paragraph: Simó Gómez

paragraph: Simó Gómez Polo (11 November 1845 – 11 June 1880) was a Catalan painter and engraver in the Realistic style.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born in Barcelona, and studied at the Escola de la Llotja under Ramón Martí Alsina and in the lithography workshop of . At the age of seventeen, he travelled to Paris with his brother Enric, who was also an engraver, with the intention of finding employment in the workshop of the French lithographer Alfred-Léon Lemercier. However, once there, he decided to become a painter and enroll at the École des Beaux-arts. To prepare for his entrance exam, he worked in the studios of Alexandre Cabanel and Tony Robert-Fleury. Meanwhile, he went through the museums of Paris, copying the classics. During this time, he gave up the Academicism of his early years and embraced Realism. He was also heavily influenced by the works of Édouard Manet and Eugène Delacroix.

paragraph: After his family's ability to provide financial assistance was exhausted, Cabanel and Fleury were sufficiently impressed with his abilities to petition Queen Isabella II (who visited Paris in 1865) to provide a stipend so Gómez could continue his studies. Unfortunately, the petition was dismissed on the grounds that too many stipends had already been given, so he and Enric had to return to Spain.

paragraph: After a few years in Barcelona, they lived in Madrid for a year and a half, where Simó frequented the Museo del Prado, copying the masters. He received several commissions at that time, including a project to decorate the Palace of the , together with the painter José Marcelo Contreras (1827-1890). Upon returning home, he opened a studio in the Poble Sec district, which served as a meeting place for the local art community. Lluís Graner, Josep Cusachs and Joan Brull were among those who had their first art lessons there.

paragraph: In 1874, he presented his painting "Arrepentimiento de Judas" as part of his application for a professorship at the Escola de la Llotja, but Antoni Caba was chosen for the position instead. Gómez died in Barcelona, aged 34, from unspecified causes.

paragraph: Patsey

paragraph: Patsey was an enslaved African-American woman who lived in the mid 19th century. Another enslaved person, Solomon Northup (who was later freed), wrote about her in his book "Twelve Years a Slave". The book was later adapted into a film, in which she was portrayed by Lupita Nyong'o, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: In the book, Northup writes that Patsey's mother was from Guinea, enslaved and taken to Cuba. Her mother was then sold to a family named Buford in the Southern region of the United States.

paragraph: Patsey is believed to have been born around 1830, in South Carolina. The earliest record of Patsey as a slave is in 1843, when she was 13. She was sold to a man named Edwin Epps in Louisiana.

paragraph: Solomon Northup and Patsey became friends after he arrived on the Epps plantation. Northup wrote in his book that Patsey was the "queen of the fields" on the plantation and was often praised by her owner for her ability to pick large amounts of cotton. Northup also wrote that Patsey was unlike the other slaves and had a sense of spirit that was unwavering in its strength.

paragraph: Epps's wife Mary became jealous when Epps started raping Patsey, who would have been under the age of 18 when he began assaulting her. Mary demanded her husband sell Patsey, but he refused to do so, as detailed by Northup in the book, and Mary also began to physically abuse Patsey. In his book, Northup wrote that Mary tried to bribe other workers and slaves to kill Patsey and dump her body in the swamps, but no one would. Even though Patsey was a highly productive slave and a favorite of Epps, she was not given special treatment.

paragraph: Though Northup described Patsey as "a joyous creature, a laughing, light-hearted girl," the intense brutality she suffered, caught between "a licentious master and a jealous mistress" drove her wish for death. Yet Patsey, like Northup, also dreamed fervently of freedom.

paragraph: Section::::Abuse.

paragraph: Patsey was often whipped and had many scars on her back. Northup wrote that on one occasion she was scourged to the point of near death because she had gone to a neighboring plantation for a bar of soap. When Epps found out she had left his plantation, he had her tied to a stake and ordered Solomon to whip her. After hearing the mistress whispering in his ear to discipline her, Epps then took the whip himself until, as described in Northup's book, she was "literally flayed" from over 50 lashes. He wrote that after this experience he and Patsey were severely traumatized and that he had never forgotten what Patsey endured during the

paragraph: time he knew her.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In "Twelve Years a Slave" Northup wrote that as he was about to leave the Epps plantation in 1853 after having been there with Patsey for almost a decade:

paragraph: "Patsey ran from behind a cabin and threw her arms about my neck. 'Oh! Platt [the name given to Northup by his kidnappers],' she cried, tears streaming down her face, 'you're goin' to be free—you're goin' way off yonder where we'll neber see ye any more. You've saved me a good many whipping, Platt; I'm glad you're goin' to be free—but oh! de Lord, de Lord! what'll become of me?" Northup then boarded a carriage to freedom and he never saw her again.

paragraph: Writer Katie Calautti chronicled her search for what became of Patsey in a 2014 "Vanity Fair" article. Though little is known about Patsey after Northup's departure, a comment in the "Vanity Fair" article (since removed) revealed a link proving she did survive until at least 1863, ten years after Solomon was freed. In a letter printed in a New York state newspaper, the "Mexico Independent", on June 18, 1863, Capt. Henry C. Devendorf, a Union officer from upstate New York, told how he encountered a slave named Bob near Bayou Boeuf. Bob was one of Epps' slaves, and the New York soldiers had a chance to converse with him, and confirmed that Epps was his master, and that he had known Northup. "Patsy," wrote Devendorf in the letter (written in May 1863), "went away with our army last week, so she is at last far from the caprices of her jealous mistress." (The issue of the "Mexico Independent" that has Devendorf's letter is available as part of an online collection of New York State historical newspapers. The part of the letter that references Northup and the Epps plantation is summarized by Northup researcher David Fiske).

paragraph: With renewed interest in her after the 2013 film "12 Years a Slave" won the Academy Award for Best Picture, historians continue to research in hopes of pinpointing more specifically what happened to her.

paragraph: Francesco Spinelli

paragraph: Saint Francesco Spinelli (14 April 1853 - 6 February 1913) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Sisters Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament. Spinelli became close contemporaries of Saint Geltrude Comensoli and Blessed Luigi Maria Palazzolo and had a previous collaboration with Comensoli in which the two established a religious institute in Bergamo before a rift between members caused Spinelli to distance himself from its work and leave.

paragraph: His beatification cause opened in 1952 under Pope Pius XII with the beatification being celebrated four decades later on 21 June 1992. Pope Francis confirmed Spinelli's canonization which took place on 14 October 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Francesco Spinelli was born in Milan on 14 April 1853; he was baptized on the following 15 April. He - with his parents and siblings - moved from Milan to Cremona when he was still a child and would spend his summers at Vergo where in 1871 he was cured of a severe spinal problem. In his childhood he liked to hold puppet shows for fellow children while he visited the poor and ill with is mother on frequent occasions.

paragraph: His call to the religious life was fostered due to the support of his mother and his priest uncle Pietro Cagliaroli. His friend Blessed Luigi Maria Palazzolo also encouraged him towards the path of the priesthood which he studied for in Bergamo. He was ordained to the priesthood in Bergamo on 14 August 1875 (which he received from the Bishop Pietro Luigi Speranza) and not long after travelled to Rome to take part in the Jubilee that Pope Pius IX convoked. He also went to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore where he spent brief moments in reflection at the crib of the Infant Jesus. This provided him with the inspiration he needed to found a religious congregation of his own after a vision in which he saw women worshiping Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration. His return from Rome saw him hold educational activities at an evening school at a place his friend Palazzolo established and also assisted his priest uncle Pietro Cagliaroli with his parish activities.

paragraph: On 15 December 1882 he co-founded the Sacramentine Sisters in Bergamo with Saint Geltrude Comensoli that would devote itself to the Eucharist and to Eucharistic Adoration; the first convent opened on Via San Antonino. Spinelli was forced to leave it on 4 March 1889 after it failed due to a range of calamities including financial difficulties (the bishop decided to sever Spinelli's connection to the order as a result). He arrived in Rivolta d'Adda in Cremona penniless and pained due to what happened back in Bergamo. It was the diocesan bishop who offered him to come to Cremona to exercise his pastoral duties. In 1892 he founded the Sisters Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament that later received the diocesan approval of the Bishop of Cremona Geremia Bonomelli in 1897.

paragraph: He died in 1913. The papal decree of praise for his order was issued on 11 December 1926 and later received full pontifical approval on 27 February 1932 from Pope Pius XI. The congregation he founded now operates in nations such as Argentina and Senegal and as of 2005 has up to 436 religious in a total of 59 houses.

paragraph: On 30 August 1958 the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli - the future Pope John XXIII - visited Spinelli's tomb and wrote in his journal: "Going from Lodi and arrived in Rivolta d'Adda where I admired the general house of the Sisters Adorers founded by Venerable Francesco Spinelli at whose tomb I was glad to pray". Roncalli referred to Spinelli as Venerable despite the fact that the formal recognition had not been conferred upon the late priest at that stage.

paragraph: Section::::Canonization.

paragraph: The beatification process commenced in the Cremona diocese in an informative process (1928-30 with a concurrent process from 1930–31) that had been tasked in documenting his life and the manner in which his life adhered to the cardinal virtues and the theological virtues. Theologians also voiced approval for his writings which were found to be in line with the tradition of the faith. These processes occurred despite the fact that the formal introduction of the cause did not come until 25 January 1952 under Pope Pius XII in which he was titled as a Servant of God as the first official stage in the process. An apostolic process was later held from 1953 until 1957 at which point the Congregation of Rites validated both processes on 22 June 1962.

paragraph: The Positio was received in Rome in 1998 which enabled the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to start their own investigation into the cause and the contents of the dossier. Theologians approved the cause on 14 April 1989 as did the C.C.S. members on 9 January 1990. Pope John Paul II declared him to be Venerable on 3 March 1990 after recognizing his heroic virtue.

paragraph: Spinelli's beatification depended upon a healing to receive papal confirmation which needed to be deemed miraculous in nature. One such case was investigated in the diocese it originated in before the contents of that investigation were sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints for additional assessment. Medical experts confirmed the healing to have no scientific explanation on 9 January 1992 with theologians confirming the healing was a result of Spinelli's intercession; the C.C.S. confirmed the findings of both boards on 7 April 1992. John Paul II later confirmed the investigated healing to be a miracle attributed to him on 2 June 1992. The pontiff beatified Spinelli on 21 June 1992 at a shrine in Caravaggio.

paragraph: There needed to be one final confirmed miracle in order for him to be canonized as a saint. There came a case in the 2000s from Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo that was subjected to a diocesan investigation from 10–16 August 2014 and was sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints for further assessment. Medical experts confirmed this healing on 21 September 2017 as did theologians later on 30 November 2017. The C.C.S. later confirmed this miracle on 6 February 2018; Pope Francis later approved it on 6 March and Spinelli was canonized as a saint on 14 October 2018.

paragraph: The current postulator assigned to the cause is Giovangiuseppe Califano.

paragraph: Muhammad of Ghazni

paragraph: Muhammad of Ghazni () (died 1041) was "sultan" of the Ghaznavid Empire briefly in 1030, and then later from 1040 to 1041. He ascended the throne upon the death of his father Mahmud in 1030. He was the younger of a set of twins; this circumstance resulted in civil strife. His reign lasted five months before he was overthrown by his twin Ma'sud I, after which he was blinded and imprisoned. Nine years later he was reinstated for a year before being slain by his nephew Maw'dud. According to Ferishta, his reign lasted only 50 days before he was blinded and imprisoned on the order of Ma'sud I. A year later he was murdered by his nephew Maw'dud.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Mohammed was born along with his elder twin brother Mas'ud in 998 at the Ghaznavid capital of Ghazni. In ca. 1008, Mohammad married the daughter of the Farighunid ruler Abu'l-Nasr Muhammad. Two years later after the death of Abu'l-Nasr Muhammad, Mohammad was appointed by his father as the governor of Guzgan, thus putting an end to the native Farighunid dynasty of Guzgan.

paragraph: In 1030, Mahmud, because of his bad relations with his heir Mas'ud, changed his opinion, and appointed Mohammad as his heir, who was much less experienced in government and military affairs than Mas'ud. Mahmud shortly died, and was succeeded by Mohammad, who then appointed Abu Sahl Hamduwi as his "vizier". At his accession, much power of the state was under the former "vizier" Hasanak Mikali and military officer Ali ibn Il-Arslan, who greatly administered the state. Muhammad shortly appointed his uncle Yusuf ibn Sabuktigin as the commander-in-chief of the army. Although Muhammad did not possess any real power, his empire flourished. Soon, however, Muhammad's slave troops ("ghulam") railed under Abu'l-Najm Ayaz, who had openly changed his allegiance to Muhammad's brother Mas'ud, whose military campaigns in western Iran had earned him a great reputation. Ayaz was shortly joined by other military officers such as Ali Daya. Muhammad then sent an army under his general Suvendharay to quell the rebellion, but the rebels eventually emerged victorious and killed Suvendharay. The victorious rebels then went to Mas'ud, who was at Nishapur.

paragraph: Furthermore, Yusuf ibn Sabuktigin and Ali ibn Il-Arslan including the rest Ghaznavid army of also joined Mas'ud. Mas'ud then marched towards Ghazni, where he defeated Muhammad and had him imprisoned, while crowning himself as the new Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire.

paragraph: According to Ferishta, Differences between Muhammad and his twin brother Mas'ud became worse by the time. A time came when Muhammad prepared an army to attack Mas'ud. He encamped with his army at the place of "Nakiya-abaad/Nakbat-abaad" for a month. At that place, most of his leaders and army revolted against him. They arrested and imprisoned Muhammad. Moreover, they welcomed Mas'ud as their new leader.

paragraph: Later, when the Seljuks were overrunning the western parts of the Ghaznavid Empire, a mutiny among the Ghaznavid troops placed Mohammad back upon the throne, and he had his brother Mas'ud imprisoned in turn. He promoted his son Ahmad, allied with Suleiman ibn Yusuf, to the actual day-to-day running of affairs. They are reported to have been behind the assassination of Mas'ud I while he was imprisoned.

paragraph: Mas'ud I's son Maw'dud, then stationed in Balkh, gathered his forces and marched upon Ghazni, capturing the throne and sentencing Mohammad to death.

paragraph: Mawdud of Ghazni

paragraph: Shahāb-ud-Dawla Mawdūd (; died 1050), known as Mawdud of Ghazni (), was a sultan of the Ghaznavids from 1041-50. He seized the throne of the sultanate from his uncle, Muhammad of Ghazni, in revenge for the murder of his father, Mas'ud I of Ghazni. His brother Majdud in Lahore did not recognize him as sultan, but his sudden death paved the way for Mawdud to exercise control over the eastern portion of the Ghaznavid Empire.

paragraph: Mawdud inherited an empire whose entire western half was overrun by the Seljuk Empire and was battling to continue existing. During his reign the further reaches of the Indian conquests and vassal states also broke away. Mawdud was able to hold on to his Afghan realms and Indus valley territories while stabilizing while pushing north into Central Asia and stabilizing his western front with the Seljuqs.

paragraph: Keikavus, author of the "Qabus nama", was a guest at Mawdud's court for seven to eight years.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: In 1038, Mawdud was declared by his father as the heir of the Empire. Furthermore, Mawdud helped his father during his campaigns against the Seljuqs and the Kara-Khanid Khanate. However, Mas'ud was eventually defeated by the Seljuqs at the Battle of Dandanaqan in 1040, and chose to leave Greater Khorasan for India, but was taken captive by his own soldiers, and replaced with his brother Muhammad, who had him killed.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Reign.

paragraph: Mawdud, who was at Balkh during that time with his father's "vizier" Ahmad Shirazi, then invaded the domains of Muhammad, and then avenged his father by defeating and killing him at Jalalabad in 1041. Mawdud, now with the control of all of the Ghaznavid Empire except Lahore, which was under the control of his rebellious brother Majdud, then appointed Ahmad Shirazi as his vizier, while Abu Sahl Zawzani was appointed as his chief secretary. In 1042, Mawdud invaded the territories of the Seljuqs and briefly occupied Balkh and Herat. This greatly increased the fame of Mawdud and made the Karakhanid ruler Böritigin acknowledge him as his suzerain. In 1043, Ahmad Shirazi fell out of favor and was replaced with Abd al-Razzaq Maymandi as Mawdud's vizier. During the same time, a rebellion in Sistan was quelled by Mawdud's military slave Toghrul.

paragraph: In 1043/4, Mawdud invaded Tukharistan but was repelled by the Seljuq prince Alp Arslan. Furthermore, Mawdud also sent soldiers to Sistan in order to hold his authority of the ruler of the region, the Nasrid ruler Abu'l-Fadl Nasr. However, these actions were fruitless, and Sistan soon became the vassals of the Seljuqs, thus the Ghaznavid borders were limited to Bost. During the same time, Majdud died, and Mawdud used the opportunity to capture Lahore. However, a combined army of three Hindu princes, who had captured many cities from the Ghaznavids then besieged Lahore, but were defeated. Mawdud then invaded Multan and repelled the Ismailis who lived in the region.

paragraph: In ca. 1050, Mawdud, with the aid of Böritigin and an army sent by the former Karkuyid ruler Garshasp I re-invaded Khorasan; Böritigin and his commander Qashgha invaded Khwarezm and Termez, however, during the invasion, Mawdud died and thus the invasion failed. The Seljuqs then extended their rule as far as Vakhsh and appointed a certain Abu 'Ali ibn Shadhan as the governor of their new conquests. After this, Böritigin seems to have stopped recognizing the Ghaznavids as his suzerain. Mawdud was succeeded by his son, Mas'ud II.

paragraph: Osberht of Northumbria

paragraph: Osberht (died 21 March 867) was king of Northumbria in the middle of the 9th century. Sources on Northumbrian history in this period are limited. Osberht's descent is not known and the dating of his reign is problematic.

paragraph: Section::::Chronicles.

paragraph: Osberht became king after Æthelred son of Eanred was murdered. The date of Æthelred's death is not certain, but is generally placed in 848. However, Symeon of Durham writes that "Ethelred the son of Eanred reigned nine years. When he was slain Osbryht held the kingdom for thirteen years" and states that 854 was "the fifth year of the rule of Osbert, the successor of Ethelred, who had been put to death".

paragraph: Little is known of Osberht's reign. Symeon states that "Osbert had dared with sacrilegious hand to wrest from that church Wercewurde and Tillemuthe" The "Historia de Sancto Cuthberto" dates the seizure of these lands to the year before Osberht's death. Osberht was replaced as king by Ælla. While Ælla is described in most sources as a tyrant, and not a rightful king, one source states that he was Osberht's brother.

paragraph: The Great Heathen Army marched on Northumbria in the late summer of 866, seizing York on 21 November 866. Symeon of Durham, the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", Asser, and Æthelweard all recount substantially the same version of events in varying detail. Symeon's "Historia Regum Anglorum" gives this account of the battle on 21 March 867 where Osberht and Ælla met their deaths at the hands of the Vikings:

paragraph: In those days, the nation of the Northumbrians had violently expelled from the kingdom the rightful king of their nation, Osbryht by name, and had placed at the head of the kingdom a certain tyrant, named Alla. When the pagans came upon the kingdom, the dissension was allayed by divine counsel and the aid of the nobles. King Osbryht and Alla, having united their forces and formed an army, came to the city of York; on their approach the multitude of the shipmen immediately took flight. The Christians, perceiving their flight and terror, found that they themselves were the stronger party. They fought upon each side with much ferocity, and both kings fell. The rest who escaped made peace with the Danes.

paragraph: King Osberht may have been buried in Thornhill, Yorkshire. A rare cluster of high status Anglian gravestones from that era, one bearing his name, were discovered in Victorian times in the graveyard of the ancient church of St Michael and All Angels, where they are on public display.

paragraph: After this, the Vikings appointed one Ecgberht to rule Northumbria.

paragraph: Section::::Sagas.

paragraph: Ragnarssona þáttr ("The Tale of Ragnar's sons") adds a great deal of colour to accounts of the Viking conquest of York. This associates the semi-legendary king of Sweden Ragnar Lodbrok and his sons, Hvitserk, Björn Ironside, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, Ivar the Boneless, and Ubbe. According to the stories, Ragnar was killed by Ælla, and the army which seized York in 866 was led by Ragnar's sons who avenged his death by subjecting Ælla to the blood eagle.

paragraph: Earlier English sources record that Ælla and Osberht died in battle, the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" stating that "both the kings were slain on the spot" The main figure in the revenge tales is Ivar, who is sometimes associated with the Viking leader Ímar, brother of Amlaíb Conung, found in the Irish annals. Dorothy Whitelock notes that "it is by no means certain that he should be identified with the son of Ragnar, for the name is not uncommon". The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" does not name the leaders in Northumbria, but it does state that "Hingwar and Hubba" slew King Edmund of East Anglia (Saint Edmund) some years later. Hubba is named as a leader of the army in Northumbria by Abbo of Fleury, and by the "Historia Historia de Sancto Cuthberto". Symeon of Durham lists the leaders of the Viking army as "Halfdene, Inguar, Hubba, Beicsecg, Guthrun, Oscytell, Amund, Sidroc and another duke of the same name, Osbern, Frana, and Harold."

paragraph: Norman historian Geoffrey Gaimar and Geoffrey of Wells both associate an Englishman named "Bern" or "Buern" with bringing the Danes to England, in Gaimar's case to Northumbria, in Geoffrey of Wells' mid-twelfth-century hagiography of Saint Edmund, to East Anglia. Gaimar's account has "Buern" seeking revenge for Osberht's rape of his wife.

paragraph: Aquino de Bragança

paragraph: Tomaz Aquino Messias de Bragança (born April 6, 1924 in Bardez (then Portuguese India), died October 19, 1986, Lebombo Mountains, on the South African side) was a Goan physicist, journalist, diplomat and Mozambican social scientist at the Eduardo Mondlane University. He played a leading intellectual and political role in the campaign for the decolonialisation of Mozambique from its colonial power Portugal.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Aquino's parents were João Paulo Proença Bragança and Ana Carlota Praxetes Antónia do Rosário Sousa. Both lived in the former Portuguese colony of Goa on the west coast of the Indian subcontinent. He spent his childhood in Goa, where he attended school. The high school he studied at was the Liceu Nacional de Afonso de Albuquerque in the town then called Pangim (also Nova Goa, later called Panjim then Panaji). In 1945 he took part in a training course for Chemical Engineering in Dharwad, in what was then British India.

paragraph: Section::::Professional and political development.

paragraph: As a young adult, Aquino de Bragança was in Portuguese East Africa in 1947, there to look for work. During this time he was confronted with the effects of the Portuguese colonial policy, which exercised a decisive influence on him for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Aquino de Bragança moved to Portugal by 1948, where he later met the writer Orlando da Costa, who was also from Goa, and who studied philosophy at the University of Lisbon. Here Aquino de Bragança also came across the physician Arménio Ferreira and the Casa dos Estudantes do Império, a centre for students from the African and other colonies of Portugal.

paragraph: In 1951, Aquino de Bragança headed for France. In Grenoble and Paris, he studied physics. In both places, he met students who were aware of the role of Portugal as a colonial power, and had negative and critical positions on the same, including Mário Pinto de Andrade, Frantz Fanon, and Marcelino dos Santos. Aquino de Bragança developed at that time a strong political consciousness of the Marxist variety and lived with the hope that the colony of Goa could be independent from Portugal. On the basis of his shared ideas with other activists from various Portuguese colonies, he created personal bonds.

paragraph: Within such political activists, he developed a Paris-Casablanca Algiers group designated as an informal alliance, as a result of the "Confederação das Organizações Nacionalistas das Colonias Portuguesas" (CONCP, "Conference of Nationalist Organisations of Portuguese Colonie").

paragraph: In 1957 Aquino de Bragança emigrated to Morocco in Algeria to take to teaching science. Here he married his first wife Mariana. Both the couple's children were born in Morocco. During this time he worked as a journalist and increasingly wrote for the Simon Malley-founded "Afrique-Asie" magazine in Paris.

paragraph: With the consent of King Mohamed V, he acted as the secretary of the editorial group of the Moroccan newspaper "Al Istiklal" and the private secretary of Ben Barka, a Moroccan opposition leader, whom he had met in Paris.

paragraph: When the PAIGC and the MPLA in 1961 set up an office of CONCP in Rabat to coordinate the political work of the independence movement of Portuguese colonies, together with the trade unionist and campaigner George Vaz, he represented the Goan People's Party within the new organization. His participation in this umbrella organization led to a growing influence in CONCP Secretariat and expanding contacts with leading figures in the liberation movements on the African continent.

paragraph: The Bragança family lived until 1962 in Morocco. In the same year they moved to Algiers in Algeria. During this time he worked under simple conditions and his journalistic activities offered only a modest living. He is co-founder of the weekly newspaper "Révolution Africaine", and wrote for the daily newspaper "El Moudjahid".

paragraph: By this time, the government of the dictator Salazar had become aware of his political activities and therefore sought an arrest warrant for the Portuguese secret police (PIDE) dated March 14, 1962. All his activities were monitored by the PIDE and recorded in regular reports.

paragraph: In 1965, he is found as a participant of 3 to 8 October at the second CONCP conference in Dar es Salaam, which had Agostinho Neto as Secretary and was organised by Mário Pinto de Andrade (MPLA) and Amalia de Fonseca and Aquino himself. He participated as an author and co-author along with Pascoal Mocumbi and Edmundo Rocha of the conference documents (for example, "The political situation in Portugal" and "Liberation struggle in the Portuguese colonies").

paragraph: On the recommendation of Simon Malley, he took on the task of commentator on issues in the Portuguese colonies since 1969 for "Africasia", which later became "Afrique-Asie". Together with Immanuel Wallerstein and Melo Antunes, the three-volume work "Quem é o inimigo" ("Who is the enemy?") came about. It dealt with key issues of colonialism, and first appeared in 1978 in Lisbon.

paragraph: His work in Algeria reflects a stage of comprehensive journalistic activities with the objectives of promoting the African liberation movements and participation in logistical support, building their international profile and promoting the training of journalists. In this way, Aquino de Bragança was founder of the Algerian School of Journalism, where he taught courses in the sociology of journalism. During his varied activities he met leading figures of the liberation movements, was their counselor and was friends with a number of these people. From this group of people are Mário Pinto de Andrade, Ben Bella, Amílcar Cabral, Samora Machel, Agostinho Neto and Eduardo Mondlane.

paragraph: After the Carnation Revolution of 1974 in Portugal, Aquino de Bragança decided to step up further engagement in Mozambique. This event had changed the balance of power in southern Africa completely. At the beginning of this new chapter of life, he was commissioned by Samora Machel in May 1974 with a political mission in Lisbon, in order to figure out the new negotiating partner for the FRELIMO in a situation where the power in a state of flux in the colonial capital, Lisbon.

paragraph: This led to a meeting with Ernesto Melo Antunes and first official contacts with Mário Soares, whom he had met earlier in Paris, and with the Portuguese Minister for inter-territorial contacts, António de Almeida Santos. Aquino de Bragança introduced the first official talks on behalf of his future homeland of Mozambique with the new political forces of the former colonial power, Portugal. As a result, there developed intense working contacts between the two sides, which were largely driven by Victor Crespo for the Portuguese government and by Joaquim Chissano and Aquino de Bragança for Mozambican negotiator. In September 1974, representatives from both sides met in Lusaka for further negotiations. In this context, there were discussions between Samora Machel and Ramalho Eanes, who later became President of Portugal, a longtime General in Angola and a member of the Movimento das Forças Armadas.

paragraph: After the victory of FRELIMO in Mozambique, Aquino de Bragança waived aside a possible ministerial post in the government of Samora Machel. Instead, he took over the position of his adviser, founded in 1975 the Center for African Studies at the Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo. The following year he was appointed director of this research area. The studies were concerned with development issues within Mozambique and the situation in the neighboring country of Rhodesia. The South African journalist and sociologist Ruth First took over as Director of Research here in 1977. She had previously taught at the University of Durham, UK. Together, they put together an international group of social scientists. The first project of its collaboration dedicated under the title "The Mozambican Miner", focussing on the Mozambican miners in South Africa. In the assassination of Ruth First in 1982 in the university premises by the use of a South African-sourced letter bomb, Aquino was seriously injured, while Ruth First died of this attack.

paragraph: The amicable relationship of trust with Samora Machel gave him a special place in post-colonial Mozambique. Within the government, Aquino de Bragança was nicknamed "the submarine", apparently because of his ability to work behind the scenes. Asked about his political creed, he described himself as an "anti-anti-communist."

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Aquino de Bragança died on 19 October 1986 in a Tupolev Tu-134 plane crash in the Lebombo Mountains, near the border between Mozambique and South Africa. With him on board the plane were President Samora Machel and 33 other senior officials of the country he chose to live in and be part of. The causes of the crash were still unclear. Before his death, Bragança worked on the preparations for a meeting between South African Foreign Minister Pik Botha and Samora Machel, which could have resulted in a reduction of conflicts between the two countries.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Aquino de Bragança was married to Mariana Bragança. From his first marriage two children, daughter Maya (March 1, 1962) and son Radek (November 30, 1959) were born. On 23 May 1979 his first wife died after a battle with cancer. His second marriage to Silvia do Rosário da Silveira was on 22 September 1984. Both for a year had previously met in Lisbon.

paragraph: Andy Egert

paragraph: Andreas "Andy" Egert (born 24 July 1961) is a Swiss blues guitarist, harmonica player and singer.

paragraph: Egert, who started his career around 30 years ago as a street musician, is mainly a live performing artist who does around 100 live performances a year. He has also performed live in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Lithuania, the United States, Poland and Panama, under his own name or in collaborations with blues singers such as Bob Stroger, Robert Lucas and Dallas Hodge.

paragraph: Egert was awarded the Swiss Blues Award in 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Egert was born in Mels, Switzerland, as the fifth of eight children. He started to play the guitar at the age of 19. However, when starting his first band "The Cool" in 1980 he initially played bass. At that time the band's music was mainly rock, influenced by bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Cream. His interest in blues came only a bit later, almost by accident, through a Swiss Radio program called "Just The Blues".

paragraph: In 1982, Egert started pursuing music full-time. He left the band to start touring Europe as a street musician, equipped only with an acoustic guitar. Despite difficulties and bad experiences, such as being robbed of everything except his guitar, he carried on and ended up travelling the streets of Europe for the next two years.

paragraph: Returning home he started his next band where he was the band leader, bass player and singer of the three piece blues-rock band 'Express' which lasted from 1984 to 1987. During that time in 1985 he finally made the switch back to guitar. With 'Express' he performed extensively, mainly by touring in Switzerland and Italy. In 1988, with his new band 'No Comment', another three piece blues rock band, he made his first studio recording, the 45 single "Hold On". In 1989, he created the 'Andy Egert Blues Band' his current band. With this band he recorded his first album (1990, "Andy Egert Blues Band").

paragraph: In the years following he toured again, this time mainly in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany, playing over 70 gigs in 1994. Back in 1990, Egert had started adding solo gigs, rekindling his years as a street musician, to his performance schedule. In addition to this he also sporadically played in a purely acoustic guitar and bass duo with his brother Martin. The result of this was their 1998 album "Blues with a Feeling". Andy Egert's fourth album ("Live", Brambus Records, 1999) was his first internationally released CD.

paragraph: Subsequent years of extensive touring increased his exposure and he appeared at several well established music festivals in Italy (Mantova Jazz Festival), Poland (Suwalki Blues Festival) and Switzerland (Blue Balls Festival Lucerne, Piazza Blues Festival, Bellinzona).

paragraph: In 2000, Egert undertook his first Chicago Blues Tour with Bob Stroger. Many other Chicago Blues Tours, mainly throughout Switzerland, were to follow over the next decade. In addition, he also started collaborating with Canned Heat slide guitarist and singer Robert Lucas, for tours and gigs in 2000, 2007 and 2008. Lucas died in November 2008.

paragraph: Another collaborative project with Dallas Hodge, himself another ex-Canned Heat member started in 2010.

paragraph: In March 2010, Egert appeared at the Basel Blues Festival where he was awarded with the Swiss Blues Award.

paragraph: In March 2012, Egert and Stroger played at the Boquete Jazz & Blues Festival in Panama.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Egert has been influenced by famous American and English blues players such as Johnny Winter, Robert Johnson, Alvin Lee and Eric Clapton.

paragraph: His guitar style has been mostly influenced by Freddie King. His way of playing, a powerful but clean guitar sound, the variability and dynamic range of his sound recalls to some extent the recordings of Freddie King.

paragraph: Egert describes his style as: "Blues with a feeling".

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.

paragraph: Egert's main equipment consists of a set of Hohner Marine Band blues harps, a semi acoustic Gibson ES-335 and a Marshall JCM-800 top-box amplifier.

paragraph: Tyus Battle

paragraph: Tyus Akili Battle (born September 23, 1997) is an American professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the Syracuse Orange. He earned a gold medal with USA Basketball at the 2014 FIBA Under-17 World Championship. A prospective target of many college basketball recruiters, he committed to the Michigan Wolverines in May 2015, but reopened his recruitment and committed to Syracuse.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: A native of Edison, New Jersey, Battle first became a nationally ranked basketball player in sixth grade. He played for Gill St. Bernard's School in Gladstone, New Jersey for freshman, sophomore, and junior year but then transferred to St. Joseph High School in Metuchen, New Jersey, which was closer to home and allowed him to follow in the footsteps of former standouts of the school Jay Williams and Karl-Anthony Towns. Tyus has earned high rankings among the national class of 2016. Although he endured a wrist injury during the season, Battle had averaged 22.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2 steals per game as a 2013–14 sophomore. As a junior, Battle missed the first six weeks of the season with a foot injury after being named the Somerset County, New Jersey player of the year as a sophomore. He returned to the lineup at the end of January 2015. He only appeared in 9 games during his junior season, as a result. His average fell to 16.9 points in his limited junior campaign.

paragraph: Michigan made Battle a scholarship offer in June 2014. Kentucky head coach John Calipari visited Battle on Halloween 2014. After receiving 24 scholarship offers, Battle narrowed his list of schools to 11 on November 3, 2014, via Twitter: Connecticut, Syracuse, Duke, Ohio State, Louisville, Florida, Kentucky, Miami, Villanova, Virginia, and Michigan. He narrowed his list of candidate schools to seven on February 23, 2015: Connecticut, Syracuse, Duke, Ohio State, Louisville, Michigan, and Notre Dame. Michigan head coach John Beilein visited Battle in New Jersey in February 2015. Battle took official visits to Duke and Louisville in April 2015 before visiting Michigan and had planned to visit Syracuse in late May 2015. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim had an in-home visit with Battle. Battle had also visited a Michigan camp during the summer of 2014.

paragraph: At the time of his May 11, 2015 verbal commitment, he ranked 14 as a 5-star member of the ESPN 60 for the class of 2016. He was also ranked no. 14 by Rivals.com, no. 10 by Scout.com, and no. 12 by 247Sports.com. He was the no. 4 shooting guard in the class according to 247Sports. Battle had taken his official visit at Michigan on May 7. At the time of his signing, Michigan had the top 2016 recruiting class with Battle and a pair of centers (Jon Teske and Austin Davis). Although at the time of Battle's signing, the entire set of scholarships for the class of 2016 seemed to be allocated, some sources reported that Michigan was expected to continue to lure point guards like Cassius Winston and Devearl Ramsey to play with Battle. Battle was Michigan's most highly regarded commitment since Mitch McGary, who committed to Michigan in 2011. On June 19, Battle decommitted from Michigan and scheduled an official visit to Syracuse. On July 13, he committed to Syracuse.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Battle averaged 11.3 points per game as a freshman. As a sophomore, he was a second team 2017–18 All-ACC selection.
