title: Stephanie, Queen of Navarre

text:
Stephanie or Estefania (died after 1066) was the  Queen consort of Navarre by marriage to García Sánchez III of Navarre. Early chroniclers are in conflict over her parentage.

Origins

Parentage
Stephanie was born at an unknown date, and is first recorded as wife of García in a document dated 1038/40. There are two theories concerning Stephanie's parentage. The first is that she was the daughter of Berenguer Ramon I, Count of Barcelona. Another theory is Stephanie was the daughter of Bernard-Roger, Count of Bigorre and his wife Garsenda.

Possible first marriage
There are other hints, besides the dubious account of the Chronicle of Saint-Pierre-le-Vif, to an earlier marriage by Stephanie.  Histoire Générale de Languedoc, giving no quote or source reference, reports the existence of a 1036 marriage contract attributed to Stephanie.  An episode related in the Chronica Naierensis tells that a daughter of queen Stephanie by a prior husband was promised as wife to Sancho II of Castile, but she was abducted and married by an illegitimate son of García.  Jaime de Salazar y Acha suggests that this represents the authentic account of the marriage of García's bastard son, Sancho Garcés, Lord of Uncastillo, to his wife Constanza, though traditional accounts give her different parentage.  He recognizes the problem with identifying the father with Roger I of Tosny and follows an alternative reconstruction that would make the Iberian crusader a distinct Roger de Tosny, nephew of Roger I.

Issue
Stephanie had the following children by García:
Sancho IV "El de Peñalén", king of Navarre, married Placencia
Ramiro (d.1083), lord of Calahorra
Ferdinand Garcés, lord of Bucesta
Raymond Garcés "the Fratricide" (Ramón el Fratricida), lord of Murillo and Cameros
Ermesinda Garcés, married Fortún Sánchez de Yarnoz
Mayor Garcés
Urraca Garcés (d.1108), married Castilian count García Ordóñez
Jimena

She may also have been mother by an earlier marriage, perhaps to Roger Ι of Tosny, of:
Constanza, wife of Sancho Garcés, Lord of Uncastillo

title: Pien tze huang

text:
Pien Tze Huang  (片仔癀; Piànzǎihuáng) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula first documented during the Ming Dynasty and historically used to combat inflammation. In recent years it has been tested on animals for its benefits against various diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral ischemia, carbon-induced liver damage, and cancer.

Side effects have yet to be seen as PZH has not yet been clinically tested. However, it is commonly sold as oral tablets taken daily (for general health) or as a pearl cream (for acne and freckles), and no side effects have been reported.

Current production
The sole manufacturer of Pien Tze Huang is the Zhang Zhou Pien Tze Huang Pharmaceutical Company Limited, China. The prescription and technology have been classified as state secrets, and the medicine has won the National Gold Award and passed the Country-of-Origin Marking certificate. Additionally, it was ranked #1 in the top 5 exported Traditional Chinese medicines in 2014, and top 10 enterprises in the Traditional Chinese medicine industry in 2015.

The Zhang Zhou PZH Pharmaceutical Company markets Pien Tze Huang as "relieving internal heat and deleting toxin, dispelling stasis and easing pain, stopping bleeding and reducing sores. Used for internal, external or mixed hemorrhoids."

Traditional uses
Pien Tze Huang (PZH) was developed in 1555 A.D. by a court doctor to treat cancer, diseases in the liver, and general pain and swelling. According to the Zhang Zhou PZH Pharmaceutical Company, research on the history of Pien Tze Huang has produced the tale of a royal physician who fled the imperial court with the recipe for PZH, using it to cure scores of locals and increasing its renown as an 'almighty medicine'.

Its primary ingredients are musk, ox gallstone, snake gall, and Tienchi. It has been used as a folk remedy for cancer, inflammation, fever, stomach pain, and acne.

Modern research
While there have been in vitro and animals studies, no clinical trials or studies on humans have so far been performed.

Side effects
A case of drug-induced pneumonia caused by Pien Tze Huang has been reported.

With many traditional Chinese herbal medicines the short-term side effects of headache, nausea or mild gastrointestinal symptoms are frequently seen, although there is little data or statistics due to the lack of research and information.

title: American Tap Dance Foundation

text:
The American Tap Dance Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose primary goal is the presentation and teaching of tap dance. Its original stated purpose was to provide an "international home for tap dance, perpetuate tap as a contemporary art form, preserve it through performance and an archival library, provide educational programming, and establish a formal school for tap dance."

History
Originally called the American Tap Dance Orchestra (ATDO), the American Tap Dance Foundation was founded in 1986 by tap dancers Brenda Bufalino, Tony Waag, and Charles "Honi" Coles. Bufalino began working with Coles in 1973 when Bufalino produced the documentary, "Great Feats of Feet: Portraits Of the Jazz Tap Dancer" featuring Coles and The Copasetics.

ATDO's first major engagement was on July 4, 1986, at the Statue of Liberty Festival in Battery Park in lower New York City.  For the next 15 years, American Tap Dance Orchestra toured the U.S. and Europe. In 1989, ATDO appeared on PBS "Great Performances Tap Dance In America with Gregory Hines".

Woodpeckers Tap Dance Center (1989-1995)
On November 10, 1989, the ATDO opened Woodpeckers Tap Dance Center at 170 Mercer Street, near Houston Street in New York City.  Mr. Coles served as Woodpeckers's chairman; Gregory Hines (who claimed that Woodpeckers was "the world's only tap-only center and had "the finest tap floor I've been on") was a member of the board. Woodpeckers began creating, producing, and presenting various educational programs for adults and children. It also initiated an annual winter tap intensive with master classes, courses and workshops taught by leading International artists and master tap dancers.

A review in The New York Times in 1990 said, "The rough-hewn little theater has the air of both a place where hard and serious work is done and a cozy family living room."

The Center closed in 1995 due to limited funding.

1996 through 2010

The Intervening Years
ATDO continued to perform and offer classes and workshops, renting classroom and rehearsal studios at various NYC locations  and presenting new and classic works around the country and the world. Venues included Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater, the Sammy Davis Jr. Festival Plaza in L.A., and Gus Giordano's Jazz Dance Congress 96, (Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center) as well as on live television in Rome, Italy, at the Stadttheater Furth Germany, and at the Rio de Janeiro Tap Festival, Brazil.

A New Name and Focus
Towards the end of 2001, ATDO was renamed the American Tap Dance Foundation (ATDF). The reasons were twofold: first, the new name allowed for a broader focus. The change reflected a new generation of tap dancers and a renewed focus on establishing the first-ever Center for Tap – an international home for dancers, based in New York City. Bufalino stayed on as an artistic mentor and Tony Waag became the Artistic/Executive Director.

The new name also reflected the fact that an organized ensemble no longer existed.

In 2009 the Foundation was awarded an American Masterpiece Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to reconstruct two ATDO pieces, "Buff Loves Basie Blues," and "Haitian Fight Song,". Both have been subsequently performed by ATDF at various venues around the country including Symphony Space and the Joyce Theater in New York City.

A New Home (2010 to the Present)
On January 4, 2010, the ATDF relocated to a 3,000 square foot space in Greenwich Village that includes two large dance studios as well as office space.

Activities

The ATDF presents a variety of year-round educational programs, performances, festivals, classes, and public city-wide events.

Rhythm in Motion
Rhythm in Motion, is an annual showcase for tap choreographers to showcase their work. The showcase includes works by emerging and established tappers and aims to highlight the "rich diversity of contemporary tap dance." In 2015, RIM featured new choreography by MacArthur Fellow, Michelle Dorrance, Brenda Bufalino, Derick K. Grant, Chloe Arnold, and others over a five-day, six-performance program.

title: National Drug Authority

text:
The National Drug Authority (NDA) is a government-owned organisation in Uganda, mandated to regulate drugs in the country, including their manufacture, importation, distribution, and licensing.

Overview
NDA was created by the Ugandan legislature in 1993. It began operations in 1994 as the National Drug Authority (NDA). At that time, the mission of the NDA was to regulate the manufacture, importation, and use of human and veterinary drugs in the country. In 2014, the Ugandan Cabinet approved plans to expand the NDA into the NFDA by adding food, food additives, food supplements, cosmetics, and commercial animal feeds to the items under the organization's supervision. The relevant laws transforming NDA into NFDA are before the Ugandan Parliament for promulgation.

Location
The headquarters of the NDA was located at 46-48 Lumumba Avenue but has moved to Rummee Towers, in Kampala Central Division, on Nakasero Hill, in the central business district of Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda. The coordinates of the head office are 0°19'36.0"N, 32°34'32.0"E (Latitude:0.326667; Longitude:32.575556).

NDA maintains regional offices at the following locations:

The agency works in collaboration with the Uganda Ministry of Health and the Uganda Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries.

History
As far back as 2010, elements of the Uganda government recognized the need to regulate food manufacture, importation, labeling, distribution, and marketing to reduce food and water-borne diseases in the country as well as to ensure food safety. Efforts to assign the regulatory function to the then existing NDA began then.

Governance
The agency is governed by a 17-person member board, which serves for a four-year renewable term. Its members include the following individuals, effective January 2017:

 Medard Bitekyerezo: Chairman
 Brigadier Ambrose Musinguzi
 Raymond Agaba

title: Jan Baptist Morel

text:
Jan Baptist Morel or Jean Baptiste Morel (1662 – 1732) was a Flemish still life painter who specialized in flower pieces and garlands. He was a successful artist who worked in Antwerp and Brussels.

Life
Jan Baptist Morel was born in Antwerp where he was baptized on 26 October 1662. He studied c. 1674 under the Antwerp still life painter Nicolaes van Verendael who specialized in flower pieces and garlands.

He achieved success as a painter in Antwerp. He married Maria Lomboy on 2 February 1689.  The couple had six children.  After his wife died in 1696, he was called to Brussels. There was at the time a significant demand for his work there to decorate buildings that were being reconstructed after the vile Bombardment of Brussels by the French. He became a member of the Brussels Guild of Saint Luke in 1699. He obtained commissions from Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, the governor of the Southern Netherlands, whose palaces in Brussels he decorated.

He returned to Antwerp in 1710 as a wealthy man.  He married a second time with Anne-Marie van Heymissen, who came from an aristocratic family of Brussels.  He had problems with the local Guild of Saint Luke as he refused to join it.  The Guild went so far as to seize works that he had exhibited.  The paintings were sold by the Guild in 1713.

Morel is recorded back to Brussels in 1729 where he had rejoined the local Guild.  He is believed to have died in Brussels in 1732.

Work
Like his master Nicolaes van Verendael, Morel was a still-life painter specialized in flower pieces and garlands.

His 'garland paintings' go back on a genre of flower representation invented in early 17th century Antwerp by Jan Brueghel the Elder.  The genre was subsequently practised by leading Flemish still life painters, such as Daniel Seghers.  Paintings in this genre typically show a flower or, less frequently, fruit garland around a devotional image or portrait.  In the later development of the genre, the devotional image was replaced by other subjects such as portraits, mythological subjects and allegorical scenes.

Garland paintings were usually collaborations between a still life and a figure painter. Sometimes the still life painter would paint the garland and only much later another painter would add the figures or image in the centre.  The centre in some of the garland paintings that have been preserved were never filled by an image. The cartouche in the center of Morel's garland paintings was usually filled with religious imagery and portraits.  The Virgin annunciate in a carved niche with a floral garland and its companion piece Christ as salvator mundi in a carved niche with a floral garland (Auctioned at Sotheby's 29–30 January 2016, New York lot 691) are examples of garland paintings by Morel. These paintings were at an earlier auction by Christie's attributed to Jan Baptist Bosschaert, a contemporary still life painter with whose work Morel's compositions bear a strong similarity. The Mauritshuis in The Hague holds two garland paintings attributed to the artist with respectively a portrait of a man and a woman in the centre.

title: Robert Wilson (architect)

text:
Robert Wilson (9 September 1834 – 1 July 1901) was architect for the Edinburgh Board of Education and responsible for a high percentage of the city's schools. He is also noteworthy for involvement in several institutions aimed at improving the life of the poor and destitute in the city.

Life

He was the son of Patrick Wilson (architect) and Catherine Peddie. His mother died in 1843 when Robert was only eight.

In 1849 he began working with his father at 2 Queen Street. He entered the Trustee's Academy (then on Picardy Place) in October 1850 to improve his drawing skills. He moved to London probably around 1860. In February 1871 his father died and he inherited his office and clients and he returned to Edinburgh. The office remained at 2 Queen Street. Robert then lived at 1 Craigie Terrace.

Following the Elementary Education Act 1870 (coming into force in 1872) he was entrusted with the design of all new city schools.

From 1893 he employed the highly talented John Alexander Carfrae who added yet another dimension to Edinburgh school design. Following Wilson's death in 1901, Carfrae took over this role in its entirety.

He married Isabella Gunn (d.15.8.1911) and they lived together on Blacket Place in Edinburgh. They were Baptists, and Wilson was Vice-President of the Baptist Union of Scotland.

They are buried together in the Grange Cemetery on the southmost line of stones in the western extension.

Principal Works (all in Edinburgh)
His philanthropic works include the design, building and operation of the Free Breakfast Mission on Fishmarket Close, and also close involvement with Carrubbers Close Mission, the Medical Mission on the Cowgate and the operation of the Destitute Sick Society.

After 1893 Wilson seems to have taken a back seat as regards design, and Carfrae effectively takes over long before his official appointment in the role.

title: Cover Boy (EP)

text:
Cover Boy is an extended play (EP) by British singer, songwriter and recording artist Matt Fishel. It was released internationally on 14 July 2014 through Fishel's own record label Young Lust Records. The EP comprises seven cover versions. Cover Boy is Fishel's ninth release and his first collection of cover songs.

Release, style and song choices
In May 2013, in an interview with Italian magazine "Pianeta Gay", Fishel announced that he was working on an EP of cover versions, including songs from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. On 16 June 2014, Fishel released the artwork for the upcoming EP and announced its title Cover Boy and the release date. Cover Boy was released worldwide on 14 July 2014 as a seven-track digital download on all international iTunes, Amazon and Google Play stores.

Musically, Cover Boy incorporates elements of alternative rock, pop, rock, pop rock, rock opera, and a cappella. The EP contains six new recordings, which include: "Summer Rain", originally performed by Belinda Carlisle and taken from her 1989 album Runaway Horses; "Run With Us", the official theme tune to the 1980s/1990s animated television series The Raccoons, originally performed by Lisa Lougheed; "Finally", originally performed by CeCe Peniston in 1991 and later used in the 1993 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert; "Big Casino", originally performed by Jimmy Eat World and taken from their 2007 album Chase This Light; "Sky Fits Heaven", originally performed by Madonna and taken from her 1998 album Ray Of Light; and "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young", written by Jim Steinman for the 1984 film Streets of Fire and originally performed by Fire Inc. Also included on Cover Boy is Fishel's A cappella cover of Björk's song "Hyperballad", taken from her 1995 album Post. Fishel's version is included as the seventh and final track on Cover Boy due to his receiving several requests from fans to release it officially after he posted it on his MySpace page a few years earlier in the mid-2000s.

Music videos

"Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young"

On 22 June 2014, before the release of Cover Boy, Fishel released a teaser video on his YouTube channel for "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young". The video contains a three-minute preview of the seven-minute song, comprising footage of rain, thunder, lightning, fire and angels, and concludes with a topless male torso emerging through flames, accompanied by two interlocking male symbols, commonly recognised as a gay male symbol.

"Finally"

In April 2014, Fishel announced a new video project via his official Facebook page, asking his fans to submit their photographs for an upcoming video. The title and details of the song were not yet revealed, other than that the video would be for one of the songs from his upcoming covers EP. Fishel requested that his fans, regardless of whether they were "gay or straight, transgender, bi, black or white, young or old (or anything in-between)", submit photos of what 'Pride' meant to them, their partners and their friends, with a view to including the submissions in a collaborative music video celebrating international Pride. Fishel asked fans to use his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages to send in their submissions.

On 13 July 2014, the day before Cover Boy'''s release, the results of this video project were revealed when an official music video was published on Fishel's YouTube channel for the EP's lead single "Finally". The video is animated by Kenneth Wilcox and is a fast-paced photo montage video "in celebration of gay pride everywhere". The video displays the song's lyrics on the screen alongside all the submitted fan photos, which include many LGBT couples hugging, kissing, getting married and celebrating Gay pride, as well as heterosexual couples and individual 'selfies'. Fishel maintains the original song's use of male pronouns, giving the song a gay male perspective, and the video opens with the lyrics "Meeting Mr. Right, the man of dreams" displayed on the screen. To accompany the video's release, Fishel posted the following statement underneath the video's credits on his official YouTube channel: "A HUGE heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed photos for this video and helped to make this a very special project and a celebration of international Pride! I had so much fun going through all the fabulous pics which you sent in from all over the world, representing the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Lithuania, Cuba, Thailand and China. Thank you all and I hope you enjoy the results! Mx".

In November 2014, Fishel won the 2014 RightOutTV Music & Video Award for Best Lyric Video, for "Finally".

"Run With Us"

On 10 August 2014, Fishel released a new music video for "Run With Us", the second single from Cover Boy, on his YouTube channel. The video is a compilation of clips and footage taken from the original animated Canadian television series The Raccoons, from which "Run With Us" was the official theme tune. In Fishel's video, the footage is re-edited together in time to the music as an homage to the show, with scenes matching the song's lyrics. The video was created by Fishel with permission from The Raccoons' creator Kevin Gillis, who also co-wrote the song.

Critical reception

Howard Stump of music blog Soundtrack To My Day said of Cover Boy: "Fishel has an amazing grasp of Pop music, serving up delicious treats with each release. So when taking on the treats of some of his favorite artists, my expectations were raised...he not only met them, but exceeded my expectations...'Cover Boy' should not be missed at all. The collection is a thoughtful and tuneful journey, one I keep taking again and again." He called Fishel's rendition of "Hyperballad" "special, and should not be missed" and said of "Finally": "the song feels so new, so fresh. I just love it!" Alex Hawley from Outrising.com said of "Finally": "with a distinctly rockier edge than the original’s club-infused panache, Matt has also maintained the original’s use of male pronouns...which we think is awesome", calling the accompanying music video "the perfect tribute to Pride and Unity". On the day following the release of Cover Boy'', Grammy Award-winning record producer and songwriter Jim Steinman publicly thanked Fishel for covering "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young" on Fishel's Facebook fan page, saying "Thanks so much for covering one of my favourite songs...Cool job. Like all your stuff!"

title: Richard Neville Aldworth Neville

text:
Richard Neville Aldworth Neville (3 September 1717 – 17 July 1793) was an English politician and diplomat.

Life
The only son of Richard Aldworth of Stanlake, by Catherine, daughter of Richard Neville of Billingbear House, he was born on 3 September 1717; through his mother he was descended from Sir Henry Neville. He was educated at Eton College, where he was on good terms with Lord Sandwich, Lord Rochford, Lord Orford, Owen Cambridge, and Jacob Bryant. On 12 July 1736 he matriculated at Merton College, Oxford.

Instead of finishing his course at Oxford Aldworth travelled abroad. In 1739 he visited Geneva, and he spent every winter there till 1744, with other English visitors: John Hervey, 2nd Baron Hervey, William Windham Sr., and Benjamin Stillingfleet. He later contributed to William Coxe's Literary life and Select works of Benjamin Stillingfleet (1811).

At the general election of 1747 Neville became Member of Parliament for . He represented  from 1754 to 1761, and  from 1761 to 1768, and again till 1774. He joined the Whigs, and had the support of the Duke of Bedford. He was appointed under-secretary of state for the southern department on 13 February 1748, under Bedford, and held office till his chief's resignation, 12 July 1751. He was also joint secretary to the council of regency in 1748 and 1750.

Aldworth assumed the name and arms of Neville in August 1762, when, on the death of the Countess of Portsmouth, widow of his maternal uncle Henry Neville Grey, he succeeded to the estate of Billingbear. On 4 September 1762 he became secretary to the embassy at Paris. Bedford was acting as British plenipotentiary at the conference then summoned to consider the terms of peace between England and France in the Seven Years' War. Walpole credited Neville with causing a delay in the signature of the preliminaries, till the capture of Havana had become known. By way of reward, Neville was made paymaster of the band of pensioners. On 15 February he arrived in England with the definitive treaty, which had been signed on the 10th at Paris.

Neville soon returned to Paris to act as plenipotentiary until the arrival of the Earl of Hertford, Bedford's successor, in May 1763. While he was at Compiègne in August, John Wilkes visited him; Louis XVI gave him his picture set with diamonds. After his return England he took no significant part in public affairs. He suffered from gout, and died at Billingbear House, after a lingering illness, on 17 July 1793.

He is buried nearby at Ruscombe with a monument sculpted by John Flaxman.

Family
By his wife Magdalen, daughter of Francis Calandrini, first syndic of Geneva, whom he married in 1748, and who died in 1750, Neville had two children: a daughter Frances, who became the wife of Francis Jalabert, and Richard.

title: Infinity Blade: Redemption

text:
Infinity Blade: Redemption is a novella by fantasy author Brandon Sanderson. It is based on the action role-playing iOS video game series Infinity Blade developed by Chair Entertainment and Epic Games, and serves as a story bridge between the second game and the third. It was released as an e-book on September 8, 2013.

Plot summary

Unlike the predecessor book, Infinity Blade: Awakening, Redemption presents two stories side-by-side. In the chapters are found the "contemporary" story of the characters from the games, starting with protagonist Siris and his enemy Raidriar locked in the Vault of Tears, as they were left at the end of Infinity Blade II. The story progresses through their rescue and subsequent discovery of what the Worker of Secrets has done during their imprisonment. Interspersed between the chapters are "Deviations," which are flashbacks to a time that appears to be the near future of present-day Earth, and the origins of the technology that created the Deathless, and of Galath, the Worker himself. The two streams eventually come together near the end of the book.

The Pangean Chapters
Siris and Raidriar, having been locked away by the Worker of Secrets at the end of Infinity Blade II, are shown continually at odds with each other, maiming and killing each other as each one's Deathless body regenerates on its own. Their souls sealed in by the prison, neither of them can escape to a rebirthing chamber. After an initially unknown period of time, Isa appears, having brought two other defeated Deathless to open the prison and take Siris' place, as required by the prison. Raidriar escapes with the duo, wishing to return to his kingdom. He finds that his kingdom is in ruins, and that he is considered a fake, as the Worker has created a "Soulless" version of the God King. The Soulless can use the cloned bodies, or "buds," that the Deathless can use for rebirth, but the Soulless use fragmented pieces of the original's identity, known in-story as the Quantum Identity Pattern, or Q.I.P. Raidriar escapes with a few who remain loyal to him, and journeys to meet up with Siris.

Siris, meanwhile, has been introduced to a rag-tag army gathered by Isa during what he discovers was his two-year imprisonment. Lux, an older woman with battle knowledge, has tried to turn the group into a band of fighters, but they have no leader. Isa has told exaggerated stories of "the Deathless that fought for man," who is Siris. As Siris gets to know the group, including playing children's games that he himself was denied during his own childhood, he feels the memories of his "Dark Self" — fragmented memories and habits of his time as Ausar the Vile — attempting to surface, tempting Siris to return to them in order to be the leader the people desire.

Raidriar meets up with the band, causing great tension between himself and Siris, but the former God King realizes that the enemies need to work together to correct the situation. He guides the group to a hidden lab containing what appears to be a self-maintaining rebirthing chamber. Raidriar later admits that it is not only a rebirthing chamber, but a machine that can turn an ordinary human into a Deathless. As his Soulless counterpart has severed ties with the other Deathless of the Pantheon, Raidriar realizes that they might need another Deathless on their team. He tempts Isa, who has become attracted to Siris, into entering the chamber, becoming a new Deathless.

As this happens, Siris approaches the tower seen in the first game to face the Soulless Raidriar. Expecting to find a foe as worthy as the real one, he instead finds the Soulless copy knows he is indeed a copy, and has gone quite insane. After a short but decisive battle, Siris uses the datapads still functioning in the temple to discover the Worker's master plan: the destruction of all organic life on the planet by fire-bombing the world from the broken moon.

The Origin Deviations
The modern-day interludes, or "deviations," focus on a data analyst named Uriel. Always working late, he prefers numbers to people. Numbers, he believes, are consistent and never lie. They are more easily understood than people like Adram, a marketing professional who always encourages Uriel to put a positive spin on things. The numbers, though, show that the project involving teleportation of non-living matter simply will not produce the results the CEO, Mr. Galath, desires.

Uriel discovers that several people have been moved off of the project. He can see the numbers, but not their intent. Eventually Uriel realizes there is another project, a very secretive project with only a few chosen to participate. Working late, as he always does, he works up his best presentation for the next meeting, sure that he will be chosen next. Although his presentation impresses Mr. Galath, it is Adram that is chosen to be reassigned next.

Uriel normally works very late, and his wife is always understanding. This one evening, though, he decides to go home at the same time as everyone else. He drives a modern car that drives itself to the owner's selected destination. The car usually stops in his driveway, but this time it stops at the curb. Rain pouring down, he notices Adram's car, a "classic" and therefore unmodified to drive itself, in the driveway. Uriel realizes why his wife has never had a problem with him staying late: she has been having an affair with Adram.

Emotionless, Uriel enters the house, catching his wife and Adram "in the act." He makes no hostile moves or words toward either of them, though Adram hurries away. Uriel then realizes that their son, Jori, had not been picked up from school by his wife, as he had assumed, but was riding home in the rain. Uriel rushes out of the house to find Adram in a frenzy, his wheels on the curb, a bicycle under his car.

Seeing Jori's dead body causes Uriel's control to break. He grabs a wrench from the front seat of Adram's car and kills the man. Uriel then realizes that the mysterious project, which would bring immortality to its participants, was the solution. He returns to work to meet Mr. Galath, informing him that he has an opening in his new project. He reveals what he knows about the project, which involves harnessing the soul of a person through the Quantum Identity Pattern. Uriel asks that Mr. Galath consider not himself, but his son, for the project. Galath agrees on the condition that Uriel never return to the project's site.

Laying Jori's body on the table, Uriel witnesses his rebirth as one of the immortals, or Deathless. He tells his son to "be a king," then leaves, with Jori calling out to him through the final paragraph of the last deviation.

The finale and bridge to the third game
The final chapters expand upon the early portions of Infinity Blade III. Raidriar, revealed to be the grown-up Jori, confronts the Worker of Secrets, or Galath. In the novella narrative, both call each other by their original names. Jori/Raidriar is determined to stop the destruction being planned by Galath/the Worker. After fighting toward the Worker, Raidriar faces Ashimar, once his friend Jarred. Raidriar is surprised to discover that his former friend wields another Infinity Blade. Raidriar defeats him with his Infinity Blade, and confronts the Worker.

The Worker reveals that he did not create a weapon that could kill him, but allows Raidriar to battle him. Raidriar is defeated, and about to be killed, when he teleports a module from a nearby table to Siris and Isa. Galath responds by impaling Raidriar with his newer Infinity Blade, disrupting his Q.I.P. and ending his Deathless life forever.

title: André Charles Biéler

text:
André Charles Biéler  (8 October 1896 – 1 December 1989) was a Swiss-born Canadian painter and teacher. His work was modernist, at first with strong emphasis on line, later with more interest in light and colour. He is known for his genre pictures of life in rural Quebec. He was the first president of the Federation of Canadian Artists (1942–1944), and was instrumental in the foundation of the Canada Council and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario.

Early years

André Charles Biéler was born in Lausanne, Switzerland on 8 October 1896.
His father, Charles Biéler, was director of the Collège Galliard.
His mother Blanche was the daughter of the historian Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigné (1794–1872).
His family moved to Paris for twelve years, then immigrated to Canada in 1908.
Biéler's father took a position as a teacher at the Presbyterian College, Montreal.
Biéler studied at Westmount Academy and then the Institut Technique de Montreal.
He intended to study architecture.
During World War I (1914–18) Biéler joined the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in 1915.
He was wounded and seriously gassed.

Artistic training and development

After being released from the army Biéler studied at the Lycée Carnot in Paris.
In 1919 he returned to Canada, then went to Florida to recuperate, where Harry Davis Fluhart (1861–1938) gave him art lessons.
He received a veteran's grant that allowed him to study under Charles Rosen (1878–1950) and Eugene Speicher (1883–1962) at the Art Students League of New York in Woodstock, New York.
He returned to Montreal, where he became acquainted with members of the Beaver Hall Group.

From 1922 to 1926 Biéler spent most of his time in Switzerland, studying under his uncle Ernest Biéler, a painter and muralist.
He helped his uncle with several frescoes in the town hall of Le Locle in the Canton of Neuchâtel.
He also spent some time in Paris, France, and studied at the Académie Ranson with Maurice Denis (1870–1943) and Paul Sérusier (1864–1927).
In 1924 Biéler had his first solo exhibition, at the Montreal Art Association.
He lived on the Île d'Orléans in Quebec from 1927 to 1929, where he painted the habitants.
He met A. Y. Jackson (1882–1974) at this time.

In 1930 Biéler set up a studio in Montreal, earning a living by undertaking commercial commissions and by teaching.
He and John Goodwin Lyman founded the Atelier art school, which only lasted for a short period.
Biéler and Edwin Holgate led the "Oxford Group" in Montreal, which met in a below-ground room at the Oxford tavern at lunchtime. The group had roughly equal numbers of francophone and anglophone members. Other members were Albert Edward Cloutier, Adrien Hébert, the art critic Jean Chauvin and the editor Carrier.

Biéler worked with Jeannette Meunier, a young interior decorator and designer.
Through her he became involved in design of theater sets and costumes, furniture, interiors, fabrics and posters.
He promoted interior decoration using the homespun textiles made by spinners and weavers from the lower St. Lawrence region.
In 1931 Biéler and Jeannette Meunier married.
Biéler often visited the Laurentian Mountains on painting expeditions.
In 1935 the Biélers moved to Saint-Adèle, a quiet town in the Laurentians.
Biéler made some of the illustrations for Kingdom of the Saguenay (1936) by Marius Barbeau.

Professor

In 1936 Biéler became a professor of art at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.
Biéler organized the first conference of Canadian artists in 1941.
This led to the foundation of the Federation of Canadian Artists, of which Biéler was the first president.
Biéler taught at the Banff School of Fine Arts in the summers of 1940, 1947, 1949 and 1952.
In 1953-54 he took a one-year sabbatical from Queen's to study and paint in Europe.

Biéler provided impetus that led to the formation of the Canada Council in 1957.
He was also the main organizer of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston in 1957, and was its first director.
He returned to Europe to travel and paint in the summer of 1959.
Biéler retired from Queens University in 1963.
With more freedom to travel, he visited Mexico in 1964, 1966, and 1972.

Biéler belonged to the Canadian Group of Painters and the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
He developed a pneumatic relief printing press, and formed a company that ran the press.
In 1957 he received the J. W. L. Forster Award from the Ontario Society of Artists.
He was awarded the Canadian Centennial Medal and an honorary doctorate, and in 1987 was made a member of the Order of Canada.
André Charles Biéler died in Kingston, Ontario on 1 December 1989.
He was survived by his wife Jeannette and four children.
His son, Ted Biéler, became a well-known sculptor.

Work

Style
Biéler's style was closer to that of contemporary French painters, in particular to the "School of Paris," then to Canadian movements.
His early work shows the influence of his uncle Ernest, with the close attention to line and form essential for stained glass and mosaic work.
His later paintings, prints, sculptures and murals treat traditional subjects in a modernist style. He made lively genre pictures of life in rural Quebec, showing figures working in groups or gathering around churches, in harmony with the landscape.
He has said,

In his later years Biéler reinterpreted many of his earlier sketches in terms of light and colour.
Nancy Baele wrote in 1982 of his work,

Selected works

Biéler's major works include:
Large mural, 19 by 16 feet, for the Shipshaw plant of the Aluminum Company of Canada, depicting hydro electric power and the aluminum industry in the Quebec region of Lac Saint Jean and the Saguenay River (1945–48)
Large painting for Canadian Pulp and Paper Association (1948)
Mural for Veterans' Affairs Building, Ottawa (1955)

Mosaic mural for the Frontenac Wall & Tile, Kingston (1958)
Mural for Procter & Gamble, Dorval (1958)
Plaster & aluminum relief mural for Aluminum Laboratories, Kingston (1968).

Exhibitions
Biéler held more than twenty five solo exhibitions in locations that included Geneva, Montreal, Kingston, Quebec City, Edmonton, Calgary, Banff, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Toronto, and San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. Major retrospective exhibitions were held at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston in 1963, showing 115 works, and in 1970. The 1970 retrospective titled André Biéler, 50 years: a retrospective exhibition 1920-1970 traveled to ten galleries in Canada.

title: Apache Fury

text:
Apache Fury ( meaning "man of the stage", ) is a 1964 Italian-Spanish Spaghetti Western directed and co-written by José María Elorrieta. It was based on a novel by Eduardo Guzman.

Plot
At an isolated coaching station in the Arizona desert, Steve Loman is approached by some outlaw friends.  They tell him that a stagecoach containing the corrupt Judge Driscoll, his bride to be Ruth, her young brother Jimmy and a card sharp are heading for the station with a large amount of money.  As the Apaches led by Geronimo are on the warpath, it would be too easy for Loman to revenge himself on Driscoll who sent Loman to prison on a false charge that also ruined his army career and split the money with the outlaws and travel to Mexico. Loman refuses.

As the stagecoach arrives it is attacked by an Apache war party and shelters inside the station.  Adding to their troubles, the young Jimmy mistakes approaching non-hostile Pima Indians for Apache killing one that sets the Pima against the whites unless they surrender Jimmy.

title: Édouard Tétreau

text:
Édouard Tétreau (born 8 May 1970) is a French public intellectual known as an essayist, columnist, and political and economic consultant. He founded his advisory firm Mediafin in 2004, which he brought to Edelman in December 2022, to run their Global Families advisory services.

Education and career
Tétreau was born in Soissons, France, and attended the Jesuit school Lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague in Paris. He graduated from HEC Paris in 1992 with a degree in entrepreneurship. He has worked for international organizations such as the European Council on Foreign Relations, AXA Private Equity in New York City, and Schroders in London.

In 2004, he founded Mediafin, a strategic consulting firm through which he advised a number of European industrial families, financial institutions and CEOs of European Fortune 500 companies.

A weekly columnist for French newspapers Le Figaro et Les Échos, he writes on matters concerning politics, digital challenges, and finance, from a pro-European perspective. He is a regular television commentator and radio contributor on macroeconomic and policy issues.

Tétreau served as a trustee of the Committee for Economic Development (CED), a public policy organization based in Washington, D.C. He is also a member of the Advisory Board of La Maison Française at Columbia University and an affiliate professor at HEC Paris, where he taught a course titled "Managing in times of financial crises."

In the early days of 2016, he helped launch Emmanuel Macron’s presidential bid, both in terms of network and fund-raising.  While continuing his advisory work for European CEOs and family offices, he informally advised the French presidency, on a number of issues ranging from the relationships with the French Catholic Church and the Vatican, to the post-covid strategy (“plan de relance”).

In September 2021, he launched a non-profit association, Les Ponts Neufs, which groups together every two months 200 French artists, CEOs, civil servants, military officers, diplomats, and people “on the frontlines”: farmers, trade unionists, heads of NGOs, charities, etc.

In December 2022, he sold his consultancy Mediafin to Edelman, as Vice Président for France and Chairman of the Global Families Practice.

Writing
Tétreau has frequently called for the creation of the "United States of Europe" in his articles in Le Monde and Le Figaro and Les Échos, and in his public interventions with the French Parliament, in China, and in New York City.

In his book Analyste, published in 2005, Tétreau discusses the excesses and short-termism of the financial system during the internet bubble. Tétreau then published his second book 20 000 milliards de dollars upon his return to France in the fall of 2010, after having spent three years in[New York City. The book discusses the national debt of the United States following the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis and the country's transition from the Bush to the Obama administration. It was later translated to Chinese and published by China Citic Press.

Tétreau is also the author of Quand le dollar nous tue, published by Grasset in 2011.

His book, Au-delà du mur de l’argent, was published on 9 September 2015 by French publisher Stock. It follows an Autumn 2014 briefing paper for the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture, calling for an intervention of Pope Francis in New York in September 2015, during the Pope's scheduled visit to the U.S. The book warns of the risks of a major and imminent "accident" in the global economy. It offers concrete answers for an alternative economic model based upon "Pope Francis economics" and various teachings from other religions, which, like many secular philosophies, give priority to the poorest and most fragile elements of our societies.

His last essay, Les Etats Généraux, was published with Les Editions de l’Observatoire in 2020. Tétreau calls for a gathering of a 21st century version of an Estates General, as he considers that the fabric of France’s social contract has been torn apart and needs to be reinvented. Upon his reelection in 2022, President Macron used the expression and the symbol of the project, with hisplea for a Conseil National de la Refondation, but not its substance.

Since President Macron’s 2017 election, Tétreau has written more than 100 op-eds in France’s major newspapers Les Echos and Le Figaro, but not Le Monde, as he had served on its board for three years (2018-2021).

Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he has been strongly advocating a full alignment of the traditional allied powers (France, Great Britain, the United States) against a potential “axis” between Iran, Russia and China notably. He notably called for a new “Charter of the Atlantic”.

Recognition
On 16 March 2000, as a financial analyst for Crédit Lyonnais, Tétreau published an analysis of an imminent internet crash titled "Take your e-profits before a potential e-crash." In Mercury Rising, he predicted the danger of bankruptcy for Vivendi Universal, leading to the departure of Vivendi head Jean-Marie Messier.

In 2005, Tétreau received the Sénat Reader Prize for an Economics Book for his book Analyste: au cœur de la folie financière.

On 10 May 2006, Tétreau spoke before the French Senate’s Commission on Finances, underlining the need for the French economy and society to prepare itself for an inevitable, brutal end to the period of financial excess and overabundance.

In China, where Tétreau's 20 000 Milliards de Dollars book was published in 2012, he became a 2013 Young Leader of the France China Foundation Programme.

Personal life
Tétreau is married with three children, and resides in Paris.

In 2011, protests against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad turned into a violent conflict between the Syrian government and revolutionaries. As the revolution continues, wealthy Syrian socialite-turned-activist Razan teams up with Syrian-American lobbyist Mouaz to forge a link between the Free Syrian Army, the Syrian Emergency Task Force, and the West. However, their goal of a free and democratic Syria is put under strain as the revolution in Syria turns from bad to worse, and Western governments prove reluctant to get involved, despite the growing humanitarian crisis.

Release
Red Lines debuted in Toronto, Canada at the Hot Docs film festival in April 2014, where it was named in the festival's Top 20 Audience Picks. The film was later acquired by distribution company FilmBuff and released through Video On Demand in July 2014. The film broadcast on Free Speech TV. The original soundtrack was released through CD Baby.

Reception
Following its premiere at Hot Docs 2014, Bob Turnball of "Eternal Sunshine of the Logical Mind" deemed Red Lines as "an early candidate for the most moving film of the festival." Red Lines was also acclaimed to be "one of the most inspiring films this year" by Myrocia Watamaniuk, International Programmer for Hot Docs. Sam Cooper of Pretty Clever Films noted that Red Lines was, "easily…one of the most important films at this year's Hot Docs." We Got This Covered describes the film as "eye opening" and "will have you on the edge of your seat." Red Lines was the winner of Best Documentary Feature at Woodstock Film Festival in 2014, which was also the films United States premiere. Red Lines also received the Gold TIVA-DC Award, a Gold Pixie Award for the animated closing credits, the Tiburon International Film Festival Humanitarian Award, three IndieFEST awards including the Humanitarian Award  and the Award of Excellence, the Global Film Humanitarian Award, and most recently the Ramdam Film Festival Most Disturbing Film Award.
