Every year during his son's college career, his father came to Louisville to spend the season with his son, and was a fixture at Cardinals home games. His siblings have also abandoned their previous criminal activity, and his mother, who had worked three jobs while he was growing up, is now a drug counselor. <mask> was one of the top searched college basketball players in his final season at Louisville. Shortly after his graduation, he married his longtime girlfriend, Patience McCroskey, on July 27, 2013 at Louisville's home arena, the KFC Yum!

<mask>eːviɐ naɪˈduː]; born 2 October 1971) is a German soul and R&B singer/songwriter, record producer and anti-semite . He is a founding member of German band Söhne Mannheims, and started two record labels, Beats Around the Bush and Naidoo Records. <mask> also has a successful solo career. His debut album Nicht von dieser Welt (1998) has sold over 1 million records, and all his next six albums Zwischenspiel – Alles für den Herrn (2002), Telegramm für X (2005), Alles kann besser werden (2009), Danke für's Zuhören (2012), Bei meiner Seele (2013) und Nicht von dieser Welt 2 (2016) reached number 1 on the German album charts. Most of his songs are in German, but he has also released a few English songs. He has been the subject of multiple controversies due to the content of his songs, political statements, adherence to conspiracy theories, propagation of far-right talking points as well as his use of homophobic, antisemitic, and racist tropes. <mask> is also a climate change denier.Career

Born and raised in Mannheim to South African parents of South African Indian, Telugu, German and Irish descent, <mask> worked in several jobs in the food and music industries before relocating to the United States in the early 1990s, where he released his first full-length English-language album Seeing Is Believing under his stage name Kobra in 1994. He currently resides in Heidelberg in his native Germany. After working as a backing vocalist for the Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt and 3P label mates Sabrina Setlur and Illmat!c, <mask> released his first German-language album Nicht von dieser Welt in 1998, for which he won an ECHO Award and an MTV Europe Music Award. Selling more than one million copies in total, it produced six singles, including "Seine Straßen" and "Sie sieht mich nicht", the latter of which served as the theme song for Astérix & Obélix Take on Caesar (1999). After his highly publicized departure from 3P, his third studio album Zwischenspiel – Alles für den Herrn was released in 2002. It spawned the top five hit singles "Wo willst du hin?"

Nowadays he switches back and forth with doing some solo music or recording an album and going on tour with Söhne Mannheims. He joined groups like Brothers Keepers and the charity project (Signs of the Times) in early 2013

In 2012, he also collaborated in Xavas, a duo formation with Kool Savas, a Turkish-German rapper in the album Gespaltene Persönlichkeit. The two had already worked together on a number of other releases. In 2013, <mask> released "Eye Opener" on the vocal collaboration album "Features" by Kris Menace. Eurovision Song Contest invitation and withdrawal

On 19 November 2015, <mask> was announced as the German representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.His entry was due to be chosen from six competing entries in a national final in February. However, his selection proved controversial. <mask>'s right wing political views, coupled with homophobic lyrics in his 2012 song (featuring Kool Savas) "Wo sind sie jetzt", led to calls for his selection to be reconsidered. Within a day, an online petition had gathered nearly 15,000 signatories. Claudia Roth, a vice-president of the Bundestag for the German Green Party, also criticised the decision, citing the poor timing, with right wing political causes gaining popularity in the wake of the migrant crisis. On 21 November, German broadcaster NDR revealed that Germany had withdrawn the singer's participation. Political views

 Reichsbürgerbewegung, the right-wing movement that seeks to restore Germany's pre-1918 borders, denies the legal existence of the Federal Republic of Germany and claims Germany is a country occupied by enemy, foreign forces.During the event he also denied the official account of the September 11 attacks, stating that "simply put, whoever believes what was reported about this event is not seeing clearly". <mask> gave similar opinions in a live interview on ARD-Morgenmagazin, public service breakfast television in 2015. In March 2020 two video clips of <mask> were released on social media, showing him singing one of his songs in the aftermath of the anti-migrant 2018 Chemnitz protests with altered lyrics. In these he stated about the migrants who recently arrived in Germany: "Your daughters, your children shall suffer; Shall have to undress next to wolves in the gym; While you stand around placidly doing nothing" and "Far and wide, not a man in sight, who can save this country yet". Naidoo was subsequently fired by the TV-station RTL where he worked as a judge on the casting show Deutschland sucht den Superstar. <mask> also propagates climate change denial. He claims the Fridays for Future movement is orchestrated by the Antichrist.According to Naidoo the proof is to be found in the name of the movement, which abbreviates to "FFF", the letter "F" being the sixth in the alphabet, therefore symbolizing the number of the beast. Naidoo also denies the existence of the COVID-19 pandemic and is a strong opponent of the obligation to wear facemasks in certain public places, that was introduced by the German government. He voiced these opinions in a video he published via Telegram in July 2020. In this same video, Naidoo announced his intention to sue the German government over its alleged faking of the pandemic.

Ethos
<mask>'s music has been claimed to feature a utopian, pan-theistic ideology through which he expressed his own political anxieties and stances. Although he explores Christian, Muslim, and Rastafarian modes of living, his work has been asserted to be strongly grounded in Old Testament narratives and apocalyptic sentiments.Applying these to situations faced specifically in a "Black German" context, <mask> has called for solutions not from the state, but from cross-cultural spiritual collectives. For example, in the lyrics and video for "Seine Strassen", the power of the state in terms of protection and surveillance is said to pale in comparison to higher spiritual powers. His lyrics have also featured anti-semitic slurs and homophobic sentiments. His 2012 song "Wo sind" implied that homosexuals were pedophiles. Mixed German and Asian identity
Although Naidoo does not engage directly with his own mixed German and Asian identity in his music, he was integral to the formation of an Afro-German presence in German popular culture. Specifically, his work with Glashaus can be said to have originated a distinctly Afro-German form of R&B, one which addressed the issues faced by Black Germans without invoking Black Germans specifically. Not only did Naidoo experiment with sounds from around the Black Diaspora, notably working with RZA, but was also a member of Brothers Keepers, an explicitly Afro-German and explicitly political collective.As lead singer on "Adriano", one of Brothers Keepers' most well-known songs, he has been seen to stand with the Afro-German collective and setting the tone for their message.

<mask> (1607/8–1691) was a leader in Plymouth Colony, New England. He arrived at the colony with his father <mask> on the ship Fortune in November 1621. <mask> returned to England alone, leaving <mask> as a ward of Governor William Bradford. In 1649 <mask> succeeded William Brewster as Ruling Elder and held that position for over 40 years until his death. Over his long life Cushman became a person of note in the colony being involved in numerous important activities. His wife Mary was the daughter of Pilgrim Isaac Allerton. English origins
<mask> was born in Canterbury, county Kent, England, being baptized at St. Andrew, Canterbury on February 8, 1607/8.His parents were <mask> and Sara Reder, his father being a grocer at that time. When <mask> was very young, the family emigrated to Holland to follow the English Separatist religious movement. The Cushman name
Robert Cushman seems to be one of the earlier carriers of this name, which over many years, per Kent parish records of the 16th and 17th centuries, derived from such surnames as Cowchman, Couchman, Cutchman, Cuchman, Crocheman, etc. The surname of Robert Cushman's father <mask> was Couchman. Although spelled differently, the Couchmans of England had their deepest ancestry in Kent with Cranbrook at the center. Predominantly they were cloth makers, Flemish in origin, who with other countrymen came to several regions of England at the invitation of King Edward II around the year 1336. (from <mask>, Church History of England, 1837.)Life in Holland
<mask> was a wool-comber in Leiden, Holland. In 1616, his wife Sara

Late in 1617, soon after his second marriage, <mask> and John Carver were tasked by the Leiden congregation to go to the Council for Virginia in London to negotiate for patent within the company's grant. <mask> was the Leiden, and later, the Plymouth contingent's Chief Agent in England from 1617 until his death in 1625. There is no further record of <mask>'s second wife.She may have been deceased before the Cushmans embarked in the Fortune in 1621 and therefore the reason <mask> was left with Bradford. Life in New England
<mask> and his son <mask> arrived on the ship Fortune on November 11, 1621, at New Plymouth. But <mask>, having already been at sea for four months, returned to England shortly thereafter; this left young <mask> in the care of colony William Bradford. Bradford recorded that <mask>'s stay to attend to business regarding the London Adventurers agreement with the colony was “not above fourteen days”. <mask> remained in Plymouth, working as a surveyor of roads and as a rate-assessor, among numerous other minor positions. In the land division of 1623, he was paired with William Beale, the two of them receiving two “akers” (acres). He was a Purchaser, that group involved in Plymouth colony investments and received a number of land grants.His name also appears in the 1627 Division of the Cattle, which was, in effect, also a census. This was lot eleven, which listed, among

 others, the Bradfords, with whom <mask> was apparently living. On January 1, 1633/34 he was admitted a Plymouth freeman. On the 1643 “Able to Bear Arms” list, he is named along with the men from Plymouth. On March 3, 1645/46 Cushman made a successful motion in court that Mr. Isaac Allerton be allowed a years time to recover his debts in the colony, Allerton being his father-in-law. On April 6, 1649, he was chosen as Ruling Elder of the church, succeeding William Brewster, a position he held until his death. No papers are left from <mask>, but one recently discovered document bearing his signature is in the care of the Massachusetts Historical Society.It is titled “A Petition to the General Court of New Plymouth by <mask>, Senior”.

<mask> (pronounced Ay-vert Plough; born 1963 in Sydney, New South Wales) is one of Australia's most highly regarded portrait painters, who has won a range of painting prizes, such as the 1999 and 2007 Archibald Prize (Category: People’s Choice) and was awarded the highly coveted ‘Signature Status’ of The Portrait Society of America. Personal life
Born and raised in Sydney in a family of Dutch heritage, <mask> works from his self-designed studio on the city’s Northern Beaches, which was featured on Nine Network’s ‘Our House’ programme in 2001. He lives with his partner, film and television costumier, Ivana Daniele and their two daughters. Style and Artistic Approach
Working in a tonal realist style (mostly in oil), Ploeg’s pictures bespeak an approach to portraiture that is inspired by documentary methods. Putting emphasis on visually encoding a personal narrative in any given portrait, he builds connection to his subjects through conversation and extended observation both during their sitting as well as in their engagements outside of the atelier. In his early work, he explored alternative textures and surfaces, while today his direct and sculptural approach sees him coming back to and revisiting passages, building up character and emotion through tonal layering. Rhythmical application delivers a dynamic sense of movement while maintaining a harmonious and expressive style.A dominant feature in <mask>’s work is thereby the aesthetic rendition of hands, with their shape and posture rounding compositions and giving them their signature look. Over the past decade, <mask> has begun engaging more and more in plein-air painting, affording unique scenarios that lend his current style an ‘Alla Prima’ element. Career
<mask> mainly works on a commission basis, with his work having been recognized with numerous (inter)national prizes

 and awards. It is held in many of Australia’s major public and private collections as well as having received sustained international coverage, especially in the USA. Aside from direct commissions, he has also participated in a plethora of special events, for example engaging in live painting on stage for acclaimed theatre projects, judging in art prize panels or lending his time as well as painting and sculptural skill to charity causes. He also guest lectures and conducts workshops and classes across the country. Archibald Prize
Amid the most significant recognition of <mask>’s achievements are his three-time wins at Australia’s most prestigious and often controversial Archibald Portrait Prize held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.Having first entered the competition in 1997 with a controversial (and ultimately ruled out) submission of a portrait of the ABC’s cherished cartoon characters Bananas in Pyjamas, Ploeg has since won the coveted Archibald People’s Choice Award in 1999 (subject: Australian Indigenous actress Deborah Mailman)  and in 2007 (subject: Australian conductor and musical director George Ellis), as well as its Packing Room Prize in 2004 (subject: Australian journalist Jana Wendt). Furthermore, Ploeg has been selected to the Salon des Refuses of Sydney’s S.H. Ervin Gallery, termed the Alternative Archibald, three times with a People’s Choice win there in 2000 (subject: Australian actor Richard Roxburgh) ¬– concurrent to having had his portrait of Paralympian athlete Louise Sauvage competing in the ‘Sporting’ Archibald held in conjunction with the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He has also entered paintings to the Archibald Prize of singer Ben Lee, fashion identity Peter Morrissey, actor Richard Roxburgh and art collector and philanthropist John Schaeffer AO (in 2014).

Ploeg has painted portraits of clients with international renown, such as pop star Ben Lee, fashion identity Peter Morrissey, film actor Richard Roxburgh, art collector & philanthropist John Schaeffer AO, the late ‘Mr Movies’ Bill Collins OAM and Dr Paul Scully Power - Australia’s first astronaut in space. The lion’s share of his assignments originates from commercial and corporate institutions, which saw him paint, for example, Mrs Tamie Fraser AO for the Australiana Fund in 2018  and Prof. Fred Hilmer AO, eighth Vice-Chancellor of The University of New South Wales and Deputy-Chairman of the Westfield Group, with the work included in the 20/20 exhibition at the Australian National Portrait Gallery (2018).Before committing his entire career to portraiture, <mask> worked as a trained illustrator for 13 years, having graduated East Sydney’s Design College (now: National Art School) in 1984. His work was commissioned by prestigious department stores, international cosmetic companies, leading advertising agencies and major publishing houses and was regularly featured in editorial and advertisement spreads in fashion magazines of the day. For example, he was commissioned to illustrate the re-publications of Australian classic children’s stories, such as We of the Never, Never and Clancy of

Following this success, publisher Hodder Headline enlisted <mask> to illustrate the cover jackets for seven books of Geoffrey McSkimming’s children’s adventure series Cairo Jim (1996). Theatre Work
In addition to his regular portraiture commissions, <mask> has for the past decade been involved with Australian arts and social change company Big hART Inc., which conducts large-scale, long-term community development projects. In September 2010, he joined the cast of their highly acclaimed Namatjira production at Sydney’s premier Belvoir Street Theatre, which relates the biographical story of late Western Aranda watercolor painter Albert (Elea) Namatjira (1902–59).<mask> was painting lead actor Trevor Jamieson’s portrait while he was performing his role live on stage, retelling the story of one of Australia’s most famous Indigenous artists. Over the season and its subsequent national tour (2012), Ploeg completed eight paintings, which were exhibited and sold at the Adelaide State Gallery & Museum together with other visual art created in the context of Big hART’s project. <mask>’s association with the company has continued beyond the Namatjira Project, with him participating also in creative developments of their Yijala Yala Project in the Pilbara communities of Western Australia (since 2011) and in their seafaring project Blue Angel, which saw him spent a seven-day residency onboard the oil tanker British Loyalty in 2014, painting crew members on their way from Sydney to Brisbane. Those works were first exhibited in the 2015 Tasmanian 10 Days on the Island Festival as part of a site-specific theatre production in Hobart’s Astor

<mask> (January 14, 1837 – December 10, 1917) was an American law enforcement officer, retail clerk, debt collector, temperance lecturer, colporteur, and politician from Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin who served a single term as a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly's 2nd Milwaukee County district (the 2nd Ward of the City of Milwaukee). He was a member of the Reform Party, a short-lived coalition of Democrats, reform and Liberal Republicans, and Grangers formed in 1873 in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, which had secured the election for two years of William Robert Taylor as Governor of Wisconsin, as well as electing a number of state legislators, but failed to thrive. Background
Fagg was born <mask> in Vlissingen in the Kingdom of the Netherlands on January 14, 1837, son of Captain <mask> (Zierikzee, 1804) and Sara Jacoba Smith (Vlissingen, 1813), and grandson of <mask> and Jacoba Johanna van der Tollen, with John having Scotch and English ancestors. The captain was a ship owner, sailor, and merchant who owned a large grocery business in Vlissengen. His mother, Sarah Jacoba Smith, was a Vlissingen native from a prominent local family of English and Dutch ancestry. Captain Fagg never learned the Dutch language, speaking only English. Captain <mask> died at the age of 34, and for two years his wife managed the business.She married for a second time on March 5, 1841,Frederick T. Zetteler, a son of the royal tailor. A few years after Sarah's second marriage, and after the second bankruptcy of her husband the whole family came to the United States, taking passage at Antwerp on a sailing ship that landed them at New York City.

 proceeded to Albany, New York and thence by canals and the Great Lakes to Milwaukee, landing July 3, 1848, and there they settled down on a farm. In 1853 Zetteler moved the family to Madison and opened a general store. The mother and children ran the store and the father worked for official offices of the State, including the Secretary of State of Wisconsin and the State Register of Deeds, and <mask> worked in the office of former Governor Leonard J. Farwell. In 1858, a fire destroyed all of the family's property, and Zetteler returned to Milwaukee and went into the real estate business. <mask> married Tyistke (original Dutch spelling: "Tjitske" ) Tillema (called "Mary") on May 3, 1859.They moved to Alto in Fond du Lac County in 1861, where he worked as a retail clerk in a general store. Fagg was elected a justice of the peace in Alto, and county supervisor for the same place, in 1862, and re-elected. In 1863 his stepfather was elected (as a Democrat) to the State Assembly back in Milwaukee. Fagg was appointed as a prison guard in the Wisconsin State Prison in 1865; then returned to Milwaukee in 1867, where he was appointed a police officer under Chief William Beck. He became a deputy sheriff under Sheriffs Parsons and McDonald, and resigned in October, 1873. He worked as a notary public and debt collector. Assembly
In 1874 he was elected to succeed fellow Reformer Joseph Hamilton (who was not a candidate) under the label of "Democratic Reform."He won with 995 votes, to 451 for Thomas Armstrong, who ran as an "Independent Republican". He was re-elected the next year as an "Independent Democrat" (the Reform Party was beginning to

 break down), with 763 votes to 534 for regular Democrat George Tyre, serving with his stepfather Frederick Zetteler, who had just been elected once again to the Assembly from Milwaukee as a Democrat. Due to the division of the Assembly, no single party could assemble a majority. Fagg was persuaded to support Republican Sam Fifield for Speaker of the House. Fagg switched his vote and his influence, thus enabling the Republicans to control the Assembly. From that time on, he supported the Republican party cause, especially among his fellow Dutch Americans. Fagg was not a candidate for re-election in 1876, and was succeeded by Hamilton (now running as a Democrat).After the Assembly
Fagg became briefly postmaster of the Wisconsin State Senate, then with the help of Republican Governor William E. Smith moved on to a clerical position in the office of the Wisconsin Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, where he remained for nine years. In 1886, he was not reappointed due to his increasingly fervent religious and temperance movement positions. Fagg had been a teetotaler for many years, and increasingly argued that the only acceptable place for him in political matters was as a lecturer for the cause of Prohibition. He became a sale agent for books and Bibles. He was active in a number of fraternal orders, held high office in the Independent Order of Good Templars' Temple of Honor and Temperance and the Knights of Pythias, and for years was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. By 1895, Fagg was reported to have suffered financial reversals, and to be working as day labor at the Wisconsin State Capitol building. He spent some

 time working in the library of the State Historical Society, and in the office of the Secretary of State.When he went to Milwaukee in 1896 to attend the funeral of his step-father, the Wisconsin State Journal observed, "Of the sixty-two voters in the family and connections of <mask>g, there is only one [D]emocrat. "In 1900, he was an agent authorized to collect money for Boer soldiers wounded during the Second Boer War. (A Chicago paper had already reported Fagg as having donated to this cause, along with a number of Irish-Americans presumably doing so to "twist the lion's tail". When a bill was before the legislature to introduce primary elections as a replacement for nomination by party conventions, the Kenosha News bemoaninbg the potential diminishing effect on party conventions, asked rhetorically (quoting a Chicago Record reporter) "... where else can the Hon. <mask>g cut a picturesque and historical figure?" Fagg died December 10, 1917 after a long illness and six months of blindness, leaving his invalid wife, five sons and two daughters (a third had died just three years before). References

<mask> (; 24 April 1909 – 13 March 1987) was a German zoo director, zoologist, book author, editor,  and animal conservationist in postwar West Germany. Biography

Early years and education
<mask> was born in Neisse (Nysa), Prussian Silesia. His father <mask> was a lawyer and civil law notary and his mother was Margarete Margot (nee Wanke). After studying veterinary medicine in 1928, first at Leipzig and later in Berlin, Grzimek received a doctorate in 1933. He married Hildegard Prüfer on 17 May 1930 and had three sons: Rochus, Michael, and an adopted son, Thomas. World War II and aftermath

During the Second World War he was a veterinarian in the Wehrmacht and worked for the Reichsernährungsministerium (Food Ministry of the 3rd Empire) in Berlin. In early 1945, the Gestapo raided Grzimek's Berlin apartment, because he had repeatedly supplied food to hidden Jews.<mask> then fled from Berlin to Frankfurt, which was occupied by the U.S. Army. In April 1945 he was appointed police chief of Frankfurt by U.S. authorities, but he refused the job. In late 1947, <mask> was accused of membership in the NSDAP (the Nazi Party) by the U.S. military government, which he denied. He was then removed from office in the Frankfurt Zoo, fined, and sent for denazification. On 23 March 1948, it was determined that he was innocent (Category 5; Exonerated). He was then reinstated at the Zoo by the U.S. government but his reputation was compromised as there was a NSDAP entry as a candidate but not as a member; following a 1949 lawsuit Grzimek was given a fine. According to Nowak, Grzimek had tried to join the party out of fear, to save himself.Zoo director

 the Frankfurt Zoological Garden on 1 May 1945. With the zoo then in ruins and all but 20 animals killed, he prevented its permanent closure and relocated it to the suburbs as the Centre Zoo. The Zoo reopened on 1 July 1945, after all bomb craters had been filled and buildings temporarily restored. With festivals, dances and actors, <mask> attracted the Frankfurt population, while receiving the assent of the Provisional Government and the U.S. military to continue the Zoo. He led the Zoo for 29 years, until his retirement on 30 April 1974. He made it into one of the largest zoological gardens in Germany. At the same time he served as president of the Frankfurt Zoological Society, this for over forty years.The society – organized on similar principles as its London and New York counterparts – runs a number of wildlife conservation projects both in Germany and overseas; most well-known is its ongoing work in the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania, East Africa. Conservationism and other activities

In 1954 he founded the image agency Okapia, which specializes in science, animals and nature. Today the agency employs 650 photographers, and is led by <mask> <mask>, <mask>'s grandson who died in the Serengeti. Grzimek is significant for the conservation work he undertook in the Serengeti. He spent several years studying its wildlife there alongside his son Michael, especially on observation and counts of large scale annual migrations. The documentary film Serengeti Shall Not Die was written and directed by Bernard and <mask> and won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature in 1959. In the same year Michael was killed in an air crash while flying the Dornier Do 27

 because of a collision with a griffon vulture.<mask> wrote a best-selling book, Serengeti Shall Not Die, which first appeared in German in 1959 and later in 20 other languages. Its popularity was key in driving the creation of the Serengeti National Park. In the book he prophesied:

In 1975 he co-founded the League for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND) and bought ten acres of forest and wetlands in the Steiger forest near Michelau im Steigerwald which he left wild. In 1978 he married his son's widow, Erika. He subsequently adopted his grandsons as sons. Death

<mask> died in Frankfurt am Main in 1987 while watching a circus performance with a group of children. His ashes were later transferred to Tanzania and buried next to his son Michael at the Ngorongoro Crater.In his lifetime, he had wished that after his death, his body would be laid out on the African plains to be eaten by scavengers. Publications

<mask> was the editor-in-chief of (and author of a number of articles in) a massive and monumental encyclopedia of animal life. After publication in Germany in 1968, <mask>'s Animal Life Encyclopedia was translated into English  and published in 1975 in 13 volumes (covering lower life forms, insects and other invertebrates, fish, amphibia, reptiles, birds and mammals) plus three additional volumes on Ecology, Ethology and Evolution. The 1975 work was issued in both hardback and less expensive paperback editions and became a standard reference work. After <mask>'s death, the volumes on mammals were revised, and republished in both German and then in English. In 2004, the entire encyclopedia was revised and published in a new and expanded edition

 with Michael Hutchins as the new editor in chief. All the versions of the encyclopedia are marked by clear and forceful prose, extensive use of illustrations (both drawings and color plates), and a deep love and concern for animal conservation.Of national importance were his work as co-editor (together with Austrian Nobel-prize winner Konrad Lorenz) of the then-largest popular magazine on animals and wildlife in German language, Das Tier (German for "The Animal") and of a very popular television series on wildlife. He also authored a large number of popular books based on his countless experiences with animals which he raised since his student days, managed as zoo director, and encountered in the wild during many research trips.

He is best known for authoring Les Théorèmes sur le Sacré Mystère de Nostre Rédemption, a sequence of 515 sonnets, published in two volumes in 1613 and 1622. Taken together, the sonnets are an exegesis on the passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and take a heuristic approach. Early life
<mask> was born circa 1550 in Marseille. His father was <mask>-<mask> and his mother, <mask>ar. According to Keith Bosley, the <mask> family was of Spanish heritage and may have been related to Saint Teresa of Avila, who was born a Cepeda.He received a Doctorate in Law. Career
<mask>ède became an Advisor to the Parliament of Aix-en-Provence on 22 October 1578. He advised Perrinet <mask>s. He became the President of the Court of Audit in 1583, replacing <mask> Bompar <mask>gnan. He became its First President on 14 July 1608, replacing <mask> Rollands <mask>auville and, as the President of a Parliament Court, <mask>ède was enrolled in the ranks of the Nobles of the Robe. Despite his devoutly Roman Catholic Faith, <mask>ède supported the claim of the Calvinist Henri of Navarre under Salic <mask> to the throne of France during the French Wars of Religion. For this reason, <mask>ède was arrested in 1589, after the Parliament of Aix-en-Provence fell to the armies of the militantly anti-Protestant
Catholic League.<mask>ède attempted to escape disguised as a shoemaker, but was shot and recaptured.

 <mask>ède was later released on the orders of a senior member of the League who held him in esteem. It was only in 1596 that Marseilles fell to the armies of the now-Catholic King Henri IV. <mask> Ceppède acquired the estate of Aygalades from Melchion <mask> on 31 March 1599. As a result, he became known as the Seigneur (or "Lord of the Manor") of Ayglades. The estate was home to a community of Carmelites, and <mask> Ceppède funded the reconstruction of their chapel. Literary career
During the French Wars of Religion, <mask>ppède belonged to a Royalist literary circle which included the son of Nostradamus.During the same period, he began writing the sonnets that appear in the Theorems. As France was increasingly reunified by the armies of King Henri IV, La Ceppède published his first collection of poems, which was an imitation of the Seven Penitential Psalms. According to Keith Bosley, La Ceppède's book was one of many peace offerings to the new King by the poets of Provence, where support for the Catholic League had been overwhelming. Accord to a 2012 article about <mask> Ceppède by Christopher O. Blum, "It was in 1594, at the end of the French Wars of Religion, that he published his first work, an Imitation of the Penitential Psalms of David. In a dedicatory epistle that was an extended meditation upon theme of shipwreck, he declared his desire to 'dispose his soul and, with it, poor France' to look to the Cross for safety and to take 'the good David' as guide for 'this perilous navigation.' To paraphrase or imitate the Psalms was a

texts: common undertaking in those days. La Ceppède’s efforts may be likened to those of some of the best-known poets of the period, including his friend Malherbe (Psalm 146), the Castilian friar <mask> Léon (Psalm 130), and George Herbert (Psalm 23).The recitation of the seven penitential psalms (Psalms 6, 33, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143) was then a popular Lenten practice, and La Ceppède’s imitations, each accompanied with a lengthy prayer, succeed in expressing the sentiments of a contrite and humble heart. The work also included a number of other poems, including twelve sonnets that he offered in the hope that 'they would give some consolation to Christian souls amidst the numerous evils that they suffer' and as an advanced offering from a more ambitious task upon which he was already laboring, the Theorems upon the Sacred Mystery of Our Redemption." When it was published in 1613, La Ceppède dedicated the first volume of the Theorems to the Queen Mother, <mask>' Medici. He also sent a copy to Saint <mask> Sales, who had been a highly successful Catholic missionary among the French Protestants of the Chablais and who was then the Roman Catholic Bishop of overwhelmingly Calvinist Geneva. In response to La Ceppède's frequent comparison of Jesus Christ to figures from Greek and Roman mythology, the Bishop wrote, "[I am] drawn by that learned piety which so happily makes you transform the Pagan Muses into Christian ones." When the second volume of the Theorems appeared in 1622, La Ceppède dedicated it to King Louis XIII, in celebration of both the

 King's recent coming of age and his military victory against an uprising of the Huguenots of Languedoc, which had been led by Henri, Duke of Rohan. According to Christopher Blum, "The Theorems is not only poetry, it is a splendid work of erudition, as each sonnet is provided with a commentary linking it to Scriptural and Patristic sources and, especially, to the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas.The work bears the mark of the Renaissance: the sonnet, that choice mode of expressing romantic love, is here purged and elevated and put in the service of the epic tale of God’s love for man. As <mask>ède put it in his introduction—which can be read in Keith Bosley’s admirable translation of seventy of the sonnets—the harlot <mask> had been unstitched of 'her worldly habits' and shorn of her 'idolatrous, lying and lascivious hair' by the 'two-edged razor of profound meditation on the Passion and death of our Saviour.'" Personal life
<mask>ppède married <mask> Brancas-Ceyreste, the daughter of Gaspard <mask>-Forcalquier and Françoise d’Ancezune, and widow of Etienne <mask>. The wedding took place on 30 April 1585. They had a daughter, Angélique, who married <mask> Simiane, Seigneur (or Lord) of La Coste. He married a second time, to <mask> Faret, the daughter of Accurse <mask>, the Squire of Avignon, on 11 February 1611. Death

 <mask> Malherbe, Baroque poetry was replaced by Neo-Classicism. To this day, the French poetry of the Renaissance is often looked down on and Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux's maxim, Enfin Malherbe vint ("Finally Malherbe arrived"), continues to be taken for granted. <mask> Ceppède's verses were accordingly consigned to oblivion until 1915, when they were unearthed by Fr. Henri Bremond and appeared in the first volume of his book Histoire littéraire du Sentiment religieux en France. Since then, La Ceppède's poetry has experienced a revival. It has appeared in multiple poetry anthologies and several scholarly works have been written about its author. Following his death in 1623, <mask> <mask>'s former estate grew into a village called Les Aygalades, which is now part of the 15th arrondisement of Marseille.In 1689, part of the estate was purchased by the aristocratic <mask> family, who built upon it the Bastide de la Guillermy, which is now the oldest building in the city.

<mask> (; ; August 16, 1925 – February 13, 2009) was an Azerbaijani poet, dramatist, lyricist and translator as well as a college professor and politician. He is often regarded as one the greatest contemporary poets of Azerbaijan. <mask> was born in 1925 in Nukha (now Sheki) where his bust now stands on a central square. With his family he moved to Baku in 1934 and later studied philology at Azerbaijan State University. He would remain there as a professor till 1990 except during 1962-1964 when expelled for nationalist leanings. During that time he survived dire poverty by selling his wife's jewellery. They had three children, Gulzar, Isfandiyar and Azer.Isfandiyar was named Azerbaijan's ambassador to Moldova. <mask> died in Baku on February 13, 2009, aged 83. His memorial celebration was attended by the President of Azerbaijan. Literary career

<mask> presented his doctoral thesis on the Azerbaijani poet Samed Vurgun in 1951. In 1952, afraid that his anti-Stalin sentiments and critical sentiments towards certain elements of the post World War II Soviet system would be discovered, he destroyed the majority of his early poetic works, albeit keeping just a small sample by hiding the manuscripts in his mother's prosthetic leg. Over his career he wrote on numerous themes, notably country (Azerbaijan), family, nature, language and freedom. For years his articles and poems appeared in the review Türk Edebiyatı having gained acclaim in Turkey for Yel Kaya'dan Ne Aparır?(What Does the Wind Steal from the Stone? ), an article published in Varlık that set out to answer critics of the medieval poet Fuzuli. <mask> won the Azerbaijan SSR state prize as honoured arts worker in 1974, won the state award for the whole USSR in 1984 and was named People's Poet a year later. In 2002, <mask> received the Commodore Medal from the Romanian Ministry of Culture for his poetry book titled Benim

 Garibim (My Poor). Poetry and Long Verse
Among his best known long verses, Yollar-Oğullar (Roads-Sons) was dedicated to the Algerian Independence Movement, and the Mugam celebrated Azerbaijan's best known composer Üzeyir Hacıbeyli. Many of Vahabzade's works had a political edge that purported to criticise inadequacies of the USSR's Western enemies while in fact having underlying resonances with problems back home. Thus Latin Dili (Latin Language, 1967), written in reaction to a visit to Morocco noted how local people, like Azeris in the USSR, were forced to use a non-native language (i.e.French rather than Arabic). Latin Dili thereupon highlights the irony that elsewhere there's a language (Latin) that remains widely used despite no longer belonging to any living culture. This nearly got <mask> in trouble with the KGB but it could not be proven that the poem's subtext was Azerbaijan not Morocco as he claimed. In a similar vein, the 1972 poem Dawn examined the USA's McCarthy-era attacks on pacifist scientist Linus Pauling while unspokenly reflecting a similar sense of political paranoia in the Soviet Union. It laments how the Aras River has separated Azerbaijani-speaking people in the Azerbaijan SSR of the Soviet Union and Iran and is a symbol of the pan-Turkism doctrine, that seeks incorporation of the Turkic-speaking people of Iran. The poem is part of a literary genre conceived in the Azerbaijan SSR of the Soviet Union, the context of which is related to Iran's Azerbaijan region. This Soviet Azerbaijani literary genre, also referred to as "a literature of longing", had become dominant in the 1950s and 1960s in the Azerbaijan SSR.As a rule, works that belonged to this category, as the historian and political scientist Zaur Gasimov explains, "were examples of blatant Azerbaijani nationalism stigmatizing the “division” of the nation along the river Araxes, as well as


texts:
 denunciations of economic and cultural exploitation of Iranian Azerbaijanis, etc." Such themes, including the poem by <mask>, were incorporated into the history and literature curricula of the Azerbaijan SSR. Gasimov adds: "An important by-product of this literary genre was strongly articulated anti-Iranian rhetoric. Tolerance and even support of this anti-Iranian rhetoric by the communist authorities were obvious." <mask> Ses (The Second Sound, 1991), Yağışdan Sonra (After the Rain), Artığ Adam (Waste Man) and Vicdan (Conscience). Several works including İkinci Ses have been translated into Turkish by Yavuz Bülent Bakiler.Others include:

Translations

<mask> translated into Azerbaijani as Abydos gəlini, Lord Byron's 1813 work Bride of Abydon inspired by travels in Turkey. <mask>'s own poems have been translated into many languages in the Soviet Union as well as into many Turkic languages and into German, French and Persian. Political and Educational Life
For nearly 40 years, from 1951 till retirement in 1990, <mask> worked at Azerbaijan State University as a professor of “Contemporary Azerbaijani Literature”, albeit with two years gap. In 1980 he became both a member of the Azerbaijani Academy of Sciences and deputy of the Milli Majlis (parliament) of the Azerbaijan SSR. His rise in the political ranks of Soviet Azerbaijan was aided by penning titles such as his 1976 Leninlə Sohbet, but politically he had long been a noted nationalist, suffering a two-year expulsion from his university for publishing the 1959 poem Gulustan. <mask> is cited as one of the figures of the Azerbaijani intelligentsia whose pronouncements in 1988 contributed to the rising

Early years
<mask> was born in Ruppersdorf, one of a cluster of villages subsumed into Reichenberg (as it was then known) in north Bohemia, at that time an ethnically and linguistically German region in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Her father, like many in the area, was a textile worker. He later became a founder member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party ("Komunistická strana Československa" / KSČ), which some suggest must later have been helpful to his daughter in her own political career. After successfully concluding her schooling she moved on to a Teacher Training College and then embarked on a teaching career in nearby Neustadt. Following frontier changes mandated at the Congress of Versailles the  Austro-Hungarian Empire ceased to exist and Bohemia found itself part of the newly formed state of Czechoslovakia, although at this stage the area of North Bohemia where Effenberger liver remained ethnically and linguistically German. Effenberger joined the Young Communists in 1920 and in 1924, the year of her eighteenth birthday, the KSČ itself, working in her spare time as party secretary for the local party in Kratzau, and later undertaking similar work with the party regional leadership team (Bezirksleitung) in Reichenberg.In 1925 <mask> Effenberger became a member of the teachers' union, the ZdA (later the AfA-Bund). In 1928 she took a job with the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Communist Youth League ("Kommunistischen Jugendverbandes der Tschechoslowakei"). She took a leading role in building up the Young Pioneer organisation (for children) within the Communist Youth League. In 1928 she embarked on a course at the International Lenin School in Moscow. She returned to Czechoslovakia in 1931 and resumed party secretarial duties. In 1932 <mask> Effenberger  married <mask>. Hitler-Stalin years

 1933 had its knock-on effect in the German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia, and <mask> <mask> was briefly arrested.In 1934 she became secretary to the national executive of the Textile Workers' Union. During 1938 and 1939 Czechoslovakia was invaded and incorporated into an enlarged German state. During the middle part of the decade, with one-party rule brutally enforced in Germany, Czechoslovakia had become a favourite destination for exiled German communists, but non-Nazi political activists were now no safer in (former) Czechoslovakia than they would have been in post 1933 Germany. In 1938  or 1939 Rudolf and <mask> <mask> emigrated to the Soviet Union. In Moscow, like her husband, she initially took a job with International Red Aid (MOPR / "Международная организация помощи борцам революции" / МОПР), a Soviet sponsored communist welfare organisation, and with the Comintern, working at the Comintern Academy. In October 1941 she was redeployed to Bashkortostan. In the Soviet Union she was for a time editor at the "Sudetan Germans Freedom Radio" (""Sudetendeutschen Freiheitssender").Between September 1943 and August 1944 she worked for the "Supress" press agency, and between August 1944 and November 1945 she worked in Moscow for the "Press Service Institute Number 205", one of several organisations that had emerged from the ashes of Comintern after it was officially dissolved by Josef Stalin in 1943.

In December 1945, seven months after the formal end of the Second World War, <mask> <mask> returned from Moscow to Prague, joining her husband who had made the same journey seven months earlier. She relocated again in January 1946, moving to what had been administered, since the previous summer, as the Soviet occupation zone in Germany. She settled in Berlin and transferred into the Communist Party of Germany, taking a job with the party Central Committee.

She became editor in chief of the party newspaper Einheit ("Unity") and in 1946/47 of "Neuer Weg" ("New Way").Between 1947 and 1949 she was for most purposes out of action, seriously ill with Tuberculosis. Much of this time was spent in a sanatorium in Sülzhayn. From 1953 she was employed in the party's press office, and later in the Agitprop department of the Party Central Committee. Reflecting her husband's military connections she also worked on a free-lance basis for the Ministry of Defence. In 1959 her husband, who had himself been appointed a member of the Party Central Committee the previous year, retired from the People's Army and took up an appointment as the East German ambassador to the Soviet Union.

<mask> (; July 3, 1924 – October 28, 1975) was a powerful member of the Sicilian Mafia. Together with his brother <mask> he ruled the Mafia family of Palermo Centro. <mask> sat on the first Sicilian Mafia Commission that was set up in 1958 as the capo mandamento for Mafia families of Borgo Vecchio, Porta Nuova and Palermo Centro. Gaia Servadio, an English/Italian journalist who wrote a biography on <mask>, described him as the symbol of the quick, clever gangster. The new post-war mafioso who in the end became the victim of the many politicians he himself had built. He represented the proletariat who tried to become mafioso, middle class, and ultimately did not succeed. Mafia career
<mask> and <mask> were born in the slums of the neighbourhood of Partanna-Mondello in Palermo.Their father was an itinerant charcoal burner and vendor. They started with petty larceny and murder and raised themselves to become prominent leaders of a new generation of mafiosi in the 1950s and 1960s who made their fortune in real estate transactions, cigarette smuggling and heroin trafficking. The brothers were bent on transcending the indignities of their poverty. <mask> <mask> became the protégé of a local Mafia boss, and by 1952 they had organized a building supply company. They then murdered the right-hand man to the contractor Salvatore Moncada, so that they could become the construction entrepreneur’s lieutenants. By 1955 <mask> <mask> had become the vice-boss and de facto head of the Palermo Centro cosca. One of the La Barbera’s hitmen was Tommaso Buscetta, who subsequently became a pentito (collaborating witness) in 1984.Still in his thirties, <mask> <mask> began acting like a man of affairs, acquiring bulldozers, trucks and other construction equipment as well as apartment buildings. Generous and charming, he assumed the life style of a Chicago gangster of the 1930s, with new cars, luxurious clothes and frequent visits to Milan and Rome, where he stayed in the best hotels, surrounded by beautiful women.

 "arrogant and haughty". The <mask> brothers together with other upstart Mafia bosses like Pietro Torretta and their henchmen formed the so-called ‘New Mafia’ which adopted new gangster techniques. Other smaller cosche came to recognize the supremacy of these bosses – a supremacy achieved by sheer violence. Men who were starting their ‘careers’ in their shadow were forming into new generation of mafiosi; they had initiative, and the road to leadership of a cosca had suddenly become quicker and available to those who were fast with their tommy-guns. One of these upstarts was Tommaso Buscetta, another was Gerlando Alberti.Ties with politics
The new generation of mafiosi like <mask>a needed to create a new political base of their own, pushing forward new politicians through which they could influence control over regional corporations, credit banks and circumvent building regulations. <mask> <mask> had connections with local politicians of the Christian Democrat party (DC - Democrazia Cristiana) – in particular with Salvo Lima, the mayor of Palermo from 1958-1963. In 1964, during an investigation, Lima had to admit that he knew <mask> <mask>. According to Buscetta, Lima’s father, Vincenzo Lima, was a "man of honour" of the Palermo Centro Mafia family that was led by the <mask> brothers. Lima's election was supported by the La Barbera clan. Their candidate in the national parliament was Giovanni Gioia. Lima’s period as mayor of Palermo was later referred to as the "Sack of Palermo" because the construction boom led to the destruction of the city's green belt and villas that gave it architectural grace, to make way for characterless and shoddily constructed apartment blocks.In the meantime Palermo’s historical centre was allowed to crumble. The La Barbera's were connected to the leading construction entrepreneur Francesco Vassallo. In five years, 4,000 building licences were signed, more than half of them in the names of three pensioners who acted as front men and had no connection with construction at all. Heroin trafficking

 Barbera brothers were present at a series of meetings between top American and Sicilian mafiosi that took place in Palermo between October 12–16, 1957, in hotel Delle Palme in Palermo. Joseph Bonanno, Lucky Luciano, John Bonventre, Frank Garofalo, Santo Sorge and Carmine Galante were among the American mafiosi present, while among the Sicilian side there were Salvatore "Ciaschiteddu" Greco and his cousin Salvatore Greco "The Engineer", Giuseppe Genco Russo, Gaetano Badalamenti, Calcedonio Di Pisa and Tommaso Buscetta. One of the issues at the meetings was the organisation of heroin trafficking to the United States. In 1960 <mask> <mask> was spotted in Mexico City and subsequently expelled from the United States and Canada for allegedly organising trafficking in heroin.According to Buscetta, <mask>a tried to smuggle heroin from Mexico into the US, but was stopped by Carlo Gambino, the boss of the powerful Gambino crime family in New York City, who threatened to kill him if he would proceed. On the Commission
<mask> <mask> became a member of the first Sicilian Mafia Commission when it was set up somewhere in 1958. However, the La Barbera’s soon ran into trouble with the Commission, when the contractor Moncada (formerly La Barbera’s patron) complained before the Commission that the La Barberas overcharged him on building supplies. The Commission decided in Moncada’s favour and ordered <mask> <mask> to give up the leadership of the Palermo Centro family—which he refused to do. <mask> <mask> refused to recognize the authority of the Commission over his family altogether. First Mafia War
The <mask> brothers were the protagonists in a bloody conflict between rival clans in Palermo in the early 1960s. Known as the First Mafia War—a second started in the early 1980s—the struggle was about wresting control of Palermo’s rackets in the markets, sale of building-sites, construction and heroin trade to North America from the older Mafia.The conflict erupted over an underweight shipment of heroin.

 Ciaculli and the La Barbera brothers had financed the shipment. Suspicion fell on Calcedonio Di Pisa, who had collected the heroin for Manzella from the Corsican supplier, Pascal Molinelli, and had organised the transport to Manzella’s partners in New York. The case was brought before the Mafia Commission, but disagreement on how to handle it, and old hostility towards the La Barberas, led to a bloody conflict, between clans allied with the Grecos, headed by Salvatore Greco "Ciaschiteddu", and clans allied with the La Barberas. What sparked a series of attacks and counter-attacks was the killing of Di Pisa on December 26, 1962. The Grecos suspected Salvatore and <mask> <mask> of the attack, although the one behind it was in fact another mafioso, Michele Cavataio, as he tried to pit the Grecos and La Barberas against one another for his own goals. On January 17, 1963, <mask> <mask> disappeared and was never heard of again.<mask> <mask> also disappeared, but two weeks later he reappeared in Milan, in the north of Italy, giving a press conference. The involvement of the media in Mafia affairs was unheard of at the time. Meanwhile <mask> tried to retaliate, but the rival clans were closing in. On May 25, 1963, he was shot in Milan and severely wounded. He was arrested in the hospital. Buscetta admits to having accepted a contract to kill <mask> <mask>, but claims that someone else carried out the shooting in Milan before he could. On June 30, 1963, a car bomb in Ciaculli killed seven police and military officers sent to defuse it after an anonymous phone call.The outrage over the Ciaculli massacre changed the Mafia war into a war against the Mafia. It prompted the first concerted anti-Mafia efforts by the state in post-war Italy. The Sicilian Mafia Commission was dissolved and of those mafiosi who had escaped arrest many went abroad. Trial and death
<mask> <mask> was charged with seven murders. He was one of the few mafiosi who received a heavy sentence at the Trial of the 114 against the Mafia in Catanzaro in December 1968. He

In May 1970, a government decree established that defendants whose sentences had not yet become final after they had been held without bail for four to six years had to be released provisionally pending their appeals.<mask> was one of the benefactors and had to post USD 1,400 bail. Pending the appeal, he was sent into banishment in the North of Italy and later to Linosa, a remote island off the coast of Sicily. When he was finally locked up in a prison in Perugia in 1975 three mafiosi stabbed him to death on October 28, 1975. By then his power and influence had declined sharply. The Mafia family he had led was dissolved. According to newspaper reports the murder was probably ordered by the Greco cousins. Mafia expert and journalist Michele Pantaleone claimed that <mask> was eliminated because he might have threatened to reveal involvement of politicians with the Mafia.Biography
