categories: British pharmacists,Herbalists,18th-century English people

paragraph: Mother Hutton

paragraph: Mother Hutton was an 18th-century British pharmacist and herbalist responsible for the discovery of digitalis and its essential use in the curing of heart problems.

paragraph: She is sometimes referred to as Mrs. Hutton, Old mother Hutton and "the old woman from Shropshire". As her last name alludes, she hailed from Shropshire, England. She was a successful practitioner of general medicine but became most famous for her ability to treat heart disease, kidney troubles and dropsy. She discovered the usefulness of the foxglove plant ("Digitalis purpura") in treating the above. She experimented with the foxglove until she worked it out to a science. She added it and a variety of other herbs to a specially brewed tea, which she gave out as a remedy to those who needed it.

paragraph: One of her most famous success stories was with the Dean of Brazen Nose College of Oxford University, Dr. Cauley in 1776. He came to her with a severe case of Dropsy which was a condition in which liquid built up in the tissue due to an inability of the heart and kidneys to remove it. During the 18th century this was considered a fatal disease. She successfully cured him.

paragraph: William Withering heard of this successful case and started to pursue Mother Hutton in order to find out the ingredients of her secret tea recipe. In 1785 he persuaded her to sell it to him and upon discovering that it was the foxglove which was the key, he published a paper called "An Account of the Foxglove and Some of Its Medical Uses" which has ever since, caused his name to be associated with the discovery of digitalis as opposed to hers.

paragraph: In reality 'Mother Hutton' was created in 1928 in an illustration by William Meade Prince as part of an advertising campaign by Parke-Davis who marketed Digitalis preparations. There is no mention of a Mother Hutton in Withering's works and no mention of him meeting any old woman directly - he is merely asked to comment on a family recipe that was long kept secret by 'An Old woman IN Shropshire'. That is all that Withering says and so all that can ever be known as fact about the old woman. Since 1928, Mother Hutton's status has grown from being an image in an advertising poster to an acclaimed Wise Woman, Herbalist, Pharmacist and Medical Practitioner in Shropshire who was cheated out of her true recognition by Dr. Withering's unscrupulous methods. Withering was in fact informed of the Brazen Nose College case by one of his medical colleagues (Dr Ash) and the Dean was treated with Digitalis Root not the Leaves which Withering recommended. This myth of Mother Hutton has been created by authors not going back to primary sources but instead simply copying and then embellishing the work of others. One book even has Withering chasing round the countryside twice, once seeking a Gypsy Woman and then a Herbalist, both with secret recipes - simply because the author read two different versions of the story and did not realise they were different versions of the same fake tale. See "Withering and The Foxglove; the making of a myth" by D.M. Krikler Br Heart J 1985 54: 256-257.

paragraph: The four references below were all written over 200 years after Witherings book was published and none contain a contemporary primary reference that supports any of the information above.

paragraph: Date Chikamune

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Chikamune was the eldest son of Date Narimura. His childhood name was Masachiyo (政千代). His mother, Nobuko, was the daughter of the "kampaku" Takatsukasa Sukehira, thus making Chikamune the second cousin of Emperor Kōkaku. His mother died shortly after his birth due to complications with the pregnancy, and both his grandfather and father followed during the same year, leaving the infant Chikamune as "daimyō" of Sendai. Normally, this would be cause for the Tokugawa shogunate to appoint a "metsuke" to oversee the domain until his majority, or could even be a cause of attainder, so the domain's officials kept the fact of Date Narimura's death a secret for several months until the succession was confirmed. In the same year, the infant Chikamune was wed to Aya-hime, a daughter of "shōgun" Tokugawa Ienari. During this period, his grandmother, Kanshin-in, wielded great influence.

paragraph: In 1797, Sendai was beset by the largest peasant revolt in its history. The causes were various, and included opposition to reforms initiated during the rule of Date Narimura, and the rebels included 61 upper-ranked samurai and more than 2000 lower-ranked samurai. Aya-hime also died during the same year.

paragraph: In 1805, Kanshin-in died, and her influence was replaced by that of Chikamune's great-grandmother. In 1806, Chikamune was wed to Aya-hime's younger sister, Asa-hime, thus securing the connection between the Date clan and the Tokugawa, and in 1807, the retired "rōjū" Matsudaira Sadanobu spent four months in Sendai to oversee affairs. In 1808, the shogunate assigned Sendai Domain to secure the northern frontier of Japan at Hakodate, Iturup and Kunashir against increasing incursions by Russia. The domain dispatched 1700 troops to these areas.

paragraph: In 1809, Chikamune contracted smallpox, Although he survived the disease, he was left disfigured to the extent that his appearance at any official function was deemed inappropriate. His younger half-brother, Tokusaburō (Date Narimune) was adopted as his heir in 1812. Chikamune died a two months later at the age of 17. His grave is at the Zuihoden in Sendai.

paragraph: His wife later remarried to Matsudaira Naritsugu, "daimyō" of Fukui Domain.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Father: Date Narimura

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mother: Takatsukasa Nobuko (1775–1796)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Wives:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Aya-hime (1795–1797), daughter of Tokugawa Ienari

paragraph: BULLET::::- Asahime (1803–1843), daughter of Tokugawa Ienari

paragraph: Section::::Controversy over death.

paragraph: Chikamune was not seen in public after he contracted smallpox on 4 January 1806 and died of unknown causes two months after the appointment of Date Narimune as his successor. This has led many historians to postulate that Chikamune may have actually died in 1806, and that his death was kept a secret from the authorities. Sendai Domain had been in danger of attainder ever since the death of Date Narimura, and this had been avoided largely through a marriage tie with Shogun Tokugawa Ienari. The death of Chikamune without heir would have voided this arrangement.

paragraph: Date Narimune

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Narimune was the posthumous second son of Date Narimura; his mother was a concubine and he was born at the clan's Sodegasaki residence in Edo. His childhood name was Norisaburō (徳三郎) later Shōjirō (総次郎). In 1804, he was moved to the clan’s primary residence in Edo, and he came down with chickenpox the same year, but recovered. In 1809, his elder half-brother, Date Chikamune was highly disfigured by smallpox, and went into seclusion until his death in 1812. During this period, Narimune appeared in all official functions in his place. He was adopted as Chikamune’s heir in 1812, and changed his name to Date Munezumi. Later that same year, after Chikamune died, he was received in formal audience by "shōgun" Tokugawa Ienari, who presided over his "genpuku" ceremony, and who granted him a "kanji" from his name. He also received the Court rank of Junior Fourth, Lower Grade and courtesy titles of "Mutsu-no-kami" and "Sakonoe-shōshō" as had been held by his father. In 1814, he was wed to the daughter of Tokugawa Harutomi, "daimyō" of Kii Domain.

paragraph: He fell ill in June 1819 and died a month later at the age of 22. As he had no male heir, the son of Tamura Murasuke, "daimyō" of Ichinoseki Domain was posthumously adopted as his heir.

paragraph: Date Nariyoshi

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Nariyoshi was the grandson of Date Yoshimura, the 5th "daimyō" of Sendai; his father was Tamura Murasuke, the "daimyō" of Ichinoseki Domain. He was born in Edo as the 4th son of Murasuke, and his childhood name was Kichigorō (吉五郎). Shortly after his birth, his father retired, and turned the domain over to Tamura Muneaki.

paragraph: In 1812, he underwent his "genpuku" ceremony and took the name of Tamura Akiyoshi. Tamura Muneaki declined to adopt him as heir as expected, and although the young Akiyoshi was sent to Ichinoseki, he was not given any official title or duties. A turning point came in 1819, when he was called to Aoba Castle. The sudden death of Date Narimune placed Sendai Domain in a very precarious position vis-a-vis the Tokugawa shogunate. Date Narimune, and his predecessor, Date Chikamune, had both died without heirs and the shogunate had taken extraordinary measures to ensure the continuation of the Date line; however, a third instance in such a short period of time placed the domain in danger of attainder. Akiyoshi was betrothed to Narimune's three-year-old daughter, Shiba-hime, and took the name of Date Muneyoshi. He was proclaimed 11th Date "daimyō" of Sendai, and was received in formal audience by "shōgun" Tokugawa Ienari three months later. During this audience, he was granted a "kanji" from Ienari's name to become Date Nariyoshi. He was granted the Court rank of Junior Fourth, Lower Grade and courtesy title of "Mutsu-no-kami".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Narikuni was the son of Date Munemitsu of the Tome-Date clan, a subsidiary branch of the main Date can, and was the grandson of Date Yoshimura, the 5th "daimyō" of Sendai. His childhood name was Kōgorō (幸五郎) later Tosaburō (藤三郎) and become Sojirō (総次郎).

paragraph: In 1828, with the death of Date Nariyoshi, Sendai Domain faced a major crisis. His son, the future Date Yoshikuni was only two-years-old. The Tokugawa shogunate had taken extraordinary measures to ensure the continuation of the Date line in the case of his predecessors Date Chikamune and Date Narimune; however, the patience of "shōgun" Tokugawa Ienari had worn thin over Sendai Domain succession problems, and the domain faced the possibility of attainder. The "rōjū", Mizuno Tadaakira, proposed a solution whereby Nariyoshi’s 4-year-old daughter, Masahime would be married to Date Narikuni, who would then become "daimyō" of Sendai. Date Narikuni would then adopted the infant Date Yoshikuni as his heir. Events went as planned and in 1828 Narikuni received Court rank of Junior Fourth, Lower Grade and the courtesy title of "Mutsu-no-kami". His ranks were raised to Junior Fourth, Upper Grade and "Sakonoe-chūshō" in 1831.

paragraph: Narikuni was noted for his scholarly disposition and knowledge of literature. However, during the "sankin-kōtai" to Edo in 1840 he fell ill, and died in Edo the following year at the age of 25.

paragraph: Gigla Janashia

paragraph: Gigla Janashia (Georgian: გიგლა ჯანაშია; 27 September 1927 – 27 April 2005,Born in Tbilisi) was a Georgian mathematician. He was the key author of Janashia-Lagvilava matrix spectral factorization (MSF) method. The major recognition of his achievements came after Janashia’s death, when the USPTO granted the patent to this method and its applications, which is extremely rare for pure mathematicians.

paragraph: Section::::Education and Academic Life.

paragraph: Janashia graduated from the Mathematics Department of the Tbilisi State University in 1951 and continued his postgraduate studies at the Moscow State University. While being in Moscow in 1952-1955 he became popular among mathematician circles of his generation as a distinguished member of the Gelfand seminar. After returning in Georgia, Janashia continued research at the Razmadze Mathematical Institute, where he has established a thematic seminar on “Boundary Value Problems for Analytic Functions”. Janashia earned a Candidate of Science degree in 1965. He also actively participated to establish the Special Mathematical High School in Tbilisi, 1962. During his lifetime, Janashia published several important papers. He mentored a whole generation of young mathematicians at RMI including his doctoral students.

paragraph: Section::::Research Achievements.

paragraph: A man of challenges, Janashia began investigating on possible improvements of the Wiener’s matrix factorization method (also known as the Wiener-Hopf factorization or spectral factorization), having no guarantee that such improvements would even be feasible. He knew that such factorization was already highly used for major industrial applications in the West since the Wiener’s time. Therefore, an essentially improved solution of the MSF problem would have a significant practical value. Due to the closed academic environment of the USSR, Janashia was not aware that many scientific groups, mostly engineers, had been working to improve the solution to the same problem in the West.

paragraph: Along with a small group of graduate students, following around 15 years period of research efforts, during which he did not make a single publication, Janashia arrived at a general and remarkably simplified solution of the MSF problem. He only partially published his discovery due to the impossibility of acquiring any commercial rights of the invention in the recently collapsed Soviet Union. Initially, Janashia’s solutions did not attract much attention in the Western academics, since his approach was completely outside of the existing scholarly framework as well as not fully published. Regardless the official support to his venture granted by famous mathematicians that have moved early to the West, such as S.P. Novikov and A.V. Skorokhod, Gigla Janashia died in 2005 without an appropriate international recognition of his method.

paragraph: Section::::Ad Mortem Recognition.

paragraph: The major recognition of his achievement came after Janashia’s death, when a patent application for an innovative method of MSF has been submitted via University of Maryland in 2009 and his papers appeared in respectable scientific journals. Namely the MSF became a decisive step in non-parametric estimations of Granger Causality, which is an important computational tool for neuroscientists in a study of the brain activity including epilepsy curing methods. The Janashia-Lagvilava-Ephremidze algorithm for MSF substituted existing Wilson’s MSF algorithm widely circulated in neuroscientist’s community. The method can also be used to factorize specific matrices (non-rational, singular, large scale, depending on a parameter) which was not possible before in spite of the long history of the problem. Other modern applications of the algorithm in Economics, Control Engineering and Wireless Communications are still under investigation.

paragraph: Max Kalish

paragraph: Max Kalish (March 1, 1891 – 1945) was American sculptor born in Valozhyn, Belarus, and best known for his sculptures of laborers.

paragraph: His Orthodox Jewish family emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio in 1893, when he was two years old.

paragraph: He studied with Herman Matzen at the Cleveland School of Art; in New York City with Herbert Adams at the National Academy of Design, and in the studios of Alexander Stirling Calder and Isidore Konti; and in Paris with Paul Wayland Bartlett at the Académie Colorossi, and Jean Antoine Injalbert at the École des Beaux-Arts.

paragraph: His best known work is his 1932 statue of Abraham Lincoln in Cleveland, Ohio.

paragraph: Washington, D.C. publisher Willard M. Kiplinger commissioned Kalish to create fifty portrait statuettes of prominent figures in World War II era politics, arts and sciences. Kiplinger donated the statuettes to the Smithsonian Institution in 1944.

paragraph: Kalish was the author of "Labor Sculpture", largely a collection of photographs of his statues of workers. Most of the works in the book are in a Social realism style. Critic Emily Genauer wrote in 1938, "It is the workmen who dominate the American scene, and who have become as surely symbolic of their time as the pioneers in covered wagons, and the robber barons and the great merchant princes were in there respective eras." This was what Kalish portrayed in his art.

paragraph: In 1939, Kalish lived in New York City and summered in Cleveland.

paragraph: Danger (musician)

paragraph: Franck Rivoire, known by his stage name Danger, is a French electronic musician.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:History.

paragraph: Rivoire's musical history started at an early age, when his parents introduced him to the piano and saxophone. Growing up, he played in both jazz and punk bands, and other interests included skateboarding and metal music. Rivoire got his first synthesizer after seeing a friend use one and convincing his parents to buy one for him, too. His interest in electronic music was pursued further when he began using Amiga and Atari computers to make chiptunes, a hobby that he still practices.

paragraph: Before he started using the name "Danger", Rivoire trained to be a graphic designer and worked as one professionally. When not working, he practiced digital music production. His track "11h30" was created during this time and contains his own vocals, but no lyrics; the vocals instead consist of mixed-up syllables.

paragraph: In an effort to modernize the sound of his music, Rivoire created some new electro-influenced tracks and uploaded them onto MySpace under the name Danger. He chose the moniker because he had previously used it for online chat clients and believed he would get free advertising as "danger" is such a commonly used word. In 2007, he signed to the label Ekler'o'shock because he enjoyed the music of its other artists such as DatA. There have since been four Danger EP's released on Ekler'o'shock as well as a number of remixes released both officially and otherwise.

paragraph: In 2013, the French music blog Stop the Noise published 70+ leaked demos ranging from 2005-2007 in an article titled in French: "LEVEL0: Discover the Danger demos from 2005 to 2007." Some of the tracks included the original version of 1:30 titled 15:59 as well as 13:40, an unreleased remix of the Masterboy song Feel the Heat of the Night. The blog immediately took the article down out of respect for Danger and the label Ekler'o'shock.

paragraph: In June 2014, Danger unveiled a new side project, Sunset, playing live at Parisian nightclub, Nouveau Casino.

paragraph: On June 3, 2016, 2016 Danger posted a link via Facebook to a Bandcamp page titled "6:24". The song was used for the video game Furi in which Danger contributed a total of five songs. The full OST was released on July 5, 2016.

paragraph: On November 7, 2016, Danger announced his new album 太鼓 (taiko) for his 10-year anniversary. In an interview with Nest HQ, Danger mentions that "太鼓 is loaded with childhood feelings and many emotions that were almost absent from my past releases." The album is a hybrid of eastern and western music between 80's retro and more contemporary sounds.

paragraph: In November 2016, Danger was featured as an opening act for Porter Robinson and Madeon's Shelter Live Tour.

paragraph: On the 9th of May, Danger announced that his album 太鼓 (taiko) will be released on June 2.

paragraph: On the 22nd of December 2018, Danger announced that his second album Origins will be released on 18th of January 2019.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Idiosyncrasies.

paragraph: Each Danger EP is named after a date following the first one, "09/14 2007" (September 14, 2007), which is the day he finished the EP. These EPs have not been released in chronological order; in fact, "EPII" has been promoted on his MySpace since the release of the first EP, but has yet to be released, and "09/16 2007" and "09/17 2007" are actually EPIII and EPIV, respectively. This strange chronology is a reference to that of the Star Wars film series.

paragraph: Danger's tracks are named after the time of the day when the track was finished — "11h30" being the French representation for 11:30, for instance — except for the track "88:88", which is a reference to a digital clock that is not plugged in.

paragraph: Another unique Danger characteristic is the black mask that he wears during nearly all of his public appearances. It is inspired by both the band Daft Punk and the Black Mage character from the video game series Final Fantasy. He claims to wear the mask in order to differentiate between his shy "geek" self and the persona he takes while performing.

paragraph: Rivoire has also mentioned that his MySpace background strobed intensively as a reference to the Pokémon episode Electric Soldier Porygon and joked that he thought it would be funny if someone got an epileptic attack from it, saying, "especially if they have a fast PC it adds a bit of insult to the injury." Due to the 2013 Myspace re-design, the background no longer strobes.

paragraph: Guaifer of Salerno

paragraph: Guaifer (also "Guaifar", "Waifer", "Waifar", or "Guaiferio") (c. 835 – 880) was the Prince of Salerno from 861. The son of Daufer the Mute and grandson of Daufer the Prophet, he was the first of the Dauferidi to sit on the Salernitan throne which his family dominated unobstructed until 977.

paragraph: Guaifer's sister, Adelchisa, had married Sicard of Benevento and when Sicard was assassinated and Radelchis usurped the throne, Guaifer helped release Siconulf, the dead prince's brother, and supported him in his war with Radelchis for the throne, even proclaiming him prince in Salerno. In 851, the great principality of Benevento was officially divided between Benevento and Salerno by the Emperor Louis II. Siconulf's son and successor fell under the control of Peter, who, in December 853, received Louis's recognition as prince. He was succeeded by his son Adhemar, but the latter's rule was unpopular and by 859, Capua, a Salernitan vassal desiring independence, was wearing away at princely authority with its attacks. In 861, matters came to a head and Guaifer leading a popular revolt, removed Adhemar and imprisoned him, blinding him later. To solidify his own position he exiled his own nephew, another Daufer. This was all seen as rebellion by the Emperor Louis, but he was occupied elsewhere.

paragraph: At the beginning of his reign, a restive Capua, which had gone through several internal upheavals, under the gastald or count Landulf II made a move for independence, but Guaifer kept them securely in the Salernitan fold. Nonetheless, Guaifer married Landelaica, daughter of Lando I of Capua, by whom he had a son, Guaimar, who succeeded him. In 865, Guaifer founded the monastery of San Massimo, where he and his descendants are buried, and in 868, he richly endowed it with grants in land and money. Despite his status as a Christian prince, he was not usually at war with the Moslems and may even have been their "foedus" for a time (according to Erchempert). They besieged his city in 871–872, but to no avail. He retired to or was forced by his son into the monastery of Monte Cassino in 880, but died very soon after.

paragraph: Percy Noble (Royal Navy officer)

paragraph: Admiral Sir Percy Lockhart Harnam Noble, GBE, KCB, CVO (16 January 1880 – 25 July 1955) was a Royal Navy officer who served in both World Wars.

paragraph: Noble rose to the rank of Admiral and was Commander-in-Chief, Western Approaches for two crucial years during the Second World War, before being posted to the United States as Head of the RN Admiralty Delegation.

paragraph: Section::::Naval career.

paragraph: The son of an Indian Army officer, Colonel Charles Noble and Anne "née" Hay, he was educated at Edinburgh Academy, before being commissioned in the Royal Navy on 15 January 1894.

paragraph: Promoted as Lieutenant on 1 April 1902, Noble was posted to the battleship HMS "Hannibal" serving in the Channel Fleet. He served in the Grand Fleet during the First World War. From 1918 to 1925 he commanded the cruisers HMS "Calliope" and HMS "Calcutta" and then the battleship HMS "Barham" before being appointed Senior Naval Officer, Harwich in 1925. He then commanded the HMS "St Vincent" based at Forton, Gosport from 1927. He was appointed Director of Operations Division at the Admiralty in 1928. He was then Director of Naval Equipment from 1931 before returning to sea in command of the 2nd Cruiser Squadron in 1932. He then returned to the Admiralty as Fourth Sea Lord in 1935, before returning as Commander-in-Chief, China Station in 1938.

paragraph: On his return to London, Admiral Noble was appointed Commander-in-Chief, Western Approaches, headquartered at Derby House, Liverpool, during a period stretching from early 1941 to November 1942. His work in reorganising escort groups, and revamping escort training methods are widely regarded as having been crucial foundational elements of the eventual success of the Allied navies in the Atlantic theatre. Noble was remembered by those who worked with him at Derby House as an easy-going commander, and an agreeable person to work with. Always conciliatory, Noble was an expert at building consensus around his chosen courses of action. Noble was, although not forced, certainly pushed out of Western Approaches to make room for Admiral Sir Max Horton, whose combative personality and experience in the submarine service made him the ideal candidate in the eyes of some to take the war to the U-boats.

paragraph: He succeeded Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham as Head of the British Naval Delegation to Washington DC in 1942, before retiring from active naval service in 1945. By way of recognition, Noble was granted the title of Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom (an honorary appointment) on 19 June 1945.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Noble married, in 1907, Diamantina Isabella, only daughter of Allan Campbell. She died in 1909, having one son ("qv." Sir Allan Noble MP). He married secondly, in 1913, Celia Emily ("later" Lady Noble), daughter of Robert Kirkman Hodgson DL and Lady Norah "née" Boyle, having another son, Charles Noble.

paragraph: Nicolas-Joseph Thiéry de Menonville

paragraph: Nicolas-Joseph Thiéry de Menonville (Saint-Mihiel, France, 18 June 1739 – Port-au-Prince, Saint-Domingue, 1780), "avocat" at the "Parlement of Paris", was a French botanist who volunteered to be sent to Mexico in 1776 to steal the cochineal insect valued for its scarlet dye. In his clandestine bioprospecting piracy, he worked without official papers and would have been ruthlessly treated had he been caught. He succeeded in naturalizing the insect and the prickly pear ("Opuntia") "nopal" cactus on which it depended in the French colony of Saint-Domingue.

paragraph: His colorful "Voyage à Guaxaca" (Oaxaca) narrates his adventure, in which he played upon the smugness and venality of the colonial Spanish. After arriving in Saint Domingue, he obtained papers identifying him as a botanizing physician and declared himself in search of the botanicals necessary for his treatment of gout. He herbalized in Havana, awaiting transport to Mexico, and on his arrival in Veracruz in January 1777, endeared himself locally by identifying the "true" jalap – a useful drug that was imported expensively, even though locally abundant. Sensing that something was wrong, the viceroy ordered him to leave, unwilling "to open to strangers the secrets of the country". Thiéry de Menonville, with the image of Jason and the Golden Fleece constantly in his mind's eye, slipped over the ramparts of Veracruz one evening and set out, in the guise of a Catalan in order to account for his Frenchified Spanish and his dress, for Oaxaca where the best cochineal was produced.

paragraph: In Oaxaca, he purchased from Indians and blacks the insects and the cacti they parasitize, and some pods of vanilla, which he jumbled among commonplace herbal specimens in his collecting case. Once safely ashore in Saint Domingue he established a plantation of the "nopal" cactus in the botanical garden, the "jardin du roi" that he established at Port-au-Prince and sent further cactus pads and cochineal insects to the scientific academy at Cap Français. With the success of the adventure he was rewarded with the title of "Botaniste du roi" and an annuity of 6000 "livres". However, within two years of his return he was dead of "malignant fever" at the age of forty-one.

paragraph: As well as vanilla, Thiéry de Menonville brought with him to Saint Domingue jalap of Mexico, indigo seeds of Guatemala, and cotton seeds from Veracruz; in his travels he also noted the strangely beautiful flowers he had seen there, dahlias as they turned out to be, in his official report, published in 1787, after his death, by the academy at Cap-Haïtien, previously named "Cap‑Français" (initially "Cap-François").

paragraph: Necati Çelim

paragraph: Nuh Necati Çelim (1909, Köşk, Aydın Province, Ottoman Empire – 5 March 1986, Izmir, Turkey) was a Turkish politician, physician, and Member of Parliament (MP) for the Democratic Party ("Demokrat Parti"). He represented the Aydın Province in the 10th and 11th Turkish parliaments from 1954 to 1960. He was sentenced to death in the Yassıada trials undertaken after the 1960 Turkish coup d'état, but his sentence was later commuted to life in prison. He was given a six-month release in September 1964 due to health problems, and in 1965, he was released from the Kayseri prison along with the rest of the Democratic Party MPs remaining in prison.

paragraph: Section::::Family background and education.

paragraph: Çelim was born in Köşk in 1909 to Hafız Ahmet and Muhsine Hanım. He comes from the family of Posacılar, an old Turkoman family with roots in Western Turkestan who settled originally in Karahayıt, Aydın during the Ottoman Interregnum (1402–1413).

paragraph: He did not initially attend secular school but was educated in religion instead. His father, who owned the Posacılar Farm, wanted him to focus on their large farming and trading businesses instead of getting further education. In protest, Çelim escaped from home with the financial help of his mother. He studied in cities where he had relatives, since at that time, there were no middle or high schools in Aydın. He took and passed primary school exams, as he had not been able to go to school during the years that spanned World War I and the Turkish War of Independence. Next, he went to Manisa and graduated from middle school. Later, he went to Istanbul and graduated from Kabataş High School. Upon graduation from high school, he entered the Medical School at Istanbul University, one of the cornerstones of President Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's new educational institutions that was at the time heavily staffed by German and Austrian scientists who the Nazi regime in Germany had considered racially or politically undesirable and thus exiled. He graduated from the Medical School in 1934. His family supported him until the Great Depression, when his family's business was heavily hit, forcing him to complete the remainder of his studies with a scholarship from a family friend. He completed his residency at Zeynep Kamil Women's and Children's Diseases Education and Research Hospital and became a gynecologist. In addition to his native Turkish, he could read and write in French, Arabic, and Persian.

paragraph: Section::::Career as a government-appointed doctor.

paragraph: Çelim was first appointed as a doctor to Cizre in Şırnak Province, working there four years. Then, he was appointed to Çukurova in the Mersin Province with a focus on fighting malaria.

paragraph: In the 1930s in Çukurova, it was determined that malaria cases were much more frequent around paddy fields. As such, a law was passed in 1935 to administer the wet-field cultivation in Turkey. In every region, a committee was formed for this purpose with a government administrator, a doctor, and a producer on board. Çelim helped significantly to eradicate malaria from around Çukurova during this time. However, some large land owners, unhappy with losing too much farming land to malaria prevention efforts, asked the government to transfer him out of Mersin. Subsequently, he was appointed to Söğüt in Bilecik Province. His final post was at Bayındır in İzmir Province, once again with a focus on fighting malaria. This was to be his last government post, and after his service in Bayındır, he returned to Aydın Province to operate his private practice.

paragraph: Section::::Political life.

paragraph: During his time as an MP (1954–1960), he focused on legislative efforts to increase the amount of money allocated to the Ministry of Education as well as improving the living standards of teachers.

paragraph: He proposed the legislation that eventually led to the formation of the investigation committee on relations between the Turkish Army and Republican People's Party (CHP), which had established the Turkish Republic and had remained in power from the founding of the Republic through 1950. The committee was founded in April 1960, just one month before the 1960 Turkish coup d'état. The 15-person investigation committee had mostly focused on the relationships between the CHP and the Army but they were also looking into international connections of the upcoming coup d'état. Nevertheless, the committee could not stop the coup.

paragraph: After to the 1960 Turkish coup d'état, the generals took control of the country and prime minister Adnan Menderes, along with two of his ministers, were executed by hanging for violating the constitution, and many Democratic Party members were imprisoned and banned from political life. Furthermore, the Turkish military declared its allegiance to NATO and CENTO, received over a billion dollars in aid from the United States, and later forced more than half the officer corps of the Turkish Military into retirement. As a result, about 90 percent of the generals, 75 percent of the colonels, 50 percent of the lieutenant colonels and 30 percent of the majors were discharged from the army.

paragraph: Section::::Contributions to Aydın during his political career.

paragraph: Necati Çelim is one of the founding members and also one of the original Board of Directors of the Aydın Textiles Factory. Aydın Textiles Factory is the first textiles factory of the city of Aydın and for over 25 years was the largest employer in the region. Çelim also wrote and submitted the legislation that made Kuşadası part of Aydın Province instead of Izmir Province. Çeşme, part of Izmir Province, was the favorite vacation spot of almost all the Izmir Province MPs. Furthermore, the distance between Izmir and Kuşadası was far greater than the distance between Aydın and Kuşadası. Due to these reasons, Kuşadası often did not get much attention from the Turkish Parliament. As a result of the legislation that Necati Çelim spearheaded, Kuşadası started to receive significant investments from the government and started to become an important destination for tourism. This change has also greatly increased Aydın Province's tax revenues. Çelim was also key to securing the government investment for building the first passenger port in Kuşadası.

paragraph: Section::::1960 Turkish coup d'état and after the coup.

paragraph: After the 1960 Turkish coup d'état, Çelim was first imprisoned in Yassıada and stood trial in the mock "Breach of the Constitution" trial. Afterwards, he was kept as a prisoner in Kayseri until 1964. The generals, now lifetime senators, banned him from practicing medicine upon his release. This ban was overturned in 1966 by the Justice Party, the successor to the Democratic Party. Nevertheless, his political activity were curbed for over ten years, until the late 1970s, although even then he even could not vote in the parliamentary elections or take part in politics. He returned to practicing medicine until his retirement at 73. He moved to the Izmir Province where his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren resided and was treated there for his severe respiratory disease. He died in 1986 and is buried in Kuşadası, the hometown of his wife.

paragraph: Charles H. Bennett (soldier)

paragraph: Charles H. Bennett (18 August 1811 – 7 December 1855) was present at the discovery of gold that initiated the California gold rush in January 1848. Earlier he served in the United States Army and was captain of a militia unit of the Provisional Government of Oregon. In later years he operated a hotel in the Oregon Territory before dying in the Indian Wars as a captain of a cavalry unit.

paragraph: Section::::American West.

paragraph: In 1835 Bennett was a Sergeant in Company A United States Regiment of Dragoons, at Fort Leavenworth, under General Stephen W. Kearny. He moved to Oregon from Fort Leavenworth in 1844. In May 1846 while in Oregon he was involved with forming the Oregon Rangers mounted rifle company, where he was selected as the captain of the group.

paragraph: In 1847, 49er migration m Oregon Country to California where he was then employed by James Marshall as a carpenter at Sutter's Mill when gold was discovered. Marshall claimed that at the time that he discovered gold in the mill's tail-race Bennett was half a mile away at the house. This version of events is disputed by Stephen Staats, a lifelong acquaintance who was with him at the time, and later wrote a letter to the "Oregon Statesman" stating:

paragraph: "In 1847 we furnished Bennett with an outfit and he traveled with us to California. He assisted Marshall in building a mill on the American fork of the Sacramento, and he was the first one that beheld the glittering dust when water was turned into the race for the purpose of clearing it out. Notwithstanding that Marshall has gained worldwide fame as the first discoverer of gold in California, we have always claimed that an Oregon man, Bennett, was the first one whose eagle eye beheld the shining ore as it sparkled through the rippling of the water. Bennett, Salem's pioneer citizen, first gazed upon and held in his hand the gold which made San Francisco what she is today, and had it not been for that discovery the Bennett house never would have been built."

paragraph: In 1850 "Charley" Bennett, as his friends knew him, built the Bennett House hotel in Salem, Oregon. He extended the property by building a High Street frontage to the eastern side in 1852 and it became the town's principal hotel. In the winter of 1852-1853, nearly the entire territorial legislature was quartered there including Judge Matthew Deady and Hon. Asahel Bush, who occupied a room together, Joseph Meek, Colonel George K. Shiel, James W. Nesmith, Delazon Smith, James K. Kelly, Benjamin Harding, John Whiteaker, Nathaniel Ford of Polk county, and George Law Curry. In 1854, the U. S. Surveyor General's office for Oregon was removed to Salem, and occupied rooms at the Bennett House for some time.

paragraph: Section::::Steamboat activity.

paragraph: Bennett was one of several shareholders who built the steamship ""Canemah"". Bennett was the captain of the sternwheeler "Wallemet" in April 1854, when the boiler of the steamer "Gazelle" exploded while both boats were lying at Canemah, Oregon.

paragraph: Jean-Alphonse Turrettini

paragraph: Jean-Alphonse Turrettini (August 1671 – May 1737) was a theologian from the Republic of Geneva.

paragraph: The son of François Turrettini, he was born at Geneva. He studied theology at Geneva under Louis Tronchin (), and after travelling in Holland, England and France was received into the "Vénérable Compagnie des Pasteurs" of Geneva in 1693. Here he became pastor of the Italian congregation, and in 1697 professor of church history, and later (1705) of theology.

paragraph: During the next forty years of his life he enjoyed great influence in Geneva as the advocate of a more liberal theology than had prevailed under the preceding generation, and it was largely through his instrumentality that the rule obliging ministers to subscribe to the Helvetic Consensus was abolished in 1706, and the Consensus itself renounced in 1725. He also wrote and labored for the promotion of union between the Reformed and Lutheran Churches, his most important work in this connection being "Nubes testium pro moderato et pacifico de rebus theologicis judicio, et instituenda inter Protestantes concordia" (Geneva, 1729). Besides this he wrote "Cogitationes et dissertationes theologicae", on the principles of natural and revealed religion (2 vols., Geneva, 1737; in French, "Traité de la vérité de la religion chrétienne") and commentaries on "Thessalonians" and "Romans".
