paragraph: John Deane (sailor)

paragraph: Captain John Deane (1679–1761) was an English sailor with a long career in the Royal Navy and Russian Navy. He rose to the rank of captain in the Royal Navy, commanding in the Capture of Gibraltar. Deane later commanded an ill-fated trading vessel, the "Nottingham Galley", shipwrecked on Boon Island in 1710. Dean spent 1714–1721 in service with the Tsar Peter the Great commanding a Russian naval ship. He then worked in Flanders as British Consul to the Port of Ostend until 1740, when he retired to his native Wilford, Nottingham. He died in 1761 from injuries in a violent assault. His wife died on the next day.

paragraph: The many accounts of his life include that of William Henry Giles Kingston, who confirms that Deane "really existed", and Richard H. Warner. His shipwreck on Boon Island and suspected cannibalism appear in accounts by W. C. Riess. and A. Nightingale.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: John Deane was born in Nottingham in 1679. His father was Jasper Deane, buried at St Wilfrid's Church, Wilford, where John Deane and his wife were also buried. He had one brother, named Jasper after their father, who accompanied Deane on his later voyages aboard the "Nottingham Galley".

paragraph: Deane's early upbringing was in relative poverty, working as an apprentice to a butcher and drover around Nottingham and London.

paragraph: During his time as an apprentice, he is said to have "fallen into bad company" and taken to poaching and deer-stealing, which were serious offences in the late 17th century.

paragraph: Section::::Royal Navy.

paragraph: Suspected as a necessity to escape prosecution, Deane enlisted in the Royal Navy. Kingston references Deane as having risen to the rank of captain and led in the Capture of Gibraltar at the height of the War of the Spanish Succession before becoming a merchant sailor in about 1709.

paragraph: Warner contends that Deane was more likely to have served as master's mate than to have been a Captain. However, Warner concedes that Deane had acquired the necessary skills to navigate a ship on a trans-Atlantic voyage by the time he became a Merchant Sailor with his awareness of the New England coast indicating that Deane had made the journey before.

paragraph: Section::::"Nottingham Galley" and Boon Island.

paragraph: With the assistance of his father and brother, in c.1709 Deane purchased a small merchant galley which he called the "Nottingham Galley". In 1710, Captain Deane and his crew of thirteen aboard the "Nottingham Galley" set sail from London for Boston. Deane's galley encountered severe weather whilst crossing the North-West Atlantic.

paragraph: At approximately 9 pm on 11 December the "Nottingham Galley" struck a rock outcrop on Boon Island, approximately seven miles off coast from York, Maine. The entire crew made it ashore on Boon Island, the cargo and galley were wrecked and lost to sea.

paragraph: The crew were marooned without food, shelter or fire. The ship's cook died soon after wrecking on the island with his body cast to sea. The carpenter died soon after. However, the crew made the decision to cannibalize the dead man in the hope of surviving until being rescued. Deane later wrote of the event, that the crew were "reduced to the most deplorable and melancholy circumstances imaginable". Having discussing the legal and moral ramification of the situation, the crew felt "obliged to submit to [their] craving appetites." Captain Deane disposed of elements of the body distinguishing it as that of a human. Lacking fire, the crew were forced to eat the body raw.

paragraph: The remaining twelve men survived through December and part of January without fire and with depleted resources. In mid-January, the remaining crew constructed a raft and sent two men toward the mainland in search of help. Before they could sail the seven miles to shore, the raft was overcome by the sea with the two men drowning. Residents on the mainland found one of the washed-up bodies and sent a rescue team to Boon Island the following day to rescue the remaining survivors.

paragraph: Before returning to England, some members of the crew, primarily led by his first mate Christopher Langman, signed a deposition and published a narrative of the shipwreck claiming that Deane and his brother purposely wrecked the ship for insurance money. Deane and his brother quickly published a counter-narrative disputing the claims made by the crew members.

paragraph: Section::::Russian Navy and Peter the Great.

paragraph: In 1714, Deane took service with the Tsar of Muscovy, Peter the Great in the Russian Navy. In 1715, Deane was given command of the fifth-rate, 32 gun warship, "Samson". Deane was a skilled commander and had successfully conducted over twenty raids on commercial vessels by 1719, gaining the admiration and patronage of Admiral Fyodor Apraksin, who presided over the Russian Admiralty from 1718 and commanded the Baltic Fleet from 1723.

paragraph: In 1717, the "Samson" raided two Swedish commercial vessels travelling through the Gulf of Danzig. However, the successful raid was interrupted by a Royal Navy frigate and a Royal Netherlands Navy man-of-war demanding that Deane relinquish the two vessels. Deane was overpower and forced to surrender the prizes.

paragraph: In 1719 Deane was accused of accepting a considerable bribe in exchange of the surrender of the two Swedish vessels. He was soon court-martialled and, although eleven officers and under-officers from his crew testified in support of Deane, was found guilty and was dismissed from service with a year in prison. The Tsar later reduced the sentence to a demotion to lieutenant and an assignment to transport timber in the remote region of Kazan.

paragraph: During the trial, Admiral Fyodor Apraksin granted Deane a passport in an attempt to assist him in returning to England." However, following the Treaty of Nystadt, ending the Great Northern War in 1721, Deane was dismissed from the Russian Navy and formally expelled from the country with the warning to "never return to Russia."

paragraph: Before his departure from Russia, Apraksin presented Deane with a documents describing him as "Captain Deane," permitting Deane to maintain the rank of Captain, a title he continued to use till his death.

paragraph: Deane documented his knowledge of the Russian Navy's tactics and affairs in a his 1721 publication “A History of the Russian Fleet during the Reign of Peter the Great.”

paragraph: Section::::British diplomat.

paragraph: In 1725, following his dismissal from the Russian Navy, Deane was enlisted as consul at St. Petersburg. Deane was expelled from Russia seventeen days later. In this time, Deane produced two detailed reports for the British Government. "An Account of Affairs in Russia, June–July 1725," a brief regarding the political fallout following the death of Peter the Great. Deane also produced "The Present State of the Maritime Power of Russia" which gave explicit detail on the Baltic fleet.

paragraph: Deane later intercepted a courier for the Jacobites who had been enlisted to deliver classified intelligence to an agent in Rotterdam, detailing Jacobite plans for the coming Spring. These actions, in addition to his earlier intelligence reports from St. Petersburg, brought Deane to the attention of the British prime minister, Robert Walpole as well as the secretary of state for the Northern Department, Charles Townshend, 2nd Viscount Townshend.

paragraph: In 1728 Deane was promoted to British Consul to the Port of Ostend at the request of Townshend.

paragraph: Deane's work at the Port of Ostend was greatly valued by the British Government with the arrangement of a good annual salary of £200 with expenses. He was noted for his effective suppression of the Ostend Company, the first attempt by the Holy Roman Empire to monopolise trade with the East Indies. Following eight years of service as British Consul in Ostend, Deane retired in 1736 to his home in Wilford, Nottinghamshire.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and retirement.

paragraph: Deane and his wife Sarah, first referenced in correspondence in 1725, had no children.

paragraph: Following his departure from the Russian Navy in 1725, Deane had constructed two large Georgian houses in the village of Wilford, south of Nottingham. He frequently visited his Wilford home sometimes for several months at a time whilst employed as Consul of the Port of Ostend and retired to there 1736. As of 2019, the two houses remain overlooking the Village Green.

paragraph: Deane was enrolled as a freeman of the City of Nottingham in 1744. In 1745 gave a considerably large contribution to the light horse regiment organized by the Evelyn Pierrepont, 2nd Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull, of nearby Holme Pierrepont Hall, in support of the suppression of the Jacobite rising of 1745.

paragraph: Deane died 1762 at the age of eighty-three following a violent assault and robbery whilst walking in fields near to his house, for which crime his assailant in due course was hanged. His wife passed away the following day at the age of eighty-two. They were interred together in the churchyard at St. Wilfrid's, Wilford.

paragraph: Mariotta Haliburton

paragraph: Mariotta Haliburton, Lady Home (circa 1500-circa 1563) was a 16th-century Scottish noblewoman. She varied the spelling of her forename between "Mariotta", "Marion", and "Mary". She is remembered for her defence and negotiation of the surrender of Hume Castle after the Battle of Pinkie when the castle was surrounded by an English army. Afterwards she continued to struggle for the rights of her people at the village of Hume in the Scottish Borders, writing both to the English commander and the Scottish leader.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Mariotta was the daughter of Patrick Haliburton of Dirleton Castle and Christine Wawane. She and her sisters Janet and Margaret were Patrick's heirs when he died in 1515. She married George, Lord Home before 7 April 1529. Their children included;

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret Home, who married Alexander Erskine of Gogar, mother of Thomas Erskine, 1st Earl of Kellie.

paragraph: BULLET::::- two other daughters.

paragraph: Mariotta's eldest sister, Janet, married William Ruthven, 2nd Lord Ruthven. Margaret married George Ker of Faldonside. On 22 June 1535, James V of Scotland confirmed Mariotta and George's ownership of lands forfeited by Alexander Home, 3rd Lord Home in return for their good service against the English enemy.

paragraph: Section::::At war.

paragraph: As the war of the Rough Wooing escalated, Regent Arran sent soldiers and guns to help defend their Castle at Hume. The English defeated the Scottish army at Pinkie near Musselburgh on Saturday 10 September 1547. Alexander Home was taken prisoner, and George was injured, and while he lay sick in Edinburgh, the English army arrived at Hume on 20 September. Mariotta herself negotiated the surrender of Hume Castle with the Earl of Somerset. Her instructions were brought to the castle by Somerset Herald and her sons Andrew and John agreed to surrender. The 78 Scottish soldiers within were allowed to leave, and Andrew handed the keys to the new English captain, Sir Edward Dudley.

paragraph: George and her eldest son, Alexander, were taken to England and the Tower of London. Mariotta continued to write to the Earl of Somerset seeking a better deal for her own family and the border people. She complained that people in Scotland said she had given up Hume Castle for money, and marvelled that they thought she could the keep the "sober barmkin" of Hume against the whole English army, while the whole Scottish nobility could not keep the field. Mariotta told the Earl that she dared not show her husband his letter and the pledges her people had made to England, and asked him to make new agreements that risked only their possessions, not their loyalty to Scotland.

paragraph: Eventually Alexander was allowed back to Scotland, and soon on Boxing Day 1548, Hume was taken from the English by a night raid. On 28 December Mariotta sent the news from Edinburgh to Mary of Guise, who had left Holyroodhouse for New Year at Stirling Castle. By March 1549, Mariotta was back at Hume with a garrison of French and Spanish troops. Now she wrote to Mary of Guise that the troops were disturbing the villagers because they would not pay for their groceries; Mariotta insisted Guise pay the soldiers so they would not trouble the poor folk of Hume. In another letter she advised Guise to maintain discipline amongst the soldiers at this crucial time for the Auld Alliance;"Your grace maun be very scherp batht on the Franch men and on the Scottis men, or it will nocht be weill; yet ader (either) to do as aferis to tham or lat it be, they mecht never getin sa gud ane tym. Pardon me that writtis sa hamly to your grace for in gud feth it cumis of gud hart as [any] that loifis bath the honour of Scotland and Frans."

paragraph: Mariotta's original letters to Somerset and Guise are kept in the National Library of Scotland and the Public Record Office at Kew. An English eyewitness, William Patten, described the bloodless siege after Pinkie and Mariotta's role. Patten cited a French proverb, that the siege was ended by a 'talking castle, and a woman who listens.' Jean de Beaugué, who later joined the French army at the Siege of Haddington, also gave an account of the siege, which praises Lady Home's resolve and emphasises the role her fears for her eldest son may have played in the negotiation.

paragraph: Section::::Sequel.

paragraph: Mariotta's grandson, Alexander Home, 1st Earl of Home married Mary (Dudley) Sutton a granddaughter of Edward Dudley the English captain of Hume. In 1617 this Anglo-Scottish marital union was celebrated by her kinsman and poet David Hume of Godscroft in the "Muses Welcome to the High and Mighty Prince James". Godscroft pictured the marriage as an epitome of the union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland, writing that Mary Dudley's hand now restored the houses and castles formerly destroyed in border warfare.

paragraph: Van de Velde was born in Haarlem. According to the RKD he was taught to paint by his father Jan van de Velde, but his still lifes show the influence of the Haarlem still life painter Willem Claesz Heda. He was active in Haarlem, in Amsterdam (in 1642 where he was married), and in Enkhuizen (the year of his death). Around 1620 he (and perhaps also his father) became the teacher of the calligrapher Nicolaes Bodding van Laer, the younger brother of Roeland and Pieter van Laer. He died in Enkhuizen.

paragraph: Francisque-Joseph Ramey de Sugny

paragraph: Francisque-Marie-Joseph Ramey, the Count of Sugny (14 September 1825 – 1 July 1908) was a French politician. In February 1871 he was elected to the post-defeat National Assembly where he supported the Legitimist faction. Subsequently, he stood on three successive occasions for election to the Senate (upper house), but without success.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Francisque-Marie-Joseph Ramey was born in the Château de la Bastie d'Urfé at Saint-Étienne-le-Molard, in the Loire department. He came from a political family. His grandfather, , had been briefly imprisoned during the Terror, but had survived long enough to be released following the fall of Robespierre.

paragraph: Francisque-Marie-Joseph Ramey de Sugny was elected to the National Assembly on 8 February 1871, representing his natal department in the legislature. Reflecting the rural traditionalism of his region, he belonged to the catholic monarchist faction in the chamber, backing the restoration of a monarchy and the dismissal of the republican President Thiers, and opposing the Constitutional Laws which established the Third Republic and the .

paragraph: He was also of the Canton of Saint-Just-en-Chevalet between 1852 and 1880, and then again between 1887 and 1904. Between 1880 and 1887 the position was held by a republican. His term in the National Assembly ended in 1876 and in the election of 30 January 1876 he was a candidate for the department, but he lost out narrowly to another (moderate) republican, Lucien Arbel. The constitutional crisis of May 1877 triggered another general election. Ramey de Sugny was a candidate again, but again without success. The margin of his defeat at his third attempt to gain election to the Senate, in 1879, was greater still.

paragraph: Mary O'Toole

paragraph: Mary O'Toole (4 April 1874 – 24 July 1954) was the first woman municipal judge of the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: O'Toole was born in Hacketstown, County Carlow, Ireland to Nicholas O'Toole and Brigid O'Toole (née O'Connor). Her father Nicholas was imprisoned in Naas Gaol in 1882 because he was a follower of Charles Stewart Parnell's no-rents campaign.

paragraph: O'Toole emigrated to the United States at age 16. She was the first woman to be naturalised in Steuben County, New York, in 1900, and afterwards became the first woman to be appointed official stenographer in Steuben County.

paragraph: Section::::Legal career.

paragraph: O'Toole studied at Washington College of Law, completing her Bachelor of Laws in 1908, and Master of Laws in 1914.

paragraph: She was first appointed Judge of the Municipal Court of Washington, D.C. by President Harding in 1921. At the time of her appointment, there were only three woman judges in the United States.

paragraph: In 1924, she was a delegate at a meeting of the American Bar Association, held in London.

paragraph: She was re-appointed to the Municipal Court by President Coolidge in 1925.

paragraph: O'Toole was a member of the board of trustees of the Washington College of Law, and held the position of Acting Dean of the College while Dean Grace Hays Riley attended the American Legion Convention in Paris in September 1927.

paragraph: In January 1928, E. E. Dudding, national president of the Prisoner's Aid Society, wrote to the Department of Justice nominating O'Toole to fill the vacancy on the bench of the District of Columbia Supreme Court caused by the resignation of Judge Adolph Hoehling, stating, "There is no better lawyer in Washington or anywhere else. She knows the law. She is judicial. She would make one of the best judges to be found and would, I think, raise public opinion of Federal courts".

paragraph: O'Toole was reappointed to the Municipal Court by President Hoover in 1929.

paragraph: In 1930, O'Toole was named one of the 50 women who had done the most for Washington by The Washington Post. Referring to O'Toole as a "pioneering woman member of the bench" and "a fixture in Washington's judiciary system", The Washington Post in 1934 reported on how, prior to her initial appointment, "the very mention of her name as a prospective member of the bench made usually dignified men pace the floor and use undignified language".

paragraph: In 1931, she was elected to the executive committee of the National Association of Women Lawyers, which her colleague Dr Ellen Spencer Mussey had helped found in 1919. She spoke at the Thirty-Seventh Annual Meeting of the National Association of Women Lawyers on 5 August 1936.

paragraph: O'Toole was also a member of the Phi Delta Delta Women's Legal Fraternity and the District of Columbia Women's Bar Association.

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Capital punishment.

paragraph: In September 1929, The Washington Daily News reported that O'Toole was "one of the most ardent anti-capital punishment workers in the District [of Columbia]". She is stated to have said, "I am convinced that experience, history, and psychology teach us that the death penalty is wrong. In any event, it does not suit our times and the upward and onward progress of our civilisation. That we constantly try to mitigate its horrors for ourselves by seeking and selecting the least painful methods of inflicting it, by limiting the number of witnesses, and so on, is the sure argument for its abolishment". O'Toole led a successful campaign to have the Washington Chamber of Commerce go on record as opposing capital punishment.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Divorce.

paragraph: An interview with O'Toole was published in The Washington Post on February 26, 1928, under the headline ""High Divorce Rate a Sign of Progress: Some Very Frank Opinions From a Woman on the Bench, Judge Mary O'Toole, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, and Why She Does Not 'View With Alarm' Recent Increase in Marriage Breaks"". She was quoted in the interview as saying, "A woman seeks divorce for one of three main reasons: To protect herself from a person no longer tolerable; to be free, perhaps to acquire other bonds; or to free her husband, her economic independence lulling the fear of want and poverty, so large a factor in the life of women of an earlier day".

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Women's suffrage.

paragraph: O'Toole campaigned for women's suffrage in Washington, D.C., and wrote a column for a local newspaper that started, "Why do I favour suffrage for the District? As well ask me why I want to eat. One seems quite as obvious as the other".

paragraph: Section::::Other interests.

paragraph: O'Toole was the first president of the Women's City Club of Washington, D.C. which was founded in 1919. On the club's ethos, O'Toole said the group hoped to attract not only women in the academic and professional sphere, but housewives as well. The Club's charter called for a "better understanding among women, and a place for women to meet and socialise".

paragraph: She was the first woman to be chosen as director of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, and was a director in the Citizens Savings Bank of Washington, D.C.

paragraph: O'Toole also had membership with the Sulgrave Institution, the Columbia Historical Society, the Catholic Actors Guild, the American Catholic History Association, the American Association of University Women, and the National Women's Republican Club (New York City).

paragraph: Section::::Extended family.

paragraph: O'Toole's great-grandniece is Lucy Mulhall, captain of the Irish Women's Rugby sevens team.

paragraph: Kaethe Katrin Wenzel

paragraph: Kaethe Katrin Wenzel (born November 1, 1972, in Aachen) is a German artist. She works are about Utopian ideas, the future, and alternative concepts for society. Her main instruments are drawing, interviews, the Internet, mechanics/electronics, and street art. She uses techniques from surveys to speculative fiction to explore "the collective production of culture, the interface of art and science, and the production and negotiation of public space". Her projects provide skeptical footnotes to global history.

paragraph: She modifies or mimics urban signs, advertisements, or services, jolting viewers out of their habitual ruts, upsetting conventional ways of seeing and of representing the world. Her interview-based drawing projects connect the streets and the Internet. Her aim is to create space for unusual thoughts and empowered communication: "The point is to rewrite existing structures as alterable, to change and rethink them (...) Through a collective work process (Wenzel) opens up new perspectives and visions of specific themes."

paragraph: Wenzel often actively involves passersby in surveys or service interventions, testing machines of her own invention, or she interviews citizens as local specialists – experimenting with forms of collective authorship and working against traditional notions of artists as "visionaries" who are supposed to possess special insights denied to the "average person".

paragraph: According to Wenzel, new ways of seeing, which are developing as part of the digital revolution, and of changing concepts of the urban realm are especially suitable for artistic infiltration to reflect the underlying structures of daily life.

paragraph: Section::::Life and works.

paragraph: In 2016, Wenzel became professor for Aesthetic Practice and Contexts at European University Flensburg. She studied in Marburg, Florence, and Berlin. In 2003 she received a PhD for her work "Meat as a Material in Art. Objects on the Interface of Art and Medicine" about oppositional artistic structures in the German Deocratic Republic (GDR).

paragraph: She was an exchange scholar with the Fulbright Program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, 2009–10. In a direct reaction to New York City she developed the Cartoonorama project, which combines drawing, interview, and cartography.

paragraph: Her art can be found in numerous museums and collections: the German Museum of Technology Berlin; the Szént István Király Múzeum, Székesfehérvár, Hungary; the Koblenz Middlerhine Museum, and the Roemer-Pelizaeus-Museum in Hildesheim.

paragraph: Giovanni Garzoni

paragraph: Giovanni Garzoni (1419–1506) was an Italian humanist and physician from Bologna, where he was professor of medicine and teacher of rhetoric.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Bologna in 1419 as the son of Bernardo Garzoni, a physician and rhetoric. Already in his youth, Garzoni's main interest was rhetorics, when he may have been instructed by his father Bernardo Garzoni and by Giovanni Lamola, and met humanists like Leonardo Bruni. When his father became one of the physicians of pope Nicholas V (between 1447 and 1455), Giovanni went along with him to Rome. The earliest extant texts by Barzoni date from this period, including a 300 folio long codex, mainly consisting of the emended "Tractatus" by Petrus Hispanus; and some poems and other minor works. Here as well, he met other humanists like Theodorus Gaza.

paragraph: He was a student of Guarino da Verona, with whom he studied Juvenal, and of Lorenzo Valla, who was his teacher for four years. In 1455, he worked for cardinal Domenico Capranica, for whom he travelled to Naples. Part of this work was done together with Jacopo Piccolomini-Ammannati, a fellow humanist and later cardinal. In or after 1458, he returned to Bologna, where he became a public speaker, providing orations for official events, something he would later on also do at the university. He also started working as a private teacher of rhetoric, having students from countries and regions like Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia. His most famous pupils were the historian Leandro Alberti, who stayed with Garzoni from when he was ten until he was fourteen, and Girolamo Savonarola, who was a student of Garzoni in 1476 and 1477, when he was a novice in Bologna.

paragraph: Later, he became friends with humanists like Antonio Urceo and Julius Pomponius Laetus.

paragraph: He received his degree in medicine in 1466, and remained a professor of medicine at the University of Bologna for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Section::::Bibliography.

paragraph: Garzoni wrote 36 lives of saints (or "vitae"), including those of Agatha, Blasius, Catherina Alex., Cecilia, Christina, Cosmas and Damian, Eustachius, Felix and Felix, George, Gervasius and Protasius, Hippolytus, the apostle Johannes, Laurentius, Lucia, Margarita, some Mauritanian martyrs, Nereus and Achilleus, Primus and Felicianus, Proculus, Sebastian, Vitus and Hippolytus, Simon of Trent, the martyr Peter, Petronius, Theodorus, Symphorianus, and Christopher.

paragraph: Some of his letters have been collected in ten books of "epistolae familiares".

paragraph: Other works that survive include histories (mainly Bolognese history), dialogues, treatises, medical texts, and a large number of funerary and other orations, on a wide range of subjects, from religion to military matters, including a pornographic story, "Heliogalbalus". Many of these are unpublished manuscripts, some published works include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "De eloquutione libellus", 1503

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ad clarissimum virum dominum Ioannem Blanchfeldum berliniensem prohemium in vitam divi Antonii abbatis", 1503

paragraph: BULLET::::- "De Rebus Saxoniae, Thuringiae, Libonotriae, Misnae, Et Lusatiae": 1518

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Chronica. Des Durchleuchtigen, Hochgebornen Fürsten vnd Herrn, Herrn Friderichen, Landgraffen in Düringen, Marggraffen zu Meychssen[et]c.": 1546 (reprinted 1584)

paragraph: BULLET::::- " Historiae Bononienses", reprinted in 2012 by Bononia University Press

paragraph: The "De miseria humana" by Jean Gerson is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Garzoni.

paragraph: Galdino della Sala

paragraph: Saint Galdino della Sala ( – 18 April 1176), Saint Galdinus or Saint Galdimus (), was a Roman Catholic saint from Milan in northern Italy. He was a cardinal elevated in 1165 and he also served as Archbishop of Milan from 1166 to his death in 1176. He was a staunch supporter both of Pope Alexander III, and of Milan and its neighbours in Lombardy, in their joint and parallel struggles against the Antipope Victor IV, supported by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa.

paragraph: He is remembered also for his charity in Milan to the poor and to those imprisoned for debt. Alexander III canonized him as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church, and he is a patron of both Lombardy and his old archdiocese.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Milan around 1096 into the della Sala family which was considered to be minor nobility of the city.

paragraph: He was a strong supporter of the Roman papacy in the schism that erupted in 1159 after the death of Pope Adrian IV. Pope Alexander III was the Roman candidate, while Antipope Victor IV was supported by Frederick Barbarossa and his cardinals. Galdino's Milanese church supported Alexander III, and Galdino, as archdeacon of the church, took a very public stand. Frederick came to besiege Milan and reduced it within six months.

paragraph: Galdino joined Alexander III in Genoa and followed him to Maguelonne, Montpellier, and Clermont. He later followed him to Sicily and Rome upon his return in 1165. When Alexander returned to the papacy in 1165, he named Galdino in the consistory of 15 December as the Cardinal Priest of the titular church of Santa Sabina, and a year later made him the Archbishop of Milan. The year after that, Alexander III made Galdino the apostolic legate for Lombardy.

paragraph: When the Lombard League expelled Barbarossa, Galdino took possession of his see and began deposing any Lombard priests who were faithful to Victor IV. He consecrated new bishops at Lodi, Alba, Cremona, Vercelli, Asti, Turin, Novara, Brescia, and Alessandria.

paragraph: On 18 April 1176 Galdino della Sala died in his pulpit, having just completed a sermon against the Cathars, who were seen by orthodox Catholics as ‘heretics’.

paragraph: Section::::Sainthood.

paragraph: Pope Alexander III canonized Galdino as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church during his pontificate.

paragraph: His liturgical feast day in the Roman Catholic Church, celebrated particularly in churches which follow the Ambrosian Rite, is 18 April (the anniversary of his death).

paragraph: Andrzej Maria Deskur (February 29, 1924 – September 3, 2011) was President emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications and a Cardinal of the Catholic Church.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Deskur was born in Sancygniów, near Kielce, Poland, the son of Stanisława (Kossecka) and Andrzej Deskur. He received a doctorate in law in 1945 from the Jagiellonian University (study underground). He was the secretary general of the Polish student organization "Bratniak". He entered the seminary in Kraków and was ordained a priest on 20 August 1950. He obtained a doctorate in theology from the University of Freiburg and, after two years of pastoral activity and study in France and Switzerland, in September 1952, he was called to Rome to work in the Secretariat of State. During this period he served as undersecretary of the Pontifical Commission for Cinematography, Radio and Television (1954–1964), secretary of the Preparatory Secretariat for the Press and Entertainment during Vatican II (1960–1962), peritus for the assembly of the Council (1962–1965) and was a member of the Conciliar Commissions for Bishops, for the Clergy, for the Laity, and for the Press and Entertainment.

paragraph: In 1973 he was named president of the Pontifical Commission (now Council) for Social Communications. He was appointed titular bishop of Tene on 17 June 1974 and received episcopal ordination the following June 30. On 15 February 1980, John Paul II named him Archbishop and president emeritus of the Pontifical Commission.

paragraph: Deskur was raised to the Cardinalate on May 25, 1985, becoming Cardinal-Deacon of "San Cesareo in Palatio," that had belonged to Pope John Paul II himself until his elevation to the Papacy. After ten years as a Cardinal-Deacon he exercised his right and his titular church was elevated and he became Cardinal-Priest. Cardinal Deskur lost the right to participate in the conclave when he turned 80 years old in 2004.

paragraph: Deskur contributed to numerous congresses and meetings for professionals of the press, radio, television and cinema, visiting about 70 countries on five continents. Among other endeavours, he was one of the promoters of the radio station "Radio Veritas" for countries in Asia and Oceania.

paragraph: The challenge of promoting Christianity in the field of social communications did not impede Cardinal Deskur from dedicating himself also to pastoral activity. During all his years in Rome he performed his priestly and episcopal ministry in numerous parishes. For many years he devoted himself to the office of spiritual director at the pre-seminary St. Pius V.

paragraph: He was President of the Pontifical Academy of the Immaculate Conception.
