paragraph: Emilius Bayley

paragraph: Reverend Sir John Robert Laurie Emilius Bayley, 3rd Baronet (16 May 1823 – 4 December 1917), later Reverend Sir John Laurie, was an English clergyman, baronet and amateur cricketer. He was generally known by his middle-name Emilius and changed his surname to Laurie in 1887.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Bayley was born in Bloomsbury in London in May 1823, the son of lawyer Sir John Bayley, 2nd Baronet and his first wife Charlotte. He is thought to have been given the name Emilius, by which he was generally known, after the name of one of his father's horses which won The Derby in 1823. His grandfather, Sir John Bayley, 1st Baronet, had the Bayley Baronetcy of Bedford Square created for him in 1834. This became known as the Laurie baronetcy after 1887.

paragraph: Bayley was educated at Eton college where he was in the cricket team for four years and captain in 1840 and 1841. He set a record for the highest score in the Eton v Harrow match, scoring 152 at Lord's in 1841, a record which stood until 1904. He went up to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1846, studying Divinity, completing his Bachelor of Divinity in 1862.

paragraph: Section::::Cricketing career.

paragraph: He did not play cricket for the University team, but did appear for MCC, of which his father was president in 1844, in 1842 against the university. He appeared nine times for Kent County Cricket Club between 1842 and 1844, first playing for the team before its foundation at the 1842 Canterbury Cricket Week. In total Bayley played in 29 first-class cricket matches, appearing 12 times for MCC and six for the Gentlemen of Kent as well as once for an England team. His career as a churchman cut short his serious cricket career.

paragraph: Bayley's younger brother, Lyttleton Bayley, also captained Eton at cricket and played for Kent.

paragraph: Section::::Churchman and baronet.

paragraph: After being ordained as a deacon at Oxford in 1846 and a priest in 1847, Bayley became the vicar of North Wheatley in Nottinghamshire from 1847–49. He was a perpetual curate at Woburn, Bedfordshire 1853–56, of St George's church in Bloomsbury 1856–67 and of St John's church in Paddington 1867–88. He married Marianne Rice, the daughter of Edward Royd Rice, in 1855. The couple had five children, with two inheriting the Baronetcy.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Arthur Emilius Laurie (1866–1874)

paragraph: Bayley succeeded to the Baronetcy in 1871 on the death of his father, becoming the 3rd Baronet Bayley. In 1886, he inherited Maxwelton House at Moniaive, Dumfriesshire through his mother's line. His great-uncle Admiral Sir Robert Laurie had died without an heir and the house had passed to Bayley's uncle John Minet Fector who had died in 1868 without an heir. As a condition of Robert Laurie's will, Bayley changed his surname to Laurie in February 1887.

paragraph: Bayley died in 1917 at Maxwelton at the age of 94. At the time he was believed by Wisden to be the oldest living cricketer "of any note in England".

paragraph: Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz

paragraph: Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz (19 June 1718 – 16 February 1788) was a Prussian major general of the infantry and was especially honored by Frederick II for his action in the Battle of Torgau. His decisive leadership at Torgau, in which he snatched victory from defeat, was credited at the time and subsequently with saving the Prussian state. Frederick acknowledged his action with the post-war gift of vast estates near Kunersdorf.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: The Lestwitz's were an old Silesian family, dating to the 14th century with Hannes, a free man who served the Duke of Silesia. Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz was born on 19 June 1718 in Kontoppe, Duchy of Glogau, part of the Brandenburg Neumark. His father, Johann Georg von Lestwitz, was a lieutenant general in the Prussian Army and his mother, Helen, was Baroness von Kottwitz. As a youth, Lestwitz studied at the University of Frankfurt. Lestwitz's military career emulated that of the sons of other "Junkers". Many of the "Junkers" owned immense estates, especially in the north-eastern part of Prussia (i.e. the provinces of Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia, West Prussia, East Prussia and Posen). Their younger sons frequently followed careers as soldiers, starting as "Fahnenjunker" and accepting commissions in various branches of the military. With so many family members pursuing profitable careers in the military, the "Junkers" became heavily invested in the success of the Prussian state.

paragraph: Lestwitz married Catharina Charlotte von Tresckow (1734–1789), and they had one daughter, Helene Charlotte (1754–1803). Charlotte married at the age of 16, but the marriage was later annulled. Based on his successful career in the army, especially during the latter years of the Seven Years' War, Lestwitz was able to invest in property, eventually acquiring substantial holdings near Friedland, both via purchase and gifts from his grateful king. The property, referred to as "Old Friedland", included six farms, several sheep and cow herds and a mill, plus assorted fishing communities. Fishing employed a third of the population until the end of the century. Eventually his daughter inherited the estates. She drained much of the marshland, creating a more profitable environment. Charlotte, known by decree of Frederick William II as the Lady of Friedland, was widely considered to be a successful agriculturalist, albeit a "very strange woman."

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: Lestwitz began his military career in 1734 as a "Fahnenjunker" in the infantry regiment of Kurt Christoph von Schwerin in Frankfurt on the Oder. In the First and Second Silesian Wars, Lestwitz participated in some of the most hotly contested battles: Mollwitz, Chotusitz, Hohenfriedberg, and Soor. In the Seven Years War, after the Battle of Lobositz (1 October 1756), he received the Order Pour le Mérite.

paragraph: In 1757, Lestwitz's father, Johann Georg von Lestwitz, failed to defend the Breslau fortress from the Austrian-French force, damaging the family's reputation. The population of Breslau supported the Austrians and made the Prussians’ defense difficult. Breslau’s citizens pressured Lestwitz to vacate the fortress and aided any Prussian deserters. Lestwitz senior surrendered on the night of 25 November on condition of being allowed to withdraw unhindered. Out of 4,227 Prussian soldiers, only 599 of them began the march to Glogau; the rest deserted. The loss of Breslau required Frederick to march cross-country from Rossbach where, earlier in November, he had won a decisive engagement against the Imperial and French forces. In 12 days, Frederick's army covered the to Leuthen, a half day's march from Breslau, where he engaged a superior Imperial force. Following his victory there, Frederick laid siege to Breslau, which surrendered a week later.

paragraph: Despite his father's failure at Breslau, young Lestwitz maintained Frederick's approval and his actions at the exhausting Battle of Torgau helped to reestablish the family in the eyes of the King. In 1760, now a major, Lestwitz the younger in the infantry regiment "Alt-Braunschweig", helped to snatch victory from defeat. The King had been was injured by grapeshot; the assault on the Austrian line had failed. Prussian troops, scattered throughout the battlefield, seemed incapable of mounting a coherent assault on the Austrian line. Believing all was lost, Frederick had handed command to Lieutenant General Johann Dietrich von Hülsen and started to leave the battlefield. The fighting raged through the night and around dawn, Lestwitz collected scattered troops, organized them into three battalions and led them in a new attack. Lestwitz's action gave decisive support to a concurrent attack of Hans Joachim von Zieten's Hussar Regiment. The additional support changed the tide of battle.

paragraph: Upon the death of the childless Charles Frederick Albert, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1762, his estate reverted to the crown. After the Treaty of Hubertusburg, Frederick II granted these fortunes to the two officers for whom he had particular personal gratitude: Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz received the estate of ; and Joachim Bernhard von Prittwitz, who had escorted the king to safety from the battlefield at the Kunersdorf, received the estate at Quilitz (present-day Kwielice). Theodor Fontane gave this circumstance a special mention, writing: ""Lestwitz a sauvé l'etat, Prittwitz a sauvé le roi."" (Lestwitz saved the state, Prittwitz saved the king.") The staff officers of the Lestwitz regiment received a golden medal.

paragraph: In 1765, Lestwitz was appointed colonel, and in 1766 he was appointed Inhaber of the Life Grenadier Regiment. At the outbreak of the War of Bavarian Succession, as a major general, he commanded the right wing of the Prussian army. At the conclusion of this unexciting war, he retired in 1779. In 1788, he died in Berlin.

paragraph: Syphax

paragraph: Syphax was a king of the ancient Numidian tribe Masaesyli of western Numidia during the last quarter of the 3rd century BC. His story is told in Livy's "Ab Urbe Condita" (written c. 27–25 BC).

paragraph: Section::::Start of Second Punic War and Massylian succession crisis.

paragraph: When in 218BC, a second war broke out between Carthage and Rome, Syphax was initially sympathetic to the Romans. In 213BC, he concluded an alliance with the Romans and they sent military advisers to help Syphax train his troops. He then attacked the eastern Numidians, the Massylians, ruled by King Gala; at that time allied to the Carthaginians. When Gala died in 206BC, his sons Masinissa and Oezalces quarreled about the inheritance, and Syphax was able to conquer considerable parts of the eastern Numidian kingdom.

paragraph: Section::::Initial negotiations with Rome and Carthage.

paragraph: After the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio was victorious in the Battle of Ilipa (206BC), he sent his friend Gaius Laelius to visit Syphax to ratify the treaty with Rome. Syphax however, refused to ratify any treaty except with Scipio, so Scipio sailed with two quinqueremes to meet with Syphax, taking a considerable risk in doing so. In fact he arrived at the Numidian harbor, at exactly the same time as Hasdrubal Gisco (who had fled from Spain) anchored there on his way back to Carthage. However, Scipio's ship managed to make harbor before Hasdrubal's seven triremes could make out to intercept them, and in a neutral harbor, Hasdrubal dared not act against the Romans. Syphax invited both to dinner, where both Syphax and Hasdrubal were taken in by Scipio's charm.

paragraph: Section::::Alliance with Hasdrubal.

paragraph: Meanwhile, Masinissa had concluded that Rome was winning the war against Carthage and therefore decided to switch sides. Having lost the alliance with Masinissa, Hasdrubal started to look for another ally, which he found in Syphax, sealing the alliance by offering his daughter Sophonisba in marriage, although until 206BC she had been betrothed to Masinissa.

paragraph: Section::::Alliance with Hasdrubal.:Battle of the Great Plains.

paragraph: With the reversal of alliances it looked like Carthage and Syphax were in a strong position in Africa, certainly during the early stages of Scipio's campaign in North Africa, the joined forces of Syphax and Hasdrubal Gisco were able to force Scipio to abandon the siege of Utica. However, in the 203BC Battle of the Great Plains, Scipio overcame Hasdrubal and Syphax and while the Roman general concentrated on Carthage, Laelius and Masinissa followed Syphax to Cirta.

paragraph: Section::::Battle of Cirta.

paragraph: During the pursuit, Syphax was threatened with desertion by his army when Laelius and Massinissa's army approached the Numidian battle line. In a brave attempt to rally his troops, Syphax rode alone, straight towards the Roman cavalry, but in this desperate attempt his badly wounded horse threw him off. Syphax was pounced upon immediately by Roman soldiers and taken to the ecstatic Massinissa. Syphax's troops retreated to the capital city which later fell as Massinissa claimed his kingdom. Syphax was delivered to Scipio and was taken as a prisoner, dying in Tibur (modern Tivoli) in 203 or 202BC.

paragraph: Section::::After death.

paragraph: In a twist of fate, Sophonisba then married Masinissa. However, Scipio, suspicious of Sophonisba, demanded that she be taken to Rome and appear in the triumphal parade. To spare her such humiliation, Masinissa sent her poison, with which she killed herself.

paragraph: The Tunisian city Sfax is said to be named after King Syphax.

paragraph: Miroslav Vitouš

paragraph: Miroslav Ladislav Vitous (born 6 December 1947) is a Czech jazz bassist who has had an extensive career in the US.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Prague, he began the violin at age six and started playing piano at age ten and bass at fourteen. As a young man in Europe, Vitous was a competitive swimmer. One of his early music groups was the Junior Trio with his brother Alan on drums and Jan Hammer on keyboards. He studied music at the Prague Conservatory (under František Pošta), and won a music contest in Vienna that gave him a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music.

paragraph: In 1967, in Chicago, Miles Davis saw Vitous playing with Clark Terry and invited him to join his group for a residency at The Village Gate in New York City.

paragraph: His album "Infinite Search" was recorded with John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, and Joe Henderson. He has also worked with Chick Corea, Larry Coryell, Jan Garbarek, Freddie Hubbard, Michel Petrucciani, Terje Rypdal, Wayne Shorter, and Joe Zawinul

paragraph: In 1970 he was a founding member of the group Weather Report. In 1973 he was replaced by Alphonso Johnson. He stated, "I enjoyed the beginning of it very much, but it turned into a little bit of a drag in the end because Joe Zawinul wanted to go in another direction. The band was seeking success and fame and they basically changed their music to go a commercial way into a black funk thing". He also felt aggrieved financially. "I was an equal partner and basically, I didn't get anything. We had a corporation together that was completely ignored. If you have a company and three people own it, and then two people say 'Okay, we don't want to work like this anymore. It's just two of us now', normally, they break down the stock and pay off the third person".

paragraph: In 1981 he performed at the Woodstock Jazz Festival held in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Creative Music Studio. In 1984 he collaborated with Stanley Clarke. In 1988 Vitous moved back to Europe to concentrate on composing but nonetheless continued to perform in festivals.

paragraph: In 2001, Vitous reunited with Corea and Haynes (as the Now He Sings, Now He Sobs trio) for a concert in a series entitled "Rendezvous in New York" in celebration of Corea's 60th birthday. The album of the same name came out in 2003 and earned Corea a Grammy Award for Best Improvised Jazz Solo for the composition "Matrix".

paragraph: Ivanuš Pergošić (1521-1592) () was early Kajkavian author from Habsburg Slavonia and author of the 1574 translation of "Tripartitum" (written by István Werbőczy) which is the first printed Kajkavian book.

paragraph: In 1564 Pergošić was a rector of a school in Zagreb. He was one of four most important members of the Varaždin literary circle, besides Antun Vramec, Blaž Škrinjarić and Blaž Antilović. Pergošić was tolerant to Protestantism.

paragraph: Section::::Decretum.

paragraph: Pergošić published his works in Zagreb and Varaždin. In 1574 he printed a translation of “Tripartitum” written by István Werbőczy. Pergošić referred to the language he used in this translation (titled "Decretum") was Slavic () and in its preface Pergošić emphasized that it was written for "Slavs and Croats". It is assumed that he used terms Slavs and Croats to refer to the people of two administrative regions of Habsburg Monarchy (Kingdom of Slavonia and Kingdom of Croatia) without any sort of ethnic connotation. Pergošić's 1574 translation of “Tripartitum” is considered the first printed book on Kajkavian dialect and the first printed work of Kajkavian literature.

paragraph: Josh Harding

paragraph: Joshua Joel Harding (born June 18, 1984) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Minnesota Wild.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Harding played three seasons of junior hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Regina Pats and Brandon Wheat Kings. He won the Del Wilson and Four Broncos Memorial Trophies in 2003 as the WHL's top goaltender and most outstanding player respectively. He represented Canada at the 2004 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, winning a silver medal. He was selected in the second round, 38th overall, of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the Wild. He began his professional career with the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League (AHL), the Wild's top minor league affiliate. In the 2004–05 season, his rookie season with the Aeros, he posted a 21–16–3 record with a 2.01 goals against average (GAA).

paragraph: Harding was called-up to the Wild on March 8, 2006, after goalie Dwayne Roloson was traded to the Edmonton Oilers. Before being called up, Harding had a 27–8–0 record with a .923% save percentage (second best in the AHL) in the Aeros' 2005–06 season. He finished the season with a 29–8–0 record for the Aeros. He appeared in three games with the Wild in 2005–06, going 2–1–0 with a 2.59 GAA.

paragraph: Harding began the 2006–07 season with the Aeros, compiling a 17–15–4 record before being recalled by the Wild on January 24, 2007. Harding recorded a 30-save, 5–0 shutout against the Oilers on March 1, 2007, the third shutout of his career.

paragraph: On October 14, 2007, Harding stopped 37 shots in his first game of the season, shutting-out the Anaheim Ducks 2–0. He compiled a 11–15 record in the 2007–08 NHL season, recording a 2.94 GAA. He played less during the 2008–09 season, going 3–11 but posting an improved 2.21 GAA.

paragraph: On September 24, 2010, Harding tore the Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his right knee in a pre-season game away against the St. Louis Blues that forced him to miss the entire 2010–11 season. Despite this, on July 1, 2011, Harding signed a one-year contract extension with the Wild.

paragraph: On June 19, 2012, Harding signed a three-year, $5.7 million contract extension with Minnesota. On November 28, 2012, during the 2012–13 NHL lockout, it was reported that Harding had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He kept the ailment (which can cause blurred vision and affect balance and coordination) a secret for over a month after doctors discovered the disease in late September 2012. In his first game back post-diagnosis, on January 20, 2013, Harding stopped all 24 shots he faced in a 1–0 shutout win over the Dallas Stars.

paragraph: During the first round of the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Chicago Blackhawks as the eighth seed, Wild starting goaltender Niklas Bäckström injured himself during warm ups before Game 1. Harding would replace him in a 2–1 overtime loss, stopping 35 shots. This brought praise from his teammates as well as opponents for his incredible play despite being affected by multiple sclerosis. The Wild would lose the series 4–1, but Harding would win the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in recognition of his efforts.

paragraph: Harding was expected to compete for the starting goaltending position for the Wild in the 2014–15 season, but a broken foot suffered in the off-season derailed those plans. Months later, upon being activated from injured reserve, the Wild placed Harding on waivers and assigned him to their AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild. In his second game of the season playing for Iowa, Harding suffered from dehydration, which was related to his multiple sclerosis, and had to be hospitalized. He subsequently retired from the professional hockey and currently works as a high school goalie instructor for the Edina Hornets in Edina, Minnesota.

paragraph: Section::::International play.

paragraph: Harding made his international debut at the junior level for Canada in the 2004 World Juniors, helping claim a championship silver medal. At the completion of the 2008–09 season, Harding was selected to make his full senior debut with the Canada senior team at the 2009 IIHF World Championship. He helped guide the Canadians to capture a silver medal.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Harding was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in November 2012 while training during the 2012–13 NHL lockout. Harding lives in Edina with his wife Sara and their two children. Through his marriage, Harding has a stepson.

paragraph: Alfonso of Capua

paragraph: Alfonso, also called Anfuso or Anfusus ("c". 1120 – 10 October 1144), was the Prince of Capua from 1135 and Duke of Naples from 1139. He was an Italian-born Norman of the noble Hauteville family. After 1130, when his father Roger became King of Sicily, he was the third in line to the throne; second in line after the death of an older brother in 1138. He was the first Hauteville prince of Capua after his father conquered the principality from the rival Norman Drengot family. He was also the first Norman duke of Naples after the duchy fell vacant on the death of the last Greek duke. He also expanded his family's power northwards, claiming lands also claimed by the Papacy, although he was technically a vassal of the Pope for his principality of Capua.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Alfonso was the third son of Count Roger II of Sicily, who became king in 1130, and his first wife, Elvira of Castile. He was probably named after his maternal grandfather, King Alfonso VI of Castile, but contemporary sources invariably use the spellings Anfusus, Anphusus or Amphusus. According to Alexander of Telese, in August 1135 Alfonso was a mere "boy" ("puer") too young to be knighted alongside his brothers Roger (died 1148) and Tancred (died 1138). While the Latin term "puer" might refer to a man up to the age of 28, Alfonso was less than sixteen years old, the age at which a boy was knighted in medieval Sicily. He was also older than two other brothers, William and Henry, described as "infantes" (infants), that is, under fourteen. Alfonso's birth therefore took place around 1120.

paragraph: After the refusal of Prince Robert II of Capua to submit to King Roger in June 1135, Roger declared him deposed and in October appointed Alfonso to the principality, "with the support of all the best knights". To underline the royal authority, Roger and his sons made a solemn entry into Capua and had the principality's vassals swear fealty to their new prince and to their king and his heir. In this way, the traditional principalities of southern Italy nominally retained their autonomy, but as integral parts of the kingdom, royal appanages. Roger's chancellor Guarin, who had administered Capua on behalf of Roger since royal troops had occupied it in 1134, continued to administer on behalf of the young Alfonso. After Guarin, Robert of Selby was appointed to administer Capua until Alfonso came of age. He was still governing there during the imperial invasion of 1137, when the army of the German emperor Lothair II briefly occupied Capua and reinstated Prince Robert.

paragraph: Section::::Administration of Capua and Naples.

paragraph: On 25 July 1139, in a meeting at Mignano, Pope Innocent II finally recognised Roger as King of Sicily, in exchange Roger accepted Innocent as his feudal lord. The pope also recognised Alfonso as Prince of Capua and invested him with a banner. Although the granting of a banner implied that Capua was a direct fief of the papacy, in fact it was an arrière-fief. Alfonso was a vassal of his father, who was a vassal of the pope. Nonetheless, after receiving his papal investiture Alfonso took personal charge of his principality.

paragraph: In 1137, Duke Sergius VII of Naples died and his duchy fell vacant. In 1139, the Neapolitans made their submission to King Roger at Benevento on papal territory. The contemporary historian Falco of Benevento records how "in those days the citizens of Naples came to Benevento, and bringing the city of Naples to the fealty of the Lord King they took his son [to be their] duke, and submitted their necks to his [Alfonso's] fealty." This took place in July 1139. The acquisition of Naples and the papal banner occurred around the same time, and Alfonso thus became the ruler of two small principalities at about the age of nineteen.

paragraph: Alfonso did not initially control the revenues of his principality, which were overseen by a royal chamberlain, Jocelin. It is also unclear what judicial authority he exercised. His principality corresponded to a single circuit of royal justiciars, the later Terra di Lavoro. The original justiciars, Archbishop-elect William of Capua and Lord Hamo of Arienzo, were appointed in 1135. Later evidence from the reign of King Tancred, suggests that the prince of Capua had supreme judicial authority in his province. Alfonso was only intermittently resident in Capua, and he often visited Sicily. On the whole, his office appears to have been primarily a military one, and he acted more as a representative of the royal power than as the prince of an old and well-defined country. He initially bore the Latin title "princeps Capue", but after acquiring Naples he used the longer title "princeps Capuanorum et dux Neapolitanorum", "Prince of the Capuans and Duke of the Neapolitans". At Capua he minted copper "follari" in the style of the old princes but much smaller in size. Six types are known, some bearing the inscription (for "Anfusus") or (for "Anfusus princeps") and some even with Pseudo-Kufic inscriptions. He had his own court and his own officials, who dated charters by the years of his reign. Perhaps because of the independent-mindedness of the Capuan barons, Alfonso's government in Capua was more formally organised than that of his brother Roger in Apulia. Sometime after 1135, probably towards 1140, Duke Richard III of Gaeta was compelled to swear homage to King Roger, Duke Roger and Prince Alfonso.

paragraph: Section::::Wars in the north.

paragraph: In March 1140, acting on his father's orders, Alfonso commenced the conquest of the Abruzzo, which belonged to the Duchy of Spoleto, part of the kingdom of Italy. Shortly after he was joined by his brother Roger. They took the strategic fortresses of Arce and Sora, and extended the kingdom over all the territory from the river Pescara to the Tronto. The chronicler Falco of Benevento records that they took many castles and settlements, burned others and left with great spoils. The king then joined his sons and, on 28 April 1140, Alfonso witnessed the king's charter by which he founded the Cappella Palatina in Palermo. By July 1140 the frontier of the kingdom had been pushed north as far as Ceprano in the papal state. According to the "Chronica Ferrariensis", when Pope Innocent wrote to Alfonso demanding that he cease invading his lands, he wrote back that "he would not seek another's lands, but wanted only to reintegrate lands belonging to his Capuan principality, and so subjugate all the lands of the principality of Capua and the duchy of Apulia to himself."

paragraph: In July 1142, the king and Alfonso held a great court at Silva Marca near Ariano, attended by all the counts of the mainland. Alfonso then invaded the papal territory of Marsia, which Alfonso claimed belonged to the princes of Capua, although they had no exercised power there since the reign of Prince Richard I in the 1070s. Alfonso also intervened in a dispute within the family of the counts of Teramo. He removed Count Matthew and replaced him with his brothers, William and Robert. In November 1143 the conquest of Marsia was completed and its feudal lords accepted the authority of the King of Sicily. All the conquered territories in the Abruzzo and Latium were then divided by the between Apulia and Capua, Alfonso taking the lands to the west of the Gran Sasso d'Italia.

paragraph: At Ceprano in early June 1144, King Roger and Alfonso opened negotiations with Pope Lucius II, who demanded the restoration of the Principality of Capua as a full papal fief. After fifteen days, the negotiations were broken off. The king left to prepare a naval expedition, while Alfonso invaded the papal state, taking the towns of Rieti and Amiterno. Lucius quickly agreed to a seven-year truce with Alfonso, but Roger refused to ratify it. The prince of Capua died on 10 October 1144, probably in the course of this campaign. Roger signed a treaty with Lucius shortly after, relinquishing Alfonso's most recent conquests. Alfonso was succeeded at Capua and Naples by his younger brother William, and the government of Capua was again entrusted to Robert of Selby.

paragraph: An elegy for an unnamed "son of Roger the Frank, lord of Sicily" by the Sicilian poet Abū l-Ḍawʾ was about either Alfonso or his older brother Tancred.

paragraph: Hugh Owen Thomas (23 August 1834 – 06 January 1891) was a Welsh surgeon. He is considered the father of orthopaedic surgery in Britain.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Hugh Owen Thomas descended from a young boy who had been shipwrecked in Anglesey in 1745. Given the name Evan Thomas by the family that adopted and raised him, he established a family tradition of bone-setting. Evan Thomas — the grandson of the original survivor, and Hugh’s father — had moved to Liverpool at the age of 19, where he set up a successful practice as bone-setter. Evan, however, was not a trained physician, and three times he was taken to court to defend his practice. Although he was never convicted, the constant jealousy and antagonism of the medical community was a great toll on him; at one point his cottage was even burned down. As a result of this, he decided to send all his five sons to train and qualify as doctors.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Hugh trained with his uncle, Owen Roberts at St. Asaph in North Wales for four years, then he studied medicine at Edinburgh and University College, London. He qualified as MRCS in 1857. Returning to Liverpool, he first worked with his father, but incompatible temperaments did not allow this for long, so in 1859 he set up his own practice in the poorer part of town.

paragraph: Hugh was known as an eccentric and rather temperamental man. A rumour had it that he would attack victims himself, and break their bones, in order to have patients on which to practice. He was short; just over five feet tall, always wore a black coat buttoned all the way up, a patch over one eye, and constantly had a cigarette in his mouth. Among the poor people of Liverpool though, he stood in great esteem. He practiced from his home in No. 11, Nelson Street, where he worked all day from five or six in the morning, and every Sunday he would treat patients for free.

paragraph: Section::::Medical legacy.

paragraph: His contribution to British orthopaedics was manifold. In the treatment of fractures and tuberculosis he advocated rest, which should be 'enforced, uninterrupted and prolonged'. In order to achieve this he created the so-called 'Thomas Splint', which would stabilise a fractured femur and prevent infection. He is also responsible for numerous other medical innovations that all carry his name: 'Thomas's collar' to treat tuberculosis of the cervical spine, 'Thomas's manoeuvre', an orthopaedic investigation for fracture of the hip joint, Thomas test, a method of detecting hip deformity by having the patient lying flat in bed, 'Thomas's wrench' for reducing fractures, as well as an osteoclast to break and reset bones. The 'Thomas heel' is part of a shoe for children consisting of a heel one-half inch (12 mm) longer, and an eighth to a sixth of an inch (4 to 6 mm) higher on the inside. This is used to bring the heel of the foot into varus deformity, and to prevent depression in the region of the head of the ankle bone.

paragraph: His work was never fully appreciated in his own lifetime, but when his nephew, Sir Robert Jones, applied his splint during the First World War, this reduced mortality of compound fractures of the femur from 87% to less than 8% in the period from 1916 to 1918.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Often called "Suruga Dainagon" (the major counsellor of Suruga), Tadanaga was born in 1606. His birth name was "Kunichiyo" (国千代). The date of his birth is uncertain, and is variously given as May 7, June 1, and December 3. Blessed with military and intellectual prowess and a generosity of spirit, he received support from his mother, Oeyo (or Sūgen'in), who favored him over her other son Takechiyo (the future Iemitsu) to become the third shogun. Just after the death of their father shogun Hidetada, Iemitsu accused his brother, already under house arrest in Kōfu, of insanity, stripped him of all possessions and offices, leaving him to commit seppuku.

paragraph: It is also said that Tadanaga's face was similar to his cousin's Toyotomi Hideyori and for that reason that Ieyasu hated and feared Tadanaga.

paragraph: Thomas Phillips Thompson

paragraph: Thomas Phillips Thompson (25 November 1843 – 20 May 1933) was an English-born journalist and humorist who was active in the early socialist movement in Canada.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Thomas Phillips Thompson was born on 25 November 1843 in Newcastle upon Tyne.

paragraph: He emigrated to Canada with his family in 1857, where they eventually settled in St. Catharines.

paragraph: Thompson studied law, and in 1965 he was admitted to the bar of the province of Ontario as a solicitor. However, he never practiced law, but instead became a journalist.

paragraph: Section::::Journalist.

paragraph: Thompson began writing for the St. Catharines Post.

paragraph: In 1867 he became a police reporter for the Toronto "Daily Telegraph", owned by the conservative John Ross Robertson.

paragraph: Around 1870 he began working for the Toronto "Mail and Empire", where he wrote a weekly political column under the pseudonym "Jimuel Briggs".

paragraph: Jimuel Briggs made fun of the law and of its victims. Thompson gave lectures, and became widely known as a humorist in Ontario.

paragraph: As time went by Thompson became more pessimistic and demanding, calling for a complete overhaul of the social system, which he expected to come about through violent revolution.

paragraph: Thompson married Delia Florence Fisher on 2 February 1872.

paragraph: His wife was twenty-two years old, from Guelph, from a family of German origin.

paragraph: He left the Mail and founded the "Daily City Press", which failed.

paragraph: In 1874 he founded "The National", a weekly paper that commented on politics.

paragraph: At first "The National" supported the Canada First movement, but he turned away from Canada First due to its hostility to trade unions.

paragraph: After 1875 Thompson and "The National" became concerned with issues related to labor, immigration and other reform causes.

paragraph: Soon afterwards the newspaper stopped publication.

paragraph: Thompson moved to the United States in 1876, where he had a job offer from the "Boston Traveller".

paragraph: When the Thompsons moved to Boston their first child was three years old. A second daughter, Laura Beatrice, was born in Boston on 13 March 1878.

paragraph: Thompson was literary editor of the "Evening Traveller".

paragraph: He also worked for the "Boston Courier" and "American Punch".

paragraph: Thompson returned to Toronto in 1879 and found work with the "Mail", a Liberal-Conservative newspaper, then moved to George Brown's "Globe", the organ of the Liberal party.

paragraph: In 1881 "The Globe" sent him to Ireland as a special correspondent to cover the land campaign of Charles Stewart Parnell.

paragraph: He first met Henry George during this trip.

paragraph: In Ireland, seeing the desperate poverty of the tenant farmers and listening to Parnell making the case for "home rule", he became radicalized. This is evident in his last dispatch to the Globe from Ireland, in which he wrote, "And so, in spite of blunders, and crimes, and defeats - in spite of the greed and self-seeking and the ambitions of the demagogues - through bloodshed, and tears, and suffering, the cause of the people will prevail by slow degrees, and the accumulated and buttressed wrongs of centuries be overthrown." After returning to Toronto he was given an editorial position with the "Globe" from 1881–83, then with the "News" from 1884–88.

paragraph: Section::::Radical.

paragraph: The Toronto "News" was a reform newspaper that supported the Knights of Labor.

paragraph: Thompson also wrote many articles for Knights' journal "The Palladium of Labor".

paragraph: He signed these articles "Enjolras", after a character from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables".

paragraph: In 1886, he joined a local assembly of the Knights in Toronto.

paragraph: That year he was an official delegate to the 1886 convention of the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress.

paragraph: He became the leading socialist intellectual and supporter of labor in Canada.

paragraph: Thompson published "The Politics of Labor" in 1887, an influential critique of the labor movement.

paragraph: For a short period (1890–91) he edited the radical weekly "Labor Advocate".

paragraph: He used the paper to push for local reforms such as public ownership of the Toronto street railway.

paragraph: In 1892 Thompson ran for election as a labor candidate in the Ontario provincial legislature, but was not successful.

paragraph: For a period he advocated the land reforms proposed by Henry George. He was against monopolies, in favor of political involvement by workers, but did not support strikes. He was hostile to corruption, particularly in local politics, and was in favor of public ownership of utilities. In the 1890s he spent a year in France, England and Scotland with his family, sending reports to the "Globe" and the "Mail" that called for radical reform to a system in which the idle rich lived off the toil of the workers.

paragraph: Thompson's radical views and his drift toward outright socialism made it hard for him to get regular work with the mainstream newspapers in Canada. The family was usually short of money. Delia Thompson died in 1897 at the age of forty-seven.

paragraph: Two years after his wife's death Thompson married her sister Edith, who was thirteen years younger.

paragraph: In 1901 they had a son, Phillips Whitman.

paragraph: In the later 1890s and in the early 1900s Thompson was employed by different provincial government departments as a writer, and also wrote for the legislature.

paragraph: In 1900, due to his reputation as a labor spokesman, he was made the Toronto correspondent for the Department of Labour's "Labour Gazette", published in Ottawa, holding this position until he retired in 1911.

paragraph: The Canadian Socialist League (CSL) was formed in Montreal in 1898 by former members of the Socialist Labor Party.

paragraph: The founders rejected the Labor party leadership of Daniel De Leon.

paragraph: Support for the League appeared about the same time in the summer of 1899 in Montreal and Toronto.

paragraph: In Ontario the CSL was organized by George Weston Wrigley and Thompson, both former Knights of Labor, in an effort to pull together the reform forces that had become fragmented after the Patrons of Industry were defeated in the 1896 federal election.

paragraph: George Wrigley suffered a series of strokes in 1904.

paragraph: That year he was involved in the decision of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Socialist League to join the Socialist Party of Canada, which was established early in 1905.

paragraph: Wrigley was supported by Thomas Phillips Thompson in this effort.

paragraph: Thomas Phillips Thompson spoke and wrote for the socialist movement until the 1920s.

paragraph: He died in Oakville, Ontario on 20 May 1933, aged eighty-nine.

paragraph: Section::::Publications.

paragraph: Sophia Frances Anne Caulfeild

paragraph: Sophia Frances Anne Caulfeild (19 January 1824 – 20 November 1911) was a British writer and needleworker. She wrote about religion and needlework, and frequently worked with Blanche Catherine Saward.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Caulfeild was born in Teignmouth in 1824 to Frances Sally Irwin and Edwin-Toby Caulfeild, son of Wade-Toby Caulfeild. Her father was from a minor branch of a noble family. Her great-grandfather was William Caulfeild, 2nd Viscount Charlemont. She had a younger sister called Louisa Lavinia and an elder brother named Henry Cope Caulfeild. Caulfield lived in Teignmouth.

paragraph: In 1870 she had a book of poetry published which she dedicated to her brother Henry Cope Caulfeild.

paragraph: In 1882 she and Blanche Saward had their "Dictionary of Needlework" published. The work was available in six volumes and the full title was "The dictionary of needlework : an encyclopaedia of artistic, plain, and fancy needlework dealing fully with the details of all the stitches employed, the method of working, the materials used, the meaning of technical terms, and, where necessary, tracing the origin and history of the various works described". In 1887 she published "The Lives of the Apostles, their contemporaries and successors".

paragraph: Dani Ndi

paragraph: Daniel 'Dani' Arnaud Ndi (born 18 August 1995) is a Cameroonian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder who is currently playing for NK Istra 1961.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.

paragraph: Born in Douala, Ndi left his homeland in 2009, aged 14, trialling in Austria and England during six months. He also had a trial period at Manchester United F.C., but nothing came of it.

paragraph: Ndi subsequently joined local Daga Young Stars FC, but after a trip to Spain with Cameroon under-17s, signed for AD Colmenar Viejo. He subsequently left the club and moved to Sporting de Gijón, initially playing for lowly SD Llano 2000 due to being a non-EU player.

paragraph: Ndi subsequently returned to Sporting in the 2013 summer, and made his debuts as a senior in the 2013–14 campaign, while still a youth, with the B-team in Segunda División B. In July 2014 he was called up to the main squad for the pre-season.

paragraph: Ndi played his first match as a professional on 26 October 2014, replacing Miguel Ángel Guerrero in the 75th minute of a 2–0 home win against CA Osasuna for the Segunda División championship. He scored his first goal on 4 January of the following year, netting the last in a 1–1 away draw against CD Tenerife.

paragraph: In April 2015, despite having one year left in his youth contract, Ndi returned to Cameroon after being advised by his agent Olivier Noah to do so, thus choosing not to return to Gijón. Noah later told Vicente González-Villamil, Ndi's representative in Spain, that he would not return to Sporting due to his low annual earnings. On 13 April, however, he returned to the club, but did not appear neither for the main squad nor the reserves during the remainder of the campaign.

paragraph: On 11 November 2015, after expressing his apologies to the club and replacing his agent, Ndi extended his contract with Sporting until 2018. He made his La Liga debut seventeen days later, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Celta de Vigo. However, the club terminated his contract on 1 September 2017.

paragraph: On 12 February 2018, after more than five months without a team, Ndi signed a two-season contract with RCD Mallorca in the third division. However, in July 2018, after the team promotion to the second division, Mallorca terminated his contract.

paragraph: At beginning of 2019 Ndi joined Croatian outfit NK Istra 1961 on free transfer.

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: After appearing with the under-15s and under-17s, Ndi was called up to the full side on 12 March 2015. He made his international debut on the 25th, starting and playing 75 minutes in a 1–0 friendly win against Indonesia.

paragraph: George Horine

paragraph: George Leslie Horine (February 3, 1890 – November 28, 1948) was an American athlete who mainly competed in the high jump. He is credited with developing a technique called a forerunner to the western roll, a technique he developed due to the layout of his backyard where he practiced which was considered "backward" at the time. While on the track team at Stanford University, his technique was corrected to the more conventional jumping style of the time. He equalled the NCAA record in the event at 6' 4" as a sophomore. His junior year, 1912, he reverted to his old style, improving to 6' 4 3/4" and then a world record 6' 6 1/8". A few weeks later at the Olympic Trials, he improved again to jump 6' 7" making him the first man to break the barrier. It was the first high jump world record ratified by the IAAF. He never improved upon his record, which stood for two years.
