paragraph: David Bradford (lawyer)

paragraph: David Bradford (1762–1808) was a successful lawyer and deputy attorney-general for Washington County, Pennsylvania in the late 18th century. He was infamous for his association with the Whiskey Rebellion, and his fictionalized escape to the Spanish-owned territory of West Florida (modern-day Louisiana) with soldiers at his tail. He was later pardoned by President John Adams for his actions. Today, his family's home in Washington, Pennsylvania is a national landmark and museum.

paragraph: Section::::Political life.

paragraph: Throughout the early 18th century, what is now Washington County was claimed by both Virginia and Pennsylvania. It wasn't until March 28, 1781, the drawing of the Mason–Dixon line officially gave this land to Pennsylvania. Washington County was erected out of Westmoreland County at that time, and Washington, the county seat, was laid out by David Hoge later that same year. The following year, 1782, David Bradford, who was born in Maryland about 1760, came to town. Court records indicate that in April 1782 he was the sixth attorney to be admitted to the Washington County Bar Association. A brilliant young lawyer, he quickly established a very successful practice, and by 1783 he had been appointed deputy attorney-general for Washington County.

paragraph: David Bradford had important family connections in town. One of his sisters, Agnes, had married John McDowell, a prominent local attorney; another sister, Jane, had married Col. James Allison, a lawyer who had settled in the Chartiers Valley in 1774. Both McDowell and Allison were elders in the Rev. John McMillan's Chartiers Church, and they also were among the first trustees of both Canonsburg and Washington Academies. David Bradford joined his brothers-in-law as a trustee of Washington College (now Washington & Jefferson College) and was appointed a member of the building committee. He was instrumental in building McMillan Hall at Washington College, which is one of the oldest surviving educational buildings in the nation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

paragraph: Bradford also became active in political affairs, and by 1791 he was becoming more and more absorbed in the escalating protest over a whiskey tax which had been levied by the federal government that year, and the general treatment of Western Pennsylvanians by the East.

paragraph: Section::::The Whiskey Rebellion.

paragraph: By 1794, Bradford had become a prominent figure in the Whiskey Rebellion, an insurrection that was caused, in part, by the lack of federal courts (which necessitated trips to Philadelphia for trial), large numbers of absentee landlords, conflicts with American Indians, and, most importantly, the high excise tax on whiskey. President George Washington ordered 13,000 troops to the Washington, Pennsylvania area as the first test of the power of the new government. When the militias arrived in Parkison's Ferry (now Monongahela, Pennsylvania), they began arresting suspected rebels. Among those who had warrants out for their arrest was Bradford.

paragraph: Section::::The Whiskey Rebellion.:Bradford's legendary escape.

paragraph: According to Harriet Branton's book, "David Bradford and His House", Bradford was at home on October 25, 1794, when he was warned of the approach of a cavalry unit with orders to capture him. Bradford leaped from a rear window of his house onto his waiting horse, galloping off into the night. With the soldiers in hot pursuit of him (there was a price of $500 on his head), Bradford made it to McKees Rocks, where he traded his "faithful grey horse" for a skiff and set out down the Ohio River. A touch-and-go gun battle with his pursuers went on all night but he managed to slip through by staying close to the opposite shore of the river.

paragraph: Once Bradford reached Louisiana, he sent for the rest of his family.

paragraph: Section::::The Whiskey Rebellion.:The real escape.

paragraph: Contrary to popular legend, Bradford did not leap from a rear window to escape arrest. Rather, he left Washington at a leisurely pace and went to Pittsburgh. From there he took a coal barge down the Ohio River to what is now Portsmouth, Ohio and (possibly later) to Spanish West Florida (New Orleans). According to the former historical collections director at Washington and Jefferson College, Charles M. Ewing, Federal authorities were most likely not too anxious to catch Bradford, as they did not want a difficult situation on their hands. Bradford apparently didn't even want to leave but was persuaded to do so by some of the other leaders of the insurrection, who for their own reasons, wanted him out of the way.

paragraph: David Bradford was discovered by some of the troops while he was on a coal barge not far from Pittsburgh, en route to Spanish lands. The ship's captain, a Captain Keene, and crew, apparently saw to it that Bradford was not bothered by the troops. Keene later was involved in the Aaron Burr conspiracy and lived for a while near Bradford in Louisiana.

paragraph: In 1797, David completed a home, the now famed "Most Haunted House in America", The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville. His wife, Elizabeth, and children joined him shortly thereafter. He soon became a wealthy planter. After being pardoned by President John Adams in March 1799, he returned to Washington, Pennsylvania at least once, in 1801, to officially sell his house.

paragraph: Section::::President Adams' pardon.

paragraph: To all persons to whom these presents shall come, Greetings. Whereas David Bradford, late of the county of Washington in the State of Pennsylvania, attorney at law, has in his petition declared his contrition, and sincere repentance of all his errors and misdeeds in relation to the late insurrection in the western parts of the State aforesaid, committed or done against the United States of America, and has implored a pardon for the same, and whereas the sufferings of the said David Bradford an exile in a foreign land, and separated from his wife, his children and his former friends, during the space of more than four years, have already been great, and whereas the restoration of peace, order, and submission to the laws in the said Western parts of the said State render it necessary to make examples of those who may have been criminal, the principal and of heinous punishment being the reformation of offenders and the prevention of crimes in others, for these and other good cause, I—John Adams, President of the United States of America, have granted, and by these presents do grant unto the said David Bradford a full, free, absolute and entire pardon for all treasons, suspicions of treason, felony, misdemeanors and other crimes and offences by him committed or done against the United States, in relation to the Insurrection aforesaid hereby remitting and releasing all pains, and penalties by him incurred by reason of the promises.

paragraph: In Testimony whereof. I have hereto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed this ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thou. and seven hundred and ninety-nine, and in the Twenty-third year of the Independence of the said "United States"

paragraph: John Adams, By the President, Timothy Pickering, Secretary of State.

paragraph: Section::::Home.

paragraph: Bradford built the first stone house on South Main Street in Washington, Pennsylvania in 1788, which, by frontier standards, ranked as a mansion. The handsome stairway was solid mahogany; the mantel-pieces and other interior furnishings, imported from Philadelphia, were transported across the Alleghenies at considerable expense. The David Bradford House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983.

paragraph: The Myrtles Plantation was built in 1794 by General David Bradford and was called Laurel Grove at the time. General Bradford lived there alone for several years, until being pardoned for his role in the Whiskey Rebellion in 1799. He then moved his wife Elizabeth and their five children to the plantation from Pennsylvania.

paragraph: Samuel Chapin

paragraph: Samuel Chapin (bp October 8, 1598 – November 11, 1675) was a prominent early settler of Springfield, Massachusetts. He served the town as selectman, magistrate and deacon (in the Massachusetts Bay Colony there was little separation between the church and government). Chapin is best known today as the subject of the Augustus Saint-Gaudens sculpture entitled "Deacon Samuel Chapin" (also known as "The Puritan").

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Chapin was born in Paignton (near Torquay), Devon, England, to John Chapin and Phillipe Easton. His baptism is recorded as October 8, 1598.

paragraph: On February 9, 1623/4, Samuel married Cicely Penny. They had seven children: David, Catherine, Sarah, Josiah, Henry, Japhet and Hannah. The oldest five children were born in England and the last two in Massachusetts, Japhet in Roxbury and Hannah in Springfield.

paragraph: He immigrated to America either with or shortly after William Pynchon, between 1630 and 1635, and became a full member of John Eliot's congregation at Roxbury (later incorporated into the city of Boston). The Chapins lived in Roxbury till the close of the year 1642, as on 15 of October of that year Japhet was baptized there. Soon after this, however, they must have moved to Springfield, for we find them there in January 1642/3.

paragraph: On 26 September 1644, Samuel Chapin was chosen for a committee of five to order the prudential affairs of the town. This prudential committee was in reality the first board of Selectmen in Springfield. The Selectmen, or Townsmen as they were sometimes called, were generally five in number. They were elected by a vote of all the freemen of the town at the town meeting, and were to serve for one year. They settled disputes, heard complaints, admitted inhabitants, regulated highways, bridges, fences, finances, etc., and had a general supervision over all the affairs of the town.

paragraph: Samuel Chapin held the office of Selectman continuously from 26 September 1644, to 22 November 1652, when having taken the oath of a Commissioner, he could no longer serve as Selectman.

paragraph: After the Massachusetts General Court's displeasure with William Pynchon's heresy, Pynchon had to resign as the magistrate of Springfield in 1651. The office was taken up by his son-in-law, Henry Smith but in the summer of 1652 Pynchon and Smith left for England. In October 1652, Chapin, Pynchon's son John and another Pynchon son-in-law, Elizur Holyoke, were appointed town Commissioners (essentially a board of magistrates). They had full power and authority to govern the inhabitants of Springfield; to hear and determine all cases and offenses, both civil and criminal, and to inflict all punishments not reaching life, limb, or banishment; to give oaths to constables; and to examine witnesses on oath. He apparently held office as a commissioner until 1660/1. Chapin then alternated between being a selectman (1660 and 1663) and a commissioner (1662, 1664 and 1665).

paragraph: Chapin was actively interested in the church and appears to have been a deacon as early as 1650.

paragraph: Chapin died in Springfield in November 1675 shortly after the town was devastated in King Philip's War. In October 1675 Chief Metacomet (known as "King Philip") visited the Agawam Indians (of the Pocomtuc tribe) residing within the town and incited them to mount an attack on Springfield. Despite the inhabitants being warned of the attack many of the houses and barns were burned to the ground, as were its saw and grist mills. Cicely survived him by just over seven years, dying in February 1682. All their children grew to adulthood, married, and produced a total of 72 grandchildren, most of whom grew up and married.

paragraph: Section::::Commemoration.

paragraph: In 1881, Chester W. Chapin, a railroad tycoon, congressman and Chapin descendant, commissioned master sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens to produce a work memorializing his ancestor. The sculpture, most commonly known as "The Puritan", is currently sited in Springfield's Merrick Park. It emphasizes the piety, and perhaps moral rigidity, of the country's religious founders—evident in the sculpted Chapin's proud pose, certain stride, flowing cape and hefty Bible, as well as his assertive use of a walking cane. Smaller variants of the same work can be found in several museums.

paragraph: Section::::Descendants.

paragraph: Samuel Chapin had many famous direct descendants, including United States Presidents Grover Cleveland and William Howard Taft, Canadian Prime Minister Richard Bedford Bennett, abolitionist and author Harriet Beecher Stowe, abolitionists Henry Ward Beecher and John Brown, financier J.P. Morgan, poet and playwright T.S. Eliot, auto industry pioneer Roy D. Chapin and auto executive Roy D. Chapin Jr., American painter James Ormsbee Chapin, and James Ormsbee's son, jazz drummer Jim Chapin, and his sons, singers Harry Chapin, Tom Chapin and Steve Chapin; singer Mary Chapin Carpenter; banker Timothy J. Sloan ; Dwight L. Chapin; and world champion sailor Dave Chapin.

paragraph: Östen Warnerbring (22 November 1934 – 18 January 2006), also known as Östen med Rösten (lit. "Östen with the Voice"), was a Swedish singer, musician, composer and lyrics writer who mastered several musical genres. He started out as a jazz musician but over the years, he became known as a singer of popular music, schlager music, and of Swedish poetry put into music by himself. In the 1970s, he became one of the first Swedish artists to use his native accent, of the province of Scania (Skåne) in the south of Sweden, also while singing.

His major breakthrough came in 1965, when he sang "En röd blomma till en blond flicka", a Swedish version of "Red Roses for a Blue Lady". He was a popular cabaret artist, and also performed in musicals and on television.

paragraph: Ernesto Civardi

paragraph: Ernesto Civardi (21 October 1906 – 28 November 1989) was an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Secretary of the Sacred Congregation for Bishops from 1967 to 1979, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1979.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Civardi was born in Fossarmato, Pavia, and studied at the seminary in Pavia before being ordained to the priesthood on 29 June 1930. He then entered the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, from where he obtained his doctorate in canon law. He became a lawyer of the legal section of the Roman Rota as well. His elder brother Luigi (1886–1971) became a bishop in 1962.

paragraph: Civardi served as Vice-Rector of the Pontifical Lombard Seminary in Rome from 1932 to 1934, when he began pastoral work in Rome and became an official of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation. He was raised to the rank of Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on 15 July 1950, and was Substitute (1953–1965) and Undersecretary (1965–1967) of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation. Civardi was also named Commissary of the Sacred Congregation for the Discipline of the Sacraments and Promoter of Justice on the Vatican City Tribunal in 1953. He later became a referendary (18 November 1958) and voting prelate (10 October 1962) of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature, and served as a "peritus", or theological expert, at the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). From 1965 to 1967, he was Counselor of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith.

paragraph: On 17 May 1967, Civardi was appointed Secretary of the Sacred Congregation for Bishops by Pope Paul VI, and later Titular Archbishop of "Serdica" on 26 June of that same year. He received his episcopal consecration on the following July 16 from Pope Paul himself, with Bishops Augusto Gianfranceschi and Jacques-Paul Martin serving as co-consecrators, in St. Peter's Basilica. As Secretary, Civardi served as the second-highest official of that dicastery, successively under Cardinals Carlo Confalonieri and Sebastiano Baggio. In January 1968, Civardi visited Cardinal Giacomo Lercaro, and informed him of the Pope Paul's decision to accept his resignation as Archbishop of Bologna.

paragraph: On the day of his consecration he was named Secretary of the Sacred College of Cardinals, in addition to his duties in the Congregation for Bishops. As such, he acted as secretary of the papal conclaves of August and October 1978, although, not being a cardinal, he could not vote. When the newly elected Pope John Paul I's private secretary, Fr. Diego Lorenzi, accidentally entered the Apostolic Palace whilst it was still sealed for the conclave and encountered Civardi, the latter jokingly said, "You realize you are excommunicated." Lorenzi, rather unfamiliar with Vatican protocol, replied, "If I am, the Pope will restore me to the Communion of Saints."

paragraph: Pope John Paul II created him Cardinal-Deacon of in the consistory of 30 June 1979, whereupon he ceased to serve as Secretary of the Congregation for Bishops. Civardi lost the right to participate in any future papal conclaves upon reaching the age of eighty on October 21, 1986. He was a self-proclaimed "man of the Curia".

paragraph: The Cardinal died in Rome at age 83. Following a funeral Mass celebrated by John Paul II at the altar of the Chair of St. Peter, he was buried in the chapel of the "Confraternita dei Lombardi" at the Campo Verano cemetery.

paragraph: John Corriveau

paragraph: John Dennis Corriveau (born July 27, 1941) is a Canadian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served successively as the seventy-first Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin and the sixth Bishop of Nelson.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: John Corriveau was born on the shores of Lake Huron in Zurich, Ontario. He was initially attracted to the diocesan priesthood, but decided to enter the religious life like one of his cousins (who was a Redemptorist). He attended the Capuchin minor seminary in Blenheim, and then went to the United States to continue his education. He studied at the Capuchin novitiate in Cumberland, Maryland, St. Fidelis College (1960–1962) in Herman, Pennsylvania, and Capuchin College in Washington, D.C. (1962–1966), from where he obtained his MA in religious education.

paragraph: Corriveau made his temporary vows as a Capuchin on July 14, 1960, and his perpetual profession exactly three years later, on July 14, 1963. Following his was priestly ordination on October 23, 1965, he served as a lecturer and the prefect of discipline at Mount Alverno Minor Seminary in Toronto, Ontario.

paragraph: Corriveau was elected Councillor of the vice-province of Central Canada in 1969; during his three-year-long tenure as Councillor, he also held the office of Guardian and Chaplain for the Christian Brothers. He was elected Minister of the vice-province being in both 1971 and 1974. He then served as President of the Conference of Capuchins of North America until 1975, whence he became pastor of St. Philip Neri Parish in Toronto. In 1980, he was nominated to serve on the General Council of the Capuchins. After a sabbatical year, he was once again elected Provincial of Central Canada in 1989. During that same year, he began a year's study of pastoral theology at Berkeley in California.

paragraph: Corriveau was the worldwide head of his religious order as the seventy-first Minister General of the Capuchins from 1994 to 2006; although his headquarters were located in Rome, he travelled for the majority of the year. He once said of the post, "The general minister is not so much an authority figure but a charismatic figure representing our contact with St. Francis". Upon his return to Canada, he began work at St. Francis' Table, a restaurant for the poor in Parkdale, where the Capuchin priest welcomed guests and served as a waiter, whilst doing parish work on weekends.

paragraph: On November 30, 2007, he was appointed the sixth Bishop of Nelson, British Columbia, by Pope Benedict XVI. Corriveau received his episcopal consecration on January 30, 2008, from Archbishop Luigi Ventura, with Archbishop Raymond Roussin and Bishop Eugene Cooney serving as co-consecrators, in the Cathedral of Nelson. He was formally installed as bishop on January 31.

paragraph: Corriveau took as his episcopal motto, ""Pacificans per sanguinem crucis eius"" (Colossians 1:20), or "Making peace through the blood of His cross."

paragraph: Empress Shōshi

paragraph: , also known as , the eldest daughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga, was Empress of Japan from c. 1000 to c. 1011. Her father sent her to live in the Emperor Ichijō's harem at age 12. Because of his power, influence and political machinations she quickly achieved the status of . As empress she was able to surround herself with a court of talented and educated ladies-in-waiting such as Murasaki Shikibu, author of "The Tale of Genji".

paragraph: By the age of 20, she bore two sons to Ichijō, both of whom went on to become emperors and secured the status of the Fujiwara line. In her late 30s she took vows as a Buddhist nun, renouncing imperial duties and titles, assuming the title of Imperial Lady. She continued to be an influential member of the imperial family until her death at age 86.

paragraph: Section::::Empress.

paragraph: In the middle of the 9th century Fujiwara no Yoshifusa declared himself regent to Emperor Seiwa—his young grandson—the Fujiwara clan dominated court politics until the end of the 11th century, through strategic marriages of Fujiwara daughters into the imperial family and the use of regencies. Fujiwara no Michinaga had four daughters he arranged to marry to emperors. At this period emperors held little power, holding a nominal position for rituals, and often too young to make decisions. In their stead, the top position in the power structure was held by a regent, with power often measured by the how closely the regent was tied by family relationships to an emperor. In 995 Michinaga's two brothers Fujiwara no Michitaka and Fujiwara no Michikane died in rapid succession, leaving the regency vacant; Michinaga won a power struggle against his nephew Fujiwara no Korechika, brother to Emperor Ichijō's wife Teishi, aided by his sister Senshi (mother to Emperor Ichijō, Emperor En'yū's wife). Because Teishi supported Korechika—later discredited and banished from court—her base of power disintegrated.

paragraph: Four years later Michinaga sent Shōshi, his eldest daughter, to Emperor Ichijō's harem when she was about 12. A year after placing Shōshi in the imperial harem, in an effort to undermine Teishi's influence and increase Shōshi's standing, Michinaga had her named Empress although Teishi already held the title. As historian Donald Shively explains, "Michinaga shocked even his admirers by arranging for the unprecedented appointment of Teishi (or Sadako) and Shōshi as concurrent empresses of the same emperor, Teishi holding the usual title of "Lustrous Heir-bearer" "kōgō" and Shōshi that of "Inner Palatine" ("chūgū"), a toponymically derived equivalent coined for the occasion". She went on to hold the title(s) of Empress Dowager ("Kōtaigō") and Grand Empress Dowager ("Taikōtaigō").

paragraph: Section::::Ladies-in-waiting.

paragraph: To give Shōshi prestige and to make her competitive in a court that valued education and learning, Michinaga sought talented, educated and interesting ladies-in-waiting to build a salon to rival that of Teishi and Seishi (daughter of Emperor Murakami). Michinaga invited Murasaki Shikibu, author of "The Tale of Genji", to Shōshi's court, where she joined Izumi Shikibu and Akazome Emon. At Teishi's court as lady-in-waiting was writer Sei Shōnagon, author of The "Pillow Book". The women at the two empresses' courts wrote some of the best-known and enduring Heian era literature.

paragraph: Although she lived in the Imperial palace, Shōshi's main residence for was in one or another of her father's many mansions, particularly after the Imperial palace burned down in 1005. Shōshi was about 16 when Murasaki joined her court, probably to teach her Chinese. Japanese literature scholar Arthur Waley describes Shōshi as a serious young lady based on a passage from Murasaki who wrote in her diary: "As the years go by Her Majesty is beginning to acquire more experience of life, and no longer judges others by the same rigid standards as before; but meanwhile her Court has gained a reputation for extreme dullness, and is shunned by all who can manage to avoid it". Moreover, Murasaki describes advice Shōshi gave to her ladies-in-waiting to avoid appearing too flirtatious:

paragraph: Her Majesty does indeed still constantly warn us that it is a great mistake to go too far, 'for a single slip may bring very unpleasant consequences,' and so on, in the old style; but she now also begs us not to reject advances in such a way as to hurt people's feelings. Unfortunately, habits of long standing are not so easily changed; moreover, now that the Empress's exceedingly stylish brothers bring so many of their young courtier-friends to amuse themselves at her house, we have in self-defence been obliged to become more virtuous than ever'.

paragraph: Section::::Mother to two emperors.

paragraph: Shōshi gave Ichijō two sons, in 1008 and 1009. The births are described in detail in Murasaki's "The Diary of Lady Murasaki". The boys were born at their grandfather's Tsuchimikado mansion, with Buddhist priests in attendance. With her second son Atsuhira, Shōshi had a difficult birth; to appease evil spirits she underwent a ritual head shaving, although only a lock of hair was cut. This ritual was considered to have been a minor ordination, or "jukai" into Buddhism, for the purpose of receiving divine protection when her life, and that of her unborn infant, was at risk.

paragraph: Ritual ceremonies were followed on specific days after the births. As was customary, Michinaga's first visit to Shōshi took the form of a lavish ritual 16 days after she gave birth. In her diary, Murasaki described the clothing of one woman in attendance, "Her mantle had five cuffs of white lined with dark red, and her crimson gown was of beaten silk". On the 50th day after the birth a ceremony was held in which the infant was offered a piece of mochi; Michinaga performed the ritual offering of the rice cake to his grandson Atsuhira. In her diary Murasaki described the event that she probably attended.

paragraph: Michinaga's influence meant that Shōshi's two sons had a better chance of ascending the throne than Teishi's children—particularly after Teishi's death in 1001. When Ichijō abdicated in 1011 and died soon after, Shōshi's eldest son, the future Emperor Go-Ichijō, was named crown prince. At that time Shōshi retired from the Imperial Palace to live in a Fujiwara mansion in the Lake Biwa region, most likely accompanied by Murasaki. In 1016 when Michinaga had Emperor Sanjō—married to Shōshi's younger sister Kenshi—removed from the throne, Go-Ichijō became emperor. Shōshi's second son, Go-Suzaku, became crown prince in 1017. With an emperor and a crown prince as sons, Shōshi's position was secure and she became a powerful influence at court.

paragraph: For many years Shōshi's power extended to selecting friends and relatives to fill court positions and to approving consorts—decisions that affected the imperial court. The consorts she selected were her father's direct descendants, thus she asserted control of her father's lineage for many years.

paragraph: Section::::Imperial Lady.

paragraph: It was not uncommon for Heian aristocratic women to take religious vows, become "nyūdō", and yet remain in secular life. As her father and her aunt Seishi had done before her, at 39 in 1026, Shōshi underwent an ordination ceremony to become a Buddhist nun. This was done at a lavish ceremony, at a place decorated with gold-leafed illustrated folding screens, priceless gifts were displayed, and courtiers, dressed in sumptuous costumes, were in attendance. The ritual was performed by five priests, three representing the most senior hierarchy of the Buddhist priesthood, one of whom was Shōshi's cousin who performed the hair-cutting ceremony, in which her long hair was cut shoulder-length, called "amasogi" style. At this time she assumed the name Jōtōmon-in. This, her second "jukai", symbolized a transition from Empress to Imperial Lady, a change of lifestyle, and marked her as a novice nun. However, research suggests that political power was gained rather than lost when becoming Imperial Ladies, despite relinquishing imperial duties and devoting themselves to Buddhist rites. As was the custom for noblewomen of her period, Shōshi took ordination rites in steps; much later in life, in yet another ritual, she received full vows and at that time underwent a full shaving of her head.

paragraph: The first two empresses to take title of Imperial Lady were Seishi, later followed by Shōshi. With the title came a new residence and permission to hire men for the household. Shōshi's role as Imperial Lady, as documented in the "Eiga Monogatari", was studied and emulated by imperial women who were to follow her as Imperial Ladies.

paragraph: She died in 1074 aged 86.

paragraph: Omar Souleyman

paragraph: Omar Souleyman () is a Syrian singer and farmer from the village of Tell Tamer near the city of Ra's al-'Ayn in the northeastern region of Syria. He started his career as a part-time wedding singer in his native al-Hasakah Governorate, and while himself a Sunni Arab, he emphasises the influence its culturally diverse milieu has had on his style: "My music is from the community I come from – the Kurdish, the Ashuri, the Arabic, they're all in this community. Even Turkish because it's so near, it's just across the border. And even Iraqi."

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Omar Souleyman, Born in 1966, began his career in 1994, working with a number of musicians with whom he still performs, and around five hundred studio and live albums have been released under his name. Eighty percent of those releases are recordings made at weddings and presented to the married couple, which are later copied and sold at local kiosks. The originality of his music is due to the fact that it mixes sounds of keyboards, electronic beats and vocals.

paragraph: Since the beginning of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, during which his region was affected by intense fighting, he is exiled in Turkey.

paragraph: In October 2013 a newly recorded album "Wenu Wenu" was released by UK label Ribbon Music.

paragraph: Section::::Collaborations and notable appearances.

paragraph: He appeared at the Glastonbury Festival in 2011, and performed during Chaos in Tejas in Austin, Texas in June 2011. In August 2011, Omar Souleyman appeared at Paredes de Coura in Portugal. Souleyman was chosen by Caribou to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that they co-curated in December 2011 in Minehead, England.

paragraph: Eliza Hamilton Holly

paragraph: Eliza Hamilton Holly (November 20, 1799 – October 17, 1859) was the seventh child and second daughter of Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and his wife, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Eliza was born in New York City, New York on November 20, 1799 to Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. Unlike her mother (who was called Eliza as a nickname), her name was Eliza, not Elizabeth; the first name Eliza was given on her baptismal and marriage records.

paragraph: She was a sick infant, about whom Hamilton troubled himself as he began to find solace in his family in the late 1790s. While home with the children in his wife's absence, Hamilton wrote of his three-year-old daughter, "Eliza pouts and plays, and displays more and more her ample stock of Caprice."

paragraph: She was the sister of Philip Hamilton, Angelica Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton Jr., James Alexander Hamilton, John Church Hamilton, William S. Hamilton, and Philip Hamilton (the second).

paragraph: Eliza was only four years old when her father engaged in the duel with Aaron Burr that ended his life. She was one of more than twenty friends and family members of Hamilton to see him in his last hours, and was one of the last sights Hamilton saw, as his wife lined all seven of their living children at the foot of the bed so Hamilton could see them before he died. She and her mother were not a part of Hamilton's funeral processions.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and family.

paragraph: Eliza married Sidney Augustus Holly on July 19, 1825, and they remained married until his death in 1842. Holly, a merchant in New York City, was one of eight children of David Holly (1768–1843), a large land owner in Stamford, Connecticut. Holly's family, descended from one of Stamford's earliest settlers in 1642, was prominent in business and local government.

paragraph: Prior to 1833, Eliza and her husband lived at The Grange (now the Hamilton Grange National Memorial) with her mother, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. Eliza and her mother remained very close for all her life. In a letter written by her mother in December 1832, Eliza was described as being like her father: "You don't know how important you are to me. You step in the steps of your father's kindness, and the more you are with me, the more I see that you are like him."

paragraph: From 1833 to 1842, Eliza and Sidney Holly continued to live with her mother in an East Village, Manhattan townhouse at 4 St. Mark's Place (now known as the Hamilton-Holly House), together with Eliza's brother Alexander Hamilton Jr. and his wife Eliza P. Knox Hamilton. Alexander Jr. had purchased the townhouse for their mother in 1833, using proceeds from the sale of The Grange.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Eliza was widowed on June 26, 1842. That year, she moved with her mother to 63 Prince Street in Lower Manhattan, which had previously been the home of President James Monroe and Samuel L. Gouverneur.

paragraph: In 1848, she and her mother moved to Washington, D.C. They lived near the White House in a house on H Street, where they entertained many guests. On New Year's Day of 1853 alone, their visitors included General Winfield Scott, New York Senator William H. Seward, and President Millard Fillmore. A month after their first meeting with President Fillmore in their house, Eliza and her mother dined at the White House with Fillmore and his wife.

paragraph: Eliza continued to care for her mother until 1854, when her mother died at the age of 97. After her mother's death, it is believed possible that Eliza influenced or expedited the creation of the biography of her father by her brother John Church Hamilton, as she chastised him for his overdue writing based upon their mother's imperative that "Justice shall be done to the memory of my Hamilton."

paragraph: Eliza Hamilton Holly died in Washington, D.C. on October 17, 1859. She and her husband left no descendants. She was buried in Westchester County, New York at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where her sister Angelica Hamilton had been buried two years earlier; in 1878, their brother James Alexander Hamilton was also buried there.

paragraph: James Carnegie, 9th Earl of Southesk

paragraph: James Carnegie, 9th Earl of Southesk KT (16 November 1827 – 21 February 1905) was a Scottish nobleman, explorer and poet.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Edinburgh, on 16 November 1827, Southesk was the son of Sir James Carnegie, 5th Baronet and Charlotte Lysons, daughter of the Rev'd Daniel Lysons. He attended the Edinburgh Academy, received his military training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and in 1845 joined the 92nd Regiment of Foot, before transferring to the Grenadier Guards the next year, with whom he served for three years. In 1849 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Kincardineshire, a position he continued to hold until 1856, when he sold his lands in Kincardineshire.

paragraph: Through his great-great-great grandfather, who was the fourth son of David Carnegie, 1st Earl of Southesk, James was the heir to the earldom of Southesk and the lordship of Carnegie. The fifth earl was involved in the Jacobite rising of 1715 and was attainted, with his titles and estates forfeited. However, in 1855 Sir James Carnegie obtained a reversal of his kinsman's attainder by Act of Parliament and became the ninth Earl of Southesk. He held the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Kincardineshire between 1849 and 1856. He succeeded as the "6th Baronet Carnegie, of Pittarrow, co. Kincardine" on 30 January 1849. He succeeded as the "9th Lord Carnegie of Kinnaird" on 2 July 1855, after the original precedence by reversal by Act of Parliament of the Act of Attainder. He succeeded as the "9th Lord Carnegie of Kinnaird and Leuchars" on 2 July 1855, after the original precedence by reversal by Act of Parliament of the Act of Attainder. He succeeded as the "9th Earl of Southesk" on 2 July 1855, after the original precedence by reversal by Act of Parliament of the Act of Attainder. He was created "1st Baron Balinhard, of Farnell, Forfar" on 7 December 1869. He held the office of Deputy Lieutenant of Forfarshire.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: In 1849 Southesk married Lady Catherine Hamilton Noel (1829–1855), daughter of Charles, Earl of Gainsborough on 19 June 1849 at Exton Park, Rutland, England. They had one son and three daughters, before Catherine's death in 1855 at the age of twenty-six. In 1860 Southesk married Lady Susan Catherine Mary Murray (1837–1915), eldest daughter of Alexander, Earl of Dunmore. They had three sons and four daughters. Lord Southesk died in February 1905, aged seventy-seven. He was succeeded by his son from his first marriage, Charles Noel Carnegie.

paragraph: List of Children: David Wynford Carnegie; Lady Dora Susan de Rodakowski-Rivers; Katherine Agnes Blanche Carnegie; Sir Lancelot Douglas Carnegie, GCVO, KCMG; Constance Mary, Countess of Elgin; Charles Noel Carnegie, 10th Earl of Southesk; Lady Arabella Charlotte Romilly and Lady Beatrice Diana Cecilia Diana Cecillia Stewart.

paragraph: Section::::1859 Canadian Expedition.

paragraph: In 1859, following the death of his wife, the Earl was advised that to improve his health he should travel to a part of the world where he could live an open-air life and hunt. In 1859, at the age of 32, he embarked on a trip to western Canada.

paragraph: Southesk left Liverpool on April 15, 1859 on a Cunard paddle-wheeler called the “Africa” for North America. Eventually, he ended up in St. Paul, Minnesota, the jumping off point for his expedition and then continued on north to Fort Garry, the Hudson's Bay Company's western headquarters in the Red River Colony. In June, Southesk, headed out west and over the next seven months, the expedition travelled more than 4,000 kilometres across the northern prairies to the Rocky Mountains. The plan was to head west out of Fort Garry into Rupert's Land, to hunt bears and bison. He arrived at Fort Edmonton on August 11, with an entourage of 75, the complete works of William Shakespeare, and a rubber bathtub. At the fort he paused to buy horses, hired a Metis guide called Antoine Blandoine and built enough pack saddles to haul his outfit into the mountains west of Cadomin to pursue big horn sheep. The journey, in early September, took the expedition up the Athabasca River to the McLeod River and finally, the Medicine Tent River, noting that he was now in country that, ""no European had ever seen, where bears and wild sheep were certain to be abundant"." The expedition then crossed over Southesk Pass, to the Kootenay Plain s of the Saskatchewan River valley, in present-day Alberta. The expedition followed the Siffleur River, crossed over the Pipestone Pass, and followed the Pipestone River to the Bow River. After camping near Cascade Mountain, the Earl nearly crossed paths with another explorer, James Hector at a time when there were very few Europeans in the Canadian Rockies.

paragraph: On the expedition, the Earl of Southesk climbed a mountain, located 6 km north of Mount Southesk and erected a cairn on top that can still be seen today. He wrote in his journal, "I am the first European who has visited this valley, and if I might have the geographic honour of giving my name to some spot of earth, I should choose the mountain near which the two rivers rise."

paragraph: For the expedition he employed a number of Métis guides and scouts; James McKay, John McKay, George Klyne, John "Piscan" Munroe, Baptiste La Grace, James "Little Dog" Short, Antoine Blandion, Pierre Desnomme, Thomas Arinwakena, and Duncan Robertson. These men were experienced buffalo hunters. During this trip which took him west to Fort Edmonton and into the Rocky Mountains he commissioned and collected several Métis, Cree, Nakoda, Blood and Blackfoot artifacts. The Earl kept a journal recording his travels, containing information on where and when he acquired the artifacts and, in some cases, from whom. Fort Edmonton Park has used some of these objects as inspiration for their own designs.

paragraph: While on his trip, the Earl received considerable support from the Hudson's Bay Company. HBC Governor Sir George Simpson helped the Earl arrange for guides, supplies and horses. He gave the Earl a map and instructed HBC employees to show him “every attention.” HBC assistance continued after the trip was over. Simpson arranged the shipment of several beavers to Scotland so that the Earl could introduce the animals to his estate. After his return to England in 1860, and with his health improved, the Earl remarried and had eight children by his second wife.

paragraph: In 1875 he wrote, "Saskatchewan and the Rocky Mountains" which described his travels.

paragraph: An exhibit dedicated to the Earl's Canadian prairie trip, including a life-sized statue of a large plains grizzly bear he killed while on a bison hunt on the nearby prairie, can be found at Ancient Echoes Interpretive Centre in Herschel, Saskatchewan.

paragraph: Section::::The Southesk Collection at the Royal Alberta Museum.

paragraph: Throughout the 1859 Canadian expedition, Southesk collected objects made by First Nations and Métis people whom he met in the course of his travels. The artifacts returned home with Southesk to Kinnaird Castle, the family estate in Scotland where they remained for the next 146 years, until 2006, when the earl's descendants put them up for auction at Sotheby's in New York.

paragraph: The Royal Alberta Museum purchased many of the items put up for sale. for $1.1 million. Although relatively small, the Southesk collection is historically significant given that objects from the northern Plains dating to the 1850s are rare and that many of the artifacts are of exceptional quality. Although modest in size, the collection includes work from at least five distinct cultures — Plains Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakoda and Anishnaabe. The current Earl of Southesk subsequently donated five additional items linked with the collection.

paragraph: Section::::Publications.

paragraph: Southesk was the author of several books of poetry, including "Jonas Fisher" in which a young missionary describes his adventures among the London poor in simple direct verse. It was published anonymously, and misattributed by one critic to another Scottish author of the time, Robert Buchanan. Buchanan successfully sued for libel.
