Shatner described his character's demise in the movie as one of his "unique ways" of dying: "I get sucked out of an airplane while carrying a lit torch into the airliner's baggage compartment to try to confront a druid ghost." According to Shatner, many of his fans consider the movie the worst film in which he has ever appeared. |

Portrait of a Young Woman is a painting which is commonly believed to be by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, executed between 1480 and 1485. Others attribute authorship to Jacopo da Sellaio. The woman is shown in profile but with her bust turned in three-quarter view to reveal a cameo medallion she is wearing around her neck. The medallion is a copy in reverse of "Nero's Seal", a famous antique carnelian representing Apollo and Marsyas, which belonged to Lorenzo de' Medici. |

It is housed in the Städel Museum of Frankfurt, Germany. Other similar Botticelli paintings are to be found in the National Gallery, London, the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, and in the Marubeni Collection, Tokyo. |

The art historian Aby Warburg first suggested the painting was an idealised portrait of Simonetta Vespucci. |

This challenged a previous interpretation, put forward by German scholars, according to which the painting describes an ideally beautiful young woman mythologised as a nymph or goddess, a view reflected in the title given it by the Städel. It belongs to a group of such paintings by Botticelli or his workshop. Art historian Emanuele Lugli has suggested that the three "tassels" of hair at the center of the painting represents downward flames, symbolising the love that onlookers ought to experience when looking at the portrait since, in the Renaissance it was thought that "hair inflames desire." |
27333186_0_0 | 27333186 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent%20entrance | Bent entrance | Bent entrance.
A bent or indirect entrance is a defensive feature in medieval fortification. In a castle with a bent entrance, the gate passage is narrow and turns sharply. Its purpose is to slow down attackers attempting to rush the gate and impede the use of battering rams against doors. It is often combined with means for an active defence, such as machicolations, in effect confining intruders to a narrow killing zone. Its defensive function is related to that of a barbican in front of the gate. |
27333186_0_1 | 27333186 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent%20entrance | Bent entrance | Bent entrance.
Indirect entrances are typical of Arab and Armenian fortifications, as well as crusader castles. The Citadel of Aleppo is a good example of the former, with a massive gate tower enclosing a complicated passage. The most elaborate bent entrance among crusader castles is the turning entrance ramp at Crac des Chevaliers, which is defensible from several towers and via machicolations, but the indirect entrance to the Hospitaller castle at Bethgibelin is also complex. In addition to the main gate, postern gates could also feature a bent entrance, usually on a smaller scale. For instance, in the ruined Hospitaller castle at Belvoir, posterns open into the moat at the angle between the outer wall and the corner towers. |
27333186_0_2 | 27333186 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent%20entrance | Bent entrance | Bent entrance.
Bent entrances of such complexity as at Crac are less common in European castles, where even in strongly defended keep-gatehouses the entrance passage tends to be straight. See for example the long gate passage at Harlech Castle, which uses multiple doors and murder-holes, but no turns. Cathcart King has argued that the indirect entrance was less widespread in Europe than in the Crusader states because transport in Europe tended to be based on carts pulled by draft animals, which makes negotiating a twisting passage impractical, whereas camels, as used in the East, would have less difficulty. |

Douglas Crawford McMurtrie (July 20, 1888 – September 29, 1944) was an American typeface designer, graphic designer, historian, author and bibliographer of printing. |
27333253_0_1 | 27333253 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas%20Crawford%20McMurtrie | Douglas Crawford McMurtrie | Douglas Crawford McMurtrie. Early career
McMurtrie was born in Belmar, New Jersey and attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After leaving school without a degree, he worked as a newspaper reporter, statistician, free-lance designer, and printing broker. After several years, his design work came to the attention of Ingalls Kimball, who appointed McMurtrie general manager of the Cheltenham Press. He subsequently served as printing manager of the Columbia University Printing Office, the Arbor Press, and Condé Nast Press. |

During this period McMurtrie designed two type faces and helped design the format of the New Yorker magazine. He was instrumental in forming the Continental Type Founders Association, which imported types from Europe, serving as the company’s first vice-president. He also imported several faces from Europe on his own, including Cochin and Didot. During 1925/26, he succeeded Frederic Goudy as editor of the prestigious Ars Typographica magazine. |

After another period of free-lancing, McMurtrie moved to Chicago, where he spent a year as typographic director of the Cuneo Press before leaving to become director of advertising and typography at Ludlow Typograph Company. Though he designed one typeface for Ludlow, his duties there primarily consisted of writing advertising copy. He held this position until the end of his life. |
27333253_0_4 | 27333253 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas%20Crawford%20McMurtrie | Douglas Crawford McMurtrie | Douglas Crawford McMurtrie. Scholarly work
While at Ludlow, McMurtrie was allowed much time for research, resulting in many books, including one volume (of a planned four) of A History of Printing in the United States, and later The Book: the Story of Printing & Bookmaking, both of which won much acclaim. Having established himself as one of the most important bibliographers of printing, McMurtrie was appointed to head up the Works Progress Administration’s American Imprints Inventory. This project resulted in thirty-five publications as well as more than fifteen million documents being deposited in the Library of Congress. |

Carol Perkins (born December 29, 1957) is an American business owner, fashion model and pet product designer who started her own company, Harry Barker, Inc., in 1997. The success of Harry Barker (company sales doubled between 2006 and 2009) has garnered Perkins national media coverage from CNBC business shows and USA Today to Ladies' Home Journal and O magazines. Perkins had been a Ford Model in the 1980s who went on to star with Penn & Teller in their 1990-91 Broadway hit, “Penn & Teller’s Refrigerator Tour.” An ordeal with a brain tumor and Cushing's Disease forced her to change direction. Perkins recovered and moved south to start her own pet products company, Harry Barker, named for her Shetland Sheepdog. Perkins is still represented by the Eileen Ford Modeling Agency, but spends most of her time running her multi-million pet products company in Charleston, South Carolina |
27333291_1_0 | 27333291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol%20Perkins | Carol Perkins | Carol Perkins. Early life, Ford Model
Perkins was born and raised in Sarasota, Florida, where her father was a high school principal and her mother was a painter. She spent weeks on end at the winter home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, tumbling and playing with the children of Emmett Kelly and flying Wallendas. Perkins moved to New York City when she was sixteen, having graduated from high school a year early. |
27333291_1_1 | 27333291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol%20Perkins | Carol Perkins | Carol Perkins. Early life, Ford Model
A statuesque brunette with blue eyes, Perkins was signed immediately by Eileen Ford of the Ford Modeling Agency. She appeared on the cover of the Victoria's Secret catalog, as well as in the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and dozens of fashion magazines. Perkins lived in Paris and London for several years, traveling the world on modeling assignments. |
27333291_1_2 | 27333291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol%20Perkins | Carol Perkins | Carol Perkins. Early life, Ford Model
In 1990, she met performer Penn Jillette while he was preparing a “Penn & Teller” event for NBC-TV, and appeared in the special “Don’t Try This at Home.” She then was recruited to star in a fire eating segment of their first Broadway production, “The Refrigerator Tour.” The New York Times hailed it as an “incendiary performance," although it wasn't without risk for someone whose career was based on her good looks. |
27333291_1_3 | 27333291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol%20Perkins | Carol Perkins | Carol Perkins. Early life, Ford Model
It wasn't the fire-eating that ended her modeling career, however, but a near-fatal bout with brain cancer and Cushing's Disease. In the mid 1990s, Perkins gained 70 pounds, developed a hump on her back and a round face. She went to scores of doctors over the course of nearly two years, to no avail. |
27333291_1_4 | 27333291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol%20Perkins | Carol Perkins | Carol Perkins. Early life, Ford Model
“I was disfigured and unemployable,” said Perkins who went from jet-setter to shut-in. She started walking dogs and sewing dog beds for friends. Visiting an acupuncturist in Chinatown, he told her she had Cushing's Disease, a rare syndrome caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland. She had brain surgery to remove the tumor, during which she had a dream about starting a company for animals. As she recovered from the surgery and regained a normal hormone equilibrium, an editor friend featured one of Perkins' hand-crafted dog beds in a woman's magazine and Perkins was overwhelmed with orders from around the nation. It was May, 1997, and Perkins knew what her next career move would be. |

Perkins sold everything she owned and left New York City, opening the “Harry Barker” retail shop in Savannah, Georgia, that sold bedding, treats and toys for dogs and cats. After she met and married David Rawle, she moved her business to Charleston, South Carolina and focused on selling products through wholesale distribution and over the internet at HarryBarker.com |

From the start, Perkins used recycled products in the manufacture of her pet beds, toys, collars and leashes. Each bed is fluffed with a special material that is made from 30 recycled plastic bottles. Perkins' designs have been acclaimed by consumers and media alike: Harry Barker products are regularly featured in magazines such as "In Style, Coastal Living, O, Real Simple," and "Martha Stewart Living." Because they are made with recycled products, Harry Barker frequently wins industry acclaim from sustainability groups and manufacturers' groups such as TreeHugger.com and Pet Product News. |

Harry Barker is a privately owned company and does not reveal sales figures, but revenues have doubled in the last five years. The company's products are sold through more than 3,000 retailers around the world. Website sales at HarryBarker.com have doubled every year since 2006. The company also garners attention for its policy in employing adult workers from the Hope Disabilities Center, a community partnership that benefits many in the Charleston area. Every year the New York International Gift Show names Harry Barker or one of its products as “Most Sustainable Products and Practices.” |

Perkins dedicates many resources to benefit the Medical University of South Carolina, such as donating a portion of company proceeds to the Children's Hospital. She also raises money to fund the hospital's program for therapy dogs. Perkins has served on the board of the local no-kill animal shelter, Pet Helpers. She is still represented by Ford Models and will travel on assignment from time to time. Her husband, David Rawle, formerly owns a large marketing communications agency in Charleston, Rawle-Murdy Associates. They have two dogs: Harry Barker, of course (Perkins' beloved Shetland sheepdog) and Josephine, an elegant briard. |

Women's magazines and home magazines have long raved about Harry Barker and its products. In 2008 and 2009, the business media started catching up. Perkins appeared on multiple segments of CNBC's “Big Idea”with Donny Deutsch (who reprised what has become a sort of media sobriquet: “Model Gets New Leash on Life”). She also appeared in the business pages of "USAToday" and newspapers coast to coast through regular Associated Press wire stories on the status of the pet product industry. |

The decision was that if the prisoner does not accept the pardon, it is not in effect: "A pardon is a deed, to the validity of which delivery is essential, and delivery is not complete without acceptance. It may then be rejected by the person to whom it is tendered; and if it is rejected, we have discovered no power in this court to force it upon him." |

While Wilson refused the pardon, he avoided being hanged unlike his accomplice who was. A report in The National Gazette of Philadelphia dated January 14, 1841 suggests that he was in prison for ten years until released. He received another pardon from President Martin Van Buren, which he accepted. The Smithsonian magazine has written that Wilson was hanged as a result of refusing the pardon. |
