paragraph: John Dehlin

paragraph: John Parkinson Dehlin is a podcast host. A former member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), Dehlin founded the Mormon Stories Podcast, as well as several other Mormon-themed podcasts, blogs, and web sites, was an influential early participant in the Mormon blogosphere, and blogs at Patheos.com. He has advocated for the rights of skeptics in Mormonism, LGBT rights, equality for women, and other individual views outside mainstream Mormonism.

paragraph: Section::::Youth and early career.

paragraph: Born in Boise, Idaho and raised in Katy, Texas, he attended Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 1993.

paragraph: After graduation, Dehlin worked for five years in software and as a consultant for Bain & Company, Arthur Andersen, Citicorp, Heidrick & Struggles, and the LDS Church. He then worked at Microsoft for seven years in programs for developers, marketing, speech technologies, and product demos. Dehlin's brother, Joel Dehlin, also worked at Microsoft, and became the chief information officer of the LDS Church in 2004.

paragraph: In 2004, Dehlin moved to Logan, Utah, to begin work under David A. Wiley at Utah State University (USU) on OpenCourseWare-related projects. Dehlin would serve two years as USU's OpenCourseWare Consortium Coordinator and Director of Outreach for the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning, promoting OpenCourseWare to other universities, and a few years as director of the OpenCourseWare Consortium for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2007, while at USU, Dehlin also completed a Master of Science degree in Instructional Technology. In January 2007, MIT hired Dehlin as the Director of the OpenCourseWare Consortium. In 2015 Dehlin received his doctorate in clinical and counseling psychology at USU.

paragraph: Section::::New media.

paragraph: Section::::New media.:Sunstone.

paragraph: During Dehlin's early career developing massive open online courses (MOOCs) he had branched into Latter-day Saint themed new media. Dehlin approached the Sunstone Education Foundation and presented to its Board of Directors about the importance of participating in developing internet communities through blogging and podcasting, in order to address the then limited internet presence for constructive Mormon intellectual sources. The Board accepted his offer to initiate these programs and, in September 2005, Dehlin joined the Board of Directors and began a Sunstone podcast as well as "SunstoneBlog". In July 2007, he also became executive director of the Sunstone Education Foundation, in which he was to focus on strategic initiatives to strengthen Sunstone's position as an open forum for Mormon issues. In that role, he increased organizational focus on its longstanding motto, "faith seeking understanding", and worked to attract new and younger membership. Dehlin resigned from Sunstone in January 2008.

paragraph: Section::::New media.:"Mormon Stories".

paragraph: In September 2005, after experiencing doubts in his faith and subsequently finding reasons to remain a member of the LDS Church, Dehlin created the Mormon Stories podcast as an open discussion of Mormon issues, intending to give listeners reasons to remain in the church. Through interviews, Mormon Stories focused on varying Mormon experiences and perspectives. Mormon Stories has been featured in many venues, including being broadcast on KVNU in Logan, Utah.

paragraph: Intermittently conflicted about continuing "Mormon Stories", Dehlin stopped and restarted the project a few times. In January 2010 Dehlin resumed the blog and podcast, focusing on faith crises and mental illness. The podcast has featured many notable guests, beginning with interviews of Joanna Brooks and John C. Hamer. Two other regular hosts joined Dehlin in conducting interviews for the podcast: Dan Wotherspoon, former editor of "Sunstone" magazine; and Natasha Helfer Parker, a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist.

paragraph: Section::::New media.:Other blogs.

paragraph: In June 2007, Dehlin started "Mormon Matters" as a blog and weekly podcast. The format was a discussion panel on events, culture, politics and spirituality within Mormonism. Panelists were to represent different sides of each issue, although the show later struggled to retain regular conservative LDS panelists. In early 2008, Dehlin converted "Mormon Matters" into a group blog and lessened emphasis on new podcast episodes. Dehlin resumed the "Mormon Matters" podcast on March 5, 2011 with Dan Wotherspoon as the host, and Joanna Brooks as a frequent co-host.

paragraph: Dehlin is also the co-founder of the pro-LGBT "Mormons for Marriage" website. He co-founded "Stay LDS", a community that was dedicated to helping unorthodox Mormons stay in the LDS Church.

paragraph: Dehlin briefly blogged at a non-partisan religion website Patheos.com in a current-issues/events dialogue format with Mormon studies scholar Patrick Q. Mason.

paragraph: Section::::LDS Church membership.

paragraph: From 1988 to 1990, Dehlin served as an LDS Church missionary in Guatemala. According to Dehlin, his mission began baptizing up to 700 converts per month using practices he believed to be deceptive. After reporting this to an apostle, Dallin H. Oaks, Dehlin was transferred and finished his two-year missionary term in Tempe, Arizona. Dehlin remained an active, faithful member of the LDS Church for the next 20 years.

paragraph: In the Spring of 2011, Dehlin stated he had become inactive in the LDS Church (i.e., not attending weekly services), citing an inability to believe some of the church's claims. In 2014, Dehlin was investigated by his local church leaders regarding his online activity, culminating in a request by Dehlin for greater privacy.

paragraph: Prior to 2014, Dehlin had faced church disciplinary hearings without any resulting disciplinary action. In January 2015, Dehlin's stake president initiated another disciplinary council, which determined Dehlin's online activity constituted apostasy. He was excommunicated for "conduct contrary to the laws and order of the church." Dehlin appealed to the First Presidency on March 10, 2015, stating his actions had not met the church's definition of apostasy. In July and August 2015, the First Presidency notified Dehlin via his stake president of the denial of his appeal.

paragraph: Shmelke of Nikolsburg

paragraph: Rabbi Shmuel Shmelke Halevi Horovitz of Nikolsburg (1726 in Chortkiv, Galicia, Poland – April 28, 1778 in Nikolsburg, Moravia) was one of the great early Chasidic Rebbes.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was named Shmuel ben Tzvi Hersh HaLevi (Horowitz) (commonly known by the diminutive "Shmelke") and was the oldest son of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Horowitz of Chortkiv. A Levite, Shmuel Shmelke traced his lineage back directly to the prophet Samuel who was also a Levite.

paragraph: In their early years, he and his brother Pinchas - who would also become a famous rabbi - studied Torah together. After traveling to Mezritch and meeting the great chasidic master Dovber of Mezeritch, they became his ardent followers.

paragraph: After serving as rabbi in Ryczywół and Shineva, Horowitz was invited, in 1773, to become the rabbi of Nikolsburg in Moravia, where he served until 1778. On the first day of his being rabbi of Nikolsburg, Abraham Trebitsch, a native of Nikolsburg, reported him performing a miracle and bringing rain. It is told that his strong attachment to Chasidus angered many members of the community, which led to bitter quarrels that were quelled as a result of the personal intervention of Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk.

paragraph: Section::::His students.

paragraph: He was a mentor of Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev; they were both disciples of the Maggid of Mezritch.

paragraph: Shmuel Shmelke established a major yeshiva that attracted numerous outstanding students. Among these were such luminaries as Rabbis

paragraph: Section::::Dynasty.

paragraph: At the time of the founding of the Nikolsburg dynasty, Nikolsburg was the capital of Moravia, a province within Austria-Hungary (subsequently a part of Czechoslovakia).

paragraph: Earlier rabbis of the area included Yom-Tov Lipman Heller and the MaHaRaL of Prague.

paragraph: As capital of Moravia, the chief rabbi of Nikolsburg was automatically chief rabbi of Moravia - as per Shmuel Shmelke, in his time.

paragraph: The Nikolsburg Hasidic dynasty and the Boston Hasidic dynasty descend from him.

paragraph: Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib

paragraph: Safiyya bint Abd al-Muttalib (; – (53 BH to 18 AH) was a companion and aunt of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Safiyya was the daughter of Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim and Halah bint Wuhayb ibn Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah, hence the full sister of Hamza and an aunt of Muhammad and Ali. She was also the maternal aunt of Uthman's mother Arwa bint Kurayz.She was about ten years old when her father died, and an elegy for him is attributed to her.

paragraph: poem"I could not sleep for the voices of the keening women,"

paragraph: "Bewailing a man on the crown of life's road ..."

paragraph: "The generous Shayba, full of merits ..."

paragraph: "A very rain when camels had no milk ..."

paragraph: "Could men be immortal through ancient glory,"

paragraph: "(Alas immortality is unobtainable!)"

paragraph: "He would make his last night endure for ever"

paragraph: "Through his surpassing glory and long descent."/poem

paragraph: Section::::Marriages.

paragraph: She was first married to Harith ibn Harb, and their son was Safi ibn Harith. They were apparently divorced by 593.

paragraph: Her second husband was Awwam ibn Khuwaylid, a brother of Khadija, who lived next door to them. Safiyya and Awwam had three sons: Al-Zubayr, Al-Sa'ib and Abdulkaaba. Awwam died while their children were young.

paragraph: Safiyya used to beat her son Al-Zubayr severely. The neighbours protested about this. "You have killed him! You have wrenched his heart. Will you destroy the boy?" Safiya replied, "I beat him so that he will be intelligent and will be bold in the battle."

paragraph: Section::::Conversion to Islam.

paragraph: When Muhammad began preaching in public, he gave a special warning to the members of his immediate family.

paragraph: "O Quraysh people! Buy yourselves! I cannot save you from Allah. O Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib! I cannot save you from Allah. O Safiya bint Abd al-Muttalib! I cannot save you from Allah. O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask what you wish from my property, but I cannot save you from Allah."

paragraph: Safiyyah became a Muslim and took the oath of allegiance to Muhammad. She joined the general emigration to Medina in 622.

paragraph: Section::::Emigration to Medina.

paragraph: Section::::Emigration to Medina.:Battle of Uhud.

paragraph: When the Muslims fled from Uhud in 625, Safiyya met them with a spear in her hand, accusing them of deserting their prophet. Her son Al-Zubayr warned her, "Mother, keep back!" She approached and looked at what her son had tried to hide from her: the mutilated corpse of her brother Hamza. An elegy for Hamza is attributed to her:

paragraph: poem"God the true, the Lord of the Throne,"

paragraph: "called him to live in Paradise in joy ..."

paragraph: "I'll never forget thee as long as the east wind blows,"

paragraph: "in sorrow and weeping, whether at home or in travel ..."

paragraph: "Would that my limbs and bones were there for hyenas and vultures to visit ..."/poem

paragraph: Section::::Emigration to Medina.:Battle of the Trench.

paragraph: During the Battle of the Trench in 627, Safiyya was among the Muslim women who were placed for safety in Fari, the fortress of Hassan ibn Thabit. Safiyyah noticed a Jew in the grounds of the fortress and "feared that he would discover our weakness and inform the Jews who were in our rear while the apostle and his companions were too occupied to help us." She told Hassan to go down and kill him. When Hassan hesitated, she went down "stealthily", opened the door "little by little" until she could creep up behind the supposed spy, then hit him with a club and killed him. She then told Hassan to strip the corpse, but Hassan still refused to act. (Note that Ibn Saad attributes this episode to the Battle of Uhud.)

paragraph: Section::::Emigration to Medina.:Siege of Khaybar.

paragraph: Safiyya was among the women who went to Khaybar as battle-auxiliaries in 628. She witnessed the duel between her son Al-Zubayr and the Jewish warrior Yasir.

paragraph: In the distribution, Muhammad assigned Safiyya an income of 40 "wasqs" of grain and dates from Khaybar.

paragraph: Section::::The Caliphate.

paragraph: Several elegies for Muhammad are attributed to Safiyyah, the following among them.

paragraph: poem"O my eyes! shed tears flowing,"

paragraph: Gilbert de Greenlaw

paragraph: Gilbert de Greenlaw (1354–1421) was a medieval Bishop of Aberdeen and Bishop-elect of St. Andrews. He was a Licentiate in the Arts, and had been a canon of Bishopric of Moray by the late 1370s, before being provided by Avignon Pope Clement VII the church of Liston in the Bishopric of St. Andrews in 1379. By the later 1380s, he was in the diocese of Aberdeen. In 1389, he was elected to hold the bishopric of Aberdeen, a position to which he was consecrated in 1390. Gilbert subsequently went on to hold the position of Chancellor of Scotland for many years, albeit in an interrupted manner. Gilbert was subsequently postulated to the more prestigious bishopric of St. Andrews after the death of Walter de Danyelston, its previous Bishop-elect. However, Avignon Pope Benedict XIII quashed the postulation, and chose Henry Wardlaw in his stead. Gilbert, then, remained Bishop of Aberdeen, and died in 1421.

paragraph: Oliver Winfield Killam

paragraph: Oliver Winfield Killam, also known as O.W. Killam (April 27, 1874 – January 1, 1959), was a Texas oilman, a member of both houses of the Oklahoma State Legislature, a prominent civic figure, and a presidential elector in 1956 for the reelection of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Killam was one of eight children born to David T. Killam and the former Catherine Magruder. He was reared near Elsberry in Lincoln County, Missouri. At the insistence of their mother, all of his siblings graduated from college, Killam in 1898 from the University of Missouri Law School at Columbia.

paragraph: During his lifetime, Killam resided in three principal locations, Joplin in Jasper County, Grove in Delaware County, Oklahoma, and, finally, Laredo, the seat of Webb County, Texas.

paragraph: In 1902, Killam married the former Harriet "Hattie" Smith (September 9, 1876–January 19, 1949). Killam was a delegate to the 1896 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, which nominated William Jennings Bryan to challenge then Governor William McKinley. He served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1911 to 1914, his tenure having begun only four years after statehood. He was elected as a Democrat to the Oklahoma State Senate in 1914 and served from 1915 to 1918. At the time, Oklahoma was a heavily Democratic state in orientation.

paragraph: Section::::Moving to Texas.

paragraph: Originally a merchant in Oklahoma, Killam became an early success in the petroleum industry in south Texas, where he branched into numerous enterprises with his son, Radcliffe Killam (1910–2007), who was married to the former Sue Spivey, a native of Bonham, Texas.

paragraph: Killam anticipated the post-World War I financial panic of 1919 and sold his business and property and sacrificed a potentially promising political career. Prior to election to the legislature, Killam had been a staunch advocate of Oklahoma statehood. At the age of forty-five and with three children, he had achieved considerable financial success in Oklahoma. But he was determined to discover oil in a section of Texas where no strike had yet been made, the area from San Antonio south to the Rio Grande. He had no previous experience with petroleum, but as a quick learner and risk taker, he moved in 1919 to Laredo to prospect for petroleum and natural gas on mineral leases that he had acquired while in business in Oklahoma.

paragraph: The third oil well drilled by Killam brought about an oil boom in Mirando City in eastern Webb County nearly a decade before the better known East Texas Oil Boom centered about Kilgore and Longview. Killam also secured an oil lease on the Hinnant Ranch in neighboring Zapata County. His first two wells failed, but his third drill brought success on April 17, 1921. Drilled to , the well pumped about twenty barrels a day. It was the first commercial oil well south of San Antonio. That same year, Killam and Colon Schott of Cincinnati, Ohio, developed the Schott oilfield south of Mirando City. The largest and most successful gusher, Schott No. 2, produced of oil daily, plus several million cubic feet of natural gas. The South Texas Oil Boom, based at Mirando City, was hence underway through the persistence of the wildcatter Oliver Winfield Killam.

paragraph: After the development of the Schott field, many cattle ranchers in South Texas began to lease large tracts of land to explore for oil. Thereafter, Killam established the Texpapa Pipe Line Company to transport the oil to tank farms or railroad tank cars. In 1923, he established the Misko Refineries at Mirando City.

paragraph: Section::::The Killam legacy.

paragraph: During the 1930s, Killam was the president of both the Laredo and the South Texas Chamber of Commerce. On July 4, 1937, he was named "King Petrol" at the Oilmen's Jubilee in Laredo. In 1947, Killam purchased the 80,000-acre (320 km) Ortiz Ranch, which Radcliffe Killam continued to develop, having established the Mil Ojos Hunting Club on the property. Since that time, the Killam Ranch and Cattle Company has purchased the Duval County Ranch. That ranch was expanded to . The family owns other ranch lands in West Texas, Oregon, and Mexico.

paragraph: In an interview for "Pioneers in Texas Oil" on May 5, 1956, Killam explained his success:

paragraph: "When I came here [Webb and Zapata counties in 1920], all the geologists said there couldn't be any oil in this part of the country; the formations were too young, and it was just impossible for oil to accumulate. Well, they said that I was here about four million years too soon. Well, I didn't know anything about that so I went ahead anyway...the country where they said there couldn't be any oil, has produced more than a hundred million barrels.

paragraph: By the 1950s, Killam had turned Republican and was invited by Texas GOP leaders to serve as an Eisenhower/Nixon elector. He hence cast his vote with the Texas delegation in Austin in December 1956.

paragraph: In 1956, Killam was named "Outstanding Citizen of South Texas" by members of the Washington's Birthday Celebration Association of Laredo, which holds a lengthy festival each February in honor of George Washington.

paragraph: Killam died on New Years Day 1959, and is interred at Laredo City Cemetery beside his wife and daughter, Patricia Louise Killam Hurd (July 10, 1915–January 2, 1955). The Winfield Subdivision across from the J.B. Alexander High School off Del Mar Boulevard in Laredo is named in his honor. David W. Killam (born January 7, 1952), the grandson of O.W. Killam, operates the remaining Killam business and philanthropic enterprises.

paragraph: Giuliana Camerino

paragraph: Giuliana Camerino (née Coen; December 8, 1920 – May 10, 2010) was an Italian fashion designer who founded the Roberta di Camerino fashion house in Venice, the only major Italian fashion brand to be based in the historic seafaring and trading city. The label is principally known for its velvet handbags, though it has also produced womenswear and shoes. Giuliana Camerino has been credited with creating the concept of the status bag.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Giuliana Coen was born in 1920 to a Jewish family in Venice. Her grandfather had a pigment factory, where Giuliana learned to match colours, and which would later become the atelier for her fashion house. She married banker Guido Camerino, with whom she had two children, a son, Ugo, and a daughter, Roberta.

paragraph: In 1943, to escape the persecution of Jews in Italy during the Second World War, the Camerinos fled to Switzerland where Giuliana started designing handbags for a local leather goods store.

paragraph: Section::::Roberta di Camerino.

paragraph: The fashion house "Roberta di Camerino" was founded in 1945 when the Camerinos returned to Italy after the War ended. It was named after the film "Roberta", starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The song "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" from the film was the last song that Giulliana Camerino danced to before fleeing for Switzerland, and so she took the professional name Roberta as a memory of earlier, happy times.

paragraph: Roberta di Camerino's handbags were renowned for their innovativeness. They used richly patterned and coloured fabrics that had formerly been only used for clothing. In 1946, she made a bag patterned with a trellis of R's, foreshadowing Gucci's G's; in 1957 she made woven leather bags before Bottega Veneta did, and in 1964, she made a handbag with an articulated frame that was later reproduced by Prada. Her designs were widely copied. Although this upset her, Coco Chanel reassured her, telling her not to cry about being copied, but to 'cry the day they don't copy you'.

paragraph: Camerino won a Neiman Marcus Fashion Award in 1956 in recognition of the success and influence of her handbags. Her cut-velvet bags featured brass hardware made by Venetian craftsmen, and were carried by celebrities such as Grace Kelly, Farrah Fawcett, and Elizabeth Taylor. In addition to the handbags, which often featured trompe l'oeil buckles and flaps, Roberta di Camerino also sold coats, dresses, and other clothing. Some of her fabrics were woven on antique looms, which helped support local industry in post-war Italy. The first Roberta di Camerino fashion show, held in Venice in 1949, was remembered for its theatricality.

paragraph: In 1980 Camerino closed her fashion house in order to focus her energies into profitable licensing deals for ties, scarves, aprons, and wallpaper. That same year, the Whitney Museum of American Art held an exhibition of her work. Another exhibition of her work was held at the Fashion Institute of Technology museum in late 1999.

paragraph: In 1996 the Roberta di Camerino label was revived, offering re-issues of their handbags, which were sold through New York department stores, including Neiman Marcus, who, in the 1950s, had been the first American stockist of Camerino bags. In 2008, at Milan Fashion Week, Sixty Group acquired the Roberta di Camerino label. The creative director of the label is Giorgia Scarpa, formerly of Prada and Christian Dior, and the general manager, Alessandro Varisco, formerly of Gianfranco Ferre and Versace. In order to concentrate on the luxury handbag market, Sixty Group dissolved many existing Roberta di Camerino licenses, including eyewear, knitwear, and small leather goods.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Giuliana Camerino was taken ill suddenly on Istria, near Venice, and died in Venice during the night of May 10, 2010. She was 89. Giorgio Orsoni, the Mayor of Venice, paid tribute to her as a friend and entrepreneur and an active promoter of Venice and Italian-made goods.

paragraph: Parisina Malatesta

paragraph: Laura Malatesta (140421 May 1425), better known as Parisina Malatesta, was the daughter of Andrea Malatesta, lord of Cesena, and his second wife, Lucrezia Ordelaffi. She had an affair with her bastard stepson Ugo d'Este, and both were beheaded by her husband, Marquis Niccolò III d'Este of Ferrara.

paragraph: After Edward Gibbon's mention of this story, Byron wrote the poem "Parisina", which was followed by operas of the same name by Donizetti and Mascagni.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Parisina was few days old when her mother was poisoned by her father Cecco Ordelaffi and grew up in the court of her uncle Carlo Malatesta in Rimini.

paragraph: She married Niccolò III d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara, in Ravenna in 1418, whose first wife Gigliola da Carrara died a few years before and was welcomed by a Ferrara ravaged by plague. She resided in the tower of the Rigobello's in rooms under the library and reorganized her new home. Parisina's dwelling was also the Delizia di Consandolo, built by Nicholò.

paragraph: During a trip in 1424 in which she intended to visit her family, Parisina was accompanied according to her husband's wishes by Ugo d'Este, son of Nicholò and one of his lovers Stella de 'Tolomei. The two young people had an opportunity to get to know each other in Ravenna and became lovers. The relationship went on secretly also when they were back in Ferrara: the two lovers met in the delizie di Belfiore, Fossadalbero e Quartesana.

paragraph: Other sources report that to escape the plague of 1423 she took refuge in the castello di Fossadalbero accompanied by her stepson, and there the relationship started.

paragraph: Putting them under the surveillance of one of her maids, Nicholas followed the lovers and discovered the affair. Then he locked them up in the castle's prison where both of them were beheaded.

paragraph: Section::::In culture.

paragraph: Her tragic story has inspired writers and musicians. The Renaissance Italian author Matteo Bandello wrote the novel "Ugo and Parisina".

paragraph: Edward Gibbon told this story in his "Miscellaneous Works", and George Byron wrote the poem "Parisina" in 1816. A libretto by Felice Romani after the English poem was set to music by Gaetano Donizetti in 1833 as "Parisina". Pietro Mascagni composed a tragic opera "Parisina" based on the lyric tragedy written by Gabriele D'Annunzio in 1912 as another adaptation of Byron's poem.

paragraph: There is also a lesser-known opera by Tomás Giribaldi (1878) and a tragedy by Antonio Somma.

paragraph: Section::::Descendants.

paragraph: Parisina had twin daughters and a son:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lucia d'Este (1419–1437), married Carlo Gonzaga and died young [14];

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ginevra d'Este (1419–1440), married Sigismund Malatesta and perhaps was killed by him [15].

paragraph: BULLET::::- Alberto (1421) died after a few months.

paragraph: Chiba Shusaku Narimasa

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Chiba Shūsaku was the son of the swordsman Chūzaemon, who was originally from Miyagi Prefecture. He was born as the second son of his family in Kesen-Mura. His father Chūzaemon studied Kenjutsu under Chiba Kōemon Narikatsu (founder of the Hokushin Musō-ryū). There has been some confusion about Chiba Shūsaku’s ancestry and birthplace because after Chūzaemon had moved his family to Mito, which was in Chiba prefecture and demonstrated his swordsmanship skill, Chūzaemon was adopted by Chiba Kōemon Narikatsu and given the new name Chiba Chūzaemon Naritane (about 1800). Shūsaku originally studied his father’s martial art, the Hokushin Musō-ryū, first from his father and then directly from his grandfather Chiba Kōemon Narikatsu. At this time he was named Chiba Shūsaku Taira no Narimasa.

paragraph: In 1809 Chiba Chūzaemon moved his family again, this time to Matsudo, near Edo. This was where Shūsaku studied the Ittō-ryū with Asari Yoshinobu Matashichiro and Nakanishi Chubei Tanemasa. Shūsaku married Asari Yoshinobu Matashichiro’s daughter, changed his name to Asari Shusaku Narimasa, and took charge of the Asari dojo. After a falling-out with his father-in-law, Shūsaku dropped the Asari name and changed it back to Chiba and began his Musha-shugyō, visiting many Dōjō and dueled many famous swordsmen of ryūha like the Shinto Munen-ryū, Jikishinkage-ryū Maniwa Nen-ryū, different Ittō-ryū lines and many other. It is also said, that he never lost a duel in his life.

paragraph: Section::::Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō.

paragraph: After studying several other forms, Shūsaku created his own form in the 1820s, and called his school Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō (北辰一刀流兵法). The name is a combination from Hokushin Musō-ryū and the Ittō-ryū lines he studied.

paragraph: In some ways the Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō is a simplification of the Ittō-ryū forms, but one that concentrates on the essentials. Certainly Shūsaku’s teaching methods were easier to understand, than that of other ryūha. In the Bakumatsu-period there was a saying, "If someone needs 6 years of training to master a ryuha, he will only need half the time in the Hokushin Ittō-ryū". The curriculum of the school contains mainly Kenjutsu, Battojutsu, Naginatajutsu and Jūjutsu.

paragraph: Chiba Shūsaku founded the Edo-Genbukan, which became together with the Chiba-Dōjō of his brother Chiba Sadakichi Masamichi one of the most famous and largest Dōjō all over Japan. The teaching-line of the Edo-Genbukan disappeared soon after the Dōjō was closed at the end of the Meiji period. The Chiba-Dōjō was also closed at the beginning of the Taisho period, but this line, unlike that of the Edo-Genbukan, survived until today. However, as the 5th Generation Sōke, Chiba Hiroshi did not learn and actively practice his family art, he appointed the Menkyo-Kaiden Ōtsuka Yōichirō Masanori as the 6th Sōke of this line. He was then succeeded by his adopted adult foster son Ōtsuka Ryūnosuke (formerly known as Markus Lösch) in March 2016 who then became the 7th Sōke.

paragraph: He was drafted in the 1996 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks with the 21st overall pick. He would later play for the Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets.

paragraph: In 2007, Kendall became embroiled in a contract dispute with the Jets' front office. Kendall believed the team had reneged on a verbal agreement to raise his base salary for 2007 after he had agreed to restructure his contract the year before. Kendall made his grievances public despite head coach Eric Mangini's instructions not to do so. As a result, Mangini sent Kendall to the rookie dorms and demoted him to second string, further aggravating the situation. On August 23, 2007 Kendall was traded to the Washington Redskins for a conditional draft pick (either a fifth round pick in 2008 or a fourth round pick in 2009, based on playing time). He became a free agent after the 2008 season.

paragraph: Michael de Poynings, 1st Baron Poynings

paragraph: Michael de Poynings, 1st Baron Poynings, Knt. (c.1318 – 7 March 1369), of Bures St. Mary, Suffolk, was an English nobleman and soldier. He was present at the Battle of Crécy.

paragraph: Michael de Poynings was summoned to Parliament by writs direct to "Michaeli de Ponynges from 20 November 1348 to 24 February 1368". On account of the valiant conduct of his father, Thomas, who died in 1339 in battle at the storming of Hunycourt in Vermandois, France, the King received Michael's homage, though the latter was under age, and granted him livery of his lands and full benefit of his marriage, taking security for the payment of the relief.

paragraph: Rayment stated that Thomas de Poynings was summoned to Parliament 23 April 1337, which would indicate that he was the first baron, but Cokayne held a contrary position, which is that Thomas was summoned to 'a council of prelates and magnates'. The leadership of Thomas at the storming of Hunycourt and the Michael's direct feudal obligations to the king are evidences of a prior feudal barony. So some historians number the first barony from Thomas, while most consider Michael to be the first baron.

paragraph: Michael de Poynings gave a thousand marks to Queen Philippa of Hainault in 1366 for the wardship and marriage of William Bardolf, 4th Baron Bardolf, son and heir of John Bardolf, 3rd Baron Bardolf and his wife Elizabeth Damory. William married Michael's daughter Agnes, who by the name of "Agnes Bardolf" is mentioned as a legatee in the will of her mother, Joane Lady Poynings, dated 12 May 1369, and by that of "Lady Bardolf my sister" in the will of Thomas Lord Poynings, dated 28 October 1374.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: Poynings married, before 1348, Joan Ruxley (d. 11 May 1369), widow of John de Moleyns, son and heir apparent of John, Baron Moleyns, and daughter of Sir Richard Rokesley. They were buried together in the parish church at Poynings, Sussex. He was succeeded by his son Thomas de Poynings, 2nd Baron Poynings (d. before 25 June 1375), who married before 5 June 1372 as her third husband, Blanche Mowbray (d. 21 July 1409) daughter of John de Mowbray, 3rd Baron Mowbray and his second wife Joan of Lancaster.

paragraph: Joseph Oller

paragraph: Joseph Oller (Josep Oller i Roca in Catalan) (1839–1922) was a Catalan (Spain) entrepreneur who lived in Paris for most of his life. He co-founded the famous cabaret Moulin Rouge with Charles Zidler and was the inventor of the parimutuel betting.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Terrassa, Joseph Oller emigrated to France with his family as a child. Later, he moved back to Spain to study at the university in Bilbao. There, he became fond of cockfighting and started his career as a bookmaker.

paragraph: Once in Paris, in 1867, Joseph Oller invented a new method of wagering, which he named Pari Mutuel (French for Parimutuel betting). He successfully introduced his pool method system at French race tracks. Nonetheless, in 1874, Joseph Oller was sentenced to fifteen days in prison and fined for operating illegal gambling. Later, in 1891, the French authorities legalised his system and banned fixed-odds betting. Quickly, Oller's Pari Mutuel spread across most race tracks around the world, but the method was operationalised in engineered systems like that of the automatic totalisator, invented by George Alfred Julius.

paragraph: In 1870, he moved to London for a while to avoid the Franco-Prussian War. There he came into contact with the world of the stage.

paragraph: From 1876, Joseph Oller focused his attention on the entertainment industry.

paragraph: First he opened various auditoriums and venues: Fantaisies Oller, La Bombonnière, Théâtre des Nouveautés, Nouveau Cirque and the Montagnes Russes.

paragraph: But it was in 1889, when he inaugurated the famous Moulin Rouge. In 1892, he opened the first Parisian music-hall: Paris Olympia offering new forms of entertainment.

paragraph: He was buried at Père Lachaise Cemetery.

paragraph: George William, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld

paragraph: George William (6 August 1591 – 25 December 1669), titular Count Palatine of the Rhine, Duke in Bavaria, Count of Veldenz and Sponheim was the Duke of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld from 1600 until 1669.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: George William was born in Ansbach in 1591 as the eldest son of Charles I, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld. He succeeded his father in 1600 as Count of Sponheim. He was joint ruler in the Sponheimish condominium together with Margrave Wilhelm of Baden, whose counter-reformationist movements he laboriously repelled. George William finished the expansion of Castle Birkenfeld, which his father had begun, and set the ground stone for the castle chapel. He is seen as an economical and prudent regent, though he could not do much through the Thirty Years' War. His lands were invaded during the Thirty Years' War in 1635, and in the same year the plague broke out killing 416 people. In the year 1666 he appointed Günter Heyler as court preacher to Birkenfeld. George William died in Birkenfeld in 1669. He was buried in the parish church of Birkenfeld; later his tomb was moved to the chapel of Birkenfeld castle and finally to Meisenheim.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages and Issue.

paragraph: Abu Sufyan ibn Harb

paragraph: Sakhr ibn Harb ibn Umayya ibn Abd Shams (; — ), better known as Abu Sufyan (, was a leader and merchant from the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. In his early career, he often led trade caravans to Syria. He had been among the main leaders of Meccan opposition to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam and member of the Quraysh, commanding the Meccans at the battles of Uhud and the Trench in 625 and 627. However, when Muhammad entered Mecca in 630, Abu Sufyan was among the first to submit and was given a stake in the nascent Muslim state, playing a role at the Battle of Hunayn and the subsequent destruction of the polytheistic sanctuary of al-Lat in Ta'if. After Muhammad's death, he may have been appointed the governor of Najran by Caliph Abu Bakr () for an unspecified period. Abu Sufyan later played a supporting role in the Muslim army at the Battle of Yarmouk against the Byzantines in Syria. His sons Yazid and later Mu'awiya were given command roles in that province and the latter went on to establish the Umayyad Caliphate in 661.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early career, opposition and embrace of Muhammad.

paragraph: Abu Sufyan's given name was Sakhr and he was born in circa 565 to father Harb ibn Umayya, a leader of the Quraysh tribe of Mecca. The family belonged to the Banu Abd Shams clan of the Quraysh, the brother clan of the Banu Hashim, to which the Islamic prophet Muhammad belonged. Abu Sufyan was among the leaders of the Qurayshi opposition to Muhammad in the years preceding the Hegira (emigration of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina in 622). A prominent financier and merchant, Abu Sufyan engaged in trade in Syria, often heading Meccan caravans to the region. He owned land in the vicinity of Damascus.

paragraph: In 624, a caravan Abu Sufyan was leading back to Mecca from Syria faced an assault by Muhammad, prompting him to send for aid. In response, a 1,000-strong Meccan army led by Abu Jahl was dispatched. In the ensuing confrontation, Abu Sufyan, "by skillful and vigorous leadership eluded the Muslims", according to the historian W. Montgomery Watt. However, under Abu Jahl's command, the Meccans pursued a direct confrontation with the Muslims, which resulted in the rout of the Quraysh at the Battle of Badr. Abu Jahl and the father of Abu Sufyan's wife, Hind bint Utba, were slain. Abu Sufyan's son Hanzala was also killed and another son, Amr, was taken captive, but released. In the aftermath, Abu Sufyan was charged with avenging Meccan losses, the command he held likely being hereditary. He inflicted significant losses on the Muslims at the Battle of Uhud in 625, but the Quraysh were generally unsatisfied with the battle's results. Two years later, he led the attempted siege of Medina, but was defeated by the Muslim defenders at the Battle of the Trench. His morale may have taken a blow from this failure, as Meccan command in the war with Muhammad passed to his Qurayshi rivals, Safwan ibn Umayya, Ikrima ibn Abi Jahl and Suhayl ibn Amr.

paragraph: Though he did not participate in the truce negotiations at Hudaybiyya in 628, he held peace talks with Muhammad in Medina when the Quraysh broke the truce. Information about the results of these talks is unclear, but Watt surmises that Abu Sufyan and Muhammad entered into an understanding of sorts. When Muhammad conquered Mecca in 630, Abu Sufyan played a key role in the city's surrender, being among the first Qurayshi leaders to submit and guaranteeing protection for his partisans. He fought alongside the Muslims at the Battle of Hunayn against the Banu Thaqif of Ta'if, traditional rivals of Mecca, and the latter's tribal backers from the Hawazin confederation. During this battle, which ended in a decisive Muslim victory, he lost an eye, and was rewarded a relatively high percentage of the spoils for his valor. Because of his past trade relations with Ta'if, where he also owned property and had kinsmen, Abu Sufyan played a leading role in the dismantlement of the pagan sanctuary of al-Lat in the city.

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

paragraph: Abu Sufyan was appointed the governor of Najran, near Yemen, either by Muhammad or more likely, by the first caliph, Abu Bakr (). He initially opposed the latter's succession of Muhammad as leader of the nascent Muslim state. Abu Sufyan, seeing no hope that a member of the Banu Abd Shams could attain the role, aimed to keep the leadership in the hands of his next closest kinsmen, the Banu Hashim, specifically Ali ibn Abi Talib, a cousin, son-in-law and early supporter of Muhammad. According to the historian Wilferd Madelung, Abu Sufyan, by dint of his chieftainship of the Banu Abd Shams and the generosity he had received from Muhammad, was duty-bound by a tribal code of honor to offer Ali such support, as doing otherwise "would have been shameful". Ali, however, refused his support, citing Abu Sufyan's late conversion to Islam and the potential backlash from the Muslim community should he accept his backing. Western historians generally dismiss this episode as propaganda by the Muslim traditional sources, which were traditionally hostile to the Umayyads, the branch of the Banu Abd Shams to which Abu Sufyan belonged and which ultimately became the ruling family of the Caliphate in 661 until 750.

paragraph: Abu Bakr ordered the Muslim conquest of the Levant, in which he gave the Banu Abd Shams a stake, despite their early opposition to him, which he sought to allay. Abu Sufyan's son Yazid was ultimately appointed to a leading command role in the conquest. Abu Sufyan was present at the Battle of Yarmouk, which resulted in a decisive Muslim victory against the Byzantines in Syria. His advanced age at the time renders it unlikely that he actively participated in the battle. According to an account cited by Sayf ibn Umar, he observed the battle alongside unspecified Arab sheikhs (chieftains), and accounts cited by al-Tabari further note that he "exhorted" the Muslim troops. His son Yazid held a command role in the battle and later died in a plague in Palestine in 639. Another of his sons, Mu'awiya, was appointed the governor of Syria by Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (). Umar's successor, Uthman ibn Affan (), shared descent with Abu Sufyan from Umayya ibn Abd Shams and was known to show special favor to his kinsmen. To that end, he symbolically honored Abu Sufyan, along with al-Hakam ibn Abi al-As and al-Walid ibn Uqba of the Umayyad line of the Banu Abd Shams, and al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib of the Banu Hashim, by allowing them to sit on his throne in Medina. Abu Sufyan died in 653 at the age of 88.

paragraph: Thomas Falconer (1738–1792) was an English classical scholar.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was the son of William Falconer, recorder of Chester, by Elizabeth, daughter of Randle Wilbraham de Townsend. He spent some time at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he matriculated 12 March 1754; but left without taking a degree, and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn on 20 June 1760. With chronic ill-health, he lived a life of studious retirement at Chester.

paragraph: He took an interest in antiquities, and was a patron of literature; he was called by Anna Seward the Mæcenas of Chester. It was to him that in 1771 Foote Gower addressed his open letter "A Sketch of the Materials for a New History of Cheshire". He was a friend of John Reinhold Forster, who dedicated to him his translation of Baron Riedesel's "Travels through Sicily, and that part of Italy formerly called Magna Græcia", London, 1773. He died on 4 September 1792, and was buried in St. Michael's Church, Chester. A monument with a laudatory inscription in St. John's Church, Chester, perpetuates his memory. He never married.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Falconer published ‘Devotions for the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, by a Layman,’ London, 1786; 2nd ed. 1798. He read in 1791 before the Society of Antiquaries a paper in vindication of the accuracy of Pliny's description of the temple of Diana at Ephesus. A work by him entitled ‘Chronological Tables, beginning with the Reign of Solomon and ending with the Death of Alexander the Great,’ appeared at Oxford in 1796, edited by Frodsham Hodson. He also left materials for an edition of Strabo, which formed the basis of the edition brought out in 1807 by his nephew Thomas Falconer, M.D.

paragraph: Benjamin Gerritsz Cuyp

paragraph: Benjamin Gerritszoon Cuyp (December 1612 – 28 August 1652) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Cuyp was born and died in Dordrecht. According to Houbraken he was a pupil of his uncle, Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp, who taught him together with his son (Benjamin's cousin) Aelbert Cuyp. Houbraken felt Aelbert had neater brush strokes and Benjamin showed the rough approach of his teacher.

paragraph: According to the RKD, Houbraken was mistaken about the family, and Benjamin and Jacob were both born in Dordrecht as the sons of a glasspainter from Venlo named Gerrit Gerritsz Cuyp. Benjamin learned to paint from his older half-brother, Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp. He was therefore the uncle, not the cousin, of the much more famous Aelbert Cuyp. He is known for allegorical pieces, genre works, beach scenes, military scenes, and landscapes. He influenced Barent van Kalraet, and was followed by Maerten Fransz van der Hulst.
