paragraph: Joey Gathright

paragraph: Joey Renard Gathright (born April 27, 1981) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Kansas City Royals, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox. He was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gathright attended Bonnabel High School in Kenner, Louisiana, where he played baseball & Football as a junior and boxed. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 32nd round of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft, and signed in August after playing that summer in a Louisiana Sugar Cane League in Sorrento, Louisiana.

paragraph: Section::::Major league career.

paragraph: Section::::Major league career.:Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2004–06).

paragraph: He made his major league debut with the Devil Rays on June 25, 2004.

paragraph: Gathright was arguably one of the fastest players in major league baseball when he made his major league debut, and led all major league outfielders in range factor (3.06) in 2006. He does not hit for power (with only one home run in his MLB career). From 2006 to 2009, he had the lowest slugging average of players with at least 1000 plate appearances at .298. He has a .263 lifetime batting average going into the 2009 season.

paragraph: Gathright was clocked at 6.1 seconds in the 60-yard dash. While in high school, he jumped over his coach's car. That jumping ability proved useful on the field, as in a 2008 spring training game Gathright jumped over Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, who was trying to tag him out en route to first base.

paragraph: In 2005, he hit .276 in 76 games, and drew 10 walks.

paragraph: Section::::Major league career.:Kansas City Royals (2006–08).

paragraph: On June 20, 2006, he was traded to the Kansas City Royals, along with infielder Fernando Cortez, for left-handed pitcher J. P. Howell. In the 2006 season, he batted .238 with a .321 on-base percentage, and a .292 slugging percentage.

paragraph: In 2007, Gathright broke up Bobby Jenks's major league record-tying streak of 41 consecutive batters retired. Gathright, who would have been the record 42nd batter, was able to get a hit.

paragraph: While playing center field, his range factor per nine innings was below average in 2007, 2008, and 2009. In 2008 Gathright saw his range factor fall to 2.53, below all but one center field starter in the league. He also hit .254 with a .311 on-base percentage, and only a .272 slugging percentage—below that of all starting outfielders in the major leagues.

paragraph: Gathright, while with the Royals, had a tendency to attempt to bunt for base hits in order to use his superior speed to reach base. However, he proved to be an inconsistent bunter, and thus his on-base percentage and batting average suffered.

paragraph: Section::::Major league career.:Chicago Cubs (2009).

paragraph: On December 16, 2008, three days after being non-tendered by the Royals, Gathright signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs. and made his debut April 6 against the Houston Astros. In 20 games for the Cubs, he hit .214.

paragraph: Pierre-René Rogue

paragraph: Blessed Pierre-René Rogue (11 June 1758 – 3 March 1796) was a French Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Congregation of the Mission – also known as the "Vincentians". Rogue exercised his pastoral duties in his hometown of Vannes and was known for his short stature and devotion to the faith. He was killed after he refused to take the oath of allegiance to the new French government. The townsfolk of Vannes nicknamed him "the wee priest" due to his short stature.

paragraph: His death at the guillotine as being in hatred of the faith allowed for Pope Pius XI to preside over the late priest's beatification in 1934 in Saint Peter's Basilica.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Pierre-René Rogue was born on 11 June 1758 as the sole child to Claudio Rogue (d. c. 1758) and Francisca Loisea (d. 1812). His mother nicknamed him as "Renotte". He was born at the same time his father was absent on a business trip and died before he could return home. Rogue was baptized on 12 June and suffered from six bouts of pneumonia before the age of twelve.

paragraph: After he completed his studies at the age of seventeen in Saint-Yves college in 1775 he moved to Bourges with maternal relatives and then returned home before he decided to commence his studies for the priesthood. He commenced his studies in 1776. The Congregation of the Mission staffed it and oversaw the education of the prospective priests. He received tonsure and the minor orders in 1779 while receiving the subdiaconate in 1780 and the diaconate in 1781. Rogue received his ordination on 21 September 1782 from the Bishop of Vannes Sébastien-Michel Amelot. He celebrated his first Mass the following 22 September. Rogue entered the Vincentians and after he spent time at the Paris mother-house was professed as a member on 25 October 1786. He became a professor of theological studies in 1787.

paragraph: The French Revolution saw the overthrow of King Louis XVI and the Kingdom of France after its outbreak in 1789. The oath of allegiance that the new government proposed caused consternation for the Church for it required priests to pledge themselves to the government rather than to the Church itself. Rogue was one of the priests who rallied in 1791 to the call of Pope Pius VI to refuse the oath despite Bishop Amelot fleeing to Switzerland. Monsignor Le Masne – Amelot's successor – was appointed on 27 March 1791 but dispersed seminaries in the area and fled to Spain despite high hopes he would promote the call of the pope. The parish he exercised his duties in was abolished on 30 April 1791.

paragraph: It was around this time he sought refuge with his mother on 2 January 1792 though soon fled and continued moving from place to place while changing clothes to continue his pastoral mission without being noticed. His mother's home was monitored at all times in order to see if Rogue would return so that the authorities could arrest him. His refusal to take the oath came on 14 August 1792 and Rogue went unnoticed for the most part during the Terror. Vannes authorities granted a full pardon to all priests who hid after refusing to take the oath in March 1795. This also halted the monitoring of his mother's home. It also allowed him to resume his pastoral duties.

paragraph: A man named Le Meut who found work due to Rogue's mother – and still received financial aid from her – alerted the authorities to Rogue and his "opposition" to the new French government which would result in Rogue's arrest. On the evening of 24 December 1795 he went to give the Viaticum to a sick man but was arrested and jailed in Vannes. He comforted other inmates and fellow jailed priests for two months.

paragraph: His first interrogation was held on 29 February 1796 despite the reluctance of officials who did not want to interrogate nor list him in a future trial. Rogue's mother was present at the tribunal of 2 March 1796 that condemned him to death while a citizen said to her: "You reared a monster!" upon her responding to his question of whether or not the priest was her son. The trial was conducted in the church that Rogue was ordained in.

paragraph: On 3 March 1796 at 3:00pm he and another priest were led out of the prison with their collars cut and their hair shaved from the neck with their hands tied behind their back. The pair were to be taken to the guillotine in the market square and he sang a song he wrote in prison on the path to the scaffold. He arrived at the scaffolding and noticed Le Meut there and so gave him his watch. The executioner was in fact one of Rogue's former pupils and was unsure of what he should do – but he nevertheless followed his orders. After he died a soldier present said: "He was not a man: he was an angel!" His mother was present at his death. Believers rushed to the guillotine to collect his blood on cloth brought forward. He was exhumed in 1934 and reinterred under the altar of the Vannes Cathedral.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Appearance.

paragraph: Rogue stood at four feet ten inches tall in his lifetime. He had brown hair around a bald pate with brown brows above weak-sighted blue eyes. He also had dimpled chin with a beard.

paragraph: Section::::Beatification.

paragraph: The beatification proceedings commenced in an informative process that started on 22 February 1908 and closed after the conclusion of its business on 9 January 1912. The process was tasked with collecting available evidence on Rogue's life and attesting to his potential saintliness. The process was conducted in the Diocese of Vannes where Rogue lived and worked.

paragraph: Theologians garnered all of his writings and issued their approval in a decree dated 22 March 1922. The role of the theologians was to compile a dossier on all of his letters and other writings in order to ascertain whether or not such texts remained inline with the magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. The approval of Rogue's works allowed for the cause to continue to the next stage despite the fact that an apostolic process was dispensed.

paragraph: These processes occurred despite the fact that the formal introduction of the cause did not come until 12 June 1929 in a move that bestowed the title of Servant of God on the late priest.

paragraph: The processes that had occurred were ratified before it could proceed to the Congregation of Rites for further assessments and received the approval of the historical commission on 1 June 1933 in a move that clarified no obstacles existed to the cause. Pope Pius XI approved the beatification of Rogue on 22 April 1934 and beatified him on 10 May 1934 in Saint Peter's Basilica.

paragraph: Edward Howland Robinson Green

paragraph: Edward Howland Robinson "Ned" Green (August 22, 1868 – June 8, 1936), also known as Colonel Green, was an American businessman, the only son of the miser Hetty Green (the "Witch of Wall Street"). In the late 19th century, he became a political ally in the Republican Party of William Madison McDonald, a prominent African-American politician.

paragraph: After his mother's death in 1916 and his inheritance of half her fortune, Green built a mansion in Round Hill, Massachusetts. He was noted for his stamp and coin collections.

paragraph: Section::::Youth.

paragraph: Edward Green was the first of two children of Hetty and Edward Henry Green. His sister Harriet Sylvia Ann Howland Green Wilks, called Sylvia, was born in 1871. Their mother amassed a fortune through her business dealings and was known as a miser.

paragraph: Ned broke his leg as a child, and Hetty first tried to have him admitted to a free clinic for the poor. Charles Slack, her biographer, said that she was recognized, she did not agree to pay for the medical services and treated him herself. The boy's leg did not heal properly and had to be amputated due to gangrene. Ned had to use a cork prosthesis. He grew to 6'4" (1.93 m) and 300 lb. (136 kg) as an adult.

paragraph: Green attended private schools, and then graduated from Fordham College in 1888. He later studied real estate law.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1893, Green was assigned by his mother to manage the Texas Midland Railroad, which she had acquired by foreclosure. He went to Terrell, Texas, and turned the ailing enterprise into "a model railroad boasting the first electrically-lighted coaches in the State." This was only one of many business ventures in which Green succeeded.

paragraph: Green was also active in state politics. In 1896, he began a long-lasting political partnership with William Madison McDonald, an African-American leader of the Black and Tan faction of the Republican Party from Fort Worth. In 1910, though a Republican, Green was made "a Colonel on the staff of a Democratic Governor of Texas".

paragraph: Section::::Social life.

paragraph: In contrast to his mother, Green spent lavishly and partied. He surrounded himself with attractive young women, who were well paid for their services.

paragraph: In 1911, Green was interviewed and sketched by Marguerite Martyn of the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch." She said that he was a "fine, stalwart, upstanding millionaire, middle-aged . . . wholesome and hearty, with a most ingratiating, breezy Western way with him." He told her that he received "thousands of letters" from women offering to marry him and that "a secretary had been appointed to take charge of this class of mail." Green told Martyn: "Why, it isn't my "money" they want to marry me for. It's "alimony.""

paragraph: As Hetty strongly opposed his marrying, he waited until after her death in 1916 to wed his longtime companion, Mabel E. Harlow, a former prostitute.

paragraph: Section::::Inheritance.

paragraph: He and his sister Sylvia each inherited half of their mother's fortune of $150 million or more. In addition to the various other homes he already owned, after his mother's death, Green built a mansion in Massachusetts, Round Hill, and another on Star Island. The Round Hill mansion was designed by the Anglo-American architect Alfred C. Bossom and completed in 1921 at a cost of $1.5 million.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: He died of heart disease at Lake Placid, New York, in 1936. In accordance with Green's last request, his widow had his amputated leg exhumed and reunited with the rest of his body.

paragraph: His widow and his sister fought over his estate, estimated at the time as $44,384,500 or "more than $40 million". Green had persuaded Mabel to sign a prenuptial agreement, which limited her to a $1,500 monthly stipend, but she challenged it in court. She eventually settled for $500,000.

paragraph: Four states, Texas, Massachusetts, Florida and New York, fought over who would collect $6 million in inheritance taxes. The United States Supreme Court awarded the money to Massachusetts.

paragraph: Section::::Interests.

paragraph: Green is known to philatelists for forming one of the great collections of postage stamps of the early 20th century, exceeded in size and value only by that of King George V. In 1918, he purchased the sheet of Inverted Jenny stamps from the dealer Eugene Klein for $20,000. On Klein's advice, he broke the sheet up into blocks. He put one stamp in a locket he gave to his wife.

paragraph: To numismatists, Green is known for his extensive coin collection. Most notably, he was one of the original owners of all five of the 1913 Liberty Head Nickels known to exist.

paragraph: He brought one of the first automobiles into Texas, "a two-cylinder St. Louis Gas Car surrey, designed by George Norris ["sic" - the correct name is Dorris]", and is reputed to have been involved in the first car accident in the state, when the car was forced off the road into a ditch by a farm wagon in October 1899 in Forney, Texas. He eventually owned a large fleet of cars, many modified with special transmissions on account of his prosthetic leg.

paragraph: In 1924, Green rescued the last American wooden whaling vessel of the 19th century, the bark "Charles W. Morgan", and exhibited her, embedded in sand, at Round Hill. Green was the grandson of Edward Mott Robinson, one of the ship's earlier owners. The Marine Historical Association bought her in 1941, when she became a showpiece of Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic, Connecticut.

paragraph: In 1927, he opened an airfield on his property, and kept the field well-maintained according to people who flew there. Following his son's kidnapping, Charles Lindbergh landed on the property in order to investigate a lead about his whereabouts.

paragraph: Section::::Interests.:Radio research and WMAF.

paragraph: Colonel Green had an early fascination with radio technology, dating back to the 1890s. In June 1922, the Round Hills Radio Corporation was incorporated under a commercial charter, with Colonel Green the company president. Under the initial charter, the company's function, in addition to engaging in radio broadcasting, was to sell radio, telephone and similar equipment. However, because the company did not actually engage in commercial activities, in August of the next year it was rechartered under the state's charitable and educational statutes, with its mission now described as "for radio experimentation, improving the uses of wireless and scientific experimentation in new devices to further the use of radio, and to broadcast, free of charge, concerts, weather reports, etc."

paragraph: To support the radio operations, a building containing a broadcast studio plus laboratory rooms was constructed adjacent to the estate's main building. MIT's President, Samuel W. Stratton and the Department of Electrical Engineering's new Communications Division were invited to experiment with the new technology, and the department was initially financed by Green.

paragraph: In September 1922, the Round Hills Radio Corporation received licenses for a broadcasting station, WMAF, in addition to one for experimental work, with the call sign 1XV. The broadcasting station, which was operated only during the summer months of 1923-1928, adopted the slogan "The Voice from Way Down East". For the summer of 1923, Green arranged for the American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T) to install a telephone line connection to rebroadcast the programs originating from WEAF (now WFAN) in New York City, which was the first permanent radio network link.

paragraph: Professor Edward L. Bowles set out to determine the signal strength and radiation patterns of different antenna arrays in 1926. Round Hill's radio station (which included an early radio telescope, built atop a water tower designed to look like the foundation of a lighthouse) followed Donald B. MacMillan's and Admiral Richard E. Byrd's polar expeditions, tracked the Graf Zeppelin dirigible during its maiden transatlantic flight, and was the sole communication link for areas devastated by the Vermont floods in 1927.

paragraph: Section::::Interests.:Van de Graaff.

paragraph: In 1933, Round Hill was the site of Robert J. Van de Graaff's electrical experiments. Van de Graaff had been brought to MIT from Princeton in 1931 to develop a high voltage research facility. He built a tall Van de Graaff generator in an abandoned airship hangar on Round Hill. The purpose was to provide the energy to accelerate subatomic particles to bombard atomic nuclei. The machine became operational in December 1933. It was capable of operating at 5,000,000 volts. After it became obsolete, the generator was donated in 1956 to the Museum of Science, Boston, and circa 2019 the generator continues to function as a major exhibit.

paragraph: Benito Quinquela Martín

paragraph: Benito Quinquela Martín (March 1, 1890 – January 28, 1977) was an Argentine painter born in La Boca, Buenos Aires. Quinquela Martín is considered the port painter-par-excellence and one of the most popular Argentine painters. His paintings of port scenes show the activity, vigor and roughness of the daily life in the port of La Boca.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: His birthday could not be determined precisely as he was abandoned on March 20, 1890 at an orphanage with a note that stated "This kid has been baptized, and his name is Benito Juan Martín". From his physical appearance, the nuns who found him deduced that he should be around twenty days old; thus March 1 is regarded as his birthday.

paragraph: Adopted by Manuel and Justina Molina de Chinchella when he was seven years old, he adopted his stepfather's surname (which would later be hispanized as "Quinquela").

paragraph: At the age of 14 he attended a modest night school of art in La Boca while working during day on the family's coal-yard. When he turned 17 years old he joined the Pezzini Stiattesi Conservatory, where he stayed until 1912.

paragraph: Section::::International Exhibitions.

paragraph: By 1910 he had started appearing in small art exhibitions, mainly in and around La Boca. He obtained the second prize on the "Salón Nacional" ("Spanish", "National Exhibition") in 1920. After an exhibition at Mar del Plata in the same year, he was sent as the Argentine representative to an exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil attended by local personalities including Brazilian president Epitacio Pessoa.

paragraph: By the 1920s Marcelo T. de Alvear and his wife were very fond of Quinquela Martín's works, and this admiration led to a lasting friendship. In 1922, Quinquela Martín was assigned as chancellor of the Argentine Madrid Consulate in Spain. On April 1923 he exhibited at the Círculo de Bellas Artes of Madrid. Two of his works were acquired by the institution ("Buque en reparación" and "Efecto de Sol"), while another two were acquired by the Museum of Modern Art of Madrid.

paragraph: In 1925 he set sail for France because—in his own words—""My trip to France is owed to President Alvear, who liked my work and wanted them to be judged by Paris"". The Musée du Luxembourg acquired "Tormenta en el astillero".

paragraph: In 1927 he left for New York City, where he arrived Benito on board the SS American Legion on January 17, 1928. According to immigration records he was able to read and write in Spanish, Italian and French. According to The New York Times, his paintings were shown for the first time in the United States at the Anderson Galleries. Accounts say two paintings were bought by "Mr. Havemeyer", who donated them to the Metropolitan Museum of New York. After this exhibition he made several others under sculptor Georgette Blandi's tutelage. Before returning to Buenos Aires, he was invited to Havana by Conde Ribero to exhibit there.

paragraph: On 1929, on a trip to Italy, he had an exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. The Museum of Modern Art of Rome acquired several paintings which were chosen by Benito Mussolini during the display. Quinquela Martín made his last trip in 1930, to London, where he exhibited at the Burlington Gallery. Several British museums acquired his paintings, including the Museum of Arts of London, Museum of Birmingham, Sheffield, Swansea, Cardiff, New Zealand and St. James's Palace.

paragraph: Section::::Late life and death.

paragraph: Back at home, he became a philanthropist and donated several works to La Boca and the city of Buenos Aires. He also bought the land, and donated the money to build a school, a Children's Dental Hospital, a place where women breast-fed orphaned children, and his home to be used as a museum. In March 15, 1974, at the age of 84, he married his lifelong assistant, Alejandrina Marta Cerruti. He died on January 28, 1977, in Buenos Aires, of heart complications, and was buried in La Chacarita Cemetery. He was buried in a coffin painted by him the previous year, stating "He who lived surrounded by colour cannot be buried in a plain box." On the cover of the coffin was a painting of the port of La Boca.

paragraph: Section::::Famous works.

paragraph: Among his most famous works are: "Tormenta en el Astillero" (Musée du Luxembourg, Paris), "Puente de la Boca" (St. James's Palace, London) and "Crepúsculo en el astillero" (Museo de Bellas Artes de la Boca Quinquela Martín, Buenos Aires).

paragraph: Sandra Eisert

paragraph: Sandra Eisert (born January 1, 1952) is an American photojournalist, now an art director and picture editor. In 1974 she became the first White House picture editor. Later she was named Picture Editor of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association in its annual competition. She contributed to 1989 earthquake coverage that won a Pulitzer Prize for the "San Jose Mercury News". As of 2012, she has her own business providing strategic planning for startups.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: In 1969, Eisert attended Indiana University Bloomington, a public research university in Bloomington, Indiana. Four years later she received the Bachelor of Arts, Journalism (B.A.J.).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After graduating, Eisert began working the photo desk at "The Louisville Times", which was the afternoon paper of the "Louisville Courier-Journal and Times". A year later, U.S. President Gerald Ford appointed Eisert to the position of White House picture editor, making her the first in that position at the White House. At that time, Eisert's transition was part of the first efforts towards gender parity in photojournalism that began in the 1960s and 1970s. Through her insider position at White House, Eisert advanced the area of photojournalism coverage of U.S. presidents. Writing about Eisert's contributions in his 2002 book, "Get the Picture: A Personal History of Photojournalism", picture editor John G. Morris noted:

paragraph: While at the Ford White House in 1975, Eisert served on the faculty of the Missouri Photo Workshop, an annual week-long photojournalism school based in Lee Hills Hall at the Missouri School of Journalism. Susan Ford (daughter of President Ford) attended the 1975 workshop. From 1975 to 2000, Eisert would go on to serve eighteen different years on the Missouri Photo Workshop faculty. In 1983, she described the Missouri Photo Workshop as being about "thinking": "thinking about photographs and how you do them is certainly relevant and in very short supply".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Life after the White House.

paragraph: After working in the Ford administration White House, Eisert worked as an Associated Press Washington Bureau picture editor, picture editor for "The Washington Post" and picture editor for the "Louisville Courier-Journal and Times". Eisert was hired by the "San Jose Mercury News" as design director and was promoted to senior graphics editor before becoming art director for its Sunday magazine ("West Magazine").

paragraph: In 1986, Eisert worked with a seventeen-member team of photography editors to edit "Day in the Life of America", a photo project by American photographer Rick Smolan. The 1986 Smolan project worked towards coordinating more than 200 photographers from 33 nations as part of one of the first attempts to catch the spirit of the United States in a single day on film. Eisert and her team were tasked with "" more than a quarter-million photo frames taken in the 24-hours of Friday, May 2, 1986 into 300 prints to be published in the book, "A Day in the Life of America Photographed by 200 of the world's leading photojournalists on one day".

paragraph: In 1988, Eisert designed the cover photo for the Monsters of Rock Tour 1988. That same year, Eisert received the Atrium Award for Graphic Design while working at the "San Jose Mercury News". At the "San Jose Mercury News" Eisert helped cover the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The staff won the Pulitzer Prize for General News Reporting next year, citing "detailed coverage of the October 17, 1989, Bay Area earthquake and its aftermath."

paragraph: Section::::Career.:1990s on.

paragraph: In 1990, Eisert was one of three judges who selected entries in a national exhibition of Women in Photojournalism that was taken on a national tour by the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), a professional society of still and video photojournalists. In 1991, Eisert received the 1990 Picture Editor of the Year award for Newspapers/Sports Picture Editing in the Pictures of the Year competition. This award recognized Eisert's work, "Field of Dreamers", for the "San Jose Mercury News". A year later, Eisert was part of the six-person team at "The Mercury News" that was awarded third place in the 1991 Picture Editing/Team Portfolio category of the University of Missouri's Pictures of the Year. She took second place in the 1992 Pictures of the Year's Magazine Feature Story Picture Editing category for her contribution to a story in "West Magazine".

paragraph: After her string of Pictures of the Year awards, the National Press Photographers Association awarded Eisert the Joseph Costa Award at the NPPAs annual convention in June 1993. At the time, Eisert worked as "West Magazine's" Art Director and was the first woman to win the award since it was first given out in 1954. That same month, Eisert designed the cover for the June 27, 1993 issue of "West Magazine", which subsequently received an award from the Sunday Magazine Editors Association as being one of the ten best Sunday magazine covers in the United States.

paragraph: In early February 1994, Eisert left her position at the "San Jose Mercury News" to become the director of photography at the "San Francisco Examiner" newspaper. On her hiring, "San Francisco Examiner" executive editor Phil Bronstein noted, Eisert was part of a team of twelve "Mercury News" photo editors that received the 1993 Pictures of the Year competition's Overall Excellence in Editing award. The team's Overall Excellence in Editing award was determined from more than 25,000 pages and photographs from more than 1,500 editors and photographers based on each team or individual's submitted overall body of work.

paragraph: In March 1994, Eisert received the Bronze award for photojournalism from the Society for News Design in the 15th annual Best of Newspaper Design competition based on her work on "West Magazine". That same year, Eisert photo-edited "Material World: A Global Family Portrait", a photo essay by American freelance photojournalist Peter Menzel. Two years later, Eisert photo-edited "Women in the Material World", a 1996 companion volume to "Material World" that focuses on women from 20 different countries, along with short essays. Eisert and "National Geographic Magazine" photographer Chris Johns conducted a 1996 conference on nature and documentary photography at the National Museum of Wildlife Art.

paragraph: In 1998, Eisert worked as senior graphics editor for Microsoft, where she designed the first MSNBC.com website. By that time, she had significant years as a photo editor. In reply to a 1998 written request from the University of Oregon visual communication and photojournalism professor Julianne H. Newton to give her thoughts on the role of a photo editor, Eisert replied:

paragraph: In giving advice to mentee photojournalist Anna Marie Remedios at a 2005 Women in Photojournalism conference about family and career, Eisert noted: "Don't give up your life for your career. It's not worth it. You will be alone like I am". As of 2012, Eisert provides strategic planning for startups through Videre, her own company based in Redmond, Washington.

paragraph: Jeong Seon

paragraph: Jeong Seon () (1676–1759) was a Korean landscape painter, also known by his pen name Kyomjae ("humble study"). His works include ink and oriental water paintings, such as "Inwangjesaekdo" (1751), "Geumgang jeondo" (1734), and "Ingokjeongsa" (1742), as well as numerous "true-view" landscape paintings on the subject of Korea and the history of its culture. He is counted among the most famous Korean painters. The landscape paintings that he produced reflect most of the geographical features of Korea. His style is realistic rather than abstract.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Jeong was born in the Jongno District of Seoul, in the Cheongun-dong neighborhood, in 1676. Unlike most painters of the time, he was not born into a wealthy family, but a poor yangban family. The eldest son of Jeong shi-ik (1638–1689), Jeong was born on the third day of the first lunar month in 1676 (equivalent to February 16 in the Gregorian calendar). He was a descendant of illustrious and gentry families. His family originally came from Kwangju. Jeong's "cha" was Wonbaek and his "ho" was Nangok. His best known pen name is Kyomjae, which he chose himself.

paragraph: The poverty he experienced in his youth made him pursue his career as a painter. He was proficient at Zhou-I and astronomy, which he learned while serving as a Geomgyosu (兼敎授; professor extraordinaire). He worked at the Bureau of Painting creating landscapes for patrons and clients. In March 1716, at age 41, he started his tenure at a Geomgyosu of Gwansanggam (觀象監, Office for Observance of Natural Phenomena).

paragraph: He was discovered by an aristocratic neighbour who recommended him to the court. He soon gained an official position. Jeong is said to have painted daily, with a prolific output until old age. He died on the 24th day of the third lunar month in 1759 (equivalent to April 20 in the Gregorian calendar).

paragraph: Section::::Significance.

paragraph: Jeong was one of the most famous Korean painters. He inspired other Korean artists to follow suit, leaving a lasting impact on Korean art of the Joseon era. He was the most eminent painter in the late Joseon Dynasty (1700–1850). Jeong explored the scenic beauty of the capital city of Hanyang (Seoul), the Han River, the East Sea, and the Diamond Mountain. He is the first painter of true-view Korean landscapes. Differing from earlier techniques and traditional Chinese styles, he created a new style of painting depicting the virtues of Korea.

paragraph: By the end of the decade, Jeong had developed his own, more realistic style, likely under the influence of the Sirhak movement. This set him apart from the then-prevailing Chinese literati tradition of idealised and abstract landscape art. His grandson, Jeong Hwang (䜁ό, 1737–?), displayed the true-view landscape style in addition to genre painting.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Jeong was one of the few known Korean painters to depart from traditional Chinese styles. It is reported that he frequently left his studio and painted the world around him, as he could see it. His paintings are classified as "Southern School", but he developed his own style by realistically portraying natural scenes such as mountains and streams with bold strokes of his brush.

paragraph: A major characteristic of his work is intermixed dark and light areas, created by layers of ink wash and lines. His mountains are punctuated by forests, which in turn are lightened by mists and waterfalls. Vegetation is made from dots, a technique that bears the influence of Chinese painter Mi Fei (1052–1107). Jeong's style would influence generations of Korean artists, and become one of the iconic images of Korean nationalism.

paragraph: Olive Kelso King

paragraph: Olive May Kelso King (30 June 1885 – 1 November 1958) was an adventurer and mountain climber. During World War I she drove ambulances for the Scottish Women's Hospitals and later the Serbian Army. After the war she raised money for the Serbian people and later in life she was a public speaker.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Olive King was the daughter of the Sydney company director Sir Kelso King and his wife Irene Isabella. Educated at home, at Sydney Church of England Girls Grammar School and later in Germany, she led an adventurous life that included climbing Mexico's Mount Popocatepetl with three male companions.

paragraph: Section::::World War I.

paragraph: On a visit to England, war broke out. Olive served briefly as an ambulance driver in Belgium, supplying her own vehicle (ALDA), a lorry which she had converted into a 16-seater ambulance and christened 'Ella the elephant'. In 1915 Olive joined the Scottish Women's Hospitals "(Girton and Newnham Unit)" and was sent to the Sainte-Savine field hospital, near Troyes, in France. Conditions at the field hospital were tough. Wounded men were housed in canvas tents connected by long lines of duckboards in muddy fields adjacent to the "Château de Chanteloup".

paragraph: In November 1915, the unit was sent to the Macedonian front, landing at Salonika, Greece and moving up to Gevgelija on the Greco-Serbian border. Six weeks later the Bulgarian forces were advancing rapidly and the hospital had to be evacuated in 24 hours, a seemingly impossible task for 30 women, but luckily they were helped by 40 Royal Engineers. By midnight the whole staff had got away except the three female chauffeurs. It was Kelso King's decision to head for the nearest railway station. They managed to get themselves and their ambulances on the last train before the station was bombed. Thirteen French ambulance drivers, who tried to make their way to Salonika via a rough track by Doiran, were ambushed by the Bulgarians, their cars taken, and all killed or taken prisoner.

paragraph: By the end of July 1916, Olive had left the Scottish Women's Hospital and joined the Serbian army as a driver attached to the Headquarters of the Medical Service at Salonika. By this time the Serbs had lost most of their transport and 'Ella' was one of only three cars attached to the Medical Headquarters.

paragraph: On 18 August 1917, the day of the Great Thessaloniki Fire of 1917, Olive May Kelso King transported people and records to safety, driving for twenty four hours at a stretch. For this effort, Olive was awarded the Serbian silver medal for bravery.

paragraph: Section::::Post War and Death.

paragraph: After the war, Olive set up seventeen canteens in Serbia to provide necessities at cost price or below. The last canteen closed in 1920. She was awarded the Order of St Sava for her post-war efforts.

paragraph: Back in Australia, Olive was active in the Girl Guides Australia and gave talks about her wartime experiences. During World War II she was an examiner at de Havilland Aircraft Pty Ltd.

paragraph: She moved to Melbourne in 1956 and died there in November 1958.

paragraph: Hudjefa I

paragraph: Hudjefa (Ancient Egyptian for "erased" or "missing") is the pseudonym for a 2nd dynasty pharaoh as reported on the Turin canon, a list of kings written during the reign of Ramses II. Hudjefa is now understood to mean that the name of the king was already missing from the document from which the Turin canon was copied. The length of the reign associated to Hudjefa on the canon is 11 years. Because of the position of Hudjefa on the Turin list, he is sometimes identified with a king Sesochris reported in the "Aegyptiaca", a history of Egypt written by the Egyptian priest Manetho in the 3rd century BC. Manetho credits this pharaoh with 48 years of reign. Egyptologists have attempted to relate Hudjefa with archaeologically attested kings of the period, in particular Seth Peribsen.

paragraph: Section::::Name sources.

paragraph: The name "Hudjefa" appears only in the Royal Table of Sakkara and in the Royal Canon of Turin. Both king lists describe Hudjefa I as the immediate successor of king Neferkasokar and as the predecessor of king Khasekhemwy (here named "Bebty").

paragraph: Section::::Identity.

paragraph: Egyptologists and historians have had great difficulty linking Hudjefa I to any archaeologically identified ruler. The problem is that "Hudjefa" is not a personal name in the conventional sense. "Hudjefa" means "erased" and might reveal that the original king's name, originally listed in a document or inscribed on some object, was unreadable when the scribe tried to compile the king list. It is thought that a scribe simply noted "erased", but then erroneously put the word into a cartouche, thus making it look like a personal name. Later scribes and students of Egyptian history misinterpreted the arrangement and adopted it into their documents as a king's name.

paragraph: The ancient Greek historian Manetho probably called Hudjefa I ""Sésôchris"" and reported that this king's body had a measurement of "five cubits in its height and three hands in its breadth". Egyptologists doubt the basis of this observation as no burial site for Hudjefa I has ever been found.

paragraph: Egyptologists such as T. Dautzenberg and Wolfgang Helck once considered that Hudjefa I might be identical with king Seth-Peribsen. To support their theory, they pointed out that an 11-year reign – as noted in the Royal Canon of Turin – would be inconsistent with a king whose name has been lost. Rather, in their opinion, it would make sense if the ruler's name was not allowed to be mentioned in later times. This was already considered to be the case of king Peribsen, whose birth name was banished from Ramesside king lists.

paragraph: Section::::Reign.

paragraph: Egyptologists such as Wolfgang Helck, Nicolas Grimal, Hermann Alexander Schlögl and Francesco Tiradritti believe that king Ninetjer, the third ruler of 2nd dynasty and a predecessor of Peribsen, left a realm that was suffering from an overly complex state administration and that Ninetjer decided to split Egypt to leave it to his two sons (or, at least, two chosen successors) who would rule two separate kingdoms, in the hope that the two rulers could better administer the states. In contrast, Egyptologists such as Barbara Bell believe that an economic catastrophe such as a famine or a long lasting drought affected Egypt. Therefore, to better address the problem of feeding the Egyptian population, Ninetjer split the realm into two and his successors founded two independent realms, until the famine came to an end. Bell points to the inscriptions of the Palermo stone, where, in her opinion, the records of the annual Nile floods show constantly low levels during this period. Bell's theory is refuted today by Egyptologists such as Stephan Seidlmayer, who corrected Bell's calculations. Seidlmayer has shown that the annual Nile floods were at usual levels at Ninetjer´s time up to the period of the Old Kingdom. Bell had overlooked that the heights of the Nile floods in the Palermo stone inscription only takes into account the measurements of the nilometers around Memphis, but not elsewhere along the river. Any long-lasting drought can therefore be excluded.

paragraph: It is accepted amongst a number of Egyptologists that Hudjefa I had to share his throne with another ruler although it is unclear as to who that ruler was. Later king lists such as the Sakkara list and the Turin Canon list the kings Neferkara I and Neferkasokar as his predecessors and king Khasekhemwy as immediate successors. The Abydos list skips the rulers Neferkara I, Neferkasokar and Hudjefa I completely and name a king "Djadjay" (identical with king Khasekhemwy). If Egypt was already divided when Hudjefa I gained the throne, kings like Sekhemib and Peribsen would have ruled Upper Egypt, whilst Hudjefa I and his predecessors would have ruled Lower Egypt. The division of Egypt was brought to an end by king Khasekhemwy.

paragraph: Adolfo Tommasi

paragraph: Adolfo Tommasi (1851 in Livorno – 1933 in Florence) was an Italian painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Having left Livorno, Tommasi moved to Florence, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts and met Silvestro Lega, who taught Adolfo’s younger cousins Angiolo and Ludovico and spent a great deal of time with the Tommasi family. He also briefly studied under Carlo Markò the Younger, but the style of academic painting did not appeal to him.

paragraph: The first exhibited work, "Monte Acuto", won an award in 1877 at Florence, on the occasion of the Artistic-Industrial exhibition for the Feast of San Giovanni. In the 1880 exhibition at Turin, his "Dopo la brinata" generated controversy. The subject of the painting was a cabbage field affected by frost.

paragraph: The complaints took aim at the subject that it was a vast field of cabbages affected by frost. Some professors like Rivalta and Cecioni, thought him worthy of a top prize, who was indignant that he had not been discarded. Many newspaper printed bitter criticism, even calling it the work of a madman, and was also censored by Enrico Panzacchi, but others gave it large commendations. It was defended by Signorini. The illustrated magazine "L'Art" of Paris praised him.

paragraph: Having learned the technique of painting from life ("dal vero", that is, outdoors, outside the studio, and from direct observation), he presented a markedly naturalistic work at a show of the Società Donatello in 1880 and took part over the following years in the national exhibitions held in Turin (1884), Venice (1887) and Bologna (1888).

paragraph: In 1884 at Turin, exhibits: "il fischio del vapore" (The Steam Whistle), acquired by the Government for the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna of Rome. Camillo Boito in the journal "New Anthology" noted it mixed modern machinery with simple peasant images.

paragraph: Awarded a gold medal at the International Exposition of Watercolors, held by the 1893 Milanese Society for the Fine Arts and Permanent Exposition, he produced illustrations for his friend Giovanni Pascoli’s collection of poems entitled "Myricae" the following year. He painted a series of views of ancient villas and gardens at the end of the century and experimented during his last years of activity with a mixed technique of oils and pastel.

paragraph: Other works include: "Littorale Toscano" (1887); "Sull'Aia", (1888, Vienna); "Petriolo near Florence"; "Alla fonte"; "Una domenicani decembre"; "I nuovi viali of Florence"; "Le ore calde"; "Dopo il tramonto"; "Dopo l'acquazzone"; "Sull'imbrunire"; "Vagliatura del grano in montagna"; "Una via di Cutigliano": "La Cornia"; "Uggia"; "Lago Scaffalalo"; "Bella riva sull'Arno"; "Libro Aperto" (Appennino Pistoiese); "Caccia ai germani"; "Snows of March" ; "A far rena"; "I fiori per l'Angelo"; "Un giorno di scirocco a Peretola"; "La malerba"; "Strada provinciale genovese"; "Bagno di sole"; "Pineta nella riviera"; "Antignano"; "Dopo un giorno di libeccio" ; "Sole di settembre"; "Un giorno di freddo a Florence"; "Corollare for the via di Montenero"; "Caccia ai pettirossi"; "Di marzo"; "Ponte a Greve"; "La fonte"; "Fiori d' aprile"; "L'uscita dalla messa"; "June mid-day"; "December"; "Contro luce"; "Dopo la brina"; "Primavera"; "Return from Market"; and finally: "In parco e Dopo il tramonto".

paragraph: Nubnefer is the birth name of a king (pharaoh) who may have ruled during the 2nd dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The exact length of his reign is unknown and his chronological position is unclear.

paragraph: Section::::Name sources.

paragraph: The name "Nubnefer" appears on two black stone vessel fragments found in the Southern Galleries in the necropolis of king Djoser (3rd dynasty) at Sakkara, mentioning a building called "Menti-Ankh" ("Life may endure"), which was founded during the reign of king Nynetjer. Therefore, Egyptologists such as Peter Kaplony, Jochem Kahl and Francesco Tiradritti believe that Nubnefer's reign should be chronologically set close to that of Nynetjer. Nubnefer's name does not appear in any further contemporary or posthumous document.

paragraph: Section::::Identity.

paragraph: Egyptologists such as Battiscombe Gunn and Iorwerth Eiddon Stephen Edwards believe that the name "Nubnefer" could be the birth name of king Raneb. In contrast egyptologists such as Wolfgang Helck and Toby Wilkinson think that Nubnefer was the immediate successor of Nynetjer. Peter Kaplony identifies Nubnefer as a king who have ruled between the kings Wadjenes and Senedj.

paragraph: Angelo Trezzini (28 April 1827, Milan - 27 May 1904, Milan) was an Italian painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Enrolled at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts from 1844 to 1846, Trezzini served his pictorial apprenticeship in the studio of the Induno brothers, under the guidance of Domenico, his brother-in-law, and in close contact with Gerolamo, his comrade in arms in the First Italian War of Independence.

paragraph: In order to escape the Austrian army during the riots in Milan (1848), he took refuge with his grandparents in Astano, Switzerland, where he welcomed the Indunos, who had also fled. In 1859, he fought with the Hunters of the Alps, led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. In 1861, he won the Mylius Prize for genre painting.

paragraph: He then focused on military subjects and established himself as a painter of battle scenes in the 1860s. The following decade saw the introduction of anecdotal themes of a patriotic character, treated in a domestic and sentimental style, reflecting the models developed by the Induno brothers, the constant point of reference for all his work as a painter.

paragraph: He obtained a teaching post at a professional training school for young women in Milan in 1876 and was commissioned by various charitable institutions to paint portraits of their benefactors. A lithographer and illustrator, he also drew satirical cartoons for humorous journals.

paragraph: Sithathor

paragraph: Sithathor ("daughter of Hathor") was an Ancient Egyptian princess with the title "king's daughter". She is only known from her burial at Dahshur. Next to the pyramid of king Senusret III were found underground galleries as a burial place for royal women. Most of the burials were found looted, but there were two boxes for jewellery overlooked by tomb robbers. Both boxes contained an outstanding collection of jewellery. They were called the "first" and the "second treasure" of Dahshur. The first treasure was discovered on 6 March 1894 and belonged most likely once to Sithathor. Several scarabs with her name were found. The treasure contained a pectoral with the names of king Senusret II, one of the masterpieces of Egyptian goldwork. Other objects were golden shells, golden bracelets, a mirror and several stone vases. Sithathor is not known for sure outside her tomb. She was perhaps a daughter of Senusret III, but it is also possible that she was the daughter of Senusret II and buried as sister of king Senusret III next to him.
