paragraph: Eddie Robinson (baseball)

paragraph: William Edward Robinson (born December 15, 1920) is an American former Major League Baseball first baseman, scout, coach and front office executive of the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s who, during a 13-year playing career (1942; 1946–57), was on the roster of seven of the eight American League teams then in existence (with Red Sox as the sole exception). He is the author of an autobiography, published in 2011, titled "Lucky Me: My Sixty-five Years in Baseball". He is also the last surviving member of the 1943 "Navy World Series".

paragraph: Robinson is the last living person to win the World Series with the Cleveland Indians, as well as the oldest living player to play on a World Series-winning team and the oldest living member of the Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, and Washington Senators.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Born in the Northeastern Texas town of Paris, Eddie Robinson, a left-handed batter who threw right-handed, enjoyed his most prominent team moment when, at the age of 27, he contributed to his first team, the Cleveland Indians, winning the 1948 World Series. Although traded during that offseason, he was still at the top of his game and, at the next two teams, Washington Senators (1949–50) and Chicago White Sox (1950–52), experienced the most productive seasons of his time in the majors. Overall, he appeared in 1,315 games and batted .268 with 172 home runs. He did not play in the 1943 through 1945 seasons, due to his service in the US Navy during World War II.

paragraph: A four-time All-Star, he was the American League's starting first baseman for the midsummer classics of 1949 and 1952. The first game was a slugfest, 11-7, won by the American League, with a Robinson first-inning single off National League starter Warren Spahn driving in Joe DiMaggio. In the 1952 game, a rain-shortened 3-2 National League victory, Robinson singled in the American League's first run, scoring Minnie Miñoso, who had led off the fourth inning with a double.

paragraph: Upon retirement, he became a coach for the Baltimore Orioles and then moved into their player development department. A protégé of Orioles manager and fellow Texan Paul Richards, he followed Richards to the Houston Astros, then worked as the farm system director of the Kansas City Athletics during the tempestuous ownership of Charlie Finley in the mid-1960s. In he rejoined Richards in the front office of the Atlanta Braves. He succeeded Richards as general manager of the Braves during the 1972 season, serving through early 1976 in that post.

paragraph: Robinson then returned to the American League as a member of the Texas Rangers front office. In 1977, Robinson was named co-general manager (with Dan O'Brien) of the Rangers, and became sole GM from 1978–82. Although the Rangers posted winning seasons in 1977, 1978 and 1981, a disastrous 1982 campaign cost Robinson his General Manager job.

paragraph: Continuing in baseball as a scout and player development consultant, he found his last position as a scout for the Boston Red Sox, the only team of the "original eight" American League clubs that he did not play for.

paragraph: The last living Cleveland Indians player to win a World Series championship, Robinson attended Game 6 of the 2016 World Series between the Indians and Chicago Cubs at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Robinson currently lives in Fort Worth, Texas.

paragraph: Wang Guangying

paragraph: Wang Guangying (; August 1919 – 29 October 2018) was a Chinese entrepreneur and politician. He was one of the most prominent "red capitalists", a title bestowed on him by Premier Zhou Enlai. He founded Modern Chemical Works in the 1940s and served as Founding Chairman of China Everbright Group in the 1980s. His sister Wang Guangmei was the wife of President Liu Shaoqi, and for that connection he was persecuted and imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution, when Liu was ousted by Chairman Mao Zedong. Wang was rehabilitated after Mao's death and served as Vice Chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and Vice Chairperson of the National People's Congress (NPC).

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

paragraph: Wang was born August 1919 into a family of officials in Beijing, Republic of China. His father Wang Huaiqing () was educated in Japan and served in the Beiyang government. His mother Dong Jieru () was from a wealthy and progressive family. Three of her family members were executed in 1928 together with Li Dazhao, co-founder of the Communist Party of China. Wang Guangying was the sixth of 11 children (including three half-siblings), two years older than Wang Guangmei.

paragraph: He studied at the Department of Chemistry of Fu Jen Catholic University of Beijing and graduated in 1943. Soon afterwards he and a friend founded the Modern Chemical Works in Tianjin. It was during World War II, when much of China, including Tianjin, was under Japanese occupation. Machinery and materials were hard to come by, and Wang had to improvise and innovate to keep the factory running. He also started Tianjin Knitwear Factory.

paragraph: Section::::Early People's Republic of China.

paragraph: After the Communist Party won the Chinese Civil War and established the People's Republic of China in 1949, the new government began nationalizing the economy. Wang was cooperative in the process and remained manager of his factories, which were now owned by the state. In 1957, Wang was invited to a banquet Premier Zhou Enlai held for the Soviet leader Kliment Voroshilov, at which Zhou introduced Wang to Voroshilov as a "red capitalist", likely the first time the term was used in public.

paragraph: During the Cultural Revolution, he was severely persecuted for his relations with President Liu Shaoqi, the husband of Wang's sister Guangmei. Liu, denounced by Mao Zedong as China's "No. 1 Capitalist Roader", was ousted and died in prison in 1969. Wang Guangying was imprisoned for eight years.

paragraph: Section::::Post-Cultural Revolution.

paragraph: Wang was politically rehabilitated after the Cultural Revolution and was appointed Vice Mayor of Tianjin in 1979, serving until 1982. When Deng Xiaoping began the reform and opening era, Wang's business background became valuable again and he was tasked with establishing the state-owned China Everbright Group in Hong Kong to acquire foreign investment and technologies. He served as Chairman of Everbright from 1983 to 1989, during which he played a significant economic role as well as a major diplomatic role as an intermediary between China and the West. He invited many foreign dignitaries to visit Everbright, including American leaders Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger and Walter Mondale, Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita, and Indonesian President Suharto.

paragraph: From 1983 to 1993, Wang served two terms as Vice Chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). From 1993 to 2003, he served two more terms as Vice Chairperson of the National People's Congress (NPC). For twenty years in the two high-ranking positions, he performed mainly diplomatic roles and received many visiting foreign leaders.

paragraph: Wang died in Beijing on 29 October 2018, at the age of 99.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Badwan is an artist known for her work "100 Days of Solitude", for which she spent an extended period of time creating a beautiful space in her room where she could isolate herself and escape from reality of Gaza. She says living in a city where she "lost basic rights as a human being" inspired her to "create an alternative world" in her room. This project is composed of 25 photographic self-portraits taken in that room since "13 November 2013" that portray her during her twenty months of self-imposed exile, started after she was abused by members of Hamas in Gaza.

paragraph: She is a graduate of the Fine Arts School of Gaza's Al Aqsa University. Her story, reported in an interview with the New York Times, has made her known internationally, cited by many other newspapers, magazines and television from all over the world (such as ZDF, France24 and Sky Arte). After the years of Palestine, she moved to the Republic of San Marino, where she also worked as a university professor at the "University of Design" "of the Republic of San Marino". Now, the artist lives in Italy.

paragraph: Her exhibitions have toured and are touring the world: after the first in Jerusalem, numerous exhibitions in Italy, San Marino, Denmark, Germany, US, Spain, United Arab Emirates. In 2016, she was selected for "The 2016 Sovereign Middle East & North Africa Art Prize Finalists", a prize for the "30 best artists in the Arab world". In 2017, she was a speaker at the UNESCO conference held in Carthage (Tunisia). Also in 2017, the municipality of "Monte Grimano Terme", Italy, granted Nidaa with a space for herself right in the historical center of this little town, which is inserted in the club ""Most Beautiful Villages in Italy"".

paragraph: Henryk Moruś

paragraph: Henryk Moruś (born 1943 in Sulejów - died August 18, 2013 in Czarne) was a Polish serial killer who was convicted in 1993 for committing seven murders in the territory of Piotrków Voivodeship. He was the last prisoner to be sentenced to death in Poland in accordance with the European Convention of Human Rights.

paragraph: Section::::Investigation.

paragraph: Henryk Moruś was arrested in 1992. Initially he confessed to all seven murders that were attributed to him, citing that material problems with his family was his motive. However, he declared he was innocent at the pre-trial investigation.

paragraph: The prosecutor accused him of shooting seven people for robbery with his carbine. The first murder was to carried out in 1986, and the next in the first half of 1992. Henryk Moruś' victims were:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Teresa Grabowska (in 1986)

paragraph: BULLET::::- A 60-year old saleswoman from Piotrków Trybunalski, murdered in her own store

paragraph: BULLET::::- Zdzisława and Mieczysław Beśkowie (married couple from Sulejów), killed in their own home's bedroom, with the woman being pregnant in the third month

paragraph: BULLET::::- Józef Jęcek, a pensioner from Ciechomin

paragraph: BULLET::::- Jarosław Kszczot, a cement trader from Czarnocin

paragraph: BULLET::::- Andrzej Kłosiński, owner of an office in Koluszki.

paragraph: During the long-lasting court proceedings, the accused did not speak, did not show remorse and made offensive gestures, which suggested a lack of senses (which, however, did not confirm anything). Expert psychiatrists recognized him as sane and completely accountable for his actions - they did not see him as having the capacity for higher feelings though. According to his family, he was a good husband and caring father of three children. In 1993, the Provincial Court of Piotrków Trybunalski sentenced Henryk Moruś for four murders to the death penalty with indefinite deprivation of public rights, and for three other murders and three offenses (theft, illegal alcohol and illegal possession of a firearm without a permit) to 25 years imprisonment.

paragraph: Section::::Appeals.

paragraph: On December 3, 1993, in the proceedings before the second instance at the Łódź Court of Appeal, the sentence was lifted, returning the case for re-examination, stating that the ruling of the Piotrków court was affected by significant deficiencies. The court came to the decision that only Andrzej Kłosiński's murder could be proven at first, which was helped by admission of Moruś, who initially denied any involvement before the court. It has also not been determined whether one or more people participated in the murder, as three witnesses gave different stories. The court re-imposed the same penalty in 1995.

paragraph: Two separate appeals lodged by the defenders accused the court of many contradictions contained in the court's assessment and questioned the death penalty in the current moratorium on its execution. The court of appeal, which considered defense applications, supplemented (as a rarity) evidence of new expert opinions. Ultimately, however, the lower sentence was upheld. The accused's last words were that he had not killed anyone, and that the sentence was given coldly.

paragraph: In the justification, the court stressed the causal relationship between the evidence and the assessment of the first sentence. The court also issued a verdict that the death penalty does not contradict Art. 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, because (according to the law), it allows for it under Polish law, and the moratorium only concerns the periodic execution of the death penalty. Defending attorney Wiktor Celler announced that he would appeal for cassation. Finally, after the abolition of the death penalty in Poland with the enforcing of the Penal Code in 1998, it was turned into a life sentence for Henryk Moruś.

paragraph: Section::::Punishment and application for pardon.

paragraph: He was detained in a prison for recidivists in a seven-person cell in the Wołów Prison. His behaviour in penitentiary services was so good that he used the right to work, sewing leather balls in the sewing room. In 2008, he applied for a pardon to president Lech Kaczyński. He emphasized that the punishment changed his life a lot, he regrets what he did, he became a Jehovah's witness in prison and would like to spend the rest of his life there. The Łódź Court of Appeal issued a negative opinion on the pardon application, just the like the District Court in Piotrków - it was decided to leave the request without further progress. In November 2009, Moruś was moved due to health complications from Wołów to Wrocław.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Moruś died on August 18, 2013 in the prison hospital of Czarne. He was 70 years old. The most probable cause of death was atherosclerosis, ischemic cardiomyopathy or heart failure. The family did not pick up his corpse, so his burial was organised by the prison. Henryk Moruś was buried in the municipal cemetery at Sienkiewicz Street in Człuchów.

paragraph: Beatrice Catanzaro

paragraph: Beatrice Catanzaro (born 1975) is an Italian-Swedish artist known for her long term socially engaged art practice and exploring issues such as migration and cultural exchange. She has also worked as a professor.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Catanzaro was born in San Donato, Milanese in 1975. Catanzaro has Ph.D. from Oxford Brookes University.

paragraph: Between 2010 and 2015, Catanzaro lived between Jerusalem and Nablus, where she initiated Bait al Karama, a social enterprise and women community center in the Old City of Nablus. She also taught at the Art Academy of Palestine in Ramallah.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: "The Water Was Boiling at 34° 21' 29“ South, 18° 28' 19” East" (2008), was an installation curated by Achille Bonito Oliva at the MART Museum of Rovereto. Singling her out from the 47 artists in the exhibition, "Artforum" described it as "worth commendation."

paragraph: "A Needle in the Binding" (2011), Installation commissioned and curated by the Jerusalem Show, and the Al Ma’mal Foundation (Jerusalem). In 2008, Catanzaro discovered and became fascinated with the Prisoner's Section of the Nablus Library. The work represents the end product of research into the way that a library affected the lives of political prisoners between 1972 and 1995. "A Needle in the Binding" was also shown at the Ethnographic and Art Museum at Birzeit University.

paragraph: "Bait al Karama" (2010-ongoing) is a social project that created a community center run by women in Nablus. The project generates income, along with social and educational programs. Palestinian women are beholder of gestures and tastes of the local culinary cultural heritage – a heritage that is quickly disappearing under the economical pressure of the occupation. In 2015 the project was presented at the European Parlament in Brussels. Contazaro is a co-founder of Bait al Karama.

paragraph: "Fatima’s Chronicles" (2016) is a video installation shown at the Quadriennale, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, (Roma - Italy), and curated by Matteo Lucchetti. The Installation was inspired by the experience of Bait Al Karama, an association run by women for women in the Old City of Nablus, Palestine. The video depicts the hands of Fatima Kaddumy who is also a co-funder of Bait al Karama, mimicking the preparation of food as a gesture of hospitality. In contrast, two overhead projectors screen stories of asylum seekers and migrants encountered in Bolzano as part of another research, interwoven here with the reference to the Tessere Hospitalis, the documents used in ancient Rome to regulate access and ensure hospitality for foreigners.

paragraph: "You Are But You Are Not", (2016–17) An audio-guide on the theme of borders and hospitality for the city of Bolzano. The project is a collaboration between Catanzaro, a geographer, Kolar Aparna, and with lyrics by Elena Pugliese. The group was invited by Lungomare in 2016 and started with an "artistic research residence." The project is a trilingual audio-guide on the theme of borders and hospitality. The work aims to offer a reflective journey into "our" procedures of hospitality in Europe. It also relies on metaphors to describe difficult concepts.

paragraph: Richard Crosbie

paragraph: Richard Crosbie (1755–1824) was the first Irishman to make a manned flight. He flew in a hydrogen air balloon from Ranelagh, on Dublin's southside to Clontarf, on Dublin's northside on 19 January 1785 and was 30 years old.

paragraph: Crosbie, who was six feet three inches, was from Crosbie Park, near Baltinglass, County Wicklow. He studied at Trinity College, Dublin. His brother, Sir Edward Crosbie, was executed for treason.

paragraph: Crosbie launched several balloons containing animals before attempting the first human flight on Irish soil. One of which, containing a cat, was seen passing over the west coast of Scotland, before descending near the Isle of Man. The cat and the balloon were both rescued by a passing ship. The balloonists of the eighteenth century, pioneers in the first successful method of conquest of the air, were men of science comparable to the astronauts of the 1960s, attracting the same public excitement and receiving similar international publicity.

paragraph: His achievement occurred just 14 months after the first-ever manned balloon flight by the Montgolfier Brothers in France and is commemorated by a memorial located at the site of this historic event & commissioned by Dublin City Council.

paragraph: Section::::A memorial to commemorate Richard Crosbie, "The first Irishman to fly".

paragraph: The Artist

paragraph: The statue, which was designed by leading Irish artist Rory Breslin, depicts Richard Crosbie's youthful curiosity and many of the items displayed on the bronze reflect an airborne theme. The sculpture, which is adorned with various images, gives a sense of the showmanship, extravagance and ornamentation that was evident on the actual day in January 1785. It is designed to be a fitting commemoration to Richard Crosbie and his redoubtable curiosity and determination while also being a timeless piece of art in its own right.

paragraph: Background

paragraph: On 19 January 1785 at 2.30 pm, Crosbie launched, from an exhibition area at Ranelagh Gardens his Grand Air Balloon and Flying Barge in which he intended to cross the Irish Sea.

paragraph: Crosbie intended to cross the Irish Sea, but as darkness fell early in the winter evenings, he decided to land at Clontarf. He attempted a channel crossing on 19 July 1785, (defying a ban on balloon flights by the Lord Mayor of Dublin because the population of the city was spending long periods gaping at the sky instead of working), but came down half way across due to a severe storm, and was rescued by the Dun Laoghaire barge Captain Walmitt, which was following his progress.

paragraph: Unveiling

paragraph: On Sunday, 28 September at 1 pm in Ranelagh Gardens, in conjunction with the Ranelagh Arts Festival, Councillor Mary Freehill (deputising on behalf of the Lord Mayor) unveiled a sculpture to commemorate Richard Crosbie, "the first Irishman to fly". The statue was unveiled by Councillor Mary Freehill assisted by Mr. Frank McNally of the Irish Times and Mrs Rose Doherty (mother of world snooker star, Ken Doherty). Speaking before the launch, Cllr Freehill spoke of her delight at being asked to unveil the statue " It is truly fitting that we should honour Richard Crosbie with a statue here in Ranelagh Gardens, where Ireland's first manned balloon flight took off. I hope that residents and visitors will take time out to come and view the statue”

paragraph: Dublin City Council and the Department of the Environment, Heritage & Local Government's Per Cent for Art Scheme, funded the statue.

paragraph: Ghiyas ud din Balban

paragraph: Ghiyas ud din Balban (reigned: 1266–1287) (); (Hindi: ग़ियास उद-दीन बलबन "Ghiyās ud-Dīn Balban") was the ninth sultan of the Mamluk dynasty of Delhi.

paragraph: Ghiyas ud Din was the "wazir" of the last Shamsi sultan, Nasir ud-Din. He reduced the power of the treacherous nobility and heightened the stature of the sultan. Despite having only few military achievements, he was the most powerful ruler of the sultanate between Shamsuddin Iltutmish and Alauddin Khalji.

paragraph: His original name was Baha Ud Din. He was an Ilbari Turk. When he was young he was captured by the Mongols, taken to Ghazni and sold to Khawaja Jamal ud-din of Basra, a Sufi. The latter then brought him to Delhi in 1232 AD along with other slaves, and all of them were purchased by Iltutmish.

paragraph: Balban belonged to the famous band of 40 group of Turkic slaves of Iltutmish.

paragraph: Ghiyas made several conquests, some of them as vizier. He routed the Mewats that harassed Delhi and reconquered Bengal, all while successfully facing the Mongol threat, a struggle that cost his son and heir's life. So it came to pass that upon his death in 1287, his grandson Qaiqubad was nominated sultan, undermining the achievements of his grandfather.

paragraph: In spite of having only a few military achievements, Ghiyas ud-din made civil and military reforms that earned him the position of the strongest ruler between Shams ud-din Iltutmish and the later Alauddin Khalji, whose military achievements rest on the order established within the sultanate by Ghiyas ud din Balban.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was the son of a Central Asian Turkic noble. As a child, he and others from his tribe were captured by the Mongols and sold as slaves in Ghazni. He was sold to Khwaja Jamal ud-din of Basra, a Sufi who nicknamed him Baha ud din. The Khwaja brought him to Delhi where he and the other slaves were bought by Sultan Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, himself a captured Ilbari Turk in origin, in 1232 CE.

paragraph: Balban was first appointed as a simple water carrier, but quickly rose to the position of Khasdar (king's personal attendant) by the Sultan. He became one of the most notable of the forty Turkic nobles of Delhi, or the Chalissa. During the reign of Razia Sultan, he was the "amir-i-shikar" or lord of the hunt, a position of some importance at the time, having military and political responsibilities. After her overthrow, he made rapid strides in the subsequent reigns, earning the fief of Rewari under Bahram Shah, and later became the Jagir (lord) of Hansi, which was an important fief.

paragraph: Balban was instrumental in the overthrow of Masud Shah, installing Nasiruddin Mahmud as Sultan and himself as his Vizier from 1246 to 1265. Mahmud married one of Balban's daughters. Balban also installed Kishlu Khan, his younger brother, as lord chamberlain (Amir-i Hajib) and appointed his cousin, Sher Khan, to the Jagir of Lahore and Bhatinda.

paragraph: Balban's position did not go unnoticed by the other nobles and there was some resentment. His main antagonist was Imad ud-din Raihan, who in works written after Balban's time, is characterized as a Hindu Murtad (who revoked Islam), although some claim him to be of Turkic origin as well. Imad ud-din managed to persuade the Sultan that Balban was an usurper. Balban and his kin were dismissed and even challenged in combat. However, negotiations between Balban and the Sultan had brought to the dismission of Imad ud din at 1254, and Balban was reinstalled.

paragraph: Section::::Military campaigns.

paragraph: Balban's reign, according to Ziauddin Barani, was to install "Fear of the governing power, which is the basis of all good government." Furthermore, he "maintained that the Sultan was the 'shadow of God' and introduced rigorous court discipline." He depended upon Turkish nobility but formed an army of 2 lakh made up of all castes. A portion of this army was made up of commandos. Balban had several military achievements during his vizierhood, first raising the Mongol siege of Uch under Masud Shah in 1246.

paragraph: When the governor of Bengal, Tughral Tughan Khan, revoked the authority of Delhi in 1275, Balban first sent the governor of Awadh and then a second army, both of which met with failure. Balban then accompanied a third army which reconquered the country, killing Tughral and his followers. His son, Nasiruddin Bughra Khan, assisted him in this mission. Balban then placed his second son, Bughra Khan, as governor. However, Bughra declared independence after Balban's death, which he maintained for 40 years.

paragraph: One of the famous military campaigns of Balban was against Meo, or Mayo, the people of Mewat who used to plunder the people of Delhi even in the daylight. The distress caused by the Meo is well described in Barani's words:He has killed many Mayos in his military campaign.

paragraph: Balban took upon himself the exterminating the turbulent tribes of Mewat and Awadh, destroying strongholds and villages. He then built military outposts, gave land to soldiers and Afghans to settle. He garrisoned forts at key locations, cleared forests and ensured safe roads. He also unsuccessfully laid siege to the fortress of Ranthambore, but did recapture Gwalior from the Rajputs.

paragraph: In 1247, Balban suppressed a rising of the Chandela Chief of Kalinjar.

paragraph: Balban's military reign also distinguished with his success repelling Mongol army. This could be achieved because his cavalry horses were better suited to Indian climate and naturally bred larger than Mongol's horses. The extreme heat of summer constituted the Mongols’ problem in India, as the quotation from Juvaini indicates. Their incursions seem to have been brief, even when not defeated by the forces of Delhi, and to have taken place in winter, because only then was it cool enough for the comfort of the Mongols' horses

paragraph: Section::::Reign as Sultan.

paragraph: Since Sultan Nasiruddin did not have a male heir, so after his death, Balban declared himself the Sultan of Delhi. Balban ascended the throne in 1266 at the age of sixty with the title of "Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din-Balban".

paragraph: During his reign, Balban ruled with an iron fist. He broke up the 'Chahalgani', a group of the forty most important nobles in the court. Balban wanted to make sure everyone was loyal to the crown by establishing an efficient espionage system, in the style of the Umayyad Barid. Sultan Balban had a strong and well-organized spy system. Balban placed secret reporters and news-writers in every department. The spies were independent authority who were only answerable to Sultan.

paragraph: Furthermore, Balban had his nobles punished most harshly for any mishap, including severe treatment of their own slaves. One of his nobles, Malik Baqbaq, the governor of Budaun, was punished for ordering one of his slaves to be beaten to death, apparently when being drunk. Another governor, Haibat Khan, was handed over to the slave's widow for punishment. Balban employed spies, "barids", to inform on his officials. About his justice Dr. Ishwari Prasad remarked "So great was the dread of Sultan's inexorable justice that no one dared to ill-treat his servant and slaves."

paragraph: Balban re-organised the military against the threat of the Mongols. He re-organised the revenues of the Iqatadars, which have been passed on to the children of their original holders from the time of Shams ud-din, or maintained their hold of the Iqta even after they ceased to serve in the military. The old Muqta's, who could not serve as military commanders (emirs) for their revenue, were to be dismissed from their fief and settled with a pension of forty to fifty tankas. The younger Muqtas had been taxed for the surplus revenue (which was not taken from them as it should have) and the children and women who took possession of the Iqta of their forebears, were to be deprived of their Iqtas and compensated with the money required to sustain them. However, he was partially dissuaded from this ruling due to the advice of the old Kotwal, Fakhr ud-din, and the old nobles retained their lands.

paragraph: Balban's steps against the nobility were so extreme as to raise suspicion from his brother, Sher Khan, who is said to have never visited Delhi. It appears that resentment between the brothers had to come to a degree that made the Sultan poison his brother

paragraph: "Balban's court was an austere assembly where zest and laughter were unknown and where wine and gambling were banished." He "introduced rigorous court discipline such as prostration before the king and kissing his feet." Nevertheless, Ghiyasuddin Balban still went on hunting expeditions, though these were more frequently used as a form of military training. There were large scale conversions to Islam in Punjab under his reign. Balban was the first who introduced the famous Persian Festival of Nauroz.

paragraph: He started Iranian method Sijda and Paibos to the sultan in India. He also introduced the Persian festival Navroz (meaning New year). He himself called the Niyabat-i-Khudai.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Balban ruled as the Sultan from 1265 until his death in 1287. Balban's heir was his older son, Prince Muhammad Khan, but he perished in a battle against the Mongols on 9 March 1285. His other son, Bughra Khan, was reluctant to assume the throne, and sought to remain the ruler of Bengal instead. Balban, therefore, chose his grandson, kai khusru son of mahammad, as heir apparent. However, after his death his nobles nominated Qaiqubad as Sultan.

paragraph: Qaiqubad reign (1287–1290), while his father, Bughra Khan, asserted independence in Bengal. Qaiqubad was very weak and incompetent and eventually fell to stroke and had to pass the rule to his three years old son, Shamsuddin Kayumars, who was eventually dethroned by his guardian, Jalal ud din Firuz Khalji in 1290, bringing an end to the Slave dynasty.

paragraph: Today, Tomb of Balban wherein a true arch and a true dome were built of the first time in India, lies within the Mehrauli Archaeological Park in Delhi, adjacent to which stands that of his son Khan Shahid and wall mosque. The domes of both the tombs have collapsed and the structures are ruined structures were restored in the recent years when the conservation work began in the park.

paragraph: Juan Ponce de León II

paragraph: Juan Ponce de León II (1524 - 1591) was the first acting governor of Puerto Rico to be born on the island.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Ponce de León II, (birth name: Juan Troche Ponce de León), was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Viceroyalty of New Spain, to Juan Garcia "Gracia" Troche and Juana Ponce de León. The Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León was Ponce de León II's maternal grandfather.

paragraph: Section::::Settlement in Trinidad.

paragraph: Ponce de León II was sent by the Spanish Crown to establish a settlement on the island of Trinidad in 1569. He founded the "town of the Circumcision", probably around modern Laventille. In 1570, this settlement was abandoned, possibly because of the raids by the Caribs which resulted in the death of de Leon's son. According to some historians, Ponce de León II may have been an on and off governor of the island from 1571 to 1591.

paragraph: Section::::The first Puerto Rican acting governor of Puerto Rico.

paragraph: In 1579, the Spanish Crown named Jerónimo De Agüero Campuzano governor of Puerto Rico. He was to replace the then governor Francisco De Obando Y Mexia. During the time that it took Jerónimo De Agüero Campuzano to travel from Spain to Puerto Rico, Ponce de León II was appointed acting governor. He thus became the first native-born Puerto Rican to be appointed Spanish governor of Puerto Rico.

paragraph: Section::::Written work "Melgarejo's Memoirs".

paragraph: In 1581, at the request of King Phillip II of Spain, Juan Lopez Melgarejo, who served as governor of Puerto Rico from 1581 to 1582, asked Juan Ponce de León II to write a general description of the West Indies with emphasis on the part corresponding to Puerto Rico. He did this with the collaboration of his fellow Puerto Rican Antonio de Santa Clara. Ponce de León II's written work "Memorias de Melgarejo" (Melgarejo's Memoirs) is one of Puerto Rico's most important historical documents. In 1581, Ponce de León II was able to establish the exact geographical coordinates of San Juan by observing an eclipse.

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: Later in life, after he became a widower, Ponce de León II embraced and lived a religious life. He took it upon himself to transfer the body of his grandfather, Juan Ponce de León, to San José Church in San Juan from Cuba, where he had died and been buried in 1521 after being wounded in an attempt to colonize Florida. His grandfather's remains were moved once again in 1913, when they were transferred to the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, which is also located in Old San Juan.

paragraph: Juan Ponce de León II's remains are still interred at San José Church in San Juan. Puerto Rico has honored his memory by naming a high school in the town of Florida, Puerto Rico after him.

paragraph: Ulrich of Eppenstein

paragraph: Ulrich of Eppenstein (?ca.1047–1121) served between 1071 and his death as Abbot of the powerful Abbey of Saint Gall. Ulrich was prominent as a supporter of Emperor Henry IV during the civil wars that erupted out of the power struggles between the emperor and the papacy during the closing decades of the eleventh century.

paragraph: Section::::Name.

paragraph: Sources that focus on his role as Abbot of St. Gallen sometimes refer to him as Ulrich III of St Gallen. In 1086 he was also appointed Patriarch of Aquileia, in respect of which sources may refer to him as Ulrich I of Aquileia.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Family provenance.

paragraph: Ulrich was born into the , a in Carantania. His father, , was a supporter of the emperor in his conflicts with Rome. His mother, Liutbirg of Plain, was a daughter of . Of his known siblings the eldest, Liutold of Eppenstein, would succeed to their father's dukedom and lands in 1177. The second brother, , succeeded when Luitold died in 1190. The third brother, called Markwart, probably died young. Ulrich entered the church: he was the fourth son. All the brothers who lived long enough to feature in the sources participated actively in the Investiture Controversy in support of the emperor. Because of the way local rivalries became intertwined with continental politics, this meant sustained conflict closer to home with dynastic families supporting the papacy, notably the von Zähringens and the von Rheinfeldens.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Office.

paragraph: The and the Emperor Henry IV shared their descent from Herman II of Swabia, who was probably Ulrich's great grandfather, and the emperor saw in young Ulrich a loyal supporter. In 1877 Ulrich was appointed Abbot of Saint Gall / Saint Gallen in succession to the abbot Ulrich II who had died on am 9 December 1076. The appointment was contested by the "anti-abbot" Lutold between 1177 and 1183. Lutold's appointment was conferred by the "anti-king", Rudolf of Rheinfelden. One objection cited for Ulrich's appointment was that he was young - aged "only about 30". Lutold came from the nearby , but sources indicated that the monks at St. Gallen nevertheless favoured the newcomer to monasticism, Ulrich, in the war that unfolded him because they, like Ulrich, backed the emperor against the pope. Two years later Ulrich himself was given the additional appointment of "anti-abbot" of , but the Monastery at Reichenau supported in the papal cause and Ulich's base remained at St. Gallen. In 1083 St Gallen itself was attacked by an army led by Folknand von Toggenburg, but Ulrich managed to drive off the attackers. Another assault in 1086 seems to have been less serious. Nevertheless, by 1086 the abbey had been impoverished, and many of the church ornaments had been sold.

paragraph: The "anti-abbot" Lurtold was replaced in 1083 by a new "anti-abbot", another Reichenau monk called Werinhar, and one source indicates that Werinhar successfully supplanted Ulrich for a time. Meanwhile, on the international stage the "anti-king", Rudolf of Rheinfelden had died following a battle in 1080, his place as "anti-king" being taken by Hermann of Salm. Hermann was less effective as a leader for the papal side than Rudolf had been. Support for the rebellion against the emperor was fading: in St. Gallen the "anti-abbot", Werinhar, formally abdicated his claim in 1086, possibly persuaded to do so by the resistance he met from St. Gallen's monks, and calm slowly returned. As a reward for his energetic loyalty, in 1086 the emperor conferred on Ulrich the Patriarchate of Aquileia, a wealthy region where his elder brother, already exercised secular overlordship in support of the emperor. It is believed that in it was Ulrich of Eppenstein who in 1119 established at Moggio a Benedictine monastery, dedicated to Saint Gall. Moggio was along the route between St. Gallen and Aquileia and the new foundation was presumably intended to strengthen communication links between the region of Ulrich's patriarchate and his Abbey of Saint Gall.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Death.

paragraph: Ulrich von Eppenstein probably died on 13 December 1121 at Aquileia. However, residual uncertainty as to his date of death remains because of other surviving entries in the records at St. Gallen which support the dates 2 April and 7 October as anniversaries of his death.

paragraph: Francesco Bagnara

paragraph: Francesco Bagnara (1784, Vicenza - 21 October 1866, Venice) was an Italian scenographer, decorator and landscape architect.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Francesco Bagnara came from a poor family and began work as a decorative room painter. Thanks to the interest of a local noble family (the Angarans), he was able to go to Venice, where he studied with Giuseppe Borsato and helped him paint decorations for the Teatro La Fenice. Around 1812, with the financial assistance of the Papadopoli family, he was able to open his own studios. His first clients were the Teatro San Moisè and the Teatro San Benedetto, and later became the official designer at La Fenice. During this period, he designed sets for several now-famous operas by Gioachino Rossini.

paragraph: He also supplied decorations for provincial theaters. Because they generally could not afford full new sets for each production, he created a series of scenarios (about a dozen) that could be easily readapted for the occasion. None of these survive, but albums of watercolor sketches have been preserved at the Museo Correr.

paragraph: In addition to his theater work, he decorated churches and palaces and designed gardens featuring mounds, lakes, bridges and faux ruins; after the style of Giuseppe Jappelli. His most notable work was at the Giardini Papadopoli, although much of it was later destroyed to create an extension for the bus terminal at the Piazzale Roma. From 1838 to 1854, he was a Professor of landscaping at the Accademia di Belle Arti.

paragraph: Beginning in a Neo-Classical style, he gradually adopted Romanticism. He was known for his lack of concern for historical veracity, once having set "La Sonnambula" in what looked like a Roman forum (instead of an Italian village), for example. Occasionally, he used machines to create theatrical effects; notably at a festival celebrating the coronation of Ferdinand I of Austria in 1835. According to his official obituary, he created over 1,100 scenarios.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Simona Castricum was born in about 1975 and grew up in the Mornington Peninsula area to attend local primary and secondary schools. She later recalled, "there was such a reverence for masculinity and toxic masculinity", and cited her music role models as Sylvester, Boy George, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox and Laurie Anderson. Castricum started her music career as a DJ in the late 1990s playing in queer clubs.

paragraph: Section::::Architecture.

paragraph: As a PhD candidate in architecture at the University of Melbourne, Castricum's creative and intellectual research practise explores how gender nonconforming, transgender and queer experiences and identity exist in architectural space and professional design practises. She has presented her work 'When Program is The Enemy of Function…' at the 13th International AHRA Conference 'Architecture & Feminisms' at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden and at 'Queering Architecture' for 2017's Melbourne Design Week at the National Gallery of Victoria International.

paragraph: In 2002, under the name Fluorescent, Castricum began recording her debut album, "Post Nuclear", which was released in October 2005 via the Refectory5 label. She performed, produced and wrote (or co-wrote) its eight tracks and was joined in the studio by Fiona di Lanzo on bass guitar and Naomi. Also in 2005 Castricum and di Lanzo created a poster depicting a design for a $1000 note, with an image of Kylie Minogue on one side and Nick Cave on the other. In the following year Fluorescent issued a remix album, "Cattle Brand", with Simona joined by Askew, Naomi, Greg Dickinson, Peter Finger and Harris Robtois.

paragraph: Castricum has stated her biographical song writing is influenced by her life and identity as a gender nonconforming transgender woman, both openly and closeted. Musically, her sound was described in July 2016 by Clem Wetherall of "Amateur Hour" as, "reverb drenched vocals and industrial strength percussion."

paragraph: Castricum identified her influences as interactions between electronic and shoe gaze styles and cites the artists, Depeche Mode, New Order, My Bloody Valentine, Curve (band) and both Detroit techno and Belgian New Beat genres.

paragraph: Live, Harry Hughes of The Music, says she, "commands... attention with her pseudo-militaristic movements and bold style". Sara Savage of i-D has written Castricum presents "a kind of cathartic club music that's reflective of her live show—which often induces audiences into a pulsating dancefloor".

paragraph: Simona Castricum has previously recorded as Simona Kapitolina and Fluorescent and was a member of bands Ana Nicole and Trans Pixies. She was the founder of the Melbourne queer record label, Girls Who Smoke Poke, which ran a club night, The Shock of the New.

paragraph: Hywel's father Owain and uncle Cadwaladr came to blows in 1143 when Cadwaladr was implicated in the murder of Prince Anarawd ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth, Owain's ally and future son-in-law, on the eve of Anarawd's wedding to Owain's daughter. Owain followed a diplomatic policy of binding other Welsh rulers to Gwynedd through dynastic marriages, and Cadwaladr's border dispute and murder of Anarawd threatened Owain's efforts and credibility.

paragraph: As ruler of Gwynedd, Owain stripped Cadwaladr of his lands, and dispatched Hywel to Ceredigion where he burned Cadwaladr's castle at Aberystwyth. Cadwaladr fled to Ireland and hired a Norse fleet from Dublin, bringing the fleet to Abermenai to compel Owain to reinstate him. Taking advantage of the brotherly strife, and perhaps with the tacit understanding of Cadwaladr, the marcher lords mounted incursions into Wales. Realizing the wider ramifications of the war before him, Owain came to terms and reconciled, with Cadwaladr restored to his lands. Peace between the brothers held until 1147, when an unrecorded event occurred which led Owain's sons Hywel and Cynan to drive Cadwaladr out of Meirionydd and Ceredigion, with Cadwaladr retreating to Môn. Again an accord was reached, with Cadwaladr retaining Aberffraw until a more serious breach occurred in 1153, when he was forced into exile in England, where his wife was the sister of Gilbert de Clare, 2nd Earl of Hertford, and the niece of Ranulph de Gernon, 2nd Earl of Chester.

paragraph: In 1146, news reached Prince Owain ap Gruffydd of Gwynedd that his favoured eldest son and heir, the "edling", Rhun, died. Owain was overcome with grief, falling into a deep melancholy from which none could console him, until news reached him that Mold castle in Tegeingl (Flintshire) had fallen to Gwynedd, "[reminding Owain] that he had still a country for which to live," wrote historian Sir John Edward Lloyd.

paragraph: As the eldest surviving son and "Edling", Hywel succeeded his father in 1170 as Prince of Gwynedd in accordance with Welsh law and custom. However, the new prince was immediately confronted by a coup instigated by his step-mother Cristin, Dowager Princess of Gwynedd. The dowager princess plotted to have her eldest son Dafydd usurp the Throne of Gwynedd from Hywel, and with Gwynedd divided between Dafydd and her other sons Rhodri and Cynan. The speed with which Cristen and her sons acted suggest that the conspiracy may have had roots before Owain's death. Additionally, the complete surprise of the elder sons of Owain suggests that the scheme had been a well kept secret.

paragraph: Within months of his succession, Hywel was forced to flee to Ireland, returning later that year with a Hiberno-Norse army and landing on Môn, where he may have had Maelgwn's support. Dafydd himself landed his army on the island and caught Hywel off guard at Pentraeth, defeating his army and killing Hywel. Following Hywel's death and the defeat of the legitimist army, the surviving sons of Owain came to terms with Dafydd. Iorwerth was apportioned the commotes of Arfon and Arllechwedd, with his seat at Dolwyddelan, with Maelgwn retaining Ynys Môn, and with Cynan receiving Meirionydd. However, by 1174, Iorwerth and Cynan were both dead and Maelgwn and Rhodri were imprisoned by Dafydd, who was now master over the whole of Gwynedd.

paragraph: The seven sons of Hywel's foster-father, Cadifor, were killed while defending him in this battle, and were commemorated in verse:

paragraph: Hywel was an accomplished poet and eight of his poems have been preserved. The best known is probably "Gorhoffedd Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd" in which he praises his father's kingdom of Gwynedd, both its natural beauties and its beautiful women. Other poems include the earliest known love poetry in the Welsh language, and may show a French influence. Hywel is known to have sired the following sons;
