# Sophie Zelmani

Sophie Zelmani (born 12 February 1972), later raised with the surname Edkvist, is a Swedish singer-songwriter who released her first single in 1995, called "Always You".

## Early life

Zelmani was born in the suburbs of Stockholm in 1972. Her father bought the family a guitar when Zelmani was 14. Despite no professional music training, Zelmani became a songwriter and recorded some songs at a local studio. After she mailed the demos to three record companies, Zelmani was offered a record deal by Sony Music Sweden.

## Career

Sophie Zelmani recorded her debut, eponymous album with Sony in 1995. The album was produced and arranged by Lars Halapi and co-produced by Patrik Sventelius. She described the process of making the album: "In the beginning Lars and I spent a few months in the studio. We had fun and then picked the musicians. We recorded in two weeks but the whole thing took half a year." By 1997, Zelmani's debut album had sold 200,000 copies in Europe and Asia Pacific, before moving to the US market, distributed by Columbia Records. Zelmani said, "I had no ambitions to go abroad. I knew I wanted to make a record. That's all I wanted." Columbia's marketing campaign included CD sampler giveaways, consumer press, and rotation on Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flights between Scandinavia and the US.
Zelmani has continued to record albums while making only a small number of public appearances due to shyness. She won a best newcomer award in Sweden's Grammy Awards in 1996.

## In popular culture

Zelmani has also contributed music to the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek. Her cover of Bob Dylan's "Most of the Time" appears on the soundtrack to Masked and Anonymous.
Her song "Stand By" appeared in the film Independence Day (1996). Her song "Always You" appeared in the film My Best Friend's Wedding (1997).
Zelmani's "Going Home" from Sing and Dance was covered in Mandarin Chinese as "乘客" (Passenger) and Cantonese as "花事了" (Withered Flower) by 王菲 (Faye Wong) in a 2003 album 将爱 (To Love).

# Chen Tao (poet)

Chen Tao (traditional Chinese: 陳陶; ; pinyin: Chén Táo; Wade–Giles: Ch'en T'ao, 824-882) was a poet of the late Tang dynasty. He wrote four poems about war in Longxi, one of which was included in the anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems. Some of his other poems were anthologized in Quantangshi (also known as, the Collected Tang Poems). The poem appearing in the Three Hundred Tang Poems is the well-known verse sometimes known as "Lung-hsi Song".

## Biography

Biographical information about Chen Tao seems scarce; not only that, but, A. R. Davis mentions an "element of confusion", in this regard: and, if this is the same Chen Tao mentioned in connection with Tian Lingzi in the year 888, then either this date or the date of his death is wrong. It is known that Chen Tao was learned in Buddhism and Taoism and that he pursued the study of astronomy and alchemy, and that he spent most of his life in retirement in what is now Nanchang, in the Chinese province of Jiangxi.

## Poetry

Chen Tao is best known for his one poem which is included in the Three Hundred Tang Poems ("隴西行", Longxi xing), translated as "Turkestan" by Witter Bynner.

# Maude Dickinson

Maude Dickinson (1868 or 1869 - 31 March 1933) was a member of the Women's Engineering Society and a female scientist at the beginning of the 20th century who believed she had discovered organic radium crystals. She was proclaimed as "A High Priestess of Hygiene".

## Early life

Maude Dickinson was born Mary Lock in 1868 or 1869. Her father was Peter Lock, gentleman of Fareham. In 1885, she married John Oldridge Dicker, a solicitor and Freemason, of Camden Square, London.
In 1890, Mary filed for divorce from Dicker on the grounds of adultery and desertion by him. However, the decree nisi is rescinded and the divorce files show that Dicker counter-petitioned against Mary stating that she was cohabiting as wife to a Mr Thomas Gordon Dickinson, in Brighton, East Sussex.

## Experiments

Dickinson reputedly discovered radioactive crystals whilst mixing antiseptic creams and conducted many experiments to explore the versatility of the crystals. These experiments and their findings were detailed in a publication called a "A New Activity?" written by Frank Hotblack in 1920. The uses ranged from boiler and waterpipe descaling to being added to bread as a yeast substitute to elongate freshness. Fifty-six loaves of yeastless bread, were sent to Prisoners of War in Germany in 1915, “This bread keeps so very fresh that the men are able to enjoy it even after three weeks journey” and a loaf was even sent to the Queen (Mary) and a letter of thanks was received by Maude Dickinson.

## Career

Maude and Thomas Dickinson ran a company called Dongor Hygiene which manufactured antiseptic hygiene products reputed to contain radium crystals. The products included soaps, sprays and polishes. These were supplied to hospitals, cinemas and theatres. The company was awarded a Diploma and Silver Medal at the 17th International Congress of Medicine in 1913 and was reputed to be supplying products to over 500 organisations including the Red Cross Society.

In 1949, Van Kempen returned to the Netherlands as principal conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, based in Hilversum. However, his conducting activities during World War II, such as conducting concerts for the Wehrmacht, made him a controversial figure in the Netherlands.

During the first night, audience members protested strongly, but the concert took place.

# How Beautiful You Are (Ayumi Hamasaki song)

"How Beautiful You Are" is a song by Japanese musician Ayumi Hamasaki. It was released on February 8, 2012, as the leading digital single from her thirteenth studio album, Party Queen. The song was used at the theme song for the Kyōko Koizumi-starring Fuji Television drama Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi.

## Background

The single was the second time Hamasaki had released an official single digitally after "Together When..." (2007), the leading song from her album Guilty. It had been three years since a song by Hamasaki had been used as a drama theme song, since "Sunrise (Love Is All)"'s use for Dandy Daddy?.
For the second series of Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi in 2014, a new song by Hamasaki, "Hello New Me", served as the theme song.

## Writing and production

The music of the song was written by her musical collaborator Tim Wellard, who first worked with Hamasaki on the song "Brillante" from her extended play Five (2011), and also wrote the songs "Party Queen", "The Next Love" and "Eyes, Smoke, Magic" for Party Queen. Fuji Television director Hiroki Wakamatsu commissioned Hamasaki for the drama's theme song, asking her to write a grown-up song. Hamasaki wrote the song's lyrics after reading the drama's script.

## Music video

A music video was produced for the song, directed by Masashi Muto. It features Hamasaki singing in monochrome, and depicts couples of different races and sexual orientations. Japanese gay porn star Koh Masaki and his partner Tien Tien made cameos as one of the couples, a year before Masaki's death in June 2013.
The dress she wore in the video was specially made for her by Indonesian fashion designer Tex Saverio.

## Critical reception

The song received mixed reviews. CDJournal called the song a "beautifully magnificent ballad" that displayed Hamasaki's presence, however felt that the song's arrangement was disappointing. Music reviewer James Hadfield for Time Out Tokyo reacted strongly to the song, describing it as "wretched" and "generic".
