# Lesley Rae Dowling

Lesley Rae Dowling is a South African singer-songwriter.

## Music

Lesley Rae Dowling was discovered in Stellenbosch in 1980 by artist manager Paddy Lee Thorpe. She released her first single (The Spaniard / Grips of Emotion) and album (Lesley Rae Dowling) in 1981. Many of her albums have been produced and co-written (and accompanied) by Tully McCully. Her music has won many South African music awards, including various Sarie (South African Recording Industry) awards, several SAMA awards, 3M Scotty awards, and an FNB SAMA award.
She declined the opportunity in the early 1980s to go international, as the cultural boycott of South Africa during the late apartheid era meant she would need to live in Ireland for six months a year, something she was not prepared to do.
She has a well-known love/hate relationship with the music industry, and has never been comfortable with public performances. She lives on her farm, "De Groote Zalze" near Stellenbosch.

# Yohai Aharoni

Yohai Aharoni (יוחאי אהרוני; born 8 June 1943) is an Israeli former football player and coach who played as a right winger. He is best known for playing in Hapoel Mahane Yehuda and Hapoel Petah Tikva in Israel's prime league. On the Israel national team, Aharoni contributed to Israel's only Asia Cup victory.

## Club career

On 30 September 1967, Aharoni scored the first goal in Hapoel Mahane Yehuda's 5–2 defeat of Hapoel Ramat Gan in Israel's first tier of that era, the Liga Leumit. In January 1968, Hapoel Petach Tikva pressured Mahane Yehuda, through the Petah Tikva Worker's Council of Israel's largest trade union, to trade Aharoni against three specific players of their own. Mahane Yehuda refused the offer and Aharoni went on quarantine so he could be released from his club.
After the quarantine, in 1969–70, Aharoni had 18 caps for Hapoel Petah Tikva, 17 of which were in the opening squad. His Hapoel Petah Tikva debut was on 18 October 1969, in a 0–0 draw against Hapoel Haifa. In the summer of 1971, after a season at Beitar Tel Aviv, he quit his playing career due to an injury.

## International career

Aharoni earned five caps for the Israel national team, scoring one goal against India in the 1964 AFC Asian Cup. His first cap was on 26 May 1964 against the Hong Kong national team, a game that Israel won 1–0. His last cap was a friendly game against the Netherlands on 26 January 1965, ending in a 1–0 loss for Israel.

## Managerial career

After his active playing career, Yohai Aharoni was a manager for Hapoel Mahane Yehuda, Hapoel Jaljulia, and Hapoel Aliyah Kfar Saba. He also coached in Rosh HaAyin.

## Legacy

In 2021 Aharoni was included in the Star Boulevard of Hapoel Mahane Yehuda, highlighting 12 footballers who starred for the club while it played in Israel's prime league.
# Batanaea

Batanaea or Batanea was an area often mentioned between the first century BCE and the fourth century CE. It is often mixed with the biblical Bashan, the part of the Biblical Holy Land, northeast of the Jordan River, as its Latinized form.
Bashan was, in biblical context, the whole region east of the Jordan, above Gadara and Abila until the Jabal al-Druze, the old Hauran (Bashan) mountains.

## History

Bataneaea was one of the four post-exile divisions of the area of Bashan. Today, as it was during Greco-Roman times, Batanaea is more commonly considered to be the area east of the Leja.
The region south of the Leja and west of the Hauran (Auranitis) called Nuqrah to the southwestern edge of the Leja is sometimes falsely called Batanaea. This is because of the permanent mix with the name of the Basan/Bashan region. The biblical Bashan/Basan was the whole area from Adra (Deraa) at its ancient capital to the Hauran mountains. Its highest peak may be the Hill of Basan referenced in Psalm 68:15.
In the 1st century BCE, the land was acquired by Herod the Great, who established a community of Jews from Babylon who were brought to Batanaea for the purpose of maintaining order against the banditry of the Trachonites. Upon Herod's death in 4 BCE, Batanaea passed to his son Philip as part of his inheritance. In some sources, Philip is referred to as the "Tetrarch of Batanea" with the capital at Caesarea Philippi, although his lands were more extensive than this.
On Philip's death in 34 AD, Batanea briefly became part of the Roman province of Syria, but in 37 AD it was established as a kingdom and passed to king Herod Agrippa I, and then in 53 AD to his son, king Herod Agrippa II. Following his death in 100 AD, it was once again annexed to the Roman province of Syria.

## New Testament

D. A. Carson, in his commentary on the Gospel of John, says that the "Bethany across the Jordan" of John 1:28 is actually Batanaea, transliterated from Aramaic to Greek. It is thus distinct from the other, more prominent Bethany in the gospels. This contradicts the general consensus, which is that Bethany across the Jordan is situated on the Jordan River near Jericho, on either the east or west bank of the river.

# The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee

## Reception

Anton Bitel of SciFiNow gave the film four out of five stars and wrote, "While Spira deploys an abundance of archival footage – interviews with the actual Lee and clips from his many, varied films – he also fleshes out his otherworldly narrator with marionettes and beautifully abstract animated inserts." Joel Harley of GamesRadar+ also gave the film four out of five stars, writing that "Christopher Lee is lovingly profiled in this biographical doc." Spencer Perry of ComicBook.com wrote, "Even viewers that enter The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee knowing him from only a handful of roles will come away from this with a complete picture of who Christopher Lee was and how he continues to define elements of entertainment after his death."
# Larry Shepard

Lawrence William Shepard (April 3, 1919 – April 5, 2011) was an American professional baseball player, manager, and pitching coach. He managed the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball to a 164–155 win–loss record in 1968 and 1969.

## Biography

Although he was born in Lakewood, Ohio, United States, Shepard lived with his family after the age of 14 in Montréal, Québec, Canada, where he attended McGill University.
During his playing days, Shepard was a right-handed pitcher who played minor league baseball from 1941 through 1956, with time out for United States Army service during World War II. He was listed as 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and 180 pounds (82 kg). He became a playing manager in the Brooklyn Dodgers' farm system in 1948, with the Medford Nuggets of the Class D Far West League. His club finished second, thanks to the 22–3 record of its star pitcher – Shepard himself. He then moved up to the Billings Mustangs of the Class C Pioneer League, where, as a pitcher, he won 21, 22 and 24 games in successive (1949–51) seasons. As a skipper, his 1949 club won the league playoffs.
In 1952 and part of 1953, Shepard took a break from managing, becoming strictly a relief pitcher for the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League. Concurrently, he left the Dodger system for the Pirates' organization. He resumed his managerial career in the middle of the 1953 season in the Pittsburgh system, winning the 1956 and 1957 Western League championships with the Lincoln Chiefs. From 1958 through 1966, he managed at the Triple-A level for Pittsburgh with the Salt Lake City Bees and Columbus Jets, notching three first-place finishes.
In 1967, Shepard reached the Major League level when he was named pitching coach of the Philadelphia Phillies. After only one season, he was appointed manager of the Pirates. In his two seasons as skipper of the Bucs, Pittsburgh finished sixth in the ten-team National League in 1968 (with a record of 80–82) and fourth in the NL East at 84–73 in 1969 (when Shepard was released, that September 25). During his two seasons at the helm, he managed the legendary Roberto Clemente; Clemente batted .291 and .336, respectively, under Shepard.
After his firing by the Pirates, Shepard returned to the coaching ranks. He was the pitching coach of the fabled Cincinnati Reds "Big Red Machine" dynasty under Sparky Anderson from 1970 through 1978, with the Reds winning four National League pennants, two World Series championships, and five NL West titles over that nine-year stretch. He finished his coaching career with the San Francisco Giants in 1979, then scouted for the Giants.
Shepard died in Lincoln, Nebraska, at age 92 in 2011, and was buried there at Calvary Catholic Cemetery.
# Ceslaus Sipovich

Ceslaus Sipovich (Belarusian: Чэслаў Вінцэнтавіч Сіповіч, Łacinka: Česłaǔ Sipovič) (8 December 1914 – 4 October 1981) was a bishop of the Belarusian Greek Catholic Church, a titular bishop of Mariamme, and a notable Belarusian émigré social and religious leader.

## Early life

Bishop Sipovich was born on 8 December 1914 into a large farming family in the village of Dziedzinka, Braslau District, Kovno Province of the Russian Empire (nowadays Mijory District, Viciebsk Region of Belarus). He felt a priesthood vocation from an early age while attending catholic school in Druja.
In 1935 Sipovich went to University of Wilno to read Philosophy and Theology followed by studies at the Pontifical Greek College in Rome between 1938-1942. In 1940 he was ordained a priest in the Greek-Catholic rite. In 1946 he obtained his doctorate from the Pontifical Oriental Institute.

## Later life in Britain

In 1947 Sipovich moved to Great Britain to serve the spiritual needs of thousands of ethnic Belarusians (mainly former soldiers of the Polish Anders Army) who settled there after World War II. He joined the recently founded Association of Belarusians in Great Britain and was involved in refugee welfare work.
On 27 October 1947 the Belarusian Catholic Mission in North London (the precursor of Church of St Cyril of Turau and All the Patron Saints of the Belarusian People) was established, with Fr Sipovich as its first Rector.
In 1954 the Anglo-Belarusian Society was founded, one of its founders was Fr Sipovich. At that time, he also revived the Society of St John Chrysostom, an organisation devoted to promoting a better knowledge and understanding of Eastern Christianity among English-speaking people.
He was appointed titular bishop of Mariamme in 1960, making him the first bishop in the Belarusian Greek Catholic Church since its criminalization by Bishop Joseph Semashko and the Russian imperial authorities in the 1830s. Bishop Sipovich also served as Superior General of the Congregation of Marian Fathers from 1963 to 1969 and was Apostolic Visitor for Belarusian Catholic faithful abroad.
In 1971 he was one of the founders of the Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library in London. Its opening was “an impressive feast of Belarusian culture and a personal triumph for Bishop Sipovich.”
Bishop Sipovich was also involved in academic work in the field of Theology and Church History.

## Death

Bishop Sipovich died at the age of 67 on 4 October 1981 and is buried in St Pancras and Islington Cemetery in East Finchley, North London.
# Margaretta Sully West

Margaret Sully West or Margaretta Sully West, née Sully, (d. 1810), was an American stage actress and theater director. She was the director of the Virginia Comedians and as such the leader of the theatrical activity within contemporary Virginia.

## Life

Margaret Sully West was married to Thomas Wade West, mother of Ann West Bignall and mother-in-law of John Bignall.
Her spouse, in companionship with Thomas Bignall, had broken the theater monopoly of the Old American Company in 1790 by establishing the Virginia Comedians. The Virginia Comedians established the so called "Virginia circuit", and regularly performed in Richmond-Fredericksburg-Charleston (1794)-Norfolk (1795)-Petersburg (1796)- Alexandria (1797), cities where they also constructed playhouses.

While living in Providence, Rhode Island, Stark began performing as Lavender Diamond in a play that she and puppeteer Xander Marro wrote, created and toured with called Birdsongs of the Bauharoque inspired by the work of artist Paul Laffoley. A self-produced CD of Stark's songs accompanied the tour in a hand-sewn, silkscreened sleeve. Lavender Diamond became a duo and eventually a four-piece band after Stark relocated to Los Angeles. With the help of local patrons Brian Kaneda and Josh Scuteri, Lavender Diamond self-released a four-song EP and performed at L.A.'s ArthurFest, at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, and at the CMJ New Music Seminar in New York City.
