 or as a central midfielder in the mezzala role, and is equally comfortable at playing both in an attacking and defensive midfield role; he is also capable of being deployed in a deeper role as a playmaker. As such, he has also been labelled a box-to-box midfielder in the media. He is also capable of playing on the left or right flank, and has even been deployed as a full-back on occasion. Normally deployed as a holding midfielder in front of the back-line, <mask> is known as a dynamic, physically strong, tenacious and energetic right-footed midfielder, with good ball-winning abilities. He also possesses good technique, dribbling skills, pace and good long passing ability, which enables him to start attacking plays after winning back possession. He has been described as a complete and tactically versatile midfielder, who is different from traditional defensive midfielders, due to his reputation for dribbling past defenders and passing the ball through the legs of an opponent, a move known as the nutmeg.Career statistics

title: Ole Edvart Rølvaag

texts:
<mask> (; Rølvåg in modern Norwegian, Rolvaag in English orthography) (April 22, 1876 – November 5, 1931) was a Norwegian-American novelist and professor who became well known for his writings regarding the Norwegian American immigrant experience. <mask> is most frequently associated with Giants in the Earth, his award-winning, epic novel of Norwegian immigrant homesteaders in Dakota Territory. Biography
Rølvåg was born in the family's cottage in a small fishing village on the island of Dønna, in Nordland county, Norway. Dønna, one of the largest islands on the northern coast of Norway, is situated about five miles from the Arctic Circle. He was born with the name <mask>, one of seven children of Peder Benjamin Jakobsen and Ellerine Pedersdatter Vaag. The settlement where he was born had no official name, but was referred to as Rølvaag, the name of a narrow bay on the northwestern point of the island where the fishermen kept their boats. At 14 years of age Rølvaag joined his father and brothers in the Lofoten fishing grounds.<mask> lived there until he was 20 years of age, and the impressions he received during the days of his childhood and his young manhood endured with him throughout his life. An uncle who had emigrated to America sent him a ticket in the summer of 1896, and he traveled to Union County, South Dakota to work as a farmhand. He settled in Elk Point, South Dakota, working as a farmhand until 1898. With the help of his pastor, Rølvaag enrolled in Augustana Academy in Canton, South Dakota where he graduated in 1901. He earned a bachelor's degree from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota in 1905, and a master's degree from the same institution in 1910. He also had

 studied for some time at the University of Oslo. Career
In 1906, <mask> was recruited as a professor by St. Olaf College president John N. Kildahl.<mask> was made head of the Norwegian Department at St. Olaf in 1916. In 1925, <mask>. Rolvaag became the first secretary and archivist of Norwegian-American Historical Association. He held both positions for the rest of his life. Personal life
In 1908, he became a United States citizen and married Jennie Marie Berdahl, the daughter of Andrew James Berdahl and Karen Oline Otterness. They had four children: Olaf, Ella, Karl and Paul. Their son, Karl Fritjof Rolvaag, served as the 31st Governor of Minnesota. <mask> died November 5, 1931, in Northfield, Minnesota.Literary style and themes
<mask> wrote in the Norwegian language, but his novels have a distinct American flavor and theme. Rolvaag was deeply influenced by earlier American writers who, writing in Norwegian, had faithfully portrayed the experiences of so many Norwegian immigrant pioneers. In this he was strongly influenced by Hans Andersen Foss and Peer Stromme, both of whom had written novels which provided realistic aspects of the homesteader's experience. The Emigrants by Norwegian author Johan Bojer, first published in 1925, follows many of these same themes. Rølvaag in turn provided an equally strong influence on future Scandinavian writers. <mask> attracted a number of gifted young Norwegian-Americans to St. Olaf College, among them Einar Haugen. Written decades later, Vilhelm Moberg's novels would depict the experience of Swedish-American immigrants.Giants in the Earth
<mask>'s authorship and scholarship focused on the pioneer experience on the Dakota plains in the 1870s. His

 most famous book was Giants in the Earth (Norwegian: I de dage), part of a trilogy. It features the story of a Norwegian pioneer family's struggles with the land and the elements of the Dakota Territory, as they try to make a new life in America. It was based partly upon Rolvaag's personal experiences as a settler and as well of the experiences of his wife's family who had been immigrant homesteaders. The novel realistically treats the lives and trials of Norwegian pioneers in the Midwest, emphasizing their battles with the elements. The book also portrays the trials of loneliness, separation from family, longing for the old country, and the difficulty of fitting into a new culture. The book was written in Norwegian and then translated into English.The book reads as an American novel but stems from an Old World literary tradition. It provides dramatic contrast between Per Hansa and his wife, Beret. Per is a natural pioneer who sees promise flooding the windswept plains. Beret hungers for the ways of her homeland, and in her heart, loneliness gathers and penetrates the deeper reality of life lived on the American frontier. Giants in the Earth served as the basis for an opera by Douglas Moore and Arnold Sundgaard that won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1951. Honors and awards
Rølvaag was appointed Knight of the Order of St Olav by King Haakon VII in 1926. Also, St. Olaf College has created a literary award named for Rolvaag, the <mask>. Rolvaag Award for Fiction, the "award honors the memory of St. Olaf’s greatest writer, <mask>".Memorials

title: Veronika Drahotová

texts: <mask>á (born July 25, 1975) is a Czech artist and curator best known for mixed-media work incorporating painting, photography, video and installation. In 1992, she was one of the youngest students ever to matriculate at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts, Prague (AVU), studying under J. David and J. Sopko, receiving a one-year scholarship (1995) at the San Francisco Art Institute, and a Master of Arts degree in 2000. She made her first big splash in the art world in 1998 with Castle in the Sky, a large-scale light installation funded by the  Soros Foundation. In it, the famous Prague Castle was completely illuminated in a rainbow glow for several nights, and it’s still considered one of the largest public art displays to take place in the Czech Republic. The rainbow symbolism from "Castle in the Sky" was naturally incorporated into Drahotova’s ever-growing iconographic vocabulary. This highly visualized language of symbols appears persistently throughout her work across all mediums, encouraging a sense of interconnectedness within and between each. The evolution of that iconography can clearly be seen in her early portrait work, which includes the postmodern series “Bad Boys” (1997-2004), and plays out prominently in her constructed objects and installations, such as FF (for S. H.; 2004) and POP (Preliminary Orientation in the Problem; 1999).Her work was most recently featured in Vienna for Art’s Sake

He challenged for the title four more times between January 26, 1991 to February 28, 1993 coming up short each time. By 1991, <mask> also began teaming with future legend: Kenta Kobashi. The two first received a shot at the vacated All Asia Tag Team Championship on April 6, 1991 against The British Bruisers but lost.

Despite this, <mask> did occasionally receive title shots as he entered a tournament to crown the first GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion in 2001 making all the way to the semi-finals before losing to eventual winner: Yoshinobu Kanemaru.

title: Chayben Abou-Nehra

texts:
<mask> (1974 – 21 December 2008), also referred to as Ben Bou-Nahra, was a Belizean businessman. He had a variety of business activities, including as a 10% shareholder in Miles Tropical Energy, which had various petroleum concessions off the coast near Dangriga. He was a controversial figure both in life and in death. Charged with manslaughter after killing a man in September 2005, he absented himself from Belize at a time when the charges were upgraded to murder, returned when the charges were downgraded to manslaughter, and then walked free in 2007 when witnesses against him refused to testify. Late the following year he was found dead in his hotel room of a gunshot wound, in what may have been a suicide. Death of Shawn Copious

Shooting and charges
On 17 September 2005 at roughly 3:30 AM, Abou-Nehra returned to his home in King's Park, Belize City to find 23-year-old Shawn Copious in his yard. Abou-Nehra claims Copious advanced on him in a threatening manner.Abou-Nehra had a licensed 9mm pistol on his person, which he drew and fired at Copious six times, killing him. Police found a large meat cleaver on Copious' person. Copious had previously had numerous run-ins with the law, with a conviction for theft and at the time of his death also standing trial for charges of handling stolen goods. Abou-Nehra had earlier that year been accused of shooting a man at BTL Park, but no charges were filed in that incident. Copious' stepfather Lawrence Mejia spoke with Abou-Nehra after Copious' death, and described him as "a really good man" who showed remorse for the killing and offered what help he could to the family, but expressed confusion that his stepson's injuries were not


title: David Friedländer

texts:
<mask> (sometimes spelled Friedlander; 16 December 1750, Königsberg – 25 December 1834, Berlin) was a German banker, writer and communal leader. Life
Friedländer settled in Berlin in 1771. As the son-in-law of the rich banker Daniel Itzig, and a friend, pupil, and subsequently intellectual successor of Moses Mendelssohn, he occupied a prominent position in both Jewish and non-Jewish circles of Berlin. His endeavors on behalf of the Jews and Judaism included the emancipation of the Jews of Berlin and the various reforms connected therewith. Frederick William II, on his accession, called a committee whose duty was to acquaint him with the grievances of the Jews, <mask> and Itzig being chosen as general delegates. But the results of the conference were such that the Jews declared themselves unable to accept the reforms proposed, and not until after the French Revolution, with the edict of March 11, 1812, did the Jews then living on Prussian territory succeed in obtaining equal rights from Frederick William III. Friedländer and his friends in the community of Berlin now turned their attention to the reform of worship in harmony with modern ideas and the changed social position of the Jews.The proposition in itself was unjustified, and the propositions of Friedländer, who had meanwhile been called (1813) to the conferences on the reorganization of the Jewish cult held in the Israelite Consistory of Westphalia () at Cassel, were unacceptable

<mask><mask> (November 21, 1773 — July 13, 1818) was an American surveyor, farmer, miller and political leader. Biography
He was born in the Passaic Valley at Long Hill, Morris County, New Jersey, the son of wealthy farmer <mask> (20 August 1745 — 20 September 1801) and Margaret Lafferty. George’s father <mask> was born at sea on the voyage from Holland about 1695. Educated as a surveyor, when <mask><mask> was about twenty years old, he went west to Fort Washington near Cincinnati, Ohio to look after the interests of Jonathan Dayton, who owned lands and was otherwise interested in the "Symmes Purchase." This gave <mask> employment in his occupation as surveyor, and was also a favorable opportunity for observation and selection of lands for himself. Judge <mask>, a land speculator from New Jersey, initiated much of southwestern Ohio's settlement and in late 1795, he sold Arthur St<mask>, Governor of the Northwest Territory, General James Wilkinson, Israel Ludlow and New Jersey Congressman Jonathan Dayton the land that became known as the "Dayton Purchase." The four men paid $0.83 an acre for 60,000 acres (240 km²) at the confluence of the Great Miami and Mad rivers.Israel Ludlow named the village after his friend Jonathan Dayton, who ironically never set foot in the town. Ludlow also laid out the streets, which at four poles (66 ft) were wide enough to "turn a coach and four." <mask> headed the team that surveyed the land and laid out the town site in 1795. In 1796, Dayton Township, a large area containing parts of current Montgomery, Greene, Miami, Clark, Champaign, Logan, and Shelby Counties, was formed.

In 1797, <mask> laid out the Mad River Road, the first overland connection between Cincinnati and Dayton.This opened up the "Mad River Country" at Dayton and the upper Miami Valley to settlement. When Symmes later failed to meet his financial obligations to the federal government, Ludlow, St. Clair, Wilkinson, and Dayton waived their right to purchase the property from the government. In 1800, the United States Government offered to sell the property to the residents at the rate of $2.00 an acre, but this was far beyond the means of the inhabitants - and at a higher price than they had already paid Symmes. Some families left instead of paying the fee, and many potential settlers migrated to other locations. By the time the matter was settled in 1802, only five families resided in Dayton. <mask> petitioned the United States Congress, describing the town's land-title plight: Would it be right, he asked, to dispossess these settlers after they had worked so hard clearing land and raising cabins? The government named <mask> proprietor of the town.He paid the federal asking price of $2 an acre purchasing more than 3,000 acres (12 km²) of the land, including the town site. He replatted the town using the original survey with minimal alterations. Clear titles were passed to the original settlers who were once again given an "inlot" within the city and an "outlot." When original owners left the property, new settlers were required to pay $2.00 an acre and $1.00 for the city lot. In addition, <mask>

He also donated the land at Third and Main for a county courthouse to be built. The original two-story brick courthouse was replaced in 1850 by the limestone structure that rests there today.<mask> had a 1,000 acre (4 km²) farm south of the town. He brought an African American female servant to his farm in 1802, the first African-American woman of record in the area. In the Population of Record, the woman was recorded as "Black Girl." While her name is not known, her children, <mask>, born in 1803, and <mask>, born in 1805, were documented. The children became indentured servants to <mask> until they were twenty-one and eighteen, respectively. Harry learned farming and milling while Polly trained in housekeeping. In 1803, <mask> resolved to marry and live in town.He sold his farm to Robert Patterson, a Revolutionary War veteran and founder of Lexington, Kentucky and grandfather of John H. Patterson, founder of the National Cash Register Company. The land was incorporated into Patterson’s farm, "Rubicon." In 1803, Mr. <mask> married a woman in Cincinnati, whose maiden name was Sophia Greene (August 25, 1780 — May 11, 1826), the young widow of G. W. Burnet, a young lawyer of Cincinnati. Sophia was born in Rhode Island, the daughter of <mask>, a member of the Ohio Company who had removed to Marietta in 1788. <mask> built his "elegant mansion" of

He operated a general store, and, when troops were stationed in Dayton during the War of 1812, organized the idle soldiers to build a levee at the turn of the Great Miami River to protect the village from flooding. From about 1805 and for many years, he operated gristmills, sawmills and a carding and fulling mill in Dayton. He donated the land for the Dayton Hydraulic, which became the waterpower source for early manufacturing in the town. <mask><mask> was politically active from the time he became Proprietor until his death. <mask> represented Montgomery County in the Third General Assembly of Ohio convened at Chillicothe the first Monday in December 1804. He was elected to the Sixth Assembly convened at Chillicothe December 7, 1807, was elected to the Ohio State Senate from the district composed of Miami, Montgomery and Preble Counties to the Seventh General Assembly, convened at Chillicothe December 5, 1808, and was re-elected Senator to the Eighth Assembly, convened at Chillicothe the first Monday in December 1809.In 1810, he was President of the Select

<mask> (born January 14, 1984) is an American college baseball coach and former professional baseball pitcher. He is the pitching coach at Wichita State University. He played college baseball at Wichita State University from 2003 to 2005 for head coach Gene Stephenson. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, and Chicago White Sox. Professional career
After his junior year at Wichita State University, <mask> entered the June 2005 amateur baseball draft. Having chosen Scott Boras as his agent, there were concerns that <mask> would hold out or require a higher-than-market value contract. The Mets selected him with the ninth overall pick (ahead of future All-Stars Andrew McCutchen and Jay Bruce by two and three spots, respectively), even though he was projected to have gone higher than that.After six months of negotiations, the Mets signed <mask> to a four-year major league contract on January 10, 2006. The deal reportedly included a $3.5 million signing bonus and $5.3 million in guaranteed salary. <mask> began the 2006 season on the Single-A St. Lucie Mets, going 2–1 with a 1.64 ERA in four starts before being promoted to the Double-A Binghamton Mets. With Binghamton, he was 2–1 with a 2.66 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 47 innings over his first eight starts. New York Mets

2006–2008
<mask> made his major-league debut with the Mets on July 8, 2006, earning the win in a 17–3 victory against the Florida Marlins. The Mets hit grand slams (José Valentín and Carlos Beltrán) in <mask>'s first two major league starts; this was a first in baseball history. He was sent down to the Triple-A Norfolk Tides at the beginning of August.In 2007, <mask> pitched well in spring training and earned a spot in the Mets starting rotation to begin the season. However, after starting the season 0–5

texts: with a 6.53 ERA, he was demoted to the Triple-A New Orleans Zephyrs. He continued to make occasional starts for the Mets throughout the season, at one point running his record to 0–7. However, <mask> found success later in the season. Having been recalled when rosters expanded on September 1 to pitch in Atlanta, <mask> put together his best start of the season giving up only one run on one hit in six innings for his first win of the season. <mask> won his next two starts in September in the midst of a close pennant race, finishing the season with a record of 3–8. On March 30, 2008, the Mets named <mask> as their Number 5 starter.<mask> made his first start of the season on April 9, earning a win against the Philadelphia Phillies allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three in five innings pitched. <mask> then followed up this performance pitching seven shutout innings against the Washington Nationals and earned the win. It was the first major league start of his career where he did not give up a run. On May 15, 2008, <mask> pitched another good game against the Nationals. He pitched innings, not allowing a hit until the seventh and only allowed one run. On June 11, 2008, <mask> pitched 8 innings, and attempted to pitch a complete game, but was replaced by Billy Wagner when he allowed a single to lead off the 9th. In the time he pitched, he only allowed one run and walked 2, while striking out 8 Diamondbacks.However, <mask> got a no-decision as the Mets won in extra innings, 5–3, after Wagner blew a 3–0 lead in the 9th by allowing a 3-run homer to Mark Reynolds with 2 outs and 2 strikes. Later in the year, <mask> set a club record for most batters faced without giving up a home run, at 243; the streak was broken by Adam Dunn of the Reds. On July 14, 2008, <mask> was named the National League Player

 of the Week. <mask> went 2–0 while not allowing a run over his two starts against the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies during the week ending July 13. Over his 15.0 shutout innings, <mask> scattered nine hits without a walk, while striking out 10. On August 20, 2008, <mask> pitched the first complete game of his career against the Atlanta Braves. He struck out 3 in the 9 innings, throwing 108 pitches.It was a 3-hitter. In his next turn, <mask> pitched another complete game victory, this time allowing only 6 hits and 1 run while recording his 13th win of the season. So far, David Cone is the only former Mets pitcher to pitch 3 consecutive complete game victories. Once known to throw a power curveball, he gave this pitch up and learned a slider at the request of his former pitching coach Rick Peterson. However, new pitching coach Dan Warthen has since allowed <mask> to work his curveball back into his pitching repertoire. On August 25, 2008, <mask> pitched his second consecutive complete game win, the first Met to do so since Bret Saberhagen did it in 1995. He allowed only six hits with one earned run while striking out six and walking none.At times, <mask> wears a mouthpiece while he pitches. Suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder after being hit by a ball in college, he can be seen chewing on it between pitches. In early 2008, after beginning the season with some good and some bad performances, <mask> stopped using the mouthpiece. <mask> then went on to pitch dominantly in June, July, and August. This led fans and announcer and former Mets pitcher Ron Darling to say that perhaps <mask> was pitching better in part because he had stopped using the mouthpiece, which may have been a distraction. 2009–2012

On May 17, he became the first Mets pitcher since Al Leiter to balk three times in a game. During the 2009–2010 offseason, <mask> worked with Warthen on utilizing secondary pitches, resulting in <mask> beginning to throw a curveball and splitter. In a 6 hours and 53 minutes, 20-inning game against the Cardinals, <mask> was utilized as a relief pitcher in the 20th inning. <mask> earned his first career save in the major leagues before Francisco Rodriguez got a win for the season, and Joe Mather (Cardinal's third baseman/outfielder) got the loss. His 2010 season was his best year to date.He had a spectacular first half posting a 10-1 record. His second half was much more average posting a 5-8 record. His final stats were 15 wins and 9 losses, a 3.66 ERA, with 113 strike outs and 204 innings pitched. On June 18, 2011, <mask> pitched a complete-game gem against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He allowed one run, five hits, and struck out five. He threw a season high 123 pitches, second highest of his career. <mask> was nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award.Overall, 2011 was a disappointing season for <mask>, seeing him go 7–13 with a 4.74 ERA.

On April 26, it was announced that <mask> required Tommy John surgery on his elbow, ending his season. He had exited his previous start with stiffness in the elbow.

Minnesota Twins

On December 20, 2012, the Minnesota Twins announced they had signed <mask> to a one-year, $4 million contract.As the Twins had retired number 34 in honor of the late Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett, <mask> was assigned number 37. In 2013, <mask> had his worst season in his 8 years in the Majors, finishing 5–13 for the Twins. He pitched in 29 games following his 2012 Tommy John surgery, his ERA finished at 5.19 in his first full year in the American League. On December 14, 2013, <mask> signed a deal with the Minnesota Twins for two years and $11 million, with the potential to earn up to $3.5 million in performance bonuses. <mask> made five starts in 2014 before being shut down for the season with groin, elbow, and shoulder injuries. <mask>'s 2015 season was more successful, as he posted a 4.26 ERA, his best since 2010. He still only managed a 6–11 record in 30 starts.He had the highest WHIP among major league pitchers (1.48). Detroit Tigers
On December 6, 2015, <mask> signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Detroit Tigers. <mask> spent some of the 2016 season on the Disabled List due to a lower back ailment, limiting him to 24 games (22 starts). In a mostly ineffective season, he compiled a 4–10 record and 5.07 ERA in 119 innings pitched. <mask> was released by the Tigers on March 30, 2017. Chicago White Sox
On April 5, 2017, the White Sox signed <mask> to a minor league deal, assigning him to the Triple-A Charlotte. On April 22, 2017, the White Sox purchased his contract from Charlotte as he replaced the injured James Shields.He made his White Sox debut on the same day against the Cleveland Indians. In 2017 he was 3-12 with a 5.93 ERA. Batters stole 26 bases against him, tied for tops in the major leagues, while being caught three times. Pitching style

 pitches, as tracked in 2013 by the PITCHf/x system, were a sinker at 93 mph, a four-seam fastball at 93 mph, a slider at 87 mph, a splitter at 86 mph, and a curveball at 76 mph. His sinker is his primary pitch, although he also likes to use his four-seamer early in the count against right-handed hitters. He tends to use his splitter more against left-handed hitters and his slider more against righties. Pelfrey has among the lowest strikeout-to-walk ratios in the major leagues since 2000, at 1.75.Coaching career
On March 6, 2018, <mask> retired from professional baseball and accepted a coaching position at Newman University. In 2019, <mask> became the pitching coach at Wichita State University. Following Todd Butler's firing, new Wichita State head coach Eric Wedge retained <mask> as pitching coach. Personal life

<mask> was one of the victims of the $8 billion fraud perpetrated by wealth manager Allen Stanford. <mask> estimated that 99% of his assets were frozen after the fraud was revealed. <mask> is known for his peculiar habit of licking his hands over the course of the game, <mask> has said there is a purpose behind the habit and he generally uses it to get a better grip on the ball. The Wall Street Journal counted one start of <mask>'s and found he did this action 89 times over the course of a game.References

<mask> (24 July 1861 – 16 October 1933) was a cultured French operatic baritone. He enjoyed an international reputation for the superlative quality of his singing and the brilliance of his acting. Early years

<mask> was born in Bordeaux, as <mask>. He studied for a year at the Paris Conservatoire, and then at the Brussels Conservatoire under Joseph Cornelis and Henri Warnots. He made his début at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, Brussels, in 1883 and remained with that company until 1890, singing in the premières of Ernest Reyer's Sigurd in 1884 and in his Salammbô in 1890, opposite Rose Caron in both. He would re-appear at the Monnaie also in the period 1908-14. In October 1890 he joined the Opéra-Comique, making his debut as Karnak in Lalo's Le roi d'Ys, and also singing title roles in Don Giovanni and Der fliegende Holländer and Scarpia in Tosca.The following year he moved to the Opéra, making his debut as Nelusko in Meyerbeer's L'Africaine. He continued to appear at the Opéra regularly until 1914.

International career

<mask>'s London début occurred during the Diamond Jubilee Gala at Covent Garden in June 1897. He sang in the Second Act of Tannhäuser with Emma Eames and Ernest van Dyck and in the Fourth Act of Les Huguenots with Albert Alvarez and Pol Plançon. Further performances at Covent Garden in 1897 included Don Giovanni with Ada Adini, Zélie de Lussan, and Marcel Journet. <mask> performed regularly in London until 1904 and made occasional appearances thereafter. Casts for these performances were often extraordinary: Carmen with Emma Calvé, Emma Eames, and Albert Saléza; Don Giovanni with Lilli Lehmann, Lillian Nordica or Emmy Destinn, Suzanne Adams, Zélie de Lussan and Edouard de Reszke; Manon with Mary Garden; Rigoletto with Nellie Melba or Selma Kurz, Enrico Caruso, and Marcel Journet. <mask> toured extensively, appearing at Saint Petersburg, Berlin, Monte Carlo, where he

 sang in the premières of Massenet's Le jongleur de Notre-Dame (1902) and Chérubin (1905).In 1902 he sang Méphistophélès in Raoul Gunsbourg's staging of Berlioz' La damnation de Faust, both in Monte Carlo and at La Scala with Toscanini conducting. <mask> in New York

<mask>, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera, signed a contract with <mask>, but various conflicts prevented the baritone from making his début at New York's premier opera house before the turn of the century. When Heinrich Conried succeeded Grau, he reneged on the contract with <mask>. The artist sued and won a substantial settlement. In 1906, Oscar Hammerstein I signed <mask> for the Manhattan Opera House, at the urging of Nellie Melba, who loved his striking good looks and elegant Jean de Reszke-like persona. It is ironic then that <mask>'s greatest triumphs at the Manhattan company would be associated with Mary Garden, a lady not known for her interest in male pulchritude. <mask>'s debut there was in a memorable December 1906 Rigoletto with Melba and Alessandro Bonci as the duke.Then in November 1907 Mary Garden made her debut at the Manhattan in Massenet's Thaïs, with <mask> as Athanaël. W. J. Henderson wrote that "His Athanaël has never been rivaled. No one else succeeded in creating the same impression of intensity." <mask>'s greatest parts at the Manhattan included Don Giovanni, Scarpia, Germont, Hérode in Hérodiade, and the three villains in The Tales of Hoffmann. After Hammerstein was bought out in 1910, <mask> joined the Met, making his debut as Rigoletto on 25 November opposite Melba and Florencio Constantino. He sang with the company for two seasons, making his final appearance in March 1912 as Valentin in Gounod's Faust. Later years

<mask> occasionally performed with the Boston and Chicago-Philadelphia companies during his final years in America.On 21 November 1910, he appeared as Scarpia with Carmen

 Melis, later Renata Tebaldi's teacher, prompting the Boston critic Horatio Parker to write, "...this was as vivid and racking a performance of Tosca since it first came to the stage!" In his final London performances in 1911 at Hammerstein's London Opera House he sang in Hérodiade, Rigoletto, Tales of Hoffmann and Nouguès' Quo Vadis. During the Great War, <mask> gave concerts for the troops and was wounded at the front when he and others in a trench took an artillery hit. He was left an invalid. After the War he was awarded the Légion d'honneur by the French government. In April 1919, after appearing at a Paris Opéra gala, <mask> finally retired. He appeared in a silent film in 1920.He died in Paris. Records
<mask> made 52 extant records, 45 of them for The Gramophone Company (the forerunner of EMI) and seven for Pathé. Issued between 1901 and 1908, many of them duplicate (or even triplicate) the same favourite pieces, meaning that he actually recorded only 16 arias and five songs. As the duplications were issued, earlier versions were deleted, so that some of these items are now, over 100 years later, exquisitely rare. With one exception, everything is sung in French. There are no duets or ensembles. Regrettably, arias from many of his most celebrated operatic roles were not committed to disc; but what he did record is sufficient to demonstrate his greatness as a singer and interpretive artist.Reissues on modern format

 mustache that completed the picture of virile magnetism. He was a fine figure of a singer, a convincing actor on stage, praised by all the most exacting critics on two continents. He was very much a baryton-noble in the tradition of such legendary Paris Opéra singers as Jean-Baptiste Faure (painted so masterfully by Degas) and Jean Lassalle. His voice was a luxury item of great beauty and almost ideal richness and weight for any rôle in the French operatic repertory.To Italian and German parts he brought an elegance and nobility nurtured in the school of dramatic declamation of the Académie nationale de musique, related to that of the Comédie Française and the whole historic conception of tragic and heroic performance in French literary theater. He was also a first-rate bel canto master, utterly accomplished in matters of vocal production and breathing. This combination of declamatory and vocal command gave his singing a unique authority and brilliance. It can be stated with confidence that very, very few artists have stood on his level. As the noted New York critic Henry Krehbiel wrote: "Where <mask> sits, there is the head of the table." References

Borkar's researches were mainly in the fields of Stochastic control, Learning control theory and random processes and he is known to have introduced a  new convex analytical paradigm based upon occupation measures. His work is reported to have assisted in bettering the understanding of Stochastic control issues and elucidated adaptive control schemes with regard to asymptotic optimality.He has worked on Distributed computation, Multiple timescales, Approximation and learning algorithms, Multiagent problems and Small noise limits and developed a protocol which used conditional version of importance sampling for the estimation of Markov chain averages; the scheme was later confirmed by a team of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His researches have been documented in several peer-reviewed articles; and Google Scholar, an online article repository of scientific articles has listed 373 of them. Besides, he has published 5 books viz. Optimal control of diffusion processes, Probability Theory: An Advanced Course, Stochastic Approximation: A Dynamical Systems Viewpoint, Hamiltonian Cycle Problem and Markov Chains and Ergodic Control of Diffusion Processes. He has also contributed chapters to several books edited by others and has delivered a number of invited or keynote addresses including the address on Control and Optimization at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Madrid in August 2006 and the Lecture on Probability and Stochastic Processes XI organized by Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi in November 2016. <mask> has been associated with several science journals as an editor or a member of their editorial boards which included SIAM Journal of Control and Optimization, Systems and Control Letters, Journal of Indian Institute of Science, Sadhana; Proceedings of Indian Academy of Sciences (Engineering Science), Applicationes Mathematicae of Polish Academy of Sciences and Indian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics.

<mask><mask> (born 1939) is a Canadian-born American writer, best known for her novels about lesbian police detective Kate Delafield. Her books have won and been finalists for Lambda Literary Award twelve times, as well as other awards. She has been referred to by some "a founding mother of lesbian fiction writing." Personal life
<mask> was born in 1939 in Windsor, Ontario. She currently lives with her wife, Jo Hercus, in Palm Springs, California. Career
<mask> is best known for her nine novels about Kate Delafield, the first lesbian police detective in the American lesbian mystery genre and is described as "Miss Marple with k.d. lang, Sherlock Holmes with Candace Gingrich, and you've got Kate Delafield: ex-Marine, homicide detective for the LAPD, queer-as-the-day-is-long heroine."The second novel in the series, Murder at the Nightwood Bar, was optioned for film by director Tim Hunter. The screenplay had been written and roles cast with Mary-Louise Parker as Delafield and Tom Arnold as her police partner, but the project was ultimately shelved. Her romance Curious Wine is considered a classic of American lesbian literature. In discussion of the "light" element of the lesbian romance <mask> said, "I think it's political as hell... Here were two women who had a lot of choices in life, a lot of options, and out of all of those options they chose the hardest one, which was to love each other." The novel is credited as one that "broke through many misconceptions about lesbians and lesbian relationships." Of her personal political sensibilities, <mask> said, "We are the only subculture that incorporates both genders, all races, all

texts: colors, all creeds...Being visible can make us free...and give us a power we have never known." After relocating from Los Angeles to San Francisco, near The Castro district, she said, "It would be impossible to live here and not be political." This was a marked departure from her early life, of which she wrote, "Even after I committed the Big Sin and made that irrevocable passage, and even though I thereafter found women who loved me, and even though I had loving relationships, I remained essentially in the grip of all the early shame and my own powerful homophobia." Her work is also noted for unprecedented eroticism and display of lesbian sexuality. <mask> noted that classic mysteries such as Agatha Christie might not even contain a hug. "Sexuality is a part of life and it's something that readers are interested in as far as characters... Love scenes are unparalleled opportunities to characterize a major character and bring out aspects of them that you can't in normal everyday scenes." <mask> had a ten-year tenure as fiction editor at Naiad Press.She founded and currently serves as Supervising Editor at Spinsters Ink, as well as serving as the editor at large at Bella Books. She has also written science fiction novels and edited numerous anthologies of gay and lesbian interest. As an editor, she worked with hundreds of writers, including Jane Rule and Lee Lynch, who wrote of <mask>'s fiction, "Her stories embrace and strengthen us, and give us permission to live our lives fully just as we are."

<mask>  (1883–1970) was a Scottish architect, antiquarian and archaeologist. He was the first Inspector of Ancient Monuments for Scotland, and was responsible for a series of popular guidebooks to monuments in public care. Early life and education
J.S. (Jamie<mask> was born in Edinburgh on 2 November 1883 to Dr <mask> of North Berwick and his wife Christina Thomson. The family moved to North Berwick in 1887, where <mask> attended first the Abbey School and then North Berwick High School. <mask> developed an early interest in archaeology in which he was encouraged by his father – both near to home and on foreign holidays. <mask> was articled to the Edinburgh architect <mask> from 1899–1903, and during this time studied at the School of Applied Art (now part of the Edinburgh College of Art).In 1902 he produced his first publication, co-authored with his father, Prehistoric remains near Gulllane. In 1903 he joined the office of Robert Lorimer as an assistant, and in 1906 he travelled south to study English church woodwork with Aymer Vallance. Professional life and war-time service
<mask> set up his own practise in Edinburgh in 1909. His first notable work was in North Berwick, the angel screen of the south apse of St Baldred Episcopal Church (1909). He was then responsible for the restoration of the ruined church of St Moluag, Teampall Mholuaidh, at Eoropie on the Isle of Lewis. In 1912 he was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland and in March 1914 was appointed inspector of Ancient Monuments in Scotland, this being at the time a part-time position. On the outbreak of war, the practise closed, and

He did not forget archaeology during this period, and sent some late-Celtic pottery, found in the trenches in France, to the National Museum in Scotland. <mask>'s architectural practise resumed in 1919, and the next year John Ross McKay, became a partner. McKay had studied at the School of Applied Art at the same time as <mask>, and had also worked in Lorimer's office. <mask>'s position as Inspector of Ancient Monuments became full-time in 1920, and in 1922 he became a part-time lecturer in the Edinburgh College of Art, which had assimilated the School of Applied Art. This left him little time for architectural work, and while <mask> remained a partner, and was able to attract clients through his official position, McKay did most of the practical work. Post-war work by the practice included the North Berwick War Memorial (1920) and the restoration of a fountain in Linlithgow Palace .<mask> and McKay came into conflict with their old boss, Lorimer, over the latter's proposed design for the Scottish National War Memorial. <mask>, as secretary of the Ancient Monuments Board, opposed the design, and was able to defeat the scheme partly by erecting a canvas mock-up of the memorial. Lorimer thought the mock-up gave no idea of what the final work would look like, and described <mask> as an "irresponsible devil". During the next two decades, he travelled throughout Scotland, inspecting and

 cataloguing ancient remains, and in many cases making arrangements to take privately owned monuments into public care - in all over 90. Monuments included cairns and stone circles; churches; grave slabs; castles; a water-mill; and wall paintings. Monuments were stabilised and in many cases cleared and laid out for public viewing, and guide-books published for many of the sites (see below). As well as preserving and presenting ancient monuments, <mask> planned and designed the Museum in the Commendator's House at Melrose Abbey.<mask>  was also involved in scheduling ancient monuments, enabling the protection of sites that were not in public ownership

<mask> carried out a number of archaeological excavations, both of monuments in public care and of other sites. In North Berwick, he discovered many mediaeval floor tiles in a tile-kiln associated with the Cistercian Nunnery. In 1932 he excavated a cairn near Kalemouth, Roxburghshire. This was not published until 1951. Other investigations included The Broch of Gurness and at Jarlshof, Shetland. <mask> withdrew from architectural practice in 1942, gave up teaching at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1946, and retired from his position as Inspector of Ancient Monuments in 1948. He continued to be involved in archeological and antiquarian activities.He gave a series of lectures on The Mediaeval stone carver in Scotland (not published until 1964), was involved in the establishment of the Burgh Museum in North Berwick (opened in 1957) and was often consulted on restorations, in particular by the Queen Mother regarding the Castle of Mey and the garden at Pitmmedden for the

title: Charles Gerhardt (conductor)

texts:
<mask> (February 6, 1927 – February 22, 1999) was an American conductor, record producer, and arranger. Early years
Gerhardt grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he studied the piano at age five and composition at age nine. He studied music and engineering at several colleges including the University of Illinois, the University of Southern California, and the College of William & Mary. He also studied piano privately and at the Juilliard School. His formal education was interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the Navy in the Aleutians as a chaplain's assistant. RCA Victor
For a time, he was a clerk at the Record Hunter on Lexington Avenue in New York City. Between 1951 and 1955 he worked on the technical side of RCA Victor records.At first, this role consisted of transferring 78 rpm recordings of Enrico Caruso and Artur Schnabel to tape, including removing surface noise  preparatory to LP reissue. He also assisted at sessions for Kirsten Flagstad, Vladimir Horowitz, William Kapell, Wanda Landowska, and Zinka Milanov. In 1954, he worked with Leopold Stokowski and the NBC Symphony Orchestra on the experimental stereophonic recordings of ballet suites from Gian Carlo Menotti's Sebastian and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, which were not commercially released in stereo until 1978. He also became RCA's liaison with Arturo Toscanini, in the conductor's last years. It was Toscanini who encouraged him to study conducting. For five years Gerhardt worked at Westminster Records in New York. With Westminster struggling (the company filed for bankruptcy in December 1959), he switched to recording pop singers including Eddie Fisher.His great opportunity as a producer came with a call from George R. Marek, the head of RCA Victor's Red Seal department, offering an opportunity to produce recordings for Reader's Digest in England. Record

 producer
In 1960, he began to produce records for RCA Victor and Reader's Digest. His partner was the legendary recording engineer Kenneth Wilkinson of Decca Records (then RCA's affiliate in Europe). This was the beginning of a partnership that lasted through 4,000 sessions. Their first major project was a 12-LP set for Reader's Digest Recordings: A Festival of Light Classical Music, issued in both monaural and stereophonic versions. Over two million copies of this set were sold in a few years. In 1961, he produced the Reader's Digest set of Beethoven symphonies with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by René Leibowitz.One of Gerhardt's favorite productions was the 1964 release Treasury of Great Music, another 12-LP set for Reader's Digest. This featured the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by such eminent figures as Sir John Barbirolli, Sir Malcolm Sargent, Antal Doráti, Jascha Horenstein, Rudolf Kempe, Josef Krips, <mask>, Georges Prêtre, and Fritz Reiner. This was followed in 1966 by the album set All-Time Broadway Hit Parade, which included 120 songs from various musical productions such as Carousel, The Music Man, Guys and Dolls, My Fair Lady, Pal Joey, South Pacific and many more. The songs found on this collection were not recorded by the original artists. Many of the Reader's Digest recordings were later reissued on LP by Quintessence Records and Chesky Records; a few have been reissued on CD. Conductor
The Reader's Digest projects created so much recording work that there was need for another orchestra and conductor in London. Together with violinist and orchestral contractor Sidney Sax, Gerhardt formed an orchestra of top London orchestral and freelance musicians in 1964 for use in his recording sessions.He began to record this group in January 1964. The orchestra was incorporated as the National Philharmonic Orchestra
