In an interview with "GQ" several days later, Post said "there's a struggle being a white rapper."

paragraph: In a November 2017 interview with Polish media outlet "NewOnce", Post said that modern hip-hop music lacks "people talking about real shit" and added that "if you're looking to think about life, don't listen to hip-hop." He received social media backlash for his comments, including from fellow rappers such as Lil B and Vince Staples.

paragraph: Anthony of Novgorod

paragraph: Anthony Of Novgorod (fl. 13th century) was a Russian archbishop.

paragraph: Born Dobryna Jadrejkovich to a wealthy family, around 1190 he joined the monastery of Khutyn. In 1200, he undertook a pilgrimage to Constantinople and wrote an account of his journey in his "Pilgrim's Book", which is of interest to historians for its description of the city and its religious monuments. After the archbishop of Novgorod was banished, Anthony temporarily ascended to the role, but returned the see when his predecessor was permitted to return. Anthony again became the archbishop in 1225, then remained in the position until retiring in 1228 for health reasons. He died c. 1231–1232 after a disease had rendered him mute.

paragraph: Lucius Porcius Cato was a Roman general and politician who became consul in 89 BC alongside Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo. He died at the Battle of Fucine Lake, possibly at the hands of Gaius Marius the Younger.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The son of Marcus Porcius Cato Salonianus, Cato was elected Praetor in 92 BC. In 90 BC, he was given a propraetoral command during the Social War, and defeated an Etruscan army which had joined the revolt. He was elected consul in 89 BC, and was given command of the northern theatre of the war against the Marsi tribe. Although his troops were undisciplined and mutinied at one point, he managed to inflict a defeat on them early on. However, at the Battle of Fucine Lake in the winter of 89 BC, he was winning an engagement with the Marsi when he was killed near the end of the battle, leading to a Marsic victory. Although it is usually assumed that he was killed by Marsic soldiers, at least one source states that he was killed by Gaius Marius the Younger, the son of the famous Roman general and politician, Gaius Marius, who was furious that Cato had boasted that his own achievements were on par with the elder Marius’s victory over the Cimbri.

paragraph: Isgrò was born in Sicily but he moved to Milan when he was 19. He made his literary debut in 1956 with the poetry collection "Fiere del Sud" (Arturo Schwarz Editore). In 1964 he first began erasing encyclopaedias and other texts, making his personal contribution to the birth and development of visual poetry and conceptual art. In 1966, during a one-man show at the Galleria Traghetto in Venice, he published "Dichiarazione 1", defining his conception of poetry as ‘general art of the sign’. He published the volume of poems "L'età della ginnastica" (Mondadori).

He was one of a group of artists featured in the exhibition "Contemporanea" (1973), curated by Achille Bonito Oliva in the underground car park of the Villa Borghese in Rome. The following year Isgrò published "L'avventurosa: Vita di Emilio Isgrò nelle testimonianze di uomini di stato, scrittori, artisti, parlamentari, attori, parenti, familiari, amici, anonimi cittadini" (Il Formichiere), which was nominated for the Strega Prize. In 1976 the first retrospective of his work was held at the Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione (CSAC) in Parma. In 1977 he was awarded the first prize at the XIVth Bienal de São Paulo in Brazil. That same year he also published the novel "Marta de Rogatiis Johnson" (Feltrinelli).

From the following year and for three consecutive seasons, his Sicilian trilogy "Orestea di Gibellina" was also performed in Gibellina at the Festival Internazionale delle Orestiadi. In 1985 the Teatro alla Scala commissioned him to create the multimedia installation "La veglia" di Bach in the San Carpoforo Church in Milan. In 1986 he presented the installation "L'ora italiana" at the Civic Archaeological Museum in Bologna, commemorating the victims of the terrorist bomb attack at the city’s railway station on 2 August 1980. In 1989 he published the novel "Polifemo" (Mondadori), at the same time working out a new theory of erasure in "Teoria della cancellatura" (Galleria Fonte d'Abisso).

paragraph: Isgrò’s work was featured in the exhibition "The Artist and the Book in Twentieth-Century Italy" held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1992 and in 1994 at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. In 1994 he also published the novel" L'asta delle ceneri" (Camunia) and returned to poetry with the collection "Oratorio dei ladri" (Mondadori). In 1998 he donated his sculpture "Orange Seed" to his Sicilian birthplace, the town of Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto.

paragraph: In 2001 he held a major retrospective of his work, "Emilio Isgrò 1964-2000", at the unfinished church of Santa Maria dello Spasimo in Palermo. With "Le api della Torah" he also began a cycle of work featuring insects. In 2002 he published another book of poetry, "Brindisi all'amico infame" (Aragno), which was shortlisted for the Strega Prize and won the San Pellegrino Prize for poetry awarded by the Italian town of San Pellegrino Terme. In 2007 he collected essays and writings previously published in various newspapers and magazines in a critical and theoretical companion to his creative output entitled "La cancellatura e altre soluzioni" (Skira).

paragraph: Usermontu (mummy)

paragraph: "Usermontu" is an ancient Egyptian mummy exhibited at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum of San Jose, California.

paragraph: The name "Usermontu" – which means, "Powerful is Montu" – almost certainly does not match the still-unknown name originally belonged to the mummified man. The mistake arose because long after death the mummy was placed in a coffin originally belonged to another man, a priest named Usermontu, and was still inside of it at the time of rediscovery.br

paragraph: The mummy is very well preserved, and is also known for having an ancient but sophisticated prosthetic pin in its left knee.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: In 1971 the Rosicrucian Museum acquired two sealed ancient Egyptian coffins from Neiman-Marcus. Unbeknownst to all, one of the coffin still contained the mummy which was discovered soon after the purchase. On the basis of the embalming type originally provided to “Usermontu”, it is believed that he was an upper-class Egyptian male who likely lived – and ultimately died – during the New Kingdom of Egypt (between 16th–11th century BCE). For a reason that remains unknown to us, several centuries after death his corpse was put inside the coffin of the “real” Usermontu who lived during the 26th Dynasty. Some time around 400 BCE, as suggested by radiocarbon dating, the body underwent another wrapping with linen bandages which are still visible today.br

paragraph: There is no clue of where the coffin and the mummy originally came from. In life the man should have been a natural redhead and his mummy is about tall.

paragraph: Section::::History.:Prosthetic pin.

paragraph: In August 1995 BYU professor C. Wilfred Griggs performed some X-ray scans on the Rosicrucian mummies and discovered the presence of a iron-made orthopedic screw inside “Usermontu”'s left knee. Griggs initially believed that the pin was inserted in modern times in order to reattach the leg to the rest of the body, so he later obtained permission to unwrap the leg and directly examine the pin in order to solve the mystery. After the examination Griggs realized that the pin could not be inserted in modern times, and must have been placed after the man's death but before his burial, a hypothesis confirmed by further analysis. The pin was held in place by an organic resin, analogous to modern bone cement. By doing so, those who performed the operation ensured the integrity of the body, required for the ancient Egyptian afterlife.. Many doubts have later on been expressed in literature regarding the validity of this interpretation: Bones are missing in the mummy, the leg would not have been mobile, and the pin was probably attached later to the already dead body, which had an amputated leg, to complete it for afterlife travel.

paragraph: Hanan Costeff

paragraph: Hanan Costeff (1926–2005) was a pediatric neurologist, researcher, and teacher.

paragraph: Costeff was born in Sep. 14, 1926 to Dr. Harry and Stella Costeff in Peoria, Illinois. His father, Harry Gedalya came to the USA from a Jewish village named Kabaschei in the Ukraine, served in the first World War and later studied to be a pharmacist, and then a medical doctor. He pioneered the use of insulin shock therapy for Schizophrenia, and founded a private hospital in Peoria. Hanan grew up in Peoria, served in the navy during the latter part of WW2, and trained as a radio technician. Upon being released, he used the GI bill to study medicine at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, graduating in 1951. He met and married Ramona Doctor in Chicago in 1951. In 1950, while still a student he visited the newly founded State of Israel, traveled, met some family and managed a children's ward at the then new immigrant camp of Rosh Ha'Ayin. Upon completion of his residency, and the birth of his first son, Philip Avner, the young family immigrated to Israel and joined his parents who had preceded them and were living in Haifa.

paragraph: Costeff acted as a pediatrician in clinics in Kiryat Shmona, and then Beer Sheva, where he traveled to Kibbutzim and Moshavim treating children in the Tipat Chalav (well baby clinics) outreach program. In one instance he was able to diagnose the earliest case till then of Phenylketonuria, and was noticed by the head of the clinic. In 1963 the family, that now included Judy and Gady who were born in 1958 and 1961 respectively, traveled for a two-year post-doctorate at the Child Study Center at Yale University, where Hanan trained as a pediatric neurologist.

paragraph: The family returned to Israel, with Hanan chosen to head up the Child Development Unit at the Tel Hashomer hospital, where he worked until 1973. He was then asked to set up the Child Development Center at the Leowienstein Rehabilitation Medical center, where he worked till his retirement in 1998. Following his retirement he re-invented himself and became an recognized medical expert for the courts, as well as working in the Macabbi HMO in his specialty.

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: Costeff published approximately 40 original research papers over his career. He was as much a researcher as a medical practitioner. His interest ranged over a wide scope, and he was self trained in a variety of disciplines and techniques making him somewhat of a renaissance figure. These included a working knowledge of statistics, genetics, neurology to name a few. His first paper was authored during his post-doctorate, and was a algebraic formulas to find a practical method of calculating the surface area of a body, useful for calculating some dosages. He taught at the Tel Aviv University School of Medicine, as well as throughout his career, and he established a generation of pediatric neurologists in Israel who looked up to him as their mentor. A syndrome first described by him carries his name: the Costeff Syndrome.

paragraph: His papers pioneered new ways of looking at diagnosis and treatment of mental retardation, with an emphasis on challenging entrenched theories. He was essentially a man of truth and he often found himself in the minority. He gave testimony about medical neglect in the Beit Tina trial, leading to a judgement against a decorated Army doctor, something that at the time was unheard of. He worked with the Knesset committee to enact a law in Israel that would ensure hospitals that lost medical files would become liable for the damages. He developed tests to verify the need and efficacy of the widespread use of Ritalin, and was concerned about the misuse of the drug in schools and by teachers.

paragraph: Section::::Private life.

paragraph: When his daughter, Judith became a religious orthodox Jew, he joined the Reform Jewish Movement, and with his wife, Ramona, became one of the pillars of the Ramat HaSharon congregation, eventually being chosen as a member of the national board.

paragraph: He died in 2005, in his Ramat HaSharon home, after a 15 year long fight with several forms of cancer and Parkinson's disease. Throughout this period there was no abatement of his intellect or memory.

paragraph: Vitslav II, Prince of Rügen

paragraph: Vitslav II (c. 1240 – 1302), variously called Vislav, Vizlav, Wislaw, Wizlaw and Witslaw in English sources () was a prince of Rügen.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Vitslav was probably born between 1240 and 1245 as the son of Prince Jaromar II of Rügen and Euphemia, a daughter of Duke Swantopolk II of East Pomerania. After his father, who had taken part on the side of the church in battles in Denmark between the Danish royal house and the Archbishopric of Lund. When his father was stabbed to death by a woman in 1260 out of revenge, Vitslav became the reigning Prince of Rügen.

paragraph: From the beginning of his reign Vitslav II maintained good relations with the Hanseatic town of Lübeck, whose merchants he exempted from customs duties within his principality and with whom, in 1266, he renewed the existing trade agreements. In 1269, he supported the town of Stralsund, located within his territory, by withdrawing rights from the Schadegard, built in the immediate vicinity of Stralsund, and gave up the town founded in order to compete with Stralsund.

paragraph: Probably over claims to the dowry of his mother, a daughter of Prince Swietopelk of East Pomerania, he succeeded in 1270 in gaining possession of the enfeoffment of Schlawe. Possibly in the same year, but no later than 1271, he founded Rügenwalde, but sold his enfeoffments in 1277, after he had been driven out of the area in 1275 by Mestwin II. The territory of Schlawe ("Schlawer Land") with its town and Rügenwalde went to Margrave John II, Otto IV and Conrad of Brandenburg.

paragraph: On 13 June 1283, the Treaty of Rostock alliance ("Rostocker Landfriedensbündnis") was agreed between the cities and towns of Lübeck, Wismar Rostock, Stralsund, Greifswald, Stettin, Demmin and Anklam with Duke John I of Saxe-Lauenburg, the Mecklenburg prince, Bogislaw IV of Pomerania and Vitslav II of Rügen. This alliance was clearly directed against Brandenburg.

paragraph: In 1283, Vitslav II was given his territory as German fiefdom by the German king, Rudolf I of Habsburg, although the document probably referred only to the mainland element. The Rügen-Danish fief relationship continued, as the regular participation of Vitslav II at the Danish court and his nomination as a witness in Danish royal charters indicates. Among other things, he was present at the investigation of the murder of the King of Denmark Erik Klipping.

paragraph: In 1285, he granted town rights to Tribsees. In 1290 the town of Stralsund was given the right of herring fishing on the Wittow and commercial monopoly on the island of Rügen, which severely hampered, the development of trade and commerce, including the grain trade, in the next few centuries. In 1288 Greifswald was given the Greifswald Saltworks and, in 1297, the right to build a port in Wieck by the mouth of the Ryck. He extended the possessions of the monasteries located in the principality: Eldena and Neuenkamp Abbeys.

paragraph: Section::::Descendants.

paragraph: Vitslav II married between 1263 and 1269 Agnes of Brunswick-Lüneburg, the daughter of Duke Otto I, "the Child" of Brunswick and Matilda of Brandenburg.

paragraph: The names of four sons and four daughters are known from the Vitslav's testament dated 27 December 1302:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Vitslav III of Rügen, co-regent from 1286

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Jaromar (born around 1267 – died 1294), rector at Stralsund St. Nicholas', later Bishop of Cammin from 1288 to 1294

paragraph: Aftimios Ofiesh

paragraph: Abdullah Aftimios Ofiesh (22 October 1880, Bikfayya Al-Muhaydathah, Lebanon - 24 July 1966, Kingston, Pennsylvania) was an early 20th-century Orthodox bishop in America, serving as the immediate successor to St. Raphael of Brooklyn under the auspices of the Church of Russia. He held the title Bishop of Brooklyn from 1917 to April 1933, when he married, thus deposing himself from the episcopacy. He led the American Orthodox Catholic Church for six years and is perhaps best known as being the source of various lines of succession of "episcopi vagantes".

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Following the untimely death of St. Raphael of Brooklyn in 1915, Archimandrite Aftimios (Ofiesh) was elected to serve as his replacement in caring for the Arab Orthodox faithful in America under the Church of Russia's canonical authority. He was consecrated by Archbishop Evdokim (Meschersky) as an auxiliary bishop in 1917 with the title of "Bishop of Brooklyn". In 1923, in recognition for his work in America, he was elevated by Metropolitan Platon (Rozhdestvensky) of New York to the rank of archbishop.

paragraph: In 1924, in the canonical chaos of American Orthodoxy following the onset of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the Arab Orthodox faithful split into two factions, one which wished to go under the canonical authority of the Church of Antioch and another which wished to stay faithful to the Church of Russia. The former group was organized by Bishop Victor (Abu Assaly) of New York, thus beginning the official presence of the Church of Antioch on American soil.

paragraph: In 1927, Aftimios was commissioned by the Russian diocese in America to form an English-speaking "American Orthodox Catholic Church," which, despite Aftimios' leadership and vision, only lasted for six years. During this time, however, Aftimios consecrated three bishops for his new jurisdiction, Sophronios (Beshara) of Los Angeles, Joseph (Zuk) for the Ukrainians, and Ignatius (William Albert) Nichols in September 1932 as his auxiliary bishop of Washington.

paragraph: Additionally, in 1931 the Society of Clerks Secular of St. Basil, a Western Rite group, was established under the auspices of this diocese and subsequently led by Nichols.

paragraph: In 1932, Archbishop Aftimios was invited to come to St. Mary's Syrian Orthodox Church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to arbitrate a dispute regarding the transfer of its priest, Fr. Constantine Abou-Adal. When Fr. Constantine left St. Mary's in November 1932, the parish was without a pastor, and so Archbishop Aftimios served in that capacity until February 1933, organizing a choir and Sunday School at the parish. During this time, he met and became involved with one of St. Mary's parishioners, Mariam Namey, then subsequently married her in a civil ceremony in April 1933.

paragraph: Reports vary at this point as to what happened regarding Aftimios' episcopacy. According to the parish records of St. Mary's, he "was retired" and lived in nearby Kingston until his death in 1966. With the withdrawal of support for the American Orthodox Catholic Church, it lost its canonical status. According to the book "Orthodox Christians in North America (1794–1994)", however, Aftimios "resigned his episcopacy and married."

paragraph: One of the groups which now traces itself to Aftimios characterizes the situation differently: "We are not under and do not have a patriarch as head of this Church since the ethnic patriarchal orthodox bodies all turned their backs on this Church and use the marriage of Abp. Aftimios as the reason, although most had already refused to recognize this Church and its authority in the New World."

paragraph: The biography by Ofiesh's widow Mariam claims that Aftimios fully intended to function as a married bishop, having that intent even before he met Mariam.

paragraph: Whatever the case, relations between the small jurisdiction created by Aftimios and the mainstream Orthodox Church were not regularized following his marriage and "de facto" deposition from the episcopacy. Since that time, numerous and still multiplying lines of succession of "episcopi vagantes" continue to persist which all trace their roots to Aftimios (mainly through Ignatius Nichols), many of whom regard him as a saint. Some of those bishops are married men, as well, which is a continual stumbling block to their unity with the mainstream Church, which has for centuries maintained a celibate episcopacy.

paragraph: Following his death in 1966 at age 85, Aftimios was buried in Maple Hill Cemetery across from St. Mary's Orthodox Cemetery in Wilkes-Barre. His widow Mariam subsequently wrote his biography, published in 1999.

paragraph: Section::::Book.

paragraph: The book by Aftimios's widow, while including a great deal of historical information, is not mainly a scholarly work but is rather a biography aimed toward the exoneration of her late husband. One of its primary themes throughout is that Aftimios's marriage to Mariam was justified and that the canonical tradition of celibacy for Orthodox bishops is "man-made" and should be abolished.

paragraph: Marie of Lusignan, Queen of Aragon

paragraph: Marie of Lusignan (1273 – Tortosa, April 1319) was a daughter of Hugh III of Cyprus and his wife Isabella of Ibelin. She was Queen of Aragon by her marriage and was a member of the House of Poitiers-Lusignan.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Marie was the fifth of thirteen children. Her siblings included John II of Jerusalem, Henry II of Jerusalem and Amalric, Prince of Tyre.

paragraph: Marie remained unmarried for many years; she was recorded as having been present in her brother Amalric's court in 1310. She was however eventually betrothed to James II of Aragon in 1315, who had been married twice before and was father to ten legitimate children.

paragraph: As Marie was heiress to Cyprus, James considered a matrimonial union with her to be politically advantageous. They married by proxy at Santa Sophia, Nicosia on 15 June 1315 and in person at Girona on 27 November 1315. Marie was already forty-two and the marriage was purely for reasons of state, so James could rule Cyprus on the death of Marie's brother Henry. They had no children.

paragraph: The couple were only married for four years before Marie died in Tortosa in April 1319. As Marie did not outlive her brother, James' plans of ruling Cyprus had failed. After Marie's death James complained that she had been too old and had not proved companionable. Marie's brother Henry died five years later and was succeeded by their nephew Hugh. James remarried a final time to Elisenda de Montcada before his death in 1327.
