paragraph: Henri I d'Orléans, duc de Longueville

paragraph: Henry I of Orléans-Longueville (1568 – April 8, 1595) was a French aristocrat and military and Grand Chamberlain of France between 1589 and 1595.

paragraph: He was the eldest son of Léonor d'Orléans, duc de Longueville (1540–1573) and Marie de Bourbon, duchess of Estouteville and countess of Saint-Pol (1539–1601).

paragraph: He succeeded his father in 1573 as Duke of Longueville, Prince of Neuchâtel, Count of Saint-Pol, Count of Dunois and Tancarville. On 1 March 1588, he married Catherine Gonzaga (1568–1629), daughter of Louis Gonzaga, Duke of Nevers, and had one son, Henry II. He was also governor of Picardië.

paragraph: It was in this function that he was asked by King Henry III of France to lift the siege of Senlis by Charles, Duke of Aumale. He succeeded in defeating the troops of the Catholic League in May 1589.

paragraph: When Henry III was assassinated later that year, Longueville pledged loyalty to his Protestant successor Henry IV of France and received command over the forces in Picardy and became Grand Chamberlain of France.

paragraph: Longueville died of wounds received by a musket salvo, celebrating his entry in Dourlers. Some say this was not an accident, but an assassination attempt organised by Gabrielle d'Estrées or a jealous husband.

paragraph: The funerary monument for him and his son by François Anguier, can be seen in the Louvre Museum.

paragraph: He was the loose inspiration behind the character of Longueville in William Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost".

paragraph: Hoshina Masayuki

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Hoshina Masayuki was born in Edo, the illegitimate son of the 2nd shōgun, Tokugawa Hidetada. As Masayuki's mother, Oshizu no Kata (1584–1635, later called Jōkō-in) was a servant, Hidetada chose to hide the newborn, then named Komatsu (幸松). This was to protect him from potential infanticide at the hands of Oeyo, Hidetada's wife. Komatsu was later secretly given in adoption to Hoshina Masamitsu, a former Takeda retainer, and lord of the Takatō Domain. In 1615, Komatsu first met his father (Hidetada) and step mother (Oeyo). In 1631, Komatsu inherited the Hoshina family headship, as well as the Takatō fief, and changed his name to Masayuki. Later recognized by his father and by his brother, the third shōgun Iemitsu, he was able to wield great influence in political affairs, and was to consequently see his income rating rise sharply. Masayuki became lord of the Yamagata Domain and was then moved to the Aizu domain (Mutsu Province, 230,000 "koku"), and founded the Aizu-Hoshina line (known from his son's generation onward as the Aizu-Matsudaira) which was to remain enfeoffed there until the Boshin War.

paragraph: Masayuki received great political clout with his rise in income, appointment as one of the shōgun's advisors, and regent during the minority of his nephew, the 4th shōgun Tokugawa Ietsuna. However, when offered the use of the Tokugawa crest, and the Matsudaira surname, he declined, out of respect to the Hoshina family and its retainers. The crest and surname were adopted during the lordship of his son Masakata.

paragraph: Masayuki was also a patron of Yamazaki Ansai, one of the early figures in Edo-era Japanese Neo-Confucianism, and together with him wrote the famous Aizu House Code, which included a direct injunction regarding the loyalty of the clan to the Shōgun.

paragraph: Having taken most of the steps toward self-deification, Masayuki was enshrined after his death as the kami "Hanitsu-reishin" (土津霊神), at the Hanitsu Shrine near Lake Inawashiro.

paragraph: Antoine Kambanda

paragraph: Antoine Kambanda (born 10 November 1958) is a Rwandan prelate of the Catholic Church who was named Archbishop of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kigali on 11 November 2018. Until then he had been Bishop of Kibungo since 2013. Vatican documents regularly identify him as an ethnic Tutsi.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Antoine Kambanda was born on 10 November 1958 in Rwanda. Because of inter-ethnic violence, his family moved briefly to Burundi and then to Uganda, where he attended elementary, and then to Kenya, where he attended high school. Later he returned to his homeland, where he attended the junior Seminary in Rutongo, Kigali, (1983–1984) and the Saint Charles Borromeo Major Seminary of Nyakibanda in Butare (1984–1990).

paragraph: On 8 September 1990, he was ordained a priest in Kabgayi by Pope John Paul II. After that he was Prefect of Studies from 1990 to 1993 in the minor seminary of St. Vincent in Ndera, Kigali. He then attended the Alphonsian Academy in Rome from 1993 to 1999, where he obtained a doctorate in moral theology. His parents and five of his six siblings, along with many other relatives and friends, were killed in 1994 during the genocide against the Tutsi.

paragraph: Section::::Priest.

paragraph: Kambanda was appointed Director of the diocesan office of Caritas in Kigali in 1999. He then became director of the Development Committee of the Diocese of Kigali, head of the "Justice and Peace" Commission of the diocese, and professor of moral theology and visitor at the Nyakibanda Major Seminary. Speaking in 2004 of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, Kambanda acknowledged that while some members of the Catholic clergy had tried to protect the people, others had been complicit in the killings. Kambanda noted the need for the Catholic Church itself to undergo reconstruction to shake off the effects of the genocide. He has said "the use of the sacrament of penance for reconciliation and healing of ethnic hatred and the reconciliation with oneself, with God and with the others, would be significant to develop a faith characterized by trust that overcomes the fear of the other."

paragraph: In September 2005 Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe appointed him rector of the inter-diocesan major philosophy seminary in Kabgayi. On 10 February 2006 Kambanda was appointed rector of the Saint Charles Borromeo Major Seminary of Nyakibanda.

paragraph: He replaced Monseigneur Smaragde Mbonyintege, who had been named a bishop.

paragraph: In June 2011 he led five hundred Rwandan pilgrims to Namugongo, Uganda, to join the Martyrs Day ceremonies to commemorate the 45 Christian converts who were killed in 1884 by King Mwanga II of Buganda. In his sermon, he said that the sacrifice the martyrs made had greatly helped the spread of Christianity in Africa by showing missionaries that converts would be willing to die for their faith.

paragraph: Section::::Bishop.

paragraph: On 7 May 2013, Pope Francis named Kambanda Bishop of Kibungo. He succeeded Kizito Bahujimihigo, who resigned in January 2010 amid "serious financial problems" in the diocese and threats on the part of creditor banks to seize diocesan assets. The Episcopal Conference of Rwanda elected him to attend the Synod of Bishops in 2015.

paragraph: On 19 November 2018, Pope Francis named him Archbishop of Kigali.

paragraph: Torres (musician)

paragraph: Mackenzie Scott (born January 23, 1991) is an independent American singer, songwriter, musician and artist who performs under the musical pseudonym Torres.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mackenzie was born on January 23, 1991 in Orlando, Florida and adopted at birth. From the age of 3, she was raised in Macon, Georgia. She considers Macon home.

paragraph: Brought up in a conservative Christian home, Mackenzie was the youngest of three. Her family was not a music household, but at an early age, Mackenzie learned how to play the flute, piano, and sang in her children's choir at her Baptist church. Through the "Phantom of the Opera", Mackenzie found her first musical passion: Broadway. She started singing in her high school's musical production of "Fiddler on the Roof". She began to perform in musicals, she learned to play guitar, and started playing and singing hymns during church services and at a nursing home every Saturday.

paragraph: After high school, Torres moved to Nashville, Tennessee to begin college. At Belmont University, she received a degree in Songwriting and a minor in English Literature. It was in Nashville where Mackenzie began to record her music. She graduated in December 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"TORRES" (2012-2014).

paragraph: In July 2012, while she was still a student, Mackenzie recorded her debut album "Torres" over a five-day session at Tony Joe White's home studio in Franklin, Tennessee with engineer and producer Ryan McFadden. Following the album's release on February 8, 2013, she played her debut show as Torres in Nashville at The Basement. The album was digitally released on January 22, 2013 and received critical acclaim. In the summer of 2013, Mackenzie moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn.

paragraph: She has toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe with a wide variety of musicians, including Lady Lamb the Beekeeper and Okkervil River, and opened for Sharon Van Etten and Hamilton Leithauser. Torres appears as a guest on Sharon Van Etten's 2014 album "Are We There?" and released a single, "New Skin," through Weathervane Music in June 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Sprinter ("2015-2016).

paragraph: "Sprinter" is the second studio album by Mackenzie Scott. It was released on May 5, 2015 by Partisan Records. Unlike "Torres", which was produced in Nashville, "Sprinter" was recorded in Dorset, England and produced by Rob Ellis. Mackenzie describes "Sprinter" as "something that would feel massive and heavy" with electronic elements, deliberate guitars and languid arrangements.

paragraph: She toured the U.S. and Europe as a headliner behind this album. She also opened for Garbage and Brandi Carlile, her early musical idol, in 2015. Torres also joined Tegan and Sara for their November 2016 tour.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Three Futures" (2017).

paragraph: Torres third album "Three Futures" was released on September 29, 2017. It was produced by Rob Ellis. Production started in Stockport, England, and was completed in Dorset in the same studio where she worked on "Sprinter". "Three Futures" brings new elements to Torres' music. "Three Futures" takes inspiration from electro-pop, gothic industrial, and insistent Krautrock and places mechanic grooves at the forefront. Torres also contributed a cover version of "Until I Die" to the Brandi Carlile charity compilation album "Cover Stories".

paragraph: Section::::Influences.

paragraph: From a young age, it was Broadway that led her to performing music. Her live performances are known to be very dramatic and she believes this stems from her early experiences with musical theater. Her musical influences include Brandi Carlile and Fleetwood Mac. Scott also writes poetry and short stories, and her favorite author is Sylvia Plath, who has inspired many of her works.

paragraph: Section::::Critical reception.

paragraph: Her self-titled album "TORRES" received favorable reviews from BPM, Pitchfork, and Metacritic. Music website Pitchfork Media named Torres's debut single, "Honey," best new track, describing it as "an arena-rock moment happening on an empty stage […] with its slow-burn intensity and coiled energy." Following the release of the album, Pitchfork gave the debut Torres album an 8.1 rating calling the record "an overwhelming rush of feeling [...] that connects with throat-seizing immediacy."

paragraph: Torres' second album also received many positive reviews. On Metacritic, the album has a score of 81 out of 100, indicating "Universal acclaim." Consequence of Sound praised that Scott's lyrics, "writes with the courage of someone much older. She is already willing to bear the wisdom and insight that comes from her Southern Baptist roots — and from leaving them behind" and gave the album an A-. Pitchfork also praised the album writing "When Scott can find the right balance of these elements—dark, introspective, midtempo, highly distorted, and in the four to five-minute range—she hits a sweet spot, like on 'New Skin' and the album's title track."

paragraph: Torres' third album "Three Futures", which was released on September 29, 2017, has been met with positive reviews. "Rolling Stone" gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars. The Rolling Stone describes the album as "offering conflicted images of emotional and physical release over bracing industrial-rock textures." The AV Club also praises "Three Futures" describing it as "hazily fascinating, flowing naturally through its various peaks and valleys, and it succeeds in Scott's goal of being truly immersive listening," while rating the album an A-. Consequence of Sound gave the album a B+, describing Scott's ability to pursue new musical directions "with poise and confidence..." DIY also awarded Three Futures 4 out of 5 stars and noted Scott takes a step forward without forgetting what made her previous albums successful, by venturing into "previously little-trodden ground in sumptuous new ways."

paragraph: Robert C. Hilliard

paragraph: Robert Cochran Hilliard (May 28, 1857 - June 6, 1927) was an American stage actor. A popular matinee idol of his day, he was nicknamed Handsome Bob.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Hilliard was born in New York City in 1857, and got involved in acting through amateur productions while he was working as a clerk on Wall Street. His professional debut was in the play "False Shame" in Brooklyn in 1886. He acted in many plays until retiring in 1918. "The Oxford Companion to American Theatre" states that "although he was a star for many years, most of the plays in which he acted were popular but ephemeral works." He also made frequent appearance in vaudeville between plays.

paragraph: As his nickname "Handsome Bob" might indicate, Hilliard was known for his attractive looks and for being very well-dressed in the fashions of the day. By 1888, Hilliard was set up as a foil by the press to Evander Berry Wall as to who should be called "King of the Dudes".

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Hilliard died of heart disease at his home on West 58th Street in Manhattan on June 6, 1927, and was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery. He was also suffering from diabetes. He was survived by his third wife, Olga Everard Hilliard, and son Robert Bell Hilliard. He was previously married to Cora Bell from 1881 to 1894, and to Nellie B. Whitehouse Murphy, who died in 1913. He married his third wife the following year, though he was her elder by 34 years. He had a son, Robert Bell Hilliard (d. 1928), with his first wife.

paragraph: Wihtberht

paragraph: Saint Wigbert, (Wihtberht) (May 7, 675 - August 13, 747) born in Wessex around 675, was an Anglo-Saxon Benedictine monk and a missionary and disciple of Saint Boniface who travelled with the latter in Frisia and northern and central Germany to convert the local tribes to Christianity. His feast day is August 13.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Wigbert was an Englishman of noble birth, who embraced the monastic life. It has been supposed that Wigbert was a monk of Glastonbury, but Löffler finds this improbable.

paragraph: Section::::Character.

paragraph: At times an anchorite, and hermit he was known for his missionary work, miracles and prophecies.

paragraph: He is known to history mainly through Alcuin and Bede and is mentioned in the Secgan Hagiography. Alcuin described him as venerable, and outstanding in his religious practice while Bede admired his "contempt of this world" and his learning. He worked mainly in Ireland.

paragraph: Section::::First mission.

paragraph: Around 664 Wihtberht was studying at Rath Melsigi in Ireland. Also there was Ecgberht of Ripon, who had gone to Ireland to avoid an outbreak of the plague in Northumbria. However, Ecgberht and many of the students contracted the disease. Ecgberht vowed that if he recovered, he would become a "peregrinus" on perpetual pilgrimage from his homeland of Britain and would lead a life of penitential prayer and fasting. He began to organize monks in Ireland to proselytize in Frisia, but was dissuaded from going himself by a vision related to him by a monk who had been a disciple of Saint Boisil (the Prior of Melrose under Abbot Eata), who advised him that this task was not for him. Ecgberht instead sent Wihtberht. Around 680, Wihtberht, went to Frisia, where he spent two years; but owing to the opposition of the ruler Redbad, King of the Frisians, Wihtberht was unsuccessful and returned. In 690 Ecgberht sent Willibrord.

paragraph: Section::::Second mission.

paragraph: When Boniface felled Thor's Oak near Fritzlar in northern Hesse in 723, he built a wooden chapel from the oak's wood and in 724 established a Benedictine monastery in Fritzlar. Boniface called Wigbert from England to become the abbot. Wigbert was certainly older than Boniface. He went to Germany about 734, and Boniface made him abbot of the monastery of Hersfeld in Hesse; among his pupils there was St. Sturmi, the first Abbot of Fulda.

paragraph: About 737 Boniface transferred him to Thuringia as Abbot of Ohrdruf, where he established a school for missionaries operating in Thuringia. Wigbert died in 747, and was initially buried in Fritzlar in the stone basilica he had built to replace the original wooden chapel. His former student, Lullus later had most of his body (except for a few sacred relics which remained in Fritzlar) interred in a gold and silver shrine in Hersfeld Abbey. Wigbert is patron saint of the town of Bad Hersfeld. His feast day is August 13.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Priory of St Wigbert (Priorat Sankt Wigberti) is an ecumenical Benedictine monastery for men, belonging to the Lutheran Church of Thuringia, located in Werningshausen, Germany.

paragraph: Ernest Crofts

paragraph: Ernest Crofts (15 September 1847 – 19 March 1911) was a British painter of historical and military scenes.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Leeds on 15 September 1847, Ernest was son of John Crofts, Esq. of Adal, near Leeds, a Justice of the Peace, and grandson of the Rev. W. Crofts, B.D., Vicar of North Grimston, near Malton, Yorkshire. One of his maternal uncles was the Rev. William Carr, B.D. of Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire. His mother was Ellen Wordsworth, the daughter of a Leeds industrialist. Ernest studied at Rugby School, for several years, and then headed to Berlin where he developed his interest in art and decided upon a career as a painter. His first acquaintance with war was made in 1864 when he accompanied a Prussian doctor in the Schleswig-Holstein War, and the operations around Düppel. His sister Ellen Wordsworth Crofts married Sir Francis Darwin and was the mother of poet Frances Cornford.

paragraph: He returned to London and became a pupil under A. B. Clay, but was back in Germany a few years later, this time studying at the Düsseldorf school of painting in Europe, where he studied under the German military artist, Emil Hünten, himself an ex-pupil of Horace Vernet, and at the time military and historical painter to the Prussian emperor. Under Hünten, Crofts' talent as a military painter grew, and in 1874, he exhibited "Retreat", representing an episode in the Franco-Prussian War during the Battle of Gravelotte, and in the same year, another scene from the same conflict, "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin" which won him the Crystal Palace prize medal. Both scenes were influenced by the artist's experience of witnessing some of the closing stages of the war, especially the battles of Weissenbourg, Wörth, and the siege of Strasbourg. While contributing regularly to the annual Royal Academy exhibition, he continued to live in Düsseldorf where he met his future wife.

paragraph: In 1875, Crofts exhibited "Ligny" at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) and at the International Exhibition in Philadelphia. The following year saw his picture representing "The morning of the Battle of Waterloo" which captured the dawn of the day with the tired and bespattered troops. One critic described it as follows: "Mr. Crofts' large canvas is admirable in the grouping of the soldiers on the morning of the battle; the day is breaking, on a weary, wounded and mud-stained company, some lying on the bare ground with knapsacks for pillows, some up and preparing for the march. The artillery are just on the move, and the note of preparation is sounding. The tone of the picture reminds us of the French school". The artist's first notable pictures of the English Civil War were exhibited in 1877, one of which depicted "Oliver Cromwell at Marston Moor". In the same year, he refused the offer of an appointment of military painter to the Prince of Roumania to be attached to his staff during the Russo-Turkish War.

paragraph: Crofts was elected an Associate of the RA on 19 July 1878, the year that his picture, "Wellington on his march from Quatre Bras to Waterloo" was shown. In the same year, his painting entitled "The Morning of the Battle of Waterloo" was shown at the Paris International Exhibition; this depicted the French army retiring from the battlefield, with Napoleon leaving his carriage and preparing to mount his horse. The artist walked and sketched much of the area around the battlefield of Waterloo including La Haye Sainte, Hougoumont and La Belle Alliance. In 1896, he was elected a full academician of the Royal Academy, and his Diploma Work, a Civil War scene, was entitled "To the Rescue". Two years later he succeeded Philip Calderon as keeper and trustee of the RA, which gave him accommodation at Burlington House. He was in effect chief director of the academy art schools as well as chief custodian of the Diploma Galley, which required "firmness, kindness and tact," according to one obituary, and Crofts was noted for his "pleasant manner, his good looks, and his amiability of character" which made him an ideal keeper.

paragraph: Besides historical scenes, Crofts did paint some contemporary military events. In 1901, for instance, the king commissioned him to paint a picture of the distribution of the war medals following the Boer War. Two years later, he painted a large scene of the funeral of Queen Victoria. One of his most ambitious works was the panel in the ambulatory of the Royal Exchange which portrayed Elizabeth I opening the first Royal Exchange in 1571. His trilogy of paintings chronicling the final moments, death and burial of Charles I were popular, but there was some disagreement over the representation of the block upon which the king knelt to be beheaded. Some argued about the accuracy, contending that the block of the period was a lower one, being just a few inches from the ground, and that to reach it, the king would have had to lie flat.

paragraph: Crofts lived at 'The Green' which he helped to re-design, next to Blythburgh church in Suffolk. He had married a German lady, Elizabeth Wüsthofen of Düsseldorf, and they had one daughter. The artist died of pneumonia at Burlington House on 19 March 1911. His funeral service was held at St. James's Church, Piccadilly, on Thursday 23 March, followed by his burial at Kensal Green Cemetery. A sale of his remaining works was held at Christie, Manson & Woods on Monday 18 December 1911.

paragraph: While Crofts's pictures were popular in the 1870s and 1880s, the public lost its appetite for war paintings in the early years of the 20th century following the setbacks in South Africa. His obituary noted that "his taste was a little theatrical, and his talent not good enough to redeem it...it is safe to say that he will be best remembered, not by them, but by his good work at the Academy Schools and by his administrative services to the body of which he was a useful member...the exacting taste of the present day asks for something less conventional than his rather superficial battle scenes". While the artist's pictures continue to be used as illustration in history and military books, today he is rarely mentioned as a significant historical artist.

paragraph: Hōjō Sōun

paragraph: Traditionally Soun held a reputation of a "rōnin" who rose to power almost overnight in Kantō; however, he belonged to a prestigious family in the direct employment of the Ashikaga shōgun, and enjoyed important family connections. His sister was married to Imagawa Yoshitada, a major daimyō from a prestigious cadet branch of the Ashikaga family. Shinkuro became a retainer in the Imagawa clan, and when Yoshitada died in battle in 1476, Shinkurō mediated the succession dispute between supporters of Yoshitada's son Imagawa Ujichika and Yoshitada's cousin, Oshika Norimitsu. This proved a temporary peace. When Norimitsu again attempted to gain control of the Imagawa clan, Sōun came to Ujichika's defense, killing Norimitsu. Sōun was rewarded by Ujichika with Kokukuji castle. He gained control of Izu Province in 1493, avenging a wrong committed by a member of the Ashikaga family which held the shogunate. With Sōun's successful invasion in Izu province, he is credited by most historians as being the first "Sengoku "daimyō"".

paragraph: About 1475, under the cognomen of Ise Shinkuro, he worked for Imagawa, the constable of Suruga Province, and eventually became an "independent leader" with a number of warriors joining him. In 1491, he was able to take Horigoye after the death of Kantō kubō Ashikaga Masatomo died, gaining control of Izu Province. He then adopted the surname of Hōjō and the given name of Sōun or Sozui. After building a stronghold at Nirayama, Hōjō Sōun secured Odawara Castle in 1494, the castle which would become the center of the Hōjō family's domains for nearly a century. In an act of treachery, he seized the castle after arranging for its lord to be murdered while out hunting. In 1516, he laid siege to the castle of Arai, and "was virtual master of all Sagami".

paragraph: Sōun died the following year, and passed on the newly built Hōjō domains to his son Ujitsuna, who subsequently changed the clan name from the original Ise to Hōjō and posthumously renamed his father to Hōjō Sōun. In 1521, Ujitsuna built Sōun-ji temple dedicated to his father.

paragraph: William II, Duke of Apulia

paragraph: William II (1095 – July 1127) was the Duke of Apulia and Calabria from 1111 to 1127. He was the son and successor of Roger Borsa. His mother, Adela of Flanders, had previously been queen of Denmark, and he was a half-brother of Charles the Good.

paragraph: He succeeded his father as duke in 1111, though Adela served as regent until William was of age. Like father, like son: he proved utterly inept at governing his Italian possessions. He could not avoid conflict with his first cousin once removed Roger II of Sicily, and in 1121 Pope Calixtus II personally intervened to make peace between the warring cousins. William and Roger came to an agreement, whereby Roger provided knights to help William quash a revolt of the minor baron Jordan of Ariano, and in exchange, William abandoned his Sicilian and Calabrian lands.

paragraph: In 1114, William married a daughter of Count Robert of Carazzo, but they had no children. He died without legitimate posterity in July 1127, leaving the entire of the Norman Mezzogiorno to his first cousin once removed, Roger II of Sicily, his erstwhile ally.

paragraph: Generally considered an insignificant ruler by modern historians, William was respected by his contemporaries, popular with his barons and subjects, and praised for his martial prowess.

paragraph: Wally Beckwith

paragraph: John Walter 'Wally' Beckwith (30 May 1893 - 7 December 1983) was a professional runner and Australian rules footballer who played for Fitzroy and was a boundary umpire in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

paragraph: Section::::Athletic career.

paragraph: Beckwith was a professional sprinter who competed under the Victorian Athletic League (VAL) from 1909-1934. As both a flat-runner and a hurdler he was most successful during his early years which included a third-place in the 1915 Stawell Gift and a win in the Sprint Handicap (75 yards) at the same meeting. He had won the latter event in 1913 and could have won three in a row had he not submitted an incomplete entry for in 1914. Other wins of note included the 1918 Shepparton Gift and a Wangaratta Gift. He was winning races as late as 1930 when he won the Lancefield Gift.

paragraph: In 1938 Beckwith was appointed one of the handicappers for the Stawell meeting and later that same year was appointed as a handicapper for the VAL. Having filled further roles as VAL steward and committee member he was elected president in 1947 and served until 1950. He became an honorary life member of the VAL in 1951 and of the Stawell Athletic Club in 1962.

paragraph: Section::::Football career.

paragraph: Beckwith played his early football at Clifton Hill and West Melbourne CYMS. He made his only league appearance in the second round of the 1918 VFL season, when he played in Fitzroy's 40-point loss to eventual premiers South Melbourne at Brunswick Street Oval.

paragraph: His son John had a much more successful career, playing in five premiership teams at Melbourne.

paragraph: Section::::Umpiring career.

paragraph: A knee injury forced Beckwith to retire from playing and he concentrated on athletics for most of the 1920s. It was common for professional athletes to use boundary umpiring as a way of maintaining fitness and Beckwith applied to the VFL in 1928. He was accepted and placed on the list of boundary umpires for that season.

paragraph: He made his debut in the first round officiating at the Richmond versus North Melbourne match earning Heritage Number 152. In two seasons Beckwith officiated in 22 VFL and 4 country matches. His last match was the 1929 Grand Final.

paragraph: Adolf III of the Marck

paragraph: Adolph III of the Marck (German: "Adolf III von der Mark") ( – 7 September 1394) was the Bishop of Münster (as Adolph) from 1357 until 1363, the Archbishop of Cologne (as Adolph II) in 1363, the Count of Cleves (as Adolph I) from 1368 until 1394, and the Count of Mark (as Adolph III) from 1391 until 1393.

paragraph: Adolph was the second son of Count Adolph II of the Marck and Margaret of Cleves.

paragraph: On 16 November 1357 Pope Innocent VI appointed him the Bishop of Münster. In 1362 he signed a contract with his uncle Bishop Engelbert III of the Marck of Liège whereby he would inherit Cleves in the likely event Count John of Cleves died childless. On 13 June 1363 he was appointed the Archbishop of Cologne against the favourite John of Virneburg, but by the end of the year had resigned from the position to focus on the County of Cleves, despite the fact that his short tenure was scandalous and ridden with controversy.

paragraph: In 1368 he succeeded his uncle John of Cleves and could maintain his rule there through the support of Liège. In 1369 he married Margaret of Jülich, daughter of Gerhard VI of Jülich, Count of Berg and Ravensberg and had fourteen children, at least five of whom did not survive infancy.

paragraph: Adolph died in 1394 and was succeeded in Cleves by another of his sons, Adolph.

paragraph: Cleves and Marck were reunited again 4 years later, when Dietrich died and was succeeded by Adolph IV.

paragraph: Cyrus Pringle

paragraph: Cyrus Guernsey Pringle (May 6, 1838 – May 25, 1911) was an American botanist who spent a career of 35 years cataloguing the plants of North America. He is in the top five historical botanists for quantity of new species discovered — approximately 1,200 species, 100 varieties, twenty-nine genera, and four combinations.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was born on May 6, 1838 in East Charlotte, Vermont. His ancestry on his father's side was Scottish Presbyterian; his maternal grandfather, Asa Harris, was of Puritan stock. He studied in Hinesburg and Bakersfield, Vermont, and later at Stanbridge, Quebec, before entering the University of Vermont in the year 1859, enrolling in the classical course. However, the death of his older brother during the first semester, made it necessary for him to aid his widowed mother in the management of the farm and to give up all ideas of college.

paragraph: In the early part of his life he was interested in the Quaker religious doctrine of the Friends, and it was through these meetings that he met, and later married, school teacher Almira L. Greene of Starksboro, Vermont on February 25, 1863.

paragraph: His first horticultural undertakings were on his mother's farm in 1857, when, at the age of nineteen, he budded a small seedling apple tree, with a large, striped, sweet summer apple. In 1858 he started his first nursery, containing a small pear orchard, fruit yards, gardens of currants, cherries, grapes, peaches and potatoes. He made a plan for each orchard or garden, giving the name and location of each plant. By crossing, he obtained a new variety of potato seedling "No. 6 (1870)," which was called "Snowflake." This potato was introduced to the public in New York. Robert Fenn, an Englishman much interested in crossing American and English varieties of potatoes, recognized Pringle's ability and the two of them worked together on other projects, such as the crossing of "Snowflake" with "Rector of Woodstock" and vice versa. Another cross-bred potato of 1870, "Ruby," gained a first-class certificate from the London Horticultural Society, and, with "Snowflake," was awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

paragraph: He sold seedlings of lilies, gladioli and wheat. He grew more than 100 varieties of iris and nearly all the species of lilies. His Hubbard squash seeds brought a dollar a pound at one time, and he ran a "hospital" for bulbs. People would send their sick specimens to him in Vermont for rehabilitation.

paragraph: Section::::Civil War.

paragraph: During the American Civil War, about five months after his marriage, he, was drafted into the Union Army on July 13 along with two other Vermont Quakers. They shared the Quakers' disapproval of war, and when Pringle's uncle offered to pay the $300 necessary for his release, he would not allow this to be done, regarding that solution as a selfish compromise with principle. Refusing to perform all military duty, he was subjected to severe discipline. The Friends were kept for days in the guardhouse in company with drunks and criminals. Finally, on October 3, 1863, at Culpeper, Pringle was staked to the ground, with his arms outstretched and his legs cruelly racked; he was left in this position for hours, until "so weak he could hardly walk or perform any exertion". He was even threatened with death if he would not give up, but his only reply was, "It can but give me pain to be asked or required to do anything I believe to be wrong." After a day of extreme pain he wrote in his diary, "This has been the happiest day of my life, to be privileged to fight the battle for universal peace."

paragraph: When Secretary of War Stanton heard of this treatment, he ordered "the three incorrigibles" sent to Washington. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agriculture, went to President Lincoln about their case, and the President asked the Secretary to release them. The Secretary refused, claiming that his oath of office stood in the way of giving them a discharge. In the meantime, Pringle's physical strength began to give way, and he spent most of his three weeks in Washington in bed. It was only after President Lincoln had gone personally to Stanton that the parole was granted.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After recovering his health in 1868, Pringle again turned his energies to plant breeding, attempting to hybridize new varieties of fruit and corn, tomatoes, and grains such as wheat and oats. In 1872, Pringle's wife separated from her husband to pursue evangelistic work, and they divorced on October 16, 1877.

paragraph: Sometime around the 1870s, Pringle began to collect plants throughout Vermont, from deep in mossy woods, by lakesides, or high on mountain summits. On December 13, 1874, he was appointed to the Vermont Board of Agriculture. During three successive years he took boat trips up the lower St. Lawrence, to the Saguenay, and the St. Francis and St. John Rivers of northern Maine. In 1878, he displayed many of the Vermont specimens which he had been collecting, at the Paris Exposition.

paragraph: In 1880, he was named as botanical collector for the American Museum of Natural History, and as an agent for the United States Census Department, to explore the forests of that region and to collect data for a final report. In 1884, he made a botanical survey of the north and northwestern portions of Arizona, under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, and this later branched into a 26-year survey of Mexico. The "Mexican Herald" referred to him as one of the most brilliant and scholarly men ever to grace Mexico with his presence.

paragraph: During his thirty-five years of field work in the United States, Canada and Mexico, he distributed to herbaria over 500,000 specimens, embracing some 20,000 species, about 12 per cent of which were new to science. In April, 1896, he was elected a member of the New England Botanical Club, within the first year of its existence and when in Boston attended the meetings. He became vice-president and charter member of the Vermont Botanical Club.

paragraph: In the last year of his life he talked of planning a trip to South America, but died before he ever realized that dream, on May 25, 1911. He is buried in Morningside Cemetery, Charlotte, Vermont.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Pringle is the namesake of the Cyrus Pringle Herbarium at the University of Vermont.

paragraph: Richard Williams (tennis coach)

paragraph: Richard Dove Williams Jr. (born February 14, 1942) is an American tennis coach, and father of Venus and Serena Williams.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Williams was one of five children and the only son of Julia Mae Metcalf (died 1985) and Richard Dove Williams, Sr. of Shreveport, Louisiana. His younger sisters are Pat, Barbara, Penny, and Faye.

paragraph: Richard graduated from high school, moved to Chicago, and eventually to California, where he met Betty Johnson, whom he married in 1965. They had six children, three sons and at least two daughters before divorcing in 1973.

paragraph: In 1979 Williams met Oracene Price, who had three daughters by her late husband. Together they had a daughter Venus, who was born on June 17, 1980, and a daughter Serena, born on September 26, 1981. Richard and Oracene married in 1980 and settled in Compton.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He took tennis lessons from a man known as "Old Whiskey" and decided his future daughters would be tennis professionals when he saw Virginia Ruzici playing on television. Williams says that he wrote up a 78-page plan, and started giving lessons to Venus and Serena when they were four and a half, and began taking them to the public tennis courts. (He now says he feels like he took them too early, and six is a better age.) Soon he got them into Shreveport tennis tournaments. In 1995, Williams pulled them out of a tennis academy, and coached them himself.

paragraph: Serena won the US Open in 1999; Venus beat Lindsay Davenport to win the 2000 Wimbledon title. After that victory, Richard shouted "Straight Outta Compton!" (in reference to a song by N.W.A based on that area in Los Angeles) and jumped over the NBC broadcasting booth, catching Chris Evert by surprise and performing a triumphant dance. Evert said that the broadcasters "thought the roof was coming down".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Williams’ children from his first marriage and otherwise include Richard III, Ronner, Sabrina, Chavoita, , and . One son appeared courtside in 2011.

paragraph: Later in his daughters' careers, he took a less visible role, turning to other interests such as photography. He raised public interest again after his 2002 divorce from Oracene Price and his appearances with new girlfriend Lakeisha Graham, who is a year older than Venus. Richard and Lakeisha were married in 2010 and divorced in 2017. Their son, Dylan Starr Richard Williams, was born in 2012.

paragraph: In July 2016, Williams suffered a stroke prior to his daughters Venus and Serena winning Wimbledon. His wife stated that his condition is fair.
