paragraph: Hugh Pollard (intelligence officer)

paragraph: Major Hugh Bertie Campbell Pollard (born London 6 January 1888: died Midhurst district March, 1966) was an author, firearms expert, and a British SOE officer. He is chiefly known for his intelligence work during the Irish War of Independence and for the events of July 1936, when he and Cecil Bebb flew General Francisco Franco from the Canary Islands to Morocco, thereby helping to trigger the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. He was the author of many published works on weaponry, in particular on sporting firearms.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Ireland 1919-1921.

paragraph: During the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921), Pollard was Press Officer of the Information Section of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC). Together with the Section secretary, Captain William Darling, he produced the "Weekly Summary", a weekly newspaper distributed to the police forces in Ireland. The crudeness of this paper and its ambivalent attitude toward reprisals 'resulted in much negative publicity for the Crown forces and the Irish Administration'.

paragraph: He was also directly involved in two particularly bungled attempts at 'black propaganda'. One was the attempt to produce and distribute a fake version of the "Irish Bulletin", the gazette of the Irish Republicans. The fraud was quickly exposed and the reliability of information emanating from Crown sources in Ireland severely damaged. A second incident involved the bizarre attempt to fake a military engagement in County Kerry (reported as the 'Battle of Tralee'). The press-release included photographs of the purported scene of the battle. These were republished in a number of Irish and English papers before the actual location was identified as Vico Road in Dalkey, a quiet seaside Dublin suburb. The entire event had been staged by Pollard and Captain Garro-Jones, a colleague of Major Cecil Street, and was without foundation. In December 1920 in the House of Commons, the British government denied any knowledge of these pictures or the circumstances in which they were produced.

paragraph: Following the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Pollard recorded his interpretation of the history of Irish nationalist organisations in "Secret Societies of Ireland, Their Rise and Progress". He alleged that the Lord Mayor of Cork, Tomás Mac Curtain, had been assassinated by the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), rather than by forces acting for the British Crown.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Spanish Civil War.

paragraph: Pollard was a devout Roman Catholic and a supporter of the conservative side in Spain in the years leading up to the Spanish Civil War. He and a former MI6 colleague Cecil Bebb played an important role in the events leading up to the outbreak of hostilities.

paragraph: During lunch at Simpson's-in-the-Strand, Douglas Francis Jerrold, the conservative Roman Catholic editor of the "English Review" (and also a British intelligence officer), met with the journalist Luis Bolín, London correspondent of the monarchist and right wing newspaper "ABC" and later Franco's senior press advisor. They conceived a plan to move General Franco from the Canary Islands to Spanish Morocco, where the Army of Africa was stationed. The Madrid government recognized that Franco was a danger to the Spanish Republic, and had sent him to the Canaries to keep him away from political intrigue. If a Spanish plane flew to the islands, the authorities would most likely be alerted, but a British aircraft would attract little or no attention. Jerrold and Bolin then persuaded Pollard (plus his daughter Diana and her friend Dorothy Watson) to join the enterprise as "cover".

paragraph: They charted a de Havilland Dragon Rapide aircraft, which flew out of Croydon airport, London, at 07.15 on the morning of July 11, 1936, piloted by Bebb, and also carrying Pollard, Diana, and Dorothy. The aircraft was bound for the Canaries. Pollard and Bebb delivered Franco to Tetuan on July 19, and the General quickly set about organising Spanish Moroccan troops to participate in the coming coup.

paragraph: It is possible that British intelligence services may have been complicit in the flight. However it is not clear yet how much the British government knew or was involved in these activities, or if the Britons involved were in fact acting on their own. Britain remained officially neutral during the Spanish Civil War.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In 1940, once Franco had seized power, Pollard was appointed head of MI6's semi-autonomous ‘Section D’ in Madrid.

paragraph: Pollard listed his hobbies in "Who's Who" as "hunting and shooting". Douglas Jerrold of "The English Review" said of him that he "looked and behaved like a German Crown Prince and had a habit of letting off revolvers in any office he happened to visit".

paragraph: Pollard's personal SOE file has recently been released, revealing him to have been an experienced British intelligence officer. When considering Pollard for a place in SOE, one officer wrote: "Certain jobs Pollard apparently could do well, but he was definitely unreliable where money and drink was concerned". He was also a skilled linguist and an expert in firearms, and had a good deal of personal experience of wars and revolutions, such as those in Mexico and Morocco.

paragraph: Section::::Author and firearms expert.

paragraph: Pollard was a much-published expert on firearms, having written the 'small arms' section in the official War Office textbook. His history of the Second Battle of Ypres is still in print today.

paragraph: Chris Zabriskie

paragraph: Chris Zabriskie (born March 10, 1982 in Olympia, Washington) is an American composer and musician.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Chris Zabriskie got his musical start in a noise rock duo Struggleburger, but went solo unexpectedly at a show in 2001 when the other members of the band did not show up.

paragraph: In 2007, Zabriskie recorded "We Were Wrong" under the name lo-fi is sci-fi with Marc Sirdoreus (better known as Marc with a C). The music video for the first single, "The Script You Wrote is Terrible," won praise for its simple presentation and Zabriskie's deadpan performance.

paragraph: In 2009, he turned his attention towards instrumental music, first releasing "The Dark Glow of the Mountains". The album's stark electronic minimalism was a departure from his previous work. Two more instrumental albums, "I Am a Man Who Will Fight for Your Honor" and "Preludes" followed in the same year. He continues to release new ambient music on a regular basis.

paragraph: Zabriskie self-releases his albums on his website and is also a vocal supporter of BitTorrent and file sharing, and has said that he leaks his own records to various torrent sites in advance of their release dates. As of March 2009, Zabriskie offers free downloads of all of his music on his website. In 2011, Zabriskie joined WMFU's Free Music Archive and changed the Creative Commons license on his music to be much more permissive and open.

paragraph: Zabriskie is also an occasional filmmaker, with producing and editing work including music videos for John Vanderslice, as well as various short films and many of his own music videos. In 2010, he released a feature film, "Tretet", on his website, created using amateur footage of the 1939 New York World's Fair re-edited into what Zabriskie calls "a science-fiction film."

paragraph: Ptahshepses

paragraph: Ptahshepses was the vizier and son-in-law of the Fifth Dynasty pharaoh Nyuserre Ini. As such he was one of the most distinguished members of the royal court.

paragraph: Ptahshepses' mastaba complex in Abusir is considered by many to be the most extensive and architecturally unique non-royal tomb of the Old Kingdom.

paragraph: Section::::Discovery of the Mastaba.

paragraph: In 1843, Richard Lepsius of Berlin University designated the Abusir site next to the pyramid complex of Sahure as "pyramid no. XIX" and subsequently published this in his "Denkmaeler aus Aegypten und Aethiopien." Jacques de Morgan's excavation of the site in 1893 revealed the site was actually part of a mastaba. It was not until some seventy years later that the Czech Institute of Egyptology revived interest in the site with its discovery of the complete structure in a series of excavations from 1960 to 1974 led primarily by Zbyněk Žába and Abdu al-Qereti.

paragraph: Section::::Mastaba design.

paragraph: The mastaba of Ptahshepses was built in three phases. The entrance of the tomb, documented by de Morgan and confirmed by Zaba, is located in the northeast corner of the complex. It consists of two six-meter-high eight-stemmed fine white limestone columns shaped as lotuses, which supported a fine limestone architrave under slabs of limestone for a roof terrace. The columns represent the oldest known examples of their type from ancient Egypt.

paragraph: The entrance leads to a room with six-stemmed lotus columns, built in the second enlargement phase of the mastaba and was originally to serve as an entrance to the mastaba but was closed off in the third phase of enlargement. The walls of this room are decorated with scenes of boats and preparations for Ptahshepses' mortuary cult, as well as his biographical inscription. A narrow passageway containing pictures of Ptahshepses and animals being sacrificed leads to a chapel containing fragments of statues that once stood in three niches. The northern wall of the chapel bears reliefs showing Ptahshepses overseeing agricultural work and servants bearing offerings, and the southern wall, fisherman and herdsman bearing poultry offerings at Ptahshepses's feet. Near the narrow passageway is another relief depicting Ptahshepses' six sons walking. The name of the first son, now known to be Khafini, is chiseled off. Two sons shared the name Ptahshepses, while the other three were called Kahotep, Hemakhty, and Khenu.

paragraph: North of the chapel are four magazines containing cult vessels likely used in the chapel. The chapel opens into a twenty-limestone-pillared courtyard built in the third phase of enlargement. These columns bear life-sized pictures of Ptahshepses and are arranged in such a way to lead a visitor to the large altar in the center, to the original mastaba entrance, and ultimately to Ptahshepses' burial chamber. Additionally, the courtyard is decorated with reliefs, few of which have remained in situ. Southeast of the courtyard are the treasury and granary magazine complexes. The burial chamber is located in the northwest corner of the tomb. Although heavily robbed, two granite sarcophagi, a large one for Ptahshepses and a smaller one for his wife Khamerernebty are well preserved. One of the most notable features of the mastaba is a room in the southwest corner of the tomb which resembles a boat. Just like the surrounding pyramids, the mastaba was robbed many times, and Ptahshepses' mummy was destroyed. In the New Kingdom, a workshop was erected inside of the mastaba for the dismantling of the tomb and the reuse of the stone in other works. This destruction continued until the Roman era and left the tomb in ruins and under sand.

paragraph: Section::::Life of Ptahshepses.

paragraph: An inscription near the entrance of the mastaba details the biography of Ptahshepses, similar to Weni the Elder's and Harkhuf's; however, the upper portions of the biography are missing so the beginning of each line is unknown. From the reliefs throughout the complex, he is given several titles:

paragraph: "The count, the sole companion... the keeper of the headdress... the favorite of his Lord... the chief justice, the vizier, the overseer of all the works of the King, the servant of the throne, the lector-priest... the revered one by his lord, the overseer of the Two Chambers of the King's ornament, the count, the sole companion, the lector-priest Ptahshepses."

paragraph: Additionally, he is called “barber of the Great House” and “manicure of the Great House.” These roles were a great honor because they required touching the pharaoh, a religious incarnation himself. Ptahshepses's high social rank is also supported by three distinct statues in the mastaba's chapel, which suggest his roles as an official, as a priest, and as a private individual. Many of the mastaba's features, including the granary and treasury magazines, the boat room, and two boat pits outside of the complex suggest inspiration from royal architecture. The location of the mastaba, almost equidistant from and in front of Sahure's and Niuserre's pyramid complexes on the desert plateau also suggest a deliberate attempt at associating him with royalty.

paragraph: Ptahshepses married King Niuserre's daughter, Khamerernebty. Their five children are mentioned in the tomb: sons Ptahshepses, Kahotep, Qednes and Hemakhti, and daughter Meritites, who had the title “King's Daughter”, even though being only the granddaughter of a king.

paragraph: The princess's sarcophagus logistically could not have been moved into the burial chamber of Ptashepses's mastaba by the narrow descending passage. Ludwig Borchardt discovered Khamerernebty's own mastaba near Niuserre's pyramid complex. Therefore, the princess's sarcophagus must have been placed in Ptahshepses's burial chamber when the mastaba was being built. Additionally, the princess's name is found recorded by the builders on the blocks used to construct the core of the mastaba. This enables Egyptologists to date the beginning of the construction of Ptahshepses' mastaba from before the tenth regnal year until the thirtieth regnal year of king Niuserre.

paragraph: Alice Brown (athlete)

paragraph: Alice Regina Brown (born September 20, 1960) is a retired American sprinter. She was a silver medalist in the 1984 Olympic 100m final in a time of 11.13 seconds. She attended John Muir High School (Pasadena, California) and California State University, Northridge.

paragraph: Section::::1980 Olympics.

paragraph: Brown qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic track and field team but did not compete due to the U.S. Olympic Committee's boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, USSR. She was one of 461 athletes to receive a Congressional Gold Medal instead.

paragraph: Section::::1984 Olympics.

paragraph: Noted for her fast start, she was the 1st leg runner in two US Olympic 4×100 Relay teams 1984–88, both teams winning the gold. At the 1984 Summer Olympics, in the individual 100 metres, Brown and American teammate Jeanette Bolden charged out to the lead, only to be overtaken by world record holder Evelyn Ashford, with Brown clearly taking the silver medal. Later, the U.S. relay team won the gold medal beating Canada by over a second, the greatest winning margin in the event's history. This was due to a very strong team which included all three U.S sprinters that made the 100m final and Brown's superb start. The US were clear favourites as the GDR and USSR teams who would have provided stiff competition were absent due to the Eastern Bloc boycott. The team was never seriously challenged, leading from gun to tape and triumphing with a time of 41.65 seconds, one of the fastest times in history.

paragraph: Section::::1987 World Championship.

paragraph: In 1987 Alice won 4×100 relay Gold at the World Championships Rome, Italy. A very strong and well-drilled team consisting of Diane Williams (2nd Leg), Florence Griffith-Joyner (3rd Leg) and Pam Marshall (anchor) were favorite. They won their semi-final with a time over a second faster than the usually dominant GDR team. They went on to win the final from the GDR team (Silver), clocking a time of 41.58 CR, which was a U.S record at the time, and still ranks as one of the fastest times in history.

paragraph: Section::::1988 Olympics.

paragraph: In the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games all nations were present for the first time since the Montréal games in 1976. In the final of the Women's 4×100 Relay all the strongest nations were present except for the Jamaicans who were non starters. Alice Brown once again led the United States challenge running the first leg. In a superb piece of relay running, she left the field trailing in her wake. By the time she handed over to Sheila Echols (2nd Leg), she had caught and was passing the Bulgarian athlete in the next lane. Florence Griffith-Joyner (3rd Leg) took over and ran solidly, handed over to Evelyn Ashford (anchor), who in very impressive fashion made up three metres on Marlies Göhr and led the US team to victory by a clear metre. The winning time was down (41.98 seconds) on the U.S record due to sloppy baton exchanges. It was superior basic speed and sheer talent that won the U.S their second consecutive gold in this event.

paragraph: Marco Lucchinelli

paragraph: Marco Lucchinelli (born 26 June 1954) is an Italian former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. In 1981 he won the FIM 500cc World Championship.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lucchinelli was born in Bolano.

paragraph: He began his road racing career in 1975 on a Laverda in endurance racing. His riding impressed the Yamaha factory enough to earn him a sponsored bike in the Italian National Championship as well as a ride in the 1975 Nations Grand Prix in the 350 class.

paragraph: In 1976 he rode a Suzuki in the 500cc World Championship earning fourth place in the championship with two second-place finishes along with a third and a fourth place. He earned the nickname "Crazy Horse" for his wild riding style that attracted many fans. This fearless riding style also meant that he crashed quite often. In the 1977 season, he would drop to 11th place in the 500 World Championship on a Yamaha.

paragraph: Lucchinelli returned to Suzuki for the 1978 season and in 1980, he won his first 500cc Grand Prix at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. He would finish the season in third place behind Kenny Roberts and Randy Mamola.

paragraph: Lucchinelli had his best year in 1981. He began the year with a victory over Kenny Roberts in the prestigious Imola 200 non-championship race in Italy. He then took 5 Grand Prix victories aboard the Roberto Gallina backed Suzuki, battling Randy Mamola to the final race of the season before winning the 500cc World Championship. For 1982, Lucchinelli accepted a job offer from Honda to race their new three-cylinder NS500 alongside Freddie Spencer and Takazumi Katayama. He would have a lackluster season in which Franco Uncini would win the championship for the Roberto Gallina-Suzuki team for which Lucchinelli had won the title the previous year.

paragraph: After another lackluster season with Honda in 1983, he joined the Cagiva team for the 1984 and 1985 seasons before he retired from Grand Prix racing. He tried his hand at auto racing, competing in the Italian round of the 1986 Formula 3000 season in a Lola-Ford. Lucchinelli raced a Ducati 851 to a popular win at the 1987 Daytona Battle of the Twins race. In he joined the Ducati in the Superbike World Championship where he won two races during the year before taking on the role of Ducati's team manager.

paragraph: On 6 December 1991 he was arrested for drug possession. He spent some time in jail, during which he successfully fought against drug addiction. After retiring, Lucchinelli became a television commentator for the Eurosport network's motorcycle race coverage. He retired with 6 Grand Prix victories. However, he briefly returned from retirement in 1998, entering the 1000 km Monza, and the opening race of the International Sports Racing Series (ISRS), driving for Centenari; he didn't start the 1000 km Monza, and finished sixth overall (second in the CN class) in the opening round of the ISRS.

paragraph: John Ortega

paragraph: John (Juan) Ortega (born in 1840), was the first Hispanic sailor to be awarded the United States' highest military decoration for valor in combat — the Medal of Honor. He distinguished himself, during the South Atlantic Blockade, by the Union Naval forces, during the American Civil War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ortega (birth name Juan Ortega) was born in Spain and immigrated to the United States. He became a resident of Pennsylvania. In 1863, he joined the Union Navy stationed in Pennsylvania, his adopted home state.

paragraph: Ortega was assigned to during the American Civil War. The "Saratoga", commissioned in 1843, was the third ship of the United States Navy christened with that name. It was a sloop-of-war under the command of Commander George Musalas Colvocoresses.

paragraph: Shams al-Dawla

paragraph: Abu Taher (died 1021) was the Buyid ruler of Hamadan from 997 to 1021. He was the son of Fakhr al-Dawla.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Fakhr al-Dawla died in 997; his elder son Abu Taleb Rostam ("Majd al-Dawla") took power in the bulk of his father's possessions in Jibal. Abu Taher himself gained the governorships of Hamadan and Kirmanshah, and was hence known as Shams al-Dawla. Since both sons were still minors their mother, the "Sayyida", assumed the regency.

paragraph: Both sons originally took the title of "Shâhanshâh", implying that they were subordinate to no one. They abandoned the title, however, when they accepted their cousin Baha' al-Dawla's authority by 1009 or 1010 at the latest.

paragraph: In 1006 or 1007, Majd al-Dawla tried to throw of the Sayyida's regency. However, she gained the support of the Kurdish ruler Badr ibn Hasanwaih and Shams al-Dawla. Their forces laid siege to Ray and fought several battles with Majd al-Dawla's forces. When Ray was finally taken, Majd al-Dawla was imprisoned for a year, and Shams al-Dawla ruled in the city during that time. When the Sayyida released Majd al-Dawla, Shams al-Dawla returned to Hamadan.

paragraph: Around 1013, following the death of the Badr ibn Hasanwaih, Shams al-Dawla occupied part of the former ruler's territory. Sometime in the later part of his reign, he tried to replace Majd al-Dawla as the ruler of Ray, but the Sayyida foiled his plans. In 1015, Shams al-Dawla called upon the prominent Persian scholar Avicenna in order to treat him. During Avicenna's stay at Shams al-Dawla's court, the latter became his "vizier". Shams al-Dawla later died in 1021 and was succeeded by his son Sama' al-Dawla.

paragraph: Consort Yu

paragraph: Consort Yu (died 202 BC), also known as "Yu the Beauty", was the concubine of the warlord Xiang Yu, who competed with Liu Bang (Emperor Gao), the founder of the Han dynasty, for supremacy over China in the Chu–Han Contention (206–202 BC).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Consort Yu's birth date is unknown and there are two accounts of her origin. The first said she was from Yanji Town (顏集镇) in Shuyang County, while the other claimed that she was from Suzhou, but both pointed that she was born in present-day Jiangsu.

paragraph: In 209 BC, Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang started a revolution to overthrow the Qin dynasty. Consort Yu's elder brother, Yu Ziqi (虞子期), was serving in Xiang Liang's army as a general then. Consort Yu met Xiang Yu, fell in love with him and became his concubine. Since then, she had been following Xiang Yu on his military campaigns and refused to remain behind. She accompanied him on all battles.

paragraph: In 202 BC, Xiang Yu was besieged in the Battle of Gaixia by the combined forces of Liu Bang (King of Han), Han Xin and Peng Yue. The Han army started to sing folk songs from Xiang Yu's native land of Chu to create a false impression that they had captured Chu. The morale of Xiang Yu's troops plummeted and several soldiers deserted. In despair, Xiang Yu indulged in alcohol and sang the "Song of Gaixia" to express his sorrow. Consort Yu performed a sword dance and sang a verse in return. To prevent Xiang Yu from being distracted by his love for her, Consort Yu committed suicide with Xiang Yu's sword after singing. She was buried at Gaixia.

paragraph: A "Consort Yu Tomb" stands in present-day Lingbi County, Anhui.

paragraph: Section::::Song of Consort Yu.

paragraph: This verse was sung by Consort Yu after Xiang Yu sang the "Song of Gaixia". She committed suicide with Xiang Yu's sword after singing.

paragraph: Section::::In popular culture.

paragraph: The romance of Xiang Yu and Consort Yu has been the subject of plays, films and television series, even though not much about Consort Yu was recorded in history. The story was reenacted on stage in the Peking opera "The Hegemon-King Bids His Concubine Farewell". Poets such as Su Shi, He Pu and Yuan Mei have written poems about Consort Yu as well. Actresses such as Idy Chan, Melissa Ng, Kristy Yang, Rosamund Kwan and Liu Yifei have played the role of Consort Yu in films and television series.

paragraph: In the video game Fate/Grand Order, Consort Yu is an Assassin-class Servant. She is voiced by Mariya Ise. Here, she is a vampire who survived to the present day under the alias Hinako Akuta and desires to reunite with Xiang Yu, who is also a Servant.

paragraph: Fan Zeng

paragraph: Fan Zeng (277–204 BC) was an adviser to the warlord Xiang Yu, who fought for supremacy with Liu Bang (Emperor Gao), the founder of the Han dynasty, during the Chu–Han Contention (206–202 BC).

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Fan Zeng was from Juchao (present-day Yafu Street, Juchao District, Chaohu City, Anhui). He had a keen interest in military strategy and politics. In 207 BC, when Fan Zeng was about 70, he left home to meet Xiang Liang, who had rebelled against the Qin dynasty, and was accepted by Xiang Liang as an advisor.

paragraph: After Xiang Liang died, Fan Zeng continued serving his nephew, Xiang Yu, as an advisor. Xiang Yu respectfully addressed Fan Zeng as his "Second Father" (亞父; "Yafu"). Since then, Fan Zeng had been planning and formulating strategies for Xiang Yu to overcome his rivals. In 206 BC, Fan Zeng followed Xiang Yu as their army entered Guanzhong (heartland of the Qin dynasty), where Fan Zeng noticed that Liu Bang would become a future threat to Xiang Yu. Fan Zeng constantly urged Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang then, but Xiang did not heed his advice.

paragraph: During the Feast at Hong Gate, Fan Zeng ordered Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang to pretend to perform a sword dance and use the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, who was present at the feast on Xiang Yu's invitation. However, Xiang Yu listened to his uncle Xiang Bo, a close friend of Liu Bang's strategist Zhang Liang, and spared Liu's life. Liu Bang lied that he was going to the latrine and seized the chance to escape. The furious Fan Zeng exclaimed,

paragraph: In 204 BC, when Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu at the Battle of Xingyang, he requested for an armistice. Xiang Yu agreed but Fan Zeng strongly opposed his decision, telling him that he would regret if he agreed to the armistice. Xiang Yu listened to Fan Zeng and continued attacking Liu Bang. Liu Bang's strategist Chen Ping used a scheme to trick Xiang Yu into believing that Fan Zeng had the intention of betraying him. Xiang Yu fell for the ruse and dismissed Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng made up his mind to leave Xiang Yu. Before leaving, he said,

paragraph: Fan Zeng died of illness on his journey home and was buried by Xiang Yu's followers in Pengcheng (彭城; present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu). His tomb is still in existence today. Despite this, there were legends that he had become a hermit around the modern day Tiantai County. After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang remarked that it was a pity that Xiang had a capable Fan Zeng to help him, but he did not use Fan well.

paragraph: Chris Martin (footballer, born 1990)

paragraph: Christopher Joseph Martin (born 21 July 1990) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

paragraph: Having come through the club's youth set-up, he turned professional at Port Vale in 2007 after spending time on loan at non-league Kidsgrove Athletic. He spent 2007–08 and 2008–09 as Joe Anyon's deputy, before he won the #1 jersey in summer 2010, having established himself as the club's first choice keeper in the 2009–10 campaign. However, he was released after he spent most of the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons on the bench behind new signing Stuart Tomlinson. In August 2012, he dropped down three tiers to join Ilkeston. The following year he dropped down another division to play for Mickleover Sports . He helped Mickleover to win the Northern Premier League Division One South title in 2014–15. He joined Leek Town in June 2015, and then Kidsgrove Athletic in December 2016. He was sworn in as a policeman in September 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Port Vale.

paragraph: Born in, and growing up in Mansfield, Martin attended Frederick Gent School. He joined the Port Vale youth system after leaving his home town club Nottingham Forest in 2005. He joined Northern Premier League First Division outfit Kidsgrove Athletic on loan in March 2007 at the age of 16. His Vale debut came against Swindon Town at the County Ground on 19 April 2008; where Port Vale were beaten 6–0. Manager Lee Sinnott refused to blame Martin for the heavy defeat.

paragraph: After Joe Anyon broke his leg in March 2009, Martin was given his first run in the first team, playing the last ten games of the 2008–09 season. Anyon failed to recover for the start of the 2009–10 season. New manager Micky Adams looked to sign Stuart Tomlinson in order to have an experienced option in goal, but the cash-strapped club could not afford to offer Tomlinson a permanent deal. However Martin did not disappoint, an assured display against Rochdale was followed by a solid performance in the League Cup at Bramall Lane, where Vale defeated Championship side Sheffield United 2–1. Adams commented: "We knew our keeper would have to have a great night, and what a night he's had." However, he was transfer listed in late September, along with the entire Port Vale squad, after Adams saw his team slip to a third consecutive defeat. He remained the first choice keeper however, his shot-stopping ability, overall competence and reliability making him the star player of the first half of the campaign. In January 2010 he kept three clean sheets in a row, the first time Vale had done so in over three years. His record of conceding just 25 goals in 26 League Two matches by February led the club to promise him a new contract, and led to public praise from teammate Adam Yates. After a run of 38 consecutive games he was rested in February 2010, as manager Adams wished to see Joe Anyon in competitive action. Martin regained his place the next month after Anyon made two costly errors in his seven games. The teenager picked up the Young Player of the Year award for his 47 appearances. He was offered a new contract by the club at the end of the season, whilst Anyon was released. Martin signed the two-year contract, which came with an increase in wages.

paragraph: In May 2010, Stuart Tomlinson was announced as his competition for the 2010–11 season. Tomlinson said he was looking forward to working with Martin and goalkeeping coach Mark Grew. Martin stated he hoped to be more communicative with his defenders throughout the season. Tomlinson received the nod from Adams, and Martin had to wait until February 2011 for first team football, at which point Tomlinson was out with a hip injury and Jim Gannon was manager. Martin was dropped after conceding a comical own goal in a 3–1 defeat to Stevenage, but won a recall the following match as Tomlinson left the field due to a recurrence of his hip injury. The pair continued to battle for a starting place, though Tomlinson supported Martin after he committed another blunder in a 2–1 loss at home to Oxford United on 12 March. Over the course of the season he was restricted to just fourteen league appearances by Tomlinson's consistency.

paragraph: He started the 2011–12 season on the bench for league games, with Tomlinson preferred by Micky Adams, who had returned to the club as manager. Neither Tomlinson or Martin could nail down their first team place though; Tomlinson conceded twelve goals in his first seven games of the season, whilst Martin conceded ten times in his first five games. Assistant manager Mark Grew told the media that "they've both been disappointing". Martin made only his fourth league appearance of the season on 7 January, as injury ruled Tomlinson out of the trip to Southend United. Tomlinson won back his first team spot after returning to fitness, and Martin was not offered a new contract at the end of the season. By a quirk of fate, his last game for the club mirrored his debut almost exactly, as Swindon recorded a 5–0 victory at the County Ground on 28 April.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Non-league.

paragraph: He was invited to train at AFC Telford United in July 2012, and had erroneously been reported as having signed a contract with the club. The next month he signed with Ilkeston of the Northern Premier League Premier Division. The club finished 12th in 2012–13. He signed with Mickleover Sports for the 2013–14 campaign, and helped the club to the play-off final, where they were beaten by Belper Town. He was named in the division's Team of the Year as Mickleover won promotion as champions in 2014–15. He signed with Leek Town in June 2015. Leek finished eighth in the Northern Premier League Division One South in the 2015–16 campaign. He joined divisional rivals Kidsgrove Athletic in December 2016 after losing his first team place at Leek to Ben Chapman. The "Grove" finished 12th in the Northern Premier League in the 2016–17 season.

paragraph: Sunqua (active 1830–1870) was a Chinese painter during the Qing dynasty. He was one of the best known of the Chinese artists in 19th century producing pictures for the European market. Residing in China Street in the city of Canton (Guangzhou), Sunqua worked and established studios in Canton and Macao, and was known for his large oil pictures of the shipping and trade into these ports. His studio also concentrated on flower and trade albums, most of which are in full bodycolour painted on pith paper.

paragraph: In 1838, he was credited as the "Chinese Hogarth" for his series of six pictures to illustrate the effects of opium-smoking in the style of English painter William Hogarth's series "A Rake's Progress". Painted on pith paper, the series portrays the progress of an opium smoker from health and prosperity to misery and degradation. "The Chinese Repository" described the work as "the most spirited and striking thing we have ever yet seen from the pencil of a Chinese" in 1837. He also drew a series illustrating a gambler's career.

paragraph: Antimachus II

paragraph: Antimachus II Nikephoros (Greek: ; the epithet means "the Victorious") was an Indo-Greek king. He ruled a vast territory from the Hindu-Kush to the Punjab around 170 BCE. He was almost certainly the eponymous son of Antimachus I, who is known from a unique preserved tax receipt. Bopearachchi dated Antimachus II to 160–155 BCE on numismatical grounds, but changed this to 174–165 BCE after the tax receipt was revealed to synchronise his reign with that of Antimachus I. R. C. Senior has not dated Antimachus II but thinks that his coins were possibly Indian issues of Antimachus I, despite their different epithets and coin types.

paragraph: In both of Boperachchi's reconstructions, Antimachus II was succeeded by Menander I who inherited three of his four monograms. Antimachus II probably fought against the Bactrian king Eucratides I, who had dethroned his father in Bactria.

paragraph: Section::::Coins of Antimachus II.

paragraph: Antimachus II did not strike a portrait on his coins, likely since this was not custom in India. Neither did the early kings strike tetradrachms. Antimachus II struck a large number of bilingual drachms on the same lighter Indian standard as Apollodotus I, though round in shape. On the obverse is Nike, and on the reverse a king on horseback.

paragraph: He also issued bilingual bronzes with aegis / laurel wreath and palm. Both these and the goddess Nike seem to allude to his epithet ""the Victorious"."

paragraph: Section::::Events of Juntoku's life.

paragraph: Morinari-shinnō became Crown Prince in 1200. He was elevated to the throne after Emperor Go-Toba pressured Emperor Tsuchimikado into abdicating.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1210 ("Jōgen 1, 25th day of the 11th month"): In the 12th year of Tsuchimikado"-tennō" 's reign (土御門天皇十二年), the emperor abdicated; and the succession (‘‘senso’’) was received by his younger brother, the second son of the former-Emperor Go-Toba. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Juntoku is said to have acceded to the throne (‘‘sokui’’).

paragraph: In actuality, Emperor Go-Toba wielded effective power as a cloistered emperor during the years of Juntoku's reign.

paragraph: In 1221, he was forced to abdicate because of his participation in Go-Toba's unsuccessful attempt to displace the Kamakura bakufu with re-asserted Imperial power. This political and military struggle was called the Jōkyū War or the Jōkyū Incident ("Jōkyū-no ran").

paragraph: After the "Jōkyū-no ran", Juntoku was sent into exile on Sado Island (佐渡島 or 佐渡ヶ島, both "Sadogashima"), where he remained until his death in 1242.

paragraph: This emperor is known posthumously as Sado-no In (佐渡院) because his last years were spent at Sado. He was buried in a mausoleum, the Mano Goryo, on Sado's west coast. Juntoku's official Imperial tomb ("misasagi") is in Kyoto.

paragraph: Juntoku was tutored in poetry by Fujiwara no Sadaie, who was also known as Teika. One of the emperor's poems was selected for inclusion in what became a well-known anthology, the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu. This literary legacy in Teika's collection of poems has accorded Juntoku a continuing popular prominence beyond the scope of his other lifetime achievements. The poets and poems of the Hyakunin isshu form the basis for a card game ("uta karuta") which is still widely played today.

paragraph: Section::::Events of Juntoku's life.:"Kugyō".

paragraph: "Kugyō" (公卿) is a collective term for the very few most powerful men attached to the court of the Emperor of Japan in pre-Meiji eras.

paragraph: In general, this elite group included only three to four men at a time. These were hereditary courtiers whose experience and background would have brought them to the pinnacle of a life's career. During juntoku's reign, this apex of the "Daijō-kan" included:

paragraph: Fadrique Enríquez de Mendoza

paragraph: Fadrique Enríquez de Mendoza (1390 – 23 December 1473) was the second Admiral of Castile, Count of Melgar and Rueda, and second Lord of Medina del Rioseco. He was a son of Alonso Enríquez, the first admiral of Castile.

paragraph: Fadrique's father, Alonso Enríquez, was the son of Fadrique, an illegitimate child of Alfonso XI of Castile. The Enríquez family was an important family because of this descent from the royal line and their many possessions in Castile. When his father died in 1429, Alonso Fadrique inherited his estate and titles, including "ricohombre", Master of Order of Santiago, lord of Medina de Rioseco, Castro Verde and Torrelobatón. According to his contemporary Fernando del Pulgar (1436–1492), he was small in stature, a little nearsighted, and he gained much honor and fame with his performance as commander of the fleet of Castile.

paragraph: Fadrique played an important role at court as one of the main advisers of King John II of Castile. He became involved in the conspiracy against the influential Constable of Castile Álvaro de Luna.

paragraph: In 1426, Fadrique Enríquez married Mariana Fernández de Córdoba y Ayala, 4th Lady of Casarrubios (1385–1431). In 1527, Mariana gave birth to a daughter, Juana, Queen of Aragon.

paragraph: In 1431, he and Alvaro de Luna arrested Commander Diego Sarmiento because the latter did not obey the orders of the king. In the same year, his wife Mariana died.

paragraph: In 1432, he fought alongside Pedro Manrique de Lara against the princes Henry and Peter near Cáceres, Alburquerque and Acagala.

paragraph: On May 9, 1432, Fadrique married his second wife, Teresa Fernández de Quiñones, with whom he had nine children.

paragraph: In 1437, when King John II of Castile had Pedro Manrique arrested, Fadrique came into conflict with the king. In August 1438, Pedro managed to escape from his prison in Fuentedueñas. Fadrique gathered troops in Medina de Rioseco to rebel against the king. John II of Castile also brought together his supporters, including Alvaro de Luna, his son Henry, Pero de Velasco, the Count of Haro, Diego Gómez de Sandoval and others. In 1440, negotiations were held and a temporary truce was agreed on. During this short period of peace, Henry married Blanche II of Navarre, and Fadrique was godfather of the couple.

paragraph: In 1445, Fadrique again participated in an alliance against Alvaro de Luna. The admiral was captured but managed to escape to Medina de Rioseco.

paragraph: In 1448, Fadrique was accused of a conspiracy against the king and a plot to murder Álvaro de Luna. Fadrique fled again, went to Aragon to seek support and thence to Italy, where Alfonso V, king of Aragon was at the time.

paragraph: In 1449, an alliance against Álvaro de Luna was again forged. This time, Fadrique joined forces with John II, king of Navarre. In 1447, John II of Castile had married Isabella of Portugal. The new queen soon made short shrift of the influential nobles at court. Álvaro was arrested on April 4, 1453, and sentenced to death. He was beheaded on June 2, 1453.

paragraph: John II of Castile died in July 1454 and was succeeded by Henry IV. A new series of intrigues at the court of Castile began, and Fadrique again played a role.

paragraph: Fadrique Enríquez de Mendoza died in 1473 and was buried in the monastery of Our Lady of Hope of Valdescopezo in Medina de Rioseco.

paragraph: Wes Graham

paragraph: Wes Graham was a Canadian professor of computer science at the University of Waterloo, with strong ties to industry.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Graham was born on January 17, 1932 in Copper Cliff, Ontario. His interest in computing developed while studying math and physics at the University of Toronto. After working at IBM as a systems engineer, Graham accepted a position at the University of Waterloo in 1959 becoming one of the first professors of Computer Science. In 1962, Graham was named the director of Waterloo's Computing Centre when it was established as a separate entity from Department of Mathematics.

paragraph: In 1965, when James G. Mitchell, then an undergraduate student at Waterloo, wrote an academic paper on how to write a teaching compiler for Fortran, that could compile, link, and execute a typical undergraduate's program in a single pass, Graham arranged for Mitchell and a small team, under his supervision, to write that compiler. The compiler was eventually known as WATFOR, and was eventually to be used by students at 420 Colleges and Universities around the world.

paragraph: WATFOR was followed by similar teaching compilers, like WATBOL, for teaching COBOL, and WATIAC for teaching the principles of assembly language programming.

paragraph: Graham is credited with convincing leading computer manufacturers that it was in their interests to donate equipment to the University, because Waterloo students would then write valuable software for those computers that would make the manufacturers` products more valuable.

paragraph: A total of $35 million CAD in donated equipment is credited to Graham.

paragraph: Graham, some of his colleagues, and students and former students of theirs, formed the University spin-off software company Watcom, which was sold to Powersoft in 1994, for $100 million CAD. Powersoft was then acquired by Sybase in 1994 which was subsequently acquired by SAP SE in 2010.

paragraph: Graham was named an Officer of the Order of Canada, in July 1999, but died of cancer before the formal award ceremony in September 1999. The J.W. Graham Medal for excellence in Computer Science was named in his honor.

paragraph: Wally Kopf

paragraph: Walter Henry "Wally" Kopf (July 10, 1899 – April 30, 1979) was a German American professional baseball player whose career spanned two seasons, which included one in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the New York Giants (1921). He played only two games, making his debut on October 1, 1921 and his final appearance the next day. In those games, he played third base, compiling one hit in three at bats. In 1922, he played in the minor leagues with the Oakland Oaks, Reading Aces, and the Newark Bears. Before pro-baseball, Kopf attended Dartmouth College (1919–21). He served in World War I. After his baseball career was over, he moved to Cincinnati where he worked as a building contractor. He was the younger brother of professional baseball player Larry Kopf.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Kopf was born on July 10, 1899 in Stonington, Connecticut to Lannie and Malone Kopf, who were both from Germany. He was one of 4 boys in the house. His brother Larry, was a baseball player that spent most of his time with the Cincinnati Reds and later inducted into the Cincinnati Reds hall of fame. Wally Kopf had seven siblings; brothers Larry, Otto, Herbert, and Frances; and sister Helen. His brother Larry was a professional baseball player who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the Cleveland Naps, Philadelphia Athletics, Cincinnati Reds, and Boston Braves for 10 seasons (1913–23). For three years from 1919–1921, Wally Kopf attended Dartmouth College. In 1918, after announcing he was enrolling in Dartmouth, "The Washington Post" wrote that "Walter Kopf brother of the famous Benny [...] is said to be better than his big league brother". While college, he played basketball and baseball. In the latter sport, he played shortstop. He served in the United States Armed Forces during World War I.

paragraph: Section::::Baseball career.

paragraph: Kopf played semi-professional baseball with the Stamford, Connecticut team in 1921. On September 12, 1921, he signed with the New York Giants. He played two games that season, batting .333 with one hit, one base on balls, and one strikeout in three at bats. Defensively, he played third base, turing one double play in six total chances. Although he didn't play, Kopf was a member of the Giants roster during the 1921 World Series. He received part of the cash reward after the Giants won the World Series.

paragraph: At the start of the 1922 season, Kopf was a member of the Giants second team, which was compiled of players who were cut from New York's spring training roster and assigned to a team that played minor league teams in Texas. After his trial with the Giants second team, he was assigned to the Double-A Newark Bears of the International League. After a week with the Bears, Kopf was turned back to the Giants and manager John McGraw gave him an unconditional release. Later that year, he signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Dodgers assigned Kopf to the Double-A Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League. With the Oaks, he batted .246 with 16 hits, and five doubles in 20 games played. Brooklyn then assigned him to Newark Bears. Finally, the Dodgers sold Kopf to the Double-A Reading Aces of the International League. His combined totals in the International League that season was a batting average of .228 with 18 hits, three doubles, and two home runs in 23 games played.

paragraph: Kopf played for a semi-professional team in Upstate New York after the 1922 season. He also played with a resort team in Vermont. "The Vancouver Sun" described Kopf as having a "football throwing arm". In 1924, Kopf played for a semi-pro team named Simmons. In the mid-1920s, Kopf was a player-manager for the Ludlow, Kentucky semi-pro baseball team. Kopf signed with the Class-A Little Rock Travelers of the Southern Association. With the Travelers, he batted .243 with 27 hits, four doubles, and three triples in 30 games played.

paragraph: Section::::Basketball career.

paragraph: Kopf and his brother Larry played semi-professional basketball for the Coral Gables, Florida team in 1925. Walt Kopf was the head coach of that team, which practiced at the YMCA in the area. The two also played basketball in Cincinnati. Wally Kopf played the center position.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: By 1930, Kopf lived in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife, Virginia. He was working as a building contractor in Ohio after his playing career. On August 10, 1935, Kopf, who was the building contractor on a project in Cincinnati found a Muscogee people burial ground. In 1965, he and his brother, Larry, attended an event put on by the Cincinnati Reds called "Former Major Leaguers Day". He died on April 30, 1979 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was buried at the Calvary Cemetery in Cincinnati.

paragraph: John Boyd (milliner)

paragraph: John Richardson Boyd MBE (5 April 1925 – 20 February 2018) was a Scottish milliner based in London. Designing hats for over seventy-five years, Boyd was one of London's most respected milliners and is known for his creations for Diana, Princess of Wales and Anne, Princess Royal.

paragraph: Boyd was a milliner to three generations of Diana's family – Diana, her mother Frances Shand Kydd and grandmother Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy – and had remained at the centre of his craft adding another generation of royals with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Turning 92 in April 2017, Boyd had one of the longest millinery careers in the world whilst continuing to practise his art before his death in 2018. Boyd’s label continues with his protégé and senior milliner Sarah Marshall.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Boyd was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1925. Boyd served his apprenticeship in Grosvenor Square with the Danish, Royal milliner Aage Thaarup who, along with Otto Lucas, were the most famous names in London millinery. Working with Thaarup from 1941, Boyd's apprenticeship was interrupted in 1943 when he was conscripted for World War II. After three years in the Royal Navy and taking part in the D-Day landings, Boyd was demobbed in 1946 and opened his first atelier in a London basement with his war time gratuity. Working with the fashion designer Clive Duncan who, like Thaarup had royal connections, Boyd received many commissions and designing hats for Duncan's first London show in 1947, their work attracted buyers from Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Millinery career.

paragraph: By the 1950s with the continued growth of "prêt-à-porter" millinery was in decline, but Boyd's clientele continued to grow and in the mid 50s he took a shop in the Brompton Arcade.
