title: Clan Donald

text: Clan Donald, also known as Clan MacDonald ( ), is a Highland Scottish clan and one of the largest Scottish clans. The Lord Lyon King of Arms, the Scottish official with responsibility for regulating heraldry in that country, issuing new grants of coats of arms, and serving as the judge of the Court of the Lord Lyon, recognises under Scottish law the "High Chief of Clan Donald". Historically the chiefs of the Clan Donald held the title of Lord of the Isles until 1493 and two of those chiefs also held the title of Earl of Ross until 1476.


title: Clan Donald

text: There are also numerous branches to the Clan Donald and several of these have chiefs recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms; these are: Clan Macdonald of Sleat, Clan Macdonald of Clanranald, Clan MacDonell of Glengarry, Clan MacDonald of Keppoch, and Clan MacAlister. There are also notable historic branches of Clan Donald without chiefs so-recognised, these are: the Clan MacDonald of Dunnyveg, Clan MacDonald of Lochalsh, Clan MacDonald of Glencoe, and the MacDonalds of Ardnamurchan. The MacDonnells of Antrim are a cadet branch of the MacDonalds of Dunnyveg but do not belong to the Scottish associations and have a chief officially recognised in Ireland.


title: Clan Donald

text: The Norse-Gaelic Clan Donald traces its descent from Dòmhnall Mac Raghnuill (d. circa 1250), whose father Reginald or Ranald was styled "King of the Isles" and "Lord of Argyll and Kintyre". Ranald's father, Somerled was styled "King of the Hebrides", and was killed campaigning against Malcolm IV of Scotland at the Battle of Renfrew in 1164. Clan Donald shares a descent from Somerled with Clan MacDougall, who traces their lineage from his elder son, Dugall mac Somhairle. Their dynasties are together commonly referred to as the Clann Somhairle. Furthermore, they are descended maternally from both the House of Godred Crovan and the Earls of Orkney, through Somerled's wife Ragnhildis Ólafsdóttir, daughter of Olaf I Godredsson, King of Mann and the Isles and Ingeborg Haakonsdottir, daughter of Haakon Paulsson, Earl of Orkney. It remains uncertain if the Clann Somhairle are also descendants in some manner, through one or another of the above dynasts, of the House of Ivar, but this is commonly argued.


title: Clan Donald

text: Tradition gave Somerled a Gaelic descent in the male line, as the medieval seanchaidhean (Gaelic historians) traced his lineage through a long line of ancestors back to the High Kings of Ireland, namely Colla Uais and Conn of the Hundred Battles. Thus Clan Donald claimed to be both "Clann Cholla" and "Siol Chuinn" ("Children of Colla" and "Seed of Conn"). Possibly the oldest piece of poetry attributed to the MacDonalds is a "brosnachadh" (an incitement to battle) which was said to have been written in 1411, on the day of the Battle of Harlaw. The first lines of the poem begin "A Chlanna Cuinn cuimhnichibh / Cruas an àm na h-iorghaile," ("Ye children of Conn remember hardihood in the time of battle"). A later poem made to John of Islay (1434–1503), last of the MacDonald Lords of the Isles, proclaims "Ceannas Ghàidheal do Chlainn Cholla, còir fhògradh," ("The Headship of the Gael to the family of Colla, it is right to proclaim it"), giving MacDonald's genealogy back to Colla Uais.

text: However, a recent DNA study has shown that Somerled was of Norse descent in his male line. By testing the Y-DNA of males bearing the surnames MacDonald, MacDougall, MacAlister, and their variants it was found that a substantial proportion of men tested shared the same Y-DNA and a direct paternal ancestor. This distinct Y-chromosome R1a1 haplotype found in Scotland has been regarded as often showing Norse descent in the Britain and Ireland.

text: In 1263 Alexander III of Scotland defeated Haakon IV of Norway at the Battle of Largs. The Clan Donald chief, Aonghas Mor and his clan had technically been vassals of Haakon and so the king of Scots became their new overlord, as confirmed in the Treaty of Perth.


title: Clan Donald

text: Aongus Mor's son was Aonghus Óg of Islay who supported Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. In recognition of Clan Donald's support King Robert the Bruce proclaimed that Clan Donald would always occupy the honoured position on the right wing of the Scottish army.


title: Clan Donald

text: The title and territory of the Earl of Ross had originally been held by the Chief of Clan Ross but had passed through an heiress to the Leslie or Lesley family in the early 15th century. However, Angus Og's grandson, Donald of Islay, Lord of the Isles married Mariota, Countess of Ross (Margaret Lesley) who was the heiress of the Leslie Earls of Ross and he later claimed the position of Earl of Ross through this marriage. In 1411, Donald secured Dingwall Castle which was the principal seat of the Earldom of Ross, after he had defeated the powerful Clan Mackay who were supporters of the Stewart confederacy at the Battle of Dingwall. This in turn resulted in the indecisive Battle of Harlaw on 24 July 1411 fought between Donald of Islay's forces and those of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. There may have been as many as 10,000 men in the army of Donald at the Battle of Harlaw, but he failed to inflict a decisive victory and withdrew back to the Western Highlands. In the aftermath, Albany was able to retake Dingwall and seize control of Easter Ross. By 1415 the Earldom of Ross was with Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany. Donald prepared for war and proclaimed himself "Lord of Ross". However, the Duke of Albany appointed his own son John Stewart, 2nd Earl of Buchan as the new Earl of Ross.


title: Clan Donald

text: In 1429 the Battle of Lochaber took place where forces led by Alexander of Islay, 3rd Lord of the Isles fought against the royalist army of James I of Scotland. Two years later the Battle of Inverlochy (1431) took place; While chief Alexander of Islay, Lord of the Isles was imprisoned by King James I, the Clan MacDonald were led by his nephew, Donald Balloch MacDonald, who defeated Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar's royal army. The armies of the MacDonald Lords of the Isles were the only magnate forces in Scotland capable of inflicting defeats on the Crown at this time. The Battle of Inverlochy in 1431 is one example of this and the Battle of Lagabraad in Ross in 1480 is another.


title: Clan Donald

text: Later in the 15th century the MacDonald chiefs would succeed as the Earls of Ross: firstly Alexander of Islay, Earl of Ross, son of Donald of Islay and Mariota, Countess of Ross, succeeded to the earldom as confirmed by a charter dated September 1437, following the assassination of James I of Scotland in February of the same year. Secondly, Alexander's son John of Islay, Earl of Ross who surrendered the earldom in 1475 to the King.


title: Clan Donald

text: According to 17th century historian Sir Robert Gordon, 1st Baronet who himself was a younger son of Alexander Gordon, 12th Earl of Sutherland, in 1455 the Battle of Skibo and Strathfleet took place where John of Islay invaded Sutherland but was defeated by the Clan Sutherland who were led by Robert Sutherland, brother of John Sutherland, 7th Earl of Sutherland.


title: Clan Donald

text: In 1475, James III of Scotland forfeited the MacDonald Earldom of Ross and although the MacDonald Lordship of the Isles was not forfeited until 1493, in many ways 1475 marked the end of the lordship as a potent force. Following this is what the Books of Clanranald describe as a "great struggle for power among the Gael". Various leaders, such as Aonghas Óg who was the fourth illegitimate son of the Lord of the Isles, along with his son, Domhnall Dubh, and also Alexander MacDonald of Lochalsh and John Mor MacDonald of Dunyvaig were seeking to restore the MacDonald hegemony in the west. The Battle of Bloody Bay took place in 1480 where John MacDonald of Islay, Lord of the Isles and chief of Clan Donald was defeated by his son Aonghas Óg. Aonghas Óg's son Domhnall Dubh rebelled against James IV of Scotland and made an alliance with Henry VIII of England in an attempt to regain the Lordship of the Isles and although various attempts were made to restore the lordship, by 1545 all had failed. The ultimate victors were the Crown's hard men in the north and west: Alexander Gordon, 3rd Earl of Huntly (chief of Clan Gordon), Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll (chief of Clan Campbell) and John MacIain of Ardnamurchan. The various branches of the Clan Donald began accepting charters from the Crown in recognition of their separate holdings. This was part of a royal policy that successfully kept the Clan Donald divided, and in doing so they were less of a threat to the central authority.


title: Clan Donald

text: The MacDonnells of Antrim in Northern Ireland were a sept of Clan Donald. MacDonnell migration to the Glens and Rathlin Island increased in the early 16th century after the clan had rejected overtures from an increasingly powerful James IV, King of Scotland.


title: Clan Donald

text: Loss of the Lordship of the Isles fractured Highland society and the MacDonalds in particular, who were left holding lands on either side of the Irish Sea, rather than a unified block of territory. Their attempts to re-establish control destabilised Western Scotland for generations; the charge of 'Slaughter under trust', later applied after the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 was introduced in 1587 to reduce the endemic feuding that resulted. Opponents now had to use the Crown to settle disputes and it applied to murder committed in 'cold-blood' i.e. once articles of surrender had been agreed or hospitality accepted. The first recorded use was the 1588 prosecution of Lachlan Maclean, whose objections to his new stepfather, John MacDonald, resulted in the murder of 18 members of the MacDonald wedding party.


title: Clan Donald

text: In 1568, the Scottish Reformation established a national kirk that was Presbyterian in structure and Calvinist in doctrine; by 1640, less than 2% of Scots were Catholics, concentrated in places like South Uist, controlled by Clanranald but despite its minority status, fear of Popery remained widespread. This excluded the MacDonalds from power and split them into Catholic and Presbyterian factions; this would have fatal consequences for the Glencoe MacDonalds in 1692.


title: Clan Donald

text: The 1638-1651 Wars of the Three Kingdoms caused huge dislocation and damage throughout the British Isles; in 1641, the Scottish Covenanter government sending an expeditionary force that joined the vicious and bloody Irish Rebellion. All sides committed atrocities, leading to a series of tit for tat responses, exacerbated by long-standing animosities; in 1642 on Rathlin Island, soldiers from a predominantly Clan Campbell-recruited unit led by Sir Duncan Campbell threw scores of MacDonnell women over the cliffs to their deaths on rocks below.


title: Clan Donald

text: Scotland initially stayed neutral in the First English Civil War but became involved in 1643; the shifting alliances only make sense if one understands that in Scotland, both Royalists and Covenanters agreed the institution of monarchy was divinely ordered but disagreed on the nature and extent of Royal authority versus that of the church. This makes it hard to categorise clans as wholly 'Royalist,' 'Catholic' or later 'Jacobite.'


title: Clan Donald

text: In 1644, Alasdair Mac Colla landed in Scotland with 1500 Irish troops to link up with the Scottish Royalists; Alasdair was from Clan Donald of Dunnyveg, which historically held lands in the western Scottish islands and North-East Ireland. They joined up with Montrose and played a leading role in the 1644-1645 campaign; this was highly successful, with victory at the Battle of Inverlochy leaving Montrose in effective control of Scotland.


title: Clan Donald

text: Inverlochy and the entire Montrose campaign is often presented as a clan battle between Campbells and MacDonalds; while there is certainly some truth in this, many others were involved. Its persistence in Gaelic folklore was partly driven by deliberate policy, since Montrose used it as a means of recruiting. Ultimately the campaign ended in failure and division since Mac Colla's objective was to regain territories in the Western Highlands, Montrose's to move south and aid Charles. The two split; Mac Colla's ravaging of Campbell lands was still remembered with deep bitterness 300 years later.


title: Clan Donald

text: The Massacre of Glencoe took place in 1692, 38 unarmed MacDonalds from the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were murdered when an initiative to suppress Jacobitism was entangled in the long-running feud and MacIain who was the chief of the MacDonalds of Glencoe, was late in signing an oath of allegiance to William III of England. The event served as part of the inspiration for "The Red Wedding" as featured in books and TV series "Game of Thrones".


title: Clan Donald

text: During the Jacobite rising of 1715 the MacDonalds supported the Jacobite cause of the House of Stuart. Men of Clan MacDonald of Keppoch, and the Clan Macdonald of Clanranald fought at the Battle of Sheriffmuir on 13 November 1715 where chief Allan MacDonald of Clanranald was killed. The Clan MacDonald of Glencoe also fought at Sherriffmuir.


title: Clan Donald

text: During the Jacobite rising of 1745 the Clan MacDonell of Glengarry along with the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch and the MacDonalds of Glencoe fought as Jacobites at the Battle of Prestonpans on 21 September 1745.


title: Clan Donald

text: The Clan MacDonald of Clanranald, along with the Clan MacDonald of Glengarry, and Clan MacDonald of Keppoch, fought as Jacobites at the Battle of Falkirk Muir on 17 January 1746


title: Clan Donald

text: The Clan MacDonald of Glencoe, Clan MacDonald of Clanranald, and Clan MacDonell of Glengarry, fought as Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden in April 1746, as did the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch whose chief, Alexander MacDonald of Keppoch, was killed.


title: Clan Donald

text: The Clan MacDonald of Sleat branch had fought for the Jacobites in the 1715 rebellion, however they actually formed two battalions (Independent Highland Companies) in support of the British Government during the 1745 rebellion and as a result the Sleat possessions remained intact. However, according to A and A MacDonald these two companies were more of a hindrance than help to the Government as they were made up of officers and men who were in entire sympathy with the Jacobite "Prince" Charles Edward Stuart.


title: Clan Donald

text: In 1947, the Lord Lyon King of Arms granted the undifferenced arms of Macdonald to Alexander Godfrey Macdonald, 7th Lord Macdonald, making him the first High Chief of Clan Donald. After his death in 1970, he was succeeded by his son Godfrey James Macdonald of Macdonald, 8th Lord Macdonald, who is the current high chief of Clan Donald. In 1972, the Macdonald estates were sold off to pay death duties. Lord Macdonald lives at Kinloch Lodge on Skye with his wife, the food writer Claire Macdonald (m. 1969).


title: Frictional Games

text: Frictional Games AB is a Swedish independent video game developer based in Malmö, founded in January 2007 by Thomas Grip and Jens Nilsson. The company specialises in the development of survival horror games with very little or no combat gameplay mechanics. It is best known for its games "" and "Soma".


title: Frictional Games

text: Frictional Games was founded by Thomas Grip and Jens Nilsson. Before founding the company, both had little professional experience in the video game industry, having only had done some freelance jobs. The two began co-operating when Nilsson joined Grip on "Unbirth", a hobby project that was later cancelled. They subsequently collaborated on other projects and formally established Frictional on 1 January 2007. The company was established in Helsingborg, Sweden, although most members worked remotely from other parts of Europe. Frictional's first game was "", based on a tech demo titled "Penumbra" and released in 2007. It was originally planned to be the first episode in a trilogy, however, due to problems with publisher Lexicon Entertainment, Frictional shifted to a partnership with Paradox Interactive. Under Paradox, the two remaining games in the trilogy were released as one game under the title "" in 2008, followed by an additional expansion pack titled "" the same year.


title: Frictional Games

text: Over an exactly three-year-long timespan, Frictional created and self-published "". The game was released on 8 September 2010 to generally favourable reviews, however, Frictional noted that it expected the game to struggle becoming popular and profitable given its lack of a third-party publisher. "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" sold 36,000 copies within its first month of release, and a total of 1,360,000 copies within the first two years, earning the company a total revenue of about in contrast to their development budget. According to Nilsson, the Frictional team did not know how to continue the "Amnesia" series and feared that a misattempted "Amnesia" game would "fail miserably". Instead, the team opted to draft The Chinese Room as a third-party developer to develop a second game, giving them advice on the horror aspects, while The Chinese Room was responsible for the plot and gameplay development. The game, "", was released by Frictional in 2013.


title: Frictional Games

text: During the time of "A Machine for Pigs" development, Frictional itself started working on a new game, which eventually became "Soma", announced shortly after the release of "Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs". "Soma" was self-released by Frictional on 22 September 2015 to generally favourable reviews and initial sales higher than those of "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" within the first days: "Soma" sold 92,000 units within ten days (in contrast to the 20,000 first-week sales of "Amnesia: The Dark Descent"), and 450,000 units in its first year (in contrast to the 390,000 first-year sales of "Amnesia: The Dark Descent").


title: Frictional Games

text: In 2016, Frictional Games announced that it began the production of two new, yet unannounced games, as a result of the high profitability of "Soma". By 2019, it also planned to start pre-production on a third unannounced game. In August 2017, Frictional moved from Helsingborg to new offices on Stora Nygatan in Malmö. Around this time, the company had 16 employees. The Malmö offices housed half of its 25 staff members. "", a follow-up to "The Dark Descent", was announced with a trailer in March 2020 and was released in October 2020.

text: The HPL Engine is Frictional's in-house game engine. It is named after writer H. P. Lovecraft. The first iteration of the engine, HPL Engine 1, was used for the "Penumbra" series. This iteration was released as open-source software on 12 May 2010, with most of the code licensed under the GNU GPL-3.0-or-later licence. HPL Engine 2 was used for "" and "", as well as prototype versions of "Gone Home". It was also released under the GNU GPL-3.0-or-later licence, on 23 September 2020.


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Ann Magnuson (born January 4, 1956) is an American actress, performance artist, and nightclub performer. She was described by "The New York Times" in 1990 as "An endearing theatrical chameleon who has as many characters at her fingertips as Lily Tomlin does".


title: Ann Magnuson

text: A founding member of the 1980s band Bongwater, Magnuson starred in the ABC sitcom "Anything but Love" (1989–92). Her film appearances include "The Hunger" (1983), "Making Mr. Right" (1987), "Clear and Present Danger" (1994), "Panic Room" (2002), and "One More Time" (2015).


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Magnuson was born in Charleston, West Virginia, to a journalist mother and a lawyer father. She had a brother, Bobby, who died in 1988 of complications from AIDS. She attended Holz Elementary and George Washington High School in Charleston. After graduating from Denison University in 1978, she moved to New York City and was a DJ and performer at Club 57 and the Mudd Club in Manhattan around 1979 through the early 1980s. She created such characters as Anoushka, a Soviet lounge singer, wearing a wig backwards and singing mock-Russian lyrics to pop music standards, and separately sang in an all-girl percussion group, Pulsallama, whose 1982 single "The Devil Lives In My Husband's Body" was a housewife's lament of a spouse who appears to be possessed. Later, in 1987, Magnuson fronted the satirical faux-heavy metal band Vulcan Death Grip.


title: Ann Magnuson

text: In an interview for the 2002 WETA-TV PBS special "Lance Loud! A Death in An American Family", Magnuson credited the idea of Lance Loud — a member of an all-American family filmed day-in/day-out for the landmark PBS documentary "An American Family", who came out as gay during the course of that documentary miniseries — with inspiring her to leave West Virginia for New York:


title: Ann Magnuson

text: In the late '70s and early '80s, Magnuson ran Club 57, located in the basement of the Polish National church. It became a center of a world that included Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, and many others from New York's budding graffiti and downtown scenes. Club 57 was known for its theme nights such as Reggae Miniature Golf and Model World of Glue Night.


title: Ann Magnuson

text: A fixture of the Manhattan downtown club scene of the 1980s, Magnuson gained attention with her role as a snarky cigarette girl in director Susan Seidelman's 1985 independent film hit "Desperately Seeking Susan", which also helped launch the acting career of singer Madonna. Magnuson went on to star in Seidelman's "Making Mr. Right" (1987), a poorly received science-fiction romance about an android played by John Malkovich.


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Concurrently, Magnuson developed an underground following as lead vocalist of the band Bongwater, formed in 1985 with producer-musician Mark Kramer. Bongwater released four "avant garde" albums and a debut EP before breaking up in 1992 with a legal battle between Magnuson and Kramer that lasted through at least 1996 and ended with the bankruptcy of Kramer's independent-music label Shimmy-Disc.


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Magnuson's 15-minute video performance piece "Made for Television", self-produced in 1981, ran on the WNET-PBS series "Alive from Off-Center". Her satiric featurette found her playing close to 50 roles in a "channel-hopping" series of visual bites parodying television programming game shows to TV films to televangelists. As art critic Sarah Valdez described it, "a bewigged Ann Magnuson consecutively inhabits, at a rate faster than any channel surfer could keep up with, an outlandish, uproariously unfortunate range of female stereotypes". It was later released by HBO Home Video, together with the Cinemax cable-TV special "Vandemonium" (1987), in which Magnuson starred in a mostly solo stage piece with appearances by actor-singer Meat Loaf, performance artist Joey Arias, and actor-monologist Eric Bogosian. Magnuson also co-hosted "Alive from Off Center" during its 1988 season, taking over from fellow performance artist Laurie Anderson, who had hosted the series the year before.


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Her 1995 CD "The Luv Show" (Geffen Records/MCA), her major-label debut, was commercially unsuccessful, but musically adventurous; one critic described it "an MGM musical as directed by Russ Meyer (which means the mambo 'Sex With The Devil'" and 'Miss Pussy Pants' sit comfortably next to Ethel Merman references in the same work)".


title: Ann Magnuson

text: From 1989 to 1992, Magnuson played Catherine Hughes, the comically hip editor-in-chief of a Chicago magazine in the television sitcom "Anything But Love", opposite Jamie Lee Curtis and comedian Richard Lewis, and played a liberal political commentator on comedian Wanda Sykes' 2003 Fox Broadcasting sitcom "Wanda at Large".


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Magnuson's film roles have included a snarly real estate agent in "Panic Room", Alan's mother in "Small Soldiers", a madam in "Tank Girl", Mel Gibson's "money junkie" ex-wife in "Tequila Sunrise", Tom Berenger's estranged but horny ex-girlfriend in "Love at Large", a secretary in "Clear and Present Danger", and a sexy victim of David Bowie's vampire in "The Hunger".


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Her TV guest appearances include an episode each of the Lifetime cable-network fiction-suspense anthology "The Hidden Room"; the cult-hit, surrealistic comedy-drama "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" and "Salute Your Shorts" on Nickelodeon; the sitcoms "The John Larroquette Show", "The Drew Carey Show", "Caroline in the City", and "Frasier"; and the police procedural drama "". In the 1996 telefilm "The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas", Magnuson played Lily Munster from the original 1960s TV series "The Munsters". She appeared in the 1990 Redd Kross music video for the song "Annie's Gone", written about her. As writer Jason Anderson summarized her work through 1996, "She's been appearing in various states of undress for artistic purposes since her performance art daze in late-'70s New York [where s]he was indie rock's thinking vixen..."


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Magnuson appeared in the 1990 music video for Redd Kross's "Annie's Gone", and in the 1998 music video for Jerry Cantrell's "My Song". In 1997 she provided guest vocals for the band Tindersticks on the song "Buried Bones" from their album "Curtains".


title: Ann Magnuson

text: In 2003, Magnuson began touring a one-woman stage show, "Pretty Songs & Ugly Stories", which she mounted through at least July 2006. She played Sister Elizabeth Donderstock in the play "The Book of Liz," written by Amy Sedaris and David Sedaris, in May 2005 at the 2nd Stage Theatre in Hollywood, California.


title: Ann Magnuson

text: Other theater work has included playwright John Patrick Shanley's "Four Dogs and a Bone" at the Lucille Lortel Theater in New York City, the one-woman shows "You Could Be Home Now" (which opened the 1990 Serious Fun festival at New York City's Lincoln Center), and "Rave Mom" (opened in New York City October 2001), and in a neo-burlesque show "The Velvet Hammer".


title: Ann Magnuson

text: A "Village Voice" review described the autobiographical "Rave Mom" as Magnuson's "travels through 1999 — a year of Ecstasy-popping, bad romance-chasing and searching for escapism and meaning after her brother's death from AIDS. Magnuson has a thoroughly charming presence [but] her stories of celebrity-studded Oscar parties, kid-filled raves, a wealthy dotcom suitor, and so on, come off as utterly self-absorbed and trivial..."


title: Ann Magnuson

text: She has performed at the Revlon/UCLA Breast Center benefit-show series "What A Pair!" in 2005, performing with Elaine Hendrix "Tips" from the musical "Pump Boys & Dinettes", and 2006, performing with Samantha Shelton. She appeared in "What's My Line? Live on Stage" in Los Angeles on Sept 14, 2006.

title: Ann Magnuson

text: Magnuson married architect John Bertram in 2002. She has described the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake, where she lives in her Richard Neutra-designed house, as "a rainbow-coalition Mayberry ... You don't get a sense of anybody really flaunting how rich they are."


title: Aaron Pico

text: Aaron Pico (born September 23, 1996) is an American mixed martial artist and former freestyle wrestler who currently competes in the featherweight division of Bellator MMA. As a freestyle wrestler, Pico competed at 65 kilograms, where he placed second at 2016 US Olympic Team Trials and holds multiple national and international championships. In the age–group, he was a two–time Junior World Championship medalist and a Cadet World Champion. As of October 4, 2022, he is #4 in the Bellator Featherweight Rankings.


title: Aaron Pico

text: Pico is a seventh-generation Californio and a member of the Pico family of California, as great-great-great-great-grandson of Pío Pico, 10th Governor of Alta California. He started boxing at the age of ten and also competed in Pankration tournaments.


title: Aaron Pico

text: Pico started wrestling at the age of four, while also competing in multiple other combat sports. During his freshman year of high school, Pico capped off a perfect 42–0 season at St. John Bosco High School and won the CIF state championship at 132 pounds. Afterwards, Pico would compete in freestyle, and after making the US Cadet World Team, he claimed the Cadet World Championship at 63 kilograms. He would also make his senior freestyle debut at age 18, defeating Alibeggadzhi Emeev in a lopsided decision in a dual meet against Russia. In a surprising turn of events, Pico, the top–ranked high school wrestler in the country, signed major endorsement contracts with Dethrone Royalty, an MMA lifestyle apparel company, and a multi–year shoe endorsement with Nike, turning into a professional athlete in 2014. This led him unable to compete in collegiate wrestling as per the rules of the NCAA, but Pico announced he intended to focus solely in freestyle to continue a mixed martial arts career after a 2016 Summer Olympic run, foregoing further education. Before his MMA debut, Pico explained:


title: Aaron Pico

text: In 2014, Pico claimed the US Junior National Championship in April when he flawlessly defeated outstanding NCAA All–American from Penn State Zain Retherford in the finals, and went on to defeat him two more times in June for the US Junior World Team spot. In July, Pico competed in the senior level, claiming a silver medal from the prestigious Grand Prix of Spain, falling to Yasar Dogu International champion Frank Chamizo. In August, he competed at the Junior World Championships, where he defeated the eventual accomplished Daichi Takatani first round, and went on to defeat four more points by technical fall before facing eventual 2016 Olympic Gold medalist from Iran Hassan Yazdani, whom he lost to on points. In October, he placed third at the prestigious Soslan Andiev International in Russia. In November, he claimed his first senior level gold medal, winning the Henri Deglane Grand Prix, earning the biggest win of his career over 2013 World Champion from Armenia David Safaryan in the finals.

In February, he claimed the Cerro Pelado International championship, defeating Pan American champions, Franklin Marén and Alejandro Valdés, and two–time US World Team Member Reece Humphrey. In April 6, Pico fell to Dan Hodge Trophy winner Brent Metcalf in a dual meet against Iowa. He then went back to the junior level to claim the US National Championship in May and the US World Team spot in June, defeating Zain Retherford three times in the process. In August, Pico placed third at the Junior World Championships, bringing a bronze medal to the United States. Back to the senior level, Pico placed fifth at the Intercontinental Cup, third at the Bill Farrell International and fourth at the US Nationals (qualifying for the 2016 US Olympic Team Trials) before the year ended.


title: Aaron Pico

text: To open up the Olympic year, he moved up to 70 kilograms for two tournaments, placing fifth at the Ukrainian International Open and third at the Alexander Medved Prizes, compiling notable victories over Nazar Kulchytskyy, 2010 Asian Games Gold medalist from Mongolia Ganzorigiin Mandakhnaran and 2015 U23 European Continental medalist from Belarus Andrei Karpach. At the US Olympic Team Trials, Pico defeated 2010 NCAA champion Jason Ness, two–time NCAA champion and US National runner–up Jordan Oliver and three–time US National champion Reece Humphrey to make the best–of–three. In the finals, he faced reigning Pan American champion and 2012 NCAA champion Frank Molinaro, whom he was 2–1 against. After defeating Molinaro first round, Pico was downed twice in razor close matches, losing his opportunity of becoming an Olympian at age 19. This was Pico's last wrestling match before transitioning into MMA. Molinaro went on to place fifth at the Olympics.


title: Aaron Pico

text: In addition to wrestling, Pico also competed in boxing and Pankration. Pico won the national PAL championship in 2008 and was national Junior Golden Gloves champion in 2009, he won 'most outstanding boxer' at both tournaments. In Pankration, Pico also was a national champion in 2008. In addition, Pico went to Ukraine in 2010, and won the golden cup European Pankration championship. During this time Pico also won the California state championships in both sports.


title: Aaron Pico

text: Pico signed an endorsement contract with Dethrone Royalty, an MMA lifestyle apparel company owned by Nick Swinmurn, founder of Zappos and ownership partner of the Golden State Warriors.


title: Aaron Pico

text: In early November 2014, Aaron signed a long term unprecedented contract with MMA promoter Bellator MMA and its parent company Viacom, as their new blue chip prospect. Bellator MMA President, Scott Coker stated, "Simply put, Aaron has all the makings of MMA's next great superstar, and to have him here at Bellator MMA is something special. Like many of us in the MMA community, Aaron is someone we've been watching closely over the last few years, and after sitting down with Bob Cook and his team, getting a chance to meet Aaron, and hearing his long-term aspirations, the fit became very obvious."

title: Patricia Morrison

text: Patricia Anne Rainone (born January 14, 1962), better known by her stage name Patricia Morrison, is an American bass guitarist, singer and songwriter. She has worked with Bags, The Gun Club, Fur Bible, The Sisters of Mercy, and the Damned.


title: Patricia Morrison

text: Patricia Anne Rainone was active in the Los Angeles, California punk rock scene even before graduating from high school in 1979, having had an early interest in music; "When I was 12 years old, I saved up every cent to buy a guitar. I went to the guitar shop and realized I could afford the guitar, but not the lessons or a way to get there as my mom worked. So I walk out of the store empty handed, a decision I will always regret" and was a founding member of the Bags. Morrison quipped, 'I started a band with two girlfriends in our late teens then, punk showed up and that decided my future. I had very little to do with it, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but couldn't afford it.'


title: Patricia Morrison

text: Rainone and Alicia Armendariz aka Alice Bag, met at school and formed their first band, "Femme Fatale" in '1975 /1976', later re-named "Masque Era". Initially guided by 'Glitter and Glam', though enamoured by Punk music, they played a few local gigs. A 1977 concert featuring The Germs inspired them to move toward a more Punk sound, and to form "The Bags", with Janet Koontz on guitar. The band wore bags over their heads onstage, Morrison recalls; 'The Bags were playing somewhere very early on and my mother came running out of the driveway yelling 'Patricia you forgot your bag!'; My mother making sure I had a bag to put over my head is a special moment in time.' They released a single "Survive" in 1978, but Morrison left the following year after a falling out with Alice Bag. and went on to co-found Legal Weapon with Kat Arthur in 1980, performing under the single name "Patericia" (sic). The group released an EP called "No Sorrow" in 1981. In the same year she assumed the surname Morrison after marrying Rick Morrison of Catholic Discipline.

text: Asked in a 2003 interview if it was difficult being taken seriously as a female musician in the 1970s, Patricia replied;


title: Patricia Morrison

text: Morrison left "Legal Weapon" and joined The Gun Club in 1982, after persuasion from former Bags drummer Terry Graham. She played bass on their 1984 album The Las Vegas Story and was one of the longer serving band members, before leaving after her second tour in late 1984. Morrison cites that although there were great times playing with The Gun Club and writing songs with singer Jeffrey Lee Pierce, ultimately she found it frustrating due Pierce's un-cooperative approach to business and his self-sabotaging tendencies; "realizing Jeffrey was his own worst enemy and despite loving the band it was going nowhere and I was finding it hard to watch".


title: Patricia Morrison

text: At the start of 1985 and now living in London, Morrison formed the band "Fur Bible" with guitarist Kid Congo Powers, who had also exited the Gun Club after their 1984 U.K. tour. They also invited Tex Perkins, vocalist with Australian band "Beasts Of Bourbon", having met him on the Gun Club's 1983 tour. Tex duly travelled to the UK to join them but was denied entry as he had not secured the necessary visa prior to leaving Australia. "Fur Bible" then played a short tour in Holland as backing band, with Morrison wearing a blonde Dolly Parton wig onstage, to The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, in order to reimburse the Dutch promoter who had paid for Tex's travel. Congo Powers had work permit issues which kept him in Amsterdam until June, by which time Tex was finally able to join them in London. However it proved unsuccessful and Tex returned to Australia. "Fur Bible" released one vinyl E.P. "Plunder The Tombs" and embarked on a two month tour opening for Siouxsie and the Banshees' 'Cities In Dust' tour. "Fur Bible's" final concert was in Maastricht March 1986; the band had a further sixty dates lined up, but during the "'Banshees" tour Morrison had been invited by Andrew Eldritch to join The Sisters of Mercy, (who had supported "The Gun Club" on their 1983 U.K. tour), and she left "Fur Bible". Kid Congo Powers accepted an offer to join Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.


title: Patricia Morrison

text: Morrison played on the 1986 album "Gift" (released under the group name The Sisterhood) and on The Sisters of Mercy's 1987 album "Floodland". and appeared in the promo videos. According to Jennifer Park:


title: Patricia Morrison

text: "The Sisters of Mercy" song "Lucretia My Reflection" was written by Eldritch about Morrison. The lyrics compare her to the historical figure of Lucrezia Borgia. Asked about her favourite memory from "The Sisters of Mercy", Morrison recalled, "Petra, riding my little Arabian horse throughout the magnificent city", (On location for the video shoot of "Dominion"). She left the band at the end of 1989 claiming money that was owed by Eldritch was not paid.


title: Patricia Morrison

text: Due to an ongoing lawsuit with Eldritch, Morrison temporarily ceased working as a musician and instead became a motorcycle courier in London, later telling one interviewer; "I made more money than when I was with Sisters of Mercy, hahaha!". It ended when the bike was stolen, but fortunately by then Morrison was returning to music, and in 1994 released a solo album, "Reflect on This". She put together a band and played a three month European tour, but found some of the musicians lacked the necessary commitment, and dissolved the group on return to the U.K.


title: Patricia Morrison

text: Morrison had been friends with, and a musical fan of, The Damned for 'many years', and in 1996 Captain Sensible suggested she join them to replace bassist Paul Gray, who had been injured by a beer glass thrown from the audience during a concert. That same year Morrison married the Damned's lead singer Dave Vanian in Las Vegas.

title: Trinitarian formula

text: The Trinitarian formula is the phrase "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (; ), or words to that form and effect, referring to the three persons of the Christian Trinity. It is often followed by an "amen".


title: Trinitarian formula

text: The Trinitarian formula is used in baptism as well as in numerous prayers, rites, liturgies, and sacraments. One of its most common uses apart from baptism is when Roman Catholics, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists, and others make the sign of the cross while reciting the formula.


title: Trinitarian formula

text: These words are quoted from a command of the risen Jesus in the Great Commission: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in


title: Trinitarian formula

text: The passage does appear to be quoted in the Didache (7:1-3), and it is mostly accepted as authentic due to its supporting manuscript evidence.


title: Trinitarian formula

text: Nevertheless, some scholars have held the view that the passage is an interpolation on account of its absence from the first few centuries of early Christian quotations, in which case it would be part of an apostolic or early Christian oral tradition from which both the received texts of Matthew and the Didache emerged.


title: Trinitarian formula

text: The view of the passage as an interpolation was in recent times defended by the Jesus Seminar, a nontrinitarian movement active in the 1990s. Critics of the Jesus Seminar described this particular line of argument as eisegesis based on a preconceived conclusion.


title: Trinitarian formula

text: According to the doctrines of Roman Catholicism, Oriental Orthodoxy, Eastern Orthodoxy, and most forms of Protestantism, such as Lutheranism and Anglicanism, a baptism is not valid unless the Trinitarian formula is used in the administration of that sacrament. Consequently, they may not recognize religious communities that baptize without this formula – "e.g.," Unitarians, Branhamists, Frankists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Oneness Pentecostals, all of whom deny the Trinity – as Christian religions. This is also the case with baptisms within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church). Although LDS members baptize with the same Trinitarian formula, they reject the Nicene Trinitarian conception and regard the three persons of the Trinity as being distinct personages united not in substance, but in dominion and purpose.


title: Trinitarian formula

text: Converts to Trinitarian denominations from Mormonism and other nontrinitarian denominations have to be baptized in the name of the (Nicene) Trinity. Other faiths (Frankists, Oneness Pentecostals, and Branhamists in particular) use the formula "In the name of Jesus Christ" (based on Acts 2:38) for baptism, and in turn re-baptize converts who were first baptized under the Trinitarian formula, sometimes claiming that such persons would not have been previously aware that "Jesus is the Lord".


title: Trinitarian formula

text: Baptism according to the Trinitiarian formula is seen as being a basis for Christian ecumenism, the concept of unity amongst Christians belonging to different Christian denominations.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: The Real World: California (retrospectively referred to as The Real World: Los Angeles, to distinguish it from subsequent installments of the series) is the second season of MTV's reality television series "The Real World", which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months, as the cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. It is the first season of "The Real World" to be filmed in the Pacific States region of the United States, specifically in California.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: When this season first aired in 1993, the original title for this season was "The Real World: California". Years later, the season's title was retroactively changed to "The Real World: Los Angeles", mainly to avoid confusion with later seasons filmed in California (, , and ). The show also expanded from 13 half-hour episodes to 21.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: This season was the only one in which two housemates, Tami and Dominic, picked up a third housemate, Jon, at his home in a state other than the one in which the show would be set, and traveled to their new home in a Winnebago RV. Journeying in a Winnebago would later become a regular motif on the spinoff show, "Road Rules". This was the first season in which cast members left the show during filming: David Edwards, who was asked to leave by his housemates, and Irene Berrera-Kearns, because she got married. Consequently, it was the first season to feature a season total of more than seven cast members, as two additional castmates, Glen Naessens and Beth Anthony, moved in to replace Edwards and Berrera-Kearns. In what would become the norm for "The Real World", the entire cast was sent on a trip abroad, whereas in the previous season, only the women were.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: The house in which the cast lived now featured a small sound proof room for the weekly "confessional" cast interviews, and became known itself by that name.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: The $2 million (1993 dollars), three-story, , four bedroom, four bathroom house is located at 30 30th Avenue in Venice Beach, one block east of the beach. According to the owner, after the filming of the series was complete, the interior and exterior of the house were repainted back to their original pink color. The only room not to be repainted was the room that was renovated into the Confessional room, which was painted blue with white clouds for the filming of the series. When the current owners purchased the house in 1996, the house was painted light blue/gray with a white trim and the interior pink carpeting was changed to gray. A sign outside the house read:

title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: The show was satirized in the October 2, 1993 episode of the sketch comedy show, "Saturday Night Live". The episode, which was hosted by Shannen Doherty, featured a skit depicting a "Real World" cast patterned after the Los Angeles cast, and poked fun at the discussions of racism, bigotry and political differences that served as a recurring theme that season.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: The incident that led to David's eviction was parodied in a 1993 episode of the sketch comedy show, "The Jon Stewart Show", with Jon Stewart portraying Tami in the skit.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: A skit called "The Mad Real World: Hoboken" that appeared in a Season 1 episode of "Chappelle's Show" parodied "The Real World" franchise but is particularly aimed at the events of "The Real World: Los Angeles". During the DVD commentary Dave Chappelle notes that he is a friend of David Edwards, and helped to get him on the cast of "The Real World". He notes that much of the impetus for the "Chappelle Show" skit was his perception that the casts of "The Real World" often display their racist perceptions of African Americans, especially black men, as typified by the incident with Edwards.


title: The Real World: Los Angeles

text: At the 2008 "The Real World Awards Bash", David and Tami received a nomination for "Best Fight", David also received one in the "Gone Baby Gone" category, while Beth was in the running for the "Roommate You Love to Hate" award.

title: That's Amore

text: "That's Amore" is a 1953 song by composer Harry Warren and lyricist Jack Brooks, and became a major hit and signature song for Dean Martin, who first recorded and released it that year. "Amore" () means "love" in Italian.

As an iconic song, "That's Amore" remains a secondary signature song.


title: That's Amore

text: Music critic Joe Queenan has described the song as "A charming, if goofy, parody of popular Neapolitan organ-grinder music," and observed "That's Amore was one of many songs from the early Fifties that helped rehabilitate Italy's image as a land of magic and romance that had somehow been lured from its festive moorings by the glum fascist Benito Mussolini."


title: That's Amore

text: The track that was used for the single released by Capitol Records was recorded on August 13, 1953, (Session 3098; Master 11694-6) at Capitol Records' studios at 5505 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, California, with the orchestra conducted by Dick Stabile.

title: Little Buddha

text: Tibetan Buddhist monks from a monastery in Bhutan, led by Lama Norbu, are searching for a child who is the rebirth of a great Buddhist teacher, Lama Dorje. Lama Norbu and his fellow monks believe they have found a candidate for the child in whom Lama Dorje is reborn: an American boy named Jesse Conrad, the young son of an architect and a teacher who live in Seattle. The monks come to Seattle in order to meet the boy.


title: Little Buddha

text: Jesse is fascinated with the monks and their way of life, but his parents, Dean and Lisa, are wary, and that wariness turns into near-hostility when Norbu announces that he wants to take Jesse back with him to Bhutan to be tested. Dean changes his mind, however, when one of his close friends and colleagues commits suicide because he went broke. Dean then decides to travel to Bhutan with Jesse. In Nepal, two children who are also candidates for the rebirth are encountered, Raju and Gita.

title: Little Buddha

text: In ancient Nepal (Lumbini), a prince called Siddhartha turns his back on his comfortable and protected life, and sets out on a journey to solve the problem of universal suffering. As he progresses, he learns profound truths about the nature of life, consciousness, and reality. Ultimately, he battles Mara (a demon representing the ego), who repeatedly tries to divert and destroy Siddhartha. Through the final complete realization of the illusory nature of his own ego, Siddhartha attains enlightenment and becomes the Buddha.


title: Little Buddha

text: In the final scenes of the movie, it is found that all three children are rebirths of Lama Dorje, separate manifestations of his body (Raju), speech (Gita), and mind (Jesse). A ceremony is held and Jesse's father also learns some of the essential truths of Buddhism. His work finished, Lama Norbu enters a deep state of meditation and dies. As the funeral ceremony begins, Lama Norbu speaks to the children, seemingly from a higher plane, telling them to have compassion; and just before the credits roll the children are seen distributing his ashes.

title: Little Buddha

text: Three Tibetan incarnate high lamas, also known as tulkus or rinpoche, have roles in the film. "I wanted the real thing," said Mr. Bertolucci. The Venerable Khyongla Rato Rinpoche plays the part of the Abbot of the monastery in Bhutan. Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche appears near the end of the film, when Lama Norbu is shown meditating overnight, and as a consultant, supervised every gesture and ritual performed by Tibetan monks. Sogyal Rinpoche appears in the earlier segments in the role of Khenpo Tenzin. In a later documentary about Khyentse Rinpoche entitled "Words of my Perfect Teacher", his role in the film is discussed along with a short interview with Bertolucci.

title: Little Buddha

text: The film received mixed to positive reviews, as it currently holds a 65% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 26 reviews. The consensus summarizes: ""Little Buddha"s storytelling may be too childlike to best service its audacious plot, but Bernardo Bertolucci's direction and Vittorio Storaro's cinematography conspire to deliver a visually strong epic."


title: Little Buddha

text: Roger Ebert gave the film only two stars, and called it "a slow-moving and pointless exercise by Bertolucci, whose 'The Last Emperor' was a much superior telling of a similar story about a child who is chosen for great things."
