paragraph: Carlos Pellicer

paragraph: Carlos Pellicer Cámara (January 10, 1897 – February 16, 1977), born in Villahermosa, Tabasco, was part of the first wave of modernist Mexican poets and was active in the promotion of Mexican art and picture, literature. An enthusiastic traveller, his work is filled with depictions of nature, and a certain sexual energy that is shared with his contemporary, Octavio Paz.

paragraph: The young Pellicer studied in Mexico City. In August 1921, along with Vicente Lombardo Toledano, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and Xavier Guerrero, he founded the Grupo Solidario del Movimiento Obrero ("Solidarity Group of the Workers' Movement"). He lectured in modern poetry at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and served as the director of the Department of Fine Arts. He helped establish a number of museums, including the Frida Kahlo and Anahuacalli museums in Mexico City. In 1976 he was elected to the Senate, representing Tabasco for the PRI.

paragraph: His early poems, as in "Colores en el mar" (Colors in the Sea, 1921) and "Piedra de sacrificios" (Stone of Sacrifice, 1924), often depicted serene and halcyon landscapes. During his later period, however, Pellicer explored the historical and spiritual implications of his experience of nature. Octavio Paz said of his work: "A great poet, Pellicer taught to us to see the world through different eyes, and in doing so modified Mexican poetry. His work, poetry with a plurality of sorts, is solved in a luminous metaphor, an interminable praise of the world."

paragraph: Bay (chancellor)

paragraph: Bay, also called Ramesse Khamenteru, (died 1192 BC) was an important Asiatic official in ancient Egypt, who rose to prominence and high office under Seti II Userkheperure Setepenre and later became an influential powerbroker in the closing stages of the 19th Dynasty. He was generally identified with "Irsu" (alt. Arsu, Iarsu, Yarsu) mentioned in the Great Harris Papyrus, although no contemporary source connects Bay with Irsu.

paragraph: Bay's importance is emphasized by the fact that he was given permission, possibly by Seti II but more probably by Siptah, to construct his own tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings (KV13). His tomb was clearly constructed as part of a triad of tombs, including that of the Pharaoh Siptah and Queen Twosret. This was an unprecedented privilege, the likes of which were rarely accorded to a commoner, let alone a foreigner (though previous exceptions, such as that of Yuya, have occurred). It is possible that Bay was accorded this tomb because he was a relation of Siptah's mother, a Canaanite concubine of Seti II, or perhaps even of Amenmesse. His tomb was later usurped under the Twentieth Dynasty by prince Mentuherkhepshef, a son of Ramesses IX.

paragraph: Section::::Origins and career.

paragraph: Bay is called a Syrian (Hurru = Hurrian or Harran-born) Asiatic. While his precise background is unknown except for his Syrian origins, Bay is first attested as scribe and butler, an important position in Egypt, during the reign of Seti II. However, Bay probably entered Egypt's civil administration earlier under a previous pharaoh–either Merneptah, Seti II's father, or Ramesses II.

paragraph: Indeed, Bay's first official position may have been that of a priest in the temple at Heliopolis, where a small statue of him has been found. By the time of the death of Seti II, Bay had risen to the post of Chancellor and played the role of "kingmaker." Bay's status at Siptah's court was so great that on several of the young king's monuments, "the chancellor is shown in scenes with the pharaoh on the same scale as the latter, the earliest occasion in which a commoner was depicted in such a manner." Furthermore, Bay explicitly claims, in several inscriptions with reference to Siptah, that it was he who established the king "on the throne of his father" without providing further details on how this came about. Bay was also included in the cult of the mortuary temple of Siptah in Year 3 of the latter's reign. During the same period the tomb of Queen Twosret, KV14 was also started, and built as part of a threesome with those of Siptah and Bay. The tombs of Bay and Twosret (2nd building phase) are smaller copies of the royal tomb.

paragraph: Images of Bay exist showing him standing behind the throne of Pharaoh Siptah, an unusual position for a commoner, and also opposite Twosret on the doorjamb of the Amada temple where he faces the queen. Tablets unearthed by excavators at Ras Shamra prove Ugarit was communicating with Bay of Egypt (RS 86.2230), who described himself the "head of the bodyguard of the Great King, the King of Egypt".

paragraph: Like Siptah's and Twosret's, Bay's name was later removed from the tomb, probably by the new Pharaohs of the 20th Dynasty, who did not recognise his legitimacy, nor that of any of the late 19th Dynasty monarchs who ruled after Seti II, including Siptah and Amenmesse. If tradition is to be believed, Bay enjoyed an evil reputation: he reportedly seduced Twosret, who then gave him full control over Egypt's treasury. Some even speculate that during this period Bay and Twosret were lovers. But this speculation is unlikely, since Bay died in Siptah's Year 5, at least two years before Twosret assumed the throne.

paragraph: Section::::Fate.

paragraph: While it was previously assumed that Bay served under Twosret and may even have attempted to usurp the throne on her demise, a newly discovered ostracon published by Pierre Grandet in BIFAO 100 titled "L'execution du chancelier Bay O. IFAO 1864," (BIFAO 100 [2000]: pp. 339–345), reveals otherwise. According to the information in Ostraca IFAO 1864, which is composed of two inscribed potsherd fragments that were reunited in February 2000, Bay was executed on or shortly before Year 5, III Shemu day 27 of Siptah, on the king's orders. The recto of the ostracon is essentially a public announcement to the workmen of Deir el-Medina and reads thus:

paragraph: Although the king is not named, the dating of the ostracon under Siptah is certain and accords well with Bay's last known public appearance in Regnal Year 4 of this king. It is not known what event or palace conspiracy brought about Bay's sudden downfall. However, the prime beneficiary of his death appears to be Twosret, who assumed the throne without opposition a year later when Siptah died. The intention of the public announcement was to tell the Deir el-Medina workmen to abandon all work on completing Bay's tomb. Bay, hence, was not buried in the dignified style which he sought and instead met a traitor's fate. After his fall, his tomb was subsequently usurped in the 20th Dynasty for prince Mentuherkhepshef, a son of Rameses IX.

paragraph: Section::::Memory.

paragraph: Papyrus Harris I portrays his tenure in office as a time when Egypt was in chaos and temple offerings were denied to the gods. After the death of Twosret, Egypt seems to have fallen into anarchy, with many temples being looted by Asiatic followers of Bay.

paragraph: Twosret's successor Setnakhte's Elephantine stele records how he expelled these Asiatic rebels who, on their flight from Egypt, abandoned much of the gold, silver and copper which they had stolen from Egypt, and with which they had intended to hire reinforcements among the Asiatics. His pacification of Egypt is also referred to in the Great Harris Papyrus.

paragraph: It is possible that memories of these events were distortedly reported in the third century BCE by the Hellenistic Egyptian historian and priest, Manetho, who claimed that a certain Egyptian priest from Heliopolis called Osarseph, led leprous Asiatics out of Egypt, in an Exodus later reportedly that of Moses. C. Hauret suggests that Irsu/Bay's career also has a resemblance to that of the Biblical Joseph (Yusuf). Thomas Romer writes that some think that "Osarseph is a polemical name for Akhenaton; others think of a combination of Joseph and Osiris."

paragraph: John Wallop

paragraph: Sir John Wallop (c. 1490 – 13 July 1551) was an English soldier and diplomat who belonged to an old Hampshire family from the village of Farleigh Wallop.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Wallop, was son of Stephen Wallop by the daughter of Hugh Ashley.

paragraph: Wallop may have taken part in Sir Edward Poynings's expedition to the Low Countries in 1511 and may have been knighted there. He certainly was knighted before 1513, when he accompanied Sir Edward Howard on his unfortunate but glorious journey to Brest. In July 1513 he was captain of the "Sancho de Gara", a hired ship, and in May 1514 he was captain of the "Gret Barbara". In these years he did a great deal of damage to French shipping. On 12 August 1515, he was sent with letters for Margaret, Duchess of Savoy, regent of the Netherlands.

paragraph: In 1516 he left England on a more honourable errand. Armed with a letter from Henry VIII, dated 14 September 1516, to Emmanuel I, king of Portugal, he sailed to that country and offered his services at his own expense against the Moors. He remained fighting at or near Tangier, and then came back to England having been made a knight of the order of Christ. In September 1518 his name occurs as one of the king's pensioners, and for the next three years he was serving under Earl of Surrey in Ireland, frequently being the means of communication between the Lord Deputy and Henry VIII. Wallop took a prominent part in the fighting in France in 1522 and 1523. Doubtless as a reward he was on 31 March 1524 appointed high marshal of Calais.

paragraph: In September 1526 Wallop was sent on an embassy. He first went to Margaret, Duchess of Savoy, then to the Archduke, reaching Cologne on 30 September. He remained there till well on in November, writing to Cardinal Wolsey as to the progress of the . On 30 November he was back in Brussels with Hacket, thence he returned again early in December to Cologne, and went on to Mainz. On 12 January 1527 he was at Augsburg. On 1 February he was at Prague, and saw the entry of Ferdinand, king of the Romans. It was doubtless at this time that he received the two great gilt cups that he mentions in his will as having been given him by Ferdinand. On 26 April he was at Olmütz. On 20 May he was at Breslau in Silesia, visiting Sigismund I, King of Poland, who made vague but pleasant promises of hostility against "the ungraciose sect of Lutere". King Ferdinand would not let him go to Hungary, where he wished to communicate with the waiwode. On 11 July he was at Vienna, and probably returned to England in the autumn.

paragraph: Wallop seems to have paid a hasty visit to Paris in January 1528. On 29 January 1528 he received an annuity of fifty marks. About 17 February he left England on a formal embassy to France, and wrote from Poissy on 29 February that he had seen Francis and congratulated him on his recovery from illness. On 2 April 1528 he was at St. Maur "sore vexed with the coughe and murre". He was made, with Richard Paget, surveyor of the subsidies on kerseys on 17 March 1528 at a joint salary of £100. He remained in Paris for some time, but was at Calais on 2 June.

paragraph: Wallop rapidly received valuable rewards for his services. He had long been a gentleman of the privy chamber. On 1 March 1522 he had received the constableship of Trim in Ireland, but had surrendered it before 1524. On 6 April 1529 he became keeper of the lordship and park of Dytton, Buckinghamshire. On 23 June 1530 he received a formal grant of the lieutenancy of Calais as "from 6 October last". This was a promotion, as the lieutenant of Calais who commanded the citadel was next in rank to the deputy. He was at Calais during the great repairs of 1531.

paragraph: In April 1532 Wallop was sent as ambassador to Paris, which he visited at frequent intervals as the English resident for the next eight or nine years. He went into the south of France with Gardiner and Bryan in 1533, and was at Marseilles on 5 October at the meeting of Francis and the pope. The Venetian Marin Giustinian, writing from Paris on 15 April 1533, spoke of Wallop as one who did not approve of the divorce. He was probably in London in the middle of 1534, but was certainly back in Paris in December, and remained there for the first half of 1535, taking part in the attempt to persuade Melanchthon to come to England. In October he was at Dijon, and remained for some time in the south. He was at Lyons from the beginning of 1536 until June. In July there was a rumour that he was going to Spain. A curious letter to him from Henry, dated 12 September 1536, directs him to investigate the strength of the French fortresses. On 2 October 1536 he was at Valence, but back in Paris in December. He left Paris on 1 March 1537, and was in London in May.

paragraph: Wallop was now rich, as his uncle had been some time dead. In 1538 he was granted the lands of the dissolved monastery of Barlinch, Somerset, and some manors in Somerset and Devonshire. In May 1539 he was in the Pale of Calais, where there were troubles as to religion.

paragraph: In February 1540 Wallop succeeded Bonner as ambassador resident at Paris; at Abbeville he was presented to the king of France and had an interview with the queen of Navarre. He had reached Paris by June 1540, and was soon joined there by Carne. For the rest of this year he followed the court, sometimes going as far as Rouen or Caudebec.

paragraph: William, lord Sandys of the Vyne, captain of Guisnes, died on 4 December 1540, and Wallop's friends made a successful application in his favour. It is strange that the captaincy of Guisnes should have been considered a more advantageous post than that which he already held, particularly as we know that Francis liked him. Chapuys, indeed, says that many thought he had been retired for fear he should withdraw himself. On 18 January 1541 he was revoked in favour of Lord William Howard. Suddenly he fell into disgrace. He was accused of "sundry notable offences and treasons done towards us", but in consideration of his long service he was allowed to explain his conduct. Brought before the council (some time earlier than 26 March 1541),

paragraph: Queen Catherine Howard, it seems, had made intercession, and Henry himself, who was fond of men of Wallop's type, would not need much persuading. Thus he became captain of Guisnes in March 1541.

paragraph: At Guisnes he remained, no doubt taking an active part in the engineering operations in the Pale of this time, and attending the meetings of the deputy's council, of which, as captain of Guisnes, he was a member. In 1543, when Henry and Charles were in alliance and an English force was ordered to co-operate with the imperialists in the north of France, the Earl of Surrey supposed he should have the command; but, to his disappointment, it was given to Wallop, with Sir Thomas Seymour as his marshal; Surrey had to accept a subordinate post. The expedition effected little, though the soldiers were long in the field. Wallop was ill during part of the operations, but gained great glory, and Emperor Charles V commended his conduct to Henry VIII.

paragraph: On Christmas Eve 1543 Wallop was elected KG, the king providing him with robes from his own wardrobe. He was installed on 18 May 1544. The war of that year kept him busily occupied, as he had to keep a large number of men at Guisnes. During the next few years there are many notes of his activity in the "Acts of the Privy Council". On 19 June 1545 he was specially thanked by the council for his courage. In 1546 he was placed on the second commission for the delimitation of the frontier of the Boulonnais, and in March following he was appointed on the third commission for the same purpose. As relations between France and England grew strained, Wallop was involved in various frontier conflicts which were the subject of prolonged recriminations between the English and French courts. He retained his post during the ensuing war, 1549–50, and after the conclusion of peace was on 29 November 1550 once more made a commissioner for the delimitation of the English and French boundaries.

paragraph: Wallop died of the sweating sickness at Guisnes on 13 July 1551; he was buried with some state there, presumably in the churchyard. He had had a good deal to do with the restoration of the church. He left a large annuity to Nicholas Alexander, who had been his secretary, and was afterwards hanged at Tyburn for cowardice.

paragraph: Section::::Character.

paragraph: Machyn, in speaking of the death of Wallop, calls him "a noble captain as ever was". Chapuys on 21 June 1532 spoke of him as being better trained to war than to the management of political affairs. In 1899, his portrait, by Holbein, belonged to the Earl of Portsmouth.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Wallop married, first, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Oliver St. John, and widow of Gerald Fitzgerald, 8th Earl of Kildare; secondly, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Clement Harleston of Ockendon in the county of Essex. She survived him. By neither wife did he leave any issue, and his estates passed therefore to his brother, Sir Oliver Wallop, and, he dying in 1566, his son Henry Wallop, succeeded.

paragraph: Al-Aziz Billah

paragraph: Abu Mansur Nizar al-Aziz Billah, commonly known as al-Aziz (10 May 955 – 14 October 996) () was the fifth Caliph of the Fatimid Dynasty (975–996).

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Since Abdallah, the heir to the throne, had died before his father Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah (953-975), his brother Abu Mansur Nizar al-Azizbillah acceded to the Caliphate with the help of Jawhar as-Siqilli. Under Al-Aziz, the Fatimid Empire stretched as far as Palestine and Syria (from 977/978). Mecca and Medina also acknowledged the suzerainty of the Fatimids.

paragraph: Section::::Developments.

paragraph: The reign of Al-Aziz was primarily significant for the strengthening of Fatimid power in Egypt and Syria, which had then only very recently been conquered (969). In 975 al-'Aziz took control of Baniyas in an attempt to subdue the anti-Fatimid agitation of the Sunni "Mahammad b. Ahmad al-Nablusi" and his followers. The bedouin Tayy tribe under Mufarrij ibn Daghfal ibn al-Jarrah was defeated in Palestine 982 and finally subjugated at Damascus 983. Towards the end of his reign Al-Aziz sought to extend his power to northern Syria, focusing his attention on the Hamdanids of Aleppo. The fact that they were under the suzerainty of the Byzantine Empire resulted in the outbreak of war with this great power, a conflict which would not be resolved until the reign of al-Hakim (996-1021).

paragraph: Another notable development during al-Aziz's reign was the introduction of foreign slave armies. When the Berber troops from the Maghreb continued to be successful in the wars against the Carmathians in Syria, Al-Aziz began setting up units composed of Turkish slave soldiers, or Mamelukes.

paragraph: Through the expansion of the bureaucracy (in which many Jews and Christians acquired important posts) the foundations were laid for the immense power of the succeeding Caliphs. His appointment of a Jewish governor over Syria/Palestine, however, led to grumbling by his Muslim subjects, who claimed they were being pushed out of important posts. As a result, Al-Aziz ordered his Christian and Jewish officials to employ more Muslims in their offices.

paragraph: The Egyptian economy was also nurtured, and tax revenue thereby increased, through the expansion of streets and canals and the establishment of a stable currency. The general economic well-being was also apparent in an elaborate building programme.

paragraph: The reign of Al-Aziz was also culturally significant. His grand Vizir Yaqub ibn Killis (979-991) founded the al-Azhar University in Cairo (988) which went on to become the most important centre of learning in the Islamic world. Likewise a library with 200,000 volumes was built in Cairo.

paragraph: According to Professor Samy S. Swayd Fatimid missionaries made their Dawah in China during the reign of Al-Aziz.

paragraph: Al-Aziz died on 13 October 996. His son Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah (996-1021) succeeded him as Caliph.

paragraph: Ebenezer Cobb Morley

paragraph: Ebenezer Cobb Morley (16 August 1831 – 20 November 1924) was an English sportsman. He is regarded as the father of the Football Association (FA) and modern football.

paragraph: Morley was born at 10 Garden Square, Princess Street in Hull and lived in the city until he was 22.

paragraph: Morley qualified as a lawyer in 1854, and in 1858 he moved to the London suburb of Barnes to practice as a solicitor in the capital. He founded Barnes Football Club in 1862. In 1863, as captain of the Mortlake-based club, he wrote to "Bell's Life" newspaper proposing a governing body for the sport. This led to the first meeting of the FA at Freemasons' Tavern, on 26 October 1863. At this meeting, Morley was elected the first secretary of the association. He created the first draft of the rules, that were considered on the FA meeting of 10 November of that year. It was Morley, along with John Alcock and Arthur Pember, who led the move to eliminate rugby-style carrying of the ball and "hacking" (kicking opponents' shins) from the draft rules before they were published in December 1863.

paragraph: Morley continued to serve as FA secretary until 1866. He resigned as secretary that year on account of the demands of his business, but subsequently served as that body's second president, from 1867 to 1874.

paragraph: As a player, he played in the first ever match under FA rules, against Richmond in 1863, and also scored for London in the London v Sheffield match held on 31 March 1866.

paragraph: A solicitor by profession, Morley was a keen oarsman, founding the Barnes and Mortlake Regatta for which he was also secretary (1862–1880). He was also a keen fox hunter, keeping his own pack of beagles. He served on Surrey County Council for Barnes (1903–1919) and was a Justice of the Peace. Morley is buried in Barnes Cemetery, a now abandoned graveyard on Barnes Common, Barnes. He had no children.

paragraph: The house at which Morley created the first draft of the FA's laws (No 26 The Terrace) carried a blue plaque to Morley. It subsequently collapsed "like a tower of cards" in November 2015 during building work.

paragraph: Morley was the subject of a Google Doodle on 16 August 2018, the 187th anniversary of his birth.

paragraph: Zariadres

paragraph: Zariadres ( "Zareh") was a King of Sophene.

paragraph: Strabo cites Sophene being taken over by a "general" of king Antiochus III by 200 BC, called Zariadres.

paragraph: Following the defeat of Antiochus III by the Romans at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, Zariadres and Artaxias revolted and with Roman consent began to reign as kings under the terms of the Treaty of Apamea in 188 BC—Zariadres over Sophene and Artaxias over Armenia.

paragraph: It is possible that Zariadres (Dsariadres) was the father of Abdissares, although the scant historical records have Abdissares ruling before Zariadres.

paragraph: The name written as Dsariadris might be a Greek corruption of the name Bagdassar.

paragraph: A hypothesis is that king Bagdassar was forced to accept rule by king Antiochus III, but stayed as a Satrap, paying tribute until the Battle of Magnesia allowed him to reassert his independence. Strabo was writing 200 years after these events and may not have been accurate.

paragraph: Over a dozen stone boundary markers have been discovered on the territory of modern Armenia from the time of the reign of Artashes with Aramaic inscriptions, before their discovery the existence of these stones was attested by Moses of Chorene. In these inscriptions Artashes claims descent from the Yervanduni (Orontid) Dynasty: "King Artaxias, the son of Orontid Zariadres."

paragraph: Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr

paragraph: Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr ( "Ḥassan Muṣṭafā Usāmah Naṣr") (born 18 March 1963), also known as Abu Omar, is an Egyptian cleric. In 2003, he was living in Milan, Italy, from where he was kidnapped and tortured in Egypt. This ""Imam rapito affair"" prompted a series of investigations in Italy, culminating in the criminal convictions (in absentia) of 22 CIA operatives, a U.S. Air Force colonel, and two Italian accomplices, as well as Nasr, himself.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He is a member of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, an Islamic organisation that was formerly dedicated to the overthrow of the Egyptian government; the group has committed to peaceful means following the coup d'état that toppled Mohamed Morsi. The group has been linked to the murder of Anwar Sadat in 1981 and a terrorist campaign in the 1990s that culminated in the November 1997 Luxor massacre. As a result, it is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union. After the Egyptians declared the group illegal, Nasr sought asylum in Italy. During the 1990s he fought in Bosnia.

paragraph: Section::::Abduction by the CIA.

paragraph: On 17 February 2003, Nasr was abducted by CIA agents as he walked to his mosque in Milan for noon prayers, thus becoming an effective ghost detainee. He was later transported to a prison in Egypt where, he states, he was tortured.

paragraph: In April 2004, while his incarceration had been downgraded to house arrest, Nasr placed several phone calls from Egypt to his family and friends. He told them he had been rendered into the hands of Egypt's SSI at Tora Prison, twenty miles south of Cairo. He said he had been subjected to various depredations, tortured by beating and electric shocks to the genitals, raped,

paragraph: Nasr's case has been qualified by Swiss senator Dick Marty as a "perfect example of extraordinary rendition", and in Italy prompted a series of investigations and intrigues within the Italian intelligence community and criminal justice system collectively referred to as the "Imam Rapito" (or "kidnapped Imam") affair in the Italian press.

paragraph: In February 2016, the European Court of Human Rights condemned Italy over this affair and ordered Italy to pay €115,000 (£90,000; $127,000) in damages and expenses to Nasr and his wife, Nabila Ghali.

paragraph: Section::::Convictions of CIA agents and others.

paragraph: On 4 November 2009, an Italian judge convicted "in absentia" 22 CIA agents, a U.S. Air Force (USAF) colonel and two Italian secret agents of the kidnap. Eight other American and Italian defendants were acquitted.

paragraph: Former Milan CIA station chief, Robert Seldon Lady, received an eight-year prison sentence. USAF Lieutenant Colonel Joseph L. Romano, at the time of the conviction commander of the 37th Training Group of the 37th Training Wing, and 21 of the American defendants received five-year prison sentences. Those convicted were also ordered to each pay 1 million Euros to Nasr and 500,000 Euros to Nasr's wife.

paragraph: In 2010, leaked diplomatic documents revealed the efforts the United States used in an attempt to stop Italy from indicting the CIA agents, and that Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi assured US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates that he was "working hard to resolve the situation" but that the Italy's judicial system was "dominated by leftists".

paragraph: In July 2013, Robert Seldon Lady was initially detained in Panama at the request of Italian authorities, but then released and allowed to board a flight to the United States.

paragraph: In January 2016, former C.I.A. agent Sabrina De Sousa, one of the agents convicted in Italy, was ordered by Portugal to be extradited to Italy, although that order will be appealed. She was briefly detained at the Lisbon airport in October 2015, and her passport was confiscated pending a court review of the European arrest warrant issued for her arrest. She has disclaimed any involvement in the affair and has been working to clear her name, including writing a memoir about her activities. Her appeal was denied on April 11, 2016. After being detained in Portugal in February 2017 and about to be deported to Italy, she was pardoned by the Italian president and released on 28th February 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Release in February 2007.

paragraph: On 11 February 2007, Nasr's lawyer Montasser el-Zayat confirmed that his client had been released and was now back with his family. After four years of detention, an Egyptian court ruled that his imprisonment was "unfounded."

paragraph: Section::::Conviction in Italy.

paragraph: In December, 2013, Nasr was convicted "in absentia" of terrorism by an Italian court for offenses before his abduction. Egypt had not responded to Italian requests to extradite or even interview Nasr for the trial. Nasr remains living in Egypt and is unlikely to be sent to Italy to serve out his sentence.

categories: 1015 deaths,10th-century Scottish monarchs

paragraph: Owain ap Dyfnwal (died 1015)

paragraph: Owain ap Dyfnwal (died 1015) may have been an eleventh-century ruler of the Kingdom of Strathclyde. He seems to have been a son of Dyfnwal ab Owain, King of Strathclyde, and may well have succeeded Dyfnwal's son, Máel Coluim, King of Strathclyde. During Owain's reign, he would have faced a massive invasion by Æthelræd II, King of the English. Owain's death is recorded in 1015, and seems to have been succeeded by Owain Foel, a man who may have been his nephew.

paragraph: Section::::Uncertain succession of Dyfnwal ap Owain.

paragraph: Owain seems to have been a son of Dyfnwal ab Owain, King of Strathclyde (died 975). For much of the tenth century—possibly from the 930s to the 970s—the latter ruled the Kingdom of Strathclyde. The chronology of Dyfnwal's apparent abdication is uncertain. He seems to have vacated the throne by the 970s. His apparent son, Rhydderch (fl. 971), may have briefly reigned as king, although no source states as much. Certainly, English sources reveal that Dyfnwal's son, Máel Coluim (died 977), ruled in 973 whilst Dyfnwal was still alive. Owain may well have taken up the throne after Máel Coluim's death in 997.

paragraph: Section::::Invasions of Owain's realm.

paragraph: Surviving sources fail to note the Cumbrian kingdom between the obituaries of Dyfnwal in 975 and his son, Máel Coluim, in 997. Little is certain of Owain's apparent reign. Near the turn of the new millennium, Owain may well have been in his fifties or sixties, and seems to have faced an English invasion of his realm. Specifically, the ninth- to twelfth-century "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" reports that Æthelræd II, King of the English (died 1016) unleashed a devastating campaign against the Cumbrian kingdom in 1000. Although the English are said to have ravaged nearly all of the country, the English naval forces based at Chester failed to link up with the land forces—seemingly due to adverse weather conditions—and are recorded to have attacked the Isle of Man instead. On one hand, this island assault could indicate that the English fleet had originally intended to penetrate the Firth of Clyde region before improvising an attack in the Solway Firth. On the other hand, it is possible that the English originally intended to strike out at both the Cumbrians and Islesmen.

paragraph: The specific reasons behind Æthelræd's attack upon the Cumbrians are uncertain. It may have been meant as a message to his northern subjects and neighbours signifying the strength of English royal authority. One possibility is that Æthelræd's invasion concerned Cumbrian support of Scandinavian predatory forces in the area, and that the operation was aimed at Scandinavian outposts in the Irish Sea region. Certainly, the aforesaid annal-entry also notes that an "enemy fleet" departed for Normandy that year, although no context for this movement is given. According to the twelfth-century "Chronicon ex chronicis", the fleet vacated the north prior to Æthelræd's strike, which may well explain why the latter was free to undertake a foreign campaign. In fact, there is reason to suspect that the English had struck a deal with a Scandinavian army seated in England, and thereafter directed one part of this force to engage the Cumbrians and another to attack the Normans.

paragraph: An Irish contemporary of Owain was Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig, High King of Ireland (died 1014). In 1006, he mustered a massive force in southern Ireland and marched throughout the north of the island in a remarkable show of force. A passage preserved by the twelfth-century "Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib" claims that, whilst in the north, Brian's maritime forces levied tribute from Saxons and Britons, and from Argyll, the Lennox, and Alba. This source may be evidence that Brian's Scandinavian forces—perhaps commanded by Sitriuc mac Amlaíb, King of Dublin (died 1042)—campaigned against various Cumbrian-controlled territories, and either the English population of Lothian or the western coast of Northumbria. Just the year before, Máel Coluim mac Cináeda (died 1034) succeeded a kinsman to become King of Alba. The twelfth-century pseudo-prophetic "Prophecy of Berchán" describes this monarch an "enemy of Britons", and within the same passage seems to refer to military actions against the islands of Islay and Arran. This source, therefore, may refer to events related to Brian's apparent overseas operations. It could also be evidence of competition in the region between Brian and his Scottish counterpart.

paragraph: Also in 1006, the eleventh-century "De obsessione Dunelmi" records that the Scots penetrated into Northumbria, and besieged Durham before being beaten back by Uhtred (died 1016×), son of the northern English magnate Waltheof (fl. c.994–1006). The fact that there is no record of Cumbrian involvement in this Scottish enterprise could indicate that the devastation wrought by the English in 1000 had nullified Cumbrian military might. Another possibility is that the Cumbrians had adhered to the conditions of some sort of submission which Æthelræd had exacted from them as a result of his campaign.

paragraph: Section::::Death and the Cumbrian succession.

paragraph: According to the "B" version of the eleventh- to thirteenth-century "Annales Cambriæ", Owain was slain in 1015. This obituary is corroborated by the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century texts "Brut y Tywysogyon" and "Brenhinedd y Saesson". Although the notices of Owain's demise seem to indicate that he was killed in battle, nothing is known of the circumstances. Whilst it is possible that these records refer to the like-named Owain Foel, King of Strathclyde (fl. 1018), there is evidence indicating that this man lived on years afterwards, and there is no reason to disregard the aforesaid obituaries as erroneous. If the like-named men are indeed different people, they could well have been closely related, with the latter perhaps being a son of Owain's brother Máel Coluim. The likelihood that there were indeed two contemporary Cumbrian rulers named "Owain" could account for Owain Foel's epithet (meaning "the bald"). According to the twelfth-century "Historia regum Anglorum", Owain Foel assisted his Scottish counterpart, Máel Coluim mac Cináeda, against the English at the Battle of Carham in 1018.

paragraph: Either Owain himself, or his like-named grandfather Owain ap Dyfnwal, King of Strathclyde (fl. 934), or else their ultimate royal successor Owain Foel may be identical to Owain Caesarius, a legendary figure associated with an assemblage of apparent tenth-century monuments at Penrith collectively known as The Giant's Grave. The nearby site of Castle Hewin (), a place name meaning "Owain's castle" (derived from ""), may well be named after the same man. A seventeenth-century account associates Owain Caesarius with the Giant's Caves, located on the north bank of the River Eamont.

paragraph: Another like-named member of the Cumbrian dynasty may be the Owain ap Dyfnwal who is reported to have been slain in 990 by sources such as the "B" version of "Annales Cambriæ", "Brut y Tywysogyon", and "Brenhinedd y Saesson".

According to the "Prabandha-Kosha" of the 14th century Jain scholar Rajashekhara Suri, Vasudeva ascended the throne in 551 CE (608 Vikram Samvat). The historical accuracy of this statement is not certain.

paragraph: A mythical account in "Prithviraja Vijaya" states that Vasudeva received the Sambhar Salt Lake as a gift from a vidyadhara (a supernatural being). According to this legend, Vasudeva once found a vidyadhara sleeping in the royal bed. A magic pill which gave the vidyadhara the power to fly had fallen from his mouth. Vasudeva handed over this magic pill to the vidyadhara. The grateful vidyadhara introduced himself as the son of Shakambhara. He told Vasudeva that the goddess Parvati, pleased with Shakambhara's devotion, had been residing in the local forest under the name "Shakambhari". The vidyadhara decided to return the favour to Vasudeva. He asked the king to put his sword in the ground at sunset, and ride a horse back to his capital without looking back. The king did as told, and waves of water followed him. The resulting body of water became the salt lake of Sambhar. The vidyadhara appeared before the king, and told him that the lake would remain in the possession of his descendants. The Bijolia inscription of his descendant Someshvara states that the lake was born of Vasudeva.

paragraph: The next known Chahamana king is Samantaraja, whose relationship to Vasudeva is not clear from the available historical records.

paragraph: Francisco de Sande

paragraph: Francisco de Sande Picón (1540 – September 12, 1602) was the third Spanish governor and captain-general of the Philippines from August 25, 1575 to April 1580. He established the Royal City of Nueva Cáceres, now known as Naga City.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: A native of Cáceres and a relative of Álvaro de Sande, he served as attorney, criminal judge, and auditor in Mexico. He succeeded Guido de Lavezaris, a member of the 1543 Ruy López de Villalobos Expedition from Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, México, on August 25, 1575.

paragraph: In 1575, King Philip II of Spain appointed him as the governor-general of the Philippines.

paragraph: Section::::Governorship.

paragraph: One of his first acts of political advocacy was to disestablish vast encomiendas of wealthy Spaniards in the Philippines. In 1576, he issued a decree forbidding all officials appointed by the Crown to own encomiendas that were initially for Indios. He also established the city of Nueva Cáceres, province of Camarines Sur, Bicol region, Island of Luzon, the largest of the some 7,107 islands (under Spanish Administration till 1898, for some 350–370 years), Philippine Islands. A few years after, Spanish and Dominican prelate Domingo de Salazar requested to create monasteries for the Dominicans; this was granted by Sande through King Philip II's royal decree.

paragraph: During his time, the first Augustinian priests arrived to Manila on July 1, 1577, coming from Acapulco, Mexico. Also in 1577, the Church of San Agustin was erected at the same city.

paragraph: He also commissioned an expedition to Borneo in 1578, where the Sultan of Jolo became a vassal of Spain through a peace treaty signed at Río Grande de Mindanao. That same year, he attacked Borneo, and the sultan of that sultanate (present day Brunei) became submissive to the Spanish officials of Manila. He also showed eagerness to conquer Moluccas from the Portuguese as well as China.

paragraph: In 1579, he sent an expedition again, headed by Captain Gabriel de Ribera to Mindanao and Jolo, to secure Moro submission to Spanish authority. He went to the Rio Grande to find nothing but remnants of villages abandoned by the locals. He then established a fortress for the villages and went north to pacify the rebelling Butuanons. Upon his return to Luzon, Ribera met some natives from Jolo with little tribute, saying that they had nothing to give to the Spaniards since the Portuguese Estevan Rodriguez de Figueroa had recently attacked their settlements.

paragraph: In the same year, he denied the Franciscan fathers their burning wishes, after some 19,000 km. travel, to enter China to spread Catholicism, the Chinese being stupefied when some of them disobeyed the Manila Spanish Civil Authorities and arrived at the highly controlled Portuguese trade city of Macao, where they found that they did not carry weapons, money or goods to exchange but only some religious liturgical ware for their own use and Catholic books.

paragraph: He also became an auditor in the Audiencia of Mexico.

paragraph: Magnus I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg

paragraph: Magnus I (1304–1369), called the Pious (Latin "Pius"), was duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

paragraph: The son of Albert the Fat, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Magnus was still a minor when his father died in 1318; he and his brother Ernest were put under the guardianship of their elder brother Otto, who continued as sole ruler even after his brothers came of age. After marrying Sophia, a niece of Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor, Magnus was appointed margrave of Landsberg and count palatine of Saxony by the Emperor in 1333. Magnus took residence at Sangerhausen. When Otto died in 1344, Magnus and Ernest jointly took over government of the state; but already on 17 April 1345, they agreed to divide the territory. Magnus received the Principality of Wolfenbüttel.

paragraph: In 1346, a border war between Wolfenbüttel and the Archbishop of Magdeburg broke out. In exchange for help in this conflict, Magnus sold the Margraviate of Landsberg to Frederick II, Margrave of Meißen. But the Archbishop conquered Schöningen in 1347, and Magnus had to cede Hötensleben and some other possessions to the Archbishop. Financially ruined by the war, Magnus could not stop the cities in the state from acquiring more and more rights; especially the City of Brunswick was becoming more powerful.

paragraph: In 1348, the Emperor gave Landsberg and the Palatinate of Saxony to Bernard, Prince of Anhalt. The ensuing conflict over these territories between Magnus and Bernard ended amicably with a marriage between Magnus' son Magnus and Catherine, daughter of Bernhard III, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg.

paragraph: Magnus attempted to secure the Principality of Lüneburg for his son Louis, so that it could be reunited with Wolfenbüttel. The prince of Lüneburg, William II, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, a member of the same house to which Magnus belonged, the House of Welf, did not have sons; however, he had already promised the principality to a son of his daughter, a relative of the Duke of Saxony, before he agreed to Magnus' plan. Louis then married William's daughter Matilda. A lengthy conflict broke out that culminated in the Lüneburg Succession War, which was resolved only in 1388.

paragraph: In 1367, Magnus joined Dietrich, Archbishop of Magdeburg, Albert, Bishop of Halberstadt, Valdemar, Prince of Anhalt, and others in a campaign against Gerhard of Berg, Bishop of Hildesheim; they were defeated by Hildesheim in a battle near Farmsen and Dinklar on 3 September.() Magnus was taken prisoner, and had to buy his freedom. He died in Summer of 1369.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Jessie Rose

paragraph: Jessie Kate Rose (1875 – 27 May 1928) was an English opera singer and actress primarily known for her work as principal mezzo-soprano in the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. From 1896 to 1899 she originated several mostly smaller roles in Savoy operas and then continued to play a variety of smaller and larger roles in repertory with the company. She was its principal mezzo-soprano from 1904 to 1909.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

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

paragraph: Rose was born in Uxbridge, Middlesex, to Henry Rose, a tinsmith, and his wife Ellen ("née" Masters).

paragraph: She joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1896 in the chorus of a revival of "The Mikado" at the Savoy Theatre. In March of that year she originated the small role of Bertha in "The Grand Duke", and in February 1897 she created another small part, Helena, in "His Majesty" (1897). In August of that year, she married the composer and violinist Percy Elliott; they had a daughter, born in 1898, and a son, born in 1900. At the Savoy, Rose continued to perform in the chorus in the company's repertory productions and also originated the minor roles of Margery in "Old Sarah" (1897–1898) and Oasis (and sometimes covered Princess Laoula) in "The Lucky Star" (1899). In revivals, she played Amelie in "The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein" (1897–98), and Vittoria in "The Gondoliers" (1898). In mid-1899, she toured with the company in "Haddon Hall", probably in the role of Deborah. She then returned to the Savoy until March 1900, playing the larger role of the Plaintiff in "Trial by Jury" (1899) and originating the substantial part of Scent-of-Lilies in "The Rose of Persia" (1899–1900).

paragraph: Rose left D'Oyly Carte for a year and a half, but rejoined the company on tour from 1901 to 1902 as Lady Rosie Pippin in "The Emerald Isle". She then played the Gilbert and Sullivan roles of Isabel in "The Pirates of Penzance", Lady Ella in "Patience", Leila in "Iolanthe", Lady Psyche in "Princess Ida", Peep-Bo in "The Mikado", Kate in "The Yeomen of the Guard", and the leading role of Gianetta in "The Gondoliers". She also understudied and occasionally played the leading roles of Yum-Yum in "The Mikado", and the title role in "Princess Ida". In 1903, she continued to play most of these roles in repertory and added the role of Minnie Hill in "Bob", a curtain raiser that accompanied "Pirates". She also briefly appeared as Pitti-Sing in "The Mikado". In May 1903 her husband abandoned her and their two small children and went to South Africa.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:Principal mezzo-soprano and later years.

paragraph: Although her earlier roles had been in soprano parts, in 1904 Rose became the company's leading mezzo-soprano, touring in the roles of Hebe in "H.M.S. Pinafore", Edith in "Pirates", Lady Angela in "Patience", the title character in "Iolanthe", Melissa in "Princess Ida", Pitti-Sing in "The Mikado", Phoebe in "Yeomen" and Tessa in "The Gondoliers". A review of Rose noted that she "acted and sang charmingly as "Phoebe". ... [A]s "Iolanthe" [she was] especially good and sang splendidly and in faultless tune." In "Bob", she appears to have switched to the role of Lady Mabel. In the company's first London repertory season at the Savoy Theatre (1906–07) she played her same roles in "Yeomen", "The Gondoliers", "Patience" and "Iolanthe". She then returned to the company's repertory touring schedule in all her Gilbert and Sullivan roles. In the company's second London repertory season (1908–09), she played Pitti-Sing, Hebe, Iolanthe, Edith, Tessa and Phoebe. She then continued to tour with the company as principal mezzo-soprano until June 1909.

paragraph: Rose returned to the Savoy under the management of C. H. Workman, originating the roles of Annette in "The Mountaineers" (September to November 1909) and Zayda in "Fallen Fairies" (December 1909 to January 1910). She retired from the stage five days before her second marriage; her second husband was Henry Joseph Ford, a member of a prosperous family of hoteliers. They had one son, born in 1911. Rose's last known public performance was in the role of Iolanthe in a single performance at a charity "Gilbert and Sullivan Pageant" at Cassiobury Park, Hertfordshire in 1919.

paragraph: Franz Duncker

paragraph: Franz Duncker (4 June 1822 – 18 June 1888) was a German publisher, left-liberal politician and social reformer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Family provenance and early years.

paragraph: Franz Gustav Duncker was one of the sons of the publisher Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Duncker. His brothers included the publisher Alexander Duncker, the historian Maximilian Wolfgang Duncker and the Berlin mayor, . Duncker studied Philosophy and :History at Berlin. During this time he joined the "Alt Berliner" student fraternity and in 1842 another student fraternity, the "Leseverein". After this he returned to the family publishing business.

paragraph: In 1848 he served as a captain (""Hauptmann"") in the Berlin Citizen Militia (""Bürgerwehr""). The next year, 1849, he married Karoline Wilhelmine "Lina" Tendering (1828–1885), the granddaughter of a bishop who as "Lina Duncker" would create one of several fashionable political and literary salons in Berlin. A frequent guest was Gottfried Keller who fell in love with Lina's sister Betty Tendering, and later featured her, renamed as Dorothea Schönfund, in his semi-autobiographical novel, "Grüne Heinrich".

paragraph: Franz and Lina Duncker's marriage would also give rise to one recorded child, their daughter Marie, born in 1856.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:The publisher.

paragraph: In 1850 Duncker acquired Wilhelm Besser's "Bessersche Verlags Buchhandlung" publishing business, and in 1853 he acquired from Aaron Bernstein the , a pro-democracy daily newspaper. The world of newspapers was a rapidly evolving one. The Urwähler-Zeitung had been founded only in 1849, and in March 1853 it was banned. Duncker relaunched as a liberal (opposition) voice with a new name as the . As the Berliner Volks-Zeitung the paper continued to be published for nearly a century. By the 1860s circulation had risen to roughly 22,000, making it the number one newspaper in the Prussian capital. The business acquired from Besser also continued to thrive as a book publisher. Works by political philosophers published by Duncker included:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Die Philosophie Herakleitos des Dunklen von Ephesos by Ferdinand Lassalle (1858)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Der italienische Krieg und die Aufgabe Preußens by Ferdinand Lassalle (1859)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Zur Kritik der Politischen Oekonomie by Karl Marx

paragraph: BULLET::::- Po und Rhein, an anonymously published "pamphlet", actually by Friedrich Engels (1858)

paragraph: Control of the publishing business was taken over in 1877 by a man called Wilhelm Hertz. Duncker sold the to in 1885: twenty years later, in 1904, it was acquired by Rudolf Mosse.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:The political activist.

paragraph: Thwarted revolution in 1848 was followed by in Prussia, but the ideas of liberalism and nationalism that had underpinned 1848 never completely disappeared, and Duncker was supportive of both aspirations. In 1858 he was one of the founders of the German National Association, serving on its principal committees till 1867. He was also, in 1861, a founder of the liberal-leaning Progressive Party, serving on its national election committee. He joined the Progressive Party executive committee in 1874.

paragraph: Between 1861 and 1877 Duncker sat as a Progressive Party member in the Prussian House of Representatives, representing the Saarbrücken-Ottweiler electoral district initially and, from 1867, the Berlin 4th electoral district. In 1863 he was a member of the "Committee of 36" that convened in Frankfurt am Main in the context of concern on the part of liberals that the German Confederation was increasingly dominated by its two largest member-states, Prussia and Austria, neither of which was seen as a natural ally in the search for a liberal-nationalist future that preoccupied progressive thinkers at the time.

paragraph: During the 1861 he was strongly opposed to militia (Landwehr) reforms because he feared they would lead to a weakening of citizen spirit which till that time had been a unique corrective against resurgent militarism.

He refused to consider the thought of a surrender given by the Mongolian generals. He was taken to Khanbaliq.
