Polly died in the Bradford Infirmary later that year. Unable to find any backer for his first book, <mask> set up his own publishing company, Tallis Press, which issued the thriller The Four Just Men (1905). Despite promotion in the Mail and good sales, the project was financially mismanaged, and <mask> had to be bailed out by the Mail proprietor Alfred Harmsworth, who was anxious that the farrago might reflect badly on his newspaper. Problems were compounded when inaccuracies in <mask>'s reporting led to libel suits being brought against the Mail. <mask> was fired in 1907, the first reporter ever to be fired from the paper, and he found no other paper would employ him, given his reputation.

Isabel Thorne, of the Weekly Tale-Teller penny magazine, invited <mask> to serialise stories inspired by his experiences. These were published as his first collection Sanders of the River (1911), a best seller, and in 1935 it was adapted into an eponymous film, starring Paul Robeson. <mask> went on to publish 11 more similar collections (102 stories).

Critic David Pringle noted in 1987: "The Sanders Books are not frequently reprinted nowadays, perhaps because of their overt racism".The period from 1908 to 1932 was the most prolific of <mask>'s life. Initially, he wrote mainly in order to satisfy creditors in the UK and South Africa. However, his books' success began to rehabilitate his reputation as a journalist, and he began reporting from horse racing circles. He wrote for the Week-End and the Evening News, became an editor for Week-End Racing Supplement, started his own racing papers Bibury's and R. E. Walton's Weekly, and bought many racehorses of his own. He lost many thousands gambling, and despite his success, spent large sums on an extravagant lifestyle he could not afford. During 1916, Ivy had her third and last child by <mask>, Michael Blair <mask>, and filed for divorce in 1918. 1918–1929

Ivy moved to Tunbridge Wells with the children, and <mask> drew closer to his secretary Ethel Violet King (1896–1933), daughter of banker Frederick King.They married in 1921; their daughter Margaret Penelope June (known as <mask>) was born in 1923. <mask> began to take his fiction writing career more seriously and signed with publishers Hodder and Stoughton in 1921, organising his contracts, instead of selling rights to his work piecemeal in order to raise funds. This allowed him advances, royalties, and full scale promotional campaigns for his books, which he had

He was said to be able to write a 70,000 word novel in three days and plough through three novels at once, and the publishers agreed to publish everything he wrote as fast as he could write it. In 1928, it was estimated that one in four books being read in the UK had come from <mask>'s pen. He wrote across many genres including science fiction, screen plays, and a non-fiction ten-volume history of the First World War.All told, he wrote over 170 novels, 18 stage plays, and 957 short stories, and his works were translated into 28 languages. The critic Wheeler Winston Dixon suggests that <mask> became somewhat of a public joke for this prodigious output. <mask> served as chairman of the Press Club, which continues to present an annual Edgar Wallace Award for excellence in writing. Following the great success of his novel The Ringer, <mask> was appointed chairman of the British Lion Film Corporation in return for giving British Lion first option on all his output. <mask>'s contract gave him an annual salary, a substantial block of stock in the company, a large stipend from everything British Lion produced based on his work, plus 10% of British Lion's overall annual profits. Additionally, British Lion employed his elder son, Bryan E<mask>, as a film editor. By 1929, <mask>'s earnings were almost £50,000 per annum (equivalent to about £2 million in current terms).He also invented at this time the Luncheon Club,

<mask> was the first British crime novelist to use policemen as his protagonists, rather than amateur sleuths as most other writers of the time did. Most of his novels are independent stand-alone stories; he seldom used series heroes, and when he did he avoided a strict story order, so that continuity was not required from book to book. On 6 June 1923, <mask> became the first British radio sports reporter, when he made a report on The Derby for the British Broadcasting Company, the newly founded predecessor of the BBC. Ivy's death

<mask> wrote a controversial article in the Daily Mail in 1926 entitled "The Canker In Our Midst" about paedophilia and the show business world. Describing how some show business people unwittingly leave their children vulnerable to predators, it linked paedophilia with homosexuality and outraged many of his colleagues, publishing associates, and business friends including theatre mogul Gerald du Maurier.Biographer Margaret Lane describes it as an "intolerant, blustering, kick-the-blighters-down-the-stairs" type of essay, even by the standards of the day.

In the event, he lost the election by over 33,000 votes. He went to America, burdened by debt, in November 1931. Around the same time, he wrote the screenplay for the first sound film adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles (1932), produced in England by Gainsborough Pictures. He moved to Hollywood and began working as a "script doctor" for RKO.His later play, The Green Pack, opened to excellent reviews, boosting his status even further. <mask> wanted to get his own work on Hollywood celluloid, and so he adapted books such as The Four Just Men and Mr J G Reeder. In Hollywood, <mask> met Stanley Holloway's scriptwriter, <mask>'s own half-brother Marriott <mask>. <mask>'s play On the Spot, written about gangster Al Capone, would prove to be the writer's greatest theatrical success. It was described by Jack Adrian as "arguably, in construction, dialogue, action, plot and resolution, still one of the finest and purest of 20th-century melodramas". It launched the career of Charles Laughton, who played the lead Capone character Tony Perelli. Death and aftermath

Death
In December 1931, <mask> was assigned work on the RKO "gorilla picture" (King Kong, 1933) for producer Merian C.

The flags on Fleet Street's newspaper offices flew at half-mast, and the bell of St. Bride's tolled in mourning. His body was returned to England and he was buried at Little Marlow Cemetery, Fern Lane, Buckinghamshire, not far from his UK country home, Chalklands, in Bourne End. Aftermath
Despite his later success, <mask> had amassed massive debts, some still remaining from his years in South Africa, many to racing bookies. The large royalties from his greatly popular works allowed the estate to be settled within two years.<mask> outlived her husband by only 14 months. She died suddenly in April 1933, aged 33, while the estate was still deep in debt. Legacy

<mask>'s own will left her share of the <mask> estate to her daughter Penelope (1923–1997), herself an author of mystery and crime novels, who became the chief benefactor and shareholder. Penelope married George Halcrow in 1955. The couple ran the <mask> estate, managing her father's literary legacy and starting the Edgar Wallace Society in 1969. The work is continued by Penelope's daughter, also named Penelope. The Society has members in 20 countries.The literary body is currently managed by the London agency A.P. Watt. <mask>'s eldest son <mask> <mask> (1904–1971) was also an author of mystery and crime novels. In 1934, Bryan married Margaret Lane (1907–94), also a writer.

Writing

Method
<mask> narrated his words onto wax cylinders (the dictaphones of the day) and his secretaries typed up the text. This may be why he was able to work at such high speed and why his stories have narrative drive. Many of <mask>'s successful books were dictated like this over two or three days, locked away with cartons of cigarettes and endless pots of sweet tea, often working pretty much uninterrupted in 72 hours. Most of his novels were serialised in segments but written in this way. The serialised stories that were instead written piecemeal have a distinctly different narrative energy, not sweeping up the reader on the story wave.<mask> rarely edited his own work after it was dictated and typed up, but sent it straight to the publishers, intensely disliking the revision of his work with other editors. The company would do only cursory checks for factual errors before printing. <mask> faced widespread accusations that he used ghost writers to churn out books, though there is no evidence of this, and his prolificness became something of a joke, the subject of cartoons and sketches.

 the door, were unlikely to garner great critical praise and <mask> claimed not to find literary value in his own works. Themes and critique
<mask> characters such as District Commissioner Sanders can be taken to represent the values of colonial white supremacy in Africa, and now viewed by liberals as deeply racist and paternalistic. His writing has been attacked by some for its conception of Africans as stupid children who need a firm hand. Sanders, for example, pledges to bring "civilisation" to "half a million cannibal folk".George Orwell called <mask> a "bully worshipper" and "proto-fascist", though many critics conceived <mask> more as a populist writer who wrote for the market of the time. Selling over 50 million copies of his works, including 170 novels, <mask> was very much a populist writer, and was dismissed by the literati  as such. Q. D. Leavis, Arnold Bennett and Dorothy L Sayers led the attack on <mask>, suggesting he offered no social critique or subversive agenda at all and distracting the reading public from better things. Trotsky, reading a <mask> novel whilst recuperating on his sickbed in 1935, found it to be "mediocre, contemptible and crude ... [with no] shade of perception, talent or imagination." Critics Steinbrunner and Penzler stated that <mask>'s writing is "slapdash and cliché-ridden, [with] characterization that is two dimensional and situations [that] are frequently trite, relying on intuition, coincidence, and much pointless, confusing movement to convey a sense of action. The heroes and villains are clearly labelled, and stock characters, humorous

 servants, baffled policemen, breathless heroines, could be interchanged from one book to another." The Oxford Companion to the Theatre asserts, however, that "In all his works [<mask>] showed unusual precision of detail, narrative skill, and inside knowledge of police methods and criminal psychology, the fruits of his apprenticeship as a crime reporter".<mask> did not use plot formulae, unlike many other thriller writers. The critic Wheeler Winston Dixon maintains that <mask> covered a wide variety of perspectives and characterisations, exploring themes such as feminist self-determination (Barbara on her Own 1926, Four-Square Jane 1929,  The Girl from Scotland Yard 1926), upsetting peerage hierarchies (Chick, 1923), science fiction (The Day of Uniting, 1926), schizophrenia (The Man Who Knew, 1919) and autobiography (People, 1926). Science fiction
<mask> enjoyed writing science fiction but found little financial success in the genre despite several efforts. His constant need for income always brought him back to the more mundane styles of fiction that sold more easily. Planetoid 127, first published in 1924 but reprinted as late as 2011, is a short story about an Earth scientist who communicates via wireless with his counterpart on a duplicate Earth orbiting unseen because it is on the opposite side of the Sun. The idea of a "mirror Earth" or "mirror Universe" later became a standard subgenre within science fiction. The story also bears similarities to Rudyard Kipling's hard science fiction story "Wireless".<mask>'s other science fiction works include The Green Rust, a story of

His last work of science fiction and the only one widely remembered today is the screenplay for King Kong. King Kong

Out of the many scripts he penned for RKO, Merian C. Cooper's "gorilla picture" had the most lasting influence, becoming the classic King Kong (1933). <mask> had written the initial 110-page first draft for King Kong entitled "The Beast" over five weeks, from late December 1931 to January 1932. The movie was initially to be called The Beast, and this was the name of <mask>'s treatment. In all, there were three draft versions, another titled "Kong". Kong was rejected as the title for the film because it was too similar to another Cooper film, Chang, released in 1927, and because it sounded Chinese.<mask> suggested the title King Ape. <mask>'s own diary described the writing process for this draft: Cooper fed aspects of the story (inspired partly by an aspiration to use as much footage of an abandoned RKO picture with a similar premise, Creation, as possible) in story conferences and phone conversations; <mask> then executed Cooper's ideas, the latter approving the developing script on a sequence-by-sequence basis. While working on the project, Cooper also screened various recent films for <mask> to put him in the right mindset, including Tod Browning's Dracula and James Whale's Frankenstein, as well as

texts: the fragments of sequences shot by Willis O'Brien for Creation that were to be reused in the current script. Although the draft was incomplete, <mask> only made minor revisions to it, each at Cooper's own request, before his fateful doctor's appointment in late January; when Cooper called <mask> in early February to discuss the script, someone else answered; <mask> was in the hospital. By 10 February, <mask> was dead, and Merian C. Cooper was left without a screenwriter. The fragmentary nature of <mask>'s script meant that the main dialogue-free action of the film (the jungle sequences) would have to be shot first, both as insurance and as a showreel for the board of RKO. In My Hollywood Diary, <mask> wrote about the reception of his screenplay: "Cooper called me up last night and told me that everybody who had read 'Kong' was enthusiastic.They say it is the best adventure story that has ever been written for the screen." <mask> himself had high expectations for the film: "I am certain that 'Kong' is going to be a wow." <mask> began his screenplay with Denham and the party at the island, called "Vapour Island" by <mask> because of the volcanic emissions. Ann Darrow is called Shirley Redman in <mask>'s original script. Jack Driscoll is referred to as John Lanson or Johnny in the <mask> script. Captain Englehorn appears in <mask>'s treatment, where he is much more domineering. Danby G. Denham is a promoter and a P. T. Barnum type showman who is looking for a giant ape to bring back to Madison Square Garden or the Polo Grounds to exhibit as a sideshow.The movie retains the Barnum theme

In <mask>'s original screenplay, Kong encounters the landing party when he rescues Shirley from an attempted rape by the leader of a group of escaped convicts. The crew of the boat consists of escaped convicts who have kidnapped Shirley. A dinosaur attacks their boat and wrecks it. They find refuge on the island. Shirley is in a tent when the convict named Louis tries to rape her.Kong appears, rescues Shirley and takes her away to his cave. <mask> noted in a notation on the script that Kong is 30 feet tall, thus establishing Kong as a giant ape. John and the remaining convicts then go after Shirley. They use a log to cross a ravine. Kong attacks them which leads to their deaths as the log crashes down the ravine. Kong fights and kills a triceratops. Dinosaurs and pterodactyls attack Kong and the party.Kong takes Shirley to his hideout in the mountains. Jack rescues Shirley. The expedition uses gas bombs to knock out Kong. Kong is brought back to New York where he is put in a cage. Shirley is attacked by lions and tigers let loose on purpose by Senorita. Kong kills the cats and whisks Shirley away. Kong climbs the Empire State Building where airplanes shoot at him.Merian C.

Early publicity stills for the movie have the title as "Kong" and "by <mask>" and show a lightning storm and flashes of lightning as envisioned by <mask>. In <mask>'s version, a small ape peeling a rose prefigured Kong's peeling away Shirley's clothes. <mask>'s version included an underwater scene from the attacking dinosaur's point of view as it approached a capsized boat. <mask> created the beauty and the beast theme, the overall plot structure and outline, many of the key characters, and many of the key events or episodes in the story. Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack were thrilled with the screenplay and were ready to begin according to <mask>'s diary notes in My Hollywood Diary (1932), but his 110-page script was merely the first rough draft, not a final and completed shooting script.After <mask>'s death, Ruth Rose was brought in to work on the evolving script that <mask> had started but was unable to finish or finalize. Rose happened to be Schoedsack's wife and was able to translate the expectations of the producers into the final script. Rose added the ritual scene on Skull Island to replace <mask>'s original idea of the attempted rape of Ann Darrow. Rose also added the opening scenes of the movie in which the main characters and plot are introduced. James Ashmore Creelman, who worked on the screenplay for The Most Dangerous

The job of Rose and Creelman was to rework <mask>'s original screenplay and replace scenes that failed to translate as expected. The original <mask> screenplay was published in the 2013 book Ray Harryhausen – The Master of the Majicks, Volume 1: Beginnings and Endings by Mike Hankin.The original <mask> screenplay is analysed and discussed in The Girl in the Hairy Paw (1976), edited by Ronald Gottesman and Harry Geduld, and by Mark Cotta Vaz, in the preface to the Modern Library reissue of King Kong (2005). In December, 1932, his story and screenplay for King Kong were "novelised" or transcribed by Delos W. Lovelace, a journalist and author himself who knew Cooper from when they worked on the same newspaper, and appeared in book form under the title King Kong. Lovelace based the transcription largely on the Ruth Rose and James A. Creelman screenplay. This "novelization" of King Kong, attributed to <mask>, Cooper, and Lovelace, was originally published by Grosset and Dunlap. The book was reissued in 2005 by the Modern Library, a division of Random House, with an introduction by Greg Bear and a preface by Mark Cotta Vaz, and by Penguin in the US. In the UK, Victor Gollancz published a hardcover version in 2005.

On 28 October 1933, Cinema Weekly published the short story "King Kong", credited to <mask> and Draycott Montagu Dell (1888–1940). Dell had known and worked with <mask> when both worked for British newspapers.This can be called a "story-ization" of the <mask> and Cooper story which relied on the Rose and Creelman screenplay, but which like the <mask> treatment, begins at the island. Both <mask> and Cooper had signed a contract which allowed them to develop the story in a book or short story or serial form. Walter F.

In 1959 Danish production company Rialto Film on behalf of West German distributor Constantin Film made "The Fellowship of the Frog" into a movie.

Wilhelm (<mask><mask> (1847–1912) was a German plant collector who was sent by James Veitch & Sons of Chelsea, London to collect new plants in West Africa and South America. According to Hortus Veitchii, the Veitch family history: <mask>, a promising young man, twenty-nine years of age, entered Messrs. Veitch's service as a plant-collector in 1876, and his first trip was to the West Coast of Africa in search of tropical flowering and foliage plants, very popular at that time. West Africa
<mask> set off from Liverpool in November 1876 and arrived at the island of Fernando Po in the Gulf of Guinea on Christmas Eve before travelling on to Victoria in Cameroon a week later. His travels took him into neighbouring southern Nigeria, including exploring the coastal areas around Calabar and Bonny, as well as the Cameroon mountains and the Sanaga River basin. At that time travelling in the region was difficult, and, owing to the hostility of native traders, foreigners were unable to penetrate far into the country. Whilst in Victoria, <mask> met Rev. George Thomson, a Baptist missionary and amateur plant collector, who assisted him on his plant gathering expeditions.In July 1877, after suffering from frequent attacks of malaria, <mask>'s health deteriorated and he returned to England, bringing with him a small collection of plants and seeds, including Adenorandia kalbreyeri (originally known as "Gardenia kalbreyeri"), five species of Mussaenda (a flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae) and two new orchids: Brachycorythis kalbreyeri, a terrestrial species named by Reichenbach after its discoverer, and Pachystoma thomsonianum, an epiphyte,

 named, at <mask>'s request, in honour of George Thomson. He also brought back seeds of Pararistolochia promissa which were successfully grown at Chelsea – this was described by Masters as, "one of the most extraordinary members of an extraordinary genus." The flowers extend into three tails, which sometimes reach a length of 2 feet. Colombia
Following the disappointment of <mask>'s first expedition, Harry Veitch decided to send <mask> to Colombia "where the climate is delightful on the highlands and mountain-slopes, though in the lowlands and along the coast almost as hot as in parts of Africa". <mask> departed in October 1877 and collected in the Eastern Cordillera near Ocaña, where he mostly collected various species of Odontoglossum, including Odontoglossum nobile and 0. spectatissimum. In February 1878, he left Ocaña to return to England, travelling down the Magdalena River to the coast at Barranquilla. Because of the low state of the river, the passage to the coast was difficult  and the journey (normally from seven to ten days) required nearly a month.<mask> finally arrived in England at the end of April, by when more than half his collection was unusable. He returned to Ocaña in July 1878, and he again proceeded to the Eastern Cordillera, through the towns of San Pedro, Salazar and Pamplona. Once again, he collected some extraordinary forms of Odontoglossum including 0. tripudians, 0. crocidipterum and the rare 0. blandum together with related species such as Oncidium hastilabium and  Otoglossum chiriquense.

He was praised for his "judicious packing and careful superintendence of the transport" of the scarce Odontoglossum blandum which all arrived at Chelsea in good condition. In September 1879, he again left England for Colombia, on this occasion travelling down the Magdalena River to the Central and Western Cordillera, and as far west as the Atrato River.According to the account in Hortus Veitchii, "passing from the water-shed of the Atrato to the plains, he was particularly struck by the richness of the vegetation", especially the luxuriant palm trees, of which he collected specimens of more than 100 species. Here he also collected samples of the giant arum, Anthurium veitchii, with leaves over six feet in length, which had been discovered by a previous Veitch employee, Gustav Wallis in 1874. On this expedition, <mask> travelled throughout the province of Antioquia passing through the towns of Rionegro, Medellín, Santa Fe de Antioquia, Sopetrán, Frontino, Amalfi,  Concordia and many others – en route, he collected more orchids, including  Odontoglossum sceptrum, Miltonia vexillaria, Cattleya aurea, Phragmipedium longifolium, P. schlimii alba, and several species of Masdevallia. After sending several consignments of orchids to Chelsea, <mask> returned to England in September 1880, bringing with him many living plants and some 360 species of dried ferns, including eighteen new discoveries. These were described by John Gilbert Baker in the Journal of Botany for July 1881.

 <mask>'s last journey as a plant-collector commenced in December 1880; on this occasion he again proceeded to Ocaña, where he arrived in January 1881, quickly sending home a further consignment of orchids. Leaving Ocaña at the end of the month, he went southwards to Cundinamarca and to Bogotá, on the high plains of the Eastern Cordillera.In this neighbourhood he collected more orchids, especially Odontoglossum crispum, which he brought safely to England in June 1881. Following his return to England in 1881, his engagement with Veitch ended, and after a short stay he returned to Colombia, where he set up business in Bogotá as a nurseryman and exporter of orchids continuing to send interesting finds back to the Veitch Nurseries. Honours
Many plant species have been named after Kalbreyer, including:

Adenorandia kalbreyeri (Hiern)
Cyathea kalbreyeri (Baker)
Columnea kalbreyeriana  (Mast.) Cryosophila kalbreyeri  (Dammer ex Burret)
Dennstaedtia kalbreyeri  (Maxon)
Masdevallia kalbreyeri  (Rchb. f. ex Kraenzl.) Maxillaria kalbreyeri  (Rchb. f.)
Paphinia rugosa var.kalbreyeri  (Rchb. f.)
Spathiphyllum kalbreyeri  (Maxon)
Wettinia kalbreyeri  (Burret)

The palm genus, Kalbreyera, was named after Kalbreyer but the only species in the genus has now been re-classified as Geonoma triandra (Burret) Wess.Boer. The small genus of Acanthus, Kalbreyeriella  (Lindau) , found in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panamá and Peru, also bears <mask>'s name. References

<mask> (born in 1954) is a Nicaraguan poet. Life
<mask> was born in Managua, Nicaragua. She attended the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, in León, between 1970 and 1971. While studying at the university, she organized the first poetry lectures ever, featuring the top Nicaraguan women poets. <mask> went on to study art history and literature in France. During the Seventies, she worked for the creation of a new society in Nicaragua. However, in 1978, she was forced to move to Venezuela when her family's home was unjustifiably invaded by Sandinista officials.Although she was a well known young Nicaraguan poet during the Eighties, <mask> was not paraded by the Sandinista regime because she did not belong to its party. <mask> graduated with a degree in Literature from the Universidad Central de Venezuela. She was a member of "Calicanto", a literary workshop conducted by Venezuelan writer Antonia Palacios, and participated actively in the Venezuelan literary world. In 2005, <mask> won the Mariana Sansón Argüello National Poetry Award—a literary contest organized yearly by the Nicaraguan Association of
Women Writers (ANIDE)—for her book De lo urbano y lo sagrado. <mask> currently lives in New York City where she works as a translator and practices Taoist arts. Published work

texts: apprehension of reality, of Nature, and of language through the articulation of a discourse coinciding with the feminist postulates of the difference. Her poems also represent a testimony of the revolutionary fight that culminated with the triumph of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in Nicaragua. The focus of her first collection, Así cuando la lluvia, falls on the months of May and June, considered the months of the rain and of the tree. The poet affirms the creative power of the rain identified with that of the woman and welcomes it with affection and happiness.The water brightens up the colors and dissipates monotony. It also creates a bucolic vision in which time is only present and the woman is actualized in love and in memories establishing the foundation of her existence. The woman asserts her pride of being and her common nature with the tree through the sensuality of the touch and the erotism of the body. In Cerámica sol, <mask> tries to rescue the power of the primeval word, the language rooted in the symbol and in rites. The poet becomes the sun's priestess to extol its meaning in the human life, in the humbleness of the harvests and fruits, in the activity of the bees, in love, in the chant ... The perfect conciliation of all these elements is attained in the fertile embrace of Nature. Penqueo en Nicaragua was written during the revolutionary fight of the Nicaraguan people that put an end to the regime of Anastasio Somoza.It constitutes the testimony of a call for action against injustice and a chant for the hope of liberation. With an enormous emotive force, the poet depicts the heroism and courage of the indigenous neighborhood of Monimbó that led the vanguard in the war


texts: against the Sower of the Flowers of Evil. The transformation of peace, work, music, and dance into shrapnel, bombs, destruction, and death originated the uprising against the Somocista army. <mask> remembers the dead Sandinista guerrilla fighters and the faith in the cause for Nicaragua. Pain, hope, guns, and guitars alternate in the poet's affirmation of having been "impregnated" by the love for the Revolution. The colors of Sandinismo, black and red, appear in most of the poems to verbalize the conflict generated by oppression and liberty. The denouncement of atrocities, the imprisonments for insurgency, the voices of witnesses, the poverty, orphanhood, mutilation, hunger, and affliction create a multiple cry for solidarity in the fight guided by the motto "Free Country or Death."In Aposentos, <mask>'s awareness of being a woman is the dominant theme. Using a subversive language that praises sensuality and sexuality, the poet glorifies each part of the female body. Her objective is to inaugurate a new sociological and cultural space confronting the prevalent stereotypes that limit female expression. The identification of woman and Nature emerges continuously in <mask>'s poems to communicate their essential creative commonality. It becomes a double discursive axis of denouncement: the subordinated role of women in society, and the generalized repression of their emotions, their experience of love, and writing. <mask>'s poetry deviates from the patriarchal tradition and vindicates the validity of a female discourse, the synthesis of a personal and historical process. De lo urbano y lo sagrado is a mixture of themes.On the one hand, there is nature again; there is the everyday, which the poet considers

Burks was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, but raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and attended Everman High School. <mask> was initially overlooked by scouts and only received a scholarship offer from Ranger Junior College after a showcase at Arlington Stadium. His school lost a junior college championship to the Jay Buhner-led McLennan Community College. Career
Selected by the Boston Red Sox in the first round (20th pick) of the 1983 Major League Baseball draft, <mask> made his debut in the 1987 season as a regular center fielder at age 22, becoming the third player in Red Sox history to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases in one season.He was selected to both the Baseball Digest and Topps "All-Rookie" teams. Defensively, <mask> showed excellent range, a sure glove and a strong arm. <mask>, however, was injury-prone. He had shoulder surgery in 1989, and it was the first of many setbacks for him. During the  season he hit two home runs in the same inning of a game, to become the second player in Red Sox history to achieve the feat; Bill Regan was the first, in . Later, <mask> suffered from bad knees and back spasms. After six seasons in Boston, and despite his injuries, he ended up leaving as a free agent and signing with the Chicago White Sox in January 1993.He surpassed expectations around him by turning in a solid, injury-free season, filling the White Sox' urgent need for a quality right fielder.

texts: He was one of the club's better performers in the playoffs, batting .304. A free agent at the end of the season, he signed a five-year contract with the Colorado Rockies (1994–98). On April 17, 1994, <mask> hit a game-winning home run in the bottom of the 10th inning against the Montreal Expos. It was the only major league walk-off home run ever hit at Mile High Stadium. His 1,000th career hit also came against the Expos, a triple in July 1995. In , <mask> enjoyed his best season.He led National League hitters in runs (142), slugging average (.639), total bases (392) and extra-base hits (93); was second in hits (211) and doubles (45), and fifth in home runs (40) and RBI (128). His .344 average was also second in the batting title race (behind Tony Gwynn, .353). <mask> finished third in the MVP voting. He also stole 32 bases that season, marking only the second time that two players from the same team collected at least 30 home runs and 30 steals, as Colorado outfielder Dante Bichette accomplished the feat. He remains in the top ten in many offensive categories for the Rockies. While with the Rockies, <mask> was part of the Blake Street Bombers that included Andrés Galarraga, Bichette, Larry Walker and Vinny Castilla. This was the heart of the Rockies' lineup that was second in the National League in home runs by team in 1994, then led the National League in home runs from 1995 to 1997.<mask> was traded to the San Francisco Giants in mid-season 1998 for Darryl Hamilton and Jim Stoops.

First Lieutenant <mask> (13 June 1894 – 24 August 1918) was a World War I flying ace credited with ten aerial victories. During five months of 1918 he became an ace with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and then again with the United States Air Service (USAS). Hamilton Air Force Base is named after him. Early life
<mask> was born in Troy, New York, the only child of Methodist minister Reverend John A<mask> and his wife <mask>. He was a bright scholar who took his Baccalaureate Degree magnum cum laude from Syracuse University in 1916 and was a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity. He initiated post-graduate studies at Harvard Business School in September 1916. When America entered World War I, he enlisted in the USAS, on 28 April and in May he reported to Plattsburgh, New York, for officer training.Aviation service
<mask> shipped out to England in late 1917 where he trained in early 1918 in an Avro 504, perhaps at RFC Bramham Moor which was then renamed RAF Tadcaster, near Bramham cum Oglethorpe in Yorkshire. <mask> was temporarily posted as a first lieutenant to United Kingdom No. 3 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, on 2 March 1918 He first scored as a combat pilot on 11 April 1918, flying the Sopwith Camel against his first German opponent, an LVG C.VI observation aircraft. The next day he made his second aerial kill; his third a week later. On 20 April he was flying at the tail end of 'C' flight when his commander Richard Raymond-Barker was attacked and killed by Manfred von Richthofen, known as the Red Baron. From far away <mask> saw Richthofen shoot down a second aviator (who crashed but lived), then <mask> was near enough to engage a blue Fokker Dr.I triplane, expending more than 300 rounds at it after which it went into a dive and spin, but <mask>'s own maneuvers prevented him from seeing what happened to it. <mask> returned to base and claimed a kill but it was never confirmed—all of Richthofen's flight had returned safe from the

 engagement.On 3 June 1918, <mask> became an ace, scoring his fifth confirmed victory. <mask> was assigned to the USAS 17th Aero Squadron to help them complete their training. When they moved into combat, he was one of their Flight Commanders. In his service he downed three enemy aircraft and two observation balloons, becoming a double ace—once flying under RFC command and once again for USAS. His first USAS victory on 7 August was during an offensive patrol; the squadron was flying high at  when they noticed eight Fokker D.VIIs well below them over Armentières. The 17th squadron dove to attack and <mask> downed an enemy aircraft after firing 200 rounds. On <mask>'s final mission he was paired with Lt. Jesse F. Campbell to bomb and strafe transports along the Bapaume–Cambrai road, to strafe enemy troops in retreat and to attack an observation balloon that had been spotted to the north.After dropping their bombs on a small building and transports, Campbell and <mask> turned to bust the balloon. <mask> sprayed the balloon with machine gun rounds, and its German observer officer was seen to jump from the basket as the balloon exploded in flame. <mask> was then killed by defensive fire from ground forces.

 action at Varssenaere, Belgium, August 13, 1918. Leading a low bombing attack on a German aerodrome, 30 miles behind the line, Lieutenant <mask> destroyed the hangars on the north side of the aerodrome and then attacked a row of enemy machines, flying as low as 20 feet from the ground despite intense machine-gun fire, and setting fire to three of the German planes. He then turned and fired bursts through the windows of the chateau in which the German pilots were quartered, 26 of whom were afterwards reported killed. General Orders No. 20, W.D., 1919.Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC)

On 13 August 1918, Lt. <mask> led his flight on a special mission against Varssenaere aerodrome. He dropped four bombs from 200 feet on some aeroplane hangars, making two direct hits and causing a large amount of damage. He then machine gunned the German officers' billets and made four circuits of the aerodrome, shooting up various targets. On the first circuit, he destroyed one EA on the ground which burst into flames when he shot it up. On the third circuit he repeated this performance, setting afire another Fokker biplane. His dash and skill very materially helped in the success of the operation. In addition this officer destroyed a Fokker biplane over Armentières on 7 August 1918.On 12 July he brought down two EA in flames and on two other occasions has driven down out of control enemy machines. He is an excellent patrol leader. See also

<mask> (born 7 November 1969) is a French classical pianist and the founder of the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Aix-en-Provence, France. She described family nationalities in a New York Times interview with John Rockwell: "My father came from a background of Sephardi Jews in Africa, and my mother's ancestors were Jewish Berbers from Corsica." Her father was adopted as a child by a French family and he became a  university tutor teaching languages. According to Luc Antonini   the name <mask> is typical of the region of Trets in Provence. She discovered the piano at seven. In 1982, she entered the Conservatoire de Paris, where she studied with Jacques Rouvier.In 1985, she won 1st Prize at the Conservatory and the Grand Prix du Disque of the Académie Charles Cros for her recording of the Rachmaninoff Piano Sonata No. 2. She experiences synesthesia, where one physical sense adds to another, in her case seeing music as colour, which helps her with memorising music scores. Career
<mask> <mask> has established herself not only as a virtuoso pianist, but also as a committed wildlife conservationist, a compassionate human rights activist and as a writer. <mask> began her piano studies at the local conservatory with Jacqueline Courtin before going on to work with Pierre Barbizet in Marseille. She was accepted into the Paris Conservatoire at just 13 and won first prize in piano performance a mere three years later. She continued to study with György Sándor and Leon Fleisher until, in 1987, she gave her well-received debut recital in Tokyo.That same year, renowned

texts: conductor Daniel Barenboim invited her to perform with the Orchestre de Paris: this marked the launch of <mask>'s musical career, characterised ever since by concerts with most of the world's major orchestras and many celebrated conductors. Between her debut in 1995 with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Claudio Abbado and her first performance with the New York Philharmonic under Kurt Masur in 1999 – just two of many notable musical milestones – <mask> made a wholly different kind of debut: in upper New York State, she established the Wolf Conservation Center. Her love for the endangered species was sparked by a chance encounter with a wolf in northern Florida; this led to her determination to open an environmental education centre. "When you look at a wolf in the eye, you establish a connection," Ms. <mask> said. "Hearing about wolves and seeing a wolf are two very different things. It’s about accomplishing the goals of outreach — building a bridge of understanding to our counterparts in the wild — and environmental conservation. If you call me an activist, I’m happy."But <mask>'s engagement does not end there: she is also a member of the organisation Musicians for Human Rights, a worldwide network of musicians and people working in the field of music to promote a culture of human rights and social change. For a number of years, she also found time to pursue a writing career, publishing three books that have appeared in various languages. Her first, Variations Sauvages, appeared in 2003. It was followed in 2005 by Leçons particulières, and in 2013 by Retour à Salem, both semi-autobiographical novels. It is, however,

For her latest recording, The Messenger, <mask> has created an intriguing dialogue between Silvestrov and Mozart."I was always interested in couplings that were not predictable," she explains, "because I feel as if certain pieces can shed a special light on to one another." She is joined by the Camerata Salzburg in Mozart's Piano Concerto K466 and Silvestrov's Two Dialogues with Postscript and The Messenger – 1996, of which she also performs a solo version. Completing the programme are Mozart's Fantasias K397 and K475. The Messenger was released on 2 October 2020. Highlights of the pianist's 2019–20 season included performances of Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in Philadelphia and at Carnegie Hall with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Ravel's Concerto in G major with MusicAeterna and Teodor Currentzis in Luxembourg and Munich; and the Ravel Concerto and Mozart's Piano Concerto K466 on tour in Germany with the Bamberger Symphoniker and Jakub Hrůša, as well as recitals in North America featuring repertoire from Memory. Critical reception
Critics have praised <mask>'s willingness to reinterpret works and take chances, and compared her to Glenn Gould:
<mask> doesn't sound like most pianists: she is a rubato artist, a reinventor of phrasings, a taker of chances."A wrong note that is played out of élan, you hear it differently than one that is played out of fear," she says. She admires the "more extreme players . . . people who

 wouldn't be afraid to play their conception to the end." Her two overriding characteristics are independence and drive, and her performances attempt, whenever possible, to shake up conventional pianistic wisdom. Brian Levine, the executive director of the Glenn Gould Foundation, sees in Grimaud a resemblance to Gould: "She has this willingness to take a piece of music apart and free herself from the general body of practice that has grown up around it." Personal life
In 1991, at age 21, Grimaud moved to Tallahassee, Florida. In 1997, she settled in Westchester County, north of New York City.After some time spent in Berlin, she took up residence in Weggis, near Luzern, Switzerland. She has a passion for wolves and wolf conservation. She now divides her time between her musical career and the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York. <mask> lives with her partner, the German photographer Mat Hennek, in California and Upstate New York.

About the only thing I enjoyed about those years was the location work. Basically I'm a shy person. I know that public appearances and autographs and all that are a necessary part of the business, but it wasn't for me." Post-Green Hornet

 examples of failures it caused in people's acting careers, such as the case of George Reeves when he became too affiliated with his portrayal of Superman. This also became one of his concerns when playing The Green Hornet. Another concern was its strong similarity to Batman, but he claimed that because William Morris, his agent, wanted him to do it, he did it. He also stated that his only interest in acting was taking it up as a business rather than to gain celebrity status. Personal life and death
