paragraph: T. O'Conor Sloane

paragraph: Thomas O'Conor Sloane (November 21, 1851 – August 7, 1940) was the editor of "Amazing Stories" from 1929-38 as T. O'Conor Sloane. In 1938, publisher Ziff-Davis bought the magazine and moved its production to Chicago, naming Raymond A. Palmer as Sloane's successor.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Sloane was involved with "Amazing Stories" from the very beginning, serving as Hugo Gernsback's managing editor. His own role in the magazine production grew and in 1929, he was named editor. Shortly after, in an editorial, he wrote that he believed that man would never achieve spaceflight. Nevertheless, he published first stories by luminaries such as Jack Williamson, John W. Campbell, Jr., Clifford D. Simak, and E.E. "Doc" Smith.

paragraph: It is thought that Sloane collaborated with Gernsback in originating the term "scientifiction" which was superseded by "science fiction" to describe this genre, as suggested in part by the first issue of "Amazing Stories".

paragraph: Sloane was the author of "The Standard Electrical Dictionary", first published in 1892, as well as "How to become a Successful Electrician", "Arithmetic of Electricity", "Electricity Simplified", "Electric Toy Making", "Speed and Fun with Figures", "Fortunes in Formulas", "Motion Picture Projection", "Liquid Air and the Liquefaction of Gases" and numerous others; including a translation into English of "Saint Francis of Assisi: A Biography" written by Johannes Jorgensen. Sloane was also a prodigious contributor to many and various scientific and other publications such as the "Encyclopædia Britannica", "Alden's Cyclopedia" and "The Catholic Encyclopedia".

paragraph: Sloane was the editor of "Scientific American" and "The Experimenter", an associate editor of "Science and Invention" and served on the editorial staff of several more popular periodicals such as "Everyday Engineering Magazine".

paragraph: Sloane, an 1872 graduate of Columbia University, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1876, was a professor of natural sciences at Seton Hall University and held an A.M., an E.M., and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, as well as an LL.D.

paragraph: Sloane's best known invention was the Self-Recording Photometer for Gas Power – the first instrument to record mechanically on an index card the illuminating power of gas. In 1877, he described a new process for determining sulphur in natural gas.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Sloane's son, T. O'Conor Sloane, Jr. became a well-known photographer; another son, John Eyre Sloane, an airplane factory owner, was married to Thomas Alva Edison's daughter Madeleine in 1914; their four sons were Edison's only grandchildren.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Sloane died in 1940 in New York City.

paragraph: Carlo Confalonieri

paragraph: Carlo Confalonieri (25 July 1893 – 1 August 1986) was an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops from 1967 to 1973, and Dean of the College of Cardinals from 1977 until his death. Confalonieri was elevated to the cardinalate in 1958.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Confalonieri was born in Seveso. His father was a cabinet-maker. Carlo was baptized by Fr. Ambrogio Sirtori the next day, on 26 July. Confirmed on 13 February 1901, Confalonieri received his first Communion on 5 May 1904. He entered the seminary in Seveso in 1904, and then archdiocesan seminary of Monza in 1909. After studying at a Milanese lyceum, he went to Rome to attend the Pontifical Seminary "Ss. Ambrogio e Carlo" and the Pontifical Gregorian University (from where he obtained his bachelor's degree in theology in 1913). Confalonieri then served in World War I from 1914 to 1916.

paragraph: He entered the ranks of the clergy upon receiving the tonsure from Andrea Ferrari on 14 June 1912. Confalonieri was eventually ordained to the priesthood on 18 March 1916 by Cardinal Ferrari. After working in the Italian Army and Milan, he was named private secretary to Achille Ratti in 1921. Confalonieri travelled with Ratti to Rome as his attendant, or conclavist, for the 1922 papal conclave, at which the Cardinal was elected to the papacy as Pius XI. He continued to serve as Ratti's secretary until the Pope's death in 1939, and during that period he was raised to the rank of Monsignor (7 February 1922), Protonotary Apostolic (24 December 1935), and canon of St. Peter's Basilica (1935). Confalonieri was intended to be appointed Substitute, or Deputy, Secretary of State in 1937, but the position instead went to Giovanni Battista Montini. Moreover, when Pope Pius XII invited Confalonieri to become Archbishop of Modena and Abbot of Nonantola on 16 December 1939, he declined.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Episcopate.

paragraph: On 27 March 1941, Confalonieri was appointed Archbishop of L'Aquila by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 4 May from Pius XII himself, with Archbishop Giuseppe Migone and Bishop Alfonso de Romanis, OSA, in the Sistine Chapel. Confalonieri became Secretary of the Sacred Congregation for Seminaries and Universities on 25 January 1950, and later Titular Archbishop of Nicopolis ad Nestum on 22 February of that same year.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Cardinalate.

paragraph: Pope John XXIII created him Cardinal-Priest of "S. Agnese fuori le mura" in the consistory of 15 December 1958, and Confalonieri was later appointed Archpriest of the Liberian Basilica on 16 November 1959. In 1961 he was made Secretary of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation and President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. From 1962 to 1965, Confalonieri attended the Second Vatican Council. He was also one of the cardinal electors in the 1963 papal conclave, which selected Pope Paul VI. He later ascended to Pro-Prefect (1966) and shortly afterwards Prefect (15 August 1967) of the Consistorial, which Pope Paul renamed as the Congregation for Bishops on 1 August 1967. He was also President of the Pontifical Commission for the Pastoral of Emigration and Tourism from 30 April 1970 until 25 February 1973, when he resigned all of his posts.

paragraph: Confalonieri was promoted to Cardinal Bishop of Palestrina on 15 March 1972. He became Vice-Dean of the College of Cardinals on 7 January 1974, and finally its Dean on 12 December 1977. His appointment as Dean of the College of Cardinals entailed the title of the suburbicarian see of Ostia, which he took in addition to his first suburbicarian see. As Dean, he led the funeral Masses for Paul VI as well as Pope John Paul I. Confalonieri was not able to participate in the conclaves of August and October 1978 for he had exceeded the age limit of 80 to be an eligible elector. However, he was the first to suggest the name of Albino Luciani, who was elected John Paul I, during the period before the August conclave. He complimented Luciani's speech and writing, also saying "the Church has chosen well" in selecting him for the papacy.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later life and death.

paragraph: He was considered a moderate in his views. At the conclave of 1963, Confalonieri was seen as a possible candidate for a transitional pope, one who is not likely to effect great change during his tenure. Yet his lack of pastoral experience was seen as a hindrance.

paragraph: He died in Rome, at age 93. His funeral Mass was held in St. Peter's Basilica three days later, on 4 August, and was presided by Pope John Paul II. After his remains were moved to his native Seveso for another funeral Mass on 5 August (presided by Giovanni Colombo), Confalonieri was buried next to his parents in their family plot at the Seveso cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Publication.

paragraph: Confalonieri published a moving tribute to Pope Pius XI with numerous valuable anecdotes.

paragraph: Section::::Mountain climbing.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Like his master Pius XI, Confalonieri greatly enjoyed mountain climbing.

paragraph: William Wadham (died 1452)

paragraph: Sir William Wadham (c.1386–1452) of Merryfield in the parish of Ilton, Somerset and Edge in the parish of Branscombe, Devon came from a West Country gentry family with a leaning towards the law, who originally took their name from the manor of Wadham in the parish of Knowstone, between South Molton and Exmoor, north Devon.

paragraph: His father, Sir John Wadham, was a Justice of the Common Pleas from 1389 to 1398, during the reign of King Richard II; one of many Devonians of the period described by Thomas Fuller in his "Worthies of England" as seemingly "innated with a genius to study law."

paragraph: William Wadham was Sheriff of Somerset and Dorset in 1438, and Sheriff of Devon in 1442.

paragraph: His monumental brass and chest tomb in the Church of St Mary, Ilminster is said by William Henry Hamilton Rogers to depict him with his mother Joan Wrottesley, daughter of Sir William Wrottesley of Blore and Joan Bassett of Drayton Bassett, both in Staffordshire. It is among the best surviving brasses from the fifteenth century, and depicts him in complete plate armour exported to England by Milanese armorers; the finest of the period. His mother is wearing 'widow's weeds'.

paragraph: William Wadham married Margaret Chiseldon, a daughter and co-heiress of John Chiseldon of the manor of Holcombe Rogus, Devon, Sheriff of Devon in 1406, who brought the Wadhams the manors of Penselwood, Aunk, South Tawton, and Rewe, where his arms impaling his wife's may be seen carved on the pews at the Church of St Mary the Virgin.

paragraph: They had eight children.

paragraph: On the death of Margaret Chiseldon, he married Katherine Payne, the widow of his cousin John 'Jenkyn' Stourton (died 1438) of the manors of Preston Plucknett and Brympton d'Evercy near Yeovil, Somerset. There were no children by this marriage.

paragraph: Sir William lies buried with his mother in the transept traditionally known as 'the Wadham aisle' in the Church of St Mary, Ilminster, built in spectacular Perpendicular English Gothic style from the local Hamstone, of which there is every reason to believe he was the builder. Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, in "South and West Somerset", described the chantry as "... a glass-house. Only the panelled buttresses seem to remain of solid wall. The windows are transomed. Decorated parapet and pinnacles".

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Sir William was the eldest surviving son and heir of the judge, Sir John Wadham of Merryfield and Edge, ancestor to Queen Jane Seymour, King Edward VI and the Seymour Dukes of Somerset, Justice of the Common Pleas from 1389 to 1398: "All I have met with him further" wrote his Devonshire biographer John Prince "is this encomium; that being free of speech, he mingled it well with discretion, so that he never touched any man how mean so ever out of order, either for sport or spight; but with alacrity of spirit and soundness of understanding menaged all his proceedings." Sir John Wadham was MP for Exeter in 1379, and for Devon in 1401 as a Knight of the Shire with Sir Philip Courtenay of Powderham, a son of the Earl of Devon.

paragraph: William Wadham's mother Joan Wrothesley was a sister of Sir Hugh Wrottesley of Blore, founder member and eighteenth Knight of the Garter in 1348. Married in 1385, Joan was the second wife of John Wadham, who had married first a certain Maud, by whom he had a son.

paragraph: Sir William's father, 'the judge', had acquired land in Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Gloucestershire, which was valued at £82 per annum in an incomplete survey of 1412, and at about £115 in his inquisition post mortem. His Devon landholdings included the manors of Silverton and half the manor of Harberton, both purchased, in 1386 and 1390 respectively, from Cecily Turberville, sister and heiress of John de Beauchamp, 3rd Baron Beauchamp of Hatch (1329–1361)), the manor of Lustleigh, purchased in 1403, and land he acquired at Branscombe and elsewhere.

paragraph: His landholdings in Somerset were even more extensive than those in Devon and mostly consisted of properties forfeited by Sir John Cary (died 1395), Chief Baron of the Exchequer. These lands included Hardington Mandeville, a moiety of Chilton Cantelo, and premises in Trent (now in Dorset) which he purchased in 1389, jointly with his lifelong friend and colleague Sir William Hankford (c1350-1423) of Annery, Monkleigh in Devon, Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 1413 until 1423, and Sir John Hill, Justice of the King's Bench from 1389 to 1407, later related to the Wadhams by marriage.

paragraph: These large landholdings in Somerset appear to have moved his principal interest away from Devon and the manor of Edge, and towards the end of his life he made his principal residence at Merryfield, Ilton, near Ilminster, Somerset, which he had purchased from Cecily Turberville. At Merryfield he built, in about 1400, a substantial fortified manor house, still known locally as 'Wadham's Castle' but demolished after 1618, of which only the rectangular moat survives today in the middle of agricultural land south of RNAS Merryfield aerodrome.

paragraph: William Wadham's sister, Margery Wadham, was the wife of John Stourton, 1st Baron Stourton (1400–1462) of Stourton in Wiltshire, great great grandparents of Queen Jane Seymour.

paragraph: Another sister, Elisabeth sometimes called 'Isabella' Wadham, married Sir Robert Hill (died 1426) of Shilston who, like his father-in-law, became a Justice of the Common Pleas, from 1408 to 1423, during the reigns of Henry Bolingbroke, later King Henry IV, and King Henry V. They retired to Shilston near Modbury in Devon where their eldest son, Robert Hill of Shilston (c.1392–1444), married Margaret Champernowne of Modbury (1396–1434), and became Sheriff of Devon in 1428.

paragraph: One of the younger sons of this marriage was Robert Hill of Houndstone, father-in-law to Sir Nicholas Wadham (died 1542) who by descent from the Champernowne, Hill and Gilbert families was a cousin of the Devonshire adventurers Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, and Sir Richard Grenville. Sir Nicholas was grandfather to the Nicholas Wadham (1531-1609) who posthumously co-founded Wadham College, Oxford with his wife Dorothy Wadham who outliving him, and in her advanced old age, saw the project through to completion.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: Sir William Wadham married Margaret Chiseldon, a daughter and co-heiress of John Chiseldon of Holcombe Rogus in Devon, and of Penselwood, Aunk, South Tawton and Rewe, who was Sheriff of Devon in 1406. Margaret Wadham's sister, Maude Chiseldon inherited the Manor of Holcombe Rogus and a moiety of the Penselwood estate, and married Sir John Bluett of the nearby Greenham Barton and Cothay Manor, Sheriff of Devon in 1445.

paragraph: Sir William and Lady Wadham had eight children including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sir John Wadham, born in 1405, the eldest son and heir, who married Elizabeth Popham, a daughter and co-heiress of Sir Stephen Popham (c. 1386 – 1444) of Popham, Hampshire, five times MP for Hampshire, who commanded on the right wing at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. Another branch of the Popham family was later seated at Huntworth in Somerset, home of Sir John Popham (c.1531–1607), Speaker of the House of Commons, Attorney General, Lord Chief Justice of England from 1592 to 1607, and financier in 1607 with Ferdinando Gorges of Popham Colony in America.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lawrence Wadham married Jane Hody, daughter of Sir William Hody (died 1524), Attorney General in 1485, Chief Baron of the Exchequer from 1485 to 1513, the son of Sir John Hody (died 1442), Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 1440 to 1442.

His inscribed monumental brass survives in Whitchurch Canonicorum Church, Dorset. William Wadham of Catherston inherited the manor of Aunk from his mother.

paragraph: BULLET::::- James Wadham, sole patron of the living of Penselwood in 1481. The Penselwood estate stayed in the Wadham family until the death in 1609 of Nicholas Wadham.

paragraph: On November 10, 2014, the Senior Bowl announced that Amos had accepted their invitation to play in the 2015 Senior Bowl. Prior to the Senior Bowl and combine, Amos was projected to be a fourth or fifth round pick and was ranked as the sixth best free safety prospect by NFLDraftScout.com. On January 24, 2015, Amos attended the Senior Bowl and recorded two solo tackles to help the North defeat the South 34–13. Amos attended the NFL combine and performed well, completing almost all of the combine drills, but chose to skip the bench press. His 40-yard dash time of 4.39s ranked seventh among all safeties and his 4.03s time in the three-cone drill ranked second amongst his position. He also finished in the top twenty among safeties at the combine in the 20-yard short shuttle and the 60-yard shuttle. On March 19, 2015, Amos opted to participate at Penn State's pro day, along with Mike Hull, Donovan Smith, Jesse James, Sam Ficken, Miles Dieffenbach, Deion Barnes, and three other teammates. He decided to perform the bench press, 40-yard dash, and positional drills for the team representatives and scouts from 19 NFL teams in attendance. He had an impressive performance overall and decreased his time in the 40-yard dash from 4.56s at the combine to 4.37s and 4.40s. Amos attended private visits or workouts for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Baltimore Ravens. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Amos was projected to be a second to fourth round pick by the majority of NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked the second best free safety prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com and was ranked the 13th best safety by NFL analyst Charles Davis.

paragraph: The Chicago Bears selected Amos in the fifth round (142nd overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. The Bears previously acquired the pick by trading wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the New York Jets. He was the eighth safety selected during the draft in 2016 and only one of three Penn State players drafted in 2016, along with Donovan Smith (second round, 34th overall) and Jesse James (fifth round, 160th overall).

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Bears.:2015.

paragraph: On May 5, 2015, the Chicago Bears signed Amos to a four-year, $2.51 million contract with a signing bonus of $232,280.

paragraph: Throughout training camp, he competed with Brock Vereen and Sherrod Martin for the vacant free safety position left by the departure of Chris Conte during free agency. Head coach John Fox named Amos the starting free safety over Vereen after he had an impressive performance in the Chicago Bears' preseason-opener against the Green Bay Packers. He began the season alongside Antrel Rolle, the team's starting strong safety.

paragraph: He made his professional regular season debut and first career start in the Bears' regular season-opener against the Green Bay Packers and recorded five solo tackles in a 31–23 loss. On November 22, 2015, Amos recorded seven solo tackles and made his first career sack on Denver Broncos' quarterback Brock Osweiler during a 17–15 loss. The following game, he collected a season-high nine combined tackles in a 17–13 victory over the Packers on "Thursday Night Football". Amos started all 16 games in his rookie season and made 67 combined tackles (57 solo), two pass deflections, and a sack. At the end of his rookie season, Amos was selected on Pro Football Writers All-Rookie Team along with defensive lineman Eddie Goldman.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Bears.:2016.

paragraph: He was in competition with rookie DeAndre Houston-Carson for the free safety position throughout training camp. He was named the starting free safety to begin the season, opposite strong safety Harold Jones-Quartey.

paragraph: Amos started the Chicago Bears' season-opener against the Houston Texans and made five solo tackles during their 23–14 loss. On October 20, 2016, Amos recorded a season-high eight combined tackles in the Bears' 26–10 loss at the Green Bay Packers. After starting 27 consecutive games to start his career, Amos missed a Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers with a foot injury. Amos finished the season with 65 combined tackles (57 solo) and five pass deflections in 15 games and 14 starts. Pro Football Focus gave him a grade of 80.6 for the 2016 season.

paragraph: On April 26, 2016, Amos, along with tight end Zach Miller, were awarded the Brian Piccolo Award. Although the Chicago Bears finished 3–13, the defense finished seventh in passing defense and 15th in total defense. Amos failed to record an interception in his first two seasons and the Bears ranked 31st with only eight interceptions in 2016.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Bears.:2017.

paragraph: During the Bears' training camp, Amos competed with Chris Prosinski and rookie Eddie Jackson for his job as starting free safety. He was named the backup to Jackson to start the 2017 season.

paragraph: Amos played sparingly through the first three games and only logged 16 snaps on defense with no tackles. Amos became the starting strong safety, opposite Eddie Jackson, for Week 4 after Quintin Demps suffered a fractured forearm the previous game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and was placed on injured reserve. On September 28, 2017, Amos made his first start of the season and recorded eight combined tackles during a 45–13 loss at the Green Bay Packers. On October 15, 2017, he recorded eight combined tackles, deflected two passes, and intercepted his first career pass off a pass attempt by Joe Flacco, returning it for a 90-yard touchdown during the Bears' 27–24 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The interception he returned for a touchdown also marked the first touchdown of his career and came in the fourth quarter to put the Bears up 24–14. During a Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Amos tied his season-high of eight solo tackles in Chicago's 23–16 loss.

paragraph: Henry Krokatsis

paragraph: Henry Krokatsis (born 1965) is an English artist, based in London. Krokatsis works with a wide range of materials, from smoke, found wood, broken glass, and antique mirrors, creating objects that oscillate between the "destitute and the divine". He has had numerous solo exhibitions, his work has been shown in Guggenheim Collection Venice, City Gallery Prague, De La Warr Pavilion, The New Art Gallery Walsall, among others. In 2015 Krokatsis was invited by the Danish Museum, Ordrupgaard, to create a show using works from their collection of the iconic Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi and his own 'mirror works'.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.:Education.

paragraph: In 1985 Krokatsis attended Liverpool Polytechnic, where he received his BA Fine Art, graduating in 1988. In the same year he went on to attend the Royal College of Art, completing his MA in Painting in 1990.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.:Work.

paragraph: Krokatsis works with a wide range of materials, often found or otherwise redundant materials such as broken mirrors, used votive candles, reclaimed wood, and antique mirrors.

paragraph: "I used the remnants of Votive candles. Someone comes to church and makes a prayer. There are often two inches left after the candle is burnt though. Those bits are thrown away and I collect them. You take your fresh candle and it’s only for your prayer. It’s an object invested with belief and hope. It’s the medium for intense spiritual outpouring but the remaining bits are just chucked."

paragraph: The use of votive candles can be seen in works such as See Better Daze, 2008, a pair of huge stag antlers mounted on a bronzed mirror, moulded from the stubs of 4,321 votive candles, collected over the course of a year.

paragraph: Krokatsis’ smoke drawings reflect these concerns: made from the smoke from a burning rag held over a cutout template, the artist controls and directs the intensity of the fumes, creating different layers, surfaces and contrasts, but the process is also exposed to the contingency of chance and accident. The resultant images have a haunting, residual quality, partly due to their often ambiguous

paragraph: subject matter, as if the record of some event, image or memory revealed unknowingly over time.

paragraph: ‘this is not art to make sense of the world – it is an act of faith, it’s art as a spell’.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.:Public Works.

paragraph: Krokatsis has been commissioned on various occasions to produce public works, such as the permanent memorial for Joseph Grimaldi, Joseph Grimaldi Park, Islington, Helter Skelter Lighthouse, Eastnor Castle, and Turning Tree, in Ladywell Fields, Lewisham, Kabin for Frieze sculpture park in Regent's Park and Confiteor for Ordrupgaard Sculpture garden, Copenhagen.

paragraph: In 2013 Krokatsis won a 'hotly-contested' commission from Hastings Borough Council, to produce a public sculpture to adorn the town's seafront. His proposed 13 m (42 ft) polished aluminium Helter Skelter, with the texture of rough-hewn wood, beat out competition from Marcus Harvey, Oliver Marsden, Marete Masrusman, Graham Rich, and St Clair de Cemin.

paragraph: However the £100,000 commission was later axed by Hastings Borough Council after a backlash from a small number of "nostalgia fetishists" living locally, who disliked the proposed sculpture. Krokatsis received "vitriolic hate mail" and a crude 12 metre high replica of his Helter Skelter was burned at annual Hastings bonfire celebration.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.:Personal life.

paragraph: Krokatsis, whose work often explores religious themes, has a mixed religious background. Krokatsis is the son of a Greek Orthodox father, and a Jewish mother, and a practitioner of Taoist Ba Gua moving meditation.

paragraph: Jean-André Deluc

paragraph: Jean-André Deluc or de Luc (8 February 1727 – 7 November 1817) was a Swiss geologist, natural philosopher and meteorologist. He also devised measuring instruments.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Jean-André Deluc was born in Geneva. His family had come to the Republic of Geneva from Lucca, Italy, in the 15th century. His mother was Françoise Huaut. His father, Jacques-François Deluc, had written in refutation of Bernard Mandeville and other rationalistic writers, but he was also a decided supporter of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

paragraph: As a student of Georges-Louis Le Sage, Jean-André Deluc received a basic education in mathematics and in natural philosophy. He engaged early in business, which occupied a large part of his first adult years, with the exception of scientific investigation in the Alps. With the help of his brother Guillaume-Antoine, he built a splendid collection of mineralogy and fossils.

paragraph: Deluc also took part in politics. In 1768, sent on an embassy to the duc de Choiseul in Paris, he succeeded in gaining the duke's friendship. In 1770 he became a member of the Council of Two Hundred in Geneva.

paragraph: Three years later, business reverses forced him to leave his native town; he returned, briefly, only once. The change freed him for non-scientific pursuits; with little regret he moved to Great Britain in 1773, where he was appointed reader to Queen Charlotte, a position he held for forty-four years and that afforded him both leisure and income.

paragraph: Despite his duties at court, he was given leave to make several tours of Switzerland, France, Holland and Germany. At the beginning of his German tour (1798–1804), he was distinguished with an honorary professorship of philosophy and geology at the University of Göttingen, which helped to cover diplomatic missions for the king George III. Back to Britain, he undertook a geological tour of the country (1804–1807).

paragraph: In 1773 Deluc was made a fellow of the Royal Society; he was a correspondent of the French Academy of Sciences and a member of several other learned societies. He died at Windsor, Berkshire, England, in 1817, after nearly 70 years of research. Deluc, an impact crater on the Moon, was given his name.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific contributions.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific contributions.:Observations and theory.

paragraph: Deluc's main interests were geology and meteorology; Georges Cuvier mentions him as an authority on the former subject. His major geological work, "Lettres physiques et morales sur les montagnes et sur l'histoire de la terre et de l'homme" (6 vol., 1778–1780), was dedicated to Queen Charlotte. He published volumes on geological travels: in northern Europe (1810), in England (1811), and in France, Switzerland and Germany (1813).

paragraph: Deluc noticed the disappearance of heat in the thawing of ice about the same time that Joseph Black made it the foundation of his hypothesis of latent heat. He ascertained that water was densest at about 40 °F (4 °C) (and not at the freezing temperature); he was the originator of the theory, later reactivated by John Dalton, that the quantity of water vapour contained in any space is independent of the presence or density of the air, or of any other elastic fluid.

paragraph: His book "Lettres sur l'histoire physique de la terre" (Paris, 1798), addressed to Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, develops a theory of the Earth divided into six periods modelled on the six days of Creation. It contains an essay on the existence of a General Principle of Morality and gives an interesting account of conversations with Voltaire and Rousseau. Deluc was an ardent admirer of Francis Bacon, on whose writings he published two works: "Bacon tel qu'il est" (Berlin, 1800), showing the bad faith of the French translator, who had omitted many passages favourable to revealed religion, and "Précis de la philosophie de Bacon" (2 vols 8vo, Paris, 1802), giving an interesting view of the progress of natural science. "Lettres sur le christianisme" (Berlin and Hanover, 1803) was a controversial correspondence with Wilhelm Abraham Teller of Berlin in regard to the Mosaic cosmogony. His "Traité élémentaire de géologie" (Paris, 1809, translated into English by Henry de la Fite the same year) was principally intended as a refutation of James Hutton and John Playfair. They had shown that geology was driven by the operation of internal heat and erosion, but their system required much more time than Deluc's Mosaic variety of neptunism allowed.

paragraph: Many other papers are in the "Journal de Physique", in the "Philosophical Transactions" and in the "Philosophical Magazine".

paragraph: Section::::Scientific contributions.:Instruments.

paragraph: Deluc dedicated a large part of his activity to perfecting or inventing measuring instruments.

paragraph: He devised a portable barometer for use in geological expeditions. His "Recherches sur les modifications de l'atmosphère" (2 vols. 4to, Geneva, 1772; 2nd ed., 4 vols. Paris, 1784) contain experiments on moisture, evaporation and the indications of hygrometers and thermometers. He applied the barometer to the determination of heights. The "Philosophical Transactions" published his account of a new hygrometer, which resembled a mercurial thermometer, with an ivory bulb, which expanded by moisture, and caused the mercury to descend. He later devised a whalebone hygrometer which sparked a bitter controversy with Horace-Bénédict de Saussure, himself inventor of a hair hygrometer. He gave the first correct rules for measuring heights with the help of a barometer. Deluc advocated the use of mercury, instead of alcohol, in thermometers.

paragraph: In 1809 he sent a long paper to the Royal Society on separating the chemical from the electrical effect of the dry pile, a form of Voltaic pile, with a description of the electric column and aerial electroscope, in which he advanced opinions contradicting the latest discoveries of the day; they were deemed inappropriate to admit into the "Transactions". The dry column described by Deluc was constructed by various scientists and his improvement of the dry pile has been regarded as his most important work, although he was not in fact its inventor. He was a valued mentor to the young Francis Ronalds, who published several papers on dry piles in 1814–15.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific contributions.:Scriptural and observational data.

paragraph: The last decades of Deluc's life were occupied with theological considerations. In his controversy with Hutton, "while never arguing that Hutton was an atheist, Deluc did accuse him of failing to counter atheism sufficiently".

paragraph: He took care in reconciling observational data and the Scriptures considered as a description of the history of the world. In his "Lettres physiques et morales" he explained the six days of the creation as epochs preceding the current state of the globe, and attributed the deluge to the filling up of cavities in the interior of the earth.

paragraph: The subject is discussed at length by Martina Kölbl-Ebert in "Geology and Religion".

paragraph: Eliezer ben Nathan

paragraph: Eliezer ben Nathan () of Mainz (1090–1170), or Ra'aven (), was a halakist and liturgical poet. As an early Rishon, he was a contemporary of the Rashbam and Rabbeinu Tam, and one of the earliest of the Tosafists. He was the son-in-law of Rabbi Eliakim b. Joseph of Mainz, a fellow student of Rashi. Through his four daughters Eliezer became the ancestor of several learned families which exerted a great influence upon religious life in the subsequent centuries. One of his great-grandsons was R. Asher b. Jehiel (ROSH), father of R. Jacob, author of the "Ṭurim".

paragraph: Section::::"Eben ha-'Ezer".

paragraph: Eliezer proves himself conscientious and careful in his decisions, and in his reverence for tradition he is inclined to accept extremely rigid interpretations of the Law. Solomon's injunction (Prov. i. 8), "Forsake not the teaching of thy mother," he interprets as meaning, "What the older rabbis have prohibited we must not permit" (No. 10). The chapters on civil law contain many an interesting document, and also a statement of commercial relations occasioned by various trials. They contain precise statements of the prices of goods and accurate information concerning commercial usages in the Rhineland and in distant Slavic countries; e.g., concerning the golden trade routes in Strasburg and Speyer (fol. 145b); the coinage of the time (Zunz, "Z. G." p. 5b); and the export trade with Galicia and southern Russia (No. 5). Slavicion customs and character are also discussed in connection with ritual matters. Among the decisions are some containing interpretations of Biblical and Talmudic sayings; one of them (No. 119) even presenting a connected commentary on Prov. xxx. 1-6, in which R. Saadia's view is cited—namely, that Isthiel and Ucal were the names of two men who addressed philosophical questions to Agur ben Jakeh.

paragraph: The work mentions the year 1152, and must therefore have been completed after that date. The year 1247, which occurs on two copies, may be credited to later transcribers. In the subsequent centuries Eliezer came to be regarded as a great authority, but his work was little known. Not until its importance had been specially urged by the most influential rabbis of Poland—Mordecai Jafe, Samuel Eliezer Edels (Maharsha), Solomon Ephraim Luntschitz, among others, in a formal appeal issued from Posen in 1609—was its publication undertaken.

paragraph: Section::::As liturgical poet.

paragraph: Eliezer wrote numerous yoẓerot, seliḥot, and other piyyuṭim; very few of them, however, have been incorporated in the German and Polish liturgy. The "Akapperah Pene Melek" in the seliḥot to the musaf of the Day of Atonement is an example. His poetical productions are valuable only as an index to his devout nature and to his estimate of the importance of the liturgy. They are distinguished for neither originality, elevation of thought, nor elegance of diction. With their allusions to haggadic interpretations, their employment of payyeṭan phraseology, acrostics, rimes, and similar mechanical devices, they differ little from many other liturgical productions. Some of these poems he seems to have written on special occasions. Thus, one piyyuṭ composed for a circumcision occurring on the Sabbath bears at the close the cipher "ABN," and the words "Long live my child Eliakim." Altogether twenty-five piyyuṭim of his are known. One of his seliḥot depicts the persecutions of the First Crusade (1096); another, those of 1146.

paragraph: Section::::As commentator.

paragraph: To Eliezer is attributed the commentary on the Maḥzor published in Ostroh in 1830. Some of Eliezer's expositions are mentioned in a commentary on the festal prayers called "Ḳorban Aharon." Mention is also made of a commentary on Abot, from which Jehiel Morawtschik, in his "Minḥah Ḥadashah," written in 1576 after a manuscript of the year 1145, makes quotations.

paragraph: Section::::As chronicler: persecution of 1096.

paragraph: Eliezer is also supposed to be the author of a history of the terrible events of 1096, the year of the Rhineland massacres, part of the People's Crusade. It expressed great antipathy towards the Christian crusaders, and wrestled with the matter of why God would allow so many Jews to be massacred. The persecutions of the Jewish communities in the towns along the Rhine, the horrible butcheries that were perpetrated, are faithfully depicted here in chronological order.

paragraph: In this work various acrostic verses contain the name "Eliezer b. Nathan." In deference to a passage in Joseph ha-Kohen's "Emeḳ ha-Baka," p. 31, which makes a certain Eleazar ha-Levi the author, some writers (as Landshuth and H. Grätz) have denied Eliezer's authorship of this chronicle. This view, however, was refuted around 1900. The chronicle was first edited by Adolph Jellinek ("Zur Geschichte der Kreuzzüge," Leipsic, 1854); and was republished as "Hebräische Berichte über die Judenverfolgungen Während der Kreuzzüge," by A. Neubauer and Stern, together with a German translation, in the "Quellen zur Geschichte der Juden in Deutschland," ii., Berlin, 1892.

paragraph: Pedro Mexía

paragraph: Pedro Mejía (old Spanish spelling: Pero Mexía), (between 17 January and 6 September 1497 – 17 January 1551) was a Spanish Renaissance writer, humanist and historian.

paragraph: He was born and died in Seville, where he lived for the majority of his life and for which there is always a special affection in his writings.

paragraph: He studied humanities and law at Seville and Salamanca universities. He maintained correspondence with Erasmus of Rotterdam, Luis Vives and Juan Gines de Sepulveda. In 1548, he was appointed official chronicler of the court of Emperor Charles V.

paragraph: His major work is "Silva de varia lección" ("A Miscellany of Several Lessons") (1540), which became an early best seller across Europe. It was reprinted 17 times in the sixteenth century and was translated into Italian (1542), French (1552) and English (1571). Within a century, "Silva" reached 31 editions in Spanish, and 75 in foreign languages. It is an encyclopedic miscellany or mixture of subjects of interest across the diverse repertoire of humanistic knowledge of the time. The work takes material from the "Attic Nights" by Aulus Gellius, the "Banquet of the Sophists" by Athenaeus, the "Saturnalia" of Macrobius, the "Memorable deeds and sayings" of Valerius Maximus, the "Inventor of all things" by Polidoro Virgilio, the "Moralia" and "Parallel Lives" of Plutarch and, above all, the "Natural History" of Pliny the Elder. It also contains work by Erasmus of Rotterdam. Traces of this miscellany can be found in works by Mateo Alemán, Miguel de Cervantes, Shakespeare and Montaigne, to mention only a few of the authors he influenced.

paragraph: Other major works by Mexia are "Historia imperial y cesárea" (1545), "Historia del Emperador Carlos V" (unfinished and unpublished) and "Coloquios y Diálogos" (1547).

paragraph: Carlo Caracciolo

paragraph: "Don" Carlo Caracciolo, 9th Prince of Castagneto, 4th Duke of Melito (Florence, 23 October 1925 – Rome, 15 December 2008) was an Italian publisher. He created Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso, one of Italy's leading publishing groups. He was known as "the editor prince," referring to his aristocratic birth and elegant manner.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The oldest of three children, Caracciolo was born in Florence to Filippo Caracciolo, 8th Principe di Castagneto, 3rd Duca di Melito and American heiress Margaret Clarke. He was an older brother to Marella Agnelli, the wife of Fiat chairman Gianni Agnelli and half-sibling of film producer Ettore Rosboch von Wolkenstein (whose daughter Bloomberg journalist Elisabetta "Lili", Carlo's goddaughter, married Prince Amedeo of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este). At 18, he fought in the Italian resistance in World War II. After the war he attended Harvard Law School and worked for a New York law firm that had as a partner Allen Dulles, future head of the CIA. In the United States he began to show a serious interest in publishing.

paragraph: In 1951, he moved into publishing in Milan, and in 1955 set up the N.E.R. ("Nuove Edizioni Romane") publishing house with the progressive industrialist Adriano Olivetti, manufacturer of Olivetti typewriters. In October 1955 the company founded the news magazine "L'Espresso" with editors Arrigo Benedetti and Eugenio Scalfari.

paragraph: Caracciolo was a man of the liberal left. He disdained his aristocratic title, but betrayed it in his elegance of dress and manner. He believed that a modern postwar Italian republic should be run on lay rather than religious principles, and his news outlets campaigned for reform of the laws governing divorce and abortion.

paragraph: "L'Espresso" was characterized from the beginning by an aggressive investigative journalism strongly focussed on corruption and clientelism by the Christian Democrat party. This made the main shareholder Olivetti unpopular with the ministries and large companies that were the primary customers of his main business. In 1956, with the magazine losing money, Olivetti made Caracciolo a present of the majority shareholding.

paragraph: In 1976 he and Eugenio Scalfari, with backing from the publisher Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, set up the daily newspaper "La Repubblica". Founded in Rome as a national newspaper and published in the novel tabloid size.

paragraph: In 1984, shortly before it began to outsell the prestigious "Corriere della Sera", Caracciolo took his publishing activities to the Italian stock exchange. Four years later he sold his holdings in "Editoriale L'Espresso" to Mondadori. In 1990, however, he was shocked to learn that Mondadori's heirs had sold out to Silvio Berlusconi, whose politics he detested. After much in-fighting and litigation, the news publications were hived off into the "Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso" controlled by the CIR Group of entrepreneur Carlo De Benedetti, of which Caracciolo remained honorary president until 2006.

paragraph: In 1991, Caracciolo and his wife Violante Visconti purchased the Torrecchia Vecchia estate, and subsequently developed its villa with architect Gae Aulenti, around which they created a notable, English-style garden to designs by Dan Pearson and others.

paragraph: In 2007, a year after he retired from the Espresso Group to become its honorary chairman, he bought a 33 percent share in the French newspaper Libération.

paragraph: He died in Rome, aged 83. According to his biographer and former co-editor of "L'Espresso", Nello Ajello : "He set an example for free and independent editorial content that initially seemed marginal and exclusive and instead became a major force in Italian newspaper publishing".

paragraph: In June 1989, he was awarded the Italian Order of Merit for Labour.

paragraph: Murray Deaker is a New Zealand sports radio and television talk show host and sports author.

paragraph: Deaker was educated at Dunedin's King's High School, the same school in which fellow broadcaster Peter Montgomery attended. He worked as a teacher prior to his media career, including at Orewa College.

paragraph: Deaker was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003. Deaker has acted as a mentor for sports personalities such as Jesse Ryder, a New Zealand cricketer.

paragraph: Deaker has conducted a number of high profile interviews, including the last interview with Tiger Woods before his tabloid controversies of 2009. Deaker fell into his own bunker of controversy in 2011, with a racially sensitive slur in reference to a colleague. Despite the NZ Race Relations Commissioner describing the turn of phrase as "Not appropriate" and a weight of public outrage reminiscent of fellow broadcaster Paul Holmes' "Cheaky Darkie" saga and Paul Henry's derogatory comment about an Indian Diplomat with the surname "Dikshit", Deaker's network described the phrase as "widely used". Deaker later apologised, stating "It was a bad choice of words and I apologise unreservedly".

paragraph: In March 2012, Mr Deaker again became enmeshed in another controversy after allegedly offensive remarks about All Black and Muslim Sonny Bill Williams

paragraph: At the end of 2013 Deaker, then aged 68 years, announced he would move on from his position at Newstalk ZB and from his Sky TV programme, Deaker on Sport. "Timing is everything in sport and life. I want to get out while I'm still at the top of my game. There are fresh challenges that I am keen to have a crack at," says Deaker.

paragraph: Murray Deaker won the Best Sports Presenter at the Radio Awards seven times and was a finalist on 10 other occasions. In 2009 he received the award Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for Services to Broadcasting. His radio programmes have consistently rated number one.

paragraph: Henry of Essex

paragraph: Henry of Essex or Henry de Essex (died c. 1170) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman who held the honours of Rayleigh (by inheritance) and Haughley (by right of his second wife). He was also one of the royal constables during the reigns of Kings Stephen and Henry II by right of his second wife. That office included the duty of bearing the royal standard to indicate the location of the king when on campaign or in battle. He was convicted as a traitor and took the habit in 1163, spending his last years at Reading Abbey.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Henry was the son and heir of Robert fitz Swein of Essex, a descendant of the pre-conquest landowner Robert fitz Wimarch who was favored by King Edward the Confessor.

paragraph: Henry is mentioned in several chronicles, including that of Jocelin of Brakelond. His influence at the royal court was greatest during the reign of Stephen, but it continued into the early years of Henry II's. He served Henry as Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire from 1156 to 1159 and as a justiciar, as well as being his constable. Henry participated in the king's Toulouse campaign in the spring and summer of 1159.

paragraph: After he dropped the royal standard in a Welsh ambush during Henry II's campaign into Wales of 1157, however, his political importance waned. As royal constable, his office required that he hold the standard to indicate the king's position during any military engagement. Dropping the standard seemed to signal the king's death. At the royal court held at Easter, 1163, Henry was accused of treason for that act by a claimant to the Montfort estate of Haughley. The two men fought a judicial duel a few months later. Jocelin details Henry's judicial duel with Robert de Montfort (a rival for Henry's wife's inheritance) on Fry's Island in the River Thames at Reading. Henry's body was carried senseless from the site of the duel by monks of the nearby Reading Abbey, but he survived and took the Benedictine cowl. As he was a convicted traitor, however, his estates and offices were forfeit, and his family was disgraced. Henry was allowed to remain as a monk at Reading Abbey, where he remained for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Henry of Essex is thought to have died at Reading Abbey in the same year that Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered, 1170.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Henry married firstly Cecily; they had least at two sons, Henry and Hugh. His second wife was Alice, probably the daughter and heiress of Robert de Vere, the royal constable (d. circa 1151). It is unknown which wife was the mother of Henry's daughter, Agnes, who married Aubrey de Vere, first Earl of Oxford, as his third wife, but Alice seems most likely.
