paragraph: Jupiter Bokondji

paragraph: Jupiter Bokondji (born 1965) is a musician from Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He and his band, Okwess International, released their first album, "Hotel Univers", in May 2013 in the United Kingdom. The band was created in 1990, and they toured the African continent. However, at the same time that their popularity grew, a civil war broke out in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Some band members fled to Europe to escape violence, but Bokondji stayed in Kinshasa. As the war died down, his popularity grew again, and in 2006 he was featured in the documentary "Jupiter's Dance". This brought him to the attention of U.K. producers and musicians, which led to him joining the African Express tour, the production of "Hotel Univers", and performing at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival.

paragraph: Bokondji's sound is a combination of Afropop, traditional Congolese rhythms, funk, and rock music. He calls this distinct sound "Bofenia Rock". His lyrics often carry political or social messages, including criticisms of the DRC government as well as positive encouragement for Africans to better realise their individual talent and potential.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Bokondji was born in Kinshasa. His father was a Congolese diplomat, and his grandmother was a traditional healer. His grandmother got him started in music as he attended ceremonies and funerals with her to play percussion instruments like drums. Later, his father was posted to the embassy in East Berlin, and the family moved to Germany.

paragraph: It was in Germany that Bokondji started his band, Der Neger, which combined his native Mongo music style with the European rock style of his German bandmates. His father's posting eventually ended, and the family moved back to Kinshasa in the 1980s. Bokondji traveled around the country listening to music from different tribes and solidifying his own style. He formed an orchestra called Bongofolk in 1984 and Okwess International in 1990.

paragraph: Section::::International Breakthrough.

paragraph: French filmmakers Renaud Barret and Florent de la Tullaye met Bokondji in 2004, and he inspired them to create the documentary "Jupiter's Dance", which was released in 2006. The film featured music from Okwess as well as Staff Benda Bilili, another band in which Bokondji is involved. This led to more connections in the international music industry, and Bokondji was invited to join the African Express tour in 2012. The tour puts African and U.K. artists together on a train that tours around Britain, giving performances and promoting cultural exchange. Also in 2012, Bokondji was involved with the DRC Music Project with Oxfam. This allowed him to work with Damon Albarn, of Blur and Gorillaz fame. The band performed at the UK's Womad festival in 2012 and at the Glastonbury festival in 2013.

paragraph: Lorenzo da Ripafratta

paragraph: Blessed Lorenzo da Ripafratta (1373 - 27 September 1456) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious from the Order of Preachers. He was born to nobles in Pisa and served as a novice master in Cortona in the latter half of his career while distinguishing himself in aiding the ill during times of the plague in both Pistoia and Fabriano.

paragraph: He was beatified on 4 April 1851 when Pope Pius IX approved that there existed an enduring and local 'cultus' - or popular devotion - to the late friar.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Lorenzo da Ripafratta was born in 1373 in Ripafratta, Pisa to nobles who had the task of guarding the town's outer defenses.

paragraph: He assumed residence at the Santa Caterina convent in Pisa in 1396 after joining the Order of Preachers and receiving their habit. He served as the novice master in Cortona from 1402 (until relocation to Pistoia later) and would there oversee the spiritual formation of the likes of Blessed Angelico and Saint Antoninus of Florence. He distinguished himself in aiding the victims of the plague in both Pistoia and Fabriano. Fra Lorenzo became known for his harsh methods of personal penance and underwent long fasts and vigils. Fra Lorenzo was also called to help in the reform movement of the order that Blessed Giovanni Dominici began and led. He moved to the convent of San Domenico in Pistoia after being made its vicar-general. He continued to maintain correspondence with Saint Antoninus as he felt that being the Archbishop of Florence was a difficult task and that the saint would need to hear from friends.

paragraph: In the later decades of his life he suffered pain in one of his legs and endured it with remarkable resilience as a penitential sign. He died on 27 September 1456.

paragraph: Section::::Beatification.

paragraph: The late friar was beatified on 4 April 1851 after Pope Pius IX confirmed that the late religious had a spontaneous and enduring local 'cultus' - otherwise noted as longstanding veneration - that still existed as a testament to the late friar's reputation for holiness.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Early career.

paragraph: Harris was drafted in the first round of the secondary phase of the 1970 Major League Baseball Draft by the Oakland Athletics. In July 1972 he was traded to the Texas Rangers, and made his major league debut for them the following day. He spent the rest of the season as the Rangers' regular second baseman, replacing Lenny Randle. Harris went his first 35 at-bats without a base hit, the major league record for most consecutive at-bats at the beginning of a career by a position player without a base hit.

paragraph: The following season, , the Rangers moved Harris to center field, replacing Joe Lovitto. In his first, and what would prove to be only, season as a regular, Harris batted .249 with 8 home runs. That offseason, Harris and Bill Madlock were traded to the Chicago Cubs for future Hall-of-Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins.

paragraph: Harris started the season back at second base, where he was the starter for most of the first half of the season. However, after hitting just .195 in 62 games, Harris season was ended midway through due to knee surgery. He was replaced by Dave Rosello and Billy Grabarkewitz. Harris spent on the Cubs' bench, being used mostly as a pinch hitter and batting .179. That winter, he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for infielder Mick Kelleher.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Journeyman.

paragraph: Harris spent the next three seasons with the Cardinals and then the San Francisco Giants, serving as a utilityman, playing all three outfield positions along with second base, third base, and shortstop . He was signed to a minor league contract by the Milwaukee Brewers. After a season back in the minors, Harris played in 34 games for the Brewers in 1980 to close out his major league career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Japan.

paragraph: Harris became a free agent after the 1980 season, and for 1981 he signed with the Buffaloes. That season, he batted .268 with 22 home runs and 74 RBI, all of which would have been MLB career highs. The following season, while he batted .272, his power declined, and Harris totaled just 9 home runs and 35 RBI. After another decline the following season with injuries and a .198 average, Harris' Japanese career was done. He played one final season with the Louisville Redbirds in the Cardinals' organization before retiring.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Overview.

paragraph: Harris wound up playing 579 games in the majors, and was a true utilityman. He played at least 27 games at six different positions, with the largest number, 212, coming at second base.

paragraph: Tuman bay II

paragraph: Al-Ashraf Tuman bay better known as Tuman bay II succeeded as Sultan of Egypt during the final period of Mamluk rule in Egypt, prior to its conquest by the Ottoman Empire. He became sultan after the defeat of his predecessor, Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri by Ottoman Sultan Selim I at the Battle of Marj Dabiq in 1516.

paragraph: As a Circassian, like his predecessors having been in early youth a domestic slave of the palace, he gradually rose to be emir of a hundred, and then prime minister, an office he held until the departure of Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri, who left him in charge of Cairo. The Caliph Muhammad Al-Mutawakkil III having remained behind with Selim I after defeat of Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri, Tuman bay II was now inaugurated as sultan, but without pomp or ceremony, the royal insignia having been lost in battle. It was a dark and thankless dignity to which, now at the age of 40, he was called; Syria gone, the troops in disorder, the emirs distracted, the Mamluks as a mercenary horde. Yet he ruled well for the time he held the throne and was popular throughout the land. In the course of time, the fugitive chiefs, with Emir Janberdi Al-Ghazali, arrived from Damascus; but another month elapsed before an army could be organized.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: His name was derived from Turkic tümen ("ten thousand") + bay ("chief"). In Turkic, the name Tuman bay

paragraph: literally means "chief of 10,000 (soldiers)."

paragraph: Section::::Gaza campaign of 1516.

paragraph: Meanwhile, Tripoli, Safed and other Syrian strongholds, besides Damascus, had fallen into Ottoman hands. It was thus the beginning of December before the force now raised at Cairo, delayed and diminished by the insatiable demands and waywardness of the Mamluks, set out under Emir Janberdi Al-Ghazali in the forlorn hope of saving Gaza; but before it reached its destination, Gaza had already fallen, and the army was beaten back. During Emir Janberdi Al-Ghazali’s absence, an Embassy arrived with a dispatch from Selim I who, boasting of his victories, and the adhesion of the Caliph Al-Mutawakkil III, judges and other leaders who had joined him, demanded of the Sultan that his supremacy should be acknowledged both in the Coinage and the public Prayers. He said;

paragraph: Though the envoy and his followers were hooted and mishandled in the city, Sultan Tuman bay II was inclined to fall in with the Selim I's demand; but his infatuated emirs overcame his better judgment, and the Ottoman messengers were put to death. Tidings of disaster now followed rapidly on one another. Terror and dismay pervaded Cairo. The treachery of Khayr Baig and many other emirs made the prospect all the darker. The inhabitants of Gaza having, on a false report of Egyptian victory, attacked the Turkish garrison, whereby Selim's order in great numbers massacred. The news of Emir Janberdi Al-Ghazali's discomfiture increased the gloom; the more so as he, shortly after appearing, attributed the defeat not only to the numbers of the enemy but to the cowardice of his mercenary followers, while even his loyalty began to be suspected.

paragraph: Section::::Battle of Ridanieh.

paragraph: Sultan Tuman bay II now resolved himself to march out as far as "Salahia", and there meet the Turks wearied by the desert journey; but at the last yielded to his emirs who entrenched themselves at Ridanieh, a little way out of the city. By this time, the Ottomans having reached Arish, were marching unopposed by Salahia and Bilbeis to Khanqah; and on January 20 reached Birkat al-Hajj, a few hours from the capital. Two days later the main body confronted the Egyptian entrenchment; while a party was crossing the Mocattam Hill took them on the flank. The Battle of Ridanieh was fought January 22, 1517. Sultan Tuman bay II fought along with a band of devoted followers; he threw himself into the midst of the Turkish ranks and reached even to Selim's tent. But in the end, the Egyptians were routed and fled two miles (3 km) up the Nile. The Ottomans then entered the City of Cairo unopposed. They took the Citadel there and slew the entire Circassian garrison, while all around the streets became the scene of terrible outrage. Selim I himself occupied an island, Gezira Island (الجزيرة الوسطانية), close to Bulaq. The following day, his Vizier, entering the city, endeavored to stop the wild rapine of the troops; and the Caliph Al-Mutawakkil III, who had followed in Selim's train, led the public service invoking blessing on his name. The Caliph's prayer is thus given by Ibn Ayas;

paragraph: The following night, Sultan Tuman bay II reappeared and with his Bedouin allies took possession of the weakly garrisoned city, and at daylight drove back the Ottomans with great loss. The approaches were entrenched, and the Friday service once more solemnized in the name of the Egyptian Sultan. But at midnight the enemy again returned in overpowering force, scattered the Mamluks into their hiding-places, while the Sultan fled across the Nile to Giza, and eventually found refuge in Upper Egypt.

paragraph: Satisfied with this victory, Selim I, returning again to his island, had a red-and-white flag in token of amnesty hoisted over his tent. The Mamluks, however, were excluded from it. They were ruthlessly pursued, proclamation made that any sheltering them would be put to death, and 800 thus discovered were beheaded. Many citizens were spared at the entreaty of the Caliph, who now occupied a more prominent place than ever under the Egyptian Sultanate. The son of Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri was received with distinction and granted the college founded by the Sultan his father as a dwelling-place.

paragraph: Soon after, the amnesty was extended to all the hidden emirs, who as they appeared were upbraided by Selim I, and then distributed in cells throughout the Citadel. Emir Janberdi Al-Ghazali who fought bravely at the Battle of Ridanieh, but now cast himself at Selim's feet, was alone received with honor and even given a command to fight against the Bedouins. There is a great diversity of opinion as to when Janberdi, either openly or by collusion, took the Turkish side. The presumption is that he was faithful up to the Battle of Ridanieh, and then seeing the cause hopeless retired and went over to the Ottomans about the end of January. Having strongly garrisoned the Citadel, Selim I now took up his residence there, and for security had a detachment quartered at the foot of the great entrance gate.

paragraph: Section::::Guerrilla campaign from Giza.

paragraph: Sultan Tuman bay II had again assumed the offensive. Well supported by Mamluks and Bedouins, he had taken up a threatening attitude there, and stopped the supplies from Upper Egypt. At the last, however, wearied with the continued struggle, he made advances and offered to recognize Selim I’s supremacy if the invaders would retire. Selim thereupon commissioned the Caliph Al-Mutawakkil III with the four Qadis to accompany a Turkish deputation for the purpose of arranging terms, but the Caliph, disliking the duty, sent his Deputy instead. When Tuman bay II heard the conditions offered, he would gladly have accepted them; but was overruled by his emirs, who were distrusting Selim I, slew the Turkish members of the embassy with one of the Qadis, and thus stopped negotiations.Selim I upon this revenge himself by the equally savage act of putting to death the emirs imprisoned in the Citadel, to the number of 57.

paragraph: Sultan Tuman bay II who had still a considerable following now returned to Giza; and Selim I, finding difficulty in the passage of his troops, was obliged to build a bridge of boats across the Nile. Tuman bay II gathered his forces under the Pyramids of Giza, and there, towards the end of March, the two armies met. Though well supported by his General Shadi Baig he was, after two days of fighting, beaten and sought refuge with a Bedouin chief whose life he once had saved, but who now ungratefully betrayed him into Turkish hands. He was carried in fetters into Selim I's presence, who upbraided him for his obstinate hostility and the murder of his messengers.

paragraph: Section::::Capture and death.

paragraph: The captive Sultan held a noble front; he denied complicity in the assassination, and spoke out so fearlessly on the justice of his cause and duty to fight for the honor and independence of his people, that Selim I was inclined to spare him, and carry him in his train to Constantinople. But the traitor Khayr Baig, and even Janberdi Al-Ghazali, urged that so long as he survived, the Ottoman rule would be in jeopardy. The argument was specious; and so the unfortunate Tuman bay II was cast into prison, and shortly after, hanged as a malefactor at the City Gate on April 15, 1517. The body remained suspended thus three days, and then was buried.

paragraph: General Shadi Baig, similarly betrayed, was at the same time put to death. The sad death of Sultan Tuman bay II created such a sensation that an attempt was made by an Emir and a body of devoted followers to assassinate Selim I by night. But the Palace guard was on the alert, or the desperate design might have succeeded. Tuman Bay II, forty years of age, had reigned but three months and a half. He left no family; his widow, a daughter of Akbercly, was tortured for her treasure.

paragraph: Both as Governor during Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri’s absence, and during his short Sultanate, he proved himself brave, generous and just, and his death was mourned throughout the land. Last, of the race, he was one of the best. And so with the death of Tuman bay II, the Mamluk dynasty came to its end.

paragraph: As late as 1968, some Copts still observed the anniversary of Tuman's death as "Holy Friday."

paragraph: Helen Kendrick Johnson (January 4, 1844 – January 3, 1917) was an American writer, poet, and prominent activist opposing the women's suffrage movement.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Helen Kendrick Johnson was born in Hamilton, New York to her father, Asahel Clark Kendrick a professor in Greek at University of Rochester and mother Anne Elizabeth Kendrick (born Hopkins) who died in 1851 after the birth of Helen's third sister. After the death of her mother, Helen aged 7 spent much of her childhood living with her aunt in Clinton, New York until 1860 when she spent time in Savannah, Georgia with her father's brothers leaving in 1861 due to the outbreak of the American civil war. In 1863 she enrolled as a student in the Oread Institute, in Worcester, Massachusetts and studied there until June, 1864. After the end of the civil war she briefly returned to Savannah and spent the rest of her childhood between there, an aunt's house in Utica, New York and her father's house in Rochester, New York where she remained until her marriage.

Rossiter was author of a pamphlet entitled, "Why Women Do Not Want the Ballot." In 1897 Helen wrote what is often considered the best summary of the arguments against woman suffrage: "Woman and the Republic," in which she argued that women didn't need the vote to establish more legal, economic and other equality and that women's role in the domestic sphere was essential for maintenance of the American republic. She was openly critical of the writings of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her work The Woman's Bible linking it to radicalism and socialism. During her time as an anti-suffragette activist she addressed several legislative committee in Albany and Washington and wrote many newspaper articles and pamphlets on the subject. In 1910 she founded the Guidon Club, an anti-suffragette organization dedicated to the study of politics and government.

paragraph: Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Scipio Nasica

paragraph: Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Cornelianus Scipio Nasica (c. 100/98 BC – 46 BC), in modern scholarship often referred to as Metellus Scipio, was a Roman consul and military commander in the Late Republic. During the civil war between Julius Caesar and the senatorial faction led by Pompeius Magnus ("Pompey the Great"), he remained a staunch optimate. He led troops against Caesar's forces, mainly in the battles of Pharsalus and Thapsus, where he was defeated. He later committed suicide. Ronald Syme called him "the last Scipio of any consequence in Roman history."

paragraph: Section::::Family connections and name.

paragraph: Metellus Scipio was born Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica. His grandfather was the Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Serapio who was consul in 111 BCE; his father Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica (born 128 BCE) married Licinia Crassa, daughter of the Lucius Licinius Crassus who was consul in 95 BCE. Metellus Scipio's father died not long after his praetorship (c. 93 BCE), and was survived by two sons and two daughters. The brother was adopted by their grandfather Crassus, but left little mark on history.

paragraph: Publius Scipio, as he was referred to in contemporary sources early in his life, was adopted in adulthood through the testament of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius, consul in 80 BCE and "pontifex maximus". He retained his patrician status: "Scipio's ancestry," notes Syme, "was unmatched for splendour." As Jerzy Linderski has shown at length, this legal process constitutes adoption only in a loose sense; Scipio becomes a Caecilius Metellus in name while inheriting the estate of Metellus Pius, but was never his "son" while the "pontifex maximus" was alive. He was called "Metellus Scipio" but also sometimes just "Scipio" even after his adoption. The official form of his name as evidenced in a decree of the senate was "Q. Caecilius Q. f. Fab. Metellus Scipio."

paragraph: Scipio married Aemilia Lepida, daughter of Mamercus Aemilius Lepidus Livianus (consul 77 BCE), but was not without rival in seeking to marry Aemilia Lepida. The virginal Cato had also wanted to marry Aemilia but lost out:

paragraph: The couple had one son, a Metellus Scipio who seems to have died when he was only 18. Another son may have been born around 70, or a son may have been adopted. The couple's much more famous daughter was born around that time as well. Scipio first married off the celebrated Cornelia Metella to Publius Crassus, the son of Marcus Licinius Crassus. After Publius's premature death at Carrhae, Scipio decided to succeed Caesar as the father-in-law of Pompeius, who was at least thirty years older than Cornelia. The marriage is one of the acts by which Pompeius severed his alliance to Caesar and declared himself the champion of the optimates. He and Scipio were consuls together in 52.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: Cicero names "P. Scipio" among the young "nobiles" on his defence team when Sextus Roscius was prosecuted in 80 BCE. He is placed in the company of Marcus Messalla and Metellus Celer, both future consuls.

paragraph: Metellus Scipio has been listed as tribune of the "plebs" in 59 BCE, but his patrician status argues against his holding the office. It is possible that Scipio's 'adoption' into a plebeian "gens" may have qualified him for a tribunate on a technicality. He was possibly curule aedile in 57 BCE, when he presented funeral games in honour of his adopted father's death six years earlier. He was praetor, most likely in 55 BCE, during the second joint consulship of Pompeius and Marcus Crassus.

paragraph: In 53 BCE, he was interrex with Marcus Valerius Messalla. He became consul with Pompeius in 52 BCE, the year he arranged the marriage of his newly widowed daughter to him.

paragraph: Indisputably aristocratic and conservative, Metellus Scipio had been at least symbolically a counterweight to the power of the so-called triumvirate before the death of Crassus in 53 BCE. "Opportune deaths," notes Syme, "had enhanced his value, none remaining now of the Metellan consuls."

paragraph: He is known to have been a member of the College of Pontiffs by 57 BCE, and was probably nominated upon the death of his adoptive father in 63 BCE and subsequently elected.

paragraph: Section::::Role in civil war.

paragraph: In January 49 BCE, Metellus Scipio persuaded the senate to issue the ultimatum to Caesar that made war inevitable. That same year, he became proconsul of the province of Syria. In Syria and in the province of Asia, where he took up winter quarters, he used often oppressive means to gather ships, troops, and money:

paragraph: Scipio put to death Alexander of Judaea, and was acclaimed "Imperator" for "alleged" victories in the Amanus Mountains — as noted disparagingly by Caesar.

paragraph: In 48 BCE, he brought his forces from Asia to Greece, where he manoeuvred against Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus and Lucius Cassius until the arrival of Pompeius. At the Battle of Pharsalus, he commanded the centre. After the optimates' defeat by Caesar, Metellus fled to Africa. With the support of his former rival-in-romance Cato, he wrested the chief command of Pompeius's forces from the loyal Attius Varus, probably in early 47 BCE. In 46 BCE, he held command at the Battle of Thapsus "without skill or success," and was defeated along with Cato. After the defeat, he tried to escape to the Iberian Peninsula to continue the fight, but was cornered by the fleet of Publius Sittius. He committed suicide by stabbing himself so he would not fall into the hands of his enemies.

paragraph: Section::::Role in civil war.:Dignity in death.

paragraph: Facing death, Metellus Scipio achieved an uncharacteristic dignity, famously departing from his soldiers with a nonchalant "Imperator se bene habet" ("Your general's just fine"). These last words elicited strong praise from the Stoic moral philosopher Seneca:

paragraph: Redmond Herrity () is an Irish sculptor from Letterkenny, County Donegal.

paragraph: Redmond Herrity, who works from his home place of Letterkenny in County Donegal, Ireland, has traveled extensively, creating private and public commissions. During his time in India in the late 1990s, he was inspired by street sculptors and in a later trip to Australia worked with stone for the first time. He graduated from Leitrim Sculpture Centre in Ireland in 2001 and later worked in Carrara, Italy, where he began mastering the ancient techniques of marble portraiture. From classical portraits to modern sculpture, Redmond’s work spans centuries. In 2014 Herrity worked on a series named “Recycled Limestone” that depicts recyclable items like a beer tin or a folded milk carton.

paragraph: Section::::Works on display.

paragraph: His works include the Celtic Cross in Letterkenny. He came to the attention of the national media for his sculpture of Our Lady, which can be seen in St Mary's Church, Rasharkin, County Antrim. He also constructed the memorial to the Miami Showband which is located at the Hugh Lane Gallery on Parnell Square. He was thanked by former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern for this work.

He was distinguished by his contemporaries for his excellence of his character and his cultivation of philosophy and the liberal arts and is considered by some historians to have been the greatest of the kings of Cappadocia.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ariarathes V was the son of Ariarathes IV of Cappadocia, and a Greek mother, Antiochis, who was the daughter of the Seleucid King Antiochus III. According to Livy, he was educated in Rome; but this account may perhaps refer to another Ariarathes. Rather, Ariarathes Eusebes probably spent his youth studying in Athens, where he seems to have become a friend of the future king of Pergamon, Attalus II Philadelphus.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: In consequence of rejecting, at the wish of the Romans, a marriage with Laodice V, the sister of Demetrius I Soter, the latter made war upon Ariarathes, and brought forward Orophernes of Cappadocia, his brother and one of the supposed sons of the late king, as a claimant of the throne. Ariarathes was deprived of his kingdom, and fled to Rome in around 158 BC. He was restored to his throne by the Romans, who, however, allowed Orophernes to reign jointly with him, as is expressly stated by Appian, and implied by Polybius. The joint government, however, did not last long; for, shortly afterwards, Ariarathes was named as sole king.

paragraph: In 154, Ariarathes assisted the king of Pergamon, Attalus II, in his war against Prusias II of Bithynia, and sent his son Demetrius in command of his forces. Ariarathes was killed in 130, during the war of the Romans against Aristonicus of Pergamon. In return for the assistance and support Ariarathes has provided to the Romans on that occasion, Lycaonia and Cilicia were added by the Romans to the dominions of his family.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and succession.

paragraph: By Ariarathes' wife Nysa of Cappadocia (who was the daughter of King Pharnaces I of Pontus) he had six children. However, all but one of the children were killed by their mother, so that she might obtain the government of the kingdom. After she had been put to death by the people on account of her cruelty, her only surviving son succeeded to the crown as Ariarathes VI of Cappadocia.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Ariarathes was a strong philhellene; he was honoured with Athenian citizenship. He refounded the two Cappadocian towns of Mazaca and Tyana with the Greek name of Eusebia. He was generous in his donations to Athens and its institutions; an inscription remains by an association of professional actors which thanks him and his wife for his patronage. He corresponded with the Greek philosopher Carneades, as Diogenes Laërtius attests.

paragraph: Ray Abeyta

paragraph: Ray Abeyta (1956-2014) was an American painter of Basque descent. He was born Raymond Martìn Abeyta, on November 13, 1956 in the village of Santa Cruz in the Española Valley, New Mexico. Abeyta's paintings are a hybrid of ancient and contemporary Latino subject matter in the Cuzco School style of Madonna painting, lowrider culture, New Mexican traditional retablo painting, and representations of the colonialist encounters between Europeans and Mesoamericans. Abeyta died in a motorcycle accident at age 58.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Abeyta received a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the University of New Mexico in 1982.

In 1989 he met his future wife, Alyssa Jill Glantz (d. 2017), a business woman and community organizer, whom he married in 1992. They had two children, Elija and Isabela. They established Union Pool, Hotel Delmano and other venues in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Abeyta was a motorcycle and vintage automobile enthusiast. He was the co-owner of Works Engineering, a motorcycle repair shop in Brooklyn. He was affectionately known as the honorary "Mayor" of Williamsburg.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: The iconography of Abeyta's paintings has been described as a mixture of "colonial, baroque, indigenous and pop culture" references. Abeyta's work was the subject of numerous one person exhibitions, including major exhibitions at the Museum of New Mexico, and the National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum. His work is held in the permanent collections of these institutions. His work is a significant contribution to the Southwest, and was included in the exhibition, "Painting the Divine: Images of Mary in the New World" at the New Mexico History Museum. He was influenced by Spanish Baroque painting, Mexican retablo and ex voto paintings as well as other vernacular visual sources such as codexes, maps and nautical charts. His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions, including the San Francisco Mexican Museum, the Rotunda Gallery (Brooklyn) among others. Abeyta's paintings are represented by the Owings Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

paragraph: Jupiter Mosman

paragraph: John Joseph (Jupiter) Mosman (1861-1945) was an Aboriginal Australian prospector, one of the group of four who discovered gold at Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia. It became one of the premier goldfields of Australia, yielding £23,000,000 worth of gold. Mosman is credited with having found the first gold-bearing stone.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Mosman was born about 1861 in North-Western Queensland. His tribal name is unknown. As a small boy, he came to Kynuna Station. In the late 1860s, pastoralist Hugh Mosman of Tarbrax Station visited Kynuna and liked the boy so much that Hugh Mosman arranged for the boy to come to live at Tarbrax with him. He was named Jupiter by Hugh Mosman because his eyes were "large, luminous, and as limpid as a planet". He became known as Jupiter Mosman and acted as Hugh Mosman's servant.

paragraph: Section::::Prospecting.

paragraph: There had been discoveries of gold at Ravenswood and other places in North Queensland. Hugh Mosman decided to search for gold, selling Tarbrax to Duncan McIntyre of Dalgonally. Having travelled to Ravenswood with Jupiter, Hugh Mosman became acquainted with the prospector George Clarke and together with a Mr Fraser commenced a prospecting expedition in 1871. The party left Ravenswood working their way toward the Seventy Mile Pinnacle at Mount Leyshon, after which they swung back towards the high bluff, now known as Towers Hill, as it was an easily seen landmark. As they rode through the "Gap", camping on a creek on what is now the town side of the hill, Mosman was attracted by a stone in which he saw "color". The party soon realised that the ground was covered in gold-bearing brownstone quartz. They staked out a mining claim called "The North Australian" and found £6000 worth of gold on the surface. On 2 January 1872 they returned to Ravenswood where they formally registered their claim. This triggered a gold rush to what is now Charters Towers.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Hugh Mosman and his white companions made much money from the Charters Towers gold fields, but soon went their separate ways. Hugh Mosman stayed longest but, after he lost his arm while using explosives, decided to retire to Sydney, taking Jupiter with him. There Jupiter was sent to school in Newtown, and afterwards to Lyndhurst College, Sydney, where he was baptised as Roman Catholic and christened John Joseph. There he did well at sports such as cricket, football and running. At cricket, he was a medium fast bowler, a good fielder, and a sound batsman. He could run 100 yards in 11 seconds. Hugh Mosman was a keen horseman who enjoyed competing in steeplechase races. He taught Jupiter how to ride and about horse racing more generally. They rarely opened a gate, preferring to jump their horses over it.

paragraph: Section::::Pastoral work.

paragraph: After Jupiter had completed his schooling, Hugh Mosman and Jupiter returned to Charters Towers. When Hugh Mosman left Charters Towers in 1891, Jupiter decided he would join Hugh Mosman's nephew as a drover, taking a mob of cattle owned by Messrs Collins and White from Beaudesert near Kynuna to Wodonga in Victoria. The journey took six months and five days and no beasts were lost.

paragraph: Later Mosman worked for Messrs Rourke and Monroe at Lolwoth Station at Dotswood. He worked at a number of other pastoral stations, including Wombiana, and Stockyard Creek with Messrs Soilleux and Roberts.

paragraph: When he had the opportunity, Mosman went prospecting and is credited with discovering other mineral-bearing areas.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In his final years, Mosman was cared for at the Eventide Home nursing home in Charters Towers. Aboriginal people were not normally admitted to the home, but the people of Charters Towers successfully petitioned the Queensland Government to allow him residence there because of his historic association with Charters Towers.

paragraph: Mosman died at Eventide nursing home at Charters Towers on 5 December 1945 aged approximately 84 years. His funeral took place on 6 December 1945.

paragraph: He was one of the only two men remaining alive who were on Charters Towers in its beginnings, the other being Sir Thomas Buckland, who was then an assayer at Millchester.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In December 1953, a large rock monument honouring Mosman as the founder of Charters Towers was unveiled in the front yard of Syd N. Williams opposite the Charters Towers Hospital. The unveiling was conducted by local Aboriginal leader King Kiara, son of Barney, of the Dalleburra people, who wore his breastplate for the occasion.

paragraph: A large boomerang-shaped monument was erected in memory of Mosman in Lissner Park, Charters Towers ().

paragraph: The Jupiter Mosman Cooperative Society provide accommodation services for Indigenous people in Charters Towers.

paragraph: Joaquín Abati

paragraph: Joaquín Abatí y Díaz (29 June 1865, in Madrid – 30 July 1936) was a Spanish writer and Zarzuela Librettist.

paragraph: Section::::Education and career.

paragraph: Joaquín Abatí was born to an Italian father and a Spanish mother. He studied law and, though licensed, he never practised. He published a book entitled "Respuestas a los Temas de Derecho Administrativo" (Responses to Issues of Administrative Law), intended to help those who had to deal with these issues.Curiously, he never managed to practise any of the principles although the book was helpful to many of those who had used his book. For this reason he decided to leave the legal profession and devote himself to literature, that appealed to him more.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic career.

paragraph: Abatí's first play was the comic sketch "Entre doctores" (Among doctors), which premiered at the Teatro Lara in 1892. This was followed by works from simple monologues, humorous in nature, such as " El Conde Sisebuto" (The Sisebuto Count) and "Las cien doncellas" (The hundred maidens) to pieces with three or more acts, some in collaboration with Carlos Arniches.

paragraph: He was a prolific author and achieved successes and produced more than 120 titles, resulting in him being regarded as a writer of the highest rank in his time. His works include "El debut de la chica" (The girl's debut), "La conquista de México" (The Conquest of Mexico), Doña Juanita (written in collaboration with Francisco Flores Garcia), "Genio y figura" (1910), "No te ofendas" (No offense), "Beatriz" (1920) (both with Carlos Arniches), "España nueva" (New Spain), "El Conde de Lavapies" (The Count of Lavapies) and "La Viuda alegre" (The Merry Widow).

paragraph: He excelled in his role as author of operettas, a field in which he collaborated with other authors such as Carlos Arniches and Antonio Paso.

paragraph: Several of his plays were intended as operetta booklets, such as "Los amarillos" (The yellow ones), a one-act piece, "La corte de Risalia" (The Risalia Court) in two acts, "La mujer artificial" (The artificial woman), "La mulata" (The mulatto woman) and his most famous work, "El asombro de Damasco" (The wonder of Damascus), which he wrote in collaboration with Antonio Cano Paso and to which Maestro Pablo Luna put music and premiered it in 1916.

paragraph: Section::::Legal career.

paragraph: Abatí returned to practising law and became professor at the Real Academia de Jurisprudencia y Legislación.

paragraph: Neferkasokar

paragraph: Neferkasokar (Ancient Egyptian Nefer-Ka-Seker; which means “beautiful soul of Sokar” or “the soul of Sokar is complete”) was an Ancient Egyptian king (pharaoh) who may have ruled in Egypt during the 2nd dynasty. Very little is known about him, since no contemporary records about him have been found. Rather his name has been found in later sources.

paragraph: Section::::Name sources.

paragraph: Neferkasokar appears in the Saqqara king list from the tomb of the high priest Tjuneroy, where he is recorded as succeeding king Neferkare I and proceeds king Hudjefa I in the ninth cartouche.

paragraph: He also appears in the Royal Canon of Turin as the successor of a king "Neferka" and as the predecessor of king Hudjefa I. His cartouche can be found in column III, line 1. The Turin papyrus records him having a reign of 8 years and 3 months.

paragraph: Furthermore, Neferkasokar's name appears on a steatite cylinder seal of unknown provenance. The inscription bears the king's name twice within royal cartouches. The first cartouche shows the name of the god Sokar on top, whilst the second cartouche places the syllable "Neferka" above the god's name. A guiding inscription says "Meri-netjeru", which means "beloved one of the gods". This titulary was common from the Middle Kingdom onwards, thus the cylinder seal is not likely to originate from the 2nd dynasty. Most Egyptologists date the object to the 13th dynasty. Some Egyptologists also question the authenticity of the seal.

paragraph: Neferkasokar also plays an important role in a papyrus originating from the Middle Kingdom. The text was translated around 237 BC into demotic language and is preserved in papyrus "pWien D6319". The papyrus gives instructions on how to build temples and how the temple priests should perform their tasks.

paragraph: The papyrus also includes a story that royal scribes under the supervision of prince Djedefhor had discovered an old document in a forgotten chamber which was sealed by king Neferkasokar. The discovered papyrus contained a report of a famine that affected Egypt for seven years and king Neferkasokar was instructed by a celestial oracle through a dream to restore all Egyptian temples. When the king finished his mission successfully, the Nile started flowing normally again. As a result, Neferkasokar issues a decree which is rediscovered by prince Djedefhor.

paragraph: Egyptologist and linguist Joachim Friedrich Quack later gave this treatise the name “Book of the Temple”.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Very little is known about Neferkasokar's reign. Egyptologists such as Iorwerth Eiddon Stephen Edwards and Walter Bryan Emery think that Neferkasokar ruled only in Lower Egypt, since his name appeared in the Sakkara king list, but is missing from the Abydos king list while the Sakkara king lists reflect Memphite traditions. Neferkasokar is also thought to have ruled in Lower Egypt around the same time that kings such as Peribsen and Sekhemib-Perenmaat ruled in Upper Egypt. This assumption would be consistent with the view of a number of Egyptologists that at that time Egypt was divided into two parts. The theory of a divided realm since the end of king Ninetjer´s reign is based on a study of the name of king Peribsen, whose name is connected to the Ombite deity Seth to show that he came from Ombos and ruled an area that included Ombos. Peribsen himself is contemporaneously documented in materials found in the Thinite region, but was excluded from documentation associated with the Memphites. His case is therefore corresponding to Neferkasokar´s case, but for Lower Egypt. Neferkasokar´s predecessors may have been king Senedj and king Neferkara I, his successor may have been king Hudjefa I.
