Trained as a pharmacist and chemist, he applied his knowledge of science to vocabulary and linguistics, for which he had a passion. As a lexicographer, one of his notable achievements was the inclusion of over 50 Puerto Rican words in the nineteenth edition of the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language in 1970. <mask> was born on 28 November 1899, in Ponce, Puerto Rico. He studied in elementary school in Arroyo and high school in Guayama. He attended Temple University Preparatory School in Philadelphia, where he earned a degree in Pharmacy and Chemistry in 1925. He returned to Puerto Rico and became president of the Association of Chemists and the Puerto Rico Pharmacy Examining Board, director of the Revista Farmacéutica journal and co-editor of the Boletín del Colegio de Químicos.From 1943 through 1963, he worked for the federal government as a chemist in the Federal Laboratory of the Internal Revenue Service's Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Taxation, and then retired.

 foreign authors such as Azorín, Maeterlinck, Juan Ramón Jiménez and Pirandello. His first book was printed in 1936 and was titled "Críticas Profanas".It included articles on many of these authors. In the genre of the short story, Lloréns wrote the tales that make up the anthology "Cazador de imposibles (unpublished)", which includes "Montaña en flor". He had two other anthologies: "Catorce pecados de humor y una vida descabellada" (1959) and "La rebelión de los átomos" (1960). In all these three anthologies, Lloréns reveals "the desire to collect, with a realistic vision, the environmental essence and the people who characterize Puerto Rican life, both in the urban centers of the small towns and in the rural interior of the island.

He also wrote essays which addressed linguistic studies.For example, he prepared the unpublished "Antología de barbarismos en Puerto Rico", which collected the grammatical and lexical errors that had filtered into the spoken language and into literary use in Puerto Rican Spanish. In 1955, he became a member of the Academia Puertorriqueña de la Lengua Española (English: Puerto Rican Academy of the Spanish Language) after presenting the lecture "Los dedos de la mano: novela de Enrique Laguerre o la vitalidad del español en Puerto Rico", when he was named a member of the organization. As a member of the Academy, he represented Puerto Rico at the 1956 Congress of Academies of Language held in Madrid and participated in other congresses as well. In 1956, he became secretary of the Lexicographical Committee of the Academy, as well as editorial writer for the

 magazine "Alma Latina" in San Juan. Literary criticism, linguistics and lexicography
Among Lloréns's works on literary criticism, linguistics and lexicographical studies are "Un intruso en el jardín de Academo" (1957), "El español de Puerto Rico y la decimoctava edición del Diccionario de la Real Academia Española" (1957) and "Comentarios a refranes, modismos, locuciones de 'Conversao en el batey' de Ernesto Juan Fonfrías" (1962). In these essays, Lloréns was critical and unyielding toward the transgressions of Puerto Ricans in the spoken vernacular, which, according to him, were the result of the imposition of English by the United States authorities as the official language of instruction. Among the lectures Lloréns presented are "Los grandes amores del poeta Luis Lloréns Torres" (1959), "El humorismo, el epigrama y la sátira en la literatura puertorriqueña" (1960), "Hamlet visto por Hostos y Goethe" (1962), "Tres temas sobre Hostos" (1962), "Dos mujeres del Quijote" (1964), "Anatomía de un gramaticastro" (1967), "El habla popular de Puerto Rico" (1968), "Augusto Malaret: crítica a la crítica" (1972) and "La magia de la palabra" (1981).He contributed to periodicals in Puerto Rico and beyond, such as El Imparcial, El Mundo, El Día, La Milagrosa, la Revista del Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, Rumbos (Barcelona, Spain), ABC de España (Spain), Boletín de la Academia de Artes y Ciencias de Puerto Rico and "Prensa", of which he was a member of the editorial board and later (in 1963) became its manager, at a time when it was known as "Prensa Literaria: the official organ of the Puerto Rican Society of Journalists and Writers". For El Nuevo Día, he wrote a column called "Academo". He was also an advisor to the Revista de la Universidad Interamericana. <mask>s

<mask> (born 23 December 1952) is a Danish composer born in Kongens Lyngby near Copenhagen. His  Let me tell you (2013), a song cycle for soprano and orchestra, was ranked by music critics at The Guardian as the finest work of the 21st-century. His opera The Snow Queen was commissioned and premiered by the Royal Danish Theatre in 2019. Biography

Early life
His interest in composition and piano began after hearing his father playing piano. His first attempts at "little melodies" were designed to be played with the only two fingers on his right hand that were capable of playing the instrument. After realizing that he would not be able to progress, he shifted his focus to the French horn. From 1969 to 1971, he studied horn, music theory, and music history at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.While at the conservatory, his music was inspired by his mentors Per Nørgård and Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen. In the 1980s, he continued his studies attending seminars with György Ligeti. Early career
<mask> is considered to have been part of a trend called the "New Simplicity", which arose in the mid-1960s as a reaction against the complexity and perceived aridity of the Central European avant-garde. <mask>’s first works conformed to the tenets of this movement, particularly the circle around the Darmstadt School. For <mask>, this meant adopting an almost naive simplicity of expression, as in his orchestral piece Skum ("Foam", 1970). Around this time, he was also involved with a group called the Gruppen for Alternativ Musik, which was designed to allow musicians to "perform new music in alternative forms," and "to develop

 socially and politically committed music." These ideals can be seen in his Symphony in C which was originally titled Anti-EEC Sats (Anti-EEC Movement).The title was changed "after the composer came to the realization that ' music cannot be against.'" His style soon altered and developed into a personal dialogue with Romanticism which can be seen in his orchestral work Nacht und Trompeten. In 1982, he found early success when this piece was performed by the Berlin Philharmonic. The conductor of that performance, notable composer <mask> Henze, soon became a champion of <mask>'s music. Hiatus
From 1990 to 1998, <mask> completed only one work, a short song. According to the composer, “[he] couldn't find the way to make what [he] wanted.” The prevailing attitudes about complexity in music caused him to be "paralyzed by the white paper." Coming out of his hiatus, he began working on new arrangements of Johann Sebastian Bach.The orchestrations of these arrangements included many nods to minimalist composers foreshadowing aesthetic changes in <mask>'s music. Return to music
After his return to composition, his music was radically changed. It combined his early artistic attitudes with newer artistic goals with a modernist stringency and economy into a larger individual musical universe. Notable works since his return to composition include a piano concerto written for his wife Anne-Marie Abildskov, and the extended chamber work Schnee ("Snow"), where the paring-down of material appears to reach a new extreme. Schnee has also received attention for its construction from both arch-shaped and straight-line processes that unfold over the

 work's duration and for innovative details such as its inline, composed retuning intervals. <mask>'s let me tell you, a song cycle for soprano and orchestra based on the novella of the same name by Paul Griffiths, was premiered on 20 December 2013 by the Berlin Philharmonic, with soprano soloist Barbara Hannigan (to whom the work is dedicated), conducted by Andris Nelsons. Franz Welser-Möst led the Cleveland Orchestra in the U.S. premiere in January 2016.<mask> won the $100,000 2016 Grawemeyer Award for this work. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra gave the British premiere of the song cycle in 2014. The same year CBSO co-commissioned from <mask> a concerto for piano left hand. Left, Alone received its world premiere in Cologne in January 2016, performed by pianist Alexandre Tharaud, for whom the concerto was composed. Four months later, Tharaud gave the British premiere for the CBSO, conducted by Ilan Volkov. <mask> has written that being "born with a right hand that is not fully functional" has given him "a close relationship with the works written for the left hand by Ravel and others." His first opera Snedronningen (The Snow Queen) is a free adaptation of the fairy tale by <mask> Andersen.It was premiered at the Danish Opera House on 13 October 2019 and received its first performance in English (by Bayerische Staatsoper) at the National Theater in Munich on 21 December 2019.

<mask> (25 August 1955 – 21 June 2010) was an English musician and comedian known for fronting the band The Freshies in the late 1970s and early 1980s and for his comic persona Frank Sidebottom from 1984 onwards. Sievey, under the guise of Sidebottom, made regular appearances on North West television throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, even becoming a reporter for Granada Reports. Later, he presented Frank Sidebottom's Proper Telly Show in B/W for the Manchester-based television station Channel M. Throughout his career, Sidebottom made appearances on radio stations such as Manchester's Piccadilly Radio and on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 5, alongside Mark and Lard. Biography

Early life and career (1955–1976)
<mask> grew up in Ashton-on-Mersey, Sale, Cheshire (2.5 miles from Timperley). In 1969, when he was 14, Sievey began writing and recording his own music, and by the age of 15 was playing in local bands. In 1971 he hitch-hiked to London with his brother, staging a sit-in at the Apple Records HQ, demanding to see one of The Beatles. When they were asked to leave they insisted on recording something, and were booked into the studio after playing a song to head of A&R Tony King.Sievey subsequently recorded several demos, which he sent to record companies, receiving many rejection letters which he later compiled into a book. Unable to get a deal, he set up his own Razz label in 1974. Sievey released two cassettes under his own name in 1975 and 1976 – Girl in My Blue Jeans and All Sleeps Secrets. The Freshies (1977–1982)
In 1977 Sievey formed The Freshies, with various other musicians involved including Martin Jackson, Billy Duffy and former

texts: Nosebleeds bassist Rick Sarko. A string of singles and several cassettes were released between 1978 and 1983. Most of these were credited to The Freshies, but were occasionally listed as <mask> & The Freshies. In 1981, Sievey played on "Some Boys" by Going Red?, the band formed by former Jilted John star Graham Fellows.The Freshies biggest UK hit was "I'm in Love with the Girl on the Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk", released initially on his own Razz label (RAZZ 10), it was reissued by the US giant MCA Records with a slightly different title ("I'm in Love with the Girl on a Certain Manchester Megastore Checkout Desk") as there were objections about using the Virgin brand name. The record peaked at No 54. They had regional success in the Manchester area with "My Tape's Gone", "No Money" / "Oh Girl" and "Yellow Spot". Radio 1, and in particular Mike Read gave The Freshies a lot of airplay, especially the MCA release. After the "success" of "I'm in Love with the Girl on the Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk", the group released further singles, "Wrap Up the Rockets" and "I Can't Get Bouncing Babies by the Teardrop Explodes", and although commercially successful in the Manchester area, they failed to make the national charts. They released 2 further cassettes, "Manchester Plays The Freshies" and "London Plays The Freshies", these were both essentially radio interviews with local and national DJs and concert recordings from each city. <mask> had written his first LP by this stage, "The Johnny Radar Story", which, for various legal and contractual complications, was never released on vinyl.There are master copies on cassette in

 circulation though (albeit, very few). In February of 1982 <mask> abandoned quartet lineup of The Freshies, and reformed it as a duo with Barbara O'Donovan. The duo version of The Freshies released one single, Fasten Your Seat Belts'. In 1982 he released the mini-album Denigration Now, his first work outside of The Freshies since 1976's All Sleeps Secrets. The following year he released a solo EP, Camouflage, with the A-side a song, and the B-Side being computer programming. Frank Sidebottom (1984–1994)
The Frank Sidebottom character first appeared on an untitled 1984 EP by <mask> & The Freshies, in a spoken word track wherein Frank talks to <mask>. The character was instantly recognizable by his large spheroidal head, styled like an early Max Fleischer cartoon.This was initially made from papier-mâché, but later of fibreglass. In the documentary Being Frank, <mask> (<mask>'s brother) states this was made using plaster of Paris. Frank, usually dressed in a 1950s-style sharp suit, was portrayed as an aspiring pop star from the small village of Timperley, near Altrincham. His character was cheerfully optimistic, enthusiastic, and seemingly oblivious to his own failings. Although supposedly 35 years old (the age always attributed to Frank irrespective of the passage of time), he still lived at home with his mother, to whom he made frequent references. His mother was apparently unaware of her son's popularity. Frank sometimes had a sidekick in the form of "Little Frank", a hand puppet who was otherwise a perfect copy of Frank.Comedy character Mrs Merton started out as Frank's sidekick on his radio show Radio Timperley, and the similarity of the

Sidebottom's former Oh Blimey Big Band members include Mark Radcliffe and Jon Ronson, and his driver was <mask>. Immediately after creating the character, Sievey would record an in-character cover 'Material Boy', and send it to several major labels with the note ''I'm thinking of getting into showbiz. Do you have any pamphlets?" EMI were interested and offered him an interview. <mask> appeared in character as Frank, and was signed to their sub-label Regal Zonophone. Zonophone released his third EP 'Frank's Sidebottom's Firm Favorites' in August of 1985.He'd previously self released two EPs as Frank in 1985, titled 'Frank's Summer Special' as well as an early version of 'Firm Favorites'. The EP reached 97 in the UK Charts on 31 August 1985 before dropping completely. In order to promote the EP, he made an appearance on the TV programme TX' the first of many appearances on the ITV network. His second Zonophone EP, 'Oh Blimey, It's Christmas charted slightly higher than the first, at number 87, before dropping off again. It was likely the failure of his third Zonophone EP, Sci-Fi, that caused him to be dropped by the label. Afterwards he was signed to Marc Riley's In Tape label, on which he would release two albums and four EPs. Despite the minimal chart success from these EPs, Frank had developed a cult following that allowed him to attract audiences upwards of 500 in Northern England and London.This act of extensively touring the country would develop Frank's status. Performances were often varied from straightforward stand-up comedy

Contrasting with the alternative comedians of the time, Frank Sidebottom's comedy was family-friendly, if a little bizarre for some. This family friendly nature lead to Frank getting his own comic strip in the children's weekly comic Oink!, which launched 1986. His backing band, dubbed '''The Oh Blimey Band' consisted of Mike Doherty on drums, Rick Sarko on guitar (both formerly of The Freshies), Patrick Gallagher on bass, and later, Jon Ronson on keyboards. At the same time as touring, Frank would become a semi-regular cast member on the two final seasons of the ITV children's programme No.73, eventually being grandfathered into its spin off 7T3. In 1987 Frank released his first album, a spoken word cassette called 'Fantastic Tales', released through his own 11:37 label. His first musical album, entitled 5:9:88', was released on vinyl by In Tape a year later. This album introduced the character Mrs Merton, portrayed by Caroline Aherne. Aherne continued to use the character as a comic persona, leading to her own TV Show, launching the comedians TV career. <mask> and the band, whilst disgruntled by the success of a character created for Frank now detached from Frank, did not resent it, with drummer Mike Doherty saying that while she had taken the characters name, she had crafted her own thing out of it. Frank was perhaps most popular in the North West of England, where his success was caught up in that of the Madchester scene, and for a time was a regular on regional ITV station Granada, even featuring as a reporter on its regional news


texts: programme, Granada Reports.Along his frequent television appearances, the Frank Sidebottom character also made appearances on radio, on stations such as Manchester's Piccadilly Radio and on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 5 BBC Radio 5, alongside Mark and Lard. Jon Ronson first played with Frank's Oh Blimey Band in 1987, when their original keyboardist (Mark Radcliffe (radio broadcaster)) was unable to make it to a gig at The Cricketers pub at Kennington Oval, London SE11. Ronson was social secretary at the Polytechnic of Central London and knew Mike Doherty as an agent. During the band introductions at the end of the show, Ronson noted a negative reaction to his presence, but found that his microphone had been almost completely muted, leaving him completely unheard by the audience. Despite this, one year later, he was offered a full time place in the band, which he accepted. This same year Frank was included on the charity album Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father, which featured other acts like Michelle Shocked, The Christians, Sonic Youth, Billy Bragg, Hue and Cry, The Fall and Wet Wet Wet.He later recorded "Flying" for another Beatles tribute album, Revolution No. 9. In 1989 <mask> re-arranged the Oh Blimey Band, introducing Richard Jones from the recently broken up local band The Desert Wolves on bass guitar, along with a new guitarist and saxophonist. <mask> wanted to give the band a more professional sound, and booked a 30 date tour, the longest the band had ever undertook. This new lineup was a source of tension between the members, with Richard Jones and Jon Ronson taking a near instant disliking for each other. The tour and its new sound were panned by

 audience members and critics alike, leading to Sievey abandoning the new line-up in 1990, instead choosing to perform solo from then on. After this, Frank began to make semi-regular guest appearances on the final season of ITV programme and No.73 successor, Motormouth, as well as numerous appearances on Channel 4, including the British version of the game show Remote Control which was presented by Tony Wilson, where each week he would pose "Frank's Fantastic Question" to the contestants. The popularity of these appearances lead to him getting his own show on the network, Frank Sidebottom's Fantastic Shed Show, which lasted one season in 1992. Afterwards he migrated to What's Up Doc?, where Sievey would not only portray Sidebottom, but also create the recurring segment Life with the Amoebas. After the first two seasons Sievey left the show. Retirement of Frank, stop motion work, & failed solo ventures (1995–2004)
As the 1990s reached their midpoint, the Frank character began to make fewer and fewer public appearances, before seemingly being retired. During this time, Sievey began working on a solo album entitled Life in 74 Minutes, before abandoning it. In 2000 he began working in stop motion animation and became a regular crew member on Seasons 4 - 6 of Bob the Builder, as well as a writer on the fourth season of Pingu.In 2003 <mask> began working on a new album, entitled Scilly Automatic. One track from this, "Lazy Rising More Slowly, Where R.U, Oh 'Chele'" was released on the 2019 outtakes and rarities compilation Being Frank. Frank's comeback (2005–2010)
Frank had faded into obscurity in the late 1990s, rarely appearing either on TV or making

In 2006, Frank reappeared in Greater Manchester on local television channel Channel M. His new show, Frank Sidebottom's Proper Telly Show in B/W, featured celebrity guests and animation. The first showing of each show was in black and white ("so you don't have to turn the colour down"), whilst subsequent repeats were shown in full colour.

On the Led Zeppelin bootleg "Bonzo's Last Stand", the back of the album has text which states, "Produced by Frank Sidebottom."

<mask> (January 11, 1820 – September 30, 1873) was a Virginia lawyer and Democratic politician, who served one term in Virginia House of Delegates before the Virginia Secession Convention of 1861, during which he was a Unionist. During the American Civil War, <mask> believed his primary loyalty was to his state, and served as one of Virginia's representatives to the First and Second Confederate Congresses. He became one of the leading critics of President Jefferson Davis, who was seen by many as usurping the Confederacy's states' rights principles. During Congressional Reconstruction, <mask> became Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates. Early and family life
<mask> was born on January 11, 1820 at Spring Farm near Staunton, Virginia to Virginia delegate and future Court of Appeals judge <mask> and his wife <mask>. He had three sisters--<mask> (1815-1885), <mask> (1817-1880) and Margaret E<mask> (1823-1844), as well as a brother, <mask>. (1828-1898). J.B<mask> graduated from Staunton Academy and then the University of Virginia in 1838.He was a member of the college's Board of Visitors from 1856–64. He married Susan Madison Peyton, daughter of lawyer <mask> Peyton, on July 4, 1852, and after her death married Ann Lewis. Career
<mask> read law under his father (who was elected to the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in 1842), then joined the law practice of his brother-in-law Alexander H. H. Stuart, although <mask> ultimately established his own solo practice after becoming politically active. Prewar politics
At age 24, he substituted for his Whig law partner Alexander H.H. Stuart during a debate before the 1844 election. During the next election, local Augusta County voters elected <mask> to the Virginia House of Delegates (a part time position), and he served from 1845-1846, but was defeated by Whig Hugh W. Sheffey after one term, and resumed his law practice  full time (although remaining politically active). In 1859, <mask> narrowly missed election to the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, William J. Robertson of Charlottesville being elected instead by the legislators.During the Presidential Election of 1860, <mask>

 canvassed for <mask>, the Constitutional Unionist candidate, who won in Virginia but drew far fewer electoral college votes than either Republican Abraham Lincoln or Democrat Stephen A. Douglas. Augusta County voters elected <mask>, his brother in law, law partner and fellow Unionist Alexander H.H. Stuart and Unionist Democrat George Baylor to the Virginia Secession Convention, which began on February 13, 1861. On March 21, <mask> began a pro-Union speech which lasted three days. On April 4, 1861, <mask> represented the Convention's Unionist leadership at a secret one-hour interview with President Abraham Lincoln at the White House. He went to Washington hopeful that an agreement might be reached that would preserve the peace and hold Virginia in the Union. However, he returned to Richmond empty-handed, after finding that he and Lincoln had talked past each other.President Lincoln also separately met with another Unionist, <mask> Botts, who later blamed <mask> for failing to publicize Lincoln's peace offer. The Unionists had temporarily managed to avoid secession while <mask> met with Lincoln, but their majority collapsed shortly after his return to Richmond. Confederate service
When the Convention decided upon secession, <mask>'s loyalty remained with his home state. He initially served as a militia colonel and inspector general of Virginia State Troops, accepting a commission on April 23, 1861. Initially a colonel of the 52nd Virginia Infantry, <mask> resigned on May 1, 1862 because of ill health, becoming instead colonel of the Augusta Reserves regiment. By year's end, <mask> was elected as a representative from Augusta County, to the First Confederate Congress. He was later elected to the Second Confederate Congress (defeating incumbent Governor <mask>) and served until the conclusion of the Civil War.He became one of Confederate President Jefferson Davis's most vocal critics. Postwar
Following the war, <mask> returned home and resumed his legal practice. After giving his loyalty oath to the federal government, he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates under the post-war military provost in 1865-1867. On

After Virginia's readmission to the Union, <mask> continued representing Augusta County in the General Assembly. Fellow delegates chose him as their Speaker, and he served as such from 1865-1869. In this capacity, he drafted the procedural rules still in use in Virginia, known as "Baldwin's Rules."When the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868 proposed to restrict former Confederates from holding further offices, which went beyond the terms of surrender at Appomattox Court House and caused considerable controversy within the Commonwealth, <mask> joined with his brother-in-law Alexander H. H. Stuart and the Committee of Nine and met with General Ulysses S. Grant. Newly elected President Grant also met with provisional governor Henry H. Wells and businessmen Gilbert C. Walker and Franklin Stearns, then gave General (Secretary of War) <mask>. Schofield (and his successor General Canby) orders to allow separate votes on those two controversial provisions (each of which lost) and the new state Constitution without them (that passed overwhelmingly). Death and legacy
<mask> died on September 30, 1873 after a brief illness, survived by wife Susan, his sisters Frances Cornelia <mask> and Mary Eleanor <mask>, and brother Briscoe <mask>. Staunton's businesses closed on the day of his funeral and all the city's church bells tolled (although not a member of any church, <mask> considered himself Christian).

<mask>  (October 16, 1877 – March 23, 1943) was the first Canadian-born president of the Canadian Pacific Railway (1918–1943). He was responsible for building the Royal York Hotel and RMS Empress of Britain, and later helped establish Canadian Pacific Air Lines. During World War II, he co-ordinated Canadian shipping and rail transport before ill health forced him to retire. He was Chancellor of Queen's University (1919–1923) and chancellor of McGill University (1920–1943). A lifelong philanthropist, on his death he left half of his estate to charity. He left his home in Montreal's Golden Square Mile to McGill, and it is today known as Chancellor Beatty Hall. Early life

Born at Thorold, Ontario, he was the son of <mask> (1834–1913) and Harriet Minerva Powell (1844–1916).<mask>'s grandfather emigrated to Thorold from Ireland with his brother (a trained Land surveyor) in 1835, purchasing land on which they built a Grist mill, leather tannery and sawmill. By 1863, the <mask>s had purchased the Parry Sound estate to add to the timber supplies needed for their enterprises at Thorold. In order to ship the timber between their two properties they established the Georgian Bay Transit Company, which <mask> took control of in 1865, and transformed it into the Beatty Line of Steamships which later expanded to operate on the Great Lakes. <mask> was described as "a man of unusual executive ability and vision", qualities that his son, <mask>, inherited in no small dose. <mask> was educated at Upper Canada College and the University of Toronto, earning his law degree from the Osgoode Hall Law School in 1898. For the next three years he articled with the Toronto law firm of McCarthy, Osler, Hoskin & Creelman. Canadian Pacific Railway, Steamships & Air Lines

 Railway for transportation across the Great Lakes and his vessels became the nucleus of the CPR's trans-Atlantic steam line, Canadian Pacific Steamships.<mask> remained as marine advisor to the CPR after his retirement in 1892, and it was through this connection that <mask> came to the attention of the CPR and was appointed as their general counsel in 1901. On the retirement of the CPR's Lord Shaughnessy in 1918, <mask> was chosen to be his successor as president and executive chief of the world's greatest transportation system, just before his 41st birthday. <mask>'s lifetime ambition had been to become a judge, and he at first refused the significant promotion. He was the first Canadian-born president of the CPR, a position he held until his death in 1943, and assumed the monumental task of managing the destiny of the great railway and steamship line. Lord Mount Stephen was seen as the organizer of the CPR; Sir William Van Horne as the builder; Lord Shaughnessy as the expander, and Sir <mask> as the modernizer. During his term as president, Beatty was involved in building the Royal York Hotel, the RMS Empress of Britain II and Canadian Pacific Airlines. <mask> saw the CPR through peak periods as well as the depression.In the boom years the CPR spent many millions in improving its enormous and diverse property holdings. <mask> was always a believer in the great future of the Canadian West, and he was an inspiration to young Canada. Contributions to education in Canada

He was best known as chancellor of McGill University, a position he held from 1921 until his death. In 1919, <mask> had been elected chancellor of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, retiring in 1923. He was elected a member of the Corporation of Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec. From 1927 he served as a governor of Lower Canada

In Canada they included: McGill University, University of Toronto, Bishop's University, McMaster University, University of Western Ontario, University of New Brunswick, Queen's University, and University of Alberta. Contributions to sports in Canada
Amateur Athletic Union of Canada president Jack Hamilton appointed Beatty chairman of the committee to oversee preparations for the Canadian delegation to the 1938 British Empire Games. World War II

On the outbreak of World War II, Beatty had the CPR "fighting fit" and he placed its full resources at the disposal of the country and the British Empire, and it delivered. From 1939 until the end of 1941, Beatty was Canadian representative for the Ministry of War Transport of the United Kingdom, charged with getting supplies to the battle zones.Later, under his direction, Canadian Pacific Air Services was organized to initiate the transatlantic ferrying of Bombers to Great Britain, a service taken over later by the Royal Air Force, first under Ferry Command, and then under Transport Command. Death
He died on March 23, 1943, in Montreal, Quebec. Honours

In 1930, <mask> and his great friend and Chief Counsel to the CPR, F.E. Meredith, were received at the White House as guests of President Herbert Hoover. In 1937, the Royal Canadian Navy honoured him with the first honorary rank it ever created, a commission as honorary captain, Montreal division of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve.Two years previously, Lord Baden-Powell presented him with the Order of the Silver Wolf, the highest honorary award possible on behalf of the Boy Scouts Association of Canada, for which he had served as president. His interest in youth training had a practical application in the constant support he gave to movements concerned with the reclamation of wayward boys, particularly the Shawbridge Boys' Farm, for which he also served as president. In 1943 the "Distinguished Civic Service Award" for 1942 in Montreal was presented posthumously to him by the City Improvement League of Montreal, one of the many projects for city betterment to which Beatty gave so generously and turned his talents towards.

<mask> (June 28, 1932 – July 22, 2002) was an American painter and muralist best known for his saturated natural and urban southern California landscapes. Los Angeles artist and writer Doug Harvey notes that his paintings allow us "to see the places we overlook every day and to recognize that, in spite of its ominous industrial overtones, the city is shot through with a luminous, electric vitality and a psychological potency verging on the mythic." Described as a "master of color and composition," his "evocative, moody paintings teemed with life." Early life and education

<mask> was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and moved with his parents and brother to the suburbs of Philadelphia when the artist was seven. The New England landscapes he encountered summering in Vermont would later prove influential in his work. During his primary school years, as the U.S. engaged in World War II, he became fixated with images of military hardware and battle scenes. As young as ten years old, the artist "worked through foreshortening issues" [with wing positions in aerial dogfight drawings] and "mastered the principles of perspective."Complex perspective would become a dominant motif throughout his career. His father, a successful insurance salesman, wanted his son to follow him in a business career, but in 1950, Doolin applied to the University of Vermont with the intention of pursuing a liberal arts education. However, a teacher encouraged him to apply to Philadelphia's University of the Arts and he was awarded a full scholarship. The University of the Arts "provided him with a strong foundation and a new attitude about the value of art" and he credited the school with fostering his individual style. Travel and influences

 Mountains in his late teens opened the artist to new possibilities and experiences, and sparked three successive summers of hitchhiking excursions to Chicago and California, respectively. The latter two trips enabled him to assimilate both the natural beauty of Yosemite and the colorful and sometimes gritty cityscapes of San Francisco. In 1954, stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army, Doolin enjoyed his first taste of Europe.This included visits to Munich's Haus der Kunst and Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Discharged from the army in 1957, <mask> moved to New York and worked as a freelance commercial artist in advertising for the next four years, creating art in his limited spare time. Despite the cultural stimulation New York offered, <mask> was unsatisfied professionally and artistically, and took on extra work to save money for an extended trip to Europe in 1961. <mask> subsequently embarked on what might best be described as a cultural pilgrimage to some of the major art and historical centers of Europe. The artist was particularly influenced by works of Dutch and Italian Renaissance masters and contemporary abstract artists. Re-energized, <mask> settled into a rented a house on the island of Rhodes and painted, inspired by the mosaics he had viewed throughout southern Europe, and most notably, Ravenna, Italy. His work during this period featured jewel-like patterns and bright colors.The "frontal structure" and "flattened space" of these smaller paintings would become enduring influences in his later work. While in Greece, Doolin met and later married Leslie Edwards, a young Australian woman. The artist, returning to New York stimulated by his marriage and extended stay in Europe, was now "fiercely determined to be a painter." Artificial landscapes

texts: commercial artist, painting in his spare time. Inspired by Al Held and other Hard-Edge painters, he began working on a series of "geometric abstract paintings that would become known as Artificial Landscapes." These landscapes dealt with man-made as opposed to natural environments, and "related directly to the streetscapes of his [Greenwich Village] neighborhood - road signs, building walls, darkened doorways, and billboards from the semi-industrial area close to the docks." These works were "often divided horizontally and compartmentalized into blocks of geometric patterns to reflect the flat, bold forms within the urban landscape."The artist achieved a greater sense of artificiality using "harsh, inorganic colors absent from nature." In 1965, at the suggestion of his wife, the couple and their two sons moved to her native Melbourne, where the artist took a teaching position and where in 1966, at Gallery A, he secured his first solo exhibition. The critical response was largely unfavorable. <mask> fared much better in Sydney, a city at that time more receptive to the New York-inspired aesthetic of the period, with a well-received exhibition of his Artificial Landscapes at Central Street Gallery in 1967. Wanting to further his education in order to secure a better teaching position in the future, the <mask> family moved to Los Angeles shortly after his Sydney show, and <mask> soon enrolled in the MFA program at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1968, he was asked to participate in The Field, the inaugural exhibition for the reopening of the National Gallery of Victoria. He sent three new paintings which were highly praised by several critics, and subsequently acquired by Australia's three principle art museums.In 1969, he began painting a new series of "luminous and ethereal" Artificial

 Landscapes with a "minimalist aesthetic" known as the Arch Series. Central Street Gallery contacted <mask> in 1970 to mount a second show, and he sent nine of his new Artificial Landscapes. This show was an unqualified critical and financial success. Western landscapes

In Los Angeles, <mask>'s work became more representational, following his desire to create "more 'traditional' illusionistic paintings from direct observation." The artist spent much of his two years at UCLA "painting illusionistically -- observed reality, dreams, fantasies, and memories." The following year, he became an instructor at the university while furthering his exploration of illusionistic painting. Photorealism and Conceptual Art had emerged to become two of the dominant styles during this period, and both of these movements influenced the artist's epic work Shopping Mall.<mask> spent four years (1973–77) working on this piece, "a large-scale, detailed aerial view of the intersection of Arizona Avenue and Third Street in Santa Monica -- which established his reputation as an important contemporary interpreter of the Western landscape." The artist "spent the first two years sketching and photographing the site from every possible rooftop vantage point, then constructed a highly detailed diagonal composition of a busy intersection." The painting was the principle work of a solo exhibition at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park in 1977, garnering enthusiastic reviews. The piece was then sent on a national tour of Australia in 1978, with stops in seven cities. In 1980, on the heels of this latest success and the dissolution of his marriage, <mask> was awarded a three-year Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, which allowed the artist to relocate to a remote stretch of the Mojave Desert to paint. "The austere beauty

 of the desert had fascinated him since his hitchhiking trips west in the 1950s" and he found inspiration for his art during this period by drawing on the unique elements of the desert landscape. He returned to the urban environment of Los Angeles in 1983, and by the 1990s he had begun documenting the city, painting many of his best known works.In his signature rendering of "negative social spaces -- bus stops, empty billboards, the dry trough of the L.A. River, the concrete islands between freeway onramps," the artist achieved an unlikely marriage between the "lurid sublimity of California landscape tradition" and "postindustrial apocalyptic melancholy.". Collections, awards and reputation

Doolin's art work is included in many public and corporate collections and is also represented in numerous books on America." He was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and three National Endowment for the Arts grants in 1981, 1986, and 1992. Throughout his career, Doolin struggled against "the L.A. art establishment's prejudice against pictorialism and regionalism," but he eventually earned the respect of critics, collectors and fellow artists. Australian writer Peter Carey noted that Doolin was a "risk-taker, [whose] choice of subject matter was often unfashionable." Upon Doolin's death, artist Carl Cheng described him as a West Coast Edward Hopper, capturing "both the beauty and the alienation of our time in Los Angeles." After his masterful, incandescent painting Psychic headlined the traveling exhibition "Representing L.A.," (2000–2002) and the San Jose Museum of Art held a retrospective of his work in 2001, his reputation as a major Los Angeles artist solidified.References

<mask> ARIBA (24 February 1914 – 16 March 2005) was a British architect and planner who lived and worked in Sweden for most of his life. Upbringing and influences

<mask> was born in London in 1914, and spent his childhood in Mill Hill in Barnet. His parents were socialists, adherents of the Fabian Society, which promoted the idea of the evolution of Britain into a socialist state. His Scottish grandfather was a Presbyterian free church minister, a descendant of the ministers <mask> and <mask>, but his parents sent him to the Friends School Saffron Walden (1925–1931), a Quaker school, probably because of their socialist beliefs. There, he became committed to the Quaker ideals, which laid the foundation for his views on society, man's place in it, and on architecture. Education
During the 1930s, <mask> studied architecture for five years at the Regent Street Polytechnic, London under the direction of Thornton White. At the time, White's curriculum required the study of classical architecture before students were free to follow their own ideas.One of his fellow students was Gordon Cullen who would become a well-known architectural illustrator, urban designer and theorist. Cullen advocated the improvement of urban settlements through an understanding and analysis of their picturesque qualities. This approach was profoundly influential on <mask>, who insisted in his work that the context and landscaping of his buildings be carefully integrated. Career

After qualifying as an architect <mask> began work with the design team for Welwyn Garden City under the leadership of Louis de Soissons. He studied town planning and this interest broadened his approach to architecture, in particular about how buildings related physically and socially to their setting. In 1936 he became an associate of the Royal Institute of British

 Architects. Before the outbreak of World War II, <mask> travelled to Sweden.He was attracted there partly by his admiration for the work of the Functionalist Swedish architects Gunnar Asplund, Sven Markelius and Sigurd Lewerentz and partly by the country's adoption of the social welfare model. In Sweden the political will was reflected in the national architecture and these two factors coincided with his own humanist beliefs. He would go on to make an important contribution to the architectural landscape of both his adopted country and to that of England. In Sweden, England and Canada, he was responsible for the design of numerous innovative buildings reflecting his particular ideology. They include:
 Gyttorp, Nora Municipality, Sweden, 1945 to 1955, housing project for a factory town. Ski hotel at Borgafjall (1948–50)
 Shopping, the first purpose-built enclosed shopping centre in the world in Luleå, Sweden opened in October 1955 in the small town of Luleå in the far north of Sweden. (By the above definition "Shopping" in Luleå was actually the first shopping centre in the world, and Southdale in Minnesota, United States came second in October 1956.)The Brittgården residential area at Tibro, Sweden, 1956 to 1959
 Svappavaara, Kiruna Municipality, Sweden, 1962, a housing project for a copper mine above the Arctic Circle (this project influenced the design of the northern town of Fermont, Quebec). Esperanza terraced housing area, Landskrona, Scania, Sweden, around 1968. Built up 1969-70. Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, 1969. Resolute, Nunavut
 Eaglestone grid square, at Milton Keynes, from 1972 to 1976. The Byker redevelopment, at Newcastle upon Tyne, from 1969 to 1982. The Nya Bruket area in Sandviken, Sweden, 1973 to 1978.The Stockholm University Library (opened in 1983), as well as several other

Greenwich Millennium Village, London, from 2000 to 2005. <mask> was best known in Great Britain for his Byker Wall housing scheme in Newcastle upon Tyne and The London Ark, a commercial project in Hammersmith, London. However, it was his achievement in designing the winning scheme in a 1997 competition to develop the Millennium Community at Greenwich (Greenwich Millennium Village), London that brought his work to the widespread attention of his compatriot Britons. This recognition came late in a productive, long and important career. Death and legacy
On his death in 2005, Councillor Peter Arnold, leader of Newcastle City Council said of Erskine that he "was one of the twentieth century's greatest architects and in Newcastle's Byker estate he gave the city one of Europe's finest post Second World War new housing communities.His approach was so different from everything happening around that time as he put the focus on social regeneration and the interests of local people, rather than just bricks and mortar. He built Byker Wall Estate around the community. Local people were fully involved in the design and rather than clearing properties and moving people elsewhere, the community was able to remain together.”

<mask> founded his own company in Sweden in 1939. In 2000 he invited his long-time collaborator Johannes Tovatt into a partnership, naming the company Erskine Tovatt Arkitekter AB. It was <mask>'s will that on his death his name be removed from the company. Therefore, his legacy lives on in the company

After City Thrills broke up in 1983, <mask> returned to Boston and formed the Blackjacks with Whitey and drummer, Jeff Erna (original drummer, Dropkick Murphys).The band then hired their roadie, Rafe Mabry, to play guitar. The Blackjacks were more a rock band, with influences from 1950s rock and roll, 1960s pop and psych, 1970s punk, blues and garage rock. The band released "Basic Blackjacks" in June 1984, and "Dreaming of Saturday Again" was a local hit. “Dressed In Black" made #1 on WBCN's local countdown, and a top 20 college radio track in the rest of the nation. This, with a video of "Dreaming of Saturday Again" got moderate play on local music video channel V-66. In July 1989, the band played its last gig at The Rat. After the break up of The Blackjacks, <mask> became a standup comic with a guitar, which he said "shot his credibility to pieces".Swinging Erudites

The core of what passes for the band is percussionist Brock Avery (Marshall Crenshaw, Wayne Kramer), occasionally joined by Danny Frankel (Lou Reed). Bass is generally the ubiquitous Robbie Rist (legendary child actor and prodigy). Guitars are Mark Pritchard (Possum Dixon, El Vez), Chris Lawrence (Mike Ness) and horns are Scott Gilman (Foreigner).

In 2011, <mask> went back into the studio to record 12 songs for a new CD titled "IT!!".The topics and sound are not the same as his youth, but he remained true to himself while channeling the early 1960s artists (Moby Grape, The Left Banke, The Beatles and The Byrds).

In preparation for this exhibition, <mask> rekindled his friendship with Ka Fue Lay, who was a teenager when he settled in Craigavon in 1979 and now lives in Salisbury, England. <mask> made a video in which Ka Fue Lay discusses his life in Vietnam, displays family photographs and fondly recalls his time in Craigavon. The exhibition also includes <mask>'s black and white photographs of Craigavon from the late 1970s and early 1980s, contemporary images that he created by scratching, painting and bleaching photographic prints, and recent work including large colour photographs of Moyraverty. <mask>'s exhibition Before, in Belfast Exposed Gallery, Belfast, 2017, revealed an excerpt from an extensive but little-seen body of archival photographs that <mask> made in the 1970s and 80s in Northern Ireland. The images document the activities and characters that populated <mask>'s daily life; the urban development of his hometown of Craigavon; and the constant and pervasive presence of the political conflict. For the artist these photographs functioned as a type of preliminary 'sketchbook', shaping the distinctive style and thematics he would later become known for.Viewed together as an exhibition they represent <mask>'s significant contribution to the tradition of Northern Irish documentary practice.

A typical image from the Northern Irish works of <mask> is Walk X from 1985. It is a silver gelatin print. In it we see dead centre, splitting the image, a uniformed police officer with a peaked cap. He is in profile, staring tight-lipped at the parade, feet apart in a rooted stance, symbol of law-and-order but also unusually for the North, of impartiality, indicated by his dead centre stance. From the left a huge Lambeg drum, strapped to its unseen owner's chest, juts out across the body; but it has been rendered semi-transparent so that the outline shape of the police officer can still be seen.On one level this drum functions as a musical instrument, the rhythmic 'keeper of the beat'. But the unhinged arm, wielder of a timpani-like drum-stick, indicates not only the wardrum call, but also the potential of the drum-stick as a weapon. On another level the drum is like a Jasper Johns target with its concentric circles of black, white, black and white again for the heart of the target. The paradox is that the police officer who has often been seen, in the eyes of Catholics, as the defender of the Protestant tradition, has now become a target for his own loyalist people (the police being a largely Protestant force).
