He continued Kadıköy Anadolu Lisesi which is also commonly known as Kadıköy Maarif College for his high school education in Istanbul following his father's death. After the high school, he attended the State Conservatory in Ankara and graduated in performing arts, in particular (theater).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He started playing the guitar during his high school years. In 1966, Mazhar formed the band "Kaygısızlar" ("The Carefree") along with Fuat Güner and Sadik Kuyas.

Later on, Özkan Uğur joined the band, and in 1972 the trio was renamed MFÖ, after the initials of the members. While Özkan was serving his military duty, Mazhar and Fuat released their first album "Türküz Türkü Çığırırız" ("We are Turkish, we will sing Türkü"). The album song "Güllerin İçinden" ("From in-between the roses") brought the group to a broader audience. In 1974, Galip Boransu and Ayhan Sicimoğlu joined the band, and the quintet took the name İpucu Beşlisi ("Clue Quintet"). However, the band dissolved after a short time, and the group MFÖ continued to play as a trio again.

Sufism items attract attention in his songs, such as "Buselik Makamına", "Uç Oldum", "Adımız Miskindir Bizim" and "Yandım".

paragraph: Komatsuhime

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Komatsuhime was known in her childhood as Inahime (稲姫) and also Onei (於小亥). After witnessing the martial prowess of the Sanada at the First Battle of Ueda Castle, she and her father were captivated by them. Tokugawa Ieyasu himself arranged for Komatsuhime to marry Sanada Nobuyuki, the son of the Sanada lord.

paragraph: In 1600, when Nobuyuki had decided to cast his lot with the Tokugawa, his father Masayuki (who had not done so) was en route to Ueda Castle, accompanied by his other son, the famed Sanada Yukimura. The two stopped at Numata Castle, where Komatsuhime was managing affairs. Komatsuhime challenged Masayuki and Yukimura at the entrance of the Castle moments before of the Siege of Ueda. Masayuki relayed a message to her: "I want to see my grandchildren", and in response, the princess emerged, dressed in full battle attire, saying, "Since we have parted ways in this conflict, though you are my father-in-law I cannot allow you into this castle." Masayuki and Yukimura withdrew to a temple, Shōkaku-ji, and were surprised when they saw Komatsuhime (with her children) arrive soon after them, honoring Masayuki's wish.

paragraph: After the Battle of Sekigahara, during Masayuki and Yukimura's exile, she took charge of sending them food and other daily necessities.

paragraph: Komatsuhime was praised as a good wife and wise mother ("ryōsai kenbo" 良妻賢母). She died in Kōnosu, Musashi Province (the present-day city of Kōnosu in Saitama Prefecture) at age 47, while en route to the Kusatsu hot spring. Nobuyuki lamented her death, saying that "the light of my house has been extinguished." Her grave can be found there. Today, in the museum at Ueda Castle, visitors can see items that she used, including her palanquin.

paragraph: Teodora of Bulgaria, Queen of Serbia

paragraph: Theodora of Bulgaria (Bulgarian and ) was a Bulgarian princess and Queen consort of Serbia, the first wife of Stefan Uroš III Dečanski. She was the second daughter of Tsar Smilets of Bulgaria and Smiltsena Palaiologina.

paragraph: Teodora married Serbian crown prince (later king) Stefan Uroš III (called "Dečanski") on 24 August 1296. They had two children: future Tsar (Emperor) Stefan Dušan and Dušica.

paragraph: In 1314 her husband's father Stefan Milutin quarreled with Stefan, and sent him to Constantinople to be blinded. Teodora and the family went with him and established a household there until 1320 when they were allowed to return.

paragraph: She was present at the state assembly of 6 January 1322, when her son Dušan was crowned Young king. In this period, Dečanski and Teodora were divorced. It is very likely that, between the death of Milutin (29 October 1321) and the crowning of Dušan, it was decided that Teodora be divorced from her husband due to the fact that Teodora's father's family had by then been expelled from Bulgaria, and Dečanski sought to empower himself by marrying into the Byzantine royal family. He then married Maria Palaiologina.

paragraph: It is still unknown when Teodora died. She was alive on 6 January 1322, and according to M. Vukićević and S. Ćosović died prior to January 1323. Historian Stojan Novaković earlier based the death in the winter of 1322–23 on the talks of Dečanski marrying Phillip of Tarento in the beginning of 1323. Other believe she lived longer, possibly marrying Jovan Dragoslav between 1322 and 1326. It is believed she was buried in the Banjska monastery.

paragraph: Nicholas J. Cutinha

paragraph: Nicholas Joseph Cutinha (January 13, 1945 – March 2, 1968) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Cutinha joined the Army from Coral Gables, Florida in 1967, and by March 2, 1968, was serving as a Specialist Four in Company C, 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. During a firefight on that day, near Gia Dinh in the Republic of Vietnam, Cutinha held the enemy at bay with his machine gun and provided suppressive fire to allow for the evacuation of wounded soldiers, despite his own serious wounds. He was killed during the battle and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.

paragraph: Cutinha, age 23 at his death, was buried in Fort Denaud Cemetery, Fort Denaud, Florida.

paragraph: Cutinha's Medal of Honor is under the custodianship of American Legion Post 130 in LaBelle, Florida, where it is on public display. American Legion Post 130 (Florida) is the only known American Legion Post with custodianship of a Medal of Honor. Cutinha's medal was presented to the Post by his mother so that it could be displayed and so all who view it might remember that "the price of freedom is often paid with the blood of a nation's youth". On November 22, 2008, American Legion Post 130 held a commemorative ceremony in honor of Cutinha.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: Specialist Cutinha's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. While serving as a machine gunner with Company C, Sp4c. Cutinha accompanied his unit on a combat mission near Gia Dinh. Suddenly his company came under small arms, automatic weapons, mortar and rocket propelled grenade fire, from a battalion size enemy unit. During the initial hostile attack, communication with the battalion was lost and the company commander and numerous members of the company became casualties. When Sp4c. Cutinha observed that his company was pinned down and disorganized, he moved to the front with complete disregard for his safety, firing his machine gun at the charging enemy. As he moved forward he drew fire on his own position and was seriously wounded in the leg. As the hostile fire intensified and half of the company was killed or wounded, Sp4c. Cutinha assumed command of all the survivors in his area and initiated a withdrawal while providing covering fire for the evacuation of the wounded. He killed several enemy soldiers but sustained another leg wound when his machine gun was destroyed by incoming rounds. Undaunted, he crawled through a hail of enemy fire to an operable machine gun in order to continue the defense of his injured comrades who were being administered medical treatment. Sp4c. Cutinha maintained this position, refused assistance, and provided defensive fire for his comrades until he fell mortally wounded. He was solely responsible for killing 15 enemy soldiers while saving the lives of at least 9 members of his own unit. Sp4c. Cutinha's gallantry and extraordinary heroism were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

paragraph: Lamberto Alvarez

paragraph: Lamberto Alvarez (born March 21, 1953) is an American painter, sculptor, photographer, musician and author of Mexican-American descent living in Texas. "Lamberto" is his registered trademark. He was one of three Latinos chosen by the Walt Disney Company in 2004 to create a life-size statue to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Mickey Mouse.

paragraph: He was also a contributor to the "San Jose Mercury News"s 1985 Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative series of articles "The Hidden Billions" about massive corruption in the government of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos and his hidden wealth in the United States and abroad.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Lamberto was born in El Paso, Texas, to Lamberto Alvarez Sr. and Ana Espino. Although a native-born American who claims El Paso as his hometown, Lamberto spent his earliest years in neighboring Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, his mother's hometown. Divided by the customs bridges, Lamberto Sr. commuted for several years from Juarez to work for an American construction company as a cement finisher. Although it was not common for American citizens to live in Mexico when they could legally live in the United States, Ana's bond with her own parents was strong, and it provided the foundation for Lamberto's study and knowledge of the Spanish language.

paragraph: In his early grades, Lamberto attended Escuela Narcisa Primero, a strict yet creative private school in Juarez, which catered to gifted students and instilled in him both discipline and a love of the arts. Young Lamberto became a distinguished student in the arts, math and science, and became fluent in Spanish. At age 6, he also discovered the magic of art from his parents, who both possessed a gift for drawing. They would spend weekend evenings entertaining their children by drawing and scribbling around the kitchen table.

paragraph: At age 11, his family moved to El Paso, where his teachers noticed his gift for math and art. He attended Southloop Elementary School, a predominantly Latino school, and quickly became fluent in English. With encouragement from his mother and his friends, Lamberto learned to play the guitar and formed a band called "The Finks". He also learned to play the bass guitar and the drums, and continued to play in bands for much of his adult life.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Lamberto graduated from Ysleta High School in 1972, where he was an active art student, participating in many art projects and contests.

paragraph: Lamberto attended the University of Texas at El Paso, studying fine art and photography. During college, he was heavily influenced by surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, which is revealed in some of his early oil paintings. Diego Rivera, Picasso and Jackson Pollock also influenced his later, more mature body of work.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1975, during his junior year of college, Lamberto was hired by the "El Paso Times" as an artist and photographer. Lamberto worked at the "Times" for several years, producing artwork for all sections of the newspaper. The body of artwork he established at the "Times" was integral in his being hired by "San Jose Mercury News" in San Jose, California. After five years with "The Mercury News", Lamberto became an art director at the "Fort Worth Star-Telegram" and later at "The Dallas Morning News".

paragraph: During his time in Fort Worth, Lamberto began to broaden the scope of his artwork to include children's books, national magazines and college textbooks. In 2004, he made the leap from publications to fine art and now works as a painter of figurative and abstract fine art, and creator of stained concrete art, assemblage art and three-dimensional sculptures.

paragraph: Lamberto and his artist son, Beto Alvarez, collaborated on creating illustrations for a children's book entitled "Muffler Man", or "El Hombre Mofle", published by Arte Publico Press of the University of Houston. Both father and son worked together for several years at "The Dallas Morning News", Lamberto as Director of Illustration and Beto as a news illustrator.

paragraph: Both father and son also were accepted in an international show sponsored by Nordstrom entitled "El Amor Ahora", ("Love Now"), a celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month. They were invited to participate in the annual show from 2004–2006.

paragraph: Lamberto also illustrated another children's book for Arte Publico, "Dancing Miranda", or "Baila Miranda, Baila".

paragraph: In addition to his work with newspapers, Lamberto's artwork has been published by "Time" magazine, Harcourt Brace College Publishers, "The Boston Globe", "Los Angeles Times", Scholastic Books, Arte Publico Press, among many others.

paragraph: With author Michael H. Price, Lamberto contributed to a self-published novel entitled ""Muñeca: An Anthology of Crime Stories"".

paragraph: Lamberto, who owns a fine art studio, Lamberto Art and Design, has received attention from the media for his innovative acid-stain concrete art (www.acidstainconcreteart.com). These concrete creations are an outgrowth of the work he created in scratchboard in the early 1990s, marked with Lamberto's distinctive style of using motion, color and bold strokes. Lamberto explores many art forms, including assemblage artwork, sculpture, music, photography, literature, songwriting and design.

paragraph: Lamberto's publishing company is Solare Media, which publishes inspirational schoolbook covers for children in need of positive role models. The Shining Star Heroes book cover series depicts heroes from all walks of life who are encouraging examples for children to follow.

paragraph: In 2006, Lamberto was involved in a year-long event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Southlake, Texas, the city in which he currently resides. He designed and painted three longhorn statues, with the help of his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter, Veronica, to represent the sponsors that selected him to paint their longhorns: Verizon, Sabre Holdings and Aeristo.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Accomplishments.

paragraph: During his time working in the newspaper industry, Lamberto received many illustration and design awards, most notably from the Society for News Design (SND), the Associated Press, "Print" Regional Design Annual, the Headliners and the Associated Press Managing Editors. Lamberto also was a contributor to a 1985 Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative article "The Hidden Billions", about Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos of the Philippines, which was published while he was working for "The San Jose Mercury News".

paragraph: Lamberto came into the national spotlight as a personality when he was involved in the Walt Disney Company's 75th anniversary celebration of Mickey Mouse — the "75 InspEARations" celebration. He was invited to create a life-size statue of Mickey Mouse in his own style, which he called "El Mickey". Lamberto was one of 75 celebrities, and one of only three Latinos, involved in the project. Lamberto's "El Mickey", number 66, represented the Dallas/Fort Worth-based Disney Radio station. The 75 statues were exhibited throughout the United States for one year and are on permanent public display at Disneyland in California. Although the statues reside at Disneyland, they were auctioned at Sotheby's in New York to raise money for a variety of charities; proceeds from the sale of "El Mickey" benefited the "Make-A-Wish Foundation." Mickey Mouse, as a pop culture icon, was visited by millions. Other celebrities participating in this event included John Travolta, Ben Affleck, Elton John, Kelly Ripa, Tom Hanks, George Lopez, Shaquille O'Neal, Jamie Lee Curtis and Andy García.

paragraph: Marquise-Thérèse de Gorla

paragraph: Marquise-Thérèse de Gorla, also known under her stage name "Mademoiselle Du Parc" (1633 – Paris, 11 December 1668), was a French actress and ballet dancer. She was one of the stars of Molière's company. She was also known for her love affairs and as an object of affection for many famous people.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She was the daughter of Giacomo Gorla, who was an "operator" in Lyon in 1635. She seems to have started as a dancer and actress in a travelling troupe, before becoming a member of Molière's company in the city of Lyon. On February 23, 1653 she married one of her colleagues in the troupe, René Berthelot, who had the stage name "Du Parc". After the marriage she also took on the stage name as Mlle. Du Parc. He was an actor who specialized in playing the roles of servants. Gorla was the subject of many poems by Corneille.

paragraph: The troupe of Molière, having arrived at Paris, Du Parc performed before the monarch October 24, 1658 in the Louvre in the role of Hippolytus, and then before the public at the Petit Bourbon. In 1659–1660. The Du Parc couple was active in the Theatre du Marais. Around Easter 1660, they returned to the Molière's troupe, where she was the star performing lead roles in plays as well as ballets.

paragraph: Larousse and Lyonnet both relate the following testimony: "She made some notable antics, because we saw her legs and part of her thighs through its split skirt on both sides, with silk stockings attached to the top of panties", something which aroused great attention by contemporaries.

paragraph: She suddenly left the band to join that of the Hôtel de Bourgogne and author Jean Racine. This quasi-kidnapping was the result of a quarrel between Racine and Molière. The latter, 18 years older, had provided the first aid, support, advice and sometimes its best actors.

paragraph: Racine wrote the role of Andromaque specifically for her. She died suddenly as one of the greatest stars in France. She was suspected to have been poisoned, but the probable cause of death seems to have been a miscarriage or an incompetent abortion. During the Poison Affair, Racine was pointed out by La Voisin, who claimed that he had poisoned de Gorla, but this claim was never examined

paragraph: She is the subject of the 1997 French language film "Marquise".

paragraph: Jonathan Hunt (Vermont congressman)

paragraph: Jonathan Hunt (August 12, 1787 – May 15, 1832) was an American lawyer and politician from Vermont. He was a member of the United States House of Representatives for the state of Vermont and was a member of the prominent Hunt family of Vermont.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Vernon, Windham County, Vermont, Hunt graduated from Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1807. Afterwards, Hunt studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1812. Hunt commenced practice in Brattleboro, Vermont in 1812. He was the first president of the Old Brattleboro Bank in 1821, the first bank established in Brattleboro, a position he held for years afterward. He also carried the rank of General in the Vermont militia, as had his uncle Arad Hunt.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Hunt held many political positions in Vermont, and served as a member of the Vermont House of Representatives in 1811, 1816, 1817, and 1824. He was elected as an Adams candidate to represent Vermont's 1st congressional district in 1827. He served in the United States House of Representatives during the Twentieth, Twenty-first, and Twenty-second Congresses, serving from March 4, 1827 until his death on May 15, 1832.

paragraph: Hunt was a lifelong friend of statesman and orator Daniel Webster. The brick home that Hunt had built in Brattleboro, later known as the Colonel Hooker home, was the first brick home built in town.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Hunt died in Washington D.C. on May 15, 1832 while still in office. At his death he left an estate valued in excess of $150,000. He was buried in the family plot in the Old Cemetery on the Hill in Brattleboro, Vermont.

paragraph: Section::::Family life.

paragraph: A graduate of Dartmouth, Hunt served as a trustee of Vermont's Middlebury College, where Hunt family members had been early benefactors.

paragraph: Hunt was the son of Jonathan Hunt and Lavinia (Swan) Hunt. His father was born in Massachusetts and was an early pioneer and land speculator in Vermont. He served as Lieutenant Governor of Vermont from 1794–1796. Hunt's uncle was composer and poet Timothy Swan, and his aunt was married to U.S. Congressman Lewis R. Morris.

paragraph: Hunt married Jane Maria Leavitt of Suffield, Connecticut. She was part of the New England Dwight family which was heavily involved in the shipping business and in the purchase of the Western Reserve. Jane's father, Thaddeus Leavitt, was a successful merchant whose clipper ships traded with the West Indies. He invented an early cotton gin and was one of the principal purchasers of the Western Reserve lands in Ohio.

paragraph: Hunt and his wife Jane had five children: artist Jane Maria Hunt, physician Jonathan Hunt, painter William Morris Hunt, architect Richard Morris Hunt and early photographer and New York attorney Leavitt Hunt. Following Hunt's death, his wife took their children to Geneva, Paris and Rome for an extended Grand Tour that stretched into a dozen years. The Hunt children were able to study the arts in European academies and become part of an American expatriate community in Europe. Four of Hunt's children returned to America. The fifth, his namesake son Jonathan, remained in Paris, where he studied medicine at the University of Paris and subsequently practiced medicine until his early death, a suicide in 1874. (Jonathan Hunt's son William Morris Hunt also committed suicide, at the Isles of Shoals in New Hampshire.) Hunt's nephew was Chicago architect Jarvis Hunt.

paragraph: TAKI 183

paragraph: TAKI 183 is the "tag" of a Greek-American graffitist who was active during the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York City. The graffitist, whose given name is Demetrius, has never revealed his full name.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: TAKI 183 was active during the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York City. His tag was short for "Dimitraki", an alternative for his Greek birth-name Dimitrios, and the number 183 came from his address on 183rd Street in Washington Heights. He worked as a foot messenger in New York City and would write his nickname around the streets that he frequented.

paragraph: On July 21, 1971, "The New York Times" published an article about him titled ""Taki 183" Spawns Pen Pals." TAKI 183 spurred hundreds of imitators including Joe 136, BARBARA 62, EEL 159, YANK 135 and LEO 136 as examples provided by the newspaper. Those who got their names up the most and who developed signature tags became known in their communities. Graffiti became a way for many young people to try to get attention and the attention TAKI 183 received spurred this on.

paragraph: TAKI was last known to be the owner of a foreign car repair shop. In an interview with the "New York Daily News" of April 9, 1989, he talked about his retirement as a graffiti writer: "As soon as I got into something more productive in my life, I stopped. Eventually I got into business, got married, bought a house, had a kid. Didn't buy a station wagon, but I grew up, you could say that."

paragraph: It is rumoured he was an inspiration for the 1985 film "Turk 182."

paragraph: His graffiti appeared in the 1985 movie "Just One of the Guys." It appears on a bathroom stall wall after Joyce's character Terry uses the restroom for the first time as a man.

paragraph: Pierre Sonnerat

paragraph: Pierre Sonnerat (18 August 1748 – 31 March 1814) was a French naturalist, colonial administrator, writer and explorer. He described numerous species of plants and animals on his travels and is honoured in the genus "Sonneratia" and in other specific names such as that of the grey junglefowl "Gallus sonneratii."

paragraph: Section::::Life and travels.

paragraph: Sonnerat was born in Lyon and was the nephew of the botanist Pierre Poivre (mother of Pierre Sonnerat, Benoîte Poivre, was a cousine of Pierre Poivre) who was a French colonial administrator in the Mascarenes. Sonnerat became a private secretary to his uncle Pierre and made several voyages to southeast Asia, visiting the Philippines and Moluccas between 1769 and 1772. In Mauritius Sonnerat met the naturalist Philibert Commerson in 1767 and worked for him briefly, travelling to Reunion. He then worked as a naval commissar and travelled to India and China from 1774 to 1781 with a base in Yanam and Pondicherry. From 1781 to 1785 he was in France where he married Marguerite Ménissier. In 1786 he was posted in Pondicherry. Travelling around the Cape of Good Hope, he examined parts of southern Africa, southern India and Sri Lanka. In 1789 he was posted at Yanam and in 1795 he was briefly held prisoner of war by the English administration as England and France had gone to war. Sonnerat returned to Europe in 1813, meeting Joseph Banks in London and returned to Paris in 1814 where he died.

paragraph: Section::::Natural history.

paragraph: Sonnerat collected bird and plant specimens on his travels. He was the first person to give a scientific description of the south Chinese fruit tree lychee. It has been claimed that Sonnerat misinterpreted the call of a helpful Malagasy guide who had spotted a lemur and shouted "indri!" ("look!" in Malagasy). Sonnerat supposedly took this by "mistake" to be the animal's name, and it was called the Indri ("Indri indri"). This claim has been re-examined and it would appear that Sonnerat actually recorded a local name "endrina" which is still in use. The birds "Dacelo novaeguineae" and "Pygoscelis papua", neither of which are found in New Guinea (Papua), were also misnamed due to Sonnerat. His books included "Voyage à la Nouvelle-Guinée" (1776) and "Voyage aux Indes orientales et à la Chine, fait depuis 1774 jusqu'à 1781" (1782). The standard botanical author abbreviation Sonn. is applied to plants he described. His name is used in the specific name of the grey junglefowl ("Gallus sonneratii").

paragraph: A species of shrew in the genus "Crocidura" (or "Diplomesodon") which has been described based on his manuscripts as "Diplomesodon sonnerati" is thought to have become extinct and was collected from around Pondicherry.

paragraph: Harrison was born in La Porte, Indiana, and spent most of her childhood home schooled; but she attended La Porte High School, and graduated. As a child, she studied under Victor Heinze, eventually commuting between La Porte and Chicago to continue lessons with him. She spent most of her time in Berlin performing recitals and performing with the Berlin Philharmonic. She later returned to the United States, and while performing in Chicago received sponsorship to travel back to Europe. During the next several years, Harrison continued her studies with in Berlin. Van Dalan arranged for Harrison to have an audition with Italian composer and pianist Ferruccio Busoni; after hearing her, Busoni, who had previously refused to accept more students, decided to oversee her training. She then began performing as a concert pianist both in Europe and the U.S., eluding much recognition in the U.S. in spite of the fact that she was lauded in the black press.

paragraph: In 1931, Harrison accepted a job as the head of the piano department at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Ralph Ellison took a comment by Harrison as the starting point for one of his essays, The Little Man at Chehaw Station.

paragraph: In 1936 she moved to Washington, D.C. and accepted a teaching job at Howard University, where she remained until retirement in 1955. While teaching, Harrison still performed in the United States, and after retirement she accepted positions at Alabama A&M University and Jackson College.

paragraph: Joseph R. Cistone

paragraph: Joseph Robert Cistone (May 18, 1949 – October 16, 2018) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the sixth Bishop of Saginaw, Michigan from 2009 - 2018.

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

paragraph: Joseph Cistone was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Daniel A. and Josephine R. (née Altomare) Cistone, Sr. One of three children, he has two brothers, Daniel and Anthony. He attended Our Lady of Consolation School and graduated from Father Judge High School in 1967. He then studied at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, from where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy (1971) and Master's in Divinity (1975).

paragraph: Section::::Priesthood.

paragraph: Cistone was ordained to the priesthood by John Cardinal Krol on May 17, 1975. He then served as parochial vicar at Epiphany of Our Lord Parish (1975–1979) and chaplain at St. Maria Goretti High School (1977–1979) in Philadelphia. He became parochial vicar at St. Jerome Parish in 1979, and advocate on the metropolitan tribunal in 1980.

paragraph: From 1982 to 1987, Cistone served as parochial vicar at St. Jude Parish in Chalfont, member of the admissions board for the Archdiocesan Permanent Diaconate Program, and Newman Chaplain at Delaware Valley College of Science. He was also Defender of the Bond on the metropolitan tribunal (1983–1989), and parochial vicar at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Norristown (1987–1989) and St. Bernard Parish in Philadelphia (1989–1991). In 1991, he became Dean of Formation for the Theology Division of St. Charles Seminary.

He was raised to the rank of Honorary Prelate of His Holiness in April 1998.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia.

paragraph: On June 28, 2004, Cistone was appointed an Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia and Titular Bishop of "Casae Medianae" by Pope John Paul II. Cistone received his episcopal consecration on the following July 28 from Justin Cardinal Rigali, with Bishops Robert Maginnis and Michael Burbidge serving as co-consecrators, in the Cathedral-Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul. He selected as his episcopal motto: ""Father of Mercy and Love"". In addition to his duties as vicar general and vicar for administration, Cistone served as head of the Secretariat for Catholic Human Services and the Secretariat for Temporal Services. He also had pastoral oversight for parishes in South Philadelphia and a portion of Delaware County.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Bishop of Saginaw.

paragraph: Cistone was later named the sixth Bishop of Saginaw, Michigan, by Pope Benedict XVI on May 20, 2009. He succeeded Robert J. Carlson (who was appointed Archbishop of St. Louis the previous April), and was installed on July 28, 2009. As Bishop, he serves as the spiritual leader for 120,000 Catholics in Central Michigan. Within the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Cistone was a member of the Committee for Protection of Children and Young People, Committee for Cultural Diversity in the Church, Subcommittee for African-American Affairs, and Committee on Budget and Finance.

paragraph: In 2011, Bishop Cistone appointed a 19-member commission to make recommendations about parish closings. In January 2013, Cistone announced that many of the diocese's 105 parishes would be closed, reducing the number of parishes to 56. "I saw a need to position ourselves in a way by which parish communities are re-invigorated, liturgically alive and actively engaged in outreach to those in need." However, many Catholics were angered by Cistone's announcement, holding protests against the parish closings. Retired priests spoke out against the parish closures, calling the recommendations a "complete injustice" and stating that nobody "on the planning commission or the Bishop understand." Reportedly, 5,000 people in the Saginaw Diocese left the Catholic Church between 2013 and 2015.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Death.

paragraph: Cistone died suddenly at his home in Saginaw, Michigan, on October 16, 2018, aged 69 from lung cancer. However, no autopsy was performed to determine cause of death, which raised questions about the facts. Michigan Catholic Conference president labelled his death as "unexpected passing".

paragraph: Section::::Grand Jury Report.

paragraph: According to a 2005 grand jury investigation into clergy sexual abuse, while serving as assistant vicar for administration in 1996, Cistone was involved with silencing a nun who tried to alert parishioners at St. Gabriel parish about abuse by a priest. A week after being named to lead the Diocese of Saginaw, Cistone was asked by a mid-Michigan newspaper reporter about the grand jury investigation and his reported role in covering up instances of sexual abuse. Cistone expressed unhappiness with how little opportunity he had been given to respond to the report, saying, "Unfortunately, the grand jury procedure, as followed in Philadelphia, did not allow for any opportunity to address such questions to offer explanation or clarification." Cistone also expressed surprise that he had not been questioned about the grand jury report during his introductory press conference and told the reporter, "Had it come up, I certainly would have addressed it." However, when given the opportunity to answer questions about his actions by the newspaper reporter, Cistone refused to answer specific questions on the matter.

paragraph: On June 9, 2009, a group of survivors of clergy abuse protested Cistone's appointment outside the Saginaw Diocese office. Members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) demanded that Cistone hold a public forum to explain his actions as described in the 2005 grand jury report. SNAP President Barbara Blaine said the actions had to be taken because, "the innocence of children was shattered needlessly because of the action and inaction of this bishop." In response to the group's calls for transparency, Cistone said, "If someone wants to go back and rehash what the church may have done based on knowledge and experience or lack of experience the church had, well, that's OK, but that's not productive. What's productive is what we can do to move forward."

paragraph: On August 31, 2009, representatives of SNAP invited Bishop Cistone to attend a town hall meeting and participate in a discussion on the topic of clergy abuse. The town hall meeting was scheduled to be held on October 25, 2009. The group asked Bishop Cistone to disclose the whereabouts of two priests accused of sexual abuse.

paragraph: Section::::Grand Jury Report.:Alleged abuse at Bishop's home parish.

paragraph: A maintenance worker alleged that in July 2009, he was groped, kissed and sat on by a deacon in the rectory of the Cathedral of St. Mary in Saginaw. The Cathedral is the home parish of Bishop Cistone. The maintenance worker reported that after he went to the rector of the parish with his allegations, he was fired from his position in retaliation. The rector of the Cathedral later resigned from his post in November 2009, taking a leave of absence from active ministry. Bishop Cistone explained that the rector's resignation was due to "personal health" issues. Cistone made no further comment on the allegations made by the Cathedral maintenance worker.

paragraph: Section::::Grand Jury Report.:Named Sexual Abuse "Kingpin" in 2012.

paragraph: In August 2012, Cistone was named in a lawsuit surrounding clergy sex abuse allegations at his former assignment in Philadelphia. Cistone was described by Philadelphia attorney Slade McLaughlin as a "kingpin" of the Catholic sex abuse cases. Press reports indicate that he admitted that in 1994 he watched as Church records with the names of abusers were shredded.

paragraph: Section::::Grand Jury Report.:Search Warrant 2018.

paragraph: In March 2018, the Bishop's home was searched by police who cited his lack of cooperation in their investigation of sexual abuse in the Church.

paragraph: Bruce Anderson (soldier)

paragraph: Bruce Anderson (June 19, 1845 – August 22, 1922) was an African American Union Army soldier in the American Civil War and a recipient of America's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during the Second Battle of Fort Fisher.

paragraph: After working as a farmer in New York Anderson joined the military to fight in the Civil War and volunteered with a group of other soldiers to eliminate a palisade that was blocking the advance of his unit. After completing the mission and destroying the palisade, Anderson and twelve others were recommended for the Medal of Honor but the paperwork was lost. Anderson hired an attorney to get the Medal and he and two other soldiers received it in 1914.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Anderson was born June 19, 1845 in Mexico City but by the beginning of the Civil War was working as a farmer in New York. He enlisted for service in the military from Schenectady on August 31, 1864 as a private in Company K, 142nd New York Volunteer Infantry. Anderson has the unusual, but not unique, distinction of being an African American soldier who served in a white Civil War regiment.

paragraph: On January 15, 1865, Anderson participated in the Union's second attack on Fort Fisher in North Carolina. He and twelve other men answered a call for volunteers to advance ahead of the main attack and cut down the palisade which blocked their path. Despite intense fire from the Confederate defenders, Anderson and the others were successful in destroying the obstacle. General Adelbert Ames recommended all thirteen men for the Medal of Honor, but his report was misplaced and not all of the medals were issued.

paragraph: Forty-nine years after the end of the war, in 1914, Anderson hired a lawyer in an effort to receive the Medal of Honor. One of the other soldiers in the palisade-cutting group, Private Zachariah C. Neahr, had successfully petitioned for the award decades earlier. At Anderson's prompting, the Adjutant General of the Army launched an investigation which uncovered General Ames' letter of recommendation and sought out the other men of the group. Three men, Alaric B. Chapin, George Merrill, and Dewitt C. Hotchkiss, were found to be still alive and were, along with Anderson, again recommended for the medal. Anderson, Merrill, and Chapin were each issued the Medal of Honor on December 28, 1914; Hotchkiss' recommendation was overlooked a second time, and he was never decorated.

paragraph: Anderson lived for a time in Illinois, but eventually returned to New York and settled there in the city of Amsterdam. He died August 22, 1922 at age 77 in St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, New York, and was buried at Green Hill Cemetery in Amsterdam.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Private Bruce Anderson, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism on 15 January 1865, while serving with Company K, 142d New York Infantry, in action at Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Private Anderson voluntarily advanced with the head of the column and cut down the palisading.

paragraph: Bodegisel

paragraph: Bodegisel or Bodygisil (died 585 or 588) was a Frankish duke ("dux"). He was the son of Mummolin, duke of Soissons, and served the kings Chilperic I and Childebert II. According to Hans-Walter Herrmann and Ulrich Nonn, confusion between Bodegisel and a later duke named Bobo is responsible for the semi-legendary duke Boggis who appears in sources from the ninth century on. Bobo was a member of an illustrious Austrasian family and a nephew of the deacon Adalgisel Grimo (died 634), but where his dukedom was located is unknown.

paragraph: Bodegisel was "dux" of Provence. He was celebrated in song by the contemporary poet Venantius Fortunatus, who praised the education and eloquence he displayed as "rector" of Marseilles under Sigebert I, a position Bodegisel held until about 565.

paragraph: In 584, Bodegisel accompanied Rigunth, the daughter of Chilperic, to Spain for her marriage to Reccared, the son of the Visigothic king Liuvigild, although the marriage never took place. After his return, he was sent on an embassy to Constantinople (capital of the Byzantine Empire) on behalf of Childebert, who had succeeded Chilperic in the interim. Bodegisel stopped at Carthage on the return trip, and he was murdered there, being torn to pieces by a mob. A.C. Murray, paraphrasing Gregory, says he was struck with a sword as he stepped outside their lodging when a crowd gathered in response to the murder of a merchant committed by one of their retainers.

paragraph: The bishop and contemporary historian Gregory of Tours records that Bodegisel was able to accomplish the unusual feat of passing on his estate to his heirs undiminished.

paragraph: According to the thirteenth-century "Vita sanctae Odae viduae", Saint Chrodoara was married to a certain duke Boggis and became a nun after his death. According to Herrmann and Nonn, Chrodoara may have been the wife of Bodegisel. Writing in the eleventh century, Sigebert of Gembloux named Boggis a duke of Aquitaine and misplaces his life towards 711. The "Vita Landberti episcopi Traiectensis", a life of Bishop Lambert of Maastricht, refers to "Chrodoara ... widow of the recently deceased Boggis, duke of Aquitaine" as a "friend" of Lambert's. A spurious charter of king Charles the Bald dated 30 January 845 and the "Charte d'Alaon", a modern fabrication, give Bodegisel/Boggis a genealogy that makes him a son of king Charibert II and gives him a brother named Bertrand who succeeded him.

paragraph: Christopher Angelus

paragraph: Christopher Angelus (Gastune, 157? - Oxford 1 February 1638), or Christophoros Angelos (Christopher Angel) was a native of the Peloponnesus, who was persecuted by the Ottoman governor of Athens. Like several of his compatriots, he found refuge in the Jacobean universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: After periods spent in Athens, where he was tortured by the Ottoman authorities, and briefly in Flanders, he sailed in an English ship for Yarmouth in 1608. The Bishop and other clergy of Norwich received him hospitably (he claimed to have received a gold coin from the bishop), and he was sent with an introduction by the bishop to the Hellenists in Cambridge, arriving in Trinity College, Cambridge.

paragraph: He moved, for the sake of his health, to Oxford in 1610, where he matriculated in Balliol College and read Greek with the younger students. He appears to have been settled in Oxford by 1617. He spent most of the remainder of his life there (with periods in Cambridge) until his death on 1 February 1638, where he was buried at St. Ebbe's church on Candlemas Day, leaving the character of ‘a pure Grecian and an honest and harmless man.’

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Angelos wrote several successful works in Greek, the most well known of which, describing the contemporary state of the Greek church, was originally published in Cambridge as an Encheiridion in 1619 but received wider European circulation due to its Latin translation of the 1655 'Status et Ritus Ecclesiae Graecae' by George Fehlau (Fhelavius). In his lifetime, Angelos was probably better known for his 'Ponesis' (suffering), graphically describing his treatment at the hands of the Turks. This contains a lithography of his torment and of a symbolic Britannia. This was published at Oxford in 1617, whereas his 'An Encomium of the famous Kingdome of Great Britaine and of the two flourishing Sister-Universities Cambridge and Oxford' (principal text in Greek) was not surprisingly printed by Cantrel Legge for the University of Cambridge in 1619.

paragraph: A study of Apostasy (also in Greek) appeared in London in 1624. Examples of his work are:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Of the many Stripes and Torments inflicted on Christopher Angelus by the Turks for the faith which he had in Jesus Christ", Oxford, 1617.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "An Encomium of the famous Kingdome of Great Britaine, and of the two flourishing sister Universities, Oxford and Cambridge", Cambridge, 1619. Both these are in Greek and English.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Enchiridion de Institutis Græcorum", Cambridge, 1619; an account in Greek and Latin of the rites of the Greek church. A Latin version by George Fhelan was published at Frankfort, 1655, "Status et Ritus Ecclesiæ Græcæ", and an enlarged edition of the latter version, called "De Statu hodiernorum Græcorum Enchiridion", at Leipzig in 1679 in Cyprius's "Chronicon Ecclesiæ Græcæ".

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Labor Christophori Angeli, Græci, de Apostasia Ecclesiæ et de homine peccati, scilicet Antichristi", &c., London, 1624; an attempt to identify Mahomet with Antichrist, and to prove that the last Mahomet will be destroyed in 1876.

paragraph: Georgios Stanotas (, January 1, 1888 – 1965) was a Greek cavalry officer who rose to the rank of Lieutenant General.

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

paragraph: He was born in the village of Kastanitsa, in the prefecture of Arcadia in the Peloponnese. He left his village early and went to Athens, where, in 1909, he joined the Hellenic Army as a simple cavalry trooper. He was an excellent rider, intelligent and bold, and soon he was promoted to non-commissioned officer. As such he participated in the First and Second Balkan Wars in 1912-1913, where he went up the ranks quickly due to his bravery.

paragraph: In 1914, he entered and graduated from the NCO Academy and was promoted to second lieutenant of cavalry. In 1917 he was promoted to captain, but as an avowed royalist, so in 1917, after the ousting of King Constantine I during the National Schism, he was suspended from the army for 6 months.

paragraph: In the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922, he demonstrated courage and extremely brave actions and initiative, so he received medals and decorations and became well known. He was promoted to major in 1923. Although in the military, in 1924 he enrolled into Athens University in the Pharmaceutics department. In 1927 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and was appointed as Cavalry School Commander, while in 1929 he took command of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment in Larissa. In the following year, he was promoted to colonel and in 1933 he took command of the Cavalry Brigade. He was promoted to major general in 1938 and was appointed as CO of the Cavalry Division in Thessaloniki in 1939.

paragraph: Section::::Second World War and after.

paragraph: In the Greco-Italian War of 1940, the Cavalry Division achieved the first great victory in the Battle of Pindus, being instrumental in the defeat of the elite Italian "Julia" Alpine Division.

His combat achievements gave him a great reputation among his colleagues.

paragraph: In 1943, he escaped from occupied Greece and through Turkey and Lebanon, he arrived in Cairo, where he joined the Greek Armed Forces in exile. There he was appointed as Inspector General of the Army. He retired in January 1945, after the liberation of Greece.

paragraph: In 1947, when Greece was in the middle of the Greek Civil War, he was recalled to duty and was appointed as Commanding General of the Peloponnese.
