Demonax

Demonax (Δημώναξ, Dēmōnax, gen.: Δημώνακτος; c. AD 70 – c. 170) was a Greek Cynic philosopher. Born in Cyprus, he moved to Athens, where his wisdom, and his skill in solving disputes, earned him the admiration of the citizens. He taught Lucian, who wrote a Life of Demonax in praise of his teacher. When he died he received a magnificent public funeral.

Life
The only source known for the life of Demonax is Lucian, who describes Demonax in glowing terms, in contrast to the disreputable Cynics whom Lucian reviled. He is not mentioned by any other contemporary writer. He is mentioned in the 5th century by Eunapius, but only because he knows of him from Lucian's work. It is possible, therefore, that Demonax is a character invented by Lucian. There are, however, some sayings attributed to Demonax found in anthologies compiled by later writers which are not found in Lucian's work.

Demonax was born c. 70 AD, in Cyprus, where he belonged to an influential family. He was led by a love of philosophy to become a philosopher. He was taught by the best philosophers of the day, including Agathobulus, Demetrius, and Epictetus. He eventually moved to Athens, where he seems initially to have offended the citizens, but eventually he came to be regarded with reverence for his resolute character: "To a natural impulse towards the good, an innate yearning for philosophy which manifested itself in childish years, that he owed his superiority to all the things that ordinary men pursue. He took independence and candour for his guiding principles, lived himself an upright, wholesome, irreproachable life, and exhibited to all who saw or heard him the model of his own disposition and philosophic sincerity."

He is described as a peace-maker, able to bring harmony between husband and wife, and to solve disputes between brothers. Lucian compares him to both Socrates and Diogenes, and when Demonax was asked which philosophers he preferred, he is said to have replied, "I admire them all; Socrates I revere, Diogenes I admire, Aristippus I love."

When Demonax was once asked why he never sacrificed to Athena, he replied, "he did not sacrifice to Athena, because she could not want his offerings." Similarly, he avoided initiation into the Eleusinian Mysteries, saying, "if the mysteries were bad, no one ought to be initiated; if good, they should be divulged to everybody."

He apparently lived to be nearly a hundred, by which time the Athenians loved him dearly: "Not Athens only, but all Greece was so in love with him that as he passed the great would give him place and there would be a general hush. Towards the end of his long life he would go uninvited into the first house that offered, and there get his dinner and his bed, the household regarding it as the visit of some heavenly being which brought them a blessing. When they saw him go by, the baker-wives would contend for the honour of supplying him, and a happy woman was the actual donor. Children too used to call him father, and bring him offerings of fruit."

He was said to have died (c. 170 AD) by starving himself, and the Athenians gave him a magnificent public funeral.

The crater Demonax on the Moon is named after him. Demonax is also a genus of longicorn beetles (Cerambycidae), characterised in part by possessing several spines on their antennae.

Lucian's Life of Demonax
Most of Lucian's account of Demonax is filled with pithy sayings in order to illustrate Demonax's wit. Long lists of anecdotes (known as chreia), were often collected concerning philosophers, especially Cynic philosophers, in order to demonstrate their character and wit:

"When he once had a winter voyage to make, a friend asked how he liked the thought of being capsized and becoming food for fishes. 'I should be very unreasonable to mind giving them a meal, considering how many they have given me.'"

"To a rhetorician who had given a very poor declamation he recommended constant practice. 'Why, I am always practising to myself,' said the man. 'Ah, that accounts for it; you are accustomed to such a foolish audience.'"

"When someone asked him who he thinks as a truly happy man, he replied 'the truly happy man is the free man. I'm talking about the one who neither hopes nor fears anything.'"

"When another person kept himself shut up in the dark, mourning his son, Demonax represented himself to him as a magician: he would call up the son’s ghost, the only condition being that he should be given the names of three people who had never had to mourn. The father hum’d and ha’d, unable, doubtless, to produce any such person, till Demonax broke in: ‘And have you, then, a monopoly of the unendurable, when you cannot name a man who has not some grief to endure?’ (compare the story of Kisa Gotami)."

Talk:Tenleytown–AU station

Untitled
Was the stop called "Tenley Circle" or just "Tenley Town"? I ask because the latter is on signage at some stations (spotted it at Metro Center, for example). Frankg 02:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

 * "Tenley Circle" was the original planned name for the station. I'm not certain whether or not the station actually opened with that name, though. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

PR issue?
The article says, "Originally, the station was named simply 'Tenley Circle'; however, American University paid WMATA to change the name for public relations purposes." What was their reasoning? Why is Tenleytown better than Tenley Circle? I'd like to see that explained. Beginning 02:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * It also added "-AU" after it. --Golbez 02:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Hence my question about whether or not "Tenley Town" or something similar was the true original name. Anyone know is there's any background info on this online or anywhere else? Frankg 03:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Right, but I take the article to mean that the college felt there was some sort of difference between Tenley Circle and Tenleytown. Otherwise, why would they have requested that it be changed, if they in fact did so? (There's no source, of course.) Should we not explain that? Beginning 23:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I placed a tag on that, because it needs a citation. It could very well fall under Metro's station renaming policy, where if a jurisdiction wants a station renamed, they may do so, but must pay to update all the signage. That's how we recently got Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood, Archives-Navy Mem'l-Penn Quarter, and New York Ave-Florida Ave-Gallaudet U, after all. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Ah, thanks. I had been hoping that you, with your extensive knowledge of All Things Metro, would know the source off-hand, but I guess not. :) I should've asked while I was standing in their admissions office on Friday... Beginning 02:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * That would unfortunately be original research (darn!). What's funny, though, is that the Tenleytown-AU station name isn't that different from other similarly-named stations: Virginia Square-GMU, and Foggy Bottom-GWU (I realize there are others, but those college-style names are more recent than Tenleytown-AU). Thus why the fuss about Tenleytown? Additionally, other stations had their names changed early on - you don't see stations named "Marine Barracks", "Weapons Depot", or "Zoological Park", do you? All in all, it's likely much ado about nothing. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:03, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * That would unfortunately be original research (darn!). <-- I don't care about the article -- I just want the answer for myself! It's that "Tenley Circle" to "Tenleytown" change that has me intrigued. Must...find...answer... But I agree that it's odd to have "fuss," as you said, about a name change, which is why it stands out even more in this article. Beginning 03:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Van Ness–UDC station

Someone write an entry on the history of the van ness name... any relation to Van Ness St. in San Francisco?

Well, the information currently in the article (that Van Ness is derived from the businesses in the area) is incorrect. The name derives from Van Ness Street NW, which intersects Connecticut Avenue NW a block south of the station entrance. So I'm removing that. The Van Ness that SF and DC streets are named after is probably a revolutionary war hero or some such. 74.73.86.222 02:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Vodenos

Vodenos or Vosenios was a king of the Cantiaci of south-eastern Britain, and is known only from coin legends. He seems to have succeeded Dubnovellaunus to the throne of the Cantiaci towards the end of the 1st century BC, although their reigns may have been contemporary or overlapped. He ruled until ca. 15 AD, and was succeeded by Eppillus, probably the former king of the Atrebates.

Victims of the Past

Victims of the Past (original German title: Opfer der Vergangenheit: Die Sünde wider Blut und Rasse, English: Victims of the Past: The Sin against Blood and Race) is a Nazi propaganda film made in 1937, directed by Gernot Bock-Stieber and Kurt Botner.

This movie was a sequel to Erbkrank (Hereditary Illness), which showed images of inmates of German asylums in order to bolster public support for the planned T-4 Euthanasia Program for the mentally ill. The practices of providing institutions and care for the victims of hereditary diseases are described as transgressing the law of natural selection, and the expense of such care is depicted as drain on healthy workers, and preventing the use of such money to help healthy Germans make better lives.

It was shown in every cinema in Germany. Adolf Hitler reportedly liked it.

Like the other five movies depicting the condition of the mentally ill in Germany, the movie was produced by the NS-Rasse und Politisches Amt (National Socialist Racial and Political Office). However, this film was the only one produced with sound.

Matthiessen State Park

Matthiessen State Park is an Illinois state park located a few miles south of the more famous Starved Rock State Park. The main entrances to both parks are located on Illinois State Route 178.

History

The park is near Oglesby, in LaSalle County, Illinois, United States. It is named for Frederick William Matthiessen, who had originally owned the 176 acres of property that is at the core of the current park. Two mansions, several cottages, a garage, and a private fire station were built here by Matthiessen for his family. It was an estate that hosted a private park known as "Deer Park". The park was donated to Illinois by Matthiessen's heirs, following his death in 1918, and was renamed in his honor in 1943. Since then, land was added, growing the park to 1938 acres. The last building of the former estate was destroyed in 1981, although some of the concrete stairs leading into the canyon are of the original construction.

Geology
The park is centered on a stream that flows from Matthiessen Lake to the Vermilion River. The stream has eroded partway through the sandstone layers, leaving interesting rock formations and drops. The Upper Dells begin at Matthiessen Lake with the Lake Falls, which drop into the canyon below, and continue downstream to the 45 ft Cascade Falls where the Lower Dells begin. The interesting coloration of many of the canyons is the result of minerals in the groundwater. Many mineral springs exist throughout the park, providing salt lick spots for the large deer population.

Flora
The cool and damp canyons provide an ideal habitat for many species of mosses, liverworts, and ferns. On top of the bluffs that form the canyons can be found black oak (Quercus velutina), red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and white oak (Quercus alba) trees, which thrive in the sandy soil. The park contains several species generally found farther north, such as the Canada yew (Taxus canadensis) and Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense).

Fauna
Frogs, toads, and salamanders live on the canyon floors, while bird species such as the cliff swallow nest in the eroded canyon walls. As the former name of "Deer Park" might suggest, the area is home to a very large population of white-tail deer.

Recreation
Today there are five miles of marked hiking trails, in addition to nine miles of mountain biking and equestrian trails. The Plum Island Eagle Sanctuary is located nearby.

Underbool

Underbool is a town in the Mallee region of north-west Victoria, Australia. The town is in the Rural City of Mildura local government area and on the Mallee Highway—between Ouyen and the South Australian border – 476 km north west of the state capital, Melbourne. The town services the grain farmers and graziers in the area. For tourists it provides access to the Pink Lakes in Murray-Sunset National Park.

The town name is thought to come from the German word underbolt given to it by surveyor Dr. Neumayer when he camped there in October 1861.

A post office opened on 15 July 1912 when a regular mail service was provided by the opening of the railway from Ouyen to Murrayville a month earlier.

Underbool Primary School (No. 3819) opened on 5 November 1913, with a purpose-built school building opening in June 1919. A second weatherboard building was built in 1929, and the former Daalko school building moved there in 1967.

With its neighbouring township Walpeup Underbool had a football team (Walpeup-Underbool) in the Mallee Football League until the league folded in 2015. The team merged with Ouyen and play two matches a season in Underbool in the Sunraysia Football League. Golfers play at the course of the Underbool Golf Club on Monash Avenue.

Nor Crystal Tears

Nor Crystal Tears is a science fiction novel by American writer Alan Dean Foster, first published  on 12 August  1982. Foster's ninth book set in the Humanx Commonwealth, it is a first-contact story about the meeting of the insectoid Thranx and Man. This sets in motion the creation of the Humanx Commonwealth; the political body that is the union of human and thranx society which forms the foundation for many of Foster's science-fiction novels.

Nor Crystal Tears is written from the perspective of the Thranx and the cultural lens through which they encounter the monstrous, fleshy alien mammals known as humans. A primary theme is the paranoia and fear the two vastly different races naturally have for each other upon first contact, but also how individuals are able to overcome these innate fears and prejudices and set in motion the foundation for what would become Foster's Humanx Commonwealth.

Foster would further expand on this theme with another alien race, the furry Quozl, in their eponymous novel.

Plot summary
The story follows a Thranx, Ryozenzuzex (i.e. Ryo, of Family Zen, clan Zu, Hive Zex) who came from an odd-numbered hatching (thranx offspring almost always come in multiples of two) immediately making him somewhat different from his brethren. Setting himself aside as different Ryo decides that he has to know what is the secret of the new space-faring race that supposedly wear "their skeletons inside". To accomplish this un-thranxlike task, Ryo travels from his home planet, Willow-Wane, to the ice caps of the Thranx home world, Hivehom with the aid of the wealthy Wuuzelansem, a poet in search of inspiration. Once on Hivehom he is confronted with the "monsters" and comes to the conclusion that they must set them free, believing that an alliance between Thranx and these so-called "humans" is the only way to stop the aggressive advances of the AAnn Empire.

Thranx military and scientists, by studying the contained humans tendency to fight amongst each other came to the conclusion that the entire species could be insane and would destroy Thranx society if they were to attempt any further contact. Ryo, after spending a good amount of time with the humans, decides to aid in their escape from Hivehom. Once they escape, they return to a human research station where the reaction to Ryo is worse than anticipated. When the scientists there decide to kill and dissect Ryo the crew he rescued from Hivehom returns the favor and helps him escape his death sentence. It is at this point Ryo and the crew come to the conclusion that they must start a long-term program in order to properly integrate human and thranx society.

With the scientists he befriended on Hivehom, Ryo brings a group of human children and researchers to interact with a group of Thranx larvae on his home of Willow-Wane in an attempt to build lasting race relations. The larvae and human children seem to get along well and the compatibility between the two races is confirmed. When an AAnn raiding party attacks Ryo's hive, the militant humans take action which results in a formal first contact between both human and Thranx governments.

By his risky actions, Ryo plants the seeds of what would become the Humanx Commonwealth.

Characters

 * Ryozenzuzex: The novel's central protagonist Ryo was hatched from an odd number of eggs on the Thranx colony world of Willow-Wane and from his larva stage was always a voracious learner. He wanted to be able to learn aspects of all subjects, but this was discouraged and he ultimately chose the career path of agriculture, yet he still yearned for something more.  When he heard of the potential existence of a strange, fleshy sentient life he left Willow-Wane on a mad quest.  In his journey Ryo would form the foundation for the unity between Humans and Thranx that would become the Humanx Commonwealth.  His always supportive premate is Falmiensazex.
 * Wuuzelansem: One of the most well-known poets in all of Thranx space, and a native of Willow-Wane, Wuu encounters Ryo when the young thranx attempts a failed mugging. Listening to Ryo's explanation of his yearning to seek out this strange new sentient species, Wuu decides to take Ryo in on an adventure, because the poet sees every new experience as a source of inspiration (A quality that carries over to his future student, Desvendapur, who also plays a crucial role in the foundations of the Humanx Commonwealth).

I like the idea of the locations nearby, but do wonder how to best format it so that it doesn't become a lengthy list. How is a location determined to be WP:NOTE? Kramerbooks is mentioned, but not Melody Records? The Electronic Privacy Information Center also has an office nearby and in some circles they are more significant than Brookings.

 * Five Guys, mmmmm. Loves it. Some ideas for determining which notable places should be mentioned: 1)Only mention businesses/organizations that are within a 3 block radius, 2)Don't include small stores and restaurants, 3)Pick a number, as in people agree that no more than number places should be mentioned, 4)Remove the list and don't worry about it. 5) I'm still thinking...

Accuracy of reproduction of poetry
Looking at the quotes stanza of Walt Whitman's poetry I cannot help but wonder how accurate it is. Is the hyphen correct, or is there an em dash there instead. Logic would make me think so, but the only time that I visited DuPont Circle, in 1984, I forgot what I saw. The other question that strikes me is the ellipsis at the end of the quoted matter. Is it there at the end of the line too?

The bits I want to have quoted correctly are—
 * I sit by the restless all dark night - some are so young;
 * Some suffer so much - I recall the experience sweet and sad...

Can we get this fixed soon?59.100.21.85 (talk) 07:10, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

 * The whole thing is engraved on one line around the opening (added in 2007), and the ellipsis does exist at the end of the line. The hyphen/dash matter, that's probably supposed to be a dash, but the hyphen is on the keyboard, so someone substituted, I suppose. SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:31, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks SchuminWeb, that's a great description of the stanza as represented! Brilliant. But I do see in the first photo that there is also a comma before the ellipses. And comparing the text in my book with the photo at your second reference it looks like the mason took some liberties with the shortness of the dash/hyphen. So I'll leave that alone. Thanks for the photos. They make it so much easier to get editing right. Lin (talk) 06:37, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Sandy Hume

Alexander Britton Hume Jr. (September 2, 1969 – February 23, 1998), known as Sandy Hume, was an American journalist. He worked for The Hill newspaper in Washington, D.C. He was the son of Brit Hume (former Fox News Channel managing editor) and Clare Jacobs Stoner.

Career
Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, Hume attended Middlebury College in Vermont, lettered in varsity lacrosse for the Panthers, and graduated with honors. He embarked on a career in journalism, and broke the story of the aborted 1997 "coup" by U.S. Rep. Bill Paxon (R-NY) against Speaker Newt Gingrich. Another of the plotters, Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX), scuttled the coup when he learned that Paxon, and not he, would replace Gingrich. Armey reportedly later disavowed the whole attempt when he learned that he would not be the one to become speaker.

Veteran Washington reporter and commentator Robert Novak called Hume's Republican coup story "perhaps the greatest expose of behind-the-scenes Capitol Hill machinations that I had seen in half a century of Congress-watching." When Republican spin-doctors claimed that they merely wanted to warn Gingrich about the "coup", Novak wrote that "after extensive checking of sources, I am convinced that Hume's reporting was 100 percent correct." Brit Hume stated that Sandy Hume posted Novak's column confirmation column on his wall. When Sandy Hume died in 1998 at age 28, he had been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and had been pursued by U.S. News and Fox News.

Death
Hume died by suicide in his apartment in Arlington, Virginia. In the months before his death, Hume, an alcoholic, began drinking again. The night before he died, he was jailed for drunk driving and tried to hang himself in the U.S. Park Police jail cell. He was evaluated at a psychiatric facility and released. He went home and took his life with a hunting rifle after leaving a lengthy note expressing shame at the previous night's events. He was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

Sandy Hume Memorial Award
The National Press Club honors Hume's memory with the Sandy Hume Memorial Award for Excellence in Political Journalism, awarded annually.

Alexandra High School

Alexandra High School as AHS is a semi-private public high school in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It offers a co-educational environment.

History
Alexandra High School is named after Queen Alexandra Caroline, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom. It opened on 23 February 1960. Though it was initially a whites-only, all-boys school, the first non-white pupil was admitted in June 1991. Alexandra High School became co-educational at the beginning of 1992. The school colours are maroon and blue.

The Badge, Houses and Motto
Mr Udal, the first headmaster, designed the school emblem, from the royal coat of arms of Queen Alexandra. Mr Udal took the Maltese Cross to incorporate in the badge. Mr Lee Boyd, M.E.C. for Education in the N.P.A. at the time of the school's inception and ex-mayor of Durban was a Knight of da Game in the Roman Catholic Church. The cross was given to Boyd's House as their symbol.

Then Mr Downs, Mayor of Pietermaritzburg, was approached for permission to use part of the city's coat of arms – hence the Elephant – emblem of Downs House.

Mr Allison, three times mayor, M.P.C. and freeman of the city, a neighbour of the school who took a great interest in Alex, had Allison's House named after him, and the Stars from the city's coat of arms formed the symbol of the house.

Shepstone House was named after the Administrator of Natal at the time of the purchase of land for the school, and as he had attended Queen Elizabeth's coronation, the crown was to be Shepstone's symbol.

Succeeding Mr Shepstone as Administrator was Mr Trollip. He was approached for permission to use part of the Natal badge – hence the Wildebeest (provided they faced the correct way and had white manes and tails). The wildebeest are the symbol of Trollip's House.

For the motto, Mr Udal's signet ring bore the words, Tant Que je Puis – archaic French, meaning "I do my best". Mr Lamond of Maritzburg College translated this into the Latin, Summa diligentia laboro. Then Mr Udal and his wife chose the colours of sky blue and maroon, and with the help of a local outfitter, devised blazers, badges, colours, rugby jerseys and all the other needs of a school.

The mural on the hall
The plaque was designed and built by the late Miss Syliva Baxter. It took months of work to mould, colour and bake the clay. It was fired in forty six pieces of ceramic clay, measuring 4 metres by 2 metres and its mass is over a ton. Metallic oxides were used to give it colour.

The plaque was unveiled by the late Senator A E Trollip, then Administrator of Natal, when the school was officially opened on 25 September 1964.

Lankenau Medical Center

Lankenau Medical Center, part of Main Line Health, is a 370-bed acute care, teaching hospital in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania.

Lankenau Medical Center's clinical areas include the Lankenau Heart Institute, the gastrointestinal and GI endoscopy program, cancer care services, pulmonology, orthopaedics, obstetrics and maternity, including and a level III neonatal intensive care unit, as well as minimally invasive and robotic surgery. The campus is also home to the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research and the Annenberg Center for Medical Education.

History
Initially chartered in 1860 as the German Hospital of Philadelphia, the facility opened in 1866 on Morris Street in North Philadelphia. With the entry of the United States into World War I in 1917, many German institutions took new names. The German Hospital renamed itself Lankenau Hospital after John D. Lankenau, a German-born Philadelphia businessman who had been one of the hospital's first leaders.

The hospital moved to larger facilities at Girard and Corinthian Avenues in North Philadelphia in 1884. In December 1953, Lankenau moved to Wynnewood on the Main Line, occupying the site of the former Overbrook Country Club.

In October 1984, the hospital joined with Bryn Mawr Hospital and the Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital under a nonprofit umbrella organization, Main Line Health.

In 2010, Main Line began renovating the hospital, adding a 96-bed Heart Pavilion, dedicated to cardiovascular care, a parking garage, and a central utility plant. The expanded facilities were renamed Lankenau Medical Center.

Erbkrank

Erbkrank (Hereditary Disease) is a 1936 Nazi propaganda film directed by Herbert Gerdes.

Erbkrank was one of six propagandistic movies produced by the NS-Rasse und Politisches Amt (National Socialist Racial and Political Office), from 1935 to 1937 to demonize people in Germany diagnosed with mental illness and mental retardation. The goal was to gain public support for the T-4 Euthanasia Program then in preparation. This film, as the others, featured footage of patients in German psychiatric hospitals.

Adolf Hitler reportedly liked the film so much that he encouraged the production of the full-length film Victims of the Past: The Sin against Blood and Race. In 1937, Erbkrank was reportedly showing in nearly all Berlin film theaters.

Prior to World War II, the film was distributed in America through the Pioneer Fund.

Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor

The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor was an initiatic occult organization that first became public in late 1894, although according to an official document of the order it began its work in 1870. According to this document, authored by Peter Davidson, the order was established by Max Théon, who when in England was initiated as a Neophyte by "an adept of the serene, ever-existing and ancient Order of the original H. B. of L."

History
Theon became Grand Master of the Exterior Circle of the Order. However, apart from his initiatory role, he seems to have little to do with the day to day running of the order, or of its teachings. He seems to have left these things to Peter Davidson, who was the Provincial Grand Master of the North (Scotland), and later also the Eastern Section (America).

The order's teachings drew heavily from the magico-sexual theories of Paschal Beverly Randolph, who influenced groups such as Ordo Templi Orientis, although it is not clear whether or not Randolph himself was actually a part of the Order.

The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor (HBoL), while not the first of its kind, is a notable addition to the relatively small number of publicly known Orders from its era that openly taught practical occultism within the Western Mystery Tradition. This organization's contributions are significant in the context of the 19th-century occult revival, particularly for its emphasis on practical, experiential methods over purely theoretical teachings. Its curriculum and activities provided a foundation for later esoteric groups and had a lasting impact on the development of modern Western esotericism.

Among its members were a number of occultists, spiritualists, and Theosophists. Initial relations between the Order and the Theosophical Society were cordial, with most members of the order also prominent members of the T.S.

Later there was a falling out, as the Order was opposed to the eastern-based teachings of the later Blavatsky (Davidson considered that Blavatsky had fallen under the influence of "a greatly inferior Order, belonging to the Buddhist [sic] Cult"). Conversely, the conviction in 1883 of the Secretary of the Order, Thomas Henry Burgoyne for fraud, was claimed by the Theosophists to show the immorality of the Order. The Order's relation, if any, with the mysterious "Brotherhood of Luxor" that Helena Blavatsky spoke of is not clear.
