paragraph: Fay Tincher

paragraph: Fay Tincher (April 17, 1884 – October 11, 1983) was an American comic actress in motion pictures of the silent film era. She was from Topeka, Kansas.

paragraph: Section::::Early career.

paragraph: She began her career on stage. In 1908 she was touring in California

paragraph: with "The Merry Go Round Company". In August of that year she may have married fellow actor, Ned Buckley, on a dare. He was a Yale graduate and a resident of Bridgeport, Connecticut. She visited her

paragraph: lawyer at the New York Life Insurance Building at 112-114 Broadway (Manhattan). She asked him to obtain a divorce if he learned that she was truly wed.

paragraph: While performing on the Keith-Albee-Orpheum vaudeville circuit, Tincher was approached by a man who commented about her resemblance to actress Mabel Normand. She did not know Normand because she had never seen a movie in 1913. The agent gave her his card and said he wanted director D.W. Griffith to see her. The following day she came calling at Biograph Studios. In her first role Griffith cast her in the role of a vamp. Within three weeks she began to play comedy, at first slapstick, and later comedy drama.

paragraph: Section::::Films.

paragraph: Tincher played in "Bill Manages A Fighter" (1914), one of a series of "Bill" comedy shorts. It was made by the Komic Pictures Company of Los Angeles, California. The performers worked out of the Reliance Studios. Directed by Edward Dillon, former ex-lightweight fighter "Hobo" Dougherty was among the featured actors. In one scene Tincher encourages Dougherty "to get knocked out" on film. However she has trouble convincing the fight veteran that he is not really in a pugilistic contest.

paragraph: By the end of 1915 Tincher worked for the Fine Arts Film Company. Aside from comic roles, she often depicted working class types such as a laundry girl in "Laundry Liz" (1916). Dillon directed and Anita Loos was the scenarist. The short movie was released by the Keystone Film Company. In "Skirts" (1916) Tincher plays an artist's

paragraph: model who becomes a victim of drugs. This was a new type of role for her.

paragraph: Tully Marshall plays the artist.

paragraph: Griffith staged a presentation of comic bull fights, massive floats, theatrical comedy, and drama, in July 1915. The production was

paragraph: called "the Pageant of the Photoplay". Audiences were able to view directors carrying megaphones, the process of film development, and movies being put together in make-up rooms. Tincher played a dramatic part in a comedy on the final day of the event. A stage was assembled and four scenes were acted out.

paragraph: In 1918 Tincher became head of her own company, Fay Tincher Productions. Her movies were released by the World Film Company.

paragraph: In the "Andy Gump" comedy series (1923–1928) Tincher played "Min", who wears her hair bobbed. The series numbered around forty-five films and was produced by Universal Pictures and Samuel Von Honkel.

paragraph: American cartoonist Sidney Smith created the film characters.

paragraph: Tincher's final motion picture was "All Wet" (1930). This is a two reel comedy short directed by Sam Newfield.

paragraph: Section::::Inheritance.

paragraph: Tincher inherited $25,000 from the bequest of the will of Mrs. Julian

paragraph: Dick, who died from inhaling illuminating gas on December 22, 1930.

paragraph: Dick's residence was at 116 East 36th Street in New York City. Her

paragraph: husband, Captain Dick, was a member of the New York Cotton Exchange.

paragraph: He had been accidentally shot to death by a friend in 1922.

paragraph: Section::::Private life.

paragraph: In May 1915 Tincher won a bathing suit contest at Venice Beach, California with a first prize of $50. She wore a costume that was resembled her famous "typewriter dress", which she wore in movies. A crowd of approximately 75,000 attended the procession.

paragraph: In 1918 she roomed with scenario writer, Maie B. Havey, in a small bungalow. Tincher liked working in the fine art of vitreous enamel.

paragraph: Fay Tincher died of a heart attack in Brooklyn, New York in 1983 at the age of 99.

paragraph: The Field (musician)

paragraph: Axel Willner is a Swedish electronic music producer and DJ from Stockholm and currently based in Berlin, best known for his releases as The Field, blending micro-samples of pop songs into atmospheric minimal techno.

paragraph: Section::::History.

paragraph: Born in southern Sweden, Willner spent his formative years living in Stockholm and (for a brief time) Lisbon. As a teenager he studied at a formal music academy but cited groups like Misfits and Dead Kennedys as inspiration to pick up the guitar and play in punk bands.

paragraph: Willner became enamored with the burgeoning electronic music scene in the mid-1990s. He started playing drone and Warp-influenced IDM in Stockholm venues with friend Ola Keijer (alias Ola K) as duo Speedwax. Beginning in the early 2000s, Willner produced guitar-based ambient music using multiple pseudonyms (Lars Blek, Porte, Cordouan, James Larsson) through his own Garmonbozia label, and performed alongside fellow Swedish musicians such as Andreas Tilliander, Sarah Nyberg Pergament (alias Action Biker), and longtime friend Johan Skön.

paragraph: Willner began recording music under The Field moniker in 2003 as a platform to combine his early affinity for pop artists like Lionel Richie, Kate Bush, and The Four Tops with a myriad of more recent influences ranging from shoegaze bands like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine to 1990s ambient electronica such as Seefeel and the projects of Wolfgang Voigt (largely the acclaimed albums under Voigt's Gas handle). In 2004, he submitted a demo tape to celebrated German label Kompakt and was subsequently signed. Shortly thereafter, in early 2005, Willner debuted as The Field with a remix of Annie's single "Heartbeat" and also released the "Things Keep Falling Down" 12-inch. The 2006 release of 12-inch "Sun & Ice" (in addition to remixes for James Figurine and 120 Days) added to the growing anticipation for a debut LP.

paragraph: Kompakt released his first full-length "From Here We Go Sublime" on March 26, 2007. The record received near-universal critical acclaim; according to Metacritic, it was the best-reviewed album of the year (tied with "Untrue" by UK dubstep producer Burial). Resident Advisor placed the record 29th on their list of the decade's top 100 albums. Willner himself has admitted to being surprised by the positive reception, stating that "since it is a bit different than (most) other techno, I thought that people wouldn't like it" and "it ended up bigger than I ever expected."

paragraph: Later in 2007, Willner became the first musician to participate in the Sound of Light project curated by the Nordic Light Hotel, using his experience at the Stockholm hotel as basis for his EP of the same name. Also during that year he contributed remixes to artists such as Thom Yorke, Battles, and Gui Boratto.

paragraph: Extensive touring in both Europe and North America supported "Sublime", which included appearances at Pitchfork Music Festival, Sónar, Field Day, and All Tomorrow's Parties, as well as select dates with !!! (Chk Chk Chk). But Willner soon grew weary of his solo performances and incorporated a backing band times made up of (at various times) multi-instrumentalist Andreas Söderstrom (of Taken by Trees), bassist/keyboardist Dan Enqvist, and drummer Jesper Skarin. While this collaborative approach to live performance and songwriting in some measure recalled his time playing in rock bands, it also fostered a more organic evolution of The Field's ever-expanding sound palette. Willner abandoned any utilization of his laptop during concerts in favor of live mixing with synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines, although for studio production he has kept the Jeskola Buzz freeware that he had used since his earliest recording endeavors.

paragraph: The Field's second album "Yesterday and Today" was released via Kompakt on 18 May 2009. Rather than adhering to the strict 4x4 techno of his debut, Willner incorporated far more diverse influences for his sophomore outing: Manuel Göttsching and 1970s Krautrock, the disco of Giorgio Moroder, the soundtrack works of director John Carpenter, and minimalist composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Recorded on a remote island outside of Stockholm, the studio sessions drew upon Willner's renewed interest in collaboration and thus featured contributions from many other musicians, most notably Battles drummer John Stanier on the title track. The album also included a cover of The Korgis' 1980 single "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime". Following the much-praised release were multiple festival appearances and a stateside tour with The Juan Maclean, and a remix EP with interpretations from Gold Panda, Walls, and Rainbow Arabia. "The More That I Do" was released as the record's lone single, backed with remixes courtesy of Thomas Fehlmann (of The Orb) and Foals.

paragraph: Following the release of "Yesterday and Today", Willner relocated from Stockholm to Germany and went on to produce remixes for artists such as Maserati, Bear in Heaven, Errors, and Harmonia (specifically a track from their "Tracks and Traces" collaboration with Brian Eno). He then joined Cologne Tape, a German-based collective including (among others) John Stanier, Jens-Uwe Beyer (Popnoname), and Michaela Dippel (Ada), whose Motorik-fueled debut entitled "Render" was released on 14 June 2010, on the Magazine imprint.

paragraph: Kompakt issued "Looping State of Mind", Willner's third LP as The Field, on 24 October 2011. The album expanded on the organic instrumentation of "Yesterday and Today" in its use of piano, synthesizer, bass guitar, acoustic drums, steel drums, and vibraphone (among others), while focusing on themes of memory and repetition. Keeping in line with its predecessors it garnered a considerable amount of critical praise. A remix EP followed in 2012 with contributions from Junior Boys, Blondes, and Wolfgang Voigt's latest project Mohn. Also in 2012, Willner released "And Never Ending Nights" as Loops of Your Heart, a more drone-inclined venture through Magazine on 13 February.

paragraph: "Cupid's Head", Willner's fourth LP as The Field, was released on 30 September 2013 via Kompakt. The album was a markedly darker turn in his discography and was also his first release that was solely his work since his debut. On 10 February 2014 Willner released the LP "The Soul Is Quick" under the alias Hands through Ecstatic Recordings. "The Soul Is Quick" was recorded in the spring of 2012 and is similar in style to that of Loops Of Your Heart, evolving on the drone/noise sound that was established on "And Never Ending Nights".

paragraph: Jane Maria Bowkett

paragraph: Jane Maria Bowkett (1837–1891) was a British traditional Victorian genre painter who worked primarily in oils. Her work has been described as follows 'Jane Maria painted mainly delightful, slightly naive pictures of women and children, either interiors, or often beach scenes'. She managed, however, to establish a successful career as a professional artist in a male dominated occupation. It has been suggested that in some paintings, she created scenes that were ambiguous by refusing to depict women as models of moral virtue, and depicting mothers and children as being content regardless of a male presence. It is also suggested that the painting "Young Lady in a Conservatory" makes social commentary on the moral restrictions placed upon women as the subject is seen in a small conservatory with minimal room to move.

paragraph: Section::::Biography and career.

paragraph: Born in the nineteenth century, Jane Maria Bowkett was the eldest of thirteen siblings. Many of her sisters became artists as well. Her father, Thomas Bowkett, was a medical practitioner and was active in the Chartist Movement. In 1862 J. M. Bowkett married the artist Charles Stuart, but continued to sign her work using her maiden name. She gave birth to six children, only three of which survived childbirth. The family, however, subsequently prospered, and in the mid 1880s Bowkett and her husband finally purchased an impressive newly-built property in Hampstead with a huge galleried studio connected to the spacious house by a barrel-vaulted conservatory. She lived in this home until her death in 1891.

paragraph: When Bowkett was first training to paint she attended a government-run school of design in London. Bowkett worked primarily in oils in which she often painted everyday domestic and genre scenes. She had a successful career. Her exhibition record started in 1858 with "Angels Heads after Joshua Reynolds" at the Society of Female Artists (later the Society of Women Artists). In 1860, she made her debut at the British Institution with "Put your finger in the foxhole". This was sold for 3 guineas. Her last painting was exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy ("The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington") in 1891. The price was £35. During the intervening years she exhibited over 120 paintngs at these and many other galleries such as Society of British Artists (RBA), Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Walker Art Gallery, Manchester Art Gallery, Royal Institute of Oil Painters. High prices could be achieved for her work; for instance, at the RBA in 1875 "On the Sands at Shanklin, Isle of Wight" sold for £157.10s. She also had four exhibits at the Royal Academy; one in 1861 ("Preparing for dinner"), two in 1881 ("Ophelia" and "Four miles more") and one in 1882 ("Sally in our Alley", etc.).

paragraph: Section::::Interpretation of Jane Maria Bowkett's work.

paragraph: An example of Bowkett's work which has been subject to feminist interpretation is "Preparing Tea" (or "Time for tea" as it had been retitled when sold for £2000 at Christie's South Kensington on 16 March, 2011). This painting shows a woman, presumably a wife and mother, spreading jam on toast as she gazes out the window while one of her children is toasting bread by a fire and the other child in carrying a pair of men's slippers. It has been suggested that Bowkett leaves some ambiguity in the facial expression of the mother as she sees her husband's train approaching in the distance. And that this piece depicted the ability of women and children alike to be happy without having to rely on a male presence. This critic also suggests that Bowkett's work combined concepts of everyday life, idealized domestic scenes, and ideals of motherhood in which she refused to depict women as being models of domestic virtue. This interpretation is suggested to be demonstrated in some of her other works where Bowkett depicts women bothering themselves with their home duties and not fulfilling expectations that were set for them. The critic concludes that by disrupting the interaction between form and content, Bowkett is able to leave moral ambiguity in her work.

paragraph: It has been suggested that Bowkett saw conservatories as a form of artificial paradise. The painting "Young Lady in a Conservatory" (1870-1880) depicts a young woman in a conservatory tending to a lily in a large pot. Around her are various other plants such as fuchsias, pelargoniums, and ferns. It has been further suggested that this work depicts a sense of enclosure and makes social commentary about the moral restrictions set out for middle class women at this time (1870-1880) and that the protruding stamens on the lily add a reference to a sexual awakening which ties back to the concepts of moral restrictions.

paragraph: Philibert-Louis Debucourt

paragraph: Philibert-Louis Debucourt, (13 February 1755 – 22 September 1832) was a French painter and engraver.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Debucourt, was born in Paris in 1755, and became a pupil of Vien. He executed a few plates in mezzotint, such as the "Heureuse famille", the "Benediction de la mariée", and the "Cruche cassée", after his own designs. Most of his work was, however, in aquatint. He became the leading maker of multi-plate colour prints, combining washes of aquatint with line-engraving. He used a number of different techniques, but most involved three colour plates, and a fourth key plate, outlining the design in black.

paragraph: Debucourt's father-in-law was the sculptor Louis-Philippe Mouchy. In the marriage contract Mouchy generously offered to provide a three-room apartment at the Louvre, where Debucourt lived for twelve and a half years. The address of this apartment is often given on his prints.

paragraph: Some of his work was satirical, such as "La promenade publique", an aquatint of 1792 showing a crowd in the gardens the Palais-Royal. As well as work from his own designs, he made aquatints after Carle Vernet, including the "Horse Frightened by a Lion", the "Horse Frightened by Lightning" and the "Strayed Huntsman".

paragraph: Debucourt was assisted for some years by his pupil and nephew, Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet. He died at Belleville in 1832.

paragraph: Zdenka Braunerová

paragraph: Zdislava Rosalina Augusta Braunerová, called Zdenka (9 April 1858, Prague - 23 May 1934, Prague) was a Czech landscape painter, illustrator and graphic artist, whose work was influenced by her connection to Paris. She was the first female member of the Mánes Union of Fine Arts, and a patron of numerous other Czech artists.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: She was born into a wealthy family. Her father was , a member of the Imperial Council. She developed her interest in art from her mother, Augusta, who was an amateur painter. Prominent writers and artists were regular guests at her home. As her talents became apparent, she began taking lessons from Amalie Mánesová. Later, she studied with Soběslav Pinkas.

paragraph: All of this was in addition to her regular education, and her parents were taken by surprise when she informed them that she had decided to pursue painting as a profession, but they could not dissuade her. In part, this decision may have been prompted by her meeting with Antonín Chittussi, a young painter with whom she would develop a long friendship, verging on a romance. The relationship cooled, however, toward the end of Chittussi's life, as did one with Julius Zeyer, who was seventeen years her senior. Later, a planned marriage to Vilém Mrštík was called off at the last minute.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:The influence of Paris.

paragraph: A major inspiration for her art was Paris, where she spent part of each year from 1881 to 1893, and the painters of the Barbizon school. Her future brother-in-law, Élémir Bourges, served as her guide and introduced her to many literary figures such as Maurice Maeterlinck and Anatole France. While there, she also attended the Académie Colarossi and exhibited frequently; in Paris at the Salon and in Prague at the Rudolfinum. However, through all of these years, she never abandoned her connections to her homeland, often taking part in performances where she would dance in Czech costumes and sing folk songs. She had, in fact considered becoming a singer before turning to art. In 1896, she became the first female member of the Mánes Union of Fine Arts, but was apparently expelled in 1906.

paragraph: Later, she opened a studio in Roztoky and, in 1902, she extended an invitation to Auguste Rodin to visit Bohemia and Moravia. In 1909, she developed a close friendship with Paul Claudel, who was serving as the French consul in Prague. She also had one last affair, probably platonic, with the writer . He was twenty-five years younger and her family was scandalized, but he died in 1917 from wounds suffered in World War I. Roztoky would be her home for the rest of her life, and she would draw inspiration from the rural people and landscapes, while keeping a detailed diary and series of sketchbooks. She continued to exhibit until 1932 and died while staying at her family's home in Prague.

paragraph: In addition to her painting, she was also a printmaker, book designer and glass engraver. For many years, she was involved in efforts to help prevent the destruction of the Staré Město (the Medieval section of Prague) and Josefov (the old Jewish ghetto). As part of this effort, she created a series of prints depicting the area. Many younger artists, such as František Bílek, Jan Zrzavý and Joža Uprka, received financial support from her.

paragraph: Christian Frederick Beyers

paragraph: Christiaan Frederik Beyers (23 September 1869 – 8 December 1914) was a Boer general during the Second Boer War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: As a young man, he went to the Transvaal, where he took a prominent part on the Boer side in the South African War, winning high distinction in the field and bearing the rank of general when peace was made in 1902. Beyers had much influence, as soldier and statesman, among the Dutch-speaking people of South Africa, and was, with Generals Botha and Smuts, though in a less degree than they, one of the recognized leaders of the Transvaal Boers.

paragraph: When responsible government was granted to the Transvaal, Beyers became speaker of the Lower House. He showed in the speaker's chair remarkable gifts. He was acute, tolerant and rigidly impartial, thus making a deep impression upon English-speaking South Africans, who would have supported his claims to be the first speaker of the first South African House of Assembly, had they been pressed by Louis Botha, the first Prime Minister. Instead, Beyers was made commandant general of the Citizen Forces of the Union Defence Force of South Africa, and in that capacity paid a visit to Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands in 1912.

paragraph: A man of fine physique, of passionate nature, and of profound religious convictions, Beyers, as commandant general of South Africa, was entertained with marked attentions during his visit to Germany by Kaiser Wilhelm II. When World War I broke out, he set himself in almost open opposition to the policy of the Botha government. For some months, this opposition smouldered. Then, at a moment when the South African expeditionary force was being mobilized for the invasion of German South-West Africa, and when rebellion was already smouldering among the irreconcilables of the South African Dutch, Beyers resigned his post as commandant general in a letter addressed to General Smuts, then Minister of Defence, and published in "Het Volk", an anti-government journal. In this letter he declared that he had always disapproved the Government's intention to invade German South-West Africa and that this disapproval was shared by the great majority of the Dutch-speaking people of the Union. General Smuts replied in a stern letter declaring that the war was a test of the loyalty to their pledged word of the Dutch-speaking people, and accepting Beyers' resignation. He had a friendship with JF Naudé and Naudé named his son CFB Naudé after him.

paragraph: A few weeks later Beyers took the field as a leader of the Boer Rebels against the government, only to be overwhelmed by the government troops under the command of General Botha, to be driven from pillar to post as a fugitive, and to be wounded and consequently drowned on 8 December 1914, while trying to escape from his pursuers by crossing the Vaal River. His body was recovered two days later, and with his death the rebellion was brought to an end.

paragraph: Afonso of Lencastre (1597–1654), was a Portuguese nobleman, son of the 3rd Dukes of Aveiro, Álvaro and Juliana of Lencastre. This family descended from the Infante George of Lencastre, therefore they had royal blood.

paragraph: By a royal decree dated from 8 April 1627, King Philip III of Portugal (aka Philip IV of Spain) granted him the new title of Marquis of Porto Seguro.

paragraph: In spite of the Portuguese revolution of 1 December 1640, Afonso remained faithful to the Spanish Habsburgs. To reward his fidelity, King Philip IV granted him, by a decree issued on 23 March 1642, the new titles of Duke of Abrantes and Marquis of Sardoal. However, as Philip IV was no longer King of Portugal, these two titles were never recognise by the Portuguese authorities.

paragraph: D. Afonso was born in his family palace, in Azeitão (near Setúbal), Portugal, and, on 15 July 1627, he married a Spanish lady, Ana de Sande de Padilla, 2nd Marchioness of Valdefuentes. They had 4 children:

paragraph: Count John VII of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst (nicknamed "the Dike Builder"; 9 September 1540 in Oldenburg – 12 November 1603 in Oldenburg) was a member of the House of Oldenburg and was the ruling Count of County of Oldenburg from 1573 until his death. His parents were Count Anthony I of Oldenburg and Sophie of Saxe-Lauenburg.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: In 1573, John VII inherited the County of Oldenburg from his father. In 1575, he inherited the Lordship of Jever from Maria of Jever, despite objections by Count Edzard II of East Frisia. In 1577, he had to concede the revenue from Harpstedt, Delmenhorst, Varel and some minor castles to his younger brother Anthony II for a 10-year period. In 1597, the Aulic Council ordered that the County of Delmenhorst be split off from Oldenburg; this separation would last until 1647.

paragraph: In 1596, John VII attempted to dam the Schwarze Brack, in order to create a land link from Oldenburg to Jever. He had to cancel this project under pressure of Edzard II. John VII nevertheless earned the nickname "dike builder" with his costly land reclamation projects in Butjadingen and the Jade Bight.

paragraph: He reorganized the administration and the judiciary and modernized the organization of the Lutheran Church in Oldenburg. His superintendent Hamelmann unified the Lutheran confession.

paragraph: John VII died in 1603 and was succeeded by his son Anthony Günther.

paragraph: Ann Park

paragraph: Helen Anne Park, known as Ann Park or Anna Park, was baptised on 16 December 1770 in Edinburgh, Scotland. She was the daughter of Joseph Park, an Edinburgh coachmaker and Jean Dick. The record of Ann's baptism gives her mother's name as Ann Dick, but the parents marriage record states her name to be Jean Dick. The records of all of Ann's subsequent siblings also give their mother's name as Jean Dick. Ann married John Greenshiels, or Greenshields, on 11 November 1794 in Edinburgh, Scotland. She bore the poet Robert Burns an illegitimate child named Elizabeth "Betty" Burns. Her name is given as 'Ann Hislop' on her daughter's death certificate of 13 June 1873.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.

paragraph: It has been commonly believed that Ann was a niece of Mrs Jean 'Meg' Hyslop (born Jean or Jane Maxwell), who was the landlady at the Globe Tavern in Dumfries. She first met Burns when she was only nineteen and following an affair with the poet, Ann Park gave birth on 31 March 1791 to Robert Burns's daughter, Elizabeth "Betty" Burns, just a few days before his wife Jean Armour gave birth to his son, William Nicol Burns. Ann Park gave the child Elizabeth to Burns in 1793 when was seeking a position as a domestic servant. Mackay relates that she was in fact the second-cousin of William 'Jock' Hyslop, Jean's husband, his father having remarried an Ann Park in 1733. Mackay gives no references to support these claims.

paragraph: As previously stated, she married the tradesman John Greenshields on 11 November 1794 in Edinburgh, Scotland. One tradition is that she died whilst giving birth to Elizabeth, whilst another more evidenced tradition alleges that she became a domestic servant in Leith or Edinburgh, where she married John Greenshields, a soldier, and died in giving birth to his child. Mackay relates that she married a carpenter named John Greenshields on 11 November 1794. John married a Jane Boyd in 1799, suggesting that Ann was dead by this time. Neither marriage resulted in children. Mackay states his version was based on "A detailed study of the registers of Edinburgh and Leith". A more thorough study reveals the following.

paragraph: Ann married John Greenshields on 17 November 1794. They had 5 children; James, baptised 14 March 1797 in St Cuthberts, Edinburgh; John, baptised 25 January 1798 in St Cuthberts; Margaret, baptised 20 August 1801 in St Cuthberts; Ann, baptised 26 April 1808 in Leith South; Elisabeth, baptised 4 August 1811 in Leith South. The records show a John Greenshields married Margaret Morris in Leith South in 1818 and they had 4 children. The naming of the children suggests this was the same John that married Ann Park, indicating that Ann died sometime between the birth of Elisabeth in 1811 and John's remarriage in 1818. Note that Mackay correctly stated that a John Greenshields married Jane Boyd in 1799 in Edinburgh. This has doubtless led Mackay and others to the wrong conclusion that Ann had died. In fact this was a different John, and he and Jane had a daughter, Christiana Jane, in 1800. All of the latter information can be found through the "Scotland's People" website.

paragraph: Brown records that two of Ann's grandsons were at the 1859 Glasgow Anniversary Celebrations, sons therefore of her daughter Betty and John Thomson.

paragraph: Section::::Life and character.:Association with Robert Burns.

paragraph: Burns first met Ann Park at the Globe Tavern in Dumfries, where she worked as a barmaid. She was Burns's ""Anna of the gowden locks"".

paragraph: Ann was also the inspiration of his ""Yestreen, I had a pint of wine"" – the lovesong that Burns considered his best. In his totally unrepentant postscript the poet wrote :

paragraph: Very little primary evidence survives about the relationship between Burns and Ann Park. Local tradition relates that Ann ""had other pretty ways to render herself agreeable to the customers at the inn than the serving of wine"", however no real evidence exists to confirm this. She is said to have died in giving birth to Elizabeth, while another tradition alleges that she became a domestic servant in Leith or Edinburgh, where she married a soldier, and died in giving birth to his child.

paragraph: Section::::Elizabeth "Betty" Burns.

paragraph: Elizabeth "Betty" Burns was born on 31 March 1791 in Leith, Midlothian, Edinburgh (1791–1873), after Ann had returned to her parents or sister in the later stages of her pregnancy. Elizabeth was indisputably the daughter of Ann Park and Robert Burns. Jean Armour brought up Elizabeth, as one of her own family, commenting that ""Our Robin should hae had twa wives."" She received, at the age of 21, the sum of £200 from the fund raised by her father's admirers.

paragraph: Betty kept in contact with the family and in November 1819 Isobel Begg, Burns' youngest sister, relates in a letter that Betty's husband had been out of work for some time and was now working as a labourer earning nine shillings a week except for when the weather was bad. She wrote ""God help them! Poor creatures! I have not filled my mouth once but I have thought of them."" In 1843 she wrote to Isobel Begg nee Burns recalling that she had named her children James and Sarah at the behest of Jean Armour and that in 1833 Jean had sent her £2 to purchase a frock for her youngest child. The letter to Isobel dated from after Jean's death and in it she was highly complimentary about Jean, the lady who had raised her.

paragraph: She is said to have been named by her mother's friends and remained in Leith for two years until Jean sent a servant to bring her to the Burns' home at Ellisland. She had her father's looks and the neighbours at Leith were aware of her parentage. Jean gave her the surname Burns after her husband's death.

paragraph: Elizabeth or 'Betty' Burns as she was known, married Private John Thomson of the Stirlingshire Militia. He was the son of William Thomson and Agnes Adam, and had been born in Glasgow in 1788. They married on 2 June 1808 in Dumfries, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Thomson sent Betty to stay with his parents in Pollokshaws, Glasgow, until he left the militia in 1814, taking up the trade of handloom weaving, and remaining in Pollockshaws until their deaths. John died on 22 February 1869, and Betty died on 13 June 1873 in Crossmyloof at the age of 82. They are both buried in the Old Burgher churchyard in Pollokshaws.

paragraph: Their children were William Thomson b. 23 March 1809, d. 22 May 1855; Jean Armour Thomson b. 27 July 1815, d. 22 January 1891; Robert Burns Thomson b. 16 December 1817, d. 14 April 1887; Agnes Thomson b. c 1821, d. 6 May 1865; Sarah Burns Thomson b. c 1825, d. 15 December 1885; James Glencairn Thomson b. 19 October 1827, d. 9 July 1911; Elizabeth Thomson b. 26 July 1830; and Margaret Thomson b. 3 May 1833, d. 23 November 1896.

paragraph: She felt that the Burns family did not accept her, most notably through her exclusion from the Burns Festival in Ayr of 1844. Significantly her son Robert was rejected upon trying to greet his father's sons, his uncles, at the Ayr Festival. She stated that her 'unfortunate' birth was the greatest stain by far on her father's character.

paragraph: Section::::Micro-history.

paragraph: Some confusion exists over Ann Parks first name and surname, with variations such as Ann Hyslop, Helen Anne Hislop, Etc. The variation Helen Hyslop adds to the confusion as a 'beauty' of this name from Moffat is said to have had an affair and a daughter, also Helen, by the poet.

paragraph: A letter of 1792 to Maria Riddell has led to speculation that she had been asked by Burns to carry out a task regarding Elizabeth, Ann's daughter.

paragraph: Janet Elsie-May Coom, the great, great, great granddaughter of Robert Burns, through Anna Park, was made an honorary member of the Irvine Burns Club in January 2009.

paragraph: Anita Parkhurst Willcox

paragraph: Anita Parkhurst Willcox (1892–1984) was an American artist, feminist and pacifist. Her career as a graphic illustrator was interrupted by 15 months spent entertaining the troops in World War I, which left her passionately anti-war. During the 1920s, she gained fame for drawing "the New American Woman" image, but this contradicted her personal experiences as wife and mother. By the 1930s, she drew images that reflected her own life and beliefs. She was inspired by Gandhi's non-violence, and in Mao's China; but met rejection and censorship during the McCarthy era. Despite this, she continued painting until her death in 1984.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Anita Parkhurst Willcox was born in Chicago, in 1892. She studied at the Chicago Art Institute from 1909 to 1913, learning classic drawing; but also studying mural-painting with John W. Norton. While a student, she began her commercial art career drawing illustrations of hats for Gages, the largest millinery company in the United States. She then moved to New York City, where she worked as a graphic artist and commercial illustrator, initially sharing a studio with Neysa McMein. Between 1913 and 1929, her commercial graphics included covers for Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Every Week, Fashion Art, McCalls, and Screenland; posters for the YMCA, and numerous advertising illustrations. She signed her commercial work throughout this period with her maiden name, "Anita Parkhurst".

paragraph: In New York, Willcox joined the social and intellectual group that after 1919 formed the Algonquin Round Table. (Willcox was an occasional participant in this group during the 1920s). She studied art briefly with George Bellows and Robert Henri (called the "Ashcan School" of art), but left after they objected to her "classic" drawing style.

paragraph: She married engineer Henry Willcox in 1918.

paragraph: Section::::Entertaining troops, World War I.

paragraph: In 1918, two weeks after her marriage, Willcox went to France, to work with the YMCA to support American troops. She worked in a canteen stationed with the American First Division army during the Second Battle of the Somme (1918) in March 1918, then in the Gondecourt sector. With artist Neysa McMein and Jane Bullard, she developed and performed a vaudeville show which toured the troops on the front lines. Willcox and McMein also painted elephants on an observation balloon and artillery guns. She remained with the US army when it entered Germany, returning to New York in March 1919. These experiences made her a committed pacifist.

paragraph: Section::::"New American Woman" image.

paragraph: After the war, Willcox resumed both her commercial art career in New York, and her married life. She became known for creating the "New American Woman" image – idealized pictures of women who were young, beautiful, fashionable, invariably white and economically successful. A feature newspaper article by Thompson Feature Services in 1921 reads: "The name of Anita Parkhurst is signed with greater frequency than that of any other artist . . .her work has a certain touch."

paragraph: Section::::Conflicts between art career and gender roles.

paragraph: Between 1921 and 1926 Willcox gave birth to four children; she adopted a fifth in 1930. In 1923, following the birth of her third child, Willcox spent six months in bed with puerperal fever (childbirth fever). This led her to question the contradictions between the idealized images she produced, and the actualities of women's lives.

paragraph: In 1925, Willcox wrote a book called "Between Jobs and Babies",exploring the changing nature of women's roles in industrial society. Leading women academics responded positively; Edith Stern, reviewing the book for Boni and Liveright, commented: "This is exactly the book I have wanted to have written." Despite the reviews, Willcox was unable to find a publisher.

paragraph: Arguing that the idealized "pretty girls" she drew for commercial illustration were "socially pernicious", Willcox quit her career as a commercial artist.

paragraph: Section::::Towards gendered social realism.

paragraph: From 1928, Willcox sought to create art that captured her own experiences and perceptions. In 1930, she studied briefly with John Sloan at the Art Student's League. She traveled extensively, sketching scenes, events, and people around her. She did not attempt to position this artwork within the "art world", and made few attempts to hold gallery exhibitions. All of her work from this period on is signed "Anita Willcox", or "AW".

paragraph: During the Depression, Willcox designed posters and graphics for Norman Thomas' League for Industrial Democracy, and for Masses magazine. She drew caricatures for Colliers of AFL leader W. Green, and John Lewis of the CIO.

paragraph: Section::::Against all wars.

paragraph: A committed pacifist, Willcox saw World War II as incomprehensible. She wrote in 1939: "I am paralyzed, clinging to bare reason to find a pattern, any pattern, that I can accept." Her depression was compounded by accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in 1940. For the next few years, she struggled to make any art, painting portraits of friends, and learning silkscreening.

paragraph: Towards the end of World War II, she drew posters for Americans United for World Organisation, promoting the formation of the United Nations, and calling for an end to all wars. She publicly condemned the Korean War, and nuclear weapons.

paragraph: In 1949 Willcox traveled through India. Her sketches record the First All India Conference held in Jaipur after the end of British rule; and a peace conference at Sevagram, Mahatma Gandhi (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi)'s ashram, on the first anniversary of his assassination.

paragraph: Section::::Harassment from McCarthyism.

paragraph: In 1950, Anita and Henry Willcox, with three of their five children, founded a community in Norwalk, Connecticut called Village Creek. Conceived as a haven from racism, the Cold War, and McCarthy era red-baiting, Village Creek became the first inter-racial cooperative on the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Village Creek today comprises some sixty houses; in 2010 it was declared a National Historical Monument.

paragraph: In 1952 Anita and Henry Willcox represented the Quakers at the Asia and Pacific Rim Peace Conference in Peking China. Willcox sketched delegates to the conference. Afterwards she traveled throughout the People's Republic of China. Meeting Anna Louise Strong led to extensive correspondence which laid the basis for Strong's newspaper column in the US, Letter from China.

paragraph: Following this trip, the US State Department confiscated the Willcox's passports. The subsequent court case (a class action that included singer Paul Robeson) led to the 1958 Supreme Court ruling that the State Department cannot withhold a passport because of a citizen's beliefs or associations. (During the 1950s, when Robeson was unable to perform in public venues, he practiced on the piano in the Willcox house in West Greenwich.)

paragraph: Willcox became a target for McCarthy era censorship. At aged 70, she was called to testify before Eastland Committee (both for attending the China conference, and as the person who funded the legal defence of Harvey Matusow, an FBI informer jailed for publicly admitting perjury as a state witness against "communist" trade union officials). Publicity around this meant she was unable to find a publisher for her book about India, and a Norwalk elementary school refused to take donated murals depicting Norwalk Harbor in the 17th century (the school accepted and hung the mural panel in 1977). Henry Willcox, her husband, a professional engineer and president of Willcox Construction Company, was expelled from the company he himself had founded.

paragraph: Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Willcox continued to travel and paint throughout the world. She died in Village Creek in 1984.

paragraph: Ramón Otero Pedrayo

paragraph: Ramón Otero Pedrayo (alternative spelling "Outeiro Pedraio") (Ourense, Galicia, 1888 - Ourense, 1976) was a Galician geographer, writer and intellectual. He was a key member of the Galician cultural and political movement "Xeración Nós".

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Otero Pedrayo taught Geography and History in Burgos and Santander (Spain), before he went back to his natal city of Ourense. In 1918 he becomes a member of the Galicianist organisation "Irmandades da Fala". He was a member of the Spanish parliament during the time of the Spanish Second Republic representing the "Partido Galeguista" (Galicianist Party) and the Republican Nationalist Party of Ourense.

paragraph: He was the first professor of Geography at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Apart from being considered the person who first introduced modern Geography in Galicia, he also was an accomplished writer as he demonstrates in his numerous essays, novels, plays and poems. He was also renowned as a great orator with a charismatic voice . In 1933, he addressed a speech at a rally during the Basque Fatherland Day organized by the Basque Nationalist Party at San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa (picture above).

paragraph: Some of his famous novels are "Os camiños da vida" and "O mesón dos Ermos", where he provides a meticulous description of Galician rural life. In fact, his non-scientific works are often taken as historical sources, since they are quite accurate and rigorous in terms of localization, description and context. It must also be mentioned "Arredor de si", a novel often considered to be a veiled autobiography.

paragraph: Among his vast scientific production the encyclopaedia "Historia de Galiza" (first published in 1962) stands out as a colossal project. Yet, in his many works he depicts with precision the history, geography, folklore and anthropology of Galicia. He is the first geographer to define Galicia as an "Atlantic country", that is, of Atlantic and not Mediterranean culture. And together with archaeologist Florentino López Cuevillas he is one of the first researchers embarking in a systematic scientific study of Galicia's Celtic past.

paragraph: There is a foundation named after him, which preserves and promotes his works .
