paragraph: Megohime

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: In 1579, she married her second cousin Masamune at the age of twelve. Unfortunately, her wet nurse was killed by Masamune, who suspected that betrayers from the Tamura clan were involved in the assassination attempt on him. It is said that her marriage got worse for a while because many other handmaidens serving her were executed.

paragraph: However, after she moved to the Date residence in Jurakudai in Kyoto, her marriage seemed to be restored and she gave birth to Irohahime (Matsudaira Tadateru's wife) in 1594. From there, she had four children with Masamune, including Irohahime, Date Tadamune (the second lord of the Sendai Domain), Munetsuna Date, and Takematsumaru Date.

paragraph: Even after she lived in the Date residence in Jurakudai, she might have played a role of a woman diplomat to inform Masamune of the Kyoto situation. In a letter addressed to him, she wrote:"The world has not been stabilized yet. You should decide your course of action in accordance with the cause of the universe. Don't worry about me. I always have a knife with me. I'll promise not to be shamed."When Masamune died on June 27, 1636, she entered the Buddhist priesthood under the Ungo Zenji and called herself Yōtokuin.

paragraph: Megohime died on February 21, 1653, at the age of 86. It was the same day as the mensiversary of Masamune's death. Her graveyard is located in the Yotokuin mausoleum near the Zuigan-ji Temple.

paragraph: Hermann Usener

paragraph: Hermann Karl Usener (23 October 1834 – 21 October 1905) was a German scholar in the fields of philology and comparative religion.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Hermann Usener was born at Weilburg and educated at its Gymnasium. From 1853 he studied at Heidelberg, Munich, Göttingen and Bonn.

paragraph: In 1858 he had a teaching position at the Joachimsthalschen Gymnasium in Berlin. He was Professor 1861 to 1863 at the University of Bern, then at the University of Greifswald, before becoming professor at the University of Bonn.

paragraph: The "Bonn School" of classical philology was led by Usener with Franz Buecheler.

paragraph: Section::::Influence.

paragraph: Usener was a large-scale thinker who combined scholarly research with theoretical reflection. His research on the ancient world used a comparative method, drawing on a variety of ethnological material for the study of social and religious matters. His theoretical method was phenomenological or hermeneutical, and centered on social psychology and cultural history.

paragraph: He was influential most of all through his work on the formation of religious concepts, which influenced thinkers such as Albrecht Dieterich, Ludwig Radermacher, Aby Warburg, Walter F. Otto, and Ernst Cassirer.

paragraph: In his book on “the names of gods” ("Götternamen", 1896), Usener introduced the concept of a "momentary god". This phrase entered the English-speaking world, to describe deities who seem to exist only for a specific purpose, time and place.

paragraph: He also trained an impressive list of students,

paragraph: and belonged himself to a long dynasty of students of Winckelmann.

paragraph: One such student was Friedrich Nietzsche: after initial support, Usener turned against him as a scholar after reading "The Birth of Tragedy". Other students included Hermann Diels, Paul Natorp, Hans Lietzmann, Albrecht Dieterich, Richard Reitzenstein, and Aby Warburg. Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, the leading German classical scholar of the following generation, studied at Bonn 1867-9; but tended to disagree with Usener. Their correspondence has been published.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: His works include:

On 4 September 1866, Usener married "Caroline (Lily) Dilthey" in Marburg (25 February 1846-14 March 1920). She was the sister of the philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey and the archaeologist Karl Dilthey. In 1899, his daughter married the classical philologist Albrecht Dieterich. Usener's son, Karl Albert Hermann (1876–1928) was an Oberleutnant.

paragraph: Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot

paragraph: Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot (26 February 1725 – 2 October 1804) was a French inventor who built the first working self-propelled land-based mechanical vehicle, the world's first automobile.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: He was born in Void-Vacon, Lorraine, (now "" of Meuse), France. He trained as a military engineer. In 1765 he began experimenting with working models of steam-engine-powered vehicles for the French Army, intended for transporting cannons.

paragraph: Section::::First self-propelled vehicle.

paragraph: French Army Captain Cugnot was one of the first to successfully employ a device for converting the reciprocating motion of a steam piston into a rotary motion by means of a ratchet arrangement. A small version of his three-wheeled "fardier à vapeur" ("steam dray") was made and used in 1769 (a "fardier" was a massively built two-wheeled horse-drawn cart for transporting very heavy equipment, such as cannon barrels).

paragraph: In 1770, a full-size version of the "fardier à vapeur" was built, specified to be able to carry four tons and cover two "lieues" (7.8 km or 4.8 miles) in one hour, a performance it never achieved in practice. The vehicle weighed about 2.5 tonnes tare, and had two wheels at the rear and one in the front where the horses would normally have been. The front wheel supported a steam boiler and driving mechanism. The power unit was articulated to the "trailer", and was steered from there by means of a double handle arrangement. One source states that it seated four passengers and moved at a speed of 2.25 miles per hour (3.6 km/h).

paragraph: The vehicle was reported to have been very unstable owing to poor weight distribution, a serious disadvantage for a vehicle intended to be able to traverse rough terrain and climb steep hills. In addition, boiler performance was also particularly poor, even by the standards of the day. The vehicle's fire needed to be relit, and its steam raised again, every quarter of an hour or so, which considerably reduced its overall speed and distance.

paragraph: After running a small number of trials, variously described as being between Paris and Vincennes and at Meudon, the project was abandoned. This ended the French Army's first experiment with mechanical vehicles. Even so, in 1772, King Louis XV granted Cugnot a pension of 600 "livres" a year for his innovative work, and the experiment was judged interesting enough for the "fardier" to be kept at the arsenal. In 1800 it was transferred to the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, where it can still be seen today.

paragraph: Two hundred and forty-one years later, in 2010, a copy of the "fardier de Cugnot" was built by pupils at the Arts et Métiers ParisTech, a French Grande école, and the city of Void-Vacon. This replica worked perfectly, proving that the concept was viable and verifying the truth and results of the 1769 tests.

paragraph: This replica was exhibited at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It is now exhibited in Cugnot's native village of Void-Vacon, Meuse.

paragraph: Section::::First automobile accident.

paragraph: There are reports of a minor incident in 1771, when the second prototype vehicle is said to have accidentally knocked down a brick or stone wall, either that or a Paris garden or part of the Paris Arsenal walls, in perhaps the first known automobile accident. The incident is unrecorded in contemporary accounts, first appearing in 1804, thirty-three years after the alleged accident. Nevertheless, the story persists that Cugnot was arrested and convicted of dangerous driving, another first for him if true.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Following the French Revolution, Cugnot's pension was withdrawn in 1789 and he went into exile in Brussels, where he lived in poverty. Shortly before his death, Cugnot's pension was restored by Napoleon Bonaparte and he eventually returned to Paris, where he died on 2 October 1804.

paragraph: Brendan Behan

paragraph: Brendan Francis Aidan Behan (christened Francis Behan) ( ; ; 9 February 1923 – 20 March 1964) was an Irish poet, short story writer, novelist and playwright who wrote in both English and Irish. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Irish writers of all time.

paragraph: An Irish republican and a volunteer in the Irish Republican Army, Behan was born in Dublin into a staunchly republican family becoming a member of the IRA's youth organisation Fianna Éireann at the age of fourteen. However, there was also a strong emphasis on Irish history and culture in the home, which meant he was steeped in literature and patriotic ballads from an early age. Behan eventually joined the IRA at sixteen, which led to his serving time in a borstal youth prison in the United Kingdom and he was also imprisoned in Ireland. During this time, he took it upon himself to study and he became a fluent speaker of the Irish language. Subsequently released from prison as part of a general amnesty given by the Fianna Fáil government in 1946, Behan moved between homes in Dublin, Kerry and Connemara, and also resided in Paris for a time.

paragraph: In 1954, Behan's first play "The Quare Fellow", was produced in Dublin. It was well received; however, it was the 1956 production at Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop in Stratford, London, that gained Behan a wider reputation. This was helped by a famous drunken interview on BBC television. In 1958, Behan's play in the Irish language "An Giall" had its debut at Dublin's Damer Theatre. Later, "The Hostage", Behan's English-language adaptation of "An Giall", met with great success internationally. Behan's autobiographical novel, "Borstal Boy", was published the same year and became a worldwide best-seller and by 1955, Behan had married Beatrice ffrench Salkeld, with whom he later had a daughter Blanaid Behan in 1963.

paragraph: By the early 1960s, Behan reached the peak of his fame. He spent increasing amounts of time in New York, famously declaring, "To America, my new found land: The man that hates you hates the human race." By this point, Behan began spending time with people including Harpo Marx and Arthur Miller and was followed by a young Bob Dylan. He even turned down his invitation to the inauguration of John F. Kennedy. However this new found fame did nothing to aid his health or his work, with his medical condition continuing to deteriorate: "Brendan Behan's New York" and "Confessions of an Irish Rebel" received little praise. He briefly attempted to combat this by a sober stretch while staying at Chelsea Hotel in New York, but once again turned back to drink.

paragraph: Behan eventually died on 20 March 1964 at 41 years of age, when he collapsed at the Harbour Lights bar in Dublin. He was given a full IRA guard of honour, which escorted his coffin. It was described by several newspapers as the biggest Irish funeral of all time after Michael Collins and Charles Stewart Parnell.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Behan was born in the inner city of Dublin at Holles Street Hospital on 9 February 1923 into an educated working-class family. He lived in a house on Russell Street near Mountjoy Square owned by his grandmother, Christine English, who owned a number of properties in the area. Brendan's father Stephen Behan, a house painter who had been active in the Irish War of Independence, read classic literature to the children at bedtime from sources including Zola, Galsworthy, and Maupassant; his mother, Kathleen, took them on literary tours of the city. If Behan's interest in literature came from his father, his political beliefs came from his mother. She remained politically active all her life and was a personal friend of the Irish republican Michael Collins. Brendan Behan wrote a lament to Collins, "The Laughing Boy", at the age of thirteen. The title was from the affectionate nickname Mrs. Behan gave to Collins. Kathleen published her autobiography, "Mother of All The Behans", a collaboration with her son Brian, in 1984.

paragraph: Behan's uncle Peadar Kearney wrote the Irish national anthem "The Soldier's Song". His brother, Dominic Behan, was also a renowned songwriter best known for the song "The Patriot Game"; another sibling, Brian Behan, was a prominent radical political activist and public speaker, actor, author, and playwright. Following Brendan's death, his widow had a child with Cathal Goulding called Paudge Behan; the two men were described as "good friends".

paragraph: A biographer, Ulick O'Connor, recounts that one day, at age eight, Brendan was returning home with his granny and a crony from a drinking session. A passer-by remarked, "Oh, my! Isn't it terrible ma'am to see such a beautiful child deformed?" "How dare you," said his granny. "He's not deformed, he's just drunk!"

paragraph: Behan left school at 13 to follow in his father's footsteps as a house painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Republican activities.

paragraph: In 1937, the family moved to a new local council housing scheme in Crumlin. Behan became a member of Fianna Éireann, the youth organisation of the IRA. He published his first poems and prose in the organisation's magazine, "Fianna: the Voice of Young Ireland". In 1931 he also became the youngest contributor to be published in the "Irish Press" with his poem "Reply of Young Boy to Pro-English verses".

paragraph: At sixteen, Behan joined the IRA and embarked on an unauthorised solo mission to England to blow up the Liverpool docks. He was arrested and found in possession of explosives. Behan was sentenced to three years in a borstal (Hollesley Bay, once under the care of Cyril Joyce) and did not return to Ireland until 1941. He wrote about these years in his autobiography, "Borstal Boy". In 1942, during the timeframe leading to the IRA's Northern Campaign, Behan was tried for the attempted murder of two Detectives of the Garda Síochána. The assassinations were to take place in Dublin at a commemoration ceremony for Wolfe Tone, the father of Irish Republicanism. Sentenced to fourteen years in prison, Behan was incarcerated in Mountjoy Prison and the Curragh Camp. These experiences were recalled in "Confessions of an Irish Rebel." Released under a general amnesty for IRA prisoners and internees in 1946, his activist career was over by the age of twenty-three. Aside from a short prison sentence he received in 1947 for his part in trying to break a fellow IRA member out of a Manchester jail, he effectively left the IRA, though he remained great friends with Cathal Goulding.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Behan the writer.

paragraph: Behan's prison experiences were central to his future writing career. In Mountjoy he wrote his first play, "The Landlady", and also began to write short stories and other prose. It was a literary magazine called "Envoy" (A Review of Literature and Art), founded by John Ryan, that first published Behan's short stories and his first poem. Some of his early work was also published in "The Bell," the leading Irish literary magazine of the time. He also learned Irish in prison and, after his release in 1946, he spent some time in the Gaeltacht areas of Galway and Kerry, where he started writing poetry in Irish. He left Ireland and all its perceived social pressures to live in Paris in the early 1950s. There he felt he could lose himself and release the artist within. Although he still drank heavily, he managed to earn a living, supposedly by writing pornography. By the time he returned to Ireland, he had become a writer who drank too much, rather than a drinker who talked about what he was going to write. He had also developed the knowledge that to succeed, he would have to discipline himself. Throughout the rest of his writing career, he would rise at seven in the morning and work until noon—when the pubs opened. He began to write for various newspapers, such as "The Irish Times," and also for radio, which broadcast a play of his entitled "The Leaving Party". Additionally, he cultivated a reputation as carouser-in-chief and swayed shoulder-to-shoulder with other literati of the day that he had got to know through Envoy and who used the pub, McDaid's, as their base: Flann O'Brien, Patrick Kavanagh, Patrick Swift, Anthony Cronin, J. P. Donleavy and artist Desmond MacNamara whose bust of Behan is on display at the National Writers Museum. For unknown reasons Behan had a major falling-out with Kavanagh, who reportedly would visibly shudder at the mention of Behan's name and who referred to Behan as "evil incarnate".

paragraph: Behan's fortunes changed in 1954 with the appearance of his play "The Quare Fellow"—his major breakthrough at last. Originally called "The Twisting of Another Rope" and influenced by his time spent in jail, it chronicles the vicissitudes of prison life leading up to the execution of "the quare fellow"—a character who is never seen. The prison dialogue is vivid and laced with satire, but reveals to the reader the human detritus that surrounds capital punishment. It was produced in the Pike Theatre in Dublin. The play ran for six months. In May 1956, "The Quare Fellow" opened in the Theatre Royal Stratford East, in a production by Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop. Subsequently it transferred to the West End. Behan generated immense publicity for "The Quare Fellow" as a result of a drunken appearance on the Malcolm Muggeridge TV show. The English, relatively unaccustomed to public drunkenness in authors, took him to their hearts. A fellow guest on the show, Irish-American actor Jackie Gleason, reportedly said about the incident: "It wasn't an act of God, but an act of Guinness!" Behan and Gleason went on to forge a friendship. Behan loved the story of how, walking along the street in London shortly after this episode, a Cockney approached him and exclaimed that he understood every word he had said—drunk or not—but had not a clue what "that bugger Muggeridge was on about!" While addled, Brendan would clamber on stage and recite the play's signature song "The Auld Triangle". The transfer of the play to Broadway provided Behan with international recognition. Rumours still abound that Littlewood contributed much of the text of "The Quare Fellow" and led to the saying, "Dylan Thomas wrote Under Milk Wood, Brendan Behan wrote under Littlewood". She remained a supporter, visiting him in Dublin in 1960.

paragraph: In 1957, his Irish language play, "An Giall" ("The Hostage") opened in the Damer Theatre, Dublin. Reminiscent of Frank O'Connor's Guests of the Nation, it portrays the detention, in a teeming Dublin house in the late 1950s, of a British conscript soldier seized by the IRA as a hostage pending the scheduled execution in Northern Ireland of an imprisoned IRA volunteer. The hostage falls in love with an Irish convent girl, Teresa, working as a maid in the house. Their innocent world of love is incongruous among their surroundings—the house also serves as a brothel. In the end, the hostage dies accidentally during a bungled police raid, revealing the human cost of war—a universal suffering. The subsequent English-language version "The Hostage" (1958), reflecting Behan's own translation from the Irish, but also much influenced by Joan Littlewood during a troubled collaboration with Behan, is a bawdy, slapstick play that adds a number of flamboyantly gay characters and bears only a limited resemblance to the original Irish language version.

paragraph: His autobiographical novel "Borstal Boy" followed in 1958. In this vivid memoir of his time in St Andrews House, Hollesley Bay Colony Borstal near Woodbridge, Suffolk, England. (The site of St Andrews House is now a Category D men's prison and Young Offenders Institution). An original voice in Irish literature boomed out from its pages. The language is both acerbic and delicate, the portrayal of inmates and "screws" cerebral. For a Republican, though, it is not a vitriolic attack on Britain; it delineates Behan's move away from violence. In one account an inmate strives to entice Behan in chanting political slogans with him. Behan curses and damns him in his mind, hoping he would cease his rantings-hardly the sign of a troublesome prisoner. By the end the idealistic boy rebel emerges as a realistic young man who recognises the truth: violence, especially political violence, is futile. Kenneth Tynan, the 1950s literary critic said: "While other writers hoard words like misers, Behan sends them out on a spree, ribald, flushed, and spoiling for a fight." He was now established as one of the leading Irish writers of his generation.

paragraph: He learned to speak Irish at the home of the Nolan family in the Gaeltacht area of Galway in the late 1940s. Drs Sinead and Maureen Nolan (daughters of the house) never heard a disrespectful word or a hint of obscenity from him during that time. He was much loved and revered by their deeply religious parents, who recognized his genius for language early. They saw his theatrics for what it was: a device to conceal an exquisitely sensitive nature.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Decline and death.

paragraph: Behan found fame difficult. He had long been a heavy drinker (describing himself, on one occasion, as "a drinker with a writing problem" and claiming "I only drink on two occasions—when I'm thirsty and when I'm not") and developed diabetes in the early 1950s but this was not diagnosed until 1956. As his fame grew, so too did his alcohol consumption. This combination resulted in a series of famously drunken public appearances, on both stage and television. Behan's favourite drink (a lethal combination for a diabetic) was champagne and sherry.

paragraph: Behan saw that it paid to be drunk; the public wanted the witty, iconoclastic, genial "broth of a boy," and he gave that to them in abundance, exclaiming: "There's no bad publicity except an obituary." His health suffered terribly, with diabetic comas and seizures occurring regularly. The public who once extended their arms now closed ranks against him; publicans flung him from their premises. Although Behan cried out that he was a writer, inside he knew his fears had materialised—he was unable to generate another classic. His books, "Brendan Behan's Island", "Brendan Behan's New York" and "Confessions of an Irish Rebel", published in 1962 and 1964, were dictated into a tape recorder because he was no longer able to write or type for long enough to be able to finish them.

paragraph: Behan had married Beatrice Salkeld (daughter of the painter Cecil Salkeld) in 1955. A daughter, Blanaid, was born in 1963. Love, however, was not enough to bring Behan back from his alcoholic abyss. By early March 1964, the end was in sight. Collapsing at the Harbour Lights bar, he was transferred to the Meath Hospital in central Dublin, where he died, aged 41.

paragraph: It is believed that Behan had a one night stand in 1961 with Valerie Danby-Smith, nine months later Valerie gave birth to a son she named Brendan. Brendan Behan died two years later having never met his son.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Behan is frequently mentioned in works of popular culture. His work has been a significant influence in the writings of Shane MacGowan, and he is the subject of "Streams of Whiskey", a song by The Pogues. The Pogues song Thousands Are Sailing also features the lyric "and in Brendan Behan's footsteps / I danced up and down the street". Behan is also referenced in Damien Dempsey's 'Jar Song'. Behan's version of the third verse of "The Internationale", from "Borstal Boy", was reproduced on the LP sleeve of Dexys Midnight Runners's debut album, "Searching for the Young Soul Rebels".

paragraph: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones 2000 album "Pay Attention" features the song "All Things Considered", which contains the lyrics "Most of what he tells us no one's verified / He swears he was there the day that Brendan Behan died".

paragraph: Chicago-based band The Tossers wrote the song "Breandan O Beachain", found on their 2008 album "On A Fine Spring Evening". Shortly after Behan's death a young student, Fred Geis, wrote the song "Lament for Brendan Behan" and passed it on to the Clancy Brothers, who sang it on their album "Recorded Live in Ireland" the same year. This song, which calls "bold Brendan" Ireland's "sweet angry singer", was later covered by the Australian trio The Doug Anthony All Stars, better known as a comedy band, on their album "Blue". "Brendan" is Seamus Robinson's song-tribute to Behan. Behan's prisoner song "The Auld Triangle", (which featured in his play "The Quare Fellow"—this term being prison slang for a prisoner condemned to be hanged), has become something of a standard and has been recorded on numerous occasions, by folk musicians as well as popular bands such as The Pogues, the Dubliners, the Dropkick Murphys and The Doug Anthony All Stars.

paragraph: He was also referenced in the opening line of the Mountain Goats song “Commandante” where the narrator proclaims that he will “drink more whiskey than Brendan Behan”

paragraph: Behan's two poems from his work "The Hostage", "On the eighteenth day of November" and "The laughing boy" have been translated into Swedish and recorded by Ann Sofi Nilsson on the album "När kommer dagen". The same poems have been translated in 1966 to Greek and recorded by Maria Farantouri on the album "Ένας όμηρος" ("The hostage") by Mikis Theodorakis.

paragraph: A pub named for Behan is located in the historically Irish Jamaica Plain section of Boston, Massachusetts. A bronze sculpture of the writer stands outside the Palace Bar on Dublin's Fleet Street.

paragraph: According to J.P. Donleavy's "History of The Ginger Man", Behan was instrumental in bringing Donleavy in contact with M. Girodios of Olympia Press (Paris) to help Donleavy's famous first novel, "The Ginger Man" be published despite its having been ostracised by the world literature community for its "filth" and "obscenity".

paragraph: In the season 4 "Mad Men" episode "Blowing Smoke," which premiered on October 10, 2010, Midge Daniels introduces Don to her playwright husband, Perry, and says, "When we met, I said he looked like Brendan Behan."

paragraph: In May 2011, "Brendan at the Chelsea", written by Behan's niece, Janet Behan, was the first play performed in the Naughton Studio at the new Lyric Theatre in Belfast. The production tells the story of Behan's residence at New York's Hotel Chelsea in 1963. It was a critical success and is being revived for a tour to Theatre Row in New York in September 2013 before returning to the Lyric in October 2013.

paragraph: In Morrissey's 2014 song "Mountjoy," he references, "Brendan Behan's laughter rings / For what he had or hadn’t done / For he knew then as I know now / That for each and every one of us / We all lose / Rich or poor, / We all lose / Rich or poor, they all lose".

paragraph: The pop song "Brendan Behan's Blues" was written about the subject.

paragraph: Beatrice Emma Parsons

paragraph: Beatrice Emma Parsons (1870-1955) was a British painter and is best known for her watercolours of garden subjects. Parsons, along with George Samuel Elgood and Ernest Arthur Rowe, is considered one of the leading English painters of gardens.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Parsons was born in Peckham, South London, England in 1870.

paragraph: She was sister to Karl Parsons, a stained-glass artist, who commemorated their family in a stained-glass window in St. Matthew's Church, Oxhey. Parsons attended the Haberdashers' Aske's School for Girls and studied at King's College London, before attending the Royal Academy Schools, where she won three prizes. She lived in Hampstead after 1901, until she moved to Oxhey in 1907, where she had a studio until her death on 17 February 1955. During her time in Oxhey, she lived with her three sisters.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Although known for her garden paintings, Parsons originally experimented with historical and genre paintings and also created a few portraits, landscapes, and still-life paintings. She began painting, almost exclusively, garden subject watercolours in 1900. She painted in England, but also in Europe and Africa. Parsons preferred painting gardens in their summer colours, and specialized in the gardens of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Her work was featured on postcards and greeting cards during her time. Many of her paintings were used as illustrations in gardening books, such as "Gardens of England" (1908) and "The Charm of Gardens" (1910).

paragraph: Parsons' work caught the attention of royals and aristocrats. Queen Mary purchased over 30 of her paintings, and some were bought by the Duchess of Westminster and the Duchess of Harewood. She painted gardens for Lord and Lady Hillingdon at Overstrand Hall, and was invited every year between 1921 and 1929 to Blickling Hall to paint the gardens there.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: Parsons' first exhibition was at the Royal Academy in 1889. Her first solo exhibition, entitled 'Old English Gardens (Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter)' was in 1904 at the Dowdeswell Gallery in London, and was a near sell-out. She exhibited regularly in London during her lifetime, having 22 solo shows between the Dowdeswell and Greatorex galleries.

paragraph: Madho Singh I

paragraph: Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I (December 1728 - March 5 1768) was ruler of the state of Jaipur in the present-day Indian state of Rajasthan from 1750 to 1768. He was the younger son of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and came on the throne after the sudden suicide of his elder brother.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Madho Singh I was at Udaipur when his stepbrother Ishwari Singh committed suicide. In January 1751, when about 4000 Marathas marched into Jaipur and started plundering the city causing a riot to break up, it was Madho Singh who patched the things up. He freed the Kachhawaha Kingdom from the Marathas, won several important battles and defeated the menacing Jat king Jawahir Singh, rewarding Holkar for his help in gaining the Jaipur throne by giving him the parganas of Rampura and Bhanpura in 1753.

paragraph: Muhammad Shah's younger son Ahmad Shah was the Emperor of Delhi at that time. He was under great pressure because of the rebels outside and his own wazir inside. The wazir had become the de facto emperor. Ahmad Shah sought the help of Madho Singh who arrived at Delhi in October 1753 to meet the Emperor. Subsequently, he held long negotiations with wazir Safdarjung returned to his own province of Awadh. As recognition for his services Ahmad Shah granted Madho Singh the fort and district of Ranthambhore. In January 1763, he founded the town of Sawai Madhopur near Ranthambhore.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: He died in 1768 after a rule of 17 years and was succeeded by his son Prithvi Singh.

paragraph: Section::::Cultural Contributions.

paragraph: His contribution to the field of art, architecture, town-planning, literature and religion was remarkable. He founded the well planned city of Sawai Madhopur, built several palaces including Madho Niwas in the Chandra Mahal complex of the City Palace, Madho Vilas the leisure palace in the centre of Jai Mahal, the Sisodia Rani ka Bagah (Queens gardens) as well as several beautiful temples.The painting atelier (surathkhana) was rejuvenated and a variety of court scenes and several portraits were painted there. He patronized Sportsmen of his State and even sent them to other places within the country to take part in competitions. Likewise, he sent artists from his State to other places to exhibit their skills and produce. He was fond of watching elephant fights, bullfights and other similar sports.He had Shaikh Sadi’s Gulistan translated into Sanskrit. A few Sanskrit works were also attributed to him.

paragraph: Mirza Raja Ram Singh I was the elder son Mirza Raja Jai Singh I and was ruler of Amber (now part of the Jaipur Municipal Corporation), and head of the Kachwaha Rajput clan, from 1667 to 1688.

paragraph: He was subehdar of Kashmir from 1675-1680.

paragraph: Section::::Shivaji and Ram Singh.

paragraph: Shivaji, accompanied by his son Sambhaji and other officials and servants, was received by Kanvar Ram Singh at his military camp in the suburbs of Agra city (12 May 1666). Ram Singh escorted them to meet the emperor at the "Diwan-e-khas" (hall of special audience) in Agra fort. Here they gave a customary present ("nazara") of 1,500 gold pieces ("mohurs") at which, Aurangzeb cried out, "Come up Shivaji Raja!"

paragraph: Shivaji was taken to his place among the nobles who stood in two parallel columns in front of the throne. Shivaji didn't receive any gift or honor from the emperor nor had there been any serious negotiations for his position.

paragraph: It happened to be the emperor's birthday and robes of honor were given to the high ranked nobles like the prime minister Jafer Khan and "Maharaja Jaswant Singh" of Jodhpur (commander of 6000. But the "highest" ranking Mughal noble was Raja Jai Singh I, a commander of 7000). All this while Shivaji had been forgotten. Shivaji was deliberately made a commander of 5000 by Aurangzeb and was made to stand behind mansabdārs (military commanders) of his court. Moreover, the noble in front of him was Rai Singh, also a commander of 5000 but of a higher grade. The nobles in front of Shivaji were the ones whom Shivaji had comprehensively defeated in the past. Shivaji Maharaj took offense at this seeming insult. His loud voice and angry gestures caused a minor commotion, Ram Singh came to him and tried to calm him down but the Maratha king couldn't be pacified. Shivaji stormed out of the court and was promptly placed under house arrest by emperor Aurangzeb, under the watch of Fulād Khān, Kotwal of Agra.

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Company C was engaged in fierce combat with a Viet Cong battalion. Despite the heavy fire, Sgt. Robinson moved among the men of his fire team, instructing and inspiring them, and placing them in advantageous positions. Enemy snipers located in nearby trees were inflicting heavy casualties on forward elements of Sgt. Robinson's unit. Upon locating the enemy sniper whose fire was taking the heaviest toll, he took a grenade launcher and eliminated the sniper.

paragraph: Seeing a medic hit while administering aid to a wounded sergeant in front of his position and aware that now the 2 wounded men were at the mercy of the enemy, he charged through a withering hail of fire and dragged his comrades to safety, where he rendered first aid and saved their lives. As the battle continued and casualties mounted, Sgt. Robinson moved about under intense fire to collect from the wounded their weapons and ammunition and redistribute them to able-bodied soldiers. Adding his fire to that of his men, he assisted in eliminating a major enemy threat.

paragraph: Seeing another wounded comrade in front of his position, Sgt. Robinson again defied the enemy's fire to effect a rescue. In so doing he was himself wounded in the shoulder and leg. Despite his painful wounds, he dragged the soldier to shelter and saved his life by administering first aid. While patching his own wounds, he spotted an enemy machine gun which had inflicted a number of casualties on the American force. His rifle ammunition expended, he seized 2 grenades and, in an act of unsurpassed heroism, charged toward the entrenched enemy weapon. Hit again in the leg, this time with a tracer round which set fire to his clothing, Sgt. Robinson ripped the burning clothing from his body and staggered indomitably through the enemy fire, now concentrated solely on him, to within grenade range of the enemy machine gun position. Sustaining 2 additional chest wounds, he marshaled his fleeting physical strength and hurled the 2 grenades, thus destroying the enemy gun position, as he fell dead upon the battlefield.

paragraph: His magnificent display of leadership and bravery saved several lives and inspired his soldiers to defeat the numerically superior enemy force. Sgt. Robinson's conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, at the cost of his life, are in keeping with the finest traditions of the U.S. Army and reflect great credit upon the 1st Infantry Division and the U.S. Armed Forces.

paragraph: Rob Henry (American football)

paragraph: Robert Wayne Henry, III (born January 26, 1990) is a former American football safety. He previously played safety and quarterback for the Purdue Boilermakers.

paragraph: Henry attended Trinity Catholic High School in Ocala, Florida, where he played both football and baseball, and competed in track & field. Henry led Trinity Catholic to two conference championships and a runner-up in the 2B State Championship game. He ended his high school football career with over 4,300 total yards and 39 touchdowns. After his senior season, he moved on to Purdue University where he redshirted in 2009.

paragraph: In his first collegiate appearance, Henry ran for 16-yards against Notre Dame. He would later assume the starting quarterback position after an injury to Robert Marve. His first career start was against Northwestern, which saw him lead the Boilermakers to a 20-17 win on the road lead by his career high, 132 yards rushing. Henry went on to start 5 games for the season, with a 3-game set back, which he injured a finger on his throwing hand. Against Minnesota he had a career-high running for 3 touchdowns. In the final game of the season against Indiana he had a career-high 252 yard passing and 3 touchdown passes. He became the first Purdue quarterback to lead the Boilermakers in both passing and rushing yardage in the same season, with 996 passing yards and 547 yards rushing.

paragraph: After a starting quarterback battle in the off season, Henry was named the Boilermakers' starting quarterback for the 2011 season and was voted co-captain, but he tore the ACL in his right knee. With backup Marve still recovering from his owen ACL injury, Caleb TerBush took over as the starting quarterback in their place.

paragraph: Henry returned in 2012, and was named the third-string quarterback behind TerBush and Marve. To get on the field, the Boilermakers used Henry as both a running back and wide receiver, in addition to quarterbacking.

paragraph: Henry was named the starting quarterback for the Boilermakers during 2013 fall camp. Henry beat out true freshman, Danny Etling, and redshirt freshman, Austin Appleby. Henry started the first 5 games of the season for the Boilermakers, before being replaced just before halftime during their 5 game of the season by Etling. The week following Henry's removal from quarterback, he was moved to safety.

paragraph: Section::::High school career.

paragraph: Henry went to Trinity Catholic High School in Ocala, Florida. There he was coached by John Brantley, and was a Mr. Football finalist and first team all-state after passing for 2,600 yards and 24 touchdowns as senior, while rushing for 350 yards and six touchdowns. He led the Celtics to the 2B state championship game, but lost 21–17 to Pahokee High School. As a result, he was named to Reebok Florida Phenoms third team. It wasn't clear if he would start as a junior, but he won the battle, and went on to pass for 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns while also rushing for 250 yards and five scores, while missing some time with a knee injury.

paragraph: He was a two-time all-county selection in football, and led his team to state finals his senior season. As a freshman and sophomore, he played free safety and wide receiver, while John Brantley was at quarterback. He was a first team all-division his freshman and sophomore seasons. He also participated in basketball and track and field.

paragraph: Henry committed to Purdue University on July 23, 2008. He choose Purdue over football scholarships from Vanderbilt University and Northern Illinois University.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

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

paragraph: In 2009, Henry sat for the season using his redshirt to learn head coach Danny Hope's offense.

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

paragraph: The 2010 season began with Henry slated second on the depth chart behind transfer, Robert Marve. However, Hope said that Henry would see playing time even if the game was still undecided. Against Notre Dame, Henry only got three carries for 16 yards. After a win against Minnesota, he was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week. He was named the team's Leonard Wilson Award winner (unselfishness and dedication). He was also the first Purdue quarterback in school history to lead the team in both rushing and passing yardage in a season. He completed 86 of 162 pass attempts (53.1 percent) for 996 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions, while rushing for 547 yards and four touchdowns on 104 attempts (5.3 yards per carry). For the season, Henry appeared in 11 games, making seven starts in 2010.

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

paragraph: After a starting quarterback battle in the off season, Henry was named the Boilermakers' starting quarterback for the 2011 season, but he tore the ACL in his right knee. With backup Marve still recovering from his own ACL injury, Caleb TerBush took over as the starting quarterback in their place.

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

paragraph: Henry entered his junior season looking at splitting playing time with TerBush and Marve. With TerBush working mostly with the first team, he was expected to start the first game of the year, until it was announced (one hour prior to gametime) that he had been suspended and Marve was the starting quarterback. Henry was promoted to second string, seeing most of his action in the second half of play. Henry finished the day 7 for 9 passing for 1 touchdown and 1 interception. After not playing in the Notre Dame game, Henry was named the backup against Eastern Michigan, as Marve was sidelined with his third ACL tear. Henry played a few plays in the second quarter, before seeing increased playing time in the 3rd quarter due to the Boilermakers large lead. Most of his plays came throwing the ball, as Coach Hope felt that was his largest area in need of improvement.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2013 season.

paragraph: With Marve and TerBush out of the mix due to graduation, and new Purdue head coach Darrell Hazell, Henry entered fall camp with the Boilermakers competing with freshmen Danny Etling and Austin Appleby for Purdue's starting quarterback spot. Two weeks before the regular season opener at Cincinnati, Hazell named Henry Purdue's starting quarterback.

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

paragraph: As of the end of the 2013 regular season, Henry's statistics are as follows:

paragraph: Henry had a 3–9 career record as the starting quarterback for Purdue.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: On May 10, 2014, Henry signed as an undrafted free agent with the Oakland Raiders.

paragraph: Section::::Playing style.

paragraph: Clifford Addams

paragraph: Clifford Isaac Addams (May 25, 1876 – November 7, 1942) was an American painter and etcher, and a protégé of James MacNeill Whistler.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Addams was born in Woodbury, New Jersey, the son of Quaker wool merchant Wellington Isaac Addams and Sarah Neff Addams. He had an older brother Robert and a younger sister Florence.

paragraph: Addams studied architecture at the Drexel Institute, then attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He won an 1899 traveling scholarship from PAFA, which enabled him to study in Europe. The prior year, Whistler opened an art school in Paris—the Académie Carmen, operated by the artist's former model, Carmen Rossi. Addams enrolled, and became a favored pupil of the celebrated artist.

paragraph: Addams met fellow student Inez Eleanor Bate, and they married in London on June 27, 1900. They helped to run the school and care for Whistler, who was in failing health. After the school closed its doors in 1901, the couple settled in London. They had four children: Dianne (b. 1901) – Whistler was her godfather, twins James and Anthony (b. 1904), and Martin (b. ). Addams painted portraits and figure works, and made etchings of London and other European cities. He served in the Royal Navy from 1914 to 1919, during World War I. In 1920, he separated from his wife and family, citing her "extreme cruelty" in divorce proceedings. He returned to the United States, while she raised their children in Hendon, London. He settled in the Greenwich Village section of Lower Manhattan, where he died in 1942.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Painter.

paragraph: John Sloan commented on one of the works Addams exhibited at PAFA's 1907 annual exhibition: "Clifford Addams is a theme of interest. His nude in the show is a fine thing. If Whistler had done it, it would be a great Whistler." After meeting him, Sloan wrote: "Clifford Addams seems to be not at all the weird eccentric we have heard him described during the last six years. Either he has changed or Dame Rumor is a liar, the last most likely."

paragraph: Addams exhibited sporadically at PAFA from 1907 and 1937. His "Odalisque", exhibited in 1913, is fully clothed and coolly appraises the viewer. His "At Play", a scene of a young woman in a kimono playing with a pet bird, was a traditionalist subject, but Addams painted it with modernist brushwork. It was exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1922, at PAFA in 1923, and at the National Academy of Design in 1924, where it was awarded the Thomas B. Clark Prize (best figure work by an American artist painted in the United States). PAFA awarded him its 1925 Temple Gold Medal for "Washington Square, New York".

paragraph: The Clark Galleries in Manhattan hosted a one-man show of Addams's works in April 1910. The Arlington Galleries in Manhattan hosted a one-man show of his works in December 1923.

paragraph: Addams exhibited five oil portraits (including a self-portrait), two war sketches, and a watercolor at the 1926 Sesqui-Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.

paragraph: In 1928, Addams completed five murals for the City Council Chamber of City Hall in Asheville, North Carolina. "These depict the story of the Indians and the early white settlers."

paragraph: His paintings are in the collections of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago and private collections.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Etcher.

paragraph: Addams was a superb draftsman, and became a master etcher, manipulating his copper plates with variated inkings and wipings. Etchings such as "An Obscure Turning, Venice" come in daylight and night time versions, depending upon how Addams chose to apply the inks. He visited Venice for the first time in 1913, and had a triumphant London exhibition of the resulting etchings in Spring 1914. He joined the Royal Navy later that year, and sketches he made during his service were adapted into etchings of ships and naval battles, after the war.

paragraph: Addams's exhibition of 46 etchings at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco was awarded a bronze medal. The Baltimore Museum of Art hosted a one-man show of his paintings and etchings in 1923. He exhibited 50 etchings at the 1926 Sesqui-Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.

paragraph: His etchings are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and other museums. A posthumous exhibition of his etchings and drypoints was held at a London art gallery in 1984.

paragraph: Joey Bart

paragraph: Joseph Andrew Bart (born December 15, 1996) is an American professional baseball catcher in the San Francisco Giants organization.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Bart attended Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. He became the starting catcher for the school's baseball team in his freshman year. He had a .556 on-base percentage and a .859 slugging percentage in his junior year, but was pitched around by opposing teams in his senior year, decreasing his performance. The Tampa Bay Rays selected Bart in the 27th round of the 2015 MLB draft, but he opted not to sign.

paragraph: Bart enrolled at the Georgia Institute of Technology to play college baseball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. After his freshman year, he played in the Cape Cod Baseball League.

In 2018, his junior year, Bart had a .359 batting average, the best in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), and a .632 slugging percentage, the second-highest in the ACC. He was named to the Golden Spikes Award watch list, and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference's Baseball Player of the Year. Bart also won the Johnny Bench Award.

paragraph: Considered a top prospect in the 2018 MLB draft, the San Francisco Giants selected Bart with the second overall pick. He signed with the Giants for $7,025,000, the largest signing bonus ever for a position player. Due to the layoff following the college season, the Giants sent Bart to their Scottsdale, Arizona, facility, before assigning him to the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League. In 45 games for Salem-Keizer, Bart slashed .298/.369/.613 with 13 home runs and 39 RBIs.
