paragraph: Yakov Bukhvostov

paragraph: Yakov Grigorievich Bukhvostov (), a serf of Russian boyar Mikhail Tatishchev, designed the so-called "octagon on cube" churches in the Naryshkin Baroque mode. He was active in the 1690s in Moscow and Ryazan, where he supervised the construction of the new Dormition Cathedral in the kremlin. His tower churches in Ubory and Troitse-Lykovo "may owe something to prototypes in wooden Russian architecture". They are built of brick and decorated with profuse white stone ornamentation. A soaring white tower in front of New Jerusalem Monastery was also built from Bukhvostov's designs. Other buildings attributed to him include the Fili and Zyuzino churches. Some of the attributions are far fetched, since "there is documentary evidence of his being in charge of constructing only a handful of buildings".

paragraph: Section::::Traditional account of Bukhvostov's activities.

paragraph: The biography of Bukhvostov is largely unknown. He was a serf assigned to the village of Nikolskoe-Sverchkovo, close to Dmitrov, which belonged to Tatishchev boyars. He was first mentioned by reliable sources in 1690, when he won a concession to build monk cells in the Moiseev Monastery in Moscow (the monastery was later demolished). After completing the cells Bukhvostov, with his people, started the construction of walls and towers of the New Jerusalem Monastery in present-day Istra. The walls and towers of the monastery bear almost no decoration, something which is not typical for Bukhvostov's style. The only exception is the Church of the Entry to Jerusalem built on the top of one of the gates. This church was apparently started by Bukhvostov, but completed by Filipp Papuga and brothers Leonty and Emelyan Mikhaylov, using Bukhvostov's plans.

paragraph: In December 1692, when the construction of the New Jerusalem monastery was still under-way, Bukhvostov obtained a concession to build The Assumption (Dormition) cathedral in Ryazan, where the old cathedral had collapsed. Very soon afterwards Bukhvostov got a commission from a boyar, Pyotr Sheremetev, to build the Church of the Holy Mandylion in the village of Ubory, close to Moscow. He failed to complete the church within two years, a requirement of the contract, and Sheremetev asked the authorities to place Bukhvostov under arrest. Under the imminent threat of arrest, Bukhvostov struck a deal with Sheremetev to complete the church in 1696. When he failed to do this either, Sheremetev had him arrested, but then realized that the church would never be completed with Bukhvostov in jail and asked the authorities to release him. The church in Ubory was completed in 1697, although Sheremetev was already dead.

paragraph: Bukhvostov completed the Assumption cathedral in Ryazan during 1699 and went on to construct a number of churches in the same city. None of these churches have survived into this century. His last documented work (1698 — 1704) is the Trinity Church in Troitse-Lykovo, now within the city limits of Moscow. No details of the architect's later life survived.

paragraph: Section::::Oeuvres.

paragraph: The following buildings have been documented as having been constructed by Bukhvostov and his associates:

paragraph: BULLET::::- The walls and towers of the New Jerusalem Monastery, including the Church of the Entry to Jerusalem, 1690 — 1697. Destroyed in World War II, subsequently restored.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Church of the Holy Mandylion in Ubory, 1694 — 1697.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Assumption (Dormition) Cathedral in Ryazan, 1693 — 1699.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Holy Trinity Church in Troitse-Lykovo, 1698 — 1704.

paragraph: Besides these four, a number of churches somewhat similar in style have been attributed to Bukhvostov in some non-specialist literature, without any documented sources, just on the basis of the comparison of the style. These include:

paragraph: BULLET::::- John the Baptist and Saint Spirit churches in the Solotcha monastery, close to Ryazan.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Church of Saints Boris and Gleb in Zyuzino, now in Moscow.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Church of the Intercession at Fili, now in Moscow.

paragraph: Stephen Burrows (designer)

paragraph: Stephen Burrows (born in Newark, New Jersey on May 15, 1943) is an American fashion designer based in New York City. He went to the Fashion Institute of Design, then began work in the New York City's garment center, alternately managing his own businesses and working closely with luxury department store Henri Bendel. He is known for being the first African-American fashion designer to develop a mainstream, high-fashion clientele. His garments, known for their bright colors and "lettuce" curly-edges, became an integral part of the "Fun City" New York City disco-dancing scene of the 1970s.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Stephen Burrows was born in Newark, New Jersey on May 15, 1943. He was raised by his mother, Octavia Pennington, and her mother, Beatrice Pennington Banks Simmons (sometime sample hand for Hattie Carnegie). Fascinated with his grandmother's zigzag sewing machine, he learned to sew early. He made his first garment for a friend's doll when he was eight years old.

paragraph: As a high school student, Burrows took dance lessons and loved the mambo. He began heading to Manhattan on Sundays to dance at the Palladium, and then it was a natural step to begin sketching dresses he wanted for his partners. However, when he graduated from Newark's Arts High School, he first enrolled at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art, intending to be an art teacher.

paragraph: Inspired by dress forms he came across during a tour of the college, he transferred to New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology, but found it frustrating. FIT professors taught a set of basic draping rules that Burrows had no patience with. Even then he had established his spontaneous style of cutting at all angles, stretching edges off grain, and draping as he went. Nonetheless, he graduated in 1966.

paragraph: Section::::Fashion career.

paragraph: Burrows began his working career with a job at blouse manufacturer Weber Originals. While working there, he created pieces for his friends to wear out dancing. Gradually his work was picked up by small shops, and in 1968 he began working with Andy Warhol and his entourage at Max's Kansas City, selling across the street at the O Boutique. Burrows' clothes were described as the fashion embodiment of the electric sexuality of this era. The women who wore his clothes gave off this aura of frantically creative days and wild nights filled with disco music and glamorous people.

paragraph: Accustomed to tease his FIT classmates about which of them would sell their lines at Henri Bendel, Burrows himself was introduced to Geraldine Stutz, Bendel's owner, in the summer of 1968. She loved the coat he wore to meet her so much that she gave him a boutique in the store.

paragraph: In fall of 1973, Burrows' first lingerie/sleepwear collection, called "Stevies" was introduced at Henri Bendel's, Bonwit Teller, Lord & Taylor, and Bloomingdales, as well as stores in Chicago, San Francisco, and elsewhere.

paragraph: In 1978 Farrah Fawcett wore his gold chainmail dress to the Academy Awards where she was a presenter. In February 1981 Brooke Shields, at age 15, appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine wearing Stephen Burrows. Other women who loved his clothes included Barbra Streisand, Cher, the Supremes, Bette Midler, and Jerry Hall.

paragraph: In May 2006 the CFDA honored Burrows with "The Board of Directors Special Tribute". Around the same time, Burrows was invited by the Chambre Syndicale de la Mode to return to Paris to present his Spring/Summer 2007 Collection in the Carousel de Louvre. In addition to "Stephen Burrows World", Burrows expanded his company to include a number of labels drawn from various points of inspiration. "S by Burrows" was created for a venture with Home Shopping Europe (HSN) in Munich, Germany, while "Everyday Girl" was inspired by Anna Cleveland, daughter to muse and model Pat Cleveland, and "SB73," a cut and sew knit line that was developed based on Burrows' hallmark, color-blocked creations of the seventies.

paragraph: First Lady Michelle Obama wore a Burrows Jersey pantsuit to a Washington DC event. Remarking on the significance, "Vogue Magazine" wrote, "It was a wonderful acknowledgement of Burrows, one of the great African-American designers and a Harlem resident known for his inventive cuts and bias technique."

paragraph: Also in 2010, Burrows opened his new showroom and design studio in New York City’s Garment Center.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Coty American Fashion Critics award ("Winnie"), 1973

paragraph: BULLET::::- Coty American Fashion Critics special award (lingerie), 1974

paragraph: BULLET::::- Coty American Fashion Critics award ("Winnie"), 1977

paragraph: BULLET::::- Council of American Fashion Critics award, 1975

paragraph: BULLET::::- Knitted Textile Association Crystal Ball award, 1975

paragraph: Section::::Retrospectives.

paragraph: Burrows’ work as a fashion designer has been the subject of a series of retrospectives: in "1940-1970's Cut and Style" at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology; "The 1970s" at The Tribute Gallery in New York, and in "Back to Black: Art, Cinema, and the Racial Imaginary" at Whitechapel Gallery in London in June 2005. That same year he was the subject of a documentary by filmmaker Jenny Grenville and is the subject of another documentary under development by Patrick di Santo. In 2013, the Museum of the City of New York mounted the first major examination of Burrows' work in "Stephen Burrows: When Fashion Danced" with an accompanying catalog.

paragraph: Samuel E. Vázquez

paragraph: Samuel E. Vázquez, styled as Samuel E Vázquez (born Samuel Enrique Vázquez Rivas, 1970) was a participant of the New York City Subway graffiti art movement of the 1980s. Today, Vázquez works on abstract expressionist paintings.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Vázquez was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1970 to parents of African, Spanish, French, and Jewish descent. His parents recognized his artistic inclination at the age of four and encouraged him to explore the arts. In 1979 the family moved to New York City where Samuel first became aware of the graffiti that covered the city's subways and walls. By 1983 Samuel began painting and writing the subways using the name "Brame." He is a member of numerous New York City graffiti crews. "He [Vázquez] was part of a generation that claimed their humanity by literally writing their own names on walls to keep from being dismissed." Vázquez was mentored by fellow graffiti artist Anthony "A-One" Clark, a collaborator of neo-expressionist painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. After the New York City subway graffiti era ended, Vázquez shifted his focus to furthering his education. He holds degrees from New York City College of Technology, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, and the Herron School of Art and Design.

paragraph: Section::::Art.

paragraph: Vázquez's abstract paintings are rooted in his urban upbringing and often incorporate the spontaneous markings commonly found in large city walls and surfaces. "...Vázquez combines his past in a now extinct New York with painting to create abstract pieces that assault your mind with color and singular visual concepts."

paragraph: Culture writer Karla D. Romero of the Spanish magazine "Humanize" wrote, "His work embodies an ancient art, with a fresh perspective and an overall comprehension of a seemingly fictional New York City, where youth took to the streets to create art, to tag their social message and connect with their city... If you are of the Picasso mindset, 'Bad artists copy, Good artists steal,' then you will probably hate Vázquez's work, not because he doesn't use a medium that is common, but because he does so in a way that is unique, organic and graceful... If you believe in originality and the force behind doing something unlike anyone else, then you'll love Vázquez's work. I think Dalí said it best, 'The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was probably an idiot,' Vázquez is clearly a poet."

paragraph: In 2013, Vázquez made a graffiti painting on the grounds of the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA). The invitation to paint at the museum was in conjunction with artist Ai Weiwei's "According to What?" exhibition at the IMA. Early in 2014, Vázquez was a guest panelist, at the Indianapolis Public Library Central Branch, for a screening of the documentary "The Wrinkles of the City - La Havana", directed by artists JR and José Parlá.

paragraph: Vázquez has also curated a number of art exhibitions, including "25 Above Water," (2005-2006, Marsh Gallery-Herron School of Art and Design, Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana), in support of the Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita relief efforts, and "In An Expression of the Inexpressible," (2009, Dean Johnson Gallery, Indianapolis, Indiana) an exhibition that explored the interaction between music and art. The exhibition's title was adapted from the song of the same title, "In An Expression of the Inexpressible," (1998) with permission from the alternative rock band Blonde Redhead. The album cover for "Black Devil Disco Club - Eight Oh Eight" created by Non-Format in collaboration with Belgium artist Géraldine Georges was used as the exhibition's marketing image. Notable artists that have participated in Vázquez-curated exhibitions include Stefan Sagmeister, Non-Format, Karlssonwilker, Mike Mills, Hannah Waldron, Si Scott, Géraldine Georges, Mike Joyce/Stereotype Design NYC, Sara Haraigue, Yokoland, Jean Jullien, and Rick Valincenti/3st.

paragraph: In 2016, Vázquez was featured on the podcast "Obsessed With Design", where he spoke about his artistic path from the New York City subways to gallery walls.

paragraph: To date Vázquez's paintings have been the subject of over 35 solo and group exhibitions at galleries and cultural institutions such as Clowes Memorial Hall of Butler University, the Madame Walker Theatre Center, the Indiana State Museum, the Herron and Marsh Galleries of Indiana University, and the Dean Johnson Gallery – all in Indianapolis – as well as the Beard Arts Center of Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana, and the Grace Gallery in Brooklyn, New York City, among others.

paragraph: Dominique-André de Chambarlhac

paragraph: Dominique-André Chambarlhac (17 May 1754 – 4 August 1823) was a military engineer of the French Army during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. Born in Arraye-sur-Seille (Lorraine), he belonged to a family of native nobility of Vivarais.

paragraph: Section::::Family and military service.

paragraph: Born on 17 May 1754 in Lorraine, he was the illegitimate son of André de Chambarlhac, Lieutenant colonel and Seigneur de La Chaux, and Marie-Mathieu. Chambarlhac belonged to a family of Vivarais nobility, and sources frequently confuse his family line with that of Jacques-Antoine de Chambarlhac de Laubespin, also a baron of empire.

paragraph: He became a cadet on 1 June 1763, in the King's Infantry Regiment. Admitted to the School of Engineering at Mezieres in 1769, he graduated on 31 January 1773 as second lieutenant and received the certificate for engineering first lieutenant on 18 January 1775. He served successively in such fortifications as Nancy, Verdun, Thionville, Landau and Fort-Louis from 1776 to 1785, and achieved the rank of captain on 30 March 1786.

paragraph: He joined the Vosges volunteers and commanded the Fort-Louis on 11 August 1792. Subsequently, he was appointed lieutenant colonel and engineer-in-chief. As chief engineer, Chambarlhac was responsible for the defense during the siege. Finally, without ammunition, food, or supplies, the garrison surrendered on 14 November 1794; Chambarlhac was not released until 23 September 1795 ("1 vendemaire an IV"). During his captivity, and in recognition of his gallant defense, on 21 March 1795 ("1 germinal an III" ), he received the rank of brigade chief and director of fortifications.

paragraph: After his release, he served in Strasbourg, another heavily fortified city, from 16 October 1795 ("24 vendemaire an IV"). On 9 March 1796 ("19 Ventose an V"), as chief engineer, joined the Army of the Rhine and Moselle. Throughout 1796, he served in this Army's campaign, supervising the crossing into the German states, and the offensives at several cities. He supervised the technical aspects of the defense of the fortress of Kehl at the end of the campaign, and he was wounded in the leg during one of the French sorties to dislodge the Austrian besiegers.

paragraph: The fortress at Kehl fell on 9 January 1797, and the fortress at Hüningen a month later. On 19 February 1797 ("1 ventôse an V"), Chambarlhac assumed charge of the fortifications at Landau. He left 29 August 1800 to supervise the refortification of Mainz. The government charged him in 1801 with the demolition of fortifications at Kastel, Ehrenbreitstein and Düsseldorf. On 11 December 1803 ("19 frimaire an XII"), he received a founding patent of the Legion of Honor.

paragraph: Section::::Family and military service.:Napoleonic wars.

paragraph: Sent to the Army of Naples in 1806, Chambarlhac witnessed the siege of Gaeta, and received, after the surrender of the place, the order to go to the Grande Armée.

paragraph: Fran Reed

paragraph: Frances Ann Reed (née Williams; June 12, 1943 – September 11, 2008) was an American fiber artist and teacher based in Alaska who specialized in a distinctive style of basketry made from dried fish skins and other natural materials found in the state.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Reed was born Frances Williams in La Jolla, California, on June 12, 1943 to parents Charles and Mary Alice Williams. Reed, a competitive swimmer, graduated from La Jolla High School in 1961. She met her husband, Dick Reed, in 1961 while both were students at the University of Oregon. The couple had two children, Collin and Jocelyn.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Career.

paragraph: Reed graduated from University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Science degree in art education. She began teaching weaving at an art school in Eugene, Oregon, after her graduation.

paragraph: She relocated to Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1969. Once in Fairbanks, Reed began teaching qiviut weaving (musk ox wool) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. She also worked as a lecturer at Alaska Pacific University, where she taught Alaska Native arts for fifteen years. Additionally, Reed worked for the Alaska Marine Highway Elderhostel program.

paragraph: Reed began working with dried fish as an art material in 1986 using dead "river kill" fish collected from the Chena River. The family moved south to Anchorage shortly afterwards when her husband, Dick Reed, an architect, was hired for a large project. Southcentral Alaska offered more numerous, diverse fish species than those found near Reed's former home in Fairbanks. This allowed her to incorporate more fish skins in her art and expand her interests.

paragraph: Through her art, Reed became an expert on the use of fish skins and their uses, especially in the traditional indigenous art of Alaska, such as baskets. She extensively researched Alaskan fish skin and their uses independently. Her unique art and expertise attracted attention from throughout Alaska and the rest of the United States. This led to a number of awards and honors.

paragraph: Reed's fish skin baskets and other crafts were featured in the book, "Arctic Clothing", which was published by the British Museum Press. She received the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Artists at Giverny fellowship in 1996, which allowed her to study at the home of Claude Monet in France for three months. She also received the Rasmuson Foundation and Western States Arts Federation fellowships during her career. In 1989, Reed was adopted into the Tsimshian Killer Whale clan, which is also known as the Gispwudwada.

paragraph: In 1997, Reed was commissioned by the Governor of Alaska to create the prizes given to the recipients of the Alaska Governor's Arts Awards.

paragraph: Reed was awarded the Anchorage Mayor's Award for Outstanding Individual Artist by Mayor Mark Begich in 2008. Despite being ill with cancer, Reed spent four days in 2008 at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. Reed aided Smithsonian staff and curators to restore and identify animal skins in the museum's Native Alaskan collection.

paragraph: Reed was a member of The Friends of Fiber Arts International and Northwest Designer Craftsmen.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death.

paragraph: Fran Reed died of cancer on September 11, 2008, at the age of 65, in Anchorage, Alaska. She is survived by her husband and children.

paragraph: Reed's final scholarly paper, entitled "Embellishment of the Alaska Native Gut Parka", was presented posthumously at the 11th Biennial Textile Society of America Symposium in Honolulu, Hawaii, by Audrey Armstrong. Armstrong, an Athabascan basket maker and friend of Reed, had been taught many techniques and skills by Reed.

paragraph: Michael J. Wytrwal

paragraph: Michael J. Wytrwal (12 September 1882 in Kraków, Prussia – 21 January 1970 Amsterdam, New York) was one of the successful businessmen and entrepreneurs of the early 1900s in Amsterdam, New York. He was actively engaged in managing a diversified portfolio of business interests that serve as the precursor to today's conglomerate. These interests include real estate, pharmaceuticals, furniture, timber holdings, insurance, defense contracting, consumer goods, banking and financial services, textiles, and energy via the M. J. Wytrwal Coal & Oil Company based in Amsterdam's famous Reid Hill in upstate New York and the Clyde Bank Knitting Company in Fort Plain.

paragraph: At the age of 14, Wytrwal immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island, and moved to Amsterdam, a city located in Montgomery County, New York, just in time for the initial stellar growth of the booming textile, carpet and rug-making industries, powered by the rushing waters of the Chuctenunda Creek into the Mohawk River. These textile mills, run by the Sanfords, Shuttleworths and others, employed thousands of new immigrants, made superior floor covering products, and generated tremendous wealth for their shareholders. They were the building blocks of what is now known as Mohawk Industries of Calhoun, Georgia. This wealth generation and concentration in a small city of upstate New York resulted in the Fulton-Montgomery County region having the largest number of millionaires on a per capita basis in the U.S. during the early 1900s.

paragraph: Wytrwal was one of the founding members and initial investors in forming the Amsterdam Federal Savings and Loan Association, a privately owned bank also known as the "Polish Bank" on Church Street. Many years later, the bank conducted an initial public offering and went public under the ticker symbol AFED, (Amsterdam Federal Savings) on October 1, 1996. AFED later merged with Amsterdam Savings Bank to form Mohawk Community Bank, which was later acquired by Hudson River Bank & Trust, which was acquired by First Niagara Financial Group, and is now part of KeyCorp, a US$135 billion bank based in Cleveland, Ohio.

paragraph: He was widely recognized as one of the leading and prosperous merchants of Amsterdam and enjoyed an "unassailable reputation for integrity and reliability".

paragraph: Wytrwal was actively in engaged in federal, state and local politics and assisted President, and former New York Governor, Franklin D. Roosevelt in implementing various economic relief programs during the Great Depression of the 1930s and was known as the "Polish Mayor" of Amsterdam.

paragraph: In one of those assignments, he served as the Chairman, Montgomery County of the National Recovery Act (NRA). The NRA was a component of the New Deal's National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933. Wytrwal was well known for enjoying "welfare peanut butter" - he bought many jars from destitute people in the Mohawk Valley, those that could not find employment and were too proud to ask for a handout.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Wytrwal was born on September 12, 1882 in Kraków, Prussia, and attended public schools there through the age of 14. In 1896, he sought out adventure and opportunity, immigrated to the US through Liberty Island, initially settling in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He stayed there for six months and then moved north to Amsterdam, New York.

paragraph: Section::::Family and personal life.

paragraph: Wytrwal was married twice — first to Ms. Mamie Brudzdowski on October 26, 1904, who died on February 26, 1906. He was remarried on May 24, 1907 to Ms. Josephine Bruzdowski. He had a total of 7 children — one son from his first marriage, and another son and five daughters in his second marriage.

paragraph: Wytrwal died on January 21, 1970 at the age of 87 in Amsterdam, NY. He is survived by 5 generations of offspring.

paragraph: Notable descendents of Michael Wytrwal include the late Dr. Raymond Wytrwal of St. Johnsville, NY; former New York Lieutenant Governor Mary Anne Krupsak, an attorney and entrepreneur, who was one of the leading pioneers of women's rights in the 1970s; and Army Colonel Edmund Luzine, a veteran of operations in former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq, finance professor and global emerging markets investment banker.

paragraph: Wytrwal Industries, LLC — is a consulting and advisory firm focused on finance, economics, natural resources, and the global emerging markets with offices in upstate New York and Miami-Dade County. It is managed by Ed Luzine, Michael Wytrwal's great-grandson.

paragraph: Frederik of Baden (9 July 1455 – 24 September 1517 in Lier) was a bishop of Utrecht from 1496 to 1517.

paragraph: Frederick of Baden was the son of margrave Charles I of Baden-Baden and Catherine of Austria, sister of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor.

paragraph: He was canon at Cologne before he was elected as bishop of Utrecht through heavy pressure from Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. The Emperor hoped that Frederik, as a full nephew, would be favourable to Habsburg interests in the bishopric of Utrecht. The states of Utrecht, however, were on an independent course and approached Duke Charles of Guelders. Frederik attempted to act strongly, but the faction-struggles became too much for him. When it was revealed in 1514 that he was planning to relinquish the bishopric to a candidate of King Louis XII of France, he lost the support of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who forced him to resign on 9 May 1517.br

paragraph: Charles then managed to get Philip of Burgundy elected.

paragraph: After his death, Frederik was interred in the church of Baden-Baden.

paragraph: Muhyi ad-Din Muzaffar Jang Hidayat

paragraph: Muhyi ad-Din Muzaffar Jang Hidayat (died 13 February 1751) was the ruler of Hyderabad briefly, from 1750 to his death in battle in 1751. His official name was "Nawab Hidayat Muhi ud-din Sa'adu'llah Khan Bahadur, Muzaffar Jang, Nawab Subadar of the Deccan". He was also given a very pompous title like his predecessor and rival Nasir Jung; it was "Nawab Khan Bahadur, Muzaffar Jung, Nawab Subadar of the Deccan". He became famously known as "Muzaffar Jung".

paragraph: Section::::Birth.

paragraph: He was born to Nawab Talib Muhi ud-din Mutawassil Khan "Bahadur" who was the "Naib Subahdar" (Deputy Governor) of Bijapur and his wife "Sahibzadi" Khair-un-nisa Begum who was the daughter of Nizam-ul-Mulk.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Initially, he was appointed to an Imperial mansab of 3,000 "zat" and 2,000 "sowar" and later promoted to 4,000 zat on his appointment to Bijapur. He was Subadar of Bijapur after the death of his father. When his grandfather Nizam-ul-Mulk died in 1748, he decided to stake his claim to the throne in opposition to his uncle, Nasir Jung. This resulted in the first major direct involvement of the Europeans in Indian domestic politics. He joined hands with his Carnatic ally Chanda Sahib and the French while Nasir Jung joined hands with his Carnatic ally Muhammad Ali Khan Walajah and the British. Eventually, the serious situation in Deccan and Carnatic would result in the Second Carnatic War. During the war Muzaffar Jung was briefly captured in March, 1750 after the Battle of Villianur. But after the assassination of Nasir Jung, he was released and took the throne of Hyderabad, 16 December 1750. He granted territories and titles to Dupleix and the French on 31 December 1750. He failed however, to honor his Afghan allies in a similar way. The resulting disagreement led to the Battle of Lakkireddipalli Pass in the Rayachoti taluka, Kadapa district, where the Nawab of Kurnool struck him in the head with a spear, 13 February 1751 killing him instantly.

paragraph: Muzzafar Jung's death is somehow linked to the deaths of the Nawab of Kurnool and Nawab of Savanur, Abdul Majid Khan I.

paragraph: At this critical juncture in history the French commander De Bussy made the decision to install Salabat Jung as the new Nizam.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Muzaffar Jang had only one son named, Nawab Muhammad Sa'ad ud-din Khan Bahadur who was a minor at the death of his father in February 1751. He became Subedar of Bijapur in 1751. But died later from smallpox.

paragraph: Robert Etheridge

paragraph: Robert Etheridge FRS FRSE FGS (3 December 1819 – 18 December 1903) was an English geologist and palaeontologist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Etheridge was born at Ross-on-Wye, in Herefordshire, the son of Thomas Etheridge and his wife Hannah Pardoe. After an ordinary school education in his native town, he obtained employment in a business house in Bristol. There he devoted his spare time to natural history pursuits.

paragraph: At the Bristol Philosophical Institution for lectures, he encountered William Sanders and Samuel Stutchbury, and in 1850 was appointed curator of its museum. He also became lecturer on botany in the Bristol medical school. In 1857, through the influence of Sir Roderick I. Murchison, he was appointed to a post in the Museum of Practical Geology in London, and eventually became palaeontologist to the Geological Survey.

paragraph: In 1865 he assisted Prof. Huxley in the preparation of a "Catalogue of Fossils in the Museum of Practical Geology". His chief work for many years was in naming the fossils collected during the progress of the Geological Survey, and in supplying the lists that were appended to numerous official memoirs. In this way he acquired an exceptional knowledge of British fossils, and he ultimately prepared an elaborate work entitled "Fossils of the British Islands, Stratigraphically and Zoologically Arranged". Only the first volume dealing with the Palaeozoic species was published (1888). Etheridge also was author of several papers on the Rhaetic Beds, and of an important essay on the "Physical Structure of North Devon", and on the "Palaeontological Value of the Devonian Fossils" (1867). He edited, and in the main rewrote, the second part of a new edition of John Phillips's "Manual of Geology" entitled "Stratigraphical Geology and Palaeontology" (1885). He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1871, was awarded the Murchison Medal of the Geological Society of London in 1880 and was president of that Society in 1881-1882. In 1881 Etheridge was transferred from the Geological Survey to the geological department of the British Museum, where he served as assistant keeper until 1891. In 1896 he was the first recipient of the Bolitho Medal of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall.

paragraph: He died in Chelsea, London, on 18 December 1903. He is buried in Brompton Cemetery.

paragraph: His son Robert Etheridge, Junior was also a palaeontologist.

paragraph: Section::::Spurious quotation.

paragraph: Etheridge is quoted in creationist literature as saying:

paragraph: In all this great museum there is not a particle of evidence of transmutation of species. Nine-tenths of the talk of evolutionists is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by fact. This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of their views.

paragraph: The content of the statement differs in creationist books and the quote is often misattributed to Etheridge's son Robert Etheridge Jr. The origin of the quote is a letter from George Edward Post that appeared in the "New York Evangelist" for September 10, 1885.

paragraph: It is possible that Post may have misrepresented Etheridge's views. Etheridge never wrote about the transmutation of species in his publications.

paragraph: Derrick Williams (American football)

paragraph: Derrick Williams (born July 6, 1986) is a former American football wide receiver. He was selected by the Detroit Lions with the 18th pick of the 3rd round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He was a wide receiver and 2008 team captain for the Penn State Nittany Lions.

paragraph: Section::::High school.

paragraph: Williams was widely regarded as the top high school football prospect of 2005, coming out of Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland. He received scholarship offers from more than 50 Division I schools. Relentless recruiting forced him to twice change his cell phone number. He was named "Rivals.com" High School Junior of the Year in 2003, and was ranked as the number one recruit in the nation after his senior year.

paragraph: Williams initially leaned towards attending the University of Florida, but re-opened his recruitment after the firing of head coach Ron Zook. He strongly considered offers from Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee, before announcing live on ESPN that he would attend Penn State. Penn State was coming off four losing seasons in five years, and head coach Joe Paterno was under increasing pressure to retire. Williams relished the challenge of returning the Penn State program to its former stature, saying "I did it because I trusted in [Paterno]. He promised me I could help turn the program around and leave my mark there, which I did."

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: As a true freshman, Williams was spectacular at quarterback, running back,and wide receiver. His touchdown catch late in Penn State's matchup with Northwestern that year won the Lions that game and was nominated for a Game-Changing Performance of the Year. It was part of an explosive, four-touchdown start that was cut short by a broken arm he suffered during the Nittany Lions' October 15, 2005 loss against the University of Michigan, the team's only loss that season.

paragraph: "The Sporting News" named Williams to the freshman All-Big Ten Conference team despite having played just seven games in 2005. He was named to the preseason All-Big Ten second-team for the 2006 season by "The Sporting News".

paragraph: In the 2006 year he returned at wide receiver for the Nittany Lions, but registered just two touchdowns all season. He played both running back and wideout in the Outback Bowl, helping Penn State to a 20-10 win against Tennessee.

paragraph: He began the 2007 season with only 6 catches for 45 yards in his first two games, but had an electrifying 78-yard punt return touchdown against Notre Dame, his second career special teams touchdown. He ended the season with 55 receptions for 529 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also had 16 rushing attempts for 101 yards and a touchdown. He had a season high ten catches for 95 yards and one Touchdown vs. in a 26-19 win over Purdue.

paragraph: Prior to the 2008 season, Williams was nominated to the Maxwell and Biletnikoff Award watchlists.

paragraph: Williams became the first player under the coaching of Joe Paterno to score a touchdown on a catch, run and kick return in the same game, when he accomplished the feat against the Illinois Fighting Illini on September 27, 2008. The Nittany Lions won the game 38-24. Williams was named the Big Ten special teams player of the week following the Nittany Lions victory. At the end of the 2008 season, he was named a first team All-Big Ten selection. He ended the season with 44 catches for 485 yards and a career-high four touchdown receptions. In his final game, the 2009 Rose Bowl loss to Southern California, he had a fourth-quarter touchdown reception.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:2009 NFL Draft.

paragraph: At the 2009 NFL Combine, Williams ran 4.55 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He recorded a slower time than anticipated partly because he had the flu. Williams was selected 82nd overall by the Detroit Lions. He is represented by fellow Penn-Stater Chafie Fields.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Detroit Lions.

paragraph: Williams was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the third round (#82 overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft. He signed a three-year contract with the team on July 29, 2009. Williams was waived by the Lions on September 3, 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Pittsburgh Steelers.

paragraph: Williams was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in January 2012. After playing in 4 pre-season games, he was released by the Steelers on August 31, 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Toronto Argonauts.

paragraph: Williams signed with the Toronto Argonauts on March 13, 2013. He was released on by the team on May 2, 2013.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Williams has a longtime friendship with former Nittany Lion linebacker LaVar Arrington. The two first met during Arrington's time with the Washington Redskins, when Williams was playing high school football in nearby Greenbelt, Maryland.

paragraph: Arrington gave Williams the nickname "Jesus Shuttlesworth," after the lead character—a highly coveted high school recruit—in Spike Lee's "He Got Game".

paragraph: Williams trained with an athletic group known as The Stable, with whom he has worked out since he was 10 years old, working on speed, agility, and endurance.

paragraph: Timothy Manning

paragraph: Timothy Manning (Irish: "Tadhg Ó Mongáin") (November 15, 1909 – June 23, 1989) was an Irish American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Los Angeles from 1970 to 1985, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1973.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and ministry.

paragraph: Timothy Manning was born in Ballingeary, Ireland, to Cornelius and Margaret (née Cronin) Manning. Originally attending Mungret College in Limerick, he followed a call for priests in the United States and entered St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, California, in 1928. Manning was ordained on June 16, 1934, and then furthered his studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, obtaining his doctorate in canon law in 1938.

paragraph: Upon his return to the States, he did pastoral work in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, also serving as secretary to Archbishop John Joseph Cantwell from 1938 to 1946. Manning was raised to the rank of Privy Chamberlain of His Holiness on April 15, 1943, and later Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on November 17, 1945. He became chancellor for the Archdiocese on March 19, 1946.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.

paragraph: On August 3, 1946, Manning was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles and Titular Bishop of Lesvi by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 15 from Bishop Joseph Thomas McGucken, with Bishops James Edward Walsh, MM, and Thomas Arthur Connolly serving as co-consecrators.

paragraph: He became vicar general of the Archdiocese on November 29, 1955, and attended the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Bishop of Fresno.

paragraph: Manning was named the first Bishop of Fresno on October 16, 1967. During his tenure, he supported the organization of a labor union for Central Valley farm workers, and sought to help wine producers and grape pickers reconcile their differences.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Archbishop of Los Angeles.

paragraph: After less than two years in Fresno, Manning was named Coadjutor Archbishop of Los Angeles and Titular Archbishop of Capreae on May 26, 1969. He succeeded James Francis McIntyre as the third Archbishop of Los Angeles on January 21, 1970. While a strong proponent of ecclesiastical authority, Manning took a more gentle style than his predecessor. The end of McIntyre's tenure saw tensions with the clergy and minorities and, following Manning's ascension, the new Archbishop stated, "My first reaction was to make it known that I was here to listen." He instituted ministries for blacks and Hispanics, a presbyterial council to grant the clergy greater participation in the governance of the Archdiocese, and an Inter-Parochial Council to extend the same participation to the laity. Shortly after becoming Archbishop, a majority of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who had feuded with McIntyre, left the religious life and founded a lay community. He also supported the 1973 merger of the all-male Loyola University and all-female Marymount College into Loyola Marymount University in 1973; McIntyre had resisted attempts to allow co-education in the Archdiocese's Catholic university and colleges.

paragraph: Pope Paul VI created him Cardinal Priest of S. Lucia a Piazza d'Armi in the consistory of March 5, 1973. During the Vietnam War, Manning counseled young men on their right to become conscientious objectors. Staunchly pro-life, the Archbishop declared that any Catholic who cooperated in an abortion would suffer excommunication from the Church, including the mother herself. In 1974, in response to the Supreme Court's ruling on "Roe v. Wade", he testified before the Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments of the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying, "An amendment is necessary first of all to protect the lives of the unborn children who can be killed—indeed, are being killed at this very moment—in the wake of the Supreme Court's decisions. But it is also needed to restore integrity to the law itself, to make the American legal system once more the guarantor and protector of all human rights and the human rights of all."

paragraph: Manning was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the conclaves of August and October 1978, which selected Popes John Paul I and John Paul II respectively. Before entering the August conclave, he noted that the Church "has no political support in many places" and called for a pope who could "change people through warmth." In 1981, John Paul II sent him as a special papal envoy to the celebration in Drogheda, Ireland of the third centennial of Saint Oliver Plunkett's martyrdom. He called for a halt to the deportation of Salvadoran civil war refugees in 1983.

paragraph: Section::::Later life and death.

paragraph: After fifteen years in Los Angeles, Manning retired as Archbishop on June 4, 1985. He took up residence at Holy Family Parish in South Pasadena.

paragraph: Manning died on June 23, 1989 at the Norris Cancer Hospital of the University of Southern California, aged 79. He is buried at Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles.

paragraph: Jack Williams (rugby union)

paragraph: John Frederick 'Jack' Williams (18 November 188228 August 1911) was a Welsh international rugby union lock who played club rugby for London Welsh. He won four caps for Wales between 1905 and 1906 and most notably was a member of the winning Welsh team against the original All Blacks.

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: Of all the Welsh players who made up the 1905 "Champions of the World" team, Williams is the most enigmatic. Over his career he achieved by far the lowest number of international caps out of the 1905 team and played the majority of his career outside Wales. It was said that Williams was a good kicker of the ball and "could pick up like a half, pass like a centre and run like a wing". During his club career with London Welsh he captained the club during the 1907/08 season.

paragraph: Williams began playing rugby while in school at Christ College, Brecon. After moving to London, he joined Welsh exile club London Welsh, also turning out for English side Richmond. Williams made his international debut against Ireland on 11 March 1905 while playing for London Welsh. He was chosen for the 1905 All Blacks game and he proved an excellent choice working well with Harding and Hodges to back up Dai Jones in the pack and line out. Williams short international career ended in the disastrous 1906 South African game, where dissent surrounding the pack resulted in a Welsh team without cohesion. The selectors decided a 'clean sweep' was required and very few of that team, including Williams, played for Wales again.

paragraph: In 1908 Williams was chosen to join Harding's Anglo-Welsh team who toured Australia and New Zealand.

paragraph: In 1910, Williams was sent to Northern Nigeria, by the Colonial Office to work in the capacity of a commissioner. It was recorded in "The Sportsman" that shortly after assuming his post, Williams was shot by a local. The paper went on to state that Williams had recovered from the bullet wound, and that the shooting had been an accident. Williams died the next year, at the age of 28, after contracting blackwater fever in Nigeria while on Colonial Service.

paragraph: Hermann Lietz

paragraph: Hermann Lietz (28 April 1868 in Dumgenevitz auf Rügen – 12 June 1919 in Haubinda) was a German educational progressive and theologian who founded the German "Landerziehungsheime für Jungen" (country boarding schools).

paragraph: In 1898 he taught at the progressive Abbotsholme School for boys, founded in Derbyshire, England, in 1889 by Cecil Reddie. Lietz was impressed by the Abbotsholme system of education, which combined comprehensive individual instruction with physical exercise and recreation. By 1904 he had founded three Landerziehungsheime, based on Reddie’s model, for boys of different ages, in Ilsenburg, Haubinda, and Bieberstein. Lietz eventually succeeded in establishing five more Landerziehungsheime.

paragraph: Like the Abbotsholme model, Lietz emphasized sports, crafts, modern languages and science, while de-emphasizing rote learning and classical languages. He was a student of Wilhelm Rein, and was himself an influence on Gustav Wyneken, Elisabeth Rotten, and Kurt Hahn. His school was also attended by Elisabeth von Thadden. Lietz's liberalism extended to education and criticism of class privilege only. He was otherwise politically right wing and distrusted socialism, parliamentary politics, and the influence of urban life.

paragraph: Esau Jenkins

paragraph: Esau Jenkins (July 3, 1910 – October 30, 1972) was a South Carolina Afro-American Human Rights leader, businessman, and community organizer. He was the founder and moving spirit of many organizations and institutions which helped improved the political, educational, housing, health and economic conditions of his fellows.

paragraph: Jenkins grew up during the times of segregation, when educational opportunities were not available to him - but he knew the importance of education and was determined that his children and those of others would not be denied. In the 1940s, Esau and his wife Janie used their money from farming and selling produce to purchase several buses. These buses were used to transport their own children and others on the Sea Islands to school in Charleston and thus further their education. In 1951, he was instrumental in the establishment of Haut Gap High School on Johns Island, so all children on the island would have the educational opportunity to better themselves. Today, Haut Gap is an advance studies magnet middle school.

paragraph: Jenkins’ buses also transported workers to jobs in the Charleston area. During the bus rides, Jenkins and his wife would teach their adult passengers the information needed to pass the literacy exam, so they could become registered voters. Jenkins realized that he wanted to educate and reach more people, so he started the Citizenship School on the island's The Progressive Club (listed in 2007 on the National Register of Historic Places ). The Progressive Club was a co-op started in 1948 by Jenkins and other families on Johns Island. Notable individuals participated in workshops including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and many others. The co-op housed a community grocery store, gas station, day care, classroom space and allowed residents to trade goods and services to help each other in times of need. The school was so effective that it served as the model for other citizenship schools established throughout the South to teach adult education, basic literacy and political education classes and workshops, resulting in thousands of citizens becoming registered voters.

paragraph: Jenkins created the Citizens Committee of Charleston and founded the C.O. Federal Credit Union in 1966. This credit union helped to further the economic advancement of the community. Residents were able to secure low-interest loans to purchase homes, businesses, vehicles and even send their children to college.

paragraph: Jenkins was also one of the founders of the Rural Mission. This initiative provided services for migrant and seasonal workers on the island.

paragraph: Before his death in 1972, Jenkins chartered the Sea Island Comprehensive Health Care Corporation. Which provides low-income housing, a nursing home and a comprehensive health care center for the Sea Island residents.

paragraph: Jenkins and his wife owned and operated a fruit and vegetable stand, a fleet of buses, a motel and restaurant in Charleston, SC and also in Atlantic Beach, SC.

paragraph: The story of Esau Jenkins and the Progressive Club will be included in the permanent exhibit titled, “Defining Freedom, Defending Freedom: The era of segregation” in the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Mr. Jenkins was known for his iconic Volkswagen van he personally used for his work in the community and throughout the South. Two panels of his VW van, with his motto: “Love is Progress, Hate is Expensive” will be on display.

paragraph: The Smithsonian, the Jenkins family, and the Preservation Society of Charleston hosted the van artifacts send off to the Smithsonian on June 1, 2014. This event was included in the Piccolo Spoleto Festival and several hundred attended. All local Charleston news outlets covered the story via interviews and articles about the event.

paragraph: Jenkins died on October 30, 1972. His funeral was officiated by the Rev. Ralph Abernathy. After his death many institutions, programs, a bridge and a street were named for him.
