paragraph: Augustinus Rotundus

paragraph: Augustinus Rotundus (, , 1520–1582) was a Christian and Renaissance humanist, erudite, jurist, political writer, first historian and apologist of Lithuania. Rotundus was vogt of Vilnius, general secretary to the Grand Duke and King Sigismund Augustus and elder of Stakliškės. After his nobilitation to the szlachta, Rotundus adopted surname Mieleski, or Milewski.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Rotundus was born in Wieluń around year 1520. His surname is supposed to be "Mieleski", although some researchers suggest that it was adopted later. "Rotundus" is translated nickname, probably inherited from his father – Mikołaj () "Okrągły" (), who was a rich furrier in the city of Wieluń.

paragraph: Rotundus studied in University of Wittenberg and Lubrański Academy in Poznań, where he was suspected of writing a nasty lampoon about Poznań catholic chapter. Undoubtedly Rotundus was a passionate catholic after graduation and supported Hereditary monarchy and Execution movement.

paragraph: He arrived in Vilnius, capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania on August 20, 1551. He was invited by Grand Duke of Lithuania Sigismund Augustus as a legal advisor, and one who knew both Grand Duchy and Crown's law. Assigned as vogt of Vilnius in 1552 (most probably suggested by city inhabitants), he became loyal citizen of Lithuania, and wrote several works on Lithuania's history and political polemic works defending Lithuania's rights. In 1558 he was appointed as elder of Stakliškės.

paragraph: He was married to Sofia Montanówna, Italian by origin (she died after March 10, 1604). They had a son, Nickolas, who died in his infancy and two daughters: Regina and Elizabeth. For his work and achievements Rotundus was ennobled in 1568 by Sejm held in Grodno. He was awarded Rola coat of arms.

paragraph: Augustinus Rotundus died on March 20, 1582 and was buried in the church of Saint John's - the Baptist and Evangelist, in Vilnius.

paragraph: Section::::Ideas and works.

paragraph: Rotundus supported Lithuanian statehood against claims of the Polish Crown. He was progenitor of mythical deductions and his passion were noble families. Rotundus contributed to the second and the third Statutes of Lithuania. He collaborated on these acts together with Peter Roisius, Ostafi Wołłowicz and Mikołaj "the Black" Radziwiłł. He personally translated the Second Statute into Latin and added his own study "Epitome principum Lituaniae" (Lithuanian Dukes Epitome) as a foreword. In this study Rotundus promoted the idea, that Lithuanians together with their Dukes have roots in the ancient Roman Empire, from the mythical house of Palemonids. Similar theories were raised by Jan Długosz, but both were lacking evidences to support this theory.

paragraph: Rotundus was probably contributing to the second edition of the Lithuanian Chronicles. He claimed that Publius Libonus, Roman commander who fled from Julius Caesar and supposedly settled down in Lithuania, was ancestor of Lithuanian and Ruthenian rulers. Supposedly the name of "Livonia" comes from "Libonus". In his opinion, this explained why Latin language was common in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and also served to support sarmatism ideals. Rotundus was a close friend to other Vilnius renaissance scholars like physician Jan Antonin () and a poet Klemens Janicki (), after the latter died, both published Ianicius artworks.

paragraph: In 1564 on personal request by Mikołaj "the Black" Radziwiłł Rotundus wrote "Rozmowy Polaka z Litwinem" ("Conversations of Pole with Lithuanian") – a polemic work, where he defended Lithuania's dignity against insults by Polish author Stanisław Orzechowski in "Quincunx" (1554), ""...against disgraceful and mistaken Stanisławs Orzechowski writing, which innocent famous Lithuanian Duchy insulted..."". Although it is recognized as Rotundus personal work, after thorough analysis of the work Lithuanian historian Ingė Lukšaitė suggested that it was a collective work by several authors.

paragraph: Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen

paragraph: Trülku Drakpa Gyeltsen (1619–1656) was an important Gelugpa lama and a contemporary of the 5th Dalai Lama (1617–1682). His Seat was the upper residence () of Drepung Monastery, a famous Gelug gompa located near Lhasa.

paragraph: Section::::Incarnation lineage.

paragraph: Tibetan Buddhists consider Trülku Drakpa Gyeltsen to be the 6th Kyorlung Ngari Tulku, a line of incarnate lamas which began with Duldzin Dragpa Gyaltsen (1374-1434), an important disciple of Je Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelug school.

paragraph: Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen is also called the 4th Drepung Zimkhang Gongma or rebirth of Panchen Sonam Dragpa, the 3rd Kyorlung Ngari Tulku, who held the posts of the 15th Ganden Tripa and abbot of Drepung. Before his death in 1554, he had established his own monastic estate, known as the Upper Chamber (Zimkhang Gongma), named for its location at the top of Drepung Monastery just below the Ngakpa debating courtyard. This grew to be a rival centre of power in Drepung to the estate of the Dalai Lamas, called Ganden Phodrang, or so-called lower chamber (Zimkhang 'Ogma) which had been constructed in 1518 by the 2nd Dalai Lama.

paragraph: According to Lindsay G. McCune, the "Gelukpa authorities" agreed that Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen was the immediate rebirth of Sönam Gelek Pelzang (1594–1615), and the fourth incarnation, or tulku, in the Drepung Zimkhang Gongma line.

paragraph: Section::::Incarnation lineage.:Prior births.

paragraph: His prior "incarnation lineage" includes:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Duldzin Dragpa Gyaltsen ()[1374-1434]

paragraph: BULLET::::- Charchen Chödrak ()

paragraph: BULLET::::- Panchen Sönam Drakpa () [1478—1554] (first Drepung Zimkhang Gongma)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sönam Yéshé Wangpo ()- seat: Drepung monastery

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ngakwang Sönam Gélek Pelzang ()- seat: Drepung monastery

paragraph: Some Tibetan Buddhists believe that, prior to his birth as Duldzin Dragpa Gyaltsen, he was also Buton Rinchen Drub (1291–1364) of Shalu Monastery

paragraph: Section::::Incarnation lineage.:Subsequent rebirths.

paragraph: Tibetan historian Samten Karmay writes that after the death of Dragpa Gyaltsen the search for his reincarnation was banned. Thus the Drepung Zimkhang Gongma line ended and the estate founded by Panchen Sönam Dragpa in 1554 at the Upper Chamber of Drepung ceased to exist in 1656.

paragraph: Some believe that Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen then appeared as the wrathful deity Dorje Shugden. However at that time Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen's own students and supporters disagreed with this account, stating that this spirit was not that of Drakpa Gyeltsen but rather that of the Fifth Dalai Lama’s minister Desi Sönam Chöpel (sde srid bsod nams chos ’phel; 1595-1658), who was an enemy of Drakpa Gyeltsen and who had also died around the same time. Georges Dreyfus also notes that "there are other stories that seem to hint that the evil spirit connected with Drak-ba Gyel-tsen was already active prior to the latter's demise, even as early 1636. If Shuk-den was already active prior to Trul-ku Drak-ba Gyel-tsen's tragic demise, how can he be the latter's wrathful manifestation?"

paragraph: The Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center database lists a continuing line of Kyorlung Ngari tulkus subsequent to Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ngakwang Lozang Khédrup Tendzin Gyatso ()

paragraph: BULLET::::- Tendzin Chögyel () [b.1946]

paragraph: Section::::Rivalry, murder and reincarnation.

paragraph: Tibetan historian Samten Karmay writes "It should be recalled that he had been one of the candidates for the reincarnation of the Fifth Dalai Lama. As a result, he was always seen as a rival of the Fifth Dalai Lama though he invariably proclaimed himself a disciple of the latter. He came to be despised by a number of officials and especially the sDe-srid."

paragraph: Samten Karmay further writes "The circumstances of his death, whether natural or not, were contested and part of the dGe-lugs-pa school believed that the official Norbu, acting under the sDe-srid's orders had assassinated him. Whatever the truth, the search for his reincarnation was banned, which suggests that the affair must have been quite serious indeed. In 1658, the actual building of the 'Upper Chamber' was destroyed and the stupa containing the remains of the Lama was supposedly thrown into the sKyid-chu river. It was then believed that the spirit of Grags-pa rgyal-mtshan had returned as a sort of 'protector of the Buddhist religion'."

paragraph: Section::::Selected information from different sources.

paragraph: Lobsang Tamdin’s "be bum" extracted the biographies ("rnam thar") of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen and his reincarnation lineage into a work called "sprul sku grags pa rgyal mtshan gyi sngon byung ‘khrungs rabs dang bcas pa'i rnam thar" ("dza ya pandi ta blo bzang 'phrin las kyi gsan yig nas zur du bkod pa bzhugs so"). The originals can also be found directly in the catalog of received teachings ("thob yig") of Jaya Pandita published by Lokesh Chandra, International Academy of Indian Culture (1981, vol. 4, folios 43-60). This contains the list of the long "incarnation lineage" of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen, with brief biographies. The biography of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen contains a year by year account of his life.

paragraph: Sanford White

paragraph: Sanford Brownell "Sammy" White (May 4, 1888April 11, 1964) was an American football and baseball player. He played college football for the Princeton Tigers football team from 1910 to 1911 and was a consensus first-team All-American football player in 1911. He scored every point for the Tigers in their 1911 victories over Harvard and Yale, leading the team to the eastern college football championship. White also played baseball and basketball at Princeton. As team captain, he led Princeton to a baseball championship in 1911.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: White was born at Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1888. He attended Fall River High School and then preparatory school at Exeter in New Hampshire. White played both baseball and football for Exeter.

paragraph: Section::::Princeton.

paragraph: Section::::Princeton.:Multi-sport athlete.

paragraph: White enrolled at Princeton University in 1908. At Princeton, he became a four-sport star, competing in football, baseball, basketball, and track. In December 1911, he reportedly also tried out for the Princeton ice hockey team. During his sophomore year, he did not play football and played only baseball and basketball. He was selected as the captain of the baseball team as a junior and led the team to a baseball championship.

paragraph: Section::::Princeton.:1911 football season.

paragraph: White reportedly considered baseball his true love, disliked football, and joined the football team in 1911 only after being coaxed into doing so. Having been a substitute on the 1910 football team, he became a starter at left end for the 1911 Princeton Tigers football team. He led the team to the 1911 eastern college football championship. The 1911 Princeton team compiled an 8-0-2 record and outscored opponents 179 to 15.

paragraph: In Princeton's 8-6 victory over Harvard on November 4, 1911, White was responsible for all eight points scored by the Tigers. He blocked a field goal attempt by Harvard and then picked up the loose ball and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown. Later in the game, Harvard's quarterback caught a punt deep in Harvard's territory. White reportedly "hurled himself at the Harvard man in a fierce tackle and threw him back over the goal line for a safety that won the game for Princeton."

paragraph: Two weeks after the Harvard game, White played his final football game for Princeton against Yale. Princeton had not beaten Yale since 1903, and the game was played at Yale Field in front of a crowd of 33,000. Princeton won the game 6-3 in large part due to the play of White. White recovered five Yale fumbles on a field of ankle-deep mud. He returned one of those fumbles 65 yards for a touchdown for Princeton's only score. The "Boston Globe" led its story on the game with a front-page headline, "TIGERS' FOOTBALL HERO FOR PRESIDENT." "The New York Times" reported on White's long run as follows: "He can run, White can. He followed the ball like a hound follows the fox. Ever ready to scoop it up and run with all the speed in his long, lithe limbs. Once out in front he runs like the wind, looks neither to the right nor left, but with his nose pointing toward the enemy's goal his cleets tear up the muddy turf and he runs faster and faster until, the leather tucked under his arm in a vise-like grip, he plants it behind the line and wins the game. That's Sam White."

paragraph: White won accolades for his alert play during the 1911 season. One sports writer opined that "football has never known a player with a 'nose for the ball' like 'Sammy' White." Another writer added, "The college football season each year develops a 'hero,' and this year his name is Sanford B. White, left end of the Princeton team." Yet another proclaimed him "the greatest athlete the institution [Princeton] has ever produced."

paragraph: Section::::Princeton.:Awards and honors.

paragraph: At the end of the 1911 season, White was chosen as a first-team All-American on the teams selected by, among others, Walter Camp, "The New York Globe", Tommy Clark, Wilton S. Farnsworth, Henry L. Williams, Charles Chadwick, "Baseball Magazine", and "The Christian Science Monitor". The Princeton Club of Philadelphia also presented White with a gold cigarette case filled with a piece of sod taken from the spot where White planted the ball in the end zone at Yale Field.

paragraph: White was also the president of Princeton's senior class, president of its Senior Student Council, and was voted the most popular, most respected, best all-around man, and the man who did most for his class. He graduated from Princeton in June 1912.

paragraph: Section::::Business career and military service.

paragraph: After graduating from Princeton, White represented International Harvester Corporation in the Midwest. He next worked for the Princeton Bank and Trust Co.

paragraph: In the fall of 1917, White served as the chairman of the local Liberty Loan committee at Princeton, raising funds to support the allied cause in World War I. In January 1918, he enlisted in the Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant and served as a post adjutant.

paragraph: After his discharge from the military, White returned to work for International Harvester. He became the secretary and remained with the company until his retirement in 1947.

paragraph: Section::::Family and later years.

paragraph: In April 1913, White was married to Jeanette McAusland at Summit, New Jersey. He had two sons, Sanford B., Jr., and Charles McAusland, and two daughters, Jean (married to Edward Bax) and Priscilla (married to Ashton Graham). He died of a heart attack in April 1964 at age 75.

paragraph: Arturo Tappin

paragraph: Arturo Tappin is a smooth jazz and jazz/reggae saxophonist from Barbados. He has performed with Roberta Flack, Monty Alexander, and on an album by Luther Vandross.

paragraph: He is based in New York City, but is strongly linked to his homeland. In the late 1980s he made his debut as a leader of his own quintet including pianist Jacky Terrasson at International Barbados/Caribbean Jazz Festival.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Arturo Tappin began his musical career, with formal training at Berklee College of Music. Described as a cross between the Teddy Pendergrass and Kenny G, Tappin is referred to as the smoothest, "saxiest" horn man the Caribbean has to offer. Influenced by the roots culture, he made headway with his roots-reggae Jazz-fusion album for his debut recording, and increased the hype with a repeat performance on his second album, entitled "Java", both licensed by Pioneer Records in Japan.

paragraph: His dynamic live performances and his reputation for putting on explosive shows led him to perform at the Edinburgh Festival, Soho Jazz Festival, Miami AT&T Caribbean Jazz Festival, St. Lucia, Antigua, Curaçao, St. Kitts, St. Vincent, Grenada and Barbados Jazz Festivals, Arturo continued his live performance schedule at Bob Marley's Birthday Bash, James Bond Film Festival in Jamaica, and Trinidad's Independence Day celebration in Miami. Besides touring jazz festivals the world over, Tappin has performed at social engagements as well including a performance for past United States President Bill Clinton and twice for Fidel Castro and President Barack Obama. He has recently received an Excellence in the Arts award from former Jamaican Prime Minister P. J. Patterson.

paragraph: Tappin has played and recorded with many artists including Luther Vandross, Eddy Grant, Red Rodney, Milt Hilton, Monty Alexander, Ernest Ranglin, Jacky Terrasson, Courtney Pine, Al Harewood, Roy Haynes, Ellis Marsalis, Oliver Jones, Doc Cheatham, Pete King, Mutabaruka, The Wailers Band, Frederick "Toots" Hibbert, Third World, Mikey Bennet, Dennis Bovell, Sandra Cross, Luther François, Maxi Priest, Bongo Herman and Dean Fraser. Tappin attributes much of his success to a former tutor at Berklee College of Music, Bill Pierce (Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers), uncle Elombe Mottley, and his parents for their constant love and support.

paragraph: Don Sandburg

paragraph: Don Sandburg (1930 – October 6, 2018) was an American writer, actor, and producer who has worked in television, most notably as producer of "The Banana Splits" for Hanna-Barbera as well as WGN-TV's "Bozo's Circus".

paragraph: Section::::Career.

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

paragraph: Sandburg had started in television on WCPO in Cincinnati, Ohio when he was 21. He was initially a prop manager but later became production supervisor for "The Paul Dixon Show". He left after a year, hoping to get work in Denver, Colorado but ended up doing a series of other jobs until returning to Cincinnati with WLW Radio and WLWT-TV in 1953, where he joined Wally Phillips and Bob Bell to produce, direct and write "The Walt Phillips Show". When WLW and WLWT's executive vice president moved to WGN Radio and Television, he brought Phillips, Bell and Sandburg along.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Bozo's Circus".

paragraph: When WGN-TV started "Bozo" in 1960, Sandburg was not involved with the show until after it went to an hour format as "Bozo's Circus" in 1961. He was approached by station management to write for the program - he already wrote material for a morning program, "Breakfast With Bugs Bunny", that evolved into "Ray Rayner and His Friends" - but refused, suggesting instead that he be hired to appear as a character on air, offering to write material for the show at no extra charge (union pay rates for on-air talent were higher than for writing). WGN agreed, and the character "Sandy the Tramp" was born. Sandy was a mute clown reminiscent of silent film comedians, although Sandburg has said he primarily based the character on Harpo Marx. Eventually, Sandburg would be named the show's producer as well. He was instrumental in the creation of the "Grand Prize Game". By 1965, Larry Harmon added Sandburg's "Sandy" and Ray Rayner's Oliver O. Oliver to Bozo the Clown coloring books. In 1967, Sandburg appeared in local McDonald's ads as Ronald McDonald.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:After "Bozo".

paragraph: Sandburg left the show in 1969, deflated by the pace of four jobs on the show as performer, writer and producer. He left for Los Angeles hoping to find work at the Disney studios, where he had a friend. When the Disney job didn't pan out, he called on an old friend and former WGN-TV programming executive, Fred Silverman, who got him the job as producer of "The Banana Splits".

paragraph: Afterward Sandburg worked as a writer on "New Zoo Revue", and for various stations and studios in Los Angeles, including Paramount where he worked on the Star Trek animated series. He also worked at Marineland and as a theater director in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he periodically produced variety shows, featuring some of the same entertainers he previously had booked to appear on "Bozo's Circus". Magician Marshall Brodien (a former WGN colleague) participated in some of these shows, which Sandburg hosted in character as Sandy (with his secretary playing his sister, Samantha). For these shows, the Sandy character spoke; Sandburg has described the voice as being somewhere in between Roy Brown's voice as "Cooky" and Bob Bell's voice as "Bozo."

paragraph: Sandburg returned to WGN-TV to play Sandy on "The Bozo 25th Anniversary Special" (telecast live September 7, 1986); he also came back to play Sandy while Roy Brown was ill. Sandburg was part of "The Bozo Show 30th Anniversary Special" (aired September 8, 1991), and on the final episode of "Bozo": the WGN-TV special "Bozo: 40 Years Of Fun", aired July 14, 2001. One of his Sandy costumes is part of the collection of "Bozo's Circus" artifacts at the Museum of Broadcast Communications.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Sandburg and his wife lived in retirement in Oregon. He died of complications of Alzheimer's disease on October 6, 2018 at the age of 87.

paragraph: Marvin Austin

paragraph: Marvin Austin Jr. (born January 10, 1989) is a former American football nose tackle. He was drafted by the New York Giants in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He played college football at North Carolina. Austin also played for the Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos.

paragraph: Section::::High school career.

paragraph: A native of Washington, D. C., Austin chose to attend Coolidge High School in the Manor Park neighborhood, despite being courted by notable D. C. area athletic programs like DeMatha coming out of middle school. As a junior in 2005, he helped Coolidge to the D. C. Interscholastic Athletic Association title game for the first time since 1986, where they lost 43–14 to a Dunbar team that was led by Arrelious Benn, Nate Bussey, and Vontae Davis. In the spring of 2006, Coolidge assistant Moses Ware was hired as the head coach at his alma mater Ballou High School in Congress Heights, and persuaded a number of rising seniors—including Austin—to leave Coolidge and play for him across town. He led Ballou to their first DCIAA title in 2006, beating Dunbar 34–33. Austin contributed 85 tackles and 17 sacks, and was named High School All-Metro First Team by "Washington Post" for consecutive times (2005 and 2006). Following his high school career, Austin played in the 2007 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. "USA Today" named him to their All-American first team, and also National Defensive Player of the Year.

paragraph: Regarded as a five-star recruit by "Rivals.com", Austin was ranked as the No. 1 defensive tackle in the class of 2007, which also included Brian Price, Drake Nevis, and Star Lotulelei. Austin was ranked third overall in the country in Scout.com's final rankings, behind only Everson Griffen and Joe McKnight. He was recruited by numerous top programs around the country including Florida State, Southern California, and Tennessee. On National Signing Day 2007, Austin committed to play his collegiate ball at the North Carolina.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: In his true freshman year at North Carolina, Austin played in all 12 season games and started in three. He finished the season with 26 tackles, 6.0 tackles for losses, and 4.0 sacks.

paragraph: In 2008, Austin played in 13 games and started 11. He tied with E.J. Wilson for most tackles by a Carolina defensive lineman with 38, had 1.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 interception (returned for touchdown), and 1 blocked kick. He had three tackles, assisted on a tackle for loss and had one quarterback pressure in the win over Notre Dame, and earned coaches "player of the game" honors for his performance.

paragraph: In his junior season, Austin was selected second-team All-ACC. For the season, Austin finished with 42 tackles, 6.0 tackles for losses, four sacks, three pass breakups, six quarterback pressures, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

paragraph: After an excellent junior season, Austin was viewed as a potential top-10 draft pick. However, before he could build on his draft stock, he was suspended along with 13 other North Carolina players for receiving improper benefits. Austin along with Tar Heels pass rusher Robert Quinn, receiver Greg Little and three others were suspended the entire 2010 season. North Carolina still had enough talent to finish 8-5 and beat Tennessee in the Music City Bowl.

paragraph: Even though he was dismissed from the UNC football team, Austin represented the school in the 2011 East-West Shrine Game on January 22, 2011. He scored a touchdown by recovering a fumble by Texas A&M Aggies' starting quarterback Jerrod Johnson 3 yards out of the endzone.

paragraph: Austin came under heavy fire in the NFL draft process. Despite having a good East-West Shrine game, his character and judgment came under question to scouts. Reports of his skipping the Wonderlic test and finger-pointing in interviews reportedly disappointed some NFL personnel.

paragraph: On November 19, 2013, the University of North Carolina sent a disassociation letter to Austin, Greg Little, and Robert Quinn for the improper benefits taken during their time at the university. The three athletes are prohibited from contacting current North Carolina athletes and are not allowed inside the Kenan Football Center or other athletic facilities on campus.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Giants.

paragraph: In the 2011 NFL Draft Austin was selected 52nd overall by the New York Giants. Giants general manager Jerry Reese stated he consulted Austin's teammate at UNC Hakeem Nicks prior to the selection. Austin said Nicks was the first person to call him after he was drafted. Prior to the draft Austin was heavily scouted by the Chicago Bears. Bears coach Lovie Smith and defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli visited Austin and "spent a goodly amount of time with him."

paragraph: On August 22, Austin's season was cut short as he tore his pectoral muscle during a preseason game against the Bears. He was placed on injured reserve on August 30.

paragraph: Austin saw his first appearance come in the Giants' second game of the 2012 NFL season, when the Giants played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Miami Dolphins.

paragraph: Charles Waldo Haskins

paragraph: Charles Waldo Haskins (January 11, 1852 – January 9, 1903) was an American accountant, and co-founder of the accounting firm Haskins and Sells, a predecessor to Deloitte.

paragraph: "He was born in 1852 into a leading American family (including uncle Ralph Waldo Emerson)."

paragraph: Haskins was educated at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, where he earned a degree in civil engineering, and subsequently completed his studies in Paris. His wife, Henrietta Havemeyer, whom he married in 1885, was from a family even wealthier than his own - the Havemeyer family of New York. Her uncle was three times Mayor of New York, and her grandfather controlled the American Sugar Refining Company ("Domino"). Descended from John Howland, a signer of the Mayflower Compact, Haskins was a New York Member of Sons of Liberty and other local societies along with the local branch of the (Presidents) Adams family (with whom he was also related).

paragraph: Haskins advocated unified and reliable accounting principles, lecturing widely on history and methods. He was known to describe the public accountant as "the consulting physician of finance and commerce." Haskins stated that the public accountant "understands the anatomy and physiology of business and the rules of health of corporations, partnerships, and individual enterprises. He diagnoses abnormal conditions and suggests approved remedies. His study and interest is the soundness of the world of affairs."

paragraph: Haskins was heavily involved in codifying qualifications and created the legislation and bodies that defined the first Certified Public Accountant qualifications in the nation for New York State, which were later emulated throughout the US.

paragraph: Haskins served as president of the New York State Society of CPAs and the American Society for CPAs. In 1900, Haskins founded the earliest professional school of business, The School of Commerce, Accounts, and Finance of New York University, and the first university accounting program in America. Haskins was the first dean of the school, a post he held until his death in 1903.

paragraph: An obituary in a leading New York newspaper alluded to his character, accomplishments and circumstances:

paragraph: "Mr. Haskins occupied a position singular and unique in relation to his fellows in the profession; removed from all the petty jealousies engendered by the battle for a livelihood; possessing means more than ample for the requirements of himself and his personal family, he gave freely in time, money, and influence to every movement designed to place the certified public accountant on a par in the eyes of the world with the professions of law and of medicine."

paragraph: Frederick James Gould

paragraph: Frederick James Gould (19 December 1855 – 6 April 1938) was an English teacher, writer, and pioneer secular humanist.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: He was born in Brighton, the son of William James Gould and his wife Julia, who were evangelical Anglicans. He grew up in London, and at the age of seven was sent to study and sing in the choir at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. He then went to school at Chenies, Buckinghamshire, where he became a day and Sunday school teacher. At the age of fifteen, he thought he heard voices in his head exclaiming "How wonderful is the love of God!", following which he studied theology "in a kind of devout fury". However, after he was appointed head teacher at Great Missenden church school in 1877, he began to develop doubts about his own religious faith.

paragraph: In 1879 he moved to London, married, and began working as a teacher in publicly funded board schools in poorer parts of the East End. By the early 1880s he had become actively involved in the Secularist movement. He was transferred from the school in Bethnal Green to Limehouse in 1887, after his published notes in the "Secular Review" were seen by his employers, the London School Board, and he was exempted from teaching the Bible. He later asked to be allowed to resume Bible teaching, to stress its ethical rather than supernatural elements, but this was refused.

paragraph: Section::::Work as a secularist and humanist.

paragraph: He met the American-born secularist Stanton Coit at a lecture in 1889 on moral instruction in French schools. Coit helped Gould set up the East London Ethical Society, for whom Gould then devised a series of ethical lessons for use in Sunday schools, which he later developed into a four-volume book, "The Children's Book of Moral Lessons" (1897). He also wrote articles on secular humanism, and the books "Stepping-Stones to Agnosticism" (1890) and "The Agnostic Island" (1891), both published by Charles A. Watts' publishing company. In 1890, with Watts, George Holyoake and others, he helped form the Propagandist Press Committee, which became the Rationalist Press Association in 1899. In 1896, with Coit, he helped establish a Union of Ethical Societies, which became the forerunner of the later British Humanist Association.

paragraph: He left teaching in 1896, and in 1899 moved with his family to Leicester, where he had first spoken in 1883. Succeeding Joseph McCabe, he worked as Secretary to the Leicester Secular Society until 1908. He published a "History of the Leicester Secular Society" in 1900. During this period he became increasingly influenced by the writings of Auguste Comte, and in 1902 he joined the Positivist Church of Humanity and founded the Leicester Positivist Society. From 1904 to 1910 he was a Labour Party councillor in Leicester. In 1909, he was one of the first to adopt the term "Humanist" in its modern sense.

paragraph: Gould later worked as a lecturer and demonstrator, initially for the Moral Education League, and from 1919 to 1927 was Honorary Secretary to the International Moral Education Congress. After his son, Julian Gould, was killed in action at Arras in 1917, he became increasingly interested in the work of the League of Nations and world peace.

paragraph: He travelled and toured widely giving talks, notably in the United States and India under Government auspices. His work included writings and lectures on ethical topics, and he became noted for his insistence that secular education should draw on a wide range of moral examples, including those from the Bible, Shakespeare, and biographies. He worked to promote non-theological moral instruction. He wrote many books and pamphlets covering a wide range of subjects, including religious history, Biblical criticism and educational methods. He wrote "The Life-Story of a Humanist" (1923), as well as a biography of Auguste Comte. In later years he lived in Ealing, London.

paragraph: Taranatha

paragraph: Tāranātha (1575–1634) was a Lama of the Jonang school of Tibetan Buddhism. He is widely considered its most remarkable scholar and exponent.

paragraph: Taranatha was born in Tibet, supposedly on the birthday of Padmasambhava. His original name was Kun-dga'-snying-po, the Sanskrit equivalent of which is Anandagarbha. However, he adopted Taranatha, the Sanskrit name by which he was generally known, as an indication of the value he placed on his Sanskrit scholarship in an era when mastery of the language had become much less common in Tibet than it had once been. He was also paying homage to his Indian teacher, Buddhaguptanatha.

paragraph: His exceptional qualities are said to have been recognized by others at a young age, as is often the case with great masters. He studied under such masters as Je Draktopa, Yeshe Wangpo, Kunga Tashi and Jampa Lhundrup, although his primary teacher was Buddhaguptanatha.

paragraph: Taranatha was recognized by Khenchen Lungrik Gyatso as the rebirth of Krishnacarya and the Khenchen's own teacher, Jetsun Kunga Drolchok.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Taranatha was a prolific writer and a renowned scholar. His best known work is the 143-folio "History of Buddhism in India" (dpal dus kyi 'khor lo'i chos bskor gyi byung khungs nyer mkho) of 1608, which has been published in English. Other works are "The Golden Rosary, Origins of the Tantra of the Bodhisattva Tara" of 1604 which has also been translated into English. He was an advocate of the Shentong view of emptiness and wrote many texts and commentaries on this subject. English-language translation publications of his works on Shentong are "The Essence of Other-Emptiness" (which includes a translation of his "Twenty One Profound Meanings" (Zab don gсer gcig pa)) and his "Commentary on the Heart Sutra".

paragraph: In 1614 Taranatha founded the important Jonangpa monastery Takten Dhamchöling, in the Tsangpo Valley about 200 miles west of Lhasa. After the forceful take-over by the Gelug in 1642, it became known as Ganden Puntsokling.

paragraph: Section::::Tāranātha’s complete works.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Probably not long after 1614, Taranatha went to Mongolia, where he reportedly founded several monasteries. He died probably in Urga. His rebirth became known as Zanabazar, the 1st Bogd Gegeen and Jebtsundamba Khutuktu of Mongolia. His most recent reincarnation was the 9th Jebtsundamba Khutughtu, who died in 2012.

paragraph: Joan, Lady of Wales

paragraph: Joan, Lady of Wales and Lady of Snowdon, also known by her Welsh name of Siwan, (c. 1191–1192 – February 1237) was the illegitimate daughter of King John of England and wife of Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales and Gwynedd, effective ruler of most of Wales.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Joan should not be confused with her half-sister, Joan, Queen consort of Scotland.

paragraph: Little is known about her early life. Her mother's name is known only from Joan's obituary in the "Tewkesbury Annals," where she is called "Regina Clementina" (Queen Clemence); there is no evidence that her mother was in fact of royal blood. Joan may have been born in France, and probably spent part of her childhood there, as King John had her brought to the Kingdom of England from Normandy in December 1203, in preparation for a marriage alliance to Prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth.

paragraph: Thomas Pennant, in ""Tours in Wales", Volume 2", published London, 1810, writes : "It is said that Llewelyn the Great had near this place [Trefriw] a palace; ... The church of Trefriw was originally built by Llewelyn, for the ease of his princess, who before was obliged to go on foot to Llanrhychwyn, a long walk among the mountains."

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: Joan was betrothed to Llywelyn the Great in 1204, and the marriage is thought to have taken place in 1205, although some of the annals of the abbey of St Werburgh in Chester say that it occurred in 1204. She and Llywelyn had at least two children together:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Elen ferch Llywelyn (Helen or Ellen) (1207–1253), married (1) John the Scot, Earl of Chester and (2) Robert II de Quincy

paragraph: BULLET::::- Dafydd ap Llywelyn (c. 1212–1246) married Isabella de Braose, died at Abergwyngregyn.

paragraph: Some of Llywelyn's other recorded children may also have been Joan's:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Gwladus Ddu (1206–1251) married (1) Reginald de Braose and (2) Ralph de Mortimer, with whom she had issue.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Susanna was sent to England as a hostage in 1228.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Angharad ferch Llywelyn

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret married (1) Sir John de Braose (called Tadody), grandson of William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber. She married (2) Sir Walter de Clifford and had children by both husbands.

paragraph: Joan often mediated between her husband and her father. According to "Brut y tywysogyon, or, The chronicle of the princes: Red Book of Hergest", when John was successfully campaigning in North Wales, "Llywelyn, being unable to suffer the king's rage, sent his wife, the king's daughter, to him, by the counsel of his leading men, to seek to make peace with the king on whatever terms he could."

paragraph: In April 1226 Joan obtained a papal decree from Pope Honorius III, declaring her legitimate on the basis that her parents had not been married to others at the time of her birth, but without giving her a claim to the English throne.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.:Adultery.

paragraph: At Easter 1230, William de Braose, who was Llywelyn's prisoner at the time, was discovered with Joan in Llywelyn's bedchamber. William de Braose was hanged on 2 May 1230, according to local folklore at Abergwyngregyn; the place was known as Gwern y Grog. A letter from Nicholas, Abbot of Vaudy, suggests that the execution took place at Crogen near Bala ("crogi" means to hang).

paragraph: Joan was placed under house arrest for twelve months after the incident. She was then, according to the Chronicle of Chester, forgiven by Llywelyn and restored to favour. She may have given birth to a daughter early in 1231.

paragraph: Joan was never called Princess of Wales, but in Welsh "Lady of Wales".

paragraph: Section::::Death and burial.

paragraph: Joan died at the royal home at Abergwyngregyn, on the north coast of Gwynedd, in 1237. Llywelyn's great grief at her death is recorded; he founded a Franciscan friary in her honour on the seashore at Llanfaes, opposite the royal residence. This was consecrated in 1240, shortly before Llywelyn died. It was destroyed in 1537 by Henry VIII of England during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. A stone coffin originally identified as Joan's can be seen in St Mary's and St Nicholas's parish church, Beaumaris, Anglesey. Above the empty coffin is a slate panel inscribed: "This plain sarcophagus, (once dignified as having contained the remains of Joan, daughter of King John, and consort of Llewelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales, who died in the year 1237), having been conveyed from the Friary of Llanfaes, and alas, used for many years as a horsewatering trough, was rescued from such an indignity and placed here for preservation as well as to excite serious meditation on the transitory nature of all sublunary distinctions. By Thomas James Warren Bulkeley, Viscount Bulkeley, Oct 1808"

paragraph: In recent years doubt has been cast on the identity of the woman shown on the coffin lid, which is not thought to belong to the coffin on which it rests. Experts have suggested the costume and style of carving belong to a much later decade than the 1230s when Joan died, although the coronet would indicate a member of the royal family. Eleanor de Montfort is thought the likeliest alternative.

paragraph: Section::::In literature.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Joan and her affair with William de Braose is the subject of Saunders Lewis's Welsh-language verse play "Siwan."

paragraph: BULLET::::- Edith Pargeter's novel "The Green Branch" is set in Wales and the Welsh Marches in 1228–1231, when Llewelyn ruled Gwynedd and most of the rest of Wales.

paragraph: Vakhtang IV () (c. 1413 – December 1446), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was King of Georgia from 1442 until his death.

paragraph: Vakhtang was the eldest son of Alexander I of Georgia by his first wife Dulandukht. He was raised to the co-kingship by his father in 1433. When Alexander I abdicated in 1442, Vakhtang succeeded him to the throne of Georgia, leaving his brothers – Demetrius and George as co-kings. Vakhtang’s rule was threatened by the rivalry among the nobles and general instability in the kingdom. According to the 18th-century Georgian scholar Vakhushti, Vakhtang also faced an attack by the Turkoman prince Jahan Shah of the Kara Koyunlu. Vakhtang met him at Akhaltsikhe in southern Georgia, but a fierce fight did not reveal a victor. In the night, Jahan Shah left the battlefield and returned to Tabriz.

paragraph: Vakhtang IV married Sitikhatun, daughter of Prince Zaza I Panaskerteli in 1442, outlived her by two years and died without issue in 1446, being buried, together with Sitikhatun, at the Bana cathedral in Tao (now in Turkey). He was followed by his rivaling brothers Demetrius and George. This marked the beginning of a fierce and extended struggle for hegemony in Georgia, which eventually ended with the partition of the Georgian kingdom.

paragraph: Ludwig Gattermann

paragraph: Ludwig Gattermann (20 April 1860 – 20 June 1920) was a German chemist who contributed significantly to both organic and inorganic chemistry.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ludwig Gatterman was born on 20 April 1860 in Goslar, an old mining town north of the Harz mountains. Two of his three siblings died at a young age.

paragraph: During his time in the Realschule he started experimenting. In 1880, he wanted to study at the University of Leipzig, but he had to complete his compulsory military service before he could start. He started his studies in 1881. After one year with Robert Bunsen at the University of Leipzig, he visited Liebermann for one semester at the University of Berlin to improve his skills in organic chemistry. Gattermann chose the University of Göttingen, which was close to Goslar for his further studies.

paragraph: He started his thesis under the supervision of Hans Hübner, who died in 1884, and finished his Ph.D. in 1885. As successor of Hans Hübner, Victor Meyer came to Göttingen and some renowned chemists worked as assistants in his group, which consisted of Rudolf Leuckart, Emil Knoevenagel, Traugott Sandmeyer and Karl von Auwers.

paragraph: His private life in Heidelberg and Freiburg was overshadowed by his problematic 25-year-long marriage which was divorced. Gattermann had one daughter who cared for him during his illness which caused his death on 20 June 1920.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Göttingen.

paragraph: During his time as assistant of Victor Meyer in Göttingen, Victor Meyer established a cooperation with the dyes company of Friedr. Bayer & Co., later known as Bayer AG, and especially with the chief chemist Carl Duisberg starting in 1888 and working perfectly for 32 years, which gave Gatterman an insight into industrial chemistry and provided him with access to chemical compounds produced by Bayer.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Heidelberg.

paragraph: He followed Victor Meyer, who succeeded Robert Bunsen, to the University of Heidelberg in 1889.

paragraph: Gattermann conducted the practical education of the students in the laboratory for several years, till the suicide of Victor Meyer. He stayed with the successor of Meyer, Theodor Curtius, for two further years until 1900 in Heidelberg.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Freiburg.

paragraph: Gattermann became professor at the University of Freiburg in 1900. He improved the educational situation and was mainly involved in organisation and teaching. The results of his personal research get sparse and most of the publications come from his PhD students.

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: His dangerous analysis of the highly explosive nitrogen trichloride in 1887 showed his excellent abilities in the laboratory. His nickname "der Heros" was coined after an English article title a hero of science reporting about nitrogen trichloride.

paragraph: The production of boron and silicon by the reaction with magnesium yielded amorphous powders which were more reactive and easier to handle than the substances.

paragraph: The improved Sandmeyer reaction using metallic copper as catalyst, and the discovery of the reaction of hydrocyanic acid with an aromatic compound now called the Gatterman reaction were achieved during his time in Heidelberg.

paragraph: He also conducted research in inorganic chemistry. Gatterman synthesized and characterized SiCl, SiCl and also the selfigniting PH.

paragraph: His fearless nature towards the highly toxic hydrocyanic acid can be best be shown by a quotation from him: If you are used to handling the substance it is no worse than handling alcohol.

paragraph: Section::::His Book.

paragraph: His book about practical work in the laboratory became a standard textbook of organic synthesis at almost every German university. In some universities the organic course is still called ""Gattermann"". (Digital edition: "Die Praxis des organischen Chemikers" 2nd ed. 1896 / "Die Praxis des organischen Chemikers" 15th ed. 1920 by the University and State Library Düsseldorf)

paragraph: His book is mentioned in Primo Levi's autobiography "If This Is a Man" when it came up in discussion during Levi's chemist interview at Buna synthetic rubber factory at Auschwitz during the Holocaust.

paragraph: Sir William Dupree, 1st Baronet

paragraph: Colonel Sir William Thomas Dupree, 1st Baronet, (4 September 1856 – 2 March 1933) was an English brewer.

paragraph: Dupree originally worked for the Reading-based Simonds' Brewery. In the early 1890s he became manager of the Simonds brewery in Portsmouth, where he resided for the rest of his life. He later left to set up his own business, Portsmouth United Breweries. It became extremely successful and by the late 1920s was one of the largest breweries in Southern England.

He was mayor during the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra and entertained naval officers from sixteen countries, for which he was knighted in 1902.
