paragraph: Ryan Adams

paragraph: David Ryan Adams (born November 5, 1974) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer and poet. He is best known for his solo career, during which he has released 16 albums, and as a former member of rock/alternative country band Whiskeytown, with whom he recorded three studio albums.

paragraph: In 2000, Adams left Whiskeytown and released his debut solo album, "Heartbreaker", to critical acclaim. The album was nominated for the Shortlist Music Prize. The following year, his profile increased with the release of the UK certified-gold "Gold", which included the hit single, "New York, New York". During this time, Adams worked on several unreleased albums, which were consolidated into a third solo release, "Demolition" (2002). Working at a prolific rate, Adams released the classic rock-influenced "Rock N Roll" (2003), after a planned album, "Love Is Hell", was rejected by his label Lost Highway. As a compromise, "Love Is Hell" was released as two EPs and eventually released in its full-length state in 2004.

paragraph: After breaking his wrist during a live performance, Adams took a short-lived break, and formed The Cardinals, a backing band that accompanied him on his next four studio albums. In 2009, after the release of "Cardinology" (2009), Adams disbanded The Cardinals and announced an extended break from music due to complications from Ménière's disease. The following year, however, Adams resumed performing and released his Glyn Johns-produced thirteenth studio album, "Ashes & Fire", in late 2011. The album peaked at No. 7 on the "Billboard" 200. In September 2014, Adams released his fourteenth album, "Ryan Adams", on his own PAX AM label, and formed a new backing band, The Shining, to support the release.

paragraph: In 2015, Adams released "1989", a song-for-song cover of Taylor Swift's album of the same name, and worked on up to eighty songs for an album influenced by his divorce from actress and singer-songwriter Mandy Moore. The album, "Prisoner", was released in 2017.

paragraph: In 2019, Adams announced three albums to be released that year. However, the release of these albums was cancelled after several women came forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Adams. The FBI also announced that they had opened an inquiry into Adams' explicit communications with a minor.

paragraph: In addition to his own material, Adams has also produced albums for Willie Nelson, Jesse Malin, Jenny Lewis, and Fall Out Boy, and has collaborated with Counting Crows, Weezer, Norah Jones, America, Minnie Driver, Cowboy Junkies, Leona Naess, Toots and the Maytals, Beth Orton and Krista Polvere. He has written "Infinity Blues", a book of poems, and "Hello Sunshine", a collection of poems and short stories.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: David Ryan Adams was born on November 5, 1974, in Jacksonville, North Carolina. He is the middle of three children with an older brother and younger sister. His childhood has been described as "dysfunctional." His father left when he was five and at that time he, his mother and his brother and sister had to move in with his grandparents as they became homeless as a result of the divorce. He has said in interview "I became who I am now because of my grandparents" and of his grandmother "...she was like a mother to me." His mother remarried when he was thirteen.

paragraph: At the age of 8, Adams began writing short stories and limericks on his grandmother's typewriter. In his own words, "I started writing short stories when I was really into Edgar Allan Poe. Then later, when I was a teenager, I got really hard into cult fiction: Hubert Selby, Jr., Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac." At fourteen, Adams began learning to play an electric guitar his mother and stepfather had bought him and soon joined a local band named Blank Label. While they quickly disbanded, they did record a short three-track 7" record, in 1991.

paragraph: Adams dropped out of Jacksonville High School in tenth grade, at the age of 16, subsequently moving into bandmate Jere McIlwean's rental house, just outside Jacksonville. Around this time he played and performed with a number of local bands, most notably his and McIlwean's The Patty Duke Syndrome. After obtaining his GED, Adams left Jacksonville for Raleigh, shortly followed by McIlwean. The Patty Duke Syndrome split in 1994 after releasing a split 7" single containing two songs (The Patty Duke Syndrome's song on one side, and a song from a band called GlamourPuss on the other).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Whiskeytown.

paragraph: Following the breakup of The Patty Duke Syndrome, Adams helped found Whiskeytown with Caitlin Cary, Eric "Skillet" Gilmore, Steve Grothmann and Phil Wandscher. Whiskeytown saw Adams move to alt-country, describing punk rock as "too hard to sing" in the title track of Whiskeytown's debut album "Faithless Street". Whiskeytown was heavily influenced by a number of country-rock pioneers, most notably Gram Parsons. The band quickly gained critical acclaim with the release of their second full-length album, "Strangers Almanac", their first major label release. A third album, "Pneumonia," was completed in 1999, but record label problems delayed its release. It was eventually released by Lost Highway in 2001, at which time the band was effectively done.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Solo career (2000–2004).

paragraph: Adams made his solo debut in 2000, with "Heartbreaker" (produced by Ethan Johns). Emmylou Harris sang backup on "Oh My Sweet Carolina." Other backing vocals and instruments were provided by Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Pat Sansone, and Kim Richey as Adams embraced a style more reminiscent of folk music. It was met with considerable critical success, but sales were slow.

paragraph: Adams released "Gold", the follow-up to "Heartbreaker", in 2001. It was well received. Adams, however, initially refused to promote the record through radio station meet-and-greets and other music-industry conventions, instead opting for more recording and some live dates. A video was eventually made for the album's first single, "New York, New York". The music video featured Adams performing in front of the city's skyline four days before the September 11, 2001 attacks. The video was played often on MTV and VH1 after the attacks and became Adams's breakthrough to mainstream music consumers.

paragraph: Following the success of "Gold", in 2002 Adams was blocked by his label from releasing his choice for a follow-up album. This would be the second time, the first being with "Gold;" Adams had recorded "the Suicide Handbook" which was rejected on the grounds that it was "too sad". The label opted this time around to cherry pick (without Adams' involvement) from four of Adams' recorded albums it had already dismissed as unreleasable (48 Hours, The Suicide Handbook, The Pinkhearts and The Swedish Sessions) to create "Demolition," released in September 2002. Although the album garnered him more critical attention, it failed to sell as well as "Gold". The same year, Adams produced Jesse Malin's first album, "The Fine Art of Self Destruction", and later worked with Malin to form the punk-rock group The Finger (under the pseudonyms, "Warren Peace" and "Irving Plaza" respectively), who released two E.P.s which were collected together to form "We Are Fuck You", released on One Little Indian Records in 2003. He also starred in a Gap advertisement with Willie Nelson, performing a cover of Hank Williams's "Move It on Over".

paragraph: In May 2002, Adams joined Elton John on "CMT Crossroads", which brings together country artists with musicians from other genres. During the show, John referred to Adams as "fabulous one" and spoke of how "Heartbreaker" inspired him to record "Songs from the West Coast", which at the time was his most successful album in several years. Also in 2002, Adams reportedly recorded a cover of The Strokes' debut album "Is This It", though it has never been publicly released.

paragraph: In 2002 and 2003, Adams worked on recording "Love Is Hell", intending to release it in 2003. Lost Highway Records deemed that it was not commercially viable and was reluctant to release it, leading Adams to go back to the studio. Two weeks later he returned to Lost Highway with "Rock n Roll", which featured guest musicians including Melissa Auf der Maur, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, and Adams's girlfriend at the time, Parker Posey. Adams' songwriting received additional exposure when Joan Baez included his song "In My Time of Need", from his debut release, on her 2003 album "Dark Chords on a Big Guitar."

paragraph: Also released in 2003, Adams formed a punk band called The Finger with Jesse Malin, Colin Burns, and Johnny T. Yerington. The name derived from notorious early/mid-1990s Raleigh, North Carolina rock band Finger, of which Adams was a big fan. This light-hearted project allowed both artists to return to their punk backgrounds (Adams began his music career as singer for The Patty Duke Syndrome and Malin began his career in the hardcore punk band Heart Attack and more famously as the lead singer of D Generation). They began by releasing two EPs: "We Are Fuck You" and "Punk's Dead Let's Fuck" which were later collected to form the album "We Are Fuck You" that was released in 2003.

paragraph: Adams and Lost Highway Records eventually agreed that the label would release "Rock N Roll" as well as "Love Is Hell", on the condition that "Love Is Hell" be split into two EP installments. "Rock N Roll" and "Love Is Hell, Pt. 1" were released in November 2003, followed by "Love Is Hell, Pt. 2" in December. Both albums were well received by critics, and in May 2004 "Love Is Hell" was re-released as a full-length album.

paragraph: "Love Is Hell" included a cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall", which Adams had previously performed live, and about which Noel Gallagher once said, "I never got my head round this song until I went to [see] Ryan Adams play and he did an amazing cover of it." The song earned Adams a Grammy nomination for "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance".

paragraph: While on tour to support "Love Is Hell" in January 2004, Adams broke his left wrist during a performance at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool. Adams fell off the end of the stage into the lowered orchestra pit six feet below, while performing "The Shadowlands". Dates from Adams's European and American tours had to be canceled as a result of his injury.

paragraph: Adams was featured on the album "True Love" by Toots and the Maytals, which won the Grammy Award in 2004 for Best Reggae Album, and showcased many notable musicians including Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Trey Anastasio, Gwen Stefani / No Doubt, Ben Harper, Bonnie Raitt, Manu Chao, The Roots, Keith Richards, Toots Hibbert, Paul Douglas, Jackie Jackson, Ken Boothe, and The Skatalites.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:The Cardinals (2005–2009).

paragraph: The year 2005 saw Adams join with backing band The Cardinals to produce two albums, "Cold Roses" and "Jacksonville City Nights". "Cold Roses", a double album, included backing vocals from Rachael Yamagata on three songs; "Let It Ride", "Cold Roses" and "Friends". His second album of the year, "Jacksonville City Nights", featured a duet with Norah Jones on "Dear John". As well as releasing two albums with The Cardinals, Adams released the solo album "29" late in the year.

paragraph: In addition to releasing three albums, that year Adams joined other musicians in playing a Hurricane Katrina benefit show at Irving Plaza in New York City. Also, three of Adams's songs were featured in the soundtrack of "Elizabethtown": "Come Pick Me Up", "English Girls Approximately", and a new song called "Words", which was pulled from 2005's "The Elizabethtown Sessions" and remains unreleased, but is floating among collectors as "Darkbreaker". . "Words" was released later in a second volume of Elizabethtown songs.

paragraph: Adams befriended Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, after first meeting him at the Jammys awards in New York in 2005. The two performed Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter's Grateful Dead classic, "Wharf Rat". Adams performed at subsequent outings of Phil Lesh and Friends, including a two-night stand at Red Rocks Amphitheatre outside of Denver, Colorado and on New Year's Eve 2005 at the Bill Graham Event Center in San Francisco. Throughout 2006, Lesh's live performances included compositions by Adams, including several from "Cold Roses" ("Cold Roses", "Let It Ride", and "Magnolia Mountain").

paragraph: In early 2006 Adams performed a solo tour of the United Kingdom, often accompanied by Brad Pemberton (drummer for The Cardinals) and on the final date in London by Carina Round, who performed harmony vocals on 'Come Pick Me Up' from his first solo album- 'Heartbreaker'. Also present was Cardinals guitarist- Neal Casal. Adams then toured the United States with The Cardinals, including a performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago. Adams and The Cardinals then returned to the UK in the summer to begin a tour of Europe.

paragraph: Adams produced Willie Nelson's album "Songbird", while he and The Cardinals performed as Nelson's backing band. The album was released in October 2006. He also opened for Nelson at the Hollywood Bowl later that fall, a show that featured Phil Lesh on bass and multiple Grateful Dead songs. Late in 2006, Adams experimented with hip hop music, adding to his web site 18 albums worth of new recordings under various pseudonyms, featuring humorous and nonsensical lyrics, as well as covers of two Bob Dylan songs ("Isis" and "You're a Big Girl Now").

paragraph: Adams was scheduled to play Stonehenge when the Stonehenge society had to cancel the gigs to an overwhelming response to email or call-in for free tickets. They feared the highway would have to be shut down during the performance due to the demand for tickets. Adams released his ninth album on June 26, 2007, titled "Easy Tiger". The album includes many tracks which were debuted during 2006's tours, as well as other older tracks which were previously unreleased. Later that year, Adams revealed that he had endured "an extended period of substance abuse" that ended in 2006. Adams indicated that he routinely snorted heroin mixed with cocaine, and abused alcohol and pills. Adams beat his addiction with the assistance of his girlfriend at the time, Jessica Joffe, using Valium therapy and occasionally attending 12-Step meetings.

paragraph: On October 23, 2007, Adams released "Follow the Lights", an EP featuring three new songs: "Follow the Lights","Blue Hotel" and "My Love for You Is Real", along with live studio versions of other previously released songs and a cover of Alice in Chains' "Down In A Hole". Adams also appeared as a guest musician on Cowboy Junkies' 2007 album and DVD "Trinity Revisited", a 20th-anniversary re-recording of their classic album "The Trinity Session". In 2007 Adams co-wrote a song with Australian singer-songwriter Krista Polvere for her debut record "Here Be Dragons"; he also played guitar and piano on the album, which was recorded in New York.

paragraph: A new album with The Cardinals, "Cardinology" was released on October 28, 2008. Adams has also announced plans to release a book, entitled "Infinity Blues". According to Lost Highway chairman, Luke Lewis, there will be an "anthology" release in 2009, featuring several new songs.

paragraph: On January 14, 2009, Ryan Adams announced that he was quitting the Cardinals after their final show on March 20, 2009 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. Adams cited hearing loss due to Ménière's disease as well as disillusionment with the music industry, the media and audience behavior as reasons for his decision. He also stated that he has been working on two new books, in addition to "Infinity Blues". The second book, released in the fall of 2009, is entitled "Hello Sunshine". Preorders of "Hello Sunshine" were shipped on August 18 by publisher Akashic Books.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Post-Cardinals (2009).

paragraph: In April 2009, Adams uploaded three new tracks under his black metal moniker Werewolph, and five hard rock tracks under the name Sleazy Handshake.

paragraph: When asked about the Cardinals' future, guitarist Neal Casal stated that: "I have absolutely no idea what the future holds. The Cardinals were the best band I've ever been in, and I would love to play with them again. Only time will tell what's going to happen. [...] I'll certainly miss it a lot." In May 2009, drummer Brad Pemberton stated that: "everyone was a bit fried, so it was the right time to step back for a minute. I encouraged Ryan to go and get married, and have a life and find some peace; the guy hasn't really slowed down in ten years, and he needed it as much as we did. Ryan and I have shared too much and are too good of friends to not ever do anything again, but I think we all need to do our own thing for a minute."

paragraph: The Cardinals, without Adams, have recorded together alongside Gin Wigmore for her debut album.

paragraph: Adams has dismissed any possibility of a reunion in the near future, saying it wouldn't be right after the death of Cardinals bassist Chris 'Spacewolf' Feinstein.

paragraph: In August 2009, Adams began posting on the fan-site, Ryan Adams Archive, discussing the possibility of a Whiskeytown reunion, new songs and releasing his many 'unreleased' albums. In August, Adams also began blogging for The Awl. In September 2009, Adams debuted a new song online, entitled "Happy Birthday", and began releasing singles, featuring previously unreleased material, from his new record label, PAX AM.

paragraph: Casal released a photo-book, "", in February 2010, documenting his time within the band.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:PAX AM and return to music (2010–2013).

"Orion" was released on vinyl only on May 18, 2010 and was sold through the PAX AM online store. According to Adams's Facebook page, he had completed two unreleased albums, "Blackhole" and "Cardinals III/IV", and was currently recording new albums in both New York City and Los Angeles.

paragraph: On October 29, 2010, Adams played his first live show since stepping down from the Cardinals in March 2009, at a benefit hosted by Judd Apatow. He was backed by Marshall Vore, Sebastian Steinberg and former Cardinal Jamie Candiloro, who were billed as "The Ryan Adams Band". They debuted three new songs and were joined onstage by Mandy Moore for "Oh My Sweet Carolina."

paragraph: On April 21, 2013, Adams released an EP, "7 Minutes in Heaven", with his newly formed punk rock band Pornography, featuring Make Out vocalist Leah Hennessey and frequent collaborator Johnny T. Yerington. In July 2013, Adams collaborated as a producer with rock band Fall Out Boy at his PAX AM Studio, which resulted in Fall Out Boy's "PAX AM Days" EP. On March 19, 2013 Ryan played a live show with a full band for the first time since the Cardinals disbanded. The show was for Noel Gallagher's Teenage Cancer Trust benefit. The venue's website stated that Ryan was playing new songs from a forthcoming album.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Self-titled studio album, PAX AM Single Series, "1989" and "Prisoner" (2014–2018).

paragraph: On July 1, 2014, stories emerged that a self-titled album, "Ryan Adams", would be released on September 9, 2014. Since this announcement, Adams has released a 7" vinyl EP, entitled "1984" and announced tour dates through mid October 2014. He debuted several new songs from the self-titled album in a series of festival concerts in late July 2014. On September 9, 2014, the self-titled album "Ryan Adams" was released on PAX-AM records.

paragraph: In addition to the self-titled album, Adams announced a project he calls the "PAX AM Single Series", with a new seven-inch release each month. Adams stated, "I'm going to release a single every month until I can't do it any more." The first of these releases, the "1984" EP, was released in August 2014 and is described by Adams as, "pay[ing] homage to the halcyon days of the earliest releases from [record labels] Dischord, SST, Touch & Go and their ilk." Additional singles entitled "Jacksonville", "Vampires", "Do You Laugh When You Lie?" were released in 2014 with another entitled "No Shadow" (featuring actor Johnny Depp, who had previously appeared on his self-titled album) in January 2015. "Blue Light" was released in March 2015. Often selling out within minutes of being released through PAX AM's website, the singles remain available for digital download.

paragraph: On December 5, 2014, "Gimme Something Good", a song from the "Ryan Adams" album, was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.

paragraph: Adams suffers from Ménière's disease and tinnitus. A flyer advising of Adams' condition is affixed to the first several rows of seats at his concerts, with the admonition for audience members to refrain from taking flash photos or using auto focus assist beams when photographing at his shows.

paragraph: Section::::Recognition.

paragraph: Adams is recognized for his prolific songwriting and resemblance of singing style with that of a country rocker even though he was a well-adapted punk rocker in the early part of his career. Throughout his career, Ryan Adams has been frequently experimenting with different genres although his music has been of alternative rock genre for the major part of his career. He is also one of the few artists to emerge from the alt-country scene into mainstream commercial success. His musical style and dynamism has been praised by various artists like Frank Turner, Elton John, Willie Nelson, Taylor Swift, Norah Jones, Wesley Schultz, Jared Followill and Noel Gallagher.

paragraph: According to some sources, Adams is a disciple of John Fogerty and has opened for him as a member of Whiskeytown at the Star Lake Amphitheatre in June 1998. American author Stephen King has also professed his fandom for Adams and stated, "I won’t say Adams is the best North American singer songwriter since Neil Young…but I won’t say he isn’t either.".

paragraph: Section::::Controversies.

paragraph: At a concert in October 2002, at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, someone in the audience yelled out a request for "Summer of '69," a hit by the similarly-named Bryan Adams. Ryan reacted with a stream of expletives, and ordered the house lights turned on, "The Tennessean" newspaper reported. He eventually found the fan who made the joke request, paid him $30 cash as a refund for the show, ordered him to leave, and said he would not play another note until he had left. In a 2014 interview, Ryan Adams denied that the audience member was asked to leave "for screaming a Bryan Adams song", but rather because the man was drunk: "The reason why the guy ever was asked to leave by me was because I was doing an a capella three-piece with Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, and myself of 'Bartering Lines,' and in between the quiet parts the guy was screaming." In April 2015, Ryan, who had since become friends with Bryan, played "Summer of '69" at the end of another performance at the Ryman, an act described by "Rolling Stone" as "an olive branch to the city that was once his home."

paragraph: Adams left an angry message on critic Jim DeRogatis' answering machine, in response to a scathing review DeRogatis gave of an Adams show in 2003.

paragraph: During filming of the BBC's long-running show "Songwriter's Circle", where Adams was joined by American folk-singer Janis Ian and New Zealand's Neil Finn, it was reported that he refused to participate in a number of the songs performed on the night and was generally dismissive of collaborating with the others. The fallout from the show resulted in an online to-and-fro argument between himself, Ian, and members of the public, who cited Adams's rude behavior and eccentric demeanor toward his colleagues. In August 2017, Adams singled out Father John Misty for criticism, while a month earlier he made derogatory remarks about The Strokes through social media.

paragraph: Section::::Controversies.:Sexual misconduct allegations.

paragraph: On February 13, 2019, "The New York Times" reported that several women (including ex-wife Mandy Moore and Phoebe Bridgers) said Adams offered to assist them with their music careers, then pursued the women sexually. In some cases, Adams reportedly retaliated when they spurned his advances, sabotaging their careers and harassing them in text messages and on social media. One such accuser said that Adams sent her sexually explicit text messages when she was underage. Adams has denied the accusations. The next day, "The New York Times" reported that the FBI was investigating if Adams had committed a crime by engaging in sexually explicit communications with an underage fan. On March 1, 2019, SJM Concerts released a statement that Adams's upcoming tour of Britain and Ireland, which had been scheduled to start in Dublin on March 30, 2019, had been cancelled and that full refunds would be issued to ticket holders.

paragraph: Richie Evans

paragraph: Richard Ernest Evans (July 23, 1941 – October 24, 1985), was an American racing driver who won nine NASCAR National Modified Championships, including eight in a row from 1978 to 1985. The International Motorsports Hall of Fame lists this achievement as "one of the supreme accomplishments in motorsports". Evans won virtually every major race for asphalt modifieds, most of them more than once, including winning the Race of Champions three times. Evans was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame on June 14, 2011. As one of the Class of 2012, Evans is one of the Hall's first 15 inductees, and is the first Hall of Famer from outside NASCAR's premier series.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Evans left his family's farm in Westernville, New York at age 16 to work at a local garage in Rome, New York. After he found early success in street racing, then became a winner in drag racing, an associate suggested he try building a car to race at the nearby Utica-Rome Speedway. He ran his first oval-track car, a 1954 Ford Hobby Stock numbered PT-109 (after John F. Kennedy's torpedo boat in World War II), in 1962. He advanced to the Modifieds, the premier division, in 1965, winning his first feature in the season's final night.

paragraph: Section::::National championships.

paragraph: In 1973, Evans became the NASCAR National Modified Champion. In 1978, the "Rapid Roman" won a second title and did not relinquish his crown during the next seven years. Evans took over four hundred feature race wins at racetracks from Quebec to Florida before he was killed in a crash at Martinsville Speedway while practicing for the Winn-Dixie 500 tripleheader in late 1985 (three races in one day—a 200-lap Modified race, a 200-lap Busch Series race, and a 100-lap Late Model race). Before his fatal crash, Evans had clinched NASCAR's inaugural Winston Modified Tour (now known as Whelen Modified Tour) championship.

paragraph: Section::::Regional championships.

paragraph: In 1982, NASCAR created the Whelen All-American Series, then known as the Winston Racing Series, to reward successful short-track racers and to provide incentives for them to support their local weekly short tracks, known now as NASCAR Home Tracks. A region-based series when Evans competed (now an international series, based on individual state and provincial champions), Evans won the Northeast Region championship all four years that he competed in it, from 1982 through 1985, but did not win the national championship.

paragraph: Section::::Fatal crash and legacy.

paragraph: On October 24, 1985, Evans, who had clinched the 1985 National Modified title the week before at Thompson, was practicing for the Winn-Dixie 500 Modified Feature at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia (the races featured 200-lap Modified and Busch Grand National, and a 100-lap Late Model feature), when he crashed heavily in turn 3. The 44-year-old perished in the accident. The racing world was devastated by the loss of Richie, but his devoted fans have done much to keep his memory alive. Years later other deaths came in the Whelen Modifieds including Charlie Jarzombek at Martinsville in 1987, Corky Cookman at Thompson in 1987, Don Pratt at the Pocono R.o.C. in 1989 and Tony Jankowiak at Stafford in 1990, occasional competitor and two-time defending track champion Tommy Druar in a Lancaster event in 1989, Tom Baldwin, Sr. at Thompson in 2004, and John Blewett III at Thompson in 2007. As a result, officials made more safety features. Evans' crash, along with other fatal crashes in the late 1980s, led to questions about excessive frame rigidity of the Tour Modifieds, and safety changes resulted. In particular, straight frame rails were phased out, with new chassis required to have a step-up which could bend in hard impacts rather than transmitting all its impact force to the driver.

paragraph: Though not recognized at the time, many racing safety experts have concluded that Evans' death resulted from the same type of "head-whip" injury and resultant Basilar skull fracture, which also claimed the life of Dale Earnhardt in 2001.

paragraph: Evans was the father of six children: Jodi Lynn (Evans) Meola, Janelle Ralaine (Evans) Walda, Jill Ann Evans, Jacqueline Marie (Evans) Williams, Richard Edwin Evans (who has raced under the moniker "Richie Evans Jr.") and Tara Denise (Evans) Farrell.

paragraph: Evans' signature orange Modified paint scheme (GMC truck color Omaha Orange; black numbers with white shading) was replicated in 2003 on a Busch Series car driven by New Jersey native Martin Truex, Jr. in his first year on the series driving for Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s Chance 2 Motorsports. Steve Park also ran a Richie Evans tribute paint scheme for Tommy Baldwin Racing's No. 36 entry at the 2010 Coke Zero 400 at Daytona.

paragraph: It was heard during the draw for an IROC race a few years back that they called the color of one of the cars "Evans Orange." That car carried a small "61" on the bumper cover in the same font used on Richie's last race cars. Ray Evernham, Jr. raced against Richie in the Modifieds and also wrote the foreword in the "Richie! The Richie Evans Story" by Bones Bourcier; he also worked on them at the IROC shops in his native New Jersey and was involved with that aspect.

paragraph: John Bisci's input:

paragraph: "GM Omaha Orange matches his early coupes. Yes, people say it's Dupont Swamp Holly Orange but it's hard to find. When Richie built his last coupes and first Pintos, he switched to Ford Grabber Orange. Also, you have to watch what you use as a primer underneath – it bleeds through the orange or tints it. Never use gray primer under the orange! Richie used red oxide primer which would tint the oranges a little darker..."

paragraph: On June 14, 2011, Evans was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. He is the first driver who competed primarily in Modified-type cars to be elected to the HOF.

paragraph: On January 20, 2012 Evans was inducted into the NASCAR HOF, during which Darrell Waltrip said to the Evan's family during his acceptance speech, "You know Richie Evans I want to congratulate the Richie Evans Family, great job tonight. I watched Richie win race after race after race at Martinsville and in my world is what I call A wheel man and Richie Evans was the best wheel man I ever saw and when he raced at Martinsville."

paragraph: Hendrick Theyanoguin

paragraph: Hendrick Theyanoguin (c. 1691 – September 8, 1755), whose name had several spelling variations, was an important Mohawk leader and member of the Bear Clan; he resided at Canajoharie or the Upper Mohawk Castle in colonial New York. He was a Speaker for the Mohawk Council. Hendrick formed a close alliance with Sir William Johnson, the Superintendent of Indian affairs in North America.

paragraph: Until the late 20th century, Hendrick's biography was conflated with an older Mohawk leader given the same first name in baptism, Hendrick Tejonihokarawa (also known as Hendrick Peters) (c. 1660 – c. 1735). The latter was a member of the Wolf Clan (an important difference, as shown by the historian Barbara Silvertsen) and based in Tiononderoge, the Lower Castle, closer to the English base in Albany. He was one of the "four Indian kings" who visited England and Queen Anne in 1710. The English built Fort Hunter in Tionondaga in 1711 with an Anglican mission. The Mohawk village became mostly Christianized early in the eighteenth century.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Theyanoguin was born to a Mohawk noblewoman and a Mahican chief in Westfield, Massachusetts. By the Mohawk matrilineal kinship system, he was considered born into his mother's Bear Clan. Hereditary offices and property are passed through the maternal line and the mother's oldest brother plays a prominent role in her children's lives, especially for boys. The uncle is more important than the biological father. This system allowed the Mohawk to adopt and assimilate war captives into the tribe, absorbing them as Mohawk. Theyanoguin was baptized as "Hendrick" by Godfridius Dellius of the Dutch Reformed Church in 1692. The English referred to him as Hendrick Peters or King Hendrick.

paragraph: At some point, "Theyanoguin" resettled at Canajoharie, one of two major Mohawk towns by the early 18th century. Both were located on the south side of the Mohawk River. European colonists referred to it as the "Upper Castle", in the Mohawk River valley upriver and west of Schenectady. Theyanoguin became a chief of the Mohawk Bear clan and would have participated in the Mohawk Council. He was not one of the fifty League sachems of the Iroquois Grand Council, made up of representatives of the Five Nations (six, after the Tuscarora were admitted in 1722).

paragraph: Theyanoguin worked to continue the alliance with the English to preserve Mohawk and Iroquois interests in New York. They depended more on diplomacy than warfare, and tried to preserve neutrality during the English-French rivalries and conflicts of the colonial years.

paragraph: During the French and Indian War (the North American theater of the Seven Years' War, 1754-1763), "Theyanoguin" led a group of Mohawk warriors to accompany William Johnson, the British Superintendent of Indian Affairs, through the Hudson Valley in his expedition to Crown Point. In 1753 Theyanoguin made a speech to the governor of New York saying: "Brother, by and by you will expect to see the Nations (the Six Nations of the Iroquois) down here" (i.e. in New York). Contemporary newspapers and broadsheets made much of the fear of this threat.

paragraph: Theyanoguin was killed at the Battle of Lake George on September 8, 1755, on a mission to stop the southern advance of the French army; he was bayonetted after his horse was shot dead.

paragraph: Sir William Johnson established an Anglican mission in Canajoharie in 1769, when he paid for the Indian Castle Church to be built nearby. This was several years before the American Revolutionary War. Today it has been designated as part of the Mohawk Upper Castle Historic District, a National Historic Landmark. A mission was established earlier in the century at Fort Schuyler, built on Schoharie Creek near the other primary Mohawk village of

paragraph: Mo Ling

paragraph: Saint Mo Ling (614–697), also named Moling Luachra, was the second Bishop of Ferns in Ireland and has been said to be "one of the four great prophets of Erin". He founded a monastery at St Mullin's, County Carlow. His feast day is 17 June.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: According to a manuscript in the Royal Library, Brussels, Mo Ling was descended from Cathaoir Mór, King of Leinster. He is said to have been the illegitimate son of a wealthy landholder called Faelán the Fair, son of Feradach, and of Faelán's sister-in-law, Émnait. Ashamed of the pregnancy, Émnait fled home, traveling by night. She arrived at Sliabh Luachra in the midst of winter when the snow was said to be so deep that it reached men's shoulders. She gave birth to a son in the snow, whereupon a company of angels arrived and melted the snow around the child for thirty feet on every side.

paragraph: Émnait intended to kill the child but a white dove spread its wings around the baby, keeping him warm and protecting him from attack throughout the night. They were found the next morning by monks, who took them in and baptized the child Tairchell. When Tairchell was about sixteen years of age, he encountered a family of spectres on the road, but managed to escape by means of three fantastic leaps. The monk Collanach then gave him the name Mo Ling ('ling' meaning 'leap').

paragraph: There is a tradition that Mo Ling is Saint Myllin, who travelled to Wales, baptised people at the holy well in Llanfyllin, Powys, and founded the church there.

paragraph: Mo Ling was a monk at Glendalough and went on to become Bishop of Ferns. Bede describes Saint Mo Ling as a "good and wise man, excellently versed in the knowledge of the Scriptures". He died in 697 and is buried at St. Mullin's.

paragraph: Section::::St. Moling's Monastery.

paragraph: Saint Moling founded a monastery on the River Barrow. The monastery was said to have been built with the help of Gobán Saor, the legendary Irish builder. Over time a settlement grew up around it.

paragraph: It is said that St Mo Ling established a mill there and dug a mile-long watercourse with his own hands to power it, He is reputed to have been the first person to introduce rye into Ireland. He helped his people by distributing corn and meal during a particularly inclement summer. St. Mo Ling was a skilled boatman, passing quickly up the river Barrow to visit his friend Saint Laserian at Leighlin.

paragraph: St. Mo Ling is linked with the folkloric character Suibhne Geilt [Mad Sweeney]. It is related that Suibhne Geilt, who went mad at the Battle of Moira (Mag Rath) in A.D. 634, afterwards travelled to Teach Moling. He was murdered there by Mongán, Saint Moling's swineherd. He was buried with great honour within the church by its founder and patron.

paragraph: The original monastery was plundered by the Vikings around 824 and again in 951. An abbey was later built on the site. A 9th century high cross, showing the Crucifixion and a Celtic spiral pattern, stands outside the remains of the abbey. In a small square enclosure in the graveyard at St. Mullins is a stone altar with an arch overhead, where, according to tradition, Mass used to be celebrated in penal times. The churchyard lies in the shadow of an Anglo-Norman motte and contains a collection of eighteenth and nineteenth-century gravestones. During penal times, Mass was said in the structure in the graveyard. Over the altar is an aperture through which a warning could be communicated to the priest from a watcher positioned on the motte.

paragraph: The first reference to a holy well at St. Mullins is to be found in the Annals of Friar Clyn (1348). In those times, the plague swept across Ireland and pilgrims visited the holy well in St. Mullins out of fear of the plague. They would circle the well in a clockwise direction, known as circumambulation, while reciting prayers. During the 19th century a pilgrimage to St Moling's well would take place twice a year on 17 June and 25 July. The well house was used for bathing children suffering from a variety of diseases.

paragraph: Section::::Veneration.

paragraph: A pattern day is a day when people come together to perform pilgrimage at a holy well or at a saint's grave, usually on the saint's feast day, a tradition that can be traced back to early medieval times. Nineteenth-century accounts suggest there were originally two main pilgrimage days at St Mullins: the feast of St Moling on 17 June and the feast of St James on 25 July. Today the Patron or Pattern Day is held on the Sunday before 25 July. On 25 July prayers are said at St Moling's well and in the graveyard.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The town of Monamolin in County Wexford is named after him, as is the parish church in Ballycanew. Mullinakill, Co. Kilkenny; Timolin, Co. Kildare; Monamolin, Co. Wexford and St. Mullins, Co. Carlow, as well as St. Moling’s Wells, such as the one at Brosna, Co. Kerry are also named after him.

paragraph: Many churches were founded by Mo Ling, the most famous being St. Mullin's in County Carlow. Mo Ling dedicated a holy well at Ferns known as Maodhóg's Well in memory of St. Aidan, or Saint Maodhóg, the Patron Saint of the Diocese of Ferns.

paragraph: According to the Annals of Ulster, Mo Ling died in 697 AD and his feast day is celebrated on 17 June. The Patron Day takes place in Monamolin on the Sunday closest to this date.

paragraph: John O'Donovan in his Ordnance Survey Letters of 1840 tells a story of Mo Ling crossing a small hill when an evil spirit annoyed him. He knelt on a rock to curse the spirit, leaving the impression of his knees on the stone. While there is no account of the stone today, it is said that the incident gave the name to the townland of "Cloch na Mallacht" (meaning "the stones of the curses").

paragraph: Marie I, Countess of Boulogne

paragraph: Marie I or Mary (1136 – 25 July 1182 in St Austrebert, Montreuil, France) was the "suo jure" Countess of Boulogne from 1159 to 1170. She also held the post of Abbess of Romsey for five years until her abduction by Matthew of Alsace, who forced her to marry him.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Marie was the youngest daughter of King Stephen of England and his wife Matilda I, Countess of Boulogne. She was born in 1136, one year after her father had succeeded to the English throne. His reign was to be marked by the civil war known as "The Anarchy" during which he fought a series of battles to retain the crown which was claimed by his cousin Empress Matilda. Marie had three brothers, Eustace, William, Baldwin, and one sister, Matilda.

paragraph: Section::::Abbess.

paragraph: Marie became a novice at the Priory of Lillechurch in Kent, but later transferred to Romsey Abbey in Hampshire. The abbey had been rebuilt by her uncle Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester. It was at Romsey that she became a nun sometime between 1148 and 1155. She was elected Abbess of Romsey in 1155, the year following her father's death and the subsequent ascension to the English throne of Empress Matilda's son Henry II.

paragraph: About four years later, on 11 October 1159, her brother William died in Toulouse. As his marriage to Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Surrey had been childless, Marie, his only surviving sibling, succeeded as the "suo jure" Countess of Boulogne.

paragraph: Section::::Countess of Boulogne.

paragraph: Matthew of Alsace abducted Marie from the abbey in 1160, and forced her to marry him in defiance of her religious vows. He therefore became "jure uxoris" Count of Boulogne and co-ruler. On 18 December 1161, Pope Alexander III wrote a letter to the Archbishop of Rheims in which he discussed Marie's abduction by Matthew of Alsace and her subsequent constrained marriage. The couple had two daughters.

paragraph: Marie's marriage to Matthew was annulled in 1170. This was the same year that she gave birth to their younger daughter, Mathilde in Louvain.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Following the annulment, Marie re-entered the religious life as a Benedictine nun at St. Austrebert, Montreuil, where she died on 25 July 1182 at the age of about 46. Her former husband Matthew continued to reign as Count of Boulogne until his death in 1173, when their eldest daughter Ida succeeded as countess. Following the death of Ida's daughter, Matilda II, the county of Boulogne eventually passed to Adelaide of Brabant, daughter of Marie's second daughter, Mathilde.

paragraph: Section::::Issue.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Ida, Countess of Boulogne (1160/1161 – 21 April 1216), married firstly Gerard of Guelders; secondly Berthold IV of Zahringen; and thirdly Count Renaud de Dammartin, by whom she had one daughter, Matilda II of Boulogne, who succeeded her as countess.

paragraph: Pasquale Romanelli

paragraph: Pasquale Romanelli (28 May 1812 – 11 February 1887) was an Italian sculptor, apprentice of Lorenzo Bartolini.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Born in Florence in 1812 to Luigi Romanelli and Beatrice Chelazzi. At a young age he was orphaned from his mother. Pasquale married Elisa Mangoni, and together they had 6 children. His son Raffaello Romanelli and grand-son Romano Romanelli were also sculptors.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Pasquale entered an apprenticeship in a studio producing alabaster sculptures, studying in his free time. Alabaster, or Castellina marble, is softer to carve than usual marble, thus often used by those in training. When he was barely fifteen years old, he became an apprentice in the studio of Luigi Pampaloni, in Piazza San Marco, who trained him sculpting Carrara statuary marble. He was quickly promoted to assisting the master in the carving of the statues of Arnolfo di Cambio and of Filippo Brunelleschi, now placed in the Piazza del Duomo in Florence.

paragraph: Pasquale then was invited to work in the studio of Lorenzo Bartolini, professor of sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, and to attend his courses at the academy. He became Bartolini’s most gifted pupil and certain commissions were passed-on to him. Pasquale worked on the statue of Francesco Ferrucci (1847), which was then placed in an alcove of the loggiato of the Uffizi Gallery in Piazza della Signoria. He soon opened a studio of his own.

paragraph: Section::::First exhibition.

paragraph: In 1840 Pasquale exhibited his first personal work entitled "The Son of William Tell". The sculpture alluded to the popular desire for Italian independence. It met with such success that it was subsequently given a prize at the New York Exhibition of 1854 and also at the 1861 first Great Italian exhibition which followed the Unification of Italy in 1860. The statue was bought by Italian king S.M. Vittorio Emanuele II.

paragraph: Section::::As patriot.

paragraph: A young Pasquale joined the revolutionary groups Giovine Italia that urged the independence from the Austrians. He enrolled in the volunteer army of 1848, but by 1849 he was forced to go into hiding in the wild countryside of Maremma. It was not until calm reigned again in 1850 that he was able to return to Florence to continue with sculpting.

paragraph: Section::::Bartolini's legacy.

paragraph: In that same year Lorenzo Bartolini died, Pasquale acquired the studio in Borgo San Frediano and he was entrusted with completing several of Bartolini’s great monuments that were unfinished at the time his death. The first of which was to transform the plaster of "Fiducia in Dio" into a marble, which now resides in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.

paragraph: Pasquale created the portrait bust for a funeral monument of Bartolini in the Basilica of Santa Croce in 1858. He had already made several marble portraits of his master during his time as his pupil, one of which was exhibited in the Poldi-Pezzoli Museum in Milan and another in the Palazzo Pitti, in Florence and in the Florence’s Gallery of Modern Art in 1845. It is thought that he continued to transform Bartolini’s plaster models into marble up until the 70s. The most important commission that Romanelli won was to complete on Bartolini’s design for the immense monument to Prince Nicolai Demidoff, a complex work with many figures beside the Prince. It was unveiled at the end of the year 1871.

paragraph: Section::::Later years.

paragraph: In the meantime Pasquale also focused on his own works, creating "The Genius of Italy" (1853) and "Italy Deluded", both exhibited in Paris in 1855, but the pre-unification mood of Italy had made them too politically sensitive to exhibit them until 1859. In fact the "Genius of Italy" arrived in Paris with its legs broken. The statue had been vandalized by Pasquale’s enemies and Pasquale subsequently refused to sell it at any price so it has remains in the possession of his descendants at the Galleria Romanelli to this day. In 1861 Pasquale completed a sculptural group the "Sons of Mrs Whyte" as well as the "Nymph of the Arno".

paragraph: After Italian unification in 1861, Florence briefly became the capital and commissions increased. Pasquale received numerous commissions from America and from England. He opened an art gallery on the where completed works could be sold directly to the public. In 1863, he made the monument dedicated to Fossombroni at Arezzo, in 1864 the monument dedicated to Count Alessandro Masi for the Certosa of Ferrara. In 1868 he was appointed professor of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts, Florence.

paragraph: Among his works were "The Boy Washington", bought by Prince Amedeo of Savoy, portraits of king Vittorio Emanuele II, of Prince Albert, the consort of H.M. Queen Victoria. He also made two portraits of Bartolini on show at the Galleria Romanelli, one was made for the monument erected on Bartolini's tomb in the Church of Santa Croce.

paragraph: Pasquale Romanelli is buried in Cimitero delle Porte Sante in Florence. His grave is marked with a bronze sculpture (1887) by his son, Raffaelo.

paragraph: Ragnall ua Ímair, King of Waterford

paragraph: Ragnall ua Ímair (died 1035), also known as Ragnall mac Ragnaill, was an eleventh-century King of Waterford. He appears to have ruled as king from 1022 to 1035, the year of his death.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Ragnall seems to have been a descendant of Ímar, King of Waterford (died 1000). Ragnall's father may have been Ragnall mac Ímair, King of Waterford (died 1018). Such a relationship would indicate that the patronym "ua Ímair"—accorded to Ragnall by the Irish Annals that note his death—refers to Ragnall mac Ímair's father, the aforesaid Ímar.

paragraph: Section::::Reign and Death.

paragraph: Very little is known of the Waterfordian kingship in the early eleventh century. Ímar died in 1000. His son, the aforesaid Ragnall mac Ímair, died as king in 1018. Another son of Ímar, Sitriuc mac Ímair, King of Waterford was slain by the King of Osraige in 1022. An apparent brother of Ragnall died in 1015. Ragnall himself appears to have ruled Waterford from 1022 to 1035. The "Annals of the Four Masters", the "Annals of Tigernach", and the "Annals of Ulster" reveal that, in 1035, Ragnall was slain by Sitriuc mac Amlaíb, King of Dublin (died 1042).

paragraph: The following year, Sitriuc mac Amlaíb was driven out of Dublin by Echmarcach mac Ragnaill (died 1064/1065). Whilst the parentage of the latter is uncertain, if he was a related to Ragnall—perhaps as either a brother or son—it could mean that Echmarcach's actions against Sitriuc mac Amlaíb were undertaken in revenge for his death. Against this possibility is the fact that there is no evidence that Echmarcach, or his known family, had any connection with Waterford. Whatever the case, Ragnall's fall appears to have been an important benchmark in Waterford's history, and after this date the enclave increasingly fell prey to the machinations of the Uí Briain and the Uí Cheinnselaig. In fact, two years after the killing, the King of Waterford was Cú Inmain ua Robann (died 1037), an apparent Irishman.

paragraph: Frank Mason (jockey)

paragraph: Frank "Titch" Mason (born Francis Mason, 4 April 1879 – 23 October 1969) was an English jockey who was British jump racing Champion Jockey six times between 1901 and 1907, winning the Grand National in 1905.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born in Liverpool, Mason grew up in nearby Wavertree before moving with his parents to the Wirral. In 1891, he was apprenticed to the riding stables of trainer John Gubbins in Telscombe, Sussex. Aged 14, he rode his first winner at The Curragh in Ireland on 18 April 1893. He was Irish jump racing Champion Jockey in 1900.

paragraph: In Britain, he became one of the top jump jockeys of the era, and was Champion Jockey in 1901 (with 58 winners), 1902 (67 winners), 1904 (54 winners), 1905 (73 winners), 1906 (58 winners) and 1907 (59 winners). He rode five winners in a day on two occasions, at Lingfield in 1903 and Manchester in 1905. Also in 1905, he was paid £300 not to ride for two weeks before the Grand National, to ensure that he would be fit and free of injury. Riding on Kirkland, he won the race by three lengths. He also won the Grand Sefton Chase at Aintree on three occasions (1898, 1902, 1908), the Stanley Chase (1899), the Champion Chase (1902), the Lancashire Chase (1905), the Imperial Cup (1910), and the Welsh Grand National (1910). He retired in 1913, but returned to the saddle in 1919, winning the Liverpool Hurdle. He broke his leg in a fall later that year, ending his career. In all he rode more than 720 winners.

paragraph: After retiring, he lived at Moreton on the Wirral in a house named "Kirkland" after his Grand National winner. He invested some of his winnings in building many of the shop premises around Moreton Cross, adding the names of some of his winning horses to the frontages. He died at Moreton in 1969, aged 90. The following year, his daughter scattered his ashes at the start of the Grand National course at Aintree, in the presence of the owner, Mirabel Topham.

paragraph: Jahangir Mirza (Timurid prince)

paragraph: Ghiyas-ud-din Jahangir Mirza (1356 – 1376) () was a member of the Timurid dynasty and a son of its founder, the Central Asian conqueror Timur. He was Timur's favourite son and served as one of his military commanders, as well as his heir apparent. However, Jahangir died in 1376, predeceasing his father by almost thirty years.

paragraph: Section::::Birth.

paragraph: Jahangir was one of four sons of Timur who survived infancy and the only one born of a free wife. His mother Turmish Agha also gave birth to two other children; Jahanshah, who died young and a daughter, Aka Biki, who was the mother of Sultan Husayn Tayichiud.

paragraph: There is some disagreement regarding whether Jahangir or his brother Umar Shaikh was the eldest of Timur's sons. The "Mu’izz al-Ansab" (The Glorifier of Genealogies), the most important source regarding the structure of the Timurid royal family during this period, is contradictory on this point. It states that Jahangir was the eldest, but the family of Umar Shaikh is presented first in the genealogy itself, implying that the latter was born first. Narrative sources, such as the Zafarnama by Nizam-ud-din Shami, and Yazdi's book of the same name support the notion that Jahangir was younger.

paragraph: Section::::War with Moghulistan.

paragraph: Following the death of Tughlugh Timur, the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, control of the eastern half of his territory (an area termed Moghulistan) was seized by a noble named Qamar-ud-din Dughlat. Taking advantage of the disorder, Timur, who had already conquered the western half of the khanate, led an expedition against Dughlat in 1370. By 1375, Dughlat was in continual retreat from Timur and had sheltered in the Kök-tepe Mountains. Jahangir was sent to pursue the noble through the narrow gorges between the peaks, defeating various Mongol detachments in the region along the way. Though Dughlat himself eluded capture, Jahangir was able to capture his wife, Tuman Agha, and daughter, Dilshad Agha. The latter of the two was married to Timur soon after.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: In 1372, Timur launched an invasion of the former Chagatai territory of Khorasan, then under the control of the Sufi dynasty. Though initially defiant, the ruler of the kingdom, Yusuf Sufi, eventually submitted and offered his niece Khanzada Begum in marriage to Jahangir. Khanzada was the daughter of Yusuf's brother Aq Sufi by Shakar Beg, a daughter of Jani Beg, Khan of the Golden Horde.

paragraph: The following year, Khanzada was sent to Timur's capital of Samarqand with a large procession carrying gifts, including gems, precious metals, silks and tapestries. She was escorted by a retinue of handmaidens and mounted soldiers, while she herself rode veiled on a white camel.

paragraph: Jahangir had a son and a daughter by this marriage, Muhammad Sultan Mirza and Yadigar Sultan.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Jahangir died of illness two years after his marriage in 1376. Timur was reportedly inconsolable by his son's death, which caused a hiatus in his otherwise continuous military campaigns. Yazdi states that "Everything then became melancholy and disagreeable to him and his cheeks were almost always bathed in tears; he clothed himself with mourning, and his life became uneasy to him. The whole kingdom, which used to be overjoyed at the arrival of this great emperor, was turned into a place of sorrow and weeping."

paragraph: He was buried in a tall edifice termed the "Tomb of Jahangir", part of the Dorussaodat mausoleum complex in modern-day Shahrisabz. Presently, the tomb is the best surviving part of the structure.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Jahangir had six children by three wives:

paragraph: Gabby O'Connor

paragraph: Gabby O'Connor (born 1974, Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian Installation Artist based in Wellington, New Zealand.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: O'Connor's art practice involves production of site-specific works in paper, rope and light, as well as drawing and theatre-based collaboration. The works are typically large-scale and designed to fit into the location. Typically she works by transforming everyday materials into art. O’Connor often works collaboratively with partners ranging from scientists to community groups. Her works are designed to exist as installations in their own right, and also act as a bridge between art and science. A consequence is there is often an explicit educational component of the art production.

paragraph: She has participated in two scientific expeditions to Antarctica where she produced art pieces in situ. The science was conducted by the K131 research team from National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research and the University of Otago. The work was based out of Cape Haskell, a sea ice camp on the Sea ice of McMurdo Sound. This camp was designed and built by Tim Haskell and included a dedicated art laboratory built from an insulated Intermodal container.

paragraph: Works from her 2015 expedition were subsequently displayed at Pataka Art + Museum in a 2016 exhibition titled Studio Antarctica. The second expedition resulted in an exhibition at the Otago Museum titled Data Days.

paragraph: In 2018 she commenced a Ph.D. project (University of Auckland Faculty of Creative Arts and Industries that is part of the New Zealand Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. This work marked a change in her focus from Antarctica to issues relating to sea level rise and involved development of rope-based sculpture. It resulted in "The Unseen" an exhibition at the Suter Gallery in Nelson.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: O'Connor was awarded a Master of Fine Art degree from UNSW Art & Design in 2004. This followed a Certificate of Textile Design from RMIT School of Design TAFE (1998) and a Bacherlor of Fine Arts from the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne (1996).

paragraph: Émile Hamonic

paragraph: Émile Eugène Louis Hamonic (1861–1943) was a French photographer and publisher, associated with the picture-postcard boom of the early 20th century. He established himself as a publisher of picture postcards in Saint-Brieuc in 1893, becoming one of the first great editors of this genre.

paragraph: His cards typically presented idealised images of his native Brittany. He was also a committed supporter of Breton regionalism, and was an active member of the Breton Regionalist Union.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born on August 26, 1861 at Moncontour in Côtes-du-Nord. One of nine children. Hamonic's family operated a hardware store and bought and sold antiques. His parents took him along on their buying-trips into the surrounding countryside and he became a passionate lover of the brand new velocipede bicycle. He was apprenticed to a photographer in Dinard, and after his military service, he established himself as a professional photographer in Moncontour, later moving to Saint-Brieuc.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Postcards.

paragraph: Hamonic was one of the first to recognise the development of the picture postcard to France. To provide an outlet for photographers and painters like him, he founded the "Éditions d'art Hamonic" in Saint-Brieuc. His company was a tremendous success, exploiting the popularity of picturesque images of Brittany for tourists, which were abundant in the summer months. These postcards are usually signed "Hamonic", or, rarely, "E.H.".

paragraph: He is particularly associated with Théodore Botrel, often reproducing on his cards the lyrics of the popular singer-songwriter. Several of Botrel's ballads were illustrated postcard-sequences, in which the stories told in the songs were acted out in a series of dramatic tableaux. He also produced a number of publicity images of Botrel with his wife Léna.

paragraph: From 1906 to 1909, he published the pictures of Jean-Marie Le Doaré. These cards are signed "Hamonic, the Doaré cliché".

paragraph: In 1922, affected by illness, he retired, leaving his business to his son Amaury.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Bretonism.

paragraph: Hamonic was one of the first members of the Breton Regionalist Union, founded in 1898. He actively promoted Breton regionalist identity in his publications. He also helped to develop the pan-Celticist movement, attending the Celtic Congress of Caernarfon in 1904. In July 1906 he was one of the organizers, with Octave-Louis Aubert, of a pan-Celticist historical festival held in Saint-Brieuc. He was made an honorary bard of the Gorsedd of Brittany.
