title: Blossom Dearie

text: Margrethe Blossom Dearie (April 28, 1924 – February 7, 2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist. She had a recognizably light and girlish voice. Dearie performed regular engagements in London and New York City over many years and collaborated with many musicians, including Johnny Mercer, Miles Davis, Jack Segal, Johnny Mandel, Duncan Lamont, Bob Dorough, Dave Frishberg, and Jay Berliner.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Margrethe Blossom Dearie was born on April 28, 1924, in East Durham, New York, to a father of Scots Irish descent and a mother of Norwegian descent.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: She reportedly received the name Blossom because of "a neighbor who delivered peach blossoms to her house the day she was born", although she once recalled it was her brothers who brought the flowers to the house.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: After high school, Dearie moved to Manhattan to pursue a music career. Dropping her first name, she began to sing in groups such as the Blue Flames (with the Woody Herman Orchestra) and the Blue Reys (with Alvino Rey's band) before starting her solo career.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Dearie moved to Paris in 1952. She formed a vocal group, the Blue Stars (1952–1955), which included Michel Legrand's sister, Christiane, and Bob Dorough. In 1954, the group had a hit in France with a French-language version of "Lullaby of Birdland", arranged by Michel Legrand. The Blue Stars would later evolve into the Swingle Singers. On Dearie's first solo album, released two years later, she played the piano but did not sing.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: In 1954, Dearie and King Pleasure recorded "Moody's Mood for Love" (a vocal adaptation by Eddie Jefferson of a James Moody sax solo for "I'm in the Mood for Love") and this is so noted on the Prestige album "King Pleasure Sings". One of Dearie's most famous song recordings from that period is "The Riviera", with music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Joseph McCarthy, in 1956.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: After returning from France in 1957, Dearie made her first six American albums as a solo singer and pianist for Verve Records in the late 1950s and early 1960s, mostly in a small trio or quartet setting. Dave Garroway, host of "The Today Show" and an early fan of Dearie, featured her on several occasions, increasing her exposure with the popular audience. In 1962, Dearie recorded a radio commercial for Hires Root Beer. As it proved very popular, the LP "Blossom Dearie Sings Rootin' Songs" was released as a premium item that could be ordered for one dollar and a proof of purchase.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: In 1964, Dearie recorded the album "May I Come In?" (Capitol/EMI Records). It was recorded (atypically for her) with an orchestra. During this same period, she frequently performed at New York supper clubs and, in 1966, made her first appearance at Ronnie Scott's club in London. Dearie recorded four albums in the United Kingdom during the 1960s that were released on the Fontana label, including a recording of her 1966 performance at Ronnie Scott's. She also performed regularly on Bernard Braden's TV show. For a time she also performed with Dutch singer Ramses Shaffy.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: In 1970, after a period of inactivity, Dearie released the album "That's Just the Way I Want to Be" (including her homage to Dusty Springfield). In 1974, Dearie established her own label, Daffodil Records, which allowed her to fully control the recording and distribution of her albums. Dearie appeared on television throughout her career, including voice work for the children's educational series "Schoolhouse Rock!" Some of her pieces in this series were written by her friend Bob Dorough, the jazz singer and composer with whom she performed in Paris in the 1950s. Her voice can be heard on "Mother Necessity", "Figure Eight", and "Unpack Your Adjectives". She received a Grammy nomination in 1973 for Best Recording for Children with the album "Multiplication Rock".


title: Blossom Dearie

text: The songwriter Johnny Mercer, with whom Dearie collaborated for her 1975 song "I'm Shadowing You", gave one of his final compositions to her for the title song of her 1976 Daffodil album "My New Celebrity is You". According to Dearie, she and Mercer were close friends.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Dearie's voice and songs have been featured on the soundtracks of several films and television shows, including "Kissing Jessica Stein", "My Life Without Me", "The Squid and the Whale", "The Adventures of Felix", "The Artist", "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (series), "Call the Midwife" (series), and "Can You Ever Forgive Me?". She also recorded songs with other singers, including Lyle Lovett. She continued to perform in clubs until 2006. She appeared regularly on British television with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, several times as a guest of Jack Paar on his "Tonight" show, and also appeared on "The Danny Kaye Show", "The David Frost Show", and "The Merv Griffin Show".


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Throughout her career, Dearie was considered a "musician's musician". She learned piano from the age of five, initially focusing on classical music, and only began focusing on jazz after moving back to East Durham at around ten years of age. She listened to musicians such as Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Duke Ellington, likely forming her pianistic style from such instrumentalists.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Her technique for learning songs was complex. First, she would sit down and learn the song at the piano. Once she had learned it fluently, she would work on the lyrics. In interviews, she explained that playing the piano and singing weren't separate in her mind. "For me," she said, "it's all just one and the same thing. I don't like to do either one separately." Her skill as both a pianist and vocalist meant she knew "how to complement the singing"; in her opinion, many accompanists played "entirely too much piano for the vocalist".


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Dearie had remarkable pianistic skill, which was arguably less recognised than her vocal talents. Shortly after Dearie's death, pianist Dave Frishberg recalled asking Bill Evans about his use of fourths in chord voicings. "His immediate answer was that he heard Blossom Dearie play that way and it really knocked him out," wrote Frishberg. "Then he did a little rave review of Blossom, naming her as one of his models of piano playing."


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Dearie's vocal style was described by "The New Yorker" as a "childish treble" singing "postgraduate lyrics". It was light and airy, and was part of what made Dearie so distinctive. However, vocal coaches at the time argued that this unique vocal tone was the result of "improper breathing". Professionals encouraged her to "sing from her diaphragm", but she brushed off these criticisms.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: "I think that would probably make my voice more powerful, but at this age, I don't think I'm going to worry about it," she stated in a 2003 interview. "I have never been a singer who could stand up and sing like a theatrical singer. I sit down, and I've always used a microphone. I have a kind of microphone technique."


title: Blossom Dearie

text: Dearie lived in Paris during the early 1950s; here she met and in 1954 married Bobby Jaspar, a Belgian flautist and saxophonist. The marriage ended in divorce in 1957. She never married again.


title: Blossom Dearie

text: On February 7, 2009, after a long illness and failing health, Dearie died in her sleep of natural causes at her 10 Sheridan Square apartment in Greenwich Village, according to her representative and manager Donald Schaffer. She was survived by her older brother Barney as well as a nephew and a niece. She was cremated, and her ashes were interred in Falls Church, Virginia.

In 1991 she released two singles with Polydor, but again commercial success eluded her. Signing to Go! Discs in the mid 1990s yielded an album ("I've Gotta Have It All", 1996), as well as a collaboration with George Michael on a version of his Wham! hit "I'm Your Man", but neither achieved much success.


title: Lisa Moorish

title: Brachialis muscle

text: The brachialis (brachialis anticus), also known as the Teichmann muscle, is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow. It lies deeper than the biceps brachii, and makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa (elbow pit). The brachialis is the prime mover of elbow flexion generating about 50% more power than the biceps.


title: Brachialis muscle

text: The brachialis originates from the anterior surface of the distal half of the humerus, near the insertion of the deltoid muscle, which it embraces by two angular processes. Its origin extends below to within 2.5 cm of the margin of the articular surface of the humerus at the elbow joint. Its fibers converge to a thick tendon, which is inserted into the tuberosity of the ulna and the rough depression on the anterior surface of the coronoid process of the ulna.


title: Brachialis muscle

text: The brachialis is supplied by muscular branches of the brachial artery and by the recurrent radial artery.


title: Brachialis muscle

text: The brachialis muscle is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve, which runs on its superficial surface, between it and the biceps brachii. However, in 70-80% of people, the muscle has double innervation with the radial nerve (C5-T1). The divide between the two innervations is at the insertion of the deltoid.


title: Brachialis muscle

text: The muscle is occasionally doubled; additional muscle slips to the supinator, pronator teres, biceps brachii, lacertus fibrosus, or radius are more rarely found.


title: Brachialis muscle

text: The brachialis flexes the arm at the elbow joint. Unlike the biceps, the brachialis does not insert on the radius, and does not participate in pronation and supination of the forearm.


title: Brachialis muscle

text: The "brachialis muscle" In classical Latin "bracchialis" means "of or belonging to the arm", and is derived from classical Latin "bracchium","arm". The expression "musculus brachialis" is used in the current official anatomic nomenco Terminologia Anatomica".


title: Neal Doughty

text: Neal Allan Doughty (born July 29, 1946, in Evansville, Indiana) is an American keyboardist, best known as a founding member of the rock band REO Speedwagon and the only member to have played on every album. He formed the band in fall 1967, with original drummer Alan Gratzer.


title: Neal Doughty

text: Although he has never been one of REO Speedwagon's primary songwriters, Doughty has written or co-written several of the band's songs. Songs for which he is the sole composer include "Sky Blues" from 1974, "One Lonely Night" from 1984 and "Variety Tonight" from 1987. The latter two songs charted as "Billboard" singles, with "One Lonely Night" cracking the top 20.


title: Neal Doughty

text: His most notable playing includes the Hammond organ solo on "Roll with the Changes" and the honky-tonk piano work on "157 Riverside Avenue". He notes the piano track to "Can't Fight This Feeling" was his most difficult studio performance, but is now his favorite part of live concerts.


title: Neal Doughty

title: Klismaphilia

text: Klismaphilia (or "klysmaphilia"), from the Greek words ("enema", from , "deluge, flood") and ("love"), is a paraphilia involving enjoyment of, and sexual arousal from, enemas.


title: Klismaphilia

text: The term "klismaphilia" was coined in 1973 by Dr. Joanne Denko, an early investigator in this field, in her article "Klismaphilia: Enema as a Sexual Preference[:] Report of Two Cases," to describe the activities of some of her patients, whom she referred to as "klismaphiliacs". "Klismaphile" has come into use as a synonym for klismaphiliac.


title: Klismaphilia

text: Klismaphiles might gain pleasure from a large, water distended belly or the feeling of internal pressure. An enema fetish may include the sexual attraction to the equipment, processes, environments, situations, or scenarios, and some may be sexually aroused by the preparations, such as by the feel and smell of a latex rubber or plastic syringe, by the smell of soapsuds enema solution, or by preparing the recipient. Often, klismaphiles report discovering these desires after a chance administration of an enema sometime in their childhood, but some do report discovering these feelings later on. Klismaphiles can gain satisfaction of enemas through fantasies, by actually receiving or giving one, or through the process of eliminating steps to being administered one (e.g., under the pretense of being constipated). Usually, klismaphiles carry out normal lives and successfully engage in this behavior secretly.


title: Klismaphilia

text: That some women use enemas while masturbating was documented by Alfred Kinsey in "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female." He stated, "There still other masturbatory techniques which were regularly or occasionally employed by some 11 percent of the females in the sample ... enemas, and other anal insertions, ... were employed."


title: Klismaphilia

text: Sadomasochistic activities may incorporate enemas for erotic humiliation or for physical discomfort. BDSM punishment scenes can involve administering an enema in a manner that is humiliating and painful and for producing pain and cramps an extra-large volumes or highly irritating substances can be injected. Among the attractions to enema play in BDSM are erotic humiliation, dominance and submission, discipline, psychodrama, power exchange, and so on. An erotic enema allows acting out vulnerability in a primal form.


title: Klismaphilia

text: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) classifies klismaphilia under the diagnosis of "Paraphilias, Not Otherwise Specified". The diagnostic code is 302.9. Proactive treatment for klismaphilics is not generally recommended, due to the lack of any significant desire to be "cured". Health treatment for klismaphilia thus is typically only focused on ensuring the techniques employed and chemicals used are not harmful to the practitioner. Caution should always be maintained on the part of the practitioners experimenting with new techniques and concoctions; in certain cases cramps produced by the chemicals used have led to hospitalizations, in other circumstances the effects can even be life-threatening.


title: Night Nurse (comics)

text: Night Nurse is a comic-book series published by Marvel Comics in the early 1970s. Linda Carter, one of the series' three central characters, previously was the lead of an earlier Marvel series, "Linda Carter, Student Nurse", published in 1961.

The medical drama/romance series focused on the adventures of three female roommates who worked the night shift at the fictional Metropolitan General Hospital in New York City: Linda Carter, Georgia Jenkins, and Christine Palmer.


title: Night Nurse (comics)

text: "Night Nurse" was one of a trio of Marvel Comics of the time that were aimed at a female audience, alongside "The Claws of the Cat" and "Shanna the She-Devil". Marvel writer-editor Roy Thomas recalled in 2007 that editor-in-chief Stan Lee "had the idea, and I think the names, for all three. He wanted to do some books that would have special appeal to girls. We were always looking for way to expand our franchise. My idea...was to try to get women to write them".


title: Night Nurse (comics)

text: The series was written by writer Jean Thomas, who was at the time married to Roy Thomas, and by artist Winslow Mortimer. The stories, unlike most of Marvel's offerings at the time, contain no superheroes or fantastic elements. However, the night nurses encounter "danger, drama and death", as the cover tag proclaims, as they work to foil bomb plots, expose incompetent surgeons, and confront mob hitmen. "Night Nurse" #4, the final issue, took place away from Metro General and New York City, instead featuring Christine embroiled in a gothic adventure, complete with a foreboding mansion, dusty secret passageways, and mysterious lights.

The run also brought attendances of more than 7,000 to Bloomfield Road. This led to Grayson being awarded the Manager of the Month award for December.


title: Simon Grayson

text: On 6 January 2007, he guided Blackpool to the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time in 17 years, after beating Aldershot Town 4–2 at Bloomfield Road. They were knocked out by Norwich City, who beat them 3–2 after extra time, in a replay at Carrow Road on 13 February, narrowly missing out on a trip to London to face Chelsea in the last sixteen.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Grayson received his second League One Manager of the Month award of the 2006–07 season in May 2007. Two days later, on 5 May 2007, Grayson guided Blackpool to a final placing of third, and thus a place in the play-offs. Blackpool beat Oldham Athletic 5–2 on aggregate over the two legs of the play-off semi-final. They met Yeovil Town in the final at the newly renovated Wembley Stadium on 27 May and won 2–0, securing promotion to the Championship. It was their tenth consecutive victory, a new club record. This was extended in Blackpool's first game in the Championship with a league win over Leicester City and a victory against Huddersfield Town in the League Cup.


title: Simon Grayson

text: In October 2007, Grayson guided Blackpool to the fourth round of the League Cup for the club's first time in 35 years. They were drawn against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, where Spurs won 2–0. In December 2007 Grayson signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, following two years working without a formal contract. In May 2008, Blackpool finished nineteenth in the Championship.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Grayson was heavily linked with the vacant managerial post at Leeds United, with whom he started his playing career, following the dismissal of Gary McAllister in December 2008, but Blackpool refused permission for Leeds to speak to Grayson. Despite this Grayson tendered his resignation, which the Blackpool board did not accept, and he was announced as Leeds United's new manager. The two clubs ultimately settled the dispute for an undisclosed fee.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Grayson's first game in charge was at Elland Road on Boxing Day against one of his former clubs, Leicester City, who were top of the league. Leeds were sitting in 9th place, on the back of five straight defeats, but a late equaliser from Robert Snodgrass gave Grayson's new club a 1–1 draw. He recorded his first victory, a crucial 3–1 win away at Stockport County two days later. Leeds won their final eleven home games, matching a forty-year-old record from the Don Revie era. Leeds' away form did not match this, and Grayson guided the club into a fourth-place finish, earning them a two-legged play-off tie against fifth-place Millwall, which Leeds lost 2–1 on aggregate.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Grayson and Leeds started the 2009–10 season with an unbeaten run in all competitions, which included seven victories and a draw in League One and saw the club progress to the third round of the League Cup, before losing 1–0 to Liverpool. In that season's FA Cup, Grayson led Leeds to a 1–0 victory away to Manchester United, their first win at Old Trafford since 1981. Grayson's side also earned Leeds a replay against Premiership opposition Tottenham Hotspur after a 2–2 draw at White Hart Lane.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Grayson's Leeds side was promoted on 8 May 2010 after beating Bristol Rovers 2–1 in their final game coming back from 0-1 with only 10 men. The win saw Leeds finish the season in second place, and earn automatic promotion to The Championship. Grayson reached his 100th game managing Leeds in the 2–1 win against Middlesbrough


title: Simon Grayson

text: Grayson was rewarded with his first Manager of the Month award while in charge at Leeds United for the month of December 2010. During that month he oversaw his Leeds team unbeaten in the league, winning three games and drawing two, including a 2–0 home win over league leaders QPR. After a dip in form Leeds dropped out of the playoffs and finished the season in 7th place.


title: Simon Grayson

text: On 1 February 2012, Grayson was dismissed by Leeds United due to lack of results he was getting. A Club Statement said: "We have 18 games to go this season and are still within touching distance of the Play-Offs, but felt with the transfer window now closed we needed to make the change at this time in the belief that a new managerial team will be able to get more out of the existing squad of players and make the difference". His last result was a 4–1 defeat to Birmingham City on 31 January 2012.


title: Simon Grayson

text: On 20 February 2012, just five days after Lee Clark was dismissed as manager, Grayson became the new manager of League One club Huddersfield Town on a -year deal. His first game in charge of the Terriers was in their 2–0 home victory over Exeter City when both defender Jamie McCombe and leading striker Jordan Rhodes scoring he also introduced Icelandic midfielder Joey Guðjónsson to the squad for the first time all season. While remaining unbeaten, his next five games in charge proved to be mostly unspectacular, resulting in four draws against Stevenage, Bury, Rochdale and Colchester United also defeating Hartlepool United in a 1–0 home victory. The early pattern of these results remained similar to those of the previous manager, Lee Clark who managed a number of draws, which were held responsible for the Terrier's inability to cement a place in the automatic promotion spots. With 10 games remaining Town occupied 4th position in League One, contrary to the chairman Dean Hoyle's brief urging the club to reach one of the top two positions. On 26 May 2012, Grayson led Huddersfield to play-off victory over Sheffield United, gaining promotion to the Championship.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Grayson's first match in charge of Huddersfield in the Championship came on 17 August 2012, a 1–0 defeat away to Cardiff. His first Championship win as the club's manager was on 25 August 2012, a 2–0 home victory against Burnley. On 1 December 2012, Grayson managed Huddersfield against his former side Leeds for the first time, losing 4–2 at home.


title: Simon Grayson

text: He was dismissed by Huddersfield on 24 January 2013, following a run of 12 consecutive matches without victory stretching back to 17 November 2012.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Simon Grayson was appointed manager of Preston North End on 18 February 2013 and went unbeaten in his first four games in charge. Grayson then went on to keep the club clear of relegation with four games to go. Safety was confirmed after a 2–0 home win against Oldham Athletic on 9 April 2013.


title: Simon Grayson

text: In May 2014 Grayson guided Preston North End into the League One play off semi-final against Rotherham United. However, after drawing the first leg at Deepdale 1–1, North End lost the return leg 3–1 despite taking an early lead through Paul Gallagher.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Twelve months later, Grayson guided Preston back to the second tier of English football after being absent for four years with a victory over Swindon Town in the League One play-off final. It was their first success in the play-offs in ten attempts.


title: Simon Grayson

text: On 29 June 2017, Grayson was named as the new manager of newly relegated Championship club Sunderland, replacing David Moyes, on a three-year contract. His first league game as manager came on 4 August 2017, where his side drew 1–1 at the Stadium of Light against Derby County. In his following fixture, his team defeated Norwich City at Carrow Road, with the final result 3–1, Sunderland went on to record another draw, before commencing a four-game losing streak, until drawing one again. After a 2–1 defeat to Cardiff City, Sunderland dropped into relegation zone. On 26 September 2017, his team suffered a 5–2 loss to Ipswich Town at Portman Road, with them moving down to twenty-third place in their division. Grayson's team then recorded three consecutive draws, however, they did not move from their league position. He was dismissed after a 3–3 home draw with Bolton Wanderers on 31 October.


title: Simon Grayson

text: Chief executive, Martin Bain, released a statement stating: "Simon and his team have worked tirelessly to achieve the best for the football club during their time here. While we hoped that Simon's experience in the Football League would help us to a successful season, results have not been good enough for a club of this stature. In order for us to improve upon our current position we believe a fundamental change is necessary".


title: Simon Grayson

title: Simon Grayson

text: On 6 July 2019, the day after Terry McPhillips announced his resignation, Grayson was appointed Blackpool manager on a two-year contract. He was sacked on 12 February 2020, after a spell of four points from a possible 27 brought them from 4th place to 15th in League One. He managed Kendal Town for one game in October 2020, covering for the self-isolating Chris Humphrey.

title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe was born in , a village now in Uchiko, Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku. He was the third son of seven children. Ōe's grandmother taught him art and oral performance. His grandmother died in 1944, and later that year, Ōe's father died in the Pacific War. Ōe's mother became his primary educator, buying him books such as "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils", whose impact Ōe says "he will carry to the grave".


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe remembers his elementary school teacher claiming that Emperor Hirohito was a living god, and asking him every morning, "What would you do if the emperor commanded you to die?" Ōe always replied, "I would die, sir. I would cut open my belly and die." At home in bed at night he would acknowledge his reluctance to die and feel ashamed. After the war, he realized he had been taught lies and felt betrayed. This sense of betrayal later appeared in his writing.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe attended high school in Matsuyama. At the age of 18, he made his first trip to Tokyo and in the following year began studying French Literature at Tokyo University under the direction of Professor Kazuo Watanabe, a specialist on François Rabelais. Ōe began publishing stories in 1957, while still a student, strongly influenced by contemporary writing in France and the United States.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In 1959 and 1960, Ōe participated in the Anpo protests against the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty as a member of a group of young writers, artists, and composers called the "Young Japan Society" ("Wakai Nihon no Kai"). The treaty allows the United States to maintain military bases in Japan, and Ōe's disappointment at the failure of the protests to stop the treaty shaped his future writing.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe married in February 1960. His wife, Yukari, was the daughter of film director Mansaku Itami and sister of film director Juzo Itami. The same year he met Mao Zedong on a trip to China. He also went to Russia and Europe the following year, visiting Sartre in Paris.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In 1961, Ōe's novellas "Seventeen" and "The Death of a Political Youth" were published in the Japanese literary magazine "Bungakukai". Both were inspired by seventeen-year-old Yamaguchi Otoya, who had assassinated Japan Socialist Party chairman Inejirō Asanuma in October 1960, and then killed himself in prison three weeks later. Yamaguchi had admirers among the extreme right wing who were angered by "The Death of a Political Youth" and both Ōe and the magazine received death threats day and night for weeks. The magazine soon apologized to offended readers, but Ōe did not, and he was later physically assaulted by an angry right-winger while giving a speech at Tokyo University.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe lives in Tokyo. He has three children; the eldest son, Hikari, has been brain-damaged since his birth in 1963, and his disability has been a recurring motif in Ōe's writings since.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In 1994 Ōe won the Nobel Prize in Literature and was named to receive Japan's Order of Culture. He refused the latter because it is bestowed by the Emperor. Ōe said, "I do not recognize any authority, any value, higher than democracy." Once again, he received threats.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In 2005, two retired Japanese military officers sued Ōe for libel for his 1970 essay, "Okinawa Notes", in which he had written that members of the Japanese military had coerced masses of Okinawan civilians into committing suicide during the Allied invasion of the island in 1945. In March 2008, the Osaka District Court dismissed all charges against Ōe. In this ruling, Judge Toshimasa Fukami stated, "The military was deeply involved in the mass suicides". In a news conference following the trial, Ōe said, "The judge accurately read my writing."


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe has been involved with pacifist and anti-nuclear campaigns and has written books regarding the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Hibakusha. After meeting prominent anti-nuclear activist Noam Chomsky at a Harvard degree ceremony, Ōe began his correspondence with Chomsky by sending him a copy of his "Okinawa Notes". While also discussing Ōe's "Okinawa Notes", Chomsky's reply included a story from his childhood. Chomsky wrote that when he first heard about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, he could not bear it being celebrated, and he went in the woods and sat alone until the evening. Ōe later said in an interview, "I've always respected Chomsky, but I respected him even more after he told me that." Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, he urged Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to "halt plans to restart nuclear power plants and instead abandon nuclear energy". Ōe has said Japan has an "ethical responsibility" to abandon nuclear power in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, just as it renounced war under its postwar Constitution. He has called for "an immediate end to nuclear power generation and warned that Japan would suffer another nuclear catastrophe if it tries to resume nuclear power plant operations". In 2013, he organized a mass demonstration in Tokyo against nuclear power. Ōe has also criticized moves to amend Article 9 of the Constitution, which forever renounces war.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe explained, shortly after learning that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize, "I am writing about the dignity of human beings."


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: After his first student works set in his own university milieu, in the late 1950s he produced works such as Shiiku (飼育), about a black GI set upon by Japanese youth (made into a film, "The Catch" by Nagisa Oshima in 1961) and "Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids", focusing on young children living in Arcadian transformations of Ōe's own rural Shikoku childhood. He later identified these child figures as belonging to the 'child god' archetype of Jung and Kerényi, which is characterised by abandonment, hermaphrodism, invincibility, and association with beginning and end. The first two characteristics are present in these early stories, while the latter two features come to the fore in the 'idiot boy' stories which appeared after the birth of Hikari.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Between 1958 and 1961 Ōe published a series of works incorporating sexual metaphors for the occupation of Japan. He summarised the common theme of these stories as "the relationship of a foreigner as the big power [Z], a Japanese who is more or less placed in a humiliating position [X], and, sandwiched between the two, the third party [Y] (sometimes a prostitute who caters only to foreigners or an interpreter)". In each of these works, the Japanese X is inactive, failing to take the initiative to resolve the situation and showing no psychological or spiritual development. The graphically sexual nature of this group of stories prompted a critical outcry; Ōe said of the culmination of the series "Our Times", "I personally like this novel [because] I do not think I will ever write another novel which is filled only with sexual words."


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe's next phase moved away from sexual content, shifting this time toward the violent fringes of society. The works which he published between 1961 and 1964 are influenced by existentialism and picaresque literature, populated with more or less criminal rogues and anti-heroes whose position on the fringes of society allows them to make pointed criticisms of it. Ōe's admission that Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" is his favorite book can be said to find a context in this period.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: He explains, "I have always wanted to write about our country, our society and feelings about the contemporary scene. But there is a big difference between us and classic Japanese literature." In 1994, he explained that he was proud the Swedish Academy recognized the strength of modern Japanese literature and hoped the prize would encourage others.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: According to Leo Ou-fan Lee writing in "Muse", Ōe's latest works tend "toward bolder experiments with the technique of 'defamiliarization' by negotiating his narratives across several imaginary landscapes pertaining to painting, film, drama, music and architecture". Ōe believes that novelists have always worked to spur the imagination of their readers.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe credits his son Hikari for influencing his literary career. Ōe tried to give his son a "voice" through his writing. Several of Ōe's books feature a character based on his son.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In Ōe's 1964 book, "A Personal Matter", the writer describes the psychological trauma involved in accepting his brain-damaged son into his life. Hikari figures prominently in many of the books singled out for praise by the Nobel committee:


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Hikari's life is the core of the first book published after Ōe was awarded the Nobel Prize. The 1996 book, "A Healing Family," celebrates the small victories in Hikari's life.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Hikari was a strong influence on "Father, Where are you Going?", "Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness," and "The Day He Himself Shall Wipe My Tears Away," three novels which rework the same premise—the father of a disabled son attempts to recreate the life of his own father, who shut himself away and died. The protagonist's ignorance of his father is compared to his son's inability to understand him; the lack of information about his father's story makes the task impossible to complete, but capable of endless repetition, and, "repetition becomes the fabric of the stories."


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe did not write much during the nearly two years (2006–2008) of his libel case. He began writing a new novel, which "The New York Times" reported would feature a character "based on his father," a staunch supporter of the imperial system who drowned in a flood during World War II.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: Ōe published a new book at the end of 2013. Named "Bannen Yoshikishu" and published by Kodansha (English title is "In Late Style").


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: The novel is the sixth in a series with the main character of Kogito Choko, who can be considered Ōe's literary alter ego. The novel is also in a sense a culmination of the I-novels that Ōe has continued to write since his son was born mentally disabled in 1963.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In the novel, Choko loses interest in the novel he had been writing when the Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami struck the Tohoku region on March 11, 2011. Instead, he begins writing about an age of catastrophe, as well as about the fact that he himself is approaching his late 70s.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In 2006, the Kenzaburō Ōe Prize was established to promote Japanese literary novels published in the last year. The winning work is selected solely by Ōe. The winner receives no cash award, but the novel is translated into other languages.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: The number of Kenzaburō Ōe's works translated into English and other languages remains limited, so that much of his literary output is still only available in Japanese. The few translations have often appeared after a marked lag in time. Work of his has also been translated into Chinese, French, and German.


title: Kenzaburō Ōe

text: In a statistical overview of writings by and about Kenzaburō Ōe, OCLC/WorldCat encompasses roughly 700 works in 1,500+ publications in 28 languages and 27,000+ library holdings.

She mentions a lover named John Drummond, with whom she partnered for many years, co-authoring two books, including "Let's Get Moving" (1988) about their life together: "I went there with, what for years had been the love of my life, John Drummond, a wild Scottish intellectual who, at times, liked his whisky, beer and wines too much. We had great sex, often up to 3 times a day—all that and he was about 17 years older than me". During a 2018 interview, she revealed a darker side in the relationship with a man she called "the love of my life!": "The love of my life 25 years ago, John Drummond, a brilliant and boisterous Scotsman with a 'Thatcheresque' accent had, especially under the influence of a few scotches, beers, or wine, become quite destructive towards me. He is the only one who managed to deprive me of my self-esteem or identity, temporarily. He used to say that a British man’s way of saying 'I love you' is to put his woman down." Drummond is listed as one of her husbands. Hollander claimed to have "turned gay" around 1997, establishing a long-term relationship with a Dutch poet called Dia.

title: FC Seoul

text: The club finished first season in Seoul as champions. The club changed its name to LG Cheetahs in 1991 to mirror the LG Twins, a professional baseball team also owned by LG Group. After several seasons in Seoul, the club was forced to move in 1996, as part of the K League's decentralization policy. This policy was carried out to stimulate the growth of football in the provinces. In addition, in 1995, Korea was bidding to host the 2002 FIFA World Cup. This warranted the construction of a soccer-specific stadium in Seoul. The three clubs based in Seoul – LG Cheetahs, Ilhwa Chunma, and Yukong Elephants did not want to recognize the decentralization policy. Ultimately, it proved necessary for the Korean government to issue an eviction order to the disaffected clubs. However, the government did guarantee if the clubs built a soccer-specific stadium in Seoul, the clubs could have a Seoul franchise and return to Seoul.

text: As a result, 3 clubs were evicted from Seoul to other cities. This entailed the move of the LG Cheetahs to the Anyang Sports Complex in the city of Anyang, a satellite city of Seoul, 21 km away. The club was now known as the Anyang LG Cheetahs. In the upcoming years, a solid base of supporters was formed, and it established a strong league rivalry with the Suwon Samsung Bluewings. This rivalry was partly fueled by the fact that LG Group and Samsung Group, which owned the Suwon club, were also considered rivals in the business world, especially in electronics. The club continued to grow and in 2000, they won their third Championship, behind the firepower of striker Choi Yong-Soo.

text: For the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan, ten brand new stadiums of World Cup standards were built in South Korea. After the World Cup, the Korean World Cup Organizing Committee and the KFA actively supported the move of regional K League clubs into the new stadia. This was designed to avoid or at least minimize any financial losses through having to maintain a stadium in playing condition without regular income. However, due to the previous decision by the K League to exclude any member club from being based in Seoul, Seoul World Cup Stadium remained vacant, except as a host of some international friendlies. Thus, the city government of Seoul and the KFA both actively sought for a K League club to play at the stadium to take on the cost of maintaining the stadium. Initially, it was intended to create a new club, but when it later transpired that any club playing in Seoul World Cup Stadium would have to pay partially for the construction fees of the stadium, this would have placed an unreasonable burden on a fledgling club. Thus, the KFA tried to lure one of the current clubs to Seoul. The Anyang LG Cheetahs, with the financial backing of the LG Group, who not only viewed the move back to Seoul as a way to increase its advertising presence, but had the right to come back to Seoul because it had its franchise moved by force in 1996, as part of the K League's decentralization policy. Anyang LG announced in February 2004 that it would pay the share of the construction fees (which turned out to be 15 billion won, or at that time 15 million USD). This proposed move provoked a significant amount of controversy from the Korean football fans as KFA and K League failed to launch a new football club based in Seoul due to a high Seoul franchise fee. Regardless, KFA and K League ultimately permitted relocation of Anyang LG Cheetahs.lies

text: On October 11, 2018, Choi Yong-soo was appointed as the twelfth manager in the club's history, having previously managed the club between 2011 and 2016.


title: FC Seoul

text: However, Seoul, which had been under fire since the beginning of the 2020 season, was mired in five consecutive losses for the first time in 22 years, disappointing fans. This just represented the start of a pretty complicated year for the team, as they went through a long-lasting crisis both on and off the pitch: they suffered several debacles throughout the season, such as a 0-6 away defeat against Daegu in the sixth round of K League 1 and a 1-5 home defeat against Pohang in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup; some of the squad's key players, such as returning Brazilian striker Adriano (a record-breaking and prolific goalscorer in his previous spell at the club between 2015 and 2016) and Spanish defensive midfielder Osmar Barba, didn't manage to show their full potential, due to inconstant performances or injuries; following a new departure by Choi Yong-soo, three different caretakers took turns managing Seoul, with Park Hyuk-soon replacing Kim Ho-young after just a month and guiding the team to the end of the K League season (which they finished in 8th position, after participating in the relegation group), before being substituted by Lee Won-jun; under the management of this last coach, the team made a promising start in the group stage of AFC Champions League, even obtaining a thrashing 5-0 victory against Thai outfit Chiangrai United, but then proceeded to lose all of their last three matches, thus being eliminated from the tournament.


title: FC Seoul

text: A very difficult season was made even more devastating by the tragic and unexpected passing of defender Kim Nam-chun on October 30, 2020, just a day before their last fixture of K League 1 against Incheon, which eventually featured a brief ceremony in order to pay a tribute to the late player. In that occasion, Seoul suffered a 1-0 defeat, with Costa Rican midfielder Elías Aguilar netting the only goal of the match.


title: FC Seoul

text: Despite of all the difficulties, several players, such as club's icon Park Chu-young (top-scorer of the club with 7 goals overall), midfielder Han Seung-gyu and the aforementioned Osmar (once he had come back from injury), still managed to shine.

title: Sierra Mist

text: Sierra Mist is a lemon-lime flavored soft drink line. Originally introduced by PepsiCo in 1999, it was eventually made available in all United States markets by 2003. The drink was rebranded as "Mist Twist" in 2016, although it reverted to Sierra Mist in 2018. The brand is aimed at competing with The Coca-Cola Company's Sprite brand and Keurig Dr Pepper's 7 Up.


title: Sierra Mist

text: PepsiCo began test-marketing potential lemon-lime sodas in 1998, introducing a formulation known as Storm that never made it past the test-marketing stage. Prior lemon-lime sodas from PepsiCo included Teem, which had been introduced in 1960 but discontinued in 1984, when they introduced the Slice line of fruit-flavored sodas, which launched with a lemon-lime flavor. The company introduced Sierra Mist in 1999. The selection of the name "Sierra Mist" was based on favorable market research involving 2,000 people from over 1,000 possible names. "Sierra" had previously been a proposed name for what became the original (10% juice-formula, lemon-lime) Slice in 1984. "Diet Sierra Mist" was also introduced in 2000, and sales of both diet and original Sierra Mist totaled $100 million in its first year of production. Many PepsiCo bottlers continued to bottle 7 Up until existing agreements with Cadbury Schweppes expired in January 2003, at which point its distribution was expanded nationwide in the U.S. In 2004 the beverage had surpassed 7 Up on the basis of annual retail sales, placing it as the 2nd most-purchased lemon-lime soft drink in the U.S. (Sprite being the 1st).


title: Sierra Mist

text: In 2005, Diet Sierra Mist was renamed "Sierra Mist Free", intended as a descriptor of the beverage being "free of" sugar, calories, carbohydrates and caffeine. This name change was reverted to the original name, "Diet Sierra Mist", in November 2008. In late 2006, PepsiCo introduced "Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash". It was available only during the Winter holiday season. Cranberry Splash returned in the fall and winter of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 along with Diet Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash. In May 2007, "Sierra Mist Lemon Squeeze" was introduced. This limited edition featured a higher concentration of lemon flavor and was only available through September 2007.


title: Sierra Mist

text: Sierra Mist can and bottle labels were redesigned as a part of PepsiCo's broader redesign of its core carbonated soft drink brands in 2008, with Sierra Mist Free reverting to the "Diet Sierra Mist" name in the process. The Sierra Mist logo was later redesigned again in March 2010 with a typeface similar to that of the current Pepsi design.


title: Sierra Mist

text: Sierra Mist underwent a more significant rebranding in August 2010, in response to shifting consumer preferences towards products made with "natural" ingredients – according to beverage industry and general news media reporting at the time. On August 29, 2010, Sierra Mist was replaced with Sierra Mist Natural, although the original Sierra Mist still remained stocked in markets until late 2010. Updated logos, bottle labeling and can designs were also implemented at the same time. At this time, the Sierra Mist drink was reformulated, sweetened with sucrose instead of high-fructose corn syrup.


title: Sierra Mist

text: On December 18, 2015, Pepsi announced that the name of Sierra Mist would be changing to Mist Twist at an unknown point in spring 2016, in line with Pepsico's sponsorship agreement with the NBA, which replaced Coca-Cola's previous sponsorship and its broad campaign with the league for Sprite. The name change was officially made in late March 2016.


title: Sierra Mist

text: From 2000 until 2010 Sierra Mist was sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, and its other ingredients were listed as carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavors, potassium benzoate, potassium citrate, ascorbic acid and calcium disodium EDTA. Diet Sierra Mist is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium.


title: Sierra Mist

text: In August 2010 PepsiCo replaced the original Sierra Mist formula with "Sierra Mist Natural", which is sweetened with sucrose (table sugar) instead of high fructose corn syrup. The new formulation contains four other ingredients: carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavor, potassium citrate, and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.


title: Sierra Mist

text: By 2013, Sierra Mist Natural reverted in name to simply Sierra Mist, and in 2014 the formulation was changed to use a combination of sucrose and stevia as sweeteners, in an effort to cut calories in drinks. The change proved unpopular, with complaints of the stevia introducing an unpleasant aftertaste.


title: Sierra Mist

text: In December 2015, PepsiCo announced that they were changing the name of Sierra Mist to "Mist Twist" in Spring 2016. The change occurred in some areas in March 2016. The new Mist Twist has added high-fructose corn syrup back to the formula.


title: Sierra Mist

text: In 2005, a series of improv-based Sierra Mist commercials titled "Mist Takes" began airing. The commercials featured comedians Nicole Sullivan, Debra Wilson, Aries Spears, Jim Gaffigan and Michael Ian Black. In 2006, Kathy Griffin, Tracy Morgan and Guillermo Diaz joined the cast. Diaz and other members of the cast of "Otro Rollo" starred in the Spanish-language versions of the commercials. In 2007, Nicole Randall Johnson and Eliza Coupe joined the cast, replacing Debra Wilson and Kathy Griffin.


title: Sierra Mist

text: In December 2007, PepsiCo trademarked the names "Sierra Mist: Undercover Orange" and "Sierra Mist Free: Undercover Orange". The two sodas launched under a limited-time release in the summer of 2008 (with the faces of Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway on their labels), serving as a marketing tie-in with the release of the Warner Bros. film "Get Smart" on June 20, 2008. Sierra Mist: Undercover Orange and Sierra Mist Free: Undercover Orange were both clear sodas, like regular and Diet Sierra Mist, but had a mandarin orange flavor.

title: Rhythm of the Night (song)

text: "Rhythm of the Night" is a song by American musical recording group DeBarge, written by Diane Warren and released on February 23, 1985, on the Motown label as the first single from their fourth studio album "Rhythm of the Night" (1985). The song jump-started the career of the prolific songwriter Warren, and was the biggest hit recorded by the Motown family singing group, peaking at number three on the "Billboard" Hot 100.


title: Rhythm of the Night (song)

text: By 1985, DeBarge had become pop/R&B sensations, with ballads mostly making up the repertoire of their hit catalog, though they were as impressive as live performers, with their mixture of their trademark soft ballads and a collection of dance material. Motown Records sought to produce DeBarge with a dance single, hoping to give them a bigger crossover success, mirroring that of label-mate Lionel Richie, who like DeBarge, had created his initial fan base on soft songs before the release of "All Night Long", which included a catchy dance beat influenced by calypso. A similar influence would come in the production of "Rhythm of the Night", which featured more of El DeBarge's modal tenor voice with flashes of his trademark falsetto. Richard Perry, the hit producer behind hit recordings for The Pointer Sisters, Harry Nilsson, and Carly Simon, among others, was appointed to produce the single with Diane Warren as its writer.


title: Rhythm of the Night (song)

text: The release of "Rhythm of the Night" coincided with the release of the Motown film "The Last Dragon", which featured the song as part of its soundtrack. The free publicity from the song's association with the movie helped boost its popularity. Eventually released as a single, the song produced DeBarge's biggest success yet, with the single reaching number three on the "Billboard" Hot 100, number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, number one on the US adult contemporary chart, and number four in the UK singles chart - their only major hit single in the UK - going gold and boosting similar success for its parent album of the same name. The group's music video of the song gained the group heavy rotation on MTV and BET and was actually the group's first (and last) real music video, starting a brief period where DeBarge became pop superstars. More recently, the song featured in the 2016 film "Ghostbusters: Answer the Call". The song also features heavily in the twelfth season of "RuPaul's Drag Race" as a running gag, due to contestant Crystal Methyd's out-of-drag resemblance to El DeBarge. Lyrics and sample from the chorus of "Rhythm of the Night" were adopted in CNCO's song "Pretend".


title: Loch

text: Loch () is the Scottish Gaelic, Scots and Irish word for a lake or sea inlet. It is cognate with the Manx lough, Cornish logh, and one of the Welsh words for lake, llwch.


title: Loch

text: In English English and Hiberno-English, the anglicised spelling lough is commonly found in place names; in Lowland Scots and Scottish English, the spelling "loch" is always used. Many loughs are connected to stories of lake-bursts, signifying their mythical origin.


title: Loch

text: Sea-inlet lochs are often called sea lochs or sea loughs. Some such bodies of water could also be called firths, fjords, estuaries, straits or bays.


title: Loch

text: Scotland and to many sea inlets in the west and north of Scotland. The word comes from Proto-Indo-European *"lókus" ("lake, pool") and is related to Latin "lacus" ("lake, pond") and English "lay" ("lake").


title: Loch

text: Lowland Scots orthography, like Scottish Gaelic, Welsh and Irish, represents with "ch", so the word was borrowed with identical spelling.


title: Loch

text: English borrowed the word separately from a number of loughs in the previous Cumbric language areas of Northumbria and Cumbria. Earlier forms of English included the sound as "gh" (compare Scots "bricht" with English "bright"). However, by the time Scotland and England joined under a single parliament, English had lost the sound. This form was therefore used when the English settled Ireland. The Scots convention of using "ch" remained, hence the modern Scottish English "loch".


title: Loch

text: In Welsh, what corresponds to "lo" is "lu" in Old Welsh and "llw" in Middle Welsh such as in today's Welsh placenames Llanllwchaiarn, Llwchwr, Llyn Cwm Llwch, Amlwch, Maesllwch, the Goidelic "lo" being taken into Scottish Gaelic by the gradual replacement of much Brittonic orthography with Goidelic orthography in Scotland.


title: Loch

text: Many of the loughs in Northern England have also previously been called "meres" (a Northern English dialect word for "lake" and an archaic Standard English word meaning "a lake that is broad in relation to its depth") such as the "Black Lough" in Northumberland. However, reference to the latter as "loughs" (lower case initial), rather than as "lakes", "inlets" and so on, is unusual.


title: Loch

text: Some lochs in Southern Scotland have a Brythonic rather than Goidelic etymology, such as Loch Ryan where the Gaelic "loch" has replaced a Cumbric equivalent of Welsh "llwch". The same is perhaps the case for water bodies in Northern England named with 'Low' or 'Lough' or otherwise it represents a borrowing of the Brythonic word into the Northumbrian dialect of Old English.


title: Loch

text: Although there is no strict size definition, a small loch is often known as a lochan (so spelled also in Scottish Gaelic; in Irish it is spelled lochán).


title: Loch

text: Perhaps the most famous Scottish loch is Loch Ness, although there are other large examples such as Loch Awe, Loch Lomond and Loch Tay.


title: Loch

text: Examples of sea lochs in Scotland include Loch Long, Loch Fyne, Loch Linnhe, and Loch Eriboll. Elsewhere in Britain, places like the Afon Dyfi can be considered sea lochs.


title: Loch

text: Some new reservoirs for hydroelectric schemes have been given names faithful to the names for natural bodies of water—for example, the Loch Sloy scheme, and Lochs Laggan and Treig (which form part of the Lochaber hydroelectric scheme near Fort William). Other expanses are simply called reservoirs, e.g. Blackwater Reservoir above Kinlochleven.


title: Loch

text: Scotland has very few bodies of water called lakes. The Lake of Menteith, an Anglicisation of the Scots "Laich o Menteith" meaning a "low-lying bit of land in Menteith", is applied to the loch there because of the similarity of the sounds of the words "laich" and "lake". Until the 19th century the body of water was known as the "Loch of Menteith". The Lake of the Hirsel, Pressmennan Lake and Lake Louise are man-made bodies of water in Scotland known as lakes.


title: Loch

text: The word "loch" is sometimes used as a shibboleth to identify natives of England, because the fricative sound is used in Scotland whereas most English people mispronounce the word as "lock".


title: Loch

text: The United States naval port of Pearl Harbor, on the south coast of the main Hawaiian island of Oahu, is one of a complex of sea inlets. Several are named as lochs, including South East Loch, Merry Loch, East Loch, Middle Loch and West Loch.


title: Loch

text: In the Scottish settlement of Glengarry County in present-day Eastern Ontario, there is a lake called Loch Garry. Loch Garry was named by those who settled in the area, Clan MacDonell of Glengarry, after the well-known loch their clan is from, Loch Garry in Scotland. Similarly, lakes named Loch Broom, Big Loch, Greendale Loch, and Loch Lomond can be found in Nova Scotia, along with Loch Leven in Newfoundland, and Loch Leven in Saskatchewan.

title: Peerage of Ireland

text: The Peerage of Ireland consists of those titles of nobility created by the English monarchs in their capacity as Lord or King of Ireland, or later by monarchs of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It is one of the five divisions of Peerages in the United Kingdom. The creation of such titles came to an end in the 19th century. The ranks of the Irish peerage are duke, marquess, earl, viscount and baron. As of 2016, there were 135 titles in the Peerage of Ireland extant: two dukedoms, ten marquessates, 43 earldoms, 28 viscountcies, and 52 baronies. The Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland continues to exercise jurisdiction over the Peerage of Ireland, including those peers whose titles derive from places located in what is now the Republic of Ireland. Article 40.2 of the Constitution of Ireland forbids the state conferring titles of nobility and an Irish citizen may not accept titles of nobility or honour except with the prior approval of the Irish government. This issue has not arisen in respect of the Peerage of Ireland because no creation of titles in it has been made since the constitution came into force.


title: Peerage of Ireland

text: In the following table, each peer is listed only by his highest Irish title, showing higher or equal titles in the other peerages. Those peers who are known by a higher title in one of the other peerages are listed in "italics".


title: Peerage of Ireland

text: A modest number of titles in the peerage of Ireland date from the Middle Ages. Before 1801, Irish peers had the right to sit in the Irish House of Lords, on the abolition of which by the Union effective in 1801 by an Act of 1800 they elected a small proportion – twenty-eight "representative peers" – of their number (and elected replacements as they died) to the House of Lords at Westminster.


title: Peerage of Ireland

text: Both before and after the Union, Irish peerages were often used as a way of creating peerages which did not grant a seat in the House of Lords of England (before 1707) or Great Britain (after 1707) and so allowed the grantee (such as Clive of India) to sit in the House of Commons in London. As a consequence, many late-made Irish peers had little or no connection to Ireland, and indeed the names of some Irish peerages refer to places in Great Britain (for example, the Earldom of Mexborough refers to a place in England and the Earldom of Ranfurly refers to a village in Scotland).


title: Peerage of Ireland

text: Irish peerages continued to be created for almost a century after the union, although the treaty of union placed restrictions on their numbers: three needed to become extinct before a new peerage could be granted, until there were only one hundred Irish peers (exclusive of those who held any peerage of Great Britain subsisting at the time of the union, or of the United Kingdom created since the union). There was a spate of creations of Irish peerages from 1797 onward, mostly peerages of higher ranks for existing Irish peers, as part of the negotiation of the Act of Union; this ended in the first week of January 1801, but the restrictions of the Act were not applied to the last few peers. In the following decades, Irish peerages were created at least as often as the Act permitted until at least 1856. But the pace then slowed, with only four more being created in the rest of the 19th century, and none in the 20th and 21st centuries.


title: Peerage of Ireland

text: The last two grants of Irish peerages were the promotion of the Marquess of Abercorn (a peerage of Great Britain) to be Duke of Abercorn in the Irish Peerage when he became Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in 1868 and the granting of the Curzon of Kedleston barony to George Curzon when he became Viceroy of India in 1898. Peers of Ireland have precedence below peers of England, Scotland, and Great Britain of the same rank, and above peers of the United Kingdom of the same rank; but Irish peers created after 1801 yield to United Kingdom peers of earlier creation. Accordingly, the Duke of Abercorn (the junior duke in the Peerage of Ireland) ranks between the Duke of Sutherland and the Duke of Westminster (both dukes in the Peerage of the United Kingdom).

text: When one of the Irish representative peers died, the Irish Peerage met to elect his replacement; but the office required to arrange this were abolished as part of the creation of the Irish Free State. The existing representative peers kept their seats in the House of Lords, but they have not been replaced. Since the death of Francis Needham, 4th Earl of Kilmorey in 1961, none remains. The right of the Irish Peerage to elect representatives was abolished by the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1971.

text: Titles in the Peerage of the United Kingdom have also referred to places in Ireland, for example Baron Arklow (created 1801 and 1881) or Baron Killarney (created 1892 and 1920). Since partition, only places in Northern Ireland have been used, although the 1880 title "Baron Mount Temple, of Mount Temple in the County of Sligo", was recreated in 1932 as "Baron Mount Temple, of Lee in the County of Southampton".
