title: Joseph Thackwell

text:
Lieutenant-General Sir Joseph Thackwell  (1 February 1781 – 8 April 1859) was a British Army officer. He served with the 15th Hussars in the Peninsular War at the Battle of Sahagún in 1808 and the Battle of Vitoria in 1813, and he lost his left arm at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. He commanded the regiment from 1820 to 1832. He then served in India, commanding the cavalry in the First Anglo-Afghan War of 1838–89, and at the Battle of Sobraon in the First Anglo-Sikh War of 1845–46, and at the Battle of Chillianwala and Battle of Gujrat in the Second Anglo-Sikh War of 1848–9. He also commanded the 3rd The King's Own Dragoons, was colonel of the 16th Lancers, and was appointed Inspector-general of cavalry.

Early life
Thackwell was the fourth son of John Thackwell, JP, of Rye Court and Moreton Court, Birtsmorton Court in Worcestershire (died 1808). He was commissioned as cornet in the Worcester Fencible Cavalry in 1798, was promoted to lieutenant in September 1799, and served in Ireland until the regiment was disbanded in 1800.

15th Hussars
In April 1800, he purchased a commission in the 15th Light Dragoons, and became lieutenant in June 1801. He was placed on half-pay in 1802 after the Peace of Amiens but was brought back to the regiment on its augmentation in April 1804. The regiment was converted into hussars in 1806, and Thackwell became captain in April 1807.

The 15th Hussars formed part of Lord Paget's hussar brigade in 1807, and was sent to the Peninsula in 1808. It played the principal part in the Battle of Sahagún on 21 December 1808, and to cover the retreat of General Sir John Moore's army to Corunna.

After some years of service back in England, the regiment was sent back to the Peninsula in 1813. It formed part of the hussar brigade attached to General Graham's corps. At the passage of the river Esla on 31 May 1813, Thackwell commanded the leading squadron which surprised a French cavalry picket and took thirty prisoners.

He took part in the Battle of Vitoria on 21 June 1813 and in the subsequent pursuit, in the Battle of the Pyrenees at the end of July 1813, and in the Siege of Pamplona. He was also present at the battles of Orthez, Tarbes, and Toulouse. On 1 March 1814, after passing the river Adour, Thackwell was in command of the leading squadron of his regiment, and had a creditable encounter with the French light cavalry, on account of which he was recommended (unsuccessfully) for a brevet majority by Sir Stapleton Cotton.  He was awarded the Peninsular Medal with two clasps.

He served with the 15th Hussars in the campaign of 1815, in General Colquhoun Grant's brigade, which was on the right of the line at the Battle of Waterloo. He wrote of his experiences at Waterloo. After several engagements with the French cavalry at Waterloo, the regiment suffered severely in charging a square of infantry towards the end of the day. Thackwell had two horses shot under him and was wounded in his left arm, which was amputated the next day.

He was promoted to the rank of major at Waterloo, and he was made brevet lieutenant-colonel on 21 June 1817. The regiment charged the crowd at the Peterloo massacre on 16 August 1819, at St Peter's Field in Manchester.

He took command of the regiment in June 1820. After serving nearly 32 years in the regiment, and nearly 12 as its commander, he was placed on half-pay on 16 March 1832, exchanging with Lord Brudenell. He was made a Knight of the Royal Guelphic Order (KH) in February 1834.

India
Thackwell became a colonel in the army in January 1837, and in May 1837, by exchange, he took command of the 3rd The King's Own Dragoons, travelling with his new regiment to India and arriving in Calcutta in November 1837.

He became local major-general and was placed in command of the cavalry of the Army of the Indus in the First Anglo-Afghan War of 1838–39. He was present at the Siege of Ghazni, and he commanded the second column of the part of the army which returned to India from Kabul in the autumn of 1839. He was made a Commander of the Order of the Bath (CB) in July 1838, and advanced to KCB in December 1839.

He commanded the cavalry division of Sir Hugh Gough's army in the short campaign against the Marathas of Gwalior at the end of 1843, and was mentioned in Gough's despatch after the Battle of Maharajpur.

In the First Anglo-Sikh War he was again in command of the cavalry at the Battle of Sobraon on 10 February 1846. He led the cavalry in file over the entrenchments on the right of the line, doing work (as Gough said) usually left to infantry and artillery. He was promoted major-general on in November 1846.

When the Second Anglo-Sikh War, Thackwell he was appointed to the command of the third division of infantry; but on the death of Brigadier Cureton in the Battle of Ramnagar on 22 November 1848, he was transferred to the cavalry division. After Ramnagar, the Sikhs crossed to the right bank of the Chenab. To enable his own army to follow them, Gough sent a force of about eight thousand men under Thackwell to pass the river higher up, and help to dislodge the Sikhs from their position by moving on their left flank and rear. Thackwell found the nearer fords impracticable, but crossed at Wazirabad, and encamped on the morning of 3 December near Sadulapur. He had orders not to attack until he was joined by an additional brigade; but he was himself attacked towards midday by about half the Sikh army. The Sikhs drove the British pickets out of three villages and some large plantations of sugar-cane, and so secured for themselves a strong position. They kept up a heavy fire of artillery until sunset, and attempted to turn the British flanks, but there was very little fighting at close quarters. In the course of the afternoon Thackwell received authority to attack if he thought proper; but as the enemy was strongly posted, he deemed it safer to wait till next morning. By morning the Sikhs had disappeared, and it is doubtful whether they had any other object in their attack than that of gaining time for a retreat. Gough expressed his 'warm approval' of Thackwell's conduct, but there are some signs of dissatisfaction in his dispatch of 5 December.

Thackwell also commanded the cavalry at the Battle of Chillianwala on 13 January 1849, split into two brigades, one on each flank, and Thackwell actually directed only the left brigade. The right brigade, commanded by Brigadier Pope, found itself in deep trouble, and the 14th Light Dragoons routed.

At the Battle of Gujrat on 21 February 1849, Thackwell, was also on the left, and kept in check the enemy's cavalry when it tried to turn that flank. After the battle was won he led a vigorous pursuit till nightfall. In his despatch of 26 February 1849 Gough said: ‘I am also greatly indebted to this tried and gallant officer for his valuable assistance and untiring exertions throughout the present and previous operations as second in command with this force.’

Thackwell received the thanks of parliament for the third time, and was advanced to GCB on 5 June 1849.

Based on his diaries and correspondences, his memoir, The Military Memoirs of Lieut.-General Sir Joseph Thackwell was published in 1908, edited by British Army colonel and military historian, H.C. Wylly. Today, his portrait by Thomas Haington Wilson is at National Army Museum, London.

Later life
In November 1849, Thackwell he was given the colonelcy of the 16th Lancers. He was Inspector-general of cavalry from April 1854 to February 1855, and was promoted to lieutenant-general in June 1854. Lord Hastings suggested him for a baronetcy in 1856, but the Prime Minister Lord Palmerston demurred.

He had married, on 29 July 1825, Maria Audriah Roche, eldest daughter of Francis Roche of Rochemount, County Cork (an uncle of Edmond Roche, 1st Baron Fermoy). They had four sons and three daughters. He bought Aghada Hall in County Cork in 1853, and died there in April 1859.

His four sons became officers in the British Army. His second son, Major-General William de Wilton Roche Thackwell (1834–1910), served in the Crimean War and in Egypt in 1882. His third son, Osbert Dabitôt Thackwell (1837–1858), was lieutenant in the 15th Bengal Native Infantry when that regiment mutinied at Nasirabad on 28 May 1857. He had been commissioned as ensign on 25 June 1855, and became lieutenant on 23 November 1856. He was appointed interpreter to the 83rd Foot, was in several engagements with the mutineers, and distinguished himself in the defence of Nimach. He was present at the Siege of Lucknow, and, while walking in the streets after its capture, he was killed in the street by some of the sepoys on 20 March 1858. His fourth son, Francis John Roche Thackwell, served in the Royal Irish Lancers, and died in India in 1869 from wounds inflicted by a tiger.

His nephew Joseph Edwin Thackwell, CB (1813–1900) also served in the British Army, serving as Aide-de-Camp to his uncle when commanding the Meerut Division in India in 1852–53; he also served in the Crimean War, and also became a lieutenant general.

title: Canol shale play

text:
The Canol shale play is the name for a region of Canada's Northwest Territories that is being investigated as a potential source of tight oil (also referred to as shale oil).
The region centers around the known reserves of conventionally exploitable petroleum at Norman Wells.

Oil industry commentators see the region as a potentially rich source of future revenue. Local native groups are concerned over the regions remoteness and extreme environmental sensitivity, and to the lack of any testing standards to scientifically measure whether the use of toxic chemicals in hydraulic fracking is causing irredeemable damage to groundwater overlaying the regions of fractured rock.
The Northern Journal quoted some of the objections of Sahtu elder Madeline Karkagie:
{| class="wikitable"
|
"Who would give our land and water for money? The oil companies will only be here until they ruin the land, then they will go. That's like our back yard. We hunted there and trapped. They built a landing strip in an area where moose calved."
|}

The first test fracturing was conducted in the region in 2012, without any prior environmental assessments being performed. On October 6, 2013, The Globe and Mail reported that Henry Sykes, the CEO of MGM Energy, complained that environmental concerns were causing financially troubling delays. Canada's National Energy Board gave ConocoPhillips permission to build fracking wells in the region on October 30, 2013.
On January 17, 2014, The Globe and Mail reported drilling would begin in February.

The Canol pipeline (short for "Canadian Oil") was a small diameter pipeline completed by the US Army in 1944 to help supply conventional crude oil from Norman Wells to Alaska. It was built as a short-term project during World War II, and was operated barely more than a year.

title: Mouvements d'Harmonie

text:
Mouvements d'Harmonie op. 29 is a composition in one movement for wind ensemble, written by Graham Waterhouse in 1991, dedicated to William Waterhouse. It was first performed on 24 May 1991 in the Purcell Room, London. The piece was published in 2000 by Accolade, Holzhausen. It was recorded by Endymion in 2002 on a composer portrait CD.

History

Graham Waterhouse scored the work for two oboes, two clarinet, two horns, two bassoons and contra-bassoon or double bass. The title plays with the double meaning of both "mouvement" (movement and motion) and "harmonie" (harmony and wind ensemble). The composer dedicated the piece in one movement to his father, the bassoonist William Waterhouse. It was premiered in a concert on his 60th birthday on 24 May 1991 in the Purcell Room, London, by the Royal Northern College Wind Ensemble from the Royal Northern College where William Waterhouse was a professor. The first performance in the US was in 1998 as part of the convention of the International Double Reed Society at the Arizona State University in Tempe, played by ASU Harmonie Ensemble with Henry Skolnick, contrabassoon.

The piece was published in 2000 by Accolade. It was recorded in 2002 on a composer portrait CD by Endymion, conducted by Yaron Traub. Reviewer Culot noted: "Waterhouse’s father was the bassoonist William Waterhouse; the sound-world of the wind instrument holds no secret whatsoever for him." and described the work as an ABA structure in "a rather more austere idiom than the works for strings, but nevertheless quite attractive".

title: Punctuation Spire

text:
Punctuation Spire is a sculpture by American artist William Crutchfield that is installed in Campus Center on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus, which is near downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, and is owned by the university.

Description
Punctuation Spire is a 28-foot-tall, 4-foot-wide wooden sculpture supported internally by aluminum and steel materials.  The four sections of the column are designed with punctuation marks in a font of the artist’s making. The sculpture was finished with Deft Clear Wood Finish as a sealer, then a layer of Deft Clear Wood Finish (Gloss) and then 2 coats of Deft Clear Wood Finish (Semi-Gloss).
 Section one is a question mark;
 Section two is a set of parentheses that enclose a forward slash and a semicolon, with an em dash on top;
 Section three is an asterisk with brackets that enclose a colon;
 Section four is a set of quotation marks with an exclamation point and a period on top.

Historical information
Punctuation Spire was originally commissioned in 1981 by A. Alfred Taubman for the Beverly Center, an eight-story shopping mall in Los Angeles, California.  It was later gifted to Herron School of Art and Design.  The sculpture was initially intended to be displayed in the foyer of Eskenazi Hall, but it was found to be too tall for the space.  It was then placed in storage until the completion of the IUPUI Campus Center, which provided a more spacious area for the 28-foot tall work.  In July 2010, Punctuation Spire was installed in its current location within the foyer of the Campus Center, near its eastern entrance off of University Boulevard.

Punctuation Spire represents the English language and its importance throughout the development of civilization.  The work is one in a series of four monumental works including Alphabet Spire, Countdown, and Wish.  Alphabet Spire VI is located in Westfarms Mall, Farmington, Connecticut. The work, composed of the letters A to Z, was the first created in the series, and is 32 feet tall. It was installed in the mall at its grand opening in October 1974. Countdown, located in Short Hills Mall, Short Hills, New Jersey, is made up of the numbers zero through nine and serves as a tribute to Apollo 11, the mission which took the first humans to the moon.  Wish, located in Marley Station Mall, Glen Burnie, Maryland, is the most recent and is the first of the series to assemble a word.

Crutchfield has said of his works, “These four sculptures are the only ones I know of that deal with all the symbols of our modern written language. William Shakespeare's plays and poems had done the groundwork.  I hope that these four sculptures will remain as monuments to one of the greatest achievements of mankind, English language.”

Artist

William Crutchfield was born in Indianapolis where he earned his B.F.A. in painting from the Herron School of Art and Design in 1956. He received his M.F.A. from Tulane University and later returned to Herron to teach foundation studies and advanced drawing from 1962-1965.  A former Fulbright Scholar, Crutchfield is an internationally known artist working in a variety of mediums, from drawings, paintings, and lithographs to monumental sculpture. He has been featured in exhibitions around the world, with works in collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the Tate, London.

Former Dean Valerie Eickmeier, Herron School of Art and Design, has said of the artist:

“William Crutchfield has a whimsical and satirical approach to art that is at once humorous and thought provoking. The body of his work emphasizes trains, ships, aircraft and other things mechanical, yet there are many quirky figures, animals and other tangents on display throughout the decades. The range of scale and mediums he uses—from small notepad line drawings to six-foot watercolors to 28-foot tall wooden sculptures—qualify him as true multi-media artists.”

Crutchfield has said of his work:

“One of the most important things about my work is imagination. Everything in the composition is necessary, and it’s alive. I draw a complete idea (hopefully). Every dot, every line is in the right place. And that’s something I think about. The finished work should have multiple levels of expression.  I think drawing is the root of everything including sculpture and after you’ve drawn for so many years, you just think that way.”

Crutchfield died April 20, 2015, in his home in California.

title: Tulipa dasystemon

text:
Tulipa dasystemon, synonym Tulipa neustruevae, is a bulbous herbaceous perennial species of tulip (Tulipa) in the family Liliaceae. It belongs to the section Biflores.

Description
The small bulb has a dark, papery tunic in most populations. It produces two green pairs of linear leaves which are up to 15 cm long and about 1.5 cm wide. The second pair of leaves is normally longer and narrower. The yellow tepals are up to 3 cm long and 1 cm wide, the outer three with greenish-yellow or dull purple on the outside. The anthers and filaments are yellow. Populations that have been described under the synonym Tulipa neustruevae have firmer bulb tunics, more glossy leaves, and brighter yellow flowers.

Taxonomy
Tulipa dasystemon was first described by Eduard August von Regel in 1877 as Orithyia dasystemon. In 1879, he transferred it to Tulipa. It is placed in section Biflores because of the hairy filament bases.

The Russian botanist Aleksei Vvedensky mentioned a plant in 1935 in the Flora of the USSR under Tulipa dasystemon and intended to provide a scientific description as T. paradasystemon. A description under the name T. neustruevae was published by Eugenia Pobedimova in 1949. Wilford suspected it to be a low-altitude form of Tulipa dasystemon, and it is treated as such by Plants of the World Online.

Distribution and habitat
Tulipa dasystemon is native to central Asia – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Xinjiang in China. It occurs on sunny slopes at altitudes up to 3,200 m. Populations that have been described under the synonym Tulipa neustruevae are found at lower altitudes.

Cultivation
Tulipa dasystemon has been confused in cultivation. Bulbs sold under this name at one time were actually a different, but similar species, Tulipa urumiensis (syn. Tulipa tarda). Bulbs of this species are also cultivated under the name Tulipa neustruevae. In England, the plant is recommended for growing in an alpine house or bulb frame.

title: The Death of Me (Asking Alexandria song)

text:
"The Death of Me" is a song by English rock band Asking Alexandria. It is the band's third single from their third studio album, From Death to Destiny. The single was released on 28 March 2013 via the Sumerian Records YouTube page.

Track listings
Digital 45
The Death of Me - 4:18
The Death of Me (Rock Mix) - 3:24

Rock Mix

On 16 April 2013, the band released a 'rock mix' for the song as the fourth single of the album. Later, on 22 July, they released a music video for the 'rock mix'. The rock mix was featured as a bonus track for the From Death to Destiny album. It was mixed by Kevin Churko, who is known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, and In This Moment.

Music video
The music video starts when a man (portrayed by Danny Worsnop) finds a kid and brings him to a dark room, with imprisoned and naked women, where the man and his band performs. The women are in vending machines, and the man provides a coin for the boy. Each of the imprisoned women represent different addictions: cocaine, pills, alcohol, and heroin. Each of the women try to 'persuade' the boy to take them. In the end, the boy "buys into" the heroin addiction/girl. Money starts flowing from the ceiling, indicating the massive amounts of money spent on the chosen addiction. The other girls become angry, and all of them break out of the vending machines.
This represents certain band member's addictions, which started as a young boy. The song itself is about Worsnop overcoming, and ending, his addiction. The video uses the rock mix of the song.

Other versions
On 1 March 2014, Asking Alexandria released via YouTube an acoustic version of the song.

Personnel
 Danny Worsnop – lead vocals, additional guitar
 Ben Bruce – lead guitar, backing vocals
 Cameron Liddell – rhythm guitar
 Sam Bettley – bass
 James Cassells – drums

title: Darko Hudelist

text:
Darko Hudelist (born 1959) is a Croatian journalist, non-fiction writer and researcher of contemporary history.

Biography
Hudelist was born in Zagreb and completed his elementary and secondary education (gymnasium) in Đurđevac. In 1982, he graduated from the Faculty of Political Science in Zagreb with a bachelor's degree in political science. He began his career in journalism in 1979 working as a rock critic for the youth weekly publication Polet. From 1982 until 1991, Hudelist was as a regular contributor and member of the editorial staff for the magazine Start.  In the late 1980s, he systemically monitored and analyzed events preceding the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, after which he published his first book Kosovo – bitka bez iluzija (Kosovo – A Battle without Illusions, 1989). His legendary investigative report Split vražji otok (lit. Devil Island Split) was published during the same period (Start, March 1988).

In 1989, he collaborated with the French magazine Les Temps Modernes which published his analytical articles on the conflicts between Albanians and Macedonians in the Socialist Republic of Macedonia; these articles were originally published in Start in the spring of 1988.

Hudelist marked the period during which the first political parties in the Socialist Republic of Croatia were created with his book Banket u Hrvatskoj: Prilozi povijesti hrvatskog višestranačja 1989.-1990. (Banquet in Croatia: Historical Contributions to Croatia's Multipartyism during 1989–1990), which was published in the early summer of 1991. The book proved to be very successful (and it was preceded by a six-part series published in the Nedjeljna Dalmacija weekly newspaper). A slightly revised edition of the book was published in 1999.

In 1992, Hudelist published a book about war journalism in Croatia titled Novinari pod šljemom (Journalists under Helmets).

In 1994, he served as an advisor for Croatia's BBC team which was working on the documentary The Death of Yugoslavia. From 1993 until the late 1990s, he was also a regular contributor for Erasmus, a magazine which promoted liberal democracy.

In 1995, Hudelist began writing for the leading Croatian weekly news magazine Globus, for which he still writes today. He authored and published many articles for Globus as well as having published extensive analytical interviews with prominent Croatian politicians and full-length series about the most significant political and historically-political topics like Ratni memoari generala Martina Špegelja (War Memoirs of General Martin Špegelj, 1995), Tuđman: biografija (Tuđman: A Biography, 1996–1997), Kanadski životopis Gojka Šuška (A Canadian Biography of Gojko Šušak, 1999–2000), Trinaest stoljeća kršćanstva u Hrvata (Thirteen Centuries of Christianity amongst Croatians, 2008), etc.

At the end of 1995, he wrote a lengthy Izvještaj o hrvatskoj estradi (A Report on Croatia's Pop Music) for Globus in the form of two separate texts. From 1996, he spent several years studying the life story of Croatia's first President Franjo Tuđman. This led to the publishing of his book Tuđman: biografija (Tuđman: Biography) in 2004, which the Jutarnji List in early 2005 proclaimed the best book of the year in the field of journalism.

After that book, Darko Hudelist began his extensive research of the history of Croatian-Serbian relations and conflicts in the 20th century. In May 2006, he established a research office in Belgrade where he resided until June 2011. During that time, he carried out archival research (in all of Belgrade's historical archives, from the Yugoslavian Archive to the Archive of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art) and he spoke with numerous witnesses of contemporary history. The most notable amongst these witnesses was the father of modern Serbian nationalism Dobrica Ćosić.

In his book Moj beogradski dnevnik: Susreti i razgovori s Dobricom Ćosićem 2006.-2011. (My Belgrade Journal: Meetings and conversations with Dobrica Ćosić 2006–2011), published in July 2012, Hudelist immortalized the period he spent in Belgrade.

In parallel to conducting his research in Belgrade, Hudelist was also researching in Zagreb where he especially focused on the political activities of the Croatian Catholic church in Yugoslavia – with an emphasis on the 1970s and 1980s during which time the church's large project Trinaest stoljeća kršćanstva u Hrvata (Thirteen centuries of Christianity in Croatia, 1975–1984).,

In 2013, Darko Hudelist completed the research he carried out for multiple years and he turned to writing new books. He announced the release of an entire library of books that would carry the title Dvadeseto stoljeće (The Twentieth Century) and which would be composed of several individual books, each of which would be dedicated to a particular topic. The first book would deal with the church (both within the context of the world and domestically, with an emphasis on the Croatian Catholic church's Jubilee cycle Thirteen centuries of Christianity in Croatia (Thirteen centuries of Christianity amongst Croatians). while the second book would be about Croatian-Serbian relations and conflicts (including the war and breakup of SFR Yugoslavia) in the 20th century.,

A new book about Franjo Tuđman is planned to be published, which will mainly deal with his statesmanship activities (in the period between 1990 and 1999).
The first book in that series (the book about the Catholic church and its political activities in the SFR Yugoslavia) will be released at the beginning of the second half of 2015.
Since 2014, Darko Hudelist has been writing for the Jutarnji List.

Works
His first book Kosovo – bitka bez iluzija (Kosovo – A Battle without Illusions) was published in May 1989. This book deals with the conflict between Serbians and Albanians in Kosovo in the late 1980s. Also in this book, Hudelist foreshadows the bloody breakup of Yugoslavia which soon follows in the early 1990s.

Hudelist's second book, Banket u Hrvatskoj: Prilozi povijesti hrvatskog višestranačja 1989.-1990. (Banquet in Croatia: Historical Contributions to Croatia's Multipartyism of 1989–1990) gives a witty Krležian portrayal of politicians and intellectuals who were, during the breakup of Yugoslavia, forming the first political parties in Croatia and in such a way laying the foundation for Croatia's separation from the SFR Yugoslavia and its independence. The main protagonist during these events was the founder of the HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) Franjo Tuđman. The first edition of the book Banket u Hrvatskoj (Banquet in Croatia) was published in 1991 and the second (slightly revised edition) was published in 1999.

Hudelist's third book Novinari pod šljemom (Journalists Under Helmets, 1992) analyses war journalism in Croatia during the Homeland War of 1991.

Darko Hudelist's fourth book Tuđman: biografija (Tuđman: A Biography) was the first integrated biography about Croatia's first President Franjo Tuđman. The book is quite lengthy (with some 1500 cards of text); it proved to be very successful and was sold out in a short amount of time; however, it also caused numerous controversies.

Hudelist's fifth book Moj beogradski dnevnik: Susreti i razgovori s Dobricom Ćosićem 2006.-2011. (My Belgrade Journal: Meetings and Conversations with Dobrica Ćosić 2006–2011) was a kind of recapitulation of his historical research in Belgrade during that period and, at the same time, a fairly complex and multi-dimensional portrait of the most significant protagonist of Serbian nationalism in Tito's Yugoslavia, Dobrica Ćosić. Amongst other things he shared with Hudelist, Ćosić revealed his suicidal thoughts, which he was obsessed with since his youth and which significantly predefined his public and political (appositional) activities in the SFR Yugoslavia.
At the same time, that book was a precursor for Hudelist's new cycle of books under the collective title Dvadeseto stoljeće (The Twentieth Century).

Awards

Received the "Sedam sekretara SKOJ-a" award in 1989 for the book Kosovo – bitka bez iluzija (Kosovo – A Battle without Illusions).

Received the Croatian Journalists' Association's award for Best Interview of the Year in 2002 (for his interview with Andrija Hebrang).

Received the Jutarnji list'''s award for Best Book of the Year in the Field of Journalism in 2005 for his book Tuđman – biografija (Tuđman: A Biography'').

title: Metodie Bujor

text:
Metodie Bujor (born June 9, 1974; , ) is a classically trained baritone and popular Russian singer.

Music career

Metodie Bujor started his career in 2000 with a Moscow Theater troupe New Opera where he made his debut as Sparafucile in Verdi’s Rigoletto.  Since then Bujor has sung as a featured performer at the most famous venues in the world: Mikhailovsky and Mariinsky Theaters in St. Petersburg, Russia, as well as The Leipzig Opera in Germany.

In 2009 Bujor made a decision that completely changed his career. He decided to part with opera and crossover to a more popular format. In the following years he performed in different festivals, gala-concerts and small venues in his beloved St. Petersburg. As a result of his growing popularity Bujor’s first solo concert on May 24, 2012 at the most prestigious concert venue in the city Grand Concert Hall Oktyabrsky, was completely sold out.

Television

In the summer 2012 Bujor auditioned and was chosen to participate in the Russian version of the “Voice” which was broadcast in November 2012 on Channel One, the biggest television network in Russia and seen over twelve times zones nationwide. His breakthrough performances, demeanor and ability to charm the judges and audiences added to his already growing popularity. After the blind auditions, during the battle rounds Bujor’s coach, Russian composer Alexander Gradsky, couldn’t decide which of the artists to pick to go on to the next round. What he did instead is throw a coin. It landed tails and Bujor who was one of the favorites to win, was out. It raised cries of outrage within the viewing audiences and well as strong support among press and Internet coverage.

Immediately after realizing how popular Bujor had become and seeing the potential for a bright future Channel One Russia invited him to participate in one of the highest rated programs on Russian television “Two Stars”.  where a professional singer takes a celebrity and teaches them how to sing. The show featured at least 12 duets. Bujor’s celebrity partner turned out to be prima ballerina, Anastasia Volochkova. The first episode aired on Channel One on February 15, 2013 and the finale was broadcast on June 7, 2013.  During the length of the show Bujor’s ability to connect with the viewers, his amazing voice and exciting personality catapulted him to an “overnight” success.

During filming, Bujor had announced two more solo concerts at the Grand Concert Hall “Oktyabrsky” on December 23, 2012 and March 9, 2013. Both sold out in advance.

Tour Memories

In August 2013 Bujor starts his first solo 57-city tour called “Memories”.

Bujor’s first solo album is scheduled to come out in the fall of 2014.

title: Nigel Rusted

text:
Nigel Francis Scarth Rusted,  (July 1, 1907 – March 18, 2012) was a Canadian medical doctor. He is credited with having made outstanding contributions to the medical profession in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The son of Rev. Canon Ernest Rusted and Faith Hollands Rusted, he was born in Salvage, Newfoundland and grew up in Upper Island Cove. Rusted attended high school in St. John's and attended newly established Memorial University College, graduating in 1927. He attended Dalhousie Medical School and, during the summers, worked as health officer aboard the , which visited communities along the Labrador coast. He interned at the tuberculosis sanatorium in Kentville, at the Aberdeen Hospital in New Glasgow and at the Victoria Hospital in Halifax. After graduating in 1933, Rusted accepted a position at the St. John's General Hospital. After suffering a severe throat infection in 1935, he worked on the floating clinic ship MV Lady Anderson for a year. In 1936, he opened a private clinic in St. John's and also became a junior surgeon at the General Hospital. From 1954 to 1968, he served as chief surgeon at the General Hospital.

Marco Island Airways is a defunct airline based in Miami, Florida, United States.

History
Marco Island Airways was formed in 1972 and commenced scheduled flights in 1973 from Miami International Airport, with a maintenance base at Opa Locka Airport on the western outskirts of Miami. Initial scheduled services were flown between Miami and Marco Island on Florida's Gulf Coast. Services were added to Tampa in 1980 and to Lakeland, Florida in 1981.

The airline also operated contract flights, as Air Florida Commuter, but retaining the Marco Island color scheme, in the early 1980s with service to Key West and the Bahamas. The airline was acquired by Provincetown-Boston Airline (PBA) in 1984 and its operations were fully merged into PBA during June 1986.

Fleet

The Marco Island Airways fleet initially  consisted of six Martin 4-0-4 twin-engine pressurized piston-engine 44-seat airliners (shown in heading image), five examples being operated as at March 1985.  Three of the smaller twin turboprop Beech 99 (N1921T, N1922T, N1923T) were included in the fleet in 1973. Four Piper PA-31 Navajo eight-seat airliner was also operated in the early 1980s.

title: Bo Bryan

text:
Bo Bryan (born October 17, 1948) is a Southern writer, novelist, best known for nonfiction, a regional bestseller SHAG, The Legendary Dance of the South.  SHAG won awards for design and content.  Bryan’s novel, Bitsty Nickel Might Have AIDS, generated controversy in the early 1990s.  The novel was optioned for film.    Bryan abruptly departed the Southern literary scene in 1997.  He is known to have produced a quantity of work since then but has published nothing in recent years.

Early life

Born George Waller Bryan, Junior, the author writes under his family nickname “Bo”. He was raised in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a seaside resort and carnival town.  Bryan’s writing often explores the vacation mentality, the desire for escape from ordinary life, the temporary disregard of ordinary morality and its consequences.

Bryan’s  ultra-conservative family was instrumental in founding and developing Myrtle Beach, which Bryan finds ironic, given the libertine nature of many amusements found there.  His locally legendary grandfather was a carnival boss and village tycoon.  His father, a lawyer and no less a local legend, prosecuted war criminals in Germany after WWII.  George Waller Bryan, Senior (nicknamed “Buster”) went on to develop real estate, a hotel, and several golf courses, including the famed The Dunes Club.  Buster Bryan was considered visionary for packaging golf course greens fees and hotel accommodations, attracting tens of thousands of new customers to Myrtle Beach.  Bo Bryan was expected to follow in the footsteps.

Southern literature dictates that family legends shall be the prison of heirs apparent.  Bo Bryan failed to meet expectations.  A below average student, he struggled with dyslexia.  Sent to remedial reading camps, he made slight progress.  His father’s disappointment carried over; expectations remained unchanged.  Bryan rebelled, then escaped.  In high school, he developed a gambling habit, playing poker obsessively.  After graduation, he dropped out of college and traveled as a professional gambler.  Upon the sudden death of his father from bronchial pneumonia, Bryan quit gambling and joined the Army.  Bryan found that he loved to march, was a crack shot with an M-16, joined the drill team, and graduated first in his class at Leader School.  He did not go to Vietnam.  Released from service, he traveled, learning to crew on oceangoing sailboats.  Telling verbal stories of his adventures, he began construction of his own legend.

Writing career

Bryan began writing at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1971.  Creative writing teachers Max Steele, Doris Betts, and William Blackburn allowed Bryan to audit classes.  Having no foundation in the reader’s experience of literature, he judged himself illiterate. His teachers considered his condition advantageous to discovery of a unique literary voice.  Dyslexia, long a handicap, was suddenly a catalyst for passion.  Bryan became a constant reader.  To writing he gave years learning sentence structure trial and error, gaining a feel for the architecture of paragraphs, finally realizing stories of his own.

His novel, Bitsy Nickle Might Have AIDS, published in 1991, captures a moment of collision between leftover Southern Victorian morality and the post-modern sexual revolution.  The book predates and strangely foretells of the Monica Lewinsky affair.  Bitsy Nickle is rife with political satire and black comedy relevant to heterosexual transmission of HIV in the early years of the AIDS epidemic.  The book was instantly controversial.  Bryan was invited to speak at college campuses and private school auditoriums in the Bible Belt.  While admonishing young people to protect themselves sexually, he challenged local politicians to set a good example by being publicly tested for AIDS; often elected officials invited him to leave town. Bitsy Nickle Might Have AIDS was optioned for film.

Bryan’s second book SHAG, The Legendary Dance of the South', released in 1995, is accurate history recounted as prose poetry, the true story of the first social dance conceived in performance with rock n roll music.  Before the twist, before the watusi, the frug, and the swim, in 1943, ten years before Elvis Presley, came the shag dance, a unique, fast-footed, smooth, cool derivation of the jitterbug.  The shag became a Southern tradition, today recognized as the official state dance of both North and South Carolina.
S

Renewed career

Bryan began publishing again with journalism for charities, writing a series of newspaper articles and Internet copy to promote Project Amazonas, a group he joined on medical expeditions servicing primitive villages along the Amazon River.  He wrote and produced a film to raise funds for a new hospital ship.

Back in Myrtle Beach, journalism covering homeless students attending his high school alma mater initiated an outpouring of community support, raising tens-of-thousands of donations in a matter of days.  Bryan continued to organize and write for homeless students, helping to found Hope House of Myrtle Beach, a charity that nurtures and provides for the immediate needs of homeless high school students.

title: Nicolas Fiévé

text:
Nicolas Bernard Fiévé is a French historian of Japanese Architecture; he was born in Paris in 1959 and is the son of the
cinema decorator, Bernard Fiévé. In 1993, he became a member of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and in 1996 he joined the Collège de France’s Japanese Civilization research team. In 2007, he was elected Professor at the Historical and Philological Sciences Department at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE), where he teaches the history of pre-modern (16th to 19th centuries) Japanese urbanism, architecture and gardens. He is a member of the Accademia Ambrosiana, Milan. Nicolas Fiévé is currently Director of the École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO), or French School of Asian Studies.

Biography
After graduating from secondary school in literary studies, Nicolas Fiévé was admitted to the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Paris-La Villette. In 1984, shortly after obtaining his DPLG degree and graduating as an architect, he left for Japan with a scholarship from the Japanese government, and he joined the research laboratory in Architectural Theory at the University of Kyoto led by Professor Katō Kunio 加藤邦夫, an architect and phenomenologist as well as a disciple of the modernist Masuda Tomoya 増田友也 (1914-1981) whom he had recently succeeded at the University of Kyōto and who introduced Anthropology of Architecture to Japan. When Nicolas Fiévé joined his research group, Katō Kunio was lecturing on Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception while finishing a Japanese translation of Christian Noberg-Schulz's Roots of Modern Architecture and beginning that of Genius Loci. Under the tutelage of this remarkable master, Nicolas Fiévé undertook to study the architecture of medieval Japanese tea houses from a phenomenological perspective and began his research on medieval Japanese architecture and space.

While in Japan, Nicolas Fiévé took an avid interest in the study of Japanese and its different scripts, and upon his return to France in 1986, he decided to further his knowledge of Classical Japanese. The following year, having obtained his undergraduate degree in Japanese, he began a master's degree in Classical Japanese at the Université Paris VII where he turned out to be the only student of his class. In addition to lectures on Classical Japanese dispensed by Jacqueline Pigeot (Université Paris VII), his thesis supervisor, he also attended Jean-Noël Robert’s (EPHE) and Francine Hérail’s (EPHE) lectures in Sino-Japanese Studies. Throughout this period he earned a living working at the Paris Office of the daily Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shinbun.

In 1988, armed with another scholarship from the Japanese government, Nicolas Fiévé returned to Japan to work again in Katō's research unit where he remained for the following five years. In 1989, Nicolas Fiévé completed his Master's thesis on the architecture of tea houses and obtained his master's degree in Japanese Studies at University Paris VII. He pursued his doctorate studies within Katō's research group at the Department of Architecture, Engineering Faculty of the University of Kyoto (1990–93), and, under the supervision of Jacqueline Pigeot, began writing his thesis (in French) on the elite classes during the Ashikaga shoguns. During this period he attended Professor Katō's lectures on major Japanese works pertaining to Japanese aesthetics and architecture, such as Masuda Tomoya's (Spiritual) Landscape of the House and Garden, Watsuji Tetsurō’s 和辻哲郎 (1889-1960) Fūdo and Kuki Shūzō’s 九鬼周造 (1848-1941) The Structure of Iki. At the time, he also worked at the Atelier Ryō run by the architect Kinoshita Ryōichi and participated in the complete survey of rural houses in the Shiga region.

Upon his return to France in 1993, Nicolas Fiévé obtained his PhD degree and title of Doctor in East　Asian Studies specialized in Japanese Civilization and joined the CNRS as Researcher. He was first appointed to the Institut d’Asie Orientale in Lyon for three years before becoming a member of the Collège de France's Japanese Civilization research team, where he continues to work alongside several of his former professors: Paul Akamatsu, Francine Hérail, Jacqueline Pigeot, Jean-Noël Robert, Jean-Jacques Tschudin and Cécile Sakai. In 2006, the Japanese Civilization research team —founded as a joint research unit with the CNRS by the Collège de France professor Bernard Frank— merged with two other research units, the Chinese and Tibetan Civilizations Studies teams from the EPHE, to form the Far Eastern Civilizations research Centre (Centre de Recherche sur les Civilisations de l’Asie Orientale) or CRCAO (UMR 8155 of the CNRS in partnership with the EPHE, the Collège de France and Université Paris-Diderot). Actively involved in the creation of the CRCAO, Nicolas Fiévé was appointed the unit's Deputy Director, working alongside the archaeologist and Sinologist Alain Thote (EPHE), from 2006 to 2010, and was nominated Director, from 2014 to 2016.

In 2007, Nicolas Fiévé became a member of the History of the Modern and Contemporary World Section (Section 33) of the National Committee for Scientific Research and was also nominated Professor at the EPHE, Historical and Philological Sciences Department, where he initiated a program of lectures on the history of pre-modern Japan's architecture and gardens—the first and only of its kind in Europe. Leaving purely urban studies aside for a while, he has resumed his work on the habitat of the Japanese elite, with a focus on architectural space in the retreats and retirement villas of Japan's 17th century elite.

Work
Fiévé's research hinges on two fields of study: on the one hand, the study of ancient documents (both literary and administrative, technical handbooks, maps and plans) pertaining to architecture, urbanism and landscape (including parks and gardens)—generally resulting in the establishment of lexicons and glossaries of technical vocabulary and translation of various texts— and on the other hand, in situ research, based on his experience and perception as an architect. These two complementary approaches, which are not always easy to conciliate, are the fruit of his dual training in Japanese Philology and Architectural Phenomenology.

Fiévé conducts his fieldwork using the tools he acquired through his training as an architect, i.e. physical experience of the site under study, and observation of its spaces, routes, forms, materials, scale, and temporality, together with architectural survey based on measurements, drawings and photography. In his first years as a young researcher from 1980 to 1990, Nicolas Fiévé visited hundreds of sites throughout Japan: palaces, temples, towns and gardens, with a special focus on forty or so historical tea houses. He then cross-references and combines his field research with the study of related historical documents.

In his first work on tea houses (1989), in part based on the research of the architect and historian Horiguchi Sutemi 堀口捨己 (1895-1984), Nicolas Fiévé addresses the subject of the tea houses’ architectural space through the study of writings ascribed to Takeno Jōō 武野紹鴎  (1502-1555), Sen no Rikyū 千利休 (1522-1585), Yamanoue Shōji 山上宗二 (1544-1590). His work on the tea houses may already be described as a ‘history of habitats’ or as an ‘anthropological study of historical space’ since the sources he uses were written by those who built the sites in question or occupied them in the past; thus his philological approach serves to define an anthropological perspective on space.

This dual approach that characterizes all Nicolas Fiévé's work is often inspired by that of the geographer Augustin Berque, principally in the use of mesology (the study of the mutual interrelationships between the living creatures and their biological, sociological and environmental surroundings). Nicolas Fiévé's approach differs, however, in that he always retains an architect's perspective and his historical analysis always supports the conception, underlying all his studies, that architecture first & foremost serves man.

The research method Nicolas Fiévé gradually developed takes into account the architecture, spaces and landscape of parks and gardens together with the surrounding architectural and urban landscape. Thus his work L’architecture et la ville du Japon ancien (1996) shows that the mutations in space occurring in 14th and 15th centuries Kyōto follow a process similar to that occurring in palaces and in the composition of urban areal space wherein each sub-space (neighborhood, temple, shrine, palace, house, pavilion) represents an independent unit in which the same structural contrasts are reproduced .

This work received the Mainichi Shibusawa-Claudel award and the Giles Prize from the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, and a laudatory review from Mack Horton (University of Berkeley). Following its publication, Nicolas Fiévé embarked on a research project that had been dear to his heart for many years: to compile a history of Kyōto combining the perspective of architectural anthropology he acquired from Katō Kunio with the historical and philological approach he inherited from Jacqueline Pigeot and Francine Hérail during his Japanese studies.

In order to carry out this flagship project, Nicolas Fiévé assembled a joint team of French researchers in Japanese Civilization –including historians Paul Akamatsu, François Macé, Mieko Macé, Nathalie Kouamé, Francine Hérail, and Charlotte von Verschuer– and Japanese specialists in architecture and urbanism –including Katō Kunio, Takahashi Yasuo, Kōzai Katsuhiko, Hirao Kazuhiko, Sendai Shōichirō and Yamasaki Masafumi. He also rallied the support of the Prodig Laboratory of CNRS that created over two hundred original maps of Kyoto for the project, which, in addition, received sponsorship from the Toyota Foundation for Research, the CNRS, the French Ministry of Culture (Architecture and Heritage Department), the UNESCO, and the World Heritage fund.

For the purposes of the project, Nicolas Fiévé returned to Kyoto in 2001 as a resident at the Kujōyama Villa in order to conduct in situ research on Kyōto's historical sites. The project, centering on the question of habitat, was developed in a broad historical perspective–from the city's origins to the present– and based on a comprehensive survey of the city's architecture and landscape. It resulted in the publication, in 2008, of the Historical Atlas of Kyoto. Spatial analysis of the memory systems of a city which received the Carroll Award from the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. Columbia Professor Henry Smith II's acclamatory review published in 2010 in the Monumenta Nipponica journal illustrates the Atlas’ appeal to a wide international audience of researchers in both urbanism and Japanese studies.

From June 2009 to December 2010, Nicolas Fiévé returned to Japan as part of a delegation sent to Kyoto by the École française d'Extrême-Orient, which enabled him to conduct a thorough study of thirty-six landscaped gardens –historical parks belonging to the aristocracy and daimyos of the Edo era– across the Japanese archipelago, and to assemble a vast collection of documents, including surveys, books, reproductions of old maps, and thousands of photos that have since served to illustrate his weekly lectures at the EPHE.

This field research has also resulted in his recent work on the Katsura Villa, a retreat built by the Hachijō princes in the 17th century; Fiévé's aim here is to highlight the intertwining myths that shaped the history of the site, a history born from the fundamental relationship between earth and heaven, man and the sacred. Through the study of poems pertaining to the site, he shows how the princes, invoking the genius loci of Katsura, embarked on an architectural and landscape project that was designed as an ode to the genius of past poets incarnating the most glorious moments of imperial virtue. The princes’ endeavor reflected an unprecedented renewal in landscape design that was to have a long lasting impact on the subsequent development of Japanese architecture.

title: Thomas Burke (tenor)

text:
Thomas Burke (2 March 1890 – 13 September 1969) was a British operatic tenor. He trained in Britain and Italy and sang at the Royal Opera House in 1919 and 1920. Burke appeared in several films and had a long recording career.

Early life
Thomas Aspinall Burke was born on 2 March 1890 in Leigh of Irish descent. He was the eldest of nine children. The family grew up in poor circumstances. Burke's father was a labourer in the coal mines and his mother stayed at home to look after the family who lived at 7 Mather Lane. Burke, as an Irish Catholic boy, was educated by Jesuit priests at St Joseph's School. He left school at age 12 to work part-time in Courtauld's Silk Mill. In 1904, at age 14, he started working in a coal mine.

Burke was a member of Leigh Borough Brass Band where he learnt to play the cornet and was promoted to first cornet player. The band competed at The Crystal Palace where Burke won the silver medal for the best individual cornet soloist.

During his teenage years Burke learnt to play the piano and joined the local church choir.

Early career
Burke's first professional opportunity happened when a local music society was presenting Handel's Messiah. The tenor they had engaged fell ill at the last minute and Burke substituted. He received a good review and was paid. Around this time Burke had received some tuition from a local teacher of voice.

Burke attended the Manchester College of Music. In 1913, when he was 23 he was contracted by Hugo Gorelitz, a London-based impresario. The contract provided for Burke to study under Edgardo Levi at the Royal Academy of Music in London, whilst giving paid singing engagements at various venues in the capital. Eventually the contract provided for Burke to go to Italy to continue his studies.

Burke studied with maestro Colli in Milan where he debuted at the Teatro Dal Verme as the Duke in Rigoletto. Burke had a subsequent engagement in Palermo but before he was able to make his mark on Italian opera he was recalled home to be conscripted. Burke did not join the services but embarked on a series of charity concerts until the war ended.

Post-war career
Burke debuted at a performance before King George V at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, as Rodolfo to Nellie Melba's Mimì in La bohème when the opera house re-opened in 1919 after World War I. He also sang the Duke of Mantua, Pinkerton, and Count Almaviva in the same season. Burke performed at the Royal Albert Hall.

In 1920 Burke continued singing at the Royal Opera House where he performed in several roles including the first English performances of Puccini's Gianni Schicchi and  Il tabarro when he performed the parts of Rinuccio and Luigi respectively.

Burke embarked on a North American career during the 1920s after accepting an offer from William Morris, a theatrical manager. He was billed as The Irish Tenor from his arrival and his first recital at the National Theatre (Washington, D.C.) on Tuesday 5 October 1920 was a varied program of operatic arias, ballads and Irish folk songs that received good reviews. He continued performing similar material until at least 1922 in a variety of locations including Washington D.C., Omaha and South Bend, Indiana.

From 1923 to 1927 Tom appeared at Keith's Theatre, Washington D.C. where he often topped the bill of a variety performance.

Burke returned to perform at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1927 and 1928 performing as the Duke in Rigoletto and Turiddu in Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana. Burke continued singing in non-opera performances and sang in his home town, Leigh, in November 1927 and January 1928. Through the late 1920s and early 1930s Burke made recordings and appeared at live concerts such as the National Advertising Benevolent Society's Annual Festival.

Recording career

He had a significant recording career which included popular song, such as "The Minstrel Boy" as well as opera arias. His recording career began with Columbia Records in 1920 and continued with Dominion Records, Electric Imperial, American Columbias and other companies.

A limited discography is available at Discogs and includes the following albums:
 The Last Of The Great - Tom Burke,
 Encore - Tom Burke, The Lancashire Caruso,
 A Toast To Tom Burke, and
 The Minstrel Boy.

From 1932 to 1938 Burke appeared in four films, Gipsy Blood, a film version of Carmen in which he starred as Don José, Father O'Flynn in which he played the title role, Kathleen Mavoureen in which he played the leading male, Mike Rooney, and My Irish Molly in which he played Danny Gallagher.

Later life

In February 1932 Burke filed for voluntary bankruptcy from which he was released in July 1932.

He was the husband of, and subsequently divorced from, actress Marie Rosa Burke (née Altfuldisch) and the father of actress Patricia Burke who was born in Milan, Italy on 23 March 1917. He was subsequently married in December 1935 to Pauline Steele-Dixon with whom he had another daughter Jenifer J.A.B. Burke in June 1937. Tom Burke died in Carshalton, Surrey on 13 September 1969, aged 79.

Thomas Burke is remembered in Leigh with the naming of the local Wetherspoon's public house in the former Leigh Grand Theatre and Hippodrome building.

Controversy

On February 28, 2019, an anonymous Twitter user accused Mattheisen of sexual assault. On March 7th, Mattheisen released a statement on the band's Facebook to acknowledge the accusations and issued an apology to the victim. He further explained he reached out to the victim, offering to work with an independent mediator so she could have "a space to safely share their story while retaining privacy and confidentiality." The woman declined, stating they were not ready. In the same post, Mattheisen announced the band would be donating all the proceeds for their upcoming tour to charities, as well as committing to seeking therapy. Mattheisen's statement saw mixed response, with some praising his acceptance of responsibility, while others expressed anger and disgust at the revelations.
