paragraph: Edmund Bojanowski

paragraph: Blessed Edmund Bojanowski (14 November 1814 - 7 August 1871) was a Polish Roman Catholic and the founder of four separate religious congregations. He studied art and literature during his education in Breslau and Berlin before distinguishing himself during a cholera epidemic in which he tended to the ill. Bojanowski founded several orphanages and libraries for the poor and even worked in them to provide for those people. But his main desire was to enter the priesthood: ill health blocked this once and his own death prevented his second attempt after his deteriorating health forced him to stop his ecclesial studies.

paragraph: His beatification cause opened decades after his death and culminated on 13 June 1999 after Pope John Paul II beatified him in Warsaw on the occasion of his apostolic visit to the nation.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Edmund Bojanowski was born in Poland on 14 November 1814 to the nobles (szlachta) Walentego Bojanowski and Teresa Umińska. Both his parents were devout in their faith which proved a critical influence on his deep religious convictions formed from childhood.

paragraph: In 1819 he became ill and appeared to die but seemed to return to life a short while later despite doctors declaring that there were slim chances the child would recover. His parents considered this a form of miraculous healing based on their constant petitions for intercession from above. It was upon his recuperation that the child vowed to dedicate his life to the Blessed Mother. Bojanowski continued to suffer ill health throughout his lifetime and it was due to this that he could not attend school and had to be tutored at home. In 1835 he developed tuberculosis during the course of his education. He later continued his studies at the Breslau college (1832-35; where he studied art and literature) and also at the college in Berlin (1836-38; studied art and music but did not complete his philosophical studies). But Bojanowski was far too frail at this time to join the priesthood; this was a vocation that he would attempt again later in life.

paragraph: Bojanowski also translated works from Serbian to Polish during this time. The current period proved one of cultural change and exploration to which he himself contributed through the publication of a historical account of Serbia as well as a contribution of his own poems. He was known to spend hours in Eucharistic adoration and often meditated on Sacred Scripture. He made his Confession once a week and made annual retreats in order to undergo the Spiritual Exercises.

paragraph: His interest in people led him to collect stories as well as songs and proverbs from the rural areas and publish them in "The Friend of the People". Bojanowski also became involved in providing books for schools as well as establishing new libraries and creating orphanages for poor children. During the cholera epidemic during the period 1848-49 he tended to the sick while helping to medicate and comfort them. Due to the rampant sickness he saw around him he helped organize a new hospital ("Dom Miłosierdzia"). He helped to fund hospices and orphanages.

paragraph: He deemed service to the poor as an important task and due to this was able to found a religious order of nuns known as called the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mother of God. This later led to the creation of separate religious orders in Poznań as well as other cities such as Wrocław. In 1867 he authorized the founding of the Congregation of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God which Mother Magdalen of the Sacred Heart led in England.

paragraph: Bojanowski later decided to attempt an education for the priesthood once more in 1869 in Gniezno; but his health continued to deteriorate to the point where he later died 7 August 1871 in Górka Duchowna without becoming ordained as a priest as he had wished for.

paragraph: Section::::Religious orders.

paragraph: Bojanowski either founded or co-founded four separate religious congregations:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sisters Servants of the Holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary

paragraph: BULLET::::- Little Servant Sisters of the Immaculate Conception

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sisters Servants of the Mother of God

paragraph: Section::::Beatification.

paragraph: The beatification process opened in Poznań some decades after his death and was closed at a solemn Mass that Archbishop Antoni Baraniak led on 24 October 1960. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted their validation to this diocesan investigation on 8 March 1991 prior to receiving the Positio dossier for additional assessment later in 1996. Historians advising the C.C.S. confirmed their approval to the cause on 22 October 1996 as did the congress of theologians on 16 December 1997. The C.C.S. members also voiced their approval some months later on 21 April 1998. Pope John Paul II declared Bojanowski as Venerable on 3 July 1998 after confirming his heroic virtue.

paragraph: Bojanowski was beatified following papal recognition of a miracle (a healing) attributed to his intercession. The investigation into the alleged miracle took place in the diocese of its origin prior to that investigation receiving the needed validation from the C.C.S. on 15 October 1993. Medical experts confirmed the miraculous nature of the healing on 4 June 1998 as did theologians months later on 9 October and the C.C.S. members later that 15 December. John Paul II granted final approval for the miracle less than a week later on 21 December.

paragraph: John Paul II beatified Bojanowski in Warsaw on 13 June 1999 during his apostolic visit to Poland. The pope - during the beatification itself - referred to Bojanowski as a "good man with a big heart" who became an "exceptional example of generous and industrious work for man".

paragraph: Felix Braun

paragraph: Felix Braun (4 November 1885, Vienna – 29 November 1973, Klosterneuburg, Lower Austria) was an Austrian writer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Braun was born in Vienna to a Jewish family. His mother died in 1888 during the birth of his sister, Käthe, who would also become a famous writer. In 1904, he enrolled in German studies, as well as art history, at the University of Vienna, and took his doctorate four years later. His literary publications began to appear in 1905 in the "Neue Freie Presse", the "Österreichische Rundschau", and in "Die neue Rundschau". He was appointed arts editor of the Berliner "National-Zeitung" in 1910.

paragraph: In 1912, Braun married Hedwig Freund, but the couple would divorce in 1915. While working as an editor at Verlag Georg Müller in Munich, he made the acquaintance of a number of important writers, among whom were Hans Carossa, Thomas Mann, and Rainer Maria Rilke. From 1928 to 1938, he was a Privatdozent in German literature at Palermo and Padua. He converted from Judaism to Catholicism in 1935. To escape persecution by the Nazis, who banned his work, he immigrated in 1939 to the United Kingdom and remained there until 1951, teaching literature and art history. After returning to Austria, Braun lectured at the Max Reinhardt Seminar and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Braun died in 1973 and was honored with a burial in the Zentralfriedhof of Vienna. In 1977, a lane in Vienna was named after him.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: At the beginning of the 20th century, Braun belonged to the movement known as Young Vienna, where he found the company of such innovative writers as Stefan Zweig, Anton Wildgans, and Max Brod. Braun was a Neo-Romantic, who wrote refined, cultivated poetry in multiple forms. His work centered around the themes of religion, classical antiquity, and his Austrian homeland. Braun also served as secretary to the great Austrian writer Hugo von Hofmannsthal and formed a close friendship with his employer.

paragraph: Braun edited and published a highly respected anthology of German lyric poetry, called "Der Tausendjährige Rosenstrauch" ("The Thousand-Year Rose Bush"), in 1937. It has been reissued in numerous editions and remains one of the most popular collections of its kind. He also translated the work of Thomas à Kempis and John of the Cross.

paragraph: Malak Karsh

paragraph: Malak Karsh, MPA. (March 1, 1915 – November 8, 2001) was a Canadian photographer of Armenian heritage best known for his photographs of Canada and the Ottawa region.

paragraph: Born in Mardin, Ottoman Empire, a few months before the Armenian Genocide, he emigrated to Canada in 1937 and began a career in photography with the help of his brother Yousuf Karsh, and his uncle George Nakash, both accomplished photographers. Malak Karsh was one of Canada's most renowned photographers. He had many photographic exhibitions including exhibitions at the National Arts Centre, the Museums of Nature and History, the Ottawa Congress Centre, in Holland and other countries. His awards included the Order of Canada, the Keys to the City of Ottawa, the Whitton Award, the Professional Photographers of Canada's award as a Master of the Photographs Arts, the CAPIC Lifetime Achievement Award, Photographer of the Year, and the National Film Board of Canada's Gold Medal.

paragraph: In 1952 Malak's fascination with Canada's Capital and the tulips that graced the city following Queen Juliana's gift of 100,000 tulip bulbs inspired Malak's to conceive of an annual tulip festival in Ottawa and working with the Ottawa Board of Trade it was established in 1952. According to Ottawa mayor Bob Chiarelli, "He helped put Ottawa on the map. Probably the biggest and best brand for Ottawa was his tulips." Malak was the honorary president of the festival at the time of his death.

paragraph: In 1963, he took a picture of the floating logs on the Ottawa River, called "Paper and Politics", which was put on the back of the 1969-1979 Scenes of Canada series Canadian $1 bill.

paragraph: Library and Archives Canada have approximately 400,000 photographic images acquired in 1985 and 2015 from Malak's vast library of transparencies, negatives and prints. The images, captured between 1940 and 2001, include many colour photographs of Parliament Hill and the tulip festival, along with landscapes of Canada from sea to sea to sea. Other images feature Canadians at work in agriculture, forestry, industry and the arts.

paragraph: Herodicus () was a Greek physician of the 5th century BC, a native of Selymbria. The first use of therapeutic exercise for the treatment of disease and maintenance of health is credited to him, and he is believed to have been one of the tutors of Hippocrates. He also recommended good diet and massage using beneficial herbs and oils, and his theories are considered the foundation of sports medicine. He was specific in the manner that a massage should be given. He recommended that rubbing be initially slow and gentle, then subsequently faster, with the application of more pressure, which was to be followed by more gentle friction.

paragraph: Herodicus is also described as a gymnastic-master (παιδοτρίβης) and a sophist. According to Plato, Herodicus recommended that his patients walk from Athens to Megara, a distance of a little more than 20 miles.

paragraph: Jules Schmalzigaug

paragraph: Jules Schmalzigaug (1882 or 1883 in Antwerp – 13 May 1917 in The Hague) was a Belgian futurist painter.

paragraph: Section::::His Life and Art.

paragraph: His well-to-do family came from Germany and lived in Antwerp. Schmalzigaug travelled a lot since he was 16. In 1905–1906 he made a grand tour of Italy, where he was especially impressed and influenced by Venice.

paragraph: Returning to Antwerp he became a secretary to the art society of Kunst van Heden/L'Art Contemporain, and worked on the organisation of international exhibitions. Between 1910 and 1912 he lived mainly in Paris. There he had the opportunity to see the exhibition of Italian futurists in 1912 and decided to move to Italy under the impressions of it.

paragraph: His time in Italy between 1912 and 1914 was the happiest and most active part of his life and art. In 1914 he took part on the international exhibition of futurists in Rome. His style developed towards the abstract.

paragraph: In 1914 he returned to Antwerp. He was declared unfit for military service on health grounds. After the start of World War I he moved to The Hague in neutral Netherlands.

paragraph: He felt lonely in the isolated country, he longed after the sunny Venice and the whirring international life of artists.

paragraph: In his art he returned to the figurative painting, but his works from this period did not reach the previous level. He fell into depression and committed suicide.

paragraph: Michael Palmer British art historian has written about him, that Schmalzigaug has not received great acknowledgement in his life neither in Belgium, nor internationally, but in spite of this he belonged to the most original and most talented modern Belgian artists of his time.

paragraph: His works can be seen in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, and the in Ostend.

paragraph: Andrew Bloxam

paragraph: Andrew Bloxam (22 September 1801 – 2 February 1878) was an English clergyman and naturalist; in his later life he had a particular interest in botany. He was the naturalist on board during its voyage around South America and the Pacific in 1824–26, where he collected mainly birds. Later as a Church of England minister he lived in Warwickshire and Leicestershire and made significant contributions to the study of the natural history of the area. His special interest was in fungi and the genera "Rubus" and "Rosa". His botanical author abbreviation is "A.Bloxam".

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Andrew Bloxam was born at Rugby, Warwickshire, on 22 September 1801. He was the fourth son of Rev. Richard Rouse Bloxam, who was a schoolmaster at Rugby School, and Ann(e) Lawrence, who was the sister of the painter Sir Thomas Lawrence. He was educated at Rugby School from 1809 and Worcester College, Oxford from 1820. His brothers included Matthew Bloxam and John Rouse Bloxam.

paragraph: In the autumn of 1824, he was appointed as a naturalist on board , commanded by Capt. Lord Byron, cousin of the poet George Gordon Byron. His brother, R. Rowland Bloxam (1798–1877), was the chaplain. The voyage lasted over 18 months, during which time he visited South America and various islands of the Pacific, including the Galápagos Islands and the Hawaiian Islands (then called the Sandwich Islands). Most of Bloxam's collections during the voyage eventually found their way to the British Museum.

paragraph: After returning from the voyage on 15 March 1826, he was ordained on 25 June 1826 (Trinity Sunday) as a Church of England minister. He spent some time in Leicestershire and as a curate in Atherstone, before he became the Vicar of Twycross ( 1840). He remained there until c. 1872, when he was made Vicar of Radford Semele and shortly afterwards Rector of Harborough Magna, where he died on 2 February 1878. He was married to Ann(e) Roby.

paragraph: Section::::Voyage of the "Blonde".

paragraph: The main purpose of the voyage was to return to the Kingdom of Hawaii the bodies of King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamamalu who had died of measles while visiting England. Andrew Bloxam was appointed as a naturalist; his brother Rowland Bloxam was the chaplain. The Royal Horticultural Society sent the Scottish botanist James Macrae, whose MS diary was edited by William Wilson and published in 1922.

paragraph: Section::::Voyage of the "Blonde".:Itinerary.

paragraph: The ship left Spithead, England on 28 September 1824. Following a call at Madeira, they reached Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 27 November 1824. After spending time both in Rio de Janeiro and St Catherine's, they left Brazil on 1 January 1825, bound for Valparaíso, Chile, which they reached on 4 February 1825. They sailed north up the coast to reach Callao, Peru, on 16 March 1825, before sailing west to the Galapagos Islands, where they remained from 25 March to 3 April 1825. The "Blonde" arrived in the Hawaiian Islands (then known as the Sandwich Islands) on 4 May 1825.

paragraph: The party remained in the Hawaiian Islands from 4 May to 18 July 1825. They left planning to go to Tahiti, but actually landed first at Malden Island on 30 July 1825 and then at Mauke in the Cook Islands on 8 August 1825, before returning to Valparaíso, which they reached on 6 September 1825. After spending some time exploring the coast of Chile, they finally left Valparaíso on 13 October 1825, bound for St Helena in the South Atlantic, which they reached on 23 January 1826, leaving five days later. The voyage ended back in Spithead, England on 15 March 1826, after an absence of 532 days.

paragraph: Section::::Voyage of the "Blonde".:Bloxam's contribution as a naturalist.

paragraph: Although in later life, Bloxam was a noted mycologist and botanist and named c. 20 species of fungi and plants (see below), his contributions during the voyage were mainly to ornithology. At the time of the voyage of the "Blonde", he was young and inexperienced. According to Macrae's diary (as edited by Wilson), "Andrew Bloxom [sic] acted as a sort of amateur naturalist on the "Blonde""; the diary contains other disparaging remarks about Bloxam. Maria Graham (later Maria Callcott) took a somewhat different view: "For the few notices concerning natural history which the work [i.e. her book] contains, it is chiefly indebted to the zealous attention of Mr. A. Bloxam [..] who, if not a learned naturalist, deserves the praise of a diligent and sensible collector." She is in turn critical of Macrae, saying that she regretted that "the practised collector of botanical specimens who went in the "Blonde" to the Sandwich Islands should not have furnished any account of the plants [..] which he collected."

paragraph: For a long time the only published record of Bloxam's naturalising during the voyage was a very short section in Graham's book. Only in 1925 was his diary published. Between 1986 and 1996, Olson published detailed studies of Bloxam's ornithological work in the Hawaiian Islands, based on both the diary and unpublished notebooks. Although Olson echoes criticisms of Bloxam ("the ship's callow, humble, and none too ardent naturalist"), he also says that those descriptions which Bloxam did produce are of "commendable accuracy" and that the methods he used to prepare specimens ensured that they survived in "remarkably good condition".

paragraph: Having been appointed by the Admiralty, on his return Bloxam had written to thank them and to give an account of the specimens he had collected. A barrel contained geological and mineralogical specimens, along with insects, shells and other marine objects from South America and the Pacific islands visited by the "Blonde". Two cases contained "about one hundred" specimens of birds. Of these, 27 specimens of 11 species were from the Hawaiian Islands.

paragraph: One of Bloxam's most well-known bird collections was the Oahu thrush, which he originally called "Turdus woahensis" (now "Myadestes lanaiensis woahensis"). Bloxam's 1825 specimens are the only ones in existence, since this rather dull olive-brown thrush-like bird was the first bird species in the Hawaiian islands to become extinct. Bloxam recorded that it was common and that its "melodious notes" came from the only songster on the island of Oahu. Another of his scientific discoveries was the Oahu ʻakepa, which he named "Fringilla rufa" (now "Loxops wolstenholmei" or "L. coccineus wolstenholmei"). This bird too is now extinct.

paragraph: Bloxam also noticed that the Hawaiian nectar-feeding birds were different from both humming birds and the genus with which they were then associated, "Certhia" (creepers). He put them into a new genus "Nectarina" and wrote that in their flight they resembled finches. It was some 150 years later that it was accepted that the Hawaiian honeycreepers (now in several different genera) had evolved from cardueline finches.

paragraph: In 1995, Olson named the greater Patagonian conure after Bloxam ("Cyanoliseus patagonus bloxami"). Bloxam collected a specimen in 1825 near Concepcion, Chile.

paragraph: Section::::Contributions to English Natural History.

paragraph: Bloxam does not appear to have maintained a serious interest in ornithology once he had taken up his various clerical posts in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. During the major part of his life in the English Midlands, he combined his duties to his parishes with botanical research and collecting. In his early days in Leicestershire, he became friends with Churchill Babington, a fellow clergyman who was originally from Leicestershire and who was already an "ardent and promising botanist" according to their younger contemporary James Bagnall. Bloxam worked with Babington on the flowering plants of Charnwood Forest. He supplied Hewett C. Watson with copies of the "London Catalogue of British Plants" marked up with plants seen within three miles of Atherstone and of Twycross; this information was incorporated into Watson's "Topographical Botany" (1873–74). Bloxam was a major contributor to the first "Flora of Leicestershire" whose author, Mary Kirby, wrote that the Flora "would never have been attempted without [his] encouragement and invaluable assistance" and that "[s]pecimens of every doubtful plant have been submitted to [him]".

paragraph: Bloxam had a particular interest in brambles (genus "Rubus", particularly section "Rubus") and roses (genus "Rosa"). According to Bagnall, Bloxam was one of the earliest English students of these genera, and from 1840 onwards issued 'fasciculi' (i.e. separate sections intended eventually to form a book), which were of great value to beginners who wished to study these plants. Bloxam gave scientific names to at least six species of "Rubus", including "Rubus colemannii", named after W.H. Coleman, another Midlands clergyman with an interest in natural history. Andrew Bloxam has specimens including a fascicle of "Rubus" in the Charterhouse School Herbarium which is housed at the University & Jepson Herbaria, University of California, Berkeley.

paragraph: In 1875, not long before he died, Bloxam was visited by Bagnall, who later wrote that Bloxam was "still full of love for botanical pursuits, with quite a host of brambles and roses cultivated in his garden, so that he might watch them more readily, and I shall always remember with pleasure my walk with him in the lanes around his village, where he pointed out the various special Rubi and Roses of that locality."

paragraph: Bloxam was also interested in fungi. He was associated with M.J. Berkeley, another clergyman from the English Midlands, who has been called the founder of British mycology. In 1854, Berkeley and his co-worker Broome gave a fungal genus the name "Bloxamia" in honour of Bloxam's work on the group of fungi then called the "Sphaeriacei"; they also named after him "Agaricus bloxamii" (now called Bloxam's Entoloma, "Entoloma bloxamii"). Bloxam gave new scientific names to at least 11 species of fungi in the "Index Fungorum", including the Toasted Waxcap, now "Hygrocybe colemanniana".

paragraph: Reinier van Persijn (1615 – 23 November 1668) was a Dutch Golden Age engraver of portraits and bookplates.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: According to Houbraken, who called him "Reynier van Parzyn", he was married to the granddaughter of the stained glass painter Wouter Crabeth I, whose son Wouter Crabeth II he probably knew from his time in Rome, where they were both members of the Bentvueghels.

paragraph: His "bent" or nickname was "Narcissus" (Daffodil). He settled in 1645 in Gouda, where his wife was born.

paragraph: He was a student of Cornelis Bloemaert and learned the art of publishing book title pages from Theodor Matham, son of Jacob Matham. According to an old Dutch "Who's Who", while in Italy he engraved pieces from "the Justiani gallery", made a famous engraving of Baldassare Castiglione and had a motto, "Het moet al in een pers zijn", meaning "It must already be in print", which was a play on words, because Pers-zijn was his name.

paragraph: Robert II (September 1250 – 11 July 1302) was the Count of Artois, the posthumous son and heir of Robert I and Matilda of Brabant. He was a nephew of Louis IX of France. He died at the Battle of the Golden Spurs.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: An experienced soldier, he took part in the Aragonese Crusade and attempted an invasion of Sicily in 1287. In 1288 Robert began work on a great park at Hesdin. The park contained a menagerie, aviaries, fishponds, orchards, an enclosed garden and facilities for tournaments. It also contained mechanical statues including waving monkeys draped in skins.

paragraph: He defeated the Flemings in 1297 at the Battle of Furnes. He was again sent into Flanders in July 1302, where he began to ravage the countryside and attempted to take the town of Kortrijk (Courtrai).

paragraph: Section::::Battle of the Golden Spurs.

paragraph: He then met the Flemish army at the Battle of the Golden Spurs. His infantry advanced with great success against the Flemings (mostly city militia), but he ordered their recall to allow his cavalry to make the final, victorious charge. But on the broken, marshy ground, his knights were unable to gain enough momentum to break the Flemish shieldwall, and they were knocked down and slaughtered. Robert led some of the reserves in a second charge in an attempt to reverse their fortunes. Artois was unhorsed by Willem van Saeftinghe. He and his troops were cut down by the Flemish infantry.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In 1262 in Paris Robert married Amicie de Courtenay (1250–1275), daughter of , Seigneur de Conches, a great-grandson of Louis VI, and Perronelle de Joigny. They had three children:

paragraph: Leon C. Phillips

paragraph: Leon Chase "Red" Phillips (December 9, 1890 – March 27, 1958) was an American attorney, a state legislator and the 11th governor of Oklahoma. As a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and as Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, Phillips made a name for himself as an obstructionist of the proposals of governors William H. Murray and E.W. Marland, including components of the New Deal. As governor, Phillips pushed for deep cuts, but was unable to avoid an unbalanced budget.

paragraph: After retiring from politics, he worked as an attorney before his death from a heart attack. He is buried in Weleetka, Oklahoma.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Phillips was born to Rufus Putnam and Bertha Violet (Bressler) Phillips in Worth County, Missouri, and moved to Foss in Custer County, Oklahoma at an early age. While a student at Epworth University in Oklahoma City, he studied for the ministry, but changed to law and received his LL.B. from the University of Oklahoma in 1916. He married Myrtle Ellenberger of Norman, Oklahoma, on June 19, 1916, and they had two children.

paragraph: Phillips was admitted to the State Bar in that year and to practice before the United States Supreme Court later. After service in World War I, as a private in the US Army, he returned to Okemah, where he practiced law.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Elected three times to the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1933 to 1938, he served as Speaker of the House in 1935. He led opposition to proposals from governors William H. Murray and E.W. Marland, the latter of which helped him attain his seat as Speaker.

paragraph: Phillips ran against Ross Rizley in the gubernatorial general election. He was elected Governor of Oklahoma in 1938, and served from January 9, 1939, to January 11, 1943.

paragraph: During his governorship, Phillips was charged with accepting a bribe, was tried twice, but was eventually acquitted. Phillips was the first state representative to be elected as Governor of Oklahoma and his term was marked by his proposals to trim the state budget. Despite deep cuts, the budget produced by the 17th Oklahoma Legislature was not balanced; it was the last budget not subject to constitutional requirements to balance the budget approved by voters in 1941. Phillips was responsible for the constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget of the Oklahoma Legislature.

paragraph: Phillips considered the New Deal to be federal interference in the state and was an obstructionist.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After he retired from the office of Governor, Phillips returned to his farm near Okemah, Oklahoma, and continued to practice law until his death. He died, of a heart attack, while waiting for a client at the post office in Okmulgee on March 27, 1958.

paragraph: Theodor Pallady

paragraph: Theodor Pallady (; 11 April 1871 – 16 August 1956) was a Romanian painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Pallady was born in Iaşi, but at a young age, his family sent him to Dresden, where he studied engineering at the Dresden University of Technology between 1887 and 1889. At the same time, he studied art with Erwin Oehme, who, recognising his artistic intuition, suggested that he go to Paris. In Paris, Pallady worked in the studio of Aman Jean and enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts ("Académie des Beaux-Arts"). In 1892, he worked in the studio of Gustave Moreau, where he had as colleagues Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, and Albert Marquet.

paragraph: In 1904, Pallady returned to Romania, where he held an exhibition at the Romanian Athenaeum. However, he maintained close connections with Paris, where he continued to hold many personal exhibitions, up until World War II. Pallady never lost the contact with Romania and had friends from the community of Romanian artists and intellectuals living in Paris, including Benjamin Fondane, George Enescu, Constantin Brâncuși, Camil Ressu, Nicolae Dărăscu, Panait Istrati, Traian Vuia, Eugène Ionesco, Emil Cioran and Paul Celan. Theodor Pallady bought Brâncuși sculpture "The first Kiss", this work is a little kiss (7.8" × 1.18" × 1.57") pink marble, and the first work of modern art. This sculpture is dated 1905 and was brought it with him to Romanian. He also exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1924, 1940 and 1942.

paragraph: He died in Bucharest, and is buried in Bellu cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Theodor Pallady Museum in Bucharest, a branch of the National Museum of Art of Romania, has only six of Pallady's paintings; it is housed in Bucharest's oldest private lodging. Other works of Pallady's are features of the National Museum's main collection, at Bucharest's Zambaccian Museum, the Palace of Culture in Iaşi, the Argeş County Museum in Piteşti, and the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu. There are also paintings by this painter at the Craiova Art Museum in Craiova, Romania.

paragraph: Feliks Brzozowski (1836 in Warsaw – 1892 in Warsaw) was a Polish painter and illustrator.

paragraph: In the years of 1852–1859, Feliks studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw under the guidance of Chrystian Breslauer. He mainly painted landscape art, predominantly in the forest motif. During his travels around Poland, his landscape artwork centred around the localities of Ojców and the Tatra mountains, as well as castles. Feliks Brzozowski's travels abroad (to Crimea and the Alps) have not featured in his artwork. The artwork that the artist did create, he sent to the Society of Friends of Fine Arts in Kraków, while in Warsaw, many of his works featured in Krywult's Saloon and since its founding, the Society of the Encouragement of Fine Arts. Since 1865, he published his work in Warsaw's news journals (Tygodnik Ilustrowany, Biesiada Literacka and Kłosy).

paragraph: Arnett Cobb

paragraph: Arnett Cleophus Cobb (August 10, 1918 – March 24, 1989) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, sometimes known as the "Wild Man of the Tenor Sax" because of his uninhibited stomping style. Cobb wrote the words and music for the jazz standard "Smooth Sailing" (1951), which Ella Fitzgerald recorded for Decca on her album "Lullabies of Birdland".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Houston, Texas, he was taught to play piano by his grandmother, and he went on to study violin before taking up tenor saxophone in the high school band. At the age of 15 he joined Louisiana bandleader Frank Davis's band, doing shows in Houston and throughout Louisiana during the summer. Cobb continued his musical career with the local bands of trumpeter Chester Boone, from 1934 to 1936, and Milt Larkin, from 1936 to 1942 (which included a period on the West Coast with Floyd Ray). Among his bandmates in the Larkin band were Illinois Jacquet, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Tom Archia, Cedric Haywood, and Wild Bill Davis. Having turned down an offer from Count Basie in 1939, Cobb replaced Jacquet in Lionel Hampton's band in 1942, staying with Hampton until 1947. Cobb's featured solo on Hampton's theme song "Flying Home No. 2" generated much excitement, his blasting style earning him the label "Wild Man of the Tenor Sax".

paragraph: Cobb then started his own seven-piece band, but suffered a serious illness in 1950, which necessitated spinal surgery. Although he re-formed the band on his recovery, in 1956 its success was again interrupted, this time by a car crash. This had long-term effects on his health, involving periods in the hospital, and making him permanently reliant on crutches. Nevertheless, Cobb worked as a soloist through the 1970s and 1980s in the U.S. and abroad. As late as 1988 he played with Jimmy Heath and Joe Henderson in Europe.

paragraph: Kris Brown

paragraph: Kristopher Clayton Brown (born December 23, 1976) is a former American football placekicker who played in the National Football League (NFL) for twelve seasons in the late 1990s and 2000s. He played college football for the University of Nebraska, and was drafted in the seventh round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the first six years of his NFL career, he has converted 132 of 173 field goals (76%) and scored 573 points. He was a key player for the expansion Houston Texans, being their placekicker for the entirety of the team's existence until 2010. He has also played for the San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Brown was a three-year starter at kicker and a two-year starter at quarterback for Carroll High School in Southlake, Texas. He led the Dragons to consecutive 16-0 records and Class 3A State Championships in 1992 and 1993, starting at quarterback on the 1993 team.

paragraph: Brown served as captain of the Dragons as a senior and connected on 16-of-18 field goal attempts in 1994. He earned first-team all-district, All-Northeast Tarrant County honors and all-area honors as a kicker, as well as honorable-mention all-state honors from both the AP and the Texas Sportswriters Association. Brown was named an All-America kicker by Bluechip Illustrated and an All-Midlands region choice by SuperPrep in 1994.

paragraph: In Carroll Senior High School's first ever 4A playoff game in 1994, Brown kicked four field goals, including a long of 50 yards, and the unranked Dragons defeated No. 2 Waxahachie, 26−23. The following week Brown was knocked out of the game in the first quarter with a concussion and Carroll was eliminated from the playoffs. The Dragons went 38−5 during Brown's tenure with the Dragons.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Brown was a four-year starter at kicker and won two national championships at the University of Nebraska. Brown broke numerous school records while playing at Nebraska, including most career points (388), most field goals made (217), most consecutive field goals made (17), most PATs made (217), most consecutive PATs made (114), most points scored by kicking during a season (116) and career (388), most points scored by a freshman (97 in 1995), and most PATs made during a season without a miss (62 of 62 in 1997). Several of these records were later broken by former Philadelphia Eagles kicker, Alex Henery.

paragraph: His younger brother, Drew Brown, followed in his footsteps by becoming University of Nebraska's Place Kicker in 2014. He previously was the kicker for Southlake Carroll before his career with Nebraska like his brother.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Pittsburgh Steelers.

paragraph: Brown was selected in the seventh round (228th overall) of the 1999 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He saw action immediately in his rookie season leading the team in scoring with 105 points while seeing action in all 16 games of the regular season.

paragraph: Brown remained with the Steelers through the 2001 season, but had a crucial field goal blocked in the AFC Championship game that was returned for a touchdown. Brown also struggled in the team's first season at Heinz Field, including missing 4 field goals in a 13−10 loss to the arch-rival Baltimore Ravens.

paragraph: Following the 2001 season, Brown sought free agency and was granted the right to sign with another team. In 2002, Brown chose to sign with the newly formed Houston Texans as a restricted free agent. The Steelers chose not to match the Texans' offer, opting to initially go with Todd Peterson before selecting kicker Jeff Reed after Peterson was injured mid-season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Houston Texans.

paragraph: Brown won the job as a placekicker for the Texans and held the position for the first eight years of the franchise's history. On Christmas Eve 2006, Brown nailed a 48-yard field goal as time expired to give the Texans their first-ever win over the Indianapolis Colts.

paragraph: Brown kicked five field goals on October 7, 2007, against the Miami Dolphins at home, including the game-winner on a career-long 57-yarder with one second remaining. Brown set an NFL single-game record with three field goals of 54 yards or more, hitting two 54-yarders earlier in the game. Neil Rackers, Connor Barth, Morten Andersen, Sebastian Janikowski, Phil Dawson, Josh Scobee, and Blair Walsh are the only other kickers to kick three field goals of 50+ yards in a single game.

paragraph: Brown was given an extension on June 16, 2009, worth $10 million over 4 years. It also included $2.5 million in guarantees.

paragraph: Brown missed two game-tying field goals vs the Colts and Titans on Monday Night Football in week 9 and 11 of the 2009 season.

paragraph: On September 3, 2010, Brown was released from the Texans after losing a training camp battle to Neil Rackers. Brown was the last remaining member of the inaugural 2002 team.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:San Diego Chargers.

paragraph: Brown signed with the Chargers on October 20, 2010, after an injury to Nate Kaeding. On October 24, 2010, Brown kicked his first field goal as a San Diego Charger against the New England Patriots, later making his second field goal. With 27 seconds left in the game, he missed a 50-yard field goal which would have tied the game. It was the only one he missed out of 5 attempts in 3 games. Brown was cut on November 23.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Dallas Cowboys.

paragraph: On December 31, 2010, Brown was signed to a two-year contract by the Dallas Cowboys, who were looking for him to compete the next year with David Buehler for the kicker job, so he was declared inactive for the last game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles. On July 28, 2011, he was released after the team decided to sign undrafted free agent Kai Forbath and not have to pay Brown's scheduled $911,000 salary.

paragraph: Section::::Charity work.

paragraph: Off the playing field, Brown has demonstrated a commitment to charity. During his three seasons for the Steelers, Brown was active in the Pittsburgh community. He volunteered his efforts for The Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf and Junior Achievement’s “Kickin’ for Kids” program.

paragraph: During his recent career with the Texans, Brown has raised $384,000 for Texas Children’s Hospital Charity Care Program through the program Kris Brown’s Kick Club. The program's mission is to provide hope, medical resources, and healing for patients at Texas Children's Hospital that do not have the ability to provide these for themselves and to increase community awareness about their needs. His involvement stemmed from a personal experience that Brown dealt with as a child. His sister April was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of 11. She recovered and has been in remission for 13 years. The support his family received during the ordeal served as the inspiration to form Kris Brown's Kick Club.

paragraph: On March 7, 2004, Brown greeted President George W. Bush when he landed at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas. Bush honored Brown and Texas Children's Hospital for their charity efforts.

paragraph: In addition, Brown started the “Kicks for Kids” program in 2002, partnering with Ikon and Academy Sports & Outdoors to donate $800 to the Houston Texans Foundation for every point that Brown scored on the field.

paragraph: On August 2012, a report from The Kansas City Star mentioned that Brown's company, Savoreaux, Inc. was holding a job fair for his Dunkin Donuts locations that had recently opened. The report went on to state that Brown had retired from football.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Brown is co-owner and chief executive officer of the Berliner Group, a Dunkin' Donuts franchisee in Kansas City and Omaha. Currently, the Berliner Group has one store operating in both Kansas City, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska. Two additional stores are being built in Omaha, with plans to open those locations by the end of 2014. He has currently opened a store in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Wichita, Kansas. He is currently in the midst of opening a store in Liberty, Missouri and Gladstone, Missouri is the next coming months.

paragraph: When Takeda Shingen took Fukashi castle (now Matsumoto Castle) in 1550, he entrusted it to Baba.

In 1573, he took part in the Battle of Mikatagahara, during which the troops under his command chased Tokugawa Ieyasu's army back to Hamamatsu fortress; upon seeing the gates open and braziers lit, Baba mistakenly suspected a trap, and did not press the fleeing army further. Following Takeda Shingen's death, Baba served his successor Takeda Katsuyori. He led the Takeda army's right-wing in the Battle of Nagashino in 1575, and was killed in combat during that engagement.

paragraph: Amadeus IV of Geneva

paragraph: Amadeus IV (died 1369) was the Count of Geneva from 1367 until his death. He was the second son of Amadeus III and Mahaut d'Auvergne. He succeeded his childless brother Aymon III in August 1367. He reversed the policy of his father and brother respecting the House of Savoy, and supported the bishops of Lausanne and Geneva against his cousin Amadeus VI of Savoy.

paragraph: Amadeus seems to have come to terms with his Savoyard cousin by 13 May 1368, the date on which he performed the act of homage to him for the county of Geneva. He then travelled with the count of Savoy into Italy for the campaign to bring Philip II of Piedmont to submission, and was present at Philip's trial by a stacked Savoyard court at Rivoli in September–October 1368. It is possible that the real reason for his accompanying Amadeus into Italy was to have an opportunity to speak with the Emperor, who was also in the region at that time. In February 1369 the Emperor repeated his revocation of Amadeus VI's vicariate. Amadeus IV died later that year.

He was the eldest son and successor of Amadeus III and Mahaut d'Auvergne. He pursued a policy of alliance and cooperation with the House of Savoy begun by his father. By all contemporary accounts, he was "handsome [and] possessed great charm of person and of manner."

paragraph: Section::::Youth of soldiering.

paragraph: During his youth, while still only heir to Geneva, Aymon was frequently in the entourage of his first cousin once removed, Count Amadeus VI of Savoy. On 20 October 1361 Aymon was with his cousin's army at the castle of Lanzo in Italy when they were ambushed by some members of an English “great company”. Aymon was among those captured and forced to pay a ransom for his freedom. Aymon later accompanied Amadeus to Avignon, then the residence of the Popes, and stayed at an inn under "the sign of the Fleurs-de-Lys and the Stag" ("signum Florum Lilii et Cervi") beside the hostelry of Saint-Georges between 2/3 and 13 December 1362. The purpose of the trip to Avignon was for Amadeus to confer with King John II of France and to plan a punitive campaign against the great companies ravaging southeastern France and Italy, but Pope Urban V envisaged a new crusade against the Ottoman Turks and sought to bring them into a great anti-Turkish alliance. In the summer of 1363 Aymon took part in Amadeus' campaign to force the Margrave Frederick II of Saluzzo into submission.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage proposals.

paragraph: With the help of a faction at the Neapolitan royal court, Aymon made a bid to marry Joanna, Duchess of Durazzo, a niece of the powerful Queen Joanna I of Naples. This faction persuaded the duchess that Aymon was a superior suitor to the one proposed by the queen, Frederick II of Sicily, to whom a marriage would have a meant a rapprochement between the Neapolitan and Sicilian kingdoms, and that he was "more beautiful" ("pulcrior") than Louis of Navarre, another suitor and the one Joanna eventually married. When Joanna finally met Aymon, she immediately fell in love. Among the courtiers who persuaded the young Joanna to refuse to marry Frederick in favour of Aymon was the latter's uncle, Cardinal Guy of Boulogne. He and Joanna's great uncle Elias Talleyrand were opposing candidates for the Papacy in 1362, and the latter made several attempts to frustrate Aymon's marriage to Joanna. Guy's proposed marriage was, however, deeply opposed by the dominant court faction and the populace generally, as it was thought it would jeopardise a final peace with Sicily. The proposed marriage to Joanna fell through, as did her proposed union with Frederick. In his will Aymon arranged the repayment of a debt of 1,400 ducats to Pierre d'Ameil, who as Archbishop of Naples had supported his project, and who had become Archbishop of Embrun as a reward from Aimon's brother, the Antipope Clement VII. Piere d'Ameil's letters, many containing coded passages, are the principal source for Aimon and Joanna's romance.

paragraph: On 23 May 1366, shortly before leaving on Crusade, Aymon made a written agreement to marry Margaret, eldest daughter of the late Henri de Joinville, Count of Vaudémont, but the marriage never took place because of his death.

paragraph: Section::::Crusade and death.

paragraph: Although in 1364, when the Order of the Collar was formed with Amadeus III of Geneva as a member, the count made a promise to go on the crusade, he was unable to fulfill it personally due to ill health, and sent his son Aymon in his place. Aymon was thus the leader of the Genevan contingent on the Savoyard crusade that departed in 1366. He joined Amadeus of Savoy's army at Venice in June that year, along with some mercenary companies and a host of Burgundians. The crusader fleet totalled some fifteen vessels, including six Venetian galleys. Aymon, "the lord of Geneva" ("monsieur de Genève"), was named "admiral" of one of the galleys. On 3 January 1366 Amadeus had made up his will in case of his death overseas, naming as his heirs general first his son (and his issue) and then his second cousin's younger children, Amadeus and Louis, and finally to Aymon of Geneva on the condition that he adopt the name and arms of the house of Savoy. This will never went into effect, since Amadeus returned alive, and Aymon predeceased him anyway.

paragraph: The crusade was not ultimately successful in dislodging the Turks from Europe, but it did remove them from Gallipoli and free the Emperor John V Palaiologos from the Bulgars. Aymon, "[having] distinguished himself by his bravery", returned with the Crusade to Venice on 29 July 1367. There he remained for two weeks, possibly ill or wounded. He passed through Padua and Pavia on his return trip to Geneva, where his father had died in January. At Pavia Aymon was received by Galeazzo II Visconti, who loaned him money, on or near 20 August. There he fell ill and dictated his will to a notary in his room in the castle. His will is dated 30 August, and he died that day or the next, leaving the county to his brother Amadeus IV. He was buried beside his father in the chapel of the church of Notre-Dame de Liesse at Annecy. News of his death reached Amadeus of Savoy at Venice on 6 September, and the community of Annecy by 9 September.

paragraph: Arnold II of Horne

paragraph: Arnold (or Arnoud) II of Horne (1339–1389) was the son of William V of Horne and Elisabeth of Cleves. He was canon, provost, Bishop of Utrecht from 1371 to 1378, and Bishop of Liège from 1378 to 1389.

paragraph: After the death of bishop Jan van Virneburg in 1371, the cathedral chapter nominated its provost Zweder Uterlo as candidate for the bishopric, but the rest of the chapters supported the papal candidate Arnold van Horne, who as a result become bishop. Arnold seems to have been a forceful bishop, though he endangered the financial state of the bishopric. He involved himself in the Guelders War of Succession in 1371–1372, which almost led to his capture, and from 1373 to 1375 he waged war against the County of Holland over the advantageously located trading town of Vreeswijk. These actions had little results however, while they cost a lot of money. While the western border of the Sticht was re-enforced and the Hollandic advance was halted, Holland still held the mouth of the rivers Vecht and Lek, which kept Utrecht isolated.

paragraph: Bishop Arnold was forced to grant participation to the Utrecht burghers in the administration of the land, in the "Landbrief" (landletter) of 1375, after which they accepted new taxes in order to straighten out the financial status of the bishopric. This "Landbrief" is an important document that is considered the first constitution of the Nedersticht.

paragraph: Now that the wars had been halted, an old party struggle in the city erupted again, with the "Gunterlingen" on one side and the "Lichtenbergers" on the other side. Bishop Arnold managed to keep the parties separate, but he was moved to the Bishopric of Liège in 1378 by Pope Urban VI. However, the chapter at Liege had chosen someone else for the bishopric, and this candidate was supported by Antipope Clement VII. Only after a year of struggle was Arnold able to take his seat at Liege.

paragraph: Arnold of Horne was a learned man who was a good organiser, and able to inspire people. He was also adept at the Vielle.
