He was brevetted Brigadier General of the Union Army's 49th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War. Early life
<mask> was born at Cross Creek Township, Jefferson County, Ohio on May 16, 1821 to <mask> (1778–1852) and <mask> (née Coe) (1782–1850). He was raised in a family that valued hard work, plain dress, temperance and sympathy for the unfortunate and opposed slavery and "social gilded livery." The <mask> family also placed special attention on developing good oratory and debating skills and held a regular family debating circle during the long winter evenings. On his mother's side, <mask> was descended from Robert Coe who arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634 aboard the ship the Francis.On his father's side, he was of Scotch-Irish descent, the grandson of Colonel <mask>, commanding officer of Virginia's 7th Regiment during the American Revolutionary War, Secretary of the Territory of Indiana (1800–1810), and Acting Governor of Indiana (1811–1813). <mask> <mask> was known to everyone except his mother as "Bill." He was the tenth of 11 children. He had five brothers and five older sisters (Sally, Polly, Hetty, Patty, Eliza, Robert McDowell, Moses Coe, John Kendall, Benjamin, and James Allen). <mask>'s father purchased 320 acres from the Federal Government in Seneca County, Ohio in 1821. When he was only four months old, the <mask> family moved to Seneca County from Jefferson County. The family settled in Melmore, Ohio.At the time, it was still a wooded frontier and home to Seneca and Mohawk Indians. Both sides

Findley with the ceremony being translated by the Indian interpreter "Black Jack." <mask> also recalls hearing Chief "Grey Eyes" preach. In the 1820s, the <mask> brothers took their corn for milling at the mill that the U.S. government built for the Wyandotte Indians on the Upper Sandusky River. <mask> attended the first school organized in Seneca County, Ohio in 1826 with his brothers Robert, Benjamin and James Allen. It was located in the second room of James Latham's log cabin and the teacher was Mrs. Laura Latham.The Lathams later donated land and asked the community to help build a one-room log schoolhouse, which became known as Craw's Hill School. It was run by Headmaster Edward Ranger. Among <mask>'s early schoolmates were Anson Burlingame (diplomat), Consul Wilshire Butterfield (author and historian), O. D. Conger (U.S. Congressman and U.S. Senator from Michigan), and Charles Foster (35th Governor of Ohio and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury). In his late teens, <mask> was eager to explore the American West. Together with his brother Robert McDowell <mask> and his neighbors John Kennedy and James Downs, he formed an exploration party that traveled west to explore the Territory of Iowa.The trip was a disaster with Kennedy and Downs dying by the time they reached Iowa City. The <mask> brothers returned to Melmore, Ohio. It would be their youngest brother James Allen <mask> who would explore the West and settle in Kansas.

In 1841 when <mask> <mask> petitioned the law firm of Rawson & Pennington to join their firm, he was following in the steps of his older brother John Kendall <mask> who had studied law at Washington & Jefferson College and during the U.S. Presidential campaign of 1840, campaigned alongside General <mask> Harrison. Bill (<mask><mask> and Warren P. Noble (later a prosecuting attorney, judge and U.S. Congressman) studied law together under Abel Rawson. <mask> was admitted to the Ohio bar and his first case was defending a client against racial slurs before Judge Reuben Wood. <mask> became involved in politics as a member of the Whig Party with strong anti-slavery views. During the U.S. Presidential campaign of 1844, he gave stump speeches for Henry Clay due to the Whig Party's platform that opposed admitting Texas into the Union because it was a slave state.In the U.S. Presidential campaign of 1848, <mask> supported Whig candidate, "Rough and Ready" General Zachary Taylor. However, he was concerned about the Whig Party's lack of opposition to the abolition of slavery and personally visited Henry Clay at his home in Ashland, Kentucky in 1848 to discuss this issue. He lost as a Whig candidate for Ohio Attorney General in 1853. In 1853, following the large defeat of the Whig candidate General Winfield Scott in the U.S. Presidential election of 1852, <mask> threw his support to the Free Soil Party and began organizing what would become the Republican Party in Ohio. He attended the first organization meeting of the Republican

He confronted Breslin, who assured him that the money would be made good. Breslin noted that his predecessor, Albert A. Bliss had been $65,000 short, and had made it up. He intended to do the same.When the Breslin Treasury Defalcation became public, <mask> was forced to resign. An indignation meeting of leading politicians in the streets of Columbus denounced Breslin and <mask>. A commission appointed to investigate found <mask>'s crime was not in taking money for himself, but in participating in a cover-up. Breslin had moved to Canada to avoid prosecution, and <mask> returned to Tiffin and opened a law office. Civil War General, Commander of the Union Army's 49th Ohio Volunteer Infantry

Funding for this statue came from state funds and also from donations made by his soldiers. After the Civil War

Abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe said that she had "listened to many of the most gifted orators of Europe and America, but have never listened to such eloquence as poured forth for two hours and half as from the lips of <mask><mask>, of Ohio."At <mask>'s funeral in 1894, <mask>, who at the time was Governor of Ohio (1892–1896, and later U.S. President, 1897–1901) made the eulogy. McKinley also noted <mask>'s gift for oratory saying that,

For fifty years, <mask> has been the most attractive and sought after of public speakers. On the lecture platform, at hundreds of Grand Army camp-fires, and in the pulpit, wherever duty called him, General <mask> made fitting responses. ... I am here, to pay tribute to the man I loved so much. The last time I heard him was at Old Fort, the Sunday before Memorial day. He was never more eloquent.General <mask> believed the two most important things in life were piety and patriotism. In his creed they were linked in indissoluble union. His piety was broad enough to include every creed and his patriotism wide enough to cover the whole country.Bigger 1901 : 468

He was interred in Greenlawn Cemetery. On May 25, 1847, <mask> was married in the Presbyterian Church to Martha Matilda Creeger of Tiffin, who was born in Maryland. Notes

One of the challenges the new Prime Minister faced is the relationship between Finland and neighboring Russia.

 reality only about 10 percent of them supported it. <mask>'s term as Minister of Finance drew criticism due to his perceived insensitivity towards the effects of the spending cuts he introduced, which affected the Finnish welfare state and public education system. An instance of <mask> and Sipilä bumping fists after the end of a conference that announced a deal between Finnish trade unions and the Confederation of Finnish Industries was interpreted as a sign of mockery towards the trade  unions. In November and December 2015, <mask> was in the middle of a scandal when he was accused of lying to Finnish Parliament consistently and deliberately. In November, <mask> had said to Parliament that 90 percent of the experts who had given a statement were supporting the government's pact to make it possible for Finns to own publicly listed companies' stock through nominee accounts. The real number was 10 percent, opposite of what <mask> had said.Chancellor of Justice Jaakko Jonkka received multiple complaints over Stubb. In his reply, Jonkka stated that <mask>'s mistake in numbers wasn't deliberate, but was rather an unfortunate, whilst understandable, result of a fast-paced discussion over a policy draft. Partly as a result of a series of <mask>'s gaffes, such as insensitive tweets, in spring 2016, MP Elina Lepomäki and Minister of Interior Petteri Orpo announced that they would challenge <mask> in June's party conference. On 11 June <mask> lost the election against Orpo, who became the new leader of the National Coalition Party. Orpo soon announced that he would take <mask>'s seat as the Minister of Finance.

title: Corporal Punishment (wrestler)

texts: Daniel McDevitt (born October 19, 1973), best known by his ring name <mask>, is a semi-retired American professional wrestler, trainer and promoter. His career spans over a decade working in numerous independent promotions throughout the United States including the American Wrestling Federation, Extreme Championship Wrestling, Cueball Carmichael's Independent Professional Wrestling Alliance, Doug Flex's International Pro Wrestling, Independent Superstars of Professional Wrestling, House of Pain Wrestling Federation / National Wrestling League, and the National Wrestling Alliance. He was a well-known "heel" in the mid-to late 1990s, especially in the Mid-Atlantic region as a top star in the Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation, and engaged in feuds with Johnny Gunn, Axl Rotten, Stevie Richards and Adam Flash on the East Coast. He occasionally appeared in the World Wrestling Federation, as both an in-ring character and preliminary wrestler, during the "Attitude Era". In 1998, McDevitt and Mark "The Shark" Shrader, then owners of the "Bone Breakers Pro Wrestling Training Center" in Halethorpe, Maryland, left the MEWF to form Maryland Championship Wrestling starting a 5-year rivalry which would last until MCW's close in 2003. A graduate of the Baltimore Monster Factory, where he was trained by Axl and Ian Rotten, McDevitt's "Bone Breakers" students include WWE's Lita, Mickie James, Orlando Jordan and Florida Championship Wrestling star Calvin Raines. McDevitt reopened MCW in 2006 where he resumed his long-running feud with Adam Flash, and later, Zachary

It was also during the year that branched out to other promotions in the region.In 1995 alone, he wrestled Morgus the Maniac in the National Wrestling League, the Cuban Assassin in NWA New Jersey, and Doink the Clown (portrayed by Gino Caruso) at a National Wrestling Alliance show for Dennis Coraluzzo at the Rutgers Campus. McDevitt held both titles for over a month before dropping the Mid-Atlantic belt to Raven, helped by his valet Isis, in Essex on April 23. He eventually gained his revenge for the loss by interfering in a title defense between Raven and Chad Austin on October 1, 1995, costing Raven to lose the belt; He regained the Mid-Atlantic title from Austin, beating him for the championship a month later, before the title was vacated. McDevitt lost the heavyweight championship to Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart at that same event, however, he won it back from Neidhart in Catonsville on November 10, 1995. His loss to Joe Thunder less than a month later ended his second title reign. He had one more final run as MEWF Mid-Atlantic Champion after defeating Johnny Gunn for the vacant title on February 26, 1996; he and Gunn feuded in other East Coast promotions during this time such as Wild Organization of Wrestling in Martinsburg, West Virginia. He successfully defended the title against Ricky Blues, among others, and in a three-way dance involving

McDevitt also withdrew from the day-to-day running of the company for a time.It was during this period that the "heel" stable Creative Control (Tom Brandi, The Bruiser, and Jimmy Cicero) gained a degree of creative control over the promotion, its leader Tom Brandi being allowed to dictate his own matches, would often be a source of trouble for the MCW promoter. At "Aggravated Assault", on April 21, 2007, McDevitt ordered Adam Flash to defend his title against Test due to Creative Control's interference at an MCW show a month earlier. On the May 7 "Xtreme Measures II" supercard, Creative Control continually disrupted the show. They overturned Danny Doring's title victory over Adam Flash and introduced McDevitt's ex-wife Kim Payne and Zachary Shane in their official return to MCW. Their appearance caused McDevitt to "leave the building in disgust". That spring, McDevitt also made an appearance as "Corporal Punishment" at a fundraiser for the American Wrestling Federation in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. He and his manager Judd The Stud "stole" the fundraiser money earlier in the show but were forced to return the donations after wrestling WWF legend King Kong Bundy.<mask> also appeared for a National Wrestling League show at South Hagerstown High School where he wrestled former amateur wrestler "Cocky" Rocky DiCola in his first professional wrestling match.

 Zachary Shane, and the Badstreet Boys (Joey Matthews and Christian York). This was originally to be an intergender tag team match with Tom Brandi and Kim McDevitt but it was later cancelled. On July 19, 2008, he and Adam Flash wrestled The Ghetto Mafia (2-Dope and Sydeswype) on the second night of the 8th annual Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup.McDevitt participated in a "Q&A" session at the event with several MCW alumni, including Zachary Shane, and The Iron Sheik where he discussed the incident caused by the Sheik at his wedding. His last major appearance as "<mask> Punishment" was at MCW's "Summer Heat" supercard where he teamed with Adam Flash and Kevin Nash against The Bruiser and The Ghetto Mafia on April 23, 2008. McDevitt later claimed that he "couldn't walk right for a week" following the match. A year later, McDevitt was interviewed by ExpressNightOut.com briefly discussing his early career, his divorce with Kim Payne, experiences as an independent wrestling promoter, and his personal life as a real estate agent. It was also during that interview, while promoting MCW's upcoming anniversary show, that he confirmed that was no longer an active wrestler due to nagging injuries suffered during his career. Recent years (2009–present)
Since 2009, McDevitt has mainly been involved with MCW as a full-time promoter though he continues to make on-camera appearances as MCW's co-owner. He has also been employed in executive positions within the wrestling industry.In 2011, he was hired by the Urban Wrestling Federation as an agent and associate producer

<mask> (born 18 September 1958) is a West Indian former cricketer. Domestic career
<mask> gradually established himself as a bowler, taking 5–42 against Trinidad and Tobago in the 1981/82 Shell Shield, and he was signed by Glamorgan for the 1982 English season to replace the injured Ezra Moseley. Despite sending down rather too many no-balls at times, <mask> finished the season with 42 first-class wickets and was retained for the following season. Returning to Glamorgan after World Cup, <mask> had another successful season, taking 52 wickets at 26.71 from 15 first-class matches, including three five-wicket innings hauls. 1984 was a successful season for <mask>: he took 62 first-class wickets at 27.82 apiece and was unlucky not to be retained by Glamorgan for the following season; they decided instead to employ a certain Javed Miandad. In 1985/86 <mask> played Sheffield Shield cricket in Australia for Tasmania with moderate success. In 1987 he returned to English county cricket with Northamptonshire.For three years he found considerable success, taking a total of 195 wickets at 25.46; his career-best first-class bowling figures of 7-52 came in 1988 in the first innings of the County Championship game against Sussex – noteworthy also for the fact that <mask> and David Capel (3-59) bowled unchanged throughout the 32.5 overs of that innings. <mask> endured a final, less than happy, season with Northamptonshire in 1990: he averaged above 60 with the ball in both first-class and one-day cricket, and went for more than five an over in the latter form of the game. His final bowling spell for his county, in the Championship game against Essex, was a disastrous 5-0-37-0 as Graham Gooch and John Stephenson ran riot. With that, <mask> bowed out of county cricket for good, and in 1990/91 he went to play for Wellington in New Zealand. It proved a shrewd choice as <mask> took 20 first-class wickets at 19.50 in just five matches. After that, there were a couple of exhibition matches against his old county of Glamorgan in 1991, and 54 not out for a

 World XI against the West Indians at Scarborough, before he returned to the Caribbean for three final domestic games. He did little in any of them, and retired from cricket.International career

Early days
<mask> played his first representative match for West Indies Young Cricketers against their English counterparts at Port-of-Spain in August 1976, making an immediate impact by taking 4–35 in his first innings, including the wickets of future Test cricketers David Gower, Mike Gatting and Paul Downton. In 1978 he went to England for the return matches, but it was not until 1979/80 that he made his first-class debut, for Windward Islands against Leeward Islands at St John's. In the meantime in 1982, he had made his Test and One Day International debuts for in the 1982/83 series against India, his first wicket in Test cricket being that of Mohinder Amarnath. Success
In 1983 <mask> was selected for West Indies' World Cup squad, and when brought into the side for the second group match against Australia at Headingley, immediately hit the headlines by taking 7-51, at the time a world record return in ODIs. He was retained for the other four group matches, but took only one more wicket in total and was not selected for the semi-final or final – perhaps unsurprising when one considers that players of the calibre of Marshall, Garner, Holding and Roberts were all in West Indies' squad for the tournament. He played in all six Tests in India that winter, taking 14 wickets, but when Australia visited the West Indies in the spring of 1984, <mask> was selected for only one Test and one ODI, and despite his experience of English conditions he was at first left out of the party to play England that summer, although when Milton Small was ruled out by a knee injury part-way through the series <mask> was drafted into the squad. He played in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, and though he was not particularly effectual with the ball beyond managing to fracture Paul Terry's ulna he did score 77, his highest first-class innings, coming in as

In 1986, <mask> had fallen away from the Test side as West Indies' fast-bowling production line continued to churn out high-quality pacemen. During success in 1987 county tournament, he was recalled to international duties for one last time in India in 1987/88, taking 13 wickets at exactly 30 in four Tests but only three in his three ODIs, and captained the Windward Islands team in the same season. Beyond cricket
In 1998 <mask>, a committed Christian, was left a tetraplegic after suffering spinal injuries as a result of a fall from a tree in St Vincent suffered whilst helping clear land for a new church. He was flown to England for treatment unavailable on the island, and now lives in Worcestershire, England. He has appeared in a film, Because of You, made by Worcestershire County Council's Social Services department; he said of this film, "People with a disability can often be seen as just takers and so for me, starring in this film gave me the opportunity to give something back to the community". Several benefit matches have been held with the object of raising money to help him live a more comfortable life, and have featured a number of high-profile cricketers: in 2005 a Lashings Cricket Club side beat a <mask> XI by 87 runs in a match graced by such names as Chris Cairns, V. V. S. Laxman and Alvin Kallicharran.References

<mask> (also Abraham; ; March 8, 1887 – 15 February 1964) was an Orthodox rabbi and rosh yeshiva of the Mir yeshiva in Brooklyn, New York from 1946 to 1964. Born in Belarus, he served as Rav of several Eastern European Jewish communities and escaped to the United States in 1940 following the German occupation of Poland. In the U.S. he became a tireless rescue activist on behalf of the millions of Jews trapped in Nazi Europe and in the Soviet Union. He is credited with the successful transfer of the entire Mir yeshiva from Lithuania to Shanghai, providing for its support for five years, and obtaining visas and travel fare to bring all 250 students and faculty to America after World War II. He established the U.S. branch of the Mir in 1946. In the 1950s he aided North African and Syrian Jewish youth suffering from persecution and pogroms, and successfully lobbied for the passage of a bill granting "endangered refugee status" to Jewish emigrants from Arab lands. Early life and education
He was born in the shtetl of Delyatichi (Dzialiacičy), Minsk province, Belarus, to Rabbi Aharon Aryeh Leib and Maita Kalmanowitz.His father was a Talmid Chacham and Rav of several European Jewish communities. His father exerted a major influence on his education. He studied at the Telshe yeshiva in Lithuania, and at age 16 entered the Eishishok yeshiva headed by Rabbi Zundel Hutner. At age 18, he progressed to the Slabodka yeshiva, where the Alter of Slabodka, Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, arranged for him to learn in chavrusa with his own son, Rabbi Moshe Finkel. Kalmanowitz received rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein of Slabodka, Rabbi Raphael Shapiro of Volozhin, Rabbi Eliezer Rabinowitz

 of Minsk, and Rabbi Eliyahu Baruch Kamai of the Mir. Entering the rabbinate

In 1913, Kalmanowitz married Rochel the granddaughter of Rabbi Betzalel Hakohen, a dayan (rabbinical court judge) in Vilna and author of the Talmudic commentary Mareh Kohen, which appears in all printed editions of the Talmud. His wife's other grandfather, Rabbi Avraham Moshe, was a former Rav of the town of Rakaŭ on the Polish-Russian border; that community asked Kalmanowitz to serve as its Rav in 1913.In 1916 Kalmanowitz founded a Talmud Torah in Rakaŭ and, in 1918, a yeshiva. Kalmanowitz became a central rabbinic figure and communal leader, working on behalf of refugees and Jews in difficult straits. In 1914, when Rakaŭ was flooded with thousands of refugees fleeing Russia with the outbreak of World War I, <mask> founded a rescue organization that furnished food and clothing. During the Bolshevik Revolution, he aided Jews arrested by the Bolsheviks and was subsequently arrested and imprisoned in Minsk. Later he assisted Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski in the running of the latter's Vaad Hayeshivos, which provided financial aid and support to European yeshivas and their students. In 1928 <mask> helped Grodzinski found a kollel in Vilna called Ateret Zvi, and served as rosh kollel (dean) for its first year of operation. Afterwards he helped move it to Otvosk, where it operated until 1934.In 1926, <mask> was elected honorary president of the Mir yeshiva and began fund-raising for this institution in the United States. During the 1930s, he applied for and received U.S. citizenship and a passport. In 1929, he accepted the position of Rav and av beis din (head of the rabbinical court) of Tykocin (Tiktin), and

 U.S. government officials to tacitly approve the sending of funds from the U.S. to Japan via neutral Switzerland. At war's end, Kalmanowitz obtained visas and travel fare to bring all the Mir students and faculty by ship to San Francisco and by train to New York; the last Mir refugee left Shanghai in 1948. In 1946, Kalmanowitz established a new branch of the Mir yeshiva in New York City with the help of Rabbi Yechezkel Kahane, father of Rabbi Meir Kahane. The yeshiva was first established in temporary quarters in Far Rockaway and Brownsville, and then in a permanent home in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, where it thrives to this day. Rescue work in North Africa
In the late 1940s and 1950s, Kalmanowitz inundated government, United Nations, and church officials with appeals to stop persecutions and pogroms against Jews in Egypt and Syria that eventually resulted in the dissolution of those communities. His efforts led to the passage of a bill according "endangered refugee status" to Jews in Arab lands, paving the way for their immigration to the United States. Kalmanowitz worked onsite to strengthen traditional Torah education among North African Jewish youth.Together with the leaders of Jewish communities in Morocco and Tunisia, he helped found the Otzar HaTorah educational network, which established 28 yeshivas and 20 Talmud Torahs, as well as girls schools, in those countries in 1947 and 1948. <mask> also devised and pushed through a plan granting student visas to the Mir yeshiva in Brooklyn for North African Jewish teens and opened special sections in the yeshiva for them, even though the yeshiva's financial situation was dire. A group of 13 boys arrived from Morocco in 1948,

 but most left the yeshivah to find jobs. One of those who remained was <mask> Portal, a native of Marrakech, who returned to Morocco in 1953 so he could apply for permanent residency status in the United States and in the meantime became the educational supervisor for the Otzar HaTorah network in the French region of Morocco. Portal returned to the Mir in 1956 with a hand-picked group of 15 boys and taught them in a separate program that became the Mir's first high school class. Another beneficiary of Kalmanowitz's largesse was Rabbi David Rebibo, a Moroccan-born student in France who used the student visa Kalmanowitz sent him to come study at the Mir in 1953. Afterwards Kalmanowitz helped Rebibo find his first teaching job.Rebibo has been dean of the Phoenix Hebrew Academy and senior rabbi of Beth Jacob Congregation in Phoenix, Arizona, since 1965. Death and legacy

During a fund-raising trip to Florida in 1964, Kalmanowitz suffered a heart attack and died in Miami Beach on 15 February 1964 (2 Adar 5724) at the age of 73. He was eulogized in large funerals in front of the Mir yeshivas in New York and Jerusalem, and afterwards buried in the Sanhedria Cemetery in Jerusalem near the grave of his father, who had died in 1948. His eldest son, Rabbi Shraga Moshe <mask> (1918-1998), and his sons-in-law, Rabbi Shmuel Berenbaum, and Rabbi <mask> Yaakov Nelkenbaum succeeded him as roshei yeshiva of the Mir yeshiva in Brooklyn.

Due to consecutive landslide defeats and the block voting system in use at the time, the Coalition between the Liberal Party and Country Party was left with only three senators after the 1946 election, all from Queensland. <mask> became the Opposition Whip, the first woman to serve as a whip in federal parliament, while her colleague Walter Cooper became Leader of the Opposition in the Senate with Neil O'Sullivan as his deputy. As Opposition Senate Whip, Senator <mask> did not perform the task of this position as the Senate Whip is responsible for ensuring that Senators from her ranks toe the party line. This responsibility was non-existent to her as there were only three Opposition Senators at the time with these Senators comprising her, Opposition Senate leader Senator Cooper and his deputy Senator O'Sullivan. This led to one commentator remarking:
"Senator Rankin should have an easy job, unless the Leader and Deputy-Leader fall down on theirs".<mask> was a prominent member of the Australian Women's Movement Against Socialisation (AWMAS), formed by Millicent Preston-Stanley to oppose the Chifley Government's proposed nationalisation of the banks.

<mask> (1746 – 1818) was an important British figure in the early feminist movement. Life
She was born <mask> in Nottingham, the elder daughter of a successful Anglican merchant James Clayton and his Catholic wife Sarah Blatherwick and christened at St Nicholas Nottingham on 18 June 1746. James Clayton was already 70 at the time of <mask>'s birth and died when she was four. <mask>'s sister Sarah predeceased him leaving <mask> as his heiress. <mask> was raised as a Catholic by her mother and educated at the Bar Convent in York. <mask> eloped to marry <mask> of Coxwold, Yorkshire at age 15. Initially they were married in private by a Catholic priest, but <mask>'s guardians insisted that she be married in the Anglican Church and the marriage was conducted at St Nicholas' in Nottingham on 2 May 1762.<mask> seems to have been  descended from the <mask> family of Ugthorpe Old Hall, however <mask> <mask> insists in her memoirs that he is related to the Earl of Derwentwater, a statement confirmed by a reference from Lord Traquair who states that they were "distantly related to the Derwentwater family." <mask>'s parents are described in Letter III of the memoirsof the Memoir (Edinburgh, 1810) as living in Yorkshire, and a 'good old couple' who were 'quite overjoyed' 'at seeing their only surviving son so comfortably provided for.' <mask>'s first mention of her husband's Derwentwater  ancestry occurs when she lists her sons:
“and next Joseph, so named after his father, James, in memory of my father, and the unfortunate Earl of Derwentwater, who forfeited his life in the rebellion of 1715, and Charles after the brother of the Earl of D--, who fell martyr to the same cause, in 1745, from which family I was always told, my husband was a descendent”

The couple had eight children in quick succession, <mask>, <mask>, Joseph, James, Charles,

Financial difficulties due to their growing family forced <mask> to invest in the sugar industry, and after unsuccessful speculations <mask>'s inheritance was depleted. The family estates in three counties inherited from James Clayton were sold to pay Joseph's debts. From this point in 1783 <mask>'s husband could not provide for the family.She sought positions as a housekeeper at Traquair House, governess, and in a milliner shop. With hard work she was able to put her sons, Joseph, James and Charles through school. <mask> Senior found work as house steward to Sir John Stanley, 6th Baronet Stanley at Alderley Park in 1783 and was not to see <mask> <mask> again. <mask> senior died in 1804 and Edward Stanley, son of Sir John  and Bishop of Norwich was executor of his will. <mask>'s eldest son Joseph became a merchant, her second son James a pastrycook in Holborn and her youngest son Charles after absconding from the army became a successful though minor painter who died in Salem Massachusetts in 1806. Of <mask> and her husband, <mask> the Rouge Croix Pursuivant writes "Joseph Radclyffe of Coxwold, born in 1726, married the heiress of James Clayton of Nottingham. "Having some little fortune of his own, which was improved by that of his wife, he soon after his marriage kept a house in Grosvenor Square, with a coach and four, and kept it up as the means lasted.His widow, a clever sensible woman, kept a ready-made shoe shop, in about 1795, in Oxford Street, and is now (1810) in Edinburgh, on the bounty, I believe, of some old female acquaintance." While working as housekeeper at Traquair House for the Earl of Traquair and his wife, the former <mask> – a student with <mask> at the Bar Convent, <mask> befriended the controversial Scottish theologian Alexander Geddes.

 to last until his death in 1802. Geddes encouraged her to follow her conscience, leading to her abandonment of Catholicism. This led to further estrangement from her friends and supporters and increased her difficulties in finding employment. Her Memoirs, commenced in 1807, were written to raise money after her final business venture, a pastry shop near Portobello in Scotland failed due to <mask>'s rheumatism and failing health. By the time of the publications of her Memoirs in 1810 she was living on the charity of her friend, Mrs Ferrier of St John's Hill in Edinburgh.Ferrier and Watersons Wax Chandlers of High Street, Edinburgh were the point of sale for the book. <mask> <mask> is often listed as having died in 1810, the date of the publication of her memoirs, however her death certificate lists her of having died of 'a decline' in 1818 in Edinburgh. She is buried in an unmarked grave in Old Calton Cemetery. Works

<mask> is most famous for her book,The Female Advocate; or, An Attempt to Recover the Rights of Women from Male Usurpation (1799). This book discussed how men working in millinery and other occupations took jobs away from women forcing them to prostitution. <mask>'s argument was framed in Christianity. She stressed  how respectable women are turning to prostitution because of poverty and lack of respectable work.She argued that lack of education, societal prejudices of what a genteel woman should or should not do, hampered women from obtaining  a job in a respectable establishment. There is disagreement as to whether <mask> <mask> is the author of several Gothic novels attributed to her.

 matters by making no reference to <mask> as a Gothic novelist. Other novels attributed to <mask> <mask> are Radzivil and The Fate of Velina de Guidova, both published in 1790 by William Lane at the Minerva Press. Radclife’s (sic) New Novelist’s Pocket Magazine appeared in 1802, a collection of fictions compiled “by Mrs <mask> Radclife, of Wimbledon in Surrey.” Certainly <mask> was living in Surrey around this time. <mask> <mask> states in her memoirs that it was her intention to publish all of her books anonymously however she was coerced by her publisher into publishing under her name to benefit by the similarities of her name with that of the more famous Gothic novelist <mask>.Her later published book, The Memoirs of Mrs. <mask> <mask>; in Familiar Letters to her Female Friend in 1810, made apparent the strong influence of her life's circumstances on her first book. The memoirs are written in a deliberately cryptic style, using initials instead of names for both places and people, however many can be identified using clues provided by <mask> in the text. For example while working as a companion to an elderly gentleman at R___, she mentions the house as being opposite the place where the Magna Carta was signed, identifying the place as Runnymede. The diaries of Lady Traquair are useful in providing other details of <mask>'s life including her involvement with Alexander Geddes. Publications

<mask> (1880–1971) was an Italian publisher, anarchist, and prolific author. Early life

<mask> was born on July 4, 1880, in Pistoia, Italy. After finishing elementary school, she became an apprentice at a local printing press, where she became acquainted with the publishing world, and anarchist/socialist ideas. In 1897, she published Pensieri, a book of poems, with her brother. Around the turn of the century, her experience living briefly in Alexandria, Egypt, cemented her interest in Eastern ideas and led to her studying the Arabic language and converting to Islam. Her commitments to anarchism and Islam were lifelong. Career

<mask> moved to Florence and married Luigi Polli, an anarchist bookseller whom she met in the Chamber of Labor, in May 1902.They founded Rafanelli Polli, a publisher of anti-military, anti-clerical, feminist pamphlets authored by Carlo Cafiero, Francesco Saverio Merlino, and <mask> herself. <mask> Polli also published the anarchist periodical La Blouse (1906–1910). She published her first novel () in 1905. Her connection with Polli dissipated, though they remained friendly until his death in 1922. In the early 1900s, <mask> helped to co-found a committee to aid political victims from 1890s revolts and was targeted for distributing revolutionary and anti-military propaganda in Fusignano. She entered a relationship with Giuseppe Monanni, an Arezzo printer who published Vir: novissima rivista di alte questioni sociali on anarcho-futurist ideas influenced by the individualism of Max Stirner and Friedrich Nietzsche. They moved to

She dedicated L'ultimo martire del libero pensiero ("The Last Martyr of Free Thought") to Francisco Ferrer, a Catalan pedagogue whose execution had become a cause célèbre and movement. <mask> wrote Verso la Siberia: scene dalla rivoluzione russa ("Towards Siberia: Scenes from the Russian Revolution") during Italian protests against Nicholas II under a pseudonym, Bazaroff, taken from Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Sons. Her press published her brother's Marinai italiani a Tripoli in 1913. The press's image was enhanced by association with the illustrator Carlo Carrà, with whom <mask> had a brief relationship. The press published works by Charles Albert, Charles Darwin, Pietro Gori, Peter Kropotkin, and Elisée Reclus.They paused publishing during World War I. One of their major works was the republication of Nietzsche's complete works in Italian, published between 1926 and 1927. <mask> had a friendship with Benito Mussolini prior to his rise as Italian dictator.

 his military interventionist stance became readily apparent. She later published their correspondence in Una donna e Mussolini (1946) and privately admitted her error in judging his personality. In the interwar period, she republished Bozzetti sociali and the short stories Donne e femmine (1922).<mask> published two novels under pseudonyms: Incantamento (1921) as Sahra and L’oasi: romanzo arabo (1929) as Étienne Gamalier. Her relationship with Monanni dissipated in the 1930s, as did her militant activism. She worked as a fortune teller, a teacher of Arabic, and editorial work. <mask> continued to write for the anarchist periodical Umanità Nova. She moved to Genoa in the 1940s, where she died on September 13, 1971. Personal life
