paragraph: Bill Biggart

paragraph: William G. "Bill" Biggart (July 20, 1947 – September 11, 2001) was an American freelance photojournalist and a victim of the September 11 attacks, notable for his street-view photographs of the event before being killed by the collapse of the World Trade Center's North Tower. He was the only professional photographer to be killed while covering the attacks.

paragraph: On September 15, 2001, Biggart's remains were discovered along with a bag containing his three cameras and the CompactFlash card from which his last photographs were recovered. The photos were used in the October 15, 2001 issue of "Newsweek". His photographs from 9/11 were exhibited at the International Center of Photography and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. They have also been preserved on the Internet by "The Digital Journalist".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: As a child of an American officer stationed in Germany, Bill Biggart was born in Berlin in 1947. Biggart was one of 12 siblings in his Irish-Catholic family. As an adult, he moved into a loft in Lower Manhattan, New York City, about the same time that the WTC was opening in the 1970s.

paragraph: Biggart was married twice and had three children. He had one son from his first marriage. Biggart's second wife was Wendy Doremus, and they had two children.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Biggart began his career as a commercial photographer. While a commercial photographer, he began to pursue his interest in spot news photography and was at Wounded Knee to photograph the 1973 incident. As a commercial photographer, he would sometimes take jobs for theater productions. With a passion for news, he transitioned to photojournalism in 1985. His photojournalism credits are found in the international stories he covered in the West Bank and Israel in 1988, Northern Ireland, and the first Gulf War. He was also frequently credited for photographs that captured news events closer to his home in New York City, such as a NYC subway shot of "subway vigilante" Bernhard Goetz, Howard Beach, or the 1989 funeral of Yusuf Hawkins. He was also present in Berlin to photograph the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989.

paragraph: Biggart began working for the Impact Visuals photo news agency in 1988 and he continued to work there until he was killed. He also worked as a freelance photographer for Reuters, Agence France Press, and Sipa Press. His work appeared in "The New York Times", "Christian Science Monitor", "The Village Voice" and "The City Sun".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:On September 11, 2001.

paragraph: On the morning of September 11, 2001, a passing taxi driver alerted Biggart to the fact that a plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. A "news junkie", according to those who were close to him, Biggart ran to his apartment near Union Square, grabbed three cameras (two film, one digital) and began walking the two miles toward the center, where fire trucks were located, shooting photographs along the way, including digital, color film and slide images. He eventually found himself at the World Trade Center shooting the Twin Towers as they burned, and continued taking photos after the South Tower collapsed. His wife called Biggart on his cell phone shortly after the first tower's collapse. According to her, Biggart said he was with the firemen and safe, and he would meet her in 20 minutes.

paragraph: Another photographer, Bolivar Arellano of the "New York Post", observed that Biggart was photographing the second tower before it fell, and that Biggart was closer than any other photographer, and closer than Arellano felt was safe. Bill Biggart took his last photo at 10:28:24 am EST, about 20 minutes after his phone call with his wife. At 10:28 am, the North Tower collapsed. The falling debris from the tower killed Biggart. His last photograph was presented as a highlight of the 2002 exhibit at the National Museum of American History. In the days following the tower's collapse, Biggart was reported among the missing. His wife searched for him at news agencies and hospitals. Four days later, his remains and camera equipment were recovered from the tower debris.

paragraph: Biggart took over 300 photographs of the event, 154 of which Biggart's friend, photographer Chip East, was able to recover from Biggart's digital storage devices, and which have become part of the exhibits of Biggart's most well-known photographs.

paragraph: Bevan Sharpless

paragraph: Bevan Percival Sharpless (August 2, 1904 – October 28, 1950) was an American astronomer, best known for his 1944 discovery that the orbit of Phobos was decaying.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Sharpless was born to Ethel Mae Bevan and Albert Wayne Sharpless on August 2, 1904 in Chester Heights, Pennsylvania, the only child of the marriage. He attended Swarthmore High School then Swarthmore College, graduating in 1926 with an A.B. degree in mathematics. In 1923, he traveled with a group from the college to Yerbanis, Mexico to witness an eclipse of September 10, 1923, and again to New Haven, Connecticut to observe the solar eclipse of January 24, 1925. He married Ethel May Gamble (1904-2002) on September 10, 1927 in Glenolden, Pennsylvania.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: For two years after graduation, Sharpless worked as an actuary. He received a temporary appointment with the United States Naval Observatory on August 16, 1928; this became a permanent appointment as a junior astronomer on January 16, 1929. At the beginning of 1930, he was elected a member of the American Astronomical Society. He was a member of a USNO expedition to Niuafo'ou in the Tonga Islands to make observations of the solar eclipse of October 21, 1930.

paragraph: Section::::Phobos.

paragraph: In 1929, Harry Edward Burton, head of the Equatorial Division at the USNO, discovered anomalies in the orbital longitude of Phobos, the larger moon of Mars. In 1939, he and Sharpless began a systematic study of the orbital behavior of Phobos and Deimos. Sharpless's photographic observations with a 40-inch Ritchey-Chrétien reflector were inferior to Burton's visual observations with a 26-inch refractor (an instrument more suited for high-precision observations), but Sharpless was sooner ready to publish. Another USNO astronomer, Edgar W. Woolard, published on the same secular accelerations in 1944 (naming Sharpless as the inspiration), but his work was focused on numerical rather than observational analysis. Sharpless's 1945 paper "Secular accelerations in the longitudes of the satellites of Mars" drawing on observations from 1879 to 1941, was the first to compute these accelerations. They provided the first evidence that Phobos's orbit was decaying and would result in its destruction. Sharpless's paper also computed much smaller accelerations for Deimos.

paragraph: Sharpless's work was of little interest outside his field for a decade (though it did spark further work in planetary satellites), until Iosif Shklovsky began studying the cause of the decay in the late 1950s. Working off the hypothesis that the decay was caused by interactions with Mars's thin atmosphere, Shklovsky concluded that Phobos might be a hollow metal object as little as thick - an unambiguously artificial object. Though Shklovsky later claimed to Patrick Moore that the paper was nothing more than a practical joke, it was taken seriously by others including Carl Sagan and national science adviser Fred Singer, who commented:

paragraph: If the satellite is indeed spiraling inward as deduced from astronomical observation, then there is little alternative to the hypothesis that it is hollow and therefore Martian made. The big 'if' lies in the astronomical observations; they may well be in error. Since they are based on several independent sets of measurements taken decades apart by different observers with different instruments, systematic errors may have influenced them.

paragraph: Singer's speculations were correct; Sharpless's calculations were affected by differences between observations. Additionally, the orbital decay is caused not by atmospheric drag, but by solid body tidal forces not considered by Shklovsky. Nonetheless, Sharpless's work stands as the first useful calculation of Phobos's secular acceleration. (His calculations for Deimos, conversely, were deemed "barely significant" due to their high systematic error.) Both Sharpless and Shklovsky have craters on Phobos named in their honor.

paragraph: Section::::Later career and death.

paragraph: Sharpless published in 1946 on photographic observation of comets, work that was conducted in 1943.

paragraph: Suffering from emphysema, Sharpless retired from the Naval Observatory's Washington, D.C. office on January 1, 1949 and moved to its Florida office at Naval Air Station Richmond. Long in poor health, he died on October 28, 1950 in Atlanta, Georgia. He is buried in Cumberland Cemetery in Media, Pennsylvania.

paragraph: Şemsi Pasha

paragraph: Şemsi Ahmet Pasha also known as Chamsi-Pasha; (died 28 April 1580) was a prominent Ottoman nobleman and statesman of Albanian origin who occupied numerous high-ranking political posts, serving at different stages as the Ottoman governor of Damascus, Rûm, Sivas, Anatolia and Rumelia, and subsequently succeeding Sokollu Mehmet Pasha as grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire in 1579.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Paternally, he was a direct descendant of Khalid ibn al-Walid, the celebrated commander whose armies conquered Syria at the time of Muhammad in the 7th century. His mother was the granddaughter of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I, Ayşe Hümaşah Sultan.

paragraph: Raised in the Imperial residence of the period, Topkapı Palace, as Grand Vizier, he charged renowned court architect Mimar Sinan with the task of building a mosque and adjoining complex near his main seat, the Şemsi Pasha Palace on the Bosphorus shoreline in Constantinople. The Şemsi Pasha Mosque is one of the smallest mosques to be commissioned by a Grand Vizier, and yet it is one of the most well-known mosques in city, due to a combination of its miniature dimensions and its waterfront location. It is mentioned as a chief example of Mimar Sinan's skill in organically blending architecture with the natural landscape.

paragraph: During Şemsi Pasha's tenure as the "beylerbey" (governor-general) of Rumelia, it was reported that he left the capital for Sofia in 1565 with such pomp that the people of Constantinople who watched the spectacle of his lavishly clad retinue had never seen a "beylerbey" display such 'majesty and grandeur.'

paragraph: Carl Leopold Hollitzer (born in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, Lower Austria; died in Rekawinkel, Lower Austria, Austria) was an Austrian caricaturist, singer and cabaret artist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Hollitzer was born and raised in Deutsch-Altenburg. His family had a construction business. His father, Karl Hollitzer, was the local judge from 1876 until 1848 and from 1848 until 1884 he was elected mayor of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg. As owner of a stone pit he made a fortune with contracts from the time the Danube was regulated.

paragraph: The young Carl Leopold studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. From 1906 on, he starred as a singer in the first Viennese cabaret stages, the cabaret "Nachtlicht" and the Cabaret Fledermaus. His second wife Gertrude Barrison was also a singer and they appeared many times together on the stage of the Cabaret Fledermaus.

paragraph: He founded the artist association "Jungbund" and became its president. Later on he joined the Vienna Künstlerhaus.

paragraph: Hollitzer was also known for his fine caricatures. He caricatured some of the most famous people from his time like Gustav Klimt, Karl Kraus, Hermann Bahr, Egon Friedell and Peter Altenberg. Many originals of his caricatures are in the Albertina, Vienna. Many long forgotten and until this day unpublished scripts, notes and caricatures are in the hands of a collector from Vienna. The last exhibition took place in 2001 in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere.

paragraph: One of Hollitzer passions was military tradition. He managed to create one of the biggest collections of weapons and uniforms in Europe. This collection was put up for an auction in the year 1934. Most of the uniforms and weapons were bought by the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna and are still exhibited until this day.

paragraph: In 1956, an alley in the Viennese district Favoriten was named after Carl Hollitzer.

paragraph: Lewis Sargentich

paragraph: Lewis Daniel "Lew" Sargentich (b. 1944), frequently referred to simply as "Sarge", has been a professor at Harvard Law School since 1973 where he teaches courses tort law and jurisprudence. Sargentich is well known for his remarkable record as a student at Harvard Law School, where he both named and first analyzed the First Amendment overbreadth doctrine in a student note . He graduated "summa cum laude".

paragraph: He grew up in Alhambra, California, and is the son of Daniel Sargentich, a first-generation American who lost most of his hearing working in copper mines, and Peggy Sargentich, who was known as Margaret until she told a handsome man in a voter registration line that her name was "Peggy" a name that stuck as that man became her husband of 65 years. Sarge is also the brother of Thomas O. Sargentich, the late professor at American University School of law and Karen Sargentich Stafford author of The Obelisk and "Dad Turned 90 on the 4th of July: Daniel Milo Sargentich".

paragraph: He co-authors the popular tort law casebook "Tort and Accident Law: Cases and Materials" with Gregory Keating and the late Robert Keeton.

paragraph: His latest book is "Liberal Legality: A Unified Theory of Our Law" , published by Cambridge University Press in April 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Academic career.

paragraph: During his time at Alhambra High School, Sargentich was the most acclaimed student orator in the country. He won both the prestigious National Forensic League Boys Domestic Extemporaneous Speaking tournament and the Lions Club National Speaker Contest in 1961. He then attended and graduated from Occidental College, Sussex University, and Harvard Law School.

paragraph: His brilliant academic career won him many accolades. Notably, Sargentich was one of a total of only eight HLS students to receive the "summa cum laude" designation at Harvard Law from 1969-2007 when the designation determined by a Grade Point Average threshold (the other seven are Richard Cooper '69, Isaac Pachulski '74, Peter Huber '82, Lisa Grow Sun '97, Julian Poon '99, Brian Fletcher '06, & Yaakov Roth '07). Harvard Law School experienced grade inflation in the 90's & 2000's leading to four (Lisa Grow Sun '97, Julian Poon '99, Brian Fletcher '06 & Yaakov Roth '07) students receiving the designation in a ten year span. While earning this distinction, Sargentich gained his first exposure to his future field of tort law in a course on the subject taught by longtime HLS Professor Robert Keeton, in which he received a grade of A+. This performance was sandwiched between his experiences as a Marshall Scholar at the University of Sussex in 1965 and as one of Thurgood Marshall's Supreme Court Law Clerks in 1970–71.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early legal career.

paragraph: He first gained acclaim in the legal profession for his student article, The First Amendment Overbreadth Doctrine (83 Harv. L. Rev. 844 ), which has been cited by over 210 scholarly works and over 150 cases making it the second most cited student legal article ever written. The article has been widely acclaimed as brilliant and sufficient impetus for HLS's extremely rare award of tenure to Sargentich before he had published any works professionally. He is commonly cited for his unpublished manuscript Complex Enforcement written in March 1978 and on file at the Harvard Law School Library.

paragraph: Sargentich clerked at the Supreme Court during the height of the Vietnam War protest era, when the Court was on security alert from time to time. A confidential memo to justices from Court Clerk E. Robert Seaver, dated May 3, 1971, warned ominously that "further trouble [i.e., an alert] is expected tomorrow morning". The memo laid out the security measures that executive-branch employees were using, including leaving the office early "to avoid a heavy rush-hour traffic and further trouble with the demonstrators". The memo also said: "The key executives in the executive branch are being told that if they want to avoid possible delays they should be in their offices by 6 a.m." Next to that sentence is a hand-drawn line, leading to a note at the bottom, apparently written by Marshall himself which read: "Not germane to law clerk Sargentich!!!"

paragraph: Asked about the note, Sargentich laughed loudly. "That was the justice, all right", he said. That year, Sargentich recalls, "I always strolled in rather late, and then worked very late", a habit he continues even now. "Getting in at 6 a.m.? I'm barely moving at that hour". Reflecting on his time as a clerk, Sargentich once commented that Justice Marshall "always was a person who believed in liberal values and who believed in the law and its service to the world".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later career.

paragraph: After clerking, Sargentich worked as staff counsel for the Washington Research Project for a year. He then worked for a year as associate general counsel for the United Mine Workers in Washington. He currently teaches jurisprudence and torts at Harvard Law; he became a lecturer at the school in 1973 at the age of 29, an assistant professor in 1974, and a full professor in 1979. Listing him as "One of 10 Professors to Take" in 2003, the Harvard Law Record noted that "[a]s the legal academy focuses increasingly on the intersection of law and politics, economics, race, literature, Sargentich stands tall as a steadfast expositor of the philosophical roots of law". His other activities at Harvard while a professor have included chairing Harvard's international graduate program.

paragraph: On October 16, 1983, the "New York Times" published a letter co-written by Sargentich and fellow Harvard law professors Duncan Kennedy and Richard Parker responding to adverse media reaction to George McGovern's announcement of his presidential candidacy. The letter provides a rare window into Sargentich's political leanings. It states in part:

paragraph: "What makes McGovern different is just this: He moved his party not to the right but to the left - and he seeks to move it to the left again. That, it seems to us, is reason enough to support his candidacy."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Personal.

paragraph: Sargentich is married to and frequently makes joint contributions with Valerie Bradley, who has been the President of the Human Services Research Institute—an organization involved in assisting states and the federal government to enhance services and supports to people with mental illness and people with intellectual disabilities—in Cambridge, MA since its inception in 1976. Sarge's apparent technological backwardness was once satirized in a "Harvard Law Record" April Fools' Day article quoting (a fictional version of) Sargentich as saying "I still don't fully understand what the Internet even is, your world frightens and confuses [me]".

paragraph: Thomas de Strickland

paragraph: Sir Thomas de Strickland (also Stryckeland; 1367 – 30 July 1455) was an English soldier. He is best known for carrying the banner of St. George at the battle of Agincourt.

paragraph: Section::::At war.

paragraph: Section::::At war.:Biography.

paragraph: On 21 July 1403, de Strickland fought on the Royalist side at the Battle of Shrewsbury for Henry IV and was awarded by the King, a sum of £38 and two horses which had belonged to the rebel Henry Percy (Hotspur). He was also rewarded for his valiant efforts by being made Keeper of Inglewood royal forest in Cumberland.

paragraph: He was appointed Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire for 1410 and for 1414.

paragraph: He was elected one of the knights of the shire (to represent Westmorland in the Parliament of England) in 1404, 1429, and 1431.

paragraph: Section::::At war.:Battle of Agincourt.

paragraph: On 25 October 1415, de Strickland and his Men at arms, including a group of archers known as "the Kendal Bowmen", were part of the army of King Henry V which won a major battle at Agincourt in North West France against superior numbers. As de Strickland was a knight in training, or esquire, he fought dismounted with a sword, It was a question of honour that a man who carried the banner of St. George did so without the protection of a shield, as he would be protected by his men at arms.

paragraph: Section::::Family life.

paragraph: In 1405, de Strickland married Mabel de Beethom, daughter of Sir John de Bethom, and they had several children, including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Walter (1411-1466), married Douce Croft.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret

paragraph: BULLET::::- Cecilia

paragraph: BULLET::::- Robert

paragraph: Strickland had been knighted by 1418, not long after the Battle of Agincourt. After that time it became common practice amongst noble families to drop the English "of" and the French "de" from their names, so Sir Thomas de (or of) Strickland became Sir Thomas Strickland.

paragraph: Section::::Later Stricklands.

paragraph: Thomas' son Walter Strickland (described in 1452 as an 'esquire') was an indentured retainer of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, and his 1452 indenture survives. He contracts to support the Earl of Salisbury with "bowmen horsed and harnessed, 69; billmen horsed and harnessed, 74; bowmen without horses, 71; billmen without horses, 76". (The term 'harnessed' refers to armour, not a horse harness.) During his father's lifetime he carried his father's banner of "sable three escallops argent", but differenced by the overlay of a "label of three points or".

paragraph: Succeeding his father as Sir Walter, he is known to have fought for the Yorkists at 1st St Alban's in 1455 and Blore Heath in 1459. He married Douce Croft.

paragraph: Sir Thomas Strickland was Walter's eldest son and he married Agnes Parr and later Margaret, widow of Sir John Byron. He also fought on the Yorkist side at Barnet (1471), where he was knighted by Edward IV, as well as fighting at Bosworth in 1485 for Richard III. He survived the battle and died in 1494.

paragraph: Yehuda Pen

paragraph: Yehuda Pen, also known as Yuri Pen ( – "Yudl Pen"; 5 June 1854 in Zarasai, Lithuania – 1 March 1937 in Vitebsk, Belarus) was a Litvak painter and art teacher. He was a major figure of the Jewish Renaissance in Russian and Belarusian art at the beginning of 20th century. Pen's most famous student in Vitebsk was the would-be great Jewish painter Marc Chagall.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Yehuda Pen was born on May 24 (June 5 Old Style) 1854 in the city of Novoalexandrovsk (now called Zarasai, or Ezhereni in Yiddish). He was orphaned at the age of thirteen and became an apprentice to a decorative painter in Dvinsk (now called Daugavpils, in Latvia). In 1879 he went to Saint Petersburg and took the entrance exam at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, but failed due to his lack of fluency in Russian. Despite lacking the necessary internal passport, he remained there and, in 1881, obtained permission to audit classes. His teachers included Pavel Chistyakov, Valentin Serov and Mikhail Vrubel. He was eventually admitted as a student and graduated in 1886.

paragraph: He returned to Dvinsk for a time, then moved to Riga, where he became involved in the local artistic circles and met Ilya Repin, who had an estate along the Dvina that was a meeting place for the Peredvizhniki. In 1891, on his friends' advice, he settled in Vitebsk and, a year later, opened a private art school that was the first Jewish art school in Belarus. He catered to many poor students who were unable to gain admission to the larger academies; all they needed was a sponsor. Pen's pupils included Ilya Mazel, Yefim Minin, Oskar Meshchaninov, Marc Chagall, Ossip Zadkine, Leon Gaspard, and El Lissitzky. The school was in operation until 1919. At that time, thanks to the efforts of Chagall, he became a teacher at the Vitebsk Art School.

paragraph: Pen was killed at his home in Vitebsk on the night of 28 February/1 March 1937. The exact circumstances of his death have never been clarified. He was buried in the Jewish cemetery there. The bronze bust on his grave has been stolen twice.

paragraph: The vast majority of Pen's major works are located in Belarusian museums and not in museums and collections in the West. A gallery devoted to his works has been created in Vitebsk. His works are also kept at the Vitebsk Museum of Modern Art and the Belarusian National Arts Museum.

paragraph: Giorgio De Vincenzi

paragraph: Giorgio De Vincenzi (1884 – 1965), was an Italian painter and etcher. He was a versatile artist, using diverse techniques and specialised in landscapes and portraiture.

paragraph: Section::::Short biography and analysis.

paragraph: Born in Ferrara in December 1884, De Vincenzi did not follow a normal course of academic studies, but for a period attended the studio of the Italian painter Nicola Laurenti, where he also befriended Jewish artist Roberto Melli and painter-poet Filippo De Pisis.

paragraph: His artistic production is well known nationally and is mostly dedicated to landscapes and female portraits. However, in his first artistic phase, De Vincenzi liked to paint his hometown's gardens and medieval walls, ideally anticipating the setting of Giorgio Bassani's books about Ferrara and its people suffering from racist persecution — later to become famous in movies such as "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" by Vittorio de Sica.

paragraph: Around 1928-1929 De Vincenzi moved to Bologna, where he died in 1965, after a lifetime of painting outside the contemporary parametres of the first half of the 20th century — in fact, De Vincenzi was not influenced by the various and changing currents of the period, but affirmed his own pictorial personality and experimented with new techniques.

paragraph: His landscapes were well received by Italian art critics, and praised for their chromatic contrasts and poetic tones. His style was at times compared to Van Gogh's and Utrillo's, but with a specifically idiosyncratic trait.

paragraph: Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu

paragraph: Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu, called "Tardieu fils" or "Tardieu the younger", (2 September 1716 – 9 July 1791) was a French engraver.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu was born on 2 September 1716 in Paris.

paragraph: He was the son of Marie-Anne Horthemels and Nicolas-Henri Tardieu, both engravers.

paragraph: He was taught by his father, who was recognized as one of the most eminent engravers France has produced.

paragraph: He was received at the Académie française on 24 October 1749 for his engraved portraits of Bon Boullogne (after Gilles Allou) and Le Lorrain (after Donat Nonnotte).

paragraph: He became "graveur ordinaire du roi" (Official Engraver to the King) and is also described as "graveur ordinaire" of the Elector of Cologne.

paragraph: Tardieu married in turn two print makers, Jeanne-Louise-Françoise Duvivier and Élisabeth-Claire Tournay.

paragraph: Jeanne-Louise is on record as having made several engravings.

paragraph: Her father, Jean Duvivier, and her brother, Pierre-Simon-Benjamin Duvivier, were both medal engravers, members of the Academy and "graveurs du roi" (King's Engravers). Jeanne-Louise died on 6 April 1762.

paragraph: Tardieu's second wife, Élisabeth Claire (1731 – 3 May 1773) was also an engraver.

paragraph: Her works included "The Concert" after Jean François de Troy, "La Marchande de moutarde" (The Mustard Merchant) after Charles François Hutin, "La Dame de Charité" (The Charitable Lady), "Le Prêtre du Catéchisme" (The Catechist) and "La Vieille Coquette" (The Old Coquette) after Pierre Louis Dumesnil, and "Le Joli Dormir" (The Repose) after Étienne Jeaurat. The tendency for wives to become prominent artists beside their husbands was unusual at the time but was common in the Tardieu family.

paragraph: Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu died in Paris on 9 July 1791.

paragraph: His son Jean-Charles Tardieu became a well-known painter.

paragraph: Section::::Œuvres.

paragraph: Tardieu made less use of the point graver than his father, and more use of the Burin, or cold chisel.

paragraph: As a result, his prints are more precise. It has been said, however, that they are "inferior in spirit and picturesqueness of effect."

paragraph: He made some of the plates for the Gallery of Versailles, after paintings by Charles Le Brun.

paragraph: His greatest ability may have been in portraits, such as those of his father and of Alexis Simon Belle, Pierre Jeannin and Mademoiselle du Bocage. His most notable portrait was that of the queen Marie Leszczyńska, after Jean-Marc Nattier.

paragraph: Tardieu's portraits include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Louis XV", after Vanloo

paragraph: John McAleese

paragraph: John Thomas "Mac" McAleese, MM (25 April 1949 – 26 August 2011) was a Scottish soldier who took part in several late 20th century conflicts with the British Army's Royal Engineers and the Special Air Service Regiment, including the storming of the Iranian Embassy in London during a hostage taking siege incident in May 1980.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: McAleese was born in Stirling, Scotland, on 25 April 1949 and grew up in Laurieston, Falkirk.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: He joined the Royal Engineers in 1969, aged 20, and in 1973 passed the All Arms Commando Course (AACC), which earned him the green beret and transferred to 59 Independent Commando, Royal Engineers.

paragraph: In 1975 he transferred into the Special Air Service Regiment. He was a lance corporal in 1980, serving in Pagoda Troop, 'B' Squadron, 22 SAS Regiment, when he led "Blue Team" in the storming of the Iranian Embassy in London during a hostage siege on 5 May 1980. McAleese fought in the Falklands War in 1982, and in Ulster. He was awarded the Military Medal for gallantry in action at the Loughgall ambush in Armagh on 8 May 1987, and was present at the Drumnakilly ambush in County Tyrone in August 1988. He also served as a bodyguard for three Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. He was discharged from the British Army on 8 February 1992 with the senior non-commissioned officer the rank of staff sergeant.

paragraph: Section::::Post-military life.

paragraph: After leaving the British Army McAleese worked for a short while as the landlord of a Hereford public house, was employed as a security contractor in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and became an advisor/interviewee on several British television programmes examining the working practices of British Special Forces soldiering. He sold his British Army service medals for an undisclosed sum to the Lord Ashcroft Collection. He appeared in the British Broadcasting Corporation produced television documentary series 'S.A.S. Survival Secrets' (2003), detailing the organizational structure of the Special Air Service Regiment and the nature of the military and security roles in which it is used. He also found employment in the corporate sphere of airsoft gaming, and as a spokesman for the corporate development of the martial art 'Goshinkwai'.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: McAleese married twice. On 20 August 2009 his elder son, Sergeant Paul McAleese of 2nd Battalion The Rifles, was killed on active service in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb during a foot patrol in Helmand Province. At a funeral service for Sgt. Paul McAleese's repatriated body at Hereford Cathedral on 14 September, John McAleese was seen to be visibly distressed during the ceremony.

paragraph: Four days after his son's funeral John McAleese was arrested by officers from West Mercia Police on charges of accessing indecent images of juveniles on the internet via a home computer. He had first been contacted by the British police in relation to the matter in 2007 whilst at his home in Greece, and had told them he would attend a British police station to assist with their enquiries when he was next back in the United Kingdom. After his son's funeral he had voluntarily attended a police interview, during which he had been cautioned, placed under arrest and bailed pending further enquiries, after which he returned to his residence in Greece. On a failure to attend the next bail appointment in the U.K., McAleese had been contacted by West Mercia Police at his home in Greece, whereupon he refused to return to England to attend the bail hearing. In March 2010 West Mercia Police applied for a European Arrest Warrant for John McAleese at Hereford Magistrates Court, which was granted, and in November 2010 the British Government formally requested McAleese's arrest by the Greek Government and extradition from its territory back to the United Kingdom. The matter was still legally ongoing at the time of McAleese's death.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: McAleese died on 26 August 2011 of a heart attack in his sleep at the age of 62 in Thessaloniki, Greece, where he was residing. His funeral was held at Hereford Cathedral. He was survived by his second wife, a daughter by his first marriage, and two children by his second marriage.

paragraph: Olivia Heussler

paragraph: Olivia Heussler (born 1957 in Zurich, Switzerland) is a Swiss photographer known for her photos of major political, historical and cultural events.

paragraph: Section::::Life and Works.

paragraph: Olivia Heussler (*1957) was trained as a medical technician before becoming a photographer. She studied at Zurich art school, ZHdK as a guest student and lived in Paris on an art grant for a while. She lived in Nicaragua during the 1980s and worked in Israel, Palestine, Turkey, East and Western Europe, East-and North Africa and Pakistan. Her photo essays have depicted the Youth Movements in Zürich, Nicaragua during war and peace, the situation of the Kurds in Turkey and the Human Rights in Latin America. Her work on the Palestinian Union of Medical Relief Committees was published in Out of Jerusalem (Berne 1993), about labor in Schichtwechsel (Zürich and Bellinzona 1996), about the Gotthard mountain in: Gotthard: Das Hindernis verbindet (Zürich 2003), about Nicaragua from 1984-2007 in The Dream of Solentiname (Zürich 2009), about the Youth Movements in Zürich, Sommer 1980 (Zürich 2010), and El sueno de Solentiname (Nicaragua 2010). She is author of several photoessays and her work is present in public and private collections and has been exhibited widely in international Art exhibitions. She instructs students of photography and participates in forums. She lives with her daughter in Zurich, Switzerland.

paragraph: Section::::Political Views & Activism.

paragraph: Olivia Heussler’s philosophy is to do photojournalism as human rights work inspired by one’s own impulses, e.g. going where one feels one has to go to do one’s work. With her choice of regions and localities, Heussler does not go by media attention, but travels independently, often joining colleagues of other professions, be they foreigners or local activists. This is the method followed in her most acclaimed photojournalist series from Kurdistan, Palestine and Nicaragua.

paragraph: Nicholas I Sanudo

paragraph: Nicholas I Sanudo (or "Niccolò"; died 1341) was the fifth Duke of the Archipelago from 1323 to his death. He was the son and successor of William I of the House of Sanudo.

paragraph: Nicholas fought under his brother-in-law Walter, Duke of Athens, at the disastrous Battle of Halmyros on 15 March 1311. He was one of the few knights on the losing side to escape with his life and liberty.

paragraph: When John of Gravina, the Prince of Achaea, came to the Morea in 1325 in an attempt to reverse the recent Byzantine gains, Nicholas, as a vassal of Achaea, went to his assistance. He fought in John of Gravina's futile siege of the castle of Karytaina, and when John left the Morea in spring 1326, he entrusted Nicholas with the conduct of military operations. At some point thereafter, he scored a success against a numerically superior Byzantine army that was raiding the Principality. After that, he left the Morea. Nicholas was the last Duke of Naxos to command troops in the mainland.

paragraph: He was succeeded by his brother John I. His other brother was Marco Sanudo, Lord of Milos.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Nicholas was married to Joanna of Brienne, the daughter of Hugues de Brienne, Count of Lecce (c. 1240 – 1296) and Helena Komnene Doukaina, a daughter of John I Doukas of Thessaly.

paragraph: Ansbert of Rouen

paragraph: Saint Ansbert, called Ansbert of Rouen or sometimes Ansbert of Chaussy (? – c. 695), is a saint from northern France. In the 7th century, he served the Christian Church as a monk and an abbot, and ultimately as the archbishop of the city of Rouen.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ansbert was born at Chaussy-sur-Epte, a village in the Norman historical area known as the Vexin. He was born to a noble family, and was highly educated. He had a significant professional career, and is said to have served as a senior member of the court of the Merovingian king, Clotaire III. As such, he was both Lord Chancellor of France and Référendaire of France.

paragraph: Ansbert was engaged to be married to another future saint, Angadrisma. Her father, said to have been another of Clotaire's chancellors, arranged for her to wed his colleague, but Angadrisma – later a patroness of nuns – prayed for release from this obligation. Tradition states that dispensation was given to her after she was "struck down with leprosy", a disfiguring malady which only disappeared when she joined a convent. Some sources state that Ansbert later took a different bride.

paragraph: Section::::Religious vocation.

paragraph: In 673, the same year Clotaire died, Ansbert renounced his secular pursuits and became a monk of the Benedictine order. Six years later, he was elevated to abbot of his monastery, the illustrious Fontenelle Abbey. He followed two other saints in that office: Wandrille, the abbey's founder and first abbot, and Lambert, the second abbot, who vacated the office when he was named bishop of Lyons. Under his leadership, Fontenelle prospered. His enterprises included a great expansion and refinement of the abbey's library, and the establishment of local hospitals for the poor.

paragraph: During his time as abbot, Ansbert served as the confessor to King Theodoric III. After several years, Ansbert was appointed archbishop of Rouen following the death of the previous officeholder, Saint Ouen, in 683 or 684. His former mentor Saint Lambert performed his consecration, and Ansbert was succeeded as abbot at Fontenelle by Hildebert (d. 701), who is also venerated as a saint.

paragraph: Despite his high office and eminent reputation, Ansbert was removed from the bishopric around the year 690. By "a false accusation", the powerful "majordomo" of the Frankish court, Pepin of Heristal, arranged his dismissal, either because of some kind of political opposition or because Ansbert's "zeal was not well-received" and "his austere life caused offence". He was sent into exile at the monastery of Hautmont where he stayed until his death, sometime between 692 and 695. At some time Pepin apparently reconsidered his actions and agreed to allow Ansbert to return, but either he changed his mind again or Ansbert died before making the trip.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The 12th-century chronicler Ordericus Vitalis relays a tale in which it was said that Ansbert's remains were desecrated and dispersed by soldiers of Hugh the Great. He asserts that the bones in question belonged to a different Ansbert, and that those of the saint were, at the time of his writing, still preserved safely at Fontenelle Abbey. The 18th-century author Alban Butler, however, states that the remains were at some point transferred to St. Peter's Abbey in Ghent, where they were destroyed by Calvinists in 1578.

paragraph: A collective day of remembrance for all the many saints associated with Fontenelle Abbey is celebrated on 1 March. Saint Ansbert's own annual feast day is 9 February.
