paragraph: Elmelunde Master

paragraph: The Elmelunde Master, Danish "Elmelundemesteren", is the designation given to the nameless 16th-century artist who painted the frescoes in the churches of Elmelunde, Fanefjord and Keldby on the island of Møn in south-eastern Denmark.

paragraph: The naves of these three churches were furnished with Gothic cross vaults at the end of the 15th century providing an ideal surface for frescoes of the Biblia pauperum (or people's bible) based on popular stories from the richly illustrated medieval manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments.

paragraph: The artist can be recognised from his distinctive emblem present in one or more of the frescoes in all three churches. His warm colours ranging from dark red and russet to pastel shades of yellow, green, grey and black are distinctive as are the faces of his figures who all have sleepy eyes whether in scenes of heaven or hell. Vines, flowers and tree branches complete the images.

paragraph: In the 16th century, following the Reformation, the frescoes were covered with coats of whitewash which hid them from view until quite recently. It was in the 1880s that they were first rediscovered in the church at Elmelunde with the result that the artist became known as the Elmelunde Master. It is however the frescoes in Fanefjord Church uncovered in the 1930s which are considered to be the most interesting and comprehensive.

paragraph: The Elmelunde Master's school is also credited with the frescoes in churches on the neighbouring island of Falster at Tingsted, Nørre Alslev, Kettinge and Åstrup.

paragraph: Rodney Harrison

paragraph: Rodney Scott Harrison (born December 15, 1972) is an American former professional football player in the National Football League (NFL). Harrison played strong safety for the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots. He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and winner of two Super Bowl rings. During his career, Harrison set and still holds the record for sacks by a defensive back, as well as becoming the first NFL player with 30 sacks and 30 interceptions. He currently serves as a commentator for Sunday Night Football on NBC.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Harrison went to high school at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois. In March 2006, Marian Catholic retired Harrison's No. 37 jersey, although Harrison never actually wore No. 37 while in high school. His varsity numbers were No. 26 as a sophomore, No. 11 as a junior and No. 3 as a senior. He graduated from high school in 1991.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Harrison played college football at Western Illinois University from 1991 to 1993. He is the school's record-holder for tackles in a career (345) and tackles in a game (28). As a freshman, Harrison was a second-team All-Gateway Football Conference before being named a first-team All-Gateway pick as a sophomore and junior. The Associated Press also named him a second-team All-American as a sophomore and a first-team All-American as a junior.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:San Diego Chargers.

paragraph: Harrison was drafted in the fifth round of the 1994 draft, (145th overall) by the San Diego Chargers, the same year they made their only Super Bowl (XXIX) to date, which they lost to the San Francisco 49ers. Harrison became a starting member of the Chargers' 1996 defense, going to two Pro Bowls with the Chargers in 1998 and 2001. He set then-career highs with the Chargers in 2000 with 127 tackles and six interceptions; in 2002 he started 13 games and recorded 88 tackles in his final season with the Chargers.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New England Patriots.:2003.

paragraph: Following the 2002 season, on February 27, 2003, Harrison was released by the Chargers. Two weeks later, on March 13, Harrison landed with the Patriots, signing a six-year deal. At the time, the Patriots had both Harrison and fellow Pro Bowl safety Lawyer Milloy under contract. Throughout the offseason, though, the Patriots and Milloy were involved in contract negotiations, with the Patriots requesting Milloy take a pay cut or be released. Milloy did not comply, and on September 2, he was released.

paragraph: Prior to the 2003 season, Harrison was named a defensive captain in his first year with the Patriots by the coaching staff after Lawyer Milloy was released.

paragraph: On January 10, 2004 in the divisional playoff game against the Tennessee Titans, he intercepted Steve McNair, which set up Antowain Smith's touchdown, as New England would hold on for a 17–14 win. In the AFC Championship Game the next week against the Indianapolis Colts, Harrison intercepted Peyton Manning in the end zone and forced a Marvin Harrison fumble, recovered by teammate Tyrone Poole. Harrison then went on to help the New England Patriots win their second title in three years, against the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, 32–29. He fractured his right arm late in the game, but a Tom Brady-led drive and Adam Vinatieri field goal secured the Patriots' victory. In his 10th year in the league, Harrison earned his first Super Bowl ring.

paragraph: Harrison was also named to the Associated Press' All-Pro team following a 140-tackle (a 2003 NFL best for a defensive back) and three-sack season in which he started all 16 regular season games.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New England Patriots.:2004.

paragraph: The 2004 season produced a similar performance. Harrison helped New England's defense finish second in the NFL in scoring for 2004. For the second straight season, Harrison's 138 tackles led all defensive backs in the NFL. Harrison also started all sixteen regular season games for the sixth time in his career, holding together a Patriots secondary that was without Ty Law and Tyrone Poole for the majority of the season.

paragraph: In the Patriots' divisional playoff game against the Colts, Harrison intercepted Peyton Manning late in the game to end the Colts' last chance. The next week in the AFC Championship, Harrison jumped a Ben Roethlisberger pass and took it 87 yards for a touchdown, helping the Patriots defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 41–27. During the week leading up to the Super Bowl, Harrison got into a verbal feud with Philadelphia Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell after Mitchell claimed he "had something for Harrison" and did not know the names of the New England secondary. Harrison, in Super Bowl XXXIX, would record seven tackles, a sack, and two interceptions of quarterback Donovan McNabb, despite missing almost an entire quarter due to an injury sustained during the game. The second interception, with ten seconds remaining in the game, preserved a 24–21 Patriot win, ensuring a third championship in four years.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New England Patriots.:2005–2008.

paragraph: The 2005 season began a string of multiple injuries for the 12th-year safety, with Harrison's season coming to an end on September 25 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he was hit in the knee by a falling Cedrick Wilson and tore the anterior cruciate, medial collateral, and posterior cruciate ligaments in his left knee. Harrison was subsequently placed on the injured reserve list, ending his season.

paragraph: Slightly over 10 months after his season-ending injury, Harrison returned to Patriots' practice for the first time on August 7, 2006. After sporadic playing time in the preseason, Harrison started the first seven of the Patriots' games in 2006, totaling 23 tackles and one sack. However, while making a tackle on Marvin Harrison against the Colts on November 5, Harrison injured his right shoulder and missed the next six weeks of the season. He returned to the Patriots in week 16, but his season was ended the following week in Tennessee after a low block from Bobby Wade injured his right knee.

paragraph: Harrison was suspended for the first four games of the 2007 regular season for admitting to federal investigators that he knowingly obtained and used human growth hormone (HGH). Harrison stated to the media that he used "a banned substance" for "accelerating the healing process from injuries [he] sustained playing football," and "never to gain a competitive edge." In addition, according to federal agents and Harrison himself, Harrison received a shipment of HGH, with his name on it, just days before Super Bowl XXXVIII in February 2004. Later, he expressed regret over his decision to use the substance calling it a "a black cloud over my career." "I played 15 years and that doesn't feel good. That's embarrassing...It wasn't smart. I put a foreign substance in my body and don't know the long-term effects," he said on Football Night in America.

paragraph: In 2007, Harrison was also the player whom David Tyree made his Helmet Catch over in Super Bowl XLII, eventually leading to the New York Giants beating the Patriots 17–14. The loss ended the Patriots' hopes of a perfect season, ending their record at 18–1, the one loss coming in the Super Bowl.

paragraph: Harrison's 2008 season ended early when, in an October 20 game against the Denver Broncos, Harrison tore his right quadriceps femoris muscle on a play, was carted off the field, and placed on injured reserve.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Retirement.

paragraph: On June 3, 2009, Harrison announced his retirement from football to become an analyst for NBC Sports' "Football Night in America". Patriots head coach Bill Belichick soon after called Harrison one of the best players he had ever coached.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Reputation.

paragraph: Harrison was voted the "dirtiest player" in the NFL by his peers according to a 2004 poll conducted by "Sports Illustrated". In 2006, Harrison once again topped the "dirtiest player" voting by 361 other NFL players. In 2008, NFL coaches awarded the title to Harrison in an anonymous poll conducted by ESPN. He has also been fined and suspended multiple times, and as of 2002, had racked up over $200,000 in fines by the NFL. A notable suspension occurred in 2002 after a helmet-to-helmet hit on the Oakland Raiders' Jerry Rice.

paragraph: Virasena

paragraph: Acharya Virasena (792-853) was a Digambara monk and belonged to the lineage of Acharya Kundakunda. He was an Indian mathematician and Jain philosopher and scholar. He was also known as a famous orator and an accomplished poet. His most reputed work is the Jain treatise "Dhavala". The late Dr. Hiralal Jain places the completion of this treatise in 816 AD.

paragraph: Virasena was a noted mathematician. He gave the derivation of the volume of a frustum by a sort of infinite procedure. He worked with the concept of "ardhaccheda": the number of times a number could be divided by 2; effectively base-2 logarithms. He also worked with logarithms in base 3 (trakacheda) and base 4 (caturthacheda).

paragraph: Virasena gave the approximate formula "C" = 3"d" + (16"d"+16)/113 to relate the circumference of a circle, "C", to its diameter, "d". For large values of "d", this gives the approximation π ≈ 355/113 = 3.14159292..., which is more accurate than the approximation π ≈ 3.1416 given by Aryabhata in the "Aryabhatiya".

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Virasena was proficient in astrology, grammar, logic, mathematics and prosody. He wrote "Dhavala", a commentary on Jain canon "Shatakhandagama". He also started the work on "Jayadhavalaa" which was competed by his disciples. He was among the jewels of Rashtrakuta king Amoghavarsha.

paragraph: William Fitzhugh

paragraph: William Fitzhugh (August 24, 1741June 6, 1809) was an American planter and statesman who served as a delegate to the Continental Congress for Virginia in 1779.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Fitzhugh and his wife, Ann Bolling Randolph Fitzhugh (1747–1805), built Chatham Manor on property across the Rappahannock River from Fredericksburg, Virginia, completing it in 1771 after 3 years of construction. It still stands today as the National Park Service Headquarters for the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. The Fitzhughs lived a lavish life there that included experimental farming and horse racing. After the Revolutionary War, as the economy floundered, Fitzhugh sold Chatham Manor and 1,288 acres (5.2 km) to Churchill Jones for $20,000.

paragraph: About 1799, William Fitzhugh bought the house at 607 Oronoco St., Alexandria, Virginia, that has become known as "The Boyhood Home of Robert E. Lee." The house was built in 1795 by John Potts, Jr. After William Fitzhugh's death, it then passed to William Henry Fitzhugh, his only son, and was rented to the Lee family.

paragraph: Fitzhugh had built another mansion, Ravensworth, in 1796, where North Springfield, Virginia, is now located. This was his country home, with the Alexandria one being his townhouse. Ravensworth stood until about 1925, when it burned under mysterious circumstances.

paragraph: William Fitzhugh and George Washington visited one another frequently until Washington's death in 1799, with Washington mentioning Fitzhugh in his diary and the two serving together on the Pohick Church vestry. Fitzhugh was the last person that Washington visited outside of Mount Vernon before his death in 1799.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Fitzhugh served in the Virginia House of Burgesses between 1772 and 1775. When that assembly was dissolved by Virginia colonial governor John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, Fitzhugh continued to serve King George County, Virginia in ad hoc conventions held in Williamsburg and Richmond. He was also a member of the Revolutionary Committee of Safety in 1774-75. During the American Revolutionary War he was a commissioner of two arms and munitions factories. He served as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1776–1777. He was a Virginia state senator in 1780–1787).

paragraph: Fitzhugh was chosen as an elector for the 1789 election from Westmoreland District. That District consisted of King George County, Lancaster County, Northumberland County, Richmond County, Stafford County and Westmoreland County, which cover the area between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers.

paragraph: All of the 10 electors who voted cast one of their two votes for George Washington. 5 of them cast their other vote for John Adams. 3 cast theirs for George Clinton. 1 cast his for John Hancock. 1 cast his for John Jay. In a letter written by James Madison to Thomas Jefferson on March 29, 1789, 'Mr W Fitzhugh of Chatham' is described as a Federalist

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He was the great-grandson of English immigrant Colonel William Fitzhugh who came to Virginia in about 1671 and owned 54,000 acres (220 km²) when he died in 1701. William of Chatham inherited most of the land. As a child he suffered the loss of an eye when accidentally hit with a horse riding crop by one of his stepbrothers. His mother was Lucy Carter, daughter of Robert "King" Carter.

paragraph: In 1804 Fitzhugh's daughter Mary Lee Fitzhugh was married in the parlor of the Alexandria townhouse to George Washington Parke Custis, grandson of Martha Dandridge Custis Washington and adopted grandson of George Washington. In 1831 their daughter, Mary Anna Randolph Custis, married Robert E. Lee.

paragraph: His wife was Ann Bolling Randolph (William Randolph II and Elizabeth Beverley's granddaughter). This Randolph connection made Ann Fitzhugh cousin to Thomas Jefferson, a visitor to their home in Fredericksburg.

paragraph: Fitzhugh died in 1809 at the age of 69, leaving behind the three of his children who survived to adulthood. He was initially buried at Ravensworth, but when the mansion was destroyed, his remains and gravestone were moved to Lorton's Pohick Church cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Busted.

paragraph: At the age of 17, Bourne dropped out of the South East Essex college course in Music Technology to pursue his music career. He met Matt Willis at a gig and they started writing songs together at Bourne's house in Southend. Willis and Bourne placed an ad for a third band member in "NME" magazine. They held auditions and after listening to a few songs the two had written together, Charlie Simpson joined the band. After signing to Universal in 2002, Busted released their first single, "What I Go To School For", from their self-titled debut album in September that year, which quickly became No. 3 in the UK charts. "Year 3000" soon followed and became a hit as well reaching No. 2 in the charts, their third single "You Said No" was a No. 1 hit.

paragraph: By the end of the band's career, they had managed eight top 10 singles and four number ones – "You Said No", "Crashed the Wedding", "Who's David?" and "Thunderbirds Are Go". Despite their success, Busted split on 14 January 2005 after just three years, following Simpson's decision to leave the band to concentrate on his side project Fightstar.

paragraph: In October 2015, rumours spread in various British tabloids that Busted were reuniting once again. "The Sun" reported that an unnamed source (later revealed to be Tom Fletcher) had stated that 'Busted are re-forming by the end of the year and Charlie is part of the band again.'. The following month, images emerged showing a silhouetted band with a caption suggesting a Busted press conference. On 10 November 2015 Busted announced their return as a band, featuring Simpson again. They also announced a 2016 nationwide tour, Pigs Can Fly Tour 2016. Their third album, "Night Driver", was released on 25 November 2016. Their fourth studio album and subsequent tour took place in 2019, Half Way There has also been a hit for the band.

Although a split was never officially announced, Dave Williams, Chris Leonard and Steve Rushton all left to pursue other projects leaving Bourne and Danny Hall the only members. With that, the second album was cancelled. A reunion of sorts happened on occasion as Bourne turned their debut album into "". Danny Hall and James Bourne both performed "Holly... I'm The One" together at the Oliver Awards.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Future Boy.

paragraph: Following the split of Son of Dork, Bourne pursued a musical career as a solo artist under the name Future Boy inspired by his favourite movie "Back to the Future".

paragraph: Although "Volume 2" was officially announced in February 2011 for a 3 May 2012 release as a Facebook video game "Space Travellers", the album has yet to surface due to technical difficulties and other commitments.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Solo project.

paragraph: Alongside his alter ego act Future Boy, Bourne revealed on Kali FM that he would be releasing a solo EP and aired some songs on the radio show. The EP is set to be released in the summer. Songs including "Gone" & "One of A Kind", were played on air. Bourne revealed it would in fact be a solo album and will include the track "Beautiful Girls are the Loneliest".

paragraph: In 2012, Bourne did his debut solo acoustic tour across the Uk. Dates included London, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Islingon and Birmingham, with Matt Willis and wife, Emma Willis, as well as family members coming to support him. His set consisted of a mixture of songs from Busted, Future Boy and Son of Dork. He went on to do a brief tour in Spain.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:McBusted.

paragraph: In 2013, Bourne supported for McFly, which was later referred to by the newly formed McBusted as the starting point for ideas of McFly and Busted joining together as a contribution to the McFly tour, which then later sparked ideas of their own McBusted tour. The McBusted tour was a success and the tour was extended from 11 dates to 36 dates. McBusted released their self-titled debut album on 1 December 2014, with a large portion of the tracks written/co-written by Bourne. Some tracks on the album were from some of Bourne's previous musical projects like "What Happened To Your Band" that was originally written for Son of Dork and "Beautiful Girls Are The Loneliest" which was intended for his solo project. McBusted went on a 21 date tour in 2015 and performed songs from their new album as well as previous McFly and Busted hits.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Other projects.

paragraph: In February 2009, Bourne formed the band Call Me When I'm 18 with Ollie Kinski. The band was meant as a successor to Busted and Son of Dork. The pair released four songs to the public including a cover of the previously unreleased Son of Dork song "Go Home Monday". The others were "Dumbstruck", "Break It" and "Gone". They disbanded in 2011 and Bourne instead decided to continue with his solo project.

paragraph: In early 2013, Bourne formed a band with his brother Chris Bourne called The Bourne Insanity. They released their first single "Mohawk" on 16 April, unsigned and written solely by Chris. In late 2013, Bourne announced via Twitter that he had posted "secret" music under a different name on iTunes. The band was later revealed to be "88", which was Bourne and fellow musician Eric Bazilian. 88 released their first single, "Angels Walk Beside You", on 5 December 2013, and on 8 February 2014 they released their second single "Miss the Girl".

paragraph: Section::::Songwriting.

paragraph: Bourne wrote the majority of Busted's two albums with Matt Willis, Charlie Simpson and Tom Fletcher (McFly). Busted's style of music can also be identified in songs with his next band Son of Dork's poppier tracks.

paragraph: Bourne has co-writing credits on the first four McFly albums - "Room on the 3rd Floor", "Wonderland", "Motion in the Ocean" and "", contributing to the majority of the tracks on the former.

paragraph: He takes a lot of writing credits for artists such as Melanie C for whom he wrote "Immune" for her fourth studio album "This Time". Other artists include MC Lars, with whom he wrote the song "Twenty-three" on the "This Gigantic Robot Kills" album, and Pat Monahan, with whom he co-wrote "Great Escape" on the album "Last of Seven". Bourne has recently been writing with his girlfriend's band The Lunabelles and JC Chasez as well as unknown artists as a part of Metrophonic. He has also helped write songs for the British drama "Britannia High". He also wrote Eoghan Quigg's debut solo single "28,000 Friends", which was originally performed by Bourne at The Living Room, New York on 11 October 2007. He also co-wrote The Saturdays song, "Forever Is Over", which was released on 2 October and reached number two in the charts.

paragraph: In November 2009, Bourne collaborated with Leon G. Thomas III to write the song "Please Don't Change Your Mind".

paragraph: Bourne's music often includes references to films. For example, Busted's song "Year 3000" contains several references to "Back to the Future" as well as Son of Dork's song "Ticket Outta Loserville" containing the lyrics "Wake up to 'I Got You Babe', Like the guy from "Groundhog Day"".

paragraph: In 2014, Bourne was writing songs for supergroup McBusted, The Vamps and 5 Seconds of Summer. This includes the song Daylight by 5 Seconds of Summer which was cowritten with his brother Chris Bourne.

paragraph: Section::::Musical theatre.

paragraph: Section::::Musical theatre.:"Loserville: The Musical".

paragraph: In February 2009, Youth Music Theatre commissioned Bourne, along with his friend Elliot Davis, to write a musical based on the Son of Dork album "Welcome to Loserville", "Loserville: The Musical". The tickets for the 20 August premiere went up for sale on 7 May. The slogan used for the musical is "I guess it really pays to be a slacker...", and is centred around 17-year-old Michael Dork, who is called a nerd, geek and slacker by others. Bourne tweeted that the musical would be hitting London's West End in 2011; however, it eventually opened on 1 October 2012 at the Garrick Theatre. From 18 June 2012 to 14 July 2012 the musical ran in Leeds at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.

paragraph: The show opened at the Garrick Theatre on 17 October 2012, following previews from 1 October officially beginning its tour on the West End. The production was originally set to run until 2 March 2013, but closed early on 5 January 2013. The production included past Son of Dork band member Danny Hall on drums and singer Lil' Chris.

paragraph: Section::::Musical theatre.:"Out There: The Musical".

paragraph: In 2011, Youth Music Theatre once again commissioned Bourne and Davis to write a new, original musical called "Out There". First presented as a workshop presentation in a small theatre west of London, the musical is set in the fictional town of Hope, Texas, and follows the story of Logan Carter, who is on the run from his home town near Detroit after committing a minor felony. Hope is a dead-end, one-horse town (even the horse has died) and its inhabitants are searching for ways to rescue the town from obscurity and financial ruin. Meanwhile, a few miles away in the desert, an old man is building something weird in his outhouse.

paragraph: In July 2012, the original Youth Music Theatre cast and crew reunited to put on several performances at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London, with new songs added. Prior to this, a funding page was set up to allow them to perform and although they didn't reach their $15,000 goal they still went ahead with the shows.

paragraph: The musical is available to have amateur and professional performances in schools and the stage through the Josef Weinbeger LTD.

paragraph: Section::::Musical theatre.:"Murder at the Gates".

paragraph: In 2013, Bourne announced another musical he had been working on, "Murder at the Gates". This time, the musical sees Bourne working with "Spring Awakening" writer Steven Sater, who has penned with book & lyrics for this musical whereas Bourne worked solely on the music score. The musical had a trial run performance of three shows in New York under NYU in September 2013 using NYU students. "Murder at the Gates" is set in a posh gated community in a manor where a costume birthday party is being held for a murder mystery play but the play becomes her life.

paragraph: After spending 2009 with the Lions' farm team in the Eastern League, Asamura was a part of the first-team squad at the start of the 2010 season. In 2011, he spent the entire year as a starting member of the team. However, his fielding position was not constant, including stints in the outfield. In the month of October he recorded a batting average of .460 and won the Monthly MVP award. In 2012, he again started the year with the first-team squad, but poor batting form saw him relegated to the farm team in late May. He became the team's leadoff hitter in August following an injury to Takumi Kuriyama.

On 21 May 2014, Asamura collided with a teammate in a match against the Yomiuri Giants. In the following days he started to feel pain in his left knee but continued as a starter until June 4. He eventually succumbed to the injury and was removed from the Lions' roster on June 5; he missed 6 weeks of play before returning just prior to the All-Star break as a pinch hitter on 15 July. At the time of his injury he was leading the Lions in both home runs and RBIs but struggled upon his return, finishing the season with only half of the RBIs he scored in the previous year. He described 2014 as a "miserable season in all facets". At the end of the season he underwent surgery on his left shoulder.

paragraph: Asamura had a limited pre-season but was at full health for the start of the 2015 season; he maintained his fitness and missed only 2 of the Lions' 143 games. He scored 81 RBIs in the season but his 13 home runs remained low when compared to the 27 hit in 2013. In September 2015 Asamura was included in the 45-man squad that was selected to represent Japan at the 2015 WBSC Premier12 tournament in Taiwan, however was not included in the final 28-man roster that was announced in October.

paragraph: James Henry Bennett

paragraph: James Henry Bennet (1816–1891) was an English doctor who helped popularize the French Riviera as a Winter holiday destination in the 19th century with his 1861 book "Winter and Spring on the Shores of the Mediterranean". Bennet has been described by the Menton Tourist Board as the "Inventor of the Menton resort".

paragraph: Bennet studied medicine in Paris, and after working as a doctor for 25 years contracted tuberculosis. Bennet went to the small coastal village of Menton in the South of France, close to the Italian border in 1859, wanting to "...die in a quiet corner, like a wounded denizen of the forest". Bennet's health greatly improved, and visited Italy the next year, but found the "unhygienic state of the large towns of that classical land undid the good previously obtained". He returned to Menton and started a medical practice, and completely healed, returned to England in the Summer to see his patients. His routine would be to spend Winter in Menton, and take a holiday in April and May, to study the Mediterranean climate and vegetation, traveling to Genoa, in Italy, before returning to England in the Summer.

paragraph: Menton was connected by rail to Paris in 1869, which greatly increased the Alpes-Maritimes popularity as a destination for visitors. The construction of a rail link in 1861 between Nice and Ventimiglia, in Italy, meant that the coastal road could be avoided, which had previously been subjected to dangerous mudslides. Bennet still advised his patients to come to Menton by road to "enjoy the wonderful spectacle." At the foothills of the Alps, Menton was sheltered from the winds, cold and heavy rain that characterised the regions weather. Enjoying a winter in mild weather provided a psychological boost for Bennet's patients, he wrote that they were "so charmed by the sun, the spectacle of nature and vegetation, they almost forgot their troubles." Bennet described the attractions of Menton and the South of France to his patients, finding that invoking the "...beauties of nature, the magnificence of the sun ...the intoxication of the ever-changing sea, they were able to face the long and difficult journey to the south". Bennet felt that the hot and dry climate of the French Riviera as well as a proper diet cured tuberculosis sufferers.

paragraph: With the publication of Bennet's books, Menton's popularity as a destination greatly increased. His books were translated into German, and published in the United States. From "two or three hotels" in Menton in 1861, over 30 hotels had been built by 1875.

paragraph: Notable patients of Bennet's included Robert Louis Stevenson and Queen Victoria.

paragraph: Bennet bought a ruined tower with land on the hills above Menton, creating an eight-acre garden. He would also travel to San Remo and Marseille to meet experts in horticulture. Bennet's garden was even visited by Queen Victoria and her youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice.

paragraph: A street, Rue J.H. Bennet is named after Bennet in Menton, and a monument was erected to Bennett in Menton's Rue Partouneaux.

paragraph: Margaret Corbin

paragraph: Margaret Cochran Corbin (November 12, 1751 – January 16, 1800) was a woman who fought in the American Revolutionary War. On November 16, 1776, her husband, John Corbin, was one of some 600 American soldiers defending Fort Washington in northern Manhattan from 4,000 attacking Hessian troops under British command. Margaret, too nervous to let her husband go into battle alone, decided she wanted to go with him. Since she was a nurse, she was allowed to accompany her husband as a nurse for the injured soldiers. John Corbin was on the crew one of two cannons the defenders deployed; when he fell in action, Margaret Corbin took his place and continued to work the cannon until she too was seriously wounded. It is said that Corbin was standing next to her husband when he fell during battle. Immediately, she took his post, and because she had watched her husband, a trained artilleryman, fire the cannon so much, she was able to fire, clean and aim the cannon with great ease and speed. This impressed the other soldiers and was the beginning of her military career. She later became the first woman in U.S. history to receive a pension from Congress for military service because she could no longer work due to injury and was enlisted into the Corps of Invalids.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Margaret Cochran was born in Western Pennsylvania on November 12, 1751 in what is now Franklin County. Her parents were Robert Cochran, a Scots-Irish immigrant, and his wife, Sarah. In 1756, when Margaret was five years old, her parents were attacked by Native Americans. Her father was killed, and her mother was kidnapped, never to be seen again — Margaret and her brother, John, escaped the raid because they were not at home. Margaret lived with her uncle for the rest of her childhood.

paragraph: In 1772, at the age of 21, Margaret married a Virginia farmer named John Corbin.

paragraph: Section::::American Revolutionary War.

paragraph: When the war began, John enlisted in the First Company of Pennsylvania Artillery as a matross, an artilleryman who was one of the members of a cannon crew. As was common at the time for wives of soldiers, Margaret became a camp follower, accompanying John during his enlistment. She joined many other wives in cooking, washing, and caring for the wounded soldiers. She acquired the nickname "Molly Pitcher" (as did many other women who served in the war) by bringing water during fighting, both for thirsty soldiers and to cool overheated cannons.

paragraph: On November 16, 1776, Fort Washington, where John's company was part of the garrison left behind when General George Washington retreated with the Continental Army to White Plains, New York, was attacked by the British. John Corbin was in charge of firing a small cannon at the top of a ridge, today known as Fort Tryon Park. During an assault by the Hessians, John was killed, leaving his cannon unmanned. Margaret had been with her husband on the battlefield the entire time, and, after witnessing his death, she immediately took his place at the cannon, continuing to fire until her arm, chest, and jaw were hit by enemy fire. The British ultimately won the Battle of Fort Washington, resulting in the surrender of Margaret and her comrades and the taking of the last American position in New York City. As the equivalent of a wounded soldier, Margaret was released by the British on parole.

paragraph: Section::::American Revolutionary War.:After the Battle of Fort Washington.

paragraph: After the battle, Margaret went to Philadelphia, completely disabled from her wound, and never fully healed. Life was difficult for her because of her injury, and in 1779 she received aid from the government. On June 29, the Executive Council of Pennsylvania granted her $30 to cover her present needs, and passed her case on to Congress’s Board of War. On July 6, 1779, the Board, sympathetic to Margaret’s injuries and impressed with her service and bravery, granted her half the monthly pay of a soldier in the Continental Army and a new set of clothes or its equivalent in cash. With this act, Congress made Margaret the first woman in the United States to receive a military pension from Congress.

paragraph: After Congress’s decision, Margaret was included on military rolls until the end of the war. She was enrolled in the Corps of Invalids, created by Congress for wounded soldiers. In 1781, the Corps of Invalids became part of the garrison at West Point, New York. She was discharged from the Continental Army in 1783.

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: Corbin received financial support from the government after the war, the first woman to do so. She died in Highland Falls, New York, on January 16, 1800, at the age of 48.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: A memorial commemorating her heroism was erected in 1909 near the scene of her service on the C. K. G. Billings Estate, in what would later become New York City's Fort Tryon Park. In addition, after the park was constructed, "Margaret Corbin Circle" lies just outside the main entrance, and "Margaret Corbin Drive" connects the circle through the park to the Henry Hudson Parkway. A plaque honoring Corbin, placed by the Chamber of Commerce of Washington Heights in 1982, is located on the eastern of the two stone plynths which mark the start of Margaret Corbin Drive. A large Art Deco mural depicting the Battle of Fort Washington scene decorates the lobby of a nearby apartment building at 720 Fort Washington Avenue. According to the New York Historical Association, Corbin was "honored as no woman of the revolution has ever been honored before."

paragraph: In 1926, The New York State Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) verified Margaret's records and recognized her heroism and service to the United States through the papers of General Henry Knox. Remains believed to be hers were exhumed and re-interred with full military honors at the cemetery of the United States Military Academy at West Point behind the Old Cadet Chapel in the West Point Cemetery. The Margaret Corbin Monument was erected by the DAR at the gravesite. However, a 2017 archeological study revealed that the remains that had been moved were not those of Corbin, but rather an unknown male. The location of Corbin's remains is unknown.

paragraph: Angelo Tartaglia

paragraph: Angelo Broglio da Lavello, known as Angelo Tartaglia (1350 or 1370–1421), was an Italian condottiero and nobleman, captain of the Papal Army, lord of Lavello and Toscanella.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Lavello, Basilicata, Tartaglia trained at the military school of Ceccolo Broglia and served the Republic of Florence. On 26 June 1402, he fought in the Battle of Casalecchio; he was charged with overseeing the bridge of Reno, but he left his position to participate in the combat, leaving the camps without any defense on his side. His imprudence cost the defeat of his army, and Tartaglia was captured and imprisoned.

paragraph: Released, he assumed responsibility for the defeat, but not enough to appease the wrath of Muzio Attendolo Sforza. Relations between Tartaglia and Sforza became bad, resulting in a strong rivalry. In 1409, he fought in the service of Ladislaus of Naples, defending Perugia and Civitavecchia from the assaults of Braccio da Montone and conquering Rome, scaring away the antipope John XXIII.

paragraph: As a token of gratitude, Ladislaus gave him the title of Lord of Toscanella in 1413. In 1418, he swore allegiance to Pope Martin V and occupied Assisi one year later and other territories between Lazio and Umbria. Tartaglia was arrested while sleeping by his rival, Muzio Attendolo. After being tortured, he was decapitated at Aversa in 1421.

paragraph: John Fulton (instrument maker)

paragraph: John Fulton (1803–1853) was a Scottish instrument maker who originally trained as a cobbler. He built three orrerys in a workshop attached to at his home, now demolished, in the Kirton Brae area of Fenwick and was eventually appointed instrument maker to King William IV, moving to London, but retiring to Fenwick. He is buried in the Fenwick Kirk graveyard.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: It is recorded that John's father, also a cobbler, was a subscribing member to the library set up in the village by the Fenwick Weavers. With access to this library, John pursued his interest in astronomy, mathematics, physics, and other disciplines that led to his career as an instrument maker of outstanding ability and achievement. Largely self-taught, he studied botany, learned several foreign languages, constructed a ‘velocipede’ or early bicycle, and experimented with the production of coal gas. He had left school at the age of 13.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Orrerys.

paragraph: Astronomy held a particular fascination for him, so much so that he was prompted to construct, in his spare time in the years between 1823 and 1833, three working models of the solar system, known as orrerys. The third of these is now on display in Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum: it was the most intricate and took him four years to finish. It measured 1000mm x 3000mm x 3000mm. Entirely his own work, it has 175 wheels and more than 200 moving parts and is acknowledged to be one of the best in the world. The Society of Arts, who awarded him a silver medal, calculated that his third orrery was the most perfect built up to that time.

paragraph: Fulton took the orrery on a tour of the United Kingdom. Such was the public interest that in 1869 a group of Glasgow businessmen led by William Walker bought the orrery for the city. It was brought up from London and then toured around Glasgow schools and museums until the 1930s when it found a more permanent home in the Old Glasgow Museum.

paragraph: A local story relates that Fulton 'borrowed' his grandmother’s candlesticks and melted them down to provide the brass for his first orrery model.

paragraph: Section::::John Fulton Memorial Hall.

paragraph: This is the public meeting hall for Fenwick, maintained by East Ayrshire Council. It was previously the Guthrie Memorial Free Church of 1844, and following a worldwide fund raising campaign sufficient funds had been raised by 1919 and the hall was opened in 1920.

paragraph: Clyde Lovellette

paragraph: Clyde Edward Lovellette ( ; September 7, 1929 – March 9, 2016) was an American professional basketball player. He was the first basketball player in history to play on an NCAA championship team, Olympics gold medal basketball team, and NBA championship squad. As a high school junior (1946/47), Lovellette's previously undefeated high school team in Terre Haute, Indiana lost in the Indiana state championship finals to Shelbyville, Indiana led by Bill Garrett.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Lovellette fostered the trend of tall, physical and high-scoring centers. A two-time All-State performer at Garfield High School in Terre Haute, Indiana, the six-foot-nine Lovellette later attended the University of Kansas where he became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

paragraph: While at the University of Kansas he led Jayhawks to the 1952 NCAA title, capturing MVP honors and scoring a then-NCAA-record 141 points. A two-time first-team All-American at Kansas, Clyde led the Big Seven in scoring in each of his three seasons.

paragraph: Saitō Yoshitatsu

paragraph: Yoshitatsu was the son of Saitō Dōsan, however, rumors that Yoshitatsu was in fact not Dosan's real son (that is, that he was actually Yorinari's son) persisted and Dôsan apparently began to think of naming one of his other sons, Nagatatsu, as heir. Yoshitatsu had come to suspect his father's intentions. Though he actually did suffer from leprosy, Yoshitatsu feigned illness and murdered his two younger brothers in 1555 and declared war on Dosan. In May 1556 Yoshitatsu led an army to the Nagaragawa river, prompting Dosan to take up a position on the opposite side of the river. Yoshitatsu's vanguard opened the attack by crossing the river and cutting deeply into Dosan's ranks. They nearly reached Dosan's headquarters before being savaged by a counterattack. Yoshitatsu then led the bulk of his forces across the river and in the course of the fighting Dosan was killed. Yoshitatsu thereafter assumed control of Mino. He proved a capable commander and was able to defeat attempts by Oda Nobunaga to avenge Dôsan's death, but died of his illness in 1561.

paragraph: Yoshitatsu's son, Saitō Tatsuoki, was defeated by Oda Nobunaga in 1564; and the clan disappeared.

paragraph: Francesco della Penna

paragraph: Francesco Orazio della Penna (1680 – July 20, 1745), born Luzio Olivieri, was a Capuchin missionary to Tibet who became prefect of the Tibetan Mission.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Pennabilli, Della Penna entered the Capuchin monastery of Pietrarubbia. While he was there, a decree by the Sacra Congregazione di Propaganda Fide declared the establishment of a Catholic mission “"in the direction of the source of the Ganges River, towards the kingdom of Tibet.” Della Penna was amongst those selected, and he arrived in Lhasa on June 12, 1707. He returned to Rome after the penniless and starving missionaries decided to reorganize their efforts; he returned to Lhasa in 1716. Della Penna studied the Tibetan language and culture at the monastery of Sera under a Lama.

paragraph: During his stay, Della Penna began composing a Tibetan-Italian dictionary. By 1732, the dictionary composed about 33,000 words. He also translated some important Tibetan works. He translated into Tibetan Bellarmine's "Christian Doctrine" and Thurlot's "Treasure of Christian Doctrine". From Tibetan into Italian, he translated the "History of the life and works of Shakiatuba, the restorer of Lamaism", "Three roads leading to perfection", and "On transmigration and prayer to God". A Tibetan printing works was eventually built during Della Penna's stay.

paragraph: Della Penna returned to Rome in 1736 to seek help and support there. He received it from the Spanish prelate Cardinal Belluga and Della Penna arrived in Lhasa on January 6, 1741.

paragraph: Della Penna was well liked in Tibet; he was called the “white head Lama” and was respected for his learning and knowledge of Tibetan culture and language. However, he ran into problems he did not foresee when the seventh Dalai Lama, Kelsang Gyatso, granted him and his fellow missionaries freedom of worship and proselytism. After twenty Tibetan men and women were converted to Christianity, they refused to accept the Dalai Lama's blessing and to take part in the obligatory lamaistic prayers. After a long trial on the 22d of May 1742, five Christian Tibetans were flogged. Della Penna was given an audience with the Dalai Lama but the mission’s fate was sealed. He set off for Nepal in 1745, but died at Patan on July 20, 1745.

paragraph: Hugh, Count of Brienne

paragraph: Hugh, Count of Brienne and Lecce ( – 9 August 1296) was the second surviving son of Count Walter IV of Brienne and Marie de Lusignan of Cyprus.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: His father, Count of Jaffa and Ascalon in Palestine, was murdered in 1244 in Cairo, and was succeeded by his elder son, John.

paragraph: On the death of John (c. 1260), Hugh inherited the County of Brienne, in France, and the family's claims in southern Italy, including the Principality of Taranto and the County of Lecce, which had been confiscated in 1205.

paragraph: He claimed the regency of the Kingdom of Jerusalem (and, indirectly, a place in the succession) in 1264 as senior heir of Alice of Jerusalem and Hugh I of Cyprus, being the son of their eldest daughter, but was passed over by the "Haute Cour" in favor of his cousin Hugh of Antioch, and thereafter took little part in the affairs of Outremer. His first cousin King Hugh II of Cyprus died in 1267, and despite Hugh's rights as the senior heir, Hugh of Antioch, was crowned as Hugh III of Cyprus. When his second cousin's son Conradin, King of Jerusalem, was killed in 1268, the succession again went to the junior cousin Hugh III.

paragraph: Hugh decided to seek his fortune in Europe rather than Outremer, and took service under Charles I of Naples. Charles made him Captain-General of Brindisi, Otranto and Apulia and Lord of Conversano, and he was an enthusiastic partisan of the Angevin cause in Italy. For this service, his family's County of Lecce was restored to him. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of the Gulf of Naples in 1284 with Charles II of Naples and again at the Battle of the Counts in 1287, both times in sea battles against Roger of Lauria. On one of these occasions, he obtained his parole by leaving his only son Walter as a hostage. He was killed in Sicily, at the Battle of Gagliano, fighting Catalan Almogavars, and was succeeded by Walter.

paragraph: In 1291, he married Helena Angelina Komnene, the widow of William de la Roche, Duke of Athens, and regent for her underage son Guy II de la Roche. He thus became "bailli" of the Duchy of Athens until Guy II's coming of age in 1296.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: Hugh's first wife was Isabella de la Roche, heiress of Thebes. She bore him two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Walter of Brienne (d. 1311), Duke of Athens, his heir.

paragraph: His second wife was Helena Angelina Komnene. She bore him one daughter:
