paragraph: Elias of Enna

paragraph: Saint Elias of Enna, born John Rachites (; 822/823 in Enna – August 17, 903 in Thessaloniki), is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. Elias is also known as Saint Elias the Younger, or Junior, to distinguish him from the biblical prophet Elijah. He lived a very adventurous life during the ninth century and was the protagonist of repeated ups and downs. He is commemorated on Aug. 17.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Because of the Muslim conquest of Sicily, John forced to abandon the town, which was conquered by the Saracens in 859, despite its strength as a military stronghold. The Arabs still managed to imprison Elias, who was taken to Ifriqiya to be sold as a slave. After managing to regain his freedom, Elias decided to preach the Gospel, putting more times to risk his own life, and arrived in Palestine, he received the monastic habit from the Patriarch of Jerusalem. After three years in a monastery of Sinai, Brother Elias undertaken an adventurous travel series, going first to Alexandria in Egypt, and Persia, Antioch and again to Africa. After 878 Syracuse also fell into Arab hands. Elias returned to the island, where he met his elderly mother in Palermo. At Taormina he met Daniel, his new disciple. Going north, Elias lived in Calabria, where in the year 884, in the "Valley of Salt" and precisely on Mount Aulinas (now Mount Saint Elias near Palmi), he founded a monastery later named after him. subsequent Arab invasions forced Elias to repair to Patras in Greece, and then at Santa Caterina in Aspromonte.

paragraph: Elias then went on a pilgrimage to Rome. The adventures, the wonders and the work of evangelization that Elias had undertaken on three continents extended his fame to Constantinople, where the Byzantine Emperor Leo VI the Wise invited him to visit. Elias, however, now seventy, though he had begun the journey to Constantinople, fell ill and died at Thessaloniki. The most faithful friend and companion, the monk Daniel, buried him in the monastery of Monte Aulinas, at Palmi, founded by the saint.

paragraph: Christopher Parkening

paragraph: Christopher William Parkening (born December 14, 1947) is an American classical guitarist. He holds the Chair of Classical Guitar at Pepperdine University under the title Distinguished Professor of Music.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Parkening was born in Los Angeles, California. His cousin Jack Marshall, a studio musician active in the 1960s, introduced Parkening to the recordings of Andrés Segovia when he was 11 and encouraged his classical guitar studies. By the age of 19 he had embarked on a professional career of regular touring and recording.

paragraph: Segovia has stated that, "Christopher Parkening is a great artist—-he is one of the most brilliant guitarists in the world."

paragraph: At age 30, Parkening withdrew from public performances and recording seeking a respite from the demands of a professional career and a chance to pursue his hobby of flyfishing. During this period Parkening rarely played guitar choosing instead to focus his attention on his Montana ranch and trout stream. While visiting his Southern California home in winter; a neighbor invited Parkening to the Grace Community Church. Profoundly affected by this experience Parkening returned to recording and performing with a renewed sense of purpose. He then released "Simple Gifts", an album of traditional Christian hymns arranged for classical guitar. His autobiography "Grace Like a River" was published in 2006.

paragraph: Parkening has recorded extensively for Angel and EMI Classics. He has been nominated twice for a Grammy Award. Notable recordings include "Parkening Plays Vivaldi" featuring a selection of Baroque concertos, "Pleasures of Their Company" with soprano Kathleen Battle, produced by Patti Laursen and nominated for the 1986 Classical Record of the Year Grammy Award as well as the world premiere recording of Peter Warlock's "Capriol Suite" with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

paragraph: As an educator, Parkening has been instrumental in cementing the guitar's reputation and esteem within academia. He created the guitar department at the University of Southern California in 1969, when he was only 22, and he was serving as the head of the department when he first retired from public performance at age 30. During his famous sabbatical from the guitar, spent mostly fly-fishing in Montana, he agreed to found a guitar department at Montana State University, and he did what he terms a "token" amount of teaching at MSU during this time. He was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Music from Montana State University in 1983. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Music and Chair in Classical Guitar at Pepperdine University, where, in addition to his work with guitar majors, he also teaches a public master class. In a 2013 interview, Parkening said that he is retired from the concert stage and is focused on his family and teaching.

paragraph: Christopher-Lee Dos Santos

paragraph: Christopher-Lee dos Santos is a South African film director and screenwriter perhaps best known for the 2013 independent film "Angel of the Skies".

paragraph: Section::::Education and early work.

paragraph: Dos Santos graduated in Honours from the African Film and Drama Academy (AFDA) in South Africa in 2008, majoring in directing and screenwriting and minoring in psychology and sociology. During his school years, dos Santos wrote and directed over 10 short films, and during his third year of studies, completely independent of his film school, he wrote and co-directed a 50+ minute short feature, "Brothers in Arms", which aired on MNET in 2006. He also had early work as a set decorator on Neil Blomkamp's unfinished Halo (series), and in working on visual effects for such short films as "In a Place Without Love".

paragraph: Dos Santos was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1984.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 2007, for his graduation student film, Dos Santos wrote and directed "At Thy Call", an award-winning short film about ethnic tension and military discipline in the South African Defence Force. The student film was produced for R40 000 ($2400) and screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008, as well as screening at Cape Winelands Film Festival, Durban International Film Festival and Coal Stove Festival, where it won best Visual effects, Best Cinematography and best short film. Fidel Namisi went on to write "The grand finale was at Thy Call, by Chris Dos Santos (DS Films). Having screened another film of Chris's at Off the Shelf last year ( the Coal Stove Award-winning Ortega Prospekt), At thy Call was a study in the development of the personal style of Chris as a filmmaker. If there is one word that could be used to describe Chris, it would have to be gutsy. Why else would a kid from AFDA make a historical war epic that explores racial tensions between Afrikaners and Englishmen during the border wars of the 1980s? Dos Santos has also directed various music videos in South Africa, including "Guinness" by the Sunday Punchers and "Turning in My Sleep" by Prime Circle. He has directed two international feature films, namely "Angel of the Skies" and "Last. Broken. Darkness."

paragraph: Section::::Feature films.

paragraph: Dos Santos got his first short feature film (56 minutes) debut at the age of 22 when his independent film Brothers in Arms: 1978, was aired on the national broadcasting network M-Net in South Africa in 2006. Dos Santos wrote, co produced and directed the film with Dino Pappas, a long time friend and collaborator. Dos Santos was still in film school at the time of its completion. The film went on to win awards at the Apollo film festival and KKNK (Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees) festival in Western Cape that same year.

paragraph: Section::::Feature films.:"Angel of the Skies".

paragraph: In 2011, at the age of 26, dos Santos directed "Angel of the Skies", his first full-length independent feature film, which he also wrote. Angel of the Skies follows the story of South African Air Force pilot, Earl Kirk, played by Nicholas van der Bijl, who volunteers to fly for the British Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He and his diverse commonwealth bomber crew find themselves behind enemy lines when their stricken aircraft crash lands in Nazi occupied Europe. Hunted down by SS soldiers, led by Stutze ("David James, District 9"), their attempt to return home is challenged, and a story emerges to reveal the heart of friendship in the face of death.

paragraph: The film was produced by Andrew MacDonald, and executive produced by Diony Kempen and dos Santos. The film was a joint co-production between Welela Studios and DS Films Entertainment, the latter being dos Santos' own production house. The cast included fellow AFDA film students Nic Van Der Bijl, Jason Glanville, Brad Backhouse, Andre Frauenstein, Ryan Dittman, Nic Rasenti and introduced Australian actress Lillie Claire and fellow Australian Adam Boys. dos Santos cast David James as the film's antagonist. The film was shot entirely in Gauteng, South Africa in 19 days, on Canon 7D HDSLR cameras with a budget of $30,000. The film took dos Santos four years to complete from when he first started writing in 2009 till completion in 2013. Due to the small budget, and being inspired by Robert Rodriguez' book, "A Rebel Without a Crew", dos Santos taught himself 3d animation and visualeEffects during 2009 and 2010, thus enabling him to create the visual effects for the film himself. Filming of "Angel of the Skies" took place in August 2011 and was shot on locations such as the South African Air Force Museum, Air Force Base Swartkop and Cullinan area.

paragraph: Angel of the Skies was picked up by Kaleidoscope Film Distribution in the United Kingdom in March 2013. The film was then shown at the Marché du Film at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival with Kaleidoscope acting as the films worldwide sales agent. Together, the film was successful in securing distribution in 27 international territories, a first for dos Santos. These territories include United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, Brazil, Italy, Korea, Japan, Germany, Australia and most of Europe. The film never secured a release in South Africa, dos Santos' home territory.

paragraph: Since the release of "Angel of the Skies" in 2013, dos Santos has been praised for his ability to make his projects look more expensive than they cost to produce. In an interview for Tonight's magazine IOL, dos Santos was asked by having achieved so much with a low budget, what advice he'd give aspiring film-makers. His response was "“Don’t give up. Stick to your guns. People will say you can’t do it, but don’t listen to them. In fact, people told me I wouldn’t do it. I stuck through it and I believed in it, it took me four years and it does pay off. The film got international distribution. So it’s great that it’s playing worldwide.”"

paragraph: "Angel of the Skies" was released in Germany on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD (video on demand) on 19 November 2013 under the title "Wings of Honour" as well as being released in the United Kingdom on similar platforms on 4 November 2013 under the title "Battle for the Skies". The film was released under its proper title, Angel of the Skies, in the USA on 31 December 2013 through distributor eOne through DVD, Bluray, and various online platforms such as iTunes, Microsoft Store, and Netflix in Canada.

paragraph: In March 2014, dos Santos began writing his 2nd feature film, titled "Last Broken Darkness." Principal photography started a year later on May 6, 2015, for a period of 27 shooting days. The film was shot entirely in Johannesburg South Africa, and stars Sean Cameron Michael, Brandon Auret, Brendan Murray and introduces newcomer Suraya Rose Santos.

paragraph: Section::::Feature films.:"Last Broken Darkness".:AWARDS.

paragraph: Last Broken Darkness first played to a public audience in February 2017 at the Boston Sci-Fi film festival, the oldest and longest running genre film festival of its kind, which screens over 100 genre films during the 10 day festival. The film was well received, winning two awards, namely best performance for Sean Cameron Michael and best screenplay for dos Santos.

paragraph: In late 2017, at the SASC (South African Society of Cinematographers) awards dinner, the very prestigious Visible Spectrum award for best cinematography in a feature film, the highest accolade given by the SASC, was awarded to cinematographer William Collinson"," for his exemplary work on Last Broken Darkness. Collinson worked extremely close with dos Santos during both pre production and production of the film, helping create the beautiful dystopian post apocalyptic world that dos Santos wanted his story to take place in.

paragraph: John, Landgrave of Lower Hesse

paragraph: Landgrave John of Lower Hesse (c. 1278 – 14 February 1311) was a son of Landgrave Henry I of Hesse, from his second marriage with Mechthild of Cleves. John reigned from 1308 to 1311 as Landgrave in Lower Hesse.

paragraph: Section::::Inheritance dispute.

paragraph: From 1292, there was an inheritance dispute in the House of Hesse, between Henry's sons from his two marriages, as his second wife demanded a share for her own children. This led to armed clashes which lasted until Henry's death. Henry the Younger, Henry's oldest son from his first marriage to Adelaide of Brunswick, had been co-ruler from 1284. At Mechtild's insistence, John was made co-ruler in 1296. Henry the Younger died in 1298 and his brother Otto I took his place. The inheritance was eventually divided after Henry died in 1308. John received Lower Hesse with the capital Kassel and the imperial fiefs. His half-brother Otto I received the "Land of the Lahn", the later Upper Hesse, with the capital Marburg. Otto's part did not include imperial fiefs.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Hesse had mortgaged Gudensberg to the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg. In 1309, John conquered the city and forced Duke Albert II of Brunswick-Göttingen to accept his repayment. Emperor Henry VII appointed him protector of the free imperial cities of Mühlhausen, Nordhausen and Goslar. Margrave Frederick I saw this as an intrusion into his Landgraviate of Thuringia and took up arms to stop the intrusion. The fight went badly for John and he had to retire to Kassel to recover.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: John died of the plague on 14 February 1311 in Kassel. He was buried in the Ahnaberg monastery. No further hostitlites between John and Frederick took place and John's plan to create a new fortified city on the Thuringian side of the river Fulda was never implemented.

paragraph: After John's death, Lower Hesse fell to Otto I.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In 1306, John married Adelaide of Brunswick-Lüneburg, the daughter of Duke Albert II of Brunswick-Göttingen. Like her husband, she died of the plague in 1311 in Kassel. She was buried beside her husband in Ahnaberg monastery.

paragraph: John and Adelaide had a daughter, Elisabeth (d. 1339). She married Otto VI of Ochsenstein.

paragraph: Mephisto (wrestler)

paragraph: Mephisto (born December 12, 1968) is the ring name of a Mexican "luchador enmascarado", or masked professional wrestler and currently works for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). His real name is not a matter of official record as he is an "enmascarado", which by "lucha libre" traditions means that his personal life is kept secret from the general public.

paragraph: Mephisto is the son of Luchador Astro Rey/Kahoz and has previously worked both as Astro Rey Jr. and Kahoz Jr. but has been most successful as Mephisto. Since adopting the Mephisto gimmick he has been associated with the group "Los Infernales" ("The Infernal Ones") and later on "Los Hijos del Averno" ("The Sons of Hell"), especially working closely with Averno as his regular tag team partner for years. Mephisto and Averno are considered one of the top teams in Mexico between 2000 and 2010.

paragraph: He is currently the leader of "Los Hijos del Infierno" ("The Sons of the Inferno") that also includes Ephesto and Luciferno. While working as Mephisto he has won multiple individual CMLL championships and held the Mexican National Trios Championship with the other "Hijos del Infierno". Previous he has held the CMLL World Tag Team Championship (3 times), CMLL World Trios Championship, CMLL World Welterweight Championship, Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship, Mexican National Welterweight Championship , NWA World Welterweight Championship and was the first ever holder of the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: The man who would grow up to wrestle as Mephisto was born on December 12, 1968 in Mexico City, son of Alberto Leonel Hernández López, better known as the "Luchador" (professional wrestler) "Astro Rey" (Spanish for "Astro King") and later on as "Kahoz". By 1971 his father had started wrestling which meant that the future Mephisto grew up around wrestlers, wanting to become one himself from a very early age.

paragraph: After training under his father, and his uncle the "luchador" known as "El Gallo Giro", he made his debut as "Kahoz Jr.", as a tribute to his father's final wrestling character. From 1988 until 1993 he wrestled as Kahoz Jr. for various promotions in Mexico. His father, however, urged him to change gimmicks to the one that got his father the most fame "Astro Rey Jr.". As Astro Rey Jr. or simply "Astro Jr." he travelled the world and wrestled extensively in Mexico and Japan. On March 22, 1999 Astro Rey Jr. won the Mexican National Welterweight Championship from Arkangel de la Muerte and defended it several times during his 19-month reign. Astro Rey Jr. finally lost the title to Karloff Lagarde Jr. on October 23, 2000.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Los Infernales (2001-2009).

paragraph: Over the summer of 2001 El Satánico, the leader of a team known as "Los Infernales" ("The Infernal ones") was involved in a storyline with former "Infernales" team members Último Guerrero, Rey Bucanero, Tarzan Boy who had turned on him. CMLL decided to expand the storyline, teaming El Satánico up with two other wrestlers, both of whom were repackaged to fit with the "infernal" theme of El Satánico. The storyline was that El Satánico used his supposed "satanic powers" to turn the tecnico (face) Rencor Latino into one of his "minions", the rudo (heel) known as "Averno" ("Hell") in a televised segment. After this turn was completed they were joined by Mephisto, formerly Kahoz Jr. and Astro Rey Jr., but unlike Averno, no references to his previous identities were made at the time. Together the three became the new version of "Los Infernales" and feuded with the splinter group of Infernales consisting of Guerrero, Bucanero, Tarzan Boy and Máscara Mágica over the following year. A year later, September 2002 at the CMLL 68th Anniversary Show, the two groups faced off in a steel cage match to determine who had the rights to the "Los Infernales" name. In the end Satánico made Máscara Mágica submit gaining the rights for his own group as well as taking the mask of Máscara Mágica. After the steel cage match the feud between the two groups more or less ending, the splinter faction changed their name to "Los Guerreros del Infierno" ("The Warriors of the Inferno").

paragraph: On June 23, 2002, "Los Infernales" won the Mexican National Trios Championship from Olímpico, Mr. Niebla and Safari. After they won the championship they began feuding with "La Familia de Tijuana" (Nicho el Millonario, Halloween and Damián 666). The trio lost the title to "La Familia" on September 27, 2002 but continued feuding into 2003. When Nicho stopped appearing for CMLL the trios championship was vacated but Los Infernales refused to take them without a match. This storyline led to an eight-team trios title tournament which"Los Infernales" did not win. Instead "Los Infernales" did win a tournament to become the number one contenders for the CMLL World Trios Championship but lost to champions Black Tiger III, Dr. Wagner Jr. and Universo 2000 on August 1, 2003. At the end of the year, Averno and Mephisto turned on Satánico but there was little to feuding afterwards they split from the group and ventured out on their own. On February 4, 2004 Mephisto defeated El Satánico to win the CMLL World Welterweight Championship at CMLL’s home at Arena México.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Triada del Terror / Perros del Mal (2006-2008).

paragraph: Mephisto and Averno defeated Atlantis and Blue Panther for the CMLL World Tag Team Championship in a heated match on April 2, 2005. The team would defend the tag team titles several times over the next year in some very well received matches that led to several reporters labeling them as one of the best Mexican tag teams in the 21st century. Their most prominent defense was on the last Arena México show of 2005 when they defeated El Hijo del Santo and Negro Casas in the main event. In early 2006, they defended their titles against Místico and Black Warrior twice. In the first match, they won by disqualification when Black Warrior interfered in the match after being pinned. In the second match two weeks later, Black Warrior turned on Místico, starting a long-running storyline between the two. On April 14, 2006, they lost the tag team championship to the team of Místico and Negro Casas, ending their year-long reign.

paragraph: In late-2006/early-2007 Mephisto and Averno began teaming regularly with Ephesto (named after the Greek god Hephaestus), who was formerly known as Safari before. He was given an "underworld" character by CMLL and teamed up with Averno and Mephisto to create a regular trio team. The three came to the ring wearing black, hooded robes and were briefly introduced as "Los Ku Klux Klan", but soon after dropped the controversial name to become known as "La Triada del Terror" ("The Terror Trio"). While the team of Mephisto and Averno had been busy defending the CMLL Tag Team titles Mephisto also found time to defend the CMLL World Welterweight title he had worn for over three years, until he was finally defeated by CMLL’s rising star Místico on April 10, 2007, ending his title reign after days 1,141 days. In 2008 Mephisto and Averno were invited to join Perro Aguayo Jr.'s "Perros del Mal" ("The Bad Dogs") faction, while Ephesto was not asked to join them. The duo had only been a part of "Los Perros del Mal" for a short while before Aguayo Jr. and a number of other "Perros" members decided to leave CMLL. Mephisto and Averno remained with CMLL and teamed up with Ephesto once more as well as El Texano Jr. and El Terrible to form a group called "La Jauria del Terror" ("the Hounds of Terror", playing off the "Perros" name)

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Los Hijos del Averno (2009-2014).

paragraph: Not long after the group changed their name to "Los Hijos del Averno" ("The Sons of Hell"). On February 15, 2009, Mephisto unsuccessfully challenged Místico for the CMLL World Welterweight Championship on a New Japan Pro Wrestling show in Sumo Hall, Tokyo. On May 27, 2009 Mephisto defeated La Sombra to win the NWA World Welterweight Championship. During Mephisto's reign, the title was replaced with the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship. On August 16, 2010 it was announced that Mephisto was one of 14 men putting their mask on the line in a "Luchas de Apuestas" steel cage match, the main event of the CMLL 77th Anniversary Show. Mephisto was the second man to leave the steel cage as all three members of "Los Hijos del Averno" quickly left the cage, keeping their masks safe. The match came down to La Sombra pinning Olímpico to unmask him. On March 13, 2011, Mephisto lost the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship to La Sombra.

paragraph: In April 2011 El Terrible and El Texano, Jr. split from "Los Hijos del Averno" to form a new faction with Rey Bucanero called "" ("The TRT Power"). On July 15, "Los Hijos del Averno" defeated "La Generación Dorada" ("The Golden Generation"; Máscara Dorada, La Máscara and La Sombra) to win the CMLL World Trios Championship. They would lose the title to "El Bufete del Amor" (Marco Corleone, Máximo and Rush) on February 19, 2012. Mephisto returned to Japan in January 2013, when he took part in the three-day "Fantastica Mania 2013" event, co-promoted by CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling in Tokyo. During the first night on January 18, he teamed with Gedo and Jado to defeat Atlantis, Jushin Thunder Liger and Tiger Mask in a six-man tag team match. The following night, Mephisto and Okumura defeated Diamante and Máscara Dorada in a tag team match. During the third and final night, Mephisto teamed with Euforia and Kazuchika Okada in a six-man tag team main event, where they were defeated by Atlantis, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Prince Devitt. On August 13, Mephisto defeated La Máscara for the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship. In January 1, 2014, Mephisto defended the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship against Atlantis.

paragraph: In January 2014, Mephisto returned to Japan to take part in the five-day "Fantastica Mania 2014" tour. In the main event of the fourth show on January 18, he successfully defended the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship against Místico. Mephisto participated in the 2014 "La Copa Junior" VIP tournament in the first qualifying round that took place on the September 26, 2014 "Super Viernes" show. Mephisto first defeated Guerrero Maya Jr., then Shocker and finally Volador Jr. to qualify for the finals On October 10 Mephisto lost in the finals to Máximo.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Los Hijos del Infierno (2015-present).

paragraph: With Averno's exit from CMLL in 2014 Mephisto and Ephesto continued to team up, but never used the name ""Hijos del Averno"".Months later they began being introduced as ""Los Hijos del Infierno"", ("The Sons of the Infierno") where Mephisto became the leader of the team and they and added a third member, Luciferno, (formerly known as Hooligan). In January 2015, Mephisto returned to Japan to take part in the "Fantastica Mania 2015" tour, during which he joined Bullet Club and successfully defended the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship against Stuka Jr.

paragraph: On August 9, 2015 "Los Hijos del Infierno" defeated "Los Reyes de la Atlantida" ("The Kings of the Atlantis"; Atlantis, Delta and Guerrero Maya Jr.) to win the Mexican National Trios Championship, Mephisto's second Trios title reign and the first team championship for "Los Hijos del Infierno". Atlantis defeated Mephisto to win the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship on August 24, 2015, ending Mephisto's reign after 741 days. In January 2016, Mephisto returned to NJPW to take part in the "Fantastica Mania 2016" tour, during which no reference was made to his previous association with Bullet Club. In the main event of the final show, Mephisto unsuccessfully challenged Volador Jr. for the NWA World Historic Welterweight Championship. On May 2, 2016 Mephisto defeated Máscara Dorada to win the CMLL World Welterweight Championship for the second time.

paragraph: Amadeus I of Geneva (1098–1178) was count of Geneva. He succeeded his father in the county's government in 1128, and remained count of Geneva until his death in 1178. Amadeus was the son of Aymon I of Geneva (the preceding count) and of Ida Faucigny.

paragraph: Newton Bateman

paragraph: Newton Bateman (July 27, 1822 – October 21, 1897) was an American academic, educational administrator, and editor from New Jersey. Raised in poverty, Bateman came with his family to Illinois at a young age then earned his way into Illinois College. After graduating, he again struggled to make ends meet before an anonymous donor sent him a large sum of money. He used it to establish a private school in St. Louis, Missouri. He was later elected superintendent of schools in Morgan County, Illinois, then served as Illinois Superintendent of Public Instruction (1859–63, 1865–1875). He resigned to become president of Knox College. Late in his life, he published an encyclopedia of the state. Bateman was an associate of Abraham Lincoln and is the source of a controversial account of his religious views.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Newton Bateman was born in Bridgeton, New Jersey on July 27, 1822. His father was a weaver who struggled with the growth of industrialization. He moved the family west when Bateman was eleven. His mother died of Asiatic cholera on their way to their new home in Meredosia, Illinois. The family continued to struggle through poverty. To help support the family, Bateman took a job as an errand-boy for a prominent jurist in Jacksonville, Illinois. He fell in love with the jurist's daughter, but was not of proper social class to ask her hand in marriage. However, this inspired Bateman to pursue an education.

paragraph: Bateman cut timber to raise money for schooling. He then attended the preparatory department of Illinois College before matriculating there in 1839. Bateman's classmates appreciated his sense of humor. He taught his first class while studying there, a Latin course for the preparatory department. Bateman graduated in June 1843, intending to become a Presbyterian minister. He briefly studied at Lane Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio, but was forced to drop out due to a lack of funds. He then worked for a book agency, selling maps, but again fell into poverty. An anonymous donor sent Bateman some money and he used the funds to build a private school in northern St. Louis, Missouri, in 1845. Although he continued to struggle financially, he earned a reputation as a local leader in education.

paragraph: In 1847, the University of Missouri hired Bateman as a professor of mathematics. When Jacksonville, Illinois, established a free school in its west district in 1861, it named Bateman its superintendent. He soon became school commissioner of Morgan County, Illinois, in Jacksonville. While there, he joined the state teacher's association and advocated for the creation of the Illinois Industrial University and the Illinois State Normal University. He was named vice president of the Illinois Teachers' Association in 1855 and edited its publication, the "Illinois Teacher". He became the publications sole editor in 1858 and was named superintendent of the Jacksonville Female Academy.

paragraph: The Republican Party nominated Bateman for the office of Illinois Superintendent of Public Instruction. Bateman was elected and took office in January 1859. In his first term, he ensured that new schools must receive a state certificate to open. He was re-elected to another two-year term in 1861. He was defeated in a re-election bid in 1862, but was successful in another run in 1864. He would then hold the office for another decade. In his final year, he published an 83-page report suggesting a selection of books for school libraries.

paragraph: Bateman was offered the presidency of several colleges during his terms as state superintendent. In 1875, he agreed to assume the presidency of Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. He led the school for the next eighteen years. From 1877 to 1891, he was a member of the Illinois Board of Health. In failing health, he resigned in 1893, receiving a position as professor emeritus of the school. He taught only a singly class, spending most of his time compiling the "Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois".

paragraph: Bateman married Sarah Dayton in 1850, though she died on May 16, 1857. They had a son, Clifford Rush, and one daughter. He married Annie N. Tyler in 1859; they had two daughters together and adopted an orphaned niece. She died in 1877. Bateman died in Galesburg on October 21, 1897. He was buried there in Hope Cemetery. He is the namesake of Newton Bateman Elementary School in Chicago, Illinois.

paragraph: Section::::Bateman and Lincoln.

paragraph: Newton Bateman was a friend and political ally of Abraham Lincoln. When Lincoln would visit the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois, on political business, he would stay in the room next to the superintendent's. Lincoln jokingly referred to Bateman as his "little friend", as Bateman was short and Lincoln was tall. The two became close during a seven-month stay by Lincoln in 1860 during his presidential candidacy. An interaction between Bateman in Lincoln is of interest to biographers because of the way it portrays Lincoln's religious beliefs. When Josiah Gilbert Holland was seeking material for his "Life of Lincoln", he interviewed Bateman.

paragraph: According to Bateman, Lincoln asked him into his office one day to discuss a political canvass of Springfield. The canvass showed the intended votes of all Springfield voters, and Lincoln was vexed:

paragraph: Here are twenty-three, ministers, of different denominations, and all of them are against me but three; are here are a great many prominent members of the churches, a very large majority of whom are against me. Mr. Bateman, I am not Christian—God knows I could be one—but I have carefully read the Bible, and I do not so understand this book [the New Testament]. These men will know that I am for freedom in the territories, freedom everywhere as far as the Constitution and laws will permit, and that my opponents are for slavery. They know this, and yet, with this book in their hands, in the light of which human bondage cannot live a moment, they are going to vote against me. I do not understand it at all.

paragraph: Lincoln paused, then paced around the room. He then continued:

paragraph: I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I know that His hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me—and I think He has—I believe I am ready. I am nothing, but truth is everything. I know I am right because I know liberty is right, for Christ teaches it, and Christ is God. I have told them that a house divided against itself cannot stand, and so Christ and reason say the same; and they will find it so. Douglas don't care whether slavery is voted up or voted down, but God cares, and humanity cares, and I care; and with God's help I shall not fail. I may not see the end; but it will come, and I shall be vindicated; and these men will find that they have not read their Bibles aright.

paragraph: Holland's "Life of Lincoln" used this story to color Lincoln as a religious man. However, as soon as 1872, the story faced criticism. Ward Hill Lamon, a close associate of Lincoln, dismissed the story as inconsistent with Lincoln's character. Likewise, Lincoln's former law partner William Herndon found the story hard to believe even though he approved of the rest of Holland's biography. Herndon sought out Bateman and the two discussed the interview with Holland. Bateman repudiated that Lincoln claimed that "Christ is God", but supported Holland's interpretation. Herndon wrote about the discussion:

paragraph: On my word, the world may take for granted that Holland is wrong; that he does not state Mr. Lincoln's views correctly. Mr. Bateman, if correctly represented in Holland's "Life of Lincoln", is the only man, the sole and only man, who dare say that Lincoln believed in Jesus as the Christ of God, as the Christian world represents.

paragraph: Bateman largely maintained a public silence on the issue. When Isaac N. Arnold asked Bateman about the incident when writing his "The Life of Abraham Lincoln", Bateman replied that it was "substantially correct" without further elaboration. Bateman's interview with Lincoln is generally not included in modern biographies.

In 1984, he founded the "Mosaïques Ensemble" and in 1987 the string quartet "Quatuor Mosaïques" with Erich Höbarth, Andrea Bischof and Anita Mitterer, all players members of the Concentus Musicus Wien. The quartet has performed mostly works of the classical period on period instruments, with a focus on less known works. After a 2012 concert in New York, their playing was reviewed as "balancing period instruments and historically informed performance practice with contemporary interpretive impulses like no other". Since 1991, Coin has been director of the "Ensemble Baroque de Limoges", for performances of cantatas, oratorio and operas of the 17th and 18th century on period instruments.

paragraph: Since 1988, Coin has been a teacher for Baroque cello and viola da gamba at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris and at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. He has organised workshops on the building and playing of historic instruments.

paragraph: In 1991 he played as part of the sound-track to the French film "Tous les Matins du Monde".

paragraph: Section::::Selected recordings.

paragraph: Coin has recorded some 50 CDs, both as a soloist and with ensembles. Several of them were awarded prizes. He recorded Purcell's trio sonatas and Haydn's cello concertos with Christopher Hogwood. The Quatuor Mosaïques recorded Luigi Boccherini's quintets with Patrick Cohen playing pianoforte. Beginning in 1993, Coin conducted and played Bach's ten cantatas with violoncello piccolo within three years at the church of Ponitz, Thuringia, using its 1737 Gottfried Silbermann organ. Some cantatas feature the Leipziger Concerto Vocale, some the Chœur de Chambre Accentus, all the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges and soloists Barbara Schlick, Andreas Scholl, Christoph Prégardien and Gotthold Schwarz, including "Jesu, nun sei gepreiset", BWV 41 for New Year's Day. A review notes: "As the piccolo cello soloist the supremely talented Christophe Coin plays with authority displaying exceptional control of phrasing and dynamics". In 2004, he recorded with the Quatuor Mosaiques Haydn's six string quartets Op. 64.

The verdict was announced a day later and he was sentenced to death. Botwin's defense made a petition for the presidential pardon but it was rejected by the president Stanisław Wojciechowski. Naftali Botwin was executed by a firing squad on 6 August 1925 at the Brygidki prison in Lviv. Botwin did not want his eyes to be covered. In his last words Botwin exclaimed: ″Down with bourgeoisie! Long live the social revolution!″ He was buried at the Yaniv cemetery in Lviv.

paragraph: His account of the miracles attributed to the intercession of the local cult of Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel was published in Dutch and French, and soon translated into Spanish and English.

When he was translating "Diva Virgo Hallensis" by Justus Lipsius, Lipsius wrote to him on 9 April 1605 that he should not translate too literally, but in his own natural style, because "each language has its own character and as it were its own genius, which cannot be conveyed in another language".
