paragraph: William Carpenter (flat Earth theorist)

paragraph: William Carpenter (25 February 1830 – 1 September 1896) was an English printer and author, and a proponent of the flat Earth theory, active in England and the United States in the nineteenth century. Carpenter immigrated to the United States and continued his advocacy of the Flat Earth movement.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Carpenter was born on 25 February 1830 in Greenwich, Kent, England and he was baptised on 30 April 1830 at Maize Hill, formerly known as Bethel – Independent in Greenwich. He was the eldest son of Samuel Carpenter and Lucy Moss. He married Annie Gillett January/March 1853 and they eventually had six children.

paragraph: In Greenwich, Carpenter became a printer and stenographer by profession. In 1879, he moved from England to Baltimore, Maryland, where he continued his work as a printer. The 1880 US federal census shows him and his wife Annie with six children aged 11–25 years whose occupations included milliner, architect, professor of music, and florist.

paragraph: After arriving in Baltimore, Carpenter taught classes in shorthand. He published two books on the subject and became known as "Professor Carpenter." Carpenter had other eclectic beliefs per his Baltimore Sun obituary. "For many years Mr. Carpenter had also been a vegetarian, a believer in the power of mesmerism and a spiritualist. Upon each of these questions he wrote pamphlets. He thought that the eating of meat was responsible for many of the ills that humanity is heir to."

paragraph: Carpenter died on Tuesday 1 September 1896 at 1316 North Central Avenue, his home, in Baltimore. Per his obit in the Baltimore Sun, his death was the result "... to a stroke of apoplexy on Sunday." In the year before his death he had "... a number of slighter strokes ..."

paragraph: Section::::Advocate of the flat Earth theory.

paragraph: Carpenter was a passionate advocate of the flat Earth theory, which holds that the earth is not a globe.

paragraph: Carpenter, a printer originally from Greenwich, England, published "Theoretical Astronomy Examined and Exposed – Proving the Earth not a Globe" in eight parts from 1864 under the name "Common Sense". He later emigrated to Baltimore where he published "A hundred proofs the Earth is not a Globe" in 1885.

paragraph: Carpenter argued that:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "There are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet — notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's convexity. It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe."

paragraph: BULLET::::- "If the Earth were a globe, a small model globe would be the very best – because the truest – thing for the navigator to take to sea with him. But such a thing as that is not known: with such a toy as a guide, the mariner would wreck his ship, of a certainty!, This is a proof that Earth is not a globe."

paragraph: Carpenter was a proponent of English writer Samuel Rowbotham (1816–1885), who produced a pamphlet, with Carpenter's assistance, called "Zetetic Astronomy" in 1849 arguing for a flat Earth and published results of many experiments that tested the curvatures of water over a long drainage ditch, followed by another called "The inconsistency of Modern Astronomy and its Opposition to the Scripture". Rowbotham also produced studies, mostly printed by Carpenter, that purported to show the effects of ships disappearing below the horizon could be explained by the laws of perspective in relation to the human eye.

paragraph: Section::::Principal works.

paragraph: Some of Carpenter's works found commercial publishers, but many were printed, bound, and sold by himself, at times under the pen-name "Common Sense." An incomplete list includes:

paragraph: Richard Valpy

paragraph: Richard Valpy DD (7 December 1754 – 28 March 1836) was a schoolmaster in Great Britain.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was born the eldest son of Richard and Catherine Valpy in Jersey. He was sent to schools in Normandy and Southampton, and completed his education at Pembroke College, Oxford. In 1777 he took orders. After holding a mastership at Bury, in 1781 he became head master of Reading Grammar School, a post which he held for fifty years. From 1787 he held also the rectory of Stradishall, Suffolk. During the early part of Valpy's long head-mastership the school flourished greatly. At least 120 boys attended it.

paragraph: He was the author of Greek and Latin grammars which enjoyed a large circulation. His Greek "Delectus" and Latin "Delectus" were long familiar to public school boys. He is said to have been a mighty flogger, and to have refused two bishoprics. In 1800 he was requested by his old pupils to sit for a full-length portrait and thirty years later, on the occasion of his jubilee, he was presented with a service of plate. Mary Russell Mitford has spoken of him as vainer than a peacock.

paragraph: The school was declining before Valpy's long reign closed. His successor was his son, Francis Valpy (1797-1882), appointed in 1830. Richard Valpy died in London. He is buried in an impressive mausoleum in front of the main chapel in Kensal Green Cemetery.

paragraph: A statue was erected in St. Lawrence's Church to commemorate him.

paragraph: He was also the father of printer and publisher Abraham John Valpy and of New Zealand pioneer William Henry Valpy.

paragraph: Section::::Bowdlerisation.

paragraph: "The Second part of King Henry the Fourth, altered from William Shakespeare as it was acted at Reading School in October 1801. Published as it was performed for the benefit of the Humane Society" By Richard Valpy.

paragraph: "WHEN the First Part of King Henry the Fourth was played at Reading School, it was sufficient to curtail some tedious pages, and to omit some exceptionable expressions. In the Second Part it was absolutely necessary to do more. This Play in the original is disfigured not only with indelicate speeches, but with characters that cannot now be tolerated on a public theatre."

paragraph: Section::::References.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "The Town of Reading during the early part of the Nineteenth century", (1910). By W. M. Childs, M.A., Principal of University College, Reading. (Available online https://archive.org/details/townofreadingdur00chiluoft )

He was one of the original members of the Hillsboro Fire Department when it was founded in 1881. In 1891, the cornerstone to the Washington County Courthouse was laid, which included a time capsule that had a picture of then judge Crandall inside.

paragraph: On January 2, 1882, he was elected to the Hillsboro Board of Trustees (now City Council) to replace A. Finney, and was then also elected as president of the board to become mayor. He served as mayor until December 13 of that year when Thomas H. Tongue was elected as mayor. Crandall served a second time as mayor from 1884 to 1885, replacing A. M. Collins, who was his brother-in-law. William D. Hare replaced Crandall as mayor on December 14, 1885. His son Max also later served as the county’s assessor and on the Hillsboro City Council.

paragraph: Andrzej Głowacki – European philosopher, designer, graphic artist, professor of Academy Of Fine Art in Cracow (where he directs The Third Studio of Interior Design), head of Chair of Commercial Art, Computer Graphics and New Media in University of Information, Technology and Management in Rzeszów, Poland, and a co-author of the nascent Center of Digital Arts and Techniques also in UITM, Rzeszów.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific career.

paragraph: He graduated from Faculty of Interior Design In Academy of Fine Art in Cracow. His doctoral thesis from 1985 showed groundbreaking approach to methodology of designing process treated as a creative act or even a peak experience rather than simple realization of an idea. Emotional aspect of creating and self-awareness of designer are equally important in this theory based on transpersonal psychology and existentialism. Though the theory was innovative it occurred to be too controversial for its times in Poland. It became a valuable source for curriculum, implemented and developed in The Third Studio of Interior Design since 1994.

paragraph: He was Dean of Faculty of Interior Design from 1990 to 1993. As the first dean after 1989 he began process of reformation in Academy.

paragraph: Currently he focuses on teaching and designing tangible and virtual realities, real spaces and cyberspaces.

paragraph: Section::::Design.

paragraph: He was one of the most popular Polish designers in the 1990s. He set up legendary, surrealistic Gallery Jo Design, which was located in Doubting Thomas's Corner in Cracow from 1992 to 1996. Popular Polish and foreign artists: actors, writers, journalists were its frequent guests.

paragraph: Projects from the 1990s represent optimistic design, full of stylistic courage and fun crafts with form. Objects are unconventional and quite unrealistic but they do not lose their functionality. Furniture, lamps and glass projects are the most characteristic. Their finessed shapes and both funny and philosophic names had many admirers in Europe.

paragraph: Section::::Inspirations.

paragraph: Theoretical physics is his great passion and influences his artistic activities. He often compares it with mystical knowledge of old cultures. According to the needs of the future he teaches transhumanistic ideas and designing for cyberspace.

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions.

paragraph: James Turberville

paragraph: James Turberville (or Turbervyle) (died 1559) was Bishop of Exeter from 1555.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was born at Bere Regis in Dorset, a younger son of John Turberville and his wife Isabella, daughter of John Cheverell. John was a great-grandson of Sir Robert Turberville (d. 6 Aug. 1424) of Bere and Anderston. The Turberville family also held the manor of South Molton in Devon in the mediaeval era.

paragraph: Sir Payn de Turberville, Lord of Coity Castle in Glamorganshire, was one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan who conquered that county under Robert FitzHamon (d.1107), Lord of Glamorgan.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: James was educated at Winchester College, and in 1512 was elected fellow of New College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. on 17 June 1516 and M.A. on 26 June 1520. He graduated D.D. abroad, but was incorporated on 1 June 1532. From 1521 to 1524 he filled the office of 'tabellio' or Registrar of the University of Oxford.

paragraph: In 1529 he resigned his fellowship, being then promoted to an ecclesiastical benefice, and in 1541 he became rector of Hartfield in Sussex. On 8 September 1555 he was consecrated bishop of Exeter as successor to John Voysey. According to John Hooker, Turberville was concerned in the execution for heresy of Agnes Pirest, burned at Southampton.

paragraph: In Elizabeth I's initial parliament he opposed the bill for restoring tenths and first-fruits to the crown, as well as other anti-papal measures. In 1559 he declined the oath of supremacy, and in consequence was deprived, a fresh "congé d'élire" being issued on 27 April 1560. On 4 December 1559 he joined the other deprived bishops in a letter of remonstrance, and on 18 June 1560 he was committed for a short time to the Tower of London. He was afterwards placed in the custody of Edmund Grindal, bishop of London, and liberated by order of the privy council on 30 January 1565 on sureties for good behaviour. The rest of his life was passed in retirement, and he died at liberty, it is said, in 1570.

paragraph: Henry Swinburne

paragraph: Henry Swinburne (1743–1803) was an English travel writer.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born at Bristol on 8 July 1743, into a Catholic family, and was educated at Scorton school, near Catterick, Yorkshire. He was then sent to the monastic seminary of Lacelle in France. He afterwards studied at Paris, Bordeaux, and in the Royal Academy at Turin, devoting special attention to literature and art. The death of his brother, who had devised to him a small estate at Hamsterley in Durham, placed him in independent circumstances. He proceeded to Turin, Genoa, and Florence.

paragraph: He met in Paris his future wife Martha, daughter of John Baker of Chichester, solicitor to the Leeward Islands, who was being educated at a convent of Ursuline nuns. They were married at Aix-la-Chapelle on 24 March 1767. The couple then settled at Hamsterley, where the husband laid out the estate. They passed the autumn of 1774 and the following months until September 1775 at Bordeaux, and then visited the Pyrenees. Swinburne in the company of Sir Thomas Gascoigne travelled through Spain, returning to Bayonne in June 1776. A manuscript describing his journey was sent to Samuel Henley as editor. It was published in 1779 as "Travels through Spain, 1775 and 1776", illustrated with drawings of Roman and Moorish architecture.

paragraph: On his return to Bayonne in June 1776 Swinburne, with his family, travelled to Marseilles, and a supplementary volume describing the expedition was issued in 1787. They then sailed to Naples, and travelled in the Two Sicilies, where they stayed for 1777 and 1778, and for the early months of 1779. Their return to England was by Vienna, Frankfurt, and Brussels, and they arrived in London in July 1779, but after a few months in England passed once more through France to Italy (March to July 1780) and then until November in Vienna. They formed acquaintance with literati in each country, and received compliments from the Catholic sovereigns. At Vienna Maria Theresa conferred on Mrs. Swinburne the female order of "La Croix Étoilée", and the Emperor Joseph II stood godfather to their son of that name. They were in Brussels from February to June 1781, and again crossed to England.

paragraph: By this time Martha's property in the West Indies had been laid waste. With letters of introduction to the French court, from Vienna, Swinburne went to Paris (1783), and through Marie-Antoinette' s influence obtained a grant of all uncultivated crown lands in the island of St. Vincent valued at £30,000. In February 1785 William Pitt offered half that sum for it, and on receiving a refusal passed through parliament a bill to impose heavy taxation upon the unproductive lands in all the West Indian islands. Swinburne then parted with his interest for £6,500. From September 1786 to June 1788 Swinburne was again in Paris, and high in favour with Marie-Antoinette. His eldest son was enrolled among the royal pages, and placed under the care of the Prince de Lambesc.

paragraph: Swinburne's later years were clouded by misfortune. His eldest daughter, Mary Frances, married on 7 September 1793 Paul Benfield, whose wealth crumbled away as rapidly as it grew, and Swinburne was involved in the ruin. His eldest son died in a storm on his way to Jamaica in 1800.

paragraph: In the meantime Swinburne was sent to Paris in September 1796 as commissioner, to negotiate an exchange of prisoners with France, but, in the face of difficulties arising from the capture by the French of Sir Sidney Smith, was unsuccessful, and in December 1797 was recalled to England, In December 1801 he went out to the lucrative post of vendue-master in the newly ceded settlement of Trinidad, and also as commissioner to deliver up the Danish West Indian islands to a Danish official. He died from sunstroke at Trinidad on 1 April 1803, and was buried at San Juan, where his friend. Sir Ralph Woodford, raised a monument to his memory.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: "Travels through Spain, 1775 and 1776" was published in 1779. In 1787 it was reprinted in two octavo volumes, and in the same year a French translation by J. B. De la Borde came out at Paris. Abridgments, with engravings from some additional drawings by Swinburne, appeared in 1806 and 1813. This was the first antiquarian book in England on Spain. The "Travels" are cited by Edward Gibbon ("Decline and Fall", chaps, ix. and x.)

paragraph: The first volume of Swinburne's "Travels in the two Sicilies. 1777-1780", was published in 1783, and the second came out in 1785, with plates from Swinburne's drawings. A second edition appeared in 1790; a French translation of them by La Borde was issued at Paris in 1785, and in the same year a German translation by J. R. Forster was published at Hamburg. At a later date La Borde translated the supplementary "Journey from Bayonne to Marseilles".

paragraph: There were published in 1841, under the editorship of Charles White, two volumes entitled "The Courts of Europe at the close of the last Century", which consisted of the letters of Henry Swinburne, mostly on foreign life (dating from March 1774, and chiefly addressed to his brother, Sir Edward Swinburne); many of the anecdotes and statements must be read with caution ("Quarterly Review", lxviii. 146-76). They were reprinted in 1895

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He was the fourth son of Sir John Swinburne, 3rd Baronet of Capheaton, Northumberland, head of an old Roman Catholic family, who married on 20 July 1721 Mary, only daughter of Edward Bedingfeld, and granddaughter of Sir Henry Bedingfeld of Oxburgh, Norfolk. His father died in January 1745, and his mother died at York on 7 February 1761.

paragraph: He had four sons and six daughters.

paragraph: Franz Hauser

paragraph: Franz Xaver Hauser (12 January 1794 in Krasowitz, today Krasovice, part of Kondrac, (Benešov District), Czech Republic – 14 August 1870 in Freiburg im Breisgau) was a singer, voice teacher, and music manuscript collector.

paragraph: At his father's insistence, he first studied medicine, but he then studied singing with Johann Wenzel Tomaschek and composition with oboist Josef Triebensee.

paragraph: He made his stage debut in 1817 in Prague as Sarastro in Mozart's "Magic Flute". He found great success at the opera theaters in Vienna, Leipzig, and Berlin. He retired from the stage in 1838 and taught singing in Vienna. In 1846 he was appointed as director of the newly established conservatory in Munich (now the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München), serving as its director until 1864. He retired in 1865 to Karlsruhe and two years later to Freiburg im Breisgau.

paragraph: Contemporary critics considered Hauser cold as an actor but approved of his pure voice. He was known for his interpretation of Weber and as Figaro (both Rossini's and Mozart's), Bertram, William Tell, and Spohr's Faust.

paragraph: Hauser had many students including Jenny Lind and Henriette Sontag. He wrote a popular singing manual, "Gesanglehre für Lehrer und Lernende" (Leipzig, 1866) (freely available through Google books). As a composer, he was known for his songs. His correspondence with composer Moritz Hauptmann was published in two volumes in 1871.

paragraph: Hauser's greatest significance today is as a collector of musical manuscripts –most notably of the composer Johann Sebastian Bach- assembling the greatest 19th century collection of that composer's manuscripts. He was a consultant for the Bach-Gesellschaft edition and prepared a thematic catalogue of Bach's works. Most of Hauser's Bach manuscripts (including 19 cantatas, the accompanied sonatas for violin, and the English suites for keyboard) were acquired by the Berlin Royal Library in 1904. Others were destroyed in 1945. Parts of his collection are also in the Darmstadt Landesbibliothek and the Harvard University Loeb Music Library.

paragraph: His son, Moritz Hauser (1827–1857), became a theater director in Königsberg and a minor composer.

paragraph: Henri Nouvel

paragraph: Henri Nouvel (1621 or 1624 in Pezenas, Herault (France) – between October 1701 and October 1702 at the St. Francis Xavier Mission

paragraph: near Baie des Puants) was a Jesuit priest who spent forty years as a missionary to Native American communities of New France. Nouvel was the first missionary on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River; and he visited Saginaw 26 years before the French built a fort in Detroit (1701).

paragraph: Nouvel was already a priest when he entered the Jesuit order in August 1648, and performed religious functions in France until 1662. He sailed for New France in 1662 as a missionary, arriving in Quebec in August 1662. During his first year in North America, he devoted himself to learning Indian languages. At the end of 1663, he established his first mission in the Rimouski area. Between 1664 and 1669, he did missionary work in the Montagnais territory at Lake Manicouagan.

paragraph: In 1671, he was sent from to the Jesuit missions in the Great Lakes amongst the Odawa people. Nouvel made several trips to various Native American communities before being appointed superior of the Jesuit missions to the Ottowas in the region in 1672. He was "superior of the Otawa Missions", a position he would hold from 1672 to 1680 (with a two-year break in 1678-1679), and again from 1688 to 1695. In 1673, he informed Governor Louis de Buade de Frontenac about fur trading threats with the Indians. In 1674-75, he divided his time between Mission Sainte-Marie and St. Ignace Mission, but was stationed at St. Ignace in 1677 and 1678. He traveled between the Amikwa, Odawa, and Saginaw. He attended the burial of Father Jacques Marquette in 1677 at the St. Ignace Mission.

paragraph: Between 1688 and 1695, during his second term as superior of the Outaouais mission, Nouvel intervened in the conflict between the Jesuit missionaries and Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac over raids on Native American warriors and trafficking of Eau de vie. During most of his last twenty years of ministry, he lived at the mission of St. Francis Xavier Mission near Green Bay, where he died between late 1701 and October 1702.

paragraph: Pointe-au-Père, Quebec (English: "Father Point") is named after Henri Nouvel, who celebrated the first mass there in 1663.

paragraph: Joaquín Ibáñez, Baron de Eroles

paragraph: Joaquín Ibáñez Cuevas y de Valonga, Baron de Eroles (1784 – 22 August 1825) led a Spanish division against Imperial France in a number of actions during the Peninsular War. A lawyer at the outbreak of war, he took command of guerillas who resisted the French occupation of his native Catalonia. He fought at Molins de Rey in 1808. Captured by the French at Gerona in 1809, he later escaped. By 1810 he led one of four regular divisions of the Army of Catalonia. In November 1810 he destroyed a French convoy at La Junquera. His men were driven off Montserrat Mountain on 25 July 1811. His division wiped out a French column at Col de Balaguer on 18 January 1812. Six days later he was badly beaten at Altafulla when he mistakenly attacked Maurice Mathieu's superior French force in a thick fog. On 5 March he defeated a French force that attacked him at Roda de Isábena. Later in the war he liberated a number of towns from the French.

paragraph: After the war he was admitted to the Royal Fine Arts Academy of Barcelona. A believer in absolutism, he opposed the Trienio Liberal in 1820 and retired to his estate before fleeing to France. He supported the reimposition of absolutist government by French intervention, called the Hundred Thousand Sons of St. Louis. He was appointed Captain General of Catalonia in 1823 but died in somewhat mysterious circumstances in 1825.

paragraph: Barquq

paragraph: Al-Malik Az-Zahir Sayf ad-Din Barquq () (ruled 1382–1389 and 1390–1399) was the first Sultan of the Mamluk Burji dynasty.

paragraph: The name Barquq means "plum" in Arabic, and was taken by Barquq on his arrival in Egypt.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Barquq was of Circassian origin, and was acquired as a slave and became a mamluk in the household of Yalbugha al-Umari in approximately 1363-64 (or 764 on the Islamic calendar). During the reign of Sultan al-Mansur Ali, when Barquq held considerable influence in the Mamluk state, he brought his father Anas to Egypt in March 1381. Anas converted to Islam and became the first father of a first-generation mamluk to be mentioned by the Mamluk era sources because of his Muslim faith; the fathers of first generation mamluks were typically non-Muslims. Anas was promoted to the rank of emir of one hundred (the highest Mamluk military rank) and was known for his piety, kindness and charitable acts. He died ten months after his arrival to Egypt.

paragraph: Section::::Rise to power.

paragraph: Since 1341, the Mamluk empire had been ruled by the descendants of al-Nasir Muhammad. However, none of them were strong enough to exert effective control. Many of the rulers were minors at the time of their accession, and would act as puppets for one or another competing Mamluk faction.

paragraph: This happened in 1377, when the sultan al-Ashraf Sha'ban, who had ruled in his own stead since 1366, was overthrown and killed. The rebelling Mamluks replaced him on the throne with his seven-year-old son. When that puppet sultan died, he was replaced by the younger brother.

paragraph: Barquq was a member of the faction behind the throne, serving in various powerful capacities in the court of the boy sultans. He consolidated his power until in November 1382 he was able to depose sultan al-Salih Hajji and claim the sultanate for himself. He took the reign name al-Zahir, perhaps in imitation of the sultan al-Zahir Baybars.

paragraph: Section::::First reign (1382–1389).

paragraph: Barquq placed many of his own family in positions of power to the detriment of fellow Mamluks, attempting to solidify his position.

paragraph: He sponsored the construction of the Madrasa-Khanqa of Sultan Barquq in the center of Cairo. Completed in 1386, it was a pious foundation designed to serve as both a khanqah and a madrasa. It is one of the three dominant Islamic monuments clustered on the street Bayn al-Qasrayn in Fatimid Cairo. Although often called the Mausoleum of Barquq, only his daughter is buried there.

paragraph: Barquq ended the public holiday in Egypt celebrating the Coptic New Year Nayrouz.

paragraph: The central caravanserai of the famous Cairo souk Khan El-Khalili was founded in the first year of his first reign, though it was founded by his emir, Djaharks el-Khalili.

paragraph: Section::::Revolt.

paragraph: Early on, the Zahiri Revolt threatened to overthrow Barquq, though the conspiracy was discovered before any agitators could mobilize. The year 1389 saw the revolt of two Mamluk governors from the northern end of the empire, Mintash, governor of Malatya, and Yalbogha al-Nasiri, governor of Aleppo (not to be confused with Yalbogha al-`Umari). After securing Syria they marched toward Cairo. Barquq attempted to escape, but was captured and sent to al-Karak. Meanwhile, the two governors restored Hajji to the throne, who now took the reign name al-Mansur. Fighting developed among the Mamluk factions in Cairo, and Barquq's supporters overcame the rebels. Barquq returned to Cairo in February 1390.

paragraph: Section::::Second reign (1390–1399).

paragraph: During Barquq's second reign he succeeded in replacing almost all governors and senior officials with members of his own household. Barquq became an enemy of the Mongol warlord Timur after Timur's invasion of Baghdad, and his intention to invade Syria. After 1393, he joined an alliance with the Ottoman Empire, but Timur invaded and defeated the Mamluks at Damascus and sacked it along with Aleppo in 1399. Timur then invaded the Ottoman Empire and defeated them at the Battle of Ankara, sacked it and captured the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I. Barquq died in June 1399 (Shawwal 801H in the Islamic Calendar) and was buried in Cairo's Northern Cemetery. He was succeeded by his son Nasir-ad-Din Faraj.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Sultan Barquq's reign was also marked by trade with other contemporaneous polities. Excavations in the late 1800s and early 1900s in modern-day northwestern Somalia unearthed, among other things, coins identified as having been derived from Barquq. All of the pieces had been struck in either Cairo or Damascus. Most of these finds are associated with the medieval Sultanate of Adal. They were sent to the British Museum in London for preservation shortly after their discovery.

paragraph: Adad-nirari I

paragraph: Adad-nārārī I, rendered in all but two inscriptions ideographically as "adad-", meaning “Adad (is) my helper,” (1307–1275 BC or 1295–1263 BC short chronology) was a king of Assyria during the Middle Assyrian Empire. He is the earliest Assyrian king whose annals survive in any detail. Adad-nārārī I achieved major military victories that further strengthened Assyria. In his inscriptions from Assur he calls himself son of Arik-den-ili, the same filiations being recorded in the Nassouhi kinglist. He is recorded as a son of lIlil-nerari in the Khorsabad kinglist and the SDAS kinglist, probably in error.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He boasted that he was the “defeater of the heroic armies of the Kassites (their Babylonian neighbors to the south), Qutu (their eastern Gutean neighbors), Lullumu (the Lullubi tribesmen of Ancient Iran immediately east of Assyria) and Shubaru (“northerners in Asia Minor”). Pacifier of all enemies above and below.” The defeat of Nazi-Maruttaš’ Kassite forces must have been particularly sweet as his father “could not rectify the calamities inflicted by the king of the Kassite lands,” during his reign. It took place at the town of Kār Ištar in the province of Ugarsulu and victory was assured when Adad Nirari's army fell on the Kassite camp “like a devastating flood,” as described gloatingly by Tukulti-Ninurta I in his eponymous epic, plundering and carrying off his royal standard. This triumph resulted in a border realignment with Assyria extending its territory south, into Pilasqu, the city of Arman in Ugarsallu and Lullumu.

paragraph: Nazi-Maruttaš’ successor, Kadašman-Turgu was sufficiently motivated to secure peace that he seems to have agreed to a humiliating treaty with Adad Nirari where “he pardoned his (Nazi-Maruttaš’) son of the crime,” twice. This allowed the Assyrians to turn their attention to the conquest of the Mitanni. Under Shattiwaza, Hanigalbat (a remnant of the Mitanni empire) had become a vassal state of the Hittite empire, celebrated with a treaty, as a buffer to the ascendant Assyrians. But treaties were between individual kings during the late bronze age as nation states had yet to emerge and with the accession of Shattuara I in Hanigalbat and Urhi Teššup as Mursili III of the Hittites and a waning of Hittite engagement in international affairs, the former may have sought to adopt a more independent position. According to Adad-nārārī, conflict was triggered by Shattuara’s preemptive attack which resulted in the defeat and capture of the Mitanni king Shattuara, who was taken to Aššur and forced to swear fealty as a vassal of the Assyrians, apparently without the intervention of the Hittites, providing regular tribute for the remainder of his reign. Bolstered by his military victories, Adad-nārārī pronounced himself "šar kiššati", “king of the universe,” in imitation of his ancient predecessor Shamshi-Adad I, and impertinently greeted his Hittite counterpart on equal terms as a fellow “great king.” He invited himself to visit Amman Mountain (Amanus, a cult center perhaps?) in his “brother’s” territory, drawing a scathing put down from Hittite king Urhi Teššup,

paragraph: By the time Hittite king Hattušili (c. 1267–1237 BC) overthrew Urhi Teššup, the conquest was a fait accompli and a sheepish Hattušili was to request that Adad-nārārī intervene to curb the incursions of the people of Turira, a Hanigalbat frontier town, against those of Carchemish, still a loyal Hittite vassal, “If Turira is yours, smash it!... If Turira is not yours, write to me so that I may smash it. The possessions of your troops who are dwelling in the city shall not be claimed.” Hattušili's main complaint, however, was the breach in protocol caused when Adad-nārārī snubbed his inauguration: “It is the custom that when kings assume kingship, the kings, his equals in rank, send him appropriate [gifts of greeting]. Clothing befitting kingship, and fine [oil] for his anointing. But you did not do this today.” Hattušili was at great pains to placate his Assyrian counterpart following the “sad experiences” encountered by his envoys in their dealings with his predecessor and call on Adad-nārārī to confirm with his own envoy, Bel-qarrad, that he had been treated well by Hattušili. Although still in the Bronze Age, iron was not unknown and Hattušili goes on to discuss Adad-nārārī's request for the metal:

paragraph: Conflict with Hanigalbat resumed when Shattuara's son, Wasashatta, rebelled and engaged with the Hittites for support. Adad-nārārī was later to gloat that the Hittites took his gifts but gave nothing in return when he (Adad-nārārī) counterattacked, sacking and plundering the cities of Amasaku, Kahat, Shuru, Nabula, Hurra, Irridu, Shuduhu and Washshukanu, places largely as yet unidentified, destroying the city of Taida and sowing kudimmus over it. The denouement took place at Irridu (Ordi?) where Wasashatta was captured and, along with his extended family and court, deported in fetters to Aššur where he vanished from history. Adad-nārārī annexed the kingdom of Hanigalbat, enslaved its people, and appointed a governor drawn from the Assyrian aristocracy. While the name of this individual is unknown, one of his successors, during the later reign of Šulmanu-ašaredu, was Qibi Assur who founded a short dynasty of Assyrian viceroys ruling over this region.

paragraph: The seat of Assyrian governance was possibly Wasashatta's former capital, Taida, because his monumental steles recounted that it “had become dilapidated and (he) removed its debris. (He) restored it,” rebuilding the palace replete with a suitably boastful commemorative inscription prepared but never installed as it was found in the ruins of Assur. His building restorations in the city of Assur were celebrated in monumental inscriptions and include the Step Gate of the temple of the god Ashur, various of the city's walls, its quay along the river Tigris, the temple of Ishtar and the storehouses of the gate of An and Adad.

paragraph: His reign lasted for 33 years, but only around 12 Limmu officials, from the Assyrian Eponym dating system have been identified, primarily from monumental inscriptions, and these include Shulmanu-qarradu, Andarasina, Ashur-eresh, variant Ashur-erish (son of Abattu), Ana-Ashur-qalla (officer of the palace), Iti-ili-ashamshu, Sha-Adad-ninu, Qarrad-Ashur, Assur-dammiq, Sin-n[a...], Ninurta-emuqaya, Bābu-aḫa-iddina and Adad-šumu-lesir, the eponym in whose year he died. Bābu-aḫa-iddina was a high-ranking official, some sources say “chancellor,” son of Ibassi-ili, who served under Adad-nārārī and his two successors. He celebrated his eponym year towards the end of Adad-nārārī's reign as attested in texts relating the activities of Assur-kasid son of Sin-apla-eris at Billa. His archive, called “archive 14410,” consisting of 60 tablets was found in a tomb under a house in Assur.

paragraph: A bronze sword of Adad-nārārī I can be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:The Adad-nārārī epic.

paragraph: This historical epic is extant in four fragments and concerns the conflict between Adad-nārārī and his Babylonian contemporary Nazi-Maruttash, with whom he clashes and ultimately vanquishes in battle. The surviving pieces do not allow for a detailed narrative to be reconstructed. They do, however, suggest a sequence of events, where Adad-nārārī harks back to the setbacks faced by his father, “the seed of the men has disappeared forever,” his petitioning of the god Šamaš, “O Šamaš you are the true judge,” in preparation for his denouement with “the unjust Kassite king,” and so on.

paragraph: Dušan Dimitrijević

paragraph: Dušan Dimitrijević (; December 9, 1882 – August 6, 1964), known as Vojvoda Dule (Војвода Дуле), was a Serbian Chetnik commander active in Old Serbia during the Macedonian Struggle, also participating in the Balkan Wars and as a regular soldier in the First World War.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Dimitrijević was born on December 9, 1882, in Rabrovo (now part of Kučevo), in the Kingdom of Serbia (present-day Serbia). As a student in the Great Law School he joined the work of Youth groups against the Obrenović dynasty. As an editor of "Oslobođenje" ("Liberation"), he gave moral support to the Chetnik Organization. In 1904 he himself joined the "četa" (band) of Vojislav Tankosić and participated in the Fight on Čelopek. On the eve of the First Balkan War he was part of an important mission sent to the Albanians, and met with Isa Boletini. In 1912 he showed courage in the regular units of the Serbian Army. He was seriously wounded during the First Balkan War but did not wish to wait for a full recovery, instead rejoined his unit only half recovered. In the First World War he was a guerilla fighter, and he established a Serbian conspirational organization in the vicinity of Visoki, Sarajevo and Srebrenica in 1914. He was seriously wounded three more times, but as before he rejoined his unit at the front half recovered. He was awarded the Order of the Star of Karađorđe with Swords (IV). He was the chief of the Serbian delegation at the Allied Reparations Committee in Paris. After the War, he returned to law and published a series of books in the field.

paragraph: Abdallah ibn Khordadbeh

paragraph: Abdallah ibn Khordadbeh () was a Persian general and governor for the Abbasid Caliphate.

paragraph: He was the son of Khordadbeh, a Zoroastrian from Khurasan who converted to Islam. By ca. 815, Abdallah served as the governor of Tabaristan, and conquered the mountainous regions of Tabaristan from the local Bavandid ruler Sharwin I. During the same year, he campaigned in Daylam, where he conquered two cities and captured its ruler Abu Layla. In 817, he aided Mazyar, an Iranian prince, to escape from Tabaristan and reach the court of the Abbasid caliph al-Ma'mun. Abdallah was also a friend of the Persian musician Ishaq al-Mawsili.

paragraph: Not much more is known about Abdallah; he had a son named Abu'l-Qasim Ubaydallah, better known as Ibn Khordadbeh, who was born in 820 in Khurasan and was later raised in Baghdad, where Abdallah probably then resided. He thereafter disappears from sources, and later died at an unknown date in the 9th-century.

paragraph: Florence Marly

paragraph: Florence Marly (2 June 1919 – 9 November 1978) was a Czech-born French film actress. During World War II, Marly moved to neutral Argentina with her Jewish husband, film director Pierre Chenal, where she appeared in several films. She also acted in two of her husband's films while they were in Chile.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: She played a major role in René Clément's "Les Maudits", a fictionalized account showing the fate of Nazi refugees. After moving to Hollywood, she acted in Paramount's "Sealed Verdict" opposite Ray Milland. Next year, she starred in Stuart Heisler's "Tokyo Joe" (1949) alongside Humphrey Bogart. In it she played Bogart's wife, whom he divorces after she moves to the US from Japan during World War II. The film met with mixed responses from critics. Clive Hirschhorn wrote in his book, "The Columbia Story", that it was "a little more than a Bogart parody". Marly's acting in the espionage film "Tokyo File 212" brought her appreciations. Robert J. Lentz wrote in "Korean War Filmography" that she had given the best performance in the film. It was Hollywood's first feature film to be shot entirely in Japan.

paragraph: In 1962 she appeared in a small role as a gangster's girlfriend in the Twilight Zone episode "Dead Man's Shoes". She had the eponymous role of a blood-thirsty vampire queen in Curtis Harrington-directed science fiction horror film "Queen of Blood" (1966), based on a novel by Charles Nuetzel. It met with positive reviews. Paul Meehan wrote in "Saucer Movies" that she gave a "convincing" performance. Marly made a 16 mm sequel to "Queen of Blood" titled "Space Boy!" (1973).

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: At a dinner, director Fritz Lang bit Marly's hand. During the early years of her acting career, the U.S. Consulate mistook her for the Russian-born, left-inclined, singer and songwriter Anna Marly, and she was subsequently blacklisted in Hollywood by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Even after she was cleared from the blacklist, at a Hollywood party Jack L. Warner "turned his back on [her]". Noël Coward, in a letter, called her a "rather sweet" "beautiful Czech lady". She was married to Chenal from 1937 to 1955. In 1956 she married the Austrian Count Degenhart von Wurmbrand-Stuppach (1893-1965) but divorced the same year.
