paragraph: Léon Guignard

paragraph: Jean Louis Léon Guignard (13 April 1852 in Mont-sous-Vaudrey – 7 March 1928 in Paris) was a French pharmacist and botanist.

paragraph: In 1882 he received his doctorate of sciences in Paris, and afterwards served as a professor of botany at the Faculty of Sciences of Lyon. In 1887 he succeeded Gaspard Adolphe Chatin as chair of botany at the Ecole Supérieure de Pharmacie in Paris. From 1900 to 1910 he was dean to the faculty of pharmacy.

paragraph: In 1899 he was named president of the Académie des sciences. He was also a member of the Société de biologie (from 1888), the Académie de Médecine (from 1897) and the Académie d'Agriculture (from 1915). In 1920 he was chosen a commander in the Legion d'Honneur.

paragraph: Along with Russian biologist Sergei Navashin, he is credited as the co-discoverer of double fertilization in flowering plants. The two men made their discoveries independent of each other, Navashin in 1898 and Guignard in 1899. He also introduced a new method for detecting the presence of hydrocyanic acid in plants. In addition, he conducted significant research on the origin and structure of integuments for a large number of seeds.

paragraph: Charles Keene (artist)

paragraph: Charles Samuel Keene (10 August 1823 – 4 January 1891) was an English artist and illustrator, who worked in black and white.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: The son of Samuel Browne Keene, a solicitor, he was born at Hornsey. Educated at the Ipswich School until his sixteenth year, he early showed artistic leanings. Two years after the death of his father he was articled to a London solicitor, but, the occupation proving uncongenial, he was removed to the office of an architect, Mr Pukington. His spare time was now spent in drawing historical and nautical subjects in watercolor. For these trifles his mother, to whose energy and common sense he was greatly indebted, soon found a purchaser, through whom he was brought to the notice of the Whympers, the wood-engravers. This led to his being bound to them as apprentice for five years. His earliest known design is the frontispiece, signed Chas. Keene, to "The Adventures of Dick Boldhero in Search of his Uncle, &c." (Darton & Co., 1842). His term of apprenticeship over, he hired as studio an attic in the block of buildings standing, up to 1900, between the Strand and Holywell Street, and was soon hard at work for the "Illustrated London News". At this time he was a member of the Artists Society in Clipstone Street, afterwards removed to the Langham studios.

paragraph: Section::::Rise.

paragraph: In December 1851 he made his first appearance in "Pencil" and, after nine years of steady work, was called to a seat at the famous table. It was during this period of probation that he first gave evidence of those transcendent qualities which make his work at once the joy and despair of his brother craftsmen. On the starting of "Once a Week", in 1859, Keene's services were requisitioned, his most notable series in this periodical being the illustrations to "Charles Reade's A Good Fight" (afterwards rechristened "The Cloister and the Hearth") and to George Meredith's "Evan Harrington". There is a quality of conventionality in the earlier of these which completely disappears in the later.

paragraph: In 1858, Keene, who was endowed with a fine voice and was an enthusiastic admirer of old-fashioned music, joined the Jermyn Band, afterwards better known as the Moray Minstrels. He was also for many years a member of Leslie's Choir, the Sacred Harmonic Society, the Catch, Glee and Canon Club, and the Bach Choir. He was also an industrious performer on the bagpipes, of which instrument he brought together a considerable collection of specimens.

paragraph: About 1863 the Arts Club in Hanover Square was started, with Keene as one of the original members. In 1864 John Leech died, and Keene's work in "Punch" thenceforward found wider opportunities. It was about this time that the greatest of all modern artists of his class, Menzel, discovered Keene's existence, and became a subscriber to "Punch" solely for the sake of enjoying week by week the work of his brother craftsman. In 1872, Keene, who, though fully possessed of the humorous sense, was not within measurable distance of Leech as a jester, and whose drawings were consequently not sufficiently funny to appeal to the laughter-loving public, was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of Joseph Crawhall, who had been in the habit for many years of jotting down any humorous incidents he might hear of or observe, illustrating them at leisure for his own amusement. These were placed unreservedly at Keene's disposal, and to their inspiration we owe at least 250 of his most successful drawings in the last twenty years of his connection with "Punch". A list of more than 200 of these subjects is given at the end of "The Life and Letters of Charles Keene".

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: In 1879 Keene removed to 239 Kings Road, Chelsea, which he occupied until his last illness, walking daily to and from his house, 112 Hammersmith Road. In 1881 a volume of his "Punch" drawings was published by Messrs Bradbury & Agnew, with the title "Our People". In 1883, Keene, who had hitherto been a strong man, developed symptoms of dyspepsia and rheumatism. By 1889 these had increased to an alarming degree, and the last two years of his life were passed in acute suffering borne with the greatest courage. He died unmarried, after a singularly uneventful life, and his body lies in Hammersmith cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Critical overview.

paragraph: Keene, who never had any regular art training, was essentially an artist's artist. He holds the foremost place amongst English craftsmen in black and white, though his work has never been appreciated at its real value by the general public. No doubt the main reason for this lack of public recognition was his unconventionality. He drew his models exactly as he saw them, not as he knew the world wanted to see them. He found enough beauty and romance in all that was around him, and, in his "Punch" work, enough subtle humour in nature seized at her most humorous moments to satisfy him. He never required his models to grin through a horse collar, as James Gillray did, or to put on their company manners, as was George du Maurier's wont. But Keene was not only a brilliant worker in pen and ink. As an etcher he has also to be reckoned with, notwithstanding the fact that his plates numbered not more than fifty at the outside. Impressions of them are exceedingly rare, and hardly half a dozen of the plates were known to be in existence as of 1911. He himself regarded them only as experiments in a difficult but fascinating medium. But in the opinion of the expert they suffice to place him among the best etchers of the 19th century. Apart from the etched frontispieces to some of the "Punch" pocket-books, only three, and these by no means the best, have been published. Writing in "L'Artiste" of a few which he had seen, Félix Bracquemond says: "By the freedom, the largeness of their drawing and execution, these plates must be classed amongst modern etchings of the first rank." A few impressions are in the British Museum, but in the main they were given away to friends and lie hidden in the albums of the collector. The painter Walter Sickert cites Keene often in his book "A Free House! or the Artist as Craftsman" edited by Osbert Sitwell. Sickert describes the drawings of Keene as having an authenticity about them because he draws from life as a direct observer and avoids the usual cliches that were common in his day. Sickert urges the use of "sight size" drawing from life, by which he means to draw a 6-foot man from 8 feet away so the size of the figure can be seen as a whole and brought to the page as if one was drawing on a pane of glass while looking at the subject. "And so, from the incised designs on bones scratched by primeval man, to the drawings of Charles Keene, has line been the language of design... Line supposes an unbroken thought, a sentence said in a breath. Line supposes that the hand is not taken off the paper." There is an air of informality and directness to Keene's drawings that give them a sense of immediacy and vivacity.

paragraph: Abraham Jacobi

paragraph: Abraham Jacobi (6 May 1830 – 10 July 1919) was a German physician and pioneer of pediatrics, opening the first children's clinic in the United States. To date, he is the only foreign-born president of the American Medical Association. He helped found the "American Journal of Obstetrics". He is regarded as the "Father of American Pediatrics".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Hartum (now a district of Hille), Westphalia, he was the son of a poor Jewish shopkeeper and his wife who educated him at great sacrifice. He attended the gymnasium in Minden. After graduating there, he studied medicine at the universities of Greifswald, Göttingen, and Bonn, receiving an MD at Bonn in 1851. Shortly thereafter, Jacobi joined the revolutionary movement in Germany (see Revolution of 1848). He was detained in prisons at Berlin and Cologne in 1851, and eventually convicted of treason and imprisoned at Minden and Bielefeld until his discharge in the summer of 1853. Upon release, Jacobi sailed to England, where he stayed with both Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. In the following autumn he moved to New York where he settled as a practicing physician.

paragraph: He remained in contact with Marx and Engels and in 1857 Jacobi was involved in founding the New York Communist Club.

paragraph: Starting in 1861 at New York Medical College, he was a professor of childhood diseases. From 1867 to 1870, he was chair of the medical department of the City University of New York. He taught at Columbia University for 30+ years from 1870 to 1902. He later moved to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he established the first Department of Pediatrics at a general hospital.

paragraph: He was president of the New York Pathological and Obstetrical Societies, and twice of the Medical Society of the County of New York, visiting physician to the German Hospital beginning 1857, to Mount Sinai Hospital beginning 1860, to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum and the infant hospital on Randall's Island beginning 1868, and to Bellevue Hospital beginning 1874. In 1882 he was president of the New York State Medical Society, and in 1885 became president of the New York Academy of Medicine. From 1868 to 1871, he was joint editor of the "American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children".

paragraph: Civic work was an important part of his life. He advocated for birth control and civil service reform and opposed prohibition. He was strongly anti-Hohenzollern during World War I. In the summer of 1918, a house fire destroyed the manuscript of his autobiography and other personal papers at his Lake George home.

paragraph: He died on 10 July 1919 at his summer home in Bolton Landing at age 89. Jacobi is interred at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: His first wife, Fanny Meyer Jacobi (1833−1851), was a sister of Sophie Meyer Boas (1828−1916), the mother of ethnologist Franz Boas, who also attended the gymnasium in Minden. In 1873, he married Mary Putnam Jacobi, also a physician. She was the very first female student at the Faculté de Médecine de Paris in Paris, France. They had three children, only one of whom - Marjorie McAneny - survived to adulthood.

paragraph: Vātsyāyana

paragraph: Vātsyāyana is the name of an ancient Indian philosopher, known for writing the "Kama Sutra", the most well-known book in the world on human sexuality. He lived in India during the second or third century CE, probably in Pataliputra (modern day Patna).

paragraph: He is not to be confused with Pakṣilasvāmin Vātsyāyana, the author of "Nyāya Sutra Bhāshya", the first preserved commentary on Gotama's "Nyāya Sutras". His name is sometimes erroneously confused with Mallanaga, the prophet of the Asuras, to whom the origin of erotic science is attributed.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Hardly anything is known about Vātsyāyana, although it is believed that his disciples went on his instructions, on the request of the Hindu Kings in the Himalayan range to influence the hill tribals to give up the pagan cult of sacrifices. He is said to have created the legend of Tara among the hill tribes as a tantric goddess. Later as the worship spread to the east Garo hills, the goddess manifest of a 'yoni' goddess Kamakhya was created. His interest in human sexual behavior as a medium of attaining spirituality was recorded in his treatise Kama Sutra.

paragraph: At the close of the Kama Sutra this is what he writes about himself:

paragraph: After reading and considering the works of Babhravya and other ancient authors, and thinking over the meaning of the rules given by them, this treatise was composed, according to the precepts of the Holy Writ, for the benefit of the world, by Vatsyayana, while leading the life of a religious student at Benares, and wholly engaged in the contemplation of the Deity. This work is not to be used merely as an instrument for satisfying our desires. A person acquainted with the true principles of this science, who preserves his Dharma (virtue or religious merit), his Artha (worldly wealth) and his Kama (pleasure or sensual gratification), and who has regard to the customs of the people, is sure to obtain the mastery over his senses. In short, an intelligent and knowing person attending to Dharma and Artha and also to Kama, without becoming the slave of his passions, will obtain success in everything that he may do.

paragraph: It is believed that he must have lived between the 1st and 6th century CE, on the following grounds: He mentions that Satakarni Satavahana, a king of Kuntal, killed Malayevati his wife with an instrument called Katamari by striking her in the passion of love. Vatsyayana quotes this case to warn people of the danger arising from some old customs of striking women when under the influence of sexual passion. This king of Kuntal is believed to have lived and reigned, consequently Vatsyayana must have lived after him. On the other hand, another author, Varahamihira, in the eighteenth chapter of his "Brihatsanhita", discusses of the science of love, and appears to have borrowed largely from Vatsyayana on the subject. Varahamihira is believed to have lived during the 6th century, and therefore Vatsyayana must have written his works before the 6th century.

paragraph: Vernon Hill (cricketer)

paragraph: Vernon Tickell Hill (1871–1932) was a Welsh cricketer who made 140 first-class appearances for Somerset and Oxford University between 1891 and 1912. He first played for Somerset during their successful 1890 season. He made his top-score of 116 against Kent in 1898, sharing a seventh wicket partnership of 240 with Sammy Woods. He was an infrequent bowler, claiming 31 career first-class wickets with his right-arm fast-medium bowling, but never taking more than six wickets in a season. Hill twice toured the United States of America, first as a member of F Mitchell's XI, and then as a member of PF Warner's XI.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Family.

paragraph: Vernon was the son of Sir Edward Stock Hill. His elder brother Eustace also played for Somerset while his younger brother Percy played minor counties cricket for Glamorgan. Vernon's sons Mervyn and Evelyn played for Somerset. Mervyn also played first-class cricket for Glamorgan.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Early life.

paragraph: Vernon Hill initially attended Rev. J Cornish's School at Clevedon where he was a contemporary of Lionel Palairet. He went to Winchester College in 1884, was in the second eleven in 1886 and the first eleven from 1887 to 1889. At Winchester he was mainly known as a bowler. In these years he made appearances for the College against Eton. He went up to Oriel College, Oxford, in 1889. He played four games for Somerset in their undefeated summer of 1890, aged just 19, helping them regain first-class status. In the following 1891 County Championship, he appeared in nine of the county's twelve matches, also playing one match for Oxford University against Oxfordshire. He played nine times in first-class university matches for Oxford in 1892, under the captaincy of his friend and Somerset teammate Lionel Palairet. It was while playing for Oxford in the Varsity match that Hill hit his first century, a 100-minute 114, adding 178 in a sixth wicket stand with Malcolm Jardine. Hill played for Somerset again through the summer, scoring 224 runs in his 13 innings for the county. In 1893, Hill played four more times for the University without making a notable impression on the scorecard.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Somerset (1893–1902).

paragraph: In addition to his four matches for the University in 1893, Hill made seven appearances for Somerset that summer, but his poor form with the bat was replicated for both sides. He failed to make a first-class half-century all season, the 47 scored in Somerset's innings and 170 run victory over Gloucestershire being his top-score. His attacking style lent itself to quick scoring, but not always to making big totals. Of his 114 in the Varsity match, "Wisden" says that he hit with "a power which was absolutely amazing". In "From Sammy to Jimmy: The Official History of Somerset County Cricket Club", Peter Roebuck describes his intent "to hit every ball as far as he could". During his time at Winchester, Hill had been used as a bowler, but was rarely used at Somerset. In 1894 against Nottinghamshire, he was brought on as the seventh change bowler, only wicket-keeper Leslie Gay and fellow opener Richard Palairet unused. In his 1.4 overs, Hill claimed three wickets for the expense of only a single run.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Return to Wales (1903–1907).

paragraph: Just after the turn of the century, Hill returned to his native Wales and took over the captaincy of Cardiff Cricket Club. He also took on a large role off the field, organising fund-raising fixtures at Cardiff Arms Park, including an annual Gentlemen v Players match. Glamorgan benefited greatly both socially and financially from these fixtures, and it is likely that without Hill's work, Glamorgan would not have been able to achieve first-class status as early as 1921. During this time he was a partner in the firm W R Corfield and Co, ship managers and ship brokers. The partnership was formally dissolved on 1 June 1908, with William Reginald Corfield continuing the business on his own.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Somerset (1908–1912).

paragraph: In 1908, Hill moved back to the South West and nineteen further games for Somerset. After a number of games in both the 1908 and 1909 seasons, his appearances were limited in each of the following three years, and his last match was played in May 1912. In 1925, Hill was one of five partners in Woodspring & Sand Bay Dairies in Weston-super-Mare; the other partners were Gwynnedd Blanche Hill, Eric Sanderson Armstrong and Ernest Carter and Jack Robson Carter. The partnership was dissolved on 1 October 1925, with Hill and Gwynnedd Blanche Hill continuing the business.

paragraph: He owned Woodspring Priory and farmed the surrounding land.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Military service.

paragraph: Despite being 43 when the First World War began, Hill joined the British Army, being commissioned as a temporary captain in 12th Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps on 7 December 1914. This was one of the so-called Service Battalions, raised as part of Kitchener's Army. At the time he was commissioned, the battalion was based at Blackdown Camp and moved to Hindhead in February 1915, and Larkhill in April, before landing at Boulogne on 21 July 1915. The battalion was part of 60 Infantry Brigade in 20th (Light) Division. Hill served in France, and by the time he relinquished his commission on 12 May 1919 on demobilisation, had been promoted to temporary major and appears to have transferred to the General List.

When his former co-MP, William Sturges-Bourne resigned his seat a few weeks later, Byng returned to his former seat and held it until the Great Reform Bill of 1832 abolished the constituency. From 1834 he was MP for the new constituency of Chatham, a seat he held until 1835 and again from 1837 to 1852. He served under Lord Melbourne as a Lord of the Treasury between June and November 1834. Between 1836 and 1837 he represented Poole in parliament. He again served under Lord Melbourne as Comptroller of the Household between 1835 and 1841 and as Treasurer of the Household between June and August 1841 and was sworn of the Privy Council in 1835. When Lord John Russell became Prime Minister in 1846, Byng was appointed Joint Secretary to the Board of Control, a post he retained until 1847.

paragraph: After losing his parliamentary seat in 1852, Byng was summoned to the House of Lords through a writ of acceleration in his father's barony of Strafford a year later and inherited his father's earldom in 1860.

paragraph: Chacao was a 16th-century Carib cacique who governed in the region of the valley of Caracas, at the time called San Francisco, in present-day Venezuela. Today the region, Chacao Municipality, Miranda, bears his name.

paragraph: Around 1567, Chacao was taken prisoner by Juan de Gamez upon the orders of Diego de Losada, who had told him to go out and capture natives; Losada later slackened the order. Losada's reasons for the order remain unknown, but it has been suggested that he wanted to befriend the cacique before attempting to pacify the region. Regardless, in 1568, Chacao allied himself with Guaicaipuro and several other local chiefs in a futile attempt to stop the advance of the conquistadors; they were beaten, by the same Losada, in the Battle of Maracapana.

paragraph: Guido Mazzoni (sculptor)

paragraph: Guido Mazzoni (c. 1445 – 1518, active 1473–1518) was an Italian sculptor , mainly in terracotta, and painter of the Renaissance period, working in Bologna, Naples and France. He is also sometimes referred to as "Il Modanino".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Guido Mazzoni was born in Modena and first became active in that city, ruled at the time by the Este family of Ferrara. A case has been made for his early training in the studio of Francesco Cossa. His earliest recorded work appears in 1473, when he made theatrical masks and props for the Duke of Ferrara's wedding. He is known to have continued such ephemera of court life throughout his career, but is most famous for his ultra-realistic terracotta sculpture.

paragraph: Mazzoni's best known works are a series of multi-figure deictions of the "Lamentation" ("Compianto") now in the Church of Gesù, Ferrara, and another in the church of Sant'Anna dei Lombardi in Naples. These realistic life-size figures are modelled in terracotta, for native stone was lacking in Modena, and subsequently painted. They represent emotive mourners gathered around the dead Christ, in which each character is a portrait of either the donor or a relative of the donor; in the Modena "Lamentation", for instance, Ercole I d'Este represents Nicodemus and his wife Eleonor represents Mary of Cleophas. In the Neapolitan piece, Alfonso II is Joseph of Arimathea. It seems probable that Mazzoni's background in theatrical masks and props affected his work, because of the staged melodrama in their gestures and expressions. One attractive theory is that they relate to an annual passion play, in which these notable figures may have played some part.

paragraph: In the more prestigious artistic centre of Florence the Della Robbia family became famous for their distinctive blue and white tin-glazed terracotta work, which was highly skillfully made yet provided relatively cheap decoration. Most closely related to the work of Mazzoni, however, is that of Niccolò dell'Arca, who operated in Bologna. He also made scenes of the "Lamentation", but they display an expressionist style, with an exaggerated sense of movement and drama. Mazzoni's figures are far more realistic and their movements and gestures are more restrained.

paragraph: Mazzoni's work was well respected by his contemporaries, and he was granted tax exemption in 1481. He soon attracted the attention of the outside world, when in 1489 he was asked by the aforementioned Alfonso of Aragon, brother-in law to Ercole, to carry out some work in Naples. There Charles VIII of France was so taken with Guido's work during his successful military intervention in Naples that in 1495 Guido became one of the first Italian artists to move to the court of Charles VIII of France, where he was the best paid also knighted. Guido was entrusted with the kneeling lifesize figure of the king and accompanying angels for Charles VIII's tomb at the royal abbey of St-Denis, destroyed during the French Revolution. The French court became increasingly keen on Italian artists and afterwards began luring many more. Guido and his French workshop have been recognized with more and less certainty in other funereal works of personages connected with the court: the figures of Philippe de Commines, historian of Charles' expedition, and his wife, Hélène de Chambes, removed from the Grands-Augustins to the Louvre Museum reveal Mazzoni's dramatic realism through a workshop execution; the "Dormition of the Virgin" for the Abbaie de la Trinité, Fécamp, is attributed to Mazzoni with the aid of his studio;

paragraph: In 1509 a document records a payment to Mazzoni for sculpted medallions "all'antique" for the Château de Gaillon, built by Cardinal Georges d'Amboise, the faithful friend and councillor of Louis XII of France. Timothy Verdon notes the close relations of the abbot at Fécamp and the archbishop of Rouen, who was charged with the funeral arrangements for Charles VII, and suggests a further attribution, of a "Pietà" with four lifesize figures that was formerly in the embrasure behind the altar in the abbot's chapel of the Hôtel de Cluny, Paris; the ensemble was commissioned by the brother of the Cardinal d'Amboise, Jacques d'Amboise, abbot of Cluny. The sculptural group was described in the 18th century by Jean-Aymar Piganiol de La Force, ""d'une bonne main et très bien dessinées pour le temps""Description historique de la ville de Paris" vol. vi (1765) pp 306f, but were destroyed at the Revolution; there remain only the subsidiary early 16th-century painted images of "Mary of Cleophas" and "Mary Salomé", which Verdon suggests are by Mazzoni.

paragraph: Guido Mazzoni is an overlooked artist of the period. His art is beautifully crafted and stunningly realistic in its psychological portrayals, and he was sought after by some of the most powerful men of his age. As Andrew Graham-Dixon points out, Mazzoni 'deserves to be ranked alongside any of his better-known contemporaries. The traditions of the highly realised terracotta sculpture [...] played a crucial role in shaping the imagination of pious Italians in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries' His lagging fame, relative to the sculptors of Rome and Florence, in part can be assigned to distance from the artistic centers of Florence, Venice and Rome. In addition, his use of terracotta is by some reflective of less value than works of bronze and marble. Ultimately, Mazzoni was a highly important artist of his period, both in terms of the skill of his art and the historical significance of his life. As Alison Cole points out in her study of the Italian Renaissance Courts, it had a biblical symbolism as 'men are "no more than mortal clay"'.

paragraph: His work was an influence on the monochrome terracotta sculpture of Antonio Begarelli.

paragraph: Lovisa Augusti

paragraph: Lovisa Sofia Augusti (born Ester Salomon; 1751 or 1756 – 25 June 1790) was a Swedish opera singer (soprano). She was regarded as one of the most noted opera singers of the Royal Swedish Opera during the Gustavian era. She was appointed "Hovsångare" in 1773 and inducted to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in 1788.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early life.

paragraph: Lovisa Augusti was born in Germany under the name "Ester Salomon" as the daughter of the travelling Jewish-German musician Israel Salomon. She was trained as a singer, while her brother Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Salomoni was trained as a violinist.

paragraph: In 1766, she arrived in Sweden with her brother and father. They hare noted to have performed in Varberg in that year, when her brother played the violin while she sang Italian arias. She performed in a concert with a musician of the royal "Hovkapellet" , Francesco Antonio Uttini on 22 February 1767 in Gothenburg, where she made a success. On 25 March 1767, she converted to Lutheranism in the Gothenburg Cathedral and was given the name Lovisa Sofia Salomoni; her brother also converted, though the date of his baptism is not mentioned. They reportedly converted to avoid the strict regulations regarding non-Christian entertainers.

paragraph: After her conversion, she became the protege of the wife of General von Kaulbar. She married the German violinist Friedrich Benedict Augusti in 1772.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Career at the Royal opera.

paragraph: In 1773, she performed for king Gustav III of Sweden during his visit to Kristianstad. The king was so impressed by her performance that he granted her a position at the Royal Swedish Opera and appointed her court singer, and her spouse and brother where both engaged at the Royal orchestra.

paragraph: Her education is unknown, but her voice is described as well schooled to its sound and skill, and she was regarded as one of the best singers of the nation. To her appearance, she was described as pretty and diminutive and referred to as "Little Mrs Augusti". Augusti was the cover for the great prima donna Elisabeth Olin whenever she was sick or had to take maternity leave. Like Elisabeth Olin, she had very good employment terms: in 1776, she was given a contract for life, was granted privileges such as the right to use the carriages belonging to the stables of the royal court and to set her own terms, such as to demand that her productions should be held in the name of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music to protect her status.

paragraph: On 12 February 1788, the same year as her colleagues Caroline Halle-Müller and Franziska Stading, she was inducted to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music on chair number 106.

paragraph: Her spouse left the country because of his debts in 1787, and she had no children. She died 1790 in Stockholm.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Roles.

paragraph: Her most well-known roles were her portrayal of Apollo (and later the part of Eurydice) in "Orpheus and Eurydice" by Glück in 1775, the part of Love in "Adonis" (the season 1775–76), Astrild in "Silvie" by Berton (1773–74), the Joy in "Amphion" by Adlerbeth, Anna Eriksdotter (Bielke) in "Gustaf Vasa" by Gustav III (1785) and Märta Banér in "Gustaf Adolf and Ebba Brahe" by Gustav III (1787–1788). Other parts were Amphitrite in "Neptun and Amphitrite" by Gallodier with Johan Filip Lising (1774–1775), Aeglé in "Aeglé" by Adlerbeth with Carl Stenborg (1774–75), Zelis in "Aline, drottning av Golconda" by Uttini, (1775–76), Lucile in "Lucile" with Carl Stenborg (1775–76), Lovisa in "Desertören" (1776–77), and Jealousy in "Procris and Cephal" by Gretry (1777–78).

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Gustav Löwenhielm mentioned her importance in Swedish theater and opera history in the 19th century, during a discussion about the employment of foreign artists, when he pointed out that several of the artists during the foundation of the Royal Swedish Opera and the Royal Dramatic Theatre had been foreigners: "Is it impossible to engage Mr Berg and Miss Schoultz? - Generally, I can not see how we can elude the employment of half grown foreigners. Gustav III's "Swedish" national theatre started with the "Danish" Mrs Müller, the "French" Mrs Marcadet, the "German" Mamsell Stading, the "German" Mrs Augusti and the "Polish" Mrs Karsten. These ladies occupied our stage and kept it from the foundation of the opera and the premature departure of Mrs Olin in the beginning of the 1780s, until the year of 1800, when the school of Mrs Desguillons had created Mamsell Wässelia cum celeris."

paragraph: Nicholas Carew (Lord Privy Seal)

paragraph: Nicholas Carew (died 1390), of Beddington in Surrey, was an English lawyer, landowner, courtier, administrator and politician who served as Keeper of the Privy Seal during the reign of King Edward III.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Traditional sources make him a son of Nicholas Carew, who married twice and died in 1308, but this is improbable and he was more likely a grandson.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Not being heir to any significant property, he probably trained as a lawyer, working for private clients and for the crown. By 1342 he had been granted the manor of Banstead in Surrey for life and to this he added holdings in Kent. Three major clients were the Chief Justice of the King's Bench, Sir Richard III Willoughby, his daughter and heiress Lucy, and her husband Sir Thomas Huscarle, an MP who was lord of the manor of Purley Magna in Berkshire and died by 1352. By 1356 Carew had married the widow, gaining control of her lands in Surrey and Berkshire, and made her manor of Beddington, which her father had bought in 1345, the family home.

paragraph: In 1360 he was chosen to sit for Surrey in Parliament and he became a trusted member of the Royal Household. In 1371 he was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal, the first layman to hold the post, and remained in office until the king's death in 1377. He was one of the group of courtiers around Edward III, including William, Lord Latimer, Lord John Neville, Sir Alan Buxhull, Richard Lyons, and the king's mistress Alice Perrers, who increasingly controlled access to and decisions emerging from the king as his health failed. Influential in the royal campaign in 1376 against William Wykeham, bishop of Winchester, he was named as an executor and trustee of the king's will.

paragraph: After the king's death, he sat again for Surrey in the Parliament of October 1377. Alice Perrers asked him to help refute the allegations against her but when she went on trial in December the court heard his view that it was she who induced the senile king to pardon Richard Lyons from his conviction for financial malpractice.

paragraph: Thereafter he seems to have withdrawn from public life, dying on 17 August 1390. In his will, made at Beddington on 13 October 1387 and proved at Croydon on 26 September 1390, he asked to be buried in the church of St Mary at Beddington next to his brother John, a priest. Despite being a county member in Parliament and a senior member of government, he does not appear to have been knighted.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Sometime after 1352 he married Lucy, widow of Sir Thomas Huscarle and daughter and heiress of Sir Richard III Willoughby and his first wife Isabel Mortain. Children mentioned in his will were:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Nicholas, his heir.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Margaret, who married Sir Robert Turberville (died 1424), of Bere Regis in Dorset.

paragraph: Nasir-ad-Din Faraj (Urdu; Arabic; Persian: ; r. 1399–1411 CE) was born in 1386 and succeeded his father Sayf-ad-Din Barquq as the second Sultan of the Burji dynasty of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt in July 1399 with the title "Al-Nasir". He was only thirteen years old when he became Sultan on the sudden death of his father. His reign was marked by anarchy, pandemonium and chaos with invasions of Tamerlane (Timur Leng, or Timur Beg Gurkani), incessant rebellions in Cairo, endless conflicts with the Emirs of Syria (with the Sultan and also amongst themselves), along with plague and famine which reduced the population of the kingdom to one-third. During the end of his reign he became a tyrannical ruler which eventually led him into his seventh and final conflict with the Syrian Emirs at Baalbek. Defeated in battle he fled to the citadel of Damascus. Unable to escape, he surrendered and on May 23, 1411 he was stabbed to death in his prison cell by a hired assassin. The Emirs placed on the throne as a temporary measure Caliph Al-Musta'in Billah.

paragraph: Jacek Andrzej Rossakiewicz

paragraph: Jacek Andrzej Rossakiewicz (16 October 1956 – 24 September 2016) was a Polish painter, theoretician of art, philosopher and interior architect.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: His first paintings were created in the 1980s. The paintings were inspired by the Pure Form Theory of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy) and entrenched in the tradition of 20th century European art. Beginning in 1985, J.A.R. showed in his paintings the social and political context associated with the criticism of Martial law in Poland (Dec. 1980). The contemplation of the different functions of this art led to the artist's formulation of the theory Art as Freedom (1985). Mostly inspired by Witkacy's grasp of the visible universe, in which the composition introduced the intended and directional tension, led Rossakiewicz to one interpretation of reality. The continuation of this philosophy led him in 1987 to the manifestation of social problems in his art. The next chapter of his art, The Everlasting Art, - 1989 was directly inspired from readings of the Old and New Testament. After 1989, Rossakiewicz started to create a series of evangelical paintings: Passion of Dunkirk and Saint John Passion. The Passion of Dunkirk is in the collection at the Modern Art Museum in Dunkirk, France.

paragraph: He died 24 September 2016.

paragraph: Rossakiewicz about his art:

paragraph: "In my understanding, to express man's spiritual life is to create art. The subject of the painting doesn’t matter. But the art has to originate in the inside, it has to be a result of man's life experiences. It cannot be simply planned; how to shock, how to draw attention to one's self, it cannot be done for money either. Because the spiritual and emotional state of an artist while painting, or working on a different work of art, is encoded in the painting and this energy is emanating from it."

paragraph: Ragnhild of Tälje

paragraph: Ragnhild of Tälje (11th century – c. 1117), is a local saint whose veneration is attested in late medieval Sweden and whose name was particularly associated with the church in Södertälje in the province of Södermanland and the diocese of Strängnäs. According to tradition, she was also Queen, married to King Inge II of Sweden. A year given for her death is 1117.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Ragnhild is said to have founded the church of Södertälje and have her burial place there. If she is a historical person, she probably lived during the late 11th or early 12th century, but no sources that mention her can be dated earlier than the 15th century. An epitaph in the church, probably dating from that period, was later copied by the late 17th century antiquarian Elias Palmskiöld. In various 15th century literary sources, she is claimed to have been a queen, the daughter of a certain "Halsten" (it is uncertain whether the king Halsten Stenkilsson is intended) and queen of either Inge the Elder or Inge the Younger (either of which would for genealogical and chronological reasons contradict her being the daughter of king Halsten). 15th century wall-paintings depicting Ragnhild can be found in the churches of Börje and Viksta in Uppland, and Enånger in Hälsingland (all three in the archdiocese of Uppsala).

paragraph: The interest in Ragnhild (as in some other medieval local saints) was revived after the Protestant Reformation through the general interest in Swedish antiquities that flourished in 17th century Sweden. In her case, the publication of "Vitis aquilonia" by Johannes Vastovius in 1623 caused a re-interpretation of the human figure in the seal of the City of Södertälje as a depiction of Ragenilda.

paragraph: Marek Kotański

paragraph: Marek Kotański, (March 11, 1942 – August 19, 2002) was a Polish charity worker and campaigner on behalf of disadvantaged people, including the homeless and those with HIV. He died in a car accident in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, near Warsaw.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Kotański was a psychologist and a psychotherapist - he organized many projects to fight against social problems and helped alcoholics, drug addicts, people with HIV, ex-prisoners and homeless people. Among the organisations he created are Monar and Markot.

paragraph: Born in Warsaw during the Second World War, Marek Kotański's mother, Ludwika, was a painter. His father, Wiesław, was a Japanese language professor at Warsaw University. His house was open for everyone who needed help.

paragraph: Already in high school Kotański launched initiatives to help people in need. From 1960 he studied psychology at Warsaw University. During his studies, he was active in the Ruch Młodych Wychowawców (Movement of Young Educators) who looked after orphans and young people affected by social problems. After his studies, he worked as a therapist in the psychiatric hospital on Dolna Street in Warsaw. He cooperated with the Społeczny Komitet Przeciwdziałania Alkoholizmowi (Social Anti-Alcoholism Committee), and also was active in the Ruch Trzeźwość (Abstinence Movement).

paragraph: In 1974 Kotański was employed in the Psychiatric Hospital in Garwolin, which had a section for drug addicts (even though during that period, for ideological reasons, drug addicts did not exist). Knowing that traditional methods were not effective, he started a therapy group. This sort of therapy group came to be known as "społeczność" (community). He also started the healing system for drug addicts known as "Monar".

paragraph: The first Monar centre was opened on 15 October 1978 in Gloskow near Garwolin, starting in part of an abandoned house in ruins. Kotański started this program with a group or patients from the hospital in Garwolin. The results were better than expected. Now there are more than 157 Monar centres.

paragraph: He also organised settlements for people with HIV or ill with AIDS, starting another association Solidarni Plus (Solidarity Plus).

paragraph: From 1985-1994 Kotański organised the action "Łańcuch Czystych Serc" (Chain of Pure Hearts), where hundreds of thousands of young people joined hands in a chain stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Tatra mountains, symbolising unity for humanitarianism. He also organised many "Czystych Serc" concerts where thousands of people participated.

paragraph: In 1993 Kotański created Markot - Ruch Wychodzenia z Bezdomności (Movement Out of Homelessness), which involves about one hundred centres for homeless people, lone mothers with children, handicapped people, and the terminally ill.

paragraph: He also developed a help system for people coming out of prison, starting from 1994, without any financial help.

paragraph: Kotański received many prizes, including:

paragraph: Section::::Ancestor of the Taiyuan Wang.

paragraph: During the Tang dynasty the Li family of Zhaojun 赵郡李氏, the Cui family of Boling 博陵崔氏, the Cui family of Qinghe 清河崔氏, the Lu family of Fanyang 范陽盧氏, the Zheng family of Xingyang 荥阳郑氏, the Wang family of Taiyuan 太原王氏, and the Li family of Longxi 隴西李氏 were the seven noble families among whom marriage was banned by law. Moriya Mitsuo wrote a history of the Later Han-Tang period of the Taiyuan Wang. Among the strongest families was the Taiyuan Wang. The prohibition on marriage between the clans issued in 659 by the Gaozong Emperor was flouted by the seven families since a woman of the Boling Cui married a member of the Taiyuan Wang, giving birth to the poet Wang Wei. He was the son of Wang Chulian who in turn was the son of Wang Zhou. The marriages between the families were performed clandestinely after the prohibition was implemented on the seven families by Gaozong. The Zhou dynasty King Ling's son Prince Jin is assumed by most to be the ancestor of the Taiyuan Wang. The Longmen Wang were a cadet line of the Zhou dynasty descended Taiyuan Wang, and Wang Yan and his grandson Wang Tong hailed from this cadet line. Both Buddhist monks and scholars hailed from the Wang family of Taiyuan such as the monk Tanqian. The Wang family of Taiyuan included Wang Huan. Their status as "Seven Great surnames" became known during Gaozong's rule. The Taiyuan Wang family produced Wang Jun who served under Emperor Huai of Jin. A Fuzhou based section of the Taiyuan Wang produced the Buddhist monk Baizhang.

paragraph: William Spooner (don)

paragraph: William Archibald Spooner (22 July 1844 – 29 August 1930) was a long-serving Oxford don, notable for absent-mindedness, and supposedly liable to mix up the syllables in a spoken phrase, with unintentionally comic effect. Such phrases became known as spoonerisms, and are often used humorously. Many spoonerisms have been invented and attributed to Spooner.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Spooner was born at 17 Chapel Street, Grosvenor Place, London, SW1. He was educated at Oswestry School (where he was a contemporary of Frederick Gustavus Burnaby) and New College, Oxford, where he was the first non-Wykehamist to become an undergraduate. He was ordained deacon in the Church of England in 1872 and priest in 1875. He had five children: William Wycliffe, Frances Catherine, Rosemary, Ellen Maxwell, and Agnes Mary.

paragraph: Spooner remained at New College for more than sixty years, serving as fellow (1867), lecturer (1868), tutor (1869), dean (1876–1889) and warden (1903–1924). He lectured on ancient history, divinity and philosophy (especially on Aristotle's ethics).

paragraph: Spooner was well liked and respected, described as "an albino, small, with a pink face, poor eyesight, and a head too large for his body". It was said that "his reputation was that of a genial, kindly, hospitable man."

paragraph: In the opinion of Roy Harrod, Spooner exceeded all the heads of Oxford and Cambridge colleges he had known "having regard to his scholarship, devotion to duty, and wisdom."

paragraph: Spooner was buried in the cemetery at Grasmere in Cumbria.

paragraph: Section::::Spoonerisms.

paragraph: Spooner has become famous for his (real or alleged) "spoonerisms", plays on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched. Few, if any, of his own spoonerisms were deliberate, and many of those attributed to him are apocryphal. Spooner is said to have disliked the reputation gained for getting his words muddled.

paragraph: "The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations" (3rd edition, 1979) lists only one substantiated spoonerism: "The weight of rages will press hard upon the employer." In a 1930 interview, Spooner himself admitted to uttering "Kinkering Congs Their Titles Take" (Conquering Kings...) Spooner called this hymn out from the pulpit in 1879.

paragraph: Many other quotations, "probable and improbable, were invented" and attributed to Spooner, including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "It is kisstomary to cuss the bride" (...customary to kiss the bride)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "I am tired of addressing beery wenches" (weary benches)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Mardon me padam, this pie is occupewed. Can I sew you to another sheet?" (Pardon me, madam, this pew is occupied. Can I show you to another seat?)

paragraph: BULLET::::- "You have hissed all my mystery lectures, and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted two worms, you will leave by the next town drain" (You have missed all my history lectures, and were caught lighting a fire in the quad. Having wasted two terms, you will leave by the next down train)

paragraph: Spooner is supposed to have committed other absent-minded gaffes. He was said to have invited a don to tea, "to welcome Stanley Casson, our new archaeology Fellow". "But, sir," the man replied, "I "am" Stanley Casson". "Never mind," Spooner said, "Come all the same."

paragraph: On his death, "The Times" recorded that "He was not afraid of conversation."

paragraph: Leonard Nelson

paragraph: Leonard Nelson (July 11, 1882, Berlin – October 29, 1927, Göttingen) was a German mathematician, philosopher, and socialist. He was part of the neo-Friesian school of neo-Kantianism and a friend of the mathematician David Hilbert, and devised the Grelling–Nelson paradox and the related idea of autological words with Kurt Grelling.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: During his doctorate at Georg August University of Göttingen, Nelson was advised by Julius Baumann, and his dissertation was titled "Jakob Fries and his Youngest Critics" ("Jakob Friedrich Fries und seine jüngsten Kritiker"). He was critical of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel in his work, "Progress and Regress in Philosophy" ("Fortschritte und Rückschritte in der Philosophie"). He is also known for defending the idea of animal rights in his work "System of Ethics" ("System der philosophischen Ethik und Pädagogik"). Together with Minna Specht he was the founder of Internationaler Sozialistischer Kampfbund (ISK; "International Socialist Militant League").

paragraph: He was an insomniac and died young from pneumonia. The socialist journalist Willi Eichler succeeded Nelson as president of the ISK after his death. Eichler and Specht would both sign the "Urgent Call for Unity" ("Dringender Appell für die Einheit") in the ISK's official newspaper, "Der Funke". It called for Germany's Social Democratic Party Party and Communist Party to create a left-wing united front in order to thwart the Nazis. Nelson's ideas continued to have an impact upon German socialism and communism in Nazi Germany as the ISK's members became active in the left-wing resistance to Nazism.
