"Leroy Colbert (born May 9, 1933 NY, USA - died November 20, 2015 age 82) was an American bodybuilder. He is notable as being credited as the first man to develop 21" circumference arms. He was a traditionalist using full body workouts with a mini push/pull, where you a pushing exercises following by a pulling exercise. This also applied to legs don't do a quadricep exercise followed by another quadricep exercise. Leroy said you are not giving the muscle rest when you train it back to back. He and along with his friends such as Marvin Eder in their youth pioneered many of the principles bodybuilders today use. An example of these principles were the 21 curls where you do 7 curls to perpendicular, 7 curls perpidicular to chest and 7 full curls. Another example of Leroy's principle was the priority principle, where the muscle you train first will grow biggest because you put the most energy in the beginning of the workout. It was also to be paired with the saturation principle where the first exercise you do the most amount of sets to saturate it with blood. Lastly, Leroy and his friends also pioneered the tri and quadra sets in a Bicep,Tricep,Bicep....etc. style. His other training principles can be found on his channel. Colbert famously was wary of the worth of using steroids and never used the substance in an era where steroids had just started coming into bodybuilding. His views on steroids were formed in his later years as he was unaware of their effects in his youth and admits he would have used them had he not had his accident, stopping his competitive career. He started training age 10. In 2003 he was inducted into The IFBB Hall of Fame. He was the first black man on the cover of Muscle Power magazine. Colbert won only a few titles (Mr. New York City and Mr America East) but was famous for being on many covers of Weider magazines with his huge upper body development. His competitive career ended after a horrific motorbike accident nearly severing his foot. Motorbikes were his long life passion and this didn't stop him riding. After the accident he used his experience working in Weider's shipping warehouse to open a supplement store where he made a wealthy amount for himself. He was married three times. Colbert used a website and YouTube videos on Yorkieloverfitness in later life to export his extensive knowledge and over 60 years of experience to others and to protect people from the lies of the fitness and supplement industry.

"Ștefan Fălcoianu (June 6, 1835-January 22, 1905) was a Romanian army general who served as Chief of the General Staff and War Minister. Biography =Origins and early career= Fălcoianu family coat of arms Born in Bucharest, he belonged to a boyar family originating in Romanați County. His father Ioniță was a serdar, while his mother was Ralița Lipoveanu. He had a twin brother, Ioan, who became a mathematician.Repez, pp. 421-22 Ștefan was born second, making him the last of eight children. After completing secondary school in his native city, he entered its military officers' school in 1854 and graduated two years later.Repez, p. 422 His abilities during four years of training attracted notice, and, with the backing of domnitor Alexandru Ioan Cuza, he was sent to the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr. An assistant to Achille Baraguey d'Hilliers, he remained with the French General Staff until 1864, when he returned home with the rank of captain. Meanwhile, from 1862 to 1864, he attended the École Polytechnique in Paris.Repez, pp. 422-23 In 1865, he married the 16-year-old Alexandrina Bâscoveanu. Two of their four children died young; a daughter became lady-in-waiting to Queen Elisabeth, while a son was killed in action during World War I. Alexandrina died in 1870, aged 28; her widower hired Antoine-Augustin Préault to carve the gravestone at Bellu Cemetery. Within the Romanian Land Forces, Fălcoianu attained the following ranks: second lieutenant (1856), lieutenant (1860), captain (1862), major (1865), lieutenant-colonel (1868), colonel (1877), brigadier general (1883) and divisional general (1892). His first commanding role came from 1856 to 1859, when he led a platoon within a line infantry regiment.Repez, p. 423 After returning from France in 1864, he was named cabinet chief to War Minister Savel Manu. He taught at the military officers' school from 1864 to 1868. From 1866 to 1868, he was assistant to the chief of artillery emplacements and general staff chief of an infantry division. Sent to the reserves in early 1869, he was called back to active duty in a line regiment later that year. In 1872, he was again placed in reserve. =Civil servant and military leader= From 1870 to 1877, he was secretary general in the Ministry of Public Works, and headed the telegraph and post service from 1876 to 1877. In April 1877, during the preparations for the Romanian War of Independence, Fălcoianu was recalled to active duty, serving as director of the central war administration until October. From that point until the following July, he was Chief of the Romanian General Staff. He held this position twice more: from 1883 to 1884, and from 1886 to 1894, when he resigned from the army. He served as War Minister under Ion C. Brătianu from June 1884 to January 1886.Repez, p. 424 In October 1878, he was named Romania's representative to the commission charged by the Treaty of Berlin with dividing Dobruja between Romania and the Principality of Bulgaria. In 1880, he became the first director of Căile Ferate Române state railway carrier. He was involved in the company leadership until 1883, and again headed its administration from 1895 to 1899. During his time at the helm, Fălcoianu helped draft legislation on a unified structure for the rails and supervised the 1881 opening of the Buzău-Mărășești line. This was the first in the country built by domestic engineers, technicians and workers.Repez, p. 428 In 1883, he was Senator for Tecuci.Repez, pp. 424-25 As such, he repeatedly spoke of the need to increase the country’s defense capabilities, refuting the idea that the fortifications then under construction were useless. While Fălcoianu was in the army leadership, numerous reforms took place: four army corps were established at Bucharest, Craiova, Galați, and Iași between 1882 and 1884; work began on the fortifications of Bucharest and along the fortified Focșani-Nămoloasa-Galați line; and several high-level administrative posts were created, as well as the inspectors-general. The general staff was reorganized along the modern, Prussian model, also taking into account lessons learned in the independence war. In 1894, it became a special division within the War Ministry, directly subordinate to the minister.Repez, p. 426 The Higher War School opened in 1889, and Fălcoianu was its first commander.Repez, pp. 426-27 Under his orders, every summer between 1891 and 1894, officers from the school traveled to different sections of the border with Austria-Hungary in order to study their military potential.Repez, p. 427 =Publications and recognition= He authored several books on military theory and history: Explicări generale (1880), Răspuns (1889), Conferință asupra disciplinei, subordinațiunii și îndatoririlor ierarhice (1890), Despre scrisori și raporturi (1892) and Istoria Războiului din 1877–1878 ruso-româno-turc (1895). In 1891, he was among those who relaunched România Militară magazine, and in subsequent years helped ensure its continued printing. He was elected a titular member of the Romanian Academy in 1876, the first military figure so honored. Over the years, he led various of its working committees, served as its vice president from 1886 to 1888 and from 1898 to 1899, and was several times vice president of the scientific section between 1882 and 1905.Repez, pp. 428-29 Fălcoianu was awarded a number of orders and medals, including the Order of Osmanieh, third class (1878); the Benemerenti medal, first class; officer, Order of the Star of Romania (1878); grand officer, Order of the Crown; the gold Military Virtue Medal (1888); commander, Order of the Star of Romania (1888); grand cross, Order of the Crown (1891).Repez, p. 429 He died in Bucharest and was buried at Bellu Cemetery.Repez, p. 430 Notes References * Filofteia Repez, "Ștefan Fălcoianu – militar de seamă al Armatei Române și membru activ al Academiei Române", in Studii și comunicări, vol, VI/2013, pp. 421–30 1835 births 1905 deaths Military personnel from Bucharest Nobility from Bucharest École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr alumni École Polytechnique alumni Romanian Land Forces generals Romanian Ministers of Defence Romanian military personnel of the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) Chiefs of the General Staff of Romania Romanian civil servants Căile Ferate Române people Members of the Senate of Romania Titular members of the Romanian Academy Commanders of the Order of the Star of Romania Grand Crosses of the Order of the Crown (Romania) Recipients of the Benemerenti medal Burials at Bellu Recipients of the Military Virtue Medal "
"The consists of historical and existing pottery kilns in Japan and the Japanese pottery and porcelain ware they primarily produced. The list contains kilns of the post-Heian period. Not listed are ancient earthenware pottery such as Jōmon pottery, Yayoi pottery, Haji pottery, Sue pottery, Kamui ware, etc. which are general topics whose origins and production cannot be linked to just one specific kiln. Shimamono are objects that were imported from southeast Asia, but later produced locally as well. Mishima pottery despite its name is of Korean origin. Some of the existing kilns and the main ceramic wares have been designated by the government Agency for Cultural Affairs as an Intangible Cultural Property as regulated by the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties (1950). In addition the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has designated others as "traditional handicraft workshops". The criteria set by the ministry to be recognised as a are regulated by Law No. 57 on the Promotion of Traditional Craft Industries (1974), also known as the : #It is primarily a craft for everyday life usage #The manufacturing process has to be largely done manually #Has a history of over 100 years, with production continuing to use traditional technologies and techniques #The type of main raw material has remained the same for over 100 years. #Artisans producing the craft have to have a certain degree of scale to be counted as a regional industry Amongst the list are also the so-called attributed to Kobori Enshū during the Edo period, as well as the by Fujiyo Koyama during the Shōwa era. The listing follows a geographical arrangement from north to southern Japan. It is divided by regions, then prefectures, then within the prefectures in alphabetical order. Those designated by the government are in bold letters, those listed under Enshū are marked with a 7 and those by Koyama with a 6 sign in brackets.
