Sir George Pirie PRSA (5 December 1863 – 17 February 1946) was a Scottish artist who was associated with the Glasgow Boys in the 1880s, though he was not in much sympathy with the theories of these artists.

He was born in Campbeltown, Argyllshire, on 5 December 1863. His father was John Pirie, a physician and surgeon, and his mother was Jane Harvey.  As a child the family moved to Glasgow, where his father was a popular and well-known physician. He educated at Glasgow Academy and graduated M.A. at Glasgow University in 1882.  He studied at Glasgow School of Art, the Slade School, and the Académie Julian in Paris under Gustave Boulanger, Jules Lefebvre, and Emmanuel Frémiet the sculptor.

He painted animals and birds, as well as some landscapes. In the early 1890s he was in Texas for a period, drawing horses and ranching scenes. He exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy as well as in Scotland and the provinces.

He served as President of the Royal Scottish Academy from 1933 to 1944 and was knighted in 1937.

In 1901 he had married Jean Wingate in Glasgow with whom he had two sons and a daughter. The family lived in a large isolated house in Torrance with enough space for all of them to pursue their own interests. The younger son was the biochemist Norman Wingate Pirie. He was knighted in 1937, and died in Torrance on 17 February 1946, aged 82.

Elena Armanda Nicolasa Sanz y Martínez de Arizala (1844–1898) was a Spanish opera singer from the 19th century and the mistress of Alfonso XII of Spain.

Biography 
Elena Sanz was born on 6 December 1844, in Castellón de la Plana (España). She was educated mainly at the Girls' School in Leganes along with her sister. At the age of ten, she entered the institution to learn singing, and joined a choir.  She was a student of Baltasar Saldoni in the Madrid Royal Conservatory.

She met King Alfonso XII in Vienna in 1872.

In 1875, she had her first child from an unknown father. Later during the years, she had two sons more with King Alfonso XII of Spain. The King of Spain died at the age of 28 without recognizing his two sons – Alfonso and Fernando.

In 1876, she was hired by the Paris Opera for two years, and she played her most important and influential roles there – Maddalena of Rigoletto and Brangäne in Tristan and Isolde. During the same years, she also made a premiere at the Teatro Real in Madrid.

Appearance 
Her contemporaries often considered her one of the best opera singers in Spain. Elena travelled all across Europe to display her set of singing skills. She was most valued in the Paris Theater. Castelar described her as a red-lipped, brown-skinned, white-teeth, black hair woman, shining like a star.

Literature appearances 
Elena Sanz was often portrayed in fictional texts in Spain. In 2013, the writer Tomás Gismera Velasco featured Elena Sanz in his work "Elena Sanz: Tu serás mi reina".

She was also featured by Benito Pérez Galdós in his narratives concerning Sanz's relations with the monarch Alfonso XII.

Emily Virgin (born October 1, 1986) is an American politician who was the Minority Leader of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 2018 to 2022. She previously served as House Democratic Caucus Chair.  She was first elected in 2010 at the age of 24 and represents the 44th district, which includes Norman, Oklahoma. Virgin retired from the Oklahoma House at end of 2022 due to term limits.

Education 
Virgin completed an undergraduate degree in criminology and political science at the University of Oklahoma in 2009.  Virgin was elected to the House while attending law school at the University of Oklahoma, from which she earned her J.D. in 2013.

Political career 
In 2010, she won election to the House against Mike Hunt, a self-employed lawn care professional.  At the time she was the youngest representative in the Democratic caucus, at 24 years old, although two younger Republicans were elected that same year. She campaigned on improving education in Oklahoma and fighting education cuts.  She has stated that she had been interested in public service from a young age.  She did not expect to start a political career so early, but she decided to run when her home seat became open due to term limits on the incumbent.

In 2015, the Oklahoma Legislature considered a religious freedom bill that would allow businesses to refuse services to individuals based on the business owner's religious beliefs, mainly in reference to bakers and photographers opposed to same-sex marriage.  Virgin gained notice for proposing an amendment that would require the businesses to publicly post a notice specifying what classes of patrons they would refuse services to, in an attempt to derail the bill.  The bill stalled the following week.

In May 2017, Virgin was elected House Democratic Caucus Chair; her term was to start the following year.  As of 2017, Virgin is on the Appropriations and Budget Committee, Higher Education and Career Tech Committee, Judiciary – Civil and Environmental Committee, and Public Safety Committee.

On November 15, 2018, Virgin was named the Minority Leader for the Oklahoma House of Representatives, succeeding Steve Kouplen.

Bernard "Tut" Bartzen (November 25, 1927 - July 10, 2019) was an American former tennis player in the mid-20th century, who later became a winning college tennis coach.

Biography
Born in 1927 in Austin, Texas, Bartzen moved with his family to San Angelo when he was 5 years old. He won three Texas state high school titles — two in singles and one in doubles — and the National Interscholastic singles championship.

Bartzen attended the College of William & Mary, where the left-hander posted a 50–0 singles record. He also won the NCAA doubles title with Fred Kovaleski in 1948.

Bartzen went on the American tennis circuit and was ranked in the top 10 nine straight years (1953–1961), two of them at No. 2 (1959 and 1960). Lance Tingay of The Daily Telegraph ranked him World No. 8 for 1959. During his career, he had wins over such future Hall of Famers as Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert. One of those wins over Trabert came in 1955 in the final at the event in Cincinnati, where Bartzen won three titles: 1955, 1957 and 1958. 

Bartzen reached the semifinals of the U.S. National Championships in 1959 (beating Vic Seixas before losing to Neale Fraser) and the quarterfinals in 1955. 

He also won four U.S. Clay Court Championships held at River Forest, Illinois in 1954 defeating Tony Trabert in the final, in 1958 defeating Sammy Giammalva in the final, in 1959 defeating Whitney Reed in the final, and in 1961. 

Bartzen won the Canadian National title on red clay in 1954.

Bartzen served as co-captain of the U.S. Davis Cup team and won 15 singles matches.

After his playing career, Bartzen served 12 years as head tennis pro at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, where he hosted the Colonial National Invitational Tournament, before taking over the Texas Christian University program in 1974. His tennis teams were ranked nationally every year but one in a 20-year stretch.  

Bartzen was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.

Bernard James "Tut" Bartzen died on July 10, 2019, 19 years to the day after his wife, Sara Jane Ledbetter.

Master Paul of Levoča (German: Paul von Leutschau, ; ) was a medieval carver and sculptor of the 15th and 16th century, active mostly in then Carpathian-German town of Levoča, Slovakia (, ).

History
Most documents about him seem to have perished in the Levoča fire of 1550. Thus neither his surname, nor dates or places of birth and death, are known. It is assumed that he was born between 1470 and 1480. He must have died between 1537 (when he is still mentioned on record) and 1542 (when his widow is mentioned).

His origin is unknown. Theories of his origin include being a native of Levoča, theories of German origin link him to Passau, Wittenberg and Augsburg. He was also linked with origins from northern Italy or Tyrol. He probably started working in Kraków, judged by the connections of this city with Levoča at that time and, based on the artistic similarities, he may have been a student of Veit Stoss. He worked in Sabinov and Banská Bystrica before settling in Levoča in 1500, marrying a daughter of an influential citizen. In 1506 he established a carving workshop. A list of some of his works includes an Altar of St. Barbara in Banská Bystrica dated to 1509, an Altar of St. George in Spišská Sobota of 1516, and his most famous work, completed in 1517, an altar in the Basilica of St. James in Levoča. This late Gothic altar is the tallest in Europe, measured at 18.62 meters. It is carved in wood and decorated with gold. The Madonna from this altar was depicted in the former issue of 100 SKK banknotes (before Slovakia's adoption of the Euro in 2009).

In 1527 he became a member of the Levoča town council, but he gained most of his fame and recognition after his death. He began to be recognised by art historians in 1870s in debates concerning the Levoča altar.

An English cricket team captained by Lord Harris toured Australia and New Zealand in 1878–79 in a private tour organised by the Melbourne Cricket Club. The team's match against Australia in January 1879 was retrospectively given Test match status, making it the third Test ever and the third between Australia and England, though it was not part of The Ashes which began in 1882.

Harris' tour party arrived in Australia just two months after the touring Australians had returned from England. They were scheduled to play five tour matches, two each against New South Wales and Victoria and one against the combined Australians. Whilst in Sydney, the notorious Sydney Riot of 1879 occurred as a result of the tourists match against New South Wales. The English team, which is sometimes referred to as Lord Harris' XI, also visited New Zealand where they played a single match in Christchurch. From there, they travelled home via the Pacific and the US, stopping in Hoboken en route to play one further match there.

The ranks and insignia used by Russian Ground Forces are inherited from the military ranks of the Soviet Union, although the insignia and uniform has been altered slightly.

Ranks and insignia 
The following is a table of ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. English translation is given first, followed by Russian version, then by English transliteration.

Officers

Other ranks 

Rank titles are sometimes modified due to a particular assignment, branch or status:

 The ranks of servicemen assigned to a "guards" unit or formation are preceded by the word "guards";
 The ranks of servicemen in the legal, medical and veterinary branches are followed by "of justice", "of the medical service", and "of the veterinary service", respectively;
 The ranks of servicemen in the reserve or retired are followed by "of the reserve" or "in retirement", respectively;
 The rank descriptor "of aviation" was officially abolished but is still commonly used.

Reforms

Insignia reform (2010) 

On 11 March 2010, Law No.2010-293 of the President of Russia introduced a new set of rank insignia. Privates, airmen and seamen now wear plain shoulder epaulettes. Senior NCOs had their chevrons replaced by plain bars (small horizontal bars for corporals and sergeants increasing in number with seniority, large horizontal bars for staff sergeants, and vertical bars for master sergeants). These rank badges mirror the insignia of both the Imperial Russian Army and the Soviet Army in the 1970s. Warrant officers and officers received new shoulder rank epaulettes and all general officer insignia now reflect service affiliation in the duty dress uniform. The parade dress gold epaulettes have been retained. The insignia for a marshal of the Russian Federation retained the coat of arms of Russia and the marshal's star.

Rank and insignia reform (2013) 
In 2013, the insignia of an army general now include the marshal's star, surmounted by a red star in a wreath. In Spring 2013, the warrant officer ranks, which had been removed as a result of the 2008 Russian military reform, were reinstated.
