Second Lieutenant Jones was a member of a patrol which succeeded in hedging in a fast enemy bi-place plane. Approaching the enemy plane, Lieutenant Jones signaled the enemy to give up and land. The reply was a burst of machinegun fire, which cut his wind shield and set fire to his plane. He then closed in and shot the German pilot and sent the plane crashing to the ground. He landed in his own plane and extinguished the flames.

paragraph: James Jackson (physician)

paragraph: James Jackson (3 October 1777 in Newburyport, Massachusetts – 27 August 1867 in Boston) was an American physician. He was a proponent of Massachusetts General Hospital and became its first physician.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: He was the son of Newburyport merchant Jonathan Jackson who had been a representative of Massachusetts in the Continental Congress. He graduated from Harvard in 1796, and, after teaching for a year in Leicester Academy, was employed until December 1797 as a clerk for his father, who was then an officer of the government. After studying medicine in Salem for two years, he sailed for London, where he became a “dresser” in St. Thomas's Hospital, and attended lectures there and at Guy's Hospital.

In 1803 he became a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and in 1810 he proposed with John Collins Warren the establishment of a hospital and an asylum for the insane. Somerville Asylum was soon founded, and afterward the Massachusetts General Hospital was begun in Boston, of which he was the first physician until he resigned in 1835. In 1810 he was chosen professor of clinical medicine at Harvard Medical School, and in 1812 professor of theory and practice, which post he held until 1835, and was afterward professor emeritus until his death. Jackson was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1808.

paragraph: Bill Blakeley

paragraph: Billy Buie Blakeley (June 13, 1934 – October 27, 2010), also known as William and Billy, was an American basketball coach at the high school, college, and professional levels.

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.

paragraph: Section::::Coaching career.:Intercollegiate basketball: NCAA Division I.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1975–76 to 1982–83 — Head coach at the University of North Texas Mean Green Basketball

paragraph: BULLET::::- March 18, 1975, the sports media announced that Athletic Director Hayden Fry had named Blakeley as the new Head Coach for Men's Basketball at North Texas. The media reported it 10 days after Gene Robbins had resigned the position.

paragraph: BULLET::::- With an overall 134-85 coaching record, as of 2010, Blakeley holds the third most wins and the fourth highest winning percentage of any men's basketball coach in North Texas history. None of five head coaches who have succeeded him (through 2010) have surpassed his overall winning percentage; though, Johnny Jones, a former head coach, surpassed his overall win record on December 31, 2009, with a win over the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Pete Shands (Henry Gilchrist Shands; b 1899; d 1983), who coached North Texas Men's Basketball from 1935 to 1959, has the most wins with 217 over 22 seasons.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Blakeley also holds the all-time North Texas record for reaching 100 wins the fastest, reaching it in his 6th season (1980–81).

paragraph: BULLET::::- Blakelely coached three consecutive 20-win seasons: 1975–76 (22-4); 1976–77 (21-6); 1977–78 (22-6)

paragraph: BULLET::::- North Texas achieved its first and, as of 2010, only top 20 national ranking. The Associated Press Men's Basketball Poll ranked North Texas 20th on February 3, 1976, and 20th on February 10, 1976.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Blakeley established a tradition of draping a cloth sign on the back of his chair at court-side. During his first season, his sign read DON'T EXPECT MIRACLES. The next year it read MIRACLES NEVER CEASE? Other years it read FULL SPEED AHEAD, Phil 4:13 and UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

paragraph: BULLET::::- When he was hired, he told the media that, to beat North Texas, opponents will have to score at least 90 points. In his first season, he proceeded to turn around a team that was 6-20 in 1975, to 22-4 in 1976, averaging 96 points a game, the second highest in the nation. But the Eagles were invited neither to the NCAA tournament nor the NIT. Frustrated over the politics involved in getting invited to the NCAA Tournament, Blakeley conceded the only concrete argument the NCAA held against North Texas was that six of its games from the 1975–76 season were with teams outside of Division I; so, for the 1976–77 season, Blakeley beefed-up the schedule by dropping all non-Division I teams.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In November 1976, "Sports Illustrated" declared, "The Eagles can fly; there is not a player on the team who can't dunk." "Junior-college transfer Charles McMillian, a 6'3" forward with a 22.5-point average, can perform a 42-inch vertical jump."

paragraph: BULLET::::- As of 2010, four players under Blakeley were among the North Texas Top 20 All-Time career scorers and the "North Texas 1000 Point Club."

paragraph: BULLET::::- In 1991, the NCAA published an article that nationally ranked the top 38 most improved year-over-year team records since 1974 (the first year the history was compiled). Two teams tied for the most improved at 16-1/2 games. The third most improved team, at 16 games, was North Texas during Blakeley's first season (1975–76), finishing with a 22-4 record, verses 6-20 from the previous year. He accomplished his first-year feat with only one player added to the previous year's squad. As of 2010, the 16-game year-over-year improvement stands as a North Texas record dating back to the 1957–58 season. Blakeley also holds the biggest drop in year-over-year season wins of minus 11 games: his fourth season (1978–79) with a record of 11-16.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Blakeley hired Jimmy Gales, who served as assistant coach from 1975–76 to 1982–83 and kept Billy Tubbs, who had been an assistant coach at North Texas since the 1973–74 season. After his first season coaching with Blakeley, Tubbs won the head coaching job at Lamar University (1976–77 year). Blakeley hired Jim Moffitt in March 1976 to replace Tubbs. Gales went on to serve as the head coach of Mean Green basketball for seven seasons: 1986–87 to 1992–93. Gales' teams won a total of 84 games during his tenure as head coach, a total that ranks third-best in school history (as of 2010). Gales led the Mean Green men's team to its first ever NCAA Tournament in 1988. As of 2010, the Mean Green since advanced twice to the NCAA Tournament in 2007 and 2010, both under Head Coach Johnny Jones. Gales, like Blakeley, was induced into the North Texas Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Blakeley and Gales might own the distinction of being the only North Texas Hall of Famers who were also fired by North Texas.

paragraph: BULLET::::- As an independent under Blakeley, North Texas had no conference tournament that entitled a winner an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships. North Texas had difficulty scheduling games with conference schools that did, including teams from the Southwest Conference, particularly nearby rival SMU, which, separated by 35 miles, offered strong attendance possibilities on a home-and-home basis. In 1976, Ken Wilson, then a sports writer for the "Denton Record-Chronicle", surveyed schools from the Southwest, Big 8, Big Ten, and Southeastern Conferences and major independents. Most schools were not interested in scheduling North Texas basketball. They, according to Wilson, wanted giveaway games. North Texas, for the 1976 and 1977 seasons, was not a giveaway school. Wilson also inferred that SMU and TCU felt that they would gain little by beating North Texas, but might suffer in recruiting if they lost.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In the spring of 1977, a time when North Texas was vying for membership in the Southwest Conference, then SMU Coach Sonny Allen, expressed disinterest in scheduling North Texas, killing the basketball home-and-home series.

paragraph: BULLET::::- SMU was also grappling with the likelihood of losing to a strong North Texas Football team coached by Hayden Fry, who SMU had fired and North Texas had hired in December 1972. After two close encounters with the Mean Green (7-6 in 1974 and 38-31 in 1976), SMU lost 24-13 in 1977, ending a 45-year drought. SMU Football Coach Ron Meyer told the press after that game, "Their athletic program, at least in football and basketball, can compare with anyone in the country." "I haven’t really considered North Texas being in the [Southwest] conference, because I don’t have a vote", Meyer continued, "but I would be concerned with having only three non-conference games." Fry had resumed the football series with SMU in 1974. Until then, the teams had not met since 1942.

paragraph: Ogyū Sorai

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Sorai was born the second son of a samurai who served as the personal physician of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who would become the fifth shōgun. Sorai studied the Zhu Xi version of Song Confucianism, and by 1690 he became a private teacher of Chinese classics. He went into the service of Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, a senior councillor to Tsunayoshi, in 1696. He left in 1709 after the death of Tsunayoshi and would turn away from the teachings of Zhu Xi to develop his own philosophy and school. He is credited with the creation of kō shōgi, an unusual form of chess.

paragraph: Section::::Teachings.

paragraph: Sorai would write several influential works. In them he identified two fundamental weaknesses in the philosophy of Song Confucianism. The first was in the bakufu-domain system, which by the eighteenth century was in trouble. As a result, he doubted whether the reliance on finding an individual's ethical good was sufficient. As such he argued that the political crisis of the time required more than perfecting moral character. Moreover, he saw the ancient Chinese sage-kings as concerned not only with morality but also with government itself. His second disagreement with Song Confucianism was that he felt putting too much emphasis on morality repressed human nature, which was based on human emotion.

paragraph: However, these weaknesses he felt stemmed not from a deficiency in Confucianism itself, but rather from a misreading of classic works of the Four Books and the Five Classics by Song Confucianists, which he insisted "did not know the old words." Sorai went back to the ancient works for more reliable knowledge, stating "The ultimate form of scholarly knowledge is history." To him, these historical works were the ultimate source, even for an ever-changing present. Sorai thought that study of philosophy began with the study of language. In this he was highly influenced by the Ancient Rhetoric school of the Ming period, which was a neoclassical movement that saw the Qin and Han periods as the model for prose, and the Tang period for poetry. The Sorai school introduced "Selections of Tang Poetry", a work thought to have been edited by Li Panlong (李攀竜 1514-70), a founder of the Ancient Rhetoric school, to Japan, where it became very popular. As a result, his school is today sometimes also known as the Ancient Rhetoric ("kobunji" 古文辞) school. However it differed in that he saw it mostly as a means of accessing the Five Classics. He would also accuse other Confucianists in Japan, such as Hayashi Razan, of relying too heavily on Song sources such as Zhu Xi.

paragraph: Sorai further differed from the Song Confucian viewpoints in other aspects. One was that the "Way" was not a predetermined principle of the universe, but rather an establishment of men, of the ancient sages who described it in the Confucianist classic works. These works provided for the Way, which was divided by rites ("rei" 礼) and music ("gaku" 楽). The former gave social order, while the latter was inspiration for the heart. In this it directly allowed for the flow of human emotions, something denied by the moralist philosophy of Song Confucianism. Sorai argued for the opposite, allowing one to be enriched through music and poetry. As a result of his teachings in putting emphasis on literature as a fundamental form of human expression, Chinese writing would begin to thrive in Japan, becoming an accepted artistic pursuit. His school would thus produce several such great writers of Chinese composition at that time.

paragraph: Sorai was furthermore a supporter of the samurai class. Institutions that were once under great leadership will later decline and more able men will be less likely to come to power. The samurai, he felt, were best able to overcome this through a system of rewards and punishment. He also saw problems with the merchant class at the time, which he accused of conspiring to fix prices. He was not, however, a great supporter of the lower classes. He argued, "What possible value can there be for the common people to overreach their proper station in life and study such books [as the Confucian classics]?"

paragraph: Some later scholars criticised his work and found his teaching to be impractical. Goi Ranshū believed that Sorai was motivated to surpass Itō Jinsai, another Confucianist who had influenced him a great deal, and that Sorai took his arguments to the level of abursdity for this reason. Had any of his teachings actually been implemented, Goi felt it would have caused extensive damage to moral philosophy. Another later scholar critical of Ogyū's teachings was Nakai Chikuzan, who was also familiar with Goi's opposition to Ogyū Sorai. Goi wrote his opposition to Sorai in his essay "Hi-Butsu hen", which was written in the 1730s, but not published until 1766 having been edited by Chikuzan and his brother. Nakai later wrote his own, highly emotional, rebuttal to Ogyū's beliefs in his work "Hi-Chō" (1785), wherein he rejected the idea that individuals could not better themselves through moral choices. Moreover, he claimed individuals were able judge whether external ideas and actions as true or just. Denial of these morals, he felt, would leave only "rites and rules" to be followed.

paragraph: Section::::Teachings.:"Master Sorai's Teachings".

paragraph: "Master Sorai's Teachings" is a record of his teaching and exchanges with his students. The text was edited by his own students and contained their questions followed by his answers to them. The work was not released until 1724, but is thought to have actually taken place around 1720. In it he reinforces that literature is not so much intended for the purposes of instruction in morality or governance, but rather it simply allows for the flow of human emotions. From this, answers on the former topics may be found, he argued. While Ogyu sought to redefine the sources of Tokugawa legitimacy, his purpose was clearly to strengthen the authority of the Tokugawa shogunate.

paragraph: Harl Pease

paragraph: Harl Pease, Jr., (April 10, 1917 – October 8, 1942) was a United States Army Air Corps officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest award, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during World War II. He was the namesake for Pease Air Force Base, now Pease Air National Guard Base.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Harl Pease, born and raised in Plymouth, New Hampshire, enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1939 after graduating from the University of New Hampshire the same year with a degree in business administration and becoming a brother of Theta Chi Fraternity.

paragraph: He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in June 1940 and awarded pilot rating upon completion of flight training at Kelly Field, Texas. Pease was assigned to the 19th Bomb Group as a B-17 pilot at Albuquerque Army Air Base, and in October 1941 flew with the group to Clark Field in the Philippines. As part of the Far East Air Force, Pease was present at Clark Field when it was bombed by Japanese aircraft on December 8, 1941, flew missions in defense of the Philippines, and evacuated with the group to Darwin, Northern Territory, on December 20, 1941. Pease continued to fly missions with the group in defense of Java until the end of February 1942.

paragraph: As the Japanese advanced in the Philippines, Pease was ordered to lead three B-17s of the 19th BG to Del Monte Field on Mindanao to evacuate General Douglas MacArthur, along with the general's family and staff, to Australia. One of the battered planes was forced to abort early, while another developed engine trouble and crashed south of Del Monte. Pease landed his Fortress safely, despite its inoperative wheel brakes. MacArthur was shocked at the sight of Pease's aircraft, upon which the ground crews of the undersupplied 19th had used cut-up ration cans to patch bullet holes, as well as Pease himself, whom MacArthur described as a "child". MacArthur flatly refused to place his wife and son aboard Pease's B-17 and instead waited for another plane to arrive two days later.

paragraph: In May, from a base near Townsville, Queensland, the 19th BG supported naval carrier aircraft in the Battle of the Coral Sea, and bombed targets on the north coast of New Guinea, 16–18 hour missions that necessitated staging through Port Moresby. During the first six months of the war, the 19th was awarded four Distinguished Unit Citations.

paragraph: On August 6, 1942, one engine of Pease's B-17 failed during a mission, forcing a return to its base at Mareeba Airfield for repairs. The 19th BG had already scheduled a "maximum effort" mission against Rabaul, New Britain, on August 7 but Pease and his crew, with their aircraft out of commission, were not scheduled. Pease understood the importance of the mission and was determined to rejoin the group. Only one B-17 at Mareeba was able to fly, a "war-weary" bomber relegated to training. Its engines needed an overhaul, some armament had been dismounted, and the electric fuel-transfer pump had been used for replacement parts. Pease had a fuel tank installed in the bomb bay, with a handpump rigged to transfer fuel, and in less than three hours, was en route to Port Moresby with his crew, all of whom had also volunteered for the mission. They landed at 1:00 am after working or flying almost continuously since 6:00 am the previous day.

paragraph: With only three hours' crew rest, Pease took off with the group to attack Rabaul's Vunakanau airdrome. Forty to fifty miles from the target, the group was attacked by more than 30 Japanese fighters. Pease and his crew claimed several of the fighters, fought their way to the target, and bombed successfully, but sustained heavy damage in the attacks.

paragraph: After leaving the target area, Pease's crippled B-17 fell behind the rest of the formation. Once again attacked by fighters, he was seen to jettison the burning bomb bay fuel tank before falling back out of sight. Pease and his crew were presumed killed in action. Before the B-17 crashed, however, Pease and another crew member were able to bail out; both were captured and taken to a POW camp in Rabaul. Pease languished there until October 8, 1942. On that date, Pease, three other Americans, and two Australians were forced to dig their own grave, then were beheaded. Postwar the remains of three of Pease Crew were found and identified; however the remains of Pease and those killed with him were not recovered.

paragraph: On December 2, 1942, the Medal of Honor, awarded posthumously to Pease, was presented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to his parents. The recommendation for the award had been issued by Major General George Kenney, with an endorsement General MacArthur had personally written when Kenney notified him of Pease's death.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Pease, Harl, Jr.

paragraph: (Air Mission)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Citation:

paragraph: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy on 6–7 August 1942. When 1 engine of the bombardment airplane of which he was pilot failed during a bombing mission over New Guinea, Capt. Pease was forced to return to a base in Australia. Knowing that all available airplanes of his group were to participate the next day in an attack on an enemy-held airdrome near Rabaul, New Britain, although he was not scheduled to take part in this mission, Capt. Pease selected the most serviceable airplane at this base and prepared it for combat, knowing that it had been found and declared unserviceable for combat missions. With the members of his combat crew, who volunteered to accompany him, he rejoined his squadron at Port Moresby, New Guinea, at 1 a.m. on 7 August, after having flown almost continuously since early the preceding morning. With only 3 hours' rest, he took off with his squadron for the attack. Throughout the long flight to Rabaul, New Britain, he managed by skillful flying of his unserviceable airplane to maintain his position in the group. When the formation was intercepted by about 30 enemy fighter airplanes before reaching the target, Capt. Pease, on the wing which bore the brunt of the hostile attack, by gallant action and the accurate shooting by his crew, succeeded in destroying several Zeros before dropping his bombs on the hostile base as planned, this in spite of continuous enemy attacks. The fight with the enemy pursuit lasted 25 minutes until the group dived into cloud cover. After leaving the target, Capt. Pease's aircraft fell behind the balance of the group due to unknown difficulties as a result of the combat, and was unable to reach this cover before the enemy pursuit succeeded in igniting 1 of his bomb bay tanks. He was seen to drop the flaming tank. It is believed that Capt. Pease's airplane and crew were subsequently shot down in flames, as they did not return to their base. In voluntarily performing this mission Capt. Pease contributed materially to the success of the group, and displayed high devotion to duty, valor, and complete contempt for personal danger. His undaunted bravery has been a great inspiration to the officers and men of his unit.

paragraph: Abu'l-Fawaris Ahmad ibn Ali

paragraph: Abu'l-Fawaris Ahmad ibn Ali ibn al-Ikhshid () was the last monarch of the autonomous Ikhshidid dynasty, which ruled Egypt, Syria and the Hejaz, from 968 to 969. However, he was a child and did not exercise actual rule, being instead under the tutelage first of the vizier Ja'far ibn al-Furat and then of his uncle al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj. His reign ended with the conquest of Egypt by the Fatimids in summer 969.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Ahmad was the son of the third Ikhshidid ruler, Abu'l-Hasan Ali ibn al-Ikhshid, and grandson of the dynasty's founder, Muhammad ibn Tughj al-Ikhshid. When his father Ali died in January 966, he was only ten; consequently, the powerful Abu'l-Misk Kafur, who had long been the virtual ruler of the state, assumed the reins of power himself.

paragraph: Ahmad succeeded to the throne after Kafur's death in April 968, but the situation in Egypt was critical: the vizier Ja'far ibn al-Furat tried to control the government, but lacked a power-base outside the bureaucracy; Fatimid agents stirred up trouble among the Bedouin; the army was divided into mutually antagonistic factions (the "Ikhshidiyya", recruited by Muhammad al-Ikhshid, the "Kafuriyya", recruited by Kafur, and the "Saqaliba" or "Rum", European/Byzantine slave-soldiers); and the treasury was empty due to a series of low Nile floods that had caused famine. In the end, Ibn al-Furat was overthrown by Ahmad's uncle, al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj, governor of Palestine. Hasan seized control of Fustat in autumn 968, and installed himself as regent. On the coinage minted during this period, Hasan's name even preceded that of Ahmad, the nominal ruler. However, after only three months, Hasan released Ibn al-Jafar, entrusted him with the governance of Egypt, and returned to Palestine.

paragraph: Soon after, the Fatimids, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Ikhshidid regime, launched an invasion under Jawhar al-Siqilli. By June 969, the Fatimid army stood before Fustat. After the Ikhshidid troops failed in a last-ditch effort to stop the Fatimids, the city, and Egypt with it, surrendered. Hasan was taken prisoner, thus ending the Ikhshidid dynasty, although the last Ikhshidid loyalists under his uncle remained in control of the southern part of Syria until in turn defeated by the Fatimids in spring 970. According to the historian al-Farghani, relayed by Ibn Khallikan, Ahmad died on 13 July 987.

paragraph: Abu'l-Hasan Ali ibn al-Ikhshid

paragraph: Abu'l-Hasan Ali ibn al-Ikhshid () was the third ruler of the autonomous Ikhshidid dynasty, which ruled Egypt, Syria and the Hejaz for Abbasid Caliphate.

paragraph: He was a younger son of the dynasty's founder, Muhammad ibn Tughj al-Ikhshid, and reigned from the death of his elder brother Unujur in 961. Actual power throughout his reign was held by the capable black eunuch Abu'l-Misk Kafur. The main events of his reign were a Nubian invasion in 963, as well as a resurgence of Bedouin unrest and raids both in the Western Desert and in the Syrian Desert, in the latter case accompanied by the reappearance of the Qarmatians. Anti-Christian riots were provoked by a defeat of the Ikhshidid fleet against the Byzantine navy in 960/963, as well as the Byzantine offensives under Nikephoros Phokas in Cilicia and northern Syria.

paragraph: After Ali's death in January 966, Kafur sidelined Ali's underage son Ahmad and became ruler in his own right. Kafur ruled until his death in 968, when Ahmad succeeded him. The Ikhshidid state was weakened by internal turmoil and a succession of bad harvests, however, leading to its fall to the Fatimids in 969.

paragraph: Anders Johan Malmgren

paragraph: Anders Johan Malmgren (born November 21, 1834 in Kajaani, died April 14, 1897 in Helsinki) was a Finnish zoologist and government official.

paragraph: Malmgren was a student in Helsinki in 1854, Master primus 1860, PhD 1864, Acting Commissioner of the fisheries in 1865, extraordinary professor of zoology at the University of Helsinki in 1869, Fishery Commissioner in 1877 and governor of the province of Oulu in 1889.

paragraph: Malmgren undertook several scientific expeditions, especially in the northern latitudes, to the White Sea (1856) and to Spitsbergen and Finnmark as a participant in the first three Swedish expeditions (1861, 1864 and 1868). His most important scientific work involving the boreal region's fauna and flora; These include "Kritisk öfversigt af Finlands fiskfauna" (1863), "Anteckningar om Spetsbergens fågelfauna" (1863–64), "Iakttagelser och anteckningar till Finnmarkens och Spetsbergens däggdjursfauna" (1865) and "Bidrag till Finnmarkens fiskfauna" (1867). His most important works - the fruit of his Nordic research trips - is his work on "Nordiska hafsannulaterna" (1865) and "Om Spetsbergens, Grönlands, Islands och Skandinaviska halföns hittills kända Annulata polychaeta" (1867).

paragraph: As fishery commissioner Malmgren undertook many significant operations. The years 1869-70 he published "Handlingar och förordningar angående Finlands fiskerier" ("Collection of Documents and regulations concerning Finnish fisheries") as five booklets, and later, a sixth, and in 1869 he began to publish "Tidskrift för fiskerinäring och agrikultur" ("Journal of the fishing industry and agriculture"), but soon ceased due to lack of interest. Moreover, he worked eagerly for the enhancement of fisheries and fish, especially for Salmonidae, protection and stocking of valuable fish types in Finnish waters and for basic fishery associations. He was hired by the government often for special committees (including the school committee in 1879).

paragraph: At the time of his death in 1897, Malmgren was one of the twenty foreign members of the British Ornithologists' Union.

paragraph: Dave Palitz

paragraph: Dave Palitz (January 1, 1891 – November 17, 1940) was a Welterweight boxer who competed for the Connecticut Welterweight Championship against Lou Bogash on April 26, 1920 at Casino Hall in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Though he lost the 12 round bout, Palitz was an exceptional boxer in his own right. He fought Jeff Doherty, Bunny Ford, Terry Mitchell, and Jack Britton. Doherty and Ford were regional lightweight champions while Mitchell was a boxer of such caliber that he once defeated 1906 World Welterweight Champion William "Honey" Melody. Britton held the World Welterweight championship for over four years during Palitz's career.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Palitz grew up in the Heights section of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and worked in his youth as a newsie delivering newspapers. He served in the U. S. Army for three years, where he learned the boxing trade, and fought his earliest professional bout with a Soldier Ferguson. During his early professional boxing career he moved to New London, Connecticut. Palitz was of Jewish ancestry according to the Hank Kaplan archives.

paragraph: Section::::Boxing career.

paragraph: Palitz began his more competitive boxing career by early 1911 fighting Young Ferguson twice in New London, defeating him in a fourth round knockout in their first meeting in New London in January 1911.

paragraph: Bunny Ford, who Palitz defeated three times in ten round matches between 1913–14 in Connecticut, was a noted regional lightweight. Ford competed for the New England Lightweight Title in 1909 against Jack Doherty, and officially for the Connecticut State Lightweight Title against Battling Kunz on November 27, 1916, losing in an eight round TKO in New Haven.

paragraph: In November and December 1912, he fought two ten round bouts with Brooklyn welterweight Terry Mitchell, at Lawrence Hall in New London, Connecticut, where at least one source considered him to have the edge in both close no decision bouts. Mitchell was a welterweight of the caliber to have boxed Jack Britton, Welterweight champion William "Honey" Mellody, and Bunny Ford.

paragraph: In March 1915, Palitz received a rare knockout from Dave Powers of Malden, Massachusetts. This defeat did not affect the long term boxing aspirations of Palitz, who may have learned from it, as he faced far more skilled opponents in the coming years.

paragraph: On September 6, 1915, Palitz fought Abe Hollandersky in Aborn Hall in New London, in a dominating twenty round victory. New London's "The Day" gave only one round to Hollandersky in their newspaper decision. Palitz fought New London welterweight Hollandersky four times in paid bouts, and several more times in exhibitions.

paragraph: In 1916 Palitz worked for a period at the Marlin Fire Arms Company in New London along with frequent opponent and lightweight champion Bunny Ford.

paragraph: Easily one of the greatest fighters Palitz met was welterweight champion Jack Britton to whom he lost on March 8, 1920 in a ten round newspaper decision in Hartford, Connecticut. Britton held the World Welterweight title three times in 1915, 1916, and from 1919-1922 and held it at the time of his bout with Palitz. Palitz's bout with Britton came as a warm up for his attempt at the Connecticut State Welterweight title.

paragraph: One of Palitz's most publicized fights was his losing bout with World Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Lou Bogash for the Connecticut Welterweight State Title in April 1920. It is worth noting that Bogash was at the top of his career during the bout, at a youthful 19 years of age, while Palitz was nearly 30, old for a boxer, and nearing the end of his more competitive career.

paragraph: Section::::Later boxing career.

paragraph: On November 16, 1922, Palitz lost to Mike Morley in a close twelve round bout. Morley was a competent regional welterweight who had lost the New England Welterweight Title in ten rounds to Eddie Shevlin on November 15, 1921, in Boston Massachusetts. One year later in Hartford, in December 1922, Palitz won a ten round bout with Young Marcel, a relative unknown. A local newspaper that covered the bout noted that Palitz's career had begun to wain since his loss to Lou Bogash for the Connecticut Welterweight championship in April 1920.

paragraph: On April 16, 1932 a committee announced that a live bout boxing benefit would be held in New London for "invalid" Dave Palitz. Palitz died at the age of forty-nine.

paragraph: She was born in Manchester, England, as Phyllis Partington; her father was John Herbert Evelyn Partington, a well-known painter, and her mother was Sarah Ann Partington (née Mottershead). Several of her siblings were in the arts, including her sisters Blanche, a writer, and Gertrude, an artist. The family emigrated to California when she was a child.

paragraph: In 1911 she was appearing in a comic opera in New York's Globe Theatre when the star, Marguerite Sylva, fell ill, and Peralta (who was still using her birth name at this time) was given the opportunity to sing the lead. She apparently did well enough for the manager to alternate the two sopranos in the lead role for the remainder of the run. In 1913 she returned to Europe and studied with Salvatore Cottone and José Mardones. By now she was using the name Phyllis Peralta.

paragraph: After some appearances in touring performances in the United States, Peralta (now using the name Francesca Peralta) sang Aida and Nedda in St. Louis in productions of "Aida" and "Pagliacci". She sang briefly with the Chicago Opera Association, and in 1920 made her first appearance at the New York Metropolitan Opera as Elena in Arrigo Boito's "Mefistofele", on Christmas Day, the day after Enrico Caruso's last performance there. She sang regularly at the Met until 1926, portraying such roles as Alice Ford in "Falstaff", Dorabella in "Così fan tutte", Elizabeth in "Don Carlo", Ginevra in "'La cena delle beffe" and "Mona Lisa", Giulietta in "The Tales of Hoffmann", Leonora in "Il trovatore" and "La Forza del Destino", Maddalena in "Andrea Chénier", Mathilde in "William Tell", Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana", Sélika in "L'Africaine", Venus in "Tannhäuser", and the title roles in "Aida", "La Gioconda", Franco Leoni's "L'Oracolo", and "Tosca" among others.

paragraph: Peralta was diagnosed with cancer in early 1927, and only occasionally appeared at the Met thereafter. Her last stage appearance appears to have been at Bryant Park in Manhattan on 13 September 1931. She died at her home on West 58th Street on 22 December 1933.

paragraph: Armanda Degli Abbati

paragraph: Armanda Degli Abbati, also known as Armanda Degli Abbati Campodonico, (10 January 1879 – 1946) was an Italian opera singer who sang leading mezzo-soprano roles in the opera houses of Italy, South America, and Russia. In 1926 she settled in Estonia where she became a noted vocal pedagogue and trained a generation of Estonian opera singers. She was deported from Estonia during the Soviet occupation in World War II and is presumed to have died in a prison camp in Karaganda.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Degli Abbati was born in Rome and studied music there. One of her earliest appearances was as a soloist in a concert of Palestrina's music, at the Accademia Filarmonica Romana in December 1894. In January 1896 she created the role of Madeleine in the premiere of Dario De Rossi's opera "Fadette" at the Teatro Nazionale in Rome. Later that year, she appeared at the Teatro Mercadante in Naples, reprising the role of Madeleine and creating the role of Mara Nastagia in the premiere of Gaetano Luporini's "La Collana di Pasqua". She appeared as Ortrud in "Lohengrin" at Rome's Teatro Costanzi in 1897 and 1898 and also appeared there in 1898 as Kaled in Massenet's "Le roi de Lahore" and as Urbain in Meyerbeer's "Les Huguenots". She was subsequently engaged by La Scala for its 1898–1899 season where her roles included Meg Page in Verdi's "Falstaff" as well as reprisals of Kaled and Urbain.

paragraph: Outside Italy Degli Abbati appeared with touring Italian opera companies in South America where her performances included Amneris in "Aida" at the Teatro Lyrico in Rio de Janeiro in 1899 and both Brangäne in "Tristan und Isolde" and Tescheretta in Ettore Panizza's "Il Medio Evo Latino" at the Teatro de la Opera in Buenos Aires in 1901. She also performed in Imperial Russia at various times between 1900 and 1902 and particularly at the Municipal Theatre in Odessa. Vladimir Jabotinsky wrote about some of her 1901 performances in Odessa for the "Odesskie Novosti" and had met her through his friend, the young revolutionary Vsevolod Lebedintsev. Jabotinsky later wrote in his memoirs that Lebedintsev "divided his time and his enthusiasm among his three ideals: the study of astronomy at the university, evenings at the Italian opera, and also love-making with the young singer Armanda degli Abbati."

paragraph: The years between 1902 and 1904 saw the assumption of several major roles for Degli Abbati. She sang Cristina in "Il voto" and the title roles in "Fedora" and "Carmen" at the Teatro Bellini in Naples in 1902, Gertrude in "Hamlet" at the Teatro Adriano in Rome in 1903, and Princess de Bouillon in "Adriana Lecouvreur" at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo in 1904. Her marriage in Rome to Attilio Campodonico and her intention to retire from the operatic stage were announced in "Musica e musicisti" in 1904. After her marriage she appeared in the occasional concert and gave voice lessons in Genoa from her studio in Piazza Giustiniani. In the 1920s, she taught singing in Rome and was a member of the Circulo russo (Russian Circle) there. She briefly came out of retirement in July 1921 to sing the title role in the premiere of Francesco Marcacci's opera "Nadeida" at the Teatro Adriano.

paragraph: In 1926 the Estonian tenor Karel Ots, who had been one of her students in Rome, persuaded the Estonian Ministry of Education to invite Degli Abbati to Tallinn to teach singing. She decided to settle there permanently and opened her own studio where she trained a whole generation of Estonian opera singers. She organized concert performances featuring her students and also composed several art songs for them to sing at the concerts. With the Soviet occupation of Estonia, she was arrested as an enemy alien in 1941 and deported to a prison camp in Karaganda in what is now Kazakhstan. She is presumed to have died there in 1946. Her last communication was a letter she sent to one of her students in Estonia dated 27 August 1946.

paragraph: Bentinck was the second, but eldest surviving, son of William Bentinck, 1st Earl of Portland, and Anne "née" Villiers. His mother was from the prominent Villiers family, the eldest daughter of Sir Edward Villiers and sister of Edward Villiers, 1st Earl of Jersey.

paragraph: As a youth, Bentinck did the Grand Tour around Europe, travelling through Italy and Germany with the company of Paul de Rapin. On 9 June 1704, he married Lady Elizabeth Noel, daughter of Wriothesley Baptist Noel, 2nd Earl of Gainsborough and Catherine Greville at Chiswick. They had seven children:

In 1719 he was one of main subscribers in the Royal Academy of Music (1719), a corporation that produced baroque opera on stage.

paragraph: Rod Pampling

paragraph: Rodney Pampling (born 23 September 1969) is an Australian professional golfer.

paragraph: Section::::Golf career.

paragraph: Pampling was born in Redcliffe, Queensland. He turned professional in 1994. He began his tournament golf career on the PGA Tour of Australasia, where he won the 1999 Canon Challenge, and also spent time on the NGA Hooters Tour, a developmental tour in the United States. In 2000 and 2001 he played on the PGA Tour's official developmental tour, the Buy.com Tour, now called the Web.com Tour, and did well enough in his second season to gain promotion to the full PGA Tour.

paragraph: In 1999, Pampling shot a 71 at Carnoustie during the opening round of the Open Championship, leading the field. However, he shot an 86 in the second round to miss the cut.

paragraph: He achieved his first PGA Tour win at The International in 2004 and his second at the 2006 Bay Hill Invitational, which took him into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings. He continues to play a few events in his home country each year during the northern hemisphere winter. He won the Sportsbet Australian Masters at Huntingdale Golf Club, Melbourne in November 2008, beating Marcus Fraser in a 3-hole playoff after the two players tied at a 12-under par 276. As a European Tour co-sanctioned event, that win also earned him a two-year exemption on that tour.

paragraph: After a rough 2010, Pampling played the 2011 season with limited status as a past champion and through sponsor invites. He received a limetime invitation to the AT&T National from tournament director Greg McLaughlin after personally trying to thank each tournament director that gave him a sponsor exemption during the 2011 season. Pampling clawed his way to 124th on the PGA Tour, regaining his Tour card by just over $2,000. Pampling finished the 2012 season 127th on the money list, just missing a PGA Tour card by two spots and $26,617. From 2013 to 2015, Pampling alternated between the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour.

paragraph: Pampling won the Web.com Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am in 2015 and regained his PGA Tour card through the Web.com Tour Finals in 2015 and 2016. He earned his first PGA Tour win in ten years at the 2016 Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. A clerical error allowed Pampling and eleven other golfers entry into the field, increasing the field from 132 to 144.
