She also co-directed the film A Night of Romance, A Lifetime of Regret with Wu Peng and Leung Wai-man. In 1939, she created the film It's A Women's World which had an all female cast showcasing 36 women in different professions. In 1939, she returned to San Francisco to begin distributing Cantonese films in both Central and South America. In 1941, Eng directed the film Golden Gate Girl in San Francisco, which received a favorable review in Variety that year. Eng returned to Hong Kong to make a war film between 1946 and 1947.After months of preparation that included location hunting in southern China, Eng had to abandon the project. By mid-1947, Eng returned to California where she made The Blue Jade that starred another Cantonese Opera singer Fe Fe Lee. Eng followed it up with another film with Lee titled Too Late For Springtime (1949) about a Chinese girl's relationship with a Chinese-American GI. This was followed up by a film shot in the Hawaiian Islands titled Mad Fire Mad Love about a romance between a mixed-race woman and a Chinese sailor. In 1950, Eng stopped making films for a time to go into the restaurant business with her friend Bo Bo, a Chinese actor who had been stranded in New York. Eng supported him and managed his stage career in the United States, and later named a restaurant she co-founded as "Bo Bo".

 with Wu Peng for Murder in New York Chinatown. She directed all the exterior scenes of the film. Style
Eng's films were mostly standard romantic dramas, generally with women at the center. Most of her film productions are lost films except for two: Golden Gate Girls and Murder in New York Chinatown. Personal life
Eng was openly lesbian. Her sexual orientation did not affect her career negatively, partly because homosexuality was an accepted part of the Cantonese opera, which she was associated with. Around the time that Heartache was released, <mask> changed her family name from Ng to the more easily pronounceable Eng.<mask>, aged 55, died from cancer on January 25, 1970 at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. She resided at 50 Bayard Street at the time of her death. Legacy
On April 1, 2013 a documentary about the life and career of <mask> titled Golden Gate Silver Light premiered at the Hong Kong International Film Festival. The film was directed by Louisa Wei and was inspired by the 2006 discovery of Eng's photo albums dated between the years 1928 and 1948. During the production of the film, Wei found more albums but no audio or film records of Eng. S. Louisa Wei's 2014 feature documentary, Golden Gate Girls, compares the media representation of Eng with that of Dorothy Arzner. Judith Mayne, the author of  Directed by Dorothy Arzner, is interviewed in the documentary, saying, "I love the fact that history of woman filmmakers now would include Dorothy Arzner and <mask> as the two of the real exceptions, who proved it was entirely possible to build a successful film career without necessarily being a part of mainstream

<mask> (, also credited as Doona <mask>), is a South Korean actress and photographer. She became known outside Korea for her roles as a political activist in Park Chan-wook's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), archer Park Nam-joo in Bong Joon-ho's The Host (2006), and as the doll in Hirokazu Kore-eda's Air Doll (2009). She has had English-speaking roles in the Wachowski films Cloud Atlas (2012) and Jupiter Ascending (2015), as well as their Netflix television series Sense8 (2015–2018). She is also on a Netflix period zombie thriller, Kingdom (2019–present). Her most recent work is the starring role in the 2021 Netflix science-fiction series The Silent Sea. Early life
<mask> was born in Seoul, South Korea. Growing up, she would follow her mother, Kim Hwa-young, a stage actress, to theater and rehearsal halls, learning lines of dialogue as she went along.This did not initially lead her towards acting, saying: "People might say that since my mother is a theater actor, I became an actress. But to me, those experiences probably had the opposite effect. On the contrary, because I saw many great actors working with my mother, I thought this was a job only people with extraordinary talent could do." Career

1998–2005: Beginnings
A Hanyang University student in 1998, she was scouted by a modeling agency in Seoul. This led to her modeling of clothing for COOLDOG's catalog, among others. In 1999, she switched to acting before completing her studies at Hanyang University, debuting in the TV drama School. Later that year, she appeared as the ghost in The Ring Virus, a Korean remake of the Japanese horror film Ring.In 2000, director Bong Joon-ho cast <mask> in the film Barking Dogs Never Bite for her willingness to

She later cited this part as the role that pushed her to pursue a serious acting career, saying, "That film made me decide to become an actress –- a good actress –- and that film thereby changed my whole life." In Kim So-young's documentary Women's History Trilogy (2000–2004), she expressed her admiration for veteran South Korean actress Yoon Jeong-hee. In the same documentary, Bae said her own most memorable scene was being chased by the homeless man throughout the apartment in Barking Dogs Never Bite. That same year, she gave a risque performance (albeit with a body double for the more intense scenes) in Plum Blossom, and started getting more work on television. This was followed by 2001's Take Care of My Cat, directed by Jeong Jae-eun, and 2002's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, directed by Park Chan-wook. In 2003, both Tube and Spring Bears Love disappointed at the box office.After completing principal photography on Spring Bears Love, she decided to take time off from film work, saying, "I never lived even once without having anything to do. The moment a film was presented to the media, I was almost always already shooting the next one [...] I thought by myself: now my first cycle is really over. While I rest a little, I wanted to make a fresh start." During her hiatus from film, she took up photography, examples of which can be seen on her official blog and in her published photo-essay books. She also continued to work on TV, starring in Country Princess and Rosemary. Bae acted on stage in 2004 in a production of Sunday Seoul (not to be confused with the South Korean movie of the same title), a play co-written by Park

 Chan-wook. In 2005, she played an exchange student who joins a band in the Japanese film Linda Linda Linda, then played a divorced woman in the experimental omnibus TV series Beating Heart.2006–present: Breakthrough success

She reunited with Bong Joon-ho in 2006's The Host, which became the highest-grossing film in South Korean box office history. For her role, she trained in archery for months. She then returned to television, through the series Someday and How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor. After winning accolades for Air Doll, a 2009 film by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda about an inflatable doll that develops a soul and falls in love, Bae made back-to-back TV series in 2010, playing a high school teacher in Master of Study, and a night club singer in Gloria. Her 2012 sports film As One was based on the true story of the 1991 world table tennis championship held in Chiba, Japan where North Korean player Ri Bun-hui and South Korean player Hyun Jung-hwa defeated the Chinese team. Bae and co-star Ha Ji-won were trained by Hyun herself, and Bae learned to play left-handed like Ri. Afterwards she made a brief appearance in the science fiction film Doomsday Book.Bae made her English-language, Hollywood debut in Cloud Atlas, as Sonmi~451, a clone in a dystopian Korea. She also played the minor roles of Tilda Ewing, the wife of an abolitionist in pre-Civil War America, and a Mexican woman who crosses paths with an assassin. Co-directed by The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer, the  adaptation of David Mitchell's novel premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival to divisive reviews, though Bae's performance was praised by critics. In a 2019 interview, she said of the Wachowskis, "They have become as

We first met on Skype and I made a demo tape that I sent them. They gave me an important role despite my lack of English proficiency.I believe that a certain understanding developed between us at that time, which pushed me to follow them on Sense8. Thanks to them, I have had opportunities that are not given to all the actors. Most importantly, it is the passion they bring to their work that has made our collaboration so enjoyable. They made me want to surpass myself and enabled me to overcome fear and limits." Back in Korea, Bae next starred in the 2014 film A Girl at My Door, directed by July Jung and produced by Lee Chang-dong. Playing a small-town police officer who tries to save a mysterious young girl she suspects is a victim of domestic violence, Bae said she was so fascinated by the story and emotionally challenging role that she decided to star in the movie without pay three hours after reading the script. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, and Bae later won Best Actress at the Asian Film Awards for her performance.In 2015, she again worked with the Wachowskis for their space opera Jupiter Ascending, in which she played a small supporting role as a bounty hunter. This was followed by Sense8, an American science fiction series created by the Wachowskis and co-written by J. Michael Straczynski.

<mask> (27 January 1908 – 30 April 1990) (AKA "Marc" Zborowski or Etienne) was an anthropologist and an NKVD agent (Venona codenames TULIP and KANT). He was the NKVD's most valuable mole inside the Trotskyist organization in Paris during the 1930s and in New York during the 1940s. Childhood in Uman

Zborowski was one of four children born into a Jewish family in Uman, near Cherkasy, in 1908. According to the story Zborowski told friends, his conservative parents moved to Poland in 1921 to escape the October Revolution in Russia. While he was a student, Zborowski disobeyed his parents and joined the Polish Communist Party. His political activity led to imprisonment and he fled to Berlin where he was unsuccessful in finding employment. He moved to France and attended the University of Grenoble, studying anthropology and working as a waiter.Early life in Paris
In 1933, the penniless <mask> turned up in Paris with his wife and was recruited as an NKVD agent by the Leningrad émigré Alexander Adler. He provided the NKVD with a written background and revealed that his sister and two brothers lived in the Soviet Union. According to historian John J. Dziak, the NKVD had recruited him into a special group who murdered special enemies of Joseph Stalin. Those assassinated included Ignace Reiss (1937), Andrés Nin (1937), and Walter Krivitsky (1941). Members of the group are said to have included Leonid Eitingon, Nikolai Vasilyevich Skoblin, Sergei Efron, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and perhaps the psychoanalyst Max Eitingon. Embedding with Lev Sedov
The NKVD took steps to infiltrate him into the Paris organization run by Leon Trotsky's son Lev Sedov. Known as Etienne, Zborowski befriended Sedov's wife, Jeanne Martin, and she recommended him for the position of

texts:
 Sedov's secretary.Because of his obsequious nature and untiring work, and because he was also a Russian speaker in what was mostly a French group, Etienne soon became indispensable to Sedov. He served as a member of the group's Central Committee, read and answered Sedov's mail, edited the Russian language version of the Bulletin of the Opposition, stored part of the Trotsky archive at his home, and served as Sedov's deputy in his absence. All the while Etienne reported on the activity of Trotsky (codename OLD MAN), Sedov (codename SONNY), and the Trotskyists (codename POLECATS) to his NKVD handlers. Death of Lev Sedov

On 8 February 1938, the overworked Sedov suffered a severe attack of appendicitis. Etienne convinced him to have the operation secretly at a small private clinic run by Russian emigres in Paris, the location of which Etienne immediately revealed to the NKVD. Sedov was operated on the same evening and appeared, over the next few days, to have a healthy recovery. Suddenly he became violently ill, and despite repeated blood transfusions, he died in great pain on 16 February at the age of thirty-one.Historians differ as to whether or not the NKVD murdered Sedov, and there is considerable evidence to support either scenario. Internal investigation by Trotskyists

After Sedov's death, Trotsky initiated an investigation of Etienne and entrusted the matter to Rudolf Klement, his one-time aide and organizer of Trotsky's Fourth International. Before Klement could complete the investigation, an NKVD agent named Ale Taubman lured him to an apartment on the Left Bank and murdered him with the help of two other agents, the "Turk" and Alexander Korotkov. They cut off Klement's head and legs and stuffed the body parts in a trunk and threw it into the


texts:
 Seine. Several days later, the Trotskyists received a typewritten letter from Klement, accusing Trotsky of collaboration with Adolf Hitler. The letter, clearly an NKVD fabrication, was no doubt meant to explain Klement's disappearance and to denounce Trotsky at the same time. However, Klement's headless corpse washed ashore in August 1938 and was identified, from a scar on the one hand, by two Trotskyists.Death of Trotsky

Etienne now became the leader of the beheaded Trotskyist organization in Paris and continued to edit the Bulletin of the Opposition, along with Lilia Estrin Dallin (codename NEIGHBOR). He used his skills to play upon the vanities of the remaining Trotskyists and create internal divisions within the faction, especially isolating Victor Serge. In 1939, the defector Alexander Orlov sent Trotsky an unsigned letter warning him that an NKVD agent named "<mask>", fitting the description of Zborowski, had infiltrated the Paris organization. Much to her later regret, Dallin convinced Trotsky that the letter was NKVD disinformation meant to create fear within the Trotskyist faction. Meanwhile, Etienne played a small but significant role in the plot to assassinate Trotsky. At the founding conference of the Fourth International in Paris in September 1938, Etienne introduced his friend Sylvia Ageloff, an American Trotskyist and interpreter, and probably the Soviet agent, to Ramón Mercader, the future assassin of Trotsky. Sylvia explained that the passionate Mercader seduced the unattractive twenty-eight-year-old woman.She followed him to Mexico and infiltrated him into Trotsky's household. Mercader murdered Trotsky by striking him in the skull with an ice-axe on 20 August 1940. Later life in New York

Tracking of Kravchenko

Zborowski fled to


texts:
 the United States following the German invasion of France. The American Trotskyists David and Lilia Dallin assisted in his emigration and helped him obtain employment at a screw factory in Brooklyn. With money from an unknown source, he rented a fashionable Manhattan apartment in the Dallins' building and once again resumed his former occupation, spying on Trotskyists. His codenames TULIP and KANT appear in nearly two dozen Venona decrypts. He reported to the Soviet controller Jack Soble.Zborowski spied on the Dallins and helped the NKVD search for Victor Kravchenko, a Soviet engineer and mid-level bureaucrat who defected from a trade mission in 1944. Kravchenko published a book, I Chose Freedom (1946), which described the repressions in the Soviet Union, the purges, the collectivizations, and the slave labour camps. Academia

By 1945, <mask>'s usefulness as an agent had come to an end. He turned his attention to his academic career and found employment, with the aid of Margaret Mead, as a research assistant at Harvard University. In 1952, he published Life is with People (co-authored with Elizabeth Herzog), a groundbreaking study of Jewish life in the shtetls of Eastern Europe before the Second World War. The book received critical acclaim and has been reprinted numerous times. From 1951-1954 he researched at Cornell University.He became an American citizen in 1947. Senate investigation and conviction

The defector Alexander Orlov unmasked Zborowski before a hearing of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee in September 1955. The FBI already knew that Zborowski was an NKVD agent from information they had obtained from their double-agent Boris Morros. Zborowski appeared before the Senate Subcommittee in February 1956. Since he was free from


texts:
 prosecution for his activities in France, Zborowski admitted to being an NKVD agent in Paris but he denied working as an agent in America. In his testimony he claimed that the NKVD had tried to enlist him as an agent in New York but he had refused: "At that time, I became almost--I became hysterical and I remember well, I hit my fist on the table and said, 'I will not do anything with you anymore.' And I walked out.Since then, I have not seen anyone." As the Venona decrypts clearly prove, Zborowski lied about this and other parts of his testimony. Zborowski was convicted of perjury and after an appeal and retrial he received a four-year prison sentence in 1962. Return to academia

Following his release, he resumed his academic career and published People in Pain (1969), a study of responses to pain by people of different cultures. He moved to San Francisco, where, in time, he rose to the position of Director of the Pain Institute at Mount Zion Hospital. Death

Zborowski died in 1990 at the age of eighty-two. Confessions

Confession to Elisabeth Poretsky

When they were both living in the United States, Zborowski twice visited the home of Elisabeth Poretsky one day in the spring of 1955, she believed according to her memoirs.This followed visits by the FBI, who came to her and inquired about "Etienne" (as she refers to him). During their second visit, the FBI informed her that they believed <mask> to be an NKVD agent. When she next saw him, Zborowski barged into her home once the door opened. About his overall activities, he confessed:

"I came to tell you that it is all true. I have been an N.K.V.D. agent for more than twenty years" ... He did not wait for me to ask him anything, however, but began to tell me how he had been recruited by a fellow


texts:
 worker, a Russian, in Grenoble, who had suggested he go to Paris, where he could find friends and "be useful to the Soviet Union."The story of how Etienne had infiltrated the Trotskyite organization—where, in fact, very little that was of interest to the N.K.V.D. was going on—contained nothing unexpected ...

About the murder of Trotsky's son, he said:

I asked about Sedov who, according to Etienne, had been the main target of his spying. "Do you remember, when I saw you a few days after Sedov's death, what you told me then and how defeated you were? ... That was the happiest day of my life ... I did not have to spy on him anymore, I did not have to denounce him. My job was finished, or so I thought ..."

About his role in the assassination of Poretsky's husband Ludwik (AKA Ignace Poretsky), he said:

I asked him outright whether it was he who had informed the N.K.V.D. of the contents of Krivitsky's "Krusia" letter to me."Did Serge [Sedov] show you that letter?" A wry, pitiful smile on his distorted face and a shrug of the shoulders were his only reply. It was neither a confirmation nor a denial, just that helpless smile of his. It as the same with all the questions I asked about Ludwick's murder. Only a shrug of the shoulders.I knew then without a doubt who had informed the N.K.V.D. Confession in Margaret Mead papers

According to Steven Zipperstein of Stanford University:

Zborowski was not given to self-revelation. But amidst the huge body of material about Jews collected for Mead's project... is an interview with Zborowski about his childhood and youth that is probably the most honest statement he ever recorded.He provided the information in 1947, just before anti-communism surfaced as a major post-war preoccupation, two years after his espionage


texts:
 work had ended, and almost a decade before he was unmasked. He seems to have felt safer from detection, freer to talk, than ever before or afterwards. He tells of his childhood in Uman and the social downfall of his middle-class parents. His family left Russia for Poland (first Lwów, then Łódź), then how he himself left for France in 1928 with wife Regina. Communists recruited him while he worked as a busboy in Grenoble. In Paris, his quietude and acquiescence won him constant use and confidence among new Lev Sedov and Trotskyist comrades in Paris. Publications

<mask> (usually just <mask>) (c. 1730 – 19 February 1793) was a freedom fighter and guerrilla leader in Suriname, when it was under Dutch colonial rule. Born in Cottica to an enslaved African mother who escaped from her Dutch master, he grew up with her among the Maroons in the forest. He was such a powerful leader that his followers were known as <mask>'s people after him (they later became known as the Aluku). They built a fort in the lowlands and conducted raids against Dutch plantations along the coast. Under pressure from Dutch regular army and hundreds of freedmen, they went east across the river into French Guiana. Boni continued to conduct raids from there, but was ultimately killed in warfare. Biography
According to legend, Boni was born into slavery as the mixed-race son of a Dutchman and his mistress, an African slave.While pregnant, she fled into the forest, to the Cottica-Maroons. There, <mask> was born about 1730. He learned hunting and fishing skills from elders in the community. The tribe in which <mask> was born initially lived along the Cottica River in what is nowadays the Moengo resort in Suriname. In 1760, the Ndyuka people who lived nearby, signed a peace treaty with the colonists offering them territorial autonomy. In 1765, <mask> succeeded Asikan Sylvester as the leader of his tribe. Boni also desired a peace treaty, however the Society of Suriname, started a war against him.The Society had considered negotiations a sign of weakness. Also the tribe numbered about 200 people, while the Ndyuka consisted of 2,000 people. Lichtveld pointed to the Berbice slave uprising as a possible reason for the change of policy. Regardless of the motivation, in 1768, the first village was discovered and destroyed. In 1770, two other

texts: Maroon groups joined the tribe which became known as the "Boni's" (later: Aluku) after their leader. He trained his people to be formidable enemies of the colonists. Well-known fellow warriors were Baron and Joli-coeur.<mask> and his warriors operated from a large fortress with a four-meter-high wall, which they called Fort Boekoe. It was located in the wetlands of the coastal region of Commewijne, and named after the Boekoe Creek. The wetlands provided strategic defences, and they armed the garrison with rifles and a cannon. It was nearly impossible for the Dutch militia to trace or reach. From this strong position, the Bonis conducted numerous raids on plantations in the east of Suriname, especially in the area of the Cottica River. During these raids, they took provisions, tools, weapons and women. Because of the many successes of <mask> and his troops, some slaves tried to escape and join him.For the planters, the loss of slaves meant a considerable loss of capital. Because of the raids and raids that were undertaken from Boekoe, and the money-consuming punitive expeditions that followed, the fortress became a major concern for the colonists. The colony's militia was unable to counter the guerilla tactics of Boni. The militia was reinforced in 1772 by a corps of Zwarte Jagers (black hunters), recruited from 300 freed slaves and led by European officers. The soldiers were given freedom from slavery and a piece of land, if they enlisted. To distinguish them from Boni's troops, they wore red caps, which earned them the nickname Redi Musus (Dutch orthography: Redi Moesoes). This corps proved successful: after a campaign of seven months, the secret path, which was just under water and gave access to the fort, was betrayed in 1772.While

texts: Captain Mangold made a feint attack, the Jagers attacked the fort through the secret path. The fort was destroyed, but <mask> escaped to the east and crossed the Marowijne River, which bordered French Guiana. He moved his headquarters to Fort Aloekoe, among other places. In February 1773, further reinforcements arrived from the Dutch Republic: a regiment of Marines commanded by Colonel . Among the officers was John Gabriel Stedman, who published an account of his experiences. He described, among other things, the tactics of the African guerillas: how small groups of four or five men, by moving and shooting rapidly, could appear to be part of a much larger group. Knowing the wetlands and territory, <mask> and his mobile warriors confused and repeatedly defeated the Europeans and their mercenaries.Fourgeoud, who had previously served in Berbice, managed to drive Boni's forces back, although they were never defeated. Eventually, they retreated into French Guiana. The French intendant Pierre Victor Malouet visited Paramaribo in 1777 to discuss with Dutch leaders the issue of the 200 Maroons on French territory. The remaining Boni's moved southwards, and settled along the Lawa River, a river that formed the border between French Guiana and Suriname. The Ndyuka initially attacked them for encroaching into their territory. In late 1779, after negotiations, a peace treaty was signed between the two tribes. Boni was offered a daughter of the Ndyuka granman as a wife.The treaty worried Paramaribo, however the Ndyuka assured the colonists that Boni had agreed not to attack the plantations, if his people were left alone. Peace was maintained until 1788 when plantation Clarenbeek was attacked. Five soldiers were killed, and the plantation owner was

 taken away to serve a slave for the tribe. In 1789, the Ndyukas ended the peace treaty and joined the colonists The next year, Fort Aloekoe was conquered, and the plantation owner was released from slavery. In 1791 Lieutenant colonel Beutler chased the <mask>'s from Suriname into French Guiana. On 19 February 1793 <mask> had made his camp on a place called Akuba Booko Goo (English: Akuba's Broken Gourd) near rapids with the same name in the Marouini River. That night Boni was betrayed, and killed by Bambi, an Ndyuka chief, who was under great pressure from Lieutenant Stoelman, commander of the Redi Musus.<mask> is still a legendary figure among the Suriname community, where the Maroons fought for their rights to independence until 1887 when the Kwinti finally signed a peace treaty.

<mask>, née <mask> (1784 – after 1837) was an actress and operatic soprano. She appeared mostly in soubrette roles, but is known for performing as Marzelline at the premiere of Beethoven's Fidelio on 20 November 1805. Life
Born in Frankfurt, <mask> was the daughter of the famous actress <mask> née Spieß (1763–1837). She made her debut on 10 July 1798 at the Vienna Theater am Kärntnertor as "Bärbchen" (Barbarina) in the German-language premiere of Mozart's opera Le nozze di Figaro. The following year she impersonated "child roles" there, while her mother sang "tender roles". This information suggests that she was born around 1784. Together with her mother she then went to the Theater an der Wien in the spring of 1803, where she took part in the premiere of Beethoven's oratorio Christus am Ölberge op.85 on 5 April 1803. In the same concert Beethoven premiered his Symphony No. 2 Op. 36 and Piano Concerto No. 3 Op. 37. Her mother made her debut at the Theater an der Wien on 4 June 1803 as Cora in the tragedy Die Spanier in Peru oder Rollas Tod by August von Kotzebue.<mask> first appeared on 15 June 1803 as Caroline ("Blumenmädchen auf der Insel") in the musical play Die Insel der Liebe by Vicente Martín y Soler in the German translation by Matthäus Stegmayer. The placard contains the note: "Demoiselle <mask>, a new member of this society, will have the honour for the first time today to appear in the above role. In the following years she played numerous soubretten parts there, for example in Antonio Salieri's Singspiel Die Neger, which premiered on 10 November 1804. On 7 April 1805 she appeared in the Theater an der Wien in a concert of the violinist Franz Clement with an aria by .

 supported by a very excellent voice at once". In the same concert Beethoven conducted his Symphony Nr. 3 op.55, the Eroica. Ihre bekannteste Rolle war die Marzelline in Beethoven's Fidelio, die sie sowohl bei der Uraufführung der ersten Fassung am 20 November 1805 als auch bei der Uraufführung der zweiten Fassung am 29 März 1806 verkörperte. Bemerkenswert ist, dass sie am 26. März 1806, bei einer privaten Aufführung von Paër's opera Leonora im Palais des Fürsten Joseph Lobkowitz, die Titelpartie übernahm. Dies ist einer Tagebuchnotiz des Grafen Karl von Zinzendorf zu entnehmen, der sie zugleich als Geliebte des russischen Fürsten  (1769–1845) bezeichnet. The writer Ignaz Franz Castelli frequently visited her around 1807 and reported:
"A good actress and singer was at that time at the Theater an der Wien; Fräulein <mask>, as a soubrette she was excellent. I had access to the house, and the lady's mother, who played mothers in acting, but badly, often invited me to dinner and gave me sweet looks; only I was a chaste Joseph, because <mask> was not as charming as Putiphar, and therefore never left my coat there.The daughter would probably have been my own choice, and I also worked on a French comedy for her, which was given under her name under the title "Das Liebhabertheater," but it did not bear me any fruit, since she had a love affair with a Russian prince. The aforementioned play Das Liebhabertheater - the translation of a play by Emmanuel Dupaty - premiered on 22 April 1807. <mask> was actually named as the author. In the review of the Wiener Theater-Zeitung it said:

"The popular <mask>, an experienced actress and beautiful singer, also tried to preserve the love of the public as a poet. She succeeded... Demoiselle <mask> delighted me with her bright singing: "I was, when I woke up" etc. from Das unterbrochene Opferfest by Peter von

 Winter, she played the role with gentle grace, and was recalled at the end, for which she thanked modestly and appropriately, and asked the author to forgive the merits of the play, after she had worked on it, the mistakes, which she, however, made as a translator. Castelli wrote about her artistic abilities:

"A lovely actress and good singer was Fräulein <mask>, especially in the cheerful field.She knew how to equip her soubrette roles with a decency that she took everything for herself, but also in more serious roles she knew how to fill her place with honours." One of her great successes was Marianne in Soliman II. by Franz Xaver Süßmayr, which she sang for the first time on 5 September 1807 at the premiere of the new production of the opera in the Theater an der Wien. In an overview of the present state of musical art in Vienna it says 1808 about <mask>:

"Mlle <mask>, also from the Wienertheater, knew how to give her initially insecure voice several attitudes through praiseworthy diligence. She sings with ease, and would also sing with taste, if she did not sometimes let herself be carried away by the prevailing rage of ornamentation. On 31 May 1808 she left Vienna and met with Prince Tufiakin in Munich on 3 June. Subsequently she worked for several years at the Imperial German Court Theatre in St. Petersburg.As the Wiener Theater-Zeitung reported, "Demoiselle <mask>" then appeared on 9 January 1816 "after a seven-year absence for the first time, and made her debut in the role of Marianne, which she played here in 1807 when the opera was given on 5 September for the first time at the Theater an der Wien, with general applause.“ The Viennese correspondent of the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung writes about the same performance that her voice had "suffered a lot, and has almost disappeared". On 31 March 1817 she gave her farewell

 performance. In Russia she is said to have married a musician named Bender, which, however, is not mentioned in contemporary theatre and music journals. According to this she appeared at least in Vienna under her maiden name until the end. From April 1817 to November 1827 and from January 1831 to January 1834 she was allegedly engaged again in the German theatre in Petersburg. Ludovica <mask>
The mother Ludovica <mask>, who is partly confused in literature with her daughter, was born around 1763 in Wetzlar. She worked at the Theater an der Wien until 1806 and later at the Theater in der Leopoldstadt.At last she lived "in the Leopoldstadt No. 122", where she died of gout on 6 July 1837 at the age of 74. The death entry describes her as "actress and benefactor of A. Svitavy, born in Wetzlar". Further reading

After leaving Chester, he spent time in non-League football with Runcorn F.C. Halton and Witton Albion. While on the books at Witton, he spent five weeks on trial with Football League One side Crewe Alexandra but was not offered a contract, so he signed for League Two side Accrington Stanley in 2006. <mask> spent almost two years with the Lancashire club, but following his release in the summer of 2008, he returned to non-League, initially with Wrexham. While at Wrexham, he had a short loan spell with Southport where he helped the team to the Conference North play-offs.He subsequently played at Droylsden, where he was part of the team that won the Manchester Premier Cup in 2010, and Hyde before joining Southport again on a permanent basis in January 2011. He was signed by Luton Town in the summer of 2013 for an undisclosed fee, and joined AFC Telford United on loan in 2014. Both Luton and Telford won their respective leagues during the 2013–14 season, making <mask> a winner of both the Conference Premier and the Conference North in the same season. He left Luton in May 2015, later joining Shrewsbury. Described as an "express-train down the wings" by former teammate Paul Mullin, <mask> was called up to the Football Association XI standby squad for a game against Hallam, the game taking place to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the club.

Early career
With Chester, <mask> played mostly for the youth and reserve teams, but he made his Football League debut for the club in a 0–0 draw with Cambridge United on 18 September 2004, coming on as a substitute for Darryn Stamp. His debut came just one day after he signed a professional contract with Chester; manager Ian Rush had only included him on the substitutes' bench as a result of injuries to Daryl Clare and Michael Branch. The following week, he was part of the side that defeated Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough Stadium in the second round of the Football League Trophy. <mask> made three further senior appearances for Chester, all as a substitute, before leaving the club in the summer of 2005. In August of that year, <mask> moved into non-League football with Runcorn as one of several new signings for the Northern Premier League outfit.He made his first appearance for the club in the 1–1 draw with Frickley Athletic and subsequently established himself as a regular first-team player. <mask> scored his first goal for Runcorn in the 5–1 defeat of his hometown club, Prescot Cables and he netted again the following week in the loss to Matlock Town. He went on to play 21 league matches for Runcorn before joining Witton Albion in March 2006. During his short spell with the club, he scored 6 goals in 18 league

The subsequent suspension meant that <mask> spent almost a month out of the side before returning in late December in the loss to Bristol Rovers. He made his transfer to Accrington permanent in January 2007, signing a two-year contract with the club, and the following week he scored a late winner in the 3–2 victory over Mansfield Town, his first goal for the team. <mask> remained a first-team regular for the rest of the 2006–07 season and retained his place in the starting line-up throughout most of the following season, and scored his first Accrington goal away from the Crown Ground in the 8–2 loss at Peterborough United on 15 January 2008. <mask> made a total of 51 league appearances for Accrington, scoring 5 goals, but in May 2008, he was one of 10 players released by the club.

 distinction of being awarded both Conference Premier and Conference North winners' medals in the same season. <mask> played a more active part in Luton's return to the Football League, playing in 18 league games, often in the starting XI, and scoring three goals. On 27 April 2015, <mask> and teammate Ricky Miller were both arrested by Bedfordshire Police in connection with an alleged assault following Luton Town's end of season awards night. Both were released on bail, but were suspended by the club pending a police inquiry. <mask> was not charged due to a lack of evidence. On 18 May 2015, <mask> left Luton by mutual consent two months before the end of his contract. Shrewsbury Town
Following his departure from Luton, <mask> joined Shrewsbury Town, recently promoted to League One, on 6 June 2015.Making only sporadic substitute appearances in the early part of the season, <mask> had to wait until 28 December to make his first league start for the club, scoring a late winning goal in a 2–1 away victory over Crewe Alexandra. He scored another late winner away at the league-leaders Burton Albion the following month, eventually ending the season with seven goals in all competitions as Shrewsbury avoided relegation with a game to spare. A persistent thigh injury restricted <mask>'s first-team involvement at the start of the following season, which also coincided with a change in management at the club, after a poor start to the season left Shrewsbury rooted to the bottom of the League One table. <mask> scored his first goal of the season against Oxford United, deep in injury time, to seal a 2–0 victory for new manager Paul Hurst in his first home league match in charge. After becoming a first-team regular under Hurst, and helping Shrewsbury avoid relegation once again in 2016–17, <mask> signed a two-year contract extension in May 2017. He featured in 58 matches in all competitions in 2017–18, scoring twelve goals, as Shrewsbury reached both the EFL Trophy final and the

<mask> (November 24, 1880 – October 13, 1933), known as The Landru of the Tiber, was an Italian serial killer who killed at least three women he contacted through lonely hearts ads between 1928 and 1932. Convicted for these crimes, he was sentenced to death and subsequently executed. Biography
<mask> was born on November 24, 1880, in Subiaco, the only child of peasant parents who died when he was young. As a result, Serviatti was raised by another family in the countryside, where he was alleged to have killed animals for personal enjoyment and claimed that he wanted to become an executioner when he grew up. Despite his lack of education and violent tendencies, he was temporarily employed as a nurse at a polyclinic in Rome, from where he was eventually expelled for mistreating patients. He then found himself a job as a butcher, married to Angela Taborri and had a son, Giuseppe. The family lived off his meager salary at Principe Amedeo 168 in Rome, near the Termini railway station.Murders
In July 1928, Serviatti began corresponding with 42-year-old Pasqua Bartolini Tiraboschi from Chiavari, a former opera singer who was left a hefty inheritance by her late husband. He managed to convince the woman to move to La Spezia, promising that they would be married there. After maintaining a relationship with her for some time, he then strangled her during sex and stole all valuables that his late lover had on herself. After that, Serviatti dismembered Tiraboschi's body into tiny pieces which he dumped into the building's cesspit. As her disappearance had gone unnoticed, Serviatti quietly returned to his wife without incident, deciding

 that this method would help satisfy both his financial and sexual desires. In the summer of 1930, Serviatti started posting ads in the lonely hearts section of Il Messaggero, describing himself as a retired war veteran earning 450 lire a month and searching for a wealthy madam, preferably working as a maid, for marriage purposes. The first to respond to his ad was a young maid named Beatrice "Bice" Margarucci, who had just returned overseas from the United States.Serviatti convinced her to move in with him in Rome's Esquilino rione. In early November, he strangled Margarucci during sex and then dismembered her corpse, stuffing the remains into a suitcase which he then dumped from the Garibaldi Bridge into the Tiber. The suitcase was later found on November 3 on the shores between Santa Marinella and Ostia. In the summer of 1932, Serviatti posted a similar ad in Il Messaggero, this time presenting himself as a retired marshal. This attracted the attention of 40-year-old Paolina Gorietti, a former maid for a wealthy family in Rome who now worked as a waittress in her native Naples. Starstruck by her perspective husband's promises of a wedding, family and opening of a small shop in La Spezia, Gorietti excitedly informed her colleague Olga Melgradi about her plans before leaving for the city. She arrived in early November 1932, but ceased all contact with her friend only days later.Arrest
On the morning of November 16, 1932, two expensive leather suitcases were left abandoned at the Napoli Centrale railway station after being left off from a train coming from Torino Porta Nuova. Since the mysterious man who carried them wasn't

To their shock, when they opened the bigger suitcase, they found the torso of a woman, all wrapped up in old newspapers and covered in sawdust. On the next day, the other suitcase was opened, which was also found to contain remains corresponding to the same body. Determined to quickly solve the case, the Royal Carabinieri started investigating for any possible leads, but were left with dead ends and nothing pointing to the identities of either the victim or her killer. When news of the mysterious corpse was posted in the local newspapers, investigators were contacted by Olga Melgradi and Gorietti's brothers, who claimed that the deceased woman was her friend and sister, Paolina, who had disappeared not too long ago after alleging that she was going to marry a man living in Rome. She then presented a letter sent to Gorietti from the man in question, who had signed it at the end with his real name: <mask> <mask>.On December 9, 1932, <mask> was apprehended by authorities while having dinner with his wife at their apartment. His wife and son were also taken in for questioning, as there were suspicions that they had helped cover up the crimes, but were both later released due to lack of evidence. As for <mask>, he initially solely admitted to bringing Gorietti to the city, but claimed he had nothing to do with her murder. After a few days of interrogations, he finally admitted his guilt, claiming that he had killed and then dismembered Gorietti's body and thrown the remains which he couldn't stuff into the

 suitcases into the canals. To the shock of the investigators, he also revealed that he was responsible for killing several other women, whom he refused to name or give any details. Due to the similarities in the murders, <mask> was linked to the murders of Tiraboschi and Margarucci, despite the fact that he vehemently denied killing the former. No other killings were ever linked back to him despite his claims.His trial began in the district court of La Spezia on June 14, 1933, and in the end, <mask> would be convicted of his three known murders and robbing 2,000 lire in cash from Gorietti. On July 8, he was sentenced to death for the Gorietti killing, while he was given two life terms for those of Tiraboschi and Margarucci, all of which were upheld by the Supreme Court of Casssation. <mask> then pleaded for a pardon from King Victor Emmanuel III, who ignored his requests. As such, on October 13, 1933, <mask> <mask> was brought out of prison and executed by firing squad in Sarzana. See also

<mask> the Cenobiarch ( 423–529 AD) was a monk, abbot, and saint who was a founder and organizer of the cenobitic way of monastic life. His feast day is on January 11. Life

Early life
He was born in Mogarissos, a village in Cappadocia, Saint Basil's province. <mask>' parents Proheresius and Eulogia were both very pious. Later Eulogia would become a nun taking her son Theodosius as her spiritual father. Monastic beginnings
When he was younger he felt a desire to imitate Abraham by leaving his parents, friends, relatives and everything else for the love of God. <mask> set out for Jerusalem at the time of the Holy Fourth Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon held in 451.When <mask> reached Antioch, he went to see Saint Symeon the Stylite, to ask for his prayers and blessing. Arriving at the pillar of Saint Symeon he was miraculously greeted by name and was invited to ascend the column. <mask> climbed the pillar and prostrated himself before Saint Symeon who embraced him with his blessing and prophesied great spiritual glory for <mask>. When <mask> reached Jerusalem he spent time visiting and venerating the Holy Places. He then decided it would be best to obtain discipline for himself before he settled in solitude. <mask> began his monastic labors under the hermit abbot Longinus, settling near the Tower of David. During this time there lived a wealthy and pious woman named Ikelia, who built a church near a place called "The Old Kathisma" and dedicated it to the Theotokos.Ikelia requested to the elder Longinus that <mask> settle in that place to which he agreed.

 some time Theodosius had many visitors and pilgrims who distracted and deprived him of his solitude. Life as a hermit
Eventually Theodosius could no longer handle his admirers and left the Old Kathisma so that he might better dedicate himself to God. He settled on the peak of the mountain and lived in a cave. There is a tradition from the ancient fathers that this was the same cave the three Magi spent the night after they had worshiped the Lord, and that an angel was sent there and ordered them to return to their own country by another way, which they did. While dwelling in the cave Theodosius performed great feats of asceticism. He prayed at all times and he even suspended a rope that it might prop him up in case sleep overcame him, and thus he stood through the night in prayer.He remembered never to satisfy his hunger, but ate only enough so that he would not fall ill from extreme fasting. He ate only dates, carob, wild vegetables and legumes soaked in water. If the land was unproductive and arid he soaked the hearts of palms and ate them only from excessive need. He never tasted bread for thirty years. Communal life, founding of future monastery

Theodosius formed a small community of monks near Bethlehem, which later became the Monastery of St. Theodosius. The community grew rapidly, with monks of several cultures and languages, and became very well known for its work with the sick, elderly, and mentally impaired. When <mask>' friend and countryman Sabbas was appointed archimandrite of all the isolated monks in Palestine by Patriarch Salustius of

 Jerusalem, <mask> was made the leader of all those monks who lived in community.This is the origin of his being called "the Cenobiarch", which translates as chief of those living a life in common.

Anti-monophysitic stance
Theodosius was a staunch opponent of Monophysitism, which caused the Emperor Anastasius to remove him from office temporarily. Death
Theodosius died near Jerusalem, at about 105 years old. References

Cajemé / Kahe'eme (Yoeme or Yaqui Language for "one who does not stop to drink [water]"'), born and baptized José María Bonifacio Leyba Pérez (also spelled Leyva and Leiva), was a prominent Yaqui military leader who lived in the Mexican state of Sonora from 1835 to 1887. Kahe'eme (Cajemé) is originally a family clan name, and was also used by Fernando Leyba, the father of José María Bonifacio Leyba Pérez (El Siglo, 1851). Biography

José María Bonifacio Leyba Perez was born May 14, 1835
, at Pesiou (the Yaqui name), Sonora, also known as Villa de Pitic (Pitic is derived from the Yaqui word "Pitiahaquím," meaning "place surrounded by streams"), currently called Hermosillo, in honor of José María González de Hermosillo, hero of the insurgency in the Mexican War of Independence against Spain. Cajemé's foremost biographer, Ramón Corral, stated in his published biography of Cajemé that he was born in 1837 (Corral, 1959 [1900]). This date has been used by many other writers since then. However, the baptismal record shows this to be incorrect (Iglesia Católica, 1835), and that <mask> (José María Bonifacio Leyba Peres) was actually born two years earlier. Ramón Corral's initial series of biographical newspaper articles on Cajemé appeared in Sonora's official state newspaper, La Constitución (Corral, 1887).In the articles, José María Leyba's father is initially properly identified as Fernando Leiva. Later in the articles, José's father is called "Francisco," an error on the part of the typesetter in publishing the newspaper

 articles. This name has mistakenly continued to be used in later publications since then. Corral states that Fernando was born at Huirivis, Sonora, and his mother, Juana María Peres, Corral says was born at Potam, Sonora. The historic record shows Fernando was actually born January 18, 1798, at Hermosillo, Intendencia de Arizpe, Nueva España, and Juana was born February 24, 1815 at Hermosillo, Intendencia de Arizpe, Nueva España, facts supported by their recorded baptismal records (Iglesia Católica, 1798; Iglesia Católica, 1815 respectively). California Gold Rush

At the age of 14, José accompanied his father Fernando, and many other Yaqui people from Sonora, during the 1849 "Gold Rush" to Upper California. José and his father returned to Sonora about two years later.José seems to have learned English at that time, as well as having his first experience in defending himself against armed conflict (Corral, 1959 [1900]). In spite of statements to the contrary, his father Fernando evidently did well in the gold fields, as José was enrolled in an exclusive private school, the only school at the time in Guaymas, and one of only 20 schools in the State of Sonora in the 1850s (Molina, 1983). This was the Colegio Sonora operated by Cayetano Navarro, Prefect of Guaymas. José subsequently learned to read and write Spanish. Corral correctly states that Cajemé was 16 to 18 years of age during his time attending school, supporting the actual 1835 year of his birth (Corral, 1959 [1900]). Military Experience

José María Leiva


texts: (Leyba) had his first taste of military battle in 1854, while serving with the "Urbanos," the local militia of Guaymas, which was organized by his teacher, Cayetano Navarro. This occurred when a plot to seize control of Sonora was carried out under the leadership of Count (Comte in French) Gaston de Raousset-Boulbon, who had two years earlier tried to seized the city of Hermosillo by force, and had been repelled in that attempt after they had captured Hermosillo.At 14:30 hours on July 13, 1854, the battle began, with the Count's forces attacking the defenders of the Guaymas town square. The attackers numbered more than 350 French, Germans and Chileans under the Count's leadership. After fighting the Mexican forces for about two hours, the invaders began to retreat. After seeing all of the men that Raousset-Boulbon had lost in the fighting, the French vice-consul, Joseph Calvo, came and requested his intervention to make peace. Calvo promised protection to all who took refuge under his flag, but hesitated for some time before extending this to include Raousset (Scroggs, 1916, p. 61). Under the command of General José María Yáñez, the Urbanos and the other Mexican forces in Guaymas were victorious. Raousset-Boulbon surrendered his army, asking for no other condition than to respect their lives.The surrender took place at 6 pm the same day, giving 313 prisoners being counted among them Count Raousset-Boulbon. The Mexican Army collected 310 rifles, 10 shotguns, 7 swords, 6 flags, a campaign banner and a forge. The
