paragraph: George Dyer (poet)

paragraph: George Dyer (1755–1841) was an English classicist, poet and editor.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was educated at Christ's Hospital, and attended Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He edited the "Delphin Classics", a 143-volume set of Latin works published by Abraham John Valpy at which task his editorial labors were so excessive as to induce near total blindness. He also wrote poetry, and authored a number of tracts on the plight of England's poor and on reform of the political system.

paragraph: Section::::Radical.

paragraph: He shared many ideas with radical writers of the time. His doctrine of benevolence advised a moral obligation to the poor, during a time when the interest in the lower classes was subsiding. He influenced authors such as William Godwin, but also gave critical and moral support to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth.

paragraph: Nicholas Roe's chapter on Dyer in "The politics of nature: Wordsworth and some contemporaries" shows Dyer to have been an important model for Wordsworth and Coleridge in the way he brought politics to bear on the poetry of nature and imagination. Dyer's influence represents, for Roe the answer to current historians who believe that the Romantics turned their backs on history in their search for a transcendent nature. The poet thus seems to have revenged himself on claims of insignificance.

paragraph: Section::::Anecdotes.

paragraph: There are a number of stories associated with George Dyer, particularly regarding his myopia and his eccentricities. These stories were told by his friends James Henry Leigh Hunt and Charles Lamb. Lamb in his Elia essay "Amicus Redivivus" relates an incident in which Dyer, after a visit to the Lamb household in Islington, walked the wrong way on the pathway and went right into the New River, nearly drowning himself in the process. Leigh Hunt tells a similar story regarding Dyer, in which after spending the evening at the Hunts' for dinner, he inadvertently left with only one shoe. Apparently Dyer's missing shoe went unnoticed by him until he arrived home and he returned to the Hunt household after midnight, awakening everyone, to retrieve his missing shoe which was finally located under a table.

paragraph: Another incident relating to Dyer concerns a preface which he wrote for his Poems published in 1802. On rereading one of the first prints of his book, Dyer claimed that there was a significant error in reasoning contained on the first page of the preface. He rushed to the printer and had a number of prints redone at considerable expense.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Compositions by George Dyer include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Poems" (London, 1792)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Complaints of the Poor People of England" (London 1793)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Poems and Critical Essays" (London, 1802)

paragraph: Gaston VII, Viscount of Béarn

paragraph: Gaston VII de Montcada () (1225 – 26 April 1290), called Froissard, was the twentieth Viscount of Béarn from 1229. He was the son and heir of Guillermo II de Montcada and Garsenda, daughter of Alfonso II of Provence and Garsenda of Forcalquier. He was succeeded by Roger Bernard III of Foix

paragraph: Section::::Regulating the governance.

paragraph: On the domestic front, Gaston issued a series of "fueros", part of the Fors de Bearn, for each of the Béarnais valleys. He issued two for Aspe, one in 1247 and another in 1250. In that same year Gaston declared his second daughter, Margaret, to be the heir of Béarn, but his third daughter and her powerful husband, Geraud VI of Armagnac, would not accept it. Towards the end of his life he reneged and declared as his heir his youngest daughter, Guillemette, but upon his death Béarn was seized by Margaret's husband, Roger-Bernard III of Foix.

paragraph: Section::::Order of the Faith and Peace.

paragraph: Gaston was highly reputed as a warrior, staunch defender of the Béarnais, ally of the French, and enemy of the English. A powerful and independent figure in Gascony, he was the first major patron of the Order of the Faith and Peace. He was defeated and captured by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, in 1248. In 1250 he was brought to England with Simon, who pardoned him there.

paragraph: Section::::Imprisonment.

paragraph: However, in 1252 Gaston once more rebelled when he allied with Alfonso X of Castile, who had laid claim to the Duchy of Gascony. This time Henry III pursued a diplomatic strategy; he arranged a marriage between his son Edward and Alfonso's daughter Eleanor. Fourteen-year-old Edward was then granted the Duchy by his father. In January 1276 Gaston surrendered to Edward and was imprisoned at Winchester. Three years later he made an agreement with Edward whereby his lands were restored.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Between 1245 and 1250 Gaston married Martha of Marsan (or Amata of Mastas; died 1270/3), Viscountess of Marsan, daughter of Boson de Mathe, lord of Cognac, and Petronilla of Bigorre. The couple had four children, all daughters:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Constance (died 1310), succeeded in Marsan and Bigorre. Married firstly, on 23 March 1260, to the Aragonese "infante" Alfonso, son of James the Conqueror, who died 26 March; married secondly, on 15 May 1269, to Henry of Almain, son of Richard of Cornwall; and married thirdly, in 1279, to Aymon II of Geneva

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret, succeeded in Béarn. Married, in 1252, to Roger-Bernard III de Foix

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mathe, married Gerald VI, Count of Armagnac in 1260

paragraph: BULLET::::- Guillelme (or Guillemette; died 1309), affianced in 1270 to Sancho IV of Castile, annulled 1281; married, in 1291, to the Aragonese "infante" Peter (1275–1296), son of Peter the Great

paragraph: Widowed, Gaston married again on 2 April 1273 to Beatrice (c. 1237–1310), daughter of Peter II of Savoy and Agnès de Faucigny, widow of Guigues VII of Viennois

paragraph: Demetrius, Duke of Imereti

paragraph: Demetrius (, "Demetre") (died 1455) was a Georgian royal prince of the Bagrationi dynasty. He was a duke of Imereti, with intermissions, from 1401 to 1455.

paragraph: Demetrius was a son of King Alexander I of Imereti (died 1389), who had broken away from the Kingdom of Georgia during Timur's invasions of that country in 1387. After his uncle, King George I, was killed in 1392, Demetrius was carried away by another his uncle, Constantine, to seek refuge in the Caucasian mountains. They were able to return to Imereti in 1396, when Constantine was proclaimed king. He died childless in 1401, leaving the throne to the young and weak Demetrius. His accession was prevented, however, by King George VII of Georgia, who, once freed from a protracted war with Timur, invaded Imereti. The Dadiani of Mingrelia and Imeretian nobles captured Demetrius and delivered him to George, who treated him with consideration and sent him to a safe retreat in Somkhiti, in Kartli. Alexander I of Georgia, who married Demetrius's sister Tamar c. 1415, restored him to Imereti as a vassal "eristavi" ("duke"). He remained loyal to the Georgian crown and died in 1455.

paragraph: A claim by the early-18th-century Georgian historian, Prince Vakhushti, that Bagrat VI, the forefather of the subsequent dynasty of Imeretian kings, was Demetrius's son is false. The version was adopted by Marie-Félicité Brosset in the 19th century and survived into the 20th. It has been rejected by a number of scholars and Cyril Toumanoff eventually elucidated Bagrat's true origin as a grandson of Constantine I of Georgia.

paragraph: Sigrid Brahe

paragraph: Sigrid Brahe (1568-1608), was a Swedish countess, known for the great scandal "Onsdagsbröllopet" (The Wednesday Wedding) in 1595.

paragraph: Sigrid Brahe was the daughter of count Per Brahe the Elder and Beata Stenbock and niece of queen dowager Catherine Stenbock, and sister of Erik Brahe (1552–1614), Gustaf Brahe (1558–1615), Margareta Brahe (1559–1638), Magnus Brahe (1564–1633) and Abraham Brahe (1569–1630). After the death of queen Catherine Jagiellon in 1583, king John III of Sweden had plans to marry her, but gave up the plan in consideration for the opposition of his siblings and instead married Gunilla Bielke in 1585. Instead, her family engaged her to count Erik Bielke af Åkerö upon the wish of the family and queen Gunilla Bielke. The engagement was made against the will of Sigrid Brahe, who was in love with baron Johan Nilsson Gyllenstierna.

paragraph: When she was made aware of the gossip that her betrothed had been given a venereal decease i Poland, she fled to the court of Princess Anna at Stegeborg Castle and placed herself under the protection. Shortly thereafter, Gyllenstierna arrived at Stegeborg. The same day, the 19 March 1595, Princess Anna ordered her court to assemble in her chapel: she had the envoy of her brother King Sigismund escort Gyllenstierna to the chapel, while she herself escorted Brahe: they took the couple to the altar, and before they eyes of her astonished court, she had her vicar conduct a wedding ceremony.

paragraph: This became a great scandal: by placing the feelings of two individuals before that of their families, Anna had helped them violate, as her contemporaries viewed it, the rights of their families. The families of both Brahe and Gyllenstierna protested as well as the Bielke family, who made demands on the life of Johan Gyllenstierna. In vain, Anna asked her uncle Duke Charles to protect the couple. Eventually, Anna managed to mediate between the families.

paragraph: On Riksdag of 1595 in Söderköping, the feud was ended: Sigrid Brahe and Johan Gyllenstierna were sentenced to one year house arrest in their country estate and fined for two thousand riksdaler: one thousand to the poor and the other half to Bielke.

paragraph: Khawaja Muhammad Zaman of Luari

paragraph: Khawaja Muhammad Zaman of Luari (1713 - 1775 AD : 1125 - 1188 AH) () was a sufi saint and poet from Sindh. His father, Shaikh Abdul Latif Siddiqi, was a descendant of first Rashidun Caliph Abu Bakr. Their forefathers had moved to Sindh in Abbasid era.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Shaikh Abdul Latif was follower of the Naqshbandi sufi sect so Muhammad Zaman learned Quran and Sufi teachings from his father. Then he was sent to Thatta to study further in the Madrassa of Shaikh Muhammad Sadiq Naqshbandi who was a follower of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. During this time he met Khawaja Abul Masakin, who was a sufi saint and a follower of the Sirhandi saints, and left the madrassa of Muhammad Sadiq Naqshbandi to start sufi training under Abul Masakin from whom he later earneded the title of Sultan Al Aoliya (Master of Sufis). After some time Abul Masakin appointed him his successor and himself went to Mecca for Hajj where he died shortly afterwards. Muhammad Zaman then started preaching sufism, training people in the path of divine love. By this time he was a complete Sheikh. Later, Muhammad Zaman moved to his home town Luari and continued his preachings, where he attracted masses of people around him.

paragraph: Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, a sufi poet himself, once came to Luari to meet Muhammad Zaman. After the meeting Latif is said to have repeatedly recited this verse in praise of Muhammad Zaman:

paragraph: He died on January 6, 1775 AD (Dhul-Qadh 4, 1188 AH), and his tomb is in Luari, Sindh.

paragraph: Section::::Poetry.

paragraph: Muhammad Zaman was also a sufi poet. Though he is said to have said hundreds of poems but only 85 have been available in written form. A collection of these poems is "Abyat Sindhi" (Sindhi poems). Shaikh Abdul Rahim Garhori, one of his disciples, has written a comprehensive commentary and explanation of these poems, called "Sharah Abyat Sindhi". They reflect deep mysteries of sufism and general common sense. Though he was a Naqshbandi and all Naqshbandi sufis follow Wahdat-ash-Shuhūd he seems to have merged Wahdat-ash-Shuhūd and Wahdat-al-Wujūd in his poetry. He says:

paragraph: This implies that claim of Mansoor "Ana-al-Haqq" (I am God : Haqq is a name of God in Islam) was not pointless as he had discovered the fact that his existence and that of universe was nothing but the manifestation of God's attributes, as yarn is nothing but cotton, therefore Mansoor should not be killed. At some other point he says in favour of Shuhūd:

paragraph: Means waves have no real existence of their own and are merely movement in water, in the same way, while the universe does not have its own existence, it is not the same as God. But generally it is considered that he was neither on side of Wahdat-al-Shuhūd completely nor in complete favour of Wahdat-al-Wujūd, instead he combined both ideologies to show that the differences in between them were merely of words and not real.

paragraph: P. C. "Pete" Pearson

paragraph: Peter C. "Pete" Pearson (16 January 1877 – 10 September 1929) was an Australian born game ranger and elephant hunter in East Africa.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Pearson was born in Melbourne in 1877, he was educated at Caulfield Grammar School but could not settle into a life in Melbourne and at the age of 18 he left home and travelled Australia in search of adventure. In those years Pearson travelled throughout Australia extensively, working in various occupations including as a surveyor's assistant in Gippsland, a shearer in New South Wales and Queensland and a miner at Broken Hill.

paragraph: In order to reach the Boer War, in 1900 Pearson volunteered as an ordinary seaman on a ship to get to South Africa. Upon arrival at Durban the crew simply laughed at his request to be let ashore so he decided to swim, having swam he noticed a shark's fin making a beeline towards him, after some struggles he managed to clasp a piece of driftwood and paddle ashore, several sharks menacingly circling him the entire way. Upon arrival in South Africa, Pearson managed to join a cavalry regiment towards the end the war.

paragraph: After the Boer War, Pearson remained in Africa, sailing to Kenya he arrived in Mombasa in 1903. A short time later he decided to hunt elephant professionally, travelling to Uganda he initially hunted in the Masindi district but the found the newly imposed game laws limiting hunters to three elephant a year too restricting to make a living.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Professional hunter.:"Gentleman adventurer" of the Lado.

paragraph: In 1904 Pearson met the veteran elephant hunter Bill Buckley who told Pearson of the large herds of elephant that could be poached with relative impunity in the largely un-policed Lado Enclave, Pearson immediately agreed to join Buckley on an expedition there that year. Whilst his partnership with Buckley did not last beyond that first expedition, the pair saw many elephant, on morning encountering a herd they estimated to number 2,000 animals. Pearson continued to hunt solo in the Lado Enclave until 1910, when the territory returned to British rule following the death of King Leopold II of Belgium.

paragraph: The illegal hunters in the Lado made great use of Belgium's inadequate administration of the territory, as well as the Belgian authorities' mistreatment of the native inhabitants. Typically the hunters of the Lado earned the loyalty and friendship of the local tribesmen by offering them the meat from the elephant they killed, and in exchange the tribesmen provided warning of movements of the Belgian patrols, some essential food supplies and porters to assist in transporting the harvested ivory back to Uganda. In 1909, Theodore Roosevelt traveled to Uganda during the Smithsonian–Roosevelt African Expedition to hunt white rhinoceros, but also to meet the famed elephant hunters of the Lado. During a dinner in Koba with those hunters who were available, including Pearson, Roosevelt offered a toast "to the ivory poachers of the Lado Enclave", upon hearing the good humoured protests of some of those present, Roosevelt reworded the toast "to the company of gentlemen adventurers".

paragraph: Pearson typically organised his illegal hunting expeditions from Koba, a British administrative post on the opposite bank of the Nile from the Lado Enclave. The illegal hunters of the Lado typically earned £3,000 to £4,000 profit from a six month poaching expedition into the territory and Pearson was considered one of the most successful of them, amassing a small fortune. Upon the imposition of British administrative rule of the Lado Enclave, Pearson recommenced licensed elephant hunting, hunting in the Belgian Congo predominantly in the Ituri forest and later in Ubangi-Shari, the authorities in Belgian and French controlled territories still issued commercial hunting licences for between 20 to 30 elephants.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Professional hunter.:World War I.

paragraph: With the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, the British government were concerned the German authorities in German East Africa would arm local tribes and cause dissatisfaction amongst the native tribespeople. The British Army requested the services of men with extensive knowledge of the East African bush and experience in dealing with local tribesmen, Pearson readily enlisted. Pearson was given the honorary rank of Lieutenant in the East Africa Protectorate's Intelligence Department, he served out the war in this capacity.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Professional hunter.:Post-war hunting.

paragraph: After World War I Pearson returned to hunting, initially in Tanganyika (the former German East Africa) where licences for up to 25 elephants could be obtained, then later when these too were outlawed, he returned to Uganda. Despite having earned a great deal of money during his time poaching in the Lado, Pearson had little experience in saving or investing money and he fell upon hard times, making a meager living from the ivory he harvested from the few licences he could obtain to shoot elephant in the British territories.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Game warden.

paragraph: In an effort to combat the destruction to cropping and fencing caused by elephant that prevented the development of agriculture, in 1924 the Ugandan Government created the Uganda Game Department. The Ugandan Protectorate was divided into four large districts and a white hunter with extensive experience, along with a large native staff, was recruited as a game warden to control the elephant numbers in each district, all under the direction of chief game warden Captain C.R.S. Pitman. Pearson was recruited, along with Captain R.J.D. "Samaki" Salmon, Captain C.K.D. Palmer-Kerrison and fellow veteran of the Lado enclave F.G. "Deaf" Banks. Pearson was assigned the West Nile province which included the southern part of the old Lado Enclave, an area he knew intimately, and a salary of £50 a month, to further improve their lot in 1925 the Governor of Uganda, Sir William Gowers, made them Colonial Civil Servants by official decree, ensuring a lifetime pension.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Game warden.:Royal guide.

paragraph: In 1924 Pearson, along with Samaki Salmon, accompanied the safari for the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother) as hunting guides during their visit to Uganda. In 1928 Pearson, again with Salmon, was charged with organising an 8 day hunting safari for the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) during the Uganda leg of his East African royal tour. On the last day of the safari the royal party were following the tracks of a bull elephant near the Murchison Falls when they were charged by another rogue bull, Pearson grabbed the Prince and flung him to safety (into a thorn bush) then he and Salmon fired simultaneously at the elephant, which crashed dead to ground from the Prince. Sir William Gowers later wrote "it was an exhibition of presence of mind, quickness and courage which I am glad to have been privileged to witness, and which none of those who saw it will ever forget." The Prince gave Pearson a royal tie pin and cufflinks as mementoes of the occasion.

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

paragraph: In the summer of 1929 Pearson became ill and tests revealed he had stomach cancer. Pearson had confided in Sir William Gowers that upon his death he would like a small monument to his memory in the Bakumi district on an escarpment that overlooks Lake Albert at a place beside the road between Masindi and Butiaba. It was from this spot, which offers panoramic views of the area, that Pearson used to sit and look for elephants through field glasses. After a short illness, Pearson died in the Kampala hospital on 10 September 1929, Sir William honoured Pearson's request and, upon consulting the Prince of Wales, established a fund for those who wished to contribute to Pearson's memorial, many people including the Prince of Wales contributed and the monument was erected.

paragraph: Section::::Description.

paragraph: Section::::Description.:Physique.

paragraph: Pearson was said to be a tall, heavily build man, standing over tall, who sported an enormous moustache. Pearson, like the other hunters of Lado, was a fit man, always hunting on foot, he would walk between a day following a single bull elephant.

paragraph: Section::::Description.:Character.

paragraph: Pearson was respected and admired by his fellow hunters, but most people who knew him found him to be brusque and uncommunicative. Pearson was said to lead a spartan life, enjoying only one luxury being fine champagne, every time he returned from safari he would drink a large number bottles.

paragraph: Section::::Hunting preferences and records.

paragraph: Pearson left no detailed accounts of his hunting career and was loath to discuss the total number of elephants he shot or the largest tusks he ever harvested. It is has been estimated that over the course of his life, including his time as a poacher, legal hunter and elephant control officer, he shot as many as 2,000 elephant over his life, making him one of the most experienced elephant hunters of all time. Pearson shot one bull elephant in the Lado Enclave with tusks that weighed respectively, whilst Pearson told the Prince of Wales that in the Lado he shot a total of three bull elephants with tusks that weighed over each. A cow elephant Pearson shot had the heaviest tusks ever recorded for a cow, respectively, the tusks from that cow ended up in the Natural History Museum, London.

paragraph: Throughout the majority of his career Pearson hunted elephant with a .577 Nitro Express ejector double rifle with barrels, as well as a 6.5×57mm Mauser for smaller game and occasionally elephant. In later years became an enthusiast of bolt action rifles, he used a .350 Rigby, a .404 Jeffery , a .416 Rigby and a .425 Westley Richards, although his favourite became a .375 H&H Magnum he had custom-made by John Rigby & Co.

paragraph: Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr

paragraph: Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr (; died 691) was an Arab military commander of the second Islamic civil war. He was a younger brother of Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr and a son of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. After the establishment of the Mecca-based, counter-caliphate of his brother, he led an unsuccessful campaign against Umayyad-held Palestine. Later he served as governor of Basra from 686 to 691, with brief interruption. He killed the pro-Alid revolutionary Mukhtar al-Thaqafi in 687 and came to control the whole of Iraq. His policies in Iraq caused his removal from the office by his elder brother, but was restored shortly afterwards. He was killed by the Umayyad forces in the Battle of Maskin four years later.

paragraph: Section::::Family, early life and career.

paragraph: Mus'ab was the son of al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, a prominent companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and mother al-Rabab bint Unayf, a daughter of a chieftain of the Banu Kalb tribe. During the last years of the Umayyad caliph Mu'awiya I (), Mus'ab was part of a group that met together in the mosque of Medina, likely to study religion. The group included, among others, Mus'ab's half-brother Urwa and the later Umayyad caliph, Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan. Mus'ab, like many of his brothers, inherited property from their father in the city's al-Baqi' area and he had a home there.

paragraph: Mus'ab had several children from a number of wives and slave women ("ummahat awlad"; sing: "umm walad"). From one of his wives, a certain Fatima bint Abd Allah, he had his sons Isa al-Kabir, Ukasha and a daughter, Sukayna. He also wed A'isha, a daughter of Talha ibn Ubaydallah, another prominent companion of Muhammad; she mothered his sons Muhammad and Abd Allah. He had a daughter, al-Rabab, from his wife, Sukayna, a daughter of the prophet Muhammad's grandson, Husayn ibn Ali. From various "ummahat awlad", he had the sons Hamza, Asim, Umar, Ja'far, Mus'ab (also known as Khudayr), Sa'd, al-Mundhir, Isa al-Saghir, and a daughter, Sukayna.

paragraph: When Mus'ab's older half-brother, Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, established a Mecca-based, counter-caliphate to the Syria-centered Umayyad Caliphate in 683, Mus'ab commanded an expedition against Umayyad-held Palestine in 684/685. It was repulsed by the Umayyad prince Amr ibn Sa'id al-Ashdaq. He was later appointed as governor of Medina.

paragraph: Section::::Governor of Iraq.

paragraph: With the death of the Umayyad caliph Yazid in November 683, Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr was recognized caliph in most of the caliphate except Syria, where the Umayyad Muawiyah II, and shortly afterwards Marwan, held power. In 685, the pro-Alid revolutionary Mukhtar al-Thaqafi seized Kufa after expelling its Zubayrid governor. As a result, Zubayrid authority in Iraq was restricted to Basra and its surroundings. At the same time, Kharijite raids in eastern Iraq intensified. To recover Kufa from Mukhtar and defeat the Kharijites, Ibn al-Zubayr appointed Mus'ab governor of Basra in 686. In his inaugural sermon in the mosque he declared: "People of al-Basrah, I have been told that you nickname your commanders. I have named myself 'al-Jazzir' (the Slaughterer)."

paragraph: Section::::Governor of Iraq.:Defeat of Mukhtar.

paragraph: Previously a Zubayrid ally in the Hejaz, Mukhtar abandoned Ibn al-Zubayr after Yazid's death and returned to his home town Kufa, capturing it from the Zubayrids with his Arab and "mawali" (non-Arab, Muslim freedmen) supporters. Soon afterwards he crushed a rebellion by Arab tribal nobles resentful of the "mawali", resulting in an exodus of some ten thousand Kufans to Basra. Persuaded by the refugees to take immediate action against Mukhtar, Mus'ab discontinued his campaign against the Kharijites and marched on Kufa. In an attempted pre-emptive strike, Mukhtar sent his army to Basra, but it was defeated at the Battle of Madhar, just north of Basra. Mus'ab pursued and annihilated the retreating Kufans in the Battle of Harura, a few miles from Kufa. Mukhtar and his remaining supporters took refuge in the palace of Kufa and were besieged by Mus'ab. Four months later, in April 687, Mukhtar was killed in an attempted sortie. Between 6,000–8,000 of his supporters surrendered, but Mus'ab gave way to pressure from the tribal nobles and executed all of them.

paragraph: With the defeat of Mukhtar, all of Iraq came under Mus'ab's control. He appointed his commander Muhallab ibn Abi Sufra as governor of Mosul and its dependencies. Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr soon deposed Mus'ab after receiving complaints from the province, and sent his son Hamza as his replacement. The latter proved incompetent and Mus'ab was reinstated.

paragraph: Section::::Governor of Iraq.:Standoff with Abd al-Malik.

paragraph: Meanwhile, Marwan died in 685 and was succeeded by his son Abd al-Malik. In the summer of 689, Abd al-Malik marched towards Iraq and camped at Butnan Habib, a border post between Syria and Iraq. Mus'ab awaited him at Bajumayra near Tikrit, but Abd al-Malik abandoned the campaign on receiving the news of Al-Ashdaq's revolt in Damascus. In 690, preparations were again made for war and the two encamped at their respective positions from the previous year. This year too, no fighting took place and the arrival of winter forced them to retreat. Nevertheless, Abd al-Malik sent his agents to Basra to instigate a revolt against Mus'ab. With promises of reward, Abd al-Malik's agents were able to secure significant support, and clashed with pro-Zubayrid forces at a place called Jufra. The battle lasted for several weeks, but the arrival of reinforcements sent by Mus'ab decided it in his favor. Abd al-Malik's supporters, nonetheless, were allowed to withdraw before the arrival of Mus'ab, who, once back in the city, severely punished any remaining Umayyad loyalists.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: In 691, Abd al-Malik once again marched on Iraq and camped at Maskin, deep into Iraqi territory. Mus'ab left Kufa and camped at his usual place of Bajumayra. Because of Mus'ab's severity in dealing with Mukhtar and Abd al-Malik's supporters, the Iraqis in general had turned against him and he could not amass a large army. Moreover, half of his troops were left in Basra to protect the city from the Kharijites. Abd al-Malik contacted Mus'ab's commanders and won over most of them with promises of money and governorships. Ibrahim ibn al-Ashtar, who also had been contacted by Abd al-Malik, reported the matter to Mus'ab, suggesting that commanders in correspondence with Abd al-Malik should be executed. Fearing that executing influential tribal nobles would cause revolt in his ranks, Mus'ab did not pay heed to the warning and kept his commanders in their posts. With the death of Ibn al-Ashtar early in the battle, Mus'ab's fate was sealed. The rest of his commanders either refused to fight or defected to Abd al-Malik. Considering his old friendship with Mus'ab, Abd al-Malik offered him amnesty and promised him the governorship of Iraq on the condition of surrender and allegiance. Mus'ab refused and kept fighting almost alone. Severely wounded, he was killed by Za'ida ibn Qudama al-Thaqafi, a follower of Mukhtar, who shouted "Revenge for Mukhtar!". Mus'ab's head was cut off and presented to Abd al-Malik, who lamented his death. He was 36 years old. He was buried in Dayr al-Jathaliq and a mausoleum was built over his grave, which became a pilgrimage site.

paragraph: Section::::Personality.

paragraph: He is described to have been very handsome, generous and chivalrous. According to historian Henri Lammens "[H]e resembled his older brother

paragraph: and the Zubayrid family only in his courage and outbursts of severity in repression." According to historian Michael Fishbein and medieval historian Baladhuri, the title "al-Jazzir" (the butcher) that Mus'ab applied to himself, in fact referred to his habit of slaughtering camels to feed his guests. In Iraq, he built a dyke to prevent the flooding of marshlands, but appropriated the lands thus acquired for himself. He is also reported to have been fond of women. According to Lammens, Mus'ab's elder brother Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr was unmoved by his death, and complained about his philogyny, rudeness and his behavior towards his opponents, whom he would award insulting titles. The account of al-Tabari and Fishbein's commentary thereof, however, describe Abd Allah being deeply saddened by Mus'ab's death and implying his own downfall as a result of this loss.

paragraph: Cooper Rush

paragraph: Cooper Rush (born November 21, 1993) is an American football quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Central Michigan University.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Rush is from Charlotte, Michigan and is the son of Frances Rush and Matthew Rush. He attended Lansing Catholic High School in Lansing, Michigan with an enrollment of just over 500 students, where he became a three-year starter at quarterback for the football team. He also practiced basketball and baseball (until his freshman year).

paragraph: In 2010 and 2011, he led his team to back-to-back undefeated regular seasons. In 2011, he led his team to the state runner-up title. In the Division 5 regional championship game against Dowagiac Union High School, he set Michigan state records with 5 touchdown passes in one quarter and 8 for the game. The team would end up losing in the finals against Powers Catholic High School 26–56, even though he registered 300 passing yards and 3 touchdowns.

paragraph: As a senior he received All-State, Associated Press’ Michigan Division 5/6 Player of the Year and ESPN’s Michigan Gatorade Player of the Year honors.

paragraph: He finished his high school career throwing for 7,248 passing yards (455-for-734, 62 percent), 80 passing touchdowns, 1,438 rushing yards and 27 rushing touchdowns. He holds Michigan high school records for most touchdowns in a half (7) and a season (48).

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Rush accepted his only football scholarship offer, which came from Central Michigan University, where he became a four-year starter at quarterback.

paragraph: In his redshirt season, he was named the school’s Scout Team Player of the Year. As a freshman, although he began the season as the third-string quarterback, he was named the starter by the third game, after Cody Kater was injured (collarbone fracture) and his backup Alex Niznak couldn't move the offense against the University of New Hampshire. In that contest he came in the second quarter and helped engineer a 24–21 come from behind victory, where he tallied 326 passing yards and 3 touchdowns, tying the school record for the longest in history (97 yards). He would never relinquish the position or miss a start after the game.

paragraph: As a sophomore, he played in the 2014 Bahamas Bowl against Western Kentucky. By the middle of the third quarter, his team had fallen behind 49–14, but scored 4 unanswered touchdowns and were down by only 7 points near the end of the fourth quarter. With one second remaining on the contest, Central Michigan had the ball on their own 25 yard line. The would be final play started with a 45-yard Hail Mary pass from Rush to wide receiver Jesse Kroll. As Kroll was being tackled he lateraled the ball to teammate Deon Butler, who ran 20 yards before lateraling to Courtney Williams. With no space to run, Williams made a quick third lateral pass to leading receiver Titus Davis who ran the final 13 yards, scoring a touchdown that would have tied the game with a kicked extra point and sent the game into overtime, but instead Central Michigan attempted a two-point conversion for the win, which was unsuccessful. Had the try succeeded, it would have marked the largest comeback in bowl history and tied the largest comeback in any Division I game. His seven touchdown passes set an all-time record for all bowl games.

paragraph: His best season came as a junior in 2015, through the first 13 games he had 3,703 passing yards, which was a new school single-season record. He completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 3,848 total passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

paragraph: As a senior, his production dropped to 3,540 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, but with 16 interceptions and a low 59.8 completion percentage. Against Oklahoma State University, the game sparked controversy after the officials made an incorrect call that would eventually give Central Michigan the win. Oklahoma State threw the ball away to end the game and received a penalty for intentional grounding. Under college football rules, the game would have ended and Oklahoma State would have won the game. However, the officials gave Central Michigan an untimed down, and Rush threw a 51-yard Hail Mary pass to wide receiver Jesse Kroll, who made a lateral to fellow receiver Corey Willis at the 12-yard line, running for a touchdown with no time remaining for a 30–27 win. The team lost 10–55 in the 2016 Miami Beach Bowl at the end of the season.

paragraph: He finished his college career with 49 straight starts, 12,894 passing yards (12 yards short of Dan LeFevour school and conference record) and 90 touchdowns.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Coming out of Central Michigan, Rush was projected by the majority of NFL draft experts and analysts to be a seventh round pick or a priority undrafted free agent. On December 6, 2016, it was announced that Rush had accepted his invitation to the East–West Shrine Game. On January 21, 2017, Rush performed in the East–West Shrine Game for the East and completed 11 of 17 pass attempts for 97-yards in a 3–10 loss to the West. He received an invitation to the NFL combine and performed almost all of the required drills except for the bench press. He had an underwhelming lackluster performance and had some of the lowest marks at the combine. On March 20, 2017, Rush participated at Central Michigan's pro day and chose to attempt the vertical jump, broad jump, short shuttle, and three-cone drill once again. He gave a slower time in the three-cone drill (7.28), but was able to have better results in the vertical (30"), broad (8'11"), and short shuttle (4.46). He was among ten players from CMU, Northern Michigan, and Ferris State to perform combine and positional drills for scouts and team representatives from the NFL. Rush was ranked the 14th best quarterback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:2017.

paragraph: On May 12, 2017, the Dallas Cowboys signed Rush as an undrafted free agent.

paragraph: He competed with Zac Dysert throughout training camp for the job as the third-string quarterback. Rush had impressive performance throughout camp and competed with Luke McCown for a backup quarterback position after Zac Dysert suffered a herniated disc.

paragraph: Following multiple productive preseason performances in the Hall of Fame Game and the next two contests, he began to share second-team reps in practice with backup quarterback Kellen Moore before the preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. During the contest, he was given most of the time with the second-team offense and completed 12 of his 13 attempts for 115-yards and two touchdowns in a comeback 24–20 victory. He finished the preseason with a total of 38 pass completions out of 51 attempts, 398 passing yards, and six touchdown passes with no interceptions. Head coach Jason Garrett named Rush the Cowboys' third quarterback on their depth chart, behind Dak Prescott and Moore. Rush did not dress for the first five games and was a healthy scratch. Rush was promoted to second string for the sixth game of the season. Moore was then released and signed to the Cowboy's practice squad. In Week 7, in the 40–10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, he appeared late in the game in relief of Prescott. He was 1-of-3 passing for 2 yards and had 2 rushes for 13 yards in his NFL debut.

paragraph: Philippe Alliot

paragraph: Philippe Alliot (born 27 July 1954) is a former racing driver who participated in Formula One from to and from to . He raced for RAM, Ligier, Larrousse and McLaren.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Prior to his career in Formula One he competed during 1976 and 1977 in Formule Renault, and won the championship in 1978, in the BP Racing team. With said team he also won the French Formula Renault championship and went on to French Formula Three. He finished third in his first race and moved to the European Formula 3 Championship in 1980. By 1983 he moved to Formula Two but hit the headlines that year when he finished third in the Le Mans 24 Hours with Michael and Mario Andretti in a Kremer Porsche.

paragraph: Section::::Formula One.

paragraph: In 1984 Alliot joined the Skoal Bandit RAM F1 team, but did not enjoy much in the way of success. After Jacques Laffite was injured at the 1986 British Grand Prix, Alliot took his place at Ligier, where he showed an improvement. He moved to Larrousse for 1987, but returned to Ligier in 1990, gaining a reputation for accidents. This led to heavy criticism from team members, other drivers and even sports commentators, such as James Hunt calling Alliot "one of the worst Grand Prix drivers ever to drive a Grand Prix car".

paragraph: Section::::Sportscars.

paragraph: Alliot left F1 for sports car racing in the early 1990s and enjoyed considerable success with the Peugeot team, run by Jean Todt. This included third-place finishes at the 1992 and 1993 24 Hours of Le Mans.

paragraph: Section::::Return to Formula One.

paragraph: Alliot made another attempt at F1 with Larrousse in 1993, achieving the best finish of his F1 career, fifth, at the San Marino Grand Prix. The following year, he undertook a testing role with McLaren. This role led to a race at the 1994 Hungarian Grand Prix for the team as a replacement for Mika Häkkinen, while he was suspended. Qualifying 14th, he retired from the race itself. Alliot then replaced Olivier Beretta at Larrousse for the following race, the Belgian Grand Prix. Starting from 19th on the grid, he retired with engine failure and this proved to be his last race in F1. Alliot left Formula One as the driver with the most race starts who had never achieved at least one of a podium finish, a pole position, or a fastest lap.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After announcing his retirement from Formula One in 1995, he decided to try a career in politics, also did some TV commentary and competed in ice racing and the Paris–Dakar Rally, but ended running his own GT racing team.

paragraph: Cedric Bixler-Zavala

paragraph: Cedric Bixler-Zavala (born November 4, 1974) is an American singer and songwriter. He is the lead singer and lyricist of the Grammy Award-winning progressive rock band The Mars Volta and the only constant member of the post-hardcore group At the Drive-In, for which he is the lead singer and occasional guitarist. He is also the lead singer of the band Antemasque, and sings and plays guitar in his band Zavalaz.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Bixler-Zavala was born in the US to Mexican parents, Antonio-Joaquin de Zabala and Francesca Maria de Navarro. His parents were bilingual, but Bixler-Zavala says his command of proper Spanish is limited to "Spanglish." His Spanish maternal surname, Zavala, is a Castilian version of Zabala, of Basque origin. His earliest paternal ancestors on his mother's side were fishermen and traders from the Basque region of Gipuzkoa and were employed by the Spanish government as colonists to the Spanish Louisiana.

paragraph: In the early 1990s, Bixler-Zavala played drums and was a vocalist for a band named Foss which included future Texas congressman, senatorial candidate, and presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on bass.

paragraph: Section::::Artistry.

paragraph: Bixler-Zavala has a tenor voice type, with a range spanning from D2 to C7. His vocal work spans many different styles, ranging from consistent rhythmic shouts (common in his singing with At The Drive-In) to controlled falsetto and head voice singing (a familiar trademark of his singing with The Mars Volta). In 2016, it was also revealed that Bixler-Zavala developed vocal nodules, causing shows to be canceled while on tour.

paragraph: Bixler-Zavala is fond of Frank Zappaesque humor and writes in English, Spanish, and Latin. His lyrics have a wide vocabulary and often feature complicated wordplay. Bixler-Zavala also uses portmanteaus: combining existing words, or parts of words, to create a new word. The song "Noctourniquet," for example, combines "nocturnal" (active at night) and "tourniquet" (a medical device to stop bleeding). He has stated: "I love to take common sayings, pervert them, mutate them a little. So you think I am singing one thing, but when you read it, it is different."

paragraph: When performing with At the Drive-in and The Mars Volta, Bixler-Zavala is known for his eccentric on-stage behavior. He frequently does somersaults on stage, swings his microphone (once unintentionally hitting bandmate Ikey Owens in the head), throws objects such as cymbals, microphone stands, and trash cans into the audience, salsa dances, adjusts Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's effects pedals and occasionally plays the maracas.

paragraph: Section::::Solo recordings, collaborations and Zavalaz.

paragraph: Under the pseudonym "Alavaz Relxib Cirdec" ("Cedric Bixler-Zavala" backwards), Bixler-Zavala contributed a two-song single to the GSL Special 12-inch Singles Series, released in December 2005. Closer to the dub of De Facto and the ambient experimentation shown in Omar Rodríguez-López's records than the prog-rock of The Mars Volta, the two songs Bixler-Zavala has produced under this alias are entirely instrumental.

paragraph: In 2010, he commented on Facebook about the recording process:

paragraph: Late 2011 saw the release of the first 7-inch record from Bixler's new project Anywhere, a collaboration with Christian Eric Beaulieu of Triclops! and Mike Watt of The Stooges/Firehose/Minutemen. Their self-titled debut album was released by ATP Records in June 2012.

paragraph: Bixler has stated that he has been working on an album with the last Mars Volta drummer Deantoni Parks, although it remains unreleased to date.

paragraph: Since 2011 Bixler was working on another album, which he described as "mostly ballady type stuff... a very sunday morning record. Very soft". Eventually the solo project turned into a full-fledged band named Zavalaz, which features Bixler on lead vocals and guitar, Dan Elkan on guitar, Juan Alderete on bass and Gregory Rogove on drums. The band is set to play a number of West Coast tour dates throughout June, supported by Dot Hacker and EV Kain. On June 3, 2013, a snippet from song "Blue Rose of Grand Street" off their upcoming album "All the Nights We Never Met" was released on YouTube.

paragraph: Cedric has been back into the studio after reuniting with Omar Rodríguez-López due to Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, Flea, wanting them to reunite. They have now formed a supergroup together called Antemasque with ex-Mars Volta drummer Dave Elitch. The band recorded and released their debut in 2014. Fans have cited that as Flea and Dave have played with the Mars Volta prior, a Mars Volta reunion could be in the works. (Flea played bass on 2003's De-loused in the Comatorium and trumpet on 2005's Frances the Mute; Dave played with The Mars Volta from 2009 to 2010.) In February 2018, Bixler Zavala confirmed on Twitter that the Mars Volta will reunite, but later clarified that At the Drive-In activity will take precedence for the immediate future.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In 2009, Bixler-Zavala married actress and model Chrissie Carnell. The couple reside in Los Angeles, California. They had their first children, twin boys Ulysses and Xanthus, in 2013. In November 2017, he said in a pair of tweets that actor Danny Masterson had raped his wife, and that he wrote At The Drive-In's song "Incurably Innocent" about the alleged assault.

paragraph: Bixler-Zavala was a member of the Church of Scientology. Bixler-Zavala had credited Scientology with his changed attitude on the use of drugs. He attended the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre event in 2013. In 2015, Bixler-Zavala spoke about his decision to stop smoking marijuana. "I was spending $1,000 a week on weed," he said, and rationalized his use by believing it made him more creative, when he later came to realize "I was using it to form this stoned bubble that helped me justify not wanting to interact with people." However, by 2017 he had become a harsh critic of the church, calling its "self help volcano[...] as barren as a floating needle. A placebo of Sugary kool aid" and accusing it of silencing sexual assault victims and of harassing both him and his wife; in 2018, he accused it of covering up his wife's alleged sexual assault and called it "a modern-day version of "The Handmaid's Tale"".

paragraph: Bixler-Zavala's life has been heavily impacted by the deaths of people who have been in close association with him, several of which have become themes for his lyrics. Jimmy Hernandez, bass player for Los Dregtones, died of cancer in 1994. Bernie Rincon, an original drummer of At The Drive-In, committed suicide. In 1996, a close friend and bandmate of Bixler-Zavala's named Julio Venegas committed suicide. The story behind The Mars Volta's first album "De-Loused in the Comatorium" was loosely inspired by "life and death of Julio Venegas". Shortly before the release of "De-Loused", the following year in 1997, two of his bandmates of the group The Fall on Deaf Ears, Laura Beard and Sarah Reiser, died in a car accident., in May 2003, their sound manipulator and longtime friend of Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Jeremy Michael Ward, was found dead of apparent heroin overdose. In October 2014, Isaiah "Ikey" Owens, former bandmate and keyboardist for Bixler-Zavala's previous bands De Facto and The Mars Volta (the latter from 2001 to 2010), was found dead in Puebla, Mexico, while on tour with Jack White. Owens was 39 years old and his cause of death was later confirmed to be a heart attack.

paragraph: Amyt Datta

paragraph: Amyt Datta (born 20 October 1960) is a guitarist, and producer from Kolkata. He is also a popular music composer, teacher and mentor. Datta, who commands a sort of demigod status with guitar fans across the country, is widely acknowledged to be one of the most innovative guitarists around today. He toured extensively with the rock band Shiva from mid-1980's to the early 1990s. He now plays and composes for experimental band Pinknoise, pop/rock band Skinny Alley, and his own solo work, often in collaboration with Jivraj Singh.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: His father was an educationist and his mother belonged to the family with a strong musical tradition. Amyt's maternal grandfather Raichand Boral is regarded as the father of Bollywood music.

paragraph: He and his cousin started playing the guitar when they found a lap steel guitar lying around in their home. They started taking guitar lessons which was mostly in Indian classical and semi-classical music.He started taking western music theory lessons from the legendary Carlton Kitto. His first guitar was what he calls "the Trunk". It was made by his friend who took just Rs. 300 from him. It looked like a log and had a very high action.

paragraph: Section::::Musical career.

paragraph: In the late 1970s Amyt met Jayashree and Gyan Singh at the Beatstock, La Martiniere band competition. They soon became friends and longtime collaborators. By the age of 20 he was playing all over India, primarily with one of the most notable rock acts of that era called Shiva.

paragraph: Section::::D For Brother.

paragraph: Amyt along with his brother Monojit performed under the moniker D for Brother. The music was experimental, cross-cultural, unlike much of the music heard by Indian audiences at the time. An audio cassette was released in 1992 but remained unnoticed. The duo composed over a hundred songs and performed concerts filled with intricate stage and lighting design, real time sound design and subtle theatrics.

paragraph: Section::::Pop Secret / Skinny Alley.

paragraph: In the early 1990s Amyt joined Pop Secret, along with Jayashree and Gyan. Pop Secret dissolved when Jayashree and Gyan took a sabbatical leave to bring up their child Jiver. In 1996 Amyt, Jayashree and Gyan formed Skinny Alley, a pioneering indie band which released Escape The Roar (2001), the first English language album by an Indian band on a major label (EMI).
