paragraph: Albert Bond Lambert

paragraph: Albert Bond Lambert (December 6, 1875 – November 12, 1946) was an American golfer who competed in the 1900 Summer Olympics and in the 1904 Summer Olympics.

paragraph: He was also a prominent St. Louis aviator and benefactor of aviation.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was son of Jordan W. Lambert, founder of Lambert Pharmaceutical Company which made Listerine. He initially studied at the University of Virginia and became president of the family business in 1896. He became chairman in 1923 and stepped down in 1926 when it was acquired by another firm.

paragraph: Section::::Golf.

paragraph: At the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, Lambert finished eighth in the individual event.

paragraph: Four years later he was part of the American team which won the silver medal, making Lambert the only golfer to have competed in both Olympic golf tournaments. He finished 12th in this competition.

paragraph: In the individual competition he finished eighth in the qualification and was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the match play.

paragraph: Section::::Aviation.

paragraph: Lambert was a Police Commissioner of St. Louis and a local industrialist. In 1906 he became interested in aviation, and took ballooning lessons. In 1907 he was one of the founders of the Aero Club of St. Louis. (The Club used "military" titles; hence Lambert's title "Major.") He attended the Smith Academy at Washington University in St. Louis

paragraph: In 1909, Lambert met the Wright Brothers, and purchased his first airplane from them. He took flying lessons from Orville Wright, and in 1911 became the first St. Louis resident to hold a pilot's license. During World War I, he served in the Aviation Section of the United States Army Signal Corps, as an instructor in ballooning and parachuting.

paragraph: In 1925, for $68,000, Lambert purchased Kinloch Field of Kinloch, Missouri, a field northwest of St. Louis, which had been used for hot air balloon ascensions and the first international air meet. For the next seven years, Lambert, at his own expense, developed the field with runways and hangars. In 1927 Lambert was one of the St. Louis committee of backers to Charles Lindbergh's purchasing of his airplane "The Spirit of St. Louis" for his epoch-making transatlantic solo trip to Paris. Lindbergh was at the time a resident of St. Louis as well as an airmail pilot flying the mail between St. Louis and Chicago. The following year, 1928, Lambert sold the field to the city of St. Louis for $68,000, the same price he had paid for it before making improvements. St. Louis Lambert International Airport thus became one of the first municipal airports in the United States.

paragraph: Meñli I Giray

paragraph: Meñli I Giray () (1445–1515), also spelled as Mengli I Giray, was a "khan" of the Crimean Khanate (1466, 1469–1475, 1478–1515) and the sixth son of Hacı I Giray.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Struggle for power (1466-78): It took Mengli twelve years to establish himself as khan. When Haji Girai died power went to his eldest son Nur Devlet. Mengli revolted. He was supported by the Crimean nobility while Nur Devlet was supported by the Great Horde. In 1467 Mengli occupied the capital of Kyrk-Er (Chufut-Kale) but was soon driven out by Nur Devlet and fled to the Genoese at Kaffa. In June 1468 a delegation of nobles elected him khan at Kaffa. He, the nobles and a Genoese detachment marched on the capital. After six months Nur Devlet was expelled and fled to the North Caucasus, but was captured and imprisoned in the Genoese fortress at Sudak.

paragraph: During his second reign (1469-75) he made an anti-Turkish alliance with Principality of Theodoro. In the summer of 1469 a Turkish fleet burned some villages near Kaffa. From late 1473 Eminek made himself head of the Shirin clan which held the eastern peninsula of Crimea. He became the second most powerful man in the country and was often hostile to Mengli.

paragraph: In March 1475 the nobles replaced Mengli with his elder brother Hayder of Crimea. Mengli fled to Kaffa. In May 1475 a large Turkish fleet arrived at Kaffa seeking to subordinate the Genoese. They took Kaffa and other Genoese forts and the Principality of Theodoro. Mengli, who had supported the Genoese, was captured and taken to Istanbul. Nur Devlet was released from prison and restored as a Turkish vassal. Nur Devlet’s third reign (1475-78) was unsuccessful. In the winter of 1477/78 Crimea was briefly conquered by Janibeg, a nephew of Akhmed Khan of the Great Horde. Eminek wrote to the sultan asking that Mengli be restored. In the spring of 1478 Mengli was released and arrived at Crimea with a Turkish fleet and Turkish soldiers. He was joined by Eminek’s troops, Nur Devlet was driven out and Mengli became khan as a Turkish vassal.

paragraph: Third reign (1478-1515): He made a great contribution to the development of Crimean Tatar statehood. He founded the fortress of Özü.

paragraph: In 1480, Meñli entered into a treaty of alliance with Ivan III, Grand Duke of Muscovy. The alliance was directed against Poland-Lithuania, the Great Horde and the Khanate of Astrakhan. This was an important factor in the Great stand on the Ugra river which led to Russian independence from the Great Horde.

paragraph: In 1502, Meñli defeated the last "khan" of the Golden Horde and took control over its capital, Saray. He proclaimed himself "Khagan" (Emperor), claiming legitimacy as the successor of the Golden Horde's authority over the Tatar khaganates in the Caspian-Volga region.

paragraph: Meñli was buried in the "Dürbe" (or türbe) of Salaçıq in Bakhchysarai. In that city, he commissioned "Zıncırlı Medrese" (medrese with chains) in Salaçıq (1500), "Dürbe" in Salaçıq (1501), and "Demir Qapı" (Iron Gate) portal in the Bakhchisaray Palace (by Aloisio the New) (1503).

paragraph: Meñli often depended on troops from the Crimea's numerous Italian trading cities, and Genoese mercenaries formed a significant part of his army.

paragraph: For his raids on Lithuania see Crimean-Nogai Raids for years 1480-1511.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Meñli was a father of Mehmed I Giray and Sahib I Giray.

paragraph: Meñli I Giray was once thought to be the maternal grandfather of Suleiman the Magnificent through his putative daughter Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, but this has been disproved.

paragraph: Meñli's wives were:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Zayan (Shayan) Sultan Khatun, daughter of Prince Yadigar, bey of the Sedjeuts;

paragraph: BULLET::::- Makhdum Sultan Khatun, daughter of King Inarmaz Mirza, King of Circassia;

paragraph: BULLET::::- Nur Sultan Khatun, daughter of Prince Timur ibn Mansur, bey of the Manghits.

paragraph: William Fraser (died 1297) was a late 13th century Bishop of St Andrews and Guardian of the Kingdom of Scotland. Before election to the bishopric, he had been and Royal Chancellor of King Alexander III of Scotland and dean of Glasgow. He was elected to the bishopric on 4 August 1279, and confirmed in the position the following year by Pope Nicholas III

paragraph: In 1295, William was sent to France as part of the king's attempt to gain an alliance with the French king, on 20 August 1297. William was one of the leading political figures in the kingdom during the crisis that emerged in the aftermath of King Alexander. In 1290, he was elected as one of the six Guardians of Scotland, the six oligarchs who ran Scotland until the accession of King John Balliol. When the latter was appointed as King of Scots by King Edward I of England, William retained his role as one of the country's leading political players. In 1295, William was sent to France as part of the king's attempt to gaine an alliance with the King of the French. He remained in France for the remaining two years of his life, and died at Artuyl, on 20 August 1297. He was buried in the Church of the "Preaching Friars" on the Rue Saint-Jacques in Paris. His heart was returned to St Andrews, and was buried in the wall of the church by his successor, William de Lamberton.

paragraph: Denis Noble

paragraph: Denis Noble (born 16 November 1936) is a British biologist who held the Burdon Sanderson Chair of Cardiovascular Physiology at the University of Oxford from 1984 to 2004 and was appointed Professor Emeritus and co-Director of Computational Physiology. He is one of the pioneers of systems biology and developed the first viable mathematical model of the working heart in 1960.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Noble was educated at Emanuel School and University College London (UCL). In 1958 he began his investigations into the mechanisms of heartbeat. This led to two seminal papers in "Nature" in 1960 giving the first proper simulation of the heart. From this work it became clear that there was not a single oscillator which controlled heartbeat, but rather this was an emergent property of the feedback loops in the various channels. In 1961 he obtained his PhD working under the supervision of Otto Hutter at UCL.

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: Noble's research focuses on using computer models of biological organs and organ systems to interpret function from the molecular level to the whole organism. Together with international collaborators, his team has used supercomputers to create the first virtual organ, the virtual heart.

paragraph: As secretary-general of the International Union of Physiological Sciences 1993–2001, he played a major role in launching the Physiome Project, an international project to use computer simulations to create the quantitative physiological models necessary to interpret the genome, and he was elected president of the IUPS at its world congress in Kyoto in 2009.

paragraph: Noble is also a philosopher of biology, and his books "The Music of Life" and "Dance to the Tune of Life" challenge the foundations of current biological sciences, question the central dogma, its unidirectional view of information flow, and its imposition of a bottom-up methodology for research in the life sciences

paragraph: Section::::Research.:Reductionism.

paragraph: His 2006 book "The Music of Life" examines some of the basic aspects of systems biology, and is critical of the ideas of genetic determinism and genetic reductionism. He points out that there are many examples of feedback loops and "downward causation" in biology, and that it is not reasonable to privilege one level of understanding over all others. He also explains that genes in fact work in groups and systems, so that the genome is more like a set of organ pipes than a "blueprint for life". His 2016 book "Dance to the Tune of Life" sets these ideas out in a broad sweep from the general principle of relativity applied to biology, through to the role of purpose in evolution and to the relativity of epistemology.

paragraph: He contrasts Dawkins's famous statement in "The Selfish Gene" ("Now they [genes] swarm ... safe inside gigantic lumbering robots ... they created us, body and mind; and their preservation is the ultimate rationale for our existence") with an alternative view: "Now they [genes] are trapped in huge colonies, locked inside highly intelligent beings, moulded by the outside world, communicating with it by complex processes, through which, blindly, as if by magic, function emerges. They are in you and me; we are the system that allows their code to be read; and their preservation is totally dependent on the joy we experience in reproducing ourselves. We are the ultimate rationale for their existence". He then suggests that there is no empirical difference between these statements, and says that they differ in "metaphor" and "sociological or polemical viewpoint".

paragraph: He argues that "the paradigms for genetic causality in biological systems are seriously confused" and that "The metaphors that served us well during the molecular biological phase of recent decades have limited or even misleading impacts in the multilevel world of systems biology. New paradigms are needed if we are to succeed in unravelling multifactorial genetic causation at higher levels of physiological function and so to explain the phenomena that genetics was originally about."

paragraph: Section::::Research.:Evolution.

paragraph: Noble has called for an extended evolutionary synthesis, and more controversially a replacement for the modern synthesis.

paragraph: He has argued that from research in epigenetics, acquired characteristics can be inherited and in contrast to the modern synthesis, genetic change is "far from random" and not always gradual. He has also claimed that the central dogma of molecular biology has been broken as an "embodiment of the Weismann Barrier", and a new synthesis will integrate research from physiology with evolutionary biology.

paragraph: Section::::Research.:Principles of Systems Biology.

paragraph: Noble has proposed Ten Principles of Systems Biology:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Biological functionality is multi-level

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Transmission of information is not one way

paragraph: BULLET::::3. DNA is not the sole transmitter of inheritance

paragraph: BULLET::::4. The theory of biological relativity: there is no privileged level of causality

paragraph: BULLET::::5. Gene ontology will fail without higher-level insight

paragraph: BULLET::::6. There is no genetic program

paragraph: BULLET::::7. There are no programs at any other level

paragraph: BULLET::::8. There are no programs in the brain

paragraph: BULLET::::9. The self is not an object

paragraph: Diana Temple

paragraph: Diana Temple AM (1925–2006) was an Australian pharmacologist and Associate Professor who pioneered respiratory research in Australia. She was recognised for her work on respiratory pharmacology, the role of women in science and in promoting popular science.

paragraph: Section::::Personal Life.

paragraph: Diana Temple was born Diana Marmion on 21 April 1925 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, a gold-mining town on the edge of Australia's Nullarbor Plain. Temple's husband was scientist Richard Bernard Foster Temple and they had two children, Helen and Jonathan.

paragraph: Temple died in Sydney in New South Wales, Australia, of chronic lung disease on 29th Aug, 2006 at 81 years of age. Temple was a keen bush-walker who enjoyed spending time with her family. She lived her life with asthma which was worsened by bronchiectasis near the end of her life.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Temple graduated with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in 1947 from the University of Western Australia in Perth, Australia. In 1949, she completed a Master of Science (MSc) at the University of Sydney. Temple graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University of Sydney in 1962.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Temple's career first began during World War II as a laboratory assistant at Western Australia's Great Boulder gold mine when she was 17 years old. Following her initial studies, Temple travelled to the United Kingdom to work at the Harwell Research Institute in Harwell, where she met and married her partner Richard. After six years, the couple returned to Sydney, where she received a grant to study further.

paragraph: Temple joined the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Sydney as a Research Fellow and Part-Time Lecturer in 1961, and several years after completing her PhD, was appointed Senior Lecturer in 1967. In 1976, Temple was promoted to Associate Professor and became Head of Department in 1976, a position she held until 1979.

paragraph: Temple retired in 1990 and became an Honorary Fellow with the Department of Pharmacology at The University of Sydney until 2006. During her career, she published 100 scientific papers, supervised 41 research students, and delivered keynote speeches at 60 conferences. During this time, Temple was recognised as a Life Member of the Faculty of Medicine, 1995.

paragraph: Section::::Honours.

paragraph: In 1999, Diana Temple was appointed a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia for service to medical and scientific research, particularly in the field of respiratory pharmacology, as an advocate for the role of women in science and in promoting an understanding of science by the general public.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Following Temple's death, her advocacy for women in science was honoured with the annual Diana Temple AM Memorial Lecture. The 9th lecture was delivered by surgeon, Dr Caprice C. Greenberg, in May 2018. Temple's daughter Helen and grand daughter Charlotte, were in attendance, along with Professor Jennifer Byrne, a researcher who worked with Dr Temple. Professor Byrne spoke about Dr Temple's passion and advocacy for women in science, as well as her love for the environment and bush-walking.

paragraph: Section::::Leadership.

paragraph: Temple was part of a group of senior faculty who studied the role and achievements of women academics. In the book that resulted from this work, entitled "Why So Few? Women Academics in Australian Universities", Temple wrote a chapter devoted to the place of women in science and medicine.

paragraph: This work prompted her to go on to play a key role in the establishment of Australia's Women in Science Enquiry Network (WiSEnet) to increase women's participation in the sciences, serving as the first National Convenor. In 2016, WiSEnet merged with the national organisation Women in STEMM Australia. In the following years, Temple gave many lectures and informal talks and published several articles on women in science.

paragraph: Temple was also a role model and mentor. Professor Judith Black, one of Temple's former students, said “She was a very good role model because not only was she such an active academic and researcher, but she also had a family and kids.” Temple's former colleague, Professor Graham Johnston, said “She had this quiet resolve to make sure women got a fair deal—in fact to make sure that everyone got a fair deal.”

paragraph: Marta Anna Wiecka

paragraph: Blessed Marta Anna Wiecka (12 January 1874 - 30 May 1904) was a Polish Roman Catholic professed religious of the Vincentian Sisters. She assumed the name of "Maria" upon taking her vows. Wiecka worked throughout her life as a nurse in various hospitals in both Poland and in the Ukraine.

paragraph: Wiecka was beatified on 24 May 2008 after a singular miracle was attributed to her intercession. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone presided over the beatification on the behalf of Pope Benedict XVI.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Marta Anna Wiecka was born in 1874 in Poland as the third of thirteen children to Marceli Wiecka and Paulina Kamrowska; one brother was the priest Jan (1878-1970). Wiecka was baptized on 18 January 1874 in the parish church of Szczodrowo. She was on the verge of death at the age of two in 1876 but was healed after her parents turned to the Blessed Virgin Mary for her intercession.

paragraph: Wiecka was a good natured child who aided her mother with the household chores and also dealt with looking after her siblings. She was also known for her ardent devotion to Saint John of Nepomuk; she would have her first Confession on 8 September 1866 and her First Communion on 3 October 1866.

paragraph: At the age of sixteen she applied to the Vincentian Sisters in Chelmo but was told she was not old enough to join. She tried once more at the age of 18 but was turned to their branch in Kraków where she was accepted.

paragraph: She entered the Vincentian Sisters in Kraków on 26 April 1892 and assumed the religious name of "Maria". On 12 April 1893 she was clothed in the habit and awaited her first assignment. Following her novitiate she was sent to work as a nurse at a hospital in Lviv in the Ukraine. On 15 November 1894 she was moved to a hospital in Podhajce and in 1899 to Bochnia. She made her first vows on 15 August 1897 - on the Feast of the Assumption.

paragraph: In 1899 she received a vision of the crucified Jesus Christ who urged Wiecka to endure her suffering and defeat it with patience. Her suffering would come to pass soon enough: a patient deemed mental who had left the hospital started a rumor that she was pregnant after an affair with a patient who was a student and nephew of the parish priest; she remained in Bochnia until she managed to prove her innocence.

paragraph: Wiecka contracted a severe fever after working with ill people in the hospital in 1904 and reported feeling quite weak on 23 May. Her brother, Father Jan, rushed to her bedside upon hearing this news. She died in the evening of 30 May of typhoid. The Jews - before she died - even performed a special service in the hopes she would recover.

paragraph: Section::::Beatification.

paragraph: The beatification process opened in Ukraine after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved the opening of the process on 9 October 1997 in an act that granted Wiecka the official title of Servant of God - the first stage of the process. The diocesan process was tasked with collecting documents and evidence that would attest to her potential beatification and spanned from 16 October 1997 until 30 June 1998. The process was declared to have done its work in 1999 and allowed for C.C.S. officials to begin their own investigation.

paragraph: The Positio was then submitted to the C.C.S. in Rome in 2001 for additional investigation and allowed for them to debate if her cause was credible and could proceed. On 20 December 2004 she was proclaimed to be Venerable after Pope John Paul II acknowledged that Wiecka had lived a life of heroic virtue.

paragraph: The investigation for a miracle - the prerequisite for her beatification - was held in the diocese of its origin in Poland from 1 July 2003 until 10 October 2003 in which medical documentation and witness testimonies were collated into a large dossier. The miracle was the healing in 2001 of Bronislaw Kohn. The C.C.S. approved the process on 18 June 2004 and began their own investigation into the alleged miracle. It received the papal approval of Pope Benedict XVI in 2007 and allowed for her to be beatified. Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone - on the pope's behalf - presided over the beatification in Lviv on 24 May 2008.

paragraph: The current postulator assigned to the cause is Father Shijo Kanjirathamkunnel.

paragraph: Archibald Campbell, 7th Earl of Argyll

paragraph: Archibald Campbell, 7th Earl of Argyll (c. 1575–1638), also called ""Gillesbuig Grumach"", was a Scottish peer, politician, and military leader.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Campbell was the son of Colin Campbell, 6th Earl of Argyll and in 1594 he had commanded royal troops in the Battle of Glenlivet against Catholic Rebels, especially the Gordons of Huntly.

paragraph: On 24 July 1592, he married his first wife - Lady Agnes Douglas, daughter of the Earl of Morton. Together they had at least 5 children, including a son and heir. His nickname, ""Gillesbuig Grumach"" is the Gaelic for "Archibald the Grim". This presumably originates from his first wife Lady Agnes Douglas and after her 14th century ancestor, Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas.

paragraph: After the death of his first wife about 1607 or 1608, he married secondly Anne (Cornwallis), with at least 4 more children. In 1618 Archibald Campbell converted to Roman Catholicism, religion of his new wife, from Presbyterianism. By 1619, he had surrendered his estates to his son, Archibald Campbell. He was made a knight of the Golden Fleece in 1624. He had announced his new religion from the Netherlands and as a consequence he was declared a traitor in Edinburgh on 16 February 1619 and banned from his country. He was very supportive of his new religion even after he was allowed back in 1621. He was interested in military solutions in Ireland in 1622, but he was unable to raise an army. He and his wife returned to Britain and lived at Drury Lane in London having abandoned everything apart from his title to his heir. The 7th Earl of Argyll is buried at Kilmun Parish Church.

paragraph: Stewart Sutherland, Baron Sutherland of Houndwood

paragraph: Stewart Ross Sutherland, Baron Sutherland of Houndwood, (25 February 1941 – 29 January 2018) was a Scottish academic and public servant and one of Britain's most distinguished philosophers of religion. He sat as a crossbencher in the House of Lords.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: He was educated at Robert Gordon's College. In 1963 he graduated from the University of Aberdeen with a first-class Master of Arts in Philosophy, and received a Bachelor of Arts in the Philosophy of Religion from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1965.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was then appointed assistant lecturer in philosophy at the University College of North Wales, and three years later returned to Scotland as a lecturer at the University of Stirling. In Stirling, he established the Religious Studies department and recruited John Drane and the late Glyn Richards to work alongside him in this enterprise. Then in 1977 he became Professor of the History and Philosophy of Religion at King's College London, and was subsequently appointed Vice-Principal and Principal there in 1981 and 1985 respectively.

paragraph: In 1990, Sutherland became Vice-Chancellor of the University of London, and was appointed Chief Inspector of Schools two years later. He succeeded this post as Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, in which position he served until 2002. During his Principalship the University made significant advances in teaching and research, effectively implementing organisational change. He was the Provost of Gresham College between 2002 and 2008. In 1992, he was elected to the British Academy, and in 1995 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the same year he was knighted and became President in 2002. He served on the Higher Education Funding Council for England, and the equivalent body in Hong Kong.

paragraph: Following his involvement in the establishment of the Age Concern Institute of Gerontology at King's College London, he was invited by the incoming Blair government in 1997 to chair a Royal Commission on Long-Term Care of Older People. This recommended that government (including the NHS and local authorities) should be responsible for providing free care in the spirit of the NHS Act to all people even if their illness takes the form of a chronic mental frailty. His recommendations were taken up by the devolved Scottish government, though were never implemented for England and Wales.

paragraph: Section::::Philosophy.

paragraph: As a philosopher of religion, Sutherland had focused on how people continue to be morally responsible human beings in pluralist societies without the metaphysical security of traditional and potentially divisive systems of belief. Influenced by his intellectual mentor, Donald M. MacKinnon, Sutherland’s approach has brought the clarity and rigour of the Anglo-American tradition of analytic philosophy into conversation with literary and philosophical thinkers on the European continent.

paragraph: In "Atheism and the Rejection of God: Contemporary Philosophy and "The Brothers Karamazov"" (1977) and "Faith and Ambiguity" (1984), he explored continental thinkers including Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Camus and Weil. His Wilde Lectures at Oxford University – published as "God, Jesus and Belief: The Legacy of Theism" (1984) – explored a range of intellectual, moral and existential issues in contemporary philosophical theology, developing further his argument that Christian ethical and faith traditions continue to have an enduring value at a time when former patterns of belief have broken down. He further promoted his field of study in two influential edited volumes, "The Philosophical Frontiers of Christian Theology: Essays Presented to D. M. MacKinnon" (with Brian

paragraph: Hebblethwaite), (1982) and "Religion, Reason and the Self" (with T A Roberts), (1989).

paragraph: In two other edited volumes, "World Religions" (1988), and "The Study of Religion: Traditional and New Religions" (with Peter Clarke), (1991), he had contributed to the increasingly significant field of religious studies in school and university curricula, while also promoting understanding and mutual respect amongst peoples of different faiths.

paragraph: Section::::Achievements and honours.

paragraph: Sutherland was made a Knight Bachelor in 1995.

paragraph: On 29 June 2001, he was created a life peer as Baron Sutherland of Houndwood, of Houndwood in the Scottish Borders, and was the following year elected to the presidency of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In the introduction to the House of Lords ceremony, his Senior Supporter was The Lord Flowers and his Junior Supporter was The Lord Wilson of Tillyorn.

paragraph: He was made a Knight of the Thistle in 2002, was the recipient of a number of honorary degrees, and continued to serve with various institutions. In 2004 he became a Fellow of Birkbeck, University of London. On 31 May 1996 he received an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Theology at Uppsala University, Sweden.

paragraph: In 2005, he became a member of the editorial board of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

paragraph: Eduard Study

paragraph: Eduard Study, more properly Christian Hugo Eduard Study (March 23, 1862 – January 6, 1930), was a German mathematician known for work on invariant theory of ternary forms (1889) and for the study of spherical trigonometry. He is also known for contributions to space geometry, hypercomplex numbers, and criticism of early physical chemistry.

paragraph: Study was born in Coburg in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. His family was of Jewish descent. He died in Bonn.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Eduard Study began his university career in Jena, Strasbourg, Leipzig, and Munich. He loved to study biology, especially entomology. He was awarded the doctorate in mathematics at the University of Munich in 1884. Paul Gordan, an expert in invariant theory was at Leipzig, and Study returned there as Privatdozent. In 1888 he moved to Marburg and in 1893 embarked on a speaking tour in the U.S.A. He appeared at a Congress of Mathematicians in Chicago as part of the World's Columbian Exposition and took part in mathematics at Johns Hopkins University. Back in Germany, in 1894, he was appointed extraordinary professor at Göttingen. Then he gained the rank of full professor in 1897 at Greifswald. In 1904 he was called to the University of Bonn as the position held by Rudolf Lipschitz was vacant. There he settled until retirement in 1927.

paragraph: Study gave a plenary address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1904 at Heidelberg and another in 1912 at Cambridge, UK.

paragraph: Section::::Euclidean space group and dual quaternions.

paragraph: In 1891 Eduard Study published "Of Motions and Translations, in two parts". It treats the Euclidean group E(3). The second part of his article

paragraph: introduces the associative algebra of dual quaternions, that is numbers

paragraph: where "a", "b", "c", and "d" are dual numbers and {1, "i", "j", "k"} multiply as in the quaternion group. Actually Study uses notation such that

paragraph: The multiplication table is found on page 520 of volume 39 (1891) in Mathematische Annalen under the title "Von Bewegungen und Umlegungen, I. und II. Abhandlungen".

paragraph: Eduard Study cites William Kingdon Clifford as an earlier source on these biquaternions. In 1901 Study published "Geometrie der Dynamen" also using dual quaternions. In 1913 he wrote a review article treating both E(3) and elliptic geometry. This article, "Foundations and goals of analytical kinematics" develops the field of kinematics, in particular exhibiting an element of E(3) as a homography of dual quaternions.

paragraph: Study's use of abstract algebra was noted in "A History of Algebra" (1985) by B. L. van der Waerden. On the other hand, Joe Rooney recounts these developments in relation to kinematics.

paragraph: Section::::Hypercomplex numbers.

paragraph: Study showed an early interest in systems of complex numbers and their application to transformation groups with his article in 1890. He addressed this popular subject again in 1898 in "Klein's encyclopedia". The essay explored quaternions and other hypercomplex number systems. This 34 page article was expanded to 138 pages in 1908 by Élie Cartan, who surveyed the hypercomplex systems in "Encyclopédie des sciences mathématiques pures et appliqueés". Cartan acknowledged Eduard Study's guidance, in his title, with the words "after Eduard Study".

paragraph: In the 1993 biography of Cartan by Akivis and Rosenfeld, one reads:

paragraph: In 1985 Helmut Karzel and Günter Kist developed "Study's quaternions" as the kinematic algebra corresponding to the group of motions of the Euclidean plane. These quaternions arise in "Kinematic algebras and their geometries" alongside ordinary quaternions and the ring of 2 × 2 real matrices which Karzel and Kist cast as the kinematic algebras of the elliptic plane and hyperbolic plane respectively. See the "Motivation and Historical Review" at page 437 of "Rings and Geometry", R. Kaya editor.

paragraph: Some of the other hypercomplex systems that Study worked with are dual numbers, dual quaternions, and split-biquaternions, all being

paragraph: associative algebras over R.

paragraph: Section::::Ruled surfaces.

paragraph: Study's work with dual numbers and line coordinates was noted by Heinrich Guggenheimer in 1963 in his book "Differential Geometry" (see pages 162–5). He cites and proves the following theorem of Study: The oriented lines in R are in one-to-one correspondence with the points of the dual unit sphere in D. Later he says "A differentiable curve A("u") on the dual unit sphere, depending on a "real" parameter "u", represents a differentiable family of straight lines in R: a ruled surface. The lines A("u") are the "generators" or "rulings" of the surface." Guggenheimer also shows the representation of the Euclidean motions in R by orthogonal dual matrices.

paragraph: Section::::Hermitian form metric.

paragraph: In 1905 Study wrote "Kürzeste Wege im komplexen Gebiet" (Shortest paths in the complex domain) for Mathematische Annalen (60:321–378). Some of its contents were anticipated by Guido Fubini a year before. The distance Study refers to is a Hermitian form on complex projective space. Since then this metric has been called the Fubini–Study metric. Study was careful in 1905 to distinguish the hyperbolic and elliptic cases in Hermitian geometry.

paragraph: Section::::Valence theory.

paragraph: Somewhat surprisingly Eduard Study is known by practitioners of quantum chemistry. Like James Joseph Sylvester, Paul Gordan believed that invariant theory could contribute to the understanding of chemical valence. In 1900 Gordan and his student G. Alexejeff contributed an article on an analogy between the coupling problem for angular momenta and their work on invariant theory to the "Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie" (v. 35, p. 610). In 2006 Wormer and Paldus summarized Study's role as follows:

paragraph: Leonard Paul Blair

paragraph: Leonard Paul Blair (born April 12, 1949) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church serving as the thirteenth bishop and fifth and current archbishop of the Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut. He was installed as the Archbishop of Hartford on December 16, 2013.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Leonard Blair was born in Detroit, Michigan, and there studied at Sacred Heart Seminary, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in History. He then furthered his studies in Rome, where he earned a baccalaureate and licentiate in theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University, and a doctorate in theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas ("Angelicum").

paragraph: Blair was ordained to the priesthood on June 26, 1976, and then served as vicar general and chancellor of the Archdiocese of Detroit. He taught theology at Sacred Heart Seminary, where he was dean of studies as well. Blair was personal secretary to Edmund Cardinal Szoka and an official of the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See from 1994 to 1997, whence he was named pastor of St. Paul Church in Grosse Point Farms.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit.

paragraph: On July 8, 1999, Blair was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit and Titular Bishop of "Voncariana". He received his episcopal consecration on the following August 24 from Adam Cardinal Maida, with Cardinal Szoka and Bishop Dale Melczek serving as co-consecrators.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Bishop of Toledo.

paragraph: Blair was later appointed Bishop of Toledo, Ohio, on October 7, 2003. He was installed on December 4, 2003. In 2009, he delivered the findings of an initial doctrinal assessment report to the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) on the U.S. Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), which had been requested and begun in 2008; he issued a subsequent letter in 2010. In April 2012, the CDF issued a formal document ordering an up to five-year-long visitation of the Conference, to be chaired by Seattle's Archbishop J. Peter Sartain, with Bishop Blair and the Bishop of Springfield, Illinois, Thomas J. Paprocki, as members.

paragraph: In July 2011, Blair advised parishes and Catholic schools in the Diocese of Toledo against raising funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, citing concerns that funds contributed to the global anti-cancer foundation may go towards funding embryonic stem-cell research. Blair stated, "As best we can determine, at present the Komen Foundation does not fund cancer research that employs embryonic stem cells. However, their policy does not exclude that possibility. They are open to embryonic stem cell research, and may very well fund such research in the future." Bishop Blair's statement also made reference to Komen's relationship with Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the United States of America. Because of these factors, Bishop Blair, in conjunction with the Catholic bishops of Ohio, urged Catholic faithful, both corporate and individually, to consider alternate organizations when supporting anti-breast cancer research.

paragraph: Philipp Jakob Straub

paragraph: Philipp Jakob Straub (30 April 1706 (baptism) – 26 August 1774) was an Austrian sculptor from a well-known family of German Baroque sculptors. His father Johann George Straub and his brothers Johann Baptist, Joseph, and Johann Georg Straub were also sculptors, as was his nephew Franz Xaver Messerschmidt.

paragraph: Straub was born in Wiesensteig in Germany and studied in Munich, but he spent most of his career in Austria, first in Vienna, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, and then in Graz, where in 1730 he joined the workshop of the sculptor Johann Jakob Schoy (1686–1733).

paragraph: Sebastian Gryphius

paragraph: Sebastian Gryphius (; c. 1492, Reutlingen – 1556, Lyon) was a German bookseller-printer and humanist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was the son of Michael Greyff (Greif, Gryff, Gryph), and learned from him the new craft of printing, in Germany and then in Venice. Around 1520 he came to Lyon and settled there, on behalf of a Venetian firm of booksellers.

paragraph: Initially Gryphius mostly published works on law and administration, in Gothic script. He then moved to Latin classics. He also translated classical Greek authors into Latin. He published his contemporaries Erasmus, Guillaume Budé and Poliziano.

paragraph: In 1536 he went into business with Hugues de la Porte, who financed him in an independent venture. He founded "l'Atelier du Griffon", with a griffin mark. Around this time he introduced the Italic type of Aldus Manutius.

paragraph: In the 1540s he was the highly reputed 'Prince of the Lyon book trade'. He promoted the local humanist culture, and his books were prized for their clean lay-out and accuracy. The nineteenth-century scholar Henri Baudrier spoke of Sebastian Gryphius's printshop ("Atelier du Griffon") as a « société angélique pour les libres-penseurs ».

paragraph: His friends included André Alciat, Étienne Dolet, Guillaume Scève and Barthélémy Aneau, and they wrote highly of his work, even helping out in practical printing tasks. Their linguistic input was also of benefit to the works printed. Gryphius printed suspect texts and even sheltered authors in trouble for heretical writing. Étienne Dolet, an academic and satirical poet, came fresh from jail in Toulouse, and was burned as a heretic in 1546.

paragraph: From 1540, François Rabelais came to Gryphius to publish his translations of Hippocrates, Galen and Giovanni Mainardi.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: His brother Franz (François) was a printer in the "rue des Carmes" in Paris from 1532. Another brother, Johann (Jean), remained in Venice, also as a printer.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Odette Kahn

paragraph: Odette Kahn (1923–1982) was a leading authority on wine and editor of the "La Revue du vin de France" (Review of French wine) and of "Cuisine et Vins de France" (Food and Wines of France). She was a judge at the historic Paris Wine Tasting of 1976. Kahn was outraged at the results of the tasting, unsuccessfully demanded her ballot back, refused later to speak to organizer Steven Spurrier after the event, claimed fraud, and wrote disparagingly about the wine competition. This event was later portrayed in the movie "Bottle Shock".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Kahn was an expert in the field of French gastronomy and wines, for which she was a well-known ambassador throughout the world.

paragraph: After graduate studies in one of the best French business schools (HECJF), she became first the assistant director, and then the editor-in-chief of two magazines, “Cuisine et Vins de France” and “Revue du Vin de France”. In 1968, after the death of Madeleine Decure, co-founder with Edmond Saillant (aka Curnonsky) of “Cuisine et Vins de France”, Odette Kahn became director of Société française d’éditions vinicoles, the publisher of "Cuisine et Vins de France" and "Revue du Vin de France".

paragraph: She was a member of the International Academy of Wine, as well as forty wine and gastronomy fraternities throughout the world. She is the author of a cookbook published by Calmann-Lévy in 1977 under the title "La Petite et la Grande Cuisine". She also collaborated in the writing of several other books, including "Cuisine sans Souci" (1974) and "La Vraie Cuisine de l’Alsace" (1976).

paragraph: Until the early eighties, she was in charge of the national "Meilleur sommelier de France" competition and served as general secretary of the Association of women cooks and restaurant operators. Odette Kahn founded the "Amitiés Gastronomiques Internationales" association.

paragraph: She participated in numerous radio and television broadcasts, and was a member of the jury in some of the most renowned gastronomic contests. She received many awards, including the Chevalier du Mérite National, Chevalier du Mérite Agricole, and the City of Paris Medal.

paragraph: Bharatchandra Ray

paragraph: Bharatchandra Ray Gunakor (; 1712–1760) was an 18th-century Bengali and Sanskrit poet and song composer. He is mostly known for his poetic work, "Annadamangal" or "Annapurnamangal". He is often referred to simply as Bharatchandra. Maharaja Krishnachandra of Nadia conferred him with the title Gunakor, after which he became famous as Ray Gunakor Bharatchandra.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Bharatchandra was born to Narendranarayan Ray and Bhavani Devi in Penro-Bhurshut village (in the present-day Howrah district) which is currently near Amta, Howrah area. He was youngest of the four children. His father entered a property dispute with the Raja of Bardhaman, and in the process disrespected Raja Kirti Chandra Ray's mother Rani Bishnukumari. As a result, they took away all his lands. A penniless Narendranarayan fled away, while Bharatchandra was taken to his maternal uncle's home in Naoapara. While staying there he learned Sanskrit at the nearby village of Tajpur. When he was 14 he mastered the language and married the daughter of Narottam Acharya of nearby Sarada village.

paragraph: On returning home his elder brothers mocked him for learning Sanskrit as they thought the language would be of no use for them. Bharatchandra felt bad and left home for West Debanandpur, a village in Bashberia area of Hooghly district. There, while living in Ramchandra Munshi's house, he mastered Persian. After his education, he worked as a Mokhtar to facilitate his paternal household's property management. He had to leave his ancestral home because of property disputes and marriage of his own choice. He roamed from place to place. He passed some time in Cuttack, Orissa in the domain of the Maratha power. Later he went back to Bengal.

paragraph: Section::::Court poet of Maharaja Krishnachandra.

paragraph: When Bharatchandra was residing in the house of Indranarayan Chaudhury, the Diwan of the French government at Chandernagore, his talent was noticed by Maharaja Krishnachandra of Krishnanagar and Bharatchandra became his court poet. He was bestowed with the title Raygunakar and received huge amount of land in Mulajore from Krishnachandra. He was the first poet in the Bengali language to be identified as a people's poet, and lent a new grace and beauty to the language.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: The most notable work of Bharatchandra is "Annada Mangal" or "Annapurnamangal". This work, completed in 1752, is divided into three parts. The first part, which eulogises the goddess Annapurna is known as "Annadamangal". The second part, which narrates the story of Vidya and Sundar is known as "Kalikamangal" and the third and the final part, which narrates the story of Man Singh I and Bhavananda Majumdar is known as "Annapurnamangal". His another work, "Rasamanjari" is a Bengali-language adaptation of a Maithili work of the same name written by Bhanudatta. "Nagashtaka", a bi-lingual poetic work in Sanskrit and Bengali, shows his mastery over Sanskrit metres. His other notable works include: "Gangashtaka" in Sanskrit, "Satyanarayan Panchali" and an incomplete work, "Chandi Natak".

paragraph: Section::::Songs.

paragraph: Bharatchandra was the true representative of the transition of Bengali music from medieval to modern age. He was well versed in classical music, a skill he possibly acquired in the court of the Maharaja Krishnachandra. While he adopted the line of "mangalgan" (song of bliss) which was traditionally dedicated to the gods and goddesses, he attempted to liberate the poetical as well as musical compositions of Bengal from the hold of gods and goddesses and infused a human touch into them. Many of the songs he composed as part of long poetic works were on their own lyrical and could be sung independently. Bharatchandra may also be regarded as a pioneer in composing songs on Radha-Krishna love theme in raga musical form outside the area of "padavali kirtan". In a way he is considered the forerunner of Ramprasad Sen and Ramnidhi Gupta (popular as Nidhu Babu).

paragraph: Section::::Translations.

paragraph: Gerasim Lebedev translated a portion of Bharatchandra's "Annadamangal" into Russian. He also borrowed from the lyrics composed by Bharatchandra for the musical composition of the two translated plays he stage in Kolkata.

paragraph: Gregorio Lazzarini

paragraph: Gregorio Lazzarini (1657 – 10 November 1730) was an Italian painter of mythological, religious and historical subjects, as well as portraits. Best known for first training Giambattista Tiepolo, he was one of the most successful Venetian artists of the day and a prominent teacher. His own style was somewhat eclectic.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Venice, the son of a barber, he was the brother of the proficient painter, Elisabetta Lazzarini (1662–1729). He trained initially with the Genovese painter Francesco Rosa, then with Girolamo Forabosco, and lastly in the studio of Pietro della Vecchia. He joined the painters' guild in Venice in 1687. Active in Venice until at least 1715, he spent most of his life in the Venetian Republic.

paragraph: He was a prolific painter. Some of his works decorate the "Sala dello Scrutinio" of the Doge’s Palace in Venice. A group of his paintings are on view inside the "Sala San Tommaso" at the basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Among his major works is a canvas depicting the "Charity of San Lorenzo Giustiniani" for the Patriarcal house at San Pietro di Castello. His overtly academic style, which changed little during his career, combined the solidity of Emilian painting of the Baroque period with the rich colours of the Venetian school.

paragraph: One of the most successful Venetian artists of the day and father to a significant school of painting, he is best known for having first trained Giambattista Tiepolo, who joined his workshop in 1710 at the age of fourteen. He was reputed to be a patient teacher who imparted a broad knowledge of artistic styles for the portrayal of mythological and historical subjects; according to his contemporary biographer, Vincenzo da Canal, "the young who desired to get ahead in the pictorial arts chose Lazzarini as their master". Other pupils of Lazzarini included Gaspare Diziani and Bartolomeo Ignazio Capello.

paragraph: Lazzarini died on 10 November 1730 in Villabona Veronese (now Villa d'Adige in Badia Polesine), having moved there in September to stay with his brother, the local priest.

paragraph: After graduating from the Georgia College for Women in Milledgeville, Georgia, Dolvin taught primary school. In 1938, she married William Jasper Dolvin and moved to Roswell, Georgia. Her husband was an elementary school principal and insurance agent, and Dolvin Elementary School in Alpharetta, Georgia is his namesake.

paragraph: In 1951, Emily Dolvin participated in the organization of the Roswell Youth Recreation Committee. This committee created the Roswell Recreation and Parks department. She was also the inaugural chairperson of the Roswell Historical Society upon its establishment on October 28, 1971. The Roswell Rotary Club named her a William Watt Fellow, and she was the first female member of that organization.

paragraph: In 1966, Dolvin became involved in the support of the political career of her nephew Jimmy and was often referred to as Jimmy Carter's Aunt Sissy. In 1970, she was a staff member, host, and delegate for the Georgia Democratic Party, and she was the inauguration reception chairman for Carter's inauguration as governor of Georgia in 1971, and served as the volunteer coordinator for Carter’s gubernatorial campaigns. Dolvin also served as a member of the Commission on the Status of Women from August 11, 1972 to April 1, 1974.

paragraph: During Carter's 1976 presidential campaign, Dolvin campaigned throughout the United States as one of many volunteers that comprised the grass roots Peanut Brigade. However, she was not an official member of the Peanut Brigade. She was campaigning as a member of the family. The Peanut Brigade was a different organization altogether. In 1976, "Time" magazine referred to her as a “tiny, stylishly dressed, white-haired dynamo” and the secret weapon of Carter’s campaign. Dolvin served as the coordinator of docents for the Carter Center from its inception in 1986.

paragraph: Dolvin’s personal home, the W.J. Dolvin house, is located next to Bulloch Hall in the Historic District of Roswell and is often referred to as “President Jimmy Carter’s Roswell White House”. It is one of the few examples of late-Victorian architecture in that city.

paragraph: An elder of the Roswell Presbyterian Church, Dolvin also founded the Refuge Resettlement Ministry. In 1992, Dolvin married a second time to Hubert “Hu” B. Visscher, but never legally took his name. She was named to the list of Roswell’s 15 Most Remarkable Citizens in 2004. Dolvin died at age 94 of congestive heart failure at her Roswell home on December 2, 2006.
