paragraph: Suleiman II of Persia

paragraph: Mir Sayyed Muhammad Marashi, better known by his dynastic name of Suleiman II (), was a Safavid pretender who managed to briefly become ruler of some parts of Iran from 1749 to 1750. He was in charge of the affairs of the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad.

paragraph: The young Shahrokh was enthroned at Mashhad in October 1748 by Iranian nobles. Two months later Ibrahim proclaimed himself shah; but he was defeated and fled. Sayyid Muhammad refused to admit him to the shrine city of Mashad. Sayyid Mohammad's mother was the daughter of Safavid shah Suleiman I, and so in 1750 he was enthroned by Mir Alam Khan Khuzaima and some Kurdish and Jalayirid chiefs as Suleiman II. Shahrokh was blinded but was restored to the throne after only a few months, as Suleiman II was removed and blinded.

paragraph: William Blades

paragraph: William Blades (5 December 1824 – 27 April 1890), English printer and bibliographer, was born at Clapham, London.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1840 he was apprenticed to his father's printing business in London, being subsequently taken into partnership. The firm was afterwards known as Blades, East & Blades. His interest in printing led him to make a study of the volumes produced by Caxton's press, and of the early history of printing in England.

paragraph: His "Life and Typography of William Caxton, England's First Printer", was published in 1861-1863, and the conclusions which he set forth were arrived at by a careful examination of types in the early books, each class of type being traced from its first use to the time when, spoilt by wear, it passed out of Caxton's hands. Some 450 volumes from the Caxton Press were thus carefully compared and classified in chronological order.

paragraph: In 1877 Blades took an active part in organizing the Caxton celebration, and strongly supported the foundation of the Library Association. He was a keen collector of old books, prints and medals. His publications relate chiefly to the early history of printing, the "Enemies of Books", his most popular work, being produced in 1880.

paragraph: On his death, his library was acquired by the St Bride Foundation as the initial collection of the library. The architect of the St Bride Foundation building, Robert Cunningham Murray, created a room to house the collection that was a near replica of Blade's original library.

paragraph: Sir John Beaumont, 1st Baronet

paragraph: Sir John Beaumont, 1st Baronet (c.1582/3 – April 1627) of Grace Dieu in the parish of Belton in Leicestershire, England, was a poet best known for his work "Bosworth Field".

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was born at Grace Dieu, near Thringstone in Leicestershire, the second son of the judge Sir Francis Beaumont (d.1598) by his wife Anne Pierrepont. His younger brother was the dramatist Francis Beaumont.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: John matriculated at Broadgates Hall (later Pembroke College) in the University of Oxford on 4 February 1596/1597, entered as a gentleman commoner. He was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1598 or 1600. The death in 1605 of his elder brother, Sir Henry Beaumont, made John the head of the Beaumont family, and he is thought to have returned to Grace-Dieu to manage the family estates. He was a Roman Catholic and together with his wife was fined for recusancy in 1607, and in 1625 was again in trouble on that account.

paragraph: He began to write verse early and in 1602, at the age of nineteen, he published anonymously his "Metamorphosis of Tabacco", written in very smooth couplets, in which he addressed Michael Drayton as his loving friend. After long retirement Beaumont was persuaded by the Duke of Buckingham to return to society. He attended court and on 31 January 1626/1627 was created by the king a Baronet "of Gracedieu, in Belton, County Leicester", in the Baronetage of England.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and progeny.

paragraph: Beaumont lived in Leicestershire for many years as a bachelor, before eventually marrying Elizabeth Fortescue (died after 16 April 1652), daughter of John Fortescue and paternal granddaughter of one of the only two married daughters of Sir Geoffrey Pole and Constance Pakenham. By his wife he had four sons, including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sir John Beaumont, 2nd Baronet (d.1643), eldest son and heir, killed at the Siege of Gloucester. He was considered one of the most athletic men of his time. He published some of his father's poems, and wrote an enthusiastic elegy on him.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Gervaise Beaumont, who died in childhood. The circumstances of his death are recorded in one of his father's most touching poems.

paragraph: Section::::Death & burial.

paragraph: He died in April 1627 and was buried on 19 April 1627 in Westminster Abbey. He died intestate and his estate was administered on 3 January 1628/1629. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Sir John Beaumont, 2nd Baronet.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Beaumont's major work is a poem in twelve books, entitled "The Crown of Thornes", which was greatly admired in manuscript by Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton and others. Though lost for centuries, scholars have established that a long poem in twelve books contained in a manuscript in the British Library was indeed Beaumont's lost major work. In 1629 the 2nd Baronet published a volume of his father's works entitled "Bosworth Field; with a taste of the variety of other Poems left by Sir John Beaumont". No more tastes were ever vouchsafed, so Beaumont's reputation rests on this the juvenile "Metamorphosis of Tobacco". Beaumont's favoured medium was the heroic couplet. Bosworth Field, the scene of the battle described in Beaumont's principal poem, lay close to the poet's residence of Grace-Dieu. He always wrote with a remarkable smoothness, which marks him, with Edmund Waller and George Sandys, as one of the pioneers of the classic reformation of English verse.

paragraph: The poems of Sir John Beaumont were included in Alexander Chalmers's "English Poets", vol. vi (1810). An edition, with memorial introduction and notes, was included (1869) in Dr AB Grosart's "Fuller Worthies Library"; and the "Metamorphosis of Tobacco" was included in JP Collier's "Illustrations of Early English Popular Literature", vol. i. (1863).

paragraph: John Hales (died 1540)

paragraph: John Hales (by 1470 1540), of The Dungeon at Canterbury, was an English administrator, politician and judge from Kent who played an important role in his native county and on a national scale.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Born by 1470, he was the son of John Hales, of Tenterden, but his mother's name is not recorded. His grandfather was Henry Hales, of Hales Place at Halden in Tenterden, who married Juliana, daughter of Richard Capell, of Lenden in Tenterden. His great-uncle Thomas Hales was the father of the politician and judge Sir Christopher Hales.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Probably admitted to legal studies at Gray's Inn about 1490, by 1501 he had been appointed steward of the Priory of Christ Church at Canterbury. In 1503 he was made a justice of the peace for Kent, and in 1504 was appointed counsel to the corporation of Rye, and was also elected bailiff of his home town of Tenterden. From 1508, he was appointed to various royal commissions in his native Kent, in Middlesex and Sussex, and across the Channel in the English possessions of Calais and Guînes. By 1509 he had residences at both Canterbury, where he had acquired the manor known as The Dungeon just outside the city walls, and at Nackington.

paragraph: In 1512 and again in 1515 he was elected a member of parliament for Canterbury, and was also retained as counsel to the corporation of Canterbury. In addition to legal work for the city, he was also employed in drafting legislation for the government. He became a Bencher of Gray's Inn in 1514, giving lectures in that year and in 1520.

paragraph: His further advancement was probably the result of patronage by Sir Henry Guildford, the Comptroller of the Household, In 1519 he was appointed Attorney-General to the Duchy of Lancaster, in about 1520 steward of St Augustine's Abbey, and in 1521 general surveyor of Crown lands. He retained the last, but gave up the Duchy post when he was appointed third Baron of the Exchequer in 1522. To this was added the responsibility of justice of the peace for Middlesex and Sussex in 1524. As a judge, he was no longer eligible for parliament and in 1523 his seat was taken by his cousin Sir Christopher. After six years in that office, he was appointed second Baron in 1528 but was passed over for Chief Baron the following year.

paragraph: He retired from his judicial position in November 1539 and made his will on 20 July 1540, asking to be buried beside his wife in his parish church of St Mary Bredin at Canterbury. His will bequeathed gold coins to his four surviving sons, his best gold ring to his cousin Sir Christopher, and a gold ring to his daughter Mildred. He must have died shortly after, but no date survives.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: By 1509 he was married to Isabel, daughter and coheiress of Stephen Harry and his wife Isabel, daughter and heiress of William Brooker. They had four sons and a daughter:

paragraph: William Dutton (captain)

paragraph: William Dutton (31 August 1811 – 20 July 1878), known as "Captain Dutton", was a whaler and seaman remembered as a pioneer of Portland, Victoria. Posthumously he has been referred to as "William Pelham Dutton".

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Dutton was born in Sydney, a son of Henry and Margaret Dutton, who had emigrated from England some years previously; in 1813 his family moved to Hobart, at that time a major shipping port. He was employed as a sailor by Captain John Griffiths, a whaler and merchant of Griffiths, Connolly and Sinclair.

paragraph: He first landed at Portland Bay near Blacknose Point in December 1828 with Captain McMullen in the schooner "Madeira Packet". They were hunting seals, but they had become scarce and Portland Bay became better known as a whaling centre.

paragraph: In July 1829 he returned on the schooner "Henry" under Capt. McLean, to set up a whaling station, and built for himself the first house in Portland, at "Single Corner" (aka "Whaler's Point") on the sandspit; in January 1830 he was picked up by the "Henry" to embark on another sealing expedition.

paragraph: He sailed to Portland with the Hentys' head man Alexander Campbell, and was in charge of construction of huts for the shore party. Dutton and Campbell remained friends, though later competitors in whale hunting.

paragraph: By 1833 he was in charge of the "Henry", and established a whaling station at "Double Corner" in March of that year, and was in charge of a whaling party for the Henty Brothers that same year. The Hentys' whaling station at Portland was established in November 1834.

paragraph: He was at one stage first mate for Captain Hart, who in March 1833 took the first whale oil from Portland to Hobart. Between 1839 and 1841 he commanded the barque "Africaine" (also associated with the First Fleet of South Australia) on several whaling expeditions to the South Seas. He seemed financially secure, and may have owned the "Africaine", but was undone by the bankruptcy of Griffiths, Connolly and Co. in 1842.

paragraph: He married Mary Sagers or Saggers (c. 1820 – 23 August 1885) of Launceston in 1843; they had a home at Kelso, on the Tamar River. There are records of his having an earlier wife in Tasmania, an Aborigine named Sarah, and of their having a daughter Sophie, baptised in Launceston in December 1836.

paragraph: Dutton commanded the whaler that outside the whaling season sailed as transport between Hobart and Portland for the Hentys from 1844.

paragraph: In 1847 Dutton gave up the sea and returned to Victoria, and purchased a farm at Narrawong at the mouth of the Surrey River to the east of Portland, though he was involved in the occasional whale hunt, and was responsible for the last whale killed at Portland Bay, in August 1868. He had little success as a farmer at either Narrawong or Bolwarra, and died destitute and his widow (who may have since married a Mr. Bell, but who also died) was forced to rely on the kindness of neighbours. She died at her home in Hurd Street, Portland.

paragraph: He and his wife were buried in adjacent plots in the Narrawong Cemetery. They had no children.

paragraph: Claims have been made for Dutton as the first European settler in Victoria, but Edward Henty has the stronger claim, as Dutton's residency though earlier was not continuous.

paragraph: Meriam Al Khalifa

paragraph: Meriam bint Abdullah Al-Khalifa (born 1980) is a member of the Bahraini Royal House of Al-Khalifa. She is best known for fleeing her family and native Bahrain to the United States to elope with US Marine Lance Corporal Jason Johnson, who was, at the time, stationed in Bahrain as part of a counter-terrorism unit providing security for expatriate Americans. After she was smuggled into the United States with help from Lance Corporal Johnson and being threatened with deportation by United States Customs, she was permitted to stay and apply for asylum, claiming that she feared honor violence by her family in retaliation for fleeing her country and entertaining a romantic relationship with a non-Muslim. Her story was featured heavily in the American press, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, and was turned into a television movie.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Al Khalifa is one of five daughters of "Shaikh Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa" a distant cousin of Bahrain's current king Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. Meriam is properly titled as ""Shaikha"", not "emira" or "princess", as even the sons of the Bahraini king are not styled that way.

paragraph: In January 1999, she met Lance Corporal Jason Johnson, a United States Marine and a Mormon, at an "Americanized" shopping mall in Bahrain. They exchanged whispered phone calls and clandestine meetings until being spotted by a member of the Bahrain Royal Guard, who informed her mother of the illicit relationship. After being forced to end the relationship and forbidden to see Johnson, they continued their relationship by secretly exchanging letters through a jewelry store employee at the mall for eleven months, until Johnson's tour of duty was scheduled to end.

paragraph: She and Johnson flew to the United States in November 1999 with Al Khalifa disguised as a female U.S. Marine and using fake military transfer documents, forged by Lance Corporal Johnson himself, and were married in a Las Vegas chapel on November 16, 1999, after which she settled into life as a military housewife, living in base housing at Camp Pendleton.

paragraph: Section::::Background.:Application for asylum.

paragraph: For his role in helping Al Khalifa flee Bahrain, Johnson was court-martialed for "forging military papers," but because of all the media attention the case was getting, Johnson's punishment only consisted of him being stripped of his "Lance Corporal" rank, being demoted to "Private," the lowest rank in the United States Marine Corps. He was honorably discharged two months later.

paragraph: Facing deportation from the United States, Al Khalifa applied for political asylum, citing that she faced harm, which, she claimed, could have included death, for her relationship and subsequent marriage to a non-Muslim, one who was not only a foreigner, but also an American, as well as for fleeing her native country illegally, without permission from her father or her government. In an interview with CBS News, Johnson and Al Khalifa said that if she returned to Bahrain, she would be "lashed, executed, stoned, killed, shot". Johnson also told the press that there was constant tension with her family, and the FBI told him that they had intercepted a Syrian national who claimed he had been paid $500,000 to assassinate her. Based on these fears, Al Khalifa was granted asylum in May 2001.

paragraph: Section::::Background.:Media depictions.

paragraph: In 2001, a made-for-TV movie based on her relationship with Jason Johnson, their flight from Bahrain to the U.S., and their elopement, "The Princess and the Marine", aired on NBC. It starred Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Johnson and Marisol Nichols as Meriam. The movie reportedly "caused one of the biggest bidding wars for packaged rights in the history of television movies," estimated at more than $500,000.

paragraph: Section::::Background.:Return to visit Bahrain.

paragraph: In May 2001, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service granted Al Khalifa Permanent Residency status, popularly known as a Green Card. She also resumed communication with her family in Bahrain.

paragraph: Despite her earlier claims that she feared violence or death in her home country – an assertion that she had repeated in subsequent interviews – Al Khalifa returned to Bahrain in late 2001 to visit her family. She stated that she and her family were concerned about "violence aimed at people of Middle Eastern descent" after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. She returned to Las Vegas at the end of year.

paragraph: Section::::Background.:Divorce.

paragraph: The couple filed for divorce on November 17, 2004 (one day after their fifth wedding anniversary) in Las Vegas, Nevada, citing "incompatibility in marriage." According to Johnson, Al Khalifa had plunged heavily into the Las Vegas nightlife, subsequently leading to an estrangement. The couple had been considering divorce since 2001.

paragraph: In 2005, Johnson appeared on an episode of "Divorce Court", "sans" Meriam, to plead his case. The episode, numbered 1224, aired on January 31, 2005.

paragraph: John Canoe

paragraph: John Canoe was the European name given to an Akan warrior from Axim, Ghana.

paragraph: He was a chief of the Ahanta people in the early 18th century, who established a stronghold in the defunct Fort Fredericksburg and held it against European encroachment for 20 years. It fell finally in 1725 and his followers were transported as slaves to the Americas.

paragraph: He is commemorated in the Junkanoo festival held in the Caribbean each December.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Section::::History.:Origin of John Canoe.

paragraph: January Conny (also named "John Kenu", "Johann Kuny", "John Conrad", "Johann Cuny", "Jean Cunny", "January Konny" or "John Conni" by German, Dutch, British or French-language designation) was a powerful Gold Coast merchant. Conny had a private army and was an ally of Brandenburg-Prussia at the time of the Brandenburger Gold Coast colony (1683–1720) in Axim on the coast of present-day Ghana in West Africa. Between 25 December 1708 to 1724 he took over control of the abandoned Brandenburger fortress of Fort Fredericksburg and defended it against several massive conquest attempts of the Dutch. The history of the defence of the fortress was distorted for propaganda purposes in the 19th century by followers of a German colonial commitment and used for their own purposes. The tale of January Conny has today spread to different parts of the Caribbean and Ghana's Fancy Dress Festival, which was probably based on the story of January Conny.

paragraph: The names listed above are European corruptions of a still unknown African name, though it can be safely assumed that "Kenu" was a part of it, as this is a typical Akan name. Jon Conny, chief of the Ahanta ethnic group, often referred to as "the King of Prinze Terre", as the Prussian's African broker, was a most effective ally, succeeding in directing such trade to the fort that revenues dwindled at the Dutch forts at Axim, Butre and Sekondi. More than 95 ships are recorded as having traded with Fort Fredericksburg between 1711 and 1713. In 1717, with their departure from the Gold Coast, Brandenburg sold its possessions to the Dutch, without John Conny's knowledge.

paragraph: Despite this internal conflict he remained a middleman of the Brandenburgers and, with their support, led a two-year war against neighbouring Dutch and British bases. In the course of this war, he attacked the neighbouring British fortress Fort Metal Cross at Dixcove, which was seriously damaged. In the course of these events he was able not only to provide support for his private army (warriors of the Ashanti (Asante) and Wassa), but also was able to provide support to his local population of Ahanta people and the local brokers from Dixcove and the Dutch base Butre recourse. Supposedly he commanded 15,000 men and struck the British in battle in 1712. The Dutch and British appealed unsuccessfully to the Brandenburgers to withdraw their support for January Conny because they feared for the authority of the Europeans: "[I]f Negroes are generals at their pleasure it is risky ...".

paragraph: January Conny had a large number of muskets and cannons, with which he repelled several attacks by the Dutch. Supposedly he commanded at that time an army of 20,000 men. In 1724, after seven years of control of the fortress, he gave up and withdrew from the Brandenburger Gold Coast, defeated by the British, who used Fante troops or a Fante Asafo. After the capture of Prince's Town, John Kenu vanished into obscurity, possibly escaping to Kumasi, the capital of his Asante allies.

paragraph: In addition, Jan Conny was one of the three or four large African traders of the 18th century in Ghana. Jan Conny, John Kabes and Thomas Ewusi and an unknown man in command of large private armies and wrapped as a national wholesaler a significant part of trade (and hence also of the slave trade) with the Europeans on the Gold Coast.

paragraph: Section::::History.:Creation of the John Canoe Festival.

paragraph: According to Edward Long, an 18th-century Jamaican slave owner/historian, the John Canoe festival was created in Jamaica and the Caribbean by those Akans who supported John Canoe in Fredericksburg and had subsequently been enslaved when it fell. The festival itself included motifs from battles typical of Akan fashion. The Ashanti swordsman became the "horned headed man"; the Ashanti commander became "Pitchy patchy" who also wears a battledress with what would resemble charms, referred to as a "Batakari".

paragraph: Audoin

paragraph: Alduin (Langobardic: "Aldwin" or "Hildwin", ; also called Auduin or Audoin) was king of the Lombards from 546 to 560. Under him the Lombards became fœderati of the Byzantines (541), signing a treaty with Justinian I which gave them power in Pannonia and the north. Beginning in 551, Audoin was obliged to send troops to serve Narses in Italy in the Gothic War against the Ostrogoths. The next year (552), he sent over 5,000 men to defeat the Goths on the slopes of Vesuvius. That same year Audoin had been able to inflict a heavy defeat on the Gepids with the help of his brother-in-law Amalafrid: the Gepid king Thurisind lost his eldest son, Turismod, in the Battle of Asfeld during which the prince was killed by Alboin, son of Audoin.

paragraph: He died in 563 or 565 and was succeeded by his son, Alboin, who brought the Lombards into Italia.

paragraph: He married Rodelinda, the daughter of Amalaberga and Hermanfrid, king of the Thuringii.

paragraph: Donatus of Evorea

paragraph: Saint Donatus of Evorea (, ) was a Christian saint revered in Albania and Greece.

paragraph: Donatus was born in Butrint, Chaonia, (modern southern Albania), and lived during the reign of the Emperor Theodosius I. According to the 5th-century Greek historian Sozomen, Saint Donatus was Bishop of Evorea, identifiable with Paramythia in Epirus, Greece. The saint is said to have accomplished several miracles, such as successfully fighting a dragon, purifying well waters, saving the emperors' daughter, and reviving the dead.

paragraph: Saint Donatus of Butrint died in 387 and his remains were transferred to Kassiopi in Corfu in 602 in order to be saved from barbarian invasions. However this led to a problem of jurisdiction and custody for the holy relics, which was resolved by Pope Gregory I. Donatus's cult was widespread in the Middle Ages.

paragraph: His feast day is April 30.

paragraph: Umbriatico Cathedral in Calabria in the south of Italy is dedicated to him: the area was occupied by Epirote troops after the conquest of Nikephoros Phokas the Elder in the 9th century, who brought with them the cults of the saints familiar to them.

paragraph: Antoni Ramallets

paragraph: Antoni Ramallets Simón (1 July 1924 – 30 July 2013) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and also a manager.

paragraph: He spent most of his career at FC Barcelona during the 1950s and early 1960s, winning the Zamora Trophy as the best goalkeeper in La Liga on five occasions, and 18 major club honours.

paragraph: Ramallets represented Spain in the 1950 World Cup and, in the 1960s, managed several clubs in his country, notably winning two major trophies with Zaragoza.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.

paragraph: Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Ramallets signed for FC Barcelona in 1947 at the age of 23, from Real Valladolid, where he also spent his first season after being purchased, on loan. He returned to the club to play second-fiddle to Juan Velasco, making his La Liga debut in a 2–1 win against Sevilla FC on 28 November 1948. Although this was his only appearance during the season he eventually became the starter, being an essential defensive unit as his team – then named Club de Fútbol Barcelona – went on to win six leagues and five domestic cups; in 1951–52, as "Barça" won five major trophies, he contributed with 28 league games, being awarded his first Ricardo Zamora Trophy.

paragraph: During the 1950s, Ramallets was a prominent member of the successful Barcelona team that also included Joan Segarra, Marià Gonzalvo, László Kubala, Sándor Kocsis, Evaristo, Luis Suárez and Zoltán Czibor. During his spell with the club he made 538 appearances, including 288 in the domestic league; on 6 March 1962 the "Blaugrana" played a testimonial in his honour against Hamburger SV, winning 5–1.

paragraph: Ramallets coached several clubs during the following decade, including old acquaintance Valladolid. In the 1963–64 campaign he led Real Zaragoza to the fourth place in the league, the Spanish Cup and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup – a competition he had won twice as a player with Barcelona – winning over fellow league team Valencia CF in the latter.

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: Ramallets played 35 games for Spain during 11 years, making his debut against Chile on 29 June 1950, during the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. During the tournament he earned the nickname "The Cat of Maracaná", helping the nation to the second group stage.

paragraph: Ramallets also played seven games for the unofficial Catalan national side.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Hendrik Frans de Cort

paragraph: Hendrik de Cort or Hendrik Frans de Cort (1742 in Antwerp – 28 June 1810 in London) was a Flemish landscape painter and draughtsman. His international career brought him to Antwerp, Paris, England and Wales. He is mainly remembered for his topographical paintings and drawings of English castles, country houses, parks and ruins.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Hendrik de Cort studied in Antwerp under Henricus Josephus Antonissen and Willem Jacob Herreyns. In 1770 he became a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke. When Archduke Maximilian Francis of Austria travelled through the Austrian Netherlands in 1774 he appointed de Cort as his personal painter, possibly at the urging of Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine, the then governor of the Austrian Netherlands.

paragraph: He moved to Paris after 1776. He was received (reçu) into the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1779. He became the ‘ordinary’ painter to the Prince de Condé for whom in 1781 he painted topographical views of the Château de Chantilly.

paragraph: De Cort returned to Antwerp in 1782. Here he was one of the founders in 1788 of a society of artists known as the "Genootschap ter aanmoediging der Schoone Kunsten", known under its short form as the "Konstmaatschappij" (the 'Art Society'). Other founders included Balthasar Paul Ommeganck, Pieter Faes, Miss Herry, Jan Josef Horemans the Younger, Ferdinand Verhoeven, Hendrik Aarnout Myin, Frans Balthazar Solvyns, Mattheus Ignatius van Bree, Maria Jacoba Ommeganck, Marten Waefelaerts and many others. The purpose of the society was the promotion and appreciation of the artworks of its various members in an informal setting.

paragraph: De Cort would not remain a member of the society for long as he left Flanders after the Brabant Revolution of 1789. He settled in London c. 1790 and remained in England for the rest of his life. There he built up a highly successful practice as a painter of country houses, castles, cathedrals and other views. He gained many commissions from the nobility and other important patrons. He thus stood in a long tradition of Flemish painters who made topographical paintings of the estates of the British nobility, which includes artists such as Jan Siberechts, Peter Tillemans and Pieter Andreas Rijsbrack. Many of his works were exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution between 1790 and 1806.

paragraph: He died in London.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: De Cort's work consists solely of landscape and topographical paintings and drawings. His early landscapes from the time before he moved to England were often made in collaboration with other Flemish artists such as Balthasar Paul Ommeganck and Petrus Johannes van Regemorter who painted the figures and animals.

paragraph: De Cort is known for his topographical views of English and Welsh landscapes. These were painted in an Italianate idiom indebted to the style of Gaspar Dughet. He often painted on specially prepared mahogany panels. His style was described by the painter Joseph Farington as follows: 'his ground prepared light, this to draw his outline with black lead pencil, then to pass oil over it, and on that tint to glaze his shadows and embody his lights'. Some traces of under drawing and pentimenti are visible in this work.’

paragraph: He would adjust some of the details of his landscape subjects for maximum effect. For instance, in his "" he painted the main towers and buildings as protruding from behind, even where they would not normally have been visible from this viewpoint.

paragraph: To complete his many commissions de Cort travelled far and wide and made many preparatory wash drawings. A number of these are in the collections of the British Museum and the Ashmolean Museum. The collection of the Stedelijk Prentenkabinet (Municipal Cabinet of Prints) of the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp holds a sketch book of de Cort containing mainly drawings of castles from the time he was still residing in his home country.

paragraph: Benny Bailey

paragraph: Ernest Harold "Benny" Bailey (13 August 1925 – 14 April 2005) was an American jazz trumpeter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Bailey briefly studied flute and piano before turning to trumpet. He attended the Cleveland Conservatory of Music. He was influenced by Cleveland native Tadd Dameron and had a significant influence on other Cleveland musicians, such as Albert Ayler, Bob Cunningham, Bobby Few, Bill Hardman, and Frank Wright. Bailey played with Tony Lovano, father of Joe Lovano.

paragraph: In the early 1940s he worked with Bull Moose Jackson and Scatman Crothers. He later worked with Dizzy Gillespie and toured with Lionel Hampton. During a European tour with Hampton he remained in Europe and spent time in Sweden, where he worked with Harry Arnold's big band. He preferred big bands over small groups, and he became associated with several big bands in Europe, including the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band. His time with Quincy Jones led to a brief return to the United States in 1960. He was invited to the studio as part of Freddie Redd's sextet to record "Redd's Blues" after meeting the pianist during a tour in Sweden. He returned to Europe, first to Germany, then the Netherlands, where he settled permanently.

paragraph: In 1969 he played on Eddie Harris and Les McCann's album "Swiss Movement", recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival, although it was not his usual style of music. In 1988 he worked with British clarinetist Tony Coe and recorded albums until 2000 when he was in his mid-70s.

paragraph: Bailey died at home in Amsterdam on April 14, 2005.

paragraph: Herman II (archbishop of Cologne)

paragraph: Herman II ( – 11 February 1056), a member of the Ezzonid dynasty, was Archbishop of Cologne from 1036 until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was the son of the Lotharingian Count Palatine Ezzo (955–1043) and his wife Matilda of Germany, Countess Palatine of Lotharingia(979–1025), a daughter of Emperor Otto II and his consort Theophanu. He was a member of the Ezzonian dynasty. Herman's younger brother Otto became Duke of Swabia in 1045; among his sisters were Richeza, who married the Polish King Mieszko II Lambert, and Theophanu, Abbess of Essen.

paragraph: Pope Benedict IX elevated him to the College of Cardinals around 1036, at the same time the Salian Emperor Conrad II appointed him Archbishop and granted important privileges to the Church in Cologne. Herman accompanied Conrad on his Italian campaign and remained loyal to his successor Henry III. In 1049 he received Pope Leo IX in Cologne and in 1051 consecrated Goslar Cathedral. His "claritas generis" allowed him to baptise and crown the emperor's newborn son Henry IV, a privilege that was disputed by Archbishop of Luitpold I of Mainz. Herman also supported the emperor during the revolt led by his own nephew Duke Conrad I of Bavaria.

paragraph: As Cologne archbishop he served as Archchancellor of the Italian kingdom ("Regnum Italicum") and is also mentioned as protector of Brauweiler Abbey (1053). He evolved plans to rebuild Cologne Cathedral modelled on St. Peter's in Rome. He and his sister Ida had the Romanesque St. Maria im Kapitol church built from about 1040 onwards, following the example of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.

paragraph: Archbishop Herman II died in Cologne and is buried in Cologne Cathedral. In the 13th century, the present-day Romanian city of Sibiu received its German name "Hermannstadt" probably in his honour.
