paragraph: Farhan al-Sa'di

paragraph: Sheikh Farhan al-Saadi (circa 1862 – 27 November 1937) was born in the village al-Mazar near Jenin, Palestine. He participated in national conferences and demonstrations against the British Mandate of Palestine, and in the 1929 Palestine riots. He is thought to have been the first to use a weapon during the 1936 revolt.

paragraph: Sa'adi was at one point imprisoned by the British authorities. When he was released from prison, he moved to Haifa where he met Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam and joined his organisation. On 15 April 1936, a group called "Ikhwan al-Qassam" under al-Sa'di's leadership ambushed a bus on the Nablus-Tulkarm road. Two Jewish passengers were taken off the bus and fatally shot. This incident is seen as the starting point of the 1936–1939 Arab Revolt. For the many operations against the British, he was sentenced to death. He was executed on 27 November 1937, at the age of 75 during the Ramadan fast.

paragraph: Carus

paragraph: Carus (; c. 222 – July or August 283) was Roman Emperor from 282 to 283, and was 60 at ascension. During his short reign, Carus fought the Germanic tribes and Sarmatians along the Danube frontier with success.

paragraph: He died while campaigning against the Sassanid Empire, probably of unnatural causes, as he was reportedly struck by lightning. He was succeeded by his sons Carinus and Numerian, creating a dynasty which, though short-lived, provided further stability to the resurgent empire.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Carus, whose name before the accession may have been Marcus Numerius Carus, was born, according to differing accounts, either in Gaul, Illyricum or Africa. Modern scholarship inclines to the former view, placing his birth at Narbo (modern Narbonne) in Gaul though he was educated in Rome. Little can be said with certainty of his life and rule. Due to the decline of literature, the arts, and the want of any good historians of that age, what is known is almost invariably involved in contradiction and doubt. He was apparently a senator and filled various posts, both civil and military, before being appointed prefect of the Praetorian Guard by the emperor Probus in 282.

paragraph: Two traditions surround his accession to the throne in August or September of 282. According to some mostly Latin sources, he was proclaimed emperor by the soldiers after the murder of Probus by a mutiny at Sirmium. Greek sources however claim that he rose against Probus in Raetia in a usurpation and had him killed. The often unreliable Historia Augusta is aware of both traditions, although it prefers the former. He does not seem to have returned to Rome after his accession, contenting himself with an announcement to the Senate. This was a marked departure from the constitutionalism of his immediate predecessors, Tacitus and Probus, who at least outwardly respected the authority of the senate, and was the precursor to the even more despotic military autocracy of Diocletian.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Campaign against the Sassanids and death.

paragraph: Bestowing the title of Caesar upon his sons Carinus and Numerian, he left Carinus in charge of the western portion of the empire to look after some disturbances in Gaul and took Numerian with him on an expedition against the Persians, which had been contemplated by Probus. Having inflicted a severe defeat on the Quadi and Sarmatians on the Danube, for which he was given the title "Germanicus Maximus", Carus proceeded through Thrace and Asia Minor, annexed Mesopotamia, pressed on to Seleucia and Ctesiphon, and marched his soldiers beyond the Tigris.

paragraph: The Sassanid King Bahram II, limited by internal opposition and his troops occupied with a campaign in modern-day Afghanistan, could not effectively defend his territory. The Sasanians, faced with severe internal problems, could not mount an effective coordinated defense at the time; Carus and his army may have captured the Sasanian capital of Ctesiphon. The victories of Carus avenged all the previous defeats suffered by the Romans against the Sassanids, and he received the title of "Persicus Maximus". Rome's hopes of further conquest, however, were cut short by his death; Carus died in Sasanian territory, probably of unnatural causes, as he was reportedly struck by lightning.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Like the splendid conquests of Trajan, 160 years before, Carus' gains were immediately relinquished by his successor. His son Numerian, naturally of an unwarlike disposition, was forced by the army to retreat back over the Tigris. The report of the lightning strike was evidently widely accepted in the camp, and the superstitious awe of the troops inclined them to ascribe Carus' death to the wrath of the Gods. Rumors had been spread of dark oracles, affixing the limits of the Empire on the Tigris, and threatening destruction against the Roman who should presume beyond the river in arms. Persia was abandoned to her rightful possessors, and not till Diocletian, a decade later, was the Persian contest decided in Rome's favor, by that emperor's decisive victory.

paragraph: In the sphere of civil affairs, Carus is remembered principally for the final suppression of the authority of the senate, which had been partially restored under Tacitus and Probus. He declined to accept their ratification of his election, informing them of the fact by a haughty and distant dispatch. He was the last emperor to have united a civil with a military education, in that age when the two were increasingly detached; Diocletian (Imp. 284-305), who succeeded Carus after the brief reign of the latter's sons, was to confirm and formalize the separation of professions, and the autocratic foundation of the imperial rule.

paragraph: Though Carus was known throughout his life for his austere and virtuous manners, the suspicion of his complicity in Probus' death, along with his haughty conduct towards the senate, tarnished his reputation before his death, and Julian, as Gibbon observes, conspicuously places him among the tyrants of Rome, in his catalogue of "The Caesars".

paragraph: María Francisca de Silva-Mendoza-Sandoval y Gutiérrez de los Ríos (b. 1707 Granada - d. 1770) was a Spanish noblewoman of the House of Mendoza and the last Mendoza to hold title over the Dukedom of the Infantado. She was the 11th Duchess of the Infantado and also held the associated titles of Duchess of Lerma and of Pastrana (IX Duquesa de Lerma y IX Marqués de Távara).

paragraph: Section::::Family origins.

paragraph: As a member of the Mendoza family, Maria was next in line to receive the Dukedom of the Indantado and its associated titles. The dukedom had been in the hands of the Mendoza family since the very first duke, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza y Figueroa. The Mendoza family rose to power when it merged with the House of Lasso de la Vega through the marriage of Leonor Lasso de la Vega, the last direct member of that line, and Admiral Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, the admiral of Castile. María was the last of the direct Mendoza family line to hold the title.

paragraph: Her father was Juan de Dios de Silva y Mendoza y Haro, the X Duke of the Infantado. Her mother was María Teresa de los Ríos.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Privately, Maria ran her house according to the old Habsburg spirit but her tenure in office saw many changes in Spain with the rise of the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century. She was forced to face many counter claims and lawsuits to the hereditary family property of her Dukedom.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Marriage and descendants.

paragraph: On 10 January 1724, María Francisca de Silva Mendoza Gutiérrez de los Ríos married Miguel de Toledo y Pimentel, the IX Marqués de Távara. Toledo y Pimentel would die in 1734, but the couple gave birth to one child:

paragraph: Ishaq b. Isma'il b. Shuab al-Tiflisi (before 833 – 853), also known as Sahak in Georgian sources, was the emir of Tbilisi between 833 and 853. Under his rule, the emirate reached the apex of its power. He forced Georgian princes to pay tribute from Kakheti to Abkhazia. He tried to become independent from the Abbasid caliphate, stopped reversing the tribute, and allied himself with local nobility such as the "mtavari" of Kakheti. In retribution, the caliph Al-Mutawakkil sent an expedition against him led by Bugha al-Kabir (also known in Georgia as "Bugha the Turk"), assisted by the Georgian noble Bagrationi family. In 853, they burnt and sacked Tbilisi, and killed the emir.

paragraph: Cleombrotus II

paragraph: Cleombrotus II () was a Spartan king of the Agiad dynasty. He married into the royal family via the daughter of Leonidas II, Chilonis. Chilonis's mother was a Persian/Seleucid woman, and Cleombrotus II's wife was therefore not fully Spartan. This created friction between Cleombrotus II's father-in-law and then co-regent Agis IV when it came to succession. Cleombrotus II nevertheless succeeded Leonidas II when the latter fled to avoid trial after clashing with co-regent's reforms, and reigned from 242 BC to 241 BC before Leonidas II returned and once more took the throne. He then sent Cleombrotus II and Chilonis into exile. Cleomenes III, Leonidas II's son, eventually succeeded his father at his death.

paragraph: Carles Casagemas

paragraph: Carles Antoni Cosme i Damia Casagemas i Coll (Carlos Casagemas) (September 27, 1880, in Barcelona – February 17, 1901, in Paris, France) was a Catalan painter and poet. He is known for his friendship with Pablo Picasso, who painted several portraits of Casagemas. They traveled around Spain and eventually to Paris, where they lived together in a vacant studio.

paragraph: Casagemas fell in love with Germaine, a model they had portrayed, however Casagemas was unable to consummate the relationship due to impotence. This, along with his descent into depression and mood swings, led to several suicide attempts. Casagemas attempted suicide once more in a Paris cafe, during a farewell dinner party he held for himself. This time he was successful and Casagemas died at a hospital later that evening. This event is widely recognized as inspiring Picasso's blue period.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: Carles Antoni Cosme i Damia Casagemas i Coll (Carlos Casagemas) was born into an upper class, cultured family on September 28, 1880, in his family's home, Carrer Conde del Asalto, Barcelona, Spain. Casagemas's father, Manuel Casagemas i Llabrós (1833-1898), had an extensive library, spoke seven languages, and became a certified interpreter. Manuel worked as general secretary of the "Compania Transatlantica" and also served as Vice-Consul of Sweden and Norway and then as General Vice-Consul of the United States of America in Barcelona. His sister, Lluïsa Casagemas (1873-1942), became a well-known composer. The opening of one of her operas, "Schiava et Regina", had to be postponed due to the bombing of the Gran Teatre del Liceu by anarchists. The family owned multiple properties, including a vacation house in Sitges and in Badalona, where Casagemas and Picasso spent time together.

paragraph: As a teenager, Casagemas and group of friends formed the "grup bohemi-barceloní" (the Barcelona-Bohemian Group) and spent significant time at Els Quartre Gats, a well-known meeting place for Catalan Modernist arts. Casagemas formed strong political views during his teenage years becoming a self-declared anarchist and a Catalanista (Catalan nationalist), even taking part in demonstration and having a run-in with police. During this time, Casagemas also began abusing alcohol and various narcotics.

paragraph: Section::::Friendship with Picasso.

paragraph: Casagemas met Picasso in 1899. The two quickly became close friends, traveled around Spain together, and then shared a studio on the Calle Riera de San Juan in Barcelona at the beginning of 1900. Picasso painted multiple portraits of Casagemas around that time. During the early months of their friendship, Casagemas showed signs of depression, mood swings, and impotence. Notably, Picasso and Casagemas frequented brothels in Barcelona, where Casagemas could not have sex with the prostitutes and would simply wait for Picasso.

paragraph: In February 1900, Picasso had his first solo exhibit at Els Quartre Gats. One of the three oil paintings exhibited in that show, entitled "Last Moments," was selected to be included in Paris's "Exposition Universelle". ("Last moments" no longer exists in its original form, having been painted over by Picasso in 1903 as "La Vie", an allegorical work featuring Casagemas.)

paragraph: Casagemas also put up an exhibit at Els Quartre Gats just after Picasso's, in late March and early April of 1900. The exhibit received mixed reviews.

paragraph: Section::::Paris 1900-1901.

paragraph: In October 1900, Casagemas accompanied Picasso to Paris for the Exposition. Eventually, the two took up residence in a vacated studio owned by Isidre Nonell located in Montmarte. Germaine Gargallo Florentin Pichot (best known as Germaine), Germaine's sister (Antoinette Fornerod), and a close friend, Louise "Oddette" Lenoir became models and constant companions of Picasso and Casagemas. Casagemas quickly fell in love with Germaine, while Odette began sleeping with Picasso. Despite his deep feelings for Germaine, Casagemas, due to his impotence, could not consummate their relationship and quickly fell into a deep depression.

paragraph: Casagemas spoke of suicide often and attempted to kill himself at least once before Picasso suggested that they leave Paris and return to Spain for the holidays. They spent Christmas 1900 in Barcelona and then traveled to Malaga, Picasso's birthplace, on New Year's Day 1901. There Casagemas's behavior towards Picasso's relatives embarrassed Picasso so deeply that Picasso put him on a boat back to Barcelona. After passing through Barcelona, Casagemas returned to Paris on his own to see Germaine. Throughout his absence from Paris, Casagemas has been writing to Germaine multiple times a day.

paragraph: Not much is known about the three weeks Casagemas spent in Paris after his arrival in early 1901, except that he asked Germaine to live with him and she refused. But he soon decided that would again return to Spain.

paragraph: Section::::Suicide.

paragraph: On February 17, 1901, Casagemas arranged a farewell dinner for himself at the Hippodrome Cafe in Paris. He invited Germaine and a few friends, including Manuel Pallares and Manolo Hugue. At approximately 9pm and after many rounds of wine and absinthe, Casagemas asked Germaine one final time if she would marry him. When she refused, he drew a pistol and shot at her. The bullet did not strike her, but she fell to the ground. Casagemas then turned the gun and shot himself in the right temple. He died in a hospital later that evening.

paragraph: One of Picasso's portraits accompanied Casagemas's obituary nine days later. Picasso returned to Paris in May, 1901, resumed residence in the studio that he had shared with Casagemas, visited the site of Casagemas's suicide, and eventually had an affair with Germaine. During the years to follow, Picasso painted various death portraits of Casagemas.

paragraph: Germaine remained part of Picasso's life for many years and was later one of the models depicted in Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon".

paragraph: Section::::Solo exhibit.

paragraph: In 2014, the National Art Museum of Catalonia (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, MNAC) put up the first major exhibit dedicated solely to Casagemas's work.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: Robert Sheehan portrayed Casagemas in the 2018 season of the television series "Genius", which focuses on the life and career of Pablo Picasso.

paragraph: Harry Zvi Tabor

paragraph: Harry Zvi Tabor (March 7, 1917 – December 15, 2015) was an Israeli physicist. He is known as the father of Israeli solar energy. He is generally credited with having brought Israel's solar energy program to international prominence.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Harry Zvi Tabor was born at London in 1917 to Charles and Rebecca Tabor. As a youth, he was involved in the UK branch of Habonim Dror, and participated in an 80th anniversary reunion in 2009. In 1947 he married Vivenne Landau. He received his bachelor's degree in physics from the University of London and Hebrew University. He died in Jerusalem on December 15, 2015 at the age of 98.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific career.

paragraph: In 1949 prime minister David Ben-Gurion sent a letter to England to offer Tabor a job on the 'physics and engineering desk' of the Research Council of Israel, which he accepted. His first task was to create the National Physical Laboratory of Israel, which had been Tabor's idea as he felt it was essential the new country have the equivalent of the National Physical Laboratory in Britain to create standards amongst the different measurements in use in the country, primarily British, Ottoman and metric. Once the laboratory was established, he focused on solar energy for research and development.

paragraph: He was instrumental in developing the solar water heater that 95 percent of Israeli households have. In 1992 he was awarded an honorary degree from the Weizmann Institute of Science. These simple water heaters operated without pumps, whereby cold water was heated in the panel, which acted as a thermosiphon. This unit in turn became the standard for solar water heating worldwide, and helped popularize the commercialization of solar thermal technology in the United States in the 1970s, where Tabor lectured and acted as a consultant to solar start-up companies such as Northrup, Inc. which subsequently merged into ARCO Solar, which became BP Solar. Tabor experimented with various coatings to optimize the absorptivity of solar energy, with minimizing the re-radiation, or emissivity of the heat absorbed. This led to his development of a "black chrome" surface for the copper water-bearing plate.

paragraph: Tabor worked with the Standards Institute of Israel, to establish testing procedures and an official performance certificates so that a solar collector could not be bought without SII certification.

paragraph: Tabor and French immigrant Lucien Bronicki developed a small solar power unit, an Organic Rankine cycle turbine, for developing countries with problematic power grids. It was designed to neutralize the maintenance issues of reciprocating engines so it had only one moving part, the rotor. A 3 kWe prototype was exhibited at the 1961 United Nations Conference on New Sources of Energy in Rome, but it failed to find commercial success.

paragraph: Blake Morgan

paragraph: Blake Morgan is an American musician, singer-songwriter, music producer, and record label owner, and activist based in New York City. After releasing the alternative rock solo album "Anger's Candy" (1997) on Phil Ramone's N2K Sony/Red label, he began producing music independently and founded the label Engine Company Records in 2002, which in 2012 became ECR Music Group. He helps produce all music released by the label, which has included artists such as James McCartney, Janita, Mike Errico, Patti Rothberg, Lesley Gore, David Cloyd and Melissa Giges. His albums "Anger's Candy", "Burning Daylight," "Silencer", and "Diamonds in the Dark" were positively received.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Morgan was born and raised in Manhattan. He is the son of American feminist activist and writer Robin Morgan and poet Kenneth Pitchford. He began playing the piano and going to music school at age five, with the aim of becoming a professional pianist. At age six his interest began to switch from classical composers such as Mozart and Bartók to The Beatles, after his mother introduced him to "Meet The Beatles". In first grade he began attending the United Nations International School in New York City. He stayed there for 12 years, and graduated with an International Baccalaureate. He concurrently continued his piano studies at Greenwich House Music School in Manhattan.

paragraph: Morgan's first gig was at CBGB's in New York, when older students from his school recruited him to play keyboards in their band. Since he was legally too young for the venue, they used his then short stature to smuggle him inside the club in a bass drum case. As the show began, Morgan came out of the case to jump on stage and play the synths.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.

paragraph: After high school Morgan attended Berklee College of Music, where he completed a four-year program in three years and graduated "magna cum laude". After college he began to play in various band formations and began pursuing music full-time, chiefly alternative rock. He has stated he has been influenced by musicians such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Radiohead, Björk, Jeff Buckley, Death Cab, Neil Finn, Peter Gabriel, and The Police. In 1996 he released the EP "Sneakers".

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:"Anger's Candy" (1997).

paragraph: He signed a seven-record deal with Phil Ramone's N2K Sony/Red label in 1996, and released the solo album "Anger's Candy" later in 1997. The ten tracks included Lenny Kravitz performing backup vocals on "Why Don't You See." The track "To Say It's Your Love" was co-written by Nandi Johannes. All other tracks were written by Morgan, and he performed vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, piano, and organ. Both Morgan and Terry Manning produced the album at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas. He toured the United States in support of the album for over a year, sharing stages with musicians such as Joan Jett.

paragraph: In response to the album, "Billboard" wrote "Morgan has a voice that was made to be heard on the radio . . . inspired songwriting and passionate performances." "The New York Times" wrote "Blake Morgan's singing and performances are disarmingly unselfconscious."

paragraph: Morgan has stated he quickly became frustrated with being on a corporate label. After the tour was completed he found a loophole in the contract, and despite being the label's most successful artist at the time, he told Ramone he wanted out of the deal.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Engine Company Records, ECR Music Group.

paragraph: While producing "Anger's Candy," he had started helping other local artists and bands produce projects on the side. These on-going projects, as well as frustration with A&R pitches from labels akin to N2K, led Morgan to consider creating his own independent label. He went to bands and artists he was recording at the time, and pitched a label where they would have control over their own material and output.

paragraph: He launched Engine Company Records in New York City in 2002, and remains CEO and owner. It was re-branded as ECR Music Group in late 2012, expanding into an umbrella company that includes Engine Company Records as well as a roster of other labels and artists. The associated publishing company is called Big Red Firetruck Music. Similar to Rick Rubin's relationship with American Recordings, Morgan produces the music for the label. Genres have ranged from emo/punk, to alternative rock, to Classical. He has recorded in locations such as The Hit Factory in New York and Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas.

paragraph: Among artists and producers that have worked with the label are James McCartney, Lesley Gore, Janita, Mike Errico, Patti Rothberg, Terry Manning, and Azam Ali. In summer of 2005 the label landed five albums in the Top 20 simultaneously, including Lesley Gore's " Ever Since" and Rick Henrickson's "Reaching for a Gun". In June 2008, the label released "20th Century Duos for Violin and Cello with works by Zoltán Kodály, Roger Sessions and Maurice Ravel", which received a glowing review for performance and engineering in "The New York Times".

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:"Burning Daylight" (2005).

paragraph: His next solo album, "Burning Daylight", was released on Engine Company Records on July 12, 2005. Co-produced with Grammy Award-winner Phil Nicolo, it reached #1 on eMusic's album charts, holding the number spot for both album, single ("Danger to Wake You"), and artist at the same time. The bonus track of his cover of Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" became the most successful track in the history of the label, and climbed high on iTunes charts.

paragraph: The album received a positive review and 4/5 stars on Allmusic. "The Washington Post" wrote "He's got killer pop-rock instincts . . . a natural when it comes to fashioning sharp melodies and catchy choruses."

paragraph: In 2006 his song "It's Gone," performed by Lesley Gore, was featured in the final scene and closing credits of the independent film "Flannel Pajamas", by Jeff Lipsky. The film, which was lauded by Roger Ebert, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. On March 18, 2009, the track "Better Angels" from the album was featured in MTV's "". The Lesley Gore version of "Better Angels" was also featured in the 2005 season premiere of "".

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:"Silencer" (2006).

paragraph: On October 25, 2006, he released the album "Silencer"' It features Morgan on vocals and piano performing acoustic versions of both new and older material, dating back to 1996. A cover of "No Surprises" by Radiohead was also released as a digital bonus track. The album again received a positive review on AllMusic, which gave it a 3/5 stars and said "These are darkly heartfelt, enigmatic and melodic songs that often bring to mind a mix of the yearning, expansive rock of the Smashing Pumpkins and the soulful AM pop of Todd Rundgren. Meditative and sanguine, these are afterglow torch songs for the alt rock set." "Blender" wrote "Great songs and great singing is apparently all you need if you have the goods, and there are plenty of goods to be had here . . . with imaginative arrangements that underscore his raw, iconic singing."

paragraph: As of 2009, he continues to produce and work on original material for upcoming albums. He is sponsored by Gibson Guitars.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:"Diamonds In The Dark" (2013).

paragraph: Silencer fueled the anticipation for Blake Morgan's most recent album, Diamonds In The Dark, which was released on July 30, 2013 on ECR Music Group. The album garnered numerous rave reviews, and was described in the press as “…one of the finest albums of 2013. A must have." and "a killer piece of art ." Morgan wrote the entire album, performing all the vocals, and the majority of the instruments, in addition to producing, recording, mixing and mastering it. In a Halfstack magazine interview he calls the title of the album symbolic, and explains that the songs are the diamonds that he had picked out of a difficult, dark period in his life. A unique aspect of the album is that the tracks are ordered almost identically to the order in which they were written. Diamonds in the Dark is a turning point for Morgan artistically,and the release of the album coincided with the beginning of Morgan's political activism on behalf of artists.

paragraph: Section::::Activism.

paragraph: Morgan's political activism on behalf of artists began in May 2013, when a pointed email exchange between him and the founder of Pandora, Tim Westergren, regarding lowered royalties, was published in the Huffington Post. The article was met with much enthusiasm in the artist community, and Pandora lost $130 million in the stock market the following morning. This David vs. Goliath struggle for artists' rights ended in a whistle-blowing victory over the Internet radio giant, and led to the multibillion-dollar company abandoning its own signature legislation (IRFA = Internet Radio Fairness Act) in Washington. The legislation would have reduced artists' pay by up to 85%.

paragraph: In mid-December 2013, following the defeat of IRFA, Mr. Morgan went on to write an Op-ed for the Huffington Post titled 'Art and Music Are Professions Worth Fighting For', which further galvanized the musician community. The idea for the next step in his artist advocacy–the campaign "I Respect Music"–was born in this very piece, which went viral and became Huffington Post’s most-read music article of 2013. It closed with a simple message: “My New Year’s resolution is to stand up more, and speak more. I respect my profession. I respect artists. I respect music.” A tweet from a young artist from the Philippines, named Joana Marie Lor, in response to Morgan's article, was the first to use the hashtag #IRespectMusic. This, in Morgan's words, was the “tweet that started it all.” He has also said: "Once the article went viral. . . it was clear that idea–and those three words–had resonated far more deeply than anyone could have expected."

paragraph: Section::::Activism.:#IRespectMusic - The campaign.

paragraph: Inspired by the over 40,000 "likes" that Blake Morgan received in December 2013 on his Huffington Post article, "Art and Music Are Professions Worth Fighting For," Morgan decided the time was right to launch a petition to Congress, I Respect Music, supporting a musician's right to receive pay for radio airplay. To boot off the campaign, Morgan wrote the words "#I Respect Music" on an index card and showed it to the world in a self-made video, which was posted on the I Respect Music-website in anticipation of the action. The petition was launched a week later on January 28 of 2014, and it went viral at an unprecedented pace. Everyday working musicians, music fans, music organizations, and luminaries like Patrick Stewart, Gavin DeGraw, Gloria Steinem, Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Jane Fonda, Jean Michele Jarre, Marisa Tomei, Roseanne Cash, Mike Mills, John McCrea, Civil Twilight, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and countless others voiced their support by both signing the petition, and posting or tweeting a "selfie" with the hashtag: #IRespectMusic. Within thirty days the petition had received nearly 10,000 signatures.

paragraph: The petition is based on the fact that the United States is the only democratic country in the world where artists don’t get paid for radio airplay, and that the short list of countries that share the United States’ position on this issue includes Iran, North Korea, China, Vietnam, and Rwanda. As a result of not paying their artists for radio airplay in the United States, other democratic countries aren’t paying American artists in their countries. The petition seeks legislation that would get artists paid for the work that they do, in sync with the rest of the democratic world.

paragraph: Section::::Activism.:Fair Play Fair Pay Act of 2015.

paragraph: Morgan spent much of his time in 2014 and early 2015 in the offices of members of Congress, convincing them of the need for reform to protect musicians' rights. He came to see the fruit of his labors in April 2015 when Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) introduced bipartisan legislation, titled the "Fair Play Fair Pay Act of 2015". This music bill would have ensured that all artists are fairly paid on digital and AM/FM radio.

paragraph: In an interview for BroadwayWorld.com Morgan had this to say about the proposed legislation: "This Act would fundamentally change the lives of millions of hard working American music makers. It would reverse our country's century-old position on not paying artists when their work is played on the radio. It would restore digital royalty payments to music makers whose iconic work was released prior to 1972 (protecting many legacy artists who are now in their seventies and eighties), work that is constantly monetized by billion dollar corporations without any recompense to the artists who created that work. It would get music producers paid too. It guarantees a tech-neutral approach. It guarantees songwriters won't be penalized in the fight to get the artists who perform those songs paid as well. There's even more good in the bill than all that, but suffice it to say, it is a historic and long overdue move to reform the musical landscape for millions of Americans, and I couldn't support it more strongly."

paragraph: Section::::Activism.:NMPA Partners With The I Respect Music Campaign.

paragraph: On June 18, 2015 Billboard Magazine reported on The National Music Publishers Assn. new partnership with the I Respect Music campaign established to support passage of the Songwriters Equity Act, that was re-introduced to Congress earlier in 2015. The partnership was announced by NMPA CEO David Israelite, followed by a speech by Blake Morgan at the organization's annual meeting, held on June 17 of 2015 at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. Says David Israelite: "To date, [I Respect Music] has mainly focused on artist and labels," but songwriters could benefit from being aligned with the movement.

paragraph: Throughout 2014 and 2015 Morgan has spoken about the I Respect Music-campaign, the Fair Play Fair Pay Act, and other artists' rights issues on major media, from CNN and Fox News, to NPR and The New York Times. He was also a featured speaker at the Global Music Forum 2015 as part of Canadian Music Week, in Toronto, and numerous universities within the US.

paragraph: Michael Szécsényi (; 1317–1377), was a Hungarian prelate in the 14th century, who served as Bishop of Vác from 1342 to 1362, then Bishop of Eger from 1362 (or 1363) until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Szécsényi came from the powerful and prestigious Szécsényi noble family. He was born in 1317, as the second son of Thomas Szécsényi, Voivode of Transylvania and his first wife, an unidentified daughter of landowner Paul Visontai. One of his brothers was Kónya Szécsényi, Ban of Croatia. Michael was blind in his left eye due to a childhood-related cataract throughout his life, according to a contemporary document.

paragraph: As a younger son of his family, Szécsényi entered ecclesiastical career, which rapidly progressed due to his father's influence, who also became a relative to the Angevin dynasty after his second marriage to Anne, Duchess of Auschwitz. At the age of 15, Michael was made Canon of Esztergom by Pope John XXII in 1332. In the following year, he was elected Provost of Pressburg (today Bratislava, Slovakia), when he still was in "puberty age", as a document recorded. Consequently, a certain Thomas the Red served as "administrator" of the provostry beside him. Szécsényi remained in his position until 1342. He frequently resided in his manor at Visegrád, near the royal court.

paragraph: Szécsényi was elected Bishop of Vác on 11 October 1341, replacing Dominican friar Rudolph, who died in office. His election was confirmed by the newly elected Pope Clement VI on 8 July 1342. He held the bishopric for more than twenty years. At the end of 1362 or early 1363, he was transferred to the Diocese of Eger. He first appeared as Bishop of Eger on 19 February 1363. His election was confirmed by Pope Urban V on 28 November 1363.

paragraph: In April 1363, Szécsényi acquired the village of Demjén and its mill from the Eger Chapter, in exchange for the tithe of Göncruszka. In the following years, he had several conflicts with the chapter. For instance, he unlawfully occupied the half of ecclesiastical estates in the eastern side of the Eger valley, for which the chapter protested against him on 3 March 1365. In the next year, King Louis I made it possible for the realm's nobles to designate the Diocese of Eger as heirs in their last wills. In 1367, Szécsényi handed over the Makovica Castle (today Zborov in Slovakia) to baron Peter Cudar for 200 gold ducats per year. In December 1371, Szécsényi held a three-day synod in his diocese, dedicated to its patron saint John the Apostle. Under his bishopric, the construction of the cathedral continued, as a letter from Pope Gregory XI proved it in 1372. In the same year, he acquired the village of Bátor, Heves County from the Báthory family on the occasion of a lawsuit. In 1375, Nicholas, Bishop of Milkovia styled himself as a subordinate to the Diocese of Eger. Szécsényi was last mentioned as a living person on 13 March 1377. He died before 2 October 1377.

paragraph: Ibn Abi Sadiq

paragraph: Ibn Abi Sadiq al-Naishaburi, Abu al-Qasim ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Ali (Arabic and Persian: أبوالقاسم عبد الرحمن بن علي بن أبي صادق النيشابوري ) was an 11th-century Persian physician from Nishapur in Khorasan.

paragraph: He was a pupil of Avicenna. As he composed a popular commentary on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates, he was known in some circles as ""the second Hippocrates"" ("Buqrat al-thani"). Ismail Gorgani, the author of Zakhireye Khwarazmshahi, completed his studies under his guidance.

paragraph: His commentary on the Hunayn ibn Ishaq's Questions on Medicine, however, may have been even more popular, judging from the large number of copies preserved today. Ibn Abi Sadiq also wrote a commentary on the Prognostics of Hippocrates, on Galen's treatise "On the Usefulness of the Parts", and on Razi's treatise Doubts about Galen ("Shukuk ‘alá Jalinus"). According to the medieval biographical sources, he completed the commentary on Galen's "On the Usefulness of the Parts" in the year 1068 AD, which provides us with the one firm date in his biography.

paragraph: Henry Goodridge (politician)

paragraph: Henry Goodridge (October 26, 1849 – February 25, 1914) was a politician and municipal councillor in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Goodridge first came to Edmonton in 1874 with a troop of soldiers, visiting a settlement that had only recently started to expand beyond the confines of Fort Edmonton, near the present site of the Alberta Legislature Building.

paragraph: Goodridge returned in 1876, becoming the first white settler in the area that is now the neighbourhoods of Jasper Place, roughly west of Fort Edmonton. When his fiancé, D. S. McKay, arrived some time later, they married and homesteaded a farm roughly west of Fort Edmonton, near what is now Stony Plain. He later worked for a time in the implement trade. He and his wife would have six sons together.

paragraph: In 1892, Edmonton was incorporated as a town. Sometime before 1899, Goodridge had moved into Edmonton, as he was appointed as an alderman to Edmonton Town Council that year to replace Kenneth W. MacKenzie, who had resigned to run for mayor. Goodridge was re-elected in the 1900 election, in which he placed third of eight candidates, but resigned in 1901. In the 1901 election, he was elected to complete the term to which he had originally been elected. He did not seek re-election at the conclusion of that term in 1902.

paragraph: In 1908, Goodridge moved to Entwistle, Alberta to operate a lumber business. He retired in 1913, and died of a stroke February 25, 1914.

paragraph: Konoe Motohiro

paragraph: , Tajimaru (多治丸) in his childhood, was a "kugyō" or Japanese court noble of the Edo period (1603–1868). He held a regent position kampaku from 1690 to 1703.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: He was a son of regent Konoe Hisatsugu and a concubine. Motohiro was not considered a legitimate member at first, but his father Hisatsugu and his wife, Princess Shoshi, a daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo, had no child and Hisatsu died in Motohiro's childhood. Thus by an imperial order from Go-Mizunoo, Motohiro was installed in the Konoe lineage, and grew up under imperial protection.

paragraph: In 1654 he performed his genpuku ceremony and entered adulthood and therefore courtier life. In 1664 he married Princess Joshi, another daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo and his consort. With her he had a son, Iehiro, and a daughter, Teruko, who was a consort of Tokugawa Ienobu, the 6th "shōgun" of the Tokugawa shogunate.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: After his entrance to the court, he served three emperors: Emperor Go-Mizunoo, Emperor Reigen and Emperor Higashiyama. Go-Mizunoo was his protector since his childhood, so his early career was prospective along with his noble lineage. But Emperor Reigen did not get along with the Tokugawa shogunate, and considered Motohiro sympathetic to the Shogunate, hence his career in Reigen's court was not as splendid. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the shogun at that time, was not warm to Ienobu at all, one of the candidates for his successor, hence also Motohiro, as the father-in-law of Ienobu.

paragraph: In Higashiyama's court, Motohiro however gained power again. He served as kampaku, the most powerful courtier from 1690 to 1703. After he quit, he had his supporters, including his own son, succeed the kampaku position respectively, and kept his influence. In 1704 the Tokugawa shogunate designated Ienobu, Motohiro's son-in-law, the successor of Tsunayoshi, hence the future shogun. His relation to the shogunate was therefore strengthened. Motohiro visited Edo twice, and was even welcomed to give political opinions, however it made the terms between ex-Emperor Reigen and him worse. Emperor Reigen even cursed him at Shimogamo Shrine, and accused him of being a "bad subject who privatizes and bends laws and justice" (私曲邪佞の悪臣) in his cursing prayer. However Motohiro was not always a supporter of Shogunate politics, and publicly objected to the Shogunate over some of their pressure on the imperial court.

paragraph: In 1722 he became a monk and was named Yuzan (悠山). He died in this year and was buried at Daitoku-ji.

paragraph: He wrote a diary from 1655 until his death, later titled "Diary of Lord Motohiro" (基熈公記).
