Pavise shield (with Bartolomeo Vivarini’s St. Martin and the Beggar painting on it) and a Middle Age crossbowman.
A pavise (or pavis, pabys, pavesen) is a large convex shield of European origin used to protect the entire body. The pavise was also made in a smaller version for hand to hand combat and for wearing on the back of men-at-arms. It is characterized by its prominent central ridge. The concept of using a shield to cover an archer dates to at least to the writing of Homer’s Iliad, where Ajax uses his shield to cover his half-brother Teucer, an archer, while he would “peer round” and shoot arrows.
The pavise was primarily used by archers and crossbowmen in the medieval period, particularly during sieges. It was carried by a pavisier, usually an archer, or, especially for the larger ones, by a groom. The pavise was held in place by the pavisier or sometimes deployed in the ground with a spike attached to the bottom. While reloading their weapons, crossbowmen would crouch behind them to shelter against incoming missile attacks.
Pavises were often painted with the coat of arms of the town where they were made, and sometimes stored in the town arsenal for when the town came under attack. Religious icons such as St. Barbara and St. George were featured on the front of pavises. Even the Hussite chalice was featured on pavises during the Hussite Wars. Most pavises were covered in a coarse, carpet base like canvas, before being painted with oil and egg-based paints. Only 200 or so exist today but many were present in the period.

Margaret Evelyn Osborne duPont (born March 4, 1918) is a former World No. 1 American female tennis player.
DuPont won a total of 37 singles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles Grand Slam titles, which places her fourth on the all-time list despite never entering the Australian Championships. She won 25 of her Grand Slam titles at the U.S. Championships, which is an all-time record.

Career
DuPont won 6 Grand Slam singles titles, saving match points in the finals of the 1946 French Championships (versus Pauline Betz Addie) and 1948 U.S. Championships (versus LouiseBrough Clapp). In terms of games played, the 1948 final at the U.S. Championships is the longest women’s singles final ever played at that tournament (48 games).
DuPont teamed with Brough Clapp to win 20 Grand Slam women’s doubles titles, which ties Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver for the most Grand Slam titles ever won by a women’s doubles team. DuPont and Brough Clapp won nine consecutive titles at the U.S. Championships from 1942 through 1950. They won that tournament 12 of the 14 years they entered as a team. Their 12 titles is an all-time record for a women’s doubles team at the U.S. Championships, easily surpassing the four career titles won by the teams of Navratilova and Shriver, Doris Hart and Shirley Fry Irvin, and Sarah Palfrey Cooke and Alice Marble. DuPont won a total of 13 women’s doubles titles at the U.S. Championships, which also is an all-time record, as is her 10 consecutive women’s doubles titles at the U.S. Championships from 1941 through 1950.
DuPont won more mixed doubles titles at the U.S. Championships than any other player. She won nine titles, including four with William Talbert (a record for a mixed doubles team at the U.S. Championships) and three with Neale Fraser.
According to John Olliff and Lance Tingay of The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, DuPont was ranked in the world top ten from 1946 through 1950, 1953, 1954, 1956, and 1957 (no rankings issued from 1940 through 1945), reaching a career high of World No. 1 in those rankings from 1947 through 1950. DuPont was included in the year-end top ten rankings issued by the United States Lawn Tennis Association in 1938, 1941 through 1950, 1953, 1956, and 1958. She was the top ranked U.S. player from 1948 through 1950.
From 1938 through 1958, DuPont went undefeated in ten Wightman Cup competitions, winning her ten singles and nine doubles matches. She also captained the U.S. team nine times, winning eight.
DuPont married William duPont in 1947 and later interrupted her career to give birth to a son. She was one of the few women to win a major title after childbirth but never played the Australian Championships because her husband would not let her. “They didn’t start to invite people down there and pay their expenses until I got married, and that was wintertime and Will’s vacation time, and I just never got to go. He threatened to divorce me if I went to Australia, so I never went. He had that respiratory trouble, and he wanted me to come to California with him. He thought I should be with him. That was that.”
Awards
She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1967. The Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame inducted du Pont in 1999.

Martin Gumpert (November 12, 1897 – April 18, 1955) was a Jewish German-born American physician and writer.
In 1936, he went to America. In 1942, he became a US citizen. Gumpert provided the German author Thomas Mann with information about the course of the disease of syphilis. Mann used this information in writing his Faust novel, Doktor Faustus: das Leben des deutschen Tonsetzers Adrian Leverkühn, erzählt von einem Freunde. (Cited by Gunilla Bergsten in Thomas Mann’s Doctor Faustus (University of Chicago Press, 1963, p. 57.)

Kenya toured Zimbabwe for a series of five One Day Internationals in February and March 2006. Before this tour, Kenya had only played five one-day internationals since reaching the semi-final of the 2003 World Cup, all of which they had lost. They were keen to acquire more international experience before the 2007 World Cup. Zimbabwe had suffered a series of player disputes and poor results amid continuing political troubles in that country, leading to their self-suspension from Test cricket.
The series ended in a 2-2 draw, with one match abandoned. Kenya had never previously drawn or won a one-day international series.
Schedule and results
1st ODI, Bulawayo, 25 February. Kenya 227/9 (50 overs), Zimbabwe 231/2 (43.3 overs). Zimbabwe won by 8 wickets.
2nd ODI, Bulawayo, 26 February. Kenya 284/7 (50 overs), Zimbabwe 205 (46.2 overs). Kenya won by 79 runs.
3rd ODI, Harare, 1 March. Kenya 134 (42.5 overs), Zimbabwe 69 (22.5 overs). Kenya won by 65 runs.
4th ODI, Harare, 3 March. Match reduced to 44 overs per side. Zimbabwe 231/9 (44 overs), Kenya 122 (36.5 overs). Zimbabwe won by 230 runs.
5th ODI, Harare, 4 March. Match abandoned without a ball being bowled.

Starlight is a French literary fairy tale attributed to Henriette-Julie de Murat.
Synopsis
A king whose kingdom was constantly imperiled by another king had an only son who had fallen in love with a slave, Starlight. Her family was quite unknown, but he cared nothing for anything but her. Angry, the queen had the slave imprisoned in a tower. A beautiful white cat kept her company. The prince despaired. His father, because of a new attack, implored him to lead the army. The prince did, and the father promised that no one had harmed Starlight and that he would see her when he returned. He led the army and utterly defeated the other king’s, capturing the king himself, but the king reneged on his promise. The prince freed the captive king, and the king and queen had him imprisoned. One day, Starlight confided to her cat that she was certain he had forgotten her, and the cat answered that he was also imprisoned. The cat then revealed herself as the fairy Ermine White, and told her that she was a princess. She gave her a box to be opened in her worst need, turned the tower in a stair for her escape, and made her promise to never tell who had freed her. She found the prince, and they concluded that she had to hide, which would cause his parents to free him, and send him a message of her refuge. The white cat warned them that the king’s men were coming, and Starlight fled.
She found her way to the forest, where centaurs found her; this was where they had taken refuge after the unpleasantness with the Lapiths at the wedding of Pirithous. They let her stay with them, and one bore her message to the court, that the prince could hunt a white doe with silver hooves in their forest. They met there, and went to the sea, where they found a marvelous ship awaiting them, with white cats as the sailors. They set sail, but Starlight confided in the prince how she had been rescued, and a storm overtook them. The waves separated them, carrying them to different countries. The prince was carried to a quiet country, where the women did the fighting, with crabapples. He found the king abed, resting, while his wife fought the war; he thrashed him and made him go to war himself; once there, he routed the enemies. But the kingdom was attacked and defeated, and the prince taken prisoner, whereupon he was put in a boat and lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a ship that sailed by itself, back to his parents’ kingdom, where he learned they had died of grief, and he was now king. He made peace with the centaurs but was always sad. His subjects proposed that he marry; he told them that he wished to marry only Starlight, but even a reward brought no news of her.
Starlight had washed ashore and been found by a king who sheltered her. One day, his queen asked her her story, and telling it, she revealed she was their long-lost daughter. Her father resolved to marry her to a neighboring king. She opened the box and was surrounded by a cloud that darkened her skin and made her ugly. The fairy Ermine-White carried her off, back to her prince, and in his court, she became herself again. They married.
