title: Cornelius Hill

text:
Cornelius Hill (November 13, 1834 – January 25, 1907) or Onangwatgo (“Big Medicine”) was the last hereditary chief of the Oneida Nation, and fought to preserve his people's lands and rights under various treaties with the United States government. A lifelong Episcopalian, he was ordained a priest of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America at age 69, and ministered to his people until shortly before his death.

The Oneida, one of the five founding tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy, had aligned with the Americans during the American Revolutionary War, but when faced with pressure from white settlers who often mistook them for members of hostile tribes, had begun negotiating with the Ho-Chunk and Menominee tribes and moving to Wisconsin around 1821. Many members had become Christians under missionaries sent by the Episcopal and Methodist Churches to both New York and Wisconsin. In 1825, tribal members built a log church near the Fox River and an important portage on their new lands about 10 miles southwest of Green Bay, Wisconsin, which they called the Hobart Chapel after its consecrating bishop, John Henry Hobart of New York.

Early life
Cornelius Hill was born on tribal lands in Wisconsin and baptised in due course by missionary bishop Jackson Kemper. In 1843, Episcopal missionary the Rev. James Lloyd Breck escorted the ten-year-old and two other boys to the newly established Nashotah House to learn English and be educated for five years.

Career
As a teenager, at a council of Oneida from New York, Canada and Wisconsin, Hill became a chief of his Bear Clan. At age 18 he was given responsibility for distributing the annuity money (from service in the Revolutionary War) among his people. He was later responsible for taking the census of tribal members (the number of which doubled in Wisconsin in the five decades of his leadership). Several times Hill went to Albany, New York and Washington, D.C. to advocate for his people.

White settlers were also moving into Wisconsin, and coveted tribal lands, which were held in common under an 1838 treaty negotiated by Chief Daniel Bread, who by his death in 1873 thought such private allocation inevitable. The next year, Hill drafted a petition to New York's legislature in Albany concerning interference with Oneida fishing rights under previous treaties, which was causing considerable hardship to tribal members remaining in New York. At least one Indian Agent supposedly assigned to help the tribe also forbade them to sell shingles and other lumber products to support themselves during a crop failure, which Hill and missionary and teacher the Rev. Edward A. Goodnough (who worked among the Oneidas from 1863 to 1890) thought was designed to get the tribe to sell lands to whites (if not his cronies), and eventually managed to secure that agent's dismissal.  Hill also helped tribal members learn new farming techniques and secure machinery. Women also made baskets and beadwork for sale, and after 1900 learned to make lace to support themselves in the modernized world.

Nonetheless, pursuant to the Dawes Act of 1887, the federal government allocated the tribe's Wisconsin land to individuals beginning in 1892, who were to be allowed to transfer that property after a 25-year waiting period. As had happened in New York State, unscrupulous persons often tried to swindle tribal members out of their allocations. Throughout his life, Hill fought such dismemberment of tribal property, as well as government attempts to move his people further west. In 1893 after negotiations with the federal government, Hill, together with the Rev. Solomon S. Burleson (also a lawyer and doctor), secured a hospital and boarding school for the reservation, and the following year the Sisters of the Holy Nativity sent nuns to work as nurses and teachers there.

Having for years served as an organist and interpreter for Episcopal services by the Rev. Goodnough and his successors, as well as his tribe's sachem and delegate to church councils, Hill thought ordination would bring additional authority among whites as well as help him become a bridge between the cultures. Since 1870 (perhaps in Thanksgiving for having been relatively spared from horrendous forest fires that devastated Wisconsin), church members had volunteered at a limestone quarry one day a week, in order to dress stone for a new church building. In 1886 they laid the cornerstone for a new gothic stone chapel, which they named the Church of the Holy Apostles, to replace an overly small and somewhat decrepit wood chapel. On June 27, 1895, Bishop Charles C. Grafton ordained Hill a deacon. However, the event was bittersweet as Hill's infant son had died in an epidemic and was scheduled for burial that very afternoon. Furthermore, his ally the Rev. Burleson died in February 1897, months before the new church's formal consecration, and Burleson's popular youngest son (all five of whom had become priests) was transferred to Texas the following year. On June 24, 1903, Bishop Grafton ordained Hill as a priest, the first of his people; during the ceremony Hill repeated his vows in his native language. The Wisconsin reservation also had a Methodist mission with a dedicated missionary and a Catholic chapel served by a priest from De Pere, about ten miles away.

Family
At the time of his ordination, aged 69, Hill's wife, who had borne 8 children, had not learned English. Several of their children went to the Hampton Indian School after their education at the reservation's school.

Death and legacy
Hill died on January 25, 1907, having fallen ill shortly before Christmas. After three requiems and funeral at the Church of the Holy Apostles attended by 800 persons, he was buried in the graveyard with other tribal members and the missionaries he assisted. When fire from a lightning strike on July 17, 1920 destroyed the Gothic stone church, it was rebuilt in a similar design. The Oneida continued to revere Hill's wisdom and sanctity, relating tales of their leader to Works Progress Administration historians during the Great Depression, even though by 1920 only a few hundred acres of the reservation were owned by tribal members (the remaining approximately 65,000 acres being owned by whites before the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 caused the Bureau of Indian Affairs to begin reversing the policy).

title: Alptakin

text:
Alptakin (also known as Aftakin) was a Turkish military officer of the Buyids, who participated, and eventually came to lead, an unsuccessful rebellion against them in Iraq from 973 to 975. Fleeing west with 300 followers, he exploited the power vacuum in Syria to capture several cities, including Damascus. For the next three years, Alptakin withstood attempts by the Fatimid Caliphate to capture Damascus, until he was defeated and captured by Caliph al-Aziz Billah. Taken to Egypt and incorporated into the Fatimid army, he was poisoned by the vizier Ibn Killis shortly after this.

Early life and rebellion against the Buyids
He was a freedman of the Buyid ruler of Iraq, Izz al-Dawla Bakhtiyar. Nothing further is known about him until 973, when he joined the rebellion of the Turkish officer Sabuktakin, who managed to occupy Baghdad and many other parts of Iraq. The Turkish rebels under Sabuktakin then besieged Wasit, where Izz al-Dawla had fortified himself. Sabuktakin died during the siege, and Alptakin was shortly chosen as the new leader of the Turks. Meanwhile, a Buyid army under Izz al-Dawla's cousin Adud al-Dawla was marching towards Iraq, and by 975 managed to completely defeat the rebels at the Diyala River.

Invasion of Syria and war with the Fatimids

After his defeat at the hands of the Buyids, along with  of his followers, Alptakin fled to Syria, where they managed to capture Hims. Alptakin then allied himself with the Qarmatians, and in the winter of 975 invaded the Mediterranean coast and laid siege to Fatimid city of Sidon. He shortly managed to capture the city, resulting in the massacre of 4,000 Fatimid troops. He then captured Tiberias, and marched towards to Damascus, which he took without much resistance. In the meantime, the Byzantine emperor John I Tzimiskes was undertaking campaigns in Syria, which made Alptakin surrender his lands to John, but through diplomacy, he prevented the Byzantines from attempting to annex the city.

The Fatimid caliph al-Aziz Billah then sent an army under his general Jawhar, who managed to reconquer the Mediterranean coast and reach as far as Damascus, which laid siege to in July 976.

The Qarmatians reacted by sending an army to aid Alptakin—according to some sources, Alptakin himself appealed to the Qarmatians for aid—forcing Jawhar to lift the siege in January 977. The allies pursued Jawhar to Ramla, where they were joined by the Banu Tayy Bedouin; Jawhar was defeated in a pitched battle at the Yarqon River, and was forced to abandon Ramla and retreat to Ascalon. The Qarmatians entered Ramla on 12 March 977. The combined army of Alptakin and the Qarmatians then besieged Ascalon, where the Fatimid army had fled to. After a long siege which lasted until April 978, the starving Fatimid army agreed to make a peace treaty: in addition to Damascus, Alptakin would receive Palestine, while the northern border of the Fatimid domain was set at Gaza. To make the treaty more palatable to the Fatimids, Alptakin agreed to recognize the Fatimid caliph as his suzerain, although this was a purely nominal gesture: Alptakin would retain all revenue collected from the territories under his control.

In 978, Izz al-Dawla, whose territories had been conquered by Adud al-Dawla, fled along with his two brothers and other Dailamite followers to Damascus, where they were warmly received by Alptakin, who incorporated the Dailamites into his army. Meanwhile, a new Fatimid army under al-Aziz himself was marching towards Damascus, and a battle ensued between the Turks and the Fatimids near Ramla; Alptakin charged the left wing of the Fatimids, killing many. However, the Fatimids turned the tide of the battle by making a counter-attack on the centre and right wing of Alptakin's army, killing  of his men.

Alptakin managed to flee from the battlefield to the desert, where he almost died of thirst, but was found by the leader of the Tayy tribe and an old friend of his, Mufarrij ibn Daghfal ibn al-Jarrah. Alptakin was brought to the latter's home, where he was treated with honour. During his stay the latter's home, however, Mufarrij betrayed him and gave him to al-Aziz in exchange for 100,000 gold dinars.

Alptakin was then taken to the Fatimid capital of Cairo, where he was honourably treated by al-Aziz, who incorporated Alptakin along with his Turkish followers into the Fatimid army. However, Alptakin was later poisoned by al-Aziz's vizier, Yaqub ibn Killis.

title: Karapet Yeghiazaryan

text:
Karapet Yeghiazaryan (; March 7, 1932 in Yerevan – 2006 in Yerevan) was an Armenian painter, Honored Artist of Armenia, 1983.

Biography
Karapet Yeghiazaryuan was born in 1932 in Yerevan. The artistic depth of his nature was revealed in his childhood in his love towards nature, his perception of the beauty of its views and colors. He attended the painting group of the Ghoukassian Haouse of Pioneers (teacher Gagik Ghazaryan).

1953 graduated from Panos Terlemezyan Art College
1959 graduated from Leningrad Artistic Industrial High School after Mukhina
1972–1987 headed the section of decorative and applied arts of the RA Painter's Association
1973–1987 was a member of the Presidium and the Presidency of the RA Painter's Association
1962–1979  delivered lectures on design, painting and composition in the Terlemezyan Artistic College, for which in 1972 he was awarded an Honor Diploma of the Ministry of High and Secondary Special Education of the Armenian SSR, National Committee of Science and High School Education Workers
1964–1974 delivered lectures in the Yerevan Artistic and Theatrical Institute

Karapet Yeghiazaryan's works are exhibited in art galleries, museum, well-known cultural centers and private collections of Yerevan, Gyumri, Echmiadzin, Moscow, London, New York City, Kerch, Volgodonsk and in many cities of Russian Federation, the city of Timirtau in Kazakhstan, as well as other countries.

His daughter Anush Yeghiazaryan is the outstanding participant of the present stage of development of the Armenian tapestry.

Career
The personal style of Yeghiazaryan was formed progressively; his mastership grew year after year; skills shaping his own language in his works grew more perfect. The first attempts made by Yeghiazaryan were to introduce partial modifications in traditional oriental carpets. In these series of his work the most interesting is the tapestry Praying for Peace (1967), in which the author managed to put into natural connection human static figures with ornaments filling the entire surface of the work.  The master organically transferred stylistic principles of the weaving art devices into the language of mosaics and obtained most interesting decorative effects, this time in the material of ‘stone carpet’.
Yeghiazaryan created works with logical structure which allows  to read with precision the author's thought and to create a unique ornamental structural system. Along with strict compositional order, one feels in Yeghiazaryan's works the material, the wool, its softness, tenderness, density, its amazing capacity of absorbing light to entirely render the deepness and strength of color.

Yeghiazaryan's frame of themes are : native Armenia, national traditions, events of social life and images of nature. Each new work was a further step leading to the solutions of image, contents and artistic problems.

Works
Karapet Yeghiazaryan is the author of numerous mosaic panels
Synthetics, 1967
Paradise, 1968, for which he was awarded by a Diploma of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Armenian SSR, and which is now decorating the Memorial complex of the Sardarapat battle.

The themes of the three main panels are: in the left side- Center of Metallurgy, in the center-Science and Labor, in the right side-People are Cheerful, devoted to the development of arts and people talents.

Quotes about Karapet Yeghiazaryan
“… in the mosaic made by Karapet Yeghiazaryan one can distinctly see carpet ornaments. Subsequently, the painter was guided by some fundamental compositional principles of weaving art, which influenced his works made with other materials, too.”

Professor Nikita Voronov

Art critic, PH.D., “Armenian Tapestry”, SovetakanArvest (Soviet Art), N 11, 1978, Yerevan (in Russian)

“Merited painter Karapet Yeghiazaryan is a multilaterally talented creator. His famous curtain Renaissance (1986) is decorating the scene of the Yerevan Sport and Concert Complex. I am the author of its composition, but the collaboration with Karapet Yeghiazaryna was indispensable to transform it into a curtain. Our common creative work created a piece of art of 360m 2, having 30 meters width and 12 meter height, which will decorate the wall of one of our architectural masterpieces”.

title: Sergio González Rodríguez

text:
Sergio González Rodríguez (26 January 1950 – 3 April 2017) was a Mexican journalist and writer who was best known for his works on the femicides in Ciudad Juárez from the 1990s to the 2000s, such as Huesos en el desierto (Bones in the Desert) and The Femicide Machine. González Rodríguez was a writer who worked in many literary genres, producing literary journalism or crónicas [es], novels, essays, and screenplays for documentaries.  His writing was recognized with several awards in Mexico and Spain.

Life

González Rodríguez was born in Mexico City in 1950.  His mother died while he was in the third grade and his father abandoned his family, forming another family.  González Rodríguez studied modern literature at the National Autonomous University of Mexico from 1978 to 1982.  Apart from his writing career he was a rock musician, playing bass with some of his brothers in a band named Enigma.

Following the publication of Huesos en el desierto, González Rodríguez was kidnapped via taxi and beaten by assailants who warned him that his work was being "closely monitored"; he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and survived the attack, continuing his journalistic work.

González Rodríguez died in hospital on 3 April 2017 from a heart attack.

Career

González Rodríguez made his career as a critic, narrator, essayist, literary historian and scriptwriter.

After graduating, he worked at the Historical Studies Department of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia from 1985 to 1988. From 1990 to 1992, he was an assistant of the Exhibition Coordination of CONACULTA, working on a multimedia production called "Asamblea de ciudades, la Ciudad de México 1920–1950". His work in journalism includes editing at the Estudio de Salvador Novo A.C. and at the Biblioteca de México magazine from 1993 to 2000, as well as serving as editor and photographer at the Luna Córnea magazine from 1992 to 2002. When the Reforma newspaper was founded in 1993, he joined as editor and columnist for both the regular paper and its cultural supplement, called El Ángel. He has also worked for La Jornada.

González Rodríguez was best known for his investigative work about the femicides in Ciudad Juárez in the 1990s and 2000s. He began as an investigative reporter, making his first trip to the area in 1995 for Reforma. His series of articles served as the basis for the book Huesos en el desierto (Bones in the Desert), published in 2002, which mixes reporting, essay and reflective writing. This work was a finalist at the Lettre Ulysses International Prize of Literary Reporting in Germany and was translated into Italian and French. It influenced other writing on the topic, including a direct collaboration with writer Roberto Bolaño, who was writing the novel 2666 in the early 2000s as well. González Rodríguez blamed the murders of the women on machismo and misogyny in Mexico. This examination of violence led to two other books that form a trilogy on modern violence, El hombre sin cabeza (The Headless Man) and Campo de guerra (Field of Battle) which examine drug-related violence and the role of international politics, respectively.

As a screenwriter, he wrote for the television series México, Siglo XX, and a documentary called Nacional Dominical which he also directed with Roberto Diego Ortega. In 1993 his script for the documentary Los bajos fondos, produced by UNAM, won first prize at the third Festival y Muestra Nacional de Televisión y Video at the Instituciones de Enseñanza Superior en México.

He worked as a professor at the Doctor José María Luis Mora Research Center.

Works
González Rodríguez wrote or co-wrote over twenty books, also contributing to the Anales de Literature Hispanoamericana of Universidad Complutense, Biblioteca de México, El Nacional Dominical, Ínsula (Spain), a supplement of the Siempre! magazine called La Cultura en México, La Jornada Semanal, Letras Libres, Nexos, and the Revista Universidad de México.

His novels included El triángulo imperfecto (2003), El plan Schreber (2004), La pandilla cósmica (2005) and El vuelo (2008). In 2014, he published a novel called El artista adolescente que confundía el mundo con un cómic, which integrated elements of graphic novels and comics into both the literary style and the storyline.  Other titles included the essays Los bajos fondos, el antro, la bohemia y el café (1988), El Centauro en el paisaje (1992), De sangre y de sol (2006) and El hombre sin cabeza. He also edited Viajes y ensayos by Salvador Novo (1997).

Crónicas

González Rodríguez wrote three closely related works of non-fiction which examine crime, corruption and the Drug War in Mexico: The Femicide Machine, The Iguala 43 (Los 43 de Iguala) and Field of Battle (Campo de guerra). The latter two books were originally published in Spanish by Anagrama, and all three books were translated into English and published as entries in the Semiotext(e) Intervention Series.  González Rodríguez wrote The Femicide Machine specifically for the Intervention Series; although it is a distinct text from the longer Huesos en el desierto, both books examine the female homicides in Ciudad Juárez.

The three works are examples of crónicas [es], the Spanish word for a genre of literary journalism which blends straight reporting and editorializing.

The Femicide Machine

In The Femicide Machine, González Rodríguez examines a series of circumstances which he argues have conspired to produce Ciudad Juárez' female homicide victims.  Although violence associated with Mexico's illegal drug trade is one factor, he also considers the city's proximity to the U.S. border, its cultural and geographic separation from the rest of Mexico, historical prevalence of technology in the city (particularly cars and cell phones) and the impact of NAFTA which incentivized the growth of maquiladoras along the border.  These factories provided employment opportunities for women; according to González Rodríguez, this provoked a misogynistic resentment in Mexico's culture of machismo.  In González Rodríguez' account, the confluence of these factors gave rise to a process which resulted in Ciudad Juárez' high rate of female murder victims; the process itself can be likened to a machine.

The text concludes with an account of the 2001 kidnapping and murder of Lilia Alejandra García Andrade, a factory worker and resident of Ciudad Juárez; following the murder, her mother Norma Andrade began activism against female homicide in Ciudad Juárez, and was herself attacked.

The Iguala 43

The Iguala 43 examines the kidnapping of 43 male students in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico, which ended with their presumptive murders.  As in The Femicide Machine, González Rodríguez considers a series of historical circumstances which informed the tragedy—this time affecting male victims in Mexico's south, as opposed to female victims in its north.

On 26 September 2014, a group of male students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College commandeered two local buses which they drove to nearby Iguala, where they took another three.  Their plan was to travel to Mexico City to participate in protests commemorating the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre, after which they would return the buses.  In one account of following events, local police attacked the students, killing some, and then apprehended the survivors, turning them over to the Guerreros Unidos, a local criminal drug trafficking organization.  The Guerreros Unidos then killed the surviving students and burned their bodies, disposing of the remains.

González Rodríguez explains the historical circumstances which led to the atrocity.  Located in Mexico's south, the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' college has a far-left political tradition, producing alumni such as Lucio Cabañas and Genaro Vázquez Rojas who subsequently became guerrillas opposed to the Mexican state; a historical antagonism between Mexican authorities and Ayotzinapa personnel was formed.  Further, there was an existing tradition of the forced disappearance and killing of activists; González Rodríguez cites the case of Rosendo Radilla, an activist who was stopped at a military checkpoint in 1974 and never seen again.  Taken together with the overall societal corruption and increased violence during the Mexican Drug War, González Rodríguez assigns blame for the massacre jointly to the governments of Mexico and the United States, on account of internal corruption and ongoing CIA operations within Mexico, respectively.

Field of Battle

In Field of Battle, González Rodríguez examines the contemporary militarization of Mexican society in response to drug-related violence.  The central argument of the book is that the de facto absence of the rule of law is the root cause for ongoing violent crime and suffering within Mexico.  This absence of the rule of law is generated by corruption which begins by eroding the legitimacy of the rule of law itself, and which ends by creating an "a-legal" world in which the distinction between legality and illegality becomes meaningless because crimes are rarely punished and law enforcement themselves often do not enforce or respect the law.  Given these circumstances, González Rodríguez uses the visual phenomenon of anamorphosis as a metaphor to describe the subjectively distorted reality experienced by victims of violent crime in Mexico who are often caught between police corruption, an inefficient legal system, and the violence of gangs or drug cartels.

González Rodríguez concludes the text by advocating nonviolence and respect for the rule of law as antidotes both to drug violence and also to the militarization of Mexican society because unlike the latter, the former represent peaceful means which are consistent with their peaceful end.

Most of the passages from The Femicide Machine's third chapter War City/Mexico-USA are recycled throughout Field of Battle.  In particular, the fourth chapter of Field of Battle, Global War on Drug Trafficking, rephrases and slightly permutes the latter two-thirds of War City/Mexico-USA.  In both cases the material covers the geopolitical interests of the United States via CIA operations within Mexico and Latin America, and the expansion of Mexican drug trafficking to Europe via West Africa.

Recognition
In 1993, González Rodríguez was a finalist at the Anagrama Essay Prize in Barcelona, Spain, with the work El centauro en el paisaje. This was followed in 1995 by the Fernando Benítez National Journalism Prize in Mexico for Mujer de table-dance.

The work Huesos en el desierto was a finalist at the Lettre Ulysses International Prize of Literary Reporting in Germany and received the Herralde Novel Prize in 2004.

El triángulo imperfecto (2003) was a finalist of the Antonin Artaud Prize for novels in Mexico.

In 2013, he won the Premio Casa América Catalunya a la Libertad de Expresión en Iberoamérica, followed by the Anagrama Essay Prize for Campo de guerra in 2014.

González Rodríguez' work was supported by grants from FONCA (1990–1991), two from the Rockefeller Foundation and from the history department of the Universidad Iberoamericana (1990–1999) .

He was a member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte of Mexico since 1996.

text:
Awakening is a full-length studio album by Jackie Evancho, consisting of 12 tracks. The album, produced by Nick Patrick, released on September 23, 2014, is Evancho's first album recorded for Sony Masterworks' Portrait Records imprint.

In advance of the album's release, Evancho released two singles from the album and a music video of each: covers of "The Rains of Castamere", from the TV series Game of Thrones, and "Think of Me" from The Phantom of the Opera. Evancho recorded a third PBS special based on the album, which began airing on November 29, 2014, and her concert tour to promote the album began in November 2014.

The album consists of 12 tracks and includes a mix of classical pieces, like Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise", the hymn "Dormi Jesu" and the Vavilov version of "Ave Maria"; classical crossover covers of more contemporary pieces like U2's "With or Without You", Ennio Morricone's "Your Love", Lara Fabian's "Je t'aime" and Within Temptation's "Memories"; and several original songs. Walmart is offering a deluxe edition that includes a second disk with six additional holiday songs. A bonus track cover of "My Immortal" by Evanescence is included exclusively on the album sold in Japan.

Awakening debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart, Evancho's fifth consecutive release to reach No. 1 on that chart. It remained on the Classical Albums chart for a consecutive 72 weeks. The DVD of the PBS special charted at No. 3 on the Billboard Music Video Sales chart and remained on that chart for eight weeks. In Billboards year-end rankings, Awakening hung on to be the No. 3 classical album of 2015.

Promotion

On June 10, 2014, Evancho released her first single from the album, a cover of "The Rains of Castamere" from the TV series Game of Thrones, and a shadow-art video for the single became available in July. A writer for the Orlando Sentinel said of the song that Evancho's "mature voice sounds stunning." Evancho released a second track, "Think of Me", from The Phantom of the Opera, on July 15, 2014. A video for the song was released, together with a feature piece on Evancho by People magazine, on September 9, 2014. A reviewer for Digital Journal wrote that the song is a "delightful vocal performance. ... She displays her trademark range and her tone is crystalline and controlled. It is a polished and gorgeous vocal, and at times soothing and delicate. On September 22, Billboard magazine streamed Evancho's third single from the album, "Your Love", which became available on the day of the album's release. The magazine commented, "Evancho’s stratospheric vocals are of course impressive for someone her age, though pipes like this are incredible for just about anyone."

Evancho's third PBS special, based on the album, Jackie Evancho – Awakening – Live in Concert, was filmed on August 21, 2014 at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. It began airing on PBS stations on November 29, 2014; Cheyenne Jackson co-hosts and sings "Say Something" as a duet with Evancho. A KPBS preview of the broadcast commented: "Jackie’s astoundingly beautiful young voice soars in the magnificent setting." The special includes all of the songs from Awakening, plus "Say Something" and "O mio babbino caro". A DVD additionally includes "My Immortal". The DVD charted at No. 3 on the Billboard Music Video Sales chart.

On November 5, 2014, in advance of the PBS broadcasts, Evancho released a video of one of the songs from the special, "Ave Maria". The Digital Journal reviewer wrote: "The control she displays over her voice is tremendous, and she tackles the high notes in the chorus effortlessly, showcasing her angelic vocals and piercing pipes." Her concert tour to promote the album began in November 2014. Also to promote the album release, Evancho released a digital download of a track called "Go Time" on July 15, 2014. The song was made for the Justice clothing stores and is available on their website and for free download to Justice shoppers; it is played in their stores on the video monitors. On October 27, 2014, Evancho joined George R. R. Martin, the author of Game of Thrones, at the WSJ Cafe to talk about her album and her cover of "The Rains of Castamere".<ref>Farley, Christopher John. "WSJ Cafe: Video Recap of George R.R. Martin and Jackie Evancho Q&A" , WSJ+, October 27, 2014, accessed February 20, 2015</ref>

Evancho began her television promotions of the album with a return to America's Got Talent as a guest artist, singing "Think of Me" at Radio City Music Hall, on September 10, 2014, during the Top 12 results broadcast of the show's ninth season. She next performed, and was interviewed, on The Today Show on September 22, singing "Your Love". Among other television and media appearances, she performed on The Queen Latifah Show on October 3, and was profiled on the Oprah Winfrey Network on October 5, 2014. Evancho appeared on Dr. Phil on December 16, singing "Ave Maria" and on the Fox & Friends Christmas special on December 24, 2014, singing "The Christmas Song".

Track listing

Production
Produced by Nick Patrick, Awakening was Evancho's first album recorded for Sony Masterworks' Portrait Records imprint. Evancho recorded the vocals on the album early in 2014 at Audible Images' studio, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Other recording was done in London and Budapest, Hungary. The album features the Budapest Concert Orchestra and the Budapest City Choir backing Evancho in most of the tracks, conducted by Nicholas Dodd on some tracks and Richard Cottle on others. The orchestral and choir arrangements are by Dodd, Cottle and Sally Herbert.

Reception
The album debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart. Awakening was Evancho's fifth consecutive release to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart. On its year-end charts, Billboard ranked Awakening as the No. 11 best-selling classical album of 2014 the No. 3 classical album of 2015 and the No. 31 best-selling classical album of 2016.

Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal gave Evancho's album an A rating, calling it "stunning from start to finish thanks to her warm classical vocals." He called her renditions of the songs "ethereal", "crystalline" and "haunting". A review in The Star commented: "There’s no doubt that Evancho still has the vocal chops today. ... The soprano is still in top form with Ennio Morricone's "Your Love" but it is her rendition of contemporary tunes that prove most interesting. Evancho succeeds even out of her comfort zone, deftly manoeuvring through Within Temptation's "Memories" though her delivery of U2's "With Or Without You" could have used more grit and gusto." The MD Theatre Guide also gave the album an enthusiastic review.

title: Krishnacore

text:
Krishnacore is a subgenre of hardcore punk that draws inspiration from the Hare Krishna tradition. Although some hardcore punk bands had already made references to Krishna Consciousness in the 1980s, the subgenre was established in the early 1990s by the bands Shelter and 108. The name is a portmanteau of "Krishna" and "hardcore".

Academic Colin Helb has described krishnacore as "a subculture of a subculture of a subculture." The subgenre has been met with surprise by some observers, due to the reputed contradictions between punk rock and Krishna Consciousness.

Precedents (1980s)

Punk rock and Hinduism have converged occasionally since the early days of the genre. Singer Poly Styrene of the English band X-Ray Spex joined ISKCON following the breakup of her band in 1980. In the New York hardcore punk scene, the main influence on some musicians to embrace ISKCON was the Washington D.C.'s hardcore band Bad Brains which, despite being Rastas, "grafted fervent spirituality onto an otherwise nihilistic and antitranscendental genre." One of the first members of its scene to adopt Krishna consciousness was John Joseph of the Cro-Mags. New York bands Antidote and Cause for Alarm were among the first that began to explore Krishna consciousness in both their creative and personal lives, but the most prominent example was the Cro-Mags' debut album The Age of Quarrel (1986), whose title is a translation for the Hindu concept of Kali Yuga that is taught in Hare Krishna philosophy.

Music journalist Eric Caruncho has noted that the Filipino band The Wuds performed Krishna-influenced punk as early as 1986.

Establishment

The band Shelter was formed in 1991, which is credited as the inventor of krishnacore. Shelter consisted of two ex-members of Youth of Today, vocalist Ray Cappo and guitarist John Porcelly, who had become Krishna devotees.

The genre is also strongly associated with Equal Vision Records, which was formed by Shelter members to promote the Krishna movement. Other early acts within the genre include 108, Refuse to Fall and Prema.

Characteristics
Although the Hare Krishna movement and many straight edgers shared the principles of refraining from drug use, vegetarianism and condemnation of illicit sex, the former also provided a transcendental and philosophical framework wherein lay these commitments. Academic Mike Dines states that krishnacore bands were "conscious of its own history and aesthetic." He highlights "the importance of the devotional doctrine of bhakti-yoga within this relationship; a doctrine that was to inform further the move from straightedge punk to Hare Krishna monk."

Dines therefore brings together rasa and the idea of Nada-Brahma to highlight the "unique fusion of Western popular music and the Eastern-based Indian spirituality (and lifestyle) of the Vaishnavas." In turning the punk aesthetic towards the devotional and, in particular, the transcendental vibration of the holy name, Krishnacore became a site of expression for bhakti-yoga. Moreover, Dines states "what provides validity to the connecting of Krishnacore and Indian aesthetics lies in the placement of those band members and associates who were involved in the scene." He concludes, "Ray Cappo, Robert Fish and Vic Dicara were not mere spectators of the Hare Krishna movement, but were indeed devotees themselves, reading and studying scripture, attending lectures and practicing the lifestyle of the devotee."

The difference between krishnacore and bands such as Cro-Mags or Cause for Alarm, which previously made some connections between the Hare Krishna movement and the hardcore scene, was that the service to Krishna had become the sole objective of krishnacore.

title: August Haake

text:
August Haake (7 December 1889, Bremen – 2 January 1915, Bremen) was a German landscape painter.

Life and work
He was the only child of a wealthy businessman who dealt in furnishings and related items. As a child, he led a sheltered life due to a severe case of stuttering that would often leave him speechless. He was sent to a private preparatory school and later attended the Gymnasium but, because of his impediment, did poorly. In 1908, he decided not to continue his formal education, taking courses in stenography, typing and bookkeeping with the intention of following his father into business. He also underwent speech therapy, but to no avail. Finally, he and his father agreed that a business career was unsuitable and he began to pursue his interest in painting.

, a landscape painter and the son of one of his father's business acquaintances, gave him his first lessons, after which he attended the Bremen School of Applied Arts. Then, following Bertelsmann's recommendation, he went to the Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School where he became a Master Student of Fritz Mackensen. Every summer while he was a student (from 1910 to 1914), he would join Bertelsmann at the Fischerhude art colony in Worpswede, prolifically painting everything of interest in the local surroundings. It was there that he came under the influence of the Barbizon school and Van Gogh.

In 1914, he developed the symptoms of lead poisoning. Apparently, he had been in the habit of sharpening his brushes between his lips and absorbed lead from the white pigments. He died shortly after undergoing stomach surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital in Bremen. After his death, a young music student named Hipo Döhrman presented herself to his parents as his fiancée and was informally adopted into the family.

His paintings were kept by friends and family and were largely inaccessible to the public until 1967. Most are still in private ownership. As he usually didn't sign his paintings, attribution of his works is sometimes based solely on their original ownership or his habit of drilling two holes in his canvases, to dry them by hanging them on his back with a string while riding home on his motorcycle.

title: Distinguished Gallantry Medal

text:
The Distinguished Gallantry Medal was instituted by the State President of the Republic of Bophuthatswana in 1982, for award to all ranks for extraordinary gallantry.

The Bophuthatswana Defence Force
The Bophuthatswana Defence Force (BDF) was established upon that country's independence on 6 December 1977. The Republic of Bophuthatswana ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Bophuthatswana Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Distinguished Gallantry Medal was instituted by the State President of Bophuthatswana in 1982. It is the junior award of a set of two decorations for bravery, along with the Distinguished Gallantry Cross.

Bophuthatswana's military decorations and medals were modelled on those of the Republic of South Africa and these two decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Louw Wepener Decoration and Louw Wepener Medal.

Award criteria
The medal could be awarded to all ranks for extraordinary gallantry.

Order of wear

Since the Distinguished Gallantry Medal was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date. The position of the Distinguished Gallantry Medal in the official order of precedence was revised on 27 April 2003, to accommodate the institution of a new set of honours.
