paragraph: Thomas Bacon (priest)

paragraph: Thomas Bacon (1711 – 1768) was an Episcopal clergyman, musician, poet, publisher and author. Considered the most learned man in Maryland of his day, Bacon is still known as the first compiler of Maryland statutes.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: The eldest child of mariner William Bacon and his second wife, Elizabeth Richardson, Thomas was probably born a year or so after their 1710 marriage. He had an elder half-brother William and a younger brother Anthony (baptised in 1716). Thomas Bacon was either born on the Isle of Man, or at his parents' earlier home in Whitehaven, a port town in Cumberland, after which they moved to the island.

paragraph: He probably received a very good education for his time, because by the mid-1730s, Bacon lived in Dublin and worked in the royal customs service. He had previously managed vessels in the coal trade between Whitehaven and Dublin. In 1737, Bacon published his first book, "A Compleat System of the Revenue of Ireland, in its Branches of Import, Export, and Inland Duties, Containing I. An Abridgement of English and Irish Statutes Relating to the Revenue of Ireland II. The Former and Additional Book of Rates Inwards and Outwards, etc. III. A View of the Duties which Compose the Revenue of Ireland, etc. IV. The Method of Making Entries, etc." This earned an invitation for him to become a free citizen of Dublin, with associated privileges.

paragraph: By 1741, Bacon had married and was publishing the biweekly "Dublin Mercury", possibly with the help of his wife or his elder half-brother William, as well as auctioning goods and operating a coffeehouse. In addition to private pamphlets and handbills, Bacon also published the official Irish newspaper, the "Dublin Gazette" in 1642 and 1643, but abruptly ceased publication in July, after which Augustus Long resumed publication on August 23, 1743. In the interim, a copyright dispute between author Samuel Richardson and other Irish publishers of his controversial novel Pamela, may have caused problems for Bacon, as some characterized him as an agent for the English publisher for selling imported copies after an Irish publisher had printed the first page required under Irish copyright law at the time (which changed as a result of the dispute).

paragraph: Section::::Ministry.

paragraph: Rather than continue his various businesses or pursue a civil service career, Bacon decided to study for the ministry. He returned to the Isle of Man and studied under Thomas Wilson, Bishop of Sodor and Man. At Kirk Michael, Wilson ordained Bacon as a deacon on 23 September 1744, and on 10 March 1745 as a priest "in order to go into the Plantations".

paragraph: Bacon's brother Anthony had moved to Maryland by 1733, and was working for his uncle, merchant Anthony Richardson until the latter's death in 1741, after which he continued in Maryland for a while, but circa 1749 moved to London to continue his mercantile career, which included the transatlantic slave trade. A 1744 letter mentioned Thomas's prospective missionary career in the colony. The new priest sailed for the colony shortly after his ordination, arriving in Talbot County and assisting the aging priest of St. Peter's parish, Daniel Maynadier, until the latter's death in 1746, when the vestry selected Bacon his successor and he accepted Governor Thomas Bladen's appointment.

paragraph: Thomas Bacon became well known in the local area and in the colonial capital, Annapolis, for his musical abilities (as member of the Tuesday Club in the capital and the Eastern Shore Triumvirate), as well as his learning. His masterwork was a complication of Maryland's laws, begun circa 1753 and published in three volumes in 1765. Bacon also wrote and published his colony's response to Benjamin Franklin's publication in London concerning a border dispute between the colonies (ultimately resolved by the Mason-Dixon line).

paragraph: Rev. Bacon also became known for his concerns with the education of children in his parish, and especially the religious education of African Americans. Himself a slaveowner, beginning in 1749, Bacon published several sermons lecturing masters about the benefits of extending religion to their slaves, and grave consequences should they fail to fulfill their duties. Like Alexander Garden and George Whitefield, Bacon reassured slaveowners that religious principles upheld their earthly authority over their slaves. Bacon started a school to instruct African Americans, and received books from the Anglican organization of Dr. Thomas Bray. Two collections of his sermons were republished in London: "Two Sermons Preached to a Congregation of Black Slaves at the Parish of S.P. In the Province of Maryland, By an American Pastor" (London, 1749), and "Four Sermons upon the Great and Indispensable Duty of All Christian Masters and Mistresses to Bring up Their Negro Slaves in the Knowledge and Fear of God" (London, Society for the Propagation of the Gospel 1750).

paragraph: In 1750 Bacon published a pamphlet and began a subscription to provide a school for free, manual training for children without regard to race, sex, or status. He solicited subscribers from other colonies, giving several concerts in Maryland and Delaware and even traveling to Williamsburg, Virginia the following year to raise funds. The Charity Working School was built in 1755 and operated for a time, including under Rev. Bacon's successor as rector, but Talbot County officials ultimately converted it into a poorhouse.

paragraph: In 1753, Rev. Bacon served as clerk for the gathering of Maryland clergy, and during the following years acted as a moderating influence in several political disputes involving Rev. Samuel Chase. In 1758, after the French and Indian War Bacon received the most lucrative and extensive parish in the colony, the newly organized All Saint's Parish in Frederick County, which included most of Western Maryland. However, in that war, Bacon lost his only son, John, who as a lieutenant commanding troops from Annapolis, was killed and scalped near Fort Cumberland. Bacon hired a curate to help him with the large parish, which was split after his death. Three years after his relocation to Frederick, Rev. Bacon opened another charity school.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Bacon was married twice. He sailed from England with his first wife and son John, probably born in the early 1730s. After her death, in the mid-1750s, the widower clergyman was involved in a scandal, with a spinster mulatto woman named Beck, who accused him of being the father of her child. That was not proven, and he filed a lawsuit for defamation, which plodded through the courts. In 1756, Bacon remarried, to Elizabeth Bozman, daughter of Col. Thomas Bozman, a prominent Talbot County resident. However, that too caused scandal, for Rev. Bacon had earlier married her to Rev. John Belchier, and after the couple moved to Philadelphia, Elizabeth learned that her husband was an adventurer and bigamist (having left a wife in England) so she returned home and married the widower Bacon. Bacon was fined for not properly reading the marriage bans beforehand, but could not pay, so that legal action dogged him for years

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Bacon died in Frederick on 24 May 1768, leaving his widow Elizabeth and three daughters (Rachel, Elizabeth, and Mary). His three slaves (a boy, woman and child), were together valued by the probate court at 100 pounds. His daughter Elizabeth moved to England to become a servant to his brother Anthony's wife, and both Rachel and Mary ultimately married and remained in the colony.

paragraph: Bacon's abridgement of the Laws of Maryland, begun in Talbot county in 1753, became celebrated. The Lord Proprietor, who originally subscribed to 100 pounds, gave the cleric a gold snuff box, which was noted in the inventory of his estate.

paragraph: His clerical successor, Bennet Allen became the subject of scandal, and locked out of the parish, so he, like Rev. Bacon, hired a curate to handle spiritual duties in the huge parish, which was divided after the American Revolutionary War.

paragraph: In 1813, Virginian William Meade (who would become the Episcopal Bishop of Virginia) published a collection of pro-slavery essays, including some by Bacon. Like Bacon, Meade attempted to justify both the education of African Americans to slaveowners (who preferred illiteracy) as well as slavery (emphasizing the "organic ties" between rich and poor, powerful and powerless who all were to fulfill the responsibilities associated with their particular station in life).

paragraph: While both St. Peter's parish and All Saints Church still exist today, Bacon's gravesite was lost as Frederick grew, although it may be under the present city hall and surrounding park, for All Saints' graveyard was moved to the outskirts and consolidated in Mount Olivet cemetery in 1852.

paragraph: Mark Boyd (footballer)

paragraph: Mark Edward Boyd (born 22 October 1981) is an English former footballer manager.

paragraph: Beginning his career as midfielder with Newcastle United, he never made the first team and instead signed with Port Vale in 2002. After two years with the Vale he moved north to Scottish side Gretna via Carlisle United. Failing to make an impact he returned to the Football League with a Macclesfield Town loan in 2005. After a short spell with Accrington Stanley in 2006, he joined non-league side Southport. He joined Irish club Sligo Rovers in 2007, before turning to the English non-league scene with Barrow the following year. He joined Workington via Droylsden in 2011, before switching to Celtic Nation in June 2013. He helped Celtic Nation to a second-place finish in the Northern League in 2013–14, before taking up the management position for the 2014–15 season, after which the club was folded. He later played for Penrith and Carlisle City.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Mark began his career in the Newcastle United youth team coming through the ranks before leaving on a free transfer to League One side Port Vale after being recommended to the "Valiants" manager Brian Horton by Bobby Robson. However, he suffered a broken ankle with a couple of months of the season remaining. Boyd never really forced his way back into the reckoning the following season as Vale were challenging for the play-offs in League One and he was released by mutual consent in 2004 to join Carlisle United until the end of the season.

paragraph: For the next two seasons Boyd could not forge a longer term deal with a club and ended up playing bit part roles for Carlisle United, Gretna, Macclesfield Town, and finally Accrington Stanley, before eventually signing for Conference side Southport before the 2006–07 season. His Southport career began disappointingly with a missed penalty in the team's first game of the season. The next year he transferred to Sligo Rovers in the Republic of Ireland.

paragraph: In January 2008 he was back in England with Barrow of the Conference North. In May 2008, Barrow beat Staylybridge Celtic 1–0 to gain promotion back into the Conference National via the Conference North play-offs. Boyd remained a key part of the Barrow squad during their first two seasons in the Conference National, culminating in the club's 2–1 victory over Stevenage in the 2009–10 FA Trophy final. In the match itself Boyd replaced Paul Rutherford with just ten minutes of extra time remaining, Jason Walker having already scored Barrow's winning goal three minutes earlier.

paragraph: In February 2011 Boyd signed a short contract at Droylsden of the Conference North, following a one-month loan spell. In the June that year he became Workington's first summer signing, penning a one-year deal. The "Reds" finished 13th and 14th in the Conference North in 2011–12 and 2012–13. He quit Workington in June 2013 to join Northern League side Celtic Nation. He helped Celtic Nation to a second-place finish in the Northern League in 2013–14. After taking a career break, he joined Penrith of the Northern League Division One in March 2016, and moved on to Northern Alliance Premier Division side Carlisle City later in the year.

paragraph: Section::::Management career.

paragraph: Boyd was appointed Celtic Nation player-manager in July 2014; at the time of his appointment the club were undergoing a crisis after a moneyed investor withdrew his support for the club. The club finished second-from-bottom in the 2014–15 campaign, before folding in the summer. He joined Northern League side Shildon as a coach in May 2017.

paragraph: Hugh I (Spanish "Hugo", Catalan "Hug") (c. 965 – 1040), Count of Empúries (Ampurias) from 991, was the son of Gausfred I and his first wife, Ava, daughter of Raymond II of Rouergue.

paragraph: By the testament of his father, dated 969, Hugh was to receive the county of Ampurias while his brother Giselbert received that of Roussillon. The division took place on the death of Gausfred, but on the death of Giselbert in 1014, Hugh tried to reunify the counties and invaded the county of his nephew, Gausfred II. Gausfred obtained the help of Bernard I of Besalú and the Abbot Oliva and the two relations arrived a peace in 1020.

paragraph: Hugh made a career of harassing his neighbours. Ermesinde of Carcassonne, the widow of Ramon Borrell, Count of Barcelona, reclaimed the allod of Ullastrell, which had been sold by Borrell and subsequently invaded by Hugh. In 1019, a judicial synod in Girona, presided over by Oliva and Bernard, devolved the allod to Ermesinda. At about this time, Hugh made enemies of the church by seizing the monastery of San Salvador de Verdera.

paragraph: Jimmie Mercer

paragraph: Jimmie Mercer (August 12, 1871–December 10, 1914) was a lawman and pioneer in Arizona in the late 19th century and early 20th century. He was badly wounded by a suspected cattle rustler near the town of Pantano on December 2, 1914, and died about a week later in a Tucson hospital.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: James Arthur "Jimmie" Mercer was born in England on August 12, 1871, and was the eldest child of Andrew Valentine Mercer and Isabella Katherine Newton. Jimmie was named after Andrew's father, James Arthur Mercer (1812-1878). In 1883, Jimmie and his parents emigrated to the United States and settled down in Tubac, Arizona, where Andrew's elder brother, T. Lillie Mercer, had previously settled. Andrew and Isabella divorced when Jimmie was twelve-years-old, after which he was raised by a family friend named Pete Kitchen. According to Jimmie's nephew, Art Mercer: "Jimmie lived with Pete and his family until he was 14 or 15 years old... Pete was quite a desperado. When some squaws tried to steal his horses, Jimmie killed two of the women."

paragraph: Jimmie's first marriage was to Bessie Pearl McKinney, who was born in 1883, in Uvalde, Texas, and was the daughter of a well known and respected pioneer rancher. The two were married in Mammoth, Arizona, on July 16, 1898. Jimmie was popular and respected. He worked as a Pima County deputy sheriff and later a county ranger. The Mercers had three sons: Arthur Virgil Mercer, who was born on January 3, 1900, Caddell Newton Mercer, who was born on April 21, 1903, and Edgar Leslie Mercer, born on February 10, 1906. With his second wife, Harriett Ann Brown, Jimmie had a fourth son named James Arthur Mercer, Jr. just before his death on December 10, 1914.

paragraph: On December 2, 1914, Mercer and a local rancher named Robert Fenton were out investigating a police report for some stolen cattle. According to the report, a Mexican rancher named J. Padilla was in possession of a stolen calf, so the two men headed for Padilla's ranch, which was located just north of what is now the ghost town of Pantano. As Mercer and Fenton approached the little ranch, Padilla began walking towards them. However, when about seventy yards away from Mercer, Padilla raised his rifle and fired once at him. The bullet struck Mercer in the left leg, just above the knee. As Mercer fell to the ground, Padilla turned around and fled into a nearby canyon. Mercer was then taken back to Pantano, where he was put on a train and sent to Rogers Hospital in Tucson.

paragraph: Mercer's wound was bad; the bullet struck him just above the knee, breaking his leg, and he was bleeding a lot. Ultimately, he died from the loss of blood several days later on December 10, and was buried in the Evergreen Memorial Park in Tucson. He was survived by his wife, two brothers, and three sisters. There is no record of whether or not the killer was ever apprehended. Today there is a small memorial for Mercer near Pantano, at the Ciénega Creek Natural Preserve. The Pete Kitchen Ranch, near Nogales, Arizona, is also on display and has been listed on the National Historic Register since 1975.

paragraph: An obituary for Jimmie was printed in the "Arizona Daily Star" on December 11, 1914:

paragraph: Drew Lock

paragraph: Andrew Stephen Lock (born November 10, 1996) is an American football quarterback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Missouri Tigers and was drafted by the Broncos 42nd overall in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

paragraph: Section::::High school career.

paragraph: Lock attended Lee's Summit High School in Lee's Summit, Missouri. As a junior, he passed for 3,060 yards and 35 touchdowns. As a senior in 2014, he was the Kansas City Star's All-Metro Player of the Year after passing for 2,731 yards, 28 touchdowns. Lock was rated by Rivals as a four-star recruit and was ranked as the sixth-best pro-style quarterback in the 2015 class. Lock committed to the University of Missouri to play college football. He was also considered a two-star basketball prospect as a shooting guard, but retired from basketball after high school.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Lock began his collegiate career by going 6-for-10 for 138 yards and a touchdown in the season-opener against Southeast Missouri State while coming off the bench for two series. He then took over as Mizzou’s starting quarterback over the final eight games of 2015. In a win over South Carolina, he became the first Mizzou true freshman to start at QB since Corby Jones in 1995, going 21-for-28 for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Against BYU at Arrowhead Stadium 19-of-28 for a career-best 244 yards and a touchdown while also setting career-highs in passer rating and passing yards while posting his second-best completion percentage of the season. He finished the season going 129-of-263 for 1,332 and four touchdowns.

paragraph: He finished the 2016 regular season ranked first in the SEC in passing yards (3,399) and second in passing yards per game (283.3) and yards per completion (14.34) while posted top-20 marks nationally in all three categories as well, peaking at 10th nationally with his 3,399 passing yards. Also ranked second in the SEC in completions per game (19.75) and third in total offense (293.5). His 3,399 yards through the air are the fifth-most in program history in a single season and the most ever in a 12-game season at Mizzou while his 23 passing touchdowns were the sixth-most in program history and only three Mizzou quarterbacks have thrown for more in a single season. He completed 24-for-37 for a career-high 450 yards while tying a school record with five touchdowns against Eastern Michigan in Mizzou’s home opener. Tossed for three more touchdowns on 23-of-38 passing in Mizzou’s 28–27 loss to Georgia. His passing total of 1,106 yards was more than any Mizzou quarterback in his first three games ever. Played only the first half against Delaware State, but put up huge numbers in the 79–0 win. In the first half alone, he completed 26-of-36 passes for 402 yards while matching the school record with five touchdowns. He closed his season by sparking a second-half, 17-point comeback with a 67-yard TD pass to Johnathon Johnson against Arkansas. Finished that game going 16-for-26 with 268 yards and a score.

paragraph: In the 2017 season, Lock led Missouri to a 7–5 record and its first bowl season since 2014. He threw for 3,695 yards, 44 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. His 44 touchdowns broke an SEC record for touchdown passes in a season.

paragraph: Feliks Szczęsny Kryski (1562 – 10 February 1618) was a Polish nobleman, politician, writer, and orator. He was Grand Chancellor of Poland from 1613 until his death.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Kryski was a Polish nobleman of the line of Mazovian dukes that first came to power in 1429. He was born in 1562 in Drobin, the son of Stanislav Kryski and Margaret Uchanska and brother to Wojciech Kryski.

paragraph: Kryski was speaker in the sejms of 1603 and 1607. He was an ardent supporter of king Sigismund III, supporting him in his clashes with Jan Zamoyski's party. Kryski was a close associate of Grand Marshal of the Crown, Zygmunt Myszkowski and through these connections he became one of the closest advisers of Sigismund III. He held the title of Wojski of Zakroczym.

paragraph: During the Zebrzydowski Rebellion he stood faithfully by the monarch. His polemical writing "Deklaracja pana wojewody krakowskiego" refuted allegations by rebels. In 1609 he became the Deputy Chancellor of the Crown. He prepared an expedition to Russia, organizing pro-war propaganda. He has published several letters including the "Diskurs słusznej wojny z Moskwą, rationes pro et contra". He accompanied the king in the expedition to Moscow in 1610.

paragraph: Domenico Della-Maria

paragraph: Domenico Della Maria (born Marseilles 1768, died Paris 9 March 1800) was a mandolin virtuoso and dramatic composer of operas.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: He was the son of Italian parents. His father Domenico was a roving mandolin player, who with his wife and friends formed an itinerant company of musicians—mandolinists, guitarists, and vocalists. During their wanderings they visited Marseilles, where their playing and singing attracted more than ordinary attention. This success induced Della Maria and his wife to settle in this city, where they first commenced to teach their instruments, Domenico was born. He was taught the mandolin while a child, and a few years later he received instruction on the violoncello. He appeared publicly as an infant prodigy upon both instruments. When he was eighteen years of age Della Maria wrote his first opera, it being performed in the theatre of his native town. This work caused a great sensation among musicians of Marseilles, as bearing the stamp of genius. After this success, Della Maria travelled through Italy as a mandolinist and violoncellist and did not continue his musical education until he came under the influence of Paisiello in Naples, some years later. He was engaged in Naples as violoncellist and mandolinist in the orchestra of the Royal Chapel, under the direction of Giovanni Paisiello. Della Maria became aware of his own lack of knowledge immediately he became associated with the concert master and studied diligently under Paisiello for a considerable period. This began a lifelong friendship between the two. Paisiello manifested more than ordinary interest in his talented pupil, the mandolin virtuoso, and had shown his appreciation of the musical value of the instrument by employing it in the score of his opera, "Il barbiere di Siviglia" (The Barber of Seville), which had been composed a few years previously in St. Petersburg.

paragraph: Section::::Alexandre Duval and "The Prisoner".

paragraph: Della Maria, resided in Italy for about ten years, during the latter part of which period he wrote light works for numerous secondary Italian theatres. He produced six operas, three of which were fairly successful, and one of the remainder, "Il maestro di capella", exceedingly so; its popularity brought fame to its author. In 1796, Della Maria returned to Marseilles, and later that year in Paris. He was absolutely unknown, but in a very short time his reputation was such that he found himself the guest and friend of the most renowned in literary and musical circles. The poet, Alexander Duval (1767-1842), wrote a complimentary article in the "Decade Philosophique", concerning the young artist, and a few years later the two were most intimately associated. Duval mentions that one of his personal friends, to whom Della Maria had been introduced, requested him to write some poem for the musician. Duval acting upon the earnest suggestion of his friend, made an appointment with Della Maria. This interview proved to be the commencement of a productive friendship; in Duval's words, Della Maria's classical, soulful countenance and his natural and original demeanor inspired a confidence in the poet that was found to be entirely justified. Duval had just completed "Le prisonnier" (The Prisoner), which had been commissioned for the "Theatre Français"; however, the desire to gratify the request of Della Maria convinced him to write an opera. After a few alterations and additions, Duval transformed the work to a lyric comedy. Within eight days after receiving the libretto, Della Maria composed the music. The artists of the opera were so enthusiastic about the work during its rehearsals that its success was assured. It was performed in January 29, 1798, and the opera was published by Breitkopf & Härtel, Leipzig. It established the name of Della Maria throughout France as an operatic composer of repute, for he immediately brought out six other operas, his works being now great favourites with Parisians.

paragraph: The brilliant success of "The Prisoner", was due to two primary causes, the first of which was the melodiousness and simplicity of the vocal parts, under a duly subservient and subdued skilful orchestration, while the second factor was his most fortunate choice of artists responsible for the principal characters. The actresses, Mile. St. Aubin, and Mile. Dugazon, found in the opera, parts analogous to their natural dispositions, and their names were popularized throughout France by their interpretations.

paragraph: Section::::Other operas.

paragraph: In this opera, Della Maria did not rise to extraordinary powerful conceptions; but his style was original, and this individuality was noticeable in all his compositions. Unfortunately, his style tended towards weakening in several of his later operas. He enjoyed an amount of success with: "The Uncle Valet" and "The Ancient Castle", but "Jacquot" (The school of mothers) (1797) and "The House of Marais" were both short lived. "La Fausse Duegne" (The false wife) was left unfinished by the sudden death of Della Maria, and in 1802 Blangini was commissioned to complete the work.

paragraph: Section::::End of life.

paragraph: These operas were written within the space of four years, and in this brief time, Della Maria seems to have exhausted all his natural resources. Being of a genial and sociable disposition, Della Maria had made many friends. Duval, the poet, was one of the most sincere. They had only completed arrangements for retiring to the country together, intending to write a new opera, when Della Maria died March 9, 1800, seized by an illness and fell in the Rue St. Honoré street. He was assisted to an adjacent house by a passing stranger, where he expired a few hours later without regaining consciousness. As no trace of his identity could be obtained, the police instituted enquiries, and several days elapsed before his friends could be informed of the sad event. He was thirty-two when he died, a young and brilliant musician.

paragraph: Della Maria was a mandolin virtuoso, who wrote much for his instrument, and, like his master, Paisiello, made frequent use of it in his orchestral scores. Several of his church compositions were published by Costallat, Paris, and he left many unpublished works, consisting of church and instrumental pieces, and mandolin sonatas, which, with his mandolin and violoncello, were preserved in the home of his parents in Marseilles.

paragraph: Adam Rouse

paragraph: Adam Paul Rouse (born 30 June 1992) is a Zimbabwean-born English cricketer who plays for Kent County Cricket Club. Rouse is a right-handed batsman who fields as a wicket-keeper, although he is considered versatile enough to play solely as a specialist batsman. Rouse has played for England at Under-19 level and made his first-class debut in 2013 for Hampshire. He played for Gloucestershire in 2014 before joining Kent ahead of the 2016 season.

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

paragraph: Born in the Zimbabwean capital Harare, Rouse moved to England with his family when he was ten years old, living at Farleigh Wallop near Basingstoke. Two years later, he became the youngest person to make a century in an adult league match at the age of twelve. Impressing during his teens in club cricket, Rouse was talent spotted by Hampshire, entering the county's academy and first playing for their second XI in 2008.

paragraph: In 2010, Rouse played two Youth Test matches and five Youth One Day Internationals for the England Under-19 side against Sri Lanka Under-19s. In 2011 he became the youngest English substitute fielder to take a catch during a Test match. Later in the year Rouse had his development contract renewed. He captained the Hampshire Second XI for the majority of the 2012 season.

paragraph: Section::::Cricket career.

paragraph: Rouse made his First Class cricket debut for Hampshire in 2013 against Kent, also appearing once for the county in a one-day game against the touring Bangladesh A team. He was released by the club at the end of the 2013 season, joining Gloucestershire for a two-month spell in 2014. Rouse played in 13 matches for Gloucestershire in all domestic competitions before being released when first choice wicket keeper Gareth Roderick returned from injury. He also featured for Surrey and Kent's second eleven teams during the season. Following his release by Gloucestershire, Rouse qualified as a personal trainer, a move he later suggested had allowed him to play cricket "with a bit more freedom" and provided a "plan-B".

paragraph: At the beginning of the 2015 season he acted as temporary wicket keeper cover for Kent but was not signed to a longer term contract. In January 2016, following Ryan Davies' departure to Somerset, Rouse signed a two-year permanent contract with Kent. He made his Kent first-class debut in a University match in April 2016, replacing Sam Billings who was playing in the 2016 Indian Premier League.

paragraph: Rouse became Kent's regular wicket-keeper in Billings absence at the start of the 2016 season and by the end of May was leading the first-class wicket-keeping dismissals with 26 victims. Once Billings returned to Kent Rouse became the reserve 'keeper, although he continued to play when Billings was injured or on England duty, making eight appearances for Kent during the season. His season was cut short following two finger dislocations during Kent's County Championship match against Glamorgan towards the end of June, a game in which Rouse made his maiden first-class half century. A fracture resulting from the injuries required surgery which side-lined Rouse for ten weeks and he did not play for the first team for the remainder of the 2016 season.

paragraph: With Billings once again on England duty and playing in the 2017 Pakistan Super League, Rouse began Kent's 2017 season as the first-choice wicket-keeper, playing in all of the county's matches in the 2016–17 Regional Super50 tournament in the West Indies and topping the team's batting averages in the competition. He scored his maiden List A half-century in the team's final match of the tournament playing as a specialist batsman. Rouse continued to keep wicket at the start of the 2017 County Championship season, taking 13 catches and making a new first-class highest score of 95 not out in the first block of matches before signing a new contract with Kent in late April. He played in Billings' absences for Kent throughout 2017 and again in 2018, playing occasionally as wicket-keeper in games Billings also played in, and made one first-class appearance for Surrey in July 2018 in a tour match against West Indies A with Surrey suffering from a shortage of available wicket-keepers.

paragraph: John Robinson (militiaman)

paragraph: John Robinson (July 24, 1735 – June 13, 1805) was a Massachusetts militia and Continental Army officer from Westford, Massachusetts during the American Revolutionary War. On April 19, 1775, during the Battle of Concord, Robinson was the second highest-ranking officer in the field after Colonel James Barrett. Robinson marched next to Major John Buttrick at the head of the American column which advanced on and defeated the British Regulars at the Old North Bridge that day. Robinson would later fight at the Battle of Bunker Hill, serve under General George Washington during the Siege of Boston and, in 1786, would take part in the agrarian insurrection known as Shays' Rebellion.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Robinson was born in Topsfield, Province of Massachusetts in 1735. At age 29 he married Miss Huldah Perley of Boxford, Massachusetts, the niece of French and Indian War Major General Israel Putnam of Pomfret, Connecticut.

paragraph: Soon after migrating from Topsfield to Westford in search of open farmland, Robinson was appointed to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, or second in command of the Minuteman regiment commanded by Col. William Prescott of Pepperell, Massachusetts.

paragraph: Section::::Lexington and Concord.

paragraph: The exact manner in which Robinson was alarmed on the early morning of April 19, 1775 has been lost to history. Most documents relay the story of an unknown, lone alarm rider rousing the officer and his family in the dead of night. However, historian David Hackett Fischer asserts that the township as a whole was alerted by the firing of an alarm signal from the nearby village of Carlisle, a Northern precinct of Concord, thereby creating a more general internal alarm throughout the vicinity. Regardless, once roused, Robinson moved in haste to join his fellow Minutemen. Robinson, Rev. Joseph Thaxter, and a handful of Westford Minutemen rode on horseback and arrived at Concord in time to participate in the engagement at the Old North Bridge.

paragraph: Robinson and his companions, having traveled by horse, arrived before the companies of Westford militia and minutemen who traveled on foot. Only a very small number of Robinson's regiment were present as the Americans prepared to attack the small British force holding the Old North Bridge. The militia and minutemen present at that time were almost entirely of Col. James Barrett's regiment of Middlesex militia and Col. Abijah Pierce's regiment of Middlesex minutemen. As he had no command present on the field, Robinson requested permission from Major John Buttrick (who had been designated second in command by Barrett and charged with leading the advance) to march at the head of the American column at Buttrick's side. Recognizing Robinson's superior rank, Buttrick offered command of the column to Robinson, despite the fact that it was not Robinson's regiment. Robinson declined and asked to accompany Buttrick as a volunteer.

paragraph: Buttrick and Robinson led the column, side by side, from a hill near Buttrick's farm down to the North Bridge. The first shot fired by the Regulars splashed into the Concord River, fired either accidentally or as a warning to the oncoming Americans. The British then fired several more shots, killing Captain Isaac Davis of Acton who commanded the leading company in the American column. Another of these shots sent a ball through Robinson's coat, just under the arm, severely wounding an Acton volunteer behind Robinson. Buttrick gave the command to commence fire, resulting in 12 British casualties (three of them fatal). The British retreated almost immediately after the Americans opened fire.

paragraph: Section::::Battle of Bunker Hill.

paragraph: Robinson fought from the redoubt on Breed's Hill under the command of Col. William Prescott of Pepperell, Massachusetts. His bravery and valor in outflanking a charge of British regulars along a low fence on Breed's Hill was noted by Prescott in an August 25, 1775 letter to Continental Congressman John Adams. "I commanded my Lieut Coll. Robinson...with a detachment to flank the enemy" Prescott related, "who I have reason to think behaved with prudence and courage."

paragraph: Section::::Service at Cambridge.

paragraph: Col. Robinson commanded a regiment of over 400 militiamen at Cambridge under the authority of General George Washington during the Siege of Boston from late 1775 to March 23, 1776. His official tenure ended soon after Henry Knox's famous display of captured Fort Ticonderoga artillery brought to a close the British occupation of Boston and forced the wholesale evacuation of Royal forces from the colony. However, the mirth of the Royal retreat was short lived for the Robinson family. The unsanitary conditions of Cambridge camp life brought about a scourge of diseases which were quickly spread throughout New England by the returning soldiers. Almost immediately, these diseases were to have devastating effects on both soldier and citizen alike. In a period of less than two weeks, between the days of August, 30 and September 9, 1775, three of John Robinson's daughters, all under the age of ten, would perish from camp fever.

paragraph: Section::::Shays' Rebellion.

paragraph: In 1786, Robinson took up arms against the Massachusetts Courts in the post-war farmer's revolt later known as Shays' Rebellion. Little is known of his actual role in the rebellion, his great-Granddaughter Olive Ann Prescott, describing his action as "an honest mistake" yet noting that he always had fought "with an innate hatred of injustice wherever found". It is known that he acted in concert with Job Shattuck of neighboring Groton, MA, a notable leader in the uprising who Robinson had commanded in Prescott's militia and at the Regimental camp at Cambridge. On September 12, the day on which the Middlesex County Court in Concord was forced to adjourn by an armed mob of Shaysites, "The number at 11 o’clock was about seventy, but increased in the afternoon to about two hundred and fifty, by the arrival of others from Worcester county; and from other towns in Middlesex, among whom Col. Robinson of Westford was conspicuous."

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The Col. John Robinson elementary school in Westford, Massachusetts is named in his honor, as is the Col. John Robinson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Westford, Massachusetts. Robinson Rd. in Westford is also named in his honor. There is a small memorial on Westford Town Common with a plaque commemorating his service and the "All War Monument" at the head of the Westford Town Common also mentions his service during the revolutionary war. A memorial plaque is placed at the entrance to the Westlawn Cemetery on Concord Road in Westford, where Robinson is buried, put there by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

paragraph: John Harfield Tredgold

paragraph: John Harfield Tredgold (1798 – 22 May 1842) was an English chemist in the Cape Colony in Africa. He held a number of voluntary roles including Secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. The suburb of Cape Town called Harfield drew its name from Tredgold's middle name.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Tredgold was baptised in 1798 by his parents Thomas and Elizabeth Tredgold. His middle name was his mother's surname before she married 10 April 1795.

paragraph: He arrived in the Cape in 1818 (possibly 24 June 1818) and was licensed on 3 July 1818 as a chemist and druggist in the colony. He became a partner in the pharmacy "Thredgold and Pocock".

paragraph: Tredgold married Elizabeth Merrington in Cape Town on New Year's Day 1825 in St Georges Cathedral before it was rebuilt. Elizabeth was born in London in December 1806.

paragraph: Tredgold was a member of the Cape of Good Hope Philanthropic Society and worked with those in poverty. He was one of the founders of the Commercial Exchange and helped to manage the Cape of Good Hope Savings Bank. He was a member of the influential Congregational Union Chapel in Cape Town who laboured for the emancipation of the slaves at the Cape.

paragraph: He is thought to have employed John Pocock, whose diaries give an insight into the Tredgolds' family life. Of particular note is a reference to an evening party in 1836 when letters were read from Richard Miles, "a Bechuana boy formerly in the employ of Mr T. but now an itinerant preacher to the native tribes beyond the border". Richard Miles was to go on to have an interesting career as a preacher and interpreter long after Tredgold had left the country. In 1850, Richard Miles was appointed "Kaptyn of Bethanie", by the British Resident, Major Warden, in the name of His Excellency the Governor of the Cape.

paragraph: Tredgold and his family left the Cape on 19 February 1837 due to illness in the family (including his own). This may have been unplanned, as in the same year he was appointed to be a member of a committee authorised by the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, Lt-General Sir Benjamin d'Urban. Those worthies chosen were to be members of the "Children's Friend Society" who were to liaise with an organisation of the same name in London to safeguard "poor and destitute" children who were moved so that they might learn a trade.

paragraph: Tredgold and his wife Elizabeth attended the World's Anti-Slavery Convention on 12 June 1840. The picture above shows them in a painting made to commemorate the event, which attracted delegates from America, France, Haiti, Australia, Ireland, Jamaica and Barbados. Tredgold is shown at the centre of the painting in his role as secretary whilst Thomas Clarkson speaks. His wife is shown with most of the women to the right of the painting. It had been a matter of much debate as to where the female delegates would sit. Eventually the organisers had insisted that they sit with all the other women and male observers. A few women were included in the painting of the convention with Elizabeth Tredgold; these were Elizabeth Pease, Amelia Opie, Baroness Byron, Mary Anne Rawson, Mrs John Beaumont, Thomas Clarkson's daughter Mary and right at the back Lucretia Mott.

paragraph: After 1842 Elizabeth Tredgold returned to South Africa with five of her children. Two of her boys had died, aged thirteen and eleven, whilst they were in England. Mrs Tredgold died on 16 March 1892 at her daughter Elizabeth McIntyre's house in Ceres, Western Cape.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Sternburg was educated in the Fürstenschule Saint Afra, Meissen, Saxony, and the military academy of Potsdam.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Sternburg was the grandson of the merchant and art collector Maximilian Speck von Sternurg who was knighted with a hereditary title. Sternurg served in the military and fought through the Franco-Prussian War in the Second Saxon dragoons, and he remained in the military until 1885.

paragraph: In 1890, Sternburg began his diplomatic career and was secretary of legation at Beijing, chargé d'affaires at Belgrade, and first secretary of the embassy at Washington, DC. In 1898, he was high commissioner on the Samoan Commission. He became consul general for British India and Ceylon in 1900, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to the United States in 1903, and ambassador in July 1903, succeeding Theodor von Holleben.

paragraph: After the navy bombardment of San Carlos island, Venezuela, by Kriegsmarine battleships on January 31, 1903, US President Theodore Roosevelt castigated Sternburg for Germany's actions.

paragraph: Emanuel Glicen Romano

paragraph: Emanuel Glicen Romano or Emanuel Glicenstein (1897 – 1984) was a painter born in Italy. He emigrated to America and spent some time in Safed in Israel. where he organised a museum for his father's work.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Emanuel Glicenstein was born in Rome on 23 September 1897. His father Henryk Glicenstein was a sculptor and he was living in Rome with his wife Helena (born Hirszenberg) when Emanuel was born. His father obtained Italian citizenship and adopted the name Enrico. Emanuel was brought up in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, England and Poland. in 1926 Emanuel and his father sailed for New York. They briefly visited Chicago. Glicenstein's sister, Beatrice, and mother joined them in New York years later. Romano changed his name when he was in America and some have erroneously thought this was to avoid Jewish discrimination. However Romano changed his name in order that he could create his own success and to avoid being accused of exploiting his father's fame. In 1936 Romano was working for the Federal Art Project creating murals (see picture). During and immediately after World War II, Romano created a series of allegorical works depicting graphic holocaust images that were held closely by the family after his passing. One of these works is in the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg Florida.

paragraph: Romano was a good friend of Onya La Tour, an art collector and advocate for modern art. A 1940 catalog of La Tour's collection lists two works by Romano. Their relationship may have been a romantic one. In 1950, Romano painted a portrait of La Tour.

paragraph: Emanuel's father died in 1942 in a car accident before they could travel to Israel. In 1944 Romano exploited the studies he had completed at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Institute of Chicago when he taught at the City College of New York. He moved to Safed in Israel in 1953 to set up a museum in his father's memory. In November 1984 Romano died and the following year the Glicenstein Museum became the Israel Bible Museum and many valuable paintings were stored away.

paragraph: In 2008 the Deputy Mayor of Safed was charged with stealing paintings including one by Mane-Katz, which was recognised by a curator in Haifa. The paintings that had been put in storage included ones by Eugène Delacroix, Édouard Manet and Paul Cézanne.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Romano has paintings in the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Boston Fine Arts Museum, the Fogg Museum and the Musée Nacional de France. Recently his work has been added to the Florida Holocaust Museum collection. His notable works include his holocaust allegorical paintings as well as portraits of Marianne Moore, his father and William Carlos Williams. Romano created a portrait of T.S. Eliot as well as woodcuts to illustrate an edition of Eliot's "The Waste Land".
