paragraph: Al-Ash'ari

paragraph: Al-Ashʿarī (; full name: "Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Isḥāq al-Ashʿarī"; c. 874–936 (AH 260–324), reverentially "Imām al-Ashʿarī") was an Arab Sunni Muslim scholastic theologian and eponymous founder of Ashʿarism or Asharite theology, which would go on to become "the most important theological school in Sunni Islam".

paragraph: According to scholar Jonathan A.C. Brown, although "the Ash'ari school of theology is often called the Sunni 'orthodoxy,'" "the original ahl al-hadith, early Sunni creed from which Ash'arism evolved has continued to thrive alongside it as a rival Sunni 'orthodoxy' as well." According to Brown this competing orthodoxy exists in the form of the "Hanbali/über-Sunni orthodoxy".

paragraph: Al-Ashʿarī was notable for taking an intermediary position between the two diametrically opposed schools of theological thought prevalent at the time:

paragraph: He opposed both the Muʿtazilites, who advocated the extreme use of reason in theological debate, and the Zahirites, Mujassimites and Muhaddithin,

paragraph: who were entirely opposed to the use of reason or "kalam", and condemned any theological debate altogether.

paragraph: Al-Ashʿari's school eventually won "wide acceptance within Sunni Islam, the official theological creed of which came largely to be defined by Ashʿarī principles." Due to his efforts, Al-Ashʿarī came to be revered by Sunni Muslims for having successfully "integrated the rationalist methodology of the speculative theologians into the framework of orthodox Islam." He continues to be honored by the epithets "Imām al-mutakallimūn" ("Leader of the Scholastic Theologians") and "Imām ahl as-sunnah wa l-jamāʿah" ("Leader of the Sunnis").

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Al-Ash'ari was born in Basra, Iraq, and was a descendant of the famous companion of Muhammad, Abu Musa al-Ashari. As a young man he studied under al-Jubba'i, a renowned teacher of Muʿtazilite theology and philosophy. He remained a Muʿtazalite until his fortieth year when al-Ash'ari saw Muhammad in a dream 3 times in Ramadan.

paragraph: The first time, Muhammad told him to support what was related from himself, that is, the traditions (hadiths). Al-Ash'ari became worried as he had numerous strong proofs contradictory to the traditions. After 10 days, he saw Muhammad again: Muhammad reiterated that he should support the traditions. So Al-Ash'ari forsook Kalam and started following the traditions alone. On the 27th night of Ramadan, he saw Muhammad for the last time. Muhammad told him that he had not commanded him to forsake Kalam, he had only told him to support the traditions narrated from him (Muhammad). Thereupon Al-Ash'ari started to advocate the Hadith, finding proofs for these that he said he had not read in any books.

paragraph: After this experience, he left the Muʿtazalites and became one of its most distinguished opponents, using the philosophical methods he had learned. Al-Ash'ari then spent the remaining years of his life engaged in developing his views and in composing polemics and arguments against his former Muʿtazalite colleagues. He is said to have written up to three hundred works, of which only four or five are known to be extant.

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: After leaving the Muʿtazili school, and joining the side of Traditionalist theologians al-Ash'ari formulated the theology of Sunni Islam. He was followed in this by a large number of distinguished scholars, most of whom belonged to the Shafi'i school of law. The most famous of these are Abul-Hassan Al-Bahili, Abu Bakr Al-Baqillani, al-Juwayni, Al-Razi and Al-Ghazali. Thus Al-Ash'ari's school became, together with the Maturidi, the main schools reflecting the beliefs of the Sunnah.

paragraph: In line with Sunni tradition, al-Ash'ari held the view that a Muslim should not be considered an unbeliever on account of a sin even if it were an enormity such as drinking wine or theft. This opposed the position held by the Khawarij.

paragraph: Al-Ash'ari also believed it impermissible to violently oppose a leader even if he were openly disobedient to the commands of the sacred law.

paragraph: Al-Ash'ari spent much of his works opposing the views of the Muʿtazili school. In particular, he rebutted them for believing that the Qur'an was created and that deeds are done by people of their own accord. He also rebutted the Muʿtazili school for denying that Allah can hear, see and has speech. Al-Ash’ari confirmed all these attributes stating that they differ from the hearing, seeing and speech of creatures, including man.

paragraph: He was also noted for his teachings on atomism.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The 18th century Islamic scholar Shah Waliullah stated:

paragraph: Earlier major scholars also held positive views of al-Ash'ari and his efforts, among them Qadi Iyad and Taj al-Din al-Subki.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: The Ashari scholar Ibn Furak numbers Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari's works at 300, and the biographer Ibn Khallikan at 55; Ibn Asāker gives the titles of 93 of them, but only a handful of these works, in the fields of heresiography and theology, have survived. The three main ones are:

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Maqālāt al-islāmīyīn", it comprises not only an account of the Islamic sects but also an examination of problems in "kalām", or scholastic theology, and the Names and Attributes of Allah; the greater part of this works seems to have been completed before his conversion from the Muʿtaziltes.

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Kitāb al-luma"

paragraph: BULLET::::- "Kitāb al-ibāna 'an usūl al-diyāna". The authenticity of this book has been called into question. For example, Richard McCarthy, in his Theology of Ash'ari, writes, "...I am unable to subscribe wholeheartedly to the proposition that the ibāna, in the form in which we have it, is a genuine work of al-Ash'ari," comparing the creed in that book to the creed found in al-Ash'ari's Maqālāt.

paragraph: However, George Makdisi and Ignác Goldziher consider this work as genuine, and Salafists maintain that the book marks al-Ash'ari's late repentance and his return to the beliefs of the salaf. Salafists expound that the book was written after he recanted his earlier beliefs and accepted Athari beliefs, following his encounter with the Hanbalite scholar Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali al-Barbahari, and was primarily an attempt to call his previous followers back to Islam. Professor Sherman Jackson recounts that Ibn Taymiyyah, citing the Ash'ari Historian Ibn `Asakir, presented Al-Ashari's words in the Ibāna as a defense during his trial on charges of anthropomorphism.

paragraph: Andronikos I of Trebizond

paragraph: Andronikos I Gidos or Andronicus I Gidus (), was an Emperor of Trebizond (1222–1235). He is the only ruler of Trebizond who was not a blood relative of the founder of that state, Alexios I Megas Komnenos. George Finlay suggests he may be the same Andronikos who was a general of Theodore I Laskaris. During his reign, Trebizond successfully withstood a siege of the city by the Seljuk Turks, and later supported the Shah of Khwarizm in the latter's unsuccessful battle with the Seljuks.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: The Gidos family appears briefly in Byzantine history at the turn of the 12th/13th century. The etymology of the surname is uncertain, but one view considers it to be from the Greek word for "goat" ('Gida' γίδα f., γίδι), another speculative view suggests that the etymology of the surname may be of Latin origin, and is the hellenized form of the Italian name "Guido". This in turn led some scholars to theorize that there may be a connection with the Gidos family and Guy/Guido, a son of the Norman conqueror of southern Italy, Robert Guiscard, who defected to the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos (ruled 1081–1118) centuries earlier, entered his service and possibly married into the imperial family. Byzantine sources do not treat the family as having a foreign origin and it has not been possible to demonstrate any connection with the son of Robert Guiscard or a Latin origin. W. Hecht casts doubt on a Latin origin of the family.

paragraph: Apart from the "megas domestikos" Alexios Gidos, who lived in the 12th century, the only other prominent individual bearing the surname "Gidos" is an Andronikos Gidos, a general of the Nicaean emperor Theodore I Laskaris, who defeated the Latin allies of David Komnenos (along with his brother Alexios the co-founder of the Empire of Trebizond) in 1206. Finlay first suggested that the general should be identified with the later Trapezuntine emperor, a suggestion adopted by many Byzantine historians, in the words of Anthony Bryer, "for want of any other candidate". Bryer continues, "The name Gidos (Gidon) is sufficiently rare to make the proposal plausible, indeed one wonders whether it was on the way to becoming an epithet in itself," then provides a number of examples of "Gidos" being used in the Pontic region as a synonym for "guardian."

paragraph: On the death of the Emperor Alexios, control of the empire passed over Alexios' oldest son, John in favor of Andronikos. The steps that led to Andronikos' ascension have not been recorded. Finlay assumes that "the hereditary principle" of succession had not become common practice for the Empire of Trebizond at this point. Although William Miller assumes that John was not old enough to assume the throne, one primary source attests that more than one son was, indeed, old enough to do so: during the siege of Sinope, according to Ibn Bibi, when Kaykaus I told the city that unless they surrendered he would kill Alexios, who was his prisoner, the inhabitants replied that "he has grown sons in Trebizond who are capable of governing. We will elect one of them as our ruler and will not surrender the country to the Turks." Miller describes Andronikos Gidos as "a shrewd man of great experience in warfare". His experience at war served the new-born polity well in facing a serious attack on the capital in 1224.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage to Komnene.

paragraph: Andronikos married a daughter of Alexios I of Trebizond and Theodora Axuchina, whose first name is unknown. Komnene is the female form of "Komnenos," her family name. Her siblings included John I of Trebizond and Manuel I of Trebizond.

paragraph: Section::::The Seljuks.

paragraph: The Seljuk Turks occupied Sudak in the Crimea and constructed a fortress there between 1220 and 1222. In 1223 the Seljuk governor of Sinope sent ships to attack the coast of Trapezuntine Crimea (the so-called Perateia) in an effort to divert trade into his port. A ship carrying the annual tribute of Perateia, with the archon of the province and a number of notables from Cherson on board, was driven by a storm into Sinope's harbour. In violation of a treaty agreed to by the Turks and the Empire of Trebizond in 1220, the city's governor, Hetum, seized the vessel with its cargo, passengers, and crew and also sent a fleet to plunder Perateia. In response, Andronikos assembled a fleet and dispatched it against Sinope. His men plundered up to the walls of the "mart" and killed or captured the crews of the ships lying in the harbour. They rescued the captive archon, his ship and his money, as well as all the plunder carried off from Cherson.

paragraph: Upon learning of this attack, Sultan Melik marched on Trebizond. In response to the sultan's threat, Andronikos summoned all his troops and fortified the passes leading to the city. The emperor inflicted considerable loss upon the advance guard of the sultan before withdrawing within the walls of the city, which were already accounted impregnable although they did not yet extend to the sea. At this point the siege of the city began.

paragraph: The sultan made camp near the Monastery of Saint Eugenios, and set fire to the suburbs outside the walls. A string of attacks and counterattacks followed over the next few days (punctuated by a Seljuk embassy being shown the ample stores inside the city) ended with an attempt to storm the walls by night. This last attack failed when a sudden thunderstorm, accompanied by torrential rain and hail, terrified and scattered the besiegers. Some rode over the cliffs in the dark into the ravines, others were caught by swollen torrents from the mountains.

paragraph: Melik was brought a prisoner to Trebizond, where Andronikos received him with honor. A pact was made between them that in the future the tie of vassalage, which had previously bound Trebizond to Iconium, should cease, and that the Trapezuntines should no longer be obliged either to perform military service to the sultan or to send tribute or gifts. Melik is reported to have been so impressed by this moderation that he performed more than the treaty required by sending an annual present of Arab horses to Andronikos and money to the Monastery of St Eugenios.

paragraph: Section::::Cult of St Eugenios.

paragraph: The siege of 1224 is the source of two early legends of the St Eugenios cult. Fear of the army of Melik is said to have driven many Trapezuntines to the sanctuaries of Panagia Chrysokephalos and church of Saint Eugenios. In the first legend, the account of the siege compiled by John Lazaropoulos, who, under the name of Joseph, was Metropolitan of Trebizond in the second half of the fourteenth century, narrates the legend that a further ruse was perpetrated by the outraged St Eugenios, who appeared to Melik, the profaner of his shrine, in the guise of mayor of the city, who held its keys, and pretended to have been sent by the suffering citizens to invite him to enter. The Sultan's suspicions were calmed by his astrologers, who told him that his entry into the city was written in the stars. In the second, Melik fled, only to fall into the hands of the mountaineers from Matzouka, and 150 years later a shrine erected to St Eugenios still marked the spot of his capture. Traditional accounts of the siege emphasise the sultan's threats to destroy churches, especially the monastery of St Eugenios, even though destroying churches was not usual Seljuk practice. The church of the Panagia Chrysokephalos and St Eugenios both grew richer from the spoils of the siege.

paragraph: Section::::The Khwarizmshah and the Mongols.

paragraph: The independence of Trebizond lasted only until 1230. Jalal-ad-din, the Sultan of Khwarizm, invaded Anatolia in a direct challenge to the Sultanate of Iconium. Jalal-ad-din, who had conquered Georgia in the 1220s, was now a neighbour of Trebizond. Andronikos considered neutrality impossible and made an alliance with the Khwarizmshah, and agreed to war with the Seljuks. Many of Jalal-ad-din's troops, after their defeat at the Battle of Yassıçemen in 1230, sought refuge at Trebizond, that the Trapezuntine contingent had assisted the Shah in that battle.

paragraph: The alliance with Jalal ad-Din cost Andronikos the loss of the privileges which he had gained in his treaty with Kaykaus. Trebizond once more became a vassal to the Sultan of Iconium. About 1240 Vincent de Beauvais reports the ruler of Trebizond used to send the sultan 200 lances (1,000 men). Nor was this the only loss of this reign.

paragraph: The Mongols occupied a large part of Georgia. Iberia and Lazica, which had been subject to Trebizond, whose eastern frontier had been Soteropolis, separated themselves from the empire and formed an independent kingdom of Imereti under David VI Narin, son of the Georgian Queen Rusudan.

paragraph: Section::::Coinage.

paragraph: Andronikos is the earliest Emperor of Trebizond whose coins have survived. A number of bronze trachea (also called scyphates) have been identified as having been struck during his reign. These bear the image of the Virgin Mary seated on a throne and holding an icon of the Christ Child—somewhat similar to the obverses of the later aspers of Manuel I—while on the reverse appears an emperor with a forked beard and Christ standing beside him with is hand raised in benediction.

paragraph: Fujiwara no Fuhito

paragraph: Fujiwara no Fuhito (藤原 不比等: 659 – September 13, 720) was a powerful member of the imperial court of Japan during the Asuka and Nara periods. Second son of Fujiwara no Kamatari (or, according to one theory, of Emperor Tenji), he had sons by two women, and those sons were the founders of the four principal lineages of the Fujiwara clan: the South, North, Ceremonial, and Capital lineages. Also, he had four daughters by two other women. three by Kamohime, one by Tachibana no Michiyo. One daughter by Kamohime became Emperor Monmu's wife Miyako, who in turn gave birth to Emperor Shōmu. The daughter by Michiyo became the empress of his grandson Shōmu, Empress Kōmyō.

paragraph: During the reign of Emperor Monmu, the government ordered that only the descendants of Fuhito could bear the Fujiwara surname and could be appointed in the Office of Dajokan, the center of administratives.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Fuhito was 13 years old when the Jinshin incident occurred. His father Kamatari had been a strong supporter of Emperor Tenji, but Kamatari had already died and Fuhito was too young to be appointed a governmental officer, so he was not involved in this political conflict. In 688 he appeared first as a courtier.

paragraph: In 697 Prince Karu, the son of Prince Kusakabe and therefore grandson of Emperor Tenmu and Empress Jitō, was appointed crown prince. Fuhito supported this appointment strongly and gained the favor of Empress Jitō. After that, his position in the court rose steadily. In 701 Prince Obito, later the emperor Shōmu was born by Miyako. Fuhito succeeded in persuading the court to appoint Obito the crown prince, and made his other daughter a wife of Obito. Until then only a royal lady could be promoted to the empress, but he succeeded in gaining his daughter the position of empress of Obito by the emperor Shōmu. It was the first empress who did not derive from the imperial household.

paragraph: He moved Yamashina-dera, the Buddhist temple which was the main temple his clan supported, to Nara and renamed it Kōfuku-ji. After his death, Kasuga shrine, the main Shinto shrine of the Fujiwara clan, was settled near Kofuku-ji in 768.

paragraph: He played a role in the establishment of the state law, "ritsuryō", in Japan. He participated in the edition called Taihō Ritsuryō. He also joined in making its revision, the "Yōrō ritsuryō". Before its completion, he died in the summer of 720. When he died, he was appointed Udaijin, one of the ministers.

paragraph: After his death the court honored him with two titles Bunchu Kō (文忠公) and "Tankai Kō" (淡海公) and with the office of Daijō-daijin, the highest office of the court.

paragraph: He had four sons: Fujiwara no Muchimaro, Fujiwara no Fusasaki (681–737), Fujiwara no Umakai and Fujiwara no Maro. His son Fusasaki would become the ancestor of the regent line of the Fujiwara clan.

paragraph: Christian Landenberger

paragraph: Christian Adam Landenberger (7 April 1862, Ebingen - 13 February 1927, Stuttgart) was a German Impressionist painter and a Professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart. He is especially known for his landscapes.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was the second in a family of nine children. His parents operated a haulage business. He began his art studies at the Royal Art School of Stuttgart in 1879. From 1883 to 1887, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, where he had his first exposure to the new ideas in art that were circulating there. In 1890, he had his first public display at the Munich International Art Exhibition in the Glaspalast and, two years later, became one of the founding members of the Munich Secession. He exhibited regularly until 1916. In 1895, he started a private art school and taught drawing at the Munich Association of Women Artists from 1899 to 1905. At that time, he became a Professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.

paragraph: Section::::Style and technique.

paragraph: At first, he created realistic canvases using a dark palette. After 1890, he used brighter colors with lighting effects and broad brushstrokes. He is considered to have been one of the pioneers of German plein-air painting. From 1893 to 1915, he worked on a themed series of paintings he called "Bathing Boys". His landscapes were accomplished in Norway and along the Dutch sea coast as well as in Southern Germany. After 1919, he began to produce etchings of a religious nature.

paragraph: Shawn Christensen

paragraph: Shawn Christensen is a musician, filmmaker, and artist. He is a graduate of Pratt Institute, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration and graphic design. Christensen was the frontman of the indie rock band Stellastarr. In 2013, he won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for his 2012 short film "Curfew".

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Shawn Christensen was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. Christensen's father was an engineer and his mother was a librarian, with him being their only child. Christensen's first experience and inspiration with film occurred when he watched "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) with his father, after which he began developing flip books. His favorite pictures were from the 1970s, including "Chinatown" (1974), "Nashville" (1975), "Taxi Driver" (1976), "Network" (1976) and "Manhattan" (1979). However, Christensen professed "The Seventh Seal" (1957) to be the most influential film that would inspire his eventual career in filmmaking.

paragraph: After graduating from high school, Christensen enrolled at Pratt Institute, where he pursued a degree in graphic design and illustration. While at Pratt, Christensen filled his weekends with acting classes, where he befriended the younger Paul Wesley, who was sixteen at the time. Throughout his time studying, Christensen was the lead vocalist and lead guitar in a hobbyist band called Ghistor, composed of himself, bassist Amanda Tannen and drummer Arthur Kremer. After Christensen graduated from Pratt with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration and graphic design, the band disbanded. As his first venture in his post-college career, Christensen produced and sold abstract-realistic paintings generally themed around prominent rock music figures. He was commissioned for clients including the journals "New York Metropolis" and "The Village Voice".

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Stellastarr (2000-2009).

paragraph: In March 2000, Christensen reunited with Tannen, Kremer and the new addition of Michael Jurin- who took up the lead guitar position while Christensen switched to rhythm guitar- to form the indie rock band Stellastarr, (stylized as "stellastarr*). On July 3, 2000, the band had their debut performance with their all-original songs composed by Christensen at Luna Lounge on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Over the next three years, the band gradually rose in prominence in New York City, with notable headlining performances at venues like Mercury Lounge and Bowery Ballroom. In May 2003, Stellastarr signed with RCA Records, allowing Christensen and the other band members to focus on music as their careers, though Christensen continued to receive art commissions. Under the RCA label, Stellastarr released an eponymous album in September 2003, which featured two standout singles, "Jenny" and "My Coco", that were featured in "Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam" and "MVP Baseball 2004", respectively.

paragraph: Stellastarr released "Harmonies for the Haunted", their second and final album under RCA, on September 13, 2005. The album received mixed reviews, with critics citing it as being a generally inferior rendition of new wave music. Additionally, the lyrics of the songs from the album were considered too personal and introverted around Christensen, which was a subject of contention for both proponents and critics of "Harmonies for the Haunted". However, Christensen's progression as a singer since the debut album was praised, with his tone being noted for having matured and become more consistent beyond his shifting between falsetto and baritone vocal registers. After a four-year hiatus, Stellastarr released their third and final album, "Civilized", with their personal imprint label Bloated Wife Records, on July 7, 2009. Though the album received generally mixed reviews, it was praised for being well-produced. Christensen's vocal performance was praised, with his range noted for being able to competently deliver deep bellows and high falsettos. Following the release of "Civilized", Stellastarr unofficially went on indefinite hiatus.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Filmmaking (2009-present).

paragraph: While Stellastarr was on the Hot Fuss Tour alongside The Killers throughout the United States in 2004, Christensen collaborated with his friend Jason Dolan on a feature length spec script for a drama called "Sidney Hall", which he shared with Paul Wesley, who subsequently presented it to William Morris Endeavor, which signed both Christensen and Dolan. Christensen and Dolan would further collaborate on several other spec scripts during the mid-2000s, including a psychological thriller called "Enter Nowhere". Christensen independently penned several other screenplays, including one for an Alfred Hitchcock-inspired thriller called "Abduction" and a science-fiction drama called "The Karma Coalition". Both the screenplays for "Sidney Hall" and "The Karma Coalition" were sold in 2008, with the former being acquired by Scott Free Productions and the latter being acquired by Warner Bros. for $1.5 million, making it one of the biggest spec script sales of the year.

paragraph: On February 10, 2010, Christensen's screenplay for "Abduction" was solicited to a number of studios, with actor Taylor Lautner attached to star. By the beginning of the next work day, two studios had already begun bidding on the project, which continued on for a week, until Lionsgate Films won the bidding war for nearly $1 million. Lionsgate hired writer Jeffrey Nachmanoff to rewrite the screenplay and the film began production the following July. Over the winter holidays of 2010, film producer Jack Heller contacted Christensen and Dolan about adapting their unproduced screenplay for "Enter Nowhere", to which they convinced him to direct it himself, with them serving as executive producers. In September 2011, "Enter Nowhere" was acquired by Lionsgate for a direct-to-DVD release, prior to its premiere at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival the following month. "Abduction" had a wide release on September 23, 2011, to extremely critical reviews.

paragraph: Disillusioned from having his screenplays retrofitted and adapted by studios that did not share his creative perspective, Christensen resolved to reboot his filmmaking career and focus on directing his own works. He promptly wrote a screenplay in 2011 for a short film for him to direct and co-star in called "Curfew", about a suicidal uncle taking care of his precocious niece for his overburdened sister. Christensen cast Fátima Ptacek as his co-star and utilizing crew members from his previous short called "Brink" (2011), shot "Curfew" over the course of a week. Two days prior to shooting a poignant dance scene, negotiations with the artists behind the dance's song fell through, resulting in the cast members dancing to the original song, while Christensen would independently compose an original single to replace it called "Sophia So Far". For two weeks, editor Evan Henke edited "Curfew", before Christensen took over and sporadically edited the film on his MacBook Pro in his living room throughout the remainder of 2011. "Curfew" premiered at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival on January 28, 2012 and was followed up by critical acclaim, numerous festival screenings and awards for Christensen's acting, directing and writing. At the 85th Academy Awards, "Curfew" won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

paragraph: Prior to "Curfew" mainstream success, Paul Wesley took an interest in the short film's intellectual property and together with Christensen and his creative partner, Damon Russell, collaborated to develop a feature-length adaptation. The then-untitled adaptation cast Wesley, as well as Emmy Rossum and Ron Perlman, to the principal cast that included Christensen and Ptacek. The film began principal photography on a shoestring budget in mid-summer of 2013 and continued for nineteen days. The film, revealed to be titled "Before I Disappear", premiered at South by Southwest on March 10, 2014 and won the audience award for Best Narrative Feature. "Before I Disappear" went on to have a successful festival run, with distinctions such as an official selection at the 71st Venice International Film Festival, though the critical reception was not as positive as "Curfew", with the general consensus being that the content not in the short was not as substantive. IFC Films was announced to have acquired the North American distribution rights for "Before I Disappear" in August 2014 and the following November, the film was released on video on demand and given a limited theatrical release.

paragraph: Per the Writers Guild of America, East Separated Rights, the rights to "Sidney Hall", which had not seen active development for five years, reverted to Christensen in 2014. Christensen opted to independently produce "Sidney Hall" through Jonathan Schwartz's Super Crispy Entertainment banner, as well as his own Fuzzy Logic Pictures banner. Christensen cast Logan Lerman as the titular character, with a supporting cast that included Elle Fanning, Kyle Chandler, Michelle Monaghan, Nathan Lane and Margaret Qualley. The film was shot between April and May 2016 and took place between New York and New Mexico. "Sidney Hall" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, in Park City, Utah on January 25, 2017. "Sidney Hall" was announced to have been acquired for distribution by A24 and DirecTV in April 2017, with DirecTV providing an exclusive pre-release prior to a theatrical release by A24. The film, re-titled ""The Vanishing of Sidney Hall"", had its theatrical release on March 2, 2018.

paragraph: Immediately following the premiere of "The Vanishing of Sidney Hall" at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, Christensen began work about the college basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian. Christensen was recruited by his friend, who had secured the film rights to Tarkanian's life from his son, Danny Tarkanian. In April 2018, the completed screenplay was delivered for review to the Tarkanian family.

paragraph: Fyodor Kon

paragraph: Fyodor Savelyevich Kon (; fl. 1585–1600) was a 16th-century Russian military engineer and architect who built the Smolensk Kremlin (1597–1602) and the Bely Gorod fortification ring of Moscow (1585–1593).

paragraph: The exact year and circumstances of his birth and early years remain unknown. Kon, as a mature man, and his relatives living in Moscow appear to be affiliated with the Boldino Monastery near Dorogobuzh, as evidenced by records of their donations to the monastery. Thus, it is assumed that Kon's ancestors came to Moscow from the Dorogobuzh area.

paragraph: The architect used the nickname "Kon" (Russian for stallion) as early as in 1584, as evidenced by his written plea to Ivan the Terrible. According to this account, Kon ran away to a "foreign land" and learned construction crafts there, specifically emphasizing his skills in fortifications like city walls, dams, ponds, moats, and "secrets" (underground tunnels). Kon received a public beating for his defection but was soon assigned to lead the construction of Bely Gorod, a 10-kilometer outer ring of Moscow fortress that stood in the path of present-day Boulevard Ring. His best known project, the Kremlin of Smolensk, was launched by Boris Godunov in 1597.

paragraph: Fyodor Kon has been the subject of an eponymous poem by Dmitri Kedrin (1940).

paragraph: Isabel Iacona

paragraph: Isabel Iacona (born Buenos Aires, 1955) is an Argentine artist known for her detailed paintings of enlarged flowers and pop portraits of people and pets. She uses several mediums: oil on canvas, mixed techniques, watercolors and drawings. Her works have been commissioned in Europe and the Americas and she has lived in several countries.

paragraph: Section::::Childhood and education.

paragraph: As a child, Iacona learnt drawing with the Argentine Informalist artist Enrique Barilari, who was a friend of her father's. Her father´s work for a shipping company meant the family moved a lot. She was later mentored by Leopoldo Presas, a member of the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes de Argentina (National Academy of Fine Arts) and President of Sociedad Argentina de Artistas Plásticos. She also studied with Julio Güero, Maria Luisa Manasero, and Ana Eckell, who represented Argentina at 1997 Venice Biennale. She completed her school education at Northlands School and got her college degree at the Santa Ana School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires in 1980. Later Iacona attended the Sorbonne in Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: During the 80s, Iacona moved to Punta del Este, Uruguay where she worked as a professional landscape designer planning and designing gardens and parks. This later became the basis of her floral art. She would work during the day, and paint at night. Her flowers are a synthesis of what she sees, rather than photorealistic renditions of her subjects.

paragraph: In the late 80s Iacona moved back to Argentina where she started showing her paintings in Buenos Aires galleries. She also participated in the Centro de Arte y Comunicación (CAYC) Biennal organized by art critic Jorge Glusberg. In 1990, the Argentine Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo selected one of her works, "Sunset Flowers", as a state present to China. It became one of the first works by an Argentinian artist in the Hangzhou Art Center´s collection.

paragraph: In 1992 she moved to Kinsale, Ireland to participate in a collective exhibition which lead to a year of work there. In 1993, she moved to Paris to work on her flower artworks and commissioned portraits. Her work then took her to America where she first lived in Austin, Texas where she worked on a site-specific work for a Catholic chapel. After Austin, she spent two years in New Orleans, before moving to New York in 1996 where she continued to work till 1999. In 1998, one of her works was selected to participate in the Salón Nacional de Artes Plásticas at Palais de Glace, Buenos Aires. That year, the exhibition was held in the city of Paraná, Entre Ríos.

paragraph: With the nomination for Salón Nacional, she traveled to Argentina and decided to stay and reconnect with her Argentine roots and fellow artists. She studied aesthetics with professor and researcher Lucas Salvador Fragasso. "El debate estético contemporáneo" (Contemporary Aesthetics Debate) evolved around concepts such as aesthetic experience, artistic autonomy, artwork analysis based on philosophic texts from Adorno, Benjamin, Heidegger and others such as Hal Foster, Georges Didi-Huberman and Rosalind Krauss. In 2000 she gave birth to her daughter. During that period, she started painting flowers on larger canvases and many of her works focused on pop portraits of children, commissioned by friends and others. By 2014, requests for commissioned works from Europe had accumulated and she and her daughter moved to London, returning to Argentina in 2016.

paragraph: Marshmello

paragraph: Christopher Comstock (born May 19, 1992), known professionally as Marshmello, is an American electronic music producer and DJ. He first gained international recognition by releasing remixes of songs by American DJ duo Jack Ü and Russian-German DJ Zedd. He is best known for his collaborations with numerous artists, as well as the songs "Silence", "Wolves", "Friends", and "Happier", all of which have been certified multi-platinum in several countries and appeared in the Top 30 of the "Billboard" Hot 100.

paragraph: His debut studio album, "Joytime", was released in January 2016, which included the lead single and Marshmello's debut single "Keep It Mello". Marshmello's second song in 2016, a platinum-certified single titled "Alone", was released in May via the Canadian record label Monstercat. Having peaked on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 at number 60, it became his first single to be certified platinum in the US and Canada with over a million copies of certified units. That year, he released three subsequent singles. In 2017, after releasing singles such as "Chasing Colors", "Twinbow" and "Moving On", Marshmello collaborated with American R&B singer Khalid to release "Silence" as a single, which was certified platinum and multi-platinum in eight countries. Succeeding another single, one of his best-selling singles, a collaboration with American singer Selena Gomez, titled "Wolves" was released.

paragraph: His second single of 2018, titled "Friends", a collaboration with British singer Anne-Marie, was released. Months later, his second studio album, "Joytime II", was released with singles "Tell Me" and "Check This Out". Marshmello's highest-charting song on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and in the United Kingdom, titled "Happier", a collaboration with British band Bastille, was released in August. He was named by "Forbes" in eighth place on their annual ranking of the world's highest-paid DJs in 2017 as he earned $21 million in the twelve months prior June 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2015–2016: Early career and "Joytime".

paragraph: Marshmello posted his first original song "Wavez" to his SoundCloud page in the early months of 2015. As he released more songs, he began to receive support from musicians such as Skrillex, who reposted his song "Find Me" on SoundCloud. Shortly after, he made performances at New York's Pier 94, Pomona, California's HARD Day of the Dead festival, and Miami Music Week. He is managed by Moe Shalizi of Red Light Management. Having had an image of masking himself with a white bucket, Marshmello was frequently suggested to be Chris Comstock, an American DJ who was better known as Dotcom at the time, because their musical styles are similar.

paragraph: Marshmello released his debut studio album "Joytime", consisting of 10 songs, via his label Joytime Collective on January 8, 2016. One single was released from the album, titled "Keep It Mello", featuring Mexican rapper Omar Linx, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album peaked at number five on "Billboard"'s Dance/Electronic Songs chart, number fourteen on the US Heatseeker Albums chart and forty-one on the Independent Albums chart.

paragraph: Marshmello debuted on the Canadian independent record label Monstercat with the release of "Alone", which appeared on the label's compilation album "Monstercat 027 – Cataclysm". The song's accompanying music video, released to YouTube, has received over 1.06 billion views as of December 2018. The song became his first to debut on the "Billboard" Hot 100 as it peaked at number sixty alongside charting on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart at number nine and the Canadian Hot 100 at number fifty-six, which was also his first in Canada. It was also certified platinum in both Canada by Music Canada and the United States by RIAA.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2016–2018: "Silence", "Wolves", "Friends", and "Joytime II".

paragraph: Marshmello performed at Electric Daisy Carnival 2016 in Las Vegas on June 19. In a gimmick attempted by Marshmello and Dutch DJ Tiësto, the latter who wore the same clothes as the former on stage, took off his helmet presenting himself as Marshmello. It was later regarded as a publicity stunt by fans and the media due to their conflicting tour dates and a photo of "the two helmeted DJs hanging out together pre-show".

paragraph: He announced the Ritual Tour on Twitter, in which he performed in several countries including the United States, China, South Korea, India and Paraguay from late September until early January of the following year. The tour was accompanied with his debut on dubstep musician Skrillex's Owsla label, with a single titled "Ritual", in which vocalist Wrabel was featured. An official music video for the song was published to YouTube. Soon after, Marshmello launched his own record label named Joytime Collective and recruited fellow DJ and producer Slushii as the first signee on its roster.

paragraph: Marshmello collaborated with Ookay to release the single "Chasing Colors", featuring vocals by American singer Noah Cyrus. He later collaborated with Slushii to release the single "Twinbow", a song previously only known to the public as a snippet. During the mid-year, his third single of the year titled "Moving On" was released, having debuted two years before receiving the official release. A music video for the song was also published, having received 169 million views as of December 2018. Months later, Marshmello announced upcoming collaborations with American hip hop recording artist Blackbear and Demi Lovato. The collaborations, however, were never released officially as of December 2018. Following that, Marshmello released "Love U" as a single for free as appreciation to his fans. The song was described by "Billboard" as a "gritty dance-pop single with a pounding bass line and helium-breathed vocals."

paragraph: His next single, announced on Twitter, was a collaboration with American R&B singer Khalid titled "Silence", which was released on August 11, 2017 via RCA Records. The song appeared on the Top 200 in over 28 countries. It topped the Dance charts in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and charted in the Top 10 of more than fifteen countries such as Germany, Sweden and Norway. It also appeared on the year-end charts of Hungary, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Additionally, it was certified multi-platinum in many countries. Among them were platinum by BPI (United Kingdom) and BM (Germany), double platinum by BEA (Belgium), RMNZ (New Zealand) and RIAA (United States), triple platinum by MC (Canada), a quadruple platinum by SRIA (Sweden) and a quintuple platinum by ARIA (Australia).

paragraph: Later in the year, he released his collaboration with American singer Selena Gomez, the single "Wolves" which became a commercial success, having reached the top 10 in more than 20 countries. It topped the charts in Latvia, Poland and Hungary, and the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart. It was also his highest-charting "Billboard" Hot 100 song in 2017, having peaked in the Top 50 of over 50 countries and sold over 2.5 million copies of certified units. The song was certified gold in the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal and Denmark, and multiple-platinum in Brazil, Sweden, Canada, and Australia while receiving single-platinum certification in the United States, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and New Zealand.

paragraph: Succeeding "Wolves", the single "You & Me" was released through Joytime Collective, accompanied by an animated music video which was produced and directed by Toon53. The video was published three weeks after the song's release, on his YouTube channel, receiving over 42 million views as of December 2018.

paragraph: In November, "Forbes" published an article confirming Christopher Comstock as the individual behind the Marshmello project, with regards to existing proofs such as his real name being revealed in music royalty manager BMI's database and that Marshmello's company was registered in August 2015 under Comstock in Delaware. Furthermore, it was also disclosed to "Forbes" by industry insiders that the two are the same person. Previously-known pieces of evidence such as the ASCAP credit, their physical and musical similarities, and Skrillex addressing Marshmello as "Chris" were taken into account of confirming Marshmello's identity.

paragraph: In January 2018, Marshmello released a posthumous collaboration with rapper Lil Peep, titled "Spotlight". He decided to release the single only after speaking to Peep's mother, who had requested her son's unpublished musical work to be released as much as possible. A month later, Marshmello worked with frequent collaborator Slushii for the song "There ×2", which was released as a single.

paragraph: He released a collaboration with British singer Anne-Marie named "Friends", as the fifth single from Anne-Marie's debut studio album, "Speak Your Mind". The song became his highest-charting song on the Hot 100 until October 2018, peaking at number eleven. It also received a single-platinum certification in Belgium, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States alongside receiving an Australian double-platinum and a Canadian triple-platinum certification.

paragraph: Among the other singles released after the work with Anne-Marie were a song with rapper Logic titled "Everyday", which was released as the third single from his seventh mixtape, "Bobby Tarantino II", "Fly" and "You Can Cry", a collaborative single with rapper Juicy J and British soul singer James Arthur. On June 19, Marshmello announced on Twitter his second studio album titled "Joytime II", which would be musically similar to its predecessor"." The album was released on June 22, 2018. "Rolling Stone" described it as monotonous and Marshmello's decision to not feature guests as disappointing, stating "every song sounds like it has already been pre-leased for use by energy-drink companies or extreme-sports squads." The album was given a 'one-and-a-half star' rating by the magazine, while Pitchfork gave the album a 4.2 out of 10 rating. Two singles were released off the album in June, titled "Tell Me" and "Check This Out", the latter of which receiving an official music video published several months later.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:2018–present: "Happier", "Here with Me" and "Joytime III".

paragraph: In August 2018, he collaborated with British band Bastille to release a single titled "Happier" in August. It became his highest charting song in Canada, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States while becoming his third number one song on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart. The song was certified gold in Belgium, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, platinum in New Zealand and the United States, and double-platinum in Australia and Canada. His subsequent singles, collaborations with Egyptian singer-songwriter Amr Diab titled "Bayen Habeit" and American rapper and producer Roddy Ricch titled "Project Dreams", were released in December. Marshmello announced that month, he was working on his third studio album, "Joytime III".

paragraph: In January 2019, Marshmello collaborated with the free-to-play video game Fortnite Battle Royale to throw an in-game concert, along with releasing merchandise based on the game. On February 2 and 3, the concert was held online, amassing over 10 million players on the first day.

Following which, Marshmello revealed the full tracklist on his Twitter. The album features collaborations with producers Bellecour, Crankdat, Elohim, Flux Pavilion, Wiwek, Slushii, Tynan, and Yultron. The album was released on July 2, 2019.

paragraph: Section::::Artistry.

paragraph: Marshmello wears a custom helmet for public appearances. His identity was not known initially, but was confirmed to be Chris Comstock in April 2017 by "Forbes", citing events such as Skrillex's referring of Marshmello as "Chris" in an interview, the managerial connection of Shalizi, and the similar tattoos and birthday. In July 2, 2019, Marshmello released a documentary with More Than Music (Artist Spotlight Series) on YouTube. In the documentary, Shalizi describes the process and effort into creating the Marshmello brand.

paragraph: His stage name, an alternative spelling of "marshmallow", and his marshmallow mascot head were both inspired by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5, who also notably uses an alternate spelling for his stage name and performs wearing a "dead mouse" mascot head. Acknowledgement of Deadmau5's contribution to Marshmello's persona is evident in the music video for "Alone". Marshmello also referenced Deadmau5 with a variant of his helmet (with a third ear) featured in the original edit of "Ritual"s music video. It was removed at Deadmau5's demand.

paragraph: His musical style includes groove-oriented, synth and bass-heavy electronic dance music. Inspired by other masked DJs like Deadmau5 and Daft Punk, Marshmello appears wearing a full-head-covering white-colored bucket. Despite the anonymity, his career received international recognition in 2015 when he began releasing tracks online, including remixes of Zedd's "Beautiful Now", Jack Ü's "Where Are Ü Now" and others, as well as his own single "Alone".

paragraph: As a YouTuber, Marshmello has published gaming and cooking videos for his series "Gaming with Marshmello" and "Cooking with Marshmello". In an episode of the latter, American singer Paula Abdul was featured as a guest.

With the single Happier and its pet-dog-themed video, he supported the #FindYourFido campaign by American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in October 2018, also recognized as "Adopt a Shelter Dog" month.

paragraph: Andrea Franchi

paragraph: Blessed Andrea Franchi (1335 - 26 May 1401) was an Italian Roman Catholic member of the Order of Preachers who served as the Bishop of Pistoia before his resignation due to ill health. Franchi became a noted preacher and evangelist who was also known for his holiness and his deep commitment to the poor of his diocese.

paragraph: The confirmation of the late bishop's 'cultus' (or popular devotion) allowed for Pope Benedict XV to confirm Franchi's beatification on 21 November 1921.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Andrea Franchi was born in Pistoia in 1335 as the third of four children that included Francesco di Franco di Simone Franchi as well as Bartolomeo - an advisor of Pope Urban VI and Pope Boniface IX - and the Luca (who joined Franchi in the order).

paragraph: Franchi studied at the Dominican convent of Santa Maria Novella in Pistoia and joined the Dominicans at the age of fourteen in 1359. He was later ordained to the priesthood and became a noted preacher and evangelist. He also served as a teacher in Rome of both philosophical and theological studies. Franchi served from 1369 until 1381 as the prior of the Dominican houses in his home of Pistoia as well as Lucca and Orvieto.

paragraph: Franchi became the Bishop of Pistoia in 1382 after Pope Urban VI appointed him to that position; the new bishop received his episcopal consecration sometime in 1382. He administered to the poor and to the ill and gained the moniker of the "Father of the Poor". But ill health forced him to - on 29 May 1400 - relinquish his episcopal see and he returned to his Pistoia convent where he remained for the final months of his life.

paragraph: Franchi died in 1401. He was interred in the church of San Domenico in Pistoia and his remains were deemed to be incorrupt after their exhumation in 1613 - a sweet odor was said to have emanated from his remains following the exhumation.

paragraph: Section::::Beatification.

paragraph: Michael Montague, Baron Montague of Oxford

paragraph: Michael Jacob Montague, Baron Montague of Oxford, CBE (10 March 1932 – 5 November 1999) was a British businessman and politician.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Michael Jacob Montague, born on 10 March 1932, the son of David and Eleanor Montague. He attended the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe, and Magdalen College School, Oxford.

paragraph: A gifted salesman, Montague founded Gatehill Beco in 1958 aged 26 on an investment of £100, selling electric wire and later making cheap electric boiling rings: "I used to make the goods, sell them, deliver them to the back door, and then go round to the front to collect the money." After he received a large order he could not fulfil himself, Montague sought out a large corporate, and eventually sold out to Valor in 1962, of which he then became a Director and then managing director.

paragraph: Montague diversified the company through both product innovation and export driven expansion, visiting even the under developed markets of Africa, Asia and Japan personally at least once a year. In 1969 he was made chair of the Asia committee of the British National Export Council, where he served until 1972, as a result of which he was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1970 Birthday Honours.

paragraph: Montague expanded Valor, when in 1987 Valor paid £263m for Yale locks and NuTone. In August 1989 Ingersoll Rand sold its 2.2% holding in Yale & Valor to Williams Holdings, which thereby took its stake to 5.8%. In January 1991 Williams Holdings paid £330m for Yale & Valor, and Montague left the company. The Valor brand is now owned by Glen Dimplex, and the Yale Lock Company is now a subsidiary of Assa Abloy.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Other interests.

paragraph: Montague used his money to invest in other business, including the fledgling Planet Hollywood and Ramada Jarvis Hotels.

paragraph: Montague also expanded his public duties, and was Governor and Chairman of the Audit Commission at Oxford Brookes University. As chair of the English Tourist Board he made attacks on: second-rate hoteliers; greedy seaside impresarios; grubby motorway caterers; miserable museum attendants; surly waiters; and taxi drivers – whom he accused of cadging large tips out of unsuspecting tourists. When latterly as chair of the National Consumer Council, he told the public to boycott places offering poor value for money.

paragraph: A keen supporter of the Arts, among other activities he sponsored the Oxford Festival and was chair of the Henley Festival from 1992 to 1994.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Politics.

paragraph: After the 1964 general election, Montague said in an open letter to the press that he "deplored the way the Conservatives had attacked the newly elected Labour government as bad for British business, given that as a businessman I have suffered from the results of bad economic management of the past few years".

paragraph: A good friend of Labour party leader John Smith and Peter Mandelson, Montague was a member of the Millennium Commission from February 1994 until May 1997 Continuing his friendship of the Labour party via Mandelson with new leader Tony Blair, he was created a life peer on 1 November 1997 taking the title Baron Montague of Oxford, of Oxford in the County of Oxfordshire. It later emerged that this was after he had made a donation of £5,000 to the Labour party.

paragraph: Montague collapsed while attending the House of Lords on 5 November 1999. He was pronounced dead in the ambulance on the way to St Thomas' Hospital.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:After death.

paragraph: In February 2000, openly gay Lord Alli raised the issue of Montague's Japanese partner of 35 years, Takashi Sizuki, having to sell their home in Dorchester-on-Thames to pay the Inheritance tax. At the time, Inheritance tax was charged at 40 per cent on the excess value of estates valued at £231,000 and above, but there was an exemption for estates inherited by the surviving partner of a married couple. It was part of Alli's campaign that resulted in the laws which created Civil partnerships in the United Kingdom.
