paragraph: Dic Penderyn

paragraph: Richard Lewis (1807/8 – 13 August 1831), known as Dic Penderyn, was a Welsh labourer and coal miner who lived in Merthyr Tydfil who was involved with the Merthyr Rising of 3 June 1831. In the course of the riot he was arrested alongside Lewis Lewis, one of the primary figures in the uprising, and charged with stabbing a soldier with a bayonet. The people of Merthyr Tydfil doubted his guilt, and signed a petition for his release. However, he was found guilty and hanged on 13 August. After his death he was treated as a martyr in Merthyr and across Wales.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Richard Lewis was born in Aberavon, Glamorgan, Wales in 1807 or 1808, in a cottage named "Penderyn". He was the son of Lewis Lewis, a cordwainer and later a miner from Cornelly, and his wife, Margaret. He moved to Merthyr Tydfil with his family in 1819, where he and his father found work in the mines. He was literate with some chapel schooling. His family were Methodists, and his sister Elizabeth married the Methodist preacher Morgan Howells.

paragraph: Section::::Trial.

paragraph: Along with Lewis Lewis (known as "Lewsyn yr Heliwr"), Dic Penderyn was arrested for stabbing Private Donald Black of the 93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Regiment of Foot, using a bayonet attached to a gun. This incident was alleged to have happened outside the Castle Inn. Private Black’s injuries were not fatal, and he could not identify either Lewis Lewis or Richard Lewis; nevertheless, at the conclusion of the day-long trial on 13 July 1831 by Mr Justice Bosanquet and a jury at Cardiff Assizes, both were convicted and sentenced to death. There is no evidence that Dic played any substantial part in the rising at all unlike Lewis who was definitely involved. Both were held in Cardiff gaol.

paragraph: Lewis Lewis had his sentence commuted to transportation, largely thanks to the testimony of a Special Constable, John Thomas, whom Lewis had shielded from the rioters. The people of Merthyr Tydfil were convinced that Dic Penderyn was not responsible for the stabbing, and more than 11,000 signed a petition demanding his release; even the conservative "Cambrian" newspaper objected. Joseph Tregelles Price, a Quaker ironmaster from Neath, who went to console the two condemned men, was immediately convinced of Dic Penderyn's innocence and went to Merthyr to gather evidence for this. He persuaded the trial judge that the sentence was unsafe. The Home Secretary Lord Melbourne, well known for his severity, delayed the execution for two weeks, but refused to reduce the sentence despite pleas not only from workers but the Welsh establishment. It seems the execution occurred solely because Lord Melbourne wanted at least one rebel to die as an example.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Dic Penderyn was hanged outside Cardiff gaol on the gallows in St. Mary's Street, Cardiff (at what is now the entrance of Cardiff Market), at 8am on 13 August 1831 at the age of 23. His last words were "O Arglwydd, dyma gamwedd" (English: "Oh Lord, here is iniquity"). Penderyn’s public execution allegedly caused his pregnant wife to suffer a miscarriage.

paragraph: Thousands accompanied his body through the Vale of Glamorgan to his grave, and listened to a funeral sermon from his brother-in-law Morgan Howells. He is buried in St Mary's churchyard in Aberavon, Port Talbot, where a memorial was placed by local trade unionists in 1966. There is a plaque to Dic Penderyn at Cardiff Market, near to the gallows site. Regarded as a martyr, his death further embittered relations between Welsh workers and the authorities and strengthened the Trade Union movement and Chartism in the run up to the Newport Rising.

paragraph: Section::::Aftermath.

paragraph: In 1874, a man named Iuean Parker confessed on his death bed, in the United States, to the Reverend Evan Evans that he stabbed Black and then fled to America fearing capture by the authorities, thus exonerating Dic Penderyn. Another man named James Abbott, who testified against Dic Penderyn at the trial, also later admitted to lying under oath.

paragraph: Interest in the case has remained strong. Harri Webb wrote a booklet on it in 1956 titled "Dic Penderyn and the Merthyr Uprising of 1831". In 1972 Alexander Cordell wrote the popular novel "The Fire People", set against the background of the Merthyr Rising. Cordell did considerable research and an appendix to the book presents evidence suggesting he may have been unjustly condemned to be hanged. The book added to the interest in the case. In 1977 a memorial to a "Martyr of the Welsh Working Class" was unveiled at Merthyr public library by Len Murray, the General Secretary of the TUC, and sections from Cordell's book were read out.

paragraph: After reading Cordell's book, Welsh singer/songwriter Martyn Joseph wanted to write a song telling the story of Dic Penderyn. Cordell warned him to be sure to do Dic Penderyn justice. Upon completing the song, Joseph sent the song to Cordell, who said that he had done "a beautiful thing".

paragraph: Section::::Campaign for a pardon.

paragraph: In 2000 a legal case was started by Lewis's descendants to seek a pardon. In June 2015, Ann Clwyd MP presented a petition for a pardon in the House of Commons. Mike Penning, Minister for Policing, Crime and Criminal Justice, responded that pardons were only granted "where evidence has come to light which demonstrates conclusively that the convicted individual was innocent and that the relevant appeal mechanisms have been exhausted". In July 2016, Stephen Kinnock MP presented a 600-signature petition to the Ministry of Justice, calling for a pardon. The Ministry of Justice replied that 10,000 signatures were required to trigger a parliamentary debate, and referred to the answer given by the ministry in 2015. Kinnock said that the fight for a pardon would continue.

paragraph: Francis Hackett

paragraph: Francis Hackett (21 January 1883 – 25 April 1962). He was born in Kilkenny, Ireland to the daughter of a farmer and a medical officer. He is most famous for writing a detailed book about Henry VIII but was also a noted critic and published several other books most of which were either non-fiction or biographies.

paragraph: He was educated in St Kieran's College, where Thomas MacDonagh was his teacher.

paragraph: He married the Danish writer Signe Toksvig, and the couple lived in Ireland in the early years of the State, and then moved to Denmark, to the US during World War II, and back to Denmark.

paragraph: "Hackett immigrated to the United States in 1901 for various reasons, among them being his dissatisfaction with the British Government ruling Ireland, and his family’s inability to finance his college education. When he arrived in New York he published articles in Standish O’Grady’s "All Ireland Review", Arthur Griffith’s "United Irishman", and Samuel Richardson’s "The Gael". Hackett took a series of jobs as a clerk in a law firm, for the advertising department of Cosmopolitan Magazine, and literary editor of various periodicals, such as the "Chicago Evening Post". In 1906 Hackett moved into Hull-House and taught English to Russian Immigrants. As writer and critic, Hackett attacked Chicago’s genteel and commercial cultures, racism, and the subordination of women. He left his position as literary editor of the Post in 1911 to pursue a career as a novelist." (http://tigger.uic.edu/depts/hist/hull-maxwell/vicinity/nws1/documents/hackett-introduction.PDF)

paragraph: Omar Hassan (artist)

paragraph: Omar Hassan (born 11 March 1987) is a contemporary artist. He lives in Milan and works in Milan and London.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Omar Hassan was born in 1987 in Milan, Italy, to an Italian mother and an Egyptian father. His best friend, a prolific graffiti artist, encouraged a 15-year-old Omar to join him in experimenting on the walls of his native city. Hassan later witnessed his best friend fall to his death in one of Milan’s underground tunnels.

paragraph: The tragedy proved a formative event for Hassan. The artist felt compelled to explore various paths, experimenting with a significant talent for boxing and fearless creative risks. However, after 10 years of training in the ring, Hassan was forced to abandon his love of boxing and the lure of competitive sport when a diagnosis of diabetes was discovered – disqualifying him from professional boxing on the grounds of health and safety. Being unable to fully explore this passion, Hassan returned to his other love; investing all his energy into his artistic practice.

paragraph: Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Hassan raised money for Diabetes UK via selling a piece of performance art he created at the private view of his exhibition ‘Breaking Through’.

paragraph: Hassan collaborated with artist Helidon Xhixha to support Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRI) at an art event in Miami.

paragraph: Hassan graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in 2010, and after several group and solo exhibitions, he was invited by Vittorio Sgarbi; curator of the Italian Pavilion, to exhibit at the 2011 54th Venice Biennale.

paragraph: Section::::Technique.

paragraph: In a series of paintings, Hassan performs a painting technique inspired by his boxing career. This involves dipping his boxing gloves into paint and punching onto a large canvas. He uses some classical references in his work, such as Nike taking off the sandal, but also takes some influence from Islamic art. Additionally, he creates sculptures and patterns from the spray painting materials he uses. His series of paintings called Injections, are single dots of colour with streams of paint issuing from the nucleus. They refer to his daily shots of insulin from being diabetic.

paragraph: Section::::Public Works.

paragraph: Hassan has created several public works in Italy and the UK. These include One Wall at the Palazzo della Regione in Milan, the Museo Mille Miglia in Brescia, the Accademia delle Belle Arti Aldo Galli in Como and Colour Cube in London’s Brick Lane. The latter work was created by redecorating a concrete bollard located alongside the East London Line. They all make use of his signature motif found in the injections series.

In 325 career games, Houtteman pitched 1,555 innings and posted a win-loss record of 87–91, with 78 complete games, 14 shutouts, and a 4.14 earned run average (ERA).

paragraph: Known on the sandlot for his pitching motion, Houtteman was signed by scout Wish Egan in 1945 at 17 years of age. He was recruited by major league teams, and joined a Tigers pitching staff that had lost players to injuries and World War II. After moving between the major and minor leagues over the next few years, he was nearly killed in an automobile accident just before the 1949 season. Houtteman rebounded from his injuries and went on to win 15 games that season and made his only All-Star appearance in the following year.

paragraph: He played three more seasons with the Tigers, then was sold to Cleveland, where he pitched for the pennant-winning Indians during their 1954 season. After losing his starting job, he played two more seasons with the Indians before he was bought by the Orioles, and he finished his final season in Major League Baseball with them. Houtteman ended his baseball career in the minor leagues and became a sales executive in Detroit. In 2003, Houtteman died at the age of 75.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Art Houtteman was born in Detroit, Michigan, on August 7, 1927. He was a second-generation American citizen; his grandfather Joseph had emigrated from Belgium. The only son born to the Houtteman family, Art's father, also named Arthur, vowed that his son would become a major league player by the time he turned 17.

paragraph: Houtteman played baseball at Detroit Catholic Central High School, where his pitching caught the attention of baseball scout Wish Egan, who praised Houtteman's "perfect pitching motion". Houtteman was signed by the Detroit Tigers late in 1944 and began to practice with the Tigers in spring training before the 1945 season along with fellow Detroit sandlot player Billy Pierce. He spent most of the 1945 season playing for Detroit's top minor league affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons. But injuries plagued the Tigers' pitching staff, and the 17-year-old Houtteman was called up by the parent club and began his major league career.

paragraph: Section::::Detroit Tigers.

paragraph: Section::::Detroit Tigers.:Hard Luck Houtteman.

paragraph: Due to Tiger pitching injuries, and with many top players still in the military late in World War II (Houtteman was too young for the draft), he made his major league debut on April 29. At 17 years old, he was the youngest player in the American League in the 1945 season before being optioned back to Buffalo, where on June 20 he threw seven no-hit innings, facing only 22 batters in the process, but lost the game 2–0 in extra innings. He also appeared in 13 games as a relief pitcher, and finished his minor league season with no wins, two losses and an ERA of 5.33 in just over 25 innings pitched. He was not on the active roster, and as a result did not pitch during the Tigers' World Series victory over the Chicago Cubs.

paragraph: Houtteman was the youngest major leaguer in 1946 but played only one game for the Tigers that season, allowing eight runs and fifteen hits in eight innings. He spent most of 1946 in the minor leagues, finished at 16–13 and led the league in strikeouts. At the end of the season, Houtteman was named by six of the eight International League managers as the top pitching prospect in the league, leading the league in strikeouts with 150, pitching over 200 innings, finishing second in victories with 16, and amassing an 11–2 road record. Minor league third baseman Johnny Bero liked Houtteman's fielding ability so much that he called him "a fifth infielder."

paragraph: Despite his newfound top prospect status Houtteman remained in Buffalo at the beginning of the 1947 season before being recalled to the Tigers in July. He was relegated to the bullpen for a time, and saw little action. But after Hal Newhouser, Fred Hutchinson and Dizzy Trout were used in two days, Tiger manager Steve O'Neill decided to start Houtteman against the Washington Senators for only the second start of his career. He tossed a five-hit shutout and Tiger general manager Billy Evans said, "In 40 years I've never seen a better pitching job by a first-year pitcher. We now know that Houtteman is really a big leaguer". He followed this with another five-hit victory against the Boston Red Sox, then pitched a three-hit shutout in September against the St. Louis Browns. He finished the season at 7–2 with a 3.42 ERA, seven complete games and two shutouts. His performance in 1947 caught the attention of New York Yankees star and future Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio, who said of Houtteman and Bob Lemon, "They have more stuff and more pitching sense than any other young fellows I've seen come up in a long while".

paragraph: The 1948 Detroit Tigers season began with Houtteman in the starting rotation. Things started off poorly, however, as Houtteman lost his first eight decisions. Two of the first five losses, though, were by one run, and he had little run support. The 0–8 start and lack of run support led to his being called "Hard Luck Houtteman" in the media. His first victory that year came against the Senators, in which he also drove in the winning run. After winning his next start, he defeated the Philadelphia Athletics allowing only five hits, and avoided another loss. But he then lost eight more games and finished the season at 2–16. His teammates and the media attributed this to bad luck rather than bad pitching, and still regarded him as a prime prospect. Newhouser said, "The kid has had nothing but bad luck since the season opened", while Fred Hutchinson said, "He shouldn't have lost more than three or four games had he gotten an even break". But his 4.66 ERA was only 0.06 higher than the major league average.

paragraph: As 1949 spring training began, Houtteman was nearly killed. In Lakeland, Florida on March 10, while driving home from Florida Southern College, he crashed into a fruit truck fracturing his skull. Originally listed in critical condition (a priest stood by to administer the last rites in extremis), he recovered rapidly and was able to talk with his teammates two days after the accident, telling them, "I'll be able to pitch sooner than you". Within two weeks, the Tigers were optimistic that Houtteman would be able to play again by June. As a result of the injuries to Houtteman and Yankee star catcher Yogi Berra due to car accidents, Cleveland Indians playing manager Lou Boudreau banned his players from driving, forcing the soon-to-be world champions to ride chartered buses to exhibition games.

paragraph: Section::::Detroit Tigers.:Ace of the staff.

paragraph: Houtteman marked his return to the Tigers' rotation on May 21, 1949, but he lost his first three decisions. His performance improved, however, as he began to earn more victories in the 1949 season. These wins included a five-hit 2–1 victory over the New York Yankees on July 23. Over the course of the season, Houtteman beat each American League club at least once and beat the Yankees and Red Sox three times. He finished the season with a 15–10 record, a 3.71 ERA, 13 complete games, and two shutouts. He was placed in most valuable player (MVP) voting, and received three points and finished tied for 22nd with teammate Virgil Trucks. The Philadelphia Sports Writers Association honored him as the year's "Most Courageous Athlete" because of his injury and comeback.

paragraph: As the 1950 Detroit Tigers season started, Houtteman was on a high note, pitching all of spring training without allowing a walk. He won his tenth game of the season on June 28, 1950, and became the first pitcher to hit the 10-win mark alongside Bob Lemon. After the game, he told an Associated Press reporter that he was just about convinced that Lady Luck had decided to give him a break after kicking him around for the past two or three years. Houtteman said, "I've been having a pretty good year and it sure feels good after some of the things that have happened to me". A week into July, Houtteman notched his eleventh victory, and only lost five games, in a 6–1 win against the St. Louis Browns. Just a few days later, Houtteman was named to the All-Star roster alongside fellow Tigers including Ted Gray, George Kell and Hoot Evers. In the 1950 All-Star game, Houtteman pitched three innings and batted once. He allowed one earned run, three hits, and one walk, his one earned run coming in the ninth inning on a Ralph Kiner home run that made the game go to extra innings.

paragraph: Houtteman continued his successful season in the second half. On August 19, he faced the Browns and pitched a one-hitter, and faced the minimum 27 batters in the process. Houtteman ended the season just short of Ted Gray's prediction of 20 victories, and finished the season with a 19–12 record. He led the league in shutouts with four and was second in games started with 34, second in innings pitched with 274.7, third in wins, and third in complete games with 21. His ERA of 3.54 was good for fifth in the American League. He also earned six points in MVP voting, and finished tied for 24th. On October 2, the day after the 1950 season ended, Houtteman married Shelagh Marie Kelly. They met in New York's Catskill Mountains at Grossinger's Resort.

paragraph: Section::::Detroit Tigers.:Military and return to Tigers.

paragraph: Before the start of the 1951 season, Houtteman was drafted into the United States Army. He had originally been classified 4F, or medically ineligible for the draft, because of a high school knee injury, and he felt that he was drafted only because he was a prominent athlete. He served in the heavy weapons division of the Army, where the roar of the big guns sent pains throbbing through Houtteman's head and gave him severe headaches, which doctors believed was a lingering effect of the skull fracture three years earlier. As a result, the Army reclassified Houtteman as not fully qualified for combat duty. This led to a medical discharge on September 15, 1951. Speaking of his time in the Army, Houtteman said, "I spent most of my time in the Army hospital. I did play a little ball at Camp Pickett", Virginia.

paragraph: When he returned to the Tigers for spring training in 1952, Tigers' manager Red Rolfe noted, "Artie could be our best pitcher. He's the slump-breaking type, a guy who can throw a shutout once in a while". After a poor season without Houtteman in 1951, Rolfe predicted, "We'll be back in the first division this season because Art Houtteman is back. Houtteman makes us at least a dozen games better than [last year's Tigers' team]". Houtteman worked out in Detroit with pitcher Ted Gray over the winter before the 1952 season. Before the season started, Houtteman said, "It all depends on how I get off. I'm anxious to get into the season. My arm doesn't feel any different than it did in '50. I hope I can do even better than my last year". Houtteman also took number 21 on his uniform, the number he had when he first arrived with the Tigers, because he felt that it had given both him and teammate George Kell, who won a batting title with the number, good luck.

paragraph: It appeared that "Hard Luck Houtteman" had returned as the 1952 Detroit Tigers season began. On April 2, 1952, just before the season started, Art lost his seven-month-old daughter in an automobile accident. In an April 26 matchup against the Cleveland Indians, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Houtteman was one out away from a no-hitter when he threw a fastball that was "supposed to sink" but did not, which Harry hit for a single. Houtteman said, "This was the only pitch I shook Ginsberg off the whole game", and for years afterwards, catcher Joe Ginsberg repeatedly said to Houtteman, "If you'd listened to me, I'd have you in the Hall of Fame". Detroit won the game by a score of 13–0. After losing his tenth game on June 22, manager Red Rolfe moved Houtteman out of the starting rotation and into the bullpen. He finished the year with an 8–20 record and a 4.36 ERA. His 20th loss came on September 21 against the Indians, and he became the first Tiger to lose 20 games since Bobo Newsom in 1941. His disappointing season led to the possibility of a trade, with general manager Charlie Gehringer acknowledging that Houtteman might be traded if the right offer came along.

paragraph: Houtteman spent the offseason selling cars and making public appearances for the Detroit Tigers. During the 1953 Detroit Tigers season there were rumors of possible trades for Houtteman, with the Yankees proposing the possibility of trading Hank Bauer, an infielder, and Gil McDougald for Houtteman. Gehringer said of Houtteman's high trading price, "Art has always had good stuff—much too good to be a 20-game loser". That season, he was used as both a starter and reliever during the season. However, he lost six straight decisions, and by the middle of June had a 2–6 record and a 5.90 ERA. This marked the end of his career as a Tiger.

paragraph: Section::::Cleveland Indians.

paragraph: On June 15, 1953, Houtteman was traded by the Tigers, along with Owen Friend, Joe Ginsberg and Bill Wight, to the Cleveland Indians for Ray Boone, Al Aber, Steve Gromek and Dick Weik. In July 1953, he returned to Detroit to pitch against the Tigers. At the time, Houtteman admitted he wanted to be traded. He said, "The fans are down on me and I'd do everybody a lot more good by being traded". He was not content with the Tigers and said there were times when it seemed he "couldn't wait to peel off his uniform after a game". As a result of Indians' pitching coach Mel Harder doing a "complete" overhaul, Houtteman was moved into the starting rotation, to replace Bob Feller. Houtteman finished the season in Cleveland with a 7–7 record, six complete games, one shutout, 109 innings pitched, and a 3.80 ERA.

paragraph: At the start of the 1954 Cleveland Indians season, Houtteman's second daughter, Hollis Ann, was born on February 22. His pitching continued to improve under Mel Harder, who "got me to quit experimenting and to seek my natural delivery". The Indians used him when they could, especially in extra inning affairs. In the Indians' first six extra inning games, Houtteman was used three times. As a result, Houtteman finished the season with a career-high 11 complete games. The Indians also began to use Houtteman and Feller for doubleheaders with great success, as they had a 9–1 record after their first five doubleheaders. Houtteman finished the season with a 15–7 record, a 3.35 ERA, and 188 innings pitched. In the 1954 World Series with the Indians, he pitched two innings in Game 3 against the New York Giants, allowing one run and striking out one batter.

paragraph: The 1955 Cleveland Indians season originally planned to use Houtteman as the number four pitcher on the starting rotation, as he had been the previous year. He saw himself remaining the fourth starter, and said, "Herb Score won't beat me out of the fourth starting job with the Indians" on April 11. However, he became a spot starter, as he lost his starting position to Score, the "most talked-about rookie in all the major league training camps". He split starting time with Bob Feller and finished the season with a 10–6 record, a 3.98 ERA, and three complete games. On December 29, 1955, Houtteman's first son, Jeff, was born with assistance from National Football League player Leon Hart, who was visiting Houtteman and helped deliver the baby.

paragraph: Houtteman remained a reliever during the 1956 Cleveland Indians season. He continued to get trade offers in 1956, though, as the Chicago White Sox were willing to trade outfielder Jim Rivera for him. A three-team, nine-player deal involving Houtteman again becoming part of the White Sox along with George Strickland was also scrapped at the last second. Houtteman finished the 1956 season having only made 22 appearances on the mound, earning a 2–2 record. However, he had a high ERA of 6.56, his highest since 1946, when he made one appearance.

paragraph: As the 1957 Cleveland Indians season neared, tension was running high. There was talk about Houtteman's being "in the doghouse", or out of favor with the team's management, during the 1956 season due to his lack of starts. According to sportswriter Hal Lebovitz, this was a result of the starting five for the Indians, including spot starter Feller, pitching very well during spring training. Houtteman was again brought up in trade rumors, along with Mike Garcia, since the Indians were loaded with pitching talent. When manager Al López was replaced by Kerby Farrell, Houtteman did, in fact, land in Farrell's doghouse. Farrell called him out front of his teammates after a poor performance in spring training. Houtteman pitched only four innings in three games for the Indians in 1957.

paragraph: Section::::Baltimore Orioles and minor leagues.

paragraph: Houtteman was put on the trade bloc before the 1957 season, but he drew no serious offers because Cleveland seemed desperate to trade him. On May 20, after playing three games for the Indians, Houtteman was sold to the Baltimore Orioles for an undisclosed amount. Hal Lebovitz called Houtteman "a pitcher of considerable promise but who somehow has yet to cash in on it", despite the fact that he was in his 12th and final major league season. During the 1957 Baltimore Orioles season, Houtteman made four relief appearances before he was demoted to the Vancouver Mounties of the Pacific Coast League. He was brought back up to the major league roster to pitch on September 22, the final start of his major league career. In his final game, he pitched 2⅓ innings, allowing three runs on seven hits and throwing two strikeouts.

paragraph: Just before the 1958 season began, Houtteman was cut by the Orioles, ending his major league career. Shortly after being cut, he signed on with the Charleston Senators, a farm club of the Tigers. He had a 3.25 ERA and a 7–9 record for the Senators at the end of the 1958 season. In 1959, the Kansas City Athletics decided to give him a tryout. However, despite what was described as an "impressive" performance, they cut Houtteman as they were looking for more youthful arms. Houtteman signed with the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League, and posted a 6–9 record with an ERA of 3.69 for the season. After the season ended, and after a third daughter, Sharon, was born in 1959, Houtteman announced his retirement from baseball at the age of 32.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: After retiring from professional baseball, Houtteman kept baseball a part of his life and became a sports reporter for a television station in Detroit for a time. He later became a sales executive with Paragon Steel in Detroit, where he worked until reaching the age of retirement. He was in attendance for the last game at Tiger Stadium in 1999. Houtteman died on May 6, 2003, at the age of 75, of an apparent heart attack at his home in Rochester Hills, Michigan. He was survived by his wife, three children, and six grandchildren.

paragraph: Aunt Priscilla

paragraph: Aunt Priscilla was a pseudonym for the columnist Eleanor Purcell of "The Baltimore Sun". Purcell used the image of the Mammy archetype to create a cooking column called "Aunt Priscilla's Recipes" which was purported to be written by an African American woman. The daily column was written in an exaggerated dialect.

paragraph: Section::::About.

paragraph: Aunt Priscilla purportedly was a daily food columnist for "The Baltimore Sun" and her column ran in the late 1920s through the 1940s"." The columns were written as answers to culinary requests from readers of the newspaper and described how to cook traditional Southern recipes. The directions for the recipes were written with "inexperienced cooks or brides in mind," according to "The Baltimore Sun".

paragraph: Aunt Priscilla's columns were written in a dialect similar to Uncle Remus, according to writer, Alice Furlaud. Lisa Hix described the dialect as an "exaggerated slave dialect." Each publication included an illustration of a woman that could be considered "Jemima-like," according to Toni Tipton-Martin. In a 1951 book called "The Amiable Baltimoreans", the author, Francis F. Beirne, refers to Aunt Priscilla as if she was a real person.

paragraph: In fact, the column was written by Eleanor Purcell, who was white. Purcell's work, according to Tipton-Martin, "was a form of minstrelsy," but "it broke with the long tradition of simply taking and publishing African American recipes without giving black cooks credit." Purcell started working at "The Baltimore Sun" in 1916 and "Aunt Priscilla's Recipes" was her first feature for the paper.

paragraph: In 1929, a compilation of recipes, mostly featuring Holiday themes, was published. The book was called "Aunt Priscilla in the Kitchen: A Collection of Wintertime Recipes." The column and the book both "are full of nostalgia for the old slave-owning south," said Furlaud. "The Baltimore Sun" wrote that the cookbook was "well received."

paragraph: Charles Butterworth (actor)

paragraph: Charles Edward Butterworth (July 26, 1896 – June 13, 1946) was an American actor specializing in comedic roles, often in musicals. Butterworth's distinctive voice was the inspiration for the Cap'n Crunch commercials from the Jay Ward studio: voice actor Daws Butler based Cap'n Crunch on the voice of Butterworth.

paragraph: One of Butterworth's more memorable film roles was in the Irving Berlin musical "This Is the Army" (1943) as the bugle-playing Private Eddie Dibble. He generally was a supporting actor, though he had top billing in "We Went to College" (1936), played the title role in "Baby Face Harrington" (1935), and shared top billing (as the Sultan) with Ann Corio in "The Sultan's Daughter" (1944). In his obituary, he is described as "characterizing the man who could not make up his mind".

paragraph: He is credited with the quip "Why don't you slip out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini?" from "Every Day's a Holiday". In "Forsaking All Others", when Clark Gable, quoting Benjamin Franklin, said, "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise," Butterworth replied, "Ever take a good look at a milkman?"

paragraph: Brittany CoxXx

paragraph: Brittany CoxXx (July 19, 1978 – December 6, 2016) was the stage name of Adrianna Cortez, an American performer in gay and transsexual pornography. CoxXx had a successful career in gay pornography under the name Stonie before transitioning from male to female in late 2005. Before transition she performed in more than 60 productions, appeared on nearly 50 box covers, and was nominated for the 2001 GayVN Award in the "Best Newcomer" category. She made a cameo appearance in the 2006 movie "Borat".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: CoxXx was born in July 19, 1978 to Perry Cortez Sr. and Deborah (nee Waguespack) in New Orleans, Louisiana and had three brothers. Under the stage name Stonie, CoxXx began working in both gay and transsexual pornography in 1999.

paragraph: Section::::Gay porn career.

paragraph: After several performances with Gary McKay's L.A. Heat productions, CoxXx (under the name Stonie) signed an exclusive contract with GayVN Hall of Fame director Paul Barresi. The contract was unusual for including benefits rarely provided in the adult industry. By 2006, her career had included more than 60 productions and involved every major gay porn studio. Accolades included being described as the Kate Moss of gay porn and the person "with the hottest ass" – in fact, Mickey Skee described the star as having "one of the hottest asses in the business since Joey Stefano's" whilst Jason Sechrest described the star as an "insatiable super bottom with an unparalleled sex drive".

paragraph: CoxXx's work often included "dictatorial daddies" and authoritarian, discipline, or military themes. In playing roles subservient to "dictatorial daddies", CoxXx was well-matched with Barresi, as "Adult Video News" has said Barresi's directorial efforts make him "undisputedly the king of military-themed videos." Many of the authoritarian videos were made with Barresi and his Regiment Productions studio (such as "Brig Brats", "Carnal Cadets", and "Wild Blue"), though a spanking fetish video was also filmed with Control-T Studios and a bondage video "Roped Trick" with Tom "Ropes" McGurk.

paragraph: CoxXx appeared in a scene with J.T. Sloan, the 1995 GayVN Gay Performer of the Year, in the 2000 Pacific Sun Entertainment production "Daddy Please!" Working with All Worlds Video, she made "White Lies", "Father Figure," appearing with GayVN Award and two-time Grabby Award-winner Sam Crockett. CoxXx was also featured in the film's sequel, "Father Figure 2". For Catalina Video, she appeared in a threeway with Jason Sizemore. The two also appeared together in the Studio 2000 production "Straight Up". CoxXx's career included appearances on nearly 50 box covers.

paragraph: A nomination was received in the "Best Newcomer" category in the 2001 GayVN Awards, losing to Caesar. The two stars appeared together in the Men of Odyssey production "Caesar's Hardhat Gang Bang", which won the 2001 GayVN Award for "Best Ethnic-Themed Video".

paragraph: Section::::Borat cameo.

paragraph: "Borat" was a 2006 mockumentary comedy film that was a critical and commercial success, but which was also highly controversial. In what was described as one of the best sight gags in the film, the central character Borat Sagdiyev shows photographs of himself with his allegedly 13-year-old son Hooeylewis, portrayed by CoxXx, to an etiquette coach. In one such photo, Hooeylewis naked and "cradling his Dad in his arms" while in another "Borat [is] squatting down giving the thumbs-up sign to a close-up of shot of his son's large endowment".

paragraph: RadarOnline republished the Radar magazine report on the porn star appearing as Borat's son:

paragraph: Commenting on the appearance, Queerty noted that, despite Borat exploiting "his son's genitals", Sacha Baron Cohen did not invite CoxXx to the premiere of "Borat". Forest did comment that the star "earned far more for [the Borat] photo session than [she] would've if it had been for an adult company. We got paid a good sum of money."

paragraph: Section::::Transition.

paragraph: CoxXx's last gay porn appearances were filmed in 2005, though these works continued to be released until 2006. Her transition began in late 2005 and lasted approximately a year, after which she took the stage name Brittany CoxXx. At the start of 2008, agent David Forest confirmed her return to adult film productions, her first performance being in "Brittany's Transformation" in collaboration with Barresi, who she trusted and respected after their earlier work together. CoxXx declared that she was "really looking forward to working again with Pleasure Productions and Paul Barresi," adding that "[i]t's funny how things happen in life. Everything seems to come full circle."

paragraph: The film "Brittany's Transformation" told the story of her transitioning and was well received. Barresi put together the financing for the film and chose to include older footage of Stonie to tell her transition story. Barresi described the film as unlike any transsexual movie made before. The film was nominated in the 2009 AVN Awards in the category of "Best Transsexual Release", while CoxXx herself was nominated in the "Transsexual Performer Of The Year" category. Speaking about "Brittany's Transformation", CoxXx commented that "since this is my first movie as a woman – in my new bod, which I totally "love" by the way – it's a whole new experience onscreen for myself and for the viewers". She was partnered with Christian XXX in the final scene of the film.

paragraph: J. C. Adams, who has been writing about gay pornography since at least 1998, commented that CoxXx's transsexual performance "may actually be the first time a gay adult performer has undergone the switch and re-emerged as a MTF actor. (Others have donned drag, of course, but that's a different animal.)" Jason Sechrest confirmed that CoxXx was the first to move from gay male to trans woman porn star, describing the movie as "groundbreaking".  Lucas Entertainment performer Christina Cruz has since followed Brittany by also transitioning from the gay male market to the transsexual market. According to "Gay Porn Times" editor J. C. Adams, the report of CoxXx's transition was in the top ten most popular stories they covered in 2008.  Chi Chi LaRue commented on the difficulties CoxXx faced, observing that "she was happier once she transitioned" but also that many "people didn't show her support or respect her decision."

paragraph: Section::::Post-acting and Death.

paragraph: CoxXx left the adult industry in 2009 and moved to Florida, where she spent several months in hospital battling Hepatitis B and liver disease. By January 2010, her hepatitis was reported to be almost undetectable and she was recovering well. By September, CoxXx was reported as fully recovered and made a live appearance at Micky's in West Hollywood, California, stealing the show. CoxXx subsequently started a business in Fort Lauderdale, Florida – Couture Visions Photography – which she owned and operated until her death.

paragraph: CoxXx died at Broward Health in Fort Lauderdale on December 6, 2016 at the age of 38. She was survived by her father, two of her brothers, and her paternal grandmother. CoxXx was remembered fondly by adult industry figures. Chi Chi Larue described CoxXx as a "true original" who was "very beautiful in both of her lives" and "grabbed the bull by the horns and did it her way. She will definitely be missed. Rest in peace sweet angel." The JRL Charts President reflected on McKay introducing him to Stonie, who he described as an "upbeat young man [sic] who had high hopes for a career in the gay adult film industry [who] became a true friend for many years. ... I will truly miss [her]."

paragraph: Alexander I of Macedon

paragraph: Alexander I of Macedon (), known with the title Philhellene (Greek: φιλέλλην, literally "lover of the Greeks", meaning "patriot") was the ruler of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon from c. 498 BC until his death in 454 BC. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Alcetas II.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Alexander was the son of Amyntas I and Queen Eurydice ().

paragraph: He had a sister named Gygaea ().

paragraph: He gave his sister for marriage to the Persian general Bubares, in the late 6th century BC who was in Macedon at the time, in order to stop him from searching for Persian soldiers who had been killed by Alexander's men following his commands.

paragraph: Alexander I came to the throne during the era of the kingdom's vassalage at the hand of Achaemenid Persia, dating back to the time of his father, Amyntas I, although Macedon retained a broad scope of autonomy. In 492 BC it was made to a fully subordinate part of the Persian Kingdom by Mardonius' campaign. At that time, Alexander was on the nominal Macedonian throne. Alexander further acted as a representative of the Persian governor Mardonius during peace negotiations after the Persian defeat at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. In later events, Herodotus several times mentions Alexander as a man who is on Xerxes' side and follows the assigned tasks.

paragraph: From the time of Mardonius' conquest of Macedon, Alexander I is referred to as "hyparchos" by Herodotus, meaning subordinate governor. Despite his cooperation with Persia, Alexander I frequently gave supplies and advice to the Greek city states, and warned them of Mardonius' plans before the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC. For example, Alexander I warned the Greeks in Tempe to leave before the arrival of Xerxes' troops, as well as notified them of an alternate route into Thessaly through upper Macedonia. After their defeat in Plataea, the Persian army under the command of Artabazus tried to retreat all the way back to Asia Minor. Most of the 43,000 survivors were attacked and killed by the forces of Alexander at the estuary of the Strymon river. Alexander eventually regained Macedonian independence after the end of the Persian Wars.

paragraph: Alexander claimed descent from Argive Greeks and Heracles. After a court of Elean hellanodikai determined his claim to be true, he was permitted to participate in the Olympic Games possibly in 504 BC, an honour reserved only for Greeks. He modelled his court after Athens and was a patron of the poets Pindar and Bacchylides, both of whom dedicated poems to Alexander. The earliest reference to an Athenian proxenos, who lived during the time of the Persian wars (c. 490 BC), is that of Alexander I. Alexander I was given the title "philhellene" (Greek: "φιλέλλην", "fond of the Greeks", "lover of the Greeks"), a title used for Greek patriots.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Alexander had four sons and a daughter:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Alcetas II, future king of Macedon.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Perdiccas II, future king of Macedon.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Philip, father of Amyntas II

paragraph: BULLET::::- Menelaus.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Amyntas, whose son Arrhidaeus was the father of Amyntas III. He was thought to be the father of Balacrus, father of Meleager and grandfather of Arsinoe of Macedon

paragraph: BULLET::::- Stratonice, married by her brother Perdiccas II to Seuthes II of Thrace.
