 Myers, Gerald Massey, and Arthur Joseph Munby, <mask> won the prize. As Burns was regarded as the national poet of Scotland, to win this contest in England as a woman, was quite an achievement for <mask>. Unaware that she had won the contest, <mask> was absent, so her poem was read aloud in her stead before a cheering crowd of thousands in the Crystal Palace who responded to the poem with a standing ovation and cries for the author to appear; her name was mistakenly pronounced "Esau," since the awarders assumed the winner must be male.This poem remains her most cited and praised work, one stanza of which appears below: The land he trod

Hath now become a place of pilgrimage;

  Where dearer are the daisies of the sod

That could his song engage. The hoary hawthorn, wreathed

Above the bank on which his limbs he flung

  While some sweet plaint he breathed;

  The streams he wandered near;

The maidens whom he loved; the songs he sung;—

    All, all are dear! Later career
In 1863, cotton exports in Lancashire were significantly decreased due to the American Civil War, causing great financial hardship to mill workers, so <mask> edited a volume by poets to dedicate to the town for their hardships and raise money. Among the contributors was the poet Christina Rossetti; the published volume was named Poems: An Offering to Lancashire. In 1863, she contributed along with the likes of Charles Kingsley, W. Holman Hunt, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Thomas Hughes to The

 Reader, a weekly review of literature, art, and science, newly published in London. After her marriage, <mask> published pieces occasionally in Fraser's Magazine, Good Words, and the Quiver, edited the Argosy, a travel and tales magazine, for a short time, and published some volumes of poems and juvenile histories. She completed many poems, newspaper articles and reviews in the later half of her career, most of whom are little known.Many of <mask>'s works were never attributed to her. Partial lists of her work can be found in various scholarly works on British literature, but some of her novels, such as her first, Mark Warren, are more obscure. Death and legacy
<mask> died at 88 Breakspears Road, Brockley, on 23 December 1903. Her burial took place 30 December 1903 in Lewisham, London, England. At the time of her death, she was beloved by many, as her numerous writings and activities had contributed to awareness of the need for social and political reform. Her questioning of the gender roles and class standards of the Victorian Era made her controversial, yet memorable for her time. The 1911 United Kingdom census reveals that her unmarried daughter Margaret, widowed husband, and his brother continued to live at the same address, with two domestic servants.It appears that on 27 May 1922, Margaret, aged 52 and giving her race as "Scotch," arrived in Quebec on the ocean liner RMS Victorian. She had travelled to Canada to visit a friend, the Rev. Arthur Garlick,

 incumbent of the Diocese of Caledonia. There is no record of <mask>'s daughter ever marrying or having children. Literary analysis
Not only did <mask> face contemporary criticism of her writings, but also faced public scorn for her views, especially as expressed in the English Women's Journal. One critic wrote to the editor of the Daily News of their concern regarding <mask>'s expressions, stating, "women's cause is man's" and "women never can, or ought to compete with man." While <mask>'s poems and writings have been regarded as "successful" in her own era, she has been praised for possessing and exerting great "intellectual powers."According to the Dictionary of National Biography, in verse <mask> produced nothing that was considered to have surpassed the excellency of the Burns ode. Her first volume, Poems by <mask> (1866), showed some promise, and some lyric quality appeared in Poems: an Offering to Lancashire (1863), an anthology edited by <mask>, as well as in Duchess Agnes, a Drama and other Poems (1864) and Songs of Consolation (1874). Dr. A. H. Japp edited a Selection from Mrs. <mask>'s Poems in 1892. Of Mrs. <mask>'s prose work, The Essence of Slavery (1863) summarized Fanny Kemble's Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation, and Esther West (1870; 6th edit. 1884) was a well-constructed story. Mrs. <mask>'s Little Folk's History of England (1872) reached its 30th thousand in 1899, and the author adapted from it a successful Easy History for

In her sonnet "Spring" appears the following memorable lines:  I love the spring-time for the lengthening light, And coming beauty. 'Tis like childhood's hours,When life is all before is stretching bright,And full with promise of its summer flowers,-When tears are soonest shed and soonest dried,And love hath no disguise, and beauty hath no pride. Other notable poems include "The Incarnation," "Never to Know," and "Wind and Stars." Works

Works for indigenous ensembles involve contemporary music and ancient traditions, they are a big part of Avital’s creations and researches.These projects seek a dialogue between cultures that seem distant in the common perception and the enhancement of unknown traditions. They enrich the contemporary musical language by presenting exciting sonorities, diverse esthetics, new instruments and vocal styles. Hence, contemporary works with ancient traditions or indigenous ensembles bring with them a meaningful value from a social, ethical, cultural and musical point of view.

<mask>v (; born June 29, 1940 in Moscow) is a Russian and Soviet composer. Biography
Artyomov was preparing to become physicist, studying music at the same time. He finished the musical college affiliated to the Moscow Conservatory (composition class of A. Pirumov), then graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in 1968 where he studied composition with Nikolai Sidelnikov and piano with Tovi Logovinsky. He became a member of the Union of Soviet Composers and Association for Contemporary Music (ACM). He was active as an editor at the Moscow publishers "Musyka" for several years. In 1975, he joined the improvisation group "Astreya" together with the composers Sofia Gubaidulina and Viktor Suslin. In 1979, he was blacklisted as one of the Khrennikov's Seven at the Sixth Congress of the Union of Soviet Composers for unapproved participation in some festivals of Soviet music in the West.His music was performed by M.Rostropovich, G.Rozhdestvensky, D.Kytaenko, V.Fedoseyev, M.Pletnyov, V.Spivakov, T.Currentzis, Virko Baley, D.Alexeev, S.Bunin, F.Kopachevsky, L.Isakadze, T.Grindenko, Yo-Yo Ma, A.Rudin, O.Yanchenko, L. Petrova. Music

Artyomov's compositions show his interest in the archaic ("Incantations", "Totem") and Christian motifs ("Requiem", "Ave, Maria") as well as Eastern meditation ("Awakening", "A Symphony of Elegies", "Moonlight Dreams"). As a young composer, he developed a profound interest, successively, in Russian folklore, traditional music of the East, works of Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Messiaen, and the Polish

 astounding creation, occupying a unique place for its composer and for Russian music in the last quarter of the 20th century." (Robert Matthew-Walker. "Elegies" CD by Olympia, 1993)."In the age of minimalism and abstraction Artyomov stands apart – his music is created to serve a greater purpose, much in the same way as the later works of Scriabin and the music of Messiaen." (Stephen A. Whealton. Way to Olympus CD by Mobile Fidelity, 1989)

"<mask> Artyomov is considered by many to be Russia's greatest living composer ... His music is deep, ultimately spiritual and brilliantly crafted, with influences from the Russian symphonic tradition colored by Mahler, Honegger and Messiaen to name a few – but melded into a unique voice." (Kathryn Marshall. "Divine Art", 2016)

"Artyomov writes big, ambitious tunes; listening to his music — and also on this Way to Olympus CD – we always feel small; Artyomov is a being who understands and has mastery of the universe while we are merely hairless monkeys on a speck of dust on the distant tip of the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way." (JMC. The Chronicle, 13 September 2018. www.chronicleseries.co.uk)

Digest of press reviews on Artyomov’s ten CDs released by Divine Art during last three years (see “Quotations” below).For the first time in recent decades, enthusiastic assessments of contemporary Russian culture have appeared in the foreign press. The reason was a series of ten CDs with recording of works by the Russian composer <mask> Artyomov, which was released by the

texts: English-American company Divine Art as a tribute to the composer on the occasion of his 80th anniversary. The series has provoked great public resonance to Artyomov’s music and the avalanche of reviews in popular music editions like Gramophone, American Record Guide, Pizzicato, Musical Opinion, Fanfare, The Classical Reviewer, etc. They often contain expressions such as «the most unusual talent today», «a work of exceptional beauty», «new order of spiritual values», «masterpiece», «unforgettable and touching», «magnificent», «bravo». Some consider Artyomov as “one of the greatest living composers” (MusicWebInternational), “one of the most individual and distinctive composers not just in the music of his native Russia but in Western Classical music as a whole!” (Musical Opinion), for others “The series of issues and re-issues of the music of <mask> Artyomov on Divine Art is one of the primary revival events of the past decade… It is time we celebrate his music—as the most bracing and original music of our times”(Classical Modern Music). Some reviewers recall that Mstislav Rostropovich, who ordered and performed three Artyomov’s symphonies (two of them performed by Teodor Currentzis and Vladimir Ashkenazi were included in the present series), was absolutely visionary saying: “Artyomov has absolutely clear and unique composer’s image... Artyomov brings glory to our country and to Russian art”. The French edition Classica had remembered even the former persecutor of Artyomov—Tikhon Khrennikov, who “by the irony of

 history (like A.Salieri who after listening to Mozart’s Requiem in Amadeus said: «Forgive your assassin!Mozart!») also eventually recognized the greatness of his enemy” and after the performance of Artyomov’s Requiem told journalists: “Artyomov is outstanding composer. His Requiem has raised Russian music to the unattainable previously height. I’m sure it is due to Artyomov that we have not only reached the European level in this genre, but surpassed its acmes—Requiems by Mozart and Verdi”. Christian edition The Christian Review writes: “The profound, spiritual nature of <mask> Petrovich Artyomov’s music led the conductor Teodor Currentzis to liken the Russian composer, who was born in 1940 in Moscow and is considered Russia’s greatest living composer, to Anton Bruckner”. Due to the great interest in Artyomov’s work, Divine Art decided to supplement the series by releasing new discs. Disc Astraea containing joint improvisations on non-orchestral instruments of composers V.Artyomov, S.Gubaidulina and V.Suslin was released in January 2020 (re-release of the 1994 disc). The Artyomov‘s eleventh CD (Album XI), which includes mostly unreleased chamber works by the composer, is expected in May 2020.(R.Gruzdkov. Way Up, 3, 2020)

This is a fully developed voice in new music, someone who has carried over the mysterious cosmos of late Scriabin and Messiaen and made something new out of the unrealized potentials that lurked behind those composers' most prescient creations. Artyomov speaks to me, in elegant and vivid eloquence. The Russian National Orchestra under conductors Teodor Currentzis and Vladimir Ponkin bring this complex and very personal music into vivid relief against the seeming silence of the universe. Artyomov travels in the wake of those before and manages to say something new and different. That is a remarkable achievement and he most certainly deserves a hearing.All you modernists and seekers of the new look no further, at least today. Give a listen to <mask> Artyomov on this very moving sample of his work. It gives us another way to thread the futurist needle." – Grego Applegate Edwards (Gapplegate Classical Modern Music, February 16, 2017)

"<mask> Artyomov is a distinctive and important voice in Russian music. These impressive symphonies are like momentous journeys, full of incident and emotion and the most wonderful ideas. The performances are all that you could wish for making these two discs valuable releases." – Bruce Reader (The Classical Reviewer)

"Two of those symphonies make welcome appearances here in characterful performances, vividly recorded.There is an unmistakable sense of a journey travelled and of emotional states transfigured into spirit. All the performances here are terrific and Robert Matthew-Walker's booklet-notes argue at passionate length for Artyomov's uniqueness and importance." – David Fanning (Gramophone) – joint review with dda 25144

"[The Symphony] is an engaging work that makes a considerable impact. Predominantly underpinned by low, resonant sound from the basses and organ, one senses the work is depicting the aspects of the universe. Ave atque vale is a gratifying work that can engage the listener with reasonable concentration. Ave Crux Alba is weighty and highly dramatic. Under the baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia has full measure of the work conveying a sense of

The expressive music is good for an interesting discovery." (award 4/5 stars) – Norbert Tischer (Pizzicato, Luxembourg)

"These two symphonies (parts of a tetralogy) are unlike The Planets, unless you think of them as uber-Holst: they cause a visceral reaction and suggest a metaphysical cri de coeur ... they embody mystery and the unknown. They are both accessible" – Vanessa Wells (The Whole Note) – joint review with dda 25144

"The Symphony On the Threshold of a Bright World is in 18 continuous episodes, separately tracked. A surreal and even psychedelic ambience is the order of the day. It is like a Dali dreamscape in constant and meltingly waxy motion.There is some glorious writing. The short Ave, Crux Alba – The Order of Malta Hymn – is sensationally grand and strides – never struts. It makes a huge sound accentuated by a lively acoustic. The sound is good and carries the whispers and grand climactics with satisfying fidelity. There is certainly plenty to intrigue and enthral." – Rob Barnett (MusicWeb)

"Gentle Emanation is in 28 continuous episodes and three sections. The music flickers and pounds like a huge

 old Slavonic chant. A most unusual talent whose day has yet to come insofar as the American concert-going audience is concerned." – Rafael de Acha (Rafael Music Notes)

"This large-scale work—with its huge dynamic range, its bouts of gnarled Bergian harmonies, its vehement percussion outbursts, its anguished strivings, its Messiaenic bird-chattering in the woodwinds, its Schoenbergian flutter-tonguing—is far closer to neo-Expressionism than it is to anything by the so-called New Spiritualists. Tristia II ... is shorter, gentler, and more hypnotic, a piece that's apt to whisper as often as Gentle Emanations is to scream. Both works get what sound like committed performances—and the sound is no obstacle." – Peter J. Rabinowitz (Fanfare)

"This symphony (Gentle Emanation) is unmistakably serious and spiritual, and its many colorful or even exotic details (for example, the almost Middle Eastern wind writing in Episode 5, and elsewhere, and a variety of bird calls—including a cuckoo— in Episode 13) prevent the music from seeming grim, even though there are no smiles here. The remaining four episodes ( On the Threshold) seem to serve as a conciliatory postlude, and here, Artyomov's writing becomes increasingly beautiful.The closing minutes of the symphony are very moving. Ave, Crux Alba is the most immediately impressive work on these two CDs. <mask> has created a strong and noble melody for the chorus, and dressed it in splendid orchestral garb. "Wrong" notes and harmonies intensify the emotional impact. In concert,

"Way to Olympus is a complex, thoughtful and ultimately satisfying symphony. If it had a chance, I believe it could be one of the ‘great' examples of this genre for our time. Gurian Hymn is a gorgeous work that is both inspiring and thoughtful. The concept of the four disparate layers working out their own destiny is memorable and moving. <mask> <mask>'s music parallels the beauty of the sonnets, with its emphasis on the everlasting cycle of life and death. Preludes to Sonnets remind me of late Scriabin; truly stunning."– John France (MusicWeb International, 2018)

"A Symphony of Elegies – this profound and essentially unique work can equally be seen as a musical equivalent of Eastern meditation, in its mostly un-rhythmic flow in which time and movement seem to lose meaning, the two solo violins in their highest register creating a vision of observation from above. It is an astounding creation, occupying a unique place for its composer and for Russian music from the last quarter of the 20th century. Artyomov is undoubtedly a successor to Scriabin: inhabiting a mystical world, certainly, but one founded upon natural, basic principles, which at its most compelling illuminates aspects of human existence in a way not approached by any other composer." – Robert Mathew-Walker (notes for A Symphony of Elegies CD, 2018)

"It is always interesting to encounter works by composers with whom one is unfamiliar and on this occasion it was truly stimulating and has set me on the road to exploring further treasures by Artyomov. There seems to be a genuine spirituality and sense of dignity underlying his works and if you are prepared to listen attentively you will find this music communicates with you in a most direct manner. A revelation!" – editor@iclassical.co.uk (iClassical rating *****, July 31, 2018)

"<mask> Artyomov's one-movement symphony (Way to Olympus) is the atmospheric centrepiece of this disc – the layering of sounds is hypnotic and the effect is powerful!" – Freya Parr (BBC Music Magazine, September,2018)

"(Artyomov) has certainly written a good deal, notably two cycles of symphonies: Symphony of the Way, which is a tetralogy consisting of Way to Olympus, On the Threshold of a Bright World, Gentle Emanation and The Morning Star Arises, and The Star of Exodus, a trilogy with soloists consisting of In Memoriam, In Spe and In Gloriam (the last possibly unfinished). Some parts of these have been recorded, along with other works, and the enterprising Divine Art

"Artyomov writes big, ambitious tunes; listening to his music — and also on this (Way to Olympus) the fourth CD – we always feel small; Artyomov is a being who understands and has mastery of the universe while we are merely hairless monkeys on a speck of dust on the distant tip of the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way." – (from: Jeremy Condliffe. The Congleton Chronicle, 13 September 2018)

"The profound, spiritual nature of <mask> Petrovich Artyomov's music has led the conductor Teodor Currentzis to liken the Russian composer, who was born in 1940 in Moscow and is considered Russia's greatest living composer, to Anton Bruckner. For admirers of Artyomov's works the release of these recordings of two of his finest symphonies (each is quite arresting and beautiful), along with the additional works that are included and the excellence of the conductors and musicians, surely will be welcome and perhaps will lead to new insights and appreciation. For those new to Artyomov's works, they are an excellent introduction to a composer of genius. Majestic and dramatic at times, reflective and interior at others, and some times playful, On the Threshold of a Bright World and Gentle Emanation seeks to depict the awe-inspiring mystery of God.This is not the music of a

It is, however, music that captures a sense of God as the mysterious, uncontainable, uncreated light, and human beings as creatures struggling to meet their God, music that has at its core a clear understanding of the Orthodox faith." – (from: Rev. Kevin Bezner. Music for the Soul by <mask> Artyomov, Russia's Greatest Living Composer, January 22, 2017)

"Both of Artyomov's records (symphonies) are retrospective collections of orchestral music, from as early as 1990 and revised as recently as 2011. The Russian composer writes in a range of styles, from the straightforward and neoclassical to atmospheric and aggressively modern. With this flexibility of approach his music never sounds quite stable or steady.Even short works threaten to rupture and swerve from the expected. What may start off sounding like Ligetian density and volume can quickly revert to the bizarre playfulness of a Mahler scherzo. This stylistic cosmopolitanism is a strength that keeps the music afloat, even through a couple of hours. It also presents something of a challenge, in that there is little that is predictable or that can be taken for granted in any of the works recorded here. This constant demand for attention can be tiring, but is usually rewarding. I must admit that I'd never heard of Artyomov before getting these records, but I certainly find myself wanting to hear more!" – (from: George Adams.American Record Guide. April 2017)

"For the past half-century, <mask> Artyomov (b1940) has proved himself again and again to be one of the most individual and distinctive composers not just in the music of his native Russia but in Western Classical music as a whole ...
Artyomov's harmonic and rhythmic patterns, and its underlying pulse, while almost glacially slow at times are more varied and never static. Rather, the music seems at some stratospheric height, its invention stretched out over an entirely different timeframe, or timeframe of reference. Its three movements are captivating, mesmerising, utterly compelling. Superb." – (from: Guy Rickards, Musical Opinion, January – March, 2019)

"In keeping with expectations associated with Requiem this work is a grand statement. Its subject matter is as much about Russia, its people and their tragic history as about Christianity and Eternity.Artyomov's musical language is hard-hitting but not avant-garde in any West Coast or London Round House sense. Artyomov has made a renewed impact in the last two years and this is largely due to the recording label, Divine Art. I say 'renewed' because in previous decades his music has been available thorough Olympia, Melodiya,

"Artyomov chooses to play the card of monumental pathos: his Requiem is a vast cry that alternates revolt and elegy, vehemence and lamentation.The mass of the choruses is combined with a powerful orchestra that is further strengthened by the organ and the bells. From the dissonance of the most tense moments (Dies Irae, Tuba Mirum), to the plaints of feminine voices rising in calmness, everything is done to upset the listener, to force him to face the suffering of the Russia. In an irony of history, Khrennikov, who had organized the boycott of Artyomov, also ends up recognizing the greatness of his enemy in his hearing of this work ... We would almost think of Salieri faced with the Requiem of Mozart in Amadeus." – (from: Sarah Léon (Classica, France) – translation by Stephen Sutton, 4 March 2019)

"Many consider <mask> Artyomov Russia's greatest living composer. Sola Fide underwent a lengthy gestation. It began in the early 1980s with a suggestion from Nikita Dolgushin, a Leningrad-based dancer and choreographer, that Artyomov compose a ballet based on Aleksey Tolstoy's trilogy Road to Calvary. A libretto was initially mooted 'after

 the novel' from Valeriya Lyubetskaya.This turned out not to be feasible. The composer thus adapted the subject, retaining the novel's principal characters, especially that of the Poet, who symbolizes Culture – the creation and dissemination of which justifies humanity. The death of the Poet signifies the collapse of Humankind. Artyomov decided on a ballet-requiem, employing a full choir and soloists. Due to pressures of work the ballet was put on hold, but a Requiem emerged dedicated to the 'Martyrs of long-suffering Russia'. It was premiered in 1988. It was not until 2016 that Sola Fide was finally completed.It consists of 30 episodes in 3 acts, 10 of which are shared with the Requiem. The episodes are forged into five suites: Katia, Dasha, Poet, The Terrible Days and Catastrophe. This recording includes Katia and The Terrible Days, two suites shared with the Requiem. Once again the composer dedicated the ballet to the 'Martyrs of long-suffering Russia' ... This captivating release will no doubt stir me on to explore more of this composer's strikingly potent music." – (from: Stephen Greenbank. MWI, June 2018)

"As the author, over 20 years ago now, of the first book ever to be published on the music of <mask> Artyomov (born 1940), it has been a singular pleasure for me to have witnessed his slow but growing acceptance by many to become Russia's greatest living composer.As Divine Art has rightly claimed, after the fall of the Soviet regime his music has travelled the world to great acclaim. It is deep,

 ultimately spiritual and brilliantly crafted, with influences from the Russian symphonic tradition coloured by Mahler, Scriabin, Honegger and Messiaen to name a few — but melded into a unique voice! The tradition Artyomov follows on much of the CD here is that of Russian ballet, and this new release contains two further suites drawn from his ballet 'Sola Fide' ('Only by Faith'), based on Tolstoi's novel The Road to Calvary, and therefore naturally sharing the ethos and music of Artyomov's Requiem — the first Requiem (1985–88) to be written by a Russian, let alone a Soviet, composer." – (from: Robert Matthew-Walker. Musical Opinion, April – June 2018)

"<mask> Artyomov prefers not to call his music 'contemporary', but uses a special term to denote its inclusion in the Tradition – 'musica perennis' ('eternal music'). A distinctive feature of the composer's works is their spirituality and loftiness, deep religiousness. According to the author 'Music is the greatest achievement of human genius.And it is the only cultural phenomenon that promotes the development of high moral qualities in people.'

Taplett served with distinction in the Marine Corps for 20 years. He served aboard ship in the Pacific Theater during World War II. During the Korean War, he served as commander of 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines. After retiring from the Marine Corps, he authored a book that chronicled his experiences during the Korean War. Biography

 Inchon landing, taking Wolmi-do Island(Battle of Inchon), which was the gateway to Inchon. He led the 3rd Battalion through the gates of Seoul to liberate the South Korean State House. During the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, Taplett distinguished himself. From November 27 to December 10, 1950, he supported the strategic fallback of American forces, who were outnumbered by the Chinese nearly 5 to 1. Despite the severe cold and harsh weather, he and his men fought desperately to clear the road which allowed for escape from the reservoir. Of the roughly 1,300 men in his unit who began the fight, only 326 able-bodied Marines were left.For his leadership during the battle, <mask> was awarded the Navy Cross. After the war

From 1957 through 1959, he was based in Marine Corps Base Hawaii, although most of his time was spent training troops in Okinawa and the Philippines. <mask> was also a guest lecturer to various military units throughout the country speaking on the importance of close air support for ground troops. He retired from the Marine Corps in 1960, citing his displeasure with not being able to work directly with his troops and his military pay, which was not enough to support six children. In retirement
Afterward, <mask> and his family moved to Arlington, Virginia, where he spent the rest of his life. He earned a master's degree from George Washington University in 1974.He joined the United States Postal Service and fully retired in 1993.

The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Lieutenant Colonel <mask> <mask> (MCSN: 0-6678), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United Nations while serving as Commanding Officer of the Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in the Republic of Korea from 28 November to 10 December 1950. When a vastly outnumbering hostile force attacked his Battalion assembly area northwest of Yudam-ni during the pre-dawn hours of 28 November, Lieutenant Colonel Taplett remained steadfast in the midst of heavy fire and bursting grenades as the enemy penetrated to within ten yards of the command post, maintaining communications with and directing the fire of two of his companies which were also under attack and directing the third reserve company in delivering a brilliantly executed counterattack to repel the onslaught in all sectors before daybreak. Assigned, on 1 December, to break the enemy's main line of resistance which controlled the principal supply route of entrapped Marine units near Yudam-ni, he placed himself in a forward position to observe and control operations and, although he was knocked to the ground by mortar fire on one occasion, and subjected to continuous small-arms and artillery fire throughout two days of intensive action, succeeded in driving the enemy from the area, thereby enabling the FIRST Marine Division to remove all troops, casualties, equipment and supplies in

 safety.With the Division train cut in half by hostile fire during the march from Hagaru-ri to Koto-ri on 7 December, and the rear elements unable to advance for a period of more than ten hours, Lieutenant Colonel Taplett moved two miles to the head of the convoy under heavy fire and, effecting a skillful reorganization, started the train moving, at the same time supervising his own Battalion in offensive neutralizing action against the strongpoint. Later the same day when the enemy struck the rear echelon in estimated battalion strength, he again left his position and braved the intense fire to analyze the situation. Promptly calling for air strikes, bringing his own supportive fire to bear and maneuvering two rifle companies into action, he conducted a devastating offensive to annihilate the attackers and enable the Marine units to reach their destination without further opposition. By his inspiring leadership, forceful combat tactics and gallant fighting spirit maintained against staggering odds, Lieutenant Colonel <mask> contributed to the success of his Battalion in accounting for more than 2,000 of the enemy with a total of only 117 in his own ranks. His fortitude and devotion to duty throughout the bitterly fought twelve-day battle reflect the highest credit upon himself and the United States Naval Service. First Silver Star citation

title: Pope Sergius I

texts:
<mask> (8 September 701) was the bishop of Rome from 15 December 687 to his death, and is revered as a saint by the Roman Catholic church. He was elected at a time when two rivals, Paschal and Theodore, were locked in dispute about which of them should become pope. His papacy was dominated by his response to the Quinisext Council, the canons of which he steadfastly refused to accept. Thereupon Emperor Justinian II ordered Sergius' arrest, but the Roman people and the Italian militia of the exarch of Ravenna refused to allow the exarch to bring Sergius to Constantinople. Early life
<mask> I came from an Antiochene Syrian family which had settled at Palermo in Sicily. Sergius left Sicily and arrived in Rome during the pontificate of Adeodatus II. He may have been among the many Sicilian clergy in Rome due to the Caliphate's attacks on Sicily in the mid-7th century.<mask> <mask> ordained him cardinal-priest of Santa Susanna on 27 June 683, and he rose through the ranks of the clergy. He remained cardinal-priest of Santa Susanna until he was selected to become pope. Election

Pope Conon died on 21 September 687 after a long illness and a reign of less than a year. His archdeacon, Paschal, had already bribed the exarch of Ravenna, <mask> Platyn, to make him Conon's successor. A more numerous faction wanted the archpriest Theodore to become pope. The two factions entered into armed combat, each in possession of part of the Lateran Palace, which was the papal residence. To break the deadlock, a group of civic authorities, army officers, clergy, and other citizens met in the Palatine imperial palace, elected Sergius, and then stormed the Lateran, forcing the two rival candidates to

 accept Sergius.Though pretending to accept Sergius, Paschal sent messengers to Platyn, promising a large sum of gold in exchange for military support. The exarch arrived, recognized that <mask> had been regularly elected, but demanded the gold anyway. After <mask>'s consecration on 15 December 687, Platyn departed. Paschal continued his intrigues and was eventually confined to a monastery on charges of witchcraft. <mask>'s consecration ended the last disputed sede vacante of the Byzantine Papacy. Papacy
On 10 April 689, Sergius baptised King Cædwalla of Wessex in Rome. He also ordained Willibrord as bishop of the Frisians.After Berhtwald was consecrated archbishop of Canterbury by Archbishop Godwin of Lyon, he traveled to Rome and received the pallium from Pope Sergius. Sergius was active in ending the Schism of the Three Chapters with Old-Aquileia in 698. He founded the diaconia of Santa Maria in Via Lata on Via del Corso, encompassing a city quarter that developed in the 8th century. He also "restored and embellished" the Eastern church of Santi Cosma e Damiano. <mask> I did not attend the Quinisext Council of 692, which was attended by 226 or 227 bishops, overwhelmingly from the Patriarchate of Constantinople. The participation of Basil of Gortyna in Crete, belonging to the Patriarchate of Rome, has been seen in the East as representing Rome and even as signifying Roman approval, but he was in fact not a papal legate. Sergius rejected the canons of the council as invalid and declared that he would "rather die than consent to erroneous novelties".Though a loyal subject of the Empire, he would not be "its captive in matters of religion". Writers such as Andrew J.

texts: Ekonomou have speculated on which canons in particular <mask> found objectionable. Ekonomou excludes the anathemizing of Pope Honorius I, the declaration of Constantinople as equal in privileges but second in honour to Rome. All popes since Leo the Great had adamantly rejected the 28th canon of the Council of Chalcedon, which on the basis of political considerations tried to raise the ecclesiastical status of the Patriarchate of Constantinople to equality with that of old Rome. Ekonomou mentions rather the approval by the Quinisext Council of all 85 Apostolic Canons, of which Sergius would have supported only the first 50. Many of the regulations that the Quinisext Council enacted were aimed at making uniform the existing church practices regarding ritual observance and clerical discipline. Being held under Byzantine auspices, with an exclusively Eastern clergy, the council regarded the customs of the Church of Constantinople as the orthodox practice.Practices in the Church in the West that had got the attention of the Eastern patriarchates were condemned, such as: the practice of celebrating Mass on weekdays in Lent (rather than having pre-sanctified liturgies); of fasting on Saturdays throughout the year; of omitting the "Alleluia" in Lent; of depicting Christ as a lamb. In a step that was symbolically important in view of the council's prohibition of depicting Christ as a Lamb, Sergius introduced into the liturgy the chant "Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us" at the breaking of the Host during Mass, and restored the damaged facade mosaic in the atrium of Saint Peter's that depicted the Worship of the Lamb. The Agnus Dei would have been

 chanted in both Greek and Latin during this period, in the same manner as the other liturgical changes of Sergius. Larger disputes were revealed regarding Eastern and Western attitudes toward celibacy for priests and deacons, with the Council affirming the right of married men to become priests and prescribing excommunication for anyone who attempted to separate a clergyman from his wife, or for any cleric who abandoned his wife. Enraged, Emperor Justinian II dispatched his magistrianus, also named Sergius, to arrest Bishop John of Portus, the chief papal legate to the Third Council of Constantinople, and Boniface, the papal counselor. The two high-ranking officials were brought to Constantinople as a warning to the pope. Eventually, Justinian ordered Sergius's arrest and abduction to Constantinople by his notoriously violent bodyguard protospatharios Zacharias.However, the militia of the exarch of Ravenna and the Duchy of Pentapolis frustrated the attempt. Zacharias nearly lost his own life in an attempt to arrest <mask>. Rather than seizing upon the anti-Byzantine sentiment, Sergius did his best to quell the uprising. Death
<mask> died on 8 September 701. He was succeeded by John VI. Notes

title: Mark Schultz (comics)

texts:
<mask> (; born June 7, 1955) is an American writer and illustrator of books and comics. His most widely recognized work is his self-created and owned comic book series, Xenozoic Tales, about a post-apocalyptic world where dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures coexist with humans. He is also the current writer of the Prince Valiant comic strip. Early life
<mask> was born  just outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but was raised near Pittsburgh. At the age of six he discovered both comics and classic adventure films, his early favorites including Tarzan and King Kong. As a teenager he was further inspired by such fantasy authors as Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard and the artists who had illustrated their work, including Frank Frazetta, Roy Krenkel, and Al Williamson, Wally Wood, Howard Pyle and Joseph Clement Coll. <mask> enrolled in Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 1973 and graduated in 1977 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting.From there, he embarked upon a career in advertising illustration, bolstered by such odd jobs as working as a security guard, but he found this work unsatisfying. Career

First comics work
In the early 1980s, <mask> became interested in the burgeoning underground comics scene, which allowed independent artists to publish stories outside the traditional assembly-line approach of the mainstream comics industry. He also became attracted to the art of the classic stories published by EC Comics in the 1950s. At one point, he took the few boxes of 1960s and early 1970s Marvel and DC comic books he owned to a

 local comic book store and traded them for a large collection of EC Comics. From then on, he began to hone his illustration style to emulate that of classic EC artists. <mask>'s first published comics work was on a story called "The Sea King", featuring Robert E. Howard's character King Kull, which appeared in Savage Sword of Conan #132, published by Marvel Comics. <mask> inked over pencils by Val Semeiks.<mask> did not actively pursue further work from Marvel, however, as he was more interested in developing and publishing comics based on his own concepts. Xenozoic Tales
Throughout the early 1980s, <mask> would germinate the ideas which would eventually bear fruit as Xenozoic Tales. The characters and stories he created were set in a future time period he dubbed the "Xenozoic Age", in which an unspecified cataclysm had all but wiped out modern human society. The survivors emerged from their underground bunkers to find a world transformed, where prehistoric creatures had once again become the dominant life forms on Earth. The first story set in the Xenozoic Age that <mask> completed was "Mammoth Pitfall", but it would not see publication until Xenozoic Tales #2. The first to be published was "Xenozoic! ", which ran in the anthology title Death Rattle #8, published in December 1986 by Kitchen Sink Press.Later work
Since Xenozoic Tales, <mask> has written comics series for a number of publishers, including Dark Horse and DC. Typically these are stories based on company-owned or licensed characters, rather than his own original work. <mask> created the

<mask> Wykeham (; 1320 or 1324 – 27 September 1404) was Bishop of Winchester and Chancellor of England. He founded New College, Oxford, and New College School in 1379, and founded Winchester College in 1382. He was also the clerk of works when much of Windsor Castle was built. Early life
<mask> of Wykeham (born <mask>) was the son of John Longe, a freeman from Wickham in Hampshire. He was educated at a school in Winchester, and probably enjoyed early patronage from two local men, Sir Ralph Sutton, constable of Winchester Castle, and Sir John Scures, lord of the manor of Wickham, and then from Thomas Foxley, Constable of Windsor Castle. In 1349, <mask> was described as a chaplain when he was appointed rector of Irstead in Norfolk, a position which was in the gift of the Crown. Builder

<mask> became secretary to the constable of Winchester Castle and in that capacity learned about building.This led to architectural work for King Edward III, for whom he reconstructed Windsor Castle whilst residing at Bear's Rails in Old Windsor. <mask> developed a reputation for the administration and supervision of royal building works during the reign of Edward III. By May 1356, he was clerk of the works for houses being built for the Crown at Henley on the Heath in Surrey and Easthampstead in Berkshire, and he was appointed surveyor of the long-running works to develop Windsor Castle in October 1356. He rapidly rose in royal service, and in July 1359 he was appointed chief keeper and surveyor of Windsor Castle, Leeds Castle, Dover Castle,

<mask>'s career took a turn by 1361, when he became a royal secretary, part of the administration of the royal finances, and by 1363 he was a royal councillor. He was present when the Treaty of Brétigny was agreed in Calais in 1360.In January 1361, Edward III and John II of France jointly to petitioned Pope Innocent VI, to make <mask> a canon at Lincoln Cathedral. He was appointed Justice in Eyre south of the Trent along with Peter Atte Wode in 1361, a position he held until about 1367. <mask> was ordained in 1362 and paid for his services by being given the incomes of various churches. For instance, in April 1363, Edward III presented him to the archdeaconry of Lincoln, a move that was approved by Pope Urban V in November 1363 only after representations from Sir Nicholas de Loveyne, the king's ambassador to the papal court. By 1366, <mask> held two benefices and eleven prebends, with an annual income exceeding £800. <mask> had shown considerable talent as an administrator and in June 1363 was appointed Lord Privy Seal and then in October 1366 he was elected Bishop of Winchester, Pope Urban V approved his appointment in July 1367, and he was consecrated at St Paul's Cathedral in London on 10 October 1367 and enthroned at Winchester Cathedral in July

He lost the favour of the king, who turned to <mask>, 4th Baron Latimer, and he resigned as Chancellor in 1371. As Edward III aged and weakened, <mask> maintained good relationships with Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March, John of Gaunt and Edward, the Black Prince. He remained politically important, and was one of four bishops appointed to the new royal council in May 1376 after Latimer was impeached during the Good Parliament. His friendship with the Earl of March led to a long conflict with John of Gaunt, who supported Latimer. Latimer was pardoned by king in October 1376, and <mask> found himself charged with financial irregularities and mismanagement towards the end of the year. He was banished from court and the income from his church properties was seized in late 1376, but he was pardoned by the new king Richard II in July 1377, weeks after Edward III died.(Richard was the son of Edward, the Black Prince, who had died in June 1376, a year before his father.) Richard II
Under Richard II, <mask> resumed his position as a royal councillor. Although he took the side of the Lords Appellant in their disputes with the king in 1388, he also managed to maintain good relations with the king, and served as Chancellor again from May 1389 to September 1391.

Construction work began in Oxford in 1380, and in Winchester in 1387, under the architect <mask>. At both colleges, <mask> stipulated daily prayers for Richard II and his queen, <mask> and his parents, and his former patrons, Sir Ralph Sutton, Sir John Scures, and Thomas Foxley.The funds to endow the colleges, and pay for the building works, came from <mask>'s lucrative church positions, discounting of exchequer tallies (that is, speculation on tax revenues due to the king), exporting wool, and using his influence to obtain papal approval for the acquisition of the income of the "alien priories" that belonged to monasteries in France, which were confiscated by the crown during the Hundred Years' War. He also started the rebuilding of the nave of Winchester Cathedral in 1394. <mask> was concentrating on his foundation by the time Henry IV deposed Richard II in 1399, but he welcomed the new king in Winchester in 1400. Death and legacy
<mask> died at Bishop's Waltham in Hampshire on 27 September 1404 and was buried in his chantry chapel on the south side of the nave in Winchester Cathedral. At the time of his death, he was one of the richest men in England.
