 American Civil War

Marmaduke was on duty in the New Mexico Territory in the spring of 1861 when he received news that Missouri had seceded from the Union.He returned home to meet with his father, a strong Unionist. Afterwards, <mask> decided to resign from the United States Army, effective April 1861. Pro-secession Missouri Governor Claiborne F. Jackson, <mask>'s uncle, soon appointed him as the colonel of the 1st Regiment of Rifles, a unit from Saline County, Missouri, in the Missouri State Guard. Governor Jackson departed Jefferson City, Missouri in June, along with State Guard commander Major-General <mask>, to recruit more troops. Marmaduke and his regiment met them at Boonville, Missouri. Within a short time, Price and Jackson left, leaving <mask> in charge of a small force of militia. Marmaduke realized his troops were not adequately prepared for combat, but Governor Jackson ordered him to make a stand against Union forces who had entered the state.Federal Brigadier-General Nathaniel Lyon's 1,700 well-trained and equipped soldiers easily routed <mask>'s untrained and poorly armed force at the Battle of Boonville on June 17, 1861. The skirmish was mockingly dubbed "the Boonville Races" by Unionists, since Marmaduke's recruits broke and ran after 20 minutes of battle. Disgusted by the situation, <mask> resigned his commission in the Missouri State Guard and traveled to Richmond, Virginia, where he was commissioned a first lieutenant in the regular Confederate States Army. The Confederate War Department ordered him to report for duty in Arkansas, where he soon was elected

Marmaduke's former Mormon War commander, <mask> <mask>, asked him to join his staff in early 1862. <mask> was wounded in action at the Battle of Shiloh as colonel of the 3rd Confederate Regiment, incapacitating him for several months.In November 1862, the War Department confirmed <mask>'s promotion to brigadier-general. His first battle as a brigade commander was at the Battle of Prairie Grove. In April 1863, <mask> departed Arkansas with 5,000 men and ten artillery pieces and entered Union-held Missouri. However, he was repulsed at the Battle of Cape Girardeau and forced to return to Helena, Arkansas. Controversy soon followed. In September 1863, he accused his immediate superior officer, Brigadier-General Lucius M. Walker, of cowardice in action for not being present with his men on the battlefield. Walker, slighted by the insult, challenged <mask> to a duel, which resulted in Walker's death on September 6, 1863.<mask> later commanded a cavalry division in the Trans-Mississippi Department, serving in the Red River Campaign. While commanding a mixed force of Confederate troops, including Native-American soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Choctaw Regiments, <mask> defeated a Union foraging detachment at the Battle of Poison Spring, Arkansas on April 18, 1864. He was hailed in the Confederate press for what was publicized as a significant southern victory. <mask> commanded a division in Major-General <mask>'s

While still a prisoner of war at Johnson's Island in Ohio, <mask> was promoted to major-general in March 1865. He was released after the war ended. His younger brother, Henry Hungerford <mask>, served in the Confederate States Navy, was captured and was imprisoned on Johnson's Island.He later served the federal government in negotiations with South American nations. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Two other <mask> brothers died in the American Civil War. Later life and death
<mask> returned home to Missouri and settled in Carondelet, St. Louis. He worked briefly for an insurance company, whose ethics he found contrary to his own. He then edited an agricultural journal, and publicly accused the railroads of discriminatory pricing against local farmers. The governor soon appointed Marmaduke to the state's first Rail Commission.<mask> decided to enter politics, but lost the 1880 Democratic nomination for governor to former Union general Thomas T. Crittenden, who had strong support and financial backing from the railroads. Undeterred, <mask> ran again for governor four years later, at a time when public opinion had changed, and railroad reform and regulation became more in vogue. <mask> conducted a campaign which highlighted his Confederate service, emphasized abuses of Missourians by Union troops during the Civil War, celebrated the activities of pro-Confederate "partisan guerrillas" such as William Clarke Quantrill

 and claimed that the Republican Party in Missouri was a tool of "carpetbaggers" to oppress "native" Missourians. He was elected on a platform officially focused on cooperation between former Unionists and Confederates, promising an agenda which would produce a "New Missouri." He settled potentially crippling railroad strikes in 1885 and 1886. The following year, Marmaduke pushed laws through the state legislature that finally began regulating the state's railway industry. He also dramatically boosted the state's funding of public schools, with nearly a third of the annual budget allocated to education.<mask>, Arkansas, is named after him. See also

<mask> was born in Thurrock, Essex, before moving north, where he attended Ralph Butterfield Primary School, Haxby, and then Joseph Rowntree School in York. He played for the City Schools team as a boy before joining Leeds United. After completing his secondary education at school, he signed scholar forms with the West Yorkshire club in 2010.

He later progressed to his age group in the under-18s where he would become a regular in the team during his second year in 2011–12. As an integral part of the team, he scored several goals over the course of the season as the under-18s finished as runners-up to Newcastle United in their divisional academy league.Following the end of the season in May 2012, he was one of five young players rewarded with their first professional contracts for their performances in the campaign. Leeds United

2012–13 season

In the first friendly match of Leeds United's 2012–13 pre-season against Farsley Celtic, <mask> was one of a number of youngsters given an opportunity to impress manager Neil Warnock when he lined up for the second half at Throstle Nest. United recorded a convincing 5–2 victory over their city rivals. Nevertheless, he would travel with the first-team on their pre season tour of the South West of England the following week, featuring in the games against Tavistock, Bodmin Town and Torquay United. Byram remained as part of the first-team in pre-season after returning to the North; playing for an hour and scoring in the game away to Preston North End.

He signed a new three-year contract with the West Yorkshire club two days after his league debut and only three months after signing his first professional contract with the club. <mask> scored his first professional goal on 28 August in the 3–0 League Cup second-round victory over Oxford United. Picking up the ball just outside the penalty area, he beat two Oxford defenders with his first and second touches before chipping the goalkeeper from inside the box in the 34th minute to give his team a 2–0 lead. An impressed Neil Warnock told reporters after the game that "<mask> will probably never score another goal like that in his career". <mask> remained a permanent feature in the first-team squad during the early months of the season with United legend Eddie Gray tipping him to win a call-up to England Under-21 squad in the near future if he maintained his form. His former manager in the under-18s, Neil Redfearn, stated that <mask>'s rise through the ranks at the club served as a good example for other promising youngsters including his former teammates in the academy side, Ross Killock, Dominic Poleon and Simon Lenighan.On 2 October, he scored his first league goal for Leeds in a 2–2 draw away to Bolton Wanderers, heading in a cross from El Hadji Diouf. An away match at Leicester City on 5 March saw young <mask> score his third goal for Leeds in a 1–1 draw.

title: Jean-François Portaels

texts:
Jean-<mask> or <mask> (3 April 1818 – 8 February 1895) was a Belgian painter of genre scenes, biblical stories, landscapes, portraits and orientalist subjects. He was also a teacher and director of the Academy of Fine Arts of Ghent and the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He is regarded as the founder of the Belgian Orientalist school. He was praised in his time as the premier painter of 'everyday elegance and feminine grace'. Through his art, teaching and his leadership of the Académie Royale in Brussels he exerted an important influence on the next generation of Belgian artists, including his pupil Théo van Rysselberghe. Life
Portaels was born in Vilvoorde, the son of a rich brewer who also was mayor of Vilvoorde. As he spent much of his time as a youngster drawing the scenes of his native town, his father sent him in 1836 to study at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.At the time the director was the painter François-Joseph Navez who had been a pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Portaels studied at the Academie under Navez with other brilliant students such as Charles de Groux and Joseph Stallaert. Navez also invited him to study in Navez' own studio, which enjoyed a great reputation at the time. Around 1841 Portaels went to Paris to continue his studies. He enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In his spare time, he studied the old masters in the Louvre and visited the Paris salons to seek inspiration from the new artistic trends in France. Orientalism was at the time coming into vogue.The exhibitions, galleries and salons of

texts: Paris showcased the recently acquired taste for the Orient. Portaels' artistic course was given a determining direction by this development. In Paris he also became a pupil of Paul Delaroche, a prominent French painter of historical scenes. Upon his return to Belgium, he won in 1842 the Grand Prix de Rome, i.e. the first prize in the Belgian Prix de Rome. The financial reward connected to the prize allowed him to travel to Italy where he stayed in Venice, Florence and Rome. He continued to feel the pull of the Orient and travelled successively to Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, Judea, Spain, Hungary and Norway.In Hungary he spent quite some time to study the typical traits of the Magyars and Romani people. During his travels he was able to paint portraits of some prominent personalities such as the viceroy of Egypt. On his return to Belgium in 1847 <mask> was appointed Director of the Academy in Ghent to succeed Henri van der Haert who had died. He remained in this position for three years. In 1849 he married Marie Hélène Navez, the daughter of his first teacher, Navez. The couple settled in Brussels in 1850. A son born in 1850 died soon after his birth.In 1851 he received the Grand Cordon in the Order of Leopold. When Navez resigned from the Brussels Academy, <mask> was asked to replace him. He declined, however, because he deemed the conditions offered to him not to be acceptable and he preferred to maintain his independence. Eugène Simonis was appointed director in his stead. Portaels was admitted as a member of the Royal Academy of Science,

texts: its charm and elegant grace, which are at the basis of their success. Portaels remained removed from the conventions of his time in the way he treated his subjects, as exemplified in his classic vision of the exotic theme of the Oriental woman. He returned numerous times to the aesthetic type of the 'Oriental woman' which he depicted with typically arched eyebrows and languid, almond-shaped eyes.These works are executed in a rather stiff manner. Only in his rare portraits of children did he attain more spontaneity such as in the Portrait of a young Arabic girl (At Jean Moust Gallery). <mask> is seen as the principal painter who led the fashion for Orientalism in Belgium. From the mid 1850s the Belgian government began to promote monumental art in Belgium. It provided financial assistance to artists on various projects. The promotion of monumental art dealing with episodes from the Belgian national history was regarded by the government of the young Belgian state as an important means of creating a national identity. The Belgian prime minister Charles Rogier was in particular in support of this movement.Portaels and Jean Baptiste van Eycken, also a pupil of François-Joseph Navez, helped launch the monumentalism movement in Belgium. They did this by introducing into Belgium new fresco techniques such as water glass painting, which they had studied abroad. Water glass painting is a technique of mural painting, intended to resist the effects of damp and pollution, that was invented and popular in the 19th century. It is a form of fresco painting.

<mask>. (December 23, 1928 – December 12, 1952) was an American spree killer and mass murderer who murdered six people, including a family of five, on a 22-day rampage between Missouri and California in 1950–51. Early life
<mask>. was born in Joplin, Missouri, in 1928, and had ten siblings. When he was five years old, his mother <mask> (née Hinkle) died unexpectedly at the family home. He and his young sister Betty were the first to discover her body. A subsequent coroner's investigation headed by W. G. Hogan ruled cerebral hemorrhage as the cause of death, and noted that she had "apparently been in good health an hour before her body was found." Her obituary does not mention <mask>.—her husband at the time—and <mask>.'s father; no reason is given for this omission. Soon after, <mask>. relocated the children to an abandoned mine, eventually leaving them to fend for themselves with a few supplies.They were discovered there by the authorities and all the children were placed into foster care except <mask>. A deformed eye and belligerent attitude stopped him being adopted by any family so he became a ward of the state. <mask> was eventually placed in the care of a woman who accepted state money to look after him, but they had a poor relationship. He soon drifted into petty crime and was eventually arrested for truancy. At the age of 12, he told a judge he would prefer a reformatory to more foster care. <mask> spent several years in detention before he was transferred, aged 17, to the Missouri State Penitentiary. While in prison, he assaulted another

The guilty plea was permitted by the judge due to disputes over <mask>'s mental health. One psychiatrist thought he was sane and clever, while another thought he was insane. <mask> was sentenced to 300 years in prison, 60 years for each count, to be served at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.U.S. District Judge Stephen S. Chandler said "I do not think it can be justifiably said that the defendant had sufficient mental capacity to commit a crime warranting the death penalty by a jury or this court." Outraged that <mask>'s life had been spared, U.S. Attorney Robert E. Shelton jumped from his chair and shouted "If there was ever a death penalty case in the history of the nation this is a death penalty case. This boy’s childhood is no justification for wiping out six people, an entire family, in coldblooded murder. I want the public and the court to know that I demand the death penalty in this case. If the court heard all the facts in this case, I think the court might reach a different opinion." Chandler said he knew all of the facts and that he didn't believe the case warranted execution. He mentioned <mask>'s upbringing, saying "Society stands indicted for permitting this child to grow up among cruel and inhuman conditions and must accept part of the blame.This crime might never have been committed had this boy been given a civilized upbringing and education."

I want the public to know I demand the death penalty." It was soon learned that <mask>'s sentence carried the chance of parole after 20 years. The public demanded that he stand trial for murder he committed in California.In 1951, a California jury found <mask> guilty of first degree murder for killing Robert Dewey. They did not make a recommendation for mercy, making a death sentence mandatory. On December 12, 1952, <mask> was executed in the gas chamber at San Quentin Prison.

title: Albert Carman

texts:
<mask> (27 June 1833 – 3 November 1917) was a Canadian Methodist minister and teacher who became head of the Methodist Church in Canada. Early years

<mask> was born on 27 June 1833 at Iroquois, Ontario, Canada, son of <mask> and Emeline Shaver. His family on both sides were loyalists who settled in Matilda Township in 1784 on crown land grants after the American Revolutionary War. His father and mother were both grandchildren of soldiers of the King's Royal Regiment of New York. His father was a self-educated farmer and tanner. Carman  attended the Matilda Common School and the Dundas County Grammar School. He was admitted to Victoria College, Cobourg in 1851.This was a Wesleyan institution. Carman was converted in the winter of 1854, and was encouraged by his father to join the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada. Carman joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1857 as a probationer. College principal

<mask> graduated from Victoria College in 1855, and was headmaster of Dundas County Grammar School from 1854–57. In 1857 he became professor of mathematics at the Belleville Seminary, and in 1858 he became principal of the institution. The Belleville Seminary took an evangelical and conservative position to religion. It gave a three-year course in classics, philosophy, mathematics and science tor young Methodist Episcopals, both men and women.The school was controversial to many members of the denomination, who were suspicious of learning. It struggled from lack of funding. There were only fifty students by the spring of 1861. Some were supporting themselves by doing jobs such as sawing wood, and others were paying their fees in commodities rather than cash. Carman's father sent food to the school to help out. Carman made the Belleville Seminary succeed through advocacy within the church and through his ability as a teacher and administrator. He was ordained a Deacon in 1859.Carman completed a master's degree in 1860. He married Mary Jane Sisk of Belleville on 19 July 1860 and they had three sons and one daughter. The seminary was affiliated with the University of

 Toronto in 1861. Carman became a full minister in 1864, although he had never preached on a circuit. In 1866 the Seminary became Albert College, able to grant arts degrees to male students. Women could attend undergraduate classes and obtain a diploma. By 1868 there were 190 men and 73 women at Albert College.Almost a hundred students were resident. In 1870 Carman established a faculty of divinity, and organized faculties of arts, engineering, law and music. <mask> was president of Albert College until 1875. <mask> also became a member of the Senate of Victoria College, a foundation of the Wesleyan Methodists. Towards the end of his tenure at Albert College, in 1874 <mask> was elected to the Council of Public Instruction. Other members included Samuel Sobieski Nelles, Egerton Ryerson and the Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph Lynch. Bishop
Between 1868 and 1874 <mask> was involved in the negotiations for unity with the other Methodist churches in Canada.Talks broke down due to the Methodist Episcopal insistence on an episcopate and refusal to accept laymen in its governing bodies. Carman was elected colleague of Bishop James Richardson and ordained bishop at Napanee on 4 September 1874. He was aged 42. He was succeeded at the Albert College by Jabez R. Jacques from the American Episcopal Methodist Church. After Richardson died in March 1875 <mask> was sole head of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Church members at this time were mostly rural, committed to an episcopal structure, believers in the separation of church and state and opposed to the Methodist Church of Canada. Carman tried to improve church organization and expand into urban areas and the prairies, but was not successful.In 1878 the Methodist Episcopal Church approved lay representation, one of the main differences with the Methodist Church of Canada, and in 1882 the Methodist Church of Canada accepted the concept of being led by a strong general superintendency. Carman managed to negotiate a Basis of Union, accepted by both churches in December 1882, where two elected general superintendents would head the

 combined church. At a special session of the Methodist Episcopal General Conference in January 1883 <mask> argued that the general superintendency would be a scriptural episcopacy. He argued for union, saying "Our great principles of doctrine, government and action can be harmonized into one Church – if they cannot, either our principles are false and wrong, or God never intended us to come together." General Superintendent

In September 1883 a provisional General Conference of the uniting churches elected Carman and Samuel Dwight Rice of the Methodist Church of Canada as the general superintendents. With the union of the Methodist churches, Albert College amalgamated with Victoria College to create Victoria University in 1884. The Albert College campus again became a private secondary school.Rice died in December 1884 and his successor John Æthuruld Williams died in December 1889. After this Carman was sole general superintendent until 1910. The Methodist General Conference of 1890 proposed to hold ongoing informal discussions about union with Congregationalists and Presbyterians, and if possible with Anglicans and Baptists. The Protestants should recognize the validity of ministries of each denomination and work together in areas such a mission work. The 1901 census showing considerable growth in the Canadian population of Roman Catholics and much smaller growth in Methodists. Carman spoke at the 1902 General Conference in favor of serious consideration of union of the Protestant churches. Carman was authoritarian and unwilling to share power.As he grew older he became increasingly abrasive. In 1910 the General Conference elected Samuel Dwight Chown as a second general superintendent. Chown's election represented a victory of the wealthy laymen allied with liberal theologians. At the 1911 Ecumenical Methodist Conference in Toronto Carman intervened in a debate on "The Permanent Results of Biblical Criticism". The British Methodist Recorder said, "Very pathetic it was to see this veteran stand up to plead against conclusions which he deemed harmful, in the presence of

 an assembly which in the main accepted them." The editor said that with his extreme conservatism he was "unwillingly singing the swan song of his views." <mask> retired in 1914.He died on 3 November 1917. <mask>'s son was <mask> <mask> (1865–1939), who graduated from Albert College and became a journalist with the Toronto Globe and then the Montreal Star, where he became editor-in-chief. He wrote two novels that reflected his father's social radicalism. One was The Preparation of Ryerson Embury (1900). Beliefs

Carman supported women's education. In 1881 he was instrumental in the opening of the Alma College for women in St. Thomas. Carman was orthodox, and tried to maintain the traditional centrist position of the Methodist church.He was opposed both to ultra-conservatism and to liberal theology, both of which he considered to be divisive. He rejected the view that religion should focus on humanity rather than God, or that biblical teaching could be used selectively. He felt these attitudes were incompatible with the basic Methodist belief in the need for a continued and disciplined struggle against personal sin, and would tend to weaken Christian beliefs. Carman believed that the Bible was the literal word of God. However, he accepted the value of education and was open to free inquiry. Although Carman spoke out against evolutionism, Higher Criticism and other modernist views, he did not stand in the way of these developments. He was in favor of social reform to make Canada a truly Christian country, but was opposed to radicals who wanted to overthrow the established order.He distrusted the wealthy laity and looked to the middle classes to take the lead in creating a more "brotherly" society. During his tenure Carman improved the administration of the Methodist Church, promoted Sabbath observance and fought evils such as dancing, gambling and alcohol. However he did not prevent, and perhaps enabled, innovation in the church's theology and evangelical tradition to meet modern requirements. Publications

<mask> (1847 – 29 May 1933) was a Welsh solicitor who became the founder of the Football Association of Wales and organised the first Welsh international football match against Scotland in 1876. As such he became the "father of Welsh football". Early life and family
<mask> was born into the land-owning, industrialist Kenrick dynasty of Wynn Hall, Ruabon, Wales, the son of <mask> (1798–1865) who had founded the Wynn Hall Colliery, and a descendant of the Wynn family. After attending Ruabon Grammar School, <mask> trained as a solicitor (admitted 1871) and practised at Ruabon. Two of his cousins, Harriet and <mask>, were the first and second wives of the politician Joseph Chamberlain. In 1909 <mask> married Lillian Maud, daughter of the Rev. A. L. Taylor, headmaster of Ruabon Grammar School, although they had no children.Football career
His earliest football appearances were in England when he played for Priorslee at Shifnal, Shropshire. Druids Football Club
In 1872, he assisted brothers David and George Thomson in amalgamating the Ruabon-based, Plasmadoc club with two other Ruabon clubs, "Ruabon Rovers" and "Ruabon Volunteers", to form the Ruabon Druids. The newly created club played their home matches at Plasmadoc Park in the village of Rhosymedre, before a new ground was created in the nearby Wynn family estate at Wynnstay in 1879. At this time, there was no organised league system and Druids played friendly matches against other local clubs although they occasionally ventured further afield to play in England and Scotland, including a match against Queens Park at Hampden Park in 1877. Shropshire Wanderers
<mask> also played for the Shropshire Wanderers in the 1874–75 season in which he helped them reach the semi-final of the FA Cup, when they were defeated 1–0 by the Old Etonians. First international match
In January 1876, a London-based Welshman, G. Clay-Thomas, placed an

 advertisement in The Field newspaper proposing that a Welsh team be formed to play Scotland or Ireland at rugby. <mask> saw the advertisement but decided that the international match should be Association football.He told The Field that the footballers of North Wales accepted the challenge and he advertised for players:

To be selected, the players had to be born in Wales or have sufficient residence in the Principality. Although <mask> corresponded with several Welsh clubs and the Universities in order to raise a team he was criticised for allegedly overlooking players from the south. The test matches took place in February 1876 under the auspices of the newly created Football Association of Wales (see below). <mask> selected six players from his own club, Druids, plus two from local rivals, Wrexham, and one from English club, Oswestry. William Evans (of Oxford University) was the only player from South Wales selected, with the others all from North Wales, other than John Hawley Edwards who was born in Shrewsbury in England and had previously represented the England national football team. Edwards was a fellow solicitor and member of the Shropshire Wanderers. The match against Scotland was played at Hamilton Crescent, Partick, the home of the West of Scotland Cricket Club on 25 March 1876.The Welsh were well defeated, conceding four goals without reply. <mask> played at left back and acquitted himself well, with the match report commenting: "Evans and <mask>, the backs, played splendidly for Wales". Football Association of Wales

Provisionally known as the "Cambrian Football Association", the Football Association of Wales was founded at a meeting held on 2 February 1876 at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel in Wrexham, initially to formalise the arrangements for the forthcoming match against Scotland. In May 1876, a further meeting was called, this time in the ballroom of the identically

 named Wynnstay Arms Hotel in Ruabon where the name was agreed as the "Football Association of Wales" and the constitution was drawn up. The arguments and discussions continued so long that the local policeman came in to call time. Fortunately, Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn was in attendance; as the local JP (and also the sitting Member of Parliament), he went next door, opened the Court, extended the hotel's licensing hours, thus enabling the meeting to continue. The meeting ended with <mask> appointed as the first chairman and honorary secretary with John Hawley Edwards as first treasurer.<mask> continued to serve the FAW until 1884, when he left, probably because of the trend towards professionalism. In 1897, when the FAW secretary was charged with fraud, <mask> returned to guide the association through the crisis. He made the final break a few months later over the minor issue of the allocation of gate money to Welsh Cup semi-finalists and finalists. The Welsh Cup
In 1877, the FAW inaugurated the first Welsh domestic football competition, the Welsh Cup, which kicked off in the autumn. 19 clubs entered though only 17 actually fielded a team. The first match was played on Saturday 13 October at Newtown against the Druids and ended in a 1–1 draw. The game started at 2.30 in front of a large crowd with the high wind causing problems.Evans scored for Newtown in the first half, although Druids equalised through Daniel Grey to take the match to a replay. The match report says that "Ll. Kendrick (was) prominent for Druids." Druids won the replay 4–0 and progressed to the final against Wrexham. The match was a cliffhanger, with no score until the Wrexham forwards charged the Druids' defenders to take the ball over the line to win the game in the final minute, with James Davies being credited with the goal. Following the loss of their Plasmadoc ground in the autumn of 1878, Druids were

 temporarily disbanded. During this period, <mask> first played one game for Wrexham however decided not to join them and instead <mask> and several of his Druids team-mates joined the Oswestry club.In 1879, the Druids had gained the use of the ground at Wynnstay and <mask> returned to the Druids for one further season as captain, leading them to the Welsh Cup Final when they defeated Ruthin 2–1 (with goals from Jack Vaughan and John Jones). As captain of the Druids, <mask> collected the cup from Sir Evan Morris, who acclaimed him as the founder of Welsh football. Later international career
The return match against Scotland came on 5 March 1877 at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham, with <mask> retaining his place at left-back. The Scots were again victorious, winning 2–0. The match report in the Wrexham Advertiser stated:

<mask> missed the 1878 match against Scotland (lost 9–0) but returned to the side the following year for matches against England and Scotland. Described as "a small, muscular player and a full-back with a reputation as a fearsome shoulder-charger", <mask> had retired from playing and was attending the match against England at Alexandra Meadows, Blackburn on 26 February 1881 as a spectator. Jack Powell missed his train connection at Chester and <mask> turned out in his everyday clothes to give "a splendid performance" at right-back.Some years later, William Pierce Owen recalled the match at Blackburn:It was snowing and hailing and we had been playing for some time, when I saw what I thought was a spectator breaking into the field and making a violent attack upon Marshall and Rostron, the English right wing. Upon closer inspection I found it was <mask> <mask> of Ruabon. He was dressed in long tweed trousers, wore ordinary boots and sported a smart Oxford shirt. He played with the utmost vigour until unfortunately his knee gave way and once more Wales had only ten men

 on the field. According to the Wrexham Advertiser:(John) Hawtrey, the English goalkeeper, threw the ball out but was charged over at the same time and (Jack) Vaughan running up placed the leather safely through the goal for Wales. The Englishmen strove hard to get on terms with their opponents. Shot after shot was aimed at the Welsh goal but each attempt was rendered futile.When time was called Wales were declared winners by one goal to love. This was the first victory by the Welsh international side, five years after their first international match. Legal career
<mask> was Clerk to the Ruabon Magistrates from 1896 and was appointed coroner for East Denbighshire in 1906, a post he held until his death in 1933. Shortly after his appointment, he presided over an inquest into the death of a footballer at Chirk and, after amusing himself with a remark that the jury probably knew more about the game than he did, made the following comment on the game:

One writer who knew <mask> well described him as "thoroughly straightforward and conscientious. He has never been the man to court favour and popularity. His somewhat brusque manner perhaps offended many, but no one ever doubted his sincerity." International appearances
<mask> made five appearances for Wales as follows:

<mask> was born October 24, 1832 in Dolwyddelan, North Wales, the son of <mask> and <mask>. On September 2, 1845 <mask>, Ann and family (5 boys and one girl) immigrated to the United States. <mask> purchased 480 acres of government land east of the village of Cambria, Wisconsin. He built a log house and moved there in the spring of 1846. The farm was named Oakland. In May 1852, <mask>. left Oakland for the city of Racine, Wisconsin where he apprenticed with architect Lucas Bradley.His brother, Evan O<mask>, remained in Cambria and was a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and Senate. Architecture
<mask> worked in Racine for about 4 years before he returned to Cambria. While in Cambria he designed and built many buildings in the area, along with maintaining a lumber yard. In 1871 he left Cambria to become the head draftsman for architect <mask> of St. Paul, Minnesota. In the spring of 1873, <mask> returned to Wisconsin and started his own practice in Madison. He set up office on Main Street across from the Capitol. He maintained the office in Madison until 1885.In 1880 and 1881 <mask> had a branch office in Racine Wisconsin. His head draftsman James Gilbert Chandler worked for him in the Racine office and later took over the business in 1882. One of his first commissions in Madison was a mansion for General <mask>, the founder and publisher of the Wisconsin State Journal. Atwood wrote highly of <mask> skill in his paper. Residences for other prominent Madisonians were soon to follow, Mayor Silas U. Pinney, Colonel C.G. Thorton, banker Lucien Hanks, and Judge <mask> Bunn among others. Madison was

 becoming a resort city in the 1870s and 80s.Two of <mask> commissions were in response to that. <mask> designed the buildings for the Monona Lake Assembly Chautauqua and the Tonyawatha Resort Hotel during that time period. Much of his other work was for the Wisconsin State Government. He designed buildings for the Normal Schools at Whitewater, Platteville and River Falls. He also designed buildings at the Mendota Insane Asylum, University of Wisconsin Madison and the north and south wings of the Wisconsin Capitol Building. <mask> had several students and employees within his firm. His students were Herman Esser, Owen J. Williams, and James G. Chandler.He employed Edward Stark, Frederick W. Paunach, William Kleinpell and J. Albert Swenon. The capitol disaster
In the spring of 1882, the Wisconsin State Legislature approved $200,000 for the extension of the Wisconsin State Capitol. An architectural competition was held and <mask> was awarded the commission. In May of that year bids were sought, with a project completion date of January 1, 1884. Twice the project went out for bids only to exceed the $200,000 approved by the state legislature. Twice <mask> was requested to revise the plans in order to bring down the bids. One of the revisions eliminated the octagonal towers and the lower ranks of iron columns were replaced with stone piers.Eventually the firm of Bentley and Nowlan were the successful bidders with a bid of $188,370. By late 1883 the north wing was all but completed. The south wing had some additional work to be structurally complete. On November 8th, at 1:40 pm the south wing collapsed, trapping and killing 8 workmen and injuring many others. Immediately after, Governor <mask> called

Willett an architect from Chicago. Their report placed the blame on substandard materials, specifically the cast iron columns.The day after the disaster, a coroner’s inquest was impaneled. That inquest was led by Dane County District Attorney <mask>. La Follette. "The panel found Nowlan culpable of "improperly and insufficiently" repairing a fault in the second-story pier near the southeast corner of the extension, which they found to have contributed to the falling of the south wing. They also found D. R<mask> and a consulting Milwaukee architect, Henry C. Koch, guilty of negligence "in designing the internal construction of the said south wing of the Capitol Extension without a due and proper regard for the safety during the erection . . ."

The aftermath of  the capitol disaster

Poetry
<mask> was considered a fine poet among many Welsh Americans, but because of the influence of Charles Darwin on his poetry, others found it unacceptable. He wrote poetry for the newspaper ‘Y Drych’ and for local publications such as the Cambria News. <mask> and his poetry were featured in the Cambrian, a magazine published in Utica New York. <mask> had two books of poetry published, “Hans Bywrd yr Han Lywyd” (1897) and “Yr Ymchwilan y Galwuni” (1910). His unpublished works are in a collection at Bangor University in Wales UK. Personal life
On October 30, 1857, <mask> married Jane Williams of Welsh Prairie, Wisconsin. Four children were born from this union, (Mary, Margaret, <mask> and Jane).<mask> died in 1865, a year after his birth from scarlet fever. Though <mask>’s death was painful for the entire family, it was especially difficult for <mask> to lose his son. Six years later, his wife, Jane, died in 1871 while the family was living in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was left with his three daughters to mourn her loss. <mask> moved back to Wisconsin in 1873. It was there that he met the woman that was to be his new bride. On December 24, 1878 he was married to <mask> of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.She remained by his side until his death in 1915. Death
<mask> <mask> died February 16, 1915, at the age of 82 and is buried in the Cambria Cemetery along with his wives. References

<mask> (born 8 August 1950) is a British novelist, journalist, broadcaster, and critic. She is married with two daughters, and lives in London and Florence. Early life
<mask> was born in 1950 and raised in London. She is the daughter of <mask>, a former Welsh airline steward who later became a manager at British Airways, and his French wife Estelle, who grew up in Bangalore, India. She went to Godolphin and Latymer, a local girls' grammar school. She then studied history at Newnham College, Cambridge, where she was involved in the amateur theatrical club Footlights. After she graduated, she earned an actor's equity card and moved to Tokyo, Japan.In Tokyo, she worked as an English teacher and nightclub hostess for six months, before returning home through Southeast Asia. Broadcasting career
She worked at BBC Radio 4 for two years in London, producing its then arts magazine Kaleidoscope, before travelling again, this time overland through North, Central and South America, a trip that became research material for her first solo novel Snow Storms in Hot Climate (1988), a thriller about the early cocaine trade in Colombia. She went on to work extensively in radio and television, most notably as a presenter of BBC2's late night live arts programme, The Late Show in the 1990s and Night Waves, BBC Radio 3's nightly cultural discussion programme. She contributes regularly to radio, and is an occasional presenter for BBC Radio 4's opinion slot "Point of View". Writing
<mask> started writing in her late twenties, first with a friend, with whom she produced two political thrillers and a five-part BBC1 drama series - Thin Air, starring Kate Hardie, Nicky Henson and Clive Merrison, broadcast in 1988

texts: - before going solo. Her eleven subsequent novels have explored two genres: contemporary thrillers and historical fiction. What unites the two is her decision to use avowedly popular forms, characterised by compelling storytelling, as a way to explore serious subject matter and reach large audiences.This has included (though not exclusively) a passionate commitment to feminism and the role of women inside history. In the 1990s, she wrote a trilogy around a British female private eye Hannah Wolfe, spotlighting issues like surrogacy, cosmetic surgery, animal rights, and violence to women. Sexual violence was also at the centre of "Transgressions" (based on a mysterious series of incidents happening in her house which tackled what might happen if a woman woke to an intruder in her house and live to tell the tale. The resulting furore over the actions of the heroine "caused the book to become a cause celebre which triggered a debate about rape and popular culture". In 2000, an extended visit to Florence changed her working life. In what she acknowledged was something of a midlife crisis, her old passion for history was reignited, and she started to research the impact of the Renaissance on the city in the 1490s. The result was The Birth of Venus, the first of a trilogy of novels about women's lives in the Italian Renaissance.The commercial success of these books in America and elsewhere allowed <mask> to devote herself full time to writing and research, concentrating on the most current work being done in Renaissance studies, most particularly concerning the lives of women. The novel Sacred Hearts, a story of nuns in an enclosed convent in 16th century Ferrara, led to collaboration with

<mask> (born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico 1957) is a Mexican investor who is the founder and managing partner of Fintech Advisory, a firm that specializes in corporate and sovereign debt. Fintech has offices in London and New York City, and he currently divides his time between those two cities. Described as "the most influential Mexican on Wall Street," <mask> played a major role in the restructuring of Argentina's sovereign debt and described himself in 2013 as having participated in nearly every restructuring of sovereign debt during the previous 25 years. His investments have been characterized as extending "from New York to Patagonia." He is a major holder of assets in Argentina, with Fintech Media LLC, a subsidiary of Fintech Advisory, owning "more than a billion dollars in financial assets" in Argentina alone. Early life and education
<mask> was born to <mask> and Julia Guzmán in Monterrey, Mexico. His family lived an average life until his father inherited a small fortune.Later, <mask> moved to Rome and enrolled in Legion of Christ Seminary to become a priest. After just six months he decided he was not suited for that vocation. The New York Times has noted that <mask>'s hometown, Monterrey, "is home to some of Mexico's largest industrial companies," with power being "heavily concentrated among businessmen in the so-called Group of 10, a club that includes the Sada family." Although <mask> "was not a part of that circle, he has cultivated deep connections to it," helping the Sadas in 2004, for example, when one of their firms went bankrupt, and, later, becoming involved in the bankruptcy of the Sada-owned firm Vitro. According to one source, <mask>'s "paternal great great grandmother was the sister of the paternal grandfather of Adrian Sada." "As a young man," according to The New York Times, <mask> "was a member of Regnum Christi, an evangelical group related to the Legionaries of Christ, an influential Roman Catholic order in Mexico that includes among its benefactors the billionaire Carlos Slim."

 in electrical engineering from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM or Tec de Monterrey), he "moved to Rome to study philosophy at the Pontifical Gregorian University and considered becoming a priest."He soon decided, however, that he did not have a clerical vocation, and instead obtained a loan from a friend's father in order to study at Harvard Business School. There he excelled as a student, made important connections, and earned an MBA. Career
After receiving his MBA, <mask> went to work for Citigroup, taking a position on the emerging-markets desk in New York. At Citigroup he began to work "with distressed debt in far-flung places." In 1985, he left Citigroup. Fintech
When he turned 30 in 1987, <mask> started Fintech, reportedly with the help of a US$300,000 loan from his grandmother, which he was able to repay with interest within a year. One of <mask>'s most notable negotiations involved the restructuring of the debt of the Mexican chemicals and textile conglomerate Celulosa y Derivados, Sociedad Anónima (CYDSA), a company that had denied him a job when he was younger.CYDSA agreed to an exchange of debt for equity that would hand control of the company to creditors. Fintech bought US$400 million of CYDSA debt for US$40 million and thereby obtained 60% of the shares, taking control of the company from its founders, the Gonzalez Sada family. Restructuring of Argentina's debt
<mask> has been heavily involved in the Argentinian economy for many years. In 1994, he "invested in the wrecked Argentinean economy by buying government bonds with a maturity of 37 years for $834 million." "Fintech was one of the major participants in the exchange of 2005," wrote William Dahill, a lawyer for <mask>. "He realized that the only way" that Argentina could recover from its economic crisis "would be through a reduction of its liabilities, which would allow the economy to grow and the country regain a minimum level of creditworthiness."

 Argentina, <mask> paid $100 million on the secondary market for Argentine bonds with a nominal value of $700 million.His "wholesale" purchase of defaulted Argentinian bonds was considered an act of "loyalty" to Argentina by Kirchner and others. During Argentina's worst economic times, he bought into "almost all" of the country's large firms, "from Telecom to Transener." Ties to Kirchner family
<mask> has been described as being "closely linked" to the late Argentinian president Nestor Kirchner and as having been a "friend" of Kirchner's. According to one source, "whenever the former president traveled to the United States, he made a place in his schedule" for a meeting with <mask>. Describing <mask> as "Kirchner's Mexican friend," Italy's leading newspaper, Corriere della Sera, has noted that the rise in <mask>'s economic fortunes "coincided with the exceptional political cavalcade of the Kirchners after the collapse of the South American country in December 2001." It is known that Guillermo Nielsen, then Secretary of Finance under Nestor Kirchner, met <mask> in Dubai in September 2003 to discuss the restructuring of Argentina's debt, and that the two men met six to 10 more times in New York, London, and elsewhere to continue the conversation. Over time, the "relationship between <mask> and the Kirchner government became stronger."In 2006, <mask> met Kirchner himself at the Argentine Consulate in New York. Five days later, "<mask> purchased 40 % shares of Cablevisión , the cable television system of Grupo Clarin, the largest media company in Argentina. <mask> can be seen sitting in the front row of the audience in a video of the 2007 inauguration of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Cablevisión
Martínez bought Cablevisión "without any concern for antitrust legislation," and did so at a time when Nestor Kirchner "decided to put his electoral campaign in the hands of Grupo Clarin" and allowed the purchase by <mask> of 50% of Cablevisión. In 2005, Kirchner signed a decree extending broadcast licenses by 10 years; on December 7, 2007, three

 days before leaving office, he signed a decree permitting the merger of Clarin and <mask>'s Cablevisión. After <mask>'s purchase of Telecom Argentina, it was noted that his ownership of major stakes in both this firm and Cablevisión is illegal under Argentinian law. "<mask> could be forced to sell Cablevisión," reported Corriere della Sera."But Christina Kirchner will decide." As of 2014, he held 40 percent of Cablevisión. Vitro
The New York Times reported on October 11, 2012, on <mask>'s involvement in the bankruptcy of Vitro, a 103-year-old Mexican glassmaking firm run by the Sada family, an event that was surrounded by "Allegations…of covert meetings, fraudulent debts and crooked courts" and that ended up with "the company in the hands of its shareholders, while costing bondholders as much as 60 percent of their investment." The Times traced the story to 2009, when <mask> loaned Vitro $75 million in exchange for the title to several of its properties and an option to return them to Vitro later in exchange for a 24 percent stake in the firm. In 2010, <mask> "went to the different banks that Vitro owed money to and bought the claims," thus becoming the firm's "biggest individual outside creditor, owning about $600 million worth of claims." Vitro "began taking big loans from its subsidiaries, in effect creating a fresh class of creditors outside of the hedge funds — a group under its control, with the rights to approve any bankruptcy plan. Subsidiaries went from owing the parent company about $1.2 billion to being owed $1.5 billion."With <mask>'s help, Vitro "outvoted many other bondholders to approve a reorganization plan" that paid creditors about 40 to 60 percent of what they were owed and kept the Sada family in control. In response, American investor Paul Singer's firm, Elliott Associates, and other hedge funds, which together owned about $700 million of Vitro's old debt, claimed that <mask> had helped Vitro "muscle investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars through financial sleight of hand," and accused Vitro of

texts: "audacity, brazen manipulation and greed." Singer and the hedge funds sued Vitro and Fintech in the U.S., where a Dallas court ruled in their favor in summer 2012. An appellate court trial began in October. This legal battle, reported the Times, was "drawing back a curtain on Mr. <mask>'s secretive world" and "could have implications for other companies in the world's fastest-growing economies." Arturo Porzecanski, economist in residence at American University's School of International Service, told the Times that the case "highlighted apparent loopholes in the bankruptcy law of Mexico, through which Vitro ran an 18-wheel truck." The Financial Times published an article by <mask> on March 7, 2013, in which he argued that Judge Griesa's "interference" might "make future sovereign restructurings impossible, setting a dangerous precedent for the world's financial system."Succumbing to "the demands of holdout creditors," wrote <mask>, Griesa had ordered the Argentinian government to pay them $1.3 billion. Noting that the "all sovereign restructurings" had been successful "partly because nations have most of their assets protected by law," <mask> characterized "holdout creditors" as "free riders" whom most nations pay off to avoid harassment; however, "Argentina's leadership, which knows how to fight, opted to defend itself against the world's most litigious funds, which now want to collect in full. These funds are seeking to reap the benefits of Buenos Aires' improved payment capacity – a result of the losses accepted by the vast majority during the restructuring." <mask> called it a "scandal" that Griesa was forcing this majority "to share the interest payments they accepted on their restructured bonds with the minority that litigated," an arrangement which would doubly punish "those who contributed in favour of those who did not." <mask> concluded: "Not only is Mr Griesa's decision unfair – it will also lead to society paying a price in the form of more protracted debt restructurings with less certain outcomes."

 Financial Times ran a reply by Robert Shapiro of American Task Force Argentina, calling <mask>'s article "a disservice to the FT's readers" and saying that Argentina's actions "pose the real threat to global finance." Shapiro explained that since Argentina's 2001 debt default, "the regimes of Néstor Kirchner and Christina Kirchner Fernandez have rejected every tenet of global finance.They refused to negotiate with bondholders, took four years to issue a 'take-it-or-leave-it' offer of 27 cents on the dollar or barely half the international norm, repudiated the debt of 25 per cent of bondholders who rejected that low-ball offer, and ignored more than 100 directives from US courts to honour their obligations." Rejecting <mask>'s claim that Griesa had ordered "those who accepted the last restructuring…to 'share' what is owed to them," Shapiro stated that Griesa had "simply upheld Argentina's own original contract…and noted that under US law the Argentine government cannot choose to pay some creditors and not others." Shapiro commented that "The real victims of the Kirchners' long campaign to ignore their nation's obligations are the Argentine people," and quoted the recent statement by the Argentinian daily La Nación that "The main impediment for ending the conflict with the holdouts is that the government is prioritising the media battle with the creditors over channelling its energy towards seeking a technical solution." Banco de Sabadell
In September 2013 it was reported that he had "bought 5 percent of Banco Sabadell"." He was appointed member of the Board of Directors on 27 March 2014 (re-elected on 19 April 2018). Telecom Argentina
Bloomberg News reported on November 14, 2013, that Fintech Group had agreed to pay $860 million for Telecom Italia SpA's 68 percent holding in Sofora Telecomunicaciones, the controlling holding company of Telecom Argentina through Nortel Inversora, plus a direct minority stake, plus $100 million for related assets, for a total of $960 million.

 Carlos Slim in South America's second-biggest economy" and "expand[ed] <mask>'s bets beyond holdings such as cable assets and Argentina's sovereign debt as he seeks to benefit from increasing Web and video use on mobile devices."Bloomberg reported that "Telecom Argentina and the local unit of fellow Mexican billionaire Slim's America Movil SAB (AMXL) each have about a third of the nation's wireless market." Noting that "Fintech has investments in Argentina's sovereign debt as well as in many restructured companies including a stake in the country's largest cable company, Cablevisión SA," Bloomberg quoted <mask> as saying, "We see tremendous opportunities for growth in the Argentine market and are committed to an important investment program to take advantage of those opportunities." A The Wall Street Journal article, published on November 10, 2013, described <mask>'s decision to invest in Argentina "an unusual call," given that "Argentina has been a cautionary tale for many investors since its 2001 default on $100 billion in sovereign debt" and that its last two presidents, Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Kirchner, had "repeatedly gone mano a mano with big business," nationalizing an oil company and seeking to force the Clarin media group to break up its business. The Journal described <mask> as "part of a small group of investors who are willing to overlook Argentina's status as a financial pariah and bet long term," in the expectation that "the next government to be more pragmatic and less hostile to business." A joint exit
In March 2014 <mask> called together several representatives of funds with holdings in Argentine bonds, with the intention of beginning to negotiate a joint exit for the bondholders. José Luis Manzano, a media entrepreneur and former member of the Menem government, was also involved in the negotiations, and both he and <mask> "assured their partners that they had the approval of the Government" to negotiate a deal. Reportedly, <mask> had asked JP Morgan to come up with an attractive offer for the bonds.Art

In 2006 he reportedly set a record for the highest price paid for a piece of art with the purchase of a Jackson Pollock painting from <mask>. Pollock's painting  "No. 5, 1948" sold for US$140 million (£73m),  on 1 November 2006. However, the auction expert Josh Baer stated that Martinez was not the buyer of the painting. In addition, Shearman & Sterling issued a press release on behalf of its client, <mask>, to announce that contrary to articles in the press, Martinez does not own the painting  or any rights to acquire it. In October 2012, however, The New York Times reported that despite these and other denials, "several people with knowledge of" <mask>'s collection have said that the Pollock work hangs in his New York apartment.<mask> was identified as the seller of a Mark Rothko's Untitled (1961) at Sotheby's in a 2010 lawsuit against him by Dallas art collector Marguerite Hoffman, who claimed breach of contract. Hoffman sold him the work privately in 2007 for a net $17.6 million, forgoing the $30 million to $40 million she said the painting could have fetched at public auction. She later said the deal's privacy agreement was broken when Studio Capital Inc., a Belize-registered company she claimed is controlled by <mask> "for the purpose of maintaining the secrecy of his purchases and sales of art," entered the Rothko in Sotheby's May 2010 auction in New York and marketing materials revealed her prior ownership. She claimed she could have sold the painting at auction herself and received far more, had she not wanted secrecy. The painting was auctioned for $31.4 million. <mask> was included in the 2012 ARTnews list of the world's 200 Top Collectors.

Has a two-story living room and a reflecting pool," and a "special system has been rigged to support one exceptionally heavy piece of art." The Mexican media refer to <mask> as a "ghost investor." One source calls him "a discreet man" who despite his massive investments remains widely "unknown." Reportedly, only one photograph of him can be found on the Internet, which was taken by Kirchner's photographer, Bugge Victor, the official photographer for Argentina presidency, at Argentina's consulate in New York. "There is barely any news about his moves, or pictures of him on the Internet," reported IB Times."There is no estimate of his wealth, although many have said that he is following in the footsteps of fellow Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim to become the richest man in the world." According to The New York Times, "<mask> is, even to his associates, something of a mystery," a man about whom "Little is known….In life as in business, Mr. <mask> treads lightly. He is fond of shell companies, whether to buy artwork or to pay household expenses. Those he hires often know him only as 'the client.'"
