McMein was the lead designer at the large millinery firm. She turned to commercial art after a brief stint as an actress in Paul Armstrong's plays. She adopted the name on the advice of a numerologist.John Baragwanath said that his wife chose the name Neysa after meeting one of Homer Davenport's fillies. McMein thought that the name Neysa had a commercial value over her birth name. McMein attended the Art Students League of New York. McMein's first drawing was sold to the Boston Star. She created a portrait of Harry Horowitz before he was executed. She sold an illustration for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post and her Misinformation illustration appeared on the cover of Puck magazine in 1915. She was known for her portrayal of "All American Girls".McMein made posters for the governments of France and the United States during World War I. The American Red Cross used her posters in its fund-raising campaigns. She entertained the troops in France in 1918. During her time at the Western Front, McMein said she wouldn't be frightened by anything. It is impossible to imagine the terror of air raids. They are heralded by the sound of sirens and the ringing of church bells and then suddenly come the bombs, falling no one knows where. The noise they made was worse than the battles.McMein made portraits of some of the soldiers, drew cartoons, and colored the Indian head insignia that was used by the 93rd Bomb Squadron to indicate the number of German planes that a given plane shot down by drawing a German black cross over one of the bear teeth. After her father died, she returned to the US to care for her mother. She spoke at two fund-raising drives. The main attraction was McMein. The theater was full. According to Sarah Carney, she was an excellent speaker. McMein was one of only three women to be so honored for her support of the U.S. war effort.By 1919, her illustrations were on the covers and inside articles of McClure's magazine. <mask> and Willcox Smith were two of the major women magazine illustrators of their time. They created hundreds of covers for magazines. During the 1920s and 1930s, both women and Norman Rockwell portrayed women in covers and illustrations as mothers, with scenes centered around children, according to an article written by Joseph Bernt. The illustrations on the covers of the magazine were made to sell consumer products. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, woman's suffrage and the New Woman were depicted in publications, which led to increased emphasis on family life in mass media. Carolyn Kitch found that <mask> created illustrations of confident, modern New Women for her magazine covers, while Wilcox Smith focused more on children.McMein created all of the covers. She provided work for National Geographic, Woman's Home Companion, and Photoplay. McMein earned up to $2,500 per illustration. Cadillac, Lucky Strike cigarettes and Palmolive soap were all created by her. McMein was part of the jury that found Clara Bow in the "Fame and Fortune" contest. The Coney Island beauty contests are one of the promotional activities. Three examples of silk textiles designed by McMein are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.She consulted with Studebaker's design department with five other women. The image of Betty Crocker was created by General Mills. She combined features of the home economists employed by the company to create an official portrait of Betty Crocker. The image of the "ageless" Betty was used in advertising and on packaging until 1955, when she wore bright red and white clothing. Like the Betty Crocker image, <mask> was a kind of American demigoddess: the most courted of commercial artists, hostess in her New York studio to all of the 'Algonquin wits'. James Gray is the author of Business Without Boundary: The Story of General Mills. McMein and Guggenheim created a comic strip called "Deathless Deer" in 1943.The strip starred an Egyptian princess who wakes up in New York City. Guggenheim's writing suffered with the format because he was unfamiliar with comic strip drafting and conventions. The strip was discontinued in 1943 due to being a critical failure. <mask>'s contract to produce illustrations for the magazine was not renewed in April of 1938. Magazines could use four-color machines to publish color photographs. At first, McMein used pastels to depict some of his subjects. She painted portraits of many people, including presidents Herbert Hoover and Warren G. Harding.McMein also painted Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. She was a mentor to Lee Miller. McMein was entertaining the troops when her father died. She moved her mother to New York to live with her. She supported women's political, sexual, and economic rights. McMein walked in suffragist parades, traveled overseas extensively, and rode in Count Zeppelin's dirigible by 1920. She rode across the desert with a woman journalist and was proposed to by an Arab sheik.<mask> had written an opera by that time. McMein was one of the first to join the Lucy Stone League, an organization that fought for women to keep their birth names after marriage. After the end of the war, McMein became a regular member of the Algonquin Round Table set. The studio on West 57th Street in New York City became an "outpost" to the Algonquin Hotel, which appealed to the "Bohemian" nature of its members. As her guests enjoyed lively discussions and piano playing, she was prone to work in her smock at the easel. What'll I Do at McMein's piano was composed by Berlin during a Round Table party. The cover illustration of Berlin's biography was provided by McMein.Cole Porter, George Gershwin, H.G., and Walt Disney are some of the famous people. George Bernard Shaw and Wells were friends. <mask> rented an apartment in the same building with the woman who moved in with him in 1920. McMein's mother died in 1923. McMein married John G. Baragwanath, a mining engineer and author, the same year. Baragwanth was interested in the woman playing the piano and the people dancing and singing around her. Joan was a daughter of <mask> and Baragwanath.Their marriage was open and there were exceptions. Howard Dietz, the lyricist and publicist, said in his memoirs that on one occasion, when <mask> noticed that her model for the day was impatient to leave, she asked: "Have you got a heavy date?" "Yes, with a great guy, Jack Baragwanath." Alexander Woollcott said that "we now call <mask>'s place in Port Washington the Abbottoir" because she was involved with the Broadway director George Abbott. She had affairs with several people, including Robert Benchley, who lived near her cottage in Port Washington. During this time, men were for the first time demanding to live the forbidden experience directly and draw conclusions on this basis. McMein lived a varied life.She had a life as an artist that included riding on the back of an elephant in a parade, taking a swim, and enjoying parties. She hosted parties for adults to play games with celebrities. Bing Crosby, Anne Shirley, Robert Young, and Bennett Cerf were some of the guests who engaged in games called "The Game" that were sometimes attributed to McMein. The spelling game, where each person on a team wore a sign with one letter and played against another team so see who could arrange themselves the fastest in the proper order to spell a word, was played at her parties. McMein's games were featured in a Life magazine article. McMein entertained at the house she bought with Baragwanath on the North Shore of Long Island. She broke her back in 1942 during a sleepwalking episode.McMein had to have part of her hip replaced. Death McMein died of cancer in New York City in 1949 and was survived by his daughter and husband. The Whitney Museum of American Art was bequeathed money by McMein in her will. None of the 72 purchases the museum bought were McMein's works. Her illustrations were not considered art. McMein was a member of the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame. The United States Post Office released a 20-stamp collection in 2001 based on works created by 20 Society of Illustrators' artists, including McMein.The library of congress is one of the thousand Y.M.C.A.

At the beginning of World War II, he was evacuated to the city of UFA. Rapoport's drawing studies began during a time of extreme loneliness, cold, hunger and deprivation.<mask> lived in a city with a certain European flair after the war. He found his first art teacher at the House of Folk Arts, a former member of the nonconformist artist groups Union of the Youth and Donkey's Tail. I. Beklemisheva was his art teacher. <mask>'s talent Impressed by <mask>'s talent, she later (1950) organized his move to Leningrad, where he entered the famous V.Serov School of Art. He was a student at this school for eight years before becoming a teacher. With "Socialist realism" the only official style during this time, most of the art school's faculty had to hide their previous involvement in non-conformist art movements. The students were introduced to Constructivism through covert means.An appreciation for Italian Renaissance art was emphasized by the school. <mask> spent hours at the Hermitage Museum, copying paintings of the Old Masters, and studying art at public libraries. <mask>'s generation was interested in contemporary art. There were exhibitions of French Impressionists and modern art from other European countries. A powerful source of ideas came from this new freedom. The military draft interrupted his last year in school. He continued to draw and paint while stationed in the Jewish Oblast, where he created a series of sketches depicting scenes of a soldier's everyday life and created an oil painting called The Taking of a Hill.<mask> returned to the Serov School of Art after his military service. He was stigmatized as a formalist after he finished his degree work, Laying the Wreaths on the Field of Mars. <mask> studied stage design at the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinema under the supervision of the famous artist and stage director N.P.Akimov. Akimov encouraged his graduate students to apply their knowledge to every field of art design, while teaching a unique course based on theories of Russian Suprematism and Constructivism. <mask> was influenced by Akimov's personality and liberalism, as well as the logical style of his art, despite differences in personal artistic taste. <mask> graduated from the institute in 1963. The stage and costume design for Sunset was designed by him.He traveled to the southwest regions of the Soviet Union to collect objects of Jewish iconography. He was looking for Babel's characters and the atmosphere of his books. Ancient Mediterranean and Byzantine art forms are what <mask> considered to be his roots. He was influenced by Juri Lotman's school of structural semiotics. <mask> was studying Byzantine art and icons. While in Russia, he focused on the works of the Russian Orthodox priest Father Pavel Florensky and the art historian Lev Zhegin. <mask>'s life was full of a variety of activities, but his most important goal was to combine official art with his own creative ideas.The town of Volkhov has a theater and Houses of Culture. The Good Woman from Szechuan and Fear and Misery of the Third Reich, The Queen of Spades, Brandon Thomas's Charley's Aunt and V.Ivanov's Armored Train 14-69 were some of the plays he made sketches for. <mask> was an artist's assistant at "Lenfilm", as well as a book designer and illustrator for various publishing houses. His greatest satisfaction was teaching composition, design and human anatomy at the Serov Art School. Lotman's theory of semiotics was one of the topics introduced to his students in the new liberal course. <mask> was fired for "ideological conspiracy" because of his radicalism. <mask> used his energy to create his own work.His main projects were related to Anti-Semitism, biblical themes and everyday life. He wanted to become a Jewish artist. After the Six-Day War, the Jewish intelligentsia felt a heightened interest in Jewish culture and its biblical roots. <mask>'s works of this period include Three Figures, a series of images of Talmudic Scholars, and works dealing with anti-Semitism. <mask> joined the non-conformist movement in the 70s because they opposed the "Socialist realism" in art. Russian iconography and the Constructivist/Suprematist style of the 1910s were preserved by the movement. Despite the persecution of nonconformist artists by the authorities, they united in a group.TEV's exhibitions were very successful. <mask> was one of the founding members of the Union of Leningrad's Jewish Artists. The group was known as "Twelve from the Soviet Underground" in the United States. <mask>'s involvement with this group resulted in increased tension with the authorities and attracted the attention of the KGB. He was living and working in the USSR. <mask> and his family were forced to leave Russia. The family traveled through Austria and Italy before moving to the U.S.They lived in Italy for half a year. <mask> enjoyed his exposure to Italian culture and art despite missing Russia. His mind and creative work were inspired by the environment. <mask> exhibited "La Nuova Arte Sovietica-Una prospettiva non-ufficiale" in Italy in 1977 and created lithographic works continuing his theme of Jewish characters. <mask>'s family was granted U.S. immigration status in 1977. <mask> traveled to many American cities as a representative of the "ALEF" group, known in U.S. as "12 from the Soviet Underground," accompanying exhibitions of these artists and lecturing. <mask> was raised in the Soviet environment.His first creation of religious artwork was a result of an encounter with the New Testament at age 16. <mask>'s art began to feature images of the biblical prophets in the 1960s. The stories of the Old and New Testaments, the art of Russian icons, and Russian religious philosophers were some of the sources of inspiration. <mask> had a special regard for Father Florensky. <mask>'s painting Short Life of Euphrosynos the Cook was dedicated to the memory of Florensky, who died in a Gulag in 1944. <mask> was employed as a draftsman-designer of stage equipment for almost nine years. He was overwhelmed by a sense of freedom in his new life, but soon realized that it was limited to the narrow views of artists who followed the demands of the market.He found it difficult to fit into the American contemporary art mainstream, which was devoid of any spirituality or artistic merit. The 1980s were a time of creativity and significant life events. He sold his paintings in auctions in Europe and the U.S., illustrated Erotic Tales of Old Russia, and traveled to European countries. A visit to Spain made a profound impression on him, showing a sense of personal connection, even blood ties, with the art and culture of the country of El Greco. <mask> was inspired by his experiences in Spain. <mask> met Michael Dunev, who became his friend and representative, organizing all his exhibitions until the artist's death. <mask> tried to bridge the gap between his art and the Americans in his new paintings, Images of San Francisco.<mask> concentrated on interior and spiritual subjects while in Russia, but in San Francisco he diversified his art with new sources. He valued the city's international flavor, theatrical and dramatical image, phantasmal ocean-accented light and geographical structure, capturing these qualities with his characteristic forced spherical perspectives and expressionistic coloration. The second major body of subjects in <mask>'s art were images of San Francisco. <mask> was attracted to the idea of "brotherhood" and artists "guild" at the same time, but he missed the sense of fellowship while in the U.S. He organized the group "SPSF" in 1992. Two artists and two photographers from St. Petersburg wound up in San Francisco. The four had absorbed the new San Francisco environment and were heirs of the great St. Petersburg cultural tradition.The exhibitions were well received by Russians and Americans. <mask> was able to devote himself completely to his work in 1987. His technical skills became fully developed as his works increased in emotional impact. At the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s, <mask> completed his most ambitious works on the theme of the Old Testament prophets: Angel and Prophets. The first exhibition of the artist's works there since his departure into exile took place in 1992. This exhibition was held in the City Museum of St. Rapoport's painting Self-portrait as a Mask of Mordecai was included in the exhibitions and was his first visit to Russia since 1976.<mask> protested loudly and openly. He protested against the rigidity of the system of teaching, against the communist ideology and against the suppression of religious art in Russia. He was involved in the creation of the dissident art groups. He was forced to emigrate because of this. <mask> protested against commercialism in art, against the dominance of ideas of market over ideas of spirit, against the crushing of religious art by public indifference, and against the loss of Judeo-Christian values. "In search of these values, I turn to the Old Masters from the Mediterranean region, where at the very beginning of Western Civilization, the art of pictorial image was born, art in which both the Divine Spirit and the Human Being served as the measure for all things." <mask>'s cry was "loud and bitter".<mask>'s last five years were spent in voluntary seclusion. He had to endure emigration. He quoted from the letters of Drer, an artist who saw himself as born in the wrong place and time. <mask> focused on his own world. He didn't work for the sake of art, but because art gave him the means to express himself. He wanted to reach the core and heart of the image, as well as his inner desire to attain the ideal. He started an association with CIVA in 1995 and participated in the group's exhibitions and conferences.While continuing his Images of San Francisco series, he produced more expressionistic paintings on religious themes. His works became more spiritual. The art critic V.Baranovsky said that the paintings remind him of the coals of Old Russian icons. The artist almost never left his studio by the year 1996. The painting was his most personal work. On February 4, 1997, <mask> died suddenly in his studio while working on his new painting Trinity.

title: Julius Schniewind

texts: <mask> was a German evangelical theologian. He came to prominence in the 1930s as a leader of the Confessing Church, which was seen as a movement within German Protestantism that arose during the Nazi years in opposition to government-sponsored efforts to unify all Protestant churches into a single pro. <mask> was born in Elberfeld, a town in the Ruhr region which had emerged during the nineteenth century as a major centre for the textiles industry, and which has subsequently been subsumed into Wuppertal. His father was a partner in the Elbersfeld-based firm "H. E. Schniewind" and worked in the silk business. His grandfather was a partner in the family firm and a member of the local business community. His mother was a daughter of a banker originally from Friedrich. The spirit of religious piety within the family shaped his childhood.He studied Lutheran Theology at Bonn, Halle, Berlin and Marburg between 1901 and 1906 after attending the "grammar school" in Elberfeld. His teachers were Paul Feine, Karl Heim, and Friedrich Loofs. According to one major source, he was the most significant of the students of Martin Khler. He received his Licentiate at Halle in 1910 for his work on the writings and preaching of Paul the Apostle. He taught New Testament studies at Halle until 1914. He received a degree in habilitation for his work on parallel pericopes. <mask> became a volunteer field chaplain during the First World War, which interrupted his academic progress.He received the Iron Cross 2nd Class. My name is Klasse. <mask> married Anna Alice Wanda Eveline Countess of Keyserling at Elberfeld on 7 May 1919. His bride was from Courland. The couple's two sons were born after the marriage. Schniewind became a regular extraordinary professorship with a full teaching contract in 1921 after being appointed to a provisional extraordinary professorship in 1919. He received a doctorate in theology from the university.He was appointed to the teaching chair in New Testament studies the next year. He moved to the extreme north of the country in 1927 after receiving a full professorship in New Testament studies at the University of Greifswald. He moved again two years later, this time to the University of Knigsberg, where he was in regular contact with a younger generation of notable theologians such as Gnther Bornkamm, Hans Iwand and Martin Noth. After several years of politics becoming more polarised and then gridlocked, the Nazis took power in 1933. The new government quickly turned Germany into a one-party dictatorship. In 1933 leading protestant churchmen were persuaded to draft a new constitution for the "German Evangelical Church", which was part of a government plan for a state controlled protestant church. The idea was not one that sat comfortably with German tradition, and many protestant theologians responded by creating the Confessing Church.The Bahnauer Fraternity was involved. On behalf of the Confessing Church, the Theology faculty at Knigsberg became a power house for theological training. <mask> joined the Pfarrernotbund. <mask> was kicked out of the University of Knigsberg in 1935 because of his activities with the Confessing Church. He made a public attack on the East Prussian Gauleiter. He was sent to the Confessing Church again. Relations between the Confessing church and the more mainstream regional protestant churches had broken down.The Confessing Church banned professors from setting exams for theology students in 1935. Schniewind refused to set exams for the regional churches because of his support for the Confessing Church. After a few months, he was sent away because of his refusal to comply with the requirements of the authorities. He was invited to return to Halle. He was still committed to the Confessing Church. He was a leader of the student religious community. The authorities launched a criminal investigation into Schniewind's involvement with the Confessing Church after he was removed from his university post.He had to take an 80% salary cut. A recent investigation of personnel records at the University of Halle has shown that Schniewind's professorship was quietly restored in some form later in 1938. There was no report of the criminal case when it reached the stage of a prosecution. He was able to continue "mentoring his students privately" despite his lecturing activities on behalf of the Confessing Church. He worked as a military-hospital chaplain after 1939. The western two thirds of Germany were divided into zones of military occupation after the war ended. The Soviet occupation zone included Halle.The area where he was born and lived as a young man became part of the British occupation zone. Schniewind turned down university appointments from Mnster, Mainz and Berlin. When he was restored to a full professorship at the University of Halle, it became a matter of public record. As a lecturer at the university and church provost in the Halle-Merseburg region he played a decisive role in a revival of public Christian awareness and the life of the church in Halle. <mask> was 65 years old. The most important student of Martin Khler was Theology Schniewind. He was influenced by many people.He believed bible theology to be the Word of God. He stood apart from the liberals in that respect. Schniewind's programme of "spiritual renewal" created a happy unity out of the frequently problematic relationship between biblical belief and historical-critical exegesis. His first interest was in the New Testament and his pastoral duties. Some people write books. I have to be there for my students. Schniewind was able to emphasize the "signs of the times" because of the value of religious scholarship and form criticism.He applied a Pauline interpretation of National Socialism. He would have supported the judgement that Protestantism without the Confessing Church would be a denial of the truth. <mask> had a huge influence on his students. He sought to combine subjective religious experience with the objectivity of biblical witness.

title: Jack Preger

texts: <mask> is a British doctor who has been giving medical treatment and training to the poor in India and West Bengal since 1972, and he was born in Manchester, England. Calcutta Rescue was established by him. <mask> graduated from St Edmund Hall with a degree in economics and political science. He decided to become a doctor after selling his farm and working as a farmer for a few years. He was admitted to the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin at the age of 35. He answered a call over the radio for doctors to help the people of then newly independent Bangladesh, despite his plans to dedicate his life to the poor in South or Central America. He worked in refugee camps filled with people who wanted to return to Pakistan.He learned both Bengali and Urdu. In 1975, he opened a 90-bed clinic and two farms on the outskirts of the city. The Bangladesh government warned him not to expose the Dutch non-government organisation Terre des Hommes, which was operating a child-smuggling racket. He was deported to Thailand in 1979. After being deported from Bangladesh, he went to India and worked in Kolkata for six months under Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity. Preger criticized the poor conditions in Mother Teresa's charities, saying "If one wants to give love, understanding and care, one uses sterile needles."

He met and studied with the founder of Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu at Hokkaid, where he was the head of a pioneer settlement. After leaving Hokkaido in 1919, <mask> joined the moto-ky movement, a Shinto sect, and opened his first dojo. The head of the moto-ky group, Onisaburo Deguchi, was captured by Chinese troops and returned to Japan in 1924. He stated that a golden spirit sprang up from the ground and changed his body into a golden one.His martial arts skill appeared to have increased after this experience. The Aikikai Hombu Dojo was established in Tokyo by <mask>. He was well-known in martial arts circles and taught at several military academies in Japan. After World War II, the Hombu dojo was temporarily closed, but <mask> retired to Iwama and continued his training there. He worked to promote aikido throughout Japan and abroad after the war ended.

On December 14, 1884, the fourth child of Yoroku <mask> and his wife, Yuki, was born in Nishinotani village, now part of the city of Tanabe, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. The young Ueshiba was raised well off. Yoroku was an elected member of the Nishinotani village council for 22 years. His mother was from the Itokawa clan, a prominent local family who had a connection to the Heian period. <mask> was a sickly child and bookish. At a young age, his father encouraged him to take up sumo wrestling and swimming and entertained him with stories of his great-grandfather Kichiemon, who was considered a very strong samurai in his era.The need for strength was emphasized when the young <mask> witnessed his father being attacked. The Shinto priest Tasaburo Nasu introduced <mask> to the religion and influenced his early education. At the age of six, <mask> was sent to study at the Jizderu Temple, but had little interest in Confucian education. <mask> found it interesting that his schoolmaster was also a priest of Shingon Buddhism, and that he taught the young <mask> some of the chants and rituals of the sect. His interest in Buddhism was so great that his mother wanted to enroll him in the priesthood, but his father wouldn't allow it. <mask> left formal education in his early teens to enroll at a private academy to study accountancy. After graduating from the academy, he worked at a local tax office for a few months, but the job did not suit him and he left for Tokyo, funded by his father.He returned to Tanabe less than a year after suffering a bout of beri-beri because he was unhappy with life in the capital. He married his childhood friend Hatsu Itokawa. <mask> was called up for military service in 1903. The initial physical examination was shorter than the regulation. To overcome this, he stretched his spine by attaching heavy weights to his legs and suspending himself from tree branches; when he re-took the physical exam, he had increased his height by half-inch to pass. He was promoted to sergeant after serving on the front lines of the war. He returned to his father's farm in 1907 after being discharged.He became involved with Minakata's opposition to the Meiji government's Shrine Consolidation Policy after befriending the writer and philosopher. He and his wife had a daughter named Matsuko. During his youth, <mask> was renowned for his strength and martial arts training. He briefly attended a school teaching Shinkage-ry while he was in Tokyo. His training in Got-ha Yagy-ryu under Masakatsu Nakai started in 1903 and continued until 1908, though it was sporadic due to his military service. In 1901 he received some instruction from Tozawa Tokusaburin in Tenjin Shin'y-ry jujutsu and in 1911 he studied with Kiyoichi Takagi in Tanabe. After his return from the war, he received a certificate of enlightenment from his childhood teacher.The prefecture of Hokkaid, Japan's northernmost island, offered various grants and incentives for mainland Japanese groups to relocate there in the early 20th century. The Japanese were mostly occupied by the Ainu in Hokkaid. In 1910, <mask> traveled to Hokkaid with Denzaburo Kurahashi, who had lived on the northern island before. He wanted to find a propitious location for a new settlement, and he found it at the site at Shirataki. <mask> got lost in snowstorms several times and nearly drowned in a river, but he was still enthusiastic about the project and began recruiting families to join him. The group founded the village of Yubetsu in August, 1912, as a result of his leadership of the Kish Settlement Group. The project was funded by Ueshiba's father and his brothers-in-law.Noriaki was a member of the settlement group. Poor soil conditions and bad weather led to crop failures during the first three years of the project, but the group still managed to cultivate mint and farm livestock. The timber industry provided a boost to the settlement's economy and by 1918 there were over 500 families there. The entire village was destroyed in a fire in 1917. On learning of the fire, Ueshiba traveled back the entire distance on foot. He took a prominent role in leading the reconstruction efforts after he was elected to the village council. Their first son, Takemori, was born in the summer of 1918.The young <mask> met the founder of Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu at the Hisada Inn. Despite being on an important mission for his village, <mask> abandoned his journey to spend the next month studying with Takeda because he was so impressed with the martial artist. He invited his new teacher to be a permanent house guest after he requested formal instruction and began studying the style of jjutsu. He received a teaching license for the system from Takeda in 1922. He received a Yagy Shinkage-ry sword transmission scroll. <mask> became a representative of Dait-ry, toured with Takeda as a teaching assistant, and taught the system to others. <mask> and Takeda had a complicated relationship.<mask> was an extremely dedicated student, dutifully attending to his teacher's needs and showing great respect. <mask>'s own students recorded the need to address what they referred to as "the Takeda problem", as Takeda overshadowed him throughout his martial arts career. In 1919, <mask> found out that his father was not expected to survive. <mask> left most of his possessions to Takeda in order to visit his ailing parent in Tanabe. He made a detour to visit Onisaburo Deguchi, the spiritual leader of the moto-ky religion, as his nephew Noriaki had already joined the religion and may have recommended it to his uncle. Deguchi told <mask> that there was nothing to worry about with his father. <mask> found out that Yoroku had died when he returned to Tanabe.<mask> was criticized by his family and friends for arriving too late to see his father, so he went into the mountains with a sword and practiced solo sword exercises for several days; this almost led to his arrest when the police were informed of a sword-wielding madman on the loose. After a few months, <mask> decided to become a full-time student of moto-ky. He purchased enough rice to feed himself and his family for several years after moving his family to the moto compound. The first of several dojos that <mask> was to lead was constructed on the centre's grounds, after Deguchi asked <mask> to become the group's martial arts instructor. <mask> taught Takeda's Dait-ry in another prefecture. His second son, Kuniharu, died from illness in 1920, along with his three-year-old brother Takemori. Although he was not a follower of moto and did not get along with Deguchi, Takeda was able to provide instruction to <mask>.At the request of his teacher, <mask> continued to teach his martial art under the name "Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu". Many moto followers were sent to study at the dojo after Deguchi encouraged <mask> to create his own style of martial arts. He made <mask> his executive assistant and put him in charge of the moto Shobotai, a volunteer. His close relationship with Deguchi introduced <mask> to various members of Japan's far-right; members of the ultranationalist group the Sakurakai would hold meetings at <mask>'s dojo, and he developed a friendship with the philosopher Shmei kawa during this Deguchi also offered <mask>'s services as a bodyguard. <mask>'s commitment to the goal of world peace, stressed by many biographers, must be viewed in the light of his relationships and beliefs. His association with the extreme right-wing is understandable when one considers that his view of world peace was that of a benevolent dictatorship by the Emperor of Japan.In 1921, the Japanese authorities raided the compound and arrested Deguchi on charges of lse-majesté. After <mask>'s dojo was undamaged, he worked closely with Deguchi to reconstruct the group's centre, becoming heavily involved in farming work and serving as the group's "Caretaker of Forms", a role which placed him in charge of overseeing. His son was born in the summer of 1921. In 1924, Deguchi led a small group of moto-ky disciples, including <mask>, on a journey to Mongolia at the invitation of retired naval captain Yutaro Yano and his associates within the Black Dragon Society. To establish a new religious kingdom in Mongolia, Deguchi distributed propaganda suggesting that he was the reincarnation of Genghis Khan. While Lu and his men were executed by firing squad in China, the Japanese group were released into the custody of the Japanese

texts: consul. Deguchi was imprisoned in Japan for breaking the terms of his bail.<mask> was given a Chinese name, Wang Shou-gao, which was rendered in Japanese and he continued to use it for the rest of his life. <mask> retreated to the mountains or performed misogi in the Nachi Falls after returning to Ayabe. His fame began to spread when he became a martial artist. Some of his students became his students after they were defeated by him. In the autumn of 1925 he was asked to give a demonstration of his art in Tokyo, at the request of admiral Isamu Takeshita, who wanted <mask> to stay in the capital to instruct the Imperial Guard in his martial arts. After a couple of weeks, <mask> took issue with several government officials who voiced concerns about his connections to Deguchi; he canceled the training and returned to Ayabe. <mask> was invited to visit Tokyo again.While living in the capital, <mask> was stricken with a serious illness. <mask> was told to return to Ayabe by Deguchi, who was concerned for his health. After <mask> was questioned by the police following his meeting with Deguchi, the authorities kept him under close watch. <mask> went back to Ayabe because he was angry with the treatment he received. After six months with Deguchi's approval, he and his family moved to Tokyo. This move allowed <mask> to teach politicians, high-ranking military personnel, and members of the Imperial household; suddenly he was no longer an obscure provincial martial artist, but a sensei to some of Japan's most important citizens. The <mask> family moved to the Shirokane district in 1927.The Ueshibas moved to larger premises, first in Mita district, then in Takanawa, and finally to a purpose-built hall in Shinjuku, because the building was too small to house the growing number of aikido students. The Aikikai Hombu Dojo was eventually named after this location. Kan Jigor, the founder of judo, visited Ueshiba when he rented a property nearby. <mask> was invited to teach at a number of military institutions due to his close personal relationships with key figures in the military, among them Sadao Araki, the Japanese Minister of War. He accepted an invitation from Sankichi to be the martial arts instructor at the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, and also taught at the Nakano Spy School, although aikido was later judged to be too technical for the students there and karate was adopted instead. He became a visiting instructor at the Imperial Japanese Army Academy after defeating General Miura. While <mask> was teaching at the Osaka headquarters of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, Takeda met him for the last time around 1935.Frustrated by the appearance of his teacher, who was openly critical of <mask>'s martial arts and who appeared intent on taking over the classes there, <mask> left Osaka during the night and avoided all contact with him. He was the principal martial arts instructor at Kenkoku University when Manchuria was occupied by the Japanese. He defeated the sumo wrestler Tenry Sabur during a demonstration. The "Second moto Incident" in 1935 saw the destruction of the Ayabe compound and the imprisonment of most of the group's leaders. Although he had relocated to Tokyo, <mask> still had links with the moto-ky group and was expected to be arrested as one of its senior members. He had a good relationship with the local police commissioner and the chief of police, both of whom had been his students. He was released without charge on Morita's authority because he was taken in for interrogation.<mask>'s daughter Matsuko was married to a swordsman named Kiyoshi who was adopted as <mask>'s heir. After a few years, the marriage ended and Nakakura left the family. The heir to <mask>'s martial art was his son. Japan invaded mainland Asia in the 1930s and military activity increased in Europe. <mask> became involved in a number of efforts to try and prevent World War II because he was concerned about the possibility of war. He was part of a group that tried to broker a deal to export aviation fuel from the United States to Japan in defiance of the oil embargo that was currently in force. <mask> went on a secret diplomatic mission to China in 1941.<mask> was unable to meet with the Chinese leader to establish peace talks because he was late. From 1935 onwards, <mask> had been purchasing land in Iwama in Ibaraki Prefecture, and by the early 1940s he had acquired farmland there. He left Tokyo in 1942 and settled in a small farmer's cottage in Iwama. The Iwama dojo and the Aiki Shrine were founded here by him. He spent a lot of time in Japan teaching his aikido. Despite the prohibition on martial arts after World War II, <mask> and his students continued to practice in secret at the Iwama dojo; the Hombu dojo in Tokyo was used as a refugee centre for citizens displaced by the severe firebombing. <mask> befriended an expert in kotodama.One of <mask>'s passions in later life was the study of kotodama, and Nakanishi's work inspired <mask>'s concept of takemusu aiki. <mask> was able to concentrate on farming because of the rural nature of his new home. He was born into a farming family and spent much of his life cultivating the land, from his settlement days in Hokkaid to his work in Ayabe trying to make the compound self-sufficient. Farming and martial arts were both physically demanding and required single-minded dedication. Under the government's restrictions, his farming activities provided a useful cover for martial arts training, as well as providing food for <mask>, his students and other local families at a time when food shortages were commonplace. The Aiki Foundation, established by the Japanese Ministry of Education with permission from the Occupation forces, lifted the government prohibition on aikido in 1948. The Hombu dojo reopened the following year.<mask> retired from aikido after the war. He delegated most of the work of running the Hombu dojo and the Aiki Federation to his son Kisshomaru and instead spent most of his time in prayer, meditation, calligraphy and farming. He visited Hawaii in 1961. The Master of Aikido was broadcast on NTV in January 1960. Mikami Taku, one of the naval officers involved in the May 15 incident, was temporarily sheltered by <mask> at Iwama. <mask> became ill in 1969. He was taken to the hospital on March 10, where he was diagnosed with cancer of the liver.He died suddenly. His body was buried at a temple in Wakayama Japan and he was given a Buddhist title. His wife Hatsu also died two months later. Development of aikido Aikido is a fighting system that focuses on throws, pins and joint locks together with some striking techniques. It promotes spiritual and social development by protecting the opponent. The basic techniques of aikido are derived from the Dait-ry system. The Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu system was taught by <mask> from the 1920s to the mid-1930s.The future highest grade earner in Dait-ry, Takuma Hisa, was trained by <mask> before Takeda took charge of his training. The early form of training under Ueshiba was different from later forms. Increased use of strikes to vital points, a larger curriculum, and a greater use of weapons were some of the things it had. The schools of aikido were developed by <mask>'s students during the pre-war period. These students included the founder of Shodokan Aikido, Noriaki Inoue, the founder of Shin'ei Taid, Minoru Mochizuki, and the founder of Yoseikan Budo. Many of these styles are considered pre-war styles, although some of the teachers continued to train with <mask> after World War II. <mask> had three spiritual experiences that affected his understanding of martial arts.The first occurred in 1925 after <mask> had defeated the naval officer. His first experience occurred in 1940 when he was involved in the ritual purification process of misogi. During the worst fighting of World War II, <mask> had a vision of the "great spirit of peace". <mask> began to change his art after these events. The differing names with which he referred to his system are reflected in the changes. In 1942, when <mask>'s group joined the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, the martial art that <mask> developed finally came to be known as aikido. As <mask> grew older, more skilled, and more spiritual, his art became softer and more gentle.More focus was given to the control of ki as martial techniques became less important. The emphasis in his own expression of the art was on using the opponent's movement in order to throw thebreath throws. <mask> regularly practiced cold water misogi, as well as other spiritual and religious rites, and viewed his studies of aikido as part of his spiritual training. Many of the students that <mask> trained later became famous teachers and developed their own styles of aikido. Some of them were live-in students. <mask> placed many demands on his uchi-deshi, expecting them to attend him at all times, act as training partners, arrange his travel plans, massage and bathe him, and assist with household chores. There were four generations of students, the pre-war students, the students who trained during the Second World War, and the students who trained with Ues.As a result of <mask>'s martial development throughout his life, students from each of these generations tend to have markedly different approaches to aikido. The variations are compounded by the fact that few students trained with <mask> for a long time. Aikido spread around the world after Ueshiba and the Hombu Dojo sent some of their students to other countries. The order of the rising sun, gold rays with Rosette, and the order of the sacred treasure are all medals of

texts: <mask> is an American country music singer, musician, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and actor. <mask>'s debut album produced four straight number one singles on the US Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. <mask> continued to chart hit songs into the 2000s despite his momentum slowing in the 1990s. He has had more than 30 singles on the US Billboard country charts, twenty-two of which have reached number one, in addition to having released twelve studio albums and several compilation albums. Equity Music Group was founded in 2003 by <mask>. <mask> has appeared in a number of films and TV shows, including a starring role in 1998's Still Holding On: The Legend of Cadillac Jack. <mask> has been nominated for a number of awards, including a win in the category for best country male vocal performance.<mask> was the youngest of four children and was born in Long Branch, New Jersey. Red Bank was where <mask>, Jr. lived. His maternal great-grandfather was from Palermo, Sicily. The family moved back to Texas. <mask> was one year old when <mask> was born. He was raised in Texas. There was always music in the house.<mask> wrote his first song when he was 14. The parents first noticed that he had a great voice at that age, according to his father. <mask> was able to play guitar by 15. <mask> was in a small band with his brothers. On Saturday afternoons, the family would host backyard barbecues and invite the neighborhood to listen to the boys sing. Up to 70 people would attend some weekends. <mask> dropped out of high school to play with his brothers.<mask> was initially drawn to a variety of musical genres. According to his father, he focused on country music in the early 1980s after George Strait and Reba McEntire moved the genre back toward the more traditional style. <mask> supported himself as a construction worker, bait cutter, and fishing guide while singing at various lounges as a solo singer and guitarist for six years. He met another guitarist at a gig. The two men began a song writing partnership that would last decades. <mask> gave a demo of their collaboration " Nobody's Home" to Sammy Alfano. <mask> was invited to a meeting with Bill Ham, who was the manager of ZZ Top.One of the most aggressive labels in country music was signed by Breakthrough <mask>. Killin' Time was his first album. Four of the songs on the album were written by <mask> alone, while the rest were written by Nicholas. <mask> used his road band instead of session musicians to record Killin' Time. The album reached number one on the chart and was certified Platinum in 1990. He made his debut in 1989 with a single, "A Better Man", which reached number one on the Hot Country Songs. This was the first time in 14 years that a debut single by a male artist had peaked at the top of the chart.The first time a country artist had done this was with five singles from his debut album. <mask> was the best newcomer in 1989. At the end of the year, his singles, "A Better Man" and "Killin' Time" place number one and number two on the country singles charts. It had been 36 years since another artist claimed the top spots in the same year. <mask> said that he felt like he would always be remembered for "Killin' Time" at one point. There was a mixed feeling of remorse and excitement. The Los Angeles Times surveyed the country music industry to find out which acts would sell the most records over the next seven years.The second place vote went to <mask> by two votes. In the past, country music had been dominated by artists with decades of experience, but 10 of the top 20 artists are relative newcomers to the industry. Some reviewers were confused by the number of new acts. Newsweek's David Gates wrote: "Good song, good voice, hot band: who cares which one it is this time?", as many reviewers lumped many of the new acts together. Like other country artists such as Tracy Lawrence, Alan Jackson, and John Michael Montgomery, <mask> was a relative newcomer who wore a hat, and had a clean, neotraditional sound with pop appeal. In 1990 Killin' Time was certified Platinum. Put Yourself in My Shoes was <mask>'s second album.It was in the top 20 on the pop album charts. The success on the pop charts was a result of a change in the way that album sales are calculated, as well as a change in the way that country albums are counted. The album did not receive the same amount of praise as his debut, but still included several hit singles. He started touring with Alabama. <mask> is a member of the Grand Ole Opry. In March 1992, <mask> sued his manager, Bill Ham, for breach of contract and sought $2 million in damages. All publishing royalties for any song that <mask> wrote or co- wrote for his first eight albums were controlled by Ham.The fee was 20 to 30 cents per album sold because <mask> wrote all of his own music. They would be able to retain more of the royalties if they formed their own publication companies. <mask>'s new personal assistant, Jonni Hartman, was blamed for the initial lawsuit by Ham. His lawyer told the press that Mr. Ham invested $1 million of his own money in <mask>'s career at a time when nobody else would. Mr. <mask> should honor his contracts for that commitment. <mask>'s first two albums had sold 5 million copies. The release of <mask>'s third album, The Hard Way, was delayed due to the difficulties with Ham.The country music scene changed when the album was delayed. Billy Ray Cyrus became a teen idol. The competition that <mask> faced was more stiff than before. According to <mask>, he and producer James Stroud spent more time putting this album together than either of those preceding and were "a lot more aggressive in the way we cut and mixed the album". <mask> was more satisfied with the vocals on the album. Several of the songs on The Hard Way, including "Burn One Down", were initially reported to be <mask>'s responses to his situation with Ham. Nicholas said that most of the songs were written in the late 1980s.<mask> launched The Hard Way Tour on June 26, 1992. The tour lasted 11 months. Reviewers noticed that with this album <mask> presented a "new, sexier image", wearing tighter clothing and leaving behind his trademark hat. <mask> commented that he was bored all the time. <mask>'s fourth album, No Time to Kill, was released a year after The Hard Way. There were mixed reviews of the album. <mask>'s duet with Wynonna Judd, "A Bad Goodbye", was the kind of radio-ready, big-production ballad that record companies tend to force on their artists when they sense that their careers are in trouble.The duet helped <mask> show his emotions more intensely, according to a review in Time magazine. <mask>'s voice sounded strained in some of the more serious songs on the album. There was one emotion in 1994. The album accounted for five straight top five hits. "Untanglin' My Mind" was co-written by Merle Haggard. "Wherever You Go", "Summer's Comin'", and "Life Gets Away" came after it. In Canada, the latter two were the number one country hits.In 1996, <mask> became the fourth country music singer to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His first greatest-hits package was released later that year. "Like the Rain" spent three weeks at the top of the charts. "Half Way Up" was his first single since "One More Payment" and missed the top five. Nothin' but the Taillights was released in 1997 and received mediocre reviews. According to AllMusic, the album was "sturdy" but less country than his previous efforts. His first single to land outside the top 10 was "Still Holding On", which peaked at number 11.The album's Steve Wariner-penned title track and "The Shoes You're Wearing" were two straight chart-toppers for him. The number 12 "Loosen Up My Strings" and number 29 "You Don't Need Me Now" were not very popular. He recorded a cover of the Christmas song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" for the soundtrack of the animated movie in 1998. <mask> released D'lectrified in 1999. The album was thought to be full and bold by USAToday, since he used creative arrangements and horn sections. There are three remakes of previous <mask> singles on the albums. Several others featured guest appearances by some of <mask>'s idols.Many of the songs on country radio were more than five minutes long. The first child of <mask> and Hartman was born in 2001. <mask> took a break from the music industry to be with his daughter. It wasn't a smart career move, but it was a real smart dad move. I wouldn't try to do anything for my career in exchange for that. During his sabbatical, <mask> reexamined his career. He formed his own record label, Equity Music Group, after he decided he didn't want to work in the current recording industry system.<mask> admitted that it was difficult to leave. He sold over 20 million records with the label. <mask> had begun his own career under those rules. Artists were given an equity stake in the label and were guaranteed ownership of their songs. <mask>'s eighth studio album was the first release from the new label, and it was his first release in five years. The Houston Chronicle said it was the most adventurous of his career. Drinkin' Songs and Other Logic was released by <mask> in 2005.The title of the album was limited to simple topics in <mask>'s past. He said that he spent three months listening to only the music he grew up with. Waylon, Willie, Buck Owens, Haggard, Don Williams, Jim Croce were before I started making records. There was a simplicity in the song that I had moved away from. It was quite an emotional journey because these were all the songs that moved me and inspired me to do what I've been doing ever since. <mask> continues to record new material. "The Strong One" is the first original song he has recorded that he did not write.The song was included in his first digital project. <mask>'s single, "Long Cool Woman", "The Strong One", and a duet with his wife, "You Still Get to Me", are included in the collection. The Equity Music Group closed in December of 2008. <mask> was a judge for the Independent Music Awards. Since the closing of his label in 2008, <mask> has intermittently mentioned a new album that never materialized. He released a Cracker Barrel-exclusive album in which he re- recorded some of his biggest hits as well as three new songs. <mask> stated that he hired the same musicians that had played on the original versions to perform the new ones, and that some songs were approached from a "fresh angle" while others were made to be as close to the originals as possible.Modern artists teaming up with older icons that had influenced their music was featured on the ACM Superstar Duets special. In July 2015, it was reported that <mask> had signed a new record deal with Thirty Tigers and would be releasing a new album in the fall. The release date for the record was September 25. Out of Sane was released in 2020. <mask> refused to record the material of other artists because he didn't want to fill his album with his own material. The single "The Strong One" was recorded by <mask>. He collaborated with Hayden Nicholas on many of his songs.Their first collaboration, "Straight From the Factory", took them only 20 minutes to write, although Nicholas later commented that "most of 'em weren't that easy". Many people were surprised that a young man at the release of his first album could have such a mature perspective. <mask> said that a song is more than just something to sing. It's something to learn from. It's someone else's true feeling. I try to get at the meaning. ...I do the same thing when I write a line. If I were to listen to it down the road, what would I get out of it? He uses puns and other creative turns of phrase in many of his songs. While the wordplay in many of the songs on his earlier albums was appreciated, the fourth album reviewers felt that the songs were not as high in quality. According to Rick Mitchell of the Houston Chronicle, The Hard Way "clever wordplay is no substitute for genuine emotion". He received offers for acting roles after his music career took off. He turned down every request until 1994, when he was offered a small part in a movie.<mask> received a lot of calls from directors who thought he would be perfect for a particular role after the movie's release. <mask> has appeared in several shows. The 1998 television film, Still Holding On: The Legend of Cadillac Jack, is based on the case of Jack Favor, a rodeo star who was wrongly accused of double murders in 1967.
