paragraph: Ammar ibn Yasir

paragraph: ʻAmmār ibn ʻYāsir ibn Āmir ibn Mālik Abū al-Yaqzān () was one of the Muhajirun in the history of Islam and, for his dedicated devotion to Islam's cause, is considered to be one of the most loyal and beloved companions of Muhammad and ‘Ali; thus, he occupies a position of the highest prominence in Islam. Historically, Ammar ibn Yasir is the first Muslim to build a mosque. He is also referred to by Shia Muslims as one of the Four Companions. Muslims consider Ammar's ultimate fate to be unique among the fates of Muhammad's companions, for they perceive his death at the battle of Siffin as the decisive distinguisher between the righteous group and the sinful one in the First Fitna.

paragraph: Section::::Era of Muhammad.

paragraph: Section::::Era of Muhammad.:Before conversion to Islam.

paragraph: ʻAmmar belonged to Banu Makhzum tribe in Hijaz (current-day Saudi Arabia). He was born in the Year of the Elephant, which was the same year as Muhammad's birth, in Mecca and was one of the intermediaries in the Muhammad's marriage to Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. His father, Yasir ibn Amir, was from the tribe of Qahtan in Yemen and migrated to Mecca and settled down there by marrying Sumayyah bint Khayyat, a slave woman; Ammar and his parents, Yasir and Sumayyah, were slaves to Abu Huzaifa, but upon his death, Abu Jahl -who became later one of Islam's most brutal enemies and the infamous torturer of Ammar and his parents- took them over as his slaves. Ammar's trust in and knowledge of Muhammad's credibility, even before his prophethood, encouraged him to follow Muhammad's prophetic visions as one of the earliest converts.

paragraph: ʻAmmar converted to Islam in 614 or 615 CE under the direct influence of Abu Bakr. This coincided with the period when the Quraysh were persecuting the lower-class Muslims. As Ammar later told his grandson: "I met Suhayb ibn Sinan at the door of the house of Al-Arqam while the Messenger of Allah was in it. I asked him, 'What do you want?' He said to me, 'What do you want?' I answered, 'I want to go to Muhammad and listen to what he says.' He said, 'That is what I want.' We entered and he presented Islam to us and we became Muslim. Then we spent the day until evening and went out concealing ourselves". Ammar's father, mother and brother also became Muslims, though not at Abu Bakr's invitation.

paragraph: When Quraysh knew of the conversion of Yasir's family to Islam, they were among the "victims who were tortured at Makka to make them recant". The Makhzum clan used to take out Ammar ibn Yasir with his father and mother in the heat of the day and expose them to the excessively-hot environment of Mecca and torture them in the scorches of the open fire, and Muhammad used to pass by them and say, "Patience, O family of Yasir! Your meeting-place will be Paradise"Ibn Ishaq/Guillaume p. 145. and "O fire! Be cool and harmless for ‘Ammar in the same manner in which you became cool and harmless for Ibrahim;” consequently, Ammar had scars on his body from the torture for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Ammar was tortured "until he did not know what he was saying," as was his friend Suhayb; in that state, he eventually maligned Muhammad and spoke well of the pagan gods. Afterwards he went to Muhammad and confessed his recantation. Muhammad asked, "How do you find your heart?" When Ammar replied that he was still a Muslim in his heart, Muhammad said all was well. A verse of the Qur'an, ""someone forced to do it whose heart remains at rest in its faith"" (16:106), refers to Ammar. Ammar's mother was murdered by Abu Jahl for her refusal to abandon Islam: she is considered the first Muslim martyr. The opening verses of Surat Al-Ankabut (chapter 29: The Spider) were revealed in response to this tragic event.

paragraph: To escape the torture of the Meccans at the time, it is reportedly alleged that Ammar went to Abyssinia in 616, but Ibn Ishaq doubts this.

paragraph: Section::::Era of Muhammad.:After conversion to Islam.:Battles under Muhammad.

paragraph: He was one of the few warriors who participated in the first major battle in Islam, the Battle of Badr. Typically, Muhammad's elite forces usually included the closest companions of his, namely Ali, Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib, Mus`ab ibn `Umair, Az-Zubair bin Al-'Awwam, 'Ammar ibn Yasir, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, Abu Bakr and Umar. Of noteworthy mention, because of the austere nature of the Muslims' living conditions at the time, they brought only some camels and few horses, meaning that they either had to walk or fit three to four men per camel; nonetheless, despite the harsh conditions that the sahabah had to contend with, Ammar was highly renowned and respected for his devout dedication to all the arduous battles with the Muslims even after Muhammad's death.

paragraph: Besides his major involvement in Islam's military campaigns, this incident in Muhammad's life proved to be of most importance -historically- to Muslims: while ʻAmmār was participating in building The Prophet's Mosque in Medina, (quoting a hadith) "[and he] came in when they had overloaded him with bricks saying, 'They are killing me. They load me with burdens they can't carry themselves.' Umm Salama the prophet's wife said: I saw the apostle run his hand through is hair--for he was a curly-haired man--and say 'Alas Ibn Sumayya! It is not they who will kill you but a wicked band of men.'...Now he had a stick in his hand and the apostle was angry and said, 'What is wrong between them and ʻAmmār? He invites them to Paradise while they invite him to hell.'" These reports, viewed as valid by both Sunnis and Shi'is, would later be important during the issue of succession and particularly in interpreting ʻAmmār's death in the Battle of Siffin.

paragraph: Section::::Role after Muhammad's death.

paragraph: After the death of Muhammad in 632 CE, ʻAmmar refused to give Bay'ah (allegiance) to Abu Bakr, he instead followed Ali ibn Abi Talib whom he believed to be the legitimate successor of Muhammad and the only one whom Muhammad had appointed as his successor.

paragraph: Under ʻUmar, he became governor of Kufa, however he was soon removed from power by Umar; on one account, the reasons behind his dismissal were not -officially & completely- known. On another account, however, Umar dismissed Ammar to avoid unrest in Kufa (because of unfair complaints brought against Ammar by his political enemies).

paragraph: During Uthman ibn Affan's election in the shura and before his eventual overthrowal, Ammar warningly predicted the upcoming conflict if anyone but Ali got elected and said that "If you do not want to cause a dispute among the Muslims, you have to give the pledge of allegiance to Ali". Under the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan however, Ammar eventually befoed him; although the details of their hostilities towards each other are debatable.

paragraph: Section::::Role after Muhammad's death.:Battle of the Camel.

paragraph: Prior to the events of the Battle of the Camel, a shura was set up in an attempt to decide a successor after ʿUthmān's death; at this meeting, attendees were not in agreement regarding whether retaliation for ʿUthmān's murder was necessary or not. A report of ʻAlqama b. Waqqas al-Laythi of Kinana indicates that ʻAmmār said that they should not seek revenge. Madelung interprets ʻAmmār's behavior at this meeting indicating his desire to keep Talha from gaining power because Talha was in favor of seeking retaliation. ʻAmmār would not have wanted this since "he had been the most active in inciting the rebels to action".

paragraph: As the battle was developing, ʻAmmār continued to show his support for ʿAlī in multiple ways. ʿAlī first sent him along with al-Hasan to Kufa in order to try to rally the Kufans to help during the upcoming battle. According to one report recorded by al-Tabari, ʻAmmār was questioned upon arrival for participating in ʿUthmān's murder; however, he continued to try to convince the governor, Abu Musa, to take a stance instead of remaining impartial in the conflict. Al-Tabari reports how Abu Musa had encouraged the Kufans to remain neutral because he did not want to participate in inter-Muslim fighting, and he also believed that the Muslim community still owed their allegiance to ʿUthmān because no new successor had been named. An additional transmission of the same event does not mention ʻAmmār's actions against ʿUthmān and instead focuses on his intentions to sway Abu Musa into action.

paragraph: During the actual battle, ʻAmmār fought on ʿAlī's side. Al-Tabari includes in his history an account in which al-Zubayr is told that ʻAmmār is fighting alongside ʿAlī, and this knowledge causes al-Zubayr to be fearful because he had been with Muhammad and ʻAmmār when Muhammad had told ʻAmmār that he would be killed by "a wicked band of men". Al-Tabari again includes multiple reports of the same event, which in this case is a moment during the battle in which ʻAmmār and al-Zubayr confront each other. In both accounts ʻAmmār approaches al-Zubayr to attack him, when al-Zubayr speaks. In the report from 'Umar b. Shabbah, al-Zubayr asks ʻAmmār, "Do you want to kill me?" whereas in that from 'Amir b. Hafs, al-Zubayr asks, "Are you going to kill me, Abu al Yaqzan?" In both reports, ʻAmmār's response is negative. At the end of the battle, which is successful for ʿAlī's side, ʿAlī orders ʻAmmār and Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr remove Aisha from her camel and bring her to 'Abdallah ibn Khalaf al-Khuza I's home in Basrah; because Al-Tabari repeatedly cites multiple reports from different transmitters, such variations in the consistency of the incidents' details -at that time- renders the reported nature of the consequential meeting of ʻAmmār and ʻA'ishah unclear: for one account displays ʻA'ishah as hostile towards ʻAmmār, whereas another later report describes the two as being on much more amicable terms.

paragraph: Section::::Role after Muhammad's death.:Martyrdom in the Battle of Siffin.

paragraph: While strategising about how to defeat Muawiyah I's forces, ʿAlī gathered together a group of the Islamic ruling elite that included ʻAmmār, Hashim ibn Utbah, and Qays ibn Sa'd who, collectively, encouraged ʿAlī to wage jihad against who they considered to be in the wrong early and preemptively. Malik Al-Ashtar also shared this opinion (albeit in a different incident). Later in the battle, ʻAmmār's name was brought up during an attempt to negotiate a truce between ʿAlī, represented by Shabath ibn Rib'i, and Muʿāwiya. Shabath is reported to have asked Muʿāwiya, "Would it make you happy, O Muʿāwiya, if you were given power over ʻAmmār, to kill him?" Muʿāwiya's response was, "Why should I not? But, by God, if I were given power over Ibn Sumayya, I would not kill him in revenge for ʿUthmān [only] but for Natil the mawla of ʿUthmān". Shabath's response was defensive and protective of ʻAmmār. In the Battle at Siffin in Al-Sham, ʿAlī placed ʻAmmār in charge of the Kufan infantry, and on the third day of fighting he tries to inspire his forces to victory by reminding them of the impiety of Muʿāwiya and his troops. Eventually, ʻAmmār was martyred in the battle by the forces of Muʿāwiya ibn Abī Sufyān in 657.

paragraph: While reports vary as to Ammar's exact age, most place him at ninety years or older. Madelung puts him at over 90 years old; whereas Hasson states he was somewhere between 90 and 94. According to one report Tabari provides, ʻAbdallah b. Amr questions his father, ʻAmr b.al-As, about killing ʻAmmār. ʻAbdallah references the hadith in which Muhammad tells ʻAmmār that the "usurping party" will kill him. ʻAmr brings this concern to Muʿāwiya whose response is "Was it we who killed ʻAmmār? It was only those who brought him here".Ali ibn abi Talib is said to have responded that if he killed Ammar then Muhammad is the one who killed Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Mohammad willed 'Ammar ibn Yasir as one of the four Sahabas whose guidance should be heeded by Muslims and also being those promised paradise.

paragraph: When Ammar 'died, Muʿāwiya referred to him as "one of ʿAlī's two right hands" with the other being Malik al-Ashtar. Madelung quotes Al-Tabari by reporting what Muʿāwiya said to his followers after killing Imam Ali's other loyal companion, Malik al-Ashtar: "Ali b. Abi Talib had two right hands. One of them was cut at Siffin', meaning ʻAmmār b. Yasir, 'and the other today', meaning al-Ashtar". Despite Muʿāwiya's provocations, ʻAli ibn Abi Talib, the Caliph at the time, highly valued the support of 'Ammar ibn Yasir and Malik al-Ashtar nonetheless. ʻAli mourned 'Ammar's loss deeply. In the 20th century, former Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, was nicknamed "Abu Ammar" after Ammar ibn Yasser.

paragraph: ʻAmmar's shrine, prior to its destruction, was frequently visited and paid tribute to by Muslims.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.:Shrine desecration.

paragraph: On March 11, 2013 Al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front was blamed for the bombing and damage to the shrine of Ammar ibn Yasir located in Raqqa, Syria. The terrorist group al-Nursa, an al-Qaeda linked group, and other Salafi/Wahabi rebels are blamed for the sacrilegious act. On March 13, 2013, a group of Syrian rebels claimed responsibility for the destruction of Ammar's shrine. This attack along with the destruction of Hujr ibn Adi's shrine, Syeda Zaynab bint Ali's shrine, and Syeda Ruqayya bint Husain ibn Ali's shrine have been correlated to the Wahabbi movement.

paragraph: The destruction of ʻAmmar's shrine was condemned by Muslims and sparked outrage in various parts of the Muslim world.

paragraph: John William Gamble

paragraph: John William Gamble (July 5, 1799 – December 12, 1873) was a businessman and political figure in Upper Canada and Canada West.

paragraph: He was born in York, Upper Canada (now Toronto) in 1799 and grew up in Kingston. He was the son of John Gamble (1755–1811), a Loyalist surgeon with the Queen's Rangers. His mother, Isabella Elizabeth Clarke (25 October 1757 – 9 March 1859), was the daughter of Dr. Joseph Clarke, also a Loyalist – who was thus persecuted, and whose brother, Dr. Nehemiah Clarke ( – 1825), was tortured by a rebel mob in February 1774.

paragraph: Gamble operated a store with his brother William. Gamble settled in Etobicoke Township, but later moved to Pine Grove in Vaughan Township, where he set up a grist mill, a distillery and cloth factory. He served 14 terms as reeve for the township. He also served as justice of the peace in the Home District and served in the local militia. In 1838, he was elected in 1st York to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada. He opposed the Union of the two Canadas in 1841, but later represented South York in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1851 to 1857. Originally supporting free trade, he later opposed reciprocity in trade with the United States.

paragraph: Gamble acquired the mill, located on the Humber River, just north of Bloor Street, in 1828. Around it he built a lumber yard and nail factory. The original wooden structure burned down in 1848, and Gamble replaced it with an impressive five story stone mill. At the time the mill was known as Gamble's Mill. The impressive ruins, visible from the Toronto Transit Commission's Old Mill subway station, are the last trace of a series of mills on the Humber, is now known simply as the Old Mill.

paragraph: He died in Pine Grove in 1873.

He studied medicine, specialising in pharmacology, in Heidelberg, where he became associate professor of pharmacology in 1904. In 1908 he became the first professor of pharmacology in Utrecht, where he spent the rest of his working life.

paragraph: Had he lived, he likely would have been awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on animal reflexes. The authors of Nobel, the Man and his Prizes by H.Schück et al., edited by the Nobel Foundation (2nd ed. Amsterdam, 1962, p.311) wrote of Magnus and his co-worker De Kleyn: ‘The examiner [1927] declared that the work done by Magnus and De Kleyn clearly deserved a prize, and the prospects for an award seemed most favourable when Magnus unexpectedly died.’ For his life and work see, Rudolf Magnus, Physiologist and Pharmacologist: A Biography (2002, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) by his son, Dr.Otto Magnus.

paragraph: Magnus had five children, Karl (1903-1989) lung specialist; Margarete (Gretl)(1905-1968)who worked as his secretary and translator; Dorothea who died aged 11; Erica (1909-1991) architect; and Otto (1913-2014) neurologist.

paragraph: Magnus is most widely known for his work as a physiologist. His book "Körperstellung" ("Posture")., a study of functional neurology, is his best known work.

paragraph: Section::::Academic work.

paragraph: In 1901, while in Germany, Magnus discovered the diuretic effect of the excretions of the pituitary gland. From 1908, Rudolf Magnus worked on the physiology of posture and muscle tension. Although he was a pharmacologist, this research made him world famous. His most famous book, "Körperstellung", was published in Berlin in 1924, and translated into English in 1987. In this book Magnus describes the reflexes involved in mammal posture. The Magnus & De Kleijn reflexes are named after Magnus and his colleague Adriaan de Kleijn (1883–1949). The head and neck reflexes of mammals cause the body to follow automatically when the head moves. He also researched the reflexes of the intestines and phenomena such as motion sickness.

paragraph: The pharmacological research of Rudolf Magnus was focussed on the effect of medication on the heart, blood vessels, lungs and the gastrointestinal tract. Thus he studied the effects of narcotics, as well as poison gasses on the lungs. He conducted the poison gas study during World War I (1914—1918) when he served as an army doctor in Germany.

paragraph: Magnus was very fond of ice skating and would give his whole laboratory staff time off when the temperature was below freezing.

paragraph: Section::::Rudolf Magnus Institute.

paragraph: Originally the pharmacology department in Utrecht was housed in an old hospital for victims of the plague (built in 1567), named "Leeuwenbergh". Magnus convinced the Rockefeller Foundation to give him the money to build a new laboratory. In 1926, Magnus laid the first stone for this new institute in Utrecht on the Vondellaan, named "Nieuw Leeuwenbergh". In 1968, David de Wied renamed the building the "Rudolf Magnus Institute". Due to his death in 1927 Rudolf Magnus never worked there himself. Today the building is no longer in use as a laboratory.

paragraph: The "Rudolf Magnus Institute for Neuroscience" still exists and is one of the research institutes of the University Medical Center Utrecht, where neuroscientific research is performed. The Anatomical Museum in Utrecht houses Rudolf Magnus' archive.

paragraph: Theobald III, Count of Blois

paragraph: Theobald III of Blois (French: "Thibaut") (1012–1089) was count of Blois, Meaux and Troyes. He was son of Odo II, Count of Blois and Ermengarde of Auvergne.

paragraph: Upon his father's death in 1037, Theobald inherited amongst others the counties of Blois, Tours, Chartres. Châteaudun and Sancerre, and also in Champagne: Château-Thierry, Provins and St. Florentin. His brother Stephen inherited the counties of Meaux, Troyes and Vitry-le-François. By 1044, Geoffrey Martel, the Count of Anjou, was besieging Tours and Theobald responded by attempting to relieve the city. They met in battle at Nouy and Theobald was captured and had to give up the county of Touraine in order to regain his freedom. From then on the centre of power for the House of Blois moved to Champagne.

paragraph: In 1054, Theobald recognized the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry III as his liege which precipitated a meeting at Ivois between Henry I and the emperor. Theobald found ways to become close to the royal court again and gained political influence and began calling himself, Count Palatine.

paragraph: Section::::Gains Champagne.

paragraph: Theobald's nephew, Odo, Count of Champagne joined the army of William the Conqueror and participated in the Norman conquest of England. Theobald used his nephew's absence and his own influence at court to gain control over Odo's possessions in Champagne.

paragraph: Paddy Keenan

paragraph: Paddy Keenan (born 30 January 1950) is an Irish player of the uilleann pipes who first gained fame as a founding member of The Bothy Band. Since that group's dissolution in the late 1970s, Keenan has released a number of solo and collaborative recordings, and continues to tour both as a soloist, and with singer/guitarist Tommy O'Sullivan.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:The early years.

paragraph: Paddy Keenan was born in Trim, County Meath in 1950 to John Keenan (an Irish Traveller) and Mary Bravender Keenan (of settled descent). Though the Keenan family abandoned the Traveling lifestyle early in Paddy's life, he spent much of his youth contending with discrimination, including regular physical confrontations. His father and grandfather both played the pipes, and his father spent many nights playing along with piper Johnny Doran. When he was about six years old, Keenan was introduced to the tin whistle by his brother Johnny (a notable Irish banjo player), and began playing the pipes around age nine.

paragraph: Recognizing his son's interest, John Keenan tutored Paddy, along with neighbouring children, including Finbar Furey and Davy Spillane. During this period, the Keenan household was an ongoing session. At age fourteen, Keenan played his first major concert at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin, followed by a few years of touring with a number of musicians, including his father, as "The Pavees." At seventeen, Keenan went to England in an attempt to escape the strictness of his father's household, and ended up busking around London, singing and playing blues and rock songs on guitar for most of the following four years. After nearly selling or throwing away his pipes several times, he discovered in 1971 that busking with them was far more lucrative than with the guitar, and resumed his piping career.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early groups and The Bothy Band.

paragraph: Returning to Dublin, Keenan played regularly with his brothers and father at folk clubs and various venues around Ireland. In 1975, he was part of a band called 'Seachtar', from the Irish word for 'seven people.' This band was the genesis of The Bothy Band, of which Keenan was a mainstay from its inception to its demise in 1979.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:A solo career.

paragraph: Keenan's first (and eponymous) solo album appeared in 1975, and he also duetted with fiddler Paddy Glackin on the 1978 album "Doublin". He subsequently recorded a second solo album for Gael-Linn Records, "Poirt An Phiobaire", in 1983.

paragraph: After rejecting the chance to join Moving Hearts in the early 1980s, Keenan's musical career went into abeyance. However, in the 1990s he relocated to North America, rediscovered his musical talents and in 1997 issued "Na Keen Affair", recorded at Dadyeen Studios, St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada. Supporting musicians include Tommy Peoples and Patrick Moran on fiddle, Arty McGlynn and Tommy O'Sullivan on guitar, as well as Newfoundland musicians. This led to an ongoing musical relationship with the London-born, Kerry-based guitarist Tommy O'Sullivan. Together, the pair issued "The Long Grazing Acre" in 2001, touring jointly to promote the album. According to their respective websites, Keenan and O'Sullivan have continued to perform together periodically since 2001.

paragraph: The 2008 documentary "" tells the story of his 3000-mile cross-cultural musical adventure with Liam Ó Maonlaí (Hothouse Flowers) and friends, and features performances from the Festival au Désert.

paragraph: Section::::Pipes and Pipemakers.

paragraph: Upon demonstrating and aptitude for, and interest in the pipes around the age of ten, John Keenan got Paddy a full set of pipes by John Clarks. Six years later, in 1966, Keenan's father bought him a full set made by the Crowley family, which (with the addition of a Leo Rowsome chanter), Paddy played until 2000. At that point, Keenan received a full set from maker Dave Williams of Grimsby, England, who died a few years later in a car accident.

paragraph: This set, which was a copy of the previous Crowley set, remains Keenan's primary instrument.

paragraph: Shuldham Peard

paragraph: Shuldham Peard (1761 – 27 December 1832) was an officer of the Royal Navy. He rose to the rank of vice-admiral after seeing service in the American War of Independence, and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He was the father of John Whitehead Peard, who was known as 'Garibaldi's Englishman'.

paragraph: Section::::Family and early life.

paragraph: Shuldham Peard was born at Penryn, Cornwall in 1761, the third son of Captain George Peard. Shuldham was baptised at St Gluvias on 29 October. At the age of ten he was entered on the books of , and afterwards on those of , as an able seaman. He probably first went afloat in 1776, in the 64-gun , with Captain Mark Robinson; he was afterwards in with Captain William Parker, and in with Captain John Gell on the Newfoundland Station. In 1779, having been sent away in command of a prize, he was taken prisoner and carried into Cadiz. On his return to England he passed his examination on 6 April 1780, and on 26 April was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. In June 1780 he was appointed to the 74-gun , one of the ships of the Channel Fleet, and continued in her until February 1782, taking part in the relief of Gibraltar in April 1781. From 1785 to 1790 he was in the 74-gun , the guardship at Plymouth; in 1790–1, during the Spanish armament, he was in , flagship of Rear-Admiral William Hotham, at Portsmouth, and was again in the "Carnatic" in 1791–2. In January 1793, after the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars he joined Hotham's new flagship, the 100-gun , and went out to the Mediterranean with him. On 30 January 1795 Peard was promoted to command the sloop .

paragraph: Section::::Command.

paragraph: On 5 May he was posted to , and in July was appointed to the "Britannia" as second captain. From her, in January 1796, he was moved into the 98-gun , which he still commanded on 18 January 1797, when, as the fleet was leaving Lisbon, she ran aground, had to cut away her masts, and was left behind disabled, while the fleet went on to fight the battle of Cape St. Vincent. The ship afterwards rejoined the flag off Cadiz, and was still there in the beginning of July, when a violent mutiny broke out on board. Peard, with his own hands, assisted by the first lieutenant, seized two of the ringleaders, dragged them out of the crowd, and had them put in irons. His daring and resolute conduct struck terror into the rest, and they returned to their duty; but the two men were promptly tried, convicted, and hanged on 8–9 July. Of Peard's conduct on this occasion St. Vincent thought very highly, and many years afterwards wrote, ‘his merit in facing the mutiny on board the St. George ought never to be forgotten or unrewarded’.

paragraph: In March 1799 Peard commissioned the frigate for the Mediterranean, and on his way out, when off Lisbon, fell in with and was chased by the Brest fleet. He, however, made good his escape, and joined Lord Keith off Cadiz on 3 May, in time to warn him of the approaching danger. In the following February the "Success" formed part of the squadron employed in the blockade of Malta, and on the 18th, at the Battle of the Malta Convoy, had a large share in the capture of the "Généreux", hampering her movements as she tried to escape, and raking her several times. On 9 February 1801 the "Success" was lying at Gibraltar, when a strong French squadron, under Rear-Admiral Honoré Ganteaume, passed through the Straits of Gibraltar. Peard conjectured—as was the fact—that they were bound for Egypt, and thinking that Keith ought to have warning of their presence in the Mediterranean, he immediately followed, hoping to pass them on the way.

paragraph: Francisco de Quiñónez

paragraph: Francisco de Quiñónez (? - ? Leon †); Spanish soldier who was appointed as governor of Chile for thirteen months, between May 1599 and June 1600.

paragraph: When he became governor of Chile, Quiñónez was a veteran soldier. He had served, in 1559, in the Spanish Tercios that operated in Italy. He embarked in the squadron of the viceroy of Naples, in a campaign against Turkish pirates. In 1560 in the Battle of Djerba that was a disaster for the Spaniards who lost thirty ships. Quiñónez became one of the five thousand prisoners who were taken to Istambul and sold as slaves. Later rescued by means of the payment of a large ransom, he continued as a soldier fighting in Italy and Flanders. On his return to Spain, Quiñónez married Grimanesa de Mogrovejo, sister of the inquisidor of Granada, later canonized as Saint Turibius of Mongrovejo. When this monk was promoted to the rank of archbishop of Lima, Quiñónez went to Peru, in 1580, as part of his retinue. Thanks to the protection of the archbishop, Quiñónez soon became Maestro de Campo and general commissioner of the cavalry. In 1582, the Viceroy of Peru, Martin Enríquez de Almansa made him commander of the treasure fleet that sailed from Peru to Panama, be sent to Spain from there. Later he was named corregidor of Lima, a position in which he gained some notice as a pursuer of thieves and vagabonds.

paragraph: Quiñónez was designated Royal Governor of Chile by the Viceroy of Peru, Luis de Velasco, after finding out about the death of Martín García Óñez de Loyola at the hands of the forces of the Mapuche toqui Pelantaro, in the Battle of Curalaba. Once in Chile he replaced the lawyer Pedro de Viscarra, who had temporarily administered the government. He commanded the Spaniards during the early desperate months of the Mapuche Revolt of 1598. During 1599, despite his efforts the Mapuche destroyed the forts of Chivicura and Jesus de Huenuraquí in Catirai and its city Santa Cruz de Coya, the cities of Santa María la Blanca de Valdivia, San Andrés de Los Infantes and San Bartolomé de Chillán y Gamboa. In 1600, Quiñónez was able to rebuild a fort at the site of the destroyed city of Chillán.

paragraph: Siegfried I ( – 25 March 1298), a member of the House of Ascania, ruled as the first Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst from 1252 until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Siegfried was the youngest son of Prince Henry I of Anhalt by his wife Irmgard, daughter of the Ludovingian landgrave Hermann I of Thuringia. His father had received the Anhalt territory upon the death of Duke Bernhard III of Saxony in 1212 and was raised to the rank of a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire six years later.

paragraph: In 1247, after the death of the Thuringian landgrave Henry Raspe, younger brother of his mother Irmgard and last male heir of the Ludovinger dynasty, Siegfried interfered in the succeeding War of the Thuringen Succession. During the conflict, the young prince occupied the County palatine (German: "Pfalzgrafschaft"), by right of his mother. Later he renounced the county in favor of the Wettin margrave Henry III of Meissen in exchange for a monetary compensation.

paragraph: After the death of his father in 1252, in accordance with the family law of the Ascanian dynasty, Siefgried and his elder brothers Henry II and Bernhard divided the Anhalt lands. Siegfried received the eastern estates around Köthen. His style "Count of Köthen-Dessau" (used from 1253) likewise derived from the territories he received as his inheritance. In 1273 he even stood as a candidate in the Imperial election, though the princes eventually elected Count Rudolf of Habsburg king.

paragraph: In 1290 Siegfried renounced his rule to become a preaching monk (German: "Predigermönch"). As a result, his eldest son Prince Albert I of Anhalt became the actual ruler in the Köthen and Zerbst estates, although the former prince retained his rank until his death. Siegfried died at Köthen Castle in 1298.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: On 17 October 1259, Siegfried married Catherine (Karin), daughter of Birger Magnusson, later known as Birger jarl, Regent of Sweden, by his wife Princess Ingeborg Eriksdotter of Sweden, sister of King Eric XI of Sweden.

Szabo was another gymnast on the Romanian team. The reason for the deception is unclear because Agache could have competed under her own name if Romanian gymnastics officials had simply entered her into the competition. Both Agache and Szabo were well-known to international gymnastics officials and judges, which made the attempt to pass off Agache as Szabo even more baffling. She tied Julianne McNamara for second place, but her scores were invalidated after the competition. Three years later, Agache and Szabo were both on the gold medal winning Romanian team at the 1984 Olympics.

paragraph: Agache won three individual medals at the 1983 World Championships (silver on vault and uneven bars; bronze on beam) and a team silver medal, and four medals at the 1983 European Championships (gold on beam, silver in the all-around and on uneven bars, and bronze on vault). At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, in addition to the team gold medal, she won the bronze medal on vault. This was a disappointing medal toll for Agache, however, as she had the opportunity to win medals on every event and in the all-around after winning the compulsory round of team competition, but suffered falls on three of the four events during the optional rounds (bars, beam, and floor). She semi-retired in 1984 after a knee injury, but returned in 1991 to compete in the first World Professional Championships. After that she participated in numerous gymnastics shows in the United States, and eventually married and became a gymnastics coach there.Lavinia is married to Manuel Ramos jr., an ENT doctor, and has four nieces. One of her nieces was a competitive gymnast who later switched to diving.

paragraph: Mark Vanco

paragraph: Mark Vanco (born October 13, 1968) is an American designer and artist, associated with the cyberpunk aesthetic. He is the creator of Rotor, a clothing company.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Vanco was born in Columbus, Ohio, in the United States. His father was a designer and engineer who had been involved in the development of various products between the 1940s and 1960s, including pre-fabricated and solar-heated homes, plastic interlocking blocks and prosthetic limb designs for the United States military.

paragraph: Section::::Rotor.

paragraph: Rotor, Vanco's clothing company and the origin of his artist name, initially sold mail-order shirts and accessories via adverts placed in technology culture magazines. Rotor products were later sold in international boutiques.

paragraph: In 1991, Rotor adverts started to appear in "Mondo 2000", a San Francisco cult publication and predecessor of "WIRED". The adverts featured Vanco's T-shirts, inspired by a mix of cyberpunk and Japanese consumer culture.

paragraph: In 1994, Vanco moved to Chicago to work with Mike Saenz of the digital entertainment company Reactor Inc. Together they worked on the development of digital entertainment content including 3D films and ideas for what Vanco would eventually describe as "designer entertainment".

paragraph: Between 1996 and 1998, Rotor was based in the downtown Los Angeles garment district on the border of Little Tokyo, in the same neighborhood as other street wear labels like Third Rail, Tribal and Twentyfive. Various music acts held after-parties and shows at the Rotor premises, including No Doubt and the Icelandic electro pop band Gus Gus.

paragraph: In 1996 Vanco collaborated with California-based industrial designer Rob Bruce on a design for the first urban fashion wearable computer, the Rotor "Streetwearable". Vanco consulted with designer/engineer Adam Oranchak on the processor and interface design, which was handheld, with a chorded keyboard and micro PC located on the user's upper back. Rotor's early wearable computer was a predecessor to the mainstream fashion establishment interest in cyberculture, wearable technology and the "accessorization" of digital devices into everyone's wardrobe.

paragraph: In 1997, Rotor was named one of "10 to Watch" by ASR (Action Sports Retailer), a sportswear industry magazine. Vanco was also invited to participate in various sponsored forums to discuss the future of fashion and technology in the United States and abroad.

paragraph: Rotor folded in 1998, with Vanco leaving due to physical and financial limitations.

paragraph: Section::::Rotor.:Rotor's influence.

paragraph: Rotor advertisements and editorial coverage appeared on the pages of national and international publications including the "Los Angeles Times", "Ray Gun", New York's "Paper" Magazine, "Surface", "URB", "UHF" as well as "Interactif" (France) and various Japanese street wear magazines.

paragraph: Rotor adverts featured parody logos of gaming companies and franchises. Logos like Praystation, Nofriendo and Microshit were designed to be commentaries on videogame culture, technology tribalism, and a corporate media establishment. The logos influenced other artists including Joshua Davis, who adopted the moniker Praystation.

paragraph: Rotor was profiled on CNN, the USA Network and various local TV stations, as a company merging fashion and technology during the period when the web was in its infancy and the concept of 'digital lifestyle' was new. The term has since entered common use, but Vanco was using it in the early and mid-nineties to describe Rotor.

paragraph: Rotor fashion was also seen in music videos and/or used as stage gear by artists such as Front 242, Marilyn Manson, Rage Against the Machine, Front Line Assembly, Fear Factory, Chemlab and White Zombie.

paragraph: Section::::Magazine and fashion design.

paragraph: Throughout the 1990s, Vanco was an art director for magazines like Mike Manix's underground music publication "Street Sounds", and the Los Angeles-based cyberpunk zine "Nexus 6", run by movie industry executive and filmmaker Brian McNelis. Vanco also directed one issue of the Asian culture magazine "Giant Robot", for his friend Eric Nakamura.

paragraph: In 1996 Vanco designed custom jackets and other apparel for the electronic music label R&S Records in Gent, Belgium, including custom-made outfits for DJs like Ken Iishi and CJ Bolland.

paragraph: In 1997, Vanco created the logo as well as stage and promotional displays for the Belgian industrial artist Front 242. These designs are still used on merchandise and on tour material .

paragraph: Vanco has also worked occasionally as a brand design and new media integration consultant for the fashion industry.

paragraph: Section::::Games & CG animation.

paragraph: In 1998 Vanco art directed the PS1 videogame "Speed Tribes" and produced a comic of the same name for game developer Nemicron.

paragraph: In 1999–2000 Vanco made a brief move to Brussels, Belgium to act as producer and art director for the computer animation production firm Imagination in Motion (IIM), rebranding the company for its entrance into the international marketplace. While at IIM, Vanco worked with clients including DreamWorks Pictures, Disney and Coca-Cola.

paragraph: Vanco launched the animation consultancy bureau N1digital in 2001. The bureau worked together with companies across northern Europe including Grid VFX/Animation in Ghent, Belgium, and 583D in Frankfurt, Germany.

paragraph: In 2001 Vanco developed a character-based, interactive strategy for Universal Music's Farmclub, a progressive television/web music program launched by Interscope Records' Jimmy Iovine and produced by Glenn Kaino. He produced and art directed custom CG animated characters and bumper animations for the show. The animation was created by the German CG production house 583D.

paragraph: In late 2002, Vanco brokered and produced the computer graphics translation of the global cleaning icon, Mr. Clean for Procter & Gamble Europe. After finalizing the production deal, a subsequent nine territory European launch of the new 3D Mr. Clean was initiated, and the character has since been adopted for use in all of Proctor's domestic U.S. campaigns.

paragraph: In 2005, Vanco acted as Web 2.0 design consultant and brand adviser for the Napster in Hollywood, California.

paragraph: In 2006, he art directed the satellite broadcast music video network International Music Feed (IMF) in Los Angeles, California.
