paragraph: Sakanoue no Tamuramaro

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: Serving Emperor Kanmu, Tamuramaro was appointed "shōgun" and given the task of conquering the Emishi (蝦夷征伐 "Emishi Seibatsu"), a people native to the north of Honshū, which he subjugated. Recent evidence suggests that a migration of Emishi from northern Honshū to Hokkaidō took place sometime between the seventh and eighth centuries, perhaps as a direct result of this policy that pre-dated Tamuramaro's appointment. However, many Emishi remained in the Tōhoku region as subjects of the expanding Japanese Empire and later established independent Fushu domains. After Emperor Kanmu's death, the general continued to serve Emperor Heizei and Emperor Saga as

paragraph: He was the second man to be given the title of "shōgun". The first to receive this title was Ōtomo no Otomaro.

paragraph: It is said that the famous Tanabata festivals and parades of Aomori Prefecture (also celebrated in the city of Sendai in Miyagi prefecture), which draw over 3 million people to the prefecture a year, were popularised in remembrance of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro's campaign to subdue the tribal societies then living in Tōhoku. These annual "matsuri" are called the "Nebuta" festival in Aomori City and "Neputa" Festival () in Hirosaki City. They feature a number of gigantic, specially-constructed, illuminated paper floats. These huge festival structures are colourfully painted with mythical figures, and teams of men carry them through the streets as crowds shout encouragement. Aomori's great nebuta lanterns are said to hark back to Tamuramaro's innovative strategy in that early ninth century campaign. According to legend, the taishogun is remembered for having ordered huge illuminated lanterns to be placed at the top of hills; and when the curious Emishi approached these bright lights to investigate, they were captured and subdued. Until the mid-1990s the prize awarded for the best float of the parades was called the Tamuramaro Prize. However, there is no historical record that Tamuramaro went farther north than Iwate Prefecture.

paragraph: Tamuramaro's name is linked with payments for construction projects at Kiyomizu Temple ("Kiyomizu-dera") in the late 8th century.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 811 ("Kōnin 2, 3rd month"): Tamuramaro died at age 54, to the great regret of Emperor Saga, who expressed his sense of loss by distributing large quantities of silk cloth, cotton cloth and rice in honour of his dead counsellor. His bow, arrows, quiver and sword were placed in his coffin by order of the Emperor.

paragraph: Tamuramaro is reputedly buried at Shōgun-zuka, and his spirit is said to be guarding Kyoto still; but even if part of that tale is only myth, the recorded final resting place of the old warrior was near the village of Kurusu ("Kurusu-mura" 栗栖村) in Yamashiro's Uji district.

paragraph: Section::::Ancestry.

paragraph: According to the "Shoku Nihongi", an official historical record, the Sakanoue clan is descended from Emperor Ling of Han China. The Sakanoue clan's family tree shows that Tamuramaro is a 14th-generation descendant of Ling.

paragraph: Other research traces the origins of the Sakanoue clan from the Asian mainland, possibly through Baekje .

paragraph: Stephen II, Duke of Bavaria

paragraph: Stephen II (1319 – 13 May 1375, Landshut; ) was Duke of Bavaria from 1347 until his death. He was the second son of Emperor Louis IV the Bavarian by his first wife Beatrice of Silesia and a member of the Wittelsbach dynasty.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: During the reign of Emperor Louis IV his son Stephen served as vogt of Swabia and Alsace. The Emperor had acquired Brandenburg, Tyrol, Holland and Hainaut for his House but he had also released the Upper Palatinate for the Palatinate branch of the Wittelsbach in 1329. When his father died in 1347, Stephen succeeded him as Duke of Bavaria and Count of Holland and Hainaut together with his five brothers. Louis IV had reunited Bavaria in 1340 but in 1349 the country was divided for the emperor's sons again into Upper Bavaria, Lower Bavaria-Landshut and Bavaria-Straubing. Stephen II ruled from 1349 to 1353 together with his brothers William I and Albert I in Holland and Lower Bavaria-Landshut, since 1353 only in Lower Bavaria-Landshut.

paragraph: After the temporary reconciliation of the Wittelsbach with Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor, who had finally confirmed all Wittelsbach possessions, Stephen joined Charles' expedition to Italy in 1354. But soon the Golden Bull of 1356 caused a new conflict since only the Palatinate branch of the Wittelsbach and his brother Louis VI the Roman as margrave of Brandenburg were invested with the electoral dignity. Stephen II was the last son of Emperor Louis IV who was in 1362 absolved from excommunication.

paragraph: When Duke Meinhard, the son of his older brother Louis V the Brandenburger died in 1363, Stephen II succeeded also in Upper Bavaria and invaded Tyrol. To strengthen his position against Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria he confederated with Bernabò Visconti. Stephen finally renounced Tyrol to the Habsburgs with the Peace of Schärding for a huge financial compensation after the death of Margarete Maultasch in 1369.

paragraph: His conflict with his brother Louis VI the Roman on the Bavarian heritage of Meinhard finally caused also the loss of Brandenburg by the Wittelsbach dynasty since Louis then made Charles IV his contracted heir. However, Stephen accepted his brother Otto, the last Wittelsbach regent of Brandenburg, as his nominal co-regent when he returned to Bavaria in 1373. Due to the loss of Brandenburg the Bavarian dukes received a financial compensation one more time. Stephen was succeeded by his three sons.

paragraph: He is buried in the Frauenkirche in Munich.

paragraph: Section::::Family and children.

paragraph: He was married twice. First, 27 June 1328 to Elisabetta of Sicily, daughter of King Frederick III of Sicily and Eleanor of Anjou. Second, he was married 14 February 1359 to Margarete of Nuremberg, daughter of John II of Nuremberg and Elisabeth of Henneberg. All his children were from his first marriage, including three sons, who finally divided Bavaria among themselves in 1392 and one daughter:

paragraph: BULLET::::3. John II of Bavaria-Munich (1341–1397).

paragraph: BULLET::::4. Agnes (b. 1338), married c. 1356 King James I of Cyprus.

paragraph: Two of Stephen's sons (Stephen III and Frederick) and one grandson (John's son Ernest) were married to daughters of his ally Bernabò Visconti.

paragraph: In 1447 Bavaria-Ingolstadt was united with Bavaria-Landshut, which was seized by Bavaria-Munich in 1503.

paragraph: The Reverend James Wood (12 October 1820 – 17 March 1901) was a Scottish editor and Free Church minister. He was born in Leith and studied at the University of Edinburgh, living most of his life in Edinburgh. His admiration for Thomas Carlyle and John Ruskin may have contributed to his failure to secure a ministry. Instead he earned a living as a writer. He translated Auguste Barth's "Religions of India" and edited "Nuttall's Standard Dictionary", "The Nuttall Encyclopaedia", "Warne's Dictionary of Quotations" (later titled "Nuttall's Dictionary of Quotations"), Bagster & Sons' "Helps to the Bible", and a "Carlyle School Reader". In 1881 he published anonymously ", and Other Discourses, with a Lecture on Thomas Carlyle, by a Scotch Preacher". He is described by P. J. E. Wilson as " that most conscientious of pedants".

paragraph: Jim Radakovich

paragraph: Jim Radakovich is an American sculptor and painter living and working in New York City. He was a key figure in the East Village art scene in New York from 1982 to 1987 often showing together both Neo-Surrealist paintings and totem-like sculpture. He frequently exhibited with other artists who emerged at the time, including Kiki Smith, David Wojnarowicz, George Condo, Rick Prol, Peter Schuyff, Mark Kostabi and Marilyn Minter.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Radakovich was born in Illinois, the son of a corporate executive and an opera singer. His sister is the writer Anka Radakovich. He grew up in Ohio and finished high school in Maryland. After graduating from the Maryland Institute, College of Art with a BFA, he moved to New York City.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Radakovich's style is a combination of Appropriation, Neo-Expressionism and Neo-Surrealism. In his paintings, he uses cryptic relationships, sexual scenarios and psychologically charged tableaux. His Surrealistic atmospheres, cartoon like drawing and appropriated Modigliani-like heads are painted in a linear but expressionist technique. The paintings are frontal and highly colored often evoking the space of Indian miniatures. The sculptural works often incorporate totem structures that stack body parts and biomorphic elements. Although inspired by primitive cultural forms, the totems are modern urban signposts containing the dramas of city life. Disrupted narratives beg the viewer to unravel the tale that is set before them. His paintings are filled with urban dramas where the participants struggle with the problems of modern life, often with comical results. The figures in his work are posed in psychologically ambiguous terms. The elongated heads are Icons of humans in a mechanized society grappling with the questions of desire and nature.

paragraph: Radakovich's work has entered the collections of many prominent American tastemakers including fashion designer Todd Oldham, Ford Model's owner Katie Ford and hotelier Andre Balazs.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: As the East Village art scene gained momentum in 1982, numerous group shows lead to his first one-person show at Kamikaze in Chelsea in 1983. He came to prominence by exhibiting, in the East Village, both paintings and sculpture at shows at Sensory Evolution in 1984 and again in 1985.

paragraph: Radakovich and his contemporaries were first documented in Arts Magazine in September 1985. Written by critic Robert Pincus-Witten and photographed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders for Arts Magazine, "The New Irascibles" an essay and portfolio of photographs was based on the celebrated photograph "The Irascibles" of the Abstract-Expressionist Group taken by Nina Leen in 1951. It was meant as a historical overview and photographic record to preserve the participants of a short-lived scene in Manhattan where entrepreneurial artists and dealers opened their own galleries during the period between 1982 and 1987. After that time, most of these galleries and artists were absorbed into the Soho art world eager for new talent and they ultimately ushered in the explosion of the 80's art market boom.

paragraph: Solo shows at Bridgewater/Lustberg in 1986 and 1987 were followed by B-Side Gallery in 1986 and St. Marks Gallery in 1987.

paragraph: An important survey of work from 1984 to 1991 was exhibited at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in 1991. Radakovich had one person shows at the Takahashi Gallery in 1993 in Nagoya Japan, John McAdams Gallery 1995 in Chicago and Mat Thornton Gallery 1998 in Washington D.C.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2000 and after.

paragraph: After a one-person show in 2001 at the Sarah Denning Gallery in Chelsea, Radakovich continued to exhibit in groups shows in New York.

paragraph: An update of the East Village Art scene was included in the November 1999 issue of Art Forum. The historical significance of this group of artists was established by "East Village USA" at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City in December 2004 and satellite shows at the B-Side Gallery's "East Village ASU" and the Hal Bromm Gallery's "Vintage East Village" in January 2005 in which Radakovich's work was exhibited.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2000 and after.:Recent exhibitions.

paragraph: In September 2011 Radakovich was exhibited at The Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences in Charleston, West Virginia, as part of their permanent collection, called “Preserving a Legacy: 25 Years of Collecting”.

paragraph: The group show, “Crossing Houston” at the Smart Clothes Gallery on the Lower East Side in New York City, featured Radakovich in a survey of important artists from the East Village scene. September 11 to Oct. 11, 2012.

paragraph: John Gabalas

paragraph: John Gabalas () was a Byzantine Greek magnate and hereditary ruler of the island of Rhodes in the 1240s. He lost control of the island to the Republic of Genoa in 1248, and called for aid from his suzerain, the Empire of Nicaea. Nicaean troops retook the island, but it was not restored to John's control, becoming a Nicaean province.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Gabalas belonged to an old aristocratic family, dating at least back to the early 10th century, when Anna Gabala married Emperor Romanos Lekapenos's son and co-ruler Stephen. The family was of relatively low importance thereafter, but produced a series of senior civil and ecclesiastic officials in the 11th and 12th centuries.

paragraph: Gabalas family rule was established on Rhodes circa 1203, when Byzantine central imperial authority had become weakened, either by John's elder brother Leo Gabalas or by an unnamed relative. John succeeded his brother after the latter's death sometime in the early 1240s. Unlike Leo, who had exercised almost independent authority and even concluded treaties of his own, John was dependent on the Empire of Nicaea. While Leo held the lofty title of ""Caesar"" and claimed to rule several Aegean islands, John is only attested as "Master of Rhodes". A letter of King Henry I of Cyprus, found in the Vatican Library, appears to refer to John. It addresses him with the titles that he received from the Nicaean emperor, "sebastos" and "megas doux", and indicates that he was an imperial relative by marriage ("gambros"), probably as a result of a marriage to a Vatatzes lady, which may have taken place already before Leo's death.

paragraph: Almost nothing else is known of him and his rule except that in 1248, he was with the Nicaean army campaigning against the Latin Empire near Nicomedia, when the Genoese suddenly seized Rhodes. A Nicaean expedition, under the "pinkernes" John Kantakouzenos, recovered the island in a campaign that probably lasted until 1250. After 1250, Gabalas family rule over Rhodes was terminated formally as well as "de facto", and the island became a Nicaean province.

paragraph: Section::::Coinage.

paragraph: The Gabalas brothers issued their own copper coinage, of unknown value or denomination. They were aniconic, and contained only inscriptions, John's coins bearing his name and title: "+ΙW[ΑΝΝΗC] Ο ΓΑΒΑΛΑC" ("John Gabalas") on the obverse, and "Ο ΑVΘΕΝΤΗC ΤΗC ΡΟΔΟV" ("The Master of Rhodes") on the reverse. As Alexis Savvides points out, the omission of the formula "Ο ΔΟVΛΟC ΤΟV ΒΑCΙΛΕ[ΩC]" ("Servant of the Emperor"), that appeared on the coins of Leo, is remarkable, for in reality John's position vis-a-vis the Nicaean emperor was far more subordinate than that of his brother.

paragraph: Philip of Sicily

paragraph: Philip (born 1255/56, died 1277), of the Capetian House of Anjou, was the second son of King Charles I of Sicily and Countess Beatrice of Provence. He was at various times set up to become King of Sardinia, Prince of Achaea or King of Thessalonica, but ultimately ascended no throne.

paragraph: Section::::Sardinia.

paragraph: In 1267, Charles petitioned Pope Clement IV to appoint Philip king of Sardinia, since the pope claimed suzerainty over the island. The island at the time was divided into four judgeships, and was the site of several rivalries: between the city-states of Genoa and Pisa, between Guelfs and Ghibellines (the pro-papal and pro-imperial factions in Italian politics respectively) and between the royal houses of Aragon and Anjou. The judgeship of Logudoro (or Torres) was under Genoese domination since the death of the last judge, Adelasia, in 1259. Her widower, Enzo, who had been appointed king of all Sardinia by his father, Emperor Frederick II, was in captivity. On 11 August 1269 in Sassari in Logudoro, without papal approval, the Guelf party elected Philip king of Sardinia. The Sards immediately sent an envoy to Rome to persuade the pope to confirm the election. Despite the fact that both Genoa and King Charles had pro-Guelf and pro-papal sympathies, Clement refused to approve Philip. Charles soon had a falling out with his Genoese allies, and Philip's election was not recognised by King James I of Aragon or his son James, who had been put forward as a rival candidate for the Sardinian throne. Philip never visited Sardinia. The island did nevertheless produce silver that ended up in Charles's coffers after 1270, and with which he minted some coin.

paragraph: Section::::Latin East.

paragraph: Pursuant to the Treaty of Viterbo of 24 May 1267, Charles arranged for Philip to marry Isabel, daughter and heiress of Prince William II of Achaea. According to the treaty, Philip became William's heir in the event that the prince had no son, but should Philip died without issue, the inheritance would revert to Charles or Charles's heir. In June 1270, Charles's representatives exchanged oaths and ratifications with William regarding the marriage. The wedding took place "with great splendour" at Trani in Charles's kingdom on 28 May 1271. Isabel, who was only twelve years old, went to live with the Sicilian royal family at Castel dell'Ovo. In 1272, Philip and his older brother, the future Charles II, were knighted by their father.

paragraph: In 1274, the Latin emperor Philip of Courtenay granted the kingdom of Thessalonica, defunct since it was seized by the Byzantines in 1224, to Philip. The emperor was married to Philip's sister Beatrice. Philip never visited his nominal kingdom in northern Greece nor used the title, although he did visit the region of Elis in the Principality of Achaea. He promised to join the great crusade being organized by Pope Gregory X before the pope died in January 1276. On 23 May 1276, Gregory's successor, Innocent V, listed him among those who had taken up the cross in a letter to the Byzantine court.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: According to the chronicler Giovanni Villani, Philip fell gravely ill while "tightening a crossbow" ("tendere uno balestro") and took to the waters at Pozzuoli. That failing, he went to Bari to petition Saint Nicholas for a cure. He died, aged 21, between January and March 1277, and his rights in Achaea passed to his father, who duly inherited the principality upon William's death in 1278. He was buried in the cathedral of Trani.

paragraph: Franay was a French coachbuilder of renown operating at Levallois-Perret, a suburb on the prosperous north-western edge of Paris. The company was founded in 1903 by Jean-Baptiste Franay, a carriage upholsterer, following an apprenticeship with Binder. It was later taken over by his son, Marius.

paragraph: Franay dressed prestigious chassis: Bentley, Delage, Hispano-Suiza and Rolls-Royce and the Delahaye Type 135. After World War II Franay built the Talbot-Lago Grand Sport and in 1955 President René Coty's ceremonial car, a Citroën Traction Avant with a "three-box" modern body designed not by Marius Franay himself, but by Philippe Charbonneaux. It was, perhaps, indicative of Franay's parlous financial condition by this time that even for manufacturing the "presidential special" he used, where possible, parts already designed and in production for other manufacturers. The windscreen and bumpers came from a Ford Comète, the wheel trims from a Ford Vendôme, the rear window from a Buick and the tail lights from a Chevrolet.

paragraph: Franay car body production stopped in late 1955.

paragraph: Marius Franay was also involved in the film industry as owner of the Industrial Society synchronization and society Cinematographic prints, St. Cloud.

Conti introduced Portaluppi to Milan's high society and started to have the city's most important families as clients such as Borletti, Fossati, Venti and Crespi, Angelo Campiglio, and Mino Brughera. In 1920, Portaluppi designed two projects that are viewed as emblematic of his architecture: the skyscraper S.K.N.E. for the area of Allabanuel, and an utopian city, Hellytown.

paragraph: Gregor Schmidinger

paragraph: Gregor Schmidinger (born 16 April 1985) is an Austrian screenwriter and director. He is best known for his 2019 feature film "Nevrland" (2019), as well as for his short film "Homophobia" (2012).

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Schmidinger studied Digital Television at the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg. He wrote his diploma thesis about "Transmedia Storytelling", and studied screenwriting at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is member of the Austrian Screenwriters Guild.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.:As a filmmaker.

paragraph: Schmidinger's films deal with LGTB issues. His first short films, "" (2008) and "Homophobia" (2012), have combined more than 15 million views on YouTube. One of his inspirations for "Homophobia" was the suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer in 2011, attributed to bullying due to his homosexuality, and a video Rodemeyer had submitted for the Internet-based 501(c)3 non-profit It Gets Better Project. Although the title of the film was deemed generic by the audience, Schmidinger defended it as it "provides a way of reaching a broader audience with a single word: search engine optimization meets art".

paragraph: His first feature film, "Nevrland", premiered at the film festival Max Ophüls Preis in Saarbrücken and was well-received. It won the Best Youth Jury Award, as well as in the Best Young Actor category. "Nevrland" deals with the story of Jakob, a teenager who works at a slaughterhouse, and is struggling with a debilitating anxiety disorder.

paragraph: Russell R. Dohner

paragraph: Russell R. Dohner, MD (February 8, 1925 – August 7, 2015) was a general surgeon and private medical practitioner affiliated with the Sarah D. Culbertson Memorial Hospital in Rushville, Illinois. His selflessness as a hometown doctor gained him national attention as he was featured in People Magazine, NBC Nightly News, the Today Show, and other publications and media.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Russell Dohner was born on February 8, 1925, at home on a farm outside of Vermont, Illinois. As a child, Dohner suffered from very high fevers which would also cause seizures. Waking up from one of these seizures in the presence of his doctor, Doctor Hamilton, inspired Dohner's journey to become a doctor himself.

paragraph: After graduating from Vermont High School in 1943, Dohner was drafted in the spring of 1944. Dohner was a World War II Army Veteran. He served in a US Army Military Police unit in Washington DC. While guarding the Pentagon, Dohner was said to have met Harry Truman and General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

paragraph: After his military service, Dohner attended Western Illinois University (WIU) in Macomb, Illinois. with funds from the G.I. Bill. He was one of the first four pre-med students at Western Illinois Teacher's College and became the first doctor produced by Western Illinois University. WIU recognized him as an Alumni Achievement Award recipient in 1982. He also received WIU's Distinguished Alumni Award in 1990. Lastly, in 2006, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.

paragraph: Dohner later attended Northwestern University’s medical school in Chicago, IL. He graduated in 1953 and next served as a cardiologist intern at St. Luke's Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Dohner's original plan was to practice cardiology, but his plans changed.

paragraph: Dohner started providing medical services to the people of Rushville, Illinos and the surrounding communities in 1955. He didn't expect to stay but felt an obligation after the other doctor left town. In 1955, Dohner charged $2.00 for an office visit which was later raised to $5.00. He also did house calls and didn't take insurance plans. Patients would line up outside his office on the town square waiting for his office to open. Service was provided on a first-come, first-served basis and the doctor insisted on seeing everyone that came. Medical records were kept on hand written index cards. He worked seven days a week and never took a vacation. Dohner was said to have delivered over 3,500 babies. He worked seven days a week and his uniform was a suit, tie, and signature hat. Dohner retired in 2013 after 58 years of medical practice. He died at the age of 90 on August 7, 2015.

paragraph: Section::::Interests and honors.

paragraph: Dohner was civically active in the community and a member of the Rushville Rotary Club, the Masonic Lodge, and the Rushville Chamber of Commerce. The Illinois Senate signed a proclamation declaring that August 22, 2004, was Dr. Dohner Day. Dohner was the Illinois State Fair Twilight Parade Grand Marshal on August 8, 2013. Dohner appeared on NBC's Today Show several times including in 1970, 1983, 2010, and 2012. He appeared on CNN twice in 2012, once with Sanjay Gupta and once with Piers Morgan. Dohner was also featured in People magazine in 1983 and again in 2012. In 2013, Dr Dohner was the subject of US Congressional Record, Volume 159, Issue 180, titled "Tribute to Dr. Russell Dohner" by Senator Dick Durbin. Since 2013, the Doctor Russell Dohner Statue on the town square stands as a tribute for his service to the community. The community is currently working on turning his doctor's office into the Russell Dohner Museum.

paragraph: John Rushout, 2nd Baron Northwick

paragraph: John Rushout, 2nd Baron Northwick (16 February 1770 – 20 January 1859) was an English peer, landowner and collector of art works.

paragraph: Rushout was the son of John Rushout, 1st Baron Northwick and his wife Rebecca Bowles. He was born at St James', Westminster, London and was educated at Newcome's School at Hackney (rather than Eton like his father) and did not then go to an English university. Instead he was sent to Neuchâtel in Switzerland. In 1790 he visited Italy and while touring the continent became friends with many eminent men including Edward Gibbon, Horatio Nelson, Sir William Hamilton (diplomat) and his wife Emma Hamilton, Richard Payne Knight, and the Italian artists Antonio Canova, and Vincenzo Camuccini. While he was living at the Bay of Palermo was stranded there, and as a result he was the first man in Europe to receive the news of the victory of the Battle of the Nile, hearing it from Nelson himself. He was also party to a less glorious incident of Nelson's career, as he was at Nelson's table in the flagship when a gun announced the execution of Prince Francesco Caracciolo.

paragraph: Rushout developed a love of antique art from Sir William Hamilton and with Hamilton and Payne Knight purchased several collections of coins and other works of art. His art collection was to include paintings by contemporary artists as well as Old Masters, miniatures, enamels prints, coins and other collectible items. He returned from Italy in 1800 when, on the death of his father, he succeeded to the titles of 6th Baronet Rushout, of Milnst and 2nd Baron Northwick. He became a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (F.S.A.) in 1800. In 1832 he built a gallery for his collection at Northwick Park, near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, but this became too small. Northwick was a landowner behind many property developments in Cheltenham and purchased Thirlestaine House there to allow access to any art lovers who wanted to admire his collection. He also had a gallery at Connaught Place in London, which he sold in 1838, having transferred its pictures to Thirlestaine.

paragraph: Northwick appears in the accounts of Anthony Trollope the author whose father had rented a poor farm from him at Harrow. As the farm failed, Trollope senior referred to Northwick as a 'cormorant who was eating us up' and fled to Belgium in 1834 to escape arrest for his debts.

paragraph: Northwick died at Northwick Park in 1859 aged eighty-eight, intestate and childless. As a result his collection was sold off and items from it appear in many major art collections around the world. The barony and Northwick Park passed to his nephew, George Rushout. Thirlestaine House was bought in 1863 by Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bt. to house his own huge book collection.

paragraph: Robert Barker (physician)

paragraph: Robert Barker (died 1745) was a British physician and inventor. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society from 1732.

paragraph: Barker invented both a reflecting microscope, exhibited in 1736, and "Barker's mill", a prototype reaction turbine (1743). According to James Dodson, he was a friend of Charles Labelye. He died in London, on 9 September 1745.

paragraph: Section::::Barker's Mill.

paragraph: Barker's Mill, a rotating device powered by water and Newton's Third Law, is sometimes described as a 17th century invention. It is attributed to Dr Robert Barker F.R.S., in 1743. It was published by John Theophilus Desaguliers in his book "Experimental Philosophy" of 1744. Desaguliers, who himself demonstrated the mill to the Royal Society, attributed the principle involved to Antoine Parent. French terms for the mill are "tourniquet hydraulique", "moulin de Parent" or "roue à réaction".

paragraph: Leonid Khrushchev

paragraph: Leonid Nikitovich Khrushchev (10 November 1917 – 11 March 1943) was the son of Nikita Khrushchev, former leader of the Soviet Union, and served as a fighter pilot in the Soviet Air Forces during the Second World War. He was shot down and killed in 1943, although the exact circumstances of his death remain unknown.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Leonid Khrushchev was born to Nikita Khrushchev and his first wife, Yefrosinia Pisareva. He graduated from high school and afterwards went to work in a factory. During high school, he received two reprimands from Komsomol (the youth division of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union): one for drunkenness and lack of discipline, the other for failure to pay for membership fees.

paragraph: Section::::Air force career.

paragraph: In 1935, Leonid Khrushchev enrolled in the Balashov Pilot School of the Civil Air Fleet, graduating in 1937. In 1938, he returned to work as a flight instructor. In 1940, he joined the Soviet Air Force as a fighter pilot.

paragraph: During World War II, Khrushchev was part of the 134th Bomber Aviation Regiment, 46th Air Division, stationed in the Andreapol, Kalinin Oblast. He saw action in the Winter War against Finland, in which he completed over thirty combat missions and bombed the Mannerheim Line; after the war was finished on 13 March 1940, he volunteered to stay at the front. During the summer of 1941, he completed twelve combat missions and was presented with the Order of the Red Banner. On July 26, Khrushchev's plane was hit by German fighters near Moscow and he had to crash land, broke his leg so seriously that the bone protruded through his boot. He was then hospitalized and a doctor wanted to amputate until he threatened the doctor with a pistol. After recovery, his injured leg was shorter than the other. During his recovery in Kuibyshev, he associated with Rubén Ruiz Ibárruri. Impatient while idle, he would shoot bottles on friends' heads and killed one drunken naval officer by accident. Although court martialled, he was allowed to return to be a fighter pilot again.

paragraph: Section::::Disappearance.

paragraph: On 11 March 1943, Khrushchev's plane, a YaK-7B fighter, was shot down, with Khrushchev presumably being killed. The pilots of his squadron saw his plane explode and disintegrate in the air after being hit by Focke Fw 190's fire, allegedly while attempting to shield another pilot with his own plane. However, even though the area of his approximate crash was under partisans control, and several planes attempted to locate his plane's wreckage on the next night, his body was never found. This, together with the fact that his father was already a member of Politburo and one of the most important political figures in the country, gave birth to a number of conspiracy theories about the circumstances of his death.

paragraph: Two months after his disappearance, he was posthumously awarded with the Order of the Patriotic War.

paragraph: Thomas B. Bell

paragraph: Thomas Bell was one of Stephen F. Austin's colonists, having moved to Texas in 1824 although one record has him entering the colony as early as 1822. He was a soldier during the Texas Revolution and received bounty land for participating in the Siege of Bexar. He and his brother James Bell later donated the land upon which the town of Bellville, Texas was built. His will was probated in Austin County, Texas. He formally adopted a grown man who was living in Hamilton County Florida in 1855. This man John G. Slade turned out to be his illegitimate son by a Nancy Slade. Most of Thomas Bell's estate was left to this son who was already married to Penelope Green and had children when he came to Texas to receive his inheritance.

paragraph: Section::::Texian settler.

paragraph: In 1822, Thomas Bell moved to Texas from Florida with his brother James Bell. A different Thomas Bell is recorded on 16 August 1824, Felipe Enrique Neri, Baron de Bastrop granted Bell title to a league of land in what is now Brazoria County. This Thomas Bell can be traced until his death living on the grant of land in Brazoria, Texas until his death in 1849. His estate partition lists his surviving widow as Nancy M. Bell who received 1/2 of his estate. The remainder was divided in 1/10 increments to: Toila Bell, Laura D. Hinkle, Willis C. Bell, Emily A Bell and Christopher E. Bell. As head of a committee in Cedar Lake, a Thomas Bell corresponded with Austin on how to deal with the Karankawa Indians in October 1825. The census of 1825 recorded that a Thomas Bell was married with three children and made a living farming and raising livestock. A legal document from 1829 noted that his wife's name was Prudencio and his place of habitation as Austin Municipality. Noah Smithwick was a guest at Bell's pole cabin on the San Bernard River in 1835. A Thomas Bell served in Captain John York's volunteer company from September to December 1835, including the Siege of Béxar. Thomas Bell of Bellville is noted in his obituary as having been with Ben Milam in the Siege of Bexar. A Thomas Bell was the flag bearer at the Battle of Concepción in October 1835. Thomas Bell was on a committee that helped write the Goliad Declaration of Independence in December 1835.

paragraph: Section::::Texas independence.

paragraph: Thomas Bell received 2,000 acres of land from the Republic of Texas in 1837. It is known that a Thomas Bell was living with his family in Austin County in 1844. Since a new county seat to replace San Felipe was desired, he along with his brother James Bell donated the land on which Bellville was founded in 1846. The town grew rapidly. A courthouse and jail were constructed in 1848 and a hotel the following year. Bell later obtained a certificate for 640 acres in Archer County in north Texas. In 1857 he received an additional 320 acres in the same county. There is much confusion between these two Thomas Bells as they both arrived in Austin's Colony in the early years. Both Thomas Bells received leagues of land. Both Thomas Bells are recorded in Austin's earliest accounting.

paragraph: The Thomas Bell of Bellville along with his brother-in-law Benjamin Granville donated land to the Methodist Church on Piney Creek. It is apparent that the younger Thomas lived in Bellville most of his life while the other Thomas Bell lived in Columbia in Brazoria County until his death in 1849.
