Ausiàs March was a medieval Valencian poet and knight from Gandia, Valencia. He is considered as one of the most important poets of the "Golden Century" of Catalan literature. Not much is known of March's life, he was born in 1400 to a Valencian noble family. His father, Pere March, was himself a poet and served at the court of the younger brother of King Alfonso IV, Peter, his uncle, Jaume March II, was a poet. March was one of the two children of Lionor of Ripoll. In 1413, the still-young March became head of his family—part of the Valencian petty nobility—upon the death of his father. From a young age he took part in the expeditions that King Alfons el Magnànim carried out in the Mediterranean. After returning from these expeditions in 1427, he settled in Gandia. After his return, he would never again leave the region. March was twice married: first to Isabel Martorell, to Joana Escorna. In 1450, he moved from Gandia to Valencia, it was there that he died on March 3, 1459. While March himself was buried in his family's chapel at the Valencia Cathedral, his two wives and family are buried in the Monastery of Sant Jeroni de Cotalba.

Five illegitimate children but no legitimate heirs have been attributed to him. Inheriting an easy fortune from his father, Pere March—the treasurer to the Duke of Gandia—and enjoying the powerful patronage of Charles of Viana, prince of Aragon, March was able to devote himself to poetical composition, he was an undisguised follower of Petrarch, carrying the imitation to such a point that he addressed his Cants d'amor to a lady whom he professed to have seen first in church on Good Friday. So far as the difference of language allows, he reproduced the rhythmical cadences of his model, but this should be qualified as the medieval tradition of locus communis requested this following; this is something Petrarch himself did and it need not to be stressed. March is a original and idiosyncratic poet. In the Cants de mort he touches a note of brooding sentiment peculiar to himself, it can be said that he developed Petrarch's rhetoric and used it for more inner psychological meditations, as other major poets like Camões and Shakespeare would.

March was one of the first poets to use the local vernacular, instead of the troubadour language, Occitan. His poems are marked by obscurity, a sometimes monotonous morbidity, a conflicting battle between desire and morality, achieved at its apex in the great Cant Spiritual, he was entitled to the supremacy which he enjoyed among his contemporaries, the success of his innovation no doubt encouraged Boscán to introduce the Italian metres into Castilian. His verses were transmitted in manuscript tradition until its first print edition in Valencian in 1543, but they had become known through the Spanish translation in 1539. March's poetry has been set to music by Joan Brudieu and other composers. Monastery of Sant Jeroni de Cotalba Route of the Valencian classics Ford, J. D. M.. "Auzias March". In Herbermann, Charles.

Ali Sayad Shirazi was an Iranian regular military officer. He served as commander of the Ground Force during Iran–Iraq War, he was assassinated in 1999 while serving as the deputy chief of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff, the second-highest military office in Iran. He had directed several of Iran's major offensives in the war with Iraq in the 1980s. Shirazi was born in Kabud Gonbad Rural District, Iran, on 13 June 1944, his father being a non-commissioned officer in the Army motivated him to join and in 1964 he joined as a cadet. Shirazi was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Artillery and in 1974, he was sent to the United States for further military education; when he returned to Iran he showed opposition to the policies of the Pahlavi government and participated in some street demonstrations. He joined the opposition movement against the Shah. During the 1979 revolution, he served in the 64th Infantry Division in Urumiyeh, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the Iranian armed forces.

During the Iran–Iraq War Sayad Shirazi became one of the most important generals of Iran. In 1981, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini appointed him commander of the Ground Forces of the Iranian Army. In 1982, he led the Iranian Pasdaran and Basij soldiers to victory in the Iranian Operation Undeniable Victory, this was the first time Iran was able to defeat Iraq in a major battle, Iran broke through Iraq's "impenetrable" defense lines and expelled them from the Dezful-Shush area, this operation is considered by many as the turning point in the war. During Iran's attempt to capture Basra with Operation Ramadan Shirazi was said: We will continue the war until Saddam Hussein is overthrown so that we can pray at Karbala and Jerusalem. In 1986, he was named member of the Supreme Defense Council. However, three weeks after this appointment Shirazi was relieved of his post as commander of the ground forces. In 1988, the People's Mujahedin of Iran with help of Saddam Hussein attacked West-Iran and battled Iranian forces for Kermanshah.

Iran smashed them with their counter offensive: Operation Mersad, led by Shirazi. He led other successful military operations against Iraq, such as, Operation Zafar 7. In 1989, Shirazi was awarded the highest military distinction in the Iranian armed forces, the Fath medal. A clash and disagreement over strategy to be adopted in the Iran-Iraq war emerged between Shirazi and Mohsen Rezaee, commander of the Revolutionary Guards, in July 1986; when this rivalry became public, Ayatollah Khomeini met them in his residence on 19 July 1986 and urged them to "seek unity", telling them "You must endeavor, not to think in terms of being members of the Armed Forces or those of the Guards Corps or of the Basij forces.... We must understand that if there were to be any disputes among you... not only are we doomed here and now, but we are guilty before God." It remains unclear why, Mohsen Rezaee, who had little military experience was in a technical dispute with a senior general. There is some controversy on.

At the time, Ali Sayyad Shirazi was seen as among "the most hawkish of Iran’s military and civilian leaders, those who most advocated for continuing the war into Iraq." Shirazi used harsh counterinsurgency methods against the rebellious Kurds. Many within the regular army did not like the idea of suppressing Iranians if they were minorities from the periphery; some army personnel deserted from the front in the Sanandaj region during the battles with the Kurdish irregulars. 14 A senior army aviation officer was tried and executed in Isfahan for his refusal to participate in the war against the Kurdish insurgents. On 10 April 1999, 6:45 local time, Shirazi was assassinated outside his house while on his way to work. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a message on Shirazi's martyrdom. Iranian ex-President Khatami described him as "a selfless commander of Islam and honorable son of Iran." Thousands of people attended his state funeral. Shirazi has had several streets and military complexes named after him, including a subway station and a highway in Tehran.

Itaya amicorum is a medium-size fan palm, native to Brazil and Peru. It is the only species in the genus Itaya, it was unknown to science until 1972, when it was discovered on the bank of the Itaya River in the Peruvian Amazon. Itaya amicorum is a single-stemmed palm with fan-shaped leaves; the stems reach a height of up to 4 metres with a diameter of 9 to 10 centimetres. Plants have between 11 and 25 leaves which have a circular blade, about 2 m in diameter, split into 10 to 16 broad leaflets, a long petiole; the leaves have a silver-grey underside. Itaya amicorum is pleonanthic—it flowers over the course of its lifespan—and hermaphroditic; the flowers are whitish in colour, while the fruit are yellowish-green, 2 to 2.5 cm long, 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter. Itaya is a monotypic genus—it includes only a single species, I. amicorum. The species was first collected in 1972 along the Rio Itaya in Peru, was described by Harold E. Moore the same year. In the first edition of Genera Palmarum, Natalie Uhl and John Dransfield placed the genus Itaya in the subfamily Coryphoideae, the tribe Corypheae and the subtribe Thrinacinae Subsequent phylogenetic analysis showed that the Old World and New World members of the Thrinacinae were not related.

As a consequence of this and related genera were places in their own tribe, Cryosophileae. Itaya amicorum is found only in the western Amazon basin in Brazil and Peru. Thought to be endangered due to its narrow distribution, the species is now known to be more distributed; the IUCN Red List categorises the species as data deficient. The Miraña, an indigenous Amerindian group in the Amazon burn the trunks of Itaya amicorum in order to extract salt from them; the leaves are used for thatch
