# Issachar Jacox Roberts

Issachar Jacox Roberts (Chinese: 罗孝全 Luó Xiàoquán; 1802–1871) was a Southern Baptist missionary in Qing China notable for being in direct contact with Hong Xiuquan and for denying him Christian baptism.

## Early life

Roberts was born in Sumner County, Tennessee, and graduated from Furman University, a Baptist school in Greenville, South Carolina.

## Significance

He was known for his erratic behaviour and "falling into difficulties with nearly everyone who worked with him", which cost him his connection with the Southern Baptist Convention. Roberts was the only Baptist known to have influenced Hong Xiuquan (洪秀全, Wade-Giles: Hung Hsiu-ch'üan), the Hakka who led the Taiping Rebellion (1851–1864) against the Qing Dynasty which caused millions of deaths. Hong spent two months studying with Roberts at Canton (Guangzhou) in 1847. Roberts refused Hong's request for baptism, perhaps due to a misunderstanding.
He was also the first Baptist missionary, arriving in Hong Kong in February 1842.

## With the Taiping

In 1860, Roberts left Canton for the Taiping capital at Nanjing. He was dismayed to find that the beliefs of the Taiping departed widely from his own Christianity, but nevertheless accepted a post as advisor to Hong Rengan, foreign minister at the Taiping court. While there, Roberts arranged for some Baptists from the United States to visit Nanjing and meet Hong directly. He left in January 1862, on board the British gunboat Renard, following a dispute with Hong, accusing Hong of the murder of Issachar's servant, and was thereafter fiercely critical of the Taiping.

## Death

Roberts died of leprosy (which he had contracted in Macao in 1837) at the home of his niece in Upper Alton, Madison County, Illinois on December 28, 1871.

# Nice 'n' Sleazy

"Nice 'n' Sleazy" is a single by The Stranglers from the 'white' side of their 1978 album, Black and White. It reached number 18 in the UK Singles Chart. The single's cover pictured a victim of the Boston Strangler.
Strippers embellished the song during the band's headline set at Battersea Park on 16 September 1978. "The Stranglers booked some strippers to up the show's visual aspect," recalled photographer Barry Plummer. "But some of the lads in the audience got a bit carried away and also stripped completely naked. Eventually the police were called and took down all of the young ladies' particulars."

## Cultural references

A punk festival named after the song is held annually in Morecambe, Lancashire.
A bar located on Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street is named after the song. It was first opened in 1991.

# Louisa Coppin

Louisa Coppin or Little Weesy (7 September 1845 – 27 May 1849) was a supposed Irish ghost.

## Biography

Louisa Coppin was born at Ivy House, 34 Strand Road, Derry on 7 September 1845. She was the third child of William Coppin and his wife Dora. She was known as "Little Weesy" to her family. She died on 27 May 1849 from gastric fever, and is alleged to have reappeared to her family 5 months later as "a ball of bluish light". Coppin is supposed to have prophesied the location of Sir John Franklin's 1845 polar expedition before its discovery, by writing on the wall: "Erebus and Terror, Sir John Franklin, Lancaster Sound, Prince Regent Inlet, Point Victory, Victoria Channel".
Coppin appeared to all of her family, with her father giving her advice to Lady Franklin in May 1850. The authorities were highly sceptical, but Lady Franklin took the information more seriously. The Derry Journal (29 March 1889) claimed that the admiralty was petitioned by 430 Liverpool merchants and bankers to search the area specified by Coppin. It was at this location, supposedly predicted by Coppin's ghost, that the 1859 expedition discovered remains from the expedition on King William Island.
The story of the ghost of Coppin was published later in J. Henry Skewes's Sir John Franklin: the true secret of the discovery of his fate (1889), a sensationalist and inaccurate account of the events around the discovery of Franklin's lost expedition. The captain of the rescue expedition, Francis McClintock, and relatives of Lady Franklin denied that the paranormal advice was used in their search. There is no evidence of correspondence or other material relating to the Coppins in Lady Franklin's papers, with some speculating that her relatives might have destroyed it after her death.
The story of "Little Weesy" was the subject of Liam Browne's novel The emigrant's farewell (2006).
It was also the subject of a children's novel Chasing Ghosts- An Arctic Adventure by Nicola Pierce (2020).

# Proterorhinus

Proterorhinus is a genus of fishes, known as the tubenose gobies. These gobiid fish are native to Eurasia where they occur in the region of the Caspian and Black seas, inhabiting marine, brackish and fresh waters. The species Proterorhinus semilunaris (previously referred to as P. marmoratus) was introduced to the St. Clair River in Michigan during the late 1990s. Until recently, the genus was considered monotypic, comprising only the tubenose goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus). Following molecular and further morphological investigations it has been split into several taxa, with distinct distributions in marine vs. fresh waters and in the Black Sea vs. Caspian Sea basins.

## Species

There are five recognized species in this genus:
* Proterorhinus marmoratus (Pallas, 1814) (tubenose goby)
* Proterorhinus nasalis (De Filippi, 1863) (eastern tubenose goby)
* Proterorhinus semilunaris (Heckel, 1837) (western tubenose goby)
* Proterorhinus semipellucidus (Kessler, 1863) (P. nasalis).
* Proterorhinus tataricus Freyhof & Naseka, 2007 (Chornaya tubenose goby)
# Nicolaes le Febure

# Meletios the Younger

Meletios the Younger (c. 1035 – c. 1105), also called Meletios of Myoupolis, was a Byzantine Greek monk, pilgrim and priest. He is venerated as a saint in Eastern Orthodoxy and his feast is celebrated on 1 September.

## Biography

Meletios was born in the Cappadocian village of Moutalaske, which was also the birthplace of Sabbas the Sanctified. At fifteen or sixteen years of age, he ran away from home to Constantinople, the capital of Byzantine Empire, where he became a monk. He lived there for three years, before setting out on a pilgrimage. He quickly halted his pilgrimage, however, to join the eukterion (oratory) of Saint George near Thebes. After ten years and aged about 28, he left Saint George on a series of pilgrimages that brought him to the Holy Land, Rome and possibly Santiago de Compostela. He stayed in the Holy Land for three years, visiting Jerusalem, Galilee and both sides of the river Jordan. He visited several monasteries, including that of Saint Sabbas, his compatriot. Upon his return to Greece, he settled on Mount Myoupolis and Patriarch Nicholas III of Constantinople consecrated him a priest. By around 1081 he had acquired the nearby monastery of the Symboulon, which came to be known as Hosios Meletios after him. There he introduced Palestinian monastic practices, including combining monks with anchorites in paralauria. In his later years, he received an annual donation of 422 hyperpyra from the Emperor Alexios I Komnenos. He died in his monastery around 1105 or 1110.
Two biographies of Meletios were written after 1141 by Nicholas of Methone and Theodore Prodromos. Although largely independent of one another, Theodore appears to have had access to Nicholas' account. They occasionally contradict each other, but are nonetheless valuable historical sources because of their emphasis on Meletios' interactions with the Byzantine elite. Of the two, Theodore's is the more worldly and entertaining, giving more space to Meletios' pilgrimages. He claims that Meletios left Thebes only after a noble Theban lady attempted to seduce him. He also records how a group of "Hagarenes" (Muslims) harassed the saint, who was rescued from his predicament by a Christian Arab. He is the only one to mention a pilgrimage to Compostela in Spain. Nicholas focuses more attention on Meletios' care for his monastic community, whom he protects from fire and whose gardens he defends from rabbits.

# Louie Heilbroner

Louis Wilbur Heilbroner (July 4, 1861 – December 21, 1933) was a professional baseball secretary and business manager who managed the St. Louis Cardinals during the 1900 season.
In the middle of the season, Patsy Tebeau resigned as the Cardinals' manager and team president Frank Robison publicly offered the job to third baseman John McGraw, who declined despite his boss' insistence. Robinson then gave the manager title to Heilbroner who was serving as his secretary and who had no particular baseball qualifications. By many accounts, the diminutive Heilbroner (4'9 or 1,44m) never imposed his authority and McGraw was the de facto manager of the team and this was candidly acknowledged by the team owners. After managing the last 50 games in 1900, Heilbroner was replaced by Patsy Donovan at the start of 1901. During his short stint as manager, Heilbroner led the Cardinals to 23 wins, 25 losses and 2 ties. He remained with the team as a business manager until 1908 and later served a two-year term (1912–1914) as president of the Central League.
Heilbroner was also a pioneer in baseball statistics. In 1909, he founded Heilbroner's Baseball Bureau Service, the first commercial statistical bureau dedicated to baseball, and began publishing the Baseball Blue Book.
He died on December 21, 1933, in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

# Chicanery (band)

Chicanery is an American experimental rock band consisting of Warren Cuccurullo and Neil Carlill. Based in Venice, California, with various members from across the United States and around the world, the focus of the project is to present an alternative musical form that is a psychotic and surreal vision of pop music.

## History

The history of Chicanery extends back to the late 1990s in London, England. With Duran Duran at that time, Cuccurullo had founded TV Mania with Nick Rhodes, and he was searching for a lead singer for the second segment of that project. While working in his recording studio, Cuccurullo heard the voice of Neil Carlill, lead singer of the group Delicatessen on one of that band's music videos, and thought that it would fit the project. Cuccurullo found Carlill through the group's record label, and invited him to record some music at the studio. Prior to that meeting, Ustad Sultan Khan and Cuccurullo recorded material together in the summer of 1998, some of which was used for "Cut Me from the Mirror", a track on the Chicanery album.
When Cuccurullo relocated back to Los Angeles after his tenure with Duran Duran ended in 2001, he lost touch with Carlill for a period of time. After they reestablished contact, Carlill sent demos of his latest music to Cuccurullo. Four of those tracks were used on the Chicanery album. In 2005 the bulk of the tracks for the debut album were cut in Los Angeles at Red Rum Studios, and some of the music was recorded in Massachusetts. Often, tracks would be recorded at home studios, sent to Simone Sello, and then on to the larger studios for recording and mixing to create the finished product. The album was released on May 11, 2010 through dPulse Recordings.
Also with Cuccurullo and Carlill on selected sessions are long-time Cuccurullo collaborator Terry Bozzio, Frank Zappa alumnus Joe Travers, and various other guests.
