paragraph: Gregor von Feinaigle

paragraph: Gregor von Feinaigle (22 August 1760 — 27 December 1819) was a German mnemonist and Roman Catholic monk.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Feinaigle was born in Ueberlingen on 22 August 1760.

paragraph: Very little other is known of his early life except that he entered the Cistercian monastery at Salem located along Lake Constance. Obligated to flee the monastery with the other monks due to the Napoleonic invasions, he became an itinerant professor in Karlsruhe, Paris, London, Glasgow and Dublin. Feinaigle visited Paris in 1806, and delivered public lectures on local and symbolical memory, which he described as a ‘new system of mnemonics and methodics.’ He was accompanied by a young man who acted as interpreter. Count Metternich, the Austrian ambassador, and his secretaries followed the whole course of lectures, and spoke in highly laudatory terms of the system, which, though novel in its applications, was founded on the topical memory of the ancients, as described by Cicero and Quinctilian. Feinaigle was exposed to much criticism and sarcasm in the press, and was ridiculed on the stage by Dieulafoy in a farce called ‘Les filles de mémoire, ou le Mnémoniste.’ By way of reply he gave on 27 February 1807 a public exhibition to an audience of about two thousand persons. He did not himself appear, but was represented by twelve or fifteen of his pupils, who gave illustrations of his art. Afterwards he went on a lecturing tour through various parts of France. Early in 1811, he came to England and delivered lectures at the Royal Institution and the Surrey Institution in London; and at Liverpool, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The fee for attending a course of fifteen or sixteen of his lectures was 5l. 5s., and this sum was paid by crowds of pupils, for Feinaigle made a mystery of the details of his method, and was in consequence denounced in some quarters as an impostor. He gained, however, many devoted adherents. The Rev. Peter Baines, afterwards bishop of Siga, introduced his system of mnemonics and also his general plan of education into the Benedictine college of Ampleforth, Yorkshire, and a society of gentlemen founded a school in Aldborough House, near Mountjoy Square, Dublin, which was placed under Feinaigle's personal superintendence and conducted on his principles. He died in Dublin on 27 December 1819.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: The major exposition of his system is in "The New Art of Memory" (1812). John Millard, assistant librarian to the Surrey Institution, was the editor of this work, according to Thomas Hartwell Horne, who was Millard's brother-in-law, and who helped him with notes of Feinaigle's lectures. Other treatises on the system were:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Notice sur la Mnémonique, ou l'art d'aider et de fixer la Mémoire en tout genre d'études, de sciences, ou d'affaires, par Grégoire de Feinaigle", Paris, 1806,; and

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Mnemonik oder praktische Gedächtnisskunst zum Selbstunterricht nach den Vorlesungen des Herrn von Feinaigle", Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1811.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Gregor von Feinaigle is credited by some as being the inspiration for the word "finagle" meaning "To cheat or swindle; to use crafty, deceitful methods." such as "...shady stockbrokers who finagle their clients out of fortunes."

paragraph: Frank McCoy (author)

paragraph: Frank Joseph McCoy (March 4, 1888 – March 31, 1940) was an American chiropractor and alternative health author, known for his book "The Fast Way to Health", as well as his nationally syndicated health- and nutrition-related newspaper columns and radio broadcasts. He was active between 1923 and 1940. His ideas were criticized by medical experts as quackery.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Milan, Ohio, and received training in Chicago, in chiropractic. He is referred to in publications as "Dr. Frank McCoy" but did not have an M.D. degree.

paragraph: His book, "The Fast Way To Health", was first published in 1923 by the Times-Mirror Press. His first newspaper column "Health and Diet Advice" ran in the "Los Angeles Times" from 1927 to 1932 and was syndicated in other cities. During roughly this time, he also lectured and had a radio program in the Los Angeles area.

paragraph: Other newspaper columns he has authored include "How to Keep Well" and "Here's To Your Health." He died at the age of 52 in his home at the Uplifters Club in Southern California. His death was related to liver disease.

paragraph: Section::::Criticism.

paragraph: McCoy was criticized for making dangerous pseudoscientific claims about fasting. For example, he stated that fasting could cure everything from deafness and diarrhoea to cancer. McCoy's book "The Fast Way To Health" developed a "Philosophy of Scientific Fasting" that was described by health writer Carl Malmberg as a "collection of misinformation".

paragraph: His opinions drew criticism in "The American Journal of Public Health" and in a 1934 "JAMA" editorial which stated:

paragraph: How long will newspapers and periodicals which share some responsibility for the public health continue to advise the uninformed in regard to infectious diseases in such ways as to encourage the spread and the virulence of these infections? It is not known how many newspapers print these daily discourses of Frank McCoy, pet of the "Los Angeles Times". Surely editors fail their readers when they continue to promulgate such superlative nonsense as emanates from McCoy and his "Los Angeles Times" associates.

paragraph: Jazmin Sawyers

paragraph: Jazmin Sawyers (born 21 May 1994) is a British track and field athlete who competes in the long jump. She has also competed as a bobsledder and a heptathlete.

paragraph: She was the silver medallist in the long jump at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. In 2017, she competed in the sixth series of The Voice UK.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early life and career.

paragraph: Born in Stoke-on-Trent to a Jamaican father and an English mother, Sawyers was initially a child gymnast, participating in the sport from the age of four. At ten years old she began to take part in athletics events at school and decided to start practising in various events.

paragraph: As part of City of Stoke Athletics Club, she focused mainly on high jump and long jump. At the 2007 English Schools Championships she was the high jump runner-up with a personal best of , finishing behind Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The following year she won the English Schools' titles in the long jump and the pentathlon – a feat she repeated in 2009. In 2010, she won a scholarship to study at Millfield public school.

paragraph: Sawyers studied for a degree in law at Bristol University.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Youth and junior medals.

paragraph: Her first international appearances came in 2011. At the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics she placed ninth in the heptathlon. She cleared six metres in the long jump for the first time that year and surpassed that mark to win the gold in the event at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games. She was also a 4×100 metres relay champion with England at that event. She was also approached by the British Bobsleigh Association that year to train for the inaugural Youth Winter Olympics. Acting as brakewoman, she formed a two-man bob team with Mica McNeil. In January 2012 she represented Great Britain at the bobsleigh at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics and Sawyers and McNeil became the country's first ever medal-winning team at the competition (and the only medallists for Britain that year), taking the silver medals behind the Dutch team. As a result, she was chosen as one of the carriers for the 2012 Summer Olympics torch relay.

paragraph: Sawyers' bobsleigh training at the start of the year meant she was ill-prepared for heptathlon in the summer of 2012. She opted to focus on the long jump instead, as this combined well with the explosive strength training she had undertaken for the winter sport. This proved to be a successful switch as she set a personal best of to place third at the British Athletics Championships and also set the world-leading junior mark. Sawyers was the bronze medallist at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics – her distance of was beaten only by the wind-assisted jumps of British rival Katerina Johnson-Thompson and Germany's Lena Malkus. Her performance was the second best wind-legal jump by a junior woman that year.

paragraph: Sawyers gained a place at the University of Sheffield and began training there as well with local coach Toni Minichiello. She continued her focus on the long jump into the 2013 season. She was runner-up at the BUCS university championships indoor and outdoors. She repeated that placing at her two major events that year, taking silver behind Shara Proctor at the UK Championships then another silver at the 2013 European Athletics Junior Championships behind Malaika Mihambo of Germany. At the end of the track and field season she won her first meet abroad at the Gugl Games in Linz, Austria. She changed university to study law and criminology at Bristol University. She based her training near the University of Bath, however, working with coach and former long jumper Alan Lerwill.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2014 Commonwealth Games medal.

paragraph: At the start of 2014 she set an indoor best of to place second the Johnson-Thompson at the UK Athletics Indoor Championships. Outdoors, she had a string of victories (including a win at the universities championships) in the buildup to the 2014 European Team Championships, where she placed ninth overall. She was again second best to Johnson-Thompson at the outdoor national championships but both gained selection for the long jump for England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. However, Johnson-Thompson withdrew prior to the championships and the other leading English athlete Proctor could not compete in the final due to injury, making Sawyer's England's leading medal hope. At the competition in Glasgow her final round jump of was a season's best and resulted in a silver medal – her first international senior medal and just two centimetres behind winner Ese Brume.

paragraph: Section::::Other activities.

paragraph: Sawyers is a singer/songwriter in her spare time and, in February 2017 appeared in ITV's The Voice UK. She was successful in securing Will.i.am as her coach during the 'blind auditions', though she told the programme her main priority remained with athletics. She was eliminated from the programme on 26 February in a sing-off against fellow singer Hayley Eccles.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born into a family of sculptors and woodcarvers and received his first lessons from his father.

paragraph: George C. Pidgeon

paragraph: George Campbell Pidgeon (March 2, 1872 – June 15, 1971) was a Christian minister, first in the Presbyterian Church in Canada and then in the United Church of Canada, as well as the last Moderator of the Presbyterian Church before amalgamation and the first Moderator of the newly formed United Church of Canada. He was a strong proponent of the proposed union of churches and later in life championed ecumenism.

paragraph: Pidgeon was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in 1894 and earned his Doctor of Divinity degree from Montreal's Presbyterian College. His first posting was at Montreal West Presbyterian Church (now Montreal West United Church). He then moved to the Toronto area, serving first in the Streetsville area (now Mississauga), before moving to the West Toronto Junction area.

paragraph: From 1909 to 1915, he left pastoral ministry to teach theology at Westminster Hall in Vancouver. He then returned to Toronto in 1916, where he served as minister of Bloor Street Presbyterian (now Bloor Street United Church).

paragraph: He became Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in 1925, and was a strong proponent of the proposed church union between the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregationalist Churches in Canada. However, a substantial minority of Presbyterians remained opposed to church union. Their threat to the entire project was resolved by giving individual Presbyterian congregations the right to vote on whether to enter or remain outside the United Church. In the end, 302 out of 4,509 congregations of the Presbyterian Church (211 from southern Ontario) chose to reconstitute themselves as a "continuing" Presbyterian Church in Canada.

paragraph: With the pro-union support of the majority of Presbyterian congregations now guaranteed, The United Church of Canada was inaugurated at a large worship service at Toronto's Mutual Street Arena on June 10, 1925.

paragraph: The ecumenical tone of the new church was set at the first General Council in 1925. The former Methodist General Superintendent Samuel Dwight Chown was considered the leading candidate to become the first Moderator because the Methodist Church made up the largest segment of the new United Church. However, in a surprise move, Chown stepped aside in favour of Pidgeon in the hopes that this would strengthen the resolve of the Presbyterians who had chosen to join the new Church. As first Moderator of the United Church of Canada, Pidgeon served for one year.

paragraph: Pidgeon was a supporter of the temperance movement, home missionary service and later in life, was one of the driving forces behind the formation of ecumenical organizations such as the Canadian Council of Churches in 1945 and the World Council of Churches in 1946.

paragraph: He served as minister of Bloor Street United Church for 32 years, retiring in 1948. He died in 1971 at the age of 99.

paragraph: He was best known for his interpretations of Wagnerian roles, and Mozart's big bass roles (Osmin, Sarastro, and the Commendatore), and Baron Ochs von Lerchenau in Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. His repertoire grew to 120 roles, including an impressive list of premieres that include Strauss' "Arabella" (1933) and "Die schweigsame Frau" (1935), Sutermeiste]'s "Romeo und Julia" (1940) and "Die Zauberinsel" (1942), Britten's "The Rape of Lucretia" (1950), Werner Egk's "Irische Legende" (1955), Rolf Liebermann's "Schule der Frauen" (1957) und Isang Yun's "Sim Tjon" (1972).

paragraph: He can be heard on numerous CDs, and seen on video in a speaking-only role (videotaped when he was 75 years old): the Third Priest in "The Magic Flute" (a performance from the "Bayerischen Staatsoper", 1983, conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch and featuring Lucia Popp, Francisco Araiza, and Kurt Moll). One of his earliest recorded performances, forty-two years earlier (1941), was in the role of the Speaker of the Temple of Wisdom in the same opera.

paragraph: Eddie Van Halen

paragraph: Edward Lodewijk Van Halen (born January 26, 1955) is a Dutch-American musician, songwriter, and producer. He is the main songwriter and founder—with brother and drummer Alex Van Halen, bassist Mark Stone, and singer David Lee Roth—of the American hard rock band Van Halen. In 2012, he was voted number one in a "Guitar World" magazine reader's poll for "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Edward Lodewijk van Halen is the son of Jan van Halen and Eugenia van Halen ( van Beers). Jan van Halen was a Dutch clarinetist, saxophonist, and pianist, and Eugenia van Halen was an Indo (Eurasian) from Rangkasbitung on the island of Java in Indonesia. Eddie Van Halen's middle name, "Lodewijk", is the Dutch equivalent of "Ludwig"; he was named after composer Ludwig van Beethoven. (Van Halen later continued the tradition of naming sons after composers when he named his son, Wolfgang Van Halen, after composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.)

paragraph: In February 1962, the Van Halen family moved from the Netherlands to the United States, settling in Pasadena, California. Both Eddie and his older brother, Alex van Halen, are naturalized U.S. citizens. The brothers learned to play the piano as children starting at the age of six. They commuted from Pasadena to San Pedro to study with an elderly teacher, , who taught them classical piano. Although they hated the commute, they continued as their mother would discipline them if they refused to go.

paragraph: Van Halen revealed in an interview that he has never been able to read music. Instead, he learned from watching and listening. During recitals of Bach or Mozart, he would improvise. From 1964 through 1967, he won first place in the annual piano competition held at Long Beach City College. Afterward, the judges would comment that he had an interesting interpretation of the classical piece. Van Halen's view was, "What? I thought I was playing it correctly!" However, according to one interview, playing the piano did not prove to be challenging or interesting to him. Consequently, while Alex began playing the guitar, Eddie bought a drum kit and began practicing for hours every day.

paragraph: After Eddie heard Alex's performance of The Surfaris' drum solo in the song "Wipe Out", he decided to switch instruments and began learning how to play the electric guitar. According to Eddie, as a teen, he would often practice while walking around at home with his guitar strapped on or sitting in his room for hours with the door locked.

paragraph: Eddie and Alex formed their first band with three other boys, calling themselves "The Broken Combs", performing at lunchtime at Hamilton Elementary School in Pasadena, where Eddie was in the fourth grade. Eddie would later say that this was when he first felt the desire to become a professional musician.

paragraph: Eddie has described supergroup Cream's "I'm So Glad" on "Goodbye Cream" to be "mind-blowing". He once claimed that he had learned almost all of Eric Clapton's solos in the band Cream "...note for note." "I've always said Eric Clapton was my main influence," Van Halen said, "but Jimmy Page was actually more the way I am, in a reckless-abandon kind of way."

paragraph: Section::::Van Halen.

paragraph: Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen formed a band in 1972. In 1974, the band changed its name to Van Halen. Van Halen became a staple of the Los Angeles music scene during the mid-1970s, playing at well-known clubs like the Whisky a Go Go. In 1977, Warner Bros. Records offered Van Halen a recording contract.

paragraph: Upon its release, "Van Halen" reached No. 19 on the "Billboard" pop music charts, becoming one of rock's most commercially successful debuts. It was highly regarded as both a heavy metal and hard rock album. By the early 1980s, Van Halen was one of the most successful rock acts of the time. The album "1984" went five-times platinum after a year of release. The lead single "Jump" became the band's first and only No. 1 pop hit and garnered them a Grammy nomination.

paragraph: The band won the 1992 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal for the album "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". As of March 2019, Van Halen is 20th on the RIAA list of best-selling artists in the United States; the band has sold 56 million albums in the States and more than 80 million worldwide. Additionally, Van Halen has charted 13 number-one hits in the history of "Billboard"s Mainstream Rock chart. VH1 ranked the band seventh on a list of the top 100 hard rock artists of all time. In January 2007, Van Halen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Eddie Van Halen has received acclaim for his guitar work in the band.

paragraph: Section::::Other work.

paragraph: Eddie Van Halen has been involved in several projects outside of his eponymous band.

paragraph: In 1982, he played the iconic guitar solo in Michael Jackson's hit single, Beat It.

paragraph: In 1994, he co-wrote the riff of a song with Black Sabbath members, Tony Martin, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, called "Evil Eye" on the "Cross Purposes" album, but he was not credited due to record company restrictions.

paragraph: In 2006, he recorded two new instrumental tracks ("Rise" and "Catherine" which debuted in a pornographic feature entitled "Sacred Sin". The feature was directed by well-known adult film director Michael Ninn, a friend of Eddie's.

paragraph: In 2009, he played a cameo role in the season seven premiere of the sitcom "Two and a Half Men", where he played the main riff from "As Is" from "A Different Kind of Truth".

paragraph: Section::::Style and influence.

paragraph: Van Halen's approach to the guitar involves several distinctive components. His use of two-handed tapping and natural and artificial harmonics, combined with his rhythmic sensibility and melodic approach, have influenced an entire generation of guitarists. Van Halen, like many rock guitarists, has never fully learned to read music.

paragraph: Section::::Style and influence.:Tapping.

paragraph: The 1978 instrumental "Eruption" by Van Halen, which was voted No. 2 in "Guitar World"'s readers poll of the "100 Greatest Guitar Solos", showcased a solo technique called tapping, using both left and right hands on the guitar neck. Although Van Halen popularized tapping, he did not invent the tapping technique, which had been used infrequently by various guitarists. Steve Hackett, lead guitarist with Genesis in the 1970s, is said by MusicRadar to be "widely credited with inventing two-handed tapping" and was an influence on Van Halen. When asked about this, Hackett said, "Eddie and I have never spoken about it, but yes, he has credited me with tapping... Eddie is a fine player, of course, and he's the one who named the technique."

paragraph: George Lynch also said in an interview that he and Van Halen saw Harvey Mandel tap at the Starwood in the 1970s. Van Halen also named Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin as an influence, saying in one interview with "Guitar World":

paragraph: Van Halen also employs tapping harmonics. He holds the pick between his thumb and middle finger, which leaves his index finger free for tapping, and also makes for easy transitions between picking and tapping.

paragraph: Van Halen holds a patent for a flip-out support device that attaches to the rear of the electric guitar. This device enables the user to play the guitar in a manner similar to the piano by orienting the face of the guitar upward instead of forward.

paragraph: Section::::Pickup selection.

paragraph: Van Halen has used a variety of pickups including Gibson PAFs, 1970s Mighty Mites, DiMarzios and Ibanez Super 70s. He was using Mighty Mite pickups in 1977 club photos, just prior to the recording of the first Van Halen album. Mighty Mite pickups were OEM pickups made by Seymour Duncan and were copies of DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups. Seymour Duncan apparently rewound a Gibson PAF for Van Halen around early 1978.

paragraph: His later guitars include various Kramer models from his period of endorsement for that company (most notably the Kramer 5150, from which Kramer in its Gibson-owned days based their Kramer 1984 design, an unofficial artist signature model) and three signature models: the Ernie Ball/Music Man Edward van Halen Model (which continues as the Ernie Ball Axis), the Peavey EVH Wolfgang (which has been succeeded by a similar guitar called the HP Special), and the Charvel EVH Art Series, on which Van Halen does the striping before they are painted by Charvel. His current deal is with Fender, making the EVH series of striped guitars, Wolfgang guitars, and EVH amps.

paragraph: In an interview in "Guitar World" magazine in July 1985, Van Halen states that his "brown sound" is "...basically a tone, a feeling that I'm always working at ... It comes from the person. If the person doesn't even know what that type of tone I'm talking about is, they can't really work towards it, can they?"

paragraph: In an interview with "Billboard" magazine in June 2015, he states that with the expression "brown sound" he actually tried to describe the sound of his brother Alex Van Halen's snare drum, which he thought "...sounds like he’s beating on a log. It’s very organic. So it wasn’t my brown sound. It was Alex's."

paragraph: Section::::Patents.

paragraph: Van Halen is the inventor on . The main claim is for a supporting member on the back of a stringed instrument, allowing the musician to play and/or fret the instrument in new ways.

paragraph: He is the lead inventor of , for the D-Tuna he invented to enable a non-floating Floyd Rose-equipped guitar to quickly change the tuning of the low E string by a whole step.

paragraph: Another patent naming Van Halen as inventor is D388117 for the headstock design for the EVH Wolfgang guitars.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: On August 29, 1980, Eddie met actress Valerie Bertinelli at a Van Halen concert in Shreveport, Louisiana. They married in California on April 11, 1981 and have one son, Wolfgang.

paragraph: Suffering from lingering injuries from past high-risk acrobatic stage antics and crashes, Van Halen underwent hip replacement surgery in November 1999, after his chronic avascular necrosis, with which he was diagnosed in 1995, became unbearable. Van Halen began receiving treatment for tongue cancer in 2000. The subsequent surgery removed roughly a third of his tongue. He was declared cancer-free in 2002.

paragraph: In December 2004, Van Halen attended "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's funeral, and donated the black and yellow guitar featured on the "Van Halen II" album inlay, stating that it was always a favorite of Dimebag's. The guitar was put in Darrell's Kiss Kasket and he was buried with it.

paragraph: On December 5, 2005, Van Halen's wife, Valerie Bertinelli, filed for divorce in Los Angeles after four years of separation. The divorce was finalized in December 2007.

paragraph: Van Halen has struggled with alcoholism and drug abuse. He has stated that he began smoking and drinking at age 12, and that he eventually needed alcohol to function. Van Halen entered rehabilitation in 2007. In a 2015 interview, Van Halen stated that he had been sober since 2008.

paragraph: On October 6, 2008, Van Halen proposed to his girlfriend, Janie Liszewski, an actress and stunt-woman who became Van Halen's publicist in 2007. The two married on June 27, 2009, at his Studio City estate, with his son Wolfgang and Bertinelli in attendance.

paragraph: Eddie's brother Alex officiated the ceremony, while his son served as best man.

paragraph: In August 2012, Van Halen underwent an emergency surgery for a severe bout of diverticulitis.

paragraph: Van Halen has donated 75 of his personal guitars to The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation stating: "I wanted to give back to the community, and especially kids in need who want an instrument but didn’t have the opportunity I had. I wanted to donate instruments because I have so many guitars and nobody would take them... until we found Mr. Holland’s Opus."

paragraph: Rufaida Al-Aslamia

paragraph: Rufaida Al-Aslamia (also transliterated Rufaida Al-Aslamiya or Rufaydah bint Sa`ad) () (born approx. 620 AD; 2 BH) was an Islamic medical and social worker recognized as the first female Muslim nurse and the first female surgeon in Islam.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Personal Background.

paragraph: Among the first people in Madina to accept Islam, Rufaida Al-Aslamia was born into the Bani Aslam tribe of the Khazraj tribal confederation in Medina, and initially gained fame for her contribution with other Ansar women who welcomed the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, on arrival in Medina.

paragraph: Rufaida Al-Aslamia is depicted as a kind, empathetic nurse and a good organizer. With her clinical skills, she trained other women, Including the famous female companions of Muhammad- Khadijah, (if she ,radiAllahuAnha, became muslim after Hijrat, she could not have met UmmulMominin Khdija AleyhaAsalam.) Ayesha, to be nurses and to work in the area of health care. She also worked as a social worker, helping to solve social problems associated with the disease. In addition, she helped children in need and took care of orphans, handicapped and the poor.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.:Familial Ties To Medicine.

paragraph: Born into a family with strong ties to the medical community, Rufaida's father, Sa`ad Al Aslamy, was a physician and mentor under whom Rufaida initially obtained clinical experience. Devoting herself to nursing and taking care of sick people, Rufaida Al-Aslamia became an expert healer. Although not given responsibilities held solely by men such as surgeries and amputations, Rufaida Al-Aslamia practiced her skills in field hospitals in her tent during many battles as Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم used to order all casualties to be carried to her tent so that she might treat them with medical expertise. It has also been documented that Rufaida provided care to injured soldiers during the jihad (holy wars), as well as providing shelter from the wind and heat of the harsh desert for the dying.

paragraph: Section::::Historical Aspects of Female Nursing In Saudi Arabia.:Pre-Islamic and Islamic Era (570–632 AD).

paragraph: Typically presented within the context of Muhammad, the historical development of female nursing and surgery in Arabia from the Islamic Period to the modern times boasts a tumultuous history laden with cultural barriers and public pressures. Though very sparse documentation exists pertaining to the history of nursing in the Pre-Islamic period, a proper understanding of societal and religious paradigms during the reign of Muhammad lends significant insight into the roles and expectation of nurses in antiquity. In marked contrast to the pervading Christian interpretation of disease as a divine punishment for man, Muslims place an extremely high value on the ritual cleansing of the body, daily prayer schedules, and strict dietary regiments. An era in history defined by a number of holy wars, medicinal treatment during the times of Muhammad was largely performed solely by doctors, who would personally visit the patient to diagnose abnormalities and provide medications to those who were in need. Placing the bulk of the biological and physiological responsibilities of a patient on the doctor alone, nurses were limited in their duties to providing physical comfort and emotional support.

paragraph: Section::::Historical Aspects of Female Nursing In Saudi Arabia.:Post-Prophetic to Middle Ages Era (632–1500 AD).

paragraph: With the diminishing intensity of holy wars and mass civil unrest that defined the climate of Islamic culture during the reign of Muhammad, advancements in technology and architecture resulted in the construction of many new hospitals and methods for treating the sick. Though nurses in this period of time were still relegated to rudimentary and noninvasive duties like serving food to patients and administering medicinal liquids, religious and social norms of the times necessitated the segregation of hospital wards based on gender, with males treating males and females treating females. While there has been some relaxation of segregation in contemporary times, the values of many traditional Islamic people are for hospitals and their policies to reflect these past segregational practices.

paragraph: Section::::Revolutions In Nursing Development.:Rufaida Al-Aslamia's Emergence As Nursing Leader.

paragraph: Though still highly limited in the invasiveness of their work, a shift in widely accepted cultural expectations regarding a woman's role in the hospital provided many the opportunity to emerge as leaders in a field previously dominated solely by men. A charismatic and capable leader, published records testify that Rufaida Al-Aslamia, who practiced at the time of Muhammad, was the first Muslim nurse. While there is slight controversy in who is "technically" the first surgeon and nurse in history, Middle Eastern countries attribute the status of the first ever nurse to Rufaida, a Muslim surgeon and nurse.

paragraph: Section::::Revolutions In Nursing Development.:Acute Care Origins.

paragraph: Rufaida Al-Aslamia implemented her clinical skills and medical experience into developing the first ever documented mobile care units that were able to meet the medical needs of the community. The scope of the majority of her work in her organized medical command units consisted primarily in hygiene and stabilizing patients prior to further and more invasive medical procedures. During military expeditions, Rufaida Al-Aslamia led groups of volunteer nurses who went to the battlefield and treated the casualties. She participated in the battles of Badr, Uhud, Khandaq, Khaibar, and others.

paragraph: During times of peace, Rufaida Al-Aslamia continued her involvement with humanitarian efforts by providing assistance to Muslims who were in need.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Rufaidah had trained a group of women companions as nurses. When Muhammad's army was getting ready to go to the battle of Khaibar, Rufaidah and the group of volunteer nurses went to Muhammad. They asked him for permission "O Messenger of Allah, we want to go out with you to the battle and treat the injured and help Muslims as much as we can". Muhammad gave them permission to go. The nurse volunteers did such a good job that Muhammad assigned a share of the bounty to Rufaidah. Her share was equivalent to that of soldiers who had actually fought. This was in recognition of her medical and nursing work.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Rufaida Al-Aslamia Prize In Nursing.

paragraph: Each year the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland at the University of Bahrain awards one student the coveted and prestigious Rufaida Al-Aslamia Prize in Nursing. The award winner determined by a panel of senior clinical medical staff members, the Rufaida Al-Aslamia Prize in Nursing is given to the student who consistently excels in delivering superb nursing care to patients.

paragraph: Geo von Lengerke (born August 31, 1827 "Georg Ernst Heinrich von Lengerke", Dohnsen (Weser) in the then Duchy of Brunswick in northern Germany; died July 1882 in Zapatoca, Santander, Colombia) was a German engineer, merchant and landowner.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Possibly running from the law after killing a man in a duel over a woman, Von Lengerke left Germany and went to Colombia in 1852, where he settled down in the then state of Santander. Once settled, he dedicated himself to cultivation of cinchona (quina) and its commercialization as well as road construction and land development. His property spread over 12,000 hectares. His best-known haciendas were "Montebello" and "El Florito", located in what is now the town of Betulia, where he lived in a semi-feudal life of extravagance.

paragraph: The eventual failure of his colonization project, construction of an alternative route to the Magdalena River and the decline of the market for cinchona diminished his fortune and left him in ruin.

paragraph: His name and figure became legendary in the region, and the 1977 novel by Pedro Gómez Valderrama, ""La otra raya del tigre"" (The tiger's other stripe) was based upon his life.

paragraph: Charles Philip of Brandenburg-Schwedt

paragraph: Margrave Charles Philip of Brandenburg-Schwedt (5 January 1673 in Sparnberg – 23 July 1695 in Casale Monferrato) was a Hohenzollern prince and a titular Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt. Near the end of his life he became Grand Master of the Order of Saint John (Bailiwick of Brandenburg).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Charles Philip was the third surviving son of the "Great Elector", Frederick William of Brandenburg (1620–1688) from his second marriage with Sophia Dorothea (1636–1689), the daughter of Philip, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.

paragraph: In 1693, Charles Philip proved himself at the Battle of Neerwinden and was promoted to Lieutenant General by his brother Frederick I. He participated in the War of the Palatine Succession at the head of an auxiliary contingent. He joined the main force of Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia in Turin.

paragraph: In Turin, he met Countess Caterina di Salmour (1670-1719), widow of Giovanni Gabaleone, Count di Salmour and daughter of Geofredo Alberico Balbiani, Marchese di Colcavagno by his wife, Marta-Maria Benso di Cavour, heiress of Isolabella. On the afternoon of 29 May 1695 three officers of Brandenburg's army, Col. Ludwig von Blumenthal, Lt. Col. von Hackeborn and Col. von Stille learned that Charles Philipp had lodged in the recently ruined Palace of Venaria, near Turin, where he was about to marry the Countess di Salmour in secret. They hurried towards La Venaria. As they neared the château, the Margrave’s Master of the Horse met them on the road and confirmed the rumour. The Margrave had invited a small gathering to his secret wedding, including three women who were friends of the Countess, her brother Flaminio Balbiano, and some local Torino notables; on the German side were a Prince of Hesse-Cassel and a Captain Beaupré, currently serving in Brandenburg’s army. The local priest Fr. Galli was summoned, and before him and in the presence of Abbot Alexander del Marro and the Chevalier Parella, they declared their determination to marry. But the priest refused to co-operate on the grounds that they were not his parishioners. The Abbot and Captain Beaupré fought; Staff intervened and the Margrave then fell upon the Master of Horse with drawn sword, who fled.

paragraph: Riding on, the three colonels came upon the Margrave, heading for the Countess’ house in Turin in his carriage with his escort. They joined the cavalcade, and when they reached the destination the Prince’s advisors implored him not to carry on. Neither the Elector of Brandenburg, nor the Duke of Savoy recognized the marriage. To avoid diplomatic complications, Duke Victor Amadeus imprisoned Caterina in a convent. The Curia supported Charles Philip's claim that the marriage was legal, in the hope that he would convert to Catholicism. While the issue was still being debated, Charles Philip died of a fever or (it was said) of a broken heart. He was buried in the Hohenzollern family crypt in Berlin Cathedral.

paragraph: Two years later, Rome ruled that the marriage was valid. The Elector still did not recognize it.

paragraph: In 1707, Caterina married the Saxon general Count .

paragraph: Frederick G. Donnan

paragraph: Frederick George Donnan CBE FRS FRSE (6 September 1870 – 16 December 1956) was an Irish physical chemist who is known for his work on membrane equilibria, and commemorated in the Donnan equilibrium describing ionic transport in cells. He spent most of his career at University College London.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Donnan was born in Colombo, Ceylon, the son of William Donnan, a Belfast merchant, and his wife, Jane Ross Turnley Liggate. He spent his early life in Ulster. He was blind in one eye as the result of a childhood accident, and is often shown in profile. He studied at Queen's College, Belfast gaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1894, then at the University of Leipzig with Wilhelm Ostwald, resulting in a PhD in 1896, followed by research with J. H. van't Hoff. Donnan then became a research student at University College London, joining the academic staff in 1901.

paragraph: In 1903 he became a lecturer on organic chemistry at the Royal College of Science, Dublin, followed a chair in physical chemistry at the University of Liverpool in 1906. In 1913 he returned to University College London, where he remained until his retirement, serving as Head of Department from 1928 to 1937.

paragraph: He died in Canterbury on 16 December 1956. He was unmarried and had no children.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: During the First World War, Donnan was a consultant to the Ministry of Munitions, and worked with chemical engineer K. B. Quinan on plants for the fixation of nitrogen, for compounds essential for the manufacture of munitions. It was for this work that Donnan received the CBE in 1920. It was also during this period that he coined the word aerosol. He was said to have been "an early enthusiast for the new discipline of chemical engineering", and following the war was closely involved with the company Brunner Mond in the development of a major chemical works at Billingham.

paragraph: Donnan's 1911 paper on membrane equilibrium was important for leather and gelatin technology, but even more so for understanding the transport of materials between living cells and their surroundings. It was on this so-called Donnan equilibrium that he frequently was asked to lecture across Europe and America, and is largely the only scientific research for which he is remembered today. The Donnan equilibrium remains an important concept for understanding ion transport in cells.

paragraph: Just before World War II, Donnan was active in helping European refugees wanting to flee from the Nazis. Among those he assisted were Hermann Arthur Jahn and Edward Teller, who wrote their paper on the Jahn-Teller effect while in London.

paragraph: Section::::Positions held.

paragraph: Founder member of the Faraday Society and its president from 1924-6.

paragraph: Eumachia

paragraph: Eumachia was the public priestess of the Imperial cult in Pompeii during the middle of the 1st century AD as well as the matron of the Concordia Augusta. The Concordia Augustus was an imperial cult initiated by Livia, widow of Augustus, dedicated to the Divus Augustus, the deified emperor Augustus.

paragraph: Section::::Family history and significance.

paragraph: The daughter of Lucius (Eumachius), she is reported to have obtained her great wealth in her own right as a very successful matron. Of inconsequential origin, she sought a higher social status by marrying into one of the older families of Pompeii. Eumachia was also known as the matron of the fullers, an economically significant guild in Pompeii which consisted of dyers and clothing-makers. Eumachia's importance in Roman history stems from how she is seen as a prime example of how a Roman woman of non-imperial descent could become involved in public affairs. She is also viewed as a model for the increasing involvement of women in politics, using the power of a public priestess for social mobility.

paragraph: Section::::Euergetism.

paragraph: Using her wealth and status, Eumachia funded the construction of a large building next to the public forum in Pompeii. This is an example of the idea of euergetism, the socio-political phenomenon of voluntary gift-giving, which exerted an influence on the wealthy people of her time period.

paragraph: The presumed use of this building was to serve as the headquarters for the fullers’ guild, although its exact use is uncertain. She dedicated this building, known as the Building of Eumachia, to Concordia Augusta and to Pietas. In addition, statues of Tiberius, the emperor during her life, and Livia, his mother, were found on this inside, along with inscriptions on the outside of the building which included dedications to them. Finally, she dedicated the building to her son, Marcus Numistrius Fronto.

paragraph: Section::::Statue.

paragraph: In response to her generosity, and symbolic of her power and social status, the fullers built a statue depicting Eumachia in the veiled form of a priestess. They inscribed into its foundation a dedication. The rough translation of this inscription is: "to Eumachia, daughter of Lucius, public priestess of Pompeian Venus, from the fullers." See Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum: "EVMACHIAE L F SACERD PVBL FVLLONES,” .

paragraph: Joseph Idlout (? - 2 June 1968) is an Inuk featured on the former Canadian two-dollar bill. When the High Arctic relocation occurred in 1959, Idlout helped Inuit families adjust to their new surroundings in Resolute, Northwest Territories (now Nunavut).

paragraph: In 1954, due to the lack of foxes in the Pond Inlet area, Idlout requested that he move to Resolute. The government was not supportive of the move but finally relented and Idlout moved in 1955.

paragraph: Section::::Documentaries.

paragraph: Idlout came to public attention after the release of the 1952 documentary "Land of the Long Day". At the time Idlout was living in Pond Inlet and was known for his ability as a hunter and leader at the camps. The publicity of the film has led to him being called the "most famous Inuit" of his time.

paragraph: He was posthumously the subject of the 1990 documentary film "Between Two Worlds", directed by Barry Greenwald and produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and Investigative Productions Inc. In the one-hour documentary, Idlout's son, Peter Paniloo takes viewers on a journey through his father's life. The film is included in the NFB's Inuit film collection, "". "Between Two Worlds" is a continuation of Idlout's life after the making of "Land of the Long Day" until his death in 1968, when he drove a snowmobile over a cliff after drinking at the Royal Canadian Air Force base.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He is the grandfather of rock singer Lucie Idlout. Idlout's daughter, Leah Idlout, has said that her father was the son of Joseph-Elzéar Bernier. It is thought that Idlout may have been the only son of Bernier.

paragraph: James Forlong

paragraph: James George Roche Forlong (6 November 1824 – 29 March 1904) was a Major General of the Indian Army who trained as a civil engineer in Scotland and England. He was renowned for his road-building skills through the jungles of India and Burma and for his studies on comparative religion.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born at Springhall in Lanarkshire on 6 November 1824, the third son of William Forlong of Erines and his wife, who was the eldest daughter of General Gordon Cumming Skene of Dyce in Aberdeenshire.

paragraph: He joined the Indian Army in 1843 and fought in the Mahrata Campaign of 1845-46. He later filled various posts including that of Secretary and Chief Engineer to the government of Oudh. In 1858/59 he travelled extensively in Egypt, Syria and the Middle East.

paragraph: Exposure to Indian religions while doing missionary work led him to abandon his Christian faith, and into some very heterodox ideas about religious origins, including those of the ancient Hebrews. These found expression in his massive work of comparative religion, "Rivers of Life", with its markedly sexual, some would say blasphemous, interpretation of religious rites and symbolism.

paragraph: He retired from the army in 1876 and then concentrated on writing, mainly on the comparison of various religions. His huge opus "Rivers of Life" was followed by "Faiths of Man: A Cyclopaedia of Religions" which was published posthumously in 1906.

paragraph: Forlong was a rationalist. He was an Honorary Associate of the Rationalist Press Association, to which he left a sum of money in his will.

paragraph: He died at home, 11 Douglas Crescent in Edinburgh's West End on 29 March 1904. He is buried in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh with his wife Lavinia ("Nina") Reddie. The grave lies in the northern Victorian extension attaching the original cemetery on one of the north-south paths.

paragraph: Section::::Rivers of Life.

paragraph: ""...the shower of phallicism that burst upon the reading public in the shape of General Forlong's "Rivers of Life""."

paragraph: The book is in two large volumes together with a huge coloured Chronological Chart of the Religions of the World representing different currents:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Tree Worship

paragraph: BULLET::::- Phallic Worship

paragraph: BULLET::::- Serpent Worship

paragraph: BULLET::::- Fire Worship

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sun Worship

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ancestor Worship

paragraph: All of these originated very early in mankind’s history, and form streams flowing down the millennia and separating and commingling into the major religions.

paragraph: Section::::Some Themes.

paragraph: Like Payne-Knight, D’Hancarville and Hargrave Jennings he is of the phallicist school of religious anthropology. Phallic worship had two wings, the right hand, or lingam and the left had path of the yoni worshipers,

paragraph: The Garden of Eden story was simply that of human generation. Eve bruised the serpent’s head and he bruised what is euphemistically called her heel.

paragraph: The Ark of the Covenant represented a female sex organ or yoni, and the two stones it contained signified testicles.

paragraph: The early Jews practiced a most crude and extreme form of phallic worship. Elohim was the same as Baal and their worship was lingamist, the Yahweh worshiping revolt against it (spearheaded by the prophets) was a pro-yoni movement, like Indian Shaktism.

paragraph: Christian churches are constructed on phallic principles.

paragraph: All these ideas are backed up with great erudition and parallels from antiquity, India and the far east.

paragraph: Section::::Selected publications.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Rivers of Life" ("Volume 1", "Volume 2", 1883)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Through what Historical Channels did Buddhism Influence Early Christianity?" ("Open Court", 1887)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Short Studies in the Science of Comparative Religions: Embracing All the Religions of Asia" (1897)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Faiths of Man: Cyclopaedia of Religions" (3 volumes, 1906)

paragraph: Section::::Quotes.

paragraph: "The numerous tales of holy trees groves and gardens repeated everywhere and in every possible form justify me in my belief that Tree Worship was first known and after it came Lingam or Phallic, with of course the female form A-dama."

paragraph: "He [the Serpent] is the special Phallic symbol which veils the actual God and therefore do we find him the constant early attendant upon Priapus or Lingam, which I regard as the second religion of the world."

paragraph: "Phallic Worship, the second if not the first of man’s faiths."

paragraph: Jeremy Hazelbaker

paragraph: Jeremy Philip Hazelbaker (born August 14, 1987) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Sioux City Explorers of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks, and in the KBO League for the Kia Tigers.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Draft and Boston Red Sox organization.

paragraph: Hazelbaker was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the fourth round of the 2009 MLB Draft out of Ball State University. He opened 2009 with the Lowell Spinners, before being promoted to the Greenville Drive (2009–10), Salem Red Sox (2011), Portland Sea Dogs (2011–12), and Pawtucket Red Sox (2012). He batted a combined .259/.345/.434 line with 49 home runs and 157 stolen bases in 409 games.

paragraph: Hazelbaker returned to Pawtucket in 2013. He posted a .257/.313/3.74 line with 11 home runs and 54 RBI in 121 games, including 62 runs scored, 37 stolen bases, and 26 extra bases.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Los Angeles Dodgers organization.

paragraph: On October 23, 2013, Hazelbaker was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Alex Castellanos. He was assigned to the AA Chattanooga Lookouts. In 2014, he was selected to the mid-season Southern League All-Star game. In 87 games with the Lookouts and another 22 with the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes, he hit .244. He was assigned to the AA Tulsa Drillers of the Texas League to start the 2015 season. He hit .245 in 14 games and was released by the organization on May 1, 2015.

paragraph: A few days later, Hazelbaker signed a minor league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals and was assigned to the AA Springfield Cardinals. In 40 games with Springfield, Hazelbaker batted .308 with 19 extra base hits. The Cardinals then promoted him to the Memphis Redbirds of the Pacific Coast League (PCL). He was named PCL Player of the Week on July 13, 2015, after leading the league in total bases, extra base hits, and RBI. At Memphis, he played in 58 games, batting .333 with 10 home runs and 46 RBI.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:St. Louis Cardinals organization.:Major League debut (2016).

paragraph: On March 31, 2016, the Cardinals announced Hazelbaker had made the major league roster; he played primarily as a backup outfielder and pinch hitter. He made his major league debut on April 3 as a pinch hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates after 751 games in the minor leagues. His hitting performances in the first two weeks of the season thus caught national headlines. Hazelbaker's first MLB hit was a double on April 5 and first home run was the next day; both hits were against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

paragraph: On April 8, Hazelbaker's second major league home run became part of a unique event in major league history. Playing against the Atlanta Braves, he, Aledmys Díaz, and Greg Garcia established a new MLB record by each hitting a pinch hit home run, becoming the first trio to hit three pinch hit home runs in one game for the same team. The previous record of two pinch hit home runs by the same team in the same game had previously occurred on 57 occasions, most recently in 2011. The Cardinals won this contest, 7–4. That home run also gave him two in his first four career games, joining Joe Cunningham (1954) as the only Cardinals to accomplish the feat. His first career four-hit game, including his first career triple, came in a 10–1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on April 11. In the month of April, he batted .317, .357 OBP, .683 SLG, five home runs, and 13 RBI.

paragraph: The Cardinals optioned Hazelbaker to Memphis on June 15, 2016, after hitting .250 with seven home runs and 19 RBI. During a game against the New Orleans Zephyrs on June 28, Hazelbaker was instantly ejected when he charged the mound for José Ureña, who had nearly hit him in the head. Hazelbaker also flipped his bat and avoided a left punch from Ureña. After playing 13 games for Memphis and batting .325 with one home run and 11 RBI, St. Louis recalled Hazelbaker on July 19, 2016.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Arizona Diamondbacks organization.

paragraph: On November 4, 2016, the Arizona Diamondbacks claimed Hazelbaker off waivers. He was designated for assignment on April 6, 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.

paragraph: On April 10, 2018, Hazelbaker was claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Rays and optioned to AAA Durham Bulls.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Minnesota Twins.

paragraph: On July 12, 2018, Hazelbaker was traded to the Minnesota Twins. He became a free agent after the season ended.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Kia Tigers.

paragraph: On November 18, 2018, Hazelbaker signed with the Kia Tigers of the KBO League. He was released after appearing in just 11 games on May 10, 2019.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Sioux City Explorers.

paragraph: On July 28, 2019, Hazelbaker signed with the Sioux City Explorers of the independent American Association.

paragraph: William Jennings Demorest (aka W. Jennings Demorest) (1822–1895), from New York City, was an American magazine publisher, national prohibition leader, and, in collaboration with his second wife, Ellen Demorest, née Curtis, attained international success from his wife's development of paper patterns for sewing fashion apparel of the day. Together, they built a fashion manufacturing and merchandising empire from it.

paragraph: He and his wife launched five magazines and started a cosmetics company. He individually patented a sewing machine and a velocipede.

paragraph: Demorest harbored lifelong political and religious aspirations. He is widely known for being a Prohibition activist and ran for Mayor of New York City on the Prohibition ticket. He also organized the Anti-Nuisance League.

paragraph: BULLET::::1. In 1845, Demorest married Margaret Willamina Poole (1823–1857), daughter of Joseph and Jeannette Poole. While living on Varick Street, they had two children: (i) Vienna Willamina Demorest (1847-?) and Henry Clay Demorest (1850–1928).

paragraph: BULLET::::2. On April 15, 1858, Demorest married Ellen Louise Curtis (1825–1898) — a US fashion arbiter. She was a successful milliner who invented mass-produced tissue-paper dressmaking patterns. With her husband, she established a company to sell the patterns, which were adaptations of the latest French fashions, and a magazine to promote them (1860). She was born in Schuylerville, New York. Her dressmaking patterns made French styles accessible to ordinary women, thus greatly influencing US fashion.
