paragraph: Frederick W. Smith (physician)

paragraph: Frederick William Smith (August 24, 1858 – after 1913) was a physician and surgeon in Syracuse, New York. By 1897, he was serving as Health Commissioner for the city of Syracuse and during June 1902, he was appointed as health officer of the city. He also served as coroner of Onondaga County, New York.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Frederick William Smith M.D. was born in Triangle, New York in Broome County on August 24, 1858. He was educated at "Lisle Academy" and University of the City of New York.

paragraph: Smith graduated from medical school in 1881 from Syracuse University and that same year was appointed as "demonstrator of anatomy" at his alma mater.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Medical career.

paragraph: By 1897, he was serving a term as Health Commissioner for the city of Syracuse.

paragraph: In 1900, he was director of the "New York Casualty Company" and a member of the "New York State Board of Health" where he served on the "Tuberculosis Committee". Smith was also a member of the "American Public Health Association" and the "Syracuse Academy of Medicine".

paragraph: During June 1902, he was appointed as health officer of the city of Syracuse.

paragraph: By November 12, 1904, he was "assistant medical inspector" and according to the "New York Medical Journal" he visited the "Department of Health of New York City" and the "New York City Public Schools" to "inspect the methods" of that department.

paragraph: He was the former coroner of Onondaga County, New York.

paragraph: Section::::Automobile in duties.

paragraph: In December 1905, Smith, health officer of Syracuse, "runs a gasoline runabout" in the discharge of his duties. The machine was owned by the doctor, but he used it "about as much for the city as for himself." In the epidemic of scarlet fever which swept over the city in the spring and summer of 1904, the automobile "played a prominent part." Before the city officials knew it, there were hundreds of cases of the fever in the city and "strenuous efforts were in order to check the spread of the disease." Hundreds of homes were visited by Smith in his automobile and he "may be ascribed much of the progress which the city officials made in stamping out the disease."

paragraph: Section::::Automobile in duties.:Personal life.

paragraph: By 1902, Frederick W. Smith was a member of the Syracuse chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution along with Lyman C. Smith, also originally from Broome County, New York and one of the Smith brothers who founded Smith Premier Typewriter in Syracuse. The president of the society in Syracuse was James M. Belden.

paragraph: In June 1904, an article in "Motor Age" magazine titled "How to be Popular", noted that automobile tours had become "quite the fad" among public officials "striving for popularity." Mayor Alan S. Fobes of Syracuse rewarded all the city officials with an outing to South Bay, New York during which time, Dr. Frederick W. Smith, health officer, took his subordinates out in automobiles.

paragraph: He was married on November 12, 1913 to Charlotte R. Williams. The ceremony was performed by Rev. James B. Knappenberger of the Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church.

paragraph: Juan Solano

paragraph: Juan Solano, O.P. (c. 1505 – 1580), was a Spanish Dominican missionary and the second Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Cuzco, Peru (1544–1562).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Solano was born in about 1504 in Archidona, a town in the Province of Málaga. He studied at the Colegio de San Esteban of the University of Salamanca. It was there that he decided to enter the Dominican Order. He began his novitiate in the last months of 1524, and made his final profession on 24 December 1525. Solano then served in various positions before becoming prior of the Monastery of Santo Domingo in Peñafiel.

paragraph: In September 1543, Solano was nominated as the second Bishop of Cuzco by Emperor Charles V. Without waiting for papal confirmation and still not consecrated to the episcopacy, Solano took the opportunity to embark to Peru with the Viceroy Blasco Núñez Vela. They left Sanlúcar de Barrameda on November 3, 1543 and arrived at Nombre de Dios in modern Panama on January 10 of the following year. On January 24, 1544, Solano set sail from Panama, landing at Tumbes, Peru, on March 4 and continuing the journey by land to Lima.

paragraph: Due to the rebellion of Gonzalo Pizarro, Solano was unable to enter Cusco and take possession of his see. Instead, he joined the royal army. He was first able to enter Cusco on 3 November 1545, and was finally consecrated as bishop on October 24, 1546 by his fellow Dominican friar, Jerónimo de Loayza, the newly elevated Archbishop of Lima. He was, however, forced out of the city after the Battle of Huarina in 1547. Because of his loyalty to the king, Solano roused the ire of the rebel Francisco de Carvajal, who commented that he, "having sat in his church and prayed for peace among Christians, walked around the camp like a field marshal". After the defeat at Huarina, Solano joined the forces of Pedro de la Gasca. He was present at the Battle of Jaquijahuana, which decisively ended the uprising in favor of the royalist Viceroyalty of Peru.

paragraph: As bishop, Solano was an eager defender of the rights of the native Peruvians. He obtained money from the Spanish "conquistadores" from the booty they had gained in their victory with the purpose of relieving the suffering of the native population, with which he built the Hospital de San Lázaro. This hospital, finished in 1552, was the first of its kind in Peru. His episcopacy also saw the laying of the foundation of the current Cathedral of Cusco. He was the principal consecrator of García Díaz Arias, the first Bishop of Quito (1547); and the principal co-consecrator of Martín de Calatayud, the third Bishop of Santa Marta (1547).

paragraph: Solano returned to Spain in October 1560, seeking support in his efforts to curb the behavior of the conquerors as well as the division of his diocese, which he considered too large for a single bishop. Having failed in Spain, he traveled to Rome, hoping to interest Pope Pius IV in his cause. Once again he failed and resigned as bishop in 1562. Solano retired to the Dominican convent of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. In his later days he was instrumental in transforming the convent's "studium" on the model of the College of St. Gregory at Valladolid in his native Spain into the College of St. Thomas to which he left his entire estate. The college would later be transformed into the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, commonly called the "Angelicum".

paragraph: Solano died in Rome on February 19, 1580.

paragraph: Prætextatus (bishop of Rouen)

paragraph: Saint Prætextatus (died 25 February 586), also spelled "Praetextatus", "Pretextat(us)", and known as Saint Prix, was the bishop of Rouen from 549 until his assassination in 586. He appears as a prominent character in Gregory of Tours’ "Historia Francorum" ("History of the Franks"). This is the principal source from which information on his life can be drawn. He features in many of its most notable passages, including those pertaining to his trial in Paris (in 577) and his rivalry with the Merovingian Queen Fredegund. The events of his life, as portrayed by Gregory of Tours, have been important in the development of modern understandings of various facets of Merovingian society, such as law, the rivalry between kings and bishops, church councils, and the power of queens.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Marriage of Merovech and Brunhild, Trial and Exile.

paragraph: He was present at the councils of Paris (557), where marriages within certain degrees of consanguinity were declared incestuous, and at Tours (566). In 575, Prætextatus presided as minister over the wedding of Merovech of Soissons, son of King Chiperic I of Neustria, and Brunhild, the widow of King Sigebert I of Austrasia and Merovech’s own aunt, in his diocese of Rouen. King Chiperic opposed this marriage and later brought charges against Prætextatus, accusing him of bribing his people with gifts to turn them against his kingship. Prætextatus was temporarily banished and a council of bishops convened in the Church of Saint Peter the Apostle in Paris to decide his fate. At this council, which took place in 577, Chilperic accused Prætextatus of further wrongdoing, including conspiracy, contravening the canons (church law) and theft. It is heavily implied by Gregory of Tours that these accusation were false, as is noted by Edward James. Once the King had retired Gregory spoke up for the bishop, giving a long speech on the topic. Prætextatus eventually confessed to his crimes, although it is implied by Gregory that he was manipulated into doing so. Chilperic then forged canons that stipulated a bishop in Prætextatus’ position must be excommunicated. Gregory again spoke up for him, but to no avail: Prætextatus was forced into exile on the island of Jersey.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Return from Exile.

paragraph: Prætextatus returned from his enforced exile at the request of the people of Rouen sometime after the death of Chilperic in 584. Upon returning he went to the Burgundian King Guntram asking for an investigation into to the case that had brought against him in 577. Fredegund, the now widow of Chilperic, opposed this request and argued that Praetexatus should not be awarded his old diocese on account of his having been exiled following the decision of forty-five bishops. Guntram moved to call another council to address this issue but before it could be convened Bishop Ragnemond of Paris spoke on Prætextatus’ behalf, saying that the proper course of action in his case would have been to have made him do penance, not have him exiled. As a result, Prætextatus was reinstated as bishop of Rouen.

paragraph: Around this time Praetexatus made an appearance at the Council of Mâcon. At this council he read some prayers that he had composed himself while in exile, although they were received somewhat negatively. Yitzhak Hen has cited this as an example of the ‘liturgical creativity’ prevalent at the time.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Death.

paragraph: Praetextus was assassinated at his own church in Rouen on 24 February 586. Gregory of Tours implies strongly that this was arranged by Queen Fredegund. The assassination, he writes, occurred shortly following a "bitter exchange of words" between the two. Fredegund visited Prætextatus on his deathbed. At this meeting he accused her of having organised the whole thing. It is likely that this was a fair accusation given that Fredegund later had the man who committed the act beaten – this man subsequently implicated her in the assassination plot. It is not, however, certain that Fredegund was behind the assassination, as is exemplified by a later passage in which King Guntram refers to the event as remaining worthy of investigation.

paragraph: Prætextatus’ assassin was killed, after his confession, by a man referred to as his nephew, which suggests the bishop had at least one sibling. This is the only reference to any of his family members.

paragraph: Joaquin Martinez Pizarro has argued that Praextextatus’ rivalry with the ‘Jezebel-like Fredegund’ is part of a typological tradition, adhered to by Gregory of Tours, that made contemporary rivalries between bishops and rulers echo Old Testament rivalries between prophets and kings.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Prætextatus’ life is notable for various reasons. His heavy participation in a number of , one of which was his own trial, mean he took part in some of the most revealing events of the Merovingian period, at least in terms of the workings of the church and its relationship with secular politics. Hen states that these councils ‘were [...] a political stage, where bishops could fight each other over power, control and prestige, and where the King and his men could settle accounts with unfaithful bishops’. She cites Prætextatus’ trial as a prime example. Moreover, Gregory Halfond has stated that at this trial, even though he is being tried for treason and stealing royal property, Prætextatus still had to be brought before an episcopal court: this highlights the power of the Merovingian church, even against aggressive kings like Chilperic.

paragraph: Historians have also suggested that the trial of Prætextatus serves as a key example of Gregory of Tours’ pedagogical bent, whereby many of the events he portrays are meant to serve as instructive examples of proper church practice. Martin Heinzelmann cites Gregory's speech on Prætextatus’ behalf as the chief example of this. As such, this event in Prætextatus’ life was an important part of Gregory's literary aims.

paragraph: Prætextatus has been canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.

paragraph: Eleanor of England, Countess of Bar

paragraph: Eleanor of England (18 June 1269 – 29 August 1298) was an English princess, the eldest surviving daughter of King Edward I of England and his first wife, Queen Eleanor of Castile.

paragraph: What evidence exists for Eleanor's early years suggests that while her parents were absent on Crusade between 1270 and 1274, she became very close to her paternal grandmother, Eleanor of Provence, with whom she continued to spend a good deal of time. She was also close to her sickly brother Henry. On one Pentecost Eve, Henry and Eleanor were given two partridges for their dinner, for a special treat.

paragraph: For a long period Eleanor was betrothed to King Alfonso III of Aragon. Alfonso's parents were under papal interdict, however, because of their claims to the throne of Sicily, which were contrary to the papal donation of the Sicilian throne to Charles I of Naples, and despite the Aragonese ruler's repeated pleas that Edward I send his daughter to them for marriage, Edward refused to send her as long as the interdict remained in place. In 1282 he declined one such request by saying that his wife and mother felt the girl, who had just turned 13, was too young to be married, and that they wanted to wait another two years before sending her to Aragon. Alfonso died before the marriage could take place.

paragraph: Eleanor subsequently married the French nobleman, Henry III, Count of Bar on September 20, 1293, and had two children:

paragraph: According to Kenneth Panton, Eleanor is credited with a daughter called Eleanor (b.1285), who supposedly married a Welshman named Llywelyn ap Owain.

paragraph: She died at Ghent on 29 August 1298. Eleanor was buried in Westminster Abbey but the location of her grave in the Abbey is unknown.

paragraph: Peter Rawson Taft

paragraph: Peter Rawson Taft (April 14, 1785 – January 1, 1867) was an American politician. He was President William Howard Taft's paternal grandfather.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and family.

paragraph: Peter was born to Aaron Taft and Rhoda Rawson on April 14, 1785 at Uxbridge in Worcester County, Massachusetts. The Aaron Taft House in Uxbridge is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Aaron was a farmer, first in Uxbridge and then later in Townshend, Vermont. Aaron Taft, Peter Rawson Taft's father (1743–1808), in turn, was the son of Peter Taft. Peter was the grandson of Robert Taft Sr. (1640-1725), the first Taft who immigrated to America and settled at Mendon and Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Peter Rawson Taft was then the 5th generation descendant of the first Taft in America, Robert Taft Sr. Uxbridge and Mendon were the birthplace of the famous American Taft family. Rhoda Rawson, the mother of Peter Rawson Taft, was a descendant of Edward Rawson, who came from England to New England in 1636, and was for thirty-five years secretary of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Aaron Taft, the father of Peter Rawson Taft, was educated at Princeton College. Meeting with severe losses in Massachusetts, he took his family to Vermont around 1800, when Peter Rawson Taft was about 15 years of age. Peter Rawson Taft was reared a farmer, with a common-school education in Uxbridge and Townshend. A Taft family story tells of Peter Rawson Taft leading a cow all the way from Uxbridge to Townshend, Vermont when the family moved.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and first child.

paragraph: Peter Rawson Taft married Sylvia Howard of Townshend, Vermont, Windham County, Vermont. She was the daughter of Levi Howard, and Bethiah Chapin of Townshend around 1810 in Townshend. Their first son was Alphonso Taft, born on November 5, 1810 at Townsend, Vermont. They had other children who followed.

paragraph: Section::::Career as a lawyer and legislator.

paragraph: He was a man of intellectual tastes and capacity, and educated himself after leaving school, so that he subsequently was admitted to the bar and practiced law. He served many years in the Vermont House of Representatives, and was judge of the Probate and County Courts of Windham County, Vermont.. Peter Rawson Taft I's son, Alphonso, was born in Townshend, Vermont. Peter Rawson Taft I, later moved with his family to Cincinnati, and the Taft Family grew to be a political dynasty in Cincinnati and Hamilton County as well as the State of Ohio, and the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Afterward.

paragraph: Peter's son, Alphonso Taft (1810–1891), became the U.S. Secretary of War (1876), and U.S. Attorney General (1876–1877). Alphonso Taft founded Skull and Bones at Yale. Peter Rawson Taft died at age 82 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Peter's grandson, William Howard Taft became the President of the United States from 1909-1913. He was also the only President to serve as Chief Justice of the United States. The Taft family continued the tradition of returning to Uxbridge for family reunions. Another grandson was Charles Phelps Taft, a newspaperman in Cincinnati who became the first owner of the Chicago Cubs.

paragraph: Kurt Brändle

paragraph: Kurt-Werner Brändle (19 January 1912 – 3 November 1943) was a German "Luftwaffe" military aviator during World War II, a fighter ace credited with 180 enemy aircraft shot down in over 700 combat missions. The majority of his victories were claimed over the Eastern Front, with 25 claims over the Western Front.

paragraph: Born in Ludwigsburg, Brändle, who already was a civilian motor-powered aircraft and glider pilot, volunteered for military service in the "Luftwaffe" of Nazy Germany in 1935. He was posted to "Jagdgeschwader" 53 (JG 53—53rd Fighter Wing) in 1939 and claimed 14 aerial victories on the Western Front. In May 1942 he was given command of II. "Gruppe" (2nd group) of "Jagdgeschwader" 3 "Udet" (JG 3—3rd Fighter Wing). Fighting on the Eastern Front, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 1 July 1942 after 49 aerial victories. In July and August 1942, he claimed a further 50 aerial victories in the southern sector of the Eastern Front. After claiming his 100th aerial victory he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves on 27 August 1942.

paragraph: On 5 July 1943 during the Battle of Kursk, Brändle achieved his 150th aerial victory and in August 1943 was transferred to the Western Front fighting in Defense of the Reich. There Brändle was killed in action on 3 November 1943 west of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. His body was washed ashore near Zandvoort on 30 December 1943.

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

paragraph: Brändle was born on 19 January 1912 in Ludwigsburg in the Kingdom of Württemberg, a federated state of the German Empire. His father was a "Meister", a master craftsman, in the field of precision mechanics. Following school, Brändle learned the trade of a surgical instrument maker and worked in his father's firm.

paragraph: Since his early youth he was very enthusiastic about flying and volunteered for military service in the "Luftwaffe" of the Third Reich on 10 December 1935. There he participated in a number of exercises and was promoted to "Leutnant" (second lieutenant) of the Reserves on 1 December 1936. In his civilian life, Brändle attained a pilot license and worked as a flight instructor. As an instructor, he trained roughly 150 students and logged more than 6,000 starts and 8,000 flight hours before he became a military aviator. In addition to his passion for motor power flight, he also was a glider pilot.

paragraph: In early 1937 Brändle passed his "Meister" examination in aircraft construction and in the same year was trained as a fighter pilot with "Jagdgeschwader" 134 "Horst Wessel" (JG 134—134th Fighter Wing), named after the martyr of the Nazi movement Horst Wessel. As of 1 February 1939, Brändle served with "Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment" 22 (22nd Flight Training Regiment) in Güstrow. There, he transferred from the reserve force to active service and was promoted to "Oberleutnant" (first lieutenant) on 1 June 1939. He was then transferred to the 4. "Staffel" (4th Squadron) of "Jagdgeschwader" 53 (JG 53—53rd Fighter Wing).

paragraph: Section::::World War II.

paragraph: World War II in Europe began on Friday 1 September 1939 when German forces invaded Poland. Brändle received the Iron Cross 2nd Class () on 20 April 1940. He claimed his first aerial victory on 10 May 1940 during the Battle of France, shooting down an "Armée de l'Air" (French Air Force) Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 south of Sedan. In total Brändle claimed two victories over France before he was wounded on 26 May 1940. During takeoff on a maintenance test flight he crashed into a Dornier Do 17 injuring himself in the head. He spent the next few weeks in the military hospital at Heidelberg.

paragraph: After recovering from the hospital, Brändle claimed his second victory during the Battle of Britain over the Royal Air Force (RAF) on 11 August 1940. On 26 August 1940, he was tasked with the leadership of 5. "Staffel" (5th Squadron) of JG 53. Following his fourth aerial victory, he was awarded the Iron Cross 1st Class () on 3 September 1940. He was officially appointed "Staffelkapitän" (squadron leader) of 5. "Staffel" on 15 September 1940. On 11 November 1940, he claimed his 6th and 7th aerial victories and was awarded the Front Flying Clasp of the "Luftwaffe" for Fighter Pilots () in Silver on 5 May 1941 and in Gold on 7 June 1941.

paragraph: The bulk of the "Geschwader"s air elements were moved via Jever, in northern Germany, to Mannheim-Sandhofen on 8 June 1941. There the aircraft were given a maintenance overhaul prior to moving east. The II. "Gruppe" was transferred to Neusiedel in East Prussia, present-day Malomožaiskojė in Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia, between 12–14 June. On 22 June the "Geschwader" crossed into Soviet airspace in support of Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union which opened the Eastern Front. There, Brändle claimed further victories and by the end of October 1941 was credited with 28 aerial victories.

paragraph: Brändle's unit was then relocated to the Western Front again in October 1941 where it was based at Leeuwarden in the Netherlands before it was moved to the Mediterranean theater in December 1941. Based at Comiso airfield, Brändle flew combat missions against the RAF during the Siege of Malta. There he was awarded the German Cross in Gold () on 25 February 1942 and four days later, on 1 March, he was promoted to "Hauptmann" (captain).

paragraph: Section::::World War II.:Group commander.

paragraph: On 1 May 1942, Brändle was appointed "Gruppenkommandeur" (group commander) of II. "Gruppe" of "Jagdgeschwader" 3 "Udet" (JG 3—3rd Fighter Wing), named after the World War I fighter ace Ernst Udet. Its former "Gruppenkommandeur", "Hauptmann" Karl-Heinz Krahl, had been killed in action over Malta on 14 April 1942. At the time, the "Gruppe" was stationed at Plzeň for rest and refit before it was relocated to the Eastern Front on 18 May 1942. Too late to participate in the Battle of the Kerch Peninsula, it was located on the left wing of Army Group South, assigned to an airfield at Chuguyev in the Kharkov area. Brändle scored the "Gruppe"s first victory after the relocation, claiming a Polikarpov R-5 reconnaissance bomber aircraft at 3:49 am on 20 May 1942. By this date, Brändle had accumulated 36 victories. He was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross () on 1 July 1942 for 49 aerial victories. On this day, he claimed his 53rd aerial victory, after he shot down a Ilyushin Il-2 "Sturmovik".

paragraph: Brändle often claimed multiple victories per day, three victories on 8 July 1942 took his tally to 58 and further three claims made on 10 July took his score to 61. On 16 July 1942 he filed four claims, numbers 64–67. He became an "ace-in-a-day" for the first time on 26 July 1942 when he shot down five enemy aircraft, aerial victories 73–77, and again five on 7 August 1942, 89 in total.

paragraph: In July and August 1942, he claimed 50 aerial victories in the southern sector of the Eastern Front, among them his 100th to 102nd victory on 23 August 1942. He was the 17th "Luftwaffe" pilot to achieve the century mark. For this achievement he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves () on 27 August 1942, the 114th officer or soldier of the Wehrmacht so honored. The presentation was made by Adolf Hitler personally.

paragraph: Brändle was promoted to "Major" on 1 March 1943. On 29 April 1943, he claimed his 135th to 138th aerial victories. On 5 July 1943, the first day of the Battle of Kursk (), he claimed five victories taking his total to 151. His II. "Gruppe" claimed 77 aircraft shot down on 12 July which included its 2,000 aerial victory of the war.

paragraph: Section::::World War II.:Defense of the Reich and death.

paragraph: In early August 1943, Brändle's II. "Gruppe" was withdrawn from the Eastern Front for service in Defense of the Reich on the Western Front. The "Gruppe" spent one-month training in northern Germany before they arrived at the Schiphol airfield near Amsterdam in the Netherlands on 12 September.

paragraph: On 3 November 1943, Brändle shot down two Republic P-47 Thunderbolts fighters escorting a formation of Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses on a mission targeting Wilhelmshaven. Later that day, he was killed in action west of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Following an attack by a group of Martin B-26 Marauders on Schiphol airfield, II. "Gruppe" scrambled to counter the attack. It is assumed that he was shot down in his Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 ("Werknummer" 26058—factory number) by Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) fighters under the command of Wing Commander Lloyd Chadburn. His body was later washed ashore near Zandvoort on 30 December 1943 and was buried at the Heroes Cemetery in Amsterdam (field 74, grave 405) one day later. His remains were moved in January 1944 before they were reinterred for a last time on 2 December 1947, this time at the cemetery Ysselsteyn (block CW, row 1, grave 25).

paragraph: Section::::Summary of career.

paragraph: Section::::Summary of career.:Aerial victory claims.

paragraph: Matthews and Foreman, authors of "Luftwaffe Aces — Biographies and Victory Claims", researched the German Federal Archives and found records for 170 aerial victory claims, plus five further unconfirmed claims. This number includes 16 aerial victory claims on the Western Front, and 154 Soviet Air Forces piloted aircraft on the Eastern Front.

paragraph: Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = "Planquadrat"), for example "PQ 18274". The "Luftwaffe" grid map () covered all of Europe, western Russia and North Africa and was composed of rectangles measuring 15 minutes of latitude by 30 minutes of longitude, an area of about . These sectors were then subdivided into 36 smaller units to give a location area 3 × 4 km in size.

paragraph: Otto Folin

paragraph: Otto Knut Olof Folin (April 4, 1867 – October 25, 1934) was a Swedish-born American chemist who is best known for his groundbreaking work at Harvard University on practical micromethods for the determination of the constituents of protein-free blood filtrates and the discovery of creatine phosphate in muscles.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Folin was born in Åseda, Småland in Sweden. He was the seventh of twelve children of Nils Magnus Folin and Eva Olson. He moved to America at the age of fifteen following two brothers and an aunt who had already settled there. He carried on his schooling in Stillwater, Minnesota. He moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota entering the University of Minnesota and completed his B.S in 1892.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1896, Folin returned to Sweden and began his research in the laboratory of Prof. Olof Hammarsten (1841-1932) at Uppsala University. In 1897, he left to work in the laboratory of the chemist, Ernst Leopold Salkowski at the Pathological Institute of Charité ("Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin") in Berlin, Germany. In 1890, he became a citizen of the United States. He joined the University of Chicago gaining his Ph.D. in 1898.

paragraph: In 1899 he was appointed assistant professor at West Virginia University. He moved to the McLean Hospital Boston in 1900 as a research biochemist, eventually moving to Harvard Medical School in 1907 as an associate professor of biological chemistry, becoming the Hamilton Kuhn Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology in 1909. Together with Vintilă Ciocâlteu Otto Folin designed the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent to detect polyphenols. In 1920, he co-developed with Hsien Wu the Folin-Wu method of assaying glucose in protein-free filtrates of blood.

paragraph: Folin was elected the president of the American Society of Biological Chemists (now the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) in 1909. He was a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and was awarded the Carl Wilhelm Scheele Medal of the Swedish Chemical Society in 1930.

paragraph: Shitou Xiqian

paragraph: Shítóu Xīqiān (700-790) () was an 8th-century Chinese Chán (Zen) Buddhist teacher and author. All existing branches of Zen throughout the world are said to descend either from Shitou Xiqian or from his contemporary Mazu Daoyi.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Life.

paragraph: The details of Shítóu's life are found in traditional biographies. His years of life are conventionally given as 700 to 790. He was born in Gaoyao County in Guangdong with the surname Chen.

paragraph: At a young age, he became a student of the great Zen patriarch Huineng for a short time prior to the latter's death. Shítóu later became a disciple of Huineng's successor, Qingyuan Xingsi. After becoming, in turn, Xingsi's successor, Shítóu resided and taught at Nantai Temple on Mt. Nanyue Heng in Hunan. There he lived on top of a large rock, hence his first name Shítóu, which translates to "Stone-head."

paragraph: After his death, he was given the honorary posthumous name "Wuji Dashi" (無際大師).

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Physical remains.

paragraph: There have been a series of disputed claims regarding the current location of Shitou's physical remains. There is a mummy at Mt. Sekito Temple in Japan which is said to be Shítóu's. Various Japanese sources state that this mummy was rescued by a Japanese traveller from a fire at a temple in Hunan during the chaos of the rebellion that overthrew the Qing Dynasty (1911–1912). Chinese sources often state instead that it was stolen by Japanese forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). Researcher James Robson argues that there is little evidence Shitou's body was mummified and that the remains enshrined at Mt. Sekito Temple are likely those of a different monk also named Wuji.

paragraph: Section::::Writings.

paragraph: Shítóu is credited with the authorship of two well-known Zen Buddhist poems. The "Sandokai" lays out a comprehensive view of the nature of truth. The "Song of the Grass Hut" is a paean to a life of secluded meditation.

paragraph: Section::::Influence.

paragraph: Scholar Mario Poceski writes that Shítóu does not appear to have been influential or famous during his lifetime:

paragraph: Sayings to the effect that Shitou and Mazu were the two great masters of their day date from decades after their respective deaths. Shítóu's retrospective prominence owes much to the importance of Dongshan Liangjie, a 9th-century teacher who traced his lineage back to Shítóu.

paragraph: Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh

paragraph: Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh (born 1978) is a musician and singer from County Kerry, Ireland. Until 2016, she was the lead singer for the traditional music group Danú, and from that year on she has been half of the electronica duo Aeons. Her name is pronounced Murr-en Nick OWL-eev.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh grew up in Dún Chaoin in County Kerry, as well as on Inis Oirr, the smallest of the Aran Islands, and Cape Clear Island, another small island off the coast of County Cork. All three of these communities are Gaeltachtaí (Irish speaking areas), and Muireann's first language is Irish. This was to influence her later career, due to her early exposure to Irish language song, especially in the Sean nós tradition. She began playing piano and fiddle at an early age, before progressing to the whistle and eventually the flute. Muireann's early musical experiences also included accompanying her father, traditional Irish fiddle player Feargal Mac Amhlaoibh, to sessions. When Muireann moved to the West Kerry Gaeltacht, she joined the national folk theatre of Ireland, Siamsa Tíre. During the six years she spent with them, she participated in several of their major performances. While in Kerry her singing developed, learning and gaining influence from local singers such as the Begley family, Áine Ní Laoithe and Eilín Ní Chearna. She spent four years in Dublin attending the Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology earning a diploma in fine art. She then studied at the University of Limerick and was awarded an MA in Traditional Music Performance.

paragraph: Section::::Recording.

paragraph: Muireann's first recordings were on a CD of Irish traditional music and song performed by Geantraí, a group of musicians who performed a show of the same name in the Skellig hotel in Dingle. She also recorded on a number of CDs including "The Crooked Road" by William Coulter, "Cello" by Barry Phillips, and several compilation CDs. As part of the requirements for her MA in traditional music performance, Muireann produced a solo album of tunes and songs, entitled "Réalt na Maidine/Morning Star". A limited edition of this album was distributed, mainly locally in Dingle, although copies were also sold in the United States and Europe.

paragraph: Muireann's joining of traditional Irish group Danú in 2003 marked a new departure in her musical career. Ciarán O Gealbháin, Danú's former lead singer, left the band in 2003, and Muireann took over as singer and whistle player, occasionally joining band member Tom Doorley in playing the flute. She recorded her first album with Danú in 2003, called "The Road Less Travelled" (The American release of the album spelled the title Traveled). The addition of Nic Amhlaoibh to the band line-up was hailed as a success. Danú recorded an album of solos in 2004, entitled "Up in the Air", and Muireann played and sang on three tracks. 2005 saw the band release the album "When All is Said and Done". Muireann participated in the project "Hands Across the Water". This was a collaboration album with participation from dozens of high-profile traditional and folk musicians and singers, with the proceeds of album sales going to victims of the tsunami in southeast Asia. Muireann released her first major solo CD in 2006, entitled "Daybreak/Fáinne an Lae". It featured musicians such as Oisín Mc Auley and Éamonn Doorley from Danú, Gerry O Beirne, and John Doyle from Solas.

paragraph: In 2008, Muireann recorded "Dual" in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic with Julie Fowlis, Éamonn Doorley (of Danú) and Ross Martin to highlight the many similarities and differences between both Irish and Scottish Gaelic cultures. Dual was released in October 2008.

paragraph: In 2016, Muireann recorded the single "Bealtaine" as one half of the electronica duo "Aeons", together with Pádraig Rynne. They proceeded to release a second single, "An Fhuil", later that year, followed by a full album, "Fís", in 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Television and radio.

paragraph: Muireann's television appearances include "The Highland Sessions", a BBC Four television series featuring Irish and Scottish Gaelic music. Other television work includes "The Late Late Show", "Amuigh Faoin Spéir" (produced by Éamonn de Buitléir), "The History of Irish Dance", "Léargas", and "An Ghaeilge Bheo". BBC Alba appearances include performing and co-presenting (with Julie Fowlis) "Cuirm@Celtic" and "Dà-Fhillte".

paragraph: Radio work includes "Rattlebag" and "The Late Session with Aine Hensey" on RTÉ, and "An Saol ó Dheas" on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.

paragraph: Elinor Fair

paragraph: Elinor Fair Martin (born Eleanore Virginia Crowe; December 21, 1903 – April 26, 1957) was an American motion picture actress.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Eleanore Virginia Crowe was born on December 21, 1903 in Richmond, Virginia to Harry Crowe, a salesman, and Helen Crowe. Her older brother Donald died in 1904 just four months short of his third birthday. During her childhood her family relocated multiple times.

paragraph: When Fair was elected a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1924, she had already been in films for a number of years, and in vaudeville before that. She did some of her best work under contract to Cecil B. DeMille, appearing in such productions as "Yankee Clipper" and "Let 'er go Gallagher". She also played in a handful of talkies, (often reduced to minor roles) before disappearing from the big screen in 1934.

paragraph: From 1926 to 1929, she was married to cowboy actor, William Boyd. Boyd's proposal was unique—while filming a scene for the DeMille film "The Volga Boatman" (1926), Boyd's character professes his love for Fair's character. However, what audiences were not aware of (due to "The Volga Boatman" being a silent film) was that Boyd was actually proposing for real, and that Fair accepted in character and in real life. They did not have any children together.

paragraph: William Davison, 1st Baron Broughshane

paragraph: William Henry Davison, 1st Baron Broughshane, KBE, FSA, JP, DL (1872 – 19 January 1953) was a British peer and Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Kensington South for twenty-four years.

paragraph: Davison was born in Broughshane, County Antrim, the son of Richard Davison and his wife Annie "née" Patrick. He was educated at Shrewsbury and graduated from Keble College, Oxford, in 1895 with a Bachelor of Arts. In 1895, he was admitted to the Inner Temple as a barrister and earned his Master of Arts from Keble three years later in 1898. That same year, he married Beatrice Mary Roberts, a daughter of Sir Owen Roberts (and future great-aunt of Anthony Armstrong-Jones) and they later had four children.

paragraph: In 1913, he became Mayor of Kensington, where he was resident. During the Great War he was solely responsible for raising, equipping, clothing, housing and selecting the officers for the 22nd 'Kensington battalion' of the Royal Fusiliers. The new volunteer battalion was greeted with great enthusiasm, Davison enthusing their patriotism, encouraging his heroes to great efforts. He was a popular figure in the Royal Borough. In taking the rank of Major he went with them to train on the Sussex Downs. In 1917 the GOC General Barker wrote "The 22nd never lost a trench or failed their comrades in the day of battle." For which effort he was knighted in the 1918 New Year Honours when he was selected for the seat of Kensington South and elected for the Coupon on 14 December 1918.

paragraph: Davison was a very active Unionist member in regular attendance at debates. Although an English backbencher he had spent time in Ireland taking its historical disadvantages very seriously. In 1919 he supported the police application to the Coalition government for extra taxes, pay and pension arrangements in that troubled province. As well as the armed services, he promoted pensions for millions of servicemen and women after demobilisation. He called on the government to give more transparent explanations as to the cost of its taxation demands, and early on was one of the MPs behind a deposit system towards responsible candidate selection at election time. Davison commented widely on industrial matters while pointing out that he was neither a miner nor an owner, a truly impartial position, in his opinion: supporting "improved conditions" and a decent standard of living for miners, and a fair price for coal. Fairness extended also to bacon and butter for the Irish people in the midst of a war against Britain; and also towards the defeated Germans who should not in his opinion have lost so much in reparations. Davison believed in free trade, commodification and price reduction of items like tobacco. In one speech he linked "high prices resulting in national unrest" to the need for increased industrial production.

paragraph: Sir William did much for the conservation of the Royal Borough. In parliament he spoke against demolition of listed buildings by the council. During the war he was a loyal friend to Churchill, defending the PM when the Conservatives were verbally attacked in the Commons by truculent Labour left-wingers. From the very outset Davison had pressed Chamberlain to take prompt action against the British Union of Fascists leader Sir Oswald Molsey. He stood up for the poor in war-torn London asking for workman dwelling's to be exempt for the War Damage Contribution tax. Observing in one debate that in his constituency there was a "notable lack of panic."

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He married Beatrice, daughter of Sir Owen Roberts of Henley Park and Plas Dinas in 1898. They had two sons later to inherit the title, and two daughters. In 1929, he divorced his wife and was remarried on 6 June to Louisa Mary Constance, daughter of Major Charles Marriott. The following year he joined the Conservative Party proper after two decades a Unionist. Davison resigned his seat, was raised to the peerage as Baron Broughshane, of Kensington, co. London, shortly after the general election, on 19 September 1945. In the subsequent by-election the Conservative candidate held on to the constituency. Lord Broughshane was a Freeman of the City of London and a wartime Master of the Clothworkers Company. He died in 1953.

paragraph: Albert VI, Duke of Mecklenburg

paragraph: Albert VI, Duke of Mecklenburg (; 1438 - before 27 April 1483) was a Duke of Mecklenburg.

paragraph: Albert was the son of Henry IV, Duke of Mecklenburg, and Dorothea of Brandenburg, the daughter of the Elector Frederick I of Brandenburg. In 1464, he and his brother John VI received from their father the bailiwicks of Güstrow, Plau, Laage and Stavenhagen as a source of income.

paragraph: Albert was co-regent with his father until his father died in 1477. Thereafter, he was co-regent with his brother Magnus II. In 1479, his brother Balthasar, who had until then been Coadjutor of the Bishopric of Schwerin, also desired to be co-regent of Pomerania. Their mother mediated an agreement to divide the Duchy. Albert received the former Principality of Werle, except for the city of Waren, the city and district of Penzlin, Klein Broda, the city and district of Röbel, Bede, and the bailiwick of Wredenhagen. Magnus II and Balthasar jointly ruled the rest of the Duchy.

paragraph: Albert died three years later, sometime before 27 April 1483. He was buried in the Cathedral in Güstrow. After his death, the Duchy of Mecklenburg was reunited.

paragraph: In 1466 or 1468, Albert married Catherine of Lindow-Ruppin. The marriage was childless.
