After his war service, Haupt returned to railroad, bridge, pipeline, and tunnel construction. He worked with the Richmond and Danville Railroad then was the general manager of Piedmont Air-Line Railway (from Richmond, Virginia, to Atlanta, Georgia), 1872 to 1876; Tide Water Pipe Line Company, 1875- ; general manager of the transcontinental Northern Pacific Railroad, 1881 to 1885; president of the Dakota and Great Southern Railroad, 1885 to 1886. Haupt became wealthy from investments in railroads, mining, and Pennsylvania real estate, but eventually lost most of his fortune, in part due to political complications involving the completion of the Hoosac Tunnel. He and his wife purchased a small resort hotel at Mountain Lake in Giles County, Virginia. He invented a drilling machine that won the highest prize of the Royal Polytechnic Society of Great Britain and was the first to prove the practicability of transporting oil in pipes. Haupt also authored several papers and books: Hints on Bridge Building (1840), The General Theory of Bridge Construction (1851), Plan for the Improvement of the Ohio River (1855), Military Briges (1864) and Reminiscences (1901).Death and legacy

Haupt died of a heart attack at age 88 in Jersey City, New Jersey, stricken while traveling on the Pennsylvania Railroad in a Pullman car named "Irma" on a journey from New York to Philadelphia. He is buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. His son Lewis M<mask> was a noted civil engineer and professor. In popular media

Nancy-<mask> is a Canadian poet and novelist. In addition to her books of poetry, she is author of the novel Shattering Glass, a story about today's woman trying to balance career and family. Biography

<mask> was born in Toronto, Ontario. She received a B.A. degree in 1965 and a master's degree in history in 1969 from the University of Toronto. She has a teaching certificate as a history specialist from the Ontario College of Education, University of Toronto. She returned to university to study law and received her LL.B.degree in 1985 and was admitted to the Ontario Bar in 1987. Her first poetry collection – Through the Eyes of a Woman –  was published in 1975, followed by Taking Off, China: Shockwaves, and This Horizon And Beyond: Poems Selected and New. After graduating from law school, and drawing on her experiences there as a working mother trying to balance career and family, she began writing her novel, Shattering Glass, which was published in 1996.<ref>Shattering Glass, [http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-374-26223-5Publishers Weekly], November 13, 1995</ref>

She was appointed by the Canadian government in 1985 to the board of directors of the Canada Council for the Arts, and reappointed in 1988 for a second term. During the period of the Free Trade Agreement negotiations between Canada and the United States, she advocated that Canadian ownership of its own publishing industry was essential for the preservation and protection of Canadian cultural identity.The Canada Council News Release/Communique, Ottawa, December 12, 1985 with full address by Nancy-Gay <mask> to the Canada Council attached. A proponent of funding for regional arts organizations, she also urged the development of programs to provide access to major cultural events to less populated areas. Her fellow directors elected her as their representative to the National Library Advisory Board in 1986, on which she served five years.

<mask> began writing poetry as a young child and was first published at the age of 12, when her grandmother Ida Berk submitted (without her knowing it) one of her poems to the national magazine Chatelaine. The editor accepted the poem unaware it was written by a 12-year-old. When the school principal announced the publication of her poem over the school's public address system, she became embarrassed, and from then on wrote her poetry in secret.Richard Garlick, "A housewife wordsmith shakes poetry tradition", Winnipeg Free Press, December 11, 1979 Many years later her husband accidentally came across a poem she had written and suggested she show her poems to poet Irving Layton who was at York University. Upon submitting a portfolio of her work to Layton she was accepted into his poetry workshop. It was Irving Layton who encouraged her to publish her first book of poetry, Through the Eyes of a Woman.Deborah Lehman, "Poet says women's freedom growing", Calgary Herald, May 8, 1976

Published in 1975, Through the Eyes of a Woman garnered attention throughout Canada and officially launched her writing career.The poems in the volume, presented in two sections – "Focusing Outward: Woman and Society"; and "Focusing Inward: Woman and Family" – express a woman's view of the quality of modern life in Canada. The collection went into three printings, its sales considered remarkable for a book of poetry.Stephen Gauer, "Rotstein's poetry aims for economy of language", The Ottawa Journal, November 19, 1979Taking Off, containing her poetic reflections on travel, followed in 1979. The poems are divided by topic – "Distant Journey," containing images of her travels abroad; "Human Journey," poems that portray the people of the lands she describes, with an emphasis on common human emotions; and "Homeland

Resulting from her travels as one of the early Westerners permitted to enter China after the Cultural Revolution,John Ryan: Bookshelf, "Shockwaves in China", The Glasgow Sunday Post, June 11, 1989Stephen Jones, "Poet vividly captures sights, sounds of China", Detroit Free Press, July 3, 1988 it was published in Canada and the United States, and two years later in the United Kingdom. "It is a rare collection in that it is one of the few, in poetry or prose, by a Westerner that goes beyond the surface of China," said United Press International, and The Scotsman noted she had "a prescience which now seems extraordinary... <mask> realized as early as 1980 that China was heading for another political revolution." Her most recent collection of poetry, This Horizon And Beyond: Poems Selected and New, with a foreword by Irving Layton, contains poems from her earlier collections, presented thematically, as well as previously unpublished poems.Among the topics addressed in her poetry are lessons of history; ecological concerns for both the city and countryside; insights into events, both personal and historical, based on her Jewish heritage; and her reflections on Canada, its natural beauty, challenges and concerns. Among the never-before-published poems are those she wrote over a 25-year period about the cycles in family life – from birth and childhood through parenthood and the aging years – which she purposely held for publication as a unit in order to present the full range of family life. "She has a strong sense of history, fair play and justice" said The Ottawa Citizen about the collection, and the Edmonton Journal said there is "a precision in language that somehow makes her poems both specific and universal." Maclean's Magazine wrote, "If there's a single theme that links a lifetime's work, it's just that – the impermanence of every

 human achievement, the fragility of peace, order and good government." Upon returning to law school as a mother of three children, she became personally aware of the challenges faced by working mothers. She realized that "the most pressing and unresolved issue facing families today was how to successfully balance career and family" and decided to expose those realities and problems through fiction, resulting in her novel, Shattering Glass. Her research, professional training in history and law, and her interest in children's rights were a catalyst for several scenes in the novel.A firm believer of authenticity in the depiction of her settings, characters and their stories, she revisited every location she wrote about. In telling the story of one woman whose teenage son gets in trouble with the police, <mask> was allowed into areas restricted to staff in a Detention Center in order to experience first-hand how a mother might feel if she found her child there. "It was important to make sure that every character, thought and word was totally realistic and honest," the author has said about the novel. Bibliography

<mask> (formerly Walsh) was an influential organic chemist most famous for her work on plant pigments; the Piloty-Robinson Pyrrole Synthesis, which is named for her; her syntheses of fatty acids; and her synthesis of δ-hexenolactone, the first synthetic molecule with the character of penicillin. Biography
<mask> was born on 6 February 1886 in Winsford, Cheshire and died of a heart attack on 1 March 1954. After attending Verdin Secondary School, she was granted her B. Sc. in 1907 and M. Sc. in 1908 from Owens College. She then researched at the University of Manchester under Chaim Weizmann, who later became the first president of Israel, and taught chemistry at the Manchester High School for Girls. In 1912 she married <mask>, who later won the 1947 Nobel Prize and with whom she coauthored many papers, and moved to the position of an unpaid demonstrator at the University of Sydney before briefly going to the St. Andrews in Scotland and University College in London.She worked on the syntheses of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and was the first to synthesize oleic acid and lactarinic acid. Her methods led to her synthesis of fatty acids with the greatest molecular weights of the time (specifically, tricontanoic and 13-oxodotetracontanoic acids). She also independently suggested the asymmetric structure of aromatic  azoxy-compounds and, with her husband, postulated a mechanism for the Fischer Indole Synthesis. Based on this mechanism and working off the pyrrole syntheses of Piloty, the couple provided a method for synthesizing tetraphenylpyrrole . The Piloty-Robinson Pyrrole Synthesis is named in their honor. After moving to the University of Oxford, <mask> began studying plant pigments and published

 extensively on anthocyanins with her husband. She was the first to observe that the color of a plant’s pigment was not related to the pH of its sap and she pioneered work in leucoanthocyanins.Additionally, she was the first to synthesize δ-hexenolactone, a molecule similar to penicillin that had its antibiotic properties. In 1953, the University of Oxford granted her an honorary M.A. degree. Besides her work as a chemist, <mask> had two children, Marion in 1921 and Michael in 1926. She was an avid mountain climber, a prolific traveler, and a frequent hostess. Perhaps inspiring her work on plant pigments, she and her husband also kept a garden for many years. Plant Genetics

Anthocyanins and Copigments
Flowers, fruits, and leaves get their pigments from anthocyanins and copigments (such as tannins and flavonols).The combinations provide the exact colors of various plants at different stages of development. The <mask>s found that, at different ratios of anthocyanins to copigments, the copigments had different effects and they postulated that this was due to the copigments breaking up the anthocyanin complexes, which they observed when they were in solution together. They studied these pigments by comparing color distributions in immiscible solutions after reactions with alkalis or ferric chloride. Leucoanthocyanins
The <mask>s investigated the structure of leucoanthocyanins, colorless molecules that generate anthocyanidins and are present in most plants. Rosenheim simultaneously discovered leucoanthocyanins and he coined the term. Leucoanthocyanins occur in more locations (wood, bark, nutshells, flowers, fruits) than normal anthocyanins.

 Piloty, had the <mask> name added to it due to their work on the mechanism.While it is unclear which <mask> the synthesis is technically named after, the paper on the topic was authored by both <mask> and Robert. Generalized Synthesis
This reaction is used to convert azines to 3,4-disubstituted pyrroles. Generalized Mechanism
The mechanism as suggested by the <mask>s. There are, however, a few problems with some syntheses. The Piloty-Robinson reaction competes with the formation of pyrazoline when the reactant is an aliphatic azine derived from a ketone. Also, under high temperatures and highly acidic solutions, azines derived from aldehydes are not stable. This prevents the formation of 2,5-disubstituted pyrroles (where R=H) using this method.Modern Uses
While the pyrroles produced by the Piloty-Robinson Synthesis are often very useful, the reaction itself is not always favorable because it requires high temperatures and long reaction times in addition to the problems mentioned above, the yield is often low or moderate. Modern methods have alleviated some of these concerns. Microwave Irradiation
Microwave radiation decreases the time necessary for the reaction from around 3 days to 30-60 min. It can also affect the yield. Solid-Supported
Solid-supported syntheses offer an easier and more efficient workup and purification. Fischer Indole Mechanism
The Robinsons disproved many of the prevailing theories about the Fischer Indole Mechanism by showing that the reaction went unperturbed in the presence of other aromatic amines such as p-toluidine. This is the mechanism they suggested (where hydrogen shifts may also be interpreted as hydrogen exchanges in acid).Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids

 Synthesis of Higher Fatty Acids
One of the drawbacks of the Robinsons’ methods for the synthesis of fatty acids are the low yields due to the recoveries of a significant portion of the dialdehyde. The justification by <mask> for this low yield was that the aldehyde intermediate was a weaker acid than acetic acid, which was removed during a step in the hydrolysis. While she did not solve this problem, she did improve the yield and decrease the dialdehyde recovered by “the acylation of a substituted ethyl acetoacetate by the group related to the weakest possible acid”. One example of this is the synthesis of 10-ketotridecoic acid via 13-diketopalmitic acid, which is an important acid because, with reduction and dehydration, it becomes the molecule that is an active ovarian hormone. <mask>, using her methods for the synthesis of higher fatty acids, synthesized n-triacontanoic acid, also known as Melissic acid, and 13-oxodotetracontanoic acid. Oleic Acid
The Robinsons identified the location of the double bond in, and also synthesized, oleic acid. The Robinsons’ Synthesis of Oleic Acid

Lactarinic Acid
Lactarinic Acid, isolated from fungi of the Lactarius genus, was shown to contain a ketostearic acid.The <mask>s showed that this was in fact 6-ketostearic acid by doing a Beckmann Transformation on the oxime of lactarinic acid. They then synthesized 6-ketostearic acid via a reaction of ethyl sodio-2-acetyl-n-tridecoate and 5-carbethoxyvaleryl chloride and then hydrolysis to prove the structure of lactarinic acid. Notes

<mask> (born 28 September 1984) is an English former professional footballer. A former England under-19 and under-20 international, <mask> started his career with Leicester City, helping them into the Premier League in 2002–03. However he failed to hold down a regular first team place at the higher level, and was loaned out to Brentford and Blackpool, before transferring to Barnsley in 2006. He helped the club gain promotion out of League One via the play-offs, before he joined Darlington in January 2007 following a short loan spell at League Two champions Walsall. He was sold on to Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen in August 2008 for a £100,000 fee. He returned to England in January 2010, signing with Grimsby Town, who were soon relegated out of the Football League. He rejoined Darlington, helping the club to lift the 2011 FA Trophy.He then appeared for a string of non-league clubs, latterly as player-manager with Corby Town and Nuneaton Town. In October 2017, he joined Darlington for a third spell, this time as manager. He left Darlington by mutual consent at the end of the 2018–19 season after a lower mid table finish. Playing career

Club
<mask> was born in Kirby Muxloe, Leicester. He started his career at home town club Leicester City, making his Premier League debut under Dave Bassett on 23 March 2002, in a 2–0 home defeat to Leeds United, after he replaced Stefan Oakes on 86 minutes. The Foxes were relegated at the end of the season, and new manager Micky Adams played <mask> 13 times in the 2002–03 First Division promotion campaign. He scored his first senior goal on 18 January, in a 3–2 win over Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium; his second goal was the only one of the game against rivals Nottingham Forest at the Walkers Stadium on 8 April.He was offered a new contract at the end of the campaign. Despite BBC Sport's <mask> did not feature for Leicester at all during the campaign. Instead, manager Wally Downes took him to Brentford on loan in September 2003.

He joined League One Blackpool on loan at the start of the 2005–06 season, and hit six goals in fifteen games under the management of Colin Hendry and then Simon Grayson. <mask> signed for League One Barnsley on 1 January 2006 for a £50,000 fee.Manager Andy Ritchie led the Tykes to promotion via the play-offs in 2005–06; <mask> scored once in 22 appearances. He appeared in the play-off Final victory over Swansea City at the Millennium Stadium after coming on for Marc Richards after 70 minutes. Barnsley's promotion to the Championship saw <mask> figure more from the bench for the Yorkshire side during the 2006–07 season, and in November he was sent on a two-month loan to League Two side Walsall. Scoring on his debut at the Bescot Stadium, he netted twice in five starts for the Saddlers, who went on to top the division under manager Richard Money. Having failed to agree personal terms with Rotherham United, <mask> signed with Dave Penney's Darlington, also of League Two. He finished the season with four goals in 13 appearances for the Quakers. He fired Darlington into the play-offs in 2007–08, where they were knocked out by Rochdale at the semi-final stage; <mask> finished as the club's top scorer with thirteen goals.He was nominated for the League Two player of the month award for January after scoring three goals in the space of six games, but lost out to Grimsby Town's Danny North. On 8 August 2008, <mask> was transferred to Scottish Premier League club Aberdeen, manager Jimmy Calderwood paying a fee of £100,000; the deal had been delayed while <mask> was recovering from a knee injury. <mask> caused a stir in his first appearance in an Aberdeen shirt, receiving a yellow card for a reckless challenge, and allegedly attempting to headbutt Motherwell defender Stephen Craigan.

He finished the 2008–09 campaign with two goals in nineteen games, and Aberdeen finished fourth to secure a place in the UEFA Europa League. His injury problems continued into the 2009–10 season.By January it became clear that new manager Mark McGhee had little faith in <mask>, and he told the striker that he was available for a transfer. League One club Stockport County failed to pursue their initial interest, and on 27 January, Aberdeen released <mask> from his contract, which still had 18 months to run. <mask> promptly signed an 18-month contract with Grimsby Town of League Two. He struggled to hold a place in the team and finished the season with just one goal in fourteen games as the team were relegated from the League. Despite initially making public his desire to stay at the club, he rejoined his former club Darlington a few days later having exercised a clause in his Grimsby contract allowing him to leave with immediate effect. The team had fallen into the Conference Premier in his absence, and were now led by manager Simon Davey. Davey left the club, and within a few weeks <mask> went public with his praise of successor Mark Cooper.<mask> scored five goals in 29 games in 2010–11, and appeared in the 2011 FA Trophy Final against Mansfield Town at Wembley; at the very end of normal time, "from eight yards and unmarked, he somehow headed wide", but in the last minute of extra time, his header looped up off the crossbar for Chris Senior to win the game for Darlington. In September 2011, <mask> was released from his Darlington contract, and embarked on a series of short-team deals. He first signed for Conference rivals Kidderminster Harriers on non-contract terms with the view to earning himself a longer contract, but made only two appearances for the club.

International
<mask> scored five goals from ten appearances for the England under-19 team. He played at the 2003 European Championships in Liechtenstein. He played alongside Stewart Downing in defeats to Austria and the Czech Republic and a 2–0 win over France; the English finished third in the group and were therefore eliminated. He also made four appearances at under-20 level without scoring. He was a member of the squad for the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship in the United Arab Emirates, starting in the defeat to Egypt and coming on as a substitute in the defeat to Japan and draw with eventual third-place finishers Colombia; they finished bottom of their group and were eliminated without scoring a goal.

"As traumatic and devastating as it was, Hammonds remembers the rather surreal calm that emerged as they waited for the firetrucks to come from the other side of the county." In her work, Hammonds has used the structure of home as a metaphor for the structure of memory. Her parents had the habit of obsessively collecting and saving simple household items. The Austin American-Statesman explains how "Her mother collected dolls and figurines and scrupulously saved her mother's belongings. Hammonds' father filled sheds with plastic bottles and bags, used lumber, [and] scrap metal. The family's defunct cars as well as a school bus and even heavy equipment such as a bulldozer, littered the woods behind the home, their eviscerated frames a perfect playscape for an imaginative, solitary child."The memory of this event is a recurring theme in Hammonds work. Hammonds told the Austin American-Statesman that "Ever since then, I've been obsessed with piles of rubble, and I've been trying to memorialize events and preserve memories through my various collections, constructions, and drawings." Career
Before 2011, Hammonds worked in a manner that was less personal. The art work that occurred prior was about consumerist culture. Her current work is

"Blanket of Fog" was a solo exhibition at Women and Their Work.It is an artistic retelling of the fire that burned down her childhood home. In an article published in the Austin American-Statesman, Hammonds states "I like the blur between fact and fiction, between what happened and the way we want to remember it." Austin Chronicle named her work one of the top ten "most memorable art of 2015" for her installation, Blanket of Fog, at Women & Their Work.

<mask> made a large fortune smuggling opium into Canton (now Guangzhou), China. Opium, a highly addictive narcotic related to heroin, was illegal in China. By the 1800s, European demand for Chinese luxury products such as silk, tea, porcelain ("china"), and furniture was immense, but Chinese demand for European products was relatively weak. As a result, many European nations ran large trade deficits with China. Foreign traders such as the Scottish merchant William Jardine of Jardine Matheson introduced large-scale opium

texts: smuggling into China in order to reduce this trade imbalance and to gain further access to coveted Chinese products. The vast increase in opium smuggling into China resulted in millions of people becoming newly addicted to opium in China, and in an unprecedented Chinese trade imbalance with foreign powers, which in turn resulted in the First Opium War of 1840–1843. <mask> first went to China at age 24 to work for Russell & Company, which had pioneered trading with China.John Perkins Cushingalso a Russell & Company partnerhad preceded <mask> and initiated a close relationship with the largest Chinese hong merchant called Howqua. The two men had established an offshore basean anchored floating warehousewhere Russell & Company ships would offload their opium contraband before continuing up the Pearl River Delta to Canton with their legal cargo. By early 1843, <mask> had prospered greatly in the Chinese opium trade, rising to  become the head partner of the biggest American firm trading with China. He had witnessed the destruction of the Canton system, the humiliation of the Chinese government, and the creation of New China. In the 1850s, <mask>, along with his brother Franklin and Asa Packer (the builder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and founder of Lehigh University), headed a land company that purchased several thousand acres and established the town of Delano, Pennsylvania. <mask> lost much of his fortune in the Panic of 1857. In 1860, he returned to China, except this time he went to Hong Kong where he rebuilt his fortune.During the U.S. Civil War, <mask> shipped opium to the Medical Bureau of the U.S. War Department.

Early years
<mask> was born in Bird Island, Minnesota and raised in Willmar, Minnesota, graduating from Willmar Senior High School in 1983. He learned how to play piano from a how-to piano book he found in the piano bench. One morning his father taught him how to play a boogie-woogie blues tune and by nightfall he could play the entire piece. He started playing classical piano at age eight, taking lessons for a year and a half but was self-taught thereafter. While in junior high, he took a concert field trip where he saw Buddy Rich perform. He recalls, "I sat in the first row and when Buddy's sax player stood up to take his first solo something just clicked — the world closed in around me.I felt the power of music and knew that it was something special, a gift to be shared." <mask> played piano for the jazz band and choir in high school, and trombone through high school and college. When he picked up the horn, he got a whole new perspective on music, gaining insight into all the different timbres available, which was invaluable to him when he started working with orchestras. The first band he was in was a wedding dance band which allowed him to gain experience in every different style of music from polkas to rock and roll to jazz classics. After attending Moorhead State University as a music major, he led some of his own bands around the area that toured Midwest nightclubs. He played sax and guitar in some of these earlier bands but left them to concentrate on just the piano/keyboards. Later, he started performing with guitarist

In 1989, <mask> recorded his first demo tape and sent it off to Greek composer Yanni, who was looking for someone to replace keyboardist John Tesh, as Tesh was launching his own solo career. When Yanni heard <mask>'s compositions and arrangements, he was hired over the phone to join his core band, without ever meeting. After moving to Los Angeles at age 23, he composed, arranged, and performed alongside Yanni for more than six years, performing in-concert with a number of notable symphony orchestras, touring throughout the U.S. and abroad as Yanni gained worldwide fame. His first show was at the Starplex in Dallas with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra filming a video project. "It was a real trial by fire for me", said <mask>. "First show + 10,000 people + TV cameras equals NERVOUS." He told Jane Fredericksen of the St. Croix Valley Press that "It was a big jump, you don't really realize it at the time, but there's no in-between — going from playing nightclubs to arenas."Some of these early tours included the Reflections of Passion, Revolution in Sound, Dare to Dream, Yanni Live, The Symphony Concerts 1993 and 1994 concert tours, as well as a performance in Germany that was broadcast throughout Europe and seen by 30 to 40 million viewers. <mask> appears on the 1994 multi-platinum album and video, Live at the Acropolis. He recounts, "When I reflect back over the years, one of the high points that stand out include performing at the Acropolis with Yanni. Imagine all these different cultures coming together with the challenges of language, equipment, travel, and weather problems. I still picture the police

In the band, <mask> covered a lot of the keyboard parts that Yanni could not for lack of hands in the shows.He assisted with the task of managing the 30 or more synthesizers onstage, and helped layer with the orchestra to create a "full-bodied, live-effect sound". He did have to adjust some parts that did not work well in a live situation and worked extensively on programming sounds for all keyboardists. <mask> said that "Yanni gave us musicians a great deal of freedom to expand the music as well. If you listen to the original recordings he did and what we ended up with in our live recordings, you can really hear the musician's input." He readily credits Yanni's role in his professional development, and for five years of irreplaceable experiences and memories. Between tours, <mask> worked extensively in recording studios on music ranging from rock and pop to rhythm and blues and orchestration with numerous artists from RCA, Epic, Warner Brothers, and Polygram Records, in addition to performing in an elaborate national keyboard show tour with various musicians. In 2003, he returned for the 60-city Ethnicity tour.Sheena <mask> also performed with Sheena Easton for four years as her co-musical director and lead keyboardist. He went from Yanni to Easton and back to Yanni in a few years. "It was a great transition from Yanni because it made me musically aware again", he said in reference to Easton's R&B style. "I went back to where I started but it felt like a new invention." Wheeler

 questioned how he got hooked up with Easton; <mask> answered that he was recommended by a former road manager. He was included in a try-out with four others, rehearsed with the band, they then cut it down to two, and rehearsed with Sheena for the final cut. <mask> anticipated they would ask him to do a solo on at least one of the songs he was asked to play during the audition, so he wrote a solo for all three songs, which was ultimately the reason he was hired for the job.In a 1995 interview, he said that after five years of touring with Yanni and working on his own debut album, he needed a break. Yanni was still building his career and maintained a hectic concert schedule. Working with Easton, on the other hand, was "the best of both worlds". "She just adopted a baby and is pretty settled in", said <mask>. Tour venues with her included Japan, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, and the United States, as well as routine appearances in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. In March 1995, he appeared with her on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno when she performed her new single at the time, "My Cherie". Solo career

In addition to a core band including Charlie Adams on percussion, Charlie Bisharat on violin, and Steven Trochlil on clarinet, <mask> brought in a 50-piece orchestra, and conducted and wrote all the scores. Ken Moore of the Naples Daily News cites, "<mask>'s music is backed by 15 talented musicians, some playing three or more different instruments, that make up a symphony of sounds ranging from quietly pensive mood music to a rich orchestration of classical depth and breadth." Wind and Wire Magazine contributor, Michael Debbage, recalls, "It was the year 1997 and New Age music had already peaked commercially as the interest and exposure seemed to lag. The genres main labels – Narada, Windham Music, and Higher Octave – were beginning to explore worldly themes versus the warm, earthly, acoustic themes that prior artists had established. It appeared that the abundance of new artists was becoming a dying breed. An exception to the rule was <mask>, who released his first mainstream album Rapture to glorious reviews, and to this day it remains his tour de force."Robbins Island Music
Although <mask> said that working with Narada was a great experience music-wise, he did not like the lack of control over the end product, and asked to be released from his contract. He started Robbins Island Music in 1998, composing, producing, and

texts: distributing his own recordings. Solo Journey was released and consists of eleven soft piano compositions that are based on mood and not on melody. It is characterized by Debbage as being a "scaled down introspective, ... and while simplistic was still breath-taking". Later releases include Christmas Around the World reaching ZMR's Top 100 Radio Playlist; and One Deep Breath also holding a position on ZMR's Top 100 Radio Chart for over six months. Bill Binkelman writes that while he doubts fans of Liquid Mind or other mainly electronic new age music artists would wholly embrace the overt romanticism of piano-led tracks like 'Dancers Waltz' or 'Dreamer's Lullaby', there is definite appeal on the album for fans of adult contemporary piano pieces, as well as for lovers of the more minimal approach to new age music." Reviewing for Allmusic, Jim Brenholts describes One Deep Breath as a set of smooth adult contemporary pieces in which <mask> adds "world music flair and inspirational touches"."The vocal expressions by Clystie Whang and <mask> have devotional qualities that weave through the atmospheres and soundscapes smoothly." <mask> returned as a featured instrumentalist during Yanni's 2003 Ethnicity world tour, and wrote his sixth album on stage after sound checks. The Journey Continues, a sequel to Solo Journey, features <mask> on solo piano. Debbage writes, "The magical world of movies has a knack for exploring sequels. There is the beauty and beast effect when taking this pathway. The creative beauty allows the viewers to see the continued growth of its characters. The beastly aspect of this exploration is the Hollywood exploitation of an almost guaranteed return

I am glad to report that The Journey Continues is entrenched in beauty, holding up well to its predecessor." Subsequent releases include For the Love of It, Piano Love Songs, and Hymns and Spiritual Songs. On these albums, <mask> arranges piano, orchestra, and soft rhythms to cover melodies such as "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (Burt Bacharach), "Fields of Gold" (Sting), and "Ave Maria" (Schubert). He has produced numerous CD and DVD projects designed for pets in a Music Pets Love series. He has also produced a four-CD set of Nature Sounds and has published many of his compositions in sheet music form. His music is used throughout the DVD, Isle Royale Impressions Volume II, containing video footage by Carl TerHaar of scenery and wildlife from the Isle Royale National Park in Michigan.In April 2013, <mask> released his first album of original compositions in 10 years entitled Paint the Sky which debuted at #15 on ZMR's Top 100 Radio Chart. It is self-described as "piano instrumentals with a cinematic feel". He received requests from listeners to do another CD with original compositions that incorporate lush orchestration along with the piano, similar to Hear The Masses and Rapture. Kathy Parsons of MainlyPiano states that "<mask> is obviously a very versatile musician, and there are a lot of influences and musical styles that meld together to make Paint the Sky an exceptional musical experience." Michael Debbage of MainlyPiano writes that Paint the Sky

He goes on to say that "whether you have enjoyed <mask>’s more spatial recordings or his deeper embellished adventures, Paint the Sky essential is a musical rainbow of where <mask> has been and where he can potential go." Accolades and achievements
<mask> was named one of the "Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans" (TOYM) of 2004 by the Minnesota Jaycees.In April 2008 he was presented the "WPS Foundation Arts and Academics Hallmarks of Pride" award for outstanding achievements by an alumnus. <mask>'s music has been heard in regular rotation in the United States and Canada by more than 160 major radio networks including XM and Sirius satellite radio, DMX; in the United Kingdom including RTÉ lyric fm; as well as airwaves in Japan, Spain, China, South-East Asia, Thailand, Germany, Switzerland, and Russia. Airlines such as Aeroméxico, AirTran, Frontier, and JetBlue feature his music in their in-flight music programs. The Weather Channel also utilizes his compositions during the "Local on the 8s" segments, and the song "Friday's Child" is included in their 2008 compilation release, The Weather Channel Presents: Smooth Jazz II. Paint the Sky (2013) was nominated for Best Neo-Classical Album in the 10th annual ZMR Music Awards. Thoughts on success as an independent artist
Having experienced both avenues of recording on a major label and later choosing to be an independent artist, a combination of musicianship with business know-how has helped give <mask> staying power in the notoriously competitive world of music. He spends most of his time writing songs, composing arrangements, making recordings,

texts: and publishing and distributing his works."I'm my own boss. I can do what I want. I can change directions", he told West Central Tribune's Anne Polta. As an independent, business is a prime concern and can take over if not controlled, <mask> said. "A lot of musicians don't learn the business. You just have to be well-rounded in both areas. You have to understand publishing.You have to understand how you make money, what's in demand, what helps you make the most out of your talent." "I couldn't license my music if it wasn't mine", he said. "It has allowed me to create CDs. It separates you from the million other great players." In an interview with author Cicily Janus, <mask> commented that his perspective has changed a great deal from when he was younger. He said, "Everything I did was focused on making good music and being a great musician, not running a business. Yet it takes a businessperson to bring music to the masses."But some artists just want to be involved in the music and do not like the added problems or have the personality to work with both. <mask> suggests newer artists read and study both courses and pick one that best suits their needs and wants. He advises, "...to keep your eyes and ears open all the time. All the information you need is available to you to have a successful career in music, if you're paying attention, and not closed off to anything." He explains, "Time and persistence has shown me that I can succeed at sharing my art with others as a musician while running my own music business. And that kind of success is as good as I could have ever wished for." When asked by Wheeler what brought him back to Minnesota after living in Los

 Angeles and traveling around the world, <mask> replied, "The first thing business people say is 'First and foremost, if you want to be successful, live where you want to live'."He grew up there and family were important to him. When he decided to become a solo artist he wanted to be comfortable in his environment and moved back. Composition and musical style

On composing

In an interview with Indie Journal, <mask> said that when writing music he prefers to concentrate on the melody first, stating, "Basically, I write from a two-person standpoint. First, I let the song take hold and I put down the idea as a raw emotional statement. Then I let it breathe and come back, approaching from more of an objective point of view. This allows me to rediscover the true meaning I intended in the beginning, shedding new light on how I can best represent that to the listener." This same concept is explained again in a taped interview with the Government Television Network with <mask> explaining that a lot of times he may only come up with part of a melody.Then he would let it rest and come back to it and see if it feels right. Then he would start "building around it", like putting a car together - start with a frame and then start building things around it. Musically, he tries to connect a common bridge between such exhilarating feelings as performing at the Acropolis, to the emotions each and every one feels every day. "In the end, a good melody will always stand the test of time", says <mask>. Debbage comments, "One strength of <mask> as an artist has been his keen ability to write inspiring music with appropriately titled songs that express that thought non-verbally". <mask>

texts: explained to Janus that, "Through instrumental music, I'm allowed to come up with musical ideas that allow the listener to create their own impression of my song. If you add lyrics about a girl in the song, the listener doesn't have a choice of what the song is about, it's told to them.My musical writings allow me to express anything. It's easier for me to tell a story of something I've encountered this way than to verbalize it. And my feelings are explored more in my compositions compared to what I could ever say in a few sentences." He believes that "music allows a person to express their deepest thoughts, thoughts that cannot be expressed with just words." He also believes that the spiritual aspect of creating is to "find something deep within yourself that can only be created by you"..."Your spiritual self cannot be copied and that's why it's so significant in life and music", he says. Parsons goes on to say, "The influence of years of touring with Yanni is apparent in the richness of <mask>'s sound, but his musical voice is his own." Yanni once said, "<mask>, your extreme sensitivity is your greatest gift".<mask> later realized what Yanni meant was that he needed that as a composer, that it was a crucial component "to be sensitive to what you see and to be able to apply that to music". Polta reports that he often references the past when he names his songs and his music is frequently reminiscent of his rural Minnesota roots. "Wind Farmer" was inspired by childhood visits to a relative's farm near Olivia, and his company, Robbins Island Music, is named after a city park in Willmar. <mask> employs a variety of instruments to compose including the Korg Triton

 music workstation, Korg SG-1 piano, and occasionally Korg M1. Rack units have included Roland JD-800, and Roland JV-1080 which he says is "great for string layers". The Alesis D4, Yamaha SY22, and Yamaha TG77 which has "some nice ethereal textures" have been utilized; working also with E-mu Systems Proteus 1, Proteus 2, and the E-5000 sampler because it is "easy to use and has a great library". Musical style

<mask>'s musical style and direction have varied over time, having released more than two hundred original compositions and arrangements since 1994."When I write it, it just kind of moves, because where I am in life is different", <mask> said. "So as I get older, it kind of changes." Hear the Masses and Rapture

<mask>'s recordings can offer full orchestrations such as in Hear the Masses and Rapture that combine smooth jazz with contemporary instrumental themes. A review of Rapture from New Age Voice states <mask> "paints romantic pictures in sound with voices and instruments that escalate from quiet, intimate passages to big, energetic movements". "The arrangements are structured so that the trumpet can lead a line out on 'Be Still' signaling an introspective sort of mood; yet the strings swell on 'The Passage' engulfing the listener in an ocean of sound." "Even cuts that start quiet, such as 'Healing the Hollow Man' or 'Blue Rock Road' ebb and flow between quiet moments and crescendos." Solo Journey and The Journey Continues
In contrast, albums such as Solo Journey and The Journey Continues are considered to be "stripped back and basic" by Debbage, with the latter featuring "<mask> and his piano with no additional clutter"."There is color in the songs via

 their understated melodies." As examples, Debbage describes <mask> as using a chord progression that translates into a strolling rhythm in the song "The Road Ahead". Solo Piano Publications contributor, Kathy Parsons, writes, "...'The Long, Last Mile' starts out with a bittersweet melody, and then builds in intensity and complexity with cello, winds, and ethereal sounds intertwining around the piano. Then it breaks off, and the opening melody returns." One Deep Breath
For the 2002 album One Deep Breath, <mask> combines "structured melodic pieces and free-form ambient compositions", which "departs dramatically from the previous more explosive and dynamic music on his first two recordings, Hear the Masses and Rapture". Binkelman writes, "It is an album with two distinct 'feels' to it: the more serene new age/ambient soundscapes that bookend the inner tracks and the more radio-friendly and mainstream music in-between." For instance, the song "Dance of Life" was inspired by Antonín Dvořák's opera, "Rusalka".It is a bit more straightforward in its piano presentation, and will probably appeal the most to hardcore fans of solo instrumental music, says Instrumental Weekly. Then the album closes with its title track, "One Deep Breath", that "floats and meanders for more than ten minutes, bringing in ocean sounds". It is "far and away the most ambient of everything else to be found here", and is "stunning, both in its execution and how radical a change it is from what has come before". Christmas Around the World and Classic Christmas
Debbage depicts "A Minnesota Snowfall" from Christmas Around the World as taking "a more naked, bare-boned ballad approach". While discussing

 Classic Christmas, Gerry Grzyb, chairman of the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh sociology department, states that <mask>'s usual approach is to play the carol straight, and then add his own twists. "... he's very effective at that—he doesn't stray as far as a jazz or classical organ improviser might, but he does keep the interest up." Grzyb says that the same applies to <mask>'s earlier Christmas Around the World CD, which he found even more interesting because of the use of other instrumental sounds.Suites & Sweets
<mask> has also produced numerous CDs that include cover arrangements for piano and orchestra. The 2009 release of Suites & Sweets features compositions by Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and other classical composers. <mask> told Fredericksen that he, "took the best parts and movements out of those classical songs … and made it soft and calm all the way through." Paint the Sky

After requests from listeners for <mask> to do another CD with original compositions that incorporate lush orchestration along with the piano, similar to Hear The Masses and Rapture, <mask> released Paint the Sky in April 2013. It is self-described as "piano instrumentals with a cinematic feel". John P. Olsen of New Age Music World writes that "Paint The Sky ...is best expressed by the near even number of songs with upbeat melodies and lively rhythms, with the balance centered by a light, casual relaxed atmosphere...with importance given to melodic rhythm and phrasing." In another review of Paint the Sky, Bill Binkelman of Wind and Wire says that "<mask> is one of the very best artists when it comes to crafting piano instrumentals augmented by the spot-on application of an assortment

texts: of keyboard embellishments, from standard orchestral accompaniment to more textural/new age elements".Kathy Parsons of MainlyPiano states "The thirteen pieces ...range from tender to majestic. Several pieces are solo piano and others are orchestrated with keyboards to give a vibrant, cinematic effect." About this album, Binkelman describes the song "Inside the Stars" as "an uptempo, joyous lead piano melody accented by bouncy rhythms played on kit drums, thumping bass, and tambourine plus superlative orchestral strings". Michael Debagge of MainlyPiano states that "the optimism of this album is felt immediately courtesy of the buoyancy of 'Inside The Stars', filled with <mask>'s nifty piano work more in the vein of Bruce Hornsby, then layered in strings and percussion work". In an in-depth analysis of the composition "In Dreams Awake", Binkelman opines that this song bears a strong contemporary classical influence and that some people might even hear strains of Philip Glass' music. He says there is an exultant feel to the melody, but because <mask> maintains absolute control of nuance and shading the song never descends into overblown melodrama or bombast. As the track progresses, the mood and style shifts into a more identifiable new age motif, with more textural synths, bell tones and bell trees, and a more pronounced sweeping sensation of subdued grandeur.The Glass-like motif returns for the song's finale. Parsons characterizes this same song as "a concept piece that begins with an intense and intriguing theme for cello or viola and strings. Building as it evolves, it never takes a breath until near the end of the theme. From there, the piece becomes dreamy and

texts:
 ambient, "floating effortlessly" on keyboard sounds until the original strings re-enter, increasing to the intensity of the first theme". At the same time, Debbage notes "...the multi-movements found on the challenging 'In Dreams Awake'..." and says that it "...opens with an extended piece of strings that almost appear to be battling against each other, only to move into a beautiful dreamy midsection to once again return to the more chaotic strings, much like our nonsensical dreams". Binkleman goes on to say that the song "Into the Big Blue" should instantly call Aaron Copland to mind – it has the same BIG orchestral/cinematic sound to it, along with Copland-esque western rhythm and melodic motifs. Similarly, Debbage states that this song brings to mind the musical opening theme of that old western television show The Big Valley.In reference to the song "Secrets of the Sun", Binkelman describes "lush strings and gorgeous new age synths with the piano melody here brimming with a blend of the ethereal and the romantic with a dash of wistfulness besides". The synth sounds remind him a little of Ray Lynch. Parsons details this as "much calmer and more graceful with a piano melody and keyboard enhancements". Debbage writes that "the remainder of the album is filled with <mask>'s uncanny ability to compose elegant and emotive ballads. Back track to 'Secrets Of The Sun' that gently sways in the piano and string arrangements with similar results found on 'The Edge Of My Heart'. Genres and radio formats

In discussing Rapture, John Blake of The Atlanta Journal notes that often new age music sounds as if it should be played in a supermarket.The songs can sound like musical cotton candy — soft, airy and ultimately uninteresting. "For the most part, <mask>'s music doesn't make that mistake." "The music is cinematic, filled with introspective piano solos, swelling violins, and a hypnotic song pacing that allows the listener to daydream." Along the same line, Michael Debbage of Mainly Piano says that Rapture almost single-handedly gave a sense of hope that there was much more that the New Age genre could offer. Cicily Janus remarks that, "Although <mask> has been, at times, pigeon holed into an offshoot of jazz, his message through his music is universal in its appeal and soothing

<mask> ( – 1647) was a Scottish soldier who fought for Sweden in the Thirty Years' War in Germany and for the Covenanters in Ireland, Scotland, and northern England. He built Manorhamilton Castle in County Leitrim in Ireland. His son Gustavus became the 1st Viscount Boyne. Birth and origins
<mask> was born about 1590 in Scotland, probably at Paisley. He was the fifth of the six children that lived to adulthood, and the youngest son, of <mask> and his wife Margaret Seton. His father was the 1st Lord Paisley. His father's family descended from Walter FitzGilbert, the founder of the House of Hamilton, who had received the barony of Cadzow from Robert the Bruce.<mask>'s mother was a daughter of George Seton, 7th Lord Seton by his wife Isobel <mask>. Both parents were Scottish and seem also to have been both Catholic. They had married in 1574. {{Tree chart|JmsA1| |CldSf| |GrgGw| |Frdrc|y|SdnVg|boxstyle=border-width: 1px; border-radius: 0.5em;

 in the Province of Connaught but northern Leitrim lies along the border with Ulster. Over the next two decades he increased his estate to 18,000 acres (73 km2). All that land had been seized from the O'Rourke clan in the Plantation of Leitrim. Marriage and children
On 20 May 1620 <mask> married Sidney Vaughan. She was a rich heiress, the only child of Sir John Vaughan, Governor of Londonderry. <mask> and Sidney had four children:
Christiana (married 1649), married Sir George Munro
<mask> (died before 1646), was killed in action in Ireland
James of Manorhamilton (died 1652), married his cousin Catherine, daughter of Claud <mask>, Lord Strabane
Gustavus (1642–1723), became the 1st Viscount Boyne

Swedish service
In November 1631, he entered Swedish service. He must by that time have converted to Protestantism as a Catholic would not have been acceptable to the Swedes.He became colonel of a Scottish-Irish regiment that served in Germany for 15 months during the Thirty Years' War. They fought in General Tott's army on the Elbe, the Weser and the Rhine. After spending a few years back in Leitrim, he unsuccessfully attempted to re-enter Swedish service in September 1637. Ireland
In 1634 he started building Manorhamilton Castle in northern Leitrim, around which grew the town of Manorhamilton. Sir <mask> was involved in a lengthy legal dispute over the ownership of parcels of land in the County of Leitrim with Tirlagh Reynolds of Kiltubbrid. On 15 November 1633 an injunction was granted to give Tirlagh

 possession, but it was dissolved. On 13 June 1634 a second injunction in favour of Tirlagh was granted.A Chancery order of 19 December 1634 dissolved that second injunction. On 5 December 1640, the committee for Irish affairs of the Long Parliament heard four petitions from Sir <mask> in this respect. The Down Survey shows Tirlagh Reynolds as owner of several parcels in southern Leitrim in 1641. During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Manorhamilton Castle was besieged several times, but remained intact. In the ensuing Irish Confederate Wars he fought for the Scottish Covenanters trying to keep the Confederates out of the north of Ireland. In 1643, after another unsuccessful attack upon the castle, he hanged 58 of his enemies from a scaffolding in front of the castle. On 1 July 1642, in retribution for cattle raids by the O'Rourke clan, he sacked the nearby town of Sligo, burning part of it, including Sligo Abbey, a Dominican friary.Local legend tells that on the way over the mountains back to Manorhamilton Castle, some of his men got lost in heavy fog. A guide on a white horse offered to lead them safely over the mountain, but intentionally led the men over a cliff and to their doom. This legend is the subject of a short story by Yeats, entitled The Curse of the Fires and of the Shadows. Scotland
The "Cessation" ceasefire of September 1643, negotiated by the Marquess of Ormond, was not recognised by the Covenanters, with which he was allied. The war in Leitrim and Ulster therefore went on. However, after 1643
