paragraph: Diego Gelmírez

paragraph: Diego Gelmírez or Xelmírez (Latin "Didacus Gelmirici") (ca 1069 – ca 1140) was the second bishop (from 1100) and first archbishop (from 1120) of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, modern Spain. He is a prominent figure in the history of Galicia and an important historiographer of the Iberia of his day. Diego involved himself in many quarrels, ecclesiastical and secular, which were recounted in the "Historia Compostelana", which covered his episcopacy from 1100 to 1139 and serves as a sort of "gesta" of the bishop's life.

paragraph: He was probably born at Catoira, where his father, Gelmiro or Xelmirio, was the custodian of the castle. He received an education at the court of Alfonso VI of Castile. In 1092, Raymond, count of Galicia, named him his notary and secretary and in 1093 he was the administrator of the Compostelan church. In 1094, Dalmatius was appointed the first bishop of Compostela. Dalmatius died the next year (1095) and the people of the see requested the king nominate Diego administrator again during the vacancy. In 1099, the pope authorised a new episcopal election and Diego was chosen the next year. He was anointed the second bishop of Compostela in 1101. During his tenure, he was given secular rule of the city by Alfonso and he strove to make Compostela a major pilgrimage destination, which he did. He increased the prestige of his see and the volume of pilgrims on the road to Compostela.

paragraph: In 1107 Pedro Fróilaz de Traba, the guardian of the heir, Alfonso Raimúndez, rebelled against Queen Urraca and her new husband, Alfonso the Battler. According to the "Historia", he was opposed by a "brotherhood" ("germanitas") led by the knight Arias Pérez and Diego Gelmírez, who had known each other since childhood. Diego Gelmírez had accepted the leadership of the brotherhood late in 1109 or early in 1110. In 1110 a truce between Pedro and the brotherhood was broken when the former took over the south Galician fortress of Castrelo de Miño and installed a garrison there under his wife Urraca and the young Alfonso. Arias promptly besieged it, and Pedro came to defend it. The besieged called on Diego to negotiate terms of surrender, which he did, but the brotherhood had grown suspicious of him and when a deal was struck Arias had Diego, Pedro, and Alfonso all arrested. In exchange for the castles of Oeste and , they were all soon released and Diego went over to the separatists. In 1111, Diego crowned Alfonso Raimúndez King of Galicia in opposition to Urraca and her husband.

paragraph: Late in 1113, when the royal court was in Galicia, Arias was inciting Urraca against Diego. Urraca deprived him of his secular authority at the request of the people, who agitated for communal rights, but she reinstated him in his temporal powers within a year and even exempted him from all military service to the crown and extended his charge over the whole diocese.

paragraph: In 1120, Pope Callixtus II elevated Diego and his see to archiepiscopal rank and appointed him papal legate to Spain. That same year, according to the "Historia", Urraca ordered the leading men ("principes") of Galicia, including Arias Pérez, to do homage ("hominium") to Diego Gelmírez as "their lord, their patron, their king and their prince, saving their fealty to the queen" and recognise his rule ("dominio"). In 1121, however, after Diego had renewed his alliance with the Pedro Fróilaz de Traba, his power appeared to threaten that of the queen. In the summer of 1121 she had Diego arrested at Castrelo in collaboration with Arias Pérez. Diego was imprisoned for a while, but the support of the people, which he had been cultivating, compelled his release. Sometime in 1121 Munio Peláez built an "adulterine" (i.e. illegal) castle on the river Iso near Compostela. The "Historia Compostelana" calls it a "den of robbers and bandits", and Diego managed to raze it to the ground soon after it was built.

paragraph: In the spring of 1126, shortly after Urraca's death and the accession of Alfonso, Arias led a rebellion in Galicia. Diego Gelmírez and Gómez Núñez of Toroño or perhaps Gutierre Vermúdez were charged "per litteras" ("by letter") with putting it down. Diego besieged Arias in Lobeiro and, with siege engines, in Tabeirós, forcing him to surrender. Diego's opinion of Arias was such that he said to him: "I fear, therefore, that if such that you are you leave this world, you will lose eternal life and incur the perpetual condemnation of your soul."

paragraph: Mike Leake

paragraph: Michael Raymond Leake (born November 12, 1987), is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Cincinnati Reds, San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, and Seattle Mariners.

paragraph: Leake played college baseball for the Arizona State Sun Devils of Arizona State University. The Reds selected Leake in the first round of the 2009 MLB draft. They promoted him to the major leagues at the start of the 2010 season, without having him pitch in the minor leagues, one of only 21 baseball players to go straight from the draft to the major league team that drafted them.

paragraph: Leake pitched for the Reds through 2015, at which point he was traded to the Giants. A free agent that offseason, he signed with the Cardinals. The Cardinals traded him to the Mariners in 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.:Personal life.

paragraph: Leake was born in San Diego, California, and grew up in Valley Center, California, the son of Chris and Sarah Leake. Both his brother and his father call him Mikey. Leake grew up as a Seattle Mariners fan and idolized Vladimir Guerrero and Nolan Ryan among others. He started playing baseball at age five by tagging along with his older brother everywhere, to the point that Ryan complained about Mike to his parents. Chris and Sarah Leake convinced Ryan to put up with Mike and teach him how to act both on and off the field.

paragraph: Leake is listed at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, in the Reds' media guide, but he himself admits that he is actually about 5-foot-10, 175 pounds.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.:High school.

paragraph: His freshman and sophomore years, Leake attended Valley Center High School, where he started on the varsity baseball team. Leake transferred to Fallbrook High School, where he lettered in baseball two years and was co-team captain for the baseball team his senior season. He graduated in 2006.

paragraph: During his junior year, Leake batted .431 with 10 home runs and 31 runs batted in (RBIs) while compiling a 9–3 win–loss record with a 1.87 earned run average (ERA). The next year, he batted .342 with eight home runs and went 11–1 with a 1.87 ERA. His pitching performances those years helped him win the Avocado League Pitcher of the Year award twice.

paragraph: Leake was a two-time All-Avocado League honoree; he was twice named to both the first and second teams. He was named the team MVP his sophomore year and was selected to the first team all-CIF his junior and senior years. He was on the first team all-state those two years as well. Additionally, Leake won the Avocado League's Cy Young Award twice, was selected to the first all-academic team twice, and earned the Fallbrook High School Principal's Award twice.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: After graduating from high school, Leake attended Arizona State University, where he majored in management.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2007.

paragraph: Leake began his season as the closer for Arizona State, but soon became a starter. Over the course of the year, Leake had a 13–2 record with a save and a 3.69 ERA in his 25 appearances, 13 of which were starts. His 13 wins, the third most in Arizona State history by a freshman, tied him with his teammate, Josh Satow, for the Pac-10 lead. Leake also set the Arizona State freshman record with 127 innings pitched and 94 strikeouts. Those were the sixth-most and ninth-most in the Pac-10 that year.

paragraph: He was named to the First Team All-Pac-10. "Collegiate Baseball Newspaper" named Leake a Third Team All-American and a First Team Freshman All-American. Additionally, Leake was named to the All-Houston College Classic tournament team and the All-Coca-Cola Classic Team. He was also voted the Most Outstanding Player of the Tempe Regional.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2008.

paragraph: Continuing where he left off at the end of his freshman year, Leake had an 11–3 record with a save and a 3.49 ERA in his 19 appearances, 16 of which were starts. Having totaled 24 career victories through this point in his collegiate career, Leake became one of only nine Sun Devils to reach 20 career wins. He also was one of only three Sun Devils to have done so by their sophomore year. He also batted .340 with 2 homers and 11 RBI in 47 at-bats while playing first base, second base, shortstop, left field, center field, and right field. He hit his first career home run against UCLA on May 4, 2008.

paragraph: Leake led the Pac-10 with 121.1 innings pitched and was named the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year. He was also named First Team All-Pac-10 and Second Team All-America by Baseball America and "Collegiate Baseball Newspaper". However, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named him Third Team All-America. Leake was also selected to the Second Team All-West Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association and was a semifinalist for the Roger Clemens Award, given to top NCAA Division I college baseball pitcher of the year. He was also selected to the All-Tempe Regional Team and the First Team Academic All-Pac-10. "ESPN The Magazine" made the sophomore an Academic All-District VII selection.

paragraph: That summer Leake played for the USA Collegiate National Team. The team won gold medals at the Haarlem Baseball Week in the Netherlands and the World University Baseball Championship in the Czech Republic. In those tournaments Leake appeared 8 times and had a 3–0 record with a 0.64 ERA. He also hit .236 with a homer and 8 RBI in 55 at-bats.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2009.

paragraph: During his junior year, Leake went 16–1 with a 1.71 ERA, 142 innings pitched, and 162 strikeouts, limiting batters to a .193 average, the second lowest in the Pac-10. He threw seven complete games, including back-to-back shutouts, and compiled 26 straight scoreless innings at one point. His 40 career wins tied him for the third most in school history by a three-year pitcher. Leake joined Eddie Bane as one of only two Arizona State pitchers to win 10 or more games for three straight seasons, and Raoul Torrez as one of only two to win three straight Pac-10 titles.

paragraph: For the second straight season Leake won the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year Award, becoming the first back-to-back winner and the fourth two-time winner of the award. Also for the second year, he was named First Team Academic Pac-10, Most Outstanding Player of the Tempe Regional, and Academic All-District VIII by ESPN The Magazine. He won the National Pitcher of the Week award twice and the Pac-10 pitcher of the Week four times. At the end of the season Leake was named National Player of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association and became a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the best amateur baseball player, the Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association to the national college baseball player of the year, and the National Pitcher of the Year award. He was also named the Academic All-American of the Year and was a unanimous First Team All-American.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Cincinnati Reds.:2010.

paragraph: Leake was drafted out of high school in 2006 by the Oakland Athletics in the seventh round (218th overall), but chose instead to attend college. The Cincinnati Reds re-drafted him eighth overall in the 2009 draft, which Leake accepted. He received a $2.3 million signing bonus and was signed to a $400,000 contract. He played for the Peoria Saguaros in the Arizona Fall League, winning the Arizona Fall League Rising Star Award.

paragraph: In 2010, Leake competed for the Reds' fifth starter spot and ultimately won a spot on the Reds' twenty-five man roster amid competition from veterans Mike Lincoln, Justin Lehr, and Micah Owings and young pitchers Travis Wood and Aroldis Chapman. Leake's contract was purchased on April 11, 2010. To make room for him, the Reds optioned Juan Francisco to the Louisville Bats, the Reds AAA minor league affiliate. They also designated Pedro Viola for assignment. Leake became the first player since Xavier Nady, when he was with the San Diego Padres in 2000, to go directly from the draft to the major leagues (and is the most recent to do so, as of 2018), and is the first starting pitcher to accomplish the feat since left-hander Jim Abbott of the California Angels in 1989. He also was the first Cincinnati Red to do so since the abolition of the Bonus Rule after the 1965 season (shortstop Bobby Henrich, pitcher Jay Hook, and catcher Don Pavletich, who did so in 1957, all were "Bonus Babies").

paragraph: Leake made his major league debut on April 11, 2010, in a 3–1 victory against the Chicago Cubs. On May 15, 2010, Leake earned his fourth career win. With a career record of 4–0 at that point, he became the first Reds rookie starting pitcher to open 4–0 since Pat Zachry and Santo Alcalá did so in 1976. Leake became the first rookie pitcher in Reds' history to remain undefeated after his 10th start by throwing six innings of shutout ball on May 30, 2010, against the Houston Astros.

paragraph: On June 5, 2010, against the Washington Nationals, Leake earned his fifth victory. With this win, Leake moved to 5–0 in his career and joined Santo Alcalá as the only rookies in Reds history to begin their careers with that record. Leake began to suffer from shoulder fatigue as the season progressed, and he was eventually put on the disabled list (DL). He came off the DL in mid-September and joined the Reds as part of expanded rosters, but never pitched. Leake did throw a bullpen session late in the month, but was determined to be not ready for pitching in the post season and effectively "shut down" once again. He did see action as a pinch-runner and pinch-hitter in the month after showing his hitting ability during the season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Cincinnati Reds.:2011.

paragraph: Entering spring training, Leake was considered the sixth man in the rotation, and faced starting the season in the minor leagues. However, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey both went on the DL, and Leake made the rotation out of spring. He won his first two decisions, posting a 5.40 ERA. Leake was optioned to triple-A for the first time in his career on May 14 to make room for reliever José Arredondo to come off the DL. Arredondo's rehab assignment had reached the maximum 30 days, he had pitched well, and was out of options. Leake was called back up on May 28 and started against the Braves, earning the win and pitching six innings of one-run ball.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Cincinnati Reds.:2012.

paragraph: On May 21, 2012, Leake hit the first home run of his career, off Mike Minor of the Atlanta Braves in the fourth inning of a game at Great American Ball Park. On June 29, 2012 Leake threw his first complete game against the San Francisco Giants in a 5-1 victory. Leake made his first postseason appearance in the 4th game of the

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Cincinnati Reds.:2015.

paragraph: Leake began the season as the Reds #2 starter. In 21 starts for the Reds, Leake went 9-5 with a 3.56 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:San Francisco Giants.:Rest of 2015.

paragraph: On July 30, 2015, Leake was traded to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for pitching prospect Keury Mella and minor league third baseman Adam Duvall. Leake was scratched from his second scheduled start with the Giants due to a strained hamstring. On August 22 he was activated from the 15-day disabled list.

paragraph: On September 13, in a 10-3 win over the San Diego Padres at AT&T Park, he pitched six-plus strong innings and hit his second home run of the season, picking up his first win in a Giants uniform.

paragraph: On December 22, 2015, Leake signed a five-year, $80 million contract ($16M/yr) with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was given jersey number 8, the same number he wore while playing for Arizona State.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:St. Louis Cardinals.:2016.

paragraph: He made his Cardinals debut on April 6 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, allowing four runs and seven hits in IP, resulting in being charged with the loss as Pittsburgh won, 5–1. He earned his first win a Cardinals uniform on May 10 against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in an 8–1 advantage. In consecutive starts against the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres on July 10 and 18, he struck out at least ten batters in consecutive games for the first time in his career, after previously having two total ten-strikeout games in 189 starts. Covering his previous innings, he had struck out 45 batters while walking three.

paragraph: Overall, Leake struggled in his first season as a Cardinal, posting an ERA of 4.69, his highest ERA of his career. He finished 9-12 in 30 starts. He had the lowest left on base percentage of all major league pitchers, stranding only 65.6% of base runners.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:St. Louis Cardinals.:2017.

paragraph: At the start of the season, Leake was 5-2 with a 1.91 ERA in 9 starts. From May 29 to August 26, Leake went 2-10. For the season with St. Louis, Leake finished 7-12 with a 4.21 ERA in 26 starts.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Seattle Mariners.:2017.

paragraph: On August 30, 2017, the Cardinals traded Leake and international signing bonus space to the Seattle Mariners for Rayder Ascanio. He made his Mariners debut on September 1 against the Oakland Athletics, allowing only two earned runs on eight hits and a walk over seven innings to pick up his first win as a Mariner. In five starts with the Mariners, he finished strong with a 3-1 record with 2.53 ERA, 27 strikeouts, and 2 walks in 32 innings pitched.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Seattle Mariners.:2018.

paragraph: Leake started 31 games for the Mariners, finishing with a record of 10-10 with a 4.36 ERA in innings. On May 4 against the Los Angeles Angels, Leake allowed Albert Pujols' 3,000th career hit. He had the fewest strikeouts per 9 innings in the major leagues (5.77), and he also led major league pitchers in highest contact percentage (84.8%) of batters against him. In addition, he led major league pitchers in percent of balls pulled against him (47.8%). Twelve batters reached base against him on an error, tops in the major leagues.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Seattle Mariners.:2019.

paragraph: On July 19, against the Angels, Leake took a perfect game through eight innings until allowing a leadoff hit by Luis Rengifo. He subsequently walked Kevan Smith, but got the next three batters out, held the shutout, and the Mariners won 10-0.

paragraph: Daniel Dorall

paragraph: Daniel Dorall (born 11 September 1979) is a Malaysian Australian sculptor who specialises in miniature works. He completed a Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Melbourne in 2005, having previously earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture with honours from the University of Malaya in 2002. He has recently completed a Master of Fine Art in sculpture at Monash University.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: His current art practice is informed by his fascination with the formal properties and possibilities of miniature maze-like constructions. Dorall’s interest lies in employing the maze as the conceptual medium of his artwork. The mazes represent a constructed space stripped of functional value, wherein minute human figures play out various narratives. The themes in his work are self-exploration, tragicomedy, social and urban issues, sexuality, religion, memory and nostalgia and mythical/historical enactments. The audience is free to interpret Dorall’s representations of human foibles on various levels.

paragraph: "The audience is a voyeur, spying on grief and predicting the fate of the trapped game, but powerless to intercede"

paragraph: Dorall’s work has strong links to the Surrealist tradition of representing scenarios from the unconscious: "His exquisite structures perform in the manner of our most puzzling dreams; they make perfect sense while also being completely irrational"

paragraph: Australian art critic Robert Nelson finds in Dorall’s work a nightmarish representation of the claustrophobic and stultifying nature of suburbia: "Most frighteningly, Dorall takes us to the very set-up of domestic life, where we package our existence in suburban blocks with … the circuitry of paths and borders, beds and lawns, all obsessively demarcating private spaces …. Dorall's little figures sit conversing in vast expanses of artificially enclosed greens, all alienated from the organic pulse of the city, insulated, modularised and upmarket.

paragraph: Writing for Dorall’s 2009 exhibition under the Bombay Saphire Arts Project, Simpang, Malaysia, curator Simon Soon remarks: "Dorall's mazes makes us aware of the possible choices we make in life. Within the maze construction, one encounters by peering in from above, like God's eye view, the dramatic cycle of human existence and its emotional range: loneliness, joy, fear, serenity, are mapped out within a physical geography that sets the stage for the ensuing encounters."

paragraph: The Inversion Theory

paragraph: Dorall’s most recent work involves inverting the traditional concept that architectural or scale models are seen as studies for human-scale buildings or final constructions. He aims to convince the viewer that the miniature object can be the final object. He has been exploring this concept by building full size walk-through mazes and placing the maze object within these mazes. The viewer is asked to walk through the installation maze and experience its journey. When they finally discover the maze object, they get a better understanding (through their recent experience) of the narratives involving the figurines in the maze objects.

paragraph: In a major solo exhibition "The Inversion Theory", held in 2011, Dorall explores the concept of using full size constructions and installations as studies for the miniature – on a grand scale. The exhibition consisted of a walkthrough cardboard installation maze, inviting the viewer to meander through its corridors finally arriving at the sculptural maze object. As the anthropomorphic maze installation is positioned as a precursor to the maze object, it acts as a study by allowing the viewer to experience first-hand the emotions and ambience of the construction. At the end of the journey, the viewer has a better understanding when viewing the figurines playing out the narrative within the maze object – in tragic, comedic or horrid detail. Thus the idea of a miniature or scale model as a study and the full size construction as the end product - is inverted. This is the basis of the inversion theory.

paragraph: BirdZerk!

paragraph: BirdZerk! is the performance name of Dominic Latkovski, a professional mascot and entertainer known for appearances at American minor league baseball games. He is most known for his skits that revolve around pranking players, umpires, bat boys, and managers and his acrobatic, synchronized dances with his sidekicks BirdZerk Jr., BabyZerk!, BallZerk!, and DogZerk!. In 2008, BirdZerk! was named as the top minor league baseball promotional act by CNBC sports business columnist Darren Rovell.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: BirdZerk! was created by brothers, Dominic and Brennan Latkovski in 1998. Dominic got his start in 1990 as Triple-A Louisville Redbirds mascot, Billy Bird. Over the course of the first two seasons, Dominic would have younger brother, Brennan, play the antagonist roles such as an umpire, for on-field skits. In 1992, the two brothers obtained a booth at the MLB Trade Show and marketed the Billy Bird act. After success in their first year, Dominic says, "[The Redbirds] wanted me to sign a contract giving them a big portion of the money in exchange for using the name and the costume, and that's when we decided to break free and create a new character." In came BirdZerk!, a neon green, yellow and purple bird based on the costume the brothers were accustomed to performing inside as their former act.

paragraph: Section::::History.:1992 MLB Trade Show.

paragraph: In 1991, the Louisville Redbirds were host to the Triple-A All-Star Game. Dominic and Brennan were able to showcase their Billybird act to the league's decision makers during the game. A year and a half later, Dominic and Brennan were able to obtain a booth at the 1992 MLB Trade Show after Dominic, age 21 at the time, parlayed a $6,000 profit from scalping Garth Brooks tickets. At the trade show, they marketed Billybird as the "New Bird on the Block" and began taking bookings. That first year, 48 shows were booked from teams all around the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This was in addition to the 72 home games Billybird appeared at that season.

paragraph: Walter Butler, 11th Earl of Ormond

paragraph: Walter Butler, 11th Earl of Ormond and 4th Earl of Ossory (155924 February 1632/3), was an Irish peer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was the son of John Butler of Kilcash (who was the son of the 9th Earl) and Katherine, the daughter of Cormac na Haoine MacCarthy Reagh. He inherited the earldom in 1614 because his uncle Thomas ("Black Tom" or "Thomás Dubh") had died without legitimate male issue.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He served in 1613 as a Member of the Irish House of Commons for Tipperary. Consistently a devout Catholic, he was known as "Walter of the Beads". His claim to the family estates was thwarted by King James I of England. The failure of Henry VIII of England's policy of maintaining a balance of power between the Butlers and Fitzgerald dynasty had been made apparent by the Battle of Affane. King James sought a different solution, by engineering the marriage of Black Tom's daughter and heiress, Elizabeth with one of his own Scottish favourites, Richard Preston. He made Preston Earl of Desmond and awarded most of the Ormond estates to Elizabeth instead of Walter.

paragraph: Butler spent much time and money in litigation in opposing the King's scheme. His persistence in refusing to resulted in him being committed to the Fleet prison in 1617. He remained incarcerated for eight years in great want with no rents reaching him from his estate. James meanwhile brought a writ of quo warranto against him for the county palatine of Tipperary, which had been vested in the head of the family for nearly four hundred years, and which could not therefore under any circumstances have belonged to his cousin Elizabeth, the wife of Richard Preston. No answer was made to the writ, if indeed an opportunity was afforded for answer, and James took the county palatine into his own hands.

paragraph: Earl Walter was set at liberty in 1625 and a large part of his estates restored to him. For some while he lived in a house in Drury Lane, London, with his grandson James, afterwards Duke of Ormonde. In 1629, on the projected marriage of his grandson and Elizabeth Preston, Charles I of England granted her marriage and the wardship of her lands to him by letters patent dated 8 Sept. After the marriage he was recognised, 9 Oct. 1630, as heir to the lands of his uncle, Earl Thomas, as well as of Sir John Butler his father.

paragraph: Walter also suffered problems within his own family. His son Thomas, Viscount Thurles, married the daughter of Sir John Poyntz of Gloucestershire against Walter's wish, and years later, he was accidentally drowned at The Skerries, Isle of Anglesey at the beginning of Walter's long imprisonment in the Fleet Prison. Viscount Thurles was a prominent Catholic and at the time of his death, was being sent to England on charges of having garrisoned Kilkenny.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: He died at Carrick-on-Suir on 24 Feb. 1632-3, and was buried in St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny on 18 June 1633.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and Children.

paragraph: He married his second cousin Hon. Helen Butler, (also known as Ellen) daughter of Edmund Butler, 2nd Viscount Mountgarret and Grizel FitzPatrick. Their common great-grandfather was Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond. They had twelve children:

paragraph: Sigard, Count of Hainaut

paragraph: Sigard (Sigehard) (died 920), was the Count of Hainaut and Count of Liège. Sigard was apparently second cousin to King Zwentibold, although the precise relationship is unknown.

paragraph: Sigard replaced Reginar I as Count of Hainaut in 898 after his removal as count by Zwentibold. Despite the death of his benefactor and relative Zwentibold in 900, Sigard appatently retained control of some portion of Hainaut through his death in 920.

paragraph: The transition from the House of Reginar to Sigard and back is confusing and remains unclear. Some accounts have Reginar I returning to power in 908, to be succeeded by his son Reginar II. Others identify a mysterious count named Hagano who ruled through 921. Still others identify Enguerrand II, son of an Enguerrand I, Count of Gent, Kortrijk and Tournai, as the count from 921-924.

paragraph: It is certain, however, that the county returned to the family of Reginar with the assumption as Count of Hainaut by Reginar II in 915. Any marriages or children of Sigard are unknown.

paragraph: Hans von Matt

paragraph: Hans von Matt (7 May 1899 - 8 November 1985) was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He was at the heart of an artists' network, known to some contemporaries as much for their fun-loving lifestyle as for serious artistic endeavour. He emerged as a writer on the arts and a "culture politician". He was born and lived in Central Switzerland.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Hans Caspar von Matt was born in Stans, the administrative capital of the Nidwalden, a small rural German-speaking canton on the south side of Lake Lucerne. His father, also called , was a book dealer and local magistrate who took up politics and became a CVP member of the Swiss parliament.

paragraph: After successful completion of his schooling, in 1918 Hans von Matt enrolled in the class of Joseph von Moos at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts on the far side of the lake. The next year he moved further afield, entering the in Geneva. Here he studied painting and sculpture under and James Vibert respectively. Von Matt was becoming an assiduous networker, and during his time in Geneva he made contact with Kurt Seligmann and Alberto Giacometti. During 1920 he undertook a lengthy study trip to Florence where he was much impressed by what he saw of the work of Sandro Botticelli. He was a student at the Munich Fine Arts Academy between 1921 and 1923. Later in the 1920s he attended several of the winter courses given in Paris by André Lhote.

paragraph: In 1924 he began establishing himself as an artist, and later also as a sculptor, in Stans, his hometown, where in 1927 he built his own studio. On 25 September 1935 Hans von Matt married the artist-model Annemarie Gunz in Stans. She was a prominent participant in the central Switzerland arts scene of the time, and sat as the model for several of Hans von Matt's better known paintings of women.

paragraph: Around 1939 Hans von Matt set out on a parallel career as a writer on themes such as folklore and local history. He also published a number of monographs on well known personalities from Central Switzerland. These included the artists Melchior Wyrsch and Heinrich Danioth, along with the sculptor Josef Maria Christen. Another was the Lucerne-based conservator and arts patron Paul Hilber.

paragraph: In 1927 he became a member of the Swiss Werkbund (artists' association). In 1937 he became a member of the Luzern Arts Society (""Kunstgesellschaft Luzern""), serving as its vice-president from 1958. He was a member of the between 1941 and 1953, and its vice-president between 1949 and 1953. He was a founder, and between 1944 and 1953 a member of the executive board with the Swiss Luke Society for Promoting Church Art (""Schweizerische Lukasgesellschaft zur Förderung der kirchlichen Kunst""). And between 1947 and 1974 he was a member of the Nidwalden canton Historical Society.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Hans von Matt's career as an artists began during his student years in Munich and Geneva. Initially he was drawn towards expressionism. Later in the 1920s, influenced by the cubist precepts of André Lhote in Paris and by , von Matt's styles acquired a more individualistic form, clear and compact. His figures of maidens and of saints display a gentleness of expression and softened body shapes. Human bodily forms up till 1961 also tend towards a slightly lengthened distorted shape.

paragraph: Commissions for contemporary religious sculpture provided many opportunities for church statuary and grave memorials across the northern part of Switzerland. As he grew older he increasingly favoured smaller bronze and terracotta figures. From 1961 he began to engage with the more abstract forms associated with Jean Arp, Henri Laurens and Henry Moore.

paragraph: Manase Dōsan

paragraph: Manase Dōsan (1507–1594) was a Japanese physician.

paragraph: Dōsan was born in Kyoto and initially trained to become a monk. However, in his early twenties he began studying medicine under Tashiro Sanki. He enrolled at the Ashikaga School of Medicine, and continued his studies for 17 years.

paragraph: He published a medical textbook, the "Keitekishu", in 1571, and worked as a doctor for many daimyō of the time. He was employed by the shōgun Ashikaga Yoshiteru and treated the Emperor Ōgimachi. The daimyō Dōsan treated included Mōri Motonari, whom Dōsan attended in 1566 during his siege of Toda Castle. When Monotari visited him the following year, Dōsan presented him with nine rules for health, known as the "Kyuki". These were:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Do not be lazy or negligent

paragraph: BULLET::::- Drink, live and eat modestly

paragraph: BULLET::::- Enjoy poetry and dancing in moderation

paragraph: BULLET::::- Rule virtuously

paragraph: BULLET::::- Be mindful of war, but do not love it

paragraph: BULLET::::- Listen to all viewpoints

paragraph: BULLET::::- Note the difference between the lax and the industrious

paragraph: BULLET::::- Court wise men and eschew extravagance

paragraph: BULLET::::- Moderation in rule is reflected by moderation in the ruled

paragraph: That same year, he also visited Matsunaga Hisahide, where he lectured on Chinese texts on sex and the nurturing of life.

paragraph: Dōsan taught over 3,000 students in what became known as "Dōsan-ryu" or the Dōsan School. He and his heirs (both natural and adopted) were instrumental in the spread of the "Goseihō" school of medical thought in Japan, which stemmed from Chinese systems of medicine.

paragraph: Petre Otskheli

paragraph: Petre Otskheli (; November 25, 1907 – December 2, 1937) was a Georgian modernist set and costume designer who designed in theatre in Georgia and briefly in Moscow. He was put to death during Joseph Stalin’s Great Purge at the age of 30, but his scenographic constructivism has had a lasting influence on the Georgian scenic design.

paragraph: Born in Kutaisi, Otskheli studied at the Kutaisi realschule and the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts in the 1920s. Through most of his career Otskheli had a creative relationship with the director Kote Marjanishvili who invited the young artist to his theatre in Kutaisi in 1928. Otskheli’s visual experiments and skillful use of stage for massive designs with a series of subtle elements earned him recognition, but he soon came under pressure from Stalin’s lieutenant in the Caucasus, Lavrentiy Beria. In 1936, Otskheli fled Beria’s persecution to Moscow where he was recruited by his fellow countryman Sergo Amaghlobeli, then the director of Moscow Maly Theatre. In 1937, both Otskheli and Amaghlobeli were arrested and shot on trumped-up charges of treason.

This was a serious crime without receiving special permission so, to save him from greater punishment, his father disinherited him and locked him in his room for three years. He spent this time studying and writing. It was there he conceived the idea for his "Nihon Gaishi" ("Unofficial History of Japan") and began composing the first chapters. Many years before, his father had been engaged in writing an official history, but permission had been suddenly withdrawn.

paragraph: In 1811, he moved to Kyoto, opened a school and continued to work on his history. He soon became part of a circle of writers and scholars that included and Ōshio Heihachirō and came under the influence of the Kokugaku movement. He was finally able to achieve financial independence and travelled throughout Japan, writing Kanshi poetry.

paragraph: One of the main influences of his life was Ema Saikō, a distinguished bunjin painter and composer of kanshi, whom he met in 1813 when visiting her father to further his reputation as a scholar. He was instantly captivated by Ema and expressed his desire for marriage after a few meetings. However, either by rejection of her father because of Ema's previous rejection of marriage or because Rai San'yō decided against asking for her hand, no such marriage took place. Rai San'yō soon married his 17-year-old maid Rie, whom he also taught to compose verse and paint. He did become Ema Saikō's kanshi tutor in 1813 and the two remained close until his death. Through correspondence, he would correct her verses and send her his own poems to practice calligraphy.

paragraph: In 1827, he completed the "Nihon Gaishi", his life work, It was modeled on the "Records of the Grand Historian" and was in 22 volumes, covering Japanese history from the emergence of the Minamoto clan through the reign of Tokugawa Iemitsu. It was the first comprehensive study of its kind. The work was dedicated to the "daimyō", Matsudaira Sadanobu, who praised it and presented it to the shogunate for approval. Despite winning that approval, it was later banned in several domains, possibly because it advocated strengthening the powers of the Emperor. It has been cited as a major influence on the "Sonnō jōi" movement.

paragraph: He was also the author of "Records of Japan's Government", in 16 volumes; "Morality and Duty", in 3 volumes; several books of verse and travel diaries. He was also an ink wash painter of modest reputation, associated with the Nanga School.

paragraph: In his later years, he suffered from tuberculosis and succumbed to the disease while working at his desk.
