paragraph: Michael A. Taylor

paragraph: Michael Anthony Taylor (born March 26, 1991), often referred to as Michael A. Taylor, is an American professional baseball center fielder for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball (MLB).

paragraph: Taylor was drafted in the sixth round (172nd overall) of the 2009 MLB draft by the Washington Nationals. He made his MLB debut in 2014.

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

paragraph: Taylor was born to military parents; his father, Anthony Taylor, was a logistics officer for 22 years in the U.S. Army. Taylor has four older sisters. He was a high school teammate of Matt den Dekker, with whom he would play for the Washington Nationals in the 2015 and 2016 seasons, while attending Westminster Academy.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2009–13 seasons.

paragraph: Taylor was signed out of Westminster Academy as a shortstop in the 2009 Major League Baseball draft, after the Washington Nationals selected him with their sixth-round pick. He forwent a commitment to the University of North Florida to go professional with the Nationals. Taylor did not make his minor league debut in the 2009 season but served as a versatile infielder for the Gulf Coast League Nationals in 2010, committing 21 errors across three positions: shortstop, second baseman, and third baseman. He appeared in 38 games and batted .195 with one home run.

paragraph: At the beginning of fall instructional league play in 2010, Taylor was told he would be switching positions from shortstop to center fielder, after a hand injury had limited his development in the infield in his first year in the Nationals' minor league system. Beginning at the Class A Hagerstown Suns in 2011, Taylor exclusively appeared as an outfielder, a trend that continued with the Class A-Advanced Potomac Nationals in 2012 and 2013. His offensive output improved as well, as he batted .263 with 10 home runs in 133 games with the Potomac Nationals in 2013, earning him honors as the team's Player of the Year, before heading to Puerto Rican winter baseball to play for the Indios de Mayaguez.

paragraph: Taylor was added to the Washington Nationals' 40-man roster on November 20, 2013, after the end of the 2013 season. At the time, he ranked as the Nationals' fourth-best prospect according to "MLB Pipeline", and seventh-best according to "Baseball America".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2014 season.

paragraph: On August 10, Taylor was called up by the Nationals when Steven Souza was placed on the 15-day disabled list. On August 12, he made his Major League debut against the New York Mets in Citi Field, where he collected his first major league hit, a single off pitcher Rafael Montero. He also hit his first major league home run, a two-run homer against pitcher Carlos Torres, that night. Taylor was optioned back to the AAA Syracuse Chiefs on August 23, after the Nationals selected veteran Nate Schierholtz's contract. He was again recalled after rosters expanded in September and was in center field on September 28, in the final game of the 2014 regular season, when Jordan Zimmermann completed the first no-hitter in Nationals history.

paragraph: Taylor was ranked third among Nationals prospects by the end of 2014 by "MLB Pipeline" and second by "Baseball America".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2015 season.

paragraph: Taylor opened the 2015 season as the Nationals' starting center fielder while Denard Span was on the disabled list. Despite starting the season well by sporting a .279 batting average, he was optioned to the Class-AAA Syracuse Chiefs on April 19 to make room on the active roster for Span. He was recalled on April 29 when Reed Johnson was placed on the disabled list. During an away game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 13, Taylor substituted for right fielder Bryce Harper after Harper was ejected in the seventh inning. In his first at-bat in the ninth inning, he came up with the bases loaded for the first time in his career and hit a go-ahead grand slam, effectively clinching the game for the Nationals.

paragraph: On August 20, Taylor hit the second-longest home run of the 2015 MLB season, crushing a pitch from Colorado Rockies starter Yohan Flande 493 feet into the stands at Coors Field. Taylor suffered a right knee injury on August 27 after slamming into the wall while attempting to run down a line drive off the bat of Melvin Upton, Jr., but he was healthy enough to make a pinch-hitting appearance in the tenth inning against the Atlanta Braves on September 4. He hit a three-run home run for a walk-off victory over the visiting Braves.

paragraph: On September 8, Taylor hit a "Little League grand slam" off of New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey after a bases-loaded single got by center fielder Yoenis Céspedes and went to the wall. He was not credited with an inside-the-park home run, with an error being charged to Céspedes on the play. Taylor himself allowed an inside-the-park grand slam on a similar play just weeks later, as he dove and missed a ball hit by Philadelphia Phillies rookie Aaron Altherr in a September 25 game, unloading the bases and allowing Altherr to score on his own hit. The play was scored a home run for Altherr.

paragraph: Taylor finished the 2015 season batting .229/.282/.358 with 14 home runs, 16 stolen bases, and a .640 on-base plus slugging percentage in 472 at bats over 138 games.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2016 season.

paragraph: Taylor opened the 2016 season as the Washington Nationals' fourth outfielder, but an Opening Day injury to starting center fielder Ben Revere quickly thrust him into an everyday spot in the lineup.

paragraph: On June 22, Taylor had what a writer for the New England Sports Network described as possibly "the worst game in baseball history." He had five swinging strikeouts against the Los Angeles Dodgers and a fielding error that cost the Nationals the game when he failed to get his glove to the ground in time while charging a routine groundball hit by Yasiel Puig in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Nationals were up by one run, 2–3, and the error resulted in Taylor's future Nationals teammate Howie Kendrick, who was on first base for the Dodgers at the time, and Puig both scoring for a walk-off Los Angeles victory.

paragraph: Taylor was optioned to the Syracuse Chiefs to make room for the reactivation of closer Jonathan Papelbon on July 4, but he was recalled after appearing in just one game for the Chiefs after first baseman Ryan Zimmerman was placed on the disabled list on July 8. Taylor's return to the major leagues was short-lived, however, as he was optioned back to Syracuse after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss against the San Diego Padres on July 24.

paragraph: Taylor rejoined the major league team after a little more than a month with the Chiefs, where he posted a meager .205 batting average over 31 games, being recalled August 29. He found himself once again relegated to a bench role, with rookie Trea Turner taking over in center field for the ineffectual Revere. He finished out the season batting .231./278/.376 with a .654 on-base plus slugging percentage, seven home runs, and 16 stolen bases in 221 at bats in 76 major league games, and he was among the players named to the Nationals' playoff roster in the 2016 National League Division Series, where he received two at-bats and struck out in both appearances.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2017 season.

paragraph: Coming off what he described as a "pretty disappointing" 2016 season, Taylor found himself in the familiar role of backup outfielder for the Nationals in the 2017 season, with Adam Eaton taking over in center field and Trea Turner shifting to the shortstop position. However, for the third straight season, Taylor found himself in the role of everyday center fielder after the presumptive starter was injured early in the year, with Eaton tearing ligaments in his knee while running the bases in late April. Given regular playing time, Taylor resurrected a batting average that had hovered below .200 in limited appearances prior to Eaton's season-ending injury, hitting .290 in May and June while demonstrating above-average power.

paragraph: Taylor landed on the major league disabled list for the first time in his career on July 7 with an oblique strain. He spent more than a month on the disabled list, with rookie Brian Goodwin taking over as the Nationals' regular center fielder in Taylor's absence. Upon Taylor's return to the team on August 13, after rehab assignments with the minor league Potomac Nationals and Harrisburg Senators, Taylor reclaimed his spot in the starting lineup.

paragraph: Two years to the day after his "Little League grand slam" against the New York Mets, on September 8, 2017, Taylor hit a bases-loaded line drive to center field off Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jake Thompson that a leaping Odubel Herrera was unable to snare. Taylor circled the bases on the play, which was scored an inside-the-park grand slam — the first in Major League Baseball since Aaron Altherr's on September 25, 2015. In the same game, Taylor also singled twice and tripled, driving in a total of five runs, and recorded an outfield assist at home to preserve the Nationals' lead in the eventual 11–10 victory. Taylor finished the regular season batting .271/.320/.486 with 19 home runs, 53 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases in 399 at bats.

paragraph: In Game 4 of the 2017 NLDS against the Chicago Cubs, Taylor hit a grand slam to put the Nationals ahead 5-0 and stave off elimination. It was the first grand slam in Nationals post-season history. Taylor hit a go-ahead three-run homer on the second inning of Game 5 (which the Nationals ultimately lost 9-8).

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2018 season.

paragraph: In 2018 Taylor struggled at the plate to start the season, batting .223 in April and .183 in May, but hit his stride in June, batting .444. He also led the major leagues in stolen bases as late as June 21. However, Taylor lost significant playing time due to the return of Adam Eaton and the strong performance of Juan Soto, relegating Taylor to fourth outfielder status. Taylor struggled again at the plate with limited playing time in the second half of the season, and finished 2018 batting .227/.287/.357, with six home runs, 28 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases in 363 at bats.

paragraph: In the 2018-2019 offseason, Taylor worked with Nationals hitting coach Kevin Long to change his stance and swing to generate more contact, and practiced his new swing in the Dominican Winter League. Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo said in December 2018 that he believes Taylor could be a five-tool player if he can make more contact.

paragraph: Tali Esen Morgan

paragraph: Tali Esen Morgan (28 October 1858 – June 1941), born Taliesen Morgan, was a Welsh-born American conductor, composer, and publisher. He was the musical director at Ocean Grove, a large Methodist summer resort on the New Jersey shore, for almost twenty years.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Taliesen Morgan was born at Llangynwyd, Glamorganshire, one of ten children of Thomas Llyfnwy Morgan and Gwenllian Beven Morgan. He attended schools in Maesteg, and held an apprenticeship with a printer. He settled with his family in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1876, for three years. Although he was very young, he published a Welsh-interest newspaper, "The Cambro-American", while there.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1897, Morgan directed choirs for a summer concert at Ocean Grove. The following year, he became the resort's musical director. Conductor Walter Damrosch encouraged him to use "Tali Esen" rather than the original version of his first name. As musical director, he worked with visiting artists such as Enrico Caruso, John Phillips Sousa, Lillian Nordica, and Louise Homer. He was responsible for a thousand-voice children's chorus, and a 63-piece orchestra.

paragraph: He oversaw the purchase and installation of the Robert Hope-Jones organ in the Great Auditorium in 1908. He composed the "Storm Fantasia" for the Hope-Jones organ, and that piece played regularly in the Great Auditorium for many years; it was a staple offering of other theatre organ recitals too.

paragraph: Morgan continued as musical director at Ocean Grove until 1915. Morgan was also music director at Second Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh. He conducted the New York Festival Chorus, and was president of the International Correspondence School of Music.

paragraph: After Ocean Grove, Morgan co-directed the Asbury Park Summer School in 1917. In 1919 he conducted a large girls' chorus at the Baptist Temple in Brooklyn.

paragraph: Morgan composed or arranged many works for choral performance. He published a Methodist hymnal based on the songs sung at Ocean Grove.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Tali Esen Morgan married Mary Jane Jones in 1881. They had six children. One son, Paul Morgan, died in 1929, at age 33. Another son, Kays Richard Morgan, became a lawyer in New Jersey. Tali Esen Morgan was widowed in 1938. He died in summer 1941, age 82, after a heart attack at his daughter Edith's house in New York.

paragraph: Lorenzo the Elder

paragraph: Lorenzo the Elder (c. 1395 – 23 September 1440) was an Italian banker of the House of Medici of Florence, the younger brother of Cosimo de' Medici the Elder and progenitor of the so-called "Popolani" ("commoner") line of the family, named for a later generation whose members were supporters of the Florentine political activist Girolamo Savonarola.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Lorenzo was the son of Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici and Piccarda Bueri, educated by Carlo Marsuppini. In 1416, he married Ginevra Cavalcanti. To celebrate their marriage, the Venetian humanist Francesco Barbaro wrote his treatise "De Re Uxoria", an analysis of marriage that continued to be published for centuries. Lorenzo and Ginevra had two sons: Francesco, who was childless, and Pierfrancesco, who originated the Popolani line. Ginevra Cavalcanti was an aunt of the wife of the famous Italian merchant Giovanni Arnolfini.

paragraph: Lorenzo followed his brother Cosimo in his military maneuvers at Ferrara, Verona and Vicenza. In 1433 he tried to muster an army to free Cosimo from imprisonment when the latter was arrested under the charge of tyranny. Later, he joined him at Venice and returned with him in Florence triumphantly after Cosimo's rehabilitation.

paragraph: Though dedicating himself much to banking activity, Lorenzo held several positions in the Florentine Republic and was ambassador to Pope Eugene IV and the Republic of Venice. In 1435, he moved to Rome to oversee the affairs of the Medici Bank at the papal court.

paragraph: Lorenzo the Elder was ancestor to all the Grand Dukes of Tuscany through his direct descendant Cosimo I de' Medici. He is also the ancestor to all the kings of France beginning with Louis XIII as a result of the marriage of Marie de' Medici to King Henry IV of France.

paragraph: He died in the Medici Villa of Careggi in 1440 and was buried in the Basilica of San Lorenzo.

paragraph: Section::::Fictional Depictions.

paragraph: A young Lorenzo is portrayed by Stuart Martin in the 2016 television series "". Although the television production has him assassinated, these events did not take place in real life. The show appears to be using elements from a later attack on his great nephew, also named Lorenzo, for dramatic effect.

paragraph: Margherita Guidacci

paragraph: Margherita Guidacci (April 25, 1921 – June 19, 1992), was an Italian poet born in Florence, Italy. She graduated from the University of Florence in 1943 and traveled to England and Ireland in 1947.

paragraph: Guidacci married the sociologist Lucca Pinna in 1949, and they moved to Rome in 1957. The poet taught English language and literature at the "Liceo Scientifico Cavour" for ten years, from 1965 to 1975.

paragraph: Section::::Literary style.

paragraph: The poetry of Margherita Guidacci is deeply spiritual but not in the religious sense. Rather her poems include profound sentiments and a view of life as a search for regeneration and resurrection from death. Guidacci regarded life as a passage and its desolation and pain a means toward transformation beyond death.

paragraph: Section::::Translator of English poets.

paragraph: Guidacci is noted for her Italian translations of English poets, including John Donne's sermons and Emily Dickinson's poetry. T. S. Eliot and Elizabeth Bishop are among other poets Guidacci translated into her native language.

paragraph: Section::::Translator of English poets.:English education.

paragraph: Guidacci obtained the "libera docenza" in the English language and literature in 1972. From 1975 to 1981, she taught English and American Literature at the University of Macerata and the College of Maria Assunta attached to the Vatican in Rome, where she lived until her death in 1992.

paragraph: Section::::Literary awards.

paragraph: The year following her husband's death in 1977, Guidacci was awarded the "Biela Poesia" literary prize for her collection "Il vuoto e le forme". Guidacci traveled to the United States in 1986, and was the recipient of the 1987 "Premio Caserta" for her complete works. Among literary prizes Guidacci was awarded are: Carducci Prize, 1957; Ceppo Prize, 1971; Lerici Prize, 1972; Gabbici Prize, 1974; Seanno Prize, 1976.

paragraph: Section::::Coined "paparazzi".

paragraph: The English usage of the word "paparazzi" is credited to Margherita Guidacci’s translation of Victorian writer George Gissing’s travel book "By the Ionian Sea" (1901). A character in Margherita Guidacci's "Sulle Rive dello Ionio" (1957) is a restaurant-owner named Coriolano Paparazzo. The name was in turn chosen by Ennio Flaiano, the screenwriter of the Federico Fellini film, "La Dolce Vita", who got it from Guidacci's book. By the late 1960s, the word, usually in the Italian plural form "paparazzi", had entered the English lexicon as a generic term for intrusive photographers.

paragraph: Jacques Durandi

paragraph: Jacques Durandi (ca. 1410 - 1469) was an Italian painter active in France. Together with his brother Christophe, he worked in Nice. Very little is known of his life, but a few of his works have survived. The main one is the Saint Margaret retable in the Fréjus Cathedral. Another retable, originally from Lucéram, is now kept in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nice.

paragraph: He presumably learned to paint in Siena or from a Sienese master. He worked circa 1440 in Bouyon, in 1443 in Taggia in northern Italy, and around 1450 in Fréjus and possibly Marseille. Between 1454 and 1469 he is recorded as working in Nice, painting works for churches, but also portraits and decorations. The early works of Ludovico Brea are similar to the work of Durandi, which may indicate that Brea was his pupil.

paragraph: Blanche Ames Ames

paragraph: Blanche Ames Ames (February 18, 1878 – March 2, 1969) was an American artist, political activist, inventor, writer, and prominent supporter of women's suffrage and birth control.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Born Blanche Ames in Lowell, Massachusetts, Ames was the daughter of Civil War General and Mississippi Governor Adelbert Ames and Blanche Butler Ames. The fourth of six children, she was the sister of Adelbert Ames Jr., a prominent scientist. She was also granddaughter to Civil War General and Massachusetts Governor Benjamin Butler and actress Sarah Hildreth Butler.

paragraph: Ames attended the Rogers Hall School in Lowell. She was later one of few women of her time to attend college, earning a B.A. in Art History and a diploma in Studio Art from Smith College in 1899. She was the president of her graduating class.

paragraph: In 1900 she married Harvard University botany professor Oakes Ames (no relation) and took the married name Blanche Ames Ames. The Ameses had four children: Pauline (born 1901), Oliver (born 1903), Amyas (born 1906), and Evelyn (born 1910). Pauline grew up to write many books about her family, including "Oakes Ames, Jottings of a Harvard Botanist" (1979), and "The Plimpton Papers, Law and Diplomacy" (1985). One of Ames' grandchildren was George Ames Plimpton, famed sportswriter.

paragraph: The Ames estate in North Easton, Massachusetts, called Borderland, was designed by Ames herself in the early 1900s. It is now Borderland State Park.

paragraph: Section::::As an artist.

paragraph: Ames was a talented artist in a variety of media. Her work included portraiture, primarily done in oil paint, botanical illustration, and political cartoons.

paragraph: Though introduced to art through her mother Blanche Ames’s lifelong interest in painting, Blanche Ames Ames first became seriously interested in practicing art as a college student. Praised by her professors and classmates, she began to envision her life as an artist. Through her persistence, and with the encouragement her husband Oakes (who gifted her with an extravagant set of books on famous artists while courting her) this vision became reality.

paragraph: Beyond the knowledge of art history she gained at Smith, Ames was well aware of artists of her own time. In Boston, she sat for a portrait by prominent American Impressionist Edmund C. Tarbell in 1906. She attended the armory show of modern art in New York City in 1913. Though not a part of the circle of women producing suffrage cartoons in New York, who were connected through Heterodoxy and other organizations, she kept close watch on their work and other efforts toward suffrage in both England and America, hiring a newspaper clipping service to save suffrage news from 1915 to 1916.

paragraph: In 1902, she began illustrating Oakes Ames's botanical publications, including his seven volume treatise on orchids, which is still considered one of the best researched to this day. Previously he had illustrated the orchids himself with watercolor. Blanche Ames Ames first used watercolors for the orchid illustrations, but later switched to copperplate etching. She also published detailed pen and ink drawings of the orchids. The illustrations were drawn from dried plant specimens observed through a camera lucida. Blanche Ames Ames continued to illustrate orchids throughout their life together, eventually designing the decorations which now appear at both of their graves.

paragraph: During the 1910s Blanche Ames Ames produced a number of political cartoons promoting women’s suffrage, which appeared in publications including "Woman’s Journal," and the "Boston American." In 1915 she became the art editor of "Woman’s Journal," which had relocated its headquarters from New York to nearby Boston three years prior.

paragraph: Ames's etchings are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and her oil painting can be seen at Harvard, Dartmouth, and Columbia University.

paragraph: Section::::Women's Rights Work.

paragraph: Ames held a lifelong passion for women's rights. In 1915, when Massachusetts voters would decide whether to allow women the right to vote, Blanche attended 40 events throughout the commonwealth to spread the word of female equality. She was president of the Easton Woman Suffrage League and from 1915 to 1918 she was Treasurer of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage League. In 1916 she helped found the Birth Control League of Massachusetts, an affiliate of Margaret Sanger's group, the American Birth Control League, and served as first President. In this role Ames helped to form The Doctors Bill to Clarify the Law, which regulated the ability of doctors to provide birth control counseling to married women with health problems, and later helped establish universal access to birth control. Massachusetts did not legalize contraception for married women until 1966, the last state in the nation to do so, and Ames set the standard for perseverance in the decades-long effort.

paragraph: In 1941 Ames also served as a board member and later as President of the New England Hospital for Women and Children in Boston. NEH was managed by women serving purposely only women and children. They intended to give medical care services to the same sex . In 1952 because of financial circumstances they opened up to the possibility of employing male staff. Ames fought to keep the hospital as only female staff and administration through funding methods.

paragraph: Section::::Inventions.

paragraph: Ames held patents for inventions which included a hexagonal lumber cutter and a method for entrapping enemy aircraft.

paragraph: During World War II, Ames came across the realization that thread could snarl and jam a sewing machine motor, Blanche then used that same principle to design a device to ensnare low-flying aircraft. The machine was demonstrated on the lawn at Borderland for guests from the Pentagon. Although it was accepted by the U.S. Army, it came too late for it to be applied in war.

paragraph: Section::::Inventions.:The Ames Color System.

paragraph: In the early 1910s Ames' brother, Adelbert Ames, Jr., a scientist particularly interested in vision, moved into her studio for painting lessons. With her brother Ames began to develop a color notation system more extensive than the Munsell color system. Together the two created coded color swatches which corresponded to particular tubes of paint. The artist would use these swatches to select the most realistic colors and the codes would be mapped out on a drawing before the paint was applied. Blanche Ames Ames first put this system to use in a painting in 1912. She continued to use this color notation after her collaboration with her brother had concluded.

paragraph: Joanny Thévenoud (March 14, 1878 - September 16, 1949) was a French apostolic vicar of the White Fathers, best remembered for his missionary, ecclesiastical and public development work in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Serrières-en-Chautagne in 1878, he was ordained for the Congregation of the White Fathers in Carthage on 28 June 1903, and was sent to Ouagadougou, where he arrived on November 11, 1903. There, he was appointed a superior at the missionary in 1907. In subsequent decades, he was responsible for a number of important development works in Upper Volta, including the ordering of the first dam in 1915 (Akosombo Dam), the establishment of a sewing centre for young Christian girls in 1917, a spinning and carpentry centre for men in 1927, and ordering construction of Ouagadougou Cathedral, built in 1934-1936.

paragraph: In the 1930s, Thévenoud brought the matter of pawnship and child marriages to the colonial administration. Though slavery had been banned since 1905, one could still pawn a young relative to gain funds to settle a debt or pay taxes. To those without other property to mortgage, people became the collateral. The pawn served to offset the interest and debt maintenance, but did not work to pay off the debt. When the borrower had repaid, the pawn was returned. Authorities had tried to avoid getting involved in the local custom but by the 1930s, pressure from Thévenoud and his supporter, French Senator , forced the colonial administration to repress pawnship, treating it like slavery. Because so many of the pawned victims were young women and girls, the change in policy toward pawnship, also resulted in a series of measures to ban child marriages.

paragraph: Thévenoud was appointed as the first Archbishop of Ouagadougou on 8 July 1921. In 1942, Thévenoud established the first Normal School of teachers of the mission, and five years later, set up the Young Christian Students Association. He died on September 16, 1949 in Ouagadougou, and was buried at the cathedral.

paragraph: Missy Giove

paragraph: Melissa Giove (born 1972) is an American professional downhill mountain biker. Her nickname is "The Missile". Giove was one of mountain-bike racing's first mainstream superstars, appearing on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and in adverts for Reebok. Throughout her career she won 14 NORBA downhill titles and 11 world cups. Giove's other accomplishments include three overall NORBA downhill crowns, two World Cup overalls, and the 1994 world championship title.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Prior to cycling, Giove was also a nationally ranked downhill skier. She discovered mountain-biking during the offseason.

paragraph: William H. Strayer

paragraph: Private William H. Strayer (born 1847, date of death unknown) was an American soldier in the U.S. Army who served with the 3rd U.S. Cavalry during the Indian Wars in Nebraska. He was one of four men, along with Sergeant John H. Foley, First Sergeant Leroy Vokes and civilian scout William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody, awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry in action against a Miniconjou Sioux raiding party at the Loupe Fork of the Platte River on April 26, 1872.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in 1847 in Maytown, Pennsylvania, Strayer enlisted in the United States Army in nearby Carlisle and was assigned to Company B of the 3rd U.S. Cavalry Regiment as a private. Sent out west to the frontier, he was later stationed at Fort McPherson under the command of Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds and saw action during the Indian wars in Nebraska during the early 1870s.

paragraph: On April 25, 1872, Strayer left the fort with the rest of Company B led by Captain Charles Meinhold on the trail of a band of Miniconjou Sioux who had raided the McPherson station on the Union Pacific Railroad, located approximately five miles from the fort, killing several men and stealing a large number of horses. The regiment was guided by civilian scout William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and caught up to the Indian raiders the following morning, discovering their camp near the Loupe Fork (near present-day Stapleton, Nebraska) of the Platte River. Upon reaching the Loupe Fork, Captain Meinhold sent Cody and a detachment of ten soldiers under Sergeant John H. Foley for reconnaissance of the south bank of the river while the main force crossed to the north side.

paragraph: Cody skillfully guided the soldiers to within fifty years of the Sioux camp before being discovered. Though outnumbered two-to-one, Foley decided to attack the raiders rather than risk them escaping. Strayer was among the troopers who followed Sergeant Foley's charge into the camp and, according to a later report by Meinhold, "bravely closed in upon an Indian while he was fired at several times, and wounded him". Three of the Indian raiders were killed, one by Cody and two others chased down by the main cavalry force as they attempted to flee, while six others out hunting were alerted by the gunfire and successfully escaped. With the Sioux raiding party broken up, Strayer and the three men who fought beside him, William Cody and Sergeants John Foley and Leroy Vokes, were cited for "gallantry in action" and awarded the Medal of Honor on May 22, 1872. After his discharge from Camp Sheridan on December 18, 1874, Strayer disappeared like so many other MOH recipients from the period. No subsequent public records, including pension or medical files, have been found.

paragraph: Vojin Bakić

paragraph: Vojin Bakić (; 5 June 1915 – 18 December 1992) was a prominent Croatian sculptor of Serbian descent.

paragraph: Section::::Work and artistic career.

paragraph: Bakić was an important figure, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s Croatian contemporary art scene, and collaborated with the group EXAT-51 and the Nove tendencije (New Tendencies) movement. He executed many public sculptures notably, the "Call to Arms (the man from Bjelovar)", Bjelovar (1946) the "Monument to the Revolution" in Kamenska (1958–1968), the "Monument to the Train Accident Victims" in Zagreb (1975–1978), the "Monument to the Uprising of the People of Kordun and Banija" on Petrova Gora (1982) as well as monuments in Kragujevac and Dotrščina (Valley of Graves).

paragraph: After 1945 he gravitated towards the impressionistic treatment of the surface. This period is primarily marked by his portraits of Ivan Goran Kovačić (1946) and Silvije Strahimir Kranjčević (1948). During the 1950s Bakić reduced the volume of his sculptures by the use of sharp fractures as edges, and later by merging the details of the sculptural mass ("Self-portrait", 1952 and "sketch for the Marx and Engels Monument", 1950–1953). During that time, he made an entire series of bull sculptures in various dimensions ("Bull", 1950, 1956). With the series entitled "Nudes, Torsos and Heads" he completed his focus on organic, associative shapes, and from 1958 he turned towards the challenge of open forms, inner spaces and light reflections. Further professional development made him the first artist in a local context to follow the principles of geometric abstraction and to start the study of optic effects. By alternating concave and convex surfaces, he made "light shapes" which were close to constructivist poetics. In "Elaborated Surfaces" (1960–1964) he articulated strict and consistent units made of lined-up elements, whereas in "Light-bearing Shapes" (1963–1964) he created effective structures by means of modulating identical mirror units, for which he also used new materials, such as stainless steel.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions and awards.

paragraph: At his first solo exhibition (Bjelovar, 1940) he exhibited drawings and sculptures where the predominating subjects were female nudes in stone, characterized by reduced curves and closed volumes. From 1940 he participated at many national and international exhibitions: the Venice Biennial (1950, 1956, 1964), the Mediterranean Biennial in Alexandria (1956, 1969), the Milan Triennial XI (1957), Documenta in Kassel (1959), the Rijeka Salon (1959, 1961). He also exhibited with Ivan Picelj and Aleksandar Srnec in Paris (Gallery Denis René, 1959) and London (1960). He participated at the New Tendencies exhibitions (Zagreb, 1963, 1969, Gelsenkirchen, 1969 and Mainz, 1971), the São Paulo Biennial (1969), and at the exhibition "Constructivism and Kinetic Art" (Zagreb, 1995). Gallery Nova (Zagreb, 2007), in collaboration with the artist's family, organized the opening of Bakić's first solo exhibition in Croatia after 41 years. In 1979 he received the Vladimir Nazor Award for life achievement.

paragraph: Section::::Destruction of Bakić's monuments.

paragraph: During early 1990s, after the fall of the Communist regime, many of Bakić's Yugoslav World War II monuments and memorials in Croatia were damaged, destroyed or removed from public spaces.

paragraph: a) Destroyed monuments from 1990 to 1995:

paragraph: Dora Noyce

paragraph: Dora Noyce (born Georgie Hunter Rae, 1900–1977) was a Scottish brothel keeper ('madam') based in Edinburgh.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Rose Street, Edinburgh, the youngest of five, her parents were Alexander Rae, a cutler, and his wife Mary. The poverty of her upbringing led Rae to prostitution and was working in the occupation before she reached her majority, soon adopting the accent of the affluent Morningside district of the city. Although not her first offence, she did not receive her first conviction for living off immoral earnings until 1934. Noyce had a daughter Violet (b. 1923), and took the surname of her child's official father to use as a pseudonym.

paragraph: Section::::At 17 Danube Street.

paragraph: Noyce had begun to operate as a madam from premises at 17 Danube Street, Stockbridge, Edinburgh by the end of the second world war and remained there until she died. She owned two floors of 17 Danube Street, plus other properties in the city and in Blackpool, although none of these are believed to have been used as brothels.

paragraph: Overseeing 15 resident prostitutes, Noyce was able to draw on up to 25 other women in busy periods. She could call on a contact in Glasgow and additional women would arrive in taxis. Her employees had regular health checks in line with the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1949 which legislated that "habitual prostitutes" should be checked for Sexually transmitted diseases. While she claimed in an interview that demand for her services was greatest during the Edinburgh International Festival, her second busiest period was when the general assembly of the Church of Scotland was in session each May. Queues formed around the block when certain ships were in port. The aircraft carrier "USS John F. Kennedy" docked at Leith in 1970 leading to her women reportedly attending to £4,000 of business in one night. The ship's captain was forced to declare the house off-limits.

paragraph: Dora Noyce disliked the description of her premises as a brothel, preferring "a house of leisure and pleasure" or "a YMCA with extras" and once observed: "In my profession there is no such thing as bad publicity, so do make sure you print the correct address in your newspaper". Scottish writer Roddy Martine stumbled into Noyce's establishment in the early 1970s, though remained uninvolved: "I remember it being rather scruffy. There was a big television and girls sitting about on sofas with drunken men. Dora served glasses of dry white wine and asked the suddenly sober stag night revellers if they were sailors". Because of its notoriety, neighbours in the vicinity of Noyce's brothel, managed to gain a reduction in their rates because of the impact on the value of local properties.

paragraph: A Conservative supporter who displayed banners for the party in her windows during elections, she embarrassed her member of parliament by turning up at garden fetes. She also attended Kirk, the services of the Church of Scotland.

paragraph: Section::::Law and Order.

paragraph: Known for dressing in a fur coat, twinset and pearls, giving an outwardly respectable image, Noyce was charged 47 times for living off immoral earnings, but generally instantly paid the fine (sometimes up to £250). When charged, according to a former senior Edinburgh policeman, she would only admit to "doing what comes naturally" and "would simply accept it as part of the job. She would pay the fine, keep a low profile for a day or two and then" continue "as if nothing had happened". Other accounts relate that she would converse with the press at Deacon Brodie's pub (in the Royal Mile) after a court appearance.

paragraph: Pleading guilty to charges relating to running a brothel, she was sentenced to two terms of three months in prison on 31 May 1972, serving for four-months, in what turned out her last period in custody. On her release, she said her sentence "was very stupid of the court. I was just a burden on the ratepayers and, goodness knows, they have enough to put up with already".

paragraph: She served as a police informer on occasion, which helped to reduce the number of raids, and reportedly had an "arrangement" whereby she would only be raided about twice a year in exchange for information, often about stolen goods. On one official visit, she reputedly asked: "Business or pleasure, gentlemen?" Local councillors commented that they received more complaints when Noyce was in prison because her business was less well managed.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: She became one of Edinburgh's characters, well known to locals, who was mourned when she died. A neighbour corresponded to "The Scotsman" newspaper in a letter published on 26 August 1977: "I confess to having felt something of affection for Dora Noyce. At least she was prepared to accept responsibility for what occurred within and outside of her premises. ...It may well be that Mrs Noyce was right when she always claimed that she offered a necessary social service". The establishment finally closed not long after she died.

paragraph: Andrew MacCallum

paragraph: Andrew McCullum (1821–1902) was a British landscape painter.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born at Nottingham, of Scottish Highland background, he was son of an employee at the William Gibson & Sons hosiery manufactory there. He was brought up near Sherwood Forest, and unwillingly apprenticed against his will to his father's business. An interest in drawing was encouraged by Thomas Bailey who allowed him to copy pictures in his collection.

paragraph: On his 21st birthday McCallum left home, and maintained himself by teaching. Aged 22 twenty-two he became a student in the recently founded Government School of Art at Nottingham. He exhibited a view of Flint Castle at the British Institution in London in 1849. About this time he became a student at the Government School of Design at Somerset House, where J. R. Herbert, Richard Redgrave, and John Callcott Horsley were among his instructors. In 1850 he first exhibited at the Royal Academy. From that year till 1852 he was assistant master at the Manchester School of Art, and from 1852 to 1854 he was headmaster of the School of Art at Stourbridge, after the brief tenure from 1851 of Henry Alexander Bowler. There he resided at the Old Parsonage, New Street.

paragraph: In 1854 MacCallum went to Italy with a travelling studentship awarded by the Science and Art Department. Part of his time was spent on mural decorations; returning to England in 1857, he decorated the western exterior of the Sheepshanks Gallery at the South Kensington Museum with panels of sgraffito. He then concentrated on landscape, with subjects at Burnham Beeches and in Windsor Forest. Among patrons were John Phillip and James Nasmyth, and he was awarded a silver medal by the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts.

paragraph: Towards the end of 1861 MacCallum painted at Fontainebleau; in 1864 he worked in Switzerland and on the River Rhine; in 1866 he was in Italy; in the winter of 1866–7 he was in the neighbourhood of Paris. Between 1870 and 1875 he paid several visits to Egypt where he made many sketches of rural life. He was "the Painter" who accompanied Amelia Edwards in 1873- 1874 on her Dahabiya in her best selling book "A Thousand Miles Up the Nile". About 1875 he was commissioned by Queen Victoria to paint five views near Balmoral. He sometimes lectured on art subjects.

paragraph: MacCallum died on 22 January 1902 at 5 The Studios, Holland Park Road, Kensington, London. He had lived in the neighbourhood since 1858 when he leased from Thomas Webster his house in The Mall, Kensington.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: From Wikimedia Commons, the fr

paragraph: MacCallum's reputation rested mainly on woodland subjects. He sent 53 pictures to the Royal Academy (1850–1886) and others to the British Institution, Society of British Artists, and International Exhibitions (1870–1). Special exhibitions of his paintings were held at the Dudley Gallery in 1866 and at Nottingham in 1873; his "Sultry Eve" was shown at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876. He used water-colour, and drew in pastel and in gold, silver, and copper point.

paragraph: The Tate Gallery acquired MacCallum's "Silvery Moments, Burnham Beeches" (1885), and "The Monarch of the Glen"; the Victoria and Albert Museum his "In Sherwood Forest—Winter Evening after Rain" (1881), "S. Maria delle Grazie, Milan" (1854), "Rome from the Porta San Pancrazio" (1855–6), "The Burning of Rome by Nero, and the Massacre of the Christians" (1878–9), and "Head of Christ" after Daniele Crespi. The City of Nottingham Art Gallery bought "The Major Oak, Sherwood Forest" (1882), measuring about 9 ft. by 12 ft., and "The Opening Scene in Bailey's "Festus"".

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: MacCallum was twice married: (1) to Miss Tetlow (d. c. 1875) of Altrincham, of independent means; and (2) to Miss Salway of Ludlow, by whom he had two sons, who both served in the Second Boer War.
