"'Milten Draživojević 1332–43) was ažupan (county lord) in the land of Hum, who is mentioned as serving the Banate of Bosnia between 1332 and 1335. He was known for robbing the Republic of Ragusa. Milten was the son of Dražen Bogopenec (fl. 1306), known from sources as a robber. The family (later known as Bogopanković) was prominent in the early 14th century, although information is scarce. Milten is mentioned for the first time in 1332, as a follower of Bosnian Ban Stephen II. Hum was a border province between Serbia and Bosnia, and became part of Bosnia in the 1320s. In May 1335, Milten and his relative Vidomir looted Ragusan Manuçe de Mençi in Onogošt (Nikšić). On 24 May 1335, Milten and his son Sanko "from Zagorje" (de Sacorie) are mentioned as Bosnian subjects. The next year, on 5 July 1336, vojvoda Ružir and župan Milten are mentioned as Serbian subjects. In autumn that year, King Stefan Dušan advocated reconciliation between Serbian feudals and the Republic of Ragusa, in which these two restless feudals are prominent. His son Sanko, a Bosnian magnate, is the eponymous founder of the Sanković family.

"Stephen (Steve) R. Larter is a Canadian Emeritus Professor of geochemistry at the University of Calgary. Dr. Larter was appointed as associate vice- president (research – innovation) (AVPR-I), effective Feb. 25, 2019 at the University of Calgary.https://ucalgary.ca/news/stephen-larter-appointed- associate-vice-president-research-innovation Dr. Larter has been a co-founder of numerous technology startup companies, including Gushor Inc. (now part of Schlumberger), and is a chief scientist of the Creative Destruction Lab- Rockies. He currently advises several university-based student, postdoctoral, and faculty startups. He has also worked on transition technologies for zero- emission energy recovery, including direct hydrogen or electricity production from oil and gas fields and for capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide on a large scale.https://ucalgary.ca/news/stephen-larter-appointed-associate-vice- president-research-innovation Dr. Larter has worked in research and development in the oil and gas industry, as well as the universities of Oslo and Newcastle. A recipient of numerous academic and civil awards, Dr. Larter is a fellow of the Royal Society, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and a foreign member of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Arts.https://ucalgary.ca/news/stephen-larter-appointed-associate-vice- president-research-innovation Early life Steve Larter got his BS degree in natural sciences from University of Cambridge in 1974. A year later he got his Master of Science degree in both organic geochemistry and organic petrology from Newcastle University and in 1978 got his PhD in petroleum geochemistry from the same alma mater. From 1979 to 1986 he worked as Senior Geochemist Researcher at the Unocal Corporation and from 1987 to 1989 was a visiting professor of petroleum at the University of Oslo in Norway. From 1989 to 2015 he held a position as J B Simpson professor of geology at the Newcastle University and then became Emeritus Professor in the same field and at the same place. As of 2004 he works as a Canada Research Chair at University of Calgary. Research One of Larter's earliest articles dated to 1980 was about melanoidins and how they are similar to kerogens. In 1989 Larter studied calcite and kaolinite which were formed during late Cimmerian erosion. The same year he traveled to Huldra and Veslefrikk fields and compared his findings. By comparing them, he discovered that addition of saline at Huldra field evolved the fluids replacing that way paleometeoric water, which can not be found at Veslefrikk field. In June 1993, Larter have studied petroleum on Ula oil field by collecting quartz, albite, and orthoclase minerals. By collecting and studying them he and his team discovered why Ula's oil field changes so rapidly. Awards Larter is a fellow of the Royal Society as well as it branch in Canada. *William Smith Medal (1998) *Friendship Medal (2000) *CSPG Medal of Merit (2012, 2014) *Treibs Medal (2014) References External links * 20th-century births Living people Alumni of the University of Cambridge Alumni of Newcastle University University of Calgary faculty University of Oslo faculty Fellows of the Royal Society Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada Year of birth missing (living people) Place of birth missing (living people) "
