paragraph: Thomas Young (VC)

paragraph: Thomas Young (born as Thomas Morrell) VC (28 January 1895 – 15 October 1966) was a British recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

paragraph: Section::::Details.

paragraph: Thomas was from High Spen in what is now the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead. He was 23 years old, and a private in the 9th Battalion, The Durham Light Infantry, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

paragraph: During the period 25/31 March 1918 at Bucquoy, France, Private Young, a stretcher-bearer, worked unceasingly evacuating the wounded from seemingly impossible places. On nine different occasions he went out in front of British lines in broad daylight, under heavy rifle, machine-gun and shell fire and brought back wounded to safety. Those too badly wounded to be moved before dressing, he dressed under fire and then carried them back unaided. He saved nine lives in this manner.

paragraph: Rosie Vanier

paragraph: Rosie Vanier is a British singer and keyboard player from Cornwall. She was a founding member and the front woman of Rosie and the Goldbug; following the break-up of the band in 2009, she embarked on a solo career, and went on to form the trio Lightknife in 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Vanier grew up in Bodmin Moor "on a plot of land with no electricity, no heat, no TV, just a piano". Her mother and part-Native American father used to go on cycle tours in Europe, playing folk ballads along the way to entertain passers-by. She studied music at Roehampton University, and then returned home to Cornwall to form Rosie and the Goldbug in 2007, with bass player Lee "Pixie" Matthews and drummer Sarah "Plums" Morgan. Rosie and the Goldbug soon built up a reputation as a live band in Cornwall and started to attract wider attention. They toured Europe with Cyndi Lauper for most of 2008.

paragraph: The band released an eponymous album on their manager's label, Lover Records, produced by Jim Eliot of electropop duo Kish Mauve; Vanier entered into writing partnerships with Marcella Detroit and Glaswegian band El Presidente for several songs on the record. In August 2009, Vanier announced via the band's MySpace site that "Rosie and the Goldbug are over". Vanier then embarked on a solo career, under the management of Fachtna O'Ceallaigh, who has worked with Sinéad O'Connor, U2 and the Boomtown Rats; she completed her debut solo EP, "Ep1", in November 2010. Since going solo, she has collaborated with Adam and the Ants guitarist and songwriter Marco Pirroni, who was introduced to her by O'Ceallaigh, writing and recording new tracks together. She released a second EP, "Black Cats and Black Stars", in October 2011, with a third, "Neon Nightmare", following in early 2012, supported by a solo UK tour; the EP's title track was featured on a "Music Week" cover-mounted compilation CD in early February.

paragraph: In early 2013, after some time out recording material in New York City, she was touring again with a band comprising Goldbugs bass player Matthews and drummer Bubs Taylor. Summer 2014 saw the release of the "Bad in Love" EP, under the band name Lightknife. Summer 2015 saw the return of Rosie And The Goldbug.

paragraph: Section::::Reception.

paragraph: Vanier's distinctive vocal and instrumental style has been described in "The Guardian" as "Kate Bush on crack with Goldfrapp on synths", her voice moving "effortlessly from seductive whispers to banshee wails". "Q Magazine" characterised her "enchanting howl" as "somewhere between Siouxsie & The Banshees and Cyndi Lauper having a sing-off with Kate Bush". A review of an Austin, Texas live concert in "NME" described her vocal style as ranging from Lene Lovich to Amanda Palmer. Simon Price, writing for "The Independent", stated that "classically trained singer-pianist Rosie Vanier has a voice which leaps from sugary pop to operatic whoops, her ivories chiming through a repertoire ranging from the turbulent to the serene, and even juddering Moroder electro-disco". Her first solo EP, featuring a more aggressive style, was well received in "The Cornishman": "... it's all here – Rosie's sex kitten, Betty Boop-gone-bad vocals, pummelling bass, choruses to die for and skittish hip hop beats. A definite step up from the Goldbug."

paragraph: Sewal de Bovil

paragraph: Sewal de Bovil (died 1258) was a medieval Archbishop of York.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Nothing is known of Bovil's origins or his parents, but he attended Oxford University at around the same time as Edmund of Abingdon, who became Bovil's good friend. He first appears as a canon of York Minster in 1236, and was holding the prebend of Fenton by October 1240. He was Archdeacon of York by January 1248, but had been named Dean of York by 21 September 1249. He earned a doctor of theology title by 1244.

paragraph: Bovil was archbishop for only two years between 1256 and his death in 1258. He was selected about 1 October 1255, and was consecrated on 23 July 1256, at York by Walter de Cantilupe, Bishop of Worcester. He received a papal dispensation to become archbishop because he was illegitimate on 11 March 1256. Pope Alexander IV then provided Jordan, an Italian, to the now vacant deanery, but Bovil objected and attempted to keep Jordan out. Alexander IV then excommunicated the archbishop in 1257. After a compromise was reached whereby Jordan received a pension, Bovil was absolved. Godfrey Ludham was then promoted to the deanery. In July 1257 he was appointed to a commission to mediate between King Alexander III of Scotland and the Scottish nobles.

paragraph: The archbishop died on 10 May 1258 and was buried in York Minster. Matthew Paris wrote that he was "a humble and holy man well skilled in law and other sciences."

paragraph: Godfrey Ludham

paragraph: Godfrey Ludham (died 1265) was Archbishop of York from 1258 to 1265.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Ludham's parents were Richard and Eda of Ludham, Norfolk, and he had a brother Thomas who was also a priest. Matthew Paris gives him the name Godfrey Kineton, but without any explanation of why that was his name. He attended a university, for he bore the title of "magister" but the exact university is unknown.

paragraph: Ludham was a clerk of Archbishop Walter de Gray before 17 June 1226 and was the rector of the moiety of Pengston by 26 August 1228. He was named Precentor of York by September 1249, and may have held that office by 1244.

paragraph: Ludham served as Dean of York from 1256 to 1258 before being elected as Archbishop of York about 25 July 1258. He was consecreated on 22 September 1258 by Pope Alexander IV at Viterbo. His brother Thomas was papal chaplain, and held prebends at York Minster and Southwell Minster. He was enthroned at York Minster sometime around Christmas of 1258.

paragraph: While archbishop, Ludham visited monasteries, and issued a set of synodal decrees for York were issued in 1259. He excommunicated the monks of Beverley because they had intruded into archiepiscopal property. In 1261 he put an interdict on the city of York for unspecified offences against the cathedral chapter and himself. Unfortunately, no register of his acts survives, so no detailed study of his time as archbishop is possible. He, however, does not seem to have played any part in the political life of the kingdom.

paragraph: In 1191 John, Count of Mortain, (later King John of England) had granted the church of Walesby and its chapelry of Haughton to the church of St Mary, Rouen, and in 1257, Ludham confirmed Rouen's authority to present Walesby's vicar, and specified among his dues and duties the chapel of Hockton with its tithes, and the joint funding with Rouen of repairs, rebuilding, books, vestments and other alterages.

paragraph: Ludham died on 12 January 1265, and was buried in the south transept of York Minster. In 1968 his tomb was opened and studied because of construction work in the cathedral, and his body had evidently been embalmed. A mitre was on his head, and he had his pallium as well as a crozier and silver chalice and paten.

paragraph: Ashot II of Tao

paragraph: Ashot II () (died 25 January 954) was a Georgian prince of the Bagratid dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti with the Byzantine title of curopalates.

paragraph: Ashot was the second son of Adarnase I, king of Iberia/Kartli and younger brother of David II (r. 923–937). David succeeded Adarnase as titular king of Iberia, but not as curopalates, this honorific being granted by the Byzantine emperor to Ashot. Ashot's original holding was the duchy of Lower Tao to which he added Upper Tao obtained following the death of his relative Gurgen II of Tao in 941. Ashot II also received from the emperor, c. 952, the Armenian canton of Phasiane. By virtue of holding the title of curopalate, Ashot rivaled the influence and prestige of elder brother David II, King of Iberia.

paragraph: During Ashot's tenure, the "Vita of Saint Grigol Khandzteli" was composed by Giorgi Merchule. Ashot actively supported the development of monasticism in Tao-Klarjeti and rebuilt the main church of the monastery at Opiza. Ashot died without heir and his lands and titles passed to his brother King Sumbat I. 954, the year of Ashot's death reported by the medieval chronicler Sumbat was confirmed by a Georgian inscription found at the historical village of Merenesi in what is now the Şenkaya district in Turkey in 2017.

paragraph: According to the art historian W. Djobadze, the bas-relief from Opiza which was brought to Georgia at the end of World War I and which is now on display at the State Museum of Fine Arts in Tbilisi, does not render Ashot I Kuropalates (died 830) and the Biblical King David as it has been sometimes assumed, but the 10th century re-builders of the monastery, Ashot II and David II.

paragraph: Azucena Villaflor

paragraph: Azucena Villaflor (7 April 1924 in Avellaneda – 10 December 1977) was an Argentine social activist, and one of the founders of the human rights association called Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, which looked for "desaparecidos" (victims of forced disappearance during Argentina's Dirty War).

paragraph: Section::::Life and family.

paragraph: Villaflor was the daughter of a lower class family, and her mother, Emma Nitz, was only 15 years old when Azucena was born; her father, Florentino Villaflor, was 21 and worked in a wool factory. Villaflor's paternal family had a history of militant involvement in Peronism.

paragraph: Azucena started working at age 16 as a telephone secretary in a home appliances company. There she met Pedro De Vincenti, a labor union delegate. She married De Vicenti in 1949, and they had four children.

paragraph: Section::::Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.

paragraph: On 30 November 1976, eight months after the beginning of the military dictatorship that had named itself "National Reorganization Process", one of Villaflor's sons, Néstor, was abducted together with his girlfriend Raquel Mangin. Villaflor started searching for them through the Ministry of Interior and sought support from the military vicar Adolfo Tortolo (though they could only speak with his secretary, Emilio Grasselli). During this search, she met other women also looking for missing relatives.

paragraph: After six months of fruitless inquiry, Villaflor decided to start a series of demonstrations in order to take her case public. On 30 April 1977, she and thirteen other mothers, including María Adela Gard de Antokoletz, went to Plaza de Mayo in central Buenos Aires, in front of the Casa Rosada government palace, chosen by Villaflor because it was a politically significant spot in the history of Argentina. They decided to march around the Plaza, since the police had ordered them to "circulate", in the sense of not staying. The first march was on a Saturday, and not very visible; the second one took place on a Friday, and from then on, they settled on Thursdays, at about 3:30 p.m. (this schedule is still kept at present).

paragraph: Section::::Disappearance and death.

paragraph: That same year, on 10 December, (International Human Rights Day), the Mothers published a newspaper advertisement with the names of their "disappeared" children. That night, Azucena Villaflor was taken by armed force from her home in Villa Dominico, Avellaneda, Buenos Aires. She is reported to have been detained in the concentration camp of the Navy Mechanics School (ESMA), which was run by Alfredo Astiz at that time.

paragraph: It was not until 2003 that exhumations by the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team ("Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense", EAAF, known also for having found and identified Che Guevara's corpse in Bolivia) identified the bodies of five women who had disappeared in 1977: Villaflor, Esther Ballestrino, María Ponce de Bianco, Angela Auad, and Sister Léonie Duquet. The bodies showed fractures consistent with a fall and impact against a solid surface, which confirmed the hypothesis that the prisoners had been taken in one of the many "death flights" ("vuelos de la muerte") recounted by former naval officer Adolfo Scilingo. In these flights, prisoners were drugged, stripped naked and flung out of aircraft flying over the ocean.

paragraph: Villaflor's remains were cremated and her ashes were buried at the foot of the May Pyramid in the center of the Plaza de Mayo, on 8 December 2005, at the end of the 25th Annual Resistance March of the Mothers. Her surviving children chose the place; her daughter Cecilia said it was because "Here [at the Plaza] is where my mother was born to public life and here she must stay forever. She must stay for everyone".

paragraph: A biography of Azucena Villaflor was written by historian Enrique Arrosagaray in 1997 and there is a street with her name.

paragraph: Wadjmose

paragraph: Wadjmose was an ancient Egyptian prince of the 18th dynasty; a son of Pharaoh Thutmose I.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He is likely to have been born a few years before his father ascended the throne. He had a brother named Amenmose; it is disputed who their mother was. If they were born to Queen Ahmose, they were full brothers of Hatshepsut and Neferubity. On the other hand, Wadjmose may have been the son of Queen Mutnofret and thus a full brother of Thutmose II.

paragraph: Wadjmose is depicted in the El-Kab tomb of himself and Amenmose's tutor , as sitting on Paheri's lap. He is thought to have predeceased his father. Wadjmose and another prince named Ramose were mentioned in the Theban funerary chapel of Thutmose I where Queen Mutnofret is also included. This chapel may have been erected during the reign of Thutmose II between the places where later the mortuary temple of Thutmose IV and the Ramesseum were built. A statue of Mutnofret was found here, making it likely that she was his mother.

paragraph: Wadjmose's name occurs written in a cartouche, which is quite rare for princes.

paragraph: Antoni Wysocki

paragraph: Antoni Wysocki (born May 25, 1884, in Poznań, died October 22, 1940, in Lviv) - a member of the Greater Poland Uprising, the commander of the Wilda military campaign, which was the first to reach the Bazar Hotel on the day of the outbreak of the insurrection.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Antoni Wysocki was born on May 25, 1884, in Poznań. He was a son of Michal (a saddler) and Maria Stępniak. From 1902 to 1904 he was learning to become a printer. He obtained the vocational certificate and worked in the vocation until the outbreak of the I World War.

paragraph: In August 1912, he started to organize the first scout teams in Poznań. Initially, these groups went under the name of "Towarzystwo Gier i Zabaw dla Młodzieży “Zorza”" (The Association of Games and Fun for the Youth “The Dawn”), later "Towarzystwo Skautów “Zorza”" (The Association of Scouts “The Dawn”), and finally the name got shortened to "Hufiec “Zorza”" (“The Dawn” Regiment). Antoni Wysocki became the commander of the regiment.

paragraph: In 1914, Antoni Wysocki became very active in "Towarzystwo Gimnastyczne “Sokół”" (The Gymnastic Association “The Falcon”). Among the authorities of the association, he represented the independent way of thinking (in contrast to the legalistic one). In January 1914, a new organization emerged from the Gymnastic Association. Its name was "Towarzystwo Gier i Zabaw Ruchowych "Zorza"" (The Association of Games and Physical Activities “The Dawn”). The aim of this organization was to promote physical activities and education. Antoni Wysocki was the initiator of this organization. One of the members of the committee was Salomea Kleps, who later became the wife of Antoni Wysocki.

paragraph: Ismail Fatah Al Turk

paragraph: Ismail Fatah Al-Turk ("Ismail Fatah") (1934 or 1938–2004) was an Iraqi painter and sculptor born in Basra, Iraq, noted for his abstract art, monumental sculpture and public works and as part of the Baghdad Modern Art Group, which fostered a sense of national identity. His monument, "al-Shaeed" is the most iconic public monument in Baghdad.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Al Turk was born in Basra in 1934. He graduated from the Baghdad Institute of Fine Arts in 1956 with a Bachelor of Painting and in 1958 with a Bachelor of Sculpture. and received a Master's degree in fine art from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma in 1962. While in Rome, he also studied ceramics at San Giacomo.

paragraph: He was very active in Baghdad's arts culture, joining a number of art groups including the Baghdad Modern Art Group (1957) and the "al-Zawiya" group, both groups were concerned with using art to reassert a sense of national identity by integrating Iraq's artistic heritage with international trends.

paragraph: Fatah taught sculpture at the Baghdad Institute of Fine Arts and ceramics at the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad. In 1986, he was the Chairman of the Iraqi Association of Plastic Arts.

paragraph: Fatah executed a number of murals and sculptures for public public display in Baghdad. Many of these pay homage to notable Iraqi poets, both current and historical; including bronze statues of Maaruf al-Risafi, an Iraqi nationalist poet active in the 1940s; the Abbasid poet Abu Nuwas and the Abbasid painter al-Wasiti. He held six exhibitions for sculpture and five exhibitions for paintings in Rome, Baghdad and Beirut. He was the winner of first prize for Arab artists in Italy.

paragraph: The most well-known of his sculptures is the turquoise blue split dome of the Al-Shaheed Monument (Martyrs' Monument), in Palestine Steet, Baghdad, and constructed between 1981 and 1983. "Shaheed" consists of a circular platform floating on top of an underground museum, and over which stands a split dome, 40 metres in height, clad in blue tile. He carried through all the design stages, along with a group of Iraqi architects, known as the Baghdad Architecture Group. The completed monument cost half a million dollars ($US). At its centre is a twisted metal flag pole and a spring of water to symbolise the blood of the fallen. Its aim was to commemorate the Iraqi dead as a result of the Iran-Iraq war.

paragraph: On the subject of the design for "Shaheed", Al-Turk made the following comments:

paragraph: While living and working in United Arab Emirates, Fatah contracted cancer. He returned to Baghdad where he died 21 July 2004.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Fatah's most well known work is "Shaheed" (also known as the "Matyrs Monument") built as a tribute to those who fell in battle defending Iraq during the Second Qadisiya (Iran-Iraq war).

paragraph: Thomas Trevelyon

paragraph: Thomas Trevelyon (born circa 1548) lived in England (probably London) and is believed to have been an embroidery pattern drawer. He is long known for having compiled two large manuscript miscellanies, the Miscellany of 1608 now in the collection of the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the Great Book of 1616 now in the library at Wormsley Park. A third miscellany, in the collection of University College London was identified as being in his hand in 2012, and dates to circa 1603.

paragraph: He spelled his surname "Trevelyon" in the Folger Miscellany and "Trevilian" in the Wormsley Great Book. The "Trevelyon" spelling was established in scholarly literature by 1966, but the "Trevilian" spelling was used in the monograph published in 2000 that resulted in his name entering the Library of Congress Authority File for the first time.

paragraph: Other than his own calligraphic rendering of his name, nothing approaching a portrait of Thomas Trevelyon exists. The drawing entitled "The author's apostrophe to the reader" once thought to be a self-portrait is, in fact, a stock figure illustrating a text bearing the title "The author's apostrophe to the reader" that Trevelyon copied out.

paragraph: Ruth Turner

paragraph: Ruth Dixon Turner (1914 – April 30, 2000) was a pioneering U.S. marine biologist and malacologist who became the world's expert on Teredinidae or shipworms, a taxonomic family of wood-boring bivalve mollusks which severely damage wooden marine installations.

paragraph: Turner held the Alexander Agassiz Professorship at Harvard University and was a Curator of Malacology in the University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, where she also served as co-editor of the scientific journal "Johnsonia". She graduated from Bridgewater State College, earned a master's degree at Cornell University and a Ph.D. at Harvard (Radcliffe College) where she specialized in shipworm research.

paragraph: Turner became one of Harvard's first tenured women professors in 1973, and was one of the most academically successful female marine researchers, publishing over 200 scientific articles and a book during her long career. She was also the first female scientist to use the deep ocean research submarine Alvin. Much of Turner's work was done in co-operation with William J. Clench. Among other things they jointly described about 70 new mollusk species.

paragraph: Organisms named in honor of Turner include two symbiotic bacteria associated with bivalves: "Teredinibacter turnerae" (isolated from the shipworm "Lyrodus pedicellatus"), and "Candidatus" Ruthia magnifica (from the deep-sea bivalve "Calyptogena magnifica").

paragraph: Henri Duparc (composer)

paragraph: Eugène Marie Henri Fouques Duparc (21 January 1848 – 12 February 1933) was a French composer of the late Romantic period.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Son of Charles Fouques-Duparc and Amélie de Guaita. Henri Fouques-Duparc was born in Paris. He studied piano with César Franck at the Jesuit College in the Vaugirard district and became one of his first composition pupils.

paragraph: Following military service in the Franco-Prussian War, he married Ellen MacSwinney, from Scotland, on 9 November 1871. In the same year, he joined Saint-Saëns and Romain Bussine to found the Société Nationale de Musique.

paragraph: Duparc is best known for his 17 mélodies ("art songs"), with texts by poets such as Baudelaire, Gautier, Leconte de Lisle and Goethe.

paragraph: A mental illness, diagnosed at the time as "neurasthenia", caused him abruptly to cease composing at age 37, in 1885. He devoted himself to his family and his other passions, drawing and painting. But increasing vision loss after the turn of the century eventually led to total blindness. He destroyed most of his music, leaving fewer than 40 works to posterity. In a poignant letter about the destruction of his incomplete opera, dated 19 January 1922, to the composer Jean Cras, his close friend, Duparc wrote:

paragraph: He spent most of the rest of his life in La Tour-de-Peilz, near Vevey, Switzerland, and died in Mont-de-Marsan, in southwestern France, at age 85.

paragraph: Duparc is buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. A square in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, near the rue de Levis, is named in his honor.

paragraph: Edwin Edwards (artist)

paragraph: Edwin Edwards (6 Jan 1823 – 15 Sep 1879) was an English landscape painter, etcher and lawyer.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Edwin Edwards was born in Framlingham, Suffolk in 1823 the son of a Norfolk squire. He trained as a lawyer and held the legal post of the King's Proctor and Examiner of the Courts of Civil Law and the High Court of Admiralty courts until 1861, when at the age of 38 he retired from the profession and devoted himself to art. In 1847, Edwards published "A treatise on the jurisdiction of the High Court of Admiralty of England".

paragraph: Edwards was inspired to become an etcher by the French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, whom he first met in Paris in 1861. Fantin-Latour made a return visit to Edwards at his Sunbury-on-Thames home and legend has it Edwards decided to become an artist that instant. Edwards went on to become a successful landscape painter and etcher, based in Sunbury and London. His subjects were mainly views in the south of England, especially Devon and Cornwall. He was well connected within European artistic circles, befriending and being encouraged in particular by Alphonse Legros and James McNeil Whistler, the latter also sharing a passion for vocal music. In 1861 Edwards made an etching trip along the Thames with Whistler, Fantin-Latour and Francis Seymour Haden during which he executed a portrait of Whistler sketching, seated, at Moulsey lock. Charles Keene was also a friend of Edwards as well as Jacques-Emile Blanche, Édouard Manet, Swinburne and Jacquemart.

paragraph: In a letter of 1874 Fantin-Latour described a projected double portrait which would depict Edwards sitting working at his etching table with his wife at his side 'like a guardian angel'. By February 1875 the couple were in Paris for the sittings. In the final painting, the artist produced a modified version of his first idea. Edwards sits at an angle, seemingly unaware of the spectator, while his wife faces the viewer with an uncompromising stare. The portrait was exhibited at the Salon of 1875, where it received a second-class medal. It was donated to the Tate Gallery by Mrs Edwards in 1904 and is currently on loan to the National Gallery, London.

paragraph: A French art critic wrote in 1879, "Edwin Edwards ira à la posterité, non seulement par ses œuvres, mais aussi par ses amitiés. On se rappelle le magnifique tableau où M. Fantin-Latour a peint les portraits de l'artiste et de sa femme". ("Edwin Edwards will live on in posterity, not only by his works, but also by his friendships. One remembers the splendid painting by Mr. Fantin-Latour depicting Edwards and his wife".)

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: Edwards was a prolific exhibitor, exhibiting no less than fifty-four works at the Royal Academy and one hundred and one works at various other institutions in the 19th century. After his death in 1879, a memorial exhibition was held by the Continental Gallery, London.

paragraph: Pandeli Sotiri

paragraph: Pandeli Sotiri (1842–1892) was an Albanian activist that acted as director of the first Albanian school of modern times in Korçë. Sotiri was one of the most important Rilindas figures that contributed in the propagation of the Albanian language. He also worked on one of the versions of the Albanian alphabet. The Congress of Monastir based Albanian's alphabet mostly on Sotiri's precedent work.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Sotiri was born in 1843 in the village of Selckë in the Lunxhëri region, Janina Vilayet of Ottoman Empire (now Pogon municipality, Gjirokastër District, Albania) . Along with Petro Nini Luarasi he was an alumnus at the Greek teacher seminary in Qestorati, Gjirokastër, where Koto Hoxhi secretly taught in Albanian and inculcated Albanian nationalistic ideals to his students.

paragraph: Sotiri was part of the Central Committee for Defending Albanian Rights created in Istanbul in 1877, and its branch Society for the Publication of Albanian Writings (), Istanbul, 12 October 1879.

paragraph: In 1884 he took over the publishing of the first magazine entirely written in Albanian, the magazine "Drita", which had first been published by Petro Poga. However Sotiri had to issue a new permit and to change the name of the magazine into "Dituria" (meaning "knowledge" in English).

paragraph: In early 1887 Sotiri was issued the permit to open the first Albanian school of modern times in Korçë. On March 7, 1887 the school () opened in the building offered by the "Terpo brothers", an Albanian patriotic family.

paragraph: He had married a Greek woman, the niece of an Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Church and had to leave the city for Greece that same year. As a result, the Mësonjëtorja was left in the hands of Thanas Sina and Petro Nini Luarasi.

paragraph: Sotiri died in 1892 allegedly killed by Greek Orthodox fanatics who threw him from the third floor of his apartment in Thessaloniki, Greece, with his wife and father-in-law being the organizers.

paragraph: Robert James (physician)

paragraph: Robert James (1703 – 23 March 1776) was an English physician who is best known as the author of "A Medicinal Dictionary", as the inventor of a popular "fever powder", and as a friend of Samuel Johnson.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: James was born in 1703, at Kinvaston in Staffordshire, to Edward James, a major in the English army, and his wife Frances, a sister of Sir Robert Clarke. His early education was at Lichfield Grammar School, where he became acquainted with his fellow student Samuel Johnson. He then attended St John's College, Oxford, from which he received the degree of A.B. on 5 July 1726. He was admitted as an extra-licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians on 12 January 1727/8, and in May of the same year was created doctor of medicine at Cambridge by royal mandate. He practiced at Sheffield, Lichfield, and Birmingham before moving to London, where he was admitted as a licentiate of the Royal College on 25 June 1765. He died on 23 March 1776, aged seventy-three.

paragraph: James's most notable publication was his three-volume "Medicinal Dictionary" (1743–1745), for which his friend Samuel Johnson wrote the "proposals", as well as several of the dictionary's articles (mainly at the beginning of the alphabet), including those for "actuarius" and Aretaeus. This work was immediately translated into French (as "Dictionnaire universel de médecine", 1746–1748) by the team of Denis Diderot, François-Vincent Toussaint, and Marc-Antoine Eidous; and it retained its popularity for so long that Mark Twain felt justified in writing a scathing critique of it nearly 150 years later, in 1890.

paragraph: Section::::Quackery.

paragraph: His fever powder, which he patented in 1747, was one of the most successful of 18th-century patent medicines,

paragraph: though he is said to have "tarnished his image by patenting his powders, and falsifying their specification". (It was considered unbecomingly mercenary to patent a medicine, and his falsification of the ingredients in the patent documentation would have been designed to prevent others from replicating his formulation.) The use of this preparation, a compound of antimony and phosphate of lime, has been cited as a contributing factor in the death of Oliver Goldsmith. James' fever powder has been cited as an example of quackery.

paragraph: George Ripley (alchemist)

paragraph: Sir George Ripley (c. 1415–1490) was an English Augustinian canon, author, and alchemist.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: George Ripley was one of England's most famous alchemists. His alchemical writings attracted attention not only when they were published in the fifteenth century, but also later in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. His writings were studied by noted figures such as the alchemist John Dee, Robert Boyle (who is considered to be the first modern chemist), and even Isaac Newton.

paragraph: A great deal of myth has grown up around Ripley, such as that he studied in Italy for twenty years and became a favorite of Pope Innocent VIII. He did however spend a number of years on the continent, and after his return to England he wrote his work "The Compound of Alchemy; or, the Twelve Gates leading to the Discovery of the Philosopher's Stone" ("Liber Duodecim Portarum") in 1471. The "Cantilena Riplaei" is one of the very first poetic compositions on the subject of alchemy. Most of Ripley's work is based on the work of pseudo-Ramon Lull, although "The Compound of Alchemy" is based largely on the work of a little-known alchemist of the fifteenth century, named Guido de Montanor.

paragraph: Another story about him is reported by Thomas Fuller in his "Worthies of England,", which describes a reputable English gentleman who reported having seen a record in the island of Malta which stated that Ripley gave the enormous sum of one hundred thousand pounds sterling annually to the Knights of that island and of Rhodes to support their war against the Turks.

paragraph: Ripley is known as the "Canon of Bridlington". He spent his later years as an anchorite near Boston (Yorkshire).

paragraph: Section::::The "Wheel".

paragraph: Some scholars claim that the writings of "The Compound of Alchemy" were meant to be read in light of an alchemical drawing done by Ripley called the "Wheel." This drawing is in essence an analogy of the planets of our solar system, of which at the time, earth was considered to be the centre. Ripley encoded his alchemical recipes into this drawing, depicting them as the planets which revolved around the earth, or, more specifically, the elements of his work. In alchemy, there is often an analogical connection made between heaven and earth, and this connection is symbolized by the use of the seven planetary symbols: Sol (Sun), Luna (Moon), Mercurius (Mercury), Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets correspond respectively to gold, silver, quicksilver, copper, iron, tin, and lead.

paragraph: Section::::"The Vision of Sir George Ripley".

paragraph: A commentary upon Ripley's works was written in a series of treatises by the English alchemist Eirenaeus Philalethes. Ripley's "Vision", written in the "Twelve Gates", became the subject of an exposition by Eirenaeus published in 1677 in London. The English form of the "Vision" gives a fair sample of the allusive style.

paragraph: When busie at my Book I was upon a certain Night,

paragraph: This Vision here exprest appear'd unto my dimmed sight:

paragraph: A Toad full Ruddy I saw, did drink the juice of Grapes so fast,

paragraph: Till over-charged with the broth, his Bowels all to-brast:

paragraph: And after that, from poyson'd Bulk he cast his Venom fell,

paragraph: For Grief and Pain whereof his Members all began to swell;

paragraph: With drops of Poysoned sweat approaching thus his secret Den,

paragraph: His Cave with blasts of fumous Air he all bewhited then:

paragraph: And from the which in space a Golden Humour did ensue,

paragraph: Whose falling drops from high did stain the soil with ruddy hue... (etc.)

paragraph: Section::::The "Ripley Scroll".

paragraph: There are approximately 23 copies of the Ripley Scroll in existence. The scrolls range in size, colour, and detail but are all variations on a lost 15th century original. Although they are named after George Ripley, there is no evidence that Ripley designed the scrolls himself. They are called Ripley scrolls because some of them include poetry associated with the alchemist. The scrolls' images are symbolic references to the philosopher's stone.

paragraph: Nathaniel Wells

paragraph: Nathaniel Wells (10 September 1779 – 13 May 1852), was the son of a Welsh merchant and a black slave. After inheriting his father's plantations, Wells became a wealthy land owner, magistrate, the second black person to hold a commission in the Armed Forces of the Crown (after Captain John Perkins). He was also Britain's first black High Sheriff.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Wells was the son of William Wells, who emigrated from a rich Cardiff family to St Kitts, where he was a successful slave trader and latterly became a wealthy plantation owner. After his British wife died, William began fathering children by his slave women – at least six, all by different women. Although rape was a well-known practice, Wells looked after both the children and their mothers, giving them their freedom and sums of money to live on—including Nathaniel's mother, Juggy, and leaving the bulk of his estate to Nathaniel.

paragraph: Section::::Return to Wales.

paragraph: Wells' father sent him to London to be educated. On completing his education he stayed in Britain and seems to have been accepted despite his colour and illegitimacy by other members of high society, becoming a respected land owner in Monmouthshire. Wells also became a magistrate, sitting in judgement over white people at a time when most black people in Britain's colonies – including on Wells' own estates – would have had no rights to such a court hearing.

paragraph: Section::::Slave estates.

paragraph: Wells managed his inherited sugar plantation estates like any absentee white owner. Wells would have had little control over the way the slaves he owned were treated, as the estates were leased out to local managers. The punishment of slaves by one of these managers was singled out for criticism by abolitionists and became the subject of an abolitionist tract, although it would appear that this was with the tacit consent of Wells, who refrained from suppressing its publication through the courts. There were only supposed to be 39 lashes administered in a certain period of time, while it was alleged that this manager gave 39 lashes plus a "brining" – putting pepper water onto those lashes to make the slaves scream.

paragraph: Wells remained a plantation owner and slave owner until emancipation was enacted in St Kitts in 1833, and was compensated financially by HM Treasury.

paragraph: Section::::Piercefield House and Monmouthshire.

paragraph: By 1801, Wells had property worth an estimated £200,000 and was married to Harriet Este (1780–1820), the only daughter of Charles Este, a former chaplain to King George II.

paragraph: In 1802, he bought Piercefield House, Chepstow from Colonel Mark Wood, after agreeing to buy it for £90,000 over dinner. Wells added to Piercefield until it reached almost 3,000 acres (12 km²). He continued the tradition of allowing visitors access to the grounds of his estate, among them the landscape painter Joseph Farington, who having met him in 1803 noted in his diary: "Mr Wells is a West Indian of large fortune, a man of very gentlemanly manners, but so much a man of colour as to be little removed from a Negro".

paragraph: Wells seems to have taken a full part in local society. In 1804 he was appointed a churchwarden of St Arvans Church near Piercefield, a position he held for 40 years. Together with the Duke of Beaufort he contributed to the upkeep of the church fabric, and St Arvan's distinctive octagonal tower (1820) was his gift. In 1806 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace, while in 1832 he was on the committee of the Chepstow Hunt.

paragraph: Section::::High sheriff.

paragraph: On 24 January 1818 Wells became Britain's first black high sheriff when he was appointed High Sheriff of Monmouthshire by the Prince Regent, and a Deputy Lieutenant of the county.

paragraph: Section::::Yeomanry commission.

paragraph: On 20 June 1820 Wells was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Chepstow Troop of the Yeomanry Cavalry of Gloucestershire and Monmouth. This makes Wells the second black person to be commissioned into the Armed Forces of the Crown, and no more black officers are known to have been commissioned until almost one hundred years later. Yeomanry commissions were signed by the Lord Lieutenant of the County, not by the King, as were regular army commissions, and those in the later Special Reserve as held by Tull. Wells' military service was not just an honorary role. As Lieutenant Wells, it is recorded that he took part in action against striking coal-miners and iron workers in South Wales in 1822. "Jackson's Oxford Journal" of 11 May 1822 reprinting an article from the "Bristol Mercury" recorded that: "It was then decided that a party of the cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Wells, of Piercefield, should form a kind of advance guard, and should precede the main body by about a mile, to prevent the breaking up of the roads." However, the road ran along a steep-sided valley, and his party came under attack from the iron workers, who threw down large stones and rocks. Even with the arrival of the rest of the Yeomanry, and the reading of the Riot Act, the road could not be cleared, and was not until three hours later, with the arrival of the regular cavalry of the Royal Scots Greys behind the workers, that the road was cleared. He resigned his commission on 7 August 1822.
