paragraph: Joseph Sec (1715, Cadenet, Vaucluse - 1794) was a bourgeois, a Jacobin and a grey penitent from Aix-en-Provence. He was a master carpenter and wood merchant.

paragraph: Section::::Joseph-Sec Mausoleum.

paragraph: In 1792, he completed a cenotaph close to the Saint-Jacques hospital, and it was made a monument historique in 1969. Reminiscent of buildings from the French Revolution, it is crowned by the figure of Revolutionary Justice, which stands above the representation of Moses delivering the Law. Statuary within the garden represent Old Testament figures such as Noah (with both an ark and bunches of grapes), Aaron wearing the priestly breastplate, David with the head of Goliath, and Jael slaying Sisera. Other reliefs thematically echo the New Testament, Freemasonry, and revolutionary ideals. These statues, commissioned by Joseph Sec before his death were probably executed by Barthélémy-François Chardigny, who may have also done some of the bas-reliefs.

paragraph: The mausoleum can be found at 8, avenue Pasteur, in Aix-en-Provence.

paragraph: Bernard Gilles Penot

paragraph: Bernard Gilles Penot (1519 in Guyenne – 1617 in Yverdon-les-Bains) was a French Renaissance alchemist and a friend of Nicolas Barnaud.

paragraph: Penot studied in Basel. Penot came under the influence of Paracelsus through Adam von Bodenstein. He supposedly squandered his entire fortune on his alchemical studies, while searching for the Philosopher's Stone. In the end, he distanced himself from alchemy, which he had previously defended in writing.

paragraph: Penot occasionally served as doctor in Frankenthal (Pfalz). He travelled a great deal and had a wide network of contacts and correspondents in England, Bohemia and Switzerland, and including Jacob Zwinger and Andreas Libavius. He died impoverished at the hospital in Yverdon-les-Bains (Ifferten), where he had been the city doctor from 1596.

paragraph: The influential three volume Theatrum Chemicum from 1602, a compendium of early alchemical writings, included the text of entitled: " Treatise varii, the vera praeparatione et usu Medicamentorum chemicorum (Praefatio, De medicamentis chemicis)." According to Didier Kahn he was also the publisher of the "Centum quindecim curationes" in 1582 which was attributed to Paracelsus.

paragraph: Mario Nasalli Rocca di Corneliano

paragraph: Mario Nasalli Rocca di Corneliano (12 August 1903 – 9 November 1988) was an Italian Cardinal of the Catholic Church. He served as Prefect of the Apostolic Palace from 1967 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1969.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Nasalli Rocca di Corneliano was born in Piacenza to Count Camillo Nasalli Rocca and Marchioness Caterina Taffini d'Accegliano. His father died when Mario was a child, and his uncle was Giovanni Nasalli Rocca di Corneliano, who was later Archbishop of Bologna. Nasalli Rocca studied at the Pontifical Roman Seminary, Pontifical Roman Athenaeum S. Apollinare, and the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy before being ordained to the priesthood on 8 April 1927.

paragraph: He then began pastoral work in Rome, and was made a canon of St. Peter's Basilica. After being raised to the rank of a Privy Chamberlain of His Holiness on 22 November 1931, he later became a Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on 1 July 1949. Pope John XXIII named Nasalli Rocca as Master of the Papal Chamber the day after his election, on 29 October 1958. Upon the death of John XXIII on 3 June 1963, Nasalli Rocca and all major Vatican officials, in accord with custom, automatically lost their positions during the "sede vacante". He was later confirmed as the papal majordomo by Pope Paul VI on the following 21 June. He also became Prefect of the Apostolic Palace on 1 April 1967.

paragraph: On 11 April 1969, Nasalli Rocca was appointed Titular Archbishop of "Antium" by Paul VI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 20 April from Cardinal Paolo Marella, with Archbishop Diego Venini and Bishop Alberto Scola, serving as co-consecrators, in St. Peter's Basilica. Pope Paul later created Nasalli Rocca Cardinal-Deacon of "S. Giovanni Battista Decollato" in the consistory of 28 April of that same year. He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the conclaves of August and October 1978, which selected Popes John Paul I and John Paul II respectively. After ten years' standing as a Cardinal-Deacon, Nasalli Rocca opted to become a Cardinal Priest, with the same titular church, on 30 June 1979. He then lost the right to participate any future conclaves upon reaching age 80 on 12 August 1983.

paragraph: Cardinal Nasalli Rocca di Corneliano died in a Roman clinic, where he had been admitted a week earlier, at age 85. He is buried in his native Piacenza.

paragraph: Domenico Morosini

paragraph: Domenico Morosini (died February 1156) was the thirty-seventh doge of the Republic of Venice, reigning from 1148 until his death in 1156.

paragraph: Descendant of a noble family (he was a count), Morosini succeeded in reconciling the two factions that had divided Venetian patrician families for years, thus ending a political conflict that had also caused the Republic to lose ground in its territories and primacy in its commercial activities.

paragraph: Quite unexceptional otherwise, Morosini's dogeship was marked by renewed prosperity and reconciliation.

paragraph: Section::::Private life.

paragraph: Morosini's early years are difficult to reconstruct, due to the absence of reliable records and sources. As a matter of fact, his birthyear is unknown, as are the activities and connections of his family before his interest in politics.

paragraph: This unusual lack of publicly recorded information is likely because his dukedom was relatively unremarkable in terms of conquests, expansion, and events of significance — historians of the Republic would have had little interest in "digging up the past" either to glorify or to marr his legacy. He was married to a woman named Sophia, according to legend a captive from the East.

paragraph: The Morosini had been raised to countship in the late 10th century C.E. after they, with the support of Holy Roman Emperor Otto II, had vanquished the rival Caloprini family.

paragraph: Domenico brought the family to the forefront of Venetian political life, starting a tradition that would see his successors contribute greatly to the wellbeing of the Republic.

paragraph: Ruggiero Morosini would be admiral of the Venetian navy that defeated the Genoese in 1298, while Francesco Morosini would defeat the Turks on several occasions, somewhat slowing down the westward progress of the Ottoman Empire in the process.

paragraph: Section::::Public office.

paragraph: Morosini took office at a time when relations between Venice and two of its long-time allies, Byzantine Greece and the Normans, were beginning to deteriorate.

paragraph: After the death of his father, emperor Alexios I Komnenos, in 1118, John II Komnenos refused to confirm the 1082 treaty (a chrysobull) with the Republic, which had given it unique and generous trading rights within the Byzantine Empire (there would be no import duties on Venetian shipments to and from the territories of the Empire). An incident involving the abuse of a member of the imperial family by Venetians led to a dangerous conflict, especially as Byzantium had depended on Venice for its naval strength.

paragraph: After a Byzantine retaliatory attack on Kerkyra, John II exiled the Venetian merchants from Constantinople, but this produced further retaliation, and a Venetian fleet of 72 ships plundered Rhodes, Chios, Samos, Lesbos, Andros and captured Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea.

paragraph: Relationships with the Normans deteriorated when Venice supported (through its fleet under Naimero and Giovanni Polani, sons of Morosini's predecessor Pietro Polani) a Byzantine intervention to suppress an uprising at Cape Malea (one of the peninsulas in the southeast of the Peloponnese in Greece) in 1149.

paragraph: The 1148 conquest of the Istrian city of Pula, a key port in the peninsula, was followed by an insurgence which Morosini suppressed with atypical shrewdness: in 1150, reconquered Pula swore allegiance to the Republic of Venice, thus becoming a Venetian possession. For centuries thereafter, the city's fate and fortunes would be tied to those of Venetian power.

paragraph: Morosini's foreign policy sought a rapprochement with the Holy See, which had excommunicated the city of Venice because of its familiarity with the Byzantine Empire (and, thus, its schismatic religion).

paragraph: The doge extended an olive branch to Pope Eugene III by consenting, in 1152, to the independence of the Church within the territories of the Republic — a move that immediately warranted the repeal of the excommunication and, thus, simplified Venetian tradings with Catholic countries.

paragraph: Further recognition of renewed collaboration came in 1154, when Pope Anastasius IV raised the doge "dominator Marchiæ" (lit., "ruler of Marche").

paragraph: Morosini's reconciliation with the Church had positive effects on domestic policy as well, by bridging a long-standing feud between the Polani and Dandolo patrician families.

paragraph: Enrico Dandolo had been Patriarch of Grado at a particularly tense time between Venice and the pontificate, which had caused the Polani family, strong supporters of the Pope, to break relations with the Dandolos. In an attempt to reconcile the factions that had coalesced around the two families among the patricians, Morosini pushed for a "mariage d'affaires" between Andrea Dandolo, grandson of Enrico, and Primera Polani, niece of the previous doge.

paragraph: During Morosini's dogeship, the construction of St Mark's Campanile was finally completed.

paragraph: Raizō Tanaka

paragraph: Tanaka's outstanding victory was in the Battle of Tassafaronga in which his squadron of destroyers defeated a much larger U.S. Navy force that included four heavy cruisers and their supporting destroyers. In this battle, Tanaka's heavily outgunned destroyers, caught by surprise, used their Long Lance torpedoes to hit four American cruisers, sinking and heavily damaging the other three. All but one of Tanaka's destroyers escaped the trap that the U.S. Navy had set for them, and they retired northward towards Rabaul.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Tanaka was born in what is now part of Yamaguchi city, in Yamaguchi Prefecture. After high school, Tanaka entered the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, where he was a member of the 41st graduating class in 1913, ranked 34th out of 118 midshipmen to graduate.

paragraph: As a midshipman, Tanaka served on the cruisers and , battleship . After promotion to sub-lieutenant, he served on the cruiser and battlecruiser .

paragraph: He then attended the basic torpedo and naval artillery schools from December 1916 to December 1917, after which he was assigned to the destroyers and , and the battleship . He returned to torpedo school, attending the advanced course from December 1919 to December 1920. From 1921 to November 1923, Lieutenant Tanaka was assigned as the executive officer on the submarine tender , the cruiser , the destroyer , and the cruiser . In December 1925, Tanaka was appointed as executive officer as well as an instructor at the IJN's torpedo school. After one year at the school, he performed two years of staff duties, including one year at Kure Naval District, one of the IJN's primary bases.

paragraph: In 1930, Lieutenant commander Tanaka commanded the destroyer and in 1931—after his promotion to commander—commanded the destroyer . From December 1932 to December 1936, he worked on the staff for the Yokosuka Naval District.

paragraph: From 1 December 1937 to 15 December 1938, Captain Tanaka commanded the light cruiser . He next served as the Chief of Staff of the Mako Guard District from 15 December 1938 to 15 November 1939. Subsequently, he commanded the reconstructed fast battleship "Kongō" from November 1939 to November 1940.

paragraph: Section::::World War II.

paragraph: On 26 September 1941, Captain Tanaka took command of the 2nd Destroyer Squadron with his flagship being the light cruiser "Jintsū" once again. Tanaka was promoted to the rank of rear admiral on 15 October of the same year. The 2nd Destroyer Squadron, under Tanaka, and initially composed of eight destroyers in addition to the light cruiser "Jintsū", participated in the invasion of the Philippines and of the Dutch East Indies, including the Battle of the Java Sea, during the early months of the Pacific War between Japan and Allied forces.

paragraph: On 21 May 1942, Tanaka's 2nd Destroyer Squadron—consisting of "Jintsū" and 10 destroyers—sortied from Kure to support the Japanese attack on Midway Island by escorting the transports carrying the troops for the prospective invasion (which was never carried out, because of the American air supremacy there). After the Japanese defeat in the Battle of Midway, Tanaka's ships returned to Japan via the island of Guam.

paragraph: After the U.S. Marine Corps landing by the American 1st Marine Division on the island of Guadalcanal on 7 August 1942, Tanaka with the 2nd Destroyer Squadron departed from Japan immediately to steam to the main Japanese Central Pacific base at Truk Atoll. The 2nd Destroyer Squadron departed from Truk on 16 August, escorting a convoy carrying the troops to counterattack the American Marines forces on Guadalcanal. On 25 August, during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, Tanaka's ships were attacked by Marine Corps warplanes from Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. One transport ship and one destroyer were sunk by the Marine aviators and "Jintsū" was bombed and heavily damaged, with Tanaka being wounded. Due to the damage to "Jintsū", Tanaka shifted his flag to the destroyer .

paragraph: Stationing his squadron at the IJN base in the Shortland Islands, over the next several months Tanaka organized reinforcement and resupply efforts to Japanese soldiers fighting in the battle for Guadalcanal. Due to the threat of air attacks by the Marines, Tanaka ordered the use of his fast destroyers to deliver men and supplies to Guadalcanal at night. This was because his destroyers could make the trip to Guadalcanal and back to the northern Solomons in a single night, reducing the vulnerability of ships to American air attacks. The Japanese called these supply runs "Rat Transportation" and the Americans called them the "Tokyo Express."

paragraph: On 30 November 1942, late in the Guadalcanal campaign, Tanaka personally led a "Tokyo Express" run to Guadalcanal. Tanaka's force included eight destroyers which Tanaka led from his flagship . That night, an American force of five cruisers and four destroyers, commanded by Carleton H. Wright, prepared to intercept Tanaka's ships in Ironbottom Sound near Guadalcanal. Using radar, the American ships surprised Tanaka's force and sank one Japanese destroyer with gunfire. Tanaka, however, quickly responded by issuing orders for his ships to maneuver, fire torpedoes, and vacate the area. The Japanese "Long Lance" torpedoes hit four of Wright's cruisers as Tanaka's ships escaped back up The Slot towards the Shortlands. One of the American cruisers sank and the other three hurt cruisers were so badly damaged that it was nine months before any of them returned to action. The Battle of Tassafaronga was one of the most severe defeats suffered by the U.S. Navy following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Only the Battle of Savo Island, in August 1942, compares in its severity.

paragraph: On 12 December 1942 on another "Tokyo Express" run, Tanaka's destroyer was hit and sunk by torpedoes fired from a U.S. Navy PT boat near Guadalcanal and Tanaka was wounded. Tanaka had also fallen into disfavor with the IJN High Command, hence on 29 December 1942, Tanaka was transferred to Singapore. In 1943, he was reassigned to shore duty in faraway Burma, and he remained on shore duty for the remainder of the war. Nevertheless, Tanaka was promoted to the rank of vice admiral on 15 October 1944.

paragraph: Section::::Postwar.

paragraph: Tanaka retired from the navy on 26 June 1946 and died on 9 July 1969 at 77 years of age.

paragraph: Yehuda Alharizi

paragraph: Yehuda Alharizi, also Judah ben Solomon Harizi or al-Harizi (, "Yehudah ben Shelomo al-Harizi", , "Yahya bin Sulaiman bin Sha'ul abu Zakaria al-Harizi al-Yahudi min ahl Tulaitila") was a rabbi, translator, poet and traveller active in Spain in the Middle Ages (1165 in Toledo? – 1225 in Aleppo). He was supported by wealthy patrons, to whom he wrote poems and dedicated compositions.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Alharizi was a rationalist, conveying the works of Maimonides and his approach to rationalistic Judaism. He translated Maimonides' "Guide for the Perplexed" and some of his "Commentary on the Mishnah", as well as the "Mahbarot Iti'el" of the Arab poet al-Hariri, from the Arabic to Hebrew.

paragraph: Alharizi's poetic translation of the "Guide for the Perplexed" is considered by many to be more readable than that of Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon. However, it has not been very widely used in Jewish scholarship, perhaps because it is less precise. It had some influence in the Christian world due to its translation into Latin.

paragraph: Alharizi's own works include the "Tahkemoni", composed between 1218 and 1220, in the Arabic form known as maqama. This is written in Hebrew in unmetrical rhymes, in what is commonly termed rhymed prose. It is a series of humorous episodes, witty verses, and quaint applications of Scriptural texts. The episodes are bound together by the presence of the hero and of the narrator, who is also the author. Another collection of his poetry was devoted to preaching ethical self-discipline and fear of heaven.

paragraph: Harizi undertook long journeys in the lands of the Middle East. His works are suffused with his impressions from these journeys.

paragraph: He not only brought to perfection the art of applying Hebrew to secular satire, but he was also a brilliant literary critic and his maqama on the Andalusian Hebrew poets is a fruitful source of information.

paragraph: Tabe Slioor

paragraph: Tabe Maria Ingeborg Slioor (21 November 1926, Helsinki – 25 April 2006, Turku) was a Finnish socialite, reporter, and photojournalist, living and working in Europe and the United States.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Background.

paragraph: Slioor was born to a Persian father, a fruit shopkeeper, and a Finnish mother, a homemaker, in Helsinki, Finland in 1926, and had three older brothers. After her parents divorced, Slioor was raised in an orphanage for girls, seeing her parents sometimes. Her father died in 1936, and her mother lived in a hospital for mental issues. In 1947, The Salvation Army's Family Tracing Service found out that Slioor's paternal grandfather was still living in Iran and carried the title of Prince.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Life and career in Finland.

paragraph: Slioor married her first husband Sigurd Laesvirta, a Finnish painter, in 1944, and they had a daughter named Aulikki. Through the marriage, Slioor was involved in Finnish art circles and soon started to work as a model. After divorcing her first husband in 1948, Slioor became a single parent and continued working as a model and also appeared in the Finnish film "Tanssi yli hautojen" ("Dancing on Graves"), which was directed by Toivo Särkkä and written by Mika Waltari. The film was released in 1950.

paragraph: Slioor was trained in a local modeling school in Finland, and then founded the Helsinki School for Models in 1951. The following year, she continued her training at the Ecole Parisienne de Mannequins modeling school in Paris, and became the first Finn to earn a top diploma in modeling. To get more currency for her trip to Paris, Slioor needed a special permission from the Bank of Finland, where she met and befriended with Urho Kekkonen, who later became arguably the most powerful and significant President of Finland. The nature of their relationship has been a subject of speculation for decades.

paragraph: Slioor's beauty, poise, charisma, and events of life allowed her to rise to importance in the eyes of the fledgling Finnish media, and she has been called one of the first Finnish celebrities along the 1952 Miss Universe Armi Kuusela. In addition to modeling and running her own modeling school, Slioor also took part in race rallying and won three times the women's series of "The Race of 1000 Kilometers" organized by The Automobile and Touring Club of Finland. Slioor was also the first woman to be allowed to go to restaurants in Finland without a male company.

paragraph: In 1953, Slioor met both Prince Bertil of Sweden and Erik von Frenckell, a nobleman and married Mayor of Helsinki, at a society event in Finland. While she reportedly befriended with Prince Bertil and kept in touch with him over the years, Slioor and Von Frenckell became lovers, and several newspaper articles were written about them at the time. Slioor and von Frenckell openly attended various events in Finland, and they also travelled together around Europe, including Austria, Switzerland, and France. At Brussels World's Fair, they attended a ball held to honour Princess Margaret of England, and Slioor played piano four hands with her. They also explored the fair in the same group with the Princess.

paragraph: Slioor started to organize fashion shows for members of the Finnish upper class in the early 1950s. She held fashion shows not only in Finland, though, but also in Russia, New York, and even on the "Queen Elizabeth". In 1955, Slioor lived in New York for a while, staying first at the Plaza Hotel and then in Sonja Henie's residence. She studied privately in a local modeling school, and held a successful fashion show for Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit and the wives of some of the UN diplomats. Among other newspapers and radio and TV interviews, "The New York Times" wrote an article about Slioor, "a buxom, flashing-eyed beauty", who is "Finland's leading model and the director of the Helsinki School for Models". In 1957, Slioor organized a major modeling and textile fair with great success in Saint Petersburg with the Soviet Union Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Nikolay Smirnov served as the patron of the fair, which attracted thousands of visitors every day. By the time, Slioor had also held her own fashion show on Finnish television, which origin is in the mid-1950s.

paragraph: From 1955 to 1965, Slioor lived in a grand apartment in Ullanlinna, a wealthy district of Helsinki, and hosted various social events for artists, including actors, writers and poets, as well as diplomats, professors, royals, and other celebrities. She was good friends with Pentti Saarikoski, George de Godzinsky and others. From 1960 to 1962, Slioor was married to Kalevi Nietosvaara, a Finnish jurist and longtime friend. In 1962, she starred in "Se alkoi omenasta" ("It Started with an Apple"), a Teuvo Tulio short film about Slioor herself.

paragraph: During the early 1960s, Slioor published a serialized account of her life and relationships with men in the Finnish men's magazine "Jallu" (Finland's equivalent to "Playboy"). The memoirs, completed with numerous photographs, letters, and other documents, were featured in 10 issues under the title of "Miehet ja minä" ("Men And I"), and Slioor was on the cover of each of those issues. As Slioor was very open about her relationship with von Frenckell, a nobleman and married mayor of Helsinki, there was an enormous interest in the subject, and "Jallu" broke records as around 280 000 copies of one issue were sold (Finland's population was 4.5 million at the time).

paragraph: Slioor soon founded her own magazine, "Madame" (1962 – 1965), which became the first gossip magazine in Finland. Her daughter Aulikki worked for the magazine as well, travelling around Europe and North Africa. Within the magazine, Slioor also launched her own collection of "Tabe" perfumes, made in France, and had Timo Sarpaneva design the bottles and packages.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Years in the United States.

paragraph: Slioor moved to the United States in the mid-1960s and married Matti Kosonen, a Finnish American pilot and Vietnam veteran. The marriage lasted from 1965 to 1968.

paragraph: During the years in the States, Slioor worked as a reporter and photographer, living in San Francisco. She met, interviewed, and photographed various public figures, including Ronald Reagan, Robert Kennedy, Henry Miller, Bing Crosby, Harry Belafonte, and Rita Hayworth, and sent numerous reportages from the States to be published in "Jallu" magazine in Finland, appearing on the "Jallu" covers with the likes of Tom McCall, Nelson Rockefeller, and Spiro Agnew. Slioor also reported from San Quentin Prison, being the first reporter allowed to photograph the prison freely, and made work trips to other parts of the States, including Chicago.

paragraph: In San Francisco, Slioor befriended with Benny Bufano, who taught her to do mosaics. Later on, Bufano stated he had sold two of Slioor's works for $1,000 per each. Slioor and Bufano started to work and attend social events together, including the wedding of Angela Alioto, the daughter of Joseph Alioto, then-mayor of San Francisco. Slioor also befriended with other high-profile people, including Melvin Belli, Clinton Duffy, Walt Baptiste, and Ching Wah Lee.

paragraph: In 1969, The Bufano Society of the Arts started to claim back sculptures given or sold by Bufano to Slioor. She had pieces of art by Bufano worth around $250,000. Slioor refused, and the media started to report on the case, including especially both the "San Francisco Chronicle" and "The San Francisco Examiner" as well as TV and radio stations like KTVU. The case was also followed by the Finnish press. Eventually, Slioor had to return most of the works as The Bufano Society was the legal owner of all of Bufano's art. Bufano had no right to give away any of his works to anyone as he did not own those personally, like stated in the "San Francisco Chronicle" on February 11, 1969. In the court, Slioor was represented by the law firm of Melvin Belli, who had also handled her third divorce. Furthermore, Slioor had been working on Bufano's autobiography for months, but it was never finished as Bufano died in 1970.

paragraph: While living in San Francisco, Slioor got married for the last time. Her fourth husband was photographer William Douglas Ganslen. The couple, however, divorced in 1976.

paragraph: As for Slioor's daughter Aulikki, she started to work in the music business, working in sound engineering for Herbie Hancock, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, Santana, The Pointer Sisters, and others, as well as jamming with Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead at Kaukonen's. Aulikki also worked as a cowgirl in Tennessee Ernie Ford's ranch in Nevada. Later on, she moved to Alaska, became a private pilot, got married, had a daughter, and worked as an artist and a writer. She also had her own art studio and gallery, and hosted her own radio shows on KBBI and KDLL. Nowadays, Aulikki Slioor Knight works for her husband's business, Commercial & Recreational Marine Services LLC.. In September 2010, she and her husband ended a long, successful journey as they sailed 2455 miles in three months, bringing their new boat, a 1959 wooden yacht, from Sausalito, California, to Homer, Alaska.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later life in Finland.

paragraph: After 16 years in the United States, Slioor moved back to Finland and disappeared from the public spotlight. In 1997, WSOY published her autobiography "Tabe", and she gave interviews for Finnish TV, radio, and print media about her life. After the launch of the book, she disappeared again.

paragraph: Slioor spent most of her later life in Turku, where she lived in a small apartment with her cat. During the years, she kept in touch with her family and friends, including daughter Aulikki and granddaughter Sativa. In spring 2006, it was widely reported that Slioor had died.

paragraph: In 2007, Slioor's life was portrayed in a play in a Helsinki theatre, and she was also named as one of Finland's 90 dignitaries since its independence in 1917 by authors of "The National Biography of Finland". Slioor also made front page headlines in 2009, when it was revealed that Urho Kekkonen, the longest-serving President of Finland, had used the Finnish Security Police to keep an eye on her. In 2010, Slioor became a media subject again as her life was portrayed in a new play at the Alexander Theatre in Helsinki. She also became one of the central figures in researcher Laura Saarenmaa's doctoral thesis "Intiimit äänet" ("Voices of Intimacy").

paragraph: In the summers of 2011 and 2012, the Finnish Broadcasting Company aired "Se alkoi omenasta" ("It Started with an Apple"), the 1962 short film on Slioor's life, starring Slioor as herself. Also in 2012, Slioor's famed 1964 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe was showcased at the annual American Car Show in Finland. The car has been prominently featured in the Finnish press over the years, including the original stories and pictures in "Jallu" magazine and more recent ones in the automobile magazine "Mobilisti" and the second largest newspaper in the country "Ilta-Sanomat".

paragraph: In 2014, Finnish women's magazine "Eeva" published a front page article on Slioor and Erik von Frenckell's romance.

Their father had lost the kingdom (1343) and he died in the Battle of Llucmajor (1349) by Peter IV of Aragon. Isabella was captured with her brother and stepmother by her uncle King Peter after the battle in which her father was killed, and confined to the convent of the Clarissans at Valencia with her stepmother.

paragraph: Innocenzo da Berzo

paragraph: Blessed Innocenzo da Berzo (19 March 1844 - 3 March 1890), born Giovanni Scalvinoni, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Order of Friars Minor - or Capuchin branch of the Franciscan Order. Scalvinoni assumed his new religious name upon his profession as a Capuchin friar.

paragraph: Pope John XXIII beatified him on 12 November 1961.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Giovanni Scalvinoni was born on 19 March 1844 to Pietro Scalvinoni and Francesca Poli in Niardo (Brescia). He was baptized Giovanni. His father died of pneumonia when Giovanni was three months old in June 1844. He spent his childhood in Berzo.

paragraph: As a small child he had great mercy for the poor, giving generously to those who asked, even though his family was in need. From 1855 to 1860 he attended the municipal college in Lovere in the province of Bergamo and he passed with high marks. In 1864 he entered the diocesan seminary of Brescia. He was ordained to the priesthood on 2 June 1867 and held some positions, including that of vice-chancellor of the seminary, but each time he was removed because his innate shyness made in difficult to impose authority. He was assigned as the parochial vicar at the parish of Cevo in Valsaviore. In 1870 he returned to Berzo Inferiore where his duties were to act as a confessor and to direct the local primary school. During the time in the parish he found a need for solitude, prayer and penance. In 1873 he entered the Order of Friars Minor at the Annunciata Convent in the village of Borno. In 1877 he later he made his solemn wows and took the name of "Innocenzo of Berzo".

paragraph: Except for short assignments of preaching spiritual exercises in some convents in Lombardy, he remained at the Annunicata Convent. There he lived a life of intense abandonment, living the adage of "do good and disappear". He had a deep devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, finding his sustenance in front of the Tabernacle. He also had a devotion to the crucified Jesus Christ, and encouraged penitents to the exercise of the Way of the Cross.

paragraph: On 3 March 1890 he died in the infirmary of the convent of the Capuchin friars in Bergamo. From 26 to 28 September of the same year his body was transferred to the cemetery of Berzo Inferiore in a trip defined as "the last itinerant adventure connected to the earthly world of the little friar from Berzo". The mortal remains of Innocenzo from Berzo arrived in Vallecamonica some months after his death. Even though the news went slower than now, a great number of people asked the Conventual house, where his body was resting, to have a relic of his mortal remains. Once the people obtained the permission, on 28 September, nearly seven months after his death, the body was arranged in a coffin and then carried on the shoulders of his Franciscan brethren and was taken to his last resting-place.

paragraph: Section::::Beatification.

paragraph: There are two miracles attributed to the late friar. The first is a cure of a male child at the age of four from an aggressive form of leukemia. The second is the cure of another male child of the age of five from peritonitis.

paragraph: Pope John XXIII presided over the beatification of Innocenzo da Berzo on 12 November 1961 and made him the patron of both Berzo and of children.

paragraph: Ekkehard I

paragraph: Ekkehard I (; died 14 January 973), called "Major" or "Senex" (the Elder), was a monk of the Abbey of Saint Gall. He was of noble birth, of the Jonschwyl family in Toggenburg, and was educated in the monastery of St. Gall; after joining the Benedictine Order, he was appointed director of the inner school there. Later, under Abbot Kralo, who trusted him implicitly, he was elected dean of the monastery, and for a while directed all the affairs of the abbey.

paragraph: Ekkehard made a pilgrimage to Rome, where he was retained for a time by Pope John XII, who presented him with various relics of St. John the Baptist. After Kralo's death Ekkehard refused the abbatial succession, because of lameness resulting from a fractured leg. However, he directed the choice of Burkard, son of Count Ulrich of Buchhorn, who governed St. Gall with the advice and co-operation of Ekkehard. The latter erected a hospice in front of the monastery for the sick and strangers, and was in many other ways a model of charity.

paragraph: He was also distinguished as a poet, and wrote a Latin epic "Waltharius", basing his version on an original German text. He dedicated this poem to Bishop Erkanbald of Strasburg (965-991). It describes the elopement of Walter of Aquitaine with the Burgundian princess Hildegunde, from the land of the Huns, followed by the battle of Wasgenstein between Walter and the followers of Gunther and Hagen (ed. Peiper, Berlin, 1873).

paragraph: He also composed various ecclesiastical hymns and sequences, e. g. in honour of the Blessed Trinity, St. John the Baptist, St. Benedict, St. Columbanus and St. Stephen (Meyer, "Philologische Bemerkungen zum Waltharius" in "Abhandl. der bayr. Akad. d. Wissenschaften", Munich, 1873; Streeker, "Ekkehard und Virgil" in "Zeitschrift f. deutsches Altertum", 1898, XLII, 338-366).

paragraph: Ewen Vernal

paragraph: Ewen Vernal (born 27 February 1964) is a Scottish musician.

paragraph: Born in Glasgow to a musical family, Vernal began taking piano lessons at 8 years old — inspired by a Beatles-singing mother and a choir-leading, saxophone-playing father. Singing competitions and local talent contests followed, but it was not until his teenage years that the bass guitar became the focus of his musical aspirations. Discovering an old guitar in the family loft with only a single low E-string left, he started to pick out bass-lines from favourite records, finally graduating to the real thing at 16 years old.

paragraph: From the early 1980s, Vernal began playing in a variety of Glasgow-based bands and some jazz residencies throughout Scotland until, after some persuasion from their drummer, joined newly signed Deacon Blue in the autumn of 1986—until 1994, the band enjoyed worldwide success. In 1997 Vernal joined Capercaillie, of which he is still a member.

paragraph: He has appeared with the Scottish progressive rock singer Fish, English folk star Kate Rusby, Hue & Cry, Lou Reed, Michael Brecker, Chris Rea, and many more.

paragraph: He lives in the Netherlands with his Dutch girlfriend and has three children.
