paragraph: Enrique Márquez Jaramillo

paragraph: Enrique Márquez Jaramillo (San Luis Potosí, March 4, 1950), known in Mexico and abroad as Enrique Márquez, is a poet, historian and Mexican politician. In early 1994 Márquez participated in the Commission for Peace and Reconciliation in the southeastern Mexican state of Chiapas, with a focus on the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN) uprising. From 2007 to 2010, he organized the bicentennial independence anniversary and Mexican Revolution centennial celebrations in Mexico City. At the end of 2012, Márquez convened the World Summit of Outraged Dissidents and Insurgents in the city.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Márquez was born on March 4, 1950 in the north-central state of San Luis Potosí on the Mexican Plateau, and was educated at the #10 Damián Carmona boarding school. He studied law from 1969 to 1974 at the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí. To finance his studies, Márquez was a factory worker in Chicago.

paragraph: Section::::Literary career.

paragraph: In San Luis Potosí, Márquez was a member of the Literary Society Manuel José Othón (1967) and published his first poems in its periodicals. In the Literary Workshop of the House of Culture, he collaborated with Ecuadorian writer Miguel Donoso Pareja in 1973 with poets and storytellers such as Juan Villoro, David Ojeda, José Ignacio Betancourt, José de Jesús Sampedro, Roberto Bolaño and Mario Santiago Papasquiaro.

paragraph: During the first half of the 1970s, Márquez promoted Mexican poetry and world literature in México. In 1973 he taught a course at the University of Panamá on contemporary Mexican poets, participating in several readings with Mexican writers from that country. This resulted in "The Gorillas Nap", an anthology by young Panamanian poets published by "Potosin Words" magazine.

paragraph: In 1971, interested in a new generation of Spanish poets including Vicente Molina Foix, Leopoldo María Panero, Ana María Moix and Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, Márquez prepared an anthology of poems by Vázquez Montalbán for "Potosin Words". More than two decades later, reviewing his book "Marcos: the Lord of Mirrors" (an interview with the leader of EZLN, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation) in Barcelona, Márquez and Vázquez Montalbán conversed about the Chiapas conflict and the Catalan writer was surprised that his poetry attracted interest in a Mexican province so long ago.

paragraph: During the 1970s Márquez collaborated with the magazine "Change", directed by Julio Cortázar, Miguel Donoso Pareja, Pedro Orgambide, Juan Rulfo and José Revueltas, and Carlos Monsiváis' supplement "The Culture in Mexico". In 1975, shortly after moving to Mexico City, he received a National Award for Young Poetry from the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura. In 1976–77 Márquez received a scholarship from the Instituto which enabled him to write his second book of poetry (published in 1979), "Liturgy of the Rooster in Three Feet". When Monsiváis republished his anthology, "Mexican Poetry of the Twentieth Century" (Mexico, Editorial Enterprises, 1966), in 1979 he included Márquez in the new edition with Alberto Blanco, Ricardo Castillo, Kyra Galván, David Huerta and Jaime Reyes.

paragraph: Section::::Academic career.

paragraph: Márquez attended El Colegio de México from 1975 to 1977 receiving a master's degree in political science from its Center for International Studies. He received a doctorate in history from the University of Perpignan in France. Márquez conducted a wide-ranging study of the political and social history of 19th- and 20th-century San Luis Potosí, analyzing the power wielded by Gonzalo N. Santos and his family in the Huasteca region from 1806 to 1978. The first result of his research was his master’s thesis, "House of the Holy Lords: Caciques in the Potosin Huasteca 1876-1910", whose hypothesis of the origins of the Mexican Revolution influenced Mexican historians Romana Falcón, Jean Meyer, Alan Knight, Wil Pansers, Claudio Lomnitz, Guy P.C. Thomson, Antonio Escobar and Carlos Monsiváis. During the 1980s Márquez studied Mexican social liberal Ponciano Arriaga, publishing a five-volume "Complete Works of Ponciano Arriaga" with María Isabel Abella.

paragraph: Márquez has contributed to the Institute of Humanistic Research of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí (1984) and the College of San Luis (1997). He has been a professor and researcher in the Department of Sociology at the Metropolitan Autonomous University-Azcapotzalco, the Institute of Social Research of the Mexican Autonomous University, the Center of International Studies of the College of Mexico and the Department of Social Sciences of the Universidad Iberoamericana.

paragraph: Section::::Political career.

paragraph: During Márquez' late-1960s and early-1970s university years in his native state, he became politically active. He was a student representative to the university’s Directive Council, a presidential candidate for the student federation and a member of the law school's strike committee. At age 20, Márquez was chief of public services in the San Luis Potosí town hall and dealt with a two-month water shortage stemming from a 1974 drought.

paragraph: In Mexico City from 1981 to 1994 and politically unaffiliated, Márquez was an advisor to Manuel Camacho Solís, undersecretary for regional development, programming and budget and secretary for exterior liaisons of the Commission of Peace and Reconciliation in Chiapas. At that time he was asked to participate in political and social projects such as the reconstruction of Mexico City after its 1985 earthquake and drafting Mexico's first environmental law and the constitution of the National Commission of Human Rights. In late 1991, at the request of civic leader Salvador Nava Martínez, Márquez mediated post-election conflict in San Luis Potosí. On April 22, 1991 he went to Stockholm to participate in the International Socialist Summit presided by former German chancellor Willy Brandt, discussing the Stockholm Initiative about Global Security and Governance which would conclude in 1995.

paragraph: Influenced by Márquez' writing about the history of 19th-century Mexican social liberalism, Carlos Salinas de Gortari labeled his neoliberal project social liberalism. In his book, "The National Disagreement", Manuel Camacho Solís wrote: "Carlos Salinas would name his neoliberal project as Social Liberalism in a speech pronounced at the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party; March 4, 1992) based on writings by Enrique Márquez. Enrique, who was my adviser in Mexico City, knew and admired the thinking of the great liberal of the nineteenth century, Ponciano Arriaga, whose complete work he compiled and published in five volumes in that year. That was where the term used by Carlos Salinas came from, although its content had nothing to do with its original author, who fought until the end of his life in favor of justice and freedom".

paragraph: In November 1993, Márquez experienced the crisis of presidential succession which pitted Solís against Salinas de Gortari and his staff for the support of candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio. When the EZLN insurgency began, Solís led the peace commission which politicized the Chiapas conflict. From January to March 1995 Márquez was a political adviser in activities leading to a ceasefire and amnesty Law and, later, to the Dialogues of Peace in San Cristobal with the EZLN. In his book, "Why Camacho Lost: Revelations by the Advisor to Manuel Camacho Solís" (Mexico, Océano Publishing House, 1995), he described his experiences.

paragraph: In 1999, while teaching political sociology at the Universidad Iberoamericana, Márquez collaborated on the new "Milenio Daily". He published a daily column, "Journal of Decadence", criticizing democracy in Mexico.

paragraph: Section::::Bi100 Commission of Mexico City.

paragraph: In April 2007 Mexico City mayor Marcelo Ebrard appointed Márquez coordinator of the Commission for the Bicentennial of Independence and Centennial of the Revolution in Mexico City, a position he held until the end of 2010. Separate from the federal commission but created for the same purpose, the Commission of Mexico City (better known as Bi100 Commission) had a budget two percent that of the federal commission. In less than three years, the federal commission had five coordinators and questions were raised about transparency and resource allocation. Because of this, the Bi100 Commission created a local, national and international program.

paragraph: In the middle of 2007, when Márquez began his work, the federal commission began a debate with historians such as Javier García Diego, Enrique Krauze, Guillermo Tovar y de Teresa, Álvaro Matute and Alejandro Rosas and PRI politicians such as Jesús Murillo Karam, Francisco Labastida and Josefina VázquezMota.

paragraph: Márquez spent his years on the Bi100 Commission working to promote Mexico City in Latin America and worldwide. The multimedia exhibit "Mexico City, Solidarity City, Refuge City", describing how the capital of Mexico became a haven for refugees from European and South American fascism. The exhibition was taken to Madrid, Oxford, Cádiz, Rosario, Argentina and Montevideo. "The Expedition 1808: A Journey Across the Iberoamerican Bicentennial", a 13-episode TV series produced by Bi100, was broadcast in 22 Latin American countries by the National Geographic Channel in 2009. In 2010 and 2011 it was rebroadcast on the Spanish public RTVE network to nearly 150 countries on five continents, totaling almost 1,300 hours of airtime.

paragraph: Section::::Year of Mexico in France.

paragraph: At the end of the national celebration, Márquez was appointed by Ebrard to organize the activities in which Mexico City would participate in 2011, the year dedicated by the French government to Mexico. Weeks after a diplomatic row led to the event's cancellation, the city government channeled part of the already-allocated resources into a cultural program entitled "Mexico City and Cervantes". The celebration included literary, musical and film activities in Madrid, Paris, Bordeaux, Rome and Cologne.

paragraph: Section::::World Summit of Outraged, Dissidents and Insurgents.

paragraph: Márquez coordinated a December 7–10, 2012 World Summit of Outraged, Dissidents and Insurgents, inviting social-network activists from the Arab Spring in Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Syria and Egypt and representatives of the Outraged movement from Spain, the United States, Chile, Mexico and Greece. In attendance were Mexican writers Paco Ignacio Taibo II, Genaro Villamil and Fabrizio Mejía.

paragraph: Susan Waffa-Ogoo

paragraph: Susan Waffa-Ogoo (born 4 October 1960) is a Gambian politician who served as the country's Minister of Foreign Affairs from November 2012 to October 2013. A librarian before entering politics, she was first appointed to cabinet after the 1994 coup d'état and held a number of ministerial posts under President Yahya Jammeh. She also served as the Gambia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations from 2008 to 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Waffa-Ogoo was born in Serekunda, into an Aku family. She attended St. Joseph's High School, and then began working as a library assistant at Yundum College. Waffa-Ogoo later completed further study overseas, receiving a certificate in library and information studies from the University of Ghana and then completing a Bachelor of Arts in the same field from England's Loughborough University. While in England, she was employed in the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies. On her return to the Gambia, she became deputy librarian at Gambia College, as well as a part-time lecturer.

paragraph: Section::::Politics.

paragraph: Following the 1994 coup d'état, Waffa-Ogoo was appointed Minister of Information and Tourism in the new government formed by Yahya Jammeh. She was one of only two women in cabinet, along with Fatoumata Tambajang (the Minister of Health). She and Jammeh had known each other as children, with some sources describing her as his "adopted sister". Waffa-Ogoo's title was changed to Minister of Tourism and Culture in 1996, and following a ministerial reshuffle in August 2000 she was instead made Minister for Fisheries, Natural Resources, and the Environment. She returned to the tourism and culture portfolio in September 2004, but in February 2006 was sacked from the cabinet entirely and replaced by Angela Colley (a former student of hers). Waffa-Ogoo returned to the cabinet in October 2006, as Minister for Trade, Industry, and Employment, but was again dismissed in February 2007.

paragraph: In April 2008, Waffa-Ogoo was appointed as the Gambia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations. She had initially been appointed High Commissioner to India, but did not take up that appointment before being nominated to the other position. In November 2012, Waffa-Ogoo left her UN position in order to be re-appointed to cabinet as Minister of Foreign Affairs. She was the first woman to hold the position. However, she served for less than a year before being sacked, reputedly after Jammeh disapproved of her handling of a conflict with the U.S. Department of State.

paragraph: Anna Hyatt Huntington

paragraph: Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington (March 10, 1876 – October 4, 1973) was an American sculptor and was once among New York City's most prominent sculptors. At a time when very few women were successful artists, she had a thriving career. Hyatt Huntington exhibited often, traveled widely, received critical acclaim at home and abroad, and won awards and commissions.

paragraph: During the first two decades of the 20th century, Hyatt Huntington became famous for her animal sculptures, which combine vivid emotional depth with skillful realism. In 1915, she created the first public monument by a woman in New York City, outside of Central Park: Her "Joan of Arc", located on Riverside Drive at 93rd Street, is also the city’s first monument dedicated to a historical woman.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Huntington was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on March 10, 1876. Her father Alpheus Hyatt was a professor of paleontology and zoology at Harvard University and MIT. He encouraged her early interest in animals and animal anatomy. Anna Hyatt first studied with Henry Hudson Kitson in Boston, who threw her out after she identified equine anatomical deficiencies in his work (Rubenstein 1990). Later she studied with Hermon Atkins MacNeil and Gutzon Borglum at the Art Students League of New York. In addition to these formal studies, she spent many hours doing extensive study of animals in various zoos (including the Bronx Zoo) and circuses. She was one of 250 sculptors who exhibited in the 3rd Sculpture International held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the summer of 1949.

paragraph: In 1932, Huntington became one of the earliest woman artists to be elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Between the years of 1927 and 1937, Huntington contracted and survived tuberculosis.

paragraph: Huntington and her husband, Archer Milton Huntington, founded Brookgreen Gardens near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She was a member of the National Academy of Design and the National Sculpture Society (NSS). A donation of $100,000 from her and her husband underwrote the NSS Exhibition of 1929. Because of her husband's enormous wealth and the shared interests of the couple, the Huntingtons founded fourteen museums and four wildlife preserves. They also donated the land for the Collis P. Huntington State Park, consisting of approximately of land in Redding, Connecticut, to the State of Connecticut.

paragraph: Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington died October 4, 1973 in Redding, Connecticut. She is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, The Bronx, New York City. Her grave is next to that of her husband Archer Milton Huntington who died on December 11, 1955.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Metropolitan Museum of Art listed Huntington among the foremost woman sculptors in the United States to have undertaken large, publicly commissioned works, alongside Malvina Hoffman and Evelyn Longman.

paragraph: She was the aunt of the art historian A. Hyatt Mayor.

paragraph: Section::::Public equestrian monuments.

paragraph: Her animal sculptures, figures of both life-sized and in smaller proportions, are in museums and collections throughout the United States. Hyatt Huntington’s work is now displayed in many of New York’s leading institutions and outdoor spaces, including Columbia University, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Academy of Design, the New-York Historical Society, the Hispanic Society of America, the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, Central Park, Riverside Park and the Bronx Zoo. She spent two years collaborating with Abastenia St. Leger Eberle to produce "Man and Bull", which was exhibited at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904.

paragraph: The Hispanic Society of America was founded in 1904 by her husband, Archie Huntington. Anna was responsible for the art in its courtyard,

paragraph: including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- the towering 1927 bronze statue, "El Cid"—there are also editions in: Seville, Spain; Valencia, Spain; Lincoln Park, San Francisco; Balboa Park, San Diego ("El Cid Campeador"); and Buenos Aires, Argentina

paragraph: BULLET::::- the four bronze Castillian warriors around the El Cid statue,

paragraph: BULLET::::- the bronze flagpole bases,

paragraph: BULLET::::- the limestone bas-relief of Don Quixote, and

paragraph: BULLET::::- the limestone bas-relief of Boabdil, the last Moorish king of Spain.

paragraph: Two statues are located at the entrance to Collis P. Huntington State Park in Redding and Bethel, Connecticut: "Mother Bear and Cubs" and "Sculpture of Wolves". The park was donated to the state of Connecticut by the Huntingtons. Other equestrian statues by Huntington greet visitors to the entrance to Redding Elementary School, the John Read Middle School, and at the Mark Twain Library. The statue at the elementary school is called "Fighting Stallions" and the one at the middle school is called "A Tribute to the Workhorse". The sculpture at the Mark Twain Library, also called "The Torch Bearers", is identical in form to the one in Madrid, but is cast in bronze and appears to be smaller.

paragraph: In her "Horse Trainer" (Balboa Park, San Diego) she enlivens the theme of the Roman marble Horse Tamers of the Quirinale, Rome, which had been taken up by Guillaume Coustou for the horses of Marly.

paragraph: Huntington's "Joan of Arc" stands at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Ninety-third Street in Manhattan, with other versions in San Francisco, Blois, Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Québec City. The plaster model, which she made at the studio of Jules Dalou, earned her Honorable Mention at the 1910 Paris Salon. Cast in bronze by the Gorham Manufacturing Company to one-and-a-half-times life size, its Mohegan granite base was designed by John Vredenburgh Van Pelt; it contains fragments of the Rouen cell Joan was imprisoned in before her execution, and from Reims Cathedral. Jean Jules Jusserand spoke at its dedication on December 6, 1915. The $35,000 needed to erect the statue was donated by numismatist J. Sanford Saltus, namesake of the American Numismatic Society's Saltus Award.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Andrew Jackson, A Boy of The Waxhaws", Andrew Jackson State Park, Lancaster, South Carolina, depicts a young Andy Jackson, sitting astride a farm horse. It is a bronze, larger-than-life statue. Usually her horses were noble, prancing, fierce beasts. She made Jackson's horse a gentler animal by fixing the energy and tension of the work on the figure of young Jackson. The sculpture was initiated by a letter from a sixth-grade class at Rice Elementary School in Lancaster, South Carolina, asking Mrs. Huntington if she would sculpt a statue of young Andrew Jackson for the state park. Mrs. Huntington submitted to do so, and replied, in part, "A picture came to mind as I read your letter and I have tried out the composition. I have Jackson as a young man of sixteen or seventeen seated bareback on a farm horse, one hand leaning on the horse's rump and looking over his native hills, to wonder what the future holds for him. He must have been a good looking and thoughtful boy, wondering what the future might hold, moments we all have from our teens to our nineties." The statue was completed at her Bethel, Connecticut studio, and was first worked in clay in half the scale of the final statue. Even then, it was necessary for the octogenarian sculptor to use a tall ladder to reach the top. South Carolina school children responded by donating their nickels and dimes to raise the necessary funds for a massive base to support the statue, which looks out over the large expanse of lawn at the park. County workmen placed the statue on its Lancaster County pink granite base in time for the ceremony marking Andrew Jackson's 200th birthday, in March 1967. This was Huntington's last major work, completed after her ninety-first birthday. The statue is located at Andrew Jackson State Park, about nine miles (14 km) north of Lancaster, South Carolina, just off US 521.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "General Israel Putnam", Putnam Memorial Park, Redding, Connecticut, commemorates General Putnam's escape from the British in 1779, when he rode down a cliff at Horseneck Heights in Greenwich, Connecticut. The statue is located at the intersection of Routes 58 and 107 at the entrance to Putnam Park.

paragraph: Leo Stein

paragraph: Leo Stein (May 11, 1872 – July 29, 1947) was an American art collector and critic. He was born in Allegheny City (now in Pittsburgh), the older brother of Gertrude Stein. He became an influential promoter of 20th-century paintings. Beginning in 1892, he studied at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for two years. The following year, he traveled the world with his cousin, Fred. In 1897, he transferred to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1898.

paragraph: Stein spent a number of years living in Paris with his sister. In 1914, the two split due to Leo's resentment of Gertrude's infatuation with Alice B. Toklas, whom he described as "a kind of abnormal vampire". Stein returned to America to work as a journalist but eventually settled near Florence, Italy, with his long-time love interest, Nina Auzias. They eventually married in 1921.

paragraph: Stein died of cancer in 1947 in Florence. Auzias committed suicide two years later.

paragraph: Magnentius

paragraph: Magnentius (Latin: "Flavius Magnus Magnentius Augustus"; c. 303 – August 11, 353) was a usurper of the Roman Empire from 350 to 353.

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

paragraph: Born in Samarobriva (Amiens), Gaul, Magnentius was the commander of the Herculians and Jovians, the Imperial guard units. When the army grew dissatisfied with the behavior of Emperor Constans, it elevated Magnentius at Autun on 18 January 350. Constans was hunting near the Pyrenees away from his forces, when Magnentius' forces cornered and killed him at Helene(near Perpignan).

paragraph: Section::::Usurper.

paragraph: Magnentius quickly attracted the loyalty of the provinces in Britannia, Gaul, and Hispania, in part because he proved to be far more tolerant towards both Christians and Pagans. His control of Italia and Africa was secured through the election of his men to the most important offices. However, the short-lived revolt of Nepotianus, a member of the Constantinian dynasty, showed Magnentius that his status as emperor needed to be consolidated.

paragraph: Magnentius tried to strengthen his grasp on the territories previously controlled by Constans, moving towards the Danube. Vetranio, commander of the Pannonian army, had been elected Augustus by his troops in Mursa on 1 March. This revolt had a loyalist mark, since Vetranio was supported by Constantina, and Constantius II himself recognized Vetranio, sending him the imperial diadem.

paragraph: Section::::Demise.

paragraph: The remaining emperor of the family of Constantine I, Constantius II, broke off his war with Persia, and marched west from Syria. Despite Magnentius' efforts to win Vetranio over to his cause, the elderly Vetranio reached Constantius with his army, resigned the crown, and went into retirement in Bithynia.

paragraph: After electing Magnus Decentius (probably his brother) as Caesar and gathering as many troops as possible, Magnentius advanced his armies to meet those of Constantius in the Battle of Mursa Major in 351; Magnentius led his troops into battle, while Constantius spent the day of battle praying in a nearby church. Despite Magnentius' heroism, his troops were defeated and forced to retreat back to Gaul.

paragraph: As a result of Magnentius' defeat, Italy ejected his garrisons and rejoined the loyalist cause. Magnentius made a final stand in 353 at the Battle of Mons Seleucus, after which he committed suicide by falling on his sword.

paragraph: Following the suppression of Magnentius' rebellion, Constantius began to root out his followers. The most notorious agent he employed in this search was the "primicerius notariorum" Paulus Catena ("Paul the Chain").

paragraph: Some sources state that Magnentius' father was a Briton and his mother a Frank. His wife, Justina, later married Valentinian I.

paragraph: Peter Oundjian

paragraph: Peter Oundjian (born 21 December 1955) is a Canadian violinist and conductor.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born in Toronto, Ontario, as the youngest of five children from an Armenian father and English mother, Oundjian also claims Scottish ancestry through his maternal grandfather, a Sanderson, and the MacDonell of Glengarry clan. Oundjian was educated in England, where he began studying the violin at age seven with Manoug Parikian. He attended Charterhouse School in Godalming and continued his studies later with Bela Katona. He then attended the Royal College of Music.

paragraph: Oundjian subsequently studied at the Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian, Itzhak Perlman, and Dorothy DeLay. While at Juilliard, he minored in conducting, and later received encouragement in his endeavors when he attended a master class from the eminent Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1980, Oundjian won First Prize at the International Violin Competition in Viña del Mar, Chile. Oundjian became the first violinist of the Tokyo String Quartet and held the post for 14 years. A repetitive stress injury forced Oundjian to curtail his instrumental career. He then shifted his full-time musical focus to conducting.

paragraph: Oundjian was the Artistic Director of the Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam (now the Amsterdam Sinfonietta) from 1998 to 2003. He is also the Artistic Advisor and Principal Guest Conductor of the Caramoor International Music Festival. He was also the Principal Guest Conductor of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra for three years. For four summers, he led The Philadelphia Orchestra's "Absolutely Mozart" Festival. Oundjian became principal guest conductor and artistic advisor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in September 2006.

paragraph: Oundjian was named Music Director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) in January 2003, and assumed the post in 2004. The orchestra had financial problems before the time of Oundjian's appointment, and he contributed to an improvement in the orchestra's situation since the start of his tenure. The 2005 documentary film "Five Days in September: The Rebirth of an Orchestra" records the first days of Oundjian's first season as the TSO's music director. In February 2007, Oundjian extended his contract with the TSO to 2012. Following a subsequent contract extension through the 2013-2014 season, in April 2013, the TSO further extended his contract through the 2016-2017 season. Following a further TSO contract extension through the 2017-2018 season, Oundjian concluded his music directorship of the TSO at the close of the 2017-2018 season and was named the TSO's conductor emeritus. He also received the Key to the City from Toronto mayor John Tory.

paragraph: Since 1981, Oundjian has taught as an adjunct professor of violin at the Yale School of Music. In January 2011, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra announced the appointment of Oundjian as its next music director, as of the 2012-2013 season, with an initial contract of 4 years. He concluded his RSNO tenure at the close of the 2017-2018 season.

paragraph: In June 2007, Oundjian conducted the world premiere of an oratorio by Eric Idle and John DuPrez based on the Monty Python movie "Life of Brian", titled "Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy)", at the first Luminato Festival in Toronto, Canada. In January 2019, the Colorado Music Festival announced the appointment of Oundjian as its next music director.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Konrad Witz

paragraph: Konrad Witz (1400/1410 probably in Rottweil, Germany – winter 1445/spring 1446 in Basel, Switzerland) was a German-born painter, active mainly in Basel, Switzerland. His 1444 panel "The Miraculous Draft of Fishes" (a portion of a lost altarpiece) has been credited as the earliest extant faithful portrayal of a landscape in European art history, being based on observation of real topographical features.

paragraph: Witz is most famous for painting three altarpieces, all of which survive only partially. The earliest is the "" of about 1435 (today mostly in the Kunstmuseum, Basel, with isolated panels in other collections). The next is the "Altarpiece of the Virgin" (c. 1440), which has been associated with panels now in Basel, Nuremberg, and Strasbourg (Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame). Witz's final altarpiece is the "St. Peter Altarpiece" of 1444, painted for St. Peter's Cathedral, Geneva, and now in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva, which contains his most famous composition, the "Miraculous Draft of Fishes".

paragraph: The painting of "St. Christopher" (Kunstmuseum, Basel; illustrated) does not seem to be related to these major altarpieces. Other independent works by Witz and his followers can be found in Naples, Berlin, and New York (Frick Collection).

paragraph: Odo the Great

paragraph: Odo the Great (also called "Eudes" or "Eudo") (died 735), was the Duke of Aquitaine by 700. His territory included the Vasconia in the south-west of Gaul and the Duchy of Aquitaine (at that point located north-east of the river Garonne), a realm extending from the Loire to the Pyrenees, with the capital in Toulouse. He fought the Carolingian Franks and made alliances with the Moors to combat them. He retained this domain until his abdication in 735. He is remembered for defeating the Umayyads in 721 as they advanced down the Garonne through Aquitaine. He was the first to defeat them decisively in Western Europe. The feat earned him the epithet "The Great".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: His earlier life is obscure, as are his ancestry and ethnicity. One theory suggests that he was of Roman origin as contemporary Frankish chroniclers refer to his father as an enemy Roman. Several Dukes of Aquitaine have been suggested as Odo's father: Boggis or Bertrand, or Duke Lupus I. According to the spurious Charte d'Alaon, Hubertus was one of Odo's brothers.

paragraph: Odo succeeded to the ducal throne maybe as early as 679, probably the date of the death of Lupus, or 688. Other dates are possible, including 692, but he was certainly in power by 700.

paragraph: Section::::Early leadership.

paragraph: The historian Jean de Jaurgain cites him as fighting in 711 against the Visigoth Roderic in Pamplona. In 715 he declared himself independent during the civil war raging in Gaul. It is not likely that he ever took the title of king.

paragraph: In 718, he appears raising an army of Basques (""hoste Vasconum commota"") as an ally of Chilperic II of Neustria and the Mayor of the Palace Ragenfrid, who may have offered recognition of his kingship over Aquitaine. They were fighting against the Austrasian mayor of the palace, Charles Martel, but after the defeat of Chilperic at Soissons that year, he made peace with Charles by surrendering to him the Neustrian king and his treasures.

paragraph: Section::::Between Umayyads and Franks.

paragraph: Odo was also obliged to fight both the Umayyads and the Franks who invaded his kingdom. On 9 June 721 he inflicted a major defeat upon Al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani at the Battle of Toulouse, the first major battle lost by the Muslim Umayyad forces in their military campaign northwards, claiming the lives of thousands of Umayyad soldiers. The heroic victory was celebrated with gifts from the Pope, who declared the Aquitanian duke a Champion of (Roman) Christianity and solidified his independence.

paragraph: In order to help secure his borders against the Umayyads, he married his daughter, probably named Lampegia, to the Muslim Berber rebel lord Uthman ibn Naissa, called "Munuza" by the Franks, the deputy governor of what would later become Catalonia.

paragraph: Section::::Battles of Garonne, Tours and death.

paragraph: In 731, the Frankish Charles Martel, after defeating the Saxons, turned his attention to the rival southern realm of Aquitaine, denounced Odo's alliance with Uthman ibn Naissa, and crossed the Loire, so breaking the peace treaty held with Odo. The Frankish leader ransacked Aquitaine twice, seizing Bourges too, and Odo engaged the Frankish troops but was defeated. Charles went back to Francia.

paragraph: Meanwhile, the Umayyads were gathering forces to attack Odo's ally in the Pyrenean region of Cerdanya (maybe Catalonia) Uthman ibn Naissa. In 731, the Berber lord was subject to the attack of an expedition led by Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, overcoming and killing the rebel leader, and capturing Odo's daughter, who was sent as prisoner to a harem in Damascus. Busy as Odo was trying to fend off Charles's thrust, he didn't make it to help his ally.

paragraph: In 732, Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi's troops raided Vasconia, advanced towards Bordeaux and ransacked the city. Odo engaged them but was defeated by the Umayyads near Bordeaux. Following the defeat, Odo re-organised his scattered forces, and ran north to warn Charles Martel, Mayor of the palaces of Neustria and Austrasia, of the impending threat and to appeal for assistance in fighting the Arab-Berber advance, which he received in exchange for accepting formal Frankish overlordship. The duke, aged almost 80, joined Charles Martel's troops and was to form the Frankish army's left flank, while the Umayyads and the multinational army commanded by Charles built up their forces somewhere between Vienne and Clain to the north of Poitiers in preparation for the so-called Battle of Tours (732, or possibly 733).

paragraph: Odo led his forces to play a major role in defeating the Umayyad army when they broke into the main Cordovan camp and set fire to it, sparking confusion and wreaking havoc with the enemy's rearguard. The alliance defeated the Umayyads at the Battle of Tours in 732, and expelled them from Aquitaine.

paragraph: After the battle, Charles headed back north to his domains in Francia—Neustria and Austrasia— and duke Odo was left as ruler in Aquitaine and Vasconia. In 735 the Duke Odo abdicated or died, and was succeeded by his son Hunald. He may have died in a monastery where he retreated, perhaps as late as 740. Odo the Great's popularity in Aquitaine is attested by the "Vita Pardulfi".

paragraph: The name of the character of king Yon de Gascogne in the 12th-century tale "The Four Sons of Aymon" is probably a corruption of Odo.

paragraph: Paul J. Bradley

paragraph: Paul Joseph Bradley (born October 18, 1945) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He is the fourth and current Bishop of Kalamazoo.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and ministry.

paragraph: Paul Bradley was born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, to John and Cecilia (née Pater) Bradley. One of nine children, he has one brother and eight sisters; two sisters, Roberta (d. 2006) and Mariella, entered the religious life. He attended St. Meinrad Seminary in Indiana, and earned a Master's in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Vincent Leonard on May 1, 1971.

paragraph: Bradley then served as a parochial vicar at St. Sebastian Church in North Hills, at St. Paul Church in Butler, and at St. Kieran Church in Lawrenceville. He also served as youth director for the Northwest Deanery (1973-1975) and family life director for the Butler Deanery (1977-1982). From 1983 to 1988, he was director of the Office for Family Life in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. He was diocesan Secretary for Human Services from 1988 to 1994, during which time he also served as co-pastor with Daniel DiNardo (later a cardinal) of Madonna del Castello Church in Swissvale.

paragraph: In 1994, Bradley became pastor of St. Sebastian Church, which had been his first pastoral assignment. In addition to his role as pastor, he served as dean of the Northwest Deanery from 1998 to 2001. He was named rector of St. Paul Cathedral and pastor of the cathedral parish in January 2001. On November 7, 2003, he was made general secretary and vicar general of Pittsburgh diocese.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Auxiliary Bishop of Pittsburgh.

paragraph: On December 16, 2004, Bradley was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Pittsburgh and Titular Bishop of "Afufenia" by Pope John Paul II. He received his episcopal consecration on February 2, 2005 from then-Bishop Donald Wuerl, with then-Bishop DiNardo and Bishop David Zubik serving as co-consecrators, at St. Paul Cathedral. His selected as his episcopal motto: ""Waiting in Joyful Hope.""

paragraph: Following the promotion of then-Bishop Wuerl to Archbishop of Washington in June 2006, he was elected Apostolic Administrator of the diocese, serving until the installation of Wuerl's successor, Bishop Zubik, in September 2007.

paragraph: Bradley was later named the fourth Bishop of Kalamazoo, Michigan, on April 6, 2009. He succeeded the retiring James A. Murray, and was installed at St. Augustine Cathedral on June 5, 2009. As Bishop, he serves as the spiritual leader of over 107,000 Catholics in southwestern

paragraph: Michigan.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Bishop of Kalamazoo.:Coat of Arms.

paragraph: By heraldic tradition, the arms of the bishop of a diocese are joined to the arms of his jurisdiction, in this case the Diocese of Kalamazoo.

paragraph: These arms are displayed on a red field to bespeak the Native Americans that inhabited and continue to live in the region that is now the Diocese of Kalamazoo. On this field is placed a silver (white) wavy bend (a bar that runs from upper left to lower right) that is the heraldic representation of water. This bend is strewn with a seme (a scattering of no specific number) of blue annulets to represent bubbles. This symbol represents the English equivalent of the Native American name Kalamazoo, which means “boiling pot,” and is used to describe the Kalamazoo River because of the bubbles in the water.

paragraph: Below the wavy bend is a silver peace pipe, decorated with gold feathers, which was called a “calumet” by the French explorers that came to the region. This symbol of lasting and enduring peace is an object of profound veneration in the Native American culture because it is the supreme proof of hospitality, respecting the peace between parties that could not be broken without incurring the wrath of the gods. The totality of Peace, that is Christ, signified by this symbol, comes to those who believe in him as the Redeemer of the World.

paragraph: Above the bend is an open book (silver, edged in gold) that displays in red the words Tolle Lege. This charge honors St. Augustine of Hippo, titular of the Cathedral Church in Kalamazoo. The story is related that, as a repentant, St. Augustine meditating on the Sacred Scriptures under a tree heard a little child say “Take and Read” (Tolle Lege). Then opening the text to St. Paul's letter to the Romans, Augustine read “let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” (Rom. 13:13). Considering that he had heard the Voice of God, Augustine took up the religious profession, to the great joy of his mother, St. Monica, eventually becoming the Bishop of Hippo in northern Africa.

paragraph: For his personal arms Bishop Bradley has three bands on the shield. The top third contains the blue letter M with a crown inside a gold heart. The crowned M inside the heart represents the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom Bishop Bradley has a strong devotion. Positioned inside the gold heart, which represents love, the third of the great theological virtues, the crowned M is also mindful of the powerful loving influences on Bishop Bradley's life, including his dear deceased parents, John and Cecilia Bradley, his spiritual home of St. Cecilia Parish in Glassport, and St. Meinrad Seminary, where Bishop Bradley received his education and priestly formation for 12 years.

paragraph: The middle third shows a silver band with three wavy blue lines behind a gold anchor.

paragraph: These wavy lines represent the waters of Baptism, as well as the three rivers of Pittsburgh, while the gold anchor represents the second of the great theological virtues, hope, which flows from our new life of Baptism into Christ. The anchor is also reminiscent of the “hope” referred to in Bishop Bradley's episcopal motto.

paragraph: The bottom third shows two clasped hands, which represent all people of faith—the “pilgrim people” walking together on our journey toward the fulfillment of our hope, our eternal life in Heaven. Behind the clasped hands, the ancient Christian symbol of the Chi Rho reminds us that this journey is always undertaken in the presence of Christ.

paragraph: The shield is supported on a sword with a cross as its hilt. The cross represents faith, the first of the three theological virtues. This style of cross (as well as the silver band in the middle third) was traditionally on the Bradley family arms in England. The sword also represents Saint Paul, the patron of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and the patron saint of Bishop Bradley.

paragraph: Finally, the green throughout the shield and on the scroll below is the color of “hope,” echoed in Bishop Bradley's Episcopal motto, “Waiting in Joyful Hope.” This phrase, rooted in St. Paul's Letter to Titus 2:13, is drawn from the prayer following the Lord's Prayer in the Communion Rite of the Mass: “Deliver us Lord, from every evil and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.”

paragraph: Bishop Bradley's Coat of Arms was designed by William W. Hill, Department for Communications of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

paragraph: James Dinwiddie (astronomer)

paragraph: James Dinwiddie (8 December 1746, Dumfries - 19 March 1815, Pentonville) was a Scottish physicist, astronomer, inventor and natural philosopher. He was an early example of a science popularizer, giving tours and experimental demonstrations across England and Ireland. He travelled and resided in Calcutta, India and travelled to China along with Lord Macartney as part of the Macartney Embassy to lecture on physics and promote British astronomical techniques.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Dinwiddie was born on 8 December 1746 in Tinwald near Dumfries where his parents John Dinwoody and Catharine Riddick were farmers. One of five children, he was born shortly after the death of his father. He worked on the farm and gained an interest in mechanical devices, building a wooden clock even as a young boy. He went to school at the Dumfries academy where he studied mathematics and languages and continued his studies at the University of Edinburgh. The family hoped he would join the church but he took an interest in science. After his studies he spent some time as a teacher of mathematics and natural philosophy (physics mostly). Around this period he took a special interest in surveying and navigation. In February 1778 he received a Master of Arts from the University of Edinburgh and he was invited to teach at Ayr by Professor Dugald Stewart. In his lectures he demonstrated experiments, instruments and emphasised the use of mathematical principles involved in physical laws and gave examples to support his view:

paragraph: Dinwiddie however fared badly economically and earned little. For some time he taught geography. When Charles Spalding, the inventor of a diving bell and fellow experimenter, was killed in 1783 in an underwater operation, Dinwiddie attempted to examine the cause of the accident. When Jean-Pierre Blanchard and others began to make ballooning popular in Europe, Dinwiddie also attempted to make one. He used a technique to make silk airtight and ballooned from Bristol to Waterford while forgetting to pay his rent back in Dublin and nearly losing all his equipment which were to be sold off by the owner. He received an honorary Doctor of Law degree in 1792 from the University of Edinburgh and he was invited to join the embassy of Lord Macartney to China in 1792-93 where he was to demonstrate science and especially astronomy, a diving bell and a balloon for the Chinese emperor. He was initially designated as "Machinist to the Embassy" and later as "Astronomer". The astronomical instruments however failed to impress the Chinese unlike a German made planetarium device known as the "Weltmaschine" designed by Philipp Matthäus Hahn. On return from China he met Sir John Shore, the governor of Calcutta. Dinwiddie stayed on in Calcutta and continued his researches. In 1795 he gathered subscriptions to lecture to nearly 180 ladies and gentlemen in Calcutta and raised rupees 100 for it. Some of the surveying instruments carried by Dinwiddie to China such as the chain were then sold in Calcutta and used by William Lambton in his initial surveys in southern India. In August 1795 Dinwiddie was appointed to assist the Board of Trade on matters of science for a pay of 500 rupees a month for a year but this was not extended. He also constructed a voltaic pile with which he "treated" patients with palsy and rheumatism with electric shocks. Meanwhile, Dinwiddie was appointed as professor of natural philosophy at the Fort William College in 1801. He also conducted public as well as private lectures and demonstrations for Europeans and some of the Indian elite. He trained the Indian students Hurry Mohun Thakoor and Gopee Mohun Deb in astronomy in 1795. His students included the surveyor James Rennell. Dinwiddie advised the East India Company, prepared the chemists kit carried by Francis Buchanan for his survey of Mysore and manufactured nitrous acid for use in the hospital at Calcutta. Dinwiddie was also in correspondence with Joseph Hume who was his agent in London. In 1796 he visited Madras where he met the Governor, Lord Hobart. He was elected to the Asiatic Society of Bengal. Dinwiddie left India in September 1806 and returned to England. He settled in London where he put together a collection of curiosities from India, China and Java. His hearing and health declined but he continued to pursue his researches, attending the lectures of others. In July 1810 he was elected to the Royal Institution and was made a member of the Committee of Mathematics, Mechanics, and Mechanical inventions.

paragraph: Bobby Carpenter (American football)

paragraph: Robert Joseph Carpenter, III (born August 1, 1983) is a former American football linebacker. He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft after playing college football at Ohio State. Carpenter has also played for the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions and New England Patriots.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Carpenter attended Lancaster High School in Lancaster, Ohio, a school who Super Bowl Champion Jim Cordle also attended and graduated from. In addition to being a football standout, he was also a member of the swim team. During his senior year, he was selected as All-Ohio first team (football), and also went to the District Finals in swimming.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: In 50 games at The Ohio State University, Carpenter started 26 times. He registered 191 tackles (121 solos) with 14.5 sacks and 23.5 for losses. He forced two fumbles, deflected seven passes and had three interceptions.

paragraph: In 2002, he played in every game as a true freshman. The next year, he started three contests at strong-side outside linebacker, totaling 37 tackles (24 solos) with 4.5 sacks, 6.5 stops for losses and a pair of forced fumbles.

paragraph: Carpenter was a full-time starter in 2004, lining up at strong-side linebacker.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Dallas Cowboys.

paragraph: Carpenter was the Dallas Cowboys' first round selection (18th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft. It was later reported that head coach Bill Parcells influenced the organization into drafting him, based on his previous experience coaching Carpenter's father, Rob. His best game with the Cowboys came in a 2006 playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, where he started at outside linebacker and recorded five tackles and three deflected passes.

paragraph: In 2009, after playing mostly on special teams he took over the team's nickel linebacker role. Over his four-year stint with the Cowboys he failed to establish a starting role, registering 96 tackles and 29 special teams tackles. In the fourth episode of the 2008 Hard Knocks series, Carpenter was continuously beaten in a pads and shorts practice by right tackle Marc Colombo. During that practice Colombo referred to him as "Barbie Carpenter", while also making fun of his shoulder length blonde hair.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:St. Louis Rams.

paragraph: Carpenter was traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for offensive tackle Alex Barron on May 10, 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Miami Dolphins.

paragraph: On September 6, 2010, the Miami Dolphins signed Bobby Carpenter as a free agent reuniting him with Bill Parcells who drafted him with the Dallas Cowboys. He was waived on October 18, because of a mistake on his special teams blocking assignment against the Green Bay Packers, that came on the heels of two previous blocking assignment errors against the New England Patriots.
