paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:1995-1999: Early life and career beginnings.

paragraph: Maliqi's singing talent was discovered at an early age by the renowned Albanian pianist "Nora Çashku" who was impressed with her singing of a song by Parashqevi Simaku and suggested to Maliqi's mother to enroll her at the music school.. The advice was taken, thus, Maliqi studied violin at the conservatoire for four consecutive years. At the age of nine, she joined the ‘’Cultural Children's Centre’’ in Tirana and participated in various festivals at home and abroad in which she progressed with great success. Later on, she began her guitar studies at Jordan Misja Artistic Lyceum, and then, at the age of thirteen, she made her debut at the Festivali i Këngës with the song "“Planeti i Fëmijëve”’" in a duet with Albanian tenor Aleksandër Rrapi. The following year, Maliqi began to study canto and graduated from the Lyceum. In 1997, aged fifteen, she returned to the festival with the song "“Flas Me Engjëllin Tim”", this time in a duet with Albanian tenor Kastriot Tusha. The song was dedicated to the Albanian Catholic Saint Mother Teresa and received wide acclaim nationwide. Maliqi’s professional career as a solo artist began in 1999 with the song "“Do Jetoj Edhe Pa Ty"“ which won the second place in the festival.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:2000-2005: Breakthrough.

That year, her collaboration with Albanian pop singer Tuna (singer) spawned the hit "“Forca e Femrës"“ which won the "Best Female Award" at Top Fest. The performance attracted much comment due to their antics on stage that were interpreted by many as a likely titillated lesbian act. Meanwhile, some tabloids instated Tuna as "protégée in Jonida’s same-sex erotica and polymorphous sexuality".. However, both artists denied the allegations about their lesbian relationship. In 2008, Maliqi returned with a new single "“Njëri Nga Ata"“ which entered "Kënga Magjike" and won the competition alongside the "Best Song" and the "10th Anniversary Award".

In 2013, she won "Jon Music Award" for "“Ti"“ and then was announced as a host of the first season of "The Voice Kids (Albanian TV series)" but withdrew, presumably due to other professional pursuits.. On the same year, Maliqi starred at the musical "Romeo and Juliet" as Juliet opposite Albanian Skënderaj. In 2014, she co-hosted the fourth season of "Dancing with the Stars" whereas in 2015 she released a new song called "“Jam Bërë Si Ti"“ which became a huge hit.

paragraph: Evans Kiprop Cheruiyot (born May 10, 1982 in Kapkoi village, Keiyo District) is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes in the marathon. He started out as a half marathon runner, taking wins in Rotterdam and Nairobi, and won his debut marathon race in Milan in 2007. He won the Chicago Marathon in 2008, running a personal best of 2:06:25 hours.

paragraph: Cheruiyot has also represented Kenya internationally and was the bronze medallist at the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: A mechanic by training, Cheruiyot is the seventh-born of a family of nine. After graduating from Kapkoi Primary School, in Rift Valley Province's Keiyo District, he took a mechanical engineering and driving course upon joining the National Youth Service (NYS). With the NYS, he started running. He began his competitive career in October 2004 with a third-place finish in a 10,000 metres race after completing his program in NYS. Four weeks later, he won his debut in the half marathon at the Standard Chartered Nairobi race with a time of 1:04:24. After competing in several cross-country competitions in France, he won his second half marathon race, the Humarathon, in April 2005.

paragraph: Gualfardo of Verona

paragraph: Saint Gualfardo of Verona (or Wolfhard of Augsburg) (1070–1127) was a Swabian artisan, trader, and hermit who lived around Verona. A hagiographical "vita" (biography) was composed, according to the Bollandists, within decades of his death, probably towards the end of the twelfth century. In the early sixteenth century he was venerated as the patron saint of the harnessmakers' guild at Verona.

paragraph: Gualfardo was born in Augsburg, the chief city of Swabia at the time. In 1096 he was on a pilgrimage—German "Wallfahrer" means pilgrim, whence his Italian name—from Augsburg "with some journeyman merchants", according to his "vita". He stopped in Verona, where he lived for a time with a journeyman, though he was a master harnessmaker by trade. Of this brief period his "vita" says: "In eodem vero loco beatissimus Gualfardus in sellarum exercitio (nam optimus sellator erat) parvo tempore moratus" (in that very place the most blessed Gualfardo worked on saddles [for the best saddler he was] but for a short time). He eventually settled in a dense forest on the Adige not far from Verona. There he lived for twenty years before he was found by hunters, who brought him back to Verona. He established a shop near the abbey of San Salvatore, but during a flood he left the city again and built a hermit's cell near the church of Santa Trinità in the countryside nearby. Until his death he was well sought after by the Veronese for his miracles. He does not seem to have been an especial aid to travelers, though his love of solitude did not interfere with his hospitality to city-dwellers, who also brought him food. He died at Curte-Regia near Verona in 1127.

paragraph: Jerry Fishman

paragraph: Jerry Fishman (born c. 1943) is an American former football player. He played college football for the Maryland Terrapins of the University of Maryland and was selected by the Baltimore Colts in the 1965 NFL Draft. Fishman gained notoriety when he twice gave an obscene gesture during the , which directly resulted in a 40-year hiatus of the series.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Fishman attended Norwalk High School in Norwalk, Connecticut, where he played football and baseball. In 1960, he became the then second all-time single-game rusher in the state of Connecticut when he rushed for 342 yards against Danbury.

paragraph: Fishman attended the University of Maryland where he played football primarily as a linebacker. He also served as a tailback, and in 1963 was the team's leading rusher with 480 yards on 116 carries. In 1964, he was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) first team as a guard.

paragraph: Fishman gained notoriety and is most known for his actions in the 1964 game against the Naval Academy, an intense in-state rival. Rough play marked the game, and Fishman responded on two occasions with an extended middle-finger to taunts from the stands, some of which Maryland receiver Darryl Hill described as anti-Semitic. Afterward, with respect to his rough play, Navy head coach Wayne Hardin called Fishman, "a disgrace to the game." Maryland head coach Tom Nugent conceded that Fishman may have been "a little wild-eyed," but added, "I can't chastise him publicly. I didn't see him do anything deliberate." Navy officials cited Fishman's use of the middle finger as the main reason for their refusal to renew the series for 40 years. Several times, University of Maryland officials asked Fishman to apologize for the gesture, but he refused and said, "What for? It's a game. It's a silly game. It's football, it's not a diplomatic blunder."

paragraph: Fishman was the only Jew on the team at the time, and became close friends with Darryl Hill after he transferred from Navy. Hill was the first black player on any ACC football team. Fishman said, "He being the only black and me being the only Jew, we used to call ourselves 'The Onlys.'" Shortly after Hill's arrival, Fishman cut a deal with Hill, offering to help him survive his redshirt season in exchange for tutoring in economics. Fishman was fiercely protective of his friend, Hill, who was the subject of mistreatment from the fans and opposing players. Against South Carolina, which had threatened a boycott of the game because of Hill's participation, Maryland led 13–0 at halftime. As the team walked to the locker room, a fan poured a drink onto Hill. Fishman responded by hitting the man with his helmet. At Wake Forest, Hill was knocked unconscious by a late hit, and Fishman applied the oxygen mask when the medics refused.

paragraph: Fishman was selected in the 14th round (196th overall) of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Colts. The Colts waived him during the preseason camp, and in 1965, he instead played for the Hartford Charter Oaks in the Continental Football League. In June 1966, he was signed by the Washington Redskins, but did not make the roster. Fishman is now retired from personal injury law and currently resides in Boca Raton, Florida.

paragraph: Ulrich II of Aquileia

paragraph: Ulrich II von Treven was Patriarch of Aquileia in northern Italy from 1161 to 1181. He supported Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor, (1122–1190) in his unsuccessful struggle for supremacy over the northern Italian states and the papacy. He was also involved in a dispute over jurisdiction with the Patriarch of Grado where he was ultimately successful.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Ulrich was the son of Count Wolfrad I von Treffen, ruler of the town of Treffen in Austria.

paragraph: His mother Hemma was the daughter of Margrave Starchand.

paragraph: Ulrich became Patriarch of Aquileia in 1161, succeeding Pellegrino di Ortenbourg.

paragraph: Section::::Dispute with Grado.

paragraph: The metropolitan sees of Aquileia and Grado had long been rivals. Their dispute dated to the invasion of the Huns, when the Patriarch of Aquileia took refuge in Grado. He brought the relics of two saints that Saint Mark the Evangelist had baptized.

paragraph: Grado claimed this showed that ecclesiastical authority had been transferred to the "new Aquileia".

paragraph: In 1024 Poppo of Treffen, patriarch of Aquileia, used force to subjugate Grado at a time when the Patriarch Ursus of Grado and the doge Otto Orseolo of Venice were in exile. He reclaimed the relics of saints Hermagoras and Fortunatus.

paragraph: Three years later Pope John XIX declared that Grado was just a parish of Aquileia, which was metropolitan of all Venice.

paragraph: However, in 1044 Pope Benedict IX recognized the Patriarch Ursus of Grado as head of the New Aquileia, demoting the prelate of Aquileia to bishop of Friuli.

paragraph: In 1053 Pope Leo IX recognized Grado as metropolitan of all of Venetia and Istria.

paragraph: In 1155 Pope Adrian IV granted the patriarch of Grado jurisdiction over parts of the coast of Dalmatia, causing renewed tension.

paragraph: Frederick Barbarossa, the Holy Roman Emperor, aimed to bring northern Italy into his domains. Barbarossa entered Italy with his armies in 1154, and in 1161 established control of the mainland around Venice.

paragraph: In 1162, while Venice was involved in a war with Padua and Ferrara, Patriarch Ulrich of Aquileia attacked Grado.

paragraph: Ulrich led forces from the region of Friuli into Grado, which he declared to be a precinct of Aquileia.

paragraph: Enrico Dandolo, the Patriarch of Grado, was forced to flee to Venice.

paragraph: Ulrich's move was clearly part of a campaign to bring Venice under German subjugation.

paragraph: The doge Vitale II Michiel responded forcibly.

paragraph: He sent a powerful fleet to Grado, which he surrounded and captured.

paragraph: He took Ulrich prisoner and destroyed several of his castles in Friuli.

paragraph: He brought Ulrich and twelve of his canons back to Venice, with seven hundred captives.

paragraph: Eventually Pope Alexander III intervened to make a peace. The patriarch and the twelve canons were released in exchange for payment of an annual tribute of a bull, twelve pigs and 300 loaves of bread. The animals would be slaughtered in a public ceremony to commemorate the victory.

paragraph: This ceremony persisted as an element of the Venetian carnival for hundreds of years.

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: Ulrich II continued to support the rival popes of the emperor until late in the 1160s, when he transferred his allegiance to Alexander III.

paragraph: On 29 May 1176 Frederick Barbarossa was defeated at the Battle of Legnano.

paragraph: On 24 July 1177 Sebastiano Ziani, the doge of Venice, and Ulrich II von Treven escorted the emperor from San Nicolò al Lido into Venice, where he met the pope and was reconciled in an emotional public scene in front of St Mark's Basilica.

paragraph: The Treaty of Venice, ratified on 1 August 1177, temporarily resolved the differences between the emperor, the papacy and the north Italian city-states of the Lombard League.

paragraph: The emperor formally acknowledged Pope Alexander III as pope.

paragraph: Ulrich II, as a confidant of both the pope and the emperor, had been instrumental in reconciling the two and healing the division in the church.

paragraph: For this, Frederick confirmed and extended the secular jurisdiction of the patriarchate of Aquileia.

paragraph: In 1177 Alexander III confirmed that Aquileia had metropolitan authority with jurisdiction over sixteen bishoprics.

paragraph: On 24 July 1180 Patriarch Dandolo of Grado agreed to a final and formal resolution of the ancient disputes with the patriarchate of Aquileia.

paragraph: In the presence of Alexander III and Ulrich II of Aquileia, Dandolo renounced his claims to the disputed dioceses in Istria and to the relics and treasures that Poppo of Aquileia had taken from Grado at the start of the 11th century.

paragraph: Despite this concession, Venice soon had effective control of church matters in Aquileia.

paragraph: The patriarch of Aquileia lived in Venice and the see passed under Venetian control.

paragraph: Ulrich died in 1181. He was succeeded by the Patriarch Goffredo di Hohenstaufen.

paragraph: Valdemar I of Denmark

paragraph: Valdemar I of Denmark (14 January 1131 – 12 May 1182), also known as Valdemar the Great (), was King of Denmark from 1146 until his death in 1182. The reign of King Valdemar I saw the rise of Denmark, which reached its zenith under his second son, and successor, King Valdemar II of Denmark.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was the son of Canute Lavard, Duke of Schleswig, a chivalrous and popular Danish prince, who was the eldest son of King Eric I of Denmark. Valdemar's father was murdered by Magnus the Strong, days before the birth of Valdemar; his mother, Ingeborg of Kiev, daughter of Grand Prince Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden, named him after her grandfather, Vladimir Monomakh, Grand Prince of Kiev.

paragraph: As an heir to the throne, and with his rivals quickly gaining power, he was raised at Ringsted in the court of Danish nobleman Asser Rig of Fjenneslev (ca. 1080-1151). Asser was a member of the Hvide noble family and had been raised together with Valdemar's father Canute Lavard.

paragraph: Valdemar was raised together with Asser's sons, including Absalon (c. 1128–1201) who would become his trusted friend and minister and who would serve as Bishop of the Diocese of Roskilde from 1158-92 and Archbishop of Lund from 1178 until his death.

paragraph: In 1146, when Valdemar was fifteen years old, King Eric III of Denmark abdicated and a civil war erupted. The pretenders to the throne were: Sweyn III Grathe, son of King Eric II of Denmark, the son of King Eric I; and Canute V, son of Magnus the Strong, the son of King Niels of Denmark, brother of King Erik I. Valdemar himself held Jutland, at least Schleswig, as his possession. The civil war lasted the better part of ten years.

paragraph: In 1157, the three agreed to divide the country in three among themselves. Sweyn hosted a great banquet for Canute, Absalon, and Valdemar, during which he planned to dispose of all of them. Canute was killed, but Absalon and Valdemar escaped. Valdemar returned to Jutland. Sweyn quickly launched an invasion, only to be defeated by Valdemar in the Battle of Grathe Heath on 23 October 1157. He was killed during flight, supposedly by a group of peasants who stumbled upon him as he was fleeing from the battlefield. Valdemar, having outlived all his rival pretenders, became the sole King of Denmark.

paragraph: In 1158, Absalon was elected Bishop of Roskilde, and King Valdemar I made him his chief friend and advisor. The King reorganized and rebuilt war-torn Denmark. He built Sønderborg Castle as a fortified fortress, constructed on an islet in the Als Strait ("Als Sund") that later was connected to Als Island.

paragraph: At Absalon's instigation, he declared war upon the Wends who were raiding the Danish coasts. They inhabited Pomerania and the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea. In 1168, the Wendish capital, Arkona, was taken, and the Wends became Christians and subject to Danish suzerainty. Danish influence had reached into Pomerania. In 1175, King Valdemar I built Vordingborg Castle as a defensive fortress and as a base from which to launch raids against the German coast.

paragraph: Section::::Issue.

paragraph: Valdemar married Sophia of Minsk (c. 1141–1198), the daughter of Richeza of Poland, Dowager Queen of Sweden, from her marriage to Volodar of Minsk (Vladimir or Volodar Glebovich of the Rurikids, died 1167), ruling Prince of Minsk. She was the half-sister of King Canute V of Denmark. Valdemar and Sophia had the following children:

paragraph: José Rijo

paragraph: José Antonio Rijo Abreu (born May 13, 1965) is a Dominican former pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) who spent the majority of his career with the Cincinnati Reds (1988–1995 and 2001–2002). Originally signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent in 1980, Rijo made his MLB debut with them in 1984, and also played in MLB for the Oakland Athletics. He pitched and batted right-handed, stood tall, and weighed during his playing career.

paragraph: The most notable success of Rijo's career came as a member of the Reds, where each year as a starting pitcher from 1988−1993, he posted an earned run average (ERA) below 3.00. He won a World Series title in 1990 and that event's Most Valuable Player Award (MVP). In 1993, he was the National League (NL) leader in strikeouts and Wins Above Replacement (WAR) at 10.6. He was named to the All-Star Game in 1994.

paragraph: Elbow injuries sidelined Rijo for most of the 1995 season, and from 1996−2000, prevented him from appearing in the major leagues in spite of all his efforts. In 2001, he returned to the major leagues as a relief pitcher with the Reds. By doing so, he became the first player to appear in a game after receiving a Baseball Hall of Fame vote since Minnie Miñoso in 1976. As a result, Rijo was the Tony Conigliaro Award winner in 2002. He again retired after that season, and was elected to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 2005.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Plagued by injuries during his career, he left the major leagues at age 30 before returning six years later for one and a half seasons. Rijo is perhaps best known for his performance in the 1990 World Series, when he recorded two victories in a four-game sweep over the defending champion Oakland A's, including a two-hitter in the final Game Four. Rijo's performance earned him the World Series MVP Award as the Reds won their first championship in fourteen years.

paragraph: When Rijo broke into the majors with the New York Yankees in 1984, he was 18 years old and the youngest player in either league. The previous year, he'd had a 15–5 record in the Florida League with a 1.68 ERA. But he did not have a good rookie season, and some observers (notably ESPN) commented that Yankee owner George Steinbrenner had orchestrated the call-up, hoping to create a phenom along the lines of the crosstown Mets' 1984 rookie sensation Dwight Gooden. When this did not happen, Rijo was sent to the Oakland A's as part of a trade package for Rickey Henderson.

paragraph: While with the Oakland Athletics, he struck out 16 Seattle Mariners on April 16, 1986, setting a club record. In his next start, he struck out 14 in a 2-hitter against the same Mariners organization, despite losing the game. But his time in Oakland was otherwise largely nondescript, with just 17 wins in three seasons. Even so, Rijo was still considered enough of a prospect for the Reds to acquire him in exchange for aging slugger Dave Parker, who'd had 338 runs batted in over the previous three seasons.

paragraph: Rijo's age eventually caught up to his talent. He was a member of the National League All-Star Team in 1994. Rijo also led the league in 1993 and 1994 in games started. He led the NL in 1993 in strikeouts and strikeouts per nine innings, and in 1991 he led the NL in winning percentage.

paragraph: Rijo was 3–0 in the 1990 postseason, including two World Series wins against Oakland, the team that had traded him away three years before. After winning Game One by a 7–0 score, he shut down the A's on two hits in Game Four (both in the first inning), ending the Series with a 0.59 earned run average and 15 strikeouts in innings. It was the only postseason experience of his entire career.

paragraph: Rijo pitched a one-hitter against the Colorado Rockies in 1993. The year after his All-Star season (1995), Rijo was sidelined with a serious elbow injury. Despite several comeback attempts, his elbow troubles kept him out of baseball for five full years. Rijo made an unexpected comeback to the game in 2001, returning to Cincinnati as a reliever. In doing so, Rijo became the first major league player to appear in a game after having received a Baseball Hall of Fame vote since Minnie Miñoso (who received six Hall of Fame votes in 1969) appeared for the Chicago White Sox in 1976 and 1980. In 2008, Rijo was again on the Hall of Fame ballot; he received no votes.

paragraph: In 2002, his final season, Rijo received the Tony Conigliaro Award. He made a handful of starts that year, including a win in his first start since 1995, and the last game at Riverfront Stadium. Rijo was on the 2003 Reds roster, but he suffered an elbow injury causing him to miss the entire season, and retired soon thereafter.

paragraph: Section::::Life after retirement.

paragraph: Rijo used to work as a special assistant to general manager Jim Bowden of the Washington Nationals baseball team. Starting in February 2009, he took a leave of absence from his position after it was discovered that one of Rijo's scouting finds, shortstop Esmailyn Gonzalez, was actually named Carlos David Alvarez Lugo and was four years older than the Nationals believed when they signed him. On February 25, Rijo was dismissed from the Nationals' organization and his Dominican baseball academy closed down. In 2013, the Nationals filed suit against an insurance company to recoup $1 million of the signing bonus; Lugo had testified that "he kicked back $300,000 of his bonus to Jose Rijo" (in January 2011 Rijo had denied receiving any money).

paragraph: In December 2011, the Dominican Republic's Anti-Money Laundering sought to question Rijo in relation to his business dealings with Matías "Daniel" Avelino Castro, a drug trafficker who was alleged to be the mastermind of the murder of journalist José Agustín Silvestre de los Santos. In July 2012, he was charged with money laundering; according to a prosecutor, "about 80 percent of the assets of fugitive drug suspect Avelino Castro were in Rijo's name", including two hotels. Prosecutors did not issue an arrest warrant, but asked a court to order Rijo to stay in the country. A hotel Rijo claimed he owned, formerly owned by Castro, had tested positive for cocaine.

paragraph: Rijo was once married to Juan Marichal's daughter, Rosie.

paragraph: Rijo had a supporting role in the 2008 baseball film "Sugar".

paragraph: Rijo became eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001. 75% of the vote was necessary for induction, and 5% was necessary to stay on the ballot. He received 0.2% of the vote, and was dropped off the BBWAA ballot. He again became eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2008 since he played in 2001 after a six-year hiatus. He received zero votes and fell off the ballot.

paragraph: Sæbbi of Essex

paragraph: Sæbbi (also known as Saint Sebbi or Sebba) was son of Sexred and was the joint King of Essex from 664 to about 683 along with his cousin, Sighere. After Sighere died, Sæbbi became sole ruler of Essex until 694.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Sighere and Sæbbi were cousins of their predecessor, Swithelm. In 665 Sighere apostatized and fell back into paganism, while Sebbi remained a faithful Christian. They soon developed a rivalry. Sighere found an ally in Wessex, and Sæbbi in Mercia. As a result of their rivalry, King Wulfhere of Mercia established himself as overlord of Essex in 665. He despatched Jaruman, the Bishop of Mercia, who was assigned to reconvert the people of Essex to Christianity.

paragraph: In 686, Cædwalla, a Wessex sub-king, established himself as overlord of Essex. He and Sæbbi invaded Kent, expelling King Eadric, and Sæbbi ruled over West Kent. It was presumably at the time that Sæbbi founded the original abbey at Westminster.

paragraph: Sæbbi is believed to have abdicated in 694 in order to enter a monastery, and was succeeded by his sons, Sigeheard and Swaefred, who ruled jointly over Essex. Another son, Swæfheard, would rule Kingdom of Kent. Sæbbi died in 695 and was buried in Old St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London where he was revered as a saint. He is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on Aug. 29. Bede recounts the burial thus (4.11):

paragraph: Sæbbi's tomb survived the 1087 fire at St Paul's and his remains were transferred to a black marble sarcophagus in the mid 12th century. This sarcophagus was recorded in a series of drawings by Wenceslaus Hollar, published in Dugdale's "History of St Paul's". The tomb was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. A plaque to Sæbbi was erected in the Wren cathedral.

paragraph: Charlotte Niese

paragraph: Charlotte Niese (7 June 1854 – 8 December 1935) was a German writer, poet and teacher.

paragraph: Niese was born in Burg on the island of Fehmarn, then under the direct rule of King Frederick VII of Denmark. Her father was the local pastor who later became director of a seminary in Eckernförde. Her mother was Benedicte Marie Niese (born Matthiesen). Charlotte Niese passed her exams as a teacher in Eckernförde, and she became a tutor in what was, since 1866, the Prussian Province of Schleswig-Holstein, in the Rhine Province, and as a boarding school teacher in Montreux.

paragraph: Niese went with her mother, then a widow, to Plön and began publishing her writings, at first under the masculine pseudonym "Lucian Bürger".

paragraph: In 1884, Niese settled in the city of Altona, where her mother used to live, and in 1888 she moved to Ottensen, which in 1889 became a part of Altona. She no longer needed to work as a teacher, as she had become one of the best known Holstein regional writers.

paragraph: In her work, Niese campaigned not only for the improvement of educational and employment opportunities for women, but also managed the local section of the North German Women's Organisation in Altona. As a child she had seen that her six brothers, one of whom was the Classical scholar Benedikt Niese, were all allowed higher education and professional careers, while her father refused these to herself or her sister. She herself wrote only within the socially accepted boundaries of women's writing of her day, her socially conservative views preventing her from more radical action. The closest she got to political activity was signing a letter of protest against the construction of a tramway line, along the street where she lived, in 1904.

paragraph: Niese died in her home in 1935 and was buried in the nearby Altona-Ottensen cemetery.

paragraph: Louis Henry (1911 – 1991) was a French historian. He was the founder of the historical demography and one-place study fields. His 1956 book co-written with , "Des registres paroissiaux à l'histoire de la population. Manuel de dépouillement et d'exploitation de l'état civil ancien" laid the foundation for studies in those areas.

paragraph: Henry proposed that it was possible to reconstruct the population of France from 1670 to 1829. He devised more advanced methods and extracted data from records in order to correct bias and indicate which family histories could be used for different kinds of statistical analyses.

paragraph: Henry is also responsible for the concept of natural fertility, which guided the way demographers have come to understand the idea of fertility control.

paragraph: Peter Barton (historian)

paragraph: Peter Arthur Barton (born 28 March 1955) is a British military historian, author and filmmaker specialising in trench warfare during World War I. He has published extensively on military mining and aspects of battlefield archaeology on the Western Front, and led archaeological excavations that have been featured in several "Time Team" episodes. His work has led to the rediscovery of many underground tunnels, wartime panoramas and mass graves of soldiers.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 2005, Barton published "Beneath Flanders Fields", a history of the British tunnellers fighting in the Ypres Salient from 1914 to 1918, for which he collaborated with Peter Doyle and Johan Vandewalle. Between 2006 and 2011, Barton rediscovered and published several panoramic perspectives of the Western Front which allow readers to view the battlefields from the Belgian coast to the British lines at the Somme.

paragraph: With his colleagues Simon Jones and Jeremy Banning, he has been involved in several large-scale archaeological projects on the former Western Front, including the successful dig at Zonnebeke near Ypres in January 2008 that rediscovered the Vampire dugout and the successful dig in May 2010 at Mametz on the Somme for surviving pieces of a Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector. The Zonnebeke excavation was shown on UK television as "The Lost WWI Bunker" ("Time Team" "Special" 33, first aired on 10 November 2008), while the Mametz excavation was shown on UK television as "The Somme's Secret Weapon" ("Time Team Special" 42, first aired on 14 April 2011). A version of the latter documentary, entitled "Breathing Fire" was broadcast internationally in autumn 2011.

paragraph: Barton designed the "Tunnellers Memorial" at Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée, unveiled on 19 June 2010, to commemorate the action on 26 June 1916 for which William Hackett of 254th Tunnelling Company was awarded the Victoria Cross. The memorial stands at the site of the Shaftesbury Shaft and the Red Dragon Crater. Its dimensions, high and wide, mirror the standard interior proportions of mine galleries constructed by the tunnelling companies in the Flanders clays.

paragraph: Working with the Red Cross' records at their headquarters in Geneva, Barton has examined records that have lain virtually untouched since 1918, and estimates that there could be 20 million sets of details, carefully entered on card indexes, or written into ledgers. Barton has also worked alongside Glasgow University Archaeology Research Division to locate and explore mass graves at the Pheasant Wood site at Fromelles. The Australian Government commissioned him to carry out research into the identities of the casualties discovered.

paragraph: Since 2011, Barton, Jones and Banning have been involved with the "La Boisselle Project" of the La Boisselle Study Group, a long-term archaeological, historical, technological and genealogical study of a site at Ovillers-la-Boisselle in the Somme department in Picardie in northern France. The area (known in World War I as "Îlot de La Boisselle" to the French, as "Granathof" to the Germans and as "Glory Hole" to the British) still holds mine craters as well as traces of trenches, shelters and tunnels related to underground warfare in this former sector of the front line. Barton also wrote, produced and presented a television documentary on the archaeology of the World War I tunnels beneath La Boisselle, which was shown on UK television as "The Somme: Secret Tunnel Wars" (BBC Four, first aired on 20 May 2013).

paragraph: Barton also acts as co-secretary of the All Party Parliamentary War Graves and Battlefields Heritage Group. The group consists of members from both Houses of Parliament and exists to support the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, to further educational programmes aimed at increasing knowledge of war heritage and battlefield sites, to support campaigners seeking to conserve and promote heritage sites, and to encourage best practice in multi-disciplinary battlefield archaeology.

paragraph: During the second race one of the marks was drifting and the race was abandoned. Since the organizers did not have the time to re-sail the race that week the two remaining races were rescheduled for September 3 of that year. Since both contenders were Dutch, the organizers requested the Dutch Olympic Committee to organize the race in The Netherlands.

paragraph: With his son Johan Hin as crew Hin won the first race. His son Frans Hin crewed the remaining races in The Netherlands on the Buiten IJ, in front of Durgerdam near Amsterdam. Hin took the gold over the combined series with his boat "Beatrijs III".

paragraph: Mutnedjmet

paragraph: Mutnedjmet "(Mutnedjemet, Mutnodjmet, Mutnodjemet)" an Ancient Egyptian queen, the Great Royal Wife of Horemheb, the last ruler of the 18th Dynasty. The name, Mutnedjmet, translates as: "The sweet Mut."

paragraph: Section::::Titles.

paragraph: Mutnedjemet's titles include: Hereditary Princess ("iryt-p`t"), Great King’s Wife ("hmt-niswt-wrt"), Great of Praises ("wrt-hzwt"), Lady of Grace ("nbt-im3t"), Sweet of Love ("bnrt-mrwt"), Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt ("hnwt-Shm’w -mhw"), Songstress of Hathor ("hsyt-nt-hwt-hrw"), and Songstress of Amun ("Sm’yt-nt-imnw")

paragraph: Section::::Mutnedjmet as Nefertiti's Sister.

paragraph: Some Egyptologists have speculated that Mutnedjemet is identical to Nefertiti's sister Mutbenret. This identification was partially based on the fact that Mutbenret's name used to be read as Mutnedjmet. Other Egyptologist such as Geoffrey Martin note that there is no definite evidence to prove this assertion. Martin writes that:

paragraph: Section::::Monuments and Inscriptions.

paragraph: Mutnedjmet is known from several object and inscriptions:

paragraph: BULLET::::- A double statue of Horemheb and Mutnedjmet was found in Karnak, but is now in the Museo Egizio in Turin (1379). On Mutnedjmet's side of the throne she is depicted as a winged sphinx who adores her own cartouche. As Sphinx she is depicted wearing a flat topped crown topped with plant elements associated with the goddess Tefnut. The back of the statue records Horemheb's rise to power.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Horemheb and Mutnodjemet are depicted in the tomb of Roy (TT255) in Dra Abu el-Naga. The Royal couple are shown in an offering scene.

paragraph: BULLET::::- One of the colossal statues in Karnak (north side of the 10th pylon) was made for Horemheb and depicted Mutnedjmet. The statue was later usurped and reinscribed for Ramesses II and Nefertari.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mutnedjmet usurped several inscriptions of Ankhesenamun in Luxor.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Statues (fragments) and other items including alabaster fragments naming Mutnodjemet were found in Horemheb's Saqqara tomb. Some items bear funerary texts.

paragraph: Section::::Death and Burial.

paragraph: Mutnedjmet died soon after Year 13 of her husband's rule in her mid-40s based on a wine-jar docket found in a burial chamber of Horemheb tomb at Saqqara, in Memphis and a statue and other items of hers found here. The mummy was found in King Horemheb's unused Memphite tomb along with the mummy of a still-born, premature infant. She appears to have been buried in the Memphite tomb of Horemheb, alongside his first wife Amenia. Mutnedjmet's mummy shows she had given birth several times, but the last King of the 18th Dynasty did not have a living heir at the time of his demise. It has been suggested that she had a daughter who was simply not mentioned on any monuments. The presence of the infant along with Mutnedjmet in the tomb suggests that this queen died in childbirth. A canopic jar of the Queen is now located in the British Museum.

paragraph: It is possible that the tomb QV33 in the Valley of the Queens was originally built for her. The tomb is known as the tomb of an otherwise unknown Tanedjmet, but both cartouches with her name are damaged and the similar hieroglyphs for "ta" and "mut" allow for this interpretation.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The South African artist Winifred Brunton painted a portrait of this queen during the 1920s.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In Michelle Moran's novel, "Nefertiti: A Novel", Mutnedjmet is the principal character as the younger sister of Queen Nefertiti. She is also referenced in Moran's second novel, "The Heretic Queen", as the mother of the principal character, Princess and later Queen Nefertari.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mutnedjmet is one of two main characters in Kerry Greenwood's historical mystery, "Out of the Black Land" (2010)
