paragraph: Giovanni Ciampini

paragraph: Giovanni Giustino Ciampini (born Rome, 1633; died there 1698) was an ecclesiastical archaeologist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He graduated from the University of Rome as a student of law but soon devoted himself to archaeological interests, which an important office (Magister brevium gratiæ) in the Apostolic Chancery permitted him to pursue. He devoted himself to the collection of books, coins, and statues, and to the creation of scientific circles for the development of antiquarian learning; thus he founded, in 1671, a society for ecclesiastical history and, in 1679, an academy of the sciences, the latter under the patronage of his friend, Queen Christina of Sweden.

paragraph: He continued the school of archaeological research begun by Onofrio Panvinio and Antonio Bosio, and carried on a smaller scale by Fabretti, Boldetti, and Bottari, and later Padre Alarchi and Giovanni Battista de Rossi. Apart from some minor archaeological studies (1693), he has left two illustrated works:

paragraph: BULLET::::- ""De sacris aedificiis a Constantino magno constructis"", published in 1693 in Rome, is a history of the ancient churches East and West built by Emperor Constantine the Great

paragraph: BULLET::::- ""Vetera monimenta in quibus praecipua . . . musiva opera . . . illustrantur"", published in two volumes in 1690–99 in Rome, is a history of the art of mosaics

paragraph: Both works contain good illustrations of many ancient Christian edifices and mosaics that have since perished or suffered change and deterioration. Many of his drawings were copies or based on previous works, such as by Giacomo Grimaldi. His works were edited (Rome, 1747) in three volumes by Carlo Giannini.

paragraph: Sir George Chudleigh, 1st Baronet

paragraph: Sir George Chudleigh, 1st Baronet (c. 1578 – 15 January 1658), of Ashton, Devon, was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1601 and 1625. He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War after opposing the king initially.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Chudleigh was the son of John Chudleigh (1565–1589), of Ashton in Devon, who, according to the Devon historian Sir William Pole (d. 1635), ""Hassarded all his great estate unto ruyn"" and sold the family's original manor of Chudleigh, in Devon, to his tenants. His mother was Elizabeth Speke, daughter of Sir George Speke (c.1530-1584) of Whitelackington in Somerset, Sheriff of Somerset in 1562–63 and Member of Parliament for Somerset 1572-83. The "de Chudleigh" family originated at the manor of Chudleigh, in Devon, and later moved to nearby Ashton.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He succeeded his father when he was eleven years old. He matriculated at New College, Oxford on 26 November 1596, aged 18. In 1601 he was elected Member of Parliament for St. Michaels. He was elected MP for East Looe in 1614 and for Lostwithiel in 1621. He was created baronet of Ashton on 1 August 1622. In 1624 he was elected MP for Tiverton. He was elected MP for Lostwithiel again in 1625.

paragraph: Chudleigh opposed the King at the start of the Civil War and built Chudleigh Fort in Bideford for the Parliamentarians; but later, with his son, took up arms for the King and published, in 1643, a declaration of his reasons for doing so. He is said "to have paid dear" for his loyalty.

paragraph: In May 1643, the Earl of Stamford, who had just entered Cornwall with an army of seven thousand men, sent a party of twelve hundred horse, under the command of Chudleigh, to Bodmin, in order to surprise the high sheriff and gentlemen of the county.

paragraph: When Chudleigh heard of the defeat of the parliamentarian army, commanded by his son Major-general James Chudleigh, at Stratton Hill, he removed from Bodmin to Plymouth, and thence to Exeter. After Stamford had accused James Chudleigh of treachery, Sir George surrendered his commission, and published a 'Declaration' which is reprinted in Rushworth's "Historical Collections," vol. ii. pt. iii. p. 272. Subsequently he espoused the cause of the king.

paragraph: Chudleigh died in 1658 and was buried in Ashton church.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage & progeny.

paragraph: In or before 1606 he married Mary Strode, eldest daughter of Sir William Strode (d. 1637), MP, of Newnham, Plympton St Mary, Devon, by whom he had 9 sons and 9 daughters, including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- John Chudleigh (1606–1634), eldest son, MP for East Looe 1626, who predeceased his father.

paragraph: Ryota Kuwakubo (born 1971) is a Japanese multimedia artist. Kuwakubo was born in Tochigi Prefecture. In 1998 he co-produced the project BITMAN with the art unit Maywa Denki. Kuwakubo works with varying mediums, most commonly utilizing digital or electronic aspects, and a typical theme his works center on is contrasting matter.

paragraph: In 2010 Kuwakubo exhibited at Cyber Arts Japan, a special media art exhibition hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.

paragraph: A 2011 interactive art piece of his, The Tenth Sentiment, was displayed at the "Ways of Worldmaking" exhibit at the National Museum of Art, Osaka. In The Tenth Sentiment the viewers walk around a room as a model train with an LED light maneuvers along a set of tracks, focusing a light at commonplace objects on the ground which subsequently cast large shadows on the walls of the room. These shadows change from crowds of people, to cityscapes, to tunnels as the piece continues. The Tenth Sentiment was awarded a prize of excellence at the 14th Japan Media Arts Festival which described it as an "attractive work" which avoids the "cliché interactive art works that tend to depend too much on technology", and described by art critic for The Japan Times, Matthew Larking, as "arguably the most attractive work" of the exhibit.

paragraph: Patrick James Smyth

paragraph: Patrick James Smyth (Irish name O'Gowan or Mac Gabhainn; 1826 – 12 January 1885), also known as Nicaragua Smyth, was an Irish politician and journalist. He was M.P. for Westmeath from 1871–80 and for Tipperary from 1880 until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Smyth was born in Dublin in either 1823 or 1826, the son of James Smyth, of County Cavan, by Anne, daughter of Maurice Bruton of Portane, County Meath. His father was a tanner in Dublin, and Smyth inherited considerable property. Smyth was educated at Clongowes Wood College where he became friends with Thomas Francis Meagher, with whom he joined the Repeal Association in 1844. Following his involvement in the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848, Smyth fled to America where he worked as a journalist and became involved in the "New York Irish Directory". There he was persuaded to go to Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) in 1853 to facilitate the escape to America of John Mitchel, the Irish activist. Whilst there, he married a local girl Jeannie Regan. Smyth was nicknamed Nicaragua by Mitchel on account of the former's support for railway projects in that country.

paragraph: On his return to Ireland, Smyth was elected a Home Rule Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Westmeath at a by-election on 17 June 1871, and was reelected in 1874. At the 1880 general election, he did not seek re-election in Westmeath, but stood instead in Tipperary, where he was elected unopposed. He left the House of Commons at the end of 1884, when he was appointed as Secretary to the Irish Loan Fund Board.

paragraph: In 1871, Smyth was made chevalier of the Légion d'honneur.

paragraph: Decuman

paragraph: Decuman (; ; died ) was one of the Celtic saints who came to Somerset from South Wales, Pembrokeshire, in the seventh century, arriving on a raft (or his cloak) with a cow for a companion. There he was a pastor and physician to the local inhabitants.

paragraph: Section::::Life and cult.

paragraph: Decuman is said to have been born of noble parents at Rhoscrowther in Pembrokeshire, Wales where the church is dedicated to him. His name comes from the Latin for a farmer of tithes, which is a smallholder who paid a rent for his farm.

paragraph: He had a chapel at nearby Pwllcrochan. Wishing to escape from worldly companions he crossed the Bristol Channel and landed at Dunster: he then became a hermit at nearby Watchet, living from the produce of his cow. There he healed the sick and acted as a pastor to the inhabitants.

paragraph: There he is said to have been killed by a pagan. Legend tells that the holy man's head was cut off by "a certain man more venomous than an asp, more poisonous than the adder..." Beheading is a legend which is found associated with several Celtic saints, but in this variant, the saint miraculously picks up his head, washes it, and replaces it. After this the local people assisted Decuman to build the church ("Legends and Folklore of Watchet" — Ben Norman).

paragraph: Decuman's Holy Well is located down the lane from the church at Watchet, in Somerset.

paragraph: Decuman is said to have died in AD 706, when Somerset west of the Parrett, including Watchet, was still under Celtic rule. His feast day was celebrated at Somerset on 27 February. The saint is associated with several other places in south Wales and also with Degibma, on Loe Pool, near Helston in Cornwall, where there was a chapel dedicated to him.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.:Ancient parish.

paragraph: St Decuman was a parish in the hundred of Williton and Freemanners. This parish included Watchet, Williton and many hamlets. It was divided into the civil parishes of Watchet and Williton in 1902.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.:Wexford.

paragraph: St. Decuman was under the names of St. Degumen or St. Tenen also venerated in County Wexford with three churches in the townlands Ballyconnick, Killag, and Killiane Little dedicated to him. All of them are now in ruins.

paragraph: Andrew Walker (footballer)

paragraph: Andrew Walker (born 18 May 1986) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played with the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Andrew has Indigenous Australian heritage and his tribal ancestry can be traced to the Yorta Yorta.

paragraph: He played his early career in country football and represented Bendigo in the TAC Cup before catching the eye of talent scouts.

paragraph: He was educated at St Joseph's College Echuca and Caulfield Grammar School and graduated in 2004.

paragraph: Section::::AFL career.

paragraph: Walker was taken with Carlton's priority draft pick, the second pick overall, in the 2003 National Draft. Walker was Carlton's only high draft pick in either 2002 or 2003, as the club was stripped of its early selections in those drafts due to salary cap breaches. He was given Carlton champion Stephen Silvagni's guernsey number 1 after its two-year retirement. Andrew was a bottom-aged player in the 2003 Draft, and studied Year 12 – Victorian Certificate of Education – during his debut year, at Caulfield Grammar School.

paragraph: Walker made his debut in round 5, 2004 in Carlton's win over West Coast at Optus Oval, a performance that was considered one of the greatest debuts ever by a young player. In that game, he amassed 26 disposals, assisted three goals, and flew for what may well have been Mark of the Year had he held on to the ball. Walker earned a Rising Star Award nomination, and one Brownlow Medal vote, his career first, for that performance.

paragraph: For the rest of 2004 and 2005, Andrew struggled to reproduce the stunning form he displayed on debut, and it wasn't until 2006 that he started to play consistent football for the Carlton senior side. In 2006, Andrew had a number of very successful games as a tagger (often tagging the opposition's premier midfielder), and also provided much run off half back. Andrew's good 2006 was acknowledged by the club with a top 10 placing in the club's Best and Fairest Award.

paragraph: In 2007 Walker continued to develop as a footballer, and moved into Carlton's midfield where he uses his pace and ball carrying ability. In mid-2007, he signed a deal tying him to the club until 2009.

paragraph: Walker's 2008 and 2009 seasons were severely limited by a shoulder injury. He initially injured the shoulder in 2008 pre-season training; he recuperated without surgery to play in Carlton's pre-season games, but injured it again in the Blues' final practice match, requiring a reconstruction which prevented him from playing until round 16. He injured it again at the start of 2009, requiring another operation and preventing him from playing until round 18. Walker managed only thirteen matches for the two seasons.

paragraph: He was one of a number of Carlton players involved in off-field incidents following a 2009 Christmas party/ According to sources one of the players was arguing with a woman before a fight broke out between the teammates that ended up involving hotel staff. A security guard also became involved before police arrived as the fight was brought under control. Walker was escorted off the Crown Melbourne premises. He was then fined and suspended from pre-season training for a month. They were sent to a boxing gym and underwent a strenuous training program.

paragraph: After finally returning to regular game-time in 2010, Walker was struggling to hold his place in the team as a midfielder/utility on form. Carlton sought interest from other clubs during the 2010 trade week, but ultimately no trade was negotiated and he remained at Carlton.

paragraph: In 2011, he re-established himself as a key member of Carlton's senior team, in a new position as a key forward. He played all 24 games for the season, and kicked 56 goals to be the club's leading goalkicker, and finished sixth in the best and fairest. Additionally, in round 18 against Essendon, Walker took a huge specky over Essendon player Jake Carlisle, which was considered by many football observers, including "The Age"'s Rohan Connolly, and both match-day coaches, Brett Ratten and James Hird, to be one of the greatest marks of all-time – although ultimately it did not win the season's Mark of the Year award. He was awarded life membership of the Carlton Football Club in December 2011.

paragraph: In June 2014, Walker suffered a knee injury which ruled him out for the remainder of the season and dogged him for the rest of his career. Despite this, in July 2016 he became the first Aboriginal footballer to play 200 games for Carlton, reaching the milestone in their round 15 loss to . In the following months he continued to struggle with injury, and in August announced his intention to retire after the round 20 match against at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

paragraph: Robert Fick

paragraph: Robert Charles Fick (born March 15, 1974) is a former Major League Baseball first baseman. In 2002, he was named to the American League All-Star Team.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: The left-handed batter, who throws right-handed, attended Ventura College and later transferred to California State University at Northridge. He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 5th round of the 1996 amateur draft.

paragraph: Fick made his major league debut with the Tigers in 1998. Fick made the last hit in the history of Tiger Stadium, a grand slam home run against the Kansas City Royals in September 1999. On September 27, 1999, Fick pounded the final hit of the final game at Detroit's Tiger Stadium, a rooftop grand slam, which was the stadium's 11,111th home run and the stadium's final hit, home run, and RBI. His breakout season came in 2001 when he hit a career-best 19 home runs. Fick had another fine offensive year in 2002. He was named to the American League All-Star Team, albeit many attribute the selection being a result of the rule that one player per team must appear in the All-Star Game. In 2002, he also led all major league right fielders in assists, with 21.

paragraph: Fick signed with the Atlanta Braves for the 2003 season. He was released at year's end despite setting a career-high with 80 RBI. He has since played for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, San Diego Padres, and Washington Nationals, though he has not enjoyed the same success.

paragraph: Fick was inducted into the West Michigan Whitecaps Hall of Fame in January 2009 and played for Italy in the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

paragraph: Defensively, Fick serves as a utility player. He started his major league career as a catcher, but has since played more games as a first baseman and a corner outfielder. He has a career batting average of .258, with 69 home runs and 324 RBI in 846 games over 10 seasons.

paragraph: Fick's brush with controversy occurred playing for the Atlanta Braves during the 2003 NLDS, when he ran past first base, slapping the catching arm of Cubs' first baseman Eric Karros just as Karros was catching a throw. He later admitted that it was done intentionally. Braves upper management fined him $25,000 and manager Bobby Cox also fined him an undisclosed additional amount. He was released by the Braves shortly thereafter opening the discussion that the "dirty play" on Karros was partly the reason. The last team he played for was the Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League.

paragraph: Fick is currently a roving instructor for the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system and was acting manager for the Great Lakes Loons when manager Luis Matos was serving a two-game suspension in June 2015.

paragraph: On October 18, 2008, Fick was inducted into the Ventura College Athletic Hall of Fame

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Fick is a former child actor. During the 1980s, he was an extra in "Cheers", "Who's the Boss?", and "Webster". He also did a Gatorade commercial when he was 13 years old.

paragraph: Starboy Nathan

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Fagan-Gayle is the son of reggae singer Lorna Gee. Fagan-Gayle and his mother moved to Jamaica when he was two years old so that she could pursue her career. As her profile developed she relocated to the United States while Fagan-Gayle remained in Jamaica with his grandmother. At the age of five he joined his mother in New York City, where they settled until Fagan-Gayle turned 11 years old.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2006–2008: First studio album, "Masterpiece".

paragraph: In 2006, Fagan-Gayle released his debut single "Come into My Room" which charted inside the UK top 40, peaking at number 37. This was his only single for the label V2 Records. His second single "Round and Round", released in January 2007, marked a change in record label and was the first for Mona Records/Vibes Corner Music. On 9 October 2006, he released his debut album "Masterpiece", which was led by the third single "Cold as Ice". "Masterpiece" debuted and peaked at number 122 on the UK albums chart when it was subsequently reissued in 2007. The fourth single from the album, "Do Without My Love" was released prior to this reissue and became the second biggest hit from "Masterpiece", peaking at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart.

paragraph: On 3 January 2008, Fagan-Gayle entered the "" house. He came sixth in the show.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2009–present: Second studio album, "3D" and name change.

paragraph: Since the release of "Masterpiece" and the promotion for it ending in 2008, Fagan-Gayle has been working on his sophomore effort. His second studio album is due for release in November 2011 and is entitled "3D - Determination, Dedication, Desire". The first single from the album was "Caught Me Slippin" featuring Flo Rida, which was issued on 5 July 2010.

paragraph: In 2011, Fagan-Gayle began using the moniker "Starboy Nathan" instead of the mononym by which he was originally recognised. He explained the reason for the name change in an interview with "Tale Tela", "You know what, you kinda proved my point when you said 'Nathan, just Nathan' and that was the point 'just Nathan' and I just wanted to have a bit more fun with it. It came from when I was young and I used to perform in front of my family and my parents and my Mum just to say "Starboy time", it's just a bit of fun and it's more distinctive. I mean, you can type in Nathan, just Nathan into Google and I might come up or you get 50 million other things whereas 'Starboy Nathan' is very defiant and it's definitive and you can search it and all of my library will come up and stuff so it's a bit more like that. And I've changed the Twitter name to 'Starboy Nathan' and the Facebook name as well. It didn't confuse any fans, I told them, they were with me on it."

paragraph: Following a support slot on the second JLS tour, And The Ndubz tour Starboy Nathan announced that "Diamonds" would be the second single from the "3D" album. The single was released on 18 April 2011. Starboy Nathan will also be supporting The Wanted on their UK tour.

paragraph: Starboy Nathan's single "Hangover" (featuring Wretch 32) was released on 12 September 2011 and reached position 92 on the UK Singles Chart. His album "3D - Dedication, Determination, Desire" was released the following year.

paragraph: Fagan-Gayle auditioned in 2012 for "The X Factor". In auditions he received four yeses to take him through to the Bootcamp round, where he then progressed to the Judges Houses round in Dubai. However, judge Nicole Scherzinger did not select him to be one of her final three male singers.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In May 2016, Fagan-Gayle was sentenced at the Old Bailey to 20 months in prison for his part in laundering £20,000 from a telephone scam that defrauded a number of British pensioners.

paragraph: Gostan Zarian

paragraph: Gostan, Constant, or Kostan Zarian (, Shamakhi,February 2, 1885 – Yerevan, December 11, 1969) was an Armenian writer who produced short lyric poems, long narrative poems of an epic cast, manifestos, essays, travel impressions, criticism, and fiction. The genre in which he excelled, however, was the diary form with long autobiographical divagations, reminiscences and impressions of people and places, interspersed with literary, philosophical and historical meditations and polemics.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Zarian was born in Shamakhi. His father, Christopher Yeghiazarov, was a prosperous general in the Russian Army, "a strong man, profoundly Christian and Armenian," who spent most of his life fighting in the mountains of the Caucasus. He died when Zarian was four years old, which then prompted the family to move to Baku. He then was separated from his mother and placed with a Russian family, who enrolled him in a Russian Gymnasium.

paragraph: After attending the Russian Gymnasium of Baku, in 1895, when he was ten, he was sent to the College of Saint Germain in Asnières, near Paris. He continued his studies in Belgium, and, after obtaining a doctorate in literature and philosophy from the Free University (Universite Livre) of Brussels, he spent about a year writing and publishing verse in both French and Russian, delivering lectures on Russian literature and drama, and living a more or less bohemian life among writers and artists. Zarian became involved in the Russian Social Democratic Party, where he became personally acquainted with Vladimir Lenin. After 1909, he was a political exile in Europe, as the tsarist government had reportedly banned his return to the Caucasus because of his revolutionary activities, for which he spent a year and a half in a German jail (1907–08). He published a few poems in Russian in the revolutionary magazine "Raduga" and contributed to Belgian publications with prose, poems and critical essays in French. Speaking of this period in his life, Zarian wrote: "We used to have cheap food with Lenin in a small restaurant in Geneva, and today, a syphilitic boozer with his feet on a chair and hand on revolver is telling me: 'You counter-revolutionary fanatic nationalist Armenian intellectuals are in no position to understand Lenin.'" In addition to Lenin, Zarian also met and befriended such poets, artists, and political thinkers as Guillaume Apollinaire, Pablo Picasso, Georgi Plekhanov, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Paul Éluard, Fernand Léger, and the renowned Belgian poet and literary critic Emile Verhaeren. It was Verhaeren who advised him to study his own mother tongue and write in the language of his ancestors if he wanted to reveal his true self. Heeding his advice, Zarian studied Classical Armenian and Modern Armenian with the Mekhitarists on the island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni in Venice (1910–1912), where he also published "Three Songs" (1915), a book of poems in Italian (originally written in Armenian), one of which, titled "La Primavera" (Spring), was set to music by Ottorino Respighi and first performed in 1923.

paragraph: Zarian then moved to Istanbul, which was then the most important cultural center of the Armenian diaspora, though he often travelled between Venice and Istanbul; and during such a trip, when leaving Istanbul on the ship S.S. Montenegro in 1912, he met his future wife Takuhi (Rachel) Shahnazarian, marrying her on December 4, 1912 in Venice, then returning to Istanbul with her in two months. In 1914, together with Daniel Varoujan, Hagop Oshagan, Kegham Parseghian, and , he founded the literary periodical "Mehian," which means pagan temple in Armenian. This constellation of young firebrands became known as the "Mehian" writers, and like their contemporaries in Europe—the French surrealists, Italian futurists, and German expressionists—they defied the establishment fighting against ossified traditions and preparing the way for the new. "In distant cities people argued and fought around our ideas," wrote Zarian. "Ignorant school principals had banned our periodical. Well-known scholars looked upon us with suspicion. They hated us but did not dare to say anything openly. We were close to victory..." The tone of the "Mehian" publications was politically, aesthetically and religiously radical, with a strong influence from German philology—with Zarian specifically advocating an anti-Semitic idea that was present in many of his later works of fiction: that Armenians were an Aryan people who needed to overcome the Semite within themselves.

paragraph: A year later, the Young Turk government decided to exterminate the entire Armenian population of Turkey. The genocide that followed claimed 1.5 million victims, among them 200 of the ablest Armenian poets and authors, including a lot of the "Mehian" writers. Zarian was able to escape to Bulgaria before the closing of the borders in November 1914, and then to Italy, establishing himself in Rome and later in Florence.

paragraph: In 1919, as a special correspondent to an Italian newspaper, he was sent to the Middle East and Armenia. He returned to Istanbul in late 1921 and there, together with Vahan Tekeyan, Hagop Oshagan, Schahan Berberian, and Kegham Kavafian, he founded another literary periodical, "Partsravank" (Monastery-on-a-Hill), in 1922. He also published a second book of poems, "The Crown of Days" (Istanbul, 1922).

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: Following the establishment of Soviet rule in Armenia, Zarian returned there and taught comparative literature at the Yerevan State University from 1922-1924. Thoroughly disappointed with the Soviet state, in 1924 he again went abroad where he conducted a nomadic existence, living in Paris (where he founded the short-lived French-language periodical "La tour de Babel"), Rome, Florence, the Greek island of Corfu, the Italian island of Ischia, and New York City. On August 31, 1934 he married his second wife, the American artist Frances Brooks. In New York he taught the history of Armenian culture at Columbia University and edited the English-language periodical "The Armenian Quarterly" (1946) which lasted only two issues, but was the first Armenian Studies journal in the United States and published the work of such scholars as Sirarpie Der Nersessian, Henri Grégoire, Giuliano Bonfante, and writers such as Marietta Shaginyan. From 1952–54 he taught history of art at the American University of Beirut (Lebanon). Following an interlude in Vienna and Rapallo, he taught at Berkeley.

paragraph: Section::::Friendship with Lawrence Durrell.

paragraph: The British author Lawrence Durrell and Zarian were friends for many years, exchanging letters between 1937 and 1951 (only twenty-five written by Durrell still exist) in which Durrell addressed Zarian as "Dear Master" and "Chère Maître," and spending time together in Greece and Italy (1937–54), Corfu (1937), Ischia (1950) and Cyprus (1954). They shared a fascination with classical Greek culture and the felt need for an existential reconnection to it via Hellenic culture and geography, self-realization through physical health and spiritual integration. In 1952, Durrell wrote an essay entitled "Constant Zarian: Triple Exile" in the magazine "The Poetry Review" in which he wrote that:

paragraph: It was no conscious choice that made Zarian a classical man—it was the development of a natural style of mind, founded in bitter experience and in a tenacious belief that if man was to be saved from destruction he stood in need of major artists of a new type—responsible men. His own task was no longer to reject, to criticize, to whine—but in the deepest sense of the word, to submerge in the swift currents of history and to give their impulse direction and form. "To endure and contribute"—that was the new motto: and he had never deviated by a hairsbreadth from it in his attitude to his work and his people. He was now a triple exile: exiled by both Czarist and Bolshevik; and doubly exiled from the current of European thought by his choice of language.

paragraph: In a 1950 poem, Durrell describes Zarian in Ischia:

paragraph: poem

paragraph: We came originally here to see

paragraph: A character from Prospero called C.

paragraph: (It stands for Constant) Zarian,

paragraph: Then wild and roguish literary man

paragraph: Who with his painter wife lives on this island,

paragraph: A life romantic as one could in…Thailand.

paragraph: Together we tasted every wine,

paragraph: Most of the girls (I mean the Muses Nine)

paragraph: And some small favours accident affords

paragraph: To such poor chaps as we—as deal in words

paragraph: You get here by super motor-launch

paragraph: Crowded with chattering girls from Naples O

paragraph: Such animation such colossal brio

paragraph: It makes one feel much younger just to see,

paragraph: At least so Zarian says. (He's sixty-three)

paragraph: He scales a mountain like a wild chamois

paragraph: Despite a certain—bulk—avoirdupois

paragraph: And swears Per Baccho loud as any peasant:

paragraph: Together we've enjoyed a very pleasant

paragraph: Month of mad cookery and writing talk,

paragraph: Such food, such wine—a wonder we can walk.

paragraph: /poem

paragraph: Section::::The last years.

paragraph: While teaching at UC Berkeley, Zarian was visited by the Catholicos of All Armenians Vazgen I, who asked him to return to Armenia after many years of exile. In 1963 Zarian once more returned to Soviet Armenia where he worked at the Charents Museum of Literature and Arts in Yerevan. He died in Yerevan on December 11, 1969, leaving behind three children from his first marriage, Vahe, Armen, and Nevart Zarian, and a son from his second marriage, Hovan Zarian.

paragraph: Bao Shichen

paragraph: Bao Shichen (Chinese: 包世臣；1775—1855）was a calligrapher and reformist scholar in the early nineteenth century. Under the Qing administration, Bao made numorous important suggestions regarding the areas of military affairs, laws and politics, the grain tribute system, the salt monopoly, and the improvement of agricultural practice.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Bao Shichen grew up in a low-class intellectual family, and had fair education. He was son of a low-ranking Green Standard Army officer, and helped his father to suppress the Lin Shuangwen rebellion. When his father was ill, he brought his father home in Anhui province. While taking care of his father by himself, Bao rented a land to farm, acquiring food this way, and sold vegetables and fruits for money. After his father passed away, Bao used his paternal connections to get a commander position in leading the White Lotus campaigns in the northwest.

paragraph: Throughout his life, Bao had experienced thirteen failures to pass the highest level of the civil service examination, and therefore did not obtain a formal official position until his late years with the help of friends.

paragraph: Bao had one son and one daughter.

paragraph: Section::::Major works and reputations.

paragraph: In 1801, Bao wrote an essay "Shuochu" (说储, On Wealth) to list his ambitious thoughts on the reforms that could help Qing empire to regain its political power and became prosperous again. He believed in the theory of "agriculture first", that agriculture is paramount for achieving prosperity in the country, and he also put down his ideas on agrarian policy in an essay "Random notes from the year 1820" ("Gengchen zazhu"). In 1820s and 1830s, Bao did a considerable amount of work on the reforms of the Grain Tribute Administration and the Liang-Huai Salt Administration.

paragraph: Along with many other scholars in the nineteenth century, Bao is labaled as "jinshi"--"statecraft". He advocated large scale institutional reforms, such as getting rid of the Grand Council to improve administrational efficiency, allowing the court to consult the literati, giving farmers low gentry degrees based on their agricultural technique, and reconsolidating the "baojia" (保甲) system.

paragraph: However, Bao's reputation is earned mostly for being a calligrapher and historian of calligraphy. He wrote a book "Yizhou Shuangji" (艺舟双楫, Two Oars for the Boat of Art) in 1844 on Wei style character formation. Bao was also known in the late Qing to be an anti-foreign patriot and an extreme hardliner in the opium debates and the first Anglo-Chinese war of 1839-42. In China, Bao Shichen is well-known as an anti-foreign-capitalist advocate. He deeply criticized Opium War and exposed the judicial darkness during the war.

paragraph: In his late years, Bao collected and compiled all his written works into one book titles "Anwu Sizhong" (安吴四种, Four Catogories of Anwu).

paragraph: Section::::Criticizing Opium Trade.

paragraph: Bao believed that there were three wastages: tobacco, wine, and opium.

paragraph: In Bao's argument on the opium trade, he suggested that large number of silver flowing out of China and the large amount of cash transaction caused the silver money to become more valuable while devaluing the copper money. This directly affected the poorer community and made their life miserable.

paragraph: Mattathias

paragraph: Mattathias ben Johanan (, "Matiṯyāhu haKohēn ben Yōḥānān") (died 165 BCE) was a Kohen (Jewish priest) whose role in the religion-driven Maccabean Revolt against the Greek Seleucid Empire is related in the "Books of the Maccabees". Mattathias is accorded a central role in the story of Hanukkah and, as a result, is named in the Al HaNissim prayer Jews add to the Birkat Hamazon (grace after meals) and the Amidah during the festival's eight days.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: The father of Judas Maccabeus, Eleazar Avaran, Simon Thassi, John Gaddi, and Jonathan Apphus, Mattathias was from a rural priestly family from Modi'in. Like all fit priests, he served in the Temple in Jerusalem. He was a son of Yohannan, grandson of Simeon, the Hasmonean, and great-grandson of Asmon or Hasmonaeus, a Levite of the lineage of Joarib for being the fifth grandson of Idaiah, son of Joarib and grandson of Jachin, in turn a descendant of Phinehas, third High Priest of Israel, according to Mattathias' own words in 1 Maccabees.

paragraph: After the Seleucid persecutions began, Mattathias returned to Modi'in. In 167 BCE, when asked by a Seleucid Greek government representative under emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanes to offer sacrifice to the Greek gods, he not only refused to do so, but slew with his own hand the Jew who had stepped forward to do so. He then killed the government official that required the act.

paragraph: Upon the edict for his arrest, he took refuge in the wilderness of Judea with his five sons and called upon all Jews to follow him. Many eventually responded to his call.

paragraph: Section::::Context.

paragraph: This was the first step in the Maccabean Revolt, the result of which was Jewish independence, which had not been enjoyed for more than 400 years. The events of the war of the Maccabees form the basis for the holiday of Hanukkah, which is celebrated by Jews on the 25th of Kislev (on the Hebrew calendar, corresponding to mid-November to late December in the Gregorian calendar).

paragraph: Section::::In literature and liturgy.

paragraph: The story of the Maccabees can be found in the deuterocanonical books of 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees, in Josephus, and in Talmudic references (Shabbat 21b, Shabbat 23a - related to the candles).

paragraph: The "Al HaNisim" prayer, added into the Amidah and Birkat Hamazon on Chanukah, refers to the story of the Maccabees and to Mattathias by name.

paragraph: Victor Motschulsky

paragraph: Victor Ivanovitsch Motschulsky (Sometimes Victor von Motschulsky, , 11 April 1810, in St. Petersburg – 5 June 1871, in Simferopol) was a Russian entomologist mainly interested in beetles.

paragraph: Motschulsky was an Imperial Army colonel who undertook extended trips abroad. He studied and described many new beetles from Siberia, Alaska, the United States of America, Europe, and Asia. While he tended to ignore previous work and his own work on classification was of poor quality, Motschulsky made a massive contribution to entomology, exploring hitherto unworked regions, often in very difficult terrain. He described many new genera and species, a high proportion of which remain valid.

paragraph: Section::::Travels.

paragraph: Motschulsky’s travels included:

paragraph: 1836 - France, Switzerland and the Alps, northern Italy and Austria

paragraph: 1839-1840 - Russian Caucasus, Astrakhan, Kazan and Siberia

paragraph: 1847 - Khirgizia

paragraph: 1850-1851 - Germany, Austria, Egypt, India, France, England, Belgium and Dalmatia

paragraph: 1853 - United States of America, Panama, returning to St. Petersburg via Hamburg, Kiel and Copenhagen

paragraph: 1853 - Germany, Switzerland and Austria

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Motschulsky has 45 published works, mostly on biogeographic, faunistic, or systematic aspects of entomology. Many of these works are based on studies of insect collections that were created by a large number of other naturalists, especially Russians who had been to Siberia. Most of his works are on Coleoptera, but some are on Lepidoptera and Hemiptera. He also made collections of other arthropod groups including myriapods sometimes describing species under the name of "Victor".
