Liang Zipeng (1900–1974) is a noted Liuhebafa Master from China who went to Hong Kong in the 1946. He was an instructor in Liuhebafa, T'ai chi, Baguazhang, Yiquan and Xingyi Quan and other arts. Liang Zipeng studied Liuhebafa with a student of Wu Yi Hui named Li Dao Li for six years during the World War. While Wu Yi Hui returned to Shanghai in 1945 and restarted his classes, Liang Zipeng was recommended by Li Dao Li to teach. This was the account of Li's son. Reference: Peter Ziboce's web Although a recognized student of Wu, Liang Zipeng only studied the first half of the Liuhebafa public form called Zhu Ji, and created his own personal second half from knowledge of other styles, thus the difference in his Liuhebafa from the mainstream.} Liang Zipeng was the teacher of Lee Hoi-cheun 李海泉 (father of Bruce Lee), to whom he was said to have instructed Liuhebafa. When Bruce Lee had been practicing Wing Chun for some time already, his father suggested that Bruce should meet his teacher Liang. Lee became very interested in what Liang was teaching and wanted to learn from him. However, when Liang demanded that Lee give up other martial arts and leave behind all what he learned so far, Lee declined. Though he could not learn from Liang, he was allowed to listen to Liang’s lectures on Liuhebafa, which was also known as \"Water Boxing\". Bruce Lee later gave a famous speech where he said: Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friend! This is why in Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do there is no trace of training methods of Liuhebafa, but theoretical concepts and inspirations are clear. Other students were Sun Di, Li Chung, Fong Pak Shing and Moy Lin-shin, and Li Ying An.

He was born in Florence where his father, Cosimo del Bianco, sold cloth to the nobility for use in festivals, tournaments, and theatrical performances. He studied painting under Giovanni Bilivert from 1612 to 1620.

He also apprenticed under Giulio Parigi. In 1620 he visited Germany; on his return he decorated several houses, and painted for churches and theatres. In 1622 he went to Vienna to assist Giovanni de Galliano Pieroni (1586–1654), and later the same year both went on to Prague, where he performed extensive work in fresco, some with help of assistants.

Henry Norman Bethune (March 4, 1890 – November 12, 1939) was a Canadian physician, medical innovator, and noted anti-fascist. Bethune came to international prominence first for his service as a frontline surgeon supporting the democratically elected Republican government during the Spanish Civil War. But it was his service with the Communist Eighth Route Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War that would earn him enduring acclaim. Dr. Bethune effectively brought modern medicine to rural China and often treated sick villagers as much as wounded soldiers. His selfless commitment made a profound impression on the Chinese people, especially CPC's leader, Mao Zedong. The chairman wrote a famous eulogy to him, which was memorized by generations of Chinese people. While Bethune was the man responsible for developing a mobile blood-transfusion service for frontline operations in the Spanish Civil War, he himself died of blood poisoning. A prominent Communist and veteran of the First World War, he wrote that wars were motivated by profits, not principles. Statues in his honor can be found in cities throughout China.

Viktor Ivanovich Patsayev (19 June 1933 – 30 June 1971) was a Soviet cosmonaut who flew on the Soyuz 11 mission and had the unfortunate distinction of being part of the second crew to die during a space flight. On board the space station Salyut 1 he operated the Orion 1 Space Observatory (see Orion 1 and Orion 2 Space Observatories), he became the first man to operate a telescope outside the Earth’s atmosphere. After a normal re-entry, the capsule was opened and the crew was found dead. It was discovered that a valve had opened just prior to leaving orbit that had allowed the capsule's atmosphere to vent away into space, suffocating the crew. One of Patsayev's hands was found to be bruised, and he may have been trying to shut the valve manually at the time he lost consciousness. Patsayev's ashes were inturned in the Kremlin Wall on the Red Square in Moscow. He was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, the Order of Lenin and the title of Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR. The lunar crater Patsaev and the minor planet 1791 Patsayev are named for him.

An Afghan government mission to Berlin noted the problem of leprosy and the German government offered to help with a “leprosy research commission” which was headed by Dr Manfred Oberdörffer. Oberdörffer was invited by the Afghan government and he chose Brandt as an assistant. Brandt's knowledge of Russian, Iranian, Arabic and Islamic culture were considered key skills. Labelled by the British media as \"the crafty butterfly colonel\" they set up camp on the Waziristan border and joined the tribes there. On 15 July 1941 the pair took over a British field station in Waziristan and were attacked by Afghan troops. In the ensuing gun battle, they were both injured and Oberdörffer died of injuries on the way to Kabul while Brandt spent three months in hospital before being repatriated to Germany in November 1941.

Kosten played many tournaments, finishing first or equal first in the following: \n*  1984 Budapest \n*  1985 Andorra International Open \n*  1986 Geneva \n*  1987 Cappelle-la-Grande Open \n*  1989 Hastings Congress 1988/89 \n*  1991 San Benedetto del Tronto \n*  1992 Mandelieu-la-Napoule \n*  1993 16th Festival of Asti \n*  1994 Chanac (repeated in 1995) \n*  1995 Saint-Affrique \n*  2000 Naujac-sur-Mer – L'Étang-Salé \n*  2004 Montpellier – Villeurbanne \n*  2005 Mundolsheim \n*  2006 Cap d'Agde \n*  2007 Clermont-Ferrand - Saint-Dié-des-Vosges \n*  2008 Avoine, Indre-et-Loire - Kilkenny \n*  2010 Wellington College International Perhaps the most striking of these performances was at the Geneva Open tournament of 1986. The event was nine rounds and Kosten won all of his first eight games. This was sufficient to already guarantee him first place ahead of a strong international field. In the final game, Kosten accepted an offer of a draw from his compatriot, Glenn Flear. He agreed after some half an hour´s deliberation, for the position was hopelessly lost for Flear. That acceptance prevented Kosten from achieving a perfect 9/9 score. He lives in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and is now naturalized French and registered on the French Elo list. Kosten was married to the daughter of Hungarian Grandmaster Győző Forintos.

Dirk DeWayne Minniefield (born January 17, 1961) is an American retired professional basketball player. While at Lafayette High School in Lexington, he was named the 1979 Kentucky \"Mr. Basketball\", an honor given to the top high school player in the state of Kentucky. In addition to \"Mr. Basketball\", he was also named a McDonald's and Parade High School All-American. Minniefield played his college ball at the University of Kentucky (UK), where he became a member of the 1,000 point club. In 1983, he was drafted in the second round (33rd overall) by the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. The 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m), 180 lb (82 kg) guard played three seasons in NBA, making stops in Cleveland, Houston, Golden State, and Boston. Minniefield began regularly using marijuana at age 14. Minniefield, who has been sober since the early 1990s, told a group of top high school prospects in 2007 that \"My younger kids have never seen me take a drink. They don't know the daddy the older kids know. They know a totally different guy.\" (Minniefield was a father of three children by the time he graduated from high school, and has two children from his current marriage). His drug problem continued into college. He admitted to having carried a vial of cocaine with him regularly during his senior year at UK, and frequently took hits of the drug before games. Most notably, he admitted in 2007 that he and several teammates had gone to a park in Knoxville, Tennessee the night before Kentucky's showdown with Louisville in the 1983 NCAA Mideast Regional final and smoked marijuana. He also said that he smoked more marijuana after returning to his hotel room. As fate would have it, he had the ball late in the game, with UK clinging to a narrow lead. He went into the lane and threw up a tentative shot that UofL center Charles Jones blocked. The Cardinals went on to force overtime and then dominated the extra period, winning 80-68. He would later say about the incident, Minniefield's drug use eventually contributed to the early end of his NBA career. He returned to Lexington, but wound up serving a year in jail after writing bad checks and violating probation on those charges. His first wife divorced him and he left Lexington \"penniless\". He found his way to the John Lucas Drug Abuse Center in Houston; Minniefield would say of Lucas, \"I finally found that person who talked my language. He could see past the outside facade I learned to put up.\" For his part, Lucas said, \"I call him one of my children. He's delightful. He's helped me as much as I helped him.\" After treatment, Minniefield worked as transportation manager—according to him, \"A better word is van driver\"—for the San Antonio Spurs while Lucas was coach. He would go on to be a head coach/general manager in the United States Basketball League (USBL) for the Miami Tropics (a team that Lucas owned) and serve as the Spurs' strength and conditioning coach. When Lucas left for the Philadelphia 76ers, Minniefield took a job as a drug counselor with the NBA to enable him to stay in Houston.

John Harvey was a Cornishman whose career started as a blacksmith and engineer at Carnhell Green near Hayle, in west Cornwall. In 1779 he established a foundry and engineering works at Hayle called Harvey & Co. By 1800 the company employed more than 50 people and continued to grow as Harvey worked with many of the great Cornish engineers and entrepreneurs of the day. These included Richard Trevithick, William West, and, more importantly, Arthur Woolf. In 1797, Harvey's daughter, Jane, married Richard Trevithick. Harvey & Co. built up a reputation for world class stationary beam engines designed to pump water out of the deep Cornish tin and copper mines. The Cornish beam engine became world-famous and was exported overseas, and remains the largest type of beam engine ever constructed; the largest of all, with a 144-inch-diameter (3,700 mm) cylinder which powered eight separate beams, was used to drain the Haarlemmermeer in the Netherlands—it is preserved in the Museum De Cruquius. Harvey's also produced a range of products, from hand tools to ocean-going ships including the USS Cornubia. The company was expanded by John's son, Henry, in collaboration with Arthur Woolf, who was the chief engineer. At that time it was the main mining engine foundry in the world, with an international market served through their own port at Foundry Town, Hayle. Harvey's of Hayle reached their peak in the early- to mid-19th century and then, along with the Cornish mining industry in general, suffered a gradual and slow decline. Harvey's acquired the Cornish Copper Company in 1875. The engineering works and foundry were closed in 1903, although the company continued to trade as a general and builders merchant, eventually merging with UBM to become Harvey-UBM in 1969.
