paragraph: Anna Catherine Parnell

paragraph: Anna Catherine Parnell (13 May 1852 – 20 September 1911) was an Irish nationalist and younger sister of Irish Nationalist leader, Charles Stewart Parnell.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Anna was born Catherine Maria Anna Mercer Parnell at Avondale House in Rathdrum, County Wicklow the tenth of eleven children of John Henry Parnell, a landlord and Delia Tudor Stewart Parnell, an Irish-American and the daughter of Admiral Charles Stewart (1778–1869) of the US Navy. She had very little formal education as a child but the family had an extensive library which she was encouraged to read by her mother. After her father died in 1859 Anna moved with the family to Dublin. Delia Parnell was an active socialite while in Dublin and exposed her children to a wide variety of political views. Anna wrote poetry and painted. In 1865 the family moved to Paris but Anna felt stifled by upper class society rules imposed upon her. She was in Paris when the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870 and was active in the American Ladies' Committee fundrasing and setting up hospitals. She returned alone to Dublin in 1870 to study art.

paragraph: Section::::Early political activism.

paragraph: Anna moved to London in 1875 to continue studying art. When her brother Charles was elected as a MP for Meath, Anna became increasingly political. She frequently visited Parliament during debates, sitting in the Ladies' Gallery. She wrote articles about the debates in a column titled "Notes From the Ladies' Cage" in the Celtic Monthly. In 1879 Anna joined her sister, Fanny Parnell (1848–1882), a poet, in New York where they raised money in support of the Irish National Land League. The sisters worked closely with their brother Charles and Michael Davitt but were critical of how the funds raised in America were being used in Ireland. In October 1880 the sisters founded the New York Ladies' Land League with their mother as president. They raised thousands of dollars sent to Ireland.

paragraph: Section::::Ladies' Land League.

paragraph: Anna returned in Dublin in late 1880. When it seemed that the Land League men were likely to be arrested, it was suggested that a women's league in Ireland could take over the work in their absence. Public opinion at the time was against women in politics, but the Ladies' Land League was founded on 31 January 1881 with Anna as its effective leader.

paragraph: When Charles Parnell and other leaders were imprisoned in 1881, as predicted, the Ladies' Land League took over their work. Though it was envisioned as a place holder until the men were released, Anna organised branches throughout Ireland, encouraging women to play an active role in Land League activities. Offices were given to the ladies but little help. They raised funds for the League and for the support of prisoners and their families. They distributed Land League wooden huts to shelter evicted tenant families and by the beginning of 1882 they had 500 branches, thousands of women members and considerable publicity. They distributed £60,000 in relief aid.

paragraph: This put the Ladies' Land League in serious debt. Anna approached Charles, requesting money to settle the debts. Charles, who distrusted Anna's understanding of politics, agreed to provide the money under the condition that the Ladies' Land League be disbanded. Anna agreed, disbanding in 1882, but she never forgave Charles.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After her brother's death in 1891 Anna lived the rest of her life in the south of England under the assumed name Cerisa Palmer. She wrote an angry account of her Land League experiences in "Tale of a Great Sham", which was not published until 1986. She made one last political appearance when she campaigned for a Sinn Féin candidate in a 1907 by-election. She drowned at Ilfracombe, Devon in 1911 at the age of 59 and is buried in Holy Trinity churchyard there.

paragraph: Robert Yerkes

paragraph: Robert Mearns Yerkes (; May 26, 1876 – February 3, 1956) was an American psychologist, ethologist, eugenicist and primatologist best known for his work in intelligence testing and in the field of comparative psychology.

paragraph: Yerkes was a pioneer in the study both of human and primate intelligence and of the social behavior of gorillas and chimpanzees. Along with John D. Dodson, Yerkes developed the Yerkes-Dodson law relating arousal to performance.

paragraph: As time went on, however, Yerkes began to propagate his support for eugenics in the 1910s and 1920s. His works are largely considered biased toward outmoded racialist theories by modern anthropologists and academics.

paragraph: He also served on the board of trustees of Science Service, now known as Society for Science & the Public, from 1921-1925.

paragraph: Section::::Education and early career.

paragraph: Robert Yerkes was born in Breadysville, Pennsylvania (near Ivyland, Pennsylvania). Growing up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania, Robert Yerkes wanted to leave the hard life of the rural farmer and become a physician. With the financial help of an uncle, Yerkes attended Ursinus College from 1892 to 1897. Upon graduating he received an offer from Harvard University to do graduate work in Biology. Faced with a choice of Harvard or medical training in Philadelphia, he chose to go to Harvard.

paragraph: At Harvard, Yerkes became interested in animal behavior, so much so that he put off further medical training to study comparative psychology. He earned his Ph.D. in the Psychology Department in 1902.

paragraph: His early career was strongly influenced by the debts Yerkes incurred paying for school. Upon his graduation from Harvard, he took up a position with the school as an instructor and Assistant Professor in Comparative Psychology. He had to supplement his income during the summer for several years by teaching general psychology at Radcliffe College. Another part-time job he took on was being the director of psychological research at the Boston Psychopathic Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.

paragraph: In 1907, Yerkes published his first book, "The Dancing Mouse". Among his friends during this time was future behaviorist John Watson, with whom he exchanged ideas and collaborated. He was also a member of the Wicht Club (1903–1911).

paragraph: Section::::Intelligence testing and eugenics.

paragraph: In 1917, Yerkes served as president of the American Psychological Association (APA). Under his urging, the APA began several programs devoted to the war effort in World War I. As chairman of the Committee on the Psychological Examination of Recruits, he developed the Army's Alpha and Beta Intelligence Tests, the first nonverbal group tests, which were given to over 1 million United States soldiers during the war.

paragraph: The test ultimately concluded that recent immigrants (especially those from Southern and Eastern Europe) scored considerably lower than older waves of immigration (from Northern Europe) The results would later be criticized as very clearly only measuring acculturation, as the test scores correlated nearly exactly with the number of years spent living in the US. The effects of Yerkes work would have a lasting effect on American xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. His work was used as one of the eugenic motivations for harsh and racist immigration restrictions. He was appointed as an "Expert Eugenic Agent" to The House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, where his work would contribute to the creation of the discriminatory National Origins Formula.

paragraph: In his introduction to Carl C. Brigham's "A Study of American Intelligence" (which helped popularize eugenics in the U.S.), Yerkes warned that "no one of us as a citizen can afford to ignore the menace of race deterioration." The study was based on the findings of Yerkes and Brigham regarding the alarming results of the Army intelligence tests: nearly half of the white draft (47.3%) was feebleminded, with blacks and the newer immigrant groups achieving the lowest scores.

paragraph: Although Yerkes claimed that the tests measured native intelligence, and not education or training, this claim is difficult to sustain in the face of the questions themselves: Question 18 of Alpha Test 8 reads: "Velvet Joe appears in advertisements of ... (tooth powder)(dry goods)(tobacco)(soap)."

paragraph: Along with Edward L. Thorndike, Yerkes was a member and Chairman of the Committee on Inheritance of Mental Traits, part of the Eugenics Record Office, which was founded by Charles Benedict Davenport, a former teacher of Yerkes at Harvard.

paragraph: Section::::National Research Council.

paragraph: Immediately after World War I, Yerkes worked as a paid officer for the United States National Research Council (NRC) and took the helm of the NRC Committee for Research in Problems of Sex. The Committee for Research in Problems of Sex helped Yerkes establish close relationships with officers from Rockefeller philanthropic foundations. These relationships later helped him to solicit substantial funds for his chimpanzee projects.

paragraph: Section::::Primatology pioneer.

paragraph: Yerkes had a long and storied fascination with the study of chimpanzees. He had spent time observing chimpanzees in Cuba at Madame Abreu's colony in the early 1920s, and had returned from the trip determined to raise and observe chimps on his own. He began by purchasing two chimpanzees, Chim and Panzee, from a zoo. He brought the two chimps home, where they lived in a bedroom and ate with a fork at a miniature table. Chim was a particular delight for Yerkes, and the summer that chimp and psychologist spent together is memorialized in "Almost Human" (1924).

paragraph: In 1924, Yerkes was hired as a professor of psychobiology, a field he pioneered, at Yale University. He founded the Yale University Laboratories of Primate Biology in New Haven, followed by his Anthropoid Breeding and Experiment Station in Orange Park, Florida with funds from the Rockefeller Foundation. After his death, the lab was moved to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and is now called the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. The primate language Yerkish was developed there. Yerkes retired from his position as Director in 1942, where he was replaced by Karl Lashley.

paragraph: Asked how to say his name, he told "The Literary Digest" it was YER-keez.

paragraph: Hugo von Montfort

paragraph: Hugo von Montfort (1357 – 4 April 1423) was an Austrian minstrel of the Late Middle Ages.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Hugo VII was a scion of the comital house of Montfort at Bregenz, head of an old and influential Swabian family of nobles, holding numerous high administrative posts. By his mother Countess Ursula of Ferrette ("Pfirt"), he was related with the Austrian House of Habsburg. About 1373 he married the Styrian countess Margaret, granddaughter of Count Ulrich V of Pfannberg and widow of Count Hans of Cilli. With his wife's estates around Pfannberg in the Mur valley, he vastly increased the area controlled by the House of Montfort. Upon Margarte's death about 1395, he secondly married Countess Clementia of Toggenburg. In 1399 he also acquired Festenburg Castle in eastern Styria. In 1402 Hugo married, for the third time, the Bohemian noble Anna of Neuhaus, widow of the Styrian governor Hans of Stadeck.

paragraph: As second-born son, he had prepared for an ecclesiastical career, but spent most of his adult life as a politician in the Habsburg service: as commander in chief of the ducal Austrian troops in Italy, as "Hofmeister" of Duke Leopold IV, as governor of Styria (1412–1415), and as "Landvogt" in the Thurgau, Aargau, and Black Forest regions of Further Austria. Hugo died aged 66 at Pfannberg and was buried in the parish church of Bruck an der Mur in Upper Styria.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Hugo wrote songs and "Minnebrief" rhymes, as well as political and didactic speeches. About 1402 he had a first manuscript of his works drawn up. Approximately 40 of his texts are preserved in an elaborate 1414 codex. Though still standing in the shadow of his famous contemporary Oswald von Wolkenstein, he is today considered one of the last important representatives of the German "Minnesang".

paragraph: José Luis Mollaghan

paragraph: José Luis Mollaghan (born 2 May 1946) is an Argentinian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. Since 2014 he has been an official of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He previously held positions in Argentina, including Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires and Archbishop of Rosario.

paragraph: Mollaghan was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After the seminary he studied philosophy and theology at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires.

paragraph: In 1967 he obtained his licentiate in theology and a degree in canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. There he was ordained a priest by Bishop Jacques-Paul Martin on March 19, 1971. He then fulfilled pastoral assignments in Buenos Aires for several years and in 1975 began teaching on law at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina.

paragraph: On 22 July 1993, Pope John Paul II appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires with the titular see of Theuzi. He was consecrated a bishop on 2 October by Cardinal Antonio Quarracino. He held several post in the administration of the archdiocese including vicar for the administration and moderator of the curia. He served on several committees of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, becoming a member of its Executive Committee and Standing Committee and one of its delegates to the Latin American Bishops' Council. From 1994 to 1999 he was secretary general of the Bishops' Conference. Several years of his time as auxiliary in Buenos Aires coincided with the period when the Archbishop of Buenos Aires was Jorge Bergoglio, later Pope Francis.

paragraph: Pope John Paul II named him Bishop of San Miguel on 17 May 2000. On 22 December 2005, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him Archbishop of Rosario, where he was installed on 18 March 2006.

paragraph: On 19 May 2014, Pope Francis assigned Mollaghan to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome to work on a commission responsible for handling cases of clerical pedophilia. Because the commission had not been established, he moved to Buenos Aires to signify his release from responsibility for the Rosario diocese. He told a congregation at a festive celebration in Rosario in August: "The technical director decides the changes. I just wanted to stay in Rosario, but he sent me to Buenos Aires to make work easy for me." He remained in Argentina, living in Buenos Aires for several months, before moving to Rome. The seven-member Commission was established on 11 November 2014 with responsibility for sexual abuse of minors, heresy, apostasy, misuse of the sacrament of penance, and the ordination of women. Argentine newspapers interpreted Mollaghan's assignment in Rome as an "elegant" way to remove him from Rosario following an investigation into the mismanagement of church funds and referred to Mollaghan as "an old rival" of the Pope. Mollaghan denied that he represented a more conservative faction of the Argentine hierarchy and pointed to his long service alongside Bergoglio in Buenos Aires.

paragraph: Willehad

paragraph: Willehad or Willihad (); 745 AD 8 November 789) was a Christian missionary and the Bishop of Bremen from 787 AD.

paragraph: Willehad was born in Northumbria and probably received his education at York under Ecgbert. He was ordained after his education, and about the year 766, he went to Frisia, preaching at Dokkum and in Overijssel, to continue the missionary work of Boniface who had been martyred by the Frisians in 754. At an assembly in Paderborn in 777, Saxony was divided into missionary zones. The zone between the Weser and the Elbe, called "Wigmodia", was given to Willehad.

paragraph: From 780 Willehad preached in the region of the lower Weser River on commission from Charlemagne. He barely escaped with his life when the Frisians wanted to kill him as well and he returned to the area around Utrecht. Once again he and his fellow missionaries barely escaped with their lives when the local pagans wanted to kill them for destroying some temples. Finally, in 780, Charlemagne sent him to evangelize the Saxons. He preached to them for two years but, in 782, the Saxons under Widukind, rebelled against Charlemagne and Willehad was forced to flee to Frisia. He took the opportunity to travel to Rome where he reported to Pope Adrian I on his work.

paragraph: Upon his return from Rome, Willehad retired for a time to the monastery of Echternach, in present-day Luxembourg. He spent two years there reassembling his missionary team.

paragraph: After Charlemagne's conquest of the Saxons, Willehad preached in the region around the lower Elbe and the lower Weser. In 787 Willehad was consecrated bishop, and that part of Saxony and Friesland near the mouth of the Weser was assigned to him for his diocese. He chose as his see the city of Bremen, which is mentioned for the first time in documents of 782, and built a cathedral there. Praised for its beauty by Anschar, it was dedicated in 789.

paragraph: Willehad died in Blexen upon Weser, today a part of Nordenham. He is buried in the city's cathedral, which he consecrated shortly before his death on 8 November 789. Anschar compiled a life of Willehad, and the preface which he wrote was considered a masterpiece for that age. In 860, a sick girl from Wege (Weyhe) travelled to his grave. There, she was reportedly cured by a miracle. This was the first time the small village was mentioned in any historical documents.

paragraph: Ma Teng

paragraph: Ma Teng () (died 212), courtesy name Shoucheng, was a warlord who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. He controlled Liang Province (涼州; covering parts of present-day Shaanxi and Gansu) with another warlord, Han Sui. Ma Teng and Han Sui were involved in efforts to gain autonomy from the Han central government.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Ma Teng was from Maoling County (茂陵縣), Fufeng Commandery (扶風郡) (present-day Xingping, Shaanxi). His father, Ma Ping (馬平), was a minor official in Tianshui Commandery, but because of some dispute he was dismissed from his post, and went to live among the Qiang people.

paragraph: Ma Teng grew up in extreme poverty and made a living selling firewood he collected in the mountains. After growing up, his height was said to have been over eight "chi", (≈1.86 metres). He was said to have been fierce in appearance, but kind to others, wise, and respected by many.

paragraph: In 184, during the final years of Emperor Ling's reign, the Qiang people in Liang Province rose up against the local government under Beigong Yu (北宫玉) and Liwen Hou (李文侯). They were joined by members of the local gentry Han Sui and Bian Zhang. The official Han governor of Liang Province, Geng Bi (耿鄙), gathered forces to put down the rebellion, and Ma Teng volunteered as a foot soldier. His skills in battle against the rebels were recognised and he rose through the ranks of the soldiery. However, when Geng Bi was killed in battle by the rebel army, Ma Teng switched sides and joined Han Sui. The rebellion was eventually suppressed by the Han general Huangfu Song but Ma Teng escaped along with the rebels. In the end, the central government granted military titles to some of the rebel leaders in order to appease them.

paragraph: When Li Jue and Guo Si seized power over Chang'an after Dong Zhuo's assassination, Ma Teng and Han Sui at first pledged allegiance to them, and were appointed as General who Attacks the West (征西将軍) and General who Guards the West (鎮西将軍) respectively. However, the relationship between the two sides quickly soured, and Ma Teng and Han Sui led their armies in an attempt to seize Chang'an. They allied themselves with the warlord Liu Yan, but suffered defeats from the hands of Li Jue's forces led by Guo Si, Fan Chou and Li Li. Not only was the loss of 10,000 soldiers a heavy blow to the morale of the allied forces, they also faced a supply shortage at the time, so the eloquent Han Sui asked Fan Chou for a private talk, during which Han Sui successfully persuaded Fan Chou to abort the pursuit because they shared the same hometown. The allied forces then retreated back to Liang Province safely.

paragraph: Although Ma Teng was initially on good terms with Han Sui, the two went to war against each other over control of Liang Province. The fighting escalated to a point where they were killing each other's wives and children. Cao Cao, who at this point had decisively defeated Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu, brokered peace between Ma Teng and Han Sui, who then pledged allegiance to the Han dynasty and sent troops to assist Cao Cao in defeating Yuan Shao's successors and remnants. After this, Ma Teng was summoned to Ye city with most of his family, and was appointed Minister of the Guards (衛尉). His eldest son, Ma Chao, remained behind in Liang Province with Han Sui.

paragraph: Around early 211, Ma Chao secretly formed a coalition with Han Sui and other minor warlords in Liang Province and started a rebellion against the Han dynasty. While persuading Han Sui to join him, Ma Chao said, "[...] Now, I abandon my father, and I'm willing to acknowledge you as my father. You should also abandon your son, and treat me like your son." Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao and his coalition at the Battle of Tong Pass in September 211. Sometime in the summer of 212, Emperor Xian issued an imperial decree ordering the execution of Ma Teng and the rest of his family who were with him in Ye city at the time.

paragraph: Section::::In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

paragraph: In the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ma Teng is portrayed as a loyalist of the declining Han dynasty. He participates a plot with Liu Bei and Dong Cheng to assassinate Cao Cao, who in the novel, is depicted as a villain monopolising power and holding Emperor Xian hostage. However, the plot is unsuccessful and Ma Teng returns to Liang Province.

paragraph: When Ma Teng is later recalled to the imperial capital Xuchang, he decides to again join a plot to assassinate Cao Cao, this time with Huang Kui (黄奎). However, the plot is discovered and he is executed along with his sons Ma Xiu (馬休) and Ma Tie (馬鐵). Upon hearing of his father and brothers' deaths, Ma Chao becomes filled with rage and goes to war with Cao Cao to avenge his family, starting the Battle of Tong Pass.

paragraph: Irohahime

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Irohahime was born in Jurakudai. She was Masamune's first conjugal child. Although the couple would obviously have been longing for a boy to take over the Date family, the baby born to them was a girl. As Masamune was expecting a son, he personally chose a masculine name. After she was born, however, the name was kept, but pronounced more femininely.

paragraph: Having moved from place to place, from Jurakudai to Fushimi, and then to Osaka, Irohahime was engaged to Ieyasu's son, Tadateru, on January 20, 1599, as part of Ieyasu's strategy for strengthening relationships with powerful daimyō. In 1603, she moved from Fushimi to Edo, and on December 24, 1606, she married Tadateru. Though the two got along, they had no children. In 1616, she divorced Tadateru when he was stripped of his position, and returned to her father, Masamune, thereafter living in Sendai.

paragraph: As she lived in the Nishikan (the west annex) of the main castle in this period, she was also called Lady Nishikan (西館殿). She died on June 4, 1661, at the age of 68. Her grave is in Tenrinin Temple in Matsushima.

paragraph: Section::::Legends.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Irohahime was such a beautiful and intelligent daughter that her father was led to lament, "imagine if she had been a boy." Date Tadamune, a younger brother by the same mother, also relied on her for her intelligence.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Irohahime was allegedly a Christian, as her real mother Megohime had been a Christian for a time. When she divorced Tadateru, she was still in her early twenties and her father and mother, concerning about their beloved Irohahime, allegedly asked her to remarry, but she kept refusing. It is generally accepted that she refused offers of marriage throughout the rest of her life, no matter how earnestly her parents and those around her advised her to remarry because she believed in the Christian doctrine, which does not allow divorce.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Because Irohahime was born and raised in Kyoto, her words and customs were also in the Kyoto style. When she moved to Sendai after her divorce, she had a hard time getting used to the Tōhoku dialect as well as Tōhoku's way of living.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: She makes in an appearance in the NHK taiga drama "Dokuganryū Masamune", and she is portrayed by Yasuko Sawaguchi.

paragraph: Kʼinich Yat Ahk II

paragraph: Kʼinich Yat Ahk II (), also known as Ruler 7, was the last "ajaw" of Piedras Negras, an ancient Maya settlement in Guatemala. He ruled during the Late Classic Period, from 781 to roughly 808 AD. Possibly a descendant of Itzam Kʼan Ahk II, Kʼinich Yat Ahk II ascended the throne upon the death of his brother, the sixth "ajaw" of the site, Haʼ Kʼin Xook. While Kʼinich Yat Ahk II presided over the destruction of the rival Maya site Pomona, his reign likely ended with Kʼinich Tatbu Skull IV of Yaxchilan capturing and subjugating Piedras Negras. Itzam Kʼan Ahk II left behind several monuments, including stelae at Piedras Negras, a stone seat known as Throne 1 which records either the death or abdication of Haʼ Kʼin Xook, and Panel 3 which recounts the exploits of Itzam Kʼan Ahk II.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Reign of Piedras Negras.

paragraph: Likely the final "ajaw" of Piedras Negras, Kʼinich Yat Ahk II (also known as Ruler 7) was the son of Lady Bird, and was born on April 7, 750 AD (9.15.18.16.7 12 Mankiʼ 5 Sotzʼ in the Long Count). It is possible that he was the son of Itzam Kʼan Ahk II, or perhaps Tʼul Chiik, a prince of Piedras Negras. The ruler's name is a combination of two elements: a title and a predecessor's name. The title, "kʼinich", translates to "red-faced", and is a reference to the settlement's rulers' belief that they were the "lords of the sun". The name portion, Yat Ahk, was not taken from one of Kʼinich Yat Ahk II's immediate predecessors, but rather from one of Piedras Negras's earliest rulers, Yat Ahk I. Kʼinich Yat Ahk II took up the throne at Piedras Negras on May 31, 781 (9.17.10.9.4 1 Kʼan 7 Yaxkʼin), almost a year following the death of his brother, Haʼ Kʼin Xook. Despite this lengthy gap, there is no evidence that anyone ruled Piedras Negras in the interim.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Acts of aggression.

paragraph: Kʼinich Yat Ahk II first took military action against his opponents in August of 787 AD, capturing a "yajaw kʼahk" (a "lord of fire") from Santa Elena Poco Uinic. Then, in both 792 and 794 AD, Kʼinich Yat Ahk II carried out two "star wars" (that is, wars planned to coincide with key astronomical events) against the rival Maya settlement Pomona, the latter of the two resulting in Pomona being decisively defeated and subordinated. Kʼinich Yat Ahk II was aided in both of these wars by his ally, Parrot Chaak of La Mar.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Capture.

paragraph: In AD 808, Piedras Negras's sworn enemy Yaxchilan, ruled by Kʼinich Tatbu Skull IV, conquered Piedras Negras and subjugated Kʼinich Yat Ahk II, ending his rule; Lintel 10 at Yaxchilan directly names Kʼinich Yat Ahk II as a captive of the Yaxchilan "ajaw". There is evidence that troops from Yaxchilan attacked Piedras Negras and razed it, as debris and burnt artifacts have been documented throughout the site, and it appeared that Throne 1 was deliberately dismantled. In the 1930s, certain researchers argued that this evidence suggested that the ruling class had been overthrown in a "peasants revolt" but modern scholars largely reject this idea. Regardless, Simon Martin and Nikolai Grube, and Mayanist Stephen D. Houston argue that the Piedras Negras dynasty may have survived for a time after the capture and death of Kʼinich Yat Ahk II, but its power was severely curtailed and fizzled out around 810 AD. Afterwards, Piedras Negras declined in importance and was eventually abandoned to the jungles of Guatemala.

paragraph: Section::::Monuments.

paragraph: Section::::Monuments.:Stelae.

paragraph: Several stelae have been found that were erected by Kʼinich Yat Ahk II, including Stelae 12 and 15, which were sculpted out of limestone. The first to be raised was Stela 15, which celebrated Kʼinich Yat Ahk II's first hotun ending as "ajaw" of Piedras Negras. The monument, positioned on the upper terrace of Pyramid O-13, is "innovative", because it is almost a three-dimensional depiction of the leader. This innovation was the result of Piedras Negras sculptors fine-tuning their technical skills and marked "the closest [the sculptors of Piedras Negras] came to releasing the body from the stone block", according to O'Neil. The monument bears some stylistic similarities to Haʼ Kʼin Xook's Stela 13, and given that Stela 15 is positioned above Stela 13 on the northwestern side of Pyramid O-13, it was likely that Stela 15 was erected to purposely associate Kʼinich Yat Ahk II with Haʼ Kʼin Xook.

paragraph: The final stela to be erected was Stela 12 and details Kʼinich Yat Ahk II's aforementioned victory over Pomona, showing KʼInich Yat Ahk II above military leaders and captives (of which a few are named). Stylistically, the stela is more reminiscent of panels found at Piedras Negras, due to its "shallow relief[s]". According to O'Neil, this style is evidence that at this time, "the sculptors … favored multi-figural pictorial narrative over the divine ruler's singular embodiment or three-dimensional presence." Houston et al. argue that this stela is a "monument of vengeance", redressing the defeat of Piedras Negras at the hands of Pomona in 554 AD. While the monument is not a niche stela, it makes reference to the style by showing the "seated ruler at the top ... and other people at lower levels", similar to Stelae 14 and 33. The stela faces southwest, but this is because the monument was installed on the O-13 pyramid, which already faced in this direction. O'Neil has proposed, however, that the orientation was also purposeful, and that Kʼinich Yat Ahk II was trying to connect his stela with those of his forefathers. Stela 12 is in a relatively poor state of preservation, as exposure has weathered it down.

paragraph: According to O'Neil, Stelae 15 and 12 show two different versions of what it means to be a "proper ruler": Stela 15 depicts Kʼinich Yat Ahk II as a devout practitioner of religion who does his sacred duty. Stela 12, on the other hand, depicts the "ajaw" as a conqueror, defeating enemies and subjugating rivals. In addition, both Stelae 15 and 12 include the names of several sculptors and artists, one of whom worked on both stelae. These names are difficult to translate because many are unique when compared to extant Mayan glyphic texts.

paragraph: Section::::Monuments.:Throne 1.

paragraph: Kʼinich Yat Ahk II likely commissioned the construction of Throne 1, which details either the death or abdication of Haʼ Kʼin Xook. The entire throne is covered in images and glyphs, with a prominent zoomorphic face featured on the back. Discovered in a special recess in J-6 (a gallery wing of the main Piedras Negras palace acropolis), the throne was in pieces, but has since been reconstructed. J. Eric S. Thompson proposed three hypotheses to explain its destruction: it had been destroyed in a peasant revolt, it was smashed by conquerors from Yaxchilan, or its destruction "was more recent and is attributable to superstitious fear".

paragraph: Section::::Monuments.:Panel 3.

paragraph: Kʼinich Yat Ahk II also commissioned the carving of Panel 3, which was placed on the O-13 Pyramid. The panel is both an intricate narrative of daily life in the palace, as well as a documentation of a 749 AD Kʼatun celebration thrown by the previous ruler Itzam Kʼan Ahk II. According to the artifact, the celebration was attended by many dignitaries, including a "bʼaah sajal" ("first ruler") named Kʼan Moʼ Teʼ who had served Kʼinich Yoʼnal Ahk II, as well as the interim ruler of Yaxchilan, Yopaat Bahlam II. When Panel 3 was erected, Piedras Negras had begun to decline in importance. Thus, Kʼinich Yat Ahk II likely erected it recall the time when Piedras Negras held supremacy over the region. To this day, many archaeologists and Mayanists consider Panel 3 to be a "masterpiece of Maya art" due to its elucidating the life of Itzam Kʼan Ahk II and his servants, as well as providing information regarding rare grammatical structures in the Mayan glyphs.

paragraph: Rouguy Diallo

paragraph: Rouguy Diallo (; born 5 February 1995) is a French athlete who specialises in the triple jump.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Diallo was born in Nice, and began triple jumping in 2006. She set a new French national junior record at an event in Argentan in 2014, with an attempt of 13.74 m.

paragraph: Diallo won her first major medal at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics in Eugene, Oregon. She broke her own national junior record twice during the event, landing a 14.24 m jump in her first attempt with a 3.2 m/s headwind. After a foul in the second round, she jumped 14.44 m with help from a 3.3 m/s headwind, an attempt that was enough to win her the gold medal. However, these two attempts were not accepted as national junior records as there was too much headwind when they were made. Her fourth attempt of 14.20 was accepted as a national junior record, and also became the 15th longest attempt of all time in the junior women's triple jump. She became the third French triple jumper to win a world junior title for France after Benjamin Compaoré in 2006 and Teddy Tamgho in 2008.

paragraph: Colin Edwin

paragraph: Colin Edwin is an Australian musician. From 1993 to 2011 he was a member of the British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, where he played both fretted and fretless bass guitar, double bass and guimbri. Currently, Edwin is a member of Ex-Wise Heads, a long running collaboration with multi instrumentalist Geoff Leigh which mixes ethnic, ambient, and post-modern influences. He is also a member of a metal-influenced project, Random Noise Generator, and the band Metallic Taste of Blood.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Colin Edwin was born in Melbourne, Australia (2nd of July, 1970). In December 1993 he joined United Kingdom progressive rock band, Porcupine Tree. He plays bass guitar, double bass and guimbri.

paragraph: In 2001 Edwin played double bass on "Returning Jesus" by the United Kingdom duo No-Man, which is Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson's side project.

paragraph: Edwin is a jazz fan, and incorporates an atypical jazz-inspired style into his playing for a rock band. His main bass was a 1994 Wal Mark I four-string fretless bass for 10 years of live and studio use until giving it "a break" and semi-retiring it from the rigours of live touring in 2004. He used a Music Man StingRay and after a Music Man Bongo for the Deadwing Tour, which can be viewed on Porcupine Tree's DVD release "Arriving Somewhere...". During that time period Edwin was introduced to Spector basses and purchased a EuroLX 4-string model in Natural Oil. The company then gave him a gift one of their extended scale-length models (35" as opposed to the "standard" 34" scale for 4-string basses), a Euro 4LX-35 in transparent black. This proved to be useful as over half of their 2007 album, "Fear of a Blank Planet" was downtuned C/F/Bb/Eb to which the 35" scale length give better definition to the lower notes as well as the general rigours of touring – "The Euro 4LX-35 has a graphite-reinforced neck, which means it can come out of a freezing-cold trailer into a hot gig every night for a month without going out of tune or having any truss-rod problems". For the second leg of the Fear of a Blank Planet Tour starting in October 2007 a ReBop Deluxe FM unlined fretless bass in Natural Oil was used for the song "A Smart Kid" among others, and well as using his Music Man Bongo bass guitar as his spare or encore bass.

paragraph: However, as of late September 2009 Edwin was back to using his fretted and fretless Wal Mark I 4-string basses for the majority of the tour supporting the Porcupine Tree release of "The Incident" which was played in full on this leg and which he plays approximately 85% of "The Incident" song-cycle on his Wal basses. His black Spector Euro 4LX-35 is used for the other 15% "heavy parts" that are downtuned to C Standard the liner notes for "The Incident" Edwin still endorses the Spector and Basslab basses as well as EBS amplifiers, speaker cabinets, and effects pedals. He endorses Ernie Ball Bass Strings for use on his Wal fretless bass and Spector Medium Stainless Steel Bass Strings on his fretted Spector basses.

paragraph: As well as recording six albums with Ex-Wise Heads since 2000, Edwin has released two solo albums - "Third Vessel" in 2009 and "PVZ" in 2012, both available through Burning Shed.

paragraph: In 2011 Edwin formed the band "Metallic Taste of Blood" with Italian musician Eraldo Bernocchi, Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi and Keyboard player Jamie Saft, releasing an album on RareNoiseRecords.

paragraph: With a new line-up consisting of former Prong drummer Ted Parsons and keyboard player Roy Powell, Metallic Taste of Blood released a second album "Doctoring the Dead" in May 2015, also on RareNoise.

paragraph: Colin has continued working with Eraldo Bernocchi in the newest line-up of the band Obake, alongside vocalist Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari with their second album entitled "Mutations", which was released in October 2014 on RareNoise.

paragraph: Also in 2011, Edwin worked with American guitarist Jon Durant on the album "Dance of the Shadow Planets" and the two collaborated further on the album "Burnt Belief" released on the Alchemy Records label in 2012. Their third collaboration, "Etymology", was released in October 2014.

paragraph: Colin has also collaborated with Italian bassist Lorenzo Feliciati, resulting in the album "Twinscapes", released on RareNoise in 2014. The "Twinscapes" album also features contributions from Nils Petter Molvær, David Jackson, Roberto Gualdi and Andi Pupato, and was mixed by bassist and producer Bill Laswell

paragraph: Colin is known to have an interest in photography and also took the cover image for the album.

paragraph: In mid 2014 it was announced that Colin would be joining experimental jazz rock band Henry Fool as well as participating in recording new material for a future album.

paragraph: In 2015 Colin joined Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari, guitarist Carmelo Pipitone and drummer Pat Mastelotto in a new band "O.R.k." releasing the albums "Inflamed Rides". and "Soul of an Octopus".

paragraph: Colin recorded the bass lines for the instrumental rock musical collective Armonite, releasing the albums "The Sun is New each Day" in 2015 and "And the Stars above" in 2018, the latter published by Cleopatra Records.

paragraph: Colin has also collaborated with Ukrainian female vocal duo Astarta, playing concerts in London and Ukraine and releasing a full-length album in April 2016.

paragraph: Marie Besnard

paragraph: Marie Besnard (15 August 1896 – 14 February 1980), also known as 'The Good Lady of Loudun', was accused serial poisoner in the mid-20th century.

paragraph: Besnard was first charged with multiple murder on July 21, 1949, under her maiden name, Marie Joséphine Philippine Davaillaud. After three trials lasting over ten years (the first held in Poitiers), Besnard was finally freed in 1954, then acquitted on December 12, 1961. The case attracted widespread attention throughout the country and remains one of the most enigmatic in modern French legal history.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Loudun, France, Marie married her cousin, Auguste Antigny, in 1920. The marriage lasted until his death from pleurisy on July 21, 1927 (Antigny was known to suffer from tuberculosis). When his body was eventually exhumed, 60 mg of arsenic was found in his remains.

paragraph: In 1928, Marie married Léon Besnard.

paragraph: Section::::Suspicious deaths.

paragraph: When Léon Besnard's parents inherited family wealth, the couple invited them to move in with them. Soon thereafter, his father died, apparently from eating poisoned mushrooms.

paragraph: His mother followed three months later, apparently a victim of pneumonia. The parents' estate was left to Besnard's husband and his sister, Lucie, who supposedly committed suicide a few months later. Around this time, on May 14, 1940, Marie Besnard's father Pierre Davaillaud also died, officially due to cerebral haemorrhage, although his exhumed remains contained 36 mg of arsenic.

paragraph: Shortly afterward, the Besnards sublet rooms to a wealthy childless couple, the Rivets, who were friends of Marie's husband. Monsieur Toussaint Rivet died of pneumonia on July 14, 1939, although 18 mg of arsenic was later discovered in his exhumed remains. Madame Blanche Rivet (née Lebeau) died on December 27, 1941 from aortitis, although her remains contained 30 mg of arsenic. The Rivets' will had named Marie Besnard as their only heir.

paragraph: Pauline Bodineau, (née Lalleron) and Virginie Lalleron, cousins of Marie, had also named Marie as their only beneficiary. Pauline died aged 88 on July 1, 1945, after mistaking a bowl of lye for her dessert one night. Her remains were later found to contain 48 mg of arsenic. Virginie apparently made the same mistake a week later and died aged 83 on July 9, 1945. Her remains were later found to contain 20 mg of arsenic.

paragraph: Marie's mother, Marie-Louise Davaillaud (née Antigny) died on January 16. Her remains contained 48 mg of arsenic.

paragraph: After Marie discovered Léon was having an affair, Léon remarked to a close friend, Madame Pintou, that he believed he was being poisoned, saying "that his wife had served him some soup on a bowl that already contained a liquid." He died shortly afterwards October 25, 1947 apparently of uremia.

paragraph: A few days after Léon's burial, details of his testimony reached the "gendarmerie" and were passed to an investigating magistrate. As Marie had by now also accumulated most of the wealth of both families, suspicions were aroused of foul play and the magistrate ordered the exhumation of Léon's body on May 11, 1949. A forensic surgeon, doctor Béroud, discovered 19.45 mg of arsenic in his body. Marie was arrested, the bodies of her other alleged victims were exhumed, and Marie was charged with thirteen counts of murder.

paragraph: Section::::Trials.

paragraph: The presence of arsenic in the bodies of her alleged victims was central to Besnard's trials, the first of which began in February 1952.

paragraph: Béroud's autopsy report, based on an analytical method developed by Marsh and Cribier, concluded that the victims had been slowly poisoned by arsenic. Further analysis by professors Fabre, Kohn-Abrest and Griffon also found that there were abnormal levels of arsenic in the exhumed bodies. Another report, carried out by professor Piedelièvre in 1954 confirmed the results of the 1952 analysis, but differed in some respects from Béroud's. The presence of abnormally high levels of arsenic were also confirmed by another report by Professor

paragraph: Frédéric Joliot-Curie.

paragraph: Béroud had difficulty in defending his results under examination from Besnard's lawyers. The defence also claimed that there were errors in the labelling of the jars containing the tissue sample, and that several jars had been lost or replaced. In addition, an investigation at the cemetery was able to show that arsenic may have leached into the soil and bodies from chemicals used on the flowers and from zinc ornaments and other sources. As a result, the first two trials ended without a conviction.

paragraph: The length of the trials, the successful attacks on the evidence, and the turning of public opinion in favor of Marie Besnard contributed to her eventual acquittal at her third trial in 1961.

paragraph: Besnard died in 1980.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: The 1986 television film "L'Affaire Marie Besnard" (The Marie Besnard Affair) won the "Sept d'or" French television awards for Alice Sapritch, best actress in the role of Marie Besnard; Yves-André Hubert, director, for best movie made for TV; and Frédéric Pottecher, best writer. The 2006 television film "Marie Besnard, l'empoisonneuse" (Marie Besnard, the Poisoner), resulted in the 2007 Best Performance by an Actress Emmy Award for Muriel Robin in the title role.

paragraph: The English historian Richard Cobb presents a sympathetic portrait of Besnard in a lengthy essay in his book about French life, "A Second Identity" (1969).

paragraph: Alethia Tanner

paragraph: Alethia Tanner (née Alethia "Lethe" Browning) 1781-1864, was a 19th-century American educator. She was a leader in the African American community of the District of Columbia in the early 1800s, known for freeing 18 people from slavery and providing support for the creation of Washington DC's first school for free black children.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Alethia “Lethe" Browning Tanner was born in 1781 on a plantation owned by Tobias and Mary Belt, in Prince George’s County, MD. Alethia had two sisters, Sophia (Bell) and Laurana (Cook). Upon the death of Mary Pratt (Tobias had predeceased his wife) in 1795, the plantation, known as Chelsea Plantation was inherited by their daughter Rachel Belt Pratt. Mary Belt's will stipulated that Laurana be sent to live with a sibling of Rachel Pratt’s while Sophia and Alethia were to stay at the Chelsea Plantation.

paragraph: At some point, both Sophia and Alethia were allowed to grow and sell vegetables at markets in Alexandria and DC. Alethia sold vegetables at market across from the White House. There are also evidence, via doctor’s bill for Thomas Jefferson, that Alethia worked in Thomas Jefferson’s White House. Her role there is unknown. Curiously, the man who bought Alethia from Rachel Pratt was a man by the name of Joseph Doughtery. Doughtery was Thomas Jefferson’s footman while Jefferson was President. It is believed that Alethia gave the funds to Doughtery so that he could purchase her and then manumit her. Doughtery manumitted Aletha a few days after he purchased her. One of the witnesses on her manumission papers was William Thornton, the architect of the US Capitol.

paragraph: In 1826, and for several years after, Alethia was able to save enough money purchase the freedom for her sister Laurena, Laurena's husband, their children, and many of her family and friends. Among Laurana’s children was John Francis Cook, Sr., who became schoolmaster of Union Seminary, where he would establish the church and serve as its first pastor. He also founded the Young Man's Moral and Literary Society, an antebellum abolitionist debating society for free and enslaved blacks, and co-founded Union Bethel AME Church and Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church. During the Snow Riots of 1835, Cook temporarily fled the city, when a white mob attacked and burned down the one-room schoolhouse.

paragraph: Alethia led a remarkable life. She was a business woman, owned real estate, and was a supporter and sponsor of educational and religious institutions for the free black community in Washington DC. She was a Methodist church member in part because she was drawn to their position on slavery. Later, she and other African American former slaves left the church, finding it unwelcoming because they did not want to be confined to the galleria in the church. Alethia and her sister and her sister's husband joined Israel Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and later purchased it when it was being sold in auction. When she died she was a member of Union Bethel Church which was established with the help of her nephew John Francis Cook, Sr.

paragraph: Section::::The Bell School.

paragraph: Altheia, George, Nicholas Franklin and Moses Liverpool started the first school for free black children in the District of Columbia called The Bell School. The Bell School failed from lack of funding and a small student base, leading to the formation of The Resolute Beneficial Society School. This school like the last failed, largely attributed to limitations caused by segregation. Smaller private schools were then opened. Alethia's safety was in danger due to the Snow Riot in August 1835, which started as a labor strike but extended into attacks on free blacks. Her nephew John Francis Cook fled, but there was no record of her fleeing the area.
