Lieutenant Colonel Sir <mask>  (1842–18 September 1912) was a London businessman, politician, magistrate and a driving force behind the establishment of Pimm's as an international brandname. Early life
Son of H. D<mask> Esq, he was educated as a poor scholar at Edward Alleyn's original 'College of God's Gift in Dulwich', founded in 1619. The school was always known colloquially as 'Dulwich College', and the original buildings where <mask> was taught are now The Old College and Almshouses in Dulwich Village. Alleyn's charitable foundation was renamed Alleyn's College of God's Gift in 1857 (when <mask> was aged around 15), and was split into Upper and Lower schools. The Upper School moved into new premises in 1870 (formally becoming Dulwich College in 1882), with the Lower School remaining in the old buildings until 1887 when it moved into its new (and current) premises, becoming Alleyn's School. Horatio maintained that, as a small boy, he had seen the bones of the founder of Dulwich College, Edward Alleyn, when his tomb was moved. After completing his education at Dulwich College he was apprenticed as an engraver for seven years, but relinquished the career because it did not seem to afford a wide enough field to his activity and ambition.His later career was both of a political and business nature. He was said to have been in his enterprises loyal to his old friends but he disliked the intrusion of newcomers. He was for many year an officer of the 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers, and retired with the rank of an honorary Lieutenant Colonel with the Volunteer Decoration. Business career

Restaurateur
The 'Holborn Restaurant' and Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate, followed with much success. Crosby Hall, the old palace of Richard III dates from 1466. It is one of the City's oldest buildings and the only surviving medieval merchant house in the City of London. It was turned into a restaurant by Frederick Gordon & Co. in 1868.The previous tenants for seven years had been H. R. Williams, wine merchants, who stored imported wine in the crypt and vault. In 1871 the whole of the property was put up for auction by the Freeman family, descendants of William Freeman, a sugar merchant born on St. Kitts in 1656 who had bought the freehold in 1692. Although much of the estate was sold, including houses in Bishopsgate Street, Crosby Square and Great St. Helen's, the hall was bought in at £22,500, and sold privately to the current tenants Messrs. Gordon & Co. for about £37,000. It was elaborately restored to plans by the architects F. and H. Francis. Following these ventures, Gordon went on to found the Gordon Hotels Group. Horatio was also noted as owning the 'Ship and Turtle' in Leadenhall Street. He later sold Crosby Hall - one of the City's most ancient buildings, which had previously been saved a number of times from destruction, in April 1907 to the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China to make way for a new bank building.Its impending demolition aroused a huge protest from individuals and the papers. The building was finally dismantled in 1910 and rebuilt in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. Pimm's

James Pimm, a shellfishmonger with premises in Poultry, London had invented the Pimms beverage as an aid to digesting the oysters his business was selling. In 1880, <mask> purchased the business from Frederick Sawyer who had owned it since 1865, and a chain of Pimm's Oyster Houses was franchised in 1887. The brand was expanded as <mask> started the process of bottling the 'Number One Cup' for other establishments to sell. He also expanded the chain to five Pimm's restaurants. Gradually, an export business was built up, so that by the time of Sir Horatio's death in 1912, Pimm's cocktail was known internationally, especially in the British Empire.Political career
<mask> was actively involved in the law, and in local and national politics. He was an Alderman in London. His first connection with the Court of Common Council was his election as representative of the Ward of Cheap in 1885. Four years later he became a member of the Court of Aldermen for Bishopsgate, and was soon chosen to serve as Sheriff of London and Middlesexin 1887. His name appears as an Alderman on a plaque commemorating the opening of Tower Bridge in 1894. He was Master of the Worshipful Company of Loriners, Master of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers in 1897, the same year as he served as Lord Mayor of London. His old school in the form of the Dulwich College Rifle Volunteer Corps (a forerunner of the present day CCF), took part in his Lord Mayor's Show in 1897.He was said to have entertained more lavishly than any other occupant of the Mansion House. 1897 was also the year of Queen Victoria Golden Jubilee, and he welcomed the Queen to the City of London as part of the celebrations. He was knighted at the close of his mayoralty as a . His first attempt to enter Parliament was for Rochester as a Tory in 1889, but Edward Knatchbull-Hugessen defeated him. The Rochester by-election was caused by the resignation of the Conservative Francis Hughes-Hallett after a scandal. Standing again for the same constituency he was returned as an MP in the July 1892 general election he topped the poll, only to be unseated after an electoral petition in December that year. The election was declared void, and a by-election was held in 1893, with Viscount Cranborne being returned unopposed.He held on to his seat for Chatham from 1895 to 1906 as a member of the Conservative Party. He was returned unopposed in the 1900 general election, but lost in the 1906 election to John Jenkins, one of 29 MPs of the Labour Representation Committee, the predecessor of the Labour Party. In 1898 he was also a magistrate for Kent and one of Her Majesty's Lieutenants for London. As a magistrate he was regarded as just, but severe to wrong-doers, while tender-hearted for cases of distress. He was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour. He was knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in 1898. He was much travelled, and had recently returned from a trip to South Africa before his death at Watcombe Hall, Torquay, Devon on 18 September 1912.Watcombe Hall is a large stuccoed villa on the south-east side of Watcombe Park, created by Isambard K. Brunel out of farmland purchased between 1847 and 1858. The estate, comprising 500 acres (208ha), was sold in 1876 to a Nottingham banker and MP, Colonel Charles Ichabod Wright. Personal life

In 1867 he married Lizzie, the sister of his business partner Frederick Gordon (and the daughter of Charles John Gordon). After her death in 1907 he married Pauline Marie Boniface in 1909. He bought the estate of Colwick Hall, Nottinghamshire in 1888, ending the Musters family's 238 years of ownership. <mask> held Colwick Hall and the lower part of the Park area for a short time only before selling it to a leisure and sporting syndicate which laid out a course for horse racing, opening it to the public in 1892. The hall and racecourse were later purchased by Nottingham City Council, and the hall became a public house.He bought Wateringbury Place, near Maidstone, Kent in 1890 for £20,000. He was an art lover and a discriminating purchaser of pictures, and filled the house with famous works of art. One of these was Glaucus and Scylla, one of a pair of tondos by Turner, purchased after 1883 for about £570. He sold it in 1901. He also owned a large collection of antique silverware including porringers of the time of "William the Dutchman," antique goblets, vinaigrettes, and the like "in almost endless profusion". He also owned a solid gold bowl once the property of King Thibaw Min, and an extensive assortment of rings, Oriental fetishes and other graven golden images and knick knacks. <mask> was an Officer of the Légion d'honneur and a leading Freemason.He was a member of both the Carlton Club and the Junior Carlton Club.

<mask>, ARCA, FRIBA (13 June 1876 – 2 June 1943) was a Canadian-American architect based in Nova Scotia. In his day, <mask> was one of the most renowned architects in Atlantic Canada. He is one of the first élèves of the École des Beaux Arts to practice architecture in the region and his homes and buildings are famous for their exterior aesthetic appeal, comfortable interiors, well-crafted details and built-in furniture. <mask> was born in Brooklyn, New York, son of an American father and a Canadian mother. He was 14 when his father died, and he moved to his mother's home province of Nova Scotia, settling in Greenwich, Kings County. He completed his schooling in nearby Horton School and later attended Acadia University. He won a scholarship to the School of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he earned BSc and MSc degrees (1904).He worked in Cleveland, Ohio for the next few years, contributing to the design of, among other projects, the Cuyahoga County Court House. He spent 1907, 1908, and 1909 in Paris where he attended the École des Beaux Arts. During his vacations, he "toured the Continent", spending time in Italy, France and England studying architecture. Returning to Halifax from Paris he entered into a partnership with Halifax-born architect Sydney P. Dumaresq. The partnership was dissolved in 1912 by which time both men had established sufficient reputations to strike out on their own. He worked mainly in Nova Scotia and was busy until he was killed at the age of 68. He and three others were killed instantly when the city bus on which they were travelling was struck by a car.<mask>'s work and career was documented by Halifax historian Janet Kitz in a 2014 biography, <mask>: Architect and Artist. Major works
 Dingle Tower, Halifax, 1911 (with Sydney Dumaresque)
 Dalhousie University's Studley Campus and the University of King's College campus (1913–1928) plans and many of the buildings
Dalhousie University's Studley Campus buildings include the Science Building, 1913–15; MacDonald Memorial Library, 1914–15; Shirreff Hall Women's Residence, 1920; Arts Building, 1921–22; Medical Science Laboratory, 1921–22; Provincial Archives Building (now the Chase Building), 1929; Gymnasium Building, 1931. University of King's College buildings include main building and chapel, 1928; dormitory, 1931. Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, including:
Raynor Hall Residence, 1916
Emmerson Hall, built in 1913, is particularly interesting for the variety of building stones used. In 1967 Emmerson Hall was converted to classrooms and offices for the School of Education. It is a registered Heritage Property. Horton House, designed by <mask> in the Georgian style, and built by  <mask> of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia was opened in 1915 as Horton Academy.Today, Horton House is a co-educational residence. Neptune Theatre, Halifax, built in 1915 it was originally known as the Strand Theatre and is reputed to be the first vaudeville house in Canada designed and built specifically as a theatre. Dartmouth, Nova Scotia buildings
 Greenvale School, Dartmouth, built in 1915 after a fire had destroyed the previous school in 1914. Built by Rhodes and Curry of Amherst, Nova Scotia, it was used as an infirmary and a sanctuary for the homeless after the Halifax Explosion. Dozens of trees were planted surrounding the building and they are now protected as heritage trees. Greenvale School has a list of firsts, including the first kindergarten class in Canada. It was Dartmouth's first high school in 1934.First Baptist Church of Dartmouth, built in 1922, (replacing the original church, which was built in 1843 and destroyed in the 1917 explosion). The stones used are rubble stone and the walls are 30-inches thick, which enabled the building to withstand the concussions of another explosion (at the military magazine) in July 1945 without damage. Corner Brook, Newfoundland - the largest commission of his career, he designed worker housing for the Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Company, which was constructing what was, up to that time, the largest project ever undertaken in the history of paper making. Many of the structures were inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Townsite, as the development was known, contained over 175 houses and was laid out by Thomas Adams. The Glynmill Inn, designed in 1923. Constructed by the English firm of Armstrong-Whitworth Co., is certainly the town's best-known building.Designed as a staff residence for Armstrong-Whitworth supervising employees. <mask> designed the Tudor-style house and in his honor the street leading to it was named <mask> Lane. A spot was reserved for the inn on the outskirts of Corner Brook between the townsite and the mill. Glynmill Inn is the finest building of its type in Western Newfoundland, and one of the best examples of a Tudor-inspired building in the province. The original Tudor Style half-timbering is still in place. The interior design was influenced by the Craftsman Style and remains relatively intact with few alterations. 710 Prince Street, Truro, Nova Scotia, built 1924.This is an example of a well-designed and well-crafted Tudor Revival House. Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick
 Mount Allison Centennial Hall is the second oldest building on the University's central campus. Originally built in 1883 it housed administrative offices and college classrooms as well as a chapel and the college library. In March 1933 the building suffered extensive damage in a fire. After the fire, the foundation and some walls remained standing and <mask> incorporated them into the reconstructed building which officially opened in January 1934. It is currently in excellent condition and an extensive project was completed in recent years on the foundation to prevent deterioration due to water infiltration to ensure that the building remains that way over the long term. Mount Allison Science Building: In the early 1930s, <mask> was selected to design Mount Allison's Science Building (now known as the Biology Building.)The University has done extensive work on the exterior in recent years to ensure that the building can be maintained over the long term. Work has included installation of a 50-year roof, re-pointed stonework, and land contour work to ensure that water flows away from and not towards the building as it had done previously. Mount Allison has also done three major projects on the inside of the building in recent years, including most recently a project to renew one of the research laboratories in the building. Memorial Hall (originally Memorial Library, renamed the University Centre in 1970), Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick was constructed in 1927 in the Tudor Revival style. The original set of brass plaques that were located in the building have been moved to the Wallace McCain Student Centre and registered with the Canadian Forces' National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials (#13002-004). In May 2011, the New Brunswick government issued notice of its intention to designate the building a Provincial Heritage Place, giving it protection from alteration or destruction; then, following a submission from the university, the Minister withdrew his notice, claiming that neither the building's heritage value nor its memorial nature met provincial criteria for provincial designation. The government has so far refused to release the evidence on which it based its decision, citing "privacy and financial issues".In October 2011, it was reported in the Argosy newspaper that the university refused a donation from philanthropist and alumna Joan Carlisle-Irving the previous August of $5 million to preserve Memorial Hall, which was the amount the university claimed was needed to restore the building. The University categorically denied that it was ever offered a donation from a donor to retain the building. The building was demolished in November 2011. Other contributions

<mask><mask>, born <mask>, (July 21, 1923, Rome – September 12, 2008, Berkeley, California) was an endocrinologist studying stress. Background and education
<mask> was born on July 21, 1923, in Rome, Italy, just after Italy's takeover by Mussolini and his Fascist movement. Her father, a statistician and strong anti-Fascist, fled the following year to France, where his daughter visited often. Even as a girl, she dreamed of becoming a doctor, like her grandfather and uncle. <mask> obtained her medical degree from the University of Rome La Sapienza in 1947. She married Romanian diplomat <mask> and then moved with him to Canada where she studied experimental medicine and surgery at the Université de Montréal, gaining her doctorate in 1952. During her postdoctoral work at the University of Montreal her supervisor was the endocrinologist <mask>.One of Timiras's colleagues was Roger Guillemin. Timiras performed her doctoral research at the University of Montreal in the lab of <mask>, who had developed the first theories about the body's hormonal responses to stress. At his suggestion, Timiras applied for and won a research fellowship that allowed her to work in his lab. There, she studied how stress influences the immune system through the effects of adrenocortical hormones. Teaching and research
Before she finished her degree, the University of Montreal hired her as an assistant professor. In 1954, she moved to Salt Lake City to pursue that line of inquiry in the pharmacology department at the University of Utah. In 1955, she joined the University of California, Berkeley physiology department as an assistant physiologist and was appointed to the faculty in 1958.She became a full professor in 1967. At UC Berkeley, Timiras studied the effects of caloric restriction on various hypothalamic nuclei, specifically the effects on cell density, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) immunoreactivity and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor immunoreactivity. In the 1960s, Timiras developed a course on the physiology of aging, one of the first such courses in the United States. In 2001, at age 78, Timiras became one of the founding members of the Center for Research and Education on Aging at the University of California, Berkeley, for which she served as the first chair. Output and death
She contributed to or edited over 420 articles and 15 books before her death at the age of 85 of heart failure on September 12, 2008, after putting in a full day's work. Timiras had recently had heart valve replacement surgery. <mask>, her husband of nearly 50 years, who had earned a Ph.D. degree in Italian from UC Berkeley in 1978 (at age 66), died in 1996.They had a daughter and a son.

title: Caroline Schermerhorn Astor

texts:
<mask> "Lina<mask> (September 22, 1830 – October 30, 1908) was a prominent American socialite of the second half of the 19th century who led the Four Hundred. Famous for being referred to later in life as "the Mrs. Astor" or simply "Mrs. Astor", she was the wife of businessman, racehorse breeder/owner, and yachtsman <mask>. She was the mother of five children, including Colonel <mask> IV, who perished on the RMS Titanic. Through her marriage, she was a prominent member of the <mask> family and matriarch of the male line of American Astors. Early life

Lina was born on September 22, 1830 into a wealthy family who were part of New York City's Dutch aristocracy, descendants of the city's original settlers. Her father, <mask> (1783–1850), and the extended <mask> family were engaged in shipping. At the time of Lina's birth, Abraham was worth half a million dollars. Her mother was Helen Van Courtlandt (née White) <mask> (1792–1881).Lina was the couple's ninth child. Her older sister Elizabeth married General James I. Jones, who owned a vast farm in upper Manhattan called Jones's Wood. Her maternal grandparents were Henry White and Anne (née Van Cortlandt) White. Her paternal grandparents were <mask> and Elizabeth (née Bussing) <mask>. Among her extended Schermerhorn family was first cousin, William Colford <mask>, the father of <mask> Kane, wife of John Innes Kane (a great-grandson of John Jacob <mask>). At the time of her birth, her family lived at 1 Greenwich Street, near the Bowling Green, but the population growth and increasing urbanization of lower Manhattan in the 1830s led her family to move farther north to 36 Bond Street, near the ultra fashionable "Lafayette Place," which had been developed by her future husband's paternal grandfather, fur-trader John Jacob <mask>. Young Lina was educated at a school run by Mrs. Bensee, a French emigree.There she learned to speak French fluently. Marriage and family

On September 23, 1853, she married William Backhouse <mask> Jr. (1829–1892) at Trinity Church. Her husband was the middle son of real estate businessman William Backhouse <mask> Sr. and Margaret Alida Rebecca Armstrong. His paternal grandfather was John Jacob <mask> and his maternal grandparents were Senator John Armstrong Jr. and Alida (née Livingston) Armstrong, daughter of Robert Livingston of the Livingston family. Her husband's family, the Astors, had made a fortune initially through the fur trade, and later through investing in New York City real estate. Despite the wealth of the Astor family, Lina had the superior pedigree as a member of an old Knickerbocker family. Together, they had five children:
 <mask> (1854–1881), who married James John Van Alen (1848–1923), a sportsman/politician, and had three children
 <mask> <mask> (1855–1893), who married James Roosevelt "Rosy" Roosevelt (1854–1927), a diplomat and the elder half-brother of future President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and had two children
 Charlotte Augusta <mask> (1858–1920), who married James Coleman Drayton and had three children.She later married George Ogilvy Haig
 <mask> "Carrie" <mask> (1861–1948), who married Marshall Orme Wilson, the brother of banker Richard Thornton Wilson, Jr. and socialite Grace Graham Wilson, in 1884 and had two sons
 John Jacob "Jack<mask> IV (1864–1912), who married Ava Lowle Willing (1868–1958), a socialite, and had two children, later married socialite Madeleine Talmage Force (1893–1940), sister of real estate businesswoman/socialite Katherine Emmons Force, and had one son

Socialite
Although popularly imagined as wholly preoccupied with "Society", for the first several decades of her married life, Lina <mask> was principally occupied with raising her five children and running her household, as was typical of women of her class in mid-19th-century New York City. Due to an inheritance from her parents, Lina had her own money, thus she was far less dependent on her husband than most American women of the time. In 1862, she and her husband built a four-bay townhouse in the newly fashionable brownstone style at 350 Fifth Avenue, the present site of the Empire State Building. The home was next door to her husband's elder brother, John Jacob <mask> III; the two families were next-door neighbors for 28 years, although the Astor brothers' wives did not get along. The Astors also maintained a grand "summer cottage" in Newport, Rhode Island, called Beechwood, which had a ballroom large enough to fit "The 400" – the most fashionable socialites of the day. The Gatekeeper

In the decades following the Civil War the population of New York City grew almost exponentially, and immigrants and wealthy  arrivistes from the Midwest began challenging the dominance of the old New York Establishment. Aided by the social arbiter Ward McAllister, Lina attempted to codify proper behavior and etiquette, as well as determine who was acceptable among the arrivistes for an increasingly heterogeneous city.They were the champions of old money and tradition. McAllister once stated that, amongst the vastly rich families of Gilded Age New York, there were only 400 people who could be counted as members of Fashionable Society. He did not, as is commonly written, arrive at this number based on the limitations of Mrs. Astor's New York City ballroom. (McAllister, an Astor cousin by marriage, referred to her as the "Mystic Rose".) Her husband's lack of interest in the social whirl did not stop but instead fueled her burgeoning social activities, which increased in intensity as her children grew older. Lina was the foremost authority on the "Aristocracy" of New York in the late nineteenth century. She held ornate and elaborate parties for herself and other members of the elite New York socialite crowd.None was permitted to attend these gatherings without an official calling card from her. Lina's social groups were dominated by strong-willed "aristocratic" females. These social gatherings were dependent on overly conspicuous luxury and publicity. More so than the gatherings themselves, importance was highly placed upon the group as the upper-crust of New York's elite. She and her ladies therefore represented the "Aristocratic", or the Old Money, whereas the newly wealthy Vanderbilt family would establish a new wave of New Money. Relationship with the Vanderbilts
The Vanderbilts, as members of socialite New York through the copious amounts of money that the family had earned rather than inherited, represented a type of wealth that was abhorrent to Astor and her group. The Mrs. Astor found railroad money distasteful.For this reason, <mask> was reluctant to call upon the Vanderbilt girls. In 1883, however, <mask> was forced to formally acknowledge the wealthy socialite Alva Erskine Smith, first wife of horse breeder/railroad manager William Kissam Vanderbilt, thereby providing the Vanderbilts, the greatest "new" fortune in New York, entrance into the highest rungs of society. An oft-repeated New York legend has it that Alva Vanderbilt had planned an elaborate costume ball for her housewarming, with entertainments given by young society figures, but at the last minute notified young <mask> (Lina's youngest daughter) that she could not participate, because Astor had never formally called on Vanderbilt. Also likely, Astor had noted the rising social profile of the Vanderbilt family, led by Alva and Willie and, viewing them as useful allies in her efforts to keep New York society exclusive, had called formally on the Vanderbilts prior to Alva's lavish ball which Astor herself attended. The Vanderbilts were subsequently invited to Astor's annual ball, a formal acknowledgement of their full acceptance into the upper echelon of New York society. Use of "Mrs. Astor"
Until 1887, Lina <mask> had been formally known as "Mrs. William Astor", but with Charlotte Augusta Gibbes' death that year, she shortened her formal title to "Mrs. Astor", as she was then the senior Mrs. Astor, the only remaining one in her generation. Charlotte's son, William Waldorf <mask>, felt that his own wife, Mary "Mamie" Dahlgren Paul, should be "the Mrs.Astor." With the death of John Jacob <mask> III in 1890, William Waldorf <mask> had inherited his father's share of the Astor holdings and, titularly, became the head of the Astor family. In his mind, this made Mamie "The Mrs. Astor." However, Mamie was eighteen years younger than Lina and lacked Lina's social power. His further attempts at challenging Lina's preeminence in New York society, however, were thwarted, and he soon moved with his family to England, where he later became a viscount. Waldorf-Astoria Hotel

In retaliation for his aunt's intransigence, William Waldorf <mask> had his father's house torn down and replaced by the first Waldorf Hotel.The hotel was specifically designed to overshadow Mrs. <mask>'s mansion, which was right next door, in an attempt to overshadow her status with it. The Waldorf Hotel was thirteen stories tall and was built in the form of a German Renaissance chateau: it thus not only overshadowed Lina, but all other structures in the neighborhood as well. Mrs. <mask> famously stated about the hotel, "There's a glorified tavern next door." Until the opulence of the Waldorf Hotel revolutionized how New York socialized publicly, polite society did not gather in public places, especially hotels. Unwilling to live next door to New York's latest sensation and public draw, she and her son, Jack, first contemplated tearing down her house and replacing it with livery stables. Eventually she and Jack tore down their house and erected another hotel at its site, the Astoria, and soon the two hotels merged and became the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. <mask> consequently built a double mansion, one of the largest ever built in New York, for her and her son, with Mrs. Astor occupying the northern residence, 841 Fifth Avenue and her son occupying the southern half, 840 Fifth Avenue.The Astors' Fifth Avenue home and the Astoria Hotel were both eventually torn down in 1927 and 1928 to make way for Temple Emanu-El and the Empire State Building, respectively. Death
By the time she moved into her new house facing Central Park, at the corner of 65th Street, her husband had died, and she lived with her son and his family. Astor spent her last several years suffering from periodic dementia. She died at age 78 on October 30, 1908, and was interred in the Trinity Church Cemetery in southern Manhattan. Her youngest daughter, Carrie, erected a commemorative 39 foot tall (11.9 m) cenotaph in her memory, in addition to her uptown burial plot. The inscription is dated A.D. MDMXIV and the cenotaph is located within the small churchyard cemetery at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street, in which many prominent early Americans are buried. Following The Mrs. Astor's death, it reportedly took three women to fill her role in New York Society: Marion Graves Anthon Fish, the wife of Stuyvesant Fish, Theresa Fair Oelrichs, the wife of Hermann Oelrichs, and Alva Belmont, by then the wife of Oliver Belmont.References

While playing in a youth league match against Toulouse, Capoue drew the attention of the club's scouts who offered the player a one-week trial.Prior to agreeing to the internship, he was also approached by Lille, Auxerre, and Bordeaux. Capoue chose Toulouse because of the club's training facilities and the good weather. Toulouse

title: Emperor Zhang of Han

texts:
<mask> of Han (; 56 – 9 April 88) , born Liu Da (), was an emperor of the Chinese Han dynasty from 75 to 88. He was the third emperor of the Eastern Han. Emperor <mask> was a hardworking and diligent emperor. He reduced taxes and paid close attention to all affairs of state. <mask> also reduced government spending as well as promoted Confucianism. As a result, Han society prospered and its culture flourished during this period. Along with his father Emperor Ming, Emperor <mask>'s reign has been highly praised and was regarded as the golden age of the Eastern Han period, and their reigns are collectively known as the Rule of Ming and <mask>.During his reign, Chinese troops under the leadership of General Ban Chao progressed far west while in pursuit of Xiongnu insurgents harassing the trade routes now collectively known as the Silk Road. The Eastern Han dynasty, after Emperor <mask>, would be plagued with internal strife between royal factions and eunuchs struggling for power. The people for the coming century and a half would yearn for the good days of Emperors Ming and <mask>. (However, part of the strife came from the power obtained by consort clans – and the precedent was set by Emperor <mask>'s bestowing of power on both his adoptive mother Empress Dowager Ma's clan and his wife Empress Dou's clan.) Family background
Then-Prince Da was born to then-Crown Prince Liu Zhuang and one of his consorts, Consort Jia, in 56. As Crown Prince <mask>'s favorite, Consort Ma – Consort Jia's aunt (her mother's sister) – had no sons, at Crown Prince <mask>'s instruction, Consort Ma adopted Prince Da as her own son. Prince Da therefore grew up considering Consort Ma as his mother, and while he clearly knew that Consort Jia was his birth mother, he never treated her as mother.In 57, Prince Da's grandfather Emperor Guangwu died, and his father Crown Prince Zhuang succeeded to the throne as Emperor Ming. In 60, at the behest of his mother Empress Dowager Yin Lihua, Emperor Ming created Consort Ma empress, and Prince Da, as her son, was created crown prince, even though he had four brothers older than he was. As crown prince
Not much was recorded about Crown Prince Da's career as crown prince, other than he was taught of the Confucian classics at a young age and was encouraged in his studies by his adoptive mother, Empress Ma, with whom he had a close relation. He was also close to his uncles of the Ma clan. In 75, Emperor Ming died, and Crown Prince Da succeeded to the throne as Emperor <mask> at the age of 18. Empress Ma received the title of empress dowager. Early reign
Emperor <mask> continued his father's hardworking tendencies as emperor, but he was more lenient than his strict father.He sought out honest officials and promoted them, and he himself lived thriftily. He was generally humble and honored the senior officials who had served his grandfather and father faithfully in accordance. In 76, at the suggestion of his advisor Yang Zhong () and prime minister Diwu Lun (), Emperor <mask> ordered that his father's Xiyu (modern Xinjiang and former Soviet central Asia) campaigns be abandoned. However, one of the Han generals in Xiyu, Ban Chao, seeing the importance of maintaining Han presence in Xiyu, refused to withdraw, and Emperor <mask> eventually relented and put Ban in charge of Han's operations in Xiyu. Being close to his Ma uncles, Emperor <mask> wanted to create them marquesses from the early start of his reign. This was initially rebuffed by Empress Dowager Ma, who found this inappropriate. In 79, however, he created them marquesses over her objection and over their requests to only be made acting marquesses.In 77, Emperor <mask> took a daughter of his cousin, the Princess Piyang (), and great-granddaughter of the statesman Dou Rong (), as consort. He greatly loved her, and in 78, he created Consort Dou empress. In 79, Empress Dowager Ma, who had given him much good counsel, died. Even after her death, Emperor <mask> did not honor his birth mother Consort Jia as his mother, but merely permitted her to take on the style of an imperial prince. Palatial intrigue
After his mother's death, Emperor <mask> continued to be a diligent emperor, but within the palace, there was much struggle between Empress Dou and the other imperial consorts, which would create political instability down the road. While Empress Dowager Ma was alive, she selected two daughters of Song Yang () as consorts for Emperor <mask>. In 78, the elder Consort Song gave birth to a son named Liu Qing, and because Empress Dou was sonless, Prince Qing was created crown prince in 79.The Consorts Song were greatly favored by Empress Dowager Ma. Later in 79, however, Empress Dou would (perhaps remembering Empress Dowager Ma's example) adopt the son of another imperial consort, Consort Liang, Liu Zhao, as her own son, and she plotted, along with her mother Princess Piyang and her brothers, to have her adopted son made crown prince. After Empress Dowager Ma's death, she put her plan into action. She had her brothers collect dossiers on faults of the Song clan while bribing the servants and eunuchs of Consorts Song to gather their own faults. In 82, an opportunity came for Empress Dou. The elder Consort Song had become ill, and in her illness, she craved raw cuscuta, and she requested that her family bring them. Empress Dou seized the cuscuta and falsely accused Consort Song of using it for witchcraft.Emperor <mask> was enraged and expelled Crown Prince Qing from the palace. He had the Consorts Song arrested and interrogated by the eunuch Cai Lun. The Consorts Song saw that they were in deep straits, and they committed suicide by poison. Crown Prince Qing was deposed and created the Prince of Qinghe instead; he was replaced by Prince Zhao as crown prince. Prince Zhao, however, was friendly to his brother, and they often spent time together. The Song sisters would not be Empress Dou's only victims. After Prince Zhao was made crown prince, his birth mother's clan, the Liangs, did not dare to openly celebrate, but were secretly happy.When the Dou clan heard of this, they were displeased and fearful, and they felt that they had to destroy the Liangs. Empress Dou began to give false reports about Prince Zhao's birth mother, Consort Liang, and her sister, also an imperial consort, and they lost Emperor <mask>'s favor. In 83, the Dous further submitted false anonymous accusations against the Consorts Liang's father Liang Song (), causing him to die in prison. The Consorts Liang died of sadness and fear. The Dous, having made these powerplay, would eventually gain their goals of becoming even more powerful than they were. Also in 83, Emperor <mask>, having seen that his Ma cousins were not following the law, stopped favoring his Ma uncles, and eventually sent them back to their marches. Empress Dou's brothers Dou Xian () and Dou Du () effectively took over in the power structure – the first time in Han history that the empress' clan, rather than the empress dowager's clan, was the most powerful consort clan.This trend held sway for the rest of Eastern Han Dynasty and would prove to be a source of corruption. Late reign
However, Emperor <mask> himself remained fairly diligent and open-minded. For example, in 84, when two university students, Kong Xi () and Cui Yin () were accused of improperly criticizing his ancestor <mask> and, by criticizing Emperor Wu, making veiled criticism of Emperor <mask>, Emperor <mask> accepted the letter that Kong submitted in his own defense and made him an official in his administration. In 86, the first of the Qiang () rebellions began, and while the Qiang were pacified fairly quickly, this would be bad omen for the decades to come, as the Qiang, mistreated frequently by Han officials, would constantly rebel throughout the rest of the Eastern Han Dynasty and become a major factor in the decline of the Han Empire. In 88, Emperor <mask> died at the age of 32 and was succeeded by Crown Prince Zhao, who became Emperor He.

<mask>, Jr. (born November 14, 1945 in Washington, D.C.) is an American sculptor. He is best known for creating the encrypted Kryptos sculpture at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Biography
<mask>'s father was the head of exhibitions at the Library of Congress, and his mother was a concert pianist and photo researcher. He grew up in Alexandria and Arlington, Virginia, attending JEB Stuart High School in Fairfax, and then attended Randolph-Macon College, receiving a degree in paleontology, fine arts, and social anthropology in 1968, followed by a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from the Pratt Institute in 1971. He taught at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland, and then for nine years was the artist-in-residence at Glen Echo Park. Art
His artwork has been displayed at High Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. He has created sculptural works for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Themes in his work have included "making the invisible visible", with many sculptures focusing on topics such as magnetism, the coriolis effect, secret messages, and mysteries of atomic reactions. Sculptures
While in England studying archaeology, <mask> endeavored to create a structure out of stone to gain a better insight on Romanesque sculptures. From this he has created many works of art that deal with invisible forces. These include the coriolis effect and its use of Newton's laws of motion that govern the motion of an object in an inertial frame of reference. He has also worked on pieces that implemented the Earth's magnetic field using lodestones. Other sculptures have featured the science of cryptography. One of <mask>'s most famous cryptographic works, entitled Kryptos, is featured in Dan Brown's 2009 novel The Lost Symbol.The novel is one of books which includes Robert Langdon, the symbologist. Kryptos

Kryptos was the first cryptographic sculpture made by <mask>. It was presented to the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia on November 3, 1990. The sculpture has been both a puzzle and a mystery for those who hope to crack the cyphered messages contained within the sculpture's 2,000 alphabetic letters. Since Kryptos was erected, three of the four sections have been confirmed to have been solved. No one has yet been able to solve the remaining 97-character message. He has also said that should he die before the sculpture's code is cracked, there will be a "sort of historic record" left to verify the claim.Lux
Lux was built in 2001 at the Old Post Office Building in Fort Myers, Florida. Both cylinders are made of bronze and they stand as high as 8' with a diameter of 5'. Another work, Caloosahatchee Manuscripts, is in the same location. Exhibits
<mask> has also created works of art that reach into the realms of atomic energy and experimental physics. In Atomic Time: Pure Science and Seduction, he presented a "life-size re-creation of a hypothetical atomic lab." The exhibit featured the sculpture Critical Assembly, a three-dimensional representation of the components of an atomic bomb. The sculpture included a disassembled sphere that had been designed to hold the nuclear payload of plutonium and uranium.His next exhibit Terrestrial Physics, was to displayed in June 2010 as part of Denver, Colorado's Biennial of the Americas. It included a sculpture that is able to generate a 1 million volt potential difference. Utilizing a recreated Van de Graaff generator, <mask> created a fully functional particle accelerator capable of creating nuclear fission. Large-scale outdoor projects
In addition to designing intricate sculptures and exhibits, <mask> has also turned some of his large-scale outdoor art into an interactive experience. Coastline located at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland is one such piece. A recreation of a portion of Atlantic coastline, the waves experienced here are transferred in "real time" from a monitoring station at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. <mask> designed Indian run park located adjacent to the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Beltsville, Maryland with inspiration from the Iroquois Nations that inhabited the area nearly 900 years ago.On this site, hundreds of artifacts by the Iroquois have been discovered, and it is estimated that thousands still remain. The artist himself has also "seeded" 10,000 arrowheads within the grounds, allowing visitors the opportunity of taking a piece of this work of art with them. The park, named after the original Indian Run river that once existed there, includes a waterfall and walkway resembling the snaking waterway. Also, located within the park is a bronze cylindrical sculpture written in Onondaga language and "transcribed from the ancient oral tradition of the five Iroquois nations." At night it is illuminated with a pinpoint light that emits its text upon the surrounding environment. Literature
<mask>'s 2004 book, Atomic Time: Pure Science and Seduction, includes images detailing his exhibit Atomic Time: Pure Science and Seduction inspired by the Manhattan Project. Selected works
Kryptos, CIA, 1990.Embedded with four ciphers, it was intended to be a challenge to the employees of the CIA. Presently only three of the four messages have been deciphered.

<mask> (June 9, 1902 – August 25, 1980), a.k.a. "Champion of Hábeas Corpus," was an attorney and law professor at the University of Puerto Rico, a Senator in the Puerto Rico legislature, and counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union branch in Puerto Rico, established in 1937. He founded the Phi Sigma Alpha fraternity in Puerto Rico. Early years and education
Born in Salinas, Puerto Rico, <mask> received his elementary education in Salinas and in the towns of Patillas and Fajardo. His family moved to Rhode Island, where he graduated from East Greenwich Academy in 1923. He attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science. <mask> later studied law at Northwestern University near Chicago and earned his Juris Doctor in 1935.<mask> Semidey completed his Ph.D. in Law in 1938, while teaching as a professor in Columbia University. His doctoral thesis, titled Argentine Constitutional Law, was published by the Columbia University Press. Academic career
From 1928 to 1969, <mask> Semidey taught anthropology and law in the University of Puerto Rico. On October 22, 1928 he became a founding member of Phi Sigma Alpha fraternity and served as its first president. After several years, he returned to the United States for graduate study, completing a law degree at Northwestern and a PhD in law at Columbia University. Upon returning to Puerto Rico, amadeo Semidey taught in the law school at the university for more than 30 years. At the end of his career, he was awarded the title of Professor Emeritus.He wrote several book about the law (see Works below). Lawyer and expert
In 1937, a branch of the American Civil Liberties Union had been established in Puerto Rico following the United States investigation of the Ponce massacre. For many years, <mask> Semidey was the counsel for the ACLU and its leader in Puerto Rico. In 1939, <mask> Semidey, besides teaching in the UPR, established a private law practice. He became active in defending political prisoners. <mask> Semidey served as legal counselor to the Economic War Board in Puerto Rico during World War II; to various committees in the US Senate; to the delegation of the Partido Estadista Republicano (Republican Statehood Party), and to the Puerto Rican Status commission. On May 21, 1948, a bill was introduced before the Puerto Rican Senate which would restrain the rights of the independence and Nationalist movements on the archipelago.The Senate, which at the time was controlled by the Partido Popular Democrático (PPD), approved the bill that day. This bill, which resembled the anti-communist Smith Act passed in the United States in 1940, became known as the Ley de la Mordaza (Gag Law, technically "Law 53 of 1948") when the U.S.-appointed governor of Puerto Rico, Jesús T<mask>, signed it into law on June 10, 1948. <mask> Semidey challenged the resulting crackdown on the Nationalist Party and other dissidents. He used the hábeas corpus action, in order to expedite the release of Puerto Rican political prisoners, and to question the constitutionality of the Gag Law. He brought a habeas corpus action before the U.S. Supreme Court, on behalf of Enrique Ayoroa Abreu, who had been arrested following the Ponce massacre. <mask> Semidey and other attorneys also defended 15 members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party who were charged with violating this law. Political career
In 1960, <mask> Semidey first ran for the Puerto Rican Senate and was elected.He served for two terms, from 1961 to 1964, and authored numerous laws which clarified and strengthened the civil rights of Puerto Ricans. This included Concurrent Resolution 1, which created the Civil Rights Commission in both the Senate and the Camera of Representatives of Puerto Rico. Four of his five policy recommendations were incorporated into the U.S. Federal Financial Law of 1966. U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson gave <mask> Semidey the presidential pen, with which he signed the statute. Later years
In 1971, President Richard M. Nixon, honored <mask> Semidey with an "Honor Designation" for the contributions which he made to the fields of International Criminology and Criminal Justice. <mask> Semidey died in San Juan on August 25, 1980. He was buried at Buxeda Cemetery in Carolina, Puerto Rico.Legacy
The government of Puerto Rico commissioned a statue of him in his honor. The Judicial Court of San Juan was named for him, as Edificio Doctor <mask>. Amadeo. *His hometown of Salinas named a street in his honor. 2008 the government of Puerto Rico established June 9, his birthday, to be celebrated annually as "<mask> P. Amadeo Birthday Commemoration." The Puerto Rico Bar Association headquarters has a statue of him in the lobby. Selected writings

title: Tado (comedian)

texts:
Arvin Impuesto Jimenez (March 24, 1974 – February 7, 2014), known mononymously as <mask>, was a Filipino comedian, actor, radio personality, businessman, published author and activist. His nickname "<mask>" comes from a Tagalog expletive (tarantado) that he frequently blurts out. <mask> was primarily known for the offbeat television program Strangebrew and the U92 radio program The BrewRATs!. Early life and career
Prior to fame, <mask> had worked on various odd jobs such as a staff in a mental hospital, a waiter, a scriptwriter for television and a photojournalist. <mask> graduated from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) with a degree in Psychology. He was an active member of Scouts Royale Brotherhood (SRB) International Service Fraternity and Sorority under the waving banner of Beta Tau Chapter. He was engaged in social issues as a student organizer of Sanlakas.While in PUP, <mask> was influenced by his artist friends, causing him to be involved in theater, painting and photography. This led to the founding of the now-defunct PUP-based cultural organization called PANDAY PIRA (Pandayan ng Pilipinong Kultura). He eventually studied film making at the Mowelfund Institute. <mask> later co-founded Dakila ("Noble"), an artists group aiming to instill modern-day heroism in everyday people, with poet Lourd de Veyra, bassist for Parokya ni Edgar, Buwi Meneses and acclaimed actor, Ronnie Lazaro. <mask> also dabbled in music and had appeared once as the lead vocalist of The Youth as with original vocalist Dodong Cruz's consent. He and the band appeared on the GMA Network program Unang Hirit, singing the band's hit "Multong Bakla" ("gay ghost"). Showbiz career

Strangebrew
<mask> became involved in television with the premiere of the off-the-wall magazine show Strangebrew in the then-NU 107 operated UNTV Channel 37, with Angel Rivero as his co-host, in 2001.His maroon Volkswagen Beetle took him and Rivero throughout Metro Manila on an adventure with "a unique cartoony look, a caustic wit" with "a weird sense of humor." Strangebrew and Tado became a cult hit until the show was canceled a year later, with him enshrined as a pop culture icon. In almost all episodes whenever they interview a certain person, Tado throws his famous question "Kuya/ate, sa tagal mo nang ginagawa itong trabaho na ito, umibig ka na ba?" The BrewRATs! He was reunited with Rivero (along with occasional Strangebrew contributor, Ramon Bautista) in Hit 99.5 FM's (now 99.5 Play FM) late-night talk show The BrewRATs! in which is a pun on the Tagalog slang of the male genitalia. Even with Hit FM's reformatting to 99.5 Campus FM and finally reverting to its old 99.5 RT callsign, the show was consistently placed on the station's roster of shows, and consistently occupying the late-night slot until it was moved to the morning slot from August to September 2009.On October 1, 2009, The BrewRATs! resurfaced on U92, the radio affiliate of MTV Philippines, of which Bautista was a personality of The Ramon Bautista Show. It went off the air a second time as a result of U92's reformat to Radyo5 92.3 News FM and has since become a show at the internet radio station DigRadio every Thursday from 9 PM to midnight.
