paragraph: John Tolos

paragraph: John Tolos, nicknamed "The Golden Greek", (September 18, 1930 – May 28, 2009) was a Greek-Canadian professional wrestler, and professional wrestling manager.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.

paragraph: John was born on September 18, 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario to Greek parents, Nicolaos and Evangelia (Evangeline) Tolos. During the 1950s and 60s, Tolos was part of the Canadian Wrecking Crew with his brother Chris Tolos. On December 28, 1963, John and Chris captured the WWWF United States Tag Team Championship in Teaneck, New Jersey in two straight falls from Gorilla Monsoon and Killer Kowalski. While both teams were heels at the time, the Tolos Brothers did a television interview prior to the title match, "looking forward" to seeing all of their fans in Teaneck. That night, they were cheered throughout. As a vicious heel known as the "Golden Greek", Tolos also engaged in a long time rivalry with "Classy" Freddie Blassie in the LeBell family's Los Angeles territory, often feuding over the Americas Championship.

paragraph: Tolos had a run in Herb Abrams' Universal Wrestling Federation from 1990 to mid-1991, managing Cowboy Bob Orton, Cactus Jack and The Power Twins as well as serving as color commentator on the UWF's "Fury Hour" program.

paragraph: Tolos joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) for a brief stint in mid-1991 as Coach (a classic coach, whistle and all), managing The Beverly Brothers and "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig, replacing Hennig's former manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who was then moving into a full-time broadcaster's role. When a back injury sidelined Hennig for more than a year, Tolos was replaced by The Genius as The Beverly Brothers' manager and departed the WWF.

paragraph: Tolos would return to Abrams' UWF as color commentator from 1992 through the promotion's final show in 1994.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Tolos died in Los Angeles, California on May 29, 2009. His death was from kidney failure following a series of heart attacks and strokes.

paragraph: Albertas Manvydas

paragraph: Albertas Manvydas or Albertas Vaitiekus Manvydas (; died in 1423) was a Lithuanian noble, the first Voivode of Vilnius and founder of the Manvydai family. During the turbulent disputes over Samogitia, he was sent as a negotiation to the Teutonic Knights. Along with Stanislovas Čiupurna, Manvydas was the most influential noble during the early reign of Grand Duke Vytautas.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Manvydas was first mentioned in a document dated 1387–89 when he, along other nobles, vouched for Hryćka Konstantynowicza who organized a rebellion against Skirgaila, regent of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the name of his brother Jogaila. He was starosta of Vilnius from 1396 to 1413. After an administrative reform that established Vilnius Voivodeship in 1413, Manvydas became the first Voivode of Vilnius and held that position until his death. During the First Samogitian uprising, he was sent on diplomatic missions to the Teutonic Knights and helped negotiate the Peace of Raciąż (1404). Very likely he commanded a Lithuanian squad in the Battle of Grunwald. He participated in the 1413 Union of Horodło and received Leliwa coat of arms. Manvydas was among Lithuanian diplomats negotiating with Benedict Makrai, mediator of the Lithuanian–Teutonic dispute over Samogitia.

paragraph: "Die Littauischen Wegeberichte" mentioned Manewidendorf near Hieraniony (now in Belarus). Other patronymic territories included Vishnyeva, Zhuprany, and possibly Braslaw. He also had possessions in Vilnius. He funded the Chapel of St. Albert and St. George within Vilnius Cathedral, which is possibly the present-day Chapel of Ignatius of Loyola, and was buried there. He also funded a Catholic church in Braslaw.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: The document from 1387–89 recorded his patronymic name as Коиликиновичъ which allows to deconstruct his father's name as Gailiginas (Kojlikin, Gojligin). Manvydas was his pagan Lithuanian name. When Lithuania converted to Christianity, he was given Albertas (Albert) as his baptismal name. Since Wojciech is interchangeable with Albert in the Polish language, he is also known as Wojciech (). Manvydas was a brother of Jurgis Gedgaudas, starosta of Podolia, who became Voivode of Vilnius after Manvydas' death.

paragraph: Manvydas was married twice: Jadvyga and Juliania. Jadviga's origin is unknown. Polish historians Władysław Semkowicz and Marceli Antoniewicz have attempted to identify her with who adopted Manvydas in the 1413 Union of Horodło. Information on Juliana is conflicting. "Origo regis Jagyelo et Witholdi ducum Lithuaniae" mentions that Juliana, who later married Manvydas, was wife of Butrimas, the murdered nephew of Birutė and cousin of Vytautas. Jan Długosz mentions that Juliana was a widow of Narimantas, who died in defense of Vilnius in 1390, and a sister of Anna, wife of Vytautas. Manvydas had one known son Jonas Manvydas.

paragraph: Sidney Meyers

paragraph: Sidney Meyers (March 9, 1906 – December 4, 1969), also known by the pen name Robert Stebbins was an American film director and editor.

paragraph: Sidney Meyers is best known for two documentary films: "The Quiet One", which he wrote and directed, and for which he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay; and British Academy of Film and Television Arts winner "The Savage Eye", which he co-directed, co-produced and co-scripted with Joseph Strick and Ben Maddow.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Sidney Meyers was born in New York City on March 9, 1906 and grew up in East Harlem, then a teeming immigrant neighborhood. He was the eldest child of Abraham and Ida (née Rudock) Meyers, who had immigrated from Poland to the United States around the start of the 20th century. Abraham, a paper-hanger and activist in the Painters and Paper-hangers Union, District Council 9, of the AFL, supported the family as best he could. It was noticed early on that Sidney loved music; a Jewish charitable women's organization arranged for him to have the use of a violin and to receive music lessons when he was a young school-child.

paragraph: During his years at De Witt Clinton High School Meyers played in the school's award-winning orchestra and joined the American Orchestral Society. While at the City College of New York, majoring in English literature, he continued to play the violin, and later the viola. On completing his studies he spent some three years as a member of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, then conducted by Maestro Fritz Reiner.

paragraph: On his return to New York City, where he lived for the rest of his life with his wife Edna (née Ocko) and their son Nicholas, Meyers became interested in film-making and began to search for work in the fields of directing and editing, while playing the violin and viola in a Work Projects Administration orchestra. As was the case with many sons and daughters of immigrant families during the seemingly-endless Great Depression, he was drawn to left-wing political ideas. Using the pen-name of Robert Stebbins he wrote on the cinema for the left-wing arts magazine New Theatre.

paragraph: Meyers worked for the Federal Arts Project of the Work Projects Administration; in 1937 his film "People of the Cumberland" appeared under its auspices. During World War II Meyers served first as the chief American film editor for the British Ministry of Information and later worked as a film editor for the US Office of War Information.

paragraph: After the end of the War Meyers established a career as a free-lance film editor. He collaborated with directors, producers and other film artists, all of whom felt that his contribution was not limited to editing, as central as the latter may be to the work. Indeed he is best remembered for those films which he directed and wrote, and for which he served as consultant.

paragraph: Meyers's television editing credits include supervision of the CBS television series "East Side, West Side"; "The Power and the Glory" with Laurence Olivier; "The Slaves", with Dionne Warwick; the "Wisdom Series"; "Assignment India"; "Assignment – Southeast Asia".

paragraph: "The Quiet One", which Meyers directed and scripted, established him as one of the leaders in the genre of documentary drama. Meyers collaborated with Ben Maddow and Joseph Strick in the production of "The Savage Eye", and with Samuel Beckett and Alan Schneider on "Film" (film). His contribution to "Edge of the City" was vital.

paragraph: Meyers continued to work until his untimely death from cancer in 1969: he served as consultant for "The Queen" (1968), and was script consultant for Joseph Strick's film adaptation of James Joyce's "Ulysses". Shortly before his death he completed the editing of Joseph Strick's "The Tropic of Cancer".

paragraph: Shortly after his death, the Sidney Meyers Memorial Scholarship Fund was established at the City College of New York.

paragraph: Section::::Film editing in the pre-digital era.

paragraph: Until well after Meyers's death the main tool of film editing was the Moviola (or Movieola), a machine in which film was viewed, cut, and recombined manually. Ralph Rosenblum, who was mentored by Meyers, describes the exhausting process from the editor's point of view: "I sit in a corner at one of the Moviolas piecing together a sequence that was shot from five different perspectives. I work quickly, long lengths of film flying through my white-gloved right hand. I stop, mark the film with a grease pencil, fly on, make another mark, cut, splice together the desired portions, and hang up the trims, pieces of deleted film. … Five film barrels crowd the cutting room, with long trims hanging into them from an overhead rod. There's a lot of film on the floor—not rejected film, as the cliché has it, but film that's in the process of being reviewed or edited or wound" ("When the Shooting Stops", pp. 5–6).

paragraph: Section::::"The Quiet One".

paragraph: Meyers is arguably best remembered for "The Quiet One" (1948), a documentary which he directed, and for which he was one of the script writers. The documentary tells the story of the rehabilitation of a young, emotionally disturbed African-American boy; it contains text written by James Agee and narrated by Gary Merrill. In a 1949 review, Bosley Crowther defined the film: "Out of the tortured experiences of a 10-year-old Harlem Negro boy, cruelly rejected by his loved ones but rescued by the people of the Wiltwyck School, a new group of local film-makers has fashioned a genuine masterpiece in the way of a documentary drama."

paragraph: The still photographer Helen Levitt was one of the film's cinematographers and writers, along with the painter Janice Loeb. Ulysses Kay wrote the score for the film. The film's three writers - Meyers, Loeb, and Levitt - were nominated for the Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Academy Award; the film itself was also nominated for the Best Documentary Feature Academy Award. The National Board of Review named "The Quiet One" the second best film of 1949.

paragraph: Section::::"Edge of the City".

paragraph: "Edge of the City" (1957), which Meyers edited, was directed by Martin Ritt and starred John Cassavetes, Sidney Poitier, Jack Warden, Kathleen Maguire and Ruby Dee. The score was composed by Leonard Rosenman. "Edge of the City" was based on Robert Alan Arthur's screenplay which was the final episode of "The Philco Television Playhouse": "A Man Is Ten Feet Tall" (1955). Although produced by MGM the film received a low budget; MGM feared that because of its racial content it could not be shown in the southern US, and indeed because of the refusal of theaters in the South and elsewhere to screen the film, it was not a commercial success.

paragraph: The film was considered unusual for its time not only because of its portrayal of an interracial friendship, but also because the main African-American character was in a position of authority over the white; and also due to hints that the character played by Cassavetes might be homosexual. "Edge of the City" was praised by representatives of the NAACP, the Urban League, the American Jewish Committee, among others, for its courageous depiction of an interracial friendship.

paragraph: Section::::"The Savage Eye".

paragraph: "The Savage Eye" (1959) is a documentary drama which conflates a dramatic narration of the life of a divorced woman with documentary camera footage from an unnamed American city (actually Los Angeles) in the 1950s. It stars Barbara Baxley.

paragraph: The film was written, produced, directed, and edited by Meyers, Ben Maddow and Joseph Strick. The camera footage was done by cinematographers Haskell Wexler, Helen Levitt and Jack Couffer; the music is by Leonard Rosenman. "The Savage Eye" won the 1960 BAFTA Flaherty Documentary Award as well as several film festival prizes.

paragraph: "The Savage Eye" belongs to the cinema vérité movement of the 1950s and '60s. In the words of John Hagan: "One can see how, in its study of a woman whose marital problems have estranged her from the world, it anticipated, if not influenced, such films as The Misfits, Red Desert, and Juliet of the Spirits."

paragraph: Section::::Influences.

paragraph: Among those cinematic currents which may be said to have influenced Meyers's work were Romanticism: notably Robert J. Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922). The latter was filmed on site, using local people and claiming to show their lives as they really were. Such films were staged, however; Flaherty famously had his subject kill a walrus with a harpoon rather than use his gun.

paragraph: Another major influence on young film-makers of the 1920s and '30s was Realism. The latter, largely a European tradition, included "city symphony" films, which aimed to show people as products of the man-made environment in which they lived. Walter Ruttman's Berlin, Symphony of a City (1927), is an example. In the USSR Kino-Pravda ("cinematic truth") was developed by Dziga Vertov, who created Soviet news-reels during the 1920s. According to Vertov's cinematic philosophy the movie, via techniques such as slow motion, time lapse, fast motion, close-ups and of course editing, could produce a rendition of reality more accurate than that perceived by the human eye.

paragraph: Meyers's influence can be discerned in cinema verité and its close relative direct cinema. Enabled by the development of convenient, portable cameras and means of synchronizing sound, cinema verité often involved following a person during moments of personal crisis. The place of editing in creating the final artistic product is so central that the editor is on occasion given credit as consultant, or even co-director.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Shortly before his death Meyers began to write notes for a book which was never published. The following is from these notes:

paragraph: "On one level film editing is like editing in general, literary editing, writing a piece of literature, preparing a book review or any presentation, selling an idea, putting it over. General principles maintain, clarity of ideas, coherence, emphasis on chief idea, lining up of proofs, and substantiation, avoidance of repetition, avoidance of belaboring the obvious, in other words, granting the reader intelligence but at the same time stressing value of your contribution to his fund of knowledge. A sense of when you've made your case and that any further exposition on it will be overdoing matters. These are by no means easy objectives to attain but necessary to obtain, nevertheless. ...

paragraph: The film is very different. It is an expression in continuity. Its own qualities, its own dynamics. There is no turning back or leaping ahead unless you are permitted to do so by the film itself. Film is a Form in Continuity, within a more or less restricted frame. This frame is its entire world. Nothing exists outside of it. And whatever happens within it is autonomous."

paragraph: Mike Hicks (trade unionist)

paragraph: Michael Joseph Hicks (1 August 19377 September 2017) was a British politician, executive member of printers’ union SOGAT, and general secretary of the Communist Party of Britain.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Hicks joined the Young Communist League in 1953 and later the Communist Party of Great Britain. He worked as a printer and was a member of the Society of Graphical and Allied Trades (SOGAT). A full-time branch official for the union in 1986, Hicks was arrested and convicted of actual bodily harm during the Wapping dispute. His conviction and sentencing – to 12 months in prison – were controversial, with the national executive committee of the Labour Party voting unanimously to call for his release. He was expelled from the CPGB in 1984 "for allowing Rule 3(d) to be applied" as the chair of the London District Congress, i.e. continuing with the congress proceedings in defiance of a demand from CPGB General Secretary Gordon McLennan to close it down.

paragraph: He subsequently joined the Communist Campaign Group, mainly composed of those expelled from the CPGB for their opposition to revisionism and, in 1988, was a founding member of the Communist Party of Britain. Hicks served as its general secretary until his replacement by Robert Griffiths in 1998, which led to an industrial dispute at the "Morning Star" and subsequently left the party and helped to form the Marxist Forum group. He served as the trade union officer of the London-based Marx Memorial Library from 2005 to 2010. He joined the Labour Party, and unsuccessfully stood as a council election candidate in the Boscombe East ward of Bournemouth on 5 May 2011, gaining 514 votes.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Hicks died at age 80 on the evening of 7 September 2017 after collapsing while accepting the position of Honorary President of Bournemouth Labour Party at its annual general meeting.

paragraph: Pietro Vesconte

paragraph: Pietro Vesconte (fl. 1310–1330) was a Genoese cartographer and geographer. A pioneer of the field of the portolan chart, he influenced Italian and Catalan mapmaking throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. He appears to have been the first professional mapmaker to sign and date his works regularly.

paragraph: Although Vesconte was born in Genoa, he produced much of his work in Venice. He was active between 1310 and 1330, producing numerous maps. His nautical charts are among the earliest to map the Mediterraean and Black Sea regions accurately. He also produced progressively more accurate depictions of the coastlines of northern Europe, in particular that of Britain and, to a lesser extent, Ireland.

paragraph: Pietro Vesconte's 1311 portolan chart of the east Mediterranean is the oldest signed and dated nautical chart that survives from the medieval period. He is also the author of at least four signed multi-sheet atlases (1313, 1318a, 1318b, c. 1321), where the various sheets can be combined into a single nautical chart. There is also an atlas (1321) and a solitary portolan chart (1327) signed by "Perrino Vesconte", assumed to be either Pietro himself or possibly a younger relative member of his family using a diminutive form of 'Pietro'. The image of a mapmaker at work, which appears in a Vesconte atlas of 1318, may depict the chartmaker himself.

paragraph: Pietro Vesconti brought his experience as a maker of portolans to bear on the mappa mundi (circular world map) he produced, which introduced a previously unheard of accuracy to the genre. He provided a world map, nautical atlas, a map of the Holy Land and plan of Acre and Jerusalem for inclusion in Marino Sanuto's "Liber secretorum fidelium cruces", a work which aimed to encourage a new crusade. There are three known copies of Sanuto's "Liber" (c. 1320–21, c. 1321, c. 1325) that include Vesconte's maps, only the first of which is signed; the latter two are confidently assumed to have been done by him, or at least under his direction.

paragraph: Richard Ritter

paragraph: Richard Ritter (born 1940) is an American studio glass artist who lives in North Carolina.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ritter was born in Detroit, but grew up in the then rural Michigan town of Novi. He was inspired to pursue a career in art by his high school art teacher and in 1959 on to study at the Society of Arts and Crafts (later renamed the Center for Creative Studies) in Detroit, Michigan. In 1962, Ritter left school to take a job with an advertising firm, returning in 1968 to the Society of Arts and Crafts to continue his studies and teach advertising there. His first experience with hot glass came in that year, when another instructor, Gilbert Johnson (b. 1930) built a glass workshop at the school. Ritter graduated from the Society of Arts and Crafts in 1969 and went to the Bloomfield Art Association in Birmingham, Michigan, to teach glassblowing. In 1971 he enrolled in a summer session class at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, where his instructor was glass artist Mark Peiser. Ritter soon afterward took a class with Richard Marquis. He then returned to the Penland school the following summer to teach, and in 1973 was named artist-in-residence at Penland School of Crafts, a position that he held until 1978. He continued to return to the school to teach and give workshops in subsequent years.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Ritter moved to Cass, Michigan in 1978. As a professional glass artist he was at this time making murrini vessels and paperweights. A commission from Joan Mondale, wife to then-Vice President Walter Mondale for dessert plates led Ritter to experiment with open platter forms containing murrini and lattacino.

paragraph: In 1980, Ritter purchased a small farm near Bakersville, North Carolina where he built a studio. In the mid-1980s he began working on his “Triolet” series of large glass sculptures. In 1993 and 1994 he created the 26 art works of his “Grail” series; blown discs to which a faceted solid base was attached. These pieces often displayed etched and copper electroformed surface decoration. He produced 136 glass sculptures in his “Floral Core” series between the years 2002 and 2009; the artist’s "Mandala and Florescence" series was produced in the years 1997 through 2001.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: Ritter has been honored with four retrospective exhibitions. In 2009, the fortieth anniversary of his career in glass art was celebrated by an exhibition of 75 works at Toe River Arts Council in Spruce Pine, North Carolina; the exhibition travelled to Western Carolina University in 2010. Lenders to the exhibition included Ritter's colleagues in North Carolina glass Harvey Littleton and Kate Vogel and John Littleton. Exhibitions of Ritter's work at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee and at the University of Michigan, Dearborn celebrated the artist's thirtieth year in glass in 1990.

paragraph: In 1993 the artist was one of 70 artists whose work was selected for “The White House Collection of Craft,” a traveling exhibition organized by the Smithsonian Institution. Other notable group exhibitions in which the artist’s work has been seen include shows at Western Carolina University in 1980, 1982, 1984, 1986; at Habatat Galleries in Michigan in 1981, 1983 1984 and in Habatat Galleries in Florida in 1992. In 1982 Ritter’s work was part of “Detroit Collects” at Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan; “Contemporary Blown Glass by Southeastern Artists at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, Florida and “World Glass Now ‘82” at the Hokkaidō Museum of Modern Art in Sapporo, Japan. His earliest international group exhibition was “American Glass Now” (1979) in Tokyo, Japan.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: Ritter was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan in 2000. He received a North Carolina Artist Fellowship Grant 2000-2001. In 1984 he received a National Endowment for the Arts Scholarship.

paragraph: Section::::Collections.

paragraph: Ritter’s work is in the permanent collections of the Asheville Art Museum (Asheville, North Carolina), High Museum of Art (Atlanta, Georgia), Mint Museum of Art (Charlotte, North Carolina), Hunter Museum of Art (Chattanooga, Tennessee), Corning Museum of Glass (Corning, New York), Detroit Institute of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, DC) and St. Louis Art Museum.

paragraph: Eric of Lorraine

paragraph: Eric of Lorraine (14 March 1576 – 27 April 1623), count of Vaudémont, was a Bishop of Verdun and half brother of Louise of Lorraine, Queen consort of France.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Eric of Lorraine was born in Nancy on 14 March 1576 as a son of Nicolas, Duke of Mercœur and his third wife Catherine of Lorraine (1550–1606), daughter of Claude, Duke of Aumale. Some sources attribute a turbulent youth to him, which did not prevent him from being destined for a career in the Church; he was provided with the Abbey of St. Hydulphe at Moyenmoutier on 31 March 1588. He was also the commendatory abbot of the Monastery of St Vanne near Verdun. He was appointed bishop of Verdun in 1593 when he was only seventeen years of age.

paragraph: By the end of the 16th century, with the religious world across western Europe undergoing the confrontation between the Protestant winds from Germany and the Counter-Reformation forces confronting them, there was a feeling that monasticism in Moyenmoutier had fallen into a sorry state. Eric undertook to restore a more orderly existence to the monks under his authority. He entrusted this task to Dom Didier de La Cour. In 1604 the resulting new constitution of the Congregation of St. Vanne and St. Hydulphe received Pope Clement VII's approval. The reforms became an important element in Catholic reform, being copied by other Catholic religious houses and congregations, most famously, in 1621, the Congregation of St. Maur.

paragraph: In the following year he considered becoming a Jesuit. He went to Rome, but the Pope dissuaded him from this idea. He returned to Verdun in 1597 and, encouraged by Cardinal Bellarmine, showed himself a model bishop: he organized synods and played an important part in the reform of the Benedictine orders in Lorraine.

paragraph: However, in 1605 he was involved in a scandal. He fell in love with and married a woman called Marie Dupuy (died 1640). Eric was suspended on 19 December 1605 and subsequently brought before the tribunal of the Inquisition. As punishment he was relegated to the Jesuits of Pont-à-Mousson. In his defense, he alleged that he was bewitched. As a result Eric was exorcised before being re-established in his diocese in 1608.

paragraph: In 1610, he renounced his office as bishop of Verdun in favor of his nephew Charles, and retreated to the Capuchins. He died in Nancy in 1623. Initially he was buried in the church of the convent of the Capuchins of Varangéville. In 1792 his remains were repatriated to the Church of Saint-François-des-Cordeliers.

paragraph: Giovanni II Bentivoglio

paragraph: Giovanni II Bentivoglio (12 February 144315 February 1508) was an Italian nobleman who ruled as tyrant of Bologna from 1463 until 1506. He had no formal position, but held power as the city's "first citizen." The Bentivoglio family ruled over Bologna from 1443, and repeatedly attempted to consolidate their hold of the Signoria of the city.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Born in Bologna, Giovanni II was the son of Annibale I Bentivoglio, then chief magistrate of the commune, and Donnina Visconti. He was a child when his father was murdered by his rival Battista Canneschi in June 1445.

paragraph: Annibale I was succeeded in Bologna by Sante I, of uncertain paternity and origin, but alleged to be a son of Ercole Bentivoglio, a cousin of Annibale I. Originally an apprentice of the wool guild of Florence, Sante ruled as "signore" of Bologna from 1443. When Sante died in 1463, Giovanni II Bentivoglio successfully made himself lord of the commune, although it was nominally a fief of the church under a papal legate. On 2 May 1464 he married Sante's widow Ginevra Sforza. In 1464 he obtained by Pope Paul II the privilege to be considered perpetual head of the city's Senate.

paragraph: Machiavelli writes that Annibale, "having been murdered by the Canneschi, who had conspired against him, not one of his family survived but Messer Giovanni, who was in childhood: immediately after his assassination the people rose and murdered all the Canneschi. This sprung from the popular goodwill which the house of Bentivoglio enjoyed in those days in Bologna; which was so great that, although none remained there after the death of Annibale who were able to rule the state, the Bolognese, having information that there was one of the Bentivoglio family in Florence, who up to that time had been considered the son of a blacksmith [Sante], sent to Florence for him and gave him the government of their city, and it was ruled by him until Messer Giovanni came in due course to the government." ("The Prince", Chapter XIX)

paragraph: Section::::Ruler of Bologna.

paragraph: In order to secure the support of the other powerful families of Italy, Giovanni fought personally as condottiero. In 1467 he was at the service of Florence, Milan and Naples against Bartolomeo Colleoni, and in 1471 again for Milan, but his first military deeds occurred only in 1477 when he besieged Faenza for the Sforza. In 1482, during the War of Ferrara, he helped Ercole d'Este against Pope Sixtus IV and Venice. He later fought in small struggles for the Kingdom of Naples, but his personal interventions were always limited by the Bolognese institutions.

paragraph: In 1488, his daughter Francesca poisoned her own husband, Galeotto Manfredi, ruler of Faenza. The latter's citizens considered the feat as an occult move to conquer the city, and rebelled. When Giovanni reached the city to suppress the revolt, he was captured. He was freed only through the intercession of Lorenzo de' Medici. In the same year he was made Capitano Generale (Chief of Staff) of the Milanese army, but this was an almost honorific position as Giovanni left the command duties to his sons. In 1488 Giovanni had also to crush a plot against him, led by the Malvezzi family, whose members were almost all hanged or exiled. In 1501, the same fate struck the Marescottis.

paragraph: Bentivoglio had managed to resist the expansionist designs of Cesare Borgia, but on 7 October 1506 Pope Julius II issued a bull deposing and excommunicating Bentivoglio and placing the city under interdict. When the papal troops, along with a contingent sent by Louis XII of France, marched against Bologna, Bentivoglio and his family fled. Julius II entered the city triumphantly on 10 November.

paragraph: Giovanni moved first to Busseto, host of the Pallavicino family. An attempt led by his sons Annibale II and Ermes to reconquer Bologna in 1507 failed. The Bolognese subsequently rioted against his possessions in the city, destroying the palace.

paragraph: Excommunicated, Giovanni ended his days as prisoner of Louis XII in Milan. He died in 1508 in the Castello Sforzesco of that city.

paragraph: Giovanni Bentivoglio is said to have consulted in 1504 the famous astrologer Luca Gaurico about his and his sons' destiny. Displeased with Gaurico's negative prophecy, Bentivoglio subjected him to the torture of "mancuerda", and exiled him from Bologna.

paragraph: Section::::Overview.

paragraph: Giovanni II Bentivoglio ruled with a stern sway for nearly half a century, maintaining a splendid court and beautifying Bologna, in particular developing its waterways. The misery of the city's poor, however, stood in stark contrast to the splendor of the city and its festivities.

paragraph: Among the projects he commissioned were the frescoes depicting the life of Saint Cecilia in the Oratorio di Santa Cecilia through the archway of San Giacomo. These frescoes were painted by artists living in the city at the time: Francesco Francia, Lorenzo Costa the Elder and Amico Aspertini.  Lorenzo Costa's Bentivoglio Altarpiece, housed in the Bentivoglio Chapel in the church of San Giacomo Maggiore, was commissioned by Giovanni Bentivoglio as a votive offering of thanks for the family's escape from an attempted massacre by the Malvezzi family.  Bentivoglio also ordered the Palazzo Bentivoglio (City Hall) to be built by the architect G. Nadi, starting in 1498. The Bolognese architect Aristotile Fioravanti, who later settled in Russia, created the plans for the reconstruction of the Palazzo del Podestà, but the reconstruction was not carried out by Bentivoglio until 1484–94.

paragraph: Section::::Family and descendants.

paragraph: On 2 May 1464 Giovanni married Ginevra Sforza (1440–1507), the illegitimate daughter of Alessandro Sforza, Lord of Pesaro and the widow of his cousin and predecessor, Sante Bentivoglio. There was probably a relationship between them before their marriage. She was, among other things, his counselor. Ginevra gave her husband sixteen children, of whom five died in infancy. The others were:

paragraph: Giovanni also had another daughter (whether illegitimate or not, it is unknown), Camilla Bentivoglio, whose mother is said to be a 'Lucrezia D'Este'. Whether this 'Lucrezia' was the same as his daughter-in-law, daughter of Ercole I d'Este, is a matter of speculation. Camilla went on to marry Pirro Gonzaga, a scion of the House of Gonzaga (a male line grandson of Ludovico III Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua). It is unknown how many children she had, but 3 of them are known:

paragraph: Suintila

paragraph: Suintila, or "Suinthila", "Swinthila", "Svinthila"; (ca. 588 – 633/635) was Visigothic King of Hispania, Septimania and Galicia from 621 to 631. He was a son of Reccared I and his wife Bado, and a brother of the general Geila. Under Suintila there was an unprecedented peace and unity across the Kingdom of the Visigoths. As a direct result, by 624 the king was able to muster the forces necessary to retake those lands that had been under the control of the Eastern Roman Empire.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Under the orders of King Sisebut, Suintila fought against the Byzantines, who had invaded the Iberian Peninsula in 620. The following year he was elected king, after the death of Reccared II and Sisebut. Once on the throne, Suintila secured a peace unknown in Hispania, as no foreign troops were on its soil for decades. He even managed to eject the Byzantines from their various strongholds in the Levante and according to Isidore of Seville, was the first to rule all of Spain. What Sisebut had begun by retaking Cartagena, Malaga, Sagunto, and Assidonia from the Byzantines, Suintila finished in 624 when he seized what his predecessor could not at Algarve. Byzantine power was severely weakened by Suintila's successes in the former enclave of the Eastern Empire, which was accompanied by a reduction in its standing army. Like Liuvigild before him, Suintila also attempted to bring the Basques under his command, which led to the creation of a new town named Ologicus—believed to be the site of the later Olite in Navarre—but this has yet to be confirmed by archaeologists. Isidore of Seville characterized Suintila as a man of "faith, prudence, industry, strenuousness in examination in the passing of judicial sentences, outstanding care in the exercise of rulership, munificence towards all, generosity to the poor, a disposition towards quick forgiveness; so that not only is he worthy to be called the ruler of the people but also the father of the poor."

paragraph: Many did not share this view according to the "Chronicle of Fredegar", which reports Suintila had become a hated figure; the text goes on to relate that from among the nobility through which Suintila had risen, emerged one named Sisenand, who in 631, led a rebellion in the Ebro valley after securing a promise of military aide from the Frankish king Dagobert I. The Frankish king dispatched his forces under generals Abundancio and Venerando, who once arriving at Saragossa, declared Sisenand king of the Goths. At the Fourth Council of Toledo in 633, Sisenand's seizure of power was legitimized by the Council, while Suintila was accordingly accused of various iniquities, forced to renounce his power, excommunicated, stripped of his possessions, and exiled along with his family.

paragraph: In 1858, a farmer's plough uncovered what was to become the Treasure of Guarrazar and Torredonjimero, which consisted of eleven votive crowns, three of them had names on them; these included Suintila, Reccaswinth, and Sónnica.

paragraph: Theudigisel

paragraph: Theudigisel (or Theudegisel) (in Latin "Theudigisclus" and in Spanish, Galician and Portuguese "Teudiselo", "Teudigiselo", or "Teudisclo"), ( 500 – December 549) was king of the Visigoths in Hispania and Septimania (548–549). Some Visigothic king lists skip Theudigisel, as well as Agila I, going directly from Theudis to Athanagild.

paragraph: Theudigisel was a leading general of Theudis, and, when the latter was murdered, managed to make himself king. He had repelled the Franks from Spain after their invasion of 541, cutting them off in the pass of Valcarlos, but accepted a bribe to allow them to return to home.

paragraph: According to Isidore of Seville, Theudigisel was assassinated because he "defiled the marriages of very many powerful men by public prostitution", and was assassinated by a group of conspirators during a banquet in Seville. Although he agrees that Theudigisel died during a banquet, Gregory of Tours records a different tale of his end: in the middle of the feast, the lights were blown out and an unidentified person killed Theudigisel in the dark. "The Goths had adopted the reprehensible habit of killing out of hand any king who displeased them and replacing him on the throne by someone they preferred," Gregory concludes.

paragraph: Pang Chai-sip

paragraph: Pang Chai-sip (; 1914–2005) was a renowned Hong Kong artist of the Lingnan school () of Chinese painting. Born in Guangdong, Pang started his life in art as a student at the Art Institute of Guangzhou (廣州市立美術學院), by which he learnt his painting skills and philosophy with virtuosos in the field like Li Yanshan, Li Jinfa (), Chao Shao-an, Huang Junbi () and Li Xiongcai ().

paragraph: During World War II, Pang fled from warfare and settled in Hong Kong. In 1958, Lingnan-style painters including Li Yanshan, Chao Shao-an, and Pang founded the Hong Kong Chinese Art Club (香港中國美術會) with the view to promote Chinese arts in Hong Kong.

paragraph: Pang worked as illustrator for Great Wall Movie Enterprise Limited (長城電影製片公司), where he contributed his illustrations to a few dozen Hong Kong movies, including "The Awful Truth" (1950) and "A Bachelor is Born" (1952).

paragraph: In his late years, Pang founded the Chai-Sip Art Studio (濟涉畫院), where he offered painting classes to the public and trained talented young painters. At the same time, took charge of Chinese painting programs for Fung Kai Secondary School () in Sheung Shui. He had hundreds of students, and talented Chinese painters have developed their skills under his tutelage.

paragraph: Pang painted for over half a century beginning with his apprenticeship in the Art Institute of Guangzhou, and his paintings have reached the public through numerous exhibitions, stretching his wings to Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Pang started his career as an artist in the Art Institute of Guangzhou. Li Jinfa, the principal of the institute, aimed to develop the institute and influence the art scene in China at that time. With the help of the legendary Lingnan style master Gao Jianfu, Chao Shao-an accepted the invitation to join the institute and be the head of the Faculty of Chinese Painting . Following Chao were iconic Lingnan style painters like Su Wonong (蘇臥農), Ye Yongqing (業永青), and Li Xiongcai, who turned to be instructors of the faculty. With these instructors, the Art Institute of Guangzhou turned to be the cradle of talented Lingnan style Chinese painters.

paragraph: Among talented students, Pang has been a name that was mentioned around instructors for his skills and talent. He spent his apprenticeship flourishing his painting skills with the virtuosos, and often he visited Master Gao Jianfu to learn about the precious tips of drawing iconic creatures in Chinese paintings, i.e. birds, fish, insects and flowers. Chao, who favoured and later became good friends with Pang, had often offered his calligraphy as a present for Pang’s exhibitions.

paragraph: During the WWII, the Art Institute of Guangzhou was forced to vacate and cease operations due to warfare. Instructors and students like Li Yanshan, Chao Shao-an, Pang and many others fled and settled in Hong Kong. To carry on the spirit of the Art Institute, Li, Chao, and Pang founded the Hong Kong Chinese Art Club (香港中國美術會), and Pang became a member of the club's executive committee.

paragraph: While life of an artist was not ascertained in Hong Kong, Pang has struggled for survival with his family during his early days in Hong Kong. He has hidden his ambition in art and painting, joined Great Wall Movie Enterprise Limited (長城電影製片公司) and became an illustrator for Hong Kong movies. His illustrations were appeared in dozens of Hong Kong movies, including "The Awful Truth" (說謊世界, 1950), A Bachelor is Born (方帽子, 1952), and others.

paragraph: A few years later, Pang left the movie industry and started his career as a teacher. While being a teacher in Kowloon Tong School (九龍塘學校) and Fanling Public School, Pang picked his ambition and dream up again and spent most of his spare time in painting, travelling to natural scenery and launching Chinese painting classes to teach the talented. In late years, Pang started the Chai-Sip Art Studio (濟涉畫院), which was his platform to flourish his paintings, to teach gifted youngsters painting techniques and the public about the appreciation of Chinese paintings.

paragraph: Pang's low-profile and simple character maybe a hinder to his fame in the Chinese painting scene; yet there is no doubt about his passion to Chinese painting. For more than 50 years, he has never stopped painting, ending with a rich collection of paintings, more than a few hundreds, now treasured with good care by his family. The style of his painting evolved with time, never followed tides of trends; they could be seen as pure expressions of his creativity in painting perspectives and formations, his passion to the nature and his love to the simple countryside lifestyle.

paragraph: Pang's paintings have travelled to different continentals throughout the years, in which hundreds and thousands of visitors and collectors have seen his work of art in his exhibitions in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and the United Kingdom.

paragraph: In November 2014, Pang’s family and the Hong Kong Chinese Art Club jointly organized an exhibition in memory of Mr. Pang Chai Sip, which involved paintings of Pang back in 1937, and scrolls of precious early works of Pang. Hundreds of visitors came and joined the phenomenal 3-days event to express their love and appreciation of the devoted artist.

paragraph: Section::::Appreciations from the art scene.

paragraph: Chao wrote a poem commemorating Pang’s painting – "With his paint we see the marvels of the nature, with his strokes we feel the emotions behind the bushes; with his brushes we are startled with the beauty of the mysterious haze, with Pang the world is just his painting." (「萬水千山造化工，幾株疏柳入空濛，烟雲出沒多變幻，都在彭君筆墨中。」) This showed Chao's appreciation for Pang's perspectives and skills and the atmosphere created through his painting.
