Chén Xīliè () (died February 11, 758) was an official of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong. During the An Shi Rebellion, he surrendered to An Lushan and served as chancellor of An's state of Yan at Luoyang. After Tang forces recaptured Luoyang, he was forced to commit suicide. Background
It is not known when <mask>lie was born, but it is known that he was from Sòng Prefecture (宋州, roughly modern Shangqiu, Henan). However, nothing else is known about his family, as no family tree was given for him in the table of the chancellors' family trees in the New Book of Tang. <mask> was known to be well-studied, particularly in Taoism-related mysticism, and was also a capable writer. During Emperor Xuanzong's reign
During the middle of Emperor Xuanzong's Kāiyuán era (713-741), Emperor Xuanzong was interested in the classic texts, and often had scholars explain the texts to him.Originally, this was done by the officials Chǔ Wúliàng () and Yuán Xíngchōng (). After Chu died in 719 and Yuan died in 729, Emperor Xuanzong engaged <mask> and Féng Cháoyǐn () to frequently explain the Tao Te Ching and the I Ching to him. <mask> was initially promoted to be Mìshū Shàojiān (), the deputy head of the Palace Library, and also succeeded Zhang Jiuling in heading the imperial institute Jíxián Institute (). Whenever Emperor Xuanzong was writing something of importance, <mask> would assist him in drafting the language. In 742, when the official Tián Tóngxiù () reported seeing an appearance of Laozi above Dānfèng Gate (), <mask> was one of the officials who submitted a statement flattering Emperor Xuanzong for the holiness of his reign. In 746, after the chancellor Li Shizhi was removed from office due to machinations by his colleague Li Linfu, Li Linfu believed that <mask> had a subservient personality and would be easy to control, and therefore recommended <mask> to succeed Li Shizhi. Emperor Xuanzong gave <mask> the designation Tóng Zhōngshū Ménxià Píngzhāngshì (), making <mask> a chancellor de facto.It was said that <mask> followed Li Linfu's directions in all matters and that <mask> merely signed all documents that Li Linfu wanted him to sign. Later, he was made Zuǒ Xiàng (), the head of the examination bureau and a post considered one for a chancellor, as well as the minister of defense (兵部尚書, Bīngbù Shàngshū). He was created the Duke of Yǐngchuān (). By 752, however, <mask> was instead aligned with the rising Yang Guozhong—the cousin of Emperor Xuanzong's favorite concubine Consort Yang Yuhuan—against Li Linfu. When Li Linfu's close associate Wáng Hóng () was implicated in a rebellion plot contrived by his brother Wáng Hàn (), Li Linfu tried to extricate him, but <mask> and Yang insisted that Wang Hong was guilty and should be further investigated, eventually leading to Wang Hong's being forced to commit suicide. Further, both <mask> and Geshu Han also accused Li Linfu of associating with another general who rebelled around that time, the ethnically Tujue general Lǐ Xiànzhōng (). This added to the apprehension that Li Linfu had at that point about Yang's rising power, and Li Linfu died in fear around the new year 753.After Li Linfu's death, <mask> continued to serve as chancellor, along with Yang, but actual power was wielded by Yang. It was said that all important matters were decided at Yang's mansion, not at the office of the chancellors. Meanwhile, when Yang was able to successfully posthumously implicate Li Linfu in Li Xianzhong's rebellion, causing Li Linfu to be posthumously dishonored and his family to be exiled, Yang and <mask> were created greater ducal titles—in <mask>'s case, the Duke of Xu—to award them for "discovering" Li Linfu's plot. Meanwhile, though, Yang was apprehensive of <mask> as well, and therefore tried to squeeze him out of power entirely. <mask> himself was apprehensive and therefore offered to resign. In 754, Emperor Xuanzong made <mask> a senior advisor to his son Li Heng the Crown Prince and removed him from his chancellor position, replacing him with Wei Jiansu. During Anshi Rebellion
In 755, the military governor (jiedushi) An Lushan rebelled at Fànyáng.In 756, after declaring himself emperor of a new state of Yan, he advanced on the capital Chang'an, forcing Emperor Xuanzong to flee. After his forces entered Chang'an, <mask>, who was distressed over not being in an important position at that time, submitted to An, along with the officials Zhāng Jūn () and Zhāng Jì (). An had them delivered to Luoyang, which he had made his capital, and made <mask> and Zhang Ji chancellors. In 757, by which time An Lushan's son Ān Qìngxù was the emperor of Yan and Lǐ Hēng was the emperor of Tang (as Emperor Sùzōng), Tang counterattacks, led by  Emperor Suzong's son Lǐ Chù the Prince of Guǎngpíng and with Uyghur assistance, recaptured Luoyang. Some 300 former Tang officials who had accepted Yan offices, including <mask>, changed into mourning clothes and begged for forgiveness. Li Chu had them released, but soon had them escorted to Chang'an, which was by then again Tang's capital. After they formally paid respect to Emperor Suzong and apologized, they were delivered to the supreme court and placed under arrest.They were tried jointly by the officials Lǐ Xiàn, Lǚ Yīn, and Cuī Qì (). Cui and Lü proposed that all of them be executed. Li Xian opposed, instead proposing six different grades of punishment, and Emperor Suzong accepted Li Xian's proposal. 18 officials were beheaded, while <mask> and six others were ordered to commit suicide. It was said that <mask> was allowed to commit suicide rather than being publicly executed because Emperor Suzong remembered how Emperor Xuanzong had favored him. Notes and references

title: Antun Stipančić

<mask> "Tova" <mask> (Duga Resa, 18 May 1949 – Zagreb, 20 November 1991) was a highly accomplished Croatian / Yugoslav professional table tennis player. Table Tennis career
He was one of the most renowned personalities in the history of the competition, earning him the nickname "the golden left hand of Croatian sport". A table tennis child prodigy who was proclaimed "Best Croatian Sportsman" in 1975, he was National Championship winner numerous times, three times European Champion in doubles, World Champion in men's doubles in 1979  (<mask>urbek), and World Championship silver medalist in singles in 1975. Early years
<mask> was born in Duga Resa, a small industrial town in central Croatia's Karlovac County (at the time of his birth, and until summer-autumn 1991, Croatia was one of six republics constituting Yugoslavia). His family of five — father Ivan, a janitor at the football club, mother Franca and two younger brothers, Marijan and Ivica — had a difficult time trying to make ends meet. They lived in very modest circumstances in a damp apartment located at the football (soccer) playground which shared its location with the hall of the Table Tennis Club (TTC) "Duga Resa". At the end of the 1950s, a group of sport enthusiasts led by Josip Trupković, Josip Stojković and Dragutin Vrana brought inspiration to the little-noted town and its young people with a new sport - table tennis.The TTC "Pamučna industrija" was born and its priority was to coach the next generation. As time passed and word began to spread, more and more curiosity seekers began to visit the table tennis halls to see with their own eyes the Duga Resa youngster, called "the wonder kid". "Tova" <mask> won his first tournament at the age of 12 in 1961, playing in Karlovac League's cadet category and, a few months later, was the best at Zagreb's "Ribnjak". Fame at the age of 16

The crucial year was 1965. In that year the famous Japanese expert Ichiro Ogimura visited Duga Resa, leading a strong selection which enraptured the overcrowded table tennis hall. <mask> recalled that "Ogimura impressed me with his easy way of moving around and attacking although at that time he passed his best days in table tennis". Another direct contact with a great player occurred at the world championships in Ljubljana in which Tova played for the first time.As chosen by lot, or by accident, he had to play against the world champion Zhuang Zedong. He later confessed that his knees could not hold him, but nevertheless he scored some very good points, which brought him compliments from the Chinese champion. He tapped Tova on the shoulder and they were photographed together, despite the lopsided result (8:21, 11:21, 14:21). After a passage of only five years, at the very same Tivoli hall, <mask> would now be the champion, thoroughly defeating the legendary Chuang Tse Tung. In 1965, at the age of 16, was no longer a youngster — he grew a few centimeters and became stronger for a few points. At the Open Championships of Poland in Krakow he won his first important international match — in the second round he defeated the European champion Swede Kjell Johanson 24:22 in the fifth set, winning Johanson's two match balls. And as <mask> <mask> firmly stepped forward onto the world table tennis scene,  the highest world authorities agreed that he would have a brilliant career.In 1966 Tova was a member of the national team to the European Championships in Wembley. That year he won two medals on The Youth European Championships in Szombathely — gold, playing mixed doubles with Mirjana Resler and silver, playing doubles with Zlatko Čordaš. At that point, Tova devoted all his attention to studying and graduating from Textile High School. He succeeded and then felt free to turn all his effort to sport and the excitement that sport brings. He played with a great deal of enthusiasm at the 1968 Championat de Europe at Lyon Sport Hall. He was very good in team events and still better in a completely unplanned double. The Association at the time made a new combination Korpa - Šurbek which was triumphant in Europe, while Tova, they decided, should play with Edvard Vecko, although they never trained or played before.Tova recalled, "...unburdened, without high pretensions we played you can say for our pleasure. In the final "round" we played against Swedish experts Johanson and Alser who did not lose a single match in two last world championships. We played the whole match offensively, well, firmly. The result went like this, 21:17, 20:22, 22:20 and 21:14! A big applause from the objective spectators in Palais des Sportes was a great reward. What an unforgettable reception at the Pleso airport and again in Duga Resa! I had to make a speech at the improvised platform, everyone was there...."

High points of career as a professional player
During summer 1970 came the unexpected decision, although not so unexpected among table tennis officials: Tova left his "Pamučna industrija" club and became a member of TTC "Vjesnik".The basic reason for moving from the smaller club to the larger one was the need for an adequately strong sparring partner (and none was more suitable than Šurbek or Čordaš), as well as the great challenge of taking part in The European Cup. With the new uniform he put on, there was still another major event: not long afterwards Tova <mask> was married... As 1971 began, he moved to Zagreb, recalling that "...the new surrounding, new habits, days of great changes... was time for thinking". The year's end was topped off with a glamorous prize: <mask> celebrating a first class victory at the International Tournament in Zagreb's "Box of Matches" Hall. Journalists lavished him with headlines - "Tova's Scalping Chinese", "Stipančić Over the Chinese Great Wall", "The Ball Caught Fire". <mask> smashed Chinese Zhou Lansun and Li Furong, in the semi-finals he defeated Šurbek and, in the finals, the celebrated Zhuang Zedong: 16:21, 21:12 and 21:12, experiencing ecstatic ovations from the overjoyed Zagreb spectators. In 1972 Zagreb played host to a tournament which brought together the top European table tennis players. It was a complete success in organization and results.It was a top show, with "Europe's Top Twelve" in Zagreb's Trešnjevka sport hall.... and Tova was in the leading role! He broke all the barriers and won the trophy which was presented to him by Reno Vinek, the editor of Sportske Novosti. On the world stage in 1975-80
In 1975 India built the Netaji Indoor Stadium, a 12,000-seat domed arena, specifically for the World Championships at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. There, Tova is considered to have played the matches of his life...  At the quarter-finals - a "match for the gourmet" - Hsi En Ting, the title defender left the arena totally defeated by Tova in a rarely seen match, 3:2. In the next game - and it was the semi-final, <mask> played against the excellent Japanese defender Takashima. <mask>'s superior play brought victory in 5 sets ! Then came the long-awaited finals.In the crowded hall, "the war" between 25-year-old <mask> <mask> and the year-younger Istvan Jonyer. It was an excellent opportunity Tova's expertise, but some had doubts. Since Tova had defeated the robust "Hungarian Hussar" only  a few days earlier in the team events, he had a certain psychological advantage, but there was uncertainty whether he would be able to use it. In the first set Jonyer started nervously and "hard", and <mask> collected points from semi distance, 4:2, 9:5, 13:7, 18:15 and 21:17. There was happiness on <mask>'s bench as the Hungarian seemed nervous and played shackled, while <mask> was winning his points "by blocking and controlling the situation firmly" winning the second set 21:12. 2:0! But Jonyer succeeded in catching up with <mask>, 2:2!There was palpable drama in the deciding fifth set! The Zagreb player from Duga Resa inched closer to victory as he led 16:15, 18:17... but Istvan played well, took risks, returned undependable balls, came to 18:20, and then missed one counter ball, 19:20. There was silence in the hall. Again a strong top spin attack, Tova's ball hit the net... Jonyer was the winner, Tova the silver medalist. In 1979 Tova flew to Pyongyang with his national team to the World Championship in Pyongyang with his national team. "Why not try again? ", he explained."I always fought more with my hand and heart than with my legs" and the medal hunters, the experienced double Šurbek – <mask> were off to win the table tennis Mount Everest! At the finals of the men's doubles, Tova and Šurba were on one side and two very well known competitors, Hungarian aces Klampar and Jonyer, were on the other. European finals held on Asian grounds. Victory for the Yugoslav team came with 3 sets to 0, and they were acclaimed as table tennis immortals for all time. The victors searched for appropriate words, and Tova, raising his voice said, "Men, I finally experienced it, we are the real champions. Nobody could take us a set." The following year, at the 1980 European Championships in Bern Tova won two medals playing doubles, but sportswriters pointed out that he showed his true sport greatness in the fifth set.At 19:19 he gave up the ball in favor of the English player Paul Day, although the referee decided the opposite. For that sport gesture he got "The Fair Play Trophy R. Bergmann". <mask> <mask> died in Zagreb at the age of 42. Legacy
Tova was seen as belonging to the entire world. Generations of table tennis players from every continent remember him — whether they played against him or enjoyed his brilliant moves at the green table. With his individuality and outstanding sport results, Tova <mask> left an indelible trace, becoming part of sport history, of the world, of Croatia and of his Duga Resa. He won 27 medals, 11 medals from world championships;  1 gold, 4 silver, 6 bronze; and 16 medals from European championships (4,3,9).Additionally, he won 48 medals at international tournaments in all categories.

She graduated  in Philosophy from the University of Bologna in 1983. In the following years she attended the Phd courses in political theory at the Turin University as well as the Phd courses in political philosophy at The New School in New York. She  received her PhD in History of Political Thought from Turin University in 1989. In 2004 she was appointed Full Professor of History of Political Philosophy at the University of Eastern Piedmont. In 2020, she was appointed Full Professor of Political Philosophy at the Scuola Normale Superiore, in Pisa, Italy.She is one of the founding members of FINO”, a PhD Program in Philosophy coordinated by the Northwestern Italian University Consortium, and  the standing president of Bios, an international and interdisciplinary research center on biopolitics and  bioethics based at the University of Piemonte Orientale. Research interests

<mask> <mask> is widely recognized in Italy and aboard for her far-reaching studies on Hannah Arendt’s thought and the philosophical idea of Totalitarianism. In recent years she has given important contributions to the  debate on [biopolitics] launched by Michel Foucault, by focusing on Nazi biopolitics of the souls and democratic biopolitics of the bodies. In her last volume, "New Demons: Rethinking Power and Evil Today," translated into English and published by Stanford University Press in 2015, she deals with the contemporary reshaping of the notion of Evil. In the Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, Brad Evans (University of Bath) began his review of the book by stating, "<mask> <mask>'s book is a sophisticated and theoretically rich text, which demands wide readership." <mask> offers a new and inspiring genealogy of the relationship between evil and power, contending that evil must be explored in tandem with the passive attitude towards rule-following, the need for normalcy and recognition, the desire to stay alive at all costs, and the desire for obedience nurtured by our contemporary mass democracies. From 2003 to 2011 <mask> <mask> was elected as member of the jury for “Der Hannah-Arendt Preis für politischen Denken” at  the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Bremen and Berlin.From 2004 to 2007 she served as the Italian member of the Coordinating  “International Committee of the European Science Foundation Network Activity on "The Politics and History of European Democratization"  (PHED) for the European Science Foundation. She has  held visiting appointments at many European and American universities.

title: Shi Yi (Eastern Wu)

texts:
<mask> ( 190s – 240s), courtesy name Ziyu, was an official of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Life under the Eastern Han dynasty
<mask> was from Yingling County (), Beihai State (), Qing Province, which is located southeast of present-day Changle County, Shandong. He was born sometime in the late Eastern Han dynasty. He started his career in the 190s as an assistant official in the county office before progressing to serve in the commandery office under Kong Rong, who was then the Chancellor of Beihai State. <mask>'s original family name was <mask> (). When Kong Rong heard about it, he made fun of <mask>'s family name, saying that the character shi () had one stroke less than the character min (), and suggested that <mask> change his family name to the similar sounding <mask> () instead. <mask> heeded Kong Rong's suggestion.The Eastern Jin dynasty historian Xu Zhong () criticised both of them for <mask>'s changing of his family name and said that it was disrespectful to their ancestors. Around the mid-190s, when chaos broke out in Qing Province, and travelled south to the Jiangdong region, where he took shelter under Liu Yao, the Governor of Yang Province. After Liu Yao was defeated by the warlord Sun Ce in 195, <mask> left him and settled down in Kuaiji Commandery (around present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang). In the year 200, after Sun Ce's death, his younger brother Sun Quan succeeded him and became the new warlord ruling over the Jiangdong territories. Around this time, Sun Quan sent <mask> an elegantly written letter, asking <mask> to join him. <mask> agreed and became a Cavalry Commandant () under Sun Quan. As Sun Quan highly trusted <mask>, he made <mask> privy to classified information.In 219, when Sun Quan's general Lü Meng proposed a plan to defeat a rival general Guan Yu and seize control of southern Jing Province, Sun Quan sought <mask>'s opinion on Lü Meng's plan. <mask> agreed with Lü Meng's plan and advised Sun Quan to adopt it. Sun Quan then commissioned <mask> as a Colonel of Loyalty and Righteousness () and ordered him to accompany Lü Meng on the campaign. When <mask> thanked Sun Quan for his trust in him, the latter said, "I may not be a Viscount Jian of Zhao, but does that mean you can't be a Zhou She?" Life in Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period
After the successful conquest of southern Jing Province, Sun Quan relocated the capital of his territories to Wuchang (武昌; present-day Ezhou, Hubei), which was in southern Jing Province. In the same year, Sun Quan pledged nominal allegiance to Cao Pi, the emperor of the Cao Wei state, which had replaced the Eastern Han dynasty. In return, Cao Pi made Sun Quan a vassal king under the title "King of (Eastern) Wu" ().Sun Quan then promoted <mask> to Major-General (), appointed him as a Palace Attendant (), and enfeoffed him as a Marquis of a Chief Village (). Later, when Sun Quan wanted to put <mask> in command of more troops, <mask> firmly declined as he knew that he was not suitable to be a military commander. In 222, Sun Quan broke ties with Cao Pi and declared independence in his Eastern Wu kingdom. Sometime between 222 and 229, he sent <mask> to Wan County (皖縣; present-day Qianshan County, Anhui) to join the general Liu Shao (). In one battle, Wu forces led by Liu Shao and <mask> lured the Wei general Cao Xiu and his troops into a trap and defeated them. After the battle, Sun Quan promoted <mask> to Lieutenant-General () and recalled him to Wuchang to serve in the imperial secretariat, one of the key organs of the central government. Later, he put <mask> in charge of his sons' education.In 229, Sun Quan declared himself emperor of the Eastern Wu state. In October that year, he moved the imperial capital from Wuchang (武昌; present-day Ezhou, Hubei) to Jianye (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu) and left the crown prince Sun Deng in charge of Wuchang. <mask> remained in Wuchang as an adviser to Sun Deng, who highly respected him and frequently consulted him on policy matters. He was also elevated from the status of a village marquis to a Marquis of a Chief District (). Later, he accompanied Sun Deng when Sun Quan summoned them to Jianye, where <mask> was appointed as a Palace Attendant () and Central Upholder of the Law (). <mask> served in the imperial secretariat and performed duties similar to those when he was in Wuchang before 229. Sometime in the 230s, Lü <mask>, the supervisor of the audit bureau, falsely accused Diao Jia (), the Administrator of Jiangxia Commandery (江夏郡; around present-day Wuhan, Hubei), of defaming the imperial court.Sun Quan was so furious when he heard about it that he had Diao Jia arrested and imprisoned. During the interrogation, when Diao Jia's colleagues were asked whether they heard him defame the imperial court, they all said they did, because they feared retaliation from Lü <mask> if they said no. <mask>, however, insisted that he did not hear Diao Jia say anything defamatory. As the investigation dragged on for days, the tone of the imperial edicts issued by Sun Quan on this issue became increasingly harsh and stern, to the point where <mask>'s colleagues feared for his life. <mask> remained unfazed and told Sun Quan, "The sword's blade is now on my neck. Why would I dare to conceal the truth, seek my own death, and end up becoming a disloyal ghost? I only hope that everyone will see the truth."When he was questioned, he answered truthfully and gave consistent responses. Sun Quan eventually believed <mask> and spared Diao Jia. The Eastern Jin dynasty historian Xu Zhong () praised <mask> for maintaining his integrity, standing by his moral principles, and showing moral courage in such a life-threatening situation. In 234, Zhuge Liang, the Imperial Chancellor of Eastern Wu's ally state Shu Han, died of illness during the Battle of Wuzhang Plains against their rival state Cao Wei. In the same year, Sun Quan sent <mask> as an emissary to Shu to extend his condolences and reaffirm the Wu–Shu alliance against Wei. <mask> performed well on his diplomatic mission. After he returned to Wu, Sun Quan appointed him as Supervisor of the Masters of Writing ().In 242, Sun Quan designated his third and eldest surviving son, Sun He, as the new crown prince to replace Sun Deng, who died in the previous year. In the same year, he also enfeoffed his fourth son, Sun Ba, as the Prince of Lu. At the time, <mask> served as a tutor () to Sun Ba. When he saw that Sun Ba received equal treatment as Sun He, he felt that it was highly inappropriate because according to Confucian rules of propriety, Sun He, as the Crown Prince, should be accorded greater honours and privileges as compared to Sun Ba. He wrote memorials to Sun Quan on a number of occasions, recommending the emperor to let Sun Ba assume greater responsibilities and groom him to become an important pillar of the state. As Sun Ba's tutor, he gave proper advice to the prince and performed his role in a professional manner. At the same time, he also carried out his other duties diligently and treated everyone respectfully.As <mask> became critically ill towards the end of his life, he said that he wanted to have a very simple funeral, to be buried in a coffin of simple design, and to be dressed in the clothes he normally wore. He died in an unknown year at the age of 81 (by East Asian age reckoning). Appraisal
<mask> was known for leading a frugal and humble lifestyle. Unlike many other officials, he did not accumulate wealth for his family and never accepted financial aid from others. He was content with having only basic necessities. Sun Quan once went on a tour of <mask>'s neighbourhood and saw a large mansion. When he asked who the owner of the mansion was, someone told him it was <mask>.However, Sun Quan said that it was definitely not <mask>, given his lifestyle. He was proven right. <mask> wore very simple clothing and had simple meals every day. He also enjoyed helping the needy so he often donated or gave away his personal savings to the poor. When Sun Quan heard about it, he visited <mask>'s house and sampled the meals <mask> had every day. After the visit, he increased <mask>'s salary, gave him more rewards and a larger plot of land. However, <mask> rejected these rewards and gifts and said that he would feel uneasy if he accepted them.Throughout his service in the Wu government, <mask> had never made any mistake before. When Lü <mask>, the supervisor of the audit bureau, was looking for flaws in officials' work so that he could maliciously make a case and accuse them of something, he could find at least four problems with the work of every official he accused. However, when it came to <mask>'s work, he could not find a single flaw. Sun Quan also once sighed, "If everyone were like <mask>, would there still be a need for laws, rules and regulations?" Whenever <mask> recommended talents to Sun Quan, he only pointed out their strengths and said nothing about their weaknesses. Sun Quan thus chided him for not saying anything about their weaknesses and not making judgments about them. In response, <mask> said, "Your Majesty, as your subject, my duty is to perform my role well.I am always worried about not being competent in my role. (I keep my opinions about their weaknesses to myself because) I don't want to let my ignorance and limited knowledge affect Your Majesty's judgment about them." Chen Shou, the historian who wrote <mask>'s biography, among others, in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, appraised <mask> as follows: "<mask> was one of the highly capable and competent officials serving under Sun Quan. He was also known for his virtuous and upright moral character." See also

title: Tom Danley

texts:
Thomas J<mask> (born 1952) is an American audio engineer, electrical engineer and inventor, the holder of multiple patents for audio transducers, especially high-linearity, high-output professional horn loudspeaker systems. <mask> first gained notice in the 1980s with his novel servomotor-driven subwoofer systems used to reproduce very low frequencies in concert tours and theme parks. In 2000 he advanced the implementation of multiple-entry horns in 2000 with several designs led by the SPL-td1, a seven-driver loudspeaker. In 2005, he started a new company, Danley Sound Labs, through which he patented further technologies and produced a wide variety of loudspeaker models based on these technologies. Early life and career
<mask> was raised in the northern area of Illinois, around Highland Park, north of Chicago. His father and brother were mechanically inclined, and taught Danley how to use the workshop tools. Danley studied mechanisms by taking them apart, and he learned to arc weld by age 12.He attended Deerfield High School, obtaining his diploma in five years instead of four. He later said, "I took every shop class there was, but I had an attendance problem and math was my weakest thing." One of his friends from mechanical drawing class was T.C. Furlong, who later became an equipment manufacturer and event production company owner. During and after high school, Danley worked as an electronic technician, and he played bass guitar in several bands. He fabricated his own tube amplifiers. After a few years, he joined Steamer Sound, the audio production company founded in 1973 by Furlong.<mask> designed loudspeakers for the company, and for individual musicians such as keyboardist Joan Gand. In 1974, he brought a reel-to-reel tape recorder to the Alley, a nightclub in Highwood owned by Furlong, to record the performance of the John Burns Band (the son of Jethro Burns) as he mixed their set. <mask> was amazed when he listened to the tape after the show; the tape held a wider frequency range, a higher fidelity experience than was heard at the nightclub. He realized that the loudspeakers must have been a significant limiting factor. <mask> left Steamer Sound to work as an electronics technician at Data Specialties in Northbrook, where in 1976 he first used a computer – a Commodore VIC-20 – to write a program to perform the math calculations he needed at work. He was repairing teleprinters and punch card readers, and had almost given up on concert audio in his career. Intersonics
In 1979, a co-worker recommended a job offering nearby at Intersonics, a contractor to NASA, supplying hardware for rocketry research.<mask> invented many devices while at Intersonics, obtaining 17 patents. The inventions include a high-powered acoustic levitator, a sonic-boom generator used by BBN Technologies, and a multi-enclosure Flow Modulator loudspeaker system used by Georgia Tech Research Institute and NASA for vibration tests on rocket payloads. Danley designed and built major components of the payload on Space Shuttle flights STS-7 in 1983 and STS-51-A in 1984. ServoDrive
<mask> experimented on his own with a loudspeaker based on the servomotor, and showed the third prototype to his employer. When he asked permission to use this technology to create a subwoofer product line for concerts and touring sound systems, Intersonics president Roy Whymark said yes, but only if the effort did not interfere with <mask>'s other responsibilities at Intersonics. Danley designed a variety of models including W bins, seeing the most success with the folded horn BassTech 7 subwoofer which performed very well. ServoDrive became the professional audio division of Intersonics.The BassTech 7 was used to great acclaim by Clair Brothers on the North American legs of Michael Jackson's Thriller tour and U2's the Unforgettable Fire tour, both in 1984. Clair typically used a dozen Danley subwoofers as the lowest element of a 5-way system, to fill the bottom octave. Other large purchasers of the BassTech 7 included Disney with about 500 units in Europe and the U.S., and in Las Vegas, the hotels Mirage and Treasure Island which used the BassTech 7 for special effects. The BassTech 7 drive unit was essentially a cube holding two opposing 15-inch woofers, both connected to a central servo motor by way of shafts and flexible belts. The enclosure included Danley's patented cooling fan powered by a DC-rectified portion of the audio signal, kicking in only at high voltage levels. The servo motors in the subwoofer allowed for 3 to 4 times as much peak-to-peak deflection of the woofer cones, compared to what was available at the time with conventional magnetic coil woofers. Additionally, the servo design greatly reduced the common problem of power compression, in which a driver heats up and sound output drops.The servo motor can change direction very quickly, easily allowing an upper frequency response of 125 Hz down to 28 Hz with less than 2% harmonic distortion. Trouble arose with the belt material, which was modified several times by the supplier without notice, resulting in driver failures. Both Intersonics and the ServoDrive division grew in the mid-1980s. A turning point was the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, which damped the mood and the business climate in the aerospace industry, and brought delays and cancellations of contracts. Around 1986 a request came in to Intersonics from Cornell University for a low frequency subwoofer loudspeaker intended to reproduce elephant vocalizations in Kenya. Dr. Joyce Poole and Katy Payne of the Amboseli Elephant Research Project asked for a custom loudspeaker that would fit inside a sport utility vehicle, and provide strong output down to 14 Hz. <mask> designed the Pachyderm 6, an enclosure with two 15-inch drivers connected to a servo motor, and four 18-inch passive radiators.The output at 14 Hz was measured at about 115 dB with about 200 watts from the amplifier. Based on this, another subwoofer model produced by ServoDrive was the Contrabass in 1987, similar to the Pachyderm 6 but with a smaller enclosure and half the number of passive radiators. The frequency response also reached down to 14 Hz. The Contrabass was popular for home theater installations, including George Lucas' home. An unusual characteristic of the Contrabass was that its distortion components went down as sound pressure level went up, until 105 decibels was reached. Sound Physics Labs
Intersonics determined to close the ServoDrive division, as it was considered a distraction from aerospace work. To save the firm, <mask> teamed with Bradford Skuran, a guitarist he had played with in his youth, to form a new company: Sound Physics Labs (SPL).SPL bought ServoDrive and continued to produce and service the subwoofers, as well as to design new loudspeakers. Multiple entry horns
In the late 1990s, <mask> designed the SPL-td1, his first trapezoidal "top box" intended to deliver the mid- and high frequency sounds to complement a subwoofer. The SPL-td1, produced in 2000, was a 3-way speaker which used seven drivers exiting into the same horn to deliver greater coherence. The SPL-td1 was used in many installations and concerts, including the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. <mask>'s 3-way design was an improvement on the 2-way CoEntrant patent by Ralph Heinz in 1996. In 2001, <mask> began developing the "Unity" horn for license to Yorkville Sound, patenting the improvement in 2002. In 2003, Yorkville released their Unity line of loudspeakers, using <mask>'s Unity horn design for the mid-range and high frequency bandpasses.Further modifications to the SPL-td1 concept came with the SPL-td2 providing improved phase/time linearity, the smaller and lighter SPL-runt, and the larger SPL-trik containing nine drivers. LAB subwoofer
In the early 2000s, <mask> was participating in online discussions at Dave Stevens' Live Audio Board (LAB), a bulletin board system which was later hosted by ProSoundWeb. A number of LAB users wished to collaborate on a do-it-yourself (DIY) subwoofer design. Danley discussed the benefits and tradeoffs of horn versus front-loaded subwoofers, and offered to model a horn enclosure based on the desired size, frequency response and power handling. He "spearheaded" the effort which in February 2002 resulted in <mask> posting the design of a  snail-shell folded-horn subwoofer using two 12-inch drivers at the horn throat. (This was the exact same enclosure size as the BassTech 7, with similarities in the internal folding of the horn.) Eminence, an American speaker company who was also participating in the discussions, designed a custom 12-inch driver to meet the requirements: the LAB12.The LAB Sub, also called the LAB horn, was a heavy subwoofer optimized for operation as four enclosures strapped together in a 2×2 "cube" configuration, to increase the effective mouth size and achieve a low frequency of 32 Hz. <mask>'s conceptual design (he never built one) was given freely to the public domain, and proved to be influential as the first DIY folded horn subwoofer. Danley Sound Labs
Danley partnered with entrepreneur Mike Hedden in 2005 to form Danley Sound Labs (DSL), a loudspeaker company based in Gainesville, Georgia, near Atlanta. Previously, Hedden had been the owner of dB Audio & Video, an A/V contractor who was the largest distributor of SPL loudspeakers. For the first ten years of DSL, <mask> contributed design ideas while continuing to live in Illinois. In 2015, he moved to Georgia. The first product was the SH100, an 8-inch coaxial loudspeaker intended for 300-seat churches.Technologies
<mask>'s Synergy Horn concept was an improvement on the multiple entry design of the SPL-td1. The idea is that multiple drivers in different bandpasses are combined into one horn to make a phase-accurate, constant-directivity single-point-source loudspeaker. <mask>'s Tapped Horn concept directs sound from the rear of a horn-loaded driver into ports (taps) that are vented into the horn closer to the mouth of the horn, farther from the driver at the throat of the horn. At frequences such that the wavelength is twice the distance to the taps, the waves routed inside the cabinet to exit through ports in the horn combine positively with direct sound from the front of the driver. Following the SH100, the SH50 was introduced: a 3-way, seven-driver loudspeaker, launched in November 2005. It used both the Synergy Horn and the Tapped Horn technologies to deliver coherent sound down to 50 Hz with an output pattern of

Danley's Shaded Amplitude Lens technology, patented in 2009, uses vanes to deflect portions of the high frequency driver output so that the different paths produce an output pattern appropriate for large venues, such that the farther audience hears much the same amplitude and sound fidelity as the near audience. The vanes allow the upper output pattern of the horn to be narrower than the angle of the horn walls, to carry farther without dissipating.The lower parts of the horn allow the sound to spread wider for the near audience. In 2011, <mask> filed a patent for DSL's Paraline Technology, a method of combining the output of multiple high frequency drivers into a common output chamber or horn. The waves are routed through multiple passageways defined by parallel partitions of gradient sizes. Matterhorn
In March 2007, DSL produced the Matterhorn, a single subwoofer made from an intermodal shipping container. Danley designed the Matterhorn to meet a military specification, to produce a low frequency sound in the range of 15 to 20 Hz, to be measured at 94 decibels at a distance of 250 meters. To accomplish this, Danley arranged forty 15-inch MTX subwoofer drivers in a tapped horn configuration, each driver powered by its own 1,000 watt amplifier. A diesel generator was included inside the container for operation in the field.The subwoofer has a flat frequency response from 15 to 80 Hz, and is down 3 dB at 12 Hz. The Matterhorn has been called the World's Biggest Subwoofer. Jericho Horn
In 2010, DSL introduced the Jericho Horn, a loudspeaker intended for large audiences. The Jericho Horn is a 4-way design employing six 18-inch drivers for the lows, six 6-inch drivers for the low mids, and two mid-high frequency drivers each of which carries 2-way high frequencies. The Jericho Horn incorporates Danley's patented Shaded Amplitude Lens technology. The Jericho Horn was praised in 2017 when four of the large enclosures were used for DJ sets at the Temple stage at Glastonbury Festival, along with 22 boxes of DSL TH-118 subwoofers. The Jericho Horns and subwoofers were installed and operated by Neuron Pro Audio.After hearing the sound system, festival co-founder Michael Eavis chose the Temple stage for his welcome speech rather than the main stage. Audio consultant
<mask> has consulted on acoustic issues for various projects. He appeared in the 1993 documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx to demonstrate acoustic levitation. <mask> was an early adopter of the Crown Tecron TEF (time-energy-frequency) audio analysis system, introduced in 1983, and he used a TEF-10 portable test rig to measure his audio experiments. At the request of the same documentary producer, in the 1990s Danley used a TEF-12 analyzer to assess the acoustics inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. In 2019 <mask> was recognized as an audio industry pioneer by AVIXA, the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association. Danley received the Adele De Berri Pioneers of AV Award.The award was presented on June 12 at the InfoComm convention held in Orlando, Florida. Personal life
<mask> has played bass guitar since high school. He was in several bands in the 1970s. When his marriage dissolved in the late 1980s, Danley raised his two daughters as a single father. References

title: William W. Orwig

texts:
<mask> (25 September 1810 – 29 May 1889) was a Bishop of the Evangelical Association in the United States, elected in 1859. Birth, ancestry and family
<mask> was born near Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania into a faithful Evangelical home. Orwigsburg was named in honor of his great-grandfather <mask>, who emigrated from Germany and settled there in 1741. The home of <mask>'s grandfather, <mask>, Sr., was a preaching point where Jacob Albright was often a welcome guest. <mask>'s father, Abraham, moved to Union County, northwest of New Berlin, Pennsylvania, in 1811. <mask>'s uncle George settled in Sandusky County, Ohio in 1826. <mask>'s brother Abraham was a pioneer of the Evangelical Association Church in Bonfield, Illinois.<mask> was married to Susanna Rishel, who was a brave and gracious helpmate to him. She was the daughter of George and Catharine Rishel, a prominent Evangelical family in Centre County, Pennsylvania. <mask> and Susan's eldest son was the well-known Rev. A.W<mask>, who died at the advanced age (for the time) of ninety-one. He was a member of the Ohio Conference of the Evangelical Association, and was an editor and author. Among their daughters were Mary (the wife of the Rev.Josiah Bowersox, missionary to Oregon), Susan (the wife of the Rev. Elisha A. Hoffman, and a poet and hymn writer in her own right), Elizabeth (the wife of the Rev. S.L<mask>), Addie (the wife of Isaac Y. Moyer, a noted Cleveland layman of the Church). Conversion and early ministry
<mask> was converted 4 June 1826 at the age of fifteen. He was received into the ministry in the Eastern Annual Conference of the Evangelical Association, 2 June 1828. He served as an itinerant circuit rider for several years.One of his circuits had thirty-two preaching points scattered through five counties. He was appointed Presiding Elder at the age of twenty-three. Editorial ministry
The 1836 General Conference of the Evangelical Association elected Orwig Book Agent and Editor. His headquarters became New Berlin, Pennsylvania, opening in 1837. He bought his denomination's first printing press! The 1839 General Conference relieved him of the office of Publisher and made him Editor of Der Christliche Botschafter (The Christian [or Christ's]  Ambassador), the official German language periodical of the Evangelical Association. Charles Hammer, also from Orwigsburg, was elected Publisher.Der Christliche Botschafter
The first religious paper in the German language in America,  Der Christliche Botschafter was founded in 1836. It became a stimulus to the rapid growth of the Evangelical Association, and a valuable means of recording the progressive movements of the denomination. Always held in high esteem, the pioneer preachers made diligent efforts to place it in the homes of all their members and converts. It was a significant agency in building Christian and denominational bonds. Other notable accomplishments
<mask> wrote the first history of the Evangelical Association in 1854. He was one of the founders of the Missionary Society of his Church, also serving as one of its early officers. He was a pioneer and a pathfinder.He boldly advocated for higher education and was instrumental in starting the first educational institution of his denomination. Episcopal ministry
The 1859 General Conference, meeting in Naperville, Illinois, elected <mask><mask> to the episcopacy. He served in this position only four years, however, his health proving insufficient to the task. In 1863, therefore, he was made Editor again as well as Treasurer of the Missionary Society. Later he served as a Presiding Elder in the Erie Annual Conference of his denomination until he retired. <mask> the Evangelical
According to one biographer, Rev. <mask> was an "up-to-date man," not afraid to advocate new movements and new ideas.He was conservative, yet aggressive, willing to fight for his convictions. He was a student, well versed in many lines of literature. <mask> also was a staunch defender of the doctrines of his Church, and an especially strong proponent of the doctrine of entire sanctification as taught in the Book of Discipline of the Evangelical Association. Another historian calls <mask> "the most aggressive pioneer builder in the Evangelical Church." He was the leading spirit in launching the Sunday School movement in 1832. He promoted the cause of education, the first institution of learning, and the Charitable Society. During his lifetime, the Evangelical Association grew from a membership of just 2,000 to over 145,000.In an 1859 issue of The Evangelical Messenger, an article titled "Our New Bishop" states about Bishop <mask>:
He has a sound reliable judgment, and an unflinching firmness of character.... His predominant feature of character... is his indomitable energy, and untiring perseverance. Death and burial
Bishop <mask> died 29 May 1889 at the age of seventy-eight. The memorial report of his death expressed deep gratitude for his founding role in the Evangelical Association. "We earnestly urge all our young ministers," the report read, "to study the lives of the Fathers of our Church, praying that they may all be consecrated by the Holy Spirit as these men of God were." An appreciation
J.B. Kanaga, an important Pastor and Presiding Elder of the Evangelical Association in Ohio, and representative of the same to the great Councils of the Federated Churches of America, wrote a tribute to Bishop <mask> on the centennial of his birth (1910). He wrote:
In his preaching he was always exact, and adequate in his treatment of a subject. He was always concerned and often even anxious about his preparation.But when he came to the delivery he stood forth as a Master in Israel. Not gifted with eloquence, and I think, actually indifferent to all but apostolic unction and Gospel truth... he wrought with heroic devotion in the day of small things and the hand of that master builder was in the foundation of the Church.

texts: <mask><mask> (born 29 August 1949) is an American businessman, diplomat, former educator, author and politician. He is currently the Chairman of The Pula Group, LLC., which invests in high value opportunities in Africa. He is the non-executive chairman of the African Presidential Leadership Center, a Johannesburg-based NGO focused on leadership development and tracking economic and political trends in Africa. He established and formerly directed Boston University's African Presidential Center. Prior to this, <mask> presented his Letter of Credence as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to the United Republic of Tanzania in September 1998. He served as the Ambassador in the traumatic period after the August 1998 bombing of the United States Embassy in Dar es Salaam. Because of his leadership, the Embassy emerged from the bombing stable, and set a new standard for U.S. embassies promoting U.S. trade and investment in Africa.<mask> worked with the Tanzanian government to enable them to become one of the first Sub-Saharan African countries to reach the decision point for debt relief under the enhanced Heavily-Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC). After his ambassadorship, <mask> received an appointment to the Faculty of the Boston University Department of International Relations, and taught a course on Africa and Globalization. He retired from Boston University in 2015. He was formerly on the Advisory Committee of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Council of American Ambassadors. Ambassador <mask> is the author of For Such a Time as This: African Leadership Challenges (APARC Press, 2008) and Political Religion (Abingdon Press, 1995). He is also the Senior Editor of the annual African Leaders State of Africa Report and author of many articles, which have appeared in such publications as the African Business Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Denver Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Boston Globe, Boston Herald, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and Chicago Sun Times. Ambassador <mask> is a graduate of Baker University, the Interdenominational Theological Center’s Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta, and Harvard University Divinity School (Th.M).He is the founder and former National President of the Organization for a New Equality (ONE), which focuses on expanding economic opportunities for minorities and women. During his tenure at ONE, he helped negotiate and broker the first comprehensive community reinvestment agreement in the country. The agreement committed Boston financial institutions to $500 million in mortgage and commercial lending to low- and moderate-income and minority communities in Massachusetts. He later served on the CRA Regulatory Agency Working Group, chaired by then Comptroller of the Currency Eugene Ludwig. He was one of the architects of the regulations redefining the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which has resulted in nearly $2 trillion in credit and capital for low- and moderate-income communities and communities of color. Prior to heading ONE, he was the Senior Minister of the historic Union United Methodist Church in Boston. In 1983, while at Union Church Stith negotiated a minority hiring pact with the Boston Globe.It was the first such agreement between a major daily newspaper and outside organization. The five year agreement included provisions for hiring, procurement, and a board appointment. He was an appointee of then Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. He has been an adjunct faculty member at Boston College and Harvard Divinity School. He has served on the National Advisory Boards of FannieMae and Fleet InCity Bank, the editorial board of WCVB-TV, and the boards of West Insurance, Inc. and the Wang Center for Performing Arts, among others. He is the recipient of honorary doctorates from the University of South Carolina, Elizabeth City University, Clark Atlanta University, and Baker University. In addition to his role as a civic, political, and business leader, he is an avid collector of African and African American art.He is also recognized as one of the world’s foremost authorities on current political and economic trends in Africa.

title: Brian Setzer

texts:
<mask> (born April 10, 1959) is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He found widespread success in the early 1980s with the 1950s-style rockabilly group Stray Cats, and revitalized his career in the early 1990s with his swing revival band, the Brian Setzer Orchestra. In 1987, he made a cameo appearance as Eddie Cochran in the film La Bamba. Career

Stray Cats
<mask> was born April 1959 in Massapequa, New York. He started on the euphonium and played in jazz bands when he was in school. He found a way to hear jazz at the Village Vanguard, though as he got older he became more interested in rock, punk, and rockabilly. He was a member of the Bloodless Pharaohs and the Tomcats, which he began with his brother, Gary.The Tomcats became the Stray Cats when double bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom joined and Gary left the band. In 1980, thinking they might have more success in England than in America, they sold their instruments to pay for airplane tickets and flew to London. After performing in London for a few months, they met Dave Edmunds, a guitarist and record producer who shared their love of rockabilly and 1950s' rock and roll. Edmunds produced their debut album, Stray Cats (Arista, 1981), which yielded two hit singles, "Stray Cat Strut" and "Rock This Town". The second album, Gonna Ball (Arista, 1982), was less successful. The band returned to America and released Built for Speed (EMI, 1982), produced again by Dave Edmunds, with songs collected from their first two albums. Helped by their music videos on MTV, the Stray Cats became popular in America.Their next album, Rant n' Rave with the Stray Cats (EMI, 1983) produced the hit "(She's) Sexy + 17". The Stray Cats disbanded in 1984, though they occasionally reunited, recorded, and toured. After recording three albums with different producers, they returned to Dave Edmunds for Choo Choo Hot Fish (1992). Solo career/The <mask> Orchestra

After the Stray Cats disbanded in 1984, <mask> began a solo career that included working as a sideman for other acts, such as the Honeydrippers led by Robert Plant. On his first solo album, The Knife Feels Like Justice (EMI, 1986), he turned away from rockabilly and moved toward rhythm and blues (R&B) and the heartland rock of John Mellencamp. The album was produced by Don Gehman and featured Kenny Aronoff on drums. Both men had worked on albums by Mellencamp.His second studio album Live Nude Guitars followed in 1988. While this album retained some heartland rock elements, it found <mask> moving in more of a straight-ahead blues rock direction, comparable to George Thorogood's style; <mask> served as co-producer along with Larson Paine, Chris Thomas and David A.
