ELDYK/ ELLINIKI DYNAMH KYPROU[edit]

EL.DY.K (ELliniki DYnami Kyprou) is the code name for the greek military regiment that is stationed in the Repuplic of Cyprus as a result of the zurich-london treaties. A similar force was formed by the Turks and was sent to Cyprus because at that time the newly formed Republic didn't have any direct military protection.ELDYK was then stationed at a military camp near the village of Gerollakos. The formation of the National Guard didn't have any affect on ELDYK because its soldiers and officers were only greek citizens.In 15 July 1974, units of the National Guard led by officers loyal to the greek military regime overthrew the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Archbishop Macarios, who escaped the attack against him by miracle and went to London. This caused the Turkish reaction and accusations that the greek cypriots were preparing to unite with Greece in one state, the famous "Enosis".To protect the turkish cypriots, Turkey prepared an invasion that started at the morning of 20 July 1974.Infantry landed near the city of Kyrenia but the resistance of minor national guard forces made the first two days very difficult. In the night of 20/21 July 1974, ELDYK was sent, by the greek commanders in Greece and Cyprus, against Kioneli, a village that was the base of the Turkish Force of Cyprus and many armed turkish cypriots. Without any help from artillery and other heavy weaponry, it had some successful progress but couldn't advance to the final target.It withdrew to its camp with minimal losses. After the first peace treaty and the seize of fire, the Turks continued to send troops and heavy weaponry even though the dictatorship in Greece had fallen in the meantime.In 14 August 1974, ATTILA 2 started and the Turkish forces launched a big offensive against Nicosia and the greek cypriot lines. The resistance lines broke and the Turks attacked the airport of Nicosia but there they faced heavy fire coming from greek commandos, that had arrived from greece during the first hostilities, and the men of ELDYK. Turks withdrew and the airport was given to UN. In 14 August 1974,Turkish heavy infantry force followed by M48 tanks came close to the military camp of ELDYK in Gerollakos. At that time the regiment of ELDYK was resisting the turkish invasion in other sectors of Nicosia and a minimum force was left to guard the camp, around 40-50 men armed only with their rifles and grenades. Turks attacked immediately but their casualties were severe.Three attacks were useless so they waited for the next day. The greek morale was high due to the leadership of Captain Sotiris Stayrianakos who stood up there. Turks launched 2 attacks the next day suffering great losses but the time was up for the Greek defenders. Without ammunition and any coverage from other units, 33 soldiers led by their captain attacked the Turks and were killed by them. Rumour says that the Turks blew up everything in the camp, even the wounded ones, because of the fear of further casualties. Everyone of the defenders is either missing or killed in action. "Sotiris Stayrianakos" military camp is the center of the ELDYK regiment that is still positioned near Nicosia.

Joint Reciever & Paymaster General of the Forces , June 1690-98; after that date the office of sole Paymaster Gen was united to that of Vice Treasurer.

Distinguished himself in the battle of the Boyne, 1 July 1690, (The handkerchief with which he staunched a wound there recieved by King William, was (1888) at Casiobury Park, Herts, the seat of the Earl of Essex), and at Aughrim, 12 July 1691;

One of the Lords justices of Ireland Sept1690-92. On 7 April 1692, he was cr. BARON CONINGSBY OF CLANBRAZIL, Co Armagh.

Vice Treasurer 1692-1710; High Steward of Hereford, 1695 till his death Cutos Rot. and Lord Lieut of cos. Hereford and Radnor, 1714-21

CONINGSBY OF HAMPTON COURT

On 18 June 1716, he was cr. BARON CONINGSBY OF CONINGSBY, Co. Lincoln, both being with a spec.rem. An ardent supporter of the revolution of 1688, and throughout his life resolutly resisted, somerimes with more zeal than discression the aims of the Jacobite fashion. When William crossed to Ireland, Coningsby was with him, and when the King was wounded at the battle of the Boyne, he was by his master's side. He was appointed joint reciever and paymaster-general of the forces employed in the reduction of Ireland, and from 1690 to 1692 he acted as junior of the three lord justices of Ireland, together with Lord Sydney, the treaty of Limerick, so it is said, having been arranged through his skill. His political opponents accused him of having used his position to gratify his greed. The embezzlement of stores, the appropriation of the estates of rebels, the sale of pardons, and dealings in illicit trade were among the offences imputed to him; but such among the ofences were of slight moment so long the royal influence was at his back.

Through the kings favour he was created Baron Coningsby of Clanbrassil in Ireland on 1 April 1692, sworn as privy councillor on 13 April 1693, and pardoned under the great seal in May l694 for any transgressions which he might have committed whilst in office in Ireland. From 1695 to his death he held the honourable office of chief steward of the city of Hereford, an appointment which involved him in a duel with Lord Chandos, another claimant of the post, ‘but no mischief was done.’

In April 1697 he received a grant under the privy seal of several of the crown manors in England, and in October 1698 he was again created the vice-treasurer and paymaster of the forces in Ireland. During Queen Anne’s reign he acted consistently with the whigs. but his services received slight acknowledgement even when his friends were in office. All that Godolphin did was to write a civil letter or two complimenting Lord Coningsby on his judgement and experience in parliamentary affairs, and it was not until October 1708 that Coningsby was sworn of Anne’s privy council. He was one of the managers of Sacheverell’s trial, and, like most of time prominent whigs, he lost his seat in parliament through the tory reaction which ensued.

With the accession of George I he resumed his old position in public life, and once more basked in court favour. He was included in the select committee of twenty- one appointed to inquire into the negotiations for the treaty of Utrecht, and, according to Prior, was one of the three most inquisitive members of that body. As a result of their investigations, the impeachment of Bolingbroke was moved by Wallpole, that of Harley by Coningsby a family feud had long exited between the two Herefordshire families of Harley and Coningsby and Ormonde’s by Stanhope. Two years later Harley was unanimously discharged, but this concord of opinion was only obtained by Coningsby and some others withdrawing from the proceedings.

For his zeal in behalf of the Hanoverian succession he was well re-warded. The lord-lieutenancy of Herefordshire was conferred on him in November 1714, and in the following month he obtained the same pre-eminence in Radnorshire. A barony in the English peerage was granted to him on 18 June 1715, and he was raised to the higher dignity of Earl Coningsby on 30 April 1719. In the later years of his life Coningsby was involved in perpetual trouble, he was a widower, without any male heir, and with innumerable lawsuits.

For some severe reflections on Lord Harcourt, the lord chancellor, in connection with these legal worries, he was, as Swift notes in his diary, committed to the Tower on 27 Feb. 1720. After having having been in ill health for some time, he died at the family seat of Hampton, near Leominster, on 1 May 1729.

By his first wife, Barbara Gorges, whom he married in February 1674, and from whom he was divorced, he had four daughters and three sons, and his grandson by this marriage succeeded to the Irish barony, but died without issue on 18 Dec. 1729. his second wife, whom he married in April 1639, was Lady Frances Jones, daughter of Richard, Earl of Ranelagh, by whom he had one son, Richard, who died at Hampton on 2 April 1708 when two years old, choked by a cherrystone; and two daughters, Margaret and Frances. The second countess was buried at Hope-under- Dinmore on 23 Feb. 1714-15, aged 42; and Lord Coningsby was buried in the same church in 1729, under a handsome marble monument, on which the child’s death is depicted in striking realism.

The grant of his English peerage contained a remainder for the eldest daughter of his second marriage. Her issue male, John, the only child of this daughter, Margaret, countess of Coningsby, by her husband, Sir Michael Newton, died an infant, the victim of an accidental fall, said to have been caused though the fright of its nurse at seeing an ape, and on the mothers death in 1761 the title became extinct. The younger daughter of Lord Coningsby mar-ried Sir Charles Hanbury Williams. the well-known satirical poet, and was buried in the chapel of St. Erasmus, Westminster Abbey, in December 1781.

Coningsby’s troubles in law arose from his purchase of the manors of Leominster and Marden. After elaborate investigations, he convinced himself that the lord’s rights had in mamy instances been trespassed upon by the copyhold tenants. He caused ejectments to be brought against many persons for being in possession of estates as freehold which lie claimed to be copyhold, and as these claims were resisted by the persons in possession, his last days were embittered by constant strife. his collections concerning Marden were printed in 1722-7 in a bulky tome, without any title-page, and with pagination of great irregularity, but were never published. When his right to the Marden property was disputed, all the copies of this work but a few were destroyed, and these now fetch a high price in the book-market. Some proofs of his irritable disposition have been already mentioned. Through his sharpness of temper he was exposed to the caustic sallies of Atterbury in the house of Lords and to the satires of Swift and Pope in their writings.

His speech to the mayor and common council of the city of Hereford in 1718 on their presumed attachment to the Pretender, a speech not infrequently mixed with oaths, is printed in Richard Johnson’s ‘Ancient Customs of Hereford’ (1882), pp. 2254;. A. portrait of Coningsby and his two daughters, Margaret and Frances, was painted bv Knellet in 1722, and engraved by Vertue in 1723. The peer’s coat-of-arms is on the left hand, and a roll of Magna Charta is in his hand. His two daughters are dressed in riding ha-bits, and with a greyhound and King Charles’s spaniel. He was also painted by Kneller ..singly and there is a whole-length of him in 1709 in his robe as vice-treasurer of Ireland.

Numerous letters and papers relating to him are preserved in public and private collections, but especially among the manuscripts of Lord de Ros, his descendant (Hist. MSS. ‘Comm. 4th Rep.), and the Marquis of Ormonde and the Rev. T. W. Webb, of Hardwick Vicarage, Herefordshire (ib. 7th Rep.) (Chesters Registers of Westminster Abbey, p. 433; Robinsons Mansions of Herefordshire, p146-9; Townsend’s Leominster, 1341-1381: Luttrells Relation of State Affairs (1857). Passim: Pope’s Works (viii. ed. 1872), p. 323; Private Corresp. of Duchess of Marlborough, i. I66. 174, :ii 85, 87, 261. 389; Duncumb,s Herefordshire, ii. 1301 ; Swift’s Works (1883), xvi. 282. 331, 353; Burkes Extinct Baronage, iii. 2035: Case of Earl Coningsby to Five hundreds in Hereford, passim; Doyles Official Baronage

He married :-

1stly (lic Vic Gen, 18 Feb. 1674/5) Barbara, daughter of Ferdinando Georges, of Eye, co Hereford, a merchant from Barbados and of St Barthomomew by the Exchange, London merchant, she being about 18 and he about 19. This marriage (after the birth of seven children) was disolved by Act of Parliament).

NOTE :- Ferdinando Gorges, of Eye in Herefordshire, a merchant from Barbados, contrived to possess himself of some of the Coningsby estates, and to marry his eldest daughter Barbara to Thomas Coningsby when a lad. The marriage licence was applied for to the vicar general of the Archbishop of Canterbury on 18 Feb 1674-5, when Coningsby was described as aged about nineteen, and Barbara Gorges was stated to be about eighteen years old. (Marriage Licences , 1558-1690, Harleian Soc, xxiii,237).

The missdeeds of Ferdinando, who is sometimes styled Captain Gorges, were productive of ruinous loss to his son-in-law, from which he could never suceed in extracting himself. She was living as late as 1715

and

2ndly, about 23 April 1698, against her father's wish, (Her father disinheriting her and leaving all his money to Greenwich Hospital. Francis, younger of the two daughters and coheirs (whose issue became sole heir) of Richard (Jones), Earle of Ranelagh. She who was born 1674, died at Hampton Court, 19, and was buried 23 Feb 1714/15 at Hope under Dinmore, co. Hereford.

Admon 5 Feb 1717/8

He died 1/5/1729 and was buried 9 May 1729 at Hope under Dinmore, aged about 73. The Barrony of CONINGSBY them became extinct, but the Earldom devolved.

Note:- His hanging a man named Gafney without trial in 1691 in Ireland, was afterwards made the subject of a serious parliamentary enquiry at Westminster, and found to have been an arbitrary and illegal act. Mathew Prior fiercely attacked him in a long and indiferent ballard, and Pope refers scornfuly to his "harangues." His gallentry at the Boyne and Aughtrim got him his Barrony, and his zeal for the Hanoverian cause his Earldom. He was a dull, muddleheaded man, as can be gathered from his State Paper on the policy of William and Anne; he hated Harley,and when the later was told at the same time of his threatened impeachment that Coningsby had declared that he would have his head, he replied, "I am sorry I cannot return the compliment, for I would not have his if he would give it to me!

FROM Members of Parliament page 115/116:-

" Coningsby, Thomas (1657 - 1729), of Hampton Court, Herefordshire Leominster 1679 (Oct.), 1681, 1685, 1689, 1690, 1695, 1698, 1701, (Feb.), 1701 (Dec.), 1702, 1705, 1708, 1715 - 18, June 1716

Coningsby’s ancestors had been landholders in the West Midlands since the reign of’ Edward I. Sir I Humphrey Coningsby, a judge, bought Hampton Court, four miles from Leominster, about 1510 between the accession of Elizabeth I and the Civil War his descendants were seven times elected for three counties. Coningsby’s grandfather, Fitzwiliam Coningsby, was expelled from the long parliament as a monopolist; he was replaced in the House by his Humphrey Coningsby, who was like wise soon disabled as at Royalist. ‘His estate valued at £4,000 pa. was heavily mortgaged; Coningsby described his grandfather as ‘a man of great extravagancy and expense, as well as beyond description negligent in the management of his affairs’.

Their fine was set at £4,000 on a declared rental of just over £800 p.a. but much of it was seemingly never paid. When Fitzwilliam Coningsby’ stood for Leominster in 1661 he was denied the poll because he was in prison for debt; he was not on good terms with his eldest son, (from whom he alienated what-ever be could, including the furniture and the title-deeds. Coningsby’s mother escaped from her husband’s creditors for a time by obtaining a post at Court, but by 1675 she was a prisoner in the King’s Bench, and her steward, without her know-ledge or consent, arranged the marriage of Coningsby. who was only just turned 17, with the daughter of Ferdinando Gorges. a notorious slaver called the ‘King of the Blacks’. The marriage to a woman equally lacking in sense and breeding turned out quite as badly as might have been expected, though the financial acumen of Con-ingsby’s father-in-law soon pulled the estate round. A local historian describes Coningsby as ‘contending against the disadvantages of a neglected educa-tion, although he never overcame the evil effects of a want of early discipline and self controll.

Upright, courageous and high-principled, though vain, impulsive and impatient of control, Lord Coningsby’s greatest enemy was himself."

Coningsby was first returned for Leominster at the second general election of 1679 in place of James Pytts who had voted against exclusion. Hence-forward he was to be invariably elected ‘whether absent or present, without trouble or expense’. When he left for Westminster, Gorges, who was a cousin of Shaftesbury, urged him ‘to write to him all the proceedings of Parliament ... to encourage the people to choose him again, seeing him stand up 4r the good of the subject so much, and advising the mobile of that corporation every post’. An active Member, he was named to ten committees in the second Exclusion Parliament, of which the most important was to prepare an address insisting on exclusion, but he did not speak. He was duly re--elected to the Oxford Parliament, which he ‘very nobly attended with good horses and men, according to his brother-in-law. He was appointed to the committee of elections and privileges, and secured an unexpected success with his maiden speech, when he proposed that the hapless Secretary Jenkins should carry Fitzharris impeachment to the Lords. Writing to Gorges, he complained that instead of sitting like a free Parliament, he thought they sat more like a company of slaves in a garrison… The King’s guards were the greatest grievance of the nation’ At a meeting in the lodgings of John Scudamore, Lord Scudarnore, Shaftsbury is said to have offered Coningsby a captaincy in the revolutionary army. As the most moderate of the Herefordshire Whigs, Coningsby and Scudarnore were on excellent terms until Mrs Coningaby discovered through the keyhole— an intrigue be-tween her husband and Lady Scudamore.

Coningsby remained under suspicion of holding Whig cabals at his home, attended by John Birch and John Dutton Colt. Laurence Hyde advised him not to stand in 1685 unless with the approval of the Duke of Beaufort (Henry Somerset’). Never the less he was re-elected. In James II’s Parliament he was named to two unimportant committees, and a speech sometimes attributed to him was probably delivered by Thomas Christie. He was restored to the commission of the peace in 1687. but he returned negative answers in 1688 on the repeal at the Test Act and Penal Laws, and was again removed.

In the Convention, Coningsby was again an active Member, serving on 47 committees, acting as teller in eight divisions and making eight recorded speeches. According to Ailesbury’s list he voted to agree with the Lords that the throne was not vacant and he took part in the inquiry into the authors and advisers of grievances ordered on 5 Mar. 1689 He was appointed to the committee for the Wye and Lugg navigation, and with Paul Foley acted as teller against adjourning the debate. He showed a keen interest in Irish affairs, being appointed to the committees to inquire into the delays over the relief of Londonderrv and to consider raising money from the forfeited estates of Irish Jacobites. He took part in preparing the bill of attainder, but was against muss exceptions to the bill of indemnity. "This is lumping indeed!’ he exclaimed, he acted at teller with Sir Patience Ward on an amendment to the bill for restoring corporations 23 July, and Sir Edward Harlev wrote with evident relief: ‘Mr Coningsby carried himself very worthily’. Harley was probably less satisfied with Coningsby in the second session. IHis concern with Ireland continued; he was appointed to the committee for the, relief of refugees, but he acted as teller for adjourning the’ debate on Commissary Shales. on 26 Nov; and commended the modesty of George Churchill in the sums he took for convoys, He was teller for adjourning the debate on the bill for restoring corporations on 2 Jan.1690. and probably voted’ against the disabling clause. A few days later he told the House: ‘Surrenderers were the scaffolds, And regulators were the builders: will you leave them Out?"

Coningsby remained a firm whig, nevertheless. He was in high favour with William III after ban-daging the latter’s wound at the battle of the Boyne. His last years were darkened by domestic bereave-ment, unsuccessful litigation and political reverses, He died on May 1729, and his grandson, the last of the family, survived him by only a few months."

Fire Dance[edit]

Loie Fuller’s dancing progressed from Vaudeville skirt dancing to inspirational abstract art when she extended her skirts with bamboo rods. Fire Dance, or Le Danse de Feu, was one of the first dances with these rods and it was also one of the first to utilize the new electric lights to their full effect. Fire Dance began as the Dance of the Sun in her 1895 production of Salome. It premiered as a solo in 1896 to a stunned and mesmerized audience.

Part of what captured the audience’s attention was Loïe’s abstract (or what we now call Modern) movement, but the other part was the way in which she utilized the new electric stage lights. Before this time, Ballets and Operas we performed with gas front lights to a still illuminated house. They also used all kinds of lavish sets or at least painted backdrops. Loïe did away with any kind of colorful background and hung the stage in black velvet. She also turned out the house lights. From the darkness she would appear, first as a ghostly creature then as an illuminated jewel in the center of the stage.

The trap door was removed and replaced with a pane of glass. From below this, two of the new electric lights shined upwards through the glass. Another light came from directly above the dancer, while still others came from the sides at all angles. Doing away with the standard ‘front light only’ created a depth to her movement the audience was not used to. Now add to that her work with color.

Loïe was the first to create and use color scrollers. She took large circles of glass and painted on gelatin of various reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues and violets. These disks were then mounted at the front of the light and were turned by the hand. For Fire Dance she had over 14 electricians manning a light each and they would take the cue to change to the next color from Loie’s brother, who was her master electrician. Stationed at one of the lights below Loïe, he would take a cue from her foot, then turn his wheel slowly to the next blue or purple. Seeing this change the electricians at the shins would rotate to their next color, and so on up to the final man hanging from the cat walk directly above Loïe. These effects in the pitch black of the stage and house, where what made her living fire such a success.

This success was due in part to the Art Nuevo movement of that time in Paris. The idea of a women becoming fire was directly in line with the link of humans and nature. She inspired artists like Toulouse Lautrec, Jules Cheret and Pierre Roche. August Rodin did a number of studies of dancers, based on inspiration and coaxing from Loïe. And Loïe taught and mentored Isadora Duncan before Duncan went on to be given the crown of “mother of Modern dance”.

ThanksUSA[edit]

ThanksUSA is a non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) foundation whose acronym stands for Treasure Hunt Aiding Needs of Kids (and Spouses) of those Serving the United States of America. Begun in early 2005 by two Virginian youngsters, Rachel, 10, and Kelsi Okun, 8, on a family vacation, ThanksUSA is an online treasure hunt focused around American history, geography, and culture. By solving puzzles and games like crosswords and soduku using clues based on facts from 12 different states, players get the chance to compete for an array of grand prizes such as mountain bikes, electronics, a chest full of jewels, a trip to Disney World, and even an all-expense paid vacation to Washington, DC for four with exclusive access to monuments and federal buildings as well as accommodations at the historic Willard Intercontinental hotel.

ThanksUSA has gained national media attention. It was designed to thank the troops for their service overseas as well as support their families here in the States. Donations given during registration as well as independently from such federal agencies as the Department of Defense and private agencies like the Walt Disney Company, the Motion Picture Association of America, and CBS help to provide secondary-education scholarships to children of those at war in addition to prizes offered in this hunt. “Your goal in Thanks is: Number one, to have fun. Number two, to spend time with your family. Number three, to thank the troops. Number four, to learn about history,” says Rachel Okun, a fourth-grader from McLean, VA.

The girls’ mother, Deanna Okun, vice chairman of the U.S. International Trade Commission and their father, B. Robert Okun, vice president of NBC universal along with their former teacher, Carolyn Ferek, from Haycock Elementary school have arranged the financial details of the military family scholarship program. This year’s scholarship deadline has already lapsed as of May 30, 2005 with around 4,000 participants in the running for 1,000 scholarships from $1,000 to $5,000 each; however, more than 500 applicants have already signed-up for the 2007 scholarship contest. The treasure hunt portion of ThanksUSA began on Memorial Day (May 29, 2005) and lasts until Labor Day (September 4, 2006); all U.S. citizens can play.

Mike Hacker, a spokesman for ThanksUSA, says, “This treasure hunt is about American values, culture and history. These are the things are soldiers are defending. We all have an obligation to support those who defend us and to let them know we care about the job they are doing for us all.”
