paragraph: Patricius of Bayeux

paragraph: St. Patrice of Bayeux (Patricius) was the sixth bishop of Bayeux in the 5th century.

paragraph: Patrice de Bayeux was born in Bayeux in the suburb that corresponds to the present district Saint-Patrice, in a rich and Christian family and would have received a religious education. On the death of his parents, he would have given all his belongings to the clergy and the poor and transformed his birth house into a church (on the site of the present-day Saint Patrice church, which has since been completely rebuilt). Hermant puts forward the hypothetical hypothesis that the successive English invasions suffered by Normandy and the city of Bayeux would have helped to replace his cult with that of his contemporary, Patrick of Ireland. The life of Patrice de Bayeux remains uncertain and incomplete. According to Patrice Lajoye, he could have been an abbot in Evrecy. It is not even certain that Patrice was really bishop of Bayeux, although he was represented alongside the other first bishops of Bayeux on the vaults of the cathedral. His relics were transported to the cathedral of Lisieux.

paragraph: William, Viscount of Limoges

paragraph: William (died 1455) was Seigneur de Avesnes and Viscount of Limoges from 1404 until his death. He was also briefly Count of Périgord following the death of his brother John II, Count of Penthièvre, in 1454.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: William was the son of John I, Count of Penthièvre and Margaret de Clisson. As a younger son, William was intended to join the clergy. He attended the University of Angers and, while he was young, his family negotiated with the duke of Brittany to grant him the Bishopric of Vannes or Saint-Brieuc.

paragraph: After Margaret de Clisson and her sons failed in their plot to overthrow John V, Duke of Brittany and assert their claim to Brittany between 1420 and 1422, the Penthièvre family was forced to appear before both the French Parliament and the Breton Estates at Vannes. Two of William's brothers were found guilty of felonies and treachery on 16 February 1425 and their properties in Brittany were confiscated. William himself had already been given over to the duke of Brittany as a hostage on 29 July 1420.

paragraph: William remained a hostage at Auray for twenty-eight years, during which time he lost his sight. He was finally freed in 1448 after his family reconciled with Francis I, Duke of Brittany. In 1450, he married Isabelle de La Tour d'Auvergne, daughter of Bertrand V de La Tour d'Auvergne, with whom he had three daughters: Frances; Joan, who married John de Surgeres, seigneur de Balon; and Charlotte, who married Antoine de Villequier, seigneur de Montrésor. William inherited the County of Périgord from his brother John in 1454, but he died the following year. His daughter, Frances, succeeded him in Périgord and Limoges.

paragraph: Peter G. Van Winkle

paragraph: Peter Godwin Van Winkle (September 7, 1808April 15, 1872) was an American lawyer, businessman and politician. For many years a leading officer of the Northwestern Virginia Railroad, he became one of the founders of West Virginia and a United States Senator.

paragraph: Section::::Early and family life.

paragraph: Born in New York City to an established family, Van Winkle completed preparatory studies, studied law, and was admitted to the bar. He married Juliet Rathbone, the eldest daughter of William Palmer Rathbone (1784 - 1862) and his wife Martha Ming Valleau Rathbone (1793 - 1846), an influential family in West Virginia. Four years later, the Van Winkles had moved to Parkersburg, Virginia (now West Virginia). They had three children who survived to adulthood before Julia Van Winkle's death: Rathbone Van Winkle (1834 - 1870), Godwin Van Winkle (1836 - 1883), and Mary Van Winkle Blackford (1838 - 1927).

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: After further studies locally with lawyer and General John Jay Jackson Sr., Van Winkle began his legal practice in Parkersburg in 1835. He was president of the town board of trustees from 1844 until 1850. In 1850, Wood County voters also elected him to represent at the Virginia State constitutional convention in 1850. He was treasurer and later president of the Northwestern Virginia Railroad Co. beginning in 1852.

paragraph: After Virginia seceded from the Union, much to the distress of many in its northwestern corner, Wood County voters elected Van Winkle to the second Wheeling Convention in 1861. He helped organize the Restored Government of Virginia and also served in 1862 as an influential delegate to the convention which framed the constitution of West Virginia. He was also elected to the first session of the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1863. When West Virginia was admitted as a State into the Union, voters elected Van Winkle as a Unionist to the U.S. Senate, where he served from August 4, 1863, to March 3, 1869. While in the Senate, Van Winkle was chairman of the Committee on Pensions (Fortieth Congress).

paragraph: During President Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial, Van Winkle broke party ranks, along with nine other Republican senators and voted for acquittal. These 10 Republican senators were disturbed by how the proceedings had been manipulated in order to give a one-sided presentation of the evidence. Senators James Dixon, James Rood Doolittle, William Pitt Fessenden, Joseph S. Fowler, James W. Grimes, John B. Henderson, Lyman Trumbull, Peter G. Van Winkle, Daniel S. Norton, and Edmund G. Ross of Kansas, who provided the decisive vote, defied their party and public opinion and voted against impeachment (which failed by one vote). After the trial, Congressman Benjamin Butler conducted hearings concerning widespread reports that Republican senators had been bribed to vote for Johnson's acquittal. In Butler's hearings, and subsequent inquiries, some evidence indicated that some acquittal votes were acquired by promises of patronage jobs and cash. West Virginia Governor Arthur Boreman was elected to succeed Van Winkle.

paragraph: Van Winkle also served as a delegate to the Southern Loyalist Convention at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1866.

paragraph: Section::::Death and legacy.

paragraph: Van Winkle died in Parkersburg in 1872, survived by a son and daughter. He was buried beside his wife (whom he had survived by nearly three decades) in Riverview Cemetery.

paragraph: Marshall Van Winkle, Peter Van Winkle's grandnephew, was a U.S. Representative from New Jersey in the Fifty-ninth Congress.

paragraph: His former home at Parkersburg, now known as the Peter G. Van Winkle House, is a contributing property in the Julia-Ann Square Historic District., it's known as.

paragraph: As a junior, he was tabbed honorable mention All-Big 12 by the conference coaches for 2004. As a senior on UT's 2005 National Championship team, he was a key part of the UT pass defense that ranked eighth in the nation in yards allowed by game (172.0) and fourth in the nation in pass efficiency defense (96.7 rating). In Texas' 41-38 victory over USC for the National Championship Game, he made 8 tackles, including 6 solo tackles.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:2006 NFL Draft.

paragraph: Griffin was selected in the second round (number 48 overall) by the Minnesota Vikings. According to the UT football website:

paragraph: Griffin joins Michael Huff (No. 7 overall) as the second Longhorn defensive back chosen in the 2006 draft, marking the first time since 1997 two have been selected in the same draft when Bryant Westbrook was chosen by the Detroit Lions in the first round and Taje Allen was picked by the St. Louis Rams in the fifth round... Along with Huff, Griffin's selection gives the Longhorns a defensive back selection in four of the past five drafts... Griffin is the first Longhorn selected by the Vikings since DT John Haines in 1984. The Longhorns have now had at least three players drafted in each of the last four years.

paragraph: Griffin is the highest-drafted defensive back chosen by the Vikings since Orlando Thomas (number 42 overall) was selected in 1995. Counting Griffin, the Vikings have taken five players over the past five NFL drafts who have come into the NFL with a college national championship to their credit. The others (with school and draft year) are Bryant McKinnie (University of Miami – 2002), Kenechi Udeze (University of Southern California – 2004), Darrion Scott (Ohio State University – 2004), Dustin Fox (Ohio State University – 2005), and Percy Harvin (University of Florida – 2009).

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Minnesota Vikings.

paragraph: Griffin came into training camp with the expectation of being the team's nickel or dime back (3rd or 4th cornerback). When second year man Dovonte Edwards went down with a broken arm in the preseason many people believe it would be Griffin who would step into the Nickelback role that was vacated by Edwards when he went down with an injury. Instead the Vikings chose to go with Ronyell Whitaker. Griffin began getting more and more playing time as the season played on, eventually Griffin overtook a starting cornerback spot from prized free agent signing from two years earlier Fred Smoot. Griffin played well as a rookie and impressed the coaching staff. He recorded his first career interception against the Detroit Lions. During the 2007 season he struggled as a starter, recording zero interceptions and getting beat often. But in 2008, he played well, recording over 100 tackles and one interception.

paragraph: He was due to be a free agent after 2009 season. But on March 21, 2009, the Vikings re-signed Griffin to a five-year contract for a total of a little more than $25 million. The contract contained $10 million in guaranteed money.

paragraph: In 2009, he led the team with 4 interceptions, while recording 78 tackles and forcing three fumbles. The Vikings made it all the way to the NFC Championship against the New Orleans Saints. In the game, Griffin tore the Anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, which was successfully repaired in the offseason. Griffin rehabilitated throughout the pre-season and was able to return in 2010 to play in the Vikings' Week 3 victory over the Detroit Lions. However, during the Vikings' Week 5 loss against the New York Jets Griffin sustained an injury to his right knee (he had previously injured his left knee in the 2009 NFC Championship). However, the next day, after undergoing an MRI it was determined that Griffin had torn the ACL in his right knee and he was placed on season ending injured reserve.

paragraph: The Vikings terminated Griffin's contract on March 10, 2012.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Washington Redskins.

paragraph: Griffin signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Washington Redskins on March 16, 2012. Late in the first half of the 2012 season opener against the New Orleans Saints, he tackled Marques Colston as the latter was heading towards the endzone and caused him to fumble. The ball then rolled out of the back of the end zone and was ruled a touchback, which helped the Redskins beat the Saints, 40 to 32. On December 4, Griffin was suspended for four games due to violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. The next day it was confirmed that he tested positive for Adderall.

paragraph: With his suspension over, Griffin was returned to the Redskins' active roster on January 4, 2013.

paragraph: Kellen Vincent Clemens (born June 6, 1983) is a former American football quarterback who spent eleven seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football at Oregon.

paragraph: He has also been a member of the Washington Redskins, Houston Texans, St. Louis Rams, and San Diego / Los Angeles Chargers.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Born and raised in Burns in eastern Oregon, Clemens played high school football for the Burns Hilanders and led them to the Oregon state 3A championship game in 1999.

He was coached by Terry Graham using the run and shoot offense.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Clemens played college football at the University of Oregon in Eugene. He played for head coach Mike Bellotti while at Oregon. He assumed the role of starting quarterback in all 13 games in 2003 and responded by throwing for more touchdown passes and yards than any sophomore in school history, surpassing Dan Fouts—who had 16 touchdowns and 2,390 yards, in 1970. Clemens posted three rushing touchdowns, three passing touchdowns and a career-best 437 passing yards in a road victory over Washington State as a junior. As a senior in 2005, he broke his ankle while playing against Arizona. Despite missing remaining three games of the season, Clemens finished 2005 with 2,406 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, four interceptions, and a 152.87 passer efficiency rating. He finished his Oregon career with 7,555 passing yards, which ranked third in school history at the time before being passed up by Marcus Mariota in the 2014 season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Jets.

paragraph: Clemens was selected by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft, the 49th overall pick, to serve as the secondary quarterback to Chad Pennington. A healthy Pennington resulted in little playing time for Clemens in 2006. He made his NFL debut in relief appearance against the Jacksonville Jaguars, recording his first career pass attempt and rushing once for two yards in the 41–0 loss. He entered in a Week 14 31–13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, rushed once for eight yards but did not attempt a pass. He recorded only two attempts and 0 completions in his rookie season.

paragraph: Due to an injury to Pennington in the Jets's 2007 season opener against the New England Patriots, Clemens recorded his first completed pass in the NFL with a final record for the day of five complete passes on ten attempts in the 38–14 loss. Clemens made his first career start in Week 2 of the 2007 season. His effectiveness was minimized by the Ravens's defense for the first three quarters, with the Jets trailing 20–3 at one point. However, in the fourth quarter, Clemens led the Jets on a scoring drive that cut Baltimore's lead to 20–13. On the last drive, he attempted what would have been a game-tying touchdown pass to Jets wide receiver Justin McCareins, but the pass was dropped by McCareins and intercepted by the Ravens' Ray Lewis.

paragraph: His next appearance came in week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. A struggling Pennington was pulled by head coach Eric Mangini in the middle of the fourth quarter and replaced by Clemens. Clemens led two drives against the Buffalo defense. Down 13–3 and pressed for time, Clemens attempted to quickly move the Jets offense down the field but was intercepted twice. The following day, on October 29, 2007, Clemens was named the starting quarterback for the next game against the Washington Redskins. In the 23–20 loss, he had 226 passing yards and a passing touchdown. He finished the 2007 season with 1,529 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, and ten interceptions in 11 games.

paragraph: In 2008, Clemens was only on the field in two games to attempt five passes as the backup to Brett Favre. When Mike Nugent, the Jets's kicker, injured his thigh in the September 7 game against the Miami Dolphins, Clemens filled in as the team's placekicker, but was not called upon to kick.

paragraph: On August 26, 2009, Jet's head coach Rex Ryan announced that Mark Sanchez would be the starting quarterback for the 2009 season, a position left vacant after Brett Favre was released from the Jets in February. On December 3, Clemens was forced to come in against the Buffalo Bills after Mark Sanchez sprained his PCL. Clemens started the Jets's next game against the 1-11 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite an unexceptional personal performance by Clemens, the Jets were still able to pick up an important 26–3 victory.

paragraph: Clemens threw for 125 yards with no touchdowns in 2009 and played mostly when Mark Sanchez was injured. He was re-signed to a one-year contract for the 2010 season on April 13, but the only action he saw was in the Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills.

paragraph: On July 27, 2011, Clemens signed a one-year contract with the Washington Redskins where he competed for a backup role during the 2011 preseason. He was released by the team on September 3.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Houston Texans.

paragraph: Clemens was signed by the Houston Texans on November 23, 2011 after starting quarterback Matt Schaub was placed on injured reserve. Two weeks later, he was waived in order for the Texans to sign Jeff Garcia.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:St. Louis Rams.

paragraph: The St. Louis Rams claimed Clemens off of waivers from Houston on December 7. 2011.

paragraph: After an ankle sprain sidelined starting quarterback Sam Bradford and with backup A. J. Feeley out with a thumb injury, Clemens started on December 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With only 11 days to get familiar with the team and the offense, Clemens passed for 229 yards completing 25-of-36 passes. In that game, he completed a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Danario Alexander, his first NFL touchdown pass since Week 17 of the 2007 season with the Jets, but the Bengals won by a score of 20-13. Clemens started the final two games for the Rams, both losses to the Steelers and rival 49ers. He finished the 2011 season with two touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown, and was re-signed by the Rams.

paragraph: In the 2012 season, Clemens only saw action in two games against the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals. He completed one pass for 39 yards and had two rushes for five yards.

paragraph: After Bradford went down with a season-ending injury in Week 7 in 2013, Clemens started the final nine games, going 4-5 as the Rams' starter and finished with 1,673 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:San Diego / Los Angeles Chargers.

paragraph: Clemens signed a two-year contract with the San Diego Chargers on March 13, 2014. In the 2014 season, he only appeared in two games and completed one pass for 10 yards. Clemens threw his first touchdown as a Charger on September 27, 2015, a 19-yard pass to Keenan Allen against the Cincinnati Bengals.

paragraph: In the 2016 season, Clemens appeared in one game, a 38–7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, in relief of Philip Rivers at quarterback. In addition, he saw some playing time on special teams throughout the season.

paragraph: Clemens was re-signed to a one-year contract on March 9, 2017. On September 2, 2017, he was released by the Chargers, but was re-signed two days later. In the 2017 season, he remained in a relief role and completed six passes for 75 yards and an interception.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Statistics.

paragraph: "Source":

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Clemens grew up herding cattle in eastern Oregon on his family's ranch in Burns, where they own over 100 head of cattle. As a young boy, Kellen enjoyed horseback riding in his spare time.

paragraph: Clemens is an active and practicing Roman Catholic, and is married with four children with a strong religious devotion to the Holy Family of Nazareth. In a February 2012 interview with the National Catholic Register, he noted that his patron saint is Jesus Christ and has special religious devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. He also noted that he wears the Brown Scapular in connection to this religious faith.

paragraph: Asanga

paragraph: Asaṅga (, ; Romaji: "Mujaku") (fl. 4th century C.E.) was "one of the most important spiritual figures" of Mahayana Buddhism and the "founder of the Yogacara school". Traditionally, he and his half-brother Vasubandhu are regarded as the major classical Indian Sanskrit exponents of Mahayana Abhidharma, "Vijñanavada" (awareness only) thought and Mahayana teachings on the bodhisattva path.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: According to later hagiographies, Asaṅga was born as the son of a high caste father in Puruṣapura (present day Peshawar in Pakistan), which at that time was part of the ancient kingdom of Gandhāra. Current scholarship places him in the fourth century CE. He was perhaps originally a member of the Mahīśāsaka school or the Mūlasarvāstivāda school but later converted to Mahāyāna. According to some scholars, Asaṅga's frameworks for abhidharma writings retained many underlying Mahīśāsaka traits, but other scholars argue that there is insufficient data to determine which school he originally belonged to.

paragraph: In the record of his journeys through the kingdoms of India, Xuanzang wrote that Asaṅga was initially a Mahīśāsaka monk, but soon turned toward the Mahāyāna teachings. Asaṅga had a half-brother, Vasubandhu, who was a monk from the Sarvāstivāda school. Vasubandhu is said to have taken up Mahāyāna Buddhism after meeting with Asaṅga and one of Asaṅga's disciples.

paragraph: Asaṅga spent many years in serious meditation and study under various teachers but the narrative of the 6th century monk Paramārtha states that he was unsatisfied with his understanding. Paramārtha then recounts how he used his meditative powers (siddhis) to travel to Tuṣita Heaven to receive teachings from Maitreya Bodhisattva on emptiness, and how he continued to travel to receive teachings from Maitreya on the Mahayana sutras.

paragraph: Xuanzang (fl. c. 602 – 664), a Chinese monk who traveled to India to study in the Yogacara tradition tells a similar account of these events:

paragraph: Modern scholars disagree on whether the figure of Maitreya in this story is to be considered as Asaṅga's human teacher or as a visionary experience in meditation. Scholars such as Frauwallner held that this figure, sometimes termed Maitreya-nātha, was an actual historical person and teacher. Other scholars argue that this figure was the tutelary deity of Asaṅga ("Iṣṭa-devatā") as well as numerous other Yogacara masters, a point noted by the 6th century Indian monk Sthiramati. Whatever the case, Asaṅga's experiences led him to travel around India and propagate the Mahayana teachings. According to Taranatha's "History of Buddhism in India", he founded 25 Mahayana monasteries in India.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: Asaṅga went on to write some key treatises (shastras) of the Yogācāra school. Over time, many different works were attributed to him (or to Maitreya, with Asaṅga as transmitter), although there are discrepancies between the Chinese and Tibetan traditions concerning which works are attributed to him. Modern scholars have also problematized and questioned these attributions after critical textual study of the sources. The many works attributed to this figure can be divided into the three following groups.

paragraph: The first are three works which are widely agreed by ancient and modern scholars to be by Asaṅga:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Mahāyānasaṃgraha" (Summary of the Great Vehicle), a systematic exposition of the major tenets of the Yogacara school in ten chapters. Considered his magnum opus, survives in one Tibetan and four Chinese translations.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Abhidharma-samuccaya," a short summary of the main Mahayana Abhidharma doctrines, in a traditional Buddhist Abhidharma style similar to non-Mahayana expositions. Survives in Sanskrit. According to Walpola Rahula, the thought of this work is closer to that of the Pali "" than is that of the Theravadin Abhidhamma.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Xianyang shengjiao lun," variously retranslated into Sanskrit as "Āryadeśanāvikhyāpana, Āryapravacanabhāṣya, Prakaraṇāryaśāsanaśāstra", and "Śāsanodbhāvana." A work strongly based on the "Yogācārabhūmi". Only available in Xuanzang’s Chinese translation, but parallel Sanskrit passages can be found in the "Yogācārabhūmi."

paragraph: Section::::Works.:Attributed works of unsure authorship.

paragraph: The next group of texts are those that Tibetan hagiographies state were taught to Asaṅga by Maitreya and are thus known as the "Five Dharmas of Maitreya" in Tibetan Buddhist scholasticism. According to D.S. Ruegg, the "five works of Maitreya" are mentioned in Sanskrit sources from only the 11th century onwards. As noted by S.K. Hookham, their attribution to a single author has been questioned by modern scholars. The traditional list is:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Mahāyānasūtrālamkārakārikā", ("The Adornment of Mahayana sutras", Tib. "theg-pa chen-po'i mdo-sde'i rgyan"), which presents the Mahāyāna path from the Yogācāra perspective.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Dharmadharmatāvibhāga" ("Distinguishing Phenomena and Pure Being", Tib. "chos-dang chos-nyid rnam-par 'byed-pa"), a short Yogācāra work discussing the distinction and correlation ("vibhāga") between phenomena ("dharma") and reality ("dharmatā").

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Madhyāntavibhāgakārikā" ("Distinguishing the Middle and the Extremes", Tib. "dbus-dang mtha' rnam-par 'byed-pa"), 112 verses that are a key work in Yogācāra philosophy.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Abhisamayalankara" ( "Ornament for clear realization", "Tib. mngon-par rtogs-pa'i rgyan"), a verse text which attempts a synthesis of "Prajñaparamita" doctrine and Yogacara thought. There are differing scholarly opinions on authorship, John Makransky writes that it is possible the author was actually Arya Vimuktisena, the 6th century author of the first surviving commentary on this work. Makransky also notes that it is only the later 8th century commentator Haribhadra who attributes this text to Maitreya, but that this may have been a means to ascribe greater authority to the text. As Brunnholzl notes, this text is also completely unknown in the Chinese Buddhist tradition"."

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Ratnagotravibhaga" (Exposition of the Jeweled lineage, Tib. "theg-pa chen-po rgyud bla-ma'i bstan," a.k.a. "Uttāratantra śāstra)", a compendium on Buddha-nature attributed to Maitreya via Asaṅga by the Tibetan tradition. The Chinese tradition attributes it to a certain Sāramati (3rd-4th century CE), according to the Huayan patriarch Fazang. According to S.K. Hookham, modern scholarship favors Sāramati as the author of the RGV. He also notes there is no evidence for the attribution to Maitreya before the time of Maitripa (11th century). Peter Harvey concurs, finding the Tibetan attribution less plausible.

paragraph: According to Karl Brunnholzl, the Chinese tradition also speaks of five Maitreya texts (first mentioned in Dunlun’s "Yujia lunji"), "but considers them as consisting of the "Yogācārabhūmi, *Yogavibhāga" [now lost]", Mahāyānasūtrālamkārakā, Madhyāntavibhāga" and the "Vajracchedikākāvyākhyā.""

paragraph: While the "Yogācārabhūmi śāstra" (“Treatise on the Levels of Spiritual Practitioners”), a massive and encyclopaedic work on yogic praxis, has traditionally been attributed to Asaṅga or Maitreya "in toto", but most modern scholars now consider the text to be a compilation of various works by numerous authors, and different textual strata can be discerned within its contents. However, Asaṅga may still have participated in the compilation of this work.

paragraph: The third group of texts associated with Asaṅga comprises two commentaries: the "Kārikāsaptati", a work on the "Vajracchedikā", and the "Āryasaṃdhinirmocana-bhāṣya" (Commentary on the "Saṃdhinirmocana")"." The attribution of both of these to Asaṅga is not widely accepted by modern scholars.

paragraph: Daude de Pradas

paragraph: Daude, Deude, Daurde, or Daudé de Pradas (fl. 1214–1282) was a troubadour from Prades-Salars in the Rouergue not far from Rodez. He lived to an old age and left behind seventeen to nineteen "cansos", including twelve on courtly love, three about sexual conquest, one "tenso", one "planh" (on the death of Uc Brunenc), and a religious song. Only one melody of his entire oeuvre has survived.

paragraph: According to his "vida", he was a canon of Maguelonne. A canon and "magister" of the name "Deodatus de Pradas" or "Pratis" appears in many documents from Rodez in the same time period. Some scholars believe it is not likely that Daude was a canon at all, while some presume him to have been a canon, not at Maguelonne, but Santa Maria in Rodez. Daude is often found in the company of the Counts and Bishops of Rodez and was named vicar general of Rodez by Pope Clement IV (1266).

paragraph: According to his "vida", Daude was reputed as a "wise man in letters, with natural wit and invention", but because he was not inspired by love, his songs were not popular and consequently not sung. Daude also possessed a keen knowledge of raptors, and wrote a treatise on falconry entitled "Auzels Cassadors". He also stepped outside of the troubadour lyric to write a didactic poem ("ensenhamen") on the four cardinal virtues.

paragraph: Daude, in his love songs, expresses "amor" for a lady of higher rank in hope that "Merces" (mercy) will intercede for him. But when he finally encounters his "Joi Novel" (new joy) in her castle, her haughtiness is unbearable:

paragraph: Daude, like many troubadours, turns to "Bel Desir" (fair desire) for assistance, but he sometimes employs the term "bel desir" to refer to the lady's desire as well as his own and sometimes possibly even to a male confidante when his lover becomes troublesome.

paragraph: Daude's surviving music has some features in common with Gui d'Ussel, to whom he refers in his "tenso", but it is less motivically varied than Gui's. It, too, however, is through-composed. It is possible that Daude also had contact with Peire Cardenal or Guiraut Riquier in Rodez.

paragraph: Alberto Cabero

paragraph: Alberto Cabero Díaz (20 March 1874 – 13 October 1955) was a Chilean politician, President of the Chilean Senate and Member of Government Junta in 1932. He was a member of the Radical Party.

paragraph: He was born in Santiago, the son of Telésforo Cabero del Canto and of Filomena Díaz. He completed his studies in the Instituto Nacional, and then attended the Universidad de Chile, where he became a lawyer. He started his political career as the first mayor of the city of Río Claro. He was elected a deputy for Curicó (1921–1924) and a Senator for Talca (1924–1930) and Talca, Linares and Curico (1930–1932).

paragraph: At the time of the Socialist Republic of Chile in 1931, he was the President of the Senate. As such he took over as provisional vice president. He assumed on 26 July, and that same night he formed his cabinet, headed by a very reluctant Juan Esteban Montero as interior minister and Pedro Blanquier, the other key player, as Finance minister.

paragraph: When the ministers arrived on the next morning, Opazo resigned by decree on Montero. His entire administration had lasted less than 24 hours. The speed he demonstrated to get rid of the power earned him the nickname of "El Pasador" ("the relayer"), that accompanied him till his death.

paragraph: After his very brief administration, he was elected Senator for Curicó, Talca, Maule y Linares (1933–1937). He was Ambassador of Chile to the United States from 1939 to 1942. He died in Santiago on 13 October 1955.

paragraph: Wally Tax

paragraph: Wladimir "Wally" Tax (; 14 February 1948 – 10 April 2005) was a Dutch singer and songwriter. He was founder and frontman of the Nederbeat group The Outsiders (1959–1969) and the rock group Tax Free (1969–1971).

paragraph: After commercial and artistic success with The Outsiders in the late 1960s, he had a brief solo career in the 1970s, and then was a successful songwriter, producing a number of hit songs for Dutch artists. He faded into obscurity in the 1980s; after his death in 2005 two benefit concerts in Amsterdam proved his lasting popularity and influence.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Wladimir Tax was born on 14 February 1948 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. His Dutch father and his Russian Romani mother had met in a concentration camp during World War II. He grew up in Amsterdam and learned English at an early age from contacts with American sailors, for whom he acted as a pimp.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:The Outsiders.

paragraph: In 1959, at age 11, he was one of the founding members of the beat band The Outsiders. The band sang English lyrics, with Tax as the main songwriter; Tax sang and played guitar and harmonica. Even while playing with The Outsiders, Tax recorded a solo album (with a symphonic orchestra), "Love-In".

paragraph: The Outsiders reached a measure of success, opening up for The Rolling Stones in 1966 and scoring a number of hits in the Netherlands. They were one of the best-known bands of the Nederbeat movement — when they signed with Phonogram Records in 1968, "Billboard" reported on it. Leading what "Billboard" called "the leading Dutch beat group," Tax had a high-profile—he was reported to have the longest hair in the country, and lived a lavish lifestyle involving expensive dinners, chauffeur-driven cars, and friendships with Little Richard and Johnny Hallyday, as well as rumors of an affair with Brigitte Bardot.

paragraph: Although The Outsiders' records were not distributed in the United States, Tax did go overseas and made friends with notable musicians such as Tim Hardin, Richie Havens, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and attended the Woodstock Festival. He played with Hardin and Jimi Hendrix at the latter's Electric Ladyland Studio. As he explained in his 1998 autobiography, success came too quick for him, and alcohol and drugs took their toll, and combined with a lack of financial security (he admitted not being good at bookkeeping since his "way of life" had killed too many brain cells) the next decades of Tax's life were chaotic.

paragraph: After recording three albums, The Outsiders broke up in 1969.

paragraph: In 1997 The Outsiders came together for the last time to play a reunion tour in the Netherlands.

paragraph: The tour was short-lived because of Tax' unpredictable behavior.

paragraph: Jerome Blanes wrote "Outsiders by insiders" around this time, the official biography of the band.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Solo career.

paragraph: Tax, after briefly heading a band called Tax Free, went solo. He was accompanied, in succession, by Bamboule (1972), George Cash (1973), Watermen (1973), and The Mustangs (1976). In 1974, he won the Silver Harp, an award for musical talent and had significant success with a couple of solo singles, "Miss Wonderful" and "It ain't no use". The end of his playing career was "Let's Dance" (1977), which became a small hit in the Netherlands. Fourteen years after "Tax Tonight", in 1989, he recorded his fourth solo album with

paragraph: The Music. The album was very well received by critics but the sales were low. It takes until 2002 before his next and last solo effort will be released. On "The Entertainer" Tax made a musical return to his rock roots. Again well received by critics, "The Entertainer" was not the success Tax hoped for. On the album Tax sings about his life as 'an entertainer' who is mostly misunderstood by his public.

paragraph: Section::::Music career.:Songwriting.

paragraph: Afterward his playing career had ended, he concerned himself mainly with songwriting and wrote a number of hits for Dutch artists such as Lee Towers ("It's Raining in my Heart") and Champagne ("Valentino," "Oh Me Oh My Goodbye," and "Rock 'n Roll Star," the latter charting at #2 in the Netherlands and #83 in the United States).

paragraph: Section::::Personal decline and death.

paragraph: The 1980s saw his personal decline, starting with the slow death by cancer of his long-time partner Laurie Langenbach [she had a brief affair with Jimi Hendrix, when he was in Amsterdam in March 1967], who died in 1984—according to close friend , he never recovered from her death and for the next twenty years lived surrounded by her personal belongings. Efforts to revive a music career appear hampered by personal problems caused by a heavy alcohol addiction and tax problems.

paragraph: Tax died in 2005 in relative obscurity, bothered by financial and physical problems. He was buried in Amsterdam, after a gathering in Paradiso in his honor raised enough money for his funeral. A year later, a benefit concert was held in Paradiso to raise funds for a monument to be placed on his grave. The monument, three guitar necks crossing, continues to draw visitors.

paragraph: His biography, 'Wally Tax - Leven en Lijden van een Outsider', was written by Rutger Vahl and

paragraph: Hubert Westmoreland (January 28, 1915October 26, 2006) was a mechanic that became a car owner in the beginning of NASCAR. His role as a car owner ran from 1949 to 1964. In that time his cars were driven to four first -place finishes. His most notable victory was by Johnny Mantz, who drove his Plymouth to victory in the inaugural Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina. His best finish at Daytona Beach Road Course was third, although when Mantz won the 1950 Southern 500, it was like winning the Daytona 500. Daytona International Speedway was not around until 1959.
