paragraph: John Ancrum Winslow

paragraph: John Ancrum Winslow (19 November 1811 – 29 September 1873) was an officer in the United States Navy during the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War. He was in command of the steam sloop of war during her historic 1864 action off Cherbourg, France with the Confederate sea raider .

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

paragraph: Although born in Wilmington, North Carolina, Winslow was a member of the old New England Winslow family, a descendant of Mayflower passenger Mary Chilton and her husband John Winslow who was a brother of Pilgrim father Edward Winslow. One of his first cousins was Francis Winslow (I) (1818–1862) who also joined the Navy, becoming a Commander, who also fought in the Civil War and who died of Yellow Fever in 1862 while in command of the . He was educated in the North and became an ardent abolitionist.

paragraph: He entered the navy as a midshipman on 1 February 1827, became a passed midshipman, 10 June 1833, and was commissioned a lieutenant on 9 February 1839. During the Mexican War he took part in the expeditions against Tabasco, Tampico, and Tuxpan, and was present at the fall of Vera Cruz. For his gallantry in action he was allowed to have command of the schooner , which had been captured at Tampico in November 1846 and was taken into service, but she was poorly equipped and was lost on a reef off Vera Cruz on 16 December 1846. While serving at Tabasco during the Mexican-American War, he was commended for gallantry in action by Commodore Matthew Perry. He shared a shipboard cabin with his later adversary, Raphael Semmes. The two officers served together on , Semmes as the ship's flag lieutenant and Winslow as a division officer. The two, however, never mention this fact in their respective autobiographies.

paragraph: He was executive of the sloop in the Gulf of Mexico in 1848-1849, at the Boston Navy Yard in 1849-1850, and in the frigate of the Pacific Squadron, in 1851-1855. He was promoted to commander, 14 September 1855.

paragraph: Section::::Civil War service.

paragraph: The outbreak of the Civil War found Winslow serving ashore as commanding officer of the 2d Lighthouse District. He decided to stay with the Union, probably due to his New England roots, anti-slavery views, and his wife, who was another of his first cousins, also from Boston. After Flag Officer Andrew H. Foote relieved Commander John Rodgers in command of the Western Flotilla, he requested that Winslow be sent west to assist him as executive officer. At Cairo, Illinois, Winslow labored to fit out and man gunboats for service on the Mississippi River and its tributaries. In October 1861, he assumed command of at St. Louis, Missouri. As that deep-draft gunboat was steaming down river to Cairo, she ran aground on a sandbar. While attempting to refloat the ship, Winslow was badly injured by a flying chain link and forced to return home late in the year to recover. When he was able to return to duty in the summer of 1862, Winslow was given comparatively minor assignments. He contracted malaria, became discontented, and asked to be reassigned to other duty.

paragraph: Detached from the Mississippi Squadron, Winslow returned to his home in Roxbury, Massachusetts, early in November and was confined to bed there for a month attempting to regain his health. On 5 December, orders arrived directing him to proceed via New York City to the Azores where he was to assume command of the screw sloop . Two days later, he went to New York where he embarked in for passage to Fayal. However, when he reached that island on Christmas Eve, he found that "Kearsarge" had sailed to Spain for repairs; and he was forced to remain at Fayal until spring. When the screw sloop finally returned early in April 1863, he assumed command.

paragraph: In "Kearsarge", he cruised among the Azores seeking Confederate commerce raider until autumn when he shifted to European waters. At Ferrol, Spain, Winslow learned that was at Brest, France, undergoing overhaul; and he promptly sailed for that port to prevent her from slipping out to sea again. While keeping track of the progress of the repair work on the Southern warship through the U.S. diplomatic and espionage network, he also made runs along the coast of western Europe, checking on rumors of other Confederate raiders in the area. He also rigorously drilled his crew in naval gunnery, which stood them in good stead in the battle to come.

paragraph: In January 1864, "Kearsarge" returned to Cadiz for naval stores and repairs; and, while she was away from Brest, "Florida" put to sea on 18 February. When "Kearsarge" returned and learned that the quarry had escaped, she shifted to Calais, France, where was moored. On 12 June, while moored in the Scheldt off Vlissingen (Flushing), Winslow received a telegram informing him that "Alabama" was at Cherbourg, a French naval port.

paragraph: Section::::Civil War service.:Battle with "Alabama".

paragraph: Capt. Winslow arrived off Cherbourg 14 June 1864, where he found the "Alabama" and blockaded her in the harbor. The "Alabama" made preparations for fight, and Capt. Raphael Semmes caused Winslow to be informed of this intention through the U. S. consul. On Sunday, 19 June 1864, he was lying three miles off the eastern entrance of the harbor when the "Alabama" came out, escorted by a French iron-clad and the English yacht "Deerhound". Winslow steamed off seven miles from the shore so as to be beyond the neutral ground, and then steamed toward the "Alabama". The armament of the "Kearsarge" was seven guns, and that of the "Alabama" eight guns, including a 100-pound Blakely rifle. The "Kearsarge" was slightly faster, and had 163 men, while the "Alabama" had 149. The "Kearsarge" had a definitive advantage over the Confederate ship in that it had a concealed iron chain over its wooden hull, but victory over the "Alabama" was all but certain.

paragraph: When Winslow turned to approach, the "Alabama" opened fire from a raking position at a distance of one mile at 10:57 a.m. He kept on at full speed, receiving a second broadside and part of a third, when he sheered off and returned the fire from his starboard battery. Both vessels circled around a common centre, and neared each other to within 600 yards. The sides of the "Alabama" were torn out by the shells, and at noon, after the action had continued for one hour, she headed for the shore to get into neutral waters, then five miles distant. This exposed her port side, and she could only bring two guns to bear. The ship was filling, and Winslow approached so rapidly that Semmes hauled down his flag. Winslow stopped the ship, but continued to fire, uncertain whether the "Alabama" had surrendered.

paragraph: A white flag was then shown, and Winslow ceased firing. A boat from the "Alabama" then came alongside to announce the surrender, and was allowed to go back to bring off the "Alabama"s officers and crew, but she did not return. The yacht "Deerhound" then came up. The "Deerhound" picked up thirty-nine persons, including Semmes and fourteen of his officers, after which she went off and sailed to Southampton.

paragraph: The engagement lasted an hour and twenty minutes. After the last shot was fired the "Alabama" sank out of sight. She had about forty killed, and seventy were made prisoners, so that thirty-nine escaped. Only three men were wounded in the "Kearsarge", one of whom died. The "Alabama" outshot the "Kearsarge" two to one. Only twenty-eight projectiles struck the "Kearsarge" out of the 370 that were fired by the "Alabama", and none of these did any material damage, due to the anchor chains protecting the "Kearsarge" hull. One 100-pound shell exploded in the smoke-stack, and one lodged in the stern-post of the "Kearsarge", but did not explode. The "Kearsarge" fired 173 projectiles, and few failed to do some injury.

paragraph: Winslow's victory earned him promotion to commodore, backdated to the day of the battle, and the Thanks of Congress.

paragraph: Section::::Later career and legacy.

paragraph: Advanced to rear admiral in 1870, Winslow commanded the Pacific Squadron from that year to 1872. He was always known as a solid, courageous, determined officer. Shortly after his retirement, he died in Boston. His coffin was draped in the "Kearsarge"s battle flag, and a slab of stone from Mt. Kearsarge covered his grave.

paragraph: Two ships in the United States Navy have been named for him. A third "Winslow" honored him and his first cousin once removed, Admiral Cameron McRae Winslow (second son of Francis Winslow (I)).

paragraph: Mithridates II of Commagene

paragraph: Mithridates II Antiochus Epiphanes Philorhomaeus Philhellen Monocrites (, died 20 BC), also known as Mithridates II of Commagene, was a man of Armenian and Greek descent who lived in the 1st century BC. He was a prince of Commagene and one of the sons of King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene and Queen Isias Philostorgos of Commagene. When his father died in 38 BC, he succeeded his father and reigned until his death.

paragraph: According to Plutarch, he was an ally of the Roman triumvir Mark Antony. In 31 BC, Mithridates personally led his forces to Actium in Greece in support of Antony in the war against Caesar Octavian, the future Roman emperor Augustus. After the defeat of Antony, however, Mithridates became a loyal ally to Augustus. Nevertheless, Augustus forced Mithridates to hand over a village in Commagene called Zeugma, which was a major crossing point of the Euphrates River, to the Roman province of Syria. To show his support for Augustus, Mithridates dropped the title "Philhellen" ("friend of the Greeks") from his Aulic titulature and adopted the title "Philorhomaeus" ("friend of the Romans") instead. Both titles were derived from the Commagenean royal cult that Mithridates' father had founded, and in which Mithridates played an important role. His other title "Monocrites" is an otherwise unattested title and was most likely a judicial function within the royal administration and a sign of his high social standing.

paragraph: Mithridates had a brother, Antiochus II of Commagene, who was also a prince of the kingdom. In 29 BC, Antiochus was summoned to Rome and executed by Roman emperor Augustus, because Antiochus had caused the assassination of an ambassador whom Mithridates had sent to Rome.

paragraph: According to an inscription found in the Turkish village of Sofraz on a funerary altar of a prominent and wealthy local family, dating to around the mid-1st century, the wife of Mithridates was a Greek woman called Laodice. The altar inscribes the names of seven generations of family members, including the names of Mithridates, of his father and of his wife. When Mithridates died in 20 BC, his son by Laodice, Mithridates III of Commagene, succeeded him.

paragraph: Joe Karam

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Karam was born in Taumarunui to a Lebanese father and an Irish mother. He grew up on the family farm near Raurimu and attended St. Patrick's College, Silverstream.

paragraph: Section::::Rugby union career.

paragraph: A first XV player at Saint Patrick's, Karam scored 138 of the schools 239 points during the 1967 season. That year he was a North Island secondary schoolboys representative.

paragraph: He spent the 1971 season with Horowhenua. He was selected for Wellington's South Island tour in 1972, becoming the youngest-ever player picked to represent Wellington. An extremely hard trainer at a club level, Karam was named as an All Black for the 1972–73 tour of the British Isles and France. He played 10 test matches for the All Blacks between 1972 and 1975.

paragraph: Section::::Rugby league career.

paragraph: Karam switched codes in 1975, signing a three-year deal with the Glenora Bears in the Auckland Rugby League competition $20,000 a year. Karam was horrified that players on the UK tour of 1971 got a pound a day as their living allowance while rugby officials "were flying around the world drinking champagne like it was going out of fashion". For players of "modest employment" slogging it out on the field for their country it meant that "their wife and children were starving back home".

paragraph: He scored 160 points for the Bears in 1976, winning the Painter Rosebowl Trophy as top point scorer. He won the trophy again in 1977. Karam was selected for Auckland almost immediately, playing in six games in 1976 and scoring 53 points. This including playing in Auckland's 17–7 defeat of New South Wales City. He played in one game for Auckland in 1977, kicking six goals.

paragraph: By the final year of his contract, Karam couldn't break into the Glenora side, being succeeded by Warwick Freeman. He reportedly found the tackling work rate to be far more demanding than in rugby union.

paragraph: Section::::Support for David Bain.

paragraph: Karam is known for his many years of unqualified support for David Bain, who was convicted in 1995 of murdering all five members of his family. Karam's research and sustained pressure on the justice system culminated in an appeal to the Privy Council in Britain in May 2007, at which Bain's conviction was overturned. The Privy Council found there had been a substantial miscarriage of justice, quashed his convictions and ordered a retrial. After his convictions were quashed, Karam allowed Bain to stay at his house in the Waikato on bail prior to the retrial two years later. Bain stayed for about three months before moving to Auckland. The new trial was held in 2009 and Bain was found not guilty on all five charges.

paragraph: Without Karam's support, it is unlikely there would ever have been a retrial. His interest in the case began in 1996, when he read a newspaper article about "an old music teacher and a bunch of young, long-haired university students" trying to raise money for Bain's appeal by selling jam. He went and gave them money. He began to study the evidence presented at the original trial and began to feel something was wrong with the case. He went to visit Bain in prison in Christchurch and subsequently visited him over 200 times. According to media commentator Paul Holmes, Karam was appalled at the way the family, the Police and the Fire Service arranged to burn the Bain house down.

paragraph: Based on his extensive research over many years, Karam wrote four books about David Bain's case. The first was ""David and Goliath: the Bain family murders"" published in 1997. Karam made accusations against two police officers in "David and Goliath" as a result of which he was sued for defamation. (He won that case as well.) The book created a media furore. Karam appeared regularly on the "Holmes" TV show and 'did a thousand other media interviews'. The second book, ""Bain and Beyond"" was published in 2000 and the third, ""Innocent!: seven critical flaws in the conviction of David Bain"" came out in 2001. The fourth book ""Trial By Ambush: The Prosecutions Of David Bain"" was released in 2012. In this book, Karam accuses Robin Bain of the murders of his wife and three of their children before shooting himself.

paragraph: Karam was paid $424,480 by Legal Services for his legal work in support of David Bain. Commissioner Nigel Fyfe approved the payment describing Karam's "unique circumstances", and said his legal assistance to Bain's defence was "exceptional" and the "equivalent to a non-qualified legal executive..."

paragraph: Section::::The personal cost.

paragraph: While supporting Bain, Karam spent his "considerable fortune" on the case. He'd become wealthy in various business ventures including hamburger bars and country pubs and the country's first major independent vending machine company. He had more than 20 investment properties, a launch and racehorses and lived on a 10-acre property in Clevedon.

paragraph: Karam says the crusade cost him millions and his friends estimated his personal losses could be as much as $4 million in terms of his time, loss of earnings and costs of legal and forensic experts. He spent it in his pursuit of the case and ended up living in 15 to 20 different rental houses over the past decade while trying to prove Bain's innocence.

paragraph: He received some compensation prior to the retrial by working as a researcher and investigator for Bain's legal team, where he was paid up to $95 an hour.

paragraph: Karam acknowledges that fighting the case has taken its toll on him over the years. Interviewed in the New Zealand Herald in 2007 under the headline "Joe Karam: Freedom Fighter", he said, "For many years, the mainstream media, judiciary, and politicians just thought of me as a raving redneck who'd lost the plot." He stopped socialising with rich-list friends because people would inevitably "buttonhole him about the case" and he felt compelled to put them straight – "destroying the dinner party" in the process. He said that "every morning for two years, he would wake up, sink to the edge of the bed and cry". When asked what motivated him to keep going, he said it was because of his "innate hatred of unfairness and urge to help those less fortunate".

paragraph: Section::::Defamation cases.

paragraph: Karam also took legal action to defend himself in pursuit of the case. In addition to being sued for defamation by two police officers, he took on the media with litigation against TVNZ, North and South magazine and the New Zealand Herald. He sued journalist Rosemary McLeod over an article that cast doubt on his motives for supporting Bain. They settled out of court. In 2011 he sued Trade Me for defamation over 349 posts on the website's public message boards about Bain.

paragraph: In 2012, Karam began legal proceedings against Kent Parker and Victor Purkiss for defamation. Parker and Purkiss were opposed to David Bain receiving compensation and made numerous derogatory comments about Karam on a number of websites. In April 2014, Justice Patricia Courtney identified about 50 defamatory statements published on Facebook and on a private website by Parker and Purkiss, and awarded Karam $535,000. Parker admitted the defamation under cross-examination and was ordered to pay $350,500. Purkiss, who made defamatory posts on Facebook and the website Counterspin, was ordered to pay $184,500.

paragraph: The judgement can be found here.

paragraph: Karam was also awarded $64,774 in costs, and $11,350 disbursements. Journalist Jock Anderson said it was unlikely Karam would ever receive any of the money because Purkiss left the country and Parker was bankrupt. Karam also sued Fairfax NZ because articles on stuff.co.nz drew attention to the websites that contained the defamatory comments by Parker and Purkiss, but Fairfax settled out of court. Karam said the public campaign against his integrity had been the "worst four years" of his life.

paragraph: Section::::The Innocence Project.

paragraph: Karam believes the fact that it took 13 years to get Bain's conviction overturned shows how flawed the New Zealand justice system is. In 2007 he said he planned to set up an organisation similar to the Innocence Project in the US, where those with skills and resources offer their help pro bono, like a support club for single crusaders such as himself, Keith Hunter and Mike Kalaugher (the Scott Watson campaigners).

paragraph: An attempt to establish a New Zealand Innocence Project was made in 2009 by a group of lawyers concerned about the life sentence given to Alan Hall. In 2013, the project was re-launched out of the University of Otago, and has now been officially accepted as a branch of the Global Innocence network, becoming the world’s 63rd innocence project.

paragraph: Following the Privy Council decision to overturn the murder convictions of Mark Lundy, Karam said the Lundy case shows again that "an independent body is needed to review potential miscarriages of justice". He says it is too hard for someone to fight their case from prison when the Governor General and the police effectively determine whether the original conviction is accurate. Mark Lundy was convicted at his retrial in 2015.

paragraph: George Alfred Wilson

paragraph: George Alfred Wilson (5 April 1877 – 3 March 1962) was an English cricketer, a right-arm fast bowler and right-handed batsman who was the first man to take a wicket for Worcestershire County Cricket Club after they attained first-class status for the 1899 season.

paragraph: Born in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, Wilson opened the bowling in Worcestershire's very first County Championship match against Yorkshire on 4 May 1899, and made his mark at once by dismissing England batsman Jack Brown before Yorkshire had scored a run. He continued in the same vein, finishing with an outstanding debut innings return of 8–70, although he was less successful (2–69) in the second innings and Worcestershire were defeated by 11 runs thanks to 6–19 from Jack Brown's namesake John Thomas Brown.

paragraph: Wilson enjoyed a fine first season in first-class cricket, finishing with 92 wickets at 22.46, including 8–46 in Worcestershire's first win, against Oxford University and eight wickets in the match in their first Championship win, against Leicestershire in late July. He also played twice against the touring Australians: once for an England XI, when he took only one wicket (that of Victor Trumper), and once for a Midland Counties side, for whom he was more successful and picked up five wickets in the game.

paragraph: In 1900, Wilson passed 100 wickets for the first time, a feat he was to repeat in 1901 and 1902, his best being 122 wickets in 1901. The 1900 season also saw him make his highest score of 78 against London County, batting at number 11 and adding 97 for the last wicket with Albert Bird; while in 1901, he played in a Rest of England side against Yorkshire, a game in which Gilbert Jessop scored 233 for the Rest of England in about two and a half hours. In these three summers combined, Wilson took five or more wickets in an innings on 30 occasions.

paragraph: From 1903 onwards, Wilson's effectiveness steadily declined; indeed, after 1901, he took fewer wickets each summer until his retirement five years later. However, he remained good enough to be selected for the Players of the South against Gentlemen of the South in 1903, while the following year he achieved career-best innings figures of 9–75 against Oxford University.

paragraph: In 1906 Wilson's season's bowling average, which with the exception of 1904 had remained in the low twenties throughout his career, ballooned to 36.09, and at the end of that season he retired from first-class cricket. He died in Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire, just over a month short of his 85th birthday.

paragraph: His son, George Clifford Wilson, played 70 times for Worcestershire between 1924 and 1926.

paragraph: Hwang Jini

paragraph: Hwang Jini or Hwang Jin-Yi (; c. 1506 – c. 1560), also known by her gisaeng name Myeongwol ("bright moon", 명월), was one of the most famous gisaeng of the Joseon Dynasty. She lived during the reign of King Jungjong. She was noted for her exceptional beauty, charming quick wit, extraordinary intellect, and her assertive and independent nature. She has become an almost myth-like figure in modern Korea, inspiring novels, operas, films, and television series.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: She was born to the daughter of a scribe called Jeon Hyun Geum and a politician’s son who went by the name Hwang. The story goes that her parents met while her mother was doing laundry, but the two could not get married and she became the illegitimate daughter of Hwang.

paragraph: She was known for her beauty and her bold personality. As Hwang Jini grew older, many men wanted to marry her. According to legend, one day a coffin was passing in front of her house, but the coffin stopped and refused to move from her house just listening to her read her poetry. She then ran out and stripped off her outer skirt from her "hanbok" to cover the coffin, and only then did the coffin started to move again. The coffin was said to have carried the body of her lover who was born of a higher class, but due to her lower status the two could not wed and the man died of a broken heart. She then decides to become a "gisaeng" after losing her lover at the age of 15.

paragraph: Women during the Joseon dynasty were restricted inside the houses and were considered property. They could not marry whoever they wanted and a daughter born out of wedlock was considered an untouchable. Hwang Jini chose to become a "gisaeng" in order to escape the strict rules that women had to follow during the Joseon Dynasty. Hwang Jini refused to follow strict social norms for women and chose the life of a "gisaeng" giving her the freedom to learn not only dance and music, but also art, literature, and poetry - topics that were not normally taught to young women during the time.

paragraph: Hwang Jini’s beauty was famous throughout the Korean peninsula. It is said that her beauty shined even if she was bare faced and had her hair pulled back out of her face. She was clever, witty, and artistic. Many men of the upper class and lower classes alike came all over just to see her and her performances. She, like many other "gisaengs," at the time asked a riddle to the men who came to visit her and only those who passed could interact and talk with her. The riddle would be later known as the “Jeomiligu Idubulchool” (점일이구 이두불출/點 一 二 口 牛 頭 不出). Legend has it that she gave such difficult riddles in order to meet a man that was just as intellectual as her so that she may one day also get a husband, and the only man who solved it was a "yangban" by the name of Seo Gyung Deok.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Hwang Jini’s Riddle":".

paragraph: Hwang Jini was known for her intellect and wit. Her most famous written work was the Jeomiligu Idubulchool” (점일이구 이두불출/點 一 二 口 牛 頭 不出). She gave the riddle to any man who wanted to be her lover and she waited for many years until one man came and solved the riddle. The answer to the riddle; however, was in the title. “When combining the variations in the title the first part “Jeomiligu” (점일이구/點 一 二 口 ) created the Chinese character meaning spoken word (言) and the second part Idubulchoo; (이두불출/  牛 頭 不出) created the Chinese character meaning day (午). When you combine both words together it creates the Chinese character meaning consent (許). The reason being that whoever solved her riddle she would allow him to come into her house and share a bed with him.” This being one of her most famous written works shows her wit and intellect that most women during the time were not able to share with the rest of the world.

paragraph: Only a handful of sijo (Korean verse form) and geomungo pieces exist today. They show skilled craftsmanship of words and of musical arrangement. Hwang's sijo often describe the beauty and sites of Gaeseong (such as the palace of Manwoldae and the Pakyon Falls in the Ahobiryong Mountains), the personal tragedy of her lost loves and responses to famous classic Chinese poems and literature (the majority of them reflecting on lost love).

paragraph: Hwang appears to have been of noble birth. Her sijo are considered the most beautiful ever written. In the following poem, the term Hwang uses for her beloved (어론님) has two meanings, alluding to both her sweetheart and a person who has been frozen by the winter cold. The English phrase “frozen love” may help to illustrate this double entendre in translation.

paragraph: In this next poem, “Full Moon” is a play on Hwang’s pen name, Myeongwol (literally, “Bright Moon”; 명월 ). The poem was written to a man famed

paragraph: for his virtue, Byok Kye Su, whom Hwang infamously seduced. “Green water” is a pun on Byok’s name (벽계수 碧溪水).

paragraph: Tony Jonsson

paragraph: Þorsteinn Elton Jónsson, DFM (known in English as Thorsteinn "Tony" Jonsson; 19 October 1921 – 30 December 2001) was an Icelandic fighter pilot and flying ace of the Second World War. He was the only pilot from Iceland to serve with Royal Air Force in the Second World War, and went on to a significant career in civil aviation.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Þorsteinn was born in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 19 October 1921 to Snæbjörn Jónsson (1887–1978) and Annie Florence Westcott Jónsson (1893–1936).

paragraph: Section::::Second World War.

paragraph: Although his mother was English and Þorsteinn aspired to join the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a child, he was told by the British legation in Iceland that he was ineligible on account of his nationality. However, he took passage to England by trawler and enlisted at Padgate in 1940. As a sergeant pilot, Þorsteinn flew hurricanes with No. 17 Squadron at Elgin; he then served in No. 111 Squadron, flying Spitfires first at North Weald and later in North Africa in connection with Operation Torch, during which Þorsteinn was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal. He was commissioned as a pilot officer on 13 January 1943. On a second tour of duty with No. 65 Squadron, he flew Mustangs over Normandy. Þorsteinn was promoted flight lieutenant on 13 January 1945, and was discharged from the RAF on 16 April 1947.

paragraph: Þorsteinn is credited officially with having shot down five enemy planes (though claims have been made for eight), making him Iceland's only flying ace of the Second World War. He published a wartime memoir called "Dancing in the Skies" in 1994.

paragraph: Section::::Civil aviation career.

paragraph: After the war, Þorsteinn flew Douglas DC-3s on some of Iceland's very first domestic flights, applying his skills to Iceland's difficult weather conditions and nascent infrastructure, before flying international routes for both Icelandair and Loftleiðir. Seeking more adventurous work, Þorsteinn moved to Kinshasha (then Leopoldville) in the Belgian Congo from 1956 to 1960, flying for Sabena and working, "inter alia", as Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba's personal pilot.

paragraph: After a period flying ice patrols over the east Greenland coast, Þorsteinn delivered hundreds of tonnes of relief shipments for Nordchurchaid from São Tome to Uli in Biafra in the Nigerian Civil War as part of the Biafran airlift. Þorsteinn flew 413 of his missions at night, landing on a road lit by rudimentary lighting, switched on only shortly before landing.

paragraph: Towards the end of his career Þorsteinn flew jumbo jets for Cargolux. On retirement after 47 years as a pilot, Þorsteinn had logged 36,000 hours. He charted his postwar career in Icelandic civil aviation in "Lucky, no 13: The Eventful Life of a Pilot".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Þorsteinn was married three times: to an English wife Marianne from 1946 to 1952; from 1952 to 1965 or 1967 to Margrét Þorbjörg Thors, one of his Dakota stewardesses and daughter to Ólafur Thors, four times Iceland's Prime Minister; and to Katrín Þorðardóttir from 1969 to her death in 1994. In retirement, Þorsteinn focused on devoting time to his wife, to fishing, watercolour painting, and writing. He was survived by six of his seven children.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Milwaukee Brewers.

paragraph: The Milwaukee Brewers selected Jungmann in the first round, with the 12th overall selection, of the 2011 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft. He signed with the Brewers, receiving a $2.525 million signing bonus. Jungmann pitched for the Brevard County Manatees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League in 2012, where he had a 3.53 ERA, and for the Huntsville Stars of the Class AA Southern League in 2013, where he pitched to a 4.33 ERA.

paragraph: In 2014, Jungmann began the season with Huntsville, and was named a Southern League All-Star. He also played for the Nashville Sounds of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL).

paragraph: He finished the season with a 12–10 win–loss record, a 3.57 ERA, and 147 strikeouts in innings. The Brewers added him to their 40-man roster to protect him from being chosen in the Rule 5 draft on November 20, 2014.

paragraph: Jungmann began the 2015 season with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the PCL. The Brewers promoted Jungmann to the major leagues to make his MLB debut on June 9.

paragraph: On January 16, 2018, Jungmann signed with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).

paragraph: On November 14, 2018, he re-signed with the Giants.

paragraph: Section::::Scouting report.

paragraph: Jungmann brandishes a four pitch repertoire. At 6-foot-6, his four-seam fastball is thrown around 92-94 MPH and on a downward plane, inducing many ground balls. He also features a sinker in the upper-80s, also to induce ground balls, as well as to mask the velocity of his four-seamer. His curveball is likely his best pitch, frequently causing many swings-and-misses. Sitting in the upper-70s, the curveball has a hard, late break as it reaches the batter, and his mechanics are consistent across all of his pitches, making any off-speed offerings more deceptive. His curveball has been referred to by some as a slurve, due to its late break and decent velocity. He also features a changeup in the lower-80s with good sinking movement, though he doesn't throw it very often. Despite relying heavily on inducing ground balls, his pitches have enough velocity, movement, and deceptiveness to make him an effective strikeout pitcher.

paragraph: Dorothy Ann Thrupp

paragraph: Dorothy Ann Thrupp (often, Dorothea Ann Thrupp or Dorothy A. Thrupp; pseudonyms Iota and D.A.T.; 20 June 1779 – 14 December 1847) was a British psalmist, hymnwriter, and translator. Many of her psalms and hymns, which were published under various pseudonyms, were included in: "Friendly Visitor" (Rev. William Carus Wilson); "Children's Friend" (also edited by Wilson); "Selection of Hymns and Poetry for the Use of Infant Schools and Nurseries" (1838; edited by Mrs. Herbert Mayo); "Hymns for the Young" (1836; own publisher); and "Thoughts for the Day" (1836-37; own publication with partly previously-published material). Thrupp was the author of "Thoughts for the Day" that was published in 1837, and "Songs by the Way". In addition to these, her hymns were published in magazines edited by Caroline Fry.

paragraph: Thrupp is particularly remembered as a writer of hymns for children. "Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead us" first appeared unsigned in her collection "Hymns for the Young", in 1836, with music by William B. Bradbury. Her most popular hymn was for children and it was titled "A Little Ship on the Sea".

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Dorothy Ann Thrupp was born 20 June 1779, in Paddington Green, Middlesex, England. She was a daughter of John Augustus Thrupp (1785–1844) of Spanish Place, Manchester Square, London, and his first wife, Mary Burgon (d. 1795). Her father was a coach builder and his business would, in time, become Thrupp & Maberly. She had two brothers, John and Charles. After her mother's death, her father married Mary Pillow. By this union, Dorothy had two half-brothers: Joseph and Frederick. Joseph Francis Thrupp, churchman, academic, and a writer on the Psalms, was her nephew.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Thrupp spent her entire life in London, where she wrote in children's magazines. Modest in character, avoiding personal publicity, using pen names, Thrupp was not fully credited for her works.

paragraph: She contributed under the signature "Iota" to some of the juvenile magazines edited by Caroline Fry, and wrote several hymns: one, "A little ship was on the sea", was a great favourite with children. She also published translations from Pascal and Fenelon. Her hymns, a few of which have come into extensive use, were contributed to the Rev. W. C. Wilson's "Friendly Visitor" and his "Children's Friend", under the "nom de plume" of "Iota"; to Mrs. Mayo's "Selection of Hymns and Poetry for the use of Infant Schools and Nurseries", 1838 (third edition, 1846, which her signature is "D. A. T."; and also to the "Hymns for the Young", which she herself edited for the Religious Tract Society (R.T.S.) circa 1830, fourth edition, 1836. In 1836 and 1837, she also published "Thoughts for the Day" (second series), in which she embodied many hymns which previously appeared in the "Friendly Visitor". Another one of her manuals was "Songs by the Way".

paragraph: She died at London, 14 December 1847.

paragraph: Section::::Selected works.

paragraph: In addition to her hymns, which are annotated under their respective first lines, there are also several works in collections.

paragraph: "Come, Holy Spirit, come. 0 hear an infant's prayer" was written as a child's prayer. It appeared in Mayo's "Selection of Hymns and Poetry", 1838, No. 14, and was signed "D. A. T."

paragraph: "God loves the little child that prays" had the theme of God's love for children. It was given in Thrupp's "Hymns for the Young", fourth edition, 1836; and again in Mayo's "Selection for Children". It was also given in Thrupp's "Hymns for the Young", fourth edition, 1836; and again in Mayo's "Selection of Hymns" and second edition, 1840, and signed "D. A. T." It is sometimes given as "God loves the child that humbly prays."

paragraph: "Have you read the wondrous story!" was a hymn about the life and death of Jesus. This appeared anonymously in Thrupp's "Hymns for the Young", R. T. S., 1830, Number 12, in six stanzas of 4 1. In Thrupp's later publications, this hymn is omitted, a fact which suggests that it was not her composition, but possibly that of a friend. The hymn is in the Leed's "S. S. Union Hymn Book", 1833-78, and several others.

paragraph: "Let us sing with one accord" was a hymn praising Jesus. It is usually associated with Thrupp's name, but on insufficient evidence. It is found in the fourth edition of her "Hymns for the Young", 1836, and again in the third edition of Mayo's "Selection of Hymns and Poetry for the Use of Infant and Juvenile Schools", 1846, and in both instances without signature. There is no evidence which justifies in ascribing the authorship with certainty to Thrupp. The hymn is in the Leed's "S. S. Union Hymn Book", 1833-78, and several others.

paragraph: "Poor and needy though I be" was a hymn regarding Divine Providence. It appeared in Thrupp's "Hymns for the Young", fourth edition, 1836, Number 22; and again in Mayo's "Selection of Hymns", second edition, 1840, and signed "D. A. T.".

paragraph: "See, my child, the mighty ocean" was a hymn regarding love of God compared to the sea. It was given in the R.T.S.'s "Hymns for the Young", fourth edition, 1836, Number 26, and in Mayo's "Selection of Hymns", first edition, 1838, and signed "D. A. T." In Kennedy, 1863, it begins "Have you seen the mighty ocean."

paragraph: "Thou Guardian of my earliest days" was a hymn about Jesus, the children's friend. It was traced to Thrupp's "Hymns for the Young", fourth edition, 1836. It is sometimes given as "Thou Guardian of our earliest days."

paragraph: "What a strange and wondrous story" was a hymn about the life and death of Jesus. It was found without signature in her "Hymns for the Young", fourth edition, 1836, and again in Mayo's "Selections", 1838, Number 17.1, in four stanzas of 4 1. There is no authority for ascribing it to Thrupp. In the "Ch. S, S. Hymn Book", (no date), eight lines have been added as a concluding stanza by an unknown author.

paragraph: "What led the Son of God!" was a hymn relating to the lore of God in Christ. This appeared anonymously in her "Hymns for the Young", 1830, and again in the Leeds "S. S. Union Hymn Book", 1833. In more modern collections, it was attributed to Thrupp on the ground that it was found in the "Hymns for the Young", which she edited.

paragraph: "Who are they in heaven who stand!" was a hymn about All Saints. It was published in Mayo's "Selections", third edition, 1846, Number 64, in five stanzas of 4 1., and signed "A. D. T." It is in the "Methodist Sunday School Hymnbook", 1879, and others.

paragraph: Several additional hymns to those named above have also been attributed to Thrupp on insufficient authority. This has probably arisen out of the fact that all the hymns in the "Hymns for the Young", including her own, were given anonymously.

paragraph: Alan (sometimes Alan II of Brittany or Alan III of Nantes) (born after 981, died 990) was the only known son of Guerech, Duke of Brittany, and Aremberg. With his mother he founded the castle of Ancenis around 987, according to the "Chronicle of Nantes". In 988, he succeeded his father as Count of Nantes and perhaps nominal Duke of Brittany, after his father was murdered by Count Conan I of Rennes. The following two years were marked by endless warfare between Rennes and Nantes. In 990, Alan died, either of an illness or else killed by Conan, who took Nantes and had himself proclaimed Duke of Brittany by the bishop of Nantes, Orscand de Vannes.

paragraph: Daniel Harrwitz

paragraph: Daniel Harrwitz (29 April 1823 – 9 January 1884) was a German chess master.

paragraph: Harrwitz was born in Breslau (Wrocław) in the Prussian Province of Silesia. He established his reputation in Paris, particularly as a player of blindfold games. He lost a match in England to Howard Staunton in 1846 at odds of a pawn and two moves, and drew a match with Adolf Anderssen in Germany in 1848.

paragraph: Harrwitz lived in England from 1849, and founded the "British Chess Review". In 1856 he moved to Paris, where he won a match against Jules Arnous de Rivière. In 1858 he played a match against Paul Morphy in Paris. Harrwitz won the first two games, but lost the match 5½-2½. Harrwitz withdrew from the match, allegedly on grounds of ill health. He subsequently retired to the Austro-Hungarian county of Tyrol, dying in Bolzano in 1884.

paragraph: Section::::Game against Morphy.

paragraph: Although he had a negative record against Morphy, he was one of a few masters who beat Morphy with the black pieces. Here is one of his wins in Paris in 1858:

paragraph: Daniel Yanofsky

paragraph: Daniel Abraham Yanofsky, (March 25, 1925 – March 5, 2000) was Canada's first chess grandmaster, an eight-time Canadian Chess Champion, a chess writer, chess arbiter, and lawyer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Yanofsky was born to a Jewish family in Brody, Poland (now western Ukraine), and moved to Canada when he was eight months old, settling with his family in Winnipeg.

paragraph: Section::::Life in chess.

paragraph: Section::::Life in chess.:Early successes.

paragraph: He learned to play chess at the age of eight. Yanofsky won his first Manitoba provincial championship at age 12 in 1937, also making his debut in the Closed Canadian Chess Championship that same year in Toronto. In 1939, just 14 years old, he played for Canada at the Buenos Aires Olympiad. Yanofsky was the sensation of the tournament, making the highest score on second board. He won his first Canadian Chess Championship in 1941 at age 16, at home in Winnipeg. He won at Ventnor City 1942 with 6.5/9, and tied 1st-2nd with Herman Steiner on 16/17 in the 1942 U.S. Open at Dallas.

paragraph: Section::::Life in chess.:First Commonwealth GM.

paragraph: In 1946, at age 21, Yanofsky entered the first top-class post-war tournament, at Groningen, and defeated Soviet champion and tournament winner Mikhail Botvinnik, winning the brilliancy prize. During the next two years, he played several more European events, where his best result was second place behind Miguel Najdorf at Barcelona 1946. Yanofsky represented Canada at the Interzonals held in Saltsjöbaden 1948 and Stockholm 1962. He won the British Championship in 1953. At Dallas 1957 chess tournament, Yanofsky achieved his first grandmaster norm with wins over Samuel Reshevsky, Friðrik Ólafsson and Larry Evans. His performance at the Tel Aviv 1964 Olympiad earned him his second grandmaster norm, and the title, thereby becoming the first grandmaster raised in the British Commonwealth.

paragraph: Section::::Life in chess.:Eight-time Canadian champion.

paragraph: Yanofsky, winner in 1941, repeated as Canadian Champion in 1943, 1945, 1947, 1953, 1959, 1963, and 1965; his eight titles is a Canadian record (tied with Maurice Fox).

paragraph: Section::::Life in chess.:Eleven Olympiad appearances.

paragraph: He represented Canada at eleven Olympiads: (Buenos Aires 1939, 2nd board, {13.5/16}, Amsterdam 1954 1st board, {9/17}, Munich 1958, 1st board, {5.5/11}, Tel Aviv 1964, 1st board, {10/16}, Havana 1966, 1st board, {3.5/5}, Lugano 1968, 1st board, {6/14}, Siegen 1970, 1st board, {7/14}, Skopje 1972, 2nd board, {6/13}, Nice 1974, 3rd board, {7/14}, Haifa 1976, 3rd board, {3.5/10}, and La Valletta 1980), 3rd board, {6/11}). His Olympiad totals are: (+50 =54 -37), for 54.6 per cent. His eleven Olympiad appearances is surpassed among Canadians only by IM Lawrence Day (thirteen). His total of 141 games played in Olympiads is the Canadian record among men, second only to Nava Starr's 147.

paragraph: Section::::Life in chess.:Further tournament successes.

Yanofsky placed second at Hastings 1951-52 behind Svetozar Gligorić, and second at Netanya 1968 behind Robert Fischer.

paragraph: Section::::Life in chess.:Later years.

paragraph: Yanofsky had the lead organizer role for Canada's first supergrandmaster tournament at Winnipeg 1967, to mark Canada's Centennial, and also played in the tournament, winning the Brilliancy Prize for his victory over László Szabó. The Winnipeg tournament was jointly won by Bent Larsen and Klaus Darga.

paragraph: Yanofsky earned the FIDE International Arbiter title in 1977. He played in his final Canadian Championship in 1986 at age 61 at home in Winnipeg, and qualified for another Interzonal appearance, placing tied 3rd-5th with 9.5/15, but generously ceded that opportunity in favour of a younger player. He returned to Groningen in 1996 for the 50th anniversary reunion tournament among the 1946 event's surviving players. Following Yanofsky's death in 2000, an annual Memorial Tournament has been held in Winnipeg to honor his wide-ranging contributions to Canadian chess.

paragraph: Section::::Education, naval service, and professional legal career.
