Founded in 1964, Chari Jazz was the first modern Chad musical group.  

Chari Jazz was preceded by 1962 creation in N'Djamena (then Fort-Lamy) of Tchad succès, a band composed mainly of Cameroonian and Congolese musicians, though including Bar Kossi.  Musician Naimou Mbaitoloum was joined by his friends from Sarh (then Fort-Archambault), forming the band Star Jazz in 1964.  The poorly equipped Star Jazz was sponsored by President François Tombalbaye, who further changed its name to Chari Jazz. (Sarh was located in the Moyen-Chari Prefecture.)  Tombalbaye sent Chari Jazz to Zaire to learn from Francois Luambo Makiadi and Tabu Ley Rochereau, under whom it gathered members Kossi, Kemtchang Daniel, Adoum Fremouss and Alladoumbaye Béyamra.  Upon return, Chari Jazz set up in Fort-Lamy.  Malao Hennecy from the Central African Republic also became associated with the band in 1965.  Before it could be established, in 1965 musician Kader left the group to form Logone Band based out of Moundou, followed by the departure of guitarist Ramadingué, who formed African Mélody.

Heather Phillips is an American operatic coloratura soprano. She began her career at the Santa Fe Opera where she created there the role of Katie in Jennifer Higdon's Cold Mountain in 2015. She made her European debut at the Oper Frankfurt in 2022 in the title role of Rossini's Bianca e Falliero.

Life 
Phillips studied at the University of Cincinnati – College-Conservatory of Music, obtaining both Bachelor and Master of Arts diplomas. She was a member of the Santa Fe Opera's studio, appearing as Sardula in Menotti's The Last Savage and as Contessa in Rossini's Il viaggio a Reims. She joined the company for a year in 2014, performing roles such as Frasquita in Bizet's Carmen and Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto. She created there the role of Katie in Jennifer Higdon's Cold Mountain in 2015. Phillips performed as Konstanze in Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the Opera in New Orleans, and as Elvira in Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri at the Lyric Opera of Kansas City.

In concert, she appeared with orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the Austin Symphony Orchestra and the Canton Symphony Orchestra.

Phillips made her European debut at the Oper Frankfurt in 2022 in the title role of Rossini's Bianca e Falliero, alongside Beth Taylor as Falliero, directed by  and conducted by Giuliano Carella. The work had been planned for 2020, and in collaboration with the Tirol Festival in Erl, to conclude a focus of Rossini's works. 

A reviewer from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung described her beginning of "Da un istante, da un momento" in a quartet tenderly like a silver thread. He wrote that she portrayed her character's development from a naive girl to a suffering victim of power, with the pathos of Greek tragedy, and finally to a disillusioned self-determined woman, with a delicate voice full of nuances, and shining in ensembles. Another reviewer noted her precise and flexible coloraturas, serving to portray the development of her characters.

Henry Meriton  (1762–1826) was an English sea captain who worked for the British East India Company (EIC). During his service he was involved in a famous shipwreck and three naval engagements.

Henry was born in Rotherhithe. He first went to sea as an apprentice sailing on John and Richard, which was involved in the slave trade.

In 1783 he began his career with the EIC, starting as Third Mate on . He was second mate on Halsewell, which foundered off Purbeck on 6 January 1786. He wrote an account of the shipwreck with John Rogers, Third Mate. He was subsequently Chief Mate on , , and also on .

Meriton was captain of Exeter on her fourth voyage. It was this voyage that gave Meriton his order of rank in the EIC. His rank as commander dated from 16 October 1799, when he was given command of Exeter.

It was on this voyage that Meriton participated in a notable naval action in which Meriton and Exeter captured a French frigate.

Meriton was still captain of Exeter on her fifth voyage when she participated in the Battle of Pulo Aura on 14 February 1804. A fleet of East Indiamen bluffed a French naval squadron into withdrawing, believing that the East Indiamen were a stronger British naval squadron.

After this voyage Meriton would go on to make several others for the EIC in different ships, with the result that in all he would hold the record of 12 voyages for the company.

Meriton was wounded and captured in the action of 3 July 1810 while captain of . This was his last voyage. He then served from 1813-25 as the Marine Superintendent for the EIC in Bombay.

He died in Greenwich on 7 August 1826.

Józef Ludwik Wolff (born December 15, 1852, in Warsaw, died August 9, 1900, in Heidelberg) was a Polish historian, bookseller, heraldist and genealogist.

Biography 
He was born into the family of a merchant and banker of Jewish origin, Ludwik Wolff and Józefina née Zdzieniecka. After graduating from high schools in Poland, he studied economic sciences in Leipzig. He then worked at the Commercial Bank in Warsaw as an authorized representative. Later he moved to St. Petersburg, where, in addition to his bookselling activities, he conducted source research on the Lithuanian Metrica. He was a correspondent member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Kraków. He left behind several significant prosopographical studies. Some of them, although published under his name, were in fact authored by Konstanty Ożarowski. Of Wolff's unpublished legacy, we should mention the manuscript of his four-volume work Herbarz szlachty litewskiej, which burned down along with his book collection of 2,100 items at the Krasiński Library in Warsaw in 1944. He is buried in the Powązki cemetery (quarters 156-2-16/17).

On November 27, 1875, he married his cousin, the daughter of his uncle Bolesław Maurycy Wolff, Zofia Leonia Wolff. With her he had a daughter Maria Helena, born on February 20, 1880.

Emilie Grace Briggs (1867 in Berlin–1944) was an American writer. The daughter of Charles Augustus Briggs, the controversial theologian, and Julia Valentine Briggs, Briggs was the first female graduate, of Union Theological Seminary, graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity in 1897.  Her graduation came just one year after women were allowed to 'visit' classes for the first time.  She devoted her life to biblical exegesis and teaching, care for her father's estate (including his unpublished works), and her ongoing study of "women as deacons."  She is listed as a co-author of several of her father's books. When her father died in 1913, the task of finishing many of father's works in progress at the time.  Despite significant effort on Briggs's part, her success at further publication was limited. Her papers are available at the Columbia University Libraries.

Creusis or Kreusis (), or Creusa or Kreousa (Κρέουσα), also Creusia or Kreousia (Κρεουσία), was a town of ancient Boeotia, at the head of a small bay in the Corinthian Gulf, described by ancient writers as the port of Thespiae. The navigation from Peloponnesus to Creusis is described by Pausanias as insecure, on account of the many headlands which it was necessary to double, and of the violent gusts of wind rushing down from the mountains. Creusis was on the borders of Megaris. One of the highest points of Mount Cithaeron projects into the sea between Creusis and Aegosthena, the frontier town in Megaris, leaving no passage along the shore except a narrow path on the side of the mountain. In confirmation of Pausanias, William Martin Leake, who visited the site in the 19th century, remarks that this termination of Mt. Cithaeron, as well as all the adjoining part of the Alcyonic Sea, is subject to sudden gusts of wind, by which the passage of such a cornice is sometimes rendered dangerous. On two occasions the Lacedaemonians retreated from Boeotia by this route, in order to avoid the more direct roads across Mt. Cithaeron. On the first of these occasions, in 378 BCE, the Lacedaemonian army under Cleombrotus I was overtaken by such a violent storm that the shields of the soldiers were wrested from their hands by the wind, and many of the beasts of burden were blown over the precipices. The second time that they took this route was after the fatal Battle of Leuctra, in 371 BCE. 

Its site is located near modern Livadostro.

Peter Lennon Koechley is an American writer and internet entrepreneur. He was the managing editor of The Onion and co-founded Upworthy.

Biography 
Koechley attended Madison West High School and graduated from Columbia University in 2003 with a double major in philosophy and creative writing. In 2005, he was profiled by Ezra Klein as the youngest staff writer for The Onion on Generation Progress.

His association with The Onion began when he published his first article on the site at age 17 as a high school student in Madison, Wisconsin. He also published a satirical newspaper on campus and sent articles to The Onion, eventually attracting the latter's attention. Later, he began to work at the office of the publication and landed an internship during his senior year in high school as the site's first intern. At Columbia, he also freelanced for the publication, publishing a total of 25 articles for which he received a payment of $20. He was hired out of college and became manager editor of the website at age 24. At The Onion, Koechley was responsible for creating the Onion News Network and gravitated towards tech content.

Koechley joined MoveOn in 2009 to produce viral media content for the nonprofit group. There he met Eli Pariser and the two began to develop a concept for a platform that generates viral content devoted to significant social issues, what they call "social media with a mission". Their business plan appealed to Chris Hughes, who provided them with $500,000 in seed capital. They also attracted seed capital from BuzzFeed co-founder John Seward Johnson III and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

In 2012, Koechley and Pariser launched Upworthy. By the end of October 2012, it has attracted 8.7 million users, leading Business Insider to name it the fastest growing media company in the world.

In 2015, he apologized for Upworthy's out-sized success and pledged to change the algorithm, saying:"We sort of unleashed a monster. Sorry for that. Sorry we kind of broke the internet last year. I'm excited going forward to say goodbye to clickbait."

In 2017, Koechley announced his departure from Upworthy. He has been working with Compass, Inc. founder Robert Reffkin, in writing the book No One Succeeds Alone: Learn Everything You Can from Everyone You Can, published in 2021.

In 2021, Koechley joined The Our City PAC, a progressive political action committee supporting left-leaning mayoral and New York City Council candidates.

Personal life 
Koechley is born to Barbara E. Koechley and Robert H. Koechley in Madison, Wisconsin. His father is an executive with Promega Corporation and his mother is a teacher for the McFarland School District in McFarland, Wisconsin. In 2009, Koechley married Kristina Williams, also a Madison native. The couple lives in Brooklyn.
