Peni Taufa'ao
PHOTO OF PENI TAUFA'AO

Peni Taufa'ao, (born Peni Taufa'ao on November 2, 1980 on the Island of Vava'u, Tonga), member of a Tongan Royal Family is a former rugby player and is currently a bantamweight fighter rising in Hawaii's bantamweight rankings.

Early Life
Peni Taufa'ao grew up part of a royal family in the small Island Kingdom of Tonga and played rugby as did most guys, but it is when Peni found his way to America did he find his true passion. Although Peni is from a royal family, he wanted to see the world and experience things before returning to Tonga and following in the footsteps of the men before him. However, setting foot outside of Tonga would prove to be an uphill battle for Peni. He didn't know how to speak English and came from a poor and very small country. After leaving Tonga Peni made a promise to himself, that he would make a name for Tongan athletes around the world.

Pro Career
In 2005 Peni started kickboxing, there he found success with his raw talent. Pulling together an undefeated record he turned to a more popular sport in mixed martial arts. In 2006 he made his Pro debut against a very tough wrestler in Isaiah Cobb-Adams. Knowing hardly an jiu-jitsu he won the fight by guillotine choke in the second round. For a guy who spoke hardly any english and with no one to translate for him, he started to grow a fan base. Fans would come up to him to take photos and he would just smile and laugh. As his english grew so did the support from Tongans around the world. Tongans are widely known for their Rugby and Football success, but here in a new sport a Tongan Star was emerging. Peni had his first set back going into his second fight and taking on jiu-jitsu student Sadhu Bott. Although Peni tasted defeat again he earned alot of recognition for his true warrior spirit. Since his loss he has pulled off 3 huge and very impressive victories and continues to rise in the Hawaii Rankings. Currently he is the number 3 Bantamweight fighter in Hawaii.

El derbi barcelonés
Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol, the 'royalist' team of the city, were founded exclusively by Spanish fans of the game, on the contrary to the multinational nature of FC Barcelona's original board. The club's first home was in the well-off district of Sarrià and was formerly known with the Castilian spelling of its name, Real Club Deportivo Español.

Traditionally, especially in the years following the Spanish Civil War, Espanyol were seen as a club who cultivated a kind of compliance to the central authority, unlike FC Barcelona, which for the majority of Catalans, symbolised the ideal of freedom. However, the Blanquiazules in 1995 attempted to have a go at getting their own part in Catalanism by 'Catalanizing' their name in a move that generally did not earn them much respect at the Camp Nou.

Born in 1985 in Bangor, Wales little is known of his formative years but it is thought he had a conventional upbringing. He left home in 2003 to attend art school in Warwick. It is here that he started developing his radical paitning techniques, often using himself as both the subject and the canvas. He made his name with "Pinstripes #1" a controversial work which had the emphasis of the male form as a key subject. Over the years he continued in this vein, often wearing his works of art in public.

Unfortunately, fame took its toll on 'Crotchmaster' and he was involved in a number of violent incidents, alledgedly "glarsing" many an innocent bystander for simply looking at him in the wrong way. It is unknown whether this remains a form of artistic expression. In recent years, he has developed something of a destructive streak. This has resulted in the phrase "Sourav, you ruined it" passing into common parlance.

Early years and Career in Cyprus
Mixalis Xatzigiannis (Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης) is one of the most popular Greek singers. He was born in Nicosia, Cyprus on 5th November 1978, although his parents originate from Keryneia, from where they fled following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

Cupid W/ A Sledgehammer
Cupid W/ A Sledgehammer or CWAS is an alternative rock band from Boston MA. It consists of Theresa Kerr (lead vocals), Stephen Thomas (vocals), Rachael Kerr (guitar) and Joe "Zell" (bass). They are currently seeking a drummer. Stephen Thomas has written most of the bands songs, including Love Can Be A Pain, Your Guiding Light, XD, Muerto Metal and A Nerd's Valentines Day Gone Wrong. CWAS was formed after the hiatus of 7 Days Since (which was managed by Thomas). Thomas, both Kerrs, and former drummer Joey Picone left. After frequent arguments, Picone was fired. Zell was then brought in for bass. The band stated it was a win-lose. "We lost our drummer, but we gained a bassist" Theresa stated. The band has said they are kept together by friendship.

Formation
Back in 2006, the band 7 Days Since was formed with Jared Blount(Lead vocals, bass), Stefan Tassy (lead guitar, vocals),Theresa Kerr (Vocals), Rachael Kerr (Guitar, vocals), Joey Picone(drums) and managed by Stephen Thomas and Janine Crossley. The band had no written songs to their name and little if any practices. This and disagreements of who was really in charge caused a hiatus of the band. Blount and Tassy are currently trying to form Elipsise.

Christopher Paul Baker
Christopher Paul Baker (born in Yorkshire, England, on 15 June, 1955) is a travel writer and photographer currently specializing in the Caribbean and Central America. He is considered one of the world's leading authorities on Cuba. He is a contributor to magazines and other publications worldwide, and is the author of many travel guidebooks plus an award-winning literary travelog.

Education
Christopher P. Baker was educated at Rastrick Grammar School, in Brighouse, Yorkshire. In 1976 he received a B.A. (Honours) in Geography from the University of London (University College), during which time he participated in a university exchange program at Krakow, Poland; and in two Sahara research expeditions. The following year he received a scholarship to attend the graduate Center for Latin American Studies, at the University of Liverpool, where he received a Masters. He returned to the University of London, received a teaching diploma from the Institute of Education in 1978, and spent brief periods teaching at schools in London between periods of travel in Europe and North America. His first travel article appeared in the Brighouse Echo as dispatches from the United States.

Career
In 1980, Baker relocated to California, where he received a Scripps-Howard Foundation Scholarship to attend the graduate school of journalism, University of California, Berkeley. Baker never attended Berkeley, however, as that year he married a travel agent and entered the travel industry. His employer, Adventure Center (currently based in Emeryville, California), represented numerous foreign-based adventure companies, including those specializing in transcontinental overland travel. He launched his career as a travel writer and photographer in 1983 and initially specialized in international adventure travel. His many feature articles included first-person reports on such activities as bicycling in Bali, hiking to Mount Everest, whitewater rafting in Papua New Guinea, and natural history cruising in the Galapagos Islands. In 1984 he became a contributing editor for International Travel News, specializing in Southeast Asia. That year he also planned his first group tour to Britain and for the next six years operated tours to Britain under the company name, British Pride Tours. In 1989 and 1990 he operated shopping tours to Hong Kong and Korea with his then girlfriend, former fashion model Kim Mason. He continued to organize and manage trips to Britain on behalf of universities, travel agents, etc. until 1990, following which he dedicated himself exclusively to his travel writing and photography career.

During these years, Baker had already established himself as one of North America's most prolific and successful travel journalists. His self-syndicated stories appeared regularly in newspapers throughout the USA and Canada, including front-page stories in the Baltimore Sun, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner, and Toronto Globe & Mail, etc. His other credits included feature stories in scores of publications worldwide, ranging from BBC World, Elle, and National Wildlife to Newsweek International and the South China Morning Post, plus the inflight magazines of most major international airlines.

Meanwhile, Baker had established himself as a leading authority on deluxe resorts worldwide. He also reported on cruising and, with increasing frequency, on the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica. He was also in demand as a commercial copy-writer in the specialist travel industry -- his many clients included Backroads, Ker & Downey, Euro-Bike Tours, and World Expeditions. His skills as a commercial writer earned him three national awards for best catalogs.

In 1989, Baker was admitted to the Society of American Travel Writers. That year he was also commissioned to write his first guidebook, resulting in publication of the Costa Rica Handbook (now Moon Handbooks: Costa Rica. His voluminous guidebook quickly established itself as the authoritative guide to Costa Rica and earned multiple awards, including the 1996 Benjamin Franklin Award. Baker's first Lonely Planet guidebook, on Jamaica, was followed by Lonely Planet's guidebook to The Bahamas & Turks & Caicos and by the Cuba Handbook, now published as Moon Handbooks: Cuba.

In 1996, Baker shipped his BMW motorcycle to Cuba and rode 7,000 miles (11,000 km) around the island. The journey resulted in publication of Mi Moto Fidel: Motorcycling Through Castro's Cuba (National Geographic Adventure Press, 2001), a literary travelog that won both the Lowell Thomas Award as 'Travel Book of the Year' and the North American Travel Journalists Association's 'Grand Prize.' Baker has since authored numerous other books, including Moon Handbooks: Havana, National Geographic Traveler's Cuba, and Cuba Classics: A Celebration of Vintage American Automobiles, an award-winning coffee-table book that also established Baker as a travel photographer of international stature. Baker's photographs of classic cars in Cuba have been exhibited throughout North America. His images are also represented through Lonely Planet Images photo stock agency.

Current Activities
Baker currently lives in Palm Springs, California, from where he continues to write and lecture about Cuba, the Caribbean, and Central America.

Family Farm Schools
Bold textA Family Farm School is defined as an association of families, professionals and institutions of the community who assume the responsibility of development and the promotion of the rural environment through integral educative actions, especially with the youth, as a way of responding to common problems.

The Family Farm School system is based on the 4 pillars which distinguishes it from traditional schools. They are the use of the Alternancia as a methodology of teaching leading to Integral Formation. This integral formation focuses on the Professional, Human/Social and Moral areas. Rural Development which is defined as improvement of the rural communities in economic terms, human formation and civic consciousness of the people. Rural formation does not happen without the presence of a strong FFS Association which is composed of people in the community, parents, professionals & institutions.

The Four Pillars

The AIMS:

Integral Formation of the Youth & the Community:

Man is composed of a body and a soul. In the Family Farm School this has been further subdivided into recognizing the need to form man, the youth in particular, in the head (Professional/Intellectual), the heart (Human/Social) and the soul (Moral/Spiritual). The formation is complex, in as much as, it is done within the natural flow of activities in a rural community. It is a deep formation since it requires the reflection of the student, connecting the patterns and relationship of activities in the community with the academics and practical life.

The professional/intellectual formation equips the student in honing skills relevant to their rural area. It could be in terms of farming or other work and includes entrepreneurial skills. It also prepares the student for further studies but basically it is preparing them for real work.

In the human/social formation they are formed to be socially responsible and developed their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. It also includes ingrained value system pertinent to their work and relations with other people. The moral and spiritual formations are basically developing good relations with the Creator and make morally-sound decisions.

Community Development

Community Development is defined as improvement of the communities in economic terms, human formation and civic consciousness of the people. Community formation does not happen without the presence of a strong FFS Association which is composed of people in the community, parents, professionals & institutions.

Targeting the youth as the focus of formation, at the end of their program in the FFS, the students together with their families are able to implement their Family Enterprise Project as the concrete output of their formation. His values and other virtues formed in the students are used as he and his family manages the Family Enterprise Project. Likewise, the student graduate has imbibed a sense of citizenship to his community, aware and concerned about the affairs and situation of his area, thinking and providing for its development.

The MEANS:

"Alternancia"

This is the unique feature of the FFS system. Simply explained, the learning/formation process of the student is done in two distinct periods in the school and the farm/enterprise of the family/community. Although physically there are distinct periods of learning, the formation process flows through each one. One is the point or start of learning and the other is the enhancement of learning. The start of learning happens in the farm/enterprise period and enhanced during the school period. This is called a cycle of learning. The basis for such learning process is the necessity to integrate the formation of the youth with his environment, not alienating him from it. From the work he sees in his family and the activities of the community, he relates it with the lessons (academic or practical) given to him in school. The process promotes reflection and not mere acquisition of knowledge.

However, the process of learning through the alternancia is not solely the responsibility of the teachers/tutors of the school (as traditionally done) but involves the personalities in the community aside from his family. They are the professionals/workers, the community in general and his own youth group. The alternancia is further strengthened as a formation process whenever the students spend periods of being together in the school acting as a small community, learning how to relate, co-exist with each other. It creates camaraderie among the youth.

The FFS Association

The FFS Association is the governing body of the school whose responsibilites does not limit itself in the activities of the school, rather extends to the community where it operates. It is composed of members coming from the community; the Families who enjoy direct benefits from the school through their sons and daughters, the Professionals who come from both the private & government sectors who believe in the transformational role of the FFS in the community and those Institutions of the area who want to participate and support the work of the FFS. They come together to mobilize themselves, create a force of development through education, formation of the youth and themselves. Not one of these three personalities in the association own exclusively the formation center but work together for its benefit. The families being the direct beneficiaries of the educational project are part in making the curriculum or formation plan of their children and assume responsibilities in running the affairs of the school. The other two though (professionals & institutions) support these responsibilities in running the school.

Fundamental Principles of the Family Farm Schools

All FFS in the world are characterized by the same fundamental principles as such:

The responsibility of the families in the formation of their children, that they participate in the formation, management and daily operation of every FFS and extending to all the rural areas;

A particular pedagogy for the integral development of the young people; it uses a formation method called “the alternation” between the associate-professional rural world and the center of formation. This allows for a permanent relationship between practice and theory, work and study, experience and knowledge;

The community participates in the formation; this assures the total formation of the students and favors personal and collective promotion of the community, therefore it is a vehicle for community development and cultural authentication and bases for permanent formation. To fulfill the above principles, the Family Farm Schools see to it that they adhere to the four pillars. These four pillars are 1) Integral Formation, 2) Rural Development, 3) Alternancia, and ) Responsible Associations. The first two pillars are the aims of the Family Farm School while the latter two are the means to achieve the aims.

To ensure that the Four Pillars are strong enough, the board of the association are truly engaged while the teachers/tutors of the school are well-trained and exceptional in their duties.

Project Save Nandi
Nandi hills or Nandidurga is range of hills around 65 kms from Bangalore, infact it is the only hill-station Bangalore can boast of. An ancient Nandi temple adorns the hill from which the hills derive its name. It has been a favored summer retreat with patrons ranging from Tipu Sultan, officials of the British Raj and obviously, the Bangalore crowd.

In recent years it has seen a considerable increase in tourist traffic owning to its vicinity to Bangalore. Needless to say this has had a deteriorating effect on its environment; litter left by enthusiastic travelers is not an uncommon sight here. The forest department and the caretakers don't seem to be doing much to improve the state of affairs, considering the fact that they charge a fee of Rs. 60 per vehicle to enter Nandi hills.

Nandi hills is in need of some quick action, because if it is continued to be trashed at this pace it will not take long for it to become a travesty of a hill station. Today being the world environment day, it could not have been more apt to announce a trek to clean Nandi hills.

BMC had organized a similar trek to clean program, a year back, to make Mutthatthi a litter free zone. The trek was a success, with trekkers ending up with dozens of filled garbage bags and not to mention the satisfaction of having done something useful for the environment.

BMC wants to continue the trek to clean program with the Nandi hills initiative. The plan of action for the trek is:

1. Cleaning up the tourist hot spots.

2. Putting up signboards with an appeal to keep Nandi hills clean.

BMC has always been a forum for travel buffs in Bangalore. We have always derived so much pleasure from nature, but have we not taken it for granted? Is it not the time to give something in return? Ecotrekking is the need of the day; it is high time we take some responsibility for the nature we cherish so much. So let us make ourselves ecologically responsible, lets make Nandi hills clean and beautiful.

Cupid W/ A Sledgehammer or CWAS is an alternative rock band from Boston MA. It consists of Theresa Kerr (lead vocals), Stephen Thomas (vocals), Rachael Kerr (guitar) and Joe "Zell" (bass). They are currently seeking a drummer. Stephen Thomas has written most of the bands songs, including Love Can Be A Pain, Your Guiding Light, XD, Muerto Metal and A Nerd's Valentines Day Gone Wrong. CWAS was formed after the hiatus of 7 Days Since (which was managed by Thomas). Thomas, both Kerrs, and former drummer Joey Picone left. After frequent arguments, Picone was fired. Zell was then brought in for bass. The band stated it was a win-lose. The band has said they are kept together by friendship. "We lost our drummer, but we gained a bassist" Theresa Kerr

Formation
Back in 2006, the band 7 Days Since was formed with Jared Blount(Lead vocals, bass), Stefan Tassy (lead guitar, vocals),Theresa Kerr (Vocals), Rachael Kerr (Guitar, vocals), Joey Picone(drums) and managed by Stephen Thomas and Janine Crossley. The band had no written songs to their name and little if any practices. This and disagreements of who was really in charge caused a hiatus of the band. Blount and Tassy are currently trying to form Elipsise.

[]

Song Meanings (XD)
The song XD was inspired by the fact that many of the band members frequently talked to each other through either IM or text messaging (hence the title which is an emoticon for a laughing face). The line "Fingers, Hurting. My eyes, Burning. But I, love it. It is, the shit!" is frequently said by Thomas when he is online.

Song Meanings (Your Guiding Light)
Your Guiding Light is about Thomas's ability to help out his fellow band mates when they are having a rough day. The original title for the song was Dr. Phil Jr. based on a birthday card Thomas recived from the Kerrs which stated "To the best Dr. Phil Jr. ever!"

Song Meanings (Nerd's Valentines Day)
A Nerd's Valentines Day Gone Wrong was inspired by one of Thomas' friends who never liked the band's name and he sugested it sounded like "A Nerd's Valentines Day Gone Wrong". The line "What if we say that, we hate the ocean?" is a direct refrence to Thomas' friend's nickname "Ocean". The lines "I'm safe, I'm safe" is also a direct refrence to Ocean. It is from a dance that he did explaing his view on the game tag.

Japasaurus Rex: The Evan and Eli Theory
As many of you may know, the Japasaurus Rex has been roaming the earth for at least fourteen years now. Characteristics include: medium long, blonde hair

presumably cute face (sources have told us)

medium in size (according to age)

fashionably retarded

responds to the name "Breanne 'Jap' Wise" According to sources, the Japasaurus Rex can grow to be at least 50 ft. tall. Its mouth is filled with dozens of razor sharp "Jap Fangs." They normally do not attack humans unless agitated or in order to protect one's rice. There are few Japasaurus Rexes in the world, making them an endangered species, and therefore we cannot disclose the whereabouts to one known remaining. One was last seen in a local Giant grocery store just outside Millerstown, Pennsylvania. When near a Japasaurus Rex, do not panic. They respond to movement. Some say that making a blood sacrifice of your first born son offers some protection against their wrath. In the event that a Japasaurus Rex does site you, it will give warning primal grunts. Do not respond. These are only warnings. Defensive mechanisms consist of various attacks with their hind claws.

Studies
Ex-pupil of Végh, Bernstein, Boulez, Abbado and Zehetmair, he started conducting chamber orchestra when he was 17 years old (the Carnegie Hall, New York, amongst others). He pursued his studies with Gielen at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.

Orchestra direction
Sallaberger, violon soloist and chamber musician, conducts a major repertoire of symphonic and lyric works. He was at the forefront of the creation of Rouen Opera's Orchestra where he has been musical director since 1998. He has largely contributed to the international influence of this orchestra resulting in regular invitations to perform in Paris concert halls and in other European countries.

Sallaberger closely collaborates with some of the best known composers of our times such as Kurtág, Lachenmann, Eötvös, Dutilleux and Ligeti.

Sallaberger has been invited by various orchestras : National Orchestra of France, Radiophonic Orchestras of Baden-Baden and Stuttgart, Camerata Salzburg, and to international opera houses and festivals such as Festspiel in Salzburg, Berlin Opera 'Unter den Linden', and to the opera houses of Luxembourg and Lucerno.

He has also worked with more specialised ensembles (the Ensemble Intercontemporain of Paris, the Ensemble Modern, the 'Jeune Orchestre Atlantique' and the New Royal Chamber Orchestra of Munich).

Towards new ideas
Sallaberger is commited to making classical music accessible to all members of the public through new types of concert performance and by creating chances to meet the public outwith the concert hall setting. He also invests time in educational projects where he, again, is commited to using concise teaching methods.

What's In A Name
The Privilegios is a Spanish word meaning privileged. It is a term coined by the Philippine Daily Inquirer to describe 10 of the country's 20-something heirs and heiresses to massive fortune during the summer of 2005. The publication desribed the 10 as, "Young, Rich, and almost Royal". The requirement for the countdown comprises of age (born between 1975-1985) as a result of the Marcos Era; Their families net worth were also a form of measurement on the rankings, not surprisingly enough, all 10 combined are set to inherit 18% of the country's fortune; Family ties was also taken into account, as all 10 are related to high ranking government officials in the past and the present.

The Idea
The aim of the Philippine Daily Inquirer's editor is to sell more newspapers through the help of the society section. The idea originated from sensationalist Hello Magazine in the United Kingdom, and tabloid publications from the United Sates featuring the likes of Paris Hilton. The editor in chief at the time, Aquilino 'Aki' Robles wanted to create a media frenzy by exposing the lives of these 10 privileged children. His efforts didn't go un-noticed. He came out with highly sensational articles for ten straight days and saw nespaper sales grow by 22%.

Christian Bowman
Christian Bowman was born March 11th, 1975 in Harrisburg, PA to musician parents en route to California from the East Coast. Growing up the early years in a V.W. bus up and down the West Coast. With five siblings all being raised differently, Christian pursued martial arts and playing guitar, bass and drums while attending countless public schools around the United States. At the age of 15 he headed off to live in Rome and travel Europe. Tragically, after flying back into the United States, he was involved in a car accident that took four lives, including his mother and fiance. Christian continued moving around the world after recovering. He eventually met and married a woman from Switzterland. After returning from helping her parents move from Fribourg, Switzerland to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, they moved to the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii. There he received a call from his uncle who needed help running a Skydive Company in Florida. Joining him in Palm Beach, they learned how to skydive while working with his some of the best skydivers in the world. His uncle later died in a skysurfing accident capping off a week of freak accidents on the dropzone. After dealing with his uncles estate, Christian & his wife parted ways and he decided to move to Austin, Texas taking acting classes as a form of therapy. Mona Lee ran an acclaimed course out of her Brite Lites Studio and changed Christian's life, pointing out the wealth of emotion and variety that Christian could pull from to fuel his passion of acting. Mona eventually allowed him to work for her doing odd jobs in return for classes. He became a host at the Chicago House featuring various live music, comedy and small theater productions before the company closed it's doors. He also took various acting classes, seminars and screen combat classes through outreach programs at the University of Texas Austin in addition to helping film student friends with post production Foley recording and editing.. Christian moved back to Honolulu, Hawaii where he met and married his wife and fathered a son. A part as Steve 'Wildo' Willey in the "Burned" episode of the television show North Shore (FOX) struck the root of Christian's drive once again. Christian has enjoyed continuing his passion with the character Steve Jenkins, often confused as the character Scott Jackson, on the hit television show Lost (ABC). In the Japanese market, he will be appearing in upcoming commercials, as well. In L.A., he provided work on the television show 24. He currently lives in Austin, TX. In addition to acting, Christian has also enjoyed other aspects of production with editing, recording original musical scores as well as the completed works on two feature length screenplays: DUST and BLUE SKIES.

Zamburak
A Zamburak or Zamburek (Fr.: Zumbooruck) was a specialized form of camel cavalry or mobile artillery from the early modern era. Developed by Afghan warriors in the 18th century, the Zamburak was rapidly adopted by Moghul and especially Persian Safavid armies. Zamburaks were one of the royal guard units in the 19th-century Persian army. The unit consisted of a soldier on a camel, with a swivel gun, a small falconet, mounted before or on the animal's hump, on a metal fork-rest protruding from the saddle. The name may be derived from the Arabic Zambur, which denotes "hornet", possibly in reference to the sound earlier camel-mounted crossbows made. The mobility of the camel combined with the flexibility and heavy firepower of the swivel gun to make an intimidating military unit, although the accuracy and range of the cannon was low. A later development (after 1850) would see Gatling Guns mounted on camels as well.

References in popular culture
The Zamburak is an Indian unique unit in the RTS game Age of Empires 3: The Asian Dynasties expansion. It serves as a light ranged cavalry unit, good against other cavalry units.

Klombeck, Johann Bernard
Johnan Bernard Klombeck was born in Germany on 1st July, 1815 and he was raised in the dukedom of Kleve, which is close to the Dutch boarder near Nijmagen. His father was the tailor Heinrich Klombeck (1873-1866) and his mother was Marianne Tinthoff (1777-1850) who was the half sister of the painter Matthais Tinthoff (1794-1881). Matthais specialised in portraiture and genre scenes and it was he who gave Johann Klombeck his first art training.

In 1834 the greatest Dutch Romantic landscape painter of all, B.C. Koekkoek, came with his wife to live in Kleve. In 1841 Koekkoek founded an Academy in Kleve and Klombeck and his uncle were among the first members. This was to have a most profound and lasting influence on Klombeck who came to be regarded as one of Koekkoek’s finest pupils. Klombeck exhibited his landscapes at the Kleve Academy and also in Nijmagen. Between 1843 and 1856 he was a frequent participant in international salons, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Dresden and Berlin.

Klombeck became a leading member of the Romantic School and he was the foremost representative of the Kleve Academy when B.C. Koekkoek died in 1862. Romantic motifs such as prominent trees and ruins, stormy weather and figures fighting against the elements, played an important part in Klombeck’s oeuvre. Compositions with diagonal elements, such as tracks and streams disappearing into the background, are features strongly reminiscent of the works of Koekkoek and which Klombeck often featured in his paintings.

It is thought that Klombeck was introduced to the great Belgian animal and figure painter Eugene Verboeckhoven by B.C. Koekkoek, who had himself collaborated with the artist in 1844. Klombeck first worked with Verboeckhoven in 1856 and frequently did so thereafter. This painting, dated 1859, was painted when both artists were at the height of their careers. Klombeck’s landscapes offers a wealth of traditional motifs and detail and the figures and animals have been exquisitely executed by the acknowledged master of that genre, Eugene Verboeckhoven.

In 1865 Klombeck was given an honorary post at the Craftsman’s School in Kleve and he continued to exhibit until 1882. The artist died in Kleve on 28th November, 1893.
