# Andrzej Wierciński (anthropologist)

Andrzej Wierciński (22 April 1930 – 8 December 2003) was a Polish anthropologist, ethnologist, religious studies scholar and Kabbalist.

## Biography

Wierciński was born on 22 April 1930, in Chorzów. He studied from 1948 to 1951 at the University of Warsaw, initially studying physics and later transferring to physical anthropology at the end of his first year. As a student, he became an assistant at the Institute of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences. His master's thesis focused on the prehistoric population of southern Siberia. In 1957, he defended his doctoral thesis on the inheritance of individual racial traits. His habilitation thesis dealt with the origin of the Egyptian population during the predynastic period.
Wierciński was a professor at the University of Warsaw and the author of hundreds of papers published in specialist journals on general anthropology, anthropology of religion, Slavic ethnogenesis, ancient Egypt, pre-Hispanic Mexico, microevolutionary changes in Poland, symbolism theory, and culture theory. In 1959, he co-organized a scientific expedition to Egypt, where he was employed as a liaison between the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and the National Research Centre in Egypt. From 1978, he led the Department of Historical Anthropology at the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw, and from 1993, he chaired the Department of General Anthropology at the Higher Pedagogical School in Kielce. He also lectured at the Institute of Religious Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and at many foreign universities as a visiting professor, including in Cairo, Paris, Washington, and Los Angeles. He received awards such as the Gold Cross of Merit and the Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
In his later years, he focused on gematria. Since his school days, he was a close friend of Jerzy Prokopiuk, associated with the circle centered in Komorów around the anthroposophist, scholar, and mystic Robert M. Walter.
Wierciński died on 8 December 2003, in Warsaw.

# Ducu Bertzi

Ducu Bertzi (Romanian pronunciation:; born September 21, 1955, Sighetu Marmației, Maramureș County, Romania) is a Romanian folk musician. His songs are usually his own compositions, but he also has in his repertoire some Romanian folk songs.

## Life

Until going to high school, he studied the violin for 8 years, and from the 9th grade he started the rock band "Mi bemol rock" with a couple of friends. With this band he would sing at high school serrates and ball-rooms Romanian songs and songs from the repertoire of other band that were in fashion at that time. In time, he renounced the electric guitar in favor of the acoustical one, due to lack of high quality technical equipment. The literature association from his hometown also inspired him to follow the paths of poetry. Later, at the first poetry and folk music festival at Sighet, in 1973, he won the Grand Prize.
In 1976 he became part of the folk stage of "Cenaclul Flacăra", and his first radio recording was made in 1979 for the song "Cînd s-o-mpărțit norocu'" ("When luck was being distributed").
Since then, he has always been present on the national and European music stages, the number of his concerts only until 1996 being greater than 3,200. Through his music, he tried to bring into the mainstream the poetry of not-so-well-known writers that he encountered and who impressed him, thus creating songs for their lyrics.
In parallel with his folk music career, he also revealed his talent on the theater stage, and in a choir, under the guidance of master Ioan Luchian Mihalea.
His best-known songs are "Și de-ar fi..." ("If it would be..."), "Floare de colț" ("Edelweiss"), "M-am îndrăgostit numai de ea" ("I fell in love with her only"), "Suflet fără chei" ("Keyless soul"), "Omul pădurii" ("Man of the woods").

# Matt Cavanagh

Matt Cavanagh (born 1971) is a British political adviser and author. He was a special adviser in the UK Labour government (2003–10). He worked for Home Secretary David Blunkett; for Chancellor Gordon Brown; for Defence Secretary Des Browne; and for Gordon Brown again as Prime Minister from June 2007 to May 2010. Subsequently, he was an associate director at the Institute for Public Policy Research, working on UK immigration policy. He now works in the private sector as Director of Government Relations for Prudential plc.

## Biography

Matthew Cavanagh was born in 1971. He was educated at Bedford Modern School and Balliol College, Oxford, where he read PPE, and then took a BPhil and DPhil in Philosophy. From 1996 to 2000 he was lecturer in Philosophy at St Catherine's College, Oxford. From 2000 to 2003 he was a strategy consultant for the Boston Consulting Group.
Cavanagh is the author of Against Equality of Opportunity a controversial work of 2002 that criticises conventional understandings of the doctrine of equality of opportunity. It gained positive reviews across the political spectrum, including in the Times Educational Supplement and in The Spectator. Other reviews were mixed, including Jeremy Waldron in the London Review of Books and in the Guardian.
Two years later in 2004, with Cavanagh now working as a special adviser, the Guardian returned to the book with a front-page story arguing that his views on race and equal opportunity made him unfit to work in government. This led to widespread calls for Cavanagh to be sacked, with questions tabled in Parliament, and the affair rumbled on for a few days. The Guardian letters page carried a balance of letters for and against Cavanagh.
In 2009 he was briefly in the news again, when he was accused of putting pressure on NHS statisticians to release statistics on knife crime prematurely. The UK Statistics Watchdog reprimanded Downing Street, and again there were calls for his sacking, including from the Public Administration Committee.
Cavanagh has written on Afghanistan and other subjects for Prospect and The Spectator magazines. He is a regular contributor to a number of blogs including the New Statesman, The Spectator, and Labour Uncut.
He was the British national champion at Rugby fives in 2004 and 2006, and has since been a veteran winner.
