The current Romanian Royal Family (of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen), an integral part of the larger Royal House of Romania, consists of the family of King Michael I of Romania who bear a Royal title (i.e. Royal Highnesses). There is also a rival branch which descends from Michael’s older half-brother Carol Mircea Hohenzollern (also known as “Carol Mircea Grigore of Romania”, al României in Romanian, on his amended Romanian birth certificate), whose members regard themselves as part of the Royal Family. The King, Queen and their five daughters hold the titles Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern in addition to their Romanian titles.

Family of King Michael

• King Michael I of Romania
• Queen Anne of Romania
  • Crown Princess Margarita of Romania (born 1949)
  • Radu, Prince of Romania (born 1960), the future “Prince Consort of Romania” upon King Michael’s death, husband of Crown Princess Margarita
  • Princess Helena (Elena) of Romania (born 1950)
  • Princess Irina of Romania (born 1953)
  • Princess Sophie of Romania (born 1957)
  • Princess Marie of Romania (born 1964)

The children of Princess Elena, Princess Irina, and Princess Sophie have no rights to the Romanian throne according to both the last royal Constitution of 1923 and the last Law of the Statute of the Romanian Royal House dated 1884. However, on December 30, 2007 in a private ceremony, King Michael signed into effect a new such Statute, an anti-democratic act with eminently symbolic importance in the absence of its approval by the Parliament requested by Michael himself, in an attempt to replace the old 1884 Law of the Statute. Through the new Statute called Fundamental Rules of the Royal Family of Romania, Michael decreed his grandchildren into the line of succession to the throne and to the headship of the Royal House and explicitly banned any other foreign prince belonging to any other royal or princely house from succeeding. On the same occasion he asked the Romanian Parliament to change the Salic law should it consider restoring the monarchy (see “Line of succession to the Romanian throne”). Through the same act, Michael also designated Nicholas de Roumanie Medforth-Mills as a future member of the Royal Family and future “Prince of Romania” with a “Royal Highness” style effective either on his 25th birthday, April 1, 2010, or upon Michael’s death, whichever occurs sooner. Children or consorts of the members of the Royal Family of Romania who do not bear a Royal title, are not recognized as members of the Royal Family according to the new rules, but only as members of the larger family of King Michael I and of the Royal House.

Family of Carol Lambrino

The descendants of King Michael’s elder half-brother Carol Lambrino also claim to be members of the Romanian Royal Family. Their claim is not recognised by King Michael.

• Paul-Philippe Hohenzollern (born 1948), son of Carol Lambrino, styles himself “Prince Paul of Romania”
• Lia Hohenzollern (née Triff) (born 1949), wife of Paul
• Alexander Hohenzollern (born 1961), son of Carol Lambrino

Deceased members of the Royal Family

• King Carol I of Romania
• Queen Elisabeth of Romania
  • Princess Maria of Romania
• King Ferdinand I of Romania
• Queen Marie of Romania
  • King Carol II of Romania
  • Princess Elisabeth of Romania
  • Princess Maria of Romania
  • Prince Nicholas of Romania
  • Princess Ileana of Romania
  • Prince Mircea of Romania
• King Carol II of Romania
• Queen Mother Helen of Romania

Sonia Delaunay (n?e Terk) (November 14, 1885 – December 5, 1979) was a Jewish-French artist who, with her husband Robert Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. Her work extends to painting, textile design and stage set design. She was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre in 1964 and in 1975 was named an officer of the French Legion of Honor.

Her work in modern design included the concepts of geometric abstraction, the integration of furniture, fabrics, wall coverings, and clothing.

Early life

Sarah Ilinitchna Stern was born in Gradizhske in the Ukraine. At a young age she moved to St. Petersburg where she was cared for by her mother’s brother Henri Terk. Henri, a successful and affluent Jewish lawyer, and his wife Anna wanted to adopt her but her mother would not allow it. Finally in 1890 she was adopted by the Terkse. She assumed the name Sonia Terk and received a privileged upbringing with the Terks, they spent their summers in Finland and traveled widely in Europe introducing Sonia to art museums and galleries. When she was 16 she attended a well-regarded secondary school in St. Petersburg, where her skill at drawing was noted by her teacher. When she was 18, at her teacher’s suggestion, she was sent to art school in Germany where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe. She studied in Germany until 1905 when she decided to move on to Paris. She apparently made the decision to move to Paris after reading Julius Meier-Graefe’s book Manet und sein Kreis which claimed that Paris was the center of true art.

When she arrived in Paris she enrolled at the Académie de la Palette in Montparnasse. Unhappy with the mode of teaching, which she thought was too critical, she spent less time at the Académie and more time in galleries around Paris. Her own work during this period was strongly influenced by the art she was viewing including the post-impressionist art of Van Gogh, Gauguin and Henri Roushers and the fauves including Henri Matisse and Derain. During her first year in Paris she met, and in 1908 married, German homosexual art gallery owner Wilhelm Uhde. Little is known about their union, but it is assumed to have been a marriage of convenience to escape the demands of her parents, who disliked her artistic career, for her to return to Russia. Sonia gained entrance into the art world via exhibitions at Uhde’s gallery and benefit from his connections and Uhde masked his homosexuality through his public marriage to Sonia.

Sonia met Robert Delaunay in early 1909: his aunt was a regular visitor at Uhde’s gallery. They became lovers in April of that year and it was decided that she and Uhde should divorce. The divorce was finalised in August 1910, as she was pregnant. She and Robert quickly married on November 15, and their son Charles was born on January 18. They were supported by an allowance sent from Sonia’s aunt in St. Petersburg.

Orphism

In 1911 Sonia made a patchwork quilt for Charles’ crib, which is now in the collection of the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris. This quilt was created spontaneously and uses geometry and color.

“About 1911 I had the idea of making for my son, who had just been born, a blanket composed of bits of fabric like those I had seen in the houses of Russian peasants. When it was finished, the arrangement of the pieces of material seemed to me to evoke cubist conceptions and we then tried to apply the same process to other objects and paintings,” Sonia Delaunay

Contemporary art critics recognize this as the point where she moved away from perspective and naturalism in her art. Around the same time, cubist works were being shown in Paris and Robert had been studying the color theories of Michel Eugène Chevreul, they called their experiments with color in art and designsimultanéisme. Simultaneous design occurs when one design, when placed next to another, affects both; this is similar to the theory of colors (Pointillism, as used by e.g., Georges Seurat) in which primary color dots placed next to each other are “mixed” by the eye and affect each other. Sonia’s first large scale painting in this style was Bal Bullier (1912-13), a painting known for both its use of color and movement.

The Delaunays’ friend, poet and art critic, Guillaume Apollinaire coined the term Orphism to describe the Delaunays’ version of cubism in 1913. It was through Apollinaire that Sonia met friend and collaborator, poet Blaise Cendrars in 1912. She illustrated his poem La prose du Transsibérien et de la Petite Jehanne de France (“The Prose of the Trans-Siberian and of Little Jehanne of France”) about a journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway, by creating a 2m long accordion type of book. Using simultaneous design principles the book merged text and design. The book, which was pretty much sold by subscription, created a stir amongst Paris critics. The simultaneous book was later shown at the Autumn Salon in Berlin in 1913 along with paintings and other applied artworks such as dresses, and it is said that Paul Klee was so impressed with her use of squares in her binding of Cendrars’ poem that they became an enduring feature in his own work.

In 1914 they traveled to the Iberian Peninsula where they lived for roughly six years while the First World War raged in Europe. In Portugal Sonia and Robert met with several Portuguese artists, including Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, with whom they had an intense friendship. Her most important work from that period is The Market at Minho. The Delaunays were in Barcelona when the Russian Revolution occurred. Realizing that they would no longer receive special support from her family, Sonia concluded that she would have to make a living from applied arts and her career in design and theatre began.

Design and theater

In 1920 Sonia returned to Paris and in 1924 she opened a fashion studio together with Jacques Heim. In 1925 she participated in Exposition Interationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes (Art Deco) in Paris together with Vadim Meller, Aleksandra Ekster, Nathan Altman and David Shterenberg. Her work extends to painting, textile design and stage set design. She was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre in 1964 and in 1975 was named an officer of the French Legion of Honor. Sonia Delaunay-Terk died in 1979 in Paris. Her work in modern design included the use of geometric abstraction and the integration of furniture, fabrics, wall coverings and clothing.

Jazz expert Charles Delaunay is her son.

Legacy

Delaunay’s painting Coccinelle was featured on a stamp jointly released by the French Post Office, La Poste and the United Kingdom’s Royal Mail in 2004 to commemorate the centenary of the Entente Cordiale

Sturgeon Fossil range: Upper Cretaceous–Recent Pre? ? O S D C P T J K Pg N
Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus)
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Acipenseriformes Family: Acipenseridae
Subfamilies
Acipenserinae Scaphirhynchinae See text for genera and species.

Sturgeon is the common name used for some 26 species of fish in the family Acipenseridae, including the genera Acipenser, Huso, Scaphirhynchus and Pseudoscaphirhynchus. The term includes over 20 species commonly referred to as sturgeon and several closely related species that have distinct common names, notably sterlet, kaluga and beluga. Collectively, the family is also known as the True Sturgeons. Sturgeon is sometimes used more exclusively to refer to the species in the two best-known genera; Acipenser and Huso.

One of the oldest families of bony fish in existence, they are native to subtropical, temperate and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes and coastlines of Eurasia and North America. They are distinctive for their elongated bodies, lack of scales, and occasional great size: Sturgeons ranging from 7–12 feet (2-3½ m) in length are common, and some species grow up to 18 feet (5.5 m). Most sturgeons are anadromous bottom-feeders, spawning upstream and feeding in river deltas and estuaries. While some are entirely freshwater, very few venture into the open ocean beyond near coastal areas.

Several species of sturgeons are harvested for their roe, which is made into caviar - a luxury good which makes some sturgeons pound for pound the most valuable of all harvested fish. Because they are slow-growing and mature very late in life, they are particularly vulnerable to exploitation and to other threats, including pollution and habitat fragmentation. Most species of sturgeons are currently considered either vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered.

Evolution

Sturgeon and related paddlefish first appear in the fossil record approximately 200 million years ago, making them among the most ancient of actinopterygian fishes. In that time they have undergone remarkably little morphological change, indicating that their evolution has been exceptionally slow and earning them informal status as living fossils. This is explained in part by the long inter-generation time, tolerance for wide ranges of temperature and salinity, lack of predators due to size, and the abundance of prey items in the benthic environment.

Despite the existence of a fossil record, it has been difficult to fully classify the sturgeon species or unambiguously determine their phylogeny. This is in part due to the high individual and ontogenic variation, including geographical clines in certain features, such as rostrum shape, number of scutes and body length. A further confounding factor is the peculiar ability of sturgeons to produce reproductively viable hybrids, even between species assigned to different genera. The wide range of the Acipenserids and their endangered status have made collection of systematic materials difficult. These factors have led researchers in the past to identify over 40 additional species that were rejected by later workers. It is still unclear whether the species in the Asipenser and Huso genera are monophyletic (descended from one ancestor) or paraphyletic (descended from many ancestors)- though it is clear that the morphologically motivated division between these two genera is not supported by the genetic evidence. There is an ongoing effort to resolve the taxonomic confusion using a continuing synthesis of systematic data and molecular techniques.

Physical characteristics

Closeup of head

Along with other members of the Chondrostei and the Acipenseriformes order, sturgeon are primarily cartilagenous, lack a vertebral centrum, and are covered with bony plates called scutes rather than scales. They also have four barbels - unique tactile organs that precede their toothless mouth and are dragged along often murky river bottoms. Sturgeon are distinctly and immediately recognizable for their elongated bodies, flattened rostra, distinctive scutes and barbels, and elongated upper tail lobes.

They are primarily benthic feeders. With their projecting wedgeshaped snout they stir up the soft bottom, and use the barbels to detect shells, crustaceans and small fish, on which they feed. Having no teeth, they are unable to seize prey, though larger specimens can swallow very large prey items, including whole salmon and even baby seals.

Sturgeon have been referred to as both the Leviathans and Methuselahs of freshwater fish. They are among the largest fish: some beluga (Huso huso) in the Caspian Sea reportedly attain over 5.5 m and 2000 kg while for kaluga (H. dauricus) in the Amur River similar lengths and over 1000 kg weights have been reported. Beluga sturgeon of similar size have long been reported from the Columbia River and its tributary the Snake River, both of which can be at least 100 feet (30 meters) deep in reservoirs behind dams. They are also probably the longest-lived of the fishes, some living well over 100 years and attaining sexual maturity at 20 years or more. The combination of slow growth and reproductive rates and the extremely high value placed on mature egg-bearing females make sturgeon particularly vulnerable to overfishing.

Sturgeons are polyploid; some species have 4, 8, or 16 sets of chromosomes.

Range and habitat

Sturgeon range from subtropical to subarctic waters in North America and Eurasia. In North America, they range along the Atlantic coast from the Gulf of Mexico to Newfoundland, including the Great Lakes and the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, as well as along the West coast in major rivers from California to British Columbia. They occur along the European Atlantic coast, including the Mediterranean basin, in the rivers that flow into the Black, Azov and Caspian seas (Danube, Dnepr, Volga and Don), the north-flowing rivers of Russia that feed the Arctic Ocean (Ob, Yenisei, Lena, Kolyma), in the rivers of Central Asia (Amu Darya and Syr Darya) and Lake Baikal. In the Pacific Ocean, they are found in the Amur River along the Russian-Chinese border, on Sakhalin island, and in the Yangtze and other rivers in northeast China.

Throughout this extensive range, almost all species are highly threatened or vulnerable to extinction due to a combination of habitat destruction, overfishing and pollution.

No species are known to naturally occur south of the equator, though attempts at sturgeon aquaculture are being made in Uruguay, South Africa and other places.

Most species are at least partially anadromous, spawning in fresh water and feeding in nutrient rich brackish waters of estuaries or undergoing significant migrations along coastlines. However, some species have evolved purely freshwater existences, such as the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) and the Baikal sturgeon (A. baerii baicalensis), or have been forced into them by anthropogenic or natural impoundment of their native rivers, as in the case of some subpopulations of white sturgeon (A. transmontanus) in the Columbia River and Siberian sturgeon (A. baerii) in the Ob basin.

Uses

In Russia, sturgeon fisheries are of immense value. Early in summer the fish migrate into the rivers or towards the shores of freshwater lakes in large shoals for breeding purposes. The ova are very small, and so numerous that one female has been calculated to produce about three million in one season. The ova of some species have been observed to hatch within very few days after exclusion. In sturgeons that have attained maturity their growth appears to be much slower, although continuing for many years. Frederick the Great placed a number of them in the Garder See Lake in Pomerania about 1780; some of these were found to be still alive in 1866. Professor von Baer also states, as the result of direct observations made in Russia, that the Hausen (Acipenser huso) attains an age of 100 years, but can live over 210 years.

The underside and mouth of a sturgeon

In countries like England, where few sturgeons are caught, sturgeon is included as a royal fish in an act of King Edward II, although it probably only rarely graces the royal table of the present period, or even that of the lord mayor of London, who can claim all sturgeons caught in the Thames above London Bridge. Where sturgeons are caught in large quantities, as on the rivers of southern Russia and on the great lakes of North America, their flesh is dried, smoked or salted. The ovaries, which are of large size, are prepared for caviar, for this purpose they are beaten with switches, and then pressed through sieves, leaving the membranous and fibrous tissues in the sieve, whilst the eggs are collected in a tub. The quantity of salt added to them before they are finally packed varies with the season, scarcely any being used at the beginning of winter. Finally, one of the best sorts of isinglass is manufactured from the airbladder. After it has been carefully removed from the body, it is washed in hot water, and cut open in its whole length, to separate the inner membrane, which has a soft consistency, and contains 70% of gluten.

Sturgeon (and, therefore also the caviar trade) are under severe threat from overfishing, poaching and water pollution.

The Jewish law of kashrut, which only permits one to eat fish with scales and fins, forbids sturgeon, as they have ganoid scales instead of the permitted ctenoid and cycloid scales. All Orthodox groups do not allow sturgeon but the conservative CLJS does allow it.

Species

In currently accepted taxonomy, the family Acipenseridae is subdivided into two subfamilies, Acipenserinae, including the genera Acipenser and Huso, and Scaphirhynchinae, including the genera Scaphirhynchus and Pseudosaphirhynchus.

Daniela Nardini (born 26 April 1968 in Largs) is a Scottish actress of Italian ancestry, best known for playing Anna Forbes in the BBC Two television series This Life. The role earned her a BAFTA Best Actress award in 1998.

Early Life

Nardini trained as an actress at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.

Her parents managed “Nardini’s”, a well-known ice cream parlour and restaurant in Largs, which has now opend back up in 2009 under new ownership; as well as a new branch that has opened nearby. This was recently mentioned on the popular BBC lexicographical programme Balderdash & Piffle. Daniela spoke about her family in the context of the mysterious history of the 99 Flake ice cream.

When she was 16, her elder brother was killed in a car accident.

She was on the point of giving up acting and training to become a drama teacher when she was offered the part of Anna in This Life.

Career

She was most recently seen as the ruthless estate agent, Meredith McIlvanney, in the Annie Griffin comedy-drama New Town, shown on BBC 4 in February 2009. Other television appearances include Reckless (1997); Big Women (1998); Undercover Heart (1998); Love in the 21st Century (1999); Tube Tales (1999); Rough Treatment (2000); Sirens (2002); Outside the Rules (2002) and Quite Ugly One Morning (2004). She appeared as Lady Huntly in the four-hour BBC epic Gunpowder, Treason & Plot in 2004, and played a shopaholic in Shiny, Shiny Bright New Hole in My Heart, again for the BBC, in 2006.

Kommissar X or Commissioner X is a German crime fiction series of books from the Pabel Moewig publishing house. “Kommissar X” is a private detective named Joe Louis Walker who was a counterpart of the German crime fiction FBI Special Agent Jerry Cotton. In addition to the vast collection of books, between 1965 and 1971 seven Kommissar X films were made with Tony Kendall (actor) as the laid back swinging New York City private eye Joe Walker balanced against the serious muscular New York City Police Captain Tom Rowland played by Brad Harris.

Beginnings

The Kommissar X series of crime novels were written by Bert F. Island whose real name was Paul Alfred Mueller (18 October 1901-1 January 1970). Beginning in 1959, Island wrote 620 “Kommissar X” books.

Films

With the international success of the films of Ian Fleming’s James Bond and the German Jerry Cotton (played by George Nader) series, seven Commissioner X films mostly written and directed by Gianfranco Parolini and starring Tony Kendall as private detective Joe Walker and Brad Harris as New York City Police Lieutenant Tom Rowland were made. These films were not only released internationally but became a staple of American television movies in the mid 1960’s when American stations sought colour films to show.

The films were

• Hunt for the Unknown/Kiss Kiss Kill Kill (1965)
• Three Yellow Cats/Death is Nimble, Death is Quick (1966)
• So Darling So Deadly (1966)
• Death Trip (1967)
• Three Blue Panthers/Kill Panther Kill (1968)
• Three Golden Serpents/The Island of Lost Girls (1969)
• FBI: Operation Pakistan (1971)

DVD Release

The first three Kommissar X films have been released in the United States but in the same faded and English dubbed versions that were on American television in the 1960’s.
