Passage 1:Bohemond III of AntiochBohemond III of Antioch, also known as Bohemond the Child or the Stammerer (French: Bohémond le Bambe/le Baube; c. 1148–1201), was Prince of Antioch from 1163 to 1201. He was the elder son of Constance of Antioch and her first husband, Raymond of Poitiers. Bohemond ascended to the throne after the Antiochene noblemen dethroned his mother with the assistance of the lord of Armenian Cilicia, Thoros II. He fell into captivity in the Battle of Harim in 1164, but the victorious Nur ad-Din, atabeg of Aleppo released him to avoid coming into conflict with the Byzantine Empire. Bohemond went to Constantinople to pay homage to Manuel I Komnenos, who persuaded him to install a Greek Orthodox patriarch in Antioch. The Latin patriarch of Antioch, Aimery of Limoges, placed Antioch under interdict. Bohemond restored Aimery only after the Greek patriarch died during an earthquake in 1170.Bohemond remained a close ally of the Byzantine Empire. He fought against the new lord of Armenian Cilicia, Mleh, assisting in the restoration of Byzantine rule in the Cilician plain. He also made alliances with the Muslim rulers of Aleppo and Damascus against Saladin, who had begun to unite the Muslim countries along the borders of the crusader states. Since Bohemond repudiated his second wife and married an Antiochene lady, Patriarch Aimery excommunicated him in 1180.Bohemond forced the Armenian rulers of Cilicia to accept his suzerainty in the late 1180s. He also secured the County of Tripoli for his second son, Bohemond, in 1187. However, Saladin occupied almost the whole Principality of Antioch in the summer of 1188. To preserve the peace with Saladin, Bohemond did not provide military assistance to the crusaders during the Third Crusade.  The expansionist policy of King Leo I of Armenia in the 1190s gave rise to a lasting conflict between Antioch and Cilicia. Bohemond was captured in 1194 by Leo, who tried to seize Antioch, but the burghers formed the Commune of Antioch and expelled the Armenian soldiers from the town. Bohemond was released only after he acknowledged Leo's independence.New conflicts emerged after Bohemond's eldest son, Raymond, died in 1197. Raymond's widow, who was Leo's niece, gave birth to a posthumous son, Raymond-Roupen, but Bohemond's younger son, Bohemond of Tripoli, wanted to secure his succession in Antioch with the assistance of the commune. The elderly Bohemond seems to have supported his son during his last years. The War of the Antiochene Succession began with Bohemond's death and lasted until 1219.Early lifeBohemond was the elder son of Princess Constance of Antioch and her first husband, Raymond of Poitiers. He was born around 1148. Prince Raymond died fighting against Nur ad-Din, atabeg of Aleppo, in the Battle of Inab on 29 June 1149.Neither Baldwin III of Jerusalem nor the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos could persuade the widowed Constance to take a new husband. Finally, she chose Raynald of Châtillon, a French knight who had recently settled in Syria. Raynald ruled the principality as Constance's husband from 1153 until he was captured by Majd al-Din, governor of Aleppo, in late November 1160 or 1161.Urged by the Antiochene noblemen, Baldwin III proclaimed Bohemond the rightful ruler, charging Aimery of Limoges, Latin Patriarch of Antioch, with the administration of the principality during Bohemond's minority. However, Constance appealed to Manuel Komnenos, who confirmed her position as the sole ruler of Antioch. Constance wanted to retain power even after Bohemond reached the age of majority. However, the Antiochene noblemen rebelled against her with the assistance of Thoros II, Lord of Armenian Cilicia, forcing her to leave Antioch in February 1163.Prince of AntiochFirst yearsBohemond was installed as prince after his mother was dethroned. Nur ad-Din laid siege to Krak des Chevaliers in the County of Tripoli in September 1163. Raymond III of Tripoli appealed to Bohemond for assistance. Bohemond and Constantine Kalamanos, Byzantine governor of Cilicia, hurried to the castle. The united Christian armies defeated the besiegers in the Battle of al-Buqaia.Amalric of Jerusalem entrusted the government of the Kingdom of Jerusalem to Bohemond before departing for his campaign against Egypt in July 1164. Taking advantage of Bohemond's absence, Nur ad-Din attacked the fortress at Harenc in the Principality of Antioch (present-day Harem, Syria). Bohemond, Raymond III of Tripoli, Thoros II of Armenian Cilicia, and Constantine Kalamanos joined their forces and marched to Harenc, compelling Nur ad-Din to retreat.Reynald of Saint-Valery, Lord of Harenc, tried to convince Bohemond not to pursue the enemy, but Bohemond did not follow his advice. The armies clashed at the battle of Harim on 10 August 1164. Nur ad-Din almost annihilated the Christian

He is also the author of Anthropology (2000), a collection of 101 stories, each consisting ofexactly 101 words. In 2010 he was awarded the E. M. Forster Award.BiographyRhodes grew up in Devon,and graduated in Humanities from the University of Glamorgan (now the University of South Wales) in1994, returning in 1997 to complete an MA in Creative Writing. Don't Tell Me the Truth About Love waswritten at this time. He has held a variety of jobs, including stockroom assistant for Waterstone's,barman in his parents' pub, and a teacher in Ho Chi Minh City. He has also worked on a fruit andvegetable farm and is still employed as a postman.Following the publication of his second book, Rhodes'sfrustration with the publishing industry led him to announce his retirement from writing, though he latersaid, "I haven't really given up. I'm certainly not making any more grand pronouncements. I was just sickof the business and wanted out. Not just the publishers; everyone around me."Rhodes was included onGranta's Best of Young British Novelists list in 2003, to his own bemusement and frustration, partlybecause of Granta's selection methods ("It's one thing to judge a writer by stuff they've written, but tojudge them on stuff they're going to write is lunacy") but also because some of the others on the listfailed to respond to his request to sign a joint statement protesting the Iraq War.In 2014, Rhodesself-published the novel When the Professor Got Stuck in the Snow, a "rural farce" about a visit to anobscure English village by a fictional Richard Dawkins, stating that he wanted to get the book out fasterthan conventional publishing allowed.

Rhodes appealed repeatedly toDawkins, a defender of satire and free speech, for permission to "publish and be damned" but received noresponse. The novel was republished by Aardvark Bureau in October 2015.In 2021, Lightning Bookspublished his novel Sour Grapes, a satire on the literary world set at a rural book festival.Rhodes ismarried with two children.BibliographyCollectionsAnthropology: And a Hundred Other Stories (2000)ISBN 1-84195-614-7Don't Tell Me the Truth About Love (2001) ISBN 1-84195-613-9Marry Me (2013)ISBN 0-85786-849-7NovelsTimoleon Vieta Come Home (2003) ISBN 1-84195-481-0The Little White Car(under the pen name Danuta de Rhodes) (2004) ISBN 1-84195-528-0Gold (2007) ISBN978-1-84195-953-5Little Hands Clapping (2010) ISBN 1-84767-529-8This Is Life (2012) ISBN0-85786-245-6When the Professor Got Stuck in the Snow (2014, self-published limited edition; 2015formal publication by Aardvark Bureau) ISBN 9781910709016Sour Grapes (2021) ISBN9781785632921Passage 3:Prairie ThunderPrairie Thunder is a 1937 American Western film directed by B.Reeves Eason and written by Ed Earl Repp. The film stars Dick Foran, Janet Shaw, Frank Orth, WilfredLucas, Albert J.

Passage 1:Gaius Julius AquilaGaius Julius Aquila was the name of a number of people who lived during the Roman Empire.Prefect of EgyptGaius Julius Aquila was a praefectus of Roman Egypt between 10 CE and 11.Governor of Bythinia et PontusGaius Julius Aquila was a Roman knight, stationed with a few cohorts, in 45 CE, to protect Tiberius Julius Cotys I, king of the Bosporan Kingdom, who had received the sovereignty after the expulsion of Tiberius Julius Mithridates. In the same year, Aquila obtained the praetorian insignia. He also erected a monument honouring the emperor Claudius in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) known as the Kuşkayası Monument.Passage 2:Maximus of TyreMaximus of Tyre (Greek: Μάξιμος Τύριος; fl. late 2nd century AD), also known as Cassius Maximus Tyrius, was a Greek rhetorician and philosopher who lived in the time of the Antonines and Commodus, and who belongs to the trend of the Second Sophistic.  His writings contain many allusions to the history of Greece, while there is little reference to Rome; hence it is inferred that he lived longer in Greece, perhaps as a professor at Athens. Although nominally a Platonist, he is really a sophist rather than a philosopher, although he is still considered one of the precursors of Neoplatonism.WritingsThe DissertationsThere exist 41 essays or discourses on theological, ethical, and other philosophical subjects, collected into a work called The Dissertations. The central theme is God as the supreme being, one and indivisible though called by many names, accessible to reason alone:In such a mighty contest, sedition and discord, you will see one according law and assertion in all the earth, that there is one God, the king and father of all things, and many gods, sons of God, ruling together with him.As animals form the intermediate stage between plants and human beings, so there exist intermediaries between God and man, viz. daemons, who dwell on the confines of heaven and earth. The soul in many ways bears a great resemblance to the divinity; it is partly mortal, partly immortal, and, when freed from the fetters of the body, becomes a daemon. Life is the sleep of the soul, from which it awakes at death. The style of Maximus is superior to that of the ordinary sophistical rhetorician, but scholars differ widely as to the merits of the essays themselves.Dissertation XX discusses "Whether the Life of a Cynic is to Be Preferred". He begins with a narrative of how Prometheus created mankind, who initially lived a life of ease "for the earth supplied them with aliment, rich meadows, long-haired mountains, and abundance of fruits" – in other words, a Garden of Eden that resonates with Cynic ideas. It was "a life without war, without iron, without a guard, peaceful, healthful unindigent".Then, taking perhaps from Lucretius, he contrasts that Garden to mankind's "second life", which started with the division of the earth into property, which they then enclosed into fortifications and walls, and started to wear jewellery and gold, built houses, “molested the earth by digging into it for metals”, and invaded the sea and the air (killing animals, fish and birds), in what he described as a “slaughter and all-various gore, pursuing gratification of the body”. Humans became unhappy and, to compensate, sought wealth, “fearing poverty...dreading death...neglecting the care of life...They blamed base actions but did not abstain from them and “the hated to live, but dreaded to die”.He then contrasts the two lives – that of the original Garden and of the “second life” he has just described and asks, which man would not choose the first, who “knows that by the change he shall be liberated from a multitude of evils” and what he calls “a dreadful prison of unhappy men, confined to a dreadful prison of unhappy men, confined in a dark recess, with large iron fetters round their feet, a great weight about their neck…passing their time in filth, in torment, and in weeping”. He asks, “Which of these images shall we proclaim blessed”? He goes on to praise Diogenes of Sinopeus, the Cynic, for choosing his ascetic life, but only because he avoided the often fearful fates of other philosophers – such as Socrates being condemned. But there is no mention of he himself taking up the ascetic life himself; rather he only talks about how the Garden would be preferable to the life mankind has made for itself. So it is unlikely he was a Cynic, but was just envious of that idealised pre-civilisation Life in the Garden.Maximus of Tyre must be distinguished from the Stoic Claudius Maximus, tutor of Marcus Aurelius.Ancient Greek TextMaximus Tyrius, Philosophumena, Dialexeis - Edited by George Leonidas Koniaris, Publisher Walter de Gruyter, 1995, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110882568 - this critical edition presents the Ancient Greek text of Maximus of Tyre.TranslationsTaylor, Thomas, The Dissertations of Maximus Tyrius.

Passage 1:Anne Elizabeth RectorAnne Elizabeth Rector (June 26, 1899 – February 17, 1970) was anAmerican artist.Rector was the daughter of Enoch J. Rector and she attended the Art Students League ofNew York studying under John French Sloan. Ann also studied landscape painting under Andrew Dasburg.She married Edmund Duffy and they moved to New York City in 1948, when her husband began work forthe Saturday Evening Post. She later headed Rector Studios that manufactured glass top tables. Herdaughter married Ivan Chermayeff, the son of Serge Ivan Chermayeff.Rector's childhood diaries werepublished in 2004. They had been found many years after Rector's death and described her life for theyear of 1912.Passage 2:Edmund DuffyEdmund Duffy (March 1, 1899 – September 12, 1962), was anAmerican editorial cartoonist.  He grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, eventually moving to metropolitanareas. Duffy did not attend high school, but instead went into the Art Students League of New York.Duffy's career took him to London, Paris, New York, and finally to Baltimore, where he spent the majorityof his professional career working for The Baltimore Sun.Duffy won three Pulitzer Prizes for EditorialCartooning in 1931, 1934, and 1940. Duffy began working for the Baltimore Sun in 1924, when he wasonly about 25 years old, and he received high praise from the famous journalist H.L. Mencken.JournalismcareerDuffy first came into the journalism field with his submission of a page of sketches for ArmisticeDay. The sketches were put into the New York Tribune in the Sunday section. Duffy worked on a varietyof assignments in order to save up money, then launching his European career. He moved to London andworked for the London Evening News. Duffy worked in Paris for a few years, and he finally returned to theUnited States in 1922. He worked for two years with both the New York Leader and the BrooklynEagle.The longest period of his career began in 1924 when he began working for The Baltimore Sun.Duffy worked there until 1948, in order to work a less tiring job, working for the Saturday EveningPost.  Duffy drew numerous noteworthy cartoons, approaching major issues and incidents, such aslynching and the Ku Klux Klan, but also the famous Monkey Scopes Trial of 1925.Denouncing racismthrough artDuffy was known for his daring nature in relation to his work. H.L. Mencken saw promise in hiswork and “Duffy with his sometimes savage artwork, did the kind of thing that delighted Mencken, wholoved nothing more than to ‘stir up the animals’”. Duffy was not afraid to please Mencken, and heldnothing back  He was one of the few people of his time that would boldly approach the topic ofracism.  He blatantly condemned lynching and the actions of the KKK.  This was one of his main issuesthat he approached during his career.  During the time period that Duffy worked it was not popular toadvocate against racism, so Duffy was civil rights before it was a wide movement in the United States.S.L. Harrison, a late professor of Communication at the University of Miami, wrote that Duffy “displayeduncommon vigor in attacking the Ku Klux Klan”.Scopes TrialJust a year after Duffy began working for TheBaltimore Sun, 1925, a famous trial began in Tennessee.  Tennessee had passed a law, the Butler Act,barring teachers against the topic of evolution in the classroom, but one biology teacher, John T. Scopes,ignored the law and taught his students evolution.  Scopes decided that the students should learnevolution, even if it went against the teachings of the bible.  Since the trial was popular and a nationwidetopic, Mencken took a staff from The Sun, including Duffy, to cover the trial.  “[Edmund Duffy’s] graphicartwork played a significant role in the public’s perception of the trial proceedings reported in the pagesof The Sun, then one of America’s most influential newspapers”.  His cartoons brought more attention tothe issue, as he derided Tennessee for crushing knowledge in one of his more notable cartoons from thetrial called ‘A Closed Book in Tennessee.’ In this cartoon, Duffy shows a man, representing Tennessee,holding a sign that says “Fundamentalists Only Wanted as Teachers.”  The man is standing on top of thebook of knowledge, holding it shut.  Duffy knew that this powerful cartoon would cause a great response,but that is exactly what Mencken wanted and expected from him.  Many more of his cartoons from thetrial held the same message, in which he was publicly shaming Tennessee for the law, the trial, and theverdict.  Mencken once said that with a good cartoonist he would not need a whole editorial staff, and agreat cartoonist he found in Duffy.Pulitzer PrizesOver Edmund Duffy's career, he won three PulitzerPrizes, which is a lot compared to other recipients over the years.  His three prize winning cartoons are

He competed in the men's tournament at the 1968 Summer Olympics.Passage2:Stoney CaseStoney Jarrod Case (born July 7, 1972) is a former quarterback for three teams in theNational Football League (NFL) and three teams in the Arena Football League (AFL).High school andcollegeCase played high school football for the Odessa Permian Panthers, quarterbacking the team to anundefeated, 16–0 season and the Texas 5A football title in 1989, one year after the events chronicled inthe Friday Night Lights book and movie. The Panthers were voted ESPN's National Champion team as aresult. During his Permian career, Case also lettered in baseball as an outfielder, first baseman andpitcher. His brother Stormy Case also played quarterback for the Panthers and went on to play for TexasA&M.Recruited to play college football for the University of New Mexico, Case was a four-year starter forthe Lobos and was the first player in NCAA Division I-A (now FBS) history to post 9,000 career passingyards and 1,000 career rushing yards. In the course of his college career he threw or ran for 98touchdowns, which at the time of his graduation was second in I-A history to Ty Detmer.  In 1994, Casewas the WAC player of the year and led the NCAA with 33 total TD'S and 3,649 total yards.1991: Threwfor 1,564 yards with 10 TD vs 6 INT with 2 rushing TD's.1992: Threw for 2,289 yards with 18 TD vs 13INT with 4 rushing TD's.1993: Threw for 2,490 yards with 17 TD vs 8 INT with 14 rushing TD's.1994:Threw for 3,117 yards with 22 TD vs 12 INT on 409 pass attempts with 11 rushing TD's.ProfessionalcareerNFLCase was a third round pick in the 1995 NFL Draft and played quarterback for Arizona Cardinalsfrom 1995 to 1998, though he spent part of that time with the Barcelona Dragons in the NFL Europe. Hewas signed as a free agent by both the Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens in 1999, and went tothe Detroit Lions as an unrestricted free agent in 2000.Case saw limited action during his NFL career. Heplayed in two games during his rookie season, but saw no action in either 1996 or 1998. He played twicein 1997 as a replacement for injured starter Kent Graham. He played in 10 games for the BaltimoreRavens in 1999, starting four games and winning two of them.

His worstcareer performance came in October 1999 when he appeared for the Ravens against the Kansas CityChiefs, completing only 15 of 37 passes for 103 yards. "The Chiefs", noted the Baltimore City Paper, "bycomparison, ran back his intercepted passes for 108 yards. Repeat: 103 yards forward, 108 yardsbackward.

Appearing in fivegames, Case passed for 503 yards, 1 touchdown, and 4 interceptions. His best game came on November30 in a game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Passage 1:Rotrou III, Count of PercheRotrou III (bef. 1080 – 8 May 1144), called the Great (le Grand),was the Count of Perche and Mortagne from 1099. He was the son of Geoffrey II, Count of Perche, andBeatrix de Ramerupt, daughter of Hilduin IV, Count of Montdidier. He was a notable Crusader and aparticipant in the Reconquista in eastern Spain, even ruling the city of Tudela in Navarre from 1123 to1131. He is commonly credited with introducing Arabian horses to the Perche, giving rise to thePercheron breed. By his creation of a monastery at La Trappe in memory of his wife, Matilda, daughter ofHenry I of England, in 1122 he also laid the foundations of the later Trappists.First CrusadeRotrou tookpart in the First Crusade, travelling with the army of the duke of Normandy, Robert Curthose. Whatinfluenced Rotrou in this regard were probably familial connexions. He was related to the Anglo-Normanaristocracy and the Perche was a march (border region) in southern Normandy. A sister was married toRaymond I of Turenne, who was a fellow Crusader in the following of Raymond IV of Toulouse. Hismother, Beatrix, was a sister of Ebles II of Roucy, who had campaigned in Spain in 1073, and Felicia, whomarried Sancho Ramírez, King of Aragon. A religious motivation cannot be discounted.According to theChanson d'Antioche, Rotrou was under the command of Bohemond of Taranto during the Siege ofAntioch, and was one of the first to go over the city's walls through scaling ladders on 3 June 1098. Whenthe Crusaders had to confront a Seljuk relief force two weeks later in open battle, Rotrou was one of thefront line commanders. He fulfilled his vow and made it all the way to Jerusalem. The Chanson alsomentions his bravery at the siege of Nicaea of 1097.In 1107, Rotrou built a castle on land held partlyallodially and partly in lordship by Hugh II of Le Puiset, thus challenging Hugh's rights to the estate. SincePope Urban II had taken Crusaders' "houses, families, and all their goods into the protection of SaintPeter and the Roman church", and both Hugh and Rotrou were veterans of the First Crusade, the disputewas intractable. Bishop and lawyer Ivo of Chartres could not resolve it, since it involved a judicial duel,over which the church was not allowed to preside, and so remitted it to the court of the County of Blois.There Hugh lost, but in the violence that followed his tenant, who held the land from him as a fief, wascaptured by Rotrou's men. The reigning pope, Paschal II, who was in Chartres in April, sent the case backto Ivo, who complained in a letter that since "this law of the Church protecting the goods of knights goingto Jerusalem was new. . . they did not know whether the protection applied only to their properties oralso applied to their fortifications." Rotrou denied that the case had anything to do with the novel canonlaw.Norman politicsDuring Rotrou's absence his father, Geoffrey of Mortagne, died in 1099. On the firstSunday after returning to France, Rotrou paid a visit to the monastery of Nogent-le-Rotrou, a foundationof his family's and the location of his father tomb. There he asked to become a confrater (brother) of theAbbey of Cluny, Nogent's mother house, and to show his sincerity and prove the fulfillment of hisCrusading vow he placed a charter confirming his predecessors' donations to the abbey and the palmfrond brought back from Jerusalem on the altar.Rotrou's position in the Duchy of Normandy was that ofdefender of the frontier with the Île-de-France. His position was probably enhanced by his participation inthe First Crusade. Whereas his father had only held the title of viscount, Rotrou is usually called a count.In the war between Henry I of England and Robert Curthose, Rotrou sided with the former and was animportant figure in Henry's administration of the duchy after the capture of Robert at Tinchebrai in 1106.Rotrou was a direct vassal of Henry in England, where he held fiefs jure uxoris, in right of his wife, theking's daughter Matilda. He was not often in England, but is purported to have been close to hiswife.ReconquistaEarly participationRotrou's actual first participation in the Reconquista dates to the firstdecade of the twelfth century (possibly 1104–5). He and a group of Normans are said to have fought theMuslims in the service of Alfonso the Battler, then King of Aragon and Navarre, until the Aragoneseplotted against them and they returned home. It has been speculated that the Norman involvement inthe campaign originated as gossip designed to discredit Alfonso by Cluny, an ally of Alfonso's rival,Alfonso VI of Castile. More probably the Normans just accomplished too little to be noticed, or wereperhaps sent back home without encountering any Muslims because their services were not need at thetime, when Alfonso the Battler had an alliance with the taifa (faction-kingdom) of Zaragoza. Perhaps the

Once there, she warns Don José of Morgan's planned invasion, and the pirate ships are either easily sunk or routed by the alerted Spanish. Not giving up, Morgan leads his men overland and attacks the city from the rear. The maneuver succeeds, Panama falls to the pirates, and Doña Inez finally admits her love for Morgan.CastSteve Reeves as Sir Henry MorganValérie Lagrange as Doña InezIvo Garrani as Governor Don José GuzmánChelo Alonso as ConcepciónLydia Alfonsi as Doña MaríaArmand Mestral as François l'OlonnaisGiulio Bosetti as Sir Thomas ModyfordAngelo Zanolli as DavidGeorge Ardisson as WalterReleaseMorgan, the Pirate was released in Italy on 17 November 1960. It was released in the United States on 6 July 1961 with a 93-minute running time.ReceptionTurner Classic Movies' Jeff Stafford writes, "Largely due to de Toth's direction, Morgan the Pirate is a lively, fast-paced entertainment with moments of tongue-in-cheek humor that is several notches in quality above the usual turgid, Italian-made spectacle. The striking cinematography, filmed in garish Eastmancolor, is by the award-winning Tonino Delli Colli who has lensed such art house classics as Pasolini's The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964), Marco Bellocchio's China Is Near (1967), and Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). And the amusing, Ravel-inspired score by Franco Mannino strikes the perfect mock-epic tone. Among the more memorable set pieces are an exotic voodoo dance performed by Cuban sex bomb Chelo Alonso (a former dancer at the Folies Bergère in Paris), a battle at sea in which Morgan's men, disguised as women, storm a Spanish galleon in full drag, and the bloody, climactic sacking of Panama with shootings, stabbings and explosions galore."Passage 5:Prem Mhanje Prem Mhanje Prem AstaPrem Mhanje Prem Mhanje Prem Asta (Marathi:      ) is a Marathi drama film released on 19 April 2013.
