paragraph: Sarenput I

paragraph: Sarenput I was an ancient Egyptian official during the reign of pharaoh Senusret I of the 12th Dynasty.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Sarenput held several titles such as nomarch of the 1st "nomos" of Upper Egypt ("Land of the Bow"), mayor of Elephantine, overseer of the priests of Satet, overseer of the foreign lands and many others. Like his distant predecessors Harkhuf and Heqaib, he also was the king's personal trading agent for the goods from Nubia and had a role in one of Senusret I's military campaign in this country, when the king rewarded Sarenput as reported in the latter's autobiography from his tomb. The same king appointed Sarenput as nomarch, probably the first one for this "nomos".br

paragraph: Many of Sarenput's attestations came from the sanctuary of Heqaib at Elephantine, where he ordered a shrine for the deified Heqaib and also one for himself, provided by many stelae and a statue depicting him.

paragraph: Section::::Tomb.

paragraph: Sarenput I was buried in a large rock-cut tomb at Qubbet el-Hawa (n. 36) which was decorated in sunk reliefs at the outside, and lively painted in the interior. The tomb is composed of three rooms connected by hallways; the first two chambers are provided with colonnades while the innermost has a niche that once housed a statue of the owner. Unfortunately, the whole tomb suffered significant damage over time.br

paragraph: The outer reliefs often depicts Sarenput with some of his relatives and his dogs, while among the survived inner paintings there is a scene of the owner with the god Khnum which is significant because in this period, a similar scene in a private tomb was still rare. The aforementioned autobiography is written in two copies, one outside and one inside the tomb. There is a significant artistic contrast between the reliefs carved on the outer doorjambs (see picture in the infobox) and the ones on the façade of the tomb, the former being far finer and possibly made by some royal sculptor, while the latter being more crude and likely a local product.

paragraph: Zish Shamalain

paragraph: Zish Shamalain Umair bin Abd Umro Al Khaza'i also Zu Shamalin bin Abd Amroo (ذو الشمالين عمير بن عبد عمرو الخزاعی) was a Makkan companion of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, among the first Muslims known as Sabiqun Al Awwalun. He was a Badry martyr who sacrificed his life in the Battle of Badr Al Kubra also known as Ghawah-e-Badar or The Battle of Badr.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: His father Abd Amro left his tribe to settle in Makkah. In Makkah he developed good relations with the tribe of Abd Al Harith bin Zahra as a result of which Abd al Harith gave his daughter Ni'ma in marriage to Abd Amro. As a result of this union Umair Zish Shamaleyn was born in 594 AD.

paragraph: He was named Umair, Kunniyah Abu Muhammad, title Zi Shamaleyn. His lineage was Umair the son of Abd Amro the son Nazla the son of Amro the son of Ghabshan the son of Salim the son of Malik the son of Isa the son of Harisa Amro the son of Amir Al Khaza’i

paragraph: Section::::Conversion and Hijrat.

paragraph: Little is known about his conversion to Islam, but he accepted Islam before the Hijra. After his conversion he migrated to Madinah (known as Hijra) and became a guest of Sa’ad bin Khuseymah. Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) made him a Mawakhat brother of Yazeed bin Harith. Bin Harith gave his daughter in marriage to Umair from whom he had a son and a daughter named Umair and Rayta respectively, hence title Ze Shamaleyn.

paragraph: Section::::Hadith.

paragraph: Sunan Nasai, Book of Sahu, Hadith no. 1229 and 1231.

paragraph: Section::::Quranic Ayat.

paragraph: Muhammad gave his sermons irrespective of cast, creed or wealth. The chieftains and rich among the Meccans, namely both sons of Rabia i.e. Atabah and Sheba, Mata’am the son Adi, Harith son of Nofil, Qarta son of Umro and the Chieftains of Abd Manaf all gathered and went to Abu Talib requesting Shamalain to ask Muhammad to distance himself from common poor folk and the miserable, as only then would they visit his gatherings. They told Abu Talib that if Muhammad were to do so they would have great respect for him, visit his sermons and maybe understand his teachings. Abu Talib took their message to Muhammad. Umar Al Khattab commented that nothing was wrong with their demand and that Muhammad should accept this. This incident inspired Ayat 6:53. The poorest companions that the racist and rich chieftains wanted to discard in addition to Amro Zish Shamalain were Bilal, Ammar, Salim Sabih, Masood and Ibn Masood, Miqdad, Waqid and Yazeed.

paragraph: Section::::Martyrdom.

paragraph: After Shamalain came to Madina he participated in the Battle of Badr Al Kubra. This was his first and last "Ghazwa". In this battle he sacrificed his life for Islam and became a Badry martyr, a holiness shared by only fourteen others. It is said that his Yazid bin Harith didn't leave him even in death and both were martyred together in the battle. Shamalain was only 30 at the time of his martyrdom. He was martyred at the hands of Abu Usama Jushmi and his pact brother Yazid bin Harith.

paragraph: Pentawer

paragraph: Pentawer (or "Pentaweret") was an ancient Egyptian prince of the 20th Dynasty, a son of Pharaoh Ramesses III and a secondary wife, Tiye. He was involved in the so-called "harem conspiracy", a plot to kill his father and place him on the throne. He either killed himself or was executed following the assassination of Ramesses III.

paragraph: Section::::Conspiracy.

paragraph: Pentawer was to be the beneficiary of the harem conspiracy, probably initiated by his mother Tiye, to assassinate the pharaoh. Tiye wanted her son to succeed the pharaoh, even though the chosen heir was a son of the chief queen Iset Ta-Hemdjert. According to the Judicial Papyrus of Turin, Pentawer was among those who were made to stand trial for their participation in the conspiracy. It is likely that he was forced to kill himself. The papyrus refers to this laconically:

paragraph: "They [i.e. the judges] left him in his place, he took his own life."

paragraph: Historian Susan Redford speculates that Pentawer, being a noble, was given the option to kill himself by taking poison and so be spared the humiliating fate of some of the other conspirators who would have been burned alive with their ashes strewn in the streets. Such punishment served to make a strong example since it emphasized the gravity of their treason for ancient Egyptians who believed that one could only attain an afterlife if one's body was mummified and preserved — rather than being destroyed by fire. In other words, not only were the criminals killed in the physical world, but they also did not attain an afterlife. They would have no chance of living on into the next world, and thus suffered a complete personal annihilation. By killing himself, Pentawer could avoid the harsher punishment of a second death. This could have permitted him to be mummified and move on to the afterlife. A recent study of remains believed to be his suggest, however, that he was strangled or hanged. If the remains indeed are his, then he would have been about 18 years old at the time of his death.

paragraph: Section::::Probable mummy.

paragraph: In recent times, the Egyptologist Bob Brier has revived the old hypothesis that the famed mummy of the "Unknown Man E" found in the Deir el-Bahari cache (DB320) might, indeed, be Pentawer. The mummy is very unusual because it appears to have been embalmed quickly, without removing the brain and viscera, and to have been placed in a cedar box, the interior of which had to be crudely hacked to widen it. Brier hypothesizes that Pentawer was mummified very rapidly and placed in an available coffin, likely by a relative, in order to give him a proper burial.

paragraph: Subsequent DNA analysis supports the theory that the mummy was a son of Ramesses. According to the study, they both share the paternal Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1a. According to Dr. Zink, one of the scientists who undertook the test: "From our genetic analysis we could really prove the two were closely related. They share the same Y chromosome and 50% of their genetic material, which is typical of a father-son relationship."

paragraph: Bartholomeus van Bassen

paragraph: Bartholomeus Corneliszoon van Bassen (1590–1652) was a Dutch Golden Age painter and architect.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Van Bassen was the illegitimate son of Cornelis van Bassen and the grandson of Bartholt Ernst van Bassen, who both lived and died in The Hague. Little is known of his early life, but according to the Netherlands Institute for Art History he became a member of the Delft Guild of St. Luke in 1613. In 1622 he moved to The Hague, where he became a member of The Hague Guild of St. Luke two years later and where he became dean in 1627 and headman in 1636 and 1640. He is known for his architectural works, sometimes with staffage by the painters Anthonie Palamedesz, Esaias van de Velde, and Jan Martszen de Jonge.

paragraph: In 1638 he became city architect of the Hague. He worked on the summer palace Huis Honselaarsdijk for Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange (torn down after being used as a military hospital during the War of 1812), the restoration of the City Hall, and from 1649 onwards he was involved with building the Nieuwe Kerk.

paragraph: Van Bassen was also involved in a number of nationwide architectural projects. His most important building was "Het Koningshuis", the summer palace of Frederick V, Elector Palatine. Called "King of Bohemia" for one winter, he is remembered in the Netherlands as the "Winterkoning" for this reason. His summer palace was in the town of Rhenen, near Utrecht, and it was built to Bassen's design in 1629-1631. This palace, like Honselaarsdijk, was also used as a military hospital during the War of 1812 and was torn down soon after.

paragraph: He kept a workshop and took on pupils, most notably Gerard Houckgeest and Jan van der Vucht. He died in The Hague.

paragraph: Gus Heinze

paragraph: Gus Heinze (born May 1, 1926 in Bremen, Germany) is an American photorealist painter.

paragraph: Section::::Early work.

paragraph: From 1947-1950, Heinze studied under Robert Weaver, Howard Trafton, and Robert Ward Johnson at the School of Visual Arts and the Art Students League in New York.

paragraph: During the 1950s and 1960s he worked as a freelance commercial artist on Madison Avenue. In 1970 he began his career as a photorealist painter in Bondville, Vermont; many of his paintings from this period depict parts of automobiles and motorcycles in close-up.

paragraph: Section::::"Abstract realism".

paragraph: In 1978 Heinze relocated to Marin County, California, and began exploring more diverse subjects. He increasingly moved toward storefront-window and city scenes, in a style that he calls "abstract realism,"

paragraph: where the subject is real but the point of view and composition give the painting an abstract quality — resulting in a kind of reverse trompe l'oeil. As his works can appear half-real, half-abstract, it is not surprising that the artist himself describes abstract realism as "a total oxymoron."

paragraph: In addition to his urban subjects, Heinze has also painted dilapidated farm equipment such as tractors and water pumps, and old trains and locomotive engines; in "Exactitude: Hyperrealist Art Today," John Russell Taylor writes that "Heinze is fascinated by decaying machinery left behind as the detritus of the Industrial Revolution. The forms are powerful, if inscrutable." He has also done series of paintings depicting rocky cliffsides, vineyard grapes, and streams; much of his subject matter is characterized by complex reflections off glass or water, intricate foliage, and deep background blacks with saturated colors in the foreground. In "Photorealism at the Millennium," Louis K. Meisel writes that Heinze "has not settled into any particular subject matter or point of view. This makes his work less distinctive and recognizable than that of other photorealists, but it also provides him with an added degree of freedom."

paragraph: Heinze's paintings have been featured in the books "The Martini" and "The Cigar," both by Barnaby Conrad III.

paragraph: In 1999 he began collaborating with Magnolia Editions to produce lithographic reproductions.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Early life.

paragraph: Jared Evan Siegel grew up in Great Neck, New York. He started out by playing the drums, dreaming to one day become the next Keith Moon. Initially wanting to be a professional drummer, Jared eventually began taking on several other talents. He later became heavily influenced by seminal hip hop artists such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def, Kool G Rap, and A Tribe Called Quest. He studied early hip hop while also taking musical cues from his alternative and r&b/soul influences such as Thom Yorke, Cream, Bradley Nowell, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, James Brown and others. His early years were troubled and music provided a therapeutic outlet for him.

paragraph: Later, Jared focused more on producing and songwriting. He started to incorporate raps, while introducing melodic undertones over his own production. In 2008 at the age of 18, Jared won the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival's Spit 16 competition curated by" The Source".

paragraph: It was around this time where Jared started interning at The FADER in New York City. He gave his then mixtape "Radio In My Head" to friend and acclaimed Hip Hop director Rik Cordero (whom he met while interning at The FADER). Rik and Jared started creating visually stunning music videos to complement Jared's sound. These videos were then circulated to the top music executives and within weeks Jared had several major label offers.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Career.

paragraph: In June 2009, Jared decided to sign with Zone 4/Interscope with the support of Jimmy Iovine. In October 2009, Jared was featured in "Billboard" as an "Under the radar artist with the potential to break into the big time."

paragraph: In August 2010, Interscope released the single, "In Love with You." In March 2011, the song was aired on the Greek television show "Radio Arvyla" and because of this, it met great success, reaching No. 1 overall on the Greek iTunes charts. During this time, he had also worked with some of his musical heroes such as Pharrell, Chad Hugo, Dr. Dre and Mike Elizondo.

paragraph: In the Spring of 2011, Jared joined OneRepublic on a nationwide tour. At the end of 2011, Jared opted out of his contract with Interscope. He split ways with the label expressing that they were not supporting his true vision thoroughly. After leaving and going independent, Jared formed a passionate cult fan base.

paragraph: In 2012, Jared released his debut project entitled "The 4th Chapter". It was released to fans for free online.

paragraph: He then helped write and produce a large portion of Hoodie Allen's mixtape "Crew Cuts", before releasing his collaboration album with Statik Selektah entitled "Boom Bap & Blues" on February 26, 2013. It features artists like Joey Badass and Action Bronson, amongst several others. It was originally released as a free album through Jared's website, although days later the album debuted at No. 29 on the iTunes R&B/Soul charts. Within a couple of hours it shot to No. 8. "Boom Bap & Blues" is said to be some of Jared's best work and has become critically acclaimed.

paragraph: Georg Pencz

paragraph: Georg Pencz (c. 1500 – 11 October 1550) was a German engraver, painter and printmaker.

paragraph: Pencz was probably born in Westheim near Bad Windsheim/Franconia. He travelled to Nuremberg in 1523 and joined Albrecht Dürer’s atelier. Like Dürer, he visited Italy and was profoundly influenced by Venetian art; it is believed he worked with Marcantonio Raimondi. In 1525, he was imprisoned with the brothers Barthel Beham and Hans Sebald Beham, the so-called "godless painters", for spreading the radical views of Thomas Müntzer by asserting disbelief in baptism, Christ and transubstantiation. The three were pardoned shortly afterwards and became part of the group known as the "Little Masters" because of their tiny, intricate and influential prints.

paragraph: In Nuremberg, influenced by works he had seen in Italy, Pencz painted a number of "trompe l'oeil" ceilings in the houses of patrician families; one, for which a drawing survives, showed workmen raising building materials on a hoist, against an open sky, to create the illusion that the room was still under construction.

paragraph: Around 1539, Pencz briefly returned to Italy, visiting Rome for the first time, returning to Nuremberg in 1540, where he became the city painter and earned his greatest success as a portraitist. As an engraver, he ranks among the best of the German “Little Masters”. Notable prints include "Six Triumphs of Petrarch" and "Life of Christ" (26 plates). The best of his paintings are portraits, such as "Portrait of a Young Man ", "Portrait of Marshal Schirmer" and "Portrait of Erhard Schwetzer and his wife".

paragraph: In 1550, he was named court painter by Albert, Duke of Prussia, but died in Leipzig before arriving at the court.

paragraph: Sakai Tadatsugu

paragraph: Section::::Sakai clan genealogy.

paragraph: The Sakai clan originated in 14th century Mikawa Province, claiming descent from Minamoto Arichika. Arichika had two sons: one of them, Yasuchika, took the name Matsudaira; and the younger, Chikauji, took the name Sakai.

paragraph: Sakai Hirochika, who was the son of Chikauji, likewise had two sons, and their descendants gave rise to the two main branches of the Sakai clan. Tadatsugu was heir to the senior branch of the clan.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Tadatsugu was born in 1527 to Sakai Tadachika, a hereditary vassal of the Matsudaira clan of Mikawa Province. When Tadatsugu came of age, he first served Tokugawa Ieyasu's father, Matsudaira Hirotada. After 1560, when Ieyasu broke off his ties with the Imagawa clan, Tadatsugu was given command of the Yoshida Castle in eastern Mikawa (present-day Toyohashi).

paragraph: During that time, it is said Tadatsugu killed a boar with his katana, earning it the name of the "Inokiri" (猪切 "the Boar Slayer"). The blade itself was a work of Masazane from the Tegai school of Nara, and a colleague of the famous Muramasa (or maybe another name for Muramasa himself). Masazane also authored "Tonbōgiri" (蜻蛉切 "the Dragonfly Slayer"), the most famous of the Three Great Spears of Japan (天下三名槍), favourite weapon of Honda Tadakatsu, another one of the Tokugawa Shitennō.

paragraph: In 1572, during the Battle of Mikatagahara, Tadatsugu secured the Tokugawa's right flank, seeing his troops being badly beaten by the opposing Takeda forces; and when Ieyasu and his allies retreated to Hamamatsu Castle, Tadatsugu participated in the ruse which mitigated the effects of Takeda victory in the field; and the Takeda forces withdrew.

paragraph: During the Battle of Nagashino, he led a successful night attack against the Takeda. By 1567, the majority of "daimyō" forces in the Tokugawa armies were organized in two divisions, each with a separate commander. Tadatsugu was placed over the forces of 18 Tokugawa "daimyō"-vassals and his counterpart, Ishikawa Kazumasa, was given command over the forces of 13 "daimyō"-vassals. Tadatsugu's qualities of proven loyalty, reliability, and leadership are demonstrably illustrated in this degree of delegated powers and authority.

paragraph: In 1578, Tadatsugu's son, Sakai Ietsugu (1564–1619), took over his father's role as castellan of Yoshida Castle. The "ie-" in the beginning of Ietsugu's name was a special honor bestowed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, a special reward for special vassals, allowing them to use one of the "kanji" from his "Nanori" name.

paragraph: During the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute, he successfully turned back a move by Toyotomi Hideyoshi against Kiyosu Castle, which was led by Toyotomi commander Mori Nagayoshi. In 1590, during the Odawara Campaign, Tadatsugu was ordered to accompany Tokugawa Hidetada, Ieyasu's son and heir, to Kyoto, where he served as hostage for Ieyasu's loyalty to the Toyotomi during that campaign. After the battle, Hideyoshi ordered to Tokugawa clan to relocate from their ancestral holdings to the Kantō region. Tadatsugu went into retirement, but his son Ietsugu received a 30,000 "koku" "fudai" fief at Usui, in Shimōsa Province, and Tadasugu accompanied them there.

paragraph: Tadatsugu died in Kyoto in the winter of 1596. After Tadatsugu's death, the Sakai clan continued to prosper. In 1604, his descendants moved to Takasaki Domain (50,000 "koku") in Kōzuke Province; in 1616, they relocated to Takata Domain (100,000 "koku") in Echigo Province; in 1619, they were transferred to Matsushiro Domain in Shinano Province; and then, from 1622 through 1868, they were installed at Tsurugaoka Domain (120,000 "koku") in Dewa Province. The head of the Sakai clan was ennobled as a "Count" in the Meiji period.

paragraph: Vintilă Russu-Șirianu

paragraph: Vintilă Russu-Șirianu (April 20, 1897–?) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian journalist, memoirist and translator.

paragraph: Born in Arad, his father was journalist and activist Ioan Russu-Șirianu. After attending high school in his native city, he left for Bucharest, capital of the Romanian Old Kingdom. He enrolled in the Conservatory and at Bucharest University's medical faculty, but completed neither. He took part in World War I as an officer in the Romanian Army; in the temporary capital of Iași, while visiting the homes of Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea, Nicolae Iorga, Take Ionescu and Osvald Teodoreanu, he became acquainted with Robert de Flers, whom he later assisted in Paris. After the end of the war and his native province's union with Romania, he returned to Bucharest, completing the literature and philosophy faculty. He was technical secretary at the Cultural League for the Unity of All Romanians, librarian for the Romanian Academy, editor at "Flacăra", secretary to Octavian Goga and an opinion journalist. From 1923 to 1924, he was secretary of the Romanian Writers' Union, in which capacity he organized a number of tournaments and soirées.

paragraph: He made his literary debut in 1919, and then sporadically contributed poems and articles to "Flacăra", "Gândirea", "Cugetul românesc", "Adevărul literar", "Cuvântul liber" and "Rampa". In 1927, he left for Paris, where he edited the monthly "Revue Franco-Roumaine" magazine. While there, he not only became acquainted with nearly the entire French literary establishment, but also with local Romanian émigrés (including George Enescu, Constantin Brâncuși, Panait Istrati, Elena Văcărescu, Marthe Bibesco, Ilarie Voronca, Nicolae Titulescu and Marioara Ventura). His 1969 memoir, "Vinurile lor...", features lively, finely drawn recollections of these individuals. With Alexandru Băbeanu, he wrote the play "Biruitorul", which was staged at the National Theatre Bucharest in 1924. After the King Michael Coup of 1944, he and Cezar Petrescu dramatized the latter's novel "Ochii strigoiului" and wrote "Mânzul nebun". In 1947 and under the imminent rise of the communist regime, he penned plays for workers and local cultural stages. These are thoroughly obsolete today, as are his poems, anthologized in 1972 as "Îmi amintesc de aceste versuri" with the assistance of Mihai Gafița. He capably translated Honoré de Balzac ("Gobseck") and Roger Martin du Gard ("The Thibaults"). Pen names he used include V. R. Ș., Ion Dacu and D. Dinu.

paragraph: Iñaki Antón

paragraph: Iñaki Antón González (; August 3, 1964), also known by his stage name Uoho, is a Spanish musician, songwriter and record producer. He was the lead guitarist of Platero y Tú, and now is a member of Extremoduro and his solo project, Inconscientes.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Iñaki Antón González was born on August 3, 1964 in Bilbao. He spent his youth at Zabala (Bilbao), where he met his Platero y Tú bandmates. He started with classical music learning piano. At 14 or 15 years old started to listen to classic rock bands such as Deep Purple or Status Quo and at 17 or 18 he learned to play guitar self-taught.

paragraph: He started playing with Juantxu Olano in a band called "Ke" and they recorded a four songs demo tape.

paragraph: Marv Throneberry

paragraph: Marvin Eugene Throneberry (September 2, 1933 – June 23, 1994) was an American Major League Baseball player. Affectionately known as "Marvelous Marv", he was the starting first baseman for the 1962 New York Mets, a team which set the modern record for most losses in a season with 120.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: The left handed batting and throwing native of Fisherville, Tennessee was a two time all-city baseball player at South Side High School in Memphis, Tennessee. After turning down an offer to play alongside his older brother, Faye, with the Boston Red Sox, he signed as an amateur free agent with the New York Yankees in May .

paragraph: Section::::Minor league slugger.

paragraph: Throneberry played the outfield early in his minor league career, and shifted to first base in with the Kansas City Blues. He was one of the most feared minor league sluggers of the 1950s, and led the Blues with 21 home runs. The following season, he led the triple A American Association with 36 home runs and 117 runs batted in as a member of the Denver Bears. That September, he received a call up to the Casey Stengel led New York Yankees. Throneberry made his major league debut as a pinch runner for Eddie Robinson on September 25, at Fenway Park. He remained in the game at first, and hit a sacrifice fly that scored Andy Carey in his first major league plate appearance. In his first official at bat in the seventh inning, Throneberry hit a bases loaded double that scored two more, and later came around to score himself on a Bob Cerv single. All told, Throneberry went 2-for-2, with a double, run scored and three RBIs. His brother struck out three times for the Red Sox in the same game.

paragraph: He returned to the Denver Bears in , and once again led the American Association with 42 home runs and 145 RBIs. The following season, he clubbed 40 home runs, and drove in 124, tying an American Association record for leading the league in home runs and RBIs for three consecutive seasons.

paragraph: Section::::New York Yankees.

paragraph: Throneberry made it back to the majors for good in . He collected his first hit of the season, a double off the Baltimore Orioles' Ken Lehman in his tenth at bat. Seeing most of his action as a pinch hitter or late inning defensive replacement at first, an injury to Bill Skowron on May 11 landed Throneberry in the starting line up through the rest of May. He hit his first major league home run off the Chicago White Sox's Bill Fischer on May 20. For the season, Throneberry batted .227 with seven home runs & 19 RBIs in 60 games. He reached the post season for the only time in his career as a rookie, and was struck out by Lew Burdette in his only at bat of the World Series.

paragraph: Though he saw more playing time in , he was batting just .184 with three home runs & ten RBIs when Skrowron's season was ended by a fractured wrist. Throneberry responded by batting .286 with five home runs and twelve RBIs the rest of the way. After the season, he was part of the blockbuster trade that sent 1956 World Series hero Don Larsen, Hank Bauer and Norm Siebern to the Kansas City Athletics for power-hitting outfielder Roger Maris, Joe DeMaestri and Kent Hadley.

paragraph: Section::::Kansas City A's.

paragraph: Siebern was an outfielder with the Yankees, but was shifted into a lefty-righty platoon with Throneberry at first base by A's manager Bob Elliott. Facing almost exclusively right-handed pitching, Throneberry batted .250 with eleven home runs and 41 RBIs in . At home at Kansas City Municipal Stadium, Throneberry batted .303 with 26 RBIs. On the road, his batting average fell to .205. Midway through the season, he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for left fielder Gene Stephens.

paragraph: Section::::Baltimore Orioles.

paragraph: With an All-Star MVP candidate who batted left handed in Jim Gentile at first base, the Orioles used Throneberry mostly as a pinch hitter or in right field. On June 13, his ninth inning pinch hit single drove in Dick Hall for the walk off victory over the Washington Senators. On June 27, he went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBIs against his former teammates in Kansas City to lead the O's to a 5-3 victory. Seventeen games into the season, the Orioles traded him to the expansion New York Mets for a player to be named later and cash. The Mets sent catcher Hobie Landrith, their first selection in the 1961 Major League Baseball expansion draft, to the Orioles to complete the deal.

paragraph: Section::::New York Mets.

paragraph: Reunited with Manager Casey Stengel, Throneberry got his first chance as a regular. On May, in his first game as a Met, Throneberry went 1-for-4, and scored a run in the ninth in an 8-5 loss to the Milwaukee Braves. He would not see home plate again until June 9, when he went 3-for-4 with a run scored and his first RBI as a Met in an 11-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

paragraph: The 1962 Mets may not have won many games, but these "Lovable losers" won the hearts of sports fans, and no one exemplified that more than Throneberry. Many humorous stories surfaced about Throneberry, who facetiously came to be known as "Marvelous Marv". While it is likely that many of these stories are exaggerated or false, they helped turn Throneberry into almost legendary status among Mets fans. The fact of his initials spelling "MET" accentuated all anecdotes. Throneberry, maintained a sense of humor about his play, and became a favorite with fans and the media (after the season, he received the Ben Epstein Memorial "Good Guy" Award). At one point he had a fan club which numbered around 5,000 members. They wore shirts with the word "VRAM" (Marv backwards) and took up chanting "Cranberry, Strawberry, we love Throneberry."

paragraph: In one famous story, on June 17, Throneberry hit a triple against the Cubs, but was called out after Ernie Banks took a relay throw and stepped on second base. "Didn't touch the bag, you know, Dusty", Banks told umpire Dusty Boggess. According to the legend, Throneberry was called out at second and Stengel came out to argue the call, but he was told by the umpire "Don't bother arguing Casey, he missed first base, too." (In another version of the story, Stengel was told this by his first-base coach.) Stengel, after a pause, supposedly replied, "Well, I know he touched third base because he's standing on it!" The next batter, Charlie Neal, hit a home run, prompting Stengel to come out of the dugout following him and pointing at all four bases. Throneberry's mistake proved costly, as the Cubs won the game 8–7.

paragraph: In the second game of a June 22 doubleheader with fellow expansion club, the Houston Colt .45's, Throneberry committed three of six Mets errors. On August 2, Throneberry had his only career two home run game in a 9-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

paragraph: His 16 home runs and 49 RBIs in 1962 were both career highs, however, he also committed 17 errors at first base. His fielding percentage of .981 would not be equaled by a major-league regular first baseman until César Cedeño fielded .981 in 1979 for the Houston Astros.

paragraph: During the off-season, the Mets acquired Tim Harkness from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Harkness assumed the starting first base job, with Throneberry relegated to pinch hitting duty. After going just 2-for-15 through May 5, he was demoted to the triple A Buffalo Bisons. While clubbing 16 home runs for Buffalo, he batted just .176. He batted .083 in eight games in before being released.

paragraph: Section::::Career statistics.

paragraph: /div

paragraph: Throneberry hit 201 minor league home runs with a .269 batting average. With the exception of one rough year defensively, Throneberry was no worse than average with his career fielding percentage and range factor (8.01) as a first baseman.

paragraph: Section::::Miller Lite commercials.

paragraph: "Marvelous Marv" later became one of the original spokesmen for Miller Lite beer in the mid 1970s, poking fun at himself in a series of TV commercials. Throneberry's most famous line: "If I do for Lite what I did for baseball, I'm afraid their sales will go down." In another popular ad, after other celebrities are shown, Throneberry is shown at the end, saying: "I still don't know why they asked me to do this commercial."

paragraph: Columnist Jimmy Breslin quipped, "Having Marv Throneberry play for your team is like having Willie Sutton work for your bank."

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Throneberry died of cancer on June 23, in Fisherville, Tennessee, at age 60. He and his wife, Dixie had five children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. One of his grandchildren is filmmaker Craig Brewer. In , he was inducted in the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Alexander Bazhbeuk-Melikyan

paragraph: Alexander Bazhbeuk-Melikyan (, , ; 11 September 1891 – 20 July 1966) was a Soviet Georgian artist, graphic designer and sculptor of Armenian origin.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Alexander Alexandrovich Bazhbeuk-Melikyan was born in Tbilisi, Georgia. In 1903, he began his studies at the School of Art and Sculpture of the Caucasus Society for the Encouragement for the Fine Arts. Here he made the acquaintance of a fellow student, Lado Gudiashvili. In 1910, he travelled to Moscow to begin training in the studio of the artist V. N. Meshkov. The following year, he joined the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.

paragraph: In 1913, Bazhbeuk-Melikyan was drafted into the Imperial Russian Army, and spent the World War I years on the Odessa front.

paragraph: In 1917, he returned to Tbilisi and began his own independent artistic career.

paragraph: In 1919, he met his first wife, Nektar, with whom he had one daughter, Lavinia. From a later marriage to Lydia Meshkorudnikova, he had two more children: a son, Vazgen, and a daughter, Zuleika Bazhbeuk-Melikyan. Both daughters were to become artists in their own right.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Between 1922 and 1929 Bazhbeuk-Melikyan taught at the studio of Mose Toidze, following which he taught at the Georgian Academy of Arts till 1938.

paragraph: In the 1920s, Bazhbeuk-Melikyan was an active participant in the Tbilisi avant-garde, collaborating with Futurists such as the poet Kara-Darvish, and Georgian painters such as David Kakabadze.

paragraph: In 1935, Bazhbeuk-Melikyan became friends with the nationalist poets Yegishe Charents and Titian Tabidze, which led to the attention of the NKVD. When, in 1937, the newspaper "Dawn of the East" published an article naming him an enemy of the people, he was expelled from the Union of Artists of Georgia. Charents and Tabidze were both executed that same year, and Bazhbeuk-Melikyan lived in fear of arrest. That did not come to pass, and when he painted his "Spanish guerrillas" in support of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, he was rehabilitated.

paragraph: In 1961, he was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic.

paragraph: His family estimates that Bazhbeuk-Melikyan painted over two thousand canvases, but ruthlessly pruned them down to about a hundred. Given his perfectionism, every time he created a new work, he would go over his old paintings and destroy any that did not meet his uncompromising standard. When his daughter Lavinia created a catalogue of his paintings in 1936, there were 110 pieces. In 1966, after his death, there still were only 110 works remaining.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Artistic Style.

paragraph: Bazhbeuk-Melikyan is noted for his depiction of the female figure: magicians, jugglers, exotically costumed women, and nudes. Like his friend Gudiashvili, he painted voluptuous women, but his were more intensely executed and more passionate. He led a quiet protest against the prudish Soviet authorities who had a puritanical attitude to sex. Influenced by Böcklin, he created carefully finished canvases; later works, inspired by Rembrandt, were more luscious. His works were executed with dynamic and impulsive strokes and impermeated with colour, following the colorists of the previous centuries.

paragraph: The circus theme occupied an important place in his oeuvre from his earliest years, and he dedicated much of his talent to its poetic and magical world. In the circus, he saw the ancient traditions that had survived to his day, and admired the plastic beauty of its presentations. At the same time, Bazhbeuk-Melikyan was inspired by the unique life of the old quarters of the Transcaucasian cities, which he painted in canvases such as the "Courtyard with a bear" (1925), and "Mill in Ortachalah" (1930). Until the mid-1930s, the artist, as a rule, chose a dark color scheme that hearkened back to the paintings of classical artists. He loved the interplay of contrast that would unexpectedly and dramatically light up aspects of figures and objects. He combined the acute sensibility of a modern artist with his own personal whimsy. The worlds he created were romantic. In the eternal themes that had appeared to be depleted over the century, he found a new and unexpected twist: in his interpretation, they were infused with a modern feel.

paragraph: The range of subjects Bazhbeuk-Melikyan painted remained fairly stable. He repeatedly varied his favorite motifs. But over the years the nature of the emotional structure of his paintings changed. Romantic mystery and ambiguity gradually gave way in the 1940s to a more immediate, impulsive style. The monochrome colour scheme which corresponded to his first perceptions was replaced by a bright multicoloured palette.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Exhibitions.

paragraph: In 1919, along with Lado Gudiashvili , he opened an exhibition of his works in Tbilisi.

paragraph: In 1935, he held his first solo exhibition in Yerevan, Armenia. This attracted much attention among the Armenian intelligentsia, who were still unfamiliar with his work. The exhibition was a huge success. Lilya Brik wrote that it was an "unexpected joy".

paragraph: In 1968, a posthumous exhibition was organised in Tbilisi, Moscow and Yerevan.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In the 1960s, Bazhbeuk-Melikyan made frequent trips to Yerevan, where he met, befriended and encouraged young Armenian artists, including Minas Avetissian.

paragraph: Between 1964 and 1966, although in poor health, he continued to work.

paragraph: Bazhbeuk-Melikyan died on 20 July 1966 in Tbilisi.

paragraph: Section::::In The News.
