Sigismund II Augustus was King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, the son of Sigismund I the Old, whom Sigismund II succeeded in 1548. He was the first ruler of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the last male monarch from the Jagiellonian dynasty. Sigismund was the only legitimate son of Sigismund the Old. From the beginning he was extensively educated as a successor. In 1529 he was crowned vivente rege. Sigismund Augustus continued a tolerance policy towards minorities and maintained peaceful relations with neighbouring countries, with the exception of the Northern Seven Years' War which aimed to secure Baltic trade. Under his patronage the culture flourished in Poland. Sigismund Augustus' rule is considered as the apex of the Polish Golden Age. In 1569 he oversaw the signing of the Union of Lublin between Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and introduced an elective monarchy. Sigismund Augustus married three times, he was involved in several relationships with mistresses, the most famous being Barbara Radziwiłł, who became Sigismund's second wife and Queen of Poland in spite of his mother's disapproval.

The marriage was fiercely opposed by the royal court and the nobility. Barbara died five months after her coronation due to ill health, rumours circulated that she was poisoned. Sigismund wedded Catherine of Austria, but remained childless throughout his life. Sigismund Augustus was last male member of the Jagiellons. Following the death of his sister Anna in 1596 the Jagiellonian dynasty came to an end. Royal titles, in Latin: "Sigismundus Augustus, Dei gratia rex Poloniae, magnus dux Lithuaniae, nec non terrarum Cracoviae, Siradiae, Cuiaviae, dominus hereditarius Russiae, Prussiae, Podlachiae, Elbingensis, Samogitiae, Livoniae etc. dominus et heres." English translation: "Sigismund Augustus, by the Grace of God, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania and heir of the Lands of Kraków, Sieradz, Łęczyca, Kiev, Hereditary Lord of Ruthenia, Prussia, Podlaskie, Culmer Land, Pomerania, Livonia etc. Lord and heir" Sigismund Augustus was born in Kraków on 1 August 1520 to Sigismund I the Old and his wife, Bona Sforza of Milan.

His paternal grandparents were Casimir IV Jagiellon, King of Poland, Elizabeth of Austria. Sigismund's maternal grandparents, Gian Galeazzo Sforza and Isabella of Aragon, daughter of King Alfonso II of Naples, both ruled the Duchy of Milan until Sforza's suspicious death in 1494. Throughout his youth, Sigismund Augustus was under the careful watch of Bona. Being the only legitimate male heir to the Polish throne throughout his father's reign, he was well educated and taught by the most renowned scholars in the country, it was his mother's wish to name her only son Augustus, after the first Roman Emperor Gaius Octavius Augustus. However, this decision was met with Sigismund the Old's strong disapproval, who hoped for a lineage of Sigismunds on the Polish throne, it was established that the child will bear two names to settle the conflict. The tradition of adopting Augustus as a second or middle name was observed during the coronation of Stanisław Antoni Poniatowski who became King Stanisław II Augustus in 1764.

In 1530, the ten-year-old Sigismund Augustus was crowned by Primate Jan Łaski as co-ruler alongside his father, in accordance with the vivente rege law. Sigismund the Old hoped to secure his son's succession to the throne and maintain the Jagiellonian dynasty's position in Poland; the move was crucial to silence the members of nobility who were against the Jagiellons and viewed the action as a step towards absolutism. The law was abolished by the Henrician Articles, or the new constitution adopted between nobles and the newly elected king Henry de Valois in 1573; when Sigismund Augustus was co-crowned, Chancellor Krzysztof Szydłowiecki organized a preliminary marriage treaty between the young king and Elizabeth Habsburg, daughter of Emperor Ferdinand I. The marriage was signed on 10–11 November 1530 in Poznań, the arrangement was delayed by Queen Bona Sforza, who detested the new bride; the treaty was renewed on 16 June 1538 in Wrocław by Johannes Dantiscus and the betrothal ceremony took place on 17 July 1538 in Innsbruck.

Bona continued to lobby against the marriage and instead proposed Princess Margaret of France to form an alliance with the French against the Habsburgs. On 5 May 1543, Elizabeth's escorted convoy entered Kraków and was greeted with enthusiasm by both the nobles and the townsfolk; the same day 16-year-old Elizabeth married 22-year-old Sigismund Augustus, whom she met for the first time shortly before marriage vows. The ceremony was performed at the Wawel Cathedral and the wedding continued for two weeks; as Elizabeth was granted the title of Queen, her mother-in-law Bona began to plot against the new monarchess. As a result, the newly wedded couple decided to reside in Vilnius, far from the royal court. Despite the initial euphoria demonstrated by royal subjects, the marriage was unsuccessful from the beginning. Sigismund Augustus did not find Elizabeth attractive and continued to have extramarital affairs with several

The Church of St. Joseph in Greenwich Village is a Roman Catholic parish church located at 365 Avenue of the Americas at the corner of Washington Place in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Constructed in 1833–1834, it is the oldest church in New York City built to be a Roman Catholic sanctuary. St. Joseph's Parish was founded by Bishop John Dubois in 1829. At the time St. Joseph's Parish began, the population of New York, numbering 203,000, was concentrated in the southern half of Manhattan. Early church records indicate that St. Joseph's first congregants were predominantly Irish-Americans; the parish boundaries stretched from Canal Street to 20th Street, from Broadway to the Hudson River. As additional parishes were created, St. Joseph's boundaries were trimmed, spanning from Houston Street to 14th Street, from University Place to Hudson Street. St. Joseph's was the sixth parish to be established in Manhattan, among those still in existence in the Archdiocese of New York.

The five parishes that preceded it were St. Peter's on Barclay Street, St. Patrick's Old Cathedral on Mulberry Street, St. Mary's on Grand Street, St. James on Oliver Street and Transfiguration on Mott Street. After several years in a rented hall at Grove and Christopher Streets, the cornerstone of the present church was laid on June 10, 1833; the church was designed by John Doran in the Greek Revival style, but it has been extensively renovated over the years. Two fires, one in 1855 and the other in 1885, caused extensive damage to the interior. Renovations after the second fire were supervised by Arthur Crooks; the interior of the church was restored in 1972. At the time, a fresco of the Transfiguration, after Raphael's original in the Vatican, was discovered under layers of paint and restored. Structural restoration work was performed in 1991–1992. St. Joseph's School was established in 1855, with Sisters of Charity teaching the neighborhood girls and Christian Brothers teaching the boys; the first building was along Leroy Street, replaced in 1897 by a new building adjacent to the church.

The first public education program on AIDS held in Greenwich Village was held at St. Joseph's; the first meeting of Gay Men's Health Crisis took place there. The event organized by parishioner David Pais was planned to be held in the school, but so many people attended that it had to be moved to the church; when then-pastor Aldo Tos retired in 2003, the Archdiocese of New York asked the Dominican Order's Province of Saint Joseph, staffing the nearby Catholic Center at New York University, to assume the responsibility of staffing priests for the parish. The result was a merger of the parish with NYU's Catholic Center in December 2003. Tos was removed from ministry following accusations of sexual abuse of a minor, which were determined to be credible by the Archdiocese of New York, his laicization process was pending at his death in 2014. The Catholic Center provides a wide spectrum of activities, programs and outreach programs, it is the center of five New York University student clubs and for five groups of students and non-students.

In addition to its campus ministry and other missions, the parish organized a weekly soup kitchen in 1982 that operated for more than 30 years and has continued as an independent charity since 2015.

Man from Two Worlds is an album by American jazz drummer Chico Hamilton featuring performances recorded in 1963 for the Impulse! label. The CD reissue added four compositions from Hamilton's previous album Passin' Thru as bonus tracks; the Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Although it tended to get overlooked at the time, one of drummer Chico Hamilton's finest groups was his 1962–1963 quartet/quintet...this band placed a stronger emphasis on melody and softer sounds than the more avant-garde groups of the time but still pushed away at musical boundaries".

Mahajangasuchus is an extinct genus of crocodyliform which had blunt, conical teeth. The type species, M. insignis, lived during the Late Cretaceous. It was a large predator, measuring up to 3 m with a weight up to 360 kg. Sereno et al.. Placed the genus within the family Trematochampsidae, although a more recent study by Turner and Calvo placed it within Peirosauridae, it was placed in the newly constructed family Mahajangasuchidae along with the genus Kaprosuchus by Sereno and Larrson.
