(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Cecil John Rhodes (July 5, 1853 - March 26, 1902) was a British emperialist entrepreneur, now remembered as an exploiter of southern Africa's natural resources and the effective founder of the state of Rhodesia, named after himself. Rhodesia, after a long armed resistance campaign by African nationalist liberation movements (ZAPU and ZANU), became an independent African state in 1980 under its current modern name, Zimbabwe ("the big house of stone"), after the ancient city, the Great Zimbabwe.
Rhodes was born in Bishop's Stortford, the son of a vicar, and travelled to South Africa as a young man for the benefit of his health. He soon began making a profit off mining the Kimberley diamond mines, and he formed his own company, De Beers Consolidated Mines in 1888.
Some of his biographers have speculated that Rhodes, who never married, was homosexual. He employed a number of strong young male companions, ostensibly as bodyguards and secretaries. His correspondance reveals that he had close emotional relations with these young men and was often devastated when they married. Researchers agree, however, that Rhodes does not have seem to have explored or even been conscious of this sexual orientation, a fact that is not surprising in a man who took Victorian values so seriously.
On his return to England, he studied at Oriel College, Oxford, but was obliged to return to a better climate and went into politics, becoming a member of the Cape House of Assembly. By 1890 he was Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. He also became managing director of the South Africa Company which administered a territory roughly equivalent to present-day Zimbabwe. He resigned as Prime Minister in 1896, following the outcry over the "raids" into Transvaal by his friend Dr. Leander Starr Jameson.
Although he remained a leading figure in the politics of southern Africa, especially during the Boer War, he was dogged by ill-health throughout his relatively short life. As a result of his will, the Rhodes Scholarships, which enable foreign nationals to study at Oxford, came into being.

(This article is about the Greek island of Rhodes. For other uses, see Rhodes (disambiguation).)
Rhodes is a Greek island that lies to the south-east of the Greek mainland, approximately midway between the mainland and the island of Cyprus. Historically, it was known for its Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
History
The island was inhabited in the Neolithic period, although little remains of this culture. In the 16th century BC the Minoans came to Rhodes, to be followed in the 15th century by the Achaeans. It was, however, in the 11th century that the island started to flourish, with the coming of the Dorians. It was the Dorians who later built the three important cities of Lindos, Ialysos and Kamiros, which together with Kos, Cnidus and Halicarnassus (on the mainland) made up the so-called Dorian Hexapolis.
Invasions by the Persians eventually overran the island, but after their defeat by the forces from Athens in 478 BC, the cities joined the Athenian League. When the Peloponnesian War broke out in 431 BC, Rhodes remained largely neutral although it was still a member of the League. The war lasted until 404 BC, but by this time Rhodes had withdrawn entirely from the conflict and had decided to go her own way.
In 408 BC the cities united to form one territory, and built a new capital on the northern end of the island, Rhodes. However the Peloponnesian War had so weakened the entire Greek culture that it lay open to invasion. In 357 BC the island was conquered by Mausolus of Halicarnassus, then fell to the Persians 340 BC. But their rule was also short and Rhodes became a part of the growing empire of Alexander the Great in 332 BC after he defeated the Persians, to the great relief of the citizens of Rhodes.
With the death of Alexander his generals fought for control. Three of them, Ptolemy, Seleucus, and Antigonus, succeeded in dividing the kingdom among themselves. Rhodes formed strong commercial ties with the Ptolemies in Egypt, and together they formed the Rhodo-Egyptian alliance which controlled trade throughout the Aegean in the 3rd century BC. The city developed into a maritime, commercial and cultural center and its coins were in circulation almost everywhere in the Mediterranean. Its schools of philosophy, literature and rhetoric were famous.
In 305 BC, Antigous had his son besiege Rhodes in an attempt to break the alliance. After a year they gave up and signed a peace agreement in 304 BC, leaving behind a huge store of military equipment. The Rhodians sold the equipment and used the money to erect a statue of their sun god, Helios, the statue now known as the Colossus of Rhodes.
In 164 BC, Rhodes signed a treaty with Rome, and became a major schooling center for Roman noble families. At first the state was an important ally of Rome and enjoyed numerous privileges, but these were later lost in various machinations of Roman politics. Cassius eventually invaded the island and sacked the city.
In the 1st century AD, Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. In 297, the long Byzantine period began for Rhodes, when the Roman empire was split and the eastern half became a Greek empire. Although part of Byzantium for the next thousand years, it was nevertheless repeatedly attacked by various forces.
In 1309 the Byzantine era came to an end when the island was taken by forces of the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of the newly named Knights of Rhodes, the city was re-built into a model of the European mediaeval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments, including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built in this period.
The strong walls which the Knights had built withstood the attacks of the Sultan of Egypt in 1444 and of Mehmed II in 1480. Finally, however, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in 1522. The few remaining Knights fled to Malta.
In 1912, Rhodes was seized from the Turks by the Italians, and in 1948, together with the other islands of the Dodecanese was united with Greece. It thus bypassed many of the events associated with the "exchange of the minorities" of Greece and Turkey.

A Rhodes piano is a musical instrument. It is technically an "electric piano", rather than a synthesizer. Its distinctive sound has appeared particularly in jazz and rock songs of the last fifty years.The Rhodes piano was invented in the 1940s by Harold Rhodes, and its principles are derived from both the celesta and the electric guitar. The action is similar to that of a conventional piano, but whereas in a conventional piano each key causes a felt-covered hammers to strike a set of strings, in a Rhodes piano they strike a tuning fork-like construction to sound the note.
The tuning forks themselves are "unbalanced" or asymmetrical: one arm consists of a short, stiff metal rod (essentially a stiff wire) called a "tine" which is struck by the hammer, and the other arm is a tuned resonator resembling a piece of metal bar stock, sized to sound the appropriate note. The actual sounded note is too soft to be practical, so each tine vibrates in front of an electric-guitar-style magnetic pickup. The pickups' output is fed to an amplifier which can be adjusted to produce the desired volume.
The sound produced has a bell-like character not unlike a celesta or glockenspiel. Because the instrument produces sound electrically, the signal can be processed to yield many different timbral colors. Often the signal is processed through a "delay" or "chorus" effects box, which adds a distinctive vibrato similar to a vibraphone; it is this "rounded" or chiming sound that is most typically called a classic Rhodes sound. When notes are played forcefully, the sound becomes less sweet, as nonlinear distortion creates a characteristic "growling" or "snarling" overload -- skilled players can contrast the sweet and rough sounds to create an extremely expressive perfomance.
The Rhodes was particularly popular during the 1960s and 1970s, and many of its signature songs date from this period: "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, "Still Crazy After All These Years" by Paul Simon, "Dark Star" by Crosby, Stills and Nash, or the theme from "Taxi" by Bob James.
The Fender Guitar Company bought the Rhodes company in the 1950s, and produced the instruments for many years, in conjunction with Fender-designed amplifiers. The instrument is thus often termed a "Fender Rhodes" though purists prefer simply "Rhodes." The actual instruments are more rare in latter days: they are fragile, heavy, and tedious to tune. All modern synthesizers contain built-in "electric piano" patches that approximate the signature Rhodes sound with considerably more convenience.
