paragraph: Bartolomeo Giuliano

paragraph: Bartolomeo Giuliano (Susa (Turin), 1825 – Milan, 1909) was an Italian painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Giuliano studied at the Albertina Academy in Turin and began presenting works on historical and literary subjects at the local Promotrice exhibitions in 1846. He was appointed assistant professor of figure drawing in Turin alongside Enrico Gamba in 1855 and then held the same position with Raffaele Casnédi in Milan, where he moved in 1860. He took part in the Esposizione Nazionale di Firenze in 1861 in Florence and became a regular participant in exhibitions in Turin and Milan with works on religious subjects, landscapes and genre scenes. He decorated the lunettes of the dome of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan with allegorical frescoes of Asia and Industry in 1866, but these were replaced shortly afterwards with the present mosaics. He presented views of the coast of Liguria at the Universal Exhibition of 1878 in Paris and in Venice at the Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte in 1895 and 1897. He also took part in the Esposizione Nazionale di Milano in 1906.

paragraph: Piero Giunni (1912, in Villa Cortese (Milan) – 2000, in Bondone (Trento)) was an Italian painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Giunni worked as a decorator and studied at the academies in Milan and Venice before the outbreak of World War II. He then made his debut in 1949 at the Galleria Annunciata, Milan, with landscapes set in the Po Valley. Contact with Art Informel in Paris in the 1950s led to a move towards non-figurative painting. He took part in the 6th Rome Quadrenniale in 1951 and the Venice Biennale of 1956, where he was awarded the prize for a young artist at the 18th Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte della Città di Venezia. The Galleria del Milione in Milan held a solo show of his work in 1962. From 1964 on, practically all of his painting took place at a mill in the countryside near Legnano, where he devoted himself to landscapes of the Po Valley and still lifes.

paragraph: Gregory "Greg" Ian Ball, OAM (born 29 May 1974) is an Australian Paralympic cyclist.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Ball was born in Ipswich, Queensland on 29 May 1974, and was diagnosed with transverse myelitis.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Ball first competed for Australia in 1998, winning and breaking the world record in the 1 km time trial at the World Titles in that year. He won a gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Games in the mixed Olympic Sprint LC1–3 event, for which he received a Medal of the Order of Australia. In 2002, he once again won the 1 km time trial event at the World Titles. At the 2004 Athens Games, he won two gold medals in the Men's 1 km Time Trial Bicycle LC1–4 and Men's Team Sprint LC1–4/CP 3/4 events. At the 2008 Beijing Games, he won a bronze medal in the Men's 1 km Time Trial LC3–4 event.

paragraph: On 4 February 2011, he broke a world record in the C1 men's 1 km time trial at the Scody Cycling Australia Track National Championships; it was the fastest time since a change in the classification system in 2010. He voluntarily took a drug test to ensure the validation of his record, and tested positive for the banned substance stanozolol, an anabolic steroid. He was provisionally suspended on 9 March 2011, and on 26 October 2011, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) announced that it had acknowledged the two-year ban imposed on Ball by Cycling Australia, backdated to the date of the provisional suspension. The ban prevented him from participating in the 2012 London Paralympics. He was also ordered to pay back $27,500 in grants to the Australian Sports Commission, and was stripped of his February 2011 world record. Ball said that taking the steroids was an honest mistake that had devastated him. In his submission to ASADA, he said that he had been suffering depression for the previous twelve months and admitted that he had taken "up to four tablets, the name and exact constituents of which he did not know at the time (and still does not know), obtained from a close friend"; he said that he believed the tablets were vitamins that would help him to recover from depression.

paragraph: Kikkawa Hiroie

paragraph: Hiroie's father was Kikkawa Motoharu and his mother was a daughter of Kumagai Nobunao. He initially was named "Tsunenobu" (経信) and made his debut on the battlefield on 1570 against Amago Katsuhisa with his father. On 1583, he was sent to then the "de facto" ruler Hashiba Hideyoshi as a hostage.

paragraph: From 1586 to 1587, his father and his elder brother Kikkawa Motonaga both died and he became the head of Kikkawa clan. Around this time, he changed his name to "Hiroie". Unlike his father and his elder brother who was known for the battlefield bravery, Hiroie preferred strategy and diplomacy to win on a battlefield and was highly praised by Hideyoshi for holding the Mōri clan together after the death of Kobayakawa Takakage. During the Seven-Year Korean War, he is noted for the defeat of a much larger Ming army at the battle of Ulsan castle.

paragraph: In the Battle of Sekigahara on 1600, Hiroie judged that the Tokugawa side would win. However, as one of the five leading elders of the Toyotomi government, Mōri Terumoto and several of the Mōri clan's retainers was supportive of the pro-Toyotomi forces led by Ishida Mitsunari. In order to ensure the survival of the clan, Hiroie made a secret pact with the Tokugawa side through Kuroda Nagamasa, promising to Mōri neutrality during the battle in exchange for guarantees of the existing Mōri domains.

paragraph: Although Mōri Terumoto was made the nominal commander-in-chief of the western army, he remained in the Osaka Castle. Instead, the Mōri field army joined the rest of the western forces under the command of Mōri Hidemoto, with Hiroie commanding the vanguards. On the day of the actual battle, September 15, the Mōri army deployed on the flank of the Tokugawa forces. However, when Hidemoto ordered an assault, Hiroie refused to comply and used the vanguards under his command to block off the attack routes. Hiroie was thus able to prevent the bulk of the Mōri army from engaging the Tokugawa troops.

paragraph: The bulk of the Mōri army therefore never actually took part in the battle. However, after Tokugawa Ieyasu emerged victorious, several documents incriminating Mōri Terumoto were found in the Osaka Castle. Ieyasu believed the documents showed that Terumoto was involved more deeply in the western army than Hiroie had presented, and thus voided their secret pact. Initially he wished to completely confiscate all Mōri domains and give two provinces to Hiroie as a reward.

paragraph: However the offer shocked Hiroie, whose motivation was to ensure the Mōri clan's survival. Eventually Ieyasu relented, and instead reduced the Mōri clan's domains to just two provinces under the condition that Mōri Terumoto retires. Although Hiroie succeeded in keeping the Mōri clan's "daimyō" status, the Mōri clan lost over 3 quarters of its former territories.

paragraph: Because Hiroie had proceeded with the secret negotiations without the clan's approval or knowledge, once the events came to light he came under intense attacks from his own clan. Many considered him a traitor, especially since it was felt that his actions during the battle was instrumental in the Tokugawa victory that led to the disastrous punishment. Hidemoto in particular would become his bitter rival in Mōri clan politics.

paragraph: After the battle, Terumoto gave a portion of his much reduced domain to Hiroie. He is therefore often mistakenly considered the first ruler of an Iwakuni han; however, unlike the Mōri shihans that were established for branches of the Mōri clan in the same period, Hiroie and his descendants were not made "daimyōs" in their own right until the Meiji Restoration. Instead, the Kikkawa family continued to be senior retainers of the Mōri clan until the end of the Bakufu, at which point the Iwakawa domain officially became a han.

paragraph: Hiroie worked for prosperity of his domain; he is remembered for having laid down a set of laws with 188 clauses (the "Kikkawa-shi hatto').

paragraph: In 1614, Hiroie was succeeded by Kikkawa Hiromasa, his eldest son.

paragraph: Hiroie died in 1626, twelve years after passing the clan leadership to his heir.

paragraph: Walter Berry (bass-baritone)

paragraph: Walter Berry (8 April 1929 – 27 October 2000) was an Austrian lyric bass-baritone who enjoyed a prominent career in opera. He has been cited as one of several exemplary operatic bass-baritones of his era.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Walter Berry was born in Vienna. He studied voice at the Vienna Music Academy and made his stage debut with the Vienna State Opera in 1947. He became a permanent member of the company in 1950, remaining with that ensemble for his entire career, although he undertook frequent guest appearances elsewhere in Europe and in the UK.

paragraph: In 1952 Berry made his first appearance at the Salzburg Festival, where he subsequently performed on a regular basis. While in Salzburg, he collaborated with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in a production of Wolfganag Amadeus Mozart's opera "Don Giovanni" with Leontyne Price and Elizabeth Schwarzkopf. While appearing in Vienna and Salzburg he interpreted an extensive operatic repertoire which included over one hundred roles. He received high praise for his interpretations of Franz Schubert's lieder as well as songs by Gustav Mahler. Included among his acclaimed renditions of sacred works were: Johann Sebastian Bach's "Passions" and Ludwig von Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis."

paragraph: He made many memorable appearances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City during the 1960s and 1970s in such roles as Barak in "Die Frau ohne Schatten", Telramund in "Lohengrin", Wotan in "Die Walküre", Baron Ochs in "Der Rosenkavalier", Don Pizarro in "Fidelio", Don Alfonso in "Così fan tutte", the Music Master in "Ariadne auf Naxos" and Leporello in "Don Giovanni". He sang his last Barak on 18 November 1984.

paragraph: Berry's other signature roles included: Papageno in Mozart's "The Magic Flute", Figaro in Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" and Bluebeard in Béla Bartók's "Bluebeard's Castle". He was also a noted interpreter of lieder and was accompanied often at recitals by the German pianist Sebastian Peschko. Berry also appeared in choral works. Performing in light-hearted operettas, particularly "Die Fledermaus", was one of his pleasures. Astonishingly, Berry never appeared in London in the role with which he perhaps became most closely linked, Papageno, despite an operatic career that spanned more than 40 years.

paragraph: Walter Berry married the leading mezzo-soprano Christa Ludwig in 1957 and collaborated with her both on stage and in several recordings. The couple was divorced in 1971.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Death.

paragraph: Walter Berry died in 2000 at the age of 71 in Vienna following a heart attack. He was entombed in the Heiligenstädter Friedhof cemetery (Part A, Group 1, Number 263) in Vienna.

paragraph: Section::::Recordings.

paragraph: Berry lent his talents to many highly regarded recordings, including the classic Otto Klemperer recordings of "The Magic Flute" (as Papageno) and "Fidelio" (as Don Pizarro), both for EMI. He also recorded Johann Sebastian Bach's sacred oratorio "St. Matthew Passion" for Columbia Records with Otto Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra in 1961 and years later for Deutsche Grammophon with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic in 1972.

paragraph: Also included among his recordings are performances in: Béla Bartók's "Bluebeard's Castle" (London Records), Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis" (Deutsche Grammophone), Franz Josef Haydn's "The Creation" (Deutsche Grammophon), Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" (Angel Seraphim) and Mozart's "Bastien und Bastienne" (Philips World Series).

paragraph: Critics at "Billboard" magazine noted that his collaboration with his wife Christa Ludwig in a recording of Bartók's "Bluebeard's Castle" was delivered with dramatic force and strength. In 1967 "Billboard"'s critics also praised his recording with Ludwig for RCA Victor of Richard Strauss's "Elektra", "Die Frau ohne Schatten" and "Der Rosenkavalier" as outstanding and worthy of Strauss' best traditions. Berry's definitive recordings have earned him the distinction of being cited as one of the truly exemplary bass baritones and basses in opera.

paragraph: Berry can be seen on DVD as Don Pizarro, opposite Ludwig, James King, and Josef Greindl; and as Papageno with Pilar Lorengar as Pamina; also as Leporello opposite Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Josef Greindl, in a German translation performance of "Don Giovanni".

paragraph: Rebel MC

paragraph: Michael Alec Anthony West (born 27 August 1964 in Islington, London), better known as Rebel MC, is an English jungle producer and toaster. He has also used the aliases Conquering Lion, Congo Natty, Blackstar, Tribe of Issachar, Lion of Judah, X Project and Ras Project. "Conquering Lion" is an abbreviation for "The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah", one of emperor Haile Selassie's many titles.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In the early 1980s, West formed the group Double Trouble with the now deceased Michael Menson, Karl Brown (more commonly known as the UK garage DJ Karl 'Tuff Enuff' Brown) and Leigh Guest; and released the single "Just Keep Rockin'" on the Desire record label in 1989 as Double Trouble and Rebel MC. The single was a UK Top 20 hit, and the follow-up "Street Tuff" (1989) was his biggest success, reaching #3 in the UK Singles Chart.

paragraph: Because of the style and content of these releases, West was often dismissed by a British hip hop community, distrustful of pop success and "selling out". His first album was "Rebel Music" (Desire, 1990) which included the popular dance track "Better World".

paragraph: His second album. "Black Meaning Good" (Desire, 1991) was a complete change of style for West, mixing his former pop-rap influences with reggae, hip hop, dance and the emerging jungle styles. The album featured ragga notables like Barrington Levy, Tenor Fly and Dennis Brown singing and toasting on top of reggae-house music rhythms.

paragraph: "Word, Sound and Power" (1992) was a further exploration of roots electronica that mashed up techno, house, reggae, ragga and hip hop music.

paragraph: Forming the Tribal Bass label, Rebel MC released "Tribal Bass" (1992), which was his last significant hit, reaching #20 in the UK charts, and the hip house track Demon Boyz "Dett" (1992) and the Oldschool Jungle track "Jungle-ist" (1993). The X Project label followed shortly with the "Old School Ting" (1993) single. As Conquering Lion, West, with help from DJ Ron and Jumping Jack Frost, released the sound system mash up "Lion of Judah/Innah Sound/Dub Plate Special" (1993). With vocals from Supercat, Conquering Lion's "Code Red/Phenomenon" (1994) caught the attention of 4th & Broadway who re-released the track along with "Rastaman/Word, Sound and Power/Code Black" (1995).

paragraph: Tribal Bass gradually mutated into Congo Natty, and West himself released some material under this name, before settling on the Conquering Lion name. However, this was not the last the world heard of Rebel MC. Despite his continued success with his new style of music, West released the single "Junglist" (Congo Natty, 2004) under the Rebel MC name, and followed this up with a greatest hits album "Born Again" (Congo Natty, 2005).

paragraph: New interest in the Double Trouble & Rebel MC song, "Just Keep Rockin" in December 2007, saw it re-enter the UK Dance Chart at #32.

paragraph: In the late 2000s, Congo Natty remixed "Land of Promise", a track by Nas & Damian Marley.

paragraph: In 2013, he released the album "Jungle Revolution", featuring the likes of General Levy, Top Cat, Tippa Irie, Tenor Fly and Nanci Correia.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Rebel MC's sound derives from his focus on blackness from various angles. Rather than solely celebrating Afrocentric motifs, his music hearkens back to the African diaspora. The lyrics embrace a wide range of approaches to blackness and black-pride, bringing a different understanding of tradition by combining the different voices, themes and styles drawn from all kinds of sources of "blackness", creating a "playful, vibrant, postracial utopia". This amalgamated version of modern thought has allowed for the emergence of a uniquely London version of politically charged hip hop. Paul Gilroy argues that Rebel MC's message prevents the existence of "the trope of race as family". Instead, Gilroy states that the London hip-hop culture allows for a healthy competition between African-American and Caribbean sounds to gain exposure.

paragraph: Charles Davis Lucas

paragraph: Rear Admiral Charles Davis Lucas VC (19 February 1834 – 7 August 1914) was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross.

paragraph: On 21 June 1854 in the Baltic, , with two other ships, was bombarding Bomarsund, a fort in the Åland Islands off Finland. The fire was returned from the fort, and at the height of the action a live shell landed on "Hecla" upper deck, with its fuse still hissing. All hands were ordered to fling themselves flat on the deck, but Lucas with great presence of mind ran forward and hurled the shell into the sea, where it exploded with a tremendous roar before it hit the water. Thanks to Lucas's action no one on board was killed or seriously wounded by the shell, and accordingly he was immediately promoted to lieutenant by his commanding officer.

paragraph: Section::::Further information.

paragraph: His act of bravery in "Hecla" was the first to be rewarded with the Victoria Cross. His later career included service on , , , , and . He was promoted to commander in 1862 and commanded the experimental armoured gunboat in 1867. He was promoted to captain in 1867, before retiring on 1 October 1873.

During his career he received the India General Service Medal with the bar Pegu 1852, the Baltic Medal 1854–55, and the Royal Humane Society Lifesaving Medal.

paragraph: In 1879 he married Frances Russell Hall, daughter of Admiral William Hutcheon Hall, who had been captain of "Hecla" in 1854. The couple had three daughters together. Lucas served for a time as Justice of the Peace for both Kent and Argyllshire, and died in Great Culverden, Kent on 7 August 1914. He is buried at St Lawrence's Church Mereworth, Maidstone, Kent.

paragraph: Section::::Medals.

paragraph: Nicholas Sheehy

paragraph: Father Nicholas Sheehy (1728–1766) was an 18th-century Irish Roman Catholic priest who was executed on charge of accessory to murder. Father Sheehy was a prominent and vocal opponent of the Penal Laws, which disenfranchised and persecuted Catholics in Ireland. His conviction is widely regarded as an act of judicial murder amongst supporters of Irish rebellion.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: His birthplace is the subject of debate but there a belief that Nicholas Sheehy was born in Fethard, Ireland, near Clonmel and grew up in a house near Newcastle on the Tipperary and Waterford border. His father was Francis, son of John of Drumcollogher.

paragraph: Nicholas Sheehy had a sister, Catherine (married as Catherine Burke), who later erected his gravestone. He also had a sister, Mrs Green. Nicholas had a cousin (Edmund Buck), who was hanged in 1776 at Clogheen on the same charges.

paragraph: Section::::Education, career and opposition to Penal Laws.

paragraph: Nicholas Sheehy was possibly educated in France. His training for the priesthood was at the Irish College in Salamanca. and, following a time as curate at Newcastle, County Tipperary, became the parish priest for Shanrahan, Ballysheehan, and Templetenny, County Tipperary.

paragraph: During this time, famine caused much suffering and death in Ireland. It is estimated that over 400,000 perished from malnutrition.

paragraph: Adding to the social unrest was a rumour that the Catholic French would invade Ireland. Part of this concern stemmed from the emigration of Irish soldiers who had left for France after the Treaty of Limerick known as the Flight of the Wild Geese. The concern was that these Irish would lobby the French monarch to support the Catholics in Ireland. This led to new persecutions of Catholic Irish and their priests.

paragraph: Sheehy spoke out against the Penal Laws, the eviction of poor tenants by Anglo-Irish landlords, the elimination of common land by enclosure, and compulsory tithes. These tithes were due to the Protestant Church of Ireland and its clergy. To anyone who would not or could not pay, the tithes were often seized by force and given to the local Protestant minister. Father Sheehy believed that this practice was unjust since they were levied on impoverished Catholics to benefit the wealthiest.

paragraph: Section::::Accusations and trials.

paragraph: Section::::Accusations and trials.:First trial (conspiracy against the State).

paragraph: Sheehy's beliefs led him into conflict with local Protestant leaders around Clonmel. In time, he was accused of conspiracy against the State (for involvement in a Whiteboys riot that destroyed a wall that prevented access to common land near Clogheen). After a trial in Dublin the accused was acquitted.

paragraph: Section::::Accusations and trials.:New allegations.

paragraph: Following his acquittal, Sheehy was accused of involvement in the disappearance or murder of an informer. A reward of £50 was offered by the government for allegations that led to conviction in this case. Father Sheehy went into hiding at this time.

paragraph: Section::::Accusations and trials.:Second trial (High Treason).

paragraph: In 1764, the government issued a Proclamation and offered £300 reward for the capture of Sheehy. When he read the Proclamation, Sheehy wrote from one of his hiding places to Thomas Waite (Under-Secretary for Ireland) and offered to surrender only if he would be tried in Dublin. The offer was accepted and the trial took place on 10 February 1766, when he was acquitted of High Treason.

paragraph: Immediately after his acquittal, Sheehy was charged with murder.

paragraph: Section::::Accusations and trials.:Third trial (accessory to murder) and death sentence.

paragraph: On 12 March 1766, Sheehy was tried at Clonmel Main Guard for being an accessory in the murder of John Bridge. The judge Richard Clayton (Irish judge) had the reputation of an honest and humane man, but he had arrived in Ireland only the previous year and seems to have been quite unaware of the political background to the trial.

paragraph: Many of the witnesses who had previously testified against Sheehy also testified in this trial, in addition to Mrs. Mary Brady (Moll Dunlea), an "abandoned character". The evidence was widely considered as fabricated by local Anglo-Irish landowners and the Anglican Vicar of Clogheen in south County Tipperary.

paragraph: Evidence was presented in favour of Sheehy, that he was "a respectable man and a man of property" by a Mr Keating, who said that Father Sheehy was in his house at the time of the murder. Mr Keating's testimony was dismissed in court by a Protestant clergyman (Mr Hewitson), who declared Keating was unreliable. Mr Keating was then arrested and sent to Kilkenny Gaol based on Mr Hewitson's allegations to frustrate his giving evidence. Although the judge was later much criticised for his conduct of the trial, it has been argued that his summing up was actually favourable to the accused.

paragraph: Sheehy was convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. He asserted his innocence before his death of all the charges made against him. He said in his final speech, after sentenced to death, that he was being put to death for a crime which had never been committed; the murder victim (John Bridge) was alleged to be in Cork after the date of the "crime" and it is thought that he emigrated to Newfoundland.

paragraph: Sheehy's attorney, on hearing the sentence of death, said to the judge, magistrates and jurors, "If there is any justice in heaven, you will die roaring.".

paragraph: Section::::Execution.

paragraph: In 1766, Father Sheehy was hanged, drawn and quartered at Clonmel on 15 March 1766.

paragraph: Others accused were also convicted for the murder of John Bridge and executed (3 May 1766), including Edmond Sheehy, cousin to the priest.

paragraph: Father Sheehy was hanged on a scaffold in Clonmel opposite St. Peters and Paul's Church, where there was a plaque to commemorate his death. His head was severed and stuck on a spike over Clonmel Gaol as a warning against agrarian violence. His head remained above the porch at Clonmel jail for ten or twenty years.

paragraph: His sister Catherine regularly visited the jail and was eventually given the head. She took it home in a bag under her arm and had it buried with the rest of his body beside the ruins of the old church of Shanrahan.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: To this day, Father Sheehy is regarded as a martyr. In the late 19th century and early 20th century there was an effort to have him canonised, which reportedly was dropped after the records collected for his cause were destroyed in a fire.

paragraph: His trial and execution inflamed and polarised nationalist opinion, and had a great effect on his cousin Edmund Burke.

paragraph: People visited his grave at Shanrahan cemetery near Clogheen to take clay, because it was rumoured to have healing powers. It is claimed that out of respect, birds didn't peck his head for the twenty years it was left on the spike.

paragraph: Pietro Perna

paragraph: Pietro Perna (1519 – 16 August 1582) was an Italian printer, the leading printer of Late Renaissance Basel, the Erasmian crossroads between Italian Renaissance humanism and the Protestant Reformation. His books promoted the Italian heretical thinkers at the origins of Socinianism and the theory of Tolerance. He was a major publisher of Protestant historians like Flacius Illyricus and David Chytraeus and promoted the ars historica treatises of the period, notably the 18 "authores de historia" in Artis Historicae Penus (1579).

paragraph: A native of Lucca and a Dominican, he arrived in Basel in 1544 as a disciple of the reformer Pietro Martire Vermigli and with the help of Pietro Carnesecchi. As a printer he started as an assistant to the renowned Johannes Oporinus and set up a press of his own in 1558. As a bookseller and apprentice printer he established a network of Italian connections that helped him act as a go between and publisher of Italian reformed thinkers and writers, such as Vermigli, Pier Paolo Vergerio, Jacopo Aconcio, Bernardino Ochino, Lelio Sozzini, Sebastian Castellio, Celio Secondo Curione, etc. He published the editio princeps of the original Greek text of the Enneads of Plotinus. He produced important editions of Machiavelli and Bodin, Guicciardini and Lodovico Castelvetro. He published works of Paracelsus and various Paracelsians but also served as the chief printer of Paracelsus's leading critic Thomas Erastus. In 1570 Perna sent the artist Tobias Stimmer to Como to copy the famous collection of historical portraits in the Giovio Collection. Stimmer's distinctive woodcuts decorate numerous editions of Paolo Giovio, brought out by Perna and Heinrich Petri. The Basel doctor and polymath Theodor Zwinger was his close collaborator. Perna died of the plague and was buried in St. Peter's Church.

paragraph: Semenkare Nebnuni

paragraph: Semenkare Nebnuni (also Nebnun and Nebnennu) is a poorly attested pharaoh of the early 13th Dynasty during the Second Intermediate Period. According to Egyptologists Darrell Baker and Kim Ryholt, Nebnuni was the ninth ruler of the 13th dynasty. Alternatively, Jürgen von Beckerath and Detlef Franke see him as the eighth king of the dynasty.

paragraph: Section::::Attestation.

paragraph: Nebnuni's name is given in the Turin canon on column 7, line 11 (Gardiner col. 6, line 11). The length of Nebnuni's reign is mostly lost in a lacuna of the papyrus, except for the end ""[...] and 22 days"".

paragraph: The only contemporary attestation of Nebnuni is a faience stele showing the king before Ptah ""South of his wall"", a memphite epithet of the god, and on the other before Horus, ""Lord of the foreign countries"".

paragraph: The stele is also inscribed with Nebnuni's nomen and prenomen. The stele was discovered at Gebel el-Zeit on the Red Sea coast in the Sinai, where mines of galena were located.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: The Egyptologist Kim Ryholt credits Nebnuni with a reign of 2 years, from 1785 BC until 1783 BC. Alternatively, Egyptologists Rolf Krauss, Detlef Franke and Thomas Schneider give Nebuni only 1 year of reign in 1739 BC.

paragraph: Although little is known of Nebnuni's reign, the existence of his stele shows that during this period, rulers of the 13th dynasty still wielded sufficient power to organize mining expeditions in the Sinai for the supply of construction materials and the production of luxury items.

paragraph: Finally, Ryholt points to the lack of royal connections between Nebnuni and his predecessor. He thus concludes that Nebnuni may have usurped the throne.

paragraph: Max Schneckenburger

paragraph: Max Schneckenburger (17 February 1819 – 3 May 1849) was a German poet. The patriotic hymn "Die Wacht am Rhein" uses the text of a poem Schneckenburger wrote in 1840.

paragraph: Schneckenburger was born in Talheim near Tuttlingen, Württemberg. The younger brother of Matthias Schneckenburger, he was a co-owner of an iron blast furnace company, and his business sent him across the Rhine River to Switzerland. Due to this connection, a first version of his poem was set to music and performed there in 1840 by local musicians. This Bern version is now largely forgotten. Schneckenburger died in Burgdorf near Bern.

paragraph: The well-known music to his poem was composed by Karl Wilhelm in 1854, five years after his death.

paragraph: After the use of the song in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 made him and Wilhelm famous, his widow and two sons were granted an annual pension of 3,000 Mark by Otto von Bismarck's Reichskanzleramt. The rest of his German songs were published in Stuttgart in 1870.

paragraph: On 18 July 1886, Schneckenburger's remains were returned to his native town Talheim in the German Empire.

paragraph: Section::::Quote.

paragraph: In a political essay of Schneckenburger in 1840, he calls for a re-arrangement of the "patch work" European borders into national areas, according to languages spoken, similar to the ideas espoused by Ernst Moritz Arndt.

paragraph: He also called for secure borders with neighboring countries.

paragraph: Tom McClean

paragraph: Tom McClean is a veteran of both the Parachute Regiment and the SAS and is a survival expert who lived on the island of Rockall from 26 May to 4 July 1985 to affirm Britain's claim to it; this is the third longest human occupancy of the island, surpassed in 1997 by a team from Greenpeace which spent 42 days on the island, and in 2014 by Nick Hancock who spent 45 days there.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Having been abandoned as a baby, McClean started life as an orphan. He spent much of his teenage years working on a farm until he was bored and enlisted in the British Army. After Blyth and Ridgway rowed the Atlantic in 1966, McClean announced to both that he was going to complete this alone.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: McClean started his military career in the Parachute Regiment and then progressed into the SAS for a total of nine years.

paragraph: Section::::Civilian life.

paragraph: Following his retirement from military service, McClean gained fame for numerous feats of endurance. He holds the world record as the first man to row across the Atlantic Ocean from west to east solo which he did in 1969. In 1982 he sailed across the Atlantic in the smallest boat to accomplish that crossing. The self-built boat measured 9 feet and 9 inches, and because of the weight of the food took seven weeks to cross. His record was broken three weeks later by a sailor manning a 9 feet and 1 inch long boat. In response McClean, used a chainsaw to cut two feet off his own vessel - making it 7 feet and 9 inches long. During the return trip he lost his mast and the journey took even longer than his first attempt but he regained the record.

paragraph: In 1985 McClean lived on Rockall from 26 May to 4 July and thereby reaffirmed the United Kingdom's claim to the island. Two years later, the then 44-year-old McClean set about regaining his transatlantic rowing record and achieved his goal crossing the Atlantic in 54 days; a record still held.

paragraph: In 1990 McClean completed a west-east crossing in a 37 ft bottle-shaped vessel, which had been constructed at Market Harborough by Springer Engineering, a firm with a past history of steel fabrication and narrowboat construction. The Typhoo Atlantic Challenger sailed from New York to Falmouth, England. This vessel is now preserved at Fort William Diving Centre. McClean's most recent feat was the construction, in 1996, of a boat shaped like a giant whale, which completed a circumnavigation of Britain. The boat, 'Moby' Prince of Whales, stands 25 ft high and 65 ft long. It has a spout which can launch water as high as 6 metres in the air. The Moby Dick, as of 2017, is in the process of conversion to electric power for an Atlantic crossing.

paragraph: Mansuetus (bishop of Toul)

paragraph: Saint Mansuetus (; died 375) was the first Bishop of Toul.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Mansuetus is thought to have been of Irish or Scottish origin. After religious studies in Rome, he was sent by Pope Damasus I to evangelize Gaul, becoming the first Bishop of Toul in 365. Little is known about the details of his life; he is believed to have erected a church dedicated to St. Peter and to have spent nearly four decades preaching in the Lequois region, which efforts were met with considerable success. He died in Thulium while serving as itinerant bishop of Belgian prim.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: Mansuetus is recognized as a saint according to the Pre-Congregation standards for canonization. Tradition holds that he is responsible for the healing of lepers and for restoring the life of the drowned son of the prince of Toul. His Feast day is celebrated on September 3 in the Diocese of Soul and on August 31 in Saint-Dié .

paragraph: According to the "Vita Sancti Gerardi", Bishop St. Gerard I of Toul (r. 963–994) had the relics of both Mansuetus and Aprus brought into Toul and placed in the church of St. John the Baptist while he was ill. Later, in 1790, Mansuetus' relics were divided among the canons of the church of Toul, to prevent them from being destroyed by revolutionaries.

paragraph: Section::::Gallery.

paragraph: Iconography is found on the shrine of Vittel and a brotherhood statue, belonging to the Church of Fontenoy-le-Château. There are parish churches dedicated to St. Mansuy in Bouvron, Fontenoy-le-Château, Loisey-Culey, Nancy, Serécourt. The village of Dommary-Baroncourt had a church of that name, but it was destroyed in 1974.
