<mask> (July 16, 1906 – April 28, 2001) was an American poet, novelist and folklorist. He lived most of his life in a log house along the Dead Mare Branch of Little Carr Creek, Knott County, Kentucky. He was best known for the novel River of Earth, which depicted the struggles of coal mining in eastern Kentucky. Life

Early life
Lonie, <mask>'s mother was sixteen when she moved to Alabama due to a tornado destroying the family home. His father, J<mask>, was a horse doctor with no formal training. <mask> was born July 16, 1906 near Lafayette, Alabama. <mask> was considered a quiet child but a hard worker.He along with his nine siblings worked the family farm. They farmed cotton, sugar cane, soybeans and corn. At the age of seven, <mask> began grade school. He found greater interest not in the school text books but at home where there was an edition of the Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge. He became enriched with philosophy, physics and the great British poets – Shakespeare and Keats. Education
After graduating from high school, <mask> attended Lincoln Memorial University of Harrogate, Tennessee. He worked at the rock quarry in the afternoons and as a library janitor in the evenings.He would often sleep at the library after spending the night reading countless literature.

Still tried various professions including the Civil Service Corps, Bible salesman, and even a stint picking cotton in Texas.His friend Don West—a poet and civil rights activist, among other things—offered <mask> a job organizing recreation programs for a Bible school in Knott County, Kentucky. <mask> accepted the position but soon became a volunteer librarian at the Hindman Settlement School. Knott County would become <mask>'s lifelong home, though for many years he was the creative force behind the Morehead Writers' Workshop at nearby Morehead State University, where he taught literature during the 1960s. <mask> served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army in World War II and was stationed in Egypt in 1944. Literature
<mask> moved into a two-story log house once occupied by a crafter of dulcimers, Jethro Amburgey. He would remain here till his death. Here, he began writing his masterpiece, River of Earth.It was published February 5, 1940. River of Earth is a discussion of change in Appalachia, depicted as the struggles of a family trying to survive by either subsisting off the land or entering the coal mines of the Cumberland Plateau in the reaches of eastern Kentucky. This tension is depicted in the tension between Brack and Alpha Baldridge. Alpha Baldridge longs for settled solidity. "Forever I've wanted to set us down in a lone spot, a place certain and enduring, with room to swing arm and elbow, . . . . So many places we've lived—the far side of one mine camp and next the slag pile of another. I'm longing to set me down shorely and raise my chaps proper (50–51)."Conversely, her husband Brack is committed to the mines and answers her as the

 family provider: "It was never meant for a body to be full content on the face of this earth. Against my wont it is to be treading the camps, but its bread I'm hunting, regular bread with a mite of grease on it. To make and provide, it's the only trade I know, and I work willing (51)." His version of stability is perhaps more transitory than hers. She longs to see things grow of a season, whether gardens or children; he looks for the high-return of mine work, despite the dangers (which are not major factors in the book) and the irregularity of the work. She is willing to trade the sentence of living from hand to mouth through the year for the security of a personal place; he, to endure famine for the short seasons of feasting that mine work allows. The perspectives of both characters represent the dead-end choices of Appalachians who chose to remain in the hills.<mask> received the Southern Author's Award shortly after publication, which he shared with Thomas Wolfe for Wolfe's work You Can't Go Home Again. <mask> went on to publish a few collections of poetry and short stories, a juvenile novel and a compilation of Appalachian local color he collected over the years. The children's book "Jack and the Wonderbeans" was adapted for the stage by the Lexington Children's Theatre in 1992. <mask> participated in one performance, reading a portion of the book to open the show. He died April 28, 2001 at the age of 94. Legacy

He is a finalist of the Prix Pictet Photography Prize, a Lucie Awards International Photographer of the Year, winner of the Prix Photo La Quatrieme Image, winner of the Ville de Perpignan Remi Ochlik Award at Visa pour l’Image, a Magnum Photos competition ‘30 under 30’ for emerging documentary photographers, finalist of the W.

Dondyuk was born in the Ukrainian SSR. His first long-term projects Uman, Rosh Hashana (2008–2012), The Crimea Sich (2010–2013), TB epidemic in Ukraine (2010–2012) are analyses of the time, situation. Not being interested in stereotypes, he is a direct participant in the events, and uses personal experience and emotions to emphasize their basic meaning.From the project Culture of the Confrontation (2013–2014), Dondyuk's perception of photography has changed. He began filling his works with second meaning and associational level. He doesn't want to specify the time period, the place and reasons. Through photography he wants to show eternal themes, wants people to associate his works "with their memories from reading books, music, their own life." Dondyuk's works were presented during the festivals in Arles, Paris, Minsk and published in magazines such

texts:
<mask> is a Ghanaian writer, art historian and filmmaker. Background

<mask>a Oforiatta Ayim was raised in Germany, England, and her ancestral homeland in Ghana. She studied Russian and Politics at the University of Bristol and went on to work in the Department of Political Affairs at United Nations in New York. She completed her master's degree in African Art History at SOAS University of London. Oforiatta <mask> comes from a political family in Ghana, the Ofori-Attas, whose power spans both the traditional and the modern. Her maternal grandfather was <mask>, the renowned king of Akyem Abuakwa who was hailed as the Louis XIV of Africa, and her great-uncle was J. B. Danquah, the scholar and politician who gave Ghana its name and started the political party that brought about Independence

Writing
Her first novel The God Child was published by Bloomsbury Publishing in the UK in 2019, the US in 2020 and by Penguin Random House in Germany in 2021.Writer Ayesha Harruna Attah describes the book as an "expansive and contemplative debut, themes of art, history, literature, film, and legacy intermingle with Maya's coming-of-age. In the New York Times, Tope Folarin writes: "This is a story that is obsessed with stories; indeed, 'The God Child' could be described as a series of sharply drawn short fictions, each consequential on its own, each only glancingly connected to the others… As I read this book, with all its leaps in time and space, I sometimes had the sense that there was another narrative running just beneath the surface of the text, some alternate story that the characters I was reading about simultaneously inhabited… Kojo and Maya's migrations eventually lead them back to Ghana, where they hope to find material they need to complete their story, years in the making. A story that, like this one, will illuminate Ghana's history; a story that will coax something whole from the broken parts of their lives." In

He is also a Professor of Public Service Innovation with the School of Government and International Relations at Griffith University, in Brisbane, Australia. From 2003 to 2011, he was Executive Director of the Serco Institute, a London-based think tank specialising in the design and management of public service markets. He was previously Cabinet Secretary in New South Wales, Australia, under Premier Nick Greiner, during which time he introduced a number of major policy initiatives including the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Early years
<mask> grew up in Dalby, Queensland, a small town approximately 200 km inland from Brisbane. He is the second of four sons of Lindsay and <mask>. He was educated at local state schools, and graduated in law from the University of Queensland.Career
He commenced his professional career in Brisbane working as an investment analyst for what was then one of Australia's largest mining companies, MIM Holdings Ltd. In 1980, he moved to Sydney to become the legal correspondent for the Australian news magazine The Bulletin, where he had a legal and civil liberties round. In 1982, he was recruited by Jim Carlton, recently appointed as Federal Minister for Health, to serve as his private secretary. Following the fall of the Fraser Government in March 1983, he joined the staff of the newly elected Leader of the New South Wales Opposition, Nick Greiner, as the Director of Research and Policy Development. In addition to policy development, he directed extensive research into corruption in the then NSW Government, contributing to a number of public inquiries and criminal prosecutions. His extensive filing database caused the then Leader of the Opposition and later Premier Bob Carr to refer to him as "Lord of the Files". Upon the change of government in March 1988, he was

From 1990, he was involved in the "new federalism" agenda, initiated by Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Premier Greiner. He led the team of NSW officials at a series of Special Premiers Conferences that produced new policies such as the National Competition Policy, the National Electricity Market, mutual recognition of state regulations, and, ultimately, the formation of the Council of Australian Governments. He retired from public administration in late 1992, six months after the resignation of Greiner as Premier. From 1993 to 2000, <mask> chaired a series of government inquiries - into business regulation, the governance of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the financial management of the Australian Federal Police and the rationalisation of Australia's border controls, among other issues. He also served on a number of public, private and not-for-profit boards, including the Australian Constitutional Centenary Foundation, the NSW Police Board and spent seven years as a non-executive director of the Serco Group PLC, a FTSE-100 public service company operating in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. In 2000, <mask> relocated to London, where he joined Serco as Adviser to the Board and then from January 2003, as Executive Director of the Serco Institute, whose purpose is "to foster the development of sustainable public service markets through an outward-facing programme of research and communication".In that capacity, he played a leading role in the establishment of the Public Services Strategy Board, the UK's first industry association representing the public service industry,

 underneath the umbrella of the Confederation of British Industry. He continued to serve as adviser to the Public Services Strategy Board until 2011. He resigned from the Serco Institute in April 2011 and returned to Australia to take up the New South Wales Premier's ANZSOG Chair in Public Service Delivery at the University of New South Wales, a research position based in the government precinct in Sydney and studying the challenges involved in front-line service delivery. In 2014, he was also appointed as Professor of Public Service Innovation at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia. In 2015, he was appointed by the NSW government to chair an inquiry into 'point-to-point transportation', which resulted in the legalisation of ride-sharing and a substantial reconstruction of the regulations governing the taxi industry to enable them to compete. He was appointed to the Heritage Council of New South Wales in 2016. Research interests
Since taking up the chair with ANZSOG in 2011, Sturgess has specialised in studying the relationship between policy/funding and delivery, with a particular focus on the discipline of commissioning.As part of that research agenda, he has developed a contestability framework for public services—"benchmarking with consequences"—building on the work of the British health economist Chris Ham. He is actively involved in the application of these principles in the real world, and in 2015, he was appointed by New South Wales Cabinet to chair a Commissioning and Contestability Advisory Board, advising the NSW Minister for Corrections. In 2016, the NSW government established a Commissioning and Contestability Unit in Treasury, based on his work. <mask> has advised a number of government inquiries on commissioning - the Victorian and Queensland Commissions of Audit (2012 and 2013), the National Commission of Audit (2014), the Harper Review of Competition Policy, the New Zealand Productivity Commission's review of social services (2015) and more recently the Australian Productivity Commission's review of human services (2016). He has also advised numerous central and

 line departments and agencies in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada. He lectured at the UK government's Commissioning Academy from 2013 to 2016, and has taught a three-day Commissioning Academy in Ontario, Canada since 2015, and more recently in Ottawa. In March 2017, Sturgess published a study of public service contracting in the UK, for the Business Services Association, entitled 'Just Another Paperclip?'.He was highly critical of the way in which public service contracting has developed in recent years, and laid the primary responsibility on government, arguing that public service markets are not like commodity markets, but rather are government's supply chain. Since 2000, he has also undertaken detailed primary research into the contractual system used for transporting convicts to Australia in the early years of European settlement, and has delivered a number of academic papers and published articles in peer-reviewed journals on the operation of this system. In 2012, he started detailed research to identify the site where the founding Governor of Australia, Arthur Phillip, came ashore in Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788 - based on new documents, maps and drawings that had come to light in the more than 50 years since the question was last considered. The research he undertook with a colleague, Michael Flynn, has generally been accepted. He also led a media campaign, which resulted in the port-a-loo that had been erected on the landing site being removed. Honours

<mask> was awarded membership of the Order of Australia in January 2005, for services to government. Personal

title: Giorgio Fano

texts:
<mask> (April 17, 1885 – September 20, 1963) was an Italian philosopher and linguist. He belonged to the school of Italian neo-idealist thinkers, among a group of artists and writers who made Trieste of the early Twentieth Century a notable center of intellectual activity. Fano read and interpreted the work of Benedetto Croce and Giovanni Gentile from an original point of view. In particular, he recognized the importance of the natural sciences and mathematics, which in his system are not pseudo-concepts. He also stressed the major importance of the simplest and most basic aspects of the life of mind, inspired by reflections of Gianbattista Vico. Biography
<mask> was born in Trieste on April 17, 1885. His father Guglielmo was a well-known physician, his mother Amalia Sanguinetti, who for many years was seriously ill, died when he was still a child.His father Guglielmo was one of the few Jews at the time who had converted to Catholicism out of sincere belief in the faith. But this conversion was, unfortunately, accompanied by religious delusions and mental disorders. Youth and interaction with the Julian intellectuals
As an adolescent, <mask> was rebellious against adult authority, detesting their conformity, their oppressive spirit and the ponderous atmosphere that enveloped them. In the novel "Quasi una fantasia" (Almost as a phantastic story) by Ettore Cantoni there is talk of two boys, in which it is easy to recognize the author Ettore and his friend <mask>, who travel and even arrive in Africa, precisely to escape

texts: Even with the undoubted originality of his own oeuvre, he would retain this viewpoint throughout his lifetime. And we should not neglect the fact that his great fascination for the major exponents of German criticism and idealism provided him with conceptual weapons for his personal battle against the dogmatism, fideism, clericalism, inhabiting his own family environment. In any event, this young rebel, often reckless in his decisions concerning practical affairs, often unresponsive to people he did not like, showed from the outset, on matters of philosophical thought, a seriousness, a prudence, a desire to explore and document deep questions, to an extent which is rarely found even in mature scholars today." The exceptionally stimulating environment of Trieste at the time also contributed to <mask>'s personal and intellectual maturation.In particular, he was friend of Umberto Poli, for whom he created the pseudonym “Saba.”  In the above account by <mask>a  also contains the following passage which describes the type of relationship that existed between Saba and <mask>: "<mask> was an incurable optimist, jovial and fearless; his jokes sometimes embarrassed Saba. His vision of the world was somehow transformed into something more beautiful and elevated, although he was often rather naïve. The following episode, known to be authentic, shows the kind of bold jokes Fano often subjected his friend. Young <mask> and Saba are walking along the seashore, in an animated discussion about the existence of God. At one point <mask>

 collects, and conceals in his closed fist, a piece of wood. He announces: "If God exists, let this stone float!" and then throws the piece of wood into the sea, in which it naturally remains afloat.Saba, very excited, thinking this might possibly be a miracle, brings his hand to the heart and exclaims breathlessly: "My God, <mask>, <mask> ..." "

The sixth of the "Prigioni" of Saba is also inspired by the figure of <mask>:

The passionate. / Nature, because I burn, it has covered my cheeks and the red-haired chin. The spirit is not a breeze: it is a rushing wind, so even the Fate is shaken. /...../ I was Moses who brought you from Egypt, / and I suffered for you on the cross. / They call me in Arabia Muhammad. Saba and <mask> together bought the Ancient and Modern Library They did not regard it in the same way, while Saba was a lover of ancient books, Fano had a more indifferent outlook. Fano was not a person to diligently take on many "boring" tasks, but rather cheerfully consigned them to his companions.Ultimately, the two decided to separate, and leave the library to only one of them. Since both wanted to remain owners, <mask> proposed a decision with a coin toss; Fano won. But Saba did not want to accept the verdict of fate and desperately begged his friend to leave him the Library; Fano eventually gave in. Another person from the Trieste area with whom Fano had a close friendship was Virgilio Giotti. <mask> writes: "Our meeting was like that of a Tuscan artist with a Jewish prophet. I was very happy with it. At

 that time  Giotti was reading Zola, Maupassant and Flaubert, works not familiar to Fano.Because of his indolent character, in many peripheral aspects of life he did what I advised him. He came away from Trieste, then he brought his family to Florence, and the like." But the friendship between the two suffered a tremendous trauma due to the tragic events involving Maria, sister of Virgilio Giotti, who Fano married in 1913. They had a mentally impaired son, who was later killed by his mother, who afterward committed suicide. This tragedy deeply shook the entire Trieste social community. He married a second time with Anna Curiel; together they had a son named Guido. Studies and teachings
During the period of the First World War, <mask> was irredentist, like many of his friends, , Saba, Giotti,  and others.Later his attitude was very similar to that of Benedetto Croce, and for similar ideological reasons. He did not espouse egalitarian ideals, which appeared to him as utopian and, in any case undesirable, possibly leading to a Communist society. Indeed, in the years immediately following the First World War, he firmly opposed the maximalist and turbulent socialism of that time. This resulted, for a very brief period, in some sympathy  for Fascism. But this attitude changed very quickly, even before Croce. <mask> became a courageous and unconditional antifascist, who lost no opportunity to openly express his opinions. These position statements were not without consequences; in this regard we cite Treccani from the

 Biographical Dictionary:

Professor of Philosophy at various high schools in Trieste since 1925, Fano aspired, however, to university teaching, which encountered many obstacles imposed by the authorities.These difficulties were the result of his antifascist reputation, including a speech that he delivered commemorating his cousin Enrico Elia, a volunteer in the Great War who died in Podgora in 1915. In this speech he expressed, in a not very subtle way, the belief that the sacrifice of many lives for freedom was denied by the then dominant political regime. This political assertion earned him a few days in jail in the fortress of Koper and his reputation as an antifascist continued to have negative effects on his university career. <mask> graduated in philosophy cum laude from the University of Padua in 1923, with a thesis with the original title "Of the universe or of myself: essay of a solipsistic philosophy.” The thesis was published in 1926 in the Rivista d'Italia. He did not attend university classes in Padua, probably in part, because he was already married and had to provide for his family. In addition to Florence, a significant fraction of his university education was gained in Vienna, where he had spent a few years before the war, immersed in the environment of La Voce. Voghera writes "Of great maieutic skills [resembling the Socratic method of eliciting new ideas from others], it is no wonder that he was a teacher of particular value: the best I have ever known, I would dare to say.In Trieste he lectured for a

 few years in high schools, before moving to Rome. But some of my peers who had him as a teacher, never ceased to tell me the surprise they experienced when, after listening to Fano, suddenly realizing that philosophy—that indigestible jumble of empty, abstruse and complicated concepts—became something extremely fascinating and current, even fun. Needless to say, all the pupils were enthusiastic about him and almost all the schoolgirls were in love with him." <mask> was scholar of Croce, whom he had known since 1912; he published various articles on Croce's philosophy. One of these articles, entitled The Negation of Philosophy in Current Idealism (1932), brought him to the attention of , who offered him a position as  voluntary pedagogical assistant at the Faculty of Magisterium of the Sapienza University of Rome. Thus, Fano moved there with his new family. The first book in which his thoughts were explicitly formulated: The Dialectical System of the Spirit appeared in 1937, when he was already 52 years old.In 1938, because of the racial laws then in effect, he was turned away from a university teaching position; he succeeded nevertheless in continuing as a professor at the Military School of Rome. Later years and research on the origin of language
After the German invasion on September 8, 1943, <mask> found refuge in Rocca di Mezzo in Abruzzo, where he remained for almost a year. His quiet serenity, courage and heedlessness of danger never failed him, although constantly faced with the risks of being discovered by the

 Germans (he and his wife had falsified their identity cards) and of the Allied bombing raids. Indeed, during the long winter of 1943-44, the Germans often relied on him as an interpreter. Since his house was right on the main road, the kitchen was often full of soldiers who needed something. There, in that poorly-heated kitchen, indifferent to the fearsome risks, he worked perhaps more diligently than  ever before and completed an important work: The Philosophy of Croce. Essay of Criticism and Early Features of a Dialectical System of the Spirit, which was published in 1946.We recount here an episode that succinctly epitomizes both the importance that he attached to his work and his temerity and courage, one might almost call it his unconsciousness:

One morning, coming down into the kitchen, which had become his studio, he found it invaded by German soldiers who were looking for water and more. And then, with his usual calm demeanor, indifferent to the fact that he was a Jew, with the face of a biblical prophet, he pointed the Wehrmacht soldiers to the door: "Please," he said in German, "gentlemen, please, can you go somewhere else. I would have to work.” Without a word the soldiers pushed the door open and left, and <mask> quietly went back to his work table to resume his arguments with Croce. He was quite fortunate that even a most superficial investigation would have been enough to convoy him with his family to the extermination camps." When the war ended, he resumed his position at the University of Rome, and for a

 brief period he also held a temporary appointment as director of the Institute of Pedagogy of the Magisterium. However <mask> did not ever bother to obtain any official appointment to an academic position, so that, when his academic career ended, he was not entitled to receive even a minimum pension. Notwithstanding, he had worked continuously for almost twenty years until his death, producing a number of highly relevant essays.In the aforementioned essay on Croce, he had advocated the importance of the empirical sciences, which in Croce's philosophy were ascribed no cognitive dignity. In the text Eastern Theosophy and Greek Philosophy, we find a description of the historical development of human thought, emphasizing the importance of mathematics, in contrast to Croce's claim that mathematics was merely a "pseudo-concept.”

His later research concerned the question regarding the origin of language. He contributed some significant original insights on the subject, as elaborated in his Essay on the Origins of Language; with a Critical History of the Glottogonic Doctrines. The essay was later expanded, following his intentions, into a more extensive exposition, the book Origins and Nature of Language by his wife Anna and son Guido. He died in Siena on September 20, 1963, while presiding over a meeting of the Board of Examiners. Notes

<mask> (25 August 1887 – 14 December 1952) was a Norwegian composer, notable for his work in atonal polyphonic music. He developed a polyphony similar to Bach's counterpoint, but based on motivic working and dissonance rather than harmonic progression. Biography

Early life
Valen was born in Stavanger, Norway in 1887 into a deeply Christian religious family and maintained his religious beliefs all his life. His parents were missionaries, and he spent five years of his childhood in Madagascar . In addition to his aptitude for music, he was also a polyglot, mastering at least nine languages. He earned his examen artium with the highest grades in all subjects except mathematics. He loved cats, nature and literature, cultivated roses (even developed an award-winning hybrid), and after losing them in a devastating freeze took up growing cacti.Musical career
In 1906, Valen moved to Kristiania (today's Oslo) to study Norwegian literature and language but also took classes with Catharinus Elling (1858–1942) at the Oslo Conservatory of Music, graduating with a degree in organ playing. In 1909 he moved to Berlin to study piano, theory, and composition at the Music Academy with (amongst others) Max Bruch . While in Berlin, he worked on exercises in both tonal and

<mask> (née Liao Chia-ai , September 14, 1917 – August 23, 1994) was a Chinese-American chef, restaurateur, author, television personality, and entrepreneur. <mask> was credited with popularizing northern-style Chinese cuisine in the United States, coining the name "Peking Raviolis" for potstickers, inventing and holding a design patent for a flat bottom wok with handle (also known as a stir fry pan), and developing the first line of bottled Chinese stir fry sauces for the US market. Starting in 1958, she operated several popular Chinese restaurants in Cambridge, Massachusetts. <mask> was diagnosed with dementia in 1985, and died in 1994. Her accomplishments and influence on American cuisine were honored by the US Postal Service and by the city of Cambridge. Early life
<mask> was born in Peking (now spelled Beijing in English), the youngest of nine children of a high-ranking Qing Dynasty official, during the Republican era under Sun Yat-sen. Her wealthy father, a railroad administrator and city executive, could afford to hire a family cook.In her book, Joyce Chen Cook Book, she later said that she grew up with a family chef who left to cook for her father's friend, "Uncle Li", who became the Chinese ambassador to Russia. At that point, her mother and her governess cooked the family meals, and <mask> watched and she learned. <mask> and husband Thomas (m. 1943; div. 1966) with their children Henry (b. 1944; d. 2007) and Helen (b. 1948) left Shanghai (and China for the last time) on April 6, 1949 as the Communists were taking over the country. The family was on the second-to-last boat to leave Shanghai before the port closed.On April 21, <mask> and her family settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. <mask> worked as an importer of fine art, while <mask> was a housewife raising two children, a dramatic change from her job in China as an insurance broker (an uncommon vocation for women in China at that time). She gave birth to another son, Stephen, in 1952. In 1957, she first thought that her cooking might be popular when she made pumpkin cookies and Chinese egg

 rolls for a bake sale fundraiser at the Buckingham School in Cambridge. She was surprised to hear that her then-unfamiliar Chinese snacks had sold out within an hour, and she was encouraged to make more. <mask> had already become adept at finding or substituting for hard-to-get ingredients, and sometimes adapting her recipes to American tastes. Restaurants
<mask> opened her first restaurant, <mask> Chen Restaurant, at 617 Concord Avenue in Cambridge in 1958.According to her son Stephen, here she pioneered the all-you-can-eat Chinese dinner buffet to boost sales on otherwise-slow Tuesday and Wednesday nights. She also used the buffet format to allow customers to sample unfamiliar authentic dishes at their own pace. She promoted healthy Chinese cooking and refused to use Red Dye No. 2 and other food coloring at her restaurants. For Chinese-speaking and English-speaking staff and customers to communicate more easily, <mask> introduced the practice of numbering menu items. <mask> introduced northern Chinese (Mandarin) and Shanghainese dishes to Boston, including Peking duck, moo shu pork, hot and sour soup, and potstickers, which she called "Peking Ravioli", sometimes shortened to "Ravs". The first restaurant operated for thirteen years, closing in 1971.Members of Bolt, Beranek and Newman's IMP team, when they were working on the first IMPs to create the ARPANET in 1969, would eat <mask>'s food at her restaurant, which was located next door to BBN. After her divorce in 1966, <mask> sold the original restaurant to her ex-husband, who converted it in 1972 to a Japanese eatery called Osaka. With her divorce from <mask>, she legally reverted to using her maiden name, <mask>, but continued use the <mask> moniker for her business. As a single mother both encumbered and assisted by her three children, she managed to open a second restaurant in 1967, called The <mask> Chen Small Eating Place. It was located between Harvard University and MIT in Central Square, Cambridge, at 302 Massachusetts Avenue. <mask>'s son, <mask>, later noted that the opening of this

 restaurant changed the landscape of the Central Square area in Cambridge. Originally, it was a retail and industrial area, dominated by a NECCO (New England Confectionery Company) factory.People lined up to get <mask>'s Chinese food at this small restaurant, which seated 60 people. According to <mask>, at this restaurant his mother introduced the Northern style of dim sum, and the now popular "soup dumplings" (shao long bao). The restaurant was very popular with computer hackers. It operated for 21 years and closed in 1988. In 1969, <mask> opened her third restaurant, a much larger space seating 500 people, in an existing building located at 500 Memorial Drive in Cambridge. This restaurant, also called <mask> Chen Restaurant, benefited from its proximity to MIT and Harvard. However, the restaurant closed in 1974 when the building was demolished so that the MIT dorms New House, and later, Next House, could be built on the site.New House was jokingly known by MIT students as the "<mask> Chen Small Living Place" for a time. In 1973, <mask> opened her fourth restaurant in an elegant Modernist custom-designed building at 390 Rindge Avenue, near Fresh Pond. The building, designed by Alan Ahakian, was described as "marvelously secluded behind a baffled garden wall that focuses around a single tree". The restaurant, also called Joyce Chen Restaurant, seated 263. It operated for 25 years and closed in 1998. In 1975, her eldest son Henry opened a fifth Joyce Chen Restaurant on Cape Cod, but it closed after a year and a half. Her other son Stephen managed a downtown branch of Joyce Chen Restaurant, which operated from 1988 until 1994.<mask> was a warm hostess who formed relationships with many guests, including John Kenneth Galbraith, James Beard, Julia Child, Henry Kissinger, Beverly Sills, and Danny Kaye. Nathan Pusey, a former Harvard president, called her eating establishment "not merely a restaurant, but a cultural exchange center". She would often mingle with guests, including those with no celebrity. Career highlights

texts: first restaurant, in 1960 <mask> began teaching Chinese cooking at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education and the Boston Center for Adult Education. There were waiting lists for her classes. At this time, she introduced many Americans to home style and gourmet Chinese cooking techniques. In 1962, <mask> published her influential cookbook, the Joyce <mask> Cook Book.Publishers had balked at her insistence on color pictures of food, so she had the book published privately at her own expense. She pre-sold over 6,000 copies of her book at her restaurants before the book was printed. Eventually a publisher became interested, and sold an additional 70,000 copies, and still more in later reprintings over the years. Boston cardiologist Paul Dudley White wrote the foreword to her book, and praised her use of healthier ingredients. MSG was popular at the time, and was included in most of the recipes. In 1967, <mask> starred in her own cooking show called <mask> Chen Cooks, on National Educational Television (NET), now the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Twenty-six episodes were filmed on the same set as The French Chef (featuring Julia Child) in the studios of WGBH in Boston.The two programs were both produced by Ruth Lockwood, and the basic studio kitchen setup was superficially redecorated in an "oriental" motif. Julia Child was already a regular visitor at <mask>'s restaurant, and a fan of her cooking. <mask>'s cooking show aired widely across the US, and eventually in the United Kingdom and Australia; eleven of these original programs can still be seen on the WGBH website. <mask> was not a rigid purist, sometimes discussing what kinds of readily-available American ingredients could be substituted for hard-to-find Chinese ingredients. She would later be criticized for adapting and simplifying recipes for American tastes, although she pioneered in an era when few viewers had access to authentic Chinese ingredients and flavors. Her recipes were many American viewers' first glimpse at the making of Chinese food, beyond such Americanized dishes as chop suey

 and chow mein. She also introduced some novel kitchen tools to American audiences, including the wok and the Chinese chef's knife, often misidentified as a "Chinese cleaver".<mask> lacked the informal, casual English-language fluency of Julia Child, and spent hours with voice coaches carefully trying to improve her pronunciation. Her programs gained a modest following among viewers, and Reader’s Digest gave her an award for educational television. However, the pilot season failed to gain a funding sponsor, and was discontinued after its initial run of 26 episodes. Later critics pointed out that she was one of the few non-white television cooking show hosts to have any American national distribution before the 1980s. After the end of the season, the show was re-run intermittently until 1976. In 1968, <mask> took her then-16-year-old son Stephen, and 20-year-old daughter Helen on a trip around the world on Pan Am Flight 001. <mask>, Stephen, and <mask> also traveled to China in 1972, the same year that President Nixon first visited China.By this time, Stephen was an undergraduate at Boston University, and took a one-day "crash course" in cinematography at WGBH. He would return from the family trip with plenty of footage, which was used in the majority of the documentary, co-produced with Ruth Lockwood and aired nationally on PBS as <mask>'s China in May 1973. A few months later, the <mask> family were the victims of a home invasion by five intruders who had seen the film, according to her son Stephen. In 1971, <mask> launched Joyce Chen Products, a line of higher quality Chinese cooking utensils. At that time she helped popularize Chinese cookware, and held the design patent (USD221397S) to a flat bottom wok with a handle, also known as a stir fry pan, which she called a "Peking Wok". She also introduced polyethylene cutting boards, made in Japan by Sumitomo Bakelite. In 1982, Joyce Chen Specialty Foods would be formed to sell bottled sauces and other flavorings.Death and legacy

In the years following her hand injury, according to her son <mask>, <mask> would forget certain phone numbers for food vendors she had been relying on to run her restaurants, and by 1983 she had stopped relying on food vendors entirely. She often blamed her hand for her forgetfulness. From that point on, her memory gradually worsened until she was officially diagnosed in 1985 with multi-infarct dementia, although some descriptions of her life assume she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, at that time such a conclusion could only be confirmed by an autopsy after death. Stephen cared for <mask> at home until 1992, when she was moved into the Fairlawn Nursing Home in Lexington, Massachusetts, where she died from cardiac arrest on August 23, 1994, less than a month before her 77th birthday.She was buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Posthumously in 1998, <mask>'s contributions to cuisine were described in Beard House, The Magazine of the James Beard Foundation. In September 2012, the city of Cambridge held their first "Festival of Dumplings" in Central Square to honor what would have been <mask>'s 95th birthday. There have since been dumpling festivals in 2013 and 2014. The New York Historical Society exhibit, Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion (September 26, 2014 - April 19, 2015) reviewed the history of the Chinese in America, and featured <mask>'s contributions. Celebrity chef Ming Tsai later said of <mask>, "She is the Chinese Julia Child [...] <mask> helped elevate what Chinese food was about. She didn't dumb it down.She opened people's eyes to what good Chinese could taste like." On September 26, 2014, the US Postal Service issued 20 million copies of the "Celebrity Chefs Forever" stamp series, which featured  portraits by Jason Seiler of five American chefs: <mask>, Julia Child, James Beard, Edna Lewis, and Felipe Rojas-Lombardi.

 Postal Service, "<mask> is one of America's most well-known promoters of Chinese food. From her landmark restaurant in the Boston area to her cookbooks and trailblazing PBS television show, <mask> invited newcomers to sample unfamiliar dishes in ways that firmly established Chinese cuisine in the United States." On September 5, 2017 (nine days before what would have been <mask>'s 100th birthday), an illustrated children's book about <mask>'s life, Dumpling Dreams: How <mask> Brought the Dumpling from Beijing to Cambridge, written by Carrie Clickard and illustrated by Katy Wu, was published. Business legacy
<mask> was diagnosed with dementia in 1985, and immediately retired. She was succeeded by daughter <mask>, herself a chef and cookbook author, as chief executive officer of the company, Joyce Chen Inc..Youngest son <mask> became in charge in running the restaurant operations, while Helen concentrated on managing the specialty foods and cookware businesses. Following their mother's death in 1994, Stephen continued to run the restaurant business. However, in 1998 the restaurant at 390 Rindge Avenue closed, thus ending the 40-year run of the Joyce Chen Restaurant chain altogether. The building and site were purchased by Just-A-Start, and underwent a one-year renovation. In 1999, the former restaurant was re-opened, this time as a child-care facility, while the remainder of the lot on Rindge Avenue was filled with residential housing. In 2005, the structure was demolished in order to make more room for additional residential units. After the restaurant business ceased operations, Helen continued to run Joyce Chen Products, but in January 2003 she sold the business to Columbian Home Products in order to provide the company with additional capital.Helen has since written and published three cookbooks of her own, and in 2007 she developed her own line of cookware for Harold Import Company (Lakewood, New Jersey), under a new banner "Helen's Asian Kitchen". Helen has also taught cooking at Boston University. In January 2020, Columbian Home Products, the

 distributor of the "Joyce Chen", "Keilen" and "Origins" cookware brands since 2003, closed its plant in Terre Haute, Indiana and laid off its remaining 82 employees. Prior to the closure, Columbian had sold the three brands to Honey-Can-Do, and the "Granite-Ware" brand to . "Snow River Products", another former brand of Columbian Home Products, was spun off as a stand-alone company, and transitioned to a custom wood products business and away from selling to retailers. , Stephen is president of Joyce Chen Foods, Inc., which sells food products inspired by <mask>'s recipes, including Asian sauces, oils, condiments, and spices. Over time, the line has been expanded to include gluten-free, certified kosher, and lower-sodium foods, none of which have added MSG content.In 2006, after countless requests from former restaurant customers, the line was also expanded to include frozen potstickers. Eldest son <mask> and his wife Barbara (née Castagnoli) owned and managed Joyce Chen Unlimited, a retail store in Acton, Massachusetts, which closed in March 2008, five months after his death. Several <mask> disciples have gone on to establish restaurants of their own in the Boston area that serve Chinese cuisine. Among them is Pui Chan at "The Wok" in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Chan worked for <mask> at the Rindge Avenue location starting in 1973 and, with her encouragement, opened his own restaurant in 1978. References

<mask> (honorific in Turkic meaning "Heroic or Great Lion"; in ; Arabic epithet: Diyā ad-Dunyā wa ad-Dīn Adud ad-Dawlah Abu Shujā' Muhammad Ālp Ārslan ibn Dawūd, ; 20 January 1029 – 24 November 1072), real name: Muhammad bin Dawud Chaghri, was the second Sultan of the Seljuk Empire and great-grandson of Seljuk, the eponymous founder of the dynasty. He greatly expanded the Seljuk territory and consolidated his power, defeating rivals to south and northwest and his victory over the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert, in 1071, ushered in the Turkoman settlement of Anatolia. For his military prowess and fighting skills, he obtained the name Alp <mask>, which means "Heroic Lion" in Turkish. Early life

<mask> was the son of Chaghri and nephew of Tughril, the founding Sultans of the Seljuk Empire. His grandfather was Mikail, who in turn was the son of the warlord Seljuk. He was the father of numerous children, including Malik-Shah I and Tutush I. It is unclear who the mother or mothers of his children were.He was known to have been married at least twice. His wives included the widow of his uncle Tughril, a Kara-Khanid princess known as Aka Khatun, and the daughter or niece of Bagrat IV of Georgia (who would later marry his vizier, Nizam al-Mulk). One of Seljuk's other sons was the Turkic chieftain <mask> Isra'il, whose son, Kutalmish, contested his nephew's succession to the sultanate. <mask> <mask>'s younger brothers Suleiman ibn Chaghri and Qavurt were his rivals. Kilij <mask>, the son and successor of Suleiman ibn Kutalmish (Kutalmish's son, who would later become Sultan of Rûm), was a major opponent of

 the Franks during the First Crusade and the Crusade of 1101. Early career

<mask> <mask> accompanied his uncle Tughril on campaigns in the south against the Fatimids while his father Chaghri remained in Khorasan. Upon <mask> <mask>'s return to Khorasan, he began his work in administration at his father's suggestion.While there, his father introduced him to Nizam al-Mulk, one of the most eminent statesmen in early Muslim history and <mask> <mask>'s future vizier. After the death of his father, <mask> <mask> succeeded him as governor of Khorasan in 1059. His uncle Tughril died in 1063 and had designated his successor as Suleiman, <mask>'s infant brother. <mask> and his uncle Kutalmish both contested this succession which was resolved at the battle of Damghan in 1063. <mask> defeated Kutalmish for the throne and succeeded on 27 April 1064 as sultan of the Seljuk Empire, thus becoming sole monarch of Persia from the river Oxus to the Tigris. In consolidating his empire and subduing contending factions, <mask> was ably assisted by Nizam al-Mulk, and the two are credited with helping to stabilize the empire after the death of Tughril. With peace and security established in his dominions, <mask> convoked an assembly of the states and in 1066, he declared his son Malik Shah I his heir and successor.With the hope of capturing Caesarea Mazaca, the capital of Cappadocia, he placed himself at the head of the Turkoman cavalry, crossed the Euphrates, and entered and invaded the city. Along with Nizam al-Mulk, he then marched into Armenia and Georgia, which he conquered in 1064. After a siege of 25 days, the Seljuks

 captured Ani, the capital city of Armenia. An account of the sack and massacres in Ani is given by the historian Sibt ibn al-Jawzi, who quotes an eyewitness saying:

Byzantine struggle
In route to fight the Fatimids in Syria in 1068, <mask> <mask> invaded the Byzantine Empire. The Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes, assuming command in person, met the invaders in Cilicia. In three arduous campaigns, the Turks were defeated in detail and driven across the Euphrates in 1070. The first two campaigns were conducted by the emperor himself, while the third was directed by Manuel Comnenos, great-uncle of Emperor Manuel Comnenos.During this time, <mask> gained the allegiance of Rashid al-Dawla Mahmud, the Mirdasid emir of Aleppo. In 1071, Romanos again took the field and advanced into Armenia with possibly 30,000 men, including a contingent of Cuman Turks as well as contingents of Franks and Normans, under Ursel de Baieul. <mask> <mask>ids, quickly reversed to meet the Byzantines. At Manzikert, on the Murat River, north of Lake Van, the two forces waged the Battle of Manzikert. The Cuman mercenaries among the Byzantine forces immediately defected to the Turkic side. Seeing this, "the Western mercenaries rode off and took no part in the battle." To be exact, Romanos was betrayed by general Andronikos Doukas, son of the Caesar (Romanos's stepson), who pronounced him dead and rode off with a large part of the Byzantine forces at a critical moment.The Byzantines were totally routed. Emperor Romanos IV was himself taken prisoner and conducted into the presence of <mask> <mask>. After a ritual humiliation, <mask> treated

 him with generosity. After peace terms were agreed to, <mask> dismissed the Emperor, loaded with presents and respectfully attended by a military guard. The following conversation is said to have taken place after Romanos was brought as a prisoner before the Sultan:

<mask> <mask>'s victories changed the balance in near Asia completely in favour of the Seljuq Turks and Sunni Muslims. While the Byzantine Empire was to continue for nearly four more centuries, the victory at Manzikert signalled the beginning of Turkmen ascendancy in Anatolia. The victory at Manzikert became so popular among the Turks that later every noble family in Anatolia claimed to have had an ancestor who had fought on that day.Most historians, including Edward Gibbon, date the defeat at Manzikert as the beginning of the end of the Eastern Roman Empire. State organization

Alp <mask>'s strength lay in the military realm. Domestic affairs were handled by his able vizier, Nizam al-Mulk, the founder of the administrative organization that characterized and strengthened the sultanate during the reigns of <mask> <mask> and his son, Malik Shah. Military fiefs, governed by Seljuq princes, were established to provide support for the soldiery and to accommodate the nomadic Turks to the established Anatolian agricultural scene. This type of military fiefdom enabled the nomadic Turks to draw on the resources of the sedentary Persians, Turks, and other established cultures within the Seljuq realm, and allowed Alp <mask> to field a huge standing army without depending on tribute from conquest to pay his soldiers. He not only had enough food from

 his subjects to maintain his military, but the taxes collected from traders and merchants added to his coffers sufficiently to fund his continuous wars. Suleiman ibn Qutalmish was the son of the contender for <mask>'s throne; he was appointed governor of the north-western provinces and assigned to completing the invasion of Anatolia.An explanation for this choice can only be conjectured from Ibn al-Athir's account of the battle between Alp-Arslan and Kutalmish, in which he writes that <mask>-<mask>lan extended over much of western Asia. He soon prepared to march for the conquest of Turkestan, the original seat of his ancestors. With a powerful army he advanced to the banks of the Oxus. Before he could pass the river with safety, however, it was necessary to subdue certain fortresses, one of which was for several days vigorously defended by the Kurdish rebel, Yusuf al-Kharezmi or Yusuf al-Harani. Perhaps over-eager to press on against his Qarakhanid enemy, <mask> <mask> gained the governor's submission by promising the rebel ‘perpetual ownership of his lands’.
