paragraph: Ibn Majah

paragraph: Abū ʻAbdillāh Muḥammad ibn Yazīd Ibn Mājah al-Rabʻī al-Qazwīnī (; fl. 9th century CE) commonly known as Ibn Mājah, was a medieval scholar of hadith of Persian origin. He compiled the last of Sunni Islam's six canonical hadith collections, "Sunan Ibn Mājah".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ibn Mājah was born in Qazwin, the modern-day Iranian province of Qazvin, in 824 CE/209 AH to a family who were clients ("mawla") of the Rabīʻah tribe. "Mājah" was the nickname of his father, and not that of his grandfather nor was it his mother's name, contrary to those claiming this. The "hāʼ" at the end is un-voweled whether in stopping upon its pronunciation or continuing because it a non-Arabic name.

paragraph: He left his hometown to travel the Islamic world visiting Iraq, Makkah, the Levant and Egypt. He studied under Ibn Abi Shaybah (through whom came over a quarter of "al-Sunan"), Muḥammad ibn ʻAbdillāh ibn Numayr, Jubārah ibn al-Mughallis, Ibrāhīm ibn al-Mundhir al-Ḥizāmī, ʻAbdullāh ibn Muʻāwiyah, Hishām ibn ʻAmmār, Muḥammad ibn Rumḥ, Dāwūd ibn Rashīd and others from their era. Abū Yaʻlā al-Khalīlī praised Ibn Mājah as "reliable ("thiqah"), prominent, agreed upon, a religious authority, possessing knowledge and the capability to memorize."

paragraph: According to al-Dhahabī, Ibn Mājah died on approximately February 19, 887 CE/with eight days remaining of the month of Ramadan, 273 AH, or, according to al-Kattānī, in either 887/273 or 889/275. He died in Qazwin.

paragraph: What he compiled/did

paragraph: Al-Dhahabī mentioned the following of Ibn Mājah's works:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Sunan Ibn Mājah": one of the six canonical collections of hadith

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Kitāb al-Tafsīr": a book of Qur'an exegesis

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Kitāb al-Tārīkh": a book of history or, more likely, a listing of hadith transmitters

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:The "Sunan".

paragraph: The "Sunan" consists of 1,500 chapters and about 4,000 hadith. Upon completing it, he read it to Abu Zur’a al-Razi, a hadith authority of his time, who commented, "I think that were people to get their hands on this, the other collections, or most of them, would be rendered obsolete."

paragraph: Mentuhotep IV

paragraph: Nebtawyre Mentuhotep IV was the last king of the 11th Dynasty. He seems to fit into a 7-year period in the Turin Canon for which there is no recorded king.

paragraph: Section::::Rock inscriptions.

paragraph: He is known from a few inscriptions in Wadi Hammamat that record expeditions to the Red Sea coast and to quarry stone for the royal monuments. It seems that he was a son of his predecessor.

paragraph: Also, he is attested by the inscriptions at Wadi el-Hudi. Another relevant inscription is found in Ain Sukhna. These locations were the usual staging harbours for the expeditions to the Sinai.

paragraph: Despite Mentuhotep's obscurity (he is absent from the official king lists in Abydos), the inscriptions show the organization and makeup of a large expedition during his reign. The leader of an expedition to Wadi Hammamat, during the second year of Mentuhotep IV’s reign, was his vizier, Amenemhat, who is assumed to be the future king Amenemhat I, the first king of the 12th Dynasty, and Mentuhotep's immediate successor.

paragraph: A fragment of a slate bowl found at Lisht North was regarded for a long time to be inscribed on the outside with the official titulary of Mentuhotep IV, and on the inside with that of King Amenemhat I, his successor. Since the two inscriptions are incised in a different style of writing, according to Dorothea Arnold, this indicates that Amenemhat had his name added to an older vessel that already bore the name of Mentuhotep IV. However, Peter Janosi showed that Mentuhotep IV is not mentioned on the bowl, the titulary preserved there fits better to Mentuhotep II.

paragraph: Section::::End of reign.

paragraph: It is assumed by some Egyptologists that Amenemhat either usurped the throne or assumed power after Mentuhotep IV died childless. There is currently no archaeological or textual evidence to prove that Mentuhotep was deposed by his vizier or that he chose Amenemhat to be his designated successor. Neither his mummy nor his burial place have been found.

paragraph: Gianni Rodari

paragraph: Giovanni "Gianni" Rodari (23 October 1920 – 14 April 1980) was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his children's books, notably "Il romanzo di Cipollino". For his lasting contribution as a children's writer he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970 and many consider him Italy's most important twentieth-century children's author. His books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Rodari was born in Omegna, a small town on Lake Orta in the province of Novara in northern Italy. His father, a baker, died when Rodari was only eight. Rodari and his two brothers, Cesare and Mario, were raised by his mother in her native village, in the province of Varese. After three years at the seminary in Seveso, Rodari received his teacher's diploma at the age of seventeen and began to teach elementary classes in rural schools of the Varese district. He had interest in music (three years of violin lessons) and literature (discovered the works of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Lenin and Trotsky which sharpened his critical sense). In 1939, for a short time, Rodari attended the Catholic University of Milan.

paragraph: During World War II, Rodari had a deferment from the army due to his ill health. Due to his precarious financial situation, he applied for work at the Casa del Fascio and was forced to join the National Fascist Party. Traumatized by the loss of his two best friends and his favorite brother Cesare's incarceration in a German concentration camp, Rodari joined the Italian Communist Party in 1944 and participated in the Italian resistance movement.

paragraph: In 1948, as a journalist for the Communist periodical "L'Unità", he began writing books for children. In 1950, the Party installed him as editor of the new weekly children's magazine "Il Pioniere" in Rome. In 1951, Rodari published his first books, "Il Libro delle Filastrocche" and "Il Romanzo di Cipollino".

paragraph: In 1952, he traveled for the first time to the Soviet Union, which he frequented thereafter. In 1953, he married Maria Teresa Feretti, who four years later gave birth to their daughter, Paola. In 1957, Rodari passed the exam to become a professional journalist.

paragraph: Rodari spent the years 1966–1969 working intensively on collaborative projects with children. In 1970 he received the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for children's literature, which gained him a wide international reputation as the best modern children's writer in Italian. The biennial award by the International Board on Books for Young People is the highest recognition available to a writer or illustrator of children's books. His works have been translated into numerous languages.

paragraph: In 1979, after another trip to the Soviet Union, his health, never very robust, declined and his productivity diminished. He died in Rome, following a surgical operation, in April 1980.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: He is perhaps best known for developing the story of Cipollino. The story of Cipollino was popular enough to have a ballet staged in the Soviet Union in 1973, composed by Karen Khachaturian and choreographed by Genrik Alexandrovich Maiorov. Cipollino, or Little Onion, fights the unjust treatment of his fellow vegetable townfolk by the fruit royalty (Prince Lemon and the overly proud Tomato) in the garden kingdom. The main theme is the "struggle of the underclass and the powerful, good versus evil" and the importance of friendship in the face of difficulties.

paragraph: Lucia Cifarelli

paragraph: Lucia Cifarelli (born September 23, 1970) is an American musician, best known for her work with industrial band KMFDM. She was formerly the vocalist for the band Drill and also performed in KMFDM offshoots MDFMK, KGC, and Schwein.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Cifarelli got her start recording in studios in New York, eventually forming her own band, Drill, along with future Black Label Society bass guitarist John DeServio. Drill released one self-titled album, spawning two music videos and getting a third song featured in the movie "Empire Records". Later in 1995, Drill opened for Stabbing Westward's "Wither, Blister, Burn, and Peel" Tour. The band broke up shortly after the end of the tour.

paragraph: Cifarelli joined the KMFDM-hiatus band MDFMK in 2000. The project lasted for one self-titled album. In 2001, Cifarelli and Sascha Konietzko worked on the supergroup Schwein and its albums "Schweinstein" and the subsequent remix album "Son of Schweinstein". After the MDFMK project was discontinued, Cifarelli was asked to return as a member of KMFDM. She has been a member of the band since 2002's "Attak". She recorded one solo album, "From the Land of Volcanos". One single off the album, "I Will", appeared on the "American Pie 2" soundtrack. Cifarelli performed on the band KGC's 2006 album "Dirty Bomb".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Lucia Cifarelli was raised in Long Island. She had one older sister, Leslie Cifarelli, who was an aspiring actress (Rent Control (1984 film)). According to herself, Cifarelli was an ordinary child and her parents knew she wouldn't pursue a career in science. Her only passion was singing. At first she showed no big talent, but determination big enough to overcome it. Leslie encouraged her to keep singing and in her early teens Cifarelli got a job to pay for her singing lessons with vocal coaches like Tania Travers.

paragraph: When her sister was diagnosed with terminal illness, Cifarelli started expressing her inner anger and sorrow in her music, which led her to include various "primary growls" and screams in her songs. This singing technique was later associated with her, but Lucia never stopped experimenting.

paragraph: In July 2005, she married KMFDM founder and producer Sascha Konietzko. They live in Hamburg, Germany, her husband's hometown. The couple has one daughter (Annabella Asia Konietzko, born February 14, 2008).

paragraph: Soledad O'Brien

paragraph: María de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien (born September 19, 1966) is an American broadcast journalist and executive producer. Since 2016, O'Brien has been the host for "Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien," a nationally syndicated weekly talk show produced by Hearst Television. She is chairwoman of Starfish Media Group, a multi-platform media production company and distributor that she founded in 2013.

paragraph: O'Brien co-anchored CNN's "American Morning" from 2003 to 2007, and was the anchor of CNN's morning news program "Starting Point" from 2012 to 2013. In 2013, O'Brien became special correspondent on the Al Jazeera America news program, "America Tonight," and until 2015 was a correspondent on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel".

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: O'Brien was born and raised in St. James, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island to Edward Ephrem O'Brien (d. 2019), a mechanical engineering professor at Stony Brook University, and Estela O'Brien (née Marquetti y Mendieta)(d. 2019), a French and English teacher at Smithtown High School West. Her parents were both immigrants and met while they were students at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Her father is from Toowoomba, Queensland in Australia and is of three quarters Irish and one quarter Scottish descent. O'Brien's mother is from Havana, Cuba, and is of Afro-Cuban descent.

paragraph: Franz Ludwig Güssefeld

paragraph: Franz Ludwig Güssefeld (6 December 1744 – 17 June 1807) was a German cartographer. He is noted for his highly accurate maps which were mostly published by "Homannsche Erben" ("Homann Heirs") in Nuremberg.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Güssefeld was born in Osterburg and already had an interest in drawing and creating maps in his youth. When he failed to secure a position with the Prussian Corps of Engineers, he became a forester.

paragraph: His 1773 map of Brandenburg was the first of over a 100 maps of his that were published by Homann Heirs. The high quality of Güssefeld's work is credited with saving Homann Heirs, a formerly famous publisher which before Güssefeld's arrival had been in an increasingly difficult position due to mismanagement.

paragraph: Caleb Carr (governor)

paragraph: Caleb Carr (1616 - 17 December 1695) was a governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, serving a very short term prior to his death. In 1635, at the age of 19, he sailed from England on the ship "Elizabeth and Ann" with his older brother Robert. Carr's name appears on a list of Newport freemen in 1655, and he began serving in a civil capacity the year prior when he became a commissioner. He served in this capacity for a total of six years between 1654 and 1662, and then served as deputy for 12 years from 1664 to 1690. During the years when he wasn't serving as deputy, he was an assistant, serving in this role for a total of ten years. From 1677 to 1678 he was the justice of the General Quarter Session and Inferior Court of Common Pleas.

paragraph: Between 1658 and 1663 Carr purchased several large tracts of land on Conanicut Island (later becoming Jamestown), and following his death he willed this property to his sons. He owned a boat, and in 1671 he was paid four pounds for services rendered with the craft. In 1676 he bought the services of an Indian captive, for which he paid 12 bushels of Indian corn.

paragraph: Carr became governor of the colony in 1695, and in this capacity he wrote to Governor Fletcher of New York in answer to a request for 48 men from Rhode Island to assist in the defense of New York. He agreed to either send the men, or some comparable assistance. Carr died late in 1695 and was buried in a family cemetery in Newport. He was succeeded as governor by Walter Clarke.

paragraph: Carr had 13 children, nine with his first wife, Mercy (three died young), and four with his second wife, Sarah Clarke. His second wife was the widow of John Pinner and a daughter of Frances Latham and former colonial President Jeremy Clarke.

paragraph: Alexander King Sample

paragraph: Alexander King Sample (born November 7, 1960) is an American prelate of the Catholic Church. He has been the eleventh Archbishop of Portland, Oregon, since 2013. He was previously the twelfth Bishop of Marquette, Michigan.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Alexander King Sample was born in Kalispell, Montana, to Alexander and Joyce (née Dory) Sample (d. 2017), his father was of Scottish heritage and his mother Polish. He graduated from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1978. He attended Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1982 and a Master of Science degree in metallurgical engineering in 1984.

paragraph: Interested in becoming a priest since the fourth grade, he decided to study for the priesthood after graduating from MTU, saying, "I knew I would never know peace until I explored the vocation to be a priest." He graduated in 1986 from the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and then entered the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio.

paragraph: Section::::Priesthood.

paragraph: Sample was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Marquette by Bishop Mark Schmitt on June 1, 1990. He was parochial vicar at the parish of St. Peter Cathedral from 1990 to 1993, and then served as pastor of St. George Parish in Bark River, St. Michael Parish in Perronville, and Sacred Heart Parish in Schaffer (all of which were consolidated into St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in 1995).

paragraph: In 1994, he was sent to further his studies in Rome at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum), later earning a licentiate in canon law in 1996.

Within the Marriage Tribunal, he served as judge, adjutant judicial vicar, defender of the bond, and promoter of justice. He was also director of the Bishop Baraga Association and vice-postulator of the cause of beatification for Bishop Frederic Baraga.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.

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

paragraph: On December 13, 2005, Sample was appointed the twelfth Bishop of Marquette by Pope Benedict XVI. He received his episcopal consecration on January 25, 2006, from Cardinal Adam Maida, with bishops James Garland and Mark Schmitt serving as co-consecrators. At the time of his consecration, Sample was the youngest Catholic bishop in the United States and the first to be born in the 1960s. He selected as his episcopal motto: ""Vultum Christi Contemplari"", meaning "To Contemplate the Face of Christ".

paragraph: On October 7, 2007, at the invitation of Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke, Sample attended the Red Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, delivering the homily. In April 2009, Sample expressed his "disappointment and dismay" over the University of Notre Dame's decision to have President Barack Obama deliver its commencement speech and receive an honorary degree, given Obama's pro-choice views. He added, "It saddens me beyond words that the great university named after Our Lady would bestow distinction and honor on a politician who would seek to expand threats to such innocent human life."

paragraph: In July 2012, Sample ordained five seminarians to the diaconate, and ten new subdeacons. Among these new subdeacons are five from the United States for the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.

paragraph: Sample has stressed that permanent deacons should not regularly preach at Mass; rather they should preach at other services and serve the Church in the course of their daily witness to Christ. His 19-page letter, titled "The Deacon: Icon of Jesus Christ the Servant", cited the principle that the one who presides at a liturgical service or who is the principal celebrant at Mass should also give the homily: "This should be the ordinary practice." Deacons should preach the homily at Mass "for some identifiable advantage for the faithful in the congregation, but not on a regular basis."

paragraph: The Diocese of Marquette serves roughly 70,000 Roman Catholics in the Upper Peninsula.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Archbishop of Portland.

paragraph: On January 29, 2013, Sample was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to be the new Archbishop of Portland in Oregon, to succeed the retiring archbishop John George Vlazny. He was installed on April 2, 2013, (Easter Tuesday), at the Chiles Center Arena on the campus of the University of Portland.

paragraph: In 2017, Sample issued a decree stating that sexually-active homosexuals as well as divorced and civilly-remarried persons should not receive the Holy Eucharist, and that they must "sacramentally confess all serious sins with a firm purpose to change" before they can do so.

paragraph: In May 2018, Sample determined that those attending Holy Mass will [again] kneel from the Lamb of God to Holy Communion, starting from June 3, which is the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.

paragraph: Moncena Dunn (born Poland, Maine Sept 17, 1822, died West Roxbury, Massachusetts June 30, 1895, age 71), was a bookkeeper and cutler inducted into the Union Army. Dunn was severely wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg, and is known for his postwar testimony before Congress about the harsh, murderous conditions in Confederate prison camps.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Dunn was the son of Eliphalet Dunn and Hannah Edwards Sawyer. He worked as a cutler, bookkeeper and one of the first managers of the Bangor House Hotel (1849).

paragraph: Section::::Army career.

paragraph: Moncena Dunn was inducted into the Union Army, August 22, 1861, age 38, as first Lieutenant, Company D. 19th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. He fought in the Battle of Fredericksburg and was with the regimental chaplain, Arthur Buckminster Fuller, when Fuller was killed by enemy fire.

paragraph: "I saw him for the first time in the streets of Fredericksburg," Dunn recounted. Fuller asked permission to join Dunn's unit. Dunn replied that "there never was a better time than the present." Dunn ordered Fuller to fill a place on the left of the skirmish line. "I have seldom seen a person on the field so calm and mild in his demeanor, evidently not acting from impulse of martial rage," Dunn recalled. "His position was directly in front of a grocery store. He fell in five minutes after he took it, having fired [his rifle] once or twice." Fuller had been killed instantly. Dunn himself was severely wounded in the thigh.

paragraph: Dunn was captured June 22, 1864, near Petersburg, Virginia, and held prisoner under very harsh conditions in Confederate prison camps, including Andersonville. He witnessed one of his officers shot dead at a camp near Columbia, South Carolina, Camp Sorghum, when the man crossed the "dead line":

paragraph: "Around this camp was an imaginary line called the dead-line. About one rod beyond that, the line of sentinels was posted with orders to shoot any man who stepped over this imaginary line without permission. One day while we were waiting for the guard to be posted...one of our officers stood two feet inside of the deadline and the guard said to him "get back there;" he replied that he was not over the dead-line. The guard deliberately drew up his gun and shot him dead."

paragraph: Dunn was promoted to Full Captain on 18 Jun 1862, promoted to Full Major on 28 Feb 1864, promoted to Full Lieutenant Colonel (Not Mustered) on 28 July 1864, and mustered Out Company D, 19th Infantry Regiment Massachusetts on 19 July 1865.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war congressional testimony.

paragraph: Dunn saw General John H. Winder inspect the Columbia, South Carolina prison camp in which Dunn was held. Dunn testified before the "Congressional Committee of the House of Representatives for the Treatment of Prisoners of War and Union Citizens" that Winder and other high officers were well aware of the starvation rations and harsh conditions. Dunn also described to the committee the Confederates' use of bloodhounds to track down escaped Union Army prisoners.

paragraph: Section::::Final years and family.

paragraph: Dunn worked as a customs house clerk after the war and died of heart disease in Massachusetts in 1895. He was a brother of Wallace Dunn (1827–1907) and uncle of inventor Moncena Dunn.

paragraph: Mahirwan Mamtani

paragraph: Mahirwan Mamtani (born 2 November 1935 in Bhiria (Nawabshah) Sindh, British India) is painter, graphic and multimedia artist.

paragraph: Mamtani grew up in India, studied there and moved 1966 to Germany, where he had been awarded a scholarship by DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) to study painting at the Kunstakademie. Since that time he lives and works in and around Munich.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Already at the age of six in Sindh, Mahirwan Mamtani began to paint, mainly with charcoal and chalks on walls. At the age of 12, due to the partition of India, in 1947 the family moved to Delhi. Because of miserable living conditions as a refugee, lying on sick bed he taught himself without proper schooling. He used to doodle with pencil or pastels on paper. However circumstances forced Mamtani to earn money doing several jobs and his urge to paint was suppressed due to lack of time and money. After some years of such conditions, loneliness and hard work at self-education, Mamtani besides his jobs started studying for Bachelor of Arts and then joined evening classes at the Fine Arts Department of Delhi Polytechnic to study painting. He obtained the National Diploma in 1962. In 1966 he was awarded a scholarship by German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to study painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich under Prof. . Since then he is living with his family in and around the Munich and Bavaria area.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Already at the beginning of his studies, Mamtani was aware of Kandinsky, one of the groundbreakers of modernism, who had been searching for spiritual dimensions in art. For Mamtani it can go as far back as William Blake in the 18th century or extend to a German contemporary like Joseph Beuys, who was influenced by the anthroposophic teachings of Rudolf Steiner.

paragraph: In Munich, in the 1960s, he was influenced by Constructivism, and with his Indian background, by Tantra art. Out of these origins arose his "Centrovision" series, which – already in 1990 – consisted of more than 3000 works.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Quote.

paragraph: Some of his earlier multimedia projects were graphic animation films: CENTROVISION (1981) and FACES (1982).

paragraph: Starting in 1990 he built upon an idea from earlier (1985) works, where he had begun to let faces appear in some of his artwork. He performed dances wearing several mandala masks, which he had painted on wood, and recorded these dances in the form of photos and videos with the help of a self-timer.

paragraph: He then painted over the surface of the resulting photo sheets with acrylic colours, creating a series of new mixed-media works of art which he called "Transmuted Fotos". During that time he also experimented with other mixed media.

paragraph: From the year 2000 onwards, Mamtani created "Mandala Conscious Beings" where he focused on figurative paintings using mandala masks as central elements. This was driven by his urge to deal with human emotions (masks). His remarks were "We all are constantly wearing masks. We are changing the masks, but not removing them."
