paragraph: Leo II, King of Armenia

paragraph: Leo II or Leon II (occasionally numbered Leo III; , "Levon II"; c. 1236 – 1289) was king of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, ruling from 1269/1270 to 1289. He was the son of King Hetoum I and Queen Isabella and was a member of the Hetoumid family.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Leo was born in 1236, the son of King Hetoum I and Queen Isabella. Hetoum and Isabella's marriage in 1226 had been a forced one by Hetoum's father Constantine of Baberon, who had arranged for Queen Isabella's first husband to be murdered so as to put Constantine's own son Hetoum in place as a co-ruler with Isabella. They had six children, of which Leo was the eldest. One of his sisters was Sibylla of Armenia, who was married to Bohemond VI of Antioch to bring peace between Armenia and Antioch.

paragraph: In 1262 Leo married Keran (Kir Anna), the daughter of Prince Hetoum of Lampron.

paragraph: In 1266, while their father king Hetoum I was away to visit the Mongol court, Leo and his younger brother Thoros fought to repel Mamluk invaders, at the Battle of Mari. Thoros was killed in combat, and Leo, along with 40,000 other Armenian soldiers was captured and imprisoned. When King Hetoum returned, he paid a large ransom to retrieve his son, including a large quantity of money, handing over several fortresses, and accepting to intercede with the Mongol ruler Abagha in order to have one of Baibars's relatives freed.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Hetoum I abdicated in 1269 in favour of his son, and entered the Franciscan order. He died a year later. The new king Leo II was known as a pious king, devoted to Christianity. He pursued active commercial relations with the West, by renewing trade agreements with the Italians and establishing new ones with the Catalans. He also endeavoured to reinforce the Mongol alliance, as his father Hetoum I had submitted Armenia to Mongol authority in 1247.

paragraph: In 1271, Marco Polo visited the Armenian harbour of Ayas and commented favourably about Leo's reign and the abundance of the country, although he mentions his military forces were rather demoralized:

paragraph: In 1275 the Mamluk sultan Baibars invaded Cilicia for a second time. The following year, Armenia fought off an invasion by the Turkomans, but the Constable Sempad, Leo's uncle, was killed in combat.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.:Mongol alliance.

paragraph: In 1281 Leo joined the Mongols in their invasion of Syria, but they were vanquished at the Second Battle of Homs. Leo had to sue for peace, and in 1285 obtained a 10-year truce in exchange for important territorial concessions in favour of the Mamluks.

paragraph: Leo died in 1289 from arsenic, and was succeeded by his son Hetoum II.

paragraph: Section::::Descendance.

paragraph: During twenty-one years of marriage Leo had sixteen children by his wife Keran, ten sons and six daughters. Five of his children reached the throne. The eldest, Hetoum II of Armenia, abdicated after four years in favor of his younger brother Thoros III of Armenia, but was placed back on the throne in 1294. In 1296, their brother Sempad of Armenia blinded Hetoum and in 1298 he strangled Thoros, in order to seize power. Sempad was then overthrown in 1298 by their younger brother Constantine III of Armenia, who was replaced by older brother Hetoum, who then abdicated in 1305 in favor of Thoros's son Leo III of Armenia.

paragraph: Serapion of Antioch

paragraph: Serapion was a Patriarch of Antioch (191–211). He is known primarily through his theological writings, although all but a few fragments of his works have perished. His feast day is celebrated on October 30.

paragraph: Serapion was considered one of the chief theologians of his era.

paragraph: Eusebius refers to three works of Serapion in his history, but admits that others probably existed: first is a private letter addressed to Caricus and Pontius against Montanism, from which Eusebius quotes an extract ("Historia ecclesiastica" V, 19), as well as ascriptions showing that it was circulated amongst bishops in Asia and Thrace; next is a work addressed to a certain Domninus, who in time of persecution abandoned Christianity for the error of "Jewish will-worship" ("Hist. Eccles", VI, 12).

paragraph: Lastly, Eusebius quotes (vi.12.2) from a pamphlet Serapion wrote concerning the Docetic "Gospel of Peter", in which Serapion presents an argument to the Christian community of Rhossus in Syria against this gospel and condemns it.

paragraph: Eusebius also alludes to a number of personal letters Serapion wrote to Pontius, Caricus, and others about this "Gospel of Peter".

paragraph: Serapion also acted (Pantaenus supported him) against the influence of Gnosticism in Osroene by consecrating Palut as bishop of Edessa, where Palut addressed the increasingly Gnostic tendencies that the churchman Bardesanes was introducing to its Christian community. He ordained Pantaenus as a Priest or Bishop in Edessa.

paragraph: Serapion was succeeded as bishop of Antioch by Asclepiades (Eusebius "Historia ecclesiastica" VI, 11, 4).

paragraph: Fakhr al-Din al-Razi

paragraph: Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī or Fakhruddin Razi () was from Khorasan Sunni Muslim theologian and philosopher He was born in 1149 in Rey (in modern-day Iran), and died in 1209 in Herat (in modern-day Afghanistan). He also wrote on medicine, physics, astronomy, literature, history and law.

paragraph: He left a very rich corpus of philosophical and theological works that reveals influence from the works of Ibn Sīnā, Abu'l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī and al-Ghazali. Two of his works titled "Mabāhith al-mashriqiyya fī ‘ilm al-ilāhiyyāt wa-'l-tabi‘iyyāt" ("Eastern Studies in Metaphysics and Physics") and "al-Matālib al-‘Aliya" ("The Higher Issues") are usually regarded as his most important philosophical works.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Umar ibn al-Husayn at-Taymi al-Bakri at-Tabaristani Fakhr al-Din al-Razi () was born (544 AH) to a family of Arab immigrants from the tribe of Quraysh who migrated to Rey in Tabaristan (modern-day Mazandaran Province, Iran). He first studied with his father, and later at Merv and Maragheh, where he was one of the pupils of Majd al-Din al-Jili, who in turn had been a disciple of al-Ghazali. He was a leading proponent of the Ash'ari school of theology.

paragraph: His commentary on the Quran was the most-varied and many-sided of all extant works of the kind, comprising most of the material of importance that had previously appeared. He devoted himself to a wide range of studies and is said to have expended a large fortune on experiments in alchemy. He taught at Rey (Central Iran) and Ghazni (eastern Afghanistan), and became head of the university founded by Mohammed ibn Tukush at Herat (western Afghanistan).

paragraph: In his later years, he also showed interest in mysticism, though this never formed a significant part of his thought.

paragraph: Section::::"The Great Commentary".

paragraph: One of Imam Razi's outstanding achievements was his unique interpretive work on the Quran called "Mafātiḥ al-Ghayb" ("Keys to the Unseen") and later nicknamed "Tafsīr al-Kabīr" ("The Great Commentary"), one reason being that it was 32 volumes in length. This work contains much of philosophical interest. One of his "major concerns was the self-sufficiency of the intellect." He believed that proofs based on tradition ("hadith") "could never lead to certainty ("yaqin") but only to presumption ("zann"), a key distinction in Islamic thought." However, his "acknowledgment of the primacy of the Qur'an grew with his years." Al-Razi's rationalism undoubtedly "holds an important place in the debate in the Islamic tradition on the harmonization of reason and revelation."

paragraph: Section::::Development of Kalam.

paragraph: Al-Razi's development of Kalam (Islamic scholastic theology) led to the evolution and flourishing of theology among Muslims. Razi had experienced different periods in his thinking, affected by the Ash'ari school of thought and later by al-Ghazali. Al-Razi tried to make use of elements of Muʿtazila and "Falsafah", and although he had some criticisms on ibn Sina, Razi was greatly affected by him. The most important instance showing the synthesis of Razi's thought may be the problem of the eternity of the world and its relation to God. He tried to reorganize the arguments of theologians and philosophers on this subject, collected and critically examined the arguments of both sides. He considered, for the most part, the philosophers' argument for the world's eternity stronger than the theologians' position of putting emphasis on the temporal nature of the world. According to Tony Street, we should not see in Razi's theoretical life a journey from a young dialectician to a religious condition. It seems that he adopted different thoughts of diverse schools, such as those of Mutazilite and Asharite, in his exegesis, "The Great Commentary".

paragraph: Section::::Multiverse.

paragraph: Al-Razi, in dealing with his conception of physics and the physical world in his "Matalib al-‘Aliya", criticizes the idea of the geocentric model within the universe and "explores the notion of the existence of a multiverse in the context of his commentary" on the Quranic verse, "All praise belongs to God, Lord of the Worlds." He raises the question of whether the term "worlds" in this verse refers to "multiple worlds within this single universe or cosmos, or to many other universes or a multiverse beyond this known universe."

paragraph: Al-Razi states:

paragraph: Al-Razi rejected the Aristotelian and Avicennian notions of a single universe revolving around a single world. He describes their main arguments against the existence of multiple worlds or universes, pointing out their weaknesses and refuting them. This rejection arose from his affirmation of atomism, as advocated by the Ash'ari school of Islamic theology, which entails the existence of vacant space in which the atoms move, combine and separate . He discussed more on the issue of the void – the empty spaces between stars and constellations in the universe, that contain few or no stars – in greater detail in volume 5 of the "Matalib". He argued that there exists an infinite outer space beyond the known world, and that God has the power to fill the vacuum with an infinite number of universes.

paragraph: Section::::List of works.

paragraph: Al-Razi had written over a hundred works on a wide variety of subjects. His major works include:

paragraph: Tsutomu Miyazaki

paragraph: , also known as The Otaku Murderer or The Little Girl Murderer, was a Japanese serial killer, cannibal, child rapist and necrophile who abducted and murdered four young girls in Saitama and Tokyo Prefectures from August 1988 to June 1989. His crimes included vampirism and preservation of body parts as trophies.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Miyazaki was born premature and had a birth defect where his hand joints were fused together, preventing him from being able to bend his wrists upwards. Due to his deformity, he was ostracized when he attended Itsukaichi Elementary School, and consequently kept to himself. He attended Meidai Nakano High School in Nakano, Tokyo, and was a star student until his grades dropped dramatically. He was ranked 40 out of 56 in his class, and did not receive the customary admission to Meiji University. Instead of studying English and becoming a teacher as he originally intended, he attended a local junior college and studied to become a photo technician.

paragraph: In the mid-1980s, Miyazaki moved back into his parents' house near his father's print shop, sharing a room with his elder sister. Although Miyazaki's family was highly influential in Itsukaichi, where his father owned a newspaper, Miyazaki expressed no desire to take over his father's job. After his arrest, Miyazaki would say that what he really craved was "being listened to about his problems" but believed that his parents, more worried about the material than the sentimental—"would have not heard [him]; [he] would've been ignored". In the same confession, he said that by this period in his life he had begun to consider suicide.

paragraph: Miyazaki was rejected by his two younger sisters, and felt he only received support from his grandfather. In May 1988, his grandfather died. This served to deepen his depression and isolated him even further. In an attempt to "retain something from him", Miyazaki ate part of his grandfather's ashes. A few weeks later, one of his sisters caught him watching her while she was taking a shower. When she told him to leave, Miyazaki attacked her. When his mother learned of the incident and demanded that he spend more time working, and less time with his videos, he attacked her as well.

paragraph: Section::::Murders.

paragraph: Between August 1988 and June 1989, Miyazaki mutilated and killed four girls between the ages of four and seven, and sexually molested their corpses. He drank the blood of one victim and ate a part of her hand. These crimes—which prior to Miyazaki's apprehension were named the "Little Girl Murders" and later the —shocked Saitama Prefecture, which had few crimes against children.

paragraph: During the day, Miyazaki was, by all accounts, a mild-mannered individual. Outside of work, he randomly selected children to kill. He wrote to the families of his victims, sending them letters recalling the details of his murders. Police found that the families of the victims had something else in common: all received silent nuisance phone calls. Miyazaki would not speak a word during these calls, instead would just breathe heavily. If they did not answer Miyazaki’s calls, he would call repeatedly, sometimes their phones would ring up to 20 minutes.

paragraph: On August 22, 1988, one day after Miyazaki's 26th birthday, Mari Konno, a four-year-old girl, vanished while playing at a friend's house. After failed attempts to find her, Konno's father contacted the police. Miyazaki had led Konno into his black Nissan Langley and abducted her. He drove westward of Tokyo and parked the car under a bridge in a wooded area. There he sat alongside the girl for a half-hour before murdering her. He then engaged in sexual acts with the corpse and left her corpse in the hills near his home. He took her clothes with him and departed. He allowed Konno's corpse to decompose for a while before later returning to remove the hands and feet, which he kept in his closet. These were recovered upon his arrest. He charred her remaining bones in his furnace, ground them into powder, and sent them to her family in a box, along with several of her teeth, photos of her clothes, and a postcard which read: "Mari. Cremated. Bones. Investigate. Prove."

paragraph: On October 3, 1988, Miyazaki was driving along a rural road when he spotted seven-year-old Masami Yoshizawa. He offered her a ride, and she accepted. He then drove to the same place he had killed Konno, and killed Yoshizawa. He engaged in sexual acts with the corpse, and took the girl's clothes with him when he departed.

paragraph: On December 12, 1988, four-year-old Erika Namba was returning home from a friend's house when Miyazaki kidnapped her, forcing her into his car. He drove to a parking lot in Naguri, Saitama, forced her to remove her clothes in the back seat, and began to take pictures of her. After killing her, he tied her hands and feet behind her back, covered her with a bed sheet, and placed the body in his car's trunk. He disposed of the girl's clothes in a wooded area and left the body in the adjoining parking lot. Miyazaki sent a postcard to her family, assembled using words cut out of magazines: "Erika. Cold. Cough. Throat. Rest. Death."

paragraph: On June 6, 1989, Miyazaki convinced five-year-old Ayako Nomoto to allow him to take pictures of her. He then led her into his car and murdered her. He covered the corpse with a bed sheet and placed her in the trunk of his car, taking the body to his apartment. He spent the next two days engaging in sexual acts with the corpse, taking pictures of it in various positions, and filming it.

paragraph: When the body began to decompose, Miyazaki dismembered it, abandoning the torso in a cemetery and the head in the nearby hills. He kept the hands, from which he drank blood and ate part of them. Fearing that the police would find the corpse, he returned to the cemetery and the hills two weeks later and carried the remains back to his apartment, where he hid them in his closet.

paragraph: Section::::Arrest.

paragraph: On July 23, 1989, Miyazaki saw two sisters playing in a park in Hachioji. He managed to separate the younger of the sisters from the older one, who stayed behind. The older sister then ran home to get her father who returned to find Miyazaki taking photographs of the younger daughter who he had convinced to strip nude. The father attacked Miyazaki, but was unable to restrain him. After fleeing on foot, Miyazaki eventually returned to the park to retrieve his Toyota car, whereupon he was arrested by police who had responded to a call by the father. A search of Miyazaki's two-room bungalow produced 5,763 videotapes, some containing anime and slasher films (later used as reasoning for his crimes). Interspersed among them was video footage and pictures of his victims. He was also reported to be a fan of horror films of which he had a collection. Miyazaki, who retained a perpetually calm and collected demeanor during his trial, appeared indifferent to his capture.

paragraph: Section::::Moral panic.

paragraph: The media called him "The Otaku Murderer". His killings caused a moral panic against otaku, accusing anime and horror films of making him a murderer. Various newspapers claimed that Miyazaki had retreated into a fantasy world of manga as a result of his neglected upbringing. Keigo Okonogi, a psychoanalyst at Tokyo International University, told the "Shūkan Post" that:

paragraph: These reports were disputed. In Eiji Ōtsuka's book on the crime, he argued that Miyazaki's collection of pornography was probably added or amended by a photographer in order to highlight his perversity. Another critic, Fumiya Ichihashi, suspected the released information was playing up to public stereotypes and fears about otaku, as the police knew they would help cement a conviction. Sharon Kinsella asserts that large collections of manga and videos were typical in the rooms of youths living in the Tokyo area at the time.

paragraph: Section::::Trial and execution.

paragraph: The trial began on March 30, 1990. Often talking nonsensically, Miyazaki blamed his actions on "Rat Man", an alter ego who Miyazaki claimed forced him to kill; he spent time during the trial drawing "Rat Man" in cartoon form. Miyazaki's father refused to pay for his son's legal defense and committed suicide in 1994.

paragraph: The seven-year trial focused on Miyazaki's mental state at the time of the murders. Under Japanese law, people of unsound minds are not subject to punishment, and the feeble-minded are entitled to reduced sentences. Three teams of court-appointed expert psychiatrists came to differing conclusions about Miyazaki's ability to tell right from wrong. Two teams determined him to be feeble-minded—one team concluding that he was schizophrenic, the other that he had multiple personality disorder. A third team found that although Miyazaki had a personality disorder, he was still capable of taking responsibility for his actions.

paragraph: The Tokyo District Court judged him aware of the magnitude and consequences of his crimes and therefore accountable. He was sentenced to death on April 14, 1997. His death sentence was upheld by both the Tokyo High Court, on June 28, 2001, and the Supreme Court of Justice on January 17, 2006.

paragraph: He described his serial murders as an "act of benevolence". Child killer Kaoru Kobayashi described himself as "the next Tsutomu Miyazaki or Mamoru Takuma". Miyazaki stated, "I won't allow him to call himself 'the second Tsutomu Miyazaki' when he hasn't even undergone a psychiatric examination."

paragraph: Minister of Justice Kunio Hatoyama signed his death warrant and Miyazaki was hanged on June 17, 2008. The unusual swiftness of his execution as well as its timing soon after the Akihabara massacre prompted questions regarding the two incidents; the Ministry of Justice had no comment. Ryūzō Saki said, "His trial was long" and that he was "not willing to criticize Hatoyama".

paragraph: Nicholas de Moels

paragraph: Nicholas de Moels (born c. 1195; died 1268 or 1269) of North Cadbury in Somerset, was an Anglo-Norman royal administrator and household knight of King Henry III. In this capacity he was assigned many and varied offices and duties, often of a temporary nature. He married a wealthy heiress which transformed him into a major landholder and feudal baron. In 1244 whilst serving as Seneschal of Gascony, he inflicted a defeat on the King of Navarre whom he took prisoner in the field.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: His parentage is unknown. His surname appears to derive from the Norman manor of Meulles in Calvados, south-west of Orbec, in the Diocese of Lisieux. Devonshire historian Tristram Risdon (d.1640) stated that he ""descended of an ancient lineage in this shire"" but provided no further detail. One of the many tenants of Devonshire baron Baldwin de Meulles (died 1090), a Domesday Book tenant in chief, was a certain "Roger de Moles", who held from him at least the two manors or estates of Lew Trenchard and Waddlescot / Warson. Later, in 1242 as recorded in the Book of Fees, these lands were held by a certain "John de Molis" from John de Courtenay, feudal baron of Okehampton, who had inherited much of the land formerly held by Baldwin, including Okehampton Castle. This John de Molis, perhaps a brother of Nicholas, would also hold Lashbrook, Dornaford, Exbourn and Highampton, which had been held by a Roger de Molis in 1086.

paragraph: Nicholas was born in about 1195 and appears to have spent some of his early life in the court of King John (1199-1216), whose son King Henry III (1216-1272) he would later serve.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He served as Sheriff of Hampshire (1228–1232), Sheriff of Devon (1234), and Sheriff of Yorkshire (1239–1242); also as Constable of Winchester Castle, Pembroke Castle, Haverfordwest Castle, Cilgerran Castle, Tenby Castle, Rochester Castle (1247), Canterbury Castle (1247) and Corfe Castle. He was also Governor of the Channel Islands.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Seneschal of Gascony.

paragraph: Matther Paris wrote as follows concerning events in 1243:

paragraph: Which may be translated as follows:

paragraph: In September 1243 King Henry III left Gascony to return to England, having on 17 June 1243 appointed Nicholas de Moels as Seneschal of Gascony, as is related by Matthew Paris in his Chronica Majora, with a marginal illustration of the King and Queen on board a ship with a man in a small boat alongside, apparently de Moels seeing him off. The Latin text following the illustration is as follows:

paragraph: Translated as:

paragraph: In 1244 in Gascony de Moels inflicted a defeat on the King of Navarre, capturing him in person on the battlefield, according to the Devonshire historian Tristram Risdon (d.1640). He was relieved of that office, with commendation for his service, in July 1245.

paragraph: The event is related as follows by Matthew Paris:

paragraph: Which may be translated:

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Return to England.

paragraph: He returned to England to fight in the Welsh wars and was made governor of Caernarvon Castle and Cardigan Castle. In 1246 he was made Constable of Dover Castle, Sheriff of Kent in 1247 and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports in 1258.

paragraph: Section::::Landholdings.

paragraph: Many of the gifts of land he received from the king were temporary in nature, comprising lands forfeited by other landholders but later restored to them. In 1217 he was granted a lease of the manor of Watlington in Oxfordshire, "for his sustenance in the king's service". In 1226 he was granted Little Berkhamstead, which was later confirmed to him in fee. After his marriage in 1230 to Hawise de Newmarch, heiress of North Cadbury and many other manors, he became a major landholder in his own right. He continued to receive royal grants. In 1230 he was granted the royal demesne manors of King's Carswell and Diptford in Devon. In 1250/1 he was granted free warren in his manors of Cadbury and nearby Mapperton in Dorset.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In or after 1230 he married (as her second husband), Hawise de Newmarch, widow of John de Botreaux (whom she had married in 1218) and younger daughter & co-heiress of James de Newmarch (d.1216), feudal baron of North Cadbury in Somerset. The other sister Isabel de Newmarch, married Ralph Russell (died c. 1250), son of her guardian Sir John Russell (died c. 1224) of Kingston Russell in Dorset, also a household knight of King John and of the young King Henry III to whom he also acted as steward.

paragraph: By Hawise he had children including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- James de Moels (d.March 1252/3), eldest son and heir apparent who predeceased his father. In 1243 he was assigned to be educated with Prince Edward, son of King Henry III.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Roger de Moels (c.1233/7-1294), 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir, Marshal of the Army and Governor of Lampsdervour Castle in Ceredigion. His second son was John de Moels, 1st Baron Moels (d. 1310).

paragraph: Salem Poor

paragraph: Salem Poor (1747–1802) was an African-American slave who purchased his freedom, became a soldier, and rose to fame as a war hero during the American Revolutionary War.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Poor was born in 1747 into slavery on a farm in Andover, Massachusetts owned by John Poor and his son John Poor Jr. He bought his freedom on July 10, 1769 from John Poor Jr. for £27, a year's salary for an average working man at the time. Before joining the Revolutionary Army in 1775, Poor lived in Andover with his wife, Nancy, a free African American woman, and their son.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: In May 1775, Poor enlisted in the militia, serving under Captain Benjamin Ames in Colonel James Frye's regiment, opposing the British troops occupying besieged Boston. He is best remembered today for his actions during the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, where he is credited with mortally wounding British Lieutenant Colonel James Abercrombie.

paragraph: Poor's valor and gallantry at the Battle of Bunker Hill prompted 14 officers, including Colonel William Prescott, to cite him for heroism and petition the General Court of Massachusetts with the following statement:

paragraph: The Reward due to so great and Distinguished a Character. The Subscribers beg leave to Report to your Honorable. House (Which We do in justice to the Character of so Brave a man) that under Our Own observation, we declare that A Negro Man Called Salem Poor of Col. Fryes Regiment, Capt. Ames. Company in the late Battle of Charleston, behaved like an Experienced Officer, as Well as an Excellent Soldier, to Set forth Particulars of his Conduct would be Tedious, We Would Only beg leave to say in the Person of this Negro Centers a Brave & gallant Soldier.

paragraph: On July 10, 1775, George Washington ended the recruitment of African Americans. On November 12, he issued orders prohibiting all black men from serving in the Continental Army. (Despite the ban on recruitment, those who had already been serving for some time were allowed to stay until this point.) On hearing of this, Lord Dunmore, who at the time was Governor of Virginia, offered freedom to all slaves willing to serve with the British. Washington, sensing the disaster that would almost surely result, immediately changed his position, at once ordering all recruiters to enlist any black men who wanted to fight.

paragraph: Poor immediately re-enlisted in the militia and fought with the Patriot forces until March 20, 1780, when he was apparently discharged. He is known to have retreated to the winter camp at Valley Forge and fought in the Battle of White Plains.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In August 1771, Poor married Nancy Parker, "a half breed Indian servant in the family of Capt. James Parker", according to papers in the Charlotte Helen Abbot Collection of the Andover Historical Society; they had a son, Jonas, who was baptized on September 29, 1776. In 1780, he married his second wife, Mary Twing, a free African American. The couple moved to Providence; however, they were ordered to leave that city, presumably because they could not support themselves. In 1785, he placed an advertisement in the "Boston Gazette" to disown Mary's debts and "forewarn all Persons from trusting MARY, the Wife of the Subscriber". Poor then married Sarah Stevens, a white woman, in 1787, and in 1793 he spent several weeks in the Boston Almshouse. He was briefly jailed for "breach of peace" in 1799, married for the fourth and final time in 1801, and died in 1802. Details of his life after the Revolutionary War were not widely known until research by genealogist David Lambert, a descendant of Poor's former owners; an article about this research appeared in "The Boston Globe" in 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Honors.

paragraph: In 1975, Poor was honored with a stamp in the "Contributors to the Cause" series commemorating the United States Bicentennial. Poor Street in Andover was named after him.

paragraph: Jan Łaski

paragraph: Jan Łaski or Johannes Alasco (1499 – 8 January 1560) was a Polish Reformed reformer. Owing to his influential work in England (c. 1543–1555) during the English Reformation, he is known to the English-speaking world by the Anglicised forms John Laski and John a Lasco .

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Jan Łaski was born in Łask, the son of Jaroslaw Łaski, the voivode of Sieradz Voivodship, and Susanna Bąk, the daughter of Zbigniew Bąk of Bąkowa Góra.

paragraph: His uncle, also Jan Łaski, was by turns royal secretary, Archbishop of Gniezno, Primate of Poland and Grand Chancellor of the Crown; he was also the uncle of King Sigismund I the Old. Both Jan Łaskis' coat-of-arms was "Korab".

paragraph: After his family's fall from political power and prestige, Łaski, a learned priest, went in 1523 to Basel, where he became a close friend of Erasmus and Zwingli.

paragraph: In 1542, he became pastor of a Protestant church at Emden, East Frisia. Shortly after, he went to England, where in 1550 he was superintendent of the Strangers' Church of London and had some influence on ecclesiastical affairs in the reign of Edward VI.

paragraph: In 1551, he excommunicated, and had burned at the stake for Arianism, a member of his London congregation, George van Parris.

paragraph: On the accession of Roman Catholic Queen Mary in July 1553, he fled to Copenhagen with a shipload of refugees from the Strangers' Church. However they were denied refuge there because they would not accept the Augsburg Confession of Faith. They were resettled in Brandenburg. Łaski also helped Catherine Willoughby and her husband after they too had left England. His support enabled them to obtain an appointment from Sigismund II as administrators of Lithuania.

paragraph: Łaski was a correspondent of John Hooper, whom Łaski supported in the vestments controversy.

paragraph: In 1556, he was recalled to Poland, where he became secretary to King Sigismund II and was a leader in the Calvinist Reformation.

paragraph: His contributions to the Reformed churches were the establishment of church government in theory and practice, a denial of any distinction between ministers and elders except in terms of who could teach and administer the sacraments. With fellow Reformed ministers, Martin Micron, and Gellius Faber, John à Lasco wrote long treatises and had an extensive dialogue with Anabaptist Menno Simons, who understood "the World became flesh" in a literal way and denied the orthodox view that "the Word took on flesh" in the incarnation.

paragraph: He died in Pińczów, Poland.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Forma ac ratio" (1550) -- A "Form and Rationale" for the liturgy of the Stranger churches in London. Possibly influenced the 1552 Book of Common Prayer, John Knox's Scottish order, the Middleburg ordinal, the 1563 German Palatinate order, and the "forms and prayers" in Pieter Dathenus' psalter, which was influential in Dutch Calvinist churches.

paragraph: Wilfrid Foster

paragraph: Major Wilfrid Lionel Foster, CBE, DSO (2 December 1874 – 22 March 1958) was an English Army officer and a first-class cricketer: a right-handed batsman who played for Worcestershire County Cricket Club in their early years as a first-class team. He was one of the seven Foster brothers, all of whom played first-class cricket for the county. Foster also appeared for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the Gentlemen. He was also an amateur footballer, turning out for Corinthian.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: Born in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, like his brothers Foster was educated at Malvern College before going to the Royal Military Academy and being commissioned into the Royal Artillery in November 1894. He was promoted to Lieutenant on 17 November 1897, and served in the Second Boer War 1900–1901, during which he was promoted Captain on 16 January 1901. He was seconded for a staff appointment in South Africa as Deputy Assistant Adjutant-General in April 1902. He later served in World War I, for which he won the Distinguished Service Order (DSO).

paragraph: Section::::Cricket.

paragraph: Foster made his first-class debut for Worcestershire in 1899, against Yorkshire in Worcestershire's first ever match at that level, though he had a personally unmemorable game in scoring 0 and 22. However, the season as a whole was a success for him: he made 1,041 runs in all, and topped Worcestershire's batting averages with 42.57. Against Hampshire, both he and his brother Tip scored a century in each innings; Wilfrid scored 140 and 172 not out, the former being his maiden first-class century, and the latter being his highest first-class score.

paragraph: Foster played three first-class matches (none for Worcestershire) in 1900, but was then out of the game for several years owing to his service in the Boer War. He returned to first-class cricket in 1903, but never again played more than a handful of games in a season. From 1903 he was employed by the Birmingham-based glassmaking company of Chance Brothers, which might explain his only very moderate success with the bat. His last match was in 1911 against Middlesex.

paragraph: Section::::Other sports.

paragraph: As well as his cricketing accomplishments, Foster was a fine rackets player, winning the Public Schools racquets championship with his brother, H. K. Foster, in 1892 and the Amateur Doubles Championship on two occasions.

paragraph: He also played for renowned amateur football side Corinthian, including scoring their only goal in the 1898 Sheriff of London Charity Shield replay against Football League winners Sheffield United which resulted in the sides sharing the honour in a 1–1 draw.

paragraph: Foster died at the age of 83 in Ryton Grove, near Shifnal, Staffordshire.

paragraph: Alfred Kreymborg

paragraph: Alfred Francis Kreymborg (December 10, 1883 – August 14, 1966) was an American poet, novelist, playwright, literary editor and anthologist.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and associations.

paragraph: He was born in New York City to Hermann and Louisa Kreymborg (nee Nasher), who ran a small cigar store, and he spent most of his life there and in New Jersey. He was an active figure in Greenwich Village and frequented the Liberal Club.

paragraph: He was the first literary figure to be included in Alfred Stieglitz's 291 circle, and was briefly associated with the Ferrer Center where Man Ray was studying under Robert Henri. From 1913 to 1914, Kreymborg and Man Ray worked together to bring out ten issues of the first of Kreymborg's prominent modernist magazines: "The Glebe". Ezra Pound – who had heard about "The Glebe" from Kreymborg's friend John Cournos – sent Kreymborg the manuscript of "Des Imagistes" in the summer of 1913 and this famous first anthology of Imagism was published as the fifth issue of "The Glebe"

paragraph: In 1913 Man Ray and Samuel Halpert, another of Henri's students, started an artist's colony in Ridgefield, New Jersey. This colony was often also referred to as 'Grantwood' and comprised a number of clapboard shacks on a bluff on the Hudson Palisades opposite Grants Tomb, across the Hudson River in Manhattan. Kreymborg moved to Ridgefield and launched "" with Skipwith Cannell, Wallace Stevens, and William Carlos Williams in 1915. Pound had, along with the "Des Imagistes" poems, written to Kreymborg suggesting that he contact 'old Bull' Williams, that is William Carlos Williams. Williams did not live far from Ridgefield, and he became involved in the magazine. Soon there was a group of artists associated with the magazine. Marianne Moore came to Ridgefield for picnics, and from 1915 Marcel Duchamp occasionally visited. Regarding Marianne Moore, she was asked in an interview whether Alfred Kreymborg was her American discoverer, to which she replied, "It could be said, perhaps; he did all he could to promote me. Miss Monroe and the Aldingtons had asked me simultaneously to contribute to "Poetry" and "The Egoist" in 1915. Alfred Kreymborg was not inhibited. I was a little different from the others. He thought that I might pass as a novelty, I guess."

paragraph: 1915 also saw the publication of a story in part based on a personal experience. The story was titled 'Edna' and published as "Edna: The Girl of the Street;" by the Greenwich Village entrepreneur Guido Bruno; the subtitle was Bruno's idea, added without the consent of the author. John S. Sumner of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice raised a stir; there was a court case which led to the Bruno's imprisonment. The attendant morals row drew in George Bernard Shaw and Frank Harris: Harris made an impassioned statement in court defending the publisher.

paragraph: Kreymborg was lifelong friends with Carl Sandburg, each independently choosing to write in free verse. Kreymborg's tone-poems, or 'mushrooms', had seldom made it into print, but in 1916, soon after his move to Ridgefield they were brought out in book form by John Marshall as 'Mushrooms: A Book of Free Forms' and Williams praised them as a "triumph for America".

paragraph: Kreymborg spent a year touring the United States, mostly visiting universities, reading his poetry — including at The Sunwise Turn in New York, an early supporter of his work — while accompanying himself on a mandolute.

paragraph: Kreymborg continued to edit "Others" somewhat erratically until 1919; he then in June 1921 sailed to Europe to act as co-editor of "Broom, An International Magazine of the Arts" (along with Harold Loeb). Contributors included Malcolm Cowley, E. E. Cummings, Amy Lowell and Walter de la Mare. The magazine lost money. Kreymborg soon resigned and the magazine ceased publication in 1924. An ironic anecdote on the status of modernism: Kreymborg arranged for an aspiring artist Fernand Léger to create the artwork for the cover of volume 2, number 4 of "Broom". When "Broom" ceased publication, the original painting was left behind for its next tenants. Original works by Léger from that time period have sold for several million dollars.

paragraph: Kreymborg's poems appeared in "The Dial" in 1923.

paragraph: In the summer of 1925, Kreymborg was staying in Lake George Village, and happened to meet Paul Rosenfeld who was staying with Stieglitz. In one late night discussion Kreymborg and Rosenfeld lamented the disappearance of various literary magazines, including "Broom." Another neighbour, Samuel Ornitz appeared and offered financial backing for an annual book of new writing. Thus Kreymborg and Rosenfeld founded "American Caravan", which was to be edited by Lewis Mumford and Van Wyck Brooks. "The Second American Caravan", was edited by Kreymborg, Mumford, and Rosenfeld; it was reviewed the December 1928 issue of "The Dial".

paragraph: 1925 also saw the publication of his autobiography "", in which he refers to himself in the third person by the nicknames "Ollie" and "Krimmie". Among other things, the book narrate Kreymborg's courtship of and marriage to Gertrude Lord ("Christine") and their amicable separation one year later on account of Gertrude's attachment to the American artist Carl Schmitt ("Charles"). It also tells of his second marriage to Dorothy ("Dot") Bloom.

paragraph: In 1929, Random House chose him to be one of the poets to appear in "The Poetry Quartos", proposed by Paul Johnston. Kreymborg contributed the poem, "Body and Stone." He also contributed a short story to "The Prose Quartos", published by Random House in 1930.

paragraph: Section::::1930s and later.

paragraph: In 1938 Kreymborg's verse drama for radio "" was broadcast by NBC and received such an enthusiastic response from the public that it was repeated a few weeks later.

paragraph: Kreymborg maintained a long-term connection with Alfred Stieglitz primarily because of Kreymborg's relationship with Hugo Knudsen, who invented some of the early photo-printing processes that Stieglitz utilized. Knudsen and Kreymborg both married sisters Beatrice (Bea) and Dot Bloom (respectively).

paragraph: Section::::Other interests.

paragraph: He also wrote puppet plays (his most famous being "Manikin Minikin" and "Lima Beans"), which he performed with his wife, Dot, while touring the United States.

paragraph: Kreymborg played chess at a near-professional level; he was recognized as a National Master standard player in his youth. On two occasions he played and lost to José Capablanca, including a defeat in 1910 due to a mix-up in his endgame He drew one game with the U.S. Champion Frank Marshall in the 1911 Masters Tournament, but shortly afterward left the chess world after a stunning defeat by Oscar Chajes, returning to the sport roughly 23 years later. He wrote the article 'Chess Reclaims a Devotee', which is semi-autobiographical and also based on Charles Jaffe; the story is well known in chess circles.

paragraph: Kreymborg was very close with sculptor Alexander "Sandy" Calder.

paragraph: Due to his knack of "discovering" and publishing some of the most important poets during his time, Kreymborg later became president of the Poetry Society of America.

paragraph: Section::::Critical views.

paragraph: Kreymborg later became a relatively conservative poet, but – according to Julian Symons – "never an interesting one"

paragraph: Ashur-nadin-apli

paragraph: Aššūr-nādin-apli, inscribed "aš-šur-", was king of Assyria (1207 BC – 1204 BC or 1196 BC – 1194 BC short chronology). The alternate dating is due to uncertainty over the length of reign of a later monarch, Ninurta-apal-Ekur, where conflicting king lists differ by ten years. His name meant "Aššur is the giver of an heir" in the Akkadian language. He was a son of Tukulti-Ninurta I.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The events surrounding the overthrow of Tukulti-Ninurta remain somewhat shrouded in mystery. His military conquests seem to have taken place during the first half of his reign with modern scholarship suggesting that his climactic victory against Kaštiliašu IV and the city of Babylon occurred during two campaigns during his thirteenth and fifteenth years, if the placing of the eponyms, the Assyrian dating system, of Etel-pi-Aššur and Aššur-bel-ilani are correct. The latter part of his reign was characterized by reversal as the over-extended Assyrian military struggled to hold on to the earlier prizes and this may well have been the reason for his toppling.

paragraph: Copies of the "Assyrian King List" record that "Aššūr-nādin "or" nāṣir-apli, his son, seized the throne (for himself and) ruled for three "or" four years." Brinkman relates that "it is uncertain whether one or two princes lie behind the conflicting scribal traditions," but Grayson is more emphatic, "there seem to have been at least two sons." Yamada, however, argues that it was scribal confusion with the later succession of Tukulti-Ninurta II by Aššūr-nāṣir-apli II. The names differ by just one cuneiform character, for "nāṣir" and for "nādin". The Babylonian "Chronicle P" recalls "Aššur-nāṣir-apli, his son ("mar-šu") and the officers of Assyria rebelled, removed him from his throne, shut him up in a room and killed him."

paragraph: It was Aššūr-nādin-apli who succeeded to the throne, as testified by the scanty inscriptions left behind, which include bricks from Assur (line art pictured), "(Property of) the palace of Aššūr-nādin-apli …" and a lengthy text on a stone tablet commemorating rerouting the Tigris to the north of the city by "divine means" to recover agricultural fields and the erection of a shrine. This breaks with Assyrian tradition, extending the list of royal epithets to include "faithful shepherd, to whom by the command of the gods Aššur, Enlil and Šamaš the just sceptre was given and whose important name was called for the return (or care) of the land, the king under the protective hand of the god An and select of the god Enlil…" by which we may infer he was seeking divine support for his tenuous throne.

paragraph: Just one eponym has been positively identified for his rule, that of Erīb-Sîn, which dates the stone tablet. A tablet also dated to this year was found at Tell Taban, site of the vassal state of Tâbatu near modern Al-Hasakah during salvage excavation under the direction of Hirotoshi Numoto in advance of the building of a dam in northeastern Syria. The king of Tâbatu was an Assyrian official named Adad-bēl-gabbe whose rule spanned that of four Assyrian monarchs seemingly unaffected by the turmoil at the heart of the empire.

paragraph: He was succeeded by Aššur-nerari III, who was either his son or his nephew, again depending on the existence of Aššūr-naṣir-apli.

paragraph: Radboud of Utrecht

paragraph: Saint Radbod (or Radboud) (before 850 – 917) was bishop of Utrecht from 899 to 917.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Radboud was born around the middle of the 9th century from a noble Frankish family near Namur. His mother was of Frisian origin and a descendant of the Frisian king Radboud (died in 719 ). Radboud began his studies under the care of his maternal uncle Gunthar (Günther), Archbishop of Cologne from 850 until his deposition in 863. After that Radboud continued his studies at the court school of the Western Frankish king Charles the Bald (843- 877), whose chaplain he became. After Charles's death, he presumably became a Benedictine monk in the famous Saint-Martin convent of Tours. In 899 Radboud was elected bishop of the diocese of Utrecht with the permission of Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia (887-899). Because Utrecht was destroyed by the Normans, he did not live there but in Deventer in the Oversticht, where one of his predecessors had settled.

paragraph: As bishop, Radboud was the most important representative of East Frankish authority in the northern Netherlands. In 911, however, the Duchy of Lorraine, in which the diocese of Utrecht was located, came to the western Frankish kingdom. Radboud then seems to have wavered between loyalty to his old king or loyalty and connection with the new monarch. His most ancient biographical description criticizes him for the use of bishops in the East Frankish government, but this criticism may be the responsibility of the author. Around 914/915 he traveled to Rome where he presented a further unknown conflict with Count Meginhard of Hamaland to Pope John X (914-928); After having heard Radboud and representatives of Meginhard, the pope found a settlement.

paragraph: Radboud made preparations to take the seat in Utrecht again. To do so, he drew up a list of all the possessions of the diocese before the expulsion by the Normans. Radboud died in Ootmarsum in 917 before these plans could be executed. He had appointed his successor, Balderik, himself.

paragraph: Section::::Writings.

paragraph: A number of smaller writings are attributed to Radboud, but there are doubts about his authorship. Most of the writings are saints' lives, some in prose, others in verses. He described the life of the Anglo-Saxon missionaries Boniface (in prose), Suitbertus and Lebuïnus (both in a sermon and in verses), as well as St. Amalberga and Bishop Servatius of Maastricht .

paragraph: He devoted several poetry works to Martinus van Tours (patron of the monastery in Tours and Utrecht). His poem The hirundine (About the Swallow) is the only one among the preserved poems that is not about a religious subject. It may already have arisen in Radboud's school days and is possibly the oldest poem in the Netherlands.

paragraph: We know the life of Radboud himself, in addition to chronicles, charters and his own writings, from a holy life, the "Vita Radbodi" , which according to recent studies must have been written between 962 and 975, presumably by a Utrecht canon . According to this holy life, Radboud would also have composed ecclesiastical chants. These have not been preserved. It is also mentioned that Radbod descended from the Frisian king Radbod.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: He was buried in the Lebuin Church of Deventer. Several sources, including historian Johan Picardt , indicate that his intestines have been buried in the church in Nijenstede. During the Middle Ages, the veneration of Saint Radboud remained limited to the diocese of Utrecht. His feast day is 29 November.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.:Patronage.

paragraph: In the Netherlands , Radboud is the patron of Catholic scientific practice. In 1905, the St. Radboud Foundation was established with the aim of promoting Catholic higher education in the Netherlands and in particular the establishment of a Catholic university . In 1923 the Catholic University of Nijmegen was opened, in 1956 the associated Sint-Radboud hospital (now Radboudumc ). On 1 September 2004, the university adopted the name Radboud University Nijmegen.

paragraph: Conny Bloom

paragraph: Conny Bloom is the stage name for Ulf Conny Blomqvist, (born 23 November 1964 in Stockholm) who is a Swedish guitarist and songwriter. He is best known as the frontman for the funk metal band, Electric Boys. Bloom also served a stint as a guitarist of the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks and in Silver Ginger 5

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Bloom began working in the musical arena and teamed up first with bassist Andy Christell, working as a duo, with Bloom supplying the vocals and guitar to Christell's bass guitar. They were signed by Polygram and scored a local Swedish hit with the single "All Lips and Hips" in 1988. With guitarist Franco Santunione and drummer Niklas Sigevall, they formed the band, the Electric Boys. The band's debut, "Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride" held a better balanced version of Bloom and Christell's first hit, and they moved on to record another, "Groovus Maximus", which never outdistanced their debut, and finally, after a change in lineup with the guitarist and drummer who had joined the duo leaving for new replacements, "Freewheelin" was released, but without much better critical or commercial success.

paragraph: Although starting out on the Scandinavian scene with bands like Roadrats, Rolene and Electric Boys, Bloom has created a great body of work on his own. The man who was already the local guitar hero at 14 is somewhat of a celebrity in Sweden and has also, especially with Electric Boys and later Silver Ginger 5, gained some international attention. After joining Hanoi Rocks, in 2004, however, Bloom has put his other projects in hold. He is also known in the UK for starring in an advert for Jameson Irish Whiskey.
