paragraph: Saint Saviour (musician)

paragraph: Becky Jones, better known as Saint Saviour, is an English musician from Stockton-On-Tees. Formerly of the electro band The RGBs, she toured with Groove Armada as their lead singer between 2009 and 2012, whilst also producing her own solo music as Saint Saviour from 2010. After releasing two EPs, her debut album "Union" came out in June 2012. Her song "This Ain't No Hymn" then appeared in the 2012 trailer for the film "Miss Bala".

paragraph: Saint Saviour's second solo album "In the Seams" was released on 3 November 2014. The album was produced by fellow Northern English singer-songwriter Bill Ryder-Jones and features the Manchester Camerata Orchestra.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: As she writes on her official website, "I’ve been hanging about the periphery of music for a few years now, mainly collaborating with electronic producers, writing really positive, upbeat pop/dance tunes." Originally from Stockton-on-Tees, she moved to London in 2003. She adopted the name 'Saint Saviour' after seeing it regularly while running in the St Saviour's Dock area of London. She was lead singer in the RGBs, who toured with Groove Armada, before joining the latter. In 2010, Saint Saviour provided a vocal collaboration for Groove Armada on their album "Black Light", and toured as the band's singer.

paragraph: She subsequently launched her career as a solo artist, supporting Hurts on tour, in 2010 and releasing a series of EPs ("Anatomy" and "Suukei"). She has since released a first album "Union", and released a second album "In the Seams" in November 2014. The new album sees Saint Saviour take a more honest and personal approach to songwriting with a stripped back sound and strings played by the Manchester Camerata Orchestra.

paragraph: Her voice has drawn comparisons with Kate Bush, Elizabeth Fraser, and Sinéad O'Connor.

paragraph: She is also the head of songwriting at Tech Music School in London.

paragraph: Thomas Fane (died 1589)

paragraph: Thomas Fane (c. 1510–1589) of Badsell Manor in the parish of Tudeley in Kent, and of Mereworth Castle, Kent, was Sheriff of Kent. He is not to be confused with his younger brother, Thomas Fane (died 1607), of Burston, Hunton, Kent, a Member of Parliament for Dover.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Not to be confused with his younger brother also named Thomas Fane, he was born in about 1510 at Badsell, the elder son of George Fane (died 1572) of Badsell, Sheriff of Kent in 1557 and 1558 (whose monument survives in Tudeley Church), by his first wife Joan Waller (d.1545), daughter of William Waller of Groombridge, Kent. George Fane was the son of Richard Fane (or a'Vane) by his wife Agnes Stidulf, the daughter and heiress of Henry Stidulf of Badsell, the son of Thomas Stidulf (d.1457) and his wife Marion Badsell, heiress of Badsell, which latter couple's inscribed monumental brass survives in the chancel of Tudeley Church. George Fane married secondly Elizabeth Hendley, a daughter of Sir Walter Hendley of Corsehorne, Cranbrooke.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.:Early origins.

paragraph: The Fane/Vane family was descended from Captain Sir John Fane (or Ivon Vane as he was also known), who captured King John II of France at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356 and received a share of the huge ransom money, which took the French people eight years to raise. His descendants, the families of Fane (Earl of Westmorland) and Vane (Marquess of Londonderry), use for their heraldic crests a golden gauntlet which was awarded him at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, and also three golden gauntlets in their coat of arms.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After an education at Maidstone Grammar School Fane, who was a committed Protestant, was convicted of treason in 1554 for his involvement in Wyatt's rebellion and was sentenced to death. After four months of imprisonment in the Tower of London he was pardoned by Queen Mary on account of his youth and on the condition that he took the Oath of Loyalty. Fane went on to serve as High Sheriff of Kent in 1572 and in 1573 was knighted for services to the crown.

paragraph: A monument to Fane survives in St Lawrence's Church, Mereworth, Kent.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages & issue.

paragraph: He married twice:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Firstly to Elizabeth Culpepper who died in child-birth;

paragraph: BULLET::::- Secondly to Mary Neville, Baroness le Despencer, daughter and heiress of Henry Nevill, 6th Baron Bergavenny by his wife Frances Manners a daughter of Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland. Mary Neville was a great heiress, the last one of the House of Neville, and was one of England's largest landowners. Mary Neville inherited "suo jure" the titles of Baron le Despenser and Baron Bergavenny from her father. The Barony of le Despenser was called out of abeyance in 1604 in her favour and accordingly she became 3rd Baroness le Despenser. She was also, by modern doctrine, 7th and 5th Baroness Bergavenny, having inherited the senior two Baronies of Bergavenny from her father on his death, as well as his estates in Kent centred on Mereworth Castle. Her son was granted the title Earl of Westmorland when he was raised to that rank by King James I. The original Neville Earldom of Westmoreland had been confiscated in 1571 from Mary Neville's cousin Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland due to his participation in the Rising of the North. By Mary Neville he had issue including:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Francis Fane, 1st Earl of Westmorland, 4th Baron le Despenser, "de facto" 8th and "de jure" 6th Baron Bergavenny, eldest son and heir.

paragraph: Jake Wood (baseball)

paragraph: Jacob "Jake" Wood Jr. (born June 22, 1937) is a former professional baseball player. He played seven seasons in Major League Baseball with the Detroit Tigers (1961–1967) and the Cincinnati Reds (1967), primarily as a second baseman. He threw and batted right-handed.

paragraph: He was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the second oldest child and oldest son of nine children of Jacob, Sr., and Roberta Wood. Jake grew up in an integrated neighborhood, learned to play stickball and baseball as a youth, and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1955. He earned a scholarship to Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware, and he played one season of college ball.

paragraph: Wood was signed as an amateur free agent by the Tigers in early 1957. He attended Detroit's minor league camp in Lakeland, Florida, worked his way up through the Tigers' system, and batted more than .300 with five teams in the minors. Jake made his major league debut at age 23 on the Tigers' season-opener on April 11, 1961, starting at second base and batting leadoff in a 9-5 home loss to the Cleveland Indians. Facing Indians pitcher Jim Perry for the fourth time in the game during the seventh inning, the hard-hitting Wood collected his first career hit in a big way with a two-run home run that scored Bobo Osborne.

paragraph: Wood was the first African-American starter developed by Detroit's organization, but when right-handed pitcher Jim Proctor debuted for Detroit on September 14, 1959, he became the first black player developed by the Tigers' system.

paragraph: Quiet, agile, and talented, Wood remained the Tigers' starting second baseman from 1961 to 1963. He was third in the American League in stolen bases in 1961 (30), 1962 (24), and 1963 (18). During his rookie season in 1961, Wood was also among the American League leaders in runs (96), hits (171), and games (162). He led the AL in triples in 1961 with 14 and in strikeouts with 141—at the time, the record for most strikeouts in a season.

paragraph: Wood injured a finger late July 1963, and he missed the rest of the season. Starting in 1964, after Detroit acquired veteran second baseman Jerry Lumpe, Wood was a utility infielder and backup second baseman. He remained a reserve for the rest of his career, for example, playing in 98 games and hitting .252 in 1966. On June 23, 1967, during his seventh season with the Tigers, his contract was purchased by the Reds, for whom he played 16 games, with his final major league career appearance coming on August 11, 1967.

paragraph: Jake ended his major league career with a .250 batting average with 35 home runs, 168 runs batted in and 70 stolen bases.

paragraph: His brother, Richard Wood, played professional football from 1975 to 1984 with the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

paragraph: Jake lives in Pensacola, Florida where, as of 2012, he continued to remain active, playing in over-70 softball leagues and tournaments as well as playing racquetball. He also mentors inmates at the Escambia County, Florida jail as part of the "A Will and a Way" ministry, and he participates in Tigers' reunions, autograph shows, and fantasy camps as well as Negro Leagues events.

paragraph: Wood is a member of the Union County, New Jersey Baseball Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Arthur W. Murray

paragraph: Arthur Warren "Kit" Murray (December 26, 1918 – July 25, 2011) was a United States test pilot. He flew test flights on the Bell X-1 and the Bell X-5 aircraft.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Arthur Warren Murray was born to Charles C. "Chester" and Elsie Murray in the small town of Cresson nestled in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania on December 26, 1918.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.

paragraph: With World War II already underway in Europe, he joined the United States Army in 1939, and served in the Cavalry. Kit volunteered for pilot training the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and by 1943 was flying the P-40 as a fighter pilot in Africa. His unit worked its way across the continent from Casablanca to Tunisia, escorting B-25, B-26 and A-20 bombers as well as performing dive bombing and strafing missions. His unit was proud to never have lost a bomber to enemy fighters while under their escort.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Test piloting.

paragraph: After a year tour in Africa, Kit returned to the United States as a P-47 instructor at Bradley Field near Hartford, Connecticut. He was then assigned as a maintenance flight test pilot and sent to Maintenance Engineering School at Chanute Air Force Base. After completion of that school his commander found out about the Flight Test School at Wright Field and decided to send him there. Here was where Kit got his big break as he quickly found out this school was not for functional test flights, but for experimental test programs. He kept his mouth shut and stuck with the program, and soon was offered the opportunity to be the first permanent test pilot to be assigned to Muroc Airfield (later Edwards Air Force Base) in the California desert. Until then, pilots were based at the Wright Field Test Center and assigned TDY as needed to Muroc. Chuck Yeager was making such trips out there from the Test Center while he was flying the Bell X-1 on the first supersonic test flights. In early tests Kit was able to fly some of America's earliest jet aircraft including the Bell XP-59 and the P-80. He also flew the P-51, P-82, F-84, B-25, B-43, B-45 and many other fighter and bomber aircraft.

paragraph: Kit flight tested the X-1A and X-1B, the X-4, the X-5, and also flew the XF-92A. In the X-1A, Kit set altitude records of over 90,000 feet and was considered at the time, 1954, America's first space pilot. He was the first to see the curvature of the earth and the sky dark at mid-day. The X-1A was powered by four rocket motors using liquid oxygen and alcohol as fuel. Looking rather exotic even in photos today, the X-1 used nitrogen tanks to pressurize many of the systems including the fuel tanks, cockpit and the landing gear system. However, the flight controls were completely conventional with strictly mechanical linkage and no hydraulic boost.

paragraph: The X-1A was launched from the belly of a B-29 and later a B-50, and the flight profile had him using a 45 degree pitch attitude with airspeeds reaching about Mach 2. On his first couple of high altitude flights, Kit said his plane would snap into a spin when the motors burned out while approaching his peak altitude. He finally figured that the rocket motors were installed very slightly offset which, to keep it going straight, was causing him to have to cross control the plane increasingly as it accelerated. When the engines shut off, the cross-control condition, which was keeping the airplane from yawing, now became the perfect spin entry input.

paragraph: After two flights involving supersonic spin recovery, Kit was quick to neutralize the controls immediately upon motor shutdown in later flights. He had taped a string in front of the windshield to determine his rudder trim input. Kit was the first pilot to fly the X1-B aircraft in powered flight, and he said it was a much straighter flying rocket ship than the X-1A. The X-4 he flew was basically a flying wing type aircraft (no horizontal tail) and the X-5 was a variable sweep test platform.

paragraph: Kit was a test pilot at Muroc/Edwards from 1949 to 1955, an unusually long time for that assignment. Kit's next Air Force assignment was in Paris, France. He was in charge of technology integration for the U.S. Regional Organization there and was privileged to fly some of Europe's top airplanes at the time, including the Italian Fiat G-91, the French Mystere, and the British Javelin. After that one-year assignment he went to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as head of new developments at the Systems Project Office.

paragraph: During his time there, 1958–1960, he was Air Force manager for the X-15 program, which attained record altitudes of 354,000 feet and a speed record of 4,534 m.p.h. (Mach 6.7). The X-15 program contributed enormously to the space program and high speed aircraft research, and was acclaimed as the most successful test program of its type. Kit held the rank of Major at the time, but this was considered a Colonel's job. He was approached by Boeing in 1960. He retired with over 20 years of military service and became Boeing's "company astronaut" managing crew integration for the space program. In that capacity he massaged the gap between engineers and scientists who just wanted astronauts to ride in a sealed capsule, and pilots who wanted to be able to see what was going on during flights. Kit worked for Boeing on many space program projects from 1960 to 1969, from the X-20 (a single place space shuttle) to the Apollo program. He was Technical Integration Manager for Boeing at Cape Canaveral.

paragraph: Section::::Military career.:Engineering.

paragraph: In 1969 Kit moved to the Ft. Worth area to become Air Force Requirements Engineer for Bell Helicopter in the tilt rotor program. He worked for them until 1971, then gradually slowed down in retirement, but still doing many things interesting to him. He managed a hunting club, flew some charter work for Mustang Aviation in Dallas then did some courtroom reporting for the Bosque County newspaper.

paragraph: Matthias Petersen

paragraph: Matthias Petersen (born Matz Peters 24 December 1632 in Oldsum, died 16 September 1706) was a sea captain and whaler from Oldsum on the North Frisian island of Föhr. He became known for catching 373 whales throughout his career.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born as Matz Peters to a certain Peter Johnen (1595-1643) on Christmas Eve of 1632; his two older brothers were Jens (1627-1697) and Peter (1629-1678). He also had a younger brother John (or Jon) (1641-1691) and two younger sisters Thur and Jong Thur. As was the custom on the Frisian islands at the time, Peters left his home as a young boy of about 12 years to participate in the newly flourishing whaling business in the Netherlands and also took lessons in navigation. In the course of his travels he also changed his name to Matthias Petersen.

paragraph: Known as ""Glücklicher Matthias"", ""Matthias der Glückliche"" or ""Mathis der Glückliche"", all of which translate to "Lucky Mathew", he became eventually famous by catching a total of 373 whales within five decades and for gathering great riches thereby. And that was, as his tomb in the graveyard of St. Lawrence's church in Süderende testifies, the reason why he "with everybody's approbation accepted the surname of "Lucky"".

paragraph: The exploit of 373 caught whales was only possible since Petersen still participated in the so-called "bay fishery". At the time, the whalers would encounter great numbers of whales in the bays of Spitsbergen, so the catch for a successful return could quickly be made. Petersen also acquired his legendary catches due to his long experience as a navigator. Aged only 20, he had been made commander of a whaling vessel and for fifty years in total he would keep that occupation. As a result, he also made a financial fortune. During 19 voyages as a commander, Petersen acquired a total income of € 577,800 converted, which was a valuable asset given the circumstances of the time.

paragraph: In 1677, Petersen and his brother donated two great brass chandeliers to the St. Laurentii parish which are still in use today in the church of St. Lawrence.

paragraph: At the beginning of the Spanish War of Succession in 1701 Petersen's eldest son Matz, who was a commander as well, was abducted to St. Malo by a French privateer but was later released for ransom. On his last voyage in 1702 Petersen himself was caught when his ship was seized by a French privateer. He and his crew were only released after paying a ransom of 8,000 Reichsthalers. In the same year, his sons Ock and John would fall in battle with a French pirate.

paragraph: Matthias Petersen died in 1706 on his native island Föhr. His tombstone displays a vita in Latin and a coat of arms with the goddess of fortune and a whale.

paragraph: Section::::Offspring.

paragraph: Matthias Petersen had his children homeschooled by a private teacher. So his sons were able to study at a university. Clement became a preacher in Schwesing and presumably it was him who wrote the Latin text for the inscription on his father's tomb.

paragraph: Another son, Peter Matthiesen, studied at the Latin school of Husum and the University of Jena. He became bailiff of Eastern Föhr, Wyk auf Föhr and even Sylt at the same time.

paragraph: His son, also a Peter Matthiesen, later became bailiff of Eastern Föhr and bailiff in the district of Western Föhr and Amrum. By Count Struensee, a university companion, Mathiessen, Jr. was made mayor of Copenhagen in 1771. After Struensee's execution for treason he remained influential and became director of the trade and fisheries school in the then-time Danish town of Altona. From there, he helped to convey posts in the Greenland trade to many seafarers from Föhr.

paragraph: One great-great-grandson of Matthias Petersen, Jens Jacob Eschels from Nieblum on Föhr, became known by writing a detailed autobiography of his own exploits as a whaler and merchant captain.

paragraph: It is a lesser known fact that Matthias Petersen bequeathed 100 gold florins to the church which were not paid out by his heirs. After many years of quarrelling, the parish eventually decided to move Petersen's tomb, which had been installed inside the church amid great pomp 14 years prior, out into the graveyard where it still can be seen today.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was a lawyer trained at the Inner Temple. Horace Walpole called him "a mad High Church zealot" though on another occasion he wrote that Sydenham was "an honest devout gentleman, who always talked out of the Common Prayer Book".

paragraph: Section::::Career.:St Barbe inheritance.

paragraph: His financial situation was restored by a large inheritance from his great-great-uncle Sir John St Barbe, 1st Baronet (died 1723), MP, of Broadlands in Hampshire. As his heir and executor, Sydenham erected a marble monument in Barbe's memory in the chancel of Ashington Church, Somerset.

paragraph: Alex Barron (American football)

paragraph: Alex Benjamin Barron (born September 28, 1982) is a former American football offensive tackle. He played college football for Florida State University, and was a two-time consensus All-American. The St. Louis Rams drafted him with the 19th overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. He has also played for the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, and Oakland Raiders.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Barron was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina. He attended Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School, and was a two-sport star in football and basketball for the Wilkinson Bruins. In football, he was named a high school All-American by both PrepStar and "Football News", ranked the No. 3 lineman in the nation by PrepStar, named to the All-South team by the "Orlando Sentinel", and selected as Jeff Whittaker's Deep South Recruiting Guide South Carolina Player of the Year.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Barron attended Florida State University, where he played for coach Bobby Bowden's Florida State Seminoles football team from 2001 to 2004. He was a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) selection in 2003 and 2004, and was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American in 2003 and a unanimous first-team All-American in 2004. As a senior in 2004, Barron was also one of three finalists for the Outland Trophy. He graduated from Florida State with a bachelor's degree in social science.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:St. Louis Rams.

paragraph: Barron was the nineteenth pick overall by the St. Louis Rams in the 2005 NFL Draft. On August 14, 2005, Barron signed a five-year, $9.2 million contract with the Rams with escalators that could take the value to over $11 million. The contract featured $5.5 million in guaranteed money, not including the signing bonus of $1 million. He would be a starter for the Rams from his rookie season.

paragraph: During his five years with the Rams, Barron was the most penalized player in the NFL with more than 70 calls against him. In a 35–0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, his poor play resulted him being benched by the Rams staff. Barron became notorious for his false start and holding penalties. In 2009, he led the league with 7 holding penalties.

paragraph: He was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for linebacker Bobby Carpenter on May 10, 2010.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Dallas Cowboys.

paragraph: Barron's career as a Cowboy got off to an inauspicious beginning. In his first game and start in place of an injured Marc Colombo, the Cowboys appeared to have come back from a 13-7 deficit on a touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Roy Williams on the final play against the Washington Redskins on opening day, September 12. As time ran out of the game, Barron was flagged for holding Brian Orakpo. Because the penalty was called against the offense, the game was over with the Cowboys losing 13-7. Although he was active for 10 additional games, he would not play another down during the season and was not re-signed at the end of the year.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New Orleans Saints.

paragraph: On August 3, 2011, Barron signed with the New Orleans Saints. On August 18, he was put on the injured reserve list. He was waived with an injury settlement on October 22.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Seattle Seahawks.

paragraph: On May 15, 2012, he signed as a free agent with the Seattle Seahawks. He was cut on August 26.

paragraph: Monica Zetterlund

paragraph: Monica Zetterlund (born Eva Monica Nilsson; 20 September 1937 – 12 May 2005) was a Swedish singer and actress.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Zetterlund began by learning the classic jazz songs from radio and records, initially not knowing the language and what they sang about in English. Her hit songs included "Sakta vi gå genom stan" (Swedish cover of "Walking My Baby Back Home"; in Swedish a tribute to Stockholm town), "Visa från Utanmyra", "Sista jäntan", "Trubbel", "Gröna små äpplen" ("Little Green Apples"), "Monicas vals" ("Waltz for Debby"), "Stick iväg, Jack!" ("Hit the Road Jack"), "Att angöra en brygga", "Var blev ni av", "Måne över Stureplan" (cover of Sting's "Moon Over Bourbon Street") and "Under vinrankan!", among many, many others.

paragraph: She also interpreted the works of such Swedish singer-songwriters as Evert Taube, Olle Adolphson and Povel Ramel, and all through her life interpreted the works of international and American jazz musicians/songwriters. She worked with some of the greatest international jazz names including Louis Armstrong, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Steve Kuhn and Quincy Jones, and in the Scandinavian jazz world with people like Georg Riedel, Egil Johansen, Arne Domnérus, Svend Asmussen and Jan Johansson.

paragraph: In 1964, she recorded the critically acclaimed jazz album "Waltz for Debby" with Bill Evans, a record she herself described as "the best I've done" and was the most proud of. Her professional skill was amply demonstrated in this album in performing the challenging Harold Arlen song, "So Long, Big Time".

paragraph: Her long career also included the song "En gång i Stockholm" ("Winter City"); a jazz ballad with which she represented Sweden in the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest. She finished last, however (mainly because the song genre was not suitable for the competition) and scored the infamous "nul points", but still managed to remain successful in Sweden. Her collaboration with the comic duo Hasse & Tage (in the 1960s and 1970s) eventually led to a stage career in revues and films. Memorable are her parts in films "Att angöra en brygga" and "Äppelkriget", with her most memorable role being in Jan Troell's "Utvandrarna" (aka "The Emigrants"; with Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow in the leads) as Ulrika, a former prostitute who together with her teenage daughter Elin (portrayed by Zetterlund's daughter, Eva Lena Zetterlund) join the main characters in their emigration to America in the 1850s, a role for which Zetterlund received a Guldbagge Award for Best Supporting Actress. She appeared in more than 20 films and television series throughout her life.

paragraph: Section::::Health and death.

paragraph: She suffered from severe scoliosis which began after a childhood accident, and as a result was forced to retire from performing in 1999.

paragraph: On 12 May 2005, she died following an accidental fire in her apartment in Stockholm, probably due to her habit of smoking in bed.
