paragraph: John Hale (minister)

paragraph: John Hale (June 3, 1636 – May 15, 1700), commonly referred to as "Reverend Hale", was the Puritan pastor of Beverly, Massachusetts, during the Salem witch trials in 1692. He was one of the most prominent and influential ministers associated with the witch trials, being noted as having initially supported the trials and then changing his mind and publishing a critique of them.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: John Hale was born on June 3, 1636, in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The oldest child of Robert Hale, a blacksmith, he was educated at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, graduating in 1657. He began preaching in Bass-river-side, later called Beverly, about 1664, and was ordained as the first minister of the parish church there on September 20, 1667, when the congregation formally separated from Salem, and he remained until his death in 1700. He married his first wife, Rebecca Byly, on December 15, 1664, and she died April 13, 1683, at the age of forty-five.

paragraph: As a child, Hale had witnessed the execution of Margaret Jones, the first of 15 people to be executed for witchcraft in New England, between 1648–1663. He was present at the examinations and trials of various people who were accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials of 1692, and supported the work of the court. However, on November 14, 1692, 17-year-old Mary Herrick accused his second wife, Sarah Noyes Hale, and the ghost of executed Mary Eastey of afflicting her, but his wife was never formally charged or arrested. A later commentator on the trials, Charles Upham suggests that this accusation was one that helped turn public opinion to end the prosecutions, and spurred Hale's willingness to reconsider his support of the trials.

paragraph: Section::::Fiction.

paragraph: In Arthur Miller's 1953 play "The Crucible", a fictional portrayal of Hale appears in Act I in a request from Samuel Parris that he examine his daughter, Betty Parris. Hale's quick visit to help with Betty actually causes him to become one of the main characters in the play.

paragraph: Hale is depicted as a young minister who has devoted most of his life to the study of witchcraft and other demonic arts in the hope of being able to destroy them in the name of God. He has found a 'witch' in his home town of Beverly, Massachusetts, where he preaches. Hale is the minister in charge of discovering who has marks of the Devil for the witch trials and later is the advocate against them. As a devout Christian, Hale sees it as his duty to seek out the witches, and to 'save their souls'. Hale, after seeing the horrors of the witch trials and watching the loss of both civil and human rights, has a conversion of heart and speaks out against them, telling Judge Danforth that they are morally wrong. Hale leaves the court when Mary Warren accuses John Proctor of witchcraft, famously declaring, "I denounce these proceedings. I quit this court!" to which Danforth replies, running after him, "Mr. Hale, Mr. Hale!"

paragraph: In the 1957 screen adaptation of Miller's piece, he was depicted by Yves Brainville. In the 1996 film version of the play, he was portrayed by Rob Campbell, as a much younger man than would have been historically accurate, as Hale was fifty-six at the time of the trials; however, the play itself isn't entirely historically accurate, particularly with ages. For instance, Diane E Foulds (along with many others) affirm that Abigail Williams would have been closer to 12 than 17, and that John Proctor would have been near 60, so this change in age for the film version is not entirely out of line with the source material of the play.

paragraph: In the movie, Hale's wife is accused by Abigail Williams once she begins to suspect him of doubting her claims. This is quickly dismissed by Danforth, leading to Abigail escaping from the village. He then later sadly witnessed the hanging of Rebecca Nurse, Martha Corey and John Proctor.

paragraph: John Hale is played by Xander Berkeley (as Magistrate Hale) in the 2014 TV series "Salem".

paragraph: Silanion

paragraph: Silanion (, "gen." Σιλανίωνος) was the best-known of the Greek portrait-sculptors working during the fourth century BC. His "floruit" is given by Pliny ("Naturalis Historia", 34.51) as the 113th Olympiad, that is, around 328–325 BC; the tradition recorded by Pliny was that Silanion had no famous teacher. Of two of his known works, however, his idealized portrait head of Plato was commissioned by Mithridates of Persia for the Academy of Athens, "c." 370 BC, Of it and of an idealized portrait head of Sappho, later copies survive, if the number of surviving copies can be correlated to the fame of the commissions. Both are of simple ideal type, the Sappho not strictly a portrait, since Sappho (sixth century BC) lived before the age of portraiture. The best copy of the Plato is in the Glyptothek of Munich ("illustration").

paragraph: Silanion also produced a "portrait" of the poet Corinna. Other "portrait" heads by Silanion evoked mythic and legendary heroes. An "Achilles" mentioned by Pliny was later adapted to represent Ares, and an equally idealized "Theseus" is mentioned by Plutarch.

paragraph: Silanion wrote a treatise on proportions that is mentioned by Vitruvius (vii, introduction), but has been otherwise lost to the ages.

paragraph: Yutaka Fukufuji

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Fukufuji was born in Kushiro, Hokkaidō, Japan. He played on the Kokudo hockey team of Asia League Ice Hockey in 2001. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2004 entry draft in the 8th round, 238th overall. He made his North American debut on February 7, 2003 with the ECHL Cincinnati Cyclones. He was voted the ECHL rookie of the month in January 2003. He played for the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL in 2004–05 leading the team in wins, GAA, and shutouts. Fukufuji signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Los Angeles Kings in August 2005. After starting the 2005–06 season with the Reading Royals, the Kings ECHL franchise, Yutaka was the number 2 goalie on the AHL Manchester Monarchs for a time.

paragraph: On December 15, 2006, Fukufuji was called up on to the Los Angeles Kings on emergency basis. He became the first Japanese player to dress for an NHL game, but he did not play.

paragraph: When goaltender Mathieu Garon was placed on injured reserve with a broken finger, Fukufuji was again recalled and flew in from Cleveland, Ohio to dress as backup to goalie Barry Brust. On January 13, 2007, Fukufuji made his first NHL appearance, the first by a Japanese player, when Kings head coach Marc Crawford decided to put him in to start the third period of a game against the St. Louis Blues. Fukufuji entered the game with the Kings trailing 5–4. He allowed one goal in the period, and the Kings also scored one goal while he was in net. The final score of the game was 6–5 in favor of St. Louis; as Fukufuji was the goaltender who allowed the decisive sixth St. Louis goal, he was assessed the loss.

paragraph: On January 16, 2007, Fukufuji made history again when he became the first Japanese player to start in an NHL game, as he began the game in goal for the Kings against the Atlanta Thrashers.

paragraph: Fukufuji was not presented with a qualifying offer by the Kings before the 2007–08 season, but returned to the Condors on September 10, 2007 after signing a contract for the 2007–08 season.

paragraph: On May 25, 2009, Fukufuji was signed by the Destil Trappers of the Eredivisie, the top league in the Netherlands. After one full season with Destil Trappers Fukufuji signed with Nikko Ice Bucks in July 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Union assault.

paragraph: On May 22, 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant ordered an assault on the Confederate heights at Vicksburg, Mississippi. The plan called for a storming party of volunteers to build a bridge across a moat and plant scaling ladders against the enemy embankment in advance of the main attack.

paragraph: The volunteers knew the odds were against survival and the mission was called, in nineteenth century vernacular, a "forlorn hope". Only single men were accepted as volunteers and even then, twice as many men as needed came forward and were turned away. The assault began in the early morning following a naval bombardment.

paragraph: The Union soldiers came under enemy fire immediately and were pinned down in the ditch they were to cross. Despite repeated attacks by the main Union body, the men of the forlorn hope were unable to retreat until nightfall. Of the 150 men in the storming party, nearly half were killed. Seventy-nine of the survivors were awarded the Medal of Honor.

paragraph: Thomas A. Blasdel

paragraph: Thomas A. Blasdel (1843–1932) was a Civil War Medal of Honor recipient and a soldier in the American Civil War. Blasdel went on to get promoted to Private, and from there to Corporal. Blasdel enlisted in the Union army at 19 years old in August, 1862 during the Civil War.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Thomas A. Blasdel was born on January 2, 1843 in Dearborn County, Indiana, United States of America. His parents were named Ferris Enoch Blasdel and Clarissa Annis Blasdel and they too were both born in America. The Blasdel family was a big one, consisting of 10 children. Thomas was the second oldest of 9 children; 5 girls and 4 boys. His siblings were: Rhoda, Pamelia, Eleanor, George, Enoch, John, Clara, Raymond, and Rachel.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: For most of his military career, Thomas Blasdel served as a Private in Company H, 83rd Indiana Infantry. The event that Thomas is most famous for is his actions during the Siege of Vicksburg. This momentous event took place in Mississippi, on May 22, 1863. Thomas Blasdel was 20 years old at the time and still relatively new to his military career. Private Blasdel, along with many other soldiers, volunteered to be a part of the storming party against the Confederates during the Siege of Vicksburg. Thomas and the other did this knowing that the odds of all of them, or even some of them, being alive afterwards were very slim. Some even called the plan a forlorn hope. Even though the men knew how risky it was, double the amount of needed men volunteered and some were even turned away. In the end there were 150 men apart of the storming party. This meant that they had to, before the main attack by the Confederates, build a bridge across a moat and plant ladders all against the Confederate embankment. This entire event started in the morning, not very long after a naval bombardment by the opposing side. Even though there were multiple, powerful attacks by the Confederates, Private Blasdel, along with others, were able to hold off the opposing side. From the morning those 150 men kept away tons of Confederate soldiers. This went on until night, when both sides retreated since it was dark. Out of the 150 who bravely volunteered, around half of them were killed; which in reality could have been worse and was much better than what men predicted. 79 of the survivors (including Thomas A Blasdel) were awarded the Medal of Honor. This event happened just one year after Thomas Blasdel enlisted in the army.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: On August 11, 1894, 31 years after the fact at the age of 51, Blasdel received the Medal of Honor for gallantry during the Siege of Vicksburg.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Blasdel served in the army from 1862–1865 and was 22 when he retired from the army. He was given the Medal of Honor quite some time later.

paragraph: Blasdel married Elizabeth and had a child, Emert. Elizabeth died in 1928 and Thomas on October 12, 1932 in Reno County, Kansas, USA. He is buried in Fairlawn Burial Park, Hutchinson Reno County, Kansas, USA.

paragraph: Robert Holland, 1st Baron Holand

paragraph: Robert de Holland, 1st Baron Holand ( 1283 – 1328) was an English nobleman, born in Lancashire.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Holland was a son of Sir Robert de Holland of Upholland, Lancashire and Elizabeth, daughter of William de Samlesbury.

paragraph: Holland was a member of the noble Holland family and a favourite official of Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster and was knighted by 1305. He was appointed on 20 December 1307 in a matter concerning the Knight Templars, shortly before Edward II ordered their arrest and trials in January 1308. In October 1313 Holland was pardoned for his role in the death of Piers Gaveston. From 1314 to 1321 he was called to Parliament as a baron and was appointed as secretary to the Earl of Lancaster.

paragraph: Section::::Banastre Rebellion (1315).

paragraph: Holland's favoured treatment by the powerful earl caused his rival knights in the area, led by Adam Banastre, Henry de Lea, and William de Bradshagh (Bradshaw), to start a campaign of violence towards him and the earl's other supporters known as the Banastre Rebellion. The rebels protested against the earl's actions and authority by attacking the homes of his supporters and several castles, including Liverpool Castle. Holland later assisted in the hunt for fugitives after the rebels had been routed in Preston by a force under the command of the sheriff.

paragraph: Section::::Battle of Boroughbridge (1322) and Invasion of England (1326).

paragraph: On 4 March 1322 Holland was ordered to join the king with horses and men to defend against Lancaster's rebellion. Twelve days later Holland betrayed the king and fought alongside Lancaster at the Battle of Boroughbridge.

paragraph: After their defeat, Holland surrendered and was imprisoned and had his lands confiscated. He was released from prison but was accused of having joined with other rebels in raids on the estates of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester over the next few years. Holland was again imprisoned in Warwick Castle before being moved in 1326 to Northampton Castle from which he escaped.

paragraph: Section::::Demise.

paragraph: Following Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer's overthrow of Edward II, Holland was pardoned for his escape from Northampton at the request of Henry de Beaumont; his lands were restored to him on 24 December 1327.

paragraph: Holland still had enemies from the Banastre Rebellion though and in June 1328 they attempted to outlaw Holland for the deaths of Banastre and his followers, thirteen years after their deaths. Holland appealed against this but was killed in October in a wood near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Thomas Wither is named by some as the murderer and is claimed to have been a supporter of the new Earl of Lancaster, Henry but in light of Holland's outlawry in June may have been a supporter of Banastre as well. Holland was beheaded, his head sent to the Earl of Lancaster at Waltham Cross and his body to Preston, Lancashire where it was buried in the church of Grey Friars. The inaccuracies of some accounts of Holland suggest his rivals may have smeared him deliberately.

paragraph: An Inquisition Post Mortem held in October 1328 found he held lands in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire and London.

paragraph: John Shelby

paragraph: John T. Shelby (born February 23, 1958) is a former center fielder in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played from 1981 to 1991. He began his career as a member of the Baltimore Orioles before later playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers. Shelby was a member of two World Series–winning teams: the 1983 Orioles and the 1988 Dodgers. His nickname was "T-Bone" because of his slight frame. He currently is a coach in the Atlanta Braves minor league system.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Shelby was born in Lexington, Kentucky on February 23, 1958. In 1976, he graduated from Henry Clay High School in Lexington, where he played baseball (as a shortstop) and basketball and was an all-area performer. After high school, he played one year of baseball at Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tennessee.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.:Playing career.

paragraph: In the January 1977 amateur draft, Shelby was a first–round pick of the Baltimore Orioles. He made his professional debut that year for the Bluefield Orioles of the Appalachian League, batting .256 in 60 games.

paragraph: When Shelby was traded to the Dodgers during the 1987 season, the team was so desperate for a center fielder that he was rushed into uniform and into his first game. There was not even time to put his name on the back of his uniform, so he played the entire game without his name stitched onto his uniform. During Game Four of the 1988 National League Championship Series, he drew a crucial walk off Dwight Gooden in the top of the ninth inning, allowing Mike Scioscia to come up and hit a game-tying home run, paving the way for the game-winning home run by Kirk Gibson in the top of the twelfth inning.

paragraph: On June 3, 1989, he batted 0 for 10 in a 22–inning game against the Houston Astros.

paragraph: After the Dodgers released Shelby on June 2, 1990, he was signed eleven days later by the Detroit Tigers. He became a free agent following the season, but the Tigers re–signed him on November 26. He was released for good by the Tigers on August 13, 1991.

paragraph: In 1992, Shelby's final season as a professional baseball player, he appeared in 127 games for the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Class AAA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. He tallied 17 home runs and 64 RBI, but managed only a .205 batting average.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.:Coaching career.

paragraph: He was the hitting coach for the Albuquerque Isotopes, the AAA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. In addition to managing several minor league teams, he has also served as a coach for the Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Baltimore Orioles, and Milwaukee Brewers. He was hired as a roving minor league instructor with the Atlanta Braves for the 2017 season.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: His oldest son, John Shelby III, is a former player in Minor League Baseball, who now is a student assistant coach for the Kentucky Wildcats baseball team while he completes his college studies. His second oldest son, Jeremy Shelby, played one season in the Baltimore Orioles' farm system. His fourth oldest son, JaVon Shelby, played for the University of Kentucky Wildcats baseball team and was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in 2016 amateur draft. His nephew, Josh Harrison is a major league player.

paragraph: Ernst Kraus

paragraph: Ernst Kraus (June 8, 1863 – September 5, 1941) was a German dramatic tenor who made his mark in the operas of Richard Wagner. He first decided to embark on an operatic career when he heard leading singers performing in Nuremberg. He studied voice initially in Milan with Cesare Galliera and then returned to Munich to finish his tuition with Anna Schimon-Regan.

paragraph: Kraus debuted in Mannheim as Tamino in "Die Zauberflöte" on March 26, 1893. He came to the United States in 1894, where he was engaged as principal tenor of the Damrosch Opera Company; he returned in 1895. He was appointed the leading tenor of the Berlin Staatsoper in 1896, holding that position for 27 continuous years. During this period, he distinguished himself in the German repertory. In 1901, he appeared at the Bayreuth Festival as Siegmund in "Die Walküre", in which role he made his New York Metropolitan Opera debut on November 25, 1903.

paragraph: He retired from opera in 1924 in order to teach, and died in Wörthsee, Germany, in 1941. His voice was noted in his prime for its exceptional power and solidity rather than for its beauty or suavity of phrasing. It is preserved on a number of acoustic discs which he made prior to World War I. Some of these are available on CD anthologies of historical Wagner recordings.

paragraph: Mizoguchi Hidekatsu

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mizoguchi Hidekatsu was the eldest son of Mizoguchi Katsumasa and was born in Mizobuchi village, Nakamura District of Owari Province, in what is now part of the modern city of Inazawa, Aichi. HIs childhood name was Take-maru (竹丸), and his post-"genpuku" name was Sadakatsu (定勝). He entered the service of Niwa Nagahide as a child. By 1581, his talents had come to the attention of Oda Nobunaga, who accepted him as a direct retainer, and who granted him a 5000 "koku" fief in what is now Takahama, Fukui, In 1582, Nobunaga was assassinated in the Honnō-ji Incident and he transferred his allegiance to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Following the 1583 Battle of Shizugatake, he was made a "yoriki-daimyō" under Niwa Nagahide and transferred to Daishō-ji in Kaga Province with a "kokudaka" of 44,000 "koku". In 1585, following Niwa Nagahide's death, Hideyoshi recognized him as an independent "daimyō", and the following year he changed his name from Sadakatsu to Hidekatsu.

paragraph: During the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598), he was assigned to the guard at Hideyoshi's headquarters at Nagoya Castle in Hizen Province and in 1598 was transferred to Shibata Domain in Echigo Province with an increase in "kokudaka" to 60,000 "koku". He sided with the Eastern Army in the Battle of Sekigahara and was thus confirmed in his holdings by the Tokugawa shogunate. He died in Shibata in 1610 at the age of 63

paragraph: Hidekatsu had 2 sons and 5 daughters and was succeeded by his eldest son, Mizoguchi Nobukatsu. His second son, Mizoguchi Yoshikatsu was the first "daimyō" of Sōme Domain, a 10,000 "koku" domain which existed from 1610 to 1687.

paragraph: Charles de Montsaulnin, Comte de Montal

paragraph: Charles de Montsaulnin, Comte de Montal (1619–1696) was a 17th century French military officer and noble who served in the wars of Louis XIV.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Charles de Montsaulnin was born in 1619 near Lormes in the French province of Nièvre, at the "Château des Aubues;" built by the Montsaulnin family in 1480, it was demolished in the late 19th century and little trace of it remains today. He was the only surviving son of Adrien de Montsaulnin, Comte de Montal (ca 1590 to 1632) and Gabrielle de Routin, who also had two daughters; Claude (sic, died 1697) and Adrienne.

paragraph: In 1640, he married Gabrielle de Soultage (1634-?); they had four surviving children, three sons and a daughter. The eldest, Louis (1648-1686), joined his father's regiment in 1667, fought with him in Flanders and died of disease in Paris; his son, Charles-Louis de Montsaulnin (? - 1758) became de Montal's heir.

paragraph: Of their other children, François (1653-1672) was enrolled in the Knights of Malta religious order, fought at the Siege of Crete when only 15 and was killed in Flanders in 1672. François-Ignace (ca 1650-1691), known as the "Abbé de Montal," began his career in the church but left it in 1680; he married and died in 1691 of wounds received while serving with the Regiment de Beaupré at Landau. Cassandre-Marie (? - 1695) married François-Eustache, Comte de Druy, whose family were neighbours in Nièvre.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: The first half of the 17th century in France was a period of intense civil strife; the 1590 Edict of Nantes ended the French Wars of Religion but a series of Huguenot rebellions broke out in the 1620s. French support for the Protestant Dutch Republic in its rebellion against Catholic Spain led to the 1635-1659 Franco-Spanish War, accompanied by a 1648-1653 civil war known as the Fronde.

paragraph: De Montal began his military career in 1638 as a captain in the regiment of the duc d'Enghien, later the Grand Condé, the leading French general of the period. He took part in the 1639 capture of the Spanish border fortress of Salses-le-Château, but the French were forced to retreat in 1640 after Condé's army disintegrated. He then joined Turenne during his Rhineland campaign of 1644-1646, fighting at the battles of Freiburg and Nördlingen.

paragraph: When the so-called Fronde des nobles began in 1650, both Turenne and Condé opposed the Court party led by Louis XIV's mother, Anne of Austria and Cardinal Mazarin. Turenne switched sides in 1651 and the Battle of the Faubourg St Antoine in July 1652 ended the Fronde as a serious military threat; de Montal was one of the few to follow Condé when he fought on with the Spanish.

paragraph: In 1648, Louis XIII had granted the county of Clermont-en-Argonne to Condé, who established Sainte-Menehould as the capital; he fortified it in 1652, with De Montal as garrison commander. A young Vauban worked on the fortifications; he came from the same district in Nievre as de Montal and the two were colleagues for many years, although Vauban changed sides when captured by a Royalist patrol in early 1653.

paragraph: De Montal surrendered the town in November 1653, allegedly in return for a payment of 50,000 pistoles. However, he was appointed Spanish governor of Rocroi and fought in the 1656 Battle of Valenciennes, a crushing defeat inflicted by Condé on his French countrymen.

paragraph: The 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees ending the war with Spain included an agreement that de Montal and Condé be allowed to return home, although it was not until the 1667-1668 War of Devolution that either of them was trusted with a military command again. De Montal served in Condé's army that over-ran Franche-Comté in 1668 but the province was returned to Spain in the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.

paragraph: The French retained the strategic town of Charleroi in the Spanish Netherlands; its fortifications were upgraded by Vauban and de Montal appointed Governor, a position he retained until 1678. During the 1672-1678 Franco-Dutch War, he commanded part of the assault force that stormed Maastricht in June 1673. He later repulsed an attempt by William of Orange to take Charleroi in 1673 and was wounded at Seneffe in 1674. During the winter of 1676/1677, he supported a tight French blockade of the Spanish-held towns of Valenciennes and Cambrai by seizing any grain being transported from Namur and preventing reinforcements reaching either garrison.

paragraph: Active campaigning in Flanders largely ended after the two towns surrendered in spring 1677 but de Montal was involved in the last action of the war, the Battle of Saint-Denis in August 1678. In return for his service, he was appointed Governor of the newly-acquired towns of Dinant and Maubeuge, when Charleroi was returned to Spain in the 1678 Treaty of Nijmegen.

paragraph: The 1683-1684 War of the Reunions was short but relatively brutal, since Louvois, French Minister of War, sought to pressure the local populace into suing for peace by destroying crops and buildings. As Governor of Maubeuge, de Montal was ordered to burn 20 villages around Charleroi in retaliation for Spanish raids into France.

paragraph: Louis XIV reportedly remarked sieges should ideally be conducted by Vauban and defended by de Montal, but could only happen once, since they would kill each other. His confidence in their abilities was demonstrated in 1687 when Vauban was ordered to construct a new fortress called Mont-Royal, with de Montal as Governor. Located on the Moselle, near Traben-Trarbach in modern Germany, Mont-Royal was an advanced position that provided a vital stepping-off point for French offensives into the Rhineland. Built 200 metres above the Moselle, with main walls 30 metres high and three kilometres long, it had space for 12,000 troops but was demolished when the French withdrew following the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick.

paragraph: Despite his age, de Montal held a number of commands in Flanders during the 1688-1697 Nine Years War and was instrumental in rallying the French infantry when they were taken by surprise at Steenkerque in 1692. However, although promoted Lieutenant-General in 1676, he never became a Marshall of France; it is suggested this was due to his defence of Sainte-Menehould in 1653, a siege conducted by Louis XIV himself. The title was largely ceremonial but de Montal complained about his exclusion from the list of promotions in 1693 and Louis appointed him commander of French forces in Maritime Flanders, based at Dunkirk.

paragraph: By this stage of the war, Maritime Flanders was a quiet sector and one of his last actions was the capture of Diksmuide in 1695. He died at Dunkirk on 19 September 1696 and was buried at Saint-Brisson in the family vault, which was later destroyed in the French Revolution.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The 'Rue Montal' in Charleroi was named after him by the city council in 1860, commemorating his period as Governor from 1667-1678.

paragraph: His sister Adrienne married Edmé Renaud d'Avesnes des Méloizes and in 1685, their son François-Marie (ca 1655-1699) was posted to New France in command of the Troupes de Marine; Frontenac considered him "one of the best and wisest officers" in Canada. He married Françoise-Thérèse (1670-1698), daughter of Nicholas Dupont de Neuville (1632-1716), a member of the Sovereign Council of New France and is buried in Notre-Dame Basilica-Cathedral in Quebec.

paragraph: Mizoguchi Nobukatsu

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mizoguchi Nobukatsu was the eldest son of Mizoguchi Hidekatsu and was born in Takahama Wakasa Province, in what is now part of the modern city of Takahama, Fukui. His childhood name was Hisasaburō (久三郎), but he changed it to Hidenobu (秀信) after he entered into the service of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1597. During the Battle of Sekigahara, the Mizoguchi clan sided with the eastern army of Tokugawa Ieyasu, but remained in Shibata as there were still many supporters of the pro-Toyotomi Uesugi clan in the province. After the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, the clan was confirmed in its holding of Shibata Domain.

paragraph: He became "daimyō" of Shibata in 1610 on the death of his father. Shortly afterwards, he divided the domain by giving 12,000 "koku" to his younger brother, Mizuguchi Yoshikatsu, for the creation of a cadet house, Sōmei Domain. The domain was reduced from 60,000 "koku" to 50,000 "koku" with 2000 "koku" coming from new rice lands. Yoshikatsu already had 5000 "koku" which he had received from his father directly, but returned these lands to Nobukatsu, as his elder brother would have more expenses in his duties to the shogunate while serving in Edo. Nobukatsu made much efforts in increasing the rice production of his domain, and although he increased the "kokudaka" by 15,000 "koku", he gave all of these new lands to sons of his younger brothers, keeping Shibata Domain itself at 50,000 "koku". During the 1615 Siege of Osaka, he was assigned to the guard of Matsudaira Tadateru.

paragraph: He died in Edo in 1628, and his grave is at the temple of Kisshō-ji in Edo, which subsequently became the clan's mortuary temple in Edo.

paragraph: Nobukatsu was married to a daughter of Hori Hidemasa had 4 sons and 3 daughters.

paragraph: Bernie Schreiber (born 20 January 1959), is an American former international motorcycle trials rider. He became the only American to win the FIM Trial World Championship in 1979. Schreiber is also four-time winner of the NATC Trials Championship, winning the title in 1978, 1982, 1983 and 1987. In 2000 he was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Los Angeles, California, Schreiber started competing in trials at the age of 10 in 1969. Within a few years he had established himself as a top contender in Southern California and began competing in the FIM Trial World Championship in 1977 at only 17 years of age. In 1978 he won the US national title and finished third in the World Trials Championship behind defending champion Yrjo Vesterinen and Martin Lampkin, racking up victories in France, Spain, the United States and Italy in the process.

paragraph: Schreiber made history in 1979 when he became the first and only American to win the World Trials Championship. After a slow start to the season Schreiber put together four wins and three additional podiums out of the last eight rounds to take the title. A midseason switch from Bultaco to Italjet during 1980 helped Schreiber end the season on a high, winning the last four rounds, but not quite enough to retain the title finishing second behind Swede Ulf Karlsson. A mixed season followed in 1981 and prompted a switch to SWM for 1982. Only missing the podium twice all 1982 saw him again runner up, this time to emerging Belgian talent Eddy Lejeune. 1982 also marked Schreiber's only victory at the prestigious Scottish Six Days Trial, coming from behind to overtake Lejeune on the last day of the competition. His good riding paid dividends in the US Nationals with Schreiber taking back-to-back national championship titles in 1982 and 1983. Schreiber and Lejeune battled for the world title over the next couple of years with Lejeune edging out the American both years. After returning to the US national championship, Schreiber took his fourth and final US title in 1987 riding a Fantic.

paragraph: Zhizhi

paragraph: Zhizhi (; died 36 BC) was a chanyu of the Xiongnu Empire at the time of the first Xiongnu civil war, who held the north and west in contention with his younger brother Huhanye who held the south. His original name in Chinese transcription was Luanti Hutuwusi (), i.e. one of the Worthy Princes of the East (of the Luandi clan).

paragraph: When Hutuwusi's father, Xulüquanqu Chanyu, died in 60 BC, power was seized by a distant relative, Woyanqudi. In 58 BC, Huhanye, a younger son of Xulüquanqu, revolted and made himself chanyu. Woyanqudi committed suicide soon after.

paragraph: In 56 BC Hutuwusi, elder brother of Huhanye, revolted, called himself Zhizhi Chanyu, and drove Huhanye out of the royal domain. As Zhizhi grew more powerful, Huhanye moved south and submitted to the Chinese (53 BC). Huhanye then used Chinese support to strengthen himself against his elder brother. Zhizhi tried to offer tribute to the Chinese and sent his son as hostage, but the Han dynasty favored Huhanye. Growing weaker, in 49 BC Zhizhi began moving west in the hope of reconstituting his empire. In the same year, Yilimu, a brother of Woyuanqudi, declared himself chanyu and was killed by Zhizhi. He successfully fought the Wusun, gained control of the Dingling and made his capital in the lands of the Jiankun who may have been the Yenisei Kirghiz (these last two are on the southern edge of Siberia).

paragraph: In 44 BC he was reported to be on the north slope of the Tian Shan in modern Xinjiang. The Han court returned his hostage son. For unknown reasons, Zhizhi murdered the envoy who accompanied his son. He made a marriage alliance with the rulers of Kangju near Lake Balkhash and led his entire tribe westward. They suffered greatly from cold and only 3,000 people reached Kangju (it is not clear if this was the whole population or counts only fighting men).

paragraph: In alliance with the Kangju he plundered the Wusun. Later he quarreled with the Kangju, killed several hundred of them and forced the Kangju people to build him a fortress on the Dulaishui River (possibly the Ili River or the Talas River). He also extracted tribute from Dayuan. It is not clear why Zhizhi would want a fortress since the great advantage of the Xiongnu was their mobile cavalry. The Chinese commander of the Western Regions began to fear that Zhizhi was planning to build a large empire and launched a preemptive attack.

paragraph: In 36 BC, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang led a force of 40,000 against the Xiongnu. They reached Wusun territory and then advanced on Kangju. A Kangju raiding party attacked them and took their wagons, but a counterattack drove off their forces, and the Han army was able to recover their supply train. Upon reaching Kangju (around modern Taraz), the army started constructing a fortified camp, but the Xiongnu attacked them. After driving off the Xiongnu with crossbows, they secured their camp and advanced on the enemy city in a shield and spear formation in front and crossbowmen behind. The crossbowmen rained down on the defenders manning the walls until they fled, then the spearmen drained the moat and started stacking firewood against the palisade. A Kangju relief force made several attacks on the Han position at night, delaying the assault and allowing the defenders to repair their walls. When the Han army attacked, the city fell with ease and Zhizhi Chanyu was stabbed to death. During this battle, an infantry unit on the Kangju side used a formation described as having the appearance of fish scales, which has caused speculation that they were Roman legionaires captured at Carrhae. Evidence is inconclusive.

paragraph: Nicholas Hartwig

paragraph: Baron Nicholas Genrikhovich Hartwig (Russian: Николай Генрихович Гартвиг) (December 16, 1857 – July 10, 1914) was an Imperial Russian diplomat who served as ambassador to Persia (1906–1908) and Serbia (1909–1914). An ardent Pan-Slavist, he was said to be "more Serbian than the Serbs" and in the period prior to World War I was thought by many to practically control the foreign policy of the Serbian government. He encouraged Serbia to stand up to Austria-Hungary and may therefore be seen as one of the causes of the war.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Hartwig was born into a noble family of ethnic German descent in Gori, Georgia, noted also for being the birthplace of Joseph Stalin. He attended the Saint Petersburg Imperial University where his intelligence and ambition brought him to the notice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he began his diplomatic career in 1875, when he was attached to the Asiatic Department.

paragraph: Hartwig also wrote for the highly nationalist and slavophile Novoye Vremya during this time period. His articles criticized the then-direction of Russia's foreign policy, and particularly in regard to the Near East, which Hartwig thought was too soft. His views earned him the admiration of the Russian general staff, which thought similarly, and also won him high-placed friends at the court of Alexander II, which were to prove influential later in his career.

paragraph: Section::::Importance in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

paragraph: When Count Lamsdorff succeeded Mikhail Muraviev as Foreign Minister in June 1900, he promoted Hartwig to the position of Director of the Asiatic Department. Hartwig had previously served as the Vice-Director of the Asiatic Department and had established a close friendship with Lamsdorff. He was viewed by many as the Count's protege, and when Lamsdorff left the ministry in 1906, Hartwig was one of several candidates thought to have a good chance to succeed him. However, he lost the post to Alexander Izvolski, a hated rival.

paragraph: Section::::Exile in Tehran.

paragraph: Following his defeat by Izvolski, Hartwig then attempted to gain an influential embassy instead, preferably in Constantinople. Izvolski did not want Hartwig in any position of importance however, and instead assigned him to be Russia's ambassador to Persia. Hartwig never forgave Izvolski for this slight, and viewed his appointment to Tehran as a diplomatic exile.

paragraph: Hartwig responded by sabotaging the promising negotiations then going on between Great Britain and Russia with regards to Persia. He was also instrumental in suppressing an attempted revolution to overthrow Mohammad Ali Shah, ordering the Russian-officered Cossack Brigade to surround the British legation and prevent anyone from gaining sanctuary there.

paragraph: Many observers felt that Hartwig had overstepped his bounds, but his powerful friends enabled Hartwig to essentially pursue his own policy. He was not on speaking terms with the British ambassador, especially after the counterrevolution in Persia succeeded.

paragraph: Hartwig was recalled in 1908, coinciding with the recall of the British ambassador; both countries wished to renew their discussions over the partition of Persia and their respective ministers were perceived as a liability.

paragraph: Section::::Ambassador to Serbia.

paragraph: In 1909 Izvolski was forced to resign following the humiliation of Russia after Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia-Herzegovina. Izvolski had engaged in private discussions prior to the annexation with Count Aehrenthal, the Austrian foreign minister, and was therefore implicated. It was thought that Izvolski's nebulous promises of Russian support gave Austria the courage to proceed with the annexation. Izvolski therefore served as a perfect scapegoat for the failure of Russian diplomacy, and he was forcibly ousted. The court of Nicholas II pressed for a more pro-Slavic foreign policy. Hartwig was once again considered for the post of foreign minister, but was thwarted by the intervention of Pyotr Stolypin, the chairman of the Tsar's council of ministers. Stolypin wanted someone more controllable than the ambitious Hartwig, and it therefore represented a great success for him to have his son-in-law Sergei Sazonov appointed to the post.

paragraph: Reflecting the more militant pro-Serbian element at court, Hartwig was assigned to the vacant Russian ministry in Belgrade. He quickly followed the same pattern as he had in Persia, pursuing a course at many times independent of the direction of Sazonov. Hartwig felt that in addition to representing 'official' Russia, he also represented 'unofficial' Russia—the Pan-Slavists and more militantly pro-Serbian court party. The result of this was that he often gave the Serbian government the impression that they would get more support from Russia than the official line dictated. Unless given direct instructions by Sazonov to the contrary, Hartwig would frequently embellish or exaggerate the extent of Russian sympathy for Serbia in his communications to the Serbian government. Hartwig was also on excellent terms with the prime minister of Serbia, Nikola Pašić.

paragraph: Hartwig was a key figure in the formation of the system of alliances formed in 1912 between Serbia and Bulgaria, Greece, and Montenegro (the Balkan League). He was a violent opponent of Austria and, along with Sazonov, thought of the alliance system as being primarily oriented against Austria. As a Pan-Slavist, however, he was not opposed to territorial gains at the expense of Turkey after the conclusion of the Balkan Wars, and was one of the first to reject the territorial status quo line then pursued both by Sazonov and Count Berchtold, the new Austrian foreign minister.

paragraph: Hartwig backed the Serbian government's demands for a revision of the military agreement with Bulgaria, which were to include additional pieces of Macedonian territory. This was to compensate Serbia for the loss of territory, and particularly an outlet on the Aegean Sea, to the newly created state of Albania. Hartwig encouraged the resolution of the settlement through a direct meeting of the prime ministers of each of the four Balkan countries (Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Montenegro). Suspicions about Bulgarian territorial aspirations in Macedonia had already driven Greece and Serbia closer together, and Montenegro had followed the Serbian line from the start. Hartwig was aware that any conference between the four prime ministers would thus favor the Serbian territorial demands. By advocating this line with Sazonov, who was more ignorant of the complexities of Balkan politics, Hartwig appeared to be pressing for peace in the Balkans while in actuality directly contributing to the start of the Second Balkan War and its resultant increases in Serbian territory and prestige.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: After the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, Hartwig encouraged a militant Serbian line against Austria. It is unclear what, if any, role Hartwig might have played in connection with the Black Hand.

paragraph: While visiting the Baron von Giesl, Austrian minister to Belgrade, Hartwig collapsed of a massive heart attack on July 10, 1914. The Serbian press immediately published several inflammatory articles accusing the Austrians of poisoning Hartwig while he was a guest at their legation.

paragraph: Hartwig was buried in Belgrade at the request of the Serbian government. Many notable Serbian officials, including Pašić, attended his funeral.

paragraph: He was born April 24, 1924 in Gąsewo near Pułtusk, Poland, to a family of a teacher at the local manor. Before the war the family moved to Pułtusk, where Jerzy's father became a teacher at the local primary school. There Kaźmirkiewicz formed a Scouting troop for boys. Shortly after the outbreak of the Polish Defensive War and the German take-over of Poland, both Jerzy and his father found themselves on the proscription lists of the Gestapo. Arrested in December 1939, both were sent through Auschwitz and the Dachau concentration camp to Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, where they spent the entire war as political prisoners.

paragraph: Otobong Nkanga (born 1974) is a Nigerian-born visual artist and performance artist, based in Antwerp. In 2015 she won the Yanghyun Prize.

paragraph: Her work explores the social and topographical changes of her environment, observes their inherent complexities and understands how resources such as soil and earth, and their potential values, are subject to regional and cultural analysis. Her work has been featured in many institutions including the Tate Modern the KW Institute (Berlin), the Stedelijk Museum and the biennale of Sharjah. She also took part in the 20th Biennale of Sydney.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Otobong Nkanga was born in Kano, Nigeria, in 1974.

paragraph: Her first personal exhibition, "CLASSICISM & BEYOND", took place in 2002 in the non-profit organization, Project Row Houses in Houston. In 2007 to 2008, in response to the work "Baggage" (1972 – 2007/2008) by American artist Allan Kaprow, Nkanga has designed a performance for the Kunsthalle Bern.

paragraph: The initial work that was based on issues of movement of goods from one point of the planet to another, Naylor introduces a post-colonial dimension. As evidenced the artist in an interview, the concepts of identity, cultural specificities are again at the centre of his artistic gesture of re-appropriation.

paragraph: Also, in 2008, the project "Contained measures of Land" used soil both as a symbol of the territory and competition and conflict. A year later, during his residence at Pointe-Noire, in the Congo, it has collected eight different colours of Earth. Pointe-Noire was colonized by the Portuguese and the French. Art critic Philippe Pirotte wrote that Nkanga comes to create a kind of vehicle for the presentation and the transportation which does not define the use value in an era where everyone is obsessed with the transformation of natural tools resources which serve humanity.

paragraph: Her project, "Contained Measures of Tangible Memories" that started in 2010, from her first trip to the Morocco, she explores the practices of dyeing.

paragraph: She essentially transform objects in circulation to objets d'art.

paragraph: In 2012, she has created a device for a performance, or rather an installation entitled "Contained Measures of Kolanut" with two photos, one of a tree called adekola and one with two girls imitating trees. Nkanga explained that the Kola tree is important for its culture and is a symbol of spirituality to its culture. After she suggested eating a brown nut ("Cola acuminata") or a cream ("Cola nitida"). These elements existed for preparing a conversation. This type of performance can last for hours and requires a lot of concentration.

paragraph: The same year, she proposed a performance for the Tate programme "Politics of Representation" in which she invited visitors to explore the concepts of identity, perception, and memory.
