<mask> (1801–1876) was one of the three founder partners of Phelps, Dodge & Co., a New York trading organisation established in 1833/4, exporting cotton to England and importing manufactured goods in return such as tin, tin plate, iron and copper. <mask> was born in America but was to live in Liverpool for 47 years running the British side of the business called Phelps, James & Co. The company was to dominate the export market of tinplate from the United Kingdom for three-quarters of a century at a time when Wales was the centre of world production. Early life
<mask>, born in Truxton, New York, was a wholesale grocer who in 1829 married Elizabeth Woodbridge Phelps (born 1807) daughter of merchant Anson Greene Phelps (born 1781). In 1831, <mask> moved to Liverpool with his wife to replace Anson Phelps's existing partner – Elisha Peck – who had spent fifteen years in the job and wanted to return to America. Partnership
The Phelps, Peck & Co partnership ended in 1833, when the building housing their New York warehouse collapsed. To revive the business Phelps set up the partnership with his two sons-in-law <mask> and William Earle Dodge, Sr., forming Phelps, Dodge & Co. in the US and Phelps, James & Co. in England.Phelps was the senior partner in this arrangement with a two-thirds interest and the remainder split between the sons-in-law. In 1837 Phelps's daughter Caroline (1812–1881), whose fiancé, Josiah Stokes, had been killed in the building collapse, married his brother <mask> and he would eventually (in 1847) be the third son-in-law of Anson G Phelps to join the organisation as a partner with a 15% share. He would leave in 1878 to enter the banking business. The American side of the business was to remain in family control into the next century, although in Britain <mask> made his assistant - Thomas Morris Banks (b 1796) - a partner in Phelps, James & Co. When their father-in-law Phelps died in

 1853, <mask> and William Earle Dodge Sr. purchased his holdings and absorbed his son's share when he died some years later. <mask> would continue to live in England but was said to have gone frequently to America for extended holidays and consultation with his partners. From about 1835 Phelps, Dodge & Co. were heavily involved with selling timber extracted from lands they had purchased in Pennsylvania and it became their largest subsidiary operation.<mask>'s brother, Henry (1821–1897), joined this business in about 1842, and eventually ran the outlet operation for Phelps, Dodge from Baltimore under the company name of Henry James & Co.

Life in Liverpool

In the first few years of business <mask> faced difficult times in Liverpool. A recession that started in 1837 in both America and Britain brought the company to the point of ruin and lasted several years. His wife died in 1847 and his eldest son was killed in a carriage accident whilst visiting his grandfather in America. <mask> remarried in 1849 to Sophia Hitchcock. At this time his surviving son - <mask> <mask> - moved to America to further his education and become a member of Phelps, Dodge & Co.

<mask> and Sofia had three children: Frank Linsly (b. 1851 d.1890), John Arthur (b. 1853 d.1917) and William Dodge (b.1854 d.1912) who all grew up and were educated in Britain. Linsly became an explorer and was killed in Africa by a wounded elephant in 1890. Both Arthur and William married into British society and lived in English country houses on the inherited wealth of their father. Arthur's main residence was Coton House near Rugby and William's was West Dean House, West Sussex. The death of Frank came as a terrible blow to both Arthur and his brother William. As a memorial, he and Arthur funded the building of a hospital for mariners in the town of East Cowes, Isle of Wight, named the Frank James Memorial Hospital. Sophia Hall Hitchcock died in

 1870 and in 1871, <mask> married his children’s former governess Ruth Lancaster Dickinson (b.1824-d.1907). In 1866 <mask> took British citizenship in order to buy the house that became his final home - Beaconsfield, Woolton, Liverpool. Cotton Famine Relief
In 1862 the import of cotton to the UK dried up due to the blockade of the Confederate ports by the Union's navy during the civil war. This resulted in great hardship for the workers and families associated with the cotton manufacturing industry. Relief funds were set up in the northern states of America to support the UK cotton workers. Donation were made by American businesses and individuals amounting to $350,000, and this was used to purchase foodstuffs in America including flour and preserved meats. <mask> was appointed the chairman of the Liverpool committee, responsible for receiving the shipments, offloading and distributing the food.In addition he negotiated with transport companies and government agencies to exempt charges and duties where possible in the UK. Moiety scandal

In December 1872, <mask> arrived at his office to be greeted by a newspaper article that read: Phelps, Dodge & Co., New York. — This great firm have had their books and papers seized by the United States for alleged frauds on the revenue to the amount of $1,750,000. The shock was such that there were concerns for his health and even a year later he had not fully recovered. The events that led up to this involved a Phelps Dodge employee in New York who noticed a discrepancy in the declaration made to the Customs House. This resulted in an underpayment of import duty. He removed the pages from the ledger and took them to an agent of the Custom House called B. G. Jayne.He was empowered in law to seize the entire value of the import from Phelps Dodge if the case against them was proven. The Custom House received 50% of any money recovered in this way and the remainder

 was split between Jayne, his associates and the informer. This system had been in place for many years and was referred to as Moiety. Jayne made an unannounced visit to the Phelps Dodge office and seized their books. Later he informed them that they were liable to pay a forfeit of $1,750,000. Without access to his ledgers, the senior partner of the firm, William E. Dodge, was unable to verify the underpayment of duty and was forced to reach a settlement with Jayne of $271,000. When the ledgers were returned to Phelps Dodge they discovered that the underpayment was as little as $1664.68.The reason for this discrepancy had been the difference of the value of the goods declared in Liverpool and the eventual market value in America, which had fallen. The apparent injustice of the fine against Phelps Dodge, one of the most respected merchant firms in America, became a public scandal. William E. Dodge appeared before the House of Representative’s Ways and Means Committee in Washington in 1874 when they investigate the Moiety system. Jayne was also called and he was questioned about his associates and eventually admitted that the lawyer he used was General Benjamin Franklin Butler. He was asked to appear before the committee but due to illness refused. At a later date (June 19, 1874) Butler addressed the House of Representatives on the matter and was highly critical of Phelps Dodge and in particular <mask>. However, his accusations were totally unfounded in fact and other members of the House rounded on him.His speech also gave member of the House the opportunity to raise the issue of his involvement in the Sanborn scandal where large sums of recovered Government money went into private hands. See also the article Anti-Moiety Acts for additional information. Legacy

texts: manufacturing in American. He wrote to his brother-in-law that "a merchant ought not to be a manufacturer". Again in 1857 a similar situation arose and this time his son expressed concern: “The place for all the Capital we have is in the business, and not in pine lands, factories, Lackawanna R R or Iron concerns”. <mask> was a worrier and unlike his partners did not have the inclination or temperament for risk taking. However, he was suited to be a merchant and a very good one.From 1833 to 1873 his Liverpool end of the business procured and exported over $300,000,000 worth of metal to America, he also imported and sold cotton to the mills in Lancashire. In 1859 his long term friend and business partner in Liverpool - Thomas Banks - died. Phelps, James & Co. dominated the export of tinplate from the UK. In America the imported tinplate was used for manufacturing such things as roofing, tools, machinery, cans, cutlery, skillets, pots, pans, pitchers, plates, washing boards, bathtubs, etc. <mask> continued to run the business until his death in 1876 leaving a solid foundation from which the next generation would build, not in mercantile. During the 1880s and beyond his son and William E Dodge Jr. developed vast copper mining enterprises in Arizona and extending railroads to meet the growing demands from an expanding USA. Two years after <mask> died, his partner William E Dodge Sr. retired and the Stokes family left the business.On 31 December 1878 the existing Phelps, James & Co partnership officially 'expired'. Charles Berjew Brooke became the representative in the UK for Phelps James & Co for the final 25 years of its existence. and the business was eventually closed on 31 December 1906. <mask>, like his partners was a religious man.

Just as <mask> became successful he lost his first wife Elizabeth. She had not enjoyed the best of health and died in 1847. She was buried in the Liverpool Necropolis, a cemetery built on the outskirts of the expanding and overcrowded city. <mask> remarried in 1849 to Sophia Hitchcock and when she died in 1870 she was also buried in the Necropolis. <mask> married for a third time at the age of 70 to his children’s former governess. However, she would have known that he still deeply loved his first wife Elizabeth as he chose to be buried with her, and when he died in 1876 his wish was granted. By 1890, the sheer number of burials in the Necropolis had created unsanitary conditions in the surrounding area.The council took control of the site and over a period of several years turned it into a park. The bodies of those buried there were not exhumed but the gravestones and memorials were removed. It was at this time that <mask>’s son from his second marriage – William Dodge <mask> - arranged for the gravestones to be transferred to the church (St Andrew's) just behind his house in West Dean, where they remain today. At the foot of <mask> and Elizabeth's stone is that of <mask>'s second wife Sofia, and daughter from his first marriage - Elizabeth Eccleston <mask>. See also

<mask>v (; also spelled Katayev or Kataiev;  – 12 April 1986) was a Russian and Soviet novelist and playwright who managed to create penetrating works discussing post-revolutionary social conditions without running afoul of the demands of official Soviet style. Kataev is credited with suggesting the idea for The Twelve Chairs to his brother Yevgeni Petrov and Ilya Ilf. In return, Kataev insisted that the novel be dedicated to him, in all editions and translations. Kataev's relentless imagination, sensitivity, and originality made him one of the most distinguished Soviet writers. Life and works
Kataev was born in Odessa (then Russian Empire, now Ukraine) into the family of Pyotr Vasilievich Kataev, a Court councillor and a teacher at the Odessa Female seminary, and Eugenia Ivanovna Bachei who belonged to a noble family of the Poltava Governorate. Thus it's no coincidence that the main character in Kataev's semi-autobiographical novel A White Sail Gleams is named Pyotr Bachei. His father came from a long line of Russian clergy originally from Vyatka where <mask>'s grandfather served as a protoiereus.His maternal grandfather was a major general in the Imperial Russian Army. Despite the obvious class conflict, Kataev never tried to hide his origins during the Soviet period. He began writing while he was still in gimnaziya (high school). He was then a sympathizer of the Union of the Russian People and wrote nationalistic and anti-Semitic poetry (ironically, later in his life he married a Jewish

texts: woman, Esther Brenner (1913-2009)). He did not finish the gimnaziya but volunteered for the army in 1915, serving in the artillery. After the October Revolution he was mobilized into the Red Army, where he fought against General Denikin and served in the Russian Telegraph Agency. In 1920, he became a journalist in Odessa; two years later he moved to Moscow, where he worked on the staff of The Whistle (Gudok), writing humorous pieces under various pseudonyms.His first novel, The Embezzlers (Rastratchiki, 1926), was printed in the journal Krasnaya Nov. In the satire of the new Soviet bureaucracy in the tradition of Gogol, the protagonists are two bureaucrats "who more or less by instinct or by accident conspire to defraud the Soviet state". The novel was well received, and the seminal modernist theater practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski asked Kataev to adapt it for the stage. It was produced at the world-famous Moscow Art Theater, opening on 20 April 1928. A cinematic adaptation was filmed in 1931. His comedy Quadrature of the circle (Kvadratura kruga, 1928) satirizes the effect of the housing shortage on two married couples who share a room. His novel Time, Forward!(Vremya, vperyod!, 1932) describes workers' attempts to build the huge steel plant at Magnitogorsk in record time. "The title...was taken from a poem by Mayakovsky, and its theme is the speeding up of time in the Soviet Union where the historical development of a century must be completed in ten years." The heroes are


texts: described as "being unable to trust such a valuable thing as time, to clocks, mere mechanical devices." Kataev adapted it as a screenplay, which was filmed in 1965. A White Sail Gleams (Beleyet parus odinoky, 1936) treats the 1905 revolution and the Potemkin uprising from the viewpoint of two Odessa schoolboys. In 1937, Vladimir Legoshin directed a film version, which became a classic children's adventure. Kataev wrote its screenplay and took an active part in the filming process, finding locations and acting as an historical advisor.Many of his contemporaries considered the novel to be a prose poem. During the 1950s and 1960s Kataev edited the magazine Yunost (Youth), publishing some of the most promising literary talent of the young generation, including Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Bella Akhmadulina. Kataev himself developed a style he called "lyrical diary," mixing autobiography and fiction. In 1966 the literary magazine Novy Mir printed his The Grass of Oblivion (Trava zabveniya), which was published under the title The Holy Well (Svyatoy kolodets: Trava zabveniya) two years later. In it, Kataev weaves scenes from the lives of his family, friends, and lovers, events of Soviet history, and memories of his travels in America into a kind of stream-of-consciousness autobiography, considered by some critics to be the summary work of his career. Dodona Kiziria describes this work as "a tribute to the Russian writers who were forced to choose their path during the revolution and the civil war",


texts:
 adding that "in all of Soviet literature it would be difficult to find tragic images comparable to the two poets in this narrative (Bunin and Mayakovsky) who are compelled, finally and irrevocably, either to accept or reject the role offered to them by the new social order". Kataev was proud of being a Soviet writer, and related the following account.Dodona Kiziria describes Kataev as "one of the most brilliant writers of modern Russia. Of the authors writing in Russian, only Nabokov could be considered a worthy rival in his ability to convey with almost cinematic precision the images of visually perceived reality.

<mask> (26 November 1894 – 10 April 1939) was a British playwright and author. Biography
He was educated at Bancroft's School, Woodford, Essex, then worked for the Eastern Telegraph Company in Cape Town as a cable operator. Military service
When war broke out in 1914 he resigned his post and returned to UK, taking up a commission in the 12th Essex Regiment as temporary Second Lieutenant on 11 November 1914. He relinquished his commission on 5 May 1915 to transfer into the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), where he was given a probationary commission as Flight Sub-Lieutenant. He trained and qualified in ballooning at Roehampton and observed the second bombardment of Ypres from an observation balloon. However, he became ill when in Dunkirk and suffered a "serious mental breakdown". He received a letter from the Admiralty, dated 15 December 1915, stating that he had been found unsuitable for the Air Service and terminating his appointment.Journalist
He then tried to get work as a journalist and wrote articles for the Daily Mail under the name "Air Pilot", and it was in this capacity that an unfortunate incident occurred which led to him being arrested and tried under the Defence of the Realm Act. On 12 April 1916, <mask> visited Dover and met up with former colleagues in the RNAS, telling them, "I have come to Dover to do a bit of spying for Pemberton Billing". He asked whether officers still lived about two miles from the aerodrome and had to travel there each meal time. He was arrested and appeared at Dover magistrates court on 20 April where, despite pleading not guilty, he was committed for trial at Kent Assizes, charged with "unlawfully attempting to elicit information with respect to the

 movements or disposition of His Majesty's forces (to wit, the Royal Naval Air Service) such as might be of value to the enemy." He was released on bail. At his trial in Maidstone on 22 June he pleaded guilty, and the Lord Chief Justice dealt leniently with him on the basis that he was trying to work for the improvement of the Air Service, and he had no evil motive and was loyal to his country. He was bound over in the sum of £25.<mask> continued as a journalist, but also turned his hand to writing books, drawing upon his experiences in the Air Service to produce Aircraft (1916), The Way of the Air: A Description of Modern Aviation (1917), Glorious exploits of the air (1917), Airfare of to-day and of the future (1918), Tails Up (1918), and The Kingdom of the Air (1919), culminating in The Great War in the Air, a history of the air in the war in four volumes with an introduction by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu which was released in 1920. Marriage
In 1920 he married Yevonde Philone Cumbers (1893–1975), who in 1914 had set up her own studio as Madame Yevonde – Portrait Photographer. During their courtship she offered to relinquish her career for him, but he considered that would be a mistake, to her relief. She was upset on their honeymoon when he told her that he could not bear the thought of children, since she regarded marriage as pointless without children. Nevertheless, she concentrated her efforts instead on her career and went on to become a remarkable pioneer in colour photography in the 1930s. <mask>'s journalistic career continued, with appointments including aeronautical editor of the London Daily Mail, London Correspondent for the New York Sun and correspondent for the Calgary Herald in

 their new London office. He also contributed to the Daily Express, Daily Mirror, Evening Standard, Evening News, Sunday Times, Sunday Express, Sunday Dispatch, Sunday Pictorial, Woman's Journal, Woman's Pictorial and other publications.In 1921, he and his wife were two of the 43 Foundation Members who attended the inauguration of PEN International, an organisation which celebrates literature and promotes freedom of expression and which now has over 20,000 members in more than 100 countries. Playwright
<mask> is, however, primarily famed for his writing for the stage, particularly his first play, the comedy Potiphar's Wife, which was first staged in London in 1927 and was described by the Evening Standard as the "Play that shocks London". Performances followed as far afield as Paris, and New York and <mask> is reputed to have made eighty thousand pounds from the play. The plot is derived from the Biblical story in Genesis 39 in which Joseph rejects attempts by his master's wife to seduce him, and she retaliates by accusing him of attempted rape. However, unlike the original, <mask>'s play ends in court with the exoneration of the virtuous chauffeur and with Lady Aylesbrough exposed as a shameful perjurer. The play opened at the Globe Theatre in London in August 1927 with Jeanne de Casalis as Lady Aylesbrough and Paul Cavanagh as the accused chauffeur, and one scene caused something of a stir when she appeared on stage in pyjamas. The play was also staged at the Savoy Theatre.The novel of the play was published the following year, advertised as "The best novel on the market. The story of the Play that shocked the critics". In 1928 <mask> followed this with a "melodramatic satire" called Tin Gods,

 produced at the Garrick Theatre in London in February 1928. His next work, Morning, Noon, and Night, a revue, which included additional scenes by Harold Scott and William Pollock, was staged in the Everyman Theatre in May 1929, but only after three sketches from the revue had been censored by the Lord Chamberlain, who refused to license Mussolini's Lunch, Returned With Thanks and Force of Habit for the stage. <mask> responded by publishing them in a book entitled Banned By the Censor: The Eclectic Library, released later in 1929. Parliamentary candidate
In 1929 <mask> took a foray into politics, which he described as a hobby. In the 1929 General Election he stood as candidate for the Liberal party in the Islington East constituency in London and adopted a novel method of canvassing support by using the telephone to contact electors.Both the other candidates got more votes than he did, but his support exceeded that of any previous Liberal candidate in this constituency. The 1930s
In the years that followed, he continued to write, and was also secretary to the Daily Mail Trust. He wrote biographies of the Prince of Wales in 1933, and of Lord Beaverbrook in 1934, and then in 1934 he published his autobiography entitled, I might have been a success. His next major play was England Expects..., featuring the life of Nelson and his romantic relationship with Emma Hamilton. The play was first produced at the Embassy Theatre in April 1936, with Walter Hudd as Nelson and Margaretta Scott as Lady Hamilton. Following this, in 1938 he wrote a "crooked comedy", titled Lady with Designs, written with Frank Gregory., which was staged in the Ambassadors Theatre to unenthusiastic reviews. He was also involved

 with the production of several films (known as "talking pictures") of Potiphar's Wife (1929), Tin Gods (1930), Captivation (1931), and the Official film of the life of The Prince of Wales (1933).He lived at 3, Dr Johnson's Buildings, Inner Temple, London EC4. He died of cancer at the age of 44 in a London nursing home on 10 April 1939 after a short illness. At the time of his death he was collaborating in the production of a film biography of Queen Mary. His wife, who adored him, was devastated by his death. However, in his autobiography <mask> never mentions his marriage, but does include chapters with the titles Women aren't wonderful and Why I hate women. However, despite sometimes being described as a misogynist, in 1935 it was said of him: "Airman, author, journalist, playwright, politician, royal biographer, <mask> has possibly led a more varied career than any other man of his age."

<mask> (Greek: Μιχαήλ Μέγας Κομνηνός, Mikhaēl Megas Komnēnos; c. 1288 – after 1355) was Emperor of Trebizond from May 3, 1344 to December 13, 1349. He was a younger son of Emperor John II of Trebizond and Eudokia Palaiologina. Early life
Based on Nikephoros Gregoras' statement that <mask> was 56 in 1344, one can deduce he was born around 1288. <mask> was brought to Constantinople c. 1297 by his mother Eudokia, following the death of Emperor John II and his brother Alexios' ascension to the throne. A few years later Eudokia returned to Trebizond, presumably leaving <mask> behind in Constantinople. His life is a blank for the next decades. <mask> was presumably left in the care of his uncle the Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos, whose attempts to dictate whom his brother and their mother would marry were thwarted; it is unclear what effect these failures had on <mask>.It is certain that <mask> was not confined to a monastery, for he married the daughter of the nobleman Constantine Acropolites, Acropolitissa, by whom he had a son, John III. Then followed a period of civil war between Andronikos II and his grandson Andronikos III Palaiologos, by which time <mask> was of middle age; which side in the war he supported, or if he even took a side in this conflict, is again unknown. Lastly, a number of his brother's family – first Alexios' son Basil, then Basil's two sons – came to Constantinople as refugees from the conflict in Trebizond. It is unknown what contact <mask> had with them, if he provided them succor, or if he was even aware they were in the city. It is in 1341 that <mask>'s history is once

 again known. In that year a group of representatives of the Scholarioi faction, led by Niketas Scholares and Gregory Meitzomates, arrived from Trebizond and convinced the regents of the young Emperor John V Palaiologos to allow <mask> to return. Once there he would marry the deposed Empress Irene Palaiologina and assume the imperial throne.When <mask>'s three ships reached Trebizond on July 30, 1341, he found Irene had been deposed and his own niece, Anna Anachoutlou, ruling as empress. As the legitimate male descendant of the ruling family, <mask> received the support of much of the populace and was acclaimed emperor. Some of the nobility, led by the Metropolitan Akakios, received him as their lord and escorted him into the palace. As soon as night fell, however, the nobles imprisoned <mask>, not wishing to be ruled by a mature and forceful monarch. Anna's Lazic troops dispersed <mask>'s supporters and plundered his ships. The following day he was sent off to Oinaion and then Limnia, where he was held captive by the megas doux John the Eunuch. When <mask>'s own son, John III, became emperor in September 1342, <mask> remained in prison.John's incompetent rule alienated his chief supporters, chief of these was Niketas who marched with the army to Limnia (where John the Eunuch had recently been slain), freed <mask> and returned with him to Trebizond. John III was deposed and sent to the monastery of St Sabas under a Byzantine guard, while the nobles supporting him were killed. <mask> was crowned on May 3, 1344. Reign

texts: document which gave Niketas and his ministers almost all power in the Empire, promising to seek their counsel in all official actions. This constitutional experiment was short-lived, because the greatest opposition came from the people of Trebizond. They were infuriated to see the Emperor stripped of his effective authority and rose up in revolt against the oligarchy of the Scholarioi. <mask> swiftly took advantage of the opportunity, and arrested and imprisoned Niketas in 1345.Also, he sent his son John off to Constantinople and then Adrianople where he was to be kept prisoner to prevent him from becoming a further focus for the discontented nobles of Trebizond. Taking advantage of the instability in Trebizond, the Turkmen attacked the Empire in 1346, capturing the towns of Hagios Andreas and Oinaion. In September 1347, the Black Death struck Trebizond, raging for seven months. Its effects on the city is unclear: Andrew Libadenos, who was at Trebizond at the time, makes no mention of the epidemic, while <mask> describes how the Black Death carried off "many: children, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, mothers, and kinsmen." Another Turkmen invasion the following year led to a three-day battle. Despite the victory, <mask>'s reputation as ruler was not strengthened. In 1348, the Genoese seized Kerasous, the second most important city of the Empire in revenge for a massacre of Genoese by the Trapezuntines some years earlier.In May 1349, a Genoese expedition from Caffa was launched against Trebizond. The small Trapezuntine fleet under Megas doux John Kabazites was destroyed and the people of

 Trebizond responded to this defeat by killing any Westerner they found in the capital. Eventually, peace was reached with the Genoese, but in exchange for Kerasous they were given the fortress of Leonkastron. From now on Trebizond's commercial capacity was lessened even further, as the Genoese came to increasingly command the lucrative Black Sea trade of the port. At that time the ailing <mask> was both discredited and completely unable to govern the crumbling Empire. He was deposed on December 13, 1349 by Megas doux Niketas, whom he had been forced to release from prison. Niketas and his supporters placed on the throne his nephew John, the son of Emperor Basil, who had been sent by the Byzantine Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos to Trebizond, and arrived on December 22.Upon assuming the crown, John took the name Alexios III. The deposed Emperor <mask> was forced to become a monk at the cave monastery of St Sabas. In 1351, he was sent to Constantinople. <mask> was released by Emperor John V Palaiologos in 1355; despite being in his sixties, he set forth Trebizond, hoping to recover his throne. <mask> advanced as far as Sumela Monastery, but was prevented from entering his former capital. He returned to Constantinople, where he died. Acropolitissa
<mask> is known to have married the daughter of the Byzantine megas logothetes Constantine Acropolites, and Maria Komnene Tornikina, but the name of their daughter has not been recovered.For convenience, scholars have given her the name Acropolitissa, the feminine form of "Acropolites". Little is known about her; Constantine Acropolites provides most of

 what we directly know about her. The Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos attempted to marry <mask>' older brother, Alexios to the daughter of one of his ministers, only to be foiled when Alexios married a princess of Georgia without telling his uncle. Nicol observes that "it would be quite in keeping with the elaborate dynastic and marital schemes of Andronikos II that, having failed to marry off the daughter of one of his ministers to the Emperor of Trebizond, he should encourage or arrange the marriage of the daughter of his Grand Logothete to that Emperor's brother." She was most likely dead by 1341, for that year <mask> Komnenos was invited to return to Trebizond and marry the reigning Empress, Irene Palaiologina, widow of his nephew Basil of Trebizond. Other possible descendants
The "Georgian Chronicle" of the 18th century reports George V of Georgia marrying a daughter of "the Greek Emperor, Lord <mask>". However the reigning dynasty of the Byzantine Empire in the 14th century were the Palaiologoi, not the Komnenoi.The marriage of a daughter of <mask> Palaiologos and his wife Rita of Armenia to a Georgian ruler is not recorded in Byzantine sources. Neither is the existence of any illegitimate daughters of <mask>. Whether this was a daughter of <mask> of Trebizond and Acropolitissa is unknown. References

<mask> (1865–1907), also known as <mask>, was a British publicist, journalist and poet. He was returned as a Member of the Parliament of the Cape of Good Hope in 1898 for Victoria East constituency. Biography
<mask> was born on 20 July 1865, was fourth son of <mask>, rector of Elton, Derbyshire, and his wife, Mary, daughter of Godfrey Gray. He was educated at Rossall School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in the summer term of 1887 with a third class in Classics. At the university he was more distinguished at the Union Debating Society, of which he was president in 1887, than in the schools. But though not taking a high degree, he gave in other ways early evidence of exceptional literary ability.Some of his translations from the classical poets, as well as his original pieces, contained in a small volume of undergraduate verse, Rhymes and Renderings, published at Cambridge in 1887, are remarkable not only for their grace and ease of expression but for a real poetic feeling. On leaving the university <mask> joined the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette, and rapidly made his mark as a journalist by the force of his convictions — he was at this time a radical — the freshness of his style, and a happy gift of humour. But he had always been delicate, and after two years of work in London his health broke down. The first symptoms of tuberculosis became apparent, and he was sent for cure to South Africa. This led to a temporary remission, and his visit to South Africa in the winter of 1889-90 led to other consequences most important to his career. South Africa was at that time entering the critical period of her history which terminated in the war of 1899-1902. <mask>, an young man of exceptional intelligence, not lacking in audacity, and of most winning manners and appearance, was quick to seize the salient

The result was a series of articles in the Pall Mall Gazette, subsequently published as a book, In Afrikanderland and the Land of Ophir (1891, 2 edits. ), which in 1912 was still the best description of South Africa in that momentous phase of its development. The next four years were again devoted, as far as recurrent attacks of ill-health permitted, to journalistic work in London, first for the Pall Mall Gazette, then, from 1893, for the Westminster Gazette, in the opening years of its career, in either case under the editorship of <mask>'s friend, (Sir) Edward Cook. In 1894 he also produced a translation of Henrik Ibsen's Brand into English verse in the original metres, which, if not perfect as a translation, for <mask> was not a great Norwegian scholar, is singularly successful in reproducing the spirit and poetry of the original. In April 1895 <mask> returned to South Africa to become editor of the Cape Times, the leading English newspaper in the sub-continent, and far the most important work of <mask>'s life was done during his four and a half years' active tenure of that office (April 1895 – August 1899). He was not only editor of the paper but the principal writer in it, and being a man of strong character and convictions, gifted moreover with extraordinary quickness of political insight, he on more than one occasion exercised by his trenchant pen a decisive influence on the course of affairs.In the rapid series of stirring events

texts: of these four years, the raid, the abortive rebellion in Johannesburg, the struggle between Rhodes and the Bond at the Cape, and between Kruger and the Uitlanders in the Transvaal, the Bloemfontein conference, and the growing tension between Great Britain and the South African Republic (the government of the Transvaal), <mask> played a leading part. His position in South African politics became one of such importance that he was practically compelled to add to his arduous duties as editor of the Cape Times those of a member of parliament. Returned at the Cape general election of 1898 as member for Victoria East, he immediately took a foremost place in the Cape Legislative Assembly, and in the two heated sessions preceding the war he was perhaps the most eloquent, and he was certainly the most persuasive, speaker on the "progressive" (i.e. British) side, for, while warmly supporting Rhodes and the policy of Lord (then Sir Alfred) Alfred Milner, he showed great tact in dealing with the susceptibilities of his Afrikaner opponents. Indeed, the policy which he always advocated, that of a United South Africa, absolutely autonomous in its own affairs, but remaining part of the British Empire, is now an established fact, readily accepted by men of all parties. <mask>'s important contribution to that result constitutes his chief title to remembrance. But the enormous physical strain was too much for his frail constitution.In the summer of 1899 his health broke down permanently. Obliged to leave South Africa, in an advanced stage of tuberculosis, just before the outbreak of the Second Boer War, he spent the next two or three years in sanatoria, first on the European continent and then in England, still hoping against hope that he might be able to return to an active political career. He had already in January 1900 resigned the

 editorship of the Cape Times, and in 1902 he also gave up his seat in the house of assembly. He still from time to time, when his health permitted the exertion, wrote short articles and poems of exceptional merit, which are of permanent value. In March 1903 <mask> married Ellen Marriage; they had met as a fellow patients at the East Anglian Sanatorium in Wiston, Essex. Miss Marriage had fully recovered from her neurasthenia, and it was thanks to her care and devotion that <mask>'s life was prolonged for another four years — years of great happiness, despite his complete physical prostration. In June 1904 the <mask>s moved to a cottage, Wiverton Acre, near Plympton, Devon.<mask> died there on 10 May 1907, and was buried in the churchyard at Brixton, Devon. To the last he occasionally wrote, chiefly on South Africa. Within a month of his death he contributed to the Standard (12 April) an article on "The Boer in the Saddle", which showed no loss of his old brilliancy and force, although the effort involved in writing it was nearly fatal. Criticism of theosophy
From 29 October to 8 November 1894 The Westminster Gazette published a series of articles by <mask> entitled Isis Very Much Unveiled, Being the Story of the Great Mahatma Hoax. They were collected into a booklet which caused much controversy. <mask> exposed the fraud of the Mahatma Letters and quarrels in the Theosophical Society after the death of Helena Blavatsky. For the expose, <mask> had received Theosophical documents from Walter Gorn Old.Works

The Last Trek, written on the occasion of President Kruger's funeral progress from Cape Town to Pretoria (Spectator, 10 December 1904)

In Memoriam F. W. R. (Frank Rhodes), (Westminster Gazette, 27 October 1905)
A Millionaire's Epitaph (Alfred Beit), (Westminster Gazette, 20 July 1906)

<mask> wrote an epitaph inspired by the famous epitaph of Simonides at Thermopylae:

A similar epithet is to be found engraved on all the obelisks which at Elandslaagte and on many another battlefield surmount the graves of officers and troopers in the Imperial Light Horse who fell during the Second Boer War (1899–1902). In the immediate decades after the Boer War it was well known, and some First World War memorials, such as the Southport War Memorial carry similar epitaphs. <mask> was very pleased when his longer epitaph, for Boers and Britons buried side by side, was quoted by G. P. Wessels in a reconciliation speech. Besides the works already mentioned <mask> published:
 The Story of an African Crisis (1897)
 Isis Very Much Unveiled: Being the Story of the Great Mahatma Hoax (1894)
 A chapter, "Rhodes and Milner", to The Empire and the Century (1905)

The Garrett Colonial Library, which was founded by colonial admirers in his memory, was opened at the Cambridge Union Society on 23 May 1911. A pencil portrait by Sir Edward Poynter was in 1912 in the possession of his widow.Notes

Waratahs (2008-09)
In 2007, <mask> shocked the NRL when he announced that he had decided to move to rugby union. His contract with the Eels was set to expire at the end of the year, thus the NSW Waratahs attempted to sign him. On 19 December 2007, <mask> agreed to a four-year contract with Shute Shield club, West Harbour. He joined fellow League convert Lote Tuqiri at the club.In <mask>'s final game in the NRL, he was put on report for a head slam on Melbourne Storm player Israel Folau.

In New South Wales Blues training, Johns reportedly called Greg Inglis "a black cunt". <mask> withdrew in protest from the New South Wales Origin team.

NUS Black Students' Officership and racial identity
Bouattia served two years as Black Students' Officer of the National Union of Students (NUS). While in this position, she campaigned against the UK government's Prevent strategy which she describes as “toxic and unworkable.” Bouattia also pushed for greater ethnic diversity amongst NUS candidates and campaigned for the establishment of a permanent officer for transgender students. While a member of the NUS Executive Committee, Bouattia opposed a motion condemning the terrorist acts of ISIS as she considered the wording of the motion Islamophobic. She later supported a second motion condemning crimes by ISIS, as well as Islamophobia in

 general. Bouattia has spoken extensively about her North African (Algerian) ancestry and her racial identity as a black woman. Anandi Ramamurthy and Kalpana Wilson have contextualized Bouattia's views as belonging to a tradition of "political blackness" intended to unite anti-racist and anti-colonial movements which had been widely accepted in the 20th century, although this had declined since. They argued that Bouattia's awareness of the simultaneous struggle against racism among immigrants to the UK in the post-war period and movements against colonialism internationally provided a framework to understand opposition to Islamophobia and racism domestically as part of an international movement, and stressed that it was not "an attempt to homogenise identity and experience".In an article she wrote in 2015, Bouattia mentioned the British Black Panthers, the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent, the Southall Black Sisters and the United Black Youth League as organisations working in this tradition. In May 2016, Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff in the New Statesman argued that Bouattia was not black, noting that that her self-identification as black was based on the concept of "political blackness", which Brinkhurst-Cuff defined as part of a tendency by some people of colour to adopt "blackness" as an inclusive term for nonwhites generally. Whilst acknowledging the value of Bouattia's anti-racist work, and the relevance of political blackness as a historical term, Brinkhurst-Cuff suggested that this conflation of the variety of racialised experiences was "unwise and outdated". Brinkhurst-Cuff nonetheless welcomed Bouattia's appointment, and distinguished her case from that of Rachel Dolezal on the grounds that Bouattia was a woman of colour who was honest about her ancestry. Election as NUS president
At the 2016 NUS conference Bouattia ran for the position of president against incumbent Megan Dunn with a campaign slogan of "For a strong transformative union". She opposed Dunn's plans to end the NUS' relationship with the human rights organisation CAGE, which Bouattia had defended in July 2015 against David Cameron's


texts:
 accusation that it is an "extremist" group. Bouattia has referred to the stance against CAGE as consisting of "baseless Islamophobic smears", while Dunn described its leaders as having "sympathised with violent extremism and violence against women."Bouattia won the 2016 election with 50.9% of the vote, pledging to oppose government cuts to bursaries and the NHS. Bouattia stated that she would place greater emphasis on global politics. Allegations of antisemitism
During her campaign attention was drawn to past comments she had made, that were criticised as antisemitic. In a co-written 2011 University of Birmingham Friends of Palestine blog post, she described the University as "something of a Zionist outpost in British Higher Education" which has "the largest JSoc [Jewish student society] in the country whose leadership is dominated by Zionist activists". For this she has been condemned by over 300 Jewish student leaders, the Union of Jewish Students and Oxford University Student Union. In her response to this criticism in April 2016, Bouattia rejected the accusation that she had a problem with Jewish societies on-campus. Daniel Clements, then president of Birmingham J-Soc, found her comments "completely unsatisfactory".Bouattia defended her comments claiming that they had been misrepresented and "that for me to take issue with Zionist politics is not me taking issue with being Jewish." An October 2016 report by the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, described her comments as "outright racism" and said that she was not taking issues of anti-Semitism on university campuses seriously enough. However, a letter published in The Independent with signatories including Professor Norman Finkelstein and Professor Moshé Machover, defended Bouattia's record of fighting racism and anti-semitism. Critics of Bouattia also highlighted a video of her speaking at a conference on "Gaza and the Palestinian Revolution" in 2014, in which she said: "With mainstream Zionist-led media outlets ... resistance is presented as an act of terrorism." Any peace talks, in her opinion, are a "strengthening of the colonial project". Bouattia

 attracted criticism for appearing to suggest that non-violent resistance to Israeli occupation is a limited option. In January 2017, Al Jazeera broadcast footage purporting to show that the UJS (Union of Jewish Students) and the Israeli Embassy in London were involved in a campaign to discredit Bouattia with claims of antisemitism and of seeking to block her election and, later, attempting to remove her.The following month, an internal NUS inquiry concluded that Bouattia had made an antisemitic statement, although four other such claims were rejected. As she had expressed regret, the investigator said that Bouattia should not face any action so long as she apologised. Students' union disaffiliations
In response to her election, students at Durham, Loughborough, Hull, Aberystwyth, Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, Essex, York, King's College London, Nottingham, Leicester, Queen Mary University of London and Reading University began campaigning to disaffiliate from the NUS. On 9 May 2016 the University of Lincoln disaffiliated from the NUS. Within the same week, Newcastle University followed. Hull University disaffiliated on 24 May 2016, followed by Loughborough University on 7 June. However, Queen Mary, Nottingham, Oxford, Surrey, Exeter, Warwick, Cambridge and Durham universities voted to remain affiliated to the NUS.Defeat in 2017 NUS election
On 13 March 2017, Bouattia announced that she was running for a second term as NUS President. The NUS Vice-President for further education Shakira Martin ran against her, as well as Durham student Tom Harwood, who stood on a conservative platform and lampooned the NUS and Bouattia's "irrelevant grandstanding" in his somewhat satirical campaign literature. Martin defeated Bouattia winning 56% of the vote in the election at the national conference in Brighton the following month. She gained 402 of the 721 votes cast by delegates, while Bouattia received 272 and Harwood 35. References

<mask> (born 1966, sometimes Jabateh), also known by his nom de guerre Jungle Jabbah, is a Liberian who was convicted in the United States of lying to immigration authorities about his role in the First Liberian Civil War (1989-1997) when he sought asylum in the late 1990s. He was arrested in April 2016. In October 18, 2017, <mask> was tried and convicted in Philadelphia of two counts of fraud in immigration documents and two counts of perjury stemming from statements he made when filing for asylum and permanent residence. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison the following April. He was the first person convicted of crimes stemming from war-related activities during the First Liberian Civil War. He lost his appeal in September 2020. Immigration to the United States
In December 1998, <mask> submitted his application for US asylum and later for US permanent residency.<mask> disclosed that he was a member of ULIMO and later ULIMO-K (Mandingo ethnic faction), but he did not reveal his alleged capacity. In January 1999, an immigration asylum officer interviewed Jabbateh to determine whether his asylum application should be granted. Jabbateh responded "no" to these two questions: 1. "[H]ave you ever committed a crime?" and 2. [H]ave you ever harmed anyone else?" In January 1999, <mask> received US asylum based on his answers to questions posed on his Form I-589 asylum application form.Jabbateh also applied for permanent residency (also known as a green card) using Form I-485. He responded "No" to these two questions: 1. "Have you ever engaged in genocide, or otherwise ordered, incited, assisted or otherwise participated in the killing of any person because of race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion?" 2. "Are you under a final order of civil penalty for violating section 274C of the Immigration and Nationality Act for use of fraudulent documents of have you, by fraud or willful misrepresentation of a material fact, ever sought to procure or procured a visa, other

 documentation, or entry into the US or any immigration benefit?". Indictment and arrest
On March 10, 2016, Jabbateh was indicted and charged by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania with two counts of fraud in immigration documents in violation of the 18 U.S.C. § 1546 and two counts of perjury in violation of 18 U.S.C.§ 1621. The indictment was unsealed on April 13, 2016 and <mask> was arrested in his Delaware County home in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. Trial
On October 2, 2017, Jabbateh was arraigned before the Honorable Judge Paul S. Diamond at the James A. Byrne Federal Courthouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jabbateh pleaded not guilty on all counts. The jury, composed of eight women and four men, was selected the same day and opening arguments began the following day. The trial lasted for three weeks until October 18, 2017. Assistant United States Attorney Linwood C. Wright, Jr. and Assistant United States Attorney Nelson S.T.Thayer prosecuted Jabbateh. Thayer was previously a trial attorney at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and prosecuted the massacre in Srebrenica, Bosnia. The government stated that as a ULIMO-K commander in the late 1990s, Jabbateh either committed himself or ordered his troops to "commit crimes such as the murder of civilians, sexual enslavement of women, public rapes, conscription of child soldiers and maiming and torture of noncombatants." Twenty witnesses and victims were flown from Liberia to Philadelphia to testify in court against Jabbateh. Gregory J. Pagano was the attorney for Jabbateh. Pagano interrogated the credibility of the government's selection of the witnesses and their testimonies. The defense counsel presented their case on October 16, 2017.Verdict
On October 18, <mask> was convicted of two counts of fraud in immigration documents and two counts of perjury stemming from statements he made in connection with his applications for asylum and permanent residence. Jabbateh was sentenced

 to 30 years in prison on April 19, 2018. Although federal guidelines generally only call for 15 to 21 months in prison for the charges he was convicted, U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond instead sentenced him to the statutory maximum, saying it would be "not only unreasonable but outrageously offensive" in light of his past. "I want to be clear, I am departing not based on the horror of the atrocities the defendant committed abroad," Diamond said. "Rather, I am departing based on the egregiousness of his lies…and their effect on our asylum laws and immigration system." He said Jabbateh had made a "mockery" of the U.S. asylum system asylum system that had been established to protect people fleeing from human rights abusers like himself. Jabbateh was a commander or higher-ranking officer in ULIMO and ULIMO-K, and during that time he either personally committed, or ordered ULIMO troops under his command to commit the following list of acts:
 The murder of civilian non-combatants
 The sexual enslavement of women
 The public raping of women
 The maiming of civilian non-combatants
 The torturing of civilian non-combatants
 The enslavement of civilian non-combatants
 The conscription of child soldiers
 The execution of prisoners of war
 The desecration and mutilation of corpses
 The killing of persons because of race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion

Appeal
<mask>'s conviction and sentence were unprecedented, both as the first conviction connected to the First Liberian civil war and also for the length at 17 times the recommended sentence for such immigration offences, the longest ever sentence in the US for lying about war crimes on immigration forms.<mask> appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in January 2020 on the basis that his crimes in Liberia did not amount to genocide. Circuit Judge Thomas L. Ambro noted the unusual length of the sentence and that it could be viewed as being imposed for his war crimes rather than his immigration

 offences. Jabbateh lost his appeal in September 2020. Judges Ambro, Paul Matey, and Julio M. Fuentes noted that some of the charges he was convicted of should not have been applied, but allowed them to stand because his lawyer had not objected. The forms filed in 2002 were beyond the statute of limitations, but the charges related to lying in a 2011 immigration interview despite the law on applying to written documents. They ruled that Judge Diamond correctly used his discretion in imposing the long sentence. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website, Jabbateh is serving his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood Medium.He is scheduled for release on November 5, 2041. <mask>'s inmate number is 75217-066. Personal life
<mask> was granted US political asylum on December 23, 1999. He settled in Lansdowne, where he remained until his conviction in October 2017. <mask> has a wife and five children who live in Philadelphia. Jabbateh also has an ex-wife and at least seven children who live in Liberia or elsewhere on the African continent, who he attempted to sponsor to immigrate to the US. Jabbateh started a shipping company in 2008, Jabateh Brothers Loading Services, which packages and ships containers to Liberia.It remains in operation. Friends and family in his community around Philadelphia regarded him favorably. He does not hold a US passport and had not left the country since his arrival in 1998. References

His father was a commercial traveller in fancy trimmings and secretary of the Country Towns' Mission. <mask>'s parents were of strong religious feeling who valued education. Through them, he acquired an abiding love for literature and history, and early knowledge of Greek and Latin.Education
Mawer entered Coopers' Company Grammar School at the age of ten, where he won a scholarship at the end of his first term. In 1897 he sat as an external candidate for an Honours Degree in English at London University, obtaining a First Class in his examination. Mawer entered University College London in 1898 as a graduate, where he was the Morley Medallist. At University College London, Professor W. P. Ker had a particularly strong influence on him. <mask> entered Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, in October 1901 as a foundation scholar, residing there for three years, obtaining a double mark of distinction in the English sections of the Medieval and Modern Languages Tripos. Supported by a Research Studentship given to him by the College, he spent the next year studying Viking activity in England, in particular the subject of Old Norse place-names. Early career

 Gonville and Caius College, which he held until 1911. In 1908 he was elected to the Joseph Cowen Professorship of Language and Literature in Armstrong College, Newcastle, where he would remain for thirteen years. During his years at Armstrong College, <mask> continued his research on Viking influence and Old Norse place-names in England. In 1913, he published his celebrated The Vikings, which for many years served as the standard English-language work on Vikings. By this time, <mask> had become convinced that the place-names of England contained the key to understanding the extent of Scandinavian influence in medieval England. The same year as his publishing of The Vikings, he also published two papers on Scandinavian place-names in England. The year 1920 saw the publishing of his Place-Names of Northumberland and Durham, which was the product of eight years of research.It established him as one of the major experts in this field of study. In the preface to this work, <mask> laid down his principle that "no single county can be dealt with satisfactorily apart from a survey of the field of English place-nomenclature as a whole". Founding the English Place-Name Society
In 1921, <mask> became Baines Professor of the English Language at the University of Liverpool, succeeding Henry Cecil Kennedy Wyld. The Scandinavian countries had by this time conducted systematic surveys of their place-names, and English scholars were to do the same for their country. By then it had become obvious that <mask> was the right scholar to take the lead. Following a speech made to the British Academy in January 1921, the Academy sponsored the creation of the English Place-Name Society, of which <mask> was Honorary Director and Secretary, and the driving force. Under the leadership of <mask>,

 the Society began the gigantic undertaking of producing the Survey of English Place-Names.Drawing upon large support from the English public, the Society gained many members and plenty of funds, and its Survey came to be conducted by several scholars, including Eilert Ekwall, Frank Stenton, Percy Hide Reany, Albert Hugh Smith, John Eric Bruce Gover and <mask> himself. Four of the eight volumes of the Survey produced during <mask>'s lifetime were authored by him. The first volume, Introduction to the Survey of English Place-Names (1924), was written with Stenton, while the second volume, Chief Elements used in English Place-Names (1924), Mawer wrote by himself. <mask> was awarded the Biennial Prize for English Studies of the British Academy in 1929 in recognition of  his work for the Society. During this time, he also authored two chapters on early Scandinavian history for the Cambridge Medieval History (Vol. III, 1922), and the article "The Redemption of the Five Boroughs", which was published in the English Historical Review in 1923. In the latter article, which has been described as his most important work on history, <mask> convincingly argued that the ethnic distinction between Danes and Norwegians was a significant political factor in tenth-century England.His Place-Names and History (1922) and Problems of Place-Name Study (1929) gained a wide circulation. Provost at University College London
In 1929, <mask> was elected Provost of University College London. One of the best known scholars of his generation, he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1930 and received the honour of knighthood in 1937. He was awarded an honorary D.C.L. from Durham University in 1937. <mask> was an honorary foreign member of the Royal Flemish Academy. Combined with his
