Influence of anteroposterior mandibular positions on facial attractiveness in Japanese adults. | |

PMID: 19121504 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
INTRODUCTION: Our aims in this study were to determine the anteroposterior facial relationship that is regarded as most attractive by Japanese laypersons in a questionnaire survey and to evaluate which analysis of the soft-tissue profile is most suitable for Japanese people. METHODS: We showed 262 Japanese laypersons (121 male, 141 female) 9 morphed profile images with Point B and menton anteriorly or distally moved by software and asked them to number them sequentially according to their attractiveness. To examine which analysis best reflects facial attractiveness as judged by laypersons, we made 5 types of analyses of the facial profile with 11 variables in the 9 images. RESULTS: The normal face was judged favorably; however, an attractive profile might be different for each subject. The 3 highest ranking profiles (normal face and moderate mandibular retrusions) were often favorites, and 2 profiles (severe mandibular protrusions) were liked the least for most subjects. However, the other images showed a wide range of distribution. Mandibular retrusion was generally more favored than mandibular protrusion and bimaxillary protrusion (severe chin retrusion) had a high attractiveness ranking and was well accepted in the Japanese population. CONCLUSIONS: To evaluate the profiles of Japanese subjects, it is important to evaluate not only the esthetic line defined by the nose and chin, but also the balance of the upper and lower lips defined by the posterior reference line--ie, Burstone's Sn-Pog' line. |

He was creepy in the keynotes. Reminded me of people I've known who have no ability to deal with human emotion, so they emulate it. I also found the bit where he announced how Siri can now give sports scores to be amusing for how underwhelmed the audience was. His false emotion made it fall even flatter because he appeared to be thinking "if I emote thusly, the audience will applaud." And they didn't. Dunno. Maybe has something to do with tech geeks (his audience) trending away from sports...

1. Jobs was anally serious about QC, Forstall doesn't seem the same with the mess that was iOS 6 2. Jobs would say 'I think I'm right, prove me wrong'. Forstall says 'I'm right, shut up.' |

I wonder if my own sociopathic ex boss has yet learned he can't browbeat people into respecting and praising him? Unlikely. These creatures don't learn to actually see themselves. Forstall is a lucky man. He can retire young. Live luxuriously till he croaks. He is the 1% and he probably didn't do much to earn it other than please his mentor... who was probably just far better at social manipulation than anyone else around them. |

Hey I don't think Forstall is the next Steve Jobs but it seems those that do think so because of the reasons I listed. Oh he came from NeXT and he's a jerk therefore he's untouchable because he's just like Steve.

NDAs are there to keep information a trade secret. So breaking an NDA is not in itself criminal, but if the breach reveals trade secrets, then it is. |

Some of you should check out the book a**h*leology. There's a big difference between being an *******, and being a douchebag. Scott Forstall was a douchebag. Steve Jobs was an *******. Don't compare Forstall to Jobs just because they were both conflicting personalities. Steve was conflicting for all the right reasons, for a greater vision and high standards. Steve would listen to you if you showed him passion and seemed like you weren't a "bozo," he wanted you to prove him wrong and challenge you to achieve.
Scott on the other hand just strikes me as the type who is more full of himself. He seems like the type who would suppress talent inside Apple from outdoing him, never listening to others or allowing others to prove him wrong, and just an all around douche. Yes, he was a brilliant and ambitious man, but he clearly let the success of iOS get to his head. Not to mention the whispers that he was trying to overpower Tim Cook. That kind of behavior is not healthy for a company like Apple that's still learning under a new leader. I have HUGE respect for everything Scott did. But I think Tony Fadell and others inside Apple know a bit more about the situation than we do. And if Tony feels Apple is in a better place without Scott, allowing the other talented people get more influence inside Apple, I'm inclined to believe him. |

The interviewer asked, 'Were there personal problems that you had with him? I mean how difficult was it working with him?' He could so easily have answered by saying, 'Yes, we clashed and there were problems, but that's in the past, and I wish Scott well in his future ventures.' He might even have elaborated a little bit on what those areas of difference were, without making it a personal attack. Instead, he makes it personal by saying Scott 'got what he deserved' and talking about the cheering of other Apple employees, while giving us no useful information at all. It's left to the viewer to imagine that Scott must have done something so unspeakably horrible that it can't even be discussed publicly. |

What Fadell says is more or less irrelevant.
What Ive says about skeumorphism is irrelevant. What happened with the maps feature, and whether or not Forstall chose to apologize for it is irrelevant. It appears to me, that there is a move towards consensus-based management at Apple, which is a shame. Consensus is, and always has been, the refuge of scoundrels -- for the plain reason that 10 poorly informed opinions are never as good as one really well-formed informed opinion. You need a good manager who can cut through all the ******** of the so-called "consensus" to manage large technology products. I think the Apple maps app is a good upgrade to what was already present. And so what if every address listed wasn't correct? It's not a show stealing feature anyway; more just coming up to standard with what has already been available elsewhere. I wouldn't pan skeumorphism either. In some form or another, it's been the bedrock of all of Apple's revolutionary products in software, and what has always made its best products revolutionary and widely accepted. Consider the concept of the "desktop" in the original MacOS. The "Trash can." The icon for the "folder" (as opposed to "the directory"). The "document" (as opposed to the "file.") Consider the concept of an animated "button" on the computer screen (a graphical representation of a physical button). Consider Steve Job's long-held affection for classical typography, which is one of the few things he remarks on learning in school, and which formed the basis of much of what was unique about MacOS. Discarding these classical notions for real-world objects which are familiar to people may be attractive to a select number of nerds who form a small proportion of the population, but is a dangerous path for Apple to go down as a consumer-oriented company. Also, you should read a very widely read book in design called "The Design of Everyday Things", which is about how the physical appearance of objects gives users an intuitive sense of how they should interact with them. As arbitrary as these rules may seem, these are not concepts that individuals easily unlearn. In iOS, it manifests in many ways as for example the slide switch, the "bounce" motion that gives users intuitive feedback that they have reached the end of a list (as opposed to accidentally touching a finger to the screen to cause it to inadvertently stick), the envelope icon for e-mail, etc... The combination of Ive's industrial design and Forstall's classical and intuitive software design are part of what made iOS so great. The physical design of the computer is a sleek, simple and unintrusive as possible. This is as it should be. Why? Because the shape and appearance of the hardware does not change depending on the task at hand. Whether one is using a Calendar program, a word processing program, or watching a movie, the hardware will appear as always, so the design should be simple and unintrusive. But the software of a computer is another matter. It *has* to communicate to the user what task is at hand. The appearance of a physical-appearing calendar or planner communicates this *very* easily, intuitively and simply to the user. I wouldn't presume to what Ive has in mind when abandoning skeumorphism in software design, but for example using simplified, OS-wide similar geometric layouts and rendering the calendar screen in blue, e-mail screen in red and checklist screen in yellow, may *seem* simple, but is actually a lot harder for a person to acclimate to. They would have to constantly remember which color belongs to which appilcation, as opposed to looking at the surface of what appears to be a calendar, which pretty much anyone can understand and recognize in a split second without any instruction or learning whatsoever. As great as Ive-style modern design may look aesthetically, designers of his caliber have conceived of a great many awesome-looking, but hardly useable products in the past. They may be of interest to a select few with a particularly discriminating eye, but most people abhor actually using them, and in most cases, owning them. How does one sit at this simple looking table that is spare in the number of legs? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/home...corbusier.html Is it easy to see what you're cutting? If someone handed one of these to you outside of the kitchen, what would you think it was for? https://www.momastore.org/museum/mom...69_26670_17611 Without fiddling with this first, how would you operate it? https://www.momastore.org/museum/mom...69_26671_63596 This **** looks great, but they're a pain in the ass to use. Ive's hardware design is great. But software, having no edges or curves, needs to communicate to users reliably and immediately how to use them. Skeumorphism has for the last 30 years been the most reliable and intuitive way to accomplish this in software. Just look at windows 8 and how hard it can be to figure out what their tiles actually do. One wonders how nutso the execs have to be at Apple to consider discarding it. |

You're thinking of someone breaking the law to obtain trade secrets (breaking and entering, cybercrimes) for which a victim can obtain relief under the Uniform Trade Secret Acts signed by 46 states. Breach of NDA does not grant protection under that Act, as NDAs are not considered sufficient form of protection of the secrets.

The IOS map problem is a really good example of what you get when one member of a team has a really strong ego and it almost bring all the product launch into a halt. The IOS 6 beta feedback was really bad. So Fostall and the development team should have known that the IOS map has a big problem. But guess what Apple kicked Google map out of IOS 6 anyway and presented the IOS map as better alternative than Google map. It created a fire storm of criticism from user group and Tim Cook had to issue an apology letter. From the action taken by Apple so far, it looks like Fostall and Williamson sandbagged the rest of the executive team and convince everyone believe that the Map is ready. And Forstall still don't believe an apology is appropriate to all the user that was affected by his decision. If Forstall and Williamsons worked better with other part of the executive team, Apple could have launched the map 10x better even if they decide to kick Google map out anyway. They could have prepare the user much better. Didn't we have an article about Apple trying to hire programmers who had work in Google map to help fix the problem after the IOS 6 launch? Clearly the software organization under Forstall miscalculated how bad the IOS map situation is and had not staff up enough resource to work on the problem. Do you want to bet your company on Forstall? How do you know that the one guy that you want to bet on is not the next Forstall? Fortunately for Apple that there are enough alternative map solution out there that it does not affect the sales of any of the product so far. Otherwise, we would have been talking about how Apple product are not selling because of IOS map problem and how much money they are losing this quarter. A lone hero that save the world work great for a movie plot but it never happen in the real world. Last edited by xofruitcake; Nov 30, 2012 at 05:45 AM. |

Researchers from The John S. Dunn Gulf Coast Consortium for Chemical Genomics (GCC-CG) will use Invitrogen's gene expression and imaging portfolio to discover biomedically relevant aspects of gene and protein expression. The screening centers will focus on aspects of disease-related biology, including diabetes, cancer, and steroid hormone-related metabolic disorders.
Scientists at facilities at Baylor College of Medicine and University of Texas Health Science Center, part of GCC-CG, will use their expertise in high-content, high-throughput image-based screening and quantitative gene expression, respectively, to maximize the biological content from these experiments. Initial experiments will use Invitrogen's human kinase, human nuclear receptor and mouse nuclear receptor collections. The quantitative effects of the siRNA molecules on gene and protein expression will be assessed using Invitrogen's SYBR GreenER™ real-time qPCR technology and image-based tools from its Molecular Probes™ portfolio.
Additional participating members of the GCC-CG are Rice University, University of Houston, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, and The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
Policy proposals to address the growing global problem of fake medicines include a global agreement, similar to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and stricter national laws to prosecute those who knowingly sell counterfeit medicines. Do you think these steps will be successful?

Pictures of New Wall and Dimensions at Citi Field
Today at Citi Field, the Mets announced that they are moving in portions of the outfield wall at Citi Field as much as 12 feet and lowering the height of the home run line to 8 feet throughout the outfield.
"We wanted to make Citi Field fair to both pitchers and hitters," Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson said in a press release.
In addition, the outfield wall will become blue in 2012 concurrent with the Mets 50th Anniversary season. The home run line and distance markers will remain orange.
"We decided to change the outfield wall from black to Mets blue, which many of our fans have wanted," Jeff Wilpon said.
Here are other images the team sent along in the press release:
Matthew Cerrone: I love it, and I love the blue walls. As I've said before, the people hitting the baseball are significantly more important than the color of the wall in front of them. However, it looks cool, it's like Shea Stadium, and it's more on point with the team's brand, and I just feel it's how it should be. Far more significantly, however, is the dimensions, which, almost seem specifically designed to help Jason Bay (in left field) and David Wright (in right field). If nothing else, perhaps this changes how these two players look and think about the ballpark, which could help them from a psychological point of view, if it doesn't actually impact where the ball physically lands. That said, while Wright and Bay will certainly like this news, I wonder how Johan Santana and RA Dickey feel about it? But, I guess that's Sandy's point. It shouldn't matter. It's about making the ballpark 'fair,' and so it all comes out even and makes it easier for the front office to accurately evaluate talent in a relative manner.[line]

GEORGE H. BUCK, an eminent jurist and popular citizen of Redwood City,
California, where for many years he has acted as Judge of San Mateo county, was
born in Harrison, Maine, in 1847. He
received a liberal education and for a time had charge of Gorham's Seminary and
Academy in that State. His mind took a
legal turn, and believing that the bar afforded him an opening, he entered the
office of Woodbury & Ingalls, of Boston, Massachusetts, as a student of
law, and was admitted to the bar in 1871.
Like most young attorneys, he found it necessary to turn his hand to
something while studying for his profession, and accordingly he became a
teacher in the Gorham Seminary, where he soon rose to be vice-principal. After being in this position for some time
he went West in search of a wider field for his ambition, taking with him a
letter from the authorities of the seminary to the effect that he was "eminently
well qualified as a teacher and disciplinarian." He next settled in Cincinnati, and soon became one of the
attorneys for the Indianapolis, Cincinnati & Lafayette Railroad, which
position he held for three years, when his health compelled him to seek a
milder climate. Accordingly, in 1875,
he came to California. In the fall of
1882 he was elected District Attorney, succeeding himself in the years 1884,
1886 and 1888. In the fall of 1890 he
was elected Judge of San Mateo county, to fill an unexpired term, and also for
the full term of six years, commencing January 1, 1891. It is a significant fact that, although he
has been a life-long Democrat in politics and his district is largely
Republican when party lines are drawn, yet such are his sterling traits of
character and professional ability that political preferences and prejudices
are laid aside at a convention or election when the magnetism of his personality
is exercised.
Buck was married July 14, 1892, to Miss Elizabeth King, an accomplished lady of
Redwood City, daughter of Henry King of that place.
Judge belongs to a number of secret societies, being a member of Metamora
Tribe, No. 24, of Redwood City, and was at the session of the Great Council
held in 1889, elevated to the stump of Great Sachem, from which position he
retired in August, 1890. He has also
held the fraternal office of Noble Grand Arch of the United Ancient Order of Druids,
from which office he retired in June, 1892.
the various walks of life Judge Buck has always been the same able,
unpretentious and benevolent gentleman and deservedly enjoys the esteem of a
large community.

Critical Essay by Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi
Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye is a novel portraying in poignant terms the tragic condition of blacks in a racist America. In her criticism of American life, she has structured her work in triadic patterns beginning with the reproduction of a passage three different times as the first three paragraphs of the work. Other triadic patterns emerge in her presentation of the tragedy of black life in relation to blacks, whites, and God or existential circumstances worked out through her thematic approach involving the problems of sex, racism, and love (or the dearth of love); in the aspect of ritual expressed through the scapegoat mechanism with the cat, the dog, and the girl, Pecola, as agents; and in the typology in the characterization affecting the three black family women—Geraldine, Mrs. MacTeer, and Mrs. Breedlove—and...

My Family doc mine was stress induced. Me being a scracher and a hair twister, didn't help only made it worse. So to avoid both I won't let me nails grow (past the tip on my finger I'm looking for a file!) And I wear a bandana if I'm going to be sitting and not useing my hands.
As far as cream/med to apply to the sores, Don'T I WISH! I was given 2 types of antibiotics an told to take benadryl (this time any way, last 2 round was a single anti.. So any help would be grrreat! My list is Very Oily hair (at times) flaky scalp, bumps with oily discharge then harden crusted scabs.(scalp an back of neck), & the tiny go an come seems as they please with oily stuff in them which cause my skin to feel as it's on fire.
And You know I thought really hard before my first Doctors visit as to what had happen,changed an so on. i totally understand the Stress Induced part but the ONLY thing I could come up with as far as "Change" was I had used Noxzema (not sure thats spelled right) for a few days or so before it started.
Any Advice would be GREAT! Doc said to use Head n Shoulders shampoo an Dial soap. Sometimes after showers aswell my skin feels like its on fire. PLEASE HELP! ThanksView Thread

In situ sound absorption measurement: investigations on oblique incidence
Kuipers, E.R. and Wijnant, Y.H. and Boer, A. de (2012) In situ sound absorption measurement: investigations on oblique incidence. In: DAGA 2012 Darmstadt, 2012-03-19 - 2012-03-22, Berlin (pp. 351 - 352).
236kB |
Abstract: | A novel method for the measurement of sound absorption has been developed. By assuming that, in a single point, the sound field consists of an incident- and a reflected plane wave, the locally incident- and reflected intensities can be determined. To this purpose, the active intensity and the sum of the potential-and the kinetic energy density (only the particle velocity component in the direction of interest is used) are measured. For normal incidence, the method was validated. Here, the method is applied to cases with oblique sound incidence. The influence of the angle of incidence and the non-planarity of the incident and reflected waves on the accuracy of the sound absorption coefficient are investigated. Analytical models as well as FE-simulations were applied to describe a few typical cases. Finally, parameter bounds for some applications will be given. |

Not much to say here except for the fact that the food here is simply dreadful. I dont know what was worse---the fact that the food arrived ice cold or the fact that it tasted like a 4yr old got a hold of some meat and a pan. Dry, flavorless, over cooked noodles, over cooked DARK MEAT chicken...how do you mess up pad thai this badly???

Abstract: | Modern telecommunication applications must provide high availability and performance. They must also be maintainable in order to reduce the maintenance cost and rime-to-marker for new versions. Previous studies have shown that the ambition to build maintainable systems may result in ver?: poor performance. Here we evaluate an application called SDP pre-paid and show that the ambition to build systems with high performance and availability can lead to a complex software design with poor maintainability. We show that more than 85% of the SDP code is due to performance and availability optimizations. By implementing a SDP prototype with an alternative architecture we show that the code size can be reduced with an order of magnitude by removing the performance and availability optimizations from the source code and instead using modern fault tolerant hardware and third party software. The performance and availability of the prototype is as least as good as the old SDI! The hardware and third parry software cost is only 20-30% higher for the prototype. We also define three guidelines that help us to focus the additional hardware investments to the parts where it is really needed. |

1 | Stoke | 5 | 11 |
2 | Beşiktaş | 5 | 9 |
3 | Dynamo Kyiv | 5 | 6 |
4 | M. Tel-Aviv | 5 | 1 |
Routed to the bottom of UEFA Europa League Group E, Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC know victory is paramount against Beşiktaş JK, if they harbour ambitions of reaching the round of 32.
Previous meetings
• Beşiktaş matched their best previous European home win and inflicted a repeat of Maccabi's heaviest continental defeat on matchday one, with the Black Eagles winning 5-1 in Istanbul. Hugo Almeida (3 & 28) put Beşiktaş ahead, and though Roi Kehat (48) struck back, Mehmet Aurélio (51), Egemen Korkmaz (53) and Edu (88) completed the rout.
• Maccabi have not won in five games against Turkish clubs, with a record of W0 D2 L3 (W0 D1 L1 at home).
• Beşiktaş's only previous experience of Israeli opposition came in the 1999/2000 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, when they were eliminated by Hapoel Haifa FC on away goals after following up a 1-1 home draw with a goalless tie in Israel.
Match background
• Prior to a 2-1 loss against Stoke on matchday four, Maccabi were unbeaten in 12 UEFA home games (eight wins and four draws). Going into matchday two's draw against FC Dynamo Kyiv, they had won their last six UEFA games at Bloomfield.
• Beşiktaş have lost their last four games on the road in Europe since a 2-1 win at PFC CSKA Sofia in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage.
Team facts
• Beşiktaş striker Edu will play his first game since turning 30 on the eve of the match.
• Maccabi boss Motti Iwanir spent much of his playing career at the club, leaving Israel only once for a spell with Dutch side Roda JC (1986-88). He was coach of Israel's Under-17 and then U21 teams before taking charge of his old team in 2011.
• Beşiktaş' Portuguese coach Carlos Carvalhal was once a defender for SC Braga and FC Porto among others. In 2009/10 he coached Sporting Clube de Portugal before coming to Istanbul in 2011.

CPS donations top $900,000
By Jennifer Hiller : November 28, 2012
CPS Energy employees, retirees and members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 500 have donated $900,741 to United Way in 2012, the utility announced.
Contributions topped last year's total by more than $20,000, even though the utility has 120 fewer employees. The annual golf tournament raised $39,000 for Children's Association for Maximum Potential, which serves children and adults with disabilities and special health care needs.
Employee giving averaged $238. CPS was named as United Way's large corporate volunteer of the year last June.

Elizabeth of Aragon
Elizabeth of Portugal | |
Santa Isabel de Portugal, by Francisco de Zurbarán, c. 1635
Queen consort of Portugal | |
Tenure | 7 January 1325 – July 4 1336 |
Spouse | Denis, King of Portugal |
Issue | Constanca, Queen of Castile Afonso IV, King of Portugal |
House | House of Barcellona |
Father | Peter III, King of Aragon |
Mother | Constance of Sicily |
Born | 1271 Aljafería Palace, Zaragoza, Kingdom of Aragon[1] |
Died | 4 July 1336 Estremoz Castle in Estremoz, Alentejo, Kingdom of Portugal |
Religion | Catholic Church |
Elizabeth of Aragon, more commonly known as Elizabeth of Portugal,[2] T.O.S.F. (1271 – 4 July 1336; Elisabet in Catalan, Isabel in Aragonese, Portuguese and Spanish), was queen consort of Portugal, a tertiary of the Franciscan Order and is venerated as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
Elizabeth showed an early enthusiasm for her Faith. She said the full Divine Office daily, fasted and did other penance, as well as attended twice-daily choral Masses. Religious fervor was common in her family, as she could count several members of her family who were already venerated as saints. The most notable example is her great-aunt, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, after whom she was named.
Her marriage to King Denis of Portugal was arranged in 1281 when she was 10 years old, receiving the towns of Óbidos, Abrantes and Porto de Mós as part of her dowry.[3] It was only in 1288 that the wedding was celebrated, when Denis was 26 years old, while Elizabeth was 17.[3] Denis, a poet and statesman, known as the Rei Lavrador (English: Farmer King), because he planted a large pine forest near Leiria to prevent the soil degradation that threatened the region.
Elizabeth quietly pursued the regular religious practices of her youth and was devoted to the poor and sick. Naturally, such a life was a reproach to many around her and caused ill will in some quarters. A popular story is told of how her husband's jealousy was aroused by an evil-speaking page, of how he condemned the queen's supposed guilty accomplice to a cruel death and was finally convinced of her innocence by the strange accidental substitution of her accuser for the intended victim.
Elizabeth took an active interest in Portuguese politics and was a decisive conciliator during the negotiations concerning the Treaty of Alcañices, signed by Denis and Sancho IV of Castile in 1297 (which fixed the borders between the two countries).[3] In 1304, the Queen and Denis returned to Spain to arbitrate between Fernando IV of Castile and James II of Aragon, brother of Elizabeth.[3]
She had two children:
- a daughter named Constance, who married King Ferdinand IV of Castile;
- a son Afonso (who later became King Afonso IV of Portugal).
St. Elizabeth of Portugal. | |
Queen, Widow and tertiary | |
Canonized | 25 May 1625, Rome by Pope Urban VIII |
Major shrine | Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova, Coimbra, Portugal[1] |
Feast | 4 July; 8 July (1694–1969 calendars) |
Elizabeth would serve as intermediary between her husband and Afonso, during the Civil War between 1322 and 1324. The Infante greatly resented the king, whom he accused of favoring the king's illegitimate son, Afonso Sanches.[3] Repulsed to Alenquer, which supported the Infante, Denis of Portugal was prevented from killing his son through the intervention of the Queen. As legend holds, in 1323, Elizabeth, mounted on a mule, positioned herself between both opposing armies on the field of Alvalade in order to prevent the combat.[3] Peace returned in 1324, once the illegitimate son was sent into exile, and the Infante swore loyalty to the king.[3]
Dowager Queen[edit]
After Denis' death in 1325, Elizabeth retired to the monastery of the Poor Clare nuns, now known as the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha (which she had founded in 1314) in Coimbra. She joined the Third Order of St. Francis, devoting the rest of her life to the poor and sick in obscurity. During the great famine in 1293, she donated flour from her cellars to the starving in Coimbra, but was also known for distributing small gifts, paying the dowries of poor girls, educating the children of poor nobles, and was a benefactor of various hospitals (Coimbra, Santarém and Leiria) and of religious projects (such as the Trinity Convent in Lisbon, chapels in Leiria and Óbidos, and the cloister in Alcobaça.[4]>
She was called to act once more as a peacemaker in 1336, when Afonso IV marched his troops against King Alfonso XI of Castile, to whom he had married his daughter Maria, and who had neglected and ill-treated her. In spite of age and weakness, the Queen-dowager insisted on hurrying to Estremoz, where the two kings' armies were drawn up. She again stopped the fighting and caused terms of peace to be arranged. But the exertion brought on her final illness. As soon as her mission was completed, she took to her bed with a fever from which she died on 4 July, in the castle of Estremoz.
Although Denis' tomb was located in Odivelas, Elizabeth was buried in the Convent of Santa Clara in Coimbra, in a magnificent Gothic sarcophagus. After frequent flooding by the Mondego River in the 17th century, the Poor Clares moved her mortal remains to the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova (also in Coimbra). Her body was transferred to the main chapel, where it was buried in a sarcophagus of silver and crystal.
Miracles were said to have followed upon her death. She was beatified in 1526 and canonized by Pope Urban VIII on 25 May 1625.[5] Her feast was inserted in the General Roman Calendar for celebration on 4 July. In the year 1694 Pope Innocent XII moved her feast to 8 July, so it would not conflict with the celebration of the Octave of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles.[6] In 1955, Pope Pius XII abolished this octave.[7] The 1962 Roman Missal changed the rank of the feast from "Double" to "Third-Class Feast".[8] The 1969 revision of the Calendar classified the celebration as an optional memorial and restored it to 4 July. Her feast is also kept on the Franciscan Calendar of Saints.
Family and Ancestors[edit]
Isabel (as she remains known by speakers of Portuguese and Spanish) was named after her grand-aunt Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. King Alfonso III of Aragon, King James II of Aragon and King Frederick III of Sicily were her brothers.
Popular culture[edit]
She was the subject of a 1947 Portuguese-Spanish film The Holy Queen in which she was played by Maruchi Fresno.
