paragraph: Winston McAnuff

paragraph: Winston McAnuff, also known under the stage name Electric Dread (born 1957 in Manchester, Jamaica) is a Jamaican singer and composer of reggae and dub music.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: McAnuff was born in Manchester Parish, Jamaica into a family of preachers. One of his great-grandfathers was Scottish. He started his musical career singing gospel in the church choir. He recorded his first album "Pick Hits to Click" in 1978. Two years later his second album "What the man "a" deal wid" was released. His best known song from this time is the single "Malcolm X", which was also recorded by Earl Sixteen, and most successfully by Dennis Brown. It was originally recorded by McAnuff for Joe Gibbs but the producer decided not to release it, and he got Earl Sixteen to record it before the song was given to Dennis Brown who recorded it for his "Visions of Dennis Brown" album. The song was the subject of a legal dispute in 2013 between McAnuff and Greensleeves Records after the record label allegedly registered the song as co-written by Brown. A third studio album, "Electric Dread", was released in 1986.

paragraph: Although McAnuff had reasonable fame in Jamaica, none of his work was released elsewhere. It wasn't until 2002 that his work was released in Europe. In 2002 the French record label Makasound released the first two albums and a compilation album "Diary of the Silent Years". The release of the albums revived McAnuff's career, notably in France.

paragraph: In 2005 McAnuff released the album "A Drop", which he recorded with the French keyboard player Camille Bazbaz. This record displays a mix of rock, funk, dub and punk rock. A year later, in 2006, a new album "Paris Rockin"', which he recorded with Java and other French session musicians, was released. His last album, "Nostradamus", was released in 2008. The album was a concept album about the predictions of Nostradamus.

paragraph: In 2011, he took part in "Les Échos Du Temps" the latest album of Danakil, a French roots reggae band, on the track "Media" where both he and his son Matthew were featured. This is the last apparition of his son, murdered the 22nd August 2012 in a street fight.

paragraph: In 2013 he released the album "A New Day", a collaboration with French musician Fixi.

paragraph: In 2014 he sings on two songs of the first album of The Celtic Social Club, a collective of Scottish, Breton, French and New Yorker musicians.

paragraph: Timophanes

paragraph: Timophanes was an Ancient Corinthian and brother of the renowned Greek statesman and general Timoleon.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: During the 360s BC, the city-state of Corinth found herself in an unfamiliar and radically changing world. In the forty plus years since the end of the Peloponesian War, the political power houses of the eastern Mediterranean had changed fairly drastically. The city-states of Athens, Sparta and Thebes had each contended to become the political and military leaders of Hellas. This, in conjunction with interference from the Achaemenid Empire in the form of the so-called King’s Peace, dictated by Artaxerxes II, and the rise of Jason of Pherae had created an unprecedented complex political environment on the Greek peninsula.

paragraph: To the end of protecting her own interests, Corinth, a "demokratia", gave Timophanes a force of four hundred mercenaries. He was given the command because of his popularity among his fellow citizens who perceived him as brave due to his military exploits. Corinth expected that Timophanes and the soldiers would serve as a deterrent to the city's many rivals in the Peloponnese and Attica, with Athens being named by Xenophon as a particular threat.

paragraph: Section::::Assassination.

paragraph: However, Timophanes was, as noted by Diodorus Siculus a man "of outstanding wealth" and used this to turn the mercenaries towards their previous employers. Diodorus relates how Timophanes would walk about the Corinthian market with “a band of ruffians” aiming towards installing himself as tyrant. He would go as far as putting to death a “great number of leading citizens”. He was publicly assassinated by his brother Timoleon with the assistance of Aeschylus, Timophanes' brother-in-law and the diviner Satyrus. According to Plutarch, Timoleon did not commit the deed himself but led the assassins into his brother's house with the pretext of desiring a meeting.

paragraph: Khadija bint Khuwaylid

paragraph: Khadijah bint Khuwaylid or Khadija bint Khuwaylid () (555 or 567 CE – 22 November 619 CE) was the first wife and first follower of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Khadijah was the daughter of Khuwaylid ibn Asad, a leader of Quraysh tribe in Mecca, and a successful businesswoman in her own right.

paragraph: Khadijah is often referred to by Muslims as "Mother of the Believers", as are other wives of Muhammad. She is one of the most important female figures in Islam, along with her daughter, Fatimah. Muhammad was monogamously married to her for 25 years. The number of children she bore before and to Muhammad is disputed, but it is generally agreed that they had six to eight children together.

paragraph: Section::::Before marrying Muhammad.

paragraph: Section::::Before marrying Muhammad.:Her family.

paragraph: Khadijah's father, Khuwaylid ibn Asad, was a merchant and leader. According to some traditions, he died c.585 CE in the Sacrilegious War, but according to others, he was still alive when Khadijah married Muhammad in 595. Khuwaylid also had a sister named Umm Habib binte Asad.

paragraph: Khadijah's mother, Fatima bint Za'idah, who died around 575 CE, was a member of the Amir ibn Luayy clan of the Quraysh and a third cousin of Muhammad's mother.

paragraph: Section::::Before marrying Muhammad.:Her profession.

paragraph: Khadijah became a very successful merchant. It is said that when the Quraysh's trade caravan travelers gathered to embark upon their summer journey to Syria or winter journey to Yemen, Khadijah's caravan equalled the caravans of all other traders of the Quraysh put together. She was known by the by-names Ameerat-Quraysh ("Princess of Quraysh"),

paragraph: Khadijah did not travel with her trade caravans; she employed others to trade on her behalf for a commission. In 595 Khadijah needed an agent for a transaction in Syria. She chose Muhammad ibn Abdullah for the trade in Syria. With the permission of Abu Talib ibn Muttalib, his uncle he was sent to Syria. With one of Khadijah's servant. The experience that Muhammad held working with caravans in his uncle Abu Talib's family business had earned him the honorific titles Al-Sadiq ("the Truthful") and Al-Amin ("the Trustworthy" or "Honest"). Khadijah hired Muhammad, who was then 25 years old, sending word that she would pay double her usual commission.

paragraph: She sent one of her servants, Maysarah, to assist him. Upon returning, Maysarah gave accounts of the honorable way that Muhammad had conducted his business, with the result that he brought back twice as much profit as Khadijah had expected.

paragraph: Section::::Before marrying Muhammad.:Differing views on previous marriages.:Sunni version.

paragraph: Khadijah married three times and had children from all her marriages. While the order of her marriages is debated, it is generally believed that she first married Atiq ibn 'A'idh ibn' Abdullah Al-Makhzumi and second Malik ibn Nabash ibn Zarrara ibn at-Tamimi. To her second husband she bore two sons, who were named Hala and Hind. He died before his business became a success. To husband Atiq, Khadijah bore a daughter named Hindah. This marriage also left Khadijah as a widow.

paragraph: Khadijah proposed to Muhammad when he was 25 years old and she was 40 years old. Khadijah consulted her cousin Waraqah ibn Nawfal ibn Asad ibn 'Abdu'l-'Uzza. Waraqah said that Muhammad was the prophet of the people, who was already expected.

paragraph: Section::::Before marrying Muhammad.:Differing views on previous marriages.:Shia version.

paragraph: Shi'a scholars believed Khadijah did not marry anyone before Muhammad.

paragraph: Ibn Shahrashub quoted from al-Sayyid al-Murtada in "al-Shafi" and al-Shaykh al-Tusi in "al-Talkhis" that Khadijah was a virgin when she married Muhammad. In addition, considering the cultural and intellectual situation in Hijaz and high position and status of Khadijah al-Kubra among other people, it would be highly improbable that she marry men from Banu Tamim and Banu Makhzum (the two low tribes).

paragraph: According to researchers, two children attributed to Khadijah were the children of Hala, Khadija's sister. After the husband of Hala had died, she took the responsibility of Hala and her children. After Hala died, Khadija looked after her children.

paragraph: Khadijah was 25 or 28 when she was married to Muhammad.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage to Muhammad.

paragraph: Khadijah entrusted a friend named Nafisa to approach Muhammad and ask if he would consider marrying. When Muhammad hesitated because he had no money to support a wife, Nafisa asked if he would consider marriage to a woman who had the means to provide for herself. Muhammad agreed to meet with Khadijah, and after this meeting they consulted their respective uncles. The uncles agreed to the marriage, and Muhammad's uncles accompanied him to make a formal proposal to Khadijah. It is disputed whether it was Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib, Abu Talib, or both who accompanied Muhammad on this errand. Khadijah's uncle accepted the proposal, and the marriage took place. At the time of the marriage Muhammad was 25 years old and Khadijah was 40 years old.

paragraph: Muhammad and Khadijah were married monogamously for 25 years. After her death, Muhammad took other wives.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage to Muhammad.:Children.

paragraph: Muhammad and Khadijah may have had six or eight children. (Sources disagree about number of children: Al-Tabari names eight; the earliest biography of Muhammad, by Ibn Ishaq, names seven children; most sources only identify six).

paragraph: Their first son was Qasim, who died before his second birthday (hence Muhammad's "kunya" Abu Qasim). Khadijah then gave birth to their daughters Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum and Fatima; and lastly to their son Abd-Allah. Abd-Allah was known as "at-Tayyib" ("the Good") and "at-Tahir" ("the Pure") because he was born after Muhammad was declared a prophet by the Angel Gabriel as a direct message from Allah. Abdullah also died in childhood.

paragraph: Two other children also lived in Khadijah's household: Ali ibn Abi Talib, the son of Muhammad's uncle; and Zayd ibn Harithah, a boy from the Udhra tribe who had been kidnapped and sold into slavery. Zayd was a slave in Khadijah's household for several years, until his father came to Mecca to take him home. Muhammad insisted that Zayd be given a choice about where he lived, and Zayd decided to remain where he was, after which Muhammad legally adopted Zayd as his own son.

paragraph: Section::::Becoming the first follower of Muhammad.

paragraph: According to the traditional Sunni narrative, when Muhammad reported his first revelation from the Angel Gabriel (Jibril), Khadijah was the first person to convert to Islam. After his experience in the cave of Hira, Muhammad returned home to Khadijah in a state of terror, pleading for her to cover him with a blanket. After calming down, he described the encounter to Khadijah, who comforted him with the words: "Allah would surely protect him from any danger, and would never allow anyone to revile him as he was a man of peace and reconciliation and always extended the hand of friendship to all." According to some sources, it was Khadijah's cousin, Waraka ibn Nawfal, who confirmed Muhammad's prophethood soon afterwards.

paragraph: Yahya ibn `Afeef is quoted saying that he once came, during the period of "Jahiliyyah" (before the advent of Islam), to Mecca to be hosted by 'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, one of Muhammad's uncles mentioned above. "When the sun started rising", he said, "I saw a man who came out of a place not far from us, faced the Kaaba and started performing his prayers. He hardly started before being joined by a young boy who stood on his right side, then by a woman who stood behind them. When he bowed down, the young boy and the woman bowed, and when he stood up straight, they, too, did likewise. When he prostrated, they, too, prostrated." He expressed his amazement at that, saying to Abbas: "This is quite strange, O Abbas!" "Is it, really?" retorted al-Abbas. "Do you know who he is?" Abbas asked his guest who answered in the negative. "He is Muhammad ibn Abdullah, my nephew. Do you know who the young boy is?" asked he again. "No, indeed," answered the guest. "He is Ali son of Abu Talib. Do you know who the woman is?" The answer came again in the negative, to which Abbas said, "She is Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, my nephew's wife." This incident is included in the books of both Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Al-Tirmidhi, each detailing it in his own Ṣaḥīḥ.

paragraph: Khadijah was supportive of Muhammad's prophetic mission, always helping in his work, proclaiming his message and belittling any opposition to his prophecies. It was her encouragement that helped Muhammad believe in his mission and spread Islam. Khadijah also invested her wealth in the mission. When the polytheists and aristocrats of the Quraysh harassed the Muslims, she used her money to ransom Muslim slaves and feed the Muslim community.

paragraph: In 616 the Quraysh declared a trade boycott against the Hashim clan. They attacked, imprisoned and beat the Muslims, who sometimes went for days without food or drink. Khadijah continued to maintain the community until the boycott was lifted in late 619 or early 620.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Khadijah died in "Ramadan of the year 10 after the Prophethood", i.e., in April or May 620 CE. Muhammad later called this tenth year "the Year of Sorrow", as his uncle and protector Abu Talib also died at this time. Khadijah is said to have been about 65 years old at the time of her death. She was buried in Jannat al-Mu'alla cemetery, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

paragraph: In the years immediately following Khadijah's death, Muhammad faced persecution from opponents of his message and also from some who originally followed him but had now turned back. Hostile tribes ridiculed and stoned him. Muhammad migrated to Yathrib (Medina) after Khadijah's death.

She had the by-name "The mother of her father", as she took over caring for her father and being a support to her father once her mother died. She married Ali, who became the fourth Caliph in 656. (According to early debate after the death of Muhammad, some would argue that Ali would be the proper succession to Muhammad.) Ali and Fatimah moved to a small village in Ghoba after the marriage, but later moved back to Medina to live next door to Muhammad. Muhammad forbade Ali to take additional wives because, "What caused pain to his daughter grieved him as well." Fatima died after the attack on her house shortly after her father died. All of Muhammad's surviving descendants are by Fatima's children. Muhammad loved her two sons Hassan and Husayn, who would continue his heritage.

Ibn Ishaq claims that Waraqah is also important because he plays a role in legitimizing Muhammad's revelation.

paragraph: Pat O'Brien (actor)

paragraph: William Joseph Patrick O'Brien (November 11, 1899 – October 15, 1983) was an American film actor with more than 100 screen credits. Of Irish descent, he often played Irish and Irish-American characters and was referred to as "Hollywood's Irishman in Residence" in the press. One of the best-known screen actors of the 1930s and 1940s, he played priests, cops, military figures, pilots, and reporters. He is especially well-remembered for his roles in "Knute Rockne, All American" (1940), "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938), and "Some Like It Hot" (1959). He was frequently paired onscreen with Hollywood legend James Cagney. O'Brien also appeared on stage and television.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: O'Brien was born in 1899 to an Irish-American Roman Catholic family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. All four of his grandparents had come from Ireland. The O'Briens were originally from County Cork. His grandfather, Patrick O'Brien, for whom he was named, was an architect who was killed while trying to break up a saloon fight in New York City. His mother's parents, the McGoverns, immigrated from County Galway in the west of Ireland in the mid- to late-19th century.

paragraph: As a child, O'Brien served as an altar boy at Gesu Church, while growing up near 13th and Clybourn streets in Milwaukee. He attended Marquette Academy with fellow actor Spencer Tracy, who became a lifelong friend. During World War I, O'Brien and Tracy joined the United States Navy. They both attended boot camp at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, but the war ended before their training had finished.

paragraph: Jack Benny was also at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center at the same time as O'Brien and Tracy. According to his autobiography, Benny performed a number on the violin at a show one evening, when the sailors started booing and heckling him. O'Brien walked on stage and whispered in his ear, "For heaven's sake, Ben, put down the damn fiddle and talk to 'em." Benny stopped playing his violin and made a series of comments that got laughs from the audience. In this way, O'Brien indirectly helped to start Benny's career in comedy.

paragraph: After the war, O'Brien finished his secondary schooling at Marquette Academy and later attended Marquette University. While still at college, he decided to seek work as an actor. He and Spencer Tracy moved to New York, where they both attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. The two struggling young actors shared a small apartment, and began their careers on the stage.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: O'Brien spent a decade in plays on Broadway and in the New York City area.

paragraph: O'Brien made his film debut in the Vitaphone Varieties short film, "The Nightingale", produced in New York and released in August 1930. His first starring role was as ace reporter Hildy Johnson in the original 1931 version of "The Front Page" with Adolphe Menjou. In 2010, this film was selected by the National Film Preservation Board for preservation in the Library of Congress's National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

paragraph: He was the lead in Paramount's "Personal Maid" (1931), and appeared in a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical "Flying High" (1931), supporting Bert Lahr. He was Irene Dunne's love interest in RKO's "Consolation Marriage" (1932), then co-starred opposite a young Bette Davis in "Hell's House" (1932). O'Brien stayed in leads, going from studio to studio: "Scandal for Sale" (1932), at Universal; "The Strange Case of Clara Deane" (1932), at Paramount; "Hollywood Speaks" (1932), "American Madness" (1932) and "Virtue" (1932).

paragraph: O'Brien played a heroic pilot in Universal's "Air Mail" (1932), directed by John Ford. While at that studio he was in "Laughter in Hell" (1932) and "Destination Unknown" (1933). At the small Majestic Pictures he starred in "The World Gone Mad" (1933).

paragraph: Section::::Early career.:Warner Bros.

paragraph: O'Brien's first Warner Bros. movie was "Bureau of Missing Persons" (1933), starring Bette Davis. He went to RKO for "Flaming Gold" (1933) and MGM for "Bombshell" (1933), then Warners signed O'Brien to a long-term contract. He would remain with the studio until 1940, when he left after a dispute over the terms of his contract renewal.

paragraph: O'Brien supported Dick Powell in "College Coach" (1933) and Joan Blondell in "I've Got Your Number" (1934). He was third lead to Barbra Stanwyck and Joel McCrea in "Gambling Lady" (1934), then was with Powell again in "Twenty Million Sweethearts" (1934).

paragraph: "Here Comes the Navy" (1934) was O'Brien's first film with James Cagney, also under contract to Warners. The two originally met in 1926 and remained friends for almost six decades. After O'Brien's death, Cagney referred to him as his "dearest friend." O'Brien played the lead, a boxer, in "The Personality Kid" (1934), supported Powell in "Flirtation Walk" (1934) and was an auctioneer in "I Sell Anything" (1935).

paragraph: Cagney and O'Brien were reteamed in "Devil Dogs of the Air" (1935). He was a critic in love with Dolores Del Rio in "In Caliente" (1935) and had the lead in the bio-pic "Oil for the Lamps of China" (1935), which he called "one of my favorite pictures." "That was a sweetheart," he said.

paragraph: He and Cagney were in "The Irish in Us" (1935) then it was back to supporting Powell in "Page Miss Glory" (1935). He headlined a musical "Stars Over Broadway" (1935) then was back with Cagney for Howard Hawks' "Ceiling Zero" (1935). Cagney later sued Warners for billing O'Brien's name above his.

paragraph: "Jimmy's grand to work with," said O'Brien in 1935. "You couldn't ask for a better partner but there's a limit to all that. I think one picture a year with Jimmy would be fine. But as it is I've been with him in every uniform - the army, the navy, the police, the marines, the air corps - and it's always a case of me falling for his girl or him falling for mine. It gets tiresome... I don't just want to be a fast-talking Charlie all my life."

paragraph: Warners gave him some starring parts: "I Married a Doctor" (1936), "Public Enemy's Wife" (1936), "China Clipper" (1936), "The Great O'Malley" (1937), and "Slim" (1937) with Henry Fonda. He was a prison guard in "San Quentin" (1937) opposite Humphrey Bogart, romanced Blondell in "Back in Circulation" (1937) and was an old sailor in "Submarine D-1" (1938).

paragraph: O'Brien was pulled out of "Swing Your Lady" to support Kay Francis in "Women Are Like That" (1938) and was back with Powell for "Cowboy from Brooklyn" (1938). He and Cagney reteamed for "Boy Meets Girl" (1938), and he was meant to be back with Powell in "Garden of the Moon" (1938), but Powell refused to do it - he was replaced by John Payne.

paragraph: O'Brien has one of his best ever roles as the former street kid turned priest in "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938) with Cagney. He was with Blondell in "Off the Record" (1939) and "The Kid from Kokomo" (1939), and supported Ann Sheridan in "Indianapolis Speedway" (1939).

paragraph: He went over to Paramount for "The Night of Nights" (1939), part of a deal in which Warners bought the rights to "The Old Maid" from Paramount. He then made "Slightly Honorable" (1939) for United Artists.

paragraph: Back at Warner Bros he was reunited with Cagney for "The Fighting 69th" (1940) then made "Castle on the Hudson" (1940) with Sheridan and John Garfield. He was a cop in "'Til We Meet Again" (1940), supported Cagney and Sheridan in "Torrid Zone" (1940). He supported Garfield and Frances Farmer in "Flowing Gold" (1940).

paragraph: O'Brien was then given his best known role, as the famous University of Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne in "Knute Rockne, All American" (1940). In the film, he gave the speech to "win just one for the Gipper," referring to recently deceased football player, George Gipp, portrayed in the film by a young Ronald Reagan. Reagan later used this saying as a slogan for his campaign for president in 1980.

paragraph: O'Brien was at a career peak. He was considered for the role of Alvin York in the film "Sergeant York". From this high point, however, O'Brien left Warner Bros in July 1940.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.:Leaving Warner Bros.

paragraph: After he left Warner Bros. in 1940, O'Brien signed a contract with 20th Century Fox for two films a year. However they ended up not using him.

paragraph: He signed with Columbia Pictures to make two films a year. He was in "Escape to Glory" (1940), then was idle for a year before making "Two Yanks in Trinidad" (1942) with Brian Donlevy and "Flight Lieutenant" (1942) with Glenn Ford. At Universal he was in "Broadway" (1942) with George Raft.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.:RKO.

paragraph: Soon he signed a contract with RKO and appeared in several movies for that studio. He mostly played authority/military roles such as "The Navy Comes Through" (1942), and "Bombardier" (1943). "The Iron Major" (1943) was an attempt to repeat the success of "Knute Rockne" with O'Brien as "Frank Cavanaugh".

paragraph: At Universal he supported Deanna Durbin in "His Butler's Sister" (1943) then it was back to RKO for "Marine Raiders" (1944).

paragraph: Section::::Later career.

paragraph: O'Brien's movie career slowed considerably by the early 1950s, although he still managed to get work in television. In his autobiography, "The Wind At My Back", he professed to being completely flummoxed about the decline of his career. His close friend, Spencer Tracy, fought with his studio, MGM, to get roles for O'Brien in his films, "The People Against O'Hara" (1951) and "The Last Hurrah" (1958).

paragraph: He still had leads in films like "Okinawa" (1952), "Inside Detroit" (1956) and "Kill Me Tomorrow" (1957). In 1959 O'Brien appeared in one of his best-known movies as a police detective opposite George Raft in "Some Like It Hot", starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis.

paragraph: In his later years, O'Brien often worked in television. He was cast in 1956 and 1957 in four episodes of the religion anthology series, "Crossroads". In three of the four programs, he played priests. He also performed in two episodes of "The Virginian" in the mid-1960s. In the 1960-1961 television season, O'Brien joined Roger Perry in the 34-episode ABC sitcom, "Harrigan and Son", about a father-and-son team of lawyers. He played the lead role of James Harrigan, Sr.

paragraph: O'Brien made numerous appearances on television as himself, including several on "The Ed Sullivan Show". In 1957, he guest starred in the first season of the NBC variety program, "The Ford Show, Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford". Other shows in which he appeared as himself include the interview programs: "The David Frost Show", "The Tonight Show", "The Merv Griffin Show", and "The Joey Bishop Show". In 1957, Ralph Edwards profiled O'Brien's life and career for an episode of "This Is Your Life". He was also the mystery guest on the game show "What's My Line?" in 1953 and 1957. In the "Jennifer and the Will" episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati", he has a memorably comic turn as Jennifer Marlowe's elderly boyfriend. Shortly thereafter, O'Brien's final filmed performance came in a 1982 episode of "Happy Days".

paragraph: He had a small role as Burt Reynolds' father in the 1978 comedy film "The End", opposite Myrna Loy, cast as Reynolds' mother.

paragraph: In later years, O'Brien recalled that he had had three "great" movie roles in his career: Knute Rockne, Hildy Johnson in "The Front Page", and Father Duffy in "The Fighting 69th".

paragraph: From the 1960s through the early 1980s, O'Brien often traveled around the United States as a one-man act and in road shows. He also performed frequently in nightclubs.

paragraph: Near the end of his life, he toured in a stage production of "On Golden Pond", which he considered "absolutely the best play" he had ever read.

paragraph: Section::::"Irish Mafia".

paragraph: In the late 1930s, O'Brien and a small group of his actor friends began to meet to converse and exchange opinions and stories. Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky dubbed them the "Irish Mafia," but they preferred to call their social group the "Boys Club." In addition to O'Brien, the original members of the club were James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Allen Jenkins and Frank McHugh, all of whom were Irish-Americans. Later Lynne Overman joined their group and then George Brent, Louis Calhern, William Gargan, Regis Toomey, Ralph Bellamy, Lloyd Nolan and Frank Morgan. James Gleason and Bert Lahr were also frequent guests. The actors gathered to socialize, but they also occasionally used the group to discuss ideas about their latest movies. By the mid-1940s the group began to break up, as members either moved or died. Some of the surviving members kept in contact by telephone and occasional meetings.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: O'Brien and his wife, Eloise, had four children: Mavourneen, Sean, Terry, and Brigid. Three of his children were adopted. The youngest, Brigid O'Brien (born 1946), was his biological child. Eloise O'Brien occasionally appeared on stage with her husband.

paragraph: Among those who knew him personally, O'Brien was known for his love of storytelling, jokes, and late-night parties. Bob Hope specifically remembered him as a raconteur. Another friend recalled that he was always "the life, and I mean the lively life, of the party." He traveled to Vietnam as part of a US tour in February 1969.

paragraph: O'Brien died on October 15, 1983 from a heart attack at age 83, following minor prostate surgery. President Ronald Reagan, released a White House statement noting his sadness over his old friend's death. The president had called the actor at the hospital just days before his death.

paragraph: John Basset (1518–1541)

paragraph: John Basset (1518–1541) was a young English gentleman from Devon, a member of the old Basset family, and heir to a substantial inheritance. His short life is well documented in the Lisle Papers. He studied law at Lincolns Inn and at the age of 20, at the start of a promising career, entered the household of Thomas Cromwell, Lord Privy Seal, but died suddenly aged only 23, albeit having married and produced a son and heir, born posthumously. His stepfather and father-in-law was Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle (d.1542), Lord Deputy of Calais 1533–1540, a bastard son of King Edward IV and thus uncle of King Henry VIII, whose arrest with that of his mother in 1540 at Calais for heresy and treason, was a major, potentially catastrophic, event in his life. He died a year after the arrests, from an unknown illness, but his siblings all went on to have successful careers, especially his younger brother James, mostly as royal courtiers, apparently unaffected by the crisis.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: John Basset was born 26 October 1518, the eldest son and heir of Sir John Basset (1462–1528), KB, of Tehidy in Cornwall and Umberleigh in Devon (Sheriff of Cornwall in 1497, 1517 and 1522 and Sheriff of Devon in 1524) by his second wife Honor Grenville (died 1566), a daughter of Sir Thomas Grenville (died 1513) of Stowe in the parish of Kilkhampton, Cornwall, and lord of the manor of Bideford in North Devon, Sheriff of Cornwall in 1481 and in 1486.

paragraph: His siblings included:

paragraph: BULLET::::- George Basset (b."circa" 1522–5), second son, MP.

paragraph: BULLET::::- James Basset, MP, third son and youngest child, a courtier first to Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester and Lord Chancellor, later as a courtier to Queen Mary I.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Philippa Basset (b.1516), eldest daughter;

paragraph: BULLET::::- Katharine Basset, a servant to Queen Anne of Cleves.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Anne Basset (b.1521), third daughter, a courtier, maid of honour successively to Queens Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Katharine Parr, allegedly considered as a wife of King Henry VIII and may have been one of the Mistresses of Henry VIII.

paragraph: Section::::Youth.

paragraph: John's first ten years of childhood were probably spent at his father's principal seats of Umberleigh in Devon and Tehidy in Cornwall. After his father's death in 1528 John was brought up by his mother Honor Grenville and stepfather, Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle (d.1542), Lord Deputy of Calais, uncle of King Henry VIII. His mother's second marriage elevated the family from prominent West Country gentry into the highest circle of Tudor society, and also (by John's marriage to his step-sister) infused into them the royal blood of the last of the House of Plantagenet.

paragraph: Section::::Youth.:Wardship.

paragraph: Section::::Youth.:Wardship.:To John Worth and his mother.

paragraph: His father died in 1528 when John was still a minor aged 10 and on 29 May 1528 his wardship and marriage was purchased for 200 marks by John Worth of Compton Pole, Devon, Sewer to the Chamber of King Henry VIII, in partnership with his mother, still then Lady Basset. John Worth was a distant cousin of his ward, being 8th in descent from John Worth ("alias" Wrothe) of Worth in the parish of Washfield near Tiverton in Devon, who married Margaret Willington, the second daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Willington of Umberleigh. Yet Umberleigh did not descend in the male line of the Worth family as Margaret Willington bequeathed Umberleigh to her daughter Elizabeth Worth who married Sir William Palton, thus Umberleigh stayed in the Palton family for three generations until the family died out in the male line and Umberleigh reverted to the Beaumonts of Shirwell, surviving heirs of the Willingtons. Isabel Willington, the eldest sister of Margaret Willington and her co-heiress, had married William Beaumont (1376–1408) of Shirwell, whose eventual heir to Shirwell and to Umberleigh was the Basset family.

paragraph: Section::::Youth.:Wardship.:To Lord Lisle.

paragraph: Before 1532 however John Basset's wardship and marriage had been purchased by his step-father Lord Lisle who wishing to provide her a wealthy husband, married him off to his daughter, thus Basset's step-sister, Frances Plantagenet. In 1533 Lord Lisle was appointed Lord Deputy of Calais and moved there with Lady Lisle, John's mother, leaving John at Lord Lisle's manor of Soberton in Hampshire from 1533 to 1535.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: John's education is well recorded in the Lisle Papers, covering the period 1533 to 1540, held at the UK National Archives. Three of his letters to his mother survive in this collection, but most of the references to him are contained in letters written to his mother and step-father in Calais by their London business agent John Husee, who advised them and made practical arrangements and who knew his way amongst court and legal circles. He studied Latin for 14 months under the parson of Colmer. In 1534 aged 16 he entered Lincolns Inn to train in the law, where he remained until 1536. Much detail of his life as a trainee lawyer are preserved in the Lisle Papers, mainly in the letters from John Husee to Lord and Lady Lisle, concerning domestic matters such as the clothing he required, rent of his chambers, financial allowance, his recreations, etc. It was Husee who arranged for John's admittance to Lincolns Inn and who found him a law tutor and chambers, and who advised John on his clothing requirements and how to decorate his chambers. John had his own servant who lived with him named "Bremelcum". Husee wrote the following letter to Lady Lisle on 27 January 1535:

paragraph: "My humble duty premised unto your good ladyship...Mr Basset is all out of apparel. He hath never a good gown but one of chamlet the which was very ill-fashioned but it is now a'mending. His damask gown is nothing worth, but if it be possible it shall make him a jacket, for his coat of velvet was broken to guard his camlet gown. His satin jacket is meetly good and the other two nothing worth. His two doublets will serve, the third is but easy. He hath but one pair of white hosen and the kersey is not for him, therefore I have sent it by Edward Russell. More, he hath brought with him a feather bed, bolster, blankets, counterpoint and two pair of sheets. He must have another bed furnished with a pillow, tester, saye or other, with curtains. Madame, I intend to make him two pair of black hosen, a new gown of damask faced with foynes or genettes, and a study gown faced with fox pelts of cloth of five shillings the yard. His damask gown shall be guarded with velvet. And if I can compass it he shall have a gown of fine cloth furred with bogy, with a small guard of velvet; and his old damask gown shall make him a jacket. And this done he shall be well apparelled for this two years. He must have wood and coal in his chamber. And less than here written he cannot have to be anything likely apparelled as appertaineth to his birth...Bremelcum would have a new coat, for he hath but one..."

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: By 12 October 1538 the 20-year-old John had been placed in the household of Thomas Cromwell, Lord Privy Seal, chief minister to King Henry VIII. Lady Lisle was at this time petitioning Cromwell over the complex legal issues which were separating her son John from his Beaumont inheritance. At first John served as a waiter, which involved him being admitted every day to Cromwell's audience chamber when suitors presented their suits to the Lord Privy Seal. Such a career move had earlier been suggested by George Rolle, who believed that from serving Cromwell, John Basset might more easily progress to serving the king himself. His career was cut short by his early death in 1541 at the age of 23.

paragraph: Section::::Beaumont inheritance.

paragraph: John Basset as well as being heir to his extensive paternal lands was also heir to his maternal great-grandmother Joan (or Johanna) Beaumont (wife of John Basset (1374–1463)), the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Beaumont (1401–1450) of Shirwell by his wife Philippa Dinham, daughter of Sir John Dinham (1406–1458) of Nutwell, Kingskerswell and Hartland. Joan Beaumont was heiress to her brother Sir Philip Beaumont (1432–1473), MP in 1467 and Sheriff of Devon in 1469, and also to her mother Phillipa Dinham.

paragraph: These former Beaumont lands included the manors of Umberleigh and Heanton Punchardon in North Devon. However, as deduced by Byrne (1981), Basset's father (Sir John Basset (1462–1528)) lacked the financial resources to recover his inheritance, which involved paying fines and recoveries to the King. At the time he had been married for 30 years to his first wife Elizabeth Denys and had given up any hope of producing a surviving son and heir. To make the best of his situation, he obtained financing for the recoveries from Giles Daubeney, 1st Baron Daubeney (1451–1508), KG, under a special agreement entered into in 1504, referred to by the family as the "Great Indenture". This specified that Daubeney would pay about £2,000 for the recoveries on condition that one of the Basset daughters and co-heiresses would marry Daubeney's son Henry Daubeney (1493–1548) (later created Earl of Bridgewater), then aged 10, before his 16th birthday. The purpose was to entail the Beaumont lands upon the male issue of a Daubeney-Basset marriage, thus increasing the future wealth of the Daubeney family. However the indenture allowed for Sir John Basset and any future wives of his to retain possession of Umberleigh and lands in Bickington during their lives. If the scheme should fail due to the marriage not taking place and in default of other provisions, the lands would revert to the right heirs of Basset. To this effect Basset sent two of his four daughters by his first wife Elizabeth Denys, namely Anne and Thomasine, to live in the Daubeney household.

paragraph: The marriage never did take place and Lord Daubeny died four years later in 1508. Whether for those reasons or another the gamble paid off for John Basset (1462–1528) as his second wife Honor Grenville produced for him a son and heir in 1518 and the Beaumont lands eventually came back to the Basset family, not without great struggles.

paragraph: During the time when the agreement was operative the deeds to the properties concerned were kept in safe custody by Richard Coffin (1456–1523) of Portledge, Sheriff of Devon in 1510, the Beaumont's tenant at Heanton Punchardon and at East Hagginton (in the parish of Berrynarbor), who was clearly trusted by both parties, and whose Easter Sepulchre tomb survives in the chancel of Heanton Punchardon church. Basset's son George later married Richard Coffin's great-granddaughter Jacquet Coffin. The custody of these deeds forms an important topic in the Lisle Letters. The matter of John Basset's inheritance had not been resolved at the time of his death in 1541, despite intervention at the highest level from his master Thomas Cromwell.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and children.

paragraph: In 1538 he married Frances Plantagenet, the daughter and co-heiress of his warder and step-father Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle, bastard son of King Edward IV . She survived him and married secondly Thomas Monke (died 1583), of Potheridge in Merton, Devon (as his first wife), with whom she had three sons and three daughters. By her eldest son from this second marriage she was great-grandmother of George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle (1608–1670), KG. By Frances Plantagenet John Basset had the following children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Honor Basset, born at Calais in May 1539. Shortly after her birth in 1540 disaster fell on the family with the arrest of Lord and Lady Lisle on suspicion of heresy and treason. Lord Lisle was sent to the Tower of London where he died in 1542, while Lady Lisle was kept under house arrest in Calais until after her husband's death. It appears that before June 1540 John went swiftly to Calais after hearing the news and brought back his wife and daughter to England.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Sir Arthur Basset (1541–1586), born posthumously on 4 October 1541, eldest son and heir, MP, of Umberleigh. Due to his Plantagenet ancestry, Arthur's son Sir Robert Basset (1573–1641) made what turned out to be a foolish and costly decision to offer himself as one of the many claimants to the throne of England after the death of Queen Elizabeth, perhaps encouraged by his father-in-law Sir William Peryam, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. He suffered a heavy fine for his action which according to the biographer John Prince (died 1723), involved the sale of thirty of the family's manors.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Eleanor Basset, married to William Whiddon.

paragraph: Section::::Death and succession.

paragraph: John Basset died on 20 April 1541, having made his will on 17 April 1541, "whole and perfect of mind and memory and sick of my body", and was succeeded by his son Sir Arthur Basset (1541–1586). He was buried in unknown location ""whereas it shall please my friends". One of the witnesses to his will was his fellow North Devonian, the lawyer George Rolle (d.1552), who had done much to assist his mother and step-father in attempting to recover his Beaumont inheritance. He bequeathed all his estates in Devon, Cornwall and Wiltshire to his wife Frances for her life, "towards her living and advancement", whom he appointed his sole executrix and to whom he left all his goods and chattels. He listed his manors of Trevalga and Femarshall in Cornwall; Whitechapel, Holcombe, Upper Snellard, and lands in the parish of Chudleigh in Devon; and Calston in Wiltshire. These manors and the principal seats of Tehidy, Umberleigh and Heanton Punchardon eventually descended to his male heirs.

paragraph: Robert Templeton

paragraph: Robert Templeton (12 December 1802 – 2 June 1892) was a naturalist, artist, and entomologist, and was born at Cranmore House, Belfast, Ireland.

paragraph: Section::::Life and work.

paragraph: Robert Templeton was the son of John Templeton, and was educated in Belfast Academical Institution, which was in part his father's creation. In 1821 he left Ireland for Edinburgh, Scotland to study medicine and following graduation practised in the University hospital. In the same year he became a Member of the Belfast Natural History Society. In 1833 (6 May) he was commissioned as Assistant Surgeon in the Royal Artillery, initially stationed at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, close to London, England.

paragraph: In 1834, Templeton was stationed to Mauritius and in 1835 to Rio de Janeiro and Recife. From Rio (1835) he took ship to Colombo, Ceylon, "via" the Cape of Good Hope and in this year became a Corresponding Member of the Zoological Society of London. A brief sojourn in Ceylon was followed by a stay in Malta (1836). Later in 1836 he moved on to Corfu and Albania. In all these places Templeton collected insects and other invertebrates and in 1839 he became a Corresponding Member of the Entomological Society of London.

paragraph: A twelve-year stay in Ceylon (1839–1851) followed, and in 1847 Templeton was promoted from Assistant Surgeon to Surgeon.In these years at various times he visited Southern India - Madras, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka- and twice Northern India Uttarakhand and Kashmir. Recalled from Ceylon in 1852 due to the unrest in Europe which was to erupt in the bloody and terrible Crimean War, he served in the Crimea from March 1854–1856 and was promoted to Surgeon-Major on 7 December 1855. He retired with the honorary rank of Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals on 31 January 1860.

paragraph: Section::::Work on Thysanura.

paragraph: Templeton was particularly interested in the Thysanura and his first published entomological paper concerns these insects. "Thysanurae hibernicae" (Irish bristle tails and spring-tails) was published in the first volume of the Transactions of the Entomological Society of London for 1836 and is the first significant work in English on these primitive insects, remaining so until 1875. In this short work prefaced by John Obadiah Westwood Templeton described two new genera and twelve new species accompanied by two plates showing whole animals and details of structure. Forty years later the entomologist Lubbock paid tribute to Templeton's early work by naming a thysanuran genus after him — "Templetonia".

paragraph: Section::::Work on spiders.

paragraph: Much of Templeton's early work and very much in Ceylon was on spiders. Studies of Irish spiders were passed to John Blackwall who incorporated the notes and drawings into his own work. Oddly, although he collected "my old pets the spiders", he published very little on them.

paragraph: Section::::Work on Sri Lankan arthropods.

paragraph: In Ceylon Templeton worked mainly on Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera alongside Edgar Leopold Layard (1824–1900). New species of Lepidoptera collected by Templeton and Layard were described by Frederic Moore, Francis Walker and George Robert Gray. The new Coleoptera were described by Joseph Sugar Baly, Francis Walker, John Obadiah Westwood, Carl August Dohrn and Francis Polkinghorne Pascoe. Templeton's publications on Lepidoptera amount to some general comments on papilionid butterflies and two species descriptions — "Oiketicus terlius" and "Oiketicus (Cryptothelia) consortus".

paragraph: The bulk of the new beetles, some of the Hymenoptera (the rest were described by Frederick Smith) and other insects in Templeton's collection were described by Francis Walker who also compiled the first list of the insects of Ceylon for Tennent's book "Ceylon, Physical, Historical and Topographical" based on the collections of Templeton, Layard, the British Museum and the Museum of the East India Company; there are 2,000 species and Layard and Templeton captured between them 932 species of butterflies and moths in Ceylon many, new to science. Templeton supplied many of the insects incorporated in Westwood's book "Oriental Cabinet", one of which, the beetle "Compsosternus templetonii" bears his name.

paragraph: Unfortunately only the published part of Templeton's correspondence with Westwood (the Secretary of the Entomological Society) survived, the manuscripts are apparently lost. Templeton's Ceylon insect collection was apparently divided between the Belfast Museum (now in the National Museum of Ireland), the Entomological Society of London and the British Museum (the Entomological Society's collections are now incorporated in those of the latter institution). Templeton's watercolour paintings of Ceylon butterflies are in the Ulster Museum, Belfast. Templeton, Layard and George Henry Kendrick Thwaites and later John Nietner (died 1874) contributed almost all that was known of the insect fauna of the island at the end of the first half of the nineteenth century including a privately printed list of Thysanura, Myriapoda, Scorpionidea, Cheliferidae and Phrynidae (now Amblypygi) from Ceylon which is not traced, and remarked on the habits of the large poisonous centipedes "Scolopendra pallipes" and "S. crassa" in two (published) communications to Westwood. Many of his manuscripts were lost when the clipper Memnon sank in 1851.

paragraph: Section::::Templeton Insect Collection.

paragraph: Section::::Work on Mollusca and Annelida.

paragraph: Part of Templeton's Mollusca collection was described as "comprising several new and rare species hitherto undescribed". Amongst others are new species of each of these genera: "Achatina", "Helix", "Neritina", "Ampullaria", "Valvata", "Planorbis" and "Melania". Robert Templeton sent back to the Belfast Museum specimens of the Ceylonese pearl mussel showing growth stages of the mussels from the famous pearl fisheries of Ceylon. He also described two species of land-slug ("Vaginula maculata" and "Parfnacella tennenti") from Ceylon. It was Templeton who described the extraordinary giant earthworm "Megascole caeruleus" from Ceylon which is between 20 and 40 inches long and has a thickness of nearly an inch or more.

paragraph: Section::::Work on birds and mammals.

paragraph: Templeton also studied the vertebrates of the island, especially the fish, birds and monkeys. Amongst the birds were five endemic species new to science. These were described by Edward Blyth in the "Calcutta Journal" as "Athene castanotus", the chestnut-winged hawk owl; "Malacocercus rufescens", the red dung thrush; "Dicrurus edoliformis", the kingcrow, "Dicrurus leucopyygialis" the Ceylon kingcrow, and "Eulabes ptilogenes", Templeton's mynah. The monkeys were studiously appraised and some of the results communicated to the Zoological Society of London. These communications, one of the monkey "Cercopithecus pileatus" and the loris "Loris gracilis" and the other on a supposed new species "Semnopithecus leucoprymnus cephalopterus" which turned out to be identical with Bennet's "Semnopithecus nestor", are Templetons only personal contribution to the literature on the vertebrates of Ceylon. His knowledge of the smaller mammals, birds, reptiles and fishes was instead incorporated in the work of others, notably George Robert Waterhouse and his coworker Edgar Leopold Layard who in the introduction to "Notes on the Ornithology of Ceylon" says "I have had the advantage of consulting with Mr. Blyth and Drs. Templeton and Kelaart with each of whom i have been on terms of the closest intimacy and we mutually communicated our discoveries".
