The effortlessly suave Romanian-born actor Pál Jávor (1902-1959) was one of the first stars of the Hungarian sound cinema. His glamorous and highly successful stage and film career was broken, first by the German invasion of Hungary and again by the Communist government after the war. He moved to Hollywood where he only could play bit parts.
Pál Jávor (sometimes credited as Paul Javor) was born Pál Jermann in Arad, Austria-Hungary (now Romania), in 1902. He was the lovechild of Pál Jermann, a 53-year-old cashier and Katalin Spannenberg, a 17-year-old servant. His parents, who only married after his birth, had 3 children to care for, which made life hard for the family, who often moved. His mother later opened a grocery store in Arad's Kossuth street. Jávor was a student in a state operated gymnasium, but often played truant to see movies in the town's two theatres. From very early on, he wanted to break away from his homeland, and from the simple life his mother wished for him. During World War I, he ran away to serve on the front as a courier. He was caught and transported back months later by military police. In 1918, after working as a junior reporter for the Aradi Hírlap, he set out to emigrate to Denmark, so he could act in the Danish films he idolized. As the state offered free train tickets to anyone who wished to leave the country, he willingly chose self-banishment from Romania, but his ticket was revoked in Budapest. Jávor, now seeking to gain fame in the Hungarian capital, went to study in the Academy of Drama. Living in great poverty, and expelled from the Academy for unknown reasons, he earned his degree in the Actor's Guild school, in 1922. Jávor acted in various theatres in Budapest, Székesfehérvár and several other small towns, but his dissolute lifestyle made him hard to work with. After being banned from the Guild in 1926, he acted in small roles around the country, and later in Budapest, helped by mentors from the theatrical world, and slowly waking the interest of the critics. He was a member of the Vígszínház, the Comedy Theatre of Budapest, between 1930–1935, and the National Theatre between 1935-1944.
In 1929, Pál Jávor finally got the opportunity to appear in the cinema. He then starred in Csak egy kislány van a világon/The Only Girl in the World (Béla Gaál, 1929) opposite Márta Eggerth, also in her film debut. It was to be the last Hungarian silent film, but, ironically, this was also the first one to feature sound. The film’s technicians got hold of the technology by the last days of shooting. This allowed Jávor to sing a song in one of the scenes, which, combined with his charm and temperament made him a star of the country's waking film industry. D Lewis at IMDb: “Despite some slow passages and ellipses in the story caused by missing footage, Csak egy kislány van a világon is an inspired effort with some genuinely great things in it. Director Gaál would go, with considerable success, into comedies in the 1930s, but would end his days, regrettably, in either the Dachau Concentration Camp or at the hands of Nazis on a Budapest street, depending on which account one accepts.” Jávor took the lead role in the first Hungarian sound film, the comedy Kék Bálvány/A blue idol (Lajos Lázár, 1931) with Oscar Beregi Sr. Then followed a smaller part in the second Hungarian sound film, the comedy Hyppolit, a lakáj/Hyppolit, the Butler (István Székely aka Steve Sekely, 1931) starring Gyula Csortos and Gyula Kabos, which became a huge box office hit. Director Istvan Szekeley left Hungary in 1938 to relocate in Hollywood, where he continued to work under the name of Steve Sekely. Hyppolit, a lakáj was shown again in Hungarian cinemas in 1945, 1956 and 1972, and later also returned several times on TV. After this success, the suave and charming Jávor quickly became an idol of the 1930s, appearing in numerous films, but he also remained popular on stage. However, the sudden fame weighed heavily on the young actor, leading to him returning to alcohol. His frequent clashes with colleagues and journalists, resulted in numerous scandals. His life was eased when he met and Olga Landesmann, a widow with two children. After their marriage in 1934, she provided him with a home and family. Among his best known films of that period are the drama Marika (Viktor Gertler, 1938), and the comedy A Noszty fiú esete Tóth Marival/ I Married for Love (Steve Sekely (as István Székely), 1938). There is also a German-language version of the latter, Ihr Leibhusar/Her personal Hussar (Hubert Marischka, 1938), in which he co-stars with Magda Schneider and Paul Kemp. He appeared in more foreign films, including the Austrian-German production Donauschiffer/Danube boat (Robert A. Stemmle, 1940) with Hilde Krahl, and the Italian Inferno giallo/Yellow Hell (Géza von Radványi, 1942) with Fosco Giachetti.
After 1940, World War II slowly became part of life for Hungarian citizens and the theatre world alike, working conditions became increasingly harsher, which Pál Jávor could hardly bear. Being anxious about the regulation of the theatre, and the defaming of fellow actors, he often clashed with superiors. Charged with making unlawful political comments, he became the target of the Gestapo. After hiding in Balatonfüred and Agárd, he returned to Budapest, thinking that the danger of arrest was over. After another quarrel with the Actor's Guild's manager, the Guild suspended him from practicing the profession, and also banned his films. After the German invasion of Hungary, Pál Jávor was arrested by Arrow party members. Jávor was first held in the prison of Sopronkőhida under dire conditions, then transported to Germany. After being liberated by Allied forces, he awaited for the end of the war in Tann and Pfarrkirchen in Austria. His confinement lasted over 9 months, about which he wrote a recollection published in 1946. After the war Jávor found that the theatre world had largely rejected him, offering him only a few roles. The intellectual and cultural cleansing of the new Communist government left him virtually no possibilities. In, 1946, Jávor made a successful tour of Romania, and then travelled to the United States. After arriving in the United States, he was met with great acclaim by the emigrant community, but despite this, he could only arrange small comedic and musical shows, which he found humiliating. Slowly sinking into depression and reaching again for alcohol, the quality of his shows also sank, emptying audience seats. While he thought about returning home, he received no encouraging news from Hungary, and the increasingly tense political situation also forced him to remain in the States. He travelled to Hollywood to seek film roles, but his lack of English left him few possibilities, like the role of Antonio Scotti in the film The Great Caruso (Richard Thorpe, 1951), starring Mario Lanza. The castings were humiliating and the small roles degrading. Jávor joined a touring group, performing Hungarian hit songs and oldies. Later he also worked part-time as a gatekeeper, and computer operator. During his 11 years in the US, Jávor met numerous difficulties, but he later also remembered joyful moments: he wrote numerous articles in American-Hungarian papers, and with his journalist ID he could visit cinemas for free. Through a voluntary detoxication cure, he gave up his alcohol-addiction, and befriended several emigrant artists living in America, including Sándor Márai. In 1956, touring Israel with an occasional group, he learnt that he could finally go home. In 1957, he returned to Budapest, awaited by friends, and jobs in the Jókai and Petőfi theatres. However, the years of hardships laid still fresh on Jávor, and several critics found his acting lacking. But his still living legend carried him on, making several successful appearances, and he also was offered a film deal. But his health could not tolerate the highly intensive life, and after a seizure in 1958, he was transported to a hospital which he never left. While spending over one year in bed, the National Theatre re-hired him, and he was often visited by old friends, also resolving some grudges of the past. But his state worsened, and Pál Jávor died in 1959. He was 57. His burial was a theatrical ceremony, his coffin followed by tens of thousands of fans to the Farkasréti Cemetery.

Stanford Memorial Church is located on the Main Quad at the center of the Stanford University campus in Stanford, California, United States. It was built during the American Renaissance by Jane Stanford as a memorial to her husband Leland. Wikipedia
Stanford was founded by Leland Stanford, a railroad magnate, U.S. senator, and former California governor, together with his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford. It is named in honor of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., who died in 1884 from typhoid fever just before his 16th birthday. His parents decided to dedicate a university to their only son, and Leland Stanford told his wife, "The children of California shall be our children.
The main campus is located in northern Santa Clara Valley adjacent to Palo Alto and between San Jose and San Francisco.

Pals is a medieval town in Catalonia, northern Spain a few kilometres from the sea in the heart of the Bay of Emporda on the Costa Brava.
Pals has a historic centre on a hill surrounded by plains with a medieval Romanesque tower built between the 11th and 13th centuries, known as the Torre de les Hores (Tower of the Hours).
The Gothic Quarter of the town has been substantially restored and there are cobbled streets interrupted by semicircular arches, façades with pointed arched windows and stone balconies. The town wall contains four square towers which date from the 4th century. The Josep Pla viewpoint (from which can be seen the fields of Empordà and the Medes Islands), the Plaça Major, the tombs in the Carrer Major and the church of Sant Pere are other features of the town. There is an Archaeology Museum.
Some historians such as catalan Jordi Bilbeny among others, argue that Christopher Columbus on his first trip, he left Palos de la Frontera, says the official story, but the old port of posts today disappeared. In 1492 the Pals had a major seaport that could even fit an issue as important as the discovery of the New World.
According Bilbeny, the town of Pals became, thanks to the censors of the crown, the Palos de Huelva. The town of Pals de l'Emporda is well documented since ancient times as a royal town and major port. Similarly, this researcher, relates the Pinzon brothers with Pinçon the village of Pals, according to a letter of Directors of Barcelona were corsairs attacked and Barcelona in 1479.
Pals es troba a la província de Girona, a la comarca del Baix Empordà, a uns 4 quilòmetres de la costa on hi té la platja en un nucli de població que també pertany als seu municipi i es diu “Platja de Pals”. La primera referència al poble data del 889 on ja s’esmenta la vila i el castell, el qual va ser enderrocat el 1478 degut al seu estat ruïnós, de tota manera encara es conserva la torre de l’homenatge coneguda com “la torre de les hores” perquè s’hi va col•locar un campanaret gòtic. El centre històric de Pals va resultar molt malmès a la guerra civil, però gràcies a la iniciativa d’alcaldes i altres personalitats del poble, no es va trigar gaire a restaurar la part medieval del poble amb tant d’encert que se li han concedit diversos premis tant referents a belles arts com al turisme. Com a curiositat cal esmentar que hi ha historiadors que defensen la hipòtesi que Cristòfor Colom va salpar d’aquest poble amb les tres caravel•les en el seu viatge per descobrir Amèrica (Pals en castellà és “Palos”).

Como curiosidad cabe mencionar que hay historiadores que defienden la hipótesis de que Cristóbal Colón zarpó de este pueblo con las tres carabelas en su viaje para descubrir América (Pals en español es "Palos").

Le Grand Palais est un monument parisien situé en bordure des Champs-Élysées, face au Petit Palais,
Le « Grand Palais des Beaux-Arts » est édifié à Paris à partir de 1897, pour l'exposition universelle prévue du 15 avril au 12 novembre 19001, en lieu et place du vaste mais inconfortable palais de l'Industrie de 1855. « Monument consacré par la République à la gloire de l’art français », sa vocation originelle consiste à accueillir les grandes manifestations artistiques officielles de la capitale.
En la época precolombina el territorio que actualmente corresponde al cantón de La Cruz, formó parte de una de las provincias de los indígenas denominados Chorotegas, cuyos dominios comprendían desde la Península de Nicoya hasta el Lago de Nicaragua, constituida por varios poblados o señoríos.
La región fue descubierta por don Gil González Dávila en 1522, en su marcha hacia otra provincia de los chorotegas, que estaba bajo la autoridad del cacique Nicarao (hoy Nicaragua). En 1561 don Juan de Cavallón, proveniente de Granada pasó por la zona en su expedición que llegó al Valle Central. En setiembre de 1562 transitó por este territorio don Juan Vázquez de Coronado, quien traía ganado vacuno y caballos desde León. También pasó por la región don Perafán de Ribera en su viaje hacia Cartago.
En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX llegaron a la región los primeros finqueros procedentes de Rivas, Nicaragua; iniciando la formación de haciendas. El 20 de marzo de 1856, nuestras tropas libraron su primera batalla contra los filibusteros de Willian Walker en la Hacienda Santa Rosa, logrando derrotar a los invasores de nuestro territorio nacional.
En la administración de don Ascensión Esquivel Ibarra, en 1906 se estableció la escuela, ubicada cincuenta metros al este del actual mirador construido por el Instituto Costarricense de Turismo. En 1953 se inauguró un nuevo edificio escolar que se denomina Escuela Salvador Villar Muñoz. El Liceo La Cruz inició sus actividades docentes en 1969, en el gobierno de don José Joaquín Trejos Fernández, como centro educativo complementario de segunda enseñanza, al principio nocturno y luego diurno, localizada en la escuela; en 1973 se inauguraron las instalaciones actuales.
En ley No 20 del 18 de octubre de 1915, se promulgó la división territorial para efectos administrativos, en la cual el barrio La Cruz constituyó parte del distrito tercero del cantón Liberia.
La primera ermita se construyó en 1923, situada en la esquina noreste del actual parque. Durante el arzobispado de Monseñor don Víctor Manuel Sanabria Martínez, segundo Arzobispo de Costa Rica, en el año 1949, se erigió la Parroquia, con advocación a la Santa Cruz, la cual actualmente es sufragánea de la Diócesis de Tilarán de la Provincia Eclesiástica de Costa Rica.
La cañería se inauguró en el año de 1946, en la administración de don Teodoro Picado Michalski.
En el Gobierno de don José Joaquín Trejos Fernández, el 23 de julio de 1969, en ley No 4354, se le otorgó el título de Villa a la población de La Cruz, cabecera del cantón creado en esa oportunidad. Posteriormente, en ley No 4574 del 4 de mayo de 1970, se promulgó el Código Municipal, que en su artículo tercero, le confirió a la citada Villa, la categoría de Ciudad, por ser cabecera de cantón.
El 10 de agosto de 1970 se llevó a cabo la primera sesión del Concejo de La Cruz, integrado por los siguientes regidores propietarios, señores Piedad Loáiciga Salgado, Presidente; Víctor Manuel Hernández Ortega, Vicepresidente; y Carlos Manuel Rodríguez Campos. El Ejecutivo Municipal fue don Félix Sancho Gallo y el Secretario Municipal don José Luis Fallas Leitón.
El origen del nombre se remonta al hecho ocurrido, en la época en que los arrieros transportaban ganado de Nicaragua a Esparza, cuando uno de ellos, de paso por la región, cayó muerto al perseguir una res que se había escapado de la manada, por lo que sus compañeros colocaron una cruz de palos rollizos sobre su sepultura. Posteriormente, esa cruz sirvió de referencia a los arrieros que por allí pasaban, para hacer un descanso en el sitio y a la vez contar el ganado, antes de proseguir su viaje a su destino final. Con el tiempo el lugar dio origen a la formación de una incipiente población, que se comenzó a denominar La Cruz..
