paragraph: Ereck Flowers (born April 25, 1994) is an American football offensive tackle for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Miami and was drafted by the New York Giants with the ninth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: A native of Miami, Flowers originally attended Krop High School in the Ives Estates, where he was a basketball standout and did not focus on football until his junior year. For his senior year, he transferred to Norland High School in Miami Gardens, where he joined a talented varsity that featured blue chip running back Duke Johnson. Flowers helped the Vikings to a 15–0 season record and a FHSAA Class 5A championship over Crawfordville Wakulla.

paragraph: Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Flowers was ranked as the 20th-best offensive tackle in his class. "ESPN" labelled him a three-star recruit and ranked him 57th in his position. He chose Miami (FL) over offers from Purdue, Florida State, and Central Florida.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: As a true freshman at the University of Miami in 2012, Flowers played in all 12 games at right tackle, making four starts. As a sophomore in 2013, he started all 12 games at left tackle. He returned as the starting left tackle in 2014. On December 29, 2014, Flowers announced that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2015 NFL Draft.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Giants.

paragraph: On April 30, 2015, Flowers was selected with the ninth overall pick by the New York Giants in the 2015 NFL Draft. He was the highest selected Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman since Bryant McKinnie in 2002. On June 18, 2015, Flowers signed a 4-year $14.3 million contract with the Giants. He was named the Giants starting left tackle for Week 1 and played in 15 games in his rookie season.

paragraph: Although he wore number 76 jersey throughout his entire rookie season, Flowers decided to switch to his college number 74 during the spring of 2016 after it was left available with the departure of teammate Geoff Schwartz.

paragraph: Flowers has been criticized for not living up to expectations through his 3rd year in the league. Since he gave up 169 total pressures which is the most of any tackle in the NFL during that time. Those stats and his numerous penalties have caused Pro Football Focus to rate him as the 54th best tackle in the NFL. In 2018, former offensive line teammate and NFL analyst Geoff Schwartz accused Flowers of "quitting" on the team, of missing multiple blocks, and of having poor technique.

paragraph: On May 2, 2018, the Giants declined the fifth-year option on Flower's contract, making him a free agent in 2019. He was moved over to right tackle after the Giants signed veteran Nate Solder to be their left tackle. On September 23, 2018, the Giants decided to bench Flowers in favor of Chad Wheeler at right tackle after his continued struggles. On October 8, 2018, the Giants announced plans to release Flowers if a trade with a team couldn't be worked out. The next day, Flowers was officially released by the Giants.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Jacksonville Jaguars.

paragraph: On October 12, 2018, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Flowers to a one-year contract after Josh Wells was placed on injured reserve. The move reunited him with Jacksonville Jaguars’ Vice President of Operations Tom Coughlin who was his head coach in his first season with the New York Giants.

paragraph: He was named the starting left tackle in Week 11, and started there the rest of the season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Washington Redskins.

paragraph: On March 18, 2019, Flowers signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Washington Redskins.

paragraph: Bill Felstiner

paragraph: William L. F. Felstiner (born December 14, 1929), usually known as Bill Felstiner, is a socio-legal scholar.

paragraph: Section::::Education and early career.

paragraph: Bill Felstiner was born in New York, and graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and Yale College. He received his LL.B. from Yale Law School in 1958. In 1965, he was hired as Regional Legal Advisor of the USAID Mission to Greece & Turkey and in due course appointed Assistant Director of the US AID Mission to India (until 1968).

paragraph: Section::::Teaching and Research.

paragraph: In 1969, Bill Felstiner started a university teaching career as Associate Dean and Lecturer at Yale Law School. While at Yale he helped direct the Yale Program in Law and Modernization. In 1973 he joined UCLA as Assistant Professor. In 1976 he decided to devote full-time to research,working, first, at the USC's Social Science Research Institute, then at the Rand Corporation's Civil Justice Institute and, finally, at the American Bar Foundation, of which he was executive director. While at USC he served as co-PI of the US Justice Department-funded Civil Litigation Research Project. Then he moved back to teaching and to the university. After teaching in Political Science at Northwestern University, he became professor of sociology in the Law and Society Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara (1992–1999). In the years 2000-2003 he was director of the International Institute for the Sociology of Law in Oñati (Gipuzkoa, Spain). From 1995-2005 he also held the position of Distinguished Research Professor of Law at Cardiff University (Wales, UK).

paragraph: Section::::Areas of special interest.

paragraph: In his early work, Bill Felstiner focussed on alternative ways to solve conflicts (avoidance, mediation, litigation etc.), touring Western Europe for possible models both in criminal and civil procedure. He continued his interest in litigation and alternatives to litigation as co-PI of the Civil Litigation Research Project (CLRP)a joint venture of USC and the University of Wisconsin funded by the US Department of Justice, conducted a major study of litigation in federal courts and the operation of alternative fora for civil disputes. Felstiner participated in all aspects of CLRP's work and (together with Rick Abel and Austin Sarat),developed the idea of a disputes pyramid and the formula "naming, blaming, claiming", which refers to different stages of conflict resolution and levels of the pyramid. At Rand's Civil Justice Institute, he initiated a long-term investigation into asbestos litigation. After that he concentrated his organizational and research energies on the legal profession, publishing a book on divorce lawyering and editing one on the legal culture of global business transactions. From 1994-2000, he also chaired the influential Working Group on Legal Professions of the Research Committee on Sociology of Law, which produced a number of important collections.

paragraph: Section::::Humanitarian Aid Organizer.

paragraph: Almost forty years after his work with USAID, Bill Felstiner returned to this earlier vocation. During the Katrina disaster in 2005, he volunteered and worked as the director of one on the largest shelters for the homeless of New Orleans. In 2007 he founded, together with colleagues from Santa Barbara, the Chad Relief Foundation (CRF) and became its first director. The organization is a non-profit NGO, whose objective is to provide assistance to refugees from the Central African Republic in South Chad and to the local population surrounding the refugee camps.

paragraph: Sarah P. Monks

paragraph: Sarah Preston Monks (1841–1926) was an American naturalist, educator, scientific illustrator, and poet, based for much of her career in San Pedro, California. She was the first zoology instructor at Los Angeles State Normal School, a precursor to the University of California, Los Angeles, where she taught for over 20 years, and published on diverse topics including reptiles, amphibians, spiders, and marine biology.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Sarah Preston Monks was born in Cold Spring, New York, the daughter of John Monks and Sarah Charlotte Monks (née Jolly). Her brother John A. S. Monks became a noted New England artist and her sister Mary E. Monks lived in Massachusetts. She studied at Vassar College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1871 and a master's degree in 1876. She read one of her own poems, "Waiting for the Tide", at Vassar's 1871 graduation ceremony. She pursued further technical training at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: While still in Philadelphia, she worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences, classifying ornithological specimens. She later moved to California, where she taught for one year at the College of Santa Barbara before joining the faculty of the Los Angeles State Normal School in 1884 where she became the school's first instructor of zoology. She taught zoology, chemistry and drawing at the Normal School until her retirement in 1906 and was curator of the school's museum. She also lectured on entomology and microscopy at the school's Teachers' Institutes (continuing education programs for teachers in Southern California). Meanwhile, she worked on research projects in her own time, and in collaboration with the William Emerson Ritter's laboratory on Terminal Island. She collected specimens and published scientific and popular articles on turtles, lizards, salamanders, spiders, shipworms, and diatoms. She also published poetry. In her seventies, she consulted on topics including marine biology, entomology, botany, and geology from her cottage and garden in San Pedro. "I am pleasing myself as I please," she explained of her unconventional interests. "I have been bossed all my life."

paragraph: Publications by Monks included the textbook "Anatomy Physiology Hygiene" (though she was not credited as author of this text, only as illustrator), "A Partial Biography of the Green Lizard" ("The American Naturalist", 1881), "Regeneration of the Body of a Starfish" ("Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia", 1903), "Variability and Autotomy of Phataria" ("Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia" 1904). She was listed as a member of the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory in 1888, and in 1894 as a founding member of the laboratory's Biological Association. The snail "Fusinus monksae" is believed to have been named for her.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Monks had a cottage named "Phataria" on Sea Pansy Bay in the Los Angeles Harbor, next door to the cottage of her friend, Charles Fletcher Lummis. She donated her library of scientific publications and other materials to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in 1915. She died in San Pedro on July 10, 1926, aged 85 years.

Heimskringla relates that when Halfdan's father was killed, Åsa took the 1 year-old Halfdan and returned to Agder, where Halfdan was raised. When he was 18 or 19 years old, Halfdan became king of Agder. He quickly began adding to his kingdom, through political negotiation and military conquest. He divided the kingdom of Vestfold with his brother Olaf and, through military action, persuaded King Gandalf of Vingulmark to cede half his kingdom. Based on the formulaic nature of his ties to his predecessors, his strong affiliation with Agder, and the failure of an early saga dedicated to him to name any family connections, some scholars have suggested that the linkage to the earlier Yngling dynasty of Vestfold was a later invention, created to associate a conquering Halfdan and his son Harald Fairhair with the family glorified in the "Ynglingatal", whom he had displaced.

paragraph: Halfdan next is said to have subdued an area called Raumarike. To secure his claim to Raumarike, Halfdan first defeated and killed the previous ruler, Sigtryg Eysteinsson, in battle. He then defeated Sigtryg's brother and successor Eystein, in a series of battles. This established Halfdan's claim not only to Raumarike, but also to half of Hedmark, the core of Sigtryg and Eystein's kingdom. These details are only mentioned in "Heimskringla".

paragraph: "Fagrskinna" and "Heimskringla" both agree that Halfdan's first wife was Ragnhild, daughter of King Harald Gulskeg (Goldbeard) of Sogn. Halfdan and Ragnhild had a son named "Harald" after his grandfather, and they sent him to be raised at his grandfather's court. Harald Gulskeg, being elderly, named his grandson as his successor, shortly before his death. Ragnhild died shortly after her father, and the young king Harald fell sick and died the next spring. When Halfdan heard about his son's death, he travelled to Sogn and laid claim to the title of king. No resistance was offered, and Halfdan added Sogn to his realm.

paragraph: The narrative in "Heimskringla" then adds another conquest for King Halfdan. In Vingulmark, the sons of Gandalf of Vingulmark, Hysing, Helsing, and Hake, attempted to ambush Halfdan at night, but he escaped into the forest. After raising an army, he returned to defeat the brothers, killing Hysing and Helsing. Hake fled the country, and Halfdan became king of all of Vingulmark.

paragraph: According to "Heimskringla", Halfdan's second wife, also named Ragnhild, had been kidnapped from her home by Hake, a "berserker" who encountered her father in Hadeland and killed him. Halfdan had her kidnapped from Hake, so that he could marry her. "Fagrskinna" does not mention any of these details. However, both sagas agree that Ragnhild and Halfdan had a son who was also named Harald. (Among the more unlikely claims in "Fagrskinna" and "Heimskringla" are that this woman was Ragnhild Sigurdsdotter, daughter of Sigurd Hjort, king of Ringerike. This would make Ragnhild the granddaughter or even great-granddaughter of Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye – an impossibility, given that most sources suggest that Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye was active only in the "late" 9th century, which would mean that he was born a generation or two "after" Halfdan the Black.)

paragraph: Section::::Halvdanshaugen.

paragraph: "Heimskringla", "Fagrskinna", "Ágrip" and "Historia Norwegiæ" all relate that Halfdan drowned when he fell through the ice at the inlet Røykenvik in the lake Randsfjorden on his return home from Hadeland. His horse and sleigh broke through ice weakened by cattle dung near a watering hole dug in the frozen lake. He was buried in a mound at Stein in Ringerike ("Halvdanshaugen på Stein")

paragraph: "Heimskringla"s narrative adds that each of the districts of his kingdom wanted to claim his grave, and that it was agreed to divide his body into four pieces so each district could bury a piece of it, resulting in four different sites called "Halvdanshaugen" (from the Old Norse word "haugr" meaning mound). According to this version, only his head is buried in Ringerike.

paragraph: Section::::Sources.

paragraph: No contemporary sources mention Halfdan, and the details of his life that are provided by later kings' sagas are considered semi-legendary by modern historians. Although he has his own saga in Heimskringla, it lacks any skaldic verse, which is normally used by Snorri as supporting evidence and this, combined with its rather legendary character, leads historians to be wary of seeing much veracity in it. The "Black" nickname was given to him because of his black hair.

paragraph: Halfdan is mentioned in Snorri Sturluson's "Heimskringla" (c. 1230), "Fagrskinna" (c. 1220), "Ágrip" (c. 1190) and "Historia Norwegiæ" (late 12th century). The most elaborate story is found in the latest saga, "Heimskringla". According to the Latin "Historia Norwegiæ", Halvdan was a king "in montanis" (in the mountains), which is usually equivalent to Oppland in the Old Norse. This conflicts with the version told in "Heimskringla".

paragraph: Derek Bailey (guitarist)

paragraph: Derek Bailey (29 January 1930 – 25 December 2005) was an English avant-garde guitarist and figure in the free improvisation movement. Bailey abandoned conventional performance techniques found in jazz, exploring atonality, noise, and whatever unusual sounds he could produce with the guitar. Much of his work was released on his own label Incus Records. In addition to solo work, Bailey collaborated frequently with other musicians and recorded with collectives such as Spontaneous Music Ensemble and Company.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Bailey was born in Sheffield, England. A third-generation musician, he began playing guitar at the age of ten. He studied with Sheffield City organist C. H. C. Biltcliffe, an experience he disliked, and with his uncle George Wing and John Duarte. As an adult he worked as a guitarist and session musician in clubs, radio, and dance hall bands, playing with Morecambe and Wise, Gracie Fields, Bob Monkhouse, Kathy Kirby, and on the television program "Opportunity Knocks".

paragraph: Bailey's earliest foray into free improvisation was in 1953 with two guitarists in Glasgow. He was part of a trio founded in 1963 with Tony Oxley and Gavin Bryars called Joseph Holbrooke, named after English composer Joseph Holbrooke, although the group never played his work. The band played conventional jazz at first, but later moved in the direction of free jazz.

paragraph: In 1966, Bailey moved to London. At the Little Theatre Club run by drummer John Stevens, he met like-minded musicians such as saxophonist Evan Parker, trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, and double bassist Dave Holland, with whom he formed the Spontaneous Music Ensemble. In 1968 they recorded "Karyobin" for Island Records. Bailey formed the Music Improvisation Company with Parker, percussionist Jamie Muir, and Hugh Davies on homemade electronics. The band continued until 1971. He was a member of the Jazz Composer's Orchestra and formed the trio Iskra with double bassist Barry Guy and trombonist Paul Rutherford that was named after a newspaper published by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin. He was a member of Oxley's sextet until 1973.

paragraph: In 1970, Bailey founded the record label Incus with Tony Oxley, Evan Parker, and Michael Walters. It was the first musician-owned independent label in the UK. Oxley and Walters left early in the label's history; Parker and Bailey continued as co-directors until the mid-1980s, when friction between them led to Parker's departure. Bailey continued the label with his partner Karen Brookman until his death in 2005.

paragraph: With other musicians, Bailey was a co-founder in 1975 of "Musics" magazine, described as "an impromental experivisation arts magazine".

paragraph: In 1976, Bailey started the band Company, which at various times included Han Bennink, Steve Beresford, Anthony Braxton, Buckethead, Eugene Chadbourne, Lol Coxhill, Johnny Dyani, Fred Frith, Tristan Honsinger, Henry Kaiser, Steve Lacy, Keshavan Maslak, Misha Mengelberg, Wadada Leo Smith, and John Zorn. Bailey organized the annual music festival Company Week, which lasted until 1994. In 1980, he wrote the book "Improvisation: Its Nature and Practice". In 1992, the book was adapted by Channel 4 in the UK into a four-part TV series, "On the Edge: Improvisation in Music", which was narrated by Bailey.

paragraph: Bailey died in London on Christmas Day in 2005. He had been suffering from motor neurone disease.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: For listeners unfamiliar with experimental music, Bailey's distinctive style can be challenging. Its most noticeable feature is its extreme discontinuity, often from note to note. There may be enormous intervals between consecutive notes, and rather than aspiring to the consistency of timbre typical of most guitar-playing, Bailey interrupts it as much as possible. Four consecutive notes, for instance, may be played on an open string, a fretted string, via harmonics, and using a nonstandard technique such as scraping the string with the pick or plucking below the bridge.

paragraph: Playing both acoustic and electric guitars (although more usually the latter), Bailey extended the possibilities of the instrument in radical ways, obtaining wider array of sounds than are usually heard. He explored the full vocabulary of the instrument, producing timbres and tones ranging from the most delicate tinklings to fierce noise attacks. (The sounds he produced have been compared to those made by John Cage's prepared piano.) Typically, he played a conventional instrument, in standard tuning, but his use of amplification was often crucial. In the 1970 his standard set-up involved two independently controlled amplifiers to give a stereo effect onstage, and he often would use the swell pedal to counteract the normal attack and decay of notes. He made original use of feedback, a technique demonstrated on the album "String Theory" (Paratactile, 2000). Throughout both his commercial and improvising careers his principal guitar was a 1963 Gibson ES 175 model.

paragraph: Although Bailey occasionally made use of prepared guitar in the 1970s (he would, for example, put paper clips on the strings, wrap his instruments in chains, or add further strings to the guitar), often for Dadaist/theatrical effect, by the end of that decade he had, in his own words, "dumped" such methods. Bailey argued that his approach to music-making was actually far more orthodox than performers such as Keith Rowe of the improvising collective AMM, who treats the guitar purely as a "sound source" rather than as a musical instrument. Instead, Bailey preferred to "look for whatever 'effects' I might need through technique".

paragraph: Eschewing labels such as "jazz" and "free jazz", Bailey described his music as "non-idiomatic". In the second edition of his book "Improvisation...", Bailey indicated that he felt that free improvisation was no longer "non-idiomatic" in his sense of the word, as it had become a recognizable genre and musical style itself. Bailey frequently sought performance contexts that would provide new stimulations and challenge that would prove musically "interesting", as he often put it. This led to work with collaborators such as Pat Metheny, John Zorn, Lee Konitz, David Sylvian, Cyro Baptista, Cecil Taylor, Keiji Haino, tap dancer Will Gaines, Drum 'n' Bass DJ Ninj, Susie Ibarra, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the Japanese noise rock group Ruins. Despite often performing and recording in a solo context, he was far more interested in the dynamics and challenges of working with other musicians, especially those who did not necessarily share his approach. As he put it in a March 2002 article of "Jazziz" magazine:

paragraph: Bailey was also known for his dry sense of humour. In 1977, "Musics" magazine sent the question "What happens to time-awareness during improvisation?" to about thirty musicians associated with the free improvisation scene. The answers received answers that varied from long, and theoretical essays to plain, direct comments. Typically pithy was Bailey's reply: "The ticks turn into tocks and the tocks turn into ticks."

paragraph: "Mirakle", a 1999 recording released in 2000, shows Bailey moving into the free funk genre, performing with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Calvin Weston. "Carpal Tunnel", the last album to be released during his lifetime, documented his struggle with the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in his right hand which had rendered him unable to grip a plectrum. The problem marked the onset of motor neurone disease, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Characteristically, he refused invasive surgery to treat his condition, instead being more "interested in finding ways to work around" this limitation. He chose to "relearn" guitar playing techniques by utilising his right thumb and index fingers to pluck the strings.

paragraph: Grigore Cobălcescu

paragraph: Grigore Cobălcescu (September 22, 1831 – May 21, 1892) was a Moldavian, later Romanian geologist and paleontologist who is credited with introducing both fields into his country.

paragraph: Born in Iași, he graduated from the local Engineering and Architecture School in 1850. From that time until 1860, he taught at the city's high schools and actively promoted practical scientific education. From 1859 to 1862, he attended the University of Paris on a state scholarship, and returned with a degree in natural sciences. In January 1864, he became a professor at the University of Iași, in the philosophy faculty's physiology and geology department; he had begun teaching a course on natural sciences there in April 1862, as a volunteer. He remained a professor at the university until his death, and was dean of the sciences faculty from 1867 to 1870.

paragraph: He was also involved in social and political life, and became Senator for the university in 1872. He was one of the few who protested against the commercial convention with Austria-Hungary, which he claimed "transforms Romania into a veritable colony of this empire", and resigned his seat following its adoption in 1875. However, his reputation rests on the fact that he was the founder of geology in Romania. The work with which he introduced this discipline to his country was the 1862 study "Calcariul dela Răpidea" ("The Limestone at Repedea"). Because he also described paleofauna and paleoflora therein, he is also viewed as the father of Romanian paleontology.

paragraph: His most important works, however, are considered to be "Studii geologice și paleontologice asupra unor tărâmuri terțiare din unele părți ale României" ("Geological and Paleontological Studies of Certain Tertiary Formations in Some Parts of Romania") and "Despre originea și modul de zăcere a petrolului în general și în particular în Carpați" ("On the Origin and Mode of Storage of Petroleum in General and in Particular in the Carpathians"). The first, published at Iași in 1883, introduced the modern study of the Neogene to Romania; first described the bivalve genus "Psilodon", later called "Prosodacna" by Tournouer; and made observations regarding the presence and distribution of hydrocarbons. The second, published at the Romanian Academy in 1887, synthesizes research on petroleum geology as well as introducing original concepts, the result of personal research and an application of extant data on the situation in Romania. He was the first to theorize that petroleum existed in the Wallachian Platform and theorized a connection between petroleum deposits and halite deposits in molasse.

paragraph: Before the Sarmatian stage of the Miocene was proposed, Cobălcescu, drawing on the fossils at Repedea and the type of water in which they formed, suggested several subdivisions of this stage (Volhynian, upper and lower Bessarabian) and argued that the Moldavian Platform evolved as a carbonate platform, a view still accepted by some researchers. He laid the basis for the scientific museums in the geography and geology faculty, first by setting aside rooms for his personal collections, and then by purchasing some 10,000 rocks and fossils from a German firm, for use in teaching and research. He was elected a titular member of the Romanian Academy in 1886. He died in his laboratory at night while preparing his course for the following day.

paragraph: William Haggar

paragraph: William Haggar (10 March 1851 – 4 February 1925) was a British pioneer of the cinema industry. Beginning his career as a travelling entertainer, Haggar, whose large family formed his theatre company, later bought a Bioscope show and earned his money in the fairgrounds of south Wales. In 1902 he began making his own short fictional films, making him one of the earliest directors in Britain. His films were shown worldwide and his short "Desperate Poaching Affray" is believed to have influenced early narrative drama in American film, especially in chase genre. As a director Haggar is recognised for his use of editing and the depth of staging in his melodramas and crime films.

paragraph: Section::::Early history.

paragraph: Haggar was born in Dedham, Essex, where he was apprenticed as a shipbuilder and later a watchmaker. An accomplished musician, Haggar left home at the age of eighteen and joined a troupe of travelling players, working as a stage carpenter. In 1870 he married Sarah Walton, daughter of Richard Walton proprietor of a travelling theatre. The Waltons were a well-known family of professional actors and pantomimists who had been in the entertaining business for many generations. Shortly after their marriage Haggar and Sarah set up their own company. The couple had eleven children, each born in a different county of England and Wales as their toured their show, each of their children brought up to the profession of the stage. Tragedy struck the family in 1890, when their eldest daughter, Nell, drowned in the River Wye while visiting Chepstow. In 1891 with the birth of their youngest daughter Lillian, the Haggars had eight surviving children, all of whom would later form the regular casts of his films.

paragraph: Moving the theatre deeper into industrial Wales, Haggar found an audience that brought him an unprecedented level of prosperity. The remote villages of Wales welcomed the travelling theatre, known as 'The Castle Theatre', which by now had a repertoire of over a hundred Victorian melodramas and comedies, to which Haggar later included a portable photographic studio having acquired a plate camera. 'The Castle Theatre', his fit-up theatre and their props were originally drawn by horseback, later he purchased a traction engine to do the job. The company travelled around mid and west Wales to the south Wales valleys, wintering in Aberdare.

paragraph: In 1897, on a trip to London, Haggar visited one of the early cinemas. Captivated by the show he bought a projector from opticians J. Wrench and Sons, for the price of £80–00, either that same year or in 1898. On 5 April 1898 he made his first public performance of his 'Bioscope' show at Aberavon fair making £15–00 on the first night. The films shown were "Turn out of the London Fire Brigade" (believed to be the 1897 Lumiére film) and "Train emerging from a Tunnel". He continued to take his show around the fairgrounds of South Wales and decided to give 'The Castle Theatre' to his eldest son William, while he focused his energies on promoting 'Haggar's Royal Electric Bioscope' show. The family motto of 'follow the coal' almost lead to Haggar's ruin, when the coal strike of 1898 led to the Welsh miners forgoing the luxury of paid entertainment.

paragraph: Section::::Films.

paragraph: In 1901, Haggar began making his own films, filming the arrival of a train at Burry Port. Although the filming of everyday events was popular for early experimenters of film, Haggar and his family had access to props, costumes and the understanding of how to both act and to entertain the public. In 1902 Haggar began making narrative shorts, and these found distribution from Gaumont, Charles Urban and the Warwick Trading Company. 1902 saw Haggar film "The Maid of Cefn Ydfa" based on the well known Welsh folk tale. Shot in Maesteg, with his family as the cast, the main filming took little over an hour and a half with seven scenes. "The Maid of Cefn Ydfa" was shown at the Swansea fair and caused a sensation with people flocking to see it. The film made Haggar's fortune, and was one of the earliest productions to relate to a regional audience.

paragraph: Amongst Haggar's productions of 1903 was his crime chase film "Desperate Poaching Affray". Including Haggers first extant panning shots, the film is now regarded as one of two or three films that influenced early narrative drama in United States cinema, especially in the genre of the chase movie. in the film, poachers are chased by gamekeepers and police officers before being captured. The film includes panning shots, actors running past camera conducted with a sense of urgency and speed. The film was a great success and sold over 480 copies in Europe and America and was widely pirated.

paragraph: Contemporary accounts describe Haggar's films as considerable achievements given their production conditions. He never used a studio, and many of his shorts were shot near a river and wrapped up in under two hours. His work was held in high esteem by Gaumont who presented him with a film camera, mechanical tripod and supplied him with film stock, all free of charge. Haggar handed over all his negatives to his films in return for retaining the rights in south Wales, and he is believed to have lost out financially in this relationship when the likes of his 1905 "The Salmon Poachers – A Midnight Melee" sold 480 prints at £6.17s apiece for Gaumont. "The Salmon Poachers", a 274ft. film, was praised by the company for its 'magnificent quality throughout' and hailed it as 'the most realistic moonlight effect picture we have ever issued'. Haggar's films were also recognised for their intelligent use of depth of staging and screen edges, while film academic Noël Burch praised Haggar's effective use of off-screen space.

paragraph: Despite filming during the height of the Welsh religious revival, Haggar's films were often steeped in violence, much to the delight of his audiences. In "Desperate Poaching Affray" the villains are seen firing guns at their pursuers. While his 1905 melodrama, "The Life of Charles Peace", the central character, based on the notorious English burglar and murderer, makes the viewer complicit in his crimes by approaching the camera and thumbing his nose after sending a police officer in the wrong direction. The film starred much of Haggars family with his son Walter taking the central character role, while his wife played Peace's mother.

paragraph: In total, Haggar made more than 30 documented films, though only four are known to exist today: "Desperate Poaching Affray", "The Life of Charles Peace", "The Sheepstealer" (1908) and "Revenge!" (1904). The "Sheepstealer" was previously lost, and was rediscovered in the 1970s in the collection of the early film educator Abbé Joseph Joye in Switzerland; and restored by the British Film Institute in the 1990s. "Revenge!" was rediscovered in 2007 in the collection of the US Library of Congress, and is considered one of his most violent films.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After the death of his wife Sarah in 1909, he settled permanently in Aberdare, and in 1910 he opened William Haggars Coliseum, later renamed Haggar's Electric Palace, on a permanent pitch at Market Yard. This was followed by cinemas in Llanelli, Pontardulais, Neath, Mountain Ash and Pembroke. In 1912 he remarried, to Mary Davies, daughter of Jenkin Davies, the proprietor of the 'Bird in Hand Inn' in Aberdare. He and Mary had a house built in Abernant, which they called 'Kinema House'. He was elected to the Merthyr Board of Guardians of the Poor in 1913 and the next year he became a councillor to Aberdare Urban District Council.

paragraph: With a film career of over 25 years behind him Haggar died on 4 February 1925 at 'Maer-yr-haf' in Elm Grove, Aberdare, the home of his son Walter.

paragraph: Franz Ferdinand, Duke of Hohenberg (13 September 1927 – 16 August 1977), was the eldest son of Maximilian, Duke of Hohenberg and Countess Maria of Waldburg zu Wolfegg und Waldsee. He was also a grandson of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his morganatic wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. As a result of that morganatic marriage, the Hohenbergs were excluded from the line of succession to the Austro-Hungarian throne.

paragraph: Following the socialist take-over in Vienna during the chaos at the close of The Great War and their exiling of the monarchy, all Austrian titles were subsequently abolished by law in 1919. From then on, names officially consisted only of forename and surname, without von or titles, scilicet "Franz Ferdinand Hohenberg". Most simply ignored this Decree.

paragraph: Section::::Family.
