# Ventura Benassai

Ventura Benassai (died 1511) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Massa Marittima (1501–1511).

## Biography

Ventura Benassai was a native of Siena. He had a brother, Latino Benassai. His sister Margherita had been married to Luzio Bellanti.
Benassai began his career at the Papal Court as an agent for the Sienese banking firm of Spannocchi. He purchased the office of Cleric of the Apostolic Chamber for 5,600 ducats. By 5 July 1499, he was also scriptor apostolicarum litterarum.
On 6 October 1501, Ventura Benassai was appointed Bishop of Massa Marittima by Pope Alexander VI. Giovanni Burchard, the papal Master of Ceremonies, noted that he had paid Pope Alexander 7,000 ducats for the diocese. He enjoyed the post of Bishop of Massa Marittima until his death in 1511.
He was a regular member of the papal suite. He traveled with Pope Alexander in his trip to Cerveteri, Corneto, and Piombino in February 1502. On 13 September 1502, Benassai was in Camerino as part of the suite of Cardinal Francesco Borgia, who had been sent to put into operation Alexander VI's bull granting Camerino to his son, Juan Borgia, and elevating the territory to the status of a duchy.
On 2 June 1503 he was named Treasurer General of the Holy Roman Church, the third highest office in the Apostolic Camera, by Alexander VI.
Pope Alexander VI died on 18 August 1503. During the laying-in-state, according to Giovanni Burchard, the Bishop of Massa engaged in minor theft of some of the ornaments. During the Sede vacante following the death of the Pope, the College of Cardinals elected Ventura Benassai to be the Sacristan. He held the office less than a year, being forced to resign by Pope Julius II.
In the spring of 1504, Benassai found himself in trouble. He was accused of having forged a breve of Pope Pius III. He was imprisoned until 5 November, and then only released when he resigned all of his offices. Julius II imposed a fine of 8,000 ducats on him. The Master of Ceremonies, Burchard, remarks that there were a number of other frauds which were unknown to him at the time.
On 1 June 1511, Ventura was at Pavia, having recently spent a day in Milan. He wrote to Aldo Pio Manutio in Rome, mentioning their mutual Milanese friend, Giacomo Antiquario.
He died in Massa, in 1511.

# Mark de Vos

Mark de Vos is Professor of Linguistics at Rhodes University. His primary research interests are in the area of Minimalist Syntactic Theory, specifically in areas of pseudo-coordination and agreement as well as Linguistic approaches to the Psycholinguistics of early reading in indigenous languages of South Africa.

## Education

Mark de Vos graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism Degree from Rhodes University (1996) after which he pursued his MPhil degree at the University of Tromsø. His masters thesis was entitled Afrikaans verb clusters. A functional-head Analysis and explores the hierarchy of functional heads between the IP and vP in Afrikaans.
He was supervised by Prof. Tarald Taraldsen. His Ph.D. studies (2005) were completed at Leiden University under the supervision of Prof. Johan Rooryck and Prof. Sjef Barbiers [NL]. His PhD thesis was titled The Syntax of Pseudocoordination in English and Afrikaans
In this Ph.D. thesis, he argues that English verbal pseudo-coordinative constructions are true coordinations at the level of the syntactic head. He then goes on to apply the same analysis to Afrikaans verbal pseudo-coordinative structures although the data play out in different ways owing to parametric variation in the languages concerned (e.g. verb second and Quirky Verb Second).

## Career and research

A body of his academic work explores the linearization of functional dependencies in Language. Broadly couched within the Minimalist Program, he develops the idea that phrase structure markers are partially ordered sets which, for reasons of computational parsimony and data structure need to be structured and ordered in a process known as Normalization. From these assumptions a range of core properties of Narrow Syntax can be deduced including a pathway to the evolution of Language in the species as a consequence of development of the lexicon.
Mark de Vos also explores the consequences of using Linguistic Functional Dependencies as inputs for Linearization as an alternative to Richard Kayne's Linear Correspondence Axiom. Whereas Kayne uses C-command relations as the input to Linearization, De Vos uses syntactic Functional Dependencies as the input where: If A functionally determines B then A precedes B. The nett effect of this is that selectors are spelled out as preceding dependents and categories with interpretable features are spelled out preceding categories with the uninterpretable counterparts. From this can be derived a number of properties of natural language syntax including the Head Movement Constraint.
Mark de Vos has also argued that linguists have an important role to play in explaining how early literacy develops, especially with respect to indigenous languages of South Africa. He argues that there is no single, simple path to reading literacy but that literacy acquisition is interdependent with orthography and the linguistic, morpho-syntactic and phonological properties of a language.
He is a member of the editorial board of Literator and was Chairperson of the Linguistics Society of Southern Africa (2014–2018). He was co-chair of the Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Society (2018-2020).

# The Western Heritage

The Western Heritage is an American history textbook used for the study of Western civilization and European history. It was published in 1979, and has gone through twelve editions. It was written by Donald Kagan, Steven Ozment, and Frank M. Turner. It soon became a "standard survey text" and is published in two volumes. Contributor Gregory F. Viggiano joined the authorship team during the preparation of the twelfth edition.
Considered conservative and old-fashioned when it was published (though with scholarship "entirely up to date"), reviewers chided it for ignoring the Byzantines and Ottomans as well as giving short shrift to Russia and Poland. Others indicated lack of attention to the role of the Islamic states and ignorance of Islamic sources. One reviewer included it among Western Civilization textbooks which "could be plausibly described as consistently following something close to a biblical-literalist line" on the history of Ancient Israel.
F.J. Nothling described the 2nd edition as "altogether a useful textbook for those who want a survey of the entire field." On the H-W-Civ network, David K. McQuilkin, reviewing a 1996 combined edition of the text, said, "The Western Heritage is a text that can be used by virtually any first-year college student. It is clear, concise functional, and adequately supported with recent historical scholarship. Moreover, the text achieves exactly what the authors intend it to achieve--that is, a succinct and balanced overview of Western culture and civilization suited to those whose knowledge of the subject is limited. Given this success, The Western Heritage has a definite place among current Western civilization textbooks, for it is compatible with a broad range of divergent teaching approaches and methodologies."
# The Watchful Gods and Other Stories

The Watchful Gods and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Walter Van Tilburg Clark published in 1950. It brings together eight stories and one novella (the title story). Three of the stories had already appeared in the annual anthology of O. Henry Award-winning stories, most notably "The Wind and the Snow of Winter" which was selected by that anthology, in 1945, as their "first-place winner." Since this book's publication, two other stories have remained notable: "The Portable Phonograph" and "Hook" have both been widely anthologized since they were published.
This is the only short story collection that Clark ever published. Along with a few of these stories, Clark is best known for his first novel, the classic Western The Ox-Bow Incident, which was published in 1940.

## Contents

The stories in the book appear in the following sequence:
* "Hook"
* "The Wind and the Snow of Winter"
* "The Rapids"
* "The Anonymous"
* "The Buck in the Hills"*
* "Why Don't You Look Where You're Going?"*
* "The Indian Well"
* "The Fish Who Could Close His Eyes"
* "The Portable Phonograph"
* "The Watchful Gods"

## Background

* Of the nine stories in this volume, "Hook" first appeared in The Atlantic Monthly; "The Wind and the Snow of Winter" and "The Portable Photograph" in The Yale Review; "The Rapids", "Why Don't You Look Where You're Going?", and "The Indian Well" in Accent; "The Anonymous" in The Virginia Quarterly Review; "The Buck in the Hills" in The Rocky Mountain Review; "The Fish Who Could Close His Eyes" in Tomorrow. The novella, "The Watchful Gods" is published here for the first time.
* Clark dedicated this book: for A.E. Hill.

## Reception

After they began appearing in national magazines during the 1940s, Clark's short stories gained national recognition, and earned five O. Henry Prize's between 1941 and 1945. These were:
* "Hook" in 1941.
* "The Portable Photograph" in 1942. Note that this story was published 3 years before the first atomic bomb was dropped. It’s often speculated that the plot of this story occurs after a nuclear war.
* "The Return of Ariel Goodbody" in 1943. Note that this story was not republished in The Watchful Gods and it remains uncollected.
* “The Buck in the Hills” in 1944.
* "The Wind And The Snow Of Winter" in 1945, and was the O. Henry anthology "first prize winner" for that year.
Since this initial success, some of these stories, notably "Hook" and "The Wind And The Snow Of Winter," have consistently been anthologized as classic examples of the genre. "The Portable Phonograph" has also received steady attention in the years since it was first published.

# Rixton Clay Pits

Rixton Clay Pits (also known as Rixton Claypits) is a former clay extraction site in Rixton, near Hollins Green, Warrington, England. Formerly farmland, boulder clay extraction started in the 1920s for brick making in the adjacent brickworks and ceased in 1965 – since then it has been allowed to return to nature. It is now an area of ponds, scrub, woodland and damp grassland. It is owned and managed by Warrington Borough Council as a local amenity.
Two large sections of Rixton Clay Pits, 15 hectares (37 acres) in total, are a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a designated Special Area of Conservation, on account of its calcareous grassland communities and because it supports the largest breeding population of Great Crested Newts in Cheshire. The whole was established as a local nature reserve in 1996, and has waymarked paths and a visitor centre.
Fishing is permitted on the lake between the two sections of SSSI, and is controlled by the Warrington Anglers Association, the main stock being tench, bream and roach. Carp and pike are also present.
