title: Domenico Beccafumi

texts: The Italian Renaissance-Mannerist painter <mask> was active in Siena. He is a representative of the Sienese school of painting. The son of a peasant, <mask> was born in Montaperti, near Siena. Lorenzo encouraged him to learn painting from Mechero, a lesser Sienese artist. He traveled to Rome in 1509 to learn from the artists who had just finished their first work in the Vatican. While the Roman works of two Sienese artists of his generation had infused them with elements of the Umbrian-Florentine Classical style, Beccafumi's style remains in striking ways. In Siena, he painted religious pieces for churches and mythological decorations for private patrons, only slightly influenced by the gestured Mannerist trends dominating the nearby Florentine school.There are medieval eccentricities, sometimes phantasmagoric, superfluous emotional detail and a misty non-linear, often jagged quality to his drawings. In addition to painting, he also directed the celebrated pavement of the cathedral of Siena from 1517 to 1544, a task that took over a century and a half. The pavement is engraved with the outlines of the subject in black and has borders inlaid with rich patterns in many colors. From the year he was engaged in continuing this pavement, he made very ingenious improvements in the technical processes employed, and laid down scenes from the stories of Ahab and Elijah. The arch and horse were made for the procession of the emperor Charles V. The Sienese style of painting edges into a more irrational and emotionally unbalanced world compared to the equilibrated, geometric, and self-assured Florentine style. The perspectives of buildings are often awkward.The setting is often hallucinogenic. In the Nativity, figures enter from the shadows of a ruined arch, while angels form an architectural hoop. While the house is in shadows, the Virgin and the Angel Gabriel shine as they reside in a world not in day or dusk. In Christ in Limbo (Pinacoteca Nazionale, Siena), Christ sways as he enters a netherworld of ruins and souls. S.J. The Florentine mannerist contemporary Rosso Fiorentino is compared by Freedberg to his vibrant eccentric figures. The play is similar to a play in which all the actors have taken atypical costumes and forgotten some of their lines.wars and natural disasters caused a decline in Siena, which was an artistic, economic, and political rival of Florence. The last line of Sienese artists, a medieval believer of miracles awaking in Renaissance reality, has a 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 888-270-6611 The Cleveland Museum of Art Angels has a drawing of Abraham St. Peter.

title: Abraha

texts: The viceroy of South Arabia was an Aksumite army general named Abreha. Arabia and Yemen were ruled by Abraha from at least 531-547CE. The Jewish Himyarite ruler of Yemen, Life Dhu Nuwas, launched military operations against the Aksumite Christians. The Aksumites in Zafar were killed and their fortresses in the Yemen highlands were destroyed. Many members of the Himyarite Christian community were put to death after Najran fell. An intercontinental Aksumite military intervention using the massive Aksumite fleet aided by a small extra Byzantine fleet first made in 518/523 resulted in great sympathy throughout the Christian regions of the Orient. The former slave of a Roman merchant was identified by Procopius.There were either commanders or members of one of the armies that fought against Dhu Nuwas. The second army sent by Kaléb after the first failed was led by 'Ariat. After the suicide of Dhu Nuwas, the leader of an army of 100,000 men with hundreds of elephants, was reported to have seized power and established himself in the capital city of Yemen. He aroused the anger of Kaléb by not paying tribute to his general who was sent to take over the governorship of Yemen. Ariat was killed and 'Abraha suffered an injury which earned him the nickname of al-Asrm. Abraha's nose was either lost in battle or due to a disease. According to Procopius, "Abraha seized control of Yemen from Esimiphaios (Sumuafa' Ashawa), the Christian Himyarite viceroy appointed by Kaléb, with the support of dissident elements within the Aksum occupation force who were eager to settle inThe rise of Dhu Nuwas would have happened in 525, although a date as late as 543 has been proposed by Stuart. An army sent by Kaléb to subdue 'Abraha joined his ranks and killed the ruler sent to replace him. Kaléb had to accord him recognition before he could be considered for a tribute. <mask> became a prominent figure in Yemen's history, promoting the cause of Christianity in the face of Judaism and the paganism of Central Arabia. He is said to have built a great church at San'a', in competition of the Kaaba located in Mecca which was the most prominent religious site in all of Arabia, and to have repaired the main irrigation dam at Marib. An inscription on the Marib Dam recording the quelling of an insurrection backed by a son of the deposed ruler, Esimiphaios, is one of the Epigraphic sources that chronicle '<mask>'s career. The reception of envoys from the Negus, from Byzantium, and from Persia, as well as the completion of repairs to the dam, took place in the same year.The title was adopted by '<mask>' and dh-Raydn and Hadhramaut and Yamanat. According to the National Museum of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, the National Museum of Saudi Arabia is named after the Himyarites. The House of Allat in Taif, the House of Yareem in Yemen, and the House of Ghamdan in Yemen were all built by him. According to the traditions, the cathedral at San'a' known as al-Qullays was built to compete with the Kaaba at Mecca and specifically came with his elephants to destroy the Kaaba. According to the inscription at Murayghn, Death Munro-Hay died some time after 553. It is placed immediately after his expedition to Mecca. He was succeeded on the throne by his two sons, who were born to a Yemenite noblewoman named Raihna.The pro-Persian group in Yemen made contact with the king through the Lakhmid princes. The Aksumites were driven from Yemen and Southern Arabia by the Persians under the command of Wahriz, who was a Yemenite. The Year of the Elephant was a time when the Quraysh of Mecca was invaded by a military expedition. According to Islamic traditions, a cathedral was being built in the city of Sanaa to serve as a pilgrimage center. Realizing that the Kaaba was already being used for such a purpose, <mask> set out to destroy the Kaaba in order for all the pilgrims to direct themselves to his new cathedral and maximize his profits. The elephants were in the expeditionary forces. The favour was put in God's hands by Muhammad's paternal grandfather, who realized that he couldn't take on the forces of Abraha.The story goes that the next day, as they prepared for battle, they discovered that their elephant refused to approach Mecca. Birds from the sea brought with them three small stones, which they dropped on the soldiers. Everyone was killed by these stones. The man was hit repeatedly and dismembered. He had a stump of a body when he reached Sanua. He died after his heart burst. The War of the Elephant was a year of death.The same year Muhammad was born, it was also a year of life. Outside of later Islamic tradition, there is no mention of <mask>'s expedition. The story is seen as a later Islamic tradition designed to explain the "men of the elephant" in Qur'an 105:1-5. According to recent findings of Himyaritic inscriptions, the failed conquest of Mecca was the result of an hitherto unknown expedition. The Quraysh, despite their small number and poverty, quickly rose to prominence in the following years, evidenced by the great fair of Quraysh, held in al-U. Daniel Beck has issues with the story. African war elephants hadn't been used in the region for over 600 years.It's difficult to explain how she got hold of the elephants. Qur'an 105 is appealing to traditions from 2 Maccabees and not referencing any expedition. The Kingdom of Aksum Shaiba is also referred to as the Pre-Islamic Arabia.

On Mr. <mask>'s birthday, the children were summoned to the family gathering in either Massachusetts or New York. There were two days when joy was unrestricted. Mr. <mask> used to give a Christmas tree and a surprise for the children and the good wife. The Christmas tree and surprises were given to the children when they were grown up. The family was bound together by ties that only death could sever, and even death cannot break such bonds, for they live in the heart always. Mr. <mask>, accompanied by his wife and children, has visited Europe several times, and on each occasion he paid his native town a visit, always bestowing upon the place some token as a mark of love and affection for his first home.The natives turned out in large numbers to greet him. He was a son of a small German town and so it was natural that he would be honored. Mr. <mask> claimed to be an American even though he was foreign. He was very fond of the land of his birth, even though he was adopted from another country. The Daily American Newspaper had births and deaths from the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

After the 2008 presidential elections, he became the first foreign official to hold talks with both the President and the Prime Minister. In 2006 Foreign Affairs published an analysis of the state of US and Russian nuclear forces, concluding that post-Cold War US nuclear forces seemed designed to carry out a preemptive strike against Russia or China and that the planned missile defense would be valuable in an offensive context. The Financial Times received an official Russian response to the article a few days later.According to a report, in 2007, the US government was very upset about Steinmeier, who had sounded supportive of Russian accusations that a planned US missile defense complex in Poland would upset the strategic balance in Europe.

Steinmeier was Germany's most popular politician in polls of eligible voters over the course of the year. Steinmeier stood firm on Germany's approach in the Ukraine conflict, despite criticism from the United States, where it was balancing support for European economic sanctions on Russia with leaving the door open to a revived partnership. In May of last year, he proposed a greater mediation role for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. Steinmeier hosted a number of Normandy format meetings in Berlin to negotiate a solution to the situation in the East of Ukraine. German doctors were allowed to visit a Ukrainian military pilot who had been on a hunger strike for more than two months in a Russian jail during the talks on a ceasefire for eastern Ukraine in early 2015. Steinmeier has previously ruled out arms shipments to resolve the conflict.In 2015, Steinmeier hosted a meeting of the delegations from Libya's two rival governments, who were battling for control of the country, and the United Nations Special Representative Bernardino Len to discuss a UN-sponsored peace and power-sharing proposal. The International Syria Support Group (ISSG) and the Syria peace talks in Vienna in October 2015, drew together Saudi Arabia, its main regional rival, Iran, as well as Russia, the United States and other Western powers and regional actors. The search for a successor to President Gauck began in June 2016 after he decided not to run for a third term. The Social Democrats and the conservatives agreed in November 2016 to support Steinmeier's candidacy for president. As the Greens control a majority in the Federal Convention, Birthler's election would have been secured. Birthler decided not to run. Germany's 16th Federal Convention elected Steinmeier President on the first ballot with a total of 1,260 votes.After his predecessor's term in office expired, Steinmeier took the oath of office as President of Germany before a joint session of the parliament. He was re-elected as President in February of 2022.

He has received awards for his work in architecture and art. <mask> was born in 1969. He began working in the China Architecture Design & Research Group after graduating from the Department of Architecture, Tianjin University. He was the chief architect of CAG in 2001. He established his own studio in CAG.The classical Chinese gardens and their contemporary characteristics, as well as applies the modern architecture languages of structure and form, skin and material, are what <mask>nggang focuses on when he is interested in the Chinese feature in architecture. He wants to strengthen personal design power and express his own architectural philosophy on the two main routes. He has been invited to take part in some exhibitions concerning architecture and art, as well as winning several architecture honors and awards. The process of "Research + Design" is advocated by the company. Being in charge of the full process of design as well as taking control of the building, interiors, and landscape is what the company is known for. An approach to contemporary architectural works with cultural depth and aesthetic affection is what it is. "Ancient Master's Studies" and "Chinese Gardens - Settlements" are two of the innovations that the research team is interested in.The longevity and antiquation of architecture are the result of natural instinct and rational logic. The process of "design" is the journey looking for an only and perfect solution, solely realized after analyzing the various given conditions and possibilities. The journey and goal are dependent on the tendency or impressions of the architect. We can appreciate the interest in Chinese gardens in his early works. The design was an expression of the feel of the gardens. During his career, this influence continues. He was well known for his Sino/foreign cooperation in two big projects up to the moment, as the chief designer, he presided engineering design and particular work, cooperating with the French firm Arup it was just the beginning which gave him a basis.The steel skin was used to determine if the design was acceptable in China. The development of this "skin-space" concept together with Chinese gardens gave maturity to the Office, the design of <mask>gang seems to be swinging between tradition and modernity. Reconstruction of No is one of the applications we can see. B-59-1 includes the earthquake memorial, Fuxing Road, the station on Beijing Subway Line 13, and the convention center in Haikou.

title: Ali Mardan Khan Bakhtiari

texts: After the death of Nader Shah in 1747, <mask>ri was the major contender for supremacy in western Iran. He assumed the title of Vakil-e daulat, "deputy of the state", with the Safavid prince Ismail III as a figurehead that legitimized his rule. After a number of battles, he was killed at his own camp in 1754. <mask> was one of the supporters of <mask>, who was crowned as A in 1747, after the death of Nader Shah. The new ruler lacked his uncle's imperious magnetism to pull together the rest of the empire. He sent his brother to the city instead of marching to the old capital to make sure the city was protected. The city was weakened to near-poverty because of his underemployed army.<mask> asked for Adil Shah's allowance to allow him to lead his men home, but the latter declined. <mask> and his men were hunted by a force sent by Adil Shah, which they inflicted an overwhelming defeat on. <mask> and his men eventually reached the Zagros ranges of western Iran. The governor of the city was the Haft Lang clan's Abu'l-Fath <mask>ri. In the summer of 1747, Adil Shah was blinded and replaced by the new king, Ebrahim Mirza. He was defeated and killed by the forces of Shahrokh Shah, the grandson of Nader Shah, who remained in Mashhad, and did not attempt to restore rule in western Iran, which was in turmoil. <mask> and his men clashed with the forces of Zakariya <mask>.Golpayegan, a key spot on the route to Isfahan, was seized by <mask> after he was defeated initially. In the spring of 1750, he tried to capture Isfahan, but was defeated at Murchakhur, a town near the city. He started to dispatch messengers at Golpayegan to his regional opponents, who accepted his offer of terms, and combined their forces with the latter, which made the number of their men increase to 20,000. After <mask>'s reasonable, they agreed to surrender and collaborate with them after storming the gates of the fortress of the city. The alliance formed in western Iran under the cover of restoring the Safavid dynasty appointed a 17 year old prince, Abu Torab, as a puppet ruler. <mask> took the title of Vakil-e daulat (deputy of the state) as the head of the administration, while Abu'l-Fath maintained his post as governor of Isfahan, and Karim <mask> was appointed commander (sardar) of the Ali Mardan increased his shakedown on the city, which New JulFA suffered the most from, a few months after the expedition in Kurdistan.He broke the terms he had made with the two chieftains by having Abu'l-Fath deposed and killed. He appointed his uncle as the new governor of the city and then proceeded to pillaging the province of Fars. He started having his deputies replaced, as well as taking heavy tax and lots of money to keep his army supplied with the equipment and goods they needed. A lot of his bureaucrats and officers had one of their eyes removed as a result of this. <mask> was attacked at the dangerous passage of Kutal-e Dokhtar by regional guerrillas under the leadership of Muzari <mask>. The plunder of <mask> was taken and 300 of his men were killed. The forces of <mask> decreased even more due to the abandonment of some of his men.The situation became worse for <mask> when Karim <mask> returned to Isfahan in January 1751 and restored order in the city. During the battle in Lorestan, several prominent officers deserted <mask> and joined Karim <mask>, who eventually emerged victorious, forcing <mask> and the remains of his men to flee. There was an alliance between <mask> and the governor of Khuzestan. In the spring of 1752, <mask> and other people went to Kermanshah. The forces of Karim <mask> were repelled after attacking their camp. A battle took place near Nahavand between <mask> and Karim <mask>.

The son of the former shah was in the city. The prince could be used by <mask>, Mostafa <mask> and others to return to Iran in order to attempt to restore the Safavid dynasty. They began assembling an army in early 1753 with the support of the Pashtun military leader.

After doing a thorough check of Sultan Husayn II's background, <mask> and his associates discovered that he was actually the son of an Azeri man and an Armenia woman. After two years of being besieged by the Zand forces, <mask>'s men in Kermanshah surrendered and were spared by Karim <mask>, who defeated <mask> and captured Mostafa <mask>.After fleeing with Sultan Husayn II, <mask> was blinded and sent to Iraq due to being too heavy. <mask> captured two of Karim <mask>'s relatives in the spring of 1754. He began negotiating with them about an alliance after taking them into his camp near Kermanshah.

title: Eckhard Pfeiffer

texts: Pfeiffer served as president and CEO of Compaq from 1991 to 1999 and is a businessman of German ancestry. He was one of the Time "Cyber Elite Top 50" in 1998. <mask>'s father was a prisoner of war during World War II, while <mask>'s mother fled the Soviet troops. He received his masters degree from Southern Methodist University. He established operations from scratch in both Europe and Asia when he joined Compaq. The company was given US$20,000 by Pfeiffer. He opened the first overseas office for Compaq in 1984.54 percent of Compaq's revenues came from foreign sales in 1990. On July 12, 1991, <mask> was named to succeed Michael S. Swavely as president of the North American division of Compaq. <mask> was given the title of Chief Operating Officer. The coup that forced Rod Canion to resign as president and CEO of Compaq resulted in <mask> becoming president and CEO. Compaq's first loss as a company was caused by Canion allowing competitors to undercut it with cheaper offerings. Compuq has made a lot of tactical errors in the last year and a half according to an analyst. They were trend-setters, now they are lagging.Canion wanted Compaq to build lower cost PCs in-house, while Rosen believed that Compaq needed to buy standard components from suppliers and reach the market faster. While Canion developed an 18-month plan to create a line of low-priced computers, Rosen sent his own engineering team to Comdex without Canion's knowledge and discovered that a low-priced PC could be made in half the time and at a lower cost than Canion's Canion's consensus-style management slowed the company's ability to react in the market, whereas Pfeiffer's autocratic style would be suited to price and product competition. Canion was not aware that the directors interviewed Pfeiffer for several hours without her knowledge. The board was unanimous in picking Pfeiffer over Canion. Canion was bitter about being ousted from the board of Compaq and didn't speak to Rosen for a long time. Canion admitted in 1999 that his removal was justified.I had to leave. He felt that I didn't have a sense of urgentness. Two weeks after Canion's ousting, five other senior executives resigned, including company founder James C. Harris. As their functions were to be shifted to vice presidents, these departures were motivated by an enhanced severance or early retirement. During Pfeiffer's tenure as chief executive, Compaq entered the retail computer market with the Presario which made them one of the first manufacturers to market a sub-$1000 PC. In order to maintain the prices it wanted, Compaq became the first first-tier computer manufacturer to utilize CPUs from the two companies. The two price wars resulting from Compaq's actions ultimately drove numerous competitors from the market, such as Packard Bell, and by 1994 Compaq had overtaken Apple Computer and even surpassed I.B.M.The top PC manufacturer. Compaq was able to wage the price wars because of its better inventory and gross margins. Pfeiffer initiated a major management shakeup in the senior ranks despite record sales and profits. Pfeiffer's vision was to move Compaq beyond its main business of manufacturing retail PCs and into more lucrative business services and solutions that IBM did well at. The new CFO, Earl Mason, was hired from Inland Steel in May 1996. Compaq's cash increased from $700 million to $5 billion in one year, thanks to Mason's guidance, which utilized its assets more efficiently. The return on invested capital has doubled to 50 percent from 25 percent.Major acquisitions were made by Pfeiffer. The NonStop server line was bought by Compaq in 1997. The higher end business computing market was given a presence by this acquisition. Digital Equipment Corporation was the leader in the previous generation of computing during the 1970s and early 1980s. The acquisition made Compaq the second largest computer maker in the world in terms of revenue behind I.B.M. Pfeiffer didn't have a good idea of what the combined companies should do, or how the three dramatically different cultures could work as a single entity, and Compaq struggled because of a strategy that had the company caught in between the low end and high end. The kind of goals he had sounded good to shareholders were like being a $50 billion company by the year 2000, according to Mark Anderson, president of Strategic News Service.They didn't have anything to do with customers. There is a new C.E.O. Did the customer benefit from the acquisition? They should get rid of it if the answer isn't yes. Compaq struggled to compete in the PC market with the Dell Computer Corporation, which sold directly to buyers, avoiding the dealer channel, and built each machine to order to keep inventories and costs at a minimum. Compaq has tried to become a major systems company, like I.B.M., despite its acquisitions of the Digital Equipment Corporation last year and Tandem Computer in 1997. They were both Hewlett-Packard.In the summer of 1998, Compaq was having quality problems. Pfeiffer refused to develop a potential successor, as well as rejecting the idea of recruiting a few executives to create the position of Compaq president. Pfeiffer was removed from management and the troops by the board as he surrounded himself with other people. On April 17, 1999, just nine days after Compaq reported first-quarter profit being at half of what analysts had expected, <mask> was forced to resign as CEO in a coup led by the board chairman. The directors were unanimous in dismissing Pfeiffer at the special board meeting. Pfeiffer's company missed expectations in three out of the last six quarters. Dell had 45% growth in U.S. PC sales in the first quarter of 1999."As a company engaged in transforming its industry for the Internet era, we must have the organizational flexibility necessary to move at Internet speed," he said. The company has come a long way since Pfeiffer joined in 1983, he said in the statement. He moved to streamline operations and reduce indecision in order to have Compaq catch up as an E-commerce competitor. As a result of his forced resignation, Pfeiffer received $6 million in severance pay and $70 million worth of stock options that vested immediately. At the time of his departure, Pfeiffer had more than 10 million exercisable options which he had yet to cash in. Many of Pfeiffer's top executives resigned or were pushed out after Aftermath Rosen assumed the role of interim CEO. The senior vice president and general manager of Compaq Services, who had been said to be the heir-apparent to Pfeiffer, had performed strongly as his division had sales of $1.6 billion for the first quarter compared to $113 million in 1998, which met expectations and was anticipated to post accelerated.CFO Mason, who had previously been offered the job of chief executive of a company outside the personal computer industry, informed the board that he accepted the offer. Rose, head of Compaq's enterprise computing group, was upset that he wasn't considered for the CEO position, and his division accounted for one third of the company's revenues. Michael Capellas was the permanent replacement for Pfeiffer. After Pfeiffer's ousting, Capellas was elevated to interim chief operating officer, and after several months, he was made president and CEO, also assuming the title of chairman. Capellas was able to restore some of the luster lost in the last part of the Pfeiffer era and he repaired the relationship with Microsoft which had deteriorated under his predecessor's tenure, but the company still struggled against lower-cost competitors such as Dell who took over the top spot of PC manufacturer Pfeiffer has been the chairman of Accoona since December 2004. Pfeiffer is a board member of several corporations.On December 3, 2004, Accoona released a press release naming <mask> as chairman. Time. 1998. The people who were born in 1941 were American chief executives German emigrants to the United States.
