paragraph: Huracán Ramírez

paragraph: Huracán Ramírez (Spanish for "Hurricane Ramirez") was the ring name of Mexican "luchador enmascarado", or masked professional wrestler Daniel García Arteaga (April 9, 1926 – October 31, 2006). García was neither the first, nor the last, wrestler to work under the name "Huracán Ramírez". He was given the name in the mid-1950s, when the wrestler Eduardo Bonada who originally played Huracan in the 1952 film Huracán Ramírez decided to give up the role in the ring because he no longer wanted to obscure his face with the mask. Thus Garcia became the 2nd wrestler to wrestle in the ring under the Huracan identity.

paragraph: During his career, his true identity was a closely guarded secret except to the closest family and friends, more closely guarded that any other luchador of that period. Following his retirement the "Huracán Ramírez" name and mask has been used by others, primarily because García did not own the rights to the name and the mask.

paragraph: García, as Huracán Ramírez, was considered one of the most talented luchadors of his time and one of the most iconic luchadors of all time alongside wrestlers such as Santo, Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras. He invented and popularized a move called the/la "Huracánrana", a move that is now commonly used by smaller, high flying professional wrestlers all over the world. During his career he worked as "Huracán Ramírez" in at least five of the eight movies in the Huracán Ramírez movie series, starting with the second one in 1962. He also played the part of Santo in a biographical movie produced by Santo's son El Hijo del Santo.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Daniel García Arteaga was born on April 9, 1926 in Mexico City's "El barrio bravo de Tepito" district to Juan García and Encarnación Arteaga de García. Daniel was the fifth of six sons all together, Arturo, Rodolfo, Guillermo, Juan, Daniel and Miguel. His mother's family had a long history in Amateur wrestling and a large number of people from Tepito became well known boxers or martial artists. Three of his older brothers became professional wrestlers, Arturo was known under the ring name "La Panter Roja" ("The Red Panther") and later "El Catedrático", Rodolfo wrestled as "Rudy García" and Guillermo worked under the name "El Demonio Rojo" ("The Red Demon"). Originally Daniel García tried to become a full-time boxer, but due to his small stature he was never successful.

paragraph: García met his wife-to-be Eulalia Fernández during a tour of Bolivia in 1969, and she moved with García to Mexico City after their marriage where she would work at the Bolivian Embassy in Mexico City for many years. Together they had 2 daughters, Sandra and Karla García Fernández. The couple's youngest daughter Karla is married to professional wrestler Axxel, the grandson of El Santo (who was one of García's closest friends).

paragraph: García's family finally allowed him to become a professional wrestler after having trained for it for years, letting him follow in the footsteps of his older brothers. He started out as the "enmascarado" (masked) character "El Buitre Blanco" (The White Vulture), a "rudo" character (wrestlers who portray the bad guys), the only time in his career that he worked as a "rudo". He would at times also work as the unmasked "Chico García" ("Kid García"), named after his boyish looks.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Huracán Ramírez (1953–1987).

paragraph: He actually had a small, uncredited part in the 1952 movie Huracán Ramírez where he played both "Buitre Blanco" and "Chico García" in some of the wrestling scenes. When the wrestler who played the "Huracán Ramírez" role, Eduardo Bonada, wanted to stop wrestling under a mask, the Rodríguez' decided to quietly audition for a new wrestler to take over the mask in the ring, the audition including a number of wrestlers such as Octavio Gaona, Jr., Memo Rubio, Marco Carta and Daniel García. The older Rodríguez picked García due to his high flying skills, while his son wanted to go with Marco Carta. In the end García was given the character. Garcia did not have to pay the Rodríguez' for use of the character in the ring, but he was also not entitled to any of the proceeds from the movies or any merchandise the Rodríguez family sold. He was formally introduced as "Huracán Ramírez" in 1953, working a match in Mexico City against one of the top "rudos" of the time El Medico Asesino. García's smooth, high flying wrestling style quickly earned him the name "El Príncipe de Seda" ("The Silk Prince") and it including popularizing a move that became known as the "Huracarrana", or Hurricanrana in English speaking countrie, named after the character. His style of wrestling was so unconventional that fans often commented that he did not actually know how to wrestle, just jump around in the ring, which led García to adopt a ground-based wrestling style to prove that he COULD wrestle, and that he just chose to work a different style. By the early 1960s, García had become synonymous with the character, making the "wrestling character" so popular that the Rodríguez decided to produce more "Huracán Ramírez" movies, this time with García performing the wrestling scenes. From 1962 to 1973 García appeared in five "Huracán Ramírez" movies. Two movies produced later on focusing on a boxing character called "El Torrito" did feature the "Huracán Ramírez" character in a minor role, but Daniel García has indicated that he did not actually wear the mask for those 2 movies. Due to his wrestling style and the popularity of the film series, Huracán Ramírez became one of the top "tecnicos" in Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL; later known as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre) at the time, regularly working against some of the top "rudos" such as Medico Asesino, Ray Mendoza, El Solitario, El Enfermero, Karloff Lagarde, René Guajardo, Coloso Colosetti, Dorrell Dixon, Murciélago Velázquez and El Santo. Following El Santo's "tecnico" turn in 1963 the two formed a regular tag team inside the ring and became lifelong friends outside the ring.

paragraph: García was one of the first wrestlers ever, and the first Mexican born wrestler, to fight against a boxer, defeating a French boxer known as "El Tigre Francés" in a scripted match. One of his major victories came on June 12, 1964 when he defeated the masked Espanto III ("Terror 3") in a "Luchas de Apuesta", or "bet match" where the loser of the match would be forced to unmask. Following his loss Espanto III removed his mask and revealed that his real name was Luis Miguel Vázquez Bernat. He won the Mexican National Welterweight Championship from Rizado Ruiz on April 3, 1965. A couple of months later he added another championship to his list of accomplishments as he won the NWA World Welterweight Championship from Karloff Lagarde. The title match was just one of many matches the two would have over the years as they developed a long running rivalry. García would win two additional championships, although documentation is unclear on which, but he was promoted as a "Four belt Champion" during one of his many international tours, a claim that was legitimate. He lost the NWA Welterweight title back to Lagarde on September 24, 1965. He lost the Mexican National Welterweight Championship to Alberto Muñoz on February 2, 1966. In 1968 he defeated El Enfermero in a "Luchas de Apuestas" match, forcing El Enfermero to remove his white mask and announce that his real name was Antonio Navarro Camargo. He regained the Mexican National Welterweight Championship in 1969 and would trade it back and forth with Karloff Lagarde as their rivalry stretched into 1972 and beyond. Over the years he participated and won a number of "Luchas de Apuestas" matches, winning the mask of wrestlers Halcón de Oro, Moloch, Halcón Dorado, Scorpio, La Tarántula, Blue Angelo, Cadaver II, La Sombra and Los Hermanos Muerte (I and II). He also won the hair of several unmasked wrestlers, defeating Carnicero Grimaldo, Delfin, Espectro I and El Greco in "Luchas de Apuestas" matches.

paragraph: Over the years García traveled all over the world and wrestled as Huracán Ramírez, including Japan, the United States of America, Europe and a lot of tours of South America including such countries as Guatemala, Panama, Bolivia, Colombia and Ecuador. In some countries such as Ecuador and Bolivia Huracán Ramírez was more popular and more well known than even El Santo. In 1969 he worked a tour of Bolivia free of charge, drawing crowds to a series of shows benefiting the victims of a September 26, 1969 plane crash that killed all 74 passengers and crew, including an entire team from the Bolivian first division soccer club. During the benefit tour García was introduced to his future wife. In 1974 wrestling promoter Francisco Flores broke away from EMLL to form his own company called "Lucha Libre Internacional", later known as the Universal Wrestling Association. Huracán Ramírez was one of the first wrestlers he signed to a contract, using the popularity of the character to establish the company. Over the years Huracán Ramírez regularly teamed with El Santo, as well as with Rayo de Jalisco for trios matches. The trio of Ramírez, Santo and Rayo de Jalisco was wrestling against "Los Misioneros de la Muerte" ("The Missionaries of Death"; El Signo, El Texano Negro Navarro) when Santo had a heart attack during the match. It was only through García's quick actions and medical assistance that El Santo survived the day. The same heart condition would later take El Santo's life, and when he was buried (in his silver mask), David García, wearing the Huracán Ramírez mask, was one of Santo's pall bearers.

paragraph: Section::::Character controversy.

paragraph: While García spent over 30 years wrestling as "Huracán Ramírez" and had become synonymous with the character he did not actually hold the rights to the name, thus was not able to personally pass the character on to a second generation "Huracán Ramírez" in the way Santo had passed his legacy on to his son El Hijo del Santo and Blue Demon passed his name on to adopted son Blue Demon, Jr. The rights to the name was at the time owned by Jose Rodriguez Mas, son of the producer of the original Huracán Ramírez movie. At the time García and Mas were close friends, so close that García initially offered his services for a new photo-montage-style comic book about Huracán Ramírez for free in exchange for an eventual share of the profits. When the comic book became a big success, García approached Rodriguez Mas for a share of the profits, but his request was denied. After a heated argument Rodriguez Mas threatened to take the Huracán Ramírez character away from García. Unhappy with the situation and the threat García actually unmasked during a couple of local shows, something that was virtually unheard of in Lucha Libre, an active competitor unmasking voluntarily. The move did not convince Rodriguez Mas to share the profits with García, in fact he stated that he wanted a younger wrestler to take over the "Huracán Ramírez" character. The threat prompted García to take action the very next night. During a show García walked to the ring, removed the mask and showed the fans in the audience and the photographers at ringside his face and revealing his name. The move ensured that the name "Huracán Ramírez" would be forever linked to Daniel García and was a big part of the reason why subsequent efforts to give someone else the name failed to catch the favor of the fans.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement and death.

paragraph: The decades of in-ring wrestling took their toll on Daniel García; he had several back surgeries after his retirement, he suffered from four herniated discs and a narrowing of the lumbar channel. On October 31, 2006, Daniel García Arteaga died from a heart attack at the age of 80. Following his death, there was an outpouring of sympathy and tributes from wrestlers and fans all over the world.

paragraph: Elaine of Corbenic

paragraph: Elaine of Corbenic (also known as Amite, Heliaebel, Helaine, Perevida or Helizabel; identified as "The Grail Maiden" or "Grail Bearer"), is a character in the Arthurian legend. She is the daughter of King Pelles of Corbenic and the mother of Galahad by Lancelot. She first appears in the Prose "Lancelot" (the Vulgate Cycle), but fully emerges as a character in Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur". Her first significant action is showing the Holy Grail to Sir Lancelot.

paragraph: Section::::In Malory.

paragraph: Elaine's father, King Pelles, knew that Lancelot would have a son with Elaine, and that that child would be Galahad, described as "the most noblest [sic] knight in the world". Moreover, King Pelles claims that Galahad will lead a "foreign country...out of danger" and "achieve...the Holy Grail". The source of King Pelles' knowledge is undisclosed.

paragraph: She is described as "passing fair and young". The sorceress Morgan le Fay is jealous of Elaine's beauty, and magically traps her in a boiling bath. After Sir Lancelot rescues her, Elaine falls in love with him, only to find he is already in love with Queen Guinevere and would not knowingly sleep with another woman. In order to seduce Lancelot, Elaine goes to the sorceress Dame Brusen for help. Dame Brusen gives Lancelot wine and Elaine a ring of Guinevere's in order to trick Lancelot into thinking Elaine is Guinevere. The next morning, Lancelot is most displeased to discover that the woman he slept with was not Guinevere. He draws his sword and threatens to kill Elaine, but she tells him that she is pregnant with Galahad and he agrees not to kill her, but instead kisses her. Lancelot departs, and Elaine remains in her father's castle and gives birth to Galahad.

paragraph: Thereafter, there is a feast at King Arthur's court, and Elaine goes to it. Lancelot ignores her when he sees her, and she is sad because she loves him. She complains of this to Dame Brusen, and Dame Brusen tells her that she will "undertake that this night he [Lancelot] shall lie with [her]". That night, Dame Brusen brings Lancelot to Elaine, pretending that it is Guinevere that summons him. He goes along, and once again sleeps with Elaine. At the same time, however, Guinevere herself actually summons Lancelot, and is enraged to discover that he is not in his bedchamber. She hears him talking in his sleep, and finds him in bed with Elaine. She is furious with him and tells him she never wants to see him again. Lancelot goes mad with grief and, naked, jumps out a window and runs away.

paragraph: Elaine confronts Guinevere as to her treatment of Lancelot. She accuses Guinevere of causing Lancelot’s madness and tells her that she is being unnecessarily cruel. After this, she leaves court. Time passes in the story, and Elaine next appears when she finds Lancelot insane in her garden. She brings him to the Holy Grail, which cures him. When he regains his mental facilities, he decides to live with Elaine, and they live together for several years as man and wife.

paragraph: Section::::Analysis.

paragraph: Elaine of Carbonic (or Corbenek, Corbin, etc.) is often passed over in favor of Elaine of Astolat. Like the more famous Elaine, Elaine of Carbonic is in love with Lancelot. Yet unlike Astolat, she is successful in both bedding and marrying Lancelot. Despite this, she has been overlooked by most literary analysts. One theory for why she has been so ignored is because of the moral ambiguities of her actions. She does not fit into a neat category of female characters; she is neither good nor evil, but something in between. Roger Sherman Loomis's work "The Grail: From Celtic Symbol to Christian Myth" draws a connection between the concept of the feminine "Grail-bearer" and the sovereignty goddess of Ireland, Ériu, who grants the chalice to only the worthy.

paragraph: Section::::In modern stories.

paragraph: Elaine appears in the 1939 novel "The Once and Future King", by T.H. White. Although the basic character does not change, there are several key differences. Time is more definitely specified in this version; for instance, when Elaine finds Lancelot in the garden, Galahad is three years old. Additionally, Elaine and Lancelot live together as husband and wife for ten years and actively raise Galahad while Lancelot bears a pseudonym to hide from the court at Camelot. Another key difference between White and Malory is that in White, Lancelot is cured of his insanity by seeing Elaine, but becomes physically sick and is nursed back to health by Elaine. White also chronicles Elaine's final fate, having her commit suicide when it becomes clear that Lancelot will never truly love her or end his obsession with Guinevere. This creates a parallel with the character of Elaine of Astolat, who is also referenced in the novel.

paragraph: A more contemporary novel is "Elaine of Corbenic" by Tima Z. Newman. Based on Malory's account of the three brief encounters of Launcelot and Elaine in "Le Morte d’Arthur", it chronicles Elaine’s journey through abandonment to the finding of inner strength and deepening wisdom.

paragraph: Elaine also appears as a character in "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley. In this version, she tricks Lancelot with the help of Morgaine into sleeping with her by making him believe she was Gwenhwyfar. Her father finds out and forces Lancelot to marry her to keep her honor. She and Lancelot, in addition to their son Galahad, have two daughters by the names of Gwenhwyfar and Nimue, who later becomes a priestess of Avalon and is used to trick the Merlin into coming with her to the isle to receive punishment for perceived crimes against the Goddess and later drowns herself. Unlike the Elaines in earlier stories, she dies of natural causes later in the book.

paragraph: Stanisław Kazimierczyk

paragraph: Stanisław Kazimierczyk (born Stanisław Sołtys, 27 September 1433 – 3 May 1489) was a Polish Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Canons Regular of the Lateran. He became noted for his ardent devotions to both the Eucharist and to his personal patron Saint Stanisław as well as for his charitable dedication to the ill and poor of Kraków.

paragraph: The canonization cause started under Pope John Paul II on 14 October 1986 and he was titled as a Servant of God. This came after previous attempts in the past to launch the process though the cause started at that time due to the personal intervention of the pope who was a cardinal at the time. That same pope named him as Venerable on 21 December 1992 at the same time he approved the beatification which was celebrated on 18 April 1993. Pope Benedict XVI later canonized the late priest as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church on 17 October 2010 in Saint Peter's Square.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Stanisław Sołtys was born 27 September 1433 in Kraków to Maciej Sołtys and Jadwiga. His parents had long wanted a child and he was born on exactly the same date that the remains of Saint Stanisław were being moved. His parents were members of the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament.

paragraph: He received his education from the Canons Regular of the Lateran at their school not to far from his home which was attached to their convent and to the local parish church of the Corpus Christi that the order administered in. He went on to receive doctorates in theological studies and in his philosophical studies from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. He received a bachelor's degree in 1451.

paragraph: The successful completion of his studies in 1456 saw him enter the Canons Regular of the Lateran and thus became a novice in his novitiate. He took the religious name of "Stanisław Kazimierczyk". His choice was due to the shrine of the popular Saint Stanisław, a former Bishop of Krakow, to whom he had a strong devotion his entire life.

paragraph: He was ordined as a priest in 1456 and was then named as the vice-prior of the order despite being a new priest and not having enough experience. He was also made the novice master in charge of new candidates to the order. He also dedicated himself to the care of the ill and the poor and was noted for the deep devotion of the religious services that he celebrated. He developed a reputation for great spiritual insight as a confessor. It was his allure as a preacher and confessor that saw people seek him out to preach and her their confessions. He preached in strong defense of the doctrine of the Real Presence in the Eucharist against the preachings of the Polish followers of John Wycliffe and Jan Hus. It was due to this that he gained the title "Apostle of the Blessed Sacrament". Saint John Cantius - a colleague of his at the Jagiellonian and a major scientist of the period - was a close friend of his.

paragraph: The priest fasted numerous times and kept vigils on several occasions. He slept little and often slept on the ground more as a penitential act. On one occasion he went to visit the tomb of his patron when he saw the Mother of God with the Infant Jesus in her arms; Saint Stanisław and other saints were around her. He often delivered his sermons in German as well as his native Polish. King John I Albert once attributed an 8 September 1487 battle win against the Ottoman Empire to him.

paragraph: He died in mid-1489 in Kraków and had been known in his life as a living saint. He had fallen quite ill at Lent and towards his death requested anointing. He put his hands on his conferees' heads to bless them and to farewell them and died with his hands upraised to entrust his soul to God.

paragraph: The faithful referred to him often as "Blessed" despite the fact that he had not been beatified but was called this due to his great reputation for personal holiness - in the 1500s this title was recorded as being given. His remains were moved in 1632 after the priest Martin Kłoczyński commissioned a splendid altar in his honor to house the remains; a total of 176 purported miracles were reported to have taken place in the first year since his death.

paragraph: Section::::Sainthood.

paragraph: The Canons Regular of the Lateran made several requests to the pope to seek beatification in 1773 but no cause was ever initiated. The Cardinal Archbishop of Kraków Karol Józef Wojtyła (the future Pope John Paul II) asked the order in 1971 to collect existing documents and evidence on the life of the late priest and set up a historical commission to aid them in this on 15 December 1972.

paragraph: The beatification process launched under Pope John Paul II on 14 October 1986 and the priest was titled as a Servant of God once the Congregation for the Causes of Saints (CCS) issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause. Cardinal Franciszek Macharski inaugurated the diocesan process on 17 December 1987 and later oversaw its successful completion on 22 January 1998 while the CCS validated this process in Rome on 11 November 1988. The postulation later submitted the Positio dossier to the CCS in 1990 for assessment.

paragraph: Historians met and approved the cause's direction on 15 January 1991, deeming no historical obstacles existed, while theologians assented to the cause on 5 June 1992; the CCS followed suit on 1 December 1992. On 21 December 1992 John Paul II both named him as Venerable upon the confirmation of his heroic virtue and approved his longstanding "cultus" which allowed for the pope to preside over the beatification on 18 June 1993 as a solemnization of that "cultus".

paragraph: The process for a miracle required for his sanctification opened on 22 September 1995 and closed on 29 February 1996 while it later received validation from the CCS on 25 October 1996. The medical board approved this on 23 April 2009 as did theologians on 8 July 2009 and the C.C.S. on 29 September 2009. Pope Benedict XVI approved this healing to be a miracle on 19 December 2009 and on 19 February 2010 confirmed the date for canonization; the pope canonized him on 17 October 2010 in Saint Peter's Square.

paragraph: The postulator at the time of the canonization was Emilio Dunoyer.

paragraph: Adam Stafford

paragraph: Adam Stafford (born 24 February 1982) is a musician and filmmaker based in Falkirk, Scotland. He was the lead singer and songwriter with critically acclaimed Scottish band Y'all is Fantasy Island as well as an award-winning short film maker and solo artist. Stafford was born in Sunderland, England in 1982. In the late 1980s his family moved to Falkirk, where he still resides.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: Having released music as Y'all is Fantasy Island since 2005 as a solo project, Stafford added various members to augment his alternative folk sound. After independently releasing four LPs – In Faceless Towns Forever (2006), Rescue Weekend, No Ceremony and Infanticidal Genuflector (all in 2008) – the group announced that they would be splitting up in March 2010.

paragraph: Stafford has released a number of Solo LP's including "Awnings" (2009), "Miniature Porcelain Horse Emporium" (2010) and mini album "Music in the Mirabel" (2010) which is a collection of covers and re-workings with tracks ranging from Daniel Johnston to Austrian Poet Georg Trakl. On these releases Stafford experiments with vocal looping and textural soundscapes. He was quoted as saying "I'd been experimenting with looping and layering vocals before – inspired, primarily, by Steve Reich's vocal arrangements on Music For 18 Musicians and Edinburgh artist Wounded Knee".

paragraph: In August 2011 Stafford issued the album "Build a Harbour Immediately" which was produced by Paul Savage (Mogwai/Delgados) in Chem19 Studios in Hamilton. The LP was released to great acclaim in Scotland and made many end-of-year polls within the online blogging community. The album blended what Stafford had been experimenting with thus far: atmospheric acoustic folk and a capela experimentalism with an unusual sway for melodic, hook-laden pop choruses.

paragraph: 2012 proved to be just as busy a year for artistic output. In April Stafford issued a split 7" single with Phantom Band singer Rick Redbeard entitled "Now We're Dancing/Vanishing Tanks" on Gerry Loves Records and in August he produced (as well as contributing to) an EP cassette with the Falkirk outfit Sweethearts of The Prison Rodeo entitled "Welcome/Vessels Shifted". Stafford's side consisted of four minimal guitar instrumentals written for film.

paragraph: In 2013 Stafford announced that he was releasing his new LP Imaginary Walls Collapse via Song, by Toad Records and Kingfisher Bluez in North America. The LP was released on 20 July 2013 on 12″ vinyl and download. The set included contributions from Stafford regular (engineer and co-producer) Robbie Lesiuk, Siobhan Wilson, Anna Miles (Maple Leaves), Matt Brennan (Zoey Van Goey) and Ben Hillman (Over The Wall) and displayed a more propulsive, electric sound reflective of Stafford's intense live performances. The album featured heavily on many end-of-year lists in the UK music press/Blogs in 2013 (Stafford was listed as number 51 in The List magazine's Hot 100 top cultural practitioners in Scotland). In March 2014, Imaginary Walls Collapse was long-listed for a Scottish Album of The Year Award, hosted by The Scottish Music Industry Association.

paragraph: Stafford also composed and performed original music for Alan Bissett's one-man show 'What The Falkirk' which was commissioned by Falkirk Community Trust as part of their Creative Place Awards grant. The show took a humorous and bitter-sweet look at Falkirk History and life and toured the Greater Falkirk area in June 2015. The shows received positive reviews from the press, with Joyce McMillan in a review for The Scotsman noting that Stafford's music was "Powerful".

paragraph: In March 2016 Edinburgh record label Song, by Toad issued Stafford's 6th solo LP 'Taser Revelations' on CD, white 12" vinyl and Download. The album was recorded in the label's newly acquired warehouse space, The Happiness Hotel in Leith, Edinburgh over four days in July 2014 and two days in October 2014. It was produced and engineered by regular collaborator Robbie Lesiuk, who used the warehouse's natural reverb in the large room and also played a plethora of instruments including Steel Drums, Bass, Organ and Melotron. Other collaborators included Greggor Douglas who improvised synthesizer parts on a vintage Roland Juno and Omnichord and Anna Miles who provided vocal harmonies on three tracks. The album was completed at the end of 2014 but was postponed during the following year due to commitments with family and other projects.

paragraph: The album was released to almost unanimous acclaim from the online and print music press. Clash Magazine commented, "(Stafford is) A songwriter of real depth, rich in understanding, in melodic virtuosity, his work has gradually built up into an imposing, heroic catalogue". Gigsoup wrote in their 4.5/5 review, "Scotland's gifted musician and lyrical genius does well to keep you engaged throughout the entire album. Each song is so distinct, all with the classic Stafford strong loops that demand your attention without overpowering the song itself". While Alan Morrison writing for The National Paper noted, "Yet again, Adam Stafford has created one of the best albums of the year".

paragraph: In 2017 Stafford issued a collection of photography as a dual photobook and album entitled Reverse Drift. The photobook was a selection of mainly landscape and abstract photos that Stafford had been taking since 1999. The musical element was a download of a single 40-minute track improvised in one single take that incorporated a capela ambience, sampled drums and clarinet and synthesizers.

paragraph: In October 2017 Stafford and Lesiuk began work on another musical project that was to become the album `Fire Behind The Curtain'. Released on May 4th 2018 via Song by Toad Records, the largely instrumental, classically-leaning set was met with perhaps the greatest acclaim of Stafford's career. Working with The Pumpkinseeds and Modern Studies cellist and arranger Pete Harvey and a 9-piece choir, the album referenced Stafford's struggles with depression that had plagued him since youth. The record was issued on double-disc 12" gatefold vinyl and received ecstatic reviews from critics: in a 9/10 review, God is in The TV said the LP "may stand as perhaps the most stunning piece of art to have been released so far on Song by Toad”; a 5/5 review The Skinny magazine called the album “a rich and haunting record of intelligence, beauty, depth and darkness – it’s a monumental piece of work”. Elsewhere The Scotsman's 4/5 review noted that "it's worth surrendering to its shifting soundscapes" and BBC 6music's Nemone on Electric Ladyland stated FBTC was “An absolute triumph of an album”.

paragraph: Section::::Film.

paragraph: In 2009 Adam Stafford directed the short film "The Shutdown" written by Scottish author and playwright Alan Bissett and produced by Peter Gerard. The film is the autobiographical story of Bissett's father who was badly injured during an industrial accident at the Petrochemical plant in Falkirk and about the effect that the incident had on his family. The film also explores Bissett's relationship with his hometown and the industry that surrounds it. Stafford shot the film in thirteen hours during one evening for around fifty pounds and used the local Petrochemical Plant's eerie and cinematic landscape for the film's striking visual aesthetic. The film went on to win the "Best Short Documentary" award at the San Francisco International Film Festival, "Best Short Documentary" at Palm Springs Film Festival, along with both the Jury and Audience prizes for Scottish Short Film at the Jim Poole Awards. At the end of 2010 the film also won "Best International Short Documentary" at The Belo Horizonte Film Festival in Brazil and Grand Jury prize for "Best European Short" at Festival Premier Plans in France in January 2011.

paragraph: "The Shutdown" was nominated for a BAFTA Scotland "New Talent Award" in the Factual category for 2010, and was nominated for the "Scottish Short Documentary Award" at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.Stafford also composed the music for "The Shutdown". The 23-minute track entitled "Hammer Eats Hoover" can also be found as the finale on Y'all is Fantasy Island's fourth album "Infanticidal Genuflector" (2008).

paragraph: The film has been selected in competition in excess of 30 International film festivals since 2009 and is the most successful British short film in terms of awards won, festivals attended and initial budget/return in the last decade.

paragraph: In 2010 Stafford directed the promotional video for fellow Scottish act The Twilight Sad's single "Seven Years of Letters" from their second album "Forget the Night Ahead". The video won Video of the Year 2011 at The Scottish New Music Awards

paragraph: In 2013 Adam Stafford completed his second short film, "No Hope For Men Below", a poetic reinterpretation of The Redding Pit Disaster of Falkirk 1923, written in Broad Scots by local poet and author Janet Paisley. The film was mainly shot in a disused mine in Fife and on location in Wanlockhead and Falkirk. In February 2014, the film had its world premier at Glasgow Short Film Festival and was given a Special Mention by the Festival Jury, who stated: ‘No Hope For Men Below uses extraordinary sound design, stark imagery, and poetry to create a unique cinematic experience. This lyrical, expressionist retelling of the Redding Pit disaster of 1923 not only captures the poignancy of the literal event, but explores a multitude of wounds deep within the national psyche.' It went on to be selected for Encounters Short Film Festival in Bristol and Indie Cork Film Festival in Ireland at the end of 2014.

He became the company's first World Heavyweight Champion on October 28, 2000 in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. He started a notable feud in December 2001 when Vega returned and unified with Starr Corporation and attacked both Sewell and Ricky Banderas forming Los Hermanos en Dolor (Brothers in Pain). In December 2004, Sewell turned heel with Vega after he won the Heavyweight title from Ray Gonzalez at Christmas in Puerto Rico. He lost the title to Chicano at Juicio Final on April 2, 2005 in Caguas, Puerto Rico and after that teamed with Jean-Pierre Lafitte part-time. Sewell returned to the IWA in 2008 with former TNA stars Ricky Vega and The Naturals as well as veteran stalwart Big Vito. Sewell tagged with Vega for a time before Vega turned heel and became undisputed IWA heavyweight champion. The two former partners would meet several times after, with Sewell falling short of the title he helped make famous.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Time split between WWC and IWA (2005 - 2006).

paragraph: Sewell wrestled part-time in then-new Puerto Rican federation New Wrestling Stars. During his time in the company, as part of a talent exchange with the WWC, he won the WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship title from "La Amenaza" Bryan in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico on November 5, 2005, which made Sewell the first wrestler to win both the top titles in both IWA and WWC in a calendar year. He lost the Universal title to Bryan on February 12, 2006 and split his time with both companies. Sewell later feuded with Tim Arson over the NWS Heavyweight title until June 3, 2006 when he lost a Title vs. Leave The Company match.

paragraph: When the New Wrestling Stars promotion folded, he made his IWA return on "Impacto Total" on August 19, 2006 in an angle with Miguel Perez Jr. in his office saying the Glamour Boy is ready to return. Later that night in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Sewell, under the masked gimmick Mr. GPR ran in and helped Perez Jr., Ray Gonzalez, Thunder and Lightning clear of the ring of Savio Vega's La Compania before Sewell unmasked himself. Sewell won the Heavyweight title in a three-way match from Gonzalez and Lightning at IWA Christmas in Puerto Rico on December 9, 2006 for a record ninth time. He has been making part-time appearances for WWC since 2008.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2008).

paragraph: Sewell began working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling to help develop and train upcoming wrestlers while (at the time) also appearing as a referee on "Impact!". He first made a mark in TNA by defending himself after Sheik Abdul Bashir took exception to being defeated after a restart in a match against Consequences Creed. Sewell quickly clotheslined Bashir over the top rope to the floor and had to be calmed down by referee Earl Hebner. Since the altercation, he had a number of brawls with wrestlers who shoved him while he was working as a referee.

paragraph: On the November 13 episode of "Impact!" during a X Division Championship match between Eric Young and champion Sheik Abdul Bashir, Sewell stopped a three-count in noticing an illegal action on the part of Bashir, then asking the audience if Bashir had done so. Bashir then shoved Sewell to the mat, causing him to remove his referee shirt and begin attacking Bashir. As a result, Young hit a Death Valley Driver on Bashir and won the match, becoming the new X Division Champion. However, the decision was reversed one week later by Jim Cornette due to Sewell's interference. A similar incident occurred at Final Resolution, where Bashir shoved Sewell and he retaliated by kicking Bashir's feet off the top rope, thus causing him to be pinned by Young. Bashir then attacked Sewell and busted him open in the process.

paragraph: On January 8, 2009, Sewell was (kayfabe) fired as an official after another confrontation with Bashir. However, as part of the confrontation, Cornette announced that Sewell would be hired as a wrestler and face Bashir at TNA's pay-per-view event Genesis, which Sewell won. Sewell apparently was allowed to officiate matches again, as on the "Impact!" following Genesis, he officiated Hernandez's disqualification loss against Sting. After having a number of confrontations with Booker T, Cornette announced that at Against All Odds, Booker would defend his Legends Championship against Sewell. At the pay-per-view, Sewell was defeated in his first and only championship match in TNA. On the March 26 episode of "Impact!", Sewell took part in a Captain's Gauntlet match, but was quickly eliminated by Kurt Angle. On May 22, 2009, it was confirmed that Sewell had been released from the company.

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Return to WWC.

paragraph: After being released from TNA, Sewell worked the June 25 tapings of Florida Championship Wrestling, before returning to WWC. Soon after returning, Sewell competed in several matches for the Puerto Rico Heavyweight and Universal Heavyweight Championships, but was unable to win either title. On August 8, Sewell defeated Idol Stevens for the Puerto Rico Title. After two successful title defenses, Sewell lost the title to Orlando Colón on September 29. On September 27, Sewell defeated Noriega, BJ and Orlando Colón to win the Unified Universal Title for the third time. Sewell continued his feud with Colón by defeating him in a match for the Universal Title on October 17. He would go on to lose the title to Noriega on November 28, 2009. Sewell returned to the promotion thirteen months later, interfering in a match between Carly Colón and Ricky Banderas, costing Colón the Universal Heavyweight Championship and reforming "Los Hermanos en Dolor".

paragraph: Section::::Professional wrestling career.:Various promotions.

paragraph: Shane Sewell returned to the IWA for their Christmas in PR event, but left after Juicio Final to appear in the PRWA (Puerto Rico Wrestling Association) in April 2010. On October 18, 2014, at WWL Insurrection, Sewell defeated Monster Pain to win the WWL World Heavyweight Championship. He lost the title to Alberto el Patron in January 2015 at WWL's Three Kings Day holiday event in a three-way match that also included Ricky Banderas.

paragraph: Daisy Coburn

paragraph: Daisy May Keeley Coburn (born 27 October 1993), is a British singer and songwriter. She previously performed under the stage name Daisy Dares You, a reference to the character of the same name from the 1990s British television show "ZZZap!". After performing under this name between 2009 and 2010 and recording an album which was never released, she was dropped by her record label.

paragraph: As of 2013 she is in a Brighton-based band called Pink Lizards, where she plays guitar and is the lead singer.

paragraph: From 2015 she has been performing and releasing music in her Brighton-based band Clever Thing alongside Rich Fownes (Bad For Lazarus, UNKLE, Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, Nine Inch Nails)

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Coburn was born in Great Dunmow, Essex. Coming from a musical family, with her mother once working as a backing singer for bands Duran Duran and The The, Coburn learned to play the guitar and piano when she was six years old. On Boxing Day 2007, Coburn played a song she had been writing called "Hurt" to family and friends. A friend of her mother's, Matthew Marston, heard the song and invited her to his home studio to record it. Coburn and Marston later wrote together on her debut album, "Rush".

paragraph: After picking up widespread promotional coverage in the media from "The Times", the BBC, and "The Guardian" as a young artist to watch for in 2010, Coburn was signed to a record company; She was managed by Empire, and signed to Jive, a subsidiary of Sony Records. There was reportedly a 'bidding-war' to get Coburn to sign up to a record company. She mainly used social networking websites to broadcast her music, such as MySpace where she posted demos and her YouTube channel where the video for her song "Daisy Dares You" and "Rosie" can be found.

paragraph: Coburn's first single, "Number One Enemy", featured British rapper Chipmunk and reached the top 20 in the UK.

paragraph: Section::::Songwriting, genre and influences.

paragraph: Before Coburn was signed she would write songs on her own on a guitar. For her debut album she co-wrote several tracks with her mother's friend Matthew Marston. Much of Coburn's music is about her own personal experiences such as boyfriends, sibling rivalry, disloyal schoolfriends and emotional growing pains. Coming from a musical family and reading poetry has helped Coburn in her writing.

paragraph: Coburn's musical genres vary from teen-pop to pop rock to pop and electropop. Her musical influences also vary, possibly the reason behind her varying genres; Coburn has stated she is influenced by many bands and artists such as Nirvana and Lou Reed. She has stated that her writing is influenced by indie singers such as Florence and the Machine and Bat for Lashes but when she writes "it just seems to come out as pop". Comparisons have been made between her and British singer-songwriter Lily Allen as well as Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne. Regarding her comparison to Avril Lavigne, Coburn stated "just because I'm female and young they have to put you in a box. Frankly, anyone who says I was influenced by Avril Lavigne can get stuffed".

paragraph: Section::::"Rush".

paragraph: "Rush" is the first studio album by Daisy Dares You, and was scheduled to be released in June 2010, with the single "Rosie" released in May 2010. The album was never released.

paragraph: Section::::Discography.

Zarbula's Sundials

paragraph: Giovanni Francesco Zarbula

paragraph: Giovanni Francesco Zarbula was a mural painter and sundial designer from Piedmont Italy who created a hundred or more vertical and vertical declining sundials in the French and Italian Alpes between 1830 and 1881. He worked exclusively in Savoy, in Piémont, the Valley of the Ubaye, le Queyras and around Briançon.

paragraph: Section::::Laying out the dial.

paragraph: Zarbula's method was one of observation then geometric construction. He did not need to know the latitude or declination of the wall, he did not use tables or calculations he just worked directly on the wall. All his dial were within 2° of the 45th parallel, simplifying the construction, and all gave five-minute accuracy.

paragraph: BULLET::::- With a plumb bob he drew a vertical line on the wall. This is the Noon Line.

paragraph: BULLET::::- He hammered a rod into the wall at right angles to the vertical. This is known as the centre of the dial, C

paragraph: BULLET::::- He observed and marked the shadow thrown by the tip of that rod, throughout a day. This line, technically known as a hyperbolic declination line.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Using a set of compasses, he determines the line of symmetry on the wall. This is the substyle line.

paragraph: All the rest of the dial was laid out using a 45° square, with a 15° measure at the end.

paragraph: BULLET::::- He drew a horizontal line at a point of choice on the dial plate. This was the Horizon.

paragraph: BULLET::::- The square was placed on the substyle facing outwards, it is slid into any convenient position where it cuts the horizon, and he drew a perpendicular line drawn to that point. This line is called the equatorial. A line was drawn from that point to the centre of the dial; it was the 18h line (or 6h depending on the declination (d) of the wall). The points where the equatorial crosses the noon line and where the equatorial crosses the substyle line were important.

paragraph: BULLET::::- He placed apex of the square on the substyle line, so the sides passed through the equatorial points mentioned. (The 12h and 18h markers). The apex point is called the auxiliary equatorial centre.

paragraph: BULLET::::- A protractor or squares drew off 15° intervals on the equatorial. These were connected to the centre of the dial: the hour lines. The distance from the auxiliary equatorial centre to the equatorial formed the substyle height at that point.

paragraph: Section::::The colours.

paragraph: Zarbula treated his paintings as frescos so the body colour was embedded in the supporting lime mortar. He didn't use organic pigments, just oxides. These do not fade in the strong alpine sunlight.

paragraph: Section::::Existing Dials (cadrans).

paragraph: Of the hundred dials by Zarbula, about 50 have survived, and a further dozen show visible traces.

paragraph: In Hautes-Alpes, seven dials are protected as Historic monuments.

paragraph: His dials can be divided into three specific styles Öiseau (Birds), Geometric, Baroque. The birds that appear in the dials of the early 1840s include toucans, jabirus, parakeets and other exotic birds not seen in these mountains. The geometric works of the late 1840s and 1850s are noted or their simplicity, and contain a little trompe l'oeil to give the design some artificial depth. The baroque dials are contain birds, vases, full trompe l'oeil and false-marbling. They contain the symbols of the Second Empire (1852-1870) and Napoleon III particularly the Imperial Eagle. The dials produced after 1865 include the Masonic device of the Square and Compasses: this is co-incidental to the rise and acceptance of masonry on both sides of the Italian French border.

paragraph: François Grimaldi

paragraph: Francesco Grimaldi (François, in French, Francis, in English), called il Malizia (""the malicious""), was the Genoese leader of the Guelphs who captured the Rock of Monaco on the night of 8 January 1297. He was the son of Guglielmo Grimaldi by his wife Giacobina or Giacoba, a Genoese noble.

paragraph: Section::::Capture of Monaco.

paragraph: Dressed as a Franciscan friar, Francesco was greeted at the gates of Monaco's castle, only then to seize the castle with his cousin Rainier I, Lord of Cagnes, and a group of men behind him. The event is commemorated on the Monegasque coat of arms, on which the supporters are two friars armed with swords. He held the citadel of Monaco for four years before being chased out by the Genoese. The battle over "the rock" was taken over by his kinsmen. Francesco thus failed to establish Grimaldi's rule over Monaco, but was the first to attempt to do so.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: He was married in 1295 to Aurelia del Carretto; the marriage was childless. The modern Grimaldis are therefore not descendants of Francesco. After his death, in 1309, he was succeeded by his cousin (and stepson), Rainier I, Lord of Cagnes.

paragraph: His cousin's descendants, the Grimaldi family, still rule Monaco today. Over one hundred years after the coup, the Grimaldis purchased Monaco from the crown of Aragon in 1419, and became the official and undisputed rulers of "the Rock of Monaco".

paragraph: Gil Eanes

paragraph: Gil Eanes (or Eannes, in the old Portuguese spelling; ) was a 15th-century Portuguese navigator and explorer.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Eanes was born in Lagos in 1395. Little is known about his personal life prior to his role in the Portuguese Age of Discovery, and was considered a household servant and shield-bearer of the Infante Henry the Navigator. He was a native of Lagos on which he based his sea voyages, in the southern Algarve.

paragraph: He joined the service of Prince Henry's expeditions in 1433, when the Infante entrusted him with a vessel and crew, in order to attempt to round Cape Bojador, a cape impassable with their level of knowledge and equipment. Sailing from Lagos, Portugal, Eanes made an unknown number of voyages along the west coast of Africa, before being driven west towards the Canary Islands. In the islands he captured some inoffensive natives and returned with them as captives to Sagres, excusing his failure by recounting the dangers of the trip. His return was greeted with reserve and coldness in the court of Prince Henry, who had expected the navigator to succeed in rounding the Cape. Eanes hoped to return to favour in the following year, if the Prince would favour him with a second expedition. In 1434, his barquentine-caravel and crew was able to sail beyond Cape Bojador and return to Sagres, reporting the conditions of the water, land and ease of navigation beyond the Cape, and bringing with him some wild roses to prove that they had succeeded in their expedition. The discovery of a passable route around Cape Bojador marked the beginning of the Portuguese exploration of Africa.

paragraph: Eanes made another voyage, with Afonso Gonçalves Baldaia, in 1435. They sailed about 30 leagues (144 km), or even 50 leagues (240 km) south of Cape Bojador and reached the African coast. Although they did not discover any inhabitants immediately, they did find traces of a human presence, during a voyage that was considered favourable. They named the bay in which they anchored "Angra dos Ruivos" ("Cove of Reds"), for the abundance of fish (resembling gurnets) that they caught in the waters.

paragraph: Section::::Named after.

paragraph: A city square is named in his native city of Lagos, Portugal.

paragraph: An old lyceum in Mindelo on the island of São Vicente, Cape Verde, was named for him, in the 1930s, it had the best education on the island and the archipelago. Today it is known as Escola Jorge Barbosa and forms a campus of the University of Cape Verde.

paragraph: Also a Portuguese Navy ship was named for him which was built in 1955.
