paragraph: Peter Čeferin

paragraph: Peter Čeferin is a Slovenian attorney and the author of articles on issues related to the legal profession (specifically the position and profession of practicing attorneys). He is the father of Aleksander Čeferin, the current president of UEFA and FIFA council member.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Čeferin was born in 1938 in Ljubljana to Anica Čeferin (born Kačnik) and Emil Čeferin. His father was a lawyer and an expert in cooperative agricultural law and a professor the University of Ljubljana. Čeferin earned his baccalaureate at a classical secondary school (gymnasium) in 1956 and enrolled at the Faculty of law, University of Ljubljana the same year, where he graduated in 1960. Čeferin began his independent practice as an attorney in 1967. In 1986 he completed his Master's degree at the Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana, and successfully defended his doctoral thesis – "Odvetnik, njegova neodvisnost nekoč in danes, posebej v Sloveniji" [The Attorney, His Independence in the Past and Today, With Particular Regard to Slovenia] – in 1988.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After graduation, Čeferin worked as a journalist, and was also engaged in playwriting. The Ljubljana City Theatre staged two of his satires as part of the literary-satirical cabaret "Smeh ni greh" ["Laughter is not a Sin"]: "Srečka" ["The Lottery Ticket"] and "Pridržanje do iztreznitve" ["Detained until Sober"].

paragraph: He has worked as an attorney since 1967. In 1993 he founded the Law Firm Čeferin together with his two sons Rok Čeferin and Aleksander Čeferin. He works principally in the domains of criminal law and constitutional law and personal (human) rights law.

paragraph: Čeferin was a member of the Council for the Protection of Human Rights in the period before Slovenia's independence (1991), and Vice President of the Bar Association of Slovenia from 1985 to 1989. In 1989 Čeferin organised the contentious legal defence by a group of Slovenian attorneys of a striking miners in Kosovo, in a wider case known as the Vllasi case, a politically-driven procedure launched against Azem Vllasi and others prosecuted for their alleged spearheading of a crippling nationwide strike staged by the miners (1989 Kosovo miners strike). With their strike action the miners were accused of violating and undermining the state constitution of Yugoslavia. After a process that lasted several months the court ruled with a verdict of not guilty.From 1991 to 1995 he was also a member of the National Council of the Republic of Slovenia. Dr. Čeferin initiated a change to the Police Act, according to which suspects acquired the right to the help of an attorney already upon first dealings with the police – not only once the prosecution process had begun, which had been the case up until then. In the years 2003–2005 Čeferin was publicly recognised as one of the ten most influential lawyers in Slovenia. In September 2014, the Bar Association of Slovenia presented Čeferin with the highest honour for his life work as an attorney, the Danilo Majaron Medal, for his outstanding achievements in the development of the attorney's profession. In January 2018, Peter Čeferin won the case he brought before the European Court of Human Rights, Čeferin vs Slovenia (App 40975/08), wherein the court decided that the Republic of Slovenia had violated his freedom of speech when it fined him for his critical statements directed at the court and the expert witnesses.

paragraph: He is the author of professional and scientific monographs, including "Neodvisnost odvetnika" ["The Independence of the Attorney"] (Uradni list SR Slovenije, 1988), "The Bar Association of Slovenia. Excerpts from History" (The Bar Association of Slovenia, 2014) and "Odvetništvo na Slovenskem: Od habsburške monarhije do neodvisne države" ["The Barrister's Profession in Slovenia: From the Habsburg Monarchy to the Independent State"] (Litera, 2016). Čeferin is also the author of a number of literary works, collections of short stories that focus largely on his career work as an attorney: "Moje odvetniško življenje" ["My Life as an Attorney"] (Cankarjeva založba 2012), "Valat" ["Euchre"] (Litera 2013), "Moje zgodbe" ["My Stories"] (Litera 2014) and "100 sodnijskih" ["100 from the Court"] (Litera 2015).

paragraph: In 2018, slovenian writer Tadej Golob wrote a biography about dr. Peter Čeferin with title "Nespodobni odvetnik" ["Indecent Lawyer"] (Didakta 2018),

paragraph: Bertold of Regensburg

paragraph: Bertold of Regensburg (c. 1220 – 13 December 1272), also known as Berthold of Ratisbon was a German preacher during the high Middle Ages.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was a native of Regensburg, and entered the Franciscan monastery there.

paragraph: He was a member of the Franciscan community founded at Regensburg in 1226. His novitiate was passed under the guidance of David of Augsburg; and by 1246 he is found in a position of responsibility. By 1250 at the latest, he had begun his career as an itinerant preacher, first in Bavaria, where he endeavored to bring Duke Otto II back to obedience to the church. He then appears farther westward, at Speyer in 1254 and 1255, afterwards passing through Alsace into Switzerland. In the following years the cantons of Aargau, Thurgau, Konstanz, and Grisons, with the upper Rhine country, were the principal scenes of his activity. In 1260 he went farther afield, traversing after that date Austria, Moravia, Hungary, Silesia, Thuringia, and possibly Bohemia, reaching his Slavonic audiences through an interpreter. Some of his journeys in the East were probably in the interest of the crusade, the preaching of which was specially entrusted to him by Pope Urban IV in 1263.

paragraph: The German historians, from Berthold's contemporary, Abbot Hermann of Niederaltaich, down to the middle of the sixteenth century, speak in the most glowing terms of the force of his personality and the effect of his preaching, which is said to have attracted almost incredible numbers, so that the churches could not hold them; and he was forced to speak from a platform or a tree in the open air. The gifts of prophecy and miracles were soon attributed to him, and his fame spread from Italy to England. He must have been a preacher of great talents and success.

paragraph: Although the manuscript reports of his sermons, which began to circulate very early, are by no means to be trusted as literal productions, we can still form from them a tolerably accurate idea of the matter and manner of his preaching. It was always of a missionary character, based formally on the Scriptures for the day, but soon departing from them to apply the special theme which Berthold wished to enforce. This generally finds its point in the insistent call to true sorrow for sin, sincere confession, and perfect penance; penance without contrition has no value in God's sight, and neither a crusade nor a pilgrimage has any good result unless there is a firm purpose to renounce sin. From this standpoint Berthold criticizes the new preachers of indulgences.

paragraph: The extremely mixed character of his audiences led him to make his appeal as wide and general as possible. He avoids subtle theological questions, and advises the laity not to pry into the divine mysteries, but to leave them to the clergy, and content themselves with the credo. The weighty political occurrences of the time are also left untouched. But everything that affects the average man — his joys and his sorrows, his superstitions and his prejudices — is handled with intimate knowledge and with a careful clearness of arrangement easy for the most ignorant to follow. While exhorting all to be content with their station in life, he denounces oppressive taxes, unjust judges, usury, and dishonest trade. Jews and heretics are to be abhorred, and players who draw people's minds away to worldly pleasure; dances and tournaments are also condemned, and he has a word of blame for the women's vanity and proneness to gossip. He is never dry, always vivid and graphic, mingling with his exhortations a variety of anecdotes, jests, and the wild etymologies of the Middle Ages, making extensive use of the allegorical interpretation of the Old Testament and of his strong feeling for nature.

paragraph: His German sermons, of which seventy-one have been preserved, are among the most powerful in the language, and form the chief monuments of Middle High German prose. His style is clear, direct and remarkably free from cumbrous Latin constructions; he employed, whenever he could, the pithy and homely sayings of the peasants, and is not reluctant to point his moral with a rough humour. As a thinker, he shows little sympathy with that strain of medieval mysticism which is to be observed in all the poetry of his contemporaries.

paragraph: He died in Regensburg on 13 December 1272.

paragraph: Emil Brunner

paragraph: Heinrich Emil Brunner (1889–1966) was a Swiss Reformed theologian. Along with Karl Barth, he is commonly associated with neo-orthodoxy or the dialectical theology movement.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Brunner was born on 23 December 1889 in Winterthur, in the Swiss canton of Zürich.

paragraph: He studied at the universities of Zurich and Berlin, receiving his doctorate in theology from Zurich in 1913, with a dissertation on "The Symbolic Element in Religious Knowledge". Brunner served as pastor from 1916 to 1924 in the mountain village of Obstalden in the Swiss canton of Glarus. In 1919–1920 he spent a year in the United States studying at Union Theological Seminary in New York.

paragraph: In 1921, Brunner published his "Habilitationsschrift" (a post-doctoral dissertation traditionally required in many countries in order to attain the position of a fully tenured professor) on "Experience, Knowledge and Faith" and in 1922 was appointed a "Privatdozent" at the University of Zurich. Soon after, another book followed: "Mysticism and the Word" (1924), a critique of the liberal theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher. In 1924 Brunner was appointed Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology at the University of Zurich, a post which he held until his retirement in 1953. In 1927 he published "The Philosophy of Religion from the Standpoint of Protestant Theology" and second "The Mediator".

paragraph: After accepting various invitations to deliver lectures across Europe and the United States, in 1930 Brunner published "God and Man " and in 1932 "The Divine Imperative." Brunner continued his theological output with "Man in Revolt" and "Truth as Encounter" in 1937. In the same year he was a substantial contributor to the World Conference on Church, Community, and State in Oxford, a position which was reflected in his continued involvement in the ecumenical movement. In 1937–1938 he returned to the United States for a year as a visiting professor at Princeton Theological Seminary.

paragraph: Brunner's ecclesiastical positions varied at differing points in his career. Before the outbreak of the war Brunner returned to Europe with the young Scottish theologian Thomas F. Torrance who had studied under Karl Barth in Basel and who had been teaching at Auburn Theological Seminary, New York (and who would subsequently go on to distinguish himself as a professor at the University of Edinburgh). Following the war, Brunner delivered the prestigious Gifford Lectures at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, in 1946–1947 on "Christianity and Civilisation." In 1953 he retired from his post at the University of Zurich and took up a position of Visiting Professor at the recently founded International Christian University in Tokyo, Japan (1953–1955), but not before the publication of the first two volumes of his three-volume "magnum opus" "Dogmatics" (volume one: "The Christian Doctrine of God" [1946], volume two: "The Christian Doctrine of Creation and Redemption" [1950], and volume three: "The Christian Doctrine of the Church, Faith, and Consummation" [1960]). While returning to Europe from Japan, Brunner suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and was physically impaired, weakening his ability to work. Though there were times when his condition would improve, he suffered further strokes, finally dying on 6 April 1966 in Zürich.

paragraph: Brunner holds a place of prominence in Protestant theology in the 20th century and was one of the four or five leading systematicians.

paragraph: Section::::Theology.

paragraph: Brunner rejected liberal theology's portrait of Jesus as merely a highly respected human being. Instead, Brunner insisted that Jesus was God incarnate and central to salvation.

paragraph: Some claim that Brunner also attempted to find a middle position within the ongoing Arminian and Calvinist debate, stating that Christ stood between God's sovereign approach to mankind and free human acceptance of God's gift of salvation. However, Brunner was a Protestant theologian from German-speaking Europe (a heritage which did not lay nearly as much weight on the Calvinist–Arminian controversy as Dutch- or English-speaking theology). Thus, it may be more accurate to describe his viewpoint as a melding of Lutheran and Reformed perspectives of soteriology; the Lutheran accent in particular was dominant in Brunner's affirmation of single predestination over against both the double predestination of Calvin and the liberal insistence on universal salvation, a view he charged Barth with holding.

paragraph: In any event, Brunner and his compatriots in the neo-orthodox movement rejected "in toto" Pelagian concepts of human cooperation with God in the act of salvation, which were prominent in other humanist conceptions of Christianity in the late 19th century. Instead, they embraced Augustine of Hippo's views, especially as refracted through Martin Luther.

paragraph: Although Brunner re-emphasized the centrality of Christ, evangelical and fundamentalist theologians, mainly those from America and Great Britain, have usually rejected Brunner's other teachings, including his dismissal of certain miraculous elements within the scriptures and his questioning of the usefulness of the doctrine of the inspiration of the Bible. This is in accord with the treatment that conservatives have afforded others in the movement such as Barth and Paul Tillich; most conservatives have viewed neo-orthodox theology as simply a more moderate form of liberalism, rejecting its claims as a legitimate expression of the Protestant tradition.

paragraph: Section::::Relationship with Karl Barth.

paragraph: Brunner was considered to be the chief proponent of the new theology long before Barth's name was known in America, as his books had been translated into English much earlier. He has been considered by many to be the minor partner in the uneasy relationship. Brunner once acknowledged that the only theological genius of the 20th century was Barth.

paragraph: Jean Le Fèvre de Saint-Remy

paragraph: Jean le Fèvre de Saint-Remy or Jean Lefebvre de Saint-Remy (c. 1394 – June 16, 1468) born in Abbeville, was a Burgundian chronicler during the Hundred Years' War and lord ("seigneur") of Saint Remy, la Vacquerie, Avesnes and Morienne. He is also known by the formal title of authority "Toison d'or" (Golden Fleece) because he served as the King of Arms to the Order of the Golden Fleece.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Of noble birth, he adopted the profession of arms and with other Burgundians fought in the English ranks at the Battle of Agincourt. Following the foundation of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1430 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, at the Order's chapter meeting in Lille (November 1431) Le Fèvre was appointed its king of arms and he soon became a very influential person at the Burgundian court. As counsellor to the duke of Burgundy, he frequently assisted Philip III in conducting negotiations with foreign powers, and he was an arbiter in tournaments and authority on all questions of chivalry, where his wide expert knowledge of heraldry was highly respected. Recognition of distinction for his services in the form "adoubement" and "knighthood" ensued late in Le Fèvre's life: the medieval chronicler Georges Chastellain describes a moving scene at the occasion of the Order's chapter meeting in Bruges in May 1468, where the King of Arms Le Fèvre retired from service on the grounds of old age. Shortly after the Order's tribute in his honour, Le Fèvre died at Bruges of natural causes on 16 June 1468.

paragraph: Le Fèvre also wrote a chronicle or history of Charles VI of France. The greater part of this chronicle is a resumption of the work of Enguerrand de Monstrelet, but Le Fèvre is an original authority for the years between 1428 and 1436 and makes some valuable additions to our knowledge, especially about the chivalry of the Burgundian court. He is more concise than Monstrelet, but is equally partial to the dukes of Burgundy. The chronicle has been edited by F. Morand for the Société de l'histoire de France (Paris, 1876): "Chronique de Jean le Fèvre Seigneur de Saint Rémy". Le Fèvre is usually regarded as the author of "Livre des Faits de Jacques Lalaing", a chronicle biography on the events of the Burgundian knight Jacques de Lalaing.

paragraph: George Ravenscroft

paragraph: George Ravenscroft (1632 – 7 June 1683) was an English businessman in the import/export and glass making trades. He is primarily known for his work in developing clear lead crystal glass (also known as flint glass) in England.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Little is known about Ravenscroft’s personal life, character or appearance, though his father described him in his will as a responsible family man and an astute businessman. He was born in 1632, the second of five sons of Roman Catholic parents who hid their true faith and lived outwardly as Anglicans, and he was baptized in Alconbury Weston, England, in April 1633. From 1643 to 1651 Ravenscroft attended the English College in Douai, France to train for the priesthood, but he dropped out before finishing his training and returned to London by 1666.

paragraph: After settling in London and establishing a successful import/export business that made him wealthy, Ravenscroft married Hellen Appleby, from Yorkshire, England, in 1670 or 1671 and had three children with her. In 1684 his widow subsequently married Sir Thomas Sheridan (politician), Chief Secretary of State for Ireland (1687-1688). Ravenscroft died on 7 June 1683 after suffering from "a palsy" and was buried in the Ravenscroft vault in the Church of St. John the Baptist in Chipping Barnet, North London, England. Today in Chipping Barnet a school, a park, a garden, and a road are called Ravenscroft, suggesting the importance of the Ravenscroft family in the area at one time.

paragraph: Section::::Early career (1651–1666).

paragraph: Ravenscroft’s whereabouts and activities between 1651 and 1666 are unclear, though it is certain that he lived in Venice, Italy for at least some of this time working as a merchant and possibly learning glassmaking techniques that he would later bring back to England. At some point he established a successful import/export business in Venice with two of his brothers, Francis and James.

paragraph: Section::::Later career (1666–1683).

paragraph: Section::::Later career (1666–1683).:Background.

paragraph: Ravenscroft moved to London by 1666 and continued working in the import/export business, trading goods such as currants, glass, and lace. There are differing accounts of Ravenscroft’s role in the invention and subsequent development of lead crystal glass. This much is generally accepted to be true: During the years Ravenscroft lived in Venice (sometime between 1651 and 1666) he was involved in the glass trade, not as a craftsman but as a merchant, so he knew and associated with glassmakers in Italy. By the time Ravenscroft moved back to England several glassmakers there had already started manufacturing glassware that attempted to mimic Italian cristallo, and Ravenscroft decided to start his own glass-making business while still running his import/export business.

paragraph: It is likely that Ravenscroft was the director and financier of his glassworks but not actively involved in the physical process of glass-making, a role likely to have been performed by one or more craftsmen in his employ, such as Italians Signor da Costa or Vincenzo Pompeio, or his English assistant Hawley Bishopp, who set up his own glassworks, in the Savoy area of London, after Ravenscroft’s death. Ravenscroft’s glassworks produced mainly drinking glasses but also made some bowls and posset pots.

paragraph: At this point the circumstances concerning Ravenscroft’s role in lead crystal manufacture becomes less clear. This is partly because records from the mid-17th century are incomplete, but is also largely because Ravenscroft was secretive about his ingredients and processes. There is proof that he was helped by Sir Robert Plot FRS, who suggested using flints from Oxfordshire river beds in place of dark grey London flints to the very expensive white flints from the river bed of the River Po in Italy as used in Murano. It is now believed that Dr Plot requested a sample of his powder which was described as being "fine and white". If he added lead oxide (in a red lead powder form), the powder would appear pale pink, so he may have deliberately have misled Dr Plot and his assistant sent to visit in Henley on Thames. He was probably careful to prevent competitors from copying him and also wished to agree a deal with the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers of London Glass Sellers’ Company, to which he gave exclusive rights to buy his creations at pre-determined prices in return for a grant to finance his Henley-on-Thames workshop, with two teams of glass blowers.

paragraph: There is some debate over how, when, and why Ravenscroft was inspired to use lead in the production of glass. Some believe that he accidentally discovered that adding lead oxides to the glass mixture lent the final product special qualities, while others believe that he learned the technique in Venice. The use of lead in glass was known in Italy as proved by 12% lead being discovered in the white cameo layer of The Portland Vase, a famous Roman artefact in the British Museum Others point out that the process was documented in an Italian book, L'Arte Vetraria, written by Antonio Neri in 1612 was translated into English by Christopher Merrett in 1662.

paragraph: Whatever the origin of the idea, Ravenscroft believed that he had a unique product to offer the English market, so he applied to King Charles II for a patent in 1674 to establish his right to be sole manufacturer of lead crystal glass in England. He produced lead crystal glass for a period of only five years, dissolving his manufacturing business in 1679. His patent expired in 1681.

paragraph: In 1680 he became associated with the Vauxhall glassworks, working with the company until his death in 1683.

paragraph: Section::::Later career (1666–1683).:Ravenscroft’s Lead Crystal Glass.

paragraph: Ravenscroft’s glass works were set up in two locations, the primary facility being established in Savoy, London in 1673 and a secondary, temporary facility set up between 1674 and 1675 in Henley-on-Thames.

paragraph: Early Ravenscroft glass (1674–1676) typically suffered from crizzling (gradual, unstoppable deterioration characterized by numerous cracks, making the glass look cloudy), within 1 to 2 years, because of impurities in the glass-making mixture - excessive alkaline salts or insufficient amounts of lime, which acts as a stabilizer, have been suggested as possible causes. No early pieces are known to still exist.

paragraph: The "crizzling" damaged the reputation of the company, and Ravenscroft and his team worked to fix the problem. Ravenscroft announced in 1676 that the "crizzling" problem had been resolved and that the new, improved glass vessels would bear a raven’s head seal to distinguish them from earlier, faulty pieces. A small number (less than twenty) of glass vessels bearing the raven’s head seal exist today, some of which have crizzled and some of which have not.

paragraph: More pieces created by Ravenscroft may exist, but in the absence of the raven’s head seal, which he stopped using in about 1677, or any descriptions or drawings of his designs, it is difficult to positively attribute particular pieces to him. Some pieces thought to strongly resemble Ravenscroft’s work bear an “S” seal; some have suggested that the “S” stands for “Savoy,” Ravenscroft’s main production facility, while others believe that the “S” stands for “Southwark, or Savoy, as he had a glassworks close to the Savoy Chapel ruins” indicating the South London glass works of John Bowles and William Lillington. There may be around forty glass items made by Ravenscroft using his new lead recipe, but less than twenty with the raven's seal.

paragraph: The addition of lead oxide to the raw ingredients of glass resulted in a melted mixture that had a lower viscosity than ordinary glass, which had the advantage of being less likely to contain air bubbles. This made it easier to blow giving it a "working time" of about two minutes without re-heating, and made it particularly suitable for blowing into moulds. Lead glass has a higher refractive index, making its appearance sparkling, bright, and brilliant in light. It “rings” when struck.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: It is not known why Ravenscroft decided to sever his ties with the London Glass Sellers’ Company and leave the glass-making business in 1679 (his strong Roman Catholic beliefs might have made him unpopular), but his style of lead crystal glass became fashionable in England and within 20 years of his patent some 100 glass makers in England were producing lead crystal glass. Ravenscroft did not “invent” lead crystal glass, as others had already discovered the advantages of adding lead oxide to glass, but he did improve the process. More than a dozen of Ravenscroft’s pieces are known to exist (see table below), and the “robust simplicity” of his designs is still admired.

paragraph: Wilmer W. Tanner

paragraph: Wilmer Webster Tanner ( – ) was an American zoologist, professor and curator. He was associated with Brigham Young University (BYU), in Provo, Utah for much of his life and published extensively on the snakes and salamanders of the Great Basin.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Tanner was born in Fairview, Utah, into a Mormon family. His paternal grandfather, David Dan Tanner, had immigrated to Utah in 1848. Tanner was the fourth of John and Lois Ann Tanner's five children. One of Tanner's brothers, Vasco, was also a naturalist who taught at BYU.

paragraph: On , in the Salt Lake Temple Tanner married Helen Brown, with whom he had three children. Helen died in 1995, and Tanner married retired BYU instructor Ottella Watson on . Ottella died November 21, 2003.

paragraph: Section::::Education and career.

paragraph: In 1929, Tanner was a Mormon missionary to the Netherlands, where he learned Dutch. After his return in 1932, Tanner attended BYU, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1936. Tanner prepared a thesis about the snakes of Utah for his Master of Science in 1937. He then began a doctorate, but was delayed by World War II until 1946. At that time, Tanner was working as an assistant for Edward Harrison Taylor at Kansas University. Wilmer obtained his Ph.D. in 1948 with a thesis on comparative anatomy of salamanders of Mexico and Central America. In 1950, Tanner joined the BYU faculty.

paragraph: In 1961 it was reported that Tanner, then an associate professor of zoology and entomology at BYU, was in the midst of a four-year study of the effect on Utah wildlife from exposure to higher natural radiation (from petrified trees which can concentrate radioactive minerals), resulting in areas with a 10 to 20 microcurie higher radiation level per hour than is typical of the surrounding geography.

paragraph: Section::::Education and career.:Museum leadership.

paragraph: Tanner served as the curator of the BYU's Life Sciences Museum from 1972 to 1979. In the late 70s, he helped process a large donation of samples and convinced the donor to fund a new building for the museum. The Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum opened to the public in 1978 and over the ensuing years increased staff were hired, educational exhibits developed and scientific activities funded. Tanner felt this was the most important aspect of his career and devoted almost a quarter of his autobiography to discussing how the grant was won from Mr. Bean.

paragraph: Section::::Study and work.

paragraph: Tanner's interest in herpetology was influenced by many people, primarily his brother Vasco Myron Tanner (a professor of zoology and entomology of Brigham Young University), Joseph Richard Slevin of the California Academy of Sciences, and Laurence Monroe Klauber (who gave Tanner access to his collection); Helen Beulah Thompson Gaige, Norman Edouard Hartweg, Clark Hubbs, and Albert Hazen Wright were also influential.

paragraph: Tanner published over 130 scientific articles, fifteen describing new species and genera. He is commemorated in the scientific name of the lizard "Sceloporus tanneri".

paragraph: Tanner was a member of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was one-time president of the Herpetologists' League. He was the publisher of "Herpetologica" magazine for 18 years. He has also served as president of the Provo Energy Board.

paragraph: Joseph Saragossi

paragraph: Joseph Saragossi, () (1460 – 1507) was a Spanish-born rabbi and kabbalist of the 15th and 16th centuries. He is credited with developing Safed into an important Jewish and kabbalistic centre. Due to a legend he is known as "Tzaddik ha-Lavan" (White Saint) or "Tzaddik ha-Tarnegolim" (Cockerel Saint.)

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Although Saragossi was born in 15th-century Spain, it is possible that his family did not originate in the Spanish town of Saragossa, as his name implies, but rather Zaragoza (Syracuse) in Sicily. He was banished with the rest of the Jewish community in 1492 and travelled through Sicily to Beirut and Sidon. He settled in Safed, where he became a rabbi. There were about 300 Jews there who had originally come from the Berbers, Sephardim and Moriscos, but they had no natural leader.

paragraph: Saragossi became a rabbi and a leader of the Jewish people despite his quiet manner. His charismatic personality was used to foster the growth of peace and harmony within the community. He endeavored to show reconciliation and mutual respect towards Safed's Muslim and Arab inhabitants. Saragossi's influence in Safed has been compared to the Italian Obadyah di Bertinoro who made a similar contribution to the community in Jerusalem.

paragraph: When Saragossi indicated his intention to leave Safed, the people of Safed persuaded him to remain, offering to pay him an annual retainer. The respect of the Arab community was demonstrated when their Muslim governor promised to provide 33 of the 50 ducats that was offered to Saragossi as an annual payment. Combining Talmudic with kabbalistic knowledge, Saragossi created a movement interested in Kabbalistic Jewish study in Safed. His kabbalistic teachings attracted the attention of David ibn Abu Zimra.

paragraph: In accordance with his wish, Saragossi was buried adjacent to the tomb of Judah bar Ilai, the site where he experienced a revelation of the prophet Elijah. The object of a legend in which a salvation was wrought at his graveside involving the procurement of 500 pure white chickens, he was thereafter called the "Tzaddik ha-Lavan" (White Saint) or the "Tzaddik ha-Tarnegolim" (Cockrel Saint.) At the turn of the 19th-century, Saragossi's tomb at 'Ain Zaitun was the object of a weekly pilgrimage from the morning after Passover (22nd Nisan) until the 18th Iyyar.

paragraph: Priam Painter

paragraph: The Priam Painter was a vase painter in the black-figure technique, active in Athens during the late 6th century BC.

paragraph: He is considered one of the more skilled, and more productive, painters of his time. Some scholars have such a high opinion of him that they draw a connection with the Antimenes Painter of the Leagros Group. His range of subjects is rather limited, but his execution is highly detailed, imaginative and indicates great compository skill. His most frequent motifs are chariot races in the presence of Athena and Herakles, as well as scenes set at public fountains. These choices have been interpreted as indicating support of the Peisistratid dynasty - as that ruling family identified especially with Athena and had constructed a number of fountain houses in the city. According to that interpretation, the vases must have been produced shortly before the Peisistratids were driven from Athens in 510 BC.

paragraph: Stylistically, the Priam Painter is close to the Rycroft Painter.

paragraph: Willy Guéret

paragraph: Willy July Guéret (born 3 August 1973) is a French former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Guéret was born in Saint-Claude, Guadeloupe. He joined Le Mans in 1996, playing alongside a young Didier Drogba, but moved to England on 28 July 2000 when he signed for Millwall. First-team opportunities were limited, however, and Guéret made only 18 starts for Millwall (with a further two as substitute) in all competitions. He was on the bench as Millwall lost the 2004 FA Cup Final to Manchester United, and contributed to two games earlier in the cup run against Telford United and Burnley.

paragraph: On 1 July 2004, Guéret signed for Swansea City. The club achieved promotion from League Two in his first season at Bury but Guéret's celebrations turned sour when the Swansea players entered the directors box against the orders of the game safety officer after the final whistle. Guéret and the other players were ordered by police to leave the directors box but Gueret was arrested for repeatedly telling a police officer to f**k off. Guéret was placed in a police van and taken to Bury police station where he was later released after being issued an £80 fixed penalty notice for disorder for an offence under s5 Public Order Act and was able to travel back from Greater Manchester to Swansea with his teammates. He expressed his wish to stay at the club until the end of his career. He would later go on to help Swansea win the 2006 Football League Trophy Final.

paragraph: However, having fallen out of favour at Swansea, Guéret signed for MK Dons on the opening day of the 2007–08 season. He was hailed by Ray Mathias as the best goalkeeper in League Two.

paragraph: Guéret has been widely recognised and became a fans' favourite at MK Dons for his heroic penalty saves. He saved a penalty in the 2008 Football League Trophy Final, and throughout the League Two championship season in 2008 he made saves against Wycombe Wanderers and Chester City both home and away.

paragraph: On 1 February 2011, Guéret signed for Kettering Town after leaving the Dons by mutual consent.

paragraph: After six months at Kettering Guéret announced his retirement from football. He was offered a coaching role with the MK Dons Academy but chose to return to France to set up a Cognac production company with his brother at Gimeux in southern France.

paragraph: Roger Crab

paragraph: Roger Crab (1621 – 11 September 1680) was an English soldier, haberdasher, herbal doctor and writer who is best known for his ascetic lifestyle which included Christian vegetarianism. Crab fought in the Parliamentary Army in the English Civil War before becoming a haberdasher in Chesham. He later became a hermit and worked as a herbal doctor. He then joined the Philadelphians and began promoting asceticism through his writings.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Crab was born in Buckinghamshire in 1621. At the time of his birth his mother had an annual income of £20. As a young man, he began trying to find a way to live a perfect life. In 1641 he ceased eating meat, dairy and eggs. He also chose to be celibate.

paragraph: At the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642, he joined the Parliamentary Army under Oliver Cromwell. During one battle he received a serious head wound from a sword. During his time as a soldier, he was at one point sentenced to death by Cromwell. He was later sentenced to two years in prison by Parliament. Christopher Hill has suggested that Crab was involved with the Levellers in the late 1640s and was imprisoned as a result.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After leaving the military Crab moved to Chesham. There he began working as a haberdasher. He continued this work between 1649 and 1652. In 1652 he moved to Ickenham and lived as a hermit. Believing that profit was sinful, he gave away almost all of his possessions before moving. He built up a practice as a herbal doctor, advising his patients to avoid meat and alcohol. He was a popular doctor among the village women. However, he was accused of witchcraft by a clergyman, possibly due to prophecies he issued. He attempted to live modestly, wearing homemade sackcloth clothes. He moved to Bethnal Green in 1657. There he joined the Philadelphians, a group founded by John Pordage.

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: He was an anti-sabbatarian. He did not observe Sunday as a non-working day, and was put in the stocks for it. He was a pacifist, and had radical views on the evils of property, the Church and universities.

paragraph: Crab ate a vegan diet from 1641 until his death in 1680. He initially included potatoes and carrots in his diet, but later gave them up in favour of a diet of mostly bran and turnips. Later in his life he ate only Rumex and grass, claiming to spend of 3/4 d. per week on food. Late in his life he added parsnips to his diet.

paragraph: He might be the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's The Mad Hatter.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Crab wrote his autobiography while living in Ickenham.,

paragraph: BULLET::::- The English hermite, or, Wonder of this age.: Being a relation of the life of Roger Crab, living neer Uxbridg, taken from his own mouth, shewing his strange reserved and unparallel'd kind of life, who counteth it a sin against his body and soule to eate any sort of flesh, fish, or living creature, or to drinke any wine, ale, or beere. He can live with three farthings a week. His constant food is roots and hearbs, as cabbage, turneps, carrets, dock-leaves, and grasse; also bread and bran, without butter or cheese: his cloathing is sack-cloath.

paragraph: Birka female Viking warrior

paragraph: The Birka female Viking warrior was a woman buried with the accoutrements of an elite professional Viking warrior in a 10th century chamber-grave in Birka, Sweden. Thought to be a male warrior since the grave's excavation in 1889, the remains have been proved to be female by both osteological analysis and a DNA study in 2017. The study concludes the artifacts buried with the woman are evidence she was a high-ranking professional warrior. That conclusion has been disputed as premature by some archaeologists and historians who say the artifacts are not evidence that women were warriors in patriarchal Viking culture. This controversy has contributed to the debate about the gender roles performed by women in Viking society.

paragraph: Section::::Archaeological records.

paragraph: Section::::Archaeological records.:Initial excavation.

paragraph: Archaeologist and ethnographer Hjalmar Stolpe (1841–1905) excavated a warrior's burial chamber in the 1870s, as part of his archaeological research at the Viking Age site Birka, on the island Björkö (literally: "Birch Island") in present-day Sweden. In 1889 he documented the grave as Bj 581. It has been considered "one of the most iconic graves from the Viking Age." The grave was marked by a large stone boulder and was found on an elevated terrace where it was in direct contact with the garrison. The grave chamber was made out of wood and it was 3.45m long and 1.75m wide. The body was found in a sitting position wearing garments of silk and silver thread decorations. The goods found in the grave included "a sword, an axe, a spear, armour-piercing arrows, a battle knife, two shields, and two horses, one mare and one stallion". For the next 128 years, the skeleton was assumed to be that of a "battle hardened man". The warrior has been compared to "a figure from Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"".

paragraph: Section::::Archaeological records.:Reanalysis of skeletal remains.

paragraph: Studies in the 1970s had questioned the assumption the skeleton was male. A 2014 osteological analysis of the skeleton's pelvic bones and mandible by Stockholm University bioarchaeologist Anna Kjellström provided evidence that it was the grave of a woman. Some archaeologists were skeptical, citing the probability that the bones had been mis-labeled in the last century, or perhaps jumbled with bones from other nearby graves.

paragraph: A study led by Charlotte Hedenstierna-Jonson, published in September 2017, noted Kjellström's "osteological analysis triggered questions concerning sex, gender and identity among Viking warriors". Hedenstierna-Jonson's team extracted DNA from samples taken from a tooth and an arm bone of the person buried in Bj 581. According to Maja Krezwinska, the skeleton was conclusively proved to be that of a woman, having X-chromosomes, but no Y-chromosomes.

paragraph: The same study also analyzed Strontium isotopes on the skeleton, to determine the genetic profile of the individual. This determined that she has similar genetic markers with present-day people living in areas that were under the sphere of influence of the Vikings. This has brought forward the question of whether or not the individual was originally from Birka, or if she had settled there afterwards.

paragraph: Controversially, the conclusion of the study was that "the individual in grave Bj 581 is the first confirmed female high-ranking Viking warrior". The authors responded to the criticism of their original study in a second article published in "Antiquity", which provided additional information about their methodology and reaffirmed their conclusion.

paragraph: Section::::Archaeological records.:Analysis of grave artifacts.

paragraph: Analysis of the contents of the grave showed that it contained a game set with a board and pieces, thought to be evidence of her strategic thinking and indicating "that she was an officer who could lead troops into battle". "The Guardian" reported, "Gaming pieces – perhaps from hnefatafl, a sort of precursor to chess – suggest the female warrior from grave Bj 581 was a battle strategist." According to Kjellström, "Only a few warriors are buried with gaming pieces, and they signal strategic thinking." The evidence also points to her as a member of the military caste. "The Washington Post" reported, "The warrior was, in fact, female. And not just any female, but a Viking warrior woman, a shieldmaiden, like the ancient Brienne of Tarth from "Game of Thrones"." Archaeologist David Zori noted, "numerous Viking sagas, such as the 13th-century "Saga of the Volsungs", tell of 'shield-maidens' fighting alongside male warriors".

paragraph: Section::::Interpretations.

paragraph: Scholars have not agreed on the interpretation of complex Viking burial findings. Viking studies professor Judith Jesch rebutted the study's conclusion that the skeleton interred in Bj 581 was female, arguing that since the grave was excavated in 1889, bones from other graves may have been mixed together; that the inference that she was a warrior because of game pieces buried in the grave was premature speculation; and that the researchers had not considered other reasons that a female body ended up in a warrior's tomb.

paragraph: Authors of the Hedenstierna-Jonson paper noted that "Viking scholars have been reluctant to acknowledge the agency of women with weapons", and "At Birka, grave Bj 581 was brought forward as an example of an elaborate high-status male warrior grave." Additionally, they cited Marianne Moen's 2011 study that concluded, the "image of the male warrior in a patriarchal society was reinforced by research traditions and contemporary preconceptions".

paragraph: The Hedenstierna-Jonson team considered questions about the sex identification of the remains within the context of the martial objects buried with the bones, asserting that "the distribution of the grave goods within the grave, their spatial relation to the female individual and the total lack of any typically female attributed grave artefacts" disputed possibilities that the other artefacts belonged to the family of the deceased, or to a male "now missing" from the grave. In answer to the question, "Do weapons necessarily determine a warrior? ", the authors stress that interpreting the relevance of the artefacts buried with the body "...should be made in a similar manner regardless of the biological sex of the interred individual".

paragraph: After noting the androcentrism in archaeology and commenting on the questions some have interpreting the evidence for a female warrior, one observer wrote,

paragraph: The Hedenstierna-Jonson study concludes with the comment, "the combination of ancient genomics, isotope analyses and archaeology can contribute to the rewriting of our understanding of social organization concerning gender, mobility and occupation patterns in past societies." Swedish historian Dick Harrison of Lunds University noted, "What has happened in the past 40 years through archaeological research, partly fueled by feminist research, is that women have been found to be priestesses and leaders, too... This has forced us to rewrite history."

paragraph: The image of warrior women was not foreign to the Vikings. There are several examples of female depictions where they are seen wielding weapons.

paragraph: Section::::Female warriors in other Viking Age sources.:Mythology.

paragraph: In Norse mythology we find the depiction of a group of supernatural women warriors called the Valkyries. This group of women, mentioned in the Poetic Edda, act as guardians in Valhalla and allot death on the battlefield. They are rarely depicted in combat but wield spears.

paragraph: Shield-maidens are female warriors that take on male characteristics and attitudes, like dress and the wielding of weapons. They do this either because there is no male member of the family left, or they are escaping marriage.

paragraph: Section::::Female warriors in other Viking Age sources.:Iconography.

paragraph: The Oseberg tapestry depicts anthropomorphic figures in dress that resembles that of Viking Age women, holding spears and swords."

paragraph: A series of brooches found in Tissø, Denmark depict what are believed to be armed female figures on horseback."

paragraph: A three-dimensional figure found in Hårby, Denmark that depicts a Viking Age female figure holding a sword and shield. The public interpreted it as a depiction of a Valkyrie, but nowhere in Norse mythology are Valkyries described wielding swords (their weapon of choice being a spear). This raises questions of whether this figure could represent a human female warrior."

paragraph: Section::::Female warriors in other Viking Age sources.:Literature.

paragraph: Saxo Grammaticus, in his History of the Danes, portrayed warrior women dressed as men and wielding weapons."

paragraph: Saga literature has many examples of this as well. Freydís, in the Greenland saga, is manipulative and greedy. After cheating the people she was traveling with, Freydís proceeds to murder five women with an axe."

paragraph: The Laxdæla saga tells the story of Auðr, whose husband leaves her for another woman because she is always wearing men’s breeches. She decides to take her revenge and, dressed like a man, stabs him with a sword. The Laxdœla saga has the broadest range of female characters out of all the sagas, and probably had an intended female audience. It presented an alternative to the disenchanted lives that women were living given their limited role in society."

paragraph: Hervör, in the Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks, is Angantyr’s only child. From early on she shows more aptitude for weapons than traditional female tasks. She wields the family sword against her father’s wishes and goes on many masculine adventures. It isn't until she decides to settle down and have children that the male line of the family is restored, allowing her to put down the mantle of son that Angantyr never had.

paragraph: Barry Mann

paragraph: Barry Mann (born Barry Imberman; February 9, 1939) is an American songwriter, and part of a successful songwriting partnership with his wife, Cynthia Weil.

paragraph: He has written or co-written 53 hits in the UK and 98 in the US.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mann was born to a Jewish family on February 9, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York City.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: His first successful song as a writer was "She Say (Oom Dooby Doom)", a Top 20 chart-scoring song composed for the band the Diamonds in 1959. Mann co-wrote the song with Mike Anthony (Michael Logiudice). In 1961, Mann had his greatest success to that point with "I Love How You Love Me", written with Larry Kolber and a no. 5 scoring single for the band the Paris Sisters, (seven years later, Bobby Vinton's version would score in the Top 10). The same year, Mann himself reached the Top 40 as a performer with a novelty song co-written with Gerry Goffin, "Who Put the Bomp", which parodied the nonsense words of the then-popular doo-wop genre.

paragraph: Despite his success as a singer, Mann chose to channel his creativity into songwriting, forming a prolific partnership with Weil, a lyricist he met while both were staff songwriters at Don Kirshner and Al Nevin's company Aldon Music, whose offices were located in Manhattan near the famed composing-and-publishing factory the Brill Building. Mann and Weil, who married in 1961, developed some songs intended to be socially conscious, with successes such as "Uptown" by the Crystals, "We Gotta Get out of This Place" by the Animals, "Magic Town" by the Vogues, and "Kicks" by Paul Revere & the Raiders. (Mann and Weil were disturbed when "Only In America", a song they had written with the team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and conceived originally for and recorded by the Drifters as a protest against racial prejudice, was re-worked by Leiber and Stoller into an uncontroversial success for Jay & the Americans.)

paragraph: , Mann's song catalog lists 635 songs. He has received 56 popular music, country, and Rhythm&Blues awards from Broadcast Music Incorporated, and 46 Millionaire Awards for radio performances numbering more than one million plays. The song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", co-written with Weil and Phil Spector, was the most played song of the 20th century, with more than 14 million plays.

paragraph: Mann has composed songs for movies, most notably "Somewhere Out There", co-written with Weil and James Horner, for the 1986 animated movie "An American Tail". Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram performed the song as a duet during the movie's closing credits; their version was released as a single, which scored No. 2 on the Billboards charts and became a "gold"-scoring record. "Somewhere Out There" would win two 1987 Grammy Awards, as Song of the Year and Best Song Written for a Motion Picture or Television. "Somewhere Out There" was also nominated for a 1986 Oscar as best song, but lost to "Take My Breath Away" from "Top Gun" (a film that featured the Weil-penned "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" in a key scene). Mann's other movie work includes the scores for "I Never Sang for My Father" and "Muppet Treasure Island", and songs for "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and "Oliver & Company".

paragraph: Mann co-wrote, with Dan Hill, the song "Sometimes When We Touch," which scored No. 3 on the "Billboard" Hot 100.

paragraph: In 1987, Mann and Weil were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2011, they received the Johnny Mercer Award, the greatest honor from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Mann and Weil were named among the 2010 recipients of Ahmet Ertegun Award from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mann and Weil now operate a publishing company named Dyad Music.
