paragraph: Elizabeth Potts

paragraph: Elizabeth Potts (née Atherton; December 21, 1846 – June 20, 1890) was convicted of murder in 1889 and hanged the following year, the only woman ever to be legally executed in the U.S. state of Nevada. Her husband, Josiah Potts, was executed simultaneously, having also been convicted of the murder and partial dismemberment of Miles Faucett.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Elizabeth Atherton and Josiah Potts (1842–1890) were both born in Manchester, England. They married in 1863 and immigrated to the United States two years later, settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They became parents to at least five and as many as seven children (sources differ on the number), including a son named Charley (age 17 in 1890), a daughter who was 13 in 1890, and a daughter named Edith (born July 4, 1883). The family moved west after Josiah, a machinist, got a job with the Central Pacific Railroad, at first in Terrace, Utah, and in 1886 in Carlin, Nevada. While living in Carlin, Elizabeth temporarily separated from Josiah, possibly due to financial hardships. While separated from her husband, Elizabeth traveled to Fresno, California, where she entered into a bigamous marriage with Miles Faucett, a carpenter who was also a native of England. The story of the marriage was not revealed publicly until it was uncovered by a San Francisco journalist some time after the Pottses had been executed for Faucett's murder.

paragraph: As of 1887, Elizabeth had returned to her home in Carlin. Faucett also went to Carlin, where he took up residence as a boarder in the Potts household. He soon bought a nearby ranch and moved to his property, but visited the Potts home regularly because Elizabeth provided him with bread and washed his laundry.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Disappearance and death of Miles Faucett.

paragraph: On January 1, 1888, Faucett told a friend, J.P. Linebarger, that he intended to visit the Pottses to collect some money they owed him, and that he had knowledge about Elizabeth's past that he could use to convince her to pay the debt. Faucett and Linebarger arrived together at the Potts' home, whereupon Elizabeth invited Faucett to spend the night. Faucett accepted, Linebarger departed, and Faucett was not seen alive again. In the days thereafter, when questioned about Faucett's disappearance, Josiah Potts said that Faucett had been called away on business in another state.

paragraph: In the summer of 1888, the Pottses moved to Rock Springs, Wyoming, and their house in Carlin was rented to a family named Brewer. In January 1889, George Brewer discovered mutilated human remains in the home's cellar. The remains were identified as those of Miles Faucett, and Elizabeth and Josiah Potts were arrested for the murder.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Murder conviction and execution.

paragraph: The Pottses were indicted for murder in the first degree and tried. They were both convicted of murder and sentenced to the death penalty. A double gallows, manufactured in Placerville, California, was obtained for the hanging and invitations were issued for attendance at the June 20, 1890 event. Elizabeth and Josiah Potts were hanged simultaneously before an audience of 52 men. Their bodies were buried in Elko Cemetery and later reinterred in a common grave when the cemetery was relocated.

paragraph: Elizabeth is the only woman ever to be legally executed in the history of Nevada. The Potts hanging was the last legal execution in Elko County; a state law passed in 1901 ended the practice of conducting executions in Nevada's county seats.

paragraph: Hayashi Narinaga

paragraph: Section::::Early life and background.

paragraph: Hayashi Narinaga was born 1517 in Doi (土), Kawajiri (川尻), Bingo Province, today part of Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Narinaga's childhood name is unknown. His birth year is only known from his recorded age at death which was 89 years. In Japan an infant is one year old at birth so in Western years he was 88 years old. His father was Kikuchi Takenaga (菊池武長) and his mother is unknown but there is a tradition that she was a daughter of the Hayashi clan of Kawajiri. His father Takenaga was a descendant of the powerful Kikuchi clan that ruled Higo Province since the 11th century. The Kikuchi clan is believed to be descended from the kings of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

paragraph: His father, Takenaga, came from a branch of the Kikuchi clan that were koku-jin-ryōshū (ji-samurai) in Hōki Province. The relationship with the Kikuchi clan of Higo Province is unclear but in the Hayashi clan genealogy Takenaga is the son of Kikuchi Takekuni (菊池武国) of Higo but this is impossible because of the years of birth. Scholars now believe he must have been a grandson of Takekuni. The Kikuchi clan in Higo were overthrown by the Ōtomo clan, another powerful family of Kyūshū.

paragraph: The Kikuchi clan of Hōki Province were based at Odaka-jō (尾高城) and were retainers of the Yukimatsu clan of Izumo Province. The Yukimatsu were vassals of the Yamana clan. One famous figure from the Kikuchi clan of Hōki Province was Kikuchi Otohachi (菊池音八) who is remembered as a ""moshō"" (a strong bushō) who was killed by Yamanaka Yukimori. In 1560 the Amago clan launched a campaign against the Yamana clan and took control of their land so Narinaga along with his father joined the rebellion to secede from their grasp.

paragraph: Section::::Retainer of the Mōri.

paragraph: In 1562 Odaka-jō fell to Sugihara Morishige (杉原盛重), a general of the Mōri clan. The Kikuchi clan of Hōki Province were vassals of the Yukimatsu clan so after their downfall they left to Bingo Province to become retainers of the Mōri clan under Mōri Motonari. At this time it seems that his father, Takenaga, was adopted into the Hayashi clan of Kawajiri and became known as Hayashi Moku-no-jō Michiaki (林木工允道明). The title Moku-no-jō (secretary of the Bureau of Carpentry) is passed down in the Hayashi clan for a few generations. There is a family tradition that Takenaga married the daughter of the Hayashi clan but there are no records to justify this. There is a record from a tombstone that Hayashi Yajirō (林弥二郎) of Kawajiri died in 1552 and may be the father of his wife. The Hayashi clan of Kawajiri were powerful in the area.

paragraph: Narinaga may have been known at this time as Hayashi Saburōzaemon Shigesato (林三郎左衛門重眞). A man with this name was lord of Matsuoka Castle (松岡城) and it is known that later Narinaga was lord of this castle. He became a vassal of Mōri Motonari and was given the position of karō and also as the ginzan-bugyō (mining official) of Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine, a position he held until ca.1585. Other officials at the mine whom Narinaga would have known were Hirasa Nariyuki (平佐就之) and Ōhashi Hachizō (大橋八蔵).'

paragraph: After the death of his father in 1576 he inherited his title and became known as Hayashi Moku-no-jō (林木工允).

paragraph: Section::::Retainer of the Mōri.:Siege of Toda Castle.

paragraph: In July 1562 at the First Siege of Toda Castle, Mōri Motonari ordered Hayashi Narinaga to go as a messenger to Honjō Etchū-no-kami Tsunemitsu (本城常光). Honjō Tsunemitsu held Yamabuki Castle (山吹城) in Iwami Province and was originally a vassal of the Amago clan, but defected to Mōri Motonari in 1563. Yamabuki Castle was strategically important for control of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. Two years later in April, 1564, Narinaga attended the Second Siege of Toda Castle.

paragraph: Section::::Retainer of the Mōri.:Siege of Kōzuki Castle (1578).

paragraph: The Siege of Kōzuki Castle occurred in 1578, when the army of Mōri Terumoto attacked and captured Kōzuki Castle (上月城) in Harima Province. Terumoto ordered his uncle, Kobayakawa Takakage, to bring reinforcements and he showed up with a force 30,000 strong. Narinaga and his first son, Motoyoshi, who was 21 years old at the time were present at the battle and helped bring down the castle. At Hiroshima Museum there is a letter of thanks from Mōri Terumoto to Narinaga for his son's participation in the battle. Kōzuki Castle had been taken by Hashiba Hideyoshi the previous year and entrusted to Amago Katsuhisa. When it fell to Mōri Motonari, Katsuhisa committed suicide (seppuku) and his loyal and heroic general Yamanaka Yukimori was captured and killed in the battle. Yukimori was the samurai who had killed Narinaga's family member, Kikuchi Otohachi, many years before.

paragraph: Section::::Diplomat between Mori and Hideyoshi (1582).

paragraph: In 1582 with the death of Oda Nobunaga at the Incident at Honnō-ji, Toyotomi Hideyoshi becomes the most powerful man in Japan. Hideyoshi rewarded Narinaga for his allegiance and merit in battle by making him lord of Mukaiyama Castle ("Mukaiyama-jō", 向山城) in Gocho-gun, Bingo Province (today Mitsugi District, Hiroshima) and Matsuoka Castle ("Matsuoka-jō", 松岡城) in Kōzan-cho, Sera-gun, Bingo Province. Matsuoka Castle originally belonged to the Matsuoka clan.

paragraph: In December, 1583 Narinaga was ordered by Hideyoshi to work on communications with the Mōri clan of the Chūgoku region. In 1584 Narinaga donated a statue depicting a seated Mōri Motonari to Chōan Temple (Chōan-ji) at Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. The statue was moved to its current location at the Mōri family home in Bofu, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

paragraph: Section::::Hideyoshi's Kyūshū Campaign (1586–1587).

paragraph: In 1586 Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent a letter of thanks to his army in Chikuzen Province during the Kyūshū Campaign. It was addressed to several daimyō and generals who had succeeded in a great victory attacking a castle. One of the people he addressed was Hayashi Tosa-no-kami Narinaga (林土佐守就長) meaning at this time he held the title "Tosa-no-kami" (an honorary court office) but it is unknown when he had received it. In 1587 he was part of Mōri Terumoto's Mapping Committee (毛利輝元 惣国検地) which he worked with until 1591.

paragraph: In 1588 it is recorded that Hayashi Tosa-no-kami is promoted to the position where he receives direct orders from Hideyoshi on strategies in Kyūshū. The reason Hideyoshi chose Narinaga for this was because he held extensive knowledge of Kyūshū where his ancestors from the Kikuchi clan had ruled. This year Hideyoshi bestowed the Toyotomi uji (豊臣朝臣, "Toyotomi-no-asomi", courtier of Toyotomi) upon his closest followers including Narinaga. In July, 1588 of the same year Narinaga is given the new title of "Hizen-no-kami" (肥前守) in accordance with the Junior Fifth Rank, Junior Grade (Ju go-i-no-ge, 従五位下). The same month, Emperor Go-Yōzei visited Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mansion and the Sword hunt Edict was declared. Three years later in 1591 Mōri Terumoto began the construction of Hiroshima Castle.

paragraph: Section::::Hideyoshi's Korean Campaign (1592–1594).

paragraph: In April and December 1592 Narinaga was sent as an diplomatic envoy between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Mōri clan along with Ankokuji Ekei (安國寺惠瓊). One of the reasons they were sent was to deliver a letter of thanks from Hideyoshi to Mōri Terumoto for the hospitality he had received when he was visiting Hiroshima Castle

paragraph: Also this year, Hideyoshi ordered the Invasion of Korea. Narinaga was already 75 years old when he was sent to war across the Sea of Japan. There is a letter held at the Hiroshima Museum addressed to Mōri Terumoto from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and in it he expresses worry for his "old friend" Hayashi Hizen-no-kami who was old and at war.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement and death (1594–1605).

paragraph: In 1594 Hayashi Hizen-no-kami returned from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–98) after fighting for two years. He was 78 years old and requested retirement to Mōri Terumoto who accepted so Narinaga gave his son Motoyoshi Matsuoka Castle and built Aka Castle ("Aka-jō", 赤城) as a retirement castle. It may have been red because the name literally means "red castle". His son, Motoyoshi, received an annual stipend of 2,290 koku which was twice as much as the Hayashi clan had before they left to the Chōshū Domain. Narinaga took the life of a Buddhist monk and took the name Dōhan (道範). Today there are only ruins of Aka Castle with only the walls and moat remaining. It is measured that it was 480 meters by 57 meters in size and is considered a "yama-shirō" (mountain castle) or "residence hall".

paragraph: In September, 1597 Narinaga who was residing at Aka Castle rebuilt Hijiri Shrine (Hijiri-jinja, 聖神社) which had burned down. The shrine was near his retirement castle and Matsuoka Castle where his son lived. In front of the shrine which still stands today there are town stone dogs and one is believed to be donated by Narinaga. The next year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died at Fushimi Castle (伏見城) at the age of 63.

paragraph: After the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 both Matsuoka Castle and Aka Castle no longer belonged to the Hayashi clan who were transferred to Hiroshima Castle and Mihara Castle. Narinaga died on July 19, 1605 at the age of 89 (88 in Western counting) outliving most of his contemporaries of the Sengoku period. Where he is buried is unknown. The temple sacred to Narinaga today is Mannen-ji (萬年寺) in Kue, Aki Province (today Hiroshima Prefecture).

paragraph: Brad Harman

paragraph: Bradley Christopher Harman (born 19 November 1985) is an Australian professional baseball second baseman. He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Born Bradley Christopher Harman, he signed with the Phillies organisation in 2003 and debuted with the GCL Phillies the next year. At the end of the season he led shortstops with a .928 fielding percentage. Later that year he played for the Australian under-19 national team.

paragraph: In 2007, Harman hit .281 for Clearwater with 13 home runs. In the 2007 Baseball World Cup, he batted .275 and scored 11 runs in 10 games for Australia. He was one run behind the tournament leader, teammate Trent Oeltjen. Harman scored the 7th-inning go-ahead run against the Cuban national team in a game Australia lost, 3–2, in 10 innings. Harman sparked the winning rally in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Dutch national team closer Michiel van Kampen. Against Team Canada, Harman doubled in Luke Hughes with the go-ahead run in the 9th inning.

paragraph: Cecco d'Ascoli

paragraph: Cecco d'Ascoli (1257 – September 26, 1327) is the popular name of Francesco degli Stabili (sometimes given as Francesco degli Stabili Cichus), an Italian encyclopaedist, physician and poet. Cecco (in Latin, "Cichus") is the diminutive of Francesco, Ascoli was the place of his birth. The lunar crater Cichus is named after him.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Ancarano, in the modern Abruzzo region (at the time under the jurisdiction of Ascoli), he devoted himself to the study of mathematics and astrology. In 1322 he was made professor of astrology at the University of Bologna. It is alleged that he entered the service of Pope John XXII at Avignon, and that he cultivated the acquaintance of Dante only to quarrel with the great poet afterwards; but of this there is no evidence.

paragraph: Having published a commentary on the "Sphere" of John de Sacrobosco, in which he propounded audacious theories concerning the employment and agency of demons, he got into difficulties with the clerical party, and was condemned in 1324 to certain fasts and prayers, and to the payment of a fine of seventy crowns. To elude this sentence he went to Florence, where he was attached to the household of Carlo di Calabria. His freethinking and plain speaking had made him many enemies; he had attacked the "Commedia" of Dante, and the "Canzone d'amore" of Guido Cavalcanti. But according to Ernst Cassirer's The Individual and the Cosmos in Renaissance Philosophy, he died at the stake for his attempt to determine the nativity of Christ by reading his horoscope (page 107). The physician Dino del Garbo was indefatigable in pursuit of him; and the old accusation of impiety being renewed, Cecco was again tried and sentenced for relapse into heresy. He was burned at Florence the day after the sentence, in his seventieth year. He was the first university scholar to be burned by the Inquisition.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Cecco d'Ascoli left many works in manuscript, most of which have never been published. The book by which he achieved his renown and which led to his death was the "Acerba" (from "acervus"), an encyclopaedic poem, of which in 1546, the date of the last reprint, more than twenty editions had been issued. It is a compendium for the contemporary natural science of the time, including "the order and influences of the heavens, the characteristics and properties of animals and precious stones, the causes of phenomena such as meteors and earthquakes—and of commonplace moral philosophy".

paragraph: Peggy Hopkins Joyce

paragraph: Peggy Hopkins Joyce (born Marguerite Upton; May 26, 1893 – June 12, 1957) was an American actress, artist's model and dancer. In addition to her performing career, Joyce was known for her flamboyant life, with numerous engagements, six marriages to wealthy men, subsequent divorces, a series of scandalous affairs, a collection of diamonds and furs, and a generally lavish lifestyle.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born Marguerite Upton in 1893 in Berkley, Virginia (now part of Norfolk), she was known as Peggy. Upton left home at the age of 15 with a vaudeville bicyclist. While the two were en route to Denver via train, she met millionaire Everett Archer Jr. She dumped the bicyclist and in 1910 married Archer. Archer had the marriage annulled after six months when he discovered Joyce was underage. Joyce later claimed she divorced Archer because the life of a millionaire's wife "was not at all what I thought it would be, and I was bored to death." Using the settlement money she received from Archer, Joyce attended the private Chevy Chase School for Girls in Washington D. C., where she met Sherburne Hopkins. Hopkins was a lawyer and son of a prominent, wealthy lawyer. They were married on September 1, 1913, when she was 20 years old.

paragraph: Joyce left Hopkins in 1917 to pursue a career in show business in New York City. They eventually divorced in January 1920.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Joyce made her Broadway debut in 1917 in the "Ziegfeld Follies", followed by an appearance in the Shuberts' "A Sleepless Night". She later had an affair with producer Lee Shubert for a time.

paragraph: In 1920, she married her third husband, millionaire lumberman J. Stanley Joyce, and took his name. The newly married Mrs. Joyce drew attention for a $1 million shopping spree over the course of a week's time. By 1922, Joyce's romantic escapades had made her one of the most written-about women in the American press. She would grant any interview, sometimes receiving reporters in her bedroom while wearing a sheer negligee, sans undergarments. Cole Porter and Irving Berlin both used her name in their lyrics, "The New Yorker" magazine ran cartoons mentioning her, and comedians of the time, such as Will Rogers and Frank Fay could get a laugh by invoking her reputation.

paragraph: Due to her notoriety, Joyce caused a sensation with her performance in the 1923 installment of the annual "Earl Carroll's Vanities". She appeared in her second film, "The Skyrocket" (1926), which provoked the Wisconsin state legislature into introducing a bill to allow censorship of all movies entering the state. In any event, the film was a box office failure. In 1930, Joyce published a ghostwritten, "tell-all" book reputedly taken from her steamy diary entries. "Men, Marriage and Me" advised, "True love was a heavy diamond bracelet, preferably one that arrived with its price tag intact."

paragraph: In 1933, Joyce played herself in the ramshackle film, "International House", which contained some good-natured joshing about her love life.

paragraph: Joyce owned a jewel known as the Portuguese Diamond, one of the most expensive in the world, which she sold to Harry Winston. It is displayed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

paragraph: Recounting a meeting with Joyce in the late 1920s, Harpo Marx claimed that she was illiterate. But, she was credited with writing a column in the early 1930s for the spicy New York publication "Varieties" (not to be confused with the show business trade publication "Variety"). The column reported gossip about the hijinks and goings-on among public figures in both New York and London.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.:Marriages and affairs.

paragraph: Joyce was married six times and claimed to be engaged around fifty times.

paragraph: Joyce's first marriage was to millionaire Everett Archer Jr. in 1910. Archer had the marriage annulled later that year after he discovered that Joyce was underage. Her second marriage was to lawyer Sherburne Hopkins, the son of a prominent and wealthy lawyer. They were married in 1913. In 1917, Joyce left him to pursue a career. While traveling with the Ziegfeld show in 1919, she met wealthy Chicago lumberman J. Stanley Joyce. J. Stanley Joyce paid for Peggy's divorce from Hopkins. Their divorced was granted on January 21, 1920.

paragraph: Two days later, on January 23, Peggy and J. Stanley Joyce were married. On their wedding night, Peggy locked herself in the bathroom of the couple's hotel room and refused to come out until Joyce wrote her a check for $500,000. Within the year, she left Stanley Joyce for Parisian playboy and multimillionaire newspaper owner Henri Letellier. She sued J. Stanley Joyce for divorce and asked for $10,000 a month in alimony and attorney fees of $100,000. J. Stanley Joyce counter sued, claiming that she had married him only to defraud him of money. He also accused Peggy of having multiple adulterous affairs, being a bigamist (Stanley Joyce claimed that Peggy was not divorced from her first husband before she married her second, thus making their union invalid), and for having driven a United States Army lieutenant to suicide. J. Stanley Joyce's lawyer claimed the man shot himself in a Turkish bath after going broke trying to keep Peggy happy.

paragraph: During the couple's well publicized divorce trial in 1921, testimony revealed that J. Stanley had given Peggy Joyce a reported $1.4 million in jewelry, a $300,000 home in Miami, furs, cars, and other properties during their marriage. Joyce was awarded $600,000 in the divorce settlement. She was also allowed to keep all the jewelry she had acquired during the marriage, and was given stock in J. Stanley Joyce's lumber company that allotted her an annuity of $1,500 monthly for life.

paragraph: The media later reported that Joyce had eloped with Henri Letellier, but the two never married. She later said that she did not marry him because "Frenchmen understand women too well. A girl should never marry a man who understands women." After her third divorce, Joyce declared that she would never marry again.

paragraph: For the next few years, Joyce remained single but continued to have numerous affairs with such wealthy men as W. Averell Harriman, Prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark, Hiram Bloomingdale (son of Lyman G. Bloomingdale), Sayajirao Gaekwad III, Charlie Chaplin (who based part of his film "A Woman of Paris" on stories Joyce told him about her previous marriage), and film producer Irving Thalberg.

paragraph: In 1922, Joyce's affair with the attaché of the Chilean Legation, Guillermo "William" Errázuriz, drew media attention as he was the brother of the equally scandalous Blanca Errázuriz. The affair began while she was still in a relationship with Henri Letellier. Errázuriz was married with a child, but Joyce claimed he wanted to marry her. On May 1, 1922, Errázuriz shot himself in Joyce's Paris hotel room and died the following day. Joyce claimed that he committed suicide after she refused to marry him. Errázuriz's family claimed that he killed himself due to financial problems.

paragraph: Three days after Errázuriz's death, on May 4, Joyce was hospitalized after accidentally overdosing on sleeping pills. While she was recuperating, she gave an interview to a reporter claiming that she was "...through with men." Joyce went on to say that she was in love with William Errázuriz but admitted that she "...played with him. I dangled him on a string just as I did many others. Oh, why did I do it?" When asked why numerous men were seemingly fascinated by her, Joyce stated, "I don't know why men run after me. I cannot tell you the secret of my fascination. [...] I never meant to ruin their lives." Nine days after Errázuriz's death, another attaché of the Chilean Legation linked to Joyce, Lt. Rivas Muntt, attempted suicide by overdosing on Veronal. Muntt reportedly became despondent when Joyce spurned his advances and was found clutching a newspaper clipping of the interview in which Joyce declared her love for Errázuriz.

paragraph: Despite her declaration never to marry again, Joyce married Swedish Count Gösta Mörner on June 3, 1924. Joyce told the press that "All my other marriages meant nothing. This is the first time I have ever been truly in love." Count Mörner told reporters that Joyce would give up her career in order to be his wife. By the end of July 1924, Joyce had decided to resume her career and left Count Mörner. They divorced in February 1926. Joyce remained single for the next nineteen years but continued dating several wealthy men. In the early 1930s, she began an affair with Walter Chrysler, who was married at the time. Chrysler reportedly gave her $2 million in jewelry (including a 134-karat diamond necklace which cost a reported $500,000) and two Isotta Fraschinis – a canary yellow roadster and a Tipo 8B – worth $45,000. Joyce later had a relationship with British astronomy professor Charles Vivian Jackson. Jackson died in a sleighing accident when the couple were in St. Moritz in 1937. Joyce would later claim that Jackson was "the only man I ever loved."

paragraph: On December 3, 1945, Joyce married for the fifth time to consulting engineer Anthony Easton. The marriage made headlines when Joyce refused to include the word "obey" in the marriage vows. Although there is no record of a divorce, Joyce and Easton's union ended sometime before 1953.

paragraph: In 1953, Joyce married for the sixth and final time to Andrew C. Meyer. Meyer was described as a "retired official of the Bankers Trust Company". Meyer was actually a retired bank teller whom Joyce had met while he was working at a bank that she used. They remained married until Joyce's death in 1957.

paragraph: Section::::Later years and death.

paragraph: After marrying her sixth husband in 1953, Joyce moved to Woodbury, Connecticut, where she spent her remaining years. On June 1, 1957, she was admitted to Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases in New York City after being diagnosed with throat cancer. Joyce died there on June 12, 1957, at the age of 64.

paragraph: Joyce is buried at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York.

paragraph: Section::::References in pop culture.

paragraph: Her name was frequently incorporated into song lyrics of the 1920s and 1930s to invoke images of excess and naughtiness.

paragraph: For example:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "I've Got Five Dollars" by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart includes: "Peggy Joyce has a business/All her husbands have gold..."

paragraph: BULLET::::- In Cole Porter's "Why Shouldn't I?" (from "Jubilee"), referring to love, the Princess sings "Miss Peggy Joyce says it's good, and every star out in far Hollywood seems to give it a try, so why shouldn't I?"

paragraph: BULLET::::- In Cole Porter's "They Couldn't Compare to You" (from "Out of This World"), the god Mercury sings of his affairs with women real and fictional through history: "...When betwixt Nell Gwyn/And Anne Boleyn/I was forced to make my choice,/I became so confused/I was even amused/And abused by Peggy Joyce..."

paragraph: BULLET::::- Cole Porter's "Which" asks, "Should I make one man my choice/and regard divorce as treason/or should I like Peggy Joyce/have a new one every season?"

paragraph: BULLET::::- In Cole Porter's "Let's Not Talk About Love" from 1941's Let's Face It!, Maggie Watson sings, "I've always said men were simply deevine/(Did you know that Peggy Joyce was once a pupil of mine?)"

paragraph: BULLET::::- Eddie Cantor sang, "Take Peggy Joyce/With little voice/She soon became the nation's choice!/I tell you, buddy/She's made a study/Of makin' whoopee."

paragraph: BULLET::::- Zora Neale Hurston refers to Peggy Hopkins Joyce in her essay entitled "How It Feels To Be Colored Me". Hurston compares her own positive self-image to Joyce as "aristocratic" and declared that Joyce has "nothing on me".

paragraph: BULLET::::- In the 1925 novel "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", Anita Loos wrote, "And all of we girls remember the time when he was in the Ritz for luncheon and he met a gentleman friend of his and the gentleman friend had Peggy Hopkins Joyce to luncheon and he introduced Peggy Hopkins Joyce to Mr. Spoffard and Mr. Spoffard turned on his heels and walked away. Because Mr. Spoffard is a very very famous Prespyterian [sic] and he is really much too Prespyterian to meet Peggy Hopkins Joyce."

paragraph: BULLET::::- Arthur Train referred to her in his 1930 Wall Street novel "Paper Profits". Under the name of "Miss Boyce", she gives vapid sex lectures on the topic of "Why You *Should* Marry", and wiggles her torso a lot. This is one of several vignettes meant to show the wild side of life in the 1920s before the great Stock Market Crash of 1929.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In the 1934 film "Change of Heart", James Dunn says to Ginger Rogers in rebuffing her advances, "Peggy Joyce is after me! (straightening his tie) and that's only one".

paragraph: BULLET::::- In Damon Runyon's short story, "The Lily of St Pierre", when the narrator criticizes the quality of the hostesses in Good Time Charley Bernstein's speakeasies, Charley "admits that I may be right, but he says that it is very difficult to get any Peggy Joyces for twenty-five bobs per week".

paragraph: BULLET::::- In the 1932 film "Two Seconds", there are two references to Peggy Joyce. Bud Clark (Preston Foster) is setting up John Allen (Edward G Robinson) with a blind date. Bud: "She's got class, works in a laundry" John: "Well I hope she's got class" Bud: "Hey listen remember now, I aint promisin ya no Peggy Joyce". Later, Bud to John: "While we go chasing around tryin a find a Peggy Joyce for ya, what do you do? You go out and get yaself hog-tied to a dance hall dame".

paragraph: Giorgio da Sebenico

paragraph: Giorgio da Sebenico (; c. 1410 – 10 October 1473) was a Venetian sculptor and architect from Venetian Dalmatia, who worked mainly in Sebenico (now Šibenik, Croatia), and in the city of Ancona, then a maritime republic.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Giorgio da Sebenico was born from the Roman noble family of Orsini in the Dalmatian city of Zara (now Zadar, Croatia), which was part of the Republic of Venice (see Venetian Dalmatia).

paragraph: He emigrated to Venice during his youth, where he was probably trained as a sculptor in the workshop of Giovanni and Bartolomeo Bon, or at least worked with them as an independent associate. He would not have been awarded the great responsibility of the 1441 Šibenik contract without having experience of major works, and various attributions of surviving sculptures in Venice to him, as part of the Bon workshop, have been made, including the decorations on the Porta della Carta of the Doge's Palace. Anne Markham Schultz dismisses all previous suggestions as stylistically incompatible, but instead proposes the relief of "Saint Mark enthroned among members of the Confraternity of Saint Mark" in the lunette above the main entrance to the Scuola di San Marco, which she dates to 1437-1438 and finds close in style to Giorgio's later works at Šibenik and elsewhere. As his style here has few similarities to other works by the Bons, she considers it most likely that he worked with them when already a master, who had trained elsewhere. She believes his personal style offers few clues as to where this might have been.

paragraph: In 1441, when still resident in Venice, Giorgio was summoned to Šibenik in order to take charge of the construction of the Cathedral of St. James. He moved by the end of August, and in 1443 was awarded the title of master under the condition set in the contract with the procurators of the Cathedral to take up residence there for at least six years. On 1 September 1446 he agreed to extend his contract as chief architect for another ten years. Giorgio was granted permission to remain in Venice for two months every two years on condition that he did no work there except on his own house. He will work on the Cathedral from 1441 till 1473, although discontinuously because the work were interrupted several times for lack of funds and probably for a fire.

paragraph: In Venice he married Elisabetta Da Monte (daughter of Gregorio da Monte, a Venetian carpenter), who brought him as her dowry some houses in Venice. After 1450 he worked in both Ancona and Sebenico, with a period in Dubrovnik between June 1464 and November 1465, mostly working on the fortifications. He travelled to Rome in 1470-71. He is believed to have died in Sebenico on 10 October 1473.

paragraph: It is believed that his descendants inhabited Sebenico until the end of the 17th century.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: His work represents the golden age of Dalmatian medieval art. He was one of main artists of the Adriatic Renaissance, a tendency widespread during the late 15th century in Venice, Dalmatia and in some locations of the Italian Adriatic Coast, such as Ancona. According to Stanko Kokole, "Although his style was firmly based on the Venetian Late Gothic tradition, Giorgio was fascinated by the Florentine Renaissance, the influence of which is apparent in his figure sculptures." Influences and borrowings from many Florentine sculptors including Donatello, Ghiberti, Luca della Robbia, Niccolò Pizzolo, Antonio del Pollaiuolo, and Jacopo della Quercia can be detected in various works.

paragraph: His most beautiful achievement remains the Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik for which he was a chief architect from 1441 till 1473. The entire building was built solely of limestone from Istria, with no wood or bricks used in the structure. The building presents all along the perimeter a hedge composed of 72 stone-carved heads. On top of this hedge, and precisely on the North side, Giorgio added two angels; at the base of this work the artist engraved his signature. The task before him was to build the choir, of which foundations had not been laid, to raise and roof the nave which was only completed to the top of the aisle vaults, and to covering the crossing by a lantern or cupola.

paragraph: Unfortuately lack of funding and a fire delayed the achievement of the construction. From 1 July 1477 the work on the Cathedral of St. James was continued by an architect from Tuscany, Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino.

paragraph: In Split he built several palaces. In 1448 he carved a stone altar in the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, with a remarkable representation of the flagellation of Christ. In Dubrovnik he helped repairing the Duke's Palace and helped building the Minčeta fortress in 1464 and 1465. He also distincted himself as urbanist. Around 1450 he made an urban plan for Pag and contributed to the project and construction of Pelješac walls. He was at the same time sculptor, architect and urban planner, showing in this his belonging to the cultural climate and orientation of Renaissance.

paragraph: In Italy, he worked in Ancona where he built the Loggia dei Mercanti, the portal of San Francesco alle Scale and the portal of Sant'Agostino. During his career Renaissance style gradually replaced the Gothic, in line with the European tendency during the 15th century for Gothic to become more elaborate sophisticated, giving birth to the late Gothic style known in Venice as "Gotico Fiorito" and Flamboyant in France.

paragraph: Among his disciples, the most known are Andrea Alessi and Radmillo Allegretti, whose works are in Cattaro and Zara.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: At the feet of the two Renaissance putti by the north apse of Cathedral of St.James the artist signed in Latin: "hoc opus cuvarum fecit magister Georgius Mathaei Dalmaticus", and on a contract from 1441 he signed: "Georgius lapicida quondam Mathei de Jadra Civis Sibenicenis" ("trans." "Georgius sculptor son of Matheus from Zadar citizen of Šibenik"). Those are only known signatures of the artist.

paragraph: References to the artist are most common under the name Giorgio da Sebenico,

paragraph: and as Giorgio Orsini, particularly in Italian sources or in older English sources. There are also references to him as "Giorgio Dalmatico" or as "George the Dalmatian". He is rarely listed among Croatian sculptors in English-language sources. In Croatia, he is known under the Croatian name of "Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac". The family name of Orsini was never used by the artist and it was adopted by his son, after the death of his father.

paragraph: Glaser's inspiration for solo performance came while practicing improvisation in the early 1980s in San Diego in the company of Whoopi Goldberg, Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy. Sherry Glaser become well known when she played five different roles in "Family Secrets" in 1994. "Family Secrets" is a Broadway show that gives a portrait of five members of a Jewish family who migrated from New York to California in the 1980s. Glaser won numerous awards for her role in "Family Secrets".

paragraph: Glaser then played Ma and Miguel in her one-woman play, "Oh My Goddess!" Ma was depicted as the Great Jewish Mother of us all, reminding "us of the simple and sacred nature of life on earth". In 2004 Sherry collaborated with Thais Mazur on a theater/dance project called "Remember This (An Intimate Portrait of War through the Eyes of Women)" which debuted in Mendocino and then went on to San Francisco.

paragraph: Section::::Political activism.

paragraph: Section::::Political activism.:Breasts Not Bombs.

paragraph: Breasts Not Bombs is a grassroots political movement based in Mendocino County, California. The group focuses on the intersection between top-free equality and social justice through non-violent public protests involving street theatre and toplessness in order to bring attention to what they term the "immoral injustices of war.

paragraph: On November 8, 2005, Sherry Glaser and Renee Love, members of Breasts Not Bombs, went topless on the steps of the California State Capital to protest the policies of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. They were arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure, disorderly conduct and violation of the terms of their protest permit. If convicted, the women would have been required to register as sex offenders. In the court battle that followed their arrest, they argued that women should have the same right to go topless as men. In November 2008, the courts awarded the women $150,000. The court also required that California Highway Patrol officers assigned to the Capitol Protection Section be provided training in First Amendment rights of protesters.

paragraph: She comments on her website, "Their bare breasts were called 'indecent', so I thought, let's use this incident and our equal protection under the 14th Amendment to show what real freedom and decency look like. She realizes, words alone can be easily disregarded, but bodies are harder to ignore."

paragraph: On her website, Glaser has written that "It's ironic that Arnold Schwarzenegger can grope and molest women's bodies and become Governor yet we stand in power exercising our first amendment rights and we get arrested. I Protest! Sheba (my partner) and I have decided to continue with the demonstration and give it more of a theatrical atmosphere." Glaser began a political movement claiming breasts are not indecent, wars are. Glaser and others have been protesting topless in order to give public awareness to the deaths which occurred in the Iraq War. Glaser has her own website where she discusses her political actions and upcoming productions as well as making her weekly radio commentaries publicly available.

paragraph: Section::::Political activism.:Other activism.

paragraph: She was instrumental in a recent tsunami relief benefit which raised over $10,000, she has done benefits for women's shelters, environmental agencies, and the homeless, and she has taught workshops in radical emotional transformation and Organic Improvisational Theater.

He is the cousin of the group's remaining members Chauntelle DuPree, Stacy DuPree, Weston DuPree, and Sherri DuPree. At the time of Garron's arrival with the Texas-based indie-pop band, they were entering a phase of heavy touring in support of their debut album "Room Noises". Garron toured as Eisley's bassist beginning with the group's 2005 Yahoo sponsored "Who's Next?" tour, followed closely by 2005's Austin City Limits festival and closing out the year with Switchfoot's "Nothing Is Sound" tour. Eisley continued touring throughout 2006, visiting Australia in support of Taking Back Sunday, touring the United States with supporting band Dawes for their first major headlining tour, as well as touring Europe. Garron's bass work with Eisley began on their second full-length record, Combinations, and has remained the sole bassist on the remainder of Eisley's recordings to date. In 2013, Garron expanded his repertoire when he joined Say Anything as their bassist, replacing touring bassist Adam Siska. His bass work has been said to be inspired by Radiohead, Kent, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and Matt Rubano, among others.

paragraph: DuPree has additionally become known as a recording engineer in more recent years, beginning commercially with his work on Eisley's fourth studio LP, "Currents". Most notably, he is known for his engineering work on that album, as well as Merriment's debut album, "Sway", and Say Anything's sixth studio album "Hebrews".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Currents" 2012-2013.

paragraph: DuPree began work alongside Eisley band member Weston DuPree and technician Mark Schwartzkopf in the design and building of Eisley's own studio after the group's departure from Warner Brothers Records in 2011. The studio was designed, in early 2012, and construction began that April. Upon its completion, the group immediately the production and recording of their fourth full-length record.

paragraph: Production continued throughout the remainder of the year, marking Eisley's most extensive length of time spent recording a single album since their inception. Production was paused once, to accommodate the group's "Mid-Summer Tour" in June–July 2012. The recording process was finished by late October 2012, and final arrangements were completed before mix engineer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Larson mixed and mastered the album. "Currents" was released on May 28, 2013 to almost unanimously positive reviews - peaking at #66 on the Billboard 200 charts, making it the group's highest charting album to date.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Sway" 2013.

paragraph: Following the recording of "Currents", Garron was brought in to engineer the debut album by the group Merriment. The record was produced by Charlie Brand, front-man for the indie-pop group Miniature Tigers. Production of the record was completed within two weeks, and was recorded at Eisley's studio in Tyler, TX. DuPree was credited as Engineer for the album, and also contributed his bass guitar skills on the track "Patterns." He also performed the strings on the track "Right Again."

paragraph: "Sway" was released on April 8, 2014. The record reached #3 on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts, and received generally positive reviews for the band's debut release.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:"Hebrews" 2013-2014.

paragraph: "Hebrews'', the sixth studio album by American pop-punk band Say Anything, was recorded and engineered by DuPree in Tyler, TX throughout late 2013 and early 2014. DuPree also is credited for all of the bass work on the album. DuPree officially joined Say Anything as a bassist in 2013 and quickly adapted to a more punk-rock influenced role. DuPree also embarked on tour with the group in summer 2014 in support of "Hebrews". The tour was included openers The Front Bottoms, the So-So Glo's, and You Blew It!, and was said to be among the group's most successful tours to date.

paragraph: DuPree's work on "Hebrews" represents his first recorded venture into the indie-punk/pop-punk style characterized by Say Anything. Previously Garron's work was focused on the more whimsical style of his primary work in Eisley, featuring slower, more melodically focused bass rhythms working in tandem with the accent-rich drumming of the group.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Touring.

paragraph: According to Garron's official website, he played "over 600 live shows, in over 340 venues, across 166 different cities, in 4 different countries" as of 2015.

paragraph: Ambarisha

paragraph: Ambarisha (, ), in Hindu mythology, was an Ikshvaku king and son of Mandhatri. He is believed to have conquered the whole world in a week. He lived in Treta Yuga.

paragraph: Section::::"Bhagavata Purana" legend.

paragraph: According to the Bhagavata Purana, he was a great devotee of Vishnu and adhered firmly to the truth. He performed a "yaga" with such great devotional fervour that Lord Narayana was pleased to bless him with Sudarshana Chakra ("Sudarshana" meaning "good vision") and which manifested as a wheel of prosperity, peace and security to his kingdom. Once, Ambarisha performed the "Dvadashi Vrata", which required that the king must start a fast on Ekadashi and break it at the start of Dvadasi and feed all the people. As the moment of breaking the fast was drawing near, the mighty sage Durvasa arrived and was received with all honours by Ambarisha. Durvasa agreed to the king's request to be his honoured guest, and asked the king to wait until he finished his bath in the river and returned. As the auspicious moment approached when the king had to break his fast to fulfil the vow of the "vrata", Durvasa did not turn up. On the advice of the sage Vasishta, the king broke his fast by taking a Tulasi leaf with water, and waited for the arrival of sage Durvasa to offer him food.

paragraph: Durvasa, who was well known for his short temper, felt that Ambarisha had violated the respect due to a guest by breaking his fast before the guest had taken his meal, and in his rage created a demon to kill Ambarisha, out of a strand of his hair. Lord Narayana's Sudarshana intervened, destroyed the demon and started chasing Durvasa himself. Durvasa went to Brahma and Shiva for protection. Both pleaded their inability to save him. He went to Lord Narayana himself, who said that he could do nothing as he was bound by the blemishless devotion of Ambarisha and suggested to the sage to seek the pardon of the king. Durvasa went to Ambarisha, who prayed to Lord Vishnu to recall the Sudarsana and save Durvasa.

paragraph: Section::::"Ramayana" legend.

paragraph: The Ramayana contains a variation of an "Aitareya Brahmana" legend about the king Harishchandra. In the Ramayana version, the king is named Ambarisha, instead of Harishchandra. According to this legend, Ambarisha was once engaged in a horse sacrifice at his capital Ayodhya. During this ceremony, his animal-victim was stolen by Indra. The priest conducting the ceremony told the king that he needed to find the animal, or perform a human sacrifice to avert the misfortune resulting from the situation. After being unable to find the animal, the king bought Shunahshepa, the son of a sage, for the sacrifice. Shunahshepa survived the sacrifice by reciting two hymns that the sage Vishwamitra had given him.

paragraph: Albert H. Taylor

paragraph: Albert Hoyt Taylor (January 1, 1879 in Chicago, IL – December 11, 1961 in Los Angeles, CA) was an American electrical engineer who made important early contributions to the development of radar.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Taylor entered Northwestern University in 1896. In 1899 he was employed by Western Electric Co. He returned to Northwestern in 1900, lacking only one semester of graduating when lack of funds forced him to accept a position as an instructor at Michigan State College. He was awarded his bachelor of science degree by Northwestern University in 1902. He taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1903-1908 before going to Germany for his graduate studies, receiving a Ph.D. degree from the University of Göttingen in 1909. He then joined the faculty at the University of North Dakota, where he built an experimental radio station and studied antennas and wave propagation. He continued in this capacity until 1917.

paragraph: On March 13, 1917, Taylor was appointed Lieutenant, US Naval Reserve Force, Provisional and assigned to the 9th, 10th and 11th Naval Districts, Great Lakes, IL through Oct. 12, 1917. Upon the outbreak of the war, he was assigned duty as District Communications Officer, Ninth Naval District, Goat Lake, Ill. He was Director, Naval Communications, Washington, D.C., until Oct. 17, 1917. He was Communication Superintendent, Naval Radio Station, Belmar, NJ, until July 25, 1918. He was appointed to head an experimental division of the Naval Air Station in Hampton Roads, VA where research on aircraft radio was undertaken through Sept. 30, 1918. He then became head of the Aircraft Radio Laboratory at Naval Air Station, Anacostia, Washington, DC. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander, U. S. Naval Reserve Force, on June 8, 1918, and to Commander, US Naval Reserve Force, on Nov. 14, 1918. He resigned from active Navy duty in 1922, but remained as a civilian employee.

paragraph: In the fall of 1922, Taylor and Leo C. Young were conducting communication experiments at the Aircraft Radio Laboratory when they noticed that a wooden ship in the Potomac River was interfering with their signals; in effect, they had demonstrated the first continuous wave (CW) interference detector. The next year the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) was founded and Taylor became head of its Radio Division. In the early 1930s, the idea of pulsing a transmitter to provide both detection and range measurement occurred to Taylor and Young, as it had to German and British scientists. Taylor instructed an assistant, Robert Morris Page to construct a working prototype; this was demonstrated in December 1934, detecting an airplane at a distance of one mile. By 1937, his team had developed a practical shipboard radar that became known as CXAM radar, a technology very similar to that of Britain's Chain Home radar system.

paragraph: In 1929 Taylor was President of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE), and from 1936 to 1942 he served on the Communication Committee of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Both of these organizations were predecessors to what is now the IEEE.

paragraph: Taylor remained at NRL until his retirement in 1948. He died in 1961, a few weeks before his 83rd birthday.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1927 – Morris Liebmann Memorial Prize from the IRE, for research on short waves

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1942 – IRE Medal of Honor, for "contributions to radio communication as an engineer and organizer, including pioneering work in the practical application of piezoelectric control to radio transmitters, early recognition and investigation of skip distances and other high-frequency wave-propagation problems, and many years of service to the government of the United States as an engineering executive of outstanding ability in directing the Radio Division of the Naval Research Laboratory"

paragraph: BULLET::::- 1944 – On March 28, the first Medal for Merit from the U.S. Government (together with John C. Garand), for his contributions to "the discovery and development of radar".

On several monuments he appears together with co-regent Queen Amanitore. The relationship between the two is not clear: she might have been his wife, or his mother who served as his regent while he was still young. However, it is known that during the co-reign, they had almost equal rights as depicted in several temple sculptures. At the temple of Apedemak there is a relief showing him with his successor Arikhankharer.

paragraph: Natakamani was preceded by Amanishakheto and succeeded by queen Amanitore.
