 nations founded to promote market cooperation and foreign investment in the African diamond industry. <mask> <mask>'s role in the development of the oil sector was praised in London, during the opening of the first annual world conference to support the national business sector, which was held in October 2014. The name of the Angolan President was hailed for his commitment in the integration of the national entrepreneurship in the sector and staff training, as well as for his incentive towards young people's training in technical areas, namely in Petroleum Engineering. The role of the President <mask> <mask>, in the growth of the Angolan economy, was the topic of a lecture held on August 28. The Angolan economist <mask> de Morais, the lecturer, stressed the various pragmatic steps taken by the Angolan Head of State, in all stages of the complex context of the country.According to the speaker, President <mask> <mask> has always had to solve complex problems in the leadership of the country's destiny, ranging from war to the pacifying of the spirits of citizens and through economic and political stabilization. Succession
Dos <mask> announced on 11 March 2016 that he planned to retire in 2018. This timetable would mean that he would leave office after the next election, scheduled for 2017. In December 2016, the MPLA chose João Lourenço, the Minister of Defense and Vice-President of the MPLA, as the party's top candidate and therefore its presidential candidate for the 2017 legislative election, indicating that <mask> would step aside prior to 2018. Dos <mask> stated on 3 February 2017 that he would leave office following the election later in 2017, with Lourenço slated to succeed him. However, he was to remain in his post as President of the MPLA and was therefore expected to continue playing a key role at the top of Angolan politics through the leadership of the ruling party. The fact that his children <mask> <mask> and <mask> <mask> held key economic posts—Isabel heading Sonangol and <mask>o heading the Fundo Soberano de Angola—also suggested that <mask>

 for some time retained considerable influence.Controversial issues
Dos <mask> has been accused of leading one of the most corrupt regimes in Africa by ignoring the economic and social needs of Angola and focusing his efforts on amassing wealth for his family and silencing his opposition, while nearly 70% of the population lives on less than $2 a day. Dos <mask> became wealthy when he first took power, but only began amassing his incredibly large assets during and after the Angolan civil wars. When the ceasefire occurred and large portions of the economy were being partially privatized, he took control of several emerging companies and industries. He helped arrange similar takeovers of several other natural resource industries. Eventually the Angolan Parliament made it illegal for the president to have financial holdings in companies and organizations. In response to this, Dos <mask> supposedly began arranging for his daughter to receive the financial kickbacks and assets from these companies. Dos <mask> then began using the government to take direct control of stakes in companies offered as kickbacks which he indirectly controlled and reaped the benefits of and managed to retain large corporate assets through proxies.In what has become known as the Luanda Leaks, a vast network of more than 400 banks, companies and consultants was revealed to have engaged in money-laundering for the <mask> family. Among others, these include firms such as Banco BIC, founded by <mask> family billionaire associate Américo Amorim, Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company and PwC, Eurobic as well as a shell company called Athol Limited. According to Angolan media reports, Brave Ventures, a firm run by Swiss art dealer Yves Bouvier, was also implicated in money-laundering activities in its role as a subcontractor for a French consulting firm tasked by <mask> to oversee the development of the public health system. Along with this, the government budget had grown over a decade to 69 billion dollars in 2012 through oil revenues. The International Monetary Fund reported that

 32 billion in oil revenue simply went missing from the government's ledger before being tracked to have been used on "quasi-fiscal activities". Awards and recognition
Dos <mask> was praised for the major role he played in favour of the country's independence and his commitment to the promotion of peace and democracy in the country, through negotiations with opposition movements designed to put a definite end to the civil war. He has received the following awards:

 Order of Agostinho Neto
 Military Order of Saint James of the Sword (January 16, 1996, Portugal)
 Order of Prince Henry (Portugal)
 Grand Ribbon of the Order of the Republic of Serbia (2016, Serbia)

texts: Sir <mask>  (20 July 1830 – 30 January 1916) was an English geographer, explorer and writer. He was secretary of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) between 1863 and 1888, and later served as the Society's president for a further 12 years. In the latter capacity he was mainly responsible for organising the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901–1904, and for launching the polar career of Robert Falcon Scott. <mask> began his career as a Royal Navy cadet and midshipman, during which time he went to the Arctic with  in one of the many searches for Franklin's lost expedition. Later, <mask> served as a geographer to the India Office, and was responsible for the collection of cinchona plants from their native Peruvian forests, and their transplantation in India. By this means the Indian government acquired a home source from which quinine could be extracted. <mask> also served as geographer to Sir Robert Napier's Abyssinian expeditionary force, and was present in 1868, at the fall of Magdala.The main achievement of <mask>'s RGS presidency was the revival at the end of the 19th century of British interest in Antarctic exploration, after a 50-year interval. He had strong and determined ideas about how the National Antarctic Expedition should be organised, and fought hard to ensure that it was run primarily as a naval enterprise, under Scott's command. To do this he overcame hostility and opposition from much of the scientific community. In the years following the expedition he continued to champion Scott's career, to the extent of disregarding or disparaging the achievements of other contemporary explorers. All his life <mask> was a constant traveller and a prolific writer, his works

 including histories, travel accounts and biographies. He authored many papers and reports for the RGS, and did much editing and translation work for the Hakluyt Society, of which he also became president in 1890. He received public and academic honours, and was recognised as a major influence on the discipline of geography, although it was acknowledged that much of his work was based on enthusiasm rather than scholarship.Among the geographical features bearing his name is Antarctica's Mount <mask>, named after him by Scott in 1902. Early life
<mask> was born on 20 July 1830, at Stillingfleet, Yorkshire, the second son of the Reverend David Frederick <mask>, then vicar of Stillingfleet. The family were descendants of <mask>, former Archbishop of York and royal tutor; this Court connection led to <mask>'s appointment, in 1827, as an honorary canon of Windsor. <mask>'s mother Catherine, née Milner, was the daughter of Sir William Milner, 4th Baronet, of Nun Appleton Hall, Yorkshire. In 1838, <mask> was appointed rector of Great Horkesley, near Colchester, Essex. A year later, Clements began his schooling, first at Cheam School, and later at Westminster School. Reportedly an apt pupil, he showed particular interest in geology and astronomy, and from an early age he wrote prolifically, an activity which filled much of his spare time.At Westminster, which he found "a wonderful and delightful place", he developed a particular interest in boating, often acting as coxswain in races on the River Thames.

Naval cadet, 1844–1850

In May 1844, <mask> was introduced by his aunt, the Countess of Mansfield, to Rear Admiral Sir George Seymour, a Lord of the Admiralty. The boy made a favourable

Collingwood was being fitted out for an extended voyage to the Pacific Ocean where Seymour was to assume command of the Pacific station. This tour of duty lasted for almost four years. The ship reached the Chilean port of Valparaíso, the headquarters of the Pacific station on 15 December 1844, after a cruise that incorporated visits to Rio de Janeiro and the Falkland Islands, and a stormy passage in the Southern Ocean.<mask>'s social connections assured him of a relatively comfortable time; he was frequently invited to dine with the admiral, whose wife and daughters were on board. After a few weeks' respite in Valparaiso, Collingwood sailed again, this time for Callao, the main port on the Peruvian coast, giving Markham his first experience of a country that would figure prominently in his later career. During the next two years Collingwood cruised in the Pacific, visiting the Sandwich Islands, Mexico, and Tahiti, where Markham attempted to assist the nationalist rebels against their French governor. On 25 June 1846, <mask> passed the examination for midshipman, being placed third in a group of ten. The long periods spent in Chilean and Peruvian ports had also enabled him to learn Spanish. Towards the end of the voyage, <mask> experienced growing doubts about a conventional naval career; he now desired above all to be an explorer and a geographer. On arrival in Portsmouth in July 1848 he informed his father of his wish to leave the navy, but was persuaded to stay.After a brief period of service in the

 Mediterranean <mask> experienced months of inactivity while based at Spithead and the Cove of Cork, which further diminished his interest in the service. However, early in 1850, he learned that a squadron of four ships was being assembled to undertake a new search for the lost Arctic expedition of Sir John Franklin. <mask> used his family's influence to secure a place in this venture, and in April 1850, was informed of his appointment to , one of the squadron's two principal vessels. First Arctic voyage, 1850–1851

Sir John Franklin had left England in May 1845 with two ships,  and , in search of the Northwest Passage. The expedition was last seen on 29 July, by whalers in the northern waters of Baffin Bay, moored to an ice floe and waiting for the chance to sail westward. The hunt for the missing ships began two years later. The relief squadron which <mask> joined was commanded by Captain Horatio Austin in .<mask>'s ship Assistance was captained by Erasmus Ommanney. <mask>, as the youngest member of the expedition and its only midshipman, had a limited role, but carefully noted every detail of expedition life in his journal. The ships sailed on 4 May 1850. After rounding the southernmost point of Greenland on 28 May, the squadron proceeded northwards until stopped by ice in Melville Bay on 25 June. They were held here until 18 August, when they were finally able to proceed west into Lancaster Sound, the known route taken by Franklin. Here the ships dispersed to search different areas for signs of the vanished expedition. On 23 August, Ommanney sighted a cairn, and discovered packing materials nearby which bore the name of "Goldner", Franklin's canned meat supplier.Together with other odds

A few days later, on Beechey Island, the party came across three graves, which proved to be those of members of Franklin's crew who had died between January and April 1846. Searches continued until the ships were laid up for the long Arctic winter. During this enforced rest there were lectures and classes for the crew, and various theatrical diversions in which <mask> was able to display his "great histrionic talent". He did much reading, mainly Arctic history and classical literature, and thought about a possible return visit to Peru, a country which had captivated him during the Collingwood voyage. When spring returned, a series of sledging expeditions was launched to search for further signs of the missing crews. <mask> played a full part in these activities, which produced no further evidence of Franklin, but led to the mapping of hundreds of miles of previously uncharted coast.The expedition returned to England in early October 1851. Immediately on his return to England, <mask> informed his father of his determination to leave the navy. One of the reasons for his disaffection was the severity of the corporal punishment that was constantly administered for what in his view were trivial offences. He had been in trouble during his Collingwood service for attempting to prevent the flogging of a crewman. He had also become disenchanted by the idleness that had occupied long periods of his service. With some regret the elder <mask> consented to his son's request, and after taking and passing the gunnery part of the examination for the rank of lieutenant, <mask> resigned from the service

 at the end of 1851. Peruvian journeys

First journey, 1852–1853

In the summer of 1852, freed from his naval obligations, <mask> made plans for an extended visit to Peru.Supported by a gift from his father of £500 (more than £40,000 at 2008 values) to cover expenses, <mask> sailed from Liverpool on 20 August. <mask> travelled by a roundabout route, proceeding first to Halifax, Nova Scotia, then overland to Boston and New York, before taking a steamer to Panama. After crossing the isthmus of Panama, he sailed for Callao, finally arriving there on 16 October. He set out for the Peruvian interior on 7 December 1852, heading across the Andes towards his goal, the ancient Inca city of Cuzco. On the way, <mask> paused for nearly a month in the town of Ayacucho, to study the local culture and increase his knowledge of the Quechua people. He then travelled on towards Cuzco, and after crossing a swinging bridge—the Apurimac Bridge—suspended  above the raging Apurímac River, he and his party passed through fertile valleys which brought them finally to the city of Cuzco, on 20 March 1853. <mask> remained in the city for several weeks, researching Inca history, describing in his journal the many buildings and ruins that he visited.During the course of an excursion to nearby towns and ruins he reached the area of San Miguel, La Mar, Ayacucho, where he first learned of the properties of the cinchona plant, a source of quinine, cultivated in that vicinity. He finally left Cuzco on 18 May, accompanied by a party of six who, like him, were returning to Lima. Their journey took them southwards, descending the mountains to the city of Arequipa, a former Spanish colonial settlement with a mixture of native

 and European architecture. The city is overlooked by the conical volcano Mount Misti, which <mask> likened to Mount Fuji in Japan. On 23 June, the party reached Lima, where <mask> learned of the death of his father. He departed for England, where he arrived on 17 September. Cinchona mission, 1859–1861

The idea of introducing cinchona to India was first made in 1813, by W. Ainslie, and, years later, in 1839, John Forbes Royle suggested that it could be tried in the Nilgiris.The Indian government was spending £7000 pounds a year around 1852 when Royle made a proposal to introduce cinchona to India. By coincidence <mask> was a civil servant in the India Office, and in 1859 he made proposals to his employers for a scheme for collecting cinchona trees from the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes, and transplanting them to selected sites in India. Cinchona bark, a source of quinine, was the first known treatment for malaria and other tropical diseases. These plans were approved and <mask> was placed in charge of the operation. <mask> and his team, which included the botanist Richard Spruce and his future brother-in-law, the New Zealander Charles Bowen, left England for Peru in December 1859, arriving in Lima late in January 1860. There was danger in their enterprise; Peru and Bolivia were on the verge of war, and <mask>'s party soon experienced the hostility of Peruvian interests anxious to protect their control over the cinchona trade. This limited his sphere of operations, and prevented him from obtaining specimens of the best quality.Later Markham overcame bureaucratic obstruction to obtain the necessary export licences. <mask> returned briefly to England before sailing to India, to select suitable

 sites for cinchona plantations there and in Burma (now Myanmar) and Ceylon. Although many of the Indian plantations failed to flourish and were soon destroyed by insects, others survived, and were augmented by species obtained by Spruce which were more suited to Indian conditions. Twenty years after the first plantations the annual cinchona bark crop from India was estimated at . For his work in introducing cinchona to India, <mask> received a grant of £3,000 (over £200,000 in 2008 terms) from the British Government. Civil servant, geographer, traveller

India Office, 1857–1867
After the death of his father in 1853 Markham needed paid employment, and in December 1853 secured a junior clerkship in the Legacy Duty Office of the Inland Revenue at a salary of £90 per annum (around £6,000 in 2008). He found the work tedious, but after six months was able to transfer to the forerunner of what became, in 1857, the India Office.Here, the work was interesting and rewarding, with sufficient time to allow him to travel and pursue his geographical interests. In April 1857, <mask> married Minna Chichester, who accompanied him on the cinchona mission to Peru and India. Their only child, a daughter Mary Louise (known as May), was born in 1859. As part of his India Office duties <mask> investigated and reported to the Indian government on the introduction of Peruvian cotton into the Madras Presidency, on the growth of ipecacuanha in Brazil and the possibilities for cultivating this medicinal plant in India, and on the future of the pearl industry at Tirunelveli in Southern India. He was also involved in an ambitious plan for the transplanting of Brazilian rubber trees, claiming that he would "do for the

In 1867, <mask> was selected to accompany Sir Robert Napier's military expeditionary force to Abyssinia, as the expedition's geographer.This force was despatched by the British government as a response to actions taken by the Abyssinian King Theodore. In 1862, the king had written to the British government requesting helping modernize his nation, and proposing the appointment of an ambassador to which the British had previously suggested. Unwilling to risk monopoly of cotton in Egypt, the British government did not reply. The king reacted to this slight and other snubs by seizing and imprisoning the British consul and his staff, and ordered the arrest and whipping of a missionary who had insulted the king's mother. A belated reply to the king's letter resulted in the capture and incarceration of the deputation that brought it. After efforts at conciliation failed, the British decided to settle the matter by sending a military expedition. Because the geography of the country was so little known, it was decided that an experienced traveller with map-making skills should accompany the force, hence <mask>'s appointment.Napier's troops arrived at Annesley Bay in the Red Sea, early in 1868. <mask> was attached to the force's headquarters staff, with responsibility for general survey work and in particular the selection of the route to Magdala, the king's mountain stronghold. <mask> also acted as the party's naturalist, reporting on the species of wildlife encountered during the  march southward from the coast. He

 accompanied Napier to the walls of Magdala, which was stormed on 10 April 1868. As the king's forces charged down the mountain to meet Napier's advancing troops <mask> recorded: "The Snider–Enfield rifles kept up a fire no Abyssinian troops could stand. They were mown down in lines ... the most heroic struggle could do nothing in the face of such vast inequality of arms." <mask> added that although the king's misdeeds had been numerous and his cruelties horrible, he had finally died as a hero.On the orders of General Napier, Magdala was burnt to the ground, its native and foreign guns destroyed and the accumulated treasures in the fortress looted. The British troops then departed, and <mask> was back in England in July 1868. For his services to this campaign <mask> was appointed Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1871. Second Arctic voyage, 1875–1876

<mask> had, through his various activities, come to know many influential people, and during the early 1870s used these connections to make the case for a Royal Naval Arctic expedition. Prime minister Benjamin Disraeli consented, in the "spirit of maritime enterprise that has ever distinguished the English people". When the expedition was ready to sail, <mask> was invited to accompany it as far as Greenland, on , one of the expedition's three ships. <mask> accepted, and left with the convoy on 29 March 1875.He was gone for three months, remaining with Alert as far as Disko Island in Baffin Bay. He wrote of this journey: "I never had a happier cruise ... a nobler set of fellows never sailed together." He returned to England on the support vessel , although the homeward voyage was delayed after Valorous struck a reef and required substantial

 repairs. <mask>'s extended absence from his India Office duties, together with his increasing involvement in a range of other interests, caused his superiors to request his resignation. <mask> retired from his post in 1877, his 22 years of service entitling him to a pension. Meanwhile, the main expedition, under the command of Captain George Nares, had proceeded north with the two ships  and . On 1 September 1875, they reached 82° 24', the highest northern latitude reached by any ship up to that date.In the following spring a sledging party led by <mask>'s cousin, Commander Albert Hastings <mask>, achieved a record Farthest North at 83° 20'. Royal Geographical Society

Honorary secretary, 1863–1888

In November 1854, <mask> had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. The Society soon became the centre of his geographical interests, and in 1863 he was appointed its honorary secretary, a position he was to hold for 25 years. In addition to his work in promoting the Nares Arctic expedition, <mask> followed the work of other Arctic explorers, organising a reception in 1880, for the Swedish explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld after the latter's successful navigation of the North-East Passage, and monitoring the progress of the American expeditions of Adolphus Greely and George W. DeLong. Release from the India Office provided <mask> with more time for travel. He made regular trips to Europe, and in 1885, went to America, where he met with President Grover Cleveland in the White House. Throughout his secretaryship <mask> was a prolific writer of travel books and biographies, and of many papers presented to the RGS and elsewhere.He was the author of the Encyclopædia Britannica

Within the RGS <mask> was responsible for the revision of the Society's standard Hints to Travellers, and for relaunching the journal Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society in a much livelier format. <mask> conducted the Geographical Magazine from 1872–1878, when it became merged in the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society. In parallel with his RGS duties <mask> served as secretary of the Hakluyt Society until 1886, subsequently becoming that society's president. As part of his work for this body, <mask> was responsible for many translations from Spanish into English of rare accounts of travel, in particular those relating to Peru. In time scholars would express doubts about the quality of some of these translations, finding them prepared in haste and lacking in rigour.Nevertheless, this work ran to 22 volumes in the society's publications. In 1873, <mask> had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in subsequent years received several overseas honours, including the Portuguese Order of Christ and the Order of the Rose of Brazil. He briefly considered, but did not pursue, the idea of a parliamentary career. <mask> maintained his interest in the navy, particularly in the training of its officers. He often visited the merchant officer training vessels,  and HMS Worcester, and became a member of the latter's governing body. In early 1887 he accepted an invitation from his cousin <mask>, who now commanded the Royal Navy's training squadron, to join the squadron at its station in the West Indies. <mask> spent three months aboard the flagship , during which, on 1 March

In May 1888, <mask> resigned from his position as RGS Secretary, finding himself at odds with the Society's new policies which appeared to favour education over exploration. On his retirement he was awarded the Society's Founder's Medal for what were described at the presentation ceremony as his "incomparable services to the Society". The next few years were filled with travel and writing. There were further cruises with the training squadron, and extended visits to the Baltic and the Mediterranean. In 1893, during the course of one of these journeys, <mask> was elected in absentia president of the society. This unexpected elevation was the result of a dispute within the Society over the question of women members, about which Markham had kept silent.When in July 1893, the issue was put to a special general meeting, the proposal to admit women was narrowly defeated despite an overwhelming postal ballot in favour. In these circumstances the Society's President, Sir M. E. Grant Duff, resigned his office. The 22 existing women members were allowed to remain, but no more were admitted until January 1913 when the RGS changed its policy. Although <mask> was not the first choice as a replacement for Grant Duff—other notable figures were approached—he had kept out of the women members controversy and was broadly acceptable to the membership. Shortly after his accession to the presidency, in recognition of his services to geography <mask> was promoted Knight Commander of the

 Order of the Bath, and became Sir <mask> <mask>. In a letter written many years later, <mask> said that on the assumption of the presidency he had felt the need, after the dispute over women, to "restore the Society's good name" by the adoption of some great enterprise. He chose Antarctic exploration as the basis for this mission; there had been no significant Antarctic exploration by any country since Sir James Clark Ross's expedition fifty years previously.A new impetus was provided through a lecture given to the RGS in 1893, by the oceanographer John Murray, calling for "an expedition to resolve the outstanding questions still posed in the south." In response to Murray the RGS and the Royal Society formed a joint committee, to campaign for a British Antarctic expedition. National Antarctic Expedition, 1895–1904

Murray's call for the resumption of Antarctic exploration was taken up again two years later, when the RGS acted as host to the sixth International Geographical Congress in August 1895. This Congress passed a unanimous resolution:

The joint committee organising the British response to this resolution contained a difference of view. Murray and the Royal Society argued for a largely civilian expedition, directed and staffed by scientists, while <mask> and most of the RGS contingent saw a National Antarctic Expedition as a means of reviving naval glories, and wanted the expedition organised accordingly. <mask>'s tenacity finally won the day when in 1900 he secured the appointment of his protégé Robert Falcon Scott, by then a torpedo lieutenant on , as the expedition's overall commander. In doing so he thwarted an attempt to place the leadership in the hands of Professor John

texts: Walter Gregory of the British Museum.In the view of <mask>'s critics, this represented the subordination of scientific work to naval adventure, although the "Instructions to the Commander", drawn up by <mask>, give equal priorities to geographical and scientific work. The "science versus adventure" arguments were renewed when, after the return of the expedition, there was criticism over the accuracy and professionalism of some of its scientific results. <mask> faced further problems in securing funding for the expedition. In 1898, after three years' effort, only a fraction of what was required had been promised. Meanwhile, the Anglo-Norwegian explorer Carsten Borchgrevink had obtained a sum of £40,000 (over £3 million in 2008) from publisher George Newnes, to finance a private Antarctic venture. <mask> was furious, believing that funds were being diverted from his own project, and denounced Borchgrevink as "evasive, a liar and a fraud". He was equally hostile to William Speirs Bruce, the Scottish explorer who had written to <mask> asking to join the National Antarctic Expedition.On receiving no confirmation of an appointment, Bruce obtained finance from the Scottish Coats baronets family and organised his own Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. <mask> accused Bruce of "mischievous rivalry", and of attempting to "cripple the National Expedition ... in order to get up a scheme for yourself". The Scottish expedition duly sailed, but <mask> remained unforgiving towards it, and used his influence to ensure that its participants received no Polar Medals on their return. A substantial private donation and a government grant finally allowed the National Antarctic Expedition to proceed. A new

 ship, the , was built, and a mainly naval crew of officers and crewmen appointed, along with a scientific staff which was later described as "underpowered". Discovery sailed on 5 August 1901, after an inspection by King Edward VII, at which <mask> was present to introduce Scott and the officers. The ship was gone for just over three years during which time, from a base in the Ross Sea area, significant explorations of this sector of Antarctica were carried out, along with an extensive scientific programme.Although it was reported by the Times as "one of the most successful [expeditions] that ever ventured into the Polar regions, north or south," it was largely ignored by the government of the day. <mask> was criticised in official quarters for privately sanctioning a second season in the Antarctic, contrary to the original plan, and then being unable to raise funds for the expedition's relief in 1904. The cost for this had to be borne on His Majesty's Treasury. Later life

Shackleton and Scott

A few months after the Discoverys return, <mask> announced his retirement from the RGS presidency. He was 75 years old; according to his biographer he felt that his active geographical life was now over. His 12 years in the presidency was the longest period on record. He remained a member of the RGS Council, a vice-president, and he kept an active interest in Antarctic exploration, particularly in the two British expeditions which set out in the five years following his retirement.These were led respectively by Ernest Shackleton and Scott. <mask> had agreed to Shackleton's appointment as third officer on the Discovery following a recommendation from the expedition's principal private donor. He had

Later, after Shackleton had confided his intention to lead an expedition of his own, <mask> supplied a generous testimonial, describing Shackleton as "well-fitted to have charge of men in an enterprise involving hardship and peril", and "admirably fitted for the leader[ship] of a Polar Expedition." He expressed strong support for Shackleton's 1907–1909 Nimrod expedition: "... not only my most cordial wishes for your success will accompany you, but also a well-founded hope." When news of the expedition's achievement of a new Farthest South latitude of 88°23' reached him, <mask> publicly signified his intention to propose Shackleton for the RGS Patron's Medal. However, <mask> had second thoughts, and was soon writing to the current RGS president, Leonard Darwin, to express disbelief about Shackleton's claimed latitudes, repeating these doubts to Scott.Historians have surmised that Scott was <mask>'s protégé, and that the old man resented polar glory going to someone else. Whatever his reason, <mask> adopted a bitterness towards Shackleton which he retained for the rest of his life. He is said to have crossed out all favourable references to Shackleton in his own notes on the Discovery expedition, and to have virtually ignored Shackleton's achievements in a 1912 address to the British Association. He was equally dismissive in his history of Antarctic exploration, The Lands of Silence – published posthumously in 1921). By contrast, <mask> remained on close personal terms with Scott and was godfather to the

 explorer's son, born 14 September 1909 and named <mask> Scott in the old man's honour. In his tribute to Scott in the preface to Scott's Last Expedition (1913), <mask> describes Scott as "among the most remarkable men of our time", and talks of the "beauty" of his character. As Scott lay dying "there was no thought for himself, only the earnest thought to give comfort and consolation to others."In one of the last letters written from his final camp, days from death, Scott wrote: "Tell Sir Clements I thought much of him, and never regretted his putting me in command of the 'Discovery'." Retirement

After his retirement from the RGS presidency, <mask> led an active life as a writer and traveller. He wrote biographies of the English kings Edward IV and Richard III, and of his old naval friend Admiral Sir Leopold McClintock; he also kept up his editing and translating work. He continued to produce papers for the RGS, and remained president of the Hakluyt Society until 1910. <mask> continued to travel extensively in Europe, and in 1906 cruised with the Mediterranean squadron, where Scott was acting as flag captain to Rear Admiral George Egerton. When, in 1909, Scott announced his plans for a new Antarctic venture, the Terra Nova expedition, <mask> assisted with fundraising and served on the expedition's organising committee, arranging the deal which brought in Lieutenant "Teddy" Evans as second-in-command, in return for the abandonment of Evans's own expedition plans. <mask> was awarded honorary degrees from the University of Cambridge and University of Leeds.In conferring this latter degree, the Chancellor referred to <mask> as "a veteran in the service of mankind", and recalled that he had

 been "for sixty years the inspiration of English geographical science." However, <mask> did not altogether avoid controversy. In 1912, when Roald Amundsen, conqueror of the South Pole, was invited by RGS president Leonard Darwin to dine with the Society, <mask> resigned his council seat in protest. The news of the death of Scott and his returning polar party reached <mask> in February 1913, while he was staying in Estoril. He returned to England, and assisted with the preparation of Scott's journals for publication. Scott's death was a heavy blow, but <mask> continued to lead a busy life of writing and travelling. In 1915, he was present at the service in St Peter's Church, Binton, near Stratford-upon-Avon, where a window was dedicated to Scott and his companions; later that year he assisted at the unveiling of the Royal Navy's statue of Scott, in Waterloo Place, London.<mask> read his last paper for the RGS on 10 June 1915, its title being "The History of the Gradual Development of the Groundwork of Geographical Science". Death and legacy

On 29 January 1916, while reading in bed by candlelight, <mask> set fire to the bedclothes and was overcome by smoke. He died the following day. His last diary entry, a few days earlier, had recorded a visit from <mask> Scott. The family received tributes from King George V, who acknowledged the debt the country owed to <mask>'s life work of study and research; from the Royal Geographical Society and the other learned bodies with which <mask> had been associated; from the Naval Commander-in-Chief at Devonport; and from Fridtjof Nansen, the Norwegian Arctic explorer. Other messages were received from France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, the United States, and

texts: from Arequipa in Peru. More critical assessments of Markham's life and work were to follow.Hugh Robert Mill, Shackleton's first biographer and for many years the RGS librarian, referred to the dictatorial manner in which <mask> had run the Society. In time, questions would be raised about the accuracy of some of his Hakluyt translations, and about the evidence of haste in the preparation of other publications. On a personal level he had made enemies as well as friends; Frank Debenham, the geologist who served with both Scott and Shackleton, called <mask> "a dangerous old man", while William Speirs Bruce wrote of <mask>'s "malicious opposition to the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition". Bruce's colleague Robert Rudmose-Brown went further, calling <mask> "that old fool and humbug". These protestations reflected <mask>'s protective attitude towards Scott; according to Bruce, "Scott was <mask>'s protégé, and Markham thought it necessary, in order to uphold Scott, that I should be obliterated". He added that "Scott and I were always good friends, in spite of Markham." <mask>'s writings on naval history have been criticised by modern scholars due to his nationalistic exaggeration of English sailors' achievements in the Age of Discoveries.It has been suggested that <mask>'s prejudices about polar travel, particularly his belief in the "nobility" of manhauling, had been passed to Scott, to the detriment of all future British expeditions. Mill's measured opinion, that <mask> was "an enthusiast rather than a scholar", has been asserted as a fair summary of his strengths and weaknesses, and as the basis for his influence on the discipline of geography in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.

 is commemorated by Mount Markham, , in the Transantarctic range, discovered and named by Scott on his southern march during the Discovery expedition in 1902. The Markham River in Papua New Guinea was named after him; Carsten Borchgrevink discovered and named Markham Island in the Ross Sea during his 1900 expedition, a gesture that was not, however, acknowledged by <mask>. The name lives on in Lima, Peru, through Markham College, a private co-educational school. Minna Bluff, a promontory extending into the Ross Ice Shelf, was named by Scott for Lady Markham. The plant genus Markhamia was named after Markham by the German botanist Berthold Carl Seemann in 1863.<mask>'s estate was valued for probate purposes at £7,740 (2008 equivalent £376,000). He was survived by his wife Minna, to whom Albert Hastings <mask>'s 1917 biography of Sir Clements is dedicated. <mask>'s only child, May, avoided public life and devoted herself to church work in the East End of London.

He had surgery for the fracture on July 16.Although the initial timetable for <mask>'s return was six to eight weeks, the Phillies official website later published an article stating that there was no timetable for his return and they were unsure whether or not he will return for a remainder of the 2013 season. He ended up missing the rest of the 2013 season, and finished with a .305 batting average, 0 home runs, 17 runs batted in and 22 stolen bases. <mask> entered the 2014 season healthy, and, amidst chaos and position battles elsewhere, he was the preeminent starter in center field. Before the season, Pat Egan of Phillies Nation published an article declaring the Phillies as the clear winners of the trade that brought <mask> to Philadelphia. Though initially writers thought the Twins received a terrific return and it was a terrible trade for the Phillies, Worley was ultimately outrighted of the Twins' roster and traded, and May's status as a top prospect languished, whereas <mask> had emerged as a viable everyday center fielder who was under contract with the Phillies through 2018.

On May 27, 2014, <mask> finally hit his first MLB home run in his 1,466th career at-bat, the longest streak without a home run to begin a career since Frank Taveras in 1977.

Offense
<mask>'s former teammate Denard Span described him as having the "ability to change games with his speed both offensively and defensively" and saying that he is always "looking to steal second and third" to gain offense momentum. A slap hitter, he has struggled to hit for power during his career; it took him 1,466 at-bats to hit his first home run, the most since 1977. According to a hot zone chart generated by ESPN Stats and Information, Revere has the best batting average and slugging percentage on pitches on the lower-outside part of the plate.<mask> hits left-handed pitchers as well as he does right-handed pitchers. Lindy's Sports noted that despite having a long swing with a "big timing hitch", he makes "excellent line-drive contact" and is a productive leadoff hitter with excellent speed. The Baseball Cube's player ratings, which are based solely on statistics on a 0-100 scale, rated <mask> as a 98 for contact and a 97 for speed. Defense
Defensively, <mask> has excellent range in the outfield and, during the 2012 season, amassed a 16.4 ultimate zone rating (UZR), which is well above average. FanGraphs described him as being an "elite" defensive player due to his speed and range. Even when he has struggles offensively, his defense has warranted him being in the lineup both during the early stages of his career with the Twins as a Right fielder and during his 2013 slump with the Phillies. Though <mask> uses his speed efficiently in covering ground in the outfield, he has struggled to produce with his below average

Described by writer Craig Hughner as embodying a "full-throttle" style of play along with a "genuine, charismatic personality", Revere is known for his energy on the field. <mask> called his personality a product of the manner in which he was raised, and that he always tries to be "goofy" and to keep things loose. Former teammate Denard Span corroborated Revere being "goofy", that he is a "real good teammate", and that he comes to play the right way every day. Revere is a devout Christian; he says that he prays nightly and reads his Bible weekly. In addition, Revere is a self-proclaimed history buff and wants to explore Philadelphia museums and famous sites when he no longer has to focus so much on baseball. References

title: Michel de Certeau

texts:
<mask>  (; 17 May 1925 – 9 January 1986) was a French Jesuit and scholar whose work combined history, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the social sciences. He was known as a philosopher of everyday life and widely regarded as a historian who had interests ranging from travelogues of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to contemporary urban life. Education
<mask> was born in 1925 in Chambéry, Savoie. <mask>'s education was eclectic, following the medieval tradition of peregrinatio academica. After obtaining degrees in classics and philosophy at the universities of Grenoble, Lyon, he studied the works of Pierre Favre (1506–1546) at the École pratique des hautes études (Paris) with Jean Orcibal. He undertook religious training at a seminary in Lyon, where he entered the Jesuit order (Society of Jesus) in 1950 and was ordained in 1956. De Certeau entered the Society of Jesus hoping to do missionary work in China.In the year of his ordination, <mask> became one of the founders of the journal Christus, with which he would actively be involved for much of his life. In 1960 he earned his doctorate ("thèse de 3e Cycle") at the  Sorbonne with a study of co-founder of the Society of Jesus Pierre Favre (the Sorbonne is a secular state university where theology may not be taught) before embarking on his celebrated study of Jean-Joseph Surin. Professional life
<mask> was greatly influenced by Sigmund Freud and was, along with Jacques Lacan, one of the founding members of École Freudienne de Paris, an informal group which served as a focal point for French scholars interested in psychoanalysis. He came to public attention after publishing an article dealing with the May 1968 events in

 France. He also took part in Robert Jaulin's department of ethnology at the University of Paris-VII after May 68. <mask> went on to teach at several universities in locations as diverse as Geneva, San Diego, and Paris. Through the 1970s and 1980s he produced a string of works that demonstrated his interest in mysticism, phenomenology, and psychoanalysis.He died in Paris, aged 60, from pancreatic cancer. The Practice of Everyday Life
<mask>'s most well-known and influential work in the United States has been The Practice of Everyday Life, cited in fields such as rhetoric, performance studies, and law. In The Practice of Everyday Life, <mask> combined his disparate scholarly interests to develop a theory of the productive and consumptive activity inherent in everyday life. According to <mask>au, everyday life is distinctive from other practices of daily existence because it is repetitive and unconscious. <mask>’s study of everyday life is neither the study of “popular culture”, nor is it necessarily the study of everyday resistances to regimes of power. Instead, he attempts to outline the way individuals unconsciously navigate everything from city streets to literary texts. The Practice of Everyday Life distinguishes between the concepts of strategy and tactics.De Certeau links "strategies" with institutions and structures of power who are the "producers", while individuals are "consumers" or "poachers," acting in accordance with, or against, environments defined by strategies by using "tactics". In the chapter "Walking in the City", <mask>au asserts that "the city" is generated by the strategies of governments, corporations, and other institutional bodies who produce things

 like maps that describe the city as a unified whole. De Certeau uses the vantage from the World Trade Center in New York to illustrate the idea of a synoptic, unified view. By contrast, the walker at street level moves in ways that are tactical and never fully determined by the plans of organizing bodies, taking shortcuts in spite of the strategic grid of the streets. De Certeau's argument is that everyday life works by a process of poaching on the territory of others, using the rules and products that already exist in culture in a way that is influenced, but never wholly determined, by those rules and products. According to Andrew Blauvelt, who relies on the work of <mask>au in his essay on design and everyday life:

De Certeau's investigations into the realm of routine practices, or the "arts of doing" such as walking, talking, reading, dwelling, and cooking, were guided by his belief that despite repressive aspects of modern society, there exists an element of creative resistance to these structures enacted by ordinary people. In The Practice of Everyday Life, <mask>au outlines an important critical distinction between strategies and tactics in this battle of repression and expression.According to him, strategies are used by those within organizational power structures, whether small or large, such as the state or municipality, the corporation or the proprietor, a scientific enterprise or the scientist. Strategies are deployed against some external entity to institute a set of relations for official or proper ends, whether adversaries, competitors, clients, customers, or simply subjects. Tactics, on the other hand, are employed by those who are subjugated. By their very

<mask> (October 21, 1906 – May 6, 2006) was an American secretarial worker who was one of the last three living survivors of the sinking of  on April 15, 1912, and the last survivor with actual memories of the disaster. Early life
<mask> was born on October 21, 1906, in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States, to Carl and Selma (née Johansson) <mask>, both immigrants from Sweden. Her parents had lived briefly in Missouri prior to settling in Worcester. <mask> had a twin brother, Carl, and two older brothers, Filip (b. 1898) and Clarence (b. 1902). In 1907, <mask>'s family received word that <mask>'s paternal grandfather had died back in Sweden.As her father was the executor of his estate, the family made arrangements to return to Sweden to settle the estate of the family farm, located near the village of Alseda in Småland. <mask>, her parents and three brothers sailed from Boston aboard the Cunard Line's Ivernia and arrived in Liverpool on July 4, from where they proceeded to Gothenburg before arriving at Alseda. The family remained at Alseda for over four years while settling matters with the farm and caring for <mask>'s grandmother, during which time Selma gave birth to another son, Felix, in March 1909. <mask>'s mother would have rather stayed in Sweden, but her father said the children would get a better education back in America and booked passage for his family on the new White Star Line's Titanic. Aboard Titanic
<mask>, her parents, and four brothers boarded Titanic at Southampton, England, United Kingdom, on April 10, 1912, as third-class passengers. <mask> was five years old

 at the time and recalled that the ship "was very big, and it had just been painted. I remember not liking the smell of fresh paint."Selma <mask> recalled that when Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 pm on the night of April 14, 1912, the family got to the first class promenade window where <mask> and Felix were loaded descending lifeboat no. 15 by their father. Despite her wishes to remain with her husband, she eventually was thrown in the boat; <mask> later recalled, "My mother said she would rather stay with him [my father] and go down with the ship. But he said the children should not be alone. She [my mother] got a seat. She had Felix on her lap, and she had me between her knees. I think she thought she could keep me a little warmer that way."Because the boat was nearly full and there was no more room for the other boys, <mask> told his wife, "Go ahead, we will get into one of the other boats." <mask> was haunted by the memory of seeing her father and brothers standing at the rail and seeing her father lead her brothers away, presumably to find another lifeboat. She later said that the ship sinking "looked like a big building going down." <mask>'s father, Carl, and her three brothers, Filip, Clarence and Carl Edgar, all perished in the sinking. <mask>, her mother and brother were rescued by , which had arrived at the scene shortly after four o'clock in the morning. <mask> and her brother were loaded into burlap bags and hoisted to the ship's deck. Aboard the Carpathia, <mask> remembered:
A woman took all my clothes off me.My clothes had gotten very dirty and wet in the lifeboat.

 My mother was trying to find me. She was saying, 'I have a daughter!' Well, she found me. And eventually my clothes were dry, and I put them back on. They took us, the children, to the place where they take people who are sick. Well, not sick, but people who needed a little more attention.The people on the Carpathia were very good to us." Carpathia arrived in New York City on April 18. <mask>'s mother took her and her brother to Worcester shortly thereafter. In the confusion after the disaster, a Worcester newspaper reported that both Mr. and Mrs. <mask> had been saved, along with Clarence, <mask> and Felix, and that Filip and Carl had drowned. A later report said that Mrs. <mask> and her "two babies" had been taken to a local hospital, and that Mr. <mask> and Clarence were apparently at another location. A final report confirmed that neither <mask>'s father nor Clarence were among the survivors. Mr. <mask>'s body was recovered by CS Mackay-Bennett.On his corpse was his watch, its hands frozen at 2:19 am, one minute before the ship went down entirely. He was later buried in All Faiths Cemetery in Worcester. As the family's savings and possessions were lost in the disaster, a fundraiser and benefit was held by the city of Worcester which brought in $2,000 (). Later life
<mask>'s mother never recovered from the loss of her husband and three eldest sons and refused to discuss the disaster with anyone, saying that it was simply wrong to do so. <mask> agreed and, for the rest of her life, hardly ever spoke of the disaster. According to her lawyer, when asked about why she refused

 interviews even when offered money, <mask> stated: "Why do I want money from the Titanic? Look what I lost.A father and three brothers." <mask> worked secretarial jobs in the Worcester area and retired early to care for her mother. Ms. <mask> died on April 15, 1964, the 52nd anniversary of the sinking, at the age of 90. Her brother Felix, who never married and with whom <mask> lived, died of pneumonia on March 15, 1983, at the age of 73. Death
<mask> died in her home in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, on May 6, 2006, at the age of 99. She was buried at the Old Swedish Cemetery in Worcester, alongside her father, mother, and brother. Her death left Barbara West Dainton and Millvina Dean as the last two living survivors of the Titanic.However, as both women were less than a year old at the time, neither had any recollection of the sinking. With <mask> being the last survivor who remembered the disaster, first-hand accounts of the RMS Titanic passed into history upon her death. After <mask>'s death, the steamship ticket she had held for so many years was sold at auction in 2009. It was a part of documents and items that were posthumously found in a safety deposit box that were connected to the disaster, such as her father's pocket watch that stopped at 2:19 am. References

<mask>, known as <mask> and the Ice Man (October 1, 1932 – November 24, 1993), was an American electric blues guitarist and singer with a distinctive guitar style. He was noted for his powerful playing and his use of altered tunings and a capo. His long association with the Fender Telecaster led to the title "The Master of the Telecaster". Early life
<mask> was born in Leona, Texas, on October 1, 1932. He was introduced to the guitar at an early age by his cousin Lightnin' Hopkins, also a Leona resident, who played at family gatherings. The <mask> family relocated to Marquez, Texas, in 1938 and to Houston in 1941, where he attended Jack Yates High School. <mask> took piano lessons when he was young, but when his piano tutor was unavailable his cousin Willow Young would lend <mask> his guitar and taught him the altered tuning that he used throughout his career.<mask> tuned his guitar to an open F-minor chord (FCFAbCF), with a capo at the 5th, 6th or 7th fret. At the age of sixteen, he decided to concentrate on learning the guitar after hearing "Boogie Chillen'" by John Lee Hooker. Career
At eighteen <mask> started his own group, the Rhythm Rockers, in which he honed his craft. During this time he was employed for four years at a ranch in Normangee, Texas; he then worked as a truck driver for various companies for twelve years. <mask> played an Epiphone guitar during his first two years with the Rhythm Rockers, but in 1952, after seeing Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown playing a Fender Esquire, he decided to purchase

texts: a Fender. He wanted a Telecaster, but because of the cost he chose to buy an Esquire, which he took to the Parker Music Company in Houston to be fitted with a Telecaster neck pickup. This was his main guitar until he moved to California, and it was the guitar that he used on his earliest recordings, including his signature song, "Frosty".For the rest of his career he played a "maple cap"–necked natural ash body Fender 1966 Custom Telecaster with a Gibson PAF humbucking pickup retrofitted into the neck position, which became the basis for a Fender Custom Artist signature model in 1990. In 1954, <mask>, then aged 22 and without a record release, was joined in the Rhythm Rockers by 17-year-old Johnny Copeland, who had just left the Dukes of Rhythm (a band he had started with the Houston blues musician Joe "Guitar" Hughes). <mask> started to play regularly in Houston, notably at Shady's Playhouse, where James "Widemouth" Brown (brother of Gatemouth Brown) and other well-known Houston blues musicians would meet for "Blue Monday" jams. By the mid-1950s, he had established his reputation as a local guitarist of note and had started to appear regularly at a Fifth Ward club, Walter's Lounge, with the group Big Tiny and the Thunderbirds. The saxophonist and music teacher Henry Hayes heard about <mask> from Joe "Guitar" Hughes. After seeing him perform live, Hayes encouraged <mask> to record a single for Kangaroo Records, a label he had started with his friend M. L. Young. <mask> recorded his debut single, "Freeze",

 backed with "Collins Shuffle", for Kangaroo at Gold Star Studios, in Houston, in the spring of 1958, with Hayes on saxophone.Texas blues bands of this period incorporated a horn section, and <mask> later credited Hayes with teaching him how to arrange for horns. 1960s
In 1964, he recorded "Frosty" at Gulf Coast Recording Studio in Beaumont, Texas for Hall Records, owned by Bill Hall, who had signed <mask> on the recommendation of Cowboy Jack Clement, a songwriter and producer who had engineered sessions for Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash at Sun Records. His debut album, The Cool Sound of <mask>, released in 1965 on the TCF Hall label, consisted of previously released instrumentals, including "Thaw-Out", "Sno-Cone", and "Don't Lose Your Cool". On 19 June 1968, the group Canned Heat was playing at the Music Hall in Houston, and a friend of theirs mentioned that <mask> was playing at the Ponderosa Club, which they duly attended. After <mask> had finished playing, they introduced themselves and offered to help secure an agent for him as well as an introduction to Imperial Records in California. With the offer of a record deal and regular live work, <mask> decided to move, relocating to Kansas City in July 1968, where he played in the organ trio of the keyboardist Lawrence Wright, and then in November moving to Palo Alto, California. For his 1968 Imperial album, <mask> chose the title Love Can Be Found Anywhere (Even in a Guitar), from the lyrics of Canned Heat's "Fried Hockey Boogie", in honor of Canned Heat

 and their lead singer Bob Hite, who wrote the liner notes for the album.In the spring of 1969 <mask> was hired by Bob Krasnow to play on the Ike and Tina Turner album The Hunter, which was released by Krasnow's Blue Thumb Records. The move to California was proving to be the right decision, with <mask> establishing himself as a regular act on the West Coast circuit, playing at the Fillmore West and the Whisky a Go Go and at the "Newport 69" festival in Northridge, California, in June 1969 and the Gold Rush Festival at Lake Amador, California, in October. In December 1969, his debut album, The Cool Sound of <mask>, was reissued as Truckin’ with <mask> by Blue Thumb. 1970s
In November 1971, the Denver label Tumbleweed Records, which had been newly created by Larry Ray and Bill Szymczyk, released <mask>'s album There's Gotta Be a Change; it was the label's first official release. The single "Get Your Business Straight", backed with "Frog Jumpin'", was released by Tumbleweed in February 1972. In 1973 Tumbleweed closed because of financial problems, leaving <mask> without a record label. He was signed by Bruce Iglauer, the owner of Alligator Records, in 1978 on the recommendation of Dick Shurman, whom <mask> had met in Seattle.His first release for the label was Ice Pickin' (1978), which was recorded at Curtom Studios, in Chicago, and produced by Iglauer, Shurman and Richard McLeese.
