Passage 1:The Adventures of FridolinThe Adventures of Fridolin (German: Die seltsamen Abenteuer des Herrn Fridolin B.) is an East German film. It was released in 1948.External linksThe Adventures of Fridolin at IMDbPassage 2:The Adventures of Smilin' Jack (serial)The Adventures of Smilin' Jack (1943) is a Universal movie serial based on the popular comic strip The Adventures of Smilin' Jack by Zack Mosley. It was directed by Lewis D. Collins and Ray Taylor.PlotIn 1941, an American aviator, 'Smilin' Jack' Martin wishes to resign as an advisor to the Nationalist Chinese Army in order to return to the United States to enlist as an aviator in America's military buildup prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.  He is delayed when the Chinese discover that the neutral Tibetan like Mandon "Province" contains a secret road from India to China crucial for the Allied war effort.  Determined to obtain the secret for themselves, or equally determined to have the secret destroyed is the Japanese espionage organisation "The Black Samurai" and the German intelligence agent Fräulein von Teufel who masquerades as an American newspaper reporter.CastProductionThe serial was based on the comic strip by Zack Moseley but it was not in the spirit of the strip as would normally be expected from a Universal production. Very little of the original comic strip was used and a new character, Tommy Thompson, was created by Universal. The similarity to Tommy Tomkins, of the Tailspin Tommy stories, may imply a crossover of sorts. Cline suggests that it was "a quick attempt to get a story on screen about a topical subject, and could have had almost any flyer with any name as a hero.”Chapter titlesThe High Road to DoomThe Rising Sun StrikesAttacked by BombersKnives of VengeanceA Watery GraveEscape by ClipperFifteen Fathoms BelowTreachery at SeaThe Bridge of PerilBlackout in the IslandsHeld for TreasonThe Torture Fire TestSinking the Rising SunSource:QuotesUnited Nations means united friends-Capt. WingPassage 3:Terminator 3: Rise of the MachinesTerminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a 2003 American science fiction action film directed by Jonathan Mostow. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl, Claire Danes, and Kristanna Loken, it is the third installment in the Terminator franchise and a sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). In its plot, the malevolent artificial intelligence Skynet sends a T-X (Loken)—a highly advanced Terminator—back in time to ensure the rise of machines by killing top members of the future human resistance as John Connor's (Stahl) location is unknown. The resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-850 (Schwarzenegger) to protect John and his future wife, Kate (Danes).While Terminator creator James Cameron was interested in directing the third film, he ultimately had no involvement with Terminator 3. Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar, who had produced Terminator 2: Judgment Day through their company Carolco Pictures, obtained the rights for the franchise through both Carolco's liquidation auction and negotiations with producer Gale Ann Hurd. In 1999, Tedi Sarafian was hired to write the first draft of the script. Mostow joined the project as director in 2001, and he brought on John Brancato and Michael Ferris to rewrite Sarafian's script. The $187 million budget included a $5 million salary for Mostow and a record $30 million salary for Schwarzenegger. Filming took place in California from April to September 2002. Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Stan Winston created the special effects, as they did for the previous film.Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines premiered in Westwood, Los Angeles, on June 30, 2003, and was released on July 2, 2003, by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States and by Columbia TriStar Film Distributors International in worldwide territories. It received generally positive reviews and earned $433.4 million worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2003. A sequel, Terminator Salvation, was released in 2009.PlotTen years after destroying Cyberdyne Systems, John Connor has been living as a nomad following the death of his mother, Sarah, to hide from the malevolent artificial intelligence Skynet, despite a war between humans and machines not happening in 1997, as foretold. Unable to locate John in the past, Skynet sends the T-X, an advanced prototype Terminator made of virtually impervious shapeshifting liquid metal covering a metal endoskeleton, back in time to John's present in Los Angeles, to instead kill his future allies in the human resistance. The human resistance sends back a reprogrammed T-850 Terminator, a less-advanced model covered in living flesh, to protect John and his future wife Kate Brewster.After killing other targets, the T-X locates the pair at an animal hospital where Kate works. John becomes the T-X's primary target, but the Terminator helps him and Kate escape, taking them to a

He was a descendant of Mirza Hadi Baig and thegreat-great grandfather of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.Life and reignDuring Faiz Muhammad's life,Qadian had developed close relations with Delhi. Faiz Muhammad was successful in suppressing theanarchy that prevailed in the Punjab during this period as a result of which, in 1716, the Mughal EmperorFarrukhsiyar conferred upon him the rank of Haft Hazārī which authorised him to keep regular force of7,000 soldiers. He was also conferred the title Azādud Daulah (Strong Arm of the Government) by theEmperor.Passage 3:Muhammad I TaparAbu Shuja Ghiyath al-Dunya wa'l-Din Muhammad ibn Malik-Shah(Persian:          , romanized: AbūShujā Ghiyāth al-Dunyā wa ’l-Dīn Muammad ibn Malik-Šāh; 1082 – 1118), better known asMuhammad I Tapar (  ), was the sultan of the Seljuk Empire from 1105 to 1118.He was a son of Malik-Shah I (r. 1072–1092) and Taj al-Din Khatun Safariya. In Turkish, Tapar means"he who obtains, finds".ReignMuhammad was born in January 1082. He succeeded his nephew, MalikShah II, as Seljuq Sultan in Baghdad, and thus was theoretically the head of the dynasty, although hisbrother Ahmad Sanjar in Khorasan held more practical power. Muhammad I probably allied himself withRadwan of Aleppo in the battle of the Khabur River against Kilij Arslan I, the sultan of Rüm, in 1107, inwhich the latter was defeated and killed. Following the internecine conflict with his half brother,Barkiyaruq, he was given the title of malik and the provinces of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Dissatisfied bythis he revolted again, but had to flee back to Armenia. By 1104, Barkiyaruq, ill and tired of war, agreedto divide the sultanate with Muhammad. Muhammad became sole sultan following the death ofBarkiyaruq in 1105.In 1106, Muhammad conquered the Ismaili fortress of Shahdiz, and ordered theBavandid ruler Shahriyar IV to participate in his campaign against the Ismailis. Shahriyar, greatlyangered by the message Muhammad sent him, refused to aid him against the Ismailis. Shortly after,Muhammad sent an army headed by Amir Chavli, who tried to capture Sari but was unexpectedlydefeated by an army under Shahriyar and his son Qarin III. Muhammad then sent a letter, whichrequested Shahriyar to send one of his sons to the Seljuq court in Isfahan. He sent his son Ali I, whoimpressed Muhammad so much that he offered him his daughter in marriage, but Ali refused and told himto grant the honor to his brother and heir of the Bavand dynasty, Qarin III. Qarin III then went to theIsfahan court and married her.In 1106/1107, Ahmad ibn Nizam al-Mulk, the son of the famous vizierNizam al-Mulk, went to the court of Muhammad I to file a complaint against the rais (head) of Hamadan.When Ahmad arrived to the court, Muhammad I appointed him as his vizier, replacing Sa'd al-MulkAbu'l-Mahasen Abi, who had been recently executed on suspicion of heresy. The appointment was duemainly to the reputation of Ahmad's father. He was then given various titles which his father held(Qewam al-din, Sadr al-Islam and Nizam al-Mulk).Muhammad I, along with his vizier Ahmad, latercampaigned in Iraq, where they defeated and killed the Mazyadid ruler Sayf al-dawla Sadaqa ibn Mansur,who bore the title "king of the Arabs". In 1109, Muhammad I sent Ahmad and Chavli Saqavu to capturethe Ismaili fortresses of Alamut and Ostavand, but they failed to achieve any decisive result andwithdrew. Ahmad was shortly replaced by Khatir al-Mulk Abu Mansur Maybudi as vizier of the SejluqEmpire. According to Ali ibn al-Athir (a historian who lived about a hundred years later), Ahmad thenretired to a private life in Baghdad, but, according to the contemporary biographer, Anushirvan ibnKhalid, Muhammad I had Ahmad imprisoned for ten years.Muhammad I died in 1118 and was succeededby Mahmud II, although after Muhammad I's death Sanjar was clearly the chief power in the Seljuqrealms.FamilyOne of Muhammad's wives was Gawhar Khatun, the daughter of Isma'il, son of Yaquti.

Passage 1:Wayne BridgeWayne Michael Bridge (born 5 August 1980) is an English former professionalfootballer who played as a left back.A graduate of the Southampton academy, he made his debut in 1998and would go on to make over 150 league appearances in Premier League before going on to have anextensive career with Chelsea where he won all three domestic competitions over the course of hissix-year stay at Stamford Bridge. He also spent time on loan with Fulham before later in 2009 joiningManchester City, where he remained for four seasons, although his final two were spent on loan withWest Ham and Sunderland as well as a spell in the EFL Championship with Brighton & Hove Albion. Heretired in 2014 following a season with ReadingBridge made 36 appearances for the England nationalteam between 2002 and 2009, being selected for two FIFA World Cup squads and UEFA Euro 2004.ClubcareerSouthamptonBridge was born in Southampton, but moved to Olivers Battery, Winchester, at anearly age. He attended Oliver's Battery Primary and Kings' School, Winchester. When playing for OliversBattery he was spotted by Micky Adams, who recommended him to Southampton, who signed him as atrainee in July 1996. He made his reserve team debut as a centre-forward against Portsmouth on 13August 1997 and turned professional in January 1998.Bridge made his first-team debut on 16 August1998 (the opening day of the 1998–99 season) coming on as a replacement for John Beresford, who hadbadly damaged his knee. Bridge made his first senior start in the next match on 22 August in a 5–0defeat away to Charlton Athletic. As Southampton struggled to pick up points (with only two points afterthe first nine games), Bridge played (on the left wing) in most of Saints' league games until earlyDecember before losing his place to Hassan Kachloul. For the remainder of the 1998–99 Premier Leagueseason, Bridge was only used occasionally as Saints narrowly avoided relegation. He completed his firstseason as a first-team player with 15 starts and eight substitute appearances.The following seasoncarried on in a similar vein with Bridge making occasional appearances on the left wing until injuries toFrancis Benali and the poor form of his intended replacement Patrick Colleter gave Bridge the opportunityto play at left-back, where he soon became a fixture in the Saints starting line-up. In the 1999–2000season, he made 15 starts (plus four substitute appearances) scoring his first senior goal, with a powerfulfree-kick over the wall, in the final match of the season on 14 May 2000 against Wimbledon, as a result ofwhich Wimbledon were relegated to Division 1 after 14 years in the top flight.In the 2000–01 season,Bridge was an ever-present at left-back as Saints finished their final season at The Dell in tenth place inthe Premier League table. Bridge was rewarded by being voted the Southampton Player of the Year forthe 2000–01 season.Bridge was "fast, determined, skilful and full of youthful promise" and "his forwardruns became an exciting sight at The Dell and then at St Mary's." He was an ever-present yet again in thefollowing season as Saints again finished their first season at their new stadium comfortably inmid-table.Bridge's temperament and consistency, together with a high level of fitness, enabled him tocontinue to play every match until 18 January 2003 when he limped off with an injury in a 1–0 defeat toLiverpool. This brought to an end a run of 113 consecutive appearances, a Premier League record for anoutfield player (since surpassed by Frank Lampard, Jr.).

The emperor named Henry count palatine of the Rhine and during the emperor's tripto Italy tasked Henry to hold interim judicial councils. Henry married Herman's widow, Adelaide ofWeimar-Orlamünde (d. 1100). From this marriage, Henry may have taken control over some of herholdings along the Moselle.

However, if that is the case, his maternal uncle was Pope Stephen IX.Until 1064, young Hermann was under the guardianship of Anno II, Archbishop of Cologne, whosignificantly reduced Hermann's territorial power.In 1080 he married Adelaide of Weimar-Orlamünde (†1100), widow of Adalbert II, Count of Ballenstedt.

Passage 1:Tales from the QuadeaD ZoneTales from the QuadeaD Zone (also stylized TALES From The QuadeaD Zone) is a 1987 American anthology blaxploitation horror film written, directed, and produced by Chester Novell Turner. The film was originally released straight to VHS. VHS copies of the film have become collector's items due to their difficulty to locate and extremely limited quantities, with one copy selling for $2000 on eBay.Turner has expressed interest in creating a sequel and began writing the film's script in 2013. Tales from the QuadeaD Zone was the only film produced by Erry Vision Film Co.Since its release Tales From the QuadeaD Zone has received several public screenings, one of which was a 2016 symposium at the Yale University Library, Terror on Tape.It was given a DVD release in 2013 through Massacre Video.SynopsisThe film is composed of two stories, plus a third wraparound story; "Food For ?" and "The Brothers", both of which are narrated by a mother (Shirley L. Jones) reading the tales to her deceased son Bobby. "Food For ?" centers upon a family that is so poor that they are unable to afford food for every family member. Their only solution is to get rid of some of their family in order to increase the amount of dinner for everyone else. "The Brother" follows two brothers who have hated each other their entire lives and have each made cruel jokes and attacks against the other. When one of them dies, the living brother tries to have the last laugh by stealing his brother's corpse and making him look like a circus clown. Little does he know that his brother's spirit has returned to his body, unhappy with his brother's plans.CastProductionWork on Tales from the QuadeaD Zone began three years after Turner completed his first film, Black Devil Doll From Hell, which was initially intended to be one of the anthology's stories. Two of the film's stories, "Food For ?" and the wraparound story "Unseen Vision", were shot in Alabama while " The Brothers" was shot in Chicago.ReleaseAs Turner released the film on his own, along with star Shirley L. Jones, Tales from the QuadeaD Zone was released in an extremely limited amount, estimated to be at or less than 100 copies. The copies were only circulated in the Chicago area due to the cost of gas and travel required by Turner and Jones and it is believed that many of these copies have been lost.Over time the video achieved cult status and VHS copies became much sought after collector's items. In 2011 one copy of the film sold for $665 on the online auction site eBay, a feat that was covered in the 2013 documentary Adjust Your Tracking. The winning bidder later sold his copy of the movie for twice the amount paid.The price reached an all time high when a copy was sold on eBay for $2000.In 2013, Massacre Video released the movie as part of a DVD box set along with Black Devil Doll From Hell. The box set features commentary from Turner and Jackson, a documentary about both films, and the director's cut of Black Devil Doll From Hell, which upon release had been heavily edited from Turner's original version.ReceptionHorronews.net commented that although the video could be seen as a "complete and utter train wreck", the film was made during a point in time when amateur filmmaking would be cost prohibitive for the average person and the creation of Tales from the QuadeaD Zone was evidence of Turner's "heart and a dream to become a film maker". Bloody Disgusting also reviewed the movie, stating that it was "a no-budget, SOV labor of mad love". DVD Talk reviewed the movie as part of Massacre Video's box set and gave it a poor review, which they felt was weaker than Black Devil Doll From Hell.Passage 2:Hiroshi IshikawaHiroshi Ishikawa ( , born May 18, 1963) is a Japanese film director and writer from Ōdate.

In the first innings of his firstmatch, against Lancashire at The Oval, he took five wickets for 81 runs.In his first full season, 1948, hewas Surrey's leading wicket-taker and in the last home game of the season he was awarded his countycap – he celebrated by taking eight Northamptonshire wickets for 46 runs at The Oval, six of themcoming in the space of 6.3 overs for seven runs. This would remain the best bowling performance of hisfirst-class career, not surpassed, but he did equal it seven years later. In the following game, the lastaway match of the season, he took 10 Hampshire wickets for 150 runs in the match at Bournemouth. Inthe 1948 season as a whole, he took 91 wickets at an average of 28.07. As a tail-end left-handedbatsman, he managed just 93 runs in the season at an average of 4.22.The emergence of Tony Lock as aslow left-arm bowler in 1949 brought a stuttering end of McMahon's Surrey career. Though he played in12 first-class matches in the 1949 season, McMahon took only 19 wickets; a similar number of matches in1950 brought 34 wickets. In 1951, he played just seven times and in 1952 only three times. In 1953,Lock split the first finger of his left hand, and played in only 11 of Surrey's County Championshipmatches; McMahon played as his deputy in 14 Championship matches, though a measure of theircomparative merits was that Lock's 11 games produced 67 wickets at 12.38 runs apiece, whileMcMahon's 14 games brought him 45 wickets at the, for him, low average of 21.53. At the end of the1953 season, McMahon was allowed to leave Surrey to join Somerset, then languishing at the foot of theCounty Championship and recruiting widely from other counties and other countries.SomersetcricketerSomerset's slow bowling in 1954 was in the hands of leg-spinner Johnny Lawrence, with supportfrom the off-spin of Jim Hilton while promising off-spinner Brian Langford was on national service.McMahon filled a vacancy for a left-arm orthodox spinner that had been there since the retirement ofHorace Hazell at the end of the 1952 season; Hazell's apparent successor, Roy Smith, had failed torealise his promise as a bowler in 1953, though his batting had advanced significantly.McMahon instantlybecame a first-team regular and played in almost every match during his four years with the county, notmissing a single Championship game until he was controversially dropped from the side in August 1957,after which he did not play in the Championship again.In the 1954 season, McMahon, alongside fellownewcomer Hilton, was something of a disappointment, according to Wisden: "The new spin bowlers,McMahon and Hilton, did not attain to the best standards of their craft in a wet summer, yet, like the restof the attack, they would have fared better with reasonable support in the field and from their ownbatsmen," it said. McMahon took 85 wickets at an average of 27.47 (Hilton took only 42 at a higheraverage). His best match was against Essex at Weston-super-Mare where he took six for 96 in the firstinnings and five for 45 in the second to finish with match figures of 11 for 141, which were the best of hiscareer. He was awarded his county cap in the 1954 season, but Somerset remained at the bottom of thetable.The figures for the 1955 were similar: McMahon this time took 75 wickets at 28.77 apiece. Therewas a small improvement in his batting and the arrival of Bryan Lobb elevated McMahon to No 10 in the

He moved to Slovakia in 1939. In 1940, the Slovak Jews wereforced to form the Ústredňa Židov (ÚŽ), a Judenrat, to implement Nazi orders. Most of the members ofthe ÚŽ had been prominent in Jewish public life before the Holocaust, and worked on public relief for Jewswho had been dispossessed by anti-Jewish measures. However, the ÚŽ's reputation was harmed by theJews within it who informed or collaborated, of whom Hochberg was the most notorious, according toYIVO (Institute for Jewish Research). In early 1941, the first head of the ÚŽ was deposed and arrestedfor sabotaging a census of Jews in eastern Slovakia with an aim to remove them to the west of thecountry. His replacement was an ineffectual schoolteacher named Arpad Sebestyen, who took a positionof complete collaboration with the Germans. Hochberg was appointed to lead the "Department for SpecialAffairs",  which was created to ensure the prompt implementation of Dieter Wisliceny's orders; hepromptly organized the census and removal, tarnishing the ÚŽ's reputation in the Jewish community. Dueto Sebestyen's ineffectuality, Hochberg's department came to dominate the operations of the ÚŽ.In 1942,Hochberg's department worked on categorizing Jews for deportation, but it did not actually draw up thelists. About 57,000 Jews, two-thirds of the population, were deported that year; only a few hundredsurvived. Later, Hochberg played an important role in negotiations between the Bratislava WorkingGroup, the resistance group within the ÚŽ, and Wisliceny. Hochberg, who made regular visits toWisliceny's office, was the only feasible option because contact with Wisliceny had to be doneclandestinely. The Working Group employed him as an intermediary despite its intense dislike anddistrust of Hochberg, its fear that associating with him would harm their reputations, and its belief that hewas unreliable.In November 1942, as the Working Group began to negotiate the Europa Plan withWisliceny in an effort to save all European Jews from deportation and death, Hochberg was arrested forbribery and corruption. According to the Slovak police records, Hochberg had an illegal account in whichlarge bribes were deposited in return for the cessation of transports. Andrej Steiner, a member of theWorking Group, distrusted Hochberg and had provided the Slovak police with evidence against him.However, his colleague Michael Dov Weissmandl advocated that the Working Group try to get Hochbergreleased; Weissmandl believed that he was useful and was concerned that he would reveal the

Passage 1:Mona Hopton BellMona Hopton Bell (1867–1940) was a British artist, best known for her portraits of civic figures.She was the grandmother of the painter Jean H. Bell.Passage 2:Hubba bint HulailHubba bint Hulail (Arabic:   ) was the grandmother of Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf, thus the great-great-great-grandmother of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.BiographyHubbah was the daughter of Hulail ibn Hubshiyyah ibn Salul ibn Ka’b ibn Amr al-Khuza’i of Banu Khuza'a who was the trustee and guardian of the Ka‘bah (Arabic: , 'Cube'). She married Qusai ibn Kilab and after her father died, the keys of the Kaaba were committed to her. Qusai, according to Hulail's will, had the trusteeship of the Kaaba after him.Hubbah never gave up ambitious hopes for the line of her favourite son Abd Manaf. Her two favourite grandsons were the twin sons Amr and Abd Shams, of ‘Ātikah bint Murrah. Hubbah hoped that the opportunities missed by Abd Manaf would be made up for in these grandsons, especially Amr, who seemed much more suitable for the role than any of the sons of Abd al-Dar. He was dear to the ‘ayn (Arabic: , eye) of his grandmother Hubbah.FamilyQusai ibn Kilab had four sons by Hubbah: Abd-al-Dar ibn Qusai dedicated to his house, Abdu’l Qusayy dedicated to himself, Abd-al-Uzza ibn Qusai to his goddess (Al-‘Uzzá) and Abd Manaf ibn Qusai to the idol revered by Hubbah. They also had two daughters, Takhmur and Barrah. Abd Manaf's real name was 'Mughirah', and he also had the nickname 'al-Qamar' (the Moon) because he was handsome.Hubbah was related to Muhammad in more than one way. Firstly, she was the great-great-grandmother of his father Abdullah. She was also the great-grandmother of Umm Habib and Abdul-Uzza, respectively the maternal grandmother and grandfather of Muhammad's mother Aminah.Family tree* indicates that the marriage order is disputedNote that direct lineage is marked in bold.See alsoFamily tree of MuhammadList of notable HijazisPassage 3:TjuyuThuya (sometimes transliterated as Touiyou, Thuiu, Tuya, Tjuyu or Thuyu) was an Egyptian noblewoman and the mother of queen Tiye, and the wife of Yuya. She is the grandmother of Akhenaten, and great grandmother of Tutankhamun.BiographyThuya is believed to be a descendant of Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, and she held many official roles in the interwoven religion and government of ancient Egypt. She was involved in many religious cults; her titles included 'Singer of Hathor' and 'Chief of the Entertainers' of both Amun and Min. She also held the influential offices of Superintendent of the Harem of the god Min of Akhmin and of Amun of Thebes.  She married Yuya, a powerful ancient Egyptian courtier of the Eighteenth Dynasty.  She is believed to have died in around 1375 BC in her early to mid 50s.ChildrenYuya and Thuya had a daughter named Tiye, who became the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The great royal wife was the highest Egyptian religious position, serving alongside of the pharaoh in official ceremonies and rituals.Yuya and Thuya also had a son named Anen, who carried the titles Chancellor of Lower Egypt, Second Prophet of Amun, sm-priest of Heliopolis and Divine Father.They also may have been the parents of Ay, an Egyptian courtier active during the reign of pharaoh Akhenaten who became pharaoh after the death of Tutankhamun. However, there is no conclusive evidence regarding the kinship of Yuya and Ay, although certainly, both men came from Akhmim.TombThuya was interred in tomb KV46 in the Valley of the Kings, together with her husband Yuya, where their largely intact burial was found in 1905. It was the best-preserved tomb discovered in the Valley before that of Tutankhamun, Thuya's great-grandson. The tomb was discovered by a team of workmen led by archaeologist James Quibell on behalf of the American millionaire Theodore M. Davis. Though the tomb had been robbed in antiquity, much of its contents were still present, including beds, boxes, chests, a chariot, and the sarcophagi, coffins, and mummies of the two occupants.Thuya's large gilded and black-painted wooden sarcophagus was placed against the south wall of the tomb. It is rectangular, with a lid shaped like the sloping roof of the per-wer shrine of Upper Egypt, and sits on ornamental sledge runners, their non-functionality underscored by the three battens attached below them. Ancient robbers had partially dismantled it to access her coffins and mummy, placing its lid and one long side on a bed on the other side of the tomb; the other long side had been leaned against the south wall. Her outer gilded anthropoid coffin had been removed, its lid placed atop the beds, and the trough put into the far corner of the tomb; the lid of her second (innermost) coffin, also gilded, had been removed and placed to one side although the


Passage 1:Donnie ElbertDonnie Elbert (May 25, 1936 – January 26, 1989) was an American soul singerand songwriter, who had a prolific career from the mid-1950s to the late 1970s. His U.S. hits included"Where Did Our Love Go?" (1971), and his reputation as a Northern soul artist in the UK was secured by"A Little Piece of Leather", a performance highlighting his powerful falsetto voice.CareerElbert was born inNew Orleans, Louisiana, but when aged three his family relocated to Buffalo, New York. He learned toplay guitar and piano as a child, and in 1955 formed a doo-wop group, the Vibraharps, with friend DannyCannon. Elbert acted as the group's guitarist, songwriter, arranger, and background vocalist, making hisrecording debut on their single "Walk Beside Me". He left the group in 1957 for a solo career, andrecorded a demonstration record that earned him a recording contract with the King label's DeLuxesubsidiary. His solo debut "What Can I Do?" reached #12 in the U.S. R&B chart, and he followed it upwith the less successful "Believe It or Not" and "Have I Sinned?", which became a regional hit inPittsburgh.He continued to release singles on DeLuxe, but with little commercial success, and also playedNew York's Apollo Theater and toured the Chitlin' Circuit of African-American owned nightclubs. Aftercompleting an album, The Sensational Donnie Elbert Sings, he left DeLuxe in 1959, joining first Red TopRecords, where in 1960 he recorded "Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)", and then Vee-JayRecords, where he had another regional hit with "Will You Ever Be Mine?", which reportedly sold 250,000copies in the Philadelphia area but failed to take off nationwide. His career was also interrupted by a spellin the US Army, from which he was discharged in 1961. He then recorded singles for several labels,including Parkway, Cub and Checker, but with little success. However, although the 1965 Gateway labelrelease of "A Little Piece of Leather" failed to chart in the US, the record became a #27 pop hit whenreleased on the London label in the UK several years later in 1972, and remains a Northern soulfavorite.Elbert relocated to the UK in 1966, where he married. There, he recorded "In Between TheHeartaches" for the Polydor label in 1968, a cover version of the Supremes' hit "Where Did Our Love Go?"and an album of Otis Redding cover versions, Tribute To A King. His 1969 Deram release "Without You"had a rocksteady rhythm, and went to the top of the Jamaican charts.He returned to the US the sameyear and had his first US chart hit in over a decade with the Rare Bullet release, "Can't Get Over LosingYou", which reached #26 on the Billboard R&B chart. The track and its b-side, "Got To Get MyselfTogether", both written by Elbert, were released several times on different labels in subsequent years.After the success of that record, Elbert moved labels for a re-make of the Supremes' 1964 hit, "WhereDid Our Love Go?" on All Platinum. It became his biggest hit, reaching #15 on the Billboard pop chart, #6on the R&B chart, and (in 1972) #8 in the UK. Its follow-up, "Sweet Baby" reached #30 on the R&B chartin early 1972.Elbert then signed with Avco-Embassy, where he entered the recording studio with thesuccessful production team of Hugo & Luigi. His cover of the Four Tops' "I Can't Help Myself" reached #14on the Billboard R&B chart, but climbed as high as #2 on the alternative Cashbox R&B chart. Elbertbaulked at the label's insistence that he record material associated with Motown and departed with only afew tracks left to record for an album. Even so, the album was released after Avco sold it on to a budgetlabel, Trip.He returned to All Platinum and had a run of minor R&B hits, but left after a disagreement overthe claimed authorship of Shirley & Company's R&B chart-topper "Shame Shame Shame", which wascredited to label owner Sylvia Robinson. Elbert was also involved in a copyright wrangle over DarrellBanks' major R&B and pop hit in 1966, "Open The Door To Your Heart". He had originally written the songas "Baby Walk Right In" (still its alternative legal title) and given it to Banks, but received no writingcredit on the original record. Eventually, the matter was resolved by BMI with a disgruntled Elbertawarded joint authorship with Banks. "Open The Door" has since been given award-winning status by BMIand is one of over 100 songs written or co-written by Elbert.For 1975's "You Keep Me Crying (With YourLying)", Elbert formed his own label and "I Got to Get Myself Together", appeared on an imprint bearinghis surname, but it was among his final recordings.By the mid-1980s, Elbert had retired from performingand became director of A&R for Polygram's Canadian division. He suffered a massive stroke and died in1989, at the age of 52.DiscographyChart singlesAlbumsThe Sensational Donnie Elbert Sings (King,
