paragraph: Kerry Wood

paragraph: Kerry Lee Wood (born June 16, 1977) is an American former baseball pitcher who played 14 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, and New York Yankees. Wood first came to prominence as a 20-year-old rookie when he recorded 20 strikeouts in a one-hit shutout against the Houston Astros, which some have argued may be the greatest single-game pitching performance in MLB history. The game also made Wood the co-holder of the MLB record for strikeouts in a single game (20), and earned Wood the nickname Kid K. He was later named the 1998 National League Rookie of the Year. Wood would go on to record over 200 strikeouts in four out of his first five seasons, with a high of 266 in 2003, and holds several MLB strikeout records.

paragraph: Though he struggled with injuries throughout his career, Wood was twice named an All-Star. Wood transitioned to a relief pitcher in 2007 due to continued struggles with injuries, ultimately reviving his career as a closer. During his career Wood was placed on the disabled list 14 times in 14 major league seasons, which included missing the entire 1999 season due to Tommy John surgery. After a slow start to the 2012 season, Wood retired on May 18, 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Wood attended MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, for his first three seasons of high school baseball. He continued his education at Grand Prairie High School for his final season as a high school player. Wood was high school teammates with Kevin Walker. He initially committed to play college baseball at McLennan Community College in Waco.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Cubs.:1995–1997.

paragraph: The Chicago Cubs drafted Wood as the fourth overall selection in the 1995 Amateur Draft. He spent three years playing in the Minor Leagues. His best season in the Minors came in 1996, when he posted a 10–2 record for the Daytona Cubs. He also played for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. In 1997, he led all minor league pitchers in walks, with 131.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Cubs.:1998.

paragraph: Wood made his first appearance in the Major Leagues on April 12, 1998. In his fifth career start, on May 6, he threw a one-hit, no-walk, 20-strikeout shutout against the Houston Astros in Wrigley Field, tying Roger Clemens' record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game and breaking Bill Gullickson's single-game rookie record of 18 strikeouts in 1980.

paragraph: Wood allowed only two baserunners: Ricky Gutiérrez on an infield single and Craig Biggio who was hit by a pitch with a count of two strikes and one ball. (Biggio had led the league in that category each of the previous three years.) Only seven balls reached fair territory. Five were grounders that never left the infield (including Gutierrez's hit), one was a short fly along the right field line, and another was a fly to center. A foul pop was caught by first baseman Mark Grace and the remaining twenty putouts were credited to catcher Sandy Martínez, who caught the entire game. Wood had no special advantages – the Astros went on to lead the league in on-base-percentage, and all of the regulars were in the lineup, including the four who finished the season batting over .300. The performance garnered a game score of 105 – the highest number ever calculated for a pitcher in a nine-inning game.

paragraph: Wood finished the 1998 season with a 13–6 record; despite missing the last month of the season with elbow soreness, he easily won the National League Rookie of the Year award. He pitched one game in the playoffs, losing against the Atlanta Braves.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Cubs.:1999–2003.

paragraph: During spring training of 1999, he tore his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). Wood underwent successful Tommy John surgery to repair damage to the UCL in his right elbow, and missed the entire 1999 season.

paragraph: Wood returned in 2000 and had an 8–7 record, but the following season, he returned to form. In 2001, Wood went 12–6 with a 3.36 ERA. He recorded a one-hit, 14-strikeout complete game shutout on May 25, 2001. On Aug. 3, 2001, he struck out nine batters and gave up only one run over eight innings to defeat Chan Ho Park and the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 to extend the Cubs' lead in National League Central to 3.5 games. The following season, Wood finished 12–11 with a 3.67 ERA, and did not miss a start all year long, setting career highs with 213.6 innings pitched and 33 starts. He had 217 strikeouts in both seasons.

paragraph: In 2003, Wood set career highs with 266 strikeouts, 14 wins (as part of a 14–11 record), a 3.20 ERA, and two shutouts. He threw the fastest fastball in the majors among starters, averaging 95.4 miles per hour. He also walked 100 batters and surrendered 24 home runs, also career highs, but was selected as a National League All-Star and helped lead the Cubs to the playoffs as one half of ""Chicago Heat"" along with fellow pitcher Mark Prior.

paragraph: Wood earned two wins in the Divisional Series against the Atlanta Braves and was the starter in Game 3 of the 2003 National League Championship Series, which the Cubs won in extra innings. However, the Cubs lost in seven games to the eventual World Series champion Florida Marlins. In the decisive Game 7, Wood hit the first home run by a pitcher in an NLCS game since another Cub, Rick Sutcliffe, did so in Game 1 in 1984. However, the Marlins won the game 9-6. Wood was the losing pitcher and the Cubs were eliminated.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Cubs.:2004–2006.

paragraph: Wood went 8-9 during the 2004 season and was sidelined for nearly two months with a strained triceps.

paragraph: In 2005, Wood continued to struggle. On August 31, 2005, Wood underwent surgery and missed the remainder of the season. During Spring training in 2006, Wood suffered several injuries which required an additional surgery (on his knee). On May 18, 2006, Wood returned to the Cubs' pitching rotation when he started and lost a home game against the Washington Nationals. In June, Wood returned to the DL with a sore shoulder. The following month, the Cubs announced that Wood had sustained a partially torn rotator cuff which was likely to keep him from pitching again for the rest of the year. At the end of the 2006 season, the Cubs exercised their option on Wood's contract and bought out the remaining $13M.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Chicago Cubs.:2007–2008.

paragraph: With his long history of injuries and inability to stay in the starting rotation, Wood accepted the Cubs' offer to return as a relief pitcher in 2007. Wood attempted to sustain a regular throwing schedule and appearances during Spring training games. However, Wood was placed on the 15-day DL with soreness in his elbow and was then moved to the 60-day DL. Wood considered retiring if he continued to have pain in his throwing arm. He began playing catch on May 21. In his first rehab assignment in Cubs Rookie Ball, he struck out all three batters he faced. On July 24, he pitched 1 inning with the Single-A Peoria Chiefs, throwing 9 pitches. He made back-to-back appearances on July 26 and July 27, throwing his fastball between 92-94 mph with no discomfort.

paragraph: The Cubs activated Wood from the 60-Day Disabled List on August 3, causing many to believe that he would make his actual return on that day. In the seventh inning, however, Lou Piniella opted to send Bob Howry to the mound, and most fans, eager to see Kerry back on the hill, mistakenly gave Howry a standing ovation, only to realize moments later it was actually not Wood. Piniella later stated he wanted Wood to receive a "softer landing", or in other words, make his return in a game where the Cubs have a comfortable lead over their opponents. Wood made his return on August 5, with the Cubs trailing the New York Mets by four runs. He pitched a single inning, during which he allowed one hit, and struck out another batter. Piniella praised Wood's performance, stating "He threw the ball real good", and "His breaking ball had some bite to it, and he threw it up there about 93-94, about what we expected". He remained healthy appearing in 22 games and posting a 1-1 record with a solid 3.33 ERA.

paragraph: He was generally limited to one inning per outing, not appearing in games on back to back days, though he did pitch in both halves of a double header on September 15. Wood was a major contributor to the Cubs' NL Central Division Championship down the stretch in late September, earning a win and 8 holds. Wood filed for free-agency on November 11, 2007, though he suggested that he wanted to remain in pinstripes for the 2008 season. Despite multi-year offers from other teams, Wood agreed to a one-year, $4.2 million deal with the Cubs.

paragraph: Wood, along with Bob Howry and Carlos Mármol, competed for the role as the Cubs' closer after Ryan Dempster was moved to the starting rotation. After posting a 2.84 ERA in the spring, Wood won the job. He recorded his first career save April 3, 2008 with a win over the Brewers. Wood recorded 34 saves in 39 opportunities, 82 strike-outs and a 1.12 WHIP. He was selected to the 2008 MLB All-Star Game as a relief pitcher on July 6, 2008 along with six other teammates.

paragraph: Wood was placed on the 15-day DL on July 24, 2008 with a blister on his right index finger.

paragraph: On November 13, 2008, after acquiring closer Kevin Gregg from the Florida Marlins, Cubs general manager Jim Hendry announced that the organization did not plan to re-sign Wood. He had previously requested a multi-year contract with the team, but was deferred due to financial reasons. Wood stated he wished to remain with the Cubs, but also wanted to continue playing baseball.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Cleveland Indians.

paragraph: On December 13, 2008, Wood signed a two-year contract with the Cleveland Indians.

paragraph: Cubs fans showed their appreciation for him by giving him a standing ovation when the Cleveland Indians played at Wrigley Field on June 19, 2009. During the 2010 season, Wood was placed on the disabled list until May 8 due to an upper back muscle strain. On July 17, 2010, Wood was placed on the disabled list for the 14th time in his major league career, this time due to a blister on his right index finger.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Yankees.

paragraph: Wood was traded from the Cleveland Indians to the New York Yankees on July 31, 2010 for Andrew Shive, Matt Cusick, and cash. With the Yankees, he went 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA in 24 games, including 21 straight scoreless appearances, and served as the bridge to Mariano Rivera in the 2010 postseason. During the 2010 postseason, Wood had a 2.25 ERA appearing in 7 games overall. The Yankees won the 2010 ALDS against the Minnesota Twins in 3 games but lost to the Texas Rangers in 6 games of the 2010 ALCS.

paragraph: The Yankees announced on October 27 that the club had declined to exercise their option for Wood for 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Second stint with the Chicago Cubs.

paragraph: On December 16, 2010, Wood agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million with the Cubs. Wood reportedly turned down offers for long-term deals from several other teams worth more money due to his desire to keep his family in Chicago. Wood re-signed with the Cubs on January 13, 2012 for a 1-year, $3 million deal with a team option for 2013.

paragraph: On May 18, 2012, Wood retired, striking out the only (and therefore final) batter he faced, Dayán Viciedo of the Chicago White Sox. The fans at Wrigley Field gave Wood a long standing ovation as his son, Justin, ran out to greet him as he exited the field. On his baseball career: "I had fun, I had a blast", Wood said. "I wouldn't trade anything in."

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:MLB records.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Fastest to reach 1,000 strikeouts in MLB history (in appearances): 134 games

paragraph: BULLET::::- Fastest to reach 1,000 strikeouts in MLB history (in innings pitched): 853 IP

paragraph: BULLET::::- Strikeouts in a 9-inning game: 20 on May 6, 1998 (tied record with Roger Clemens and Max Scherzer)

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: On February 13, 1999, Wood and former high school teammate Kevin Walker were ticketed for urinating in a parking lot at 1:10 a.m. in Scottsdale, Arizona. Wood missed his initial court appearance and an arrest warrant was issued. He later pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $90.

paragraph: Wood is married to Sarah Pates of Waukegan, Illinois. The couple has one son, Justin, and two daughters, Katie and Charlotte. Until 2008, the family resided in the Old Town neighborhood of Chicago.

paragraph: While playing for the Cubs, the Woods hosted a celebrity bowling tournament called "Kerry Wood's Strike Zone", which also featured a silent auction that raised over two million dollars.

paragraph: On June 24, 2013, while paddleboarding in waters in Chicago, Wood happened upon a corpse floating in Belmont Harbor. He immediately reported the discovery to local authorities, who determined the deceased to be a 40-year-old man who had been reported missing by a North Side nursing home days earlier.

paragraph: Nadir Ali Shah

paragraph: Nadir Ali Shah, (Urdu: نادر علی شاہ, Sindhi: نادر علي شاهه) popularly known as Murshid Nadir Ali Shah, was a Sufi saint of Sehwan Sharif, located in Sindh. He was a Sufi Muslim saint of Pakistan and was a spiritual successor of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar.

paragraph: He was born in Village Gandaf, District Swabi in 1897. He received his early education from his father Ghulam Shah.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: In his early youth, he with the permission of his parents, embarked on the journey of finding his spiritual guide (Murshid). He stayed in different cities of the then Indian subcontinent, of which Lahore, Sirhind Sharif, Delhi, Ajmer and Quetta are worth mentioning. At last he saw a dream in which he was instructed by Lal Shahbaz Qalandar to come to Sehwan Sharif.

paragraph: The then successor and custodian of Kafi Sakhi Sarwar, Murshid Deedar Ali Shah, became his spiritual teacher, and appointed him as his successor. After Murshid Deedar Ali Shah's death in 1931, Nadir Ali Shah became the custodian, taking the name of Murshid Nadir Ali Shah.

paragraph: Section::::Asceticism and Divine Love.

paragraph: He had risen to such a high degree of Asceticism and Divine Love that he gave up solid food altogether. In 1946 Indian mystic Meher Baba went Sehwan Sharif to meet him. He called him an advanced pilgrim. According to him Nadir Ali Shah stood in a ditch for a period of two years. He would take only liquid food. He would wear faqirs' clothes and a Qalandari cap (a cotton cap with flaps over the ears). Meher Baba sat with him for one hour.

paragraph: Section::::Philanthropy.

paragraph: Nadir Ali Shah started a free meal service for the general public in the cause of Allah (Langar fi Sabilillah) in Sehwan Sharif, which is continued to date.

paragraph: He also started a free meal service for all in the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Karachi.

paragraph: Section::::Spiritual Lineage.

paragraph: As with any other major Sufi order, the Qalandariyya proposes an unbroken spiritual chain (Silsila) of transmitted knowledge, going back to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad through one of his companions, which in the Qalandariyya case is Ali (d. 661).

paragraph: Thus Nadir Ali Shah's spiritual lineage is traditionally given as follow:

paragraph: BULLET::::1. Murshid Nadir Ali Shah (d. 1974), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::2. Murshid Deedar Ali Shah (d. 1931), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::3. Murshid Shamsher Ali Shah (d.1926), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::4. Murshid Qutub Ali Shah (d. 1914), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::5. Murshid Mehboob Ali Shah (d. 1900), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::6. Murshid Khaki Shah (d. 1869), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::7. Murshid Aman Ali Shah (d. 1853), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::8. Murshid Darbar Ali Shah (d. 1841), "taught by"

paragraph: BULLET::::9. Murshid Roshan Ali Shah (d. 1826).

paragraph: This uninterrupted chain is traced back to Prophet Muhammad via Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and Ali.

paragraph: Section::::Death and Burial.

paragraph: Nadir Ali Shah died in the early hours of Tuesday, October 8, 1974 AD (21st Ramadan 1394 AH) at the age of 77 years. His funeral prayer was held in the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and was attended by large number of people. The funeral prayer was led by Qazi Muhammad Murad. He was laid to rest alongside his spiritual master Murshid Deedar Ali Shah in Sehwan Sharif.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Langar Khana (Free Kitchen) of Nadir Ali Shah is located in the dervish lodge of Nadir Ali Shah, also called Pathan's Kafi in Sehwan Sharif. This charity center provides meal to thousands of people daily and virtually feeds the entire poor population of the town as well as the travelers. Apart from this, the centre also provides free accommodation to the travelers, who wish to stay in one of the many guest rooms. Dozens of devotees ("Malangs") participate in preparing and distributing the food on regular basis. Several free drinking water Sebils have been set up in Sehwan Sharif by the devotees of Nadir Ali Shah, where cold water is freely dispensed to thousands of people daily.

paragraph: Nadir Ali Shah was also custodian of the shrine of the two grandsons of Abdul Qadir Gilani. The shrine of Muhammad ibn Abdul Razzaq Gilani and Ahmed ibn Abdul Razzaq Gilani is located in the west of the Sehwan city, also called as Pir Pota Mazar or Dargah Masoom Pak. Thousands of people participate in their Urs or annual death anniversary, which is celebrated every year on 10th of Rabi' al-Thani.

paragraph: Nadir Ali Shah was also custodian of the shrine of the Sufi saint Abdullah Shah Ghazi located in Karachi. The shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi was built, expanded and beautified during his era in mid 1950s. He built a Mosque and a Langar Khana in its premises as well as long stairs to the shrine which is situated on the top of a sandy hill.

paragraph: Murshid Nadir Ali Shah was succeeded by Murshid Muhammad Arif Shah in 1974.

paragraph: Section::::In Poetry and Prose.

Noor Jehan, Shaukat Ali, Ahmed Khan, Khyal Muhammad are among the singers who have commemorated and paid tribute to him in their Qawwalis.

paragraph: Section::::Shrine.

paragraph: The shrine of Nadir Ali Shah is located in the dervish lodge of Nadir Ali Shah which is situated in southeast of the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. The iconic white and green dome is made of ceramic tiles. The hemispherical dome rests on the square building, the corners of which are decorated with four minarets, made of mosaic ceramic tilework resembling traditional patchwork of ralli.

paragraph: Blonde Dolly

paragraph: Sybille Alida Johanna Niemans (27 September 1927,Amsterdam – 31 October 1959, The Hague), aka Blonde Dolly, was a Dutch prostitute and businesswoman who was murdered by strangulation. Her murderer was never caught.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Niemans was born in Amsterdam-West on 27 September 1927. Her father, a shoemaker, was Hendricus Johannes Niemans (born 1899) and her mother was Sebilla Alida Johanna Streelder (born 1900). When she was young, her chronically ill mother was admitted to hospital. Niemans and her elder brother were sent to the Groot Kijkduin children's home in Zandvoort. When the Germans occupied the area in WW2, Niemans and her brother went back to Amsterdam to live with their father, who had by now a new wife.

paragraph: Niemans did not get on with her step-mother. She left home looking for a job and accommodation. Through a fortune teller and an Italian sailor, who was in fact a pimp, she entered prostitution in the Kerkstraat. Following a police investigation, she returned to her father and stepmother and started training in dressmaking.

paragraph: In 1948, Niemans moved to the Hague, where she rented a window at 21 Doubletstraat and returned to prostitution. Soon after she moved to 71 Scheldestraat. In 1950 she brought a house at 498 Nieuwe Haven. She was originally known as "Black Dolly" from her dark hair, but later bleached it.

paragraph: Later in 1950 she married Botto van den Bergh, a violinist in Hague's Residentie Orchestra. She accompanied her husband when he was travelling with the orchestra, and was introduced to classical music and the fashion and art worlds. She occasionally worked as a fashion model. Their marriage broke down after a year and, following a lengthy and complex legal procedure, the couple were divorced in 1957.

paragraph: Blonde Dolly is buried in the Westduin Cemetery in The Hague South.

paragraph: Section::::Murder.

paragraph: Niemans was found dead in bed in her house on the Nieuwe Haven on 2 November 1959. It was estimated that she had been strangled on the night of 30/31 October. There were no signs of violence and a considerable amount of cash was found in the building by the police. Robbery was ruled out as a motive for the crime.

paragraph: The murder of Blonde Dolly sparked a considerable stir. There was speculation that her "blue book" contained names of high-ranking regular customers. The police refused to release the notebook. This caused rumours that one of these high-ranking people would be involved in her murder. No evidence to substantiate these rumours was ever presented, nor that of a political cover-up.

paragraph: The international press picked up the case, linking it to the murder in Germany of Rosemarie Nitribitt in 1957, in which there were also allegations of politicians being involved.

paragraph: The main suspect in the case was a bodyguard named "Gerard V", who's services Niemans had used after another prostitute, Marietje van Es, has been robbed nearby in December 1958. He had fallen in love with Niemans but she had rejected him. He was never charged, and the investigation closed.

paragraph: According to the politician Hans Gualthérie van Weezel, his father, the police commissioner Jan Gualthérie van Weezel , knew who had committed the murder. Gualthérie van Weezel Sr. would keep a file on the case at home with the instruction to destroy it after his death. Before carrying out this instruction, Gualthérie van Weezel jr. Would have read the name of the perpetrator in the file.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: The life and death of Blonde Dolly was incorporated in Michel Dubois' novel Murder on Black Martha (1962), and was portrayed in director Gerrit van Elst 's film Blonde Dolly (1987). Casper Postmaa wrote a book about the case. In 2019 appeared Blonde Dolly by Tomas Ross with new details about the murder.

paragraph: Jacob Hutter

paragraph: Jakob (or Jacob in English) Hutter (also Huter or Hueter) (c. 1500 – 25 February 1536), was a Tyrolean Anabaptist leader and founder of the Hutterites.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Hutter was born in the small hamlet of Moos near St. Lorenzen in the Puster Valley, in the County of Tyrol (present-day South Tyrol, Italy). He learned hat making in nearby Prags and became an itinerant craftsman. Later he settled in Spittal, Carinthia.

paragraph: He probably first encountered Anabaptists in Klagenfurt and soon thereafter was converted to their belief. He began preaching in the Puster Valley region, forming several small congregations. As soon as the Habsburg authorities in Tyrol learned of these activities in early 1529, they began to persecute the Anabaptists. In 1527, the Habsburg archduke Ferdinand I of Austria had declared that seductive doctrines and heretical sects "will not be tolerated". In turn, Hutter and a few others went to investigate Moravia, because they heard the persecution was not as severe there. They visited Austerlitz, where they found the situation was indeed more tolerant and the Tyrolean Anabaptists decided to emigrate. As small groups moved to Moravia, Hutter first remained in Tyrol to pastor to those who remained. He escaped capture by the authorities because other captured Anabaptists would not reveal his whereabouts, even under severe torture.

paragraph: Hutter arrived in Moravia in 1533, when the persecution of the Anabaptists in Tyrol was at its peak. Many Anabaptists from the Palatinate, Swabia and Silesia also went to Moravia. Hutter united the local Anabaptist congregations, enabling Anabaptism in Moravia to flourish. Under Hutter's leadership, several of the congregations adopted the early Christian practice of communal ownership of goods, in addition to their Anabaptist beliefs of nonviolence, and adult baptism.

paragraph: In 1535, however, the Moravian "Landtag" diet had all Anabaptists expelled from Moravia and they scattered to surrounding countries. Hutter returned to Tyrol, where he and his wife were arrested on 30 November 1535 in Klausen and brought to the fortress of Branzoll (Bronzolo). On 9 December, Hutter was deported to the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck, where he was interrogated and pressured to recant. Even under severe torture he would not recant or reveal the names of other Anabaptists. Hutter was sentenced to death by fire and burned at the stake on 25 February 1536 in Innsbruck in front of the Golden Roof. According to the "Hutterian Chronicle", a total of 360 Anabaptists were executed in Tyrol.

paragraph: Hutter's words are recorded in eight letters, written under severe persecution.

paragraph: Section::::Commemoration.

paragraph: In Innsbruck Hutter is remembered in a street name, "Hutterweg" and by a plaque at the Golden Roof. Since 1992, Austrian Service Abroad, which works for worldwide understanding and reconciliation, has been located on Hutterweg.

paragraph: In 2006–2007 a working group with representatives from Protestant and Catholic churches, the peace movement Pax Christi and the Association of Evangelical churches in Tyrol worked toward reconciliation with the Hutterites. On 25 February 2007 the group, along with three couples invited to represent the Hutterites, held a memorial ceremony at the Golden Roof and a joint prayer service in the old city hall in Innsbruck.

paragraph: Shalmaneser V

paragraph: Shalmaneser V was king of Assyria and Babylon from 727 to 722 BC. He first appears as governor of Zimirra in Phoenicia in the reign of his father, Tiglath-Pileser III. Evidence pertaining to his reign is scarce.

paragraph: On the death of Tiglath-Pileser, he succeeded to the throne of Assyria on the 25th day of Tebet 727 BC, and changed his original name of Ululayu to the Akkadian name he is known by. While it has been suggested that he continued to use "Ululayu" for his throne name as king of Babylonia, this has not been found in any authentic official sources.

paragraph: The name "Shalmaneser" is used for him in the Bible, which attributes to him the final conquest of the kingdom of Samaria (Israel) and the deportation of Israelites. According to 2 Kings, chapters -, Shalmaneser accused Hoshea, King of Israel, of conspiring against him by sending messages to Pharaoh Osorkon IV of Egypt, and captured him. The Egyptians attempted to gain a foothold in Israel, then held largely by Assyria's vassal kings, by stirring them to revolt against Assyria and lending them some military support. After three years of siege he took the city of Samaria. The populations he deported to various lands of the empire, (together with ones deported about ten years earlier by Tiglath-Pileser III) are known as the "Ten Lost Tribes" of Israel. The populations he settled in Samaria instead form the origins of the Samaritans, according to a commentary in the Bible. It is also mentioned in the Book of Tobit in chapter 1 verses 2 and 15. Shalmaneser died in the same year, 722 BC, and it is possible that the population exchanges were done by his successor Sargon II.

paragraph: In the book of Tobit, chapter 1, the exiled Tobit is shown finding favor in the court of "Enemessar", only to lose influence under Sennacherib.

paragraph: Auguste Perret

paragraph: Auguste Perret (12 February 1874 – 25 February 1954) was a French architect and a pioneer of the architectural use of reinforced concrete. His major works include the Théatre des Champs-Élysées, the first Art Deco building in Paris; the Church of Notre-Dame du Raincy (1922–23); the Mobilier Nationale in Paris (1937); and the French Economic, Social and Environmental Council building in Paris (1937–39). After World War II he designed a group of buildings in the centre of the port city of Le Havre, including St. Joseph's Church, Le Havre. to replace buildings destroyed by bombing during World War II. His reconstruction of the city is now a World Heritage Site.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and experiments (1874–1912).

paragraph: Auguste Perret was born in Ixelles, Belgium, where his father, a stonemason, had taken refuge after the Paris Commune. He received his early education in architecture in the family firm. He was accepted in the architecture course of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, along with his two brothers, Gustave (1876-1952) and Claude (1880-1960). where he studied under Julien Guadet, a Beaux Arts neoclassicist who had collaborated with Charles Garnier on the construction of the Paris Opera. Beyond the neoclassical rationalism he learned from Gaudet, Perret's particular interest was the structure of buildings and the use of new materials, such as concrete. Though he was considered a brilliant student, he left school without obtaining a diploma and went to work for the family firm.

paragraph: Perret immediately began experimenting with concrete. His first important project was an apartment building on rue Franklin in Paris (1903), where the concrete structure, instead of being concealed, was clearly visible and was a part of the exterior design. He made an even more radical experiment with the construction of a garage on rue de Ponthieu (1906) (now destroyed) with a simplified cubic structure expressing the interior, large bays of windows and a lack of decoration, which resembled the later International Style.

paragraph: Section::::Early works (1913-1939).

paragraph: His most famous building was the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées a project which he took over from the Art Nouveau architect Henry van de Velde. The facade was simple and decorated only with a sculptural bas-relief by Antoine Bourdelle. The corner of the building was smooth and rounded, anticipating the Streamline Moderne style three decades later. Thanks to the use of concrete pillars, the interior lobby and the theater itself was vast and open, unobstructed by columns. The interior decoration featured works by the modernist artists of the day; a dome by Maurice Denis, paintings by Édouard Vuillard and Jacqueline Marval, and a stage curtain by Ker-Xavier Roussel.

paragraph: In his later works, Perret used concrete in imaginative ways to achieve the functions of his buildings, while preserving classical harmony , symmetry and proportions. His major works included the building of the French Economic, Social and Environmental Council, originally built for the Museum of Public Works of the 1937 Paris Exposition; and the Mobilier Nationale, the national government furniture atelier in Paris. He also created innovative industrial buildings, including a warehouse in Casablanca covered with a think veil of concrete (1915); the Perret Tower, the first concrete tower for the International Exhibition of Hydropower and Tourism of Grenoble (1925), to demonstrate his "Order of Concrete"; and the church of Notre Dame du Raincy (1922-23), where the interior columns were left undecorated and the concrete vaults of the ceiling became the most prominent decorative feature. He experimented with concrete forms to achieve the best acoustics for the concert hall of the École Normale de Musique de Paris in Paris. (1929)

paragraph: Section::::Later works (1945-1954).

paragraph: In 1952 he completed construction of the Saclay Nuclear Research Centre in the Paris suburb of Essonne. He described this campus as a "small Versailles for nuclear research". Most of France's early nuclear reactors were constructed within the site.

paragraph: His other major postwar projects included the reconstruction of the center of the port of Le Havre, which had been almost totally destroyed during the war. His first plan was rejected as too ambitious, but his modified plans were followed. He also participated in the postwar reconstruction of the Marseille port and of Amiens.

paragraph: His last major work, finished after his death, was the St. Joseph's Church, Le Havre, (1951–58) whose most prominent feature is its tower, like a lighthouse, 107 meters high, and visible at sea.

paragraph: Section::::Later life, honors and legacy.

paragraph: Among the many young architects who worked in the office of Perret from 1908 to 1910 was Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, who later became known as Le Corbusier; it was his first experience in an architectural firm.

paragraph: From 1940 Perret taught at the École des Beaux-Arts. He won the Royal Gold Medal in 1948 and the AIA Gold Medal in 1952.

paragraph: Perret also served as a juror with Florence Meyer Blumenthal in awarding the Prix Blumenthal, a grant given between 1919 and 1954 to young French painters, sculptors, decorators, engravers, writers, and musicians.

paragraph: In 1998, the Perret Tower in Grenoble was declared a national heritage site by France.

paragraph: In 2005, his reconstruction of Le Havre was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

He exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art in 1899–1900 and was responsible for the architectural decorations of the Victoria Law Courts, Birmingham, in the late 1880s.

paragraph: Two of his sons, Whitworth and Eric himself, were sculptors. Eric studied at the Slade School of Art. By 1931, Eric and Whitworth were running the studio as W. Aumonier & Sons, with Eric responsible for artistic output.

paragraph: In 1929, Aumonier was commissioned with five others to carve one of a set of relief sculptures of the four winds for 55 Broadway, the new Underground Electric Railways Company of London headquarters in St. James's, London, designed by Charles Holden. Aumonier carved the South Wind on the west side of the North wing (not visible from ground level).

paragraph: In 1932, Aumonier designed two Art Deco relief sculptures in the foyer of the Daily Express Building in London. He also designed a young horse, in white porcelain, for Royal Worcester.

paragraph: Another commission for the London Underground, "The Archer" at East Finchley Underground station, is his most iconic work, the only three-dimensional statue on the system. The contract for the work was placed on 8 June 1939, with an estimated cost of £245. The architect for the station was once again Charles Holden. The sculpture was unveiled on 22 July 1940.

paragraph: "Pennyfare", London Transport's staff journal, explained the roots of the image in July 1940:

paragraph: Finchley was on the edge of the royal forest of Enfield, which was hunted by both court and commoner. Drivers on the Northern line still bear a tie pin based on the sculpture.

paragraph: "The Archer" is nearly twice natural size and was made of six hundredweight of beech timber round a steel armature and then covered with 5 hundredweight of sheet lead. The timber had come from Czechoslovakia. The gold for the gilded features was mined in South Africa and the bow was English ash, bent by steam and coated with copper and gilt. The sculpture was probably constructed in three main sections, which were re-assembled on site.

paragraph: Amongst other work for London Underground, Aumonier also made two stone reliefs over two of the entrances to the canteen at London Underground's Acton Works – one of a pie, knife and fork. A sculpture of Dick Whittington was planned for Highgate, but a reduction in the scope of the new station buildings caused by World War II meant this was never commissioned.

paragraph: Aumonier worked on the new City Hall in Norwich with Alfred Hardiman and James Woodford.

paragraph: The sculptor also did some set work in the cinema. In 1946 he worked on the Powell and Pressburger film "A Matter of Life and Death" at Denham Film Studios. On the giant moving stairway featured in the film, Aumonier created the statues of various famous people. By coincidence, Powell and Pressburger's production company was called The Archers.

paragraph: In later years, Aumonier and his wife moved to Ashburton, New Zealand, where he died in 1974.

paragraph: Sakai Tadakatsu (Shōnai)

paragraph: The Sakai were identified as one of the "fudai" or insider "daimyō" clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa clan, in contrast with the "tozama" or outsider clans.

paragraph: Section::::Sakai clan genealogy.

paragraph: Tadakatsu was part of the senior branch of the Sakai.

paragraph: The "fudai" Sakai clan originated in 14th century Mikawa Province. The Sakai claim descent from Minamoto Arichika. Arichika had two sons: one of them, Yasuchika, took the name Matsudaira; and the other son, Chikauji, took the name Sakai—and this samuari ancestor is the progenitor of this clan's name.

paragraph: Sakai Hirochika, who was the son of Chikauji, had two sons, and their descendants gave rise to the two main branches of the Sakai clan.

paragraph: The Senior branch of the Sakai, are descendants of Sakai Tadatsugu (1527–1596), who was a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tadatsugu was charged with the defense of Yoshida Castle in Mikawa province.

paragraph: In 1578, Sakai Ietsugu (1564–1619) succeeded to his father's role as defender of Yoshida Castle. The "Ie-" in the beginning of "Ie"tsugu's name was a special honor bestowed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who intended to emphasize bonds of loyalty with those who were allowed to share in any part of his name.

paragraph: When Ieaysu's holdings were transferred to the Kantō in 1590, Ietsugi was installed at Usui Domain (30,000 "koku") in Kōzuke Province ; in 1604, removed to Takasaki Domain (50,000 "koku") in Kōzuke Province ; in 1616, removed to Takata Domain (100,000 "koku") in Echigo Province ; in 1619, removed to Matsushiro in Shinano Province; and then, in 1622 through 1868, installed at Tsurugaoka Domain (120,000 "koku") in Dewa Province.

paragraph: The head of this clan line was ennobled as a "Count" in the Meiji period.

paragraph: Section::::Events in Tadakatsu's life.

paragraph: Sakai Tadakatsu of Shōnai Domain came from the same family as the synonymous, contemporary "daimyō" of Obama, Sakai Tadakatsu, but should not be confused with him.

paragraph: Tadakatsu was the eldest son of Sakai Ietsugu, who was in turn the son of Sakai Tadatsugu, one of Tokugawa Ieyasu's three most trusted generals.

paragraph: After brief tenures as "daimyō" of Takada Domain and Matsushiro Domain, Tadakatsu was transferred to the new Shōnai Domain in the summer of 1622. He retired in 1634, yielding his position to his son Sakai Tadamasa.

paragraph: Tadakatsu died in 1647, at age 53.

paragraph: Sekouba Bambino

paragraph: Sekouba "Bambino" is the stage name of Sekouba Diabaté, a singer and musician born in Guinea, West Africa, in 1964.

paragraph: Bambino was born and raised in the village of Kintinya, some 25 kilometers from the town of Siguiri, close to the border with Mali. He was born into a musical family, and is descended from a long line of griots, known in some Mande languages as "jeli". His mother died when he was three years old, but left behind a legacy in the songs she had recorded which her son later heard on the radio. Her music became one of his main influences. Her death left Bambino with his father, who did not encourage his musical aspirations, hoping he would follow him working in his transport company, but from age eight, Bambino Diabaté sang with local bands and began to achieve musical renown. When he was 16, then-President Sékou Touré, (a music lover) who had heard him sing with local bands, insisted that he join Bembeya Jazz, Guinea's best-known musical group.

paragraph: Thus, in 1983, at the age of 19, Diabaté was asked to join Bembeya Jazz, Guinea's best-known musical group. He was given the nickname "Bambino" to distinguish him from one of the group's guitarists also named Sekou Diabaté (a.k.a. Sekou "Bembeya" a.k.a. "Diamond Fingers"). With Bembeya Jazz, the young vocalist undertook his first tour of Africa in 1985 and toured Europe the following year.

paragraph: Sekouba Bambino released his first solo recording in 1991, and throughout the 1990s continued to record solo material as well as to sing with the African salsa group Africando. His 1994 album "Syli nationale" ("National Elephant"), was a homage to the Guinea national football team. His music is popular throughout West Africa, particularly in Guinea, Mali, and other countries where the Bambara and Malinke languages are spoken. He has become renowned for his vocal prowess, and his voice compares favorably with that of any of his home region's best male singers. He is little known outside Africa, however, as he has consistently chosen to remain true to his West African fan base. His most recent album was released in 2004. His latest single was in 2008.

paragraph: In November 2015 Bambino was caught up in an attack by suspected Ansar al-Din operatives on the Radisson Blu hotel in Mali's capital, Bamako, but was able to escape. The BBC quoted him telling journalists:

paragraph: Marduk-ahhe-eriba

paragraph: Marduk-aḫḫē-erība, inscribed in cuneiform contemporarily as , meaning: “Marduk has replaced the brothers for me,” a designation given to younger sons whose older siblings have typically predeceased them, ca. 1046 BC, ruled as 9th king of the 2nd Dynasty of Isin and the 4th Dynasty of Babylon, but only for around 6 months using the date formula: 1 6, which first appears in Kassite times and is open to interpretation. According to the "Synchronistic Kinglist" he was a contemporary of the Assyrian king Aššur-bêl-kala where only the beginning of his name appears below that of his immediate predecessor Adad-apla-iddina.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: The only contemporary source is a kudurru (line art pictured), or gray limestone boundary marker, in a private collection in Istanbul, which records a land grant to a certain Kudurrâ, a “Ḫabiru” and servant of the king, in a region of northern Babylonia called Bīt-Piri’-Amurru. The term "Ḫabiru" may represent a socio-economic rather than ethnic designation as the name "Kudurrâ" is possibly not linguistically of semitic derivation. The field was surveyed by a diviner, a scribe named Nabû-ēriš the "son of" (i.e. descendant of) Arad-Ea, an administrator and a mayor.

paragraph: It has been suggested that he is the 5th king represented in the "Prophecy A" by the single line, “A prince will arise, and his days will be short. He will not rule in the land.” This is a late Assyrian tablet found at Assur and first published in 1923, which narrates a sequence of 12 Babylonian kings.

paragraph: Nabû-mukin-apli

paragraph: Nabû-mukin-apli, typically inscribed , “Nabû (is) establisher of a legitimate heir,” 978 – 943 BC, founded Babylon’s 8th dynasty, the so-called "Dynasty of E", and ruled for 36 years. The "Synchronistic Kinglist" records him as a contemporary of Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser II. His reign was plagued by Aramean invasions, resulting in Babylon being cut off from its agricultural hinterland for several years and consequently being unable to celebrate the new year festival.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: His reign falls in the midst of the Babylonian dark age and consequently his ancient sources are meager. He is mentioned in the "Eclectic Chronicle" but without any surviving historical information. The "Religious Chronicle" provides the most detail about his reign. The Akitu festival, or New Year’s festival of Marduk and Nabû, was interrupted several times, indeed for a stretch of nine straight years, because the “Aramaeans were belligerent.” Nabu's shrine is in the neighboring city of Borsippa and the festival seemed to involve the transport of cultic idols to the city of Babylon. The Kaldu (Chaldeans) migrated into Babylonia, and settled in the far south east of Babylonia just after his reign.

paragraph: A kudurru or boundary stone from Sippar (pictured), in southern Iraq, records a legal settlement, in his 25th year, of a feud over an estate in the district of the city of Sha-mamitu. It had formerly been the property of Arad-Sibitti, a provincial governor, and his cash-strapped Kassite family, the bīt-Abi-Rattaš, but had passed through marriage to the family of Buruša, a bow-maker. To complicate things, Arad-Sibitti had inadvertently killed Buruša’s slave with an arrow during the earlier reign of Ninurta-kudurri-uṣur I, ca. 987 – 985 BC. Buruša had to pay 887 shekels to secure title against the various liens imposed by Arad-Sibitti’s creditors. The king’s three sons are listed as witnesses to the settlement. A recently identified kudurru from the east of the Tigris in the Diyala region on the Mingatu-karītu canal is dated to his 16th year and details the sales of two plots of land. There is another kudurru fragment but it is badly damaged and gives no useful information concerning his reign. A single unpublished economic text in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva, Switzerland, is dated to his reign.

paragraph: His younger son, Rīmūt-ilī, acted as "šatam ekurrāti", overseer of the temples. He was succeeded by his other sons, firstly Ninurta-kudurri-uṣur II, for 8 months, and then Mar-biti-aḫḫe-idinna for an as yet undetermined period.

paragraph: Erra-imitti

paragraph: Erra-Imittī, (cuneiform: "èr-ra-i-mit-ti" or "èr-ra-" meaning “Support of Erra”) ca. 1805–1799 BC (short chronology) or ca. 1868–1861 BC (middle chronology), was king of Isin, modern Ishan al-Bahriyat, and according to the "Sumerian King List" ruled for eight years. He succeeded Lipit-Enlil, with whom his relationship is uncertain and was a contemporary and rival of Sūmû-El and Nūr-Adad of the parallel dynasty of Larsa. He is best known for the legendary tale of his demise, Shaffer’s “gastronomic mishap”.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He seems to have recovered control of Nippur from Larsa early in his reign but perhaps lost it again, as its recovery is celebrated again by his successor. The later regnal year-names offer some glimmer of events, for example “the year following the year Erra-Imittī seized Kisurra" (the modern site of Abū-Ḥaṭab) for the date of a receipt for a bridal gift and “the year Erra-Imittī destroyed the city wall of Kazallu,” a city allied with Larsa and antagonistic to Isin and its ally, Babylon. His conquest of Kisurra would have been a significant escalation of hostilities against Isin's rival Larsa. A haematite cylinder seal of his servant and scribe Iliška-uṭul, son of Sîn-ennam, has come to light from this city, suggesting prolonged occupation. The latest attested year-name gives the year he built the city wall of "gan-x-Erra-Imittī", perhaps an eponymous new town.

paragraph: When the omens predicted impending doom for a monarch, it was customary to appoint a substitute as a "statue though animate", a scape-goat who stood in the place of the king but did not exercise power for a hundred days to deflect the disaster, at the end of which the proxy and his spouse would be ritually slaughtered and the king would resume his throne. The "Chronicle of Early Kings" relates that:

paragraph: Presumably his error was to remain in the palace while the substitute ceremony was conducted. While the tale may be apocryphal, it provides a literary demarcation between dynasties. He was succeeded by Ikūn-pî-Ištar, according to two variant copies of the Sumerian King List, or Enlil-bâni, if the other sources are correct.
