paragraph: Mary Ann Tripp

paragraph: Mary Ann Tripp (nee Hathaway) was the first American woman to visit China and also the first American woman to circumnavigate the earth. She also visited the Philippine Islands during this historic trip. She then went on to travel the globe and visit China two more times before settling into a long life in Massachusetts.

paragraph: Section::::Formative years.

paragraph: Born on October 22, 1810, Mary Ann Hathaway was a native of the State of New York in the United States.

paragraph: In 1828, she visited the Massachusetts community of Fairhaven in Bristol County. While there, she met her future husband, Captain Lemuel C. Tripp, a man who commanded merchant vessels which typically sailed from the port of New York City, New York and carried cargo to major ports across the globe.

paragraph: Section::::Historic travels.

paragraph: In 1830, Mary Ann (Hathaway) Tripp became the first American woman to visit China and also the first American woman to circumnavigate the earth while sailing with her husband in his capacity as captain of a merchant vessel bound for Guangzhou (Canton). She also visited The Philippine Islands during this historic trip. According to her hometown newspaper, The Fairhaven Star:

paragraph: She always looked back on that first voyage as an important event in her life, and she recalled with much amusement the efforts of Captain Tripp and herself to visit the walled city of Canton. They were at a port not many miles from Canton and were transported to the gates by means of a car carried by two Chinamen. Arriving, they entered the gate but further progress was barred by a guard and they were obliged to retire. Admission was sought at the other gates, but they met with similar reaction in each instance. They finally gave up the attempt but they were afterwards able to say that they had been within the walls of the city.

paragraph: During her second trip around the globe, she and her husband sustained a mild shock when the vessel he was commanding, the Oneida, was struck by a whaling vessel at night while both ships were making their way across the Pacific Ocean. Although the whaling vessel lost its mizzen mast and one of its smaller whaleboats, the Oneida sustained no serious damage, and was able to continue on its way. When interviewed later in life, Mary Ann (Hathaway) Tripp recalled that she had never felt afraid during any of her travels but was, instead, more often left with feelings of curiosity or fascination.

paragraph: After returning to America, she settled into life in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, where her husband had built a mansion on Adams Street. Religiously, she was a member of the Congregational Church in her community.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: On April 24, 1864, Mary Ann (Hathaway) Tripp became a widow when her husband passed away in Fairhaven at the age of 62. He was laid to rest at Fairhaven’s Riverside Cemetery.

paragraph: No longer in need of a large home, but in need of funding to support herself as she aged, Mrs. Tripp subsequently sold the estate where she had resided with her late husband. (The house and grounds were later purchased by Professor Theodore Thomas, and then resold to the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts, which converted the estate into a monastery.)

paragraph: She then moved into a home on the corner of Washington and William Streets in Fairhaven.

paragraph: Section::::Injury, death and burial.

paragraph: In 1899, Mary Ann (Hathaway) Tripp suffered a severe fall during which she fractured her hip. The fall ultimately proved to be a devastating experience for the 89-year-old because the injury to her bone never healed well. As a result she was “unable to move about except in an invalid’s chair,” according to reports by "The Fairhaven Star". Despite this, she remained sharp mentally well into her 90s, and only needed to use glasses for reading. Per her hometown newspaper, “Her hearing and memory [were] excellent and she never [tired] of receiving visitors who [found] her a most entertaining conversationalist.”

paragraph: After a long, history-making life, Mary Ann (Hathaway) Tripp died at her home on 22 William Street in Fairhaven, Bristol County, Massachusetts on Wednesday, October 24, 1906. She was then laid to rest at Fairhaven’s Riverside Cemetery. Aged 96, she was “the oldest woman in Fairhaven, according to her obituary in "The Fairhaven Star".

paragraph: John Paul Fauves

paragraph: John "Paul" Fauves is a Costa Rican visual artist who lives and works in San José.

paragraph: Fauves has exhibited his work in galleries in the United States and across Europe including Guy Hepner gallery in New York City, Imitate Modern in London, and the Meir gallery in Belgium. His paintings have also been featured in Vogue Italia and Dansk Magazine

paragraph: Section::::Education and early life.

paragraph: Fauves began painting at an early age as a student under the instruction of the influential modern artist Joaquin Rodriguez del Paso. In 2017, after a hiatus from the arts to train in business, he began exhibiting internationally.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic style.

paragraph: In his paintings, Fauves engages questions of identity as they relate to art history, as well as our everyday interactions with mainstream culture and social media. Greatly inspired by modernist masters as well as pop-artists, Fauves mixes fragments of different iconic images in vivid and colorful compositions. Fauves’ paintings take on a disorienting effect due to his technique of layering, cutting out, and collaging elements of pop-cultural images to a point where they become, not unrecognizable, but perversions of the familiar that ask the viewer to question what they think they know.

paragraph: Kinji Shibuya

paragraph: Robert "Kinji" Shibuya (May 16, 1921 – May 3, 2010) was an American professional wrestler and actor.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.

paragraph: In 1952, promoter Al Karasick suggested Shibuya try professional wrestling. He was originally given a villainous gimmick of a Japanese bad guy after World War II. He wrestled in the United States and Canada's Stampede Wrestling and All-Star Wrestling. Shibuya credited Verne Gagne for first making him popular as a villain in 1955.

paragraph: Stephen Morris (musician)

paragraph: Stephen Paul David Morris (born 28 October 1957) is an English multi-instrumentalist, composer and record producer who is best known for his work with the rock band New Order and, previously, Joy Division. He also wrote and performed in The Other Two, a band consisting of Morris and his wife, Gillian Gilbert. Morris also participated in the New Order spin-off band Bad Lieutenant. He is known for his precise drumming that seamlessly weaves with New Order's and Joy Division's drum machine sounds. "Stylus Magazine" ranked Morris No. 5 on their list of "50 Greatest Rock Drummers of All Time".

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Stephen Paul David Morris was born on 28 October 1957, in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. He attended the King's School, Macclesfield, as did Ian Curtis who was also in Joy Division. After Joy Division (then called Warsaw) tried three other drummers, they eventually recruited Morris, who responded to a wanted ad posted in a local music shop.

paragraph: Morris is noted for his "machine-like" skills as a drummer, which he credits to krautrock influences. During Joy Division recording sessions with Martin Hannett, Morris was asked to record his parts one drum at a time so that Hannett could have complete control over the production. He also took an early interest in drum machines, combining them with traditional drumming on many Joy Division and New Order releases.

paragraph: Although he is primarily a percussionist, Morris also plays keyboards and synthesizer.

paragraph: Early on, Morris was a contender to become New Order's lead vocalist, and his vocals can be heard on some early live tracks. He also contributed musically to as-yet-unreleased demos by Quando Quango. He played drums on the song "Soul Kitchen" by Echo & the Bunnymen when they and New Order were both recording at Amazon Studios in Liverpool in 1986, a time when Echo & the Bunnymen did not have a full-time drummer. New Order were recording "Brotherhood" while Echo and the Bunnymen recorded their eponymous fifth album.

paragraph: During a hiatus from New Order, Morris and Gilbert formed the side project The Other Two; together they have released two albums as well as various remixes and soundtrack work. In 2007, Morris and Gilbert remixed two tracks for the Nine Inch Nails remix album "Year Zero Remixed".

paragraph: In June 2009, during New Order's second break-up, band members Bernard Sumner and Phil Cunningham, along with Jake Evans, formed a new band called Bad Lieutenant. Morris recorded drums on several songs with the band, and joined their line-up for live gigs. Bad Lieutenant released their debut album "Never Cry Another Tear" in 2009 and toured from October 2009 to April 2010. They began work on a second album, but are presently on hiatus.

paragraph: New Order reformed with a new line-up in the summer of 2011, and Morris returned to playing with New Order.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In 1979, Morris was questioned about the Yorkshire Ripper case. Joy Division's touring schedule happened to be similar to Peter Sutcliffe's movements which led to the police's suspicion. Following gigs in Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds and Manchester, both Morris and bass player Peter Hook were questioned.

paragraph: Morris married fellow New Order member Gillian Gilbert in 1994. The couple live in Rainow, Cheshire, and have two daughters, Tilly and Grace.

paragraph: Morris is a fan of science fiction, particularly the TV series "Doctor Who". He has a full-sized Dalek replica in his rehearsal room, which Sumner has called "the sixth member" of New Order. He also owns several military vehicles.

paragraph: W. G. Unruh

paragraph: William George "Bill" Unruh (; born August 28, 1945) is a Canadian physicist at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver who described the hypothetical Unruh effect in 1976.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Unruh was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Manitoba in 1967, followed by an M.A. (1969) and Ph.D. (1971) from Princeton University, New Jersey, under the direction of John Archibald Wheeler.

paragraph: Section::::Areas of research.

paragraph: Unruh has made seminal contributions to our understanding of gravity, black holes, cosmology, and quantum fields in curved spaces, including the discovery of what is now known as the Unruh effect. Unruh has contributed to the foundations of quantum mechanics in areas such as decoherence and the question of time in quantum mechanics. He has helped to clarify the meaning of nonlocality in a quantum context, in particular that quantum nonlocality does not follow from Bell's theorem and that ultimately quantum mechanics is a local theory. Unruh is also one of the main critics of the Afshar experiment.

paragraph: Unruh is also interested in music and teaches the Physics of Music.

paragraph: Section::::Areas of research.:The Unruh effect.

paragraph: The Unruh effect, described by Unruh in 1976, is the prediction that an accelerating observer will observe black-body radiation where an inertial observer would observe none. In other words, the accelerating observer will find himself or herself in a warm background, the temperature of which is proportional to the acceleration. The same quantum state of a field, which is taken to be the ground state for observers in inertial systems, is seen as a thermal state for the uniformly accelerated observer. The Unruh effect therefore means that the very notion of the quantum vacuum depends on the path of the observer through spacetime.

paragraph: The Unruh effect can be expressed in a simple equation giving the equivalent energy "kT" of a uniformly accelerating particle (with "a" being the constant acceleration), as:

paragraph: E. J. Bowen

paragraph: Edmund ("Ted") John Bowen FRS (29 April 1898 – 19 November 1980) was a British physical chemist.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Worcester, England, E. J. Bowen attended the Royal Grammar School Worcester. He won the Brackenbury Scholarship in 1915 and 1916 to the University of Oxford where he studied chemistry. He returned to Balliol College after serving as Second Lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery during World War I. In 1922, he became a Fellow in Chemistry of University College, Oxford, succeeding R. B. Bourdillon, who was briefly Fellow in Chemistry at the College from 1919 to 1921, but who subsequently changed his field of interest from chemistry to medicine. Bowen also served as Domestic Bursar of University College and as Junior Proctor of Oxford University in 1936.

paragraph: Created a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1935 for his research into fluorescence, he was awarded the Davy Medal in 1963. He wrote a seminal book called "The Chemical Aspects of Light".

paragraph: He was Vice-President of the Faraday Society and of the Chemical Society.

paragraph: Much of Bowen's research work was carried out at the Balliol-Trinity Laboratories in Oxford. His 1966 Liversedge Lecture on Fluorescence was based on his life's research. After retirement in June 1965, he was elected as an Honorary Fellow of University College on 6 October 1965. He was one of the longest serving Fellows of that college (43 years as an ordinary Fellow and a total of 59 years). There is a room in the college named after him. He was also a prominent Worcester Old Elizabethan serving on its Committee for many years and organising the Oxford branch of that club.

paragraph: During May 1931, Bowen, then a University don, attended a series of three lectures given by Albert Einstein at Rhodes House in Oxford. After the second lecture on 16 May, he helped rescue the blackboard used by Einstein; Sir Francis Wylie (Warden of Rhodes House) formally presented it to the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford where it remains on prominent display to this day.

paragraph: At around five generations back from Bowen on a chemistry genealogy tree one will find Liebig and at around fourteen generations back, Werner Rolfinck. The line of supervisors can be traced directly back as far back as Niccolò Leoniceno in the 15th century.

paragraph: As well as chemistry, Bowen also had an interest in geology, especially around Ringstead Bay on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. "Perisphinctes boweni", an ammonite from the Jurassic period, is named after him.

paragraph: Bowen lived for most of his working life in Park Town and is buried in Wolvercote Cemetery, north of Oxford. Bowen was married to Edith née Moule and they had a son (also a chemist) and a daughter.

paragraph: Dr Bowen's Room, occupied by E. J. Bowen at University College and used by Emeritus Fellows, now occupied by Prof. Ruth Chang, was named in his honour. Bowen's papers (1931–1980) are held by the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford.

paragraph: William de Berkeley, 1st Marquess of Berkeley (1426 – 14 February 1492) was an English peer, given the epithet "The Waste-All" by the family biographer and steward John Smyth of Nibley. He was buried at "St. Augustine's Friars, London" according to one source, but most likely in the Berkeley family foundation of St Augustine's Abbey, Bristol.

paragraph: Section::::Descent and Marriages.

paragraph: William of Berkley was born to James Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley, and Lady Isabel Mowbray at Berkeley Castle in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, in 1426. His first marriage was in 1466 to Elizabeth West, daughter of Reginald West, 6th Baron De La Warr, but he obtained a divorce on 20 November 1467. In November 1468, he married Joan Strangeways, daughter of Sir Thomas Strangeways and Lady Katherine Neville. After the death of his second wife, he married Anne Fiennes, sister of Thomas Fiennes, 8th Baron Dacre, in circa 1486.

paragraph: Section::::Titles.

paragraph: William was invested as a knight circa 1438. William assumed the title of Baron Berkeley by writ after the death of his father James Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley on 22 October 1463.

paragraph: He was invested as a Knight Bachelor on 18 April 1475. He was styled as Viscount of Catherlough (now known as County Carlow, Ireland) between 1481 and 10 February 1485.

paragraph: William was created Viscount Berkeley on 21 April 1481, as a Privy Counsellor (P.C.) on 5 March 1482/83, and as Earl of Nottingham on 28 June 1483. He assumed the life office of Earl Marshal and Great Marshal of England on 19 February 1485/86. Finally, he was created Marquess of Berkeley on 28 January 1488/89.

paragraph: Section::::Disinherits brother.

paragraph: He had no surviving male issue, thus the marquesate and his other non-inherited titles became extinct on his death, but he had a younger brother, Maurice Berkeley, 3rd Baron Berkeley. He disinherited Maurice, as having brought shame on the noble House of Berkeley by marrying beneath his status Isabel Mead, daughter of Philip Mead of Wraxall, an alderman and mayor of Bristol in 1459, 1462 and 1469. In order to achieve this, the castle, lands and lordships composing the Barony of Berkeley he settled on King Henry VII and his heirs male, failing which to descend to his own rightful heirs. Thus, in 1553 on the death of King Edward VI, the unmarried grandson of Henry VII, the Berkeley inheritance returned to the family. Therefore, on the death of the 1st Marquis, only the "de jure" barony title was passed on to his younger brother Maurice, that is to say he was Baron Berkeley "by right", if not actually in possession of the baronial property. The 4th, 5th and 6th barons were also "de jure" only, with Henry (d. 1613) becoming "de facto" 7th Baron in 1553.

paragraph: Section::::Accomplishments.

paragraph: On 20 March 1469/70, he was challenged by Thomas Talbot, 2nd Viscount Lisle, to settle the claims to his great-uncle Thomas's estates by combat. Thomas was killed in the combat. The battle, known as the Battle of Nibley Green, is notable for being the last battle fought in England entirely between the private armies of feudal magnates.

paragraph: William and Maurice were assisted at Nibley Green by a private army raised by Philip Mead, Maurice's father-in-law. It was surely a mark of ingratitude that William disinherited Mead's grandchildren.

paragraph: Levi Leiter

paragraph: Levi Ziegler Leiter (November 2, 1834 – June 9, 1904) was a Chicago businessman. He co-founded what became the Marshall Field & Company retail empire.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Leiter was born to Anne (née Ziegler) and Joseph Thomas Leiter, of Leitersburg, the Washington County, Maryland, town founded by his grandfather, Abraham Leiter. Although some have confused Leiter's ancestry as Jewish (likely because of his first name), his family was of German Swiss descent and some of his ancestors had been Mennonites. Leiter was raised a Lutheran.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: As a boy, Leiter worked for a dry goods business in Springfield, Ohio. In 1853 he began working as a bookkeeper at Chicago's then-largest dry goods company, Cooley, Wadsworth & Co., where he worked alongside Marshall Field and Potter Palmer. Leiter and Field became partners in the firm, but in 1865, they sold their interest in the company to John V. Farwell and went into business, along with Palmer, as Field, Palmer, Leiter & Co.

paragraph: In 1867, Palmer left his business to pursue real estate ventures, and the company was renamed Field, Leiter & Co. Field & Leiter built a six-story store on State Street in 1868. It was rebuilt after the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. From 1874 to 1880, Leiter was a member of the Executive Committee of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, which helped collect and distribute funds to rebuild Chicago after the fire. When Leiter sold his interest to Field and retired from the dry goods business in 1881, the name was changed to Marshall Field and Company.

paragraph: As Leiter's wealth increased, he invested much of his savings in Chicago real estate. After retirement from Field, Leiter & Co., he devoted his attention to real estate and corporate interests. He later devoted time to travel and philanthropy. He was the first president of the Commercial Club of Chicago, the second president of the Chicago Art Institute, a president of the Chicago Historical Society, and a prominent figure in the Illinois Trust Company.

paragraph: From 1892 to 1898, his son Joseph was his agent. Joseph attempted to corner the wheat market from 1897 to 1898, and was briefly the largest individual holder of wheat in the history of the grain trade. Concerted action by his competitors broke the corner. Levi paid millions of dollars to settle Joseph's debts after the market crashed in 1898. Levi's losses were reputed to run to $10 million. Joseph was later president of the Zeigler Coal Company, Chicago, and of the Chicago, Zeigler and Gulf Railway Company; and a director of the American Security and Trust Company.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: In 1866, Leiter married Mary Theresa Carver (1844–1913) of Chicago. From 1885 until her death, she served as the second Vice Regent for Illinois in the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, which is occupied with the preservation of George Washington's Mount Vernon estate. Together, they were the parents of:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Joseph Leiter (1868–1932), who graduated from Harvard University in 1891 and who married Juliette Williams (1887–1942).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mary Victoria Leiter (1870–1906), who married the British Conservative statesman George Curzon, later 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston, in 1895.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Nancy Lathrop Carver Leiter (1873–1930), the sponsor of USS Illinois (BB-7) who married Colin Powys Campbell (1859–1923).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret Hyde Leiter (1880–1968), who married Henry Molineux Howard (1877–1917), the 19th Earl of Suffolk and 12th Earl of Berkshire.

paragraph: Leiter died of heart disease at the Vanderbilt family cottage in Bar Harbor, Maine on June 9, 1904. His estate became the subject of eight years of litigation.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Washington residence.

paragraph: In 1891, Leiter had a mansion built adjacent to Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.. The home was designed by Theophilus Chandler. After his death, his Washington, D.C. home was used for elaborate parties hosted by his widow. During WWII, the mansion was leased to the U.S. Government for office space. The property was sold and the structure demolished in 1947. The site is now the location of the Dupont Hotel.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Descendants.

paragraph: Through his eldest daughter, he was the maternal grandfather of Mary Irene, Lady Ravensdale (b. 1896); Lady Cynthia Curzon (b. 1898), the first wife of Sir Oswald Mosley; and Alexandra Naldera Curzon (b. 1904), the wife of Edward Dudley Metcalfe, the best friend, best man and equerry of King Edward VIII.

paragraph: Through his daughter Margaret, he was the maternal grandfather of Charles Howard, 20th Earl of Suffolk (1906–1941); Hon. Cecil John Arthur Howard (1908–1985), married Frances Dean; and Lt.-Cdr. Hon. Greville Reginald Howard (1909–1987).

paragraph: Sawney Bean

paragraph: Alexander "Sawney" Bean was said to be the head of a 45-member clan in Scotland in the 16th century who were reportedly executed for the mass murder and cannibalization of over 1,000 people.

paragraph: The story appears in "The Newgate Calendar", a crime catalogue of Newgate Prison in London. While historians tend to believe Bean never existed or that his story has been greatly exaggerated, it has passed into local folklore and become part of the Edinburgh tourism circuit.

paragraph: Section::::Legend.

paragraph: According to "The Newgate Calendar", Alexander Bean was born in East Lothian during the 16th century. His father was a ditch-digger and hedge-trimmer and Bean tried to take up the family trade, but quickly realized that he had little taste for honest labour.

paragraph: He left home with a vicious woman named Agnes Douglas, who apparently shared his inclinations and was accused of being a witch. After some robbing and the cannibalization of one of their victims, the couple ended up at a coastal cave in Bennane Head between Girvan and Ballantrae, where they lived undiscovered for some 25 years. The cave was 200 yards deep and the entrance was blocked by water during high tide.

paragraph: The couple produced eight sons, six daughters, 18 grandsons and 14 granddaughters. Various grandchildren were products of incest between their children.

paragraph: Lacking the inclination for regular labour, the clan thrived by laying careful ambushes at night to rob and murder individuals or small groups. The bodies were brought back to the cave where they were dismembered and eaten. Leftovers were pickled in barrels and discarded body parts would sometimes wash up on nearby beaches as part of the clan's way of making the people think a wild animal was responsible.

paragraph: The body parts and disappearances did not go unnoticed by the local villagers, but the Beans stayed in their cave by day and took their victims at night. The clan was so secretive that the villagers were unaware of the murderers living nearby.

paragraph: As more significant notice was taken of the disappearances, several organized searches were launched to find the culprits. One search took note of the cave but the men refused to believe anything human could live in it. Frustrated and in a frenetic quest for justice, the townspeople lynched several innocents and the disappearances continued. Suspicion often fell on local innkeepers since they were the last known to have seen many of the missing people alive.

paragraph: One fateful night, the Beans ambushed a married couple riding from a fayre on one horse, but the man was skilled in combat, thus he deftly held off the clan with sword and pistol. The clan fatally mauled the wife when she fell to the ground in the conflict. Before they could take the resilient husband, a large group of fayre-goers appeared on the trail and the Beans fled.

paragraph: With the Beans' existence finally revealed, it was not long before the King (likely King James in tales linked to the 16th century, though other tales are from the 15th) heard of the atrocities from the survivor and decided to lead a manhunt with a team of 400 men and several bloodhounds. They soon found the Beans' previously overlooked cave in Bennane Head thanks to the bloodhounds. Upon entering the cave by torchlight, the searchers found the Bean clan surrounded by human remains with some body parts hanging from the wall, barrels filled with limbs, and piles of stolen heirlooms and jewellery.

paragraph: There were two versions on what happened next:

paragraph: BULLET::::- The most common of the two is that the clan was captured alive where they gave up without a fight. They were taken in chains to the Tolbooth Jail in Edinburgh, then transferred to Leith or Glasgow, where they were promptly executed without trial as they were seen as subhuman and unfit for one. Sawney and his fellow men had their genitalia cut off and thrown into the fires, their hands and feet severed, and were allowed to bleed to death, with Sawney shouting his dying words: "It isn't over, it will never be over." After watching the men die, Agnes, her fellow women, and the children were burned alive on the stakes from which they were hung. This recalls, in essence if not in detail, the punishments of hanging, drawing and quartering decreed for men convicted of treason, while women convicted of the same were burned.

paragraph: BULLET::::- There was another claim that gunpowder was placed at the entrance of their cave where they faced the fate of suffocation.

paragraph: The town of Girvan, located near the macabre scene of murder and debauchery, has another legend about the cannibal clan. It is said that one of Bean's daughters eventually left the clan and settled in Girvan where she planted a Dule Tree that became known as "The Hairy Tree." After her family's capture and exposure, the daughter's identity was revealed by angry locals who hanged her from the bough of the Hairy Tree.

paragraph: Section::::Sources and veracity.

paragraph: Sawney Bean is often considered a mythical figure. Citing an account of 1843, Dorothy L. Sayers included a gruesome narrative in her anthology "Great Short Stories of Detection, Mystery and Horror" (Gollancz, 1928. The book was a best-seller in Britain, reprinted seven times in the next five years.) A 2005 article by Sean Thomas notes that historical documents, such as newspapers and diaries during the era in which Sawney Bean was supposedly active, make no mention of ongoing disappearances of hundreds of people. Additionally, Thomas notes inconsistencies in the stories but speculates that kernels of truth might have inspired the legend:

paragraph: The Sawney Bean legend closely resembles the story of Christie-Cleek, which is attested much earlier in the early 15th century.

paragraph: The legend of Sawney Bean first appeared in the British chapbooks (rumour magazines of the day), which today leads many to argue that the story was a political propaganda tool to denigrate the Scots after the Jacobite rebellions. Thomas disagrees, noting:

paragraph: Another cannibal story from Scotland, even more redolent of the Sawney Bean tale than the Christie-Cleek story, is contained in the 1696 work of Nathaniel Crouch, a compiler and popular history writer publishing under the pseudonym "Richard Burton". In this tale, the following happened in 1459, the year before James II's death:

paragraph: Hector Boece relates that the infant daughter of a Scotch brigand, who was executed with his family for cannibalism, though raised by foster parents, developed the cannibal appetite at 12, and was put to death for it. This was summarised by Drs. Gould & Pyle on pg.409 of "Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine".

Turning round I saw the first lieutenant and sixth lieutenant lying close by me. I ran to them, saying, I hope you're not seriously hurt, and lifting Mr Lloyd's head the blood gushed into my shoes. Both were dead."br

paragraph: Describing the surrender of the French flagship he wrote...

paragraph: "We engaged her single-handed for an hour, and she struck to us; after her colours were hauled down two guns from her starboard side began to play on us. Sir Israel Pellew, thinking that they were disposed to renew the fight, ordered the guns which could bear on her foremast to knock it away, and her masts were cut away successfully in a few minutes. The officers of the French ship waving their handkerchiefs in sign of surrender, we sent a cutter and took possession."

paragraph: Section::::Uniform.

paragraph: His pre-1815 pattern lieutenants uniform is on display in the National Maritime Museum. It was donated by a descendant having been carefully preserved by succeeding generations of the Hicks family. There are no other examples of this type of uniform anywhere in the world.

paragraph: Quirinius

paragraph: Publius Sulpicius Quirinius (c. 51 BC – AD 21) was a Roman aristocrat. After the banishment of the ethnarch Herod Archelaus from the tetrarchy of Judea in AD 6, Quirinius was appointed legate governor of Syria, to which the province of Judaea had been added for the purpose of a census.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born into an undistinguished family in the neighborhood of Lanuvium, a Latin town near Rome, Quirinius followed the normal pathway of service for an ambitious young man of his social class. According to the Roman historian Florus, Quirinius defeated the Marmaridae, a tribe of desert raiders from Cyrenaica, possibly while governor of Crete and Cyrene around 14 BC, but nonetheless declined the honorific name "Marmaricus". In 12 BC he was named consul, a sign that he enjoyed the favour of Augustus.

paragraph: From 12 to 1 BC, he led a campaign against the Homonadenses, a tribe based in the mountainous region of Galatia and Cilicia, around 5–3 BC, probably as legate of Galatia. He won the campaign by reducing their strongholds and starving out the defenders. For this victory, he was awarded a triumph and elected duumvir by the colony of Antioch of Pisidia.

paragraph: By 1 AD, Quirinius was appointed tutor to Augustus' grandson Gaius Caesar, until the latter died from wounds suffered on campaign. When Augustus' support shifted to his stepson Tiberius, Quirinius changed his allegiance to the latter. Having been married to Claudia Appia, about whom little is known, he divorced her and around 3 AD married Aemilia Lepida, daughter of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus and sister of Manius Aemilius Lepidus, who had originally been betrothed to Lucius Caesar. Within a few years they were divorced: in 20 AD he accused her of claiming that he was her son's father, and later of trying to poison him during their marriage. Tacitus claims that she was popular with the public, who regarded Quirinius as carrying on a prosecution out of spite.

paragraph: After the banishment of the ethnarch Herod Archelaus in 6 AD, Iudaea (the conglomeration of Samaria, Judea and Idumea) came under direct Roman administration, with Coponius appointed as prefect. At the same time, Quirinius was appointed Legate of Syria, with instructions to assess Iudea Province for taxation purposes. One of his first duties was to carry out a census as part of this order.

paragraph: The Jews already hated their pagan conquerors, and censuses were forbidden under Jewish law. The assessment was greatly resented by the Jews, and open revolt was prevented only by the efforts of the high priest Joazar. Despite efforts to prevent revolt, the census did trigger the revolt of Judas of Galilee and the formation of the party of the Zealots, according to Josephus.

paragraph: There is a reference to Quirinius in the Gospel of Luke chapter 2, which links the birth of Jesus to the time of the Census of Quirinius.

paragraph: Quirinius served as governor of Syria with authority over Iudaea until 12 AD, when he returned to Rome as a close associate of Tiberius. Nine years later he died and was given a public funeral.

paragraph: Section::::Archaeology.

paragraph: The earliest known mention of his name is in an inscription from 12 BC discovered in Antioch Pisidia known as "Res Gestae Divi Augusti" ('The Deeds of the Divine Augustus'), which states: "A great crowd of people came together from all over Italy to my election, ... when Publius Sulpicius (Quirinius) and Gaius Valgius were consuls." Two other inscriptions also found in Pisidian Antioch ("Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae" 9502–9503) mentioned Quirinius as a Duumvir, when Marcus Servilius was a Roman consul in 3 AD.

paragraph: The discovery of coins issued by Quirinius as governor of Syria, bearing the date "the 36th year of Caesar [Augustus]" (5/6 CE counted from the Battle of Actium) confirmed his position there. The census that he conducted in Syria has been confirmed by the text in a tombstone near Venice, Italy, of a Roman officer used to serve under him (E-10 The Tombstone of Quintus Aemilius Secundus; "Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae" 2683, dated shortly after 14 CE) stating among others: "By order of the same Quirinius I took a census of the city of Apamea".

paragraph: Section::::Historical accounts.

paragraph: Roman historian Tacitus wrote in his "Annals" Book III that when Quirinius died in 22 AD, Tiberius Caesar "requested that the Senate pay tribute...with a public funeral", and described him as a "tireless soldier, who had by his faithful services become consul during the reign of Augustus, ... later was appointed to be an adviser to Caius Caesar in the government of Armenia..."
