# Robert Lissauer

Robert Lissauer (May 1, 1917 – October 14, 2004) was an American composer, author, and musicologist.
Born in New York City Lissauer attended the Juilliard School and then worked with Irving Berlin on his musical This Is the Army. From this production "Yanks A Poppin" was developed as a show that could be performed for troops in the field. As a soldier in World War II, Lissauer managed a production unit that traveled across the Pacific Theater.
Working as head of his own music publishing companies in the 1960s, Lissauer signed singer-songwriters Marsha Malamet and Judy Wieder.
After the war Lissauer taught at New York University, owned a sheet music business, and managed various composers, singers, and their estates.
He also managed various composers, singers, and their estates. His extensive experience in the music industry culminated in the publication of Lissauer's Encyclopedia of Popular Music in America: 1888 to the Present. The first edition, published in 1991, listed more than 19,000 songs, and an expanded three-volume edition was issued in 1996. The encyclopedia covers a range of popular genres from the rise of Tin Pan Alley to the end of the 20th century.
Lissauer's work on the encyclopedia was driven by his understanding of the significance of songs in the American collective memory. He wrote, "No matter in which part of the country we have been raised, songs have been a part of our lives... Songs have seen us off to war, helped us elect presidents, made us laugh and made us cry, pervaded our sleep, and perhaps most importantly, have given us memories."

## Death

Lissauer died at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx and lived in Manhattan. He was known for his efforts to bridge the gap between past musical treasures and a generation raised on contemporary music, as evidenced by a humorous exchange with the songwriter Gerald Marks, where a young student wished Marks "good luck" with his classic song "All of Me," unaware of its established fame.

## Family

Lissauer's first four marriages ended in divorce. He is survived by his fifth wife, Melinda Dopper; his sister, Marion Weil of Manhattan; his children, Geoffrey of Kinderhook, New York, John of Katonah, New York, and Lianne Cisneros of Sanbornville, New Hampshire; and four grandchildren. His son John is a composer and arranger of music, and has done the scores for several popular movies.

# Al-Jannat

Al-Jannat (Arabic: الجنات al-Jannāt) is a small town in Amran District of 'Amran Governorate, Yemen. It is located about 2.5km from 'Amran, the governorate capital, at the edge of the al-Bawn plain. Overlooking the town is the height called Jabal al-Jannat, where the historic fort called Qasr al-Jannat is located.

## History

During the middle ages, al-Jannat was more significant than 'Amran due to its strategic fortified location. Whereas 'Amran is largely absent from historical texts during this period, al-Jannat appears frequently in accounts such as the Ghayat al-amani of Yahya ibn al-Husayn and the Kitab al-Simt of Muhammad ibn Hatim al-Yami al-Hamdani, especially in the 13th century.

# Brigade of Death

The Brigade of Death was a unit of the confederal militias that acted at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War in the republican rear (Tarragona and Bajo Aragón). Officially it was the investigation brigade of the South Ebro Column, a column of anarchist militiamen that Antonio Ortiz had led from Barcelona. Its leader was Pascual Fresquet and it was made up of some forty militiamen linked to the Barcelona Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI).

## History

Between July and September 1936, it acted in sixteen municipalities of the province of Tarragona (in the regions of Priorat, Terra Alta, Ribera d'Ebre and Baix Camp), in a municipality of the province of Barcelona (the region of Osona) and in various municipalities of Lower Aragon: Caspe, Fabara, Maella, Gandesa, Falset, Mequinenza, Albalate del Arzobispo, Torelló, Calanda, Samper de Calanda, Híjar, Bot, Flix, Ascó, Riba-roja d'Ebre, Móra d'Ebre and Reus. Its goal was to implement libertarian communism from town to town, traveling in a black bus with painted skulls. They persecuted and executed alleged fascists, Carlists, Catholics or peasants who opposed collectivizations, 247 people were documented to have been murdered by the brigade. The brigade also ran irregular detention centers in Caspe.
The brutality with which the Death Brigade operated caused the representative of the Catalan CNT to declare in the plenary session of the CNT regionals on September 16, 1936, in Madrid, before the complaints of the Aragonese representative:
   Catalonia clarifies that in Barcelona there is an agreement to dismiss Ortiz and at the same time to hold a meeting between the Regional Committees of Aragon and Catalonia; It adds that a commission was appointed in Barcelona to find out the misdeeds committed by the Death Brigade, led by Ortiz, and that this Commission will report at said meeting.
The commission called its leader, Pascual Fresquet, to order, and he had to account for his actions. The Brigade, considered by the leadership of the CNT as contrary to the "revolutionary spirit", ceased to operate as of October 1936.
In 2008, the Catalan journalist Toni Orensanz published a book, L'òmnibus de la mort: parada Falset (The death bus: Falset stop) about the column and the 27 murders they committed in one night in the journalist's hometown of Falset.

# Bruno Zach

Bruno Zach (6 May 1891 – 20 February 1935) was an Austrian art deco sculptor of Ukrainian birth who worked in the early-to-mid 20th century. His output included a wide repertoire of genre subjects, however he is best known for his erotic sculptures of young women.

## Early life

Bruno Zach was born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, on 6 May 1891. He emigrated to Austria as a young man and studied at theVienna Academy under sculptorsHans Bitterlich (1860–1949) andJosef Müllner (1879–1968). His styles included Art Deco, Art Nouveau, sporting, and orientalism. His oeuvre would generally be considered decorative if not for his success in producing erotic sculpture.

## Career

Zach became a prolific creator of sculptures featuring tall, athletic, dominating women in bronze and ivory, the combination of the two in art casting sometimes being referred to as “chryselephantine”. He most often signed as "B. Zach" or "Bruno Zach", however a number of his pieces were signed with his pseudonyms, being "Prof. Tuch", "Professor Tuch" or "K. Salat". His erotica sculptures usually featured sexy, dreamy, scantily clad mistresses in stockings, garters, and high heels.
One of his better known sculptures is the sado-masochistic The Riding Crop. Original period castings of this sculpture have sold for as much as $151,849, one such sale having taken place at the Bonhams auction house in Knightsbridge on 23 November 2011. According to Bonhams' director of decorative arts, Mark Oliver, "the demand for his work just grows and grows".
One of Zach's more controversial sculptures, created circa 1930, was his extremely erotic piece entitled The Hugger. The sculpture depicts a woman hugging a larger-than-life penis. Zach frequently portrayed the seedy side of nightlife in Berlin with many of his sculptures which often featured prostitutes.
His bronze sculptures were generally fired and coated with chemical patinas in mid-brown colors but were sometimes cold painted or polychromed. His used ivory, sparingly, and it was generally well carved. Zach's work was edited by several firms, including Argentor-Werke (Vienna), Broma Companie, S. Altmann and Company, and Franz Bergmann.

# Taurasi

Taurasi is a town and municipality in the province of Avellino, Campania, southern Italy. In antiquity it was a town in Samnium. The town's name probably derives from the Latin Taurus. Over time it changed from Taurasos to Taurasia (not to be confused with the Taurasia founded in northern Italy by the Taurini, which is now called Turin) before changing to its current form. Taurasi is best known for its increasingly famous red wine also named Taurasi, made of Aglianico grapes along with Piedirosso and Barbera grapes.

## History

According to the epitaph on the sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus, consul of Rome in 3 BC, he captured Taurasia (and Cisauna) from the Samnites. However, modern scholars have ruled out that ancient Taurasia (surely located north-east of Beneventum) could be related to modern Taurasi.

## Main sights

* Porta Maggiore (Main Gate). It was built by the Lombards in the seventh century above Roman ruins discovered during restoration works in 1997. It is the main point of entry for the historical centre. In the past it was the passageway through the city walls.
* Palazzo Baronale, called simply "castle" by the locals. Its origins date back to Roman times, but it is now in Renaissance style. It has a large hall that used to be a court of justice, a chapel and a hall of arms.
* Chiesa dell’Immacolata, a church which was completed in 1590. It is thought that it is an extension of the church of San Cataldo, which dates back to the seventh century. It also had the crypt of the Confraternita dell'Immacolata Concezione, which hosts the body of Saint Benigno the martyr since 1804.

## Wines

The town was centred on by a Longobard castle which was enlarged by the Normans. Taurasi is a centre of production of the red wine Taurasi DOCG. It is a full-bodied dry wine with an aromatic vein. The wine must be aged for three years, of which one must be in chestnut or oak casks. In the three succeeding years, the wine can be tasted in the fullness of its quality and is particularly good as an accompaniment to roasted red meats.
The variety of grapes it is made from, Aglianico, is believed to have been introduced by Hellenic peoples around the time of the foundation of Cumae. It is found in virtually the whole of southern Italy but the wines produced from it are considerably different, depending on the places where the vines grow. Aglianico has a medium-sized cluster of grapes which is cylindrical-conical in shape.
