As the story goes, Aaliyah began performing at age of 11. She'd started on-stage with singing with Gladys Knight's troupe in Las Vegas. Aaliyah "Liyah," as she was nicknamed, graduated from the Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts in June of 1997. By her 18th birthday, Aaliyah had already put out 2 hit LPs and has established herself as an r&b force to reckon with. As a child, Aaliyah performed on Star Search and couple of TV pilots. When she reached her early teens, her uncle Barry Hankerson (Gladys Knight's ex-husband), introduced her to a performer he was managing at the time. That performer was R. Kelly. The meeting resulted in R. Kelly producing Aaliyah's debut cd, "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number". The two were rumored to have been married when the singer was only 15-years-old, but their respective record labels denied those allegations. A deeper look from certain television stations provided a marriage certificate and annulment papers. The mystery around that marriage still surfaces today. Aaliyah On Aaliyah's second LP, released in '96, R. Kelly's production skills were absent. But even without the Aaliyah/R. Kelly union, her "One In A Million" LP contiuned to push Aaliyah to stardom. Her reputation for being sassy, as well as her street-wise sounds and videos got her noticed by fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. Aaliyah's face (and fashionably clad body) was all over the magazines, on billboards and TV commericals worldwide sporting comfortable clothing and signature shades. She got some flack over the shades. People were wondering: why the shades all the time? She started wearing them at the beginning of her career, when she was supershy and trying to get over her fear of the camera. "I've matured, but I want to stay true to my style", she says. While working the "One in a Million" cd, Aaliyah starred in her first feature film "Romeo Must Die". She played Trish O'Day, the object of Jet Li's affection, in the amped-up modern day retelling of "Romeo and Juliet". After the success of "Romeo Must Die," Aaliyah's film career continued to gather momentum. Prior to her untimely death on August 25, 2001, Aaliyah had signed on to appear in a pair of sequels to the 1999 box office smash "The Matrix." The role has since gone to Mohammad Ali's daughter, Lela. But she also had a role in the movie "The Queen of the Damned" ? in which she singer starred as a 6,000 year-old vampire named Akasha - that movie rolled out a few months after her death and stayed a number one for quite a while.. Aaliyah's final cd was appropriately named "Aaliyah". She stuck with the things that worked best for her in her last albums, and that meant working with rapper-producer Timbaland, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, Ginuwine and Playa. The "Aaliyah" album was her first since her 1996 double-platinum effort, "One in a Million."



Wikipedia: Kelly had been introduced to a promising young singer from Detroit named Aaliyah by her uncle, Barry Hankerson, when she was 12 years old.[156] During Kelly's 2021 criminal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, a witness testified that Kelly had sexual contact with Aaliyah starting when she was 13 or 14 years old. Kelly wrote and produced Aaliyah's first album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, in 1994.[162] On August 31, 1994, Kelly, then 27, illegally married Aaliyah, then 15, in a secret ceremony in Cook County, Illinois.

Kelly's tour manager, Demetrius Smith, admitted he facilitated the wedding by obtaining falsified identification for Aaliyah which listed her as 18 years old. The marriage was annulled in February 1995 at the behest of Aaliyah's family by a Michigan judge.[164] Kelly and Aaliyah, however, both denied that the marriage occurred and even denied that their relationship had ever moved beyond friendship. In May 1997, Aaliyah filed a lawsuit in Cook County to have the marriage record expunged, stating that she was underage at the time of marriage, had lied by signing the marriage certificate as an 18-year-old, and that she could not legally enter into marriage without parental consent.

The expungement request was included in a lawsuit filed by Tiffany Hawkins, who sought to use the marriage documents in her case against Kelly. Hawkins later accepted a settlement of $250,000 from Kelly, subject to a confidentiality agreement, in 1998. In 2019, federal prosecutors in the state of New York charged Kelly with bribery related to the 1994 purchase of a fake identification card for Aaliyah in order to obtain a marriage license. Kelly, through his lawyers, admitted in 2021 to having had 'underage sexual contact' with Aaliyah. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficing in 2022.

BiographyProtomartyr of the persecution under Henry VIII, b. in Essex, 1487; d. at Tyburn, 4 May, 1535. He was educated at Cambridge, graduating LL.B. about 1497, and later LL.D. and D.D; he was ordained priest in 1501 and entered the Carthusian novitiate at the London Charterhouse in 1505, where he was professed in 1516. He filled the office of sacristan, 1523-28; of procurator, 1528-31; of prior of Beauvale, Nottinghamshire, from June to November, 1531; of prior of the London Charterhouse, 1531-35; and of provincial visitor, 1532-35. He was imprisoned in the Tower for about a month, with the procurator, Blessed Humphrey Middlemore, for refusing to swear that the king's marriage with Queen Catharine was invalid, but took the oath of succession under the condition quatenus licitum esset, with some of his monks, 29 May, 1534, the others being sworn 6 June. On or about 13 April, 1535, he was committed again to the Tower for refusing the oath of supremacy. With him were sent Blessed Robert Laurence, who had succeeded him as prior of Beauvale, and had previously been chaplain to the Duke of Norfolk and then a monk of the London Charterhouse; and Blessed Augustine Webster, prior of Axholme, Lincolnshire, formerly a monk of Sheen. These priors, who were on a visit to the London Charterhouse, had not had the oath tendered to them, but were brought before the Rolls for that purpose on 20 April, and, on refusing it, were sent back to the Tower. There they were joined by Blessed Richard Reynolds, a Brigittine of Syon, born about 1492, educated at Christ's and Corpus Christi colleges, Cambridge, Fellow of Corpus Christi, 1510, B.D. 1513, subsequently D.D. He became a Brigittine in 1513, and was considered one of the foremost scholars of his day. All four were indicted 28 April, 1535, under 26 Henry VIII, c. 1, for refusing the oath of supremacy. The jury at first refused to find them guilty, but were intimidated by Cromwell into doing so the next day. All were hanged in their habits without being previously degraded, and all were disembowelled while fully conscious, Houghton being the first to suffer and Reynolds the last.

With them died a secular priest, Blessed John Hale, LL.B., Fellow of King's Hall, Cambridge, and Vicar of Isleworth, Middlesex, since 13 August, 1521. He took this living in exchange for the Rectory of Cranford, Middlesex, which he had held since 11 September, 1505. There is nothing to identify him with the Rector of Chelmsford of 1492. He may possibly be the person of this name who became scholar of Eton in 1485. He was indicted 20 April, 1535, with the perpetual curate of Teddington, Middlesex, named Robert Feron, for offenses against 25 Henry VIII, c. 22. Both pleaded guilty and were condemned; but Feron was pardoned. Hale was the fourth to suffer.

JOHN HOUGHTON

Memorial
4 May; 25 October as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales Profile
Graduated from Cambridge with degrees in civil and canon law. Parish priest for four years. Carthusian monk. Prior of the Beauvale Carthusian Charterhouse, Northampton. Prior of the London Charterhouse.

In 1534 he was the first person to oppose King Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy. Imprisoned with Blessed Humphrey Middlemore. When the oath was modified to include the phrase "in so far as the law of God permits", John felt he could be loyal to Church and Crown; he and several of his monks signed the oath, though with misgivings. Father John was released, and a few days later, troops arrived at the Chapterhouse and forced the remaining monks to sign the modified oath.

On 1 February 1535, Parliment required that the original, unmodified oath be signed by all. Following three days of prayer, Father John, with Saint Robert Lawrence and Saint Augustine Webster, contacted Thomas Cromwell to seek an exemption for themselves and their monks. The group was immediated arrested and thrown in the Tower of London. True to his Carthusian vow of silence, he would not defend himself in court, but refused to cooperate or sign. The jury could find no malice to the king, but when threatened with prosecution themselves, they found John and his co-defendants guilty of treason.

First person martyred under the Tudor persections, dying with Blessed John Haile and three others. One of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.

Saint John Houghton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from John Houghton (Saint))
Jump to: navigation, search
Saint John Houghton was an English Catholic martyr.
Born sometime around 1486, he was (according to one of his fellow Carthusians) educated at Cambridge, but cannot be identified among surviving records. Similarly, no certain records can be found of his ordination.
He joined the London Charterhouse in 1515, progressed to be Sacristan in 1523, and procurator in 1526. In 1531, he became abbot of the Charterhouse of Beauvale in Nottinghamshire. However, in November of that year, he was elected Prior of the London house, to which he returned.
In 1534, he asked that he and his house be exempted from the oaths required under the new Act of Succession, which resulted in both him and his procurator being arrested and taken to the Tower of London. However, by the end of May, they had been persuaded that the oath was consistent with their Catholicism, and they returned to the Charterhouse, where (in the presence of a large armed force) the whole community made the required professions.
However, in 1535, the community was called upon to make the new oath as prescribed by the 1534 Act of Supremacy, which recognised Henry as the head of the Church in England. Again, Houghton, this time accompanied by the heads of the other two English Carthusian houses (Robert Lawrence, Prior of Beauvale, and ?), pleaded for an exemption, but were this time arrested by Thomas Cromwell. They were called before a special commission in April 1534, and sentenced to death, along with Richard Reynolds, a monk from Syon Abbey.
Houghton, along with the other 2 Carthusians, Reynolds, and another priest, John Hale, were all hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn on May 4, 1535.
Catholic tradition relates that as Houghton was about to be quartered, as the executioner tore open his chest to remove his heart he prayed, "O Jesu, what wouldst thou do with my heart?" A contemporary source records his last words as: "Our holy mother the Church has decreed otherwise than the king and parliament have decreed. I am therefore bound in conscience and am ready and willing to suffer every kind of torture rather than deny a doctrine of the Church." (Hendriks)
After his death, his body was chopped to pieces and hung in different parts of London. A painting of the martyr by Zurbaran depicts him with a noose around his neck and his heart in his hand.

Biography

NoteHoughton's Goldenrod
(Solidago houghtonii)
(This information is taken from a fact sheet prepared by the Michigan DNR's Natural Heritage Program)
Houghton's goldenrod is a showy goldenrod found only on the northern Great Lakes shoreline of Lakes Huron and Michigan. It is threatened by loss of habitat due to increased human activity in shoreline areas. Heavy foot and vehicular traffic along the shoreline represent major threats.



Houghton's goldenrod is listed as a "threatened" species. Threatened species are animals and plants that are likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future. Endangered species are animals and plants that are in danger of becoming extinct. Identifying, protecting, and restoring endangered and threatened species is the primary objective of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's endangered species program.

Clearing Up a Myth

Many people believe that goldenrod causes hay fever. Goldenrods are unfairly blamed because their showy flowers bloom at the same time as less conspicuous ragweed flowers that cause the itching and sneezing. In fact, goldenrod pollen is too heavy to be carried on the wind like tree pollen. Instead, goldenrod pollen is carried by the insects that pollinate the flowers and is not wasted on the wind or allergy sufferers.

What's in a Name?

Houghton's goldenrod was named in honor of Douglass Houghton, a doctor, botanist, civic leader, and Michigan's first State Geologist. During the geological survey of Michigan in 1839, Houghton discovered this species of goldenrod in Mackinac County between what are now the communities of Naubinway and Epoufette, on the north shore of Lake Michigan.

Where it grows

This showy, shoreline goldenrod grows nowhere else in the world but along the Great Lakes shoreline. It grows primarily along the northern shores of Lakes Michigan and Huron. Most populations of Houghton's goldenrod occur in Chippewa, western Mackinac, northern Emmet, Cheboygan, and northern Presque Isle counties. Outside of Michigan it extends to the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada.

Habitat

Houghton's goldenrod typically grows on moist sandy beaches and shallow depressions between low sand ridges along the shoreline. This habitat is called interdunal wetland. Fluctuating water levels of the Great Lakes play a role in maintaining this unique goldenrod. During high water years, colonies of Houghton's goldenrod may be submerged. When water levels recede some plants survive the inundation and new seedlings establish on the moist sand. Other attractive plants that often grow with Houghton's goldenrod include the creamy white Grass-of-Parnassus, the delicate blue Kalm's lobelia, the yellow-flowered shrubby cinquefoil, twigrush, and other goldenrods. This enchanting habitat displays a tapestry of color and texture that continually changes throughout the seasons. It is a unique habitat within the Great Lakes ecosystem.

How to Identify

Like other goldenrods, Houghton's goldenrod is a perennial having an upright stem bearing many small, bright yellow flower heads that resemble tiny daisies, but are completely yellow. Unlike many other goldenrods, Houghton's goldenrod flowers are arranged in a more or less flat-topped branched cluster. The narrow leaves are up to 4.5 inches long, relatively few, and crowded toward the base. A characteristic helpful in identifying this goldenrod may be seen in the small flower stalks within each flower cluster. These stalks of the individual flower-heads are covered with tiny fine hairs. The bright yellow flowers bloom primarily in August and early September, but some plants may flower as late as October.

There are two other goldenrods with flat-topped flower clusters that grow in the same habitat as Houghton's goldenrod. These "look-alikes", grass-leaved goldenrod and Ohio goldenrod, can be confused with Houghton's. These three species are the only goldenrods with flat-topped flower clusters found along the shores of the northern Great Lakes. Grass-leaved goldenrod has many more leaves along the stem, but lacks leaves at the base during flowering. Its flower-heads are distinctly smaller than those of Houghton's goldenrod. Ohio goldenrod is a larger species with broader, flat leaves and a dense, many headed flower cluster with smooth, non-hairy stalks of the individual flower-heads. The yellow "petals" in Houghton's goldenrod are distinctly larger than those in the other two "look-alikes."

Once Mark came to TLG from Cintichem, he shifted the focus of his work from hands-on activities to the computer calculation of many of those same tasks. At TLG, Mark took on his share of contributions to cost estimating and unit cost factor determinations for the D&D of nuclear plant sites. He doesn't stay out of the field for long, however. Mark and other TLG team members spent several weeks performing a plant walkdown for the gathering of initial data for and area-by-area cost estimate. Such an activity entails cross-referencing inventory to tag records, characterization features, common attributes, disposition requirements, etc.

Having worked at eleven commercial nuclear plant sites before his arriving at Cintichem, Mark came to TLG with extensive experience in plant D&D operations. At Cintichem he was working as a night shift HP Supervisor for the D&D of the reactor and hot cells, and their related components/systems. While working at the commercial sites, Mark became familiar with refueling and maintenance outages, valve and piping replacements, resin transfer and shipping, cleaning of contaminated tools/equipment, respirator inspection/repairs, and performing environmental surveys/analyses.

This newly developed partnership lead to the creation of crime watch programs in public housing developments, in addition, to the Residential Police Program. The Residential Police program provides officers with an apartment to live in rent free in a housing development to increase the police presence within the neighborhood to prevent crime. Due to the excellent relationship the police department has developed with the Chelsea Housing Authority, this program has proven to be a great success. Lt. Houghton has traveled throughout the United States sharing his experience and Chelsea’s success with other communities. Prior to his appointment as a Commissioner, Lt. Houghton volunteered his time as an MNCWC special member assisting with our crime watch efforts.
