paragraph: Aretas III

paragraph: Aretas III ( "Ḥārthah"; "Arétās") was king of the Nabataean kingdom from 87 to 62 BCE. Aretas ascended to the throne upon the death of his brother, Obodas I, in 87 BCE. During his reign, he extended his kingdom to cover what now forms the northern area of Jordan, the south of Syria, and part of Saudi Arabia. Probably the greatest of Aretas' conquests was that of Damascus, which secured his country's place as a serious political power of its time. Nabataea reached its greatest territorial extent under Aretas' leadership.

paragraph: Section::::Conquest of Damascus.

paragraph: Damascus straddled the primary commercial route from the Mediterranean Sea to India and the Middle East. The city was taken from the loosening grip of the Seleucid Empire in 85 BCE by Aretas, who styled himself as Aretas Philhellen ("Philhellen", "friend of the Greeks"). He ordered the mints of Damascus to produce the first silver Nabataean coins, in a Hellenic style and lettering his name in the Greek language instead of Nabatean Aramaic. To further reinforce the new culture of the Nabataeans, Aretas endeavoured to bring architecture of Greek and Roman fashion to the Nabataean capital, Petra, and to new settlements such as Humayma, including a 26.8 km aqueduct. Nabataean rule of Damascus was interrupted in 72 BCE by a successful siege led by the Armenian king Tigranes II. Armenian rule of the city ended in 69 BCE when Tigranes' forces were pulled out to deal with a Roman attack on the Armenian capital, allowing Aretas to re-take the city.

paragraph: Section::::Hyrcanus and the Judean throne.

paragraph: In 67 BCE, Hyrcanus II ascended to the throne of Judea. Scarcely three months later, his younger brother Aristobulus II incited a rebellion, successfully leading the uprising to overthrow Hyrcanus and take the offices of both King and High Priest. Hyrcanus was confined to Jerusalem, where he would continue to receive revenues of the latter office. However, fearing for his life, he fled to Petra and allied himself with Aretas, who agreed to support Hyrcanus after receiving the promise of having the Arabian towns taken by the Hasmoneans returned to Nabataea by Hyrcanus' chief advisor, Antipater the Idumaean.

paragraph: Aretas advanced towards Jerusalem at the head of 50,000 men, besieging the city for several months. Eventually, Aristobulus bribed Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, deputy of the Roman general Pompey. Scaurus ordered Aretas to withdraw his army, which then suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Aristobulus on the journey back to Nabatea.

paragraph: Despite the compliance of Aretas, in 62 BCE Scaurus marched on Petra. However, a combination of the rough terrain and low supplies, obliged Scaurus to seek the aid of Hyrcanus, now High Priest (not king) of Judea, who sent Antipater to barter for peace with Aretas. The siege was lifted in exchange for several hundred talents of silver (to Scaurus himself) and recognition of Roman supremacy over Nabatea. Aretas would retain all Nabataean territory and possessions, becoming a vassal of the Roman Empire.

paragraph: The construction of the Al-Khazneh or 'Treasury' building in Petra is where Aretas III was entombed.

paragraph: Alexandre O'Neill

paragraph: Alexandre Manuel Vahia de Castro O'Neill de Bulhões, GOSE (19 December 1924, in Lisbon – 21 August 1986, in Lisbon) was a Portuguese writer and poet of Irish descent.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He was born at 39 Fontes Pereira de Melo Avenue the son of José António Pereira de Eça O'Neill (Lisbon, c. 1890 – ?), a bank worker, and wife Maria da Glória Vahia de Barros de Castro (17 March 1905 – aft. October 1989), and paternal grandson of writer, poet, conferencewoman and journalist Maria O'Neill.

paragraph: He had an older sister, Maria Amélia Vahia de Castro O'Neill de Bulhões, who became a Nun.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was a self-taught person and worked as a publicitary.

paragraph: Surrealist and concretist poet and writer, and a publicist, who collaborated in many periodicals.

paragraph: In 1948, O'Neill was among the founders of the Lisbon Surrealist Movement, along with Mário Cesariny de Vasconcelos, José-Augusto França and others. His writings soon diverged from Surrealist to form an original style whose poetry reflects a love/hate relationship with his country.

paragraph: His salient characteristics – a disrespect of conventions, both social and literary, an attitude of permanent revolt, playfulness with language, and the use of parody and black humor – are used to form a body of incisive depictions of what is to be Portuguese and his relation with the country.

paragraph: Although most of his works have been lost or are missing or in private collections some of his work was displayed in 2002 at an exhibit on the Surrealist movement.

paragraph: O'Neill was in permanent conflict with Portugal. While other contemporaries wrote poems that protested against national life under Salazar, O'Neill's attack ran deeper. Poems such as "Standing at Fearful Attention" and "Portugal" suggested that the dictatorial regime was a symptom (the worst symptom) of graver ills – lack of courage and smallness of vision – woven into the nation's psyche. Other poems, such as "Lament of the Man Who Misses Being Blind", seemed to hold religion and mysticism responsible for an obscurantism that made change difficult if not impossible.

paragraph: A publicist by profession, famed for inventing some of the most ingenious advertising slogans of his time, O'Neill was unusually adept at manipulating words and using them in an efficacious manner, but he refused to put that talent at the service of a lyrically lofty, feel-good sort of poetry (see 'Simply Expressive').

paragraph: Stridently anti-Romantic, concerned to keep humanity in its place as just one of Earth's species, he did not believe that an especially harmonious world was possible, and he abhorred all attempts to escape the world, whether through mystical or poetical exaltations. His one hope, or consolation, explicitly stated in "St. Francis's Empty Sandal", was in the connection (never entirely peaceful) he felt with other members of the species.

paragraph: Section::::Decorations.

paragraph: He was awarded the degree of Grand Officer of the Order of Saint James of the Sword.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages and children.

paragraph: He married firstly on 27 December 1957 and divorced on 15 January 1971 television and film screenwriter, editor and director Noémia Delgado. The couple had a son:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Alexandre Delgado O'Neill (Lisbon, 23 December 1959 – Lisbon, Portugal, 4 January 1993), a photographer, unmarried and without issue

paragraph: Johan Hedberg

paragraph: Johan "Moose" Hedberg (born 5 May 1973) is a retired Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender. He is currently the goaltending coach and the assistant coach of the San Jose Sharks.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Drafted by the Flyers.

paragraph: Hedberg was drafted in the ninth round, 218th overall, in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers. However the Flyers never invited him from Sweden to a training camp. He was told by the Flyers that he needed to make the Swedish national team, before getting an invite to training camp. Hedberg spent five seasons with Leksands IF from 1992–97, notching a 2.79 goals-against average in 116 games. and did make the Swedish team, however he never received the invite promised to him. He then left Sweden, in 1997, to find work in the North American minor leagues, hoping that a team would notice his abilities. He started with the Baton Rouge Kingfish of the East Coast Hockey League and also played for the Detroit Vipers and Manitoba Moose of the International Hockey League before the Flyers traded Hedberg's rights to the San Jose Sharks in 1998. He returned to Leksands for the 1998-99 season before reporting to San Jose's affiliate, the American Hockey League's Kentucky Thoroughblades for the 1999-2000 season.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Manitoba Moose.

paragraph: At the time, the Sharks were already loaded with terrific goaltenders, all younger than Hedberg, who was ranked no higher than 4th on the Sharks' goaltending depth chart, so after one season, he left the Sharks organization and rejoined Manitoba. Hedberg excelled during his second stint with the Moose in 2000–01, while they were still an unaffiliated team in the final season of the International Hockey League. His play was noticed by the Pittsburgh Penguins' assistant general manager Eddie Johnston. In March 2001, Randy Carlyle, the Moose's coach, pulled Hedberg aside at Winnipeg International Airport and told him he'd been traded to Pittsburgh, along with Bobby Dollas, in exchange for Jeff Norton. He was also informed, by Carlyle, that he was reporting directly to the Penguins.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Pittsburgh Penguins and the Olympics.

paragraph: Hedberg went on to stabilize the Penguins' goaltending position for the remainder of the 2000–01 season. Since Hedberg started a game in Pittsburgh on late notice, still wearing his customized Manitoba Moose helmet which, not surprisingly, had a large moose painted across it, the Pittsburgh crowds quickly nicknamed him "Moose", and would cheer for him after a spectacular save by yelling "Mooooose". This was often heard incorrectly as a boo.

paragraph: He then outdueled Olaf Kölzig, of the Washington Capitals, and Dominik Hasek, of the Buffalo Sabres, to help the Penguins reach the Eastern Conference final. In 2002, Hedberg set career highs with 25 wins and a club-record 66 games with the Penguins. He was then named as the back-up goalie to Tommy Salo, on the Swedish national team and played in the 2002 Winter Olympics. Hedberg started one game for Sweden, posting a victory over Germany.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Vancouver, the lockout and Dallas.

paragraph: He was finally traded to the Vancouver Canucks by Pittsburgh for a second-round selection in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. The Penguins would later use that pick to draft Alex Goligoski. He registered a career-best 2.51 goals-against average in 21 games with Vancouver during the 2003–04 season. He spent the 2004–05 season playing with Leksands IF of the Swedish Second Division, due to the NHL lockout. There he notched a 2.12 GAA in 21 games.

paragraph: Once the lockout ended, Hedberg signed with the Dallas Stars as a free agent on 5 August 2005. He then posted a 12-4-1 record and a 2.67 goals-against average in 19 games with the Stars. On 26 December 2005, Hedberg recorded two assists in a game against the St. Louis Blues. This is the first time a Dallas Stars goalie has ever accomplished this feat, and the first time any goalie in the NHL has done it since Patrick Roy on 29 December 2000. One assist came from a pass that met Stars captain Mike Modano at the Blues' blue line, granting him a 1-on-1 opportunity.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:Atlanta Thrashers.

paragraph: Hedberg signed a two-year contract with Atlanta in July 2006, and served as backup for starter Kari Lehtonen during the first year of that contract. However a long-term injury hindered Lehtonen during the 2007–08 season and Hedberg took over as Atlanta's starting goaltender for much of the season. On 16 June 2008, Hedberg signed a multi-year contract extension with the Thrashers. During the 2009–10 season, he shared time with Ondrej Pavelec as the primary starter after Lehtonen missed most of the season and was then traded. Despite Hedberg's good performance he and the Thrashers parted ways after the season.

paragraph: In May 2011, while the Thrashers relocated to Winnipeg to become the Winnipeg Jets, Hedberg expressed both regret for the franchise's relocation and sympathy for the Thrashers fan-base. He stated; "I think it’s sad for the city. I believe this city can support a team and support it in a good way. Obviously, it’s been some chaotic years pretty much from Day 1 with ownership not being on the same page and I think that has hurt the franchise quite a bit...We’ve kind of made this sort of our second home for five years now and, obviously, the Thrashers were the reason we came here in the first place," Hedberg said. "I know all the people involved. I know all the people working in the front office and in hockey operations and I know a lot of the fans around. They’re hard-core fans that really don’t want to lose the team. So, I would have feeling of (sadness). There’s no doubt this could be a good hockey city, but it needs to be done the right way. This ownership has never given it a chance to do that after it got off on the wrong foot."

paragraph: Hedberg's family, which includes his wife and three daughters, still lives in Atlanta.

paragraph: Section::::Playing career.:New Jersey Devils.

paragraph: On 1 July 2010, Hedberg signed a one-year deal with the New Jersey Devils, which included a no-trade clause. He served as a back-up goalie until starter Martin Brodeur suffered a 6 February injury. His contract was renewed on 1 July 2011, which again included a no-trade clause. During round one of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he was called on to play two periods in game three versus the Florida Panthers.

paragraph: On 2 July 2012, Hedberg signed a two-year deal with the Devils. The contract included a no trade clause. The signing came hours after New Jersey extended the contract of Brodeur two years as well. Hedberg and Brodeur's age would be 41 and 42 respectively when their individual contracts expired.

paragraph: On 4 July 2013, Hedberg was placed on unconditional waivers for the intentions of a compliance buyout. The Devils bought him out as a result of a trade that sent Vancouver Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider to New Jersey.

paragraph: Pieter van Laer

paragraph: Pieter Bodding van Laer (christened 14 December 1599 – 1641 or 1642 or later) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He was active in Rome for over a decade and was known for genre scenes, animal paintings and landscapes placed in the environs of Rome.

paragraph: Pieter van Laer was an active member of the association of Flemish and Dutch artists in Rome known as the Bentvueghels. His nickname in this group ("bent name") was Il Bamboccio. The style of genre painting he introduced was followed by other Northern and Italian painters. These followers became known as the Bamboccianti and a painting in this style as a "Bambocciata" (plural: "Bambocciate"), or .

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Pieter van Laer was born in Haarlem as the second child of Jacob Claesz. Boddingh of Haarlem and Magdalena Heyns of Antwerp. He adopted the surname van Laer only later in life. This surname was probably taken from his brother's godfather. He came from a well to do family and his parents operated a private school in Haarlem started by Magdalena's father, the well-known writer and publisher Peeter Heyns, after whom Pieter van Laer was named.

paragraph: His older brother was Roedolff van Laer, who also became a painter and was known as Roeland van Laer and Orlando van Laer. His youngest brother Nicolaes Bodding became known later in life as Nicolaes Boddingius and was a prominent schoolmaster and minister.

paragraph: Van Lear shared a home in the Via Margutta with Giovanni di Filippo del Camp, whose pupil he is said to have been.

paragraph: Pieter van Laer was possibly a pupil of Esaias van de Velde in Haarlem. His early work shows the influence of this painter as is evidenced by a drawing signed Pieter Bodink (formerly in the collection of A. Welcker), which is close to van de Velde's style. He traveled to Rome in 1625 via France, likely in the company of his brother Roeland. Here he became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mostly Flemish and Dutch artists in Rome who were known for their initiation rituals, which involved a lot of drinking. Pieter van Laer's nickname in Italy was "Il Bamboccio", which means "ugly doll" or "puppet". This was an allusion to van Laer's ungainly appearance, as he is said to have had unusually long legs, short chest and almost no neck. A story explaining how he got this name from a Pulcinello show is to be found in Gorling's "The Galleries of Vienna". Pieter van Laer was also known for his pointed moustache.

paragraph: Through the works he created in Rome Pieter van Laer initiated a new style of genre painting and paintings in this style were named "Bambocciate" after his nickname. He became the inspiration and focal point around which likeminded artists congregated during his stay in Italy.

paragraph: The initial Bamboccianti included Jan Miel, Andries and Jan Both, Karel Dujardin, Johannes Lingelbach and the Italian Michelangelo Cerquozzi. The Frenchman Sébastien Bourdon was also associated with this group during his early career. Other Bamboccianti include Michiel Sweerts, Thomas Wijck, Dirck Helmbreker, Jan Asselyn, Anton Goubau, Willem Reuter, Jacob van Staverden and Johan Filip Lemke.

paragraph: Pieter van Laer had a successful career in Rome. He returned to the Netherlands c. 1639. Here he lived chiefly in Amsterdam and later in Haarlem. The date, place and cause of van Laer's death are unknown. It must have occurred after 1641 when he is known to have made a drawing in a Haarlem song book. It is believed he travelled back to Italy around that time. According to a statement in the testament of his sister made in 1654 there had not been any signs of life from Pieter van Laer in the previous 12 years. The Italian biographer Giovanni Battista Passeri stated that van Laer died in the fall of 1642. The Dutch biographer Arnold Houbraken reported that van Laer became depressed at the end of his life and committed suicide by drowning. Other biographers give his death date variously as 1673, 1674 or 1675.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Pieter van Laer is mainly known for his genre scenes set in Italianate landscapes as well as for his landscapes and animal scenes. He also painted some battle scenes. He further engraved a number of plates of animals. He was one of the first artists to develop the painting of cattle as a specialist genre. He left one painting with a religious theme, the "Annunciation to the shepherds" (Museum Bredius, The Hague). This composition is also van Laer's earliest surviving cattle painting. His paintings were typically of a small format.

paragraph: The influence of a long stay in Rome is seen in his treatment of landscape and backgrounds. One of his important contributions is the introduction to Roman painting of new subjects derived from Flemish and Dutch genre paintings including according to a contemporary source, "rogues, cheats, pickpockets, bands of drunks and gluttons, scabby tobacconists, barbers, and other 'sordid' subjects." His subjects also included blacksmiths shoeing horses in grottoes, travelers in front of inns, brigands attacking travelers, military actions, idlers around Roman lime-kilns, markets, feasts and scenes with hunters. He further depicted people playing popular games of chance such as morra as well as excretory functions. Several of his compositions deal with lively scenes from peasant life. His pictures are marked by skillful composition and good drawing. He was especially careful in perspective. Despite their lowly subject matter, van Laer's works themselves sold for high prices and were held in some of the most prestigious collections of his time.

paragraph: The traditional art historical view was that the Bamboccianti style practised by Pieter van Laer offered a realist "true portrait of Rome and its popular life without variation or alteration" of what the artist sees. However, their contemporaries did not generally regard the Bamboccianti as realists. An alternative view of the art of the Bamboccianti is that their works constitute complex allegories that provide a commentary on classical art with a view to bringing the observer to contemplate elevated ideas. They thus stand in a long tradition of paradox in which low or vulgar subjects were the vehicle for conveying important philosophical meanings.

paragraph: While his style of painting was openly disdained by pre-eminent Italian painters in Rome and Bologna, such as Sacchi, Albani, and Reni, this did not translate into a poverty of commissions. In fact, van Laer paintings over time became highly sought after. Initially, the painter must have depended on an open market and dealers, rather than commissions for sales. However, within a decade of work in Rome, he could ask a very respectable price for his paintings. Among those owning his work were Pietro Testa, Cassiano dal Pozzo, the marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani, and later, the Flemish merchant in Naples Gaspar Roomer.

paragraph: Pieter van Laer was an accomplished printmaker and he produced two series of prints of animals. One series of 8 plates of domestic animals published in 1636 in Rome under the title "Various animals" was dedicated to Don Ferdinando Afan de Ribera, the Spanish Viceroy in Naples. This series of engravings had an important influence on the Dutch animal painter Paulus Potter, in particular the way in which van Laer was able to place figures, animals, buildings and trees in a coherent pictorial space. A second set of 6 plates was entitled "Horses" and depicts the bleak lot of horses belonging to poor peasants.

paragraph: "The Departure from the Inn" and "The Shepherds" are held by the Louvre.

paragraph: Kathlyn Williams

paragraph: Kathlyn Williams (born Kathleen Mabel Williams, May 31, 1879 – September 23, 1960) was an American actress, known for her blonde beauty and daring antics, who performed on stage as well as in early silent film. She began her career onstage in her hometown of Butte, Montana, where she was sponsored by local copper magnate William A. Clark to study acting in New York City. She would later appear in numerous films between 1910 and 1932 before retiring from acting. Williams died of a heart attack in Los Angeles at age 81.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Williams was born in Butte, Montana, the only child born to Joseph Edwin "Frank" Williams, a boarding house proprietor, and Mary C. Boe (1846–1908) of Welsh and Norwegian descent. Other sources cite 1885 and 1888 as potential years of birth. However, she is listed on the 1880 United States Census as being one year old as of June 1, 1880.

paragraph: Williams displayed an early interest in becoming an actress during her youth in Butte, which led her to become a member of a community thespian group. She also joined the Woman's Relief Corps that allowed her to showcase her vocal prowess at local recitals. Although she was known for having an adequate singing voice, acting became Williams' main vocation.

paragraph: Williams attended Montana Wesleyan University (now Rocky Mountain College) in Helena during the late 1890s and graduated in 1901, where she excelled in elocution and voice, and her performances were highly praised. In May 1899, she recited "The Gypsy Flower Girl" at her university's annual competition. On May 29, 1900, she received a gold medal for her recitation of "Old Mother Goose" at Wesleyan's declamation contest. She lost her father around 1894 when she was a teenager, and her mother remarried Fred Lavoie in 1895. They divorced the next year.

paragraph: In order to make ends meet, her mother made extra money by renting out homes in nearby Centerville, Montana. Her family was of limited means; therefore, Kathlyn had to rely on the charity of others to pay her way through school; she was sponsored by Butte copper magnate and politician William A. Clark, who paid for her to train at the Sargent School of Acting, better known as the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in New York City.

paragraph: In 1900, her friends held a concert at Sutton's Theater for "Katie", as she was affectionately called, to gather funds to help pay her college tuition. By 1902, she joined a theater touring group called Norris & Hall and Company where she played "Phyllis Ericson" in "When We Were Twenty One", mostly to good reviews. The play toured across the United States toward the end of 1903.

paragraph: In the January 16, 1903 issue of the "Dallas Morning News", an article in Amusements critiqued Williams' performance in "When We Were Twenty-One": "Miss Kathlyn Williams, who assumed the role of Phyllis, is an actress of rare ability, attractiveness, and grace of delivery". Williams began her career with Selig Polyscope Company in Chicago, Illinois and made her first film in 1908 under the direction of Francis Boggs. By 1910, she was transferred to the company's Los Angeles film studio. Williams played "Cherry Malotte" in the first movie based upon Rex Beach's 1906 novel "The Spoilers" in 1914.

paragraph: In 1913, she starred in the thirteen episode adventure film serial, "The Adventures of Kathlyn". She was busy throughout the silent film era but age and the advent of talkies saw her make only five sound films, the last in 1935. Kathlyn evolved from a comedian and serial player in silents to portraying character roles in the early 1930s.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Williams was married three times. Although many biographies erroneously cite her first husband as being Victor Kainer, he was in fact named Otto H. "Harry" Kainer (1876–1952), who ran an import and export business on Wall Street in New York City. They were wed on October 2, 1903, and their son, Victor Hugo, was born in 1905. The Kainers resided at 301 Nicholas Avenue in Manhattan.

paragraph: On May 8, 1905, she successfully sued her husband for $20,000 for not paying her $10,000 on the day of their marriage and for every year of their marriage. The case made headlines in newspapers across the country, and made its way to the New York Supreme Court. They supposedly divorced over Kainer's disapproval of his wife having an acting career, and Williams subsequently obtained a divorce from Kainer in 1909 in Nevada. After the death of her Norwegian born mother in December 1908 and the failure of her marriage, Williams decided to revive her acting career. By 1910, Williams and her young son uprooted themselves to Los Angeles, where she obtained acting jobs. On March 4, 1913, she married Frank R. Allen, also an actor, but the marriage was a failure from the start and lasted a little over a year. On June 30, 1914, she filed for divorce in Los Angeles and listed desertion as the reason as the failure of their marriage.

paragraph: She later married Paramount Pictures executive Charles Eyton on June 2, 1916, in Riverside, California. The couple met approximately ten years earlier in Salt Lake City, Utah. Eyton went there to look over a new play. While there he met Kathlyn, who was a member of the Willard Mack stock company. He and Williams had been engaged earlier but a lover's quarrel broke them up. Eyton was an owner of the Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company. On February 25, 1922, her son, Victor, died suddenly at the age of 16 from complications of influenza at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, and his remains were cremated. Her son was previously enrolled at Harvard Military Academy before he became a student at Hollywood High School. The Eytons eventually divorced in 1931.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: On December 29, 1949, Williams was involved in a deadly automobile accident, which claimed the life of her friend, Mrs. Mary E. Rose, while they were returning home from a social engagement in Las Vegas. As a result of the accident, Williams lost her right leg. On April 8, 1950, Williams sued the estate of Rose for $136,615, citing negligence and claiming that the automobile had inefficient brakes. In June 1951, Williams accepted the offer of $6,500 from the Rose estate.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Williams died of a heart attack in Hollywood, California in 1960. She was found dead in her bedroom at her 1428 North Crescent Heights apartment where she resided for nearly 30 years. Although it was widely reported that Williams became a wheelchair invalid since the loss of her leg, she still traveled and led a productive life. She was cremated. She bequeathed most of her assets, which amounted to nearly $287,000, to charitable institutions such as The McKinley Industrial Home for Boys, the Motion Picture Relief Fund, and to an orthopedic and children's hospital.

paragraph: For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Kathlyn Williams has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7038 Hollywood Blvd.

paragraph: Seiriol

paragraph: Seiriol was an early 6th-century saint, who created a cell at Penmon Priory on Anglesey, off the coast of north Wales. He later moved to Ynys Seiriol (Puffin Island). He was a son of King Owain Danwyn of Rhos.

paragraph: According to legend, he and Saint Cybi were good friends, and would meet weekly near Llanerchymedd, at the Clorach wells. Saint Cybi would walk from Holyhead, facing the rising sun in the morning and setting sun in the evening. Saint Cybi was known as "Cybi Felyn" ("Cybi the Tanned"), as he was tanned during his journey. Seiriol, travelling in the opposite direction, from Penmon, would have his back to the sun. Thus, he was known as "Seiriol Wyn" ("Seiriol the Fair"). Rhyd-y-Saint railway station ("English: Ford of the Saints railway station") on the Red Wharf Bay branch line near Pentraeth was named so, since Seiriol and Cybi are said to have met there.

paragraph: Seiriol was a younger brother of King Cynlas of Rhos and King Einion of Llŷn. His cell at Penmon is said to have been rebuilt by his brothers, as they didn't think his humble residence was good enough. St Seiriol's Well (Ffynnon Seiriol) lies in a small chamber adjoining its remains. Both are protected by Cadw, the publicly funded body responsible for the historic monuments of Wales. Adjacent to them are the church and ruins of a monastery also dating back to Seiriol's day.

paragraph: In his old age, Seiriol retired to Ynys Lannog which subsequently became known (in Welsh) as Ynys Seiriol. Later it would be known to the Vikings as Priestholm, and is known as Puffin Island in English since the 19th century.

paragraph: Saint Seiriol is commemorated 1 February in both the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Trams on the Great Orme Tramway are named after local saints, #6 being Seiriol.

paragraph: Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar

paragraph: Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar was a Nayanar saint, venerated in the Hindu sect of Shaivism. He is generally counted as the sixty-first in the list of 63 Nayanars. While the first part of his name can be spelt as Tirunilakanta, Tirunilakantha, Tiru Neelakanta, Tiru Nilakanta, Nilakantan and Thiruneelakanda, Yazhpanar is spelt as variously as Yalppanar, Yalapannar, Yalpanar and Yazhpaanar. He is described as a companion of Sambandar (first half of the 7th century CE), one of the most prominent Nayanars.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: The life of Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar is described in the Tamil "Periya Puranam" by Sekkizhar (12th century), which is a hagiography of the 63 Nayanars.

paragraph: Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar was born in Erukattanpuliyur in the Chola kingdom. He belonged to the Tamil Panar community of wandering musicians. He was a staunch devotee of the god Shiva, the patron god of Shaivism. An maestro of the Yazh (a lute), he used to travel to various temples, as the bard of Shiva. However, as a travelling minstrel of a low caste, he was allowed to enter the temples and sang and played hymns to Shiva on the yazh, outside the entrance of the shrine. The name "Yazh-panar" denotes his job as the panar player of the yazh.

paragraph: Once, Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar reached Madurai, which was ruled by the Pandyas. As usual, he sang and played the yazh outside the entrance of the Tiru-aalavai temple. In a dream, Shiva ordered the Brahmin priests to bring him inside the shrine as he wanted to listen to Yazhpanar's yazh. The Brahmins brought him to the "garbhagriha" (sanctum sanatorium) of the temple. A heavenly voice suggested that the Nayanar be a given a golden seat, so that the yazh is not placed on the wet temple floor. As ordered, a golden seat was presented to the Nayanar, who stood on it and sang the Lord's glories, playing his yazh.

paragraph: Yazhpanar went to Thiruvarur and played the yazh outside the Thyagaraja Temple there. Thyagaraja, the presiding form of Shiva at Thiruvarur invited him in through the northern entrance, which the god opened for him. The Nayanar entered and played the yazh for Shiva.

paragraph: Yazhpanar continued his journeys and visited many shrines. He finally reached Sirkazhi, home of the Sattainathar Temple and met the young Sambandar. The child saint requested Yazhpanar to play the yazh; the sonorous music won Sambanar's favour. Impressed by Sambandar's devotion, Yazhpanar asked him permission to accompany him and set tune to Sambadar's hymns to Shiva. Sambandar consented. Yazhpanar and his wife Mandangasulamani (described as "virali" or songstress) accompanied the young saint on his travels. The couple sang Sambandar's hymns and Yazhpanar composed music for the hymns on his yazh.

paragraph: Sambanar and Yazhpanar once travelled to the Thillai Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram, where they saw the Brahmin priests of Chidambaram as ganas, attendants of Shiva and bowed to them, as the priests bowed to the Nayanars. The duo also visited Yazhpanar's home-town, Erukattanpuliyur and numerous other shrines of Shiva.

paragraph: At Dharmapuram, the duo went to meet Yazhpanar's mother. The people of Dharmapuram praised Yazhpanar's music, but Yazhpanar credited Sambandar's hymns. Ultimately, Sambandar composed an hymn devoted to Shiva's son Ganesha, which Yazhpanar could not play on the yazh to his satisfaction. The frustrated yazh player decided to break his yazh, but was stopped by the lyricist, who said the musical composition was good enough and Yazhpanar should be content with it.

paragraph: Yazhpanar accompanied Sambanar on his journeys and meetings with other Nayanars like Tiruneelanakka Nayanar, Siruthondar, Muruga Nayanar, Kungiliya Kalaya Nayanar, Appar, the Pandya king Koon Pandiyan, the queen Mangayarkkarasiyar and Kulachirai Nayanar. On a visit to the Brahmin Nayanar Tiruneelanakka, the caste-conscious host was uneasy inviting the Shudra (low-caste) couple of Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar and his wife home. After insistence by Sambanar, the host gave them place to sleep near the "homa kunda", the fire altar used for sacrifices. The fire of homa kunda shone brightly in the night, giving testimony to the couple's devotion. After many pilgrimages, Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar and his wife returned to their home-town.

paragraph: After a while, Sambandar invited Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar to his wedding in Thirumana Nallur (presently known as Achalpuram). After the wedding, Sambandar, his bride and the wedding party went the Shivaloka Thyagar temple of Shiva, in Thirumana Nallur. Sambandar prayed to Shiva, seeking salvation. Shiva appeared as a blazing flame and granted his wish. Then Sambandar, his bride and all the wedding guests, including Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar merged in the Light of Shiva.

paragraph: Section::::Remembrance.

paragraph: One of the most prominent Nayanars, Sundarar (8th century) venerates Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar in the "Tiruthonda Thogai", a hymn to Nayanar saints, calling him the Tirunilakantan, the Panar player of the yazh.

paragraph: Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar is worshipped in the Tamil month of Vaikasi, when the moon enters the Mula nakshatra (lunar mansion). He is depicted with a crown and folded hands (see Anjali mudra), and with the yazh or another lute in the crook of his arm. He receives collective worship as part of the 63 Nayanars. Their icons and brief accounts of his deeds are found in many Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu. Their images are taken out in procession in festivals.

paragraph: Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar was the first to set music to the songs of a Nayanar and set a "precedent for musical performance of the "Tevaram" hymns". The "Tevaram" by Nambiyandar Nambi (11th century) compiles the hymns of Sambandar, Appar and Sundarar. However, the music of the "Tevaram" was lost, until Nambiyandar Nambi reached Tiru Nilakanta Yazhpanar's home-town to recover it. A Panar woman is said to have revealed it to him, which she got to know by a "divine revelation".

paragraph: William Tracy Wallace

paragraph: William Tracy Wallace (November 14, 1880 – 1947), known as W. T. Wallace, was a Canadian-English artist and designer.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Wallace was born in Milton, Ontario in 1880. He studied at the Ontario College of Art and was a member of the Toronto Art Students' League. He took his first job with the Toronto Lithographing Company, later becoming a staff artist and reporter at "Saturday Night".

paragraph: Section::::Publishing career.

paragraph: In 1902 Wallace immigrated to England with his business partners, Archibald Abernathy Martin, Thomas Garland Greene and Norman Mills Price. The group briefly studied at Goldsmiths' Technical and Recreative Institute and the Westminster School of Art before establishing Carlton Studios, an advertising and publishing graphics house based in London.

paragraph: Carlton Studios became the largest graphic design company in the United Kingdom, reaching a clientele that included Boots the Chemists, Sandeman and State Express 555. The firm also claimed to have introduced the "studio idea" to Great Britain. In December 1903 J. E. H. MacDonald, future co-founder of the Group of Seven, joined the company; notable artists such as Albert Angus Turbayne and Alfred Garth Jones were also employed at Carlton.

paragraph: During the First World War, business for the studio became increasingly difficult. As chairman of the Sales and Advertising Syndicate, Wallace decided that the company should be wound up voluntarily from December 1914. He later undertook work for the Ministry of Labour and National Service and finally joined the Labour Supply and Housing Division in the Admiralty, working there as an administrative assistant until the end of the war.

paragraph: Following the war, Wallace was appointed as managing director of the National Trade Press Ltd., initially overseeing the publication of four trade journals under the "Organiser" title. He expanded the company's line of production and its export to British dominions. The NTP was one of the first publishers to develop the direct coloured reproduction of merchandise on art paper, setting a new standard for trade journal production. In 1926 George Newnes purchased the company's ordinary shares and several years later, Wallace's executive responsibilities were reduced as a result of his ill health.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: William Tracy was born to John Wallace, Jr. and Mary, née Lyon. His father and paternal grandfather ran the Milton Inn Hotel; his maternal grandfather was William D. Lyon, a prominent Ontarian politician.

paragraph: He married Mary Jane Nesbit in 1906 and together they had 4 sons. Their youngest son, Lt. Bruce Martin Tiffany Wallace RNVR, was killed in January 1942 when his minesweeper HMT "Unicity" capsized and sank on sweeping duties off Blyth; he was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for sacrificing his life to ensure the safe rescue of his crew.

paragraph: Wallace was a keen sailor, learning to handle boats in Lake Ontario during his childhood. He was elected a member of Itchenor Sailing Club in 1929, two years after its founding, and became intimately involved with ISC's early administration. He was a member of the General Committee between 1932 and 1938. In 1937, when members of ISC formed a "protest committee" to oppose plans to amalgamate the Club with the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, Wallace played an important role in resolving the issue. He proposed the Rear Commodore, Geoffrey Lowles, to become the new Commodore and succeeded in arranging for over fifty individuals (comprising the differing cliques, factions, and recalcitrant members) to officially second him to the position.

paragraph: Andreas Bodenhoff

paragraph: Andreas Bodenhoff (5 January 1723 – 8 August 1794) was a Danish merchant, shipowner and ship builder. He has left his name in posterity for reclaiming the area now known as Bodenhoffs Plads on Christianshavn in Copenhagen. He was the largest private shipowner in Copenhagen by 1779.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Andreas Bodenhoff was born in Copenhagen to skipper Hans Johansen Bodenhoff (c. 1697- primo 1762) and Elisabeth Bacharach (c. 1697–1761). He went to sea at an early age. In 1748, he was licensed as a skipper in Copenhagen. 10 years later he owned several ships and property in Copenhagen. He later established a timber business which especially thrived from its deliveries to the Navy from 1762. On 12 November 1765, he was licensed as a grocer. He was a protégé of Frederik Danneskiold-Samsøe, "Surintendant de marine" and was appointed agent in 1767.

paragraph: On 17 December 1766, Bodenhoff applied for royal permission to establish a shipyard on reclaimed land to the north of Christianshavn and west of the area that Andreas Bjørn had reclaimed some ten years earlier. On 31 December that same year he was granted a 3.3 ha free site as well as tariff exemption for the timber used for the bulwarks. After reclaiming it, he established a shipyard as well as warehouses. The first ship was launched in 1771. The shipyard survived a great fire in 1778 in spite of Bodenhoff's lack of insurances. It constructed a number of large ships for the Royal Navy to a design by Henrik Germer as well as ships for the merchant navy.

paragraph: In 1779, Bodenhoff was mentioned as the largest private shipowner in Copenhagen with 28 ships of which 17 were active in foreign trade.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Bodenhoff lived at Nyhavn 12. He married Mette Maria Andersdatter on 3 March 1749 in St. Nicolas' Church. She died in 1757. He married, for a second time, Mechthilde Catharina Rohde on 20 June 1759 in Church of Our Saviour. Mechthilde Catharina Bodenhoff died on 1 March 1770.

paragraph: Andreas Bodenhoff was buried in St. Nicolas' Church but his grave was moved to Assistens Cemetery in 1797 after the church had been destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.

paragraph: His son, Andreas Bodenhoff Jr. (1763-1796), took over the company after his father's death. He married the daughter of his mother's sister, Gjertrud Birgitte Bodenhoff but fell ill and died in 1796. Gjertrud Birgitte Bodenhoff was then the owner of the company but died under suspicious circumstances in 1798.

paragraph: Dan III of Wallachia

paragraph: Dan the Younger (executed in April 1460) was a pretender to the throne of Wallachia from 1456 to 1460. He was the son of Dan II of Wallachia who died fighting for the throne in 1431. After Dan's brother, Vladislav II of Wallachia, was murdered by their cousin, Vlad Dracula, in 1456, Dan settled in Brașov. Besides Dan, Vlad Dracula's half-brother, Vlad the Monk, and Dan's half-brother, Basarab Laiotă, laid claim to Wallachia against Dracula. Dan tried to seize Wallachia with the support of the burghers of the town, but he was defeated and captured in a battle near Rucăr. He was forced to dig his own grave before being beheaded.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Dan was the brother of Vladislav II of Wallachia, a son of Dan II of Wallachia. Dan II died fighting for Wallachia against his cousin, Alexander I Aldea, in 1431. Vladislav II seized Wallachia from Alexander Aldea's brother, Vlad II, with the support of John Hunyadi, Governor of Hungary, in late 1447. After Vladislav II submitted himself to the Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed II, Hunyadi supported Vlad II's son, Vlad Dracula, to invade Wallachia and seize the throne after 15 April 1456. Vladislav II was captured and beheaded during the invasion.

paragraph: Section::::Pretender.

paragraph: Dan settled in Șcheii (outside the walls of Brașov) in Transylvania. Boyars from Wallachia and Făgăraș joined him. On 16 December 1456, John Hunyadi's son, Ladislaus Hunyadi, ordered the Saxons of Brașov and Țara Bârsei to support Dan against Vlad Dracula who had "caused much inconvenience and damage" in Transylvania, but Dan could not chase Vlad from Wallachia. The Saxon burghers of Sibiu supported Vlad Dracula's half-brother, Vlad the Monk, to seize Amlaș (which had been traditionally held in Transylvania by the princes of Wallachia) before 14 March 1457.

paragraph: Ladislaus V of Hungary had Ladislaus Hunyadi executed on 16 March. Hunyadi's maternal uncle, Michael Szilágyi, rose up against the king, but the Transylvanian Saxons remained faithful to the monarch. Taking advantage of the situation, Vlad Dracula plundered Țara Bârsei in 1457. Vlad's envoys were present at the negotiations between Szilágyi and the Saxons. Szilágyi and the Saxons signed a peace treaty on 23 or 24 November 1457, which obliged the burghers of Brașov to expel Dan from the town.

paragraph: Relationship between Vlad Dracula and the Saxons became again tense, because Vlad captured and impaled "all the merchants of Brașov and Țara Bârsei" who had settled in Wallachia. Dan returned to Brașov with the support of Matthias Corvinus, the new king of Hungary, in early 1459. On 5 April, Dan authorized the officials of Brașov to confiscate the wealth of the Wallachian merchants who had fled from the town because of the emerging conflict. After Vlad Dracul broke into Țara Bârsei, plundering the region in August or September, Dan accused him of cooperating with the Ottoman Empire.

paragraph: A third pretender to the Wallachian throne, Basarab Laiotă, settled in Sighișoara. He offered to fight for the Saxons of Brașov against Vlad Dracula with a troop of 500 strong if he received financial support in early 1460. Dan decided to invade Wallachia and authorized the burghers of Brașov to keep the goods that they had seized from Wallachian merchants in exchange for their support for him on 2 March 1460. He took possession of the domains of Făgăraș and Amlaș (the Transylvanian fiefs of the voivodes of Wallachia), and imprisoned or killed Vlad Dracula's local supporters.

paragraph: He broke into Wallachia in April, but he was defeated and captured in a battle near Rucăr. Vlad Dracula forced Dan to "dig his own grave" before beheading him. Dan's supporters were impaled. After being informed of Dan's death, the burghers of Brașov sent an embassy to Vlad, but he imprisoned their envoys and again plundered the lands near the town. Historians Radu Florescu and Raymont T. McNally say, the Church of St. Nicholas at Târgșor was built during the reign of Vlad Dracula who wanted to atone for the murders of Vladislav II and Dan. Kurt W. Treptow writes, the church may have rather been built to celebrate Vlad's victory over Vladislav and Dan.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Dan had two sons, Albert and Peter. Albert's name suggests that his mother (Dan's wife) was a Roman Catholic woman, according to the Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga. The two sons settled in Transylvania after Dan's death.
