<mask> (1837 – May 17, 1911) was a women's suffrage leader from Hillsdale, Michigan. From the late 1860s to the 1870s, Hazlett was said to be involved in secret societies in the Michigan area. Aligning herself with the Republican Party, she traveled through the United States, giving speeches advocating for women's rights and republican candidates. In 1870, <mask> was elected the president of the North Western Women's Suffrage Association. She appeared at several women's rights conventions during the 1870s, such as the Second Decade Meeting for the national women's rights movement, the Allen County Suffrage Society Convention, and the Michigan Convention, appearing alongside other women's suffragists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton. During 1886, she was an orator for Republican presidential candidate James Blaine and vice-presidential candidate John Logan. She was appointed postmistress in the Michigan Legislature in 1893 and continued to make speeches throughout the early 1890s.In 1911, Hazlett died at her niece's house in Addison, Michigan. Early life
Born the third child out of 7 in Wheatland, Michigan, <mask> <mask> was exposed to feminist sentiments at her time at Hillsdale College and Albion College. Marrying <mask> on May 1, 1858, the couple moved to Hillsdale, Michigan shortly after, where she would become most notable. She aligned herself with the Republican Party and advocated for them through speeches. Secret society

<mask> <mask> was an advocate for secret societies like the Freemasons. In 1867, the 5th volume of The Voice of Masonry and Tidings from the Craft, wrote that <mask> was giving a lecture entitled, "Secret Societies, Ancient and Modern." They also quote a contemporary who claimed that Hazlett was known as "the Champion Advocate of Secret Societies."She was also said to participate in secret societies, as later in 1874, The Knoxville Journal claimed that, "The Order of the Temple" was formed by Hazlett as a secret society for women. Three years later in 1877, she was said to have joined the "Sacred Temple," another women's society. Sacred Temple resembled freemasonry in terms of the way that it was organized but its mission was "intellectual and moral improvement of women." Activism (1870s-90s)

Speech endorsing women's enfranchisement 1871
At the Second Decade Meeting in 1871 for the national women's rights movement, <mask> <mask> was among several other well-known women's rights speakers from around the country, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Lucretia <mask>. Hazlett made a speech in Apollo Hall calling for women's suffrage. Using rhetorical questions about disrespect and injustice, Hazlett used this speech to support her fight for suffrage. Hazlett compares women to paupers and men to enslavers to make the point on women's disenfranchisement.The speech also compared women's status at the time to that of a caged bird and made the argument that a bird's nature does not change while being free. Hazlett stated, "The men of this Republic thus declare themselves the champions of liberty. But what of one half of America's own citizens? Bow your heads, oh ye law-makers, and blush for shame that ye place the crown of citizenship upon the brows of men, who are the off-shoots, the dregs, the scum of European Dynasties; yet practically say your own wives and daughters are not worthy to wear it! They have helped you to conquer independence, to protect if from rebellion and treason, and this is their reward. "Hazlett earned herself a reputation for being an impactful orator. The Chicago Tribune reported that <mask> was the "brightest speaker of the convention," because of this speech.Allen County Suffrage Society convention of 1871
Beulah and Lindley Ninde, temperance and women's rights activists, formed the Allen County Suffrage Society in 1871. The convention that followed in March promoting women's rights and saw suffrage as a solution to women's disenfranchisement. Catharine Waite, a Chicago women's rights activist and journalist, spoke with <mask> <mask> on equal opportunities for women. They argued that equal rights for women would not disrupt the women's domestic role in society but that they would allow women a way to support themselves. While the convention was successful with a large turnout, they were still met with resistance as Hazlett had expected. Michigan convention of 1874
In 1867, Michigan nearly granted women the right to vote but failed to pass it on a second vote. The question was brought back to public attention when Michigan delegates made women's suffrage a separate ballot question.Tension began to rise between suffrage movement leaders as suffragists from outside of Michigan came to help campaign for the passage of the ballot question. Since the beginning of the women's rights movement in Michigan, homegrown suffragists had led locally. Combining multiple personalities, approaches, and experiences of leaders from national movements complicated the campaign. When Susan B. Anthony attempted to give a speech in Hillsdale, the town Hazlett grew up in, Hazlett did not help organize any of it. After campaigning in the state, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony's actions were not well documented. The belief was that Hazlett had blocked press coverage for the two of them. Speeches and political life
M. <mask> Hazlett was discussed in newspapers from the Midwest ranging from the 1870s to the 1890s.They announced her upcoming speeches and meetings of the North Western Women's Suffrage Association, to which she was elected the president in 1870. Other speeches were connected to her affiliation with the Republican Party. Though she sometimes claimed to not be partisan, at other times she admitted to having Republican sympathies. In 1876, the Adrian Press accused Hazlett of having been paid to endorse the Republican Party, which she quickly denied in an article in the Hillsdale Standard. Continuing into the 1880s, Hazlett made speeches in favor of Republican candidates. In October of 1886, she was one of the Republican Orators for James Blaine and John Logan's campaign against Grover Cleveland. In 1887, she began holding a position at the general auditor's office.<mask> was elected the postmistress in 1893 as the Michigan legislature shifted to Republican domination. Death
<mask> <mask> had an accidental fall in 1910 and never fully recovered. She eventually died at her niece's house in Addison, Michigan, on May 17, 1911. An article about her death in the Detroit Times described her as a Republican speaker. References

, better known by his stage name TAKURO, is a Japanese musician and lyricist best known as one of the guitarists and leader of the rock band Glay, for which he is also the main composer and lyricist. As a musician and composer, <mask> has worked with different artists and has also released solo works. <mask> and his older sister were raised by a single mother, as she never remarried after his father's death, when Takuro was three years old. He considers his mother an early influence in his musical career, as he was strongly impressed by her singing. Biography

History

Later on, during his adolescence, he would be influenced by John Lennon, and would develop a great interest in writing lyrics. His lyrics are often based on his feelings about different situations in his life, as well as events in the world. Takuro often expresses his opinion on different issues, and has been invited to write about different topics by newspapers.In 2007 he wrote a series of articles about his homeland, Hakodate for the Asahi newspaper. In 2006, he was quoted in an article about new concepts of Japanese family models in the Mainichi website. Being raised in a single mother family, he expressed his personal experience. In 2001, together with Ryuichi Sakamoto, <mask> started the "Artists Power", an organization that brings together musicians interested in being active in the search of alternative energy. The EXPO 2001 concert in Ishikari, Hokkaido, had part of its energy generated by alternative fuel and a booth displaying the generators could be seen. In 2003 Takuro released "Kyoukai", an auto-biographical book, in which he writes about his personal life and his musical work. The topics are his childhood in Hakodate and his career; among the subjects is a mysterious woman who he loved for ten years and who turned him down when he proposed marriage to her and for whom he wrote many of his love songs.In 2005, <mask> ended his radio show on Tokyo FM, "Glay Radio Communication DX", which he had started in 2003. Previously, he hosted another show, "Takuro Radio Factory". Personal life
<mask> married the Japanese model Seri Iwahori in May 2004. He was introduced to her during the shooting of the movie Casshern, in which he made a short cameo with Hisashi in 2003. They have a son, born in October 2005 and a daughter, born in October 2007. They own a house in Los Angeles, California and also one in Tokyo. Solo albums

<mask> (born May 7, 1939) is a Canadian-American molecular biologist, who is the Sterling Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Chemistry at Yale University. In 1989 he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Thomas R. Cech for their work on the catalytic properties of RNA. Family and education
<mask> was born on May 7, 1939, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. His parents, Ray (Arlin), a textile worker, and <mask>, a grocer, were immigrants to Canada, each coming from Eastern Europe as a young adult, in the 1920s. <mask>'s mother was from Białystok in Poland, and had come to Canada with her sister at the age of eighteen, learning English and working in a textile factory to earn money to bring the rest of their family to Quebec. <mask>'s father, born in Ukraine, had been a worker on a collective farm in the Soviet Union. He was sponsored to come to Canada as a farm worker, but later, as a husband and a father of two sons, he supported the family by running a small grocery store in Montreal.<mask> was later to look back on his parents' lives as an illustration of the value of the work ethic: "It was from them I learned that hard work in stable surroundings could yield rewards, even if only in infinitesimally small increments." As <mask> reached adulthood, the family's financial situation had become secure enough that he was able to pursue a college education. He went to the United States to study physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While at MIT, he was a member of the ice hockey team. After achieving his bachelor's degree from MIT in 1960, <mask> spent 18 months as a graduate student in physics at Columbia University. Due to personal concerns and the lack of opportunity for beginning graduate students to participate in laboratory work, he left the program without completing the degree. Some months later, he enrolled as a graduate student in biophysics at the University of Colorado Medical Center.His project was a study of the effects of acridines on the replication of bacteriophage T4 DNA. He received his Ph.D. in biophysics from the University of Colorado in 1967 with thesis advisor Leonard Lerman; Lerman went in 1967 to Vanderbilt University, where <mask> worked briefly as a researcher in molecular biology before leaving for Harvard. <mask> was married to Ann M. Körner (daughter of Stephan Körner) in 1972. They are the parents of two children, Daniel and Leah. Having lived primarily in the United States since departing Montreal to attend MIT in 1958, <mask> became a U.S. citizen in 1984, maintaining dual citizenship as a Canadian citizen as well. Career
After receiving his Ph.D., <mask> embarked upon the first of two research fellowships. He joined Matthew Meselson's laboratory at Harvard University to study a DNA endonuclease involved in the replication and recombination of T4 DNA.Later, at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, <mask> started the work that led to the discovery of RNase P and the enzymatic properties of the RNA subunit of that ribozyme. John D. Smith, as well as several postdoctoral colleagues, provided <mask> with very good advice that enabled him to test his ideas. "The discovery of the first radiochemically pure precursor to a tRNA molecule enabled me to get a job as an assistant professor at Yale University in 1971, a difficult time to get any job at all". <mask>'s career at Yale followed a standard academic pattern with promotion through the ranks until he became Professor in 1980. He was Chairman of his department from 1983 to 1985 and in 1985 became the Dean of Yale College for four years. On July 1, 1989, he returned to the post of Professor on a full-time basis. His doctoral students include Ben Stark.While at Yale, <mask>'s Nobel Prize work came with the analysis of the catalytic properties of the ribozyme RNase P, a ribonucleoprotein particle consisting of both a structural RNA molecule and one (in prokaryotes) or more (in eukaryotes) proteins. Originally, it was believed that, in the bacterial RNase P complex, the protein subunit was responsible for the catalytic activity of the complex, which is involved in the maturation of tRNAs. During experiments in which the complex was reconstituted in test tubes, <mask> and his group discovered that the RNA component, in isolation, was sufficient for the observed catalytic activity of the enzyme, indicating that the RNA itself had catalytic properties, which was the discovery that earned him the Nobel Prize. Although the RNase P complex also exists in eukaryotic organisms, his later work revealed that in those organisms, the protein subunits of the complex are essential to the catalytic activity, in contrast to the bacterial RNase P.

Recognition
<mask> was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1988 and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1990. Bibliography

<mask>, né <mask> (born 12 August 1937) is a Swedish actor. He is known for having starred in several films directed by Bo Widerberg, and was often considered one of the foremost Swedish film and theatre actors from the early 1960s to the mid-2000s when he retired. He starred in the Oscar nominated Raven's End (1963), directed by Widerberg. He also starred in the 1992 Sunday's Children, which was directed by Daniel Bergman and written by Ingmar Bergman. Early life
<mask> was born on 12 August 1937, in Mölndal, Sweden, an impoverished working class district. His father, a sailor by trade and a socialist, was supportive of and heavily involved with the worker's rights movement in Sweden. His mother was employed at the local factory and was similarly politically inclined.When he was born, he suffered with a disease of the lungs, which caused him to have to stay in a hospital facility for one year. <mask> also had to deal with the fact that his father was severely alcoholic. In Stefan Jarl's 2002 film The Bricklayer, a documentary about <mask>'s life and career, he recounted an incident in which he had walked a great distance to meet his father at a train station, only to discover that he had not kept the appointment with his son. Instead, he had remained in town drinking. <mask> later defended his father, stating that although he was an alcoholic he was not aggressive or abusive in any way as a result, and that both of his parents were well-meaning people. In The Bricklayer, <mask>'s stories and anecdotes of his parents are told with love and humor. Eventually, it was his father, and his early life spent among the poor and the working class, that proved to be the greatest influences on his career as an actor.Career

Stage
After a visit to a local movie theatre at a young age, <mask> fell in love with acting but did not pursue it as a career. During adolescence, he followed his father's tailoring trade and then spent two years at sea. Returning home, he took work in a factory just as his mother had done. However, his desire to act remained with him, and he began to study acting at the Pickwickklubbens theatre school in Gothenburg, which offered lessons to city locals. He made his stage debut at the age of seventeen at the Atelier, a tiny theatre situated directly above a bowling alley. He worked there for two years, until 1956, when he was accepted into Gothenburg City Theatre's drama course. He excelled and became a premier student, completing the course in 1958.Soon after, he was engaged as a regular player at the Gothenburg City Theatre, where he worked until 1961, when he was granted a position with the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. In his first role there he portrayed Nick in Ingmar Bergman's production of Edward Albee's play Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf. In 1993, he made his debut as a director at the Royal Dramatic Theatre with Harold Pinter's The Homecoming. He later directed plays at the Stockholm City Theatre, including August Strindberg's Miss Julie and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Film and television
In 1961, <mask> made his film debut in Pärlemor. In 1962 he met aspiring director Bo Widerberg, who became his good friend and one of his most important collaborators. Like <mask>, Widerberg strongly believed that films needed to focus on human relationships, have a greater political significance, and be socially conscious.As early as 1960, <mask> declared in an interview that he only wanted to do films that he could truly stand for, to play people who developedan attitude he has maintained through the years. In Widerberg he found a perfect working partner. Their first feature together, Barnvagnen, about a woman who chooses single parenthood instead of marriage, reflected those goals. The two continued their successful partnership with 1963's Raven's End, a portrait of working class life in 1930's Sweden. <mask> portrayed Anders, a young aspiring writer who finds his hopes and dreams dashed upon the reality of an impoverished existence. In 1966, <mask> was awarded the Guldbagge, the Swedish equivalent of the Oscar, for Widerberg's Heja Roland!, although the film did not receive the same acclaim afforded to its predecessors. But the following year, he and Widerberg embarked on a film that would bring them both international fame, 1967's Elvira Madigan.The film was based upon the real life romance of Lt. Sixten Sparre and the circus performer Elvira Madigan. In 1889, the pair willfully abandoned their respective lives for each other, but after spending a brief time in Denmark, the couple exhausted their limited finances and the doomed relationship ended in suicide. Widerberg shot the film on a low budget, in natural light and without a script, allowing the actors to improvise freely and to take their time delivering their dialogue. His desire was to make the film appear as if it were a documentary of the couple's romance. After the success of Elvira Madigan, financially tempting offers began to pour in for <mask>, including the opportunity to sign a lucrative contract with Paramount Pictures in Hollywood. However, he once again defied convention by rejecting those offers because their weak scripts did not measure up to his goals. He openly questioned why so many Swedish actors would dream of making it big in America, and when questioned about his uncompromising nature in 2006, <mask> stated:

I am an artist and I like being one.I belong to a special group of people. I would not compare myself with Van Gogh, Matisse, Munch, Strindberg, or Dostoevsky, but I may be on the same boat, I know. So the talent I have, I have tried to manage. Then you tend to become stubborn and you wish to implement what you believe through your art, otherwise you are not an artist, at least you don't achieve the color and the magic that you would hope for. I see it as a necessary nicety to not have to compromise. <mask> continued to focus on mainly Swedish productions, including a 1969 television adaptation of August Strindberg's play Miss Julie, about the class struggle between a count's daughter and his man servant, Jean. <mask> portrayed the role of Jean.In 1971, he worked once again with Bo Widerberg in a tribute to labor, Joe Hill, a film based upon the life of the Swedish–American agitator who helped to forward the worker's rights movement in the early 1900s. Passionately proletarian, it elevated the already well known Hill to legendary status with its sympathetic portrayal. <mask>'s career on stage and screen continued to be influenced heavily by the "underdog syndrome", a fact he openly discussed in Jarl's The Bricklayer. His desire to portray outsiders in society remained apparent in his choice of film roles, from 1975's Giliap, in which he portrays a waiter with a longing to escape his life, to 1986's Gosta Berlings Saga where his role was that of an alcoholic clergyman. He also continued to work with Widerberg on several projects, including a 1988 television adaptation of Strindberg's The Father. In 1999, while preparing for the opening of a play, <mask> suffered a heart ailment in which one of the valves began to malfunction. The illness caused him to drop out of the play and then to retire from the stage.In 2003, he appeared in his last film Kontorstid, about the often empty and meaningless routine of work and daily life. He stated that he felt as if the film and television industry were no longer creating quality work the way that they once did. However, he still dreamed of returning to the stage as an actor, his one true passion. In later years, he devoted himself to periodically directing plays at the Stockholm City Theatre and to his family. Often considered to be one of Sweden's best and most gifted actors, Bo Widerberg once described the Berggren "magic" as "stage presence", his sorrowful eyes and intensely emotional style effectively portraying societal outsiders like Lt. Sparre and Joe Hill. However, in spite of his reputation, he did not appear to suffer from a feeling of self-importance or artistic snobbery. His most recent project was a collaboration with Stefan Jarl on the screenplay of his 2013 documentary Goodness!The film focuses on the moral decline within economics. <mask> also appeared in the film, both as himself and in character, portraying the role of a greedy miser. Personal life
Citing the fact that he is "child-like" as one of his best personal traits, <mask> always loved children and desired to have his own. This desire had grown so great over the years that he said he felt as if he were "withering away" from the lack of being a father. In the mid-1990s, his need was finally met with the birth of a son to him and wife Monika Ahlberg, a chef, cookbook author and restaurant reviewer. A few years later the couple also had twin girls. He lives with his family in Stockholm, Sweden, in Djurgården.When questioned why he waited to have children, he stated that he "matured late", but that his family had come to mean more to him than he could have ever imagined. He said that he has never put his children to sleep at night without telling them that he loves them. He also has a great love for art, citing Vincent van Gogh as one of his favorite artists. He stated that he has spent more time in the company of painters than actors. Political views
My father is my inspiration. He always said, "Thommy make sure that you have something meaningful to do, that you are helping people". I still respect him for that.<mask>'s political views appear to be in keeping with those of his parents, and he has used his career as a mirror to reflect those beliefs, stating that he is like a bricklayer building upon the foundation that has been laid down by his father. His parents were well known both for their socialist leanings and for their desire to help improve the condition of the lives of those around them. They also appear to have leaned toward pacifism, and <mask> has stated that he does not wish to be a part of any film which glorifies violence. <mask>'s father believed that acting and the theatre were "immaterial" and, as such, he encouraged his son to be "a better actor than the rest", if this were to be his career choice. <mask> took this wish a step further, by making his roles a type of "love letter" to his father's fervent commitment, a commitment that they seem to share. According to the publication Expressen, his motivation can best be summed up in his own words from the aforementioned interview that he gave in 2006. When it was noted that the class struggle had been one of his strongest driving forces in his early work and even today, he responded with the following:

It is with me and it is within Persbrandt and it was in Strindberg.We're working boys. Awards

<mask> (26 March 1888 – 4 March 1948) was a Swedish nurse and philanthropist. She was known as the "Angel of Siberia" (). Life and commitment

<mask> was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia. She was the daughter of the Military Attaché at the Swedish Embassy, Edvard Brändström (1850-1921) and his wife Anna Wilhelmina Eschelsson (1855-1913). In 1891, when <mask> was three years old, Edvard Brändström and his family returned to Sweden. In 1906, Brändström, now a General, became the Swedish Ambassador at the court of Tsar Nicholas II and returned to St Petersburg. <mask> spent her childhood in Linköping in Sweden.From 1906 to 1908, she studied at Anna Sandström Teachers Training College (Anna Sandströms högre lärarinneseminarium)  in Stockholm but returned to St. Petersburg in 1908. Her mother died in 1913. <mask> was in St. Petersburg at the outbreak of World War I and volunteered for a position as a nurse in the Imperial Russian Army. World War I
In 1915, <mask> went to Siberia together with her friend and nurse Ethel von Heidenstam (1881-1970) for the Swedish Red Cross, to introduce basic medical treatment for the German and Austrian POWs. Up to 80 percent of the POWs died of cold, hunger and diseases. As <mask> visited the first camp and witnessed the inhumane situation, she decided to dedicate her life to these soldiers. The men from Germany and Austria, so many close to death with Typhoid fever, looked upon the tall, blue-eyed, blond-haired nurse and benefactress  and she became known as the "Angel of Siberia".Back in St. Petersburg, she began the establishment of a Swedish Aid organisation. Her work was severely hindered by the outbreak of the October Revolution in the year 1917. In 1918, the Russian authorities withdrew her work permit, but she did not give up. Between 1919 and 1920, she made several trips to Siberia until she was arrested in Omsk and even condemned to death for spying, later the sentence was revoked and Brändström was interned in 1920. After her release, she returned to Sweden (via Stettin with the ship MS Lisboa, where the German government gave her an official public reception) and organised fund-raising for the former POWs and their families. Afterwards she emigrated to Germany. Peacetime
In 1922 her book  Bland krigsfångar i Ryssland och Sibirien was published.It was later translated and published as Among prisoners of war in Russia & Siberia (London: Hutchinson. 1929). From then onwards she looked after former POWs in a rehabilitation sanatorium for homecoming German soldiers at Marienborn-Schmeckwitz in Saxony. She bought a mill named "Schreibermühle" close to Lychen in Uckermark  and used it as re-socialization centre for former POWs. Schreibermühle had extensive lands including fields, forest and meadows on which potatoes and other crops could be grown. This was most useful at that time because the German Mark was an unstable currency and lost value from day to day. In 1923, she undertook a six-month tour in the United States, giving lectures to raise money for a new home for children of deceased and traumatised German and Austrian POWs.On her trip she raised US$100,000 and traveled to 65 towns. At a stop at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, Brändström wore clothing of the Swedish Red Cross and "spoke about her thrilling experiences in Russia and Siberia during and after the war." In January 1924, she founded a children's home "Neusorge" in Mittweida which had room for more than 200 orphans and children in need. In Siberia she had promised many German soldiers, who were dying, that she would care for their children. In 1929 she married her great love Heinrich Gottlob Robert Ulich, a German Professor of Pedagogy. Afterwards, she moved together with him to Dresden. In 1931, she sold the "Schreibermühle" and donated her other home, Neusorge, to the Welfare Centre in Leipzig.She founded the "Elsa Brändström Foundation for Women" which awarded scholarships to children from Neusorge. On 3 January 1932, her daughter Brita was born in Dresden. In 1933, Robert Ulich accepted a lectureship at Harvard University and in consequence the family moved to the USA. Here <mask> gave aid to newly arrived German and Austrian refugees. In 1939, she opened the "Window-Shop", a restaurant which gave work opportunities for refugees in Cambridge, Massachusetts. World War II
At the end of World War II, she started to raise funds for starving and shelterless women and children in need in Germany through the organisations CARE International (Co-operative for American Relief in Europe) and CRALOG (Council of Relief Agencies Licensed for Operation in Germany). Sizable funds were collected from Americans and especially from German Americans, who accounted for >25% of the American population.She undertook a final lecture tour in Europe on behalf of the "Save the Children Fund". Death
<mask> could not undertake her last planned journey to Germany because of illness. She died in 1948 of bone cancer in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the age of 59. While her daughter Brita stayed with her husband and children in the USA, her husband Robert returned to Germany, where he died in 1977 at Stuttgart. Honours and memory
Because of her commitment to POWs, <mask> became famous as a "patron saint" for soldiers. In Germany and Austria, many streets, schools and institutions are named after her. "The war has brought about many heroines in various nations, but in my opinion, never again someone, who is more worthy of being honoured than <mask>."– General Alfred Knox, British Military Attaché in Russia. Among countless medals, awards and honours, Brändström was awarded the Silber Badge of the German Empire () and the Golden Seraphim Medal (). <mask> was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize "Heroine of Peace" five times: in 1922, twice in 1923, 1928 and 1929. In Memory of <mask>
A ceremony at Arne-Karlsson-Park in Vienna on 16 September 1965 preceded the official opening of the XXth International Conference of the Red Cross. In the presence of Austrian civilian and military authorities, members of the Swedish colony, leaders of the Austrian Red Cross and many conference delegates, a monument to <mask> was unveiled. This monument, by the sculptor Robert Ullmann, stands as a testimony of gratitude to the famous Swedish nurse's work for German-Austrian prisoners during the First World War. Work

Admiral <mask>, GCB (27 July 1754 – 3 April 1834) was a senior, long-serving veteran officer of the British Royal Navy during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. He saw action in the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars, being wounded several times and once captured by American forces after a shipwreck. During the wreck, his conduct towards American prisoners aboard his ship was considered so exemplary that the American authorities later released him without parole or exchange. During the later conflict, Thornbrough won praise for taking his frigate into the thick of the action at the Glorious First of June, towing the shattered HMS Bellerophon to safety after she was isolated by several French ships of the line. Later, Thornbrough became a senior admiral in both the Channel Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet under Cuthbert Collingwood, who held him in high esteem. He retired in 1818 and settled in Devon with his third wife, dying in 1834. Early career
Thornbrough was born in 1754, the son of Commander <mask> and <mask>.With a father in the Navy, young <mask>'s career was destined, especially given his close proximity in his early life to the sea; he was born on Plymouth Dock. Thornbrough joined his father at sea in 1761, as captain's servant on HMS Arrogant, and spent two years in the Mediterranean becoming used to the sea. Aged nine in 1763, he attended school whilst being on the books of HMS Firm. He returned to the sea in 1768 aboard HMS Temeraire with his father. The ship was commanded by <mask> Cras. Thornbrough would later marry two of Le Cras's daughters. Temeraire was guardship at Portsmouth, and in the time of peace this was a monotonous duty.<mask> therefore moved around several ships to broaden his education, traveling to Gibraltar and spending time on HMS Albion. He moved to HMS Captain with his father and in 1771 they sailed for Boston. For two more years the ship acted as guardship in the American port and also provided a floating headquarters for Admiral John Montagu. <mask> performed a brief independent cruise in HMS Cruizer, but the service was otherwise uneventful and he returned to Britain with Captain in 1774. American Revolutionary War
In 1775, at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, Thornbrough returned to North America in the sloop HMS Falcon as second in command. Falcon participated in the bombardment of rebel positions during the Battle of Bunker Hill, and in August Thornbrough was badly wounded in a failed attempt to seize an American schooner from Cape Ann harbour. Invalided to Britain, Thornbrough recovered in 1776 and joined the frigate HMS Richmond off the Eastern Seaboard.In 1779 he was transferred to HMS Garland and escorted a convoy to Newfoundland. Returning to Europe in 1780, <mask> joined the frigate HMS Flora and in her participated in the capture of the French frigate Nymphe after a long and bloody action. As consequence of his part in this engagement, Thornbrough was promoted to commander and took over the hired vessel HMS Britannia escorting a convoy to New York City. On arrival, <mask> was again promoted to post captain and took over captaincy of the frigate HMS Blonde. In 1782, Blonde captured an American brig and attempted to tow her to Halifax, Nova Scotia. During the operation the ship became lost in fog and Blonde was wrecked on a rocky islet whilst the brig continued to Halifax. On the islet, Thornbrough made sure that the American prisoners from the brig were given the same standards of treatment as the British sailors.When the survivors were rescued by two American ships a few days later, the American authorities were so impressed with his behaviour that they conveyed him to New York and released him without conditions as a reward. Returning to Britain, <mask> was to be given the ship of the line HMS Egmont, but the end of the war prevented this. French Revolutionary Wars
The ten years of peace following the American war resulted in many officers entering semi-retirement on half-pay. <mask> however was given the prize frigate HMS Hebe and had Prince William Henry on board as a lieutenant. Although the Prince was a notoriously difficult officer to serve alongside, Thornbrough became friends with his subordinate, whose patronage would help him with his future career. Thornbrough married Ann Le Cras in 1784, and Prince William requested that their first son was to be named after him. The son would later become Lieutenant William Henry <mask>, but died in 1798 aged 14.The couple would also have another son, <mask> Cras <mask>, who became an admiral and four daughters. Also in 1784, <mask>'s father died. In 1790 during the Spanish armament, <mask> briefly took over HMS Scipio. At the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, Thornbrough requested and received command of the frigate HMS Latona. In November 1793, Thornbrough engaged several French ships of the line in a vain attempt to delay them until British warships could arrive to challenge them. In May 1794, Latona was a scout for the Channel Fleet under Lord Howe during the Atlantic campaign of May 1794. The campaign resulted in the Glorious First of June, when Latona was initially used as a repeating ship to relay Howe's signals down the British line.Later in the action however, <mask> was called on to take his relatively diminutive ship through the battle lines to rescue the shattered HMS Bellerophon which was being pounded by several large French ships. Latona not only reached Bellerophon, but then drove off the French battleships with her small broadsides and took the dismasted Bellerophon in tow to safety, all without suffering a casualty. <mask> then took command of the ship of the line HMS Robust with the Channel Fleet, participated in the ill-fated 1795 invasion of Quiberon Bay with French Royalist forces. The operation was a failure and Robust was also engaged in its desperate evacuation. Three years later, Thornbrough participated in another invasion, this time thwarting a French attempt to land troops in Ireland. At the Battle of Donegal, Sir John Borlase Warren's squadron, including Robust, destroyed a French troops convoy off Tory Island to the north of Ireland. As reward, Thornbrough was given the thanks of parliament and took over the 90-gun HMS Formidable, flagship of Sir Charles Cotton.Formidable then entered the Mediterranean and spent several months searching for an elusive enemy fleet. Napoleonic Wars
In 1801, <mask> became a rear-admiral and commanded the inshore squadron off Brest in his flagship HMS Mars. In 1801 his first wife died and a year later, <mask> married Elizabeth Jeynes of Bristol. With the renewal of war in 1803, <mask> was given command of The Downs under Viscount Keith and later was fleet captain to Lord Gardner. In 1805 he was in HMS Kent on his way to join Nelson's fleet off Cadiz when he heard of the Battle of Trafalgar. That year he was promoted to vice-admiral and led the independent blockade of Rochefort and later a squadron in the English Channel from HMS Prince of Wales. A period of ill-health required a brief shore leave in 1807, but he was soon back at sea, in HMS Royal Sovereign.For the next three years he was second in command to Lord Collingwood in the Mediterranean but returned to Britain in December 1809 due to ill-health shortly before his commander's death. Both Collingwood and Earl St Vincent admired his spirit, professional skill and bravery, but the latter considered that Thornbrough was too indecisive to make a good fleet commander. Retirement
From 1810 until 1813, Thornbrough busied himself in command of the Cork Station. In 1813 he again briefly retired as a full admiral and in 1815 was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in recognition of his long service. In 1813 his second wife had died and again he remarried less than a year later, to Frances Le Cras, younger sister of his first wife. Between 1815 and 1818, Thornbrough served as Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth and he retired for good in 1818 after just under 50 years of service in the Navy, an exceptionally long career. Thornbrough lived the rest of his life at Bishopsteignton Lodge in Devon.In 1825 he was made a Knight Grand Cross. He was however active in naval circles and became Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom and Lieutenant of the Admiralty in 1833 during his retirement. He died at home in 1834. See also

<mask> "Doc" <mask> (March 22, 1808March 13, 1873) was an American pioneer, doctor, and businessman. He was one of Seattle's primary founders. He was an effective civic booster and, compared to other white settlers, a relative advocate of Native American rights. His friendship with Chief Seattle was important in the formation of the city of Seattle, and it was he who proposed the city be named for this important chief. <mask> was Seattle's first doctor, merchant prince, second lawyer, Sub-Indian Agent, Justice of the Peace, and architect of the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855. Early life
<mask> was born to a family of means near Castleton, Vermont. At the age of 17 he was accepted into Castleton Medical School (which at the time was associated with Middlebury College).He was top in his class and apprenticed to Dr. Theodore Woodward (not to be confused with Dr. Theodore E. Woodward). In 1828 he married Lydia A. Rickey; they had a daughter, Frances, in 1830 and a son, Henry, in 1834. According to court papers, he discovered in 1841 that she was unfaithful to him but remained with her until 1850. In 1832, the <mask>s moved to Cleveland, Ohio, at the time a town of 500. He made and lost small fortunes in business and political ventures including railroading and a medical school that collapsed in the Panic of 1837. <mask> left Cleveland in 1850, either promising to send for his family when he was settled elsewhere, or giving Lydia the chance to file for divorce on the grounds of desertion; either way, she never actually completed the divorce. <mask> took the railroad to St. Louis, and from there set out for California.He circulated among several wagon trains fighting cholera, which he had learned about during the 1849 epidemic in Cleveland. When the leader of one small wagon train heading for Oregon Territory died, he assumed leadership and thus ended up on Puget Sound. He and widow Catherine Troutman Broshears (June 19, 1816 - Oct 20, 1906) fell in love during their journey; however her brother, Mike Simmons, refused them permission to marry, perhaps on the grounds that <mask> was still married. Early ventures in Seattle
<mask> joined in the logging activity at New York-Alki (later Seattle), near the mouth of the Duwamish River on Puget Sound. Instead of selling his wood to shippers at $4 a cord, he leased a vessel from Captain Felker, using the wood itself as security, and sold the load in San Francisco at ten times the price. With that money, he bought the fixings for a general store and briefly set up in competition to the only other such store on Puget Sound, which was in Olympia and owned by Catherine's brother. Mike soon agreed to his sister marrying <mask>, apparently on condition that they move the store to Duwamps and do something about that prior marriage.In April 1852, <mask> claimed, as a married man, a tract of land of 640 acres in what is now Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood, and hired Indians to help him build a combination cabin and store. According to historian Bill Speidel, the land he preferred was the undeveloped southern part of Carson Boren's claim, but while Boren was out of town, Arthur Denny shifted Carson's claim north to make room for <mask>. <mask>'s building became a hub of activity when <mask> became King County's first Justice of the Peace. <mask> laid out streets in his claim according to the cardinal directions (north/south) but Boren and Denny insisted on orienting the streets according to their stretch of shoreline. Seattle's downtown still shows awkward bends and jogs where the plats meet, but the rest of King County follows <mask>'s original design. In reference to the disagreement Arthur Denny would go on to comment that "<mask> was king of all he surveyed, and some of what Boren and I surveyed as well." In a study conducted by the City of Seattle in the 1930s it was determined that Denny has platted his streets in violation of donation land claim law under which the original land claims were filed.<mask>'s character and approach to city-building differed from that of his contemporaries William Bell, Arthur Denny, <mask>, Henry Yesler, and Carson Boren. In part, this may have been because he was much older and had already participated in the development of one city. He drank liquor (while the Denny Party were mostly teetotalers) and, with his friend Captain Felker, found someone to start a good brothel in Seattle — the infamous Mother Damnable — believing that vice was essential to the economic success of a frontier town of that time. <mask>'s political skills helped defuse difficult situations with the Indian tribes, in particular between the Duwamish and the more powerful Snohomish, led by Chief Patkanim. As  part of his diplomacy, <mask> worked to rename the settlement after the Duwamish's leader, Chief Sealth (or "Seattle") in exchange for an annual payment to Sealth (local legend has it that the tribes believed having one's name spoken after their death would disturb the named one in the afterlife; hence the payoff to Sealth to make up for that in advance). This friendly relationship paid off during the Battle of Seattle (1856) when both Sealth and Patkanim kept their fighters out of the battle. <mask> was one of 44 delegates to attend the Monticello Convention in 1852.His political skills were helpful in drafting a Memorial to Congress persuading the legislature to divide the Oregon Territory and create a separate Washington Territory, north of the Columbia River; in return, the legislature passed an unusual bill granting <mask> a divorce. He married Catherine on January 15, 1853. <mask> developed many clever ways to improve his property and his city. For example, he obtained the right to host the post office at his store; as a result, everyone had to come to his establishment to get their mail. He sold a lot cheaply to blacksmith Lewis Wyckoff; people needing smithing therefore came to Seattle instead of its rival Port Madison. Perhaps his greatest coup was persuading Henry Yesler to set up a steam sawmill on land sliced from the north part of <mask>'s claim and the south part of Boren's. This sawmill helped establish Seattle's economic ascendancy.When the only lawyer in Seattle died in a canoeing accident, <mask> studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1856. In 1857, <mask> traded his "downtown" acreage for Charles C. Terry's farm in West Seattle, but this new enterprise did not prosper; he and Catherine then opened a two-room hospital in what is now Pioneer Square. This enterprise failed because a number of settlers refused to use the hospital after the <mask>s insisted on serving both whites and Indians. Later life

<mask> was known as a friend to the Indians; when Washington became a territory in 1853 <mask> was appointed as the man in charge of Indian relations. During the Seattle Indian war <mask> protected the natives and ensured that they did not starve. Although <mask> was originally one of the city's largest landholders and strongest boosters, he is considered not to have prospered as well as his contemporaries. Among the reasons given for this are that his friendly relations with Chief Seattle and other natives made him suspect to his fellow settlers.The surviving city fathers minimized his role in their reminiscences in response to <mask>'s autocratic rule of early Seattle. At any rate, he died in a mansion furnished with every comfort. It is important to note that <mask>'s stated purpose was not to get rich but rather to build the greatest city in the world. Near the end of his life, <mask>'s first wife Lydia sold any rights she may have had in <mask>'s property to a person who promptly sued <mask> for Lydia's share of <mask>'s property in Seattle (claiming that they had never been divorced; while he was still married when he built his fortune, the common law is not entirely clear as to her claim). Lydia arrived penniless in Seattle to testify on <mask>'s behalf; he and Catherine let her stay in their mansion on friendly terms. As Bill Speidel has written, <mask> was seen strolling around town, the only man in Seattle with a wife on either arm. The ultimate result of this land dispute is that the east half of <mask>'s claim reverted to public land, as neither of his wives had satisfied their requirements for their share; the legal battle passed through several hands until it was ultimately decided against all the Maynards in the United States Supreme Court case of <mask> v. Hill.See also

<mask> (November 5, 1899 – December 13, 1973) was an American soldier and general in the first half of the 20th century. He is best known for his role as Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army in the South West Pacific Area during World War II and in the Occupation of Japan. He was wounded while leading American troops from the front at the Battle of Buna-Gona, and also played an important part in the fighting at Lone Tree Hill, Biak, and the Philippines campaign (1944–45). After the war, he commanded the famous 82nd Airborne Division. He commanded the X Corps in the Korean War and as such was in overall command at the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge and the Battle of Bloody Ridge. Education and early life

<mask>, OBE, DL (born 8 June 1967) is an English musician, noted for her mastery of the Northumbrian smallpipes and fiddle. Music career

Early life
<mask> was born in Walsall, then in Staffordshire, to parents who originated from Northumberland and who moved back there with the family when <mask> was seven. Her paternal grandfather played accordion, fiddle, and organ. Her father, <mask>, sang and her mother played the concertina. Her first instrument was piano when she was six. A year later, she picked up a set of Northumbrian smallpipes brought home by her father, who intended them for someone else. Frustrated by fiddle and piano, she learned that the pipes rewarded her effort.She was inspired by older musicians such as Willy Taylor, Will Atkinson, Joe Hutton, and Billy Pigg. Performing and recording
At thirteen, she had gained a reputation from performing in festivals and winning pipe contests. When she was seventeen, she released her first album, On Kielder Side (Saydisc, 1984), which she recorded at her parents' house. During the same year, she was named Official Piper to the Lord Mayor of Newcastle, an office that had been vacant for 150 years. She formed the Kathryn Tickell Band, with Karen Tweed on accordion, bass, and guitar, and released the band's first album in 1991 on Black Crow Records. Later, the band comprised <mask> on fiddle, Julian Sutton on melodeon, and Joss Clapp on guitar. In 2001, the Kathryn Tickell Band was the first band to play traditional folk music at the Promenade Concerts in London.She recorded with the Penguin Cafe Orchestra when it was led by Simon Jeffes. She met Jeffes while she was in her teens, and he wrote the song "Organum" for her. After Jeffes's death, she played with the Orchestra again over a decade later when it was run by his son, Arthur. <mask> has also recorded with The Chieftains, The Boys of the Lough, Jimmy Nail, Linda Thompson, Alan Parsons, and Andy Sheppard. She has performed live with Sting, who is also from Newcastle upon Tyne, and has recorded with him on his albums The Soul Cages (1991), Ten Summoner's Tales (1993), Mercury Falling (1996), Brand New Day, (1999), If on a Winter's Night (2009), and The Last Ship (2013). Two ex-members of the North East England traditional music group the High Level Ranters have appeared on her albums: Tom Gilfellon on On Kielder Side and Alistair Anderson on Borderlands (1986). The latter album included to a tribute to the Wark football team.Several other pipers have appeared on her albums: Troy Donockley on Debatable Lands, Patrick Molard on The Gathering and Martyn Bennett on Borderlands. Debatable Lands included "Our Kate", a composition by <mask> dedicated to Catherine Cookson. In 2011, she took part in the Sunderland A.F.C. charity Foundation of Light event. She formed <mask> and the Side, with Ruth Wall on Celtic harp, Louisa Tuck on cello, and Amy Thatcher on accordion. The group plays a mixture of traditional and classical music. They released an eponymous album in 2014.In 2018 <mask> established a new band, <mask> & The Darkening, with whom she released the album Hollowbone in 2019. This project signals a different approach, with new material. There is a semi-imaginary incursion into the prehistory of Northumbrian music in the track "Nemesis" based on Roman-era texts and a melody by Emperor Hadrian's court musician Mesomedes. There is a foray into a world of ancestral shamanism in "O-u-t Spells Out". The album was greeted with critical acclaim, with four-star reviews in The Observer and the Financial Times, as were the band's various national tours in its first two years of existence. Other projects
In 1987, the early part of her career was chronicled in The Long Tradition, a TV documentary. <mask>'s Northumbria, another documentary, appeared in 2006.In 1997, <mask> founded the Young Musicians Fund of the Tyne and Wear Foundation to provide money to young people in northeastern England who wanted to learn music. She founded the Festival of the North East and from 2009 to 2013 was the artistic director of Folkworks. 2, Jacob Collier
