Arbore debuted in left-wing politics from early in life, gained an intimate knowledge of the Russian revolutionary milieu, and participated in both nihilist and Narodnik conspiracies. Self-exiled to Switzerland, he became a member of the International Workingmen's Association. Arbore was mostly active as an international anarchist and a disciple of Mikhail Bakunin, but eventually parted with the latter to create his independent group, the Revolutionary Community. He was subsequently close to the anarchist geographer \u00c9lis\u00e9e Reclus, who became his new mentor.

The claim's reliability divides modern researchers. While historian of journalism Victor Frunz\u0103 sees Arbore as descending \"from an ancient family of local boyars\", academic Lucian Boia describes Zamfir Arbore as being tied to the historical Arbores by \"a rather thin line\". Boia also notes that Arbore's \"revised past\" and arbitrary interpretation of his own background may have been opportunistic, leaving Arbore free to gravitate between conflicting national identities and rendering his radical discourse more palatable for all cultural contexts. According to political scientist Armand Go\u0219u, Arbore had effectively \"stolen\" his grandmother's maiden name, reviving an otherwise extinct boyar line. Although mostly active in Bessarabia, Arbore was actually a native of Chernowitz (), the administrative center of Bukovina within the Austrian Empire (now Chernivtsi, Ukraine).

Reputedly threatened with an extradition back into the Russian Empire, Zamfir Arbore moved to Romania after the beginning of a Russo-Turkish War, during which the country, a Russian ally, obtained her independence from the Ottoman Empire. He later recalled that the inspiration for this move was young Romanian leftist Mircea Rosetti, whom he had first met during Reclus' visit to Vevey. Arbore's original goal was the spread of revolutionary propaganda among soldiers in the Imperial Russian Army, but, in short time, he settled down in Bucharest. It was there that Arbore fathered a second daughter, Lolica, who died without reaching maturity. Arbore later set up, with fellow exiles Dobrogeanu-Gherea, Zubcu-Codreanu, Pavel Axelrod and Nikolai Sudzilovsky (Russel), an underground political movement agitating for the cause of Bessarabian Romanians; by means of this group, he is said to have gained access within the governing"}, {"title": "Zamfir Arbore", "text": " M\u00e2ine\" published an obituary, which referred to Arbore as \"one of the highest profile representative figures [in socialism], and one of the most worthy examples for all people-loving generations to follow.\"</s><s>Political and scientific theories.</s><s>Political and scientific theories.:Arbore's political program.

His Narodnik ideals subsided with time: according to literary historian Leonid Cemortan, Arbore was \"totally defeated\" in his Narodnik activity, realized that it was an \"unattainable dream\", but was nonetheless unable to \"verify and correct\" his vision. Arbore, who never registered his membership with any Romanian socialist party or faction, was reportedly perplexed by the antisemitism prevalent in his adoptive country, including among the Romanian socialists and trade unionists.

His Narodnik ideals subsided with time: according to literary historian Leonid Cemortan, Arbore was \"totally defeated\" in his Narodnik activity, realized that it was an \"unattainable dream\", but was nonetheless unable to \"verify and correct\" his vision.

He and Perciavalle starred in their production of Mar\u00eda In\u00e9s Quesada's \"Help Valentino!\" (1966), which they performed as a caf\u00e9-concert; this genre was popular in Argentina at the time, and the Gasalla-Perciavalle duo became among its best known exponents. They accepted roles in film productions of \"Un viaje de locos\" (\"Madmen's Journey\") and \"Cl\u00ednica con m\u00fasica\" (\"Musical Clinic\") in 1974.

She was able to photograph close up without attracting any comment, and greatly enjoyed the work. But she quickly moved to her main interest, working women. Despite an initial hatred of the American military, prompted in particular by her father's death, and revulsion at prostitution, she simply invited herself into the \"akasen\" (red-light area) of Yokohama, asked the girls whether she might photograph, and was accepted. Tokiwa would later marry an amateur photographer, (, 1914\u20131995) \u2013 whose photography of postwar Japan appears with hers in a 1996 book \u2013 and work as both housewife and photojournalist.

In 1972, Staubach suffered a separated right shoulder in the third preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams and Morton was named the starter.

He was taken on at Tubby's as an assistant, performing tasks such as winding transformer coils, and began working as a mixer in the mid-1970s, initially creating dubs of reworked Studio One tracks for Don Mais's Roots Tradition label, given his chance when Prince Jammy cut short a mixing session for Mais because he was too tired to continue. His name originated from"}, {"title": "Scientist (musician)", "text": " a comment by Bunny Lee to Tubby, with regard to his technical proficiency, \"Damn, this little boy must be a scientist.\" He left King Tubby's at the end of the 1970s and became the principal engineer for Channel One when hired by the Hoo Kim brothers, giving him the chance to work on a 16-track mixing desk rather than the four tracks at Tubby's.</s><s>The 1980s: King Tubby's, Tuff Gong. Scientist came to prominence in the early 1980s and produced many albums, his mixes featuring on many releases in the first part of the decade. He made a series of albums in the early 1980s, released on Greensleeves Records with titles themed around Scientist's fictional achievements in fighting Space Invaders, Pac-Men, and Vampires, and winning the World Cup. The music on these albums was played by Roots Radics, his most frequent collaborators. In particular, he was the favourite engineer of Henry \"Junjo\" Lawes, for whom he mixed several albums featuring Roots Radics, many based on tracks by Barrington Levy. He also did a lot of work for Linval Thompson and Jah Thomas. In 1982 he left Channel One to work at Tuff Gong studio as second engineer to Errol Brown"}, {"title": "Scientist (musician)", "text": ". Scientist worked as an engineer in recording studios in the Washington, D.C. area starting in 1985.</s><s>Licensing issues. Scientist has alleged in court that Greensleeves originally released albums without his knowledge, according to his interview with \"United Reggae\" online magazine. After this, Dub \u041c\u0438\u0440 label began working directly with Scientist to reissue his best-known work. In 2016, Greensleeves removed the Scientist moniker for a run of reissues, substituting titles such as \"Junjo Presents: Wins The World Cup\".</s><s>Partial discography. - \"Ranking Dread In Dub\" King Tubby And Scientist (1981) - \"Introducing Scientist: The Best Dub Album in the World\" (1980) - \"Allied Dub Selection\" (1980) \u2013 with Papa Tad's - \"Heavyweight Dub Champion\" (1980) - \"Big Showdown at King Tubby's\" (1980) \u2013 with Prince Jammy - \"Scientist Meets the Space Invaders\" (1981) - \"Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires\" (1981) - \"Scientist Meets the Roots Radics\" (1981) - \"Scientist in the Kingdom of Dub\" (1981)"}, {"title": "Scientist (musician)", "text": " Tubby\" (1990) - \"Freedom Fighters Dub\" (1995) - \"Dub in the Roots Tradition\" (1996) - \"Repatriation Dub\" (1996) - \"King Tubby Meets Scientist in a World of Dub\" (1996) \u2013 with King Tubby - \"King Tubby's Meets Scientist at Dub Station\" (1996) \u2013 with King Tubby - \"Dubbin With Horns\" (1995) - \"Dub Science\" (1997) - \"Dub Science, Dub For Daze, Volume 2\" (1997) - \"Scientist Meets the Crazy Mad Professor at Channel One Studio\" (1997) - \"Respect Due (Joseph I Meets the Scientist in Tribute to Jackie Mittoo)\" (1999) - \"Mach 1 Beyond Sound Barrier\" (1999) - \"Scientist Kills the Millenium Bug\" (1999) - \"Scientist Dubs Culture Into a Parallel Universe\" (2000) - \"All Hail the Dub Head\" (2001) - \"Ras Portrait\" (2003) - \"Pockets of Resistance\" (2003) - \"Scientist Meets The Pocket\" (2003\u20132004) - \"Nightshade Meets Scientist\" (2005) - featuring Wadi Gad"}, {"title": "Scientist (musician)", "text": " - \"Scientific Dub\" (1981) Tad's - \"Dub Landing Vol. 1\" (1981) - \"Yabby You & Michael Prophet Meet Scientist at the Dub Station\" (1981) - \"First, Second and Third Generation\" (1981) \u2013 with King Tubby and Prince Jammy - \"Dub War\" (1981) - \"World at War\" (1981) - \"Dub Landing Vol. 2\" (1982) \u2013 with Prince Jammy - \"High Priest of Dub\" (1982) - \"Dub Duel\" (1982) \u2013 with Crucial Bunny - \"Scientist Encounters Pac-Man\" (1982) - \"The Seducer Dub Wise\" (1982) - \"Scientist Wins the World Cup\" (1982) - \"Dub Duel at King Tubby's\" (1983) \u2013 The Professor - \"Scientist & Jammy Strike Back\" (1983) \u2013 with Prince Jammy - \"The People's Choice\" (1983) - \"Crucial Cuts Vol. 1\" (1984) - \"Crucial Cuts Vol. 2\" (1984) - \"1999 Dub\" (1984) - \"King of Dub\" (1987) - \"International Heroes Dub\" (1989) - \"Tribute to King"}]}

Takeo Miki was born on 17 March 1907, in Gosho, Tokushima Prefecture (present-day Awa, Tokushima), the only child of farmer-merchant Hisayoshi Miki and his wife Takano. Aside from farming, his father traded fertilizers, sake, rice and general goods, though he was not a wealthy farmer (\"g\u014dn\u014d\") or from a family of pedigree (\"ky\u016bke\"). Hisayoshi was born in Kakihara, near Gosho, to farmer Rokusabur\u014d Ino'o, and after briefly working in Osaka, he returned and began working for the Shibata family, the largest landowner in Gosho. He met Takano Miki, the daughter of farmer Tokitar\u014d Miki, when the two were working for the Shibata family. Hisayoshi took Takano's surname after marriage, and the newlywed were given a house by the Shibata family.

At the age of 19, Wong was cast in a supporting role as a scheming Mongol slave in the 1924 Douglas Fairbanks picture \"The Thief of Bagdad\". Playing a stereotypical \"Dragon Lady\" role, her brief appearances on-screen caught the attention of audiences and critics alike.

Around this time, Wong had an interracial relationship with Tod Browning, who had directed her in \"Drifting\" a year earlier.

She donated her salary for both films to United China Relief. \"The Lady from Chungking\" differed from the usual Hollywood war film in that the Chinese were portrayed as heroes rather than as victims rescued by Americans. Even after American characters are captured by the Japanese, the primary goal of the heroes is not to free the Americans, but to prevent the Japanese from entering the city of Chongqing (Chungking). Also, in an interesting twist, the Chinese characters are portrayed by Chinese-American actors, while the Japanese villains\u2014normally played by Chinese-American actors\u2014are acted by European Americans.

Finding it difficult to keep up with both her schoolwork and her passion, Wong dropped out of Los Angeles High School in 1921 to pursue a full-time acting career. Reflecting on her decision, Wong told \"Motion Picture Magazine\" in 1931: \"I was so young when I began that I knew I still had youth if I failed, so I determined to give myself 10\u00a0years to succeed as an actress.\" In 1921, Wong received her first screen credit for \"Bits of Life\", the first anthology film, in which she played the wife of Lon Chaney's character, Toy Ling, in a segment entitled \"Hop\".

The film grossed more than $2\u00a0million and helped introduce Wong to the public. Around this time, Wong had an interracial relationship with Tod Browning, who had directed her in \"Drifting\" a year earlier.

Wong's image and career have left a notable legacy. Through her films, public appearances and prominent magazine features, she helped to humanize Chinese Americans to mainstream American audiences during a period of intense racism and discrimination. Chinese Americans had been viewed as perpetually foreign in U.S. society, but Wong's films and public image established her as a Chinese-American citizen at a time when laws discriminated against Chinese immigration and citizenship. Wong's hybrid image dispelled contemporary notions that the East and West were inherently different. Among Wong's films, only \"Shanghai Express\" retained critical attention in the U.S. in the decades after her death. In Europe and especially England, her films appeared occasionally at festivals. Wong remained popular with the gay community, who claimed her as one of their own and for whom her marginalization by the mainstream became a symbol.

Her film \"Java Head\" (1934), though generally considered a minor effort, was the only film in which Wong kissed the lead male character, her white husband in the film. Wong's biographer, Graham Russell Hodges, commented that this may be why the film remained one of Wong's personal favorites. While in London, Wong met Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous stars of the Beijing Opera. She had long been interested in Chinese opera and Mei offered to instruct Wong if she ever visited China. In the 1930s, the popularity of Pearl Buck's novels, especially \"The Good Earth\", as well as growing American sympathy for"}, {"title": "Anna May Wong", "text": " is permanent. An illustrated biography for children, \"Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story\", was published in 2009. In 2016, the novelist Peter Ho Davies published \"The Fortunes\", a saga of Chinese-American experiences centered around four characters, one of whom is a fictionalized Anna May Wong, imagined from childhood until her death. In a conversation published in the 2017 paperback edition, Davies described his novel as an exploration of the Chinese-American quest for authenticity\u2014a third way of being Chinese-American\u2014with Anna May Wong representing an iconic example of that struggle. On January 22, 2020, a Google Doodle celebrated Wong, commemorating the 97th anniversary of the day \"The Toll of the Sea\" went into general release. In 2020, actress Michelle Krusiec played Wong in Ryan Murphy's Netflix drama series, \"Hollywood\". The limited series tells an alternate history of Hollywood in the 1940s. Also in 2020, her life story was told as part of PBS's documentary \"Asian Americans.\" In 2021, the United States Mint announced that Wong would be among the first women depicted on the reverse of the quarter coin as a part of the American Women quarters series.

A Chinese newspaper ran the headline: \"Paramount Utilizes Anna May Wong to Produce Picture to Disgrace China\" and continued, \"Although she is deficient in artistic portrayal, she has done more than enough to disgrace the Chinese race.\" Critics in China believed that Wong's on-screen sexuality spread negative stereotypes of Chinese women. The most virulent criticism came from the Nationalist government, but China's intellectuals and liberals were not always so opposed to Wong, as demonstrated when Peking University awarded the actress an honorary doctorate in 1932. Contemporary sources reported that this was probably the only time that an actor had been so honored. In both America and Europe, Wong had been seen as a fashion icon for over a decade. In 1934, the Mayfair Mannequin Society of New York voted her \"The World's best-dressed woman\" and in 1938 \"Look\" magazine named her \"The World's most beautiful Chinese girl\".</s><s>Biography.:Atlantic crossings.

Wong was scheduled to play the role of Madame Liang in the film production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's \"Flower Drum Song\", but was unable to take the role owing to her health problems.

At first the two men worked well together, but two weeks into filming Lubitsch began arriving on the set on a regular basis, and he soon began directing scenes with Cukor's consent. Upon the film's completion, Lubitsch approached Paramount general manager B.P. Schulberg and threatened to leave the studio if Cukor's name wasn't removed from the credits. When Schulberg asked him to cooperate, Cukor filed suit. He eventually settled for being billed as assistant director and then left Paramount to work with David O. Selznick at RKO Studios. Cukor quickly earned a reputation as a director who could coax great performances from actresses and he became known as a \"woman's director\", a title he resented.

His father, a small landowner, had started as an agricultural labourer and became the manager for the Perestrelos, a wealthy family of rural landowners of the region of Santa Comba D\u00e3o who possessed lands and other assets scattered between Viseu and Coimbra. He was the only male child of two fifth cousins, Ant\u00f3nio de Oliveira (1839\u20131932) and his wife Maria do Resgate Salazar (1845\u20131926).

Lighthouse design was the family's profession; Thomas's father (Robert's grandfather) was the civil engineer Robert Stevenson, and Thomas's brothers (Robert's uncles) Alan and David were in the same field. Thomas's maternal grandfather Thomas Smith had been in the same profession. However, Robert's mother's family were gentry, tracing their lineage back to Alexander Balfour who had held the lands of Inchrye in Fife in the fifteenth century.

Each year during the holidays, Stevenson travelled to inspect the family's engineering works: to Anstruther and Wick in 1868, with his father on his official tour of Orkney and Shetland islands lighthouses in 1869, and for three weeks to the island of Erraid in 1870. He enjoyed the travels more for the material they gave for his writing than for any engineering interest. The voyage with his father pleased him because a similar journey of Walter Scott with Robert Stevenson had provided the inspiration for Scott's 1822 novel \"The Pirate\". In April 1871, Stevenson notified his father of his decision to"}, {"title": "Robert Louis Stevenson", "text": " writing about human nature \"in terms of a contest between Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde\": \"the edges of moral responsibility and the margins of moral judgement were too blurred\".

Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health.

In 1890, he settled in Samoa where, alarmed at increasing European and American influence in the South Sea islands, his writing turned away from romance and adventure fiction toward a darker realism. He died of a stroke in his island home in 1894 at age 44.

The numerous attacks and goal opportunities he generated through individual plays would often end up in an accurate pass to a teammate in a position to score. This occurred in the first two of Brazil's goals in the 1958 World Cup final and the second goal against Spain in the 1962 tournament. He was also an excellent header of the ball despite his relatively short stature. He is one of a few players to have scored direct from a corner, a feat he managed to do 4 times in his career. Regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, he was voted into the World Team of the 20th Century by 250 of the world's most respected football writers and journalists, came seventh in the FIFA Player of the Century grand jury vote, and was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Time Team.</s><s>Honours.

Capable of both scoring goals and creating chances for teammates, he also possessed a powerful shot with either foot and was a gifted crosser and set piece specialist known for his bending free kicks and corners taken with the outside of his foot. However, it was his dribbling skills he was most famous for, a skill he retained throughout his career. Regarding Garrincha's dribbling ability, football writer Scott Murray remarked when writing for \"The Guardian\" in 2010: \"...the bottom line is uncontestable: Garrincha was the greatest dribbler ever.\" Adored by the Brazilian public due to his innocence, carefree attitude and ability to entertain in making fools of opposing players, Garrincha was referred to as \"Joy of the"}, {"title": "Garrincha", "text": "'s reserves and then scored a hat trick on his first-team d\u00e9but against Bonsucesso on 19 July 1953.

At the Colonial Office in Whitehall, Carnarvon and Kruger's own colleagues were astonished when, speaking through interpreters, he rose to what Meintjes calls \"remarkable heights of oratory\", averring that the annexation breached the Sand River Convention and went against the popular will in the Transvaal. His arguments were undermined by reports to the contrary from Shepstone and other British officials, and by a widely publicised letter from a Potchefstroom vicar claiming that Kruger only represented the will of \"a handful of irreconcilables\". Carnarvon dismissed Kruger's idea of a general plebiscite and concluded that British rule would remain.

During the voyage to England Kruger encountered a 19-year-old law student from the Orange Free State named Martinus Theunis Steyn.

In 1845, while he was hunting rhinoceros along the Steelpoort River, his four-bore elephant gun exploded in his hands and blew off most of his left thumb.

He refused calls to have the hand amputated by a doctor, and instead cut off the remains of the injured thumb himself with a pocketknife.

Gilberto is often called \"the invisible wall\" in Brazil. His play often goes unnoticed as he positions himself between the two centre backs and the rest of midfield, breaking up opposition attacks before they gather momentum. In this role, he is a part of the defensive unit for both club and country. When playing, he is more passive than most players in defence. Rather than tackle an opponent, he is more likely to shadow him, thus pushing him back. As a result, he has an unusually clean record for a defensive midfielder: he has twice gone 45 games or more without receiving a single booking during his Arsenal career. \"Gilberto Silva Statistics\". Soccerbase. Retrieved 25 September 2006. Gilberto is good at helping to defend against opponents who play a long ball game because he often man marks the opposition's attacking target-man.

CIA paramilitary officer Billy Waugh tracked down Bin Ladin in Sudan and prepared an operation to apprehend him, but was denied authorization.

His research suggests that al-Qaeda was formed at an 11 August 1988, meeting between several senior leaders of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Abdullah Azzam, and bin Laden, where it was agreed to join bin Laden's money with the expertise of the Islamic Jihad organization and take up the jihadist cause elsewhere after the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan.

Based on the medical assessments of her pregnancy, she was less than five years old when she became pregnant, which was possibly due to precocious puberty.</s><s>Early life and development. Lina Medina was born in 1933 in Ticrapo, Castrovirreyna Province, Peru, to parents Tiburelo Medina, a silversmith, and Victoria Losea. She was one of nine children. Her parents took her to a hospital in Pisco at age five due to increasing abdominal size. Doctors originally thought she had a tumor but then determined that she was in her seventh month of pregnancy. Dr Gerardo Lozada had specialists in Lima confirm the pregnancy. There was widespread interest in the case. The \"San Antonio Light\" newspaper in Texas reported in its 16 July 1939 edition that a Peruvian obstetrician and midwife association had demanded she be admitted to a national maternity hospital, and quoted reports in the Peruvian paper \"La Cr\u00f3nica\" that an American film studio had sent"}, {"title": "Lina Medina", "text": " a representative \"with authority to offer the sum of $5,000 to benefit the minor\" in return for filming rights, but \"we know that the offer was rejected\". The article noted that Lozada had made films of Medina for scientific documentation and had shown them while addressing Peru's National Academy of Medicine. Some of the films had fallen into a river on a visit to the girl's hometown, but enough remained to \"intrigue the learned savants\". Six weeks after the diagnosis, on 14 May 1939, Medina gave birth to a boy by caesarean section. She was 5 years, 7 months, and 21 days old, the youngest person in history to give birth. The caesarean birth was necessitated by her small pelvis. The surgery was performed by Lozada and Dr Busalleu, with Dr Colareta providing anaesthesia. The doctors found she had fully mature sexual organs from precocious puberty. Dr. Edmundo Escomel reported her case in the medical journal \"La Presse M\u00e9dicale\", including that her menarche had occurred at eight months of age, in contrast to previous reports that she had had regular periods since the age of three or two and a half.

Although it was speculated that the case was a hoax, a number of doctors over the years have verified it based on biopsies, X rays of the fetal skeleton \"in utero\", and photographs taken by the doctors caring for her. There are two published photographs documenting the case. The first was taken around the beginning of April 1939, when Medina was seven and a half months into pregnancy. Taken from her left side, it shows her standing naked in front of a neutral backdrop. It is the only published photograph taken during her pregnancy.
