paragraph: Mary Fitzgerald (trade unionist)

paragraph: Mary Fitzgerald (also known as Pickhandle Mary) (4 August 1883 – 26 September 1960) was an Irish-born South African political activist and is considered to have been the first female trade unionist in the country.

paragraph: Mary Sinnott was born into a farming family in the townland of Gortins, near Cleariestown, County Wexford in 1883. Her parents were Thomas Sinnott, a farmer, and Margaret Dunne. They also had four other children: Dennis (b. 1880), Doris, Sarah (b. 1886) and Barbara. Mary attended the Presentation Convent in Wexford, where she qualified as a shorthand typist.

paragraph: Her father Thomas travelled to America and got a job as a representative for the Singer Sewing Machine Company. Three months later, he moved to rapidly growing Cape Town as the company representative. In 1900, he returned to Wexford and travelled back to Cape Town with Mary with plans that the rest of the family would follow.

paragraph: At first the fair skinned red-haired Mary found a job working at British military headquarters as one of the first female shorthand typists in South Africa. Her mother and siblings sailed from Southampton to the Cape in December 1900. In Cape Town, Margaret Sinnott started work as a dressmaker on her sewing machine while Dennis got a job on the tramways.

paragraph: Everything was going well for the new immigrant family from Wexford until Dennis had a fall from the top of a tram and died of his injuries. His tram conductor friend John Fitzgerald visited the bereaved family. John and Mary were instantly attracted to one another. They married in St. Mary’s Cathedral and went on to have five children.

paragraph: The Sinnotts and Fitzgeralds later moved to Johannesburg. There Mary became a typist for the Mine Workers Union. She witnessed the appalling conditions of the miners and soon became actively involved speaking herself at union gatherings. Though a short, quietly spoken woman she captivated her audience with her brilliant oration. She developed a firm friendship with suffragette Nina Boyle and became a pioneer in organising unions for women and in the fight for women’s votes and for equality of pay and opportunity.

paragraph: While the Lockout was underway back in Wexford in 1911, Mary was involved in two Johannesburg tramway strikes. The strikers sat on tramlines to stop scab drivers from leaving the depots. Mounted police carrying pickhandles tried to quell the crowd in Market Square but when the police dropped some of their pickhandles in the battle, the crowd took possession of them. These they carried to protest meetings with Mary earning the nickname “Pickhandle Mary”. Other sources attribute the name to an incident in the same year, when a group of protesting women broke into a hardware store armed with pick handles.

paragraph: Mary was involved in many other strikes in Johannesburg leading her “pickhandle brigade” to break up anti-union meetings. She also travelled to England to speak at huge labour rallies.

paragraph: In the first elections for the Johannesburg municipality in 1915, Mary was elected to the city council and served until 1921. She was the first woman to hold public office in the city.

paragraph: Her father Thomas Sinnott died in Johannesburg in 1916.

paragraph: In 1918 she divorced John Fitzgerald and married labour leader Archie Crawford in 1919. They had one child also named Archie. Mary’s husband Archie died in 1924 and she did not take part in public life after 1926.

paragraph: On her retirement she was presented with a car bought by public donations, the first to be owned and driven by a Johannesburg woman.

paragraph: In 1939, Market Square in Newtown, Johannesburg was renamed Mary Fitzgerald Square. The pickhandle she is said to have used is on display in Museum Africa, which is located on the square.

paragraph: Mary died in 1960 at the age of 77.

paragraph: In 2005, Mary Fitzgerald Square hosted the Johannesburg leg of the Live 8 series of concerts organised by Bob Geldof and the square was officially designated a ‘fan park’ during the 2010 World Cup.

paragraph: As a typist for the Mine Workers Union in Johannesburg she was appalled by the conditions under which miners worked and became involved in related industrial action. In Johannesburg, Mary became editor of a radical publication known as The Voice of Labour which she used as a vehicle for contesting capitalist relations and worker rights in the industrialising and colonial city of gold.

paragraph: Yax Nuun Ahiin I

paragraph: Yax Nuun Ahiin I, also known as Curl Snout and Curl Nose (died June 17, 404?), was a 4th-century ruler of the Maya city of Tikal. His name when transcribed is YAX-?-AH:N, translated "First ? Crocodile". He took the throne on September 12, 379, and reigned until his death. He is referred to by the Mayan title "ajaw", meaning "lord".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Yax Nuun Ayiin I was a son of Spearthrower Owl, a lord of Teotihuacan (probably that city's king) in central Mexico. The installation of a Teotihuacano noble on the throne of Tikal marks a high point of Teotihuacan influence in the central Maya lowlands. Yax Nuun Ahiin I may have been a child or youth at the time of his coronation, and the early years of his reign seems to have been dominated by one of his father's generals, Sihyaj K'ahk', in a sort of regency. Sihyaj K'ahk' is recorded as having entered Tikal on 15 May 378, the same date as the death of the previous ruler, Chak Tok Ich'aak I; it appears that this event may have been a conquest in which Yax Nuun Ayiin I was installed by force.

paragraph: Two monuments at Tikal, Stela 4 and Stela 18, are associated with Yax Nuun Ahiin I. Both stelae depict him in Mexican rather than Mayan attire, demonstrating his Teotihuacano origins. He is also depicted on Stela 31, erected by his son Sihyaj Chan K'awiil II, as a Teotihuacano warrior with a plated helmet, spearthrower and square shield decorated with the face of Central Mexican deities. His wife's titles indicate that she may have been a Mayan woman, presumably chosen to integrate his bloodline with the local elites.

paragraph: It is unclear when Yax Nuun Ayiin I died. Stela 31's text indicates that his burial took place in 404, though the text from another sculpture known as the Hombre de Tikal suggests that he may have still been alive in November 406. On the other hand, the K'atun ceremony of May 406, which would ordinarily be presided over by the ruler, is recorded as having been presided over by an otherwise unknown individual called Sihyaj Chan K'inich. This suggests that there may have been an interregnum, possibly with Sihyaj Chan K'inich governing temporarily as a regent, before Sihyaj Chan K'awiil II was enthroned in November 411.

paragraph: Section::::Tomb.

paragraph: The tomb of Yax Nuun Ayiin I, known as "Burial 10", was discovered by University of Pennsylvania archaeologists in the 1950s. It was found deep within a temple built at the foot of the North Acropolis and represents one of the most spectacular and complete Mayan burials yet discovered. The ruler's body had been placed on a wooden funerary bier surrounded by the bodies of at least nine sacrificed youths ranging in age from about six years old to young adulthood. At least one of the sacrificial victims appears to have died inside the funerary chamber. A headless crocodile was also interred with the dead ruler, probably alluding to his name.

paragraph: Numerous offerings were deposited around the chamber, including pottery vessels decorated with Mexican motifs and images of Mexican deities. Among the artefacts were a Maya-style censer in the shape of an elderly deity seated on a stool made from human long bones, turtle carapaces that had been arranged to form a kind of xylophone and a jade ornament in the form of a curl-snouted crocodile.

paragraph: Sak Kʼukʼ also known as Muwaan Mat, Lady Sak Kʼukʼ and Lady Beastie, was queen of the Maya city-state of Palenque. She acceded to the throne in October, 612 and ruled until 615.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Her father was Janahb Pakal and her mother was Yohl Ikʼnal or unknown. As Janaab Pakal seems to have had no male heirs, she ascended to the throne on 19 October 612, a few months after her father's death. After his maturity, her son Kʼinich Janaab Pakal I succeeded her as ruler on 9.9.2.4.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol. She seems to have continued to wield considerable influence over Palenque in the early decades of her son's reign. For example, Sak Kʼukʼ is recorded on Pakal's sarcophagus lid as the ruler who celebrated the seating of the Kʼatun on 9.10.0.0.0 (25 January 633 AD). She was probably mother of Ajen Yohl Mat.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He continued the ambitious project of adorning Palenque with fine art and architecture begun by his father; his most important addition to the city of Palenque was the Temple of the Cross which is the center piece of the Temple of the Cross Complex.

paragraph: Willie Ogg

paragraph: William Robertson Ogg, Jr. (May 10, 1888 – December 25, 1959) was a Scottish-American professional golfer, club maker, and golf course architect. He won the 1921 Shawnee Open, 1923 Maine Open, 1924 New England PGA Championship, and the 1924 Massachusetts Open. He finished tied for 9th place in the 1923 PGA Championship, a career-best result in major championships.

paragraph: Ogg was one of the founding members of the PGA of America, serving as vice president. He was an excellent golf instructor and was the author of the book ""Golf as I Know it"", published posthumously in 1961.

paragraph: He was the first golf club maker to build and patent the forerunner to the modern perimeter-weighted or cavity back iron. Ogg also patented a design for a golf glove.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ogg was born in May 10, 1888 in Carnoustie, Scotland, the son of William Robertson Ogg and Margaret Bissett. He emigrated from Scotland to the U.S. to pursue a career as a professional golfer.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.

paragraph: Ogg began his career in golf as a club maker in Scotland where he worked for the St. Andrews Golf Company. After his arrival in the U.S. he eventually was elected the vice president of the PGA of America. Ogg was instrumental in arranging for the first Ryder Cup matches to be held at his home course of Worcester Country Club in 1927. He laid out the Green Hill Golf Club in Worcester, Massachusetts, and the course opened up for play on April 1, 1929. Ogg is also responsible for the design of the Country Club of Wilbraham in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. After leaving Worcester, he accepted a position as professional and course superintendent at Albany Country Club in Voorheesville, New York, where in 1954 he made changes to improve the quality of the golf course by planting thousands of trees and installing a modern watering system.

paragraph: In 1933, Ogg – who at the time was serving as an advisory staff member for Wilson Staff – created a patented design for distributing weight away from the heel of the clubhead, moving it towards the "sweet spot" of the blade. This design feature was used in the Wilson ""Ogg-mented"" irons, the forerunner of perimeter-weighted or cavity back irons. While working for Wilson Staff, he also enhanced their line of woods in 1930 by improving their shafts; in doing so he obtained better balance between clubhead and shaft.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.:1922 PGA Championship.

paragraph: The 1922 PGA Championship was the fifth PGA Championship, held August 14–18 at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, a suburb northeast of Pittsburgh. The match play field of 64 competitors qualified by sectional tournaments. This was the first PGA Championship with a field of 64 in the bracket, the previous four had fields of 32 players. In the Friday final, Gene Sarazen defeated Emmet French, 4 and 3. Ogg began the tournament with a 2 up victory over Clarence Hackney in his first round match. In the second round, he battled Sarazen in a closely contested match before finally losing 2 and 1. Ogg's final place in the event was a tie for 17th.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.:1923 PGA Championship.

paragraph: In the 1923 PGA Championship, a single-elimination tournament contested from September 24–29 at the Pelham Country Club in Pelham Manor, New York, Ogg improved on his performance from 1922 in the same event. He was at the peak of his playing powers in 1923 and in a first round match was in fine form when he beat Fred Baroni 2 and 1. He wasn't done, as evidenced by a convincing second round win by the score of 12 and 11 over Carl Anderson. Having battled his way into the round of 16, he met George McLean in the third round. Brimming with confidence, Ogg didn't acquiesce easily; it took McLean 38 holes, the final two being playoff holes to break a tie, to finally win 1 up. Ogg's excellent play in this tournament would be his best performance in a major championship during his career, a T9 result.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.:1924 PGA Championship.

paragraph: Ogg didn't fare so well in the 1924 PGA Championship held September 15–20 at the French Lick Springs Golf Club in French Lick, Indiana. Walter Hagen, the 1921 champion, defeated Jim Barnes in the finals 2 up. Most of the competitors in the starting field of 32 first had to qualify in a 36-hole stroke play qualifier on Monday, September 15. Ogg succeeded in qualifying, however he lost to Bobby Cruickshank 7 and 5 in the first round.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.:Memorable matches.

paragraph: On April 26, 1919, Ogg was paired with the young Bobby Jones – who had taken lessons from Ogg – in an alternate shot match held at Druid Hills Golf Club against James Douglas Edgar and Perry Adair. At the time, Ogg was posted as head professional at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta where he succeeded Stewart Maiden who accepted a position at St. Louis Country Club. Jones and Ogg, who had played golf together before, knew each other's game well whereas the pairing of Edgar and Adair did not. Ogg and Jones, who used their previous golf playing partnership to their advantage, were able to prevail in the match by the score of 1 up when Jones holed a putt on the final hole. In June 1919, Ogg partnered with Edgar in a best ball match and beat 17-year-old Jones who on that occasion was paired with Adair.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Ogg died on Christmas Day 1959 in Tampa, Florida. At the time of his death, Ogg was engaged in design work on a new course in Tampa. He is remembered as a touring golf professional with a number of tournament wins and good finishes in golf major championships. He was the first golf club maker to build and patent the forerunner to the modern perimeter-weighted or cavity back iron.

paragraph: His lectures on golf fundamentals at the PGA Assistants' School in Clearwater, Florida, were described by Herb Graffis in 1960 as "classics".

paragraph: Keisai Eisen

paragraph: Keisai Eisen (渓斎 英泉, 1790–1848) was a Japanese "ukiyo-e" artist who specialised in "bijin-ga" (pictures of beautiful women). His best works, including his "ōkubi-e" ("large head pictures"), are considered to be masterpieces of the "decadent" Bunsei Era (1818–1830). He was also known as Ikeda Eisen, and wrote under the name of Ippitsuan.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Eisen was born in Edo into the Ikeda family, the son of a noted calligrapher. He was apprenticed to Kanō Hakkeisai, from whom he took the name Keisai, and after the death of his father he studied under Kikugawa Eizan. His initial works reflected the influence of his mentor, but he soon developed his own style.

paragraph: He produced a number of "surimono" (prints that were privately issued), erotic prints, and landscapes, including "The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō", which he started and which was completed by Hiroshige. However, his most famous works are the "bijin-ga" (pictures of beautiful women) which portrayed the subjects as more worldly than those depicted by earlier artists, replacing their grace and elegance with a less studied sensuality. He produced many portraits and full-length studies depicting the fashions of the time.

paragraph: In addition to producing a prolific number of prints, he was a writer, producing biographies of the Forty-seven Ronin and several books, including a continuation of the "Ukiyo-e Ruiko" ("History of Prints of the Floating World"), a book which documented the lives of the "ukiyo-e" artists. His supplement is known as "Notes of a Nameless Old Man." He describes himself as a dissolute hard-drinker and claims to have been the owner of a brothel in Nezu in the 1830s which had burned down.

paragraph: Gadadhara Pandita

paragraph: Gadadhara Pandita, also known as Pandita Goswami, was a close associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Gadadhara Pandita Goswami is described as a handsome young boy, student of Nyaya (Indian logic) and ranked highest among the inner circle of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's followers.

paragraph: Pandita Goswami is considered to be Radharani herself. In the later part of his life, Gadadhara Pandita lived in the Tota Gopinatha Temple.. The local legend around the temple is that the deity of Krishna in the temple sat down to accommodate Pandit Goswami's worship after he had become feeble due to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's departure. Others say that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Pandit Goswami disappeared on the same day inside the Gundicha Temple of Puri, Odisha .

paragraph: Section::::The Gadadhara Parivara.

paragraph: Chaitanya Mahaprabhu personally gave Gadadhara Pandita Goswami the deity to worship, and the responsibility to teach Srimad Bhagavatam. Pandita Goswami's guru was Pundarika Vidyanidhi. Pandita Goswami initiated Bhugarbha Goswami, and Bhugarbha Goswami gave rise to one line of the Gadadhara parivara. The Gadadhara Parivāra (Parivāra means 'family') is one among different traditional Chaitanya lineages that have continued till modern times; the Advaita Parivāra is another example.

paragraph: Because Pandita Goswami is Radharani herself, the followers of Pandita Goswami aspire for mādhurya-rasa. The custom of the Gadadhara parivara is to worship the deities of Gaura and Gadadhara.

paragraph: Followers of the Gadadhara parivara are of the opinion that Rupa and Sanatana Goswami, Narottama Dasa Thakura Mahasaya and his guru Loknath Goswami were disciples of Gadadhara Pandita. Others hold that Sanatana Goswami was the disciple of Vidyavacaspati, and Rupa Goswami was the disciple of Sanatana Goswami.

paragraph: In 1891, due to financial difficulties, he returned to Amsterdam and took a position in his father's photography studio. By 1896, he had established himself as an artist and opened his own studio. Many of his works from this period have a sad feeling to them, and it is possible that he was suffering from depression.

paragraph: In 1892 he moved to the artists' colony in Laren. Plein air painting in the company of his fellow artists seems to have cheered him up. His portraits and figures were more colorful and lightly rendered, although his interiors still had a touch of melancholy. After a few years his depression returned

Dante R. Satterfield, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, claims he told Sharpe he'd probably lose playing time as a result of the Titans selecting wide receiver Corey Davis in the first round. The report alleges Sharpe responded by challenging him to a fight in a back alley and was accompanied by Tretola as a lookout. Satterfield claims he was knocked unconscious for 12 hours, suffered a concussion, and facial fractures from the incident and is suing for $500,000 in damages.

paragraph: Marcus Giles

paragraph: Marcus William Giles (born May 18, 1978) is a former Major League Baseball player. He was a second baseman and batted right-handed. His older brother, Brian Giles, was an outfielder who also played in the Major Leagues.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Giles was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 53rd round of the 1996 Major League Baseball draft and made his major league debut in . He hit a grand slam for his first career home run off Mike Hampton of the Colorado Rockies. Despite usually having success during his opportunities in majors, he spent the next two years shuttling between Atlanta and their Triple-A affiliate in Richmond. In , his year was marred by a severe ankle sprain in May, and the death of his premature daughter, Lundyn Mae. Giles lost his second base starting job to the injury and, shortly after returning, was demoted to Richmond. He did not play in Atlanta again until August.

paragraph: In , Giles was given the starting job for good, and proceeded to put up such impressive numbers that he was selected to play in the 2003 All-Star Game. Unfortunately, he suffered a concussion the week prior to the game when Chicago Cubs pitcher Mark Prior collided with him on the basepaths. After missing about a week with the injury, Giles returned to the lineup in top form. He finished the 2003 season with 49 doubles, breaking the Braves record for doubles in a season. Giles had the best range factor among NL second baseman and was third among all NL position players in wins above replacement (as calculated by Baseball Reference).

paragraph: In , Giles was poised to wage a campaign similar to 2003 but, on May 15, 2004, against the Milwaukee Brewers, while drifting way back into center field to catch a pop fly, he collided with center fielder Andruw Jones. Giles suffered a broken collarbone, a concussion, and a bruised right wrist and did not play again until July 15, 2004, missing 52 games.

paragraph: Giles avoided fluke injuries in and was able to again be a consistent contributor for the Braves. He doubled 45 times (second most in the National League), scored a career high 104 runs, and was 16 for 19 in stolen base attempts.

paragraph: With the departure of shortstop Rafael Furcal in late 2005, the Braves moved Giles to the lead-off position in the lineup for the season. By the end of the season, Giles had become vocal in his objections over batting leadoff. His .262 average was his lowest since becoming a starter.

paragraph: Giles was hospitalized in Philadelphia on September 2, 2006, after experiencing pain in his chest and abdomen. On September 3, he was sent back to Atlanta to undergo a cardiovascular test. Giles told the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" that he may have a damaged heart valve. On September 4, however, it was determined that his heart was perfectly healthy, and he was instead diagnosed with acid reflux, which is not as serious. He rejoined the team in New York City that evening.

paragraph: In a cost-cutting measure, and due to a decline of production, the Braves non-tendered Giles on December 12, making him a free agent.

paragraph: He signed a one-year deal with the Padres before the season, but did not live up to expectations and was waived on October 26, 2007.

paragraph: Due to a poor performance in 2007, Giles could not get a major league contract and settled for a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies. However, the Rockies released him before the start of the season. Giles then agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a minor league contract, but had a change of heart on his way to report to the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas and turned down the deal.

paragraph: On January 6, , he signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. He did not make the team, and was released on March 30.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Giles and his ex-wife, Tracy, have 3 daughters.

paragraph: Tabarin

paragraph: Tabarin was the street name assumed by the most famous of the Parisian street charlatans, Anthoine Girard (c. 1584 – August 16, 1633), who amused his audiences in the Place Dauphine by farcical dialogue with his brother Philippe (as Mondor), with whom he reaped a golden harvest by the sale of quack medicines for several years after 1618. Street theatre was popular theatre, on an improvised stage with a curtain backdrop, to the music of a hurdy-gurdy and a set of viols. More formal contemporary performances were confined to the royal court or to the Hotel de Bourgogne, overseen by the medieval guild that had the monopoly of theatrical performances in Paris.

paragraph: A contemporary woodcut shows Tabarin in the dress of a clown, but with a gallant moustache and pointed beard, carrying a wooden sword, like his distant puppet descendant Mr. Punch, — which would trip him up— and wearing a soft grey felt hat capable of assuming countless amusing shapes in his deft fingers. "Tabarin" from French "tabard" denotes a short cloak of the kind the "commedia dell'arte" figure Scaramouche wears.

paragraph: In more elaborate weekly performances others appeared, notably his wife. In these he based his bawdy jokes on the stock situations of "commedia dell'arte" troupes, which were amusing the French court at the time, brought up-to-date for Parisians by running banter of topical allusions and knowing local jokes, based on his original gifts for improvisation. The Girard brothers retired about 1628, purchased a "seigneurie" and lived out their retirement as country gentlemen near Orléans.

paragraph: Numerous farces and dialogues were credited to him, and long series of cheap leaflets purporting to be his complete works began to appear as early as 1622. Stock characters besides Tabarin, with his famous felt hat Le Chapeau de Tabarin that could be rolled into a variety of shapes to aid his characterizations (see "Chapeaugraphy"), were two old men Lucas and Piphagne whose echoes still resound in the "Barber of Seville", and the witty and self-reliant ladies Francisquine and Isabella. A Falstaffian old soldier (based on the "miles gloriosus" of Roman comedy) named Capitaine Rodomonte, gave his name to the "rodomontade" of French theater, an extravagantly inflated and drawn-out tirade of deluded self-confidence, vain threats and invective. Both Molière and La Fontaine, who praised him, were influenced by the Tabarin tradition of coarse quick repartee, and he was also well spoken of, long after he was gone, by Boileau and Voltaire.

paragraph: "Tabarin" became the French eponym of any comic performer of a street booth. It was taken up as a cabaret that was made immortal by a Paul Colin poster which epitomized the 1920s.

paragraph: Psamtik III

paragraph: Psamtik III (also spelled Psammetichus, Psammeticus, or Psammenitus, from Greek Ψαμμήτιχος or Ψαμμήνιτος) was the last Pharaoh of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Egypt from 526 BC to 525 BC. Most of what is known about his reign and life was documented by the Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th century BC. Herodotus states that Psamtik had ruled Egypt for only six months before he was confronted by a Persian invasion of his country led by King Cambyses II of Persia. Psamtik was subsequently defeated at the Battle of Pelusium, and fled to Memphis where he was captured. The deposed pharaoh was carried off to Susa in chains, and later committed suicide.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Psamtik III was the son of the pharaoh Amasis II and one of his wives, Queen Tentkheta. He succeeded his father as pharaoh in 526 BC, when Amasis died after a long and prosperous reign of some 44 years. According to Herodotus, he had a son named Amasis and a wife and daughter, both unnamed in historical documents.

paragraph: Section::::Defeat and imprisonment.

paragraph: Psamtik ruled Egypt for no more than six months. A few days after his coronation, rain fell at Thebes, which was a rare event that frightened some Egyptians, who interpreted this as a bad omen. The young and inexperienced pharaoh was no match for the invading Persians. After the Persians under Cambyses had crossed the Sinai desert with the aid of the Arabians, a bitter battle was fought near Pelusium, a city on Egypt's eastern frontier, in the spring of 525 BC. The Egyptians were defeated at Pelusium and Psamtik was betrayed by one of his allies, Phanes of Halicarnassus. Consequently, Psamtik and his army were compelled to withdraw to Memphis. The Persians captured the city after a long siege, and captured Psamtik after its fall. Shortly thereafter, Cambyses ordered the public execution of two thousand of the principal citizens, including (it is said) a son of the fallen king.

paragraph: Section::::Captivity and execution.

paragraph: Psamtik's captivity and subsequent execution are described in "The Histories" by Herodotus, Book III, sections 14 and 15. Psamtik's daughter and the daughters of all the Egyptian noblemen were enslaved. Psamtik's son and two thousand other sons of noblemen were sentenced to death, in retaliation for the murder of the Persian ambassador and the two hundred crew of his boat. An "old man who had once been the king's friend" was reduced to beggary. All these people were brought before Psamtik to test his reaction, and he only became upset after seeing the state of the beggar.

paragraph: Psamtik's compassion for the beggar caused him to be spared, but his son had already been executed. The deposed pharaoh was then raised up to live in the entourage of the Persian King. After a while, however, Psamtik attempted to raise a rebellion among the Egyptians. When Cambyses learned of this, Psamtik is reported by Herodotus to have drunk bull's blood and immediately died.

paragraph: Albertus Pictor

paragraph: Albertus Pictor (English, "Albert the Painter"; Immenhusen, c. 1440 – c. 1507), also called Albert Pictor, Albert Målare and Albrekt Pärlstickare (Swedish), is the most famous late medieval Swedish painter, known for his wallpaintings surviving in numerous churches in southern and central Sweden. Celebrations for the quincentenary of his death were arranged for 2009.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Albertus was originally called "Albertus Immenhusen", after the German town of Immenhausen in Hessen of which he was a native. He occurs in Swedish historical sources from 1465, when he was admitted a burgher of Arboga. Eight years later he moved to Stockholm, where, in accordance with current practice, he took over the workshop as well as the widow of a deceased painter.

paragraph: He was a versatile and prolific artist, known to his contemporaries not only for his church wallpaintings, but also as an organist and embroiderer (hence his nickname of "Pärlstickare", "Pearl-embroiderer"). More than thirty of his schemes, mostly in a secco technique, are extant, many in the Lake Mälaren region, about a third of which bear his signature. Notable examples include wallpaintings at Bromma kyrka, near Stockholm, Lid kyrka, in Södermanland and Täby Kyrkby kyrka in Täby. Part of his life and work are depicted in the illustrated book, ""Albert målare och sommaren i Härkeberga"" ("Albert the Painter and the summer in Härkeberga"), which describes his painting of the small church of Härkeberga in Uppland (see below).

paragraph: Section::::Influence.

paragraph: Albertus's illustration of Death playing chess from Täby kyrka inspired the famous scene in Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film "The Seventh Seal" in which a knight (Antonius Block) plays chess with personified Death. Albertus Pictor himself appears as a character in the film (played by Gunnar Olsson), in a dialog with Jöns, Antonius Block's squire, while working on a church mural.

paragraph: Section::::Churches with wall paintings by or attributed to Albertus Pictor.

paragraph: Albertus Pictor's paintings are considered preserved in 37 churches. Nine of the painting are either signed with some variant of Albertus name or the signing documented was destroyed. Other paintings ascribed to Albertus Pictor are based on attributes made by experts on the subject. Attenuation on stylistic grounds based on comparisons to those of the churches that have secure signings is difficult to determine especially when it concerns the making of the works.

paragraph: The ornamentation has traditionally been important for the attribution, it is, however, in greater part in the public domain and is more general in its expression and easier to copy than figure painting. A lot of them are also strong influenced by over-liming and production with subsequent restoration. Albertus Pictor's painting, however, differ so much from contemporary Swedish painters that they usually can not be attributed to the author. It is conceivable that in some cases they rather have strong influences.

paragraph: Isaac Harby

paragraph: Isaac Harby (1788-1828), from Charleston, South Carolina, was an early 19th-century teacher, playwright, literary critic, journalist, newspaper editor, and advocate of reforms in Judaism. His ideas were some of the precedents behind the development of Reform Judaism.

paragraph: Harby came from a Sephardic Jewish family. He and some associates created a new synagogue in the 1820s because they felt the existing Sephardic ritual was too hard to understand. The words were spoken in a language that few Jews at the time understood, and all associated with their pain in the Sephardi Diaspora. The words were spoken too quickly to understand even if the language was known.

paragraph: "We wish to worship God, not as slaves of bigotry and priestcraft but as the enlightened descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

paragraph: Toriyama Sekien

paragraph: Section::::Art career.

paragraph: After retiring from service to the shogunate, he became a teacher to numerous apprentices in poetry and painting. He was among the first to apply Kanō techniques to "ukiyo-e" printmaking, inventing key new techniques along the way, such as "fuki-bokashi", which allowed for replicating color gradations. Most famously, he was the teacher of Kitagawa Utamaro and Utagawa Toyoharu.

paragraph: Sekien is best known for his mass-produced illustrated books of yōkai that had appeared in "Hyakki Yagyō" monster parade scrolls. The first book proved popular enough to spawn three sequels, the last of which features yōkai mainly out of Sekien's imagination. Although sometimes described as a "demonologist," his work is better described as a literary parody of encyclopedias such as the Japanese "Wakan Sansai Zue" or the Chinese "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which were popular in Japan at the time. His portrayals of these creatures from folklore essentially established their visual portrayals in the public's mind and deeply inspired other Japanese artists in his own and later eras, including ukiyo-e artists Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Kawanabe Kyōsai, and manga artist Mizuki Shigeru.

He was a minor when he succeeded his father, Henry III, as count so ruled initially under the regency of his uncles, John of Puisaye, Theobald, Bishop of Liège, and Renaud, Bishop of Metz (his mother Eleanor had been dead since 1298).

paragraph: In 1308, he accompanied Frederick IV of Lorraine into battle. In 1310, he married Mary, daughter of Robert II, Duke of Burgundy, and was declared to have attained his majority. Then he purchased the lordship of Stenay from his uncle John, the aforementioned lord of Puisaye. In 1313, he was captured in war against Frederick and not ransomed until 1314. He constructed a hydraulic forge at Moyeuvre-Grande in 1323. In 1324, he was again allied in military operations with the duke of Lorraine, and also with the King of Bohemia, John, and the Archbishop of Trier, Baldwin of Luxembourg. This operations was the War of Metz, for each of the allied lords was owed something by the citizens of Metz. Edward demanded compensation for garrisoning the city with his own troops during a conflict with the bishop of Verdun.

paragraph: Section::::Rebellion.

paragraph: On 30 June 1855, two Santal rebel leaders, Sidhu Murmu and Kanhu Murmu (related as brother) along with Chand and Bairab, mobilized about 10,000 Santals and declared a rebellion against British colonists. The Santals initially gained some success but soon the British found out a new way to tackle these rebels. Instead, they forced them to come out of the forest. In a conclusive battle which followed, the British, equipped with modern firearms and war elephants, stationed themselves at the foot of the hill. When the battle began, the British officer ordered his troops to fire without loading bullets. The Santals, who did not suspect this trap set by the British war strategy, charged with full potential. This step proved to be disastrous for them. As soon as they neared the foot of the hill, the British army attacked with full power and this time they were using bullets. Although the revolution was suppressed, it marked a great change in the colonial rule and policy. The day is still celebrated among the Santal community.

paragraph: She was the second child and daughter of Queen Joan II of Navarre and King Philip III of Navarre. She belonged to the House of Évreux, a cadet branch of the House of Capet, and married into the House of Valois, another cadet branch of the House of Capet.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: At first, the Kings of Navarre wanted to achieve an alliance with Castile by having Blanche marry Peter, eldest son and heir of King Alfonso XI. However, Blanche was eventually betrothed to John, heir apparent to the throne of France. As the most beautiful princess of her time — she was nicknamed the "Beautiful Wisdom" ("Belle Sagesse")— Blanche captivated the recently widowed King Philip VI of France, father of her intended husband and almost forty years her senior. Their marriage on 29 January 1350 at Brie-Comte-Robert alienated his son and many nobles from the king.

paragraph: The union was short-lived: King Philip VI died seven months later, on 22 August 1350, according to some chroniclers of exhaustion from constantly fulfilling his conjugal duties. Pregnant at that time, Blanche gave birth to a daughter, Joan (also named Blanche), in May 1351. After her husband's death, the dowager queen retired to Neaufles-Saint-Martin near Gisors in Normandy. Soon after, the now King Peter I of Castile asked her hand in marriage, but she refused the offer, saying: "The queens of France never remarry" ("Les reines de France ne se remarient point"). She appeared in the French court on rare occasions, especially during the solemn entry of Isabeau of Bavaria in Paris, which was organized by her. Blanche also played a political role as a mediator between her brother King Charles II of Navarre and France.

paragraph: In 1371, her only daughter Joan was engaged with John, eldest son and heir of King Peter IV of Aragon; however, she died during the journey to Aragon for her marriage on 16 September 1371 in Béziers.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Blanche died on 5 October 1398 at Neaufles-Saint-Martin. She is buried next to her daughter in the Basilica of St Denis, the necropolis of the Kings of France, north of Paris.
