Bain <mask> (18 May 1788 – 13 April 1827) was a Scottish naval officer and explorer of West and Central Africa. Early career
<mask> was born in Annan, Dumfriesshire, where his father, <mask>, was a surgeon. He gained some knowledge of practical mathematics and navigation, and at thirteen was apprenticed on board a vessel which traded between Liverpool and North America. After having made several voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, he was impressed for the navy, in which he soon rose to the rank of midshipman. During the Napoleonic Wars he saw a good deal of active service, and at the storming of Port Louis, Mauritius, in November 1810, he was first in the breach and hauled down the French flag. In 1814 <mask> went to Canada, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and to the command of a schooner on the Canadian lakes. In 1817, when the flotilla on the lakes was dismantled, he returned home on half-pay.In 1820 <mask> removed to Edinburgh, where he made the acquaintance of Walter Oudney, who aroused his interest in African travel. African exploration
Lieutenant G. F. Lyon having returned from an unsuccessful attempt to reach Bornu from Tripoli, the British government determined on a second expedition to that country. Walter Oudney was appointed by Lord Bathurst, then colonial secretary, to proceed to Bornu as consul, accompanied by <mask>. From Tripoli, early in 1822, they set out southward to Murzuk, where they were later joined by Major Dixon Denham, who found both men in a wretched condition. They eventually proceeded south from Murzuk on 29 November 1822. By this time, a deep antipathy had developed between <mask> and Denham, Denham secretly sending

The accusation, based on a rumour spread by a disgruntled servant dismissed by Clapperton for theft, was almost certainly unfounded, and Denham later withdrew it but without telling Clapperton he had done so, leading the historian Bovill to observe that 'it remains difficult to recall in all the checkered (sic) history of geographic discovery.... a more odious man than Dixon Denham'.On 17 February 1823, the party eventually reached Kuka (now Kukawa in Nigeria), capital of the Bornu Empire, where they were well received by the sultan Sheikh al-Kaneimi, having earlier become the first white men to see Lake Chad. Whilst at Kuka, <mask> and Oudney parted company with Denham on 14 December to explore the course of the Niger River. Denham remained behind to explore and survey the western, south and south-eastern shores of Lake Chad, and the lower courses of the rivers Waube, Logone and Shari. However, only a few weeks later, Oudney died at the village of Murmur, located near the town of Katagum on the road to Kano. Undeterred, <mask> continued his journey alone through Kano to Sokoto, the capital of the Fulani Empire, where by order of Sultan Muhammed Bello he was obliged to stop, though the Niger was only a five-day journey to the west. Exhausted by his travels, he returned by way of Zaria and Katsina to Kuka, where Denham found him barely recognizable after his privations. <mask> and Denham departed Kuka for Tripoli in August 1824, reaching Tripoli on 26 January 1825.Their mutual antipathy unabated, they exchanged not a word during the 133-day journey.

 pair continued their journey to England, arriving home to a heroes' welcome on 1 June 1825. An account of their travels was published in 1826 under the title Narrative of Travels and Discoveries in Northern and Central Africa in the years 1822–1823 and 1824. Immediately after his return to England, <mask> was raised to the rank of commander, and sent out with another expedition to Africa, the sultan Bello of Sokoto having professed his eagerness to open up trade with the west coast. <mask> came out on HMS Brazen, which was joining the West Africa Squadron for the suppression of the slave trade. He landed at Badagry in the Bight of Benin, and started overland for the Niger on 7 December 1825, having with him his servant Richard Lemon Lander, Captain Pearce, and Dr. Morrison, navy surgeon and naturalist. Before the month was out Pearce and Morrison were dead of fever.<mask> continued his journey, and, passing through the Yoruba country, in January 1826 he crossed the Niger at Bussa, the spot where Mungo Park had died twenty years before. Death
In July, Clapperton arrived at Kano and thence the Fulani capital Sokoto, intending to continue to Bornu and renew his acquaintance with the Kanuri leader Sheikh al-Kaneimi. However, the Fulani were now at war with al-Kaneimi, and Sultan Bello refused him permission to leave. After many months' detention, afflicted by malaria, depression, and dysentery, Clapperton died, leaving his servant Lander the only survivor of the expedition. Lander returned to the coast, and at Fernando Po by extraordinary coincidence met Clapperton's old antagonist, Dixon Denham, who duly relayed the news of Clapperton's demise to

title: Duke Alexander of Oldenburg

texts:
Duke <mask> of Oldenburg (; , <mask>ich <mask>sky;  – 6 September 1932) was the second son of Duke Peter of Oldenburg and his wife Princess Therese of Nassau-Weilburg. Though he had a German title and ancestry, <mask> and his siblings were born and raised in St. Petersburg as the grandchildren of Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna of Russia. <mask> served as Adjutant general to <mask> of Russia, and also as commanding general of the Imperial Guard. <mask> was the Russian candidate submitted to succeed <mask>, Prince of Bulgaria, though this nomination failed to gain the support of the other great European powers. At the outbreak of World War I, Nicholas II of Russia appointed <mask>, a medical doctor, as supreme chief of the medical service of the military and naval forces. <mask> and his wife Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg were noted for their philanthropy, establishing schools, hospitals, orphanages, and other charitable organizations in Russia. During World War I, the duke famously invited wounded British and French soldiers to stay for free in a sanatorium he founded in the Crimea.When the Russian revolution broke out, <mask> was reported to have been one of the Imperial family killed by the newly emerged Bolshevik government, though this turned out to be only a rumor as the duke was able to escape and hide away in Finland and eventually to France, where he died at Biarritz on 6 September 1932. Family and early life

<mask>'s grandfather had married Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna, daughter of Paul I of Russia, and their descendants had been raised in Russia ever since and become completely "Russianized". Thus despite his German title, Duke <mask>, like his father before him, had grown up entirely in Russia, serving his military service for the czars. He was always considered a

 part of the Russian imperial family. Marriage
On 19 January 1868 at the Winter Palace, <mask> married Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg, a daughter of Maximilian de Beauharnais, 3rd Duke of Leuchtenberg. Like his own family, Eugenia was also an offshoot of the Imperial family, as her mother was Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna, eldest daughter of Nicholas I of Russia. She was entitled to the rank Imperial Highness, and was born and raised in St. Petersburg.The couple had one son, Peter (21 November 1868 – 11 March 1924). Eugenia had a long-standing friendship with Empress Maria Feodorovna, and the two helped arrange the marriage of Eugenia's son to Maria's daughter Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna. Military and professional career

Like his two brothers, <mask> served in the Russian army. He held the position of Adjutant-General to Emperor <mask>. He was also the commanding general of the Imperial Guard. <mask> served on the State Council

In 1889, <mask> resigned the office of commanding general of the Imperial Guard, because of the increasingly anti-German tone pervading into Russian politics, and also because he wanted to remove barriers that would bar his succession to the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. Emperor <mask> refused his resignation, but gave the duke an eleven-month leave of absence.<mask> was one of the richest princes in Russia in both landed and funded property; this was also partly due to the wealth of his wife, whose inherited wealth, as the granddaughter of Nicholas I of Russia, was said to be enormous. <mask> was also second-in-line to the throne of Oldenburg, as Frederick Augustus II, Grand Duke of Oldenburg had only one young son, Hereditary Grand Duke Nikolaus; were he to die before his father, <mask> would have become heir presumptive. Because of this wealth, it was

 expected that <mask> and his family would remain in Russia and give up their claim to the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, were they to succeed to that particular territory. <mask> was a doctor of medicine and undertook active management of the hospitals he helped in founding. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Emperor Nicholas II appointed <mask> to the post of supreme chief of the medical service of the military and naval forces. Though his selection as a royal duke was unusual to hold such a high medical-related position, there had been another precedent in another royal house, Prince Louis Ferdinand of Bavaria, who at that time was serving as surgeon general to the German army. Candidate for Bulgarian throne
After <mask>, Prince of Bulgaria abdicated on 7 September 1886, various replacement candidates were proposed by the great European powers, particularly by the governments of Russia and Germany.Because of his Russian background, <mask> was recommended at his government's suggestion for the Bulgarian crown. Not only was he married to a Russian princess, and was himself the grandson of a Russian grand duchess, but he also held the positions of Adjutant-General to Emperor <mask>, and was the Commanding General of the Imperial Guard. It was also assumed that although he would lose much of his property if he succeeded to Oldenburg, he would be able to keep his wealth if he became the sovereign of Bulgaria because of Emperor <mask>'s support. In several desperate attempts to prevent Russia from gaining control of Bulgaria however, the throne was offered to candidates who lacked Russian ties, such as a prince of Denmark or even the king of Romania. In the end, Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was chosen, becoming Ferdinand I of Bulgaria. Philanthropy

Like his father before him, <mask> was

 well-educated and clever, and concentrated much of his time and energy to philanthropic works throughout Russia. He was president of several schools as well as the St. Petersburg-based Institute of Experimental Medicine.<mask> and Eugenia founded the Oldenburg Institute at Petrograd, where more than two thousands girls and boys received technical educations while being taught trades and given free lodging and food, all at the expense of the duke and duchess. Their extensive donations helped fund and found technical schools, hospitals, orphanages, as well as other philanthropic institutions all over Russia. As <mask> was a doctor, he was deeply involved in the management of these hospitals, taking charge of the sick and wounded on their departure from the field hospitals. In his position as chief of head of medical services for the Russian army and navy, <mask> invited hundreds of wounded French and British officers to stay free-of-charge in a sanatorium he founded in the Crimea. He also greatly improved the organization of wounded soldiers at the front. While attending the opening of the Institute of Experimental Medicine as its main benefactor in January 1907, a prominent government official, General von Launitz, was assassinated before <mask> and Eugenia's eyes. The general was standing a few steps away from her husband, so that Eugenia, believing at first that <mask> had been the one killed, fell into a faint.He and his wife's charitable exploits became so well known that a newspaper declared in 1914 that because they devoted their lives and the greater portion of their wealth to philanthropy, "there are probably no two who are so universally beloved as the Duke and Duchess <mask> of Oldenburg".

 thought that a boundary change in 1904 which moved Gagra into Russia was due to the resort. The border was switched back in 1917. In 1902, a mob of peasants burned <mask>'s southern Russian estate of Ramon Palace, which had been a gift from Eugenia's uncle Emperor <mask> II upon the couple's marriage. Acting out of labor unrest and what was incorrectly perceived as a fake pronouncement that the Emperor would take back land given to peasants, a mob of angry people traveled throughout southern Russia and caused extensive damage. The estate survived, but fifteen years later, it would be confiscated by the new Bolshevik regime, and turned into a barracks, school, hospital, and housing for a nearby factory.By 1914, <mask> was almost an "invalid", traveling with the help of a nurse for his care. Later that year, while driving just outside Wiesenthal in Baden with his valet and nurse, <mask> was in an auto wreck, sustaining very grave injuries. His gentleman-in-waiting and others who were traveling with the duke, either in his car or another driving behind them, were also injured in the crash, as it involved both vehicles. <mask> survived the wreck. Russian revolution
Despite his well-known charitable activities, a price was put on his head by the newly emerged Bolshevik regime, who also destroyed the institutions he founded. During the Russian revolution, <mask> was reported to have been one of the members of the Imperial family killed by the government. Further reports revealed however that <mask> had been in hiding in Finland ever since the revolution broke out, eventually turning up in Paris.As he left his property (and thus the main source of his wealth) in Russia, <mask> found himself relatively penniless in France. He died in exile at Biarritz on 6 September 1932. He was buried at Cimetière du

Her voice is heard, blending with and rising over the others, in Weavers tracks such as "This Land Is Your Land", "If I Had a Hammer", "On Top of Old Smoky", "Goodnight, Irene", "Kisses Sweeter than Wine", and "Tzena, Tzena, Tzena". Early music and activism
The Weavers were an influential folk-singing group that was blacklisted in the early 1950s, during a period of widespread anti-communist hysteria, because of the group's left-wing sympathies. Following the Weavers' dissolution in 1953 due to the blacklist, she

In 1974, Holly Near dedicated her album A Live Album to <mask>. At the time, Near didn't even know if she was still alive, so she didn't ask <mask> for permission. <mask> found out about the dedication from her daughter and met Near soon after.This is how <mask> describes meeting Near:

I told her about how her record was astonishing to me ... I was so moved. First I was kind of teed off about it and then ... I was just in tears the whole time, and figured out this has been going on while I haven't been looking ... This consciousness, this woman consciousness has been happening and was happening in music ... Of course, I loved her because she was ... the coming together of all the things I loved in music, from folk music to Broadway ... she had that kind of delivery and voice and she could handle pretty much anything. It was like she had the social consciousness in a new contemporary way that the Weavers had. In 1980, part of The Weavers: Wasn't That a Time!was filmed in the loft <mask> was living

James F<mask> (May 4, 1923 – November 29, 1968) was an American football placekicker. He played college football for the University of Michigan in 1942, 1946 and 1947. He set Michigan, Rose Bowl, Big Ten Conference, and national collegiate placekicking records and was the second leading scorer on Michigan's undefeated 1947 Michigan Wolverines football team. For more than two decades, he held the Michigan records for most successful point after touchdown ("PAT") conversions in a career (107), season (52), and game (9). <mask>'s college football career was interrupted by service in the United States Navy during the 1944 and 1945 football seasons. His kicking foot was amputated in 1967 due to cancer. He died the following year at age 45 following surgery to remove growths from his lungs.Early years
<mask> was born in May 1923 at either Saginaw, or Port Huron, Michigan. His family moved to Harbor Beach in the Thumb of Michigan in the late 1920s. His father, <mask>, was a Michigan native of German descent who, at the time of the 1930 United States Census, was working as an oil agent at Harbor Beach. His mother, <mask>, was a Michigan native of Polish descent. Brieske had an older sister Lorraine (born c. 1921), a younger sister Helen (born c. 1927), and a younger brother Kenneth (born c. 1929). Brieske was a backfield star for the Harbor Beach High School football team and graduated from the school in 1941. University of Michigan
Brieske enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1941.He played on the all-freshman football team that year. He played three years of varsity football for the Michigan Wolverines football team

As a sophomore, <mask> played for the 1942 Michigan Wolverines football team that was ranked No.8 in the final AP Poll. He tried out for the center position, but that position was filled by All-American (and future College Football Hall of Fame inductee) Merv Pregulman.<mask> won a spot on the team as a placekicker. He converted 26 of 31 point after touchdown ("PAT") attempts in 1942. <mask>'s talent as a kicker won him acclaim, and in November 1942, stories about Brieske were published in newspapers across the country. Michigan had lost or tied several close games in Fritz Crisler's first four years at Michigan as a result of missed PAT attempts (including 7–6 losses to Minnesota in 1938 and 1940 and a 20–20 tie with Ohio State in 1941). One newspaper story noted that Brieske had earned the nickname "Old Monotony" because his reliability in converting PATs had turned Michigan's kicking game from excitement to routine. At the time, <mask> told the reporter he wasn't satisfied with having a limited role as a placekicker: "Sure, this kicking is alright, but I'd like to take a crack at the real stuff." He was also known by the nicknames "automatic <mask>," and the "mechanical toe."Teammate Bob Chappuis later recounted a story from the 1942 season when he and Brieske were both sophomores. In the first game of the 1942 season, Brieske kicked a field goal to secure a 9–0 victory over the Great Lakes Naval

 Station team. The next week, Brieske brought his hometown newspaper into the locker room. The headline read, "<mask>, the Pride of Harbor Beach." Brieske showed it to his teammates and then took it into the coaches' locker room and showed it to them. Chappuis recalled that was "a bad mistake!" Head coach Fritz Crisler had Brieske play linebacker during practice that day, where he was "on his back all day."Eventually, Crisler walked over to <mask> who was lying on his back and said, "Brieske, you're not the pride of Harbor Beach, you're a jackass." Military service
An injury kept Brieske from playing during the 1943 season, and he also missed the 1944 and 1945 seasons while serving in the United States Navy. 1946 season
<mask> returned to the University of Michigan in time for summer football training in August 1946. He played for the 1946 Michigan Wolverines football team that finished the season ranked No.6 in the final Associated Press poll. Brieske completed 29 of 32 PATs in 1946 and also kicked a field goal. With 32 points, he was the Wolverines' leading scorer in 1946. 1947 season
<mask> graduated with his B.S.degree in 1947, and the Baltimore Colts offered him a contract to play professional football. Instead, he returned to Michigan in the fall of 1947 as a graduate student in the Business Administration School. He was the place-kicker for the 1947 Michigan Wolverines football team that finished undefeated and untied with a 10–0 record. In an October 1947 article on the growth of specialization in football, The Sporting News wrote:"Brieske is one of the greatest kickers college football has ever had. He led

Brieske converted 52 of 57 PAT attempts and was the team's second leading scorer during the 1947 regular season. Only two of the five PATs Brieske failed to convert in 1947 were "misses" resulting from his own inaccuracy.Three of the misses resulted from balls that were fumbled or snapped poorly from the center. Brieske had converted 31 of 34 PAT attempts in the first five games of the 1947 season and was the leading scorer in the Big Ten Conference at the end of October. He converted 7 of 7 attempts against both Northwestern and Stanford and 9 of 10 against Pitt. The fact that an extra point specialist led the conference in scoring drew national media attention. Sports writer Bob French wrote a column about Brieske titled, "Specialist Comes Into His Own." He called Brieske "one of the specialists who make this football era picturesque" and noted the irony that Brieske was the conference's leading scorer even though he had not been involved in an official play: "Brieske makes his points without using up any time at all. The watch is stopped when he goes into action after touchdowns.You might say he doesn't play; he just scores." The Los Angeles Times also noted the unusual nature of <mask>'s contributions:"<mask> has an enviable distinction. He has scored his 100 points in NO TIME AT ALL. No sir. It didn't take him one single minute to score all those points. Football rules call for the clock to be stopped on the try for extra point. That means <mask>, a third-string center, has booted all

I 'wish' it over every time." Although ranked second in the Associated Press poll at the end of the regular season, the Wolverines defeated the USC Trojans by a score of 49–0 in the 1948 Rose Bowl game, and were selected as the nation's number-one team by a 226–119 margin over Notre Dame in an unprecedented post-bowl Associated Press poll. The 1947 team has been selected as the best team in the history of Michigan football. After the 1947 season, <mask> was selected to play in the College All-Star Game against the NFL champion Chicago Cardinals. He was one of 10 players from the 1947 Michigan team invited to play in the game. Placekicking records
 With 52 successful PAT conversions in 1947, Brieseke surpassed the national collegiate record of 47 conversions in a season set by Dick Walterhouse of Army and George Jernigan of Georgia.The official records dated back to 1937 when the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau began compiling statistics. Michigan's Tom Hammond kicked 65 extra points for the 1903 "Point-a-Minute" team. His total of 107 successful PAT conversions in three years set the Michigan career record. His career record was broken in 1974 by Mike Lantry who converted 113 PATs. He set Michigan's season record for successful PAT conversions by completing 52 of 57 attempts in 1947. His season record was broken in 1971 by Dana Coin who converted 55 PATs. He set Michigan's single-game record

<mask>  (27 December 1940 – 27 October 2009) was a first-class cricketer who played county cricket for Gloucestershire, and later became one of the cricket world's best-known umpires. He stood in 92 Test matches, the last of them in June 2005, the most for any English umpire. He also umpired 172 ODIs, including three consecutive World Cup finals in 1996, 1999 and 2003. Early life
<mask> was born in Bideford in Devon. His father Herbert was a sub-postmaster, having earlier worked in the Merchant Navy. His father had played cricket and rugby in his youth, and became an umpire for North Devon Cricket Club after losing the sight in one eye in the First World War. <mask>'s brother Bill was also a cricketer who captained MCC Young Professionals, but became postmaster at his parents' post office in Instow in the 1960s, playing club and the Minor Counties cricket.He was educated at Barnstaple Grammar School, where he played for the school first XI from the second form and became head boy. He then studied at St Luke's College, Exeter. He also played cricket for Devon Colts and England Schools, including one match against his brother captaining MCC Young Professionals at Lord's. He became a teacher in Bideford and Ilfracombe, also playing Minor Counties cricket for Devon from 1959 to 1964, mainly as a batsman. Playing career
After scoring 100 not out for Gloucestershire's Second XI in 1964, <mask> had a reasonably successful, though late-starting, first-class playing career for Gloucestershire, stretching from 1965 to 1979, and though he never came close to international selection he was popular both with his teammates and the Gloucestershire supporters.

 started with a bang, scoring 108 on debut against Oxford University in April 1965, and made eleven more hundreds over the years, though only twice (in 1969 and 1975) did he average over 30. Mainly a middle-order batsman, and never the slimmest of men even in his younger days, he relied more on his fine shot placement than speed across the ground, and his bowling was almost non-existent: he took only two wickets in his entire first-class career.One famous incident at the Gloucestershire Cricket Club saw <mask> hitting the ball so hard into the crowd that it knocked out a spectator reading a newspaper. The spectator was taken to hospital and recovered with only minor injuries. Umpire
After retiring from his playing career in 1979, <mask> decided against becoming a coach, and decided to become an umpire instead. He began his second career in cricket, and the one which was to make him world-famous, when he was appointed as a first-class umpire in 1981. Quickly recognised as being one of the fairest-minded and most able officials in the game, within two years he was part of the umpiring panel for the 1983 World Cup, and within four he was standing in his first Test:  the fourth Test of the 1985 Ashes series at Old Trafford. Standing with him in this Test was Dickie Bird. From then on, <mask> became a fixture on the international scene, his round figure instantly recognisable by players and spectators alike.Perhaps his most famous quirk was his habit of lifting one foot off the ground whenever the score reached 111, or multiples thereof, they being regarded as unlucky by <mask> in a ritual dating back to his childhood cricket team days. The number 111

Among other superstitions, he would tie a matchstick to a finger on Friday 13th, so he would be touching wood to bring good luck all day. Also famous was his tendency to shake his hand while signalling fours; to this day, many fans in cricket crowds mimic his action while celebrating fours. If the situation demanded, <mask> could be very firm, notably when initially warning the Pakistan captain, Waqar Younis, in the 2003 World Cup against Australia for bowling fast 'beamers' (a full toss that reaches the batsman between waist and head height, being dangerous as it is extremely hard to detect for the batsman). Waqar again transgressed and <mask> ordered his removal from the attack becoming the first umpire to take such an action during an international match. He considered retiring after he received much adverse press coverage in 2001, when Pakistan won the Old Trafford Test against England, after <mask> gave three England batsmen out to no-balls bowled by Saqlain Mushtaq, who had stepped over the crease, but he was part of the ICC's first Elite Panel of neutral umpires established in 2002, and retained his place unbroken until his retirement from umpiring in 2005.As his retirement loomed, <mask> was lauded wherever he went. He was given a guard of honour by the New Zealand and Australian teams during the series between the two countries in March 2005. After his last Test, that between West Indies and Pakistan at Kingston, Jamaica in June 2005, <mask> was presented with a bat by West Indian captain Brian Lara. He was in fact given special dispensation by the ICC to umpire in an

 Ashes match between England and Australia at Lord's as his final Test, but turned down the opportunity to maintain the ICC's neutral umpiring policy for Test matches. His fellow umpire Simon Taufel said of him, as quoted in his Wisden obituary: "What doesn't get highlighted is man-management skills, creating a happy environment for players to play in. And Shep was magnificent at that. The players had this enormous respect for him as a person.He put them at their ease and forged relationships that crossed all cultural and political divides." In that obituary, the obituarist himself wrote: "The authorities struggle for a definition of the Spirit of Cricket. Perhaps the best answer is <mask>." <mask> was awarded the MBE for services to cricket in 1987, and he became the President of his home county club Devon in 2006. <mask> was the first umpire to officiate in at least one Test match in all the nations playing Test cricket at that time. Later life
<mask> retired to Devon, and returned to live in the seaside village of Instow, occasionally working in his brother's post office. He was married to Jenny, his partner since 1973, in 2008.He died of lung cancer on 27 October 2009 in Devon. See also

Romain has made his name in the art world by thinking big. The artist entered into the Guinness Book of records in 1992 when Romain and his helpers turned some of Europe's tallest sea cliffs, in Normandy, into the world's largest flag.Layers of red and blue material, weighing three tons in total, were draped over the cliffs, leaving the white of the cliffs bare and creating the French flag. It took a team of 30 people ten days to complete the hanging, working in up to force six winds, and their success flung Romain into the records. The flag, covering an area of 30.000m2 was constructed to celebrate the 200 years since the French revolution. In 1989, he dressed in colors the theater of

 Karlsruhe, enormous building in concrete, for the "European Meetings of the Culture" in (Germany). Romain has since turned several whole buildings into works of art, transforming many edifices into colourful, Trompe-l'œil, masterpieces. Often the buildings are local authority premises, such as the Saint Mandé council offices, Paris, for which Romain won the prize for the world's largest mural in 1990. The mural covered an area of 1200 m2 and was commissioned to celebrate the year of Charles de Gaulle.Near Tancarville, in Normandy, he composes "the breath of the earth" in Saint-Romain-de-Colbosc. It is the dressing of a public building, by using industrial materials like ready-made. Another of his well-known works is the Statue of Europe, commissioned by Brussels and which holds centre place Jean Rey in the same town. The statue, named Unity in Peace, depicts various arms supporting the European symbol, topped by the dove of peace. It was designed to represent the ethnic diversity within Europe and as a message of brotherhood, tolerance and hope. Made out of resin, it measures more than five metres and weighs nearly 800 kg and was erected to celebrate the year of people with disabilities in 2003. It was manufactured, modelled, polished and painted by children of different cultures with impaired vision, under Romain's supervision.In 2016, a replica of the Statue of Europe is inaugurated at Pollestres in France.

This work presents the seven islands: Tenerife, La Gomera, El Hierro, La Palma, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote (island of César Manrique). A traditional Canarian house was torn down to be replaced with the building that became the Fisherman's museum in Puerto Santiago. In 2002 Romain decided the plain fronted, modern edifice needed brightening up and approached the local council with his design.The drab frontage was transformed into a two-storey sea themed mural that incorporates sculptures of fishermen. He is going to live in Icod de los Vinos, where he installs his studio. There, he prepares numerous exhibitions in all Europe, islands and Spain. It was for him the opportunity to know many friendships and numerous personalities, artists, poets and writers. <mask>in museum

In Congress, <mask> supported liberal international program such as the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, and NATO. He called for removal of ethnic and racial restrictions in the immigration laws. He was an outspoken anti-communist and critic of U.S. rapprochement with China at the expense of the Republic of China on Taiwan.In the early 1950s, <mask> helped organize the Committee of One Million, a citizens' group dedicated to keeping the People's Republic of China out of the United Nations. <mask> was a strong advocate of the foreign aid program, a position which brought him into sharp contrast with colleague Otto Passman, a Democrat from Monroe, Louisiana who chaired the House Foreign Operations Subcommittee, which maintains jurisdiction over such programs. Passman explained his longstanding criticism of the program: "First, we cannot spend ourselves rich. Second, we cannot make ourselves secure by giving ourselves away. Third, we cannot buy friends. We were once told that foreign aid would stop communism. Now we are told it is our duty to buy our way of life for countries all over the world.But we cannot in fact improve their living standards by as much as 1 percent even if we should give away everything we own." <mask> gave the keynote address at the 1960 Republican National Convention, which met in Chicago to nominate the Nixon-Lodge ticket. In 1962, <mask> was defeated for reelection by liberal Democrat Donald M. Fraser. The District had been redrawn after the 1960 census, making it heavily Democratic. <mask>'s defeat worked to increase Passman's power on the foreign aid subcommittee.

As he appealed simultaneously to American national interests and a popular Christian moral conscience, the <mask> experience demonstrated that determined courageous advocacy by missionaries did in fact help to shape an American foreign policy needing to be awakened from its isolationist slumbers."

In 1981, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the nation's highest civilian award). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he was actively involved in the Council Against Communist Aggression in Washington D.C.

<mask> (June 23, 1880 – October 30, 1958) was an American surgeon, best known for establishing Guthrie Clinic in Sayre, Pennsylvania in 1910. One of nation's earliest multi-specialty group medical practices, <mask> based the formation of the clinic that bears his name on the principles he learned while a surgical resident (1906 - 1909) at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Early life
<mask> was born into a prominent family in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. His father, George W<mask>, MD, was a  physician and surgeon in Northeast Pennsylvania. His mother, <mask>, was from a pioneering industrial family, tracing her ancestry to Matthias Hollenback, one of the oldest families in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. <mask> received his early education in schools in Wilkes-Barre; received a degree in philosophy from Yale University in 1901; followed by a medical degree in 1905 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. After <mask>'s death, a "<mask> Professorship in Surgery" was created in his honor at both Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania.Group practice model

After serving a year and a half at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital as an intern, <mask> went to Rochester, Minnesota, where for three years and four months (1906 - 1909) he was a member of the staff of physicians and surgeons as a resident working alongside Charles Horace Mayo, William James Mayo (sons of William Worrall Mayo), and E. Starr Judd, early pioneers of the medical group practice model being developed at Mayo. <mask> was the first "Easterner" to be formally trained at Mayo performed and assisted in nearly 4,000 operations while at Mayo. The benefits to patients of a group practice that <mask> learned under the tutelage of William and Charles Mayo had a profound effect on him. Those values of putting the needs of the patient first, teamwork, and excellence in patient care, became the foundation of the group practice that bears his name. These values continue to guide

<mask> was recommended to serve as Superintendent and Surgeon-in-Chief of Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre, Pennsylvania in November 1909, and arrived in Sayre to assume charge of the hospital on January 10, 1910. At that time Sayre was a small town in a rural area.The primary industry was the Lehigh Valley Railroad repair yard, known as the "Big Shops," one of the largest such facilities in the world at one time, employing thousands of men. The town was named in honor of Robert Heysham Sayre (1824–1907) who was vice president and chief engineer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The area's only hospital, named in memory of Robert Asa Packer (son of Asa Packer), established in 1885 had 10 beds at the time <mask> was named to his post. <mask> chose to start his career in just such a small town. As he stated in his remarks upon being honored by the Borough of Sayre on, September 28, 1957, "I accepted the position at the hospital upon the advice of my father, because he pointed out that I could have complete charge of a small hospital in a small town and could carry out the staff organization that I had learned at the Mayo Clinic." Building a group practice

One of <mask>'s first acts at the small hospital was to appoint an associate and an x-ray technician, to join an intern already on staff. He established the Ear, Eye Nose and Throat department in 1912, followed in 1913 by the Pathological department, and later the Urological and Medical departments.For the first few years <mask> was also responsible for all of the non-medical activities of the hospital, including collecting money, paying wages, and ordering food. In 1912 Howard E. Bishop was appointed as hospital Superintendent, relieving <mask> of those duties. In <mask>'s report to the hospital Board of Directors in 1912, he stated, "The board has been wise to increase the size of the staff, I hope in the future, and I am confident that it will be but a short time, before we will

The number of private rooms grew when an annex was added to the hospital in 1914, and in 1915 a new operating pavilion, children's ward and additional private rooms were added. <mask>'s efforts to build a group practice associated with a well-regarded hospital continued to be successful, even through difficult and stressful times. During World War I, <mask> had been given a commission in Base Hospital No.26 - the Mayo Unit - but the Robert Packer Hospital Board of Trustees asked he be deferred so he could stay to treat patients at their facility. Five other physicians and many nurses did go abroad. As WW I was ending, Sayre, like many other communities across the country, was impacted by the 1918 flu pandemic. Despite the fact that a number of physicians and nurses were ill, the staff carried on admirably. According to the 1919 Hospital Annual Report, "During the 1918 epidemic of influenza, the Hospital did splendid work caring for over 300 cases of the disease." The hospital also suffered a devastating fire in 1933, which destroyed an entire wing. No lives were lost and the hospital continued to function, caring for all its displaced patients.The hospital Board of Trustees met the following day and voted to start construction of a new facility. The new seven-story building opened the next year. None of these obstacles stood in the way of <mask>'s plans to provide the medical care to the people of the region. By the mid-1920s patient demand and numbers of staff had grown to the point that current facilities were inadequate. As the hospital grew, <mask> also led numerous efforts to develop the facilities he felt his staff required to provide the best patient care, including a new nurses' residence, built in 1926. In 1928 the hospital constructed a physician office building for the growing staff, and named it Guthrie

The following decades saw continued growth as the reputations of <mask>, his staff and the hospital gained regional and national attention.By the time of his death in 1958, <mask>'s accomplishments were extensive. The small hospital in a small rural town had been transformed into a medical campus with a growing multi-specialty group practice of 42 physicians and surgeons, 26 residents and fellows, a research foundation, and a hospital of 340 beds with internship and residency programs. In recognition of his contributions to the health and well-being of those he served, <mask> was honored by the Sayre Borough Council when it named the four streets surrounding Howard Elmer Park "Guthrie Square," referring to <mask> as Sayre's "first citizen." Personal life
On December 2, 1916, <mask> married Emily Franklin Baker at the Church of the Heavenly Rest in New York City. Emily, known as "Gerry," to her friends was the daughter of Thomas and Emma Baker and was born in Brooklyn, New York. Because her parents were deceased, she was given in marriage by her uncle Herbert Baker. Mr. Baker was chairman of the Board of the Vacuum Oil Company, which later merged with Socony, or Standard Oil Company of New York, eventually becoming part of Mobil Oil.They had no children. Mrs. <mask> survived her husband and continued to be a key financial supporter of Robert Packer Hospital, Guthrie Clinic and the Guthrie Foundation. Professional accomplishments

National League coach and manager
His managing career began in the Cincinnati Reds' farm system in 1970 and in 1976 he was promoted to a coaching position with the defending World Series champion Reds, under Baseball Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson. In <mask>'s first season, Cincinnati's "Big Red Machine" dynasty reached its pinnacle with a second consecutive world championship, dispatching the New York Yankees in a four-game sweep in the 1976 World Series. However, the Reds' period in the sun began to

After compiling the best overall record in the National League West Division during the strike-affected split season of 1981, the Reds unraveled in 1982, plummeting into last place and losing 101 games.McNamara was fired July 21 and <mask> took his place. <mask> was unable to right the ship, as the Reds went 27–43 the rest of way en route to what is still the only 100-loss season in franchise history. When the Reds finished last again in 1983, <mask> was fired. He then coached for the Montreal Expos (1984–85) before signing as a coach with the Braves. <mask> worked for Chuck Tanner in 1986–87 before his appointment as pilot of the Greenville Braves, the club's Double-A Southern League affiliate, for 1988. While new general manager Bobby Cox had done much to rebuild the Braves' farm system, at the National League level Atlanta was in free fall. When the Braves dropped 27 of their first 39 games in 1988, <mask> was recalled from Greenville to succeed Tanner on May 23—a rare promotion of a manager from AA all the way to the majors.However, the losses continued to pile up. The 1988 Braves finished 54–106, the worst season in the Atlanta portion of Braves history and the franchise's worst since its struggles in Boston during the Great Depression. <mask> was unable turn the Braves' fortunes around in 1989 and 1990, seasons in which the Braves lost 97 games each, despite breaking in talented young pitchers such as Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Steve Avery.

<mask> () (March 18, 1933, Baku – June 28, 2008, Moscow) Soviet Russian artist and sculptor. A member of the USSR Union of Artists (1975)

Biography and professional activity
In 1956 <mask> graduated from the Baku Art School. Then he enrolled and graduated from the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, being qualified as a sculptor - artist and continued to live and work in Moscow. From 1963 to 1965 Nikolai worked as a sculptor in a sculptural production factory of RSFSR. In 1965 <mask> was invited to Moscow Architectural Institute (State Academy) – MarchI first as a teacher at the Department of the figure, and then as a sculptor, where he was working for over 13 years. In 1975 N<mask> was admitted to the USSR Union of Artists on the recommendation of members of the Union of artists - sculptors A. Stemkovsky, D. Shakhovsky and N. Lavinsky, who believed that N. Markarov entered the list of the thirty best sculptors of the USSR.Besides the main work of the sculptor -artist N. Markarov illustrated books, wrote poetry and prose.

texts: a man and of the divinity of a man. We are captivated by so soft, friendly, love game of the artist with paper space. It's a very rare, just exceptional phenomenon. Nowadays such masters are few. I think that he will be recalled very often. His wealth of nature is not confined only to graphics.<mask> was also a theater artist and a poet, and an illustrator of many books, including his own ones. He was gifted by nature and did not know restraints in his imagination, and this fantasy is a kind of discovery of the world for us. The main theme of Nikolai Markarov is the image of beauty, the image of a woman, his companion or just the one met by his enamored eye, a caught character, and he immediately embodies them with simple means. Nikolai Markarov seems to catch a glimpse of a face in a crowd; he grabs beautiful faces and wants to remember them, as found little treasures. Sometimes these images are pinched out, the line is so solid, being the formula of the character, and the other vice versa are very lazy, very naughty. It is this combination of confidence and freedom that is particularly interesting, because the artist was coming from one method to another and was not afraid to experiment. Nikolai Markarov has left wonderful heritage for us.The artist remains alive for us, a living master, who tells us that we need to endure routine and everyday life philosophically patiently and even heroically and try to rise above it.

<mask> (born c. 1965) is an American print journalist and author who has covered a range of topics for magazines including Spin, Rolling Stone, Esquire, Harper's, Interview, Salon, Gear, New York Press, Media Post, The New York Post and Sunday Herald, and has been particularly noted for her beliefs about HIV and AIDS, and a 1998 report on O. J. Simpson's post-trial life. <mask> is the daughter of radio talk pioneer <mask> and a graduate of New York University. Farber has written extensively about HIV/AIDS and AIDS denialists such as Peter Duesberg. <mask> claims that she never expresses her own views about whether HIV causes AIDS and instead merely reports that some people disagree with the mainstream scientific viewpoint. Her writings have been criticized by scientists and journalists for promoting AIDS denialism. Spin columns
In 1987, at the encouragement of Bob Guccione Jr., her editor at Spin magazine, Farber began exploring questions related to the role of the HIV virus in AIDS. She wrote and edited a monthly column in Spin titled "Words From the Front" from 1987 to 1995, which was focused on the subject of AIDS denialism.She says that her interest in the field was sparked when, as an intern at Spin, she heard of AL-721, a lipid mixture derived from eggs that was proposed as an anti-HIV drug. She stated, "I was very young, and I believed instantly in the mythological fantasy that there was a quote 'cure' for AIDS that was being suppressed by the government and by the pharmaceutical industry." <mask>'s second Spin column was an interview with prominent AIDS denialist Peter Duesberg. In a later interview, she noted her first

texts: interview aroused response for what she believed was touching on the "taboo" of questioning the mainstream view that HIV causes AIDS. In another interview, she said she recognized that publishing an interview with Duesberg would be viewed as an endorsement of his denialist views, but believed as a journalist it was her responsibility to report on what she considered an important event in the "landscape" of AIDS. She also stated she felt that as a journalist, she was not qualified to determine what causes AIDS. In a 1989 column for Spin, <mask> interviewed researchers and doctors who felt AZT, the first approved antiretroviral medication for the treatment of HIV, had been pushed precipitously through the United States Food and Drug Administration approval process owing to political pressures.She criticized this process because she felt it led to ignoring other possible treatments, and believed she had to "give voice" to the small minority of scientists at that time who felt AZT was dangerous. Her column was criticized by the scientist running trials on AZT, as "sensationalistic drivel of half-truths and noncritical journalism that sells tabloids" and could lead to people avoiding life-saving treatment with AZT. <mask> rejected criticism that this column was essentially scaring people into avoiding AZT, saying that was not her intent. A Los Angeles Times column criticized the tone of her column as "fear-mongering" and "inexcusable," due to her giving Duesberg the last words in her column. Duesberg's words were called "hyperbolic blather", because Duesberg invoked Heinrich Himmler and compared people taking AZT to "people running

 into the gas chambers". "Out of Control"
<mask> published a 2006 Harper's article, "Out of Control: AIDS and the corruption of medical science," which criticized the ethics of the antiretroviral drug industry and examined the arguments by Duesberg that HIV does not cause AIDS. <mask>'s article was widely criticized for its promotion of AIDS denialism and its many inaccuracies.A New York Times op-ed written by scientists described <mask>'s article as promoting "deadly quackery" for denying the "established fact" that HIV causes AIDS, which could lead to resurgence of the disease if people began to believe HIV was harmless. The Columbia Journalism Review chided Harper’s for "giving...legitimacy" to "an illegitimate and discredited idea." Harper's editor Roger Hodge defended <mask> from criticism, stating the article was thoroughly fact-checked and that <mask> was "courageous" for covering a story that came at "great personal cost". <mask> said that she did not endorse the Duesberg hypothesis and that she had approached the story as an objective journalist, stating: "People can't distinguish, it seems, between describing dissent and being dissent." An article in the New York Observer juxtaposed her stated position of not endorsing Duesberg's views with previous statements she made questioning the mainstream view of HIV, and questioned whether she had herself become a "dissenter". In response to <mask>'s column, leading AIDS researchers published a 37-page rebuttal to Duesberg's views, whose views these researchers believed were long disproved in the medical community, while others in the medical community criticized her column for

 being poorly fact checked and containing "glaring errors". Seth Kalichmann, HIV researcher, has stated this Harper's column "represented a breakthrough of HIV/AIDS denialism into mainstream media".Maggiore article
In June 2006, <mask> wrote an article for the Los Angeles CityBeat in defense of Christine Maggiore, an HIV-positive AIDS denialist, whose three-year-old daughter had died from AIDS the year before. Maggiore avoided medical treatment during pregnancy that could have prevented her children from becoming infected with HIV before birth, and she did not have her children tested for HIV after they were born, so they could not be treated for HIV. Maggiore's daughter, Eliza Jane, was found to be HIV-positive only after she died of AIDS-related complications in 2005. Maggiore herself died of AIDS-related complications in 2008, at the age of 52. Serious Adverse Events
A collection of <mask>'s AIDS writings, Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS, was published in 2006. Interviewed by Discover Magazine in connection with her book's publication, she stated that she felt many of the older mainstream ideas about HIV were proven wrong and defended the decision to devote her reporting to the AIDS-denialist viewpoint as important for journalistic reasons. In 2008 she was awarded the Semmelweis Clean Hands Award for her reporting on AIDS.Other work
<mask> describes herself as "a vocal and persistent critic of political correctness and the McCarthyism that reigned in sexual harassment law in the 1990s." During her time as a writer at Spin, <mask> was romantically involved with the magazine's publisher and editor, Bob

texts:
<mask> from the kindred Atyusz (also Oguz; ; died after 1233) was a Hungarian influential baron, the most outstanding member of his family, who served as Judge royal from 1215 to 1217, during the reign of Andrew II of Hungary. Family

He was born into the Atyusz kindred as the eldest son of <mask> II (also known as <mask> the Great), who inherited the majority of the family property from his brother (or uncle), the childless Stephen, according to the latter's will and testament. He had at least one younger brother, Lawrence, who also functioned as Judge royal for a short time in 1222 (former genealogical works incorrectly referred to Lawrence as the child of Atyusz III). Perhaps Denis I was also a brother of Atyusz III and Lawrence. As a result of the extended clan, Atyusz III had several notable cousins, including Solomon (also Judge royal in 1222 and a close ally to Atyusz) and ispáns Miska III and Sal. 19th-century historian Mór Wertner mistakenly referred to Atyusz as a member of the Vázsony kindred. According to a non-authentic charter from the 1320s, which falsely dated 22 March 1262, Atyusz III's wife was lady Berbur from the Hont-Pázmány kindred as the daughter of Sebes Hont-Pázmány, the Master of the cupbearers between 1209 and 1217.As the charter says, comes Abraham, son of Sebes, sold Zánka to his sister, which he had formerly inherited from <mask> III, his brother-in-law. Although the document is definitely a forgery, nevertheless historian Gábor Nemes accepts the information can be found on <mask>'s marriage, as the objective of the diploma's falsification is not affected from this side. The non-authentic charter was part of a trial court between the Amadé and Szentgyörgyi families for the ownership of Várkony (today part of Vrakúň, Slovakia). <mask> III and Berbur had two children.

 one <mask> IV was mentioned as a living person only once in 1236 on the occasion of a possession sale. According to a royal charter issued by Béla IV of Hungary in 1244, <mask> IV was murdered by a certain Puchuna from Slavonia, who "had committed numerous murders and other crimes". As Béla IV writes, the whole kingdom mourned <mask> IV's death.They also had a younger son named Györk (or Gyurkó). He was first mentioned in 1248, when owned Sevnica (today in Slovenia). In 1251 he sold Pécsely to the Chapter of Veszprém, and also swore protection to the diocese. He married to an unidentified daughter of Michael Hahót (cousin of Ban and Christian martyr Buzád Hahót). They had a son, <mask> V, who owned Dabrony in 1274. Two years later, <mask> V was charged disloyalty by Ladislaus IV of Hungary, who confiscated his ownership, the Szentmiklós Castle and donated to <mask>, Archbishop of Esztergom and his brothers, Dedalus, ispán of Zala County (1273–1274), Beke and Stephen. <mask> V died without lands and heirs, thus Atyusz <mask>'s branch became extinct with him in 1276.Career
<mask> first appeared in contemporary records in 1202, as head of Fejér County until 1203, during the last years of King Emeric. As he was loyal to Duke Andrew, he lost his political influence after 1203, when Emeric's brother rose up in open rebellion against the King at umpteenth time in the autumn of 1203. He regained his influence at the royal court only after the unexpected death of the child Ladislaus III in 1205. Andrew II, who had ascended the throne appointed him ispán of Zala County and held the position until 1206. According to a charter, he governed Pozsony County, one of the most important territorial units, in 1207. In the same year, he also served as ispán of Veszprém and Vas Counties. From 1209 to 1212, he held the office

As László Markó suggests, <mask> already held the ispánate since 1209, however this rumor is not supported by Attila Zsoldos' work. Only one charter preserved his first term as Ban, when Atyusz sent his  Lawrence Ajkai on the occasion of a legal transaction. In 1215, Andrew II nominated him as Judge royal, the second-highest secular position in Hungary. He was also head of Bács County in that year. He served as Judge royal until 1217, nevertheless, according to a non-authentic record, he held the dignity even in 1218. In 1216, he purchased the estate of Tomaj from Palatine Pat Győr, who had received the land as compensation from King Andrew, who confiscated it from Tiba Tomaj, who had murdered Palatine Csépán Győr, Pat's brother, before.Shall soon, <mask> sold the estate. <mask>, alongside his brother Lawrence, participated in Andrew's Fifth Crusade between 1217 and 1218. Returning home, <mask> lent 200 silver marks to the Crown in exchange for returning Kamešnica, which was previously confiscated by Béla <mask> of Hungary from the kindred. Thus Andrew II was able to pay the royal court's huge debts, caused by the Fifth Crusade, on which Pope <mask> forced him to organize. In 1219 (or earlier) <mask> was appointed Judge royal for Queen Yolanda. He held that dignity until 1221. Beside that he was also ispán of Bodrog (1219) and Varaždin Counties (1220).He served as Ban of Slavonia for the second time, replacing his cousin Solomon Atyusz. The name of the dignity appeared once as "Ban of Dalmatia and Croatia" () in 1221. Atyusz released the earliest known charter issued by a Ban (preserved in Zadar), when judged over the Saints Cosmas and Damian monastery of Biograd na Moru () and the Knights Templar during a trial

 court. Following the Golden Bull of 1222, he disappeared from the sources for years. From 1226, he again served as Judge royal in the queen's court. Beside that he was elected head of Bodrog County in 1228. He functioned as Judge royal for the Queen until 1229, when he was replaced by Peter Tétény.<mask> III became embroiled in a conflict with Bartholomew, Bishop of Veszprém in 1232, which proved to be the first milestone towards the noble self-determination. According to Bartholomew's accusation, <mask> III had "unjustly and violently seized and retained the diocesan land of Wezmech, and he refused to give back". In contrast, <mask>sz kindred's ancient property. Local nobles from Zala County, called royal servants, cited the lord and his potential witnesses in front of their own tribunal at three times, but <mask> did not deign to answer them. Thus the nobles judged in favour of Bartholomew. The royal servants issued the so-called Kehida Diploma to call King Andrew II to recognise their verdict as compulsory, because Atyusz refused to give back the land to the Diocese of Veszprém and prevented by force  Andornok Apáti to execute the judgment. Later, the royal servants were able to enforce the verdict as Bartholomew sold Wezmech to Michael Hahót in 1239.The Kehida Diploma was the first sign of the formation of "noble counties". From the 1230s, the terminology used in the royal charters when they referred to "royal servants" began to change and they were more and more frequently mentioned as "noble servants" () and later, as "nobles or servants" (), while finally, the Decree of 1267 issued by King Béla IV identified the "royal servants" with the nobles.
