paragraph: Auguste-Marseille Barthélemy

paragraph: Auguste-Marseille Barthélemy (179623 August 1867), born at Marseilles, was a French satirical poet. His name can hardly be separated from that of his friend and compatriot, Joseph Méry (1798–1866), with whom he carried on so intimate a collaboration that it is not possible to distinguish their personalities in their joint works.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: After having established some local reputation as a poet, Barthélemy went to Paris, where by one of his first efforts, "Le Sacre de Charles X" (1825) he gained the favor of the court. His energies, however, were soon enlisted in the service of the opposition party. In 1825 appeared a clever political satire, "Les Sidiennes", followed by "La Villéliade ou la prise du château de Rivoli" (1827), "La Corbiéréide" (1827), "La Peyronnéide", the joint productions of Barthélemy and Méry. The success was immediate and pronounced; fifteen editions of the "Villéliade" were called for during the year. A rapid succession of political squibs and satires was now poured forth by the authors, among the most remarkable being "Biographie des quarante de l’Académie française" (1826) and "Napoléon en Égypte" (1828), which passed through nearly a dozen editions in a year.

paragraph: In 1829 Barthélemy was imprisoned and fined 1000 francs for the publication of their "Fils de l’homme", a poem on the Duke of Reichstadt, Napoleon's son. The July Revolution of 1830 liberated him; and in company with Méry, he celebrated the triumph of the people in one of their most brilliant efforts, "L’Insurrection". From March 1831 to April 1832 they produced a series of verse satires issued weekly, "the Némésis", attacking the government and ministers of Louis Philippe. The small pension of which Barthélemy was the recipient was stopped. When the publication ceased there was a strong suspicion that Barthélemy had been paid for his silence, although a collection of the satires went through several editions in the 1830s. In 1832 he published an anonymous poem, supporting some acts of the government which were peculiarly obnoxious to the liberal faction of the Orléanist party. This change of front destroyed his influence and his later writings passed unnoticed.

paragraph: For the next few years he enjoyed a handsome pension from the government and refrained from all satirical writing. He again resumed his old style in 1844. and a collection of 24 satires entitled "Nouvelle Némésis" was published in 1845, but, apparently, without the former success. From that date he contented himself with occasional poems. Barthélemy died on 23 August 1867 in Marseilles.

paragraph: Section::::Naval career.:First World War.

paragraph: Tyrwhitt was given command of the Harwich Force at the start of the First World War flying his broad pendant in the protected cruiser HMS "Amethyst". With his flag in the light cruiser HMS "Arethusa", Tyrwhitt led a supporting naval force of 31 destroyers and two cruisers at the Battle of Heligoland Bight in August 1914 in which action the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron under Sir David Beatty sunk three German cruisers and one German destroyer with minimal loss of allied warships. For this action Tyrwhitt was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 21 October 1914.

paragraph: Pebatjma

paragraph: Pebatjma (or Pebatma) was a Nubian queen dated to the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt. She was the wife of King Kashta. She is mentioned on a statue of her daughter Amenirdis I, now in Cairo (42198). She is also mentioned on a doorjamb from Abydos.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Pebatjma was the wife of King Kashta. Several children and possible children are recorded:

paragraph: BULLET::::- King Piye - Thought to be a son of Kashta and thus possibly a son of Pebatjma

paragraph: BULLET::::- King Shabaka - Mentioned as a brother of Amenirdis I, and hence a son of Kashta and Pebatjma.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Queen Khensa - Wife of Piye, thought to be a daughter of Kashta and possibly Pebatjma.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Queen Peksater (or Pekareslo) - She was married to Piye and was buried in Abydos. She may have died while accompanying Piye on a campaign to Egypt. Laming and Macadam suggest she was an adopted daughter of Pebatjma.

paragraph: BULLET::::- God's Wife of Amun Amenirdis I. A statue of Amenirdis mentions she is the daughter of Kashta and Pebatjma.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Neferukakashta - Thought to be a daughter of Kashta and possibly Pebatjma.

paragraph: Section::::Possible identification with Pabtamer.

paragraph: It is possible but by no means certain that Pebatjma is identical to a royal woman named Pabtamer (Pa-abt-ta-mer). A stela from Abydos belonging to a general named Paqattereru (Pekatror) records how this general was called upon by Osiris for the burial of his mother Pabtamer who had the beautiful name Meres-Nip ("beloved of Napata" or "She who loves Napata"). She holds the titles Chantress of Amun, King's Sister, King's daughter, and Mother of the Adorer of the God. It has been suggested that Pa-abt-ta-mer is an Egyptianization of the name Pebatjma. The problem with the identification is that Pa-abt-ta-mer holds slightly different titles than those recorded for Pebatjma on other monuments. Furthermore, the title of King's daughter is slightly problematic as there is no known king who could be her father. Paqattereru is not a King's son, and these facts may point to Pa-abt-ta-mer being an otherwise unknown wife of either Piye or Taharqa, and the mother of either Shepenupet II or Amenirdis II.

paragraph: Eva Adams

paragraph: Eva Adams (September 10, 1908 – August 23, 1991) was the Director of the United States Mint from 1961 to 1969.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Eva Adams was born in Wonder, Nevada on September 10, 1908, the daughter of Verner Laur Adams and his wife Cora (Varble) Adams. During Eva’s childhood, the Adam's family moved around the state often as her father was called out to work to set up numerous facilities in mining camps for Wingfield. These facilities included hotels, commissaries, and bars. Due to the frequent re-locating in her early years she learned independence and how to make friends easily. Also Adams adapted to be happy where ever she was. Eventually Adams' mother insisted the family settle down in Reno, Nevada. Adams graduated from Reno High School at age 14. She then attended the University of Nevada, Reno, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, graduating in 1928, at age 19.

paragraph: After graduating from college, Adams moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to become a teacher at Las Vegas High School. During this time, she became involved with the Clark County Democratic Party and was introduced to Pat McCarran.

paragraph: She returned to Nevada in 1940 to briefly join the English department of the University of Nevada, Reno; shortly thereafter, Pat McCarran, by now United States Senator for Nevada, invited her to move to Washington, D.C. to become his Administrative Assistant. She worked for Senator McCarran until his death in 1954. She then worked for McCarran's successor, Ernest S. Brown, in 1954, and then Alan Bible from 1954 to 1960.

paragraph: In 1961, President of the United States John F. Kennedy named Adams Director of the United States Mint, and Adams subsequently held that office from October 1961 until August 1969. Adams was recommended by Senator Alan Bible because of her previous knowledge and experience on precious metals. She was the second woman to hold the title of Director at the Mint. Nonetheless, Adams had a significant impact. She cleaned up processes and made them more efficient. During her time there, they added approximately 100 new coin presses, which was outlined in her article on the “Changes in Coinage”. She was present during The Coinage Act of 1965, which eliminated silver from the American dime and quarter. She also helped plan the opening of the current Philadelphia Mint, which opened in 1969. Once the Mint was operating, Adams resigned. This was primarily because President Nixon put pressure on Adams to leave, since he wanted a Republican as the director.

paragraph: Following her career at the Mint, Adams was the assistant to the chairman of Mutual of Omaha. She did this until 1978. During this time, she was also named director of the Medallic Art Company of New York City and served on the American Numismatic Association board of governors (1971-1875).

paragraph: Adams died in Reno on August 23, 1991.

paragraph: Mithridates V of Pontus

paragraph: Mithridates V Euergetes (Greek: "Μιθριδάτης ὁ εὐεργέτης", which means "Mithridates the benefactor"; fl. 2nd century BC, r. 150–120 BC); also known as "Mithridates V of Pontus", "Mithradates V of Pontus "and "Mithradates V Euergetes", was a Prince and seventh King of the wealthy Kingdom of Pontus.

paragraph: Mithridates V was of Greek Macedonian and Persian ancestry. He was the son of the King Pharnaces I of Pontus and Queen Nysa, while his sister was Nysa of Cappadocia. His mother is believed to have died during childbirth, while giving birth to either him or his sister. He was born and raised in the Kingdom of Pontus. Mithridates V succeeded his paternal aunt Laodice and paternal uncle Mithridates IV of Pontus on the Pontian throne, but the circumstance of his accession is uncertain.

paragraph: Mithridates V continued the alliance with the Roman Republic started by his predecessors. He supported them with some ships and a small auxiliary force during the Third Punic War (149–146 BC) and at a subsequent period rendered them useful assistance in the war against the King of Pergamon, Eumenes III (131–129 BC).

paragraph: For his services on this occasion, Mithridates V was rewarded by the Roman consul Manius Aquillius with the province of Phrygia. However the acts of the Roman consul were rescinded by the Roman Senate on the grounds of bribery, but it appears that he maintained his possession of Phrygia until his death. Mithridates V also increased the power of the Kingdom of Pontus by the marriage of his eldest child, his daughter Laodice of Cappadocia to King Ariarathes VI of Cappadocia. The end of his reign can only be approximately determined based on statements concerning the accession of his son Mithridates VI, which is assigned to the year 120 BC, signaling the end of the reign of Mithridates V.

paragraph: Mithridates V was assassinated in about 120 BC in Sinope, poisoned by unknown persons at a lavish banquet which he held.

paragraph: Mithridates V, was a great benefactor to the Hellenic culture which shows on surviving coinage and honorific inscriptions stating his donations in Athens and Delos and held the Greek God Apollo in great veneration. A bilingual inscription dedicated to him is displayed at the Capitoline Museums in Rome. Mithridates V was buried in the royal tombs of his ancestors at Amasya.

paragraph: Mithridates V married the Greek Seleucid Princess Laodice VI, who was the daughter of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and Laodice IV. Mithridates V and Laodice VI were related, thus he was connected to the Seleucid dynasty.

paragraph: Laodice bore Mithridates V seven children: Laodice of Cappadocia, Mithridates VI of Pontus, Mithridates Chrestus, Laodice, Nysa (sometimes spelt as Nyssa), Roxana and Statira. Roxana and Statira were compelled to kill themselves with poison after the fall of the Kingdom of Pontus in 63 BC. Nysa was taken prisoner by the Romans and made to march in the triumphs of two Roman generals.

paragraph: Byrhtnoth

paragraph: Byrhtnoth () was Ealdorman of Essex who died 11 August 991 at the Battle of Maldon. His name is composed of the Old English "beorht" (bright) and "noð" (courage). He is the subject of an ancient poem and, more recently, a statue.

paragraph: Section::::Death in battle.

paragraph: His death, while leading the Anglo-Saxon forces against the Vikings in 991, is the subject of the famous Old English poem "The Battle of Maldon". As presented there, his decision to allow the Vikings to move to a better position was heroic but fatal. He was said to stand well over six feet in height, and was around the age of sixty years at the Battle of Maldon, with "swan-white hair". Although it is believed that he fell early in the battle, some say that it took three men to kill him, one of them almost severing Byrhtnoth's arm in the process. He had previously had several military successes, presumably also against Viking raiders.

paragraph: Section::::Patronage and burial.

paragraph: Byrhtnoth was a patron of Ely Abbey, giving it many villages (including Spaldwick, Trumpington, Rettendon, Soham, Fulbourn, Impington, Pampisford and Teversham). He was buried there alongside Archbishop Wulfstan the homilist. The "Liber Eliensis" records that his widow gave the Abbey a tapestry or hanging celebrating his deeds, presumably in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry, the only surviving example of such a work. This was given immediately after his death, so had probably been hanging in his home previously.

paragraph: Section::::Reburials.

paragraph: After his burial, his remains, along with six other Saxon 'benefactors of Ely Church' (also known as the seven 'Confessors of Christ') have been moved and reburied three times. Archbishop Wulfstan (died 1023), with six Bishops (Osmund of Sweden, Athelstan of Elmham, Ælfwine of Elmham, Ælfgar of Elmham, Eadnoth of Dorchester) and Byrhtnoth were all exhumed from their burial places in the old Saxon Abbey Church, and in the mid-1150s the remains were reinterred in the 'Northern Part' of the new Norman Church, which by then had been made Ely Cathedral.

paragraph: Following the collapse of the central tower, in 1322, a new octagonal space was created, and a wall was built on its north side to separate the monastic area of the choir from the pilgrim entrance and route to the shrine of Æthelthryth (St Etheldreda). Within this wall the seven benefactors were buried, with wall paintings of each in an elaborate arcade, facing the pilgrim entrance, perhaps to remind visitors of the enduring respect that can accrue from such generosity.

paragraph: The shrines were destroyed and pilgrimages ceased at the Reformation, but in 1769, when the choir stalls were moved out of the Octagon, the wall was demolished and James Bentham found that the remains of the seven benefactors were still there, each in a separate compartment, although Byrhtnoth's was headless. All the clerics were estimated to be over tall, and Byrhtnoth's bones suggested that he stood at . On 31 July 1781 they were again re-interred, with considerable ceremony, at the far east end of the Cathedral, in niches constructed within the gothic splendour of Bishop Nicholas West's Chantry chapel.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Byrhtnoth was married to Ælfflæd, sister of the dowager Queen Æthelflæd of Damerham, making Byrhtnoth a kinsman of King Edgar by marriage. Byrhtnoth may have had a daughter called Leofflæd, however she is not mentioned in any pre-Conquest source.

paragraph: Section::::Memorials.

paragraph: Recently, a statue created by John Doubleday has been placed at the end of the Maldon Promenade Walk, facing the battle site of Northey Island and the Causeway. The battle site itself has a National Trust plaque recording his 'heroic defeat and death'.

paragraph: As well as the Anglo-Saxon poem, "The Battle of Maldon", J.R.R. Tolkien's short play in verse, "The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, Beorhthelm's Son" takes place on the battlefield of Maldon and deals with Byrhtnoth's death.

paragraph: Jojo Mayer

paragraph: Sergé "Jojo" Mayer (born 18 January 1963) is a Swiss virtuoso drummer born in Zürich and currently residing in New York City.

paragraph: Mayer is the son of touring musician and bass player Vali Mayer and began his career as a drummer at an early age, receiving his first drum set at the age of two. Having taught himself throughout his childhood, he broke out into the professional music scene at the age of 18, joining the Monty Alexander group. Touring with the group launched him into the major jazz music scene, and he has played at the North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreux, Nice, and Athens etc., which culminated with his gigging with jazz-greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone. Eventually, after playing with a great variety of artists, Mayer moved away from jazz and into Drum 'n' Bass.

paragraph: Jojo Mayer is known for bringing together jazz, drum and bass, jungle, and other influences. He is also famous for his ability to play the rhythms of programmed jungle drum 'n' bass music on acoustic drums, terming this technique "reverse engineering", a phrase borrowed from computing. He executes this approach using various methods such as the heel-toe bass drum technique, the Moeller stroke, the Valving technique, and the "pull-out" or "push-pull" accent which takes the beat on the rebound. Using these techniques, he can play beats at astonishing speeds. A few of his main influences are Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette and Buddy Rich.

paragraph: He is the leader of live electronica trio Nerve, which he founded in 1997.

paragraph: He played with the guitarist David Fiuczynski in the avant-garde jazz rock band Screaming Headless Torsos and in the fusion jazz band, Intergalactic Maiden Ballet.

paragraph: He ran the popular Prohibited Beatz live electronica party in NYC from 1996-2001.

paragraph: Krsto Hegedušić

paragraph: Krsto Hegedušić (26 November 1901 – 7 April 1975) was a Croatian painter, illustrator and theater designer. His most famous paintings depict the harsh died of the Croatian peasantry in the manner of naive art. He was one of the founders of the Earth Group.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Petrinja, but when his father died in 1909, the family came back to Hlebine, the village in the region of Podravina from which they originated.

paragraph: In 1920 Hegedušić enrolled in the Arts and Crafts College in Zagreb, where he made his first idyllic paintings of Podravina. The painting courses of Vladimir Becić and Tomislav Krizman widened his horizons, but did not influence his style.

paragraph: In 1926 he was awarded a French government scholarship and spent two years in Paris. There he studied the paintings of Pieter Brueghel.

paragraph: Hegedušić made his first one-man exhibition with Juraj Plančić at the Ulrich Gallery in Zagreb in 1926. He made paintings with social themes, showing the exploitation of the Croatian peasants. In 1929 he got together with the painters Ivan Tabaković and Oton Postružnik, as well as Leo Junek in Paris. They founded Zemlja ("soil" in Croatian), the first Croatian group of artists that promoted Marxism. Hegedušić was their ideologue and unofficial leader. Paintings like "The Accordionist" and "The Flood" are socially critical and reject purely artistic goals.

paragraph: In 1930 he founded the Hlebine School, a naive art movement that involved young peasant painters. One of them, Ivan Generalić, reached world fame. "Podravina Motifs", published in 1933, was a book combining his drawings with a poetic essay by Miroslav Krleža, today considered a masterpiece of Croatian literature. Krleža would later write a script for a documentary feature about Hegedušić (1962).

paragraph: Hegedušić started teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts Zagreb in 1936. During the anti-communist oppression in the 1930s, he was arrested several times. When the Nazi-sponsored Ustaša came to power in 1941, Hegedušić came under the protection of the Archbishop Stepinac. He spent the war quietly working on various themes, including religion (numerous sketches for the Calvary fresco in Marija Bistrica in 1941). When the communist government was installed in Yugoslavia in 1945, Hegedušić was appointed professor at the Zagreb Academy. In 1950, he founded a "master's studio" there. The "master's studio" eventually gathered an impressive list of notable painters such as Miroslav Šutej, Zlatko Sirotić, and others.

paragraph: After the World War II, he started painting some surrealistic paintings. For example, "Dead Waters" is somewhat remindful of themes of the Theatre of the Absurd.

paragraph: Paintings like "The Bridegroom, the Ox and the Pump" from 1969 are critical of urban life. In the period 1971–73, Hegedušić worked on a large cycle of macabre frescoes for the war memorial of Tjentište.

paragraph: He illustrated books and designed ballet and theater sets. He died in Zagreb.

paragraph: Valentín Campa

paragraph: Valentín Campa Salazar (14 February 1904 – 25 November 1999) was a Mexican railway union leader and presidential candidate. Along with Demetrio Vallejo, he was considered one of the leaders of the 1958 railway strikes. Campa was also the founder of the National Railroad Council, and the defunct underground newspaper "The Railwayman".

paragraph: Section::::Communist Party.

paragraph: Valentín Campa was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, and joined the Mexican Communist Party ( in 1927 at the age of 25; eventually becoming the youngest member of the parties Central Committee. Campa's views would eventually draw the ire of the party. In March 1949 he was expelled from the PCM in along with the party Secretary General, Hernán Laborde. The two, along with others in the party, were removed due to their views that the assassination of Leon Trotsky should wait. Campa believed the killing of Trotsky would make him a martyr, and only blacken the message of the party.

paragraph: In 1976 Valentín Campa was chosen as the presidential candidate for the PCM. The PCM was not certified to run an electoral candidate, however it is rumored Campa garnered approximately one million votes. The vote count was never reported since the candidate ran officially unopposed, the government also refused to release the number of votes each person received. Campa's campaign was supported by the Socialist League and . The campaign was called "The March for Democracy" by supporters and bore the slogan "Campa, Candidate of the Workers Struggle." Campa supported, and discussed in the 97 political meetings he attended over the three-month race, priests' political rights, academic freedom, and democracy within the Mexican army. While the campaign, due to its unofficial structure, ran without media access, it is calculated over 100,000 people attended the political meetings held by Campa, and over 10,000 people in support of Campa, attended the closing event at the Arena México in the nation's capital.

paragraph: Section::::CTM/STFRM.

paragraph: Valentín Campa was a member of the Executive Committee of the Union of Railroad Workers of the Mexican Republic () from 1943 – 1947. In 1944 a split began to develop within the party and the president was asked to step and assist in a compromise. Luis Gómez Zepeda was chosen as secretary general and Campa was elected to serve as Secretary of Education, Organization and Propaganda.

paragraph: In 1947, Campa lead a breakaway faction within the Confederation of Mexican Workers () called the Special Confederation of Workers (). The new labor confederation included telephonists, railroad workers, miners and oil workers. The goal of the CUT was to be an independent labor movement, devoid of government influence it alleged plagued the CTM. The following year, in 1948, Jesús Díaz de León was elected to the position of STFRM secretary general. On 28 September, Díaz de León filed a petition with the Attorney General against Campa and Gómez Zepeda, who he felt were a "communist menace," on charges of embezzlement of 100,000 pesos. The union was outraged at the actions of Díaz de León, particularly on the grounds that such charges are to be presented to the unions vigilance committee. The unions general accounting committee followed suit, condemning Díaz de León's actions as having solicited the government into the unions affairs. The unions executive committee and vigilance committee release statements accusing Díaz de León of ""wanting to divide the union in complicity with the government,"" and temporarily suspended him, placing Francisco Quintano Madrazo in his place. Díaz de León however rallied his supporters, appearing at the headquarters of the STFRM, along with an estimated one hundred secret police officers dressed as railway workers. The supporters assaulted the STFRM headquarters, while their actions were directed from the rear by his grandfather and senator, Colonel Serrano, from a jeep and speaker system attached to a military truck. By 8 October local newspapers were running stories stating Campa and Gómez were wanted by the Federal Judicial Police. Campa was eventually detained as well as members of the executive and vigilance committee, by the judicial police on charges of transferring 200,000 pesos to Campa's break off group CUT. Campa maintained, as well as provided proof, that the actions were accounted for and proper permission granted. Campa went underground and protested the charges, stating he earned only 575 pesos a month in his position and owned no house, car, or even business, and could not have benefited personally. Campa avoided arrest until November 1949, however upon capture was sentenced to eight years on the charge of fraud, he was held until 1952 at Lecumberri Prison.

paragraph: Section::::Strikes of 1959.

paragraph: In February 1959, the previous collective contract for the railroad unions had lapsed and a deadline for a new contract was fast approaching. On 24 March, the strike officially began as all three of the railway enterprises, The Pacific, Mexican Railways, and Veracruz Terminal, began work stoppages. The railway officials refused to acknowledge the strike and ordered the union members to return to work. On 26 March, the railway officials began to fire employees, over 13,000 in total, with many arrested. In protest the STFRM held a one-hour complete work stoppage and general strike. On Good Friday, 27 March, a proposal was presented directly to President, Adolfo López Mateos, the demands were reduced to payment on the seventh day of rest, and a swift end to the repression. The president began to stall as over one hundred thousand people were on strike and estimated millions of pesos were lost.

paragraph: On 28 March, Vallejo was kidnapped along with 28 others by the Federal Police and the army. The government mobilized several battalions of troops, fired another 9,000 workers and arrested over 10,000. The arrests spread beyond railway workers to professors, peasants and Marxist-Leninist activists. Valentín Campa was wanted by authorities for his role in leading the strikes. On 3 April Gilberto Rojo Robles, deputy to Vallejo, issued a notice to all workers to return to work on the basis a deal was made, however no such agreement came to pass. Rojo Robles was soon after arrested along with Alberto Lumbreras, and Miguel Aroche Parra of the POCM and Dionisio Encina, secretary for the PCM. Valentín Campa however would remain at large, directing railroad strikes for a year. While in hiding Campa founded the National Railroad Council in 1959 and started an underground newspaper titled "The Railwayman". In May 1960, Valentín Campa was finally arrested and imprisoned.

paragraph: It would be ten years after their eleven-year sentence before Vallejo and Campa would eventually be released. The rising student movement had succeeded in pressuring Gustavo Díaz Ordaz to repeal the law against "social dissolution." On 27 July 1970, Campa and Vallejo were released. Following Vallejos release he refused to join Campa in the National Railroad Council, instead opting to found his own group, Railwaymen's Union Movement (MSF).

paragraph: In 2008 Paul Timman partnered with Ink Dish to create a line of porcelain dinnerware. "I knew that if I did my job well, I could bridge the gap between mainstream society and help to introduce tattooing into every day life -- without the process of getting tattooed," says Timman.

paragraph: Paul's Irezumi design was named to Metropolitan Home's 2009 Design 100 list. The design "is based on the Japanese style of tattooing known as Irezumi.

He was summoned to Parliament from 1445 to 1460.

paragraph: Scales was an important man of considerable wealth. This is alluded to in Shakespeare's "Henry VI, Part 3": King Edward IV's brothers George and Richard complain to Edward about his bestowal of Scales' heiress (one of the wealthiest in England) on his Queen's brother, instead of one of them.

paragraph: In 1422, Scales crossed the Channel to Normandy, and served as a lieutenant of John, Duke of Bedford.

paragraph: By 1423, Scales was captain of Verneuil. From 1424 to 1425, he fought alongside John Fastolf to recapture the fortress at Maine. He was captured at the Battle of Patay in 1429 and later ransomed.

paragraph: According to a recruitment roll now at the National Army Museum, he commanded a corps of 728 archers (some with fire-tipped arrows) and about 50 infantry at the siege of Saint-Denis. In 1439, to cut off Mont-Saint-Michel, at the end of the French bridge in English-held territory, he founded the citadel of Granville. In 1442 Granville was taken by surprise by the French defenders of the Mont.

paragraph: In the Wars of the Roses Scales fought for Lancaster, and as such appears in Shakespeare's "Henry VI, Part 2". On 25 July 1460 Scales was murdered, having, as commander of the Tower of London, turned its weapons against the city which was supporting the Yorkist Earl of Salisbury in besieging the Tower.

paragraph: Section::::Residences.

paragraph: Mike Scheidt

paragraph: Mike Scheidt (born September 1, 1970 in Eugene, Oregon) is the guitarist and lead vocalist of doom metal band YOB.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mike Scheidt helped create YOB in 2000, which disbanded in 2006 and then reformed in 2008. Before they disbanded, YOB released a demo and four albums. YOB has shared the stage with other important underground acts like Electric Wizard, High on Fire, Isis, and The Locust as well. He was also in the side project of YOB, which was named H.C. Minds. H.C. Minds have released one full-length album, one EP, and a split album with the band dot(.). Scheidt went on to form the band Middian with Will Lindsay bass and vocals, Scott Headrick on drums, and himself on guitar after YOB split up. When asked about the new sound compared to YOB, Mike replied, "[It] isn't YOB 2.0... Middian is more mid-paced and meaner on average, though there are definite slow doom parts for sure. My singing is as varied as ever, but somehow seems different from YOB. Plus, my bandmates bring their own influences into the mix." Middian released one album, titled Age Eternal. Scheidt then reformed Yob after Middian broke up following a legal dispute over the band name. Yob have since released three further albums.

paragraph: Scheidt's first solo album, "Stay Awake", was released in 2012 and features acoustic guitar, a departure from Scheidt's usual instrument. The inspiration for going acoustic came when he saw Scott Kelly of Neurosis play acoustic.

paragraph: In 2012, Scheidt formed VHÖL with John Cobbett, Sigrid Sheie, and Aesop Dekker. The band's eponymous debut was released by Profound Lore Records on 9 April 2013.

paragraph: Goeznovius

paragraph: Goeznovius (died c. 675 according to one account but more probably fl. sixth century.), also known as Goueznou, was a Cornish-born Bishop of Léon in Brittany, who is venerated as a saint in the region around Brest and the diocese of Léon. According to his "Legenda" he was born in Cornwall and became one of many of his countrymen who moved to the continent in the wake of the Anglo-Saxon invasions and helped found the Brittonic settlement in Armorica that became established as Brittany. His feast day is celebrated on October 25.

paragraph: Section::::"Legenda Sancti Goeznovii".

paragraph: Goeznovius is known through his hagiography, the "Legenda Sancti Goeznovii". The author names himself as William, a Breton chaplain in the "familia" of the otherwise-unattested Bishop Eudo of Léon, and gives a date of 1019 for the work, though it is now dated to the late 12th to early 13th century AD. The "Legenda" includes an unusual preface detailing the history of Brittany and including some episodes from Britain's traditional history.

paragraph: The preface describes the traditional story of Vortigern, who usurps the British throne and invites Saxon warriors into the country as protection. The Saxons caused great suffering among the Britons, until they were largely driven out by the new king, Arthur. Arthur proceeded to win battles in Britain and in Gaul but was eventually "summoned… from human activity," paving the way for the Saxons to return. The Saxon persecution caused many of the Britons to flee to Gaul, where they established Brittany.

paragraph: J. S. P. Tatlock set out signs that the preface to William's "Legenda" followed the outlines of Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae", written around 1136, and therefore that the date 1019 was a fiction but this conclusion has been challenged by Léon Fleuriot: the preface includes material that is found in early sources but not in Geoffrey, suggesting that the author had access to some earlier document. More recently André-Yves Bourgès has demonstrated that the author of the Life is most likely Guillaume le Breton (c. 1166-1226 AD)..

paragraph: For those who consider it independent of Geoffrey the "Legende", as an early historical account that depicts Arthur without fantastic or legendary touches, is an important historical basis for King Arthur. The text may imply that Arthur succeeds Vortigern directly whereas Geoffrey claims two kings reigned between them (Aurelius Ambrosius and Uther Pendragon). If so it places his activities during the period of Saxon unrest in the mid-5th century.

paragraph: Emanuel Sweert

paragraph: Emanuel Sweert (1552–1612) was a Dutch painter and nurseryman noted for his publication in 1612 at Frankfurt-am-Main of "Florilegium Amplissimum et Selectissimum".

paragraph: Sweert was born at Zevenbergen and lived in a period when new plants from across the world were being introduced to Europe via Dutch, English and French ships. To meet the burgeoning interest in plants by the public, nurseries were being established by wealthy merchants in order to meet the demand. Botanical illustration suddenly found a new outlet in the production of nursery catalogues. Sweert prepared his "Florilegium" as a guide of his available stock for the Frankfurt Fair of 1612. The plates, depicting some 560 bulbs and flowers, were from the Johann Theodore de Bry "Florilegium" which in turn was based on that by Pierre Vallet. His attractively depicted bulbs sparked their popularity, leading to 6 editions of the work between 1612 and 1647, and a demand which would later result in "Tulipomania". At the time of the fair Sweert was in the employ of Emperor Rudolf II as head of his gardens in Vienna. He borrowed freely from plates that had been published before, so that many of those that appeared in the "Florilegium" had been cultivated in the gardens of King Henry IV of France at the Louvre. He died in Amsterdam.

paragraph: William B. Robertson

paragraph: Major William Bryan Robertson (October 8, 1893 –August 1, 1943) was an American aviator and aviation executive who was the co-founder of Lambert-St. Louis Flying Field as well as the owner and President of Robertson Aircraft Corporation (RAC) located there, a company which he had co-founded with his brother, Frank, in 1918.

paragraph: RAC provided a wide range of aviation services as well as having operated Contract Air Mail service from St. Louis to Chicago (CAM-2) beginning in 1926. Along with the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, in 1927 Robertson backed his chief Air Mail pilot, Charles Lindbergh, to compete in the Orteig Prize and funded the design and construction of his aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, for the New York-Paris flight.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born on October 8, 1893 in Nashville, Tennessee.

paragraph: In 1924, Major Robertson became the first commanding officer of the Missouri National Guard Air Unit 35th Division, Aviation Section operating out of Lambert field with eight Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" aircraft. The unit which Robertson commanded is the ancestor of the Missouri Air National Guard's 110th Bomb Squadron, which is part of the 131st Bomb Wing.

paragraph: In 1927, Robertson left Robertson Aircraft Corporation and formed an interest with the Curtiss-Wright corporation. This created a division named Curtiss-Robertson Airplane Manufacturing Company to build the Curtiss-Robertson Robin aircraft. Robertson left the company in 1933 when it merged into Curtiss-Wright

paragraph: In November 1929, the small town of Anglum, Missouri, located adjacent to Lambert field was renamed Robertson in honor of his contributions to aviation.

paragraph: On August 1, 1943, a WACO CG-4A military troop and cargo transport glider built under license by RAC crashed at Lambert Field in St. Louis during a demonstration flight when its right wing separated shortly after it had been released at by its Army C-47 tow plane killing all ten on board including Maj. Robertson. Robertson's then 17-year-old son, James, was a passenger in a successful flight of the glider made immediately before the fatal flight.
