paragraph: Richie Stephens (musician)

paragraph: Richard Stephenson (born 5 December 1966), better known as Richie Stephens is a Jamaican R&B, dancehall and reggae singer and producer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica, Stephens worked in the early 1990s as part of the twice Grammy Award winning act Soul II Soul. He recorded at Motown, and recorded for the VP label before establishing his own label, Pot of Gold Records. Later that decade he released dancehall singles such as "Winner", "Bus the Place" and "Slop Dem". His tracks "Legacy" (Mad Cobra featuring Richie Stevens, 1993) and "Come Give Me Your Love" (Richie Stephens featuring General Degree, 1997) peaked at numbers 64 and 61 respectively in the UK Singles Chart.

paragraph: In 1998, Stephens' album "Winner" was released by Greensleeves, produced by himself, Frenchie, Danny Brownie and Donovan Germain. Since then, Stephens has focused his music on Christian related themes.

paragraph: In 2006 Stephens received the Jamaican Governor-General's Achievement Award for contributing to civic, social and recreational projects in and around the parish of Westmoreland.

paragraph: In January 2011 Richie's adopted son Demar Graham, who went by the stage name Copper Cat, was shot and killed outside his home in Kingston.

paragraph: He released a new album "God is on My Side" on 22 May 2012, under Pot of Gold/VPAL. He also released a collaboration album with German reggae singer Gentleman on 27 November 2012. In 2014, following the growth of EDM in Jamaica, Stephens sought to capitalize on this by launching a new riddim called 'Skatech' which was an amalgamation of Jamaican ska and EDM. Stephens believed that due to ska not being at the forefront of Jamaican music for many years, combining it with something fresh could bring it back into the spotlight.

paragraph: On 16 March 2013 he sang the Jamaican national anthem at the WCQ between Jamaica and Panama at the National Stadium, Kingston.

paragraph: In 2015 he began working with Italian ska ensemble the Ska Nation Band, while continuing to work as a solo artist. In November 2015 he was reportedly working on a new solo album set for release in early 2016.

paragraph: Margaret of Prades (1388/95 – 23 July 1429) was the queen consort of Aragon by marriage to King Martin of Aragon.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: She was the daughter of Peter of Aragon, Baron of Entenza (1352–1395), and his wife, Joan of Cabrera.

paragraph: On 17 September 1409, Margaret married Martin of Aragon, a second cousin of her father. The bride was about fourteen years old and the groom fifty-three. Martin had survived all his legitimate children from his first marriage with Maria de Luna and was in need of a legitimate heir of his own. On 31 March 1410, Martin I died after six months of marriage. They had no children. His death led to a two-year interregnum, which was ended by the Pact of Caspe, in which Ferdinand I of Aragon, younger son of his sister Eleanor, was chosen as the next king.

paragraph: Kevin Magee (motorcyclist)

paragraph: Kevin Magee (born 16 July 1962 in Horsham, Victoria) is an Australian former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer who raced in 36 grands prix during his career, winning the 1988 Spanish Grand Prix. He is currently a television commentator for Fox Sports Australia.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early career.

paragraph: His career began with production and Superbike racing, at home in Australia and also in Japan. He gained early notice racing the Bob Brown Ducati in Australian Superbike races and then joined Mike Dowson at the Warren Willing-managed Yamaha Dealer Team to race the then premier Production race series as well as the growing Superbike series. In 1986 he gained international attention when he and Dowson scored a second place in the Suzuka 8 Hours Formula One race on a lower-spec Superbike. His Grand Prix debut was delayed after he broke his leg crashing at the Arai 500 race at Bathurst when, leading by a clear margin, he was confused by his pitboards and thought another rider was closing in on him. At the end of year big-money Swann-Series he was given the opportunity to ride a Yamaha factory Grand Prix bike and distinguished himself by winning two of the six races.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Grand Prix.

paragraph: In 1987, he got his break in the 500cc world championship with three wildcard appearance on the Kenny Roberts Yamaha team. Crashing in the opening Japanese Grand Prix, he earned a point in the rain-affected Dutch TT before scoring an impressive third place in his third ever Grand Prix at the Portuguese Grand Prix round. Having teamed up with Martin Wimmer to win the 1987 Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race, and having also won the 1987 round of the now-defunct Formula 1 motorcycle championship at Sugo, he became the only rider to stand on the podium of three different World Championships in a calendar year.

paragraph: In 1988, he was awarded Randy Mamola's place in the Kenny Roberts team, competing as teammate to Wayne Rainey for the next two seasons. He also returned to the Suzuka 8 Hours race, teaming with Wayne Rainey to claim another win.

paragraph: Magee won his first Grand Prix at the 1988 Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix at Jarama and the future looked bright for the young rider. However, at the 1989 United States motorcycle Grand Prix, he was involved in a terrible crash with Bubba Shobert on the cool off lap after the race, wherein Shobert drove into the back of Magee's motorcycle. Magee stopped his motorcycle in the middle of the track and performed a rear-wheel "burnout", presumably due to frustration that dwindling fuel had cost him 3rd place in the race. The wreck occurred while Shobert was congratulating racer Eddie Lawson and it ended Shobert’s career. Ironically, Magee would crash at the same spot during the 1990 race, suffering head injuries that put him out for the season. In 1991 he appeared a couple of times for Suzuki and once for Team Roberts, along with another wildcard Grand Prix appearance in 1993.

paragraph: Magee also entered a few Superbike World Championship races, winning twice at his home race at Phillip Island in 1991 and 1992. He also raced in the AMA Superbike series in 1994, for the American Honda team before announcing his retirement. Magee was never able to capture the early brilliance of his career after his accident with Shobert.

paragraph: Section::::Post Racing.

paragraph: Magee is still a familiar face with Australian motorcycle-racing fans in his position as co-commentator on Australian Grand Prix and Superbike telecasts on Australia's largest Pay-TV provider Foxtel teaming with Warren Smith on Fox Sports. He is also an occasional tester and writer for Two Wheels magazine.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: On 27 April 2002 Kevin's 19-year-old nephew Liam Magee, the son of his older brother Peter, was racing in the Australian Superbike Championship when he was killed in practice for the round at the Mallala Motorsport Park in South Australia. The younger Magee crashed at turn 4 (the kink, on the back straight) his bike slid off the track into the concrete retaining wall located only a short distance from the track and he died at the scene, the bike reportedly travelling at over 100 km/h at the time of impact. The concrete wall Liam Magee hit had replaced an old tyre wall in 1998 in an effort to provide more grandstand seating for the circuit.

paragraph: Renaud de Vichiers (? – 20 January 1256) was the 19th Grand Master of the Knights Templar from 1250 to 1256.

paragraph: He joined the Knights Templar and was appointed Preceptor of Saint-Jean-d'Acre in 1240 and Master of France from 1242 to 1249.

paragraph: He was a supporter and comrade-in-arms of Louis IX of France, who helped him be elected Grand Master in place of Guillaume de Sonnac, killed in Egypt at the Battle of Al Mansurah, February 11, 1250. He shortly quarrelled with Louis, though, over a diplomatic mission of Hugues de Jouy, the Templar Marshal, to Damascus. In 1252 Hugues was banished from the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

paragraph: In 1252 Renaud de Vichiers retired to a monastery where he stayed until his death on 20 January 1256.

paragraph: Thomas Bérard

paragraph: Thomas Bérard (also Béraud or Bérault), (? – 25 March 1273) was the 20th Grand Master of the Knights Templar, from 1256 to 1273.

paragraph: He wrote several letters to the King Henry III of England describing miserable situation in the Holy Land. He initiated cooperation with other two military orders since there had been much rivalry among them before. This was agreed upon by their Grand Masters: Hugo de Revel of Hospitaliers and Anno von Sangershausen of Teutonic Knights.

paragraph: In 1266 the large Templar fortress of Safed was besieged by Egyptian Mameluks under Baibars, the new Sultan of Cairo, after a failed attempt to conquer Pilgrim's Castle. It appears that the fortress garrison was betrayed by a hired Syrian soldier. All Templars (and Hospitallers) were beheaded after they refused to convert to Islam. Other fortresses fell next, among them Beaufort, only recently acquired by the Templars. Also, the city of Antioch fell to Baibars and was never again held by Christian forces. The fall of Antioch left Templar fortresses in the Amanus Mountains easily accessible to attackers. Gaston, an immensely strong fortification on the road to Syria, was defended only by a small Templar garrison. Nevertheless, they decided to hold the fortress, but were betrayed by one of the brothers. Meanwhile, the Grand Master Thomas Bérard sent a messenger carrying an order to retreat to La Roche Guillaume. In February 1271, he ordered the surrender of Chastel Blanc with permission to retreat to Tortosa. In June, Montfort, the last inland fortification of Christians in the Holy Land, was yielded.

paragraph: Bérard sent messages to the pope asking for help, and the pope responded by calling for an Eighth Crusade, which never arrived. After the loss of Crac des Chevaliers by the Hospitallers in 1271 a ten-year truce was agreed between the Christians and the Muslims.

paragraph: According to "The Chronicle of the Templar of Tyre", Bérard died on 25 March 1273.

paragraph: Guillaume de Beaujeu

paragraph: Guillaume de Beaujeu, aka William of Beaujeu (? – 1291) was the 21st Grand Master of the Knights Templar, from 1273 until his death during the siege of Acre in 1291. He was the last Grand Master to preside in Palestine.

paragraph: During his tenure the new Mamluk Sultan, Qalawun, easily conquered in 1289 the County of Tripoli, which had ignored Beaujeu's warnings. In 1290 Qalawun marched on Acre, the capital of the remnant of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but died in November before launching the attack. His son Al-Ashraf Khalil, however, decided to continue the campaign. Beaujeu led the defence of the city.

paragraph: At one point during the siege, he dropped his sword and walked away from the walls. His knights remonstrated. Beaujeu replied: "Je ne m'enfuis pas; je suis mort. Voici le coup." ("I'm not running away; I am dead. Here is the blow.") He raised his arm to show the mortal wound he had received - arrow had penetrated his mail under his armpit so that only the fletches were visible. Beaujeu died of his wound and the city fell to the Mamluks, signalling the end of Crusader occupation of the Holy Land.

paragraph: J. R. Sweezy

paragraph: Justin Ross "J. R." Sweezy (born April 8, 1989) is an American football guard for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round, 225th overall, of the 2012 NFL Draft. He played college football at NC State.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Sweezy was born in North Carolina, to Bryan and Susan Sweezy. He is the older brother of sister Madison Sweezy. Sweezy grew up a North Carolina State Wolfpack fan as his grandfather had previously played fullback for NC State. As a linebacker at Mooresville High School his junior year he recorded 115 tackles, eight tackles-for-loss, and three sacks. He played linebacker and recorded 195 tackles, 14 tackles-for-loss, six sacks, and four forced fumbles in 12 games his senior year. He also wrestled winning the Class 3A Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in North Carolina.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Sweezy played 35 games with 20 starts playing linebacker, defensive end, and defensive tackle at NC State, starting every game his junior and senior seasons.

He was voted team captain his senior season and was selected honorable mention All-ACC his junior year.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Seattle Seahawks.

paragraph: Coming out of NC State, Sweezy wasn't a highly sought after draft prospect at defensive tackle. Seattle Seahawks' offensive line coach Tom Cable set up a private workout with Sweezy and evaluated his footwork and physical strength. Cable, who had successfully converted defensive lineman to offensive lineman throughout his career, thought Sweezy had the tools and ability to successfully transition to an NFL offensive lineman. After agreeing to switch to the offensive line the Seahawks drafted him in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft, reuniting him with former NC State teammate, Russell Wilson.

paragraph: In his rookie season, Sweezy got the first start of his career in the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals replacing veteran guard John Moffitt. He again started for the injured Moffitt in the last two games of the regular season against the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams. During the 2012 campaign he had three starts and played in 13 games. For the 2013 season Sweezy started 13 regular season games and in the post season for a Seahawks team that went on to win the Super Bowl that year. In 2014 Sweezy had his first season where he started every regular season game at right guard. The Seahawks would go on to return to the Super Bowl losing to the New England Patriots.

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

paragraph: On March 9, 2016, Sweezy and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a five-year deal worth $32.5 million. He underwent back surgery after signing with the Buccaneers and was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list which made him unavailable for the first five games of the season. He was placed on injured reserve for the 2016 season on November 12 without appearing in a game for the Buccaneers.

paragraph: Sweezy started the first 14 games of the 2017 season at right guard, playing all every offensive snap before suffering an injury in Week 15. He was placed on injured reserve on December 20, 2017.

paragraph: On June 29, 2018, Sweezy was released by the Buccaneers, just two seasons into his five-year deal.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Seattle Seahawks (second stint).

paragraph: On August 1, 2018, Sweezy was re-signed by the Seattle Seahawks. He was a starter in all 15 games he played.

paragraph: Robert Carthew Reynolds

paragraph: Rear-Admiral Robert Carthew Reynolds ("bap." 30 July 1745 – 24 December 1811) was a long serving and widely respected officer of the British Royal Navy who served in four separate major wars in a 52-year career. During this time he saw only one major battle, although was engaged in one of the most noted frigate actions of the French Revolutionary Wars, the destruction of the "Droits de l'Homme", in which his own frigate was driven ashore and wrecked. Reynolds died in 1811 during a great storm in late December, which scattered his convoy and wrecked three ships of the line including his own flagship HMS "St George". Over 2,000 British sailors, including Reynolds, were drowned.

paragraph: Section::::Early career and family.

paragraph: Reynolds was born in the village of Lamorran in Cornwall in 1745. His exact date of birth is unknown, but he was baptised on 30 July to parents John and Elizabeth Reynolds. Robert Reynolds joined the Royal Navy at 14, under Captain George Edgcumbe in HMS "Hero" during the Seven Years' War. A few months after joining the ship, "Hero" was engaged in the Battle of Quiberon Bay at which a French fleet was destroyed. Although there is no direct proof of his presence at the action, it is likely that Reynolds was on board and witnessed the engagement first hand. Reynolds remained with the ship for several years and during the 1760s served on HMS "Brilliant", HMS "Pearl" and HMS "Venus", becoming a midshipman and passing the lieutenant's exam in 1770.

paragraph: Due to the restrictions in the size of the peacetime navy, Reynolds was not actually promoted to lieutenant until 1777, following the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. Reynolds saw action in the war, remaining aboard HMS "Royal George", HMS "Barfleur" and HMS "Britannia" in the Channel Fleet until 1783 when he sailed for the West Indies as commander of the storeship HMS "Dolphin". In 1786 he took over the sloop HMS "Echo" on the Newfoundland Station and in 1788 returned to Europe, being promoted and made temporary captain of HMS "Barfleur" at the Spanish emergency in 1790.

paragraph: He married, at Cardinham, Cornwall 7 December 1779, Jane, daughter of John Vivian. They had at least three children.

paragraph: Section::::Wars with France.

paragraph: In 1795, Reynolds was called out of half-pay in Penair near Truro and given command of the frigate HMS "Druid". A year later he moved to HMS "Amazon", in which he served under Sir Edward Pellew in HMS "Indefatigable". In Pellew's squadron, Reynolds participated in the capture of the French frigate "Unité". He was still under Pellew in the Action of 13 January 1797 when "Amazon", in company with HMS "Indefatigable", engaged and drove ashore the much larger French ship of the line "Droits de l'Homme". In the heavy storm in which the battle was fought, "Amazon" became unmanageable and was also wrecked, although the frigate was beached and all but six of her men survived, unlike her larger opponent which was run on a sandbar and destroyed with hundreds of lives lost.

paragraph: Reynolds and his crew were made prisoners on reaching the shore, but less than a year later he was exchanged and returned to Britain, being honourably acquitted at a court-martial into the loss of his ship. Reynolds was given command of the large prize frigate HMS "Pomone" and in her operated in the Bay of Biscay during which time he captured several enemy privateers, including the "Cheri" in 1798. In 1800, he was given command of the ship of the line HMS "Cumberland". In 1801, Reynolds transferred to HMS "Orion", but was placed in reserve during the Peace of Amiens, being given command of the Cornish sea fencibles until 1804. In the same year his eldest son, also named Robert, was killed in action with the French off Martinique. His younger son Barrington Reynolds also served in the Royal Navy and later became a highly respected admiral in his own right.

paragraph: Section::::Wars with France.:Christmas storm of 1811.

paragraph: In 1804 Reynolds returned to the sea in HMS "Dreadnought", moving soon afterwards into HMS "Princess Royal" in which he remained until 1807. In 1808 Reynolds was made a rear-admiral, and in 1810 was ordered to the Baltic Sea as second-in-command to James Saumarez. Reynolds raised his flag in HMS "St George". He remained in the Baltic until 1811, when on 1 November he took command of a large convoy from Hanö to England. The weather was extremely bad, and the convoy failed to pass through the Skagerrak three times before finally managing in mid-November. As they sheltered close to Jutland, storms drove dozens of the convoy ashore, and one loose merchant ship collided with "St George", tearing away anchors and beaching the flagship, which was badly damaged.

paragraph: "St George" was refloated and underwent a month of repairs, escorted by ships of the line HMS "Defence" and HMS "Cressy". On 17 December the battered flagship returned to sea, Reynolds hoping to reach Britain before the weather worsened further. Seven days later however, on Christmas Eve, the remains of the convoy was struck by the biggest storm in the North Sea in many years. "St George", "Defence" and numerous other ships were flung onto the reefs on Jutland's western coast, where they were broken up by the heavy seas. Of "St George's" 850 crew only 12 survived, Reynolds not among them. All but six of "Defence's" crew were drowned and only "Cressy" escaped the disaster. Hours later another large British convoy was driven onto the Haak Sands off the Texel, bringing the death toll in the Royal Navy alone to over 2,000. Reynolds's last moments were recorded by survivor John Anderson, who recounted that the admiral had remained below decks after the ship had struck and was only brought on deck, having been seriously injured, when the sea flooded his cabin. Just a few hours later he was dead, succumbing to exposure with over 500 of his crew. An attempt was made some days later to recover his remains, but they were not found, the deck having been washed away by the high seas. His remains are probably interred with the other bodies which washed ashore over the next weeks in an area now known as "Dead Men's Dunes".

paragraph: Section::::Home.

paragraph: Penair House in the parish of St Clement, Cornwall was built by Rear-Admiral Robert Carthew Reynolds (d. 1811) and was the residence of his son Barrington Reynolds. This house replaced an older one at least going back as far as the 17th century.

paragraph: A fine monument in St Clement parish church commemorates the Rear-Admiral: it is from the studio of Micali, Leghorn, and shows a young soldier and two women, the soldier points to a monument with a naval battle, above is the portrait medallion. Arthur Mee suggests that the figures represent his children but if he had two sons this is unlikely. His eldest son predeceased him on active service during the Napoleonic Wars; his second son Barrington suffered in his youth from severe bouts of ill-health.

paragraph: Heraclio Bernal

paragraph: Heraclio Bernal (1855-1888) was a bandit from the Sinaloa region of Mexico. He is widely known as the "Thunderbolt of Sinaloa."

paragraph: Section::::Bandit years.

paragraph: Bernal led a group of pistoleros, who operated along the mining zones of the Sierra Madre Occidental, dominating parts of Sinaloa and Durango. The band was believed to have reached up to 100 men strong, often participating in illegal acts such as; robbing stagecoaches, attacking armories, raiding mines for silver which was later sold, and stealing from the rich residents of towns he raided. During Bernal's ten year stint as a bandit and as a political rebel, he managed to evade capture repeatedly due to his established good relations with the lower class and important people of the region he operated within. It is also believed police and soldiers would sell Bernal, and other bandits, weapons and ammunition.

paragraph: Throughout Bernal's career he was heavily pursued by the local governor Francisco Cañedo, often challenging and mocking him. Stories exist of Bernal challenging Cañedo and President Porfirio Díaz. When Diaz held a dinner for local dignitaries, Bernal is said to have countered with an even more lavish dinner in a neighboring town. While the stories are in doubt, they led to Bernal being viewed as a hero by the people of the surrounding villages.

paragraph: At some point, probably in 1883, Bernal's group was joined by five of the Parra brothers, including Ignacio Parra whose gang would absorb many of Bernal's members following his death.

paragraph: In 1885 Bernal attempted to enter government service and sent word to president Díaz of an offer. In exchange for service as an officer, Bernal wanted 30,000 pesos to finance himself and his security. He also demanded the release of any of his captured gang members, including his imprisoned brother. Díaz refused the offer, though it is believed Bernal could have received a pardon had he not requested such a high payment.

paragraph: Section::::Politics and death.

paragraph: In 1887 Bernal entered the role of a political rebel, creating a platform which called for a return to the 1857 Constitution of Mexico, which had barred repeated re-elections of the same candidate. The move to enact such a policy was past its time, as many of those who would have backed Bernal now preferred to have Díaz repeatedly re-elected to maintain control.

paragraph: In time the government would move soldiers into the Mazatlán region and form anti-guerrilla forces to track down Bernal. A ransom of 10,000 pesos was placed on the capture of Bernal, and he was soon after set up in an ambush by two of his gang members. Bernal died on January 5, 1888.

paragraph: Section::::Ballads/Corridos.

paragraph: Over thirty corridos or folk ballads exist placing Bernal in the role of a hero and promoting his exploits. One of the more popular involves changing of the colors of the horse Bernal is riding on and the features of description:

paragraph: Aspects of Bernal's life may have evolved into the folk-saint Jesús Malverde.

paragraph: Murō Saisei

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: His real name was Murō Terumichi. Born in 1889, he was given birth by his mother Haru, who was never formally married to his father, Kobata Yozaemon-kichidane, a low-ranked military commander from the Kobata family.

He gained his Muro family name at the age of seven when he was formally adopted by his stepfather. He never met his biological parents.

paragraph: The fact that he was born as an illegitimate child has had immense impact on his life and his literature. During his childhood, he was bullied by peers as 'the mistress' child'. At the same time, he craved for a mother he never had. This gave him the burden of having double bind thoughts to his biological mother, such as in the following poem;

paragraph: Born into the womb of a HIPPU (：a woman in a very low social position who is considered stupid and worthless) on a summer's day.

He had published such literature as “Childhood” and “Awakening to Sexuality” and was gaining publicity as a writer.

paragraph: He published his first Haiku Collection “Gyomindouhatsu-kushu” () in 1929.

paragraph: By the 1930s, he entered his era of writing novels and published a book titled “Goodbye Poem, I am breaking up with you” in 1934 as his declaration of farewell to poetry, but he actually had composed quite a lot of poems even after this public announcement.

Due in some part to the dedication of his father and the generosity of the townspeople, the scholarly Fearon was given the funds to attend St John's College, Cambridge, where he studied mathematics, coming third in his year when he graduated in 1813.

paragraph: He obtained his Master of Arts in 1816 and went on to teach mathematics at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He also became a Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge and an ordained priest in the Church of England. On 29 February 1820 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and on 8 June 1820 he was granted a fellowship of the Royal Society. One of his proposers for his fellowship to the Royal Society was John Herschel (son of William Herschel) whom he met at St John's College, Cambridge. Later in that year he was appointed by the Admiralty to be the astronomer at the Cape of Good Hope, which would involve overseeing the building of an observatory in what was then a British colony.

paragraph: Before travelling to South Africa, he married Mary Anne Hervey, on 1 January 1821.

paragraph: Between 1821 and 1829 he worked to site, plan and develop the observatory, which was the first astronomical observatory in the southern hemisphere. He also served the Church of England in his time there.

paragraph: He, and all the observatory staff, caught scarlet fever in 1830 and, still director of the observatory, he died of scarlet fever in Simon's Town, South Africa in 1831 at the age of forty-three.

paragraph: Section::::Astronomical work.

paragraph: He was the astronomer to King George IV, and catalogued over 300 stars from his observatory in South Africa.

paragraph: When he first arrived, he only had two portable instruments and a clock, perhaps a Harrison clock. The instruments were a Circle and a Transit Instrument. When the observatory was built, he used a Jones Mural Circle and a Dolland Transit Circle.

paragraph: Saturninus of Cagliari

paragraph: Saint Saturninus of Cagliari () is venerated as the patron saint of Cagliari. According to Christian tradition, Saturninus was a local martyr –that is, he was killed at Cagliari by order of governor Barbarus. The legend states that he was beheaded for refusing to offer sacrifices to Jupiter during the persecutions of Christians by Diocletian.

paragraph: However, some scholars have determined that this tradition was invented centuries after the supposed martyrdom, and that the legend was devised "a posteriori" to attach a story to the name to whom the local ancient basilica was dedicated. But the name of the saint in Sardinian language, "Santu Sadurru" (Saint Saturnus) suggests that there really was the martyrodom of Saturnus, a young Christian by the pagans and the saint was exactly buried where the ancient church was erected.

paragraph: Saint Saturninus was so confused with Saturninus of Toulouse (Sernin). "Saturninus" was the name of several other martyrs, including some belonging to the group of the Martyrs of Abitina, and close trading ties and communications between North Africa and Cagliari may have resulted in the cult of a North African saint becoming attached to this Sardinian location.

paragraph: Papulus

paragraph: Saint Papulus () was, according to Christian tradition, a priest who worked with Saturninus of Toulouse to evangelize southern Gaul. Papulus is considered an evangelist of the Lauragais.

paragraph: Legends associated with Saturninus state that after Saint Peter consecrated him a bishop, "he was given for his companion Papulus, later to become Saint Papulus the Martyr."

paragraph: He was martyred, like Saturninus, during the persecutions of Diocletian. Papulus' unreliable legend states that upon reaching Carcassonne, he and Saturninus were imprisoned in a tower by the magistrate Rufinus, but they were miraculously released and went to Toulouse. Saturninus went into Spain, leaving Papulus in charge of the Christian converts at Toulouse. His legend states that he performed countless miracles and converted many pagans. He was ultimately beheaded after being tortured.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: Papulus' relics were translated to the church of Saint Saturninus at Toulouse.

paragraph: The town of Saint-Papoul was founded during the 8th century when an abbey was established here, dedicated to Papulus.

paragraph: The diocese of Saint-Papoul, of which Saint-Papoul Cathedral was the center, was created as an episcopal see by John XXII in 1317.

paragraph: Ernst Büchner

paragraph: Ernst Büchner (18 March 1850 – 25 April 1924) was the German industrial chemist after whom the Büchner flask and Büchner funnel are named. The patent for his two inventions was published in 1888.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: His father was the pharmacist, chemist, industrialist and politician Wilhelm Büchner. Ernst was also the nephew of the playwright Georg Büchner and the philosopher, physiologist and physician Ludwig Büchner. Büchner studied chemistry in Tübingen. In his dissertation, he addressed the issue of separation of Chlorbromanilins. In 1882, Ernst Büchner took over the management of the family business. In 1890 he divided the Pfungstadt operating in the "United ultramarine factories". The creation of such an agreement was in response to the emerging "petrochemistry" whose further growth finally resulted in the extinction of the company in 1893. Büchner was first married with his cousin Mathilda Büchner (6 January 1850 – 1 April 1908) and had two children with her, the chemist Carl Büchner (28 June 1877 – 9 July 1929) and the painter Friedrich (Fritz) Büchner (1 April 1880 – 22 June 1965). After their divorce in 1885, he married Marie Ludovike Karoline von Ferber (6 August 1850 – 20 April 1925). From this marriage came Anton Büchner (28 July 1887 – 27 August 1985), the first biographer of the Büchner siblings.

paragraph: Dallas Williams

paragraph: Dallas McKinley Williams (born February 28, 1958), is a former professional baseball outfielder and coach. He played parts of two seasons in Major League Baseball with the Baltimore Orioles and Cincinnati Reds, and one season in Nippon Professional Baseball in 1988. Since 1989, he has been a baseball coach at various minor league levels, including serving as first base coach for the Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox.

Earlier in 1981, Williams played in the longest game in professional baseball history, Rochester's 3-2 33-inning loss at Pawtucket. Williams went 0-for-13 in the game. Williams' 0-13 line is also a record in futility in any single professional baseball game.

paragraph: The following spring, the Orioles traded Williams to the Reds along with another minor leaguer in exchange for catcher Joe Nolan. Williams got a slightly more extended shot with Cincinnati, playing in 18 games in September, 1983, but he managed just 2 hits in 36 at bats.

paragraph: Onfim

paragraph: Onfim (Old Novgorodian: онѳиме, "Onfime"; also, Anthemius of Novgorod) was a boy who lived in Novgorod in the 13th century. He left his notes and homework exercises scratched in soft birch bark ("beresta") which was preserved in the clay soil of Novgorod. Onfim, who was six or seven at the time, wrote in Old Novgorodian; besides letters and syllables, he drew "battle scenes and drawings of himself and his teacher".

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Novgorod, now known as Veliky Novgorod, is the important administrative center of the Novgorod Oblast. Some south of Saint Petersburg, the city is surrounded by birch forests, whose bark was used for centuries by the locals for writing since it was soft and easily scratched. Since 1951, more than 1100 pieces of birch bark with writing on it have been found, and more are dug up every summer. The term "beresty", denoting such birch bark manuscripts, is a plural form of "beresta" ("birch bark"), and the study of "beresty" is called "berestologija". The great amount of "beresty" is indicative of a high rate of literacy among the population, as is the large number of styluses.

paragraph: Section::::Onfim's writings.

paragraph: Onfim left seventeen birch bark items. Twelve of those have illustrations, five only text. One of the drawings features a knight on a horse, stabbing someone on the ground with a lance, with scholars speculating that Onfim pictured himself as the knight. The writings are clearly homework exercises: Onfim practiced by writing out the alphabet, repeating syllables, and writing psalms—texts that were presumably familiar to him. His writing includes phrases such as "Lord, help your servant Onfim" and fragments from Psalms 6:2 and 27:3; in fact, most of Onfim's writing consists of citations from the Book of Psalms.

paragraph: Onfim's illustrations include pictures of knights, horses, arrows, and slain enemies—a range of subject considered "of all time". One striking image, "a portrait of himself, disguised as a fantastic animal", is found on item 199 (pictured above; it was originally the bottom of a basket made of birch bark), which contains a picture of a beast with a long neck, pointy ears, and a curly tail. The beast either has an arrow with feathers in its mouth or is spewing fire; one of the accompanying texts (the one below the box) says "I am a wild beast" (the text in the box says "Greetings from Onfim to Danilo"). The rows of five letters each on the other side of 199 are an alphabet exercise. On item 205 (not pictured in this article), Onfim wrote the Cyrillic alphabet and added "On[f]", for his name, in the middle; below that alphabet is what some researchers see as a boat with oars. Item 206 contains alphabetic exercises and "'portraits' of little Onfim and his friends".

paragraph: BULLET::::- Alicia Honoria Blakeney (1833- )

paragraph: In 1831 he became a barrister in London and in Ireland in 1836.

paragraph: Section::::Decision to immigrate.

paragraph: Following the death of his father in 1845, he inherited the family property, Holywell, in County Roscommon from which he derived a rental income of £1500 per annum. However, he led an extravagant life and eventually lost his assets through his gambling debts. An obituary published at the time of his death suggested that he had lost his estates due to the effects of the Irish Famine, as landholders were required to provide relief for their tenants. His son William Theophilus Blakeney had already immigrated to New South Wales so Charles Blakeney decided to immigrate too, where he became a barrister in the Northern Circuit Court of Moreton Bay, moving to Brisbane in 1859.

paragraph: Section::::Public life.

paragraph: He was elected a Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the seat of Town of Brisbane from 11 May 1860 to 25 November 1865. He was Chairman of Committees from 12 June 1861 to 22 May 1863.

paragraph: He resigned in order to take up appointment as the first judge of the Western District Court, which covered Condamine, Dalby and Roma.

paragraph: Section::::Public life.:Trial of Harry Redford.

paragraph: As the judge, Charles Blakeney presided over the 1873 trial of Harry Redford (sometimes spelled Readford) at Roma Courthouse. Redford was a cattle rustler, who is believed to be the inspiration for the fictional character Captain Starlight in the novel Robbery Under Arms. In 1870, Redford was working as a stockman on Bowen Downs Station near Longreach in Queensland, where, with two associates, George Dewdney and William Rooke, he stole about 1,000 cattle. Knowing the cattle would be easily identified by their cattle brands in Queensland, he drovethe cattle through the inhospitable terrain of the Channel Country and the Strzelecki Desert to South Australia where he sold the cattle for £5,000.

paragraph: Redford was apprehended in Sydney in 1872, and faced trial in Roma, Queensland; Redford's solicitor was Charles William Blakeney's son, Charles John Blakeney. Despite the compelling evidence presented by the prosecutor, the jury members were so impressed by Redford's achievements in taking the cattle to South Australia that they found him not guilty, whereupon Charles Blakeney remarked, "Thank God, gentlemen, that verdict is yours and not mine!" In response to the apparent disregard for justice shown by the verdict, in July 1873, the Government shut down the Roma District Criminal Court for two years but rescinded the order in January 1874.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Around 1874, he suffered a paralytical stroke. This eventually affected his mind and he was unable to continue as a judge and retired from public life in September 1875. On 12 January 1876, he left his home to take a morning walk, but failed to return. He was later found drowned in the Brisbane River believed to have been caused by his mental affliction. On 14 January 1876, he was buried in South Brisbane Cemetery at Dutton Park.
