paragraph: Lyonel Feininger

paragraph: Lyonel Charles Feininger (July 17, 1871January 13, 1956) was a German-American painter, and a leading exponent of Expressionism. He also worked as a caricaturist and comic strip artist. He was born and grew up in New York City, traveling to Germany at 16 to study and perfect his art. He started his career as a cartoonist in 1894 and met with much success in this area. He was also a commercial caricaturist for 20 years for magazines and newspapers in the USA and Germany. At the age of 36, he started to work as a fine artist. He also produced a large body of photographic works between 1928 and the mid 1950s, but he kept these primarily within his circle of friends. He was also a pianist and composer, with several piano compositions and fugues for organ extant.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Lyonel Feininger was born to German-American violinist and composer Karl Feininger and American singer Elizabeth Feininger. He was born and grew up in New York City, but traveled to Germany at the age of 16 in 1887 to study. In 1888, he moved to Berlin and studied at the Königliche Akademie Berlin under Ernst Hancke. He continued his studies at art schools in Berlin with Karl Schlabitz, and in Paris with sculptor Filippo Colarossi. He started as a caricaturist for several magazines including "Harper's Round Table", "Harper's Young People", "Humoristische Blätter", "Lustige Blätter", "Das Narrenschiff", "Berliner Tageblatt" and "Ulk".

paragraph: In 1900, he met Clara Fürst, daughter of the painter Gustav Fürst. He married her in 1901, and they had two daughters. In 1905, he separated from his wife after meeting Julia Berg. He married Berg in 1908 and the couple had three boys.

paragraph: The artist was represented with drawings at the exhibitions of the annual Berlin Secession in the years 1901 through 1903.

paragraph: Feininger's career as cartoonist started in 1894. He was working for several German, French and American magazines. In February 1906, when a quarter of Chicago's population was of German descent, James Keeley, editor of The "Chicago Tribune" traveled to Germany to procure the services of the most popular humor artists. He recruited Feininger to illustrate two comic strips "The Kin-der-Kids" and "Wee Willie Winkie's World" for the "Chicago Tribune". The strips were noted for their fey humor and graphic experimentation. He also worked as a commercial caricaturist for 20 years for various newspapers and magazines in both the United States and Germany. Later, Art Spiegelman wrote in "The New York Times Book Review," that Feininger's comics have "achieved a breathtaking formal grace unsurpassed in the history of the medium."

paragraph: Feininger started working as a fine artist at the age of 36. He was a member of the "Berliner Sezession" in 1909, and he was associated with German expressionist groups: Die Brücke, the Novembergruppe, Gruppe 1919, the Blaue Reiter circle and Die Blaue Vier (The Blue Four). His first solo exhibit was at Sturm Gallery in Berlin, 1917. When Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus in Germany in 1919, Feininger was his first faculty appointment, and became the master artist in charge of the printmaking workshop.

paragraph: From 1909 until 1921, Feininger spent summer vacations on the island of Usedom to recover and to get new inspiration. Typical of works from this period were marine settings from the shores of the Baltic See (Ostsee). He continued to create paintings and drawings of Benz for the rest of his life, even after returning to live in the United States. A tour of the sites appearing in the works of Feininger follows a path with markers in the ground to guide visitors.

paragraph: He designed the cover for the Bauhaus 1919 manifesto: an expressionist woodcut 'cathedral'. He taught at the Bauhaus for several years. Among the students who attended his workshops were Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack (German/Australian (1893–1965), Hans Friedrich Grohs (German 1892 - 1981), and Margarete Koehler-Bittkow (German/American, 1898–1964).

paragraph: When the Nazi Party came to power in 1933, the situation became unbearable for Feininger and his wife. The Nazi Party declared his work to be "degenerate". They moved to America after his work was exhibited in the 'degenerate art' ("Entartete Kunst") in 1936, but before the 1937 exhibition in Munich. He taught at Mills College before returning to New York. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1955.

paragraph: In addition to drawing, Feininger created art with painted toy figures being photographed in front of drawn backgrounds.

paragraph: Feininger produced a large body of photographic works between 1928 and the mid-1950s. He kept his photographic work within his circle of friends, and it was not shared with the public in his lifetime. He gave some prints away to his colleagues Walter Gropius and Alfred H. Barr Jr..

paragraph: Feininger also had intermittent activity as a pianist and composer, with several piano compositions and fugues for organ extant.

paragraph: His sons, Andreas Feininger and T. Lux Feininger, both became noted artists, the former as a photographer and the latter as a photographer and painter. T. Lux Feininger died July 7, 2011 at the age of 101.

paragraph: Section::::Major retrospective.

paragraph: A major retrospective exhibition of Lyonel Feininger's work was put on in 2011-2012: it opened initially at the Whitney Museum of American Art, June 30 through October 16, 2011, subsequently at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, January 1 through May 13, 2012. The exhibition is described as "the first in Feininger's native country in more than forty-five years, and the first ever to include the full breadth of his art" and as "accompanied by a richly illustrated monograph with a feature essay that provides a broad overview of Feininger's career..." Many critics have argued that the artist's work was at its most mature around 1910 in works in which the power of Feininger as illustrator balance his abstract side; however, we have to consider the possibility that Feininger used cubism as a more artistically succinct tool to establish his version of the concept known as the objective correlative.

paragraph: Feininger was also a composer: in tandem with the Whitney retrospective, the American Symphony Orchestra under Leon Botstein, at Carnegie Hall on 21 October 2011, performed three orchestral fugues written by Feininger. Barbara Haskell, curator of the Whitney exhibit, wrote that for his entire life, Feininger credited Bach with having been his "master in painting."

paragraph: Section::::Art market.

paragraph: At a 2001 Christie's auction in London, Feininger's painting "The Green Bridge" (1909) was sold for £2.42 million.

paragraph: At a 2007 Sotheby’s auction in New York, Feininger’s oil painting "Jesuits III" (1915) sold for $23,280,000.

paragraph: At a 2017 Sotheby's auction in New York, Feininger's oil painting "Fin de séance" (1910) sold for $5,637,500.

paragraph: Walter de Luci (also Walter de Lucy), Abbot of Battle Abbey, was the brother of Richard de Luci, who was Chief Justiciar of England.

paragraph: Walter de Luci (or de Lucy) was a Benedictine monk at Lonlay-l'Abbaye in Normandy, before being elected Abbot of Battle Abbey in Sussex, England. He was elected on 8 January 1139. He died while still abbot on 21 June 1171. While abbot, he became involved in a dispute with Hilary, bishop of Chichester, who was the bishop who held jurisdiction over Battle Abbey. Battle had never received a papal exemption, and instead relied on its status as a royal foundation by King William I of England and its status as an eigenkirche. Hilary obtained from both Pope Eugene III and Pope Hadrian IV orders to obey the bishop, but in 1157, Walter brought the case before King Henry II of England at a council held at Colchester. The foundation charter of William I and the confirmation by King Henry I of England, who was Henry II's grandfather, were produced by Walter, and were admitted as genuine. Both documents freed the abbey from ecclesiastical oversight, and Henry II had at his coronation confirmed all his grandfather's charters. However, Hilary argued that only a papal privilege could exempt a monastery from episcopal oversight, and that Battle had no such privilege. Henry was not impressed by this argument, for it impinged on his royal rights. Thomas Becket, then Henry's chancellor, was one of the main opponents of Hilary at this council.

paragraph: Jennie June (autobiographer)

paragraph: Jennie June was one of the earliest transgender individuals to publish an autobiography in the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Jennie June was born into a Puritan family in 1874 in Connecticut as Earl Lind. As a child, Lind asked others to call her by Jennie instead of Earl, and she spent much more time with girls than with boys. She became very shy and introverted when her parents sent her off to an all boys school and also became very depressed, considering suicide. Lind realized at a young age that she was an androgyne looking to change from male to female. At the time, the term transgender was not prevalent; instead words such as "androgyne", "invert", and "fairie" were used. She struggled throughout her life up to her late twenties with her extreme desire to perform fellatio, claiming to have partaken in over sixteen hundred sexual encounters in the span of a dozen years.

paragraph: As a young adult, June found safe havens in places such as Paresis Hall in New York City to take on her new identity. Paresis Hall, or Columbia Hall, was one of many establishments considered the center of homosexual nightlife where male prostitutes would do as female prostitutes did, soliciting men under an effeminate persona. Places like Paresis Hall provided a place where people like June could gather and feel more free to express themselves and socialize with similar people in a time when cross dressing socially unacceptable and illegal. June then formed the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895 along with other androgynes who frequented Paresis Hall. The organization was formed in the hopes "to unite for defense against the world's bitter persecution" and to show that being transgender was natural, although there is not much solid evidence that this organization actually existed.

paragraph: At the age of 28, June had herself castrated, a decision that she believed would make her healthier and decrease her extreme and "disturbing" desires for sex, as well as eliminating some of her other masculine features, such as facial hair.

paragraph: According to Wayne Koestenbaum in "The Queen's Throat", she believed that she could 'diagnose a man sexually simply by hearing him sing', and wanted to be an opera soprano.

paragraph: Section::::"Autobiography of an Androgyne".

paragraph: June published her first autobiography, "The Autobiography of an Androgyne" in 1918, and her second "The Female-Impersonators" in 1922. While June herself did not describe herself as transgender, since the term was not in use yet, she aligned herself with femininity, despite having been assigned male at birth. This makes her one of the earliest instances of someone who is adjacent to being transgender in American history to publicize her own story. In her preface to her book, June explains that she has kept diaries of her life and that her autobiography has been taken from those.

paragraph: June self-identified as a "fairie", "androgyne", "effeminate man", and a passive "invert". She did not separate her gender from her sexuality, as was typical of the time period, and she also tied age into that, feeling as though age changed how and what people desired (she herself having a fondness of playing the role of a younger person when with certain people). She organized the book into episode-like sections, wherein she discusses incidents in her life as well as her opinions on certain social matters. Her goal in writing her book was to make her trials well-known and to rally the support of Americans to create an accepting environment for young adults who do not adhere to gender and sexual norms because that was what she would have wanted for herself, and she wanted to prevent them from committing suicide June discusses her desires, which she struggled with because they were so different to what was considered normal.

paragraph: The memoir describes in detail many personal narratives as well as her sexual encounters and desires, including the story of her castration, but also contains pleas for understanding and acceptance of these "fairies". "The Autobiography of an Androgyne" also describes how June felt that she lived a double life in the sense that she was an educated, middle-class white male scholar but also had intense yearnings for performing sexual acts that actually distracted her and caused her suffering.

paragraph: Section::::"The Riddle of the Underworld".

paragraph: In 2010, Dr. Randall Sell, a professor at Drexel University, discovered a third volume of June's autobiography called "The Riddle of the Underworld", which was written in 1921. This third volume includes an encounter in which June was beaten by men whom she tried to pick up. She once again defends gender and sexual nonconformists, insisting that they were simply born of a different nature, but natural nonetheless. These newly discovered volumes provide an opportunity to look into more of June's deeply personal encounters and issues, and provide the possibility for other narratives to exist.

paragraph: Bartolomeo Bacilieri

paragraph: Bartolomeo Bacilieri (28 March 1842 – 14 February 1923) was an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Verona from 1900 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1901.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Bartolomeo Bacilieri was born in Breonio, Fumane, and received the Sacrament of Confirmation on 4 July 1854. He studied at the seminary in Verona and at the "Almo Collegio Capranica" (1862–1867) in Rome. On 17 December 1864, Bacilieri was ordained to the priesthood in Rome. He then furthered his studies at the "Collegio Romano", from where he obtained his doctorate in theology on 30 July 1867. Bacilieri taught dogmatic theology at the Seminary of Verona from 1868 to 1888, and was also named as its rector in 1878. He was a canon of the cathedral chapter (1878–1888), and served as diocesan prosynodal examiner as well.

paragraph: On 1 June 1888, Bacilieri was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Verona and Titular Bishop of "Nisa in Lycia". He received his episcopal consecration on the following 10 June from Cardinal Mariano Rampolla, with Archbishops Alessandro Sanminiatelli and Vincenzo Vannutelli serving as co-consecrators, in the chapel of the "Almo Collegio Capranica". Bacilieri later succeeded Cardinal Luigi di Canossa as Bishop of Verona upon the latter's death on 12 March 1900.

paragraph: Pope Leo XIII created him Cardinal Priest of "San Bartolomeo all'Isola" in the consistory of 15 April 1901. After participating in the conclave of 1903, Bacilieri was a cardinal elector again in the 1914 papal conclave, which selected Pope Benedict XV. During the conclave of 1914, Bacilieri supposedly received two votes in the opening ballot, and served as a scrutineer on the last day of balloting with Cardinals Ottavio Cagiano de Azevedo and Rafael Merry del Val. He later participated in the 1922 papal conclave as well, which resulted in the election of Pope Pius XI.

paragraph: The Cardinal died in Verona at the age of 80. His funeral was held on 17 February 1923 at the Cathedral of Verona, and was attended by Cardinal Pietro La Fontaine and almost all of the region's bishops. His remains were interred in the tomb of the canons of the cathedral chapter in the Verona cemetery until a definitive tomb at the cathedral was completed.

paragraph: John Rogers (divine)

paragraph: John Rogers (17 July 1778 – 12 June 1856) was an English Anglican priest, mine-owner, botanist, mineralogist, and scholar of Hebrew and Syriac.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born at Plymouth on 17 July 1778, the eldest son of John Rogers, the MP for Penryn and Helston and Margaret, daughter of Francis Basset.

paragraph: Rogers was educated at Helston grammar school, at Eton College, and at Trinity College, Oxford. He matriculated on 8 April 1797, graduated B.A. as a passman in 1801, and M.A. in 1810. Having been ordained to the curacy of St Blazey, he became rector of St Mawnan and St Stephen's Church, Mawnan, the advowson of which belonged to his family, in 1807. In 1820 he was appointed Canon Residentiary of Exeter.

paragraph: In February 1832 on the death of his father, he succeeded to the Penrose and Helston estates of about ten thousand acres (40 km²), comprising the manors of Penrose, Helston, Carminow, Winnianton, and various other estates in Cornwall, including several mines. The Penrose lands had been acquired in 1770 by his grandfather, Hugh Rogers, and the Helston in 1798 by his father. Rogers resigned his rectory in 1838. He died at Penrose on 12 June 1856, and was buried at Sithney, where there is a monument to him.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: Rogers married his first wife, Mary, on 14 June 1814, Mary. She was the only daughter of John Jope, rector of St Ives and vicar of St Cleer; and, secondly, in 1843, Grace, eldest daughter of G S Fursdon of Fursdon, Devonshire; she survived him, and died in 1862. By his first wife Rogers had issue five sons and a daughter.

paragraph: BULLET::::1. John Jope Rogers (16 February 1816 – 24 April 1880), inherited the Penrose Estate and was elected M.P. for Helston from 1859 to 1865.

paragraph: BULLET::::2. William (born 13 June 1817), succeeded his father as Rector of Mawnan.

paragraph: Section::::Landlord and scientist.

paragraph: Rogers was a popular and energetic landlord, and a good botanist and mineralogist. As lord of the Tresavean mine, he took an active part in forwarding the adoption of the first man engine in the UK (designed by Michael Loam), the introduction of which in the deep mines, in place of the old perpendicular ladders, proved an important reform – reducing the time for miners to reach the working levels from an hour to just twenty-five minutes, and enabling older, more experienced miners to reach the lowest levels. The installation cost was £2500, and it saved £125 per month in time and labour, as well as improving the safety of the mine. He contributed several papers to the "Transactions of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall."

paragraph: Section::::Hebrew and Syriac scholar.

paragraph: He was, however, chiefly distinguished as a Hebrew and Syriac scholar. In 1812, when Frey prepared the edition of the Hebrew Bible published by the newly formed Society for Promoting the Conversion of the Jews, the general supervision of the work was entrusted to Rogers.

paragraph: Section::::Published works.

paragraph: His own works, in addition to sermons and occasional papers, were:

paragraph: Ted Noten

paragraph: Amsterdam-based Ted Noten (18 December 1956) is a Dutch conceptual artist. He is especially known for his "Turbo Princess" pendant featuring a mouse wearing a small pearl necklace, and his solid acrylic handbags and suitcases containing guns. A broad spectrum of galleries and museum collections all over the world represent his oeuvre. Since 2005, his design company "Atelier Ted Noten", or "ATN", has extended its jewellery creations towards (interior) design projects, installations and commissions for both private collectors, cultural organisations and art institutions.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in the Dutch town of Tegelen in 1956, Noten explored careers such as bricklaying and nursing at a psychiatric hospital before applying to art school. He enrolled in the Maastricht Academy for Applied Arts in the Netherlands, and in 1990 he obtained a degree from Amsterdam's Gerrit Rietveld Academie. From 2005 to 2008 Noten worked as a senior international research fellow at the Birmingham School of Jewellery of Birmingham City University in the UK. Since 2007 he teaches master classes at the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Chew Your Own Brooch.

paragraph: In 1998 Noten developed an ongoing project called "Chew Your Own Brooch". It was first explored at the Rotterdam art museum Boijmans van Beuningen. Appr. 800 visitors, including many children, were given a piece of chewing gum and asked to "chew their own brooch". Once they were satisfied with the shape they had produced, the piece was put in a little box, marked, and judged by a panel. First, second and third-place winners were then presented with their brooches, made of their own piece of chewing gum cast respectively in 24K gold, silver and bronze. For many years now Noten has provided clients with their own chewing kit. When the client is satisfied with the shape they produced the piece of gum is returned and a replica brooch is made cast in silver or gold.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Wearable Gold.

paragraph: "Wearable Gold" a.k.a. "Object" (2001) consists of a pair of inconspicuous black and white sling back shoes with 24K gold insoles, allowing the wearer to walk on gold without attracting too much attention, as well as providing security in less fortunate times. Noten got inspired when he met a stranger on a train, a Jewish man who spoke of the horrors of being in Auschwitz during the Second World War, and about money, poverty and death. The man explained that gold and diamonds were the only real currency and that he still carried gold inside his shoes for security against the next rainy day. "Wearable Gold 2" are 24K gold glazed porcelain pendants that are much less inconspicuous and only serve to impress the onlooker as the real value in gold is limited.

paragraph: A similar concept, but now in silver, is Noten's "N.T. 2011", a 5 kg 999/1000 silver bar one can carry around by its handle and shoulder strap. In a limited edition of 3 pieces.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:I Am Being Nice to My Colleagues.

paragraph: Noten's design "I Am Being Nice to My Colleagues" (2001) consists of an A4 silver plate that is blank except for two indented concentric circles. This first ring is ready to wear. When the buyer wishes to have a new ring made, they can commission another designer to create another ring from the plate. Eventually only the silhouettes of previous rings will be left. Noten invites other designers to share his concept and create their own work within the concept's parameters.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Mercedes Brooch.

paragraph: The "Mercedes Brooch" is made from steel parts cut from the body of a "Mercedes-Benz E-Class 210 model" luxury car. Noten started this project in 2001 with his work "100 Pieces" in which he took a section of a new car and divided it into 100 fragments, each unique in size and form. That way the brooch wearer could become part owner of a new Mercedes-Benz. Noten followed it up in 2003 with a different car. In 2007 and 2008 he just used the hood. The 2001 brooches are white, the 2003 red. Priced at €200.00 a piece.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:A Tiara for Maxima.

paragraph: In 2002, Noten participated among 40 (21 in final) Dutch artists and designers in a tiara design competition honouring the marriage between Maxima Zorreguieta and the Dutch crown prince Willem-Alexander. Noten's design of a shiny chromed polo helmet with a clip-on tiara won first prize. The jury referred to it as a 'cheeky' design. Noten intended the tiara, with small portraits of all Dutch queens positioned as guardian angels on top, to be used in church during the wedding ceremony. Afterwards the princess could combine the tiara with the helmet to protect herself against paparazzi when she ventured into the city of Amsterdam (or if she felt confident enough her husband might want to wear the helmet).

paragraph: Section::::Works.:The Pistol Saints.

paragraph: The use of guns in Noten's work came about by chance. In the past Noten had felt uneasy about the large number of people in his neighbourhood that carried guns. Whenever he could he would ask people to give him their gun or he would buy it from them. He would then throw it away or keep it in store without any particular purpose for it. After a while he had quite a collection and he thought he might just as well use these guns in his works of art. It also gave him the idea of a project he called "Design Against Crime" in which he collaborated with the authorities to persuade people to give up their guns in return for a work of art.

paragraph: Noten's work "The Pistol Saints" (2003) is part of the "Design Against Crime" project. Whenever Noten asked people why they carried a gun they said it made them feel more secure, although most of them never actually used their gun. This inspired him to copy what he called "the soul of the gun" in pieces of jewellery the owner could wear instead of the gun. "The Pistol Saints" consists of twelve golden brooches with imprints of a gun. On the brooches the gun markings can be clearly distinguished.

paragraph: "The Pistol Saints" received wide public attention when it was displayed at the 2004 exhibition on contemporary jewellery "Geel metalliek: Goud voor Robert Smit" at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. This was because Noten not only then displayed the golden brooches but also, as part of the artwork, the gun he used to make the imprints with. As he had no official licence for this gun it was confiscated by the police and destroyed. Though unintended, the police action of removing the gun from the exhibition but leaving the brooches with the gun markings, contributed to the meaning of the work.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Mr Claw.

paragraph: At art exhibitions the visitor usually is not allowed to touch the displayed objects, not even when they clearly have a functional background like an artistic chair or jewellery. Therefore, Noten used a funfair machine he called "Mr Claw" to offer visitors the opportunity to actually touch works of art. "Mr Claw" contains plastic bubbles with small pieces of jewellery inside the visitor can attempt to grab by using the machine's remote-controlled grabber. As a special attraction Noten put a 1 kg silver bar inside as well (unfortunately this item is too heavy to be lifted by the grabber). "Mr Claw" was used at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam "Geel metalliek: Goud voor Robert Smit" exhibition on contemporary jewellery in 2004, and at the "Icon Experiment 2008" exhibition in London, UK.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Unstaged.

paragraph: At a 2004 exhibition at the Amsterdam art society "Arti & Amicitiae" Noten used an installation with an industrial robot to show his "Paperheadring" that contained a tiny paper hat cast in acrylic. In the 2011 project "Lady Killer Vol. 1" the concept of an automated jewellery box was further explored.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Golden Piles.

paragraph: In 2004, Noten collected a large amount of low-price earthenware crockery from a Dutch budget store. He arranged the crockery in piles, fixed the design and had it gold-plated as a contrast. These unique objects he called "Golden Piles" or "Festive Table Centers". "Golden Pile 9" (2004) is a stack of plates that is in the Rotterdam Museum Boijmans van Beuningen collection.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Global Tactile Pieces Vol. II.

paragraph: On Noten's 2004 trip from Tokyo to Amsterdam he purchased, found or swapped objects that he afterwards transformed into jewelry designs that represented cities he visited, experiences he had, and people he met. In total 16 different works, i.e. the Chinese city of "Tianjin" is represented by a necklace with a large red drill. The Mongolian city of "Erenhot" is represented by a pendant that is now in the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art collection.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:St. James Cross Revisited.

paragraph: In 2005, visitors to the National Museum of Ancient Art in Lisbon, Portugal, which houses ancient art treasures from around the world, would receive a special brooch Noten designed by using the emblem of the Order of Saint James of the Sword, a famous Portuguese Order of Chivalry. Then the visitors were invited to make a picture or portrait with the brooch in their hometown and place this image on a dedicated website. That way a special bond would be created between the worldwide visitors' community and the museum.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:The Real Love Bracelet.

paragraph: In 2005, Noten commented on Cartier's iconic "Love Bracelet", that can only be unlocked by the partner, by producing "The Real Love Bracelet", a silver bracelet attached to a blown glass bubble with a pair of rings inside. That way the wearer always has a pair of rings handy and only needs to break the bubble when the right moment has arrived.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Wedding Pills.

paragraph: As an alternative to traditional wedding rings, Noten designed a pair of golden "Wedding Pills" (2007). These are micro-inscribed with the names of the couple and the date of their wedding, and are to be swallowed during the marriage ceremony. Later they can be recovered from their journey through the body, and reused as a recurring ritual to strengthen the couple's bond after a marriage crisis.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Be nice to a girl, buy her a ring.

paragraph: In 2008 the city of Amsterdam started a project to improve the red light district in the old city centre. Noten participated with a street vending machine that sold red rings with a wide variety of designs for only €2.50. The rings were intended to be bought for the neighbourhood prostitutes by their clients. Noten called the project "Be nice to a girl, buy her a ring" and hoped it would improve the mutual respect between prostitutes and clients, and that it might even introduce a more romantic atmosphere in the red light district. Afterwards he offered the red rings, cased and numbered in a limited edition of 250 pieces, as true art objects for €310.00 each.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Messin' around with Willy.

paragraph: For the 2008 exhibition "LINGAM - 121 contemporary fertility symbols" artists, designers and jewellery makers from 24 countries were asked to create new lingam objects based on the ancient fertility symbol. Noten contributed with a series of porcelain dildos with miniature objects attached, i.e. a car pulling a caravan and a highway lamppost. A white porcelain dildo with miniature Delftware attached is priced at €3,000.00.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Periscope.

paragraph: In 2008 "Atelier Ted Noten" provided the renovated Rotterdam art museum Boijmans van Beuningen with a multimedia installation. It consists of a golden mobile, called "Periscope", positioned in the museum's lobby. The museum's new entrance ticket is a letter that the visitor can use to display an image of an item from the museum's collection on one of the walls of the lobby. The letter changes daily, the text and images projected from "Periscope" change equally.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:TEDWALK.

paragraph: On November 23, 2008, Noten was awarded with the "Francoise van den Bosch" award, an international prize for innovative jewellery makers, and he combined the award ceremony with a catwalk presentation of highlights from his work since 1995 for the opening of a solo-exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:The Revenge of the Pearl Necklace.

paragraph: In 2009, during the fashion exhibition "Gejaagd door de wind" (Gone with the wind) at the Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen, Noten showed his work "The Revenge of the Pearl Necklace" consisting of the decomposing body of a pike that gradually exposed a pearl necklace Noten had put inside the stomach of the fish. Visitors were overwhelmed by the smell. Later during the exhibition Noten showed a video of the decomposing process together with the pike's cleaned skeleton and the necklace itself. With "The Revenge" Noten is referring to the Zuiderzee fishermen's loathing of pearls as these were very popular with the nobility.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Haunted by 36 Women.

paragraph: In 2009, Noten started, inspired by a card of Japanese artist Hokusai Katsushika (1760–1849), his ongoing "Haunted by 36 Women" project. Like Hokusai who created 36 drawings from the mountain he loved, Noten chose 36 archetypes of women to design jewellery for. First, a life-size sculpture is constructed, which is then transformed into a wearable art object, made out of different materials like nylon, stainless steel, titanium, silver or gold.

paragraph: So far Noten has created, among others, "Career Woman" (a limited edition of three pieces 18K gold-plated ring decorated with a miniature office chair combined with the saddle of a racing bicycle), "Iron Lady" (a ring with an iPod), "Femme Fatale" (a ring with a miniature fencing foil attached, flexible by the use of rubber-filled nylon and priced at €225.00, also in the Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch collection), "Macha" (a ring with a machinegun), "Ice-cream girl" (a ring and a bracelet with a pair of pointed stiletto shoes on a car tire), "Chocolate Hooker" (a ring with a serving dish filled with chocolates and priced at €150.00) and "Kenau" (a ring with a purse and a pair of boxing gloves).

paragraph: The limited edition of eight pieces of the "Fashionista" 3D-printed glass-filled nylon necklace with miniature stiletto shoes is part of the project. The nylon necklace is priced at €1,400.00. Noten also produced a limited edition of ten unique pieces, each with a different gold element, called "Fashionista Golden Girl". In addition a single edition necklace with all gold elements was made and a single edition all gold piece. Noten also produced the lacquered nylon "Suffragette" ring, priced at €950.00, and the 18K gold "Muse" ring priced at €18,500.00. The "Mom" brooch, of laser sintered nylon, is priced at €175.00.

paragraph: A special design is "Avondvlinder" (translated "Evening butterfly", another expression for prostitute) a.k.a. "Miss Piggy" (a ring with on top a piglet with a pearl necklace) that is produced in gold and titanium, as well as in nylon. It is based on Noten's 2008 "Pig Bracelet" made of sintered nylon. The "Pig Bracelet" is priced at €1,800.00 and the "Avondvlinder (Miss Piggy)" ring at appr. €13,000.00 (18K gold and depending on gold price), or €925.00 (titanium), or €80.00 (glassfiber-filled nylon).

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Last Cigarette.

paragraph: Since 2010 Ted Noten offers people who have quit smoking a reminder as well as moral support by making a brooch from their last cigarette. These unique brooches are 18K gold-plated and priced at €850.00.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Vertical Rainbow.

paragraph: In 2010, "Atelier Ted Noten" participated in the exhibition "Contemplating the Void" that marked the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The museum asked for designs that would provide the visitor with an inspiring view of the large central atrium of the Guggenheim building. ATN suggested an installation design that made use of a sparkling curtain of Swarovski crystals falling from the ceiling. A special projector light on the crystals would then generate a vertical rainbow of colours across the atrium.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Three Stars Bomb !

paragraph: At first glance the "Three Stars Bomb!" looks like a classic bomb with long wick. But once ignited it appears to be a candle that gradually displays three bronze stars that can be worn as brooches (i.e. to imitate a three-star rank). Comes with the Swedish "Three Stars Safety Matches" that inspired Noten to make this design. Displayed during "Milan Design Week 2010" and now in the Centraal Museum Utrecht collection. Priced at €39.95.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:The Temptation.

paragraph: In 2010, Noten designed a life-size apple with a golden stem, topped with a small black diamond, called "De Verleiding (The Temptation)". The golden stem with diamond is in fact a brooch and the apple serves as a decorative stand for when the brooch is not worn. In a yellow and a black 3D-printed limited edition of ten pieces it is priced at €1,200.00.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Wanna Swap Your Ring ?

paragraph: During the "Tokyo Design Week" of September 2010 Noten participated in the exhibition "Catalysis for Life - New Language of Dutch Art & Design" at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (MOT) in Japan. He arranged 500 of his "Miss Piggy" rings in the shape of his gun icon on a wall to offer the visitors an interactive art installation he called "Wanna Swap Your Ring ?". Many visitors then used the opportunity to swap their own ring for a Noten ring, leaving a genuine jungle of rings behind. Noten commented he did not know what to do with these visitors' rings yet but that he would surely find a purpose for them. Given the success he plans to use the "Wanna Swap Your Ring" installation at art exhibitions worldwide.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:SLOW - Eleven Women and 400 Daisies.

paragraph: To celebrate the opening of the "Mint Museum Uptown", the Mint Museum of Craft+Design, Charlotte, US, launched "Project Ten Ten Ten" on October 1, 2010. Ten innovative international artists in the fields of glass, jewelry, furniture and fiber art where commissioned, including Ted Noten, to create exclusive works for the permanent collection of the museum. Noten developed an interactive piece called "SLOW - Eleven Women and 400 Daisies" as an homage to the Mint Museum's Auxiliary women, as well as to all American women. SLOW consists of a golden buste, with the features of ten famous American women, that is completely covered with white 3D-printed nylon daisies. The daisies double as brooches and every new Auxiliary member will be given one to wear. That way it will take appr. 18 years before the entire buste is revealed (hence the title SLOW).

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Pig Head Trophy.

paragraph: Each year the Design Academy Eindhoven commissions an artist to design a trophy for the academy's graduates. For the 2010 edition Noten worked with Amsterdam-based 3D-printing company "Freedom Of Creation (FOC)" to create his "Pig Head Trophy", consisting of a sliced pig head with one slice per graduate. Not only was each and every slice different, they were also customized to show which course the student took.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Dutch Fashion Awards.

paragraph: In 2010 and 2011 "Atelier Ted Noten" teamed up with Amsterdam-based 3D-printing company "Freedom Of Creation (FOC)" to create the "Dutch Fashion Awards". These designs consist of 3D-printed necklaces that represent each of the six prize categories. Matching badges for jury officials were also made. Special attention was given to the "Mercedes" sponsored award that incorporates the "Mercedes" star. The 2010 awards are yellow, the 2011 are red.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Art Rehab.

paragraph: In 2011, Noten used the large taxi driver community of the UK industrial city of Middlesbrough to promote the exhibition "The Modern Jewel - In time and the mind of others" at MIMA, the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. He thought of working with taxi drivers after seeing the landmark bridge in the area, the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, that was celebrating its centenary. The transporter bridge operates very much like a ferry and during the lengthy crossing taxi drivers usually have nothing much else to do than to talk to their passenger(s).

paragraph: Noten started the project with interviews, asking the taxi drivers how they felt about art, what they knew about MIMA and what they would like him, as an artist, to create for their cars. He received answers like 'I used to wear a ring for good luck', 'would like a girl on the hood', and 'I'm too busy for art'. These, sometimes puzzling, quotes were used on posters announcing the exhibition throughout the city.

paragraph: Then Noten provided 300 taxi drivers with a little brooch and a slightly larger object, both the shape of a wing (referring to the godly messenger Hermes). The winged brooch was attached to the driver's jacket and the larger wing to the dashboard, functioning as a conversation piece to trigger the curiosity of customers. If the driver felt no inclination to talk about MIMA, he could use a CD to inform an inquisitive customer during the drive.

paragraph: Finally, the taxi driver would provide the customer with a flyer about the exhibition with a Post-it sticker in the shape of a wing. The flyer invited the customer to write down their opinion of the exhibition on the sticker and paste it to a wall at MIMA. This wall eventually became an artwork itself, with the stickers positioned as feathers within the contours of a drawing of a large wing. The Hermes-flyers were also available at other places in town, such as waiting rooms of doctors, libraries, the town hall, etcetera. The flyer also entitled a visitor of the exhibition to a 40% discount on a winged Noten ring.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Lady Killer Vol. 1.

paragraph: In 2011, "Atelier Ted Noten" and UK creative company "Laikingland" designed a modern-day jewellery box called "Lady Killer Vol. 1". It is made by 3D printing techniques and comprises a robotic arm that grabs and presents a single piece of stored jewellery. The gold-plated "Lady Killer" ring designed for this project has on top a miniature gun with a white and a black diamond.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:"7 Necessities for a Woman".

paragraph: In 2011, Noten also designed a white "Dior 001" gun and a black "Chanel 001" gun with hand-tooled 18-karat gold details, as part of a larger series entitled "7 Necessities for a Woman (to feel like a woman through the eyes of a man)". The two 3D-printed nylon guns double as make-up bags with lip gloss and wand in the muzzle, the loading chamber serves as a pill compartment (complete with pills, including Viagra), 100 grams of certified silver bullion in the Dior gun clip, 50 grams of 24-karat gold in the Chanel, a toothpick and, in some models, a hairpin and a small vial of perfume. The guns also conceal a 4-gigabyte USB memory stick. Priced at US$11,500.00 (Dior gun) and over US$17,000.00 (Chanel gun) respectively.

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Smartphone Jewels.

paragraph: Noten developed his "Smartphone Jewels" project as part of the contemporary jewelry exhibition "Unleashed!" held at the Dutch "Museum voor Moderne Kunst Arnhem (MMKA)" in Arnhem from November 4, 2011 until February 6, 2012. The exhibition is advertised throughout the Arnhem city center with posters that each carry a different QR-tag to be scanned by a smartphone. Each tag provides the smartphone user with additional information on jewelry related topics, i.e. the price of gold or political commentary on blood diamonds or a story about miners. When all tags are scanned the smartphone user receives an individual code that can be exchanged for a 3D-printed Noten gunring at the exhibition. Noten also designed a special 3D-printed glassfiber-filled nylon smartphone (iPhone) cover with daisies and a bicolor ring to match priced at €395.00.

paragraph: Section::::Monograph.

paragraph: In 2006, Rotterdam-based "010 publishers" published Noten's 328-page monograph titled "CH=C(CH)C(=O)CH enclosures and other TN's" (). The title refers to the chemical formula of the PMMA material, much used by Noten. Created out of a pile of thousands of photographs, combined with informational as well as poetic text, the book offers compositions, associations, and narratives to illustrate Noten's work. It achieved the "Best Dutch Book Design 2006" award.

paragraph: Section::::Documentaries.

paragraph: In 2007, a half-hour radio interview was aired in which Noten discusses his monograph with "Brett Littman", the director of The Drawing Center art museum in New York City.

paragraph: A short video interview was recorded at the Design Miami 2008 exhibition. Noten explains how some of his most famous works came about and that his intuition plays an important role in the creative process.

paragraph: In 2009, the "Dutch Design Fashion and Architecture (DutchDFA)" group commissioned a short documentary film about Noten as part of their "Dutch Profiles" series on contemporary architects and graphic, product and fashion designers in the Netherlands. These documentaries are meant to be spread freely over the web and as part of lectures, exhibitions and business presentations.

paragraph: In 2010, a one-hour documentary film called "Goud, Zweet & Parels" (Gold, Sweat & Pearls) was produced by Dutch director "Simone de Vries" and broadcast on Dutch television. It portrays Ted Noten, his work and his philosophy:

paragraph: Section::::Exhibitions and collections.

paragraph: Noten has participated in numerous exhibitions around the world and he is represented by galleries and museum collections worldwide. In 2006, Noten was a keynote speaker at the "Society of North American Goldsmiths" (SNAG) conference in Chicago. In 2011, "Atelier Ted Noten" participated in the "Glasstress" exhibition.

paragraph: Section::::Awards.

paragraph: In 1998, Noten was awarded the German "Herbert Hoffmann Preis". Every year this award is granted to three outstanding jewelry designers who show their work at the "Schmuck" exhibition in Munich, Germany. "Schmuck" was established in 1959 by "Dr. Herbert Hoffmann" and is the eldest exhibition of contemporary jewellery work in the world. Noten's tiara design for Dutch crown princess Maxima won the first prize in 2002. In 2006 his monograph "CH2=C(CH3)C(=O)OCH3 and other TN's" published by Rotterdam-based publisher "010" won "Best Dutch Book Designs". In 2008, Noten received the Dutch "Françoise van den Bosch" award, which recognizes an international jeweler whose work embodies exceptional quality and innovation. In 2011 Ted Noten won the Dutch "Artist of the Year" award.

paragraph: Gordon Richards

paragraph: Sir Gordon Richards (5 May 1904 – 10 November 1986) was an English jockey. He was the British flat racing Champion Jockey 26 times and is often considered the world's greatest ever jockey. He remains the only flat jockey to have been knighted.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Gordon Richards was raised in the Shropshire village of Donnington Wood (now part of Telford), the son of a Shropshire coal miner. His father reared several pit ponies at their home, and it was in this environment that Sir Gordon fostered his love of the equestrian. He rode the ponies bareback from an early age, then from the age of seven, drove the pony and trap passenger service his family ran between Wrockwardine Wood and Oakengates station. It was at that age no doubt that he developed his unique riding style, using a long rein and an upright stance. He had two brothers, Colin and Clifford, who shared this love of horses and also became jockeys: the latter was a Classic winning jockey.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After leaving school he took the first step towards becoming a jockey, becoming a stable boy aged 15 at Fox Hollies Stable in Wiltshire, owned by Jimmy White.

paragraph: It wasn't long before his riding skills were noticed by his new employer, who gave him his first ride in a race at Lincoln. Not long after his debut he won his first race at Leicester in March 1921. With the determination and single-mindedness that was his trademark, he achieved his dream of becoming a full-fledged jockey in 1925, and went on to become Champion Jockey in his first year, notching up 118 wins.

paragraph: Early in 1926, five years after Richards' racing debut, disaster struck the Shropshire jockey. He contracted tuberculosis and had to take time out from racing. But it was while he recuperated from the debilitating disease in a Norfolk sanatorium he met Bill Rowell, a fellow patient who was to have a major influence on his life. Rowell proved to be something of a mentor, teaching the young jockey how to cope with the riches that would come his way, as well as his popularity with high society in the class-ridden system that prevailed in Britain between the wars. The two became firm friends.

paragraph: By December 1926, Richards was back in the saddle, and returned to winning ways in the 1927 racing season. In 1932 he became stable jockey to Fred Darling, and that season, with 259 victories under his belt, he broke the record for the greatest number of wins in a year, a record he was to keep for nearly 50 years (he broke his own record in 1947 when riding 269 winners). The following year he set a world record winning twelve consecutive races including riding all six winners at Chepstow on 4 October. Achievement followed achievement, with Richards winning the 1947 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket Racecourse aboard Tudor Minstrel by 8 lengths, the largest winning margin in the race since 1900.

paragraph: Despite these huge successes, there was still one race where a win had always eluded him: The Epsom Derby. In 1942 he won 4 of the 5 'Classics' on horses, but still the big Derby win he craved remained out of his grasp. The 1953 Derby occurred on a week of great national, and personal celebration for Richards himself, as he became the first jockey to receive a knighthood.

paragraph: This time Sir Gordon rode Pinza, a huge horse for a flat-thoroughbred at 16 hands high, and he rode a terrific race. Pinza was in second position through much of the one and half mile (2414 m) course, competing against the Queen's own horse Aureole, and sweeping past the Aga Khan III's horse, Shikampur, into first place with just two furlongs (402 m) remaining. The long-awaited win was accompanied by thunderous cheers from the frenzied crowd. Winning The Derby was undoubtedly Sir Gordon's crowning victory, and he was promptly summoned from the winners' enclosure to be congratulated by the Queen.

paragraph: Sir Gordon's riding career ended in 1954 following a pelvis injury, but he continued to indulge his passion for racing, by becoming a horse trainer and advisor. As a trainer his main owners were the partnership of Sir Michael Sobell and his son-in-law Lord Weinstock. They placed their first horse, London Cry, with Richards in 1957 and he went on to win the Camridgeshire Handicap of 1958. He also trained for Lady Beaverbrook when she took up her interest in racing. An early owner was Dorothy Paget and when she died he was an influence in Sobell and Weinstock purchasing her stud (Ballymacoll Stud), breeding and racing stock. Training first at Ogbourne in Wiltshire and then at Whitsbury Stables in Hampshire, he sent out many winners and his best horse was the Sobell/Weinstock owned Reform. This colt won 11 of his 14 starts and his victories included the Champion Stakes, St James Palace Stakes and the Sussex Stakes. In addition he trained good horses such as Sunny Cove, Dart Board, Greengage and Pipe of Peace. His stable jockey for much of his training career was Scobie Breasley and when he retired Edward Hide took over. At the end of the 1970 season he was forced to retire from training. The details were that William Hill wished to restart his breeding operation from Whitsbury (which he leased to Richards). Sobell/Weinstock negotiated to buy West Ilsley Stables from Jakie Astor, but a stipulation of the purchase was that incumbent trainer, Dick Hern, and stable jockey, Joe Mercer, remained in place at West Ilsley.

paragraph: Given this situation he took up the role of Racing Manager in 1971 to Sir Michael Sobell and Lord Weinstock and Lady Beaverbrook and continued as such until his death. In this capacity he worked closely with Hern and was particularly active in the purchasing of yearlings for Lady Beaverbrook. Under his management these owners had tremendous success with horses such as Sun Prince, Sallust, Admetus, Cistus, Troy and Sun Princess (for Sobell/Weinstock) and Boldboy, Bustino, Relkino, Niniski and Petoski (for Lady Beaverbrook).

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: He died in 1986. His funeral service was held at St Mary's, Kintbury, Berkshire, and he was buried at St Mary's Church, Marlborough, Wiltshire.

paragraph: His legacy lives on in Shropshire today, with the Champion Jockey pub (now demolished) in Donnington named in his honour, and the 'Pinza Suite' in Oakengates Theatre, named after his winning horse.

paragraph: Not until 2002 was his record number of victories in a season exceeded, by jump jockey Tony McCoy. However, McCoy was able to utilise modern technology by flying between tracks and therefore compete in more races than Sir Gordon was able to.

paragraph: Richards' total of 4,870 winners is still a British Record. He also holds the record for the most consecutive winners ridden; 12 (half at a night meeting). He was British flat racing Champion Jockey a record 26 times.

paragraph: In 1999, the Racing Post listed him at number 17 in their list of 100 Makers of 20th century horse racing and number 1 in their list of the Top 50 jockeys of the 20th century.

paragraph: Priscus Attalus (d. after 416) was twice Roman usurper (in 409 and in 414), against Emperor Honorius, with Visigothic support. He was the last non-Christian Roman emperor.

paragraph: Priscus Attalus was a Greek from Asia whose father had moved to Italy under Valentinian I. Attalus was an important senator in Rome, who served as "praefectus urbi" in 409. He was twice proclaimed emperor by the Visigoths, in an effort to impose their terms on the ineffectual Emperor Honorius, in Ravenna.

paragraph: He held the title of Emperor in Rome, during 409, and later in Burdigala in 414. His two reigns lasted only a few months; the first one ended when Alaric believed it was hampering his negotiations with Honorius, and the second came to an end after he was abandoned by the Visigoths and eventually captured by Honorius' men. Attalus was obliged to participate in the triumph Honorius celebrated in the streets of Rome in 416, before finishing his days exiled in the Aeolian Islands.

paragraph: Jovinus

paragraph: Jovinus was a Gallo-Roman senator and claimed to be Roman Emperor (411–413 AD).

paragraph: Following the defeat of the usurper known as Constantine III, Jovinus was proclaimed emperor at Mainz in 411, a puppet supported by Gundahar, king of the Burgundians, and Goar, king of the Alans. Jovinus kept his position in Gaul for two years, long enough to issue coinage that showed him wearing the imperial diadem. He was supported by a number of local Gallo-Roman nobles who had survived Constantine's defeat.

paragraph: Under the pretext of Jovinus' imperial authority, Gundahar and his Burgundians established themselves on the left bank of the Rhine (the Roman side) between the river Lauter and the Nahe. Here they founded a kingdom with the old Romanized Gaulish settlement of Borbetomagus (Worms) as its capital.

paragraph: Jovinus' end came after the Visigoths under Ataulf left Italy (at Priscus Attalus' advice), ostensibly to join him, carrying with them as hostages the ex-emperor Attalus and Galla Placidia, Honorius' half-sister. Then Ataulf attacked and killed Sarus, who had also come to support Jovinus. Jovinus, offended at this act, then failed to consult Ataulf when he elevated his brother Sebastianus as co-emperor. Insulted, Ataulf allied his Visigoths with Honorius, and they defeated Jovinus' troops. Sebastianus was executed. Jovinus fled for his life, but was besieged and captured in Valentia (Valence, Drôme) and taken to Narbo (Narbonne), where Caius Posthumus Dardanus, the praetorian prefect (governor) in Gaul, who had remained loyal to Honorius, had him executed. Jovinus' and Sebastianus' heads were afterwards sent to Honorius and mounted on the walls of Ravenna (before being passed on to Carthage, where they were put on permanent display with the heads of four other usurpers).

paragraph: Eldiguz

paragraph: Shams al-Din Ildeniz, Eldigüz or Shamseddin Eldeniz (, died c. 1175–1176) was an atabeg of the Seljuq empire and founder of the dynasty of Eldiguzids (Atabegs of Azerbaijan), which held sway over Caucasian Albania, Iranian Azerbaijan, and most of northwestern Persia from the second half of the 12th century to the early decades of the 13th.

paragraph: A Kipchak by origin, he was formerly a freedman of Seljuq sultan Mehmed I's (1118-1131) vizier Kamal Din al-Simirumi and attained to the post of governor of Arran under Sultan Mas'ud (1134–1152). His raise as the most powerful peripheral emirs of the Seljuq empire was aided by the necessity of having a large army against the frequent incursions from the neighboring Kingdom of Georgia. He made himself virtually independent ruler of Azerbaijan by 1146. His marriage with Mu'mine Khatun, the widow of Sultan Toghrul II (1132–1133; Masud's brother and predecessor) afforded him to intervene in the dynastic strife which erupted upon Mas'ud's death in 1152. He succeeded, in 1160, in deposing Sulayman Shah and installing his stepson Arslan b. Toghrul (1160–1175) as sultan. Conferred with the rank of atabek, Ildeniz now became a chief protector of the sultan's authority.

paragraph: Ildeniz then arranged a marriage between his son Pahlawan and the daughter of Inanch, amir of Rey, in order to secure the allegiance of this powerful dynasty. Later Inanch allied himself with the amirs of Fars and Qazvin and attempted to depose Arslan in favor of his brother Muhammad. Ildeniz met the renegades on a battlefield and won a victory, but Inanch escaped to Rey. Ildeniz then marched to Isfahan and forced the atabek of Fars, Zangi, into submission. Soon he proceeded northward to recover the city of Dvin from the Georgian attack in 1162. A coalition of Muslim rulers led by Ildeniz defeated the Georgian king Giorgi III and forced him to withdraw into his possessions. Back at Hamadan, he had to deal with another invasion – this time by the Khwarezmians who planned to annex Khorasan. The Khwarezminas avoided the confrontation and retreated in the face of the advancing army of Ildeniz. Their ally Inanch was murdered at the request of Ildeniz in 1169. It was not, however, until the death of the Khwarazmshah Il-Arslan in 1172, when the threats on this sector were finally eliminated.

paragraph: By the time of his death around 1175–1176, Ildeniz was arguably the undisputed de facto master of many parts of the already fragmentized Great Seljuq Empire, centered on Iraq. He was buried at Hamadan, at a madrasa which he had founded.

paragraph: Aaron Keith Heal (born 13 March 1983) is an Australian cricketer who played domestically for Western Australia and later the Melbourne Renegades. A left-arm orthodox spinner and capable lower-order batsman, Heal debuted during the 2003–04 season, and played in the team that won that season's ING Cup. He established himself in Western Australia's first-class (Sheffield Shield) and limited-overs (Ford Ranger Cup) sides during the 2006–07 season, taking over from Brad Hogg as the team's primary spinner, but was selected less regularly over the following seasons. Heal's last first-class and one-day matches came during the 2010–11 season, but he was a regular when the team played in the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, maintaining both a low economy rate and a low bowling average. His performances at Twenty20 led to his naming in Australia's initial 30 man squad for the 2009 ICC World Twenty20. Heal signed with the Melbourne Renegades for inaugural season of the Big Bash League, playing four matches.
