title: Max Kruse (sculptor)

text:
Carl Max Kruse (14 April 1854, Berlin - 26 October 1942, Berlin) was a German sculptor and member of the Berlin Secession. His wife was the doll-maker and designer Käthe Kruse.

Life
From 1874 to 1877, he attended the University of Stuttgart, majoring in architecture. He also studied art and entered the Prussian Academy of Arts, where his teachers were Fritz Schaper and Albert Wolff, completing his studies in 1879. His statue Siegerbote von Marathon (The Messenger from Marathon) brought him the "Prix-de-Rome" from the Prussian Academy of Arts, which included a stipendium that enabled him to make a study trip to Rome from 1881 to 1882.

He was also an inventor. His Verfahren zur Vervollkommnung von Lithopanien (Method for the Perfection of Lithophanes) and a Bildhauerkopiergerät (Sculpture Copier; apparently some sort of automated pointing machine) were patented in 1897. For Max Reinhardt, he designed one of the first Cycloramas from bits and pieces of plastic.

In 1908, he joined the Berlin Secession. The following year, he married his mistress, Katharina (Käthe) Simon, who later became famous as a designer of dolls. They had seven children in addition to the four he had from a previous marriage. In 1913, he became a member of the Prussian Academy. He wrote a short book describing his sculptural techniques and proposing new ones in 1925. Although he made his headquarters in Berlin, he travelled extensively, spending time in the Monastery of  Hiddensee and Bad Kösen.

His youngest son, also named Max, is an author of children's books. A daughter from his first marriage, , became a painter.

title: Godswalk

text:
Godswalk (9 February 1974 – 1 December 1988) was an American-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. A specialist sprinter, he won eight of his eleven races in a racing career which lasted from the spring of 1976 until September 1977. As a two-year-old he won five of his seven races including the Norfolk Stakes and was rated the best colt of his generation in Ireland. In the following year he established himself as one of the best sprinters in Europe, winning three of his four races including the Ballyogan Stakes in Ireland and the King's Stand Stakes in England. After his retirement from racing, Godswalk had some success as a sire of winners in Europe and Australia.

Background
Godswalk was a "strong, compact" grey horse with a white star bred in Maryland by Glade Valley Farms and Peter Fuller. He was one of the best horses sired by Fuller's horse Dancer's Image who won the 1968 Kentucky Derby but was disqualified after traces of phenylbutazone were discovered in a post-race urinalysis. As a breeding stallion, he stood in Europe and Japan, siring several other good winners including the multiple Group One winner Lianga and the July Cup winner Saritamer. Godswalk's dam Kate's Intent was a successful racehorse in Canada.

As a yearling, Godswalk was sent to the Saratoga sales where he was bought for $61,000. He entered into the ownership of Patrick Gallagher and was sent to race in Europe where he was trained in Ireland by Christy Grassick.

Racing career

1976: two-year-old season
As a two-year-old, Godswalk was campaigned exclusively over the minimum distance of five furlongs. After finishing third on his racecourse debut he recorded impressive wins in minor events at the Curragh and Phoenix Park. At the Curragh in May he won the Marble Hill Stakes, taking the lead at half way and accelerating away from the field in the closing stages to beat Digitalis by five lengths, with Piney Ridge in third. In June, Godswalk was sent to England and moved up in class to contest the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. Ridden by Derrmot Hogan he started the 8/13 favourite against four opponents. He took the lead two furlongs from the finish and won by four lengths from the Italian colt Alpherat, with Hogan sitting motionless in the closing stages. Godswalk started favourite for the Phoenix Stakes, but proved no match for the filly Cloonlara and was beaten into second place by a margin of six lengths. The colt was scheduled to return to England for the Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot in October but the meeting was abandoned owing to the exceptionally wet, heavy ground. A week later, Godswalk ended his season in the Waterford Testimonial Stakes at the Curragh and won easily by four lengths at odds of 1/3.

At the end of the year, the colt was bought for £300,000 by the British businessman Robert Sangster and moved to the stable of Vincent O'Brien at Ballydoyle.

1977: three-year-old season
As a three-year-old, Godswalk did not reappear until early June when he contested the Ballyogan Stakes over five furlongs at Leopardstown Racecourse. Ridden by Tommy Murphy he won very easily by six lengths from Piney Ridge. Thirteen days later the colt was sent to England and was ridden by Lester Piggott in the King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot. He started the 4/6 favourite against a field which included Girl Friend (Prix Maurice de Gheest), Gentilhombre (Cork and Orrery Stakes, Prix de l'Abbaye) and Raga Navarro (Palace House Stakes). Godswalk stumbled exiting the starting stalls, losing three lengths, but recovered quickly. He took the lead entering the final furlong and won by three quarters of a length and two lengths  from Girl Friend and Haveroid.

It was intended that the colt would step up to six furlongs for the July Cup, but was ruled out of the race with a blood disorder. In the William Hill Sprint Championship at York Racecourse in August, Godswalk again started odds-on favourite and was ridden by Piggott. He was among the leaders from the start and looked the likely winner when going to front two furlongs from the finish, but began to struggle in the closing stages and was beaten a head by Haveroid. In September, Godswalk started favourite for Ireland's most valuable sprint race, the Airlie/Coolmore/Castle Hyde Championship Stakes over six furlongs at the Curragh for which his opponents included Sweet Mint and Cawston's Clown (Coventry Stakes). Godswalk went clear of the field approaching the final quarter mile and won by two and a half lengths despite being eased down in the closing stages.

Assessment
There was no International Classification of European two-year-olds in 1976: the official handicappers of Britain, Ireland and France compiled separate rankings for horses which competed in those countries. In the Irish Free Handicap he was rated the best two-year-old colt, seven pounds behind the filly Cloonlara, and ahead of The Minstrel and Nebbiolo. In the British Free Handicap he was rated the second best juvenile of the season, five pound behind J O Tobin. In the same year, the independent Timeform organisation awarded Godswalk a rating of 123, eight pounds below their leading two-year-old Blushing Groom. In 1977, Godswalk was rated 130 by Timeform, one pound behind their leading sprinter Gentilhombre and eight pounds behind their horse of the year Alleged.

Stud career
Godswalk stood as a breeding stallion for the Coolmore Stud and was also "shuttled" to stand in Australia for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season. His most notable offspring was the 1984 British Horse of the Year Provideo, but he also sired St Jude (Canterbury Guineas), Shearwalk (third in the 1983 Epsom Derby), Celestial Dancer (Prix de Meautry) and Godstone (Richmond Stakes). Godswalk died in Australia on 1 December 1988 at the age of fourteen.

Pedigree

Godswalk was inbred 4 × 4 to Discovery, meaning that this stallion appears twice in the fourth generation of his pedigree.

title: Adelle of the Saracens

text:
Adelle of the Saracens (active 12th century) was an Italian physician. She belonged to the Saracinensa family and was a lay teacher at the medical faculty of Salerno. Her medical practice stemmed from roots in the Salerno Medical School and she practiced Medieval and Early Italian Renaissance Ideals in her medicine including Humanism.

Background
Saracen ( ) was a term used by European Christians during the Middle Ages to refer to Muslims—usually Arabs, Turks, and Iranians. The term's meaning evolved during its history of usage: in the early centuries of Christianity, both Greek and Latin writings used "Saracen" to refer to the people who lived in and near what was designated by the Romans as Arabia Petraea and Arabia Deserta. During the Early Middle Ages, the term came to be associated with the tribes of Arabia.

Salerno Medical School
Salerno encompassed an important medical school founded during the Medieval times. It based its curriculum and lifestyle off of many different influences such as Greek, Arabic, Latin, and Hebrew. As one of the first medical schools that was founded around the 9th century in Italy, it greatly influenced the medical works and thought process of the Medieval Times. In addition, women also had the ability to contribute their ideals at this school. This was particularly significant because during this time period, a woman's medical opinion was still narrowly considered as substantial, or even correct. Cultural shifts like these with women in the medical field gave physicians newer ways of thinking. This includes their contributions like backing the idea of the requirement of physicians to have certifications to practice and adding a different viewpoint to some anatomy textbooks which were pertinent in the development of modern-day medicine.

Humanism
Going into the Italian Renaissance, many medical professionals and physicians pursued their careers with a humanist way of thinking. Humanism refers to the sole focus on humans as a physical being rather than seeing them as being influenced by any supernatural forces. It was a more rational thought process and strictly emphasized the focus on human needs. These influences were particularly seen in translation efforts of Greek manuscripts.

title: Adelmota of Carrara

text:
Adelmota of Carrara (fl. 1318–1324) (also known as Adelmota Maltraverse) was an Italian physician and obstetrician from Padua. The daughter of the Count of Castelnuovo, she married James, Prince of Carrara.

Little is known about Adelmota except the notes by the writer Joannes Rhodius (1587–1659) (a Danish scholar who lived in Padua in the 17th century) who stated in his book Scribonius Largus that Adelmota was "a most learned physician" and especially skilled as an obstetrician.

According to Baudouin, she practiced medicine between 1318–1324.
