Story

Five youths from Edo City explore a strange rocky island and discover the mecha that Doctor Hoarai had been creating in order to resist the impending attack by a race of subterranean rock people. Doctor Hoarai was ridiculed by the scientific community for his predictions that such an attack would take place. The youths decide to join the doctor (who was dead but had transferred his mind into a computer) in piloting the vehicles and protecting Earth. The Gowapper 5 Godam team is born! With the aid of the giant fighting robot Godam, the Gowapper team under the leadership of Yoko Misaki must face the hordes of the inhuman subterranean people.

Concept

Gowappa was the first super robot anime to feature a female as the leader and main character. This was done in an effort to increase the TV viewing demographic to both male and female youth.

Hugh Curwen

Jump to: navigation, search

Hugh Curwen (died 1 November 1568), was an English ecclesiastic and statesman. He was a native of Westmorland and educated at Cambridge, afterwards taking orders in the church.

In May 1533 he expressed approval of Henry VIII’s marriage with Anne Boleyn in a sermon preached before the king. In 1541 he became dean of Hereford, and in 1555 Queen Mary nominated him to the archbishopric of Dublin, and in the same year he was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He acted as one of the lords justices during the absence from Ireland of the lord deputy, the earl of Sussex, in 1557.

On the accession of Elizabeth, Curwen at once accommodated himself to the new conditions by declaring himself a Protestant, and was continued in the office of lord chancellor. He was accused by the archbishop of Armagh of serious moral delinquency, and his recall was demanded both by the primate and the bishop of Meath. In 1567 Curwen resigned the see of Dublin and the office of lord chancellor, and was appointed bishop of Oxford.

Kellen Clemens (born June 6, 1983 in Lakeview, Oregon) is an American football quarterback who currently plays for the New York Jets of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Jets in the second round (49th overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played collegiately at Oregon.

Early years

He played high school football for the Burns Hilanders and led them to the Oregon state 3A championship game in 1999. In his high school career he threw for a state-record 8,646 yards (610-of-1,112) and 102 TD. He also received USA Today All-American honors and Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year while in high school, where he completed 218 of 395 passes for 3,464 yards (3,167 m) and 37 TD with 325 rushing yards and 15 TD in his senior season. He was coached by Terry Graham using the run and shoot offense.

College career

Clemens played college football at the University of Oregon. He assumed the role of starting QB in all 13 games in 2003 and responded by throwing for more TD passes and yards than any sophomore in school history, surpassing Dan Fouts–who had 16 TDs and 2,390 yards (2,190 m), in 1970. He posted three rushing TD, three passing TD and a career-best 437 passing yards in a road victory over Washington State as a junior. He was a senior during the 2005 season, and was pursuing several school records until he broke his ankle while playing a game at Arizona. He would miss the remaining three games of the season. Still, he finished 2005 with 2,406 passing yards, 19 TDs, only 4 interceptions, and a 152.87 passer efficiency rating. He finished his Oregon career with 7,555 passing yards.

NFL career

Clemens was selected by the Jets 49th overall in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft to serve as the secondary quarterback to Chad Pennington. A healthy Pennington resulted in little playing time for Clemens in 2006. He entered in a Game 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, rushed once for 8 yards but did not attempt a pass. He then made NFL debut in relief appearance against the Jacksonville Jaguars, recording his first career pass attempt and rushing once for 2 yards. He recorded only two attempts and 0 completions in his rookie season. Due to an injury to Chad Pennington in the Jets’ 2007-2008 season opener against the New England Patriots, Clemens recorded his first completed pass in the NFL with a final record for the day of five complete passes on ten attempts.

Clemens made his first career start in Week 2 of the 2007 season. Clemens’ effectiveness was minimized by the Ravens’ defense for the first three quarters, with the Jets trailing 20-3 at one point. However, in the fourth quarter, Clemens led the Jets on a scoring drive that cut Baltimore’s lead to 20-13. On the last drive, Clemens attempted what would have been a game-tying touchdown pass to Jets wide receiver Justin McCareins, but the pass was dropped by McCareins instead of caught, and was then intercepted by the Ravens’ Ray Lewis.

His next appearance would come in the Jets’ Week 8 match-up against the Buffalo Bills. A struggling Pennington was pulled by head coach Eric Mangini in the middle of the fourth quarter and replaced by Clemens. Clemens led two drives against the Buffalo defense. Down 13-3 and pressed for time, Clemens attempted to quickly move the Jets offense down the field but was intercepted twice. The following day, on October 29, 2007, Clemens was named the starting quarterback for the next game against the Washington Redskins.

Clemens earned his first career win on November 18 in an overtime game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He led the Jets to a 3-5 record as a starter.

On August 26, 2009, Jet’s head coach Rex Ryan announced that Mark Sanchez would be the starting quarterback for the 2009 season, a position left vacant after Brett Favre was released from the Jets in February. When Mike Nugent, the Jets’ kicker, injured his thigh, Clemens became the placekicker of the game against the Dolphins, but never made a kick. On December 3, 2009, Clemens was forced to come in against the Buffalo Bills after Mark Sanchez sprained his PCL. Clemens started the Jets next game against the 1-11 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although he didn’t do that well, the Jets still were victorious with a 26-3 win improving their record (7-6) and playoff chances

2009 Season

Clemens appeared in some games and threw for 125 yards with no touchdowns. He played mostly when Mark Sanchez was injured.

Personal life

Kellen is a sixth generation cattle rancher. He grew up herding cattle on his family’s 3,500-acre (14 km2) ranch in Burns, Oregon, where they own over 100 head of cattle. In his spare time, Kellen enjoys horseback riding.

Clemens has four sisters and majored in Business Administration at the University of Oregon. Clemens is an active member of Catholic Athletes for Christ. He is married to Nicole; they reside in Whippany, NJ. Their family received an unexpected blessing when Pope Benedict blessed and kissed their four-week-old baby girl at the final procession of the Papal Mass on April 17, 2008 at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.

Hans-Jürgen von Blumenthal

February 4th, 2010

















Hans-Jürgen von Blumenthal

Jump to: navigation, search

plainlinks ambox ambox-content” style=”">


Hans-Jürgen von Blumenthal.

Hans-Jürgen Graf von Blumenthal (February 23, 1907 – October 13, 1944) was a German aristocrat and Army officer in World War II who was executed by the Nazi régime for his role in the July 20 Plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. (Graf is a German noble title equal in rank to a Count or a British Earl).

Biography

He was born in Potsdam, near Berlin, son of Graf Hans (XII) von Blumenthal, and christened Hans-Jürgen Adam Ludwig Oscar Leopold Bernard Arthur. His father was a genial old colonel (who, mercifully, predeceased him by a few months), who after being wounded in the First World War, was given the job of governing the Belgian district of Neufchâteau, where he was one of the few occupying Germans to achieve popularity, mainly through his enthusiasm for hunting in the Ardennes.

Educated at the Potsdam Gymnasium until 1928, by which time (in 1926) his family, who had lost everything in the hyperinflation, had moved to Neustrelitz where he went to the Realgymnasium. He read Law and Economics for two years at Königsberg and Munich, and was heavily involved in the Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten (Steel Helmet Association), a conservative and fundamentally monarchist organisation originally for First World War veterans, later extended to military men generally. He edited Stahlhelm’s journal until the Nazis took the Association over in 1935. He was an instructor in the “covert” army.

In 1930 he went on a three-month debating trip in the USA. At about this time he began to take an interest in the question of how to establish international peace and the possible unification of Europe. He was at first an enthusiastic Nazi – he was Sturmbannführer (equivalent to a Major) in the SA. But he distanced himself from the Nazis more and more as he began to accept the view, common among the nobility, that war was contrary to Germany’s interests.

After finishing his studies, in 1935 he went back to Neustrelitz where he joined the 48th Infantry Regiment as a Second Lieutenant. In December 1936 he became a lieutenant.

In Summer 1938 he became a company commander and had a position for two months at the War School at Munich, and in that same year he wrote a contribution for the illustrated book for boys Wir Soldaten (”We Soldiers”). It is impossible to tell which piece was written by him. As he was writing his contribution to it, he was already conspiring against Hitler.

It was still well before the Sudeten Crisis and the invasion of Czechoslovakia that he became involved in the German Resistance. A group of officers led by General Beck was opposed to war, and it was not difficult to foresee Hitler’s intentions. Beck and his followers, Hans Oster and Erwin von Witzleben, therefore planned a coup. The idea was for a storm-party of officers including Hans-Jürgen to march into the Reich Chancery, overcome the resistance of any SS guards they found there, and arrest the Führer. However, the policy of appeasement towards Hitler espoused by the British Prime Minister Chamberlain led the conspirators to conclude that the planned coup no longer had any future.

In August 1939 be became a captain. He kept contact with the resistance, based in the Abwehr under Admiral Canaris. War broke out, and on September 9 he married Cornelia von Kries, née von Schnitzler, a 34-year-old divorcée. Her first husband, Otto von Kries, by whom she had a daughter, would die at Leningrad in 1941. Her mother was a Borsig, a family of industrialists whose locomotive works in Berlin were among the largest enterprises in the country. From September 1939 to May 1940 during the so-called Phoney War, he was based at Saarbrücken in command of a machine-gun company.

When this blissful calm ended, he took part in the offensive in Alsace, but in July the regiment was transferred to Tomaszew in Poland close to Warsaw, nearer to the Soviet frontier, where in spite of his junior rank he took command of a battalion. He was allowed home on leave during this period. When Operation Barbarossa began, his wife was pregnant. Their only son, Hubertus, was born in May 1942.

Hans-Jürgen led his battalion to the gates of Kiev, where he was badly wounded, his right arm rendered useless. He was in the army hospital in Leipzig until December 1942. By this time he was once again actively collaborating with the German Resistance.

After his recovery he joined the Führer Reserve in Berlin and worked at the General War Office. There he got to know other opponents of the regime and won the confidence of Count Stauffenberg, who was an intimate friend of Hans Jürgen’s cousin Albrecht von Blumenthal. The latter had introduced Stauffenberg to the mystical poet Stefan George, from whose circle many of the other conspirators were drawn. Furthermore, Dietrich Bonhoeffer had held his illegal seminary in the late 1930s at Albrecht’s estate at Schlönwitz.

In April 1943 he was promoted to Major.

He was the liaison officer between the Berlin Group and the Stettin High Command, Army District II, and was thus closely involved in the planning of the July 20 Plot of 1944). In his book Geist der Freiheit (1956, page 135), Eberhard Zeller wrote:

Elsewhere Zeller mentions that he worked in the department of Colonel Siegfried Wagner and was therefore in contact with Goerdeler.

He spent the weekend with his family at Kümmernitz in the West Prignitz, but on July 23, 1944 he was arrested by three members of the Gestapo, who appeared in a car and took him away without him being able to say goodbye to his wife, who was thereafter unable to communicate with him. It all took place inside half an hour. What took place between then and his condemnation by the German “People’s Court” (Volksgerichtshof) and immediate execution by hanging at Plötzensee Prison on October 13, 1944 is almost unknown, apart from the slender details mentioned in his last letter to his wife, because the records of the People’s Court were destroyed.

However, Zeller goes on:

In Fabian von Schlabrendorff’s book Offiziere gegen Hitler he is mentioned only in the death-roll.

In his last letter, Hans-Jürgen wrote:

(Excerpt from Hans-Jürgen Count von Blumenthal’s final letter to his wife, October 13, 1944, GKS 132. He was executed the same day.)

Why he signed himself Peter is a mystery. It was possibly an agreed sign to his wife that the letter was either genuine or not genuine. It was, however, one of his son’s Christian names. The children he refers to in his letter are his son, Hubertus Peter, then 3 years old, and his stepdaughter.

Notes

  • Regarding personal names: Graf is a title, translated as Count, not a first or middle name. The female form is Gräfin.

Elizabeth, Electress Palatine and Queen of Bohemia (born Elizabeth of Scotland; 19 August 1596 – 13 February 1662) was the eldest daughter of James VI and I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and Anne of Denmark. She was thus sister to King Charles I and cousin to King Frederick III of Denmark. With the demise of the Stuart dynasty in 1714, her direct descendants, the Hanoverian rulers, succeeded to the British throne.

Birth and early life


Princess Elizabeth Stuart, 1606, by Robert Peake the Elder.

Elizabeth was born at Falkland Palace, Fife. At the time of her birth, her father was still the King of Scots only. She was named in honor of the Queen of England, in an attempt by her father to flatter the old queen, whose kingdom he hoped to inherit. During her early life in Scotland, Elizabeth’s governess was the Countess of Kildare. When Elizabeth was six years old, in 1603, Elizabeth I of England died and James succeeded to the thrones of England and Ireland. When she came to England, she was consigned to the care of Lord Harington, with whom she spent the years of her happy childhood at Combe Abbey in Warwickshire.

Part of the intent of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was to kidnap the nine-year-old Elizabeth and put her onto the throne of England (and, presumably, Scotland) as a Catholic monarch, after assassinating her father and the Protestant English aristocracy.

Among Elizabeth’s suitors was King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, but she was eventually betrothed to the Elector Palatine in 1612.

Marriage


Elizabeth as a widow, 1642

On 14 February 1613, she married Frederick V, then Elector of the Palatinate in Germany, and took up her place in the court at Heidelberg. Frederick was the leader of the association of Protestant princes in the Holy Roman Empire known as the Protestant Union, and Elizabeth was married to him in an effort to increase James’s ties to these princes. Despite this, the two were considered to be genuinely in love, and remained a romantic couple throughout the course of their marriage. Elizabeth’s new husband transformed his seat at Heidelberg, creating an ‘English wing’ for her, a monkey-house, a menagerie - and the beginnings of a new garden in the Italian Renaissance style popular in England at the time. The garden, the Hortus Palatinus was constructed by Elizabeth’s former tutor, Salomon de Caus and was dubbed the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’ by contemporaries.

In 1619, Frederick was offered and accepted the crown of Bohemia. Elizabeth was crowned Queen of Bohemia on 7 November 1619, three days after her husband was crowned King of Bohemia. Frederick’s rule was extremely brief, and thus Elizabeth became known as the “Winter Queen”. Driven into exile, the couple took up residence in The Hague, and Frederick died in 1632. Elizabeth remained in Holland even after her son, Charles I Louis, regained his father’s electorship in 1648. Following the Restoration of the English and Scottish monarchies, she travelled to London to visit her nephew, Charles II, and died while there.

Elizabeth’s youngest daughter, Sophia of Hanover, had in 1658 married Ernest Augustus, the future Elector of Hanover. The Electress Sophia became the nearest Protestant relative to the English, Scottish and Irish crowns (later British crown). Under the English Act of Settlement, the succession was settled on Sophia and her issue, so that all monarchs of Great Britain from George I are descendants of Elizabeth.

Ancestry

Of Elizabeth’s sixteen great-great-grandparents, five were German, four were Scottish, two were English, two were French, two were Danish, and one was Polish, giving her a thoroughly cosmopolitan background which was typical of royals at that time due to constant intermarriage among the European royal families.

Children

  1. Frederick Henry von der Pfalz (1614-1629); drowned
  2. Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine (1617-1680); married Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel, had issue; Marie Luise von Degenfeld, had issue; Elisabeth Hollander von Bernau, had issue
  3. Elisabeth of Bohemia, Princess Palatine (1618-1680)
  4. Rupert, Duke of Cumberland (1619-1682); had two illegitimate children
  5. Maurice (1620-1652)
  6. Louise Marie of the Palatine (18 April 1622 – 11 February 1709)
  7. Ludwig (21 August 1624 – 24 December 1624)
  8. Edward, Count Palatine of Simmern (1625-1663); married Anna Gonzaga, had issue
  9. Henrietta Maria (7 July 1626-18 September 1651); married Prince Sigismund of Siebenbuergen on 16 June 1651
  10. Johann Philip Frederick (26 September 1627 – 15 December 1650); also reported to have been born on 15 September 1629
  11. Charlotte (19 December 1628 – 14 January 1631)
  12. Sophia, Electress of Hanover (14 October 1630 – 8 June 1714); married Ernest Augustus, Elector of Hanover, had issue including King George I of Great Britain
  13. Gustavus Adolphus (14 January 1632-1641)

Legacy

The Elizabeth River in Southeastern Virginia was named in honor of the princess, as was Cape Elizabeth, a peninsula and today a town in the U.S. state of Maine. John Smith explored and mapped New England and gave names to places mainly based on the names used by Native Americans. When Smith presented his map to Charles I, he suggested that the king should feel free to change the “barbarous names” for “English” ones. The king made many such changes, but only four survive today, one of which is Cape Elizabeth.

Fiction

In W. G. Sebald’s novel Vertigo (1990), a woman appears whom the narrator, travelling through Heidelberg by train in 1987, recognizes instantly “without a shadow of a doubt” as Elizabeth when she enters his carriage.

The Winter Queen also plays a seminal role in Neal Stephenson’s The Baroque Cycle by giving birth to many children.

A Polish baroque poet Daniel Naborowski wrote a short poem praising Elizabeth’s eyes. He saw her in 1609, when he visited London on a diplomatic mission.
