<mask> (July 1661 – 28 June 1681) was a French noblewoman and one of the many mistresses of Louis XIV. A lady-in-waiting to his sister-in-law Elizabeth Charlotte, Princess Palatine, the Duchess of Orléans, she caught the attention of the Sun King and began an affair with him in 1679. She died two years later, most probably as a result of complications arising from childbirth. Royal mistress
<mask> was born in 1661 at the Château de Cropières in Upper Auvergne. She came from a very old aristocratic family; her father was the Comte <mask>le, and the King's Lieutenant. Her family realized that her beauty was a great asset and raised enough money to send her to court with the aim of restoring the family fortunes. <mask> arrived at the court of Louis XIV in 1678 and became maid of honor to the Duchess of Orléans.At the time Louis XIV had appeared to be losing interest in his long time established mistress Marquise <mask> and turning to the governess of their children, <mask> Maintenon. Infatuated by the beauty of the young girl, the King suddenly abandoned both women, and the stand-off between the two was suddenly eclipsed by a new passion which appeared to threaten them both equally. Despite her physical charms, <mask> was said by the court to be "as stupid as a basket." The Duchess of Orleans wrote "[she is] a stupid little creature, but she [has] a very a good heart" but described her as "lovely as an angel, from head to foot". Louis XIV, however, suddenly felt young again. He wore diamonds, ribbons and feathers, and presented her with a pearl grey carriage with eight

 horses. During a hunt in the forest of Fontainebleau, her hair clung to a branch and she appeared before the king with her hair loosely tied in a ribbon, tumbling in curls to her shoulders.The king found this rustic style delightful, and the next day many courtiers adopted the new "fontange" hairstyle, except the Marquise <mask>, who thought it was in "bad taste". Two pet bears belonging to Montespan escaped from their menagerie and managed to find, and destroy, <mask>'s apartment in Versailles. This event made both women comical at court. Soon it appeared she was pregnant, further angering Montespan, who had thought their affair was a passing fancy, easily controlled and easily disposed of. She said to the Marquise <mask>on that the king had three mistresses: herself in name, this girl in bed and Maintenon in his heart. In January 1680, <mask> gave premature birth to a stillborn boy, and was said to have been "wounded in the service of the King." In April, Louis granted her the title Duchess of Fontanges and a pension of 80,000 livres, as was his usual habit on ending love affairs.Unwell after the birth, she retired to the Abbey of Chelles. Death
In 1681, <mask> suffered a high fever and was sent to the Abbey of Port-Royal, where, according to some sources, she gave birth prematurely to a stillborn girl in March. Realising she was going to die, she asked to see the king, who,  touched by her suffering, wept while at her deathbed. Fontanges is reported to have said, "having seen tears in the eyes of my King, I can die happy". This story was deemed untrue by many at

 Versailles because according to them, the king had, in fact, already forgotten her. The duchess died on the night of 28 June 1681. She was not yet 20 years old.Louis XIV expressed the wish that there be no autopsy, however, at the request of her family, one was performed. The doctors found that her lungs were in appalling condition (with the right one in particular being full of "purulent matter") while her chest was flooded with fluid. All six doctors concurred that death was due to natural causes. Possible death by poisoning

As <mask> died during the Affair of the Poisons in France, poisoning was suspected. During interrogations, some of the accused had mentioned the name of Fontanges, and several other women of the court in connection to various schemes and plots. Marguerite Monvoisin, the daughter of sorceress La Voisin was the first to accuse accomplices of her late mother of poisoning the duchess. Monvoisin's lovers, Bertrand and Romani, were arrested in 1681 as suspects.Bertrand was accused of selling poisonous stuffs to Fontanges; while Romani was accused of delivering her gloves contaminated with poison. Françoise Filastre, a servant in the household of Fontanges was arrested, and when asked about what she knew about the duchess's death, under torture claimed that Montespan had hired her to murder Fontanges, so she could regain the love of the king. Before being executed, Filastre later recanted : "All I said is false. I did that for me to be free of pain and torment. I say all this because I do not want to kill the guilty conscience of a lie."

 rumours of poisoning abounded, dubious evidence from various unreliable witnesses who either recanted or contradicted each other meant no charges were ever laid. Aftermath
Historian Antonia Fraser suggests that <mask> died from pleuro-pneumonia induced by tuberculosis.In view of the fact that she was known to have suffered from a persistent loss of blood after her miscarriage, another doctor suggested that when she lost her baby, a fragment of the placenta lodged in her uterus. An alternative suggestion is that she was killed by a rare form of cancer, which occasionally develops after a cyst on the placenta is expelled during pregnancy. The probability is that she died from complications arising from her earlier miscarriage. At court, several courtiers wrote about the duchess's death. According to Ernest Lavisse and Bernard Noël, "Two miscarriages caused her to lose favor with the king." The Duchess of Orleans claimed that it was certain the duchess was poisoned by Madame <mask>, and suspected that the poison was administered in her milk. Despite the medical findings, rumours persisted that the Duchess of Fontanges died from poisoning.In film

Elsewhere Muslims throughout New Zealand had initiated dialogue on the urgent necessity of creating a nationwide Islamic entity to represent all their collective communal aims, interests and objectives. In April 1979 the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ) was established with <mask>’s friend and colleague from the NZMA, Mazhar Krasniqi, as the first president. Six months later in September 1979 <mask> was voted president. <mask> maintained this title until the FIANZ AGM of 6 April 1980, and was re-elected in April 1981 for two consecutive years. Under Rasheed the Federation devoted itself to the welfare of all Muslims, to efforts to educate the wider public about Islam as a faith and to the certification of Halal export meat. In May 1984 <mask> was part of a ten-man delegation  - alongside Dr Ashraf Choudhary, Mazhar Krasniqi, members of the New Zealand Meat Board and a representative of the Department of Trade and industry - to the UAE and Kuwait to resolve ongoing Halal issues.So FIANZ secured its first contract with the New Zealand Meat Producers Board in 1984 for $169,000. Today this contract generates annual income of over one million dollars. In January 1985 when the Federation sent a four-man delegation to attend the RISEAP AGM in Malaysia, <mask> was selected to participate. <mask> featured regularly in the New Zealand media and was one of the first Muslims to respond and interact proactively. In December 1980 he was first interviewed by New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation, on the Auckland regional programme “Top Half” talking about the ongoing construction of the mosque in Ponsonby. He was also interviewed three years later on television in June 1983 for an item on Ramadan

Overall <mask> featured prominently in various newspaper articles on Islam.In 1992 <mask> retired from many of this tasks owing to ill health, as well as from NZMA and FIANZ activities. He continued, hover, to participate in more modest community affairs and even furthered his own education. <mask> had strong feelings about improving Christian-Muslim relationships for instance and was a founder (and later the patron) of the Auckland-based Council of Christians and Muslims (CCM). During this time he studied with Dr Douglas Pratt at the prestigious University of Waikato and in 1996 became a Bachelor of Theology (University of Auckland). <mask> was interviewed by the New Zealand Herald for the occasion and articulated his belief that it was critical for Christians and Muslims to respect one another’s dogmas. When Dr Pratt published his prominent book “The Challenge of Islam: Encounters in Interfaith Dialogue” in 2005, he honoured <mask> by dedicating the monograph to his former student. The Federation of Islamic Associations hosted a WAMY-sponsored South Pacific Islamic Youth Da’wah Training Course at Ponsonby Mosque in April 1999.This week-long gathering was organised by <mask> and drew in over a hundred Muslim youth representing most of the South Pacific region. The Deputy Mayor of Auckland, the Reverend Dr Bruce Huckner, was the chief guest. Other interlocutors included Dr Hajji Mustapha Omari (from the Australian WAMY office) and Dr Pratt. In the 2002 Queen's Birthday and Golden Jubilee Honours, <mask> was appointed a Companion of the Queen's Service Order for community service. Death

A resolution was made to continue <mask>’s work in the creation of the Rasheed Memorial Da’wah Trust.Waikato University academic Douglas Pratt, who lectured Rasheed at Auckland University and described him as "both my student and my teacher", said he was a voice for tolerance. "His whole philosophy as a Muslim leader was to say, 'Here in this country are many religions and it behoves us to (a) be good citizens, and (b) lead our religious lives in such a way that we can be good neighbours and live in dialogue.'

Super Delfin then started to take an interest in <mask>, offering to teach him more about professional wrestling and give him further training. Despite the rest of Bad Force’s protests, <mask> accepted Delfin’s offer and eventually left the group.After Hurricane 2008, he started the rookie group Blood & Guts (B&G), recruiting Daisuke Harada, Tadasuke and eventually Atsushi Kotoge to join. In 2008, <mask> started to appear in other promotions, most notably facing and later teaming with veteran Toshiaki Kawada in Hustle. It was in Hustle that he picked up a clean singles win over former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Bob Sapp. <mask> produced his own show in December and hinted at a major announcement at Hurricane 2009. After defeating the Bodyguard, <mask> announced that he was going to start training for a career in boxing and that he would be leaving the wrestling industry effective immediately. Return to OPW (2010–2013)
After retiring from boxing, Obayashi announced his return to professional wrestling in July 2010. His in-ring return was delayed after he underwent further training and spent time to trying to build up body mass after losing a lot of weight for boxing.His official return to wrestling took place in November 2010 at Osaka Pro: <mask> Will Be Back, where he teamed with Daisuke Sekimoto to defeat Akebono and Don Fujii. Shortly after returning, <mask> re-ignited his old rivalry with the Bodyguard. The two traded wins back and forth for months, but eventually formed a tag team in early 2011 after Bodyguard was kicked out of the Joker stable, and <mask> saved him from an attack by the rest of Joker. Known collectively as the Big Guns, they would go on to hold the Osaka Pro Tag Title for a short time in early 2011.

Dame <mask>, DBE (12 November 1922 – 15 September 2014) was a British Conservative Party politician. Political career
Joining the Conservative Party in 1952, she was elected to Sevenoaks council five years later, chairing it in 1962 and 1963; she also served on the West Kent education executive. She made a strong impression among Kentish Tories, and in 1964 was shortlisted ahead of 104 applicants, almost all men, to succeed Harold Macmillan at Bromley. She missed out in the final selection, then again at Brighton Kemptown where the party was seeking — and would fail — to overturn a Labour majority of seven. After unsuccessfully fighting Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1966, <mask> was elected MP for Rochester and Chatham at the 1970 general election. Rochester and Chatham Conservatives selected her to take on the Left-wing Labour MP Anne Kerr, and in 1970 she bettered the national swing to capture the seat by 5,341 votes. Both candidates bemoaned the fact that the other could not have found a man to defeat somewhere else, and when <mask> arrived in the Commons it was women's issues that she took up.Her first success was to force the Royal Navy to scuttle a “dial a sailor” scheme for the public to befriend sailors docking away from their home port, after Navy wives complained. She joined other Tory women in trying to amend the recently liberalised divorce laws which ended the right of the “innocent party” to veto divorce after five years. Her work on the Expenditure Select Committee impressed, and in November 1972 Heath appointed her Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Agriculture with responsibility for prices, which were becoming an issue as inflation set in. <mask> served as Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, with responsibility for food, from November 1972 to February 1974 under Edward Heath, and again from September 1981 to September 1986 under Margaret Thatcher. Upon leaving the government in 1986 she was appointed a Dame

At MAFF she took through the legislation obliging food producers to put sell-by dates on their products, but spent most of her time tackling a rising tide of complaints about higher meat prices, caused by a world shortage, and explaining a 48 per cent increase in food prices in three years. When Labour's Willie Hamilton complained of being charged 5p for a banana, she told him curtly: “You could certainly do with some help with your shopping.I bought six bananas for 17p recently, and I don’t have time to shop around.” Hamilton was back next week saying he had now been charged 16½p for three bananas. In the February 1974 election called by Heath over the miners’ strike, <mask> fought a tight battle with Roger Kenward, Labour, and her majority slumped to 843. In opposition, she joined Britain's contingent in the then-nominated European Parliament. She attended only a handful of sessions before Harold Wilson called another election and Labour's Bob Bean ousted her by 2,418 votes. She was out of the Commons for Mrs Thatcher's overthrow of Heath, and as the Tories regrouped for a return to government. She won back Rochester and Chatham in 1979, by 2,688 votes. John Nott's decision to close Chatham dockyard was a blow to <mask>'s constituents, many of whom took it out on their MP.And before she could launch a campaign against the closure, Mrs Thatcher, in September 1981, gave her back her old job at MAFF. Prices were now less of an issue, so she could address concerns over quality: the conditions in which veal calves and battery hens were kept, the amount of fat in mince and water in sausages, dyes in pet food, tighter curbs on pesticides, pesticide residues on lemons that were polluting gin-and-tonics, and the unsuitability of cling film for microwave cooking. She also presided over the first raising of the Thames Barrier. At the 1983 election the Rochester and Chatham seat was abolished and <mask> was elected MP for

 the new constituency of Medway. She continued to hold the seat for the next fourteen years, being re-elected at the 1987 and 1992 general elections, until she lost it at the 1997 election to Labour's Bob Marshall-Andrews. On the death of Baroness Jeger in 2007, <mask> became the oldest living woman to have served as an MP in the United Kingdom. Mrs Thatcher dropped her in September 1986 in a cull of junior ministers, compensating her with a DBE.Dame <mask> became a leading campaigner against the high speed link across Kent to the Channel Tunnel. For a decade from 1987 she returned to Strasbourg as a delegate to the Council of Europe and Western European Union. The 1997 election brought boundary changes and a heavy national swing to Labour. Dame <mask>, her 75th birthday approaching, went down by 5,354 votes to the colourful barrister Bob Marshall-Andrews. Personal life
Born on 12 November 1922 in Lewisham, London, as <mask> Bennett, she was cared for in infancy by her grandparents. Her parents divorced when she was three and she never saw her father again. Educated at a London County Council elementary school in Brockley, Kent she went on to attend Ide Hill School in Sevenoaks but left aged 14 going into service.In 1940 aged 18 she married architect <mask> and went into wartime factory work. The couple had one daughter. Her husband <mask> and their daughter predeceased her. She died on 15 September 2014. References

<mask> (24 January 1838 – 11 February 1891), commonly referred to as D. C. F<mask>, was a South African writer, historian and linguist who published a newspaper The Portonian in Port Adelaide, South Australia, from 1871 to 1879. <mask> was born near Stellenbosch, South Africa, the sixth son of public servant <mask>, R.N. (1794–1861) and his wife <mask>, née Pigot (1804 – 26 October 1881). When quite young, his father was appointed the Colony of Natal's first Colonial Secretary after the imposition of British rule, and the family moved accordingly. The boy's formal education was sporadic, partly owing to the paucity of teaching in the new Colony, but also on account of his impulsive nature. Most of his education must have come from his mother, whom he adored: a cultured and talented woman who, among other attributes was a fine chess player, and taught her children to play at a high standard. His nomadic nature took him over much of the Colony, where he fraternised with vagrants of many races, gaining a working knowledge of a variety of languages and dialects.He was a particular admirer of the Zulu race, and his vernacular Zulu was said to be indistinguishable from that of a native speaker. He was a fine athlete, and a decent shot with a rifle, and enjoyed quoit playing, wrestling and other sports. South Australia
<mask> came to South Australia from South Africa around 1869, and soon found employment with the Customs Department at Port Adelaide. In 1870 he was nominated for the Humane Society's medal when he dived into the river fully clothed to rescue a young man who had fallen overboard from the Coonatto. The story

 that he was subsequently sacked because his tally-book was spoiled by the immersion gained credence with repetition. Moodie founded the weekly newspaper The Portonian (1871 – May 1879) as a forum for news about Port Adelaide, but much of the paper's content was devoted to criticising the Parliament, the Governor and just about any other authority figure. His racy, vigorous style of writing won for the paper a large and loyal circulation.He employed a talented cartoonist in "Cerberus" (John Eden Savill, better known as a racehorse owner), and journalist Spencer Skipper, who later, as "Hugh Kalyptus", gained fame for his satirical column "Echoes and Re-Echoes". <mask> himself was a brilliant writer and well regarded as a poet. He contributed news items from South Africa, in particular the Anglo-Zulu War early in 1879. Portonian ceased without notice in May 1879. <mask> was not one to settle down however, and publication of The Portonian in the last years became intermittent and ceased entirely in May 1879 without announcement or apology. Savill's political cartoons had almost completely disappeared; in their place were works by W. Wyburd and W. Pyndar Willis. The Portonian was printed by Webb, Vardon & Pritchard, and the artwork lithographed by the firm of Penman & Galbraith.Other satiric newspapers of the period in Adelaide were:
F. S<mask>'s The Lantern;
H. C. Evans's Quiz (became Quiz and The Lantern)
J. C. F. Johnson's Adelaide Punch
H. A. Grainger's Australian Star

Persistent rumours that <mask> had cheated by touching the bottom and so dishonestly propelling himself were rebuffed by referees who had accompanied the pair in another boat. He took offence at an article in the Williamstown Advertiser of Williamstown, Victoria on 15 May 1880 in which Queen Victoria was called an "obese, not overburdened with brains, old woman". He and Ugende took a steamer to Melbourne with the avowed intent of giving Alfred Thomas <mask>, the paper's prominent co-owner, a caning.He was convicted of assault and fined £3. Not having sufficient funds for the return passage, the pair walked back to Adelaide, taking 17 days, crossing the Ninety Mile Desert in five. The cane was sent by some sympathisers to Walsh Bros., where it was suitably mounted, and engraved:With this cane Mr. <mask>. F. Moodie thrashed A.

Genial and sociable but erratic, "Zulu" Moodie as he had been dubbed seemed to be continually in the public eye: he put himself forward as candidate for the seat of Encounter Bay, but was hissed down; he offered to lead a contingent to fight in the Transvaal, then to organise a South Australian Guerrilla Force; he wrote "Letters to the Editor" on subjects as diverse as decoding the Biblical 666 and the ban on ostrich farming. He was in the forefront in organising a Literary Society, then after being elected Secretary, claimed to have lost the minute book and resigned. Return to Africa
In 1883 he made a brief return to South Africa, then around September 1883 returned for good. Around 1889 or 1890 he founded a newspaper The South African Rambler, which may not have survived its first issue. He died at sea aboard a steamer off the island of Tenerife, perhaps en route between Cape Town and London. Bibliography

In 2018, <mask> co-founded Alpine Quantum Technologies, a quantum computing hardware company. Research
As a theoretician, <mask> has written major works on the interaction of laser light and atoms. In addition to fundamental developments in quantum optics he has succeeded in bridging quantum information and solid state physics. The model of a quantum computer, suggested by him and Ignacio Cirac in 1995, is based on the interaction of lasers with cold ions confined in an electromagnetic trap.The principles of this idea have been implemented in experiments over recent years and it is considered one of the most promising concepts for the development of a scalable quantum computer. Zoller and his researcher colleagues have also managed to link quantum physics with solid state physics. One of his suggestions has been to build a quantum simulator with cold

<mask> (8 January 1901 – 9 April 1960), was a Polish consulting engineer and industrial coding expert. He was the designer of the Brisch Classification, widely known and used in building and engineering. He became a British citizen in the 1940s. Biography
Born in Lodz, Poland, he gained an Intermediate B.Sc. (Engineering) at the Technical University of Warsaw, then a diploma in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toulouse. He returned to Warsaw, where from 1926 to 1929 he was Assistant Chief Designer at the Ursus tractor factory, and was then appointed Works Manager of Citroën's Warsaw branch. He remained there until 1932 before taking on the role of Engineer in charge of Development of National Production at the Polish State Engineering Works.By now married, in 1934 he established an engineering consultancy in Warsaw, transferring soon afterwards to Paris, where he did some work for the British Army’s armoured vehicle operations. Returning to Poland in summer 1939 to visit his family, trapped there by the German invasion, he escaped to Riga in Latvia, but Latvia was to be occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. Unable to return to Paris, <mask> was urged by the British War Office and Vickers Ltd to come to England, but that journey proved extremely difficult. Sir Stafford Cripps, then British Ambassador in Moscow, helped to arrange his land and air journey from Riga to Rangoon in British Burma. He left Riga in June 1941, scarcely a month before the German occupation, reaching Rangoon (by way of Chungking, wartime capital of China) in August 1941. Burma, in turn, was soon to be conquered by Japan, but he was able to continue his journey via Bombay in British India to Liverpool, a total of some 25,000 miles (40,000 km). Cripps’ intervention had probably saved his life.He kept a record in Polish

He arrived in England with a lung ailment, contracted in Burma, and underwent an immediate pneumonectomy, but this left him prone to infections for the rest of his life. In late 1942 he joined the Department of Tank Design of the Ministry of Supply, and worked also during the war years for the War Office school of technology. His first wife having died in the Warsaw Ghetto, he married his British nurse, Susan Rogers (1920–2018), in 1947. In the same year he founded in London a firm of consultants, E. G. Brisch and Partners. R. S<mask>, with whom he had worked at the Department of Tank Design, was to join him in 1953.This was the most fruitful period of <mask>'s life: his business activities extended to other countries in Europe and beyond. He established an American branch, first in Cleveland (1956) and later in Toledo, Ohio. The American firm had among its early clients the Owens-Illinois Glass Company, the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company, General Electric in Cleveland and the Underwood Company of New York. In 1957, <mask> moved his family from Oxshott in Surrey to settle in Toledo. Never robust following his lung surgery, he died of pneumonia in Toledo on 9 April 1960.

<mask> was a member of numerous British and American technical and management societies and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.He wrote several technical papers in his field. His great innovation was the development of a flexible machine-card inventory classification system, which was adopted by major companies in the US and Europe. His work drew some inspiration from the Universal Decimal Classification,

 used for classifying documents. The uniqueness of the idea lies in the nomination of a primary code (typically within nine main headings 00-80) attached to every ‘part’, based on its essential features (shape and dimension). A further, secondary, code (based on 81 two-digit numbers, representing concepts, which are divided, and can be used in any conjunction) is then bonded to the parent, determined by its process features (e.g. machining operation). Evolving with the advances of computing and digitisation, the system has spread roots in contemporary situations requiring complicated inventory management.The system had wide applicability. In 1955 <mask> published a paper on his classification in the newly established journal of the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux, ASLIB Proceedings. Sir Frank Francis, director and principal librarian at the British Museum, in the brief memoir that he contributed to The Times at <mask>'s death, recalled frequent discussions on "expanding the methods [Brisch] had successfully developed for industry to the classification of documents and books. In the course of these discussions he elaborated a classification for music designed to make possible precise reference to documents illustrating many different aspects of a particular subject."

<mask> (born 4 January 1955, Ashton-under-Lyne, Tameside, England) is an English singer/songwriter, musician and record producer. He has toured in bands, provided backup for well-known musicians, and written songs that have been covered by Kim Carnes, Norma Waterson and Nanci Griffith. He is featured in Hugh Gregory's 2002 book 1,000 Great Guitarists. Background
<mask> was born and raised in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England. His earliest musical influence was The Beatles in the early 1960s. It was around this time that he received his first guitar as a present from his parents, using the proceeds from the sale of his older brother's unwanted drum kit. <mask> played in a band at school but played his first professional gig with Any Trouble, the band he formed in Crewe, England with college friends around 1975.Going professional after Any Trouble signed a recording contract, <mask> has continued as a working musician. <mask> and Manx singer, Christine Collister, together formed folk-rock duo Gregson & Collister, and produced a number of CD albums. After the band's demise, <mask> went on to perform solo. In 1993, <mask> relocated from the UK to Nashville, United States. In 2003, his career suffered a hiatus of several months after he broke his arm and shoulder in a fall from a ladder. He made a full recovery and continues to record and tour extensively in countries including the UK and Japan from his new base in Houston, Texas..

<mask> cites a wide range of musical influences and tastes and has stated that his all-time favourite record is Nick Drake's Pink Moon. Career

Any Trouble

 recorded and released <mask>'s composition Yesterday's Love as an indie single in 1979 Any Trouble began to receive airplay courtesy of BBC Radio 1 DJs John Peel, Andy Peebles and others in the UK. This led to interest from major record labels including WEA, Chrysalis, EMI and Stiff. They selected Stiff "because they were our kind of people". Any Trouble released three albums on Stiff, including a live album, initially for promotion only, and a further two on EMI America; all were well-received critically, and were accompanied by singles and extensive touring. Despite featuring regularly on radio playlists Any Trouble's popularity wasn't reflected in record sales, and they disbanded in 1984. They re-formed briefly in 2007 to record a new album Life in Reverse, released again through the re-constituted Stiff Records in the UK, playing a headline gig to support it at the Jazz Cafe, London, England. In November 2013, the band re-formed for a one-off gig at the 229 Club, London, England, in support of the release of the three-CD set The Complete Stiff Recordings 1980–1981

In 2014, they recorded Present Tense, playing a short tour in December 2014, which included Band on the Wall, Manchester, England on 2 December 2014. plus dates in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Birmingham, England, the 229 Club, London, England, and the Purple Weekend Festival, in León, Spain.Richard Thompson Band
While working with Any Trouble, <mask> was introduced to Richard Thompson at the wedding of John Wood, who had produced Any Trouble's debut album and worked on a number of records with Thompson. The meeting led to <mask>'s singing backing vocals on the Richard and Linda Thompson album Shoot Out the Lights. This was to be the start of a long association with Richard Thompson during which they recorded and toured together extensively. <mask>

 introduced Christine Collister to Thompson, resulting in her also joining the Richard Thompson Band. Gregson & Collister
In 1984, shortly after the release of Any Trouble's fifth album Wrong End of the Race, <mask> saw vocalist Christine Collister perform at Poynton Folk Club, Cheshire, England. After the demise of Any Trouble, <mask> recorded a solo album (Strange Persuasions) and invited Collister to sing on it. Shortly after this, Richard Thompson asked <mask> to sing on his album Across a Crowded Room; at <mask>'s suggestion, Collister was enlisted for vocal duties, leading to her joining the Richard Thompson Band.The <mask> and Collister musical partnership proved popular and productive, producing five albums and earning them the attribution "the state of the art in British folk-rock" by Rolling Stone. Their albums, whose songs were all written by <mask>, included the low-fi live duo record Home and Away (recorded on a four-track Portastudio cassette recorder), Mischief, featuring a band including Martin Hughes from Any Trouble, A Change in the Weather, and covers album Love Is a Strange Hotel. By 1992, <mask> and Collister went separate ways after recording a fifth and final album The Last Word; the supporting tour proved to be their most successful. A CD compilation celebrating <mask>'s and Collister's career, The Best of <mask> & Christine Collister, was released by Gregson & Collister Recordings through Gott Discs in 2006. Solo again
Demand for <mask>'s services as a record producer and session musician grew throughout the 1990s. He released Welcome to the Workhouse, his second solo project, in 1990, and by October 1992, was performing as a solo artist. As of January 2015, <mask> had released on CD 10 solo albums and one solo Best of collection plus two digital-only releases: the original recordings for his I Love

<mask> or <mask> (circa 1700, Antwerp - 1769, York) was a Flemish sculptor and ivory carver. It is possible he should be identified with the ivory carver signing his works with the monogram G. VDR. He is only known for his work created during his stay in England where he was an assistant in the workshop of the prominent Flemish sculptor John Michael Rysbrack. He is known for his portrait busts and portrait medals carved in ivory. Life
Details about his life are scarce. He was likely born in Antwerp as he is known to have had sisters who lived in Antwerp and was recorded first in Antwerp. The year of his birth is not known but it is likely it was some time around 1700 as he was registered as a pupil in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in the guild year 1711–1712.In the Guild records his name is spelled Gaspaer Verhaghen and <mask> Verhagen and it is noted that he is studying sculpture ('belthouwen' or 'beltsnyden') with <mask> Papenhoven. His master was a prominent sculptor and architect in Antwerp. <mask> <mask> may have continued to work in the workshop of <mask>en after his apprenticeship ended as he was never registered as a master in the Antwerp Guild. He left Flanders for England probably around 1730. If he is to be identified with the monogrammist G. VDR, he is recorded in England from 1734. He became closely linked with John Michael Rysbrack, another Flemish sculptor from Antwerp who was working in London and was at the time the leading portrait and monument sculptor in

texts: England. He was recorded in London in 1744 when the Daily Advertiser carried a notice about "Mess.Claessens and Ven <mask>, at Mr. Rysbrack's in Vere Street, near Oxford Chapel". Claessens was Rysbrack's foreman and died on 4 December 1749. The Mr. Claessens referred to in the notice was likely the Peeter (Peter) Claessens who was registered as a pupil of Joannes (Jan) Veremans in the records of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in the guild year 1711–1712, the same year in which <mask> <mask> was registered as a pupil in the Guild records. Claessens had moved to London probably before 1743 and became one of the foremen at Rysbrack's workshop, a position he held until his death on 4 December 1749. Notices placed by <mask> <mask> and Claessens in the Daily Advertiser in 1743 and 1744 invited the public to subscribe for copies cast in plaster of three statuettes of 17th century Flemish artists Rubens, <mask> Dyck and François Duquesnoy. These plasters were to be cast after the original terracottas by Rysbrack which were in the collection of the painter <mask> Aken, another Flemish resident in London. In 1747, the English diarist George Vertue noted that "Mr <mask> <mask>.Sculptor works for Mr Rysbrack. has done several heads portraits in Ivory.—very well. but not meeting with propper encouragement did not continue". Vertue's notes show that he held <mask> <mask> in high regard. <mask> <mask> continued to reside with his master on Vere Street, Oxford Road until 1766. Four of his

 works were sold at the Rysbrack collection auction organized by Langford on 1 February 1767. One of the auctioned works was a Sacrifice to Hercules, which is likely the work which was auctioned by Christie's on 13 June 2002 and is now in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art.The work was based on a terracotta model by Rysbrack, which in turn was inspired by a relief on the Arch of Constantine in Rome. <mask> <mask> left the workshop of Rysbrack and moved to York in 1766. He seems to have spent his final years in poverty as in 1768 he appealed to the Society of Artists for support. He received four guineas from the Society. He died in York in 1769. As he was a lifelong bachelor, his sisters Isabella and Catherine (Harman), both living in Antwerp, administered his estate. They organized a sale of his works on 17 April 1771.The catalogue of the sale referred to <mask> <mask> as the 'principal assistant to the late Mr. Rysbrack,' and listed for sale 'several fine heads and figures in ivory, basso relievos in marble, books of prints, &c'. Work
<mask> <mask> was a sculptor in marble as well as an ivory carver. Most of his known work is attributed to him based on stylistic grounds as they are mostly unsigned. Some art historians have attributed small ivory portraits monogrammed 'VDHN', 'VAM', 'GVD', 'GVR' and 'G VDR' to <mask> <mask>. In the past some of his works have been erroneously attributed to an <mask> <mask>. A majority of his oeuvre is constituted by oval portrait

 reliefs carved in ivory. The sitters are usually portrayed as busts in profile, or presented in three-quarter view.These small-scale works were mostly carved after full-size busts made by Rysbrack and occasionally other artists such as Louis-François Roubiliac, an important competitor of Rysbrack. The ivory reliefs represent contemporary personalities as well as British Worthies, such as Newton, Milton, Shakespeare and Locke. In his time, ivory works were often displayed in cabinets, but also served as portable mementos, that people could keep with them when they travelled. Examples are the two almost identical relief portraits of Sir Isaac Newton, one of which is in the Walters Arts Gallery, Baltimore and the other in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. There are two more versions, one in the Royal Society and the other in Kings College Library, Cambridge. The basis for the Newton portrait is probably the so-called Conduit marble bust of Newton and the terracotta bust in the Wren library, Trinity College, Cambridge of 1739, both created by Rysbrack. His small bust of the Duke of Cumberland (Victoria and Albert Museum, London) is a very secure, detailed and textured work made after a marble sculpture by Rybrack.It was made by <mask> <mask> around 1767. It is likely the ivory bust exhibited at the Free Society of Artists in 1767. References

<mask> (April 13, 1929 – November 5, 1996) was an American attorney who rose to become an Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court from July 22, 1981, to August 31, 1991. Biography
Broussard was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the son of Clemire and <mask>. At the age of sixteen, he moved with his family to California, where his father was a longshoreman, and his mother worked as a seamstress. His parents were of Creole ancestry. As a young man, Broussard held various part-time jobs, including selling shoes and working in a canning plant. He financed his own education, first at San Francisco City College, then the University of California at Berkeley, and the Boalt Hall School of Law at Berkeley. At Boalt, he was vice-president of the Boalt Hall Law Students Association and a contributor to the California Law Review.After graduating in 1953, he served in the United States Army for two years. After completing Basic Army Administration school as a clerk typist, he became a Chaplain's assistant in Germany, where he served for 19 months. After leaving the Army, he became the research attorney for Raymond E. Peters, Presiding Justice of the California Court of Appeal, First District, Division One. In 1959, Broussard entered private practice with Wilson, Metoyer & Sweeny. Broussard was one of a group of influential African American leaders in East Bay politics, including Norvel Smith, and state Court of Appeal Justice Clinton White. He was part of a coterie that used to meet at the pharmacy of William Byron Rumford, along with Lionel Wilson. In 1972, Broussard was the first African American to be elected President of the California Judges Association.He also became Chairman of the Board of the Center for Judicial Education and Research. After retiring from the judiciary, Broussard served on the Oakland Port Commission, which involved visiting ports around the world, especially Asia. In 1987, he led a group of 72 lawyers, port officials including: port

 commissioner Carole Ward <mask>, and city officials on a 3-week long trip to China meeting the Mayor of Shanghai, Jiang Zemin. Shanghai is a "twin city" of San Francisco. Judicial career
Broussard was one of the first African-Americans to become a judge in California. In 1964, California Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown appointed Broussard as a judge of the Municipal Court for the Oakland-Piedmont (later Oakland-Piedmont-Emeryville) Judicial District. His record caught the attention of Democratic Governor Jerry Brown, who, in 1975, appointed Broussard as a judge of the Superior Court of Alameda County.He went on to serve as Presiding Judge of the Superior Court. In 1981 Governor Jerry Brown elevated Broussard to the California Supreme Court, where he served as Associate Justice until 1991. His term followed Wiley Manuel, who was on the bench 1977-1981. On the court, Broussard was a leading liberal in the court's majority, along with Chief Justice Rose Bird. He wrote the majority of opinions for the court at that time. By 1982, five of the seven justices on the court were Brown appointees, who were widely criticized as allegedly soft on crime and overly political. Even though the judges had different individual philosophies, they were lumped together by conservative politicians who derisively labeled them as "Jerry's Judges" and "Rosie & The Supremes."Critics repeatedly claimed that Broussard and other Brown appointees ruled on the basis of personal opinion and political bias rather than the law and the state Constitution. In 1982, Broussard was up for election reconfirmation. A campaign was waged against him and the other Brown appointees on the ballot that year (Cruz Reynoso and Otto Kaus), something that was unprecedented in California history. Broussard was reconfirmed to a 12-year term, as expected, with 56% of the vote, but that was below the typical confirmation vote. In 1986, three of his colleagues (Bird, Cruz Reynoso, and Joseph Grodin) were

 resoundingly voted off the court, and they were replaced by conservative justices. Broussard was disturbed by this development and expressed fear that the judiciary would become politicized. On August 31, 1991, Broussard retired from the court and Governor Pete Wilson appointed Ronald M. George to the seat.Personal life
As chairman of a civic organization called Men of Tomorrow, he contacted Odessa Monroe, the program director of the radio station KSAN, seeking free air time. He went on to marry her in 1959, and they had two sons, Keith and Craig. References

texts: <mask>-<mask> (; ; 17 June 181818 October 1893), usually known as <mask>, was a French composer. He wrote twelve operas, of which the most popular has always been Faust (1859); his Roméo et Juliette (1867) also remains in the international repertory. He composed a large amount of church music, many songs, and popular short pieces including his Ave Maria (an elaboration of a Bach piece), and Funeral March of a Marionette. Born in Paris into an artistic and musical family Gounod was a student at the Conservatoire de Paris and won France's most prestigious musical prize, the Prix de Rome. His studies took him to Italy, Austria and then Prussia, where he met Felix Mendelssohn, whose advocacy of the music of Bach was an early influence on him. He was deeply religious, and after his return to Paris, he briefly considered becoming a priest. He composed prolifically, writing church music, songs, orchestral music and operas.<mask>'s career was disrupted by the Franco-Prussian War. He moved to England with his family for refuge from the Prussian advance on Paris in 1870. After peace was restored in 1871 his family returned to Paris but he remained in London, living in the house of an amateur singer, Georgina Weldon, who became the controlling figure in his life. After nearly three years he broke away from her and returned to his family in France. His absence, and the appearance of younger French composers, meant that he was no longer at the forefront of French musical life; although he remained a respected figure he was regarded as old-fashioned during his later years, and operatic success eluded him. He died at his house in Saint-Cloud,

 near Paris at the age of 75. Few of <mask>'s works remain in the regular international repertoire, but his influence on later French composers was considerable.In his music there is a strand of romantic sentiment that is continued in the operas of Jules Massenet and others; there is also a strand of classical restraint and elegance that influenced Gabriel Fauré. Claude Debussy wrote that Gounod represented the essential French sensibility of his time. Life and career

Early years

<mask> was born on 17 June 1818 in the Latin Quarter of Paris, the second son of François Louis <mask> (1758–1823) and his wife Victoire, née Lemachois (1780–1858). François was a painter and art teacher; Victoire was a talented pianist, who had given lessons in her early years. The elder son, Louis Urbain (1807–1850), became a successful architect. Shortly after <mask>'s birth François was appointed official artist to the Duc de Berry, a member of the royal family, and the Gounods' home in <mask>'s early years was at the Palace of Versailles, where they were allotted an apartment. After François's death in 1823, Victoire supported the family by returning to her old occupation as a piano teacher.The young Gounod attended a succession of schools in Paris, ending with the Lycée Saint-Louis. He was a capable scholar, excelling in Latin and Greek. His mother, the daughter of a magistrate, hoped Gounod would pursue a secure career as a lawyer, but his interests were in the arts: he was a talented painter and outstandingly musical. Early influences on him, in addition to his mother's musical instruction, were operas, seen at the Théâtre-Italien: Rossini's

 Otello and Mozart's Don Giovanni. Of a performance of the latter in 1835 he later recalled, "I sat in one long rapture from the beginning of the opera to its close". Later in the same year he heard performances of Beethoven's Pastoral and Choral symphonies, which added "fresh impulse to my musical ardour". While still at school Gounod studied music privately with Anton Reicha – who had been a friend of Beethoven and was described by a contemporary as "the greatest teacher then living" – and in 1836 he was admitted to the Conservatoire de Paris.There he studied composition with Fromental Halévy, Henri Berton, Jean Lesueur and Ferdinando Paer and piano with Pierre Zimmerman. His various teachers made only a moderate impression on Gounod's musical development, but during his time at the Conservatoire he encountered Hector Berlioz. He later said that Berlioz and his music were among the greatest emotional influences of his youth. In 1838, after Lesueur's death, some of his former students collaborated to compose a commemorative mass; the Agnus Dei was allocated to Gounod. Berlioz said of it, "The Agnus, for three solo voices with chorus, by M. <mask>, the youngest of Lesueur's pupils, is beautiful – very beautiful. Everything in it is novel and distinguished – melody, modulation, harmony. In this piece M. Gounod has given proof that we may expect everything of him".Prix de Rome
In 1839, at his third attempt, <mask> won France's most prestigious musical prize, the Prix de Rome for composition, for his cantata Fernand. In doing so he was surpassing his father: François had taken the second prize in the Prix de Rome for painting in

 Bach on the organ of the Thomaskirche. Reciprocating, Gounod played the Dies Irae from his Viennese Requiem, and was gratified when Mendelssohn said of one passage that it was worthy to be signed by Luigi Cherubini. Gounod commented, "Words like this from such a master are a true honour and one wears them with more pride than many a ribbon". Rising reputation

Gounod arrived home in Paris in May 1843.He took up a post, which his mother had helped to secure, as chapel master of the church of the Missions étrangères. For a winner of the Prix de Rome it was not a distinguished position. The organ of the church was poor, and the choir consisted of two basses, a tenor and a choirboy. To compound Gounod's difficulties, the regular congregation was hostile to his attempts to improve the music of the church. He expressed his views to a colleague:

Despite his generally affable and compliant nature Gounod remained adamant; he gradually won his parishioners over, and served for most of the five-year term he had agreed to. During this period Gounod's religious feelings became increasingly strong. He was reunited with a childhood friend, now a priest, <mask>, and for a time he himself felt drawn to holy orders.In 1847 he began to study theology and philosophy at the seminary of St Sulpice, but before long his secular side asserted itself. Doubting his capacity for celibacy, he decided not to seek ordination and continued with his career as a musician. He later recalled:

The outset of Gounod's theatrical career was greatly helped by his reacquaintance with Pauline Viardot in Paris in 1849. Viardot, then at the peak of her fame, was able to

The critics derided the libretto but praised the music and production; the work was doing well at the box-office until it fell victim to musical politics. The director of the Opéra, Nestor Roqueplan, was supplanted by his enemy, François-Louis Crosnier, who described La Nonne sanglante as "filth" and shut the production down after its eleventh performance.Operatic successes and failures
In January 1856 <mask> was appointed a knight of the Legion of Honour. In June of that year he and his wife had the first of their two children, a son Jean (1856–1935). (Their daughter Jeanne (1863–1945) was born seven years later.) In 1858 Gounod composed his next opera, Le Médecin malgré lui. With a good libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, faithful to the Molière comedy on which it is based, it gained excellent reviews, but its good reception was overshadowed for Gounod by the death of his mother the day after the premiere.<mask>, <mask>, Julien Tiersot and Theodore Baker. "Gounod's Letters", The Musical Quarterly, January 1919, pp. 48–49 At the time an initial run of 100 performances was considered a success; Le Médecin malgré lui achieved that and was revived in Paris and elsewhere during the rest of the 19th century and into the 20th.In 1893 the British Musical Times praised its "irresistible gaiety". Huebner comments that the opera does not deserve the relative neglect into which it has since fallen. With Barbier and Carré, Gounod turned from French comedy to German legend for

The piece was lavishly mounted, and the premiere was attended by the Emperor Napoleon III and the Empress Eugénie, but the reviews were damning and the run finished after fifteen performances. The composer, depressed by the failure, sought comfort in a long trip to Rome with his family. The city enchanted him as much as ever: in Huebner's words "renewed exposure to Rome's close entwining of Christianity and classical culture energized him for the travails of his career back in Paris". <mask>'s next opera was Mireille (1864), a five-act tragedy in a Provençal peasant setting. Gounod travelled to Provence to absorb the local atmosphere of the various settings of the work and to meet the author of the original story, Frédéric Mistral. Some critics have seen the piece as a forerunner of verismo opera, although one that emphasises elegance over sensationalism.The opera was not a great success at first; there were strong objections from some quarters that Gounod had given full tragic status to a mere farmer's daughter. After some revision it became popular in France, and remained in the regular opéra comique repertoire into the 20th century. In 1866 <mask> was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts and was promoted within the Legion of Honour. During the 1860s his non-operatic works included a Mass (1862), a Stabat Mater (1867), twenty shorter pieces of liturgical or other religious music, two cantatas – one religious, one secular – and a Marche pontificale for the anniversary of the coronation of Pius IX (1869), later adopted as the official anthem

 of the Vatican City. <mask>'s last opera of the 1860s was Roméo et Juliette (1867), with a libretto that follows Shakespeare's play fairly closely. The piece was a success from the outset, with box-office receipts boosted by the large number of visitors to Paris for the Exposition Universelle. Within a year of the premiere it was staged in major opera houses in continental Europe, Britain and the US.Other than Faust it remains the only Gounod opera to be frequently staged internationally.Huebner, Steven.

London
After the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Gounod moved with his family from their home in Saint-Cloud, outside Paris, first to the countryside near Dieppe and then to England. The house in Saint-Cloud was wrecked by the advancing Prussians in the build-up to the Siege of Paris. To earn a living in London, Gounod wrote music for a British publisher; in Victorian Britain there was a great demand for religious and quasi-religious drawing room ballads, and he was happy to provide them. Gounod accepted an invitation from the organising committee of the Annual International Exhibition to write a choral piece for its grand opening at the Royal Albert Hall on 1 May 1871. As a result of its favourable reception he was appointed director of the new Royal Albert Hall Choral Society, which, with Queen Victoria's approval, was subsequently renamed the Royal Choral Society."About the Royal Choral Society", Royal Choral Society.
