paragraph: Seuthes III

paragraph: Seuthes III () was ruler of the Odrysian kingdom of Thrace from c. 331 BC to c. 300 BC.

paragraph: Section::::Historical background.

paragraph: After the campaigns of Philip II in 347–342 a significant part of Thrace was dependent to Macedon. After Philip's death in 336 BC, many of the Thracian tribes revolted against Philip's son Alexander the Great, who waged a campaign against and defeated the Getae and King Syrmus of the Triballi. All other Thracians sent troops to join Alexander's army.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Seuthes revolted against Macedon in about 325 BC, after Alexander's governor Zopyrion was killed in battle against the Getae. After Alexander died in 323 BC he again took up arms in opposition to the new governor Lysimachus. They fought each other to a draw and each withdrew from battle. Ultimately Seuthes was compelled to acknowledge the authority of Lysimachus, by then one of Alexander's successor kings. In 320 BC, Seuthes III moved the Odrysian kingdom to central Thrace and built his capital city at Seuthopolis (Kazanlak, present day Bulgaria). In 313 BC he supported Antigonus I in the latter's war against Lysimachus, occupying the passes of Mount Haemus against his overlord but was again defeated and forced to submit.

paragraph: Section::::Tomb of Seuthes III.

paragraph: The Tomb of the Thracian King Seuthes III is situated in Bulgaria in the Golyamata Kosmatka mound, at a distance of 1 km south from the town of Shipka north from the town of Kazanlak (Bulgaria). It was discovered in 2004 by the Bulgarian archaeologist Georgi Kitov. The Tomb was built in the second half of the fifth century BC. Items found inside included the golden crown of the ruler, a golden kylix (shallow wine cup), knee pads and a helmet, and applications for horse tackle, all exhibited in the historical museum of the town of Kazanlak. Remarkable is the bronze head of the statue of Sevt III buried ritually in front of the façade, which is quite detailed. It is an important evidence of the Thracian Orphic rituals.

paragraph: The tomb temple consists of a corridor, an anteroom, a round chamber with high tholos cover, and a rectangular chamber, constructed as a sarcophagus from two monolith blocks, one weighing more than 60 tons. The three halls are built of rectangular stone blocks and are covered with slabs. A two-winged marble door closes the entrance to the round chamber. The upper plains of the wings are decorated with images of the god Dionysus, who in the east part embodies the sun and in the west the earth and night.

paragraph: The ritual couch and the ritual chamber are placed in the rectangular chamber. They were covered with fabric made of a golden thread, after that a splendid funeral of the ruler was performed. Above the phial, the jug, and the helmet was inscribed the name of Seuthes, which proves that in the beginning of third century BC here was buried Seuthes III, the famous Thracian ruler of the Odrysian kingdom.

paragraph: The capital of his kingdom, called Seuthopolis, is situated at about ten kilometres south-west from the tomb, on the bottom of Koprinka dam. The head of the statue of Seuthes is buried in the tomb, and it was placed on a pedestal in the capital Seuthopolis.

paragraph: The personal belongings and the gifts, needed for the afterlife of the ruler are carefully placed in the chamber. After the burial the entrance of the round chamber and the anteroom were blocked, the horse of the ruler was sacrificed, and the corridor was ritually set on fire.

paragraph: The tomb is a part of the Valley of the Thracian Kings, which also includes the Kazanlak tomb (recognised as part of the UNESCO world heritage), as well as the tombs and the temples found in the mounds Goliama Arsenalka, Shushmanets, Helvetsia, Grifoni, Svetitsa, and Ostrusha.

paragraph: Köten

paragraph: Köten (, , , later Jonas; 1223–41) was a Cuman–Kipchak chieftain ("khan") and military commander active in the mid-13th century. He forged the important alliance with the Kievan Rus against the Mongols but was ultimately defeated by them at the Kalka River. After the Mongol victory in 1238, Köten led 40,000 "huts" to Hungary, where he became an ally of the Hungarian king and accepted Catholicism, but was nonetheless assassinated by the Hungarian nobility.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: Köten, known as "Kötöny" in Hungarian and "Kotjan" (or "Kotyan") in Russian, had his name spelt variously as "Kutan" (in Arabic), "Kuthen", "Kuthens", "Koteny" and "Kuethan". In the Russian annals, his name is rendered (Kotyan Sutoevich, Kotjan Sutoevič). In a charter of Béla IV, a Cuman chieftain "Zayhan" or "Seyhan" is mentioned, assumed to have been Köten.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: An Arabic source calls his people Kipchaks; "Kutan" is mentioned as belonging to the "Durut" tribe of the Kipchaks. According to Pritsak, "Durut" was the Terter tribe of the Cumans. According to Timothy May, Köten was one of the khans of the Kipchaks. István Vásáry identified him as Cuman. In either case, the two peoples were part of the Cuman–Kipchak confederation, known as Cumania in Latin, "Desht-i Qipchaq" in Islamic sources (from Turkic), and Polovtsy in East Slavic.

paragraph: Köten forged an alliance with the Kievan Rus against the Mongols (also called Tatars) after a defeat in 1222. The Cuman–Kipchak confederation under Köten and a Rus army of 80,000 men under his father-in-law Mstislav the Bold fought a battle at the Kalka River (Kalchik, near Mariupol) against a Mongol contingent commanded by Jebe and Sübötäi. The Rus-Cuman army was routed and had to retreat on 31 May 1223. Köten was deposed from power in that year, but he remained leader of the Terteroba clan.

paragraph: In the early spring of 1237, the Mongols attacked the Cuman-Kipchaks. Some of the Cuman-Kipchaks surrendered; it was this element that was later to form the ethnic and geographic basis of the Mongol khanate known to the former lords of the country as the "Kipchak khanate". Known also as the Golden Horde, the Kipchak khanate belonged to one of the branches of Jochi's house -Genghis Khan's eldest son. The Kipchak leader Bačman was captured in 1236–37 on the Volga banks by Möngke, and then executed.

paragraph: According to Rashid-al-Din Hamadani, Berke led a third campaign in 1238 which inflicted final defeat on the Cumans-Kipchaks. Ukrainian sources claim that it was Batu Khan that defeated Köten on the Astrakhan steppes. Afterwards, Köten led 40,000 "huts" (families, around 70-80,000 people) to Hungary fleeing the Mongols.

paragraph: In Hungary, Köten allied himself with Bela IV of Hungary, who gave the Cuman–Kipchak refugees asylum. Köten converted to Roman Catholicism, being baptised in 1239 as Jonas, while his daughter Elizabeth married Bela's son, the future Stephen V. The Hungarian nobles, however, distrusted the Cuman-Kipchaks (possibly believing they were Mongol spies) and just prior to the disastrous Mongol invasion which led to the rout of Mohi, they had Köten assassinated in Pest. The Cumans then left Hungary, pillaging along the way and emigrated to the Second Bulgarian Empire. Some of the Cumans were later called back to Hungary.

paragraph: Section::::Terter dynasty.

paragraph: The enraged Cuman-Kipchak masses began to plunder the countryside, and moved southwards in the country. They crossed the Danube and reached Syrmia (called "Marchia" by Rogerius). After causing much destruction and havoc in Hungary, they left the country for Bulgaria. There is a hypothesis that the Terter dynasty, which eventually ruled Bulgaria, descended from Köten's clan.

paragraph: Ubaldo of Gallura

paragraph: Ubaldo II Visconti, son of Lamberto di Eldizio and Elena de Lacon, was the Judge of Gallura from 1225 to his death in 1238. He ruled every "giudicato" on the island of Sardinia at one point or another save Arborea.

paragraph: By a pact signed November 1218 with Marianus II of Torres, his father secured his marriage to Adelasia, Marianus' eldest child. The marriage was celebrated in 1219. Pope Honorius III, enemy of the Pisans, immediately sent his chaplain Bartolomeo to annul the marriage, but he failed and the pact between Pisa and Logudoro stood.

paragraph: Ubaldo inherited the Giudicato of Gallura in 1225. In 1230, when his uncle, Ubaldo I Visconti, died, he invaded the "giudicato" of Cagliari to assure the continued influence of his Pisan family there. He subsequently exercised the regency for Benedetta until 1232.

paragraph: Marianus died in 1232 and, by his will, was succeeded by his son Barisone III. Upon Barisone's death (1236) without heirs, also as stipulated by Marianus' will, the Logudorese magnates elected one of his daughters, Adelasia or Benedetta, to inherit. They unanimously acclaimed Adelasia, whose husband could well uphold her right. So they in turn elected him judge as well. In 1237, Pope Gregory IX sent his chaplain Alexander to Torres to receive recognition from Adelasia of papal suzerainty. At the palace of Ardara, in the presence of the Camaldolese abbot and monks of S. Trinità di Saccargia, she made the oath of vassalage and Ubaldo affirmed it, giving over the castle of Monte Acuto to the bishop of Ampurias as a guarantee of his good faith. Ubaldo did not, however, recognise any authority over Gallura other than the ancient authority of the Pisan archdiocese.

paragraph: Ubaldo drew up a will in January 1237 at Silki. His nephew John was nominated to succeed him, but his widow's second husband, Enzo, took control of both Gallura and Logudoro and was granted the title King of Sardinia by his father, the Emperor Frederick II.

paragraph: Ilarie Voronca

paragraph: Ilarie Voronca (pen name of Eduard Marcus; 31 December 1903, Brăila—8 April 1946, Paris) was a Romanian-French avant-garde poet and essayist.

paragraph: Voronca was of Jewish ethnicity. In his early years, he was connected with Eugen Lovinescu's "Sburătorul" group, making his debut in 1922 in the "Sburătorul literar" (symbolist pieces inspired by the works of George Bacovia and Camil Baltazar). Voronca's poems of the period, gloomy and passive in tone, are in marked contrast to his later works.

paragraph: Only a year later, Voronca adopted a change in style, adhering to the modernist manifesto published in "Contimporanul" and contributing to literary magazines such as "Punct" and "Integral". He and Stephan Roll issued a Constructivism-inspired magazine entitled "75 HP", of which only one number was ever printed.

paragraph: In 1925, he collaborated with Victor Brauner on "picto-poèsie" for a portrait of himself.

paragraph: It is a cubist portrait of the Romanian poet Ilarie Voronca

paragraph: In 1927, Voronca published a volume of poetry in Paris. Entitled "Colomba" after his wife Colomba Voronca, it featured two portraits drawn by Robert Delaunay. "Colomba" marked Voronca's new change in style: he had become a surrealist. Soon after that, his creations gained a regularity, and he was published frequently — especially after he settled in France (1933) and began writing in the French language. There followed: "L'Apprenti fantôme" ("The Apprentice Ghost"; 1938), "Beauté de ce monde" ("This World's Beauty"; 1940), "Arbre" ("Tree"; 1942). Several of his works were illustrated with drawings by Constantin Brâncuși, Marc Chagall, or Victor Brauner.

paragraph: A French citizen in 1938, Voronca took part in the French Resistance. He visited Romania in January 1946, and was acclaimed for his writings and Anti-fascist activities. He never finished his "Manuel du parfait bonheur" ("Manual for Perfect Happiness"), committing suicide later in the same year.

paragraph: An edition of selected poems was published in France in 1956; it was followed ten years later by prints of never-published works. Sașa Pană oversaw a Romanian edition of many of Voronca's poems in 1972.

paragraph: Lee Brennan

paragraph: Lee Anthony Brennan (born 27 September 1973) is an English singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. He is the lead vocalist of boy band 911.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lee Brennan was born on 27 September 1973 in Carlisle, Cumbria to Una and Francis Brennan. Lee, his two brothers Kevin & Marc & older sister Julie were brought up by Una & Step-Dad Stephen Mcalindon in Harraby & Currock, Carlisle. Lee also has a younger sister Rebecca from his Dad's second marriage. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma twice, first aged nine and then again aged 15, of which treatment left him infertile.

paragraph: Lee had previously wanted to play for his local football team Carlisle United. However, despite trials and visits from club scouts, he was turned down because, at just 5 ft 4in (163 cm), he was considered too small. However, he captained the county football team at under-14 and under-16 levels.

paragraph: On 14 September 2006, Brennan married Lindsay Armaou of Irish girl group B*Witched. They split in 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Music.

paragraph: 911 were formed in 1995 when Jimmy Constable and Spike Dawbarn met on the ITV late-night dance show "The Hit Man and Her" and soon decided to form a band. After meeting Brennan, they became a trio and were soon signed to Virgin Records. They then released their debut single "Night to Remember", a cover of the classic Shalamar tune, in 1996. 911 had huge success during their time in the charts, releasing a total of 14 singles and four albums, including a "Greatest Hits" album. The band announced their split in 2000.

They were successful in gaining a place in the final, where they performed their signature song "Bodyshakin'" and S Club 7's hit "Don't Stop Movin'". Although 911 did not win the competition, the show resulted in a renewed interest in the band. Brennan regularly reunited with the other members of 911 to perform in gigs up and down the UK.

paragraph: Konishi Hirosada

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Although Hirosada has been acknowledged as "the most important and prolific mid-nineteenth century Osaka designer," little is known about his personal life. Those biographies which refer to his life dates identify his birth year as unknown and the year of his death as 1864 or 1865. Art historians link his activity to between 1810 and 1865. He is believed to have apprenticed with prominent Osaka artist , and to have studied alongside Kunimasu in Edo in the early 1830s under .

paragraph: Following the relaxation of the Tempō Reforms in 1847, Hirosada became a major designer of medium-sized "chūban" prints, the format championed by his mentor Kunimasu. He was highly prolific, working mainly in the "kabuki-e" and "yakusha-e" genres. He is particularly known for his many "ōkubi-e" (lit. "large head") portraits of the leading actors on the Osaka kabuki stage, which he began to produce in 1841. As a testament to his productivity, Gerstle notes, "In the period up to 1852 Hirosada designed approximately 800 single-sheet prints, making him the most prolific of the Osaka print artists by far and unquestionably a 'professional'."

paragraph: Hirosada produced designs for a number of Osaka-based publishing houses including Kitakagawa, Kyoisa, Isakichi, Kawato, Tenki and Meikōdō. Among his students were the artists , and . The latter succeeded Hirosada as both Sadahiro II and Hirosada II.

paragraph: Section::::Names.

paragraph: In keeping with the custom for Edo period artists, Hirosada used a number of different "gō" art names throughout his career, including , and . Born Kyōmaruya Seijirō, he apparently began his artistic career as , switching to Hirosada in mid-1847. He is associated with various artist seals including Gochō, Sada, Kō, Chō, Sadahiro and Gosōtei. Some scholars have linked Hirosada's name changes with an intent to evade censorship; however, it was not uncommon for artists of the period to adapt or adopt new names on a whim.

paragraph: In addition to these recognized names, some scholars have suggested that Hirosada and his contemporary Osaka artist (fl. 1830-1847) were one and the same. According to Keyes, "there is a strong, though unproven case for believing that Gosōtei Hirosada... was the well-known artist Sadahiro I." Evidence for this, Keyes argues, can be found in stylistic similarities between the two artists' work, the similarity of the artists' names (the same two characters reversed—廣 ["hiro"] + 貞 ["sada"] vs 貞 ["sada"] + 廣 ["hiro"]) and signatures, the two artists' use of the same 'Gosōtei' "gō", and the appearance of the 'Sadahiro' seal on some prints signed by Hirosada.

paragraph: Section::::Reputation & style.

paragraph: Art historians are quick to acknowledge Hirosada's stature and influence: he was "the most important—and prolific—Osaka print designer of the post-Tenpô period," "the central figure of mid-nineteenth century Osaka printmaking," and "one of the finest portraitists of the nineteenth century." In the 1840s and 1850s he produced over eight-hundred single-sheet prints, "outnumbering by far" the output of any of his contemporaries. His prints are "among the finest and most individual of the whole ukiyo-e genre," and "among some of the finest character portraits produced anywhere in the world."

paragraph: In terms of format, the majority of his works from 1847 and later are medium-sized "chūban" rather than the previously dominant larger "ōban" size. He produced "kabuki-e" almost exclusively, and was particularly celebrated for his polytychs—mainly diptychs and triptychs—and "ōkubi-e" actor portraits. Stylistically his polytychs are noted for "imaginative placements, unusual cropping of figures and descriptive physiognomies," and the "subtle but inventive interplay among the figures."

paragraph: Hirosada has been credited with an "instantly recognisable," "insightful," "exceptionally expressive and dramatic" style. Critics have praised the "clarity and self-assurance" of his drawing, and his simple, sophisticated style which avoids "flashy" enhancements. As Keyes notes, "Hirosada’s prints are an exploration of the depth and meaning of human relationships. They are intimate and direct. Other Japanese artists had portrayed the timeless, fragile and unchanging aspects of human life. Hirosada celebrated the separate, unrepeatable, unique, human event."

paragraph: Deandra Dottin

paragraph: Deandra Jalisa Shakira Dottin (born 21 June 1991) is an international cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast bowler, Dottin made her debut for the West Indies women's cricket team in June 2008. She plays as a hard-hitting lower-order batswoman, and scored the first century in a women's Twenty20 International in 2010. In August 2016 it was announced she had signed to play for the Brisbane Heat in the Women's Big Bash League. She played in her 100th Women's One Day International (WODI) match, when the West Indies played India in the group stage of the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, on 29 June 2017.

paragraph: In June 2018, she was named the Women's T20 International Cricketer of the Year at the annual Cricket West Indies' Awards. In September 2018, she became the third woman to play in 100 Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches, during the series against South Africa. In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded her a women's contract for the 2018–19 season.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:International debut.

paragraph: Born in Barbados, Dottin made her international cricket debut in 2008, when she was selected as part of the West Indies squad to tour Europe. Playing in the opening WODI of the tour, Dottin bowled two overs without taking a wicket, allowing eleven runs to be scored. In the West Indies reply, she top-scored with an unbeaten 33 as her team chased the total down in under 20 overs. She scored her first half-century in international cricket in her fourth ODI, making 66 having opened the batting against Netherlands. She completed the tour of Europe with 149 ODI runs at a batting average of 29.80, second among the West Indians in both areas, trailing Stafanie Taylor. She continued to open the innings during the tour of Sri Lanka, averaging 18.20, but struggled from the same position in the first two matches of the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup, and after failing to make double figures in either match, was dropped down the batting order to number five. The move immediately paid off as she scored 51 in the next match, against hosts Australia and then 23 against both Pakistan and England in the following matches, though she finished the tournament with low-scores against India and Pakistan.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2010 World Twenty20.

paragraph: In the opening match of the 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20, Dottin scored the first women's Twenty20 International century, scoring 112 not out against South Africa at Warner Park, St. Kitts. Coming into bat at number six in the tenth over, Dottin made her first 50 runs in 25 balls, and then moved from 50 to 100 in a further 13 balls. In total, she hit seven 4s and nine 6s in the innings, propelling the West Indies to a match-winning total. In addition to being the first century in women's Twenty20 Internationals, her 38-ball century is the fastest by any female batsman in a Twenty20 International. The fastest century scored for a male batsman is by Chris Gayle, who scored his century in just 30 deliveries in IPL 2013 against Pune Warriors India.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2018 World Twenty20.

paragraph: In October 2018, she was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies. In the West Indies' opening match of the tournament, against Bangladesh, Dottin took five wickets for five runs to take her first five-wicket haul in WT20Is. The West Indies went on to win the game by 60 runs, with Dottin named as the player of the match. She was the leading run-scorer and wicket-taker for the West Indies in the tournament, with 121 runs and ten wickets in five matches. Following the conclusion of the tournament, she was named as the standout player in the team by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Growing up, she was also active and successful in track and field, winning medals for Barbados at international meetings. Starting at the age of 14 years, she competed on the youth level (U-17) of the CARIFTA Games winning one silver in 2005, one gold and one silver in 2006, and three gold medals in 2007.

paragraph: Saint Materiana

paragraph: Saint Materiana is a Welsh saint, patron of two churches in Cornwall and one in Wales. Alternative spellings are Madrun and Madryn. The name was corrupted to "Marcelliana" in medieval times. Another spelling of her name sometimes used is "Mertheriana" or "Merthiana", resembling the Welsh "merthyr" - "martyr".

paragraph: Section::::Origin.

paragraph: Materiana is said to have been a princess of the 5th century, the eldest of three daughters of King Vortimer the Blessed, who, after her father's death, ruled over Gwent with her husband Prince Ynyr. She is said to be the "Madryn" in whose name (along with her handmaiden Anhun (Antonia)) the church at Trawsfynydd is dedicated, and Carn Fadryn/Fadrun is named. Matrona was a widespread Roman name, and there is no evidence of any purported connection with a pre-Christian goddess named Modron.

paragraph: The "Hymn to St Materiana" in use at Tintagel calls her "Materiana, holy Mother" and prays her to "Over thy people still preside, over thy household, clothed in scarlet vesture of love and holy pride" and continues "Thy children rise and call thee blessed, gathered around thee at thy side." The 'Hymn to St Materiana' is not an ancient hymn, and of Anglican use.

paragraph: Section::::Minster church.

paragraph: The mother church of Boscastle is Minster, dedicated to St Materiana, located in the valley of the River Valency half-a-mile east of Boscastle at . The original Forrabury / Minster boundary crossed the river so the harbour end of the village was in Forrabury and the upriver area in Minster. The churches were established some time earlier than the settlement at Boscastle (in Norman times when a castle was built there). The Celtic name of Minster was Talkarn but it was renamed Minster in Anglo-Saxon times because of a monastery on the site. Until the Reformation St Materiana's tomb was preserved in the church. Traditions of the saint were recorded by William Worcestre in 1478: he states that her tomb was venerated at Minster and that her feast day was 9 April. However the parish feast traditionally celebrated at Tintagel was 19 October, the feast day of St Denys, patron of the chapel at Trevena (the proper date is 9 October but the feast has moved forward due to the calendar reform of 1752).

paragraph: Section::::Tintagel and Trawsfynydd churches.

paragraph: The first church at Tintagel was probably in the 6th century, founded as a daughter church of Minster: these are the only churches dedicated to the saint though she is usually identified with Madryn, Princess of Gwent, who has a church dedicated to her at Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd. At Tintagel Parish Church there are two memorials which portray St Materiana: a statue in the chancel and a stained glass window in the nave.

paragraph: Stafanie Taylor

paragraph: Stafanie Roxann Taylor, OD (born 11 June 1991) is a Jamaican cricketer who is current captain of West Indies women's cricket team. She has represented West Indies women's cricket team over 80 times since her debut in 2008. A right-handed batsman and off break bowler, Taylor was selected as the 2011 ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year – the first West Indian to receive the accolade. Born in Jamaica, Taylor broke into the West Indies team in 2008, aged 17, and immediately inserted herself as a key member of the team. She scored her highest Twenty20 total on debut, striking 90 runs from 49 balls to help her side to a large victory. In the 2016 World Twenty20, she was the highest run-scorer and named player of the series. She played in her 100th Women's One Day International (WODI) match, when the West Indies played India in the group stage of the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, on 29 June 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Taylor was born on 11 June 1991 in Spanish Town, Jamaica. She first appeared for the West Indies during their 2008 tour of Europe, during which she granted her side their maiden Twenty20 victory on her debut. Batting first against Ireland, Taylor opened the innings for the West Indies, and scored 90 runs from 49 balls. Her total is the second highest score by a West Indian in a Twenty20 International. She subsequently scored her first half-century in One Day International cricket in her next match. In a much more patient innings than she demonstrated in the Twenty20, she scored 66 runs from 97 balls to help her side overcome Ireland. She scored another half-century in her next appearance, scoring 70 runs against the Netherlands. During the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup, she was the West Indies best performer, leading the team in both runs scored and wickets taken. She repeated the feat at the 2009 ICC Women's World Twenty20, in which she scored half-centuries in her side's opening two matches to become the only woman to score fifties in three consecutive Twenty20 Internationals, a feat she repeated in 2010 in a three match series against Sri Lanka.

paragraph: She scored her maiden century in One Day Internationals in October 2009, remaining 108 not out against South Africa. She was the standout performer in the following season's 2010 ICC Women's Cricket Challenge, scoring 390 runs in five matches at an average of 97.50. The West Indies lost to only South Africa in the competition, and finished as runners-up. She scored her second century, and highest score to date, during the tournament, making 147 against the Netherlands. Her performances between August 2010 and August 2011 resulted in her being named the 2011 ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year.

paragraph: In July 2017, she was named Women's Cricketer of the Year by the West Indies Players' Association. In December 2017, she was named as one of the players in the ICC Women's T20I Team of the Year.

paragraph: In June 2018, she was named the Women's Cricketer of the Year and the Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year at the annual Cricket West Indies' Awards. In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded her a women's contract for the 2018–19 season. Later the same month, she was named as captain of the West Indies' squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies. Ahead of the tournament, she was named as the star of the team and one of the players to watch.

paragraph: In November 2018, she was named in Sydney Thunder's squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.

paragraph: Section::::Other records.

paragraph: She was the first female cricketer to score a century and to take four wickets in an innings of a WODI.

paragraph: Thomas Pitt, 1st Baron Camelford

paragraph: Thomas Pitt, 1st Baron Camelford (3 March 1737 – 19 January 1793) was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1761 until 1784 when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Camelford. He was an art connoisseur.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Pitt was born and baptised at Boconnoc in Cornwall on 3 March 1737, the son of Thomas Pitt of Boconnoc (died 1761), elder brother of William Pitt the Elder. His mother was Christian, eldest daughter of Thomas Lyttelton, 4th Baronet, of Hagley. He was admitted fellow-commoner at Clare College, Cambridge, on 7 January 1754, and resided there until 1758. In 1759 Pitt obtained the degree of Master of Arts (MA) "per literas regias".

paragraph: Thomas Pitt accompanied Thomas Hay, 9th Earl of Kinnoull, British ambassador to the court of Portugal, on his journey to Lisbon in January 1760. Thomas Gray and his friends contrived that John Bowes, 9th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, a college companion, should go with him; and Philip Francis, a lifelong friend, also joined the expedition. They entered the Tagus on 7 March 1760, and left Lisbon on 21 May 1760. Passing through Spain to Barcelona, they crossed to Genoa, and passed some time in Italy. Pitt corresponded with Gray, and wrote a manuscript journal of his travels; Cole notes that the description of the bullfight in the manuscript is identical with that in Edward Clarke's "Letters on the Spanish Nation". Horace Walpole introduced Pitt to Sir Horace Mann at Florence, and praised his conduct in cutting off the entail to pay his father's debts and to provide for his sisters. Pitt was staying at Florence with his uncle, Richard Lyttelton, when news arrived of the death of his father, on 17 July 1761.

paragraph: Section::::In politics.

paragraph: Thomas Pitt now became owner of the controlling interest in the rotten borough of Old Sarum and a considerable share in that of Okehampton in Devon. At intervals, Pitt now played an active part in politics. He was a Member of Parliament of the House of Commons for Old Sarum from December 1761 until 1768, for Okehampton from 1768 until 1774, and again for Old Sarum from 1774 until he was raised to the peerage in 1784. He followed in politics his near relative, George Grenville, who made him a lord of the admiralty in his ministry of 1763. He was invited, in compliment to his uncle, Chatham, to continue in office with the Rockingham ministry; but he was politically at variance with Chatham, and followed Grenville into opposition.

paragraph: Pitt was one of the seventy-two whig members who met at the Thatched House Tavern, London, on 9 May 1769, to celebrate the rights of electors in the struggle for the representation of Middlesex; he seconded Sir William Meredith in his attempt to relax the subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, and he spoke against the Royal Marriage Bill. Through his influence, supported by Lady Chatham, the reconciliation of his uncle and Richard Grenville-Temple, 2nd Earl Temple was effected in 1774. Horace Walpole, who quarrelled with him on political topics, calls him a ‘flimsy’ speaker, but Wraxall remarked that, although he rarely spoke, his family position guaranteed him an audience. He made a speech in 1780 on John Dunning's motion to limit the influence of the Crown. He was one of the strongest opponents of Lord North's ministry, and a warm antagonist of the coalition. In November 1781, he protested against voting supplies until grievances were redressed. In February 1783, he moved the address for the Shelburne ministry, protesting that he had always been opposed to the use of force against the American colonies, and he attacked Charles James Fox's East India Bill.

paragraph: He spoke carefully in 1782 against parliamentary reform. Next year, when the same question was brought forward, he was ridiculed for a change of opinion, and his offer to sacrifice his rotten borough for the public good. He was satirised by the authors of the "Rolliad" (1795), and was chaffed in the House of Commons by Fox (13 March 1784) and Edmund Burke (28 February 1785). In March 1783, when the king was endeavouring to form an administration in opposition to North and Fox, the leadership of the House of Commons and the seals of a secretary of state were offered to him, despite opposition from Lord Ashburton. On 5 January 1784 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Camelford of Boconnoc, a promotion attributed to the influence of his cousin William Pitt the Younger.

paragraph: Section::::Dilettante.

paragraph: From March 1762, Pitt lived at Twickenham, playfully calling his house the ‘Palazzo Pitti', a punning reference to the Pitti Palace in Florence. He was then the neighbour of Horace Walpole, who recognised his skill in Gothic architecture, and went so far as to call him ‘my present architect.’ On the death in 1779 of William Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Harrington, he bought the lease of Petersham Lodge (beneath Richmond Park, but now demolished and the grounds included in the park boundaries), and he purchased the fee-simple in 1784 from the crown, an act of parliament being passed for that purpose. In 1790 it was sold by him to the Duke of Clarence.

paragraph: Thomas Pitt also built Camelford House, fronting Oxford Street, at the top of Park Lane, London; and as a member of the Dilettanti Society, to which he had been elected on 1 May 1763, he proposed in February 1785 that the shells of two adjoining houses constructed by him in Hereford Street should be completed by the society for a public museum, but financial considerations put a stop to the project. Although an amateur, Pitt was involved in architecture at the highest level, particularly at Stowe House in Buckinghamshire during the period 1770–1779. Earl Temple having first obtained a design from Jacques-François Blondel for the new south front of the house, which did not meet with the Earl's approval, in 1771 Robert Adam produced a new design for the south front; this design was adapted and made more uniform by Thomas Pitt assisted by Giovanni Battista Borra and was finished in 1779. The interiors of the new state apartments were not completed until 1788, much of the interior work being by an Italian, Vincenzo Valdrè (1740–1814).

paragraph: Pitt interested himself in the porcelain manufactory of Plymouth porcelain, where they used the white saponaceous china stone found on his land in Cornwall. Angelica Kauffman wrote to him on the free importation into England by artists of their own studies and designs. Pitt was a friend of Mary Delany, to whom he gave for her lifetime portraits of Sir Bevil Grenville, his wife, and his father, and he proposed to John Maurice, Count of Brühl that they should jointly assist Thomas Mudge in his plans for the improvement of nautical chronometers. The wainscoting of the stalls in Carlisle Cathedral, where his uncle Charles Lyttelton was bishop, was designed by him.

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: From 1789 to 1792 he was in Italy, and, although he landed at Deal in June 1792, he left for continental Europe again in September. Peter Beckford says in his ‘Familiar Letters’ (1805 edit. i. 159), that Lord Camelford ‘left Florence for Pisa with the gout upon him, and died immediately on his arrival;’ but it is generally said that he died at Florence on 19 January 1793. He was buried on 2 March at Boconnoc, where he had added to the old mansion, from his own designs, a second wing and gallery. In 1771, he had erected, on the hill above the house, an obelisk, 123 feet high, to the memory of his uncle, Sir Richard Lyttelton.

paragraph: Section::::Attributed works.

paragraph: Some tracts have been attributed to Camelford. Sir John Sinclair credits him with a reply to his own ‘Lucubrations during a Short Recess,’ 1782 . A few days after his elevation to the peerage a pamphlet, in which ‘the constitutional right of the House of Commons to advise the sovereign’ was upheld, was attributed to Camelford, and referred to in parliament by Burke, who also ridiculed him as the alleged author of a tract relating to parliamentary reform. In the autumn of 1789 Camelford found it necessary to deny that he had published a treatise on French affairs. He is included in Park's edition of Walpole's ‘Royal and Noble Authors,’ iv. 348–50, as ‘the reputed author of a tract concerning the American war.’

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In July 1771, Pitt married Anne Wilkinson, the younger daughter and coheiress of Pinckney Wilkinson, a rich merchant of Hanover Square, London, and Burnham Westgate, Norfolk. She died at Camelford House, Oxford Street, London, on 5 May 1803, aged 65, pining from grief at the career of her son, and was buried in the vault in Boconnoc churchyard on 19 May. Anne's sister Mary made an unhappy marriage, in 1760, with Captain John Smith, by whom she was mother of Admiral Sir Sidney Smith – Thomas Pitt treated his sister-in-law and her children with much kindness and in 1785 printed a ‘Narrative and Proofs’ of Smith's bad conduct.

paragraph: Thomas and Anne had two children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Thomas Pitt, later 2nd Baron Camelford

paragraph: BULLET::::- Anne Pitt (September 1772 – 1864)

paragraph: Hester Thrale described Pitt as ‘a finical, lady-like man’ and Sir J. Eardley-Wilmot dubbed him in 1765 ‘the prince of all the male beauties,’ and ‘very well bred, polite, and sensible’. In his biography of Horace Walpole, Timothy Mowl took these comments to claim Pitt was a homosexual.

paragraph: Richard, Count of Acerra

paragraph: Richard, count of Acerra (died 30 November 1196) was an Italo-Norman nobleman, grandson of Robert of Medania, a Frenchman of Anjou. Brother of Sibylla, queen of Tancred of Sicily, Richard was the chief peninsular supporter of his brother-in-law during his claim for the throne in 1189.

paragraph: Richard was the co-commander of the army attached to Tancred's fleet in 1185. They captured Durazzo from the Byzantine Empire without a struggle. The city had fully surrendered by June 24. Richard then led his army on a march across the Balkan peninsula and by August 6 he had begun his siege of Thessalonica. On August 24 Thessalonika fell to Richard's armies in its turn. But Richard was defeated and captured at Battle of Demetritzes.

paragraph: In 1190, Richard was charged with keeping the German supporters of Roger of Andria out of Apulia. Richard secured all Apulia and the Terra di Lavoro. Richard then "raised a great army of Romans and men from Campania and the "Regno" to attack the Capuans and Aversans. He invaded the region of Monte Cassino, but at that time the German marshal Henry Testa invaded Apulia and joined with Roger of Andria. Richard fortified Ariano against them. They had much success until the German troops left. Richard then invited Roger to a meeting and treacherously imprisoned him and had him executed soon after. Richard finally turned to Capua at that junction and the city fearfully surrendered without a siege.

paragraph: Later, when the Emperor Henry VI, the only remaining claimant against Tancred, invaded the Terra di Lavoro, Richard took refuge in Naples. From May to August 1191, Henry invested the city with a siege, and Richard was wounded. When Henry was forced by illness to retire north of the Alps, Richard left Naples and pounced on Capua, where he massacred the Germans left there under Conrad Muscaincervello. Richard then besieged Roger of Molise in Venafro, then San Germano (now renamed Cassino), and finally the monastery of Monte Cassino itself. Those cities had surrendered to Henry resubmitted to Tancred, among them the city of Salerno surrendered Empress Constance, who had been entrusted to them by Henry, to Tancred. By then, Tancred's victory was secure. (Tancred was forced to release Constance in 1192.)

paragraph: When Tancred died in 1194, Henry quickly marched down the peninsula and had himself crowned in Palermo. Richard "abandoned Campania and Burgentia, the fortresses which he was [still] holding," and tried to flee. He was betrayed (fittingly) by a monk and turned over to the Diepold von Schweinspeunt, who threw him in prison. When, in 1196, Henry arrived in the south, Richard was turned over to him. As Richard of San Germano writes:

paragraph: Diepold was given the county of Acerra by Henry.

paragraph: It was also said that Henry hanged Richard in revenge of the capture of Constance.

paragraph: Sheikh Hussein (saint)

paragraph: Sheikh Hussein was a 13th-century Somali Muslim proselytizer from the royal city called Merca, who lived in Ethiopia. He is now honored as a saint. He is mostly known as being a member of the Somali 'Diwan al-awliya' (Famous Saints of Somali Origin).

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Sheikh Hussein was born in Merca one of the power jurisdiction and cultural centers of Ajuran Empire. He is credited for introducing Islam to the Sidamo people living in the area at the time. He is also credited for establishing a dynasty that ruled the Sultanate of Bale. He is also said to have performed many miracles. A number of these feats have been recorded in a hagiography published in Cairo in the 1920s, entitled "Rabi` al-Qulub." He gave his name to the town of Sheikh Hussein, which is now within the homelands of the Oromo people. The city is a popular destination for approximately 50,000 Muslim pilgrims from various parts Ethiopia, who congregate there twice a year during the Islamic months of Hajj and Rabi' al-Awwal. The first pilgrimage in February–March is to celebrate Sheikh Hussein's birth; the second in August–September is to commemorate his death. The pilgrims traditionally carry cleft sticks known as "Oulle Sheikh Hussein", which are too small to serve as walking sticks and are not utilized for any practical purpose. Once they arrive at the shrine, the pilgrims take their turn entering the saint's tomb by crawling through a small doorway.

paragraph: Ralph Beard

paragraph: Ralph Milton Beard Jr. (December 2, 1927 – November 29, 2007) was an American collegiate and professional basketball player.

paragraph: He won two NCAA national basketball championships at the University of Kentucky and played two years in the National Basketball Association prior to being barred for life for his participation in the 1951 point shaving scandal.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Beard was born in Hardinsburg, Kentucky. Beard grew up in Louisville and attended Louisville Male High School. He later cited the family's finances as a reason he took money from the gamblers. His mother worked a cleaning lady after his father left the family.

paragraph: He was a member of Adolph Rupp's "Fabulous Five" University of Kentucky basketball team, with Alex Groza, Wallace Jones, Cliff Barker, and Kenny Rollins. Beard won a gold medal in the 1948 Summer Olympics with the Fabulous Five and the Phillips 66ers.

paragraph: Taken in the second round of the 1949 NBA draft, Beard played two seasons with the Indianapolis Olympians and averaged 15.9 points and 4.4 assists per game.

paragraph: In October 1951, authorities charged him along with his former teammates Alex Groza and Dale Barnstable with taking bribes as part of the 1951 NCAA point shaving scandal. They pleaded guilty and received suspended sentences but the NBA Commissioner Maurice Podoloff banned all three for life from the NBA. Beard admitted that he took $700 but denied that he had ever shaved points in a game. He claimed that Frank Hogan, the New York district attorney, conspired with Podoloff of the NBA and Cardinal Francis Spellman, the Archbishop of New York to go after Midwestern players in an effort to protect players at Catholic colleges.

paragraph: He worked in the pharmaceutical industry afterward. His only involvement in the sport after his ban was some scouting work with the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association. He tried playing professional baseball but his ban for gambling prevented him from that sport as well.

paragraph: Later in life, the University of Kentucky welcomed him back. The school retired his jersey number in 1995 and invited him to speak to players about point shaving.

paragraph: In 1985, he was inducted into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Beard died on November 29, 2007 at his Louisville, Kentucky home.
