title: Giuseppe Benedetto Dusmet

texts:
<mask> (15 August 1818 - 4 April 1894) - born <mask> - was an Italian Roman Catholic cardinal who served as the Archbishop of Catania from 1867 until his death. He became professed into the Order of Saint Benedict where he took "Benedetto" as his religious name. He studied under the Benedictines prior to joining them before serving as a professor in addition to prior and abbot. His elevation to the episcopate saw him distinguish himself in cholera epidemics when he tended to the ill while also remaining a strong advocate for the poor of his archdiocese. He remained a Benedictine and was known to continue to don the Benedictine habit instead of the red cardinal's regalia. His beatification was celebrated on 25 September 1988. Life

Education

<mask> was born in Palermo in 1818 as the first of six children to the nobles <mask> and Maria dei Dragonetti.His house could be traced back to Flanders in Belgium. Dusmet was baptized just hours after his birth in the archdiocesan cathedral as "<mask> Giacomo Filippo Lupo Domenico Antonio Rosolino Melchiorre Francesco di Paola Benedetto Gennaro". He would be referred to as Melchiorre at home. His siblings were:
 Marianna
 Carlo
 Tommaso
 Diomede
 Raffaele
His two maternal uncles Vincenzo and Leopoldo Dragonetti were both monks from the Order of Saint Benedict. Dusmet was educated at the San Martino delle Scales convent in Monreale from 1824. It was around this time that the Dusmet's moved to Naples and his father made him return there in 1832 since he feared exposure in the convent would mean his son would harbor the desire to follow an ecclesial path. But Dusmet returned to the school in 1834 when his father realized that he could not change his son's vocation.He would later teach philosophical and theological studies at Benedictine houses. He entered the Benedictines at Montecassino and chose the name "Benedetto" as his middle name after professing his formal vows on 15 August 1840 into the hands of Eugenio Villaraut. In preparation for his profession he went on a

 retreat where the preacher was the future cardinal Michelangelo Celesia who became his lifelong friend. Priesthood
He received the subdiaconate from Archbishop Domenico Balsamo on 11 October 1840 in the archiepiscopal palace and would later receive the diaconate from the same prelate in the same location on 15 November 1840. He was ordained to the priesthood on 18 September 1841 and had to receive a special dispensation to be ordained since he was under the canonical age requirement. In 1845 he began serving as an aide to the abbot Carlo Antonio Buglio and travelled with him as the latter made visitations to the Caltanissetta and Catania convents. The General Chapter in 1847 saw Buglio - and Dusmet accompanied him - moved to the San Flavio convent of Caltanissetta.Dusmet served as the prior for the Santi Severino e Sossio convent in Naples from 12 June 1850 until May 1852 (during the General Chapter at Montecassino) when he was named as the prior for the San Flavio convent in Caltanissetta. He held that position until 1858 when the General Chapter at Perugia named him as the abbot for the San Nicolò l'Arena convent. But he no longer could hold that position as of 15 October 1866 after the Italian kingdom was established with the state confiscating all religious properties. Episcopate and cardinalate
He was appointed Archbishop of Catania in 1867 and he received his episcopal consecration on 10 March in the Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura in Rome from Antonio Saverio De Luca. Pietro Giannelli and <mask> Papardo del Parco served as co-consecrators. Dusmet issued his first pastoral letter to the faithful on 14 March. He served as a Council Father at the First Vatican Council that Pope Pius IX had convoked.Dusmet could not assume formal possession of his episcopal see since the new political situation with the kingdom saw the government approve bishops prior to formal enthronement. The government did not grant Dusmet the "exequatur" until 1878 when he was then enthroned in Catania. Dusmet was later

 elevated to the cardinalate in 1889 with Pope Leo XIII naming him as the Cardinal-Priest of Santa Pudenziana. He did not receive the red hat and title until a week after his elevation. <mask> was close friends with the fellow Sicilian cardinal <mask> and he knew also Giuseppina Faro. <mask> was also awarded as a Grand Cross Knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher and was also awarded the Gold Medal for the Benefits of Public Health on 23 November 1889 in Rome due to his efforts in aiding the ill in cholera epidemics. Death
<mask> died on 4 April 1894 at around 10:30pm and was buried in the chapel of the Confraternita dei Bianci at a funeral on 6 April that started at 10:00am and ended with his burial at 4:30pm.He had fallen ill at the beginning of 1894 and on 2 April left instructions not to be embalmed and to have a simple funeral. On 4 April attempts at artificial respiration were stopped when doctors said that <mask>'s death was imminent. His final words echoed that of Jesus Christ: "it is finished". His relics were later translated to the Catania Cathedral in May 1904. Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster - future Blessed and a Benedictine himself - unveiled a monument dedicated to <mask> in Catania in 1935. Beatification

The process for <mask>'s beatification opened in Catania in an informative phase of investigation that opened on 7 January 1931 and closed in 1937 prior theologians approving his spiritual writings on 5 February 1941. Two additional process were held with one in Turin in 1936 and another one in Montecassino from 1935 to 1937.The formal introduction to his cause came under Pope Pius XII on 2 January 1949 which titled Dusmet as a Servant of God. An apostolic process was later held in Catania from 1949 to 1951. The Congregation for Rites validated the two processes in Rome in a decree issued on 17 March 1954 and the cause passed three bodies for approval. The first was the antepreparatory congregation which assessed and approved the cause on 1 March 1960 with a second preparatory one

 meeting on 15 December 1964. The last general committee met and approved the cause not long after on 18 May 1965. The confirmation of his life of heroic virtue on 15 July 1965 led to Pope Paul VI naming <mask> as Venerable. <mask>'s beatification then depended on the papal confirmation of a miracle attributed to his intercession.One such case was investigated in Catania and sent to officials in Rome for additional assessment after the diocesan phase concluded on 7 December 1987. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved the diocesan investigation and validated it on 5 March 1988 with medical experts approving (unanimous vote) the healing's miraculous nature on 1 June 1988. Theologians met (unanimous approval) on 1 July 1988 and the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. also affirmed the healing as a miracle on 19 July 1988. Papal confirmation to this miracle came from Pope John Paul II on 1 September 1988 who presided over Dusmet's beatification in Saint Peter's Square on 25 September 1988. Beatification miracle
The miracle leading to his canonization was the cure of Salvatore Consoli (18.02.1886-16.11.1971) who fell from a staircase aged 51 and contracted high fevers and acute spinal pain. He was hospitalized two months later while a month after was found to have a serious condition in which there was partial destruction of the spine.Consoli's condition worsened but appeals were made to <mask> for healing - the pain ceased and his fever disappeared with the spine restoring itself. Consoli died from stomach cancer decades after. References

<mask> (born 8 June 1975) is a Danish retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He is currently the first team goalkeeping coach at Shrewsbury Town. He played more than 300 English league games for Burnley and West Bromwich Albion. <mask> started his career with Danish lower-league club B.93, before joining Dutch Eredivisie club AZ Alkmaar in 1997.

He joined Burnley in 2003 and played more than 300 games in all competitions, helping the club win promotion to the top-flight Premier League in 2009. Career

Early career
Born and raised in the Nørrebro quarter of Copenhagen, <mask> began playing football as a defender in the youth team of B 93.As the youth team goalkeeper lacked height, the keeper job was given to the "biggest and dumbest" player of the team, according to <mask> himself. He was a substitute to goalkeeper Jan Hoffmann at the B 93 senior team. His goalkeeping talent caught the attention of Dutch outfit AZ when he was named best goalkeeper at a youth tournament in the Netherlands. He was loaned out from Alkmaar to Danish club Hvidovre IF for eight months, while finishing his electrician education, before going to play as a full-time professional for Alkmaar in February 1998. <mask> managed one appearance in the Eredivisie championship in his time at Alkmaar, serving exclusively as a substitute for Dutch international keeper Oscar Moens. West Bromwich Albion
While waiting for his Alkmaar contract to run out, <mask> trained with Division One side West Bromwich Albion, where his imposing stature earned him the nickname "The Beast". When West Brom keeper Chris Adamson was asked to comment on <mask>, he told reporters he was "nothing but a beast".<mask> moved to West Brom for a fee of £80,000 in March 2000. He made his Albion debut on 7 March 2000 and kept a

 clean sheet in a 2–0 victory over Tranmere Rovers. He stayed at West Brom for three years, playing a total of 50 games. He helped the club survive in Division One in 1999–2000, and was a regular for much of the following season, until the arrival of Russell Hoult saw the end of <mask>'s playing time for WBA in February 2001. <mask> never re-gained a regular place, playing only one match in Albion's promotion season of 2001–02. He moved on in 2003, after West Brom were relegated, finishing 19th in the Premier League. Burnley

He joined Burnley on 30 June 2003 on a free transfer.During his first season at Burnley, he was the only goalkeeper on their books. The club avoided relegation by just two points, finishing in 19th position in the First Division. After the arrival of Danny Coyne in the summer of 2004, he found himself second choice keeper at Turf Moor, but through good form and a serious injury to Coyne he earned his place back in the starting line-up. Following impressive form in autumn 2004, <mask> criticised national team manager Morten Olsen for not having watched him play, when <mask> thought he had earned a place in the Danish national squad. After a run of performances in which <mask>'s form was found lacking by Burnley manager Steve Cotterill, goalkeeper Mike Pollitt was brought on loan to Turf Moor in January 2007. In response to being left out of the Burnley team for a match at Southampton, <mask> wanted to leave the club, and on 22 January 2007 Burnley placed him on the transfer list. However, by April of that year, <mask> had not only re-established himself as the club's first-choice but his relationship with Cotterill had improved and he was taken off the transfer list.Burnley brought in another goalkeeper, Gábor Király, before the 2007–08 season and <mask> found himself once again seemingly second choice, spending four months out of the team from mid-September.

title: Odilo of Cluny

texts:
<mask> of Cluny (c. 962 – 1 January 1049) was the fifth Benedictine Abbot of Cluny, holding the post for around 54 years. During his tenure Cluny became the most important monastery in western Europe. <mask> actively worked to reform the monastic practices not only at Cluny, but at other Benedictine houses. He also promoted the Truce of God whereby military hostilities were temporarily suspended at certain times for ostensibly religious reasons. <mask> encouraged the formal practice of personal consecration to Mary. He established All Souls' Day (on 2 November) in Cluny and its monasteries as the annual commemoration to pray for all the faithful departed. The practice was soon adopted throughout the whole Western church.Early life
<mask> was descended from an illustrious noble family of Auvergne (central France). The son of Berald de Mercoeur and Gerberga, his widowed mother became a nun at the convent of St. John in Autun after his father's death. <mask> had eight brothers and two sisters. One of his sisters married and the other became an abbess. When he was a child, he was partially paralyzed and had to be carried by the family servants on a stretcher. One day while the family was travelling, they came to a church and <mask> was left with the luggage at the church door. The door was open, and little <mask> felt God was calling him to crawl to the altar.He got to the altar and tried to stand up, but failed. He tried again and finally succeeded: he was able to walk around the altar. It was believed that he had been cured of the unnamed malady by the intervention of Our Lady. As a child, he developed a great devotion to the Virgin Mary. While still quite young, he entered the seminary of St. Julien in Brioude, where he became a
specialist in canon law. William of Dijon persuaded him to enter the monastery of Cluny. In 991, at the age of twenty-nine, he entered Cluny and before the end of his year of

 probation was made coadjutor to Abbot Mayeul, and shortly before the latter's death (994) was made abbot and received Holy orders.<mask>’s abbacy
His fifty years as Abbot were distinguished for the exceeding gentleness of his rule. It was usual with him to say, that of two extremes he chose rather to offend by tenderness, than a too rigid severity. He was known for showing mercy indiscriminately even to those who people said did not deserve it. He would say in response, ‘I would rather be mercifully judged for having shown mercy, than be cruelly damned for having shown cruelty." Of small stature and insignificant appearance, <mask> was a man of immense force of character. He was a man of prayer and penance, with a great devotion to the Incarnation and to the Blessed Mother. <mask> encouraged the formal practice of personal consecration to Mary.He also encouraged learning in his monasteries, and had the monk Radolphus Glaber write a history of the time. He erected a magnificent monastery building, and furthered the reform of the Benedictine monasteries. It was during his abbacy that Cluny became the most important monastery in western Europe. During a great famine in 1006, his liberality to the poor was by many censured as profuse; for he melted down the sacred vessels and ornaments to raise funds. Pope John XIX offered <mask> the archbishopric of Lyons, but <mask> refused and the pope then chided <mask> for disobedience. John XIX died shortly after and his successor (Benedict IX) did not press the matter any further. He is also said to have influenced the course of the famous pilgrimage route to Santiago, which runs near the monasteries.Monastic autonomy
During this period it was very common for secular lords and local rulers to try to either take control of monasteries or to seize their property. Not only this, but local bishops often also tried to impose their own authority on monasteries or to

texts: seize monastery property. It was precisely for this reason that from the earliest days of Cluny's history, Cluny did not affiliate itself with the authority of any diocese except Rome and received its charter directly from the Pope. Several Popes decreed an automatic excommunication to any bishop or secular ruler who tried to interfere or seize Cluniac property (including both the monastery and all the monasteries and properties that were owned by Cluny). However, many times the monks needed this order of excommunication renewed and repeated by the Popes because each new generation would bring a new round of figures who would go after Cluniac property. All of the abbots of Cluny in this period had to deal with this problem, and <mask> was no exception. He attended the Synod of Ansa in 994 for this reason and successfully got the bishops present at the synod to make a statement excommunicating anyone who attacked Cluniac property.In 997 he went to Rome to make secure the status of Cluny. In 998 he obtained from Pope Gregory V. Cluny complete freedom by the diocesan Bishop and 1024 the extension of this privilege on all dependent Cluny abbeys and priories. In 1025 Gauzlin, bishop of Mâcon, claimed that the archbishop of Vienne needed his approval to give ordination to monks in Cluny. In answer to this <mask> produced the papal documents granting Cluny freedom from local diocesan control. A council at Ansa in southern Gaul nevertheless condemned <mask>'s position because it claimed that the Council of Chalcedon (in 451) had decreed that the ordination of monks had to occur with diocesan consent. In answer to this, the Pope then wrote letters to various parties involved with the dispute and condemned Gauzlin's position. The Pope further decreed that any bishop who tried to enter a Cluniac monastery to even celebrate a mass would suffer automatic excommunication, unless he had been invited by the abbot.The

 dispute when on for years. In Germany the Cluny policy had no permanent success, as the monks there were more inclined to individualism. <mask> visited Henry II on several occasions and because of his closeness to him, he was able to intercede on several occasions for people who had disputes with him. When Henry II was crowned King of Italy in 1004, <mask> attended the ceremony. The following day there was a revolt against Henry in Pavia which was quickly crushed and the defeated party went to find <mask> so that he could ask Henry on their behalf for mercy. <mask> agreed and was able to persuade Henry, who respected his holiness so greatly, to hold back his hand and give mercy to the rebels. When Henry was crowned as Holy Roman Emperor in Rome in 1014, <mask> also was present.He arrived in Rome before Christmas and spent several months together with Henry up to his coronation in February 1014. The Pope presented Henry with the gift of a golden apple ('orb') with a cross on it, representing his empire. Henry later sent this gift to Cluny. When Henry died in 1024, Cluny's houses said many prayers and masses for him. During the famine of 1006, <mask> sold the gold crown the Holy Roman Emperor Henry II had presented to the abbey, in order to relieve the hunger, thereby saving thousands from starvation. He also attended the coronation of Conrad II who succeeded Henry and had a similarly good relationship with him, and thus got the Emperor to give favour to Cluny. When there was a failed revolt against Conrad in Pavia in 1026, <mask> again interceded for mercy from the Emperor for the defeated rebels.In 1046 <mask> was present at the coronation of Henry III in Rome. Reform
The rule of St. Benedict was substituted in Cluny for the domestic rule of Isidore. Under <mask>'s rule not only Cluny made rapid progress but Benedictine monasteries in general were reformed and many new foundations made. <mask> threw

 the full Cluniac influence into the fight against simony, concubinage and the uncanonical marriage of the laity. The abbots of Cluny were constantly called to reform other monasteries; however, many reformed communities soon slipped back into their old ways. <mask> sought to prevent this by making them subject to Cluny: he appointed every prior of every Cluniac house, and the profession of every monk in the remotest monastery was made in his name and subject to his sanction. During his tenure thirty abbeys accepted Cluny as their mother house, and its practices were adopted by many more which did not affiliate.King Robert II of France allied himself with the Reform party. and the Cluniac reform spread through Burgundy, Provence, Auvergne, Poitou, and much of Italy and Spain. The English monastic reform undertaken by Dunstan, Æthelwold of Winchester and Oswald of Worcester under Cluniac influence is a conspicuous instance of <mask>'s success by example. On account of his services in the reform <mask> was called by Fulbert of Chartres the "Archangel of the Monks". Truce of God

The Truce of God arose in the eleventh century amid the anarchy of feudalism as a remedy for the powerlessness of lay authorities to enforce respect for the public peace. There was then an epidemic of private wars, which made Europe a battlefield bristling with fortified castles and overrun by armed bands who respected nothing, not even sanctuaries, clergy, or consecrated days. Massacres and plunders were common in that age, by the right which every petty lord pretended of revenging his own injuries and quarrels by private wars.<mask> actively promoted the Truce of God whereby military hostilities were suspended at certain times for ostensibly religious reasons. The Truce had great economic importance as it allowed commerce to continue so that people could survive; it also guaranteed sanctuary to those who sought refuge in a

 church. The penalty for violating the ban was excommunication. While the Truce of God was a temporary suspension of hostilities, its jurisdiction was broader that the Peace of God. It confirmed permanent peace for all churches and their grounds, the monks, clerks and chattels; all women, pilgrims, merchants and their servants, cattle and horses; and men at work in the fields. For all others peace was required throughout Advent, the season of Lent, and from the beginning of the Rogation days until eight days after Pentecost. This prohibition was subsequently extended to specific days of the week, viz., Thursday, in memory of the Ascension, Friday, the day of the Passion, and Saturday, the day of the Resurrection (council 1041).By the middle of the twelfth century the number of proscribed days was extended until there was left some eighty days for fighting. All Souls’ Day
According to one tale, a pilgrim was thrown during a storm on an island. There he had a vision of the souls in purgatory enduring the purification pain of flames as punishment for their sins. At home he went to <mask> of Cluny to ask whether there is not one day in the year in a special way prayer could be for the souls of the deceased. <mask> instituted the annual commemoration of all the faithful departed, to be observed by the members of his community with alms, prayers, and sacrifices, for the relief of the suffering souls in purgatory. <mask> decreed that those requesting a Mass be offered for the departed should make a monetary offering for the poor, thus linking almsgiving with fasting and prayer for the dead. He established All Souls' Day (on 2 November) in Cluny and its monasteries (probably not in 998 but after 1030, and it was soon adopted in the whole Western church.Miracles and anecdotes
Many miracles were attributed to him by the tradition, such as increases in food or wine, empty bottles of wine filled up again, a fish

 that he divided to feed more than it could normally feed; he walked on water and ordered his servants to follow him, which they did without falling in. He, finally, healed the sick with touch and making the sign of the cross. Pope Benedict VIII, whom had been a close friend of <mask>, supposedly some time after dying appeared to John, bishop of Porto, along with two of his friends. The Pope claimed that he remained in purgatory, and asked that <mask> be informed so that he could pray for him. A message was given to <mask>, who then proceeded to call on all Cluniac houses to offer up prayers, masses and alms for the soul of the dead Pope. Not long after this, there was said to be a figure of light followed by a host of others in white garments that entered the cloister and knelt to <mask>; the figure informed him that he was the Pope and that he had now been freed from purgatory. Death
Many times in his life he visited Rome.In his last visit around the time of a papal election and an imperial coronation, he spent all of his time praying in different churches and in giving alms to the poor. He wished he could die there in Rome, but he then started on his journey back to Cluny. Along the way back, and not far from Rome, he had an accident with his horse that injured him. He had to be taken back to the city where so much grief was poured out for his sake that masses were offered for his recovery and the Pope visited his bedside. He stayed in the city until Easter and then left again to go back to Cluny. He continued to do his fasts and ascetic practices despite his old age and weakness. He decided to visit all the houses that Cluny had reformed, but when he visited Souvigny Priory he had to stop and remain there.At Christmas he had become so weak that he needed to be carried around the monastery. He was in St Mary's chapel when he died; he was praying for the souls in purgatory when he died. He died

 during the night of the New Year 1049, at the age of eighty-seven. After his death, miracles were also reported from his tomb, including healings. On the night of <mask>'s funeral, a monk named Gregorinius saw him. This monk had come a long distance to come to <mask>'s funeral. When the monk saw the dead abbot's spirit, he said to him, ‘how goes it with thee, master?‘ to which the spirit of <mask> replied, ‘Very well, oh brother, Christ Himself deigned to come and meet His servant.In the hour of my death He pointed out to me a fierce and terrible figure which, standing in a corner, would have terrified me by its huge monstrosity had not its malignancy been annulled by His presence.’

Writings
Of his writings we have but a few short and unimportant ones:
 a life of the holy Empress Adelaide to whom he was closely related
 a short biography of his predecessor, abbot Mayeul
 sermons on feasts of the ecclesiastical year
 some hymns and prayers
 a few letters from his extensive correspondence. Veneration
He was buried in Souvigny Priory, where he died, and was soon venerated as a saint. In 1063 Peter Damien undertook the process of his canonization, and wrote a short life, an abstract from the work of Jotsald, one of <mask>'s monks who accompanied him on his travels. In 1793, his relics, together with those of the previous Abbot Mayeul, were burned by French revolutionaries "on the altar of the fatherland". The feast of Saint <mask> was formerly 2 January, in Cluny, now it is celebrated on 19 January, and in Switzerland on 6 February. Elsewhere it is on 11 May. <mask> is patron of the souls in purgatory.The parish of Saint Odilo in Berwyn, Illinois is officially designated as "The National Shrine of the Souls in Purgatory".

Bertha "<mask><mask> (March 9, 1895 – October 3, 1990), known as <mask>, was an American dollmaker. Founder and owner of the Alexander Doll Company in New York City for 65 years, she introduced new materials and innovative designs to create lifelike dolls based on famous people and characters in books, films, music, and art. Among her notable creations were the Scarlett O'Hara doll, the Dionne quintuplets dolls, and a 36-doll set of the royal family and their guests at the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. During her stewardship, the company produced more than 5,000 dolls, many of which became collector's items. Early life and family
<mask> was born on New York City's Lower East Side to Hannah Pepper, an Austrian native who had emigrated to the United States via Russia. Bertha's father either died in a pogrom in Russia from which her mother escaped, or he emigrated with Hannah and died in New York when Bertha was about one and a half years old. In New York, Hannah aka Channy aka Anna  remarried, to Morris / <mask>, a Russian–Jewish immigrant whom Bertha considered her real father, and had three more daughters Jennie aka Jean, Florence aka Flora and Rose aka Rosie.In the 1910 census, Morris is listed as a toydealer with a pushcart. It has been said that Morris operated the first "doll hospital" in the United States, repairing the porcelain dolls of wealthy clients. However, there were doll hospitals in the US prior to his arrival in the United States. Morris and his family first appear in 1905 in the NY State census

While there has not yet been found a list of graduates, it seems Bertha graduated from Washington Irving High School in 1913 Washington Irving High School. On June 28, 1914, in Manhattan, NY, Bertha married Philip Behrman

In 1915 in the NY State census, Bertha, Philip and baby Mildred were living with his family at 20 E 111th street.It says he is a hatter and she does housework.<mask> crafted her first doll during World War I. Due to the embargo on German-made products during wartime, porcelain dolls were no longer available and Maurice's doll hospital was on precarious footing. <mask> suggested creating a Red Cross Nurse cloth doll with hand-painted, three-dimensional facial features. She and her sisters sewed a variety of these dolls to sell in the doll hospital, priced at $1.98 apiece, thus rescuing the family's livelihood. She and her sisters continued producing cloth dolls after the war ended. In 1917,according to Philp's World War 1 Draft Card, they were living at 945 East 181st st. Bronx Park South. In 1923, with a $1,600 loan, she established the Alexander Doll Company in a one-room studio, employing her sisters and neighbors, a total of 16 people.In the mid-1920s, she entreated her husband to quit his job and become the company manager, threatening him with divorce if he refused. Later that decade, she acquired a $5,000 loan to move the business to a storefront. In 1930, they lived at 278 Bronx Park South, in The Bronx. Philip's occupation was listed as "doll manufacturer", Bertha's was listed as "none" and they had a maid named Elva Matzen. With a savvy eye for marketing and innovation, <mask> became a leader in the American dollmaking industry. In 1936, Fortune magazine listed the Alexander Doll Company as one of the top three doll

During the 1980s, Alexander Doll Company released more than one million dolls annually.In 1947 she began producing dolls from hard plastic, and in the 1960s turned to vinyl plastic, which rendered a more lifelike appearance. She introduced "eyes with lashes that closed and fingers with knuckles", and rooted hair that could be styled. She researched historical and cultural dress to fashion accurately-detailed dolls' clothing, and insisted on quality workmanship. Materials used to clothe the dolls were made of "silks, velvets, satins and other fine fabrics". <mask> was noted for creating doll collections based on notable people and characters in books, films, music, and art. In the 1930s, for example, she reissued her Alice in Wonderland cloth doll and those of the four March sisters from Little Women to coincide with the film releases of these classics. In 1935 she procured a license from the Canadian government to craft dolls based on the Dionne quintuplets, which were big sellers and helped the business expand.She also obtained the trademarks to produce dolls replicating such famous figures as Margaret O'Brien, Jacqueline Kennedy, Coco Chanel, and Marlo Thomas. For the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, <mask> produced a collection of 36 dolls with authentic coronation outfits replicating the royal family and guests. Then valued at $25,000, this collection was donated to the Brooklyn Children's Museum. In the 1960s she debuted a collection of international dolls garbed in the native costumes of every member nation of the United Nations. In 1955 she unveiled the first

Coupled with <mask>'s win at the PBA Players Championship earlier in the year, 2015 marked the first time he won multiple titles in a season since 2001–02. His win was a breakthrough as he had finished runner-up at the Players Championship in 1993, 1996, 1998, and 1999. <mask> was retroactively awarded a major title for his 2015 PBA Players Championship victory. After the tournament returned to major status in the 2016 season, the PBA voted to award additional major titles to the winners of the three previous Players Championship events (2011, 2013, 2015), stating the tournament "is a members-only event, and includes all of the elements of a major."This gave <mask> three majors among his 35 PBA Tour titles. <mask> is a four-time winner of the PBA's Steve Nagy Sportsmanship award.

<mask> was born on 15 November 1912 in West Stayton, Oregon and graduated from Madras High School in Madras, Oregon in 1931. On Sunday 7 December 1941, while peeling potatoes, <mask> heard news of the attack on Pearl Harbor over the radio. He became enraged, shouting: "Japan is going to have to pay for this!" He also was an atheist. Doolittle Raid
Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Corporal <mask>, along with other members of the 17th Bomb Group, volunteered to join a special unit that was formed to attack Japan. The 24 crews selected from the 17th BG received intensive training at Eglin Field, Florida, for three weeks beginning on Sunday 1 March 1942.The crews undertook practice carrier deck takeoffs along with extensive flying exercises involving low-level and night flying, low altitude bombing and over water navigation. Their mission would be to fly modified B-25 Mitchell bombers launched from an aircraft carrier to attack Japan. The unit formed to carry out the raid on Japan soon acquired the name, "Doolittle's Raiders", after their famous commander, Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle. Staff Sergeant <mask> was the bombardier of B-25 #16, the "Bat (Out of Hell)", commanded by Lieutenant William G. Farrow, the last of the 16 B-25s to launch from the USS Hornet.

After bombing Nagoya, Japan, the "Bat" attempted to reach safe haven in China. <mask> and the rest of the B-25 crew were forced to parachute into enemy territory over Ningpo, China when their B-25 ran out of fuel because of the extra distance it was forced to fly by early launch of the raid.<mask> was injured in his fall into a cemetery and along with the rest of his crew, he was captured the very next day by the Japanese. During his captivity, <mask> was sent to Tokyo with the survivors of another Doolittle crew including Robert Hite, and was held in a series of P.O.W. (prisoner-of-war) camps both in Japan and China for 40 months – 34 of them in solitary confinement. He was severely beaten and malnourished while three of the crew were executed by a firing squad, and another died of slow starvation. <mask>'s sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by Emperor Hirohito. As the war came to an end, on 20 August 1945, <mask> and the others in the camp at Beijing (Peiping), China were finally released when American soldiers parachuted into the camp. On his return to the United States, Staff Sgt.<mask> was awarded both the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart for his part in the Doolittle Raid. Missionary in Japan

 his guards to loan him a copy of the Bible. Although he only had possession of the Bible for three weeks, he saw its messages as the reason for his survival and resolved to become a devout Christian. His conversion included learning a few words of Japanese and treating his captors with respect, which resulted in the guards reacting in a similar fashion. After his release, <mask> entered Seattle Pacific College, a Christian college associated with the Free Methodist denomination, and then Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky, where he began studies to become a missionary, eventually to return to Japan with his wife, Florence, in 1948. <mask>, the Doolittle Raider who bombed Nagoya, met Captain Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, becoming close friends. (For That One Day: The Memoirs of Mitsuo Fuchida, Commander of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, translated by Douglas T. Shinsato and Tadanori Urabe.)Fuchida became a Christian in 1950 after reading a tract written about DeShazer titled, I Was a Prisoner of Japan, and spent the rest of his life as a missionary in Asia and the United States. On occasion, <mask> and Fuchida preached together as Christian missionaries in Japan. In 1959, <mask> moved to Nagoya to establish a Christian church in the city he had bombed. Legacy

On 15 April 2008, the Oregon War Veterans Association (OWVA) nominated <mask> for the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal noting his extraordinary impact on America as a war hero and for his heroic service to the people of Japan, where he is well known as a hero of peace and reconciliation. On 21 April 2008, the White House confirmed the nomination in a letter to OWVA's executive director, Greg Warnock.President George W. Bush's Deputy Director for Awards said that the DeShazer nomination for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's most prestigious civilian award, second only to the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor would be given "every consideration" by the advisory staff, who will provide the President with the recommendation. The medals are usually awarded on or near 4 July annually. About 400 Presidential Medals of Freedom have been awarded since its inception in 1945. Warnock nominated Rev. <mask> for the Congressional Gold Medal through Congresswoman Darlene Hooley's (D-Ore.) office in Salem, Oregon. In the official nomination letters Warnock wrote, "At this time in our history, we feel it is ideal to honor a man who was a genuine war hero, [but] who after his sacrificial service put on gloves of peace, and touched the entire world with grace

<mask> (189321 September 1985) was an English writer, historian, archaeologist and folklorist from Lincolnshire. She pioneered the collection of folk material, particularly from Lincolnshire, and her collections are now part of several public institutions, including the North Lincolnshire Museum. Biography
<mask> was born in 1893 in Willoughton, Lincolnshire. Her parents were Richard and <mask>; her mother's family were originally from Suffolk. As a young woman she was employed both as a governess and a groom by the same family. In 1917 she married <mask> from Folkingham, and according to her obituary in Folklore had "a blissful but tragically brief marriage until his early death in 1918". George had served as a commissioned officer in the Machine Gun Corps during the First World War and died in the influenza epidemic.He was also awarded the Military Cross. The North Lincolnshire Museum holds a handbag containing her wedding flowers and letters from him. After George's death she returned to Willoughton to live and care for her parents. In later life, Lucy Arliss moved in with <mask>, assisted her on archaeological digs and they lived together for the rest of Arliss' life. In 1972 she and Arliss moved to a cottage in Toynton All Saints, near Spilsby. Arliss died a few years later. Throughout her life, friends knew <mask> by the nickname 'Peter'.Career
<mask> was interested in the traditions and folklore of Lincolnshire and began to collect stories and objects that reflected those interests, against the wishes of her parents. It was during this time in the 1920s and 1930s that much of her collecting took place. In 1927 she assisted C. W. Phillips

In 1936, <mask> published her book Lincolnshire Folklore, with an introduction by Murray. In the same year, her seminal essay Black Dogs was published in the journal of the Folklore Society. Other articles included calendar customs, witches and stone-lore.During the 1930s she was also active in the Lincolnshire Local History Society, who were hoping to establish a county museum. In 1931–32 she excavated a medieval building close to Willoughton. Folk music was an additional interest of <mask>'s and she collaborated with Robert Pacey on A Lincolnshire Songbook. In later life she recorded traditional songs she had learnt as a child. In addition, she also collected Plough Plays, building an archive which became one of the finest in England. As well as the plays themselves, <mask> spoke to the performers and made her own notes based on those discussions. In 1952 she published a copy of The Later Bassingham Plough Play, which she worked on from a manuscript held in the North Lincolnshire Museum.By the 1970s, <mask> was increasingly interested in the south Lincolnshire fens. By the time of their move to Toynton All Saints, <mask> had such a large collection of objects that she had to rent a windmill to store them. She also began excavating at Eresby manor during this time, as well as the brickworks at East Keal. She also made a study of pottery and pottery kilns from Toynton All Saints and Bolingbroke.

Reception
Initially <mask>'s book Lincolnshire Folklore was not popular, but over time it came to be appreciated; when it was re-published in 1976 by E P Publishing, it sold out immediately. In 1984 A Prospect of Lincolnshire was published. This Festschrift, which honoured <mask>'s interests and scholarship, was edited by Naomi Field and Andrew White. In 1938, <mask> published what became a seminal paper on the mythology of the Black Dog in Lincolnshire and is one of the most complete for any region of England, including songs, sightings and folktales.

 Brown was referring to <mask>'s "famous article" in her own research. One interesting aspect for folklorists today is that <mask> did not just record malevolent appearances of the dog, but also times when people reported that the dog was protecting them from other apparitions.<mask> claimed that the phenomenon was viewed in a more positive light in Lincolnshire than in other counties. She also recorded instances of 'black dogs' named and known by local communities. In fact, she was the first researcher to empirically categorise 'black dog' sightings. The academic study of the Harry Potter series has also drawn on <mask>'s work on the Black Dog motif. <mask>'s research is referred to in a wide variety of research papers, including: on the Green Man; landscape history as cultural practice; and portents of death. Legacy
<mask>'s papers and archives are held by Lincolnshire Archives, and include her archaeological notebooks, notes on her collections, photographs, diaries and correspondence. Holdings at North Lincolnshire Museum consist of archaeological and historical objects she collected, these include: a Neolithic jade axe from Wroot; witch balls; and a hobby-horse from a plough jag team.They also include fifty-five plough pebbles from the Scunthorpe area. A gad whip owned by <mask> is in the Caistor Heritage Trust collection. Many of the large objects collected by <mask> are at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, which began to be acquired in 1966 by curator Brian Loughborough. References

<mask> was born in Hertfordshire, England and, with his father Richard, mother Millicent (née Stone) and a younger sibling, migrated to Australia in April 1959 via RMS Orion out of the Port of Tilbury. They settled under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme, initially, in St Albans a western suburb of Melbourne.He later recalled, "I remember going to [a] sideshow in St Albans as a kid and seeing a dancing chicken. But I didn't know they were on hot plates at the time. I thought wow – dancing chickens, why are their feet smoking?" He left secondary school in 1963 and worked as a messenger boy. From 1965, he was a sales clerk for Allans retail music store for three years. In the mid-1960s, he moved to Craigieburn. Starting music career
According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, "blessed with a masterful blues voice, <mask> has retained an interest in roots music right throughout his career."<mask>'s early influences were, "Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Charlie Musselwhite." In 1962 or 1963 <mask> was a member of

 the Maltese Band on percussion. Other blues groups he joined included the Smokey Hollows in 1965. He joined Adderley Smith Blues Band (1966–68) on vocals and harmonica, alongside Kerryn Tolhurst on guitar and mandolin. <mask> had to leave the group when he was conscripted into the army as part of his National Service during the Vietnam War. From 1968 to 1970, he was stationed at Holsworthy Barracks in New South Wales. Upon his discharge, <mask> briefly joined a country music group, Sundown, with Tolhurst, but left in 1971.1971–73: Carson

Carson formed in January 1970 and was a blues-boogie band influenced by US group Canned Heat. During 1971, <mask> replaced founder John Capek, providing vocals and harmonica. Other members included Greg Lawrie (guitar, slide guitar), Ian Ferguson (bass, vocals), Tony Lunt (drums) and Ian Winter (guitar). After they released a single "Travelling South" / "Moonshine" in August 1971, Ferguson left to be replaced successively by Barry Sullivan and Garry Clarke. Mal Logan (keyboards) joined later that year. Carson performed at the first Sunbury Rock Festival in January 1972. The following Easter, they played a legendary set at the Mulwala Pop Festival, alongside Canned Heat.<mask> spent part of 1972 recording two solo singles: "Goin' on Down to the End of the World", released in May 1972, and "Yesterday it Rained", released in February 1973 on the Image label. He also kept up with Carson to record "Boogie, Part 1" / "Boogie, Part 2", which reached No. 30 on the National charts in September 1972. That was followed by their debut album, Blown, on Harvest Records, produced by Rod Coe, which reached No. 14 in December. Australian psychedelic and progressive rock band Tamam Shud were recording tracks for Albie Falzon's

 1972 surf film Morning of the Earth, including their song "First Things First". Their main lead singer, Lindsay Bjerre, was having voice problems so they recorded the song using lead guitarist Tim Gaze.Producer G. Wayne Thomas was unhappy with Gaze's vocals and asked <mask> to fill in. According to Bjerre, Tamam Shud only found out about the switch at the film's premiere, but according to <mask>, his contribution was made with Tamam Shud's knowledge and permission. Carson performed at the 1973 Sunbury Rock Festival, on the Australia Day long weekend. Band members Winter and Ferguson left soon after and, by February, Carson had disbanded. A live recording of their Sunbury set, On the Air was released in April 1973. 1973–78: Tommy to the Dingoes

The Who's rock opera Tommy was performed in Australia in 1973, in an orchestral version, with <mask> in the role of The Father (Mr Walker). Other Australian artists involved were Daryl Braithwaite (as Tommy), Billy Thorpe, Doug Parkinson, Wendy Saddington, Jim Keays, Colleen Hewett, Linda George, Ross Wilson, Bobby Bright, and Ian Meldrum (as "Uncle Ernie" in Sydney).The Dingoes were formed in Melbourne in April 1973 by <mask>'s old band mate, Kerryn Tolhurst.

title: Wilhelm Röntgen

texts:
<mask> (; ; 27 March 184510 February 1923) was a German mechanical engineer and physicist, who, on 8 November 1895, produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range known as X-rays or Röntgen rays, an achievement that earned him the inaugural Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. In honour of Röntgen's accomplishments, in 2004 the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) named element 111, roentgenium, a radioactive element with multiple unstable isotopes, after him. The unit of measurement roentgen was also named after him. Biographical history

Education
He was born to Friedrich Conrad Röntgen, a German merchant and cloth manufacturer, and Charlotte Constanze Frowein. At age three his family moved to Holland where his family lived. Röntgen attended high school at Utrecht Technical School in Utrecht, Netherlands. He followed courses at the Technical School for almost two years.In 1865, he was unfairly expelled from high school when one of his teachers intercepted a caricature of one of the teachers, which was drawn by someone else. Without a high school diploma, <mask> could only attend university in the Netherlands as a visitor. In 1865, he tried to attend Utrecht University without having the necessary credentials required for a regular student. Upon hearing that he could enter the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich (today known as the ETH Zurich), he passed the entrance examination and began studies there as a student of mechanical engineering. In 1869, he graduated with a PhD from the University of Zurich; once there, he became a favorite student of Professor August Kundt, whom he followed to the newly founded German Kaiser-Wilhelms-Universität in Strasbourg. Career

In 1874, <mask> became a lecturer at the University of Strasbourg. In 1875, he became a professor at the Academy of Agriculture at Hohenheim,

texts: Württemberg.He returned to Strasbourg as a professor of physics in 1876, and in 1879, he was appointed to the chair of physics at the University of Giessen. In 1888, he obtained the physics chair at the University of Würzburg, and in 1900 at the University of Munich, by special request of the Bavarian government. <mask> had family in Iowa in the United States and planned to emigrate. He accepted an appointment at Columbia University in New York City and bought transatlantic tickets, before the outbreak of World War I changed his plans. He remained in Munich for the rest of his career. During 1895, at his laboratory in the Würzburg Physical Institute of the University of Würzburg, <mask> was investigating the external effects from the various types of vacuum tube equipment—apparatuses from Heinrich Hertz, Johann Hittorf, William Crookes, Nikola Tesla and Philipp von Lenard—when an electrical discharge is passed through them. In early November, he was repeating an experiment with one of Lenard's tubes in which a thin aluminium window had been added to permit the cathode rays to exit the tube but a cardboard covering was added to protect the aluminium from damage by the strong electrostatic field that produces the cathode rays.<mask> knew that the cardboard covering prevented light from escaping, yet he observed that the invisible cathode rays caused a fluorescent effect on a small cardboard screen painted with barium platinocyanide when it was placed close to the aluminium window. It occurred to <mask> that the Crookes–Hittorf tube, which had a much thicker glass wall than the Lenard tube, might also cause this fluorescent effect. In the late afternoon of 8 November 1895, Röntgen was determined to test his idea. He carefully constructed a black cardboard covering similar to the one he had used on the Lenard tube. He covered the Crookes–Hittorf tube

texts: with the cardboard and attached electrodes to a Ruhmkorff coil to generate an electrostatic charge. Before setting up the barium platinocyanide screen to test his idea, Röntgen darkened the room to test the opacity of his cardboard cover. As he passed the Ruhmkorff coil charge through the tube, he determined that the cover was light-tight and turned to prepare the next step of the experiment.It was at this point that <mask> noticed a faint shimmering from a bench a few feet away from the tube. To be sure, he tried several more discharges and saw the same shimmering each time. Striking a match, he discovered the shimmering had come from the location of the barium platinocyanide screen he had been intending to use next. <mask> speculated that a new kind of ray might be responsible. 8 November was a Friday, so he took advantage of the weekend to repeat his experiments and made his first notes. In the following weeks, he ate and slept in his laboratory as he investigated many properties of the new rays he temporarily termed "X-rays", using the mathematical designation ("X") for something unknown. The new rays came to bear his name in many languages as "Röntgen rays" (and the associated X-ray radiograms as "Röntgenograms").At one point while he was investigating the ability of various materials to stop the rays, <mask> brought a small piece of lead into position while a discharge was occurring. <mask> thus saw the first radiographic image: his own flickering ghostly skeleton on the barium platinocyanide screen. He later reported that it was at this point that he decided to continue his experiments in secrecy, fearing for his professional reputation if his observations were in error. About six weeks after his discovery, he took a picture—a radiograph—using X-rays of his wife Anna Bertha's hand. When she saw her skeleton she exclaimed "I have seen my

 death!" He later took a better picture of his friend Albert von Kölliker's hand at a public lecture. <mask>'s original paper, "On A New Kind of Rays" (Ueber eine neue Art von Strahlen), was published on 28 December 1895.On 5 January 1896, an Austrian newspaper reported <mask>'s discovery of a new type of radiation. <mask> was awarded an honorary Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Würzburg after his discovery. He also received the Rumford Medal of the British Royal Society in 1896, jointly with Philipp Lenard, who had already shown that a portion of the cathode rays could pass through a thin film of a metal such as aluminum. <mask> published a total of three papers on X-rays between 1895 and 1897. Today, <mask> is considered the father of diagnostic radiology, the medical speciality which uses imaging to diagnose disease. A collection of his papers is held at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland. Personal life

<mask> was married to Anna Bertha Ludwig for 47 years until her death in 1919 at age 80.In 1866 they met in Zürich at Anna's father's café, Zum Grünen Glas. They got engaged in 1869 and wed in Apeldoorn, Netherlands on 7 July 1872; the delay was due to Anna being six years <mask>'s senior and his father not approving of her age or humble background. Their marriage began with financial difficulties as family support from Röntgen had ceased. They raised one child, Josephine Bertha Ludwig, whom they adopted at age 6 after her father, Anna's only brother, died in 1887. He inherited two million Reichsmarks after his father's death. For ethical reasons, <mask> did not seek patents for his discoveries, holding the view that it should be publicly available without charge. After receiving his Nobel prize money, Röntgen donated the 50,000 Swedish krona to research at the University of Würzburg.Although he accepted the

With the inflation following World War I, <mask> fell into bankruptcy, spending his final years at his country home at Weilheim, near Munich. <mask> died on 10 February 1923 from carcinoma of the intestine, also known as colorectal cancer. In keeping with his will, all his personal and scientific correspondence were destroyed upon his death. Honours and awards

In 1901, <mask> was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics. The award was officially "in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him". <mask> donated the 50,000 Swedish krona reward from his Nobel Prize to research at his university, the University of Würzburg.Like Marie and Pierre Curie, <mask> refused to take out patents related to his discovery of X-rays, as he wanted society as a whole to benefit from practical applications of the phenomenon. <mask> was also awarded Barnard Medal for Meritorious Service to Science in 1900. His honors include:
 Rumford Medal (1896)
 Matteucci Medal (1896)
 Elliott Cresson Medal (1897)
 Nobel Prize for Physics (1901)
 In November 2004 IUPAC named element number 111 roentgenium (Rg) in his honour. IUPAP adopted the name in November 2011. In 1907 he became a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Legacy
Today, in Remscheid-Lennep, 40 kilometres east of Röntgen's birthplace in Düsseldorf, is the Deutsches Röntgen-Museum. In Würzburg, where he discovered X-rays, a non-profit organization maintains his laboratory and provides guided tours to the Röntgen Memorial Site.World Radiography Day:
