paragraph: Raphaël Dubois

paragraph: Raphaël Horace Dubois (20 June 1849, Le Mans – 21 January 1929) was a French pharmacologist known for his work on bioluminescence and anesthesia. He coined the terms "proteon" and "bioproteon," from the Greek "Proteon" for matter and "Bios" for life; bioproteon means living matter. He concluded that there is no difference between the two.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Dantiscus was born in Danzig (Gdańsk), in the Kingdom of Poland. His family's name was "von Höfen", while "Flachsbinder" was an occupational name derived from his grandfather's ropemaking trade (literally "flax binder"). Johannes took on the nickname Dantiscus in order to show that he was a burgher of Danzig () where his father was a brewer and merchant.

paragraph: Johannes became a church canon, then Bishop of Chełmno and later of Bishop of Warmia. He also wrote many poems, mainly in Latin, for which he is regarded as one of the most outstanding poets. Among his many works is his autobiography "Vita Joannis de Curiis Dantisci" ("The Life of Johannes of the Danzig Church").

paragraph: In addition, he maintained an active correspondence with prominent persons and institutions throughout Europe as well as with relatives. Thousands of his letters dating from 1500–1548 are still in existence. Dantiscus wrote mainly in Latin and German, and sporadically received letters in Polish, or in other languages.

paragraph: Abe Cunningham

paragraph: Abraham Benjamin "Abe" Cunningham, (born July 27, 1973) is an American musician, best known as the drummer of the alternative metal band Deftones.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Abe Cunningham was born in Long Beach, California. When he was young, his family moved to Sacramento. He first started drumming in his early teens playing the drums for the band Phallucy in the early 90s. During this time, he also drummed for Deftones on the side, when the band was having problems landing a permanent and dedicated drummer. At the time when he started learning drums, he also learned how to play guitar, but growing up with a stepfather (Neil) who played the drums, he took a deeper passion with the drums. Abe's father, Sid, was also a musician and an early influence for Abe before his untimely passing. His influences include Stewart Copeland, Ginger Baker and Mitch Mitchell.

paragraph: Cunningham is known for his frantic, pounding rhythms on such songs as "Knife Prty" and clever usage of tempo ("Mein"), while at the same time refusing to indulge in the double bass drum setup of many metal traditionalists. However, he does use a double bass pedal as part of his kit, as seen in various drum magazines. A BBC reviewer has praised his style for displaying " the assured expressiveness of a musician whose abilities stretch further than most metal-scene sticksmen".

paragraph: Cunningham has been a long time endorser of Tama Drums and Zildjian Cymbals, and for most of his career, has played the same setup. He has been featured in various ads for Tama and Zildjian and most recently, has become an endorser of Pro-Mark drumsticks. He has his own signature model; the Abe Cunningham TX916W Autograph Model. As of 2016, he is now an endorser of Vater drumsticks. NAMM 2017 revealed his new signature sticks, the model is called Cool Breeze (which is Abe's nickname of sorts) and has the same specifications as the previous one.

paragraph: Abe lives in Sacramento, California with his family. He has two sons with his ex-wife, Annalynn Seal; Sidney & Daniel. Annalynn made a guest appearance on "MX" singing along with Chino Moreno.

paragraph: Avitus

paragraph: Marcus Maecilius Flavius Eparchius Avitus c. 380/395 – after 17 October 456 or in 457) was Western Roman Emperor from 8 or 9 July 455 to 17 October 456. He was a senator and a high-ranking officer both in the civil and military administration, as well as Bishop of Piacenza.

paragraph: A Gallo-Roman aristocrat, he opposed the reduction of the Western Roman Empire to Italy alone, both politically and from an administrative point of view. For this reason, as Emperor he introduced several Gallic senators in the Imperial administration; this policy, however, was opposed by the Senatorial aristocracy and by the people of Rome, who had suffered from the sack of the city by the Vandals in 455.

paragraph: Avitus had a good relationship with the Visigoths, in particular with their king Theodoric II, who was a friend of his and who acclaimed Avitus Emperor. The possibility of a strong and useful alliance between the Visigoths and Romans faded, however, when Theodoric invaded Hispania at Avitus' behest, which rendered him unable to help Avitus against the rebel Roman generals who deposed him.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Origins and early career.

paragraph: Avitus was born in Clermont to a family of the Gallo-Roman nobility. His father was possibly Flavius Julius Agricola, consul in 421. Avitus had two sons, Agricola (fl 455 – living 507, a "vir illustris") and Ecdicius Avitus (later "patricius" and "magister militum" under Emperor Julius Nepos) and a daughter Papianilla; she married Sidonius Apollinaris, whose letters and panegyrics remain an important source for Avitus' life and times.

paragraph: Avitus followed a course of study typical for a young man of his rank, including law. Before 421 he was sent to the powerful "patricius" Flavius Constantius (briefly Emperor in 421) to ask for a tax reduction for his own country; this embassy was successful. His relative Theodorus was hostage at the court of the King of Visigoths, Theodoric I. In 425/426 Avitus went and met him and the King, who let Avitus enter his own court. Here, around 439, Avitus met the son of Theodoric, Theodoric II, who later became King. Avitus inspired the young Theodoric to study Latin poets.

paragraph: He then started a military career serving under the "magister militum" Aetius in his campaign against the Juthungi and the Norics (430–431) and against the Burgundians (436). In 437, after being elevated to the rank of "vir illustris", he returned to Avernia, where he held a high office, probably "magister militum per Gallias". In the same year he defeated a group of Hunnic raiders near Clermont and obliged Theodoric to lift the siege of Narbonne. In 439 he became Praetorian prefect of Gaul and renewed the friendship treaty with the Visigoths.

paragraph: Before the summer of 440, he retired to private life at his estate, "Avitacum", near Clermont. Here he lived until 451 when the Huns, led by Attila, invaded the Western Roman Empire; Avitus persuaded Theodoric into an alliance with Rome, and the combined forces of Theodoric and Aetius defeated Attila in the Battle of Châlons; Theodoric died in the battle.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Rise to the throne.

paragraph: In the late spring of 455, Avitus was recalled to service by emperor Petronius Maximus and was elevated to the rank of "magister militum", probably "praesentalis"; Maximus sent Avitus in an embassy to the court of Theodoric II, who had succeeded to his father, at Toulouse. This embassy probably confirmed the new king and his people as "foederati" of the Empire and asked for their support for the new Emperor.

paragraph: While Avitus was at Theodoric's court, news came of the death of Petronius Maximus (31 May) and of the sack of Rome by the Vandals of Gaiseric. Theodoric acclaimed Avitus Emperor in Toulouse; on 9 July, the new Emperor was acclaimed by the Gallic chiefs gathered in "Viernum", near Arelate (Arles), and later, around 5 August, before Avitus reached Rome, he received the recognition of the Roman Senate.

paragraph: Avitus stayed in Gaul for three months, to consolidate his power in the region that was the center of his support, and later went to Italy with a Gallic army, probably reinforced with a Gothic force. He probably travelled to Noricum to restore the imperial authority in that province, and then passed through Ravenna, where he left a Gothic force under the new "patricius" and "magister militum" Remistus, a Visigoth. On 21 September, finally, he entered Rome.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Consolidation of power.

paragraph: The effective power of Avitus depended on the support of all the major players in the Western Roman Empire in the mid-5th century. The new Emperor needed the support of both the civil institutions, the Roman senate and the Eastern Roman Emperor Marcian, as well as that of the army and its commanders (the generals Majorian and Ricimer) and the Vandals of Gaiseric.

paragraph: On 1 January 456, Avitus took the consulate, as traditionally the Emperors held the consulate in the first year upon assuming the purple. However, his consulate "sine collega" (without a second Consul) was not recognised by the Eastern court, which nominated two consuls, Iohannes and Varanes. The fact that the two courts did not agree on a couple of consuls but each nominated its own means that despite the efforts of Avitus to receive the recognition of the Eastern Emperor, the relationship between the two halves of the Empire was not optimal.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Foreign policy.

paragraph: Treaties under Marcian and a treaty of 442 between emperor Valentinian III and the Vandal king Gaiseric had failed to reduce Vandal incursions and raids along the Italian coast. Avitus' own efforts secured a temporary winter truce with them; but in March 456, Vandals destroyed Capua. Avitus sent Ricimer to defend Sicily, and the Romans defeated the Vandals twice, once in a land battle near Agrigento and another in a naval battle off Corsica.

paragraph: During the reign of Avitus, the Visigoths expanded into Hispania, nominally under Roman authorisation but actually in their own interests. In 455 Avitus had sent an ambassador, "comes" Fronto, to the Suebi and then to Theodoric II to ask them to formally recognise Roman rule. When the Suebi invaded the Roman province of Hispania Tarraconensis, the Visigoths attacked and defeated them 5 October 456 at the Campus Paramus, twelve miles from Astorga, on the banks of the Órbigo (Urbicus), subsequently occupying the province as nominal "foederati" of the Empire.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Fall.

paragraph: In the meantime, resentment amongst the population of Italy against the foreigner Avitus grew. The Gallo-Roman Emperor had given to other members of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy many key offices of the public administration usually filled by Romans. Furthermore, the population of Rome, devastated by the sack of Rome, suffered from food shortages due to the Vandal control of the naval routes, aggravated by the requirements of the foreign troops that had arrived with Avitus. The imperial treasury was almost empty and, after disbanding his Visigoth guard because of popular pressure, Avitus was obliged to pay their huge wages by melting down and selling the bronze of some statues.

paragraph: Counting on the popular discontent, on the disbandment of the imperial guard, and on the prestige gained through their victories, Ricimer and the "comes domesticorum" Majorian rebelled against Avitus; the Emperor was obliged to leave Rome in early autumn and to move north. Ricimer had the Roman Senate depose Avitus and ordered the murder of the "magister militum" Remistus in the "Palatium" at Classe, ancient port of Ravenna, on 17 September 456.

paragraph: Avitus decided to react. First he chose Messianus, one of his collaborators in his embassy to the Visigoths ordered by Petronius Maximus, as the new "magister militum"; then he probably went to Gaul (Hydatius says to Arelate) to collect all the available forces, probably the Visigoth guard he had just disbanded; finally he led his forces against the troops of Ricimer, near Piacenza. The Emperor and his army entered the city and attacked the huge army led by Ricimer, but after a great massacre of his men, including Messianus, Avitus fled on 17 or 18 October 456. In the immediate aftermath Ricimer spared his life, but forced him to become Bishop of Piacenza.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death.

paragraph: Avitus' Gallic supporters may still have recognised him as emperor, despite his deposition. Sidonius Apollinaris tells of a failed "coup d'état" in Gaul organised by one Marcellus and probably aimed at bringing Avitus back on the throne. The contemporary historian Hydatius, who lived in Spain, considered the year 457 the third of Avitus' reign; Avitus' own intentions are not known, nor are the manner and date of his death, of which there are several versions. In some, he was told that the Roman Senate had condemned him to death, and so he tried to flee to Gaul, officially travelling there to bring donations to the basilica of Saint Julian in Avernia, his homeland; according to Gregory of Tours, he died during this journey. Other sources have him strangled or starved to death, by order of his successor. Avitus died in 457, or late in 456, very soon after his deposition, and was buried at Brioude, next to Saint Julian's tomb.

The gifted youngster was named to the league's second all-star team in 1993 and 1994. In 1993–94 his 3.06 goals against average was the best in the QMJHL.

paragraph: DeRouville played most of his first two pro seasons with the IHL's Cleveland Lumberjacks but was recalled to make the odd appearance between the pipes for the Pens. In 1996–97, the emergence of rookie Patrick Lalime kept him from moving up to Pittsburgh. Eventually young goalie Jean-Sébastien Aubin and Peter Skudra supplanted DeRouville on the club's depth chart. Over his last two years he played in the ECHL, IHL, AHL and CHL before moving to Europe. He played in Britain for the Ayr Scottish Eagles, Sweden for Timrå IK, France for Briançon and Italy for Brunico SG

paragraph: Saint Arsatius or Arsacius is a saint of whose life virtually nothing is known. He is said to have been a bishop of Milan, who lived either around 400 or in the 6th century, and possibly a martyr, but there is no evidence. Because of the traditional connection with Milan, he is further supposed to have been a disciple of Saint Ambrose, who was also Bishop of Milan, but there is no evidence of this either.

paragraph: His relics were brought in 766 from Rome to Ilmmünster Monastery where a cultus grew up around them and where the well-known "Arsatius-Basilika" is still dedicated to him. They were moved to Munich in 1495, but returned to Ilmmünster in 1846. His feast day is 12 November.

paragraph: Joseph Manton

paragraph: Joseph Manton (6 April 1766 – 29 June 1835) was a British gunsmith who innovated sport shooting, improved weapon quality and paved the way for the modern artillery shell. Manton was a sport shooter in his own right and a friend of Colonel Peter Hawker.

paragraph: Section::::Gunsmith.

paragraph: From 1780-1781, Manton was first apprenticed to a gunmaker in Grantham, Newton. He worked under his elder brother John from 1781 onward. He produced around 100 weapons annually, including both cased duelling pistols and shotguns.

paragraph: Section::::Tube lock.

paragraph: In the early-19th century, Manton invented the tube (or pill) lock, an improvement over Alexander Forsyth's scent-bottle lock. Rather than storing a reserve of fulminate in a container, they now used single-use pellets or pills. The hammer of the gun was sharpened; when it fell, it crushed the tube/pellet, causing the fulminates to detonate.

paragraph: Although more reliable than Forsyth's design and adopted by many sportsmen during the Regency period (and a variant for the Austrian army), it was quickly overshadowed by the percussion cap, which was adopted by the armies of Britain, France, Russia, and America to replace the flintlock.

paragraph: Section::::Artillery.

paragraph: The greater part of Manton's career was spent at loggerheads with the British Army. Manton managed to interest the army in purchasing a larger version of his wooden cup design to be used in rifled artillery. Manton worked tirelessly to improve cannon's firing accuracy. He created a new type of ammunition. First, the ammunition was loaded in a rifled cannon. Secondly, the cannonball was attached to the wooden cup that fitted into the rifled grooves of the cannon, which was in turn connected to a sack of gunpowder, thus eliminating the need for powder and shot to be loaded separately. The idea of fixing the powder behind the shot in a disposable cartridge is the basis for modern bullet design. It helped pave the way for breech-loading weaponry.

paragraph: Section::::Artillery.:Lost sale.

paragraph: The army provided Manton a cannon and funding, and in return expected a greatly improved weapon. Manton's design was superior, although an argument over payment caused the army to declare it of little benefit. A row erupted over how Manton was to be paid; he believed the agreement was to be a £30,000 lump sum. The army argued that since they had already invested money (sunk costs) into research and development, they did not want to pay such a huge amount of money for a design that had not been field tested. Manton patented his design, forcing the Army to deal. The army offered him one farthing for each shell they produced, but Manton refused this offer. Surprisingly for Manton, the army stood its ground. Manton was frightened that he had spent time and money (including some of his own) developing a weapon that the army would not use. The Army rejected his offer, whereby the army could make the shells without paying royalties, while Manton would make the wooden cups. His design was more reliable than Forsyth's design and adopted by many sportsmen during the Regency period (and by the Austrian army).

paragraph: After more than a decade of unsuccessful legal battles, Manton lost his vast fortunes and was declared bankrupt in 1826. His Oxford Street workshop was seized and his stock of guns bought by Joseph Lang, an aspiring gun dealer whose company would eventually become part of Atkin, Grant and Lang. Lang is credited with opening one of the first shooting schools in the premises adjoining the Royal Theatre Haymarket.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Manton's weapons remain some of the most highly sought-after designs of the flintlock age and can fetch more at auction than Holland & Holland's shotguns. His workforce included James Purdey (who went on to found Purdey's), Thomas Boss, William Greener, Charles Lancaster and William Moore. These five established major gun firms.

paragraph: Wolfgang Smith

paragraph: Wolfgang Smith (born 1930) is a mathematician, physicist, philosopher of science, metaphysician, Roman Catholic and member of the Traditionalist School. He has written extensively in the field of differential geometry, as a critic of scientism and as a proponent of a new interpretation of quantum mechanics that draws heavily from medieval ontology and realism. A documentary film about his life and thought is currently in development.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Smith graduated in 1948 from Cornell University with a B.A. in Philosophy, Physics and Mathematics. Two years later he obtained his M.S. in Physics from Purdue University and, some time later, a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Columbia University.

paragraph: He worked as a physicist in Bell Aircraft corporation, researching aerodynamics and the problem of atmospheric reentry. He was a mathematics professor at MIT, UCLA and Oregon State University, doing research in the field of differential geometry and publishing in academic journals such as the "Transactions of the American Mathematical Society", the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", the "American Journal of Mathematics", and others. He retired from academic life in 1992.

paragraph: In parallel with his academic duties, he developed and still develops philosophical inquiries in the fields of metaphysics and the philosophy of science, publishing in specialized journals such as "The Thomist" and "Sophia: The Journal of Traditional Studies".

paragraph: Section::::Philosophy.

paragraph: Smith is a member of the Traditionalist School of metaphysics, having contributed extensively to its criticism of modernity while exploring the philosophical underpinnings of the scientific method and emphasizing the idea of bringing science back into the Aristotelian framework of traditional ontological realism.

paragraph: Identifying with Alfred North Whitehead's critique of the "bifurcationism" and "physical reductionism" of scientism — i.e., the belief that, first, the qualitative properties of the objects of perception ("corporeal" objects) are ultimately distinct from their respective quantitative properties (the "physical" objects studied by the various sciences); and second, that physical objects are in fact all there is, meaning corporeal objects are reduced to their physical counterparts — Smith examines critically in his work "Cosmos and Transcendence" (1984) the Cartesian roots of modern science.

paragraph: Proceeding with his critique of scientism in his monograph, "The Quantum Enigma" (1995), Smith raises the questions of whether the scientific method is in fact dependent on the scientistic philosophy and, if it is not, whether linking it to other philosophical frameworks would provide better solutions to the way physical phenomena are interpreted. Demonstrating that neither the scientific method nor its results require adhering to a scientistic metaphysics, he answers in the negative to the first question, resulting in the conclusion that it is possible to link the scientific method to any underlying ontology, or to none at all. Working then into the second question, he proposes linking the scientific method — and thus the modern sciences — to a non-bifurcationist, non-reductionist metaphysics in the form of a modified Thomistic ontology, showing how such a move resolves the apparent incoherences of quantum mechanics.

paragraph: According to Smith, this interpretation of quantum mechanics allows for the usage of the hylomorphic concepts of potency and act to properly understand quantum superposition. For example, instead of considering that a photon is "simultaneously a wave and a particle" or "a particle in two distinct positions," one may consider that the photon (or any other physical object) at first does not exist "in act", but only "in potency"; i.e., as "matter" in the hylomorphic meaning of the term, having the "potential" of becoming "a wave or a particle," or "of being here or there." Whether one of these outcomes will happen to this undifferentiated matter is dependent on the determination imposed upon it by the macroscopic corporeal object that provides its "actualization". A photon, thus, would be no more strange for having many potentials than, say, an individual who has the "superposed" potentials of learning French and/or Spanish and/or Greek, all the while reading and/or walking and/or stretching his arms. A further consequence of this interpretation is that a corporeal object and its "associated physical object" are not dichotomized or reduced one to the other anymore but, on the contrary, altogether constitute a whole of which different aspects are dealt with depending upon perspective.

paragraph: Smith's understanding of the relationship between corporeal and physical objects extends to his interpretation of biology, where he has become an opponent of Darwinian evolution, as the fundamental element in a species would be its form, not its causal history, which evolutionists favor. This leads him to be a supporter of the intelligent design movement, though his own hylomorphic approach is not widely adopted by mainstream intelligent design theorists (who, like evolutionists, also favor causal history, albeit differently).

paragraph: Smith has also taken a stance towards a relativistic rehabilitation of geocentrism. He does not support a Ptolemaic or medieval geocentrism unequivocally, nor assert that heliocentrism is absolutely false. Rather, he argues that, according to the theory of relativity, both heliocentrism and geocentrism have scientific merit, insofar as scientific observation depends upon the reference frame of the observer. Consequently, any observations made from Earth (or any near-Earth satellites) are in effect geocentric.

paragraph: Aredius

paragraph: Saint Aredius (c. 510–591), also known as Yrieix, was Abbot of Limoges and chancellor to Theudebert II, King of Austrasia in the 6th century. He founded the monastery of Attanum, and the various French communes called St. Yrieix are named after him.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Aredius was from a prominent Gallo-Roman family of Limoges. He was the son of a noble landowner, Jucundus, and his wife, Pelagia of Limoges. As a young boy he received his education from the abbot Sebastian of the monastery at Vigeois. As a young man, he was sent to the court of the Frankish king Theodebert I of Austrasia (534-48) at Trier. By 540 was appointed chancellor.

paragraph: Nicetius bishop of Trier persuaded Aredius to leave the dissolute life at court. According to Gregory of Tours, one day, while the clerics sang psalms in the church, a dazzling white dove, after flying around Aredius, landed on his head, as if to show that he was already filled with the Holy Spirit. As he was a little shy, he waved it away, and it flittered a little before landing on its shoulder, and followed him all the way to the bishop's house.

paragraph: Upon the death of his father, Aredius returned to the Limousin to care for his mother. Entrusting to her the management of his estates, he lived for a time as a hermit in a cave. He used his inheritance to found in the 564/572 monastery of Atane (Attane) on land from his villa Attanum on the rivers Loue and Couchou in Limousin (Haute-Vienne). He became an abbot in the monastery, and the first monks were members of his own household. Gregory of Tours says that the house followed the rule of Cassian and later incorporated some aspects of the rule of St. Basil. Later, other monks joined them. This later became the site of the city of Saint Yrieix.

paragraph: Aredius divided his time between agricultural labor and study. He was known for his evangelical journeys throughout Gaul. He founded monasteries in Vigeois and Excideuil in Périgord and went on pilgrimages, always on foot. Every year he made a pilgrimage to Tours to celebrate the feast of St. Martin. He would also travel annually to the Holy Cross Abbey in Poitiers to visit Queen Radegund. He supported the cult of Saint Medard of Soissons and probably built the church in his honor at Excideuil. Aredius built several churches in honor of saints whose relics he had collected.

paragraph: Miracle stories began to be associated with him. People in the area believed him to have the gift of healing. Gregory says they crowded to Aredius "like bees to a hive". On more than one occasion, he intervened with the Merovingian princes on behalf of the people regarding oppressive taxes.

paragraph: He was a friend of Gregory of Tours, and bequeathed some of his wealth to the church at Tours.

paragraph: The town of Saint-Yrieix-La-Perche has requested that the Metropolitan Museum of art in New York return a reliquary of St. Aredius, which the town maintains was illegally purchased in 1906.

paragraph: Ludwig Andreas Olsen

paragraph: Ludwig Andreas Olsen (1845 – February 20, 1886), also known as Louis Williams, was a United States Navy sailor and one of only 19 people to ever be awarded two Medals of Honor. Both awards were for non-combat actions rescuing fellow seamen.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Olsen was born in Oslo, Norway, in 1845. He joined the Navy from California in 1870, under the name Louis Williams. He eventually achieved the rank of Captain of the Hold, an enlisted position that placed him in charge of keeping order in the ship's hold.

paragraph: On 16 March 1883, aboard the screw sloop-of-war off Honolulu, Hawaii, Olsen jumped overboard and saved a fellow sailor from drowning. The next year, on 13 June 1884 off the coast of Callao, Peru, Olsen again saved a man from drowning, along with Ordinary Seaman Isaac L. Fasseur. For each of these peace-time actions he was awarded a Medal of Honor; Fasseuer also received the medal for the 1884 rescue. Both medals were presented to Olsen on 18 October 1884, making him one of only 19 people to receive two Medals of Honor and one of only 14 people to receive two Medals of Honor for two separate acts.

paragraph: Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet

paragraph: Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet (November 4, 1720 – May 6, 1778) was a French pharmacist, botanist and one of the earliest botanical explorers in South America. He was one of the first botanists to study ethnobotany in the Neotropics.

paragraph: Born in Salon-de-Provence, Aublet left home early and traveled to Grenada, then a French colony, where he became an apothecary's assistant and learned about medicinal plants. A year later he returned to France and continued his studies in natural history, chemistry, and pharmacology. One of his mentors was Bernard de Jussieu, a French naturalist who would later help him with plant identification.

paragraph: He joined the French East India Company and in 1752 was sent to Mauritius (then known as "l'Île de France") to establish a pharmacy and a botanical garden. He became involved in an intense rivalry with Pierre Poivre, a fellow botanist at the Mon Plaisir garden, and eventually left to establish a new garden at Le Réduit.

paragraph: When Aublet returned to France in 1762, he was appointed to a position as the King's apothecary and botanist in French Guiana. He arrived at the colonial capital, Isle de Cayenne, in August 1762 and spent the next two years collecting plants and assembling a vast herbarium. Aublet also worked with the local people to record the traditional uses of the native plants. His outspoken opposition to slavery was unusual for someone in his position and earned him the resentment of the local colonists who complained about his "corrupt" nature. When poor health forced his return to France in 1764, he felt obliged to obtain a letter from the Procurator General, testifying to his good and honorable conduct.

paragraph: After a brief stay in Haiti, Aublet continued on to Paris, arriving in 1765. With the help of Jussieu, his former mentor, he wrote descriptions of the plants he collected and prepared some 400 illustrations. In 1775 he published "Histoire des plantes de la Guiane Françoise" describing 576 genera and 1,241 species of neotropical plants, including more than 400 species that were new to science. At a time when only 20,000 plants had been described, this represented a significant addition to botanical knowledge. Aublet also included essays on economically important plants and wrote about the people of the colony; he is considered by some to be the "founding father" of ethnobotany in the Neotropics.

paragraph: When Aublet died at Paris in 1778, he left part of his plant collection to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, though the latter possessed it for only two months before he too died. It was eventually acquired by the "Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle" in 1953. Aublet’s herbarium, drawings, and notes were purchased by Joseph Banks and are now archived at the British Museum of Natural History.

The emperor established a formal check point barrier, "Ausaka no seki", at this summit in 646. Today the place is known as Osaka. A Shinto shrine was built there by the tenth century and eventually became known as Semimaru "jinja".

paragraph: Nami Nandi Adigal

paragraph: Nami Nandi Adigal, also spelt as Naminandi adigal, Naminandi adikal and Naminanti Atikal, and also known as Naminandi and Naminandhi, is a Nayanar saint, venerated in the Hindu sect of Shaivism. He is generally counted as the 27th in the list of 63 Nayanars.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The life of Nami Nandi Adigal is described in the Tamil "Periya Puranam" by Sekkizhar (12th century), which is a hagiography of the 63 Nayanars.

paragraph: Nami Nandi Adigal was born in the town of Emapperur, near Thiruvarur, which was then part of the Chola kingdom. Emapperur is now located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. He was a devotee of the god Shiva, the patron god of Shaivism. He was a Brahmin, member of the priest caste. Daily, He used to journey to the shrine of Araneri, dedicated to Shiva, in Thiruvarur. This temple is identified as the Sri Achaleswarar (Vandarkuzhali) temple, which is located in the Thyagaraja Temple complex.

paragraph: Once, when Nami Nandi Adigal reached the Araneri shrine, it was close to evening. He wished to light lamps in the Shiva temple. He went to nearby house and asked for ghee for the lamps. This house happened to be of a Jain. The residents mocked Nami Nandi Adigal saying that why did he want to light lamps for Shiva, who carries fire in his hand. They informed him that they did not have ghee and taunted him that if he was desperate, there was enough water in the temple ponds to light all the lamps. In sorrow, Nami Nandi Adigal returned to the temple and implored God to help him. A heavenly voice instructed him to bring water from the temple tank and pour it in the lamps. He lit the lamps, which burnt brightly till dawn. He returned home in the evening to worship Shiva in his home shrine. The saint would journey from Emapperur to the Araneri shrine everyday, worship in the temple and return to his home-town after lighting the lamps with water in the evening. The Jains saw the miracle in disbelief. While some left Thiruvarur, others embraced Shaivism. The Chola king heard about Nami Nandi Adigal's devotion and appointed him as the head priest of the temple. He also aimed the temple in its celebrations of festivals. The tale of the lamp miracle is also recalled in the 13th-century Telugu "Basava Purana" of Palkuriki Somanatha with some variation.

paragraph: Another incident in the life of Nami Nandi Adigal is recorded in the "Periya Puranam". In celebration of the festival of Panguni Uttaram, an effigy of Shiva was paraded to the neighbouring village of Tirumanali. People of all castes participated in the procession. Nami Nandi Adigal returned home and did not worship in his home shrine as he had become ritually impure by intermingling with the people of other castes. He ordered his wife to fetch him some water for a ritual bath and waited outside the house. The fatigued priest succumbed to sleep. Shiva appeared in his dream and chastised his beahviour. He reminded Nami Nandi Adigal that all born in Thiruvarur were Shiva-"gana"s (attendants of Shiva) and their touch could not have defiled his ritual purity. Nami Nandi Adigal woke up from sleep. He regretted his actions and performed the domestic rites, after informing his wife of the vision by Shiva. He went to Thiruvarur the next day as per his daily schedule. As he entered Thiruvarur, he saw all the people in the guise of Shiva. Petrified by the sight, he prostrated before them. As he stood up, the people then appeared to him in their normal forms. Nami Nandi Adigal lived his life serving Shiva and his devotees. He attained Kailash, Shiva's abode, after death.

paragraph: Section::::Remembrance.

paragraph: The Airavatesvara Temple, Darasuram (c. 1150) has a relief dedicating the tale of Nami Nandi Adigal, lighting the lamps with water. One of the most prominent Nayanars, Appar Tirunavukkarasar (7th century) also recalls the lamp miracle of Nami Nandi Adigal, called Nambi Nami in the verse. He further praises Nami Nandi Adigal as "pure gold".

paragraph: Nami Nandi Adigal receives collective worship as part of the 63 Nayanars. Their icons and brief accounts of his deeds are found in many Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu. Their images are taken out in procession in festivals. Nami Nandi Adigal is depicted with folded hands (see Anjali mudra).

paragraph: Aznar Sánchez of Gascony

paragraph: Aznar (or Asnar) Sánchez (, , Gascon: "Aznar Sans") (died 836) was the Duke of Gascony from 820. He was the supposed son of Sancho I of Gascony, though he has been identified with Aznar Galíndez I, Count of Aragon.

paragraph: In 820, Lupo III Centule rose in rebellion against Carolingian authority and Berengar of Toulouse and Guerin of Provence marched against him, defeated him, and installed Aznar, a count of local provenance, in his place. However, both Aragon and Navarre remained outside Carolingian control and western Gascony continued in revolt.

paragraph: In 824, according to the "Vita Hludowici", the counts Aznar and Aeblus ("Eblus atque Asenarius committees") led an army against rebellious Pamplona. According to the "Annales regni Francorum" of Einhard, they ("Aeblus et Asinarius comites") brought a great deal of wealth with them. They were defeated in a "second Roncesvalles" and Pamplona gained its independence while the two counts were captured. Aznar, however, being a relative ("consanguineus") of his captors, according to Astronomus, was released.

paragraph: Aznar fell out with Berengar's successor in the March of Gothia, Bernard of Septimania. In 828, Gascony revolted again. In 836, Aznar was killed (a horrible death) putting down a revolt in Gascony, which had been in tumult since his absence of 824, and was replaced by his brother Sancho, despite the objections of King Pepin.

paragraph: Giovanni Antonio Sogliani

paragraph: Giovanni Antonio Sogliani (1492–1544) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance, active mainly in Florence.

paragraph: Giorgio Vasari in his "Vite", the main source of Sogliani's biography, claimed that the painter had apprenticed with Lorenzo di Credi for two decades. While impossible, the legend rings true because of the persistence an archaic style in Sogliani's paintings. He was the executor of Lorenzo's will in 1531. He painted a "Martyrdom of St Acasio" for the Church of San Lorenzo in Florence. Vasari claims that Sogliani was influenced by Fra Bartolomeo in this painting. He painted a "St Martin" for the Orsanmichele. He painted an altarpiece of "St Brigitta" now in the Museo di San Marco. He also painted a number of works for the Cathedral of Pisa, a commission that had previously been requested from Perino del Vaga. This included three canvases for the "Sacrifice of Abel", "Sacrifice of Cain", and "Sacrifice of Noah" completed by 15 May 1533. On 23 March 1536, he was commissioned an altarpiece of the "Virgin with child and Saints".

paragraph: He painted an "Allegory of the Immaculate Conception" now in the Accademia di Belli Arti in Florence. Among his pupils are Sigismondo Foschi and Zanobi di Poggino.
