 was also the presence of a religious element, not "the work and conventional phraseology of a church or sect, but deep and thrilling undertones...caught from the inspiration of prophets and apostles of an older day" Kossuth and Mazzini were "breathing the living spirit of Christ". This was inescapably a form of political theology that wholeheartedly embraced nationalism. And when <mask> claimed that Kossuth and Mazzini were currently: “promoting the moral and spiritual advancement of the human race”, it was too much for other Unitarians, the Rev. B. Mardon at a meeting of the Trustees objected strongly to <mask>'s politicisation of his lectures. On 27 April 1855 he delivered a lecture addressed to the Secularists at the Literary Institution, John Street, Fitzroy Square, London, obtaining praise from George Holyoake (1817–1906)

From 1853 <mask> was a trustee of Dr. Williams's foundations. In October 1854–55 <mask> taught a course in Moral Philosophy at Bedford-square Ladies' College, London, founded in 1849 by Elizabeth Jesser Reid (1789–1866) who Tayler had known since 1838.Further Travel and Study in Germany 1856-62
In 1856 <mask> visited Heidelberg in Germany where he met amongst others, Baron Christian Charles Josias von Bunsen, the historian Friedrich Christoph Schlosser and the theologian David Friedrich Strauss(1808–1874), the author of Das Leben Jesu, a work that <mask> wrote "which shook the whole Theological World like an earthquake, though it was only an explosion of elements that had long been fermenting under Hegelian influence in the school of Tübingen, and might therefore have been predicted."

Once again in Germany in the summer of July–August 1857 he spent part of his holidays at Düsternbrook, Kiel, and visited the university where he met the philologist Georg Curtius (1820–1885), the classical geographer Peter Wilhelm Forchhammer (1801–1894) who presented <mask> with a monograph of his on Achilles; Madame Dorothea Hensler (née Behrens) the friend of Niebuhr― she was the sister of his first wife―  as well as the theologian Dr. Carl Peter Matthias Lüdermann. He praised the university library pursuing his studies very diligently working "every morning till dinner". In 1858 he attended the 300th anniversary celebration of the founding of the University of Jena. In 1862, accompanied by his daughter Hannah, <mask> was again in Germany, Thuringia, Leipzig, Dresden and Coburg.At Koblenz, he slept at the hotel Zum Weissen Ross at Ehrenbreitstein- in the identical rooms he and his wife had taken back in 1835. He spent the summer months at Bad Liebenstein in the Thuringian forest (six weeks) with excursions to Wilhelmsthal, near Eisenach, and visits to Coburg, Hof and Leipzig. In Leipzig he met Constantin von Tischendorf (1815–1874), who showed him the original codex Sinaiticus, he also made a tour of Brockhaus the publishers.

texts: February 1858, a deputation of English Presbyterian Ministers of London and Westminster, presented an address of congratulation to Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace, on the occasion of the dynastic marriage (25. 1.1858) of the Princess Royal, Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa (1840–1901) to Prince Frederick William of Prussia (1831–1888). <mask> personally addressed Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (1819–1861). A few days later <mask> waited on the Prussian ambassador, Count Albrecht von Bernstorff (1809–1873), to deliver a spirited Anglo-German address to the married couple. Throughout July–August 1859, <mask> was with his family in the Lake District; he attended at Rydal Mount the sale auction of Wordsworth's books (primarily to buy books for Henry Crabb Robinson); on 14 August he climbed Skiddaw mountain (3054 ft; 931 m) and <mask> and his daughter Hannah were involved in a serious road accident (26 August). From May to June 1860 <mask> was seriously ill— a weak and sensitive stomach, with frequent feelings of nausea— at Heathside Cottage, Northend, Hampstead. In October, together with his wife, who was also poorly, they were convalescing at Eastbourne, Sussex, he wrote that he was still recovering having "swallowed enough of quinine, iodine and nitric acid during the last two months to disorder one's natural system completely." In what was one of the coldest Decembers in London (at Hyde Park it had measured −17C ) he announced his retirement from Little Portland Street Unitarian chapel.He visited the Netherlands(University of Leyden) and Belgium in 1867. <mask> was present at the meeting at Sion College (15

In April 1868 <mask> received an invitation to attend the approaching tercentenary of the Unitarian Church in Transylvania (The oldest Unitarian community in Europe, was at Thorla in Transylvania) and at the age of seventy-one he left London (accompanied by his daughter) on 30 June, bound for Transylvania "proceeding by Brussels, Cologne, Coblentz, [through Würtzburg and Bamberg]and Heidelberg.He continued via Vienna, Budapest, Klausenburg and in August was in Gyéres. On his way to Transylvania, writing from the Frankische Schweitz we possess a Unitarian credo of Catholic spirit, some eight months before his death, where <mask> revealed himself a follower of Richard Baxter (1615–1691) a 'Baxterian', thankful for having been born and bred into a Presbyterian Church "which has never made anything fundamental in Christianity, but the spirit of Christ himself" he wrote to his friend <mask>: ”I consider Baxter to have been the first who introduced the essence of this grand faith, as the bond of all true Church life, into this country; and look on our Presbyterian forefathers, not excluding Priestley and Price, with Dr. Channing and yourself, as his genuine and consistent followers- only developing the germs which he left behind him.”

Death and Commemoration

By 8 November he was back in Hampstead, London. Following his return from this Transylvanian journey, according to Thom, “A languor marked him from that time, with the not unfrequent look of one whose

 mind was far away.”

On 28 May 1869 he died in Hampstead, and on 3 June he was buried at Highgate Cemetery, beside his wife and son. There is a window dedicated to him in Rosslyn Hill Chapel, Hampstead, on the east side in the middle with the following inscription:
“In memory of the Revd <mask> Tayler, B. A.Principal and Professor of | Manchester New College, London. Born August 16th 1797. Died May 18th 1869. His scholarly attainments, his comprehensive views, his catholic spirit, and his far-seeing wisdom all known by his writings. This window is placed here by friends and fellow worshipers as a tribute to his simple and elevated character, saintly virtues, large humanity tender sympathies and child-like devotion. His life was a persuasive to piety; his memory lifts up the heart to a better world.”

Family
<mask> married (6 January 1825) Miss Hannah Smith (died 16 February 1862), the daughter of the banker Timothy Smith of Icknield, Birmingham. Their first child, Hannah Elizabeth (1826?-†11 February 1899) was probably born early 1826; the following year a second child, <mask> <mask> (1827–1854).On 8 July 1838, their 3rd child, a daughter, was born at Blackpool, and died the following year on 22 March 1839.

<mask> was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 1971 (formerly Salisbury, Rhodesia). Due to the escalating situation during the Rhodesian Bush War, he moved with his mother and sister to Johannesburg in 1976, the year of the Soweto Uprisings. At the age of ten, he attended boarding school in KwaZulu-Natal at Clifton Nottingham Road and Michaelhouse. The Midlands landscape would later feature strongly in his novels and plays. In 1990, in the weeks that saw the release of Nelson Mandela from jail and the unbanning of the African National Congress, <mask> went to the University of the Witwatersrand to study Fine Art, but later moved to a BA (Honors) in English and European Literature.In 1995, he worked as assistant to the director Barney Simon at the Market Theatre. Following Simon's death, he moved to England, where he would remain for ten years. There he worked at the Young Vic Theatre with Tim Supple and at the Royal Shakespeare Company with Michael Attenborough. He was also a theatre critic for some years at Time Out magazine. He published his first novel, Embodied Laughter, at the age of twenty-six in South Africa and England and adapted Laughter in the Dark for the Royal Shakespeare Company and BBC Radio 3 shortly afterwards. He returned to live and work in South Africa in 2004.

 The White Room (Picador Africa, St Martins Press, New York (audiobook)). The Landscape Painter and The Dream House both won the prestigious UJ Award for South African Literature in English and The Dream House was also shortlisted for the Sunday Times Barry Ronge Fiction Award. The Dream House is the prescribed IEB Matric set work for South African schools from 2019 to 2021. <mask> has also directed a range of theatre productions in the United Kingdom and South Africa, including Laughter in the Dark (Royal Shakespeare Company),  Blood Wedding (Pegasus Theatre, Oxford), Grimm Tales and The Jungle Book (both Market Theatre, Johannesburg), The Perfect Circle (Wits Theatre) and Dream of the Dog (SAFM, Hilton Arts Festival).Much of <mask>'s writing explores different perspectives on the truth. His work increasingly explores character, plot and relationships to be sites for ambiguity and dialogue. He uses techniques from the theatre in his fiction such as differing perspectives and dramatic irony to represent the complexity of post-apartheid South African society – extending these themes to a global context in several instances. The Girl in the Yellow Dress, one of his best known works, dramatises a dialogue between Africa and Europe – the ‘Third’ World with the ‘First’ World. He uses his experience of growing up in war-torn Zimbabwe and apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa to speak back to the complacencies of contemporary America and Europe. Mary Corrigall in the Sunday Independent stated, “<mask> has crafted a complex and sophisticated piece of work that will become a new benchmark for South African theatre.”

<mask> has been celebrated by novelists Nadine Gordimer and Andre Brink.

 Shortly before her death, Gordimer stated “The Dream House is an open and frank exploration of human life that resonates beyond race.Looksmart is a welcome new kind of character in the constantly evolving reality of African literature.”

Brink wrote, “<mask> is in the vanguard of the latest and most exciting novelists in South Africa, both robust and sensitive, offering a barometer of the best to be expected from the newest wave of writing in the country”

<mask>, née Nymand (10 February 1843 – ?) was a British athlete famous for her feats of pedestrianism in the latter half of the 19th century. She set various records for distance covered in a given time period, becoming known as ‘Champion Lady Walker of the World’. After becoming the dominant pedestrian in the United Kingdom, she participated in similar events in the United States to great acclaim. Early life
<mask>'s early life is not very well known. Her father Gustavas Nymand was reported to be a ‘Cockney Jew’, but the nationality of her mother was not known. She left home at 16 to join a theatre company and five years later married the man whose name she was most commonly known by.She claimed to have been a singer, clown, and theatre proprietress, with a childhood ambition to be famous by accomplishing something no one else could do. Having struggled to make a name for herself as an actress, <mask> and her husband became managers of a theatre in Cardiff. In 1877 her husband died, leaving <mask> on the brink of bankruptcy. Career in pedestrianism
<mask>'s interest in pedestrianism started in 1877 when she met British champion racewalker William Gale at an event in Cardiff. Unlike other working class pedestrians such as Emma Sharp who claimed to do no formal training, <mask> was trained by Gale who specialized both in pedestrianism and sleep deprivation. After training for six weeks with Gale, <mask> made her pedestrian debut in Newport, Wales in September 1877. She walked 1,000 half-miles (0.8 km, or 805 km total) in 1,000 half-hours and got no more than 20 minutes rest at one

Her second walk was planned to be 1,250 half-miles (2,012 km total) in 1,000 half-hours in Exeter, October 1877, which would break a record of  total) in 1,000 hours set by Captain Robert Barclay, but that had to be abandoned when a storm blew in. This did not deter <mask> and Gale, and they were able to accomplish that feat in Plymouth later that year. In addition to breaking the distance record by , by starting each  at the beginning of the hour (rather than completing two consecutive miles as Barclay did) <mask> completed the event with much shorter rest periods. After this event <mask> was referred to in the press as a ‘Champion Lady Walker of the World’. <mask>'s first indoor event was a  28-hour walk again in Plymouth. However, the pollution from gas lamps and cigars gave <mask> problems breathing.After falling a number of times she collapsed unconscious after completing . Following this failure <mask> went to the press and claimed she would ‘never take on another event she would not finish’. She completed 1,344 quarter-miles in the same number of quarter-hours in Plymouth and  every hour for 28 days in Boston before attempting to equal Gale's record of  in 1,000 hours. <mask> started the event on 8 April 1878 and completed the event on 20 May 1878. Two days later, she got married for the second time to William Paley, a theatre man. After completing three more walks during the summer of 1878, <mask>

 established herself as the dominant pedestrian in the UK. Therefore, on 13 October 1878, with the aim of making a name for herself in the US, <mask>, Paley, her manager  Webb and her assistant Elizabeth Sparrow sailed in the steamship Ethiopia across the Atlantic.Mozart Garden – US debut

<mask>'s manager Webb wanted to launch her US debut (2,700 quarter-miles (1,086 km total) in 2,700 quarter-hours) in Glimore's Garden (which later became Madison Square Garden). However, William Kissam Vanderbilt, the venue's owner rejected their request claiming ‘The woman will never accomplish the feat and nor can any woman’. This led Webb to approach Mozart Garden, a smaller venue in Brooklyn which was refurbished for the event, reducing the seating from 2,000 to 800 to make way for a track which was surrounded by an  railing and measured by Brooklyn's city surveyor to ensure accuracy. The venue was so small that the track was only  in circumference, requiring <mask> to walk seven laps to complete each quarter of a mile (400 m). A ‘privacy tent’ was built for <mask> to use during her short rest periods containing a bed and a makeshift kitchen including a stove. Walking 2,700 quarter-miles in so many quarter-hours was an accomplishment never attempted by any person before in the US, requiring an ability to endure severe sleep deprivation, leading the champion US pedestrian Daniel O'Leary to claim ‘he would not attempt it’. The event was so popular that the spectator fee was raised from 25 cents to 50 cents after 5/6 of the event had been completed.By the final day of the event ticket prices were

She completed the event on 13 January 1879 to a venue so packed that police had to prevent additional spectators. Many of the spectators were women who it was reported regarded <mask> as 'the most wonderful of their sex'. There were numerous checks and judges to ensure the integrity of the event and doctors who checked on <mask> concluded that she had trained herself to cope with sleep deprivation, since she had no more than nine minutes sleep at a time during the entire 28-day event. into the event <mask> played the piano and sang Verdi’s "Back to Our Mountains" during her rest period and became known for such entertainment during the walk. Over the next few weeks she continued to entertain the crowds with impromptu singing and speeches.<mask> had a number of celebrities come and walk with her during the event including 75-year-old boxer Bill Tovec, General Tom Thumb and Texas Jack. She also entertained the crowd by marking the faces of sleeping spectators with coal. Because of the heavy wagers on the completion of the event, <mask> required protection in the final days of the walk. There were reports of attempted gassing with chloroform although <mask> denied this. With only half a mile to go <mask> sang ‘Nil Desperandum’ to the crowd before completing her penultimate lap. Her final quarter of a mile was then completed in 2 minutes 37 seconds the fastest of all 2,700. The total receipts of the event were reported to be $32,000 of which

 <mask>'s personal share was reported to be $8,000.Health, sleep and nutrition
When asked by reporters about fatigue, <mask> claimed her biggest problem was often with blisters and the pain of them preventing her sleeping. However, the sleep deprivation became apparent even within the first two days, where she had periods of stumbling through the walk in an almost semi-conscious state before appearing as lively as she was at the start a few hours later. In these sleepy periods her assistant Sparrow had to prepare her to walk at the three-minute warning bell, and on occasion had to send her back to the track when she hadn't completed the required seven laps. After , the regular check by the physician noted she had a temperature of , pulse 78–80, with her only complaints being badly blistered feet and mental anxiety interfering with sleep. Mike Henry, <mask>'s coach, who walked with her for much of the event, was not in such good health with blisters covering his feet and suffering from exhaustion and dizziness. He had to retire, being replaced by one of the race judges, Charles Hazelton. <mask> ate at almost every rest time, unless she was sleeping, and her diet included beef, oysters, corned beef, potatoes, cakes and grapes; she drank beef tea, port wine and occasionally champagne.Critics of pedestrianism
Local magistrates in Boston, UK, objected to walking on Sundays believing that it corrupted morals. However, <mask> found support in the local mayor who claimed that Boston was ‘more moral than Plymouth’ where <mask> had last walked on a Sunday. The New York Times was also critical

There were others who claimed that it was cruelty for a woman to be put through such suffering and claimed during her walk in Chicago that her husband coerced her. To these criticisms <mask> responded ‘I am walking against my husband's wishes’.

<mask> (; born in 29 December 1958) is an Algerian former football player and manager. He is widely considered as the best Algerian player of all time and one of the best players in Africa. He is said to have invented the "Blind Pass". He is awarded the 4th best African player of the century. He holds the record as the most capped Algerian player with 100 national caps (147 caps not recognized by FIFA) and is also the third best goalscorer of the Algerian national team in all time with 28 goals (34 goals not recognized by FIFA). <mask>'s goal against reigning European champions West Germany earned Algeria a stunning 2–1 victory in their World Cup debut in Spain '82. Club career

<mask> spent almost his entire career at home (apart from a brief spell in Qatar late in his career), most notably with his hometown club GC Mascara, as well as MC Oran.He played also with MC Alger for two years during his military service in Algiers. He won two domestic championships during his career in 1984 with GC Mascara and in 1988 with MC Oran. After returning for another spell in Mascara in 1994, he continued playing until retirement in 1999. Belloumi had contact with various European clubs, including Barcelona, before Spain '82, but "the law did not allow us to leave the country before the age of 27". In 1985, he caught the eye of Juventus after shining in a friendly against them, only to miss out on a dream transfer after breaking his leg in the African Champions' Cup in Libya against Al-Ittihad. He was understandably disappointed "It was a real shame for me that I couldn't go". Often overlooked for international recognition due to not joining a major European club, despite the

Charles J. "<mask><mask> (April 15, 1926 – February 19, 2010) was an American comic book artist and advertising art director, best known for his work with writer-artist Will Eisner on the celebrated comics feature "The Spirit", and for his decade-and-a-half run on many DC Comics  war series. He also co-created the DC comic book Prez with Joe Simon. Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's 1962 drawing Jet Pilot is based on a Grandenetti comic-book panel on the cover of DC's All-American Men of War #89 (cover-dated Feb. 1962), and Lichtenstein's 1964 triptych "As I Opened Fire" is based on panels by Grandenetti in "Wingmate of Doom" in issue #90 (April 1962). Biography

Early life and career

Born in the village of Bronxville in the town of Eastchester, New York, a suburb of New York City, <mask>i studied art and architectural drawing at the Cartoonists and Illustrators School (later named the School of Visual Arts), in Manhattan. He did World War II military service in the U.S. Navy "in 1942 or 1943", he recalled, and after the war attended Brooklyn's Pratt Institute on the G.I. Bill.In either 1946 or 1948 (accounts differ), he was making the rounds of comic-book companies and met Everett M. "Busy" Arnold, publisher of Quality Comics. Arnold had no position for him but sent Grandenetti to Will Eisner, writer-artist of the Sunday-newspaper comic-book section starring Eisner's celebrated character the Spirit. Grandenetti hired on as an art assistant. As The Comics Journal editor-publisher Gary Groth wrote, "By the late '40s, Eisner's participation in the strip had dwindled to a largely supervisory role. ... Eisner hired <mask>i and Jim Dixon to occasionally ink his pencils. By 1950, [Jules] Feiffer was writing most of the strips, and Grandenetti, Dixon, and Al Wenzel were drawing them", with

 Grandenetti  penciling as a ghost-artist, under Eisner's byline. "Working for Eisner was exciting", Grandenetti recalled in 2005."Although there was no such thing as teaching or showing you how to develop your craft. ... Before [the feature's] demise he tried everything. Had me penciling 'The Spirit'. Later on it was Wally Wood", who drew it through to its end in 1952, "but nothing could save 'The Spirit'! Sad, too. It was probably the greatest comic strip ever created". In 1949, Eisner, in his sideline as a comics packager, created the feature "Secret Files of Dr. Drew" for Fiction House.Grandenetti said Eisner instructed him to draw it "in the Eisner style. Which I did, badly. Anyway, after a couple of stories I began to do my own thing". The eight-page story "The Strange Case of the Absent Floor" in Rangers Comics #47 (June 1949), which he both penciled and inked, marked Grandenetti's first credited comics art, and he remained on the feature (scripted by Eisner's office manager and future journalist Marilyn Mercer) through #60 (Aug. 1951). Grandenetti also drew "Senorita Rio" stories for the same publisher's Fight Comics. After doing a small amount of work for Lev Gleason Publications' Boy Comics #52 (April 1960), Media's Mister Universe #1 (July 1951), American Comics Group's Adventures into the Unknown #22 (Aug. 1951), and Prize Comics' Black Magic vol. 2, #3 (Feb. 1952), Grandenetti began his 17-year run at DC Comics.DC Comics

At DC, then the leading comic-book company and the home of Batman and Superman, Grandenetti drew some of everything that was not a superhero. Beginning with Western Comics #27 (Sept. 1951), Grandenetti did Western comics (All-Star Western),  crime fiction (Racket Squad in Action, Gang Busters, Mr. District Attorney), science fiction (Strange

 Adventures), and mystery-suspense (House of Mystery), but made his mark as one of DC's signature war comics artists, drawing hundreds of anthological stories and covers in a dozen years' worth of such titles as All-American Men of War, G.I. Combat, Our Army at War, Our Fighting Forces, and Star Spangled War Stories. DC war-comics editor and writer Robert Kanigher recalled that on the feature "Gunner and Sarge" in particular, Grandenetti "managed to get the grime and the humor of the two Marines (and, eventually their wonderful Pooch) fighting in the jungle as no one else could. <mask> liked to experiment and I had to sit on him to get him to stop it. Especially in his covers, which were outstanding, when I forced him to draw as realistically as possible". With Kanigher, Grandenetti co-created the feature "Mlle.Marie", about a World War II French Resistance fighter, in Star Spangled War Stories #84 (Aug. 1959). Grandenetti became known for cover art rendered in wash-tone, also known as grey-tone, which, as comics-art historian Don Mangus describes, "is executed as an ink-wash drawing, and then a halftone Photostat of the cover is made, the logo added, and finally the color is laid in over this statted wash drawing", rendering a painted effect. Later comics career
In late 1965, Grandenetti began freelancing for additional companies, drawing a small number of stories for Charlton Comics and Tower Comics, and penciling a Sub-Mariner story—inked by the character's creator, Golden Age of Comics legend Bill Everett—in Marvel Comics' Tales to Astonish #86 (Dec. 1966). Mostly, however, Grandenetti began turning to Warren Publishing, home of the black-and-white, horror-comics magazines Creepy and Eerie. Grandenetti's work for Warren, writes comics-art historian Don Mangus, "returned to a


texts: much more expressionistic and experimental phase, building on what he had begun at Eisner's studio, or perhaps due to freedom from Kanigher’s restraints. Perhaps it was the subject matter or the fluid nature of the wash medium but whatever the case, he produced brilliant work at Warren in the late 1960s and early 1970s". Warren would later reprint his youthful work for Will Eisner with the magazine series The Spirit.Grandenetti was profiled in Creepy #42, and a self-portrait ran in Vampirella #16. Concurrently, for DC, Grandenetti succeeded Neal Adams on the 1960s run of DC's supernatural spirit of vengeance the Spectre, drawing issues #6–10 (Oct. 1966 – June 1969). Grandenetti also helped revive the 1940s DC character the Phantom Stranger, drawing the lead story in his return appearance in Showcase #80 (Feb. 1969). In Showcase #82 (May 1969), he and writer Dennis O'Neil co-created the minor sword and sorcery character Nightmaster—originally assigned to then-newcomer Bernie Wrightson, who was taken off it after his first seven pages proved disappointing. He contributed to at least one issue of the black-and-white humor magazine Sick (#70, Oct. 1969), edited by his friend Joe Simon, the Golden Age co-creator of Captain America, then collaborated with Simon at DC on issues of Champion Sports. The two then co-created the youth culture oddity Prez, about the first teen president of the United States, and the one-episode Green Team: Boy Millionaires, in 1st Issue Special #2 (May 1975). Grandenetti penciled a parody of the TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker in the Marvel humor comic Arrgh!#4 (July 1975), for which he also drew the cover. Comics historian Mark Evanier, calling Grandenetti "[o]ne of the great individual stylists of comic books in the fifties and sixties," wrote

 that,

Grandenetti continued to freelance occasional stories for DC through at least G.I. Combat #270 (Oct. 1984). Later life
In 1990, Grandenetti became an art director at the large advertising agency Young & Rubicam. Breaking into advertising, he recalled, "wasn't really [tough] because, unlike a lot of comic book illustrators, all of the time I had my eyes set elsewhere. I was developing that ability, while at the same time working for the comic book companies, by doing spot drawings and illustrations for small agencies. By the time I was ready, I had this well developed portfolio so I was able to break in".As of 2005, Grandenetti was freelancing for ad agencies in New York City, and doing fine art paintings in watercolor, acrylics, and mixed media. Grandenetti, who lived in Bellport, New York, on Long Island, died at age 83 at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital in nearby East Patchogue, New York. The official cause of death was cardiopulmonary arrest, though he also had metastatic cancer. Legacy
Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's 1962 drawing Jet Pilot is based on a Grandenetti comic-book panel on the cover of DC's All-American Men of War #89 (Feb. 1962). Lichtenstein's 1964 triptych "As I Opened Fire" is based on panels by Grandenetti in "Wingmate of Doom" in issue #90 (April 1962). References

Lalan, born Xie Jing-lan (Chinese: 謝景蘭; 1921–1995), was a Chinese-French multidisciplinary artist. Lalan was among the early practitioners of integrated arts, incorporating painting, music, dance, and poetry into her performances. <mask> was born in Guizhou, China. She received professional vocal training at the Shanghai Music Academy, and then studied composition and modern dance after relocating to Paris in 1948 with her then husband, painter Zao Wou-ki. Lalan did not start painting until the age of 37. She began her independent artistic career in painting, composing electronic music and choreography in modern dance. In 1975, she received the Chevalier medal for the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters) by the French Ministry of Culture.<mask> spent majority of her time in France with her husband French artist Marcel Van Thienen. She died in a car accident in 1995. Biography
Xie Jinglan, nickname Lan-lan, who later changed her name to <mask>, was born on September 14th 1921 in Guiyang, Guizhou Provence, China. Grew up in a scholarly family under the influence of the New Culture Movement, <mask> received Western education in Hongdao Girls' Middle School, an American missionary school in Hang Zhou. At a young age, <mask> had a gift for music and dance and was able to cultivate her talent thanks to her father Xie Meigen, who was a great flute musician and a scholar. In 1935, LaLan was introduced to Zao Wou-Ki, who was studied at the Hangzhou School of Art. In 1941, they got married in Hong Kong.The following year their son Zhao Jialing was born. At the time, the headmaster of Hangzhou School of art was artist Lin Fengmian, who studied in France before coming back to China to teach. <mask> and Zao Wou-ki were motivated

 by their teachers. In 1948, after 36 days of travelling, <mask> and Zao arrived in France and settled down on Rue du Moulin-Vert District 14 Paris, and became neighbours of the sculptor Alberto Giacometti. <mask> later entered the Conservatoire de Paris and studied composition under Darius Mihaud. Inspired by a documentary about American Modern dancer Martha Graham, she received the Graham Technique training from Karin Waehner at Le Centre American. A dear friend of the couple Henri Michaux introduced Zao and <mask> to the "Father of Electronic Music" French composer Edgard Varèse who introduced Electronic Music to Lalan.To commemorate her mentor, Lalan painted A Edgard Varese in 1985. Through Michaux, Lalan met the violinist Marcel Van Thienen in 1952, who later became her second husband in 1957. In 1956, <mask> and Zao Wou-ki decided to divorce after being together for over twenty years. Without the title of "the artist's wife", Lalan started her independent art career and ventured into the realms of painting, composing and choreography. In her practices, she incorporate the Chinese traditional Taoism philosophy, and the Lyrical Abstraction at the time, finding her unique voice in the Integrated art that she created since the 1970s. Artistic Development

Calligraphic abstraction (1957–1969)
<mask> was introduced to the Art Informel movement after moving to France. As a self-taught painter, she learnt about the language of modern painting through Lyrical Abstraction, started by artists like Georges Mathieu, Pierre Soulages, joined by Zao Wou-ki.The artists shared artistic characteristics such as explosive gestural lines, calligraphic signs and the improvisational way of creating. The training in music and dance enabled Lalan's

 brushstrokes to express a dancer-like quality and musical rhythms. The canvases are larger than life, provided a dance stage for her paintbrush. From 1957 to 1959 she created a series of abstract paintings that were dark and meditative. She had her first solo exhibition in 1960 the Creuze Gallery in Paris. The tranquil landscapes (1970–1983)
Facing a plateau in the mid 1965s, Lalan looked back to her root culture to look for inspiration. She carefully studied the paintings by Song masters such as Ma Yuan and Xia Gui, as well as Taoist philosophy.Different from the early works, the paintings from this period appeared much in tranquil: the color palette became lighter and softer while the rhythmic lines became more refined, depicting natural elements such as mountains, rocks and the moon. The compositions are referencing the Song landscape paintings where the subjects are placed in a corner, leaving the blank space for imagination and harmony. Integrated Art (L'art Synthèse)
In the 1960s and 1970s, Lalan focused on composing music and choreography. The Graham technique of "expressing inner feelings through bodily movement" was inspirational to Lalan. With her paintings as the backdrop, Lalan performed her own choreographed modern dance accompanied by her original electronic musics at the Galerie Jacques Desbrières, and the Galerie Iris Clert. She incorporated painting, music and dance into her Integrated Art, "Spectacle". In 1973, <mask> received an award from the Culture Ministry of France for her parallel research of painting, music and dance.One of her three paneled painting, Sudden Blue (Soudain Bleu) staged for her choreography show "Le Cycle", was in the permanent collection of the Culture Ministry of France.

texts:
 (1984–1995)
In the 1980s, Lalan primary focus was painting . Her artistic style replaced the images of landscapes with abstraction. <mask> was experimenting with new techniques such as painting ultra-fine intuitive lines and dripping to create harmonious yet explosive works. In the late 1980s, <mask> and her husband moved to Bormes-les-Mimosas, southern France, where the beauty of nature became inspirational to the artists. Early in 1995, <mask> produced a film of solo dance titled "Dance of Qigong" (Danse du Qigong), introducing the traditional Chinese culture into modern dance, uniting intuitive dance movements with meditation and breathing exercises. This innovative and introspective dance was the last dance of Lalan.She died in a car accident a week after. Museum collections

He was also an administrator in the British Raj and served twice as Chief Commissioner of Balochistan. <mask> is best known for the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence with Hussein bin Ali, the McMahon Line between Tibet and India, and the Declaration to the Seven in response to a memorandum written by seven notable Syrians. After the Sykes-Picot Agreement was published by the Bolshevik Russian government in November 1917, <mask> resigned. He also features prominently in Seven Pillars of Wisdom, T.E. Lawrence's account of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. <mask> was the son of Lieutenant-General <mask>, FRS, FGS (1830–1904), a geologist and Commissioner of both Lahore and Hisar in Punjab, India, and who, like his father Captain <mask> (born 1791, Kilrea, County Londonderry, Ireland) had been an officer with the East India Company.The Oriel McMahons are the Gaelic clan of Mac Mathghamhna who had come originally from the medieval Irish kingdom of Airgíalla or Oriel in South Ulster/North Leinster, where they reigned from around 1250 until about 1600.

 France where he served with Napoléon's Irish Legion. It is said that he was captured by the British during the Walcheren Campaign of 1809, and though sent to England, was later able to return to France where in June 1815 he eventually died fighting, it is believed, at either Ligny or Waterloo. In 1915 <mask> promised Sharif Hussein bin Ali an independent area under Arab governance that was to include what was then the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem (later Mandatory Palestine), in exchange for Arab support in Britain's conflict against the Ottoman Turks in what came to be known as the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottomans.Their correspondence is known to historians from the <mask> Correspondence. Career

<mask> was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Indian Staff Corps in the 1880s and was appointed a Companion of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in 1894. By 1897, he had been promoted to captain and was appointed a Companion of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India (CSI) in that year. He was promoted Major in the army in July 1901. He was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire (KCIE) in 1906 and promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 1909. In 1911, on the occasion of the Delhi Durbar, he was foreign secretary of the British government in India. The King made him a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO), an award in his own gift.He spoke Persian, Afghani, and Hindustani, an aptitude for languages that led also to Arabic. Sir <mask> was appointed to the post of High Commissioner in Egypt in 1915. When he arrived by train Sir Ronald Storrs described him as "quiet, friendly, agreeable, considerate and cautious", although later in his career Storrs and others were not so charitable. He was made a Knight of Grace

Although a temporary appointment it became a permanent post, for an experienced political administrator. <mask> was appointed British High Commissioner in Cairo, to replace Lord Kitchener who had become War Secretary in London.With the approval of Kitchener and Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey, <mask> began a long correspondence with Sharif Husayn, the Ottoman-appointed ruler of the Hijaz to use the Bedouin tribes under his control to support the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in overthrowing the Ottomans. <mask>  proposed a demarcation line between Tibet and the North-east region of India in 1914 during the Simla Convention held at Viceregal Lodge in Simla which was signed between British and Tibetan representatives. The line is today known as McMahon Line and is currently the effective boundary between China and India, although its legal status is disputed by the Chinese government. Sir Gilbert Clayton, Aubrey Herbert, Storrs and others of the intelligence community approved of <mask>'s pro-Arabist policy from 1916 onwards. <mask> sat on the plan to use the Sharif to support British for six months. But it was Sir Reginald Wingate who persuaded <mask> that the Arabs were ready, able and willing for Cairo to support Husayn in an effort to overthrow the Ottomans and establish a pan-Arab state made up of Ottoman Arab lands in the Middle East. Storrs thought the diplomacy was "in every way exaggerated."He was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (GCMG) in 1916 upon his retirement from the British Indian Army.

texts: <mask>. (August 30, 1893September 10, 1935), nicknamed "the Kingfish", was an American politician who served as the 40th governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a United States Senator from 1932 until his assassination in 1935. He was a populist member of the Democratic Party and rose to national prominence during the Great Depression for his vocal criticism of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, which <mask> deemed insufficiently radical. As the political leader of Louisiana, he commanded wide networks of supporters and often took forceful action. A controversial figure, <mask> is celebrated as a populist champion of the poor or, conversely, denounced as a demagogue. <mask> was born in the impoverished north of Louisiana in 1893. After working as a traveling salesman and briefly attending three colleges, he entered the bar in Louisiana. Following a short private legal career in which he represented poor plaintiffs, <mask> was elected to the Louisiana Public Service Commission.As Commissioner, he prosecuted large corporations such as Standard Oil, a lifelong target of his rhetorical attacks. After <mask> successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, Chief Justice and former president William Howard Taft praised him as "the most brilliant lawyer who ever practiced before the United States Supreme Court". After a failed 1924 campaign, <mask> used the sharp economic and class divisions in Louisiana to win the 1928 gubernatorial election. Once in office, he expanded social programs, organized massive public works projects, such as a modern highway system and the tallest capitol building in the nation, and proposed a cotton holiday. Through political maneuvering, <mask> became the political

 boss of Louisiana. He was impeached in 1929 for abuses of power, but the proceedings collapsed in the State Senate. His opponents argued his policies and methods were unconstitutional and dictatorial.At its climax, political opposition organized a minor insurrection. <mask> was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1930 but did not assume his seat until 1932. He established himself as an isolationist, arguing that Standard Oil and Wall Street orchestrated American foreign policy. He was instrumental in securing Roosevelt's 1932 nomination but split with him in 1933, becoming a prominent critic of his New Deal. As an alternative, he proposed the Share Our Wealth program in 1934. To stimulate the economy, he advocated massive federal spending, a wealth tax, and wealth redistribution. These proposals drew wide support with millions joining local Share Our Wealth clubs.Poised for a 1936 presidential bid, <mask> was mortally wounded by a lone assassin in 1935. Although <mask>'s movement faded, Roosevelt adopted many of his proposals in the Second New Deal, and Louisiana elections would be organized along anti- or pro-<mask> factions until the 1960s. He left behind a political dynasty that included his wife Senator Rose McConnell <mask>, his son Senator Russell B<mask>, and his brother Governor <mask>, among others. Early life (1893–1915)

Childhood
<mask> was born on August 30, 1893, near Winnfield, a small town in north-central Louisiana, the seat of Winn Parish. Although <mask> often told followers he was born in a log cabin to an impoverished family, they lived in a "comfortable" farmhouse and were well-off compared to others in Winnfield. Winn Parish was impoverished, and its residents, mostly Southern Baptists, were

texts: often outsiders in Louisiana's political system.During the Civil War, Winn Parish had been a stronghold of Unionism in an otherwise Confederate state. At Louisiana's 1861 convention on secession, the delegate from Winn voted to remain in the Union saying: "Who wants to fight to keep the Negroes for the wealthy planters?" In the 1890s, the parish was a bastion of the Populist Party, and in the 1912 election, a plurality (35%) voted for the Socialist presidential candidate, Eugene V. Debs. <mask> embraced these populist sentiments. One of nine children, <mask> was home schooled until age eleven. In the public system, he earned a reputation as an excellent student with a remarkable memory and convinced his teachers to let him skip seventh grade. At Winnfield High School, he and his friends formed a secret society, advertising their exclusivity by wearing a red ribbon.According to <mask>, his club's mission was "to run things, laying down certain rules the students would have to follow". The faculty learned of <mask>'s antics and warned him to obey the school's rules. <mask> continued to rebel, writing and distributing a flyer that criticized his teachers and the necessity of a recently state-mandated fourth year of secondary education, for which he was expelled in 1910. Although <mask> successfully petitioned to fire the principal, he never returned to high school. As a student, <mask> proved a capable debater. At a state debate competition in Baton Rouge, he won a full-tuition scholarship to Louisiana State University (LSU). Because the scholarship did not cover textbooks or living expenses, his family could not afford for him to attend.<mask> was also unable to attend because he did not graduate from high school.

 Instead, he entered the workforce as a traveling salesman in the rural South. Education and marriage
In September 1911, <mask> started attending seminary classes at Oklahoma Baptist University at the urging of his mother, a devout Baptist. Living with his brother George, <mask> attended for only one semester, rarely appearing at lectures. After deciding he was unsuited to preaching, <mask> focused on law. Borrowing one hundred dollars from his brother (which he later lost playing roulette in Oklahoma City), he attended the University of Oklahoma College of Law for a semester in 1912. To earn money while studying law part-time, he continued to work as a salesman.Of the four classes <mask> took, he received one incomplete and three C's. He later confessed he learned little because there was "too much excitement, all those gambling houses and everything". <mask> met Rose McConnell at a baking contest he had promoted to sell Cottolene shortening. The two began a two-and-a-half-year courtship and married in April 1913 at the Gayoso Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. On their wedding day, <mask> had no cash with him and had to borrow $10 from his fiancée to pay the officiant. Shortly after their marriage, <mask> revealed to his wife his aspirations to run for a statewide office, the governorship, the Senate, and ultimately the presidency. The <mask>s had a daughter named Rose (1917–2006) and two sons: Russell B.<mask> (1918–2003), who became a U.S. senator, and Palmer Reid <mask> (1921–2010), who became an oilman in Shreveport, Louisiana. <mask> enrolled at Tulane University Law School in New Orleans in the fall of 1914.

In 1915, <mask> established a private practice in Winnfield. He represented poor plaintiffs, usually in workers' compensation cases.<mask> avoided fighting in World War I by obtaining a draft deferment on the grounds that he was married and had a dependent child. He successfully defended from prosecution under the Espionage Act of 1917 the state senator who had loaned him the money to complete his legal studies, and later claimed he did not serve because, "I was not mad at anybody over there." In 1918, <mask> invested $1,050 () in a well that struck oil. The Standard Oil Company refused to accept any of the oil in its pipelines, costing <mask> his investment. This episode served as the catalyst for <mask>'s lifelong hatred of Standard Oil. That same year, <mask> entered the race to serve on the three-seat Louisiana Railroad Commission. According to historian William Ivy Hair, <mask>'s political message:

... would be repeated until the end of his days: he was a young warrior of and for the plain people, battling the evil giants of Wall Street and their corporations; too much of America's wealth was concentrated in too few hands, and this unfairness was perpetuated by an educational system so stacked against the poor that (according to his statistics) only fourteen out of every thousand children obtained a college education.The way to begin rectifying these wrongs was to turn out of office the corrupt local flunkies of big business ... and

Since no candidate garnered a majority of the votes, a run-off election was held, for which <mask> campaigned tirelessly across northern Louisiana. The race was close: <mask> defeated Burk by just 636 votes. Although the returns revealed wide support for <mask> in rural areas, he performed poorly in urban areas. On the Commission, <mask> forced utilities to lower rates, ordered railroads to extend service to small towns, and demanded that Standard Oil cease the importation of Mexican crude oil and use more oil from Louisiana wells. In the gubernatorial election of 1920, <mask> campaigned heavily for John M. Parker; today, he is often credited with helping Parker win northern parishes.After Parker was elected, the two became bitter rivals. Their break was largely caused by <mask>'s demand and Parker's refusal to declare the state's oil pipelines public utilities. <mask> was infuriated when Parker allowed oil companies, led by Standard Oil's legal team, to assist in writing severance tax laws. <mask> denounced Parker as corporate "chattel". The feud climaxed in 1921, when Parker tried unsuccessfully to have <mask> ousted from the commission. By 1922, <mask> had become chairman of the commission, now called the "Public Service Commission". That year, <mask> prosecuted the Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Company for unfair rate increases; he successfully argued the case on appeal before the United States Supreme Court, which resulted in cash refunds to thousands of overcharged customers.After the decision, Chief Justice and former President William Howard Taft praised <mask> as "the

1924 election

On August 30, 1923, <mask> announced his candidacy for the governorship of Louisiana. <mask> stumped throughout the state, personally distributing circulars and posters. He denounced Governor Parker as a corporate stooge, vilified Standard Oil, and assailed local political bosses. He campaigned in rural areas disenfranchised by the state's political establishment, the "Old Regulars". Since the 1877 end of Republican-controlled Reconstruction government, they had controlled most of the state through alliances with local officials. With negligible support for Republicans, Louisiana was essentially a one party state under the Democratic Old Regulars.Holding mock elections in which they invoked the Lost Cause of the Confederacy, the Old Regulars presided over a corrupt government that largely benefited the planter class. Consequently, Louisiana was one of the least developed states: It had just 300 miles of paved roads and the lowest literacy rate. Despite an enthusiastic campaign, <mask> came third in the primary and was eliminated. Although polls projected only a few thousand votes, he attracted almost 72,000, around 31% of the electorate, and carried 28 parishes—more than either opponent. Limited to sectional appeal, he performed best in the poor rural north. The Ku Klux Klan's prominence in Louisiana was the campaign's primary issue. While the two other candidates either strongly opposed or supported the Klan, <mask> remained neutral, alienating both sides.He also failed to attract Roman Catholic voters, which limited his chances in the south of the state. In majority Catholic New Orleans, he polled
