paragraph: Ben Sheets

paragraph: Ben Michael Sheets (born July 18, 1978) is an American former professional baseball pitcher who played for the Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, and Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball.

paragraph: Sheets is a four-time MLB All-Star (2001, 2004, 2007, and 2008). He won a gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Prep and college.

paragraph: Sheets graduated from St. Amant High School and went to college at Northeast Louisiana University (now the University of Louisiana at Monroe) on a baseball scholarship. He once struck out twenty batters in a game against Louisiana Tech. In the summer of 1998, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL) with the Wareham Gatemen, and returned to the CCBL in 1999 to play with the Orleans Cardinals, where he was a teammate of fellow future Major Leaguer Mark Teixeira. Sheets was inducted into the CCBL hall of fame in 2008.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Milwaukee Brewers.

paragraph: Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the first round (10th overall) of the 1999 draft, he made his professional debut with the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer League. In August, against the Idaho Falls Chukars, Sheets struck out eight batters while allowing just one hit through five innings. Later in the month, he was promoted to Class A Stockton of the California League. In his seven minor league starts that year, Sheets averaged a strikeout ratio of 10.09 batters per nine innings.

paragraph: In 2000, Sheets was on the United States national team for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He pitched 22 innings, struck out 11 batters, walked one, and gave up 11 hits during the tournament, and faced off against Cuban ace Pedro Luis Lazo in the gold medal game, giving up three singles and advancing just one runner to second base for the entire game. Sheets gave up no walks and struck out five in a 4–0 complete game shutout.

paragraph: By 2001, Sheets had been promoted to the Brewers' starting rotation. His first two starts resulted in losses, but he won his next four, while pitching to a 1.73 ERA. On May 29, in his ninth career start, he pitched his first shutout, giving up 5 hits against the St. Louis Cardinals. He ended the season 11–10 with a 4.76 ERA. In 2003, Sheets was troubled by bulging discs in his lower back. "My back has been hurt but you've got to go out there and perform," he said. Over the final two months of the season, Sheets pitched poorly and finished the year 11–13 with a 4.45 ERA.

paragraph: In 2004, Sheets' trouble with a bulging disc subsided. On June 13, 2004, Sheets struck out three batters on nine pitches in the third inning of a 5–4 loss to the Houston Astros. He became the 26th National League pitcher and the 35th pitcher in Major League history to accomplish the nine-strike/three-strikeout half-inning. During 2004, his fastball was being clocked regularly at 96 to , primarily a result of improved health. That season he also struck out 18 batters in a May 16, 2004 game against the Atlanta Braves, shattering the franchise-record of 14, set by Moose Haas in 1978.

paragraph: By the end of the season, Sheets established himself as a strikeout threat, throwing 264, to finish second in the National League and third in the majors behind Randy Johnson and Johan Santana. After posting an ERA above 4.00 in his previous three seasons, Sheets compiled a dominant 2.70 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, which ranked Sheets fourth and third, respectively, among all starting pitchers. Most impressively, Sheets amassed only 32 walks, giving Sheets a strikeout-to-walk ratio of over 8:1, far and away the best in the major leagues. A mediocre 12–14 win-loss record during this outstanding season was primarily the result of poor run support. Sheets finished 8th in the Cy Young Award voting.

paragraph: In response to his success in 2004, the Brewers signed Sheets to a four-year, $38.5 million extension. At that time, it was the largest contract in Brewers history. However, since signing the contract, Sheets has struggled with health issues. A series of inner ear infections that caused dizziness and a loss of balance forced Sheets onto the disabled list for a period of time in the beginning of the 2005 season.

paragraph: Sheets started the 2006 season on the disabled list but quickly came off it only to pitch three starts before going on the DL again with shoulder tendinitis. He returned to the starting rotation two weeks after the All-Star break. Sheets pitched a 7-inning shutout against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In his second game back he would pitch nearly a complete game shutout but in the 9th, Sheets gave up a 2-run homer to Ken Griffey Jr of the Reds.

paragraph: In 2007, Sheets started both his and the Brewers' season on a high note by throwing an Opening Day complete game, two-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. A strained hamstring in August forced him to miss the rest of the 2007 regular season.

paragraph: Sheets started on Opening Day 2008 in a 4–3 win over the Cubs. He batted eighth in the lineup, the first Brewers starting pitcher to bat in a position other than ninth. He also gave up Kosuke Fukudome's first major league hit in the bottom of the second. In his second start, Sheets threw only the second complete-game shutout of his career, beating the San Francisco Giants 7–0 in a five-hit, eight-strikeout performance.

paragraph: On May 10, Sheets struck out St. Louis Cardinals' first baseman Albert Pujols on an 0–2 breaking ball in the first inning to reach 1,082 strikeouts, breaking Teddy Higuera's club mark. On July 9, Sheets had a season-high 11 strikeouts including the first 7 outs as strikeouts. By mid-July, he was 10–3 with a 2.85 ERA and was chosen as a starting pitcher for the National League in the 2008 All-Star Game. Pitching in his fourth All-Star Game, Sheets became the first Milwaukee Brewer pitcher to start an All-Star Game. It was also the first time that Sheets was in Yankee Stadium. In his 2008 All-Star outing, he pitched two scoreless innings, giving up one hit, walking two, and striking out three.

paragraph: Sheets finished the season with 13–9 with a 3.09 ERA in 31 starts and 198 innings pitched. He went to 3–0 on only 2% of all batters he faced in the season, the lowest percentage in the majors. He also threw curveballs 33% of the time, more than any other starter in the major leagues. At the end of the season, he incurred a tear in his right elbow, underwent Tommy John surgery and did not pitch in the postseason.

paragraph: In October 2008, Sheets filed for free agency. Most teams were put off by Sheets due to his propensity for injuries. In addition, Sheets was a "type-A" free agent, meaning that if a team signed him before the Rule 4 draft, they would forfeit a draft pick to the Brewers. During the off-season, the New York Mets and the Texas Rangers expressed interest in signing Sheets. He had elbow surgery to repair the torn flexor tendon, and the Milwaukee Brewers were faced with the possibility of having to pick up the cost. After having elbow surgery he began rehabbing the elbow at TMI Sports Medicine in Arlington, Texas. The clinic is owned and operated by the Texas Rangers team doctor. While Sheets was not technically connected to the Texas Rangers, they did show interest in the offseason.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Oakland Athletics.

paragraph: On January 26, 2010, Sheets agreed to a one-year, $10 million with an additional $2 million in incentives, contract with the Oakland Athletics. Sheets got the Opening Day start, going 5 innings allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 4 hits while striking out 3 and walking 4, receiving a 'no-decision'. The Athletics lost the game in the bottom of the 9th.

paragraph: On July 29, 2010, the Athletics announced Sheets would miss the remainder of the season due to a torn flexor in his right elbow. His season ended with Sheets going 4-9 in 20 starts.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Atlanta Braves.

paragraph: On July 1, 2012, the Atlanta Braves announced that Sheets had signed a minor league contract with the organization in order to attempt a comeback to the major leagues. He made his first minor league start with the Mississippi Braves on July 4, 2012. On July 12, the Braves announced that they had called Sheets up from the minors. Sheets made his first start in nearly two years on July 15 against the New York Mets. He pitched 6 scoreless innings, giving up two hits and striking out five to earn the win. After his second start also resulted in no runs given up by Sheets, who pitched six innings of 5-hit, 6-strikeout ball, he stated, "If you asked me if I'm surprised I haven't given up a run, yeah I am. But I'm not surprised I'm getting people out. I wouldn't have come back if I didn't think I could get people out." Sheets made the final start of his career Wednesday, October 3, 2012 against the Pirates.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Sheets was born on July 18, 1978 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During the 2004 season, Sheets resided in St. Amant, Louisiana. In 2008, he was living in Highland Park, Texas. He and his wife Julie have two sons, Seaver (named after Tom Seaver) and Miller Bennett. Sheets is also part owner of the American Hockey League's Milwaukee Admirals. He enjoys Cajun food, including jambalaya and crawfish etouffee. Since 2013 Sheets has been a volunteer baseball coach at his alma mater the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Andy Sheets, the former major league infielder, is a distant cousin.

paragraph: On June 13, 2014, Sheets was inducted into the Brewers Wall of Honor for pitching over 1000 innings with the club.

paragraph: Al Harris (cornerback)

paragraph: Alshinard Harris (born December 7, 1974) is an American football coach and former cornerback. Harris played for fourteen seasons in the National Football League (NFL) from 1998 to 2011. He most recently coached the defensive backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs. Harris played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, and St. Louis Rams. He was selected for the Pro Bowl after his 2006 and 2007 seasons in Green Bay. The AP also named him a second-team All-Pro in 2007.

paragraph: Harris was known throughout the league for his physical, bump and run coverage style and was also known for his long, stringy dreadlocks, influencing others in the NFL. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 1997 NFL Draft. He played college football at Texas A&M-Kingsville.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Harris spent two seasons (1993–94) at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas where he was a member of the 1994 national championship team. He then transferred to Texas A&M University-Kingsville where he was a two-year starter and letterman (1995–96). Harris was a first-team All-Lone Star Conference pick in 1996.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

paragraph: Harris was drafted in the sixth round of the 1997 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He spent the entire season on their practice squad. He spent the 1998 preseason with the Buccaneers, but was released on August 30.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Philadelphia Eagles.

paragraph: Harris was claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Eagles on August 31, 1998. He made his NFL debut a week later against the Seattle Seahawks as the starting right cornerback in place of injured Bobby Taylor. He started seven games and played in all 16 during the 1998 season. On November 6, 2000, Harris signed a five-year contract extension with the Eagles.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Green Bay Packers.

paragraph: Following the 2002 season, Green Bay acquired Harris and a fourth round choice in that year's draft in exchange for the Packers' second round selection. Harris went on to start all 32 regular season games over the next two seasons for Green Bay.

paragraph: In a 2003 NFC wildcard playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks Harris returned an interception 52 yards for the game-winning touchdown 4:25 in overtime, making it the first playoff game ever to be won in overtime with a defensive touchdown. The game was memorable for Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's ironic comment after winning the coin toss for the start of overtime, telling the microphoned referee, and thus the crowd at Lambeau Field and the national television audience, "We want the ball, and we're going to score."

paragraph: In 2005, Harris only allowed one touchdown in coverage, and Harris finished the season with three sacks, ten pass deflections, and three interceptions (one for touchdown in a 52-3 win over the New Orleans Saints).

paragraph: In 2006, Harris finished the season with three interceptions and 14 pass deflections.

paragraph: On February 13, 2007 it was announced that Harris signed a two-year contract extension with the Packers. The deal was an add-on to the five-year, $18.7 million extension that Harris signed in 2004, a contract that included about $7 million in guarantees. That extension still had three seasons remaining on it, through 2009. Financial details of the new extension were not yet available, but Harris told the Wisconsin State Journal that it included two roster bonuses totaling $4.5 million, along with some Pro Bowl incentives.

paragraph: Harris played in the 2008 Pro Bowl, along with teammates Brett Favre, Chad Clifton, Donald Driver, and Aaron Kampman, as well as head coach Mike McCarthy.

paragraph: Harris was originally thought to be out for the remainder of the 2008 season because of a ruptured spleen suffered during the first quarter of the game against Dallas, when he collided with fellow Green Bay Packer A.J. Hawk. However, Harris came back to the Packers in their game against the Tennessee Titans on November 2, 2008.

paragraph: On November 22, 2009 Al Harris suffered a potentially career-ending injury to the outside of his left knee in a home game against the San Francisco 49ers. Harris fell to the ground while trailing Niners wide receiver Michael Crabtree; no contact caused the injury, Harris reported his foot simply 'got caught in the ground'. Harris tore the anterior cruciate ligament, the lateral collateral ligament, the iliotibial band, the fibular collateral ligament, and the lateral hamstring. His knee was surgically reconstructed eight days later resulting in Harris spending the remainder of the season rehabilitating his knee.

paragraph: Harris started the 2010 season on the ' Physically Unable to Perform (PUP)' list, then returned to practice on October 19. On November 8, 2010 Al Harris was taken off the list and waived by the Green Bay Packers. He passed through waivers unclaimed, making him a free agent. Green Bay paid Harris the pro-rated portion of his $2.5 million salary, as the team was not obligated to pay the rest even though he passed through waivers.

paragraph: On Sunday, November 21, 2010, Harris took out a large advertisement in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, thanking Packer fans for 'always supporting (him)'. The Packers won the Super Bowl that year, and Harris received a championship ring.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Miami Dolphins.

paragraph: Harris signed a 1-year deal with the Miami Dolphins on November 10, 2010. He played three games before suffering a hamstring injury and was placed on injured reserve. On December 30, 2010, the Dolphins reached an injury settlement with Harris and he was released.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:St. Louis Rams.

paragraph: On July 29, 2011, Harris agreed to terms with the St. Louis Rams. On November 13, 2011, Harris suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during a regular season game against the Cleveland Browns and did not return to the game. The following day, November 14, 2011, Harris was placed on injured reserve.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Retirement.

paragraph: On May 1, 2013 Ted Thompson, Packers Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, stated that Al Harris had informed the team of his decision to retire as a Green Bay Packer. When asked to comment Harris said, "Just over my career I had an awesome time, but the better part of my years were in Green Bay, (so) it was just important to me to retire as a Packer," nearly 3½ years since he played his final snap for the Packers. "I had a great experience in Philadelphia, great experience in Tampa and everywhere else I played, but Green Bay is a special place to play football."

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.:Miami Dolphins.

paragraph: During the 2012 season, Harris served as a coaching intern under coach Joe Philbin for the Miami Dolphins.

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.:Kansas City Chiefs.

paragraph: Sophie Trébuchet

paragraph: Sophie Françoise Trebuchet was a French painter and the mother of Victor Hugo. She was born on June 19, 1772 in Nantes and died on June 27, 1821 in Paris, France.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Sophie Françoise Trébuchet was born on June 19, 1772, in Nantes, rue des Carmélites, the fourth of eight children. Her father, Jean-François Trébuchet, was captain of a ship and her mother Louise Le Normand (1748-1780), from Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine, was the daughter of the seneschal Château-Thébaud.

paragraph: Some time after her birth, Trébuchet was baptized in the church of Saint-Laurent.

paragraph: She became an orphan at the age of eight, when her mother died on August 14, 1780, three weeks after giving birth to her eighth child, who did not survive. Her father, in financial trouble, was forced to accept a mission in the Indian Ocean from shipowners in Brest. He auctioned off some of the couple's property in order to pay for the equipment of the ship "The Count of Grasse", and then embarked. He took care before his departure to place his seven surviving children in boarding school, while the two eldest went respectively to his nephew Louis Trébuchet and his sister-in-law Louise Mathurine Le Normand du Buisson.

paragraph: After the death of their father, the children were divided between the remaining family, while Trébuchet left her guardian, Menant-Dugué, to meet her paternal aunt, Françoise-Louise Trébuchet.

paragraph: Section::::The revolution.

paragraph: On July 18, 1789, Trébuchet attended the revolutionary riots in Nantes. Her royalist conscience was born during the execution of two young girls and their mother, Madame de La Biliais, whom she knew during her childhood. This episode remained in her memory for the rest of her life. During the Terror, sparked in Nantes by Jean-Baptiste Carrier, Trébuchet returned to Châteaubriant. But on February 11, 1796, she witnessed a battle in Grand-Auverné between Republicans and Chouans. The same year, she met Joseph Léopold Sigisbert Hugo in Châteaubriant, a Republican soldier with whom she fell in love. On November 15, 1797, they were married in Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Married life.

paragraph: The couple then moved to the Maison-Commune in Paris. Their first child, Abel Hugo, was born on November 15, 1798. While staying with the Hugo family, Trébuchet became pregnant a second time, and desired to return to Brittany, but her husband refused. Eugène Hugo was born on September 16, 1800, in Nancy, rue des Maréchaux. Léopold Hugo was appointed adjutant-general at Lunéville, where Trébuchet met Joseph Bonaparte. Later, the family went to Besançon. On February 26, 1802, Trébuchet's third child, Victor was born in Saint-Quentin.

paragraph: Léopold was then sent to Marseilles, where the rest of his family joined him. Once there, he sought a promotion and sent Trébuchet to Victor Fanneau de Lahorie in Paris. She stayed in Paris, where she moved to the Hotel de Nantes, rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs, where Victor Fanneau de Lahorie, who had been her lover for some time, was living. Some speculation indicates he may have been Victor's father.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In the beginning of 1803, Léopold went to Bastia, Victor Fanneau de Lahorie moved to rue des Saussaies and bought the Château de Saint-Just. Trébuchet went to Livorno to rejoin her husband and children, and leart that Leopold has a mistress named Catherine Thomas. Trebuchet returns to Paris with her three sons.

paragraph: Sophie moved to rue de Clichy and decided to hide Lahorie, who was suspected of going against the government. These cases were clarified, but Lahorie was forced to sell his properties (including Saint-Just) and to go into exile in America, which he refused. In 1806, Trébuchet and the children visited Leopold in Naples, where he was living with his mistress. He opposed the idea of his family joining him due to his fears that his wife would discover his affair.

paragraph: Trébuchet and her children came to see Hugo anyway, but left the next day for Paris with the children. They arrived on February 7, 1809 and settled in an old convent, rue des Feuillantines.

paragraph: The chapel there was used as a hiding place for Victor Fanneau de Lahorie. The children, at first, did not know of his presence, but soon discovered it. As a precaution, Trébuchet had him renamed M. de La Courland, and he became a new father for the three sons. On December 29, 1810 Victor Fanneau de Lahorie was betrayed and arrested at the Feuillantines, under the eyes of the Trébuchet-Hugo family.

paragraph: In March 1811, the family went to Spain to visit Léopold, who had become Count of Siguenza. But he was not aware of the visit; thus, after a frightful journey through a hostile country at war, the family was welcomed in Madrid by his brother. Irritated by the actions of his wife, Léopold, living in Guadalajara with his mistress, sought divorce and the custody of his children, whom he placed at the College of Nobles in Madrid.

paragraph: Trébuchet refused her husband's instructions and asked for help from Joseph Bonaparte, who became king of Spain; the spouses were quickly reconciled. But after some time, Léopold leart from an unknown source the connection between Victor Fanneau de Lahorie and Trébuchet. She hoped to return to Paris as soon as possible for news of her lover.

paragraph: One day she received an amount of 4,750 francs from Paris (she suspected Lahorie of having sent it) and decided to leave at once; she took advantage of the escort of Marshal Bellune to cross Spain without trouble. In Paris, she regularly visited her lover, incarcerated in Vincennes.

paragraph: She paid attention to the plot of General Malet, who announced the death of Napoleon Bonaparte in Russia. Victor Fanneau de Lahorie, once released, was to become Minister of Police. But the plot was unveiled and the conspirators, of whom he was part, were imprisoned in the prison of the Abbey; they were all shot in the plain of Grenelle on October 29, 1812. Sophie follows the funeral convoy to the Vaugirard cemetery.

paragraph: On December 31, 1813, the family moved to rue des Vieilles Thuileries (now rue du Cherche-Midi). Leopold arrived at Thionville where he presented Catherine Thomas as "General Hugo". Trébuchet decided to locate her husband, after he stopped paying their rent. She entrusted Eugene and Victor to the Foucher family and left with Abel. Leopold again asked for divorce, on grounds of adultery, and placed his sons in boarding school.

paragraph: When Sophie returned to Paris, she discovered her apartment under seal and therefore asked the Fouchers for hospitality. Later, Leopold arrived in Paris with Catherine Thomas, whom he presented in the Salons; he returned to Thionville during the Hundred Days. Sophie regularly visited her sons at their college.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: After finding her apartment, Trébuchet, impoverished, was forced to move to rue des Petits-Augustins, now rue Bonaparte.

paragraph: She recovered the custody of her children in 1818, when the civil court of the Seine pronounced the separation of the bodies and property of the Hugo couple. Abel was 20 years old, Eugène 18, and Victor 16. The eldest became a half-pay lieutenant and the younger two joined the Faculty of Law, while their father thought they were going to the Polytechnique. Discovering that Victor had extraordinary talents in poetry, she sought to develop her own artistic talents. Victor dedicated his first poems to his mother.

paragraph: The family was very close to Foucher, meeting regularly since the early years of his sons and Mrs. Foucher received them for evenings at his home in Toulouse. One day, Trébuchet discovered that Victor and Adèle Foucher were in love. Not thinking much of the girl, she opposed their relationship.

paragraph: In the spring of 1820, Sophie Trébuchet tended the garden, but suffered from the cold. She fell ill and died in bed in the afternoon of June 27, 1821.

paragraph: She was buried on June 28 at the Vaugirard Cemetery; much later, Victor had her remains transferred to Père-Lachaise, where Trébuchet lies as "Countess Hugo".

Ohm went on to release an album through the British label M.E.L.T. 2000 and touring England and the Netherlands in 2000. In 1998 he moved to Johannesburg and joined the industrial group Battery 9, appearing on their album "Sondebok", released by BMG in 1999.

paragraph: Russell Froelich (1890–1958) was an American photographer who lived in St. Louis, Missouri. He is known for his aerial photography as well as his photographs of local St. Louis culture. He also spent time designing and building aircraft.

paragraph: Section::::Pre-WWI.

paragraph: Russell Froelich was born in 1890 in Ohio and moved to St. Louis in his late teens. In his early twenties, he worked with local pilots to design and build aircraft. He began to photograph these planes, and soon became the official photographer for the Benoist Aircraft Company. In 1911, he was featured in “The American Photo Engraver” for an original design of an aircraft. He called his invention a monoplane rather than an airplane, hoping to achieve automatic stability by construction and without mechanical device.

paragraph: Section::::Post-WWI.

paragraph: After the U.S. entry into World War I in 1917, he honed his photography skills by using wing-mounted cameras. This idea aided the U.S. Signal Corps in developing terrain maps in Europe during the war. After the conclusion of World War I, Froelich continued his aerial photography but also began working for local St. Louis newspapers, such as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and the St. Louis Star. He photographed numerous scenes in and around St. Louis, including photographs of streets, pets, and natural disasters. He also worked on creating early color photographic techniques.

paragraph: Alberto Da Zara

paragraph: Alberto Da Zara (8 April 1889 – 4 June 1951) was an Italian admiral of the Regia Marina.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born at Padua, he joined the navy in 1907 and participated in the Italo-Turkish War and the First World War; during the latter, he commanded the small force that occupied the island of Pelagosa in the Adriatic Sea, and although the occupation ceased after a month due to several difficulties, he was promoted to Lieutenant.

paragraph: In the inter-war years he first commanded a gunboat in the Dodecanese, and then the river gunboat "Ermanno Carlotto" on the Yangtze in the Far East, from 1922 to 1925. In 1933, promoted to Captain, he was slated to be the first commander of the modern cruiser "Emanuele Filiberto Duca d'Aosta", commissioned two years later; from April 1937 he transferred on the cruiser "Raimondo Montecuccoli", which was assigned to the Far East til November 1938. On 2 January 1939 he was promoted to Rear Admiral, and from April he became commander of the maritime command in newly occupied Albania.

paragraph: On Italy's declaration of war (10 June 1940), Da Zara was assigned to command two cruisers of the 4th Division (the "da Giussano" and the "da Barbiano"), and in such capacity he fought, albeit in a very minor role, in the Battle of Punta Stilo (also called the "Battle of Calabria"). Afterwards, he was assigned to some minor commands, such as commander of the La Spezia Naval Base. On 5 March 1942 he took command of the 7th Naval Division (replacing Raffaele de Courten), made of the four light cruisers of the "Montecuccoli" and "D'Aosta" classes; on 15 June 1942, his command fought the Battle of Pantelleria ("Operation Harpoon"), often considered one of the few squadron-sized Italian successes on the sea during the war. His division sailed again to contest Operation Pedestal, but its sortie was aborted and had to return to port.

paragraph: On 1 August 1943 Da Zara took command of the 5th Division, made up of the two old battleships "Duilio" and "Andrea Doria", stationed at Taranto.

paragraph: William Thoms

paragraph: William John Thoms (16 November 1803 – 15 August 1885) was a British writer credited with coining the term "folklore" in 1846. Thoms's investigation of folklore and myth led to a later career of debunking longevity myths, where he was a pioneer demographer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born on 16 November 1803.

paragraph: Thoms worked as an antiquary, and miscellaneous writer, for many years a clerk in the secretary's office of Chelsea Hospital. He was made a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and became secretary to the Camden Society in 1838. In 1845, he was appointed Clerk to the House of Lords, and subsequently Deputy Librarian at the House of Lords Library. In 1849, he founded

paragraph: the quarterly journal "Notes and Queries", which for some years he also edited.

paragraph: Thoms is credited with inventing the term "folklore" in an 1846 letter to the "Athenaeum". He invented this compound word to replace the various other terms used at the time, including "popular antiquities" or "popular literature". He was fond of the works of Jacob Grimm, which he considered remarkable.

paragraph: His first book, "Early Prose Romances" (3 vol. 1827-1828), was published with encouragement from Francis Douce, and gave versions of English tales such as "Robert the Devyl, Thomas a Reading, Friar Bacon, Friar Rush, Virgilius, Robin Hood, George a Green, Tom a Lincolne, Helyas, and Dr. Faustus".

paragraph: Among his publications are "Lays and Legends" (1834), "The Book of the Court" (1838), "Gammer Gurton's Famous Histories" (1846), "Gammer Gurton's Pleasant Stories" (1848). He also edited Stow's "Survey of London" in 1842.

paragraph: Thoms was a leading member of the Folklore Society, founded in 1878, though his involvement in its establishment is poorly investigated.

paragraph: In the 1870s, William Thoms began investigating claims to "ultra-centenarianism." He is credited with first formulating the concept that claims of very old age are typically exaggerated. His book "Human Longevity: Its Facts and Fictions" (1873) laid down some rules for validating longevity claims.

paragraph: Thoms died on 15 August 1885 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Thoms is associated with many publications, as editor, compiler or author. He used the pseudonym Ambrose Merton for several works.

paragraph: He began a column titled Folk-Lore in Charles Wentworth Dilke's "Athenaeum" in 1846, the same publisher encouraged him to begin "Notes and Queries" and was editor of this until 1872. His early attempt to produce a collection of folk tales, advertised as "Folk-Lore of England", did not appear, but his later antiquarian publications sometimes reprinted his articles and material from subscribers.

paragraph: Gyula László (Kőhalom, 14 March 1910 – Nagyvárad (today: Oradea) 17 July 1998) was a Hungarian historian, archaeologist and artist.

paragraph: His main work is the novel theory of "double conquest" of the Carpathian Basin by Hungarians in 5th and 9th century. The essence of the theory is that (Pannonian) Avar culture is similar, or sometimes identical to Hungarian culture, so the conquest in circa 895, confirmed by all historians, must have been essentially a second entrance that followed an earlier, broader, less well documented, Avar invasion. This attempts to reconcile Hungarian chronicles, such as Chronicon Pictum with external chronicles mentioning invasions of Pannonian Avars.

paragraph: Geoffrey and his brother took the surname Mandeville because of the lineage of their mother, Beatrice de Say, who was a granddaughter of Beatrice de Mandeville, the sister of Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex (d. 1144). The elder Beatrice inherited the Mandeville honor in 1189, on the death of her nephew William de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex.

The king charged Geoffrey 20,000 marks, an unprecedented amount, for her marriage and inheritance.

paragraph: On his death in a tournament in February 1216, Geoffrey was succeeded by his brother William FitzGeoffrey de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex. His widow Isabel was remarried to Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent but died within weeks of the wedding.

paragraph: Jenny Arean

paragraph: Jenny Arean (born Joanna Jenneke Josepha Klarenbeek, October 4, 1942) is a Dutch singer, actress and comedian. She is known for her contralto voice.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Arean was born in Lisse and raised in Amsterdam. Her father was a waiter and her mother was the singer Conny Renoir. Her mother's mother was also a singer, Henny Verra.

paragraph: When Arean was 14 years old she saw a performance by the Dutch comedian Wim Sonneveld. At that moment she knew where she wanted to be: on stage. Her mother reckoned her too young for that and at the age of 15 Arean quit school and became a housekeeper. In 1960 she got employment at the ABC-cabaret, managed by Wim Kan and his wife Corry Vonk. Vonk suggested she change her name to Jenny Arean.

paragraph: In the late 1960s Arean played in plays, musicals ("En nu naar bed" by Annie M.G. Schmidt) and television series.

paragraph: From 1963 till 1973 she was married to the Dutch actor Huib Rooymans. They had one daughter, Myra, and divorced because Arean had an affair with her colleague Frans Halsema. In 1977 Arean and Halsema had a big hit with the song Vluchten kan niet meer.

paragraph: In the early 1980s Arean had a relationship with the Dutch journalist and writer Ischa Meijer. Together they played four productions all written by Meijer. He also stimulated her to play solo productions. In 1985 she played the first one in a long sequence: Gescheiden vrouw op oorlogspad. With that she won several awards, among them the Johan Kaart Prize and the Scheveningen Cabaret Prize. In 2018 she received a Knighthood in the Order of the Dutch Lion.

paragraph: Christian Schussele

paragraph: Christian Schussele (born 16 April 1824 in Guebwiller, Alsace – 20 August 1879 in Merchantville, New Jersey) was an American artist and teacher, and is credited with designing the American Medal of Honor. He studied under Adolphe Yvon and Paul Delaroche 1842–1848 and then came to the United States. Here, for some time, he worked at chromolithography which he had also pursued in France. Later he devoted himself almost entirely to painting.

paragraph: His "Men of Progress" (1857) featured a group portrait of nineteen American inventors and innovators. While all those portrayed were still alive, they had never met as a group but were composed from existing individual portraits. It is now housed in Cooper Union, New York City;

paragraph: Other well-known works include "Clear the Track" (1851); "Franklin before the Lords in Council" (1856); "Zeisberger preaching to the Indians" (1859); "The Iron-Worker and King Solomon" (1860); "Washington at Valley Forge" (1862); "McClellan at Antietam" (1863); and "Home on Furlough" (1864).

paragraph: About 1863, he was attacked by palsy in the right hand. In 1865, he went abroad and underwent severe treatment with no apparent benefit. On his return, in 1868, he was elected to fill the chair, then founded, of drawing and painting in the Pennsylvania Academy, which he held until his death. During this period he produced "Queen Esther denouncing Haman," owned by the Academy (1869), and "The Alsatian Fair" (1870). Most of the paintings that have been named became widely known through large prints by John Sartain and other engravers.

paragraph: Painter Thomas Eakins covered Schussele's classes when he was too ill to teach. Eakins succeeded Schussele as instructor of painting and drawing at the Academy.

paragraph: Marcus Antonius Coccius Sabellicus

paragraph: Marcus Antonius Coccius Sabellicus (1436–1506) was a scholar and historian from Venice. He is known for his universal history, "Enneades sive Rhapsodia historiarum".

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Vicovaro, his surname was originally Cocci; he took his Latinised name as a pupil of Pomponius Laetus. He studied also with Porcelio Pandone (1405–1485) and Gaspar Veronese.

paragraph: Sabellicus became professor of eloquence at Udine in 1473, but was dismissed in 1482. After a short period at Verona, he went to Venice, with the Venetian history he had written speculatively. He was given a teaching position as deputy to Giorgio Valla. In 1487 he was appointed as a curator of the Biblioteca Marciana.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Sabellicus while at Udine wrote an antiquarian work on Aquileia that appeared in 1482. He then produced a Latin history of Venice, "Historiae rerum venetarum ab urbe condita", with official encouragement; but it proved unpopular with the citizens. He wrote further works concerned with Venice, and as a humanist scholar wrote commentaries on classical authors. The "Enneades sive Rhapsodia historiarum" appeared in 1498. His collected works were published in 1560 at Basel.

paragraph: The "Historiae rerum venetarum" had a first continuator, Andrea Navagero, who died having asked for his work to be destroyed. A second continuator, Pietro Bembo, was appointed in 1530, and he brought it up to 1513.

paragraph: An early poem in hexameters, "De rerum et artium inventoribus", was an influence on Polydore Vergil, whom Sabellicus had helped with Guidobaldo of Urbino. It derives from the "Historia Naturalis" of Pliny the Elder, book VII, on the history of inventions. It was also quoted verbatim by Otto Heurnius, writing in 1600 a pioneering history of "barbarian philosophy".

paragraph: He also wrote "De Venetis magistratibus", Venice: Antonius de Strata, 1488, on the duties of various Venetian magistrates; it has a dedication letter of the author to the doge Augustinus Barbadicus and letter to the reader of Petrus Benedictus Venetus
