# Rancho Notorious

***Rancho Notorious*** is a 1952 American Technicolor western film directed by Fritz Lang and starring Marlene Dietrich as the matron of a criminal hideout called Chuck-a-Luck, named after the game of chance referenced in the film. Arthur Kennedy and Mel Ferrer play rivals for her attention in this tale of frontier revenge.

The film was originally titled *Chuck-a-Luck*, with “The Legend of Chuck-a-Luck” as the title song, but the name was changed at the insistence of Howard Hughes, then head of RKO Pictures.

## Plot

A recurring ballad introduces this tale of "death, murder and revenge". Wyoming ranch hand Vern Haskell is enraged when his fiancée Beth Forbes is raped and murdered during a store robbery. He sets out after the two thieves, first with a posse, then by himself. He finds one of them, Whitey, shot in the back by his partner after a quarrel. When Vern asks where his partner was headed, his dying words are "Chuck-a-luck".

Vern continues his search, questioning everyone he meets about the phrase. He finally finds someone who mentions that a woman named Altar Keane is connected with Chuck-a-luck. When the man realizes that Vern is just fishing for information, Vern is forced to kill him in self-defense. Vern is taken into custody and then released when the dead man is identified as a wanted outlaw. By a stroke of luck, a deputy knows Altar as a saloon singer from his past, though not her current whereabouts.

Vern learns that after Altar quit working for saloon owner Baldy Gunder, she bet her last $20 on his rigged game of chance, a wheel of fortune variant of chuck-a-luck. With the help of gunslinger Frenchy Fairmont, she won a great deal of money. Vern learns that Frenchy has just been arrested and is in custody in a town called Gunsight, and to gain access to him, Vern has himself arrested there.

After they break out, Frenchy takes Vern to his home, the Chuck-a-Luck, a horse ranch near the Mexican border owned by Altar. The ranch is a no-questions-asked hideout available to any outlaw willing to pay. Kinch, the killer of Vern's fiancee, is among the outlaws residing there, but Vern doesn't know his face. Kinch notices Vern's suspiciousness of the outlaws.

Vern catches Altar's eye. One night, she wears the brooch that his fiancee was wearing when she died. He starts to romance Altar to find out who gave it to her, making Frenchy jealous.

Vern goes along on a bank robbery with the outlaws of the Chuck-a-luck. After finally recognizing Vern, Kinch secretly shoots at him but misses. Vern returns to the Chuck-a-luck to bring Altar her cut. She has fallen for his feigned advances, and when he questions her about the brooch, she reveals Kinch as the source. In a fury, Vern tells her his true purpose and expresses his disdain for her profession. Vern tries to turn Kinch over to a sheriff, but he escapes with the help of the other outlaws. When they return to the ranch to kill Altar for her indiscretion, a gunfight breaks out. Altar is shot protecting Frenchy, who has shot Kinch dead. The outlaws flee while Frenchy and Vern ride off together, although the closing ballad suggests they both died that very same day, most likely dueling each other, thus ending this tale of "death, murder and revenge".

## Cast

## Reception

### Critical response

When *Rancho Notorious* was released, Bosley Crowther of *The New York Times* was critical of the film: "In the department of western action, the show has its interesting points, including a couple of fist-and-gun fights that have been racily staged by Fritz Lang. Anyone who will settle for stick-ups and slug fests and pistol duels, all in Technicolor, may find enough in this picture to satiate his lust. Hungry-looking actors swagger and snarl in the outlaw roles. But anyone who expects a Western picture to match the character of its able female star had better look in another direction. This one is run-of-the-mill."

The staff at *Variety* magazine gave the film and Marlene Dietrich a much more positive review: "This Marlene Dietrich western has some of the flavor of the old outdoor classics (like the actress's own onetime *Destry Rides Again*) without fully capturing their quality and magic. The characters play the corny plot \[original story by Silvia Richards\] straight; directing keeps the pace lively and interesting, and the outdoor shots, abetted by the constant splash of color, are eye-arresting. Dietrich is as sultry and alluring as ever ... Dietrich is a dazzling recreation of the old time saloon mistress, and handles her song, 'Get Away, Young Man', with her usual throaty skill."

title: Prior of Loch Leven

abstract: The Prior of Loch Leven was the head of lands and of the community Augustinian canons of St Serf's Inch Priory, Loch Leven. There was a Scottish Céli Dé establishment there in the first half of the 12th century, allegedly found by Bruide, son of Dargart, King of the Picts (696–706). When the Augustinian priory was founded in 1150, the Scottish monks were absorbed into the established and those who refused to join were to be expelled. Not all of the priors are known.

title: Witold Hurewicz

abstract: Witold Hurewicz was a Polish mathematician.

# Witold Hurewicz

**Witold Hurewicz** (June 29, 1904 – September 6, 1956) was a Polish mathematician.

## Early life and education

Witold Hurewicz was born in Łódź, at the time one of the main Polish industrial hubs with economy focused on the textile industry. His father Mieczysław Hurewicz was an industrialist born in Wilno, which until 1939 was mainly populated by Poles and Jews. His mother Katarzyna Finkelsztain hailed from Biała Cerkiew, a town that belonged to the Kingdom of Poland until the Second Partition of Poland (1793) when it was taken by Russia.

Hurewicz attended school in a German-controlled Poland but with World War I beginning before he had begun secondary school, major changes occurred in Poland. In August 1915 the Russian forces that had held Poland for many years withdrew. Germany and Austria-Hungary took control of most of the country and the University of Warsaw was refounded and it began operating as a Polish university. Rapidly, a strong school of mathematics grew up in the University of Warsaw, with topology one of the main topics. Although Hurewicz knew intimately the topology that was being studied in Poland he chose to go to Vienna to continue his studies.

He studied under Hans Hahn and Karl Menger in Vienna, receiving a PhD in 1926. Hurewicz was awarded a Rockefeller scholarship, which allowed him to spend the year 1927–28 in Amsterdam. He was assistant to L. E. J. Brouwer in Amsterdam from 1928 to 1936. He was given study leave for a year, which he decided to spend in the United States. He visited the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey and then decided to remain in the United States and not return to his position in Amsterdam.

## Career

Hurewicz worked first at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill but during World War II he contributed to the war effort with research on applied mathematics. In particular, the work he did on servomechanisms at that time was classified because of its military importance. From 1945 until his death he worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Hurewicz's early work was on set theory and topology. The *Dictionary of Scientific Biography* states: "...a remarkable result of this first period \[1930\] is his topological embedding of separable metric spaces into compact spaces of the same (finite) dimension.\*"

In the field of general topology his contributions are centred on dimension theory. He wrote an important text with Henry Wallman, *Dimension Theory*, published in 1941. A reviewer writes that the book "...is truly a classic. It presents the theory of dimension for separable metric spaces with what seems to be an impossible mixture of depth, clarity, precision, succinctness, and comprehensiveness."

Hurewicz is best remembered for three remarkable contributions to mathematics: his discovery of the higher homotopy groups in 1935–36, his discovery of the long exact homotopy sequence for fibrations in 1941, and the Hurewicz theorem connecting homotopy and homology groups. His work led to homological algebra. It was during Hurewicz's time as Brouwer's assistant in Amsterdam that he did the work on the higher homotopy groups; "...the idea was not new, but until Hurewicz nobody had pursued it as it should have been. Investigators did not expect much new information from groups, which were obviously commutative..."

In the late 1940s, he was the doctoral advisor of Yael Dowker.

Hurewicz had a second textbook published, but this was not until 1958 after his death. *Lectures on ordinary differential equations* is an introduction to ordinary differential equations that again reflects the clarity of his thinking and the quality of his writing.

He died after participating in the International Symposium on Algebraic Topology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City. He tripped and fell off the top of a Mayan step pyramid during an outing in Uxmal, Mexico. In the *Dictionary of Scientific Biography* it is suggested that he was "...a paragon of absentmindedness, a failing that probably led to his death."

# Martin Elkort

**Martin Edward Elkort** (April 18, 1929 – November 19, 2016) was an American photographer, illustrator and writer known primarily for his street photography. Prints of his work are held and displayed by several prominent art museums in the United States. His photographs have regularly appeared in galleries and major publications. Early black and white photographs by Elkort feature the fabled Lower East Side in Manhattan, New York City, showing its ethnic diversity, myriad streets and cluttered alleys. The Coney Island amusement park in Brooklyn was another favorite site during that period. His later work depicts street scenes from downtown Los Angeles and Tijuana, Mexico. Throughout Martin Elkort's long career as a photographer, he always showed the positive, joyful side of life in his candid images.

## Early life and education

Born in the Bronx, New York City, in a Jewish family originally from Slovakia, the son of Lewis Elkort and Esther Kronenberg, and the grandson of Herman Elkort who was born as Ilkovics, Martin Elkort grew up during the Great Depression. At the age of 15, he contracted polio and spent four months in the hospital. When he returned home, his parents gave him his first Ciroflex, a twin-lens reflex camera, that cost them about a week's salary.

## Photographic career

Elkort took his first professional photograph at the age of 10 while on a car trip with his parents to Baltimore. During the trip, he took photographs of flooded streets. The *Baltimore Sun* purchased his photographs of flood scenes and featured one of them on its front page. After his recovery from polio, he set out around Manhattan taking pictures of whatever interested him.

Elkort was a member of New York Photo League from 1948 to 1951; an editorial associate and contributor to *New Mexico Magazine* in 1957; a founding member in 2002 of Los Angeles League of Photographers (LALOP); a contributing editor and contributed photographs to *Rangefinder Magazine* in 2006; and a member of the Photography Arts Council at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

### Early period: New York

While studying at New York City's Cooper Union School of Art, Elkort joined the New York Photo League, an organization of photographers that served as the epicenter of the documentary movement in American photography. There he studied under successful photographers including Paul Strand, Aaron Siskind, Sid Grossman, Lou Stoumen, Imogen Cunningham and Weegee, learning to become adept at what he refers to as "stealth photography". With a more refined Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera strapped around his neck, he would roam the streets peering down into the 2×2 inch ground glass. He developed the skill of walking right up to a person and taking their photo without them even realizing it. His goal was to capture this post-war period's general optimism and innocence. During this period he worked at the Wildenstein & Company Gallery and later, the Stephen Michael Studio in Manhattan where he further enhanced his photographic knowledge and technique.

In 1948, Elkort showed his pictures of Hasidic Jewish boys playing in the streets to Edward Steichen, who was curator of photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art and probably America's most famous photographer at the time. Steichen rejected his photos, describing Martin's skills as "no better than the other 35 million amateur photographers in the country." Dejected but determined, Elkort worked tirelessly to improve his craft and two years later, he met with Steichen again. This time the famous curator bought three of his images for the museum's collection: "Soda Fountain Girl", "Puppy Love", and "The Girl With Black Cat", all uplifting images of children at Coney Island.

Elkort's photographs (c.1951) of recently liberated Jewish immigrants learning new work skills at the Bramson ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation and Training) School in Brooklyn offer a rare and intimate glimpse into of their optimistic struggle to integrate into a new society after World War II. Some of his pictures show Jewish workers bearing tattoos evidencing their incarceration in Nazi concentration camps during The Holocaust. In 1951, more than 20,000 Jews received vocational training at the Bramson ORT School. Seamstresses, tailors, pattern makers, pressers; here they learned a trade that was much needed in New York's growing fashion and garment district. In 2008, Elkort donated 33 of his vintage ORT photographs to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

### Later period: Los Angeles

After receiving a digital camera for his 70th birthday, Martin's photographic career re-ignited. He began to show his current and older work in galleries around the country. He also found a renewed interest in the New York Photo League.

In 2002, he co-founded the Los Angeles League of Photographers along with David Schulman and David Stork. Modeled after the New York Photo League, its mission is to expose the wider public to photography's essential social, political and aesthetic values. He also writes articles for magazines dealing with photography including *Rangefinder* and *Black & White Magazine*.

As of March 2014, Elkort's work is widely exhibited and can be found in the permanent collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; The Jewish Museum (Manhattan) in New York City; the Columbus Museum of Art; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles; as well as many corporate and private collections.

## Author

Following his retirement from the travel industry in 1996, Elkort authored two books, *Getting from Fired to Hired* and *The Secret Life of Food*. He also wrote numerous magazine articles for *Rangefinder* and *Black & White* magazines.

## Personal life

In the 1970s, Martin and his wife Edythe bought and ran a travel agency in Beverly Hills, California, catering to a clientele that included many Hollywood stars.

In 1976, Martin and his longtime friend Murray Vidockler founded the Society for Accessible Travel & Hospitality (SATH) to promote better wheelchair access on buses and at airports, hotels and major destinations.

# Mike Laycock

**Michael E. Laycock** is a Canadian retired ice hockey goaltender who was an All-American for Brown.

## Career

Laycock began attending Brown University in 1975 and backed-up the Bears' starter Kevin McCabe for his first two seasons. Despite seeing relatively little playing time, he was drafted in the 12th round of the 1977 NHL Draft. The following season he made the transition into the starting role and starred for the team. Brown finished 6th in the ECAC Hockey standings and was one of the top defensive teams in the conference. He was named an All-American that season and recorded the Bears' first shutout in four years.

In Laycock's senior season the team didn't see much success but he was still held in high regard. Laycock received two team awards, one for being the senior who had most improved over his career and another for academic excellence. After graduating with a degree in economics, Laycock played one game of professional hockey before retiring and beginning his career as an accountant. He wasn't completely through with the game, however, and appeared in senior hockey games in the 1980s. Laycock spent his professional career working for BDO Dunwody, eventually becoming a partner with the firm.

Laycock was inducted into the Brown athletic Hall of Fame in 1989.

title: Octatetraene

abstract: Octatetraene is a linear hydrocarbon consisting of a chain of eight carbon atoms linked by an alternating double-bond/single-bond pattern. The central two of the four alkene units can exhibit cis–trans isomerism, resulting in three isomers. The compounds are not in general of much commercial significance, but the octatetraene group has been studied in contexts in the physical chemistry of bonds, some aspect of which have relevance to cell membranes and some to the retinal chemistry of vision. The high degrees of symmetries and conjugation of bonds offer unusual aspects for study. Related structures occur in some molecules of biological importance, for example α-parinaric acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Derivatives include cyclic octatetraenes, such as cyclooctatetraene and 1,8-diphenyl-1,3,5,7-octatraene, some of which are of interest in special contexts.

The compounds are not in general of much commercial significance, but the octatetraene group has been studied in contexts in the physical chemistry of bonds, some aspect of which have relevance to cell membranes and some to the retinal chemistry of vision. The high degrees of symmetries and conjugation of bonds offer unusual aspects for study.

Related structures occur in some molecules of biological importance, for example α-parinaric acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Derivatives include cyclic octatetraenes, such as cyclooctatetraene and 1,8-diphenyl-1,3,5,7-octatraene, some of which are of interest in special contexts.

# Aberdare, Merthyr and Dowlais Miners' Association

The **Aberdare, Merthyr and Dowlais Miners' Association** was a trade union representing coal miners in part of Glamorgan in South Wales.

## Origins

There had been trade union activity in the area from the 1830s onwards and in 1857 a major dispute which became known as the Aberdare Strike occurred. However, there was little organization among the miners until the late 1860s when news of the formation of the Amalgamated Association of Miners (AAM) reached South Wales.

## Early history

In 1870, the miners of the Aberdare Valley, like other parts of south Wales, started to organize and demand a wage increase.

An Aberdare District of the AAM grew rapidly in the early 1870s. By April 1871 there were 3,000 members in and around Aberdare, 1,300 at nine lodges in Mountain Ash further down the valley and a further 1,000 in Merthyr. Two months later the combined membership in the Aberdare and neighbouring Rhondda valleys had reached 9,000. In February 1872 Thomas Halliday and Alexander Macdonald addressed a mass meeting at the Temperance Hall, Aberdare.

By 1873 the Aberdare District alone claimed 9,600 members. It survived the collapse of the AAM, affiliating for a short period instead to the Miners' National Union (MNU), but it dissolved before the end of the decade.

## Later history

In 1879, a meeting at the Bute Arms in Aberdare established a new union, which initially represented about 4,000 miners, with David Morgan initially acting as chairman, then from 1882 becoming its full-time agent. In about 1881, a Merthyr and Dowlais District of the MNU was created, and these merged in 1884, forming what soon became known as the "Aberdare, Merthyr and Dowlais Miners' Association". Its membership stood at around 8000 by 1885 but this was said to include only around 40% of the mining workforce in the area. Constant bickering between miners' leaders was regarded as a major obstacle to unity.

It membership stood at 7,000 members in 1892, but nearly collapsed in unsuccessful Welsh coal strike of 1898, membership falling to just 500.

Following the strike, the South Wales Miners' Federation (SWMF) was established, and it was decided to dissolve the union, instead establishing three districts of the SWMF, one each for Aberdare, Merthyr, and Dowlais.

# Mouse Models of Human Cancer database

The laboratory mouse has been instrumental in investigating the genetics of human disease, including cancer, for over 110 years. The laboratory mouse has physiology and genetic characteristics very similar to humans providing powerful models for investigation of the genetic characteristics of disease.

The **Mouse Models of Human Cancer database (MMHCdb)** is a unique, comprehensive online knowledgebase of mouse models of human cancer hosted by The Jackson Laboratory with funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). MMHCdb is part of the Mouse Genome Informatics consortium (MGI) and was first released in 1998 as the Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) database.

MMHCdb, in collaboration with EMBL-EBI, co-developed the PDCM Finder resource which serves as a global catalog of PDX models.

## Inbred Mouse Models

Inbred mouse strains are the result of at least 20 generations of successive brother/sister matings which lead to a population with minimal segregating genetic variation. Inbred strains of mice allow researchers to investigate the role that genetics plays in cancer susceptibility and treatment response. The first inbred strain, DBA (dilute brown agouti), was developed in 1909. Among the earliest references to the use of inbred mice in cancer was the observed susceptibility of the A family of inbred mice to spontaneous lung tumors. MMHCdb provides interactive graphical summaries of the characteristic cancers observed in over 700 different inbred mouse strains. Figure 1 shows one of these tools, the Tumor Frequency Grid, which displays the frequency of different types of tumors across different inbred strains.

## Genetically Engineered Mouse Models (GEMMs)

Molecular biology and genome editing technologies transformed the use of mice in cancer research by allowing researchers to develop animal models with specific mutations or that expressed human genes (transgenics). The genetic background of genetically modified animals can influence the observed phenotypes and must be taken into account when mouse models of human cancer are developed and when interpreting the data generated by these models. For example, transgenic mice on a mixed C57BL/6J and SJL background expressing human HRAS have a mammary gland carcinoma frequency of 45-50% whereas the same transgene expressed in FVB/N mice result in 100% of the animals having mammary gland carcinomas. MMHCdb provides search tools and displays to show the tumor frequencies of similar genetic modifications on different genetic backgrounds. Fig.2 shows the results of a search for lung adenocarcinomas with pathology images using the Advanced Search page and links to the results of that search.

## Patient Derived Xenograft models (PDX)

A Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX) is generated by the implantation of human tumor tissue in an immunodeficient or humanized host mouse strain. PDXs are a powerful pre-clinical model system for evaluating efficacy of cancer therapy. Most of the PDX models in MMHCdb are from xenografts in the immunodeficient NSG host strain (aka, NOD scid gamma; NOD.Cg-Prkdc\<scid\> Il2rg\<tm1\>Wjl/SzJ) mice developed at The Jackson Laboratory. MMHCdb allows researchers to search for PDX models by such parameters as cancer site, diagnosis, genomic properties of the engrafted human tumor, and model treatment response. Fig. 3 shows the output of a search for PDX models whose engrafted tumors have amplified KRAS, the TP53 A159V mutation, a deletion of the ALB gene, and high KIT expression.

MMHCdb and EMBL-EBI co-developed PDCM Finder, an searchable catalog of PDX models available from repositories around the world.

# Martin Elia Lomuro

**Martin Elia Lomuro** (born 28 December 1957) is a South Sudanese politician. Lomuro is currently the Minister of Cabinet Affairs in the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) as of 2022. He is also the leader of the National Agenda, a registered political party formally known as South Sudan Democratic Forum, SSSDF.

## Controversies

In June 2021 Lomuro's bank accounts with a Kenyan Bank, Cooperative Bank were frozen after he was accused by the Kenya's Assets Recovery Control of an alleged money laundering. But in September of the same year, a court in Nairobi lifted the freeze order after it found Elia was not involved in any form of money laundering.

He told a gathering at the launch of his wife’s clothing fashion brand at the Pyramid hotel in Juba in July that he did not corrupt money to help his wife set up a successful business firm bearing the trademark JENM that designs outfits for only women and children raising public suspicions.

Martin Elia Lomuro was part of a committee that extended South Sudan's transitional government by two years, claiming that the decision was taken "to address the challenges that impede the implementation of the peace agreement".

## Sanctions

Lomuro is currently on an international black list after the US imposed sanctions on him in December 2019. He together with the then Minister of Defense Kuol Manyang Juuk were accused by the US government for their role in perpetuating South Sudan's years-long conflict by obstructing the country's stalled peace process.

## Other Roles

Martin Elia Lomuro served as the minister of Animal Resource and Fisheries in the previous government of Southern Sudan before being appointed as the minister of cabinet affairs by president Salva Kiir

# Oasis (British TV series)

***Oasis*** is a short lived CITV drama series which was about a group of children who ran an inner city farm. It is best known for featuring John Simm and Dean Gaffney. It was set in a wasteland site in south London.

The drama series ran from 5 January to 9 March 1993 for 10 episodes, made by Zenith North, the team behind *Byker Grove* for Carlton; their first children's drama series for the ITV network.

## History

*Oasis* is Carlton Television's first significant television series for children and has 10 episodes. Barry Purchase, whose previous writing credits included *Tucker's Luck* and *Grange Hill*, is the *Oasis*'s writer. Produced by John Price, it was directed by Chris Clough and Joanna Hogg. Peter McNamara whose past roles have been the antihero or a goon, plays a completely different role as "a loveable down-and-out who becomes a kind of hero to local children he meets in an inner city wilderness". McNamara, who has asthma and a horse allergy, filmed multiple shots with the horses.

## Plot summary

Appalled by the animal cruelty, Jimmy Cadogan, a rodeo clown, leaves his job and directs his efforts towards starting a city farm that serves as a sanctuary for animals he saves. He works with a learned drifter and dropout, Posh Robert, and children to transform The Jungle, a South London wasteland, into a farm, against the wishes of the council and the antihero Bob Bulger.

* Kelly Frost - Skates

* Dean Gaffney \- Mickey Drake
* Daniel Brown - Georgie McNiven

## Reception

In a critical review, Pat Moore wrote in *The Stage*, "I hope this series will be popular with children because the plot seems plausible and city-kids can at least identify with the problem of having nowhere safe to play. Some of the older cast members do seem to be overacting, however, a fault I've noticed before in children's productions. Kids are far quicker at detecting a baddie or the untrustworthy than many adults, so snarling a lot just looks daft."

Maggie Drummond of *The Daily Telegraph* stated, "There is a sad lack of useful factual programmes for teenagers; even worse is the lack of drama redeemed only by the new 10-parter *Oasis* (Carlton) set in a south London wasteland inhabited by youngsters who behave like mini Arthur Daleys." *The Times*'s Melinda Wittstock called the television series "a ground-breaking children's drama".

title: Gozu Tennō

abstract: Gozu Tennō is a syncretic Japanese deity of disease and healing. Originally imported to Japan from mainland Asia, he was regarded since the Heian period both as a causer of and protector against epidemics and eventually became amalgamated with the native kami Susanoo during the medieval and early modern periods. During the Meiji period, when the government mandated the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, Shinto shrines dedicated to Gozu Tennō of the Gion cult tradition such as Yasaka Shrine in the Gion district of Kyoto or Tsushima Shrine in Tsushima, Aichi Prefecture or Hiromine Shrine in Hyōgo Prefecture officially reidentified their enshrined deity as Susanoo.

Originally imported to Japan from mainland Asia, he was regarded since the Heian period both as a causer of and protector against epidemics and eventually became amalgamated with the native *kami* Susanoo during the medieval and early modern periods. During the Meiji period, when the government mandated the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, Shinto shrines dedicated to Gozu Tennō of the Gion cult tradition such as Yasaka Shrine in the Gion district of Kyoto or Tsushima Shrine in Tsushima, Aichi Prefecture or Hiromine Shrine in Hyōgo Prefecture officially reidentified their enshrined deity as Susanoo.

## Overview

The origins and early development of the Gozu Tennō cult before it reached Japan, as well as the process of his amalgamation with other deities, are unclear and a matter of debate. One theory for instance claims that Gozu Tennō was originally a minor Buddhist deity regarded as the protector of the monastery (vihara) of Jetavana, with his Sanskrit name being reconstructed either as 'Gavagrīva' ("Ox-Necked") or 'Gośirsa Devarāja' ("Ox-Headed Divine King", a calque of 'Gozu Tennō'). From India, the deity's cult was supposedly transmitted to Japan via Tibet and China, where it was influenced by esoteric Buddhism and Taoism. Another theory proposes a Korean origin for the deity.

Gozu Tennō was historically identified with a number of deities, foremost among these being Susanoo, the impetuous storm god of classical Japanese mythology, and Mutō-no-Kami (武塔神), an obscure deity who appears in the legend of Somin Shōrai. The story relates that Mutō was a god from the northern sea who stayed at the house of a poor man named Somin Shōrai after Somin Shōrai's wealthy brother refused to give him lodgings. Mutō later provided Somin Shōrai's family a magical means to save themselves from future epidemics as a reward for their hospitality and slew the rich man who rejected him. The earliest extant version of this legend dating from the Nara period (surviving in an extract quoted in a medieval work) has Mutō revealing himself to be Susanoo, suggesting that the two deities were already being conflated during the 8th century, if not earlier. Sources that equate Gozu Tennō with Susanoo first appear during the Kamakura period (1185–1333), although one theory supposes that these three gods and various other disease-related deities were already loosely coalesced around the 9th century, probably around the year 877 when a major epidemic swept through Japan. In later versions of the Somin Shōrai legend, the deity in the story came to be identified as Gozu Tennō, who at this stage had become more or less synonymous with both Susanoo and Mutō (though one source instead applies the name 'Mutō' to Gozu Tennō's father).

The idea that Gozu Tennō had Korean roots stems in part from his association with these two gods. Mutō's name for instance is believed to derive from the Korean word *mudang*, "shamaness", while a story recorded in the *Nihon Shoki* (720 CE) claims that Susanoo, after his banishment from heaven, came down to a place called 'Soshimori' in the land of Silla and from there crossed the sea to Japan. Indeed, the epithet *gozu* ("ox-head(ed)") has been explained as being derived from 'Soshimori', here interpreted as a Korean toponym meaning "Bull's (*so*) Head (*mari*)".

## Iconography

Gozu Tennō was usually portrayed as a fierce-looking man with the head of an ox above his head. He is sometimes shown wielding an axe in one hand and a noose or lasso in the other, though other depictions may instead show him brandishing a sword or a halberd. He may be clad either in Indian-style garments, a suit of armor, or (rarely) in Japanese (Heian period) clothing. Some artworks might depict the deity with multiple arms and heads: a late Heian period statue in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture for instance shows him with three faces and four arms. Another statue in Tsushima, Aichi Prefecture depicts him with twelve arms, four heads (two fierce human heads each with a single horn, a horse's head, and an ox's head), and bird talons for feet. An ink drawing on a wooden panel (dating from 1490) which portrays the god with five heads is preserved in a temple in Konan, Shiga Prefecture.

Several early modern depictions of Susanoo identify the deity as Gozu Tennō and may even exhibit iconographic traits of the latter (e.g. the ox's head) such as the first two images in this article.

## Consort and offspring

The oldest version of the Somin Shōrai legend portrays the god Mutō as marrying the daughter of the god of the southern seas. In later forms of this story featuring Gozu Tennō, the princess is given the name Harisaijo (頗梨采女 or 波利采女, also known as 'Harisainyo' or 'Barisainyo') or 'Harisai Tennyo' (頗梨采天女) and is identified as the third daughter of the dragon (*nāga*) king Sāgara. As Gozu Tennō was amalgamated with Susanoo, Harisaijo was in turn identified with Susanoo's wife Kushinadahime. Harisaijo was also associated with the Onmyōdō goddess Toshitokujin (歳徳神), the presiding deity of the New Year.

Gozu Tennō is said to have had eight children with Harisaijo, collectively known as the 'Hachiōji' (八王子, lit. "Eight Princes"). These deities were amalgamated with both the Hasshōshin (八将神, "Eight Divine Generals"), the guardians of the eight directions in Onmyōdō, and eight of Susanoo's sons and daughters (Yashimajinumi, I(so)takeru, Ōya(tsu)hime, Tsumatsuhime, Ōtoshi, Ukanomitama, Ōyabiko, and Suseribime).

## Legacy

Hachiōji Castle, located in the city of Hachiōji (which gets its name from this castle) in western Tokyo, is named after Gozu Tennō's children. Legend states that a monk named Myōkō (妙行) had a vision of Gozu Tennō and the Hachiōji while meditating at the hill where the castle would later be built, Shiroyama (formerly also known as Fukazawayama), during the early 10th century.

**Prescott Farm** is a historic preservation of a colonial farm in Middletown (Newport County), Rhode Island. It spans 40 acres (16 ha), and was in danger of demolition before Doris Duke bought it in 1973 and began restoration of the historical site. Notable features of it include an operational windmill (c. 1812), British General Prescott's Guard House, a county store (c. 1715), and a University of Rhode Island Master Gardener project with the purpose of simulating a historical vegetable garden through careful research on what crops where grown during that time period. The farm itself is typical of the farms on Aquidneck Island.

## History

The farm was founded in the 18th century. According to some sources, it was originally named **Overing and Page Farm** in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, founded by brothers Thomas Nichols and Edmund Nichols in 1650. However, it seems that the two brothers moved to Newport in 1654, so it is not clear whether or not the two farms are the same. British General Richard Prescott occupied the farm prior to the Battle of Rhode Island. He was kidnapped there on July 9, 1777 by a small contingent Rhode Island militia and taken to Providence. Prescott was later exchanged for U.S. General Charles Lee. In 1973, Doris Duke's Newport Restoration Foundation purchased the land and opened it to the public. In 2007, the University of Rhode Island Master Gardeners began their project.

## Current status

While most of the farm is open to the public, certain properties are privately rented out and thus not accessible to the public. These include the Overing House and the Potter House (c. 1970). Prescott Farm's current attractions include showcased buildings, a pond, and several walking paths. The garden currently donates all of its produce to Lucy’s Hearth, a nearby women’s shelter.
