paragraph: Caranus of Macedon

paragraph: Caranus or Karanos () was the first king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon according to later traditions. According to Herodotus, however, the first king was Perdiccas I. Caranus is first reported by Theopompus and is the mythical founder of the Argead dynasty.

paragraph: Section::::Myth.

paragraph: According to a Greek myth, Caranus was the son of Temenus, king of Argos, who in turn was a Heraclid, a descendant of Heracles. Plutarch agrees on the Heraclid lineage of Caranus and argues that Alexander the Great is a descendant of Heracles through Caranus. Temenus, along with Cresphontes and Aristodemus were the three Doric leaders who invaded the Mycenean Peloponnese region. Then they proceeded to divide the conquered territories between them. Cresphontes was given Messenia and Sparta; Aristodemus took Laconia; and finally Temenus was given Argos. Following the death of Temenus, the princes argued about who should be king. One of them, Pheidon, defeated his brothers in battle and took over the kingship. Caranus then decided to find another kingdom of his own, where he could be king. First, however he went to the Oracle of Delphi to ask Pythia's advice. "You should find your kingdom there, where you will find plenty of game and domestic animals, she advised." Thus Caranus and his entourage moved to the North, in search of suitable land to establish his new kingdom. Finally, he discovered a green valley, with a lot of game and goats, whereupon he thought that the prophecy of Pythia had been fulfilled. Thus he built a city there, which he named "Aigai" (), present day Vergina, a site of substantial archaeological activity, as numerous important findings have been unearthed.

paragraph: Tim Powles

paragraph: Timothy Guy Gerard Powles (born 21 December 1959) is a New Zealand music producer and artist. Also known as "timEbandit" Powles, his main instrument and first love was the drums and percussion in general, though over time he's become a dab hand on a medium-sized pile of instruments and gadgets, not to mention the studio itself- and virtual instruments as they occur.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Powles started his music career at Nelson College, which he attended from 1973 to 1977. He subsequently moved to Wellington and then Auckland to join the band Flight X-7. In the 1970s he won a scholarship to join the New Zealand Youth Orchestra in a training camp in Cambridge. His interest in both classical and rock orchestrations and ambience has continued throughout his career, and was instrumental in his becoming the drummer with the Australian-formed band The Church, with whom he was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of FAME in October 2010, coinciding with the band's 30 year anniversary celebrations and touring.

paragraph: Powles eventually moved to Australia in 1981 where he first became known in 1980s' band The Venetians. With this band in particular through the 1980s he learned his production skills working alongside greats like Vic Coppersmith-Heaven and Mark Goldenberg, and locals Mark Opitz and Mark Moffat, often in the Festival Records Studios.

paragraph: Section::::The Church.

paragraph: He started working with The Church in 1994, with the album "Sometime Anywhere" (though he was misidentified as "Tim Powell" on the liner notes of that album). He became a permanent member of the band in the year following. He sings the lead vocal on the track "Take Your Place" on The Church album "Pharmakoi/Distance Crunching Honchos with Echo Units" (1996, as "The Refo:mation", Phantom Records) and has worked on all of their many releases since then, as a musician and composer, and taking production responsibilities on all levels. A highlight of these responsibilities was Powles' co-directing and co-producing "A Psychedelic Symphony" - The Church and the George Ellis Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House, a sold-out show in April 2011. He produced the band's 25th album "Further/Deeper" in 2014, and th band toured that album extensively thru Europe and USA 2015 and 2016.

paragraph: Section::::Production work.

paragraph: Powles resides in Sydney, Australia and has his own recording studio; the current version is called Spacejunk III. Amongst others, timEbandit has produced albums/EPs/ singles of varying genres and styles for Skulker (debut), Switchkicker (debut), The Camels (debut), Regular John (he was ARIA-nominated for Producer of the Year for their debut album in 2009 - and then produced the follow up "Strange fFowers" ; Jack River (Holly Rankin project); Hammock "Departure Songs" (double album, mixed in Nashville); The Khanz (numerous singles and 2 EPs); Iota and the Beauty Queens; Laura Imbruglia (debut album); Winters Wish, Montpelier, The Faults... (a constantly growing and always eclectic list).

paragraph: Powles's official website is www.spacejunk.biz.

paragraph: He released a solo album, "Tyg's in Space" (on Spacejunk' thru Phantom Records), in 1999.

paragraph: Currently he is working on multiple solo collaborations for imminent release. He features with a cameo vocal on Nashville post-rock ambient band Hammock's recent EP "Asleep In The Downlights", a band whose most recent albums he has co-produced and/or mixed.

paragraph: Section::::Spacejunk Production House.

paragraph: "Combined with a reputation as one of Australia's most solid and diversely experienced drummers (The Church, The Divinyls, Rose Tattoo, Dragon, The Venetians, to name a few), this massive depth of experience makes Tim a 'big picture' producer in the true 'A&R' sense of the word. Allowing instinct and 'accident' to flourish and thrive are key ingredients on Tim's production canvas."

paragraph: Sir John D'Oyly, 1st Baronet, of Kandy

paragraph: Sir John D'Oyly, 1st Baronet (6 June 1774 – 25 May 1824) was a British colonial administrator.

paragraph: He was the second son of Matthias D'Oyly, Archdeacon of Hastings and his wife Mary. He was educated at Westminster School and graduated from Cambridge University in 1796.

paragraph: He went out to Ceylon in 1801, initially as a writer in the civil service and then as President of various provincial courts. He mastered the Sinhalese language and in 1805 was appointed Government chief translator. In 1806 he became Agent of Revenue for the District of Colombo and in 1814, Civil Auditor-General for Ceylon.

paragraph: D'Oyly had a key role in arranging for the British takeover of the Kandyan kingdom in 1815. Being fluent in Sinhala, he was the intermediary between the British Governor and the disaffected Kandyan chiefs who were intriguing to "sell out" the king, Sri Vikrama Rajasinha. D'Oyly is credited with drafting the Kandyan Convention of March 2, 1815 which set out the terms of the accession.

paragraph: He was created a baronet in 1821 and chose to stay in Kandy, eventually dying there in 1824. A Briton who visited Kandy before 1815 had described him as living like a "Cingalese hermit". His earlier association with a woman poet, Gajaman Nona, in Matara led to some speculation.

paragraph: He died in 1824 and was buried in Garrison Cemetery, Kandy.

paragraph: Debates

paragraph: Even though some describes D'Oyly as a someone who has done an immense work to develop Sri Lanka (Ceylon at that time), modern day academians challenge that view after considering some historical data.

paragraph: In his book, The doomed king, princeton professor Gananatha Obesekara suggests that D'Oyly is a political hitman. However, Professor Obeysekara further mentions that D'Oyly was only doing his job as a British civil servant in Sri Lanka.

paragraph: Nicholas II, Duke of Opava

paragraph: Nicholas II of Opava (also: "Nicholas II of Troppau", "Nicholas II of Ratibór"; ; 1288 – 8 December 1365) was Duke of Opava () from 1318 to 1365 and Duke of Ratibór from 1337 to 1365 and Burgrave of Kladsko () from 1350 to 1365 and also chamberlain of the Kingdom of Bohemia.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Nicholas II of Opava was a member of the Opava branch of the Bohemian noble Přemyslovci family. His parents were Duke Nicholas I of Opava, who had held Opava since 1269, and Adelheid of Habsburg, a niece of King Rudolf I. He was a supporter of King John of Luxembourg of Bohemia, who gave him Opava as a fief in 1318 and at the same time raised it to an independent duchy. He moved the ducal residence from Hradec nad Moravicí () to Opava (). Also in 1318, he married with Anna, the only sister of Duke Leszek of Ratibór. Since Leszek left no offspring, the Duchy of Ratibór reverted to the Bohemian Crown after Leszek death in 1336. King John gave it to his loyal vassal Nicholas II in 1337. With his dual power base in Opava and Ratibór, Nicholas became one of the most powerful princes in the upper Oder area. With the acquisition by Nicholas, Ratibór came under a foreign ruler and due to the personal union, Opava became more oriented towards Silesia. In 1337, the princes of Opole also claimed Ratibór; King John sold them the Moravian town of Prudnik () instead. In a document dated 1350, Nicholas II is mentioned as Burgrave of Kłodzko. In 1355 he had to give up Koźle and Gliwice, which had been transferred to Duke Leszek.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and issue.

paragraph: Nicholas was married three times.

paragraph: Around 1318 he married Anna of Racibórz (died around 1340), a daughter of Duke Przemysław of Racibórz. Several children resulted from this marriage:

paragraph: Hugh Pollard (Sheriff)

paragraph: Sir Hugh I Pollard (fl. 1536, 1545) lord of the manor of King's Nympton in Devon, was Sheriff of Devon in 1535/6 and in 1545 was appointed Recorder of Barnstaple in Devon.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: He was the eldest son and heir of Sir Lewis Pollard (c.1465–1526) of King's Nympton, a Justice of the Common Pleas from 1514 to 1526 and Member of Parliament for Totnes in 1491. Hugh's mother was Agnes Hext, daughter of Thomas Hext, a prominent lawyer of Kingston in the parish of Staverton, near Totnes, by his wife Florence Bonville. Westcote stated her to be the heiress of Dunisford (or Donesford). The Pollard family were first established in Devon before the 13th century at the manor of Way in the parish of St Giles in the Wood, near Great Torrington.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.:Brother.

paragraph: Hugh's younger brother was the more prominent Sir Richard Pollard (1505–1542), MP for Taunton (1536) and for Devon (1539, 1542), of Putney, Surrey, King's Remembrancer of the Exchequer and a law reporter, who was an assistant of Thomas Cromwell in administering the surrender of religious houses following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. In 1537 Thomas was granted by King Henry VIII the manor of Combe Martin in Devon and in 1540 Forde Abbey.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: He was Recorder of Barnstaple in 1545, to which honorary officer the Borough of Barnstaple entrusted the nominations of its two Member of Parliament. One of the MP's he nominated was George Rolle (d.1552), a London lawyer, who in 1523 had been appointed by a private Act of Parliament as life tenant of the office of "Keeper of the Writs and Rolls of the Court of Common Pleas", due to his "long good and perfect knowledge and experience" of the functioning of that Court. Rolle was thus an associate of Sir Hugh's father, Sir Lewis I Pollard, one of the Judges of the Common Pleas. It was in the small Devonshire parish of St Giles in the Wood, the ancestral home of the Pollards, where Rolle purchased his seat of Stevenstone, which eventually at the start of the 20th century became the "caput" of "the largest estate Devon had ever seen", today managed by the Clinton Devon Estates company.

paragraph: Through the influence of his younger brother Sir Richard Pollard he obtained the wardship of Richard Bury (1516–1543), son and heir of John Bury (d.1533) lord of the manor of Colleton in the parish of Chulmleigh, Devon, whom he married to his daughter Elizabeth Pollard. Richard Pollard obtained as his own wife John Bury's daughter Jacquetta, as promised him in her father's will.

paragraph: In 1539 Hugh I Pollard acquired a 21-year lease of the site and demesne of Torre Abbey at the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and in 1543 acquired the freehold from John St. Leger (d.1596) of Annery.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: He married twice:

paragraph: Valentin Bousch

paragraph: Valentin Bousch (circa 1490 – August 1541) was a Renaissance stained glass glazier and painter from Strasbourg, active in the Duchy of Lorraine and the Republic of Metz. A rarity among stained glass artists, Bousch is seen as one who actively sought to express new ideas in his art, often before they were widely used in the area, revising his method even from one window to the next, to create striking Renaissance effects and a personal style.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Bousch was born in Strasbourg. The earliest mention of his work is at Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, near Nancy in 1514. Bousch was active there from 1514 to 1520, developed a large glass studio and made many windows for the Saint Nicolas basilica. In 1518 he also made windows for the priory church of Varangéville on a command of the Bishop of Metz, John IV of Lorraine. On 25 September 1518, Valentin Bousch became the master glazier of the cathedral of Metz, where most work was done in the years 1520-1528, and 1534-1539. In between, he made a cycle of biblical scenes for the Saint-Firmin priory church in Flavigny-sur-Moselle. A number of documents relating to Bousch, including his will are at the Bibliothèque municipale de Nancy.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Examples of his skills are still in place in the Saint-Nicolas-de-Port Basilica, and the Metz Cathedral. In addition, Bousch made several stained glass windows commissioned by the bourgeoisie of Metz for churches, hotels and chapels in the Lorraine countryside. A work attributed to his pupil, from 1548, is in the church of Saint Marcel, Ennery, Moselle.

paragraph: Section::::Work.:Saint-Nicolas-de-Port.

paragraph: In Saint-Nicolas-de-Port, much of the glass had not survived the Thirty Years' War and later events, and other parts are rearranged. Yet Bousch is attributed with the great rose window, and some windows, in full or part, in the small chapels. The repetitions, as well as some uncertain attributions, are explained by the fact that works were mostly commissioned by donors, and were no part of an overall design of the church.

paragraph: In the Chapelle Notre Dame des Victoires: The Dormition of Mary, her funeral and her Assumption; and in another window, the Presentation of Mary, the Visitation and the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. In the Chapelle Saint Anne: possibly a window with the Annunciation and Saint Barbara, and another with church donors, coats of arms and Adrian of Nicomedia. In the Chapelle des saints archanges Michel, Raphaël et Gabriel – only parts. In the Chapelle Saint Vincent et Saint Fiacre, two renditions of Saint George and the Dragon, a mounted Martin of Tours giving his cloak, and a Catherine of Alexandria, in windows shared with other artists.

paragraph: Two greater windows, are dedicated one to Saint Sebastian and other characters, the other mostly to the Transfiguration of Jesus, witnessed by a circle with Moses, Elijah, Saint Peter and others.

paragraph: Section::::Work.:Metz.

paragraph: In Metz Bousch made most of the stained glasses of the choir and south transept.

paragraph: Section::::Work.:Flavigny-sur-Moselle.

paragraph: The windows from Flavigny-sur-Moselle show Bousch's mature style. Out of a cycle of seven, three were lost by 1850, and four were sold in 1904 by the priory and are dispersed in North America. Two are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (along with four smaller pieces), one in St. Joseph church, Stockbridge, Massachusetts and one in a private collection in Canada.

paragraph: Section::::Technique.

paragraph: As a glazier, Bousch produced large cuts of glass that were technically difficult to make, and allowed greater freedom in painting. Bousch's glasses were designed to keep each window's net of lead reinforcement lines along the picture's painted contours, so they will not interrupt the scene. At times, obvious lead lines were incorporated to emphasize an object, The more traditional method of placing lead lines in a way that help define panels, or spotlight a person's head, was used as a second choice in Bousch's work.

paragraph: As a painter, Bousch utilized the large glass cuts to present rich arrays of shadows and background details, applying Grisaille color washes in modulation. The luminosity and color of his support medium came into play, as he left the brightest areas in the painting, the least matted surfaces in a glass. Illusionistic details were added to distract a viewer away from lead lines.

paragraph: Section::::Influences.

paragraph: Bousch drew ideas from a number of artistic schools and media, and adapted them to glass painting, which resulted in defying some late gothic characteristics and traditional techniques of the stained glass field. Identified early influences were Rhenish or German Renaissance artists. Some elements from Hans Baldung Grien, and Albrecht Dürer, but also Matthias Grünewald 's Isenheim Altarpiece and the elder Cranach's 1503 "Crucifixion", have been paired each with a parallel detail from Bousch. He most likely studied their works from prints, but probably also knew Baldung Grien, a citizen of Strasbourg, in person. Bousch had his own experience in panel painting.

paragraph: In Bousch's later work, particularly the windows of Flavigny-sur-Moselle, in addition to using these artists' works as models, Bousch introduced many novelties. Gothic decorations like foliage and damask backgrounds were minimized, replaced by neoclassical architectural frames; Generic glass panels gave way to Bousch's more advanced cutting and leading; Halos, to naturalistic light beams. Perspective was nuanced for different emotive ends, objects placed strategically in space and persons arranged in dramatic, purposeful postures, some in daring nudity. These are all signs of another layer of influences on Bousch work, that of Italian Renaissance and Mannerism. However, no direct sources of this phase are known.

paragraph: On a religious dimension, his Flavigny-sur-Moselle work has also been connected with a Catholic prior's relatively sympathetic response to protestant humanist thought; the cycle is interpreted as identifying a history of predestination within the bible.

paragraph: Travis Bean

paragraph: Clifford Travis Bean (21 August 1947 – 10 July 2011, aged 63) was an American luthier and machinist from California.

paragraph: In 1974, he partnered with Marc McElwee and Gary Kramer to start Travis Bean Guitars, which made high-end electric guitars and basses featuring machined aluminum necks. This was an unusual design, departing from more traditional wood necked instruments. The aluminum center section ran through the instrument body, with the pickups directly mounted to the aluminum. The majority of these instruments featured solid koa wood bodies and humbucker pickups. Though praised for their sound, the use of aluminum necks also made Travis Bean guitars heavier than other electric guitars. Models included the Artist, Standard, Wedge (rare), and TB500 (rare) with single coil pickups.

paragraph: Kramer and Bean parted ways in 1975, with the former starting Kramer Guitars. The first series of Kramer guitars were redesigned aluminum-necked instruments but utilizing wooden inserts along the back of the neck to cut down on weight and provide a more traditional feel; these modifications also avoided patent infringement of Travis Bean's original neck design.

paragraph: Around 3,600 guitars and basses were produced between 1974 and 1979.

paragraph: In the late 1990s, Bean teamed with master machinist/designer B. Kelly Condon and produced a run of 24 high end, custom instruments. These guitars and basses were aluminum-neck instruments, each machined from a 125-pound billet of 7075 aluminum. The pans weighed just over 4 pounds when finished and all were serial numbered and identified inside the pan.

paragraph: A documentary called "Sustain" about Travis Bean guitars and the individuals that built these historic instruments and the players that play them (past and present) was reportedly in development in 2009.

paragraph: Publius Aelius Hadrianus Afer

paragraph: Publius Aelius Hadrianus Afer was a distinct and wealthy Roman Senator and soldier who lived in the Roman Empire during the 1st century. Hadrianus Afer was originally from Spain; however, he was of Roman descent. He was born and raised in the grand city of Italica (near modern Seville, Spain) in the Roman Province of Hispania Baetica. He came from a well-established, wealthy and aristocratic family of Praetorian rank. He was the son of the noble Roman woman called Ulpia and his father was a Roman Senator called Publius Aelius Hadrianus Marullinus. Hadrianus Afer’s maternal uncle was the Roman General and Senator Marcus Ulpius Traianus, the father of Ulpia Marciana and her younger brother Emperor Trajan. Ulpia Marciana and Trajan were his maternal cousins.

paragraph: Throughout his life, Hadrianus Afer spent various amounts of his time in Rome. His surname "Afer" is Latin for African. He received the surname "Afer" as a nickname, due to his outstanding service in Mauretania. Hadrianus Afer married Domitia Paulina, a Spanish Roman woman from a distinguished senatorial family who came from Gades (modern Cádiz, Spain). Their children were a daughter, Aelia Domitia Paulina (75–130) and a son, Emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus (76–138). After reaching the praetorship, Afer and his wife died in 86. His son and daughter were put in the guardianship of his cousin Trajan and the Roman officer Publius Acilius Attianus.

paragraph: Naphtali(-)Herz (Hartwig) Wessely, a.k.a. Naphtali(-)Hirz Wessely, also Wesel ( "Vezel"; born 1725, Hamburg – died February 28, 1805, Hamburg), was an 18th-century German Jewish Hebraist and educationist.

paragraph: Section::::Family history.

paragraph: One of Wessely's ancestors, Joseph Reis, fled from Podolia in 1648 on account of the Chmielnicki persecutions, during which his whole family had perished. After a brief sojourn in Cracow, Reis settled in Amsterdam, where he acquired great wealth, and where he, in 1671, was one of the signers of a petition to the Dutch government requesting permission to erect a synagogue. Together with his younger son, Moses (Moses Reis(-)Wessely), Reis later settled in Wesel on the Rhine, whence the family name ""Wessely"" originated. In the synagogue at Wesel are still (as of 1906) preserved some ritual paraphernalia presented to it by Moses Reis Wessely, who, upon the advice of the Prince of Holstein, whose purveyor he was, removed to Glückstadt, then the capital of Sleswick. He established there a factory of arms. King Frederick VI of Denmark later sent Moses to Hamburg as his agent, and while there he transacted important business for Peter the Great also.

paragraph: Moses' son, Issachar Ber Wessely, was the father of Naphtali Hirz.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Naphtali Herz Wessely passed his childhood at Copenhagen, where his father was purveyor to the king. In addition to rabbinical studies under Jonathan Eybeschütz, he studied modern languages. As the representative of the banker Feitel, he later visited Amsterdam, where he published (1765–66) his "Lebanon", or "Gan Na'ul", a philological investigation of Hebrew roots and synonyms. Although prolix in style, and lacking scientific method, this work established his reputation. After his marriage at Copenhagen, he represented Feitel at Berlin, and there became associated with Mendelssohn. Wessely encouraged the latter in his labors by publishing "Alim li-Terufah", a work advocating the "bi'ur" and the translation of the Bible into German. To this work Wessely himself contributed a commentary on Leviticus (Berlin, 1782), having published, two years previously, a Hebrew edition of the Book of Wisdom (?), together with a commentary. He died in Hamburg on February 28, 1805.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Wessely was an advocate of the educational and social reforms outlined in Emperor Joseph II's "Toleranzedict" (Patent of toleration). He even risked his reputation for piety by publishing a manifesto in eight chapters, entitled "Divrei Shalom ve-Emet" (Words of Peace and Truth), in which he emphasized the necessity for secular instruction, as well as for other reforms, even from the points of view of the Mosaic law and the Talmud. This work has been translated into French as "Instructions Salutaires Addressées aux Communautés Juives de l'Empire de Joseph II." (Paris, 1792), into Italian by (Goerz, 1793), and into German by David Friedländer under the title "Worte der Wahrheit und des Friedens" (Berlin, 1798). By thus espousing the cause of reform, as well as by his support of M. Mendelssohn, Wessely incurred the displeasure of the rabbinical authorities of Germany and Poland, who threatened him with excommunication.

paragraph: His enemies, however, were finally pacified through the energetic intervention of the Italian rabbis, as well as by Wessely's pamphlets "Meḳor Ḥen", in which he gave evidence of his sincere piety. In 1788 Wessely published in Berlin his ethical treatise "Sefer ha-Middot" (The Book of Virtues), a work of Musar literature. He also published several odes; elegies, and other poems; but his masterwork is his "Shire Tif'eret" (5 vols.; i.-iv., Berlin, 1782–1802; v., Prague, 1829), describing in rhetorical style the exodus from Egypt. This work, through which he earned the admiration of his contemporaries, was translated into German (by G. F. Hufnagel and Spalding; 1789–1805), and partly into French (by Michel Berr; Paris, 1815). His commentaries on the Bible were published by the society Meḳiẓe Nirdamim (Lyck, 1868–75) under the title "Imre Shefer."

paragraph: Wessely influenced his contemporaries in various directions. As a scholar he contributed, by his profound philological researches, to the reconstruction of the language of the Bible, though his work is marred by prolixity and by his refusal to admit shades of meaning in synonyms. As a poet he possessed perfection of style, but lacked feeling and artistic imagination. No one exerted a greater influence than he on the dissemination of modern Hebrew, and no one, on the other hand, did more to retard the development of pure art and of poetic intuition. Because of his energetic commitment to the cause of Jewish emancipation, Wessely may be regarded as a leader of the Maskilim.

paragraph: Shaun Lopez

paragraph: Shaun Lopez is an American music producer, composer, and musician.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Shaun was born and raised in a suburb of Sacramento, CA. He is a founding member and guitarist for post-hardcore band Far.

paragraph: After a number of local releases, including their first demo tape, "Sweat A River, Live No Lies", and two independent albums "Listening Game" and "Quick", they signed to Epic/Immortal Records and released their major label debut, "Tin Cans With Strings To You".

paragraph: Their second major label LP, "Water & Solutions", was released in 1998. Thanks to the single, "Mother Mary", they attracted a large cult following. The more melodic sound showcased on this album is increasingly cited as an influence on present-day "emo rock" bands(i.e. Thursday, Biffy Clyro, Jimmy Eat World). Certainly, it was a departure from their earlier, much more hardcore sound, though it is still far from the emo-pop that it would quickly come to inspire.

paragraph: After their split in 1999, Lopez briefly played in an early version of Rival Schools, headed by former Quicksand frontman, Walter Schreifels. He also auditioned for a spot in Foo Fighters, a job that was ultimately given to Chris Shiflett of No Use For A Name/Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

paragraph: Shortly thereafter, Shaun picked up the microphone and formed The Revolution Smile, which, after putting out the self-produced "At War with Plastic" EP, and self-produced full-length, "We Are In This Alone", was signed to Geffen Records. In 2003, they released "Above The Noise", which was produced by Shaun and Dave Sardy(producer of Far's "Water & Solutions"), and mixed by Andy Wallace. They toured across United States and Europe, and were featured on Ozzfest and Van's Warped Tour. A third self-produced album entitled "Summer Ever" was released in September 2006.

paragraph: In addition to his production work with The Revolution Smile, he has produced a number of other bands, including Giant Drag, The Black Pacific, and Deftones.

paragraph: In 2009, a Far reunion was announced. Several live shows were played, and an album produced by Lopez was released on May 25, 2010. Their Lopez produced cover of Ginuwine's hit Pony made it to the top 40 in modern rock charts. He has also mixed B-Sides for Deftones forthcoming release, Diamond Eyes.

paragraph: In 2011, Shaun formed ††† (Crosses) with Chuck Doom and Chino Moreno from Deftones. The group played their first shows on a short tour in California, including cities Pomona, San Diego, Sacramento, and San Francisco.

paragraph: Crosses played in the Lollapalooza Chile festival on March 31 - April 1, 2012. They also played in the Quilmes Rock festival on April 3, 2012.

paragraph: Wehha of East Anglia

paragraph: Wehha was a pagan king of the East Angles who, if he actually existed, ruled the kingdom of East Anglia during the 6th century, at the time the kingdom was being established by migrants from what is now Frisia and the southern Jutland peninsula. Early sources identify him as a member of the Wuffingas dynasty, which became established around the east coast of Suffolk. Nothing of his reign is known.

paragraph: According to the East Anglian tally from the "Textus Roffensis", Wehha was the son of Wilhelm. The 9th century "History of the Britons" lists both Wehha, who is named as 'Guillem Guercha', as the first king of the East Angles, and his son and successor Wuffa, after whom the dynasty was named. It has been claimed that the name "Wehha" was a hypocoristic version of "Wihstān", from the Anglo-Saxon poem "Beowulf", which, along with evidence such as the finds discovered at Sutton Hoo in 1939, suggests a connection between the Wuffingas and a Swedish dynasty, the Scylfings.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Wehha is thought to have been one of the earliest rulers of East Anglia, an independent and long-lived Anglo-Saxon kingdom that was established in the 6th century, and which includes the modern English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk.

paragraph: According to R. Rainbird Clarke, migrants from southern Jutland "speedily dominated" the Sandlings, an area of southeast Suffolk, and then, by around 550, "lost no time in conquering the whole of East Anglia". Rainbird Clarke identified Wehha, the founder of the dynasty, as one of the leaders of the new arrivals: the East Angles are tentatively identified with the Geats of the Old English poem "Beowulf". He used the evidence of the finds at Sutton Hoo to conclude that the Wuffingas originated from Sweden, noting that the sword, helmet and shield found in the ship burial at Sutton Hoo may have been family heirlooms, brought across from Sweden in the beginning of the 6th century. As it is now believed that these artefacts were made in England, there is less agreement amongst scholars that the Wuffingas dynasty was directly linked with Sweden.

paragraph: The extent of the kingdom of the East Angles can be determined from a variety of sources. Isolated to the north and east by the North Sea, there were mainly impenetrable forests to the south and the swamps and scattered islands of the Fens on its western border. The main land route from East Anglia would at that time have been a land corridor, along which ran the prehistoric Icknield Way. The southern neighbours of the East Angles were the East Saxons and across the other side of the Fens were the Middle Angles. It has been suggested that the Devil's Dyke (near modern Newmarket) at one time formed part of the kingdom's western boundary, but as its construction can only be dated from between the 4th and 10th centuries, it cannot be established to be of Early Anglo-Saxon origin.

paragraph: Section::::Genealogy.

paragraph: Wehha is a semi-historical figure and no evidence has survived to show he actually existed or was ever king of the East Angles. The name "Wehha" is included in tallies of the ruling Wuffingas dynasty: the name appears as "Ƿehh Ƿilhelming" - Wehha Wilhelming - in the East Anglian tally from the "Textus Roffensis", an important collection of Anglo-Saxon laws and Rochester Cathedral registers that has survived in the form of two distinct books that were bound together in the 13th century. According to this list, which is also known as the "Anglian collection", Wehha was the son of Wilhelm, who was the son of Hryþ, who was the son of Hroðmund, the son of Trygil, the son of Tyttman, the son of Casere Odisson, the son of the god Wōden. Wehha's son Wuffa, after whom the Wuffingas dynasty is named, is also listed.

paragraph: According to the 9th century "History of the Britons", a man listed as Guillem Guercha was the first of his line to rule as king of the East Angles. The "History of the Britons" lists Guillem Guercha's descendants and ancestors: 'Woden begat Casser, who begat Titinon, who begat Trigil, who begat Rodmunt, who begat Rippa, who begat Guillem Guercha, who was the first king of the East Angles'. According to the 19th-century historian Sir Francis Palgrave, "Guercha" was a distortion of "Wuffa". D. P. Kirby is among those historians who have concluded from this information that Wuffa's father was the founder of the Wuffingas line.

paragraph: Despite the Wuffingas' long list of ancestors — that stretch back to their pagan gods — their power in the region can only have been established in the middle third of the 6th century, if Wehha is taken as the dynastic founder. Martin Carver warns against using the scant material that exists to draw detailed inferences about the earliest Wuffingas kings.

paragraph: Section::::The name "Wehha".

paragraph: The name "Wehha" has been linked as a hypocoristic (shortened) version of "Wihstān", the father of Wiglaf in the Anglo-Saxon poem "Beowulf", strengthening the evidence for a connection between the Wuffingas dynasty and a Swedish royal dynasty, the Scylfings. It has also been suggested that "Wehha" is a regular hypocoristic form of Old English names beginning with "Wē(o)h-", for instance in the unattested name *"Weohha".

paragraph: "Wehha" may occur on a bronze pail excavated from the Chessell Down cemetery on the Isle of Wight, which possesses the runic inscription "".

paragraph: Section::::Reign and succession.

paragraph: Nothing is known of Wehha or of his rule, as no written records have survived from this period in East Anglian history. At an unknown date Wehha was succeeded by Wuffa, who was ruling the kingdom in 571, according to the mediaeval chronicler Roger of Wendover. The date given by Roger of Wendover cannot be corroborated.

paragraph: Patrick John Dunleavy (born 21 June 1952), is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy within the Government Department of the London School of Economics (LSE). He is also Co-Director of Democratic Audit and Chair of the LSE Public Policy Group. In addition Dunleavy has been appointed to an ANZSOG Institute for Governance Centenary Chair at the University of Canberra, Australia.

paragraph: As an undergraduate Patrick Dunleavy studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, graduating in 1973. He moved to Nuffield College, Oxford to work on his doctoral thesis which was published in 1981 as "The Politics of Mass Housing in Britain, 1945-75: Study of Corporate Power and Professional Influence in the Welfare State".

paragraph: Dunleavy is a prominent political theorist specialising in the fields of public policy and government. His research has focused on the concepts of sectors and sectoral conflicts, rational choice theories of politics, the bureau-shaping model of bureaucracy, and the claimed contemporary public management paradigm of digital era governance. Dunleavy is a frequent blogger on the LSE's "British Politics and Policy" site and has had an active Twitter account since 2010 commentating predominately on British politics. He is also former joint editor-in-chief of the academic journal "Global Policy".

paragraph: Dunleavy is also the author of advice texts for humanities and social sciences students, most notably his book "Authoring a PhD: How to plan, draft, write and finish a doctoral dissertation or thesis" (2003).

paragraph: In June 2014 Dunleavy examined how costly it would be to set up an independent Scottish state in the report "Transitioning to a New Scottish State" written with Sean Kippin and Joel Suss and commissioned by "The Sunday Post". Both the Yes and No camps in the independence debate claimed the report to differing extents validated their own arguments and figures. Dunleavy has since declared publicly that the Scottish Treasury "badly misrepresents" his research.

paragraph: Benedetto Briosco

paragraph: Benedetto Briosco (c.1460–c.1517) was an Italian Renaissance sculptor and architect, active in Lombardy.

paragraph: Briosco was born in Pavia, and is thought to have apprenticed in Milan. His "sepulchre monument of Ambrogio Grifi" (1489) in the church of San Pietro in Gessate in Milan is his first documented work. The statue is characterized by a crude realism. Also from his early years in Milan, in which he collaborated with Francesco Cazzaniga, are the "Brivio Monument" in the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio (1489) and the "Della Torre Monument" in Santa Maria delle Grazie (1483–1484).

paragraph: From around 1492 he was involved in the sculptural program of the Certosa di Pavia. He collaborated on the decoration of the façade with Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, and after the death of Amadeo he took over as sole director of the design and sculpting of the main portal (1501–1507). He also worked on the tomb of Gian Galeazzo Visconti (under Giovanni Cristoforo Romano). In 1508-13 he worked in the Cathedral of Cremona (sculpting the "Urn of Saints Peter and Marcellinus"). Traveling from Lombardy to Piedmont, in the church of San Giovanni in Saluzzo he built the tomb of Ludovico II of Saluzzo.

paragraph: He sculpted the noteworthy statue of "St. Anne" for the Duomo of Milan (1492), now in the cathedral's museum. From 1495 is the "Longhignana monument" once in the church of San Pietro in Gessate, and now in the Palazzo Borromeo on the Isola Bella in Lake Maggiore.

paragraph: Alexios Strategopoulos

paragraph: Alexios Komnenos Strategopoulos () was a Byzantine aristocrat and general who rose to the rank of "megas domestikos" and "Caesar". Distantly related to the Komnenian dynasty, he appears in the sources already at an advanced age in the early 1250s, leading armies for the Empire of Nicaea against Epirus. After falling out of favour and being imprisoned by Theodore II Laskaris, Strategopoulos sided with the aristocrats around Michael VIII Palaiologos, and supported him in his rise to the throne after Theodore II's death in 1258. He participated in the Pelagonia campaign in 1259, going on to capture Epirus, but his successes were undone in the next year and he was captured by the Epirotes. Released after a few months, he led the unexpected reconquest of Constantinople from the Latin Empire in July 1261, restoring the Byzantine Empire. He was captured again by the Epirotes in the next year and spent several years in captivity in Italy, before being released. He retired from public affairs and died in the early 1270s.

paragraph: Section::::Origin and family.

paragraph: Nothing is known of the early years of Alexios Strategopoulos' life, nor of his exact descent, except that he belonged to the nobility: other Strategopouloi are mentioned in the 11th and 12th centuries; a John Strategopoulos became "megas logothetes" (chief minister) of the Empire of Nicaea , although his relation with Alexios is unknown. Strategopoulos was apparently related to the illustrious Komnenian dynasty, as a seal dated to has been found bearing the inscription ""Alexios Strategopoulos from the Komnenos family"".

paragraph: Two later sources, Gennadios Scholarios in the 15th century and the 16th-century scholar Pseudo-Sphrantzes, report that he was a descendant of the "Caesar" Nikephoros Melissenos and Eudokia Komnene, a sister of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos (), through their son John Komnenos. Pseudo-Sphrantzes asserts that Strategopoulos was the great-grandson of John Komnenos, and that it was he derived his surname of "Strategopoulos" from the wife of his grandfather Alexios. Scholarios on the other makes John Komnenos his great-great-grandfather, and claims that it was only Strategopoulos' alleged father, Theodosios, who was nicknamed "Strategopoulos" ("little general") by the Nicaean emperor John III Doukas Vatatzes () for his military acumen.

paragraph: The date of his birth is likewise unknown, but as he is called an "old man" in 1258, it must have been around the turn of the 13th century. Of his own family, it is known that he had one son, Constantine, who according to George Pachymeres was married to a daughter of the "sebastokrator" Isaac Doukas Vatatzes, brother of John III Doukas Vatatzes.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: Alexios Strategopoulos first appears in the chronicles in 1252–53, during the reign of John III Doukas Vatatzes, when he led a detachment of the army sent to plunder the areas of Nicaean's Greek rival, the Despotate of Epirus, around Lake Ostrovo. In 1254, he was based at Serres in Macedonia, and in the next year he participated, along with "megas primmikerios" Constantine Tornikes, in a campaign against the fortress of Tzepaina in the western Rhodope Mountains. The campaign failed with heavy losses. The contemporary historian George Akropolites puts the blame on the bad generalship shown by the two commanders, who failed to reconnoitre properly the Bulgarian forces opposing them. As a result, their army broke and fled leaving behind their equipment and horses "to the Bulgarian shepherds and swineherds". This failure enraged the Nicaean emperor Theodore II Laskaris (), who removed both from their offices. In addition, probably because of Strategopoulos' close connection to the aristocratic faction around Michael Palaiologos, his son Constantine was blinded for "lèse-majesté", and Strategopoulos himself was imprisoned some time later.

paragraph: Strategopoulos was probably released from prison immediately after the death of Theodore II Laskaris in August 1258. Along with the other heads of the aristocratic families, he was a prominent supporter of Michael Palaiologos' successful coup against George Mouzalon on 25 August, resulting in Palaiologos' assumption of the regency for Theodore II's under-age son, John IV Laskaris. In the same year he accompanied the army that was sent, under Michael's brother, the "megas domestikos" John Palaiologos, to confront the Epirote designs on Macedonia. When Michael Palaiologos was proclaimed emperor in early 1259, John Palaiologos was promoted to "sebastokrator", and Strategopoulos succeeded him as "megas domestikos". In 1259 he participated in the campaign that led to the decisive victory over an Epirote–Sicilian–Achaean alliance at the Battle of Pelagonia, where, along with Nikephoros Rimpsas, he took captive the 400-strong detachment of German knights sent by King Manfred of Sicily to aid the Epirotes.

paragraph: After the Nicaean victory, John Palaiologos invaded Thessaly, while Alexios Strategopoulos and John Raoul Petraliphas were tasked with reducing Epirus proper. Strategopoulos and Petraliphas crossed the Pindus Mountains, bypassed Ioannina, which they left under siege, and captured the Epirote capital, Arta, forcing the Despot Michael II to flee to the island of Cephalonia. At Arta they found and released many Nicaean prisoners, including the historian George Akropolites. For this success, Strategopoulos was raised to the rank of "Caesar". In the next year, however, the Nicaean successes were largely undone: Despot Michael with his sons and an Italian mercenary army landed at Arta, and the Epirote population rallied to his cause. The Epirote army clashed with Strategopoulos' forces at the Trikorfon pass near Nafpaktos; the Nicaean army was routed, and Strategopoulos himself captured.

paragraph: Section::::Recapture of Constantinople.

paragraph: Despite these reverses, the victory at Pelagonia left Michael VIII free to pursue his most coveted prize: Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which had been the seat of the Latin Empire since its capture by the Fourth Crusade in 1204. To this end, Michael concluded an alliance with Genoa in March 1261, and in July 1261, as the one-year truce concluded after the previous failed Nicaean attack was nearing its end, Strategopoulos, recently released from Epirote custody, was sent with a small advance force of 800 soldiers (most of them Cumans) to keep a watch on the Bulgarians and spy out the defences of the Latins.

paragraph: When the Nicaean force reached the village of Selymbria, some west of Constantinople, they learned from some independent local farmers ("thelematarioi") that the entire Latin garrison, as well as the Venetian fleet, were absent conducting a raid against the Nicaean island of Daphnousia. Strategopoulos initially hesitated to take advantage of the situation, since his small force might be destroyed if the Latin army returned too soon, and because he would exceed the emperor's orders, but eventually decided he could not squander such a golden opportunity to retake the city.

paragraph: On the night of 24/25 July 1261, Strategopoulos and his men approached the city walls and hid at a monastery near the Gate of the Spring. Strategopoulos sent a detachment of his men, led by some of the "thelematarioi", to make their way to the city through a secret passage. They attacked the walls from the inside, surprised the guards and opened the gate, giving the Nicaean force entry into the city. The Latins were taken completely unaware, and after a short struggle, the Nicaeans gained control of the land walls. As news of this spread across the city, the Latin inhabitants, from Emperor Baldwin II downwards, hurriedly rushed to the harbours of the Golden Horn, hoping to escape by ship. At the same time, Strategopoulos' men set fire to the Venetian buildings and warehouses along the coast to prevent them from landing there. Thanks to the timely arrival of the returning Venetian fleet, many of the Latins managed to evacuate to the Latin-held parts of Greece, but the city was lost for good. The recapture of Constantinople signalled the restoration of the Byzantine Empire, and on 15 August, the day of the Dormition of the Theotokos, Emperor Michael VIII entered the city in triumph and was crowned at the Hagia Sophia. The rights of John IV Laskaris were brushed aside, and the young man was blinded and imprisoned.

paragraph: Strategopoulos was honoured by Michael with a triumphal procession through the city, and by allowing his name to be commemorated in the church services for a year alongside the Emperor and the Patriarch.

paragraph: Section::::Later life and death.

paragraph: After this feat that earned him fame and glory, in 1262 Strategopoulos was appointed again to lead an army against Epirus. This time, however, he was defeated and captured by Despot Nikephoros Doukas, who sent him to Manfred in Italy. He was ransomed in 1265 in exchange for Manfred's sister Constance II of Hohenstaufen, widow of John Vatatzes. Alexios Strategopoulos is last mentioned in a document from December 1270 in which he made a donation to the Makrinitissa Monastery near Volos, and died sometime between 1271 and 1275, probably at Constantinople.
