paragraph: Jean Clouet

paragraph: Jean (or Janet) Clouet (1480–1541) was a miniaturist and painter who worked in France during the High Renaissance. He was the father of François Clouet.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The authentic presence of this artist at the French court is first mentioned in 1516, the second year of the reign of Francis I. By a deed of gift made by the king to the artist's son of his father's estate, which had escheated to the crown, we learn that he was not actually a Frenchman, and never naturalized. He is supposed to have been a native of the Low Countries, and probably his real name was Cloet. He lived several years in Tours, and there it was he met his wife, who was the daughter of a jeweller.

paragraph: He is recorded as living in Tours in 1522, and there is a reference to his wife's residence in the same town in 1523. In that year Clouet was awarded the position of Groom of the Chamber by the King, with a stipend at first of 180 livres and later of 240. He and his wife were certainly living in Paris in 1529, probably in the neighborhood of the parish of Ste Innocente, in the cemetery of which they were buried. He stood godfather at a christening on 8 July 1540, but was no longer living in December 1541.

paragraph: His brother, known as Clouet de Navarre, was in the service of Marguerite d'Angoulême, sister of Francis I, and is referred to in a letter written by Marguerite about 1529. Jean Clouet had two children, François and Catherine, who married Abel Foulon, and left one son, who continued the profession of François Clouet after his decease.

paragraph: Jean Clouet was undoubtedly a very skillful portrait painter, although no work in existence has been proved to be his. He painted a portrait of the mathematician Oronce Finé in 1530, when Fine was thirty-six years old, but the portrait is now known only by a print. Janet is generally believed, however, to have been responsible for a very large number of the wonderful portrait drawings now preserved at Chantilly, and at the Bibliothèque Nationale, and to him is attributed the portrait of an unknown man at Hampton Court, that of the dauphin Francis, son of Francis I at Antwerp, and one other portrait, that of Francis I in the Louvre.

paragraph: Seven miniature portraits in the "Manuscript of the Gallic War" in the Bibliothèque Nationale (13,429) are attributed to Janet with very strong probability, and to these may be added an eighth in the collection of J. Pierpont Morgan, and representing Charles I de Cossé, Maréchal de Brissac, identical in its characteristics with the seven already known. There are other miniatures in the collection of Mr Morgan, which may be attributed to Jean Clouet with some strong degree of probability, inasmuch as they closely resemble the portrait drawings at Chantilly and in Paris which are taken to be his work.

paragraph: The collection of drawings preserved in France, and attributed to this artist and his school, comprises portraits of all the important persons of the time of Francis I. In one album of drawings the portraits are annotated by the king himself, and his merry reflections, stinging taunts or biting satires, add very largely to a proper understanding of the life of his time and court. Definite evidence, however, is still lacking to establish the attribution of the best of these drawings and of certain oil paintings to Jean Clouet.

paragraph: On 13 May 1942, as a member of the Tainan Air Group based at Lae, New Guinea, Handa asked fellow Tainan ace Saburō Sakai to lend him his wingman, Toshiaki Honda, for a reconnaissance mission over Port Moresby. During the mission, the Japanese pilots were ambushed by enemy P-39 fighters and Honda was shot down and killed. Broken in spirit by Honda's death, Handa soon developed tuberculosis and was evacuated to Japan. After fighting the disease for six years, Handa died in 1948, telling his wife on his deathbed, "I have fought bravely all my life, but I could never forgive myself for having lost Sakai's wingman at Lae."

paragraph: Mark Pritchard (music producer)

paragraph: Mark Pritchard (born 1971) is an English electronic musician, resident in Australia and currently signed to Warp Records.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Mark Pritchard was born in Crewkerne, Somerset, England in 1971. From an early age he listened to a wide range of musical styles, and says when he was 5 his mother would buy him a new 7" record every week. After spending his school years listening to ska, 2-tone, indie and rock, he eventually became involved in club music, specifically Detroit techno and Chicago house. In the clubs of Taunton he came into contact with fellow West Country residents Tom Middleton and Richard D. James. Middleton would become frequent collaborator and James would eventually be Pritchard's label-mate on Warp Records.

paragraph: Pritchard and Middleton formed a record label, Evolution (named after one of Carl Craig's tracks), in 1991. The label played host to experimental electronica and dance music, including early releases from Matthew Herbert and Danny Breaks, but was eventually discontinued. Throughout the 90s Pritchard and Middleton worked together under several guises, "Global Communication", "Jedi Knights", "Secret Ingredients", "Link & E621", "Reload", and "The Chameleon". In the late 90s he started collaborating with Dave Brinkworth spawning the projects "Use of Weapons" and "Harmonic 33".

paragraph: Other collaborative projects include "Series 7" with Stephen Horne, "Shaft" with Adrian Hughes, "Vertigo" with Danny Breaks, "The 28 East Boyz" with Kevin Hann, "Chaos & Julia Set" with Dominic Fripp, "Mystic Institute" with Paul Kent, "Pulusha" with Kirsty Hawkshaw, "Pritch & Trim" with Trim and "Africa Hitech" with Steve Spacek.

paragraph: Throughout his career, he has also recorded solo work under various aliases, including "Reload", "Link", "Harmonic 313", "Troubleman", "NY Connection", and "Roberto Edwardo Turner (The Returner)".

paragraph: In June 2013, it was announced that he would be retiring his various aliases and using solely his birth name for future releases, with which, Pritchard released a trio of EPs on Warp, all a medley of footwork, jungle and bass-heavy dance-floor orientated electronics. A full-length LP, "Under the Sun" was released in 2016, and its companion album "The Four Worlds" in 2018, both on Warp; deeply atmospheric and richly impressionistic, hearkening back to Pritchard's work as "Global Communication", with key vocal features from Thom Yorke, Linda Perhacs, "Bibio", and Beans.

paragraph: Section::::Solo Projects.

paragraph: Section::::Solo Projects.:Link.

paragraph: The Link material goes back to 1992's "The First Link EP", and is predominantly techno, often using drum breaks in favour of classic 808 and 909 drum sounds. There were two EP's released solo as "Link", these being "The First Link EP" on Evolution and "The Augur" on Symbiotic. The Link alias also spawned "Link & E621", which referred to Pritchard and Tom Middleton and was used for the 1995 release "Antacid".

paragraph: Section::::Solo Projects.:N.Y. Connection.

paragraph: This NYC house project was inspired by Strictly Rhythm's early 90's releases, particularly those of DJ Pierre. The project yielded five singles, two of which were produced in conjunction with Kevin Hann of 28 East Boyz.

paragraph: Section::::Solo Projects.:Troubleman.

paragraph: The Troubleman material was released through Far Out Recordings from 2001-2005. The releases were generally mid-tempo, electro and funk with Brazilian influences. Pritchard has cited Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez as an influence for the project. The project yielded six singles/EPs and two albums.

paragraph: Section::::Solo Projects.:Reload.

paragraph: The Reload alias was born in 1991 and was responsible for some of Pritchard's more industrial output. Under this alias, several EPs and remixes were produced, and the 1993 album A Collection of Short Stories.

paragraph: Section::::Solo Projects.:Harmonic 313.

paragraph: Pritchard has released under this alias through Warp Records since 2008. Under it he released four EP's/singles and one full length, "When Machines Exceed Human Intelligence". He created the moniker to link with his "Harmonic 33" project whilst acknowledging the Detroit influence (313 being the Detroit area code) heard in its sound.

paragraph: Section::::Solo Projects.:Mark Pritchard.

paragraph: Pritchard first released solo material under his birth name with 2009's "? / The Hologram" on Ho-Hum Records. Following releases on Hyperdub and Deep Medi Musik, he is currently signed to Warp Records, through which he released a trilogy of EP's exploring styles such as footwork and jungle in 2013, followed by two ambient companion albums "Under The Sun" in 2016 and "The Four Worlds" in 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Global Communication.

paragraph: Conceived in the early nineties, Global Communication was another collaborative project of Pritchard and Tom Middleton, and its output was predominantly ambient. Most of the material was released on Dedicated and comprises eight singles/EPs and two albums, including Pentamerous Metamorphosis, a reworking of the Chapterhouse album Blood Music. They also released the album (named after its duration) which The Guardian featured in their "1,000 Albums to Hear Before You Die" list, describing it as an "unfathomably beautiful out-of-time masterpiece." Perhaps their most well known release was 1996's "The Way / The Deep" EP, considered by some to be a house classic.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Reload & E621.

paragraph: The "Reload & E621" moniker was used for Reload releases that featured Tom Middleton. E621 (the E number for Monosodium glutamate) also denoted the addition of Middleton in the "Link & E621" project.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:28 East Boyz.

paragraph: This was the pairing of Pritchard and his school friend, Kevin Hann. For contractual reasons, Pritchard could not use his real name for the credits, so he and his manager came up with the nom de plume "William Parrot" based on his childhood pets. The project yielded two singles.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Jedi Knights.

paragraph: A project with Tom Middleton, Jedi Knights first appeared remixing the Link & E621 track "Antacid" in 1995. Pritchard said the project in part came about as a reaction to what they saw as a lack of funk and humour in the club scene, and cites P-Funk and Electro as musical influences.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Use of Weapons.

paragraph: A project with Dave Brinkworth, released through Danny Breaks' Drum and Bass and Jungle label, Droppin' Science. The pair released three singles under this alais from 1998 to 2001.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Vertigo.

paragraph: Following on from releasing through his label, Pritchard ended up collaborating with Danny Breaks under this alias. This one-off collaboration resulted in the 2000 single "The Drained / Migraine"

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Chaos & Julia Set.

paragraph: This was the collaborative project of Pritchard and Dominic Fripp, a school friend of Pritchard's who wrote the short stories featured on the "Reload" album. They released three singles between 1993 and 1997.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Pulusha.

paragraph: This was a predominantly ambient project with "Opus III" vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw, and resulted in the 1997 release "Isolation". Pricthard went on to produce Hawkshaw's debut album with Dave Brinkworth, and in 2004, Pritchard contributed to Hawkshaw's "Ambient Vocals".

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Shaft.

paragraph: Shaft was originally Pritchard, Kevin Hann and Adrian Hughes. The project spawned the Pritchard-penned UK top 10 single "Roobarb and Custard", which sampled the cartoon of the same name. The success of the single meant Pritchard could afford to buy some equipment and ultimately allowed him to focus on making music full-time from then on in. A UK #61 chart hit followed in 'Monkey' in 1992. The project produced four singles/EPs.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Harmonic 33.

paragraph: This was a collaborative project with Dave Brinkworth that started in 1998. It yielded five singles/EPs, and two albums; "Extraordinary People" and "Music For Film, Television & Radio Volume One". The name came from a book about extraterrestrial beings using planetary harmonic frequencies to navigate space. Stylistically, the releases explored "...exotica, '60s/'70s library music, sci-fi, ...hip-hop".

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Africa Hitech.

paragraph: This was a project collaborative project with Steve Spacek, who came up with name after the pair discussed how African and Jamaican migrants had influenced UK club music. The duo released exclusively through Warp Records and produced four singles/EPs and the album "93 Million Miles".

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Pritch & Trim.

paragraph: Pritchard and grime MC Trim teamed up for the Planet Mu single "Stereotype" in 2011. In interview in August 2013, Pritchard stated he might potentially feature on Trim's forthcoming album for Rinse, and that Trim may feature on his forthcoming album for Warp.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborative Projects.:Mark Pritchard and Wiley.

paragraph: Pritchard collaborated with Wiley on the 2012 single "Scar/Moneyman", released by Ninja Tune. The 12" included a remix of "Money Man" under the Harmonic 313 alias.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Pritchard produces music in a wide range of genres, including hip hop, techno, jungle, ambient, grime and drum and bass. FACT magazine claims across all this eclecticism, there are some consistent themes, stating "He's not a minimalist, for one: regardless of genre, his productions are rich, gestural, and almost always interested in surface dazzle" and " his output tends also towards the instantly accessible".

paragraph: Cornelis Kiliaan

paragraph: Cornelis Kiliaan (1528, Duffel – 1607, Antwerp), was a 16th-century lexicographer, linguist, translator and poet of the Southern Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Duffel between 1528 and 1530. His parents, Anna and Hendrick van Kiele Rechtstraets, were wealthy citizens of Duffel. His father died when he was still a child.

paragraph: In 1548, he went to study Latin, Greek and Hebrew at University of Louvain, where he later taught law. After his studies, he found a job in the printshop recently founded by Christophe Plantin, which grew to become the largest in Europe of that period. He started at the bottom as a typographer and printer, but he was promoted to first assistant in 1558. Plantin was clearly confident in the quality of Kiliaan because in 1565, he was appointed proofreader, a function reserved for scholars. Perhaps it helped that after his mother died in 1564, the whole of the family wealth passed into Kiliaan's hands, leaving him free of financial worries and allowing him to pursue his studies on language and the Bible. During his print career he worked on several translations, even translating documents seized from the Spanish enemy for the local authorities during the Dutch Revolt. In 1574 he published a Dutch-Latin dictionary "Dictionarium Teutonico-Latinum", with 12,000 entries, which was innovative because he indicated forms close to other related languages. He was thus the first in Europe to implement linguistic comparison. In 1588, Kiliaan completed a second edition of his dictionary that was almost three times as large. This time he used not only other dictionaries as a source, but also delved into other published works. Another novelty is that he indicated a number of words in the region in which they were used. Finally, in 1599 he published his magnum opus, the etymology. This book is mentioned as one of the 1000 most important texts of the Dutch language in the Canon of Dutch Literature.

paragraph: At age 50, he married Maria Bosmans who gave him three daughters: Catharina, Maria and Anna. In 1604, he resigned from the Plantin printshop due to illness. He died 15 April 1607 and was buried at the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp.

paragraph: Philipp, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen

paragraph: Philipp Christoph Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen (24 June 1616 in Hechingen – 24 January 1671 in Hechingen) was a German nobleman. He was the third prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Philipp was the youngest son of Prince Johann Georg (1577–1623) from his marriage with Franziska (d. 1619), a daughter of Duke Friedrich I of Salm, Wild- and Rhinegrave in Neufville. As a younger son, Philipp was destinined for the church. He was a canon in Cologne and Strasbourg. He was considered a learned jurist and was the head of an imperial diplomatic mission to Spain.

paragraph: When his eldest brother Eitel Friedrich V died in 1661, Philipp inherited the principality. Pope Alexander VII allowed him to revert to the lay state, in exchange for a payment of scudi. Strictly speaking, when the Counts of Hohenzollern-Hechingen were raised to Princes, only the firstborn sons had been given the right to inherit the princely title. However, because of everything the rulers of Hohenzollern-Hechingen had done while they were in the imperial service, Emperor Leopold I, extended the right to this title to Philipp. The Pope also gave the 50-year-old Philipp the dispensation he needed to marry in Baden-Baden on 12 November 1662 to Princess Marie Sidonie (1635–1686), a daughter of Margrave Herman Fortunatus of Baden-Rodemachern.

paragraph: During his reign, Philipp suffered from a frail health, and in his later years, he was completely paralyzed. The principality had been financially and economically ruined by the Thirty Years' War and was slowly recovering, due in part to Philipp's modest court and the dowry his wife brought in. During his reign, industry, agriculture, trade, churches and schools began to blossom again.

paragraph: Section::::Issue.

paragraph: Philipp and Marie Sidonie had the following children:

paragraph: Mary Basset

paragraph: Mary Basset (c.1523 – 1572; born Mary Roper; also Mary Clarke) was a translator of works into the English language. Basset is cited as being the only woman during the reign of Mary Tudor to have her work appear in print.

paragraph: As the daughter of Margaret Roper and William Roper and the granddaughter of Sir Thomas More, she had an outstanding education; her tutors included John Christopherson. She married first Stephen Clarke, but no children came of this union; after his death, she later married James Basset, by June 1556.

paragraph: Between 1544 and 1553, Mary produced the first English translation of the "Ecclesiastical History" by Eusebius, now surviving in a single manuscript in the British Library, Harley MS 1860, along with her translation of its first book into Latin. Her work is based on the edition published by Robert Estienne in 1544; her learnedness is reflected in her comments on the text's inaccuracies. In 1560 Mary also translated Thomas More's "De tristitia Christi" into English. Nicholas Harpsfield wrote that she had also translated the "History of Socrates", Theodoretus, Sozomenus, and Evagrius, but no copies of these are known. Her translations are characterized by the same engagement in contemporary political and ideological debates as can be seen in Thomas More and Margaret Roper.

paragraph: Mary's will of 1566 is strongly Roman Catholic, and mentions several objects that had belonged to Thomas More. She died at London, 20 March 1572, at not yet fifty.

paragraph: José Míguez Bonino

paragraph: José Míguez Bonino (Rosario, Santa Fe, 5 March 1924 - Tandil, 1 July 2012) was an Argentine theologian.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Bonino was raised in the Methodist Church, and participated actively in this denomination since his youth. He studied theology at a university in Buenos Aires between 1943 and 1948. He worked in church ministries in Bolivia, and after obtaining his degree he was a pastor in Mendoza. Bonino traveled to the United States to pursue a master's degree at the Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. In 1954, he became a professor of dogmatic theology in Buenos Aires. In 1958, he left teaching to pursue further study at Union Theological Seminary in New York, where he obtained his doctorate in 1960 with a thesis on ecumenism.

paragraph: Bonino was appointed Director of the Evangelical Faculty of Theology in 1961, joining the Lutheran Faculty of Theology to form what is now the Evangelical Institute for Higher Theological Studies (ISEDET), where he served as director of postgraduate studies. Meanwhile, he was also senior pastor of the Methodist Church of Buenos Aires. During the Second Vatican Council he was the only Latin American Protestant observer.

paragraph: Between 1961 and 1977, he was a member of the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches (WCC), and from 1975 to 1983 he was one of the members of the WCC Presidency. He was also executive secretary of the South American Association of Theological Institutions between 1970 and 1976. In 1994, despite not having party affiliation, he was elected to the Constitutional Assembly that carried out the 1994 amendment of the Constitution of Argentina, in which he participated especially in social and human rights issues.

paragraph: Section::::Theology.

paragraph: Bonino was very influenced by the ideas of the social gospel. However, he also criticized the social gospel for its theological weakness and utopian idealism that held that the kingdom of God is brewing in human history. He sought to link the biblical theological conception of the Gospel with social concern in the cultural sphere. The theology of Karl Barth was also significant in the development of his thought.

paragraph: Bonino is considered one of the founders of Latin American Liberation theology, and he was committed to a political ethic focused on the poor and the defense of human rights. He described liberation theology as "the response of a generation of young Catholics and evangelicals to the call of the Holy Spirit for a renewed spiritual, ethical and social commitment to the poor, the call for a new and integral evangelization."

paragraph: He has advocated for community interpretation of the Bible against individualism.

paragraph: Arizona Fleming

paragraph: Arizona Fleming (March 23, 1884 – January 18, 1976) was an African-American small business owner from Richmond, Texas who became part of the Civil Rights Movement by joining a lawsuit against an all-white political club that prevented black voters from participating in the Democratic Party Primary in Fort Bend County. While John Terry's name headed the legal petition, Fleming and Willie Melton provided much of the financial support and work behind the lawsuit. The case was won in United States District Court in 1950 and overturned on appeal in 1952. The case went before the United States Supreme Court in 1953 and African-Americans won full voting rights in the county. In 1994 Arizona Fleming Elementary School was opened in Fort Bend Independent School District.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: On March 23, 1884, Arizona Fleming was born in Richmond, Texas of parents Beauregard and Laura Fleming. She went to segregated schools through the 12th grade. She attended all-black Guadalupe College in Seguin, Texas and then was employed as a bookkeeper at the Seagul Laundry in Houston. After four years she went back to her hometown of Richmond where she became a noted seamstress. She married F.A. Hicks on October 21st, 1903 and married Robb Simmons on January 10th, 1912. In 1927 she joined with several others to establish an undertaking company. After serving as secretary and manager for a few years she emerged as the sole proprietor. Her business survived the Great Depression with financial help from an uncle in Beaumont. Sometime afterward she became a homeowner.

paragraph: Section::::Civil rights activist.

paragraph: In 1889 a white political faction called the Jaybirds seized control of the Fort Bend County government by violence in the Jaybird-Woodpecker War. Since the passage of the Reconstruction Acts in 1867, the black population and their white political allies had consistently won county elections and blacks often held political office. After 1889, the Jaybirds passed Jim Crow laws to ensure that no blacks, Hispanics or Jews were allowed to participate in the nomination of local Democratic Party candidates. In 1950, a well-to-do African-American farmer, Willie Melton of Kendleton decided to challenge the restriction and vote in the Democratic primary. Melton enlisted NAACP attorney William J. Durham to notify the Jay Bird Democratic Association that they were violating the laws and that blacks wanted to vote in the primary. The Jay Bird Association countered that they were a private club and were within their rights to restrict membership.

paragraph: Fleming and others soon joined Melton. She threw herself into the project and lent her name to local efforts to end racial discrimination. After unsuccessfully trying to interest Texas Attorney General Price Daniel in the case, Melton approached J. Edwin Smith of a Houston law firm. He was advised to enlist plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the Jay Bird Association but this proved to be difficult because African-Americans feared retaliation. Finally a number of persons over 60 years old agreed to join the case, including 77-year-old John Terry of Beasley, whose name appeared at the top of the petition. In the end, Melton and Fleming paid the bulk of the legal fees although they were assisted by the NAACP, black churches and wealthy Houston blacks.

paragraph: The United States District Court for the Southern District ruled in favor of their suit on May 1, 1950. The court determined that the Jay Bird Association operated as a political party and therefore came under federal statutes that protected voting rights. With Melton as president and Fleming as secretary, the Fort Bend Civic Club was set up and started getting out the black vote. In the subsequent primary, 400 of the 550 eligible African-American voters went to the polls and no incidents of violence were reported. However, on January 11, 1952 the Jay Bird Association got the verdict overturned by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. After more fund-raising efforts, the Fort Bend Civic Club scraped together $6,000 to pursue the case to the highest court. On May 4, 1953, the United States Supreme Court upheld the original District Court ruling in "Terry v. Adams". Of the litigants, only Melton and Fleming were present at the high court session. The case determined that African-Americans in Fort Bend County had the right to vote. The cost of the litigation impoverished Fleming, though she announced, "I'd do it all over again". She died in Richmond on January 18, 1976, and is interred in the Mount Carmel Baptist Church cemetery. In 1994 an elementary school in the Fort Bend Independent School District was named after her.

paragraph: Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit

paragraph: Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit FRS (; ; 24 May 1686 – 16 September 1736) was a physicist, inventor, and scientific instrument maker. Fahrenheit was born in Danzig/Gdańsk, a predominantly German-speaking Hanseatic city in the Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, but lived most of his life in the Dutch Republic (1701–1736) and was one of the notable figures in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology.

paragraph: A pioneer of exact thermometry, he helped lay the foundations for the era of precision thermometry by inventing the mercury-in-glass thermometer (first practical, accurate thermometer) and Fahrenheit scale (first standardized temperature scale to be widely used). In other words, Fahrenheit's inventions ushered in the first revolution in the history of thermometry (branch of physics concerned with methods of temperature measurement). From the early 1710s until the beginnings of the electronic era, mercury-in-glass thermometers were among the most reliable and accurate thermometers ever invented.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Fahrenheit was born in the city of Danzig (Gdańsk), Pomeranian Voivodeship in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, but lived most of his life in the Dutch Republic. The Fahrenheits were a German Hanse merchant family who had lived in several Hanseatic cities. Fahrenheit's great-grandfather had lived in Rostock, and research suggests that the Fahrenheit family originated in Hildesheim. Daniel's grandfather moved from Kneiphof in Königsberg (present-day Kaliningrad) to Danzig and settled there as a merchant in 1650. His son, Daniel Fahrenheit (the father of Daniel Gabriel), married Concordia Schumann, daughter of a well-known Danzig business family. Daniel was the eldest of the five Fahrenheit children (two sons, three daughters) who survived childhood. His sister, Virginia Elisabeth Fahrenheit, married Benjamin Krüger and was the mother of Benjamin Ephraim Krüger, a clergyman and playwright.

paragraph: Daniel Gabriel began training as a merchant in Amsterdam after his parents died on 14 August 1701 from eating poisonous mushrooms. However, Fahrenheit's interest in natural science led him to begin studies and experimentation in that field. From 1717, he traveled to Berlin, Halle, Leipzig, Dresden, Copenhagen, and also to his hometown, where his brother still lived. During that time, Fahrenheit met or was in contact with Ole Rømer, Christian Wolff, and Gottfried Leibniz. In 1717, Fahrenheit settled in The Hague as a glassblower, making barometers, altimeters, and thermometers. From 1718 onwards, he lectured in chemistry in Amsterdam. He visited England in 1724 and was the same year elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Fahrenheit died in The Hague and was buried there at the Kloosterkerk (Cloister Church).

paragraph: Section::::Fahrenheit scale.

paragraph: According to Fahrenheit's 1724 article, he determined his scale by reference to three fixed points of temperature. The lowest temperature was achieved by preparing a frigorific mixture of ice, water, and a salt ("ammonium chloride or even sea salt"), and waiting for the eutectic system to reach equilibrium temperature. The thermometer then was placed into the mixture and the liquid in the thermometer allowed to descend to its lowest point. The thermometer's reading there was taken as 0 °F. The second reference point was selected as the reading of the thermometer when it was placed in still water when ice was just forming on the surface. This was assigned as 32 °F. The third calibration point, taken as 96 °F, was selected as the thermometer's reading when the instrument was placed under the arm or in the mouth.

paragraph: Fahrenheit came up with the idea that Mercury boils around 300 degrees on this temperature scale. Work by others showed that water boils about 180 degrees above its freezing point. The Fahrenheit scale later was redefined to make the freezing-to-boiling interval exactly 180 degrees, a convenient value as 180 is a highly composite number, meaning that it is evenly divisible into many fractions. It is because of the scale's redefinition that normal body temperature today is taken as 98.6 degrees, whereas it was 96 degrees on Fahrenheit's original scale.

paragraph: The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in English-speaking countries until the 1970s, nowadays replaced by the Celsius scale long used in the rest of the world.

paragraph: Matt McGloin

paragraph: Matthew James "Matt" McGloin (born December 2, 1989) is an American football quarterback who is currently a free agent. He was the starting quarterback for the Penn State Nittany Lions football team from 2010 to 2012. He is the first walk-on quarterback to start at Penn State since scholarships were reinstated in 1949. Prior to his college career, McGloin was a Pennsylvania all-state quarterback while attending West Scranton High School.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: McGloin was born and raised in Scranton, PA. McGloin was a three sport (football, basketball, and baseball) stand-out at (from 2004-2008) West Scranton High School earning ten varsity letters. He was a three-year starter at West Scranton, throwing for 5,485 career yards with 58 touchdowns. As the starting quarterback, McGloin led his team to two PIAA Class AAA district titles and a league title. He was named the 2007-08 Athlete of the Year by the "Scranton Times-Tribune", who also named him as their Athlete of the Week three times. He was also a four-year starter and scored 1,300 career points for the school's basketball team and also served as the team captain. He garnered many league and tournament all-star and MVP awards. McGloin was three-year starter on the varsity baseball team as an infielder and pitcher. During his senior year, he was named all-region as a two way player. He hit over .400 and led his team in many offensive categories as well as registering a 7-0 record on the mound. In his senior season, he led his high school baseball team to its first conference championship in 16 years. He played on the prestigious Mid Atlantic Prospects summer travel baseball team from Philadelphia.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2009 season.

paragraph: McGloin joined the Nittany Lions football team in 2009 as a walk-on. He was a backup in 2009, playing against Syracuse, Eastern Illinois, Michigan, and Michigan State where he had a combined zero completions on two attempts. In the Blue-White game, McGloin was a combined 9-of-13 for 111 yards and threw two touchdown passes, one for each team. After playing behind Daryll Clark and Kevin Newsome in 2009, he ended up third on the depth chart in early 2010 behind Rob Bolden, a true freshman from Detroit.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2010 season.

paragraph: McGloin was in a three-quarterback competition for the starting job in 2010 with Newsome and Bolden. Bolden won the starting job for the season-opener against Youngstown State, Newsome played in the fourth quarter and scored a touchdown, and McGloin played one play, where he handed off to third string tailback Curtis Dukes. On October 23, 2010, McGloin played against Minnesota when Kevin Newsome was sidelined with stomach flu and Bolden left the game with a concussion. McGloin threw two touchdowns in Penn State's first Big Ten victory after losses to Illinois and Iowa.

paragraph: On October 30, McGloin made his first start at quarterback and threw for 250 yards and a touchdown in a 41-31 win over Michigan. Bolden started the next week against Northwestern, but was pulled from the game by coach Joe Paterno after he was sacked twice and lost a fumble. McGloin rallied the Nittany Lions from a 21-point deficit to a 35-21 victory with four touchdown passes, a mark he matched twice his senior year but never surpassed. The victory was also the 400th of Paterno's career.

paragraph: On November 10, Paterno officially named McGloin the team's starter. On November 13, McGloin scored the first passing touchdowns in Ohio Stadium by a Penn State quarterback since 1963 and put them up 14-3 over the Buckeyes at halftime. He passed for 300+ yards and two touchdowns in both of the final regular season games against Indiana and Michigan St, but threw five interceptions in a loss to Florida in the 2011 Outback Bowl, including one returned 80 yards for a touchdown on a potential game-winning drive late in the game's last minute. He finished the season 118-of-215, for 1,548 yards, 14 touchdowns, and nine interceptions for a passer rating of 128.5. Despite playing in only 7 of the team's 12 games, he ranked tenth in the conference in completions, attempts, yards, touchdowns and rating, but tied for 4th in interceptions.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2011 season.

paragraph: McGloin split time at quarterback with Rob Bolden much of the 2011 season. He went 14-29 in the blue and white game, and led Penn State to a game-winning drive over in-state rival Temple in week 3. He saw increasing playing time through the season, both starting and playing his first complete game in a week 8 victory over Northwestern. Despite a poor 9-of-24 for 98 yard performance the next week, McGloin's Nittany Lions defeated Illinois 10-7 for coach Joe Paterno's record-breaking 409th career win, and the 8-1 team rose to 12th in the AP Poll on the following bye week. The rest of the season was marred by the Penn State child sex abuse scandal, the team lost 3 of their last four games, and McGloin did not play in the team's TicketCity Bowl loss to Houston after suffering a concussion during a locker room altercation with receiver Curtis Drake.

paragraph: Though McGloin took only 2/3 of the team's snaps that season, he led the team and finished 9th in the Big Ten with 125 completions, 231 attempts, a 54.1% completion percentage, 1,571 passing yards, and an efficiency of 118.3. He also had 8 touchdown passes (10th in the Big Ten) against only 5 interceptions.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2012 season.

paragraph: The arrival of new head coach Bill O'Brien paid huge dividends for McGloin. Though one of three quarterbacks considered for the starting role until just before opening day, McGloin started all 12 games and had a passer efficiency rating over 100 in all of them. In Week 4 against Eastern Michigan, McGloin went 14-of-17 for 220 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, for the highest completion percentage (82.4%) and passer efficiency (249.3) by a Penn State quarterback since 2000. On November 17, 2012, in the course of a 395 yard, four touchdown effort over Illinois, he surpassed Daryll Clark's career record for touchdown passes (45) in Penn State history, Clark's single-season record of 3,003 passing yards, and Anthony Morelli's single-season record of 234 completions. He finished the season leading the Big Ten with a school-record 270 completions, 446 attempts, 3,271 yards and 24 touchdowns. McGloin earned Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors and was the 2012 Burlsworth Trophy winner, given by the Rotary Club of Springdale, Arkansas to the most outstanding college football player who began his career as a walk-on.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:Statistics.

paragraph: "Source":

paragraph: Section::::College career.:Legacy at Penn State.

paragraph: McGloin ended his career at Penn State with a school record 46 touchdowns, and ranked 2nd in school history to Zack Mills with 513-of-894 for 6,390 yards. His career efficiency of 130.2 is the highest among players with at least 750 pass attempts.

paragraph: McGloin was honored on the floor of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by Rep. Marty Flynn in 2013. Flynn cited McGloin's "daily demonstration of grit and tenacity." The Worthington Scranton campus of Penn State University named its baseball field after McGloin.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: McGloin was rated the 22nd best quarterback in the 2013 NFL Draft by NFLDraftScout.com.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Oakland Raiders.:2013 season: Rookie year.

paragraph: McGloin was not drafted in the 2013 NFL Draft, but he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Oakland Raiders after a visit, May 15, 2013.

paragraph: McGloin made the team and began the season 3rd on the depth chart, behind starter Terrelle Pryor and backup Matt Flynn. After Flynn's disappointing Week 4 showing (starting for an injured Pryor) against the Washington Redskins, McGloin was promoted past Flynn to be Pryor's backup. McGloin made his first NFL appearance during the fourth quarter of the November 3, 2013 game between the Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles. He debuted as the Raiders' starting quarterback on November 17, 2013; along with Buffalo Bills quarterback Jeff Tuel, he was one of two undrafted rookie quarterbacks to start a game in the 2013 season, a historically rare occurrence. McGloin threw for three touchdowns and led the Raiders to a 28-23 victory over the Houston Texans. The next week, McGloin threw a go-ahead touchdown to Marcel Reece late in the fourth quarter of a 23-19 loss to the Tennessee Titans. In a Thanksgiving contest against the Dallas Cowboys, McGloin earned praise for his play in the loss and an honorable mention for Phil Simms's "All-Iron Award" for the most valuable player. Despite consistent play from McGloin, the Raiders lost their next four games, and Pryor retook the starting role for the final game of the season. McGloin's 259.0 passing yards per game is second only to Jake Delhomme in NFL history for an undrafted rookie.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Oakland Raiders.:2014 season.

paragraph: In 2014, McGloin began the season behind rookie quarterback Derek Carr and backup Matt Schaub. He played in just one game, replacing an injured Carr midway through third quarter of a 38-14 loss to the Miami Dolphins during Week 4. He threw 1 touchdown and one interception in the loss.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Oakland Raiders.:2015 season.

paragraph: In 2015, McGloin was promoted to second-string backup after Schaub was released during the offseason. He played just over two quarters for an injured Carr on opening day, throwing two fourth-quarter touchdowns to Reece in 33-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and appeared in just one other game that season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Oakland Raiders.:2016 season.

paragraph: McGloin appeared only briefly in two games early in the 2016 season behind a greatly improved Carr. However, in Week 16, Carr suffered a broken fibula early in the 4th quarter on his only sack against the Indianapolis Colts, with an expected recovery time of 6–8 weeks. On January 1, 2017, McGloin made his first start since 2013, completing 10 passes 10 for 121 yards before suffering a shoulder injury late in the second quarter and being replaced by Connor Cook in a 24-6 loss to the Denver Broncos, which cost the Raiders the AFC West championship and a first-round bye. On January 4, Cook was named the starter for the AFC Wildcard Game against the Houston Texans. McGloin was limited in practice due to his injury but was still active as Cook's backup for the playoff game. McGloin did not see any action in the playoff game as the Raiders lost to the Texans 27–14.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Philadelphia Eagles.

paragraph: Theobald III, Count of Champagne

paragraph: Theobald III of Champagne () (13 May 1179 – 24 May 1201) was Count of Champagne from 1197 to his death. He was the younger son of Henry I, Count of Champagne and Marie, a daughter of Louis VII of France and Eleanor of Aquitaine. He succeeded as Count of Champagne in 1197 upon the death of his older brother Henry II.

paragraph: Charters were written by him and Philip II of France in September 1198 to dictate the rights of the Jews of the one "vis-à-vis" the other and to repay debts by Philip to the count of Champagne for the employment of his Jews. These laws were reinforced subsequently in charters that were signed between 1198 and 1231.

paragraph: In 1198, Pope Innocent III called the Fourth Crusade. There was little enthusiasm for the crusade at first, but on 28 November 1199 various nobles of France gathered at Theobald's court for a tournament (in his castle at Ecry-sur-Aisne), including the preacher Fulk of Neuilly. There, they "took the cross", and elected Theobald their leader, but he died in 1201 and was replaced by Boniface I, Marquess of Montferrat.

paragraph: Theobald married Blanche of Navarre on 1 July 1199 at Chartres. They had two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Theobald IV

paragraph: As her dower, Blanche received Theobald's seven castles – Épernay, Vertus, Sézanne, Chantemerle, Pont-sur-Seine, Nogent-sur-Seine, and Méry-sur-Seine – and all the subsidiaries coming from these castles and castellaries at the Count's death. Following Theobald's death on May 24, 1201, she was to rule as regent for the following 21 years, during which the succession was contested by Theobald's nieces, Alice and Philippa.

paragraph: Theobald was buried beside his father, Henry, at the Church of Saint Stephen at Troyes.

Ksiazecia Krzysztofa Zbaraskiego" (“The Important Mission of His Grace Duke Krzysztof Zbaraski”, published in 1633).

paragraph: He also wrote about other historical events, which became a recognizable theme in his works. His most famous and respected work was "Wojna domowa z Kozaki i Tatary, Moskwa, potya Szwedami i z-Wegry" (“A Civil War with the Cossacks and Tatars, Muscovy, and then with the Swedes and Hungarians, published in 1681 in Kalisz). "Wojna domowa" is a narrative poem, whose style was inspired by classical and Renaissance authors. It is an account of the Zaporozhian Cossacks' revolt, the Chmielnicki Uprising. That revolt was one of the largest, and the Cossacks under the leadership of Bohdan Khmelnytsky struggled against the Polish-Lithuanian nobility who controlled the regions of modern Ukraine in the mid-17th century. The revolt shook the entire Poland-Lithuania. Twardowski gives first hand accounts of the 1649 siege of Zbaraż and the 1651 battle of Berestechko. His work is considered one of the most authoritative histories of the period.

paragraph: His other historical works included the "Książę Wiśniowiecki Janusz" ("Prince Janusz Wiśniowiecki", published in 1648), poem "Satyr na twarz Rzeczypospolitej" ("Satire on the face of Rzeczpospolita", 1640), another epic poem "Władysław IV" ("Władysław IV Vasa", published in 1649) and "Wojna domowa" ("Civil war").

paragraph: Twardowski also wrote Baroque pastoral romances, in which he employed the technique of Spanish verse narratives. Those poems include as "Nadobna Paskwalina" (“Fair Pasqualina”,published in 1655) and mythological themes, in "Dafnis w drzewo bobkowe przemieniela sie" (“Daphne Transformed into a Laurel Tree”, published in 1638).

paragraph: Four of his poems were translated into English by Michael J. Mikoś and issued in "Polish Baroque and Enlightenment Literature: An Anthology". Ed. Michael J. Mikoś. Columbus, Ohio/Bloomington, Indiana: Slavica Publishers. 1996.

paragraph: Wilhelm J. Burger

paragraph: Wilhelm J. Burger (1844–1920) was an Austrian photographer and painter, based in Vienna.

paragraph: Burger learned photography from his uncle Andreas von Ettingshausen (1796–1878) in the 1860s. In 1874, Burger operated a photographic studio in Vienna. When working in French, Burger used the first initial "G.", obviously for "Guillaume". He took photographs in Japan around 1869, and accompanied the expedition which was needed to prepare the polar expedition.

paragraph: Burger died on 10 March 1920.

paragraph: A fairly recent discovery has been made of photographs of Siam (Thailand) that were originally attributed to Wilhelm Burger (published in book form by Mr. Pipat Pongrapeeporn, 2001). These photographs (found in Europe as part of a private collection) were compared to photographs of the same era taken by the Thai court photographer Khun Sunthornsathitsalak (Christian name: Francis Chit). When these photos were lined up side-by-side, it was discovered that what many had considered individual photographs (taken by two different photographers) were actually part of a set meant to be combined to form a panoramic view.

paragraph: The complete set of photographs (now correctly attributed to Francis Chit) are now back in Thailand and are illuminating a new generation of Thai and Western students, historians, and everyday people as to what Bangkok of the 1860s really looked like.

paragraph: In a recent book on Austrian naval visits in Siam ("Auf den Spuren von Österreichs Marine in Siam"), published in June 2012, the author W. Donko concludes that not only these pictures, but a substantial part of the 1869 Siam photo collection attributed to Wilhelm Burger was in fact taken by the court photographer of the King of Siam, Mr. Francis Chit.

paragraph: Already 2011 Mr. T. Akiyoshi and P. Pantzer showed in an article published in the magazine "Photo Researcher Nr. 15/2011“ that Burger had also bought most of his 1869 photographs of Japan from local photo studios there.

paragraph: The background of Burgers’ 1869 photographs taken in China has not yet been analyzed in this regard.
