With the aid of <mask>, the lord of Athens (1204–1225), he seized, in 1209 or 1210, the fortress of Acrocorinth where first Leo Sgouros, and then Theodore Komnenos Doukas, brother of <mask> of Epirus had resisted the attacks of the crusaders. In the months that followed, Nauplia was also taken, and early in 1212 the stronghold of Argos, where Theodore Komnenos Doukas had stored the treasure of the Church of Corinth, likewise fell into the hands of <mask> and <mask>. When Albertino and Rolandino of Canossa, the lords of Thebes had left their town, the lordship of Thebes was divided equally between <mask> and the lord of Athens. <mask> I sent to France, mainly to Champagne, for young knights to occupy the newly conquered lands and the fiefs of those who had returned to the west. Under <mask> the assignment of fiefs and the obligations which went with them were reviewed before the barons assembled in a great parliament at Andravida.Thus a dozen or so great baronies came into being in the principality, and those who received the titles to them made up with their many vassals the High Court of Achaea. At the time of the conquest much ecclesiastical property had been secularized and, despite the demands of the clergy, this had not been returned to the churches. The Chronicle of the Morea reports that when the churches refused to provide their fair share

Furthermore, <mask> was also accused of treating the Greek priests as serfs because their numbers had considerably increased, since the Greek prelates showed no hesitation in conferring orders on peasants to permit them to escape the burdens of serfdom. These events resulted in a prolonged conflict with the church. First the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople, Gervasius promulgated a decree of excommunication against <mask> and laid an interdict upon Achaea. Upon the request of <mask>, however, on 11 February 1217 Pope Honorius <mask> (1216–1227) declared that the patriarch was to relax the sentence within a week after the receipt of the papal letter.Then the patriarch sent out a legate who laid a new interdict upon the Principality of Achaea. But his act was again qualified by the pope as usurpation of the power of the Holy See. Next the papal legate Cardinal Giovanni Colonna who was travelling through the Peloponnese in 1218 excommunicated <mask> because of the prince's contumacious retention of certain abbeys, churches, rural parishes, and ecclesiastical goods. Upon the request of the local high clergy, the pope confirmed <mask>'s excommunication on 21 January 1219. The pope even declared <mask> to be an enemy of God “more inhuman than Pharaoh”. The conflict lasted some five years, until 1223 when <mask> decided to negotiate and sent one of his knights to Rome. Finally on September 4, 1223 Pope Honorius <mask> confirmed the accord that had been drawn up between the prince and the church of Achaea.According to the

He was the main ghost writer for the latter's autobiography entitled Friends Not Masters, published 1967.After the death of his old mentor, he wrote the biography, Ayub Khan : Pakistan's First Military Ruler, which gave a different story altogether, prompting people to question 'who is the real Ayub?' The last official act of President Ayub Khan before handing over power was to invite <mask> <mask> to lunch with his family and bestow on him the high civil award of Hilal-i-Quaid-i-Azam. Through some palace intrigues, President Yahya Khan assumed power on 25 March 1969. A day or two before that he had had a serious altercation with <mask> <mask> who wanted Ayub Khan to continue.

Perhaps his most recognizable characterization was the voice of the stop-motion animation figure called "Speedy Alka-Seltzer", featured in television commercials for more than 50 years. Early life
<mask> was born in Detroit, Michigan, on March 16, 1927, and graduated in 1949 from Michigan State University (MSU), where he majored in radio broadcasting and puppetry.

In January 1949, as a senior at MSU, <mask> got a call to do a radio commercial for WXYZ, Detroit.After the show, the director asked him to be on call for all the children's voices as well as those of small, talking animals on all three network radio shows produced by WXYZ: The Lone Ranger, Green Hornet and Challenge of the Yukon. <mask> was a member of the cast of The Hudson Sketchbook, the "first regularly scheduled TV program to go on the air in Detroit," on WWJ-TV. In 1952, after performing in an episode of The Green Hornet, WXYZ station manager Jack McCarthy referred <mask> to Forrest Owen of Wade Advertising. Owen showed <mask> a rendering of a proposed product spokesman for their client, Alka-Seltzer and had him record a voice audition. Four months later, <mask> was notified that he had been selected as the voice for Speedy Alka-Seltzer as well as the voice of Sticky, the Vaseline mascot. <mask> moved to Los Angeles where he continued making commercials as Speedy Alka-Seltzer and also provided voices for other commercials, such as Alka-Seltzer, Oscar Mayer, the Campbell Soup Kids, and Bob's Big Boy. <mask> recorded his first Speedy Alka-Seltzer television commercial in 1953, doing a total of 225 in his career.In 1953, <mask> was

 educator.His work includes a number of books, an educational DVD set, as well as radio and podcast interviews. Key interest areas
<mask> has published extensively on themes ranging from therapy with children and adolescents, couples therapy, depression, eating disorders, holocaust survivors and their families, trans-generational trauma, school refusal, suicide and teaching family therapy. Publications
<mask> has authored and co-authored numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, chapters in compilations, and books. His work has been translated and published in other languages. The Children's Depression Scale (CDS), co-authored with Miriam Tisher, has been used in many countries to research depression in children, and has been translated into Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Hindu and Arabic. His other books are similarly highly regarded, having been extensively reviewed and on best seller lists, with some titles have been translated and published in other languages, such as Hebrew and French. Storytelling and critical appraisal
Much of <mask>'s published work demonstrates two core values.The first being the value of storytelling as a medium for learning. In his books Corrupting the Young and Resilience, co-authored with his wife Tesse <mask>, <mask> uses a collection of short to medium stories to give readers a view into the clinician's room and insight into how family therapy works. <mask> offers "a journeyman style of learning... the reader being left to come to their own construction; where the author, therapist and teacher facilitates rather than

 instructs". With the story format, <mask> "calls upon the imagination as well as the intellect and leads to deeper insight". The other core value demonstrated in <mask>'s work is the importance of exposing one’s practice for critical appraisal. He was one of the pioneers in Australia of video recording his work and writing in some depth about the subtleties of doing family therapy. Further, he invited other psychotherapy professionals to provide commentary on his clinical practice, such as in his book A Family in Therapy, co-authored with Peter McCallum, and its updated republication The Answer Within.<mask> continued this practice of invited commentary for a number of his major journal articles. With the release of his highly praised DVD-set Behind Closed Doors, <mask> further expanded the format of making his work transparent by demonstration, and thereby open to review. Bibliography

<mask> spent his early career at the Bouverie Clinic under Dr Geoff Goding - broadly regarded as the person most instrumental in introducing family therapy to Australia. In 1979, when he founded Williams Road Family Therapy Centre, <mask> envisioned "an independent family therapy institute away from the constraints of bureaucracies", according to Stagoll. The founding of the Centre was a positive development that made its own contribution to the flourishing of family therapy in Australia. It created a collegial atmosphere for learning through its summer schools, in addition to having an open system of working and an "open door policy" for its students. In addition to his work at Williams Road Family Therapy Centre, <mask> has delivered numerous other presentation lectures and workshops on clinical psychotherapy and family therapy.

<mask> (; born February 10, 1951, Astara, Azerbaijan SSR, USSR) – is an Azerbaijani historian of philosophy, culture, sociologist, Orientalist, specialist in the field of history of ancient and medieval philosophy of the Middle East and Azerbaijan. He received a doctorate of sciences in philosophy (1989) and became a professor (1991). Biography
<mask>v was born on February 10, 1951 in Astara, Azerbaijan. His parents were secondary school teachers. His maternal grandfather was engaged in philanthropic activities, and his paternal grandfather was a connoisseur of the Qur’an and Islamic knowledge. His father was a public figure and was awarded an “Honored Teacher of the Azerbaijan SSR”. After finishing secondary school in 1968, he studied at the faculty of English and Azerbaijani languages at the Institute of Foreign Languages (now the Azerbaijan University of Languages - AUL).He graduated with honors from AUL in 1973. In the same year he was assigned as a teacher of the English language at AUL. He served in the Soviet army in 1974.

 universities of United States and Europe as a visiting professor and senior research fellow. Key ideas and concepts
In his monograph “Azerbaijani thinkers about human nature” (Baku, 1986), <mask> Azimov considers Azerbaijani medieval philosophical thought in the context of the philosophy of the Middle East, and compares it with classical Greek, in particular, Hellenistic philosophy.For the first time in the Soviet and Western academic literature, he has undertaken a semiotic approach to the medieval Middle Eastern and Azerbaijani culture and philosophy. As a result, the idea of polyfunctionality of medieval Muslim cultural texts, and the classification of the languages of medieval cultures, including philosophy of Middle East and Azerbaijan, were theoretically grounded. Medieval Islamic philosophical thought was usually defined as materialistic pantheism in soviet academic literature. For an accurate terminological and conceptual definition of God and His relationship to the world and man in medieval Islamic philosophy, <mask> Azimov thought up a new term - “Theopantism”  (Greek words, “theos” – “God”, and  “panth”, “pass” - “all”,  which literally means that “God is all”). <mask> Azimov redefined the Islamic medieval philosophy as a “universal undivided all-unity in diversities”. In this connection, <mask> Azimov proposes two alternative conceptions for medieval Islamic philosophy - the “mythological-poetic panentism” and the “transcendental philosophy

texts: of the all-unity”, i.e. religious, mystical and philosophical-intellectualistic Theopantism.He substantiates that Middle Eastern, including Azerbaijani medieval religious, mystical-poetic and philosophical thoughts are adequate to these two forms. He also advocates the non-dialectical nature of binary oppositions or “dual code” in medieval Islamic thought, in which, according to Prof. Azimov, the medieval Islamic thinkers themselves have clearly distinguished between the logical basis of knowing and the immanent ontological causality of the material world. The meanings of binary oppositions in Islam refer to the highest order of traditional metaphysical Reality, devoid of material space-time dimensions. In the meantime, modern researchers, beginning with the pantheist Baruch Spinoza, identify, confuse, and finally mix the logical basis of the knowledge of the Superior Reality with ontological basis (causality) of the existence or formation of the material world. And thus they blur the line between transcendentalism of God, manifested in the worlds of noumena and phenomena, and the immanent ontological causality of material beings. <mask> Azimov also analyzed the modern Western concepts of Orientalism in colonial and post-colonial perspectives. The second monograph by <mask> Azimov “The problem of man in the religious and philosophical doctrines of Zoroastrianism and Islam” (Baku, 2009) continues his studies in eternally “old” and “new” questions about

texts: human existence - ideas related to the valuable world of man in the religious and philosophical doctrines of Zoroastrianism and Islam.The problems of religious and philosophical anthropology of Zoroastrianism and Islam in domestic and foreign academic literature have not been analytically studied before. <mask> Azimov has made the problem of man as the object of his studies in this monograph. In it, the author adheres to the concept of continuity//discontinuity of philosophical thoughts in the countries of the Middle East, including Azerbaijan, Central Eurasia and the Mediterranean, which is based on a contrasting examination of cultures and civilizations in the given region. In connection with this development, within the framework of a strict chronology of the era of antiquity, more precisely before the emergence of Islam in the East and Christianity in the West, it introduces the concept of a Central Eurasian geocultural continuum. <mask> Azimov emphasizes that Zoroastrian philosophical tradition is an integral part of the given cultural space and time. In the past it was a kind of universal language of the ancient Middle East and Azerbaijan. According to this conception, the direction of philosophical developments in the region changes due to the emergence of Christianity and Islam.For the first time, <mask> Azimov exposes the paradigms of the Zoroastrian and Islamic religious-philosophical anthropologies, picks up their convergences. The Zoroastrian

 and Islamic religious, mystical and philosophical anthropologies are considered not only as an aggregate of beliefs, cults, rituals, but also as definite historical forms of values-laden knowledge about human existence. K. Azimov argues that the sociocultural context, the ideological and worldview contents of Zoroastrianism and Islam, in which traditions play a significant role, set up a common base for philosophical paradigms on the issues of man. According to this conception, the state of things is intimately connected with the nature of the prophetic cultures, which represent not a type of free will, but an exemplar of knowing the totality of immutable truths, revealed by a true creator, i.e. God and his messengers. Reception and review
Soviet specialists spoke positively about the Zoroastrian and Islamic religious, mystical and philosophical anthropology, argued by <mask> Azimov. This is evidenced by the positive feedbacks, comments and recommendation letters written by well-known Western experts in the field .Modern Western experts gave both the positive and critical assessments.

<mask> (28 May 1912 – 30 September 1990) was an Australian writer who published 12 novels, three short-story collections, and eight plays, from 1935 to 1987. <mask>'s fiction employs humour, florid prose, shifting narrative vantage points and stream of consciousness techniques. In 1973 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, "for an epic and psychological narrative art which has introduced a new continent into literature", as it says in the Swedish Academy's citation, the only Australian to have been awarded the prize. <mask> was also the inaugural recipient of the Miles Franklin Award. Childhood and adolescence
<mask> was born in Knightsbridge, London, to <mask> and Ruth (née Withycombe), both Australians, in their apartment overlooking Hyde Park, London on 28 May 1912. His family returned to Sydney, Australia, when he was six months old. As a child he lived in a flat with his sister, a nanny, and a maid while his parents lived in an adjoining flat.In 1916 they moved to a house in Elizabeth Bay that many years later became a nursing home, Lulworth House, the residents of which included Gough Whitlam, Neville Wran, and <mask>'s partner Manoly Lascaris. At the age of four, <mask> developed asthma, a condition that had taken the life of his maternal grandfather. <mask>'s health was fragile throughout his childhood, which precluded his participation in many childhood activities. He loved the theatre, which he first visited at an early age (his mother took him to see The Merchant of Venice at the age of six). This love was expressed at home when he performed private rites in the garden and danced for his

At the age of ten, <mask> was sent to Tudor House School, a boarding school in Moss Vale in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, in an attempt to abate his asthma.It took him some time to adjust to the presence of other children. At boarding school, he started to write plays. Even at this early age, <mask> wrote about palpably adult themes. In 1924, the boarding school ran into financial trouble, and the headmaster suggested for <mask> to be sent to a public school in England, a suggestion that his parents accepted. <mask> struggled to adjust to his new surroundings at Cheltenham College, England. He later described it as "a four-year prison sentence". <mask> withdrew socially and had a limited circle of acquaintances.Occasionally, he would holiday with his parents at European locations, but their relationship remained distant. However he did spend time with his cousin Jack Withycombe during this period, and Jack's daughter Elizabeth Withycombe became a mentor to him while he was writing his first book of poems, Thirteen Poems between the years 1927–29. While at school in London, <mask> made one close friend, Ronald Waterall, an older boy who shared similar interests. <mask>'s biographer, David Marr, wrote that "the two men would walk, arm-in-arm, to London shows; and stand around stage doors crumbing for a glimpse of their favourite stars, giving a practical demonstration of a chorus girl's high kick... with appropriate vocal accompaniment". When Waterall left school, <mask> withdrew

 again. He asked his parents if he could leave school to become an actor. The parents compromised and allowed him to finish school early if he came home to Australia to try life on the land.His parents felt that he should work on the land rather than become a writer and hoped that his work as a jackaroo would temper his artistic ambitions. <mask> spent two years working as a stockman at Bolaro, a  station near Adaminaby, on the edge of the Snowy Mountains, in southeastern Australia. Although he grew to respect the land and his health improved, it was clear that he was not cut out for this life. Travelling the world

From 1932 to 1935, <mask> lived in England, studying French and German literature at King's College, Cambridge University. During his time at Cambridge he developed a romantic attraction to a young man who had come to King's College to become an Anglican priest. <mask> dared not speak of his feelings for fear of losing the friendship and, like many other gay men of that period, he feared that his sexuality would doom him to a lonely life. Then, one night, the student priest, after an awkward liaison with two women, admitted to <mask> that women meant nothing to him sexually.That became <mask>'s first love affair. During <mask>'s time at Cambridge he published a collection of poetry entitled The Ploughman and Other Poems, and wrote a play named Bread and Butter Women, which was later performed by an amateur group (which included his sister Suzanne) at the tiny Bryant's Playhouse in Sydney. After being admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1935, <mask> briefly settled in London, where he

There, the young author thrived creatively for a time, writing several unpublished works and reworking Happy Valley, a novel that he had written while jackarooing. In 1937, <mask>'s father died, leaving him ten thousand pounds in inheritance. The fortune enabled him to write full-time in relative comfort. Two more plays followed before he succeeded in finding a publisher for Happy Valley.The novel was received well in London but poorly in Australia. He began writing another novel, Nightside, but abandoned it before its completion after receiving negative comments, a decision that he later admitted regretting. In 1936, <mask> met the painter Roy De Maistre, 18 years his senior, who became an important influence in his life and work. The two men never became lovers but remained firm friends. In <mask>'s own words, "He became what I most needed, an intellectual and aesthetic mentor". They had many similarities: they were both gay and they both felt like outsiders in their own families; as a result they both had ambivalent feelings about their families and backgrounds, yet both maintained close and lifelong links with their families, particularly their mothers. They also both appreciated the benefits of social standing and connections and Christian symbolism and biblical themes are common in both artists' work.<mask> dedicated his first novel Happy Valley to De Maistre and acknowledged De Maistre's influence on his writing. In 1947, De Maistre's painting Figure in a Garden (The Aunt) was used as the cover for the first edition of <mask>'s The Aunt's Story. <mask>

 bought many of De Maistre's paintings. In 1974 <mask> gave all his paintings by De Maistre to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Towards the end of the 1930s, <mask> spent time in the United States, including Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and New York City, which were artistic hotbeds at the time, where he wrote The Living and the Dead. By the time World War II broke out, he had returned to London and joined the British Royal Air Force. He was accepted as an intelligence officer, and was posted to the Middle East.He served in Egypt, Palestine, and Greece before the war was over. While in the Middle East, he had an affair with a Greek army officer, Manoly Lascaris, who was to become his life partner. <mask> and Lascaris lived together in Cairo for six years before moving to a small farm purchased by <mask> at Castle Hill, near Sydney, in 1948. After the death of <mask>'s mother in 1963, they moved into a large house, Highbury, in Centennial Park, where they lived for the rest of their lives. Growth of writing career

After the war, <mask> once again returned to Australia, buying an old house in Castle Hill, now a Sydney suburb but then semi-rural. He named the house "The Dogwoods," after trees he planted there. In this house, he settled down with Lascaris, the Greek he had met during the war.They lived there for 18 years, selling flowers, vegetables, milk, and cream as well as pedigree puppies. During these years he started to make a reputation for himself as a writer, publishing The Aunt's Story and The Tree of Man in the United States in 1955 and shortly after in the United Kingdom. The Tree of Man was released

texts: to rave reviews in the United States, but in what had become a typical pattern, it was panned in Australia. <mask> had doubts about whether to continue writing after his books were largely dismissed in Australia (three of them having been called 'un-Australian' by critics), but, in the end, he decided to persevere. His first breakthrough in Australia came when his next novel, Voss, won the inaugural Miles Franklin Literary Award. In 1961, <mask> published Riders in the Chariot. It was to become both a bestseller and a prizewinner, gaining him a second Miles Franklin Award.In 1963, <mask> and Lascaris decided to sell the house at Castle Hill. A number of <mask>'s works from the 1960s depict the fictional town of Sarsaparilla, including his collection of short stories, The Burnt Ones, and the play, The Season at Sarsaparilla. By now, he had clearly established his reputation as one of the world's great authors, but remained an essentially private person, resisting opportunities for interviews and public appearances although his circle of friends had widened significantly. In 1968, <mask> wrote The Vivisector, a searing character portrait of an artist. Many people drew links to the Sydney painter John Passmore (1904–84) and <mask>'s friend, the painter Sidney Nolan, but <mask> denied the connections. <mask> was an art collector who had, as a young man, been deeply impressed by his friends Roy De Maistre and Francis Bacon, and later said he wished he had been an artist. By the mid-1960s, he had also become interested in encouraging dozens of young and less established artists, such as James Clifford, Erica

That friendship ended when <mask> felt that <mask>, a heroin addict, was deceitful and pushy about selling his paintings. A portrait of <mask> by Louis Kahan won the 1962 Archibald Prize. <mask> decided not to accept any more prizes for his work, and he declined both the $10,000 Britannia Award and another Miles Franklin Award. <mask> was approached by Harry M. Miller to work on a screenplay for Voss but nothing came of it. He became an active opponent of literary censorship and joined a number of other public figures in signing a statement of defiance against Australia's decision to participate in the Vietnam War. His name had sometimes been mentioned as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature, but in 1971, after losing to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, he wrote to a friend: That Nobel Prize!I hope I never hear it mentioned again. I certainly don't want it; the machinery behind it seems a bit dirty, when we thought that only applied to Australian awards. In my case to win the prize would upset my life far too much, and it would embarrass me to be held up to the world as an Australian writer when, apart from the accident of blood, I feel I am temperamentally a cosmopolitan Londoner. Nevertheless, in 1973, <mask> did accept the Nobel Prize "for an epic and psychological narrative art, which has introduced a new continent into literature". His cause was said to have been championed by a Scandinavian diplomat resident in Australia. <mask> enlisted Nolan to travel to Stockholm to accept the

 prize on his behalf. The award had an immediate impact on his career, as his publisher doubled the print run for The Eye of the Storm and gave him a larger advance for his next novel.<mask> used the money from the prize to establish a trust to fund the Patrick <mask> Award, given annually to established creative writers who have received little public recognition. He was invited by the House of Representatives to be seated on the floor of the House in recognition of his achievement. <mask> declined, explaining that his nature could not easily adapt itself to such a situation. The last time such an invitation had been extended was in 1928, to Bert Hinkler. <mask> was made Australian of the Year for 1974, but in a typically rebellious fashion, his acceptance speech encouraged Australians to spend the day reflecting on the state of the country. Privately, he was less than enthusiastic about it. In a letter to Marshall Best on 27 January 1974, he wrote: "Something terrible happened to me last week.There is an organisation which chooses an Australian of the Year, who has to appear at an official lunch in Melbourne Town Hall on Australia Day. This year I was picked on as they had run through all the swimmers, tennis players, yachtsmen". Personal life
<mask> and Lascaris hosted many dinner parties at Highbury, their Centennial Park home, in a leafy part of the affluent Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. In <mask>, A Life, his biographer David Marr portrays <mask> as a genial host but one who easily fell out with friends. <mask> supported the conservative, business oriented Liberal Party of Australia until the election of

Failing health
During the 1970s, <mask>'s health began to deteriorate: he had issues with his teeth, his eyesight was failing and he had chronic lung problems.It was during this time that <mask> became more openly political. He began to occasionally comment on current issues. He was among the first group of the Companions of the Order of Australia in 1975 but resigned in June 1976 in protest at the dismissal of the Whitlam government in November 1975 by the Governor-General Sir John Kerr. In 1979, his novel The Twyborn Affair was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, but <mask> requested that it to be removed to give younger writers a chance to win. (The prize was won by Penelope Fitzgerald, who ironically was just four years younger than <mask>.) Soon after, <mask> announced that he had written his last novel, and from then on, he would write only for radio or the stage. Director Jim Sharman introduced himself to <mask> while walking down a Sydney street.This occurred some time after <mask> had seen a politically loaded stage revue by Sharman, Terror Australis, which had been panned by Sydney newspaper critics. <mask> had written a letter to the editor of a newspaper defending the show.

 friends and Sharman and his theatrical circle, as well as his visual style as a director, would inspire <mask> to write a couple of new plays, notably Big Toys with its satirical portrayal of a posh and vulgar upper-class Sydney society. A few years later, Sharman asked <mask> if he could make a film of The Night the Prowler. <mask> agreed and wrote the screenplay for the film. In 1981, <mask> published his autobiography, Flaws in the Glass: a self-portrait, which explored issues about which he had publicly said little, such as his homosexuality, his dislike of the "subservient" attitude of Australian society towards Britain and the Royal family, and also the distance he had felt from his mother.On Palm Sunday, 1982, <mask> addressed a crowd of 30,000 people, calling for a ban on uranium mining and for the destruction of nuclear weapons.
