title: Shawn Christensen

text:
Shawn Christensen is an American musician, filmmaker, podcaster and artist. He is a graduate of Pratt Institute, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration and graphic design. Christensen was the frontman of the indie rock band Stellastarr. In 2013, he won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for his short film Curfew.

Early life
Shawn Christensen was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. Christensen's father was an engineer and his mother was a librarian, with him being their only child. He enrolled at Pratt Institute, where he pursued a degree in graphic design and illustration. During weekend acting classes, he befriended sixteen-year-old Paul Wesley. Christensen was the lead vocalist and lead guitar in a college band called Ghistor, composed of himself, bassist Amanda Tannen and drummer Arthur Kremer. After Christensen graduated from Pratt with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, they disbanded. He produced and sold abstract-realistic paintings generally themed around prominent rock music figures.

Career

Stellastarr
Alongside Tannen, Kremer and the new addition of Michael Jurin - who took up the lead guitar position - Christensen formed the indie rock band Stellastarr, (stylized as "stellastarr*), in March 2000. In July, the band had their debut performance with Christensen's original compositions at Luna Lounge on Manhattan's Lower East Side. In May 2003, Stellastarr signed with RCA Records, allowing for them to focus on their musical careers. Under the RCA label, Stellastarr released an eponymous album in September 2003, featuring the standout singles "Jenny" and "My Coco".

Stellastarr released Harmonies for the Haunted, their second album under RCA, on September 13, 2005. Christensen's progression as a singer was praised, with his tone being noted for having matured and become more consistent beyond his shifting between falsetto and baritone vocal registers. Stellastarr released their final album, Civilized, through their personal imprint label Bloated Wife Records, in July 2009. Christensen was complimnented for his range being able to deliver deep bellows and high falsettos. Following the release of Civilized, Stellastarr unofficially went on hiatus.

Filmmaking
While Stellastarr was on the Hot Fuss Tour alongside the Killers in 2004, Christensen collaborated with Jason Dolan on a feature-length spec script for a drama called Sidney Hall - he shared it with Paul Wesley, who presented it to William Morris Endeavor, resulting in the signing of both screenwriters. Christensen and Dolan further collaborated on other spec scripts during the mid-2000s, including a psychological thriller called Enter Nowhere. Christensen independently penned an Alfred Hitchcock-inspired thriller, Abduction, and a science-fiction drama, The Karma Coalition. The screenplays for Sidney Hall and The Karma Coalition were sold in 2008, to Scott Free Productions and Warner Bros., respectively.

After a week-long bidding war in February 2010, Lionsgate Films acquired the screenplay for Abduction, with actor Taylor Lautner attached. Jeffrey Nachmanoff rewrote the screenplay and the film began production the following July. In 2011, Jack Heller directed Enter Nowhere, with Christensen & Dolan credited as executive producers. It was acquired by Lionsgate for a direct-to-DVD release, prior to its October premiere at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival.

Disillusioned from studios retrofitting his screenplays, Christensen rebooted his filmmaking career, to focus on directing. He wrote a screenplay in 2011 for a short film for him to direct and co-star in called Curfew. Two days prior to shooting a dance scene, negotiations with the artists behind the accompanying song song failed, leading to the filming of cast members dancing to the original song, while Christensen composed a single, "Sophia So Far", to replace it. For two weeks, editor Evan Henke edited Curfew, before Christensen took over and edited the film on his MacBook Pro in his living room for the rest of 2011. Curfew premiered at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in January 2012, to critical acclaim, numerous festival screenings and awards for Christensen's acting, directing and writing. At the 85th Academy Awards, Curfew won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

Prior to Curfew success, Paul Wesley took an interest in the short film and together with Christensen and his producing partner, Damon Russell, collaborated to develop a feature-length adaptation. The film, titled Before I Disappear, premiered at South by Southwest on March 10, 2014, and won the audience award for Best Narrative Feature. Before I Disappear went on to have a successful festival run, with distinctions including an official selection at the 71st Venice International Film Festival. IFC Films was announced to have acquired the North American distribution rights for Before I Disappear in August 2014 and the film was released on video on demand, concurrent with a limited theatrical release the following November.

Per the Writers Guild of America, East Separated Rights, the rights to Sidney Hall reverted to Christensen in 2014, after five years of no development. Christensen opted to independently produce it through Jonathan Schwartz's Super Crispy Entertainment banner, as well as his own Fuzzy Logic Pictures banner. The film premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, in Park City, Utah. Sidney Hall was acquired for distribution by A24 and DirecTV in April 2017, with DirecTV providing an exclusive pre-release prior to its theatrical release. The film, re-titled "The Vanishing of Sidney Hall", was released in theaters on March 2, 2018.

Podcasting
Christensen expanded his direction efforts to fiction podcasts with Blackout, the first series produced by QCode that was released in March 2019, starring Rami Malek. The first season directed by Christensen was popular, having been downloaded over twelve million times by the time its second season was ordered. Christensen directed the narrative thriller Hunted, the first podcast produced by Wolf Entertainment's Endeavor Audio division, starring Parker Posey, released in November 2019. Alongside Gabriel Mason, Christensen founded an entertainment label called Criminal Content in 2020. Christensen directed, executive produced and acted in the company's debut podcast, American Hostage, an eight-part dramatization of the 1977 Indianapolis hostage crisis perpetrated by Tony Kiritsis. Starring Jon Hamm, American Hostage was released in February 2022. Criminal Content's sophomore historical-fiction series about the Fox sisters and starring Carey Mulligan, The Foxes of Hydesville, was announced in April 2023, with a spring release date.

title: Cochi e Renato

text:
Renato Pozzetto and Cochi Ponzoni are an Italian musical and comedy duo who works as Cochi e Renato.

Life and career
Ponzoni and Pozzetto were childhood friends, and they grew accustomed to perform together in front of an audience of friends and relatives. Their professional debut took place in 1965 in the small cabaret club Cab 64 in Milan, where they performed along with Lino Toffolo and Bruno Lauzi. They were also joined by Enzo Jannacci and Felice Andreasi with whom they formed the comedy ensemble Motore, who had a good success in Milan. The couple became first known in the late 1960s thanks to the RAI innovative variety shows Quelli della domenica (1968) and È domenica, ma senza impegno (1969). Characterized by a peculiar comic verve, filled with paradoxical and surreal moods, their popularity increased in the early 1970s with the variety show Il poeta e il contadino and with the participation with the musical show Canzonissima. The couple began to crack in 1974, when Pozzetto started devoting himself to a full-time film career. After a long separation, Ponzoni and Pozzetto reunited in 2000s for a series of television and stage projects.

Cochi e Renato were also very active as singer-songwriters (often with the collaboration of Enzo Jannacci), and they had several commercial hits; their most successful song is "E la vita la vita", which reached the first place at the Italian charts in 1974.

title: Chime Tenpai Nyima

text:
Jetsunma Chime Tenpai Nyima (born 1756) was a Tibetan Buddhist master, the only female master of the Sakya Vajrayoginī lineage. She is also considered a great siddha and an emanation of Vajrayoginī. She was born in Tibet and originally had the name Chime Butri. She was part of the prominent Sakya Khon family, which established itself by the 11th century in Sakya, Tibet. She studied with her uncle Kunga Lodro, who had had a vision prophesying, among other things, that she would be one of the closest disciples who would carry on his teachings. He transmitted to her the core Sakya Lamdre and the Vajrayogini teachings, among others. In 1782, she took novice vows from the twenty-fifth abbot of the Sakya Lhakhang Chenmo, Jampa Chokyi Tashi, who gave her the ordination name by which she has come to be known, Chime Tenpai Nyima.

When Kunga Lodro died in 1783, she recited the Vajrayoginī prayers and accompanying offerings for his funeral rites.

Her main disciple was Derge Drubpon Ngawang Rinchen. According to tradition, she gave him the Vajrayoginī teachings late in her life, when she could no longer see well, but her vision improved as she gave the teachings, and she told him, “Seeing a Lama like you in Tibet restored my eyesight.”  Again according to tradition, when she gave him the Vajrayoginī blessing, during the inner blessing ritual the ambrosia in the cup started to boil spontaneously, and as he drank it, his understanding of emptiness expanded.

She was also the teacher of four Sakya Tridzin (the heads of the tradition), as well as their brothers and children, abbots of Ngor Monastery, and many other tulkus and important teachers in the Sakya tradition.  She was one of few women who had the authority to teach both Lamdre Tsokshe and Lobshe.

It is unknown exactly when she died, but it is known she lived a long life, and she was called Rikmo Dung, or Old Noble Woman of the Rigdzin Palace. After she died, a memorial statue of Vajrayoginī with a silver crown and ornaments inlaid with precious gems was made to contain her relics, which was installed in the Lhakhang Chenmo at Sakya.

title: Battle of Egan Station

text:
The Battle of Egan Station (also known as Egan Canyon Station or Egan Canyon) was a minor skirmish which occurred near Schellbourne, Nevada in August 1860. A group of about 80 Paiute warriors attacked a Pony Express station in Egan Canyon looking for food.  When the two civilians had gathered up all the food on hand the warrior's chief demanded they bake more bread.  Meanwhile, an approaching Pony Express rider turned around and rode back to a military column he passed along the trail. The soldiers were members of the 4th U.S. Artillery under Lt. Stephen H. Weed. As Weed rushed to Egan Station just as the warriors were preparing to burn the two station workers alive. In the ensuing fight, Weed's men freed the captives and ran off the Native warriors inflicting 3 killed and roughly 12 wounded. Weed's losses were 2 wounded and 1 died of wounds.

The San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin, on August 21, 1860, report on the incident:
 ...[they demanded] some powder and lead of the men in charge of the station, which they refused to let them have as a matter of course. They then wanted some provisions, and the men gave them two sacks of flour, and some sugar and coffee. One of the men then started out after the animals kept at that place, when the Indians told him that he could not go, and that they would take care of the animals themselves, and commenced singing and hallooing at a great rate. At that instant Lieutenant Weed, with twenty-five soldiers, came up and attacked the Indians, who returned the fire, wounding three men ... The Indians fled without driving off any of the stock. About the same time, six or eight Indians went to where some men were mowing, near Deep Creek, and ordered them away, but went off without molesting them further. They came back next morning, when four soldiers, who had secreted themselves in a wagon, fired on them, wounding two mortally. The others fled.

title: Rob Moerschell

text:
Robert Marvin Moerschell (born November 18, 1962) is a former American football player. He started as quarterback for the Texas Longhorns for most of the 1983 season, the last undefeated regular season for Texas in the 20th century. In 1984, he moved to tailback and punt returner when Todd Dodge took over as quarterback. He also returned punts and kickoffs in 1981 and 1982. Moerschell is the last Texas quarterback to go undefeated as a starter over his entire career and one of the school's top ten punt returners of all time.

Early life

As a high school football player Rob Moerschell started out backing up future SMU star Lance McIlhenry, whom he would later start against and beat at Texas. In 1981, Moerschell led Highland Park High School into the playoffs after a perfect regular season with his only loss as starting quarterback at either the high school or college level coming in the high school state semifinals. After the season, he led the Texas team of high school all-stars to victory in the 1981 Oil Bowl game against Oklahoma, earning the game's MVP honors. He was all-district and the offensive player of the year at the district, greater Dallas and North Texas levels. He was also an all-district baseball player. Despite his success, he was only recruited by a couple of major schools due to concern about his lack of height.

College career

Moerschell started his career at Texas as a backup quarterback but, because he was a good runner, he saw special teams playing time in both his freshman and sophomore seasons as a punt return and kickoff return specialist. He was the team's leading punt returner both seasons and had a career long 30 yard kickoff return in the 1982 game against Utah. He struggled to make it as a quarterback because he wasn't as strong a passer as other quarterbacks on the roster.

In 1983, he was set to be the backup quarterback again, but starter Todd Dodge suffered a shoulder injury in scrimmage shortly before the season opener, giving Moerschell the start against Auburn. He split time with former starting quarterback Rick McIvor, but Moerschell shone, proving he could run the option and throw the ball, and would spend the rest of the season trading the starting job with Dodge and McIvor. Moerschell started the next 6 games. He led Texas to a come-from-behind win over North Texas and an impressive victory over #7 Oklahoma, however poor performances against #8 SMU and Texas Tech, in which Dodge came in off the bench to win the game, gave the team back to Dodge. Moerschell regained the starting position three games later, after Dodge struggled against Houston and TCU. Moerschell started the next two games against Baylor and Texas A&M, but in the second game, after Texas fell behind 13-0, he was replaced by Rick McIvor who led the team to score 45 unanswered points and gained the starting position, even though Moerschell provided key support in that game. McIvor quarterbacked the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl that year, when a win would have likely secured them a National Championship, but a muffed punt return gave Georgia the opportunity it needed to score the game-winning touchdown. In that game, Moerschell came in on a few plays to run the option.

In his senior year, Moerschell was featured on the cover of Athlon's 1984 Annual Southwest Football preview, however he would not play much that season. Injuries at tailback and the emergence of Dodge as the starter, led to Moerschell being moved to tailback - a position he had played as a high school freshman - weeks before the season opener. He also was the team's punt returner. Later in the season, Coach Fred Akers did consider moving him back to quarterback when Dodge was injured in the Rice game. In the tie against #3 Oklahoma he played a key role, controlling a high snap on the last play of the game and made the placement for Ward's game-saving kick. He played in every game, but had fewer touches at the end of the season.

Moerschell finished his college career with a perfect 9-0 record as starting quarterback, the last Texas quarterback with a perfect career record.  He also graduated as one of the top career punt returners in Texas history.

Personal life

Moerschell introduced his sister Laura to former Longhorn quarterback Robert Brewer whom Moerschell had backed up in 1982, and the two were later married. He is the uncle of Virginia Tech quarterback Michael Brewer and Liberty quarterback Charlie Brewer. After college Moerschell became a brain surgeon. Moerschell has two beautiful daughters, and a wife.

title: Upper Town (Thessaloniki)

text:
Thessaloniki's Upper Town called Ano Poli (, ) is the old town of Thessaloniki and is located around the city's acropolis north of the city center. The neighborhood is known for its well preserved Byzantine and Ottoman era structures and urban design and as a center for Thessaloniki's poets, intellectuals, and bohemians.

Ano Poli is one of the most traditional areas in Thessaloniki. The area preserves much of the Byzantine and Ottoman era city design which was largely destroyed elsewhere in the city in the Great Fire of 1917. It is known for its small stone-paved streets, old squares, and houses in traditional Greek and Ottoman architecture. Ano Poli is the highest part of the city and is dominated by the city's acropolis, a Byzantine and Ottoman era fort known as the Eptapyrgio. What remains of the old city walls still surround Ano Poli and many Ottoman and Byzantine structures such as the church of Profitis Elias, the Church of Saint Nicholas Orphanos, the Taxiarches church, the Byzantine bath, the Church of Saint Catherine, the Vlatades Monastery, the Atatürk Museum, and the Alaca Imaret Mosque still stand in the neighborhood. Other landmarks include the buildings of Karipio Melathro and Villa Varvara.

During the Ottoman period Ano Poli was the main district for the Turks (Muslims) of the city while Greeks, western Europeans, and Jews lived below around the port.

On clear days Mount Olympus, about  away across the gulf, can also be seen towering the horizon.

title: Wolfgang Kauer

text:
Wolfgang Kauer (born 20 February 1957) is an Austrian author who lives in Salzburg. He writes novels, short stories, audio plays, and poems in German.

Life
Wolfgang Kauer was born in Linz, where he attended Adalbert-Stifter-Gymnasium until his graduation in 1975. He did his undergraduate studies in German Philology, Geography, and Arts at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz and the Mozarteum in Salzburg.

In 1999, after working as a free-licensed journalist and teacher in Linz, Kauer moved to Salzburg. He teaches at a grammar school there, the Humanistisches Gymnasium. Kauer is also a Professor of German Literature and Philology at the Linz Private Art University and works as a freelance writer. He writes lyric poetry, prose, short stories, novels, and audio plays.

In 2010, as part of an annual writers' competition held by the Salzburger Autorengruppe, Julian Schutting, a world-famous Viennese author, recognized Kauer as the best author in Salzburg. Schutting especially accentuated Kauer's research concerning contemporary history. Kauer was also given other prizes by the authors Sabine Gruber of Meran, Italy and Bettina Balàka of Vienna. The linguist Dr. Eberhard Riedel, of Klagenfurt University, compares Kauer's style to the literature of the renowned German author Jean Paul Richter. Professor Dr. Karl Müller of the Institute of German Philology at Salzburg University, associates music with the author's poetry, while Professor Dr. Erwin Streitfeld of the Institute of German Philology at Graz University, prefers landscapes in Kauer's prose. Dr. Brita Steinwendtner, former leader of a famous literature competition held in Rausis, appreciates the historical dimension in Kauer's texts. Wolfgang Kauer received the Salzburg Scholarship of Literature in 2013.

Kauer shows special interest in archeology, especially in the ancient Celtic beak flagon of Salzburg, the Dürrnberger Schnabelkanne, which can be seen in the Celtic Museum of Hallein. Kauer wrote three novels focusing on this cultic object.

title: Li Hongbo

text:
Li Hongbo () is a Chinese artist born in Jilin in 1974. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Jilin Normal University in 1996, Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Folk Art in 2001, MFA degree in Experimental Art in 2010, both from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Li Hongbo is best known for his lifelike paper sculptures, made entirely out of paper and glue. His work has been exhibited in museums around the world.

Li's works have been exhibited internationally. Most recently, his works were displayed at Ludwigsburg Museum in Germany (2013), the 18th Biennale of Sydney in Australia (2012), and Klein Sun Gallery in New York (2013). Li's first solo exhibit in North America titled Tools of Study at Klein Sun Gallery, received worldwide attention.

He now lives and works in Beijing, China.

Works

Li Hongbo's works are characterized by their unique media- paper and glue. Initially inspired by the idea of tradition and ubiquity that paper embodies, Li creates a hidden element of surprise in his paper sculptures that stretch in infinitely many ways. The static and emotionless state of the sculptures transform into unpredictable images, ultimately accentuating the difference between restriction and freedom.

Each bust comprises roughly 7,000 to 26,000 sheets of white paper stacked on top of each other. They are glued manually in a honeycomb structure, allowing the resulting sculptures complete flexibility and sturdiness.

title: Tahit Moos Al-Hallaq

text:
Tahit Moos Al-Hallaq (Arabic: تحت موس الحلاق) is an Iraqi comedy television show.

Plot
The series revolves, in one of Baghdad's lanes, and it is a popular one. All of its people are from the low-class (working poor). Its main  character, Haji Radhi (Saleem Al-Basri) is a Hairstylist that doesn't know how to read and write, so he's an illiterate. His assistant, A'bousi (Hammoudi Al-Harithi) is a little bit crazy, but he dropped school at fifth grade, so he knows the basics of reading and writing. Most of the people of this lane are illiterates, so they go to an anti-illiteracy school. And they have many adventures together, because they're all friends.

Characters
 Haji Radhi - Saleem Al-Basri - He is a poor simple man that cuts hair.
 A'bousi - Hammoudi Al-Harithti - He is a poor man that works as an assistant to Haji Radhi (his Master) as he said.
 Abu Ghanim - Rasim Al-Jumaily - He is a poor man that works as a smith. He has a son studying in India.
And many others...

The Idea
All of its episodes show how do people from a low-class treat people from middle or high-class. The first episode showed how illiterates treat their teacher. At the second episode, it showed how a poor ill man treats the doctor, and many more episodes that show the relations between low and high-class people.

The Popularity
It became a routine for the Iraqi people to watch it. It became the most famous television show in Iraq, back in the 1960s. The people loved it because of its simple scripts, decors, clothes, locations and ideas, so it showed the people, the Baghdadi community in the 1960s, on its natural way.

title: Mellini Chapel (Santa Maria del Popolo)

text:
The Mellini or Saint Nicholas of Tolentino Chapel () is the third chapel on the left-hand side of the nave in the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. The chapel contains several funeral monuments of the members of the Mellini family among them the works of Alessandro Algardi and Pierre-Étienne Monnot.

History
The first patron of the chapel was a celebrated jurist, Pietro Mellini who belonged to a noble and ancient Roman family. The chapel, which was dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, is one of the original 15th-century hexagonal side chapels of the basilica. It has been the funeral place of the Mellini family for centuries. Originally it had two monumental Renaissance tombs facing each other, made for Cardinal Giovanni Battista Mellini and his brother, Pietro around 1478-83. A similar arrangement is still visible in other side chapels of the basilica.

The appearance of the chapel was fundamentally changed when it was rebuilt by Cardinal Giovanni Garzia Mellini in the 1620s in Baroque style. The whole interior was covered with white and gold stuccos, and the vault was decorated with frescos depicting scenes from the life of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino by a Florentine artist, Giovanni da San Giovanni who was paid 130 scudi "as the rest and final installment of payment for the several works done" on 27 October 1627. The main altar was consecrated in 1628. The previous Renaissance tombs were dismantled to make way for the monumental Baroque sepulchres of Cardinal Giovanni Garzia Mellini in the 1630s and Cardinal Savio Mellini in the 1690s.

In the middle of the 18th century the chapel was restored again and the main altarpiece was replaced by a similar painting of Agostino Masucci. The frescos of the vault were covered with a new cycle of paintings. These were removed in 1992-1993 when the original frescos of Giovanni da San Giovanni were revealed and restored by Bruno Zanardi except one scene where the 18th-century layer was retained.

Description
The interior of the chapel is covered with a rich white and gold stucco decoration which also extends over the outer surface of the entrance arch. The original Renaissance half-columns were embellished with Ionic stucco capitals with festoons and angel heads. The keystone of the arch is an escutcheon with crossed branches of lilies, a star and bread rolls (the traditional attributes of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino), flanked by two stucco half-figures holding garlands of fruit. The soffit of the entrance arch is decorated with angel heads, the dove of the Holy Ghost and decorative relief panels.

The main altarpiece shows The Virgin with Saint Augustine and Nicholas of Tolentino. The huge Baroque painting is a late work of Agostino Masucci, a successful follower of Carlo Maratta, from around 1750. It replaced a previous painting by Giovanni da San Giovanni depicting the same subject which was mentioned by Giovanni Baglione in his 1642 biography of Italian artists. (The previous altarpiece was recently identified as a painting in the Church of Sant'Agostino in Anagni.) The young Saint Nicholas of Tolentino is dressed as an Augustinian friar in black habit, kneeling before an altar with hands clasped in prayer. He is presented to the Virgin by Saint Augustine wearing episcopal robes and a mitre. The Virgin has descended from heaven on a throne of clouds poised above the altar, and she is accompanied by a retinue of putti, one of them holding a branch of lilies, the traditional attribute of Saint Nicholas. The older female saint behind the Virgin could be identified as Saint Monica, Augustine's mother. "The style with which the artist expresses himself in the realization of this work is noble and solemn. The figures are exalted by the monumentality of the upwards perspective and the wide gestures", wrote Maria Grazia Branchetti.

The altarpiece is framed by a sumptuous gold and white stucco aedicule with fluted Corinthian columns and a segmented, broken pediment which is crowned by the symbol of the Holy Spirit, a shell with garlands of fruit and two putti. The frieze has a decoration of acanthus tendrils and two winged mythological figurines flanking a six-pointed star. The antependium of the altar is a modern stone slab with a bronze relief of Saint Francis and the Wolf of Gubbio made by Goffredo Verginelli.

The frescos on the vault display The Story of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino painted by Giovanni da San Giovanni in 1623-27. The scenes are set in a richly detailed white and gold stucco frame and the eight panels are crowned with angel heads and ribbons. The central octagonal panel illusionistically opens toward the sky like an oculus; here the fresco displays the Glory of Saint Nicholas, the saint ascending to heaven among angels, one of them holding a lily. The original frescos of Giovanni da San Giovanni were hidden under the coarse 18th-century repainting until 1993. Although they were brought to light, the paintings remain in a precarious state and many of the finer details and the original colours were irretrievably lost. The 7 scenes are as follows (in clockwise order):

1) Episode from the life of Saint Nicholas

2) Death of Saint Nicholas (seriously damaged)

3) Saint Nicholas revives two roasted pigeons

4) Temptation of Saint Nicholas

5) Saint Nicholas distributes bread rolls to the sick

6) Saint Nicholas transforms the bread into roses (the only fresco whose 18th-century version was retained)

7) A miracle of Saint Nicholas (the 18th-century layer was totally different)

The frescos depict two of the gentle miracles that made the Augustinian saint so beloved through the ages. Once when he was ill, the prior insisted that he should eat some meat although Nicholas was a vegetarian. He obeyed and touched the roast pigeons on the plate but the birds came to life and flew away. Another time he was caught by the prior taking too much food to the poor, but the bread hidden in his sleeves turned into roses. The scene where he distributes the blessed rolls, called Saint Nicholas' bread to the sick emphasizes his care for the ailing. Like many other saints he was frequently harassed and tempted by the Devil with apparitions (fourth scene).

The frescos of the lunettes show the four cardinal virtues, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance and Prudence. They are set in semicircular panels with white and gold stucco frames decorated with garlands, shells and ribbons. The frescos were painted by Giovanni da San Giovanni and like the ceiling they had been covered with a layer of 18th-century repainting until 1993 when they were restored. The female personifications can be identified by the usual attributes: Justice - scale and sword; Fortitude - lion, column, helmet, mace; Temperance - glass of wine, chalice (?); Prudence - mirror, snake. In case of The Allegory of Temperance the 18th-century layer was totally different, depicting an angel mixing water with wine and the personification holding a bridle. The Allegory of Prudence was also heavily repainted, the 18th-century version was showing an additional angel.

The entrance of the chapel is barred by a marble balustrade with richly carved wooden doors that are decorated with the coat-of-arms of Cardinal Mellini (the letter M and diagonal stripes).

Tombs

Giovanni Battista Mellini

The oldest monumental tomb in the chapel is the funeral monument of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Mellini (died 1478), the Bishop of Urbino and the younger brother of Pietro Mellini. Giovanni Battista played an important part in the reconstruction of Saint Peter's Basilica during the reign of Pope Sixtus IV. The funeral inscription mentions his mission as papal legate to Milan in 1477. The monument was dismantled by Cardinal Savio Mellini in 1698 who appropriated the architectural frame for his own tomb and placed the effigy of his forefather in front of the new monument. This effigy lies on a bier decorated with richly handled fruits and flowers. The drapery on the figure runs in one sweep from head to foot. A 17th-century drawing in Windsor Castle preserved the original appearance of the tomb. Above the effigy there was a relief of Christ, the Man of Sorrows, being raised by angels from his tomb. The base of monument was decorated with the figures of two cherubs and the top was crowned with a shell pediment.

Pietro Mellini
The tomb of Pietro Mellini (died 1483) is located under the 17th-century monument of Mario Mellini. The quattrocento tomb shows a Tuscan influence. It is sometimes attributed to Giovanni Dalmata. The effigy of the great jurist is "a simple figure of great dignity, such as marked the man in his own lifetime". The face looks like a trustworthy portraiture and the folds of the drapery are realistic. The supports of the bier are decorated with carved ornaments. The sculpture shows a strong similarity to the figure of Raffaello della Rovere in the crypt of the Church of Santi Apostoli, Rome. The monument was once of the same type as the tomb of Marcantonio Albertoni and Giovanni della Rovere, both in this church, but it was truncated.

Francesco Mellini

The oldest brother of Pietro and Giovanni Battista, Francesco Mellini, Augustinian friar and the Bishop of Senigallia, is buried under a tomb slab in the chapel. He was suffocated by the crowd at the conclave of 1431. The relief of the slab shows the full-length image of the Bishop, surrounded by a frame of trefoil arch supported on slender twisted columns with the family coats-of-arms in the upper corners.

Giovanni Garzia Mellini

The tomb of Cardinal Giovanni Garzia Mellini (died 1629), the vicar general of Rome was created by Alessandro Algardi in 1637-38. The monument was erected by the cardinal's nephews, Mario and Urbano Mellini but only after a conspicuously long time their uncle's death. The centrepiece of the monument is the white Carrara marble bust of the Cardinal in a niche which shows him leaning forward and turning towards the altar, his left hand on his heart and his right hand holding a prayer book. The work was much admired in Algardi's day because it conveys a sense of Baroque piety combined with expressive realism and brilliantly observed, technically perfect details. The monument itself is a classicising aedicule framed by flat pilasters with masks and crowned by a broken segmental pediment with the Mellini coat-of-arms in a conch. The big letter M, the main symbol of the family, recurs on the trapezoid sarcophagus (and the other Baroque tombs in the chapel). The Doric frieze is decorated with ecclesiastical objects (crozier, chalice, holy vessels and mitre). The voluminous epitaph follows the stages of Giovanni Garzia's prestigious career from his youth until his death, including his important diplomatic missions for Pope Paul V to Philip III of Spain and the warring Habsburg brothers of Emperor Rudolf II and Matthias.

Urbano and Mario Mellini

The tombs of Urbano (†1660) and Mario Mellini (†1673), distinguished soldiers of the Papal State, were placed in front of the windows. The monuments were attributed to Alessandro Algardi, and Wittkower claims that the bust of Mario "obviously echoes Bernini's Francisco I of Este and must date from after 1650". The bust on Urbano's tomb was made well before 1660, probably in the mid-1630s, and its original designation is not clear, but it was suggested that Algardi made it as a model for the Cardinal's portrait. The monuments are almost identical with subtle differences. Both consist a trapezoid sarcophagus and the bust of the deceased which is set between volutes. The sarcophagus is decorated with the letter M on Urbano's tomb. The inscription states that the tomb of Mario Mellini was built by his son, Cardinal Savio Mellini "for the best of fathers". The bust was probably made by the workshop of Pierre-Étienne Monnot, the sculptor who created Savio Mellini's tomb.

Savio Mellini

The tomb of Cardinal Savio Mellini, the Bishop of Nepi and Sutri on the right hand wall of the chapel was made by Pierre-Étienne Monnot, a French sculptor who worked in Rome. The strange monument was superimposed upon the older tomb of Giovanni Battista Mellini. The architectural frame of the Quattrocento tomb was partly reused. Two small reliefs with the personifications of the virtues and the cardinal's insignia on the side pilasters belong to that period.

The monument imitates the more famous tomb of Giovanni Garzia Mellini on the left side of the chapel. The centrepiece is the marble bust of the Cardinal in a similar pose than his counterpart opposite. He looks toward the altar holding a book and a biretta. His head is covered by a zucchetto. The bust is placed in a deep rectangular niche which is clad with black and yellow slabs. The characteristically colourful Late Baroque composition is enhanced by a yellow marble inscription plate. The monument is crowned by a broken segmental pediment with the cardinal's coloured coat-of-arms. The French sculptor signed his work on the biretta of the bust: MONNO(T) F(E)CIT.

The very long funerary inscription mentions fact the Cardinal Savio has served as papal nuncio in Spain for ten years, and later he was the cardinal priest of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo. According to the inscription his tomb was erected in 1699 (i. e. during his lifetime). A will dated to 9 September 1698 states that the statues of the tomb had been completed but the monument was still unfinished at the time. The cardinal planned his own tomb and apparently lived to see it erected because he died in 1701.

The two flanking busts on the ledge are sometimes attributed to Monnot but according to Enggass they were made by another hand. They portray the Cardinal's deceased brothers, Pietro Mellini (†1694), general of the papal army, and Paolo Antonio Mellini (†1683), commander of the papal troops at the Battle of Vienna against the Ottomans where he lost his life.

Mario Mellini (†1756)

The large tombstone (in the floor) of Cardinal Mario Mellini (died 1756) is inlaid with a mosaic of colourful stones. The inscription says that Mellini was minister plenipotentiary at the Holy See of Maria Theresa, Empress and Queen of Hungary "in the most difficult times", and his tomb was erected by his nieces, Anna Serlupi and Giulia Falconieri and his nephew, Antonio Casali in 1760. The epitaph is set in a Baroque crest which is flanked by green olive branches and surmounted by the coat-of-arms of the cardinal. The allegorical figures of Prudence (left with mirror in her hand) and Fortitude (right with sword) are reclining on the top of the crest.

Portraits owned by the National Gallery of Norway include those of Johan P. Vosgraff (1780s), Anna H. Vosgraff (1780s) and James Collett (1791–92).

title: Khandro Yeshé Réma

text:
Jétsunma Khandro Yeshé Réma, also known as Kyungchen Aro Lingma, (1886–1923) was the discoverer of the Aro gTér terma, a cycle of pure vision revelation teachings. This is according to Aro gTér, which says Aro Lingma transmitted the lineage to her only son, named Aro Yeshe (1915-1951), a claim not supported by any other account, nor Aro Yeshe himself. She supposedly received these teachings in visions on a journey to Southern Tibet with her sang-yab (male consort) Khalden Lingpa, who had given up his monk's vows to become her sang-yab. These visions were visions of Yeshé Tsogyel in which Réma realized the cycles of teachings and practice that her mother had predicted she would. She also received the name Kyungchen Aro Lingma from Yeshé Tsogyel.

She was the incarnation of Jomo Menmo. She lived in the Himalayas with her son Aro Yeshe and a community of practitioners that formed around them.

The Aro lineage (also called the Mother Essence lineage) is based on her teachings within the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
