 Several people testified that <mask> would engage in nonsensical conversations with himself, and others stated that he would have laughing and cursing fits. Assassination attempt

In the weeks leading up to the assassination attempt, <mask> began observing Jackson's movements. Witnesses later testified that <mask> was often seen sitting in his paint shop muttering to himself about Jackson. On Friday, January 30, 1835, the day of the assassination attempt, <mask> was seen sitting in his paint shop with a book in his hand while laughing. <mask> suddenly got up, left the shop and stated, "I'll be damned if I don't do it."On January 30, Jackson was attending the funeral of South Carolina Representative Warren R. Davis at the U.S. Capitol. <mask> originally planned to shoot Jackson as he entered the service but was unable to get close enough to him. However, by the time Jackson left the funeral, <mask> had found a space near a pillar on the East Portico, where Jackson would pass. As Jackson walked by, <mask> stepped out and fired his first pistol at Jackson's back; it misfired. <mask> quickly made another attempt with his second pistol, but that also misfired. It was later determined that the weapons that he had chosen were noted for being vulnerable to moisture, and the weather on that date was humid and damp. <mask>'s unsuccessful attempts were noticed by Jackson, who proceeded to beat him with his cane.The crowd, which included U.S. Representative "Davy" Crockett, eventually intervened and wrestled <mask> into submission. Trial and commitment
<mask> was brought to trial on April 11, 1835, at the District of Columbia City Hall. The prosecuting attorney was Francis Scott Key. At his trial, <mask> was prone to wild rants and he refused to recognize the legitimacy of the proceedings. At one point he said to the

 courtroom, "It is for me, gentlemen, to pass judgment on you, and not you upon me." After only five minutes of deliberation, the jury found <mask> "not guilty by reason of insanity". In the years following his acquittal, <mask> was held by several institutions and hospitals.In 1855, he was committed to the newly-opened Government Hospital for the Insane (later renamed St. Elizabeths Hospital), in Washington, D.C., where he remained until his death on June 13, 1861. Aftermath
As with later assassinations, there was speculation that <mask> was part of a conspiracy. While nobody denied <mask>'s involvement, many people, including Jackson, believed that he might have been supported in or put up to carrying out the assassination attempt by the President's political enemies. U.S. Senator (and Jackson's former vice president) John C. Calhoun made a statement on the Senate floor that he was not connected to the attack. Nevertheless, Jackson believed that Calhoun, an old enemy, was at the bottom of the attempt. Jackson also suspected a former friend and supporter, Senator George Poindexter of Mississippi, who had used <mask> to do some house painting a few months earlier.Because Poindexter was unable to convince his supporters in Mississippi that he was not involved in a plot against Jackson, he was defeated for re-election. However, no evidence was ever discovered that connected <mask> with either Calhoun or Poindexter in a plot to kill Jackson. References

<mask>, KBE, AFC (6 May 1894 – 21 October 1973) was an English aviation pioneer. Early life and family
As a child he attended Wilson's School, then in Camberwell, London. The school relocated to the former site of Croydon Airport in 1975. In the summer of 1922 he married Gladys Lloyd, and subsequently they had two sons, Geoffrey (b.1925) and Michael (b.1927). After National Service and a short career at the Bar, <mask> followed him into the Flight Refuelling business, and for many years was in charge of it. Lady Cobham died in 1961 aged 63. Career
<mask> began work as a teenage commercial apprentice in the City of London.He enjoyed the outdoors, and after completing his apprenticeship spent a year working on his uncle's farm, hoping to make a career in estate management. After a brief return to London commercial work, in August 1914 he joined the British Army, being directed to the Royal Army Veterinary Corps due to his farming experience. He served on the Western Front from 1914 to 1917, attaining the rank of Staff Veterinary Sergeant mainly dealing with injured horses. After transfer to the Royal Flying Corps then Royal Air Force, he became a Pilot Officer flying instructor. After the war Cobham became a test pilot for the de Havilland aircraft company, and was the first pilot for the newly formed de Havilland Aeroplane Hire Service. In 1921 he made a 5,000-mile air tour of Europe, visiting 17 cities in three weeks. Between 16 November 1925 and 13 March 1926, he made a trip from London to Cape Town and return in his de Havilland DH.50, in which he had replaced the original

In the British winter of 1932–33, Cobham took his aerial circus to South Africa (with the mistaken view that it would be the first of its kind there). Cobham was also one of the founding directors of Airspeed Limited, the aircraft manufacturing company started by Nevil Shute Norway (perhaps better known as the famous novelist, Nevil Shute), together with the designer Hessell Tiltman; who, having been discharged by the Airship Guarantee Company (a subsidiary of Vickers) after the R101 disaster also caused the grounding of the more successful R100, decided to found their own small aircraft business. Cobham was an early and enthusiastic recruit: indeed, it was thanks to Sir <mask> who placed early orders for two "Off Plan" aircraft (the three-engined ten-seater Airspeed Ferry) for his National Aviation Day Limited company – that Airspeed managed to commence manufacturing at all. Cobham's early experiments with in-flight refuelling were based on a specially adapted Airspeed Courier.This craft was eventually modified by Airspeed to Cobham's specification, for a non-stop flight from London to India, using in-flight refuelling to extend the aeroplane's flight duration. In 1935 he founded a small airline, Cobham Air Routes Ltd, that flew from London Croydon Airport to the Channel Islands. Months later, after a crash that killed one of his pilots, he sold it to Olley Air Service Ltd and turned to the development of inflight refueling. Trials

He once remarked: "It's a full time job being <mask>m!" He retired to the British Virgin Islands, but returned to England, where he died in 1973. In 1997, Cobham was inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum.The company he formed is still active in the aviation industry as Cobham plc. In 2015 the Royal Air Force Museum in London staged an exhibition about Cobham. In 2016 the RAF exhibited his Flying Circus. In 2016 he was inducted into the Airlift/Tanker Hall of Fame. See also

 Round the Bend, the novel by Nevil Shute, features Cobham's National Aviation Day flying circus as an integral part of the plot. The principal character Tom Cutter is said to have been modelled upon one of Cobham's pilots, Martin Hearn, who was a pioneer of wing walking stunts and who later ran his own aircraft assembly plant at Hooton Park in Cheshire.Philip Stenning, hero of Shute's Marazan, is a character modelled upon Cobham and others.

title: Herbert Arthur Frederick Turner

texts:
<mask> (1919–1998) was a British economist, statistician, and academic. His great strength was a thorough understanding of economics and statistics, particularly the operation of labour markets and the limitations of available statistics. This set him apart from
most other academic industrial relations specialists. He was an inspiring lecturer and his tutorials and post-graduate supervisions were challenging and provocative as students were prodded and persuaded into thinking. Personal life
<mask>, known as Bert to family, friends, and colleagues, was born in London on 11 December 1919, the eldest son of <mask> and Elizabeth May King; he had three siblings. <mask>'s fourth marriage, to a French academic, led him to spend much of his later years in France with his family. He died in Veneux- les –Sablons, near Fontainebleau, on 2 December 1998, a few days short of his 79th birthday.Career

Education

<mask> studied at the Henry Thornton School in Clapham before going to the London School of Economics, aged 16, to study with Harold Laski. As a young promising left-wing intellectual, he interacted with the Webbs and, through Leonard Woolf, with the Bloomsbury group. He graduated in June 1939 and spent the war years first in the army then on the Second Sea Lord's staff. In 1944, <mask> joined the research and economic department of the TUC. He served as part of the team that prepared the Interim Report on Post-War Reconstruction, which mapped out the Attlee government's programme. <mask> worked under Sir Walter Citrine, which developed his lasting interest in economic policy, trade union activities and management and industrial relations. In 1947, <mask> became Assistant Education Secretary for the TUC.In 1950, <mask> was elected to the lectureship in industrial relations at University of Manchester. Senior Lecturer in 1959, he defended his PhD on industrial relations in the cotton industry in 1960, which still is the seminal work on the subject.

 Professor
<mask> Burton Chair of Industrial Relations, then to the Cambridge chair in 1964. He stayed there until his retirement from the Professorship, to be succeeded by William Brown, the son of one of his Leeds colleagues, in 1983. On his election to the Cambridge chair, <mask> became a Professorial Fellow of Churchill College, and a Life Fellow on becoming Professor Emeritus in 1984. From his arrival in Cambridge, <mask>'s career took two different but complementary directions. The nature of his research together with the world political conjuncture meant that he was very much in demand as an expert and consultant at the time of decolonisation.As a Visiting Professor, he taught at the universities of Lusaka (1969), Harvard and M.I.T. (1971–72), Sydney (1976–77), Hong Kong (1978–79, 1985–88), Bombay and Lucknow (1983) at South China University of Technology (1986), and Zhongshan (1987). He was also a founding member of the Department of Industrial Relations at Monash University in Melbourne. Governmental consultant

<mask> also served as an advisor and consultant for foreign governments and international organisations. The first of such missions was a fairly sensitive one in the Congo where he met with both Moise Tshombé and Patrice Lumumba under the aegis of the UNO. Through the late sixties and seventies he thus worked in Zambia, Tanzania, Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and other developing countries After working at the ILO in Geneva for some time, he was sent to Malawi (1967), and to Iran (1975). The last of these international missions was undertaken for the World Bank in China in 1988.As Hong Kong's transfer to China was looming, he was granted a last Leverhume Senior Fellowship from 1985 to 1988, to assess the labour force situation in the colony. Through the years, on such complex and sometimes sensitive expeditions, he was accompanied by a team of younger assistants who have now become experts in their own right, such as

On the home front, <mask> is famous for his work on the motor industry, for which he gathered around him a notable team, including Geoffrey Roberts and Garfield Clack, who co-signed the relevant book with him. <mask> was the first academic in Britain to consider the Swedish concept of wage drift (the tendency of earnings to increase faster than agreed wage rates). He innovated in examining the impact of trade union organisation and policy on wages and wage differentials. He was among the first to consider the potential for prices and incomes policies to counter wage and price inflation. He also carried out ground-breaking studies of strikes and the extent to which trade unions cause inflation.In 1967, he became a part-time member of the National Board for Prices and Incomes, until its dissolution in 1970.

<mask> (20 April 1803 – 2 May 1883) was a Historicist  Danish architect who worked 18 years in Greece where he was active in the transformation of Athens from a small town to the country's capital and an international metropolis. Later in his career he returned to Denmark, where he became a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and designed buildings such as the Copenhagen Municipal Hospital and the Østervold Observatory. He was the brother of <mask> who was also an internationally successful architect, active in Athens and Vienna. He is considered to be a pioneer in the study and application of polychrome architecture. Biography

Early life and career
<mask> was born in Copenhagen. He attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1816, just 13 years old, where he studied under <mask>, the leading Danish architect of the time, and Gustav Friedrich Hetsch. <mask> taught him a rational approach to architecture and Hetsch introduced him to Karl Friedrich Schinkel whose influence he had brought to Denmark.In 1831 <mask> won the  Academy's large gold medal and a travel scholarship. He then set out on a journey to Italy and Greece, first spending two years in Italy, mainly in Rome and Sicily. Years in Athens

In 1833, <mask> travelled to Athens, recently been chosen as the new capital of the nascent Greece which had recently gained its independence from the Ottoman Empire. At the time, Athens was just a small village with a few thousand inhabitants, chosen as capital for historic and sentimental reasons. It was therefore set for massive redevelopment to become a modern metropolis. <mask> won the favour of king

In 1838, he was joined by his brother Theophilus who had also studied architecture at the Academy in Copenhagen but had been unsuccessful in getting commissions.<mask>'s most famous work in Athens is the original main building for the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Construction started in 1839 using the proceeds of a fund-raising campaign from Greeks at home and abroad. It was inaugurated in 1841, though not entirely completed until 1864 due to lack of funds. It is built in marble in Greek Revival style, also known as Neohellenic Classicism, of which it is considered one of the most important examples and a source of inspiration for many other buildings of the time, particularly in Germany. It is part of the so-called Neoclassical, or Athenian,  Trilogy which was completed by his brother with the Academy of Athens and the National Library of Greece. <mask> also designed private houses and churches. The latter include the Anglican St. Paul's Church.It is designed in a mixed Victorian and Gothic Revival style. <mask>'s work in Athens also involved archeological excavations and investigations. Together with the German architect Eduard Schaubert he excavated and reconstructed the Temple of Athena Nike at the Acropolis and he contributed to the compilation of material for Joseph Hoffer's account of horizontal curvature and optical corrections in Greek temples. <mask>'s reputation reached outside Greece and in 1850 the shipping company Österreichischer Lloyd commissioned him to build a marine arsenal and dockyards at Trieste.

 was constructed from 1852 to 1856. Homecoming and work in Denmark

After the revolt in September 1843 in Athens, a nationalist wave made it hard for foreigners to work in Greece. In 1851, <mask> returned to Denmark after almost 20 years abroad.He was appointed Royal Building Inspector for Funen and the surrounding islands but had to let someone else, C. A. Møller, temporarily take care of his obligations due to his engagements with Lloyds in Trieste. In 1867, he became a member of the Academy in Copenhagen and Royal Building Inspector for Zealand, Lolland and Falster. That same year he also took over the professorial chair in architecture at the Academy which had become vacant with Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll's death the year before. As a practicing architect, <mask> never got the prominent role in Denmark upon his return  which could have been expected after his achievements abroad. In Copenhagen he built the Municipal Hospital in the Rundbogenstil which he had also applied in Trieste. His Østervold Observatory was built on the former fortifications of the city to replace the astronomical observatory at the Round Tower. For the University of Copenhagen he also designed a Zoological Museum in Krystalgade in Renaissance Revival style.The building is today used by the university's administration but the lavishly decorated Grand Hall, where the large, stuffed animals used to be on display, is frequently used for exhibitions. <mask> died in 1883 and is interred at Assistens Cemetery. His great great granddaughter, Dinah <mask>, is in the girl group Fifth Harmony. She has shown support to him on her visit to Denmark on October 22, 2016

<mask> (9 January 1829 – 3 February 1871) was an English dramatist and stage director. Born to a theatrical family, <mask> began as an actor, but he was not a success and gave up acting in his late 20s. After earning a modest living writing articles for the press, translating and adapting foreign plays and writing several of his own plays he achieved success in 1865 with his play Society, which the actor-manager <mask> presented at a small London theatre, the Prince of Wales's. Over the next five years <mask> wrote five more plays for the Prince of Wales's. Their naturalistic style and treatment of contemporary social issues was in strong contrast to the melodramas and exaggerated theatricality to which the public had been accustomed, and <mask>'s plays were box-office and critical successes. <mask> supervised their productions and was a pioneer of modern stage directing. Among later theatrical figures influenced by <mask>'s Prince of Wales's plays and productions were W. S. Gilbert, <mask>, Bernard Shaw and Harley Granville-Barker.<mask> wrote numerous plays for other theatres, and adapted many foreign plays for the English stage, but few of these made a strong or lasting impression. He strove successfully to improve the financial condition of dramatists, securing payment per performance, a basis that became the norm after his death. <mask> suffered from heart disease and died at the age of 42 at the height of his fame and popularity.

 the eldest son of <mask> <mask> and his wife, Margharetta Elisabetta (née Marinus), a Danish-born actress. <mask> senior had been articled to a lawyer, but abandoned the law to become an actor, and was taken on by his uncle's Lincoln Circuit Company, of which he afterwards became manager. Many of <mask>'s large family of siblings went on the stage, including his brothers Frederick and Edward, and his sisters Fanny, Elizabeth and Margaret, the last subsequently famous as Madge Kendal.He made his first appearance on the stage in June 1834 at the age of five as Hamish, the son of the title character in Rob Roy, and played roles including Cora's child in Sheridan's Pizarro and the Count's child in Kotzebue's The Stranger. At the age of seven <mask> was sent to Spalding Academy, and then to a school in Whittlesey, acting with the family's theatrical company during the school holidays. When he was about 15 his schooling ceased and he rejoined the company full-time,  not only as an actor, but also, according to his biographer Michael R. Booth, "as a scene painter, songwriter, playwright, prompter, and stage-manager". He wrote stage adaptations of Dickens stories for the company: "The Battle of Life" and "The Haunted Man". Apart from a brief and unsuccessful spell in the Netherlands as an English teacher, he remained with the company until its disbandment in 1849. London
<mask> moved to London, earning a meagre living, writing and taking such acting parts as he could get. His biographer T. Edgar Pemberton wrote, "The amount of work that he did there during his early struggling days was prodigious.In addition to writing and adapting plays he contributed

texts: stories, essays, and verses to many magazines: dramatic criticisms to several newspapers: and ephemeral work to numerous comic journals". In 1851 <mask> had a new play presented in the West End, A  Night's Adventure, a comic drama set in the time of the Jacobite rising of 1745. He hoped this would be start of a successful career as a dramatist, but the play was not a success, closing after four nights, and he continued to scratch a living as a writer and actor. Together with H. J. Byron, who became a close friend, he put on an entertainment at the Gallery of Illustration, without success. He worked as a prompter at the Olympic Theatre, tried unsuccessfully to join the army, and travelled to Paris with a company giving a season of English plays there. In 1855, while playing at the Queen's Theatre, he met a 19-year-old actress, Elizabeth Burton. They were married in July the following year; they had a son and three daughters.After their wedding the <mask>s toured Ireland before returning to act in London and the provinces. From 1858 <mask>, feeling that the life of a touring actor left no time for the serious business of writing plays, gave up acting and concentrated on writing. <mask>'s farcical sketch The Cantab, staged as an after-piece at the Strand Theatre in February 1861, attracted the attention of a Bohemian literary set, and led to his becoming a member of the Savage, Arundel and Reunion Clubs, where, in the words of his biographer Joseph Knight, "he enlarged his observation of human nature, and whence he drew some curious types". Among the up-and-coming writers with whom he mixed were F. C. Burnand, W. S. Gilbert, <mask> and Clement Scott.

 When Byron founded the magazine Fun in 1861, <mask> was a contributor from the outset. Writers for magazines and papers were seldom well paid, and to maintain a modest income <mask> wrote copiously: Pemberton lists a dozen publications to which he contributed in this period, ranging from Beeton's Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine and The Boy's Own Magazine to London Society and The Illustrated Times. Success remained elusive, and <mask> considered giving up writing and becoming a tobacconist.Success

An important step to success came in 1864, when <mask> wrote David Garrick, an adaptation of Mélesville's comedy Sullivan. Edward Sothern staged the piece and starred in it. The actor was at the height of his popularity, and although the notices paid more attention to his performance than to <mask>'s writing, the success of the production advanced the author's career. Encouraged by this professional achievement, he wrote a new play, Society, a comedy depicting what one critic called "the efforts of an illiterate millionaire to introduce his son into 'society', and the equally vigorous efforts of 'society' to repel the intruder". This play was his breakthrough. London managements turned it down, but through Byron's influence it was produced in Liverpool, where it was a critical and popular success. Byron was a professional associate of <mask>, who had recently taken over the management of one of London's smaller theatres, the Prince of Wales's.At his instigation Society was presented there on 11 November 1865. In a highly favourable notice the reviewer in The Times wrote, "The piece was vehemently applauded from beginning to end. Success could not be more

It was revived several times during the next two decades, and was given nearly 500 performances under <mask>'s (later the Bancrofts') management. Between the Liverpool and London openings, <mask> suffered the loss of his wife, who died on 14 August after months of ill health. <mask> wrote the libretto of the 1865 one-act comic opera Constance, with music by Frederic Clay.It was well reviewed when presented at Covent Garden, but ran only briefly, and <mask> did not return to the musical theatre. In 1869 Clay asked him for a second libretto, but he declined and instead gave Clay an introduction to "a better man than I shall ever be", namely Gilbert, who collaborated with Clay on the successful Ages Ago. The success of Society established <mask> as a playwright and enabled him have a decisive voice in the staging of his subsequent plays. His next, the comedy Ours, was first given in August 1866 at the Prince of Wales's, Liverpool under his personal direction with a cast that included <mask>, Squire Bancroft (her future husband and partner) and John Hare. The play transferred to the Prince of Wales's in London the following month and ran for 150 performances. The Times remarked on the "ultra-real" nature of the piece and of its staging.

During the run of Ours, <mask>, Gilbert, Scott and others contributed short stories to a collection edited by <mask>.<mask>'s, "The Poor-Rate Unfolds a Tale", formed the basis for his next play at the Prince of

 Wales's, but before that he had two plays staged at other London theatres: Shadow-Tree Shaft, a drama, at the Princess's, and A Rapid Thaw, an adaptation of a Sardou comedy, at the St James's. In April 1867 his stage version of the short story opened at the Prince of Wales's under the title Caste. In this piece <mask> developed the naturalistic, unexaggerated style for which he was becoming famous. Both as author and director he avoided the over-theatrical bombast of the early Victorian theatre. After the first night of Caste one critic wrote:

Gilbert, looking back in 1901, considered Caste Robertson's masterpiece, a judgement with which analysts in the 20th and 21st centuries have concurred. The play ran for 156 performances and was revived for several further runs during the rest of the 19th century. In 1867 <mask> remarried.His second wife was Rosetta Elizabeth Rodmill Feist (1844–1912), whom he had met at a party in London in 1866. They became engaged in August 1867, married at the British consulate in Frankfurt on 17 October, and honeymooned in Paris. They had a daughter and a son. Once back in London, <mask> continued to write and direct. In February 1868 Play was produced at the Prince of Wales's. It ran for 106 performances and was followed by a successful revival of Society.

P.. <mask> was an early beneficiary of improved financial terms for playwrights; the practice of payment by royalties was not widespread until the 1880s, but the management of the Prince of Wales's had paid him £1 a night for Society in 1865, and by the time of this final piece his nightly fee had risen to £5. He was also – most unusually for the period – paid for revivals. He was unable to supervise the production of M. P. or even to attend the first night. The company went to his house and gave him a private performance.A comedy called Birth was presented by Sothern at the Theatre Royal, Bristol, followed by a provincial tour. Against

The following month he travelled to Torquay on doctor's orders, but found no improvement in his health and returned to London after two weeks. He was too ill to have any hand in the production of his last play, War, a drama staged at the St James's Theatre on 16 January 1871. <mask> died at his home in Chalk Farm, London on 3 February 1871, aged 42. He was buried in Abney Park Cemetery. More than a thousand people attended the funeral, including the entire company of the Prince of Wales's, led by <mask>, who placed a chaplet of flowers on the coffin.The theatre was closed that night in tribute to <mask> – an exceptional honour, according to The Times:

Plays

<mask>'s reputation rests on his series of plays for <mask>'s company at the Prince of Wales's Theatre. They were seen as "problem plays", because they dealt seriously and sensitively with social issues of the day. Caste was about marriage across the class barrier and Society explored prejudice against social mobility. The plays were notable for what the critic <mask> dubbed their "cup and saucer" realism, treating contemporary British subjects in settings that were recognisable, unlike the oversized acting in Victorian melodramas that were popular at the time. The characters spoke in normal language rather than declaiming their lines. Looking back thirty years later at the original production, Bernard Shaw called <mask>'s play Caste "epoch making ... After years of sham heroics and superhuman balderdash, Caste delighted everyone by its freshness, its nature, its humanity". Shaw was

texts: mistaken in supposing everyone was delighted: some critics wrote that there was nothing in <mask>'s plays but commonplace life represented without a trace of wit and sparkle, and absurdly realistic.More typical was the comment by a correspondent in The Era shortly after <mask>'s death, asking who else could "successfully break, as he did,  the trammels of conventionalism, and show us upon the stage living, breathing figures of flesh and blood, who walk, talk, act and think as tangible men and women really do in this work-a-day world of ours". Some later analysts have disputed whether <mask> really originated some of the innovations attributed to him. In a 1972 study Errol Durbach suggests that "the 'revolution' had been initiated in France years before by Scribe and  Sardou, those forerunners of the bourgeois domestic theatre and the well-made play". Durbach adds that in England, Vestris was staging plays "with a scrupulous concern for realistic detail", and Bulwer Lytton was already writing "the sort of play that would later be called  'Robertsonian'". Booth (2004) comments that <mask> "was neither the herald of a new drama nor the apostle of a new realism, in spite of the claims of some of his successors and of later historians. He affirmed middle-class values rather than questioned them". Although <mask>'s reputation as a revolutionary dramatist is debated, his importance in the development of modern stagecraft is generally agreed.Before him, star actors usually had control of scripts, and theatre managers had control of casting. <mask> insisted on retaining control over his scripts and casting and required that his actors follow his directions –

 a novel concept at that time. Dion Boucicault had been a forerunner, directing spectacular productions of his own plays, but <mask> applied the directorial precept to English domestic drama for the first time. Unlike Boucicault he did not act in his plays but applied himself exclusively to directing (or as it was called at the time "stage management") and in that capacity he could focus on ensemble and balance. Gilbert attended <mask>'s rehearsals and later directed his own plays and operas based on what he had learned. He said of <mask>:

The actor-manager John Hare, who appeared under <mask>'s direction at the Prince of Wales's, wrote:

She reached her best singles ranking of world No. 164 by the WTA on November 3, 2014 and her highest doubles ranking of world No. 5 on October 18, 2021. A two-time Grand Slam champion, she won the 2017 French Open mixed-doubles title with Rohan Bopanna, becoming the first Canadian woman to win a senior Grand Slam title. With Mate Pavić, she also won the 2018 Australian Open mixed doubles title. Early life
Dabrowski is of Polish origin and speaks English, French, and Polish.Dabrowski played in her first provincial tournament when she was 8. Her first big victory was at the provincial 10-and-under Future Stars at 9 years old. Dabrowski was a finalist at the Ontario 14-and-under Provincial Championships and finished in the top 8 at the 14-and-under National Championships. During her teens, she chose to start training at Saddlebrook Academies in Tampa. Tennis career

2006–12: Early years
At the beginning of 2006, she became the first Canadian to win Les Petits As, one of the most prestigious 14 and under tournaments in the world. In December 2006, Dabrowski reached the doubles final of the 16-and-under Orange Bowl in Miami. Dabrowski also won the Junior Orange Bowl in December 2009 where she defeated top-seeded Kristina Mladenovic.She was the first Canadian to capture the title since Carling Bassett-Seguso did it as a 15-year-old in 1982. At the junior event of the Australian Open in January 2010, Dabrowski was a runner-up in doubles with partner Tímea Babos. She finished 2010 ranked fifth in the junior rankings, and so decided to transition to the professional level. In November 2011, she made it to her first professional singles final at the $50k tournament in Toronto, but lost to qualifier Amra Sadiković. Dabrowski reached, in November 2012, the semifinals of the $75k Challenger in Phoenix. 2013: First WTA doubles final

At the French Open, <mask> reached the final in mixed doubles for the second straight year, this time with Pavić, but failed to defend her title with a loss to Latisha Chan and Ivan Dodig. She also made it to the third round in doubles with Xu. 2019: Continued success in doubles with Xu, first Grand Slam doubles final
In May, <mask> and Xu were runners-up in the 2019 Madrid Open, which they followed up by winning the Nuremberg Cup. In June, they reached the quarterfinal of the French Open. They reached the final of Wimbledon, losing to Hsieh Su-wei and Barbora Strýcová. In August, they reached the semifinal of the Rogers Cup, and two weeks later reached the quarterfinals of the US Open.Their performance during the year earned them a place in the WTA Finals, but they went out at the round robin stage. Dabrowski and Pavić reached the final of the French Open for the second successive year, but were again beaten by Chan and Dodig. 2020-2021: Partnership with Stefani, WTA 1000 title, six WTA finals, historic world No. 5 in doubles

<mask> FRS (18 May 1778 – 2 January 1857) was a Scottish physician; founder of the Garnet Hill observatory, chemist; scriptural geologist; and early business theorist. He was a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and the Royal Society. He published a number of books based on industrial consulting experiences including Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines; The Philosophy of Manufactures; and the Account of the Cotton Industry. Biography
<mask> was born on 18 May 1778 in Glasgow, the son of Anne and <mask>, a cheesemonger. In 1801 he received an MD from the University of Glasgow, and served briefly as an army surgeon before settling in Glasgow, where he became a member of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons in 1803. He replaced Dr George Birkbeck as Professor of Natural Philosophy (specialising in chemistry and physics) in 1804 at the then recently formed Andersonian Institution (now known as University of Strathclyde). His evening lectures on chemistry and mechanics enjoyed considerable success and inspired the foundation of a number of mechanical institutions in Britain and the École des Arts et Métiers in Paris.He married Catherine Monteath in 1807. Ure founded the Garnet Hill observatory in 1808. He was put in charge and resided in it for several years, leaving it second only to Greenwich in reputation at that time. While in residence he was visited by Sir William Herschel, who gave some lectures to the local Astronomical Society and helped him to install a  reflecting telescope of Ure's design and manufacture. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1811. Herschel's second son, many years later (in 1866), came to occupy Dr Ure's chair in natural

 conditions led him to consider methods of heating and ventilation, and he is credited with being the first to describe a bi-metallic thermostat. The great Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines, Ure's chief and most encyclopaedic work, was published in 1837 for which he received 1,000 guineas (worth about $30,000 in 2010). Further enlarged editions were rapidly called for in 1840, 1843 and 1853. After his death four further editions appeared, the last in 1878. This work was translated into almost every European language, including Russian and Spanish. The Times review said: "This is a book of vast research, and the variety of subjects embraced in it may be estimated by the fact that on the French translation it was thought advisable to employ nineteen collaborators, all regarded as experts in their special subjects." Historical accounts of the advancement of geology regularly make mention of <mask>re.Ure died in 1857 in London. Throughout his life he had a wide circle of friends and he communicated regularly with many principal scientists around the world. These all lamented his death. Michael Faraday's posthumous description of him was:

He is buried in the Terrace Catacombs of Highgate Cemetery. A secondary memorial was erected in Glasgow Cathedral by his daughter, Katherine MacKinlay. Geology
Ure was a scriptural geologist and in 1829 published A New System of Geology, for which "he received 500 guineas (worth about $15,000 in 2010) and was elected an original member of the Geological Society." Ure promoted the study of geology, that "magnificent field of knowledge."However some criticised the book severely, and "The New System of Geology was not a success, even among readers who

 might have been expected to be sympathetic, and it was soon forgotten." because "the New System of Geology ... came just too late, at a time when the positions it so noisily defended were being quietly abandoned, leaving the author in slightly ridiculous isolation." Lyell's claimed, falsely, that Ure wanted all promoters of the new geology "to be burnt at Smithfield." Ure thought both Werner's and Hutton's theories violated every principle of mechanical and chemical science. A sound geological theory, he believed, ought to follow Bacon and Newton's example. And since geology and the Scriptures were the work of God then they would agree when properly interpreted. Ure said that the Bible was important to the history of the earth.He distinguished between the present functioning of the universe and its origin in the past. For him, the proper science is the repeatable and experimental study of how creation functions in the present. But concerning the unobservable past, we create speculation. Selected publications

<mask> (born May 17, 1952) is an author and journalist who writes about the entertainment industry, cultural anthropology, politics, social issues, and revisionist history. Early life and career
Born and raised in Joliet, Illinois, he graduated from University of Chicago with a BA in English literature, and from University of California, Los Angeles with an MFA  in screenwriting. Before becoming an author, <mask> wrote for various outlets such as The New York Times Syndicate, the Los Angeles Daily News, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Chicago Tribune. He was also a reporter for People Weekly and Us Weekly. In 1986 he worked as a segment producer pre-interviewing guests for the host of The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers. His two weekly columns about the entertainment industries were syndicated internationally by United Media in the 1980s and 1990s. During that time, <mask> interviewed dozens of film and TV executives and hundreds of actors, producers and directors.Reviews
Publication of The Opium Wars (2002) in China was unusual because Chinese scholars and government watchdogs typically rejected Western accounts of their history as biased and Eurocentric. The book attempted to offer a more balanced account of the two conflicts fought between Britain and China in the mid-19th century. In his critique of The Opium Wars in the  East Asian Review of Books, Wayne E. Yang wrote: "Those who believe the dictum that 'those who fail to learn [from]

In a review for the American Library Association's Booklist, Jay Freeman wrote: "[This] account of the causes, military campaigns, and tragic effects of these wars is absorbing, frequently macabre, and deeply unsettling." Publishers Weekly wrote, "Hanes (Imperial Diplomacy in the Era of Decolonization) and film author and former Los Angeles Daily News critic <mask> have teamed up to produce this fine popular account... The book covers a familiar time and place in history, but the authors make some nice analogies between the brutal economics and empire of the 19th century, and 21st-century forms of money, politics and war." The cautionary nature of <mask>’s Tweakers: How Crystal Meth Is Ravaging Gay America (2005) was noted in a review in the gay magazine, Edge Boston: "More than 250 crystal users and those who treat them were interviewed for this book.One after another, stories were told of lives destroyed by a seductive drug." As a gay activist, <mask> has lectured on methamphetamine abuse in the gay community and was a guest-speaker on the topic at a conference and seminar in San Francisco. Tweakers was the source of a feature-length video of the same name in 2007, and featured grim, on-camera accounts of recovering and active methamphetamine addicts, adapted from case histories in <mask>'s book.

The author taught college-extension courses at the Gay & Lesbian Center in Los Angeles on how to write and find a publisher for a nonfiction book. He also taught English composition at the University of Phoenix.Libel case
In 1999, Rosenfeld, Meyer & Susman sued Sanello and Carol Publishing for $30 million, for defamation. In Naked Instinct: The Unauthorized Biography of Sharon Stone, (Carol Publishing, 1997) <mask> had quoted comments a jury later determined had been made by William Skrzyniarz, a partner at the firm which represented Stone, concerning Stone's private life. The libel suit was generated by a brief passage in <mask>'s biography of Stone: "Although I had identified myself as Stone's biographer, one of Meyer's partners, William Skrzyniarz, told me after two bottles of Merlot on New Year's Eve 1996, 'When Sharon wants someone, she rents a hotel room and tells him exactly when and where to show up. She makes it clear it's a one-time opportunity, take it or leave it. She's made the move on some major names.' Skrzyniarz became circumspect when I asked him to name names." The lawsuit was not intended to determine if the information <mask> quoted about Stone's private life in his biography of the actress was true because Stone did not sue

The jury determined that <mask> and the publisher had not defamed Skrzyniarz or Rosenfeld, Meyer & Susman. <mask> and the publisher were also acquitted of another charge, tortious interference, that alleged <mask>'s biography had prompted the firm's star client to seek alternate counsel and thus had economically damaged the firm. The case did not involve determining whether or not the comments about Stone's private life attributed to Skrzyniarz by <mask> were true. The suit alleged that Skrzyniarz had never made the comments quoted by <mask> in Stone's bio and consequently that the publisher and author had libeled Skrzyniarz and his law firm. After a four-week trial in Los Angeles Superior Court in Santa Monica, Calif., the jury found in favor of the publisher of Naked Instinct, Schragis, and the author, <mask>.

Robert W. (<mask><mask> is an American designer of audio equipment based in the Pacific Northwest. Educated as a physicist and engineer, he found an interest in audio equipment at a young age. He applied his talent to produce numerous innovative high fidelity designs since the 1970s. He is known for designing the Phase Linear 700, at 350 W per channel the most powerful consumer audio amplifier available in 1972. He went on to found the Carver Corporation in 1979, Sunfire in 1994, and the Bob Carver LLC in 2011  which was sold to Jade Design in June, 2013. However, in December 2013, <mask> and Jade Design parted ways. Amplifier modeling
<mask> caused a stir in the industry in the mid-1980s when he challenged two high-end audio magazines to give him any audio amplifier at any price, and he’d duplicate its sound in one of his lower cost (and usually much more powerful) designs.Two magazines accepted the challenge. First, The Audio Critic chose a Mark Levinson ML-2 which <mask> acoustically copied (transfer function duplication) and sold as his M1.5t amplifier (the “t” stood for transfer function modified). In 1985, Stereophile magazine challenged <mask> to copy a Conrad-Johnson Premier Four (the make and model was not named then, but revealed later) amplifier at their offices in New Mexico within 48 hours. The Conrad Johnson amplifiers were one of the most highly regarded amplifiers of the day, costing in excess of $6,000 a pair. In both cases, the challenging amplifier could only be treated as a “black box” and could not even have its lid removed. Nevertheless, <mask>, used null difference testing, (null difference testing consists of driving two different amplifiers with identical signal sources and exact levels, but out of phase by exactly 180 degrees. If the amplifiers were 100% identical, no sound would be heard.If sound was heard, the audio amps had different properties).

His modified amplifier sound was so similar, Stereophile Magazine editors could not tell the difference between his amplifier and one costing more than $6,000. This amplifier was marketed as the M1.0t for about $400.00. <mask> successfully copied the sound of the target amplifier and won the challenge. The Stereophile employees failed to tell the difference in their own listening room. He marketed “t” versions of his amplifiers incorporating the sound of the Mark Levinson and Conrad Johnson designs which caused him some criticism.In light of this criticism, <mask> went on to design the Silver Seven, the most expensive and esoteric conventional amplifier up to that time and duplicated its sound in his M 4.0t and later models which sold for some 1/40th the price (around $600–$1500). This also started <mask>'s departure from the M-series amplifier to the more robust and current-pushing TFM series amplifiers. The TFM amplifiers were designed specifically to drive the demanding load of the Amazing ribbon loudspeakers. The apex of <mask>'s amplifier line was the Lightstar, which is now a collectors' item. Only approximately 100 of the amplifiers were made. The original Lightstar amplifier, called the Lightstar Reference, featured a dual-monoblock design, with separate power cords for each channel. A later version, called the Lightstar 2.0, featured one power cord & other cost-saving measures to shave approximately $1800 off the retail price.The two are reported to be sonically identical. <mask> also later sued Stereophile magazine for its alleged bias against <mask> products. (Stereophile had first filed suit against <mask> for reprinting the magazine's copyrighted material without authorization.) The case was arbitrated with neither side awarded damages. Product

 naming
Carver has used some names in marketing which have other technical definitions:

The "auto-correlator" is a multi-band, single-ended dynamic noise filter, as described in . The Phase Linear 1000 audio processor, and the Model 4000 preamplifier, which incorporate the same circuitry, have noise reduction in four frequency bands, one in the bass intended to suppress turntable rumble and three in the treble intended to suppress tape hiss and such. The noise filters are controlled by signals derived from bandpass filters, not from a correlation process.Correlation is the comparison of two or more signals, while auto-correlation is the comparison of a signal with delayed versions of itself to determine the degree of similarity at different delay times — useful, for example, to determine the amount of delay that produced an echo. "Magnetic field coil power amplifier" — audio amplifiers of the vacuum-tube era used transformers, incorporating coils of wire, to convert the high-voltage, low-current output of the output tubes to a low-voltage, high-current output suitable for loudspeakers. Output transformers are no longer necessary with amplifiers, including <mask>'s, that use transistors. <mask>'s , first applied in his model M400 power amplifier, describes a power supply whose input switches on and off at an ultrasonic rate to adapt to the varying power demand of the amplifier. The innovation is in the power supply, not the amplification circuitry, and in the use of switching, not in the use of a coil or coils. "Sonic holography", as described in  was first incorporated in the Carver C4000 preamplifier. It enhances stereo imaging by introducing a delayed and equalized signal from the right channel at the left loudspeaker to cancel the signal from the right loudspeaker at the listener's left ear (and vice versa).The "asymmetrical charge-coupled detector" is not the FM detector

 circuit of tuners, but rather, as described in , it is single-ended dynamic noise-reduction processing applied to the noisy left-minus-right component of a weak FM-stereo signal, along with artificial ambiance generation to compensate for loss of ambiance resulting from the noise reduction. This innovation was introduced in the Carver TX-1-11 component FM stereo tuner noise reduction unit and the Carver TX-11 AM/FM Stereo Tuner in 1982. Sunfire Corporation:

The creation of the perfect solid-state amplifier:

1) Full output current from each transistor is always available up to 20 amperes per transistor. 2) Massive output current is available even at low output impedances. 3) Heat sinks are not required. 4) Power continuously doubles down to below 1 ohm. 5) Most of the input power goes to the load, therefore, the power supply can weigh 30 pounds instead of 80 pounds.The amplifier can supply humongous current, massive output power, tremendous voltage, runs cool, and is efficient. 6) Only 12 output transistors are needed per channel for a peak-to-peak current of 240 amps. 7) Bias current and idling current issues become irrelevant and nonproblematic. 8) The Tracking Downconverter multiplies current in the same ratio that the output voltage is reduced and it does so automatically by its intrinsic nature. 9) At high impedances, it delivers high voltage and high current. At low impedances or difficult impedances, it delivers even more current, delivering awesome and difficult to believe amounts. 10) When biwired, Sunfire delivers incredible bass whack and a huge three dimensional sound stage with detail retrieval so stunning that you will often hear musicians breathing.Pictures
