paragraph: James Haldenston

paragraph: James Haldenston or James Haldenstoun (died 18 July 1443) was an Augustinian churchman from 15th-century Scotland. Probably from somewhere in eastern Fife, Haldenston became an Augustinian at St Andrews, earned several degrees on the continent, and became prior of May before becoming prior of St Andrews, head of the wealthiest and most important religious house in Scotland.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Haldenston's origin is unclear. His surname is spelled variously as "Halenston", "Haldenson", "Hawdenston", "Haddistoun", "Haldestoun" and "Aldeston", and it is attested in eastern Fife in the 1380s and 1390s. He had a brother called Andrew, who witnessed two of his charters in the 1430s, and a kinsman by the name of Robert de Kinmounth (or Kininmund, as in Alexander de Kinimund, Bishop of Aberdeen 1355–1380).

paragraph: James was a Bachelor of theology by 17 September 1412, and a Master in Theology by 21 June 1414. By 1417 he had a doctorate in theology. He was probably a graduate of the University of Paris, It is likely that he had become a canon of St Andrews Cathedral Priory before going to France for his studies. He certainly was a St Andrews canon as early as 1407, when he had some right to the position of prior of May. Haldenston was probably a client of Henry Wardlaw, Bishop of St Andrews (1403–1440), who supported his candidature for May and for his later offices.

paragraph: He had intermittent possession of the office of prior of May for over a decade, litigating for the right with his rival William Nory. He had some right by September 1407, but Nory was the expected successor of Robert de Leuchars, and it is unclear to what extent Haldenston ever enjoyed possession of the office or its fruits. The battle involved trips to the papal court and an armed attack on the priory's manor at Pittenweem by Nory's followers. The priory of May had been located formerly on an island in the Firth of Forth, but by this time was at Pittenweem on the nearby Fife coast.

paragraph: Section::::Prior of St Andrews.

paragraph: Haldenston became prior of St Andrews late in 1417, being elected following the death of the previous prior William de Camera. William de Camera himself had been elected only in 1416, and had gone to the papal court to have his position confirmed. Prior William however found Haldenston and John Bullock already there claiming the position. Pope Benedict XIII commissioned the bishops of Glasgow and St Andrews to investigate the matter, but Prior William died on his way back to Scotland, at Brugge in Flanders. Haldenston was elected prior later in the year [1417]. The claim to the position by John Bullock was probably given up by the latter when he became bishop of Ross.

paragraph: He was one of an embassy from James I to the Roman court in 1425. He did much to beautify the monastery and the cathedral church of St Andrews, and improve the services, and was zealous against heretics. Pope Martin V granted him the right of wearing the mitre, ring, pastoral staff, and other pontifical insignia in parliament.

paragraph: During his time as head of the cathedral priory, Haldenson was dean of theology in the new University of St Andrews, and became closely involved in its affairs. The prior witnessed James I's confirmation of the university's privileges at Perth in March 1432. His close involvement with the university generated conflict with the university rector regarding power and jurisdiction, and an agreement between the prior and rector had to be drawn up. He was later remembered [in the 16th century] as one of the university's founders, but this tradition is inaccurate.

paragraph: The dean installed graduands at the university, and was praised by historian Walter Bower for his skill as a teacher, as a papal tax-collector and as an inquisitor of lollards and other heretics. Certain statutes of the Faculty of Theology indicate that the dean was rather "autocratic" [Watt], and a letter of his survives banning lecturing to one John Shaw owing to the latter's suspected heretical leanings. Haldenston's deanship coincided with the presence of the famous theologian Laurence of Lindores.

paragraph: He died at St Andrews on 18 July 1443, and was interred in the north wall of the lady chapel of the cathedral. He is said to have written a treatise, "Contra Lolardos", another entitled "Processus contra Hæreticos", and a third, "De Privilegiis Claustri sui", but none of these seem now extant. A letter-book of his, a "Copiale", survives, illuminating James' period of office. Walter Bower, abbot of Inchcolm and source of much information about the priors of St Andrews, described him as "a man of great eloquence, and a person of pleasing appearance, quite elegant and becoming in his dress and bearing". Bower recorded his epitaph, and added a physical description, noting his white hair and medium size.

paragraph: Hugh of Amiens

paragraph: Hugh of Amiens (died 1164), monk of Cluny, prior of Limoges, prior of Lewes, abbot of Reading and archbishop of Rouen, was a 12th-century Picard-French Benedictine prelate.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Hugh was born in Laon late in the eleventh century. He belonged in all probability to the noble family of Boves, a theory to which his arms (an ox passant) give support. He was educated at Laon in the celebrated school of Anselm and Ralph, and became a monk of Cluny. A few years after his reception the abbot made him prior of Limoges, but he went to England about the same time, and became for a short time prior of Lewes, whence he was transferred in 1125 to the abbey of Reading. As Reading Abbey was a new foundation, Hugh was its first ever abbot.

paragraph: While travelling abroad in 1129 he was elected to the archbishopric of Rouen and consecrated 14 September 1130. At this time he founded the abbey of St Martin of Aumale. In his province he was vigorous and strict, and tried for some time in vain to bring the powerful abbots under his control. He took part with Pope Innocent II against Anacletus, received Innocent at Rouen in 1131, and rejoined him at the council of Rheims in the same year, bringing him letters in which the king of England recognised him as lawful pope.

paragraph: Henry I had taken the side of the abbots in their recent struggle with Hugh, and he was now further incensed by Hugh's refusal to consecrate Richard, natural son of the Earl of Gloucester, bishop of Bayeux on account of his illegitimate birth. This difficulty was overcome through a special dispensation from the pope, but Hugh thought it prudent to go in 1134 to the Council of Pisa, and on its conclusion to remain in Italy on legatine business for some time.

paragraph: He was recalled, however, by the murmuring of the nobles of his province and the personal complaints of Henry, and returned in 1135 in time, according to a letter preserved in the "Historia Novella" of William of Malmesbury, to attend the king, who had always respected him, on his deathbed at Colombières. In 1136 he was back at Rouen.

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: Hugh was a staunch supporter of King Stephen, and passed much time in England during the civil wars. Early in 1137 Stephen went to Normandy, and when he had failed to capture Matilda's illegitimate half-brother, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, Hugh was one of his sureties that he would do Robert no further injury. It was by his intervention that the dispute between the king and the bishops regarding the custody of castles was settled at the council of Oxford in 1139, which Henry of Blois had summoned. Hugh also reconciled the Earl of Gloucester and the Count of Boulogne.

paragraph: As the rebellious abbots of his province were now without royal support, he was able to carry out the decision of the council of Rheims, and to exact an oath of obedience; among those whom he forced to tender it was Theobald, afterwards archbishop of Canterbury, then newly elected abbot of Bec. In 1147 Hugh took part in the controversy with Gilbert de la Porrée. In 1150 Henry, eldest son of Henry II, began to rule in Normandy, and Hugh found in him a strong supporter. He died 11 November 1164, and was buried in the cathedral at Rouen, where there is an epitaph composed by Arnulf of Lisieux.

paragraph: Robert I, Prior of St Andrews

paragraph: Robert I or Robert of Nostell (died 1160) was a 12th-century Anglo-Norman Augustinian churchman, the first prior of St Andrews.

paragraph: Robert came to the Kingdom of Scotland from Nostell Priory as head of a group of Nostell canons establishing St Andrews Cathedral Priory. He had been invited by Robert, Bishop of St Andrews, himself an ex-member of Nostell.

paragraph: Robert was probably established at St Andrews in 1140, but certainly by 14 May 1144. Robert had come directly from Nostell, not via Scone Abbey.

paragraph: Walter Bower, writing in the 15th century, said that Robert died in 1162 and had charge of the priory for twenty-two years. According to the earlier and more reliable "Melrose Chronicle", Robert actually died in 1160.

paragraph: Thomas Levett (priest)

paragraph: Rev. Thomas Levett (baptised 25 February 1770 – 9 October 1843) served as rector of Whittington, Staffordshire, for 40 years, and as a large landowner in addition to being a clergyman, played a role in the development of Staffordshire's educational system. He was also a member of one of Staffordshire's longest-serving families in ecclesiastical circles, having produced three rectors of the parish of Whittington. The Levett family also produced members of parliament, High Sheriffs of Staffordshire, Lichfield town recorders and businessmen who were friends and contemporaries of Samuel Johnson, Erasmus Darwin, writer Anna Seward, actor David Garrick and other local luminaries. Several streets in Lichfield are named for the family.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Rev. Thomas Levett was the son of Thomas Levett of Packington Hall and nephew of John Levett, who sat for one term as a Tory Member of Parliament before he was recalled. Rev. Levett was the grandson of Theophilus Levett, Lichfield town clerk in the early eighteenth century. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford.

paragraph: Large landowners, the Levett family also made liberal endowments to the church at Whittington. Rev. Levett lived in Packington Hall, a Levett family property that had been acquired in the eighteenth century. The same Levett family also lived at Wychnor Hall at nearby Wychnor, Staffordshire. The family also owned the ancient woods at Hopwas, Staffordshire, a holding inherited by Rev. Thomas Levett.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Levett was early interested in education in the region in which his ancestors had lived for more than a century. He was among family members managing a family bequest to the local schools.

paragraph: Rev. Richard Levett served as Whittington's vicar from 1743 to 1751. His son, also Rev. Richard Levett, served as vicar of Whittington from 1795 to 1796; and Rev. Thomas Levett served for forty years, from 1796 to 1836. There are memorials to the Levett family in St. Giles Church in the village, located about three miles (5 km) from Lichfield. Large landowners, the family also established charitable gifts towards the Whittington Free School, and were generous donors to schools and other foundations in the county.

paragraph: Thomas Levett was also a well-known sportsman, and frequently hunted with family friend British general and royal aide William Dyott, whose family lived at nearby Freeford Hall. The artist James Ward, a longtime family friend, painted the rector as he hunted at Packington in a canvas called "Portrait of the Rev. Thomas Levett and Favourite Dogs, Cock-Shooting, 1811".

paragraph: Thomas Levett was married to Wilmot Maria Gresley, daughter of Sir Nigel Bowyer Gresley, 7th Baronet of Drakelowe Hall, High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1780, of the Gresley Baronets, a family seated at their Drakelow Derbyshire manor since the end of the eleventh century. Following his marriage, Rev. Levett quartered the arms of Levett with those of his wife's family. She died 17 December 1845. Memorials to Wilmot Maria Gresley and her husband Rev. Levett are in St. Giles Church in Whittington. The couple had no children.

paragraph: Packington Hall, designed by architect James Wyatt, sat in of parkland owned by Thomas Levett. Situated just over three miles (5 km) from Lichfield, where the first Staffordshire Levett had served as town clerk in the early eighteenth century, Packington Hall home was the residence of successive generations of Levetts. The home was remarkable for its avenues of old oaks and elms.

paragraph: Another distant branch of the Sussex Levett family lives at Milford Hall in the same county. The two branches of the family were reunited when in the late nineteenth century a Wychnor Levett married a Milford Hall Levett.

paragraph: Avner Less

paragraph: Avner Werner Less (18 December 1916 – 7 January 1987) was a German-born Israeli police officer, best known for interrogating former German SS officer Adolf Eichmann after he was captured by Mossad agents in Argentina and brought to Israel to stand trial.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Less was born in Berlin, Germany in 1916. He attended the Upper Forest School in Charlottenburg. In 1933, after the Nazis assumed power, he emigrated to France, where he continued his agricultural studies.

paragraph: In 1938, he emigrated to Mandatory Palestine, and during his first years there, worked on orange plantations. From 1941 to 1948, he was a police officer in Haifa and price checker for the local district. After Israeli independence in 1948, he became head of the Import-Export Section of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and was Deputy-Director of the Legal Department for price control in the Haifa district. In 1951, he joined the Israel Police, and worked in the Department of Economic Crimes. From 1954 to 1968, while still an officer in the Israel Police, he was loaned to the Foreign Service.

paragraph: He initially served as an attaché in New York City, and as permanent representative of Israel to the annual conference of the UN Drug Commission in Geneva, and as a representative of Israel at Interpol.

paragraph: In 1960, Less, now a Chief Inspector in the Israel Police, was tasked with interrogating former German SS officer Adolf Eichmann, who was captured by Mossad agents in Argentina in May 1960 and brought to Israel to stand trial. For nine months, Less served as Eichmann's interrogator, questioning him daily for a total of 275 hours. He was the only investigator allowed to speak to Eichmann. The transcripts of the interrogation were forwarded to prosecutors. In 1961, Less testified and was cross-examined at Eichmann's trial. Extracts from the interrogation of Eichmann by Less have been published in the 1983 book "Eichmann Interrogated".

paragraph: After Eichmann was convicted, Less left for France to serve as Israel's consul in Paris. He was already in Paris when he heard of Eichmann's execution. He lectured on the Eichmann trial in schools throughout Europe, including in Germany. In 1964, Less traveled to Germany at the request of prosecutors to testify at the trial of two Nazi war criminals on trial in Frankfurt over their role in the murder of 400,000 Hungarian Jews. While in Germany, a German nationalist newspaper demanded his arrest as an accessory to the abduction of Adolf Eichmann. This was not taken seriously by authorities.

paragraph: After completing his term as consul in Paris, Less did not return to Israel and remained in Europe. He settled in Switzerland in 1968, and until 1971 was a member of the "Banque de Crédit International Genève". In 1972, he became head of internal security for "Bank Robinson AG" in Basel. From 1976 to 1979, he worked at the Company for Bank Revisions in Basel, and in 1979, he was employed by "Neutra Treuhand AG" as internal controller. In May 1982, Less's full rapprochement with Germany and the German people became clear when at his request, he was granted citizenship by West Germany, becoming a dual Israeli-German citizen. Less died in Zürich in 1987, at age 71.

paragraph: With a HEC diploma, he was the youngest Renault dealer in France, with a dealership installed in Dieppe. Rédélé first started (1950) rallying Dieppe-Rouen with a 4 CV, because he considered the small French car had a great rallying potential. This first race was a first victory, and he decided to continue. After a failed Monte Carlo Rally Rédelé started racing in the French Alps. In the Alps he had his greatest victories. That's why his cars bore the brand ""Alpine"" as a memento of his first victory in the 1954 Coupe des Alpes.

paragraph: Jean Rédélé's first car was a 4CV coach, in 1952. Then the second special 4Cv spéciale "The Marquis" was presented at the New York car show in 1954, without posterity.

paragraph: He created the brand Alpine on 1955. The first model is the A106 coach. The 106 is a reference to the power pack of the 4CV of the 1060 series. In 1971 Alpine won its first European title for European rallies. In 1973 Alpine was the first world champion of rallying with 155 points followed by Fiat (89) and Ford (76).

paragraph: Neck Face

paragraph: Neck Face (born 1984 in Stockton, California) is an anonymous graffiti artist. He is known for his frightening drawing style and humorous writings. His works have been shown in Art Galleries around the world and much like Banksy his work appears guerrilla style on the streets.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Neck Face grew up in a large family being the second youngest out of a total of five brothers and for a time lived in Mexico. Two of his brothers ran a graffiti shop where he spent a lot of time. The rest of his brothers worked at his father's tire shop. He began tagging in Stockton, California during his junior year in high school. From 1998 to 2002, Neck Face attended Bear Creek High School and Tokay High School. Neck Face claims he gained most of his art knowledge during elementary school, saying, "I think I learned more in school in the earlier years than the later years. I think if you are a teacher, you should teach the kid as much as you can in the beginning years of school." He gained notoriety through his self-made stickers throughout nearby towns of Stockton and Lodi, California, where his works first showed up on public objects. Later, as his graffiti techniques evolved, his work spread to San Francisco, where his name can still be seen on many newspaper stands and walls throughout the city. While attending high school Neck Face thought that he could never go to post-secondary school with his low SAT scores but the girlfriend of one of his brothers told him he could apply to Art Universities. Stunned at this news he applied to two universities, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in Valencia, California and School of Visual Arts (SVA) in Manhattan, New York. He applied to these two as they only looked at portfolios not SAT scores.

paragraph: In 2002 he started at SVA and attended for two years before dropping out. The attention Neck Face received from his street work allowed him to move his work off the streets and into the art galleries. Galleries that have shown his artwork include the New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles, the Luggage Store in San Francisco, One Grand Gallery in Portland, the Dactyl Foundation in New York, and the OHWOW Gallery in Miami.

paragraph: Neck Face has been compared to Banksy, and described as "generally superfamous in the cool parts of the art world."

paragraph: Section::::Artwork.

paragraph: Neck Face's first gallery show was when he was 18-years-old and was sponsored by Rich Jacobs and held at New Image Art gallery in West Hollywood, California. Neck Face's style can be described as naïve and scratchy. His themes have a bloody, violent and medieval feel to them. Obvious influences are heavy metal and latrinalia. Gallery works follow Neck Face's familiar style but are not limited to drawings and paintings, shows have included sharp metal masks, felt installations, and sculptures. In an interview on Epicly Later'd, Neck Face describes using watercolors in his artwork as "I get the watercolor and then I just f*#k it up". In this same interview, he acknowledges King Diamond as a major influence.

paragraph: One public art piece appropriated the sign on an abandoned storefront of "My Old Lady" in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood; he painted under that "...♥'s Neck Face". In 2005, to the displeasure of nearby residents and building superintendents, his work was prominently visible from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. In 2011 Neck Face visited Bangkok, Thailand to do graffiti in the street.

paragraph: In addition to appearing across billboards and buildings in the United States, Neck Face's work can be seen internationally in places such as Melbourne, Sydney, Copenhagen, and Tokyo.

paragraph: Section::::Artwork.:Commercial projects.

paragraph: His first skateboard art was for famous skateboarder Mark Gonzales. He approached a then 18-year-old Neck Face in New York and asked him to provide a design for a "Krooked" board. After his first board with Gonzales he was introduced to Kevin 'Spanky' Long and started to create boards for him and the Baker skateboard brand. He would later put Spanky in the hospital after lighting him on fire.

paragraph: As a skateboarder himself, Neck Face has helped design for Baker Skateboards, and is the Art Director for Baker Skateboards. Neck Face has also collaborated with Vans, Stüssy and Altamont Apparel.

paragraph: There is an all-access documentary featuring Neck Face in the works that started as a long-term project in 2005 by director Ty Evans. It as yet has no expected release date.

paragraph: John G. Johnson

paragraph: John Graver Johnson (1841, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – April 13, 1917, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an American corporate lawyer and art collector. The Philadelphia law firm that he founded in 1863 continues under the name Saul Ewing. His collection of nearly 1,300 paintings forms the core of early European works at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: The son of a blacksmith, he attended Philadelphia public schools, and apprenticed in the law offices of Benjamin & Murray Rush. He was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in February 1863, and served briefly in the American Civil War. He had an extraordinary memory, reportedly memorizing Shakespeare plays as a youth, and reciting extended citations of law in the courtroom.

paragraph: He argued 168 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, beginning in 1884. He represented the Standard Oil Company, the Sugar Trust, the American Tobacco Company, and the Northern Securities Company; and was counsel for J. P. Morgan & Company, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the New York Central Railroad, the Baldwin Locomotive Company, the United States Steel Corporation, the Amalgamated Copper Company, the American Distilleries Company, and many other corporations and banks.

paragraph: Johnson declined offers to be nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court from U.S. Presidents James Garfield and Grover Cleveland. U.S. President William McKinley unsuccessfully sought him to become U.S. Attorney General.

paragraph: In an April 15, 1917 obituary, "The New York Times" called him, "the greatest lawyer in the English-speaking world," and, "probably less known to the general public in proportion to his importance than any other man in the United States."

paragraph: Section::::Art collecting.

paragraph: Johnson amassed one of the finest art collections in the United States. Relying on his own judgment and study, he concentrated on early-Renaissance Italian primitives, Spanish, Flemish, and Dutch paintings. He also bought works by contemporary artists, including Eduard Charlemont, Gustave Courbet, Mariano Fortuny, T. Alexander Harrison, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent, and James Whistler. He made annual trips to Europe, and wrote a short memoir: "Sight-Seeing in Berlin and Holland among Pictures" (1892).

paragraph: An assessment of the collection from 1914:

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: In 1875, he married Ida Powel Morrell, a widow with three small children. They had no children together. The family lived at 506 South Broad Street, and he later bought the adjacent house to store his art collection.

paragraph: Section::::Bequest.

paragraph: In his Will, Johnson left the collection to the City of Philadelphia with the provision that it be exhibited at 510 South Broad Street. A proposal to build a museum on the new Benjamin Franklin Parkway to house the collection was considered and abandoned. Following six years in storage, the City opened the house museum in November 1923, but the first two floors provided only enough room to display 275 works. More than 1,000 works were stored on the upper floors or in rented space elsewhere. In 1931, the unexhibited works were moved into storage at the newly built Philadelphia Museum of Art. The City's fire marshal subsequently found 510 South Broad Street not to be fireproof, and in June 1933 the 275 exhibited works were "temporarily" transferred to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The City demolished the Broad Street house in the late-1950s to build a medical clinic.

paragraph: Johnson's art was exhibited as a separate collection within the Philadelphia Museum of Art for more than 50 years. In the 1980s legal approval was granted for the Museum to integrate the works into its full collection. The current 100-year loan of the collection lasts until 2083.

paragraph: Balcomb Greene

paragraph: Balcomb Greene (1904–1990) and his wife, artist Gertrude Glass Greene, were heavily involved in political activism to promote mainstream acceptance of abstract art. They were founding members of the American Abstract Artists organization. His early style was completely non-objective. Juan Gris and Piet Mondrian as well as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse influenced his early style. From the 1940s his work "opened out to the light and space of natural form." He painted landscapes and figure. "He discerned the pain of a man, and hewed to it integrally from beginning to end…. In his study of the figure he did not stress anatomical shape but rather its intuitive, often conflicting spirit."

paragraph: Balcomb Greene contributed to modernist cause through his writings: "It is actually the artist, and only he, who is equipped for approaching the individual directly. The abstract artist can approach man through the most immediate of aesthetic experiences, touching below consciousness and the veneer of attitudes, contacting the whole ego rather than the ego on the defensive."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Balcomb (John Wesley) Greene was born on May 22, 1904, Millville, New York.

paragraph: He studied from 1922 to 1926 at Syracuse University, where he received his BA degree. In 1927 he studied English literature at Columbia University. Greene taught English literature at Dartmouth College from 1928 to 1931. In 1931 he went to Paris and studied art at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière.

paragraph: Soon after his return to New York in 1933, he realized that his true interest was painting. He started "to work for the Emily Francis Contemporary Gallery, a non-profit organization that showed particular interest in American artists and had exhibited the work of Bradley Walker Tomlin and Mark Tobey." In 1935 he became the first president of the Artists Union and in 1936 the first chairman of the American Abstract Artists (AAA). In the late 1930s he was employed by the New York mural division of the Federal Art Project (WPA), and completed abstract murals for the Williamsburg Houses (Brooklyn Museum, on long-term loan from the New York City Housing Authority) and the Public Health Building of the 1939 New York World's Fair (destroyed). Also in 1939 and 1941 he was re-elected as chairman of American Abstract Artists, but resigned from that organization in 1942, when he began a career as a professor of art history and aesthetics.

paragraph: After receiving his master's degree in art history (New York University, 1943), Greene taught at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, while also continuing to pursue a career as an artist. Gertrude Greene stayed in New York, and the couple shared a studio on Montauk, Long Island, during summer breaks. Greene worked alone to pursue his solitary style but at the same time, he was familiar with the Abstract Expressionist movement. He wrote in "Art News", "The Fourth Illusions, or Hunger for Genius" "A picture is painted of modern art that arranges all participants into movements, like well-behaved Englishmen in clubs." In spite of his conviction, he agreed to participate in the invitational New York Painting and Sculpture Annuals organized by the New York School artists in 1954, 1955 and 1957. In 1972 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member.

paragraph: Greene granted interviews to Jacqueline Moss, who was researching his wife for her master's thesis, published in 1980.

paragraph: Balcomb Greene died November 12, 1990, in Montauk Point, New York.

paragraph: Section::::Selected solo exhibitions.

paragraph: His first solo shows were in Paris in 1937, and at J. B. Newmann's New Art Circle, in New York, in 1947. From 1950 to 1961 he exhibited annually at Bertha Schaefer Gallery, New York, where his 1950, 1955, and 1956 exhibitions were nominated by Art News as among the year's ten best. He exhibited at the American University, Washington, D.C.. In 1961 Balcomb Greene had a retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City in 1961. The same year had solo exhibitions at the Everhart Museum, Scranton, Pennsylvania; at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts; Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Minnesota; University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute Utica, New York. He continued to have one man shows at the Saidenberg Gallery in New York from 1962 to 1968. He had several other solo exhibitions: Feingarten Gallery, Los Angeles, in 1963 and 1964. He had solo exhibitions in 1965 at the University Gallery, University of Florida. Gainesville and at the Tampa Art Institute, Tampa, Florida. He had solo shows in 1966 at the Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, Arizona and at the Main Street Galleries, Chicago.

paragraph: Napoleone della Torre

paragraph: Napoleone della Torre (died 16 August 1278), also known as Napo della Torre or Napo Torriani, was an Italian nobleman, who was effective Lord of Milan in the late 13th century. He was a member of the della Torre family, the father of Corrado della Torre and the brother of Raimondo della Torre.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Napoleone was the son of Pagano I della Torre. In 1260 he was podestà of Piacenza.

paragraph: He took power in Milan in 1265, succeeding his cousin Filippo as "Anziano del Popolo" ("Elder of the People") and, at the same time, "podestà" of Como, Novara, Bergamo and Lodi. He continued the family policy of support of Charles of Anjou and the Guelph party against the Ghibellines and the Kingdom of Sicily.

paragraph: The Angevin victory at Benevento of the following year meant a triumph of the Guelphs in Italy; in 1267 the main members of the party met in Milan to renew the league against the new Ghibelline leader, the German Conradin. Napo was named commander of the league together with his brother Raimondo and William VII of Montferrat. Napo however did not attack Conradin who was in Pavia, perhaps due to personal problems with the Papacy. After Conradin's death in the battle of Tagliacozzo (1268) and his definitive conquest of southern Italy, Charles of Anjou tried to extend his power to the whole peninsula: Napo refused to support his moves, provoking Angevin revenge in the form of rebellions against him.

paragraph: In 1269 his brother Raimondo, bishop of Como, was captured by Conrad Venosta von Matsch (a minor vassal of Valchiavenna); Napo intervened and freed him in 1273. In the same year, after the election of Rudolph of Habsburg as Holy Roman Emperor, Napo switched to the imperial party in order to counter the dominance of Charles of Anjou. His reward was the title of imperial vicar in Lombardy (1274).

paragraph: At this point Ottone Visconti (who had been named archbishop of Milan in 1262 but had never been able to enter his seat), and now the main exponent of the opposition in Milan and in Brianza against the Della Torre, waged war against him. Napo initially defeated Visconti's troops in the battle of Guazzera (near Lake Maggiore), but, on 21 January 1277, he was beaten and captured in the battle of Desio together with his son Corrado and his nephew Guido. His imprisonment marked the end of della Torre rule in Milan, replaced by the Visconti, who held it until the 15th century.

paragraph: Napo della Torre was jailed in the Castel Baradello at Como, where he remained until his death in 1278. He was buried in the church of St. Nicholas in the castle.

paragraph: Jane Weinberger

paragraph: Rebecca Jane Weinberger (née Dalton; March 29, 1918 – July 12, 2009) was an American author, publisher and wife of Caspar Weinberger, the 15th United States Secretary of Defense. She wrote over a dozen books during her career, many written for children and young adults.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Born as Rebecca Jane Dalton on March 29, 1918, in Milford, Maine, she attended the University of Maine and the Somerville Hospital School of Nursing in Somerville, Massachusetts.

paragraph: Dalton, who became a nursing instructor following her completion of school, signed with the United States government to help in times of national emergency. She was called to duty at the beginning of World War II and became a U.S. Army nurse. She met her future husband, a U.S. Army second lieutenant Caspar Weinberger, while the two were on the same troop transport ship to Australia during the summer of 1942. She actually outranked Weinberger by a few weeks at the time.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: The couple married just three weeks later, once the ship disembarked in Australia. The wedding took place in Sydney, Australia, in 1942. However, they did not live together until the end of World War II. They moved to San Francisco, Caspar Weinberger's hometown, after the war.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Caspar Weinberger initially worked for a San Francisco law firm. However, it was his wife who persuaded her husband to run for political office and worked as his first campaign manager. He was elected to the California State Assembly in 1952, where he represented a San Francisco area constituency for the next six years. She remained actively engaged in his political campaigns.

paragraph: Weinberger's career continued to rise during the Nixon and Reagan administrations. Jane Weinberger moved to Washington D.C. at the start of the Nixon presidency, when her husband was appointed as head of the Federal Trade Commission. He later became the director of the Office of Management and Budget under Nixon, and as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under both Nixon and President Gerald Ford. Caspar Weinberger later became the Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan for most of his two terms in office. He resigned as Defense Secretary in 1987 when Jane was diagnosed with several serious medical conditions, including cancer, which she survived.

paragraph: Section::::Author.

paragraph: Jane Weinberger first began writing and publishing during Reagan's first term, while her husband, Caspar Weinberger, was Defense Secretary. Her foray into publishing began as the result of one of the Reagan administration's budget cuts. President Reagan had eliminated funding for the Future Scientists Fund, which would team students with scientists at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, for the summer. Weinberger was a key supporter of the program.

paragraph: Weinberger authored a children's book, "Vim", about a lab mouse, in order to raise money for the Future Scientists Fund. She donated all proceeds from the sales of "Vim" to the FSF. She collaborated with her husband on another children's book, "Kiltie", about the Weinbergers' family dog, Kiltie. Jane wrote the story, while Caspar took the photographs which appear in the book. Caspar also helped to pack, sell and deliver some of his wife's books during the Reagan years. Jane Weinberger acknowledged her husband's contributions in the author's notes for a 1986 book about charitable fundraising, "Please Buy My Violets".

paragraph: Jane Weinberger founded the publishing company Windswept House Publishers in 1984. The publishing house was named for the Weinberger family home located in Somesville, Maine on Mount Desert Island. Weinberger ran the company from her home. Windswept House initially published children's books written by Weinberger, but she expanded its catalogue to include children's publications written by other authors, as well as books for adults. The company has published over 120 books, many aimed at young people, since its creation.

paragraph: In 1991, Weinberger released "As Ever: A Selection of Letters from the Voluminous Correspondence of Jane Weinberger, 1970-1990", a compilation of letters which she had written to her friends and family. The letters offered an insight into Weinberger's views of top political figures. She called Nancy Reagan "irritable and snappish", referred to former Soviet Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Dobrynin as "a wily old bastard but amusing" and stated that former Vice President Spiro Agnew "makes me sick".

paragraph: Weinberger was also involved in a number of other charitable causes. She served as the chairwoman of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C. from 1981-86. Weinberger held seats on the boards of directors of both Amherst College and the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine.

paragraph: Weinberger and her husband co-founded a scholarship for students at Mount Desert Island High School pursuing careers in vocational programs. She authored her last book, "Experience the Journey", in 2003. Caspar Weinberger died in 2006, aged 88.

paragraph: Section::::Author.:Later life.

paragraph: Jane Weinberger had been in poor health before suffering a stroke in July 2009. She died at a nursing care facility in Bar Harbor, Maine, on July 12, 2009, aged 91. Her ashes were scattered in the gardens of her home in Somesville, Maine. She was survived by her two children, daughter Arlin Weinberger, and son, Caspar Weinberger, Jr.; three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and a sister.

paragraph: Andrew, Duke of Calabria

paragraph: Andrew, Duke of Calabria (30 October 1327 – 18 September 1345) was the first husband of Joanna I of Naples, and a son of Charles I of Hungary and brother of Louis I of Hungary.

paragraph: Section::::Background and engagement.

paragraph: Andrew was the second of three surviving sons of King Charles I of Hungary and his third wife, Elizabeth of Poland. He was betrothed in 1334 to his cousin Joanna, granddaughter and heiress apparent of King Robert of Naples; Andrew's father was a fraternal nephew of King Robert, making Andrew and Joanna both members of the Capetian House of Anjou.

paragraph: Robert's claim to the throne was rather tenuous and did not follow primogeniture. Andrew's grandfather, Charles Martel of Anjou, had died young; therefore, the throne should have passed to Andrew's father. However, due to fears of impending invasion from Sicily, it was felt that a seven-year-old heir was too risky and would not be able to hold off invasions. The throne was offered to the next son of Charles II of Naples, Louis, but he refused on religious grounds, and it thus passed to Robert. To recompensate Andrew's father, Charles II decided to assign him the claim to Hungary.

paragraph: When King Robert died in 1343, in his last will and testament, he formally bequeathed his kingdom to his granddaughter Joanna, making no mention of Andrew and thus denying him the right to reign along with Joanna.

paragraph: Section::::Struggle for the crown.

paragraph: With the approval of Pope Clement VI, Joanna was crowned sole monarch of Naples in August 1344. Fearing for his life, Andrew wrote to his mother Elizabeth that he would soon flee the kingdom. She intervened, and made a state visit, before she returned to Hungary allegedly bribing Pope Clement to reverse himself and permit the coronation of Andrew. She also gave a ring to Andrew, which was supposed to protect him from death by blade or poison, and returned with a false sense of security to Hungary.

paragraph: When Joanna fell ill in the summer of 1344, Andrew caused great controversy when he released the Pipini brothers. They had been locked up by Robert the Wise after having been convicted for murder, rape, pillage, treason and several other offences. Their possessions had been given to other nobles, who now became increasingly hostile to Andrew.

paragraph: Section::::Murder and aftermath.

paragraph: Hearing of the Pope's reversal, a group of noble conspirators (the involvement of Queen Joanna has never been proven) determined to forestall Andrew's coronation. During a hunting trip at Aversa, Andrew left his room in the middle of the night and was set upon by the conspirators. A treacherous servant barred the door behind him, and, as Joanna cowered in their bed, a terrible struggle ensued, Andrew defending himself furiously and shrieking for aid. He was finally overpowered, strangled with a cord, and flung from a window. Isolde, Andrew's Hungarian nurse took the Prince's corpse to the church of the monks, and remained with it until next morning mourning it. When the Hungarian knights arrived she told them everything in their mother tongue so no one else would learn about the truth, and soon they left Naples reporting everything to the Hungarian King.

paragraph: The deed would taint the rest of Joanna's reign, although she was twice acquitted of any charge in the trials that followed. Andrew's elder brother Louis I of Hungary several times invaded the Kingdom of Naples and drove out Joanna, only to meet with reverses. Ultimately, 37 years later, their kinsman Charles III of Naples conquered Naples with Hungarian aid and put Joanna to death. She had been married three times more since Andrew.

paragraph: Andrew and Joanna had one posthumous son, Charles Martel (Naples, 25 December 1345 – aft. 10 May 1348) who died young in Hungary.

paragraph: Lacuzon (, "disturbance") or Claude Prost (June 17, 1607 – December 21, 1681) was a Franc-Comtois leader.

paragraph: He was born at Longchaumois ("département" of Jura).

paragraph: He gained his first military experience when the French invaded Burgundy in 1636, harrying the French troops from the castles of Montaigu and Saint-Laurent-la-Roche, and devastating the frontier districts of Bresse and Bugey with fire and sword (1640–1642). In the first invasion of Franche-Comté by Louis XIV in 1668 Lacuzon was unable to make any effective resistance, but he played an important part in Louis' second invasion.

paragraph: In 1673 he defended Salins for some time; after the capitulation of the town he took refuge in Italy. He died at Milan on December 21, 1681.

paragraph: Viv Albertine

paragraph: Viviane Katrina Louise "Viv" Albertine (born 1 December 1954) is an Australian-born British singer and songwriter, and author, best known as the guitarist for the English punk group the Slits. She lives in Camden, London.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Albertine was born in Sydney to an English mother of partial Swiss ancestry and a Corsican father. She was brought up in north London, attended comprehensive school in Muswell Hill, and at the age of 17 enrolled in Hornsey School of Art. After completing a foundation course at Hornsey, she went to Chelsea School of Art to study fashion and textile design. In 1976, while still studying at Chelsea, she helped form the early punk band the Flowers of Romance. In 1976, her Swiss maternal grandmother gave her money to purchase an electric guitar.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.

paragraph: Albertine was amongst the first "inner circle" fans of the Sex Pistols, and was a close friend of both Mick Jones and Joe Strummer of the Clash. In 1976 she helped form the Flowers of Romance with Sid Vicious. She joined the Slits as the band's guitarist after founding member Kate Korus left. Hesitant to join an all female band she changed her mind after her friend Chrissie Hynde told her to "Shut up and get on with it." The Clash's 1979 song "Train in Vain" has been interpreted by some as a response to "Typical Girls" by the Slits, which mentions girls standing by their men. Albertine split up with songwriter Mick Jones shortly before he wrote the song.

paragraph: While continuing as a key member of the Slits, Albertine contributed guitar and vocal work to the 49 Americans' 1980 album "E Pluribus Unum".

paragraph: She became part of Adrian Sherwood's dub-influenced collective New Age Steppers, and played on their self-titled 1981 debut album. She appeared as a guest guitarist on the Flying Lizards' debut album, as well as Singers & Players' 1982 album "Revenge of the Underdog".

paragraph: After the Slits disbanded in 1982, Albertine studied filmmaking in London. She worked as a director, mostly for television, throughout most of the 1980s and 1990s. Her freelance directing work included stints with the BBC and the British Film Institute.

paragraph: In 2009 she began performing as a solo artist. Her debut gig was at the Windmill in Brixton on 20 September 2009. She went on to tour the USA, opening for the Raincoats. In March 2010 she released a four-song debut solo EP entitled "Flesh" on Thurston Moore's "Ecstatic Peace!" label.

paragraph: Albertine recorded a cover version of David Bowie's "Letter to Hermione" for the Bowie tribute album "" which was released on 6 September 2010. Her debut solo album, "The Vermilion Border", was released on 5 November 2012 through the Cadiz Music label. The album was a featured project on Pledgemusic.

paragraph: On 17 June 2013 she opened for Siouxsie Sioux at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

paragraph: Section::::Film career.

paragraph: In 1991 Albertine wrote and directed the short film "Coping with Cupid", a film about three aliens as blondes that come to earth to research romantic love. In 2010 she worked with Joanna Hogg on the soundtrack to Hogg's 2010 film "Archipelago".

paragraph: In 2012 she started filming with writer/director Hogg on the 2013 film "Exhibition", alongside Tom Hiddleston and Liam Gillick. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival in August 2013, and was released on DVD in 2014.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: Albertine's memoir, "Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys", was published in 2014 in the UK by Faber and Faber. It was a Sunday Times, Mojo, Rough Trade, and NME Book of the Year in 2014, as well as being shortlisted for the National Book Awards. Her second memoir "To Throw Away Unopened" was published by Faber and Faber in May 2018.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Albertine married illustrator Simon Critchley and divorced in 2010.

paragraph: Ivo Whitton

paragraph: Ivo Harrington Whitton (9 December 1893 – 2 July 1967) was an Australian amateur golfer, who, along with Greg Norman, is the only Australian to have won the Australian Open five times (1912, 1913, 1926, 1929 and 1931).

paragraph: Whitton was born in Moonee Ponds, Victoria, his father Percy Whitton was a senior public servant.

paragraph: The younger Whitton took up golfing at the age of 14, joining his father in the Caulfield Golf Club (later the Metropolitan Golf Club) the next year, and winning the club championships three times. In 1911, he began working at a wool broking firm which allowed him time off to play golf during the off-season. In 1914, he competed at The Amateur Championship at Royal St George's Golf Club. He returned to Australia but then came back to England during World War I to serve with the Royal Garrison Artillery after being rejected by the Australian Imperial Force.

paragraph: In 1912, Whitton won his first Australian Open championship, and went on to win four more in 1913, 1926, 1929 and 1931. He also won the Australian Amateur twice, the Victorian Amateur five times, the New South Wales Amateur and the Queensland Amateur and Open.

paragraph: In 1920, Whitton won the Helms Award as the most outstanding Australasian athlete. He returned to the wool industry as a wool appraiser for the Australian government, but ended up as a general manager for the Spalding sporting goods company.

paragraph: The Victorian Golf Association established the Ivo Whitton Trophy in 1960 for the lowest average stroke score in designated tournaments held each year. Whitton himself presented the award to the inaugural winner, Kevin Hartley, who went on to win it a further eleven times. In addition, the Royal Melbourne Golf Club instituted the Ivo Whitton Cup in Whitton's memory. One of the streets in Kambah, a suburb of Canberra, is named Ivo Whitton Circuit.
