"I couldn't believe it was happening.Casablanca had been my creation; Jack had absolutely nothing to do with it. As the audience gasped, I tried to get out of the row of seats and into the aisle, but the entire Warner family sat blocking me. I had no alternative but to sit down again, humiliated and furious ...

On 16 April 2014, <mask> won his Stanley Cup playoff debut as Anaheim defeated the Dallas Stars 4–3 in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. <mask> made 32 saves, giving up three goals.He split time with both Jonas Hiller and John Gibson during the Ducks' run in the 2014 playoffs, which ultimately ended in Round 2, the Western Conference Semifinals, against the Los Angeles Kings, the eventual Stanley Cup champions. The following year, in 2014–15, with Hiller departed via free agency to the Calgary Flames, <mask> and Gibson became the Ducks' goaltending duo. As the season progressed, however, <mask> assumed the starter's role by virtue of both his impressive goaltending play and injuries to Gibson that kept the latter out of the lineup. After recording his 30th win of the season on 3 March 2015, <mask> tied an NHL record as the fastest goaltender in history to reach 50 career wins. He reached the milestone in just 68 career games, tying the record set by the Montreal Canadiens' Bill Durnan on 16 December 1944. In the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs, <mask> led the Ducks to the Western Conference Finals with his strong play - the Ducks only lost one game in the first two rounds.

<mask> (; born 18 April 1981) is a Taiwanese free software programmer and Digital Minister of Taiwan, who has been described as one of the "ten greatest Taiwanese computing personalities". In August 2016, <mask> was invited to join Taiwan's Executive Yuan as a minister without portfolio, making her the first transgender and the first non-binary official in the top executive cabinet. <mask> has identified as "post-gender" and accepts "whatever pronoun people want to describe me with online." <mask> is a community leader of Haskell and Perl and the core member of G0v. Early life
<mask> was born to father <mask> and mother Ya-ching Lee. Ya-ching Lee helped develop Taiwan's first consumer co-operative, and co-developed an experimental primary school employing indigenous teachers. <mask> was a child prodigy, reading works of classical literature before the age of five, advanced mathematics before six, and programming before eight, and she began to learn Perl at age 12.<mask> spent part of her childhood in Germany. Two years later, she dropped out of junior high school, unable to adapt to student life. By the year 2000, at the age of 19, <mask> had already held positions in software companies, and worked in California's Silicon Valley as an entrepreneur. In late 2005, <mask> began transitioning to female, including changing her English and Chinese names, citing a need to reconcile her outward appearance with her self-image. In 2017, <mask> said, "I've been shutting reality off, and lived almost exclusively on the net for many years, because my brain knows for sure that I am a woman, but the social expectations demand otherwise." In 2019, <mask> identified as "post-gender" or non-binary, responding to a request regarding pronoun preferences with "What’s important here is not which pronouns you use, but the

At age 35, <mask> was the youngest minister without portfolio in Taiwanese history and was given this role to bridge the gap between the older and younger generations. As a conservative anarchist, <mask> ultimately desires the abolition of Taiwan and all states, and justifies working for the state by the opportunity it affords to promote worthwhile ends. <mask>'s conservatism stems from wanting to preserve free public spaces independent from the state, such as Internet properties, and wanting technological advances to be applied humanistically so that all, rather than a few, can reap its benefits, to the exclusion of others. <mask>'s department does not follow hierarchical or bureaucratic relationships.

Instead, it is to become a 'channel' to allow greater combinations of intelligence and strength to come together." <mask>'s first initiative, the g0v project, involved swapping out the "o" for a zero in the government's "gov.tw" top-level domain to view more accessible and interactive versions of those governmental websites. The project was open source, in line with <mask>'s principles, and very popular, accessed millions of times each month. Another initiative, vTaiwan, uses social media paradigms for citizens to create digital petitions. Those with 5,000 signatures are brought to the premier and government ministries to be addressed.Changes implemented through this system include access to income tax software

<mask> (ca. 1919June 16, 1939) was an American serial killer, born in the small town of Tallulah, Louisiana around 1919, who confessed to five murders and multiple assaults, including the Los Angeles "brick bat murders" of 1937. Depicted with racist imagery in the mainstream press after his arrest, he was given the nickname the "Brick Moron" as he killed his victims with bricks and was depicted as dimwitted. Convicted of murder, he was executed in Chicago in 1939. <mask> served, in part, as the basis of the character of Bigger Thomas in Richard Wright's 1940 social protest novel Native Son. Los Angeles murders

On April 4, 1937, Edna A. Worden (age 48) and her 12-year-old daughter, Marguerite Estelle, a junior high school student, were murdered in their apartment in the neighborhood of Bunker Hill, Los Angeles. Their bodies were discovered on Sunday, April 5, 1937, by the manager of their building, the Astoria Apartments, which was located next to the Angel's Flight stairs.Worden and her daughter were sexually assaulted and murdered with a brick that still had mortar attached to it. Los Angeles detectives linked the crime to the rape-murder of 20-year-old Rose Valdez, a young mother who was killed on March 2 as her baby slept in the same room in its crib. The police began searching for an African-American man who had been implicated in three similar assaults. On January 25, Mrs. H. W. Koll was attacked by an African-American man wielding a brick in Monte Sano Hospital. On February 3, a black perpetrator fractured the skull of Elizabeth Reis with a brick, in her hotel room. On March 28, Zoe Damrell was attacked and nearly murdered in her home by an African-American assailant wielding a brick; Damrell's assailant matched the description of a potential assailant seen lurking by Valdez's home before her murder.

 theft, racking up arrests for shoplifting and purse-snatching.He was also suspected of auto-theft. He returned to Chicago, where another brick-killing was committed. On the night of May 27, 1938, Florence Johnson, the Caucasian wife of a Chicago fireman, had been slain by multiple blows on the head with a brick, as she fought off burglars. Her sister, who shared her apartment in Chicago's North Kenwood District on the South Side and slept in another room, saw two assailants leave the house. Within hours, <mask> was arrested (on the 28th), picked up because of blood on his clothes and scratched hands. Confession
<mask> blamed his accomplice, 19-year-old Earl Hicks, for Johnson's murder, which happened when the two were burglarizing her apartment. Hicks, who also was under arrest, put the blame for Johnson's murder solely on <mask>.Hicks told the police that <mask> had struck Johnson after she woke up and began screaming. <mask> confessed to another brick murder, that of 24-year-old Florence Thompson Castle, a Caucasian nightclub hostess, in her hotel room in 1936, which she shared with her seven-year-old son. At the time of the Castle killing, <mask> had written "Black Legion Game" on the dressing-table mirror with lipstick. (The Black Legion, a domestic terrorist group, was an offshoot of the Ku Klux Klan that lynched Earl Little, the father of Malcolm X, and African American laborer Silas Coleman. Each member swore an oath "to give his all in any ‘war’ against Catholics, Jews, Negroes, aliens and Communists." After they murdered Works Progress Administration organizer Charles Poole, in 1936, the group was destroyed by a police crackdown. ) <mask> had inadvertently left behind his fingerprints, which implicated him in the murder.After the Castle slaying, he and Hicks had left Chicago and wound up in Los Angeles, where he took an assumed name. Faced with the evidence, <mask> told police he had

 been the person who had written on the mirror. According to the African American newspaper The Chicago Defender, which was skeptical about the arrest and subsequent "confession" to the Johnson murder (the newspaper always put the word confession in quotation marks), the Chicago police had alternately beaten <mask>, and offered him sweets and strawberry soda pop. The Defender characterized the white press' coverage of the <mask> case as "lurid and inflammatory." Fingerprint evidence
The Los Angeles police, learning of the brick murderer caught in Chicago, sent on fingerprints lifted from a milk bottle at the Wordens' apartment to the Chicago Police Department. The modus operandi of the crime and the fact that <mask> previously lived at 803 South Central Avenue, Los Angeles indicated a connection to the brick bat murders. <mask> initially denied having any connection with those killings, but the Los Angeles Police's fingerprint evidence was decisive.After Los Angeles Police Chief James Davis announced they had a positive identification with the brick bat murders from <mask>'s prints (which proved that Thomas Crosby was <mask>), he admitted to killing the Wordens, mother and child. Having confessed to the Castle killing, <mask> was taken by the Chicago police to the scene of the crime, Chicago's Devonshire Hotel. Despite a crowd of angry whites, some determined to lynch <mask>, who were held back by a cordon of 20 police officers, <mask> reenacted how he climbed into Castle's  fifth floor room from a fire escape. <mask> was held incommunicado in police custody for two weeks during which he confessed to raping and murdering nursing student Anna Kuchta in 1937, and assaulting three other Chicago women. He ultimately confessed to four murders in all, two in Chicago and two in Los Angeles. He continued to maintain that Hicks had killed Johnson with a brick at his trial. However, during his trial and in

 his appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court he denied these confessions and claimed he had been severely beaten and abused by police.No fingerprint evidence linked him to Florence Kennedy's death, nor did any blood samples. Witness testimony was also unreliable and contradictory. Depiction by press
The apparent senselessness of the crimes and the depiction of <mask> as a dim-witted African American led the press to nickname the murderer "The Brick Moron." Press coverage also called <mask> a "slow witted colored youth"  and "colored moron." The press reported that the Chicago Police had contacted the sheriff back in <mask>'s hometown of Tallulah, Louisiana, and the sheriff had reported back that <mask> had been a pickpocket and a thief, declaring: "nothing but death will cure him." The Chicago slayings were depicted as sex crimes, although sexual assault had not been a factor in the Windy City murders. In one notorious story, a Chicago Tribune story published on June 5, 1938, entitled "BRICK SLAYER IS LIKENED TO JUNGLE BEAST", used racist tropes in depicting <mask> when the police took him to the Devonshire Hotel to reenact Florence Thompson Castle's murder.The author of the piece, Charles Leavelle, likened <mask> to the "missing link" in human evolution. Describing <mask> climbing up the hotel to the fire escape, Leaville quoted a cop:  "'Look at him go,' says a policeman. 'Just like an ape.'" In the first paragraphs of his piece, Leaville declared: "civilization has left <mask> practically untouched. His hunched shoulders and long, sinewy arms that dangle almost to his knees; his out-thrust head and catlike tread all suggest the animal," evoking simian imagery common in the mainstream press at the time. Leaville summed up his description of <mask>:

He is very black-- almost pure Negro. His physical characteristics suggest an earlier link in the species.Along with the depiction of <mask> in the

 tropes of the dangerous Black Buck, the press ran stories on Florence Johnson, depicting her as a mother of two. Newspapers ran photos of her children, bearing such headlines as "Orphaned by Crime." The stories exacerbated racial tensions in Chicago, and the murder and resulting press frightened the white residents of Johnson's North Kenwood District and the adjacent Kenwood neighborhood, triggering white flight from the once-elite areas that now bordered black districts. Accomplice
<mask> sometimes had an accomplice to his acts, Earl Hicks  (a.k.a. Howard Jones Green). Hicks  was sent from Chicago to Los Angeles and taken to the Wordens' former room at the Astoria Apartments. He admitted to the L.A. police that he beat 12-year-old Marguerite on the head with the butt of a pistol, but denied taking part in a sexual assault or using a brick.Hicks said that he and <mask> stole eight dollars from the Wordens (equivalent to approximately $ in ). In addition, he confessed to attacking Zoe Damrell, for which he was sentenced to five-years-to-life. <mask>'s defense in the Florence Johnson murder was to claim that it was Hicks who wielded the brick that killed her. The defense was not effective as the  Illinois Supreme Court held that under the rules of felony murder, both burglars were responsible for the murder. The law holds both culpable: The perpetrator of a murder and any accomplice who does not actually commit or partake in the killing during the commission of another crime are equally as guilty of the murder. On January 27, 1939, Hicks was sentenced to 14 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to the charge of murder in regards to Johnson's death. This occurred 5 months after <mask> was sentenced to death.Richard Wright
As Richard Wright wrote his novel Native Son in Chicago, the local papers were full of the Brick Moron story. In his essay, "How Bigger Was Born", Wright admitted to copying

 details from press stories of the <mask> case. Any Negro who has lived in the North or the South knows that times without number he has heard of some Negro boy being picked up on the streets and carted off to jail and charged with "rape." This thing happens so often that to my mind it had become a representative symbol of the Negro's uncertain position in America. Never for a second was I in doubt as to what kind of social reality or dramatic situation I'd put Bigger in, what kind of test-tube life I'd set up to evoke his deepest reactions. Life had made the plot over and over again, to the extent that I knew it by heart. So frequently do these acts recur that when I was halfway through the first draft of Native Son a case paralleling Bigger's flared forth in the newspapers of Chicago.(Many of the newspaper items and some of the incidents in Native Son are but fictionalized versions of the <mask> case and rewrites of news stories from the Chicago Tribune.)

<mask> was convicted of the murder of Florence Castle and sentenced to death. He was executed in the electric chair at the Cook County Jail on June 16, 1939. See also

<mask> (; 9 January 1871 – 29 March 1936) was a South African lawyer, naturalist, poet and writer. He has been hailed as an intellectual genius and an Afrikaner hero. His early years, before and during the Boer War
<mask> was born in Pretoria, the thirteenth and last child of <mask> and Catharina Helena Cornelia van Niekerk. He attended school in Pretoria, Boshof and Paarl, and much of his early education was in English, as were his earliest poems. He matriculated at the age of sixteen. His family fluently spoke Afrikaans, Dutch, and English. In <mask>' early teens, he started writing English poetry and greedily devoured the verse of William Shakespeare, John Milton, Robert Burns, the Lake poets, and the English Romantics.After leaving school, he worked in Pretoria as a legal clerk and then as a journalist before becoming owner (at the age of twenty) of a newspaper called Land en Volk (Country and (the Afrikaner) People). He involved himself deeply in local politics. In his role as a journalist and newspaper editor, <mask> became a vocal critic of Paul Kruger, the widely revered President of the Republic of Transvaal, which made <mask> a very unpopular figure. He began taking opiates at an early age and graduated to morphine (then considered to be non-habit forming and safe) very soon thereafter. He became addicted, and his drug addiction ruled his affairs and actions to a greater or lesser extent throughout his life. When asked why he took drugs, he variously pleaded ill health, insomnia and, later, the death of his young wife as a result of the

 birth of his only child. Much later, he blamed accidental addiction while ill with malaria in Mozambique.Some claim his use of drugs was experimental and influenced by the philosophy of de Quincey. <mask> married Aletta Beyers, but she died from puerperal fever a year later, eight days after the birth of their son. <mask> Gerard was <mask>' only child. In 1897 — still in his mid-twenties – <mask> went to London to read medicine. However, under pressure from his friends, he entered the Inner Temple to study law. He qualified as an advocate. When the Boer War broke out in 1899, he was put on parole as an enemy alien in London.During the latter part of the war he joined a German expedition that sought to ship ammunition and medicines to the Boer Commandos via Portuguese East Africa. However, he was struck down there by malaria and, before the supplies could be delivered to the Boers, the war ended in 1902. After the war
<mask> switched from composing poetry in English to composing in Afrikaans during the despondent era that followed the British defeat and conquest of the two Boer Republics. As the leader of the Second Afrikaans Language Movement, Marais work was translated into various languages either late in his life or after his death. From 1905 <mask> studied nature in the Waterberg ('Water Mountain'), a wilderness area north of Pretoria, and wrote in his native Afrikaans about the animals he observed. His studies of termites led him to conclude that the colony ought to be considered as a single organism, a prescient insight that predated the

texts: elaboration of the idea by Richard Dawkins. In the Waterberg, Marais also studied the black mamba, spitting cobra and puff adder.Moreover, he observed a specific troop of baboons at length, and from these studies there sprang numerous magazine articles and the books My Friends the Baboons and The Soul of the Ape. He is acknowledged as the father of the scientific study of the behaviour of animals, known as Ethology. His book Die Siel van die Mier (The Soul of the Ant,  but usually given in English as the Soul of the White Ant) was plagiarised by Nobel laureate Maurice Maeterlinck, who published La Vie des Termites (translated into English as The Life of Termites or The Life of  White Ants), an entomological book, in what has been called "a classic example of academic plagiarism" by University of London's professor of biology, David Bignell. <mask> accused Maeterlinck of having used his concept of the "organic unity" of the termitary in his book. <mask> had published his ideas on the termitary in the South African Afrikaans-language press, both in Die Burger in January 1923 and in Huisgenoot, which featured a series of articles on termites under the title "Die Siel van die Mier" (The Soul of the (White) Ant) from 1925 to 1926. Maeterlinck's book, with almost identical content, was published in 1926. It is alleged that Maeterlinck had come across <mask>' series of articles, and that it would have been easy for Maeterlinck to translate from Afrikaans to French, since Maeterlinck knew Dutch and had already made several translations from Dutch into

 French before.It was common at the time for worthy articles published in Afrikaans to be reproduced in Flemish and Dutch magazines and journals. <mask> sent a letter to Dr. Winifred de Kock in London about Maeterlinck, in which he wrote that The famous author had paid me the left-handed compliment of cribbing the most important part of my work... He clearly desired his readers to infer that he had arrived at certain of my theories (the result of ten years of hard labour in the veld) by his own unaided reason, although he admits that he never saw a termite in his life. You must understand that it was not merely plagiarism of the spirit of a thing, so to speak. He has copied page after page verbally. Supported by a coterie of Afrikaner Nationalist friends, <mask> sought justice through the South African press and attempted an international lawsuit. This was to prove financially impossible and the case was not pursued.However, <mask> gained a measure of renown as the aggrieved party and as an Afrikaner researcher who had opened himself up to plagiarism because he published in Afrikaans out of nationalistic loyalty. <mask> brooded at the time of the scandal: "I wonder whether Maeterlinck blushes when he reads such things [critical acclaim], and whether he gives a thought to the injustice he does to the unknown Boer worker?" Maeterlinck's own words in The Life of Termites indicate that the possible discovery or accusation of plagiarism worried him:

It would have been easy, in regard to every statement, to allow the text to bristle with footnotes and

texts: references. In some chapters there is not a sentence but would have clamoured for these; and the letterpress would have been swallowed up by vast masses of comment, like one of those dreadful books we hated so much at school. There is a short bibliography at the end of the volume which will no doubt serve the same purpose. Despite these misgivings, there is no reference to <mask> in the bibliography. Maeterlinck's other works on entomology include The Life of the Ant (1930).Professor VE d'Assonville wrote about Maeterlinck as "the Nobel Prize winner who had never seen a termite in his whole life and had never put a foot on the soil of Africa, least of all in the Waterberg.". There is evidence  that <mask>' time and research in the Waterberg brought him great peace and joy and provided him with artistic inspiration. In the poem Waar Tebes in die stil woestyn, he writes (as translated into English by J. W. Marchant) 'There would I know peace once more, where Tebes in the quiet desert lifts it mighty rockwork on high ...'. (Tebus is one of the principal peaks of the area). That said, Marais was a long-term morphine addict and suffered from melancholy, insomnia, depression and feelings of isolation. Also while living in the Waterberg District, <mask>' literary output was heavily influenced by, "the pure poetry," he learned from local San people, Nama people, Khoi people, and from Herero refugees from German Southwest Africa. Marais also collected a very large store of African folklore in the Waterberg District from an elderly San storyteller locally

 nicknamed Ou Hendrick.<mask> published his stories in Afrikaans under the title Dwaalstories ("Wandering Stories"). Several years before his death, the Rev. A.J. Louw, an Afrikaner Calvinist dominee known as "The Pope of the Highveld", confronted Marais during a haus bezoek, or visitation, for believing in Darwinian evolution. Marais replied, "Don't pick on me, Dominee. It's a matter between you and the Almighty. I really had nothing to do with the creation of the Universe."One of <mask>ier ("Deep River"), is an ode to the drug morphine and was written ten years before it's author's death by his own hand. Death
On March 29, 1936, having been forsaken by his friends and family and deprived of morphine for several days, <mask> borrowed a shotgun on the pretext of killing a snake and shot himself in the chest. The wound was not fatal, and <mask> therefore put the gun barrel in his mouth and pulled the trigger. <mask> took his own life on the farm Pelindaba, which belonged to his friend Gustav Preller. For those who are familiar with the dark moods of certain of <mask>' poems, there is a black irony there; in Zulu language, Pelindaba means 'the end of the business' – although the more common interpretation is 'Place of great gatherings'. Robert Ardrey, an admirer of <mask>'s, attributed <mask>' suicide to the theft of his intellectual property by Maeterlinck. Ardrey said in his introduction to The Soul of the Ape, published in 1969, that 'As a scientist he was unique, supreme in his time, yet a worker in a science unborn.'He also refers to <mask>'

 work at length in his book African Genesis. Eugéne <mask> and his wife Aletta lie buried in the Heroes' Acre, Pretoria. Legacy
<mask>' work as a naturalist, although by no means trivial (he was one of the first scientists to practise ethology and was repeatedly acknowledged as such by Robert Ardrey and others), gained less public attention and appreciation than his literary work. He discovered the Waterberg Cycad, which was named after him (Encephalartos eugene-maraisii). He was the first person to study the behaviour of wild primates, and his observations continue to be cited in contemporary evolutionary biology. He is among the greatest of the Afrikaner poets and remains one of the most popular, although his output was not large. Opperman described him as the first professional Afrikaner poet; <mask> believed that craft was as important as inspiration for poetry.Along with J.H.H. de Waal and G.S. Preller, he was a leading light in the Second Afrikaans Language Movement in the period immediately after the Second Boer War, which ended in 1902. Some of his finest poems deal with the wonders of life and nature, but he also wrote about inexorable death. <mask> was isolated in some of his beliefs. He was a self-confessed pantheist and claimed that the only time he entered a church was for weddings. An assessment of <mask>' status as an Afrikaner hero was published by historian Sandra Swart.Although an Afrikaner patriot, Marais was sympathetic to the cultural values of the black tribal peoples of the Transvaal; this is seen in poems such as Die Dans

 van die Reën (The Dance of the Rain). The following translation of <mask>' Winternag" is by J. W. Marchant:

"Winter's Night"

O the small wind is frigid and spare
and bright in the dim light and bare
as wide as God's merciful boon
the veld lies in starlight and gloom
and on the high lands
spread through burnt bands
the grass-seed, astir, is like beckoning hands. O East-wind gives mournful measure to song
Like the lilt of a lovelorn lass who's been wronged
In every grass fold
bright dewdrop takes hold
and promptly pales to frost in the cold! While the above translation is generally faithful, and is a fine poem in English, it does not quite capture the terse directness of the Afrikaans language, which makes Afrikaans poetry so bittersweet and evocative, striking straight to the heart and soul. Below follows a translation by Farrell Hope, which may closer reflect the original Afrikaans idiom. Note the above version by J. W. Marchant, as well as the third version below by At de Lange, both translate the Afrikaans word in the poem skade (damage) as if it was skadu (shade). This is a common error in translating the poem and misses the point <mask> was making: that the British forces had destroyed the Boer farms."Winternight"

O cold is the slight wind,
and keen. Bare and bright in dim light
is seen,
as vast as the graces of God,
the veld's starlit and fire-scarred sod. To the high edge of the lands,
spread through the scorched sands,
new seed-grass is stirring
like beckoning hands. O mournful the tune

O cold is the windlet

and bare,
as vast as God's mercy has bade,
lie the plains in starlight and shade.And high in the ridges,

are the grass plumes stirring
like beckoning hands. O tune with grief laden
on the east wind's drone,
like the song of a maiden
in her love made alone. In each grass blade's fold
a drop of dew gleams bold,
and it pales quickly

After 13 appearances for Barnsley, he moved to Hartlepool on loan before making a permanent move to Terry Dolan's York City. Macclesfield Town
