He was the first person ever to use a swearword on the front page of Times Higher Education in 1996. He was elected vice chair of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals in 1996. "At 45 he believes he is the youngest vice chancellor, but after five years at TVU – seeing it through a transformation from institute of higher education to polytechnic to university – he is far from the least experienced. Peer respect for the sharp mind behind a laddish exterior was signalled last week when the CVCP council chose him as vice chair in succession to David Melville of Middlesex University." <mask> was a passionate advocate for widening participation in higher education. In the mid-1990s, less than a third of eighteen-year-olds went into UK higher education.<mask> used his experience at the Open University and in the polytechnic sector to create a new learning environment to support and sustain a mass system of higher education. As he had experienced at Cambridge and learnt at the Open University, assessment was a key vehicle for teaching itself, and so he argued for continuous, student-driven learning. He envisaged a  "student driven university" led by a "New Learning Environment", which sought to use new media along with some traditional teaching, and whose learning outcomes were career-driven rather than classically academic and disciplinary in nature. He said: "Just as you need students to be active learners, so you need teachers to be active tutors. A lecture-driven model renders both teachers and learners passive." "...education is something you do; it's not something that happens to you. It is an active

Though such courses are now commonplace, at the time they were held up as examples of  "dumbing down" and lowering of standards. <mask>'s changes, while prescient in many ways, were instituted rapidly. They were opposed by the staff union of TVU because they led to negative terms and conditions for employees, and poorer and rapidly changing conditions for academics. There were only two years during his tenure that no industrial action was held. He was frustrated that some academic staff were not on board with his vision of a "New Learning Environment". Poor relations with some of the teaching staff, combined with the very rapid pace of change and reliance on new computer technologies, created the greatest problems for his management.A scandal over low pass marks for resit exam candidates was quickly redressed by <mask> in October 1997. He also called in  the Quality Assurance Agency. The industrial disputes with staff clearly had a negative impact on meeting marking deadlines, and thus on student progression. The QAA report gave negative evaluations of TVU's academic standards in many areas – registration, timetabling, validation, student support and assessment systems. The report said "The University chose to implement this vision of a New Learning Environment at the same time as it completely recast the underpinning academic-related administration. As we believe might have been anticipated, this subjected the institution, its staff and its systems, to stresses which it was not able to bear." Despite widespread suspicion that the QAA had

This article reflects the prevailing theories regarding <mask>'s heritage. There is information, however, published about the Shipley and Berry family and for Kentucky heritage sites that differs from the prevailing theory.This is explored in greater detail in the <mask> <mask> heritage article. Early life and education

<mask> was born to Lucy Hanks in what was at that time part of Hampshire County, Virginia. Today, the same location is in Antioch in Mineral County, West Virginia. <mask>'s law partner William Herndon reported that <mask> told him that his maternal grandfather was "a well-bred Virginia farmer or planter." According to William E. Barton in The Life of <mask> and Michael Burkhimer in 100 Essential Lincoln Books, <mask> was most likely born illegitimate and her family created stories to lead Abraham to believe he was a legitimate member of the Sparrow family. It is believed that <mask>' grandparents were Ann and Joseph Hanks and that they raised her from infancy until her grandfather died when she was about nine years old. At the time of <mask>'s birth, Joseph and his wife and children were all living on 108 acres near Patterson Creek in then-Hampshire County, Virginia.In March 1784, Joseph Hanks sold his property via a mortgage and moved his wife, eight children and

 young granddaughter <mask> to Kentucky. The family lived on land along Pottinger's Creek, in a settlement called Rolling Fork in Nelson County, Kentucky, until patriarch Joseph's death in 1793. <mask>'s grandmother, who was called by the more formal name Ann rather than the common nickname of <mask>, decided to return to her homeland, Farnham parish in Virginia. At that time, <mask> went to live with her mother, now Lucy Hanks Sparrow, having married Henry Sparrow in Harrodsburg, Kentucky two or three years earlier. After Lucy's sister Elizabeth Hanks married Henry Sparrow's brother Thomas in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1796, <mask> went to live with the couple, whom she called mother and father. She was known as <mask> and was described as "intelligent, deeply religious, kindly and affectionate." Lucy's sister gave birth to an illegitimate son in 1799 named Dennis Friend Hanks, who was also raised by Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow.At the home of Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow, <mask> would have learned the skills and crafts a woman needed on the frontier to cultivate crops and clothe and feed her family. She learned to read the Bible and became an excellent seamstress, working at the Richard Berry home before her marriage. Lucy's marriage to Henry Sparrow produced eight children, and Lucy had a reputation as a "fine Christian woman." Two sons were loyal to the Union during the Civil War and were preachers. Timeline of events and relationships

Marriage and family

On June 12, 1806, Hanks married <mask> at Beechland, the home of Richard Berry, by Reverend Jesse Head. <mask> was brought to the home to work as a seamstress by her friend Polly Ewing Berry, the wife of Richard Berry Jr. since October 10, 1794. Polly was a friend of <mask>'s from Mercer County, Kentucky, and Richard Berry Jr. was a good friend of

 <mask>.<mask> proposed to her in his childhood home at what is now Lincoln Homestead State Park or in the Francis Berry house in front of the fireplace. <mask>'s marriage bond was signed by Richard Berry Jr., who identified himself as her guardian. Per Warren, "The title had no legal significance, Berry having never been so appointed, and <mask> was then of age. But to him to call himself 'guardian' was a courtesy customary under such circumstances [no father able to sign the marriage bond]." A record of their marriage license is held at the county courthouse. They had three children:
<mask> (February 10, 1807 – January 20, 1828)
<mask> (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)
<mask> Jr. (died in infancy, 1812)

The young family lived in what was then Hardin County, Kentucky, (now LaRue) on the Knob Creek Farm. Neighbors reported that <mask> <mask> was "superior" to her husband, a mild yet strong personality who taught young Abraham his letters as well as the extraordinary sweetness and forbearance for which he was known.In 1816, the year that Indiana became the 19th state, the <mask> family moved to Spencer County in southern Indiana and proceeded to homestead at Little Pigeon Creek Settlement (now Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial). Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow and Dennis Hanks settled at Little Pigeon Creek the following fall, having lived in a shelter in which the <mask>s had lived until they built their cabin. While Abraham was ten years younger than his second cousin Dennis, the boys were good friends. Description

William Herndon, author of Life of Lincoln, describes <mask> <mask>:
She was above the ordinary height in stature, weighed about 130 pounds, was slenderly built, and had much the appearance of one inclined to consumption. Her skin was dark; hair dark brown; eyes gray and small; forehead prominent; face

 sharp and angular, with a marked expression for melancholy which fixed itself in the memory of all who ever saw or knew her. Though her life was clouded by a spirit of sadness, she was in disposition amiable and generally cheerful. <mask> was also described as "a bold, reckless, daredevil kind of woman, stepping on to the very verge of propriety."<mask> inherited his mother's appearance and manner. She was "mild, tender, and intellectually inclined." Death

While living at Little Pigeon Creek Settlement, <mask> <mask> died on October 5, 1818, age 34. Her nine-year-old son Abraham assisted his father in the making of her coffin by whittling the wooden pegs that held the planks together. Eleven-year-old Sarah cared for Abraham until their father remarried the next year. There are two views as to the cause of <mask> <mask>'s death. One view is that she died of "milk sickness."Several people had died that fall from the illness, including Elizabeth and Thomas Sparrow, who raised her and then lived with her on the Lincolns' property at the Little Pigeon Creek settlement. The Sparrows died in September, weeks before <mask>'s death, and Dennis moved in with the Lincolns. The illness was caused by drinking the milk or eating the meat of cows that had eaten white snakeroot. The plant contains the potent toxin tremetol, which is passed through the milk. The migrants from the East were unfamiliar with the Midwestern plant and its effects. In the 19th century before people understood the cause of the illness, thousands in the Midwest died of milk sickness. The second view is that <mask> died of consumption.In 1870 <mask>'s law partner and biographer, William Herndon, wrote to fellow <mask> biographer Ward Lamon saying that "Mrs. <mask> died as said by some with the milk sickness, some with a galloping quick consumption",

 wasting disease or tuberculosis. It has also been theorized that <mask> had a marfanoid body habitus (or a marfanoid type of physique) with the same unusual facial features as her son. This theory suggests that she died of cancer (which is a wasting disease) related to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b (MEN2B), and that she passed the gene for this syndrome to her son (see Medical and mental health of <mask>). <mask>'s grave is located in what has been named the Pioneer Cemetery, also known as the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Cemetery. Her headstone was purchased by P. E. Studebaker, an industrialist from South Bend, in 1878. At least 20 unmarked and eight marked graves are at the site; <mask> is buried next to <mask> Brooner, a neighbor who died a week before <mask> from milk sickness.Henry Brooner, <mask>'s son and best childhood friend of <mask>, later recalled, "I remember very distinctly that when Mrs. <mask>'s grave was filled, my father, Peter Brooner, extended his hand to <mask> and said, 'We are brothers now', meaning that they were brothers in the same kind of sorrow. The bodies of my mother and Mrs. <mask> were conveyed to their graves on sleds." Her aunt and uncle Elizabeth (Hanks) and Thomas Sparrow, also her childhood caregivers, are buried nearby. The cemetery is located on the grounds of the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, a National Historic Landmark District managed by the National Park Service in present-day Lincoln City, Indiana. Honors

In 1941, Katherine K. Davis, who co-wrote the lyrics to "The Little Drummer Boy", wrote the music for the ballad "Nancy Hanks" as a tribute to <mask>'s mother. The song uses as its lyrics the Rosemary Benét poem "<mask>s" (originally published in Stephen Vincent Benét's A Book of Americans).

 Festival Award in 2011 for Best One-Woman Show. <mask> <mask> is teaching Michael Chekhov Technique (acting and directing) at HB Studio in New York. He was the teacher of Natalya Rudakova, the leading star of Transporter 3 movie.Themes and Style

<mask> <mask> is primarily recognized for dynamic, provocative and comedic staging of plays by Russian writers. He is a keen follower and a teacher of Stanislavsky and Michael Chekhov technique, and believes that the actor should be in a constant state of "play". He stresses the necessity of creating a gap between the actor and the character, and is a strong opponent of the use of affective memory on stage. His directing style is based on Stanislavsky's principle of "layering" actions: psychological, physical, and verbal. His work is often regarded as physical theater with mesmerizing atmospheres, although he has dismissed the claim in an interview, "It's not physical theater. It's our theater. We create theater we want to see."His signature staging of the short stories by Anton Chekhov created a sensation in the New York theater scene. He tends to create visually compelling, colorful performances, usually presented at unique spaces not typically used for theater performances. <mask>'s sold-out run of "Uncle Vanya" was staged on the second floor of the historic Stanton Street Shul. His most recent production of "Avenue of Wonder" re-inaugurated the Balcony Theater at West Park Presbyterian Church, which was the original home to the Riverside Shakespeare Company and one of Joe Papp's earliest venues.

Guilt may be up to fog and its uneven formation on the upper surface, or a fatal error in pilotage, as one can not believe, knowing the extraordinary abilities of Nikitin, as a good, serious and conscientious pilot." Pilot <mask>n was buried at the Orthodox cemetery Zemun, September 15, 1933 with all the honors that belong to him as a respectable citizen, soldier, pilot and man.At the accident site, there is an evidence that slabs of the time and the names of people missing in the disaster.

<mask> (August 30, 1814 – May 3, 1882) was an American educator, attorney, politician and diplomat active primarily in the second half of the 19th century. Initially elected to the House of Representatives from Tennessee's 2nd Congressional District for the term commencing on March 4, 1857, <mask>, an ardent Union supporter and later abolitionist, became one of the few Southern congressmen to maintain his seat in the House during the Civil War. Toward the end of the war, <mask> served as Tennessee's attorney general under Governor Andrew Johnson, and later served as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire under President Ulysses S. Grant and Postmaster General under President Rutherford B. Hayes. <mask> left his teaching position at East Tennessee College in the early 1840s to pursue a career in law, and quickly developed a reputation among his peers for his reasoning ability and biting sarcastic style. He spent much of his first two terms in Congress fighting to preserve the Union, and during the Civil War, he consistently urged President Abraham Lincoln to send Union forces to free East Tennessee from its Confederate occupiers. <mask> returned to Congress after the war, but being a Republican in a Democrat-controlled state, he struggled in statewide elections. Biography

Early life
Born in Westborough, Massachusetts, <mask> was educated at Millbury Academy and later at Amherst College.When <mask> entered Amherst, he puzzled his classmates by placing a "V" above his door, the meaning of which was revealed in 1838 when <mask> was named valedictorian of his graduating class. In 1839, he moved to

 Knoxville, Tennessee, where he accepted a position as a professor at East Tennessee College (now the University of Tennessee). He initially taught in the university's preparatory (high school) department, but in 1841 he became a college-level teacher of mathematics and ancient languages. <mask> was initially disenchanted with Knoxville, which he considered backward and unsophisticated, and contemplated leaving Tennessee. After he was admitted to the bar in 1844, however, he found a niche arguing cases in local courts, and decided to make the city his permanent home. Knoxville attorney Oliver Perry Temple (1820–1907), a colleague of <mask>, described <mask> as "abrupt and unamiable, and often offensive in his manners, snapping up men without hesitation." This style agitated <mask>'s peers, but at the same time gained their respect.Early congressional terms

When <mask> first ran for Congress in 1852, he was ruthlessly attacked in local newspapers, and was defeated by William Churchwell. In 1856, with the Knoxville Whig backing his campaign, he captured the 2nd District's congressional seat. In his 1858 reelection campaign, <mask> easily defeated fellow attorney J. C. Ramsey, winning 67% of the vote. <mask> initially supported the Whig Party, and served as a presidential elector in 1852. After the collapse of the Whig Party, he ran for Congress on the American, Opposition and Unionist party tickets for congressional terms beginning in 1857, 1859, and 1861, respectively.

 East Tennessee Unionists. During the 1830s, <mask>, the son of an abolitionist, found slavery contemptible, calling it "a curse to the country."By 1850, however, <mask> was defending the practice of slavery in letters to his father, arguing there was a "bright as well as a dark side to slavery." In 1860, <mask> had previously owned four slaves, and while he opposed secession as a congressman, he nevertheless defended slavery. Near the end of the Civil War, <mask> shifted once again to an abolitionist viewpoint on slavery, and supported Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Along with fellow Unionists Andrew Johnson, T. A. R. Nelson, and William G. Brownlow, <mask> worked feverishly to keep Tennessee in the Union amidst the secession crisis of 1860 and 1861. In the weeks leading up to the state's June 8 referendum on secession, <mask> travelled across East Tennessee, giving dozens of pro-Union speeches. <mask> was also a member of the Knox County delegation to the pro-Union East Tennessee Convention, which sought to create a separate Union-aligned state in East Tennessee. Civil War

After the East Tennessee Union Convention adjourned in June 1861, <mask> headed for Washington, D.C. to take his seat in Congress.When Confederate forces occupied East Tennessee later that year, <mask> consistently pleaded with Lincoln to send troops to free the region, warning that East Tennesseans' "tears and blood will be a blot on your administration that time can never efface." In December 1861, <mask> blasted General George H. Thomas for balking at an invasion of the region in the wake of so-called

 bridge-burning conspiracy, calling his efforts "disgraceful." Later that month, General George B. McClellan wrote to General Don Carlos Buell:

Johnson, <mask>, etc., are again becoming frantic, and have President Lincoln's sympathy excited. Political considerations would make it advisable to get the arms and troops into Eastern Tennessee at a very early day ... In spite of <mask>'s efforts, Union troops did not enter Knoxville until September 1863. By the time <mask> returned to the city, a rift had developed among East Tennessee's Unionists between those who supported the Emancipation Proclamation (led by <mask> and Brownlow) and those who simply sought a return to the pre-war status quo (led by Nelson and Knoxville mayor James C. Luttrell). In 1864, <mask> was appointed Tennessee's attorney general by Andrew Johnson, who had been installed as the state's military governor.Postwar activities

<mask> attended the National Union Convention in 1866 and was elected to the 39th Congress as an Unconditional Unionist the same year following the readmission of Tennessee into the Union. He then served in the 40th, 41st, 42nd and 43rd Congresses as a Republican. During the 43rd Congress he acted as chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Banking and Currency. In 1868, while serving in Congress, <mask> was appointed to the Tennessee Supreme Court by Governor Brownlow to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Samuel Milligan. <mask> held both offices simultaneously, but his right to do so was challenged in Calloway v. Strum, 48 Tennessee (1 Heiskell), 764. The court in that case held that

 <mask>'s judicial acts were valid based on the presumption that his acceptance of the Supreme Court appointment constituted a resignation of his congressional office, and that it was up to Congress to address his continued occupation of that office. <mask>'s name was on the ballot to be nominated for Vice President in the 1872 National Union Republican Convention held in Philadelphia on June 5 and 6.<mask> lost and only received 26 total votes. All 24 from Tennessee, and 1 each from Alabama and Mississippi. <mask> reached the height of his political career in 1873 when he defeated both former President Andrew Johnson and popular West Tennessee politician Benjamin F. Cheatham in the race for Tennessee's at-large congressional district. The following year, he ran for Governor of Tennessee as a Republican, but lost to James D. Porter. He was appointed Minister to Turkey and served from 1875 to 1880 in that post. He was appointed United States Postmaster General in the Cabinet of President Rutherford B. Hayes and served from June 2, 1880 to March 5, 1881. <mask> died suddenly from heart disease in Knoxville in 1882, and was buried in Knoxville's Old Gray Cemetery.Legacy

<mask> was remembered among his peers for his powerful intellect and sense of persuasiveness. Knoxville Journal editor William Rule wrote that <mask> was the "best read man" of East Tennessee's lawyers, while abolitionist Frederick Douglass once remarked that <mask> had a "three story head." Knoxville mayor Peter Staub (a Democrat) said that even though he disliked <mask>, he was so impressed with <mask>'s reasoning and rhetoric

 that he voted for him twice. Oliver Perry Temple wrote of <mask>: "Many were the persons he stung and wounded by his biting sarcasm or pungent wit." Humorist George Washington Harris mocked <mask> ("Stilyards") in his story, "The Widow McCloud's Mare." During the 1850s, Knox County attempted to sue the newly formed Union County, Tennessee, out of existence. <mask> successfully represented Union County, and in return, the county named its county seat, Maynardville, in his honor.Horace <mask> High School served the county from 1923 until 1997, when it became a middle school. During the Spanish–American War, the USS Nashville, commanded by <mask>'s son, Washburn, fired the war's first American shot. Another son, James, was president of the Knoxville-based Brookside Mills in the early 1900s. References and notes

<mask> (張駿 Zhāng Jùn; 307–346), courtesy name Gongting (公庭), formally Duke Zhongcheng of Xiping (西平忠成公, posthumous name given by Jin Dynasty (266–420)) or Duke Wen of Xiping (西平文公, posthumous name used internally in Former Liang) was a ruler of the Chinese state Former Liang. During his reign, he at times used the Jin-created title of Duke of Xiping, but when forced to submit to Han Zhao and Later Zhao, he used the title Prince of Liang. Late in his reign, even when not under Later Zhao's pressure, he claimed the title of "Acting Prince of Liang." During the brief reign of his son <mask>, he was honored as Prince Wen of Liang (涼文王). The Book of Jin describes <mask> as having an extraordinary appearance and was talented at literature, however he was also an extravagant and dissipated man. Early life
<mask> was the son of <mask> (張寔), the Jin governor of Liang Province (涼州, modern central and western Gansu) and the Duke of Xiping. In 320, <mask> was assassinated by his guards Yan She (閻涉) and Zhao Ang (趙卬), who were followers of the magician Liu Hong (劉弘), who had falsely prophesied that he would be the ruler of Liang Province.<mask>'s brother <mask> captured and executed Liu and his followers. Because <mask> was still young (aged 13) at the time, <mask>'s subordinates requested that <mask> take over the governorship. (Because <mask> also declared a general pardon at the time, a power normally reserved for an emperor, this was often viewed as the date of Former Liang's independence from Jin.) <mask> made

 <mask> a general, and later in the year named him his heir. In 324, <mask> died, and <mask> succeeded him. Because <mask> had previously been forced to submit to Han Zhao and was given the title the Prince of Liang, <mask> carried that title as well, even though internally he used the Jin-vested title of Duke of Xiping. Early reign
In 326, <mask>, in fear of Han Zhao, forcibly relocated the people of Longxi (隴西) and Nan'an (南安, collectively roughly Dingxi, Gansu) Commanderies to the capital Guzang (姑臧, in modern Wuwei, Gansu).He also sought peace with Cheng Han's emperor Li Xiong and further tried to persuade Li Xiong to become a Jin vassal. Li Xiong agreed to peace and further did not completely rebuff <mask>'s overture, but also did not actually become a Jin vassal. In 327, after hearing news that Han Zhao had suffered losses at Later Zhao's hands, <mask> disavowed all titles granted by Han Zhao and returned to Jin titles, and attacked Han Zhao's Qin Province (秦州, modern eastern Gansu). Han Zhao's prince Liu Yin counterattacked, and, after defeating Former Liang general Han Pu (韓璞), captured all Former Liang territory south of the Yellow River and further crossed the river, but did not advance further. However, <mask> did not resubmit to Han Zhao. As Han Zhao disintegrated and fell to Later Zhao in 329 after its emperor Liu Yao was captured by Later Zhao forces, Former Liang took the opportunity to regain lands south of the Yellow River. In 330, Later Zhao's emperor Shi Le sent messengers to persuade

 Former Liang to submit (by granting him honors, including the nine bestowments), but <mask> refused and detained Shi Le's messengers.Later in the year, however, after Later Zhao's general Shi Sheng (石生) the Prince of Hedong defeated the nearby Xiongnu chieftain Shi Qiang (石羌), <mask> became apprehensive and submitted to Later Zhao. In 333, in the aftermaths of Shi Le's death and the coup by his nephew Shi Hu, a number of Later Zhao generals rebelled and tried to seek Jin and Former Liang assistance. Former Liang tried to ally itself with one of these generals, the Di chief Pu Hong (蒲洪). However, in light of Shi Hu's victory over most of the other generals, Pu soon submitted to Shi Hu. Shi Hu, however, did not appear to consider attacking Former Liang, and, not having to fight Later Zhao for years, by 335 <mask>'s domain was described as being so rich and strong and under his capable leadership that it also became overlord over a number of Xiyu (西域, collective name for modern Xinjiang and former Soviet central Asia) kingdoms, which offered tribute to <mask>. He submitted a plan to Emperor Cheng of Jin requesting to attack Later Zhao and/or Cheng Han jointly with Jin forces, but the plan was not acted upon by Emperor Cheng. Late reign
In 339, <mask> transferred some of his authorities to his heir apparent, <mask>hua.In 340, he offered tribute to Shi Hu, but in his petition he used arrogant words. Shi Hu was angered and wanted to kill his messenger, but Shi Hu's official Shi Pu (石璞) was able to persuade

 him to overlook <mask>'s arrogance. In 344, a battle between Former Liang and Later Zhao forces was mentioned, perhaps indicating that the relationship was not as peaceful as before. In early 346, <mask> attacked the Xiyu kingdom Yanqi (焉耆, in modern Bayin'gholin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang), and Yanqui submitted to him. By this point, he was described as having taken the title Acting Prince of Liang (假涼王) and using styles that were usually reserved for emperors. In summer 346, <mask> died, and was succeeded by his heir apparent <mask>. Era name?Most historical sources indicate that <mask>, like his father <mask> and his uncle <mask>, continued to use Emperor Min of Jin's era name Jianxing (both to show continued allegiance to Jin and to distance himself from Emperor Yuan of Jin and his line) but some sources indicate that he changed era name to Taiyuan (太元 tài yuán 324–346). A current theory is that his era name was used internally while the Jianxing era name was used when communicating with other states. Personal information

<mask> (1504 – 29 February 1528) was a Scottish churchman and an early Protestant Reformer in Scotland. He travelled to Europe, where he met several of the leading reformed thinkers, before returning to Scotland to preach. He was tried as a heretic by Archbishop James Beaton, found guilty and handed over to secular authorities to be burnt at the stake in St Andrews as Scotland's first martyr of the Reformation. Early life
He was the second son of Sir <mask> of Kincavil and Catherine Stewart, daughter of Alexander, Duke of Albany, second son of James II of Scotland. He was born in the diocese of Glasgow, probably at his father's estate of Stanehouse in Lanarkshire, and was most likely educated at Linlithgow. In 1517 he was appointed titular Abbot of Fearn Abbey, Ross-shire. The income from this position paid for him to study at the University of Paris, where he became a Master of the Arts in 1520.It was in Paris, where Martin Luther's writings were already exciting much discussion, that he first learnt the doctrines he would later uphold. According to sixteenth century theologian Alexander Ales, <mask>, who in 1521 had his headquarters there. Return and flight
Returning to Scotland, <mask> selected St Andrews, the capital of the Catholic Church in Scotland and of education, as his residence. On 9 June 1523 he became a member of St Leonard's College, part of the University of St Andrews, and on 3 October 1524 he was admitted to its faculty of arts, where he was first a student of, and then a colleague of the Renaissance humanist and logician John Mair. At the university <mask> attained such influence that he was permitted, as precentor, to conduct a Solemn High Mass based on music of his own composition at the St. Andrew's Cathedral. The reforming doctrines, however,
had obtained a firm hold on the young abbot, and he was eager to communicate them to his fellow-countrymen. Early in 1527

 the attention of James Beaton, Archbishop of St Andrews, was directed to the heretical preaching of the young priest, whereupon he ordered that <mask> should be formally tried.<mask> fled to Germany, enrolling himself as a student, under Franz Lambert of Avignon, in the new University of Marburg, opened on 30 May 1527 by Philip of Hesse. Among those he met there were Hermann von dem Busche, one of the contributors to the Epistolæ Obscurorum Virorum, John Frith and William Tyndale. Late in the autumn of 1527, Fr<mask> returned to Scotland, speaking openly of his convictions. He went first to his brother's house at Kincavel, near Linlithgow, where he preached frequently, and, soon afterwards, he renounced clerical celibacy and married a young lady of noble rank; her name is unrecorded. David Beaton, the Abbot of Arbroath, avoiding open violence through fear of <mask>'s powerful protectors, invited him to a conference at St Andrews. The Young minister, predicting that he was going to "confirm the pious in the true doctrine" by his death, accepted the invitation, and for nearly a month was allowed to preach and to debate.With the publication of <mask>'s Places in 1528, he introduced into Scottish theology Martin Luther's emphasis of the distinction of Law and Gospel. Trial and execution

At length, he was summoned before a council of bishops and clergy presided over by the archbishop. There were thirteen charges, seven based on the doctrines in Philip Melanchthon's Loci Communes, the first theological exposition of Martin Luther's scriptural study and teachings in 1521. On examination <mask> expressed a belief in their truth, and the council sentenced him to death on all thirteen charges. <mask> was seized, and allegedly surrendered to the soldiery based on an assurance that he would be restored to his friends without injury. However, after a debate with Friar Campbell, the council handed

 him over to the secular power, to be burnt at the stake outside the front entrance to St Salvator's Chapel in St Andrews. The sentence was carried out on the same day to preclude any attempted rescue by friends.He burnt from noon to 6 p.m. and his last words were "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit". The spot is today marked with a monogram of his initials set into the cobblestones of the pavement of North Street. Legacy
<mask>'s execution attracted more interest than ever before to Lutheranism and greatly contributed to the Reformation in Scotland. It was said that the "reek of Master <mask> infected as many as it blew upon". <mask>'s fortitude during his execution persuaded Alexander Ales, who had been appointed to convince <mask> of his errors, to enter into the Lutheran Church. His martyrdom is unusual in that he was almost alone in Scotland during the Lutheran stage of the Reformation. His only known writings, based upon Loci communes and known as "Patrick's Places", echoed the doctrine of justification by faith and the contrast between the gospel and the law in a series of clear-cut propositions.'"Patrickes Places"' was not <mask>'s own title, but was given in the translation into English by John Fryth in 1564, and are presented in Book 8 of the 1570 edition of John Foxe's "Acts and Monuments"..

Students at the University of St Andrews traditionally avoid stepping on the monogram of <mask>'s initials outside St Salvator's Chapel for fear of being cursed and failing their final exams. To lift the curse students may participate in the annual May dip where they traditionally run into the North Sea at 05.00 to wash away their sins and bad luck.

 to Berwick upon Tweed for her beliefs. She had been in England before and met the Queen, Jane Seymour. According to the historian John Spottiswood, Katherine was brought to trial for heresy before James V at Holyroodhouse in 1534, and her other brother <mask> of Livingston fled. The King was impressed by her conviction shown in her short answer to the prosecutor.He laughed and spoke to her privately, convincing her to abandon her profession of faith. The other accused also recanted for the time. Bibliography

He reached the quarterfinals of the 2010 Aegon International and the semifinals of the 2011 Aegon Championships as a wildcard entry. His best Grand Slam performance to date was reaching the third round of Wimbledon in 2015. In February 2009, <mask> played what was then, the longest tennis match in history, lasting 6 hrs 40 mins, eventually losing to Chris Eaton. This was a play-off match to decide the Davis Cup team, but it was not sanctioned by the ATP so was not an official record, and it was broken later.<mask> was part of the Great Britain team that won the Davis Cup in 2015, the nation's first success in the tournament for 79 years. He played in wins against the United States and France in the first round and quarterfinals, which included a crucial singles victory over US' John Isner to give Britain a 2–0 lead. <mask> was also named in the team for the Davis Cup final, and the Davis Cup team won the 2015 BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year Award.

 Eaton on 25 February. Eaton won the match 6–3, 6–2, 6–7, 2–6, 21–19, but it was not sanctioned by the ATP so was not an official record. It was exceeded later by the Isner-Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships. This was the second time that <mask> had played a five set match – the first occasion had been the previous Monday also at the play-offs. In May, he became the first British player to win a challenger title on clay since Tim Henman in 1995. He beat Carsten Ball in the final of the Sarasota Open in Florida, USA.This win propelled him into the top 250 of the ATP's rankings, establishing himself as British No. 2.

In March, <mask> made his Davis Cup debut in the Europe/Africa Zone Group II tie vs Lithuania, in Vilnius, with Dan Evans, Ken Skupski, and Colin Fleming. The Lithuanian side entered the tie as underdogs; fielding a team of teenagers. <mask> beat Lithuanian No.2 Laurynas Grigelis and became the first Briton other than Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski, or Andy Murray to win a live rubber since Andrew Richardson beat Zimbabwe's Byron Black in 1997. Evans lost the second singles match, Fleming and Skupski won their doubles, but <mask> and Evans were both beaten on the final day. This was described as a humiliating Davis Cup defeat for Great Britain and led to the resignation of Davis Cup captain John Lloyd. Britain was then threatened with relegation to the third tier of the competition. Tommy Peric became <mask>'s coach. In June 2010, <mask> reached his first ATP World Tour quarterfinal at the Aegon International, Eastbourne, UK. <mask> beat second seed Feliciano López (who had beaten

<mask> lost at the first hurdle in six of his seven tournaments at the beginning of this year. So when Leon Smith, Britain's Davis Cup captain selected his team for the Euro/Africa Zone Group II tie against Tunisia in March, he sprang a surprise, omitting Alex Bogdanovic, having recalled the 26-year-old to the squad after a three-year absence. Instead, Smith's singles players were <mask> (No. 214) and Jamie Baker (No. 406), who had lost first time out in his last two events. Although Bogdanovic (No. 374) had lost all six of his live Davis Cup rubbers, he had at least won a Futures tournament in the United States that year.<mask> played a key role in Great Britain's 4–1 victory, winning both his live singles rubbers, and ultimately clinching the tie by
