paragraph: The Tongue

paragraph: Xannon Shirley, better known by the stage name The Tongue, is a musical artist from Sydney, Australia. He has released two EPs ("Bad Education" and "Victorious Remixes"), four albums ("Shock And Awe", "Alternative Energy", "Surrender To Victory" and "Hard Feelings") and three mixtapes ("Redux", "The Tongue Is Dead" and "The Sextape").

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The Tongue is a MC/songwriter from Newtown, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: Tongue is especially known for his live freestyle ability. He represented Australia in the "Battle 4 Supremacy" competition/DVD against New Zealand in 2005 and won the Revolver MC battle the same year. Tongue's songs have been placed on rotation by national Australian youth broadcaster Triple J.

paragraph: Tongue was signed by independent Sydney record label Elefant Traks following the submission of the "Bad Education" EP to the Marrickville-based label—the EP was a result of the Revolver victory and featured the production skills of the Bag Raiders (Jack Glass and Chris Stacey), who were former schoolmates of the MC.

paragraph: In 2009 Tongue hosted the "Elefant Traks 10th Anniversary Party Live" DVD that was released nationally the same year. The MC also performed the songs "Bad Education", "The Punch", "The Blues" and "The Real Thing" at the anniversary event.

paragraph: As of May 2013, Tongue has released an EP and three albums. His second album "Alternative Energy" features production from El Gusto (Hermitude) and M-Phazes, while his third album "Surrender To Victory" was solely produced by Cam Bluff from Queensland, Australia. Tongue has also released three free mixtapes in the years 2008, 2009 and 2011.

paragraph: The Tongue's third album entitled "Surrender to Victory", would officially be released on 29 March 2013. The release of a single, entitled "Drums", preceded the album release date and a promotional video was published on the label's YouTube profile. Filmed by Benny Edwards and edited by Frank Meets Wolf, the video contains visual segments that assert that Tongue is one of Australia's most respected MCs and that "Surrender to Victory" is the "album of his career". The video also reveals that the album was produced by Cam Bluff and features Suffa from the Hilltop Hoods.

paragraph: The first instalment of a 15-part web video series was published on 12 March 2013 and is described as "a little insight into his new album"—the series was directed by Luke Bouchier. "Surrender To Victory" was recorded over a three-month period and involved a single producer, in contrast to the multiple producers that were involved with the previous two albums.

paragraph: Following the release of "Surrender To Victory", Tongue revealed that his intention from the outset of his musical career was to release at least three albums; when asked if the third album is his last as "The Tongue", he replied: "If I was gonna do another album it would be with Cam [Bluff], for sure. Basically I’m gonna see how this tour goes, it’s been a while since I went on tour, and if I get to the end of this tour and feel like there are enough people out there that get what I’m doing, then I’ll get straight into doing the next album.” In early May 2013, the MC announced a national Australian tour in support of the third album that will be undertaken over June and July 2013.

paragraph: The official music video for the song "Australian Dreaming" from "Surrender to Victory" was produced by the LESMEC company, the video features Tongue in a variety of roles, including a street-based sex worker, a police officer, and a drug dealer.

paragraph: In 2016, The Tongue parted ways with Elefant Traks.

paragraph: Naihe

paragraph: Naihe (died 1831) was the chief orator and councilor during the founding of the Kingdom of Hawaii. A champion athlete in his youth, he negotiated for peace at several critical times and helped preserve the remains of several ancient leaders.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: His father was Keawe-a-Heulu, chief legal counselor of Kamehameha I.

paragraph: His mother was High Chiefess Ululani of Hilo.

paragraph: His sister Keohohiwa would be great grandmother of two future monarchs.

paragraph: Literally "nā ihe" can mean "many spears" in the Hawaiian language,

paragraph: or "to have authority with a calm and quieted spear".

paragraph: His authority came because he could settle conflicts with appeals to justice that were sharper than physical weapons.

paragraph: Some early writers spell his name "Nahi", or call him "Naihe-Haiha" or "Naihenui".

paragraph: Naihe was known as a champion athlete and surfer in his early life. Historical chants and stories describe his surfing skill at Kahaluu Bay and Holualoa Bay, and of a contest in Hilo when the other chiefs were envious of his abilities.

paragraph: He took Kamehameha I to his mother's district of Hilo to move the "Pohaku Naha", an enormous sacred stone that demonstrated Kamheameha's strength and power. He probably traveled along with Kamehameha during his conquest of the other islands, learning from his father how to give inspiring speeches to the troops.

paragraph: Section::::Kingdom established.

paragraph: After the successful campaign to establish the Kingdom by the beginning of the 19th century, he settled down to what he hoped would be a quiet life with his wife Chiefess Kapiolani at Kaawaloa, at the north end of Kealakekua Bay starting about 1809. He served as magistrate of the south Kona district.

paragraph: The quiet was going to be interrupted with a year of great change in 1819 when King Kamehameha I died. Queen Kaahumanu declared the old traditions known as kapu were no longer in effect.

paragraph: In November 1819 Keaoua Kekuaokalani gathered followers of the old ways to Kaawaloa and threatened a rebellion.

paragraph: Hoapili and Naihe were sent to negotiate. Although Naihe respected the old traditions, he urged peace. At first, Keaoua sounded convinced, but the next morning the troops met in the battle of Kuamoo, and the rebellion was violently put down.

paragraph: Section::::Great changes.

paragraph: At the end of 1820 he and Kapiolani followed the royal court to Lahaina and Honolulu. In Honolulu they learned to read and write with the system invented by missionaries. Previously Hawaiian only been an oral language, of which Naihe was an expert, so he quickly picked up the new skill. Naihe and Kapiolani happened to be on board a small boat that Kamehameha II suddenly ordered across the open sea to Kauai July 21, 1821. By spring of 1823 they moved back to Kaawaloa, along with the first missionaries to the island, Asa and Lucy Goodale Thurston. By 1824 they would send a boat to Kailua for a preacher to hold Sunday services in a thatched house they built near their home.

paragraph: In June 1823 British missionary William Ellis toured the island to survey for potential church sites. He was hosted by Naihe, and Kaawaloa was listed as one of the first places to establish a church. Naihe had an advisor or assistant named Kamakau (not to be confused with Samuel Kamakau who was younger) who told the story of the death of Captain James Cook at Kaawaloa when he was a young boy in 1779.

paragraph: Lord Byron returned in 1825 on with the bodies of Kamehameha II and his Queen Kamāmalu who had died on a state visit to England. Naihe traveled to Honolulu for the royal funeral; this was the first Hawaiian King to have a Christian memorial service. Naihe helped convene a national convention to agree on succession and discuss updating the laws. Chief Boki advocating quickly moving to the Parliamentary system he had seen in England. Naihe argued for a more moderate course; ensure stability by keeping existing laws, but adopt the more democratic system over time. Naihe lived among the people and knew the costs of social change. The official legislative body of the Kingdom was not defined until the 1840 Constitution.

paragraph: Byron called Naihe's district "one of the most civilized of the Sandwich Islands." In July 1825 Naihe led the British to the ancient religious site called Puuhonua o Hōnaunau and let them remove most of the wooden carvings and other relics at the Hale o Keawe burial site. Byron considered them "pagan symbols". When the "Blonde" left Hawaii for the last time on July 18, 1825, Naihe and his wife were there to say goodbye, being called "hospitable friends".

paragraph: On September 27, 1826, Naihe gave a speech at the dedication of the first wood-framed Mokuaikaua Church in Kailua-Kona. In 1827 he decreed that all marriages in his district should be done by a minister. When the missionary Samuel Ruggles in 1828 wanted to move to a cooler higher elevation, Naihe allowed the missionaries to build on some of his farm land, which would eventually become a prime Kona coffee area.

paragraph: In 1829 Mrs. Gerit Judd visited the ruins of Hale o Keawe with Kapiolani and Naihe. After seeing the destruction, the remaining bones were put into two large coffins and hidden in a cave, until moved in 1858 to the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii known as "Mauna 'Ala". In November 1829 the arrived, on the first trip around the world by a ship of the U.S. Navy. The ship chaplain was Samuel Stewart, a former missionary to Hawaii. Naihe and Kapiolani welcomed them and served the officers tea in their home.

paragraph: On April 1, 1831 Naihe was appointed Governor of Hawaii island while John Adams Kuakini restored order on Oahu island after a rumored rebellion by Kuini Liliha.

paragraph: Naihe died in November or December 29, 1831, after a stroke of paralysis forty-four hours before. Mrs. Lucy Thurston described Naihe as:

paragraph: "He was of commanding stature, and distinguished for refinement and polish of mind and manners. Such was his fluency and eloquence in speech that he was styled the national orator. ...As a magistrate he was as firm as he was affectionate, and in passing sentence upon offenders, the tears were often down his cheek seen chasing each other in quick succession down his cheeks."

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Residents of the Kona district tell stories of "Kai mimiki o Naihe", the "roiling sea of Naihe", which was probably the tsunami after the 1868 Hawaii earthquake, or another about this time, which caused damage to the area.

paragraph: Various monuments to Captain Cook were constructed in front of Naihe's former home at the edge of the bay. The first was by Lord Byron in 1825, and a more permanent one in 1874. The village was abandoned, and the area is now on the National Register of Historic Places as the Kealakekua Bay Historic District and a state historic park.

paragraph: Stephanie N. Naihe Laxton of Kohala is said to be a direct descendant of Naihe. She is a member of the Royal Society of Ka'ahumanu, one of four royal societies which existed during the Kingdom of Hawai'i aka: 'Ahahui Ka'ahumanu, Chapter 7 in Kohala. She founded a non-profit group called ''Maika'i Kamakani 'O Kohala'' ("fine winds of Kohala, Hawaii") to protect and preserve traditions and customs of the Hawaiian community. "John W. Naihe" was a member of the House of Representatives of the Kingdom from 1856 to 1873. This "Naihe of Kohala", a descendant of the ancient priest Paao is said be connected with "Naihe of Kaawaloa". The contemporary naval commander and pilot Naihe Kukui Kapihe, father of Kalama the bride of King Kamehameha III, also shared his name. There are also several people with the "Naihe" surname that live in the Kona area where this Naihe lived.

paragraph: Naihe's estates and the magistrate position were inherited by Chiefess Kapiolani, who donated some of the land for the Kahikolu Church. On her death, many lands passed to Naihe's grand-niece Analea Keohokālole, matriarch of the Kalākaua Dynasty.

paragraph: Shah Jalal

paragraph: Shāh Jalāl ad-Dīn al-Mujarrad al-Naqshbandi (), popularly known as Hazrat Shah Jalal (, , Sylheti: ꠡꠣꠢ ꠎꠣꠟꠣꠟ) (25 May 1271 CE – 15 March 1346 CE), is a celebrated Sufi Muslim figure in Bengal. Shah Jalal's name is often associated with the spread of Islam into north-eastern Bengal and Assam, which was part of a long history of interactions between the Middle East, Persia, Central Asia and South Asia. According to a tablet inscription found in Amberkhana, he arrived at Sylhet in 1303 CE. Various complexes and religious places have been named after him, including the largest airport in Bangladesh, Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: His biography was first recorded in the mid 16th century by a certain Shaikh 'Ali (d. 1562), a descendant of one of Shah Jalal's companions. Thus there is a gap of several centuries between the life of the saint and that of his earliest biographer. According to this account, Shah Jalal had been born in Turkestan, where he became a spiritual disciple of Khwaja Ahmad Yasawi, one of the founders of the Central Asian Yasawi Sufi tradition. Therefore, although his existence is not debated, much of his life story is debated.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Born "Jalāl ad-Dīn bin Mahmoud bin Ibrahim" and became a makhdoom, teacher of Sunnah and, for performing prayers in solitary milieu and leading a secluded life as an ascetic, "al Mujarrad" was postfixed to his name. He was conferred with the title of "Shaykh-ul-Mashāykh" (Great Scholar). Shah Jalal's date and place of birth is not certain. Various traditions and historical documents differ. A number of scholars have claimed that he was born in 1271 CE in Konya in modern-day Turkey (then in the Sultanate of Rûm) and later moved to Yemen either as a child or adult while many believe he was born in a village called Kaninah in Hadhramaut, Yemen. His mother, Syeda Hasina Fatimah, and his father, Mahmoud bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim, were descendants of Hashemite dynasty of Quraysh of Mecca. His father was a Muslim cleric, who was a contemporary of the Persian poet and Sufi mystic, Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi. Shah Jalal was educated and raised by his maternal uncle Syed Ahmed Kabir in Mecca. He excelled in his studies; became a hafiz and mastered fiqh. He achieved spiritual perfection ("Kamaliyyat") after 30 years of study, practice and meditation.

paragraph: Section::::Travel to South Asia.

paragraph: According to legend, one day his uncle, Sheikh Kabir gave Shah Jalal a handful of soil and asked him to travel to India. He instructed him to choose to settle and propagate Islam in any place in India where the soil exactly matches that which he gave him in smell and colour. Shah Jalal journeyed eastward and reached India in c. 1300, where he met many great scholars and Sufi mystics.

paragraph: Section::::Conquest of Sylhet.

paragraph: In 1303, the Sultan of Bengal, Shamsuddin Firoz Shah was engaged in a war with the neighbouring kingdom of Sylhet, then under the rule of the Hindu king Gour Govinda. This war began when Burhanuddin, a Muslim living in Sylhet, sacrificed a cow for his newborn son's "Aqiqah" or celebration of birth. According to tradition, Govinda learned of this sacrifice when a piece of beef from the cow was picked up by a bird which was then dropped on the King's personal temple. Govinda, in a fury for what he saw as sacrilege, had the newborn killed as well as having Burhanuddin's right hand cut off.

paragraph: When word of this reached Firoz Shah, an army commanded by his nephew, Sikander Khan was sent against Gour Govinda. Two successive strikes were attempted, both ending in failure due to the Bengali armies inexperience in the foreign terrain as well as Govinda's superior military strategy.

paragraph: A third attack, now under the additional leadership of Firoz Shah's "Sipah Salar" (Commander-in-Chief) Syed Nasiruddin was undertaken, a force which was joined by Shah Jalal and his companions, who at this point numbered 360. Shah Jalal, who had immediately prior to this been a guest of the Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi, may have been summoned by Firoz Shah for aid after the initial failed attacks against Gour Govinda. Alternatively, he may already have been present in Sylhet, fighting against the Hindu king independently prior to being approached by the Sultan.

paragraph: The army was guided through Sylhet by Burhanuddin, ultimately arriving at the banks of the Barak River. Here, the third battle was fought between Gour Govinda and the combined armies of Shah Jalal and Syed Nasiruddin, with the latter forces ultimately claiming victory. Govinda was forced to retreat and Sylhet was brought under Muslim control. According to tradition, Shah Jalal at this point compared the soil in Sylhet with that which was previously given to him by his uncle, finding them to be identical. In any case, following the battle he, along with his followers permanently settled in Sylhet.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: During the later stages of his life, Shah Jalal devoted himself to propagating Islam. Shah Jalal became so renowned that the famous traveller Ibn Battuta, then in Satgaon, made a one-month journey through the mountains of Kamarupa north-east of Sylhet to meet him. On his way to Sylhet via Habung, Ibn Batuta was greeted by several of Shah Jalal's disciples who had come to assist him on his journey many days before he had arrived. At the meeting in 1345 CE, Ibn Batuta noted that Shah Jalal was tall and lean, fair in complexion and lived by the mosque in a cave, where his only item of value was a goat he kept for milk, butter, and yogurt. He observed that the companions of the Shah Jalal were foreign and known for their strength and bravery. He also mentions that many people would visit the Shah to seek guidance.

paragraph: The meeting between Ibn Batuta and Shah Jalal is described in his Arabic travelogue, Rihla ("The Journey"). Amir Khusrau also gives an account of Shah Jalal's conquest of Sylhet in his book "Afdalul Hawaade". Even today in Hadramaut, Yemen, Shah Jalal's name is established in folklore.

paragraph: The exact date of his death is debated, but he is reported by Ibn Batuta to have died on 20 Dhul Qadah 746 AH (15 March 1346 CE). He left behind no descendants and was buried in Sylhet in his dargah (tomb), which is located in a neighbourhood now known as "Dargah Mahalla":

paragraph: Where he lies, a soul eternal,

paragraph: The much-loved awliya of Allah, Hazrat Shah Jalal.।

paragraph: His shrine is famous in Sylhet and throughout Bangladesh, with hundreds of devotees visiting daily. The largest mosque in Sylhet was built at the Dargah (also one of the largest in Bangladesh).

paragraph: José Alves Correia da Silva

paragraph: Dom José Alves Correia da Silva (15 January 1872 – 4 December 1957) was a Portuguese priest. He was Bishop of Leiria from 1920 until his death in 1957.

paragraph: He is best remembered for his part in the story of Our Lady of Fátima, and not least for his dealings with Sister Lúcia Santos in connection with the Three Secrets of Fátima.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: José Alves Correia da Silva was born at . After training for the priesthood he was ordained a priest on 5 August 1894, at the age of twenty-two, and began his service to the church at Oporto.

paragraph: On 15 May 1920, he was appointed Bishop of Leiria, on 25 July was consecrated by Bishop António Barbosa Leão, Bishop of Oporto, and on 5 August was formally installed. He continued in this role for thirty-seven years, until his death.

paragraph: In 1917, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared several times to three children of Silva's diocese and to have entrusted them with three secrets, in connection with which there was later much confusion. On 13 October 1930, Dom José announced in a pastoral letter that he was giving official approval to the authenticity of the apparitions. He wrote In 1941, Dom José asked the only survivor of the three children, who was now a nun, to clarify the secrets, to assist with the publication of a new edition of a book about her cousin Jacinta, another of the three children, who had died in 1920. At his request, Sister Lúcia wrote a document detailing two of the secrets which was passed to higher authorities. In 1943 he asked Lucia to reveal the third secret, and she declined, on the grounds that she was "not yet convinced that God had clearly authorized her to act". In October 1943, when she was seriously ill and there were fears for her life, Dom José pressed her again, ordering her to put the third secret in writing. Lúcia obeyed, but sealed her statement into an envelope which was not to be opened until 1960 or until after her death, if earlier.

paragraph: Dom José Alves Correia da Silva died on 4 December 1957.

paragraph: Section::::Memorials.

paragraph: A statue of Dom José by Joaquim Correia was later erected in the main square at Fátima, near another by Correia of Pope Pius XII. A street in the town has also been named "Avenida Dom José Alves Correia da Silva" in his memory and contains the town's bus station.

paragraph: Edward Faragher

paragraph: Edward Faragher (1831–1908) was a Manx language poet, folklorist and cultural guardian. He is considered to be the last important native writer of Manx and perhaps the most important guardian of Manx culture during a time when it was most under threat. The folklorist, Charles Roeder, wrote that Faragher had "done great services to Manx folklore, and it is due to him that at this late period an immense amount of valuable Manx legends have been preserved, for which indeed the Isle of Man must ever be under gratitude to him." Faragher is also familiarly known in Manx as Ned Beg Hom Ruy.

paragraph: Section::::Youth (1831–1876).

paragraph: Faragher was born into a large family of twelve children in Cregneash, a fishing village at the south of the Isle of Man. At this time Manx was the only language spoken in Cregneash, and so his mother stood out as "the only person who could converse with strangers" due to her grasp of English. His father was one of the few people in the village who could write, and so he was called upon to write letters on behalf of other villagers. It was from his father, known as Ned Hom Ruy in Manx, that Faragher's familiar Manx name derives – with the Manx word for "little" being added, making it Ned Beg Hom Ruy ('Little Ned with the Red Beard').

paragraph: Faragher attended infants' school in Port St Mary followed by the parish school of Kirk Christ Rushen, but his family could not afford for him to attend any longer than two years. The rest of his education came from his parents, or else was self-taught.

paragraph: At a young age he began earning his living as a fisherman in his father's boat. He was a fisherman for the next seven years; then he moved to Liverpool to work in a safe-making factory.

paragraph: Faragher enjoyed himself in England, finding that his natural talent at composing verse proved to be popular with young women. In 1899 he would write of this time that:

paragraph: "[...] when I was living in England, I was putting the young women in a frenzy with my songs. I was often forced to stay at the house on Sunday afternoon because there were so many of them coming after me. And I was serving them all on the same plate. When I would be writing a song to one, she would be reading it to her comrades and they would be all striving to get acquaintance with me, and to get me to do a song for themselves until they were bothering my head."

paragraph: It was whilst in Liverpool, aged around 26, that Faragher began to write down his verse for the first time, having previously retained it only in his head. Although he enjoyed himself at first in Liverpool, after some years in the city he eventually came to want to return to the Isle of Man. He expressed his feelings in a poem he composed at that time, "A poem about things I have seen in Liverpool":

paragraph: Section::::Fisherman (1876–1889).

paragraph: Faragher returned to Cregneash in around 1876, and earned a living fishing for mackerel at Kinsale and on the west coast of Ireland for the rest of his working life. During this time he encountered rough storms and was even shipwrecked, narrowly surviving. In middle age he married and had children.

paragraph: Despite the central place of alcohol and heavy drinking in the traditional way of life at that time, upon his return to the island Faragher took up abstinence. This started the greatest period of creative output in Faragher's life, as he would go on to write some 4,000 hymns or poems in Manx and English. Also at this time his poetry expanded from the romantic and lyrical to include more contemplative and sacred topics.

paragraph: Despite his phenomenal output, Faragher's poetry and song received little attention in his own community. Instead they tended to bring him only the "jeers and derision of his uncultured companions and the buxom village belles."

paragraph: Section::::Folk celebrity (1890–1899).

paragraph: During the 1880s or 90s Faragher met the Manchester-based German folklorist, Charles Roeder. Roeder recognised the importance of Faragher, particularly as a source of folklore and cultural knowledge, and as a speaker of Manx Gaelic, ranking him as "one of the best vernacular conversationalists extant in the Island." This was especially important at that time as Manx language and culture were in steep decline and in serious danger of dying out completely, due to the dying off of the older generation and the indifference and often even hostility of the youth.

paragraph: Roeder started up a strong correspondence with Faragher, sending him blank notebooks to fill with folklore "yarns" that he collected before sending them back. A strong friendship developed between them that would last until Faragher's death.

paragraph: Through Roeder, Faragher became well known in circles concerned with Manx Gaelic culture. He became connected with the major figures of the Manx cultural revival, including Sophia Morrison, John Kneen, Edmund Goodwin and John Clague. As this was at the time of Pan-Celticism, there was also an interest in Faragher from outside the island. Faragher's letters to Roeder tell of visits from gentlemen who had "heard [Faragher's] name mentioned in London," academics such as the Professor of Gaelic from Scotland who communicated with him through Scottish Gaelic, and Edward Spencer Dodgson (cousin of Lewis Carroll) who visited Faragher in Cregneash when visiting the island. In 1896 the foreign interest in Faragher reached such an extent that he would write that he was being "kept busy answering young ladies letters ones that I never saw."

paragraph: However, the local community grew to resent and even shun Faragher for these visitors and correspondences, as they felt that "he was drawing undue attention both unto himself and the village." This reached such a pitch that Roeder was forced to publish disclaimers in the newspapers to try and cool some of the "aggravation" caused by Faragher's status as folklore informer, mentioning that Faragher was suffering "greatly by the general animus against him."

paragraph: These social problems that Faragher was suffering at this time were perhaps eclipsed by the serious economic problems that he encountered due to the dire state of the traditional crofting way of life on the island. In the 1890s Faragher began to find it increasingly difficult to make a living as a fisherman and a small-scale farmer. In 1898 Faragher wrote (in his imperfect English) of that year's fishing that, "It has been hard times we could not catch mackerells enough to eat sometimes." By this time Faragher was in his 60s and was beginning to be afflicted by rheumatism, from which he was to suffer increasingly and which threatened to keep him from work entirely. These problems were then compounded by what he saw to be the unfair treatment he received from farmers who kept wages unfairly low. A poem he wrote on this subject features the following stanza:

paragraph: In response to Faragher's struggle to earn enough to live on, Roeder tried to create an interest in him as a literary and cultural figure, so that a public fund might be raised to support him. In 1898 he wrote to the Manx novelist Hall Caine, at that time perhaps the British isles' most popular and successful writer, to ask him to write about Faragher so as to raise his profile and the public's awareness of him. However, Caine responded with a letter that reflected the lack of understanding or interest in Faragher at that time:

paragraph: "I have read the poems with pleasure; but while I think they show a good deal of sensibility & poetic feeling, to certain homely states of emotion, I do not think they are sufficiently remarkable as literature to warrant any special attention. [...] That the author is a man of very amiable character, & that his love of his native island is very tender & beautiful is sufficiently obvious, but I doubt if these are enough to warrant us in claiming for him any attention beyond that which is due to a really admirable man who has preserved a simplicity of natural feeling that is rather too rare."

paragraph: A public fund was never raised for Faragher, much to the frustration of Roeder and others.

paragraph: Section::::Publishing (1900–1907).

paragraph: Through the instigation and endorsement of Roeder, a small amount of Faragher's writing began to appear in print at the start of the 20th century.

paragraph: Besides the occasional poem printed in sympathetic newspapers or publications, Faragher's single publication under his own name during his lifetime was his translation into Manx of Aesop's Fables. Faragher had translated other folk tales previously, including Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling, but at the instigation of Roeder he completed his translation of all 313 of the Aesop fables in four months in 1901, "while not in the best health, and harassed by domestic afflictions." The publishers, S.K. Broadbent of Douglas, published 25 of these tales under the Manx title, "Skeealyn Aesop", in 1901. The intention was to publish further stories in future issues, but there was insufficient interest in the 1901 publication to justify it. Realising the value of the work, despite the lack of interest at that time, Roeder deposited Faragher's full manuscript in the library of the Manx Museum for safekeeping, where it still remains today.

paragraph: "Skeealyn Aesop" also included a number of poems and a sketch of old Cregneash. Amongst the poems was "Verses Composed at Sea Some Twenty Years Ago", with lines that had perhaps become more pertinent with time:

paragraph: Faragher also published a number of recollections in prose of folk beliefs, stories and traditions. These were printed as "the greater part of" "Manx Notes and Queries", Charles Roeder's serialised column in "The Isle of Man Examiner", which was at that time "sympathetic to the Manx language revival." The column ran between 21 September 1901 and 24 October 1903, incorporating 87 separate columns, with 261 separately numbered notes. The column ceased due to a lack of collaboration in its production, again despite Roeder's hopes. In 1904, S. K. Broadbent released the column in book form, under the title "Manx Notes and Queries". Much to Roeder's chagrin, the book suffered the same fate as "Skeealyn Aesop", with poor sales resulting from the lack of interest from the Manx public.

paragraph: This lack of interest in Faragher and his work at this time extended also to his poetry. Although "Mona's Herald" and "The Cork Eagle" published his poetry during his lifetime, they did not publish much, and many publications refused his poetry. One such publication was "The Isle of Man Examiner", who refused his poems when sent in by Sophia Morrison. His poetry has been described as "of the homely, descriptive kind, and appeals to the simple emotions of the heart."

paragraph: Although Roeder and the others of the Manx cultural revival never doubted Faragher's importance, they came to despair of ever rousing sufficient interest in his work during his lifetime. Roeder was to write in a personal letter after Faragher's death that, "he was a very disappointed man & was very shabbily served by the Manx people who ignored him."

paragraph: Section::::Later life (1907–1908).

paragraph: By the start of 1907, conditions in Cregneash had become so bad that Faragher's widowed daughter and her two sons were left no option but to emigrate to Canada. Because she had been acting as his housekeeper since his wife had died, Faragher, now aged 76, was forced to leave the island, to live with his son W. A. Faragher, at his house at 56 Blackwell Colliery, near Alfreton in Derbyshire.

paragraph: Faragher was very sad to leave the island, but he tried to keep up to date with it as best as he could through letters and by reading "The Isle of Man Examiner", sent to him each week courtesy of Roeder. He wrote in thanks to Roeder, commenting sadly that "I am not longing for much but a sight of the sea." He composed a lot of poetry whilst first at his son's, until illness overtook him. His son wrote that: "He has been writing verse since he came here until his head got bad, and now he says he shall write no more." One of the most striking poems of this period comments on his sorrow at the decline of Manx culture:

paragraph: Within 18 months of leaving the island, he had succumbed to a painful illness from which he died between 8 and 10 o'clock on Friday 5 June 1908. He was buried in Derbyshire in an unmarked grave.

paragraph: In the obituary notice for Faragher in "The Manx Quarterly", Roeder wrote that:

paragraph: "There was no man who loved his Mona so much as he, and every fibre of his heart was intertwined with her traditions and memories of the soil. [...] there was no other Manxman who was so steeped in its lore, and, gifted with a true poetical vein, he sang its beauties and charms. [...] It is entirely due to him that so much traditional folklore has been preserved; he had a fine memory, and his knowledge of things Manx seemed to be inexhaustible, which he would communicate with unreserved readiness and liberality to those who enjoyed his friendship."

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In recent years the estimation of Faragher's importance has risen to that given to him by Roeder and others during his lifetime. His poems and prose have been re-printed today and form a part of the canon for Manx language learners. His status as a Manx poet of importance was confirmed in 2010 by his being featured with multiple entries in the 2010 anthology of Manx literature by Robert Corteen Carswell, "Manannan's Cloak". His house has been incorporated into the Manx National Heritage folk museum at Cregneash. Marking the 100th anniversary of Faragher's death, Yvonne Cresswell, Social History Curator from Manx National Heritage, accurately observed that, "It was, as so often is the case, after his death that the real value and contribution of Ned Beg's work to preserve Manx culture really come to bear."

paragraph: Aymon II of Geneva

paragraph: Aymon II (died 1280) was the Count of Geneva from 1265. He was the son and heir of Count Rudolf, but died heirless himself and was succeeded by his brother Amadeus II. According to one modern historian, he was “overawed by the power of the count of Savoy”, and did little during his fifteen-year reign to recover the lands and jurisdictions lost to the Savoyards by his father and grandfather.

paragraph: In 1279 Aymon married Constance, a daughter of Gaston VII of Béarn and viscountess in her own right of Marsan and Bigorre. The marriage was arranged by Gaston's second wife, “la Grande Dauphine” Beatrice, who as a daughter of Peter II of Savoy and widow of Guigues VII of Viennois, was related to two traditional rivals of the counts of Geneva. Constance was twice widowed herself, having been married very briefly to Alfonso, a son of James I of Aragon, and to Henry of Almain, son of Richard, King of Germany. She bore him no children.

paragraph: Late in his life, Aymon may have become involved an anti-Angevin alliance under the auspices of the Crown of Aragon. In 1280, Peter III of Aragon (James's son), who had a claim on the Kingdom of Sicily, then ruled by an Angevin, sent a secretive message, "to treat of certain affairs", to several princes who were threatened by Angevin power in the County of Provence and the Piedmont. Dalmau de Villarasa, the ambassador bearing the letters, was accredited to, among others, the count of Geneva.

paragraph: Lelio Falconieri

paragraph: Lelio Falconieri (1585–1648) was an Italian Catholic Cardinal.

paragraph: Section::::Family and early life.

paragraph: Falconieri was born in 1585 in Florence, the tenth of the thirteen children of Paolo Falconieri and his second wife Maddalena degli Albizzi. He was the brother of Don Orazio Falconieri who purchased the Villa Falconieri and commissioned Francesco Borromini to renovate it. Orazio later commissioned Borromini to renovate the church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini to build a Falconieri family chapel for the burial of the two brothers. He studied law at the University of Perugia and went on to take a doctorate in canon and civil law from the University of Pisa.

paragraph: Thomas Rawlins (sculptor)

paragraph: Thomas Rawlins (1727–1789) was an English sculptor, architect and architectural author, who specialized in funerary monuments.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Thomas Rawlins was the son of a Norwich worsted weaver. He was trained by a London sculptor and ran a successful business as a funerary monument mason in Norwich from circa 1743–81, specialising in coloured marbles. In 1753 he advertised himself as, "a carver and mason at Duke's Palace Yard, Norwich of monuments and chimney pieces both ancient and modern."

paragraph: Ranking high as a sculptor in the view of art historian Nicholas Pevsner, Rawlins' style spans from late Baroque Rococo to Neoclassical. This stylistic change, according to Pevsner, is illustrated by two monuments in St Andrew's Church, Norwich, the first to John Custance (circa 1756) the second to Richard Dennison (circa 1767). Later monuments to William Wilcocks (1714–1770) in St Swithin's (now Norwich Arts Centre), and Robert Rushbrook (1705–81) in Saint John the Baptist, Maddermarket, Norwich, display a great awareness of neo-classical motifs. His monument for Sir Thomas Churchman at St Giles' Church, Norwich however, is considered to be his finest work. It features a medallion portrait and a sarcophagus, which is decorated with allegorical figures representing Vanity, Time, and Judgement, along with an Egyptian pyramid in construction.

paragraph: Rawlins also practised as an architect. His designs, like his contemporary Thomas Ivory, architect of the Octagon Chapel (1756), were Neo-Palladian in style. He competed for the Royal Exchange (City Hall, Dublin) in 1769, and exhibited designs at the Society of Artists in 1767, 1769 and 1770 and at the Royal Academy in 1773, 1774 and 1776.

paragraph: In 1765 the Ipswich Journal advertised a proposed work on architecture by Rawlins and in 1768 he published a pattern book, "Familiar Architecture: or Original Designs of Houses for Gentlemen and Tradesmen; Parsonages; Summer Retreats; Banqueting-Rooms; and Churches." Further editions of Rawlins' pattern book were issued in 1789 and 1795, and in contemporary times it has been called influential and practical. Archer (2005) suggests that Rawlins' book was seeking to address a bourgeois provincial, rather than an elite metropolitan, clientele, and notes his emphasis on the need for flexibility on questions of proportion so as to fit buildings to the inclinations of their owners.

paragraph: His only documented architectural works are the entrance to St. Andrew's and Blackfriars' Hall, Norwich in 1774, (subsequently rebuilt) and Weston House completed in 1781 for John Custance at Weston Longville. The Blackfriars entrance was in a Gothic style, and housed Norwich Library. The house was described by one critic as a "dull five-by-five bay two-and-a-half-story house" it later became the residence of Parson James Woodforde, and was demolished in 1926. In 1772 his reinforcement with ironwork of the south aisle of Saint John the Baptist at Maddermarket became the subject of satirical verses. Nonetheless, Rawlins is commemorated by a stone in the floor of the church, describing him simply as an architect who died on 18 March 1789.

paragraph: Mabel Lethbridge

paragraph: Mabel Florence Lethbridge OBE (7 July 1900 – 14 July 1968) was a 20th-century English writer and business woman. She is the youngest person to date to receive the United Kingdom Order of the British Empire (OBE) awarded for her services in the Great War as a munitions factory worker. She was severely injured when a shell she was packing exploded and described her experiences in a series of autobiographies.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mabel Lethbridge was born on 7 July 1900 in Luccombe, Somerset, the second youngest of six children of John Acland Musgrave Lethbridge (1869 - 1934) and her American mother Florence Martin (Mary) Cooper (d 1931). Her Grandfather was Sir Wroth Periam Christopher Lethbridge, 5th Baronet (1863–1950) and her paternal family were long established Somerset gentry. Her parents divorced in 1903 and the first volume of her autobiography conspicuously brushes over her childhood years although she later records that her father worked overseas in the Empire and that she had a peripatetic upbringing that variously included Kenya, Italy and Ireland. Her father was at one time a professional soldier and big game huntsman who had served in South Africa but by 1907 he was a declared bankrupt in Kenya. He abandoned his family thereafter and although he lived until 1934 he did not see his children again dying in poverty in Mexico .

paragraph: She suffered several years of poor health necessitating a period of convalescence near Ballinhassig and later at Coachford in Ireland from 1909 to 1912 during which she received little formal education for eighteen months before attending St Angela's Convent, Cork, an Ursuline foundation in Cork City. Her Mother's illness (which was survived) required the family to leave Ireland at short notice and return to London. She attended Haberdashers’ Aske's School for Girls describing her period as a pupil as a mixture of good friends, boredom, bad food and teaching that she loathed.

paragraph: Section::::Great War service.

paragraph: In 1917 Lethbridge took a job as a nurse at Bradford Hospital where she tended troops who had been injured and maimed in the War. Returning to London she applied to work at the National Munitions Filling Factory in Hayes, Middlesex lying about her age since she should have been barred had it been known she was under eighteen years. She volunteered for the dangerous work of filling shells with Amatol explosive. On 23 October she was working on a recently condemned machine that packed the Amatol into the shells. It exploded killing several workers and seriously injuring Lethbridge whose left leg was blown off. Although temporarily blinded she managed to apply a tourniquet to her thigh, an act that certainly saved her life.

paragraph: In recognition of her war time service she was awarded the O.B.E. at a ceremony in Maidstone in Kent in 1918. However her grateful nation did not approve an invalidity pension for Lethbridge because she had lied about her age in order to work at the munitions factory.

paragraph: Section::::Post War life.

paragraph: There followed some years of penury and struggle which are recounted in her autobiography published in 1934 She worked variously as a house maid, sold matches and hired a barrel organ to entertain crowds on Armistice Day in 1918 earning a meagre living for several years. In 1923, she spotted an opportunity with the long queues that used to form outside London theatres and cinemas and hired out chairs and stools for the waiting patrons to sit on, thereby earning the sobriquet 'Peggy the Chair Lady'. Her enterprise drew her into a criminal underworld that flourished in the aftermath of the Great War.

paragraph: In 1922 she married Noel Eric Sproule Kalenberg, a Cambridge University graduate and a member of a Jewish family of Dutch extraction long established in Sri Lanka. The marriage produced one daughter but failed and they divorced in 1932, Kalenberg remarrying shortly thereafter in Sri Lanka. Lethbridge's liaisons included a romance with Silas Glossop, a civil engineer and one of the founders of Geotechnical Engineering in the UK and a long-standing affair with Colin Gill, who was commissioned to paint Lethbridge for The Imperial War Museum. Gill's studio occupied Lethbridge's first floor at her Tite Street, Chelsea residence whilst Mabel, her daughter Suzanne and a butler occupied the rest of the house. Suzanne Lethbridge posed for Gill's "The Kerry Flute Player"

paragraph: Mabel Lethbridge had recognised that people wanted living accommodation in Chelsea where her family resided and accordingly opened an estate agency with a prestigious address in Cheyne Walk. It was a major success allowing Lethbridge to remove herself from the poverty of the immediate post war years, maintain a house in London and a rural retreat in Chertsey, Surrey. In her first volume of autobiography she describes herself as the first woman to own and run an estate agency.

paragraph: Section::::St Ives.

paragraph: In 1939 Lethbridge volunteered for the Ambulance Service working with her daughter Sue throughout The Blitz . It was by necessity often harrowing work which she touched upon in her third and final volume of autobiography ‘’Homeward Bound’’ published in 1967.

paragraph: When the war ended in 1945 Lethbridge moved to St Ives in Cornwall. The severe injuries that she had received as a worker at the Hayes Munitions Factory necessitated many more operations and her health was not improved by living in a polluted London. In the post war period St Ives maintained a vibrant writing and artistic community with whom Lethbridge became involved in part, because of her enjoyment of bohemian values but also as a benefactor. She provided the abstract painter Sven Berlin and his wife with a cottage and a studio and championed Bryan Wynter, the latter subsequently marrying her daughter Suzanne in 1949. Later tensions and strains arose between the tradition of established figurative painters and the generally younger abstract painters but St Ives continued to attract aspiring artists over subsequent decades.

paragraph: In 1948 Mabel converted to Roman Catholicism and in 1962 her life was the subject of BBC’s "This Is Your Life". The guests for the programme included Lady Megan Lloyd George, daughter of war-time prime minister David Lloyd George, who had mentioned Lethbridge’s injuries in his memoirs.

paragraph: In 1964 she was interviewed at length by the BBC on her experiences in the Great War with particular reference to her work at the National Munitions Factory. An edited account was shown on national television in 2014 and again in 2016 as part of the BBC’s commemorations of the war rekindling interest in Lethbridge’s life.

paragraph: Mabel Lethbridge died in London in July 1968 following yet another operation resulting from her injuries. She is buried at Longstone Cemetery, Carbis Bay, Cornwall. Her daughter Suzanne Lethbridge Murray died at Wivenhoe, Essex, in September 2013.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: In 1933 Lethbridge met and befriended the publisher Geoffrey Bles who persuaded her to recount her life in an autobiography "Fortune Grass" published by Bles publishing in 1934. Her account of the explosion at the munitions factory in October 1917 that so severely injured Lethbridge was graphic but told without sentimentality. The book sold out its initial print run within months and generally received good reviews. The Sydney Morning Herald noted that Lethbridge’s success ‘depended upon her quick recognition of the change of fashions… One can marvel at this story of immense and unscrupulous pluck and can but admire the dauntless ‘’Peggy’’. A further autobiographical book "Against The Tide" followed in 1936. In the 1930s she also contributed regularly to the "Daily Sketch" and to various journals and periodicals. In 1962 she was featured in a national television programme creating enough interest for a further volume "Homeward Bound" published in 1967 that included her trails and tribulations in the Second World War and her post war life in Cornwall.
