<mask><mask>. is an energy entrepreneur and writer. He has been a promoter of sustainable development for over 30 years, having built, financed, and owned and operated renewable energy projects throughout the Americas. He has led three companies in the clean technology space, including one of the original CleanTech venture funds backed by the international development banks, including the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a division of the Inter-American Development Bank. In 2011, with the aid of David Schimel of the Jet Propulsion Lab (NASA) and other leading climate figures, Stoner founded Project Butterfly, a research organization that primarily advocates for the global capital markets as being a solution to climate change. In 2013, Stoner released “Small Change, Big Gains: Reflections of an Energy Entrepreneur,” which contains research about transforming the global energy supply to be more reliant upon sustainable fuel sources by the end of the century. Stoner is currently the CEO of Entelligent, a provider of Smart Climate indices, predictive equity portfolio analytics, and advanced data. Education and personal life

Stoner received his Masters in Accounting & Finance from the London School of Economics and a BA from Hampshire College, Amherst, Massachusetts.In 1988 he married Laurie Larsen; together they have two children. In 1987, Stoner served as founding Director of the Social Venture Network

Career

Most recently, <mask> Jr. launched Entelligent, a provider of Smart Climate indices, predictive equity portfolio analytics, and advanced data. Stoner served as the Managing Partner at New Alchemy Energy Partners, a fund dedicated to developing distributed energy generation projects in North America. From 2008 to 2010, Stoner served as the CEO and Chairman of Evergreen Energy Inc. (NYSE:EEE), a publicly traded coal and clean coal technology company with headquarters in Denver, Colorado. From 1998 to October 2008, Stoner served as CEO of Econergy International, a carbon markets consultancy and owner/operator of renewable energy projects throughout the Americas. Econergy International floated on the AIM under the London Stock Exchange (ECG) in February 2006. Econergy was an independent power developer of renewable energy projects, including wind farms, small hydro, and methane fired power generation facilities throughout Americas as well as one of the leading carbon emissions traders under the Kyoto Protocol.Under Stoner's leadership Econergy developed the first methodology submitted to the governing body of the clean development mechanism (CDM), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Stoner led the sale of Econergy to GDF Suez, one of the largest utilities in the world. While at Econergy, Stoner helped five international development banks to develop the CleanTechFund, a $25 million private equity fund focused on small-scale energy generation (such as wind, hydro, biomass and geothermal power plants) and energy efficiency projects in Latin America. He served as the Senior Manager of the fund from its formation in 2004 to 2008. Prior to Econergy, Stoner founded and served as president of the Highland Energy Group, a national energy service company (ESCO) providing demand side management (DSM) services to public utilities, such as the Public Service Company of Colorado, Duke Power, and Texas Utilities. Stoner led the sale of the company to Eastern Utilities, formerly a NYSE traded public utility headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior to Econergy, Stoner was the first acting director and founding board member of the Social Venture Network, a nonprofit membership organization composed of socially responsible business leaders who are committed to creating a more just and sustainable world.Stoner has served as a technical advisor in more than a dozen countries. Project Butterfly

Project Butterfly was founded in 2010 and is a collaboration among scientists, business leaders, and the global community to address the threats posed by climate change, and researching opportunities that exist in mitigating it. The initiative, started by Stoner, brought together individuals from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), NASA, the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and the University of Colorado at Boulder. The research and climate modeling performed under Project Butterfly led to the book “Small Change, Big Gains: Reflections of an Energy Entrepreneur”. Publications and appearances

<mask> (January 19, 1908 – June 5, 1994) was an American comedian and cornet player. Early life
Born Merwyn Bogue in North East, Pennsylvania, he moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, with his family a few months after his birth. Career
Bogue studied law at West Virginia University, but his comedy antics soon found an audience. He appeared in ten movies between 1939 and 1950. In Thousands Cheer (1943), he appeared with Kay Kyser and sang "I Dug a Ditch," and he also appeared as a vocalist in That's Right—You're Wrong (1939), You'll Find Out (1940), and Playmates (1941). In addition, he performed with Kyser on the radio and television quiz show Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge in 1949 and 1950. In his 1989 autobiography, Bogue explained his stage name, which he took from the lyrics of one of his comedic songs, "Isch ga-bibble."The song derived from a mock-Yiddish expression, "Ische ga bibble? ", which was purported to mean "I should worry? ", prompting a curious (and perhaps not coincidental) association with the "What, me worry?" motto of Mad Magazine's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman. While this derivation has been widely quoted on the Internet and elsewhere, the expression "ische ga bibble" is not Yiddish and in fact contains no Yiddish words at all. However, there is a Yiddish expression, "nisht gefidlt," meaning "it doesn't matter to me," from which the term "ish kabibble" may derive. Although Bogue's stage persona was that of a gangling goof, he was a notable cornet player and was also business manager for the Kay Kyser Orchestra for most of its existence.Kyser disbanded the orchestra during the summer of 1947 but resurrected it for a television series in October 1949. During the hiatus Spike Jones hired Bogue to appear as <mask> <mask> in Jones's zany band the City Slickers. Bogue didn't care for the experience, and was with the Jones band only briefly. Bogue was one of only four members of the Kyser band who returned for the TV show, which ran 14 months. Kyser retired from show business on Christmas Day, 1950, and the band broke up for good. With the decline of the big bands, Bogue worked as a solo comedian or in partnership with his old Kyser associate Mike Douglas. Personal life
Merwyn Bogue was known informally as "Mern."He married Janet Meade in 1932, and the couple had three children: Merwyn (known as Peter), born 1937; Pamela, 1940; and Janet, 1941. In 1961 Bogue earned a license to sell real estate, and became successful in his new career. "I liked selling real estate," he recalled in his memoir. "In a sense, selling real estate is much the same as being in show business. Instead of talking to a large audience, I talk to a man and his wife. The applause happens when they write the check, and if they do not write the check, it means I did a lousy show." By 1973, Bogue and his wife were living in Hawaii.Bogue caused double-takes from prospective clients who saw his trademark haircut and read his business card: "<mask> Kabibble, Sales Manager." Bogue died in 1994 in Joshua Tree, California, of respiratory failure brought on by pulmonary disease and emphysema. Cultural legacy

<mask>'s distinctive black hair in a bowl cut, similar to that used by Three Stooges member Moe Howard, is said to have been an inspiration for the hairstyle worn by Jim Carrey's character in Dumb and Dumber. The name  "Ish Kabbible" was used for a hoax student supposedly enrolled at Princeton University in the 1950s. Around 1983, <mask> <mask> was the voice recording for the animated series Challenge of the GoBots. This predecessor to the more popular Transformers series also had humans allied with both sides of feuding mechanical extraterrestrials. One example was Soviet Russian scientist Dr. Anya Turgenova.Towards the end of the pilot episode, she muttered, "Ishkabibble!" in boredom after hearing her friends' summoned to a U.S. federal government inquiry. In 1985, the character's name was used as a plot device on the animated series The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby-Doo when Scooby and the gang, along with an animated spoof of Vincent Price, go in search of the Amulet of Ish Kabibble. In the TV show M*A*S*H, Alan Alda's character Hawkeye Pierce several times refers to Ish Kabibble. Once Pierce asks whom he and Trapper John should drink to—"MacArthur or Ish Kabibble?" Another time he refers to <mask> <mask> and his All-Girl Orchestra and refers to him as part of a dream. In the TV show Green Acres, Sam Drucker sells "Ish Kabibble" kazoos.In the "Cousin Maude's Visit" episode of All in the Family, Maude refers to how the name "Ish Kabibble" makes Archie Bunker laugh, in an automatic juvenile response. In the animated sitcom Sit Down Shut Up, <mask> Kabbible is referred to several times in one episode. In the movie Photographing Fairies, Ish Kabbible is used a few times as a toast. A children's book, "Ishkabibble!" by Dorothy Crayder, with art by Susan Vaeth was published in 1975. The word in the book is a nonsense motivational term, and is revealed to translate as "who cares?" as in the alleged etymology from above.The academic society known as The International Society for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology goes by the acronym ISHPSSB, but the abbreviation is commonly pronounced ″ishkabibble″ at the suggestion of David Hull, as a homage to Bogue. Kay Kyser and <mask> <mask> are caricatured as Kaynine Kyser and <mask> Kyoodle in the Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon "Hollywood Canine Canteen." <mask> <mask> recited a poem ("Roses are red / Violets are blue / If skunks had a college / They'd call it P.U."). References

<mask> (born 22 April 1991) is an Estonian politician, the deputy chairman of the Conservative People's Party of Estonia and a member the European Parliament, where he is a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Delegation for relations with the United States and a substitute member for the Committee on Constitutional Affairs and the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. <mask> was elected to the parliament in 2015 election with 1883 votes. In April 2017, he was elected as the deputy chairman of the party. In 2019 he was elected as a Member of the European Parliament with 22 819 votes. Political positions

European Union
<mask> has said that the European Union should return to its original form, that of a union for economic and trade cooperation between sovereign states. He has said that a federalized European Union is the greatest threat to nation states. <mask> has claimed that the European Union is already on its way to becoming a federal state, as member states lack many of the features of an independent state.<mask> has opposed the idea of a European Union Minister for Finance, saying that  issues such as government budget and immigration must be left to the member states. He has argued against qualified majority voting, saying that it deprives smaller countries of decision-making power on issues. Foreign policy and border agreement with Russia
<mask> has said Estonia must withdraw from the border agreement between Estonia and Russia and start new talks on the basis of the Treaty of Tartu. In 2018, <mask> said that if the border treaty is ratified under the current conditions, Russia could claim that the Treaty of Tartu is no longer legally valid. He has opposed defense cooperation and security policy with France or Germany, and in favour of cooperation with the other Baltic states, Poland, Hungary, the United States and Finland. In 2018, in the foreign policy magazine Diplomaatia, <mask> named supporting and keeping in touch with Estonian communities abroad as a key issue for the survival of Estonia, which should not be compromised for realpolitical reasons. <mask> also took this view on the issue of Estonians in Crimea, arguing that the occupation of Crimea by Russia must not mean that Estonia no longer supports Estonians living there.He stated that Estonia must pursue a value-based foreign policy, which means that any Estonian living anywhere in the world is important to Estonia and we should do everything in our power to keep their ties with Estonia. Immigration and citizenship
<mask> believes that mass immigration does not affect Estonia. In January 2019, he said that a low immigration quota (up to 1300 people a year) was not a problem because there was free movement of labor in the European Union and an increase in the immigration quota would be only for cheap labor, which would lower local wages. <mask> supports not having a quota for highly skilled workers who earn triple the average wage. In 2018, he expressed the view that those with Estonian alien's passport who have lived in Estonia since 1991 should be given five years to decide what citizenship they want. Those who do not acquire Estonian citizenship during this period will have their residence permit revoked. Social issues
Madison is against the legalization of same-sex cohabitation, the right of same-sex couples to adopt, national facilitation of gender reassignment and abortion outside of certain cases.He supports the reinstatement of the death penalty for serious crimes and believes surrogacy should be made illegal. Controversy

Blog posts

In March 2015, media reported about <mask>'s blog post which defended the economic aspects of the Nazi regime. He had written: "It is true that there were concentration camps, forced labour camps, games with gas chambers were being played, but at the same time such a 'strict' order brought Germany at the time out of a thorough shithole, because development, that admittedly concentrated primarily on the development of the military industry, brought the country only within a couple of years to one of the most powerful in Europe." His blog post further claimed that while <mask> did not seek to justify Nazi mass murders, he nonetheless felt that the Holocaust had 'positive aspects'. The media also cited his comments from spring 2014 that "It is unfortunately a fact that only now it is being more widely understood and recognized that a national purification is needed, that would create premises that exactly those pro-Estonian ones would gain superiority among the Russians". This was largely condemned by public and the Reform Party, which left EKRE out of the coalition talks. The PM Taavi Rõivas pointed out it was causing him grief that a young politician treated Nazism that had caused so much suffering to people in a justifying manner and wondered, whether sugarcoating fascism and ridiculing crimes against humanity was a general line of <mask>'s party.Incidents

<mask> raised controversy again later in March, when he was fined for retaining a passenger's lost smartphone, which he should have placed in "lost and found" and selling it online while working for ferry company Tallink. In April, some female workers of Tallink also accused <mask> of sexual harassment and sexual assault. Tallink launched an internal investigation of the incidents, whilst <mask> called the accusations absurd. Views
<mask> holds national conservative views. He has labelled gay people as deviants. In May 2019, during an interview with The Guardian, he did not disown his earlier views from 2015 about praising the "positive aspects" Nazi Germany - his explanation being, that "pushing people to camps was wrong", but the unemployment rate "was low". In August 2019, <mask> used the term "Final Solution" within the context of Syrian refugees, using the German phrase Die endgültige Lösung ist erforderlich.The same phrase was used in Nazi Germany, which caused the action to make headlines. <mask> protected the saying, claiming he doesn't want the Holocaust or concentration camps, but an end to the refugee crisis.

<mask> (; 365–415), formally Prince Jing of (Southern) Liang) ((南)涼景王), was the last prince of the Xianbei state Southern Liang. As he was the son that his father, the Xianbei chief <mask> (禿髮思復犍), considered most talented, his older brothers, the founding prince <mask> (Prince Wu) and <mask> (Prince Kang) both decided to pass the throne to a brother, intending that he receive the throne. However, <mask>, while obviously talented as a general, is viewed by historians as being overly aggressive in waging military campaigns, and he greatly drained the resources of the Southern Liang people while doing so. Southern Liang's strength particularly waned after a major 407 defeat at the hand of the Xia emperor Liu Bobo, and it drew attacks from its neighbors Northern Liang and Western Qin. Eventually, <mask> was forced to surrender to Western Qin in 414 after Western Qin captured his capital Ledu (樂都, in modern Haidong Prefecture, Qinghai), and he was poisoned to death a year later. During the reigns of <mask> and <mask>u
After <mask> founded Southern Liang in 397 by breaking away from Later Liang, <mask>n immediately began to play a major role in the military and governmental affairs of the state. In 398, <mask> sent him to assist the Later Liang rebels Yang Gui (楊軌) and Guo Nen (郭黁).In spring 399, after <mask> Wugu moved the capital from Lianchuan (廉川, in modern Haidong Prefecture, Qinghai) to Ledu (樂都, also in Haidong Prefecture) in a major realignment of his military strengths, <mask> <mask> was put in charge of the important city of Xiping (西平, in modern Xining, Qinghai), and by this time, he was referred to by the title of Duke of Guangwu, a title that <mask> Wugu himself had carried earlier. In summer 399, <mask> Wugu recalled him to Ledu to head his government, while replacing him at Xiping with <mask> Lilugu. Later in 399, <mask> Wugu suffered a serious injury while horseriding when drunk, and, because his last words were that the state should be entrusted to someone old, was succeeded by <mask> Lilugu. <mask> Lilugu entrusted all important governmental matters to him and effectively designated him as the next prince. In 400, when the Later Liang emperor Lü Zuan attacked Northern Liang, <mask> <mask> launched a raid at the Later Liang capital Guzang (姑臧, in modern Wuwei, Gansu), entering the city and, while not staying permanently in the city, held a feast in the city and forced 8,000 households to relocate back to Southern Liang with him. Later in 400, when, in light of defeats by Later Qin, the Western Qin prince Qifu Gangui surrendered to <mask> Lilugu, <mask> Lilugu sent <mask> Rutan to welcome him. It might have been at this time that <mask> Rutan gave a daughter in marriage to Qifu Gangui's son Qifu Chipan, but it is not completely clear.What is clear is that later in the year, Qifu Gangui took flight again and surrendered to Later Qin, and when Qifu Chipan tried to join Qifu Gangui but was detained, it was at <mask> <mask>'s suggestion that killing Qifu Chipan for wanting to join his father would appear narrow-minded that <mask> Lilugu did not execute Qifu Chipan. It was around this time when Later Liang's general Jiang Ji (姜紀) surrendered to Southern Liang. <mask> Rutan, impressed by Jiang's talent, befriended him and spent much time with him, despite <mask> Lilugu's distrust of Jiang. Jiang, however, soon turned against Southern Liang and fled to Later Qin, offering its emperor Yao Xing strategies on conquering Later Liang and resisting Southern Liang. Around the new year 402, the Later Liang rebel Jiao Lang (焦朗) sought aid from Southern Liang, and <mask> Lilugu sent <mask> Rutan to aid him, but when <mask> Rutan arrived, Jiao would not receive him. <mask> <mask> initially was angry and wanted to attack Jiao instead, but at the suggestion of his brother <mask> Juyan (禿髮俱延) reconciled with Jiao and jointly attacked Guzang and, while not capturing the city at the time, dealt the Later Liang general Lü Chao (呂超) a major defeat. Later that year, however, when Later Liang was attacked by Northern Liang's prince Juqu Mengxun, <mask> Rutan came to Later Liang's aid.He soon arrested Jiao and delivered him to <mask> Lilugu as well. Later in 402, <mask> Lilugu died from illness, and he left instructions that the throne be passed to <mask> <mask>. <mask> <mask> accepted, and moved the capital from Xiping (where <mask> Lilugu had moved it) back to Ledu. Early reign
<mask> <mask> did not relent in his military pressure against Later Liang, and his attacks against Later Liang continued to have a destabilizing effect on Later Liang. He nominally agreed to be a Later Qin vassal, and was created the Duke of Guangwu, although he continued to internally use the title Prince of Hexi, which Tufa Lilugu used. In summer 402, Qifu Chipan escaped and joined his father Qifu Gangui. <mask> Rutan delivered Qifu Chipan's wife (possibly <mask> <mask>'s daughter) and children to him.In 403, in light of pressure from <mask> <mask> and Juqu Mengxun, Lü Long decided to end his state, surrendering Guzang to Later Qin. <mask> <mask>, apprehensive of Later Qin's power, withdrew his troops to allow Later Qin forces through to Guzang to receive Lü Long and the city. In 404, he further ended his nominal independence (but not actual independence) by ending the use of his own era name and instead using Later Qin's to show allegiance to Later Qin. He stopped using his own princely title, and used only the Later Qin-created title of Duke of Guangwu. He also made a request to Yao Xing that he be allowed to have Guzang, but Yao Xing refused. Middle reign
While Southern Liang and Northern Liang had both become Later Qin vassals, they started sporadic but incessant warring with each other after their joint enemy, Later Liang, ceased existence. In 406, <mask> Rutan attacked Northern Liang but after Juqu Mengxun refused to engage him, withdrew, and he made a tribute of 3,000 horses and 30,000 cattle to Yao Xing, greatly touching Yao Xing and making him believing in <mask> Rutan's loyalty, and so he commissioned <mask> <mask> with governorship of Liang Province (涼州, at that time only Guzang and its surroundings), giving him Guzang.Later that year, <mask> <mask> moved his capital from Ledu to Guzang. He also entered into an alliance with Western Liáng's duke Li Gao, aimed against Northern Liang. While <mask> <mask> was nominally a Later Qin vassal, he did not actually wish to serve Yao Xing long, and in 407 he proposed to Qifu Chipan (who had then temporarily taken over his father Qifu Gangui's troops, since Qifu Gangui was detained at the Later Qin capital Chang'an) an alliance, but Qifu Chipan executed his messengers and delivered their heads to Yao Xing. Still, at this time, Southern Liang's power was at its apex. At this time, though, a major defeat would cause Southern Liang's strength to begin to wane. In winter 407, the Later Qin rebel Liu Bobo, who had earlier that year broken from Later Qin and established Xia, requested to marry <mask> <mask>'s daughter. <mask> <mask> refused, and in anger Liu Bobo launched a punitive raid against Southern Liang but then retreated.<mask> Rutan gave chase and, believing that he greatly outpowered Liu Bobo, was careless in his military actions. Liu Bobo led him into a canyon and then blocked the exit with ice and wagons, and then ambushed him—and the defeat was such that it was said that 60% to 70% of Southern Liang's famed officials and generals died in the battle. <mask> Rutan barely escaped capture. In fear, <mask> Rutan ordered that all of the people within 150 kilometers of Guzang be moved into the capital, which immediately led to mass panic and a rebellion by the Xiongnu chief Cheng Qi'er (成七兒). While Cheng's rebellion was defeated, <mask> Rutan's domain had been greatly wounded. In light of <mask> <mask>'s defeat, Yao Xing plotted his destruction, despite the advice of Wei Zong (韋宗), an official of his who had personal knowledge of <mask> Rutan's ability, against such action. In 408, he commissioned his son Yao Bi (姚弼) the Duke of Guangping to lead a large force with generals Lian Cheng (斂成) and Qifu Gangui to make a surprise attack on Southern Liang—tricking <mask> Rutan into initially not resisting by informing him that the army was intended to be part of a pincer movement against Xia.Only when the Later Qin forces reached Guzang's vicinity did <mask> <mask> realize what the purpose of the campaign was, and he defended the city against Yao Bi. When a rebellion inside the city itself, led by Wang Zhong (王鍾), threatened to cause the city to fall, <mask> Rutan buried some 5,000 people alive, and he then defeated Yao Bi. When Yao Xing sent Yao Xian (姚顯) the Duke of Changshan to aid Yao Bi, <mask> Rutan defeated him as well, and Yao Xian, in fear, blamed Lian for the entire campaign and apologized to <mask> Rutan, and then withdrew with Yao Bi. <mask> Rutan also sent a messenger to Chang'an to request forgiveness. In winter 408, <mask> Rutan again declared independence, and claimed the title of Prince of Liang, in light of Later Qin's defeats at his own hands and at the hands of Liu Bobo. He created his wife Lady Zhejue princess, and his son <mask> Hutai (禿髮虎台) crown prince. Late reign
The redeclaration of independence might have been intended to show strength, but by this point Southern Liang was in definite trouble, being in constant draining warfare with Northern Liang and (after Qifu Gangui also redeclared independence from Later Qin in 409) Qifu Gangui's Western Qin, and historians generally view <mask> <mask> as responsible for the continued deterioration of Southern Liang's strength by continuing to initiate wars as well despite the obvious fatigue his state was suffering.In 410, one of <mask> <mask>'s campaigns would hurt him greatly. He attacked Northern Liang and forced 1,000 households to move to his state. In retaliation, Juqu Mengxun pillaged a larger number of households from his state, and when <mask> <mask>'s brother <mask> Juyan responded, Juqu Mengxun defeated him. When <mask> <mask> himself followed with a larger force, Juqu Mengxun defeated him as well, and then advanced on Guzang and put it under siege. The residents of Guzang, remembering the massacre that <mask> <mask> carried out during Wang Zhong's rebellion, panicked, and a large number surrendered to Juqu Mengxun. With his general Zhequ Qizhen (折屈奇鎮) also rebelling to the south, <mask> <mask> became apprehensive, and moved the capital from Guzang back to Ledu. The general Jiao Lang quickly rebelled and held Guzang, although Juqu Mengxun conquered it in 411, and then advanced on Ledu, sieging it for more than a month before <mask> <mask> submitted by sending his son <mask> Anzhou (禿髮安周) to Juqu Mengxun as a hostage.However, <mask> <mask> soon again planned revenge, and later that year he launched another attack on Northern Liang, which was initially successful, but his army withdrew at an overly leisurely pace, and when the weather turned against him, Juqu Mengxun caught him and defeated him, again sieging Ledu, forcing him to then send his son <mask> Rangan (禿髮染干) as a hostage so that Juqu Mengxun would withdraw. In 413, <mask> Rutan launched yet another campaign against Northern Liang, and was again defeated. Juqu Mengxun again put Ledu under siege but could not capture it. However, <mask> <mask>'s general <mask> Wenzhi (禿髮文支) then rebelled, encouraging Juqu Mengxun to launch a new attack. <mask> <mask> was forced to send his brother Juqu Juyan to Northern Liang as a hostage. In 414, the Tuoqihan (唾契汗) and Yifu (乙弗) tribes rebelled, and despite the state of desperation Southern Liang was in, <mask> Rutan, leaving his crown prince <mask> Hutai in command at Ledu, launched an attack against Yifu—which was quite successful. However, Qifu Chipan, who had by this point succeeded Qifu Gangui as Western Qin's prince, launched an attack on Ledu, sieging it.<mask> Hutai panicked, and forced the Han in the city into the inner citadel because he distrusted them, greatly weakening his own defense force, and Ledu fell. <mask> Hutai was captured. <mask> <mask>'s nephew <mask> Fani (禿髮樊尼, <mask> Wugu's son) escaped and informed <mask> <mask> what had happened. <mask> Rutan informed his troops that his plans were then to attack the Tuoqihan tribe, and then use the proceeds from the pillaging to ransom the people of Ledu from Western Qin. However, the troops, upon hearing the news, collapsed and deserted him. <mask> <mask> was forced to surrender to Western Qin as well. After end of Southern Liang
Qifu Chipan initially treated <mask> Rutan as an honored guest.He created <mask> <mask> the Duke of Zuonan and <mask> <mask>'s daughter (whom he might have married far earlier, but could have also married at this time) his princess. However, in 415, he secretly had <mask> Rutan poisoned. After he was poisoned, <mask> Rutan realized what was happening, and refused all treatment. He died soon thereafter. In 423, <mask> Hutai and Princess <mask>, who plotted to try to avenge him, were discovered and executed by Qifu Chipan as well. Era names

<mask> (; born 20 October 1950 in Nantes), is a French journalist and TV presenter. Biography
<mask> was a student at the school of Breil-Malville and then at Jules Verne high school ; he did his graduate studies in letters at the University of Nantes, obtaining a Bachelor's degree. While still a student, he started working in journalism in 1970 as a freelancer for the newspaper Presse-Océan. His work for this newspaper started on the occasion of a trip to Norway where he proposed a story about the football club Strømsgodset IF, champions of Norway in 1970, that the FCN (FC Nantes) was scheduled to meet later in the European Cup. Later, in the afternoon of 28 January 1972, during his journalism work, he found himself at the Saint-Pierre square when a fire started in the Nantes Cathedral; he was the first journalist at the scene, following the fire-fighters right to the fire in the attic of the building, and his report was an essential part of the paper the next day, the first page only contained a picture of the fire and the words "16 hours 19 ". Television
In 1973 he joined the ORTF Ile-de-France. He started work at TV station Antenne 2 in 1975 and took control of the news show at 18:45 the following year, from 1976 up to 1979.In 1979 he was in charge of the press review at Antenne 2 Midi and is commended for reporting of the diamond affair of Jean-Bédel Bokassa, involving Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. He started editing again in July 1981, as editor of the society department, and he also started presenting Journal de 20 heures in summer 1982. In February 1984 he left Antenne 2 for TF1 where he presented their Journal de 20 heures. His work there then stalled against the tandem of rival TV presenter team Christine Ockrent  / Bernard Rapp. Uncomfortable with the editing of TF1 and opposed to the style of the news show they put on the air in January 1985, which was dramatized and sensationalized, he remained nostalgic for channel A2 and eventually returned to his earlier employ in January 1986 to present the 20 hours alternating with Bernard Rapp

He was dropped from the 20 heures news show in July 1987 for having "abused" the chief of police of Paris in the Malik Oussekine case. <mask> would wait 11 years to return to the same post in August 1998 when he replaced Daniel Bilalian. During the 1992 Winter Olympics, in Albertville, he hosted some "talk shows"  with Daniel Cazal on the temporary Euro HD channel, set up by the l'ORTO 92 (established by the French TV public channels to promote HDTV format Mac HD broadcast in D2MAC).However, he remained true to Antenne 2 during his lean years and worked on several broadcasts of reports and debates, which were called Place publique  (directed by Serge Moati,),  Raison de plus or Géopolis. He also copresented for ten years Telethon and Nuits des étoiles alongside Hubert Reeves. During one telethon broadcast, while interviewing Michel Boujenah who was telling incredible stories, <mask>on became known for a very crazy laugh. France 2
17 August 1998, he took the reins of 20 heures on France 2, where he then proposed a revamped news journal show, but the ratings were nevertheless lower than those of channel 1. On 13 September 1999, true to his reputation for independence, he made an interview without concession of Lionel Jospin then Prime minister, which was severely criticized. With the Presidential campaign approaching, Sérillon, as in 1987, became an interviewer "boudé à gauche et peu apprécié à droite" (snubbed by the Left and little appreciated by the Right). On 12 July 2001 he stopped doing the news show, and, Olivier Mazerolle, the new boss of news at the channel, retired <mask> from the show.In September, he was replaced by David Pujadas, who had just left LCI. Thereafter, he left France 2 and then found his full freedom of speech. In 2002, Patrick Chêne appealed to him for his revitalization project of the TV channel Santé Vie but this channel stopped transmitting a year later. From 2007 to 2012 he was part of the team of Michel Drucker as a columnist in the second part of the show Vivement dimanche prochain on France 2 to present on the latest films and literary events. He left the show, declaring in September 2012 that he wanted to spend his time on new projects. Since 2007, he has co-presented the weekly political show Ôtrement dit broadcast on France Ô and on radio and television at RFO in the Overseas departments with Dominique Roederer. The 2010s
In January 2009 he publicly announced his candidacy for the presidency of the Public Sénat parliamentary channel.He thus found himself facing Pierre Sled, Thierry Guerrier, Gilles Leclerc and Ghislain Achard. In the third round, he found himself against the candidate Gilles Leclerc, then head of the political department of writing at France 2. On 28 April, Gérard Larcher, Senate President, announced that there were now two candidates for the presidency of Public Sénat. After a long selection process began early in March, led by a selection committee of the Senate, Gilles Leclerc was finally named president of the parliamentary channel Public Senat on 29 April 2009 by Gérard Larcher. <mask> became part of the communications team of Francois Hollande, (candidate of the Socialist Party for the 2012 French presidential election, who was elected President of the Republic on 6 May 2012). On 3 January 2013, <mask> was named advisor to the President of the Republic, to strengthen the communication service of the Elysee, qualified as a spin doctor of l'Élysée by the media. In early February 2014, his mission evolved and became focused on the Elysee website.On 10 June 2014, Le Monde and Europe 1 announced the end of his mission serving the head of state. His resignation became effective 16 July of the same year. Un certain sentiment d'injustice, avec Jean-Louis Pelletier, 1988. Le Bureau (roman), Lattès, 1996.

<mask> (born 11 May 1964) is an Irish composer, producer, director, and founder of the vocal ensemble Anúna. Career
<mask> was born in Dublin and attended Coláiste na Rinne and Blackrock College. He was a student of Music and English at University College Dublin and Trinity College where he studied for an M.Litt degree. He was a member of the RTÉ Chamber Choir and in 1987 he founded the Irish choral group Anúna (originally spelt "An Uaíthne"). Anúna have released fourteen albums, almost exclusively featuring his arrangements and original works. Deep Dead Blue was nominated for a Classical Brit Award in 2000 and went Top 5 in the UK Classical Charts. Anúna: Celtic Origins was the biggest selling world music CD in the US in August 2007 according to Nielsen Soundscan , and remained in the top twenty albums of the Billboard World Music Charts until early 2008.Although best known as a writer of choral music, <mask> has written orchestral and instrumental works as well as cantatas and masses. 2007 saw the premiere of the cantata St. Francis commissioned by RTÉ, the Irish National broadcasting station. It is a setting of texts associated with Francis of Assisi for tenor, choir and symphony orchestra. The album Behind the Closed Eye is a collaboration with the Ulster Orchestra, Northern Ireland's premiere orchestra. <mask> has written music for theatre, including the Adrian Noble/Cusack family production of Anton Chekhov's "Three Sisters" at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, and the Royal Court, London. He is also a vocal and choral clinician, working recently in the University of Miami (US), Sumida Hall (Japan) and Festival 500 in Newfoundland (Canada). He was an Eminent Scholar at Florida Atlantic University for the 2011–12 academic year.In 2017 he was awarded the University College Dublin Alumni Award for Arts and Humanities. <mask> will be the Artistic Director of the 2021 Tampere Vocal Music Festival in Finland. <mask>, Dawn Upshaw, the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, The Dale Warland Singers, the Phoenix Chorale [formerly the Phoenix Bach Choir], Conspirare, the BBC Singers and Chanticleer. Musical language
<mask>'s harmonic language combines elements of traditional Irish music such as modal melodic lines and ornamentation, fixed and shifting drones and liberal use of jazz-tinged chordal clusters and sonorities. These features can be heard in his contribution to the Chanticleer-commissioned And on Earth Peace: A Chanticleer Mass. <mask> contributed the 'Agnus Dei' to this multi-composer work. <mask> says "One of the misapprehensions about my music is that I am not actually concerned with saving Irish traditional music; I am not a traditionalist.The only exposure I had [to traditional Irish song] was during my year at Coláiste na Rinne in Dún Garbhán. The songs that I set are not from a specific collection; they are more impressions of the songs I remembered." <mask> also created new compositions that could be perceived as arrangements of Irish songs but were, in fact, new melodies composed to traditional texts. He has stated that "People just assume that I have just found a 'living' version. In fact I have done what has made solo traditional music so viable: I have created a new version. I take the songs and reinterpret them in a new way. My priority is always to create a choral version that works."His most successful choral work in this genre is "Dúlamán", a setting of the traditional Irish poem of the same name. This work has been performed and recorded extensively by professional choral groups such as Chanticleer and Cantus. It features another characteristic aspect of his musical language in its use of multiple alternating rhythms. Karen Marrolli for her 2010 thesis on <mask> writes: "Throughout all of <mask>'s work, while there are a good amount of compositional thumbprints and overarching characteristics, there also is a great deal of variety. This is an incredibly refreshing aspect to <mask>'s choral writing. Various constant influences are present in his music and give his canon a sense of identity; however, he does not simply reconstruct successful pieces over and over again in an attempt to rest on his laurels. His body of work displays a great range of techniques and musical ideas and continues to develop and mature.Further study of some of his more recently recorded works, such as O Maria and the brilliant work Victimae (both released on the 2009 Anúna CD Sanctus) would reveal how his musical influences factor into his compositional efforts in ever-evolving ways. This continuous growth bodes well for the longevity of this composer as he takes his place among the important composers of our time. Selected works

<mask> (March 22, 1873 in Chemnitz - June 7, 1948 in Klotzsche, Dresden) was one of the most important German children's book illustrators in the first half of the 20th century, and is recognised as the creator of a "modern toddler" or "Caspari" style. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Chemnitz in 1873 as the fourth of five children of the merchant <mask>. After the death of her father in 1888, the family moved to Dresden in 1894. <mask> worked as a governess for a year, and then studied at the Dresden School of Applied Arts from 1895 to 1898, training to be a teacher. However, she fell seriously ill in 1897 from Graves' disease, which kept her bedridden for many years. It was during that time that she had the idea for a first illustrated children's book. Career
Her first picture book appeared in 1903 under the title The Living Toy.The following year, she successfully participated in the Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Leipzig, where she showed frieze designs in appliqué. She regularly received orders to illustrate children's books, and also illustrated textbooks and songbooks. In 1906, she and her brother Walther <mask>, who worked as a graphic designer for political magazines, were commissioned by the Leipzig teacher's association to create the picture book Kinderhumor für Auge und Ohr (Children's Humor for Eye and Ear). The book was published in 1906 by Verlag Alfred Hahn in Leipzig and established a 40-year cooperation between the publisher and <mask> <mask>. The author Adolf Holst wrote verses for many of the illustrations. Her brother Walther died in 1913 at the age of 44, leaving <mask> <mask> to carry on the work alone. The following year she moved from one part of Dresden, Bühlau, to another, Klotzsche, where she lived until the end of the Second World War.During the time of Nazi Germany, she illustrated educational books for the Ministry of Propaganda. After the war, she was charged with collaboration. <mask> lost her apartment in Klotzsche and spent her last years in Lößnitz in the Erzgebirge, where she lived in poverty. <mask> published over 50 of her own children's books with illustrations, and illustrated more than 20 other works by other authors. In addition, she designed postcards, games, calendars and even porcelain figures. In 1927, she created murals and stained glass windows for a children's rest home in Jetřichovice (German: Dittersbach) in the district of Tetschen (now in the Czech Republic). Her illustrations of baby animals and their parents formed the basis of early arithmetic for many children in the 1920s.<mask> is considered the creator of a "modern toddler style", which is also referred to as "Caspari style". "Her painting is characterized by large areas, often monochrome backgrounds, simple perspectives, sharp contours, simple figures and a bright-warm color." She also drew scenes of her Saxon homeland. For <mask>, the format of the book and the thickness of the pages were important in terms of child-friendly handling and she chose materials accordingly. The estate and rights of her works are managed by the Gertrud Caspari Family Foundation. Some of the books have been reissued by the foundation. Selected publications

Death and legacy

Shortly before her death, she moved back to Dresden. <mask> died on June 7, 1948 in a hospital in Dresden of complications from a middle ear operation. Her grave is located in the New Cemetery in Dresden-Klotzsche. In 1954, a street in Klotzsche, Dresden was named after <mask> <mask>. Her home on the Königsbrücker Landstraße 3 has been preserved. In 1998, a memorial plaque was placed on the house commemorating the well-known former resident. In addition, a primary school in the district bears the name Gertrud Caspari.References

<mask> (December 7, 1942 – February 28, 2015) was an American professional baseball outfielder, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB), from  to , for the Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, California Angels, Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, and Detroit Tigers. He was the National League Comeback Player of the Year in  and an American League All-Star and batting champion in . His brother, Ron, was an NFL running back, most notably for the New York Giants. Early years
<mask> was born in Helena, Arkansas, and grew up in Detroit, Michigan with his two brothers and sisters. One brother <mask>, was an NFL running back from 1969-76. <mask> played sandlot ball with Bill Freehan, Willie Horton, and Dennis Ribant. <mask> attended Northwestern High School, where he excelled as an offensive lineman for the school's football team.He received a scholarship offer to attend Michigan State University to play football for the Michigan State Spartans, but opted to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies instead. Philadelphia Phillies
<mask> worked his way up the ranks quickly in the Phillies' farm system, batting .322 with 40 home runs and 187 runs batted in across two seasons to earn a spot on the Phillies' bench for the start of the 1964 season. However, he was optioned back to the Arkansas Travelers of the Pacific Coast League without having logged a major league at-bat in order to make room on the major league roster for relief pitcher Ed Roebuck, who was acquired from the Washington Senators shortly after the season started. <mask> soon earned a call back up to the majors as he batted .316 with 21 home runs and 71 RBIs in just over half a season with Arkansas. In his Major League Baseball debut, <mask> went 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBIs and a run scored. He remained hot for his first month in the majors, batting .400 with one home run and nine RBIs through August. He eventually settled into a lefty-righty platoon with Wes Covington in left field, which he would do through the 1965 season.That October, the Phillies traded <mask>, Pat Corrales and Art Mahaffey to the St. Louis Cardinals for Bill White, Dick Groat and Bob Uecker. St. Louis Cardinals
To make room for <mask> in left field, St. Louis shifted Hall of Famer Lou Brock to right field. Along with Curt Flood in center, the Cardinals boasted one of the top young outfields in the National League heading into the 1966 season. However, <mask> batted just .186 with two home runs and six RBIs through May 17 when he was sent down to the Tulsa Oilers of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League (PCL). That year, he was named the "Most Dangerous Hitter" in the PCL. <mask> returned to the Cardinals in 1967, batting .223 with one home run and twelve RBIs mostly as a pinch hitter and back up for Roger Maris in right field. The Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox in the World Series that year, though <mask> did not appear in the post-season.Just before spring training 1968, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds for Dick Simpson. Cincinnati Reds
Pete Rose, the left fielder in Cincinnati in 1967, was shifted to right field for 1968. Mack Jones, a left-handed hitter acquired from the Atlanta Braves shortly before <mask>, was the early favorite to inherit the left field job. While <mask> was labelled as "moody" and "uncoachable" during his days with the Phillies and Cardinals, he impressed Reds manager Dave Bristol that spring and was given the starting job in left field even though a lefthanded bat would have been more suitable for the Reds' line-up. By the time <mask> joined the Reds, he had a reputation as a notoriously slow starter. After batting .259 with four RBIs through April, <mask> got hot in May, batting .366 to move into the National League batting race. He finished the season at .312, fourth in the league behind Rose and two of the Alou brothers (Matty and Felipe), to be named the Sporting News''' National League Comeback Player of the Year.Though his potential to hit for power was recognized throughout his early career, he entered the 1969 season having hit just 17 career home runs. He matched that total in 1969, while also driving in a career high 88 runs and scoring a career high 86 runs. He also finished sixth in the N.L. with a .315 batting average. Despite his hitting prowess, <mask> was a defensive liability as he led National League outfielders in errors both seasons in Cincinnati. In need of pitching, and with outfield prospect Bernie Carbo ready to jump to the majors, the Reds dealt <mask> and utility infielder Chico Ruiz to the California Angels for Pedro Borbón, Jim McGlothlin, and Vern Geishert. California Angels
<mask> hit the ground running in California, leading the league with a .366 batting average through May.He cooled off as the 1970 season progressed, but still went into the All-star break at .328 to earn selection to the A.L. squad. He remained in the batting title race throughout the season, and went into the final game of the season with batting average which was .002 behind Boston's Carl Yastrzemski. In the last game of the season against the White Sox, <mask> went two-for-three to win the A.L. batting title by 0.0004 over Yastrzemski. He was removed from the game after his third at-bat, to ensure the title. <mask> became the subject of some controversy toward the end of his first season in California when he was fined by Angels manager Lefty Phillips for not running out a grounder.This continued into the following spring, when Phillips fined <mask> $100 for loafing in an exhibition game. The following day, Phillips removed <mask> from a second exhibition after he failed to run out a first-inning grounder. Things deteriorated during the 1971 regular season as <mask> was benched three times in May for indifferent play. On June 4, he was pulled in the first inning of a 10–1 loss to the Red Sox when he failed to run all the way to first base on a routine ground ball. After being replaced by Tony González in left field, <mask> intimated that some of his battles with teammates and management were racially motivated. Following a June 13 loss to the Washington Senators, <mask> claimed that Chico Ruiz, who had been a close friend and was the godfather of <mask>'s adopted daughter, pointed a gun at him while the two were in the clubhouse. Ruiz denied the claim.<mask>, limited as a fielder, stopped taking outfield practice before games. In June, after a potential trade deadline deal with the Milwaukee Brewers for Tommy Harper fell through, <mask> told reporters that he needed to get out of California, and that "playing in hell" would be an improvement. <mask> was benched after he loafed on two balls hit to him in left field against Milwaukee, which resulted in a five-run fourth inning for the Brewers, and failed to run out a ground ball in his final at-bat in the ninth inning. Phillips put it simply, "If you had seen him play lately, you'd know why he isn't in the line-up." By the end of June, <mask> had been benched five times and fined 29 times. On June 26, Angels GM Dick Walsh suspended him without pay indefinitely for "not using his best efforts." Grievance and arbitration
Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, immediately filed a grievance against the Angels on <mask>'s behalf claiming that Walsh failed to properly outline the basis for the suspension in specific terms.His case, however, was weakened when <mask> defended his actions rather than deny the claims made against him by his ballclub. He admitted to not being in the spirit to play properly as the whole team was indifferent toward playing together. Miller eventually ended up filing a grievance on <mask>'s behalf suggesting that <mask> was emotionally disabled. Regardless of the grievance, Phillips remained defiant that <mask> would not be returning to his ballclub (Phillips' stance was perhaps, in part, due to the fact that his fourth place team was suddenly playing better – 17–11 in the month of July.) When a meeting between Miller and the Owners' Players' Relations committee on July 21 failed to resolve the grievance, it went to an independent arbitrator. After a 30-day suspension, the longest the Angels could give, Commissioner of Baseball Bowie Kuhn placed <mask> on the restricted list, allowing the Angels to continue the suspension. On August 10, Phillips, the Angels' coaches and six players (including team captain Jim Fregosi) met with Kuhn's labor advisor John Gaherin, who was part of the three-man arbitration panel attempting to resolve the case along with Miller and professional Arbitrator Lewis Gill of the National Labor Relations Board.On August 31, the panel indefinitely postponed a decision on <mask>'s appeal, and indicated that they were unlikely to come to an agreement before the end of the regular season. The Angels' case against <mask> hit a snag on September 7, when the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Walsh had lied about the gun incident with Ruiz, and ordered that the weapon be concealed. Based on the findings of two psychiatrists, Gill found in favor of <mask>, determining that an emotional disturbance was no worse than a physical ailment, and that the Angels should not have suspended him, but rather should have placed <mask> on the disabled list. <mask> was awarded $29,970 in back pay (as players on the disabled list still receive full pay); however, Gill upheld the $3,750 in fines he received from the team. Cleveland Indians
After the season, the Angels cleaned house. Phillips and Walsh were both fired, Ruiz was released, and <mask> was traded to the Cleveland Indians with Jerry Moses for Vada Pinson, Alan Foster, and Frank Baker. While more "emotional disturbance" followed <mask> to his new club when Ruiz was killed in an auto accident on February 9, 1972 (<mask> attended the funeral), <mask> got off to a fast start for the Indians, as his batting average reached .328 on May 6.But a 6-for-66 slump brought his average down to .208 by June. <mask> appeared to be rebounding when he learned that Phillips, who had been rehired by the Angels as a scout, suffered a fatal asthma attack on June 12. He then went into a 5-for-37 slump that dropped his season average to .219. <mask>'s hitting problems were blamed on a heel injury, which limited him to pinch hitting during the first half of August. He resumed his role of everyday left fielder on August 19, and batted .351 over the rest of the season. Texas Rangers

<mask> held out for a new contract with the Indians the following spring. Unable to reach an agreement, they traded him to the Texas Rangers for pitchers Rich Hinton and Vince Colbert.Rangers manager Whitey Herzog made it clear upon his team's acquisition of <mask> that he would release <mask> immediately if he turned out to be a discipline problem with his club. However, with the American League's institution of the designated hitter rule in 1973, <mask> was able to provide strong offensive production for the Rangers without hindering his team defensively, and soon won over his new manager. He appeared in 116 games at DH while spelling an occasional day off for Rico Carty in left in an additional forty games, and batted .287 with eight home runs and 68 RBIs. His 179 hits were the fifth most in the AL, and he held the Senators/Rangers franchise record in that category until 1979. <mask> became an everyday outfielder again when Billy Martin took over as Rangers manager toward the end of the 1973 season. At first, <mask> and Martin got along, but by the time the Rangers sold <mask>'s contract to the New York Yankees on September 9, 1974, Martin had also gotten fed up with him. New York Yankees
<mask> joined a Yankees club that was in first place by one game over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East.In his first game as a Yankee, he hit an extra innings home run to defeat the Boston Red Sox. It was, however, his only highlight with the Yankees as he batted just .214 in ten games with his new club, and the Orioles won the division by two games. He started the 1975 season as the Yankees' regular DH, but a knee injury limited his role. After Billy Martin was named Yankees manager on August 2, <mask> logged just nine more at-bats before he was released on September 2. Detroit Tigers
<mask> signed with his hometown Detroit Tigers for the 1976 season, and enjoyed something of a resurgent year as he batted .268 with six home runs and 45 RBIs as his team's everyday left fielder. Regardless, he was released at the end of the season. He played briefly with the Mexican League's Diablos Rojos del México before retiring.Post-retirement

The company rents dump trucks to construction companies. In 1998, he told Sports Illustrated'' "Do I enjoy my life?" <mask> asks rhetorically. "I enjoy not being on an airplane all the time. I enjoy not having to face everything I did. I just want to help people with their vehicles.It's a nice, normal life — the thing I've always wanted." Personal life

<mask> (, born - 1898, died - 1932 ) was a social activist and a leader of non-brahmin movement in Maharashtra. He, along with Keshavrao Jedhe, first emerged as a young leader of non-brahmin movement in Pune, and later gained state-wide reputation for his scathing critic of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Vishnushastri Chiplunkar in his book Deshache Dushman (Enemies of the Country). Started as a principled follower of Mahatma Phule, he further turned more towards communism and worked to bring communist principles together with teachings of Satyashodhak Samaj. Early life
<mask> was born in a Maratha peasant family in 1898 at Alandi (Chorachi) near Pune. His family owned 5-6 acres of land, which they had to sell in 1926. He got married in the same year. Without any other source of steady income, his livelihood mainly depended upon writing and patronage.He completed his education till matriculation. Around this time, he came in contact with Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur who got impressed by his fierce writing and oratory and asked him to come Kolhapur. At Kolhapur, he managed a newspaper Tarun Maratha (Young Maratha). He left Kolhapur in 1921 and settled at Pune. At Pune, he started working with Keshavrao Jedhe, a prominent non-brahmin leader of his time. Background to Deshache Dushman
The Pune of early 1900s was notably divided in orthodox conservatives and reformers. The reformer faction was led by various leaders of Satyashodhak Samaj, most prominently by Shahu Maharaj, while Tilak was the leader of the conservatives.The conservatives would oppose any measures of social reforms that the reformers would try to achieve. Even after the death of Tilak in 1920 and of Shahu Maharaj in 1922, the two groups often resorted to fierce criticism of each others. In 1924, Pune Municipality erected statues of two prominent Brahmin figures - Tilak and Chiplunkar - in the city. Against this backdrop, the non-Brahmin group proposed a statue of Mahatma Jotirao Phule to be installed at a suitable public place in the city. This proposal was vehemently opposed by the Brahmin group. B. B. Bhopatkar, a prominent Brahmin who ran a newspaper Bhala (Javelin) argued "what service Jotirao Phule rendered to Pune as to set up his public memorial?He was not a public figure but a sectarian." Deshache Dushman

<mask> wrote his most famous work Deshache Dushman, literally Enemies of the Country in July 1925. The book was published by Keshavrao Jedhe and printed by R. N. Lad. Introduction to the book was written by Keshavrao Bagade, a non-brahmin lawyer. The book was a blistering critic of Tilak and Chiplunkar in a tone that was intensely aggressive. Its language was fiery, sometimes even obscene. He stated that Tilak and Chiplunkar were not national heroes as they were generally considered, but indeed enemies of the country.He further stated that Brahmins desired to consolidate their power and caste superiority by dividing the masses and keeping them trapped in the fabricated ideas of superiority and inferiority by birth. He concluded the book with an appeal to all Hindus that they should free themselves from the slavery of Brahmanism and from the chains of caste system. He stated that only those Brahmins who stop considering themselves superior and unite with the masses with flesh and blood should be considered an ally. Though he heavily criticized the Brahmin caste, he also wrote favourably about some progressive Brahmin leaders of those times - Agarkar, Gokhale, Ranade - in the book itself. While the book was admired by certain non-brahmin leaders like Keshav Sitaram Thackeray, it created an instant furore among the Brahmin group. In September 1925, one Shrikrishna Madhav Chiplunkar, nephew of Vishnushastri Chiplunkar filed a suit against <mask>, Jedhe, Lad, and Bagade for defaming his family. The case was trialed before City Magistrate who gave his verdict on 15 September 1926.<mask> and Lad were sentenced to imprisonment for one year. Jedhe and Bagade were sentenced for six months. The court also imposed monetary fine on all four of them. All of them were sent to Yerwada Jail and remained in jail until bail was achieved after two weeks. <mask> and others appealed in a higher court in October 1926. In the appeal, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar appeared for <mask> and won the case resulting in acquittal of all four accused. The Deshache Dushman case was one of the first cases pleaded by Dr. Ambedkar who further went on to become an eminent jurist and first law minister of India.Because of its pugnacious language, Deshache Dushman turned out to be a very controversial book. Javalkar tried to publish its second edition; however, by that time differences grew between Jedhe and Javalkar, and the second edition could not happen. Even after his death, the book could not be republished until 1984 and its republished copies suffered mass burning in 1991. Politics
The results of Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms in 1919 provided that seven seats would be reserved for non-Brahmin castes in Bombay presidency. During the same time, some non-brahmin leaders whose works were previously restricted to social activities started taking part in active politics. <mask> extensively travelled during this period. In May 1927, he along with Jedhe, toured Central Province and Berar and gave speeches at many places.The same year, he declared his support to Mahad Satyagraha by Dr. Ambedkar and also participated in burning of Manusmriti. In 1927, British government appointed Simon Commission to consider giving more political rights to Indians. As the commission had no Indian members, the non-brahmin party, along with Indian National Congress, decided to boycott this commission. However, there was an alternate view that held leaders of depressed communities should participate in working of the Commission and press upon their issues. Dr. Ambedkar testified in front of the commission in October 1928. Javalkar decided to cooperate with the commission. This, however, created a riff between him and his long-time colleague Jedhe.In 1927, <mask> took upon editorship of a Marathi newspaper Kaivari from Bhaskarrao Jadhav, another non-brahmin leader and a member of legislative assembly of Bombay Presidency. Jadhav was already opposed by Jedhe for participating in electoral politics. Collaboration with Jadhav created further differences between Jedhe and <mask>. However, his work at Kaivari brought him to support red flag movement of mill workers at Mumbai. He actively supported the workers' union and came to an opinion that the workers should struggle equally against both British government and against capitalism. <mask> visited England in 1929-30 to further his cause of non-brahmin movement. Back home in India, he was being criticized by Jedhe-led group of non-Brahmins for his alliance with Jadhav, who in turn was in collaboration with the British.His visit to England intensified his nationalist feelings and also brought him in contact with the British Communist Party. He came back to India in 1930 as a nationalist and a Marxist ready to spread socialist ideas and to form a radical anti-capitalist and nationalist peasant's movement. He also proposed that non-brahmin party to change its caste-demonstrating name and assume Shetkari Paksha (Peasant Party) as its new name. <mask> continued with his writing after coming back from England. He wrote Krantiche Ranashing (The War-cry of Revolution), one of the earliest Marxist books in Marathi. In this book, he drew upon themes of Satyashodhak Samaj as a starting point and came to a conclusion that there would be no emancipation until religious bondage was broken. He strongly held that Indian peasants should come together under principles of socialism and form a peasant swaraj.<mask> edited a newspaper Tej for few months in 1931. His writing turned more towards socialism and their tone turned more revolutionary. In Tej, he wrote articles some radical articles like "The Raising of a Peasant Army" and "Preparations for the First War of Freedom." Here he took a clear position that three chief enemies of masses were capitalism, feudalism, and imperialism. In these three, he maintained that feudalism and imperialism were already on decline and capitalism was the primary enemy. <mask> had, through his writing and speeches, had created strong connect with masses of rural Maharashtra like no other communist leaders of his time. Within the non-brahmin party, he was trying to form a group with a well-defined constitution, anti-capitalist ideology, and a new flag with a plough as its symbol.On 16 January 1931, <mask> was arrested for giving a speech at Azad Maidan Solapur in spite of prohibitory orders by the government. He was sentenced to imprisonment for one-and-a-half year. Though, he was released in March as a result of Gandhi–Irwin Pact. Death and legacy
<mask> mostly remained sick after his return from England. Meanwhile, his tours and speeches were still ongoing. After his release from prison in March 1931, he visited Nagpur on invitation of the non-brahmin movement there. He fell sick at Nagpur.On his way back, he participated in Kalaram Temple satyagraha at Nashik under the leadership of Dr. Ambedkar. At Nashik, his health deteriorated further and he returned to Pune where he saw no improvement. He died of consumption on 3 May 1932. He was survived by his wife Indutai and son Shivajirao. <mask> strived to create a well-organized peasant's organisation within the non-brahmin party. notes "though the radical peasant organisation that <mask> projected did not come to fruition, but its beginnings were suggestive." Indeed, Peasants and Workers Party of India was formed about a decade and a half after his death by the very own non-brahmin leaders - Keshavrao Jedhe and others - that were part of Indian National Congress during his lifetime.Notes and References
