paragraph: Aelhaiarn

paragraph: Saint Aelhaiarn or Aelhaearn (Welsh for "Iron Eyebrows";  early 7th century) was a Welsh confessor and saint of the British Church. He was a disciple of Saint Beuno. His feast day was usually observed on 2 November, although it is sometimes recorded as the 1st and is no longer observed by either the Anglican or Catholic church in Wales.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Saint Aelhaiarn is listed among the "Bonedd y Seint" (Genealogies of the Saints). He was the brother of saints Llwchaiarn and Cynhaiarn and son of Hygarfael or Cerfael, son of Cyndrwyn, a prince of the Powysian dynasty descended from Vortigern, king of Britain. The area of Cyndrwyn's control was centred on the Severn valley around Shrewsbury. Aelhaiarn was said to have been a disciple of Saint Beuno, who also a member of the dynasty and thus a cousin. Beuno's activity was sponsored by Cadfan and other members of Gwynedd's Cuneddan dynasty; Aelhaiarn seems to have accompanied him out of Powys to Edeirnion and thence to northeastern Llŷn.

paragraph: Section::::Miracles.

paragraph: The principal miracle associated with Aelhaiarn was actually performed by Beuno, who was said to have raised him from the dead (among six others). The 18th-century version of the story given to John Ray at Llanaelhaearn provides a folk etymology for Aelhaiarn's unusual name. It claimed that Beuno (Byno) was accustomed to disappearing from his cell near Clynnog every night to travel to pray on a flat stone in the middle of the Afon Erch. One night, as Beuno returned, he saw a man hidden in the dark; he then prayed that, if the stranger were on some good errand, he should attain it but, if his intent were ill, that some example be made of him. Immediately upon saying this, he saw wild animals appear from the forest and rend the man limb from limb. Beuno reconsidered when he discovered that it was his own servant who had been spying upon him. The saint set the bones and limbs together except for the bone beneath his brow, which was lost. This, he replaced with an iron bit from his pike spike. (Thomas Pennant, in his "Tour in Wales", called the story "too absurd to relate" and didn't.) Baring-Gould, recounting it, compares it with Thor's restoration of his goats Snarler and Grinder in the "Prose Edda".

paragraph: After Llanaelhaearn had been established on the site of the servant's resurrection, Beuno charged him to oversee it but, "for a punishment", prayed that the bells of Clynnog would be heard throughout the village but not within Llanaelhaearn's church.

paragraph: At the death of Aelhaiarn, his southern countrymen claimed his body; this was disputed by the monks of Clynnog. A fight was said to have broken out that continued into the night. At dawn, there were two coffins on two biers and one was taken by each faction. (A similar miracle is credited to Saint Teilo, whose relics were claimed by three separate churches.)

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Saint Aelhaiarn was separately venerated at Guilsfield (,  "Hemlock-field") near Welshpool in Powys and at Llanaelhaearn on the Llŷn peninsula in Gwynedd. (The latter, however, was long known as "Llanhaiarn" through a corruption of his name; the nearby estate known as Elernion ("St Elern's") is thought to have a similar origin.)

paragraph: The church at Guilsfield has been variously credited to Saint Giles (from the parish's name), to All Saints (from Aelhaiarn's nearby feast day), and to Saint Tysilio (from the local fair which was held on 8 November). Most of the present church dates to the 14th & 15th-century expansion of a 12th- or 13th-century core; it was refurbished between 1877 and 1879 and a small clock inset into the middle of its medieval tower. It is now a Grade I listed building. Its garden is also noted as an example of ancient yew trees set in a designed scheme.

paragraph: The church at Llanaelhaearn bears walls from around the 12th century and was last refurbished in 1892. It is listed as Grade II*. During expansion of the churchyard in 1865, workers discovered the Latin-inscribed gravestone of an Aliortus of Elmet, possibly indicating the existence of a religious settlement at the site before the arrival of Beuno and Aelhaearn.

paragraph: Both locations included a holy well. The well at Guilsfield (') was formerly visited by parishioners for a drink on Trinity Sunday. St Aelhaiarn's Well (') at Llanaelhaearn was a major station on the northern pilgrimage route to Bardsey Island and much frequented for the miraculous cures associated with the "laughing" or "troubling of the water", an irregular appearance of upwelling bubbles throughout the well. By the 19th century, the Llanaelhaearn well was surrounded with an oblong basin and stone benches; devotees would rest on them while waiting for the water to "laugh". A diphtheria outbreak in 1900, however, caused the local council to, first, enclose and roof the well and, then, to lock it away from the public. The well's ownership is disputed and it remains inaccessible; the present enclosure dates from 1975.

paragraph: During the Middle Ages, the inland reach of Meirionydd also bore a parish named Llanaelhaiarn near modern Gwyddelwern in Denbighshire. It was united with Gwyddelwern in 1550 and the site of its chapel is now only marked with a yew tree. In the early 20th century, its local village was still named Aelhaiarn but it is now known as Pandy'r Capel ("Chapel Fulling Mill").

paragraph: Innoss'B

paragraph: Innocent Didace Balume ( born May 5, 1997), known by his stage name Innoss’B, is a Congolese singer-songwriter, rapper, percussionist, and dancer from Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition to adapting modern styles like Afrobeats and hip-hop, Innoss'B is a skilled djembe player. He has been called "by far the most widely recognized artist from Goma," Innoss'B was born to a musical family - his mother was a church singer, his father was a pop music dancer and he first performed with his brothers in the group Maisha Soul. They trained at Yolé!Africa, a youth cultural center in Goma founded in 2000 by internationally acclaimed filmmaker and activist Petna Ndaliko Katondolo. At the age of 12, he won the ‘Vodacom Super Star in DR Congo’ with more than 1.3 million votes throughout the country. He was also the first winner of the Vodacom Superstars, which brought him to the attention of actor and director Ben Affleck. In 2013 he was signed to a management contract with Interglobe Music. He has recorded and toured with Akon.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Innocent Didace Balume was born on 5 May 1997 in Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo into a large family. He spent his childhood living in Birere, one of the poorest, poverty stricken districts of Goma mastering his icon, the legendary King of Pop Michael Jackson. He is the youngest of six children and gained his taste for music after his father, a former pop dancer, his mother a cantor at the local church and his three eldest siblings who are musicians. With the influence of his mother, Innoss’B also joined the choir and sang hymns to the glory of God. Innoss’B is not only a good singer and performer, but also an excellent player of djembe (African Percussion), which is also his favorite instrument.

paragraph: Section::::Solo career.

paragraph: At the mere age of 6, Innoss’B joined Maisha Soul formerly known as Dji-life, a group formed by his brothers. At the age of 7, Innoss’B and Maisha Soul went on to win the "Revelation 2007 Award" during their Goma Tourism Fair for the single Another Way. This was the first time Innoss’B displayed his talent as a single publicity During these years, Innoss’B lived his life like any other children pursuing extra-curricular activities while maintaining academic brilliance and discovering his comedic talent through school competitions. His captivating smile warmed the hearts of the audience more than his voice and charisma when he took the stage. To escape the misery of war and violence surrounding him. Innoss’B turned to music as a vehicle for comfort.In 2010, Grammy Award Winning Senegalese American Hip hop and R&B Superstar, Akon teamed up with local Telecom company, Vodacom to host the first ever national music competition in the form of reality TV Vodacom Superstar in search for the next super star in the DRC. This show formed is equivalent to "American Idol" in the United States or "Pop star" and the "Search for the new Star" in France.

paragraph: Not doubting the talents of their child, Innoss’B’s parents enroll him at the age of 12 in the contest and this move would soon change their lives. Innoss’B went on to win the finals with more than 1300000 votes via sms throughout the Country. Innoss’B earned a prize package of $25,000 and a single with Akon. Upon receiving the check, Innoss’B decided to donate a portion of his monetary prize to his School by offering hardware and supplies. He also added to the happiness of families in downtown Goma by providing them with better housing. Innoss’B first taste of travel and the big stage came soon after the victory when Akon took him to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa followed by a trip to Zimbabwe where he held a concert with Jamaican Singer, Sean Paul. During the concert, Akon’s presentation of Innoss’B to the world occurred when the Grammy Awards Winning Singer sang a duel with Innoss’B called Mama Africa. From the concert, life began to move fast as Akon invited Innoss’B to Atlanta to record a single which has yet to be released officially. In April 2011 Innoss’B invited to the Global Philanthropy Forum in San Francisco to speak for his Country through music. In June 2011 during the third edition of Ndule Awards at the Grand Hotel of Kinshasa, Innoss’B is awarded the Special Jury trophy, an accolade he holds dear to his heart that rewards Pan African artists.

paragraph: With the success of the Vodacom Super Stars behind him, Innoss’B has not given up while waiting for the release of his single with Akon and has embarked on a promising music career. He has gone on to add Songwriter to his resume and has written a dozen Hip Hop and R&B songs including “"I can be your blue-eyed boy"” released in December 2011, Since its release, it has remained in the top rankings for best Hits in different classes throughout top African radio stations.

paragraph: Philip de la Vache

paragraph: Sir Philip de la Vache KG ( 1348 – 1408) was an English courtier. He was the son of Sir Richard de la Vache, a well-to-do Buckinghamshire landowner who had acquired estates in Chalfont St Giles and Aston Clinton. In 1390 Philip married in Chudleigh, Devon Elizabeth Clifford, daughter of Sir Lewis Clifford, a fellow Knight of the Garter. They had one daughter, Blanche, who went on to marry Richard Grey, 6th Baron Grey de Wilton.

paragraph: He fought in the French wars and was made Knight of the Chamber in 1378. He was keeper of the royal park at Chiltern Langley and was a knight of the shire in the Parliament of 1387. On 15 May 1388 he was appointed captain of the castle of Calais and in 1390 he negotiated a truce with king of France, count of Flanders and the cities of Ghent, Bruges and Ypres. Sir Philip served in Calais until 1393, when he was transferred to Guines. During the Parliament of 1397 he was one of the pledges for the prosecution of Thomas, duke of Gloucester. He was elected Knight of the Garter in 1399, the last in the reign of Richard II.

paragraph: He is generally supposed to have been the Vache referred to in Chaucer's poem "Truth" which says " Therfore, thou Vache, leve thine olde wrechednesse; Unto the world leve now to be thral.". It supposedly refers to a period between 1386 and 1389 when Vache was out of favour at court and had temporarily lost his positions there. His father-in-law, Sir Lewis Clifford, was a close friend of Chaucer's and Chaucer knew Sir Philip well. A country gentleman with a reputation for lavish hospitality, he may also have been the model for the Franklin in the General Prologue to ""The Canterbury Tales"". However, the reference to Vache in Chaucer's poem may on good grounds also be a pun on his own name. The phrase Vache, leve! in the first line of the Envoy corresponds to medieval French Vache, reïs!, 'cow, leave!'. The French phase reïs, Vache!, (REISVACHE), when reversed, becomes CHAVSIER, the French form of the poet's name (this is a so-called palindrome). In the First Book of Kings in the Old Testament, the cows on their way to Beth Shemesh are likened to holy men, or monks on their way to the Heavenly Jerusalem. Chaucer may have regarded this interpretation of his name as a summons to give up his sinful life and to join the monks of Westminster Abbey.

paragraph: Floyd Davis

paragraph: Floyd Eldon Davis (March 5, 1909, in Oakford, Illinois – May 31, 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana) was the co-winner of the 1941 Indianapolis 500.

paragraph: Floyd Davis drove the first 72 laps of the 1941 race before being replaced by Mauri Rose, who completed the race in the lead.

paragraph: He is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis (Section 53 Lot 320).

paragraph: In the 1941 Indianapolis 500, Floyd Davis had been driving the Noc-Out Hose Clamp car for sixty laps, moving from 17th to 12th place when teammate Mauri Rose, the pole sitter, began experiencing problems with his car, the Elgin Piston Pin. The films show that he wasn't too happy when at lap 72, team owner Lou Moore pulled Davis from his car and replaced him with Rose. “I was ready to go into the lead when they called me in,” he later joked.

paragraph: That is exactly though what Rose did do, winning the first of his three 500 championships, and earning Davis an asterisk in the history books as a co-winner, despite the fact that he never led a single lap in any of his races. And though Davis received a 50-50 split of the prize money, he never drove in another 500, some say because of his disgust in having been relieved. His serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II might also have had something to do with his leaving racing.

paragraph: He had driven in three previous 500s, coming in 15th in 1937, 27th in 1939, and 20th in 1940.

paragraph: Elisabeth Hevelius

paragraph: Elisabeth Catherina Koopmann-Hevelius (in Polish also called "Elżbieta Heweliusz"; January 17, 1647–December 22, 1693) is considered one of the first female astronomers. She was the second wife of fellow astronomer Johannes Hevelius.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Elisabeth Koopmann (or Kaufmann, ) was, like Hevelius and his first wife, a member of a rich merchant family in the city of Danzig (Gdańsk) located in Pomeranian Voivodeship of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and a member of the trade organisation called Hansa. Elisabetha Koopman's parents were Nicholas Koopman (the Dutch word for "Merchant") (1601-1672) who was a prosperous merchant and Joanna Mennings (or Menninx) (1602-1679). Nicholas and Joanna were married in Amsterdam in 1633. They moved from Amsterdam to Hamburg then, in 1636, they moved to Danzig. It was in this city, largely German speaking but a part of Poland at the time, that their daughter Elisabetha was born.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: It was a fascination for astronomy which led Elisabetha, when still only a child, to approach Johannes Hevelius, an astronomer of international repute who had a complex of three houses in Danzig which contained the best observatory in the world. The marriage of the sixteen-year-old to fifty-two-year-old Hevelius in 1663 allowed her also to pursue her own interest in astronomy by helping him manage his observatory. They had a son, who died soon, and three daughters who survived. The eldest of the three daughters was named Catherina Elisabetha (after her mother) and baptized in St Catherine's Church, Danzig, on 14 February 1666. From the writings of Johann III Bernoulli we know that Elisabetha contracted smallpox and was permanently scarred by it. Following his death in 1687, she completed and published "Prodromus astronomiae" (1690), their jointly compiled catalogue of 1,564 stars and their positions.

paragraph: Section::::Latin.

paragraph: Scholars know that she wrote in Latin since she had written letters to other scientists in Latin. They wonder why she would have had to learn Latin and why it would have been a priority for her at the time.

paragraph: Section::::Prodromus Astronomiae.

paragraph: Published after the death of Johannes, and with support from King Sobieski, the Prodromus Astronomiae consisted of three separate parts: a preface (labeled "Prodromus"), a star catalog (named "Catalogus Stellarum"), and an atlas of constellations (named "Firmamentum Sobiescianum, sive Uranographia")."Prodromus" outlines the methodology and technology used in creating the star catalogue. It provides examples of the use of the sextant and quadrant by Johannes, in tandem with known positions of the sun, in calculating each stars' longitude and latitude. The written draft of the "Catalogus Stellarum" consists of 183 leaves, 145, alphabetized according to constellation, containing star positions. Each star had specific information recorded in columns: the reference number and magnitude found by astronomer Tycho Brahe, Johannes' own magnitude calculation, the star's longitude and latitude by both ecliptic coordinates measured by angular distances and meridian altitudes found using Johannes' quadrant, and the star's equatorial coordinates calculated using spherical trigonometry. The printed version was similar to the written draft, except the two columns describing a star's ecliptic coordinates were combined, and only the single best value for the star's latitude and longitude was given. Also, the printed version held more than 600 new stars and 12 new constellations not documented in the written draft, bringing its total to 1564. Although the observations of the catalog used nothing more than the astronomer's naked eye, the measurements were so precise as to be used in the making of celestial globes into the early 18th Century."Firmamentum Sobiescianum", while technically part of the Prodromus Astronomiae as a well, was likely published separately and in tighter circulation. Housing its own cover page and page-numbering system, the atlas consisted of two hemispheres and 54 double-page plates of 73 constellations. Both the northern and southern hemispheres were centered on an ecliptic pole, and most star locations were all based off Johannes' own observations. Those that were not, the southern polar stars, were based on a catalog and map published in 1679 by Edmond Halley.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Elisabetha Hevelius died in December 1693, at the age of 46, and was buried in the same tomb as her husband. After her death, the mathematician François Arago wrote of her character:

paragraph: "A complimentary remark was always made about Madam Hevelius, who was the first woman, to my knowledge, who was not frightened to face the fatigue of making astronomical observations and calculations."

paragraph: Section::::In Culture.

paragraph: Elisabeth's life was recently dramatized in the novel "The Star Huntress" (2006).

paragraph: Ron Androla

paragraph: Ron Androla (born August 7, 1954) is an American poet and the author of more than forty books of poetry. He has been published extensively in the American small press scene.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Androla was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania to a family of mixed Syrian and Italian ancestry. In the early 1970s, Androla attended Point Park College and later Franconia College, where he studied under poet Robert Grenier and came "under the influence" of Language poets whom he emulated at the time. However, he regards himself as part of a tradition of underground American poetry that largely rejects academic context. He considers his entry into the labor force as the true inception of his poetic vocation. For over thirty years, he worked in factories as a pressure press operator. The faces and personas of coworkers often feature in his poetry, which sketches the minutiae of working-class existence in the United States in a confessional style. Before retiring, Androla also worked as a directory assistance operator for a major telecommunications company.

paragraph: His writing credits continue to accumulate, spanning over half a century of publishing.

paragraph: He currently resides in Erie, Pennsylvania with his wife, Ann, who is also a writer.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: He cites the work of the Black Mountain poets as an early source of inspiration, and his work continues to show a strong influence of the Projective Verse style. His work also demonstrates the considerable influence of Charles Bukowski, especially in its disaffection and in its use of the short line, paratactical structures, colloquial enjambments and stream of consciousness technique. Like Jack Kerouac and other Beat poets, Androla prefers spontaneity and directness of experience. His poetry often explores an oneiric mental landscape which underlies everyday experience, with recurrent themes of alienation and ecstasy; its tone is most often curious and subtly bemused. He also writes vivid, imaginative short stories & flash fiction, featured in two of his recently published books.

paragraph: Vladislav Hercegović

paragraph: Vladislav Hercegović (1426 or 1427 – 1489) was the "Duke of Saint Sava", succeeding his father Stjepan Vukčić in 1466. The Kosača noble family held lands in the region of Herzegovina. Vladislav received his father's land and the title of "herzog". During his father's reign he is known to have interfered with his affairs. After 1453 he was frequently in the service of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Venice and the Hungarian-Croatian king Matthias Corvinus. Corvinus granted him the forts of Velika Kalnik and Mali Kalnik near Križevci.

paragraph: As an Ottoman vassal (after 1469) he took part in the capture of the town of Počitelj on the river Neretva in 1472 and in battles against the Vlatković's of that region. He succeeded in escaping Ottoman rule until 1480 when he was defeated and retreated to Herceg Novi. When Herceg Novi was captured by the Ottomans in the year 1483, Vladislav retreated to the island of Rab under Venetian rule where he would die.

paragraph: He married Anna Kantakouzene, one of the five known daughters of George Palaiologos Kantakouzenos, in 1453 or 1454. A surviving letter from King Alfonso of Naples and Aragon to Vladislav's father Stjepan dated 5 April 1455 congratulates the latter that two of his sons are married: one to the niece of the Despot of Serbia (who would be Anna Kantakouzene), and the other to the sister of the Count of Cilly. At some time after this Vladislav sent Anna with his son Balša and niece Mara to live in the Republic of Ragusa (modern Dubrovnik).

paragraph: His brother was Stjepan Hercegović, who converted to Islam in 1470, became known as Hersekzade Ahmed Pasha, and became a five-time grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire.

paragraph: His son, Balša, was the titular "Duke of St. Sava" (dux sancti Save).

paragraph: Samuel Stritch

paragraph: Samuel Alphonsius Stritch (August 17, 1887 – May 27, 1958) was an American Cardinal prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago from 1940 to 1958 and as pro-prefect of the Sacred Congregation for Propagation of the Faith from March 1958 until his death two months later. He was elevated to the cardinalate by Pope Pius XII in 1946.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Samuel Stritch was born in Nashville, Tennessee, to Garret (1841–1896) and Katherine (née O'Malley) Stritch. His mother immigrated to the United States from Ireland with her parents at a young age, and settled in Louisville, Kentucky, where the family ran a boarding house. His father came to Louisville from Dublin in 1879, boarded with the O'Malleys, and married Katherine in 1880. Garret later worked as the manager of Sycamore Mills, a subsidiary of DuPont, in Nashville. The second youngest of eight children, Samuel had two brothers and five sisters and they attended the Church of the Assumption.

paragraph: Considered something of a child prodigy, he finished grammar school at age 10 and high school at 14. In 1901, he entered St. Gregory's Preparatory Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1903. Bishop Thomas Sebastian Byrne then sent Stritch to study at the Pontifical Urbanian Athenaeum "De Propaganda Fide" in Rome, where he resided at the Pontifical North American College. He later earned his doctorates in philosophy and in theology. While in Rome, he also befriended Eugenio Pacelli, who later became Pope Pius XII.

paragraph: Section::::Priesthood.

paragraph: Stritch was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Pietro Respighi on May 21, 1910, at the Lateran Basilica. At age 22, he was below the age requirement for ordination but was granted a dispensation by Pope Pius X, who said, "[Stritch] is young in years but old in intelligence. Let him be ordained."

paragraph: Upon returning to the United States, he did pastoral work in the Diocese of Nashville. He served as pastor of St. Patrick's Church in Memphis from 1911 to 1913, whence he became private secretary to Bishop Byrne. Stritch was named diocesan chancellor in March 1917, and a Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on May 10, 1921.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Bishop of Toledo.

paragraph: On August 10, 1921, Stritch was appointed the second Bishop of Toledo, Ohio, by Pope Benedict XV. He received his episcopal consecration on the following November 30 from Archbishop Henry K. Moeller, with Bishops John Baptist Morris and Thomas Edmund Molloy serving as co-consecrators. At age 34, he was the youngest bishop in the United States at the time.

paragraph: During his tenure in Toledo, Stritch established Mary Manse College in 1922 and incorporated the diocesan Catholic Charities in 1923. He also oversaw the beginning of the construction of Holy Rosary Cathedral, whose cornerstone was laid by János Cardinal Csernoch in 1926.

paragraph: While in Toledo Stritch presided at the confirmation of Danny Thomas. Stritch would mentor Thomas throughout his life and urge him to locate St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Archbishop of Milwaukee.

paragraph: Following the death of Sebastian Gebhard Messmer, Stritch was named the fifth archbishop of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 26, 1930. He suffered from periods of depression early in his tenure, but joined nationwide feelings of optimism with the 1932 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Stritch was active in providing support to the victims of the Great Depression. It was because of the Depression that he refused to restore either the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, which was heavily damaged by a fire in 1935, or St. Francis Seminary.

paragraph: Stritch was an advocate for Catholic Action and the Catholic Youth Organization. An opponent of the controversial Rev. Charles Coughlin, he once wrote a letter to a Milwaukee rabbi in which, making an implicit reference to Coughlin, the archbishop rebuked those who "gain and hold a popular audience, degrade themselves and abuse the trust reposed in them by misquoting, half-quoting, and actually insinuating half-truths." In November 1939, he was elected chairman of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, the predecessor of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He also served as vice-chancellor of the Extension Society.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Archbishop of Chicago.

paragraph: Despite Stritch's protests, Pope Pius XII appointed him the fourth archbishop of Chicago, Illinois, on December 27, 1939. Succeeding the late Cardinal George Mundelein, Stritch was formally installed on January 3, 1940. He was the personal choice of Apostolic Delegate Amleto Giovanni Cicognani for the post, although President Roosevelt was reputed to have wanted Bishop Bernard James Sheil instead.

paragraph: Pius XII created him Cardinal-Priest of "Sant'Agnese fuori le mura" in the consistory of February 18, 1946. As archbishop, Stritch oversaw the establishment of the first American chapter of the organization Opus Dei, the launching of the Christian Family Movement, and an outreach to the Puerto Rican community.

paragraph: On July 21, 1952, he delivered the invocation at the opening session of the 1952 Democratic National Convention, saying "Today we face a crisis as grave as that of Valley Forge." He asked for Divine protection against "the aggression of those within and without of Godless enslaving political systems and of those who wittingly or unwittingly seek to take away our freedoms by their advocacy of materialism and Godless humanism."

paragraph: In July 1954, he issued a pastoral letter exhorting Illinois Catholics to abstain from the assembly of the World Council of Churches at Evanston, writing, "The Catholic Church does not...enter into any organization in which the delegates of many sects sit down in council or conference as equals...She does not allow her children to engage in any activity...based on the false assumption that Roman Catholics, too, are still searching for the truth of Christ," to the dismay of several Protestant and ecumenical figures. However, earlier in 1943, Stritch attended a peace program held by Protestant, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Jewish leaders.

paragraph: Section::::Episcopal career.:Pro-Prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of Faith.

paragraph: On March 1, 1958, he was appointed pro-prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of Faith, thus becoming the first American to head a dicastery of the Roman Curia. As pro-prefect, Stritch directed the Church's missionary efforts. In May that same year, a blood clot required the Cardinal's right arm to be amputated above the elbow. Following the operation, he suffered a stroke on May 19, and died eight days later, at age 70.

paragraph: After lying in state at the North American College and the Cathedral of the Holy Name in Chicago, he was interred in the Bishops' Mausoleum at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, on June 3.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Entertainer Elaine Stritch was his niece.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Hasan al-Basri

paragraph: Abū Saʿīd b. Abi ’l-Ḥasan Yasār al-Baṣrī, often referred to as Ḥasan of Basra (Arabic: حسن البصري, "Ḥasan al-Baṣrī"; 642 - 15 October 728) for short, or reverentially as Imam Ḥasan al-Baṣrī in Sunni Islam, was an early Muslim preacher, ascetic, theologian, exegete, scholar, judge, and mystic. Born in Medina in 642, Hasan belonged to the third generation of Muslims, all of whom would subsequently be referred to as the "tābiʿūn" in Sunni Islamic piety. In fact, Hasan rose to become one of "the most celebrated" of the "tābiʿūn", enjoying an "acclaimed scholarly career and an even more remarkable posthumous legacy in Islamic scholarship."

paragraph: Hasan, revered for his austerity and support for "renunciation" ("zuhd"), preached against worldliness and materialism during the early days of the Umayyad Caliphate, with his passionate sermons casting a "deep impression on his contemporaries." His close relationships with several of the most prominent companions of the prophet Muhammad only strengthened his standing as a teacher and scholar of the Islamic sciences. The particular disciplines in which he is said to have excelled included exegesis ("tafsīr") of the Quran, whence his "name is invariably encountered in" classical and medieval commentaries on the scripture, as well as theology and mysticism. Regarding the last of these, it is important to note that Hasan became a tremendously important figure in the development of Sufism with his name occurring "in many mystical "silsilas" (chains of teachers and their disciples) going back to Muḥammad" in the writings of Sunni mystics from the ninth-century onwards. In the words of one scholar, Hasan stands as the "great patriarch" of early Sufism.

paragraph: As scholars have noted, very few of Hasan's original writings survive, with his proverbs and maxims on various subjects having been transmitted primarily through oral tradition by his numerous disciples. While fragments of his famed sermons do survive in the works of later authors, the only complete manuscripts we have bearing his name are apocryphal works such as the "Risālat al-qadar ilā ʿAbd al-Malik" ("Epistle to ʿAbd al-Malik against the Predestinarians"), a pseudopigraphical text from the ninth or early-tenth century, and another letter "of an ascetic and hortatory character" addressed to Umar II (d. 720), which is likewise deemed spurious.

paragraph: Traditionally, Hasan has been commemorated as an outstanding figure by all the Sunni schools of thought, and was frequently designated as one the well respected of the early Islamic community in later writings by such important Sunni thinkers as Abu Talib al-Makki (d. 996), Abu Nu`aym (d. 1038), Ali Hujwiri (d. 1077), Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 1201), and Attar of Nishapur (d. 1221). In his famed "Ḳūt al-ḳulūb", the most important work of Basran Sunni mysticism, Abu Talib al-Makki says of Hasan: "Ḥasan is our Imām in this doctrine which we represent. We walk in his footsteps and we follow his ways and from his lamp we have our light" ("wa ’l-Ḥasanu raḥimahu ’llāhu imāmunā fī hād̲h̲a ’l-ʿilmi ’llad̲h̲ī natakallamu bih , at̲h̲arahu naḳfū wa sabīlahū natbaʿu wa min mis̲h̲kātihi nastaḍīʾ").

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Hasan was born in Medina in 642 CE. His mother, Khayra, is said to have been a maidservant of one of the prophet Muhammad's wives, Umm Salama (d. 683), while his father, Peroz, was a Persian slave who originally hailed from southern Iraq. According to tradition, Hasan grew up in Medina for the vast portion of his early life, prior to his family's move to Basra after the Battle of Siffin. According to some scholars, it is "primarily this association with Medina and his acquaintance there with many of the notable Companions and wives of Muḥammad that elevated [Hasan's] importance as an authoritative figure in Muslim religious and historical genealogy."

paragraph: The various extant biographies relate that Hasan was once nursed by Umm Salama, and that his mother took him after his birth to the caliph Umar (d. 644), who is related to have blessed him with the prayer: "O God! Please do make him wise in the faith and beloved to all people." As he grew, Hasan began to be widely admired for his uncompromising faithfulness to the example of Muhammad. The various early sources on Hasan's life relate that he frequently studied at the feet of Ali (d. 661) during this period, who is said to have taught Hasan while the latter was still "an adolescent." As there is evidence that the metaphysical idea of the "abdal" – forty major saints whose number, according to traditional Sunni mystical belief, is believed to remain constant till the Day of Judgment, with each group of forty being replaced by another upon their earthly death – was prevalent at the time, there are traditions which relate that some of Hasan's contemporaries did indeed identify him as one of the "abdal" of that period.

paragraph: As a young man, Hasan took part in the campaigns of conquest in eastern Iran (ca. 663) and worked as a jewel-merchant, prior to forsaking the business and military life for that of a pure ascetic and scholar. It was during this latter period that he openly began to criticize the policies of the governors in Iraq, even stirring up the authorities to such a degree that he actually had to flee for the safety of his life under the reign of Ḥaj̲j̲āj, whose anger Hasan had roused due to his forthright condemnation of Ḥaj̲j̲āj's founding of Wāsiṭ in 705. One of Hasan's closest companions from this period was his fellow ascetic and mystic Farqad as-Sabakhi (d. 729), an Armenian Christian convert to Islam. Together with figures like as-Sabakhi and Rabia Basri (d. 801), Hasan began to publicly denounce the accumulation of riches by the wealthy; and it is said that he personally despised wealth to such a degree that he even "rejected a suitor for his daughter's hand who was famous for his wealth simply because of his riches." It was during this period, moreover, that Hasan is said to have taken numerous disciples in mysticism, such as Habib al-Ajami (d. ca. 8th century), whose relationship with Hasan is documented in various hagiographies. Hasan died in Basra in 728, being eighty-six years old. According to a tradition quoted by the medieval traditionist Qushayri (d. 1074), "on the night of al-Hasan al-Basri’s death ... [a local man] saw in a dream that the Gates of Heaven were opened and a crier announced: 'Verily, al-Hasan al-Basri is coming to God Most High, Who is pleased with him.'"

paragraph: Section::::Views.

paragraph: As one scholar has explained, the essence of Hasan's message was "otherworldliness, abstinence, poverty, and reverential fear of God, although he also spoke of the knowledge and love of God, which he contrasted with love and knowledge of the world."

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Mysticism.

paragraph: Although none of Hasan's own complete writings on mysticism survive, it is recognized that he "instructed several generations of students in both the religious sciences and what was soon to become known as Sufism." As such, he has been referred to as both "the great patriarch" of Sufism and "the patriarch of Muslim mysticism" by Western scholars. Indeed, it may very well be that Hasan never actually wrote any complete works on the subject, as none of his works in other disciplines survive either; rather, what is far more probable, as scholars have noted, is that he passed down his teachings orally. From the fragments of his sermons available to us in later Islamic works, it is clear that one of the primary aspects of Hasan's mysticism was his strong support for asceticism and otherworldliness. This characteristic is highlighted in some of his most famous epigrams, such as: "Exist in this world as if you had never set foot here, and in the next world as if you had never left it." Another of his most ubiquitous sayings is: "He that knoweth God loveth Him, and he that knoweth the world abstaineth from it," which, according to one scholar, represents the "very quintessence of Sufism" in Basra at the time. In another of his famous maxims, Hasan stated: "The [visionary] onlooker thinketh that they are sick, but no sickness hath smitten that folk. Or, if thou wilt, they are smitten: overwhelmingly smitten by remembrance of the Hereafter," which, according to one scholar, "mentions the possibility of seeing clearly the next life whilst still in this and describes the lasting imprint of this foretaste." As scholars have noted, Hasan spoke of "such visionaries objectively" despite it being clear that he knew himself to be one of them. In the words of one scholar, Hasan's famous mystical extortions "still echo in Persian, Turkish, and Pashto mystical verses" many centuries later.

paragraph: Hasan has been described as "an outstanding intermediary figure" in Sufi history, for although "he grew up in the apostolic age [the age of the "ṣaḥābah"]," the nature of the mystical body in early Islam had changed "by the time of his own death at the age of 86," by which point "the mystics of Islam had become a distinct class." According to traditional Sunni mystical works, Hasan learnt a great deal of his inward knowledge from Ali, which is why "many of the Sufi orders trace their spiritual descent back to 'Ali, and thus to the Prophet" through Hasan.

paragraph: Section::::Views.:Prayer-beads.

paragraph: Hasan is said to have advocated the use of prayer beads (Arabic: "misbaḥah"; Persian and Urdu: "tasbīḥ") during the remembrance of God. It is related by al-Suyuti (d. 1505) that Hasan said, with regard to the use of prayer beads, "Something we have used at the beginning of the road we are not desirous to leave at the end. I love to remember God with my heart, my hand, and my tongue." On this, al-Suyuti commented: "And how should it be otherwise, when the dhikr-beads remind one of God Most High, and a person seldom sees dhikr-beads except he remembers God, which is among the greatest of its benefits." As a result of the example of early teachers like Hasan, the use of prayer beads is very common in mainstream Sunni and Shia Islam; the practice is, however, often opposed by some proponents of Salafism and Wahhabism for being a heretical innovation in the religion.

paragraph: Section::::Hagiographic traditions.

paragraph: Islamic hagiography contains numerous widespread traditions and anecdotes relating to Hasan. One of the most famous of these is the story of his conversion, which "relates that the great ascetic began his adult life as a successful jewel-merchant." The hagiographic scholar John Renard summarizes the narrative thus: "Hasan once visited the Byzantine Emperor's court, and the vizier invited him to travel with him into the desert. There Hasan saw a lavish tent, to which came in succession a large army, four hundred scholars, elders, and four hundred beautiful servant maids. The vizier explained that each year since the Emperor's handsome young son had died of an illness, these throngs of Byzantine subjects had come to pay respects to the dead prince. After all these categories of royal subjects had entered and departed, the Emperor and his chief minister would go into the tent and explain to the deceased boy, in turn, how it grieved them that neither their might, nor learning, nor wisdom, nor wealth and beauty, nor authority had been sufficient to prolong his promising life. The striking scene persuaded Hasan of the need to be ever mindful of his mortality, and he was transformed from a prosperous businessman into a veritable archetype of the world-renouncing ascetic."

paragraph: Section::::Hagiographic traditions.:Hasan's relationship with Muhammad.

paragraph: Some hagiographic sources even indicate that Hasan actually met the prophet Muhammad as an infant. The tradition relates that Muhammad, who "visited Umm Salama's house while the baby was there," "prayed for little Hasan and again bestowed blessings." On another occasion, the child Hasan is said to have drunk some water from Muhammad's water jug. When Muhammad learned that Hasan had drunk the water, he is said to have "declared that the boy would receive knowledge from him in proportion to the water he had imbibed."

paragraph: Section::::Characteristics.

paragraph: According to various historical sources, it is said that Hasan was admired by his contemporaries for his handsome appearance. In this connection, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 1350) relates an older tradition, which states: "A group of women went out on the day of Eid and went about looking at people. They were asked: 'Who is the most handsome person you have seen today?' They replied: 'It is a teacher wearing a black turban.' They meant al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī." As for his personality, it is related that Hasan was a frequent weeper, being known by those around him "for the abundance of tears he shed out of compunction for his sins." One particular tradition relates that he wept so much praying on his rooftop one day that his abundant tears began to run off "through the downspouts upon a passerby, who inquired whether the water was clean." Hasan immediately called out to the man below, telling him "it was not, for these were sinner's tears." As such, "he advised the passerby to wash himself forthwith." In a similar vein, Qushayri related of Hasan: "One would never see al-Hasan al-Basri without thinking that he had just been afflicted with a terrible tragedy." With regard to these traditions, one scholar noted that it is evident that Hasan "was deeply steeped in the sadness and fear so typical of ascetics of all religions."

paragraph: Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad

paragraph: Umm Kulthum () (603–630) is the third daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad by his first wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid.

paragraph: Section::::Conversion to Islam.

paragraph: She was born in Mecca, probably the fifth of their six children. She was legally married before August 610 to Utayba ibn Abi Lahab, but the marriage was never consummated. She was still living with her parents when Muhammad first declared himself a prophet, and Umm Kulthum became a Muslim soon after her mother did.

paragraph: After Muhammad warned Abu Lahab of hellfire in 613, Abu Lahab told Utayba that he would never speak to him again unless he divorced Umm Kulthum, so he did. Her maternal brother, Hind ibn Abi Hala, asked Muhammad, "Why did you separate Umm Kulthum from Utayba?" Muhammad replied, "Allah did not allow me to marry her to a person who is not going to Paradise."

paragraph: Muhammad left Mecca in September 622. Before long Zayd ibn Harithah brought instructions to Umm Kulthum and her sister Fatima to join their father in Medina. Their uncle Al-Abbas put them on a camel; but as they were setting off, Huwayrith ibn Nuqaydh goaded the animal so that it threw them to the ground. Muhammad remembered the assault and, when he conquered Mecca in 630, he sentenced Huwayrith to death. However, Umm Kulthum and Fatima arrived safely in Medina.

paragraph: Section::::Second marriage.

paragraph: After the death of her sister Ruqayya left Uthman a widower, he married Umm Kulthum. The marriage was legally contracted in August/September 624, but they did not live together until December. The marriage was childless.

paragraph: Soon after the Battle of Uhud, Umm Kulthum answered the door to a man who said he owed money to Uthman. Umm Kulthum sent for her husband and learned that the visitor was a cousin from the enemy army who was seeking protection. Uthman was displeased but he went to ask Muhammad about it. While he was out, some Muslims entered the house and asked Umm Kulthum where the fugitive was. She pointed to his hiding-place behind a water-skin, and they pulled him out. They brought him before Muhammad just as Uthman was pleading for the safe-conduct. Muhammad granted Uthman the right of protection for three days, so Uthman quickly gave his cousin a camel to assist his escape. .

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Umm Kulthum died in November/December 630. Her father tearfully conducted her funeral prayers; then Ali, Usama ibn Zayd and Abu Talha laid her body to rest.

paragraph: Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani

paragraph: Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani (; born 18 April 1988) is a member of the Royal House of Thani. He is the brother of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the son of the former Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, with his second wife Sheikha Moza bint Nasser.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Mohammed holds a bachelor's degree from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar and a Master's in public administration from Harvard Kennedy University's School of Government.

paragraph: Mohammed is a former captain of the Qatar equestrian team.

paragraph: Section::::Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.

paragraph: Mohammed was chairman of the committee that presented Qatar's winning bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar's bid has been marred by allegations of bribery, including that several African officials were reportedly paid $1.5 million each by Qatar. Additionally, in March 2014 it was discovered that disgraced former CONCACAF president Jack Warner and his family were paid almost $2 million from a firm linked to Qatar's successful campaign. There have subsequently been calls to strip Qatar of the right to host the tournament.

paragraph: Mohammed is the managing director of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, which is responsible for developing the infrastructure in Qatar for the World Cup. Qatar has allegedly engaged in "modern-day slavery, as defined by the International Labour Organisation, during a building binge paving the way for 2022." According to a September 2013 "Guardian" investigation, evidence was found "to suggest that thousands of Nepalese, who make up the single largest group of laborers in Qatar, face exploitation and abuses that amount to Nepalese workers in Qatar have been dying at a rate of one per day." According to the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), Qatar's construction work for the World Cup could ultimately cost the lives of 4,000 migrant workers.

paragraph: Section::::Investments.

paragraph: In 2008, Mohammed acquired a 5.1% stake of Kaupthing Bank in Iceland for $280 million. Mohamed's investment was later revealed to be part of a scheme to defraud investors and manipulate the bank's valuation for which four members of the bank's leadership, including its CEO and chairman, were sentenced to 5.5 years in prison.

paragraph: Thani has been leading Qatari government efforts to acquire the conservative media outlet "Newsmax".

paragraph: Section::::Lawsuit.

paragraph: In May 2018, Mohammed was named a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy. Broidy alleges that Mohammed and an associate, Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, oversaw Qatar's cyber warfare campaign targeting him and his company.
