Being Astral and All Registers – Power of Two
Being Astral and All Registers – Power of Two is a live album by pianist Cecil Taylor and drummer Tony Oxley. It was recorded at the Ulrichsberg Festival in Ulrichsberg, Austria in May 2002, and was released in 2020 by Discus Records. The album was one of two that were produced from recordings that Tony Oxley found in his personal archives in 2020, the other being Birdland, Neuburg 2011. In the album liner notes, Oxley recalled meeting Taylor for the first time in 1988, and stated that, after their initial musical encounter, Taylor told the concert organizer "He is The One!" The phrase "Being Astral and All Registers" is from the last line of a Taylor poem titled "Choir." Reception In a review for Jazzwise, Daniel Spicer wrote: "while the idea of telepathic communion has become a commonplace when describing the process of making improvised music, with Taylor and Oxley there's a real sense of something uncanny in the sudden stops and blossoming moments of beauty. They were, without doubt, masters at work." Writing for Jazz Journal, Nic Jones commented: "If a lot of 'contemporary jazz' is a sound of indifference, then this release is a sound of commitment. Generalisations sweeping or otherwise are often risky, and that's true here, but the fact remains that Taylor and Oxley broach no compromise. Theirs is a sound world that makes demands of the listener, and furthermore makes demands of themselves... such pioneers as this pair keep a foot in the world as it is, while hinting emphatically at worlds yet to be mapped." David Grundy, in a review for Point of Departure, stated: "The contrast between Oxley's intensely reactive style, at once clattery and melodic, and Taylor's thickly flowering streams of notes mined a whole new stream... With Taylor, Oxley became increasingly responsive and melodic, often repeating the pianist's melodic gestures a split second after they were played, anticipating and underscoring, contrasting and amplifying the fast-moving details of Taylor's playing, his figuration and refiguration of melodic material across the octaves ('all registers'). Throughout, the two practiced what Adam Baruch in the liner notes... calls an 'exchange of roles, i.e. drumming on the piano and playing on the drums'... Rising from abyss to astral, at once basic – fundamental – and rivetingly dense with information, this music is luminous clarity and grace. Highly recommended." A writer for Avant Music News noted: "Taylor was in his early 70s when these performances were recorded, and Oxley was only about a decade younger. But they play with the energy and drive of musicians half their age. Indeed, this workout would give anyone a challenge, including the listener." Karl Ackermann, in a review for All About Jazz, remarked: "much of the half-hour free improvisations... is resolutely free-wheeling, but both pieces... have melodies strewn through the anarchy. It is no less challenging a listen than much of Taylor's catalog, but it does occasionally come up for air... Oxley's late-career discoveries only enhance the reputations of these two legends." A review at the Marlbank web site stated: "Full on and intense but that is only one part of the effect... because Taylor smashes through to another space entirely, his extensive use of abstraction populating a saturated canvas alert and ready to transform in a maximalist way depending on the way he directs the light to shine on each note and passage. That light means revelation upon revelation." Writing for The New York City Jazz Record, George Grella called the album "essential," and commented: "As usual with the two, they start playing but the music feels like it had been going on all along between them, before they sat at their instruments. As much as Taylor could stab down on a moment in time, there is a constant linear flow to the music, a flexible suppleness that integrates every event with all those that have come before." Simon Sweetman of Off the Tracks wrote: "at one point it is almost a case of peering deep into a blur to decipher if the noise is from the drum kit or the piano key; of course the answer is that it’s from the painted combination... if you want to dip a tentative toe in then this is the very water to broach. It's wonderful to have Oxley opening the archives so we can access this. How joyous to hear Taylor and Oxley opening wide their very souls." A reviewer for Freq wrote that "the overriding sensation that comes from" the album is "joy; at times an utterly maniacal joy but joy nevertheless." He remarked: "The relentless invention shown by Taylor and Oxley here is second to none, and the best thing to do is just sit back and allow the uproar to engulf you and be swept away."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugur%20%28god%29
Ugur (god)
Ugur or Uqur(dU.GUR) was a god worshiped in various parts of the Ancient Near East. He was connected with the Mesopotamian deity Nergal. Much like him, he was associated with war and death. He was also originally regarded as his sukkal (attendant deity). Since the logographic writing of his name could be used to represent Nergal, it is a matter of debate which attestations of dU.GUR in texts refer to him. Character Ugur was originally the sukkal of Nergal, though he was replaced in this role by Ishum after the Old Babylonian period. In Mesopotamian sources his name was used to logographically represent the name of Nergal at least from the Middle Babylonian period onward. Volkert Haas regards the origin and meaning of his name as unknown. It has been proposed that it was the imperative form of Akkadian nāqaru, meaning "destroy!" A lexical text explains his name as synonymous with the Akkadian word namsaru, "sword." Wilfred G. Lambert proposed that he was imagined as a personification of Nergal's weapon. Due to epithets such as "the bloody Ugur" it is assumed that he was a god of death. Under the name Šaum(m)atar he formed a triad of war gods with Nupatik and Aštabi. It has been proposed that this epithet was derived from an Indo-European language, and that it might be cognate with Sanskrit somadhara (Milky Way) or soma-dhana ("containing soma"). However, it was evidently in use chiefly in some of the Hurrian-speaking areas. In Hittite sources the logogram dU.GUR could represent , a war god of Hattian origin described as having the appearance of a young man. However, he was also sometimes represented by the logogram dZA.BA4.BA4. Worship It is possible that Ugur is already present in the Early Dynastic Mesopotamian god list from Abu Salabikh. In later periods he was worshiped in the temples Emeslamnigurru (Sumerian: "E-Meslam which is clad in terror;" E-Meslam being the temple of Nergal in Kutha) in Girsu, Esulim-Enlile ("house of the awesome radiance of Enlil") located in the same city, and in a temple in Isin whose name is presently unknown. While Isin was mostly the cult center of the medicine goddess Ninisina, it was also associated with a number of underworld gods, including Nergal, Ningishzida and an otherwise unknown most likely cthtonic goddess Lakupittu who according to Andrew R. George was likely the tutelary deity of Lagaba near Kutha. Ugur was introduced from Mesopotamia to the pantheons of other areas of ancient Near East. He was one of the deities celebrated in the hišuwa festival from the Hurrian kingdom of Kizzuwatna. He is also attested in personal names from Nuzi, indicating he was worshiped in eastern Hurrian areas as well. Piotr Taracha proposes that figure number 27 from the Yazılıkaya reliefs, placed between a pair of bull-men separating earth and heaven and the mountain god Pišašaphi might be Ugur. "Ugur of Teshub" appears in the kaluti (offering lists) dedicated to the circle of Teshub. In ancient Anatolia Ugur was particularly venerated in Hayaša. On occasion, Ugur and Ugur of Hayaša could appear as two distinct deities in Hittite offering lists. The dyad of Ugurs was seemingly regarded as protective deities of the house. Other Anatolian locations where he was worshiped include Hattusa, where priests of this deity are attested, and Kaitana, where a festival was dedicated to him. In Emar a god whose name was written with the logogram dU.GUR appears in rituals alongside Shuwala, a Hurrian goddess connected with the underworld. dU.GUR from Emar has been interpreted as the logographic writing of either the name of Nergal or Resheph, though it is also possible it is meant to be read as Ugur, as a syllabic spelling of this name is known from Hurrian texts from both Emar and Nuzi. While no evidence for the existence of a temple dedicated to him in this city is known. he is mentioned in instructions for the kissu festival of Dagan, which most likely took place in Šatappi, a city possibly located further south. During this celebration, songs dedicated to him and Shuwala were sung. The precise meaning of the term kissu remains uncertain, making the nature of these celebrations, and roles of specific deities in them, difficult to ascertain. It has been proposed that the presence of underworld deities - Ugur and Shuwala - indicates that it represented the periodic death and return to life of a deity, possibly Dagan's spouse, but this remains speculative. It is also possible that it involved abi, offering pits connected to the cult of underworld deities. Volkert Haas assumes that "Lord of Hubshal" or "Nergal of Hubshal" known from Tell Leilan might be the same deity as Ugur. However, Wouter Henkelman identifies this deity as the Elamite god Simut.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giulio%20Borgarucci
Giulio Borgarucci
Giulio Borgarucci, MD (; died ) was an Italian court physician who immigrated to England and became physician to the royal household. Life Giulio Borgarucci was one of four sons of Carlo Borgarucci. Of his brothers, the eldest Borgaruccio edited several works of history and science; Prospero became professor of anatomy at Padua in January 1564, and obtained great reputation by his writings; and Giulio his elder brother, who was a physician, came to England as a Protestant refugee, and was a member of the Italian branch of the Strangers' Church in London, under the ministry of Girolamo Jerlito. In 1563, when London was visited by the plague, Borgrucci treated the epidemic by bleeding. His brother Bernardino, a juris-consult, was also then in London. Prospero also came to London during the plague, and learned from Giulio the use of a ball (pomo) compounded of balsamic substances, to be held in the hand, that its odour might counteract the effects of foul air. Borgarucci was admitted a member of the College of Physicians, and on 2 July 1572 was incorporated MD in the University of Cambridge. He was physician to the Earl of Leicester, who is said to have made evil use of his knowledge of poisons. By patent of 21 September 1573 he was made physician to the royal household for life, with an honorarium of 50l. per annum. The last trace of him is his letter of 21 February 1578–9 to Lord Burghley (in whose house the Italian church originally assembled), asking the grant of a lease from the Crown of the reversion of the parsonage of Middlewich, Cheshire. He is supposed to have died about 1581, and was succeeded as court physician by Roderigo Lopez. Borgarucci was married, and in October 1573 he wrote to Lord Burghley complaining that Sir William Cordell, Master of the Rolls, had for five months detained his wife from him in his house, nourishing her in his popish superstitions. The lady was not anxious to return, and a commission of delegates was appointed to inquire whether she was really Borgarucci's wife or the wife of another person. The case lasted several years; ultimately Borgarucci seems to have established his conjugal rights. From the fact that Archbishop Grindal took sides against Borgarucci, it is perhaps not unreasonable to suppose that the court physician was one of those who regarded as "popish superstitions" some of the positions of Anglican orthodoxy. He wrote a short commendatory epistle in Latin, following the Proeme to John Banister's The Historie of Man, sucked from the sappe of the most approved Anathomistes, 1578, fol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%20of%20La%20Pedrera
Battle of La Pedrera
The Battle of La Pedrera was a conflict between Peru and Colombia that took place from 10–12 July 1911 in a disputed area surrounding the Putumayo River as part of a larger territorial dispute between both countries. Battle The consuls of Peru and Colombia in Manaus, aware of the consequences of a possible confrontation, proposed to their governments the diversion of the expeditions, seeking that the Colombian expedition commanded by General Neira stop in Manaus, while the Peruvian, commanded of Commander Benavides, in Putumayo. However, due to lack of knowledge about these negotiations, the armed clash between the Peruvian and Colombian forces took place in La Pedrera between July 10 and 13. The Colombian troops established in La Pedrera had created a permanent camp, which included crops and a set of trenches. Most of the Colombian soldiers became ill with malaria, yellow fever or leishmaniasis, which led to 11 becoming sick, 22 dying, and leaving 34 unfit for combat at the time of the confrontation. On July 10, the Peruvian commander Óscar Benavides demanded the withdrawal of the Colombian forces, the refusal caused the first confrontation between both parties. 111 Colombian soldiers from the trenches repelled the attack of four river gunboats with 100 men, and after two hours of combat, the breakdown of the river gunboat América gave rise to Benavides' withdrawal. The next day, 23 Colombians managed to hold the position until the night. Thirty minutes before midnight, however, a new Peruvian attack was carried out which could not be successfully repelled by Gamboa. On July 12, the third and final day of the conflict, 43 Colombian soldiers fought successfully for most of the day, but General Gamboa passed out due to being ill while carrying a box of ammunition, being carried by his men. La Pedrera was consequently evicted and the Colombian troops were forced to withdraw. Aftermath On July 19, 1911, a week after the clashes in La Pedrera, the Peruvian Minister Plenipotentiary Ernesto de Tezanos Pinto and the Colombian Foreign Minister Enrique Olaya Herrera signed the Tezanos Pinto-Olaya Herrera Agreement in Bogotá. In the agreement, Colombia undertook not to increase the contingent located in Puerto Córdoba and not to attack the Peruvian positions located between Putumayo and Caquetá. At the same time, the Peruvian troops were forced to abandon La Pedrera and return the captured war trophies to the Colombians. In Colombia, the house of the Peruvian ambassador was stoned on October 4, with subsequent skirmishes and protests in the following days between both parties. On the other hand, the Peruvian forces suffered a fierce epidemic of beriberi and yellow fever that caused them to lose up to 30 men a day. This also gave rise to a reaction from Peruvian public opinion that demanded the permanence of their men in territory considered legitimately Peruvian. On October 16, the Peruvian troops withdrew from La Pedrera. In Putumayo in 1911 there was no Colombian presence and Peru was the owner of both shores, where there were towns such as Tarapacá, Puerto Arica and Tacna. With regard to the presence of Colombia in these areas, it only occurs after 1930 with the ratification of the Salomón-Lozano Treaty, Colombia withdrew from the position it defended and both sides were decimated by jungle diseases. The conflict is little remembered in both countries. Peace was later signed between both nations, ratifying the Salomón-Lozano treaty of 1922. References Bibliography La Pedrera La Pedrera La Pedrera

Iosif Iosifovich Charlemagne, or Sharleman (Russian:Иосиф Иосифович Шарлемань, 13 April 1824, Saint Petersburg - 8 May 1870, Saint Petersburg) was a Russian architect and painter of French ancestry; son of the architect Iosif Ivanovich Charlemagne. Biography He began his education at Saint Peter's School, a German-language institution, then attended the Imperial Academy of Arts, where he studied architecture with Alexander Brullov. He graduated in 1846, with the title of "Free Artist". Two years later, he entered into service at the Imperial Court; becoming an assistant to . One of his first projects involved work on the "", which kept him occupied until 1851. Later, he served as an assistant to Auguste de Montferrand, and helped to draft the plans for a monument to Tsar Nicholas I, under the direction of Nicholas Benois. His work was largely concerned with cost estimates and creating images of how the structures would look when completed. His private commissions were of a similar nature.

It last emerged in 2012 and is expected to be seen again in 2029. Lifecycle Every 17 years Brood I cicadas tunnel en masse to the surface of the ground in late-April to early-June of emergence years to molt, mate, lay eggs, and subsequently die off over the course of a few weeks. After the eggs hatch, the nymphs burrow back underground to further develop and grow for the next 17 years before emerging again, completing the cycle. The extreme number of emerging cicadas is often given as an example of predator satiation.

Sojourner Truth State Park
Sojourner Truth State Park is a state park that is under construction in Ulster County, New York, to the north of the city of Kingston. It is bound by Hudson River to its east and New York State Route 32 on its west. The park was dedicated by Governor Kathy Hochul on February 28, 2022, in honor of Sojourner Truth, who was born nearby in Esopus, and Black History Month. History The site of this park was obtained by Scenic Hudson in 2019 and transferred to the state at a cost of $13.5 million, which was funded through the state's Environmental Protection Fund. Prior to its designation as a park, the site was used for industries such as cement production, brick making, quarrying, and ice harvesting. Prior to its acquisition by Scenic Hudson, the site of this park was owned by the real estate development firm AVR, which sought to build housing on the property. From the mid-1950s until 1985, Hudson Valley Cement operated a cement facility on the site; followed by Tilcon Minerals, which manufactured construction materials here until 2005. Park Description Along with industrial ruins, most of the park is 260 acres of forested hills with 37 acres of wetlands along the Hudson River. The Hudson River Brickyard Trail, which is managed by the nonprofit organization Scenic Hudson, runs through this park. The trail is part of the longer Empire State Trail.

Brood III
Brood III (also known as the Iowan Brood) is a brood of 17-year periodical cicadas that is endemic only to the US state of Iowa. It last emerged in 2014 and is expected to be seen again in 2031. Lifecycle Every 17 years Brood III cicadas tunnel en masse to the surface of the ground in late-April to early-June of emergence years to molt, mate, lay eggs, and subsequently die off over the course of a few weeks. After the eggs hatch, the nymphs burrow back underground to further develop and grow for the next 17 years before emerging again, completing the cycle. The extreme number of emerging cicadas is often given as an example of predator satiation. Species present Brood III includes all three 17-year periodical cicada species: Magicicada septendecim (Linnaeus, 1758) Magicicada cassini (Fisher, 1852) Magicicada septendecula (Alexander & Moore, 1962) References Cicadas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wairangi
Wairangi
Wairangi was a Maori rangatira (chieftain) of the Ngāti Raukawa iwi in the Tainui tribal confederation from the Waikato region, New Zealand and the ancestor of the Ngāti Wairangi hapu. He probably lived in the mid-seventeenth century. Life Wairangi was a son of Takihiku and brother of Tama-te-hura, Upoko-iti, and Pipito. His grandfather Raukawa, son of Tūrongo and Māhina-a-rangi, was the founder of Ngāti Raukawa and a direct descendant of Hoturoa, the captain of the Tainui. Ngāti Raukawa-Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga War Wairangi joined Whāita in his war against Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga, in which they eliminated Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga and seized the upper reaches of the Waikato River, between Putaruru and Ātiamuri. After the initial assault on the Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga settlements south of Maungatautari, Wairangi and Upoko-iti led half of the war party south on the west side of the Waikato River. They passed Te Wawa, killed the rangatira Whakahi at Te Pae-o-Turawau, and killed Korouamaku at Te Ngautuku, near Ātiamuri. The last of the Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga made their stand at Pōhatu-roa, a hill just west of Ātiamuri, which was the base of their allies, the Ngāti Hotu. Whāita and Wairangi's war-parties reunited and surrounded the hill. The two forces clashed repeatedly, but eventually hunger sapped the defenders' strength and they were unable to deflect the Ngāti Raukawa assault, which captured the chieftain Hikaraupi and the mountain. After this, Wairangi settled the portion of Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga's lands south of Whakamaru, making his base at Ruru-nui, near Whare-puhanga. His descendants, Ngāti Wairangi, still live in the area and now share Mōkai marae with a number of other hapu. Tupeteka and Parewhete While Wairangi was out hunting birds at Kāwhia, Ruru-nui was visited by Tupeteka, a rangatira of Ngāti Maru from Te Āea in the Waihou River valley near Te Aroha. Wairangi's wife Parewhete had sex with him and Wairangi realised this because when he returned the food that Parewhete served him was not properly cooked, or because his other wife, Puroku had noticed some of Parewhete's kokowai rouge on Tupeteka's cheek. Therefore, he beat her and she fled to Tupeteka's village. During this flight, Parewhete painted some of her kokowai on a manuka tree at a place now called Manuka-tutahi (manuka flowers are usually white, but sometimes pink or red). She left one of her cloaks at Āniwaniwa, where she crossed the Waikato. A red cliff face by the Waikato River or at Pari-kararangaranga near Matamata is said to derive from this flight, either because when Parewhete stopped to wash she left her maro ('skirt') on the rock and the blood from her menstruation turned it red, or because she painted more kokowai on the cliff. These traces allowed people from Ruru-nui to work out that Parewhete had gone to Te Āea. When Tupeteka refused to return Parewhete, Wairangi gathered a war-party of 140 men along with his brothers Tama-te-hura, Upoko-iti, and Pipito. When they arrived at Te Āea, they were welcomed into the village and performed the tangi ('ceremonial weeping') on the marae. They were let into a giant wharau guesthouse. According to Te Rangi Hīroa his suspicions were aroused by the fact that the posts of the wharau were made of whole trunks of kahikatea - far sturdier than required for construction. Meanwhile, Tupeteka summoned a war-party of Ngāti Maru from the Hauraki Gulf. For the first two days, the visitors were given only a meagre amount of food - one kumara for two on the first day and one each on the second. On the third day, they heard Tupeteka's men slaughtering kurī dogs for food, carrying eels into the village, and bringing firewood, as if for a feast. In fact the dogs were being beaten, not slaughtered, and there was only one eel, which was being carried past repeatedly. The ovens were being prepared in order to cook Wairangi and his party. However, Parewhete had realised that Tupeteka planned to kill Wairangi and his men. Te Rangi Hīroa says that she went to the wharau, weeping, lay down on Wairangi's lap and cut her arms so that the blood flowed over him. This made him tapu so that he could not be eaten. As she did this, she sang "Why did you come with the small basket of Traveller, and not stay away with the large basket of Stay-at-home?" Pei Te Hurinui Jones reports the same lament, but says that it was a cryptic warning that she uttered when Wairangi first arrived. Wairangi sent his slave, Matamata out to investigate and he discovered Tupeteka's plan. To avoid being killed, the group decided that they would offer to perform a haka and when they reached a set word they would suddenly attack Tupetaka. After some disagreement between the brothers it was agreed that it would be Wairangi who would shout the word at the beginning of his panepane ('verse'). Matamata was sent to tell Parewhete to hide on the roof. When they performed the haka in the morning, the entire village gathered to watch. Wairangi's men had hidden their weapons under their skirts and (according to Pei Te Hurinui Jones) Matamata was stationed next to Tupeteka, ready to grab him when the signal was given. Te Rangi Hīroa and Pei Te Hurinui Jones record the words of the haka. Tupeteka realised what was happening, but too late; Matamata grabbed him and Wairangi killed him with his taiaha spear. Wairangi's men killed everyone in the village, demolished the houses and threw the timbers into the Waihou River. The war-party that had been coming to aid Tupeteka saw this and fled. Then Wairangi returned to Ruru-nui with Parewhete. Family Wairangi married Parewhete, who was descended from the Tūwharetoa ancestor, Tia. With her he had one son, Hingaia, from whom there were further descendants. He also married Puroku, whose son Maikorehe was the ancestor of Hitiri Te Paerata, Te Rangi Hīroa's main source for the story of conflict with Tupetaka. Sources Wairangi's participation in the war with Ngāti Kahu-pungapunga is mentioned in the account of the war by Walter Edward Gudgeon in the 1893 issue of the Journal of the Polynesian Society, with no indication of the sources on which it is based., as well as the account given by Pei Te Hurinui Jones, based on oral testimony given at the Maori Land Court at Cambridge in a dispute over ownership of the Waotū area, and the account given by Hōri Wirihana of Ngāti Kauwhata in evidence to the Maori Land Court at Otorohanga on 17 August 1886. The account of the conflict with Tupetaka is reported by Te Rangi Hīroa based on an oral account he heard from Hitiri Te Paerata and others of Ngāti Raukawa, and by Pei Te Hurinui Jones, drawing on an oral account that he heard from Hōne Teri of Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Raukawa in 1926.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo%20Celestri%20di%20Santacroce
Palazzo Celestri di Santacroce
The Palazzo Celestri di Santacroce, also known as the Palazzo Sant'Elia is a Baroque-style aristocratic palace located on via Maqueda 90 in the ancient quarter of Kalsa of central Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. Once the urban palace of a wealthy and prominent family, a large portion of the palace is now used for exhibitions and private functions. The palace is diagonal to the Southeast of the Palazzo Comitini, and just a block north of the church of the Assunta. History The palace was built atop and enlarging a prior structure known as the Palazzo Imbarbara. The present structure was commissioned by Giambattista Celestri, 1st Marchese di Santa Croce, along with his brother Tommaso. Construction began in 1756, with the main layout and facade dictated by the designs by the architect and engineer Nicolò Anito. By 1760, the work proceeded under Giovanbattista Cascione Vaccarini, who determined some of the decoration, including the stuccowork, of the main courtyard and of the facade. In 1866, Marianna Celestri di Santa Croce, the last heir, willed the property to her cousin Romualdo Trigona, prince of Sant'Elia. By 1984, the palace had become dilapidated, and was purchased by the Provincial government, who has funded the restoration. Description The baroque facade has two entrances, both with protruding grey marble doric columns. The entrance portal is surmounted by a gargoyle at the keystone. All the balconies have elegant brackets and iron grills. The piano nobile balconies have alternating triangular and rounded tympani, containing decorative bas-relief portraits or decorations. The interior courtyards are rich in arcades and stucco statuary and decoration. The interior frescoes of the piano nobile are described by some as possessing subtle symbolism of the order of Free Masonry. The authors of the frescoes include Gioacchino Martorana and Elia Interguglielmi. References Palaces in Palermo Palazzo Celestri

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances%20Estill%20Beauchamp
Frances Estill Beauchamp
Frances Estill Beauchamp (, Estill; June 27, 1860 – April 11, 1923) was an American temperance activist, social reformer, and lecturer. In 1886, Beauchamp took active responsibilities of leadership in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), being elected local president at Lexington, Kentucky and also state secretary. In 1896, she was elected state president of the WCTU. Beauchamp attended every national convention of the order since 1887. In 1894, she was elected one of the two national WCTU secretaries, and while state president, she was a vice president of the National Union. She served as Kentucky state chair of the Prohibition Party, becoming secretary of the National committee in 1911. Early life and education Frances (nickname, "Fannie") Estill was born in Madison County, Kentucky, June 27, 1860, in the home of her paternal ancestor, General Samuel Estill, and was of the fifth generation born on the old farm which was taken up from the Commonwealth of Virginia by his progenitors. She was of Quaker ancestry. Her parents were James W. and Nancy (Scott) Estill. The father was engaged in stock raising on a large scale in the old Paint Lick community of Garrard County. In 1880, he moved to Lexington, and for several years, was associated in business with his son-in-law, J. H. Beauchamp, on Versailles Pike near Lexington. Frances' great-great-grandfather, James Estill, was a Virginia soldier of the Revolution, and for his service, was given a grant of land which he exercised in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky. Frances' grandfather, Samuel, spent his life on the plantation near Kirksville, Kentucky, on Silver Creek. He married Rebecca Hamilton, whose parents also had a land grant in Kentucky due to her father's Revolutionary service. She was an only child, of a highly imaginative temperament and spent her childhood in dreamland. Her parents were intensely practical and insisted on regular habits and a systematic performance of the tasks assigned. She was devoted to her church and a local philanthropist from her youth. She attended a private school in Richmond, Kentucky, until her ninth year and established herself at the head of her classes, being prominently expert in mathematics. She was devoted to her teacher, the Reverend R. L. Breck, and was deeply grieved when her parents removed her from this school to Science Hill, Shelbyville, Kentucky. Her education covered the English branches, music and French. She was graduated from this institution at age 16 and plans were made to have her studies finished abroad. Career In 1875, instead of studying abroad, she married James H. Beauchamp (1844-1906), a rising young lawyer and Christian gentleman, who shared her ambitions and encouraged her work. Mr. Beauchamp was a native of Spencer County, Kentucky, and was reared in Union County in the western part of the state. He was also of Virginia ancestry, and his father, Alfred Beauchamp, was of old French Huguenot stock, descended from one of three brothers who came to America from England. Mr. Beauchamp grew up in Union County, Kentucky was liberally educated and studied law with an uncle, who for forty years was county clerk of Spencer County. He practiced for a time in Spencer County, and then moved to Lexington, where he became associated with John R. Allen and for a number of years was a member of the firm Buckner, Beauchamp & Allen. Mr. and Mrs. Beauchamp had no children of their own, but took into their home and reared seven boys, including John Haley, Houston Brown, Frank Scott, Dr. Ernest Smith, and Rev. A. E. Smith. Her interest in temperance reform was awakened in early womanhood. When the Lexington WCTU was organized in 1886, Beauchamp became its Corresponding Secretary. She was soon made President of the Lexington WCTU, then State State Corresponding Secretary and from that time on, held various offices in the State Union, proving herself to be a keen leader. In 1887, she was appointed superintendent of juvenile work for Kentucky. In 1895, after year of service in various offices, Beauehamp was elected president of the Kentucky WCTU. In 1894, she was appointed Assistant Recording Secretary of the National WCTU at the Cleveland Convention, Beauchamp's ability as a lecturer and organizer found early recognition, not only among her own sex, but among the Prohibition Party leaders also; and in 1909, she was made State chairman of the Prohibition Party, becoming secretary of the National committee in 1911. She was deeply interested in the success of the suffrage movement. She was for many years a member of the Woman's Suffrage Association. The Kentucky WCTU established a settlement and school at Hindman, Kentucky, and Beauchamp was an official member of the board of that school from the beginning. This school was pronounced by the United States commissioner of education as a model school, and in many ways it extended its influence to raise and improve the standards of school work throughout Eastern Kentucky. For a number of years, Beauchamp made a study of problems of prison reform, especially as affecting the handling of juvenile cases. The Kentucky House of Reform at Glendale, Kentucky was the direct outgrowth of influences set in motion by her and associates. Formerly, it was a practice of the penitentiary authorities to mix the boy inmates indiscriminately with the other convicts. Personal life In religion, she was Presbyterian. Frances Beauchamp died at the home of Mrs. Richard R. Wellington, at Geneva, New York, April 11, 1923. Burial was at Lexington Cemetery, Lexington, Kentucky.

Tobolsk Mariinsky Women's School
The Tobolsk Mariinsky Women's School () is a closed women's educational institution (Institute for Noble Maidens) of the Russian Empire, part of the department of institutions of Empress Maria, which existed from 1854 to 1919 in Tobolsk. History On 9 June 1851, a member of the State Council Nicholas Annenkov, who carried out an audit of Western Siberia, turned to the Tobolsk governor K. F. Engelka with an order to draw up a Draft Regulations for a women's educational institution and raise funds for its maintenance. On 4 March 1852, under the chairmanship of the new Tobolsk governor T.F. Prokofiev, a Committee was established on the organization of a girls' school in the city of Tobolsk. The members of the Committee included officials of the administration of the Tobolsk governor, deputies from the merchants and bourgeoisie K. N. Nikolaev and A. M. Muravyov, a former Decembrist, at that time an official of the office of the Tobolsk general provincial government. Other Decembrists who were in exile in Tobolsk also contributed to the opening of the school: Mikhail Fonvizin and P.N. Svistunov, who contributed funds to create the school. On 30 August 1852, the Tobolsk Women's School was opened in Tobolsk to train girls of all classes. The total number of students that year was one hundred, and the next year and the following years the number of students was one hundred and twenty. On 22 July 1854, by decree of Emperor Alexander II, the school was renamed the Tobolsk Mariinsky Women's School and became part of the department of institutions of Empress Maria and began to enjoy the rights of institutions of this department. The structure of the school consisted of two departments: the First, for the education of girls from the lower classes, in the amount of one hundred and twenty students, and the Second, for the education of the daughters of the noble class, merchants and the clergy, consisting of fifty students. The departments were divided into two classes: lower and higher, with three years of study in each of the classes. Girls were admitted to the first department from ten to twelve years old, to the second department: lower class - from ten to twelve years old, upper class - up to thirteen years old. The general work of the Mariinsky Women's School was carried out by two boards of the school: the board of trustees and the Pedagogical Board. The general management of the school was in charge of the School Council, subordinate to the West Siberian Governor-General, the first chairman of this council was the governor V. A. Artsimovich, and his wife A. N. Zhemchuzhnikova became the first trustee. On 30 August 1855, at the Mariinsky Women's School, the second department was assigned to the II category, and the first department to the III category. In the first section, such subjects were studied as: the beginning of arithmetic, calligraphy, reading, the Law of God, craft and needlework. The second department studied such subjects as: Russian language, arithmetic, calligraphy, geography of Russia, history, the Law of God, household and needlework. Subsequently, the school introduced: geography, general history, French, dancing and drawing. On 1 July 1858, the Alexander Orphanage was opened as part of the school to receive orphans for training in the first department. On 5 November 1859, Governor-General G. H. Gasford approved the Regulations according to which at the Mariinsky Women's School, the first department was equated to the course of study at county schools, and the second department was closer to the gymnasium course of study. On 7 February 1860, three classes (lower, middle and higher) were opened in the second department of the school with two-year courses of study. Upon completion of the full course of the school, graduates received a certificate of teachers of women's 2-digit and rural schools, as well as women's gymnasiums. On 3 September 1867, the building of the second department of the school was completely burned out after a fire in Tobolsk, and with the permission of Empress Maria Alexandrovna, the Fourth Department of His Imperial Majesty's Own Chancellery from 1867 to 1871 allocated 22,000 rubles for the repair of school buildings. On 24 July 1868, Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich visited the school, in honor of this visit, a scholarship named after him was established at the school. On 1 June 1873, Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich, the future Emperor Alexander III, visited the school. In 1919, the last graduation of the school was carried out and after the establishment of Soviet power, it was closed. On the basis of the Mariinsky school, the Tobolsk school of the second stage No. 1 was created.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917%20Baku%20City%20Duma%20election
1917 Baku City Duma election
An election to the was held on . Baku was the last major city in Russia to hold local duma elections during 1917. Notably, the vote was held after October Revolution commenced. On April 28, 1915, the Baku City Duma decided to postpone elections for a new duma until the end of the war. The decision was ratified on January 16, 1916. However, with the overthrow of the czarist rule during the 1917 February Revolution, the issue of local elections re-emerged. Under the Provisional Government regulations were issued for the holding of elections of city dumas on the basis of universal, equal and direct suffrage with secret ballot. The Socialist-Revolutionaries and Mensheviks formed a strong alliance after July 1917, around the principle of 'revolutionary defencism' and set up a joint list for the city duma election. The Armenian Revolutionary Federation ('Dashnaks') was excluded from alliance. However, the holding of the city duma election in Baku suffered long delays. In September 1917, OZAKOM ceded to demands for immediate elections to city duma. However, the city boundaries had remained unchanged, thus leaving the industrial districts outside of the city proper. The issue of incorporation of the Baku oilfields into the city proper was a key dispute in the run-up to the election. The incumbent city government, Moslem parties and the Kadets opposed incorporation, with the Moslem parties arguing that the oil fields had closer connection with the surrounding villages. The Baku Soviet called for incorporation, and the Bolsheviks actively campaigned for oil field incorporation. Election result Below an account published in the newspaper Kaspii on November 1, 1917; The following, slightly different account, is present by Rosenberg (1969); Rosenberg (1969) uses two sources for the Baku City Duma election result, the newspaper Baku (November 1, 1917 issue) and Revolyutsiya 1917 goda v Azerbaydzhane: khronika sobytiy (Baku, 1927). He notes slight discrepancies between the results presented by the two sources. Notably the December 1, 1917 issue of Kaspii presented an account of the electoral result similar to that of Rosenberg. Ethnicity of elected deputies Formation of coalition government After the election, the various political parties diverged on how to form a government for the city. The Mensheviks called for a government including all revolutionary and democratic forces. The Socialist-Revolutionaries argued in favour of a coalition between the city duma and the Baku soviet. The Armenian Revolutionary Federation, Musavat and Ittihad envisioned a coalitions of city duma, Baku soviet, national councils and other democratic organizations. The Kadets, Yedinstvo and the incumbent city board argued for exclusive authority of the city duma. A meeting was held on December 15, 1917, and after a first divided vote and a series of negotiations, the Mensheviks moved to support a resolution for the formation of a coalition of the city duma, Baku soviet, Peasants Union, national councils and others. The broad coalition proposal received 47 votes whilst the proposal for a duma-soviet coalition received 24 votes. The coalition government was formed with the support of all parties except the Bolsheviks. The coalition government had 9 members - 3 from soviets (workers, peasants, soldiers), 3 from national organizations (Moslem, Armenian, Russian) and 3 from the city duma and its board.

James Lindsay Smith (ca. 1816 – ca. 1883) was an American slave narrative author, minister, and shoemaker. His memoir Autobiography of James L. Smith (1881) was one of only six slave narratives published in Connecticut. Life Born a slave on a plantation in Northumberland County, Virginia, Smith escaped in 1838, rowing across the Chesapeake Bay with two other fugitives in a canoe. After stops in New Castle, Philadelphia, and New York City and with the aid of abolitionists such as David Ruggles, Smith gained safety in Springfield, Massachusetts, via the Underground Railroad. In Massachusetts, he became a founding member of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and attended Wilbraham Academy. In 1842, Smith married Emmeline Minerva Platt and settled in Norwich, Connecticut, where he became a Methodist Episcopal minister and established a successful shoemaking business. His daughters, Louie and Emma, attended Norwich Free Academy and became teachers, while his son, James H. Smith, became a shoemaker like his father. Autobiography In 1881, Smith published his memoirs, entitled Autobiography of James L. Smith, Including, Also, Reminiscences of Slave Life, Recollections of the War, Education of Freedmen, Causes of the Exodus, Etc. (Norwich: Press of The Bulletin Company, 1881). In this autobiography, he recounted his youth as a slave, his escape to freedom, and his later life in Massachusetts and Connecticut. In addition, he incorporated historical accounts of the American Civil War, the destruction the war inflicted on the South, the heroism of Black Union soldiers, and postwar Black emigration to the North. Legacy Smith's house on School Street is a stop on Norwich's Freedom Trail and is a contributing property to Norwich's Jail Hill Historic District. References External links Autobiography of James L.

Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources
The Lagos Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources was created out of the old Ministry of Works and Transport in 1979 by Alhaji Lateef Jakande, the first elected Governor of Lagos State. The Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning was eventually amalgamated with the Ministry of Physical Planning to form the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning. In 2003, the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the past Governor of Lagos State, removed the Environment Office from Physical Planning and raised the current Environment Office to a full-fledged Ministry. The Ministry's primary goal was to create a clean, healthier, and more sustainable environment that would be conducive to tourism, economic growth, and citizen well-being. In the year 2005, two offices were created under the Ministry: Office of Environmental Services (OES) Office of Drainage Services (ODS) The two offices, Office of Environmental Services and Office of Drainage Services, were consolidated into a single Ministry of the Environment in 2015, following an Executive Order by His Excellency, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode. In January 2018, the Office of Drainage Services was transferred to the Lagos State Public Works Corporation (LSPWC), which is under the Ministry of Works, as part of the Akinwunmi Ambode Administration's Environment Sector reform. Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, took the oath of office on May 29, 2019 and promised in his inauguration speech to restore the environmental agencies that had been nearly dormant. Parastatals The ministry is in charge of Supervising the following Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs: Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) Lagos State Parks and Garden Agency (LASPARK) Lagos Water Corporation (LWC) Lagos State Water Regulatory Commission (LSWRC) Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) Lagos State Waste Water Management Office (LSWMO) References Government ministries of Lagos State 1979 establishments in Nigeria Ministries established in 1979

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaeotremella
Phaeotremella
Phaeotremella is a genus of fungi in the family Phaeotremellaceae. All Phaeotremella species are parasites of other fungi and produce anamorphic yeast states. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies), when produced, are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the "jelly fungi". Fifteen or so species of Phaeotremella are currently recognized worldwide. Taxonomy History The genus Phaeotremella was originally created by British mycologist Carleton Rea to accommodate Phaeotremella pseudofoliacea, a fungus that resembled a Tremella species but had brown rather than white basidiospores. Later authors considered this to be a mistaken observation and placed Phaeotremella in synonymy with Tremella and its type species in synonymy with Tremella foliacea. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that Tremella is paraphyletic (and hence artificial). A different generic name was therefore required for a group of species not closely related to Tremella mesenterica (the type species of Tremella) and Phaeotremella was selected as the earliest such name available. As a result, the current definition of Phaeotremella is not the same as Rea's original concept. The type species, P. pseudofoliacea, has been placed in synonymy with Phaeotremella frondosa. Description Fruit bodies (when present) are gelatinous. In some species they are small (under 5 mm across) and pustular to pulvinate (cushion-shaped). In others they are much larger (up to 150 mm across) and may be variously lobed or foliose (with leaf-like or seaweed-like fronds). Several Phaeotremella species are, however, only known from their yeast states. Microscopic characters Phaeotremella species produce hyphae that are typically (but not always) clamped and have haustorial cells from which hyphal filaments seek out and penetrate the hyphae of the host. The basidia are "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid and vertically or diagonally septate), giving rise to long, sinuous sterigmata or epibasidia on which the basidiospores are produced. These spores are smooth, globose to ellipsoid, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Conidiophores are often present, producing conidiospores that are similar to yeast cells. Habitat and distribution Species are parasitic on members of the corticioid fungi, specifically species of Aleurodiscus and Stereum. Those on Aleurodiscus, including Phaeotremella mycophaga, parasitize the fruit bodies of their hosts; those on Stereum, such as Phaeotremella foliacea, P. frondosa, and P. fimbriata, parasitize the host mycelium within the wood. As a group, Phaeotremella species occur worldwide, though individual species may have a more restricted distribution. Species and hosts Only species producing basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are listed. Not all hosts are known. References Tremellomycetes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaeotremella%20frondosa
Phaeotremella frondosa
Phaeotremella frondosa (synonym Tremella frondosa) is a species of fungus in the family Phaeotremellaceae producing brownish, frondose, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies). It is widespread in north temperate regions, and is parasitic on other species of fungi (Stereum spp.) that grow on dead attached and recently fallen branches of broadleaf trees. Taxonomy Tremella frondosa was first published in 1822 by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries. The species was not clearly distinguished from Tremella foliacea until molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, showed that the name Tremella foliacea covered several similar but distinct species. Phaeotremella frondosa is the name adopted for the widespread species growing on broadleaf trees, whilst Phaeotremella foliacea is restricted to conifers. The epithet "frondosa" means "leafy", with reference to the shape of the fruit bodies. Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous, pale to dark brown, up to 7 cm (3 in) across, and seaweed-like (with branched, undulating fronds). Microscopically, the hyphae are clamped and occur in a dense gelatinous matrix. Haustorial cells arise on the hyphae, producing filaments that attach to and penetrate the hyphae of the host. The basidia are tremelloid (globose to ellipsoid, with oblique to vertical septa), 13 to 18 by 12 to 16 μm, usually unstalked. The basidiospores are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, smooth, 6.5 to 10.5 by 5 to 9 μm, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Similar species Phaeotremella foliacea parasitizes Stereum sanguinolentum on conifers. Phaeotremella fimbriata is a European species parasitizing Stereum rugosum on broadleaf trees. Its fruitbodies are comparatively small and dark brown to black. Phaeotremella eugeniae is its temperate Asian counterpart. Habitat and distribution Phaeotremella frondosa is a parasite of Stereum species, including S. hirsutum and S. rugosum, growing on the host's hyphae in the wood rather than on the host's fruit bodies. Following its hosts, fruit bodies of P. frondosa are typically found on dead, attached or recently fallen branches of broadleaf trees. The species is known from North America, Europe, and northern Asia.

Phaeotremella foliacea
Phaeotremella foliacea (synonym Tremella foliacea) is a species of fungus in the family Phaeotremellaceae. It produces brownish, frondose, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) and is parasitic on the mycelium of Stereum sanguinolentum, a fungus that grows on dead attached and recently fallen branches of conifers. It is widespread in north temperate regions. In the UK it has the recommended English name leafy brain and has also been called jelly leaf and brown witch's butter. Prior to 2017, the name Tremella foliacea was also applied to similar-looking species on broadleaf trees, now distinguished as Phaeotremella frondosa and Phaeotremella fimbriata. Taxonomy Tremella foliacea was first published in 1800 by South African-born mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon. The name remained in use until molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, showed that Tremella foliacea was not closely related to the type species of Tremella but belonged in a separate genus, Phaeotremella. Further research revealed that the name Tremella foliacea covered several similar but distinct species, the name Phaeotremella foliacea being restricted to the fungus growing on conifers. The epithet "foliacea" means "leafy", with reference to the shape of the fruit bodies. Herman Phaff and L. do Carmo Sousa described the yeast Cryptococcus skinneri in 1962 from the frass of the beetle Scolytus tsugae feeding on Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla). DNA sequencing has shown that this is the yeast state of Phaeotremella foliacea. Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous, brown to dark brown, up to 5 cm (2 in) across, and seaweed-like (with branched, undulating fronds). Microscopically, the hyphae are clamped and occur in a dense gelatinous matrix. Haustorial cells arise on the hyphae, producing filaments that attach to and penetrate the hyphae of the host. The basidia are tremelloid (globose to ellipsoid, with oblique to vertical septa), 12 to 18 by 10 to 14 μm, usually unstalked. The basidiospores are mostly ellipsoid, smooth, 5.5 to 9.5 by 4.5 to 8.5 μm, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Similar species Phaeotremella frondosa is a common and widespread species parasitizing Stereum species on broadleaf trees. It often produces larger and paler fruit bodies than Phaeotremella foliacea. Phaeotremella fimbriata is a European species parasitizing Stereum rugosum on broadleaf trees. Its fruitbodies are comparatively small and dark brown to black. Phaeotremella eugeniae is its temperate Asian counterpart. Habitat and distribution Phaeotremella foliacea is a parasite of Stereum sanguinolentum, growing on the host's hyphae in the wood rather than on the host's fruit bodies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massalongiaceae
Massalongiaceae
Massalongiaceae is a small family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Peltigerales. It has three genera and seven species. Species in this family have cyanobacteria as their primary symbiotic partner (cyanobiont), so they belong to the group known as "cyanobacterial lichens". Taxonomy The family was circumscribed by Mats Wedin, Per Magnus Jørgensen, and Elisabeth Wiklund in 2007. Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the three genera formed a well-supported monophyletic group that was distinct from other similar families in the Peltigerales. The family was named after the type genus, Massalongia; the genus name honours Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo. Massalongiaceae has a sister taxon relationship with the family Peltigeraceae, and these two families together form a clade that is sister to a clade containing the families Vahiellaceae and Koerberiaceae. Previous phylogenetic studies had placed genus Massalongia in a group together with Peltigeraceae, Nephromataceae and Lobariaceae, although the relationships of Massalongia within this group were not precisely determined. Description The thalli of Massalongiaceae lichens range in form from squamulose (scaley) to microfoliose (tiny and leafy) or microfruticose (tiny and bushy). The photobiont partner is a member of the cyanobacterial genus Nostoc. In the squamulose to microfoliose species, the lobes are rounded to elongated, and the branches in microfruticose species are terete (more or less circular in cross-section) and delicate. The ascomata are in the form of apothecia, and they are usually biatorine (where the outer layers of the apothecium are light-coloured and contain no algae). The hamathecium (a collective term for all kinds of hyphae or other tissues between asci) consists of unbranched to branched paraphyses, and is amyloid. The asci are semifissitunicate (i.e., discharge of spores from the ascus involves the separation of wall layers), with a thin apical tholus (the thickened inner part of an ascus tip) with an amyloid ring-structure, and cylindrical. The structure of the asci is particularly important in distinguishing between related families in the Peltigerales. For example, Peltigeraceae has a distinctive apical tube, while Nephromataceae lacks any amyloid apical structure, and Lobariaceae has an indistinctive amyloid layer that is not comparable to the apical cap found in the asci of the Massalongiaceae. There are eight ascospores in each ascus. The spores have septa that divide the spore transversely, and have a shape ranging from spindle-shaped (fusiform) to ellipsoid. The conidiomata are in the form of pycnidia; the conidia are hyaline, lack septa, and are rod-shaped to spindle-shaped. No secondary compounds are known to occur in the family. Habitat and distribution Massalongiaceae lichens grow on rocks, and are often associated with bryophytes, growing among or on top of them. Collectively, the family has a cosmopolitan distribution, but with more representation in northern temperate zones. Genera and species Leptochidium L. albociliatum L. crenatulum Massalongia M. carnosa M. griseolobulata M. microphylliza M. patagonica Polychidium P. muscicola Several additional species of Massalongia have been described, but some cannot be identified precisely due to lack of sufficient type material, as they are only known from the type collection, and some have been transferred to other genera.

Sylvanus Blanchard
Captain Sylvanus Blanchard (April 9, 1778 – January 6, 1858) was an American merchant sea captain. A native of North Yarmouth, Maine, after retiring from the seas, he became a noted shipwright, owner of one of the big four shipyards at the harbor of today's Yarmouth during the town's peak shipbuilding years of 1850–1875. Early life Blanchard was born on April 9, 1778, to Joshua Blanchard (1748–1835) and Jane Prince (1750–1850). He was one of eleven children, the others being William (born 1772), Elizabeth (Betsey) (born 1773), Hannah (born 1775), Saba (born 1780), Nathaniel (born 1783), Perez (born 1785), Reuben (born 1787), Huldah (born 1789), Theodotia (born 1792) and Levi (born 1794). Career After a successful career as a sea captain, he became a shipwright after returning to shore full-time. He formed the shipbuilding company Blanchard Brothers, with his sons Paul, Sylvanus Cushing and Perez, which was in operation between 1857 and 1893. Under master builder Joseph A. Seabury, among the ships his company built was Admiral, Commodore, S. C. Blanchard, Pacific, Star and Detroit. The sons continued the business after their father's death. Personal life Blanchard married Dorcas Prince Blanchard (1781–1863), daughter of Cushing Prince and Hannah Blanchard, on October 25, 1804. They had eight children: David Prince Blanchard (1806–1828), Paul Greely Blanchard (born 1808), Sylvanus Cushing Blanchard (born 1811), Perez Nathaniel Blanchard (born 1815), Samuel Woodbury Blanchard (1818–1857), Dorcas Jane Blanchard (1822–1862), Ammi Mitchell Blanchard (born 1825) and Olive Elizabeth Blanchard (1826–1861). Paul, Sylvanus Cushing and Perez became sea captains. Having lived for a period at today's 158 Main Street in Yarmouth, in 1855 Blanchard had built the home at today's number 317. He lived to enjoy it for only three years, however, before his death. The home passed to one of his sons, and is today known as the Captain Sylvanus Cushing House. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Death Blanchard died on January 6, 1858, aged 79. He is buried in Yarmouth's Old Baptist Cemetery.

The Tribute Money. Peter Finding the Silver Coin in the Mouth of the Fish (Jordaens, National Gallery of Denmark)
The Tribute Money. Peter Finding the Silver Coin in the Mouth of the Fish is a painting by Jacob Jordaens created some time between 1616 and 1634. It is in the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen (Inventory number KMS3198). It depicts the story of Jesus sending the apostle Peter to find a silver coin in the mouth of a fish as recounted in the Gospel according to Matthew 17:24-27. The composition was referred to as the "Ferry Boat to Antwerp" by the 17th-century German art historian and painter Joachim von Sandrart who interpreted the composition as a genre scene showing the ferry boat to Antwerp setting off from the quay. Description The painting is derived from the story in Matthew 17:24-27 which recounts Jesus asking the apostle to go to the lake at Capernaum to throw out his line and open the mouth of the first fish he would catch. Jesus assures Peter he will find a four-drachma coin in the fish's mouth. The coin was needed to pay the local temple tax, which every Israelite was required to pay to the temple in Jerusalem. The Gospel story does not itself recount the story of Peter following up on Jesus' instruction and catching the fish. Jordaens has depicted the biblical scene as an event occurring in 17th-century Flanders. The composition shows two groups of people: on the left people are on a ferryboat which is setting off and on the right is a group with a man (Saint Peter) pulling a fish from the water and looking at the coin he has found in its mouth. Only the apostles on the right surrounding Peter are concerned with him and his find. All passengers on the ferry are just minding their own business and do not pay any attention to the miraculous find that is occurring on the shore. The gunwale of the ferryboat is only just clear of the water as the boat is heavily loaded with animals and passengers of all ages and nationalities. Within the group on the boat can be distinguished a man hoisting the sail and another one pushing the boat from the shore with an oar. They are stocky, muscular men solely wearing loincloths. Behind them watching their work and huddled together are several persons, one of them a child crying because his apple has fallen into the water. The group on the boat includes an African man, possibly a trader, in an exotic turban and with a white horse. It must be windy as two persons are holding the rims of their hats to prevent them from flying away as the boat violently sets off. The scene on the boat with its lively crowd is the centre piece of the composition. It overshadows the scene on the right which is being watched from the boat by a peasant leaning on his cow. He is the only one who is not affected by the violent jerk, because he is witnessing the miraculous event on the share. He is looking at the large coin which a swarthy fisherman holds in his hand after finding it in the mouth of a large fish which he is still holding with his other hand. This almost naked fisherman is sitting on the jetty while four men who are no different from the rest of the people in the boat, either, are bending over him to see the coin, with expressions of amazement. The painting is a very decorative piece, with figures who are clearly distinguished in character and posture. The groups are well composed and connected. The scene is lively and full of movement. The brushwork is rather superficial and the light and palette are varied and harmonious. History of the painting The work was painted by Jordaens in Antwerp between 1616 and 1634. The work was in the private collection of Louis de Geer or Gier (II) (originally from Liège) at Finspång Castle in the 17th century. It was brought to Finspång Castle by either Louis de Geer II or Louis de Geer III in 1695. It was in the early 20th century in the private collection in Stockholm/Mogård of the Swedish politician Axel Ekman. It was acquired from him in 1912 by the National Gallery of Denmark.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naematelia
Naematelia
Naematelia is a genus of fungi in the family Naemateliaceae. All Naematelia species are parasites of other fungi (Stereum species) and produce anamorphic yeast states. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies), when produced, are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the "jelly fungi". Four species of Naematelia are currently recognized worldwide. One species, Naematelia aurantialba, is commercially cultivated for food. Taxonomy History Naematelia was introduced in 1816 by Elias Magnus Fries for fungal fruit bodies having a gelatinous outer layer and a hard inner core, as in the type species Naematelia encephala. The name was subsequently used by some mycologists, whilst others considered Naematelia synonymous with Tremella since its basidia were Tremella-like. In a 1961 paper, American mycologist Robert Bandoni showed that the hard inner core of Naematelia encephala was largely comprised of host tissue (Stereum sanguinolentum) and that Naematelia therefore represented no more than a Tremella species and its host. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that Tremella is polyphyletic (and hence artificial). A different generic name was therefore required for a group of species not closely related to Tremella mesenterica (the type species of Tremella) and in 2015 Naematelia was selected as the earliest such name available. Comparatively few species, however, have yet been sequenced. Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous (but may have a hard inner core mainly composed of host hyphae) and are variously cephaliform (like a brain, with folds and ridges), lobed, or foliose (with leaf-like or seaweed-like fronds). Colours are typically pinkish, ochraceous, yellow, or brown. Microscopic characters Naematelia species produce hyphae that are clamped and have haustorial cells from which hyphal filaments seek out and penetrate the hyphae of the host. The basidia are "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid, sometimes stalked, and vertically or diagonally septate), giving rise to long, sinuous sterigmata or epibasidia on which the basidiospores are produced. These spores are smooth, globose to ellipsoid, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Conidiophores are often present, producing conidiospores that are similar to yeast cells. Habitat and distribution Species are parasitic on fruit bodies of Stereum species that grow on dead attached or fallen wood. Hosts include Stereum hirsutum on broadleaf trees and Stereum sanguinolentum on conifers. As a group, Naematelia species occur worldwide, though individual species may have a more restricted distribution. Species and hosts References Tremellomycetes

Le Princes et le Princesse de Marinca (Canadian fairy tale)
Les Princes et la Princesse de Marinca (English: The Princes and the Princess of Marinca) is a French-Canadian fairy tale from Gaspésie published by Canadian folklorist . Summary A prince gets lost in his own realm and reaches a house, where three orphan sisters are talking: the elder wants to marry the royal gardener, the middle one the royal baker and the youngest the king. The youngest marries the king and, while, he is away at war, gives birth to a little girl, "the most beautiful under the sun", with a golden sun on her left shoulder. Her jealous sisters take the girl and cast her in the sea. The next year, the queen gives birth to twin boys, "the most beautiful under the sun", one with a golden moon on his left arm, the other with a silver star on his right arm. Years later, they are sent for a bird that speaks, a tree that sings and plays music and a jug of golden water. By pouring down the jug into a basin, a fish will come out with glass scales, glistening like mirrors. Analysis Tale type The tale corresponds to tale type ATU 707, "The Three Golden Children", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, which is known in Franco-Canadian sources as Les Trois Fils dorés ("The Three Golden Sons"). According to folklore scholar Stith Thompson, the French-Canadian variants represent one of three traditions of tale type 707 that occur in America, the others being the Portuguese and Spanish. Scholarship points that the French oral repertoire of fairy tales was "well implanted" in North America and Canada, with many regions producing several variants of the tale type. At least 25 variants are reported to have been collected from francophone North America. More specifically, Canadian and Franco-Canadian folklorists report 30 tales recorded in the archives of the Laval University. This led Canadian folklorist Edith Fowke to state that the type was "quite popular among French Canadians". Variants Professor Marius Barbeau collected a variant from French Canada (Québec), from teller "Mme. Prudent Sioui", from Lorette, and published it in the Journal of American Folklore. In this tale, titled Les Soeurs Jalouses ("The envious sisters"), three sisters, daughters of an old couple, complain that their parents are old and frail and wonder about their future, planning to find good husband for themselves. The next day, the prince overhears their talk: the elder one wants to marry a baker, the middle one a butcher and the youngest the prince. The prince summons them to their presence and marries them to their respective husbands of choice. The youngest sister, now a princess, gives birth to a boy, "more beautiful than anyone else in the world", who the aunts replace for a monkey. The boy is cast into the sea in a box, but he is saved by an old man who collects flotsam for a living, and adopted by the old man and his wife. Professor collected and published two other French-Canadian variants: La Barriere verte ("The Green Barrier") and Les trois enfants perdus ("The Three Lost Children"). In the first tale, three brothers marry three sisters, and the third couple is already expecting a child, to the envy of the other two. The children are cast into the other and, when adults, must seek "L'eau qui bouille, l'arbre qui chante et l'oiseau qui dit tout" ("the water that boils, the tree that sings and the bird that teils everything"). In the second tale, the youngest sister promises to give birth to triplets: a boy with the moon on the forehead, another with a star, and a girl from whose hair falls money. They are cast into the water, are rescued by a peasant couple and seek "the rose tree with all kinds of roses", from "the Garden of the End of the World", "water that boils in all colors and a blackbird that tells all truth". In a variant by teller Isaïe Jolin, L'Oiseau de Vérité ("The Bird of Truth"), a king's son is asked by his father to find a wife. The prince then rides a chariot to look for potential brides and stops by a humble house, where a poor man dwells with his two daughters. The prince is invited to dine with them. He returns twice and asks the prettiest daughter in marriage. She consents and promises him she will bear the most beautiful children, their names written in gold on their backs, along with their parents' names. She gives birth to three children (a boy and two girls), who are cast in the water by her sister, who also forges a letter with a command to arrest the princess. The three children are saved by a king from another realm. The sisters send their brother, Tit-Jean, for a golden apple that makes one richer than the king. Tit-Jean obtains the apple, which begins to play "the best music there is" and produces money. Next, he seeks the olive tree branch that sings and the bird of truth that only tells truths. Author collected two tales from teller Joseph Patry, from Lac Saint-Jean. In the first one, titled L'oiseau vert ("The Green Bird"), a pair of siblings named Julie and Jean (Ti-Jean) leave home with four galettes and go into the forest. They survive by eating roots and berries, until they find an old oman who begs for a bit of food to eat. The siblings give the women some of their galettes and she rewards them with a magic cane. The siblings use the cane to summon a génie and command the creature to build them a palace overnight. The next day, the queen, who lives in a nearby palace, admires the beauty of the palace that suddenly appeared and tells Julie that their abode it magnificent, albeit lacking the rosebush that feels and the green bird. Although he classified it as type 707, the collector noted that it was a truncated version of the tale. In the second tale from Joseph Patry, titled Le deux bessons ("The Twins"): a princess named Rosa prays to God to give her twins, a boy with a sun on his belly and a girl with the moon. This tale lacks the usual abandonment of the children and the quest of the other variants, but was still classiified as type 707. Carmen Roy collected another variant from Gaspésie with the title Le vieux fermier. In a variant from Newfoundland, collected from a Mrs. Kerfont and titled The Bluebird, the twins, a boy and a girl, are raised by a white bear and sent on a quest for "a blue bird in a golden cage". Germain Lemieux's collection Québécois folklorist collected from teller Maurice Prud'homme a tale titled Les Trois Vieilles Filles ("The Three Old Maidens"). In this tale, the third sister wishes to marry the king himself. She does and gives birth to three children in three consecutive pregnancies: two boys and a girl, all with "great beauty". They are rescued by the gardener and his wife. Years later, they are told of the treasures by a passing old man with long beard: the singing olive branch, the talking bird, the shining glass ball and the curtain made of golden mist. The old man explains that the golden mist appears from a stream of golden water that flows from the base of the olve branch. In another tale published by Lemieux with the title Belle-Étoile, collected from teller Alfred Simard, three sisters live a humble life with their ailing mother, who worries for their future. The three sister find work in a hotel. The prince, his vizier and his aide-de-camp stay at the hotel for a night and listen to the sisters' conversation: the youngest, named Marie, wishes to marry the king and promises to bear him a beautiful daughter named Belle-Étoile, with a star on the front and golden hair; the middle one wants to marry the vizir and bear him a boy named Beau-Jour, and the oldest the aide-de-camp and to bear him a boy named Chéri. Their wishes are fulfilled and marriages are arranged. The old queen mother, however, hires a sorceress to take the children and cast them in the sea. The three cousins grow up together and become proficient at playing instruments. For this, the sorceress convinces Belle-Étoile to find a singing apple that plays every kind of music and a speaking bird. In another tale published by Lemieux with the title L'oiseau de vérité, collected from teller Celine Sirois, the three sisters are invited by their neighbours to a celebration. They lose their way, but end up near the prince's mansion. They admire his beauty and social rank and tell each other what they will do if they marry the prince, the youngest promises to give him twins, a boy with the image of the moon, and a girl with the image of the sun. Years later, both twins are sent for four willow trees that produce music, water that rejuvenates and the bird of truth. In another tale, collected from teller Jos Hudon with the title Le Prince de Marinka, a young prince finds a girl lost in the woods, takes her in and marries her. With time, she gives birth to a boy "of marvellous beauty" with an effigy of a golden sun on his left arm, and the next year a girl "with unparalleled beauty" with a golden sun on her left breast. The queen mother, their grandmother, tries to get rid of them. They survive and are sent for a wonderful lake with a magical golden fish, and a golden bird that sings. In a tale collected from teller Joseph Tremblay with the title L'arbre chanteur... L'oiseau parleur... ("The Singing Tree... The Talking Bird..."), the tale begins like tale type ATU 709, "Snow White": a woman tries to kill her own daughter with the help of her fairy godmother, but she fails and her daughter survives. In the second part of the tale, the Snow White-character marries a king and her sisters-in-law are the antagonists. The queen gives birth to two sons and a daughter in three consecutive births, who are taken from her by the sisters-in-law and cast in the water. They are saved by a miller and years later they are sent for a golden fountain, a tree that sings and a bird that talks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naematelia%20aurantia
Naematelia aurantia
Naematelia aurantia (synonym Tremella aurantia) is a species of fungus producing yellow, frondose, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies). It is widespread in north temperate regions and is parasitic on another species of fungus (Stereum hirsutum) that grows on dead attached and recently fallen branches of broadleaf trees. It is commonly called golden ear in North America. Taxonomy Tremella aurantia was first published in 1822 by German-American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz, based on collections from North Carolina. In 1921, the species was transferred to Naematelia by Edward Angus Burt, but remained better known as Tremella aurantia until molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, showed that Naematelia was a distinct genus. The epithet aurantia means "golden". Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous, bright yellow, up to 15 cm (6 in) across, and lobed to frondose (like seaweed). Microscopically, the hyphae are clamped and occur within a dense gelatinous matrix. Haustorial cells arise on the hyphae, producing filaments that attach to and penetrate the unclamped hyphae of the host. The basidia are tremelloid (spherical to ellipsoid, with oblique to vertical septa), 13–14 by 9–13 μm, sometimes stalked. The basidiospores are subglobose to ellipsoid, smooth, 5.5–9.5 by 4.5–7.5 μm, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Similar species Naematelia aurantialba is a very similar species cultivated for food and medicine in China. It was only described in 1990 and differs largely in microscopic details. Tremella mesenterica is a widespread, north temperate fungus that also has bright yellow, gelatinous fruit bodies, but parasitizes the mycelium of Peniophora species, often on dead attached twigs. Habitat and distribution Naematelia aurantia is a parasite of Stereum hirsutum, growing on and often completely enveloping host basidiocarps. Following its host, fruit bodies are typically found on dead, attached or recently fallen branches of broadleaf trees. The species has a mainly north temperate distribution and is known throughout North & South America, Europe, and northern Asia.

Tulio Botero
Tulio Botero Salazar, C.M. (Manizales, March 9, 1904 — Medellín, March 1, 1981), was a Colombian ecclesiastic of the Catholic Church, belonging to the Congregation of the Mission . He was Auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Cartagena, first bishop of the Diocese of Zipaquirá and archbishop of the Archdiocese of Medellín. Life and work Early years He was born in Manizales on March 9, 1904. His parents were Francisco Botero Jaramillo and Maria Francisca Salazar Jaramillo, both belonging to traditional Caldense families of Antioquian origins and cousins between them. Botero was baptized in the old Manizales Cathedral on March 13 of the same year, under the name of Francisco Tulio by Father Benjamín Muñoz. He did his primary studies with the Marist Brothers and his secondary (high school) studies with the Lazarist Fathers (Congregation of the Mission) in Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda. After the death of his father, he retired from the Apostolic and studied law for a year at the Colegio del Rosario. He joined the community of the Lazarist Fathers and began the internal seminary (novitiate) on February 27, 1924, joining the community through vows in 1926. Priesthood and Episcopate He was ordained a Priest in Bogotá by Ismael Perdomo Borrero on December 19, 1931. Until 1934, he missioned in Cundinamarca with Father Nicanor Cid. From 1934 to 1941, he worked at the Popayán Seminary. From 1941 to 1948, he was director of the Internal Seminary and Director of students in Bogotá (headquarters of the Congregation of the Mission); simultaneously, from 1945, he was private secretary of the Apostolic Nunciature. In 1948 he was appointed rector of the Tunja Seminary. On May 7, 1949, he was named Titular bishop of Marida and Auxiliary bishop of Cartagena. He was consecrated in Manizales by Bernardo Botero Álvarez on August 14, 1949. He remained in Cartagena from September 7, 1949, to May 1952; From there, he passed to the newly created Diocese of Zipaquirá, when Pope Pius XII, through the Papal bull of May 1, 1952, appointed him as its first bishop. He took canonical possession of the Diocese on August 15 of the same year, thus beginning the new ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Because of his great devotion to the Virgin, Botero asked the Holy Father to declare her the patron saint of the new Diocese, under the title of the Assumption. Pius XII, accepting his request, issued the Papal bull of August 2, 1952, by which he appointed the Blessed Virgin of the Assumption as Patron of the Diocese. Among Botero's priorities for the new Diocese was the Council Seminary; thus, on December 8 of the same year, he blessed and laid the first stone for the construction of his headquarters and, on February 24, 1953, he opened the Minor Seminary under the direction of the Vincentian Fathers. To help in the solution of certain economic problems of some seminarians, he created the «San Pio X Foundation»; to help the presbytery, he created the "Clergy Relief Fund." His interest in Catholic education led him to support and encourage the creation of Diocesan Colleges in most parishes; his love for Mary and his desire to promote Marian piety led to the first Marian Congress being held in August 1954. Because of his interest in the spiritual formation of the faithful, he established a Diocesan House called "House of Mary Immaculate"; he also promoted the foundation of the San José Social Center for the comprehensive training of workers. In support of the peasants, he created the Casa Campesina Parroquial with its own statutes. In July 1956, he organized the first Diocesan Catechetical Congress with the participation of all the parishes, and ended his pastoral work in the Diocese with the first pastoral week in December 1957. On December 8 of that same year, he was appointed to the Archbishop's Headquarters of Medellín, of which he took possession on February 2, 1958. Botero Salazar participated as Council Father in the four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. He was one of the forty bishops who signed the Pact of the Catacombs of Domitilla, through which they committed to sharing time with the poor, assuming a simple lifestyle and renouncing all symbols of power In Medellín, he reformed the archdiocesan curia; he built the current building of the Major Seminary in the Loreto sector; allowed the entry of various religious communities; held the third Diocesan Synod; He had Miguel Antonio Medina Medina and Octavio Betancourt Arango as auxiliary bishops and Alfonso López Trujillo as coadjutor archbishop, who later succeeded him at the See. He established 124 parishes; he personally ordained 158 priests and the other bishops ordained 45 more priests; that is, in his administration, 203 priests were ordained in total. He handled the crisis of the 1960s.

Naematelia encephala
Naematelia encephala (synonym Tremella encephala) is a species of fungus producing pink, brain-like, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies). It is widespread in north temperate regions and is parasitic on another species of fungus (Stereum sanguinolentum) that grows on dead attached and recently fallen branches of conifers. In the UK, its recommended English name is conifer brain. Taxonomy Tremella encephala was first published in 1801 by Dutch mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, based on an earlier description by Carl Ludwig Willdenow who had described the species from Germany as Tremella encephaliformis. In 1818, it was selected by Elias Magnus Fries as the type species of Naematelia, a new genus proposed by Fries to accommodate fungi having gelatinous basidiocarps with a hard or compact core. It was not until 1961 that this central core was shown by American mycologist Robert Bandoni to be the remains of the host fungus, Stereum sanguinolentum. The epithet encephala means "brain", with reference to the shape and colour of the basidiocarps. Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous, dull pale pink to yellowish pink, up to 3 cm (1 in) across, and brain-like (compact and densely folded) with a hard, whitish core when cut. Microscopically, the hyphae are clamped and occur within a dense gelatinous matrix. Haustorial cells arise on the hyphae, producing filaments that attach to and penetrate the unclamped hyphae of the host (abundant in the central core). The basidia are tremelloid (spherical to ellipsoid, with oblique to vertical septa), 13–20 by 12–17 μm, usually unstalked. The basidiospores are mostly subglobose, smooth, 6–11 by 5.5–9 μm, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Habitat and distribution Naematelia encephala is a parasite of Stereum sanguinolentum, growing on and often completely enveloping host basidiocarps. Following its host, fruit bodies are typically found on dead, attached or recently fallen branches of conifers. The species has a north temperate distribution and is known throughout North America, Europe, and northern Asia. It has also been recorded from Australia.

Days of Rage: The Young Palestinians
Days of Rage: The Young Palestinians is a documentary film produced by Jo Franklin-Trout about Palestinian views on the Israeli occupation, first aired on PBS in 1989. The film stirred controversy in the United States. Production The documentary was filmed in the occupied territories in the summer of 1988, during the First Intifada. Broadcast After months of delays, the film was first broadcast on September 6, 1989, by about 300 PBS stations throughout the US. Kenneth Bialkin, president of New York's Jewish Community Relations Council, and other members of the JCRC described the film as "anti-Israeli propaganda." After an agreement between WNET-TV and Bialkin and other Jewish leaders, the 90-minute film was aired with an hour of "wraparound" programming designed to "counterbalance the film's anti-Israeli stance," including a panel discussion with Seymour Reich, James Zogby, Richard Murphy, and Walter Ruby. The 2 ½ - hour program aired under the title "Intifada: The Palestinians and Israel." Reception The New York Times published on August 31, 1989, before the film was aired nationally on PBS in September, that "screenings of ''Days of Rage'' around the United States have provoked protests from Jewish and human-rights organizations. Many journalists, though, have said the film, while biased, presents information about the uprisings not easily available to American television viewers."

Nathalie Elma d'Esménard was a French artist, botanical illustrator, and student of Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Biography Nathalie d'Esménard was born in Paris on 6 September 1798 to Joseph d'Esménard, a French politician, and Jeanne Adolphine Kalegraber. At age three, her parents had another daughter, Inès d'Esménard, who would also go on to become a painter, though one who specialized in portrait miniatures. Soon after, her father was killed while travelling in Italy. Nathalie would go on to become a student of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, an esteemed botanical illustrator. As a student, she displayed the influence of Redouté in the realm of botanical illustration in her use of detail, color, and design. Her works would be put on exhibition twice in the Parisian salons, in 1822 and 1827, where they were received positively. Nathalie married Baron Antoine Renaud, a field marshal and recipient of the Legion of Honour, and several of her paintings were signed with her married name of "Renaud". However, Baron Renaud died and left Nathalie a widow. On 25 February 1843 she remarried to a man named Pierre de Ricordy from a patrician family in Nice. She died in Nice on 15 December 1872 at the age of 74. Art Nathalie primarily painted botanical depictions of flowers and other flora. She used mainly watercolor, but also oil, on canvas and vellum. Selected works The following are several paintings by Nathalie d'Esménard: Noisette Rose: 1823, copy of Redouté's Rose le Philipp Noisette Narcissi and pansies: 1823 A rose, anemone, mignonette and daisies: 1824 Camellia japonica (Camellia): 1826 A spray of violas and primulas A spray including single roses, violas and cineraria References French women artists Botanical illustrators 1798 births 1872 deaths

On November 5, 2019, Kaplan announced his second solo project I'll Get By, which was scheduled to be released on January 24, 2020. Its release was delayed to February 28 due to Kaplan signing to Fantasy Records. On November 15, 2021, Kaplan released the album's lead single "First Place I Go".
