# Muhammad Hasan al-Najafi

Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Muhammad-Hasan al-Najafi (Arabic: محمد حسن النجفي, romanized: Muḥammad Ḥasan al-Najafī; 1785–1850), also known as Sahib al-Jawahir (Arabic: صاحب الجواهر), was a prominent Shiite religious authority and author. He was most known for his books of Jawahir al-Kalam Fi Sharh Shara'i' al-Islam, a 42-volume work on fiqh.

## Birth

Though the exact date of Muhammad Hasan's birth is unclear, Agha Bozorg Tehrani, a renowned Shi'ite scholar from Iran, puts it at around 1212 lunar Hijri (AD 1797). His father, Shaykh Muhammad Baqir Najafi, along with his wife and Shaykh Muhammad Hassan's mother, were the grandchildren of Shaykh Abu Al-Hassan Al-Futuni Al-Amili, who is from Jabal Amil, Lebanon. His family lineage includes numerous religious scholars and his brother, Muhammad Hossein, who was killed as a young man. Muhammad Hasan had eight sons, and several daughters.

## Usuli movement and Najaf seminary

The appearance of Muhammad Hasan was the result of a development in which some important persons contributed. The Najaf seminary was the place where Akhbarism first appeared at the time when Muhammad Hasan lived in Najaf. In fact, after the establishment of the Usuli school in Shia thought, scholars such as Muhammad Baqir Behbahani, Moḥammad Mahdī Baḥr al-ʿUlūm, and Shaykh Ja'far Kashef al-Ghita developed Usulism from those foundations. When Kashef al-Ghata died, Muhammad Hasan was appointed as the chief of Najaf seminary. Many of the scholars and Ulama supported him for this position. He became very famous after his Excellency Agha Sayyed Ibrahim died. Muhammad Hasan then endorsed the injunctions of the late Ibrahim, and afterward became acquainted with the late Ibrahim's students. Shaykh Ansari was a pupil of Muhammad Hasan and he followed his teacher in managing the seminary.
It is said that the institution of the Marja' in Shi'ism was not centralized until the time of Muhammad Hasan. According to one of his students, during that time he developed the leadership of the Shia. Sayyed Muhammad Nasirabadi believes that Muhammad Hasan had an esoteric relationship with the twelfth Imam.

## Opinions

Muhammad Hasan tried to continue the style of thought that has been started by Allamah Hilli: introducing substantial changes in tradition, without breaking the tradition altogether.

# Hesychius I (bishop of Grenoble)

Hesychius or Isicius (French: Isice; died c. 601) was a bishop of Grenoble at the end of the 6th century.

## Life

Hesychius was a member of "one of the principal Gallo-Roman families of 'Bourgogne'", the Hesychii, a branch of the Syagrii, several others of whom were likewise bishops of either Grenoble (including Syagrius I, Syagrius II and Hesychius II) or Vienne (including Hesychius I, Saint Avitus and Hesychius II).
The dates of his episcopacy are not precisely known but have been estimated as from 573 to 601.
Hesychius was a signatory of several Merovingian councils called by King Guntram: Council of Paris (573), First Council of Mâcon (581), Council of Lyon (583), Council of Valence (584), Second Council of Mâcon (585).
He was one of the bishops gathered at Poitiers before pronouncing on the nuns of the Abbaye Sainte-Croix who had rebelled in 589 and 590.
Hesychius apparently died in or shortly after 601.
# Andreas Lambert

Andreas Lambert, also known as Andries Lambert (Nama name: ǃNanib), (c. 1844 – 8 March 1894) was the second Kaptein of the Kaiǀkhauan (Khauas Nama), a subtribe of the Orlam, in the eastern area of South-West Africa, today's Namibia.
In the 1860s the Kaiǀkhauan were severely weakened in their political and economic power. Their cattle died of lung disease, and smallpox befell the Nama community at Gobabis, including much of the Lambert family. After his grandfather Amraal Lambert died from this disease in 1864, Andreas took over the chieftainship from him and became the leader of the Kaiǀkhauan at the age of 20.
Under his leadership the clan regained its former fame in trade and cattle theft. He opposed the settlement of South African farmers, threatening to chase them away by force. Those Trekboere were in search of political independence from British occupation of the Cape Colony and had ventured into his community's area during their Dorsland Trek. Lambert also won a battle against a Tswana regiment around 1884, using his advantage of having firearms and horses. From that time on the Kaiǀkhauan controlled important trade routes, waylaying and robbing trade treks, and were considered a very powerful and dangerous force in Damaraland and Namaland. Andreas Lambert went as far as speaking on behalf of all Namibian people.
When Imperial Germany began to colonize South-West Africa, Lambert refused to sign a "protection treaty". He was subsequently attacked by Schutztruppe soldiers under the command of Theodor Leutwein and Tswana auxiliaries. The Nama clan was defeated in their home settlement of Naosanabis (today's Leonardville) on 6 March 1894. Lambert survived the attack but was tried and executed for murder and theft two days later. This is thought to be the first execution of a Namibian traditional leader by the German colonial forces. Historical records indicate that Leutwein intended to set an example for much stronger tribes not to stand in his way.
Leutwein confiscated some of the group's land and installed Andreas' brother Eduard as chief of the Kaiǀkhauan. The surviving fighters were forced to sign the protection treaty but arose again in 1896 to fight German occupation. After Edward died in the Battle of Gobabis, the Kaiǀkhauan clan ceased to exist as a unit; its members were taken prisoners and scattered over the country.

# Sibotherium

Sibotherium is an extinct genus of ground sloth in the family Megatheriidae that lived in what is now Costa Rica during the Late Miocene. It was a large ground sloth, weighing more than 2,500 kg.

## Discovery

Fossils of Sibotherium have been found in the Curré Formation in the Puntarenas Province of Costa Rica. The finds are 5.8 million years old and date to the Late Hemphillian, falling within the Late Miocene. The holotype is a left ankle bone. Skeletal parts of some individuals of Sibotherium have also been found, namely partial mandibles, molars, a collarbone and parts of the legs, hands and feet.

## Etymology

The genus name, Sibotherium is derived from Sibö, the good creator in Bribri mythology, and therion, Greek for "beast". In the beginning Sibö made the Earth, the land, the animals and the plants according to the myths of the Bribri, the original inhabitants of southern Costa Rica. This name was chosen because Sibotherium was one of the first South American migrants to shape the new faunal composition of Central America. The species name refers to the Bribri word Ká , which means "place".

## Classification

Within the family Megatheriidae, Sibotherium belongs to the subfamily Megatheriinae. Sibotherium occupies a basal position within this subfamily and Sibotherium is most closely related to Megathericulus, Pyramiodontherium and Anisodontherium.
Sibotherium is the oldest known representative of the Megatheriidae that occurred outside of South America and lived in southern Central America at a time when the Panamanian isthmus was not yet closed, leaving a strait between southern Central America and northwestern Central America. It is believed that Sibotherium or its ancestor reached southern Central America over a temporary land bridge during a period of sea level decline, tectonic rise or a combination of both.
