# Georg Ots

Georg Ots (21 March 1920 – 5 September 1975) was an Estonian baritone. He sang at the Estonian National Opera from 1951 to his death in 1975. Ots gained wider recognition with his roles at the Bolshoi Theatre, particularly with his lead role in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin with Galina Vishnevskaya as Tatyana. He was also celebrated for his performance in Mister Iks, based on Imre Kálmán's operetta Die Zirkusprinzessin.

## Biography

Before studying singing with Aleksander Rahnel in Yaroslavl where a cultural centre for evacuated Estonians had been established, Ots was a young Navy Officer who had escaped a sinking ship bombed by the Kriegsmarine in 1941. Ots was saved and taken to Kurgan region of Russia. Six months later he auditioned for a place at the conservatory in Tallinn. He became a member of the chorus at the Estonian National Opera in Tallinn. His solo opera debut was a small part in Eugene Onegin in 1944. He soon became one of the most revered singers in Estonia and Finland, and was equally admired all over Russia.
Ots often performed at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. His repertoire included the roles of Eugene Onegin, Escamillo, Renato, Don Giovanni, Papageno, Rigoletto, Iago, Porgy, Figaro, and Kabalevsky's Colas Breugnon. Ots sang in Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, and Russian. One of Ots's most famous roles with which he is often identified was the lead character in Anton Rubinstein's opera The Demon. The libretto of The Demon is based on Mikhail Lermontov's famous epic poem, once banned because of its plotline involving a misalliance between a dark angel and a Georgian princess. Ots's interpretation of the angel mesmerized audiences and received rapturous reviews.
Ots also played a leading role in Between Three Plagues, a film based on a historical novel by Jaan Kross which illuminates the life of Balthasar Russow.
Ots performed in various European countries. After his death, the Tallinn Music School was named after him (now Georg Otsa nimeline Tallinna Muusikakool). In 1997, Russian scientists named a newly discovered minor planet after him, 3738 Ots (1977 QA1). His first wife Margot Laane fled the Nazi-occupied Estonia in 1942 and settled in Canada. Ots then wed Asta Saar and they were married for 20 years. In 1964 Ots married Ilona Noor. Ots had a son Ülo (also a musician) and a daughter Ülle with his second wife Asta, and a daughter, Mariann, with his third wife Ilona.
Ots died on 5 September 1975 at the age of 55. A state funeral was held in his honour.
Ots's biography, written by Kulle Raig, was first published in Finnish in 2002 ("Saarenmaan valssi: Georg Otsin elämänkerta") and in Estonian in 2003. The book was published in Latvian in 2009, and in Russian in 2015.

# Leon Calvert

Leon Calvert (26 June 1927 – 1 May 2018) was a British bebop jazz trumpeter, one of the co-founders of Club Eleven. He was the nephew of Eddie Calvert.
Calvert was born in Westcliffe-on-Sea and learnt to play the trumpet in his childhood. His family moved to Manchester while he was still very young. His first professional job was with Jack Nieman's Band at the Plaza in Manchester. By 1945 he was on the London circuit. From late 1947 he performed on the ocean liner Mauretania with Paul Lombard. He joined Oscar Rabin's band in 1948. That year he was one of the ten musician co-founders of Club Eleven in Great Windmill Street, and later Carnaby Street. At the club he played with the house band led by John Dankworth.
In the 1960s Calvert began operating a jazz label at Lansdowne Studios with drummer Barry Morgan, Monty Babson and Jerry Allen. In 1967 the group founded Morgan Sound Studios at 169–171 High Road, Willesden. The studio was the location for recordings by notable artists and bands, including Joan Armatrading, Black Sabbath, The Cure, Donovan, Jethro Tull, the Kinks, Paul McCartney, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, UFO, Yes and many more.
Calvert also worked with the Ambrose band (1949), the Steve Race Bop Band (1949), Tito Burns (1950–1951) and then for four years with Carroll Gibbons. In the mid-1950s he had stints with Ken Moule, Buddy Featherstonhaugh, the London Jazz Orchestra and Denny Boyce. In the late 1950s he worked with Tony Crombie and Vic Lewis. In 1961 he joined the John Dankworth band. He can be heard on many Ken Moule and Dankworth recordings of this period, his style influenced by the early work of Miles Davis.
In the 1970s Calvert appeared on the recording of Richard Rodney Bennett's Jazz Calendar Suite (1971) and on Tony Kinsey's Thames Suite (1977). He worked mostly as a freelance musician for radio, television (such as the in-house Top of the Pops orchestra led by Johnny Pearson, where he was lead trumpet for eight years) and film (for instance, on the James Bond film You Only Live Twice with John Barry), and as a session musician in the recording studio. He played for The Beatles in the brass section on Penny Lane, and trumpet and flugelhorn on Martha My Dear. In the 1980s, Calvert sometimes played as a duo with pianist Jack Honeybourne, and he continued playing at small jazz venues into the 1990s, with the Sounds of Seventeen, Jazz Spell and George Thorby's Band.
He died in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, at the age of 90.

# Scents of Time

Scents of Time was a British perfume company which specialized in re-creating ancient fragrances. The company was founded by perfumer David Pybus and based in the United Kingdom. The company was featured in Series 4, Episode 5 of the BBC entrepreneur opportunity programme Dragons' Den on 7 March 2007. Their products were distributed at the British Museum and through online retailers.
The recreated scents differed from the original formulae in two fundamental ways. All ingredients conformed to the current safety standards for the perfume industry as some old formulations contained components now determined to have toxicity. The second difference was the use of alcohol as a carrier rather than the olive or almond oil common in ancient times. The company produced five scents and had two under development.
The company suspended its internet sales in January 2012 and closed down at the end of April 2012, after donating all remaining stock to charitable organizations. It cited a weak worldwide economy and marketing competition from celebrity-endorsed fragrances.

# Benson (1811 ship)

Benson was a British ship launched at Quebec in 1811. She entered Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1813. She was condemned at Mauritius in 1817 and her loss gave rise to a notable court case.

## Career

Lloyd's Register in 1813 listed Benson's master as Thatcher, her owner as Benson, and her trade London transport.
On 5 July 1817 Captain "Botham" wrote from Île de France that Benson, which had been sailing from Madras to London, had had to put into port leaky and with the crew mutinous. He thought that she would be condemned. A later report stated that Benson had been surveyed and the cost of her repairs was estimated at less than 8000 dollars. A week after this report, on 20 January 1818, Lloyd's List reported that Benson had been condemned and sold. She had been surveyed, condemned, and finally sold on 21 July.
The Register General's letter dated 29 June 1819 stated that she had been condemned in the Isle of France in 1818.

## Colvin vs. Newberry

Before Captain George Betham left England, bound for Bengal, Thomas Starling Benson, as Benson's managing owner, on 7 June 1816 chartered Benson to Betham. At Bengal, Betham took on board on 11 March 1817 2171 bags of sugar and 191 chests of indigo for delivery to England for Colvin & Co. Betham also took on board a large quantity of wheat that during the voyage fermented, disabling Benson. Benson put into Île de France where she was surveyed and condemned. Much of her cargo of sugar, and part of the cargo of indigo, had been lost.
At Île de France Cadmus and Elizabeth took on the undamaged cargo from Benson: 500 bags of sugar and 179 chests of indigo.
Colvin and Co., the plaintiffs, sued Benson's owners for 1651 bags of sugar and 12 chests of indigo, the amount of their cargo that had been lost. Benson's owners, the defendants, argued that they had discharged themselves of all liability when they had chartered Benson to Betham, the charter being known to the plaintiffs. The Court of King's Bench ruled on 19 January 1827 for the plaintiffs that their suit could proceed and that the charter to Betham had not absolved the owners of their liability.

# Kōgyo Tsukioka

Kōgyo Tsukioka (月岡 耕漁, Tsukioka Kōgyo), sometimes called Kōgyo Sakamaki (坂巻 耕漁, Sakamaki Kōgyo), (April 18, 1869 – February 25, 1927) was a Japanese artist of the Meiji period. He was a student and adopted son of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, and also studied with Ogata Gekkō. Although Kōgyo sometimes painted other subjects, for most of his career he made pictures of Japanese noh theatre, either as large-scale paintings or colored woodblock prints. Many of the latter were published in series and sold as multi-volume sets. Some sets, such as Nōgaku zue, have been preserved as albums in their original bindings, including accordion-style bindings known as orihon, while other sets such as Nōga taikan, were issued in sewn bindings known as yamato toji. Although most bound sets belong to institutional collections, individual prints by Kōgyo can still be found through dealers specializing in Japanese prints.
