Author	William Dewsbury (ca. 1621–1688) was Quaker minister in the early period of the movement. He was born in Allerthorpe, Yorkshire, around 1621. Little is known about his parents and education, apart from the fact that his father died when he was eight years old.  Deswbury studied both scripture and other religious texts from an early age. Until around the age of 13 he worked as a shepherd in Allerthorpe - after which he became an apprentice to a weaver in Holbeck. In 1642, his brief experience in the Parliamentary Army led him to reject fighting with  ‘carnall’ weapons on religious grounds. Dewsbury travelled to Edinburgh, having become interested in Presbyterianism, but was disappointed by the formality of the Scottish faith. It is unknown when Dewsbury married, but a date of around 1649 has been proposed. It is known that his wife, whose first name was Ann, came from York, and that they were married in an Anabaptist ceremony. The couple unsuccessfully attempted to regain some former property of Ann Dewsbury, which had been taken by her brother, in court. In 1651 he met the prominent English Dissenter and early Quaker George Fox in the house of a Lieutenant Roper, near Balsby. Also present were Thomas Goodaire, James Nayler and Richard Farnsworth. In 1652 he became a Quaker minister, and travelled through Westmoreland, Cumberland and Lancashire preaching. During this journey, both Dewsbury and Robert Widders, an associate, were attacked by a group of Baptists while speaking in Carlisle, and Widders was later imprisoned. He spoke in Sedbergh in 1653, and was imprisoned in York after being accused of blasphemy by a local priest in 1654. However, he was set free by proclamation soon afterwards when the authorities realised that the evidence against him was spurious.

Author	Thomas Upham (30 January 1799 – 2 April 1872) was an American philosopher, psychologist, pacifist, poet, author, and educator.  He was an important figure in the holiness movement. He became influential within psychology literature and served as the Bowdoin College professor of mental and moral philosophy from 1825-1868. His most popular work, Mental Philosophy received 57 editions over a 73-year period. Additionally, he produced a volume of 16 other books and the first treatise on abnormal psychology, as well as several other works on religious themes and figures. Specific teachings included a conception of mental faculties - one of these restoring the will to psychology be developing a tripartite division of mental phenomena into intellectual, sentient, and voluntary. The intellect subsumed sensation and perception, attention, habit, association, and memory as well as reasoning. Sensibilities included natural emotions and desires, such as appetites, propensities, and affections, and also moral emotions, such as a feeling of obligation. Finally, the last division was the will, which allowed for volition as a basic component of human nature. This positing of a will free to choose between desires and obligations reflected the authors own spiritual journey from a Calvinistic background to the Wesleyan holiness perspective. However, perhaps the most critical contribution to the field of psychology was Upham's concept of Positive psychology which asserts: There are fundamental, transcendent laws, and living in harmony with the is the key to mental and spiritual health. This concept laid the foundation for a healthy kind of religiosity, and a spiritually-based positive psychology.

Politician	The Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant began during the turbulent Reconstruction period following the American Civil War. Grant was elected the 18th President of the United States in 1868 and was re-elected to the office in 1872, serving from March 4, 1869, to March 4, 1877. The United States was at peace with the world throughout the era, and was prosperous until the Panic of 1873, that predominated Grant's second term in office.  Grant was a Republican, and his main supporters were the Radical and Stalwart Republican factions.  President Grant bolstered the Executive Branch's enforcement powers by signing into law the Department of Justice and Office of Solicitor General.  President Grant supported Civil War values that included "union, freedom and equality." Grant made a bold move during a critical moment of Reconstruction to expand federal authority that protected African American civil rights against domestic terrorism in the South.  Grant's Reconstruction policy was challenged by the complexities of preserving democracy and equality against the resistance of "unconvinced Southerners". In 1871, President Grant  signed into law Civil Service reform legislation and established the first United States Civil Service Commission. He was opposed by the Liberal faction of the party, many of them founding fathers of the GOP, who denounced Grant's patronage. The Liberals insisted that Reconstruction had been successful and that Army troops should be withdrawn from the South so it could regain its normal political status. The Liberals nominated a candidate in 1872, who was supported by the Democrats, but was decisively defeated by Grant.  President Grant was a loner who never developed a cadre of trustworthy political advisers; he relied heavily on former Army associates who had a thin understanding of politics and a weak sense of civilian ethics. His presidential reputation was severely damaged by repeated scandals and frauds.

Author	Stevi Jackson started writing on feminist topics in 1973. She describes her research as an attempt to explain and theorise her own experience of being a heterosexual woman. She explicitly states throughout her work that she is a heterosexual feminist working within a materialist framework. Jackson has been Professor of Women’s Studies at the University of York for 11 years  and has been politically active throughout her life, particularly in the 1970s when she engaged in consciousness raising groups, went to national conferences and helped to set up Rape Crisis in Cardiff. During the Thatcher years, she joined the Labour party to counter the damage she saw being done by the government. She says Labour was “a good base for feminist campaigning”. In the 1980s, she shied away from action during the ‘sex wars’ which attacked heterosexual feminists for fraternising with the ‘enemy’. She found this period destructive for feminism and as a heterosexual feminist, preferred to stay out of the debates on the issue. Recently, her political action has involved trying to keep women’s studies alive as a space for women to explore feminism but regrets that rising higher in academia leaves less time for feminist action. She believes it is important to build a bridge between feminist theory and practice which is why she particularly enjoyed writing for radical feminist magazine Trouble and Strife. Jackson’s utopia is an egalitarian world without gender where “your genitals matter as little as your hair colour”. A world where marriage is abolished and those who wish to commit to one another engage in civil partnerships. She advocates a collective model of child rearing and believes that heterosexual, monogamous couples are not necessarily the best parents.

Author	Sir  Keith Grahame Feiling (1884–1977) was Chichele Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford, 1946–1950. He was noted for his conservative interpretation of the past, showing an  empire-oriented ideology in defence of hierarchical authority, paternalism, deference, the monarchy, Church, family, nation, status, and place. A Tory Democrat, he felt that conservatives possessed more character than other people, as he tried to demonstrate in his books on the history of the Conservative Party. He acknowledged the necessity of reform—as long as it was gradual, top-down, and grounded not in abstract theory but in an appreciation of English history. Thus he celebrated the reforms of the 1830s.  English historian A.J.P. Taylor in 1950 praised Feiling's historiography, calling it "Toryism" in contrast to the more common "Whig history", or liberal historiography, written to show the inevitable progress of mankind. Taylor explains, "Toryism rests on doubt in human nature; it distrusts improvement, clings to traditional institutions, prefers the past to the future. It is a sentiment rather than a principle."

Author	Olive Schreiner  (24 March 1855 – 11 December 1920) was a South African author, anti-war campaigner and intellectual. She is best remembered today for her novel The Story of an African Farm which has been highly acclaimed ever since its first publication in 1883 for the bold manner in which it dealt with some of the burning issues of the day, including agnosticism, existential independence, individualism and the professional aspirations of women; as well as its portrayal of the elemental nature of life on the colonial frontier. In more recent studies she has also been foregrounded as an apologist for those sidelined by the forces of British Imperialism, such as the Afrikaners, and later other South African groups like Blacks, Jews and Indians - to name but a few.

Her published works and other surviving writings promote implicit values like moderation, friendship and understanding amongst all peoples, avoiding the pitfalls of political radicalism which she consciously eschewed. Although she may be called a lifelong freethinker in terms of her Victorian background - as opposed to mainstream Christianity - she always remained true to the spirit of the Christian Bible and developed a secular version of the worldview of her missionary parents, with mystical elements.

Author	Benjamin Ingham (11 June 1712  - 1772), was born and raised in the Yorkshire and Humber region of England.  He earned his B.A. degree from Oxford, and was ordained at age 23.  Methodist connections from Oxford led to a colonial mission in America where he developed a keen interest in the Moravian church from German missionaries.  Following a 1738 visit to Germany for greater exposure to the Moravian faith, Ingham returned to preaching in Yorkshire for the next four years.  During this time he built up a following of more societies than he could manage. Ingham relinquished control of his societies to the Moravian Brethren in 1742.  Ingham’s Moravian transformation occurred the year following his marriage to Lady Margaret Hastings.  The Moravians, or Unitas Fratrum, were recognized by the British Crown in 1749 thereby creating the Moravian Church in England.  While Ingham’s bond with his Brethren strengthened, it was a relationship that was to evolve.  By the early 1750s Ingham found his views differing from the Oxford Methodists.  When the viewpoints of the Moravian elders clashed with those representing the Church of England, Ingham used this 1753 scandal to distance himself from his Brethren and reestablish his own Inghamite societies.  Still insecure as an independent church, Ingham turned to Sandemanianism during the final years of his life as a viable option forward for his followers.  While he shared many Sandemanian views he chose independence instead.  The majority of his societies splintered and joined with other denominations which included Methodists, Sandemanians and Congregationalists.  He died at Aberford in 1772, four years after his wife.

Author	Anwari (Auhad-uddin Ali Anwari)(), Persian poet, was born in the Khawaran district (Balkh) of Khorasan early in the 12th century. He enjoyed the special favour of the Sultan Sanjar, whom he attended in all his warlike expeditions. On one occasion, when the sultan was besieging the fortress of Hazarasp, a fierce poetical conflict was maintained between Anwari and his rival Rashidi, who was within the beleaguered castle, by means of verses fastened to arrows.  His literary powers are considerable, as shown in his famous lament over the ruin caused by the Ghuzz tribesmen in Khurasan, and his exercises in irony and ridicule make pungent reading.  He was adept in astrology and considered himself to be superior to his contemporaries in logic, music, theology, mathematics and all other intellectual pursuits.  It appears that his patrons after Sultan Sanjar failed to value his services as highly as he did himself; at any rate he considered their rewards inadequate.  Either that fact or jealousy of his rivals caused him to renounce the writing of eulogies and of ghazals, although it is difficult to decide at what point in his career this took place. His satires doubtless created him enemies.  His declining fortunes led to persistent complaint against capricious Fate. In style and language he is sometimes obscure, so that Dawlatshah declares that he needs a commentary.  That obscurity, and a change in literary taste, may be one reason for his comparative neglect.

The public especially respected "his integrity, competence, and Christian principles."

Gr. vii. 305) is inscribed Αδδαίου Μυτιληναίου, and there was a  Mytilenaean of this name, who wrote two prose works  Περί αγαλματοποιών (On statue-makers) and Περί Διαθέσεως (On disposition) (Athen. xiii. p. 606.

He was the first Greek poet known to express concern over the eventual fate and survival of his own work and, along with Homer, Hesiod and the authors of the Homeric Hymns, he is among the earliest poets whose work has been preserved in a continuous manuscript tradition (the work of other archaic poets is preserved as scattered fragments). In fact more than half of the extant elegiac poetry of Greece before the Alexandrian period is included in the approximately 1,400 verses attributed to him.  Some of these verses inspired ancient commentators to value him as a moralist yet the entire corpus is valued today for its "warts and all" portrayal of aristocratic life in archaic Greece.

Author	Sir Harold Mario Mitchell Acton CBE Kt (5 July 1904 – 27 February 1994) was a British writer, scholar and dilettante perhaps most famous for being wrongly believed to have inspired (in whole) the character of "Anthony Blanche" in Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited (1945).

Author	Michele Faith Wallace (born January 4, 1952) is a feminist author and daughter of artist Faith Ringgold. She became famous in 1979 when, at age 27, she published Black Macho and The Myth of The Superwoman, a book in which she criticized black nationalism and sexism.   Her writings on literature, art, film, and popular culture have been widely published and have made her a "leader of a  generation of African-American intellectuals."  The cogency, focus, and insightfulness of Wallace's essays on visual culture and its relationship to race and gender is typified by "Modernism, Postmodernism and the Problem of the Visual in Afro-American Culture" and her afterword in the book Black Popular Culture (based on a groundbreaking conference organized by Wallace at The Studio Museum in Harlem in 1991): "Why Are There No Great Black Artists? The Problem of Visuality in African-American Culture". Her attention to the invisibility and/or fetishization of Black women in art, film, and television has inspired new critical thinking about race and gender in popular culture, particularly in what she has called "the gap around the psychoanalytic" in contemporary African-American critical discourse. Books like Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman, for example, have been a galvanizing and highly influential force in both African-American and feminist circles.  The real power of Wallace's writing--a commanding force evident in works as diverse as her essays on film and literature both for scholarly journals and popular essays, such as for the Village Voice--is a clarity and rigor that allows her to reach a broad and committed audience. Wallace  earned her B.A. and M.A. in English from The City College of New York and has a Ph.D. in Cinema Studies from New York University. She is Professor of English at The City College and Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

He is best known for his multi-volume gnosticism series, including Gnostic Return in Modernity and Gnostic Apocalypse: Jacob Boehme's Haunted Narrative.  Rehabilitating a project attempted in the nineteenth century by a leader of the Tübingen school of theology, Ferdinand Christian Baur, O'Regan attempts to identify a gnostic structure or "grammar" that can be traced through sources and authors as diverse as Valentinianism and William Blake. By identifying this grammar, he hoped to find a way to distinguish works of gnosticism from other types with superficial resemblances, such as writings in Neoplatonism.  As a Christian theologian, he also hopes to equip theologians to avoid gnosticism, which he sees as an alternative contrary to genuine Christian faith yet, by its nature, one that is present in every era.  This project is in some ways similar to that of Eric Voegelin, who in his Science, Politics and Gnosticism attempted to identify some core features of gnosticism that he viewed as dangerous, though the two thinkers disagree about how to define gnosticism and why it should be rejected.

Journalist	Adeline E. Knapp (March 14, 1860 – c. June 1909) was an American journalist, author, social activist, environmentalist and educator, who is today remembered largely for her tempestuous lesbian relationship with Charlotte Perkins Gilman.  In her lifetime, Knapp was known as a fixture of the turn-of-the-century San Francisco Bay Area literary scene.  An outspoken writer who often addressed controversial topics in her columns for the San Francisco Call, Knapp wrote on a wide range of subjects from livestock to the Annexation of Hawaii.  Though often drawn to progressive causes like child labor and conservation, Knapp also tended to espouse reactionary views, as evidenced by her anti-Chinese sentiments and criticisms of the women's suffrage movement.  At a time when many American women were joining the movement to extend political and voting rights to women, Knapp spoke in state senate hearings in New York expressing doubts about the benefits of suffrage to women, and she allowed her speeches and letters on the topic to be used as propaganda by the anti-suffragism movement.  Knapp was also the author of numerous short stories, as well as a novel set in the Arizona desert — works reflecting her outdoor enthusiast sensibilities, keen intellect, and interest in Western regionalism.  These works, though praised in her lifetime, today have few readers among enthusiasts of Western fiction.

Author	Béroul was a Norman poet of the 12th century. He wrote Tristan, a Norman language version of the legend of Tristan and Iseult of which a certain number of fragments (approximately 3000 verses) have been preserved; it is the earliest representation of the so-called "vulgar" version of the legend (the "courtly" version being represented by fragments from Thomas of Britain's poem). Eilhart von Oberge wrote a treatment of this version in German, and many of Béroul's episodes that do not appear in Thomas reappear in the Prose Tristan. Beroul's poem survives in a single manuscript now in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. This copy is poorly written  and there is a suggestion that part of the poem was written by a different scribe to the rest. The actual content of the poem also differs from the modern conception of what a narrative poem should be; the plot is disjointed and lacking in a flow of cause and effect, and the characters are poorly defined. Nevertheless, Fedrick proposes that this was common of literature in Beroul's time.

Musical Artist	Hermann Szobel is/was a pianist and composer. He produced and recorded one Jazz Fusion album, titled "Szobel," at the age of 18, demonstrating, in the words of a "Down Beat" reviewer (9 September 1976), "a conception and technique far in advance of most musicians twice his age."  According to the artist biography included with promotional copies of the album, Szobel was born in Vienna in 1958 and was "a child prodigy who began his classical training at the age of six" who "spent the majority of his practicing hours on pieces by Chopin."   The bio states that pianists Martial Solal and Keith Jarrett were two major influences on his work.  Szobel is a nephew of the late rock-concert promoter Bill Graham. "Szobel" features extremely complicated compositions comparable to those of Frank Zappa. The music is jazz-based but contains elements of rock and Western classical music. Szobel's impressive piano virtuosity is noticeable throughout the album. The other musicians on "Szobel" are Michael Visceglia on bass, Bob Goldman on drums, Dave Samuels on percussion including marimba and vibraphone, and Vadim Vyadro on tenor sax, clarinet, and flute. Obscure even when it was released (on Arista Records) in 1976, "Szobel" was issued on CD by Laser's Edge in 2012.

Politician	Marcus Octavius (lived 2nd century BC) was a Roman tribune and a major rival of Tiberius Gracchus.  A serious and discreet person, he earned himself a reputation as an influential orator.

Gracchus responded by ultimately having the Plebeian Assembly deprive him of his office and eject him from the Assembly's meeting place in 133 BC. This action led to a serious escalation in the confrontation between the traditionalists and the reformers. The action was unprecedented and contravened mos maiorum (Latin term for "the traditional way of doing things") The Assemblies decision to depose Marcus Octavius in order to ensure Tiberius Gracchus' land Bill was passed, revealed the true power that the tribunate and the assembly had which it did not have prior to 133BC. The power of the Assembly and the Tribune was one of the factors that led to the decreasing influence of the Senate in Roman politics which led to the Roman civil wars and ultimately the fall of the Roman Republic.

He achieved international fame as a gymnastics trainer for the Danish team at the Olympic Games in Stockholm in 1912. He was inspired by the rhythmic female gymnastics of the Finnish gymnastics educator Elli Björksténs (1870-1947) and the medical gymnastics of Kaare Theilmann. Within the tradition of Pehr Henrik Ling, Bukh developed his own primitive gymnastics, aimed at using forceful exercises in order to prevent stiffness and bad bodily habits. In 1931 his gymnastics team toured the world, visiting Japan where his system became highly influential. His system of exercise became highly popular in Germany, and in 1933 Bukh publicly expressed his allegiance to the National Socialist cause and its aim of improving the health of the Aryan race through gymnastics.  This made Bukh unpopular in Denmark, especially after the German occupation of Denmark in 1940. Bukh support for Nazism caused a backlash in the form of a previous lover publicly revealing Bukh's homosexuality. Bukh had lived together with a male partner for several years, and his sexuality was well known in his family and among his friends and students. Biographers speculate that Bukh never became aware of the Nazi stance against homosexuality, even in spite of his frequent visits to Germany during the 1930s and -40s. In 1944 he bought the manor løgismose, which he sold again in 1947.

Politician	Georges Ernest Jean-Marie Boulanger (April 29, 1837 – September 30, 1891) was a French general and politician who seemed at the apogee of his popularity in January 1889 to pose the threat of a coup d'état and the establishment of a dictatorship. With his base of support in working districts of Paris and other cities, he promoted an aggressive nationalism aimed against Germany. Until recently it was considered a proto-fascist right-wing movement. However scholars in recent decades have argued that the Boulangist movement more often represented elements of the radical left rather than the extreme Right. As Jacques Néré says, "Boulangism was first and foremost a popular movement of the extreme left". Irvine says he had some royalist support but that, "Boulangism is better understood as the coalescence of the fragmented forces of the Left."   This interpretation is part of a consensus that France's radical Right was formed in part during the Dreyfus era by men who had been Boulangist partisans of the radical Left a decade earlier.

She has conducted workshops all over the globe, including Korea, Russia, and Asia.  Her work has also extended to prisons, using Shakespeare as a vessel to find confidence in speaking and response to imagery.  One of her earliest teachers was Barbara Bunch.  She stated her thoughts about her own work in New Theatre Quarterly saying that, “I see my job as intrinsically to do the following: (i) through exercises to open out the voice itself so that the actor finds her/his true potential – after all, do not singers train? (ii) by working on text – hearing and listening – to give the actor choice, and power over that choice” (1997, 48).  She talks about being able to find pleasure in being articulate through Shakespeare and poetry.  It puts actors in touch with their imagination, and therefore, can lead them to their own greater self-awareness.  Cicely Berry’s exercises tend to be based on resistance and rougher, physical work.  One of her favorite quotes is from Thomas Kyd’s play The Spanish Tragedy:  “Where words prevail not, violence prevails.”

Guerrero spent her childhood years in Nogales, Arizona, and the border sense of that experience infuses her work.  Her characters inhabit two worlds—often literally but virtually always metaphorically:  their traditional hispanic roots are often at war with the more transient values of the modern United States.  Her stories often focus on young people facing their own moments of transition.  Tree of Sighs has recently won the Christopher Isherwood Award.  Guerrero's work has brought her a solid core of admirers. Kirkus says that she "explores the Mexican community with sensitivity and respect," and Publishers Weekly observes that the "plainspoken declarations of her struggling characters give a quiet resonance to her tales."  Luis Urrea calls Chasing Shadows"marvelous," and Ricardo Parra labels it a "captivatingly good read."  (Amazon.com)

Author	Peter Filkins is an American poet and literary translator. Filkins graduated from Williams College with a Bachelor of Arts and from Columbia University with a Master of Fine Arts degree. Filkins is best known for his translations of post-war German literature into English. Filkins was the first to translate H. G. Adler's novels into English.  Adler, a Jewish Czech intellectual, survived several Nazi concentration camps and wrote both novels and non-fiction about the Holocaust. The Journey and Panorama, the two novels Filkins translated, were written soon after the war – The Journey in 1950–1951 and Panorama in 1948, but publishers disliked Adler's literary take on the Holocaust and they were not published until the 1960s, and then largely ignored during Adler's lifetime.  Writing in The New Yorker, Ruth Franklin described Adler's books as "modernist masterpieces worthy of comparison to those of Kafka or Musil". Before Filkins' project, only one of Adler's books, a work of history, had been translated into English, a situation that one scholar of German literature described as “one of the great intellectual scandals of our time.”  Filkins decided to translate Adler's work after discovering The Journey at Schoenhof's Foreign Books, a used book store in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Filkins' translation of Panorama was listed as one of the best books of 2011 by The New Republic's editorial staff.

Author	Ken Uston (January 12, 1935 – September 19, 1987) was a famous blackjack player, strategist, and author, credited with popularizing the concept of team play at blackjack. During the early to mid-1970s he gained widespread notoriety for perfecting techniques to do team card counting in numerous casinos worldwide, earning millions of dollars from the casinos, with some bets as high as $12,000 on a single hand. He then became famous for being banned from casinos around the world, and thus became a master of disguise as he would adopt various costumes in order to conceal his true identity and still be able to play. He is also known for filing a high-profile lawsuit against these casinos, and successfully received a ruling from the New Jersey courts that casinos could not ban someone simply for counting cards at blackjack. In response, many casinos changed their systems, increasing the number of decks in games, or changing rules to increase the house edge. In the early 1980s, Uston also authored several popular books on video games and personal computers.  He was the subject of a 1981 segment on 60 Minutes, and in 2005, he was the subject of the History Channel documentary, "The Blackjack Man".

Journalist	Adeline E. Knapp (March 14, 1860 – c. June 1909) was an American journalist, author, social activist, environmentalist and educator, who is today remembered largely for her tempestuous lesbian relationship with Charlotte Perkins Gilman.  In her lifetime, Knapp was known as a fixture of the turn-of-the-century San Francisco Bay Area literary scene.  An outspoken writer who often addressed controversial topics in her columns for the San Francisco Call, Knapp wrote on a wide range of subjects from livestock to the Annexation of Hawaii.  Though often drawn to progressive causes like child labor and conservation, Knapp also tended to espouse reactionary views, as evidenced by her anti-Chinese sentiments and criticisms of the women's suffrage movement.  At a time when many American women were joining the movement to extend political and voting rights to women, Knapp spoke in state senate hearings in New York expressing doubts about the benefits of suffrage to women, and she allowed her speeches and letters on the topic to be used as propaganda by the anti-suffragism movement.  Knapp was also the author of numerous short stories, as well as a novel set in the Arizona desert — works reflecting her outdoor enthusiast sensibilities, keen intellect, and interest in Western regionalism.  These works, though praised in her lifetime, today have few readers among enthusiasts of Western fiction.

Author	Antonio Gattorno (born Havana, March 15, 1904 - died Acushnet, Massachusetts, 1980) was a Cuban painter. Antonio Gattorno was a distinguished member of the first generation of "modern" Cuban painters. He studied at the Academy of San Alejandro in that city before winning a scholarship, in 1919, which allowed him to travel to Europe for further study.  There he encountered Mannerism and social realism, which together with the work of Paul Gauguin would form the major influence on his work; during his sojourn he roomed with sculptor Juan José Sicre. After completing college he returned to Cuba in 1926, and the following year-a time noted for its importance to modern art in Cuba-exhibited his works such as Mujeres en el Río, a Deco representation of an idyllic tropical scene based on monumental female nudes. He became part of the "Vanguardia", along with Victor Manuel, Amelia Peláez, and Wifredo Lam.  He became an instructor at his alma mater, and executed public murals around Cuba. Gattorno developed his mature style in the early 1930s, concentrating on the depiction of Cuban peasants and their environment. The paintings that resulted from his maturity as an artist fluctuated between idyllic views of the Cuban countryside and criticism of Cuba's social conditions. In contrast to his radiant representation of nature and indications of a pastoral way of life, Gattorno depicted the guajiro as being emaciated and sad due to impoverished conditions. Given the representation of the land as radiant and bountiful, the most likely culprit for his peasants' look of dejection and impoverishment would have been the social system. Gattorno's association with socialist leaning writers tend to confirm the interpretation of some of his guajiro figures as a social critique of life in the Cuban countryside of the 1930s. His major contribution to his generation's discourse of national ethos was an idealized vision of the land and a critical view of its most humble inhabitants, making both the primary symbols of Cuba. His first exhibition in the United States, in 1936, was sponsored by Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos.  In 1940 he married and moved to Greenwich Village; he visited Cuba again only in 1946, but spent the next thirty years in New York City.  He remained in the United States for most of the rest of his career, in the process alienating many in the Cuban art community.  He died in Massachusetts in 1980.

Author	was born Otani Kokichi in Edo. He was a low-ranking samurai who was adopted by the Katsu family in order to marry the only Katsu daughter, Nobuko. Kokichi's father, Otani Heizo, was a minor official in the shogunate. His half brother, Otani Hikoshiro, was twenty-five years older than Kokichi.  After their father's retirement as family head, Hikoshiro became responsible for all the family; he was a noted calligrapher and Confucian scholar and was twice distinguished as district administrator within the shogun's domain. By contrast, Katsu Kokichi led a life of idleness, never achieving an official post and supplementing his small (41 koku) income by dealing in swords, among other things.  The other things, contrary to samurai-class ideals, included acting as a security guard and lending money at high interest. When Kokichi's son Rintaro (later to become the famous naval commander Katsu Kaishū) was fifteen, Kokichi retired as family head, passing on that duty to young Rintaro.  During his last days, Kokichi wrote an autobiography (one of the few surviving from pre-Meiji Japan) titled Musui Dokugen ("Musui's Story"), narrating his life and adventures in a style much like that of the picaresque novel. This book is an excellent description of low life in Edo during the late Tokugawa Shogunate. Katsu Kokichi died in Edo in 1850, three years before Commodore Matthew C. Perry reached Japan.

Although she is the leading lady of Jomari Yllana and is, in fact, billed alongside his name, her character is basically secondary to the flow of the story (her first scene, in fact, comes much later in the movie). But whether lead or support, Ara Mina had already proven her worth as an actress in films like Mano Po 2 and Huling Birhen sa Lupa--the two films that had already given her acting trophies in the past. In Minsan Pa, she delivers another fine performance that is worth of more acting awards.

After receiving a degree in Political Science and International Relations from Bosphorus University in Turkey, he held a number of different positions, but never settled down. While Elşen Hudiyev's early works proved to be a bit raw, his series of "Abnormal Poetry", as well as other later works, are written in deep emotional, symbolic, and pessimistic style. Mainly concerned with global problems rather than local, Hudiyev writes primarily in Turkish and very rarely in Azeri. Although the majority of his poetry is written in free verse, he also authored some haiku and sonnets. Hudiyev is an important literary figure, mainly because his poetry can be described as 'new wave poetry of Azerbaijan' and he is the second poet after Huseyn Javid writing in Turkish rather than native Azeri language.

Although he argues that his prose is not philosophical, deep philosophy is often hidden behind his plain dialogue-based essays. In this manner, Hudiyev feels that his works resemble a catechism book of humanism.

He was a cultural critic in the tradition of Matthew Arnold and a consistent opponent of romanticism, as represented by the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Politically he can, without serious distortion, be called a follower of Aristotle and Edmund Burke. He was an advocate of classical humanism but also offered an ecumenical defense of religion.

Babbitt’s humanism emphasized the need for self-discipline and control, and suppression of the impulses seeking liberation from all restraints.  He warned that Jean-Jacques Rousseau was the major corrupting influence on modern culture.  He complained that Romanticism celebrated too much the individual instinct and uniqueness of personality by denying the universal aspects of human nature as depicted in classical pre-romantic literature.  He also attacked naturalism, which was popular at the time because it  depicted man as a reflex agent of natural forces, and stressed the dominance of the environment over human institutions.

Author	Nethanel ben Isaiah (14th century) (in Hebrew, Netaniel ben Yeshaiahu) was a Yemenite Jewish rabbi, Biblical commentator and poet of the fourteenth century.  He is best known as the author of a homiletic commentary on the Torah entitled Nur al-Zulm wa-Mashbah al-Hikm. The first notice of this work was given by Jacob Saphir, who saw a manuscript of it at Hirbah, a small town in Yemen, in 1863. But the beginning of the manuscript was missing, and Saphir's statement that the author's name was Isaiah and that the title was Al-Nur wal-Zulm depends only upon hearsay. Two other manuscripts, one in Berlin and one in the Bodleian Library, bear the author's name, Nethanel ben Isaiah, and the full title of the work, Nur al-Zulm wa-Mashbah al-Hikm wa-Ikhraj al-Ma'ani fi al-Wujud Ba'd al'Adm. Alexander Kohut published a monograph on this work, giving some extracts, under the title "Light of Shade and Lamp of Wisdom" (New York, 1894). This title is given by Kohut as the translation of the Arabic title, though "Light out of Darkness" would be a more fitting translation, since Nethanel's introduction shows that his object was to comment on the obscure passages so as to make sure that their meanings should not escape the student.

Politician	Ignacio Gregorio Comonfort de los Ríos (12 March 1812 – 13 November 1863) was a Mexican politician and soldier. He became President of Mexico in 1855 after a revolt based in Ayutla overthrew Santa Anna. Comonfort was a  moderate liberal who tried to maintain an uncertain coalition, but the moderate liberals and the radical liberals were unable to resolve their sharp differences.  During his presidency, the Constitution of 1857 was drafted creating the Second Federal Republic of Mexico. The new constitution restricted some of the Catholic Church's traditional privileges regarding land holdings, revenues and control over education.  It granted religious freedom, stating only that the Catholic Church was the favored faith. The anti-clerical radicals scored a major victory with the ratification of the constitution, because it weakened the Church and enfranchised illiterate commoners.  The constitution was unacceptable to the clergy and the conservatives, and they plotted a revolt. With the Plan of Tacubaya in December 1857, Comonfort tried to regain the popular support from the growing conservative pro-clerical movement. The liberals failed, however, as conservative General Félix Zuloaga overthrew  Comonfort in January, 1858.

Author	Bion (Greek: Βίων, gen.: Βίωνος), Greek bucolic poet, was a native of the city of Smyrna and flourished about 100 BC. Most of his work is lost. There remain 17 fragments (preserved in ancient anthologies) and the Epitaph of Adonis, a mythological poem on the death of Adonis and the lament of Aphrodite (preserved in several late medieval manuscripts of bucolic poetry). Some of the fragments show the pastoral themes that were typical of ancient Greek bucolic poetry, while others attest the broader thematic interpretation of the bucolic form that prevailed in the later Hellenistic period. They are often concerned with love, mainly homosexual.  Besides Adonis, other myths that appear in his work are those of Hyacinthus and the Cyclops; to judge from references in the Epitaph on Bion, which frequently alludes to Bion's work, he also wrote a poem on Orpheus, to which some of the extant fragments may have belonged. The Greek texts of Bion's poems are generally included in the editions of Theocritus. There is no particular reason to think that the  Epithalamium of Achilles and Deidameia, preserved in bucolic manuscripts and usually included under his name in modern editions, is Bion's work.

Author	Barbara Probst is a photographer and contemporary artist, born in Munich in 1964.  She lives and works in New York and Munich.  Probst’s images use multiple points of view by employing as many as twelve cameras and tripods, arranged around the subject, to photograph multiple points of view captured in separate images but taken simultaneously with a single radio-controlled shutter release. "All of the images of a series present different views of the same place or event at the same moment." While traditional photography directs the viewer to see a single image, Probst’s sequences are composed of a series of separate, though related images incorporating multiple perspective of a single moment.  Her photographs cause viewers to experience a shift in time while reconsidering their presence in physical space.  "Barbara Probst embroils us in different possible interpretations; focusing on a specific moment in time… she directs our attention to the time before or after…"  Her work disregards photography’s standard concept of “decisive moment,” and instead references cinema’s practice of multiple cameras to create movement and diversion.

Author	Lewis Hanke (1905–1993) was a preeminent U.S. historian of colonial Latin America, and is best known for his writings on the Spanish conquest of Latin America. Hanke, along with two others, Irving A. Leonard and John T.

Author	Bieiris de Roman(s) (from Bietris, also Beatriz or Beatritz; English: "Beatrice") was a trobairitz of the first half of the thirteenth century. Her birthplace was Romans near Montélimar.  Other than her name, which includes her place of birth, nothing is known of the details of her life, which has led to a significant gap in knowledge for scholarship analyzing her work.  She left behind one canso, "Na Maria, pretz e fina valors" ("Lady Maria, in your merit and distinction"), addressed to another woman named Mary. The poem is written in the typical troubadour style of courtly love and has been consequently analyzed as a lesbian poem. Bieiris may, however, be simply writing from the masculine point of view, fully immersing herself in the masculinity of the genre. Nonetheless, the certain ascription of the poem to a woman makes it unlikely that there was any attempt to "fool" the audience: the poem is consequently emasculated.  The Na Maria of the poem has even been interpreted as the Virgin Mary, and the sincerity and innocence of the lyrics do not disqualify it.

Later he faced some criticism in the black community for supporting Daniel Patrick Moynihan (see Assistant Secretary of Labor; controversy over the War on Poverty) and defending the state of Israel. On June 9, 1980, he was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter. After his retirement, he wrote a Sunday editorial column for The Baltimore Sun, every Sunday, until he died in 1984.  The Sun called it "an extraordinary commentary on the civil rights movement."  On March 23, 1984, the Sharp Street Memorial United Methodist Church overflowed with 2,500 mourners who gathered from around the country to pay their respects.  Included among them was Harry R. Hughes, the Governor of Maryland, William Donald Schaefer, the Mayor of Baltimore, Benjamin Hooks, director of the NAACP, and Dorothy Height, president of the National Council of Negro Women. A week after his death, the newspaper proposed that there be a physical memorial to Mitchell.  Mayor Schaefer agreed and appointed a commission to study the recommendation. Today, the main court house in Baltimore City has been renamed the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Courthouse as well as a  building that houses the engineering program at Morgan State University.

Author	William Cowper Prime (1825–1905) was an American journalist, art historian, numismatist, and travel writer, younger brother of S. I. Prime and E. D. G. Prime, born at Cambridge, New York.  William Prime graduated Princeton in 1843 and delivered a poem at commencement.  He was admitted to the New York Bar in 1846 and began to practice law in New York City. In 1851 he married Mary Trumbull of Stonington, Connecticut (Dictionary of Art Historians). During 1855 and 1856, Prime traveled in Europe, North Africa, and the Holy Land.  He published Boat Life in Egypt and Nubia and Tent Life in the Holy Land based on his experiences there, which include his accounts of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dead Sea, and the port of Jaffa, among others.  In The Innocents Abroad, Mark Twain parodies Tent Life in the Holy Land as Grime's Nomadic Life in Palestine, taking aim at Prime's overly sentimental prose and his violent encounters with the local inhabitants.  Twain makes the contemporary popularity of Tent Life evident in his parody: "Some of us will be shot before we finish this pilgrimage.  The pilgrims read ‘Nomadic Life’ and keep themselves in a constant state of Quixotic heroism." Twain speculates that if a homicide did occur, Grimes should be prosecuted as an "accessory before the fact."  Prime continued practicing law until 1861, when he became part owner and editor-in-chief of the New York Journal of Commerce.  In 1869 he gave up his editorial work and revisited Egypt and the Holy Land.  It was at his insistence that Princeton established a department of art history, to which he donated his extensive collection of ceramic art.  In 1884, the Trustees of the College elected Prime as the department's first chair.  His interest in art matters brought him into close connection with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, of which he was elected first vice-president in 1874.  His published writings include:

Author	Rutebeuf (or Rustebuef) (ca. 1245 – 1285), a trouvère, was born in the first half of the 13th century, possibly in Champagne (he describes conflicts in Troyes in 1249); he was evidently of humble birth, and he was a Parisian by education and residence. His name is nowhere mentioned by his contemporaries. He frequently plays in his verse on the word Rutebeuf, which was probably a nom de guerre (pseudonym used by soldiers), and is variously explained by him as derived from rude boeuf and rude oeuvre ("coarse ox" or "rustic piece of work").  Paulin Paris thought that he began life in the lowest rank of the minstrel profession as a jongleur (juggler and musician). Some of his poems have autobiographical value. In Le Mariage de Rutebeuf ("The Marriage of Rutebeuf") he says that on the 2 January 1261 he married a woman old and ugly, with neither dowry nor amiability. In the Complainte de Rutebeuf he details a series of misfortunes which have reduced him to abject destitution. In these circumstances he addresses himself to Alphonse, comte de Poitiers, brother of Louis IX, for relief. Other poems in the same vein reveal that his own miserable circumstances were chiefly due to a love of play, particularly a game played with dice; which was known as griesche. It would seem that his distress could not be due to lack of patrons; for his metrical Life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary was written by request of Erard de Valery, who wished to present it to Isabel, queen of Navarre; and he wrote elegies on the deaths of Anceau de l'Isle Adam, the third of the name, who died about 1251, Eudes, comte de Nevers (died 1267), Theobald II of Navarre (died  1270), and Alphonse, comte de Poitiers (d. 1271), which were probably paid for by the families of the personages celebrated. In the Pauvreté de Rutebeuf ("The Poverty of Rutebeuf"), he addresses Louis IX himself.

Author	Jørgen-Frantz Jacobsen  (November 29, 1900 – March 24, 1938) was a Faroese writer, which occupies a distinct place in Scandinavian literature. He is the only Faroese writer to achieve international best-seller status. This status derives from his sole novel, Barbara: Roman (1939; translated, 1948 and 1993), which has the added cachet of being one of the few Scandinavian novels to be translated twice into English within the space of fifty years. The novel was translated into five other languages shortly after the first edition in Danish. It was also adapted as a motion picture directed by Nils Malmros in 1997 (see Barbara). These facts, together with Jacobsen's essays, a study of the Faroe Islands published in the guise of a travel guide, and a volume of his letters, are sufficient to suggest that had he lived longer, he would have been one of the outstanding literary figures in Scandinavia in the twentieth century. He must moreover be seen in the context of his being one of five Faroese writers, all born between 1900 and 1903, who represent a remarkable blossoming of literature in a country which had no tradition of literature in a modern sense. Jacobsen, together with William Heinesen, Christian Matras, Heðin Brú, and Martin Joensen, created modern Faroese literature, whether writing in Danish, as did Jacobsen and Heinesen, or Faroese, as did the others.

Author	William Augustus Muhlenberg (16 September 1796–8 April 1877) was a famous Episcopal clergyman who accomplished many different things in a long life of service to God and others.  For example, Muhlenberg is considered not only the father of a very unique kind of education in the United States (see "Church school" below); he was also an early exponent of the Social Gospel, founded St. Luke's Hospital in New York City, and should be seen as an early leader of the liturgical movement in Anglican Christianity.  While Muhlenberg's model schools on Long Island had a significant impact on the history of American education, especially by way of the graduates who founded other schools all over the United States, Muhlenberg left his work in secondary education in 1845.  It may well be the case that Muhlenberg became so famous for his post-1845 achievements that many students of Episcopal or educational history do not even know of his fame as a schoolmaster, a vocation to which he gave himself heart and soul between 1818 and 1845.

Before his death, Rosenberg recorded a video message saying if he were murdered, Álvaro Colom Caballeros, President of Guatemala, would have been directly responsible. His subsequent killing caused a national uproar. After an investigation by a United Nations commission, officials declared that Rosenberg had arranged his own death and had contacted cousins of his former wife, Francisco José Ramón Valdés Paiz and José Estuardo Valdés Paiz to hire a hitman.  Carlos Castresana, the head of the CICIG, the United Nations Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala, who headed the investigation at that time, emphasized that this was a provisional hypothesis. The cousins accused were sent to jail for complicity in a hearing behind closed doors, where they have remained without a trial for more than two years. Further investigation by the same commission has turned up links between the killers that shot Rosenberg and those of Marjorie and Khalil Musa.

His works include a History of Christianity and God's Messenger, about the Protestant martyr, William Tyndale and his relationship with Thomas More. He has travelled extensively to Russia and has written three books on Russian history. as well as three on aspects of Christianity. Because of his journalistic background, Moynahan's writing has been described as being, "mercifully free of the sludge that often clogs academic treatises", and has enabled him to become a best-seller. ON 3 JUNE 2013 is added as follows: Moynahan's book William Tyndale: If God spare my life, is a remarkably vivid and compelling account of the life of one of the most determined and single minded of the new reformers who saw the need for a translation of the Bible from the Latin or Greek of other versions into the vernacular accessible to anyone who read English.  This brought him into conflict with the Church who for the most part was opposed to any suggestion that access to the written word should be other than through the mouths of the ordained clergy.  Thomas More as Chancellor of England whose remit was to uphold and enforce the law proved to be Tyndale's bitterest enemy and Moynahan shows in the pages of his book how More used every device and scheme to seize Tyndale, bring him back to England with the clear and expressed intent to have him brought before an ecclesiastical court as a heretic, to be so charged and convicted of the offence and then handed over to the civil authority to be dealt with in the words of More himself, by the 'short fyre'.  In the event Tyndale suffered but not in England despite every endeavor of the Church and More to seize him but was betrayed in May 1535 to the authorities in Antwerp and there 16 months later on 6 October 1536 he was burned at the stake at Vilvoorde having completed his life's work of translating the Bible into his mother tongue, while More, who 'revelled in burnings' faced execution by the axe at the hands of his master Henry VIII, for his treason in refusing to acknowledge Henry as Governor of the Church in England.  Centuries later More is 'sainted', while Tyndale's memorial is the King James Bible of 1611, acknowledged by scholars as overwhelmingly Tyndale's work; 'for the love of God's words and their readers...Tyndale died having created the most familiar work in the English language... a labour of love'.

Author	Zephaniah Swift Moore (November 20, 1770 – June 29, 1823) was an American Congregational clergyman and educator. He taught at Dartmouth College during the early 1810s and had a house built in Hanover, New Hampshire that now serves as Dartmouth's Blunt Alumni Center.  He served as the President of Williams College between 1815 and 1821 and the first President of Amherst College between 1821 and 1823. He is most famous for abandoning Williams in order to found Amherst, taking some of the faculty and 15 students with him. Supposedly, he also took portions of the Williams College library with him. Though plausible, this account is unsubstantiated, and was declared false in 1995 by Williams College President Harry C. Payne. Moore died two years after Amherst was founded, and was succeeded by Heman Humphrey, a trustee of Williams College. His departure from Williams established the foundation for the intense Williams-Amherst rivalry that persists to the present. To this day, he is regarded with a measure of derision on the Williams campus.

Jen made a shocking move during the competition when she offered to give away half of the total grand prize, should she win the game. She also agreed to eat slop for the next thirty days.

Later that day, she also engaged in a controversial fight with houseguest Dick, in which she was burned by one of his cigarettes. She was evicted by a unanimous five to zero vote (six votes total, due to her penalty vote), and became the second member of the Jury. Despite statements made during the game that she may not go to sequester, she was shown entering the sequester house a few weeks later. She voted for Daniele to win the grand prize.

He served as Minister of Works (1924–25) before becoming a member of parliament (1925–27). He was appointed ambassador to Britain (1927–28) and was briefly Minister of the Interior (1930). Al-Pachachi opposed the 1930 Anglo-Iraqi Treaty because it failed to meet nationalist demands. He held a succession of ambassadorial posts: ambassador to the League of Nations (1933–35), to Italy (1935-39), and to France (1939–42). During the occupation of France in World War II, al-Pachachi stayed in Switzerland. He became active in the 1930s and 1940s in pro-Palestinian activities and opposed the 1948 United Nations truce in Palestine. The prime ministers of Iraq in 1948 were Sayyid Muhammad as-Sadr (January–June) and Muzahim al-Pachachi (June 1948-January 1949), both were distinguished personalities who were not part of the pro-British political circle and whose governments included ministers who identified with the anti-British elements.  It was under the leadership of Pachachi that Iraq sent 18,000 troops to Palestine in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, making them the largest Arab force there. It was also during this time that Iraq led the Arab Liberation Army. On July 14, Zionist activity in Iraq was made a crime punishable by death or life imprisonment by the Pachachi government. On August 31, 1948, Jamal al-Husayni the Foreign Minister of the All-Palestine Government and brother of Hajj Amin al-Husayni stated "Fortunately el Pachachi happens to be Prime Minister. He is straightforward and good-hearted. He is now in the Lebanon and Syria to bring about the unification of their two armies." Pachachi argued for the forming of a united military command for all of the Arab forces engaged in the Arab-Israeli war, he expressed bitter disappointment when the other Arab states turned down his proposal on November 8.  He stated on December 29th, 1948 that "war was the only means to save Palestine." The Pachachi government also cut off the oil pipeline from northern Iraq to Haifa in protest against the Israeli declaration of independence, despite pressure from Britain, France and the United States. Stopping the oil pipeline cost Iraq £1,000,000 a year in lost revenue. Henry Mack, the British ambassador to Iraq was troubled by this, stating that the Pachachi cabinet had an "intransigent attitude on Palestine."  The eventual Iraqi defeats in Palestine brought down al-Pachachi’s government and his cabinet fell in January 1949. The new Prime Minister Nuri as-Said chose to withdraw the Iraqi troops from Palestine in March 1949. Pachachi was later appointed deputy Prime Minister (1949–50) and Minister of Foreign Affairs (1949-50), he strongly opposed the 1949 Armistice Agreements signed by Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria with Israel.

Author	Judith Ariana Fitzgerald (born 11 November 1952) is a Canadian poet and journalist.  Born in Toronto, Ontario, she attended York University (where she earned her B.A. and M.A; she did her doctoral work at the University of Toronto).  The award-winning poet, critic, and cultural commentarian published her first poem October 1970. She also works as a biographer, ghost writer, and editor as well as writing columns on creative phenomena such as poetry, music, and sports for publications such as Toronto's The Globe & Mail The Toronto Star The National Post Innings Ottawa's The Ottawa Citizen and The Philadelphia Inquirer among several others over 40 years.  Her poetry, literary journalism, and critical/theoretical commentaria, published and anthologised in leading periodicals and journals throughout the world, decries postmodernism.  Irving Layton, in his praise of her, called her the last of The Great Modernists, a compliment she cherishes as much as Leonard Cohen's addendum, "I agree with Irving only moreso."  Blacklisted by Canadian novelists and poets on juries and panels awarding precious funds for survival (a word employed with emphasis), she lives (barely) at the age of 60 on the good graces of Ontario's Disability Support Programme following an attack that hospitalised her with ARDS and turned her into an Agoraphobe (2 June 2002) in Northern Ontario's Almaguin Highlands and hates it intensely, calling her so-called home "The Hamlet Without a Heart" (which will appear as her first novel in 2015).  Her now ex-husband, poet Daniel Jalowica, left her in 2008 because he found the landscapde too harsh and could not contribute financially to the couple's expenses.  "You will die here alone without me," said he, the last words he ever spoke to her.  On those days when her health and strength permit her to write, she completes "Leonard Cohen:  Master of Song" (which proves the Canadian legend is the world's contemporary Shakespeare) as well as what she calls "MLB" ("My Last Book"), a collection of poetry provisionally titled "Night-Stepping in the Key of C," several passages of which have been published online and offline in the usual cut-above literary publications including such as Rampike, Poetry, Hamilton's Arts & Letters, Cosmoetica, Dusey, The Oxford Book of Poetry by Canadian Women and, most recently, Six of One, a poem she co-wrote with Leonard Cohen in memory of Robert Kroetsch.  After 40 years of writing journalism and columns for several newspapers and magazines, she retired from The Globe and Mail 9 February 2012.  She has no children since her monster-in-law insisted she have an abortion (which was botched and lead to a complete hysterectomy); rather, she has had three dogs, the first named "Mc," the second named "Lu," and her current constant companion, "Han."  (Together, the three mutts spell Mc Lu Han.)  Of course, her current little HannaH GrrL is featured on her own YouTube channel and knows all the words to Leonard Cohen's "Tower Of Song."  (Search:  DameLucky, her screen name, for HannaH GrrL's amazing dancing feet/feats to said tune :).)  Additionally, FYI, David Jones's Official Biographer, Killam Fellow Dr. Thomas Dilworth has called her a genius and probably the most brilliant poet writing in English in the Western World, a fact which may explain why she is a Poetry Fellow of The Chalmers Arts Foundation (which allowed her to install a new transmission and do body work on her still-motoring 1990 Dodge Dakota, Adam.  She does not answer telephone calls nor accept visitors, believing, as George Carlin so eloquently and elegantly expressed it, the Canadian Dream, comparable with the American one, exists because everyone sleepwalks through life ).  A practising Catholic, Fitzgerald holds Lord Conrad Black and Dr. Marshall McLuhan, both converts to THE Faith, in the highest esteem.  Once a year, at 4:00 in the mourning, the end of December, she writes a letter to an individual she admires and holds in the highest regard (including lifelong friend and supporter Dr. Stompin' Tom Connors as well as brilliant Vancouver poet Maxine Gadd, to ID but a pair of her shining beacons of hope, joy, and brilliance).  Because of the 2002 attack, her doctors inform her she will not live to see 65.  Life is short; death lasts forever.  She eats when she has food and wears threadbare clothes from the days when she actually could afford such luxuries.  Most recently, she invested her life savings hiring a "professional" painter who destroyed her home, Sheila Rustin, a painkiller addict who buys her Percocets from crossdresser Jim Cripps (Google).  She gave up housework after the destruction and simply lives, writes, and sleeps (or eats when she has food).  She wishes Margaret Ondaatje all the best since their limited world-vision cannot admit of any other talent besides their minimal amount of same.  'Nuff said.

Author	Ernest G. McClain (born August 6, 1918 in Massillon, Ohio), is professor emeritus of music at Brooklyn College.  He is known for his efforts to establish the ancient mathematical discipline of music as the means to unlock the deepest meaning of history's great religious and philosophical texts.  His writings offer a persuasive explanation of crucial passages in texts of world literature—the Bible, the Rig Veda, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Plato -- that have defied experts in the concerned disciplines.  All of these passages deal with numbers that have either been ignored or misinterpreted throughout the centuries.  McClain is able to explain the meaning of these numbers within the context of four ancient mathematical disciplines: arithmetic, music, geometry and astronomy.  His discovery of identical or similar numbers and parallel mathematical constructs in Sumer, Egypt, Babylon, Palestine and Greece, confirms growing speculation about the historical continuity of a common spiritual tradition linking the microcosm of the soul to the macrocosm of the universe.  His work provides much of the missing mathematical detail for what scholars often call the Music of the Spheres.
