paragraph: Michael Garnett

paragraph: Michael Garnett (born November 25, 1982 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who is currently playing for Nottingham Panthers of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL). Garnett has previously played for the National Hockey League's Atlanta Thrashers, who drafted him in the 3rd round (80th overall) of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Garnett spent his junior career with the Red Deer Rebels and his hometown Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League (WHL). He was named to the WHL All-Rookie Team for the 2000–01 season and was drafted by the Thrashers in the summer of 2001.

paragraph: Garnett made his professional debut in the 2002–03 season playing for the Greenville Grrrowl of the East Coast Hockey League. Over two seasons with the Grrrowl and the Gwinnett Gladiators he posted a 37-25 record before securing a full-time job with the Thrashers top minor league affiliate, the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League (AHL). In total, Garnett appeared in 116 games for the Wolves, posting a 56-40-5 record.

paragraph: Garnett was called up to the Thrashers early in the 2005–06 season due to a groin injury sustained by Thrashers starting goaltender Kari Lehtonen. Garnett made his NHL debut on October 12, 2005, when he replaced Mike Dunham, who suffered a groin injury less than ten minutes into a game against the Montreal Canadiens. The Thrashers lost the game 2-0, though Garnett stopped 29 of the 30 shots he faced and was named the game's second star. That season Garnett appeared in 24 games for Atlanta, including a franchise record 17 straight games from November 24 to December 28, 2005. When he was reassigned to Chicago in early January, he was in the midst of a ten game regulation undefeated streak (7-0-3), which included back-to-back shutouts on December 23 and 26 against the New Jersey Devils and Montreal Canadiens, respectively, through which he made 65 saves. Overall, Garnett posted a 10-7-4 record with the Thrashers.

paragraph: Garnett's contract with the Thrashers expired after the 2006–07 season, which he spent entirely with the Chicago Wolves, splitting time with veteran Fred Brathwaite and posting a 23-15-1 record.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:KHL.

paragraph: As an unrestricted free agent Garnett opted to sign a one-year contract with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk of the Russian Super League. He had a successful Russian debut, with Nizhnekamsk losing a 5 game series to the defending champions, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, in the first round of the playoffs. That summer, Garnett described his experience and how the language barrier was helping his hockey career: "Well, it literally was a blur for me because I couldn't understand anything. I could really focus and get deep into hockey more than I think I have before."

paragraph: Garnett, again a free agent, signed a two-year contract with MVD Balashikha of the newly formed Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). After struggling through the 2008–09 season, posting a 15-17-1 record, Garnett bounced back for a successful 2009–10 campaign. He posted a 24-15-4 record, a 2.06 goals against average, .917 save percentage, and 5 shutouts. He played in the 2010 KHL All-Star game in Minsk and MVD won the Tarasov division title and Western Conference championship. In the Gagarin Cup Finals, MVD lost a close 7 game series to the defending champions, AK Bars Kazan. Garnett was named to the KHL's First All-Star team.

paragraph: Following the 2009–10, MVD Balashikha merged with Dynamo Moscow to form UHC Dynamo. Garnett signed a one-year contract with the club prior to the start of the 2010–11 season. Despite missing some time to injury, Garnett had a successful season with Dynamo as the team finished 1st in their division with Garnett posting a 17-13-2 record and a .916 save percentage. UHC was upset in the first round of the playoffs in a six game series against Dinamo Riga, marking a disappointing end to what had been a strong season.

paragraph: On May 2, 2011, Garnett signed a two-year contract with Traktor Chelyabinsk. His 2011-2012 season started in spectacular fashion, as he was chosen as goaltender of the month in the KHL for both October and November. He also played for Team Fedorov in the 2012 KHL All-Star game in Riga on Jan. 21, 2012. Michael won the Continental Cup with his team and became a fan favorite. He repeated as KHL Allstar in the 2012-13 season. His four-year stint at Chelyabinsk became to a close at the end of the 2014-15 season.

paragraph: He then spent the 2015-16 campaign with HC Slovan Bratislava. On October 27, 2016, he was signed by another KHL club, Medvescak Zagreb of Croatia.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:NLA.

paragraph: On February 13, 2017, Garnett was signed by SC Bern of the National League A (NLA) for the remainder of the season as a backup to add depth for the playoffs.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:EIHL.

paragraph: Garnett moved to the UK in May 2017, signing for EIHL side Nottingham Panthers ahead of the 2017-18 season.

paragraph: Ahmet Altan

paragraph: Ahmet Hüsrev Altan (born 1950) is a Turkish journalist and author. A working journalist for more than twenty years, he has served in all stages of the profession, from being a night shift reporter to editor in chief in various newspapers.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born 1950 in Ankara, Turkey to the notable journalist and writer Çetin Altan as the first of two sons. His brother Mehmet Altan is also a journalist, writer and university professor of economy politics.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In addition to having written columns in several Turkish newspapers, including "Hürriyet", "Milliyet" and "Radikal", Altan has produced news programming for television.

paragraph: He was fired from "Milliyet" after writing a column on 17 April 1995 titled "Atakürt", which presented an alternate history of Turkey as a Kurdish state ("Kürdiye") in which ethnic Turks are oppressed and forced to assimilate.

paragraph: In 2007 he became the founding editor-in-chief and lead columnist of "Taraf", a daily Turkish newspaper, and remained in the position until his resignation in December 2012.

paragraph: In September 2008 when Altan published an article titled "Oh, My Brother" dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, he was charged under Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code for "denigrating Turkishness". The judicial claim was initiated by the far-right "Great Union Party."

paragraph: Altan, along with some of his "Taraf" associates, usually carried a firearm for self-protection.

paragraph: As the editor of "Taraf", Altan worked to silence the allegations of the Gülen movement cheating in compulsory public servants’ examinations in Turkey to further their power in the state.

paragraph: On December 14, 2012, Ahmet Altan resigned his post as editor-in-chief of "Taraf". With him stepped down his assistant editor Yasemin Çongar, and Neşe Tüzel. The next day, the three departing journalist were joined by columnist Hadi Uluengin.

paragraph: Section::::Prosecution.

paragraph: During Turkey's media purge after the failed July 2016 coup d'état on September 23, 2016, Altan, was arrested. He is accused of sending "subliminal messages" to encourage 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt planners.

paragraph: In September 2017, while banned from written communications, Altan produced an essay The Writer's Paradox in which he says: 'I am writing these words from a prison cell ... But wait. Before you start playing the drums of mercy for me listen to what I will tell you ... They may have the power to imprison me but no one has the power to keep me in prison. I am a writer.' The essay was published on 18 September 2017, on the eve of Altan's trial: in English by The Society of Authors (translated by Yasemin Çongar) and in the original Turkish by English PEN.

paragraph: As the trial began, many authors spoke out in support of Altan. Neil Gaiman said "I hope that everyone who can read, whatever their politics, reads Ahmet Altan's response to his imprisonment. Repressive regimes hope that if they lock up writers they are also locking up ideas. This will always fail." and Joanne Harris said "Writers exist to question, to challenge, sometimes even to ridicule - the status quo. For a government to imprison a writer for doing this is to attack, not only freedom of speech, but freedom of the imagination. It is a backward, oppressive and ultimately futile gesture that can only lead to greater and more damaging social unrest."

paragraph: On 16 February 2018, Ahmet, along with his brother Mehmet, was sentenced to life imprisonment. From prison, he wrote notes he gave to his lawyers, and published his memoirs under the title "I Will Never See the World Again" (Other Press, 2019), translated in English by Yasemin Çongar.

paragraph: A noble of Eraclea, then the primary city of the region, he was elected in 697 as an official over the entire lagoon that surrounded Venice. His job was to both put an end to the conflicts between the various tribunes who until then had governed the differing parts and to coordinate the defense against the Lombards and the Slavs who were encroaching on their settlements. However, Anafesto's existence is uncorroborated by any source before the 11th century.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: According to John Julius Norwich, Paolo Lucio Anafesto was actually Exarch Paul. Moreover, Paul's "magister militum" had the same first name as Paoluccio's reputed successor, Marcellus Tegallianus, casting doubt on the authenticity of that doge as well.

paragraph: Utagawa Kuniyoshi

paragraph: Utagawa Kuniyoshi (; ; January 1, 1798 – April 14, 1861) was one of the last great masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting. He was a member of the Utagawa school.

paragraph: The range of Kuniyoshi's subjects included many genres: landscapes, beautiful women, Kabuki actors, cats, and mythical animals. He is known for depictions of the battles of legendary samurai heroes. His artwork incorporated aspects of Western representation in landscape painting and caricature.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Kuniyoshi was born on January 1, 1798, the son of a silk-dyer, Yanagiya Kichiyemon, originally named Yoshisaburō. Apparently he assisted his father's business as a pattern designer, and some have suggested that this experience influenced his rich use of color and textile patterns in prints. It is said that Kuniyoshi was impressed, at an early age of seven or eight, by ukiyo-e warrior prints, and by pictures of artisans and commoners (as depicted in craftsmen manuals), and it is possible these influenced his own later prints.

paragraph: Yoshisaburō proved his drawing talents at age 12, quickly attracting the attention of the famous ukiyo-e print master Utagawa Toyokuni. He was officially admitted to Toyokuni's studio in 1811, and became one of his chief pupils. He remained an apprentice until 1814, at which time he was given the name "Kuniyoshi" and set out as an independent artist. During this year he produced his first published work, the illustrations for the "kusazōshi" "gōkan" "Gobuji Chūshingura", a parody of the original Chūshingura story. Between 1815 and 1817 he created a number of book illustrations for "yomihon", "kokkeibon", "gōkan" and "hanashibon", and printed his stand-alone full color prints of "kabuki" actors and warriors.

paragraph: Despite his promising debut, the young Kuniyoshi failed to produce many works between 1818 and 1827, probably due to a lack of commissions from publishers, and the competition of other artists within the Utagawa school (Utagawa-"ryū"). However, during this time he did produce pictures of beautiful women ('bijin-ga') and experimented with large textile patterns and light-and-shadow effects found in Western art, although his attempts showed more imitation than real understanding of these principles.

paragraph: His economic situation turned desperate at one point when he was forced to sell used tatami mats. A chance encounter with his prosperous fellow pupil Kunisada, to whom he felt (with some justice) that he was superior in artistic talent, led him to redouble his efforts (but did not create any lingering ill-feeling between the two, who later collaborated on a number of series).

paragraph: During the 1820s, Kuniyoshi produced a number of heroic triptychs that show the first signs of an individual style. In 1827 he received his first major commission for the series, "One hundred and eight heroes of the popular Suikoden all told" ("Tsūzoku Suikoden gōketsu hyakuhachinin no hitori"), based on the incredibly popular Chinese tale, the "Shuihu Zhuan". In this series Kuniyoshi illustrated individual heroes on single-sheets, drawing tattoos on his heroes, a novelty which soon influenced Edo fashion. The Suikoden series became extremely popular in Edo, and the demand for Kuniyoshi’s warrior prints increased, gaining him entrance into the major ukiyo-e and literary circles.

paragraph: He continued to produce warrior prints, drawing much of his subjects from war tales such as "Tale of the Heike" ("Heike monogatari") and "The rise and fall of the Minamoto and the Taira" ("Genpei Seisuiki"). His warrior prints were unique in that they depicted legendary popular figures with an added stress on dreams, ghostly apparitions, omens, and superhuman feats. This subject matter is instilled in his works "The ghost of Taira no Tomomori at Daimotsu bay" ("Taira Tomomori borei no zu") and the 1839 triptych "The Gōjō bridge" ("Gōjō no bashi no zu"), where he manages to invoke an effective sense of action intensity in his depiction of the combat between Yoshitsune and Benkei. These new thematic styles satisfied the public’s interest in the ghastly, exciting, and bizarre that was growing during the time.

paragraph: The Tenpō Reforms of 1841–1843 aimed to alleviate economic crisis by controlling public displays of luxury and wealth, and the illustration of courtesans and actors in "ukiyō-e" was officially banned at that time. This may have had some influence on Kuniyoshi's production of caricature prints or comic pictures ("giga"), which were used to disguise actual actors and courtesans. Many of these symbolically and humorously criticized the shogunate (such as the 1843 design showing Minamoto no Yorimitsu asleep, haunted by the Earth Spider and his demons) and became popular among the politically dissatisfied public. Timothy Clark, curator of Japanese art at the British Museum, asserts that the repressive conventions of the day produced unintended consequences. The government-created limitations became a kind of artistic challenge which actually encouraged Kuniyoshi’s creative resourcefulness by forcing him to find ways to veil criticism of the shogunate allegorically.

paragraph: During the decade leading up to the reforms, Kuniyoshi also produced landscape prints ("fūkeiga"), which were outside the bounds of censorship and catered to the rising popularity of personal travel in late Edo Japan. Notable among these were "Famous products of the provinces" ("Sankai meisan zukushi", c. 1828–30)—where he incorporated Western shading and perspective and pigments—and "Famous views of the Eastern capital" in the early 1830s, which was certainly influenced by Hokusai's early-1830s "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" ("Fugaku sanjūrokkei"). Kuniyoshi also produced during this time works of purely natural subject matter, notably of animals, birds and fish that mimicked traditional Japanese and Chinese painting.

paragraph: In the late 1840s, Kuniyoshi began again to illustrate actor prints, this time evading censorship (or simply evoking creativity) through childish, cartoon-like portraits of famous kabuki actors, the most notable being "Scribbling on the storehouse wall" ("Nitakaragurakabe no mudagaki"). Here he creatively used elementary, childlike script sloppily written in kana under the actor faces. Reflecting his love for felines, Kuniyoshi also began to use cats in the place of humans in kabuki and satirical prints. He is also known during this time to have experimented with wide composition, magnifying visual elements in the image for a dramatic, exaggerated effect (ex. "Masakado's daughter the princess Takiyasha, at the old Soma palace").

paragraph: In 1856 Kuniyoshi suffered from palsy, which caused him much difficulty in moving his limbs. It is said that his works from this point onward were noticeably weaker in the use of line and overall vitality. Before his death in 1861, Kuniyoshi was able to witness the opening of the port city of Yokohama to foreigners, and in 1860 produced two works depicting Westerners in the city (Yokohama-e, ex. "View of Honchō" and "The pleasure quarters, Yokohama"). He died at the age of 63 in April 1861 in his home in Genyadana.

paragraph: Section::::Pupils.

paragraph: Kuniyoshi was an excellent teacher and had numerous pupils who continued his branch of the Utagawa school. Among the most notable were Yoshitoshi, Yoshitora, Yoshiiku, Yoshikazu, Yoshitsuya, and Yoshifuji. Typically his students began an apprenticeship in which they worked primarily on musha-e in a style similar to that of their master. As they became established as independent artists, many went on to develop highly innovative styles of their own. His most important student was Yoshitoshi, who is now regarded as the "last master" of the Japanese woodblock print.

paragraph: Among those influenced by Kuniyoshi was Toyohara Chikanobu. Takashi Murakami credits the pioneering influence of Kuniyoshi affecting his work.

paragraph: Martín Pérez (baseball)

paragraph: Martín Pérez Jiménez (born April 4, 1991), is a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher for the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Texas Rangers.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Texas Rangers.

paragraph: The Texas Rangers signed Perez in 2007 for $580,000 as an undrafted free agent. While only making 15 short starts in 62 innings at Rookie-level Spokane, Perez went 1–2 with a 3.65 earned run average (ERA). "Baseball America" ranked Perez as the #17 baseball prospect in their top 100 for 2010.

paragraph: On June 26, 2012, Perez was called up by the Rangers. The next day he made his first major league appearance against the Detroit Tigers. He gave up 2 hits and 4 runs while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning. On June 30, Perez made his first major league start, pitching 5 and a third innings and striking out five while only giving up two runs in a 7-2 win over the Oakland A's. On August 2, Perez was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for pitcher Ryan Dempster.

paragraph: Pérez went into 2013 spring training competing for the fifth spot in the Rangers rotation (which eventually went to Nick Tepesch), but on March 3 in a start against the Mariners, he broke his pitching forearm when it was hit by a line drive by Brad Miller. After making 4 rehab starts (2 with Frisco, 2 with Round Rock), Pérez was recalled to make a start on May 27 in a double-header against the Diamondbacks. In his season debut, he went 5.1 innings, giving up 4 runs (3 earned) on 9 hits with 2 strikeouts. After the game, he was optioned to Round Rock. After 4 starts at Round Rock, he was recalled on June 22 to replace Josh Lindblom in the rotation. Pérez threw his first complete game on August 11 against the Astros. In 20 starts with the Rangers, Pérez went 10-6 with a 3.62 ERA, striking out 84 in 124.1 innings.

paragraph: On November 7, 2013, Pérez signed a four-year, $12.5 million contract with the Rangers that holds three club options, keeping him under team control through 2020. He received a $1 million signing bonus, and was to earn $750,000 in 2014, $1 million in 2015, $2.9 million in 2016, and $4.4 million in 2017. The 2018 option was worth $6 million and had a $2.45 million buyout. The 2019 option was worth $7.5 million and had a $750,000 buyout. The 2020 option is worth $9 million and has a $750,000 buyout.

paragraph: On April 23, 2014, Pérez threw nine shutout innings against the Oakland A's to secure his second consecutive (and career) complete game shutout.

paragraph: After several ineffective starts following the shutouts, Pérez was placed on the disabled list due to inflammation in his pitching elbow. On May 19, 2014, Pérez underwent Tommy John surgery to repair a partially torn UCL in the aforementioned elbow, which kept him out of action for the remainder of 2014.

paragraph: Pérez began the 2015 season on the 60-day disabled list to continue recovery from Tommy John surgery.

paragraph: Perez hit his first major league hit on July 15, 2016, against Chicago Cubs' pitcher Kyle Hendricks. He hit a single to Kris Bryant. He had been hitless his first nine at bats. In 2016 he was 10-11 and had the fewest strikeouts per 9 innings in the major leagues (4.67). He had more batters reach base against him on errors, 16, than any other pitcher in the major leagues.

paragraph: In 2017 he was 13-12 with a 4.32 ERA, and had the highest WHIP among major league pitchers (1.48). He also had the highest line drive percentage allowed (24.8%) of all major league pitchers.

paragraph: On April 30, 2018, Perez was placed on the disabled list with discomfort in his right elbow. He was activated on July 14, replacing Alex Claudio, who was placed on the DL. In 2018 he was 2-7 with a 6.22 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Minnesota Twins.

paragraph: On January 30, 2019, Perez signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Twins. He is expected to compete for the 5th spot in the starting rotation.

paragraph: Section::::Pitching style.

paragraph: Perez features a four-seam fastball that is regularly clocked at 93 mph, a sharp breaking curveball, and a change-up. His velocity is not that of a power pitcher, but his pitches have good movement. The speed of his fastball has increased since he was signed. Being as small as he is at 6'0" and 165 lbs, Perez may always be more of a finesse pitcher than a power pitcher even if he is able to consistently throw a mid-90's fastball. He is compared to be a cross between Johan Santana and Greg Maddux by Jason Parks of Baseball Time in Arlington.

paragraph: William John Bates van de Weyer

paragraph: William John Bates van de Weyer (1870–1946) was a major in the British Army who won more lasting fame in horticulture as the first to hybridize a South American species of "Buddleja" with an Asiatic species while on leave during World War I.

paragraph: Working in the nursery of his home, Smedmore House, Corfe Castle, he crossed "B. globosa" with "B. davidii", naming the new hybrid "Buddleja weyeriana". The initial F1 progeny were aesthetically poor, but Weyer persevered, back-crossing them to produce more strongly coloured F2 plants from which he made two selections he named 'Moonlight' and 'Golden Glow', which remain in commerce to this day. Over half a century later, 'Sungold' was raised from a sport of 'Golden Glow' in the Netherlands, and was used in hybridization experiments in the USA, leading to the release of small, sterile Buddlejas such as 'Blue Chip'.

paragraph: Weyer also hybridized "B. globosa" with "B. madagascariensis" circa 1920 and, several years later, "B. globosa" with "B. brasiliensis", though neither appears to have had much horticultural merit and no cultivars are known.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Van de Weyer was the son of Lt. Col. Victor and Lady Emily van de Weyer, of New Lodge, Berkshire, and a grandson of Sylvain Van de Weyer. Educated at Eton and Sandhurst, he was appointed aide de camp to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland before gaining the rank of Major in the service of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment. Van de Weyer held the office of High Sheriff of Dorset in 1942.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Van de Weyer married the Hon. Olive Elizabeth Wingfield (1885–1978), eldest daughter of Mervyn Wingfield, 7th Viscount Powerscourt, on 17 December 1908. She bore him five children, three daughters, Myrtle (1910-1997), Daphne (1911-2000) and Jasmine (1914-?), and two sons, Sylvain (1917-?) and Adrian (1919-1940), the latter killed in action in the Pas de Calais in 1940 aged 20. Major Van de Weyer died 1 April 1946, aged 75.

paragraph: Section::::Honours.

paragraph: Van de Weyer was invested as a Member, Royal Victorian Order (M.V.O.) in 1900. His hybrid buddleja cultivar 'Golden Glow' was accorded the Award of Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1923.

He won the Tour de Corse with a Renault 8 Gordini in 1964 and the Alpine Rally with an Alpine-Renault A110 in 1968 and 1969. In the last-ever Alpine Rally in 1971, he finished second to Bernard Darniche and recorded his third consecutive penalty-free run, becoming the third driver after Ian Appleyard and Stirling Moss to achieve the much-coveted "Coupe d'Or" (Gold Cup).

paragraph: Driving the Alpine A110, Vinatier also won the French Rally Championship in 1969 and finished third that same year at the Monte Carlo Rally, behind the Porsche 911s of Björn Waldegård and Gérard Larrousse. In 1970, he took part in four events in the International Championship for Manufacturers, the predecessor to the World Rally Championship. He finished second in the Acropolis Rally in Greece, behind another A110 driven by Jean-Luc Thérier, and third in the Rallye Sanremo in Italy, behind Thérier and Harry Källström.

paragraph: Vinatier also competed in endurance racing. In the final Mille Miglia in 1957, he was the first driver to go past the scene of the crash that killed eleven people. In the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Vinatier competed 14 times from 1958 to 1973. He won his class with Mauro Bianchi, brother of Lucien Bianchi, in 1967. His best overall result in the event was eighth with André de Cortanze the following year. After his racing career, Vinatier has worked as a technical delegate for the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).

paragraph: Andries Stockenström (judge)

paragraph: Justice Andries Stockenström (22 April 1844 Graaff-Reinet - 22 March 1880 Swellendam), second son of Sir Andries Stockenström (1st Baronet), was an influential judge in the Cape Colony. He was appointed Attorney-General of the Cape in 1877, but died soon after his appointment at the age of 36.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: The younger Andries Stockenström was born in Graaff-Reinet on 22-04-1844, the second son of the First Baronet Andries Stockenström and his wife Elsabe Maasdorp.

paragraph: He received an education in law in England and Germany, was called to the English Bar at the Middle Temple in 1865, and in 1866 was admitted as an advocate in Cape Town. He soon moved to Grahamstown, where he built up a large and successful practice.

paragraph: When his father died, his older brother Sir Gijsbert Henry Stockenström inherited the family’s Baronetcy.

paragraph: Section::::Legal career and work with Griqualand West.

paragraph: In 1875, he was named to act as a judge in the Griqualand West Land Court by High Commissioner Sir Henry Barkly. Griqualand West had recently been annexed by Britain and the Land Court was established to rule on questions of land title within the territory. This was controversial work, as the principal diamond fields lay within Griqualand West, and the rulings of the court would naturally influence the access that neighbouring states would have to this resource.

paragraph: In a crucial finding Stockenström ruled that, as the Griqua people were nomadic, the Griqua chiefs (or ""captains"") were rulers over a people, but not over a fixed territory. The Griqua people had also only arrived in this part of Southern Africa a little over 50 years before, in the early 19th century. The Griqua captains therefore did not automatically get the right to own and develop all of the land through which they moved, but only those areas in which they would settle. Other areas they could continue to move through, but were not given automatic title to own and develop.

paragraph: This resulted in the denial of many of the titles issued by Cornelis Kok and other Griqua leaders. The land claims of the powerful Griqua Captain Nicolaas Waterboer, outside of his core areas around Griquatown and Albania, were also denied.

paragraph: This decision also validated many of the official claims of the Orange Free State to the dry diamond diggings, but President Brand waived his country’s rights in return for a payment of £90 000. These rulings were hugely controversial at the time and caused the over-worked Stockenström immense distress.

paragraph: A common accusation, that Stockenström strongly denied, was that he was prejudiced against the Griqua agent David Arnot, and sympathetic towards Orange Free State President Johannes Brand.

paragraph: The size of the furore that arose in the wake of the Land Court findings led Andries to plea for a full Royal Commission of Inquiry into his rulings, and Barkly’s successor as Governor, Sir Henry Bartle Frere supported this request. It was however declined on the grounds that the crown had faith in his judgements. br

paragraph: Winifred Maxwell wrote in the DSAB (with reference to Andries):

paragraph: ""To his chagrin Britain refused on grounds of ‘Mr. Stockenström’s high reputation for the conscientious discharge of his official duties’. There was absolute confidence in his integrity.""

paragraph: Section::::Political career and death.

paragraph: Like his father Andries had a keen interest in politics, and in the final few years before his premature death he became increasingly involved in government.

paragraph: He initially contested the Grahamstown parliamentary seat in 1876, but lost it to Richard Southey.

paragraph: He was appointed Attorney-General for the government of Prime Minister John Molteno in 1877, to replace Simeon Jacobs who had retired due to ill health. However he tendered his resignation in 1878, in support of Molteno's fight against British interference in the Cape's government.

paragraph: Later in 1878 he succeeded in being elected MP for Albert (Burgersdorp), and was reappointed judge in 1879.

paragraph: Although unwell, he undertook a circuit in 1880, but died that year at the age of 36.

paragraph: Stockenström had married Maria Hartzenberg of Graaff-Reinet in 1867, and the couple had a single child, Andries (1868-1922), who became the third Stockenström baronet in 1912.

paragraph: Utagawa Yoshiiku

paragraph: , also known as or , was a Japanese artist of the Utagawa school.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Born the son of teahouse proprietor Asakusa Tamichi in 1833, Yoshiiku became a student of ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi toward the end of the 1840s. His earliest known work dates to 1852 when he provided the backgrounds to some actor prints by his master.

paragraph: Yoshiiku's earliest works were portraits of actors, beauties, and warriors. He later followed Kuniyoshi into making satirical and humorous pieces, and became the leading name in the field after Kuniyosh's death in 1861. He illustrated the "Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun" ("Tokyo Daily News") from 1874 to 1876, and then co-founded the "Tokyo E-iri Shinbun" ("Tokyo Illustrated News"). The latter folded in 1889, and Yoshiiku returned to making prints. He struggled during his last years, and his last known print appeared in 1903. His three known students, Ikumura, Ikuei, and Ikumasa, failed to achieve recognition.

paragraph: Yoshiiku had ten children with his second wife, only one of whom survived childhood. Yoshiiku died at age 71 in a temporary residence on 6 February 1904 in Honjo. He was buried at Anseiji temple in Asakusa and given the posthumous Buddhist name Juzen'in Hōkinikkaku Koji.

paragraph: Section::::Prints.

paragraph: Yoshiiku's works include the print "Kokkei Wanisshi-ki" (, "Comical Record of Japanese History"), which employs the traditional theme of "Hyakki Yagyō" on contemporary Japanese military actions in China. He cooperated with Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in the production of the "muzan-e" ("cruel pictures") series "Eimei nijūhasshūku" ("Twenty-eight famous murders with verse").

paragraph: François de Callières

paragraph: François de Callières, sieur de Rochelay et de Gigny (14 May 1645, Thorigny-sur-Vire, Lower Normandy – 5 March 1717, Paris) was a member of the Académie française, a diplomat and writer, a special envoy of Louis XIV who was one of three French plenipotentiaries who signed the Peace of Ryswick in 1697; his "De la manière de négocier avec les souverains", 1716 ("On the manner of negotiating with sovereigns", translated as "The Practice of Diplomacy"), based on his experiences in negotiating the Treaty and having its origins in a letter to the Regent, Philippe, duc d'Orléans, to whom the work was dedicated, became a textbook for eighteenth-century diplomacy: Thomas Jefferson had a copy in his library at Monticello. Of this book John Kenneth Galbraith declared "One wonders why anything more needed to be said on the subject."

paragraph: The companion volume, on the other hand, "De la science du monde et des connaissances utiles à la conduite de la vie" is less known, though it was quickly translated into English and was admired by Jefferson and Harold Nicolson.

paragraph: He was the son of Jacques de Callières, governor of Cherbourg and the author of "La Fortune des gens de qualité et des gentilshommes particuliers, enseignant l'art de vivre à la cour suivant les maximes de la politique et de la morale" ("The Fortune of people of quality and private gentlemen, teaching the art of living at court according to the maxims of politics and morality")

paragraph: His first commission, at the age of twenty-two, was on behalf of Henri, duc de Longueville, who sent him to Poland in order to press for the election of a Longueville, the comte de Saint-Pol, as King of Poland. The unlucky count was drowned in a crossing of the Rhine, and the commission came to nothing. Callières served discreetly in several European negotiations in the following years: Carlo Emmanuele II, Duke of Savoy employed him in attempting an alliance with France that was cut short by the Duke's death in 1675, but as the Savoyard envoy to Bavaria, Callières was involved in early stages of the negotiations that would eventually bring a Bavarian princess to the court of Louis as bride of the Grand Dauphin.

paragraph: In Paris he produced several books, including in 1688 a sensible and even-handed contribution in the Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns, "Histoire poetique de la guerre nouvellement declarée entre les anciens et les modernes" ("Poetic history of the war recently declared between the ancients and the moderns"); it included a poem on the subject by Charles Perrault. On 23 December 1689 he was elected to the Académie française; his reception piece was a panegyric on Louis XIV. Three "galante" works followed, a volume of the latest courtly expressions and the right moves, one reporting "bons mots" and witty anecdotes of railery and one on the "bon usage" of the French spoken at Court, contrasted with middle-class expressions, for people of quality to avoid.

paragraph: In 1694, when the misfortunes of war and a bad harvest in France had brought Louis round to negotiating with the League of Augsburg, Callières' Polish connections in Amsterdam alerted him that the United Provinces were ready for peace. Callières in turn alerted Colbert de Croissy, who sent him in great secrecy to Flanders with Louis de Verjus accompanying Nicolas Auguste de Harlay-Bonneuil, charged with making contact with the representatives of William III. At the end of negotiations he signed the Peace of Ryswick for France in 1697, the high point of his diplomacy. His success brought him an appointment as one of the private secretaries of the king. In his memoirs, Saint-Simon gives a good character of Callières, a gentleman with the courage to tell the truth to the King.

paragraph: His great work begins with the maxim

paragraph: Today the opening of his second chapter has stronger resonances than ever, two centuries after it was published:

paragraph: At his death, still unmarried, he left a house in the rue Saint-Augustin filled with French, Italian and Dutch paintings, a large and well-chosen library, and the bulk of his estate to the poor of Paris.

paragraph: Toshinori Kondo

paragraph: Kondo attended Kyoto university in 1967, and became close friends with percussionist Tsuchitori Toshiyuki. In 1972 the pair left university, and Toshiyuki went on to work with Peter Brook, while Kondo joined Yosuke Yamashita. In 1978 he moved to New York, and began performing with Bill Laswell, John Zorn, Fred Frith, and Eraldo Bernocchi. A year later he released his first recording, toured Europe with Eugene Chadbourne, and collaborated with European musicians such as Peter Brotzman. Returning to Japan, he worked with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kazumi Watanabe, and Herbie Hancock. In the mid-1980s he began focusing on his own career, blending his avant-garde origins with electronic music. In 2002, he worked on an international peace festival in Hiroshima after being approached by the Dalai Lama about organizing one. He is a former member of Praxis. Kondo cooperated with Bill Laswell to make the album Inamorata in 2007.

paragraph: He founded the band Kondo IMA in 1984. Kondo IMA achieved commercial success but moved to Amsterdam to be alone and to start "Blow the Earth" in 1993. They started "Blow the Earth in Japan" in the summer of 2007 and ended in the autumn of 2011. The film "Blow the Earth in Japan" is his first experience as a film director.

paragraph: Peter O'Sullevan

paragraph: Sir Peter O'Sullevan (3 March 1918 – 29 July 2015) was an Irish-British horse racing commentator for the BBC, and a correspondent for the Press Association, "Daily Express" and "Today". He was the BBC's leading horse racing commentator from 1947 to 1997, during which time he described some of the greatest moments in the history of the Grand National.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: The son of Colonel John Joseph O'Sullevan , resident magistrate at Killarney, and Vera (), Peter O'Sullevan was born in Newcastle, County Down before returning as an infant to his parents' home at Kenmare, County Kerry but brought up in Surrey, England. He was educated at Hawtreys, Charterhouse, and later at Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil in Switzerland.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: O'Sullevan was involved in some of the earliest television commentaries on any sport in the late 1940s and made many radio commentaries in his earlier years (including the Grand National before it was televised for the first time in 1960). On television, he commentated on many of the major events of the racing year, including the Cheltenham Festival until 1994, The Derby until 1979, and the Grand National, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood until he retired in 1997. During his career, he commentated on around 30 runnings of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris and racing from the United States and Ireland as well as trotting from Rome during the 1960s.

paragraph: During his 50 years of commentating on the Grand National, O'Sullevan commentated on numerous historic victories. These included Bob Champion's run on Aldaniti in 1981 after recovering from cancer, 100/1 outsider Foinavon's win in 1967, and the three-times winner Red Rum in 1973, 1974 and 1977. He also commentated on the 1993 Grand National, which was declared void after 30 of the 39 runners failed to realise there had been a false start, and seven went on to complete the course. As the runners approached the second-last fence in the so-called "race that never was", O'Sullevan declared it "the greatest disaster in the history of the Grand National."

paragraph: O'Sullevan became known as the "Voice of Racing". In a television interview before his 50th and last Grand National in 1997, he revealed that his commentary binoculars came from a German submarine. He was knighted the same year – the only sports broadcaster at that time to have been bestowed that honour. O'Sullevan was also a racehorse owner, including of Be Friendly, who won the King's Stand Stakes at Ascot, and Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp. He was twice successful in the Haydock Sprint Cup (then Vernons Sprint) in 1966 and 1967. Another horse he owned was Attivo, whose victory in the 1974 Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival was described by O'Sullevan as the most difficult race to call. After passing the line, O'Sullevan uttered: "And it's first Attivo, owned by, uh, Peter O'Sullevan... trained by Cyril Mitchell and ridden by Robert Hughes."

paragraph: Attivo also won the Chester Cup and the Northumberland Plate during the 1970s. O'Sullevan's final race commentary came at Newbury for the 1997 Hennessy Gold Cup, and he visited the winners' enclosure as a winning owner in the race which followed courtesy of Sounds Fyne's victory in the Fulke Walwyn Chase. He was succeeded as the BBC's lead commentator by Jim McGrath.

paragraph: After his retirement, O'Sullevan was actively involved in charity work fundraising for causes which revolve around the protection of horses and farm animals, including the International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH), the Thoroughbred Rehabilitation Centre and Compassion in World Farming. The National Hunt Challenge Chase Cup (run at the Cheltenham Festival) was named after him in 2008 to celebrate his 90th birthday. In 2010, Aintree Racecourse named O'Sullevan as one of the eight inaugural "Grand National Legends". His name is inscribed on a commemorative plaque at the course, alongside the likes of Ginger McCain and Captain Martin Becher.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: O'Sullevan met his wife Patricia, daughter of Frank Duckworth of Manitoba, Canada, at a ball in Manchester in 1947. She died of Alzheimer's disease in 2010.

paragraph: He died at his home in London on 29 July 2015 from cancer.

paragraph: Harriet Mathew

paragraph: Harriet Mathew was an 18th-century London socialite and patron of the arts, who is considered an important early patron of John Flaxman and William Blake. She was the wife of the Reverend Anthony Stephen Mathew (also known by the pseudonym Henry Mathew).

paragraph: Alexander Gilchrist, in his "Life of Blake", writes of her:

paragraph: John Thomas Smith was introduced to Blake by Mrs Mathew and heard him read and sing his poetry on several occasions; it was here that the qualities of his voice and reception of his audience were recorded in his contemporary biographical notes. Smith also notes she was "extremely zealous in promoting the celebrity of Blake" and as responsible, via her husband and his friends, for the printing of his "Poetical Sketches" (1783). Blake later satirised the Mathews, and the Johnson Circle and dinners, in 'An Island in the Moon'.

paragraph: A vaguely detailed story regarding the Mathews early patronage of Flaxman was first given by J. T. Smith, and repeated by Blake and Flaxman's biographers. A collection of sketches bearing titles of 'Harriet Mathew' and her relations have been attributed to Flaxman.

paragraph: Ralph Fitzwilliam

paragraph: Ralph Fitzwilliam (1256? – 11 February 1317), was a baron.

paragraph: Fitzwilliam was the son of William Fitzralph of Grimthorpe in Yorkshire, and of his wife Joan, daughter of Thomas de Greystock. He was probably born in 1256, as he is described in 24 Edward I as forty years old and more. In 1277 he served on behalf of his uncle, William de Greystock, in the Welsh war, and again on his own account in 1282, and in 1287 against the same enemy. In 1291 he was first summoned to serve against the Scots, and in 1295 was first summoned to parliament.

paragraph: In July 1297 he was appointed captain of the royal garrisons in Northumberland, and for his services against the Scots thanked in November, during this month he was also appointed one of the captains of the Scottish marches. In 1298 he was put at the head of the troops levied in Yorkshire. He was constantly serving against Scotland and in parliament. In 1300 he was at the siege of Caerlaverock. In the Old French/Anglo Norman of the epic poem of Caerlaverock, he is named "Rauf le FitzGuilleme" (Ralph le FitzWilliam) and his blazon is described (K, vv. 197-9):

paragraph: Ke cil de Valence portoit

paragraph: Car en lieu des merlos mettoit

paragraph: Trois chapeaus de rosis vermelles

paragraph: Translation: "Barruly argent and azure, three chaplets gules." (Literally 'That which [Aymer] de Valence [Item 21] bore/ But in place of the martlets he set/ Three chaplets of roses gules.')

paragraph: Other sources: H 40*; Barons Letter*

paragraph: In 1301 he signed as 'lord of Grimthorpe' the letter of the barons at the Lincoln parliament to the pope. He was also employed as a representative of the East Riding before the exchequer in 1300, and as the king's agent empowered to 'use all friendly ways' to exact a purveyance of grain from the Yorkshire monasteries in 1302. In 1304 he was commissioned with John de Barton to act as a justice to execute the statute of 'trailbaston' in Yorkshire (Hemingburgh, ii. 235); but in the commissions of 'trailbaston' in 1305 his name does not appear (Fœdera, i. 970). In the reign of Edward II he attached himself to the baronial opposition. In 1309 he was appointed a justice to receive in Northumberland complaints of prises taken contrary to the statute of Stamford. In 1313 he was among the adherents of Thomas of Lancaster who received a pardon for their complicity in the death of Gaveston (ib. ii. 231). In the same year he was made 'custos' of Cumber-land, and in 1314 one of the justices of oyer and terminer in Cumberland and Westmoreland for the trial of offenders indicted before the conservators of the peace. In January 1315 the magnates of the north appointed him one of the wardens of the marches. The king ratified their choice, and nominated him captain and warden of Newcastle upon Tyne and of all Northumberland. In March 1315 he was also made captain and warden of Carlisle and of the adjoining marches. In June 1316 he was appointed one of the wardens to defend Yorkshire against the Scots. The last writ addressed to him as a commissioner of array was on 15 September 1316. He died soon after, apparently about November, certainly before February 1317, and is said to have been buried in Nesham Priory, Durham (Dugdale).

paragraph: Fitzwilliam inherited and acquired very considerable estates in Northumberland, Yorkshire, and Cumberland (Cal. Inq. Post Mortem, i. 282). In 1296 he was declared nearest heir to Gilbert Fitzwilliam (Cal. Geneal. p. 515). In 1303 he got one-fourth of the manors in Northumberland belonging to John Yeland (ib. p. 646). In 1306 he succeeded to the estates of his cousin John de Greystock (ib. p. 713), for the repose of whose soul he founded a chantry at Tynemouth.

paragraph: Fitzwilliam married, about 1282, Marjory, daughter and coheiress of Hugh of Bolebec and widow of Nicholas Corbet. She died before 1303. His eldest son William died before him. He was succeeded by his second son Robert, who died before the end of 1317 (Cal. Inq. Post Mortem, i. 282). The estates then went to Ralph, the son of Robert, who assumed the name of Greystock. The barony remained in the family until 1487, when it passed through females to the Dacres of the north (Dugdale, ii. 24).

paragraph: Henry Ford (Tiverton MP)

paragraph: Sir Henry Ford (January 1617 – 1684), of Nutwell in Devon was four times MP for Tiverton between 1664 and 1685 and twice Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1669–70 and 1672-73.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Ford was the eldest son of Henry Ford (d.1616) of Bagtor in the parish of Ilsington, Devon by his wife Katharine Drake, daughter and sole heiress of George Drake of Spratshays in Littleham, Devon. His grandfather was

paragraph: Thomas Ford (1556–1610) of Bagtor in the parish of Ilsington, by his wife Elizabeth Popham (d.1629) of the Popham family of Huntworth in Somerset. Her monument exists in Ilsington Church. Thomas Ford's grandfather was John Ford (d.1538) of Ashburton (the son and heir of William Ford of Chagford,) who purchased the estate of Bagtor in the parish of Ilsington, which his male heirs successively made their seat. The Elizabethan mansion of the Fords survives today at Bagtor as the service wing of a later house appended in about 1700. Sir Henry Ford was a nephew of the dramatist John Ford (1586-c.1639)

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Henry Ford was born in January 1617 and was baptised at Littleham on 19 January 1617, four months after his father's death in September 1616. His mother remarried five years later in 1621 to John Clobery. Henry matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford on 21 November 1634 aged 17, and went home to look after his inheritance.

paragraph: Section::::Parliamentary career.

paragraph: In April 1660 Ford was elected Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel in the Convention Parliament, but his election was declared void on 5 May. He purchased Nutwell Court, in Woodbury, near Exeter, which he made his home. He was put in the Commission of the Peace for the county, and was lieutenant-colonel in the militia for the eastern division of the shire, of which he was likewise a deputy-lieutenant.He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1663 On 6 April 1664 he was elected MP for Tiverton in a by-election to the Cavalier Parliament. In 1669 he accompanied John, lord Robartes, the lord-lieutenant, to Ireland as secretary of state, but 'to his no little damage and disappointment' was recalled along with his chief the very next year. In 1672 Ford, having been knighted at Whitehall on 20 July in that year, served in the same capacity for Arthur Capel, 1st Earl of Essex. He did not, however, continue in office long, 'for being sent into England on some important affair, contrived by those who were willing to put him out of the way, he returned no more unto Ireland'. The fact was that his brusque, overbearing manner made him everywhere disliked. He was re-elected MP for Tiverton in the two elections of 1679 and in 1681.

paragraph: Ford died in 1684, aged 65, at Nutwell Court, and was buried in Woodbury Church.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Ford left a son Charles, supposed to have died in his minority, and three daughters, married to Drake, Holwell, and Egerton.
