FilmographyStolen Moments, a 1920 silent picture in which she starred with Rudolph Valentino, was one of her few film projects, and it included a small part for her infant daughter Peggy as well. In 1932, she starred in the first musical film version of Carmen, a British Film Company picture given the unfortunate name of Gipsy Blood (sometimes billed as Gypsy Blood but usually referred to by Namara as "The Bloody Gypsy").

A resident of Hanover, <mask> was also the delegate for Morris County to the fourth assembly of the Provincial Congress of New Jersey in 1776 and served as chairman of the constitutional committee. He was the father of <mask>, eighth president of Princeton University. Early life
<mask> was born on February 2, 1722 in Malden, Massachusetts. His father, also named <mask>, was a poor farmer who died about 18 months after his birth from a "nervous fever". Due to his father's death, the responsibility of raising <mask> fell to his mother, <mask> and an assortment of uncles and sisters. He moved several times through his youth, resulting in him living with various family members.At fourteen, <mask> went to find vocational work, but after an unsuccessful search for a suitable trade, he began preparing for college on the advice of his brother-in-law; no one in <mask>'s family had attended college before. To gather funds, he got a probate court to approve an arrangement to sell land inherited from his father's estate. To prepare academically, <mask> spent a year and a half at a grammar school learning Latin, a standard practice at the time for those interested in attending college. Years at Harvard

<mask> enrolled at Harvard College in the summer of 1740 at the age of 18 and a half. <mask> recounted his college experience as demanding, though he placed this feeling on his excessive studying. Moreover, he was a studious student who avoided trouble; indeed, he won three scholarships and became Scholar of the House while there. In his junior year, he began a personal diary that he continued for over 40 years.He graduated from Harvard in July 1744 in a class of thirty, and afterwards, he proceeded to teach a school in Sutton, Massachusetts for one year. While at Harvard, <mask> was significantly influenced by sermons given by Gilbert Tennet and George Whitefield. Religion
Throughout the early years of his life, <mask> was constantly confronted by religion. His household was pious, and his sisters would audibly read religious tracts to

 him. In Malden, he received much religious education from the local Congregationalist church which instilled strict Congregationalism throughout the town. Though, the biggest religious influence on <mask> came from the books he read. Malden had a connection to one of the most prominent literary critics in New England, Michael Wigglesworth.As a result, Wiggleworth's best-selling poem The Day of Doom was read frequently in the <mask> household and had a profound effect on <mask>'s outlook. The poem was also reprinted in the New England Primer, the quintessential textbook at the time for the region, which <mask> read from. Ministry

In the summer of 1745, <mask> intended to follow Whitefield to Georgia to take a position at his orphanage, Bethesda Academy. However, upon meeting Whitefield in Elizabethtown, New Jersey at Jonathan Dickinson's home, he was informed by Whitefield that he could not be offered a position due to a paucity of funds. When his position at Whitefield's orphanage fell through, <mask> consulted with Presbyterian leaders Jonathan Dickinson and Aaron Burr Sr. As a result of the meeting, he switched from his Congregationalist upbringing to Presbyterianism. Additionally, he decided on becoming a pastor for the Hanover Presbyterian Church located in Morris County, New Jersey. In September 1745, he was licensed to preach and began a year-long trial, which culminated with him being ordained and installed as pastor of Hanover Presbyterian Church in November 1746.He remained as pastor for 44 years. Academic career
While <mask> was a devoted minister, he continued his studying, gaining a reputation for his general knowledge and his skill in Hebrew. He was a founding trustee of the College of New Jersey—now Princeton University—in 1748 and served as acting president for a period of eight consecutive months between Jonathan Dickinson's death and the arrival of Samuel Davies. He resigned as trustee in 1764. In 1774, <mask> built and established a Latin school, where he taught at with eight others, including his son Ashbel. Later life and death
Besides his time as pastor, <mask> was also a physician for over thirty years. In his

The <mask> family was predominantly one of Puritan farmers and craftsmen; Malden served as the geographic center for the family. When <mask>'s father died, his mother remarried to John Barrett, though it is considered that <mask> and his stepfather did not have a strong relationship due to no mention by <mask> of him in his autobiography.

D<mask>, O. Carm. (; 24 June 1360 – 1 November 1431) was a Portuguese general of great success who had a decisive role in the 1383-1385 Crisis that assured Portugal's independence from Castile. He later became a mystic and was beatified by Pope Benedict XV, in 1918, and canonised by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009. <mask> is often referred to as the Saint Constable () or as <mask> of Saint Mary (), his religious name. He was count of Barcelos, Ourém and Arraiolos. Family

His grandfather was <mask>, the archbishop of Braga from 1326 until 1349.He was descended from the oldest Portuguese and Galician nobility. About a year after his birth, the child was legitimized by royal decree and so was able to receive a knightly education typical of the offspring of the noble families of the time. At 13 years of age he became page to Queen Leonor. At age 16, he married Leonor de Alvim, a rich young widow. Three children were born to the union, two boys who died early in life, and a girl, Beatriz, who married Afonso, son of King John I and founder of the House of Braganza. Military life
<mask> <mask> began military service in 1373, when he was only 13, and helped stop an invasion from Castile. However, according to his own words, his first military campaigns were no more than skirmishes on the borders of Portugal.He was an impetuous and brave young man who soon showed himself to be an excellent leader. When King Ferdinand I of Portugal died in 1383, his

In order to preserve Portuguese independence, the nobles supported the claim of King Ferdinand's half-brother John, Master of Aviz to the throne. After his first victory over the Castilians, in the Battle of Atoleiros (April 1384), John of Aviz named <mask> <mask> <mask> protector and constable of Portugal, in practice supreme commander of Portugal's armies, and count of Ourém. He was only 24 years old. <mask> <mask> used guerilla tactics trying to dislodge the Castilian army besieging Lisbon in 1384 but plague finally drove them away. In April 1385, John of Aviz was recognized as king by the Cortes.This triggered an invasion of the country by King John I of Castile, in support of his wife's rights to the throne. <mask> <mask> <mask> was engaged against the northern cities loyal to the Castilians. During this time of war, he fed the hungry populations of his Castilian opposition at his own expense. On 14 August 1385, at Aljubarrota he led 6,500 volunteers to victory against a Castilian force of over 30,000, thus ending the threat of annexation. He attributed the victory to the Blessed Virgin, whose name, Maria, was inscribed on his sword. Dedicated to Mary, he fasted on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The banner he chose as his personal standard bore the image of the cross, of Mary and of the saintly knights James and George.At his own expense he built numerous churches and monasteries, among which was the Carmelite church in Lisbon and the church of Our Lady of Victories at Batalha.

He was also made the major majordomo of the realm. Not wanting to give the enemy room to manoeuvre, the king of Portugal and his supreme general took the offensive and raided several Castilian towns, defeating once again a much larger Castilian army at the Battle of Valverde. He continued to watch out for the king of Castile, until his death in 1390. When hostilities ended, he gave the bulk of his wealth to the veterans. Religious life

According to a recent statement by the postulator general of the Carmelite Order, his canonisation was postponed for diplomatic reasons (the Portuguese ambassador indicated that the time was not right). On 3 July 2008 Pope Benedict XVI signed two decrees in Rome, promulgating the heroic virtues of <mask> <mask> <mask> and the authenticity of a miracle that had already been previously confirmed as such by medical and theological commissions. By this act, the pope formally canonised Friar <mask> de Santa <mask> <mask>. The public celebration of his canonisation took place on 26 April 2009 in Saint Peter's Square in the Vatican City. The Carmelites now celebrate St <mask> on 6 November; the date also appointed for his feast in Portugal.The Blessed Nuno Society is a mission society and prayer apostolate officially recognized by the Catholic

title: John Lydgate

texts:
<mask> of Bury (c. 1370 – c. 1451) was an English monk and poet, born in Lidgate, near Haverhill, Suffolk, England. Lydgate's poetic output is prodigious, amounting, at a conservative count, to about 145,000 lines. He explored and established every major Chaucerian genre, except such as were manifestly unsuited to his profession, like the fabliau. In the Troy Book (30,117 lines), an amplified translation of the Trojan history of the thirteenth-century Latin writer Guido delle Colonne, commissioned by Prince Henry (later Henry V), he moved deliberately beyond Chaucer's Knight's Tale and his Troilus, to provide a full-scale epic. The Siege of Thebes (4716 lines) is a shorter excursion in the same field of chivalric epic. Chaucer's The Monk's Tale, a brief catalog of the vicissitudes of Fortune, gives a hint of what is to come in Lydgate's massive Fall of Princes (36,365 lines), which is also derived, though not directly, from Boccaccio's De Casibus Virorum Illustrium. The Man of Law's Tale, with its rhetorical elaboration of apostrophe, invocation, and digression in what is essentially a saint's legend, is the model for Lydgate's legends of St. Edmund (3693 lines) and St. Alban (4734 lines), both local monastic patrons, as well as for many shorter saints' lives, though not for the richer and more genuinely devout Life of Our Lady (5932 lines).Biography

 gambled at cherry stones. I was late to rise and dirty at meals. I was chief shammer of illness". He was admitted to the Benedictine monastery of Bury St Edmunds Abbey in 1382, took novice vows soon after and was ordained as a subdeacon in 1389. Based on a letter from Henry V, <mask> was a student at Oxford University, probably Gloucester College (now Worcester College), between 1406 and 1408.It was during this period that Lydgate wrote his early work, Isopes Fabules, with its broad range of scholastic references. Career

Having literary ambitions (he was an admirer of Geoffrey Chaucer and a friend to his son, Thomas) he sought and obtained patronage for his literary work at the courts of Henry IV of England, Henry V of England and Henry VI of England. His patrons included, amongst many others, the mayor and aldermen of London, the chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral, Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick and Henry V and VI. His main supporter from 1422 was Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester. In 1423 Lydgate was made prior of Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex. He soon resigned the office to concentrate on his travels and writing. He was a prolific writer of poems, allegories, fables and romances.His most famous works were his longer and more moralistic Troy Book (1412–20), a 30,000 line translation of the Latin prose narrative by Guido delle Colonne, Historia destructionis Troiae, the Siege of Thebes which was translated from a French prose redaction of the Roman de Thebes and the Fall of Princes. The Fall of Princes (1431-8), is the last and longest of <mask>'s works. Of

 his more accessible poems, most were written in the first decade of the fifteenth century in a Chaucerian vein: The Complaint of the Black Knight (originally called A Complaynt of a Loveres Lyfe and modelled on Chaucer's The Book of the Duchess); The Temple of Glas (indebted to The House of Fame); The Floure of Curtesy (like the Parlement of Foules, a Valentine's Day Poem); and the allegorical Reason and Sensuality. His short poems tend to be the best; as he grew older his poems grew progressively longer, and it is regarding <mask>'s later poetry that Joseph Ritson's harsh characterization of him is based: 'A voluminous, prosaick and drivelling monk'. Similarly, one twentieth-century historian has described <mask>'s verse as "banal". At one time, the long allegorical poem The Assembly of Gods was attributed to him, but the work is now considered anonymous. <mask> was also believed to have written London Lickpenny, a well-known satirical work; however, his authorship of this piece has been thoroughly discredited.He also translated the poems of Guillaume de Deguileville into English. In his later years he lived and probably died at the monastery of Bury St. Edmunds. At some point in his life he returned to the village of his birth and added his signature and a coded message in a graffito onto a wall at St Mary's Church, Lidgate, discovered as recently as 2014.

Quotations
"Who lesith his fredam, in soth, he lesith all. "—an old proverb Lydgate included in his moral fable The Churl and the Bird
 Lydgate wrote that King Arthur was crowned in "the land of the fairy", and taken in his death by four fairy queens, to Avalon where he lies under a "fairy hill", until he is needed again. Lydgate is also credited with the first known usage of the adage "Needs must" in its fullest form: "He must nedys go that the deuell dryves" in his The Assembly of Gods. Shakespeare later uses it in All's Well That Ends Well. See also

texts: <mask> (born June 22, 1971) is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for twelve seasons, primarily with the St. Louis Rams and the Arizona Cardinals. His career, which saw him ascend from an undrafted free agent to a two-time Most Valuable Player and Super Bowl MVP, is regarded as one of the greatest stories in NFL history. After playing college football at Northern Iowa from 1990 to 1993, <mask> spent four years without being named to an NFL roster. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers in 1994, but released before the regular season and instead played three seasons for the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena Football League (AFL). <mask> landed his first NFL roster spot in 1998 with the Rams, holding a backup position until he was thrust into becoming St. Louis' starter the following season. During his first season as an NFL starting quarterback, <mask> led The Greatest Show on Turf offense to the Rams' first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXIV, earning him league and Super Bowl MVP honors. He won his second league MVP award in 2001, en route to a Super Bowl XXXVI appearance, and also appeared in Super Bowl XLIII with the Cardinals.Considered the NFL's greatest undrafted player, <mask> is the only undrafted player to be named NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP, as well as the only undrafted quarterback to lead his team to a Super Bowl victory. He is also the first quarterback to win the Super Bowl during his first season as the primary starter. <mask> was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 and is the only player inducted to both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and

 the Arena Football Hall of Fame. High school and college
Born in Burlington, Iowa, <mask> played football at Regis High School in Cedar Rapids, graduating in 1989. After graduation from high school, he attended the University of Northern Iowa, graduating in 1993. At UNI, <mask> was third on the Panthers' depth chart until his senior year. When <mask> was finally given the chance to start, he was named the Gateway Conference's Offensive Player of the Year and first team all-conference.Professional career

Green Bay Packers
Following his college career, <mask> went undrafted in the 1994 NFL Draft. He was invited to try out for the Green Bay Packers' training camp in 1994, but was released before the regular season began. <mask> was competing for a spot against Brett Favre, Mark Brunell, and former Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer. While <mask> was with the Packers, the head coach was Mike Holmgren, the quarterback coach was Steve Mariucci, and Andy Reid was the offensive assistant. After his release, <mask> stocked shelves at a Hy-Vee grocery store in Cedar Falls for $5.50 an hour. <mask> often cites this starting point when telling of his rise to NFL stardom in 1999. He also mentions that his deepened dedication to Christianity occurred around 1997.<mask> returned to Northern Iowa and worked as a graduate assistant coach with the football team, while still hoping to get another tryout with an NFL team. Iowa Barnstormers
With no NFL teams willing to give him a chance, <mask> turned to the Arena Football League (AFL) in 1995, and signed with the Iowa Barnstormers. He was named to the AFL's First-team All-Arena in both

Before the 1997 NFL season, <mask> requested and got a tryout with the Chicago Bears, but an injury to his throwing elbow caused by a spider bite sustained during his honeymoon prevented him from attending. In 2000, after <mask>'s breakout NFL season, the AFL used his new fame for the name of its first widely available video game, <mask>'s Arena Football Unleashed. Years later, on August 12, 2011, he would be named as an inductee into the Arena Football Hall of Fame.St. Louis Rams

Amsterdam Admirals
In December 1997 after the St. Louis Rams' season ended, <mask> signed a futures contract with the team. In February 1998, he was allocated to NFL Europe to play for the Amsterdam Admirals, where he led the league in touchdowns and passing yards. His backup at the time was future Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme. Returning to the United States, <mask> spent the 1998 season as St. Louis' third-string quarterback behind Tony Banks and Steve Bono. He ended his season completing only 4 of 11 pass attempts for 39 yards and a 47.2 QB rating. 1999 season
Prior to the 1999 free-agency period, the Rams chose <mask> to be one of the team's five unprotected players in the 1999 NFL expansion draft. <mask> went unselected by the Cleveland Browns, who chose no Rams and whose only quarterback selection was Scott Milanovich.The Rams let Bono leave in free agency and signed Trent Green to be the starter.

After Green suffered a torn ACL via a low hit by Rodney Harrison in a preseason game, Rams coach Dick Vermeil named <mask> as the Rams' starter. In an emotional press conference, Vermeil—who hadn't seen <mask> work with the first-string offense—said, "We will rally around <mask>, and we'll play good football." With the support of running back Marshall Faulk and wide receivers Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Az-Zahir Hakim, and Ricky Proehl, <mask> put together one of the top seasons by a quarterback in NFL history, throwing for 4,353 yards with 41 touchdown passes and a completion rate of 65.1%. The Rams' high-powered offense, run by offensive coordinator Mike Martz, was nicknamed "The Greatest Show on Turf" and registered the first in a string of three consecutive 500-point seasons, an NFL record. <mask> threw three touchdown passes in each of his first three NFL starts, an NFL record until it was surpassed by Patrick Mahomes in 2018.<mask> drew more attention in the Rams' fourth game of the season, a home game against the San Francisco 49ers (who had been NFC West division champions for 12 of the previous 13 seasons). The Rams lost their last 17 meetings with the 49ers, but <mask> proceeded to throw a touchdown pass on each of the Rams' first three possessions of the game, and four touchdowns in the first half alone, to propel the Rams to a 28–10 halftime lead on the way to a 42–20 victory. <mask> finished the game with five touchdown passes, giving him 14 in four games and the Rams a 4–0 record. <mask>'s breakout season from a career in

 anonymity was so unexpected that Sports Illustrated featured him on their October 18 cover with the caption "Who Is This Guy?" He was named the 1999 NFL MVP at the season's end for leading the Rams to their first playoff berth since 1989 (when they were still in Los Angeles) and their first division title since 1985. In the NFL playoffs, <mask> ultimately led the Rams to a victory in Super Bowl XXXIV against the Tennessee Titans. In the game, he threw for two touchdowns and a then Super Bowl-record 414 passing yards, including a 73-yard touchdown to Isaac Bruce when the game was tied with just over two minutes to play, which proved to be the game-winning score.<mask> also set a Super Bowl record by attempting 45 passes without a single interception. For his performance, <mask> was awarded the Super Bowl MVP award. As of 2021, <mask> is the most recent player to win both the NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP in the same year. 2000 season
On July 21, <mask> signed a seven-year contract worth $47 million. He started the 2000 season where he had left off in his record-setting 1999 season, racking up 300 or more passing yards in each of his first six games (tying Steve Young's record) and posting 19 touchdown passes in that stretch. <mask> broke his hand and missed the middle of the season, but Trent Green filled in ably and the <mask> duo led the Rams to the highest team passing yard total in NFL history, with 5,232 net yards. <mask> and Green's combined gross passing yards total was 5,492.In contrast to his previous season, however, <mask>'s turnover rate drastically increased in 2000, as he threw an interception in 5.2% of

 his attempts (compared to just 2.6% in 1999). Despite one of the most productive offensive years by an NFL team, the Rams won only ten games and lost in the wild card round to the New Orleans Saints. In response to the disappointing season, the Rams cut nine of their eleven defensive starters during the offseason, and Trent Green was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. 2001 season
<mask> returned to MVP form in 2001. Although his performance lagged behind his 1999 performance, he amassed a league-high 36 touchdown passes and 4,830 passing yards, and another league high mark in passer rating (101.4). <mask>'s tendency for turnovers carried over from 2000, as he tossed a career-high 22 interceptions (despite completing a career-high 68.7% of his passes), but he still led "The Greatest Show on Turf" to its third consecutive 6–0 start (becoming the first NFL team to do so, later equaled by the 2005–2007 Indianapolis Colts), an NFL-best 14–2 record, and an appearance in Super Bowl XXXVI. <mask> was also named the NFL MVP for the second time in three seasons, giving the Rams their third winner in as many years (running back Marshall Faulk won in 2000).In Super Bowl XXXVI, <mask> threw for 365 yards (then the second-highest, now the sixth-highest total in Super Bowl history) and a passing touchdown along with a rushing touchdown, but his rhythm was disrupted by New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick's defensive game plan and he tossed two costly interceptions which helped stake the heavy-underdog Patriots to a two-touchdown lead. After falling behind to the Patriots 17–3, though, the Rams rallied to tie the game late in

<mask> began the 2002 season as the Rams' starter, but he played poorly, throwing seven interceptions against only one touchdown as the team went 0–3. In the Rams' fourth game, this one against the Dallas Cowboys, <mask> broke a finger on his throwing hand. <mask> attempted to come back later in the season, but his injury allowed him to play only two more games (both losses). In contrast to his 103.0 career passer rating entering the season, <mask> posted a minuscule 67.4 rating in 2002.The following season, <mask> was replaced as the Rams' starting quarterback for good after fumbling six times in the team's opening-day game against the New York Giants. <mask> later revealed that he had previously broken his hand and that it had not fully healed, making it more difficult to grip the football. His successor as the Rams' starting quarterback, Marc Bulger (another relatively unheralded quarterback coming out of college), stepped into the breach and played reasonably well upon replacing <mask>. The Rams signed veteran Chris Chandler as Bulger's backup. The Rams released <mask> on June 1, 2004 with three years left on his contract. New York Giants

 player option worth $6 million. <mask> started the 2004 season as the Giants' starting quarterback, winning five of his first seven games, but following a two-game losing streak, highly touted rookie quarterback Eli Manning was given the starting job.The Giants had a 5–4 win-loss record at the time of <mask>'s benching, finishing at 6–10 overall (going only 1–6 under Manning). Following the season, <mask> chose to void the second year of his contract, and thus became a free agent. Arizona Cardinals

2005 season
In early 2005, <mask> signed a one-year, $4-million contract with the Arizona Cardinals, and was quickly named the starter by coach Dennis Green. <mask> posted three relatively mediocre performances before injuring his groin and being replaced by former starter Josh McCown. McCown performed well enough in the two games <mask> missed that McCown remained the starter. After McCown struggled in two straight games, Green re-inserted <mask> into the starting line-up. After playing fairly well in two consecutive losses (passing for a total of nearly 700 yards), <mask> defeated his former team, the Rams, by a score of 38–28.He passed for 285 yards and three touchdowns while posting a quarterback rating of 115.9. <mask>'s season ended in week 15 when he partially tore his MCL. <mask> signed a new three-year extension with the Cardinals on February 14, 2006.

 touchdowns in a win over San Francisco. Two weeks later, <mask> passed the 20,000-yard passing milestone in his 76th game, the second-quickest of any player in NFL history (<mask> accomplished the feat in one game more than it took record-holder Dan Marino). After three subpar games in Weeks 2-4, <mask> was replaced as quarterback by rookie Matt Leinart in the fourth quarter of week 4.Then-coach Dennis Green stated that <mask> would be the backup quarterback for the remainder of the season. In week 16, Leinart went down with a shoulder injury against the 49ers, forcing <mask> to see his first action since week 4. <mask> filled in nicely, as he was able to hang on for the Cardinals win. In week 17 against the San Diego Chargers, <mask> started again in place of the injured Leinart, throwing for 365 yards (which led the NFL for that week) and a touchdown, though the Chargers were able to hold on for a 27–20 win. 2007 season
Leinart was given the starting quarterback job at the start of the 2007 season. However, in the third game of the season, against the Baltimore Ravens, <mask> came off the bench to relieve an ineffective Leinart during the 4th quarter with the Ravens leading 23–6 at the beginning of the period. <mask> led a furious comeback, as he completed 15 of 20 passes for 258 yards and 2 touchdowns.This brought Arizona to a tie game (23–23), though Arizona would go on to lose the game 26–23 after Baltimore kicked a last-second field goal. On September 30, 2007, during the week four game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, <mask> relieved Leinart again, following another ineffective start. <mask> finished with 14

After Leinart was placed on injured reserve, <mask> was named starter for the remainder of the 2007 season. <mask> passed for a career-high 484 yards against the 49ers in a 37–31 loss on November 25, but had a fumble in the end zone in overtime that was recovered by Tully Banta-Cain, and the Cardinals lost. However, the following week <mask> improved; and the Cardinals earned a victory over the Browns that brought the Cardinals to 6–6 and kept them in the chase for the NFC Wild Card playoff spot. <mask> finished the 2007 season with 27 passing touchdowns, just one shy of the Cardinals franchise record.<mask>'s performance earned him a $1 million bonus for the year, and he fell just short of attaining a 90.0+ passer rating, which would have given him an extra $500,000. 2008 season
Leinart was named the Cardinals' starting quarterback going into the 2008 off-season, but Ken Whisenhunt stated that it would be very possible for <mask> to be the starter before week one of the regular season. Indeed, <mask> was named the starter on August 30, 2008. That season, <mask> had 4,583 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, and a completion percentage of 67.1%. He was the top ranked passer in the National Football Conference for the third time, and only trailed Philip Rivers and Chad Pennington of the AFC in NFL passer rating for the season. <mask> also received FedEx Air Player of the Week honors for his performance during weeks 9 and 11 of the season.

On December 7, 2008, <mask> led the Cardinals to a 34–10 win over his former team, the Rams, securing for the Cardinals the NFC West Division title and their first playoff berth since 1998. It was the Cardinals' first division title since 1975 and third of the post-merger era. As a result, the Cardinals earned a home playoff game, only their second ever, and their first in Arizona. (Despite winning division titles in the 1974 and 1975 seasons in St. Louis, the Cardinals played on the road in the playoffs as a result of the playoff structure in those days.)

title: William I of Guelders and Jülich

texts:
<mask> (5 March 1364 – 16 February 1402, Arnhem) was Duke of Guelders, as <mask>, from 1377 and Duke of Jülich, as <mask> III, from 1393. <mask> was known for his military activities, participating in the Prussian crusade five times and battling with neighbors in France and Brabant throughout his rule. His allies included Holy Roman Emperors, <mask> and Wenceslaus, <mask> of England, and Conrad Zöllner von Rothenstein, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights. During his reign the duchies of Guelders and Jülich were temporarily unified. Childhood and accession

<mask> was the eldest son of <mask> II, Duke of Jülich and Maria of Guelders, half-sister of Reginald III, Duke of Guelders and Edward, Duke of Guelders. The brothers Edward and Reginald disputed the Duchy, with Edward taking control in 1361, imprisoning his brother. In 1366, Edward violated a peace made with <mask>, Holy Roman Emperor and Wenceslaus I, Duke of Luxembourg (who was Duke of Brabant by marriage to Joanna, Duchess of Brabant) by not protecting Brabant merchants in the land between the Rhine and the Meuse who were under threat by armed men involved in the English-French wars.Wenceslaus's army then invaded and engaged in the Battle of Baesweiler in August 1371. Duke Edward, who was about to marry Katherine of Bavaria, daughter of Albert I, Duke of Bavaria, joined the battle and captured Duke Wenceslaus, but was wounded by an arrow and died. Reginald was immediately released, but died of ill health in three months, neither leaving heirs. This led to internal dissent over succession. Edward and Reginald were the only children of <mask>, Duke of Guelders and Eleanor of Woodstock, daughter of Edward II of England, and Reginald's only male heirs.

texts: <mask>'s first marriage was to Sophia Berthout, Lady of Mechelen, which led to four daughters. Two daughters, Maria and Mathilde, then made claim to the title.Mathilde's claim was based on her position as eldest daughter. Maria based her claim on <mask>, who was seven at the time, being the only male representative of the blood of Guelders. Mathilde quickly married John II, Count of Blois, and this grievance precipitated into the War of the Succession of Guelders. <mask>'s father, <mask> II, Duke of Jülich, was granted the right to administer the duchy by Emperor Charles IV during his son's minority. At this time a marriage was arranged between the young <mask> and Katherine of Bavaria, who had been betrothed to his uncle Edward. However, as part of the reconciliation between the houses of Blois and Jülich, some of Guelders remained under the control of Mathilde, and the upper district was under control of Jülich. In 1377, upon the boys majority, Emperor <mask> granted Guelders and Zutphen to <mask>, the son of <mask> II, but it took two more years to consolidate his authority over the entire duchy.He immediately received homage from Arnhem, Nijmegen, and the upper district. However, <mask> did not recognize all of the municipal privileges granted by his half-uncle, Duke Reginald. His rule was opposed by some areas, notably Betuwe and Veluwe, and by nobles led by Frederik van Heeckeren van der Eze, who had supported Mathilde (and Reginald) in comparison to nobles led by Gijsbert V van Bronckhorst, Heer van Bronckhorst who had supported Edward and Maria. <mask> consolidated control after besieging a number of castles of Hekeren nobles. His father accompanied him in a victory over the lord of Voorst near Gennep and

 Reginald van Brederede van Gennep, the chief leader of the Hekerens. With this, Mathilde and John of Blois renounced all claim to Guelders and Zutphen on 24 March 1379. That fall <mask> married Catherine.Wars and rule
<mask>'s rule is cited as an example of the chivalry of that time in France and the Netherlands. He put on many tournaments and sports at arms, and has been called an ideal knight. He participated in crusades against the Lithuanians in East Prussia in the territories of the Teutonic Order with <mask> of Holland, first in 1383, and later in 1388–89 and 1393. He was an ally of the English in the Hundred Years' War. And continuing the enmity from the War of the Succession of Guelders, he fought successfully in 1386–1388 with his father against the Duchy of Brabant, which was allied with France and Burgundy. <mask>'s army advanced far into Brabant, although his army was stalled in a battle near Grave, North Brabant in July 1388. His actions and alliance with England have been seen as reckless, and raised the ire of <mask> of France, who advanced on Guelders with an army of 100,000.<mask> narrowly escaped disaster with an apology, but his stand against the French made him famous throughout Europe. Capture in Pomerania

Shortly after his campaigns in Brabant, <mask> departed again for Prussia with a large army. He was quite successful in this crusade, but was taken prisoner near Stolpe in Pomerania, the land of Wartislaw <mask>, Duke of Pomerania. He was taken to the castle of Falkenburg, where he stayed for six months. Conrad Zöllner von Rothenstein, the grand master of the Teutonic Order, won his freedom. <mask> demanded that his freedom be formally declared, but the Pomeranian was embarrassed by his

 defeat. In fear of the citizens, the Pomeranian nobleman hid in a tree on one side of a brook and shouted his declaration of <mask>'s freedom to <mask> and the Teutonic Knights who were on the other side.<mask> then returned to Guelders by way of Bohemia, where he visited his brother-in-law, Wenceslaus, King of the Romans. Return to Europe
In the spring of 1390 <mask> went to England and was made a Knight of the Garter by Richard II of England - and was the first continental nobleman to be honored in this way. The next year he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and in the summer of 1391 he joined a French fleet to fight Moorish pirates of the coast of Barbary. He returned to the crusades in Prussia in the winter of 1392 and 1393, and inherited the Duchy of Jülich (as <mask> III) in 1393 upon the death of his father. This involved him in new difficulties with neighbors in Cologne, Berg, Cleves, and Mark. In 1399, further hostilities with Brabant resulted finally in cession of Grave to Guelders. He also participated in a fourth campaign against the Prussians in 1399, and then a fifth crusade.As part of his involvement in the Hundred Years' War, he played an important role as he was in control of the coronation road between Frankfurt and Aachen, which passed through his territory. He was thus able to prevent the coronation of Rupert of Germany in 1400. In the fall of 1401 <mask> was intending to prepare to join his brother in law, John van Arkel, in his war against Duke Albert in Holland. However, he took sick, and died 16 February 1402. Legacy
Had <mask> lived longer, it is likely that he would have continued to resist Burgundian influence in the Netherlands, and his legacy was heavily tied with his external wars.

 Although these wars came at a cost for the people of Guelders and Jülich, his activity did allow for his counties to thrive economically and to unite against an external enemy. As evidence the political parties of the Heeckeren and the Bronckhorstens were reconciled.After his death, his only brother Reginald IV succeeded him as duke of a united Jülich and Guelders-Zutphen. Reginald was less warlike, although tensions continued with Cleves over Lymers and Zevenaar, and the town of Emmerich was ceded to Cleves. Upon the death of Reginald, also without issue, the Duchy of Jülich went to Adolf, Duke of Jülich-Berg, son of <mask> of Jülich, 1st Duke of Berg, and grandson of <mask> of Jülich, Count of Berg and Ravensberg, brother of <mask>'s father. The Duchy of Guelders-Zutphen went to Arnold of Egmond, son of Maria van Arkel, daughter of <mask>'s sister, Joanna, and Count <mask> of Arkel. Personal retinue

The court of Guelders at the end of the 14th century and beginning of the 15th century was quite celebrated, including numerous physicians, barbers, falconers and cooks. Among his retinue, <mask> kept head cooks Evarardus Bolte, Crumken, and Elbertus van Eijll (who continued as master cook for <mask>'s successor, <mask>). Elbertus may have been the grandson of Evarardus Bolte, and a genealogie of Elbertus' grandson in about 1440 claimed that Elbertus married a bastard daughter of Duke <mask> named Margaret.In 1396, during a visit to the English king, the cooks entered a cooking contest against their English counterparts led by then head cook, Crumken. <mask> kept many physicians. In 1388/89, three physicians are mentioned: Arnt van Auwel, Clais, and Peter, as well as a healer of wounds, Jan van Asperen. Later, Peter

Giesbert managed to work as a physician to Duchess Johanna and Antoine, Duke of Brabant, enemies of Guelders. When sick in 1401 and 1402, other doctors were called: Derich Distel, Volpart, Evert <mask> Eze, and an English physician, Thomas. <mask> had many assistants who administered his lands while he was on campaigns.In 1388 during campaigns in Prussia, <mask> left Henry of Steenbergen to administer Jülich and Guelders. In 1390 while visiting the King of England, he left Johann von der Velde called Honselaerr, who had fought with Duke <mask> against Brabant in Grave. His musicians included Claes Heynenzoon, called Herald Gelre, also famous for his Wapenboek Gelre, a book containing drawings of the coats of arms of many famous nobles, an artist called Middelen, and Henric the Bohemian.

the director of the Coady International Institute and vice-president of International Development at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. Education and career
<mask> received his B.A. from Vanderbilt University in 1971, and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He taught at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville from 1987 until 1996. He began to help lead a grassroots adult educational program at the Highlander Research and Education Center in New Market, Tennessee, in 1976, and was director from 1993 until 1996. He received a MacArthur Award in 1981 for his work with the Highlander Center.His first publication, Power and Powerlessness: Quiescence and Rebellion in an Appalachian Valley, broke new theoretical and empirical ground in the study of social power, winning the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Award of the American Political Science Association, the V.O Key Book Award of the Southern Political Science Association, the Lillian Smith Book Award of the Southern Regiona Council, and the W.D Weatherford Book Award, and earned co-runnerup in the first annual Robert F.

Research on community power
While studying at Oxford with Steven Lukes, author of Power: a Radical View (1974), Gaventa developed a theoretical and methodological approach to the study of community power that has radically transformed community power studies in political sociology and opened a path for the legitimization of participatory research in mainstream sociology and political science. The book Global

texts: Citizen Action, edited by Gaventa, is one such example. In an essay written for the book, <mask> writes, "Since the 1970s many activists have heard and been guided by the adage 'think globally, act locally.' These essays would suggest the reverse: Think locally about the impacts of global institutions and global forces."He used this skills to become an activist in and document series of national mining strikes across the United Kingdom, including the 1974 Wales miners' strike. Borrowing from Lukes, <mask> identifies three analytical dimensions that are the proper study of social power. Each subsequent dimension is increasingly difficult to empirically observe using traditional political science methodologies, forcing Gaventa to synthesize various understandings of socialization into a cogent articulation of observable processes through which symbolic production is channeled within identifiable networks and communities. The "one-dimensional" approach involves direct empirical observations of openly contested public issues. It involves defining and framing these issues in terms of identifiable winners and losers, and reflects the traditional pluralist approach to the study of community power. The "second dimension" involves the addition of what Gaventa calls the "mobilization of bias", through which cultural hegemony is both asserted and legitimized. This happens through the control of the agenda setting thanks to prior rules.Empirically, <mask>'s contribution is to develop a method for examining the various channels through which those in power transform concerns, claims, and potential challenges about inequitable outcomes into "non-decisions". The "third dimension" therefore adds the capacity to influence expectations about social outcomes by manipulating symbols and ideology so that inequities themselves become "non-issues." <mask>'s articulation and empirical demonstration of the "three-dimensional" approach to the study of power has informed many disciplines and scholars about the nuances of social power and the processes of its

 legitimization, while also lending support to scholars and social change advocates who would find the sources and the solutions of social problems not in the dictates or preconceived notions held by social scientists, theologians, and philosophers, but in the narratives of the affected alienated populations. Citizen Action and National Policy Reform opens: "How can ordinary citizens - and the organizations and movements which they engage - make changes in national policies which affect their lives, and the lives of others around them?" This question, which is arguably the central question with which Gaventa is concerned, is answered through the theory <mask> employs. In <mask>'s theory, methodological subjectivity allows the framing of a social problem, and a social solution, to arise from within the group, thereby empowering and better enabling the group to take collective action in the face of authorities' power to frame issues as non-issues in the public's mind. Because <mask>'s work draws so heavily upon Luke's "three-face" conception of power, his work has been critiqued by other sociologists and scholars of power.Abraham argues that Michel Foucault's analysis of power identifies a "fourth face" by which power acts, which postulates that, "postulates that power itself produces subjects, their interests, their prospects for resistance, and what they consider truth." Abraham writes,"had <mask>uldian notion of power, then he would perhaps have found even more insights into power’s operations." Selected publications
