paragraph: Henry Haig

paragraph: Henry Haig (19306 December 2007), was an English abstract artist, painter and sculptor but notable predominantly for his stained glass work.

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

paragraph: Born in Hampstead in 1930, Henry's talent was recognised and encouraged by Jack Fairhurst, his art teacher at Richmond and East Sheen County School for Boys. A visit to Wimbledon School of Art at the age of fifteen led to an immediate offer of a place. Haig studied painting and sculpture there for five years until called for national service in 1949. He refused an officer's commission on completion, preferring to return to his art studies. He applied for a place in the painting school of the Royal College of Art but accepted an invitation to the stained glass department, led by Lawrence Lee. Haig was at RCA between 1952 and 1955, and, having met fellow student Joan Salmon during this time, they were married on New Year's Day, 1956. The couple went on to have five children.

paragraph: Section::::Career and works.

paragraph: One of Haig's earliest public works is the concrete, glass and granite chip frieze in the booking hall of South Ruislip station. Thought by some to date from the 1948 construction of the station, others date it at 1961.

paragraph: Both Joan and Henry went into teaching. Henry taught at Kingston College of Art and, whilst there, received a commission for St Richard's Church in Ham, London, under construction in 1964–65. Henry created fourteen dalle de verre windows inspired by the life of St Richard. Haig also painted the sacristy door panels which are faced with enamels, gold and silver fused onto sheet steel, the left door depicting the Bishop's chalice and the right evoking the "shimmer at the entrance to Paradise". The sculpted wood, copper and gilt processional cross and candlesticks are also Haig's work.

paragraph: Haig's commissions gradually allowed him to give up teaching and concentrate full-time on his art, based in his home studio, a converted racquets court, in Fifehead Magdalen, Dorset where the family lived from 1969.

paragraph: Haig also received a commission for Clifton Cathedral, the project dating from 1965 and completed in 1972–73. Like St Richard's, Ham, Clifton is a six-pointed star plan with a hexagonal interior space. Haig's window contains 8000 pieces of glass set in epoxy resin. The larger of the narthex windows depicts "Pentecost" and the smaller one "Jubilation".

paragraph: Two windows symbolic of previous churches were made for Christ Church (Methodist/URC) Chichester and installed in 1982. Family associations were the theme for 1984 windows in the church of St. Mary, Donhead St Mary, Wiltshire. In 1985, Haig's two windows were installed in the church of Christ the King, Amesbury depicting 'Jesus Christ the Apple Tree' to the left and 'The Firmament' to the right of the altar. St Theresa's Convent Chapel, Effingham, Surrey has two of Haig's works, a four panel window and a single one on the theme of "light" dated 1987.

paragraph: A year later, in 1988, Haig created two windows each comprising three panels and a triangle for St Peter's Convent, Woking.

paragraph: One of Haig's best-known works is the memorial window for WPC Yvonne Fletcher, who was shot and killed while on duty during the Libyan Embassy siege on 17 April 1984.

paragraph: The window, in the lady chapel of St Leonard's Church, in Yvonne Fletcher's home town of Semley, Wiltshire, was dedicated by the Bishop of Salisbury on 17 April 1988. At the bottom of the centre light is the badge of the Metropolitan Police and Yvonne's name is along the base of the three lights.

paragraph: Haig was commissioned to produce a window to commemorate the 50th anniversary of RAF Lyneham paid for with funds raised from air personnel contributions. The official launch of the work, in St Michael's and All Saints, Lyneham, Wiltshire, was celebrated at a service for the anniversary by the Queen on 17 May 1990.

paragraph: Most, but not all of Haig's work is installed in religious buildings. In February 1991, Haig's "Minerva" comprising six windows was installed in a surgery in Bath, Somerset.

paragraph: On 22 November 1992 the Michael James memorial window was installed in the archway of the west door in Wimborne Minster. Haig took inspiration from the phrase ""praise to the Holiest in the height and in depth be praise"" from Elgar's 'Dream of Gerontius' which Michael James, the church's assistant organist, had been studying prior to his death in 1981.

paragraph: "The Creed" and "Garden of Eden" windows in St Leonard's parish church, Priors Marston, Warwickshire were installed in 1993.

paragraph: The north rose window in St Mary's Church, Swanage, installed in 1994, depicts The Creation. Haig's other works in Dorset also include the golden oculus for St Mark's Church in Highcliffe, which represents Alpha and Omega and fills a space in the gallery wall originally occupied by the organ. Other Dorset works include the 'Journey from Stourhead' screen and chapel windows in Shaftesbury Hospital, and a glass dome, cross and the cabinet for the chapel of the Joseph Weld Hospice in Dorchester.

paragraph: In 1994 Haig provided the east window for St Stephen's York, replacing a window destroyed by arson in 1992. The design was inspired by the writing of Alcuin of York ""In word and in example let thy light shine in the black dark like the morning star"". The centre panel shows Saint Stephen's arms raised looking up to heaven and seeing the vision of Christ. In the top right of the window, three hunched figures represent the martyrs of every age.

paragraph: In 1995 the south aisle of St. Michael Shalbourne, Wiltshire, gained a two light window depicting St. Luke and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Atypical for Haig, the non-abstract, figurative, design was by another, respected, stained-glass artist, Karl Parsons, who had lived locally.

paragraph: In 1997 two lights depicting rural scenes were added to the church of St Edith, Baverstock, Wiltshire. Also that year Haig's arched window was installed at All Saints, Newland, 'The Cathedral of the Forest', and dedicated, in 2000, to the memory of its donor, Joan and her husband, Henry Ludlam.

paragraph: In 1998 Haig's windows were installed in the church of the Most Holy Name and St. Edward, Shaftesbury. Haig started work on this in 1996, working with the congregation to refine the design, drawing on the colours of the windows in Nantes Cathedral. Haig used traditional construction with lead came and French, English and German mouth-blown glass. Fired iron oxides and silver stain were used to produce the desired colours and effects.

paragraph: Haig's twelve windows in the church of Douai Abbey, Thatcham were blessed by Abbot Geoffrey Scott OSB on 20 November 1999.

paragraph: Haig was commissioned to create a stained glass window to celebrate the millennium for St Michael & All Angels' church, Alsop-en-le-Dale, Derbyshire. Its theme; ""I saw a new heaven and a new earth"" is from Revelation 21:1. The Bishop of Derby dedicated the window on 30 September 2001. Haig also created a window for the south aisle of St Mary's Church, Fordingbridge in 2000.

paragraph: Henry Wylie Haig died in Yeovil, on 6 December 2007 aged 77.

paragraph: Seven Lions

paragraph: Jeff Montalvo (born March 31, 1987), known professionally as Seven Lions, is an American DJ, record producer, instrumentalist and remixer from Santa Barbara, California. Active musically since 2010, his music combines styles as diverse as trance, melodic dubstep, drum and bass, glitch hop, and electro house. He has released six EPs, multiple singles, and official remixes for record labels such as Casablanca Records, OWSLA, Viper Recordings, Anjunabeats, Republic Records and Monstercat.

paragraph: His second EP "Days to Come" was mentioned by "Vibe Magazine" as one of their Top Electronic Albums of 2012, and it peaked at No. 10 on the "Billboard" Dance/Electronic Albums chart. His next EP, "Worlds Apart", charted at No. 76 on The Billboard 200, and the EP's track "Don't Leave" with Ellie Goulding entered the UK Singles Chart in 2014. He tours regularly in the United States, and since 2012 has performed at festivals such as SXSW, Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Camp Bisco. He was nominated for America's Best DJ, a competition held by "DJ Times", in 2014.

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

paragraph: Jeff Montalvo was born on March 31, 1987 in Santa Barbara, California. His interest in music production began at the age of 7, when his father came home with a Macintosh and keyboard. He also grew up playing bass and guitar, and after playing drums for several metal and punk-inclined bands, he eventually segued into electronic music production. Montalvo explains that accessibility was his initial reason for the shift, "because I got tired of waiting for my band all the time - I wanted to just start making music so I started composing electronic music by myself." After a friend gave him the Fruity Loops digital audio workstation, he started learning production.

paragraph: In college he developed an interest in the genre of trance after being handed an old Tiësto CD. At age twenty he attended his first rave in 2007, which inspired him to focus on producing trance himself. Around 2010 he began releasing music under the moniker Seven Lions, mixing industrial drum beats with multiple genres. The name Seven Lions comes from a fantasy book called "Latro in the Mist" by Gene Wolfe, who he names as his favorite author. Seven Lions is a character in the book.

The remix was officially released on their Anjunabeats label on December 21, 2011.

paragraph: Seven Lions' first major tour started in March 2012, when he hit the UKF Tour with dubstep DJs Gemini and Koan Sound. During the tour, Seven Lions also supported Bassex. He also remixed the Above & Beyond track "On My Way To Heaven" in 2012. According to "Mixmag", "His take on 'On My Way To Heaven' retained the original's euphoric opening before plunging into a maelstrom of super-sized beats and gurgling bass."

paragraph: His first EP "Polarize" was released on April 23, 2012 on the British drum and bass label Viper Recordings.

The EP was largely well-received, and his song, "Below Us" was featured as Zane Lowe’s ‘Hottest Record In The World,’ with Lowe writing about the song, "fresh sounding production marries an ethereal vocal with some clean tear out riffs." After releasing "Polarize", Seven Lions had several Beatport #1s (four in the dubstep chart) in 2012, with remixes for artists such as Above & Beyond, Matrix & Futurebound, Paul Van Dyk and Delirium.

paragraph: After Seven Lions' management passed some of his demos to the DJ Skrillex, Seven Lions was signed to release an EP on Skrillex's personal OWSLA imprint. In October 2012, Seven Lions' released his "Days to Come" EP, with four tracks included. The title track features the vocals of Australian singer Fiora, and is the only dubstep song on the EP. "Earmilk" wrote that the song "pulls you in with the exquisite vocals and then hits you with that deep melodic bass." In contrast, the EP's song "The Truth" is progressive house, while "Fractals" incorporates electro house. The final track, "She Was," can be defined as glitch hop and features the band Birds of Paradise. "Days to Come" was mentioned by "Vibe Magazine" as one of their Top Electronic Albums of 2012. It peaked at No. 10 on the "Billboard" Dance/Electronic Albums chart and No. 13 on Heatseekers Albums chart in 2012, and landed at No. 2 on the US iTunes Dance Charts and No. 1 on Beatports' top 5 albums of the week.

paragraph: Critics have in particular noted his blend of trance and dubstep. Thump clarified in April 2014 that "Seven Lions is currently one the biggest names in EDM, thanks to his unique and powerful brand of melodic, larger-than-life soundscapes that... mesh massive bass drops with emotional progressive-trance breakdowns." In 2014, Seven Lions' explained that "I think that whole dubstep/trance sound was basically just from having an open mind about different genres and realizing that most of the trance I liked was at 140 bpm and most dubstep I liked was at 140 bpm, so it naturally made sense."

paragraph: Seven Lions' has described himself as a fan of "epic" music, and he is a long-time metal and fantasy fan, inspired by groups such as his favorite band Opeth.

paragraph: John Chase (general)

paragraph: John Chase (December 10, 1856 – May 3, 1918) was an American medical doctor and commander of the Colorado National Guard. He was the commander of the Colorado National Guard in several of the most significant confrontations between American military forces and organized labor — the Colorado Labor Wars of 1903-1904 and the Ludlow Massacre of April 1914. He was a graduate of the University of Michigan where he played college football for the 1879 Michigan Wolverines football team, the first football team to represent the University of Michigan, and was captain of the 1880 team.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Chase was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1856. His father, John Manley Chase, was a New York native and a civil engineer who surveyed the site of Lansing, Michigan, and served as one of the first treasurers of the University of Michigan. His mother was Elvira L (Ludden) Chase. At the time of the 1860 United States Census, Chase lived with his parents and two older siblings in Ann Arbor. His father's occupation was listed at the time as a farmer, and the value of his real estate was listed as $5,000. Chase was educated in the Ann Arbor public schools and graduated from Ann Arbor High School in 1875.

paragraph: Chase enrolled at the University of Michigan in the fall of 1875. He played college football for the 1879 Michigan Wolverines football team, the first football team to represent the University of Michigan, and was captain of the 1880 team. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1879 and a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1881.

paragraph: Section::::Medical practice.

paragraph: Chase practiced medicine in Detroit, Michigan, from 1881 to 1884. From 1884 to 1885, Chase traveled in Europe where he continued his studies in diseases of the eye and ear. After contracting typhoid fever, he returned to the United States. Chase moved to Colorado in 1885 and established a medical practice specializing in diseases of the eye. In 1887, Chase was one of the organizers of Gross Medical College, which was later consolidated with Denver Medical College. He was subsequently affiliated with the University of Denver and the University of Colorado, where he served as a professor of ophthalmology and otology. Chase also had investments in the mining industry in Gunnison, Boulder and Chaffee Counties, and ranching operations in Douglas County.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Early service.

paragraph: Chase is most remembered for his military service. His first military service was with the Michigan National Guard from 1878 to 1882, reaching the rank of captain. After moving to Colorado, Chase joined the Colorado National Guard in 1888. He was promoted to first lieutenant in 1895 and captain and major in 1897. In January 1901, Chase became a brigadier general of the Colorado National Guard.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Cripple Creek.

paragraph: During the Colorado Labor Wars, Chase was the commander of the National Guard forces in the Lake City, Cripple Creek and Trinidad strike districts. He came under extensive criticism for ordering mass arrests and detentions of strikers and others who spoke publicly in favor of the strikers or who criticized the National Guard. When a Colorado judge issued writs of "habeas corpus" for some of the detained prisoners, Chase sent the prisoners to the courthouse accompanied by 300 troops and posted a Gatling gun in front of the court house and sharpshooters on rooftops of the National Hotel and other buildings with a view of the courthouse. When the judge ordered the prisoners released, Chase refused to follow the order from the civil court until the Governor of Colorado directed him to do so. Chase was court-martialed for his actions, but Colorado Governor James H. Peabody restored him to the command of the National Guard.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Miners strikes of 1913–1914.:Chase and Mother Jones.

paragraph: From April 1909 to March 1916, Chase was the adjutant general of the State of Colorado. When labor unrest returned to the Colorado mines in 1913 and 1914, Chase led Colorado National Guard forces in occupation of the strike areas. He imposed martial law, deported strikers from the state, and enlisted mine guards into the National Guard. When the labor leader known as "Mother Jones" came to Colorado to support the striking workers, Chase initially arrested her and put her on a train heading out of the area with a warning not to return. When she returned to the area, Chase detained her for two months under armed guard at a local hospital and refused to allow her to be seen by visitors or a doctor. The detention of Mother Jones led to demonstrations, including one in which a hundred women surrounded Chase, demanding her release. Chase reportedly ordered his men to "ride down the women," and six of the women were injured in the incident. Jones later said of Chase, "His veins run with ice water."

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Miners strikes of 1913–1914.:Ludlow Massacre.

paragraph: In April 1914, violence between the striking miners and National Guard forces under Chase's command escalated. One writer who reviewed Chase's role in the violence noted:

paragraph: Adjutant-General John Chase is in private life an oculist with an office in Denver. He is usually spoken of, even by his enemies, as a man of integrity. He impressed me as a narrow-minded man and something of an egotist. He believes intensely that he is right ... Chase doesn't believe in strikes and has no sympathy with the workingmen.

paragraph: Deteriorating relations between the strikers and the National Guard were attributed in some accounts to the increased presence of former mine guards in the National Guard forces. The detention without charges of union members and sympathizers also added to the tension. A subordinate of Chase appeared in a court proceeding and stated, "It is a matter of supreme indifference to General Chase whether men arrested and held by him are guilty or innocent of a crime."

paragraph: On the morning of April 20, 1914, the National Guard opened fire on the strikers at a tent colony occupied by 1,200 striking coal miners and their families at Ludlow, Colorado. The confrontation, which became known as the Ludlow Massacre, resulted in the death of 19 persons, including two women and eleven children who were asphyxiated when the tent colony was burned. The confrontation at Ludlow was the deadliest incident in the 14-month 1913-1914 Colorado Coal Strike, itself the deadliest strike in the history of the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Family and civic organizations.

paragraph: Chase was active in Freemasonry and reached the 32nd degree. He was also Knight Commander of the Court of Honor and grand marshal of the Conclave in 1912. He was also a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and served as the organization's president in 1906.

paragraph: In August 1888, Chase married Anna Louise Sampson in the State of New York. They had six children: John Samson Chase (born March 18, 1890), Russell Chase, Anne (Chase) Carlson, David T. Chase, Kate T. (Chase) Reed, and Abigail Chase. At the time of the 1900 United States Census, Chase lived at 923 Corona Street in Denver with his wife Anna, their five children, his parents (John M. and Alvina L. Chase), and a housekeeper, Kate London. His profession was listed at that time as an oculist. At the time of the 1910 United States Census, Chase lived at the same location in Denver with his wife Anna, their six children, and one servant, Marquis Jordan. His profession was again listed as an oculist. He maintained his medical office at 412-415 Majestic Building in Denver.

paragraph: Chase died in May 1918. The cause of death was reported as pneumonia.

paragraph: James Robinson (jockey)

paragraph: James Robinson (1794–1873) was a British Jockey. In a riding career which lasted until 1852 he rode the winners of 24 British Classic Races. His six wins in The Derby set a record which was not surpassed until Lester Piggott won his seventh Derby in 1976. His record of nine wins in the 2000 Guineas remains unequaled. Robinson, who was often known as "Jem", retired from riding after an injury in 1852 and died in 1873.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Robinson was born at Newmarket, Suffolk. His father, John ("d"1845), was a trainer, while his older brother, also John ("d"1863), prepared Tarantella to win the 1833 1,000 Guineas. His half-brother, Tom Robinson ("d"1875), rode the first and third winners of the Prix du Jockey Club. Jem Robinson was apprenticed at the stable of Robert Robson at Newmarket where he remained for thirteen years and he was trained in race riding by Frank Buckle.

paragraph: Section::::Riding career.

paragraph: Robinson developed a riding style which saw him employ a low, crouching posture, especially in a finish. This was closer to the modern style introduced to England by American riders such as Tod Sloan at the end of the century and in contrast to most jockeys of the time who tended to sit "bolt upright". Even by the standards of his time, Robinson made frequent and vigorous use of the whip, leaving some of his mounts bleeding. One horse named Ardrossan was so affected that he later attacked Robinson on the training gallops and the jockey narrowly escaped serious injury.

paragraph: Robinson recorded his first major win when he won the 1817 Derby on Azor, a horse who had been entered in the race to make the pace for a more fancied stable companion. In 1824 he won both the Derby (on Cedric) and the Oaks Stakes (on Augusta) in the same week as his marriage to a Miss Powell. He won the Derby again on Middleton in 1825 and Mameluke in 1827. In 1828 he rode the 2000 Guineas winner Cadland to a dead heat with the Yorkshire-trained The Colonel in the Derby. The race was decided by a run-off which saw Robinson comprehensively outride the leading Northern jockey Bill Scott to take the race for the fifth time. Robinson rode his last Derby winner in 1836, when he partnered Bay Middleton to a two length win over Bill Scott on Gladiator.

paragraph: In 1852 Robinson was injured in a fall at Newmarket when a two-year-old colt named Feramorz swerved at the start of a match race. Robinson's stirrup leather snapped and he was thrown from the horse fracturing his left femur, collar bone and several ribs. The leg injury did not heal properly leaving him unable to ride and forcing him into retirement.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement.

paragraph: Robinson used most of his earnings from riding to build a training yard at Newmarket. He showed little interest in running the stable, spending much of his time socialising in London. He gave away much of his remaining money to friends and was only saved from poverty later in life by the support of the Dukes of Rutland and Bedford. Robinson died at his home at Rutland Place, Newmarket, in 1873 and was buried in Newmarket cemetery.

paragraph: Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca

paragraph: Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca (born November 30, 1961 in Ponce, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican fashion photographer. After earning a BBA degree, he left the corporate world, establishing himself in the fashion industry through his work with the Ralph Lauren Corporation. He has shot for many clients, magazines covers and editorials, and has also worked with celebrities and models.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Anaya-Lucca’s father, Dr. Candido Anaya, is a cardiologist. His mother, Rev. Nilda Lucca-Anaya, is an episcopal minister. They had five children, including two sets of identical twins boys, of which Arnaldo is one. The fifth child was a girl. Anaya-Lucca's twin brother, Ariel Anaya, is younger by 5 minutes. His siblings, the twin boys and the girl, are older by 5 and 2 years respectively.

paragraph: Anaya-Lucca came to the United States in 1974, at the age of 13. His father wanted his sons to speak English and experience the change of seasons, so he sent them to St. John's Military School in Salina, Kansas. By the age of 18, Arnaldo had already discovered a passion for photography. However, his father insisted he continue with his studies, pursuing photography only as a hobby. Anaya-Lucca attended Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Missouri, and received his Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Economics in 1983. Following graduation, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked as a junior Auditor at the Internal Revenue Credit Union for three months.

paragraph: In 1986, after losing his job in D.C., Anaya-Lucca went on a trip to London. An unexpected layover at Newark Liberty International Airport necessitated his spending a night in New York City. On impulse, he stayed in the city without ever returning to DC—except to remove his belongings. Since then, he has lived in the East Village of NYC where he is represented by De facto Inc.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1988, Anaya-Lucca took a job as a salesman in the Men's Clothing Department at the Ralph Lauren flagship store in New York. Working his way up the company ladder, he eventually joined the men’s design team in 1992. In 1995, the advertising department hired him as Director of Visual Concepts. He assisted the ad team and lead photographer Bruce Weber in developing campaign concepts for advertising shoots and campaigns. In 1995, after Mr. Lauren saw Arnaldo's portraits of his son Andrew Lauren, Ralph himself hired Arnaldo to shoot Tyson Beckford for the launch of their high end brand, Purple Label. That was Anaya-Lucca’s first assignment as a professional photographer and his first published photograph.

paragraph: Anaya-Lucca left the Ralph Lauren Corporation in 1997 to pursue a career in fashion photography. He began to shoot campaigns for "Polo Ralph Lauren" in 2002.

paragraph: Anaya-Lucca has contributed to magazines including: "Vogue Australia", Australian, American, French, German and Russian editions of "GQ", "Esquire", "Interview", "Out", "Black Magazine", "The New York Times Magazine", "Spanish Harper’s Bazaar", "Flaunt", "Brutus", "Casa", "Dutch", "Vibe", "Dsection magazine" and "Velour Magazine".

paragraph: In addition to his long-term work for Ralph Lauren, Anaya-Lucca's other clients include: Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Kohls, FAO Schwarz, Victoria's Secret, Lord & Taylor, Gap, Louis Boston, Bloomingdales, Wormland, Saks Fifth Avenue, Oxford Clothes, Oscar de la Renta, Barry Bricken, Country Road, Joseph Abboud, Bergdorf Goodman, Hickey Freeman, Faconnable, Marks and Spencer, JC Penney and Hugo Boss.

paragraph: Some of the models he has photographed are: Sean O'Pry, Garrett Neff, River Viiperi, David Gandy, Gabriel Aubry, Alex Lundqvist, Nacho Figueras, Oriol Elcacho and Oliver Cheshire as well as Valentina Zelyaeva, Bridget Hall, Joan Smalls, Behati Prinsloo, Filippa Hamilton, Magdalena Frackowiak, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Bekah Jenkins and Emily DiDonato.

paragraph: Section::::Special Projects.

paragraph: In December 2009, Arnaldo was featured in a solo art exhibition, “Adam and Eve”, in the Luis Perez Galeria in Miami, Florida. Ralph Lauren was the official designer of the uniforms and clothing worn by the U.S. Team at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Anaya-Lucca was hired to shoot the special "Olympic Edition of the Ralph Lauren Label" which featured Ryan Lochte, Jonathan Horton and other athletes. In August, 2012, "Complex magazine" named Anaya-Lucca one of "The 50 Greatest Fashion Photographers Right Now".

paragraph: Segerseni was an ancient Egyptian or Nubian chieftain of Nubia, likely reigning concurrently with the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th Dynasty during the early Middle Kingdom.

paragraph: Section::::Attestation.

paragraph: Segerseni is attested by one or two rock inscriptions discovered in Umbarakab (Khor-Dehmit) in Lower Nubia. Segerseni's throne name as given on the inscriptions remains in doubt as it was roughly carved and became badly weathered over time. It could be "Menkhkare" or "Wadjkare". The former is now regarded as more probable. One of Segerseni's inscriptions possibly records a war in the unidentified region of "Persenbet".

paragraph: Segerseni is not attested on any of the Egyptian king lists.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Even though Segerseni adopted the titles of an Egyptian pharaoh, there is no evidence of him outside of Nubia. He was thus most likely a pretender to the Egyptian or Nubian throne headquartered in Lower Nubia, during a politically troubled period: either at the beginning of the First Intermediate Period, during the Second Intermediate Period, or in the time span including the reign of Mentuhotep IV of the 11th Dynasty and the early reign of Amenemhat I of the 12th Dynasty. The latter possibility is seen as more probable by Egyptologists. In particular, these two rulers seem to have had problems in being universally recognized as legitimate pharaohs.

paragraph: It is known that Amenemhat I dispatched Khnumhotep I, the faithful "Great Chief of the Oryx nome" (the 16th nome of Upper Egypt) at Elephantine to Nubia in order to wipe out the last resistance against him there, but it is not known with certainty who was the leader of this resistance. It remains conjectural to posit that it was Segerseni. Furthermore, two other rulers based in Nubia, Iyibkhentre and Qakare Ini are known, likely from the same time period. They were both likely pretenders to the Egyptian throne, and the relationships between them and Segerseni are unknown. If Segerseni was indeed Amenemhat I's foe, he could have been fighting on Mentuhotep IV's side or for his own Nubian realm. Indeed, Nubia had gained its independence during the First Intermediate Period, as indicated by the military campaigns of Mentuhotep II in the region, only 40 years prior to Segerseni's conjectured lifetime.

paragraph: J. D. Batton

paragraph: John David Batton, known as J. D. Batton (February 13, 1911 – February 10, 1981), was from 1952 to 1964 the sheriff of his native Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. He was defeated after three terms by O. H. Haynes, Jr., a fellow Democrat and the son of the sheriff, O. H. Haynes, Sr., whom Batton had himself unseated twelve years earlier.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Born in the parish seat of Minden, Batton was the older of two sons of James Bryant Batton (1880-1939) and Nolie K. Batton (1881-1971). Batton graduated in 1929 from Minden High School and for a year thereafter attended Tyler Commercial College in Tyler, Texas.

paragraph: Batton's father, J. B. Batton, a native of rural Dubberly in south Webster Parish, was a former Webster Parish deputy sheriff, a two-term Minden police chief, and an unsuccessful candidate for sheriff in an all-Democratic special election conducted on June 6, 1933. Held barely a month after a devastating tornado struck the city on May 1, the election was required to replace Sheriff Arthur Montgomery Hough (1873-1933), who died on May 7 of influenza.

paragraph: As the chief deputy under Sheriff Hough, the senior O. H. Haynes won the special election in which 80 percent of registered voters cast ballots. His bare majority, 50.8 percent of the vote, negated the need for a runoff election. The runner-up in the race, with 22.2 percent, was Louie A. Jones (1900-1965), the assistant superintendent of the Louisiana State Police and personal bodyguard of Governor Huey Pierce Long, Jr., and subsequently the warden of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola in West Feliciana Parish. Another candidate, J. D. Huckaby, was the president of the Webster Parish Police Jury. J. Bryant Batton finished last in the race with 7.8 percent of the ballots cast; he won a plurality only in his native Dubberly. Haynes, Sr., held the sheriff's position for nineteen years.

paragraph: Section::::Law-enforcement career.

paragraph: Section::::Law-enforcement career.:Minden Police Chief.

paragraph: Like his father, J. D. Batton, was the Minden police chief prior to making his own first run for sheriff. His brother, Jack Batton, was a businessman and rodeo enthusiast who served on the Minden City Council and as mayor from 1978 to 1982. At times J. D. Batton was in business with his brother. In January 1948, while his brother was already a city council member, J. D. Batton lost a race for Webster Parish clerk of court to the incumbent Thomas Jenkins "Tom" Campbell (1895–1968). Batton received 3,037 votes to Campbell's 4,528. Campbell was part of a local political family whose current members include Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell and Bossier-Webster District Attorney Schuyler Marvin.

paragraph: After Batton's defeat for clerk of court, the position of Minden police chief opened when on March 1, 1948, Benjamin Garey Gantt (1890-1948), an Alabama native who had been the chief since 1944, died suddenly of a heart attack. Gantt had been an unsuccessful candidate for sheriff a few weeks earlier in the race against the senior Haynesn. Gantt's widow, whose first name was Clyde (1889-1950), briefly filled the position of police chief pending the election for a full term. Not long before his death, Gantt had been one of six defendants charged in the lynching at Dorcheat Bayou near Minden of John Jones and Albert Harris, Jr., two African-Americans. The charges against Gantt were dropped because of his cooperation with federal authorities.

paragraph: Batton nearly won the race for police chief in the first primary in a six-candidate field. In runoff balloting, Batton defeated another Democrat, C. M. Ritchie (born c. 1897), a former deputy sheriff and former employee of the since closed Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, 935 to 632 votes.

paragraph: Police Chief Batton and Sheriff O. H. Haynes, Sr., net in a runoff election held on February 19, 1952. Batton unseated the senior sheriff by 43 votes, 5,444 (50.2 percent) to 5,401 (49.8 percent). On January 17, 1956, in conjunction with the successful gubernatorial comeback waged by Earl Kemp Long, Batton thwarted the attempt by former Sheriff Haynes, then sixty-seven, to return to office as well as the candidacy of C. Kelly McWilliams of Sarepta. Batton received 5,254 votes; Haynes, Sr., 3,134, and McWilliams, 1,493.

paragraph: Shortly after his first reelection, Batton was named one of seventeen directors of the Webster Parish Citizens' Council, a body which sought to prevent school desegregation. Others in the council were the mortician Ed Kleinegger, Tax Assessor Richard B. Garrison, and the Minden High School principal, W. W. Williams.

paragraph: Section::::Law-enforcement career.:Webster Parish Sheriff.:Key deputies.

paragraph: Long-serving deputy Clarence Roland Hennigan (1905-1992), a native of Bienville Parish and father of the retired professional football player Charlie Hennigan, joined the sheriff's department under Batton and was still in service at the time of his death At the time he was the oldest active deputy in the state. Hennigan recalls that in 1952 the department had eight deputies, two per shift. So primitive were communications that the sheriff's telephone was on a pole in front of the current downtown courthouse, which opened in 1953.

paragraph: Another long-serving deputy who began his law-enforcement tenure in the tax-collection division in 1956 under Sheriff Batton was Thomas Cameron "T. C." Bloxom, Jr. (1929-2014), a native of Mansfield in DeSoto Parish. Bloxom continued in the department and was named chief criminal deputy under Sheriffs Haynes, Jr., and then Royce L. "Doc" McMahen, until he resigned in 1982, joined the coroner's office as an investigator, and then challenged McMahen unsuccessfully for reelection to a second term as sheriff. The Democrat Bloxom ran again for sheriff in 1999, when he polled 45.7 percent of the vote against the incumbent Larkin T. Riser.

paragraph: In 1962, Batton hired as a deputy John T. Kennon, Jr. (1928-2005), a nephew of former Louisiana Governor Robert F. Kennon, a former Minden mayor, district attorney, and circuit judge. Kennon later served as the Minden city marshal and ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in the 1971 Democratic primary against O. H. Haynes, Jr.

paragraph: Section::::Law-enforcement career.:Webster Parish Sheriff.:Accomplishments.

paragraph: Batton listed his principal accomplishments as sheriff: 24-hour patrols, opening a sheriff's sub-station in Springhill, a parish-wide radio communications system, rescue trucks, escorts for funerals and school events, expansion of the criminal investigation office, and the establishment of a juvenile officer position, which was proposed to be jointly funded by the sheriff, the cities of Minden and Springhill, and the Webster Parish Police Jury. Willard H. McClung (born January 15, 1932) was appointed to the position and sworn into office by 26th Judicial District Judge Enos McClendon. In 1974, McClung ran for mayor of Minden but lost the Democratic nomination to J.E. "Pat" Patterson, who then unseated the Republican incumbent, Tom Colten.

paragraph: Early in 1959, Sheriff Batton joined Otis F. "Bill" Minter, Sr. (1902-1960), his successor as police chief, and Dr. Thomas A. Richardson (1911-1976), the Webster Parish coroner, in the investigation of the mysterious death of Minden railroad engineer Marcelous Douglas Cheshire (1906-1959), who was found with a blow to his head and his wallet missing on January 4 in the parking lot of a local grocery store. He died three days later in a Shreveport hospital. Cheshire and his wife, later Ruth Cheshire Lowe (1906-1991), owned the Joy and the Joy Drive-In theaters in Minden, both long since closed. The investigation first focused on Duke E. Schultz (1929-1999), a then 30-year-old gasoline station attendant with a history of arrests, a suicide attempt, and mental instability. Batton said that he believed Cheshire was struck by a rubber hammer used in service station work. Nevertheless, after more than a half-century, the Cheshire death remains unsolved.

paragraph: Batton announced a crackdown on obscene telephone calls at a time in which caller identification was unavailable. "Persons making those calls will be apprehended and brought to trial," Batton promised while he noted a recent six-month jail sentence received by one violator.

paragraph: Section::::Law-enforcement career.:Webster Parish Sheriff.:Reelection by four disputed votes in 1959.

paragraph: In the 1959 sheriff's campaign for his third term, Batton pledged to continue "a business-like administration" of the department, to fight juvenile delinquency and to maintain "our southern way of life."

paragraph: In the 1959 returns, Batton narrowly prevailed over two opponents, businessman Lawrence Harold Gilbert (1911-1995) of Minden and Thomas Guice McGinty (1893-1983) of Sibley, the older brother of the Louisiana historian Garnie W. McGinty. Batton polled 4,211 votes to Gilbert's 4,063. McGinty held the remaining 145 votes cast, three votes more than required to avoid a runoff contest. Sixteen absentee ballots from the Minden City Hall precinct which were not available for counting on the night of the election were tossed aside. A recount increased Batton's total to 4,222; Gilbert, 4,065, and McGinty, 148. Batton was four votes, instead of three, ahead of the 4,218 need to win the position outright.

paragraph: Though Gilbert had threatened legal action, he soon conceded his narrow loss. According to Gilbert, the attorney that he consulted said that any appeal had to be presented by midnight December 20 but more time was needed to prepare for any challenge which was likely to be successful. Gilbert further indicated that any plan for legal action died when the Webster Parish Democratic Executive Committee certified Batton as the party nominee for sheriff.

paragraph: Batton's salary as sheriff in 1961 was $10,715. Some $104,000 was disbursed for salaries of all the deputies.

paragraph: Section::::Law-enforcement career.:Webster Parish Sheriff.:Defeat in 1964.

paragraph: In a field of eight candidates, the junior Haynes emerged as Batton's principal rival in the 1963-1964 primaries. Haynes had once been a deputy under his father's tutelage and thereafter for eight years supervised the state driver's license office with jurisdiction over all of North Louisiana. He was also the Exxon distributor in Webster Parish for some four decades. Fred Haynes, the second of four sons of the junior Haynes, was a Louisiana State University Tigers football star. Fred Haynes was the winning quarterback for his Minden High School Crimson Tide team which won the state championship.

paragraph: Other candidates included Royce McMahen, a veterinarian and a member of the Springhill City Council in Springhill in the northern end of the parish, Harold Gilbert, by then the Minden police chief, H. G. "Cy" Williams, an automobile dealer who was the president of the Minden City Council, and offered an "Independent and conservative" platform. and G. E. "Doc" Steed, a former contractor and the town marshal in Cotton Valley. Another primary candidate for sheriff, Guice McGinty ran again in 1963 and polled thirty-three votes parishwide. George Alvin Pipes (1913-1976), a graduate of Plain Dealing High School in Bossier Parish, a guard at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, and a pipefitter from Dubberly ran in 1963 too and later switched to Republican affiliation to challenge Haynes in the general elections of February 6, 1968, and February 1, 1972.

paragraph: Haynes trailed Batton by 722 votes in the primary, 1,993 to 2,719 votes. McMahen finished third with 1,484 votes in the primary. He then endorsed Haynes in the runoff contest with Batton, and Haynes announced McMahen as his choice for chief deputy. In the second campaign, Haynes ran a newspaper advertisement in which he promised "capable, conscientious, and sober leadership." He claimed that the issue was not one of physical equipment or the training of deputies but the leadership of the sheriff. In the January 11 runoff, Haynes prevailed, 5,190 votes (53.4 percent) to Batton's 4,523 (46.6 percent).

paragraph: As sheriff, Haynes appointed the first African-American deputy, Louis Dunbar, Sr. (1914-1986), whose son "Sweet" Lou Dunbar became, like Haynes' son, a distinguished athlete.

paragraph: Section::::Law-enforcement career.:Webster Parish Sheriff.:The failed comeback attempt.

paragraph: In November 1967, Haynes scored a second nomination as sheriff by again defeating Batton and another primary rival, Chester J. "Red" Vaughan (1909-1992), a service station operator in Springhill and a former city marshal, who described himself as an "independent" critical of "political bosses". Vaughan also challenged Haynes in regard to unsolved crimes, such as the theft of cattle and oilfield equipment and the stripping of tires and accessories from automobiles.

paragraph: Haynes prevailed with 6,952 ballots (53.3 percent) to Batton's 5,456 (41.8 percent) and Vaughan's 634 (4.9 percent). Batton won the Minden area by five hundred votes but fell short in the remainder of the parish.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Batton was married to the former Maxine Evans (1916–1982). The couple was Southern Baptist and had three children, Roger Evans Batton (1943–2001), married to the former Frances "Gayle" Barton (1946-2018), a native of Winnsboro in Franklin Parish; John Willis Batton (born 1947), a businessman from Hot Springs, Arkansas, and his wife, Judith Yvonne "Judy" Batton (born 1944), and Karen Sue Batton (born 1949) of Heflin in south Webster Parish.

paragraph: Batton died in Minden three days before his 70th birthday in 1981. He, his wife, son, and mother are interred at Gardens of Memory Cemetery in Minden. His father, J. B. Batton, is interred at Brushwood Cemetery in Dubberly; his brother, Jack, at the historic Minden Cemetery. Batton's nephew, James Howard "Jimmy" Batton (1943–1997), was a sheriff's deputy and later an investigator for the district attorney's office.

categories: 1333 births,14th-century English people,Barons Ferrers of Groby

paragraph: William Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Groby (1333–1371) was a Leicestershire-based nobleman in fourteenth-century England who took part in some of the major campaigns of the first part of the Hundred Years' War. The eldest of two sons to Henry Ferrers, 2nd Baron Ferrers of Groby (d. 1343), he was ten years old when he succeeded his father to the Barony.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: William Ferrers was born at the family "caput" of Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire, on 28 February 1333, and received baptism the same day. Two years after his father's death, an allowance of £50 was remitted by the king and council for his care (later, in 1349, converted into a grant of the manors of Stoke on Tern, Wootton,and Hethe). As he was still a minor, custody of his patrimony was shared between King Edward III's Queen, Philippa, and his son, Edward. William Ferrers grew up as the bubonic plague was ravaging the country, and like everywhere else, this had a severely deletorious effect on the Ferrers family's finances. Almost entire villages were being wiped out (for example, that of Hethe, one of the Ferrers' manors, lost 21 out of its 27 villeins) which meant whole crops were being lost and the value of those manors collapsed.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Ferrers had been knighted by 1351, and the Queen granted him the estates of his that she held. Two years later, having paid homage to Edward III, he received livery of his estates in England and Ireland.

paragraph: Historian Eric Acheson has suggested that it was a direct consequence of the Black Death that led Ferrers to exchange away many of his outlying estates (for example, those in Shropshire) for some closer to home (in Buckinghamshire), with the Earl of March in the late 1350s. By 1364 he had also sold his remaining lands in Ireland, having already been exonerated from having taxes levied on his Irish estates for defence of that country in 1460, due to his constant service with the king in the preceding years, "at great cost to himself."

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Service in France.

paragraph: Acheson has also suggested that it was probably Ferrers' direly unstable financial situation that led him to seek a career in royal service, as the King had started a new war with France. Ferrers accompanied the Black Prince to Gascony in 1355. fought at the Battle of Crecy in 1355, at Poitiers the following year, and was with Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster in the 1359–60 Reims campaign. Ferrers last served in France in 1369, again with Lancaster, raiding Picardy and Caux that July.

paragraph: Section::::Family and death.

paragraph: William Ferrers married twice. His first marriage was to Margaret, the coheiress of her childless brother William Ufford, Earl of Suffolk (in whose retinue he had seen French service in 1355), and her father the Robert d'Ufford, 1st Earl of Suffolk. This brought him further estates in Suffolk. With her, Willam had a son and two daughters; she had died by 1368. His next marriage was to another Margaret, the daughter of Henry de Percy, 2nd Baron Percy, the widow of Sir Robert de Umfraville. This marriage was childless and she survived Ferrers by four years.

paragraph: Ferrers last will and testament was written in July 1368, in which he requested interment in the family crypt at Ulverscroft Priory. He died in Stebbing, Essex, during the night of 8 January 1371. he was succeeded by his only son from his first marriage, Henry, who inherited the barony.
