<mask> (8 May 1926 – 27 July 2005) was a French historian and Trotskyist revolutionary militant whose work covers the history of the Bolshevik Party, the Spanish Revolution and biographies of Leon Trotsky. Background
Broué was born in Privas, Ardèche, around 1926. His father was a civil servant and mother a school teacher: they had "strong republican views". Career
In 1936, Broué supported a French general strike as well as the Spanish Republic. By 1940, with Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia in a non-aggression pact, he helped organize a Communist party cell at the Lycée Henri IV in Paris. The French Communist Party expelled these organizers; they said Broué suffered from Trotskyism. The accusation piqued his interest, and he began reading about Trotsky from the private library of teacher Élie Reynier.With the Party, he fought in the French resistance against Nazi occupiers during Second World War. When Joseph Stalin disbanded the Comintern in 1943, Broué became strongly critical of Stalinism, resigning from the FCP as a result. By 1944, he became a Trotskyist, joined the Fourth International, and remained a Trotskyist for the rest of his life. In 1952, he followed <mask> during a split in the movement and continued as a "Lambertist" for many years. He was active in the Internationalist Communist Party and then the Internationalist Communist Organisation before expelled in 1989. He became a secondary school teacher, until 1965 when he became lecturer in history at the University of Grenoble and then professor. In 1977, he set up the Trotsky Institute, to publish in French all of Trotsky's writings (so far,

 27 volumes).He also founded and edited the Cahiers Léon Trotsky, devoted to the history of Trotskyism. Between 2003 and his death, he was a close collaborator and supporter of the International Marxist Tendency. Personal life
Broué married three times. His third wife Andrée died in 1989 from cancer. Former student <mask> Juy was a long-time friend. Alan Woods was a late-life friend and admirer. Broué died in Grenoble, France, in his sleep in the early hours July 27, 2005, age 79.He had prostate cancer. Five children survived him: two sons and three daughters. His son <mask> is a notable mathematician. Works
The basic inspiration for Broué's books was his desire to explain Stalinism. His book Trotsky (1988) counters the work of Isaac Deutscher. He worked for three years at Harvard, to which Trotsky had sold his papers in 1940. Broué and assistants were the first researchers to use them since the archive opened in 1980.Alan Woods has called it "a very healthy antidote to the superficial and pretentious philistinism of Isaac Deutscher". The recent republication of Trotsky's autobiography, My Life, has a foreword written by Broué. Books written

<mask> (November 20, 1890 – April 20, 1973) was an American film and television actor remembered for his role as Carl Denham in the 1933 version of King Kong by RKO Pictures. He uttered the famous exit quote, "'it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast." at the film's end. Early years
Born in Saginaw, Michigan, <mask> lived in Bay City, Michigan until about 1902 and moved to Seattle, Washington. He attended the University of Washington, where he studied law, and became a member of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity. <mask> gave up his studies to manage his uncle's touring companies.Career
In his spare time, <mask> wrote plays, which eventually led to him appearing in one of them when it was produced. <mask> served in the United States Army in World War I, and upon his return home after the war, <mask> discovered his uncle had died while he was away. In 1926, he went to London and appeared for a season on the British stage. <mask>'s silver screen career began in 1927 when he appeared in Pathé's silent drama The Main Event. He appeared in 127 films between 1927 and 1964; very prolific in the late 1920s and early 1930s, he made nine movies in 1928 alone. He is best known for his role as director Carl Denham in King Kong. Months later, he starred as Carl Denham again in the sequel, Son of Kong, released the same year.He resembled King Kong producer and adventurer Merian C. Cooper, and Cooper used him in several

The Most Dangerous Game was filmed at night on the same jungle sets as King Kong, which was shot during the day, with <mask> and Fay Wray simultaneously starring in both pictures. In 1937, <mask> starred in With Words and Music (also referred to as The Girl Said No), released by Grand National Films Inc. He also worked throughout the 1930s and 1940s for many film studios. Prior to World War II, in 1940, Universal Pictures released Enemy Agent, about countering a Nazi spy ring. In the film, <mask> co-starred with Helen Vinson, Richard Cromwell and Jack La Rue. In 1942, he was reteamed with Cromwell in Baby Face Morgan, a notable B movie for PRC (Producers Releasing Corporation).Later in that decade, <mask> played another Carl Denham-like leading character role as "Max O'Hara" in 1949's Mighty Joe Young. This film was another stop-motion animation giant gorilla fantasy, made by the same King Kong team of Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack. In the 1950s, he appeared as Sheriff Andy Anderson on Rod Cameron's syndicated western-themed television series, State Trooper. <mask> made four guest appearances on Perry Mason during its nine-year run on CBS: in 1961 he played the title character and murder victim Captain Bancroft in "The Case of the Malicious Mariner"; in 1962 he played defendant Jimmy West in "The Case of the Playboy Pugilist"; and in 1964 he played murderer Phil Jenks in "The

 holiday and was encouraged to try the sport by her mother. <mask> was inspired to take up the sport competitively when she met sit-skier Sean Rose, shortly after he had competed at the 2010 Winter Paralympics. Her mother was <mask>'s first sighted guide until late January 2013 for financial reasons.The pair competed together in visually impaired (VI) races. In November 2012, at age 13, <mask> began training with Great Britain's Paralympic development squad. She raced at the Europa Cup in slalom and giant slalom. in spring 2013. Her stand in, temporary sighted guide at the Games, Rachael Ferrier, briefly joined <mask> at the end of 2013. <mask> competes in class B2 due to her lack of complete vision, a classification between being blind and visually impaired. 2014 Paralympics
<mask>'s debut Paralympics was the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi; competing at the age of 15 made her the youngest ParalympicsGB competitor at any Winter Paralympics.She was the flag bearer at the opening ceremony for ParalympicsGB, carrying the flag at the Fisht Olympic Stadium, an honour <mask> described as "a surprise". She competed for ParalympicsGB in the slalom on 14 March, completing both of her runs, and finishing fifth, and competed in the giant slalom on 16 March, again finishing fifth.

That season she travelled to Canada to compete at the 2015 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships in Panorama Mountain Village in British Columbia. Prior to the Championships <mask> had won two gold medals on the World Cup tour and hopes were high that she may medal.At Panorama <mask> took part in the two technical events, the slalom and giant slalom, as she was still too young to compete in the speed events. In her first event, the giant slalom, <mask> took the lead in the first run with a time of 1:12.90, but despite bettering this time in her second run with 1:11.49, she was beaten into silver medal place by a third of a second by Russia's Aleksandra Frantseva. Two days later <mask> took part in the slalom, winning bronze, Britain's only two medals of the games. The following season <mask> teamed up with guide Brett Wild, who had previously raced with <mask>'s coach Euan Bennet on the Scottish ski team. After initially meeting at a training camp in December 2015, the pair competed together at the World Cup finals in Aspen, Colorado, where they took two wins in the downhill and super-G and a third place in the giant slalom: this success convinced the pair to focus on the speed disciplines, which they felt were their strength. In the run-up to the 2017 World Para Alpine Skiing Championships in Tarvisio, Italy, <mask> enjoyed a great deal of success on the World Cup circuit, taking 11 medals including seven golds in the months leading up to the championships. At the Championships themselves, <mask> and guide Brett Wild took gold in the downhill with a time of 1:13.42, beating

In an interview with ESPN, former Mexico goalkeeper Oswaldo Sánchez spoke of <mask> as "I think that the most complete of [<mask>, Ochoa, and Corona] is Talavera, because he is a guy that has strong legs, is good in the air, plays well with his feet and has good reactions."

<mask><mask> (30 May 1910 – 18 January 1995) was a German language and Francophone writer. He was born in Germany, but by the time he died he had acquired French citizenship through marriage, and he lived in France for most of his life. Although many sources start with his career as a writer, he was also a left wing activist and a coppersmith. Life
<mask> was born ten years into the twentieth century in Guntersblum, a small town in the wine growing region to the south of Mainz:  he grew up in nearby Dolgesheim. <mask> was one of his parents' eight recorded children. At the time of his birth his father worked as a craftsman/boilermaker, but after the war took a job with the post office. <mask>'s childhood was marked by the violent and authoritarian temperament of his father, and he left home as a teenager.The boy fell foul of the law fairly early on, and after leaving middle school he attended a "correction institute" between 1926 and 1929. During the later 1920s he spent some time living on the streets and frequently ran away from the institutions in which he was placed, preferring the company of young communists, anarchists or naturists. Although he was able to connect with members of relevant organisations, he later insisted that he had remained on the side-lines rather than becoming a member "as such". Nevertheless, sources indicate that he joined the Communist Party in 1929. In 1929 he was arrested again, for breach of the peace, and during 1930 he spent time in prison for knocking out a policeman during the course of a demonstration. He later stated that it had been in prison at this time that he started to write. He wrote court reports for Communist Party publications and also had sketches, opinion pieces and reports published in mainstream newspapers including the Frankfurter Zeitung.He was at the same time undertaking

texts: ahead of another Polish partition, Glaser resigned his Communist Party membership. War resumed at the beginning of September 1939:  nine days later <mask> was called up for military service in the French army.His fellow soldiers knew of his German origins which in the atmosphere of the times made for a very uneasy form of comradeship. In 1940 he was taken prisoner by the Germans. By now he was sufficiently fluent in French, and with the help of a false name, to avoid identification as a German Communist. He spent most of the balance of the war in a succession of prisons and prisoner camps. In 1943 he managed to escape from a prison camp near Görlitz, but was captured again a few months later near Strasbourg. The period 1920–1945, covering <mask>'s eventful adolescence and early adulthood in France and Germany, are recalled in his book, "Geheimnis und Gewalt" (Secret et Violence / Secret and Violence), which first appeared in German in 1953 and has appeared in updated editions and in other languages subsequently. War ended in May 1945 and Glaser returned home to France.He became a member of the recently formed Anarchist Federation. He involved himself in the aftermath of the "Sacco and Vanzetti" affair, during the course of which he met fellow activists Giliana Berneri and the leading libertarian André Prudhommeaux. He supported himself by working, briefly, in a sugar factory, and then, till 1949 on the production lines at the Renault Billancourt plant. He later confided that by the end of the 1940s he had concluded that work on the assembly line had become soul-destroying. In 1949 he set up a workshop for copper and silver work in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Left bank quarter of central Paris. In 1968 he moved with his family to the Le Marais quarter, still in central Paris, but no longer part of the "Rive Gauche". In the

 meantime he added the central initial "K." to his full name.Sources differ as to why, but it was probably to honour his recently deceased mother, whose middle name had been "<mask>harina". Despite abandoning the left-wing militancy of his former years, he retained numerous friends among the "Libertaires." The writer
Much of <mask>'s published output was autobiographical. In the early 1930s he was producing proletarian-revolutionary writing, true to Communist Party orthodoxy. During his exile in the middle and later 1930s he became more distant from Communist ideology and returned increasingly to the anarchist principles that had influenced his teenage years. His major work,  "Geheimnis und Gewalt" (Secret et Violence / Secret and Violence), appeared in the early 1950s. It was written in German but was initially accessible only, in translation, to French readers because a German publisher for it could not be found.It received some critical support, but early editions failed to win a wide readership, partly because of the chaotic circumstances surrounding its publication, with early editions crudely edited and marred by typographical errors. Recognition
During the closing years of the twentieth century <mask> <mask> was rediscovered as a writer for a wider audience, and his literary output became relatively mainstream. Since 1998 the "Rhein-Pfalz" Ministry for Education and Culture in the region of his birth has celebrated his literary contribution with the annually awarded <mask>. <mask> Prize. The prize, which is also supported by the powerful regional television operator Südwestrundfunk, is worth €10,000 to the winner. References

Baron <mask>  (23 September 1862 – 21 July 1910), was a Belgian diplomat. As a signatory of the Boxer Protocol, the final act at the Algeciras Conference and the Colonial Charter in which Congo Free State was ceded to Belgium, <mask> was an important Belgian diplomat in the age of New Imperialism. Throughout his career, <mask> was able to gain the absolute confidence of king Leopold II of Belgium and eventually he became one of the monarch's favourite diplomats. Background
<mask> was born in one of the richest and most prominent families of the Belgian city of Antwerp. The wealth and influence of the <mask> family had, according to the legend, their origins in a lucky investment that <mask> had made during the age of Napoleon Bonaparte. He accidentally put an extra '0' on an order and bought 5,000 instead of 500 bales of coffee. Because of inflation during the Continental Blockade he suddenly had a fortune in his hands and was no longer a modest merchant.This story even inspired Hendrik Conscience to fictionalize this anecdote and write the book Eene 0 te veel. The family was subsequently able to rise among the ranks of the Antwerp bourgeoisie and <mask>ens his grandfather Constantin <mask>  became a senator for the Belgian Liberal Party. Besides from the influence and capital of his family <mask> had also other assets to become a diplomat. His trip to Egypt with his influential uncle Arthur Van Den Nest in 1882 and Joostens orientalist report Du Caire au Tropique are for example prime examples of his fascination for foreign countries. In the meantime <mask> had completed his studies at the University of Paris, the

Early career

On 7 December 1885, <mask> filed his request at the Belgian ministry for foreign affairs to become a so-called attaché de légation and this was the start of his diplomatic career.First, he was, from April 1886 until January 1889, the second-class secretary at the legation in Madrid, then headed by Edouard Anspach, the brother of Jules Anspach. In 1889, <mask> made promotion to the legation in Cairo, where he served the Belgian imperial interests of, for example, Édouard Empain and the Tramways d'Alexandrie. Shortly after his displacement to Egypt, <mask> was again promoted. This time he became first-class secretary in the highly ranked legation in London. There he could further develop his diplomatic skills both on the European and the imperial diplomatic theatre. Washington D.C.

As a result of an internal reorganisation in the Belgian diplomatic corps, <mask> was able to further develop his career. The new minister for foreign affairs Paul de Favereau promoted him in 1896 to Washington D.C. where he would be the new conseiller de la légation or advisor of the legation.Under the auspices of Gontran de Lichtervelde <mask> showed remarkable diplomatic skill. In 1898 the Belgian the then prince Albert of Belgium made a visit to the United States  together with his physician L. Melis and Harry Jungbluth. For this

 occasion <mask> was named the diplomatic attaché to this group. This was because of the commercial and imperialist agenda of this voyage, not only was Alberts visit a way for the future king to learn the country better, his uncle Leopold II of Belgium saw in this trip a great opportunity to tighten the Belgian-American relations on the imperialistic scene. By order of Leopold II, <mask> used the allure of the royal visit to attract investors for a Belgian-American cooperation to build the Beijing–Hankou Railway. It was in this context that <mask> had several contacts with the American senator Calvin S. Brice who to Joostens his great regret died during the American-Belgian negotiations. Although he didn't succeed to forge a cooperation between the American China Development Company and the Belgian investments backed by Leopold II, <mask> was able to show his feel for the diplomatic game in this episode and obtain the appreciation of the king.Next to the royal visit of prince Albert and the Beijing-Hankou Railway, the remarkable plan to make the Philippines a Belgian protectorate after the Spanish–American War was a third case in which <mask> was active. The Hague

During his holidays in Belgium recovering from an uninterrupted three years stay in the United States, <mask> was named secretary for the Belgian delegation for the Hague Peace Conference of 1899. This conference was an initiative of the Russian Tsar Nicolas II and is one of the prime examples of pacifism in the eve of the First World War. During this conference <mask> could gain more experience in the field of international relations under the guidance

Arrival

Only fourteen years after his first application at the Belgian ministry of foreign affairs, <mask> was promoted in the winter of 1899 to the rank of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the court of the  Chinese emperor and the king of Siam. When <mask> arrived in Peking to replace baron Carl de Vinck de Deux-Orp, he ended up in the so-called Legation Quarter.This was the diplomatic compound south of the Forbidden City where all the foreign legations were situated and in which there was a very distinctive diplomatic culture with its own practices and rules. In this context, <mask> could rely on a competent team of Belgian lower-ranking diplomats and officials. The most remarkable members of the Belgian legation in this time were, for example, Alphonse Splingaerd, son of the Belgian Mandarin Paul Splingaerd, Leopold Merghelynck, Adrien de Mélotte de Lavaux, who would become director of the Sino-Belgian Bank in Shanghai, and Emile de Cartier de Marchienne, who would become the Belgian ambassador to both China and the United States. Boxer Rebellion and the Siege of the International Legations

Shortly after <mask>' arrival, the Boxer Rebellion, of which the first features showed in the winter of 1899, would reach its peak. This rebellion had anti-foreign, anti-Christian and mystical features and had among other things its origins in a crop failure in 1899, decades of frustrations about the Western presence in

texts: China and the chaos and internal struggles at the Chinese court following the failed Hundred Days' Reform. The wrath of the rebels was first aimed at Chinese Christians but later faced towards the foreign presence in China. Since the Belgians were not unlike the other foreign investments deemed unwanted elements in the Chinese society, the Beijing-Hankou Railway was also attacked and several Belgian engineers, missionaries and officials were killed.During the first quarrels in the streets of the Legation Quarters <mask> was accused of having killed several rebels, but since the Austro-Hungarian government offered to protect the Belgian legation, it is more likely that these soldiers have fired these shots. After the assassination of the German envoy Klemens von Ketteler near the Belgian legation and the refusal of the foreign diplomats to leave the Legation Quarter after Empress Dowager Cixi ordered them to do so, the rebellion reached a turning point. From now on, the Chinese Empire was at war with the foreign countries, and in this context, Joostens had to defend from 13 June until 16 June 1900, together with the other Belgians and the Austro-Hungarian marines, the Belgian legation. Despite their efforts, they were not able to repel the rebels and had to retreat to first the French and later the British legation. In the meantime, the Belgian legation, which was located in an isolated corner in the Legation Quarter, was plundered and set on fire. On 20 June 1901, the rebels sieged, in collaboration with Imperial Chinese Army, the Legation Quarter and with this act the so-called Siege of the International Legations

 was put in place. Shortly after the rebels sieged the Legation Quarter, the foreign powers gathered their forces and formed the Eight-Nation Alliance to crush the rebellion .Leopold II had also been very keen to participate and even privately funded a Belgian Expeditionary Corps but Kaiser Wilhelm II strongly opposed this idea and the king had to give up this plan. Conference of Peking

When Peking was relieved on 14 August 1901 by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Boxer Rebellion came to an end, but this meant by no means the end of instability in China. Nevertheless, both the foreign powers ( France, Germany, Japan, United States, United Kingdom, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Spain) and the pro-foreign officials at the Chinese court such as Li Hongzhang and Yikuang (Prince Qing) wanted to reach a settlement over the Chinese responsibility in the rebellion. The negotiations that took place in this context, between 26 October 1900 and 7 September 1901, are known as the Conference of Peking and they would among other things focus on the indemnities on the one hand and the punishment of the leaders of the rebellion on the other hand. Although Ernest Mason Satow and Alfons Mumm von Schwarzenstein, respectively the British and German envoy, preferred from the start on that only the members of the Eight-Nation Alliance settled these matters, <mask> succeeded to conquer his place at the negotiation table. He was able to do so thanks to his active role since the first meeting on 26 October 1900 and the support of French envoy Stephen Pichon. From then on, <mask> nevertheless was not able to

Although <mask> was not seen as one of the most important envoys present, the lack of cooperation between the different nations offered the possibility to have a certain influence. The Belgian envoy was for example the chairman of the Committee on the Indemnities and inspired by the losses of the Societé d’Étude de chemins de fer en Chine, the Belgian company behind the Beijing-Hankou Railway, he proposed to include also indirect losses of companies and societies in the indemnity claims. Next to that, <mask> also persuaded his colleagues to lower the proposed embargo on the trade and production of arms to a span of only two years and by doing so, he favoured the interests of FN Herstal and the Belgian arms factories in general. The most important contribution of <mask> from a Belgian perspective was his role in the compilation of the Belgian indemnities. Cooperating very closely with Paul de Favereau <mask> was active in almost every aspect of this task. He verified the indemnity claims, he communicated and negotiated with the French envoys  and Stephen Pichon about the indemnities of Beijing-Hankou Railway and questioned the claims of other countries in order to safeguard the payment of the Belgian claims.Other projects in which <mask> was involved were, for example, the plan to invite Zaifeng, Prince Chun for a visit to

 Belgium. Since the prince proposed this visit himself, he accepted the offer but when he was in Germany to convey his regrets to the Kaiser Empress Dowager Cixi became ill and the prince had to cancel the rest of his trip to Europe. <mask> was also very active to claim the right to install the Belgian Legation Guard in Peking. Belgian boots on Chinese soil offered in <mask>' eyes a big potential, but since the Belgian Legation Guard only consisted of about 20 soldiers, the guard can't possibly be seen as the fulfillment of Leopold II his military ambitions in China. Joostens diplomacy during the Conference is at best summarized as an execution of the orders of his minister Paul de Favereau with the addition of personal initiatives within a typical Leopoldistic imperial mindset. Other activities

In the margin of the Conference of Peking, <mask> was also active in other cases. In cooperation with Henri Ketels, the consul in Tientsin, <mask> succeeded to claim a Belgian concession in Tientsin.Despite the failed development of this concession because of a lack of interest from Belgian investors, <mask> succeeded to obtain this parcel despite the criticism of the other powers. Besides from this territorial achievement, <mask> also kept playing his role in the cases of finances and more specifically the indemnities. Even after the signature of the Boxer Protocol, the payment of the indemnities was still an unsolved problem and in this context <mask> tried to convince his government not to found a Belgian bank. In <mask>' opinion the Chinese indemnities for Belgium could also be paid to a foreign bank and subsequently be

 transferred to an already existing Belgian bank in Europe. Nevertheless, the Belgian government did found a Sino-Belgian Bank. A third important aspect of <mask>' diplomacy in China aimed at protecting the Belgian missionaries. Although the Belgian missionaries officially were French citizens as a result of the French Protectorate in China, <mask> repeatedly defended the rights of the missionaries of Belgian origin.He checked reports of attacks on Belgian manned missions and urged the Chinese government to repel the attacks of what used to be Boxer rebels. Finally <mask> also acted as a spokesman of the Belgian imperial lobby. Both in China and Belgium, he promoted several times the Belgian project. On several occasions <mask> highlighted for example the prospects of an investment in China and tried to convince investors and ordinary people to come to China and work in Belgian companies or invest in them. Despite the efforts of <mask> and other Belgian officials the Belgian presence would never be able to match the success of the pre-war era. The Boxer Rebellion had showed that an investment in China could be risky and from 1901 onwards the interest of Belgian investors further diminished. Aftermath

Thanks to fact that <mask> was one of the diplomats who were sieged in the summer of 1900, the Belgian envoy became a prominent and well-known figure not only within diplomatic circles, but also within the public sphere.Whereas stories like these were not available in the European press before, the development of the press as a mass medium throughout the nineteenth century had made possible that the messages concerning


title: Maurice Joostens

texts: the Siege of the International Legations reached big audiences in the western world. Where diplomats were often depicted as lazy, money spoiling and useless bureaucrats, the siege had pointed out the dangers and usefulness of the job. Nevertheless, the coverage of <mask> in Belgian and international press was quite one-sided and although some media covered also the diplomatic work of the Belgian envoy, the main focus was put on his role during the siege. <mask> remarkable performance at the Conference of Peking did not pass unnoticed at the Belgian royal court. In 1904 Leopold II gave <mask> the hereditary title of baron as a final reward for his time in Peking. This focus on his own person enabled <mask> to use this attention to put the Belgian expansion on the agenda of the Belgian economic scene as pointed out before. On the other hand, the attention for <mask> also played a great part in the awareness of the Belgian presence in China and raised the tangibility of the project for a great deal of people who had never heard of the activities of the Belgian missionaries, Belgian investors and Belgian diplomats before.Finally the different receptions, dinners and ceremonies celebrating <mask>' return to Belgium tightened to bonds within the Belgian imperialist lobby. Since diplomats usually hided behind the curtains of diplomacy <mask>' public performance is very noteworthy. Although <mask>' residence in Peking was undoubtedly the most important and notable time in his career, it had also its side-effects. Because of the harsh living conditions in Peking, Joostens unstable health fastly declined and in 1904 an

 emotionally and physically weak <mask> finally got the displacement he had been asking for since 1902. Being appointed as the envoy in Madrid <mask> was for the first time in his career promoted to be the highest-ranking official in a legation of a traditional European power. Since the living conditions in such a wealthy city were far better than in Peking the promotion took Joostens wishes into account. During his stay in Beijing <mask> also supervised the construction of a new Belgian legation building, erected on grounds within the Legation Quarter that were granted to Belgium following the Boxer Protocol (the former building, located outside the Quarter proper, had been demolished during the 1900 siege).The new location was previously occupied by the residence of Xu Tong, Grand Secretary of the Tiren Cabinet, who committed suicide in 1900. The new building, still extant today, was designed by Louis Delacenserie in 1902 and features a Flemish Gothic Revival architecture. Madrid

The first years of <mask>' stay in Spain were characterized by a focus on the improvement of the Belgian-Spanish economic relations. <mask> was for example very active in the preparations of the Spanish pavilion at the world's fair in Liège in 1905. During his Spanish years, <mask> would also be again in the center of the imperialist world theater. Spain was after all an important imperial power and the neighbourhood of Morocco posed both a lot of opportunities and problems. <mask> was first active in the Belgian imperialist penetration of Morocco through the establishment of Belgian companies in the country.Following the First Moroccan

The international meeting was installed to figure out a solution for the German contestation of the growing French and Spanish control over Morocco. Leopold II told <mask> that he was not allowed to gain any profits for Belgium at the conference and <mask> loyally followed these orders. End of career

As showed before <mask> was as a Belgian envoy in Madrid still very active in the imperialist schemes of Leopold II. The king even appointed him during his yearly holidays in Belgium as a member of the diplomatic team that had to negotiate the transfer of Congo Free State to Belgium. After the Congo Free State propaganda war led by Edmund Dene Morel had pointed out the atrocities in the king's private country in Africa,  Leopold II could no longer resist or repel the criticism and he prepared to hand the Congo over to the Belgian state. In this context <mask> was one of the architects of the Colonial Charter that settled this matter.<mask>' role in this transition from a royal Belgian colonial empire towards a Belgian state-led colonialism would be his last achievement of importance. In his last years in the legation in Madrid, <mask>' health would further decline. When on a leave to recover in Belgium in 1910, <mask> died on 21 July, Belgium's national holiday, suffering from a heart stroke despite the fact that his sister Alice had been taking care of him for several weeks.

<mask> is a universal opita, creator of a country where everyone, starting with the towel carriers and rifles on their shoulders, should go live, because there, as in the musical world of Macondo, it makes you want to sing "when the words they become aware of non-being in the presence of so many ghosts invisible ". There in Schuaima, the planet country of the Neivan poet, one can sip with the nose curled by the wind the smell of "the skirts invaded with geraniums" of the girls who inhabit it and who, like all its inhabitants, have "very heart close to the nose "and whose language makes it possible" to converse with the heights, with the acorns, with the wind in its state of purity, with the cosmos in its millenary harmony.

Aniquirona: poetry, affluent towards mystery, deity of sounds and language, which can be transmuted into a woman, into magic or into the fire of things, but which will be, essentially, a song of nature. What river to wade, then, to reach the shore, to the transcendent?Travel with the poet through the forests "of winds and honeysuckle" and "very old chestnut trees", join in "the ceremony of flowers" and woo the light "in the breath of the air". Letting "the continuous voice of the rain" hit the road forever and abandon man in "the sap of the trees", in the ancestral shadow of poetry. Daniuska Gonzalez

<mask> (born September 9, 1986) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman who is currently playing for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He previously played for the Arizona Coyotes, New York Rangers and Florida Panthers. <mask> was drafted by the Coyotes in the fourth round, 105th overall, at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. <mask> quickly established himself as a premier offensive defenseman, leading the Coyotes in points in both the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons. He is currently the NHL ironman with the most consecutive games, becoming the third player ever to record 900 consecutive games played during the 2020–21 season. <mask> passed Doug Jarvis's streak as the longest in NHL history on January 25, 2022 after playing his 965th consecutive game

Early life
<mask> was born on September 9, 1986, in Boston, Massachusetts. Both of his parents worked long hours for FedEx in order to provide for their three children: while his father Bud drove trucks for the company, his mother Patti, who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for most of her adult life, served as a dispatcher.Although his father also worked as a local youth hockey coach in Milton, Massachusetts, <mask> was not a full-time ice hockey player in his childhood. He was instead a multi-sport athlete, playing hockey, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, and American football, depending on what was in season. During hockey season, <mask> was often overlooked on All-Star teams and by scouts, who were focused on the flashier Boston-area defenseman, Dan McGoff of nearby Charlestown. While McGoff never reached the National Hockey League (NHL), <mask> was inspired by him and used their rivalry to improve his own skills. In 2000, <mask> played in the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from the South Shore region of Massachusetts. From there, he began playing high school hockey for Milton High School, taking the Wildcats to an 18–2 win–loss record. After one year there, he chose to enroll at Cushing Academy, a

 college-preparatory school in Ashburnham, Massachusetts, and to focus solely on hockey.During his junior season in 2003–04, <mask> scored 14 goals and 48 assists for Cushing; as a senior the following year, he added an additional 14 goals and 40 assists in 34 games, and was named an All-New England First Team selection. Playing career

Amateur
<mask> originally intended to play college ice hockey for the University of New Hampshire, where his older brother Brian was already playing, but he struggled academically throughout high school and was denied admittance. After his plans to attend New Hampshire fell through, <mask> instead offered a verbal commitment to attend the University of Maine instead. Ultimately, however, he chose to forego college entirely in order to sign with the Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), believing that a year of junior ice hockey was the fastest option to turn professional. Playing alongside future NHL standouts Brad Marchand and Jason Demers, <mask> scored 25 goals and 59 points, the highest of any Moncton defenseman in history. As a team, the Wildcats had a 52–15–0–3 record, leading to a franchise-high 107 points. After winning the President's Cup as QMJHL champions, they advanced to the Memorial Cup, where they fell in the finals to the Quebec Ramparts.At the end of the year, <mask> won both the Emile Bouchard Trophy for the top defenseman in the QMJHL and the Telus Cup for the best defensive player in the league, and he was a QMJHL First All-Star Team selection. The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) also named <mask> their Defenseman of the Year, and he was part of that year's CHL First All-Star Team. Professional

Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes (2006–2015)

Drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the fourth round, 105th overall, in 2005, <mask> made his NHL debut on October 11, 2006, against the Detroit Red Wings, logging 20 minutes of ice time in the game. In the 2007–08 season, he participated in the American Hockey League All-Star Game as a member of the PlanetUSA team. In his first

 Stanley Cup playoff game, on April 14, 2010, <mask> scored the first goal for Phoenix against Detroit to tie the game at 1–1. He would later add an assist and be named one of the game's three stars. <mask> was named to the 2011 NHL All-Star Game as a replacement for the Atlanta Thrashers' Tobias Enström.Shortly after free agency began on July 1, 2011, <mask> signed a five-year contract extension with the Coyotes worth $26.25 million. He played an integral role in the Coyotes' push in the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs that saw them face the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Final, contributing nine points during their run. On November 12, 2014, he played his 400th consecutive game with the team. He ranks second all-time on the franchise's longest consecutive games played list, behind only Dale Hawerchuk (475). New York Rangers (2015–2016)
On March 1, 2015, <mask> was part of a massive trade between the Coyotes and the New York Rangers: New York acquired <mask>, Chris Summers, and a fourth-round selection in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, while Arizona received John Moore, prospect Anthony Duclair, and two draft picks. Rangers general manager Glen Sather had apparently been trying to acquire <mask> for years, but could not afford him under the strict NHL salary cap; as part of the 2015 trade, the Coyotes agreed to retain half of <mask>'s salary, allowing the Rangers to fit him into their roster. <mask> had a difficult start with the new team, recording only one point in his first ten games, but soon entered a hot streak beginning with a three-assist game against the Anaheim Ducks on March 22.By April 5, the Rangers registered their 50th win of the season, and <mask> had eight points in as many games. He finished the season with 11 points in 21 games, and managed to contribute another 11 points in 19 playoff games before the Rangers were eliminated by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals. After the Rangers' playoff run came to an end, <mask> revealed that he had suffered a sprained acromioclavicular joint

Shortly before the start of the  season, <mask> said that his shoulder had fully recovered without surgery and that he was ready to take an active role on the Rangers' power play unit. He opened the season on the second defensive pair alongside Dan Girardi, who had also suffered a major injury during the playoffs. By December, however, he had found a strong rhythm with Dylan McIlrath, a far more defensively-minded skater who could balance <mask>'s offensive-oriented style of play. Most of the conversation around <mask> during the 2015–16 season surrounded whether or not he would be traded again: an unrestricted free agent following the year, <mask> led the team with 21 assists halfway through the season but would also be expensive to retain.When Ryan McDonagh was taken out of the lineup that February with an injury, <mask> received the bulk of his playing time, and in that span, the Rangers were 7–1–1. <mask> also became a force on the power play after McDonagh's injury: the Rangers had a 2 percent success rate on the power play from December 28 to February 10, which was bumped to 18.8 percent from February 10 to March 24. In his first full season with the Rangers, <mask> scored 47 points, including a team-leading 42 assists and 22 power play points.

title: Karl Heinrich Seibt

texts:
<mask> (21 March 1735 – 2 April 1806) was a pioneering German catholic theologian and teacher. Life
<mask> was born in Mariental (Oberlausitz), a long-established settlement on the banks of the Neisse river at the northern frontier of Bohemia, which at that time (and by many criteria till 1945) was culturally and linguistically German. At the time of his birth his father was a "Klostersekretär" (monastery administrator) working for the monastery around which the little village clustered, and at which, according to some sources, <mask> was born. He received his first formal education the monastery, before moving on for an education in "the humanities" at the Piarist Gymnasium (secondary school) run by the monks at Kosmanos a short distance to the south of his home village. It was probably in 1751 that he entered Prague University where between 1751 and 1753 the focus of his studies was on Philosophy. Between 1753 and 1756 he concentrated on the study of Jurisprudence. According to one source it was because he was troubled by the extent to which Prague University was dominated by Jesuits that in 1756 he switched to Leipzig University, now studying (again) Philosophy and Philology (German, French and English).At Leipzig <mask> studied History, Philosophy and Aesthetics. He was powerfully influenced by two leading representatives of the German enlightenment; the poet-rhetorician Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715-1769) and the (at the time) widely revered

texts: Prussian rival. <mask> was one of the first at Prague University to deliver his lectures in German (rather than simply in Latin), and he also saw to it that students became familiar with (at the time) revolutionary ideas coming out of France, England and Scotland. He introduced them to the works and ideas of Pope, Gottsched, Gellert, Shakespeare and Charles Rollin, along with contemporaries such as David Hume and Charles Batteux.One of <mask>'s first known published works, which appeared in 1765, was a funeral oration celebrating Francis I, who died in August of that year. The 1773 suppression of the Jesuits by the pope took effect relatively promptly in the Habsburg lands and removed a hitherto important source of conservative resistance to enlightenment secularism in the world of catholic education. In 1775 <mask> <mask> took over the directorship of the Philosophy faculty at the university, also becoming director of no fewer than three secondary schools ("Gymnasia") in the city. In January 1783, <mask> was elected to serve a term as university rector. In the end - unusually - he served a double (two year) term. In 1785 he took over a full professorship in Theology and Philosophy, while surrendering his professorship embracing Ethics and Classical Literature which was taken on by August Gottlieb Meißner, the first Protestant to take a teaching post at the university for nearly 150 years. In 1796 <mask> took over as Dean of the Philosophy Faculty.In

He retired from his professorship and other appointments in 1801, the importance of his contribution to the development of teaching at the university widely acknowledged by colleagues. He remained in Prague, and died there on 2 April 1806. Legacy
Grimm identifies <mask> as one of the most important and influential thinkers under the Habsburg Monarchy of the Enlightened absolutism period. By refusing to conduct his lectures in Latin he greatly stimulated the arts and culture in Prague. Seibt exercised a strong influence on the successor generation of academics and philosophers in Bohemia, including Josef Dobrovský.By the end of the nineteenth century the abandonment of Latin as a universal language for the multi-ethnic Habsburg lands was leading not to its replacement with German but to the increased application of a series of regional languages such as (in Bohemia) Czech, and across the border to the north various Sorbian dialects.

Carol Hedges (born 22 December 1945) who was known professionally as <mask>, is an English singer who had hits in the 1960s, and is best remembered for the UK hit version of the song, "Tell Him" (1963) and "I Want You to Be My Baby" (1968). Early career
She was born in Woking, Surrey, England. <mask>' performing name was suggested by the impresario, Robert Stigwood, and was derived from those of blues singer <mask> and the entertainer <mask>. In her teens, Hedges was an engineering secretary before she started her recording career. After winning a talent contest in which she was backed by Cliff Bennett's band, the Rebel Rousers, she cut some early demo records with the Tornados for record producer Joe Meek. However, her first commercial success, under Stigwood's guidance, was "Will I What", released in August 1962, on which she performed as a foil to Mike Sarne, rather as Wendy Richard had done on Sarne's chart-topping disc, "Come Outside". This reached number 18 in the UK Singles Chart in September 1962.In February 1963 <mask> had her biggest success with a cover version of The Exciters' "Tell Him". Written by Bert Russell (also known as Bert Berns), this song was covered in the sixties by a number of artists, including Helen Shapiro and Alma Cogan, and was successfully revived in the late 1990s by Vonda Shepard, for the American Fox television program, Ally McBeal. <mask>' recording reached number ten in the UK chart, and was followed by "He's The One", which crept into the Top 40 in May 1963.

 the rise of The Beatles, <mask> left Decca records owing to financial disagreements. In September of that year she suffered a broken jaw when a chauffeur-driven limousine in which she and Jet Harris, former bass guitarist of the Shadows, were returning from a concert in Worcester, crashed in the West Midlands. Harris received head injuries that seriously affected his already troubled career. The reporting in the press of a relationship with Harris, an unhappily married man, earned <mask>, still only 17, some unwelcome publicity at a difficult time and may have been one of the factors which held back her career.In an interview included in the liner notes of the 2007 compilation CD Whatcha Gonna Do? (RPM 326), <mask> acknowledged the scandal, but also placed blame for the "lost momentum" on being unable to record for four months due to having her jaw wired shut after the accident. <mask> was an early proponent of many of the fashion styles for which the 1960s are remembered: bobbed hair, long boots of the kind popularised by Honor Blackman in early episodes of The Avengers, and leather mini-skirts. She was said to have beaten the latter for "percussive effect" when recording. The biographer of the "supergroup" Cream described her as "astonishingly photogenic". Later career
In 1966, <mask> paired with Keith Powell (Keith Powell and the Valets) as "Keith (Powell) and <mask> (<mask>)" under the Piccadilly record label. They released three singles including "Swingin' Tight", which while popular did not make the chart and the short lived pairing was dissolved.In the

Recordings included Chip Taylor's "Angel of the Morning", in 1967, on which she was backed by, amongst others, Kiki Dee and P. P. Arnold. Arnold later recorded the song herself and had the bigger hit in 1968. <mask>' final chart entry was a Northern soul version of Jon Hendricks' "I Want You to Be My Baby", originally recorded by Louis Jordan in 1952, which reached number 33 in October 1968, although sales were affected by an industrial dispute at the manufacturing plant. <mask> left Decca in April 1971 after a stay of eight years. She continued to record into the 1980s and was popular, in particular, with audiences in the Spanish-speaking world.Her cover of Burt Bacharach's "The Last One to Be Loved" appeared on the compilation album Trains & Boats & Covers (1999). A retrospective collection of her recordings for Decca was released in 2005. In 2006, she was re-united with Jet Harris for a series for concerts. Personal life

(17 August 1896 – 13 July 1970) was a United States Army Corps of Engineers officer who oversaw the construction of the Pentagon and directed the Manhattan Project, a top secret research project that developed the atomic bomb during World War II. The son of a U.S. Army chaplain, Groves lived at various Army posts during his childhood. In 1918, he graduated fourth in his class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned into the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In 1929, he went to Nicaragua as part of an expedition to conduct a survey for the Inter-Oceanic Nicaragua Canal. Following the 1931 earthquake, Groves took over Managua's water supply system, for which he was awarded the Nicaraguan Presidential Medal of Merit. He attended the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1935 and 1936; and the Army War College in 1938 and 1939, after which he was posted to the War Department General Staff. Groves developed "a reputation as a doer, a driver, and a stickler for duty" and in 1940 he became special assistant for construction to the Quartermaster General, tasked with inspecting construction sites and checking on their progress.In August 1941, he was appointed to create the gigantic office complex for the War Department's 40,000 staff that would ultimately become the Pentagon. In September 1942, <mask> took charge of the Manhattan Project. He was involved in most aspects of the atomic bomb's development: he participated in the selection of sites for research and production at Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Los Alamos, New Mexico; and Hanford, Washington. He directed the enormous construction effort, made critical decisions on the

 various methods of isotope separation, acquired raw materials, directed the collection of military intelligence on the German nuclear energy project and helped select the cities in Japan that were chosen as targets. Groves wrapped the Manhattan Project in security, but spies working within the project were able to pass some of its most important secrets to the Soviet Union. After the war, <mask> remained in charge of the Manhattan Project until responsibility for nuclear weapons production was handed over to the United States Atomic Energy Commission in 1947. He then headed the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, which had been created to control the military aspects of nuclear weapons.He was given a dressing down by the Army Chief of Staff, General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, and told that he would never be appointed Chief of Engineers. Three days later, <mask> announced his intention to leave the Army. He was promoted to lieutenant general just before his retirement on 29 February 1948 in recognition of his leadership of the bomb program. By a special Act of Congress, his date of rank was backdated to 16 July 1945, the date of the Trinity nuclear test. He went on to become a vice-president at Sperry Rand. Early life
<mask> <mask> Jr. was born in Albany, New York, on 17 August 1896, the third son of four children of a pastor, <mask> <mask> Sr., and his wife Gwen née Griffith. He was half Welsh and half English, with some French Huguenot ancestors who came to the United States in the 17th century.<mask> Sr. resigned as pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian church in Albany in December 1896 to become a United States Army chaplain. He was posted to the 14th Infantry at Vancouver Barracks

On returning to Vancouver Barracks, he was ordered to rejoin the 14th Infantry in the Philippines; service in the Philippine–American War and the Boxer Rebellion followed. The 14th Infantry returned to the United States in 1901 and moved to Fort Snelling, Minnesota. The family relocated to there from Vancouver, then moved to Fort Hancock, New Jersey, and returned to Vancouver in 1905. Chaplain <mask> was hospitalized with tuberculosis at Fort Bayard in 1905.He decided to settle in southern California and bought a house in Altadena. His next posting was to Fort Apache, Arizona. The family spent their summers there and returned to Altadena where the children attended school. In 1911, Chaplain <mask> was ordered to return to the 14th Infantry, which was now stationed at Fort William Henry Harrison, Montana. At Fort Harrison, Groves met Grace (Boo) Wilson, the daughter of Colonel Richard Hulbert Wilson, a career Army officer who had served with Chaplain <mask> during the 8th Infantry's posting to Cuba. In 1913, the 14th Infantry moved once more, this time to Fort Lawton in Seattle, Washington. Groves entered Queen Anne High School in 1913, and graduated in 1914.While completing high school, Groves also enrolled in courses at the University of Washington, in anticipation of attempting to gain an appointment to the United States Military Academy.

Groves was promoted to major on 1 July 1940. Three weeks later, he became special assistant for construction to the Quartermaster General, Major General Edmund B. Gregory. The two men had known each other a long time, as Groves' father was a close friend of Gregory's.At this point, the US Army was about to embark on a national mobilization, and it was the task of the Construction Division of the Quartermaster Corps to prepare the necessary accommodations and training facilities for the vast army that would be created. The enormous construction program had been dogged by bottlenecks, shortages, delays, spiralling costs, and poor living conditions at the construction sites. Newspapers began publishing accounts charging the Construction Division with incompetence,

texts: the bomb could be designed and tested. Groves was impressed with the breadth of Oppenheimer's knowledge. A long conversation on a train in October 1942 convinced Groves and his deputy Kenneth Nichols that Oppenheimer thoroughly understood the issues involved in setting up a laboratory in a remote area.These were features that Groves found lacking in other scientists, and he knew that broad knowledge would be vital in an interdisciplinary project that would involve not just physics, but chemistry, metallurgy, ordnance, and engineering. In October 1942 <mask> and Oppenheimer inspected sites in New Mexico, where they selected a suitable location for the laboratory at Los Alamos. Unlike Oak Ridge, the ranch school at Los Alamos, along with  of surrounding forest and grazing land, was soon acquired. Groves also detected in Oppenheimer something that many others did not, an "overweening ambition" which Groves reckoned would supply the drive necessary to push the project to a successful conclusion. Groves became convinced that Oppenheimer was the best and only man to run the laboratory. Few agreed with him in 1942. Oppenheimer had little administrative experience and, unlike other potential candidates, no Nobel Prize.There was also concern about whether Oppenheimer was a security risk, as many of his associates were communists, including his brother Frank Oppenheimer, his wife Kitty, and his girlfriend Jean Tatlock. Oppenheimer's Communist Party connections soon came to light, but Groves personally waived the security requirements and issued Oppenheimer a clearance on 20 July 1943. Groves' faith in Oppenheimer was ultimately justified. Oppenheimer's inspirational leadership fostered practical

 approaches to designing and building bombs. Asked years later why Groves chose him, Oppenheimer replied that the general "had a fatal weakness for good men." Isidor Rabi considered the appointment "a real stroke of genius on the part of General <mask>, who was not generally considered to be a genius ..."

Groves made critical decisions on prioritizing the various methods of isotope separation and acquiring raw materials needed by the scientists and engineers. By the time he assumed command of the project, it was evident that the AA-3 priority rating that Marshall had obtained was insufficient.The top ratings were AA-1 through AA-4 in descending order, although there was also a special AAA rating reserved for emergencies. Ratings AA-1 and AA-2 were for essential weapons and equipment, so Colonel Lucius D. Clay, the deputy chief of staff at Services and Supply for requirements and resources, felt that the highest rating he could assign was AA-3, although he was willing to provide an AAA rating on request for critical materials to remove bottlenecks. Groves went to Donald M. Nelson, the chairman of the War Production Board and, after threatening to take the matter to the President, obtained a AAA priority for the Manhattan project. It was agreed that the AA-3 priority would still be used where possible. The Combined Development Trust was established by the governments of the United Kingdom, United States and Canada in June 1944, with Groves as its chairman, to procure uranium and thorium ores on international markets. In 1944, the trust purchased  of uranium oxide ore from companies operating mines in the Belgian Congo. In order to avoid briefing Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. on the
