# Giovanni Battista Casali

Giovanni Battista Casali (1715–6 July 1792) was an Italian musician.
Casali was born in Rome in 1715. From 1759 until his death he held the position of choir-master in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Casali was one of the last of his period to write for voices a cappella.

## Works

Of his numerous compositions a mass in G major and several motets (Confitebor tibi, Ave Maria, Exaltabo, Improperium) have been reprinted in Lueck's "Collection" (Trier, 1859). These compositions, while liturgical in spirit and form, show a considerable departure from the tradition of the Roman School in a freer use of dissonance, and they also bear witness to the influence of opera, in which form Casali also wrote. Most of his works are preserved in the library of Abbate Santini in Rome.
# Menon (title)

Menon (Malayalam:) is an aristocratic hereditary title of the Nair community bestowed by various kings of Kerala, most saliently the Zamorin of Calicut and Maharaja of Cochin, upon eminent Nairs. The recipient of the title held it lifelong, and the male members of the family held it in perpetuity in the matrilineal line.
Historically, the Menons were feudal landlords or Jenmimar with some of them being Naduvazhis. They were often engaged in various administrative and political duties, such as being ministers, accountants and advisors of the Kings of Kerala. Many members of the Menon subcaste are related to the Cochin royal family, Zamorin of Calicut, Paliam royal family, & Kodungallur royal family since the members of royal families in Central Kerala were often married to aristocratic Nair/Menon families. Thus, the children of such Rajahs and Maharajahs held the Menon title and passed it to subsequent generations matrilineally.
The famous Paliath Achans from the Paliam Royal family of Cochin and the Shekhari Varmas of the Palakkad Royal family, both families share the title.

## Etymology

The title Menon meaning a superior person comes from the words Mel, meaning above and avan, meaning he. "Mel-avan" soon became "Menavan" finally being contracted into the current form of usage of the title, that is, Menon. In the Cochin Kingdom, as Francis Day explains, when the Rajah intends to confer this honour, he salutes the person to whom he means to give it, by the title of Menon prefixed to his name, and should two other persons present, immediately address him in the same terms, the title is confirmed, if not he does not receive it. After becoming a Menon, he is called a Thampuran. As soon as a person was made a Menon, he was presented with an Ola(palmyra leaf) as a writing sheet and an iron style, as symbolic of the office he was expected to fill, i.e. of an accountant. The role of a Menon was connected to supervisory positions or that of a scribe and accountant in Palace or temple, preparing Grantha palm leaf manuscripts. Compared to the foot soldier Nair, these personnel were better educated, was closer in proximity to the ruler and were ordained or titled, with the title passing on through generations, in a matrilineal fashion.
# Antoine Court

Antoine Court (27 March 1696 – 13 June 1760) was a French reformer called the "Restorer of Protestantism in France." He was born in Villeneuve-de-Berg, in Languedoc, on 27 March 1696, although at least one source lists a different date. His parents were peasants, adherents of the Reformed church, which was at the time a target of state persecution following the 1685 Edict of Fontainebleau.
Antoine (sometimes translated as Anthony) was ordained by Pierre Corties at a Synod in 1718. He founded a school for clergy and encouraged Paul Rabaut to join the ministry of the church.

## Early life

When he was 17 years old, Court began to speak at secret meetings of the Protestants, and in 1715 he convoked the first Synod of the Desert, or synod of the French Reformed Church. He was ordained in 1718, and continued holding religious gatherings for Protestants across France.
His proposals for the improvement of the French Protestant church were:
* regular religious meetings for teaching and worship;
* suppression of the fanaticism of those who professed to be inspired, and of the consequent disorders;
* restoration of discipline by the establishment of consistories, conferences, and synods;
* the careful training of a body of pastors.

## Later life

In 1724, France issued a decree that further criminalized Protestantism, and made preaching punishable by death. A price was set on Court's head, and in 1729 he fled to Lausanne, Switzerland, where there was a seminary for Protestant clergyman. He founded a college there for the education of the clergy, and was the chief director there until his death on 13 June 1760. This college sent forth all of the pastors of the Reformed Church of France until the close of the eighteenth century.

## Works

Court intended to write a history of Protestantism and made extensive collections for the purpose, but he did not live to do the work. His writings include:
* An Historical Memorial of the Most Remarkable Proceedings Against the Protestants in France from 1744-51 (English translation, London, 1832)
* Histoire des troubles des Cévennes ou de la guerre des Camisards (1760; new edition, three volumes, Alais, 1819)
* Autobiography, edited by E. Hugues (Toulouse, 1885)
* Letters, from 1739, edited by C. Dardier (Paris, 1885; 1891)
# Green Mercantile Store

The Green Mercantile Store, located in Buffalo Creek, Colorado, is a two-story building constructed of native granite in 1898 by John W. Green, Sr. The building is also home for the Buffalo Creek post office.
The original Green Mercantile was a wooden hotel building built in 1883 and purchased by John Wesley Green. The mercantile became the post office as well in 1886 when Green was appointed postmaster by Grover Cleveland. After the original building burnt down in a fire that destroyed many buildings in Buffalo Creek in 1897, Green contracted Seerie Investment Company to replace the building with fireproof native granite block. The blocks were hoisted into place by six men with a mule team and a gin pole. The building has been in continuous operation as a general store and post office ever since, operated by descendants of the Green family.

# Ferrinho

The ferrinho (in Cape Verdean Creole ferrinhu) is a musical instrument, more precisely a scraped idiophone. It is made up by a metal bar (generally of iron) that is scraped by another metal object. The player holds the bar vertically, with its lower end in the palm of one hand and the upper end leaning against the shoulder. With the other hand, the player uses a metallic object, held horizontally, to scrape the bar with up-and-down movements. A custom-made ferrinho is usually 90 centimeters long, with a straight-angle section to ease handling.
The ferrinho is used to mark the rhythm in funaná, a musical genre in Cape Verde.
It is believed that the name “ferrinho” is an adaptation of “ferrinhos”, that is the name by which the triangle is known in popular music in Portugal. In spite of the name, the ferrinho is more similar to instruments like the güiro (scraped idiophone) than the triangle (directly struck idiophone).

## Depictions

A ferrinho is depicted on the back of the Cape Verdean 1,000 escudos note issued since 2015.

# Guert Gansevoort

Commodore Guert Gansevoort (7 June 1812 – 15 July 1868) was an officer in the United States Navy during the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War.

## Biography

He was born into an aristocratic Dutch American family in Gansevoort, New York, near Albany. The area was named for his paternal grandfather, Peter Gansevoort, a prosperous businessman who had served in the Continental Army and later become a brigadier general in the United States Army. Guert was the son of Peter's son Leonard. Peter's daughter, Maria, was the mother of author Herman Melville.
Gansevoort was appointed a midshipman in the Navy on 4 March 1823. Subsequently, he served in the Mediterranean Sea on board Constitution, North Carolina, and Ohio, receiving promotion to passed midshipman on 28 April 1832, and to lieutenant on 8 March 1837.
In 1842 Gansevoort was serving as first lieutenant aboard the brig Somers, under the command of Alexander Slidell Mackenzie, when a planned mutiny was discovered, led by Midshipman Philip Spencer. On the advice of Gansevoort and the other officers Mackenzie sentenced Spencer, Boatswain's Mate Samuel Cromwell and Seaman Elisha Small to death, and on 1 December the three men were hanged from the yardarm. Mackenzie was subsequently court-martialled, but exonerated. Gansevoort's first cousin, Herman Melville, later wrote the novella Billy Budd, inspired by the events.
Gansevoort took part in the First Battle of Tuxpan and First Battle of Tabasco during the Mexican–American War. Promoted to commander on 14 September 1855, Gansevoort landed seamen and marines from Decatur in January 1856 to defend Seattle, Washington Territory from Native Americans during the Puget Sound War.
Between 1861 and 1863, during the Civil War, Gansevoort was in charge of ordnance at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, receiving promotion to captain on 16 July 1862, while helping fit out ships which had been acquired for blockade duty. He commanded the ironclad Roanoke in the last year of the war.

# Albert Guillaume

Albert Guillaume (14 February 1873 – 10 August 1942) was a French painter and caricaturist.
Born in Paris, France, Albert Guillaume became a leading caricaturist during the Belle Époque. While remembered for his poster art, Guillaume also did oil paintings such as "Soirée parisienne," a portrait of Parisian dinner society. He created theater posters as well as advertising posters that were greatly influenced by the work of one of the preeminent poster painters, Jules Chéret.

## Poster art

Guillaume thrived during the international poster mania of the Gay Nineties. During this period, a collection of notable artists helped transform the boulevards of Paris into a gallery of fine art. Toulouse-Lautrec set the stage in 1891 with his famous poster, Moulin Rouge. Other fine art posters followed and the streets came alive with color. Posters soon appeared from many of the era's great masters. Artists such as Chéret, Livemont, Hermann-Paul and Mucha helped shape the Parisian landscape.
Jules Chéret is often called the "father of the modern poster." From 1895 until 1900, he collaborated with the era's great poster artists to produce a series of smaller works suitable for collectors. For six years, Chéret and his collaborators painstakingly reproduced four posters a month. The series was a smashing success. The Maîtres de l'Affiche ("Masters of Posters") collection included the two works below and it was through this series that he became known to a wider audience. The collection remains popular to this day.
* Posters from Les Maîtres de l'Affiche
* Poster 30
* Poster 16

## Caricature

Guillaume is also known for satirical drawings that were published in Parisian humor magazines such as Gil Blas, Le Rire, L'Assiette au Beurre, and Le Figaro illustré. These magazines appeared as Parisians started to acquire an increased appetite for arts, culture and politics. Guillaume lampooned the foibles of French society at a time when French governance was frequently characterized by corruption and mismanagement.

## Recognition

The winner of a bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris, Guillaume had many of his illustrations published in albums by such firms as "Ernest Maindron" and "Librairie illustrée, J. Tallandier" including three albums of military cartoons with the preface for the 1896 edition written by Georges Courteline.

## Death

Albert Guillaume died during the occupation in the rural village of Faux in the Dordogne département of France in 1942.

# Annie Fairlamb Mellon

Annie Fairlamb Mellon (1850–1938) also known as Mrs. J. B. Mellon was a British materialization medium.
Mellon was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and became interested in spiritualism from a young age. In the 1870s she worked with the medium C. E. Wood and was associated with the Newcastle Spiritual Evidence Society. In 1877, she resigned from the Society due to personal problems with committee members. She married James Barr Mellon in July 1878 and worked as an independent medium, giving séances in Australia.
Psychical researchers strongly suspected that Mellon's materializations were fraudulent. She was defended by the spiritualist William Thomas Stead.
Mellon claimed that Frederic W. H. Myers, Sidgwick and other members from the Society for Psychical Research had endorsed her mediumship as genuine. On investigation this claim turned out to be false. In February and March, 1875 in Newcastle, Myers and Sidgwick who attended séances described her mediumship as "inconclusive" and "suspicious".
On 12 October 1894 in Sydney, Mellon was exposed as a fraud by Thomas Shekleton Henry. He had caught Mellon kneeling on the floor pretending to be a spirit of a young girl called 'Cissie' with a mask and muslin. A false beard, clothing and more muslin was found in her séance cabinet. The exposure is considered to have discredited Mellon as a medium. Psychical researcher Hereward Carrington commented that she was "detected and caught red-handed, in producing the grossest fraud."
