paragraph: Song Wan (poet)

paragraph: Song Wan (; 1614–1673), also known as Song Lichang, courtesy name Yushu (), was a Chinese poet and government official active during the early Qing dynasty. The son of a Ming loyalist, Song was a high-flying Qing official and well-regarded poet. Regarded as one of the "eight great Qing-dynasty poets", he died in 1673 at age 59.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Song Wan was born in 1614 in Laiyang, Shandong, China. His father was a patriotic Ming official who killed himself following the decline of the dynasty. Song was described as a "filial" son and a conscientious learner. In 1649 he became a civil servant, albeit one under the Qing regime that his father detested, and rose in the ranks quickly. His career as a government official came to a pause after he was accused of working with conspirators during the 1661 Shandong Rebellion, also known as the Yu Qi Rebellion, while he was Chief Inquisitor of Zhejiang. He served three years in prison, along with his family. It was discovered that one of his relatives had reported him for treason; in light of that, Song was cleared of all charges in 1664. Song became Censor of Sichuan in 1672. Song Wan was also a prolific linguist. He was most interested in poetry and 1333 poems by Song are still in existence. The Library of Laiyang houses sixteen volumes of Song Wan poems, which is the largest such collection.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: A year after moving to Sichuan, in 1673, rebels led by Ming general Wu Sangui seized the capital Chengdu; Song, after being informed of this, "died of panic and fright". He was aged 59.

paragraph: Song Wan is considered to be one of the "eight great Qing-dynasty poets". His former residence in Laiyang is now a local museum. According to the museum director, Song was an incredibly popular poet whose works were "read by everyone", hailing him as a major inspiration to Chinese poetry.

paragraph: Chiang (2005) states that "Song Wan's life story (...) may be read of the impossibility of adhering to (Confucian ideals)." Song is one of the protagonists of the short story "Squirting" (噴水; also known as "Spraying Water") by Pu Songling in "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio". The tale narrates the Song's maids' and mother's encounter with an elderly ghost who spouts water (squirts); the incident allegedly occurred when Song was working for the government and had to travel away from home.

paragraph: Heribert von Larisch

paragraph: Heribert von Larisch (18 July 1894 – 16 May 1972) was a German general during World War II. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.

paragraph: Born into an aristocratic family, Larisch served during World War I as a troop officer during the war and was discharged from the army in 1920. He spent several years as landowner in Pomerania, and was re-employed by the "Landesschutz", an unofficial branch of the army. He became an active officer again in 1933. During the early years of World War II he commanded units on inactive fronts or in occupational duties. From 1943 on he served as a field commander at the Eastern Front. After the war, he lived in Hamburg, West Germany until his death in 1972.

paragraph: Section::::Early years and World War I.

paragraph: Larisch was born in 1894 in Freiburg im Breisgau as the first son of a military officer. Both of his parents were members of the German nobility. After successfully completing his high school studies ("Abitur"), 19-year-old Larisch joined the army. Thanks to his noble birth and being from a military family, in February 1914, Larisch was accepted into the Prussian Army.

paragraph: Shortly after the outbreak of World War I on 28 July 1914, Larisch was mobilized on 2 August 1914 and received a hastened commission to "Leutnant" in September of that year. He spent the majority of the war with the 18th Dragoon Regiment, serving as platoon and squadron commander. In January 1918 he was transferred to the 359th Infantry Regiment to assume the command of a company; in that position, he was promoted to "Oberleutnant" (1st Lieutenant) in May 1918. In August, he became "Ordonnanzoffizier" (Batman) at the staff of I Reserve Corps. He was still serving in that position when the German Empire capitulated on 11 November 1918.

paragraph: Section::::Interwar period.

paragraph: Section::::Interwar period.:In the Weimar Republic.

paragraph: While still in the army service, Larisch enrolled in the University of Rostock in February 1920 in order to study law; however, he never completed his studies. Larisch wasn't selected for the downsized, 1,000-man officer corps of the "Reichswehr" and was discharged.

paragraph: During the war, on 18 June 1917, he married Ellen Fanny Wanda Natalie Helene, "née" Edle von Xylander (1895–1974), the daughter of Adolf Ritter und Edler von Xylander, a nobleman and "Oberstleutnant" (Lieutenant Colonel). Larisch's mother-in-law, who had divorced Xylander in 1914 to marry the officer Eduard Ermekeil (31 October 1864 – 18 November 1941) in 1916, came from a family of Pomeranian landowners. Among others, they owned the estates of Latzig, as well as the nearby estates of Zirchow B and Alt–Zowen in the Pomeranian District of Schlawe ("Kreis Schlawe"). Ellen Ermekeil (Larisch's mother-in-law) became administrator of the estate of Zirchow B in 1921. After his discharge, Larisch settled at Zirchow, along with his wife and his daughter Irmgard (1918–1998).

paragraph: Larisch occupied himself with the administration of the estate in Zirchow B. During the 1920s, he and his wife had four more children: Siegrid (born 1921), Friederun (born in 1922), Karin (born in 1924) and Dankwart (born in 1925). In addition, Larisch occupied himself with the history of his Regiment during the war. The result of his work, "Das 2. Großherzogl. Mecklenburg. Dragoner-Reg. Nr 18 im Weltkriege 1914–1918" (The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg 2nd Dragoner Regiment No. 18 in the World War 1914–1918), was published in 1924. In 1928, he took over the estate of Zirchow B.

paragraph: Section::::Interwar period.:National Socialism.

paragraph: Seeking to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles and enlarge the size of the army strength, the leadership of the new army ("Reichswehr"), worked from 1926 on the development of a secret army, formed on existing paramilitary border guard organizations, which received training and equipment unofficially. Those formations were part of the "Landesschutzorganisation" (Land Protection Organization, or LO), and their main duty was the border protection, the training of the LO troops, and to an extent the maintaining of the civilian order. Naturally, the "Reichswehr" wished to utilize veteran officers who were discharged from the Reichswehr in 1920, but, since officially the "Reichswehr" was limited to 1,000 active officers, the officers of the LO were classified as "civilian employees of the "Reichswehr"" on paper, and were commonly known as "L–Offiziere" (short for "Landesschutzoffiziere", or Land Protection Officers). Larisch entered the "Landesschutz" on 1 July 1929, as an "Oberleutnant" (L). He was employed by the "Wehrkreis" (Military District) II (Mecklenburg and Pomerania, with HQ in Stettin), appointed as the District Administrator for the area of Schlochau and Bublitz, adjacent to the family estates.

paragraph: Larisch spent the following years in that rather quiet position. On 1 February 1932 he was transferred to the Command Office in Neustettin (also in Pomerania), where he witnessed Adolf Hitler's rise to power one year later: on 31 January 1933, he became Chancellor of Germany. In the following years, disregarding the confining Versailles Treaty, the Nazi regime intensified the German re-armament ("Aufrüstung") and the size of the military. On 1 October 1933, Larisch was transferred from the "Landesschutzen" officers to the active officers of the "Reichswehr", and was simultaneously promoted to "Hauptmann" (Captain). Evidently, Larisch was earmarked for active troop command, given that he was still 42 years old, and was given a troop assignment, the command of a company in the 4th Infantry Regiment ("4. Infanterie–Regiment"), headquartered in Kolberg, Pomerania. He retained the same position as company commander when the regiment was restructured in the frame of the expansion of the "Reichswehr" — which was renamed to "Wehrmacht" in 1935 — from 1 October 1934 with a new designation, Infantry Regiment "Kolberg" ("Infanterie–Regiment Kolberg"). One year later, he was posted as Instructor at the prestigious Infantry School in Döberitz ("Infanterieschule Döberitz") near Berlin. He remained there until July 1936, when he was transferred to 94th Infantry Regiment ("94. Infanterie–Regiment"), which was then under formation in Pomerania, again as a company commander. Shortly thereafter he was promoted to "Major" and in early October 1937 he was transferred to another Infantry School, this time to Hanover in Lower Saxony, as "Taktiklehrer" (Tactics Instructor). He taught officer classes there for the two following years, until the outbreak of World War II on 1 September 1939.

paragraph: Section::::World War II.

paragraph: Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939, marking the start of World War II in Europe. The organization of new divisions escalated in the weeks leading up to the war, and experienced officers were needed to man the newly formed divisions. The 86th Infantry Division was formed in Detmold on 26 August and Larisch took over command of the 1st Battalion of its 167th Infantry Regiment. This unit didn't participate in the Polish Campaign, however, as more accommodated to tactical doctrines officers were chosen to lead from the front, in favour of officers who had resumed their service in the 1930s. The 86th Division occupied a sector of the inactive Western Front. Larisch spent a great part of the Phoney War there, from October 1939 to January 1940, again trusted with training duties, in light of his earlier experience. In this capacity, he oversaw the training of Company and Battalion leaders. It can be assumed that Larisch's superiors held his training skills in high regard, but still deemed him unfit for field service, as he was transferred away from the front and posted as a Tactics Instructor for Company commanders in the city of Königsbrück in Upper Lusatia on 10 January. Simultaneously, he was named commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 440th Infantry Regiment, which was being under formation in Königsbrück. In February, he was promoted to "Oberstleutnant" (Colonel). In May 1940, his tenure as instructor ended, and he occupied himself exclusively with the command of his battalion. The quality of the units' training in Königsbrück prompted the American military attaché to write to his superiors that he was ""impressed"" of the German tactics in the army manoeuvres there.

paragraph: Larisch remained battalion commander throughout 1940 — his unit didn't participate in the battle of France — but, after the successful Balkan campaign, he was elevated to commander of the 440th Infantry Regiment in July 1941 and, in October, he was promoted to "Oberst" (Colonel). At that time, his regiment was posted in Greece, charged with occupational duties, and the 164th Infantry Regiment was merged with the 713th Infantry Division ("713. Infanterie–Division") to form the Fortress Division "Crete" ("Festungsdivision Kreta"). In July 1942, the more combat-effective parts of the 16th Infantry Division were transported to North Africa to fight with Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps. Larisch, still deemed unfit for active combat duty, remained in Greece, and from October to November 1942 he commanded one of the units of the "Festungsdivision Kreta" that were left behind, the 1st Fortress Brigade ("Festungsbrigade 1") with HQ in Thessaloniki. On 23 November 1942, the staff of the unit was transferred to the north and became the German Railway Security Staff Croatia ("Deutscher Eisenbahn–Sicherungsstab Kroatien"). In this capacity, Larisch was responsible for the protection of the essential railroad transport in the puppet Independent State of Croatia, from acts of sabotage by the partisan movement active there. Larisch held this position in 1943; whether his units were implicated in war crimes is unknown.

paragraph: By 1943, Larisch had completed 10 years of troop service, but hadn't yet received a combat assignment. Presumably, he had earned sufficiently good evaluations from his superiors to be considered as a future divisional leader, so, in the summer of 1943, he took part in a one-month divisional leaders course in Berlin. He returned to Croatia in August and, on 1 November 1943, he was given the command of the 78th "Sturm" Division, one of the strongest, best-equipped and most effective combat units of the Eastern Front. When Larisch took over the command, the division was engaged in heavy fighting with the Red Army, as the Soviets attempted to capture the vital Moscow–Minsk highway, connecting Smolensk to Orsha. The battles lasted throughout the whole winter, and the division was able to form a defensive line and complete, for the time being, its objective.

paragraph: On 15 February 1944, Larisch became commander of the 129th Infantry Division ("129. Infanterie-Division"), and was promoted to "Generalmajor" (Major General) on 1 April 1944. When, in June 1944, the Soviets launched a massive offensive (Operation Bagration), the 129th Infantry Division initially escaped total decimation, like many of the units of Army Group Center, but suffered heavy losses during the fighting in Belorussia. Arguably, Larisch's finest moment came in late summer 1944, when his division was defending the Narew river against the Soviet assault. The German units had set up strong defenses along the river, including trenches, barbed wire, obstacles and minefields, and manage to prevent the Soviets from breaking through. This defensive success was met with visible enthusiasm from Larisch's superiors: on 1 September 1944, he was decorated with the German Cross in Gold. In addition, he was promoted to "Generalleutnant" (Lieutenant General) on 1 October, a few weeks later, and in late December he was awarded with the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, one of Nazi Germany's highest and most prestigious military decorations.

paragraph: Section::::World War II.:Late war.

paragraph: The defensive line at Narew was overrun during another large-scale Soviet offensive in January 1945. While the winter had caused the marshes to freeze, making the terrain impermeable to attacks, this line was smashed and the German units were forced to retreat. By then, the 129th Infantry Division had suffered such heavy losses that it effectively ceased to exist as combat formation; Larisch gave up command of what remained of his division on 15 February 1945.

paragraph: For the remainder of the war, Larisch was posted as commander of Infantry School Döberitz. Anticipating the Soviet assault on Berlin, the school had been moved to Grafenwöhr in the Upper Palatinate. He remained in that position until 24 April, when he was placed in the "Leader's Reserve" ("Führerreserve").

paragraph: Larisch continued to direct the regimental commanders course that had started in March. By late April 1945, the course continued to take place in Krün, a municipality in Southern Bavaria, adjacent to Tyrol. When Hitler's suicide became known on 30 April, the course came to an end. Before relieving the officers of their duties, Larisch assembled them in the local schoolhouse. His parting words were: "What you have learned in the past weeks was certainly not in vain, for just a few years from now, there will be a new German Army!"

paragraph: Section::::Post–war.

paragraph: After the war ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany on 8 May 1945, Larisch was able to evade capture for more than a month, but was arrested by American troops on 15 June 1945. He spent the next two years as a prisoner of war and was released on 1 July 1947, a few weeks shy of his 53rd birthday.

paragraph: Upon returning to Germany, Larisch and his wife settled in Hamburg in northern West Germany. With the exception of his only son, who went missing in action on 1 July 1944 in the northern sector of the Eastern Front, all of his immediate family had survived the war. His Pomeranian estates were annexed by Poland. Thus, the family lived in strained conditions for some time; his daughter, Karin, a veterinarian, emigrated with her family to the United States of America in the 1950s.

paragraph: Larisch spent his last years quietly in retirement. He served as chairman of the Officers' Association ("Offiziersverein") of his old regiment (the 18th Dragoon Regiment). Larisch died on 16 May 1972 at the age of 77.

paragraph: Cadwallon ap Cadfan

paragraph: Cadwallon ap Cadfan (died 634) was the King of Gwynedd from around 625 until his death in battle. The son and successor of Cadfan ap Iago, he is best remembered as the King of the Britons who invaded and conquered the Kingdom of Northumbria, defeating and killing its king, Edwin, prior to his own death in battle against Oswald of Bernicia. His conquest of Northumbria, which he held for a year or two after Edwin died, made him the last Briton to hold substantial territory in eastern Britain until the rise of the House of Tudor. He was thereafter remembered as a national hero by the Britons and as a tyrant by the Anglo-Saxons of Northumbria.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: As with other figures of the era little is certainly known of Cadwallon's early life or reign. The primary source of information about him is the "Ecclesiastical History of the English People" of the Anglo-Saxon writer Bede, who is strongly critical of him. Cadwallon consistently appears in the genealogies of the Kings of Gwynedd as the son of Cadfan ap Iago and a descendant of Maelgwn Gwynedd and Cunedda. Historian Alex Woolf, however, presents the case that the genealogists have erroneously inserted Bede's Cadwallon into the pedigree of the unrelated Kings of Gwynedd as son of Cadfan. Instead, Woolf suggests that Bede's Cadwallon was the "Catguallaun liu" found in genealogies as son of "Guitcun" and grandson of Sawyl Penuchel, rulers in the "Hen Ogledd" or Brythonic-speaking area of northern Britain.

paragraph: Whatever the case may be, Cadwallon was certainly affected by the ambitions of Edwin, King of Northumbria. Bede, writing about a century after Cadwallon's death, describes Edwin, the most powerful king in Britain, conquering the Brittonic kingdom of Elmet (what is now western Yorkshire) and ejecting its king, Cerdic. This opened the door to the Irish Sea, and Edwin successfully extended his rule to the "Mevanian Islands" – the Isle of Man and Anglesey. The "Annales Cambriae" says that Cadwallon was besieged at Glannauc (now Puffin Island, a small island off eastern Anglesey), and dates this to 629. Surviving Welsh poetry and the Welsh Triads portray Cadwallon as a heroic leader against Edwin. They refer to a battle at Digoll (Long Mountain) and mention that Cadwallon spent time in Ireland before returning to Britain to defeat Edwin.

paragraph: According to Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae" (which includes a fairly extensive account of Cadwallon's life but is largely legendary—for example, Geoffrey has Cadwallon surviving until after the Battle of the Winwaed in 654 or 655), Cadwallon went to Ireland and then to the island of Guernsey. From there, according to Geoffrey, Cadwallon led an army into Dumnonia, where he encountered and defeated the Mercians besieging Exeter, and forced their king, Penda of Mercia, into an alliance. Geoffrey also reports that Cadwallon married a half-sister of Penda. However, his history is, on this as well as all matters, suspect, and it should be treated with caution.

paragraph: In any case, Penda and Cadwallon together made war against the Northumbrians. The Battle of Hatfield Chase on 12 October 633 ended in the defeat and death of Edwin and his son Osfrith. After this, the Kingdom of Northumbria fell into disarray, divided between its sub-kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia, but the war continued: according to the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", "Cadwallon and Penda went and did for the whole land of Northumbria". Bede says that Cadwallon was besieged by the new king of Deira, Osric, "in a strong town"; Cadwallon, however, "sallied out on a sudden with all his forces, by surprise, and destroyed him [Osric] and all his army."

paragraph: After this, according to Bede, Cadwallon ruled over the "provinces of the Northumbrians" for a year, "not like a victorious king, but like a rapacious and bloody tyrant." Furthermore, Bede tells us that Cadwallon, "though he bore the name and professed himself a Christian, was so barbarous in his disposition and behaviour, that he neither spared the female sex, nor the innocent age of children, but with savage cruelty put them to tormenting deaths, ravaging all their country for a long time, and resolving to cut off all the race of the English within the borders of Britain." Bede's extremely negative portrayal of Cadwallon as a genocidal tyrant cannot be taken at face value. Cadwallon's alliance with the Anglo-Saxon Penda undermines Bede's assertion that Cadwallon had attempted to exterminate the English. Additionally, the fact that Cædwalla of Wessex a generation after Cadwallon's death bore a name derived directly from the British "Cadwallon" suggests that Cadwallon's reputation could not have been so poor among the Saxons of Wessex as it was in Northumbria.

paragraph: The new king of Bernicia, Eanfrith, was also killed by Cadwallon when the former went to him in an attempt to negotiate peace. However, Cadwallon was defeated by an army under Eanfrith's brother, Oswald, at the Battle of Heavenfield, "though he had most numerous forces, which he boasted nothing could withstand". Cadwallon was killed at a place called "Denis's-brook".

paragraph: Bertha Lutz

paragraph: Bertha Maria Júlia Lutz (August 2, 1894 – September 16, 1976) was a Brazilian zoologist, politician, and diplomat. Lutz became a leading figure in both the Pan American feminist movement and human rights movement. She was instrumental in gaining women's suffrage in Brazil and represented her country at the United Nations Conference on International Organization, signing her name to the United Nations Charter. In addition to her political work, she was a naturalist for the National Museum of Brazil, specializing in poison dart frogs. She has three frog species and two lizard species named after her.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

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

paragraph: Bertha Lutz was born in São Paulo. Her father, Adolfo Lutz (1855–1940), was a pioneering physician and epidemiologist of Swiss origin, and her mother, Amy Marie Gertrude Fowler, was a British nurse. Bertha Lutz studied natural sciences, biology and zoology at the University of Paris - Sorbonne, graduating in 1918. Soon after obtaining her degree, she returned to Brazil.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Return to Brazil and the fight for women’s suffrage.

paragraph: In 1919, one year after returning to Brazil, Lutz founded the League for Intellectual Emancipation of Women and was appointed to represent the Brazilian government in the Female International Council of the International Labor Organization (ILO). Lutz later created the Brazilian Federation for Women's Progress in 1922, a political group which advocated for Brazilian women's rights, most importantly their right to vote, around the world. Lutz served as a delegate to the Pan-American Conference of Women in Baltimore, Maryland, US that same year, and would continue to attend women's rights conferences in the years to come. In 1925, she was elected president of the Inter-American Union of Women. Lutz's involvement in the fight for women's suffrage made her the leading figurehead of women's rights until the end of 1931, when Brazilian women finally gained the right to vote.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Leading the inter-American feminist campaign.

paragraph: Lutz's advocacy for the rights of women did not end with the right to vote, and she continued to play a prominent role in the feminist campaign. In 1933, after obtaining her law degree from Rio de Janeiro Law School, Lutz participated and introduced several proposals for gender equity in the Inter-American Conference of Montevideo, Uruguay. Most notable of these proposals was her call for the refocusing of the Inter-American Commission of Women on the issue of gender equality in the workplace. In 1935, Lutz decided to run for Congress and came in second behind Cándido Pessoa, and replaced him when he died a year later, making Lutz one of the few Brazilian Congresswomen of the time. The first initiative that Lutz presented while in Congress was the creation of the “Statue of women”, a committee with the intended purpose of analyzing every Brazilian law and statute to ensure none violated the rights of women.

paragraph: Lutz, however, was unable to push forward her measures when Getúlio Vargas was reinstated as dictator in 1937, which led to a suspension of parliamentary and, consequently, a suspension her project. Lutz nonetheless continued her diplomatic career. She was one of the four women to sign the United Nations Charter at the Inter-American Conference of Women held in San Francisco in 1945 and served as vice president of the Inter-American Commission of Women from 1953 to 1959.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later years.

paragraph: In 1964, Lutz headed the Brazilian delegation at the 14th Inter-American Commission in Montevideo. Additionally, at the 15th annual meeting of the Inter-American Commission of Women held in 1970, she proposed to hold a seminar dedicated to addressing the specific problems faced by indigenous women. Although she was a little over seventy during this stage of her life, Lutz continued to attend conferences and push for the expansion of women's rights, including the International Women's Year conference in Mexico City in 1975. She died in 1976 at the age of 82.

paragraph: Section::::Scientific career.

paragraph: After returning to Brazil in 1918, Lutz dedicated herself to the study of amphibians, especially poison dart frogs and frogs of the family Hylidae. In 1919, she was hired by the "Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro". She later became a naturalist at the Section of Botany. Throughout her lifetime, Lutz would publish numerous scientific studies and publications, most notably “Observations on the life history of the Brazilian Frog” (1943), “A notable frog chorus in Brazil” (1946), and “New frogs from Itatiaia mountain” (1952). In 1958, she described what is now known as Lutz's rapids frog ("Paratelmatobius lutzii" Lutz and , 1958), which is named in honor of her father.

paragraph: Bertha Lutz is honored in the names of two species of Brazilian lizards, "Liolaemus lutzae" and "Phyllopezus lutzae", as well as three species of frogs, "Dendropsophus berthalutzae", "Megaelosia lutzae", and "Scinax berthae".

paragraph: Section::::Lutz and political conferences.:Female International Council of the International Labor Organization (ILO): 1919.

paragraph: During this conference, Lutz advocated for equality among the sexes and the specific mention of women in the clauses that protect against injustices and abuse.

paragraph: Section::::Lutz and political conferences.:Pan American Women’s Congress Conference in Baltimore: 1922.

paragraph: At this conference, Lutz advocated for the equality of rights and opportunity of women, with a special focus on political inclusion.

paragraph: Section::::Lutz and political conferences.:Inter-American Conference of Montevideo: 1933.

paragraph: Lutz came prepared to this conference with a study of the legal status of women in the Americas and advocated that the nationality of married women should not be contingent on that of their husbands. She also proposed an Equals Rights treaty and pushed the Inter-American Commission of Women to refocus and recommit to analyzing working conditions of women in the Americas.

paragraph: Section::::Lutz and political conferences.:San Francisco UN conference: 1945.

paragraph: Along with Minerva Bernardino, Lutz fought for the inclusion of the word “women” in the preamble to the United Nations Charter. The first draft didn't mention the word "women", and against US delegate Virginia Gildersleeve and British female advisors, Lutz and other women from Latin America insisted in the final clause read: " ...faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small"

paragraph: She further proposed the creation of a special commission of Women whose purpose it would be to analyze the "legal status of Women" around the world in order to better understand the inequalities they face and be better prepared to combat them. She is credited with being the most prominent and tenacious advocate for the inclusion of women's rights in the charter, and without her work the United Nations would likely not have a mandate to protect women's rights.

paragraph: Pierre De Meyts

paragraph: Pierre De Meyts (born 1944) is a Belgian physician and biochemist known for his research on fine chemical and kinetic aspects of ligand-receptor interaction, subunit assembly, and specific metabolic (as well as mitogenic) effects of hormones typically causing receptor tyrosine kinase activation such as insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). He has also studied receptor signalling for other peptide hormones such as growth hormone and relaxin, and key pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. De Meyts held professorial posts for over three decades at several European and United States institutions and currently is an emeritus professor in the Science Faculty at the Université catholique de Louvain. While living in Denmark (1990-2010) he occupied executive research positions at Novo Nordisk. De Meyts (a.k.a. Chuck) is also known as a science cartoonist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: De Meyts was born in Verviers (Belgium) in 1944. He attended high school at the Athénée Royal de Verviers, where he read "Humanités Anciennes" (Latin-Mathématiques). In 1969 De Meyts received his MD with honors ("Grande Distinction") from the University of Liège Medical School, and during the subsequent three years he specialized in internal medicine at the Hôpital de Bavière. Soon after he spent three years at NIH as a visiting scientist. During this NIH period De Meyts became a prominent member of the research group led by Jesse Roth, studying insulin receptors, and authoring a dozen original papers in duly indexed journals. After NIH he returned to Belgium where he worked for over 30 years, occupying academic positions at universities including the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Université catholique de Louvain. De Meyts moved to California (1984-1990), where he joined the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, (Duarte) and also taught at the University of Southern California for a short period. Immediately after, De Meyts was recruited by Novo Nordisk where he successively became the director of research of the Hagedorn Research Institute (1990-2000), scientific director of its Receptor Systems Biology Laboratory (2000-2010), and corporate vice-president of the company. During this period in Denmark until 2011 De Meyts simultaneously held academic posts as adjunct professor of experimental endocrinology (2000-2005) and guest lecturer (2007-2011) at the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Health Sciences. Since then De Meyts returned to his home country and founded his own consulting company in Kraainem, where he remains professionally active.

paragraph: Section::::Research.

paragraph: De Meyts began his research career while a medical student at the University of Liège, collaborating with mentors such as Jean Lecomte and Annie Cession-Fossion in studies of the vascular actions of sympathomimetics. During a three-year visit to NIH starting in 1973, De Meyts got involved in what -by far- would become his major research fields: hormone-receptor interaction of peptide hormones and the study of the physiopathogenesis of diabetes. In the latter field his article with Steven G. Gray was the first to propose the possible etiological role of epigenetic factors in diabetes. Also, De Meyts´s articles first coined the term "diabetogenes "(1993), a new concept which has gained significant acceptance among independent peers in many countries (France, US, Japan and Denmark). Below is a list of De Meyts's most notable research topics and achievements:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Growth hormone effects and signalling in adipocytes and IM-9 lymphocytes

paragraph: BULLET::::- Demonstration of negative cooperativity in insulin and IGF receptors as well as other RTKs and GPCRs

paragraph: De Meyts´s often iconoclastic cartoons first attained notoriety among francophone readers during the student upheavals occurring in 1968-69. Many of his cartoons and posters from this period are archived and can be consulted at the "Institut d’histoire ouvrière, économique et sociale" in Seraing. Once a scientist, he began drawing satirical science-cartoons. Many of these have been published in mainstream journals such as "Nature", "Trends in Biochemical Sciences", and "Trends in Pharmacological Sciences".

paragraph: Emerich Szerencsés

paragraph: Emerich Szerencsés (also known as Fortunatus; died August 1526) was deputy treasurer of the Kingdom of Hungary and a Jewish convert to Christianity.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born Jewish but had to convert when it became known that he had sex with a Christian woman. He was baptised by Ladislaus Szalkai, Archbishop of Grau, and took the baptismal name Emerich after his sponsor Emerich Perényi, Palatine of Hungary. His wife and his sons Abraham and Ephraim remained practising Jews. After his conversion he was appointed deputy treasurer, using his position to send coded letters warning Hungarian Jews on imminent persecution, to secure the revocation of the expulsion of the Jews from Prague and to save a Jewish man and woman who had been condemned to death by fire. He also became a favourite of Louis II of Hungary.

paragraph: When the Jewish community of Ofen was accused of ritual murder he convinced Louis to hand the accuser over to him. He gave a Jewish education to the children of another baptised Jew and gave to Jewish charities every Friday until his death. As a reward the rabbis of Ofen, Padua and Constantinople ordered that Szerencsés' sons Abraham and Ephraim should be called up to the Law by their father's name - usually the sons of baptised Jews had to be called up by their grandfather's names. This also recognised their view that, at heart, Szerencsés was still a Jew.

paragraph: Stephan Verböczi and other Hungarian nobles accused him of causing the country's financial problems and some members of the 1525 Diet moved for him to be burned at the stake. The accusations of gross negligence proved justified, since he had used state funds for private ends, as did many respected noblemen at the time. Louis II briefly imprisoned him and his home was attacked and looted by a mob led by the nobles' servants, though Szerencsés himself managed to escape. Another mob simultaneously stormed and looted the city's ghetto. With the invasion threat from the Ottoman Empire looming large, Szerencsés was restored to favour at the 1526 Diet but died later that year, with many Jews at his death-bed.

paragraph: Brandon Boykin

paragraph: Brandon Boykin (born July 13, 1990) is an American football cornerback who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Georgia and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

paragraph: Section::::High school career.

paragraph: Boykin attended Fayette County High School (Georgia) and played for the varsity football team. In his senior year, he, along with fellow NFL Player Matt Daniels, led the football team into its first undefeated season in over 20 years but lost in the second round of the GHSA playoff. Boykin also played for the school's basketball team where he averaged 18 points and five assists per game while helping lead his team to the State Championship game where he and his team came up short.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Boykin attended the University of Georgia from 2008 to 2011. He finished his career with 159 tackles, nine interceptions and a sack. As a senior, he was named the MVP of the 2012 Outback Bowl after tackling Keshawn Martin for a safety, and returning a punt 92 yards for a touchdown in a 33–30 triple overtime loss to the Michigan State Spartans. Boykin also won the Paul Hornung Award.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Philadelphia Eagles.

paragraph: Going into the 2012 NFL Draft, Boykin was projected as one of the best cornerback prospects. He was drafted in the fourth round (123rd overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. His first season he recorded 31 total tackles, 7 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble. He signed a four-year contract with the team on May 11, 2012. He saw little playing action on defense, but his 1,037 kick return yards was second in the NFC and seventh in the entire NFL.

paragraph: Boykin started the 2013 season with his first interception, off Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, helping the Eagles to win 33–27. He recorded his next interception in a week 5 win over the Giants where he picked off Eli Manning. In a week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers who were without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Boykin intercepted quarterback Scott Tolzien's pass in the endzone and ran it back for 76 yards. He followed up again the next week, intercepting Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III. In a week 16 game against the Chicago Bears, Boykin intercepted Jay Cutler and ran it back 54 yards for the score. The week 17 showdown against division rival Dallas Cowboys was for the NFC East division title. Late in the fourth quarter the Cowboys marched down the field when back-up quarterback Kyle Orton threw behind his wide receiver, Miles Austin. Boykin intercepted the pass and kneed it after a short return. The interception led to the Eagles rushing the ball twice for a first down, then two kneel downs to run out the clock and seal the Eagles' divisional win at a final score of 24–22. Boykin enjoyed a breakout year in 2013 with 42 solo tackles, 5 assists, 2 forced fumbles, 16 passes defended, and 6 interceptions (second in the NFL). For the 2014 season, Boykin had 36 solo tackles, 5 assists, 9 passes defended, and an interception.

paragraph: Jean Hengen

paragraph: Jean Hengen (23 November 1912 – 29 January 2005) was a Luxembourgian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Luxembourg from 13 February 1971 until 21 December 1990, whereupon Luxembourg was created an Archbishopric, and thereafter he served as Archbishop of Luxembourg. Hengen was inducted into the Order of the Oak Crown as a Grand Officer on 23 June 1981.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Youth.

paragraph: Hengen was born on 23 November 1912 in Dudelange, the seventh of eight children of Michel Hengen and Anna Gindt. After completing his secondary schooling at the Athénée de Luxembourg, he started studying philosophy and theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He later also studied canon law.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Priesthood.

paragraph: He was ordained a priest on 27 October 1940 in Rome in the Church of the Gesù. He celebrated his first Mass in Luxembourg in the Franciscan church. It was not until after the war, in 1945, that he celebrated the first Mass in Dudelange in his home parish. After his doctorate in theology, he was made canon of the Cathedral by Bishop Joseph Philippe on 20 August 1945. On 1 August 1949 he became chancellor of the diocese, and on 6 June 1955 was appointed Vicar-General. From 1955 to 1971 he was made president of the board of directors of the printing house Imprimerie Saint Paul.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Bishop.

paragraph: Pope Paul VI appointed Hengen the titular bishop of Calama and coadjutor bishop on 8 April 1967, with right of succession. On 4 June 1967 he was consecrated in Notre-Dame Cathedral. On 12 February 1971, after Léon Lommel retirement, Hengen became the sixth Bishop of Luxembourg. His motto as Bishop was "Tibi servire" (To serve you).

paragraph: On 13 May 1972 he convened the 4th Luxembourgish diocesan synod, which was to be a synod of renewal.

paragraph: When the old bell-tower of the Cathedral was in flames on Good Friday in 1985, he personally saved the statue of the Virgin Mary – an important Luxembourgish symbol – and later took care of planning the reconstruction. The same year, Pope John Paul II personally appointed him the first Archbishop of Luxembourg on 16 May during a visit to the country. In 1988 Luxembourg was elevated to an Archdiocese.

paragraph: Jean Hengen was also the president of the German commission responsible for publishing liturgical books.

paragraph: One big project of Bishop Hengen was a church at the service of young people. Under him, the "Pélé des Jeunes" started in 1974, which to this day takes place on the first Sunday of the Octave celebrations. Other high points of youth ministry were the meeting of young people with John Paul II in Echternach during the papal visit of 1985, and Youth Day ("Jugenddag"), a national version of the World Youth Days.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Retirement.

paragraph: With the consecration of Fernand Franck as his successor on 2 February 1991, Jean Hengen's tenure as Archbishop came to an end. In this time in office, he had always tried to avoid favouring his home town of Dudelange over other Luxembourgish cities. Thus, while he declined Abbot Robert Sibenaler's invitation to the Octave Mass of the Dudelange pilgrims during his time as Bishop, after his retirement he willingly participated in this tradition. After his death, flowers were laid in the crypt for the people of Dudelange every year after the Octave Mass.

paragraph: On 29 October 2000 he celebrated his diamond jubilee as a clergyman. Dudelange also honoured "its" Bishop on 23 November 2002 for his 90th birthday, which was also the last Mass that he would celebrate as Bishop. His last public appearance was on 10 May 2004 at the Octave Mass with the Dudelange pilgrims. On this occasion, he did not wear a Bishop's ornaments such as a staff and mitre, but a simple violet Bishop's cassock and a rochet.

paragraph: Jean Hengen died in the hospital on Kirchberg at 12:00 on 29 January 2005. His remains were buried on 2 February 2005 in the crypt of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg.

paragraph: Joe English (painter)

paragraph: Joseph Alphonse Marie "Joe" English (Bruges, 5 August 1882 – Vinkem, 31 August 1918) was a Flemish draughtsman and painter.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: His father was an Irishman who married a Flemish woman. Later on, Joe was naturalised as a Belgian subject and collaborated closely with the Antwerp artist Juliaan Devriendt. Antwerp was at that time the centre of the Flemish Movement. In 1914, he was mobilised. At the end of 1915, he worked as an artist in Veurne, where he became a prominent front soldier. He designed the typical gravestones honouring the Flemish soldiers who died in the First World War. English died at the age of 36 from an untreated appendicitis in the military hospital L'Océan at Vinkem on the night of 31 August 1918. He was buried in the Belgian military cemetery at Steenkerke. The very first IJzerbedevaart took place there at his sepulchre in 1920. In 1930, his corpse was placed in the crypt of the IJzertoren (the Yser Tower, named after the River Yser). Through his friend , a number of English’s oil paintings and water colours, which depict Veurne during the war, were permanently exhibited in the town hall there.
