Darbari Kanada, or simply Darbari, is a raga in Hindustani music in the Kanada family, which originated in the Carnatic music tradition, and is considered to have been brought into North Indian music by Miyan Tansen, the legendary 16th century composer in emperor Akbar’s court. This tradition is reflected in the name itself; Darbar is the Persian derived word in Hindi meaning “court.” As the most familiar raga in the Kanada family, it may sometimes also be called Shuddha Kanada or pure Kanada. It belongs to the Asavari thaat.

Darbari is a grave raga, played deep into the night, considered to be one of the more difficult to master, and with the potential for profound emotional impact.

The ascension of aroha is in the lower and middle octaves. In the arohi the note Ga (gandhar) komal is used in a weak manner and a slow vibrato (andolan) on this note. The association of the notes Ni and Pa sounds pleasing. Its Vadi swar is Re and Samavadi is Pa.

aroha: S R (R)g, (R)g

avroha: (M)g, (M)g M (S)R, S

For reference, the set of notes in the Asavari thaat is S R g M P d n, and for Darbari, the role of the komal gandhar is crucial.

Other ragas in the Kanada family include Abhogi Kanada, Nayaki Kanada, Shahana Kanada, Kaushi Kanada and Adana.

J. Stuart Perkins

Jump to: navigation, search

J. Stuart Perkins was president of the U.S. sales subsidiary of Volkswagen, Volkswagen of America, from 1965 to 1981. During his tenure as president of VW’s American operations, sales of VW cars peaked in the United States, the model lineup was greatly expanded beyond the Volkswagen Beetle with new rear-engined, aircooled cars, and Volkswagen offered its first front-wheel-drive vehicles.

Perkins was born in London in 1928, and was one of Volkswagen’s first three U.S. employees when the American sales office was established in April 1955. In June 1965, Perkins was appointed vice president and general manager of the operation, and he became president that December, succeeding Dr. Carl Hahn. Perkins enjoyed great success in expanding VW’s dealership network and increasing sales figures in America - the company sold 569,696 vehicles the United States in 1970, Volkswagen of America’s best year ever - and Volkswagen had a tremendous advantage in marketing the Beetle’s front-wheel-drive replacement, the Rabbit (known as the Volkswagen Golf in Europe) when it was introduced in January 1975. By 1976, however, Perkins was at odds with the company’s plans to build Rabbits in the United States when it seemed a questionable idea due to logistical problems. He was further agitated when the job of running VW’s new plant in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania was given to a manager from Chevrolet, whose cars were distinctly different from VW’s. Perkins was well-loved and respected by his coworkers, though, and he remained the head of Volkswagen of America until 1981.

Ray Sharkey
Actor Ray Sharkey
Born	Raymond Sharkey, Jr. November 14, 1952(1952-11-14) Brooklyn, New York, USA
Died	June 11, 1993 (aged 40) Brooklyn, New York, USA

Ray Sharkey (November 14, 1952 – June 11, 1993) was an American Golden Globe-winning actor best known for his role as Sonny Steelgrave in the television series, Wiseguy.

Early life & career

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Ray’s father, Ray Sharkey, Sr., a professional drummer, abandoned the family when Ray was just 5 years old. In later years Ray Sr. would work as a doorman at 60 Sutton Place South in Manhattan. Although Ray Jr. would mention his anger at his father for his desertion of his mother, there is some evidence that he did keep occasionally in touch with his father, who was always proud of his acting achievements. His mother, Cecelia, raised Ray, with assistance from her parents, in Brooklyn’s rough Red Hook neighborhood. After seeing the Broadway production of Hair at 17, Ray decided to become an actor, and started studying acting at the H.B. Studio in New York City. In 1974, he made his film debut in The Lords of Flatbush. Sharkey would go on to appear in more than forty motion pictures and dozens of guest appearances on various television series.

In 1981, Ray won a Golden Globe Award for his performance in The Idolmaker. The following year, he was nominated for another Golden Globe for his role in The Ordeal of Bill Carney. In 1987, Sharkey landed the role of Sonny Steelgrave in the series Wiseguy.

Personal life

In 1981, Ray had a brief relationship with Italian actress Ornella Muti while filming the 1982 drama, Love and Money. The same year, he married actress Rebecca Wood. The union would end in 1986, reportedly due to Sharkey’s drug abuse. In 1988, he married actress Carole Graham. That marriage would produce one daughter, Cecelia Bonnie Sharkey, in 1989. Again, the union ended in divorce in 1992. In 1991, Ray began a seven month relationship with model and actress, Elena Monica.

Later years

Ray struggled with an addiction to cocaine and heroin throughout his career. He was involved in four drug-related car wrecks, two requiring microsurgery on his eyes. On July 30, 1992, while filming a guest spot on the tv series, The Hat Squad, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, he was arrested for drug possession. Canadian customs officials, making a routine inspection of incoming cargo at the airport, discovered small amounts of cocaine and heroin in a black envelope being sent from Los Angeles, California to Sharkey. Police searched his hotel room and found an additional supply of drugs. He was jailed and later released on bail. He was promptly fired from The Hat Squad and replaced by actor Kim Coates.

Sharkey reportedly contracted the AIDS virus through his indiscriminate drug use and was diagnosed as HIV positive in 1987. Despite his diagnosis, Ray remained in denial about his HIV positive status. Sharkey convinced himself he harbored a strain of HIV that would never endanger himself or anyone else. He told no one of his condition, and reportedly did not disclose the fact that he was HIV positive to women he was in intimate relationships with.

Death

In 1992, former girlfriend, Elena Monica, sued Sharkey for US$52 million dollars for knowingly infecting her with the AIDS virus. Ray, still denying he had the virus despite rapidly ailing health, declined to challenge the suit. By default judgment, Monica won the suit, but received no money from Sharkey’s estate because the actor died virtually penniless.

In 1993, Sharkey died of AIDS at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. He was 40 years old. He is interred in Saint Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, Long Island, New York.

Alexander Ales (Alesius) (23 April 1500–17 March 1565) was a Scottish theologian of the school of Augsburg.

Originally Alexander Alane, he was born at Edinburgh. He studied at St Andrews in the newly-founded college of St Leonard’s, where he graduated in 1515. Some time afterwards he was appointed a canon of the collegiate church, where he contended vigorously for the scholastic theology as against the doctrines of the Reformers. His views entirely changed, however, on the execution of Patrick Hamilton, abbot of Fern, in 1528. He had been chosen to meet Hamilton in controversy, with a view to convincing him of his errors, but the arguments, of the Scottish proto-martyr, and above all the spectacle of his heroism at the stake, impressed Alesius so powerfully that he was won over to the cause of the Reformers.

A sermon he preached before the Synod at St Andrews against the dissoluteness of the clergy offended the provost, who placed him in prison, and might have carried his resentment further if Alesius had not escaped to Germany in 1532. After travelling through northern Europe, he settled down at Wittenberg, where he made the acquaintance of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon, and signed the Augsburg confession. Meanwhile he was tried in Scotland for heresy and condemned without a hearing. In 1533 a decree of the Scottish clergy, prohibiting the reading of the New Testament by the laity, drew from Alesius a defence of the right of the people, in the form of a letter to King James V of Scotland (1513–42).

A reply to this by Johann Cochlaeus, also addressed to the Scottish king, occasioned a second letter from Alesius, in which he amplified his argument with great force and entered into more general questions. In August 1534 he and a few others were excommunicated at Holyrood by the deputy of the archbishop of St Andrews. When King Henry VIII of England (1509–47) broke with the church of Rome Alesius was persuaded to go to England, where he was cordially received (August 1535) by the king and his advisers, Thomas Cranmer and Thomas Cromwell.

After a short stay at Lambeth Palace he was appointed, through the influence of Cromwell, then chancellor of the university, to lecture on theology at the University of Cambridge; but when he had delivered a few expositions of the Hebrew psalms, he was prevented from continuing by the papal party. Returning to London he supported himself for some time by practising as a physician. In 1537 he attended a convocation of the clergy, and at the request of Cromwell conducted a controversy with John Stokesley, Bishop of London, on the nature of the sacraments. His argument was afterwards published under the title Of Me Auctorile of the Word of God concerning the number of the sacraments.

In 1539 Alesius was compelled to flee for a second time to Germany, as a result of Thomas Cromwell’s fall from power and the enactment of the statute of the Six Articles. He was appointed to a theological chair at the university of Frankfurt (Oder), where he was the first professor to teach the reformed doctrines. He was in England again for a short time during Edward VI’s reign, and was commissioned by Cranmer to make a Latin version of the First Prayer-Book (1549) for the information of Martin Bucer, whose opinion was desired.

Returning to Leipsig he passed the remainder of his days in peace and honour, and was twice elected Rector of the University. His writings were both exegetical and controversial, but chiefly the latter. They include Expositio Libri Psalmorum Davidis (1550). His controversial works refer to such subjects as the translation of the Bible into the vernacular, against Servetus, etc.

Alesius published a large number of exegetical, dogmatic and polemical works, of which over twenty are mentioned by Bale in his List of English Writers. In his controversial works he upholds the synergistic views of the Scottish theologian John Major. He displayed his interest in his native land by the publication of a Cohortatio ad Concordiam Pietatis, missa in Patriam suam (1544), which had the express approval of Luther, and a Cohortatio ad Pietatis Concordiam ineundam (1559).

Rhodie is a colloquial and, occasionally, derogatory term. It is typically applied to a white Zimbabwean or expatriate Rhodesian who is nostalgic for the pre-independence (that is, pre-1980) era in Zimbabwe/Rhodesia.

Origins of the term

The term was first used by British army and civil service personnel in Rhodesia (the pre-independence name for Zimbabwe) during the period immediately before the country’s independence :

“… the British squaddies look with faint contempt on the Rhodesians (or “Rhodies” as they sometimes call them; military slang mushrooms overnight).” - Simon Hoggart, the Guardian, February 1980

The term was initially applied to all white Rhodesians. After independence, the term began to be applied increasingly to those Rhodesians who were nostalgic for the past. The nostalgia a Rhodie feels relates particularly to the UDI era (1965 to 1979) during which time the country’s white population, led by the government of Ian Smith, declared independence from Britain while denying political aspirations to the majority black population. The UDI regime in Rhodesia sought to perpetuate a semi-colonial system in which whites controlled the political system. The UDI project ended in a civil war fought between the white government and black insurgents.

Current usage of the term

Usage of the term “Rhodie” changed further in post-independence Zimbabwe. It began to be applied to a white Zimbabwean of a particular kind. An image published in The Sunday Times in 1984 showed a poster in Harare reading “no drugs, no rhodies, no racists, no troublemakers” This poster was displayed outside a club owned and operated by white Zimbabweans. A Rhodie is invariably a white (European ethnic origin) person and his/her characteristics are typically assumed to be :

• a belief in the superiority of whites over blacks
• a tendency to indulge in alcohol
• an inclination towards occasional violence

“Remaindered from the Rhodesian war, all they have now is their ghosts inadequately repressed by extreme religion, alcohol, purple pills or a penchant for tearing down bars. Don’t believe these guys don’t exist. Spot them at the end of a Harare Rhodie bar or even worse stumbling towards you across the terrace of a bush hotel …” The Guardian, September 2004

It should be noted that expatriate Rhodesians outside Zimbabwe often describe each other affectionately as Rhodies. These people do not generally exhibit the characteristics indicated above.

A “Rhodie bar” is an establishment frequented by Rhodies and is often decorated with memorabilia of the UDI era and the Rhodesian war. Such establishments (in pubs, restaurants and hotels) can be found in most Zimbabwean towns and there are several in South African towns (e.g., Cape Town) where concentrations of Rhodesian expatriates live. There is at least one claimed Rhodie bar in England.

The term Rhodie can also carry social connotations. During the period after independence, about two thirds of Zimbabwe’s white population left the country. Those remaining tended to fall into two distinct categories. Firstly, there were individuals of high social status possessing professional skills and property which would enable them to survive in the new order. Secondly, there were individuals of low social status lacking the skills or qualities needed to emigrate. This last group were the main losers from independence and many of them became Rhodies.

The term Rhodie is used throughout the English speaking world. It tends to be used in Commonwealth countries as the equivalent of the American term “redneck”. It is occasionally applied to a person with no Zimbabwean connections, carrying connotations of a conservative world view and boorish behaviour.

The term “Zimbo” is nowadays applied to a white Zimbabwean with a more racially equal outlook. A Rhodie will often describe a Zimbo as a “kaffir boetie” (black brother) because of the Zimbo view that blacks are equal to whites. The word “kaffir” is Arabic and means “heathen” or “infidel/unbeliever” and has been used by whites in Africa to describe the Bantu races for centuries.
