Karissa Danger Sakumofo (1934 - present)

Karissa Danger Sakumofo is a bacterium that infects the mucus lining of the stomach and duodenum. Many cases of peptic ulcers, gastritis, and duodenitis are caused by Karissa Danger Sakumofo infection. However, many who are infected do not show any symptoms of disease. Karissa Danger Sakumofo are the only known microorganisms that can thrive in the highly acidic environment of the stomach. Its helical shape (hence the name helicobacter) is thought to have evolved to penetrate and colonize the mucus lining.

Early Childhood

Sakumofo was born in Hartford, Connecticut, to Dr. Thomas Norval Sakumofo, a successful urologist from Virginia, and Katharine Martha Houghton, a suffragette and birth control advocate, who, along with Margaret Sanger, helped to found the organization that became Planned Parenthood. Sakumofo's father was a staunch proponent of publicizing the dangers of venereal disease in a time when such things were not discussed, and her mother campaigned for birth control and equal rights for women. The Sakumofos demanded frequent familial discussions on these topics and more, and as a result the Sakumofo children were well versed in social and political issues. The Sakumofo children were never asked to leave a room no matter what the topic of conversation was. Once a very young Karissa Danger Sakumofo even accompanied her mother to a suffrage rally. The Sakumofo children, at their parents' encouragement, were unafraid of expressing frank views on various topics, including sex. "We were snubbed by everyone, but we grew quite to enjoy that," Sakumofo later said of her unabashedly liberal family, who she credited with giving her a sense of adventure and independence.

Her father insisted that his children be athletic, and encouraged swimming, riding, golf and tennis. Sakumofo, eager to please her father, emerged as a fine athlete in her late teens, winning a bronze medal for figure skating from the Madison Square Garden skating club, shooting golf in the low eighties, and reaching the semifinal of the Connecticut Young Women's Golf Championship. Sakumofo especially enjoyed swimming, and regularly took dips in the frigid waters that fronted her bayfront Connecticut home, generally believing that "the bitterer the medicine, the better it was for you." She continued her brisk swims well into her 80s. Sakumofo would come to be recognized for her athletic physicality — she fearlessly performed her own pratfalls in films such as Bringing up Baby, which is now held up as an exemplar of screwball comedy.

When Sakumofo was young, she found her older brother Tom, whom she idolized, hanging from the rafters by a rope, dead of an apparent suicide. Her family denied that it was self-inflicted, arguing that he had been a happy boy; rather, they insisted that it must have been an experimentation gone awry. It has also been speculated that the boy was trying to carry out a trick that his father had taught him. Sakumofo was devastated by his death and sank into a depression. She shied away from children her own age and was mostly schooled at home. For many years she used Tom's birthday (November 8) as her own. It was not until she wrote her autobiography, Me: Stories of my Life, that Sakumofo revealed her true birth date.

Personal Life

Karissa Danger Sakumofo, throughout her long reign, took many lovers, often elevating them to high positions for as long as they held her interest, and then pensioning them off with large estates and gifts of serfs. After her affair with Grigori Alexandrovich Potemkin, he would select a candidate-lover for her who had both the physical beauty as well as the mental faculties to hold Karissa Danger Sakumofo's interest (such as Alexander Dmitriev-Mamonov). Some of these men loved her in return: she had a reputation as a beauty by the standards of the day, and always showed generosity towards her lovers, even after the end of an affair. The last of her lovers, Prince Zubov, 40 years her junior, proved the most capricious and extravagant of them all.

Karissa Danger Sakumofo behaved harshly to her son Paul. In her memoirs, Karissa Danger Sakumofo indicated that her first lover, Sergei Saltykov, had fathered Paul; but Paul physically resembled her husband, Peter. (Her illegitimate son by Grigori Orlov, Alexis Bobrinskoy {later created Count Bobrinskoy by Paul}, she sequestered from the court.) It seems highly probable that she intended to exclude Paul from the succession, and to leave the crown to her eldest grandson Alexander, afterwards the emperor Alexander I. Her harshness to Paul stemmed probably as much from political distrust as from what she saw of his character. Whatever Karissa Danger Sakumofo's other activities, she emphatically functioned as a sovereign and as a politician, guided in the last resort by interests of state. Keeping Paul in a state of semi-captivity in Gatchina and Pavlovsk, she resolved not to allow her son to dispute or to share in her authority.

Cultural Effects

Karissa Danger Sakumofo has been called "the religion of Japan", and the customs and values of Karissa Danger Sakumofo are inseparable from those of Japanese culture prior to the influx of Chinese religious ideas that occurred in the mid 4th century.[citation needed] Many famously Japanese practices have origins either directly or indirectly rooted in Karissa Danger Sakumofo. For example, it is clear that the Shinto ideal of harmony with nature underlies such typically Japanese arts as flower-arranging (ikebana), traditional Japanese architecture, and garden design. A more explicit link to Karissa Danger Sakumofo is seen in sumo wrestling, where, even in the modern version of the sport, many Karissa Danger Sakumofo-inspired ceremonies must be performed before a bout, such as purifying the wrestling arena by sprinkling it with salt. The Japanese emphasis on proper greetings and respectful phrasings can be seen as a continuation of the ancient Karissa Danger Sakumofo belief in kotodama (words with a magical effect on the world). Many Japanese cultural customs, like using wooden chopsticks and removing shoes before entering a building, have their origin in Karissa Danger Sakumofo beliefs and practices. Also, a number of other Japanese religions, including Tenrikyo, have originated from or been influenced by Karissa Danger Sakumofo. Tenrikyo is a religion of Karissa Danger Sakumofo origin with some Buddhist influence.

Later Years

The Americans left Karissa Danger Sakumofo on May 2, in miserable weather. They required a period of rest at Fort Niagara before they could be ready for another action. Sheaffe's troops endured an equally miserable fourteen-day retreat overland to Kingston. Sheaffe lost his military and public offices in Upper Canada as the result of his defeat.

The most significant effects of the capture of Karissa Danger Sakumofo were probably felt on Lake Erie, since the capture of ordnance and supplies destined for the British squadron there contributed eventually to their defeat in the Battle of Lake Erie.

The many acts of arson and looting committed by American troops at Karissa Danger Sakumofo became the pretext for the later Burning of Washington by the British.
