paragraph: Kamnaskires II Nikephoros

paragraph: Kamnaskires II, surnamed Nikephoros ("the Bringer of Victory") was a king of the Elymais only known from his coins. He reigned from about 147 to 139 BC. Around 150 BC, the Seleucid empire disintegrated and at several places local governors became independent and assumed the title of "king" ("basileus"). The first king in the Elymais was Kamnaskires Soter ("the Saviour"), who ruled 147 BC. Kamnaskires II Nikephoros ruled slightly later and it is possible that he was identical with Kamnaskires Soter, just changing his name. The coins of Kamnaskires II Nikephoros are fully Hellenistic in style. They show the portrait of a young man. The reverse shows most often a young god. Less common are an anchor, a cornucopia, an eagle, a bow with quiver or a Nike.

paragraph: Francesco Mancini (1830–1905)

paragraph: Francesco Mancini (Naples, 1830–1905) was an Italian painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In 1844 Francesco Mancini became a student at the Naples Royal Institute of Fine Arts, where he studied drawing and attended Gabriele Smargiassi’s course on landscape from 1846. At the end of the decade he moved on from his academic training and devoted himself to painting from life, during numerous travels in the regions of southern Italy. He also tried his hand at history painting and presented scenes from the struggle for national liberation in Florence at the Esposizione Nazionale di Firenze of 1861.

paragraph: A leading figure in Neapolitan cultural life, Mancini became a member of the Società Promotrice di Belle Arti there in 1862 and was a regular participant in its exhibitions. In 1877 he took up a teaching post at the city's Academy and was one of the founders of the "Circolo Artistico Napoletano" in 1888. His participation in the major national exhibitions in Italian cities included those in Turin (1880 and 1884) and in Milan (1881). His landscapes inspired by the countryside and customs of the Abruzzi, Apulia, and Calabria regions were accompanied in this period by his more fashionable scenes of city life painted during frequent stays in Paris and London, which found great favour with the collectors of the time.

paragraph: His works found buyers in Europe and America, and he was knighted into the Order of the Crown of Italy. He exhibited in 1877 at Naples: "La strada ferrata" (property of the Conte de la Feld); four canvases depicting "Torchio"; and one titled "a rupe". In 1880 at Turin, he exhibited: "Seascape of Capri"; "Seascape of Casamicciola"; "Capo Pescara"; "Seascape of Naples"; "Approdo delle barche di Sorrento"; "Seascape of Pozzuoli"; and "Veduta dei tre Monti". in 1881 at Milan, he displayed: a landscape, "Nel bosco", and "Mercato a Popoli negli Abruzzi". At Rome, in 1883: "A Zingara (A Gypsy Woman)"; "Dopo il pascolo" (also exhibited in 1884 at Turin); "Sport"; and "Dopo la vendemmia". In 1887 at Venezia, in 1887: "Amalfi; "Pompei"; "San Marco", and "Cava dei Tirreni". Other works are: "Veduta di Popoli"; "Seascape of Ischia"; "Alpine Locale"; "Mattino estivo"; "Ritorno dalla pena"; and "Tramonto".

paragraph: Big Rude Jake

paragraph: Big Rude Jake (born A. Jacob Hiebert) is a lyricist, songwriter, singer, jazz musician and bandleader based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has recorded several albums with different jazz ensembles and musicians, mixing jazz, rock, rockabilly, jump blues, blues, ragtime, swing, rhythm and blues, gospel and punk rock together. Some attention was brought to Jake in the late 1990s, during the swing revival. He stepped away from recording and touring for several years, returning in 2009 with a new album. He started touring Canada and Europe again in 2010, as well as playing in the United States.

paragraph: He currently performs Big Rude Jake originals as well as jazz standards in solo, duet, quartet, quintet, sextet and septet formats. Larger shows can also include 4 backup singers and professional dancers. Additionally, he writes for and fronts rockabilly band, Tennessee Voodoo Coupe.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: "Butane Fumes & Bad Cologne", the first record by Big Rude Jake and his Gentlemen Players, was recorded in 2 days, on 26 and 27 July 1993 in Toronto. With what the group described as a "ridiculous puny budget", the idea was to record "off the floor" twelve songs mixing different jazz styles that were popular six or seven decades before, along with modern lyrics. It was produced by Gordie Johnson of local rock act Big Sugar and Pete Prilesnick. Executive Producer was Michael L. Johnson.

paragraph: "Blue Pariah", the second album, followed in 1996, and "Swing Baby!" was aired in college radios across Canada and United States. It was produced by Gordie Johnson, and engineered and mixed by Peter Prilesnik. Blue Pariah also featured Ashley MacIsaac on violin. This album was deliberately designed to set Big Rude Jake apart from all the other bands on the swing scene. It uses what some thought to be rather elaborate production techniques.

paragraph: Seeking to get this record distributed in the US, Big Rude Jake left Toronto, establishing himself in Brooklyn, New York, where he signed a record deal with indie label Roadrunner Records. A third album, "Big Rude Jake" was released in 1999, still mixing jazz, rock and punk, and introducing one of Big Rude Jake's most ferocious songs, "Let's Kill all the Rock Stars".

paragraph: In 2002, he recorded a fourth album, "Live Faust, Die Jung", totally different from the first three. It was produced by Jake Langley and Big Rude Jake, but was never officially released, as he was badly injured one night after being struck by a taxi. He 'disappeared' from the public eye for a while, going into semi-retirement. When he began playing publicly again, he used the moniker Chet Valiant, stepping back from the 'big suit party animal persona' of Big Rude Jake. Maintaining a lower profile, he focused on honing his ragtime guitar skills and kept composing. He began to play a few shows as Big Rude Jake again in 2006.

paragraph: in 2007 Rude teamed up with Toronto writer/producer Gary Justice, drawing from an even wider set of musical influences. From this, the album ''Quicksand" was released in Sept 2009.

paragraph: His recent European tours inspired him to make a new jump blues influenced live album with his 7-piece band and special guests. It was recorded in November 2011 in front of a live audience at The Drake Hotel in Toronto, funded in large part by fans through the crowd funding platform, RocketHub.

paragraph: Sir Thomas Lucas (died 1649) of Lexden, Essex, England, along with his younger brothers, Sir John Lucas (d.1671) (in 1645 created Baron Lucas), and Sir Charles Lucas (d.1648), distinguished himself as an officer fighting for the royalist cause in the Civil War.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Lucas was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Lucas (d. 1625) of St John's, Colchester, Essex, by his mistress and future wife Elizabeth Leighton, daughter of John Leighton of London, gentleman. He was illegitimate as he was born before his father's marriage with Elizabeth Leighton. His brothers Sir John Lucas (d.1671) (in 1645 created Baron Lucas) and Sir Charles Lucas also fought for the King. His younger sister Margaret Lucas, a prolific writer and a scientist, was the wife of the Duke of Newcastle.

He was one of the officers in whom Ormonde most confided during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and held the rank of commissary-general of the horse. He distinguished himself at the Battle of Kilrush (15 April 1642), and was badly wounded at the Battle of New Ross on 18 March 1643.

paragraph: From 1642 Lucas was a member of the Irish Privy Council, took part in negotiating the cessation of hostilities in 1643 and the treaty of 1646, and was consequently held a delinquent by parliament.

paragraph: Waldemar Jungner

paragraph: Ernst Waldemar Jungner (June 19, 1869 – August 30, 1924) was a Swedish inventor and engineer. In 1899 he invented the nickel-iron electric storage battery (NiFe), the nickel-cadmium battery (NiCd) and the rechargeable alkaline silver-cadmium battery (AgCd). As an inventor he also fabricated a fire alarm based on different dilutions of metals. He worked on the electrolytic production of sodium carbonate, and patented a rock drilling device.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Ernst Waldemar Jungner was born in 1869 in Västra Götaland County, Sweden. His parents were ministers, and his father died when Waldemar was 13 years old. In 1869, the year he was born, failed harvests caused famine throughout Sweden, which affected Jungner's health. He also contracted measles and scarlet fever.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: He attended Skara upper secondary school, and studied chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, botany, geology and Latin at Uppsala University. He went on to carry out further studies at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.

paragraph: Section::::Business.

paragraph: In 1900 he started the firm "Ackumulator Aktiebolaget Jungner". There was a long patent dispute with Edison which was won by Edison in the end because he had larger financial resources. This caused serious problems to Jungner's firm. The company managed to survive by using a slightly different name "Nya Ackumulator Aktiebolaget Jungner" in 1904. Jungner left the management of the company at this time, but remained a consultant to the new firm. This company was wound up in 1910, and a new company "Ackumulator Aktiebolaget Jungner" was created, which profitably used new technology developments. A descendant company "NiFe Junger" in 1991 became part of Saft Groupe S.A..

paragraph: Section::::Battery use.

paragraph: Nickel-cadmium batteries were commonly used in the power systems of rockets and artificial satellites through t the 1960s and 1970s, as well as in terrestrial portable electrical devices.

paragraph: On the rescue mission to Umbreto Nobile and his companions on the North pole expedition in 1928, several batteries were dropped from an airplane to supply electricity to the radio of the expedition. Only the Jungner NiFe battery worked.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Jungner patented designs for a fuel cell in 1907. He carried out investigations into the production of cement, and the extraction of radium from ores.

paragraph: Jungner joined the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1922 and in 1924 he received the Swedish Chemical Society's Oscar Carlson Medal. Jungner died in 1924 of pneumonia at the age of 55.

paragraph: Purple Mark

paragraph: Mark Wirth, better known as Purple Mark, is a Seattle, Washington resident, "fashion notable" who has become locally famous, especially around the Capitol Hill neighborhood where he lives, for his colorful attire and his equally colorful dyed hair and beard. He has been quoted as saying, "So many people are against color, so many people are afraid to live."

paragraph: Purple Mark usually dresses and dyes his hair, beard and other hair on his body, such as on his eyebrows and arm-hair, in accord with the cycle of the seasons: blue and purple in the winter, then the weather warms up green, yellow, and orange, then red in the autumn before cycling back to his winter colors. The process of applying the dye takes about four hours when he changes color, with two hours every two weeks for touch-up for "vibrancy." He also attempts to eat and drink along a similar pattern of color. By his own account, the name "Purple Mark" predates his colorful self-presentation, dating back to when he was hit by a purple streak of lightning on Mount Sneffels in Colorado at age 11. He moved to Seattle in 1985. He has said he was first influenced to dye his hair by the wild styles he saw around Pike Place Market, but soon went well beyond the street fashion of the time to develop his unique look. On another occasion he explained his rainbow tones as originally springing from observation of the sun's rays coming through his eyelids: "Your vision attempts to correct this color to white, and some hair had fallen across my eyes, so when I opened them, my hair appeared bright green. I thought to myself: 'I'm gonna do that.'"

paragraph: From 1994 to at least 2007, he worked in the Ballard neighborhood in what was basically an assembly line job at motor oil and fuel additives company Bardahl. Most of his wardrobe is purchased second-hand or made by himself. He brings a variety of techniques to making his own outfits, ranging from dying human-hair wigs to metalsmithing, in which he has a degree.

paragraph: Euforia (wrestler)

paragraph: Euforia (born December 5, 1974) is the ring name of a second-generation Mexican "Luchador" "Enmascarado", or masked professional wrestler currently working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Euforia's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. Euforia has a son, also wrestling in CMLL, as Soberano Jr.

paragraph: Euforia is a part of a wrestling group called "Los Guerreros del Infierno" under the leadership of Último Guerrero, the group also includes Niebla Roja. He was formerly part of the groups "Los Nuevos Infernales" led by El Satánico and later Virus, followed by "Los Cancerberos del Infierno" ("The Infernal Cerberusses") with Virus, Raziel, Cancerbero and Pólvora, while also forming a tag team with Nosferatu.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: As Euforia has never been unmasked in the ring via a "Lucha de Apuestas" ("Bet match") his real name is not a matter of public knowledge, a "lucha libre" tradition where the names of "enmascarados" (masked wrestlers) are not reported on. He was born on December 5, 1974 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, son of Pablo Moreno Román. Moreno was a professional wrestler known under the ring name "El Soberano" ("the Sovereign"). Euforia's older brother, Pablo Moreno Leon, wrestled under the ring name Stranger until his death in 2000. A younger brother works under the ring name "El Hijo del Soberano" ("The son of El Soberano"). Euforia's son, born August 12, 1993, followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps and became a professional wrestler in 2007. He was originally known as "El Niete del Soberano" ("The Grandson of El Soberano") but is better known under the ring name El Soberano Jr. / El Soberano, both of which are used interchangeably.

paragraph: The wrestler currently known as Euforia made his professional wrestling debut on May 28, 1990 under the name "Soberano Jr." ("Sovereign Jr."). He wrestled for many years alongside both his father and his brother on the Mexican independent circuit, especially around his home region in Torreón, Coahuila. Soberano made his Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) debut on April 23, 2006, in the second match of the show. He only wrestled a limited number of matches before disappearing from CMLL shows.

paragraph: In 2007 Soberano Jr. returned to the CMLL rings, but had been repackaged as "Euforia", a darker "Rudo" character (a "heel", those that portray the villains in wrestling) that was teamed up with El Satánico and Nosferatu to form "Los Nuevos Infernales" ("The New Infernals"), the latest incarnation of the "Los Infernales" group. In June 2007, Euforia was one of eight "Novatos" (rookies) that participated in the 2007 "Gran Alternativa" tournament, where an experienced wrestler teams up with a newcomer. Euforia teamed up with top "Rudo" Último Guerrero for the tournament, defeating Súper Comando and Villano V in the first round and Dos Caras Jr. and Valiente in the second round to earn a spot in the finals. The 2007 "Gran Alternativa" finals saw Místico and La Sombra defeat Último Guerrero and Euforia. In June 2008, "Los Nuevos Infernales" entered a tournament for the vacant CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship. In the first round Euforia and Nosferatu defeated "Los Rayos Tapatio", in the second round they beat Metallik and Metálico and in the third round they eliminated Ángel Azteca Jr. and Máscara Purpura to earn a spot in the finals. The final match saw Flash and Stuka Jr. defeat "Los Nuevos Infernales" to win the Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship. Following their loss "Los Nuevo Infernales" began a long running rivalry with Flash and Stuka Jr., a rivalry that saw Euforia and Nosferatu unsuccessfully challenge for the Arena Coliseo Tag Team titles on December 14, 2008. Euforia and Nosferatu defeated the champions in a non-title match at CMLL's La Hora Cero pay-per-view on January 11, 2009. By mid-2009 Euforia and Nosferatu teamed less and less. Nosferatu was replaced by Skandalo in a trios match that saw Eurforia, Virus and Skandalo defeat Flash, Stuka Jr. and Metalico on the undercard of the 2009 "Infierno en el Ring" event.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Los Cancerberos del Infierno (2009–2012).

paragraph: On November 18, 2009 CMLL presented a new "Rudo" group that they had formed, "Los Cancerberos del Infierno" ("The Infernal Cerberus") a team led by veteran mid-ranked worker Virus and consisted of Euforia and Pólvora as well as two new characters never used before - Raziel and Cancerbero. It was later revealed that Raziel and Cancerbero were not two new wrestlers CMLL brought in but actually two low card wrestlers that had been repackaged, Raziel was previously known as Caligula while Cancerbero was called Messala. In late 2009 Pólvora teamed up with Euforia and Virus to represent "Los Cancerberos" in a tournament to crown the new Mexican National Trios Champion. The team defeated "Los Ángeles Celestiales" (Ángel Azteca Jr., Ángel de Plata and Ángel de Oro) in the first round, but lost to eventual tournament winners Mascara Dorada, Stuka Jr. and Metro in the second round. Following the tournament loss "Los Ángeles Celestiales" and "Los Cancerberos del Infierno" have developed a rivalry between the two groups, facing off on various CMLL shows, including their Friday night CMLL Super Viernes show. In early 2010 Euforia was entered in the inaugural "Parejas Incredibles Nacional" tournament, a tournament where CMLL groups a "Technico" and a "Rudo" together for a contest where teams represent the region they trained in. Euforia teamed up with Ephesto to form the only "all rudo" team in the group. In the first round Euforia and Ephesto lost to tournament favorites Místico and Averno. In April 2012, Euforia and CMLL World Heavyweight Champion El Terrible won the 2012 Gran Alternativa. The same month he entered the "En Busca de un Ídolo" tournament/reality television show, where he made it to the finals before losing to Titán.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Los Guerreros Laguneros (2012–present).

paragraph: On July 6, 2012, Euforia was named the newest member of Último Guerrero's "Los Guerreros del Infierno" stable. In January 2013, Euforia made his Japanese debut, when he took part in the three-day "Fantastica Mania 2013" event, co-promoted by CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling in Tokyo. During the first night on January 18, he teamed with Okumura in a tag team match, where they were defeated by Tama Tonga and Titán. The following night, Euforia was defeated in a singles match by Atlantis. During the third and final night, Euforia teamed with Kazuchika Okada and Mephisto in a six-man tag team main event, where they were defeated by Atlantis, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Prince Devitt. Euforia was teamed up with "tecnico" Diamante Azul for the 2013 "Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles" ("National Incredible Pairs Tournament") where the concept was that rivals would team up for a tag team tournament. The team defeated Ángel de Oro and Ephesto in the tournament's first round, but lost to Atlantis and Último Guerrero in the second round. A year later, Euforia won the 2014 "Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles" tournament teaming with Atlantis. On March 28, 2014, Euforia won his first title, when he, Niebla Roja and Último Guerrero defeated "Los Estetas del Aire" (Máscara Dorada, Místico and Valiente) for the CMLL World Trios Championship. They lost the title to Sky Team (Místico, Valiente and Volador Jr.) on February 13, 2015. Euforia was a participant in the 2017 International Gran Prix. He was eliminated from the torneo cibernetico by Kenny King on September 1.

paragraph: On July 1, 2018, Los Guerreros Lagunero ended Sky Team's 1,223-day reign with the CMLL World Trios Championship as they defeated them in the main event of CMLL's Domingos Arena México show. Subsequently, Los Guerreros were positioned as "Defenders of CMLL" as they began a storyline feud with "The Cl4n" (Ciber the Main Man, The Chris and Sharlie Rockstar), three wrestlers who had made a name for themselves in CMLL's main rival Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. On September 14, The Cl4n won the trios championship, followed by Los Guerreros regaining the championship two weeks later on September 28. 2018.

paragraph: Francis Cargeeg

paragraph: Francis Bertram Cargeeg (14 September 1893 – 25 March 1981) known also as Tan Dyvarow ("Undying Fire" in Cornish).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Francis (Frank) Cargeeg was born on the 14 Sept 1893 in Carnsew, Hayle, Cornwall, South West England. He was the second youngest of 8 children registered as being born to William and Emma Cargeeg over the period 1878-1897.

paragraph: Frank's father was originally a miner seeking tin and copper in the hard rocks of the County. Subsequently he moved up to the position of engine man (driver), initially at a mine and later at Harvey's of Hayle. Harvey's was an internationally known pumping engine and other mine goods manufacturer in the 19th Century.

paragraph: After his initial schooling Frank became an apprentice at Holman's of Camborne, another internationally recognized company. He finished his 6-year apprenticeship in engineering on December 2, 1914. World War I changed the face of employment in UK at that time and Frank went to sea in the merchant marine as 4th engineer on the SS Trevalgan, one of the Hain line ships.

paragraph: After just one voyage he left the vessel on medical grounds. Thereafter he became employed in HM Dockyard, Devonport. In 1939 he decided to leave his safe employment at this large facility and become self-employed as an artist in hand beaten copper ware. Unfortunately, World War II intervened preventing him from carrying out his dream, instead he found himself employed in a new factory in Hayle producing dibromoethane, an additive used in petrol allowing higher compression ratios to be used in the most modern aircraft engines of the time - such as the Merlin.

paragraph: After the War he worked in Pool's of Hayle for a few years finally realizing his dream of full-time employment in copperware in the late 1940s. At this time Cornwall had a history of copperware, beginning with Newlyn Copper in the late 19th Century.

paragraph: At this time he lived with his wife, Winifred, whom he married in September 1919 and his unmarried sister Holly in her cottage, Trevean, at Mellanear Road, Hayle.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: For the next 30 years or so he worked from his small workshop here producing bowls, plates, mirror surrounds and vases in copper using only hand tools and other simple equipment. All of his designs followed images based on the products of the ancient Celts - particularly those of the La Tène Culture.

paragraph: Between 1939 and 1970, Cargeeg was asked by the Gorseth Kernow to create most of the copper regalia they use, including the Grand Bard's Crown. The Grand Bards Crown was photographed and written about in the "Western Morning News", 9 Sep 1940. Francis had been a member of the group since 1934. He became the Group's Deputy Grand Bard in 1962, and held the position until 1967.

paragraph: He exhibited pieces at the Red Rose Guild in Manchester in 1950 and 1951. At St Ives in 1948, along with Barbara Hepworth, David Leach and Ben Nicholson. In the Newlyn Art Gallery in the late 1940s. Penlee House Museum (Penzance, Cornwall) in early 2003, in a display arranged by J Laity, covered in the Western Morning News on 4 Mar 2003. Additionally, the sale of one of his works was detailed in D Lays catalogue on October 14, 2003. Finally, A few articles were published by him including in the Cornish Review, Spring 1950, and the New Cornwall Volume 2, No. 5, in July and Sep 1963.

paragraph: A line attributed to Cargeeg helps explain the few works he produced: "I deliberately limit my output to a small range of styles and sizes in order that I can master my art." Additionally, some of the complicated items took a year or more to make. His very best works, he was "loath to see them pass into other hands" (The West Briton 1970). As described in a West Briton interview "one fine vase, with separate moulded lid" (shown on this page) was kept part of his personal collection, and never sold (The West Briton 1970).

paragraph: The last few years of his life were non-productive due to the onset of age related degeneration. He died on the 25 March 1981 and is buried in St Erth, Cornwall.

paragraph: Arthur Stace

paragraph: Arthur Malcolm Stace (9 February 1885 – 30 July 1967), known as Mr Eternity, was an Australian soldier. He gained fame as a reformed alcoholic who converted to Christianity and spread his message by writing the word "Eternity" in copperplate writing with chalk on footpaths in and around Sydney, from Martin Place to Parramatta for about 35 years, from 1932 to 1967.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Stace was born in Redfern, New South Wales, in inner west Sydney on 9 February 1885. The fifth child of William Wood Stace, from Mauritius and Laura Stace (née Lewis), a child of alcoholics, he was brought up in poverty. In order to survive, he resorted to stealing bread and milk and searching for scraps of food in bins. By the age of 12, Stace, with virtually no formal schooling, and working in a coal mine had become a ward of the state. As a teenager, he became an alcoholic and was subsequently sent to jail at 15. Afterwards, he worked as a "cockatoo" or a look-out for a Two-up "school". In his twenties, he was a scout for his sisters' brothels. In March 1916, at age 32, whilst working as labourer he enlisted for World War I with the Australian Imperial Force 19th Battalion 5th Brigade AIF, entering with the 16th Reinforcements, service number 5934. He suffered recurring bouts of bronchitis and pleurisy, which led to his medical discharge on 2 April 1919.

paragraph: Section::::Conversion to Christianity.

paragraph: Stace converted to Christianity on the night of 6 August 1930, after hearing an inspirational sermon by the Reverend R. B. S. Hammond at St. Barnabas Church, Broadway. Inspired by the words, he became enamoured of the notion of eternity. Two years later, on 14 November 1932, Stace was further inspired by the preaching of evangelist John G. Ridley MC, on "The Echoes of Eternity" from Isaiah :

paragraph: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth Eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

paragraph: Reverend John Ridley's words, "Eternity, Eternity, I wish that I could sound or shout that word to everyone in the streets of Sydney. You've got to meet it, where will you spend Eternity?" proved crucial in Stace's decision to tell others about his faith. In an interview, Stace said, "Eternity went ringing through my brain and suddenly I began crying and felt a powerful call from the Lord to write Eternity." Even though he was illiterate and could hardly write his own name "Arthur", legibly, "the word 'Eternity' came out smoothly, in a beautiful copperplate script. I couldn't understand it, and I still can't."

paragraph: After eight or nine years, he tried to write something else, "Obey God" and then five years later, "God or Sin" but he could not bring himself to stop writing the word "Eternity".

paragraph: The Sydney City Council brought him to the attention of the police as they had rules about the defacing of pavements, so much so that he narrowly avoided arrest about twenty-four times. Each time he was caught, he responded with, "But I had permission from a higher source".

paragraph: Several mornings a week for the next 35 years, Stace left his wife, Pearl Stace (born as Ellen Esther Dawson) and their home in Bulwarra Road, Pyrmont around 5am to go around the streets of Sydney and chalk the word "Eternity" on footpaths, railway station entrances and anywhere else he could think of. It is estimated that he wrote the word around 500,000 times over the 35 years. Workers arriving in the city would see the word freshly written, but not the writer, and so, "The man who writes Eternity" became a legend in Sydney. The mystery was solved when Reverend Lisle M. Thompson, who preached at the church where Stace worked as a cleaner, saw him take a piece of chalk from his pocket and write the word on the footpath. Thompson wrote about Stace's life and an interview was published in the "Sydney Sunday Telegraph" on 21 June 1956.

paragraph: In 1963, photographer Trevor Dallen cornered Stace and asked to take a few pictures of him writing his famous phrase. After four photos, Dallen ran out of film and asked Stace to stay put while he got more but upon his return, Stace had gone.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: After his wife Pearl died in 1961, he left the Sydney suburb of Pyrmont in 1965 and moved to a nursing home in Hammondville in Sydney's south, where he died of a stroke on the 30 July 1967 at the age of 82. He bequeathed his body to the University of Sydney; subsequently, his remains were buried with those of his wife at Botany Cemetery in the Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park (General 15, no. 729) around two years later.

paragraph: Section::::Eternity script.

paragraph: The National Museum of Australia in Canberra holds one of only two existing original 'Eternity' inscriptions by Stace. He chalked it on a piece of cardboard for a fellow parishioner. The museum also has an Eternity gallery, inspired by Stace's story. The gallery features 50 personal stories from ordinary and extraordinary Australians. Each individual feature tells a separate story, anchored by a significant object.The stories are tied together by emotional themes including joy, hope, passion, mystery, thrill, loneliness, fear, devotion, separation and chance, which are all elements of Stace's story.

paragraph: In Sydney the word "Eternity" can be seen written in a few places, of which only one is original:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Inside the bell in the Sydney General Post Office clock tower, which had been dismantled during World War II. When the clock tower was rebuilt in the 1960s, the bell was brought out of storage and as the workmen were installing it they noticed, inside, the word "Eternity" in Stace's chalk. This is the only surviving "Eternity" by Stace's own hand in Sydney. (No one ever found out how Stace had been able to get to the bell, which had been sealed up).

paragraph: BULLET::::- On Stace's grave in Botany Cemetery.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In Town Hall Square, between St Andrew's Cathedral and the Sydney Town Hall. When the area was redeveloped in the 1970s, a wrought aluminium replica of the word in Stace's original copperplate handwriting was embedded in the footpath near a waterfall as a memorial to Stace.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The Eternity Playhouse, a theatre named in Stace's honour, at Darlinghurst, the former Burton Street Tabernacle.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: The heritage-listed "Burton Street Tabernacle" was restored by the City of Sydney and transformed into a theatre. It was named the "Eternity Playhouse" on 5 December 2011 in tribute to Arthur Stace. His famous ""Eternity"" script is replicated on the marquee and throughout the theatre.

paragraph: As a tribute to the man known as "Mr Eternity", the Sydney Harbour Bridge was lit up with the word "Eternity" as part of the celebrations for the beginning of the year 2000 Sydney New Year's Eve celebrations, as well as part of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, at the celebration of the XXVII Olympiad. This was done to not only celebrate Arthur Stace's achievements, but to celebrate the new millennium.

paragraph: A screen print homage of Stace's copperplate "Eternity" was made by Martin Sharp in 1990, now at the National Gallery of Australia.

paragraph: "The Eternity Man" is an opera based on Stace's life, written by the Australian composer Jonathan Mills to a libretto by Dorothy Porter. This was adapted in 2008 into a film directed by Julien Temple.

paragraph: Four known photographs of Stace were taken by Trevor Dallen for Sydney's "The Sun" newspaper. Dallen took the pictures in the former Fairfax building on Broadway. A photo of Arthur Stace, at his desk in the Hammond Hotel in Chippendale is in the archives of the HammondCare charity and was published in "Faith in Action: HammondCare", a 2013 history of the charity.
