Julia Flavia or Flavia Julia and also nicknamed Julia Titi ( – 91) was the daughter of Roman Emperor Titus and his first wife Arrecina Tertulla.

Biography

Early life
Julia was born in Rome to Titus and Arrecina Tertulla, she was named for Tertulla's mother Julia Ursa. Her mother was either divorced or died when Julia was an infant. Her father later remarried to Marcia Furnilla with whom he had another daughter who is presumed to have died young. In 65, after the failure of the Pisonian conspiracy, the family of Furnilla was disfavored by Nero. Julia's father, Titus concluded that he did not want to be connected with any potential plotters and ended his marriage to Julia's step-mother. Julia was likely raised by her maternal grandmother and the wet nurse Phyllis (who had already reared Julia's uncle Domitian as a child).

Marriage
When growing up, Titus offered her in marriage to his brother Domitian, but he refused because of his infatuation with Domitia Longina. Later she married her second paternal cousin Titus Flavius Sabinus, brother to consul Titus Flavius Clemens, who married her first cousin Flavia Domitilla.

Later life
After the death of her husband Julia lived in the palace with her uncle and his wife Domitia Longina.

Ancient historians report stories that Julia was seduced by her uncle and died having an abortion forced upon her by him, for example Dio claimed that he "lived with [her] as husband with wife, making little effort at concealment. Then upon the demands of the people he became reconciled with Domitia, but continued his relations with Julia nonetheless." and Juvenal stated "such a man was that adulterer [i.e. Domitian] who, after lately defiling himself by a union of the tragic style, revived the stern laws that were to be a terror to all men – ay, even to Mars and Venus – just as Julia was relieving her fertile womb and giving birth to abortions that displayed the likeness of her uncle." but modern historians generally regard this as slander against the emperor and the stories were likely invented after his assassination. Julia was deified after her death and Martial wrote a poem where in he praised her and wished for her to become the spiritual guardian of the (hoped for) future son of Domitian and Domitia whom he wished to be named "Julius" in her honor. Following the downfall of her uncle their wet nurse Phyllis mixed his ashes with those of Julia to ensure that his remains would not be thrown away.

Albert Edward Peter Griessen (French form Albert Edward Pierre Griessen) (1875 – 6 October 1935) was a Kew-trained English gardener who was involved in the landscaping of the Indian capital city of New Delhi along with architect Edwin Lutyens and later the gardener William Robert Mustoe. He also worked on archaeology and restoration of ancient monuments within the lands that he was in his charge.

Griessen was born in London and educated in France and at London, he trained at Kew as a gardener from 1896 and worked as a subforeman until 1898. He was posted to the Sibpur Botanical Gardens in Calcutta and later served as superintendent of the gardens at Agra, involved in work around the Taj Mahal, McDonnell Park and surroundings. Under Lord Curzon and Griessen, the Taj Mahal gardens which earlier consisted of fruit trees were altered to have few fruit trees, presumably to prevent pilferage by visitors. After the design of numerous parks in Agra, he was involved in the design of the Delhi area before the Coronation Durbar of Lord Curzon (1903) and the Delhi Durbar of 1911. He also worked on other ceremonial projects during visits of the Prince and Princess of Wales (1905) and the Emir of Afghanistan (1907). During the 1913 Durbar, with visitors from across India, there was a congregation of Kew gardeners who were working in other provinces or native states which included Robert Henry Locke, W.R. Mustoe, Ernest Long, E. Little, John Thomas Johnson, W.G. Head (1837-1897) and Hermann Krumbiegel. 

Griessen published several notes in English and in French and these include:
 Horticulture in France
 India Town Planning Notes (Muttra)
 Rural Arboriculture with Vernacular Translations
 De l'Adaptation de certaines Especes
 The Evolution of the Moghul Gardens of the Plains in India
 Quelques Arbres a Fleurs de l'Inde
 De la Distribution de certaines Especes sur la Globe Terrestre
 Causerie sur les Palmiers des Indes

He was awarded the Royal Victorial Medal and the Kaiser-i-Hind medals. He went on furlough in 1928 and he was requested to serve in India for an extended period but he refused and retired in 1930 and settled at Craven Park.

Saira Wasim is a contemporary artist from Lahore, Pakistan. She currently lives in United States. Wasim uses the miniature style of painting, pioneered by the Persians but extensively used in South Asia, to make primarily political and cultural art. Wasim's art has been shown in a number of museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, and Asian Art Museum.

Biography 
Wasim went to National College of Arts (in Lahore), from where she graduated with a Bachelors in Fine Arts with focus in miniature painting in 1999. Dawn art critic Ali Adil Khan describes her as part of "magnificent seven" along with Muhammed Imran Qureshi, Tazeen Qayyum, Aisha Khalid, Talha Rathore, Nusra Latif Qureshi, and Reeta Saeed- who brought back miniatures

Artistic approach 
Wasim draws Persian Miniatures to make devastating political commentary.

Wasim has stated:

"My work uses the contemporary miniature form to explore social and political issues that divide the modern world. This series, Battle for Hearts and Minds, illustrates the clash between imperialism in the west and fundamentalism in the east, and questions the underlying motivations and uneasy alliances that keep this conflict going. My work offers a voice against this ignorance and prejudice. It pleas for social justice, respect, and tolerance through the use of caricature and satire."

The New York Times describes her work as "exquisite political cartoons that conjure William Hogarth and sometimes borrow directly from Norman Rockwell."

The Blackstone Barristers were a minor league baseball team based in Emporia, Virginia. In 1948, the Barristers were a New York Yankees affiliate and played as members of the Class D level Virginia League, winning the league championship. In their only season of minor league play, Blackstone hosted minor league home games at the Blackstone Stadium.

History
In 1947, the Washington Senators, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees were interested in expanding their minor league affiliations and turning the semipro Virginia League into a minor league, which proved to be successful.
 
In 1948, the Blackstone "Barristers" became members of the Virginia League, which reformed as a six–team, Class D level league. The Emporia Nationals, Franklin Cubs, Lawrenceville Cardinals, Petersburg Generals and Suffolk Goobers joined Blackstone in beginning league play on April 23, 1948. Emporia and Lawrenceville were also minor league affiliates, of the Washington Senators and St. Louis Cardinals respectively. The Blackstone Barristers began play as a minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees.

The "Barristers" nickname lies in local history. Blackstone, Virginia is named for William Blackstone, who was a barrister.

In their only season of play, the Barristers won the 1948 Virginia League championship. The Nationals ended the regular season with a record of 78–62, placing 2nd in the regular season standings, finishing 7.5 games behind the 1st place Suffolk Goobers. Paul Badgett served as player/manager, hitting .340 with 23 home runs. Blackstone pitcher Al Tefft led the league with a 21–1 record and 1.57 ERA. In the playoffs, the Barristers swept the Franklin Cubs in four games to advance. In the Finals, the Blackstone Barristers defeated the Petersburg Generals in a seven game series, winning the final game to secure the championship. It was the final game played by the franchise.

In the 1949 Virginia League, Blackstone was replaced by the Hopewell Blue Sox franchise, as the New York Yankees ended their affiliation agreement with Blackstone. In 1949, Emporia continued as the only Virginia League team with a major league affiliation. 

The Virginia League eventually folded as a minor league following the 1951 season. Blackstone, Virginia has not hosted another minor league team.

The ballpark
The Blackstone Barristers hosted 1948 home minor league home games at Blackstone Stadium. The ballpark was located at Lester & Jackson and was adjacent to Blackstone High School and Blackstone Junior High School. Today, the site is home to the Wigglesworth Stadium complex, located at 617 South Harris Street.

Elizabeth Knatchbull religious name Lucy (1584 – 5 August 1629) was the founding English abbess of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Ghent.

Life
Knatchnull was born in 1584. Her parents were Ann Elizabeth (born Crispe) and Reginald Knatchbull of Saltwood Castle.

In 1604 she joined the English Benedictine convent in Brussels in 1604 and was professed seven years later when she was given the religious name of Lucy. She would write of the anguish she felt at the commitment she had made but in time she took the idea of being a nun joyously.

In 1608 Mary Lovel/Roper became a nun at the English Benedictine convent in Brussels. She left the convent in 1609 as the prioress Joanne Berkeley did not agree with her view about confessors being Jesuits. Berkeley had wanted to found a new convent to house difficult nuns such as Lovel, but she could not get permission. Berkeley had decided to ban Jesuit special assistants at confession and this caused Lovel, Knatchbull and Elizabeth/Magdelan Digby to leave. Another sister interceded for the prioress and Knatchbull and Digby returned in 1609 - but not Lovel.

By 1624 she felt crowded at the convent in Brussels and she was given leave to go to Ghent with three other nuns to establish a small convent there. The four nuns were Knatchbull, Magdalen Digby, Eugenia Poulton, Mary Lovel/Roper. Two of the early nuns were her nieces Mary and Margaret Knatchbull. Within a year they had twenty postulants and the dowries that these recruits bought to the convent. With these funds Knatchnull was able to commission a new building on the banks of the River Scheldt which they moved to in 1628.

After the Civil War broke out in 1640, the Catholic convert Tobie Matthew was falsely accused. Matthew, by now in his sixties, left England in 1641. He took refuge with the English Jesuits at their house at Ghent. Whilst he was there he became the spiritual adviser to Knatchbull. He admired her and wrote her biography, The life of Lady Lucy Knatchbull, that was first published in 1931.

Death and legacy
Knatchbull died in Ghent on 5 August 1629. In 1650 Knatchbull's niece Mary was elected Abbess. The Ghent community had to flee to the UK in 1794 and they initially settled in Preston, moving to Caverswall Castle and then to Oulton in 1853 where it continues.

Hostus  is a Latin praenomen, or personal name, which was used in pre-Roman times and during the early centuries of the Roman Republic, but become obsolete by the 1st century BC. The feminine form was probably Hosta or Hostia. The patronymic gentes Hostia and Hostilia were derived from Hostus. The name was not regularly abbreviated.

Hostus is best known from Hostus Hostilius, a companion of Romulus, the founder and first king of Rome. Hostus was a Roman champion who fell in battle against the Sabines under Titus Tatius in the earliest years of the city. His grandson was Tullus Hostilius, the third king of Rome. Although rare, the name was still evidently in use more than three centuries later, when Hostus Lucretius Tricipitinus was consul late in the 5th century BC. As with other praenomina, the name may have been more widely used by the plebeians and in the countryside; but writing in the 1st century BC, Marcus Terentius Varro described it as an archaic praenomen, no longer in general use.

Origin and Meaning of the Name
The etymology of Hostus has long baffled scholars. Chase proposed that Hostus might be derived from hostis, "stranger, foe", but this meaning seems difficult to explain. An alternative explanation is suggested by the Etruscan feminine praenomen Hasti, which may originally have been a variant of Fasti, in which the initial consonant has been "worn down". Fasti is believed to be the Etruscan cognate of the Latin name Fausta, in which case it is conceivable that the same process resulted in the development of Hostus from the praenomen Faustus.
