# Eordaea

Eordaea (also spelled Eordaia or Eordia, Greek: Ἐορδαία) was a geographical region of upper Macedonia and later an administrative region of the kingdom of Macedon. Eordaea was located south of Lynkestis, west of Emathia, north of Elimiotis and east of Orestis.
Eordaea stretched in the basin of Eordaia, the current homonymous municipality in Greece, which is named after the ancient region, and also in the southern part of the municipality of Amyntaio and the western part of the municipality of Edessa.
The capital of Eordaea was the city of Eordaea (el) (Greek: Εορδαία, κείμενη της λίμνης), which was mentioned by many historians and geographers of antiquity.

## Name

The name Eordaea is of proto-Greek origin and related to the Mycenaean word "Ϝορδία" meaning "rich land". The name refers to the fact that Eordaea was a region rich in roses, as noted by Herodotus (8.138).

## History

The history of Eordaea stretches long before 2000 BCE when the first Greeks, known as the Mycenean Greeks, began to inhabit this area. Remnants of exploited copper mines from 2700 up until 1200 BCE strongly indicate that the Greeks inhabited Eordaea for many years. Iron mines have also been exploited in the Eordean region.

## Recent discoveries

Within a 50-year period, paleontologists and archaeologists have made many discoveries due to the industrial development of the Eordean countryside. In particular, the skeletal fossils of a prehistoric mammoth, a prehistoric elephant, and Stone Age tools have all been found within the province of Eordaea. These finds add to knowledge on the variety of animal species and human artifacts from the region of Western Macedonia. In addition, two ancient Macedonian tombs have been excavated within Eordaia. The first was located in a rural area of the village of Spilia, while the second was located in the village of Pyrgoi.

## Towns

Many ancient towns of Eordaea are mentioned and many archaeological sites have been examined on the past decades, certainly around the Vegoritida lake, but it is difficult to distinguish their names.
The most significant towns, according to Ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine Greek writers, were:
* Eordaea (city) (Greek: Ἐορδαία)
* Arnissa (Greek: Άρνισσα)
* Vegora (el) (Greek: Βεγόρα)
* Kella (Greek: Κέλλα)

## Notable people

* Ptolemy I Soter. He is the most known notable person of ancient Eordaea. He was a distinguished General of Alexander the Great. After the death of Alexander the Great, Ptolemy became Pharaoh of Egypt and founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty which ruled Egypt until 30BC.
* Lagus. Father of Ptolemy I Soter
* Peithon. Satrap of Alexander the Great
* Aristonous. Bodyguard of Alexander the Great

## Life and career

Gomi was born in the Namba neighborhood of Osaka. His parents died when he was still a small child, and he was raised by his grandparents, who had a thriving business running local theaters and cinemas. He dropped out of a preparatory school for Waseda University, but when faced with danger of conscription in 1942, quickly enrolled into the Literature Department of Meiji University. However, in 1943, all university students were conscripted into the Imperial Japanese Army and Gomi was sent to the China front, and was based at Nanjing until the end of the war. During World War II, he met author Yasuda Yojuro [ja], who encouraged him to pursue his interest in history and historical fiction with a career as a writer.
After the end of the war, Gomi completed his education at Meiji University, and began writing popular fiction with swordsmen of the Edo period as his protagonists. In particular, he wrote many stories using the historical Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi as his hero. He also created a character named Aoi Shingo, a fictional illegitimate son of shōgun Tokugawa Yoshimune, who travels around Japan in disguise, righting wrongs done by the government.
Gomi lived in Mitaka, Tokyo from 1947, where famed sumo wrestler Minanogawa Tōzō was a neighbor. He moved to Kobe in 1950, where he was subsequently hospitalized for an overdose of illegal stimulants. He returned to Tokyo in 1952. Gomi won the 28th Akutagawa Prize in 1953.
His novel, The Secret Scrolls, was made into a movie Yagyu Secret Scrolls starring Toshirō Mifune in 1958.
In addition to his career as a writer, Gomi was also a noted music critic of classical music, and also a reviewer and critic of audio systems. He was a man of wide-ranging hobbies, from mahjong to palmistry, and he left numerous monographs of his hobbies as well.
A car buff, Gomi was arrested for drunken driving in May 1961. On January 31, 1964, he was involved in a head-on collision with a truck while driving on Japan National Route 1 at Suzuka, Mie, which left him hospitalized with internal injuries. On July 24, 1965, while speeding through Nagoya, he ran over and killed a 60-year-old woman and her 6-year-old grandchild. He was given a light sentence (18 months in prison, five years probation) partly due to a petition signed by numerous authors including Kawabata Yasunari, Shiga Naoya and Mishima Yukio.
Gomi died of lung cancer in 1980 at the age of 58. His grave is at the temple of Kenchō-ji in Kamakura, Kanagawa.
# Mohammad Farooq Shah

Mohammad Farooq Shah commonly known as Mirwaiz Moluvi Mohammad Farooq was the Mirwaiz of his time in Kashmir—north of India— and chairman of All Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee, a coalition of disparate political parties in Jammu and Kashmir that sought resolution of the Kashmir conflict.
Shah was assassinated on 21 May 1990 by gunmen at his residence at Nageen, Srinagar. His funeral procession , witnessed the bloodshed (known as Hawal massacre) near the Islamia College of Science and Commerce, Srinagar, wherein 72 people, including four women, were killed; his body was dropped in the middle of the road. This roused public sentiment and gave leverage to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's political work in the valley.
Hizbul Mujahideen militant Mohammad Ayub Dar was convicted for the murder and Supreme Court of India upheld the conviction in 2010.
Jammu and Kashmir Police on 16 May 2023, claimed to have achieved a major breakthrough into the assassination case of Mirwaiz Molvi Muhammad Farooq by arresting two Hizb-ul-Mujahideen militants who were "evading arrest for over three decades".
In the press briefing, the police said the arrested militants also includes the one who had entered into the bedroom of late Mirwaiz and opened fire at him.

In 1875 he went to Isfahan, Tehran, Rasht and Najaf with Mirza Aqa Khan Kermani and Mirza Hassan Khan Tabrizi and emigrated to Istanbul and continued his activities there.
His acquaintance with Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghānī led them to political and social activities, and they worked with Mirza Hassan Khan Tabrizi to promote freedom-seeking ideas in their works. Letters sent by Mirza Aqa Khan Kermani and Sheikh Ahmad Rouhi, to Sheikh Hadi Najmabadi in Iran were sometimes so sensitive that, if discovered, the correspondents would be killed. After the assassination of Naser al-Din Shah, the Ottomans extradited Ahmad Rouhi, Mirza Hassan Khan, and Mirza Aga Khan, who had been imprisoned in Trabzon, to Iran. On July 17, 1896, Crown Prince Mohammad Ali Mirza beheaded them in the northern garden of Tabriz on charges of being Bábist and sent their heads full of straw to Tehran.

In Najaf, Sheikh Ahmad wrote his famous book, Hasht Behesht (The Eight Heavens). Hasht Behesht is one of the reference books on the beliefs of Bábism and a critical book on Baháʼí Faith and Baháʼu'lláh. Also in this book, Sheikh Ahmad Rouhi sees the Constitutional Revolution as the downfall for the Qajar dynasty.
Sheikh Ahmad Rouhi named the book based on the poem Hasht-Bihisht written by Amir Khusrau and praised him in one of the chapters of the book.
Most copies of Hasht Behesht were destroyed by Shia Islam fanatics in Iran, and Sheikh Ahmad Rouhi's family was persecuted for this book. But a copy was brought to Britain by the historian and orientalist Edward Grenville Brown.

# Voltigeur-class destroyer

The Voltigeur class was a pair of destroyers built for the French Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. Both ships survived the First World War and were scrapped afterwards.

## Design and description

The Voltigeur class was based on the preceding Spahi-class destroyer, albeit with a different arrangement of propulsion machinery. They had a length between perpendiculars of 63–65.5 meters (206 ft 8 in – 214 ft 11 in), a beam of 6.4–6.8 meters (21 ft 0 in – 22 ft 4 in), and a draft of 2.9–3.1 meters (9 ft 6 in – 10 ft 2 in). Designed to displaced 450 metric tons (443 long tons), the ships displaced 590 t (581 long tons) at deep load.
The destroyers were powered by one triple-expansion steam engines and two direct-drive steam turbine. The steam engines drove the center propeller shaft while the turbine powered the two outer shafts, all using steam provided by four water-tube boilers of two different types. The engines were designed to produce 7,500 indicated horsepower (5,600 kW) which was intended to give the ships a speed of 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph). The ships carried 118 t (116 long tons) of coal which gave them a range of 1,520 nautical miles (2,820 km; 1,750 mi) at a cruising speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph).
The primary armament of the Voltigeur-class ships consisted of six 65-millimeter (2.6 in) Modèle 1902 guns in single mounts, one each fore and aft of the superstructure and the others were distributed amidships. They were also fitted with three 450-millimeter (17.7 in) torpedo tubes. One of these was in a fixed mount in the bow and the other two were on single rotating mounts amidships.

## Ships

* Voltigeur - built by Ateliers et Chantiers de Bretagne, Nantes, launched 23 March 1909, decommissioned May 1920.
* Tirailleur - built by Forges et Chantiers de la Gironde, Bordeaux, launched 27 November 1908, decommissioned July 1921.

# Henry Scagnoli

Henry A. Scagnoli (1922–2015) was an American government official who served as deputy mayor and fire commissioner during the administration of Boston Mayor John F. Collins.

## Early life

Scagnoli was born on May 6, 1922, in Jamaica Plain. He graduated from Jamaica Plain High School in 1939. During high school he took a typing and dictation class at the urging of his mother. As a result, he was assigned to an office job at a naval base in Newfoundland during World War II.

## Business career

After the war, Scagnoli worked for an insurance firm. In 1949 he married a co-worker, Mary Daly. He attended night classes at Northeastern University on the GI Bill and graduated with a degree in management in 1952. He eventually left the insurance business to become an executive with Waldo Brothers, a building supply business.

## Politics

In 1946, Scagnoli campaigned for a state representative candidate in Jamaica Plain. That candidate lost to John F. Collins. Scagnoli grew to admire Collins and when he ran for a seat in the Massachusetts Senate in 1950, Scagnoli managed his campaign. Scagnoli managed Collins' campaign in the 1959 Boston mayoral election, which saw Collins defeat Senate President John E. Powers in what was seen as one of the city's biggest political upsets.
On December 20, 1959, Mayor-elected Collins named Scagnoli to the position of fire commissioner. He was sworn in on January 4, 1960. At the age of 37, Scagnoli was the youngest person appointed to the position. As commissioner, Scagnoli led a "space heater research program", which cut space heater deaths from 15 in the winter of 1959–60 to 0 in 1960–61.
In 1961, Scagnoli became director of administrative services, a position also referred to as deputy mayor. In this role, Collins tasked Scagnoli with balancing the city's payroll and reducing the number of civil servants. From 1960 to 1966, the city eliminated 1450 positions, however these efforts were undermined somewhat by the school committee, which added 874.
In 1962, Scagnoli was a finalist for the position of Boston police commissioner, but Collins opted to appoint FBI agent Edmund McNamara instead. In July 1966, Scagnoli was appointed acting fire commissioner following the death of Thomas Griffin. He continued to serve a dual role as deputy mayor and fire commissioner until William J. Fitzgerald was sworn in on August 17. In October 1966, Scagnoli stepped down as deputy mayor for the lower paying position of deputy school construction engineer. He remained with the Boston Public Schools' planning and engineering department for over two decades.

## Later life

After Mary Scagnoli's health began to fail, the couple moved to an assisted living facility in West Roxbury. After her death in 2007, he remained at the facility, where, as one of the more active residents, he assisted other residents by driving them short distances. Scagnoli died on May 3, 2015, after falling ill with pneumonia.
# Wilson Boit Kipketer

Wilson Boit Kipketer (born 6 October 1973 in Kenya) is a middle and long distance athlete most widely known for running the 3000 m steeplechase. On 13 August 1997, at the Weltklasse Zürich, he set the world record in the steeplechase at 7:59.08, the third of three world records set in a 70-minute period of time. He was second individual after Moses Kiptanui to run under eight minutes. Boit Kipketer's record only stood for 11 days before it was crushed by Bernard Barmasai who took almost 3+1⁄2 seconds off the mark. A week earlier, Boit Kipketer led a Kenyan sweep of the same race in the 1997 World Championships, edging out Barmasai and then world record holder, three-time defending champion Kiptanui. He came back two years later to claim a silver medal in the 1999 World Championships and the following year in the 2000 Olympics.
He was born into a large family, one of twelve children.
In 2003, during an immigration clampdown by the Swedish authorities, Boit Kipketer was refused permission to run in Stockholm where the event organisers had lined him up as one of the main attractions, because he did not have the required visa.
He planned to debut in marathon at the Düsseldorf Marathon on 6 May 2007.
He is not related to Wilson Kipketer, the 800 m runner who represented Denmark and was also part of the three world records set in 70 minutes in Zurich. Both attended St. Patrick's High School at the same time.

## Politics

After his competitive career, Kipketer went into local politics as a member of the county assembly of the Kabiemit Ward.
