paragraph: Anas Aremeyaw Anas

paragraph: Anas Aremeyaw Anas, better known as Anas, is a Ghanaian investigative journalist born in the late 1970s. Anas's motto is "name, shame and jail", and he is famous for utilizing his anonymity as a tool in his investigative arsenal; very few people had seen his face until an "unmasking" during a BBC interview in November 2015 — and this was a prosthetic. A politically non-aligned multimedia journalist who specializes in print media and documentaries, Anas focuses on issues of human rights and anti-corruption in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa.

paragraph: Anas has won multiple awards for journalism and advocating against slavery, and his investigative works have won him worldwide attention. Barack Obama in a speech during a 2009 visit to Ghana said "An independent press. A vibrant private sector. A civil society. Those are the things that give life to democracy. [...] We see that spirit in courageous journalists like Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who risked his life to report the truth."

paragraph: In December 2015 Foreign Policy magazine named Anas one of 2015's leading global thinkers, and he has been invited to talk about his work at international conferences. In 2016 Anas had a "Best Journalist" award named after him by the Press Foundation in Ghana.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Anas is from Bimbilla in Northern Ghana and grew up in Burma Camp, a military barracks in Accra together with his two sisters. After attending Christian Methodist Senior High School in Accra, He attended the Ghana Institute of Journalism. After his degree, he turned down an opportunity to work as a reporter for the Ghanaian Times newspaper, instead choosing to join the "Crusading Guide" newspaper in 1998, under editor Kweku Baako Jnr.

paragraph: Section::::Notable investigative works.

paragraph: Two of his most recent and influential works are:

paragraph: Ghana in the Eyes of God. In 2015, Anas's investigation into the judiciary of the republic of Ghana resulted in the removal from office of workers from the third arm of government including 13 high court judges, 20 lower court judges and 19 Judicial Service court registrars and interpreters. Over 100 judicial service staff in total were probed, after being caught on camera taking gifts from undercover Tiger Eye PI investigators to influence court judgements.

paragraph: Number 12. On the 6th May 2018 Anas released "Number 12", so named because corruption was the "12th player on the football team". This exposé implicated almost the entire football administration in Ghana, and resulted in the President of Ghana dismantling the Ghana Football Association. The then Ghana Football Association president, Kwesi Nyantakyi, who was also an executive member of Fifa, was filmed by Anas accepting a bribe and forced to resign. All football matches in the country were called off after the Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) met on June 8, 2018, and dissolved the Referees Committee, deciding that all officials mentioned in the exposé should step aside.

paragraph: International referees were also involved, such as Kenyan FIFA referee Marwa Range. He was filmed receiving US$600 before a previous game from Anas's investigative team posing as top Ghanaian football executives, leading to Marwa's withdrawal from the World Cup.

paragraph: A week before the 2018 FIFA World Cup was due to start, the BBC released the documentary. In the weeks following, other figures such as Super Eagles Coach Salisu Yusuf were found to be involved in the scandal.

paragraph: Section::::Methods and response.

paragraph: Anas uses undercover journalism to "Name, shame and jail." The Ghana Journalists Association condones Anas's methodology according to their code of ethics rule book, stating that "a journalist [may] obtain[s] information, videos, data, photographs and illustrations only by honest, straightforward, fair and open means—unless otherwise tampered by public interest considerations". Anas believes drastic measures need to be taken to tackle the level of corruption in Ghana. The National Media Commission of Ghana hold that "there’s nothing wrong with Anas’ method". Ghana law permits undercover journalism.

paragraph: Notable personalities (in alphabetical order) who have commented on his work:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Abdul-Malik Kwaku Baako - Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako supports the "techniques used by... Anas." He stated that “Anas does undercover journalism, if they don’t know, it is accepted universally. It comes with challenges, ethical as well as moral”.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Jerry John Rawlings - In reacting to Anas's critics, former president Rawlings said that "Anas should be hailed and not treated like an outcast". About the backlash from sections of the Ghanaian public concerning Anas's method, Rawlings added that "When we had the chance, we made an outcast of our own allowing our rivals to recognize the true worth and offer him such a sensitive national anti-corruption role. What does that make of us?"

paragraph: BULLET::::- John Atta Mills - In 2015 it emerged that at least one of Anas's investigations was commissioned by the government of Ghana. Notably, "The President's Assignment"; an exposé from 2012 that unearthed corruption incidences at the Electricity Company of Ghana, was commissioned by the Professor Evans Mills, suggesting that the late president condoned Anas's modus operandi. Earlier in 2011, president Mills reprimanded security agencies during a surprise visit to the Customs Excise and Preventive Service following a corruption exposé involving customs officers, stating that, "I wish that the revelation from Anas could have come to me from the security agencies who work here. There are people who come here throwing their weight around. I have told General Modey that anyone who comes here in the President's name, the first thing you should do is to arrest them. I am not going to be party to anything which will destroy what we are building in this country".

paragraph: BULLET::::- Kofi Annan - Appearing in a promotional video leading to the public premiering of the Ghana Football Association cash gift scandal, the former United Nations secretary general said that “Sometimes it takes a spark, just a spark and I think Anas has provided that spark for the whole edifice to blow up for people to wake up and say: ‘No more’”.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Kennedy Agyapong - According to the Assin Central MP, who has repeatedly threatened Anas, as reported by the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders he stated that Anas's methods were 'unfair'. Following these and other allegations Anas responded "I've never in my life taken a bribe... Nowhere! Whoever has a proof should bring it. It will crash. I know myself and I believe in myself. I know I’ve never taken bribe from anywhere... Some people are just blowing hot air”

paragraph: BULLET::::- Mahamudu Bawumia - In defending the methodology of Anas, vice president of Ghana Dr. Bawumia said that "what Anas is doing is very relevant...people should know that what they do in the dark can be exposed...Really, I will encourage him to do what he does".

paragraph: Section::::Other works.

paragraph: From October to December 2016, Anas ventured outside of the world of investigative journalism as an advocate for peace in his "Anas4Peace" multimedia campaign. These films, jingles and interactive social media posts brought together 22 non-aligned Ghanaian celebrities to advocate for peace during the election period. The #IAmAnas movement celebrating Anas's anonymity has also attracted media attention. In October 2018, Anas launched an online platform for members of the public to upload videos reporting corruption.

paragraph: Crates of Thebes

paragraph: Crates (; c. 365 – c. 285 BC) of Thebes was a Cynic philosopher. Crates gave away his money to live a life of poverty on the streets of Athens. He married Hipparchia of Maroneia who lived in the same manner that he did. Respected by the people of Athens, he is remembered for being the teacher of Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism. Various fragments of Crates' teachings survive, including his description of the ideal Cynic state.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Crates was born c. 365 BC in Thebes. He was the son of Ascondus, and was the heir to a large fortune, which he is said to have renounced to live a life of Cynic poverty in Athens. Diogenes Laërtius preserves several different accounts of this story; one of them has Crates giving his money away to the citizens of Thebes, apparently after seeing the beggar king Telephus in a tragedy; whereas another account has him placing his money in the hands of a banker, with the agreement that he should deliver it to his sons, unless they too became philosophers, in which case he should distribute it among the poor.

paragraph: He moved to Athens where tradition says he became a pupil of Diogenes of Sinope; the precise relationship between Crates and Diogenes is uncertain, but there is one apparent reference to Crates referring to himself as "a fellow-citizen of Diogenes, who defied all the plots of envy". Crates is also described as being the student of Bryson the Achaean, and of Stilpo. He lived a life of cheerful simplicity, and Plutarch, who wrote a detailed biography of Crates which unfortunately does not survive, records what sort of man Crates was:

paragraph: He is said to have been deformed with a lame leg and hunched shoulders. He was nicknamed the Door-Opener () because he would enter any house and people would receive him gladly and with honour:

paragraph: He attracted the attentions of Hipparchia of Maroneia, the sister of one of Crates' students, Metrocles. Hipparchia is said to have fallen in love with Crates and with his life and teachings, and thus rejecting her wealthy upbringing in a manner similar to Crates, she married him. The marriage was remarkable (for ancient Athens) for being based on mutual respect and equality between the couple. Stories about Hipparchia appearing in public everywhere with Crates are mentioned precisely because respectable women did not behave in that way. They had at least two children, a girl, and a boy named Pasicles. We learn that Crates is supposed to have initiated his son into sex by taking him to a brothel, and he allowed his daughter a month's trial marriage to potential suitors.

paragraph: He was the teacher of Zeno of Citium in the last years of the century, and was undoubtedly the biggest influence on Zeno in his development of Stoic philosophy. Zeno always regarded Crates with the greatest respect, and some of the accounts we have of Crates have probably come down to us via Zeno's writings. His other pupils included Metrocles, Monimus, Menippus, Cleomenes, Theombrotus, and Crates' brother Pasicles. He may also have taught Cleanthes, Zeno's successor as head of the Stoic school.

paragraph: Crates was, apparently, in Thebes in 307 BC, when Demetrius Phalereus was exiled there. He is said to have died at a great age (c. 285 BC), and was buried in Boeotia.

paragraph: Section::::Philosophy.

paragraph: Crates wrote a book of letters on philosophical subjects, the style of which is compared by Diogenes Laërtius to that of Plato; but these no longer survive. There are 36 surviving "Cynic epistles" attributed to Crates, but these are later, 1st-century, compositions. Crates was also the author of some philosophical tragedies, and some smaller poems apparently called "Games" (, "Paignia").

paragraph: Several fragments of his thought survive. He taught a simple asceticism, which seems to have been milder than that of his predecessor Diogenes:

paragraph: His philosophy was infused with a gentle, rich humour. He urged people not to prefer anything but lentils in their meals, because luxury and extravagance were the chief causes of seditions and insurrections in a city. This jest would later be the cause of much satire, as in book 4 of Athenaeus' "Deipnosophistae" where a group of Cynics sit down for a meal and are served course after course of lentil soup.

paragraph: One of his poems parodied a famous hymn to the Muses written by Solon. But whereas Solon wished for prosperity, reputation, and "justly acquired possessions," Crates had typically Cynic desires:

paragraph: There are also several fragments surviving of a poem Crates wrote describing the ideal Cynic state which begins by parodying Homer's description of Crete. Crates' city is called "Pera", which in Greek refers to the beggar's wallet which every Cynic carried:

paragraph: The word "tuphos" () in the first line, is one of the first known Cynic uses of a word which literally means mist or smoke. It was used by the Cynics to describe the mental confusion which most people are wrapped-up in. The Cynics sought to clear away this fog and to see the world as it really is.

paragraph: Section::::Later cultural references.

paragraph: The relationship between Crates and Hipparchia became the subject of a number of fictional accounts, such as the play "Spozalizio d' Ipparchia filosofa", written by Italian nun Clemenza Ninci in the 17th century, or Christoph Martin Wieland's novel "Krates und Hipparchia" (1804). A fictional biography of Crates was written by French author Marcel Schwob in his 1896 work "Vies imaginaires".

paragraph: Stephen, Count of Blois

paragraph: Stephen II Henry (in French, "Étienne Henri", in Medieval French, "Estienne Henri"; – 19 May 1102), Count of Blois and Count of Chartres, was the son of Theobald III, count of Blois, and Gersent of Le Mans. He is numbered Stephen II after Stephen I, Count of Troyes.

paragraph: In 1089, upon the death of his father, he became the Count of Blois and Chartres, although Theobald had given him the administration of those holdings in 1074. He was the father of Stephen of England.

paragraph: Count Stephen was one of the leaders of the First Crusade, leading one of the major armies of the Princes and often writing enthusiastic letters to his wife Adela of Normandy about the crusade's progress. Stephen was the head of the army council at the Crusaders' siege of Nicaea in 1097. He returned home in 1098 during the lengthy siege of Antioch, fleeing the battlefield, without having fulfilled his crusading vow to forge a way to Jerusalem. He was pressured by Adela into making a second pilgrimage, and joined the minor crusade of 1101 in the company of others who had also returned home prematurely. In 1102, Stephen was killed at the Second Battle of Ramla at the age of fifty-seven.

paragraph: Vímara Peres

paragraph: Vímara Peres (Vímara Pérez in Spanish; died in Galicia, 873) was a ninth-century nobleman from the Kingdom of Asturias and the first ruler of the County of Portugal.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

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

paragraph: His father, Pedro Theón (d. after 867), sometimes called Pedro Theón of Pravia, and possibly the son of Bermudo I of Asturias, was a member of the Curia Regis of King Alfonso III and appears in January 867 confirming a royal charter jointly with other nobles, including Count Rodrigo of Castile. Pedro was actively involved in the Reconquista and was also responsible for ousting and defeating the Vikings when they invaded Galicia in 858. Besides Vímara, Pedro was also the father of Hermenegildo Pérez..

paragraph: Vímara was born around 820

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Count.

paragraph: Vímara was a vassal of the King of Asturias, Alfonso III, and was sent to reconquer and secure from the Moors (Arabs and Berbers who had invaded Visigothic Hispania), in the west coastal fringe of Gallaecia, the area from the Minho River to the Douro River, including the city of "Portus Cale", later Porto and Gaia, from where the name of Portugal emerged.

paragraph: The Kingdom of Asturias was divided internally into several counties or royal provinces. Portus Cale was one of these asturian counties. In 868, Vímara Peres was named Count of Portugal by King Alfonso III after the reconquest of the region north of the Douro river. Later Portuguese historians viewed this event as the earliest milestone in the history of the state of Portugal, although Portugal did not achieve independence until the 12th century.

paragraph: He was able to expel the Moors and founded a fortified town under his own name "Vimaranis" (of Vimar) which later became "Guimaranis", present day Guimarães (the Portuguese call it "The Cradle City"). Vímara Peres died in 873 in the territory of A Coruña.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Issue.

paragraph: Although the identity of his wife is not recorded in any contemporary charters, her name could have been Trudildi. If that was the case, Vímara would have been the father of:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Audivia Vimaranes who was married to Count Gutierre Aloítez.

paragraph: Despite the lack of documentary proof, most historians agree that he was the father of:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Lucídio Vimaranes (Lucídio, son of Vímara), who succeeded Vímara as the governor of the county.

paragraph: Yaakov Yitzchak of Lublin

paragraph: Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak HaLevi Horowitz (), known as "the Seer of Lublin" (), "ha-Chozeh MiLublin"; c. 1745 - August 15, 1815) was a Hasidic rebbe from Poland.

paragraph: A leading figure in the early Hasidic movement, he became known as the "seer" or "visionary" due to his purported ability to gaze across great distance by supernatural means. He was a disciple of the Maggid of Mezritch. He continued his studies under Rabbi Shmelke of Nilkolsburg and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk. He lived for a while in Lantzut before moving to Lublin.

paragraph: After Yaakov Yitzchak moved to Lublin, thousands of Hasidim flocked to learn from him. Among his disciples were such Hasidic luminaries as rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Rabinowicz (the Yid Hakodesh, "The Holy Jew"), Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa, Rabbi Meir of Apta, Rabbi David of Lelov, the "Yismach Moshe", Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech of Dinov, Rabbi Naftali Zvi of Ropshitz, the "Ma'or Vashemesh", and "Sar Shalom" of Belz. The Seer of Lublin also gained a reputation as a miracle-worker who could accomplish the tikkun, or repair of the soul, of those who sought his assistance and guidance. During his stay in Lublin, Yaakov Yitzchak was opposed by a prominent rabbi, Rabbi Ezriel Horowitz.

paragraph: Yaakov Yitzchak was a descendant of Isaiah Horowitz (Hebrew: ישעיה הלוי הורוביץ), also known as the Shelah ha-Kadosh (Hebrew: של"ה הקדוש), a prominent rabbi and mystic, and his maternal grandfather, Rabbi Yaakov Koppel Likover, also a prominent rabbi, a scholar, and a contemporary of the Ba'al Shem Tov.

paragraph: He was injured in a fall from a window on Simchat Torah night, following the ritual Hakafos dancing, and died almost a year later on Tisha B'av from injuries relating to this fall. He is buried in the Old Jewish Cemetery, Lublin.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: His writings are contained in four books:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Divrei Emet"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Zot Zikaron"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Zikaron Zot"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Zikaron Tov"

paragraph: In a compilation of these works, entitled "Torat HaChozeh MiLublin", his commentaries are arranged alphabetically according to topics and according to the weekly Torah portion.

paragraph: Empress Zheng (Song dynasty)

paragraph: Empress Zheng (1079–1131) was the empress of Emperor Huizong of Song.

paragraph: Section::::Imperial life.

paragraph: Zheng was born to a member of the gentry in Kaifeng. She served as a lady-in-waiting to Empress Xiang, who was the official mother of the future Emperor Huizong of Song. When Huizong was still only a prince, he lived outside the imperial palace and would often visit the empress, who instructed Zheng and another one of her ladies to wait upon him. In 1099, Empress Xiang arranged for him to marry Lady Wang. As a wedding present, Empress Xiang presented Zheng and the other lady-in-waiting, also called Wang, to him as concubines.

paragraph: In 1100, Huizong succeeded his brother as emperor. Huizong was not close to his primary wife, Empress Wang and Zheng competed with Consort Wang for his favour. Zheng was apparently studious and adept at music.

paragraph: Huizong had many additional favourites, including consorts Wei and Quai, several maids of Consort Zheng, and Consort Liu Mingda. However, Zheng is not described as having been jealous of them. Zheng was described as a beauty, a skillful dancer and singer, with an ability to amuse and flatter the emperor. In 1102, Huizong granted Zheng the rank of Virtuous Consort.

paragraph: In 1110, two years after the death of Empress Wang, Huizong appointed Zheng to the position of empress. Her elevation was somewhat controversial, as empresses were generally members of military or official families, not former servants. The influence of Empress Zheng was also resented.

paragraph: Section::::Exile.

paragraph: Emperor Huizong abdicated in favor of his son Emperor Qinzong in 1126. In 1127, the capital of Kaifeng was captured by the Jurchen during the Jin–Song Wars. Emperor Qinzong was deposed, and he was captured and exiled to Manchuria, along with Emperor Huizong and most of the imperial court, in what is now called the Jingkang Incident. The consorts, concubines and palace women who were captured were distributed among the Jurchen men.

paragraph: The Jurchen defined five of Huizong's consorts as wives, among them Empress Zheng, which meant that they accompanied him into exile. Patricia Buckley Ebrey states that Empress Zheng would have been too old at this point to have been considered a good war prize for the Jurchen.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Empress Zheng died in 1131 in Wuguo, Heilongjiang, where the Jurchen held the exiled members of the imperial clan.

paragraph: When Emperor Gaozong was eventually told of the death of Huizong and Empress Zheng in 1137, he reportedly reacted quite severely, ordering an extended period of mourning.

paragraph: Empress Wu (Song dynasty)

paragraph: Empress Wu (18 September 1115 – 19 December 1197) was a Chinese Empress consort of the Song Dynasty, married to Emperor Gaozong of Song. She played an influential part in politics of the Southern Song dynasty, having caused the abdication of three monarchs: Emperor Gaozong in 1162, Emperor Xiaozong in 1189, and Emperor Guangzong in 1194.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Wu was the daughter of Wu Jin, a commoner in Kaifeng. At the age of fourteen, she was selected as a palace maid to Gaozong, then a Prince, and his first spouse and primary consort Xing, who had recently married.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Fall of Kaifeng.

paragraph: In 1126, Emperor Huizong abdicated in favor of his son, Emperor Qinzong, the elder brother of Gaozong. In 1127, the capital of Kaifeng was captured by the Jurchen during the Jin–Song Wars. The Emperor Qinzong was deposed, and him, as well as his predecessor Emperor Huizong and most of the Imperial family and court, over 3000 people, was captured and exiled to Manchuria in what was called the Jingkang Incident. They were first taken to the Jurchen capital, many of them dying on the way. The Imperial consorts, concubines, palace women and eunuchs who were taken captured, were distributed among the Jurchen as slaves. Consort Xing, the primary spouse of Gaozong, were among those captured and taken away: nothing more is known of her except that she was coveted by her captors, that she attempted suicide to escape abuse but failed, and that she died in captivity in 1139.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Southern Song.

paragraph: Gaozong himself, as well as Wu, avoided capture because they were absent from the capital when it fell. Gaozong then organized the resistance against further Jurchen invasion, declaring himself Emperor in late 1127 and establishing the Southern Song dynasty. Knowing his primary consort Xing was still alive in captivity, he declared her to be Empress in absentia. Wu followed him on his military campaigns against Jin dressed in armor, and reportedly saved his life on one occasion when they were attacked by thugs, shooting one to death with an arrow, and frightening the rest away.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Empress.

paragraph: Having no surviving sons of his own, he adopted two boys in 1133: one of them became the foster son of Wu in 1140, and the other one (future Emperor Xiaozong) in 1142. Emperor Gaozong kept the position of Empress vacant because he did not know whether Consort Xing was still alive or not: when she died in 1139, the Jurchen kept her death a secret, and it was not until his mother, Consort Wei, was released and allowed to join him, that he learned that she was dead. Her remains was returned to be buried the same year. It was not until 1143 that Gaozong was persuaded by his mother and his ministers to appoint a new Empress, and he promoted Consort Wu to the position.

paragraph: Empress Wu was praised by both her husband and her foster son Emperor Xiaozong for tolerating the large number of concubines and consorts Gaozong took without complaints. In reality, however, she actually had a large number of them dismissed.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Later life.

paragraph: In 1162, Empress Wu persuaded Emperor Gaozong to abdicate in favor of Emperor Xiaozong. She then became Empress Dowager Wu. In 1189, the Crown Prince asked her to persuade Emperor Xiaozong to abdicate in his favor, which she did. Upon the succession of Emperor Guangzong in 1189, it was actually suggested that she would act as his regent, because of his bad health. In reality, it was the Emperor's consort, Empress Li Fengniang, who ruled during the reign of Emperor Guangzong. In 1194, Empress Dowager Wu was persuaded to force Emperor Guangzong to abdicate in favor of Emperor Ningzong of Song.

paragraph: She died in 1197.

paragraph: Empress Li Fengniang

paragraph: Empress Li Fengniang (1144 – 23 July 1200) was a Chinese Empress consort of the Song Dynasty, married to Emperor Guangzong of Song. She is known as the "de facto" ruler of the Song dynasty Empire during the reign of her spouse.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Empress Li was born as "Fengniang", daughter of general Li Dao, a military commissioner from Anyang. According to legend, a Daoist priest and matchmaker one day predicted that she was destined to be the mother of the people. After having made the prediction, the priest asked for an audience with the emperor, and successfully negotiated for her to be accepted as consort of the emperor's grandson Zhao Dun, the future Emperor Guangzong.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Marriage.

paragraph: Li was accepted as the consort of Prince Dun, and became Crown Princess when her spouse was elevated to the position of heir to the throne in 1170. Crown Princess Li was described as dominant and independent minded. She complained of the concubines of her husband to the retired Emperor Gaozong as well as to her father-in-law Emperor Xiaozong who became displeased with her and asked her to act in a more submissive way, such as the Empress Dowager Wu. Li refused to submit, however, and there are several stories illustrating how she came to dominate her husband.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Empress.

paragraph: In 1189, her spouse succeeded to the throne as Emperor Guangzong of Song. Empress Li Fengniang became notorious in Chinese history for being ruthless and shrewd, and for ruling the state through her husband, who became known a "henpecked weakling" dominated by his wife. During his reign, it was the Empress who "de facto" ruled the Song Empire. There is a legend to how this occurred. In 1191, Empress Li allegedly had the emperor's favorite concubine consort Huang killed, which caused the Emperor to react so badly that he became sick and bedridden, leaving the empress to handle the affairs of state by herself. Empress Li reportedly attempted to keep the emperor and his father separate, and often stopped the emperor from seeing his father. On one occasion, at the sickbed of the emperor, her father-in-law threatened to have her executed for not taking proper care of the monarch. When her spouse recovered, she told him about the threat, and also that she suspected that the medicine his father had left him was poisoned. This is given as the reason to why Emperor Guangzong did not visit his own father's funeral in 1194, which was blamed on Empress Li and led the Empress Dowager Wu to force Guangzong to abdicate.

paragraph: After the abdication of her spouse, she was called "The Empress of the Retired Emperor". In 1197, she caused a last scandal by refusing to attend the funeral of Empress Dowager Wu.

paragraph: Édouard Lantéri

paragraph: Édouard Lantéri (1 November 1848 – 22 December 1917) was a French-born British sculptor and medallist whose romantic French style of sculpting was seen as influential among exponents of New Sculpture. His name is also frequently spelled without accents as Edouard Lanteri and his first name sometimes given in its English form as Edward.

paragraph: Section::::Life history.

paragraph: Lantéri was born in Auxerre, France but later took British nationality. He studied art in the studios of François-Joseph Duret and Aimé Millet and at the school of fine arts under Jean-Baptiste Claude Eugène Guillaume and Pierre-Jules Cavelier. A period of poverty led him to becoming a cabinetmaker, but in 1872, at the age of 24, on the recommendation of fellow sculptor Jules Dalou, he moved to London to work as a studio assistant to Joseph Edgar Boehm. He stayed at the studio until 1890 and influenced Boehm's pupil Alfred Gilbert.

paragraph: Lantéri's sculptures were mainly modelled in clay before being cast in bronze, though he would also work in stone. He produced portrait busts, statuettes and life size statues.

paragraph: As of 1880 he taught at the National Art Training School in South Kensington (later renamed the Royal College of Art) and in 1900 became the College's first Professor of Modelling (1900–10); in this role he was involved with the architectural and decorative sculpture for Sir Aston Webb's Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

paragraph: Section::::Written works.

paragraph: Towards the end of Lantéri's life he wrote a series of three books, explaining the art of human and animal composition in sculpture. First released as a collection of three books, they are now commonly found as two, with the animal sculpture separate from the human form. These books are still common required texts for many sculpture courses. The foreword to the original book was by friend and fellow sculptor Auguste Rodin who refers to Lantéri as "Dear Master"

paragraph: Antoine Claire Thibaudeau

paragraph: Antoine Claire, Comte Thibaudeau (23 March 17658 March 1854) was a French politician.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: He was the son of Antoine de Thibaudeau (1739–1813), who was a lawyer of Poitiers and a deputy to the Estates-General of 1789. He was admitted to the bar in 1787, and in 1789 accompanied his father to the Estates-General at Versailles. When he returned to Poitiers in October he immediately set up a local revolutionary club, and in 1792 was returned as a deputy to the National Convention.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Thibaudeau joined the party of the Mountain and voted for the death of Louis XVI unconditionally. Nevertheless, he incurred a certain amount of suspicion because he declined to join the Jacobin Club. In May 1793 he was on a special mission in the west and prevented his "département" from joining the Federalist movement. Thibaudeau occupied himself more particularly with educational business, notably in the organization of the museum of the Louvre. It was he who secured the inclusion of Tom Paine's name in the amnesty of Girondist deputies.

paragraph: Secretary and then president of the Convention for a short period, he served on the Committee of Public Safety and of General Security. After the royalist insurrection of 13 Vendémiaire (5 October 1795) he opposed those Thermidorians who wished to postpone the dissolution of the Convention. At the elections for the "Corps Législatif" he was elected by no less than thirty-two "départements". It was only by the intervention of Boulay de la Meurthe that he escaped transportation after the "coup d'etat" of 18 Fructidor (4 September 1797), and he then returned to the practice of his profession.

paragraph: The establishment of the Consulate brought him back to public life. He was made prefect of the Gironde, and then member of the council of state, in which capacity he worked on the civil code. He at this time had Napoleon's confidence, and gave him wholehearted support. He did not entirely conceal his disapproval of the foundation of the Légion d'Honneur, of the Concordat and of Napoleon's acceptance of the Consulate for life, and his appointment as prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhône, with consequent banishment from Paris, was a semi-disgrace.

paragraph: Section::::Exile.

paragraph: A peer of the Hundred Days, he fled at the second Restoration to Lausanne. During his exile he lived in Vienna, Prague, Augsburg and Brussels, occupying himself with his "Mémoires sur la Convention et le Directoire" (Paris, 2 vols., 1824); "Mémoires sur le Consulat: par un ancien conseiller d'état" (Paris, 1827); "Histoire générale de Napoléon Bonaparte" (6 vols., Paris and Stuttgart, 1827–28, vol. iii. not printed); "Le Consulat et l'Empire", vol. i. of which is identical with vol. vi. of the "Histoire de Napoléon" (10 vols., 1834). The revolution of 1830 permitted his return to France, and he lived to become a member of the Imperial Senate under the Second Empire.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: He died in Paris on 8 March 1854 in his eighty-ninth year.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: The special value of Thibaudeau's works arises from the fact that he wrote only of those events of which he had personal knowledge, and that he quotes with great accuracy Napoleon's actual words. His "Mémoires sur le Consulat" has been translated into English, with introduction and necessary notes, by G. K. Fortescue with the title of "Bonaparte and the Consulate" (1908). Among the papers left by Thibaudeau were documents entitled "Ma Biographie" and "Mémoires avant ma nomination à la Convention". These were published in a small volume (Paris and Niort, 1875) which includes a list of his works and of the narrative of his life.

paragraph: Annina Roescheisen

paragraph: Annina Roescheisen is a German-Slovenian multi-media artist that resides and works between Munich and New York City.

paragraph: With a strong artistic heritage as the granddaughter of German artist Ernst Moritz Geyger (1861-1941), Roescheisen graduated from the Elite University of Ludwig Maximilian, Munich, Annina Roescheisen has a Masters in History of Art, and political Philosophy and Folklore.

paragraph: In 2015, her exhibition "What Are You Fishing For" was displayed at the Palazzo Bembo as part of the 56th Venice Biennale and was nominated for the Aesthetica Art Prize. The series was also displayed at the Elliot Levenglick Gallery in New York City..

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

paragraph: Born in Germany in 1982 to a German father and Slovenian mother, Roescheisen spent her childhood in Munich. She received her master's degree in History of Art, Philosophy and Folklore from the Ludwig Maximillian University of Munich.

paragraph: In 2006, Roescheisen began working at Sotheby's in Munich. In 2008, she moved to Paris and in 2015 to New York.

paragraph: In 2012, Roescheisen began making her own art, using photography, video, sculpture, installation and other mediums. Roescheisen opened two exhibitions in Paris in 2013. In 2015, her exhibition "What Are You Fishing For" was displayed at the Palazzo Bembo as part of the 56th Venice Biennale. Roescheisen was awarded the BORN Art Award for her "A Love Story" exhibition in 2015.

paragraph: Since 2012 she is performing in”Systema Occam” by French contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan. This performance was shown at the MAMO/ Le Corbusier in Marseille, the Delacroix Museum in Paris, the Hermès Foundation in Paris, and the French Alliance Institute in New York, to name a few.

paragraph: In their 2015 review of her series, “What are You Fishing For”, Wall Street International emphasised that “Her “holistic” approach to art allows for a broad spectrum of activities and has seen the artist become an active participator in the human rights field and a collaborator with fellow artists.”

paragraph: In 2016, Time Out New York named her as one of the top 10 emerging artists to follow.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic themes.

paragraph: Roescheisen is a pluri disciplinary artis. Her work includes video, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, performance art, and documentary.

paragraph: Roescheisen’s multimedia works are held together by underlying concepts such as iconography, poetry, literature, Medieval art, German Romanticism, Gothic architecture, the fairytale, the inspection of dream and reality, and the visible and invisible world. But above all her work deals with the observation, reflection and investigation of humans and their emotions.

paragraph: Throughout her artistic practice a constant interplay between dream and reality takes place. The medium of video is used to further explore this relationship where it is considered ‘painting in motion and emotion’. The videos are slow and deliberate, the music compositions shaped to form a new level of interpretation, encouraging the viewer to exist outside time constraints, constrictions and pressures. Her work shifts between childhood and adulthood, shedding light on human existence in all its forms.

paragraph: Section::::Philanthropy.

paragraph: In the context of Roescheisen’s social and philanthropic engagements she collaborates with institutions worldwide such as the United Nations Foundation and the BWM Foundation. She was invited to numerous public talks including the World Economic Forum (Davos), Global Table (Bogota & Berlin), and Summit of Peace (Bogotá), to speak and share the impact and importance of art from an interdisciplinary approach. She believes art can be used to ensure and engage in collaborations with governments, institutions, NGOs, as well as locally with universities and individuals to promote an agenda of sustainability, social welfare, and human rights.

paragraph: In 2013, Roescheisen served as the "godmother" of the Ninoo Association for Autistic Children. In 2016, Roescheisen began working on the project "The Exit Fairytale of Suicide" to raise suicide awareness in collaboration with the German organization Freunde fürs Leben.

paragraph: Marume Nagayoshi

paragraph: Marume Nagayoshi (丸目 長恵, 1540–1629) was a retainer of the Sagara Clan in the Sengoku period and a swordsman in the early Edo period. He was considered one of the best four pupils of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, and went on to found the Taisharyū school. He was sometimes known as Kurandonosuke and also as Ishimi Mamoru, but was best known as Marume Nagayoshi, which he was called in kōdan. His original name was Fujiwara, and his art name was Tessai. In his later years he shaved his head and went by the name of Ishimi Nyūdō Tessai.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Marume was born in 1540 in Yatsushiro District, Higo Province (modern-day Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture), which was at the time a domain of the Sagara clan. His father was Marume Yozaemon and it is said that his mother was a woman from Akaike Izu. When the Satsuma army attacked Ōhata in 1555, he fought alongside his father, earning recognition for his military prowess in his first battle. They both received the name "Marume", their former one said to have been "Yamamoto".

paragraph: In 1556, he underwent military training by Amakusa Izu Mamoru, the lord of Amakusa Province and Hondo Castle.

paragraph: He went to Kyoto in 1558, studying fencing under Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, the founder of Shinkage-ryū. Later on, when the Muromachi "shōgun", Ashikaga Yoshiteru, saw a fencing performance by Kamiizumi with which Marume assisted, Yoshiteru gave them both a letter of commendation. They gave the same demonstration to Emperor Ōgimachi, and so the Honchō bugei shōden records Nagayoshi as being a warrior of the north side of the imperial court, although it has not been confirmed as to whether he actually was in imperial service.

paragraph: Returning to his home town, Nagayoshi taught the Shinkage-ryū style for the Sagara clan. In 1566, he once again went to Kyoto taking along his students Marume Jusai, Marume Kihē and Kino Kurōzaemon, but Kamiizumi was visiting his native Kōzuke Province at the time. Nagayoshi put up notices at Mount Atago, Seigan-ji temple and Kiyomizu-dera temple. They challenged martial artists and passersby to a real sword fight with swordsman from the best style in all the land, but nobody came forward and Nagayoshi returned home without taking having a duel. In 1567, Kamiizumi, who had learnt of what happened in Kyoto, awarded him (under the name Kamiizumi Isenokami Nobutsuna) a menkyo kaiden that recognised Nagayoshi as 'master of the killing sword' and 'master of the life-saving sword'.

paragraph: Once again returning home, Nagayoshi performed government service for the Sagara clan, but when Shimazu Iehisa of the Shimazu clan attacked Ōkuchi Castle, the Sagara clan, for whom Nagayoshi was choosing strategy, were defeated. Many officers and soldiers were killed, and Ōkuchi Castle was taken. After this defeat, Sagara placed the blame on Nagayoshi's shoulders, sentencing him to the severe punishment of "hissoku", a kind of house arrest. His dreams of becoming a military commander effectively ended.

paragraph: Following this, Nagayoshi focussed exclusively on swordsmanship. He defeated different schools across Kyushu, and when Kamiizumi learnt of this he entrusted Nagayoshi as the teacher of Shinkage-ryū in western Japan. Nagayoshi once again travelled to Kyoto along with his students to study Kamiizumi's newly developed techniques, but upon their arrival he had already died. It is said that a dejected Nagayoshi returned home and, after several years of training night and day, he opened his 'Taisharyū' school.

paragraph: The Sagara, who had already surrendered to the Shimazu, now only controlled Kuma District in Higo Province and had also sworn allegiance to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In 1587, the disfavour towards Nagayoshi had eased, and he once more began to serve under the Sagara clan, being paid 117 koku as an initial salary to teach his Taisharyū style.

paragraph: Taisharyū spread throughout Kyushu, and not only amongst members of the Sagara clan, but also many members of other clans. Among them were the military commanders Kamachi Akihiro and Tachibana Muneshige, with secret techniques being passed on to the former.

paragraph: In his later years, Nagayoshi assumed the art name 'Tessai', and it is said he spent his life reclusively, whilst pursuing the cultivation of Kiriharano (in Nishiki). Nagayoshi had ability not only in kenjutsu, but also sōjutsu, naginatajutsu, equestrianism, shuriken and ninjutsu. It is also said that Nagayoshi was a man of culture who excelled in things like calligraphy, waka, dancing and the flute.

paragraph: He died in 1629. His grave is in Kiriharano Dōzan, Nishiki, Kuma District, Kumamoto.

paragraph: Osman Fazli

paragraph: Osman Fazli (Turkish: Atpazarı Osman Fazlı-ilahi or Kutb Osman Fazlı), was a Jelveti Sufi spiritual guide in 17th-century Ottoman Empire. He spent c.25 years teaching and preaching, and became head Sheikh of the order in Istanbul and led the studies, conversation, meditation, and dhikr. But when he was about 48 it was revealed to him that the Ottoman Empire would fall into ruin, and, although he was of reclusive temperament, felt the only way to care for its population was to be at the Sultan's court. There he was outspoken against many of the Grand Vizier's plans: that they would bring disaster and misfortune, and he was proven right. He spent some years at court but when he declared one Grand Vizier's plan as against the sharia and distorting the Quran, the only way the Vizier could silence him was with exile. Osman Fazli went into retreat but emerged with a different course of action: he was leading a band of Sufis towards the battlefront when he was arrested and exiled for good. Osman Fazli exemplifies the Jelveti way: that following union with Allah he returns and acts in the world. He is "hushyar" (awake).

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Osman Fazli was born 7 July 1632 (19 Zilhicce 1040 A.H) in Shumnu, today Shumen in present-day north east Bulgaria but then part of the Ottoman empire.

paragraph: Osman Fazli's father, Seyyid Fethullah, was a learned person of very severe temperament

paragraph: He was next sent to the main Jelveti tekke in Uskudar, Istanbul whose principal Jelveti Saçlı Ibrahim, a holy ecstatic (meczup), had appointed one of his pupils, Zakirzade Abdullah Efendi, as the spiritual guide to seekers. Osman, on meeting Zakirzade, cried: "Now I have found my sheykh." Zakirzade Abdullah, now an old man, replied: "At last a student with real certainty in God has come to us. For so many years we have performed this service here without coming across such strength of spirit as this," later adding that Osman had the natural ‘mashrab’ (way of drinking) of Sheykh al Akbar Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi. Because Osman Fazlı exemplified the way of service, all the knowledges were inspired into his heart.

paragraph: Section::::Preaching.

paragraph: Sheikh Zakirzade then sent him to preach, and call to God, the people of Aydos near Edirne. About 1656 Ismail Hakkı was brought before him and he thereafter referred to him as "our student since the age of three".

paragraph: After 1657 Osman Fazlı received an indication to move north west to Plovdiv (Filibe) on the road to Sofia. There he gave spiritual direction for fifteen years.

paragraph: Ca.1672 a vision directed him to move to the Kul Cami a very small mosque near the At Pazarı (horse market), Fatih district, Istanbul. He found a room nearby and was soon given the post of preacher and imam. Here he took up the private study of Ibn Arabi's works. Within a few years he was giving daily sermons at the Kul Camii, preaching at the Yavuz Selim Mosque on Fridays and preaching at the Süleymaniye Mosque on Wednesdays.

paragraph: By 1673, age 41, Ozman Fazli had become leader of the Jelveti sect in Istanbul, a Sufi order known for its emphasis on khalwa (retreat) and individualism. where he guided Muraqaba (meditation) and led the Dhikr. He also gave public classes and his fame as a Murshid (guide) brought students flocking from all over the Empire including, in 1673, young Ismail Hakki who later became Ismail Hakki Bursevi, his heir.

paragraph: Section::::Political matters.

paragraph: Aged c.48 Osman Fazlı had a vision of the fall of the Ottoman Empire and although he was of reclusive temperament and had no inclination for public office, felt destined to step into politics to influence world events. In Islam, those who have union with God are saints (Wali), but there are two kinds: One kind remains "annihilated", "drunk with God" (mestanan), the other kind returns to function in this world and is "The Awake" (hushyar); and that is the Jelveti way that Osman Fazli followed.

paragraph: Osman Fazlı stopped teaching and moved to Edirne to enter the court at the Sultan's palace. There, he was most outspoken: he gave frank criticisms of every selfish policy that did not benefit the population. That pleased Sultan Mehmet IV however, in that empire's structure, it was the Grand Vizier who held the power) and authority. In 1682 Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha decided to break the treaty between the Ottoman empire and the Holy Roman Empire by invading Vienna, Osman Fazli strongly argued against it, claiming it could only lead to disaster and misfortune. And he was proved right in his predictions. For in 1683 the Ottoman Empire was subject to the long and disastrous Great Turkish War. After the execution of the Grand Vizier other pashas were appointed to that post in rapid sequence.

paragraph: In 1687 a rebellion dethroned Mehmet IV in favour of his yet more ineffective brother Suleyman II. In 1688, Janissaries took over Istanbul and the citizens marched on the Topkapı Palace in protest. The sultan pleaded Osman Fazlı to help and he went out bearing aloft the Sancak-i Şerif, the Standard of the Prophet and appealed to their religious sentiment, gained their support, and the rebellion was contained. The sultan then called on Osman Fazlı to take over the Grand Viziership, but he declined.

paragraph: The Vizierate financed their constant warfare by requisitioning peoples property, and in 1689 Grand Vizier Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa Pasha asked Osman Fazlı and the scholars to find a formula in Koranic law to support this. When Osman Fazlı warned him that it was against the spirit of the Sheriat, and only misfortune come upon those who ‘abused their position by distorting the Holy Law’

paragraph: The Grand Vizier retorted by banishing him, in an effort to silence him, to Shumnu for three months. And when he returned he did try to keep out of politics and went on retreat in Rumeli Hisar, a village a few miles up the Bosphorus. But he again felt he must proclaim that the requisitions were not legal, and must be opposed, and was leading a band of Sufis towards the battlefront when he was arrested and in 1690 the Grand Vizier exiled him to Cyprus.

paragraph: Section::::Shrine.

paragraph: In 1690 was taken to Famagusta, north east Cyprus. There, all he ate was a piece of bread every evening. He requested his pupil Ismail Hakki come from Bursa: "There is really nothing left behind apart from our wujud (existence) ... For eternal life there is no need to remain in the world." He always disliked fame and renown: "Don’t erect a türbe over me; a stone to mark the head of the grave will be enough to provide the opportunity for a prayer." His last request was to be buried in the open countryside around Üsküdar, Istanbul, but his exile did not permit it, so he was buried in the martyrs’ cemetery, Famagusta. Those who were very fond of him built a stone sarcophagus over the grave, and it later came to be enclosed in a simple annexe of a tekke. Now abandoned, the tekke falls into disrepair, though it was rebuilt in 1824.

paragraph: In Cyprus he is revered by the name Kutup Osman Fazli, meaning he was the spiritual axis of worldly matters.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Man possesses three languages; The first is the normal speech which we use to communicate verbally between each other. The second is the language of the soul, which expresses itself … when the feelings are stirred … as fast as a flash of lightning. It does not appear in words but depends for its expression on events and circumstances. The third speech comes under the order of eternal matters. It is the manifestation of the path or the inherent mission in each being, in Man, as well as in animals and plants."

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Man does not possess anything else but his sensibilities as his real organ of intelligence, and without Divine action cannot even use his memory which is his sacred treasury of experience acquired long ago. The initiate, the saint, the Al-Insān al-Kāmil, is he who possesses the faculty of being able to recognise the true non-existence of his faculties of thought, and his own impotence in putting them in motion. It is he who leaves all the ‘space’ to God and who passes all his life in controlling his intimate faithfulness, in actions, ‘thought’ or in the acts that materialise them. It is he who prays constantly to God, even if it be only by a breath or by a movement of the heart, when he perceives the natural and constant phenomena of thought… The intimate work of the mystic in trying to attain the Divine proximity consists in responding to His infinite clemency by his recognition, or through Zikr, whenever thoughts ‘visitors from heaven’, manifest in his interior. Good or tempting, these visitors have for mission the exercising of our discernment to the most subtle degree of ‘Good and Evil', whereby we accord them our consent or we refuse them.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "According to the Koran, Man is the witness of Creation. The human soul is then, for the mystic, a constant miracle from God, and the acquired worth of the soul is determined by the swiftness of its response in praise and gratitude, which forms the foundation of its conduct and the conscientious awareness of its vision. The soul is educated and enlightened by the growing discrimination between good and evil and by our action to keep it on the straight path, in order to please only God."

paragraph: Shahla Zia

paragraph: Shahla Zia (12 February 1947 – 10 March 2005) also known as Shehla Zia, was a Pakistani lawyer and activist, known for her advocacy of women's rights.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Zia was born into a Punjabi family in Lahore. Her father Mahmood Ali Khan was an activist for the Pakistan movement, whilst her mother Satnam Mahmood was an educationist. She attended the University of the Punjab in the 1960s, from where she received her Bachelor's Degree in law, becoming one of the first Pakistani women to do so.

paragraph: She had two sons and three daughters. One of her daughters is Maliha Zia Lari, also a lawyer and human rights activist. She died at the age of 58, after an illness.

paragraph: Section::::Legal work and activism.

paragraph: Zia was one of the founders of the women's rights organization Aurat Foundation, as well as of the AGHS women's law firm and legal aid centre in 1980. In 1983, Zia was imprisoned along with several other women for protesting the 1983 Law of Evidence in front of the Lahore High Court, which had the effect of rendering the testimony of a male witness equal to that of two women under some circumstances. She was also active in the Women's Action Forum. Zia built a reputation for fighting laws that were discriminatory against women and religious minorities.

paragraph: Zia served on a commission examining the status of women in Pakistan, appointed by the government, and was a coauthor of a report that it authored in 1997. When the Pakistani National Assembly approved Sharia law in 1998 through the Fifteenth constitutional amendment, Zia was forced to resign her positions on several government bodies.

paragraph: Zia was the named plaintiff in a 1994 case in the Pakistani Supreme Court, in which the plaintiffs brought a legal challenge against the construction of an electric grid station, citing health risks. The ruling is considered a landmark in environmental law in Pakistan, because it held that the right to a healthy environment was constitutionally protected, and fell within the right to life and dignity.
