paragraph: Sam Steele

paragraph: Major General Sir Samuel Benfield Steele (5 January 1849 – 30 January 1919) was a distinguished Canadian soldier and police official. He was an officer of the North-West Mounted Police, most famously as head of the Yukon detachment during the Klondike Gold Rush, and commanding officer of Strathcona's Horse during the Boer War.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born into a military family at Medonte Township, Upper Canada (now Ontario), he was the son of Royal Navy Captain The Hon. Elmes Yelverton Steele, a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, and one of six brothers to have served in the British Armed Forces. His mother (the second wife of his father), Anne Macdonald, was the youngest daughter of Neil Maclain MacDonald of Ardnamurchan, a native of Islay. Neil MacDonald was a grandson of Captain Godfrey MacNeil of Barra, and a nephew of Colonel Donald MacNeil. Sam Steele was named for his father's uncle, Colonel Samuel Steele, who served in Quebec under Lord Amherst. Sam Steele received his education at the family home, Purbrook, and then at the Royal Military College of Canada. By the age of thirteen he was orphaned, and went to live with his elder half-brother, John Steele.

paragraph: Section::::Early military career.

paragraph: Following his family's military tradition, in 1866 Steele joined the military during the Fenian raids. Steele also participated in the Red River Expedition in 1870 to fight the Red River Rebellion of Louis Riel. Much to his disappointment, he arrived after the Métis had surrendered. The following year he joined the Permanent Force artillery, Canada's first regular army unit. Steele had long been fascinated by the West, devouring the works of James Fenimore Cooper in his youth. He was especially interested in the First Nations, and spent his time in the West learning from them and the Métis. However, he was assigned to Fort Henry in Kingston, Ontario, for the next few years, as an instructor at the Artillery School. In 1874, Steele was initiated as a Freemason in the Lisgar Lodge No. 2, in Selkirk, Manitoba.

paragraph: Section::::Life as a Mountie.

paragraph: In 1873, Steele was the third officer sworn into the newly formed North-West Mounted Police (NWMP), entering as a staff constable. He was one of the officers to lead the new recruits of the NWMP on the 1874 March West, when he returned to Fort Garry, present-day Winnipeg, Manitoba. To him fell the rank of staff sergeant major and the responsibility—as an accomplished horseman and man-at-arms—of drilling the new recruits. In 1878, Steele was given his own command at Fort Qu'Appelle, North-West Territories.

paragraph: In 1877, he was assigned to meet with Sitting Bull, who, having defeated Lieutenant-Colonel George Custer at the Little Bighorn, had moved with his people into Canada to escape American vengeance. Steele along with U.S. Army General Alfred Howe Terry attempted unsuccessfully to persuade Sitting Bull to return to the United States. (Most of the Sioux did return a few years later.)

paragraph: During the North-West Rebellion Steele was dispatched with a small force. Missing the Battle of Batoche the Mounties were sent to move against the last rebel force led by Big Bear. He was present at the Battle of Frenchman's Butte, where Big Bear's warriors defeated the Canadian forces under General Thomas Bland Strange. Two weeks later, Steele and his two dozen Mounties defeated Big Bear's force at Loon Lake, District of Saskatchewan, in the last battle fought on Canadian territory. The contributions of the NWMP in putting down the rebellion went largely ignored and unrewarded, to Steele's great annoyance. By 1885, Steele held the rank of superintendent. He established an NWMP station in the town of Galbraiths Ferry, which was later named to Fort Steele in British Columbia, after Steele solved a murder in the town. He then moved on to Fort Macleod, District of Alberta, in 1888.

paragraph: In 1889, at Fort Macleod, he met Marie-Elizabeth de Lotbinière-Harwood (1859–1951), daughter of Robert William Harwood. They were married at Vaudreuil, Quebec, in 1890. They had three children, including Harwood Steele, who fictionalized episodes from his father's life in novels such as "Spirit-of-Iron" (1929).

paragraph: The discovery of gold in the Klondike in the late 1890s presented Steele with a new challenge. Although he campaigned unsuccessfully for the position of assistant commissioner in 1892, in January 1898 he was sent to succeed Charles Constantine as commissioner and to establish customs posts at the head of the White and Chilkoot Passes, and at Lake Bennett. He was noted for his hard line with the hundreds of unruly and independent-minded prospectors, many of them American. To help control the situation, he established the rule that no one would be allowed to enter the Yukon without a ton of goods to support themselves, thus preventing the entry of desperate and potentially unruly speculators and adventurers.

paragraph: Steele and his force made the Klondike Gold Rush one of the most orderly of its kind in history and made the NWMP famous around the world, which ensured its survival at a critical time when the force's dissolution was being debated in Parliament. By July 1898, Steele commanded all the NWMP in the Yukon area, and was a member of the territorial council. As the force reported directly to Ottawa, Steele had almost free rein to run things as he chose, always with an eye towards maintaining law, order and Canadian sovereignty. He moved to Dawson City in September 1898.

paragraph: Section::::Boer War and second military career.

paragraph: Always a soldier, in early 1900 Steele leapt at the offer of Canadian Pacific Railway tycoon Donald Smith, Baron Strathcona to be the first commanding officer of Smith's privately raised cavalry unit, Strathcona's Horse, with the appointment as lieutenant-colonel from 7 March 1900. This Canadian light cavalry unit, in British Imperial service, was sent to South Africa during the Second Boer War, where Steele commanded them with distinction in the role of reconnaissance scouts. Steele, however, apparently disliked greatly what he was ordered to do by the British, which included burning towns, farms and homesteads, killing livestock of the Boer families and moving the populace to concentration camps. After the war, the regiment arrived in London in February 1901. Here they met Lord Strathcona for the first time and were presented with medals by King Edward VII during a visit to Buckingham Palace. Steele was also appointed a Member of the Royal Victorian Order (fourth class) (MVO), a personal gift from the King. On its return to Canada the regiment was disbanded, and the officers received honorary promotions. Steele was promoted to honorary lieutenant-colonel in March 1901.

paragraph: After taking the unit back to Canada early in 1901, Steele returned to South Africa that same year to command 'B' Division of the South African Constabulary, a position he held until 1906. On his return to Canada in 1907, Steele assumed command of Military Division No. 13 in Alberta and the District of Mackenzie, and then in 1910 assumed command of Division No. 10 at Winnipeg, where he spent his time regrouping Lord Strathcona's Horse and in preparing his memoirs.

paragraph: Steele requested active military duty upon the outbreak of the First World War. He was initially rejected for command on the grounds of age. However, a compromise was reached which allowed him to act as commander of the 2nd Canadian Division until the unit was sent to France, whereupon he would be replaced. After accompanying the division to England, Steele was offered an administrative post as commanding officer of the South-East District.

paragraph: Matters were complicated, however, when Canadian Minister of Defence Samuel Hughes insisted that Steele also be made commander of all Canadian troops in Europe—a slight problem, as there were two brigadiers-general who each believed the Canadian command was theirs. The issue was not resolved until 1916, when the new Minister of Overseas Military Forces of Canada, Sir G. H. Perley, removed Steele from his Canadian command after Steele refused to return to Canada as a recruiter. He kept his British command until his retirement on 15 July 1918. While in Britain, Steele was knighted, on 1 January 1918, and was made a Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, and Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. Steele died during the 1918 flu pandemic just after his 70th birthday and was later buried in Winnipeg.

paragraph: Canada's fifth-tallest mountain, Mount Steele, is named after him.

paragraph: CFB Edmonton, the home of Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) is now called Steele Barracks after Major General Steele.

paragraph: Section::::Personal papers.

paragraph: On 19 June 2008, Steele's wealth of personal papers and writings were repatriated to Canada in a ceremony in Trafalgar Square in London, England, headed by the Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

paragraph: Steele's papers, believed by historians to contain a wealth of heretofore untold stories that would "re-write Canadian history" had been held by British descendants of Steele, and were returned to Canada via a C$1.8MM purchase by the University of Alberta.

paragraph: Section::::Fictional references.

paragraph: Hector Adair, a character in the novel "Spirit-of-Iron" (1923), written by Steele's son, Harwood Steele, is thought to have been modelled on the famous Mountie. The novel includes a foreword in which the author writes: "Hector Adair is intended to represent the ideal Mounted Police officer in particular and the British officer generally. He is not to be identified with any historical figure connected with the Force."

paragraph: Players meet Sam Steele in the 1994 computer simulation game "The Yukon Trail".

paragraph: In James Michener's "Alaska", "Major Sam Steele" is the face of the NWMP. Michener acknowledges him as a historical figure in the notes at the start of the book, but the veracity of his claimed actions is unknown.

paragraph: Steele is also portrayed, along with Jack London, in Don Rosa's Walt Disney comic book "Hearts of the Yukon", episode 8C from "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck".

paragraph: Lorne Greene portrayed Steele in the 1980 film "Klondike Fever".

paragraph: In the "Due South" episode "" from 1995, Fraser references Sam Steele as having been very proud of never firing his weapon while patrolling the Northwest Territories.

paragraph: In several of the short stories James B. Hendryx wrote about the Yukon Gold Rush, Sam Steele is in the background. Usually Steele is investigating a crime. ("Left Handed Justice", "Short Stories" January 1950 issue)

paragraph: He was featured in "The Klondike Mice" episode of "The Country Mouse and the City Mouse Adventures" in 1998.

paragraph: Steele appears in "Murdoch of the Klondike", a 2012 episode of Canadian historical crime drama "Murdoch Mysteries", portrayed by Matt Cooke.

paragraph: Steele appears in the Discovery Channel miniseries "Klondike", portrayed by Marton Csokas. He is never referred to by name in the miniseries and only known as "the Superintendent".

paragraph: Steele is portrayed by Steve Wall in the TG4 series "An Klondike", which depicts him the fictional town of Dominion Creek and being in a relationship with Kate Mulryan, a fictional Irish saloon singer.

paragraph: Víctor Trujillo

paragraph: Víctor Alberto Trujillo Matamoros (born July 30, 1961) is a Mexican host, comedian, political commentator and journalist. He is best known for his character "Brozo el Payaso Tenebroso" (Brozo the Creepy Clown), a green-haired, unkempt, obscene and aggressive clown (an anti-clown).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Trujillo was born in Mexico City. In 1987, after appearing in an Imevisión variety show called "En tienda y trastienda" ("Front and Back of House"), Trujillo created a new program called "La caravana" ("The Caravan"), alongside his "Tienda y trastienda" partner Ausencio Cruz. "La caravana" was a successful show with skits played by characters created by Trujillo and Cruz, with a comedy style calling back to the era of carpas. It featured characters such as "Estetoscopio Medina Cháirez", played by Trujillo, representing a low-class Mexican guy with a funny accent, who spoke ironically of the way of life of the poor. "La caravana" also marked the first on-air appearance of "Brozo", where he told heavily modified fairy tales in front of the camera; the modifications reflected the realities of crime and poverty in the Mexican ghetto. The success of the two programs brought advertising revenues to Imevisión, which by the early 1990s was airing steadily more foreign productions. Trujillo later had a nighttime program as another character, "La Beba Galván", this time without Cruz.

paragraph: Trujillo continued with TV Azteca, Imevisión's successor, hosting programs including "El Diario de la Noche" until 2000. That year, he brought his act to Canal 40, where "Brozo" was host of his own news program called "El Mañanero" as an anchorman and political commentator. An obvious intelligent man behind the make-up of a clown, Victor Trujillo could criticize freely and poignantly the actors of the political scene (not very reputed among the general public), and soon his program received high ratings and featured high-profile politicians; it also began being simulcast on some Grupo ACIR radio stations.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Career at Televisa.

paragraph: In 2001, after 16 months, Trujillo left Canal 40 in order to sign a contract with Televisa and move his program there, which he said would allow him to take on a wider variety of projects. For instance, he appeared on programs surrounding the 2002 FIFA World Cup and hosted a season of Big Brother México.

paragraph: Brozo played an important role in the most damaging of the videoscandals that affected Mexico City mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador. On "El Mañanero", a video given to Trujillo by then-ALDF deputy Federico Döring Casar was publicly played, showing René Bejarano filling a briefcase with dollars given by entrepreneur Carlos Ahumada; this was followed immediately by a studio interview with an unsuspecting Bejarano, who saw the video for the first time on the spot. Trujillo would later be called on to testify in the criminal case that resulted.

paragraph: After the 2004 death of Carolina Padilla (both his wife and his program's producer) due to a brain hemorrhage suffered the year before, Trujillo cancelled "El Mañanero", stating that he was putting Brozo "in the freezer". Some time later, he started a new, similar show called "El cristal con que se mira" ("The Looking Glass"), this time as himself. In 2005, Trujillo caused the downfall of PRI presidential precandidate Arturo Montiel, when he announced as confirmed a current inquiry on Montiel's family and personal fortune. This inquiry was later denied by the government, but the damage was done, and Montiel quit the presidential race a few days later.

paragraph: After "El Cristal", along with "El Circo de Brozo"—a program that marked the return of the Brozo character—were cancelled in 2006, Trujillo (as "Brozo") had another nighttime show called "El NotiFiero". In 2010, however, "El Mañanero" returned to the air, this time on Televisa's news channel FOROtv. It left the air in 2016 as part of a larger reorganization of Televisa's news output and to make way for a new weekly program on Canal 2.

paragraph: Section::::Dubbing and voiceovers.

paragraph: Trujillo has lent his voice to a variety of animated and other series, as well as Spanish-language dubs for the Mexican market. Among his more notable roles in this capacity have been Lion-O in "ThunderCats", James Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", Sulley in "Monsters, Inc." and "Monsters University" and Shere Khan in the Mexican release of "The Jungle Book".

paragraph: Section::::Other works.

paragraph: In 2006, Trujillo released "Cuentos Tenebrozos", a collection of "true" short stories.

paragraph: Andronikos II of Trebizond

paragraph: Andronikos II Megas Komnenos or Andronicus II (), (c. 1240 – 1266) was the Emperor of Trebizond from 1263 to 1266. Despite being the designated successor of his father Manuel Komnenos, Andronikos' tenure was short due to premature death from unrecorded causes. The major event of his reign was the definitive loss of Sinope to the Seljuk Turks under the regency of Mu‘in al-Din Suleyman, also known as the Pervane, in the summer or fall of 1265. The capture of Sinope by the Turks gave them the best port on the Black Sea, allowing them to create a navy and compete with the Trapezuntines for influence in the Black Sea.

paragraph: Andronikos was the eldest son of Manuel Komnenos by his first wife, Anna Xylaloe, a Trapezuntine noblewoman. According to the chronicler Michael Panaretos, "And so, his son by lady Anna Xylaloe, the lord Andronikos II Komnenos, whom Manuel had urged and selected to take the throne, became emperor and reigned for three years. And he died in 1265/1266." In his list of the Emperors before Alexios II, Constantine Loukites fails to mention Andronikos. N. Oikonomides speculates that Loukites omitted Andronikos from his list because the Emperor was excluded from the official gallery of Emperors of Trebizond.

paragraph: Little more is known of his brief reign. Trebizond continued to flourish as a trading center — two merchants from Marseilles were there in 1263 and 1264 carrying a letter of introduction from Charles of Anjou, Count of Provence.

He was the elder son of Emperor Manuel I and his third wife, Irene Syrikaina, a Trapezuntine noblewoman. He succeeded his half-brother Andronikos in 1266 and ruled for 14 years.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: The details of the internal affairs of his reign are sparse. Beyond the length of his reign, all Michael Panaretos relates explicitly about George is the cryptic statement that he "was treacherously betrayed by his officials on the mountain of Taurezion and taken captive in June [of 1280]". Although three different Armenian chronicles state he was killed by Abaqa Khan of the Ilkhan, along with the atabeg of Lori, he was very much alive in 1284 when he returned to Trebizond and attempted to recover his throne during the reign of his brother John II, when Panaretos states he was known as "the Wanderer".

paragraph: Michel Kuršanskis has pointed out that his father's embassy in 1253 to King Louis IX of France, who was then at Sidon, seeking to marry a daughter of his house was the act of a widower. Kuršanskis then convincingly argues that Manuel's marriage to Irene Syrikaina occurred after that year, which means George was no older—and likely several years younger—than 13 at the time of his coronation. So for the first several years of his reign he relied on a regent to govern the Empire.

paragraph: The details of the foreign affairs of his reign are relatively more abundant. One factor was that his rival for the claim to the throne of the Byzantine Empire, Michael VIII Palaiologos, had agreed to unify the Orthodox and Catholic Churches, and an agreement was signed at the Second Council of Lyons in 1274; as a result George was increasingly seen as the champion of the anti-Unionist faction. George found himself directly threatened by Mu‘in al-Din Suleyman who controlled Sinope to the west and the Georgian state of Samtzkhe-Meschla to the east; Imereti was also a potential threat, and its ruler, David the Clever had married one of Michael's daughters in 1267. Michael had also married another daughter to Abaqa Khan of the Ilkhan. Consequently, George was forced into negotiations with Michael Palaiologos' enemies. As early as 1266-7 Charles of Anjou, King of Naples, wrote to George; George's response is not known. The protonotary Ogerius reported to Pope Nicholas III that George was upsetting the Union of Churches that Michael Palaiologos promoted. "It was not so much that Charles of Anjou had a quixotically loyal ally in Trebizond," writes Anthony Bryer, "as that while Michael was forcing his subjects into the union, George was pushed by anti-Unionist refugees from Constantinople into posing as champion of Orthodoxy and into seeking to replace the 'heretical' Michael as emperor in Constantinople."

paragraph: The Annals of Bishop Stephen state that George had an unnamed daughter, who married a Georgian nobleman. Another possible daughter (or sister) married King Demetre II of Georgia.

paragraph: Section::::The betrayal at Taurezion.

paragraph: The cryptic note that George was betrayed on the mountain of Taurezion has baffled scholars about both the location and the exact event. No other text directly mentions "the mountain of Taurezion". There have been several suggested explanations, starting with the Taurus Mountains, one of several locations to the south of Trebizond, and a Taroutza in eastern Anatolia. Bryer discusses these possibilities before pointing out the weaknesses in their identification, and arguing that by "Taurezion" Panaretos meant Tabriz, which was known in a form at the time similar to "Taurezion": spellings include the Armenian "T'awrez" or "Davrez"; Marco Polo called it "Tauris", and a Syrian bishop of "Taurezium" is mentioned in 1277.

paragraph: As for how George was betrayed, there are at least two differing suggestions. On the one hand, George Finlay and William Miller have interpreted this as meaning that he was captured in battle, which has been followed by other historians. On the other hand, Anthony Bryer has published an article in the "Byzantinische Zeitschrift" arguing that this passage should be interpreted as saying that George was betrayed to Agaba Khan by his "archontes" on a mountain near Tabriz, where Agaba was residing in summer of 1280. Scholars, such as Michel Kuršanskis, have accepted Bryer's interpretation.

paragraph: A third researcher, Ahmet Zehiroglu, has suggested George was trapped as a result of the Byzantine conspiracy and taken prisoner along with his mother by Abaqa Khan, on Dersim Mountains and in the summer of 1280.

paragraph: Bryer further points out that there are signs George never fully assumed the title of Emperor ("basileus"), where there is evidence that his father Manuel had before him, and his brother John after him. No silver coinage was struck in his name—although a surprisingly large amount (over 200 dies) was struck in his father's; Bryer suggests some of it was issued by George in his father's name. Only one of his copper coin issues does he bear the epithet of "Grand Komnenos", while in another he is described as "Despot" ("despotes"), a title subsidiary to Emperor. Further, he is the only ruler of Trebizond that Panaretos, in his chronicle, fails to call "Grand Komnenos", and does not refer to his mother Irene Syrikaina as ""despoina"". "It is possible that Abaga refused to recognize him as Grand Komnenos," Bryer writes, "hence the subsidiary title of Despot on one of his coin types, his failure to coin silver aspers and Panaretos' reticence in according him any title."

paragraph: Having made his argument, Bryer then speculates on George's last documented years. Bryer points out that it was not an impostor who appeared in Trebizond in 1284, for "it is unlikely that John II would have failed to recognize his half-brother". Instead Bryer suggests that for various reasons Abaga spared George and imprisoned him, and on Abaga's death on 1 April 1282, George was released. Then "he went to his son-in-law Dmitri II of Kartili and from Georgia launched an attack on Trebizond in 1284", only to be rejected by the same people who betrayed him four years earlier.

Meishō would be succeeded by two of her father's sons by other mothers. These Imperial princes would become known as Emperor Go-Kōmyō and Emperor Go-Sai. Both had been brought up by Masako as if they were her own sons.

paragraph: Section::::Achievements.

paragraph: She used her wealth to bring together Edo and Kyoto and also to help maintain the high standards of the court. She also used it to restore significant buildings that had been damaged in the previous years of warring. Many of these restorations were originally credited to her brother Iemitsu, or her husband, but have recently been properly credited to her. Another important way she used her money is as a representation of the Tokugawa clan.

paragraph: Clint Lorance

paragraph: Clint Allen Lorance is a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army who in August 2013 was found guilty on two counts of second-degree murder for ordering soldiers in his platoon to open fire at three men on a motorcycle in southern Afghanistan in July 2012. He is confined in the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

paragraph: Section::::Court-martial proceedings.

paragraph: At his trial in August 2013, nine members of his platoon testified against him. Lorance never testified in the court hearings, though he did take responsibility for his men's actions. Three men on a motorcycle were speeding towards the platoon and ignoring commands to stop. His soldiers testified that the platoon was walking through a field of grapes on patrol when a motorcycle was spotted approximately 600 feet away, and that the motorcycle could not have reached the platoon's position in the grape field. Attorneys for Lorance attempted to cast doubt on four of the soldiers' accounts, arguing that they were granted immunity in exchange for their testimony. The other five soldiers who testified against Lorance did not receive immunity. At the end of a three-day trial, Lorance was found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and other charges "related to a pattern of threatening and intimidating actions toward Afghans" as the platoon's leader. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, forfeiture of all pay, and dismissal from the Army.

paragraph: In December 2014, an attorney for Lorance filed pleadings alleging that Lorance was the victim of prosecutorial misconduct. In January 2015, supporters created a petition on the White House website asking the Obama administration to grant a Presidential pardon to Lorance. It received 124,966 signatures. The White House declined to comment on the specifics, saying instead that requests for executive clemency for federal offenses should be directed to the Office of the Pardon Attorney.

paragraph: On January 5, 2015, the Commanding General of the 82nd Airborne Division, Major General Richard Clarke, completed a review and upheld Lorance's conviction. General Clarke upheld the guilty verdict from the court-martial panel and directed one year off the original sentence of 20 years confinement due to post-trial delay. In September 2015, defense attorneys filed a petition with the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals for a new trial, claiming that evidence linking the two killed Afghans to terror networks was left out of Lorance's court-martial, but the court ruled in June 2017 that the evidence would not have been permitted at trial, and even if it had, it would not have helped Lorance's case.

paragraph: One of Lorance's defense attorneys at the court-martial, lawyer and author Don Brown, published a book in 2019 entitled Travesty of Justice, in which he argued that the Army did not permit the jury consider evidence showing that Afghan National Army soldiers accompanying Lorance's patrol began firing at the motorcycle first, and kept biometrics evidence from the jury suggesting the motorcycle riders were Taliban bombmakers.. Brown has urged President Donald Trump to release Lorance from prison and return him to active duty in the Army.

paragraph: Lorance is confined in the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

paragraph: Section::::See also.

paragraph: Arthur W. Walker

paragraph: Major Arthur Walker HCG and bar SM (February 1953 – 28 March 2016) was a South African Air Force helicopter pilot who was twice awarded the Honoris Crux Gold decoration during the South African Border War. The Honoris Crux Gold was the highest military award for bravery awarded to members of the South African Defence Force.

paragraph: He matriculated from King Edward VII School in Johannesburg and went to the Army in 1971.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Walker was born in February 1953 in Johannesburg. His grandfather, Arthur Walker I, founded Walkerville, Gauteng and his father, Arthur Walker II, was a Springbok golfer.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: He obtained his pilot's wings in 1977 and flew for 7 Squadron, Rhodesian Air Force, before re-joining the South African Air Force in 1980.

paragraph: While flying Alouette III helicopters based at AFB Ondangwa in 1981 he was awarded the Honoris Crux Gold for risking his life during a night operation in Angola, by turning on the lights of his helicopter to draw enemy fire away from another helicopter.

paragraph: The citation for the Honoris Crux Gold reads:

paragraph: During January 1981, two Alouettes, with Lieutenant Walker as flight leader, carried out close air support operations resulting in the Alouettes coming under intense enemy artillery and anti-aircraft fire. He only withdrew when ordered to do so. Later Lieutenant Walker returned to the contact area to provide top cover for a Puma helicopter assigned to casualty evacuation. Again he was subject to heavy enemy anti-aircraft fire. During the withdrawal, the second helicopter developed difficulties and called for assistance. Yet again Captain Walker returned to provide top cover, drawing virtually all the anti-aircraft fire to his Alouette. His courageous act prevented the loss of an Alouette and crew.

paragraph: Lieutenant Walker's actions were not only an outstanding display of professionalism, devotion to duty and courage, but also constitutes exceptional deeds of bravery under enemy fire and makes him a worthy recipient of the Honoris Crux Gold.

paragraph: In December 1981 he was cited for landing in enemy territory to search for and rescue the crew of a helicopter that had been shot down.

paragraph: The citation for the Bar to his Honoris Crux Gold reads:

paragraph: During December 1981 Captain Walker was again requested to provide top cover for the evacuation of a seriously wounded soldier. On take-off with the evacuee his number two helicopter was hit and crash-landed. Without hesitation and with total disregard for his personal safety, Captain Walker landed near the wrecked helicopter and immediately searched for the crew. Eventually, the situation became suicidal, compelling Captain Walker and his crew to withdraw. When he was airborne he spotted the missing crew and yet again, without hesitation and despite the fact that virtually all enemy fire was now [aimed] in his direction, he landed and lifted the crew to safety.

paragraph: Through this courageous deed he prevented the loss of two men.

paragraph: Vandorn Hinnant

paragraph: Vandorn Hinnant (born 1953) is a visual artist, poet and educator based in Durham, North Carolina.

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

paragraph: Hinnant grew up in Old Asheboro neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina. Hinnant received a Bachelor of Art's degree from North Carolina A&T University and attended at UNC Greensboro to study visual art. After college he moved to New York City and worked for the printmaker Josef Werner.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1988 Hinnant exhibited work based on the 13th century Fibonacci numbers and Lucas Pacioli's treatise. He began studying Sacred Geometry formally in 1989 with his mentor, inventor and physicist Robert L. Powell, Sr. In the 1980s Hinnant introduced fractal mathematics, the Golden Ratio, the Logarithmic Spiral, Sacred Geometery and most currently STEAM concepts into his work to explore metaphysical ideas. The ancient architectures in Egypt, India, Rome and Greece that use these concepts were his original influences, unpacking "pre-material template of energies," he said. Hinnant also has referenced Buckminster Fuller, Leonardo da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright and M.C. Escher as inspirations because of their use of geometry and math in making their artworks. Part of his objective is to catalyze dialogue through and around his work, connect these concepts to human relationships and encouraging education around the golden proportion.

paragraph: In 1991 Hinnant was a founding member of the African American Atelier in Greensboro, of which he was a member of its first board. In 1999 he was a featured artist in Round 10 of Project Row Houses. His work was on display at Fayetteville Museum of Art in 1998 and 2006. In 2009 his work was in a two-person show with John Hiigli about math and structure. In 2011 Hinnant's work was included in an exhibition about mathematics through art at Antioch College. This exhibition also included work by Sol LeWitt, Karen Finley, DJ Spooky, Dread Scott, and John Sims.

paragraph: In 2014 Hinnant's work was included in an exhibition about the golden ratio at the Saugerties Performing Arts Factory in New York. His work was also in an exhibition at The National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African American Culture at Alabama State University. His work was included in the Museum of the Golden Ratio, a virtual museum of artworks. In 2015 there was a survey of Hinnant's work at North Carolina Central University Art Museum, the Winston-Salem State University and the Cameron Museum of Art in Wilmington, NC. In his exhibit at Winston-Salem State University's Diggs Gallery included a tribute installation called "Inquiries and Destinations: A Sound Room for Terry Adkins", inspired and dedicated by the late artist.

paragraph: In 2016 over forty of Hinnant's works, spanning 35 years, were featured at the Rosenthal Gallery at Fayetteville State University. His work was also included in an exhibition called African American Abstraction at City Gallery East in Atlanta that same year.

paragraph: In 2017 Hinnant created two-story public sculpture, called "Monument to Leadership", for Fayetteville State University's 150 year anniversary. The piece represented the pioneering vision of the school.

paragraph: He was commissioned in 2018 by the city of Greensboro to design an artwork on the Bragg Street Downtown Greenway.

paragraph: Hinnant's work is in public collections at the Atlanta International Airport, Wachovia Bank, Capital Broadcasting Company in Raleigh, NationsBank in Charlotte, Miller Brewing Company, Duke University Medical Center, Phizer Pharmaceuticals, Brandywine Workshop Collection and the Cumberland County Public Library among others. His work is also featured at the Piedmont Triad International Airport. Hinnant was a 1994 recipient of the North Carolina Artist Fellowship.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Mandalas.

paragraph: Many of Hinnant's works explore mandalas, a visual spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. He uses circles, lines, angles, polyhedrons and color and tint to explore mandalas in his drawings, paintings and sculpture which are often installed together.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Together We Rise".

paragraph: Hinnant's city-commissioned eleven-foot sculpture called "Together We Rise" was installed in Corpening Plaza, Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 2014. He used geometry as a metaphor for the collaboration and harmony of the two different cities. The piece is stacked isosceles triangles made of stainless steel and commemorates the 100th anniversary of the two communities of Winston and Salem uniting in 1913. The surfaces of the triangles include text and images such as quotes by Maya Angelou and Margaret Mead and women activists who supported racial equality during the late 1800s, that helped to unpack its conceptual themes.

paragraph: Jourdan Lewis

paragraph: Jourdan Julian Lewis (born August 31, 1995) is an American football cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Michigan, where he was named First-Team All-American and First-Team All-Big Ten in 2015 and 2016. Lewis was drafted by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Lewis was raised in Detroit, where he attended and played high school football at Cass Technical High School. As a junior, he tallied eight interceptions and 11 touchdowns. As a senior, he had 751 receiving yards, six touchdowns and 742 return yards with three touchdowns on special teams.

paragraph: He and Delano Hill anchored the Cass Technical defensive backfield that won back-to-back (2011 and 2012) Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 championships for coach Thomas Wilcher.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Lewis accepted a football scholarship from the University of Michigan. As a freshman he appeared in 13 games, registering 17 tackles and two passes defensed.

paragraph: As a sophomore, he appeared in 12 games (seven starts), collecting 39 tackles, 28 solo tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions and six passes defensed. He was named a starter in the third game of the season.

paragraph: As a junior, he started 13 games, posting 52 tackles (3.5 for loss), two interceptions and 20 passes defensed (ranked third in the FBS). He also averaged 25.2 yards on kickoff returns.

paragraph: As a senior, he missed the first 3 games with injuries to his back, hamstring and quad. Through the first 10 games of the 2015 season, Lewis had 20 pass breakups, which set a new school record. He ranked second among all players in the NCAA Division I FBS with 21 passes defended. Lewis set a single-season school record with 21 pass breakups in 2015, surpassing the previous record of 18 held by Marlin Jackson (2002) and Leon Hall (2006). Following the 2015 season, Lewis was named to the All-Big Ten defensive first-team, by both the media and coaches. He was also named a First-Team All-American by "USA Today", and "Sports Illustrated", becoming the first Wolverine to earn the honor since Taylor Lewan in 2013, and the first Wolverine defensive back to earn the honor since Leon Hall in 2006.

paragraph: During the 2016 season, Lewis was targeted 31 times, allowing 74 yards, with 14 total yards after catch and 0.36 yards per snap in coverage. Lewis has contributed 23 tackles, 3.5 tackles-for-loss, two interceptions and 12 pass breakups this season. Following the 2016 season, Lewis was named the Tatum–Woodson Defensive Back of the Year, and was once again named to the All-Big Ten defensive first-team, by both the media and coaches. He was also named a first-team All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, "Associated Press", "Sporting News", and "Sports Illustrated".

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: On January 10, 2017, it was reported that Lewis and teammates Chris Wormley and Ben Gedeon had all accepted their invitations to attend the 2017 Senior Bowl. On January 28, 2017, he recorded four combined tackles and displayed impressive coverage under Chicago Bears' head coach John Fox as a part of the North team who lost 16-15 to the South. As a top ten cornerback prospect, Lewis was invited to the NFL combine. He attended and performed the majority of drills, but opted to skip the short shuttle and three-cone drill. On March 18, he opted to participate at Michigan's Pro Day. Lewis chose to run his 40-yard dash (4.47), 20-yard dash (2.51), 10-yard dash (1.59), short shuttle (4.38), and three-cone drill (6.88) for representatives and scouts from all 32 NFL teams. On March 25, Lewis' girlfriend accused him of dragging her across the floor and placing his hands around her neck, although Lewis rebuffed the account claiming he didn't touch her. He pleaded not guilty and this was expected to affect his draft stock. Lewis' draft projections varied from as high as the second or third round to as low as the sixth or seventh round, mainly due to his misdemeanor domestic violence charges. He was ranked the sixth cornerback in the draft by NFL analyst Mel Kiper Jr. and the tenth best cornerback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:2017.

paragraph: Lewis was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round (92nd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. He was the 14th cornerback selected in 2017. On June 28, the Dallas Cowboys signed Lewis to a four-year, $3.24 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $753,428.

paragraph: He was expected to compete with Orlando Scandrick, Chidobe Awuzie, Anthony Brown, and Nolan Carroll for a job as the starting cornerback, but suffered a hamstring injury during in his first training camp practice and missed all of the preseason.

paragraph: On September 17, Lewis made his professional regular season debut against the Denver Broncos after being a healthy scratch for their season-opener. He went into the game after Carroll suffered a concussion and he recorded six solo tackles and intercepted the first pass of his career off of Broncos' quarterback Trevor Siemian in a 42–17 loss. The next week, he earned his first career start in place of Carroll and recorded six solo tackles and deflected a pass in a 28–17 win at the Arizona Cardinals. He suffers a hamstring injury during the game and was questionable going into the following week.

paragraph: During a Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, he made his second career start and collected seven combined tackles and a season-high three pass deflections in the Cowboys' 35-31 loss. Lewis gave up an 11-yard game-winning touchdown with 11 seconds left in the game to Davante Adams on a back shoulder fade thrown by Aaron Rodgers. Lewis was criticized by ESPN analyst Skip Bayless who attributed the touchdown to the height difference between Adams (6'2") and Lewis (5'10"). On October 8, the Cowboys released Carroll, making Lewis the starting right cornerback due to his performances.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:2018.

paragraph: Lewis finished the 2018 season with 12 combined tackles, one interception, one pass defensed, and two fumble recoveries in 15 games.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: On March 15, 2017, Lewis' girlfriend claimed he had dragged her across the floor and put his hands around her neck to police. His girlfriend of three years had called police after she said an incident had taken place at their apartment. Two officers arrived and she told them the altercation began after an argument about him leaving the lights on and about their bills. She then claimed he threw a pillow at her and went into her closet. When she went to check to see if he was damaging her property, she somehow ended up on the ground and accused Lewis of dragging her across the floor. He supposedly then held her down by her neck for about three seconds. He was not arrested at the time. Lewis denied the claims and pleaded not guilty to a charge of misdemeanor charge of domestic violence the following day. On July 25, 2017, Lewis was found not guilty of all charges. During his tenure with the Wolverines became close friends with Tyler and Tucker Vasher. Tyler and Tucker both are diagnosed with Brittle Bone disease.

paragraph: Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero

paragraph: Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero, 1st Marquis of Mulhacén, (April 14, 1825 - January 28 or 29, 1891) was a Spanish divisional general and geographer. He represented Spain at the 1875 Conference of the Metre Convention and was the first president of the International Committee for Weights and Measures. As a forerunner geodesist and first president of the International Geodetic Association, he played a leading role in the worldwide dissemination of the metric system. His activities resulted in the distribution of a platinum and iridium prototype of the metre to all States parties to the Metre Convention during the first meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889. These prototypes defined the metre right up until 1960.

paragraph: He was born in Barcelona. According to Spanish tradition, his surname was a combination of his father's first surname, Martín "Ibáñez" y de Prado and of his mother's first surname, Carmen "Ibáñez de Ibero" y González del Río. As his parent's surnames were so similar he was often referred as Ibáñez or Ibáñez de Ibero or as Marquis of Mulhacén. When he died in Nice (France), he was still enrolled in the Engineer Corps of the Spanish Army. As he died around midnight, the date of his death is ambiguous, Spaniards retained 28th, and continental Europeans 29 January.

paragraph: Spain adopted the metric system in 1849. The Government was urged by the Royal Academy of Science to approve the creation of a large-scale map of Spain in 1852. The following year Ibáñez was appointed to undertake this task. All the scientific and technical material had to be created. Ibáñez and Saavedra went to Paris to supervise the production by Brunner of a measuring instrument calibrated against the metre which they had devised and which they later compared with Borda's double-toise N°1 which was the main reference for measuring all geodetic bases in France and whose length was 3.8980732 metres.

paragraph: In 1858 Spain's central geodetic base of triangulation was measured in Madridejos (Toledo) with exceptional precision for the time thanks to this instrument, which became known as the Spanish Standard (French: "Règle espagnole"). Ibáñez and his colleagues wrote a monograph which was translated into French by Aimé Laussedat. The experiment, in which the results of two methods were compared, ended a controversy between French and German geodesists about the length of geodesic triangulation bases, and empirically validated the method of General Johann Jacob Bayer, founder of the International Association of Geodesy.

paragraph: The Spanish Standard was replicated in order to be used in Egypt, France and Germany. These Standards were used for some of the most important European surveys. In 1863, Ibáñez and Ismael Effendy compared the Spanish Standard with the Egyptian Standard in Madrid.

paragraph: From 1865 to 1868 Ibáñez added the survey of the Balearic Islands with that of the Iberian Peninsula. For this work, he devised a new instrument, which allowed much faster measurements. In 1869, Ibáñez brought it along to Southampton where Alexander Ross Clarke was making the necessary measurements to compare the Standards of length used in the World. Finally, this second version of the appliance, called the Ibáñez apparatus, was used in Switzerland to measure the geodetic bases of Aarberg, Weinfelden and Bellinzona.

paragraph: In 1870 Ibáñez founded the Spanish National Geographic Institute which he then directed until 1889. At the time it was the world's biggest geographic institute. It encompassed geodesy, general topography, leveling, cartography, statistics and the general service of weights and measures.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific career.:Measurement of the Paris meridian over the Mediterranean Sea.

paragraph: In 1865 the triangulation of Spain was connected with that of Portugal and France. In 1866 at the conference of the Association of Geodesy in Neuchâtel, Ibáñez announced that Spain would collaborate in measuring the Paris meridian. In 1879 Ibáñez and François Perrier (representing France) completed the junction between the geodetic network of Spain and Algeria and thus completed the measurement of the Paris meridian which extended from Shetland to the Sahara. This connection was a remarkable enterprise where triangles with a maximum length of 270 km were observed from mountain stations (Mulhacén, Tetica, Filahoussen, M'Sabiha) over the Mediterranean Sea.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific career.:International scientific collaboration in geodesy and calls for an international standard unit of length.

paragraph: In 1867 at the second general conference of the International Association of Geodesy held in Berlin, the question of an international standard unit of length was discussed in order to combine the measurements made in different countries to determine the size and shape of the Earth. The conference recommended the adoption of the metre and the creation of an international metre commission, according to the proposal of Johann Jacob Baeyer, Adolphe Hirsch and Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero. The French Academy of Sciences and the Bureau des Longitudes in Paris drew the attention of the French government to this issue. The Academy of St Petersburg and the English Standards Commission were in agreement with the recommendation.

paragraph: In November 1869 the French government issued invitations to join this commission. Spain accepted and Ibáñez took part in the Committee of preparatory research from the first meeting of the International Metre Commission in 1870. He became president of the permanent Committee of the International Metre Commission in 1872. He represented Spain at the 1875 conference of the Metre Convention and at the first General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889. He was the first president of the International Committee for Weights and Measures from 1875 to 1891. He received the Légion d'Honneur in recognition of his efforts to disseminate the metric system among all nations and was awarded the Poncelet Prize for his scientific contribution to metrology.
