| | | | 1872 births: Encyclopedia II - Don Lorenzo Perosi - Biography Despite many sources who erroneously give December 20th as Perosi's birthdate (include Grove), Mario Rinaldi, in the definitive biography on the composer (Lorenzo Perosi, Rome: Edizioni de Santis, 1967), gives the correct date of December 21st and on page 17 explains why that date is correct.
Perosi hailed from an extremely musical and religious family. For nearly 200 years before him, all of Lorenzo's ancestors were all organists. His grandfather, Dionisio Perosi, was organist in Mede Lomellina. Dionisio was succeded in that p ...

| | | | 1872 births: Encyclopedia II - Roger John Brownlow Keyes 1st Baron Keyes - The Boxer Rebellion: the Capture of the Taku Flotilla Keyes, though a junior officer, began to show once again the foresight and leadership which so characterized his career. He determined that the capture of the Taku forts and the seizure of the Chinese destroyers was the key to the relief of Tientsin and Peking. With another junior officer, Commander Christopher Craddock, he made a land reconnaissance of the forts on June 13 to discover the best line of attack.
On June 15th, Keyes was sent by Admiral James Bruce, acting commander, to Tientsin to find out the state of defences and what ...

Bertrand Russell - Analytic philosophy.
Russell is generally recognised as one of the founders of analytic philosophy, indeed, even of its several branches. At the beginning of the 20th century, alongside G. E. Moore, Russell was largely responsible for the British "revolt against Idealism", a philosophy greatly influenced by Georg Hegel and his British apostle, F. H. Bradley. This revolt was echoed 30 years later in Vienna by the logical positivists' "revolt against metaphysics". Russell was particularly appalle ...

Led by Adrien de Gerlache, their ship the Belgica became the first to winter in Antarctica. Also on board was an American doctor, Frederick Cook.

His tenure was from July 17, 1940, to October 27, 1941. He found this a frustrating job, as he was dependent on other branches and units of the armed forces for troops, equipment, transport, air cover and information. These commands were naturally not wishing to divert resources to something new and untried. Not the best use of an old fire eater.
However Keyes laid the found ...
