 she and her siblings inherited from her father José Cojuangco. Instead of land distribution, Hacienda Luisita reorganized itself into a corporation and distributed stock. As such, ownership of agricultural portions of the hacienda was transferred to the corporation, which in turn, gave its shares of stocks to farmers.Critics argued that <mask> bowed to pressure from relatives by allowing stock redistribution in lieu of land redistribution under CARP. The stock redistribution scheme was revoked in 2006, when the Department of Agrarian Reform ordered the mandatory redistribution of land to tenant-farmers of Hacienda Luisita. The Department of Agrarian Reform had looked into its revocation since 2004, when violence erupted in the hacienda over the retrenchment of workers, leaving seven people dead. Coup attempts on <mask> government

From 1986 to 1990 numerous coup attempts were enacted on the <mask> administration and the new Philippine government. Many of these attempts were conducted by the Reform the Armed Forces Movement, who attempted to establish a military government, while other attempts were conducted by loyalists to former President Marcos. Mendiola massacre and cabinet infighting

On 22 January 1987, during the era of transition government and shortly before the nationwide plebiscite to ratify the Constitution, 12 citizens were killed and 51 were injured in the Mendiola Massacre. The incident was initially a peaceful protest by agrarian workers and farmers who had marched to the historic Mendiola Street near the Malacañan Palace to demand genuine land reform.The massacre occurred when Marines fired at farmers who tried to go beyond the designated demarcation line set by the police. The massacre resulted in several resignations from <mask>'s cabinet, including Jose Diokno, head of

 the Presidential Committee on Human Rights, chairman of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), and chairman of the government panel in charge of negotiations with rebel forces resigned from his government posts. His daughter Maris said, "It was the only time we saw him near tears." In September 1987, Vice President Doy Laurel resigned as secretary of foreign affairs. In his resignation letter to <mask>, Laurel stated, "...the past years of Marcos are now beginning to look no worse than your first two years in office. And the reported controversies and scandals involving your closest relatives have become the object of our people's outrage. From 16,500 NPA regular when Marcos fell, the communists now claim an armed strength of 25,200.From city to countryside, anarchy has spread. There is anarchy within the government, anarchy within the ruling coalesced parties and anarchy in the streets." Finance Minister Jaime Ongpin, who had successfully advocated for paying external debt incurred during Marcos' administration, was dismissed by <mask> in September 1987 and later died in an apparent suicide in December 1987. His widow stated that he had been depressed due to infighting in <mask>'s cabinet and lack of significant change since the People Power Revolution. Soon after the Mendiola Massacre, the <mask> administration and Congress worked to pass significant agrarian reform, which culminated in the passage of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARP). Peace talks with Moro and communist insurgencies

President <mask> conducted peace talks with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), an armed Moro Muslim insurgency group that sought to establish an independent Moro state within Mindanao. <mask> met with MNLF leader Nur Misuari and various MNLF groups in Sulu.In 1989, the Autonomous Region

The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao lasted from 1989 to 2019, after which it was succeeded by the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). The establishment of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao was opposed by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a militant splinter group from the MNLF that sought to secede from the Philippines to establish an Islamic state in Mindanao. Peace talks with MILF began in 1997 under President Fidel Ramos and violent insurgency officially continued until 2014, when peace accords were formally signed between MILF and the administration of President Benigno <mask> that would lead to the creation of the BARMM. The establishment of the ARMM also led to the establishment of Abu Sayyaf, a terrorist group founded in 1989 by Abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani and composed of radical former members of the MNLF. Terrorist attacks by Abu Sayyaf would start in 1995 and continue to the present day, including the 2004 bombing of the MV Superferry 14 that resulted in the deaths of 116 people.Shortly after becoming president, <mask> ordered the release of hundreds of political prisoners imprisoned during the Marcos era, including communist insurgents belonging to the Communist Party of the Philippines. These releases included leaders such as Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison and New People's Army founder Bernabe Buscayno. Preliminary peace talks with the CPP ended after the Mendiola Massacre on 22 January 1987, during which at least 12 farmers were killed at a protest rally. Closing of United States military

 bases

Soon after <mask> took office, several Philippine senators declared that the presence of U.S. military forces in the Philippines was an affront to national sovereignty. The senators called for the United States military to vacate U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay and Clark Air Base, and <mask> opposed their demand. The United States objected by stating that they had leased the property and that the leases were still in effect.The United States stated that the facilities at Subic Bay were unequaled anywhere in Southeast Asia and a U.S. pullout could make all of that region of the world vulnerable to an incursion by the Soviet Union or by a resurgent Japan. Another issue with the demand was that thousands of Filipinos worked at these military facilities and they would lose their jobs if the U.S. military moved out. <mask> opposed the Senate's demand and believed that the bases should have remained. <mask> organized a protest against the pullout, which only gathered between 100,000 and 150,000 supporters, far short of the 500,000 to 1 million that had been originally expected. The matter was still being debated when Mount Pinatubo erupted in June 1991, covering the entire area with volcanic ash. Despite attempts to continue the Subic Base, <mask> finally conceded. In December 1991, the government served notice that the U.S. had to close the base by the end of 1992.Natural disasters and calamities
On 20 December 1987, the MV Doña Paz sank after a collision with the oil tanker MV Vector. The final death toll exceeded 4,300 people, and the sinking has been called the deadliest peacetime maritime disaster of the 20th century. In the aftermath, <mask> addressed the incident as "a national tragedy of harrowing proportions." The 1990 Luzon earthquake was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the

 island of Luzon. It left an estimate of 1,621 people dead and massive property damage. In 1991, a volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo, then thought to be dormant, killed around 800 people and caused widespread long-term devastation of agricultural lands in Central Luzon. Around 20,000 residents had to be evacuated and around 10,000 people were left homeless by the event.It was the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century. On 1 November 1991 Tropical Storm Thelma (also known as Typhoon Uring) caused massive flooding in Ormoc City, leaving around 5,000 dead in what was then considered to be the deadliest typhoon in Philippine history. On 8 November, <mask> declared all of Leyte a disaster area. Electrical power grid inadequacy
During <mask>'s presidency, electric blackouts became common in Manila. The city experienced 7–12 hours-long blackouts, which severely affected its businesses. By the departure of <mask> in June 1992, businesses in Manila and nearby provinces had lost nearly $800 million since the preceding March. <mask> <mask>'s decision to deactivate the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP), which was built during the Marcos administration, contributed to further electricity crises in the 1990s, as the 620 megawatts capacity of the plant would have been enough to cover the shortfall at that time.Critics of the BNPP had stated that the power plant was unsafe, and cited the millions of dollars in bribes paid to President Marcos to allow its construction. The administration had failed to provide for an adequate replacement for the plant before her term had completed, and President <mask> <mask> ended her term in 1992 with the country reeling under a severe power shortage crisis. Influence in 1992 presidential election
The 1987 Constitution limited the president to a single

As the end of her presidency drew near, close advisers and friends told <mask> that since she was not inaugurated under the 1987 Constitution, she was still eligible to seek the presidency again in the upcoming 1992 elections, the first presidential elections held under normal and peaceful circumstances since 1965. However, <mask> firmly declined the requests for her to seek reelection, citing her strong belief that the presidency was not a lifetime position. Initially, she named Ramon V. Mitra, Speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives who had been a friend of her husband, as her preferred candidate for the 1992 presidential elections. However, she later backtracked and instead supported the candidacy of General Fidel V. Ramos, who was her defense secretary and a key figure in the EDSA Revolution.Ramos had consistently stood by her government during the various coup attempts that were launched against her administration. Her sudden change of mind and withdrawal of support from Mitra drew criticism from her supporters in the liberal and social democratic sectors. Her decision also drew criticism from the Catholic Church, which questioned her support of Ramos due to his being a Protestant. General Ramos won the 1992 elections with 23.58% of the total votes in a wide-open campaign. On 30 June 1992, <mask> <mask> formally and peacefully handed over power to Fidel Ramos. On that day, Fidel V. Ramos was inaugurated as the twelfth president of the Philippines. After the inauguration, <mask> left the ceremony in a simple white Toyota Crown she had purchased, rather than the lavish government-issued Mercedes Benz in which she and Ramos had ridden on the way to the ceremonies, to make the point that she was once again an ordinary

During <mask>'s retirement and stay as a private citizen, she remained active in the Philippine political scene. <mask> would voice her dissent to government actions and policies that she deemed threats to the democratic foundations of the country. In 1997, <mask>, together with Cardinal Jaime Sin, led a rally opposing President Fidel Ramos' attempt to extend his term through his proposal to amend the 1987 Constitution's restriction on presidential term limits. Ramos' proposed charter change would fail, leaving term limits and the presidential system in place. During the 1998 Philippine presidential election, <mask> endorsed the candidacy of former police general and Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim from the Liberal Party for president. Lim would lose to Vice President Joseph Estrada, who won by a landslide. In 1999, <mask> and Cardinal Jaime Sin again worked together to oppose a second plan to amend the Constitution to remove term limits, this time under President Estrada.President Estrada stated that his plan to amend the Constitution was intended to lift provisions that 'restrict' economic activities and investments, and Estrada denied that it was an attempt to extend his stay in office. Estrada's proposed charter change would also fail. In 2000, <mask> joined the mounting calls for Estrada to resign from office, amid a series of corruption scandals, including strong allegations of bribery charges and gambling kickbacks. Estrada was impeached by the House of Representatives in November 2000 but acquitted by the Senate in December, which in January 2001 led to the Second EDSA Revolution, which ousted Estrada. During the Second EDSA Revolution, <mask> enthusiastically supported the ascendancy of Vice President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to the position of

In December 2008, <mask> <mask> publicly expressed regret for her participation in the 2001 Second EDSA Revolution, which installed Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as president. She apologized to former President Joseph Estrada for the role she played in his ouster in 2001. <mask>'s apology drew criticisms from numerous politicians.In June 2009, two months before her death, <mask> issued a public statement in which she strongly denounced and condemned the Arroyo administration's plans of amending the 1987 Constitution, calling it a "shameless abuse of power."

<mask> was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres from the Ontario Hockey League's Oshawa Generals in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft and played his first NHL season in 1982–83. He went on to play 11 seasons in Buffalo before being traded on February 2, 1993, with Daren Puppa, and a 1993 first-round pick (Kenny Jönsson) to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Grant Fuhr and a conditional 1995 fifth-round draft pick. He played for the Leafs until 1995–96 when he was traded to the New Jersey Devils, where he stayed until 1999. After New Jersey, he had short stints with the Boston Bruins (1999–2000), Colorado Avalanche (2000), and Buffalo Sabres (2000–01), before settling with the Tampa Bay Lightning (2001–02 to 2005–06).His best season offensively was in 1993–94 when, with Toronto, he posted 53 goals and 99 points. The 1993 and 1994 playoffs also saw <mask> and the Maple Leafs advance to the Conference Finals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Kings and the Vancouver Canucks, respectively. As a result of his successful stint with the team, many Maple Leafs' fans still affectionately refer to him simply as "Uncle <mask>". Andreychuk referred to the famed 1993 run in particular as particularly heartbreaking, as Toronto was eliminated in game seven negating the chance of a Toronto-Montreal Stanley Cup Final in the league's 75th anniversary season. As a member of the Boston Bruins on October 28, 1999, Andreychuk had a four-goal game versus Tampa Bay. In the 2001–02 NHL season, Andreychuk made a shocking move which would pay dividends in the long run. Rather than sign with a

 Stanley Cup contender, he signed with the lowly Tampa Bay Lightning, to which he was able to bring some much-needed veteran leadership.The Lightning again missed the playoffs that season, and Andreychuk refused trades to contenders, stating his work with the team was not finished. In 2002–03, Lightning head coach John Tortorella appointed <mask> the captain, (succeeding Vincent Lecavalier, who was stripped of the captaincy after the 2000–01 season) and <mask> promptly led the Lightning to the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons. In the 2003–04 NHL season, Andreychuk continued as a key contributor for the Lightning offence, reaching 20 goals for the third consecutive year with the team. Qualifying for the playoffs for a second consecutive year, <mask> helped the Lightning defeat the Calgary Flames in seven games to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. Andreychuk went 22 years without being on a Stanley Cup championship team, tying the NHL record with Ray Bourque for the longest career before doing so (Andreychuk had played 1597 regular-season games to that point, and only Bourque had played more career games before being on his first Stanley Cup-winning team). Following the 2004–05 NHL lockout, <mask> returned to the Lightning for the 2005–06 season. After the year off, <mask>'s contributions decreased and on January 10, 2006, he was waived by the Lightning, bringing an end to his career.Post-retirement

On October 1, 2006, Andreychuk rejoined the Lightning as a Community Representative. In 2005, the city of Hamilton renamed the Mountain Arena, following renovations, the <mask>uk Mountain Arena & Skating Centre in his honour. On November 28, 2008, he was inducted into the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame. On February 4, 2011, the Tampa Bay Lightning named Andreychuk as their Vice President in charge of fans. He currently serves as the Lightning's Vice President of Corporate & Community Affairs. Personal life

His biggest influences were Django Reinhardt's "irreverence" and John Coltrane's "reverence". <mask> and his family then moved to Brisbane, where he was "a bit lonely" and "just sat around in my room playing guitar".He formed a group with a saxophone player from music class at secondary school. Another group was OME (aka Original Music Ensemble), which was an improvisation group – most of his early playing was in musical theatre and jazz. He was also in Fabulous Dingo Family, co-founded by jazz composer David Pyle, and named after Azaria Chamberlain. In 1982 he was in Ninja Skill, a rock band, alongside <mask>, John Caskey, Rick Caskey, Stephen Marskett, and Larry Ponting. He left in 1984 and relocated to Sydney. In 1985 he played with Tango Bravo which had Tracy Bartelle, Tony Buck on drums, Dave Dwyer, Steve Harris, Mauro Rubby and John Sharp. He described the group as a "commercial pop thing" and initially he had no particular concerns about the group's direction, however "we'd gotten some deal to make a single and I just went, 'No, this shit's too much'" – he suddenly left the band.<mask>'s earliest recorded work was for Meera Atkinson, a performance poet, on her album, This Is the Planet (1987), which was produced by Rob Younger (Died Pretty, Lime Spiders, The Stems). Other session musicians included Brett Myers, Ron Peno, and Louis Tillett. By February 1987 <mask> was invited by Younger to join a reformed version of The New Christs on lead guitar. With

During 1987 <mask> also provided guitar, with Burdett on drums, for Louis Tillett's (ex-Wet Taxis) debut solo album, Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell (November). Also on the album were Penny Ikinger on guitar (Wet Taxis) and Diane Spence on saxophone (Wet Taxis & Great White Noise); and Lenny Bastiaans on bass guitar (Great White Noise).Stuart Coupe from The Canberra Times described the album as "a wonderful mixture of jazz, blues and rock'n'roll.Above all it's a spirited, passionate and diverse performance from a little known figure on the fringes of the rock'n'roll scene". <mask> also worked with Tillett in the group, Paris Green, which "covered material ranging from Mose Allison to John Coltrane, Ray Charles to Nina Simone, and on any given night there was as many as nine or ten musicians on stage". In June 1988 <mask> was the record producer for The Plunderers five-track extended play, Trust Us. As a member of New Christs, <mask> supplied guitar, piano and organ, as well as co-writing, for their debut album, Distemper (August 1989). Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described the album as "the definitive statement on the band's sound and style. It contained

However later that year the group disbanded.<mask> completed session work on Penguins on Safari's Normal Soon and Tony Buck's The Shape of Things to Come (both 1989). Also that year <mask> joined ex-Cold Chisel pianist and keyboardist, Don Walker, in a blues rock band, Catfish; which toured Australia. In 1990 <mask> teamed with Tillet again, in Louis Tillett and His Cast of Aspersions, both produced the group's album, A Cast of Aspersions (April). McFarlane noted that it was "eclectic set of material driven by Tillett's booming baritone voice and smouldering organ, <mask>'s jagged guitar lines and the swinging brass arrangements". <mask> resumed work with Catfish, he appeared on their second album, Ruby (October 1991), and toured in support of its release. Also in 1991 <mask> joined Divinyls on tour promoting their self-titled album issued January, <mask> played rhythm guitar on Divinyls Live (1991) alongside founding mainstays, Chrissy Amphlett on lead vocals and Mark McEntee on lead guitar, together with Lee Borkman on keyboards, Jerome Smith on bass guitar, and <mask> on drums.

The trio made a "vague promise to do something more" in the future. Six months later Perkins and Walker contacted <mask> again, and they formed Tex, Don and

The Canberra Times Mike Gee noted that most of the material was written Perkins and/or Walker but "that isn't to overlook <mask>' guitar work and his swampy instrumental 'Dead Dog Boogie'". McFarlane described the album as a "rootsy collection of acoustic, country-blues songs full of steel guitar and sparse piano".While fellow journalists, John O'Donnell, Toby Creswell and Craig Mathieson, listed it in their book, 100 Best Australian Albums (October 2010). They felt it contained "stories plucked from the night or passed along on back verandahs" and that "Dead Dog Boogie" was a "rambunctious, psychedelic country fair instrumental". Also in 1993 <mask>, on dobro, lapsteel, banjo and organ, joined Maurice Frawley and Working Class Ringos, a rootsy country-blues band. With Frawley on lead vocals and lead guitar, were Des Hefner (The Birthday Party, The Slaughtermen) on drums, and Shane Walsh on bass guitar. Walker described the group as "the best after-midnight band in the world". <mask> called them "the bad boys of folk" who played "the most passionate, beautiful, rollicking, cheeky, heartfelt music you could ever hear". In June 1993 <mask>, Chris Wilson, and three former members of The Triffids: David McComb, Robert McComb and Graham Lee guested on Acuff's Rose's debut studio album, Never Comin' Down.In December that year

The label promoted the album as "organic, darkly beautiful,

Organs proffer a narcotic balm, while guitars are picked with pointed economy, like the jibes of an estranged friend".At the ARIA Music Awards of 1999 it was nominated for Best Alternative Release. In 2000 <mask> appeared on Steve Prestwich's Since You've Been Gone and Conway Savage's Nothing Broken. Also that year he produced and provided guitar for Perkins' second solo album, Dark Horses and joined Tex Perkins and the Dark Horses to promote its release. Also in the line-up were Silbersher, Murray Paterson, and Scritch. In March 2005 Tex, Don and <mask> reconvened to record their second album, All is Forgiven.

<mask> is married to Kylie Greer, in 2002 the couple ran a suburban disco in Melbourne.By December 2012 the couple were running an art gallery, they reside in Arthurs Seat with their three children. Fellow musician Paul Kelly wrote and performed "<mask>'s Slide Guitar", which was released on Words and Music (May 1998). Kelly recalled seeing a Tendrils' gig when "<mask> played a strange, harsh run of notes that seemed wrong to me at first. But when I heard them a second time, a verse or two later, they lifted my head clean off my shoulders". Kelly played the track for <mask> backstage in Bendigo after a gig where <mask> and Maurice Frawley had performed as a duo and they had been followed on stage by Kelly and Spencer P. Jones, also as a duo. While Kelly played the newly written song, <mask> mistakenly believed they were "just sitting around making up lyrics and stuff ... they're taking the piss out of me, the pricks". Days later <mask> had the situation clarified and later acknowledged that he was "flattered and touched" by Kelly's tribute.In December 2005 <mask>'s cherished Fender Telecaster Deluxe electric guitar and his 1930s Dobro Kluson slide guitar – referred to in Kelly's song – were stolen. <mask> told The Ages Selma Milovanovic that "My sound on those instruments is what I'm known for. Those sort of guitars are very, very rare, they are unique. It's like having your heart ripped out. It's horrible". Some

<mask> (born March 16, 1954) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, producer, and film composer. She rose to fame alongside her older sister Ann as a guitarist and backing vocalist in the rock band Heart. Raised in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue, Washington, <mask> began playing music as a teenager. During college, she joined her sister who had recently become the singer of Heart. The first hard rock band fronted by women, Heart released numerous albums throughout the late 1970s and 1980s; the albums Dreamboat Annie (1975), and Little Queen (1977) generated chart singles such as "Magic Man", "Crazy on You", and "Barracuda". The band also had commercial success with their eighth, ninth and tenth studio albums, Heart, Bad Animals and Brigade, which were released in 1985, 1987, and 1990 respectively. Heart has sold over 35 million records.<mask> has been lauded for her guitar playing, noted for its blending elements of flamenco and classical guitar styles with hard rock. In 2016, Gibson ranked <mask> the eighth-greatest female guitarist of all time. She is also an accomplished singer in her own right, being the lead vocalist in the song "These Dreams", which became Heart's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2013, <mask> was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Heart. Early life

She was raised in Southern California and Taiwan before the family's U.S. Marine Corps father retired to the Seattle suburb of Bellevue, Washington, where they relocated when <mask> was six years old. The family lived in a Colonial home in the Lake Hills neighborhood. On February 9, 1964, <mask> and her sister Ann saw The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, a moment they each recalled as being profoundly influential: "The lightning bolt came out of the heavens and struck Ann and me the first time we saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show... There'd been so much anticipation and hype about The Beatles that it was a huge event, like the lunar landing; that was the moment Ann and I heard the call to become rock musicians. I was seven or eight at the time (sic)....Right away, we started doing air guitar shows in the living room, faking English accents, and studying all the fanzines." On August 25, 1966, The Beatles performed at the Seattle Center Coliseum, a show which <mask>, her sister Ann, and bandmates attended, another event both recalled as influential in their early lives. Although <mask> attended Sammamish High School in Bellevue, where her father was an English teacher, <mask> attended Interlake High School. After graduating from high school in 1972 and prior to joining Heart, <mask> attended Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, for one year, majoring in art and German, before transferring to Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. In late 1973, <mask> returned to Seattle, transferring to the University of Washington.

 Career

Early endeavors
Two of the <mask> sisters' friends joined them to form the <mask>s' first music group, The Viewpoints. The Viewpoints were a four-part harmony vocal group.Later that year, Ann purchased her first guitar, a Kent acoustic, with money given to her by her grandmother. <mask>'s parents soon bought <mask> a smaller guitar, but since it would not stay in tune, she began playing Ann's Kent guitar. The Viewpoints' first public show was a folk festival on Vashon Island in 1967. In <mask>'s words, "We didn't get paid, but since there were people sitting in folding chairs, we considered it a professional gig." The band played at venues such as drive-ins, auto shows, and church socials. The <mask>s' public debut as a duo took place on Mother's Day at their church. Later at a church Youth Day event, the duo performed "The Great Mandala (The Wheel of Life)" by Peter, Paul and Mary, Elvis Presley's "Crying in the Chapel", and The Doors' "When the Music's Over".The anti-war sentiment, and the irreverence for the venue in some of the lyrics, offended a number of people. By the time they finished, more than half had walked out. <mask> felt some guilt over the event, but "it lit a bonfire under us because we saw for the first time that what we did on stage could have an impact on an audience." While still a senior in high school, Ann joined a band whose drummer knew a country songwriter who needed a backing band to play on his songwriting demos; <mask> and sister Ann entered a recording studio in Seattle to record the demos. During the session, the engineer allowed them to record the song "Through Eyes and Glass", which <mask> and

 Ann had written. The engineer had his own record label, and liked their songs enough that he offered to make up 500 copies "for a few bucks". <mask> and Ann's first single appeared on the B-side of the country track titled "I'm Gonna Drink My Hurt Away".It was credited to <mask> and the Daybreaks, which was not the name of the band, and it omitted <mask> as co-songwriter. Later, the sisters were returned 250 unsold copies of the record. 1970s
During college, <mask> played solo acoustic shows at student unions, performing covers of Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon songs, as well as occasional originals. <mask>'s sister, Ann was an acquaintance of guitarist Roger Fisher and bass player Steve Fossen (of the local band The Army) when she answered their advertisement seeking a drummer and a singer. She impressed them with her vocal skills. Within an hour of meeting them, Ann joined the group, which was called Hocus Pocus. The group shortly reformed as Heart.Pressed by her sister, <mask> joined the band and relocated to West Vancouver. <mask> recalls that "some of the guys" in the band were initially resistant to her joining, and insisted she audition by sitting in periodically. She was given the assignment to work up the introduction to the Yes song "Clap" (from The Yes Album). She learned it, and the next night after playing it with the band at a tavern, was officially made a member of the band. The band had recorded a demo with Mushroom Records some time before, and producer Mike Flicker remembered them. Flicker saw <mask> as a "diamond in the rough", but was intrigued by the idea of a female rock guitarist. Mushroom Records released "Magic

texts: Man" as a single before Heart's debut album, Dreamboat Annie, had been completed.The song received airplay in and around Vancouver. Portrait Records released the band's second official studio album, Little Queen, in May 1977. The album spawned the track "Barracuda", which reached number 11 on the Billboard charts. The band's third official release, Magazine, was released pre-emptively by Mushroom the following year, and contained eight tracks, some of which had been unfinished; the band sought an injunction and Magazine was recalled after 50,000 copies had already been sold. The dispute over the record lasted nearly two years. <mask> and the group traveled to Berkeley, California, where her friend, Sue Ennis, was studying to receive a PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. Ennis became a writing partner on the group's fourth release, Dog & Butterfly, which they wrote together over the course of a single day.The album was released in October 1978, selling a million copies within the first month. It remained on the album charts for the better part of a year and went on to become a triple-platinum album. It was the band's fourth million-selling album in a row. During their tour to support Dog & Butterfly, <mask> and Fisher, who were a couple at the time, became estranged. After discovering Fisher had cheated on her, <mask> began dating Michael Derosier. This resulted in tension between the band members, ending with Fisher destroying a guitar onstage and throwing part of it at <mask> in a dressing room. In October 1979, the group voted to oust Fisher from the band; this change allowed <mask> the opportunity to play more lead

 guitar.1980s
Heart's fifth album, Bébé le Strange, was released on Valentine's Day 1980. The band's sixth album, Private Audition, was released in June 1982 and sold only 400,000 copies; it peaked at number 25 on Billboard. After their series of platinum and gold albums, this was considered a flop. However, Heart continued to do well with concert sales, and had the eighth-highest-grossing tour of the year. During this time, tensions between <mask> and drummer Derosier had increased after several breakups, and both bassist Fossen and he decided to leave the band. Over the next year, they were replaced by bassist Mark Andes and drummer Denny Carmassi. The lackluster performance of Private Audition led to increased pressure for the band's next album, Passionworks (1983).Drugs became a factor in the band's work during this time. <mask> recalls: "Everything we did in those years had a white sheen of powder over it. There were only a few people on our crew, or band, who resisted. Cocaine was sprinkled over the albums, the videos, and our lives. Cocaine stripped all the humor out of our music. The videos we made were completely without intentional comedy, but were so serious they had an almost comedic feel." After the release of Passionworks, CBS dropped the band due to lackluster sales.The self-titled Heart (1985) became the band's first number-one album. "What About Love" was released as a single ahead of the album; it became a hit, and crossed over into the pop charts. The album remained on the charts for 78 weeks and went on to be certified five-times platinum. The album had five hit singles, including "These Dreams", a single that featured

 <mask> on lead vocals. "These Dreams" had been submitted to the band after Stevie Nicks had turned it down. Though she had not written it, <mask> loved the song from the start. She had to fight to sing it because some band members thought it "did not sound like a Heart song."During the taping session, they received a letter from Sharon Hess, a 22-year-old fan who was dying of leukemia. One of her wishes was to meet <mask> and Ann, and she arrived the same day as the recording of <mask>'s vocals for "These Dreams". Sharon loved the song and <mask> dedicated it to her in the album notes. Sharon died just a few days after the final mixes were finished. "These Dreams" became Heart's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 22, 1986. The album Bad Animals (1987) was preceded by the single "Alone"; it became the band's second number-one hit, and the second-biggest single for the year. This gave them something they had not had with the Heart album: a number-one single before the tour started or the album was released."We were following on success, not building to it," <mask> recalled. The Bad Animals tour was to start in May 1987 in Europe, and all the dates were sellouts, including three dates at Wembley Arena. During the tour, Ann began to have moments of panic and stage fright. <mask> would have to step forward and play an unscheduled guitar solo, or other ploys, to buy time for Ann to compose herself. Work began on the following album, Brigade, in 1989. 1990s

Around 1990, <mask> and sister Ann were approached to play a Red Cross benefit for the troops during the Gulf War. The promoter wanted Heart to play, but most of the

The band's name, Lovemongers, emerged as a counter to war-mongering sentiment surrounding the Gulf War. Since the band lacked a drummer, Ennis programmed a rhythm track into her keyboard and they brought a cardboard cutout of Ringo Starr on stage as a joke. The group played a wrap party for Singles (1992)--a film directed by <mask>'s husband, Cameron Crowe—with a local Seattle band called Mookie Blaylock (the band was later renamed Pearl Jam). A four-song EP, which included a live version of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore" and an updated version of the Heart standard "Crazy On You", came out in late 1992. A cover of "The Battle of Evermore" also appeared on the original soundtrack for the 1992 film Singles. In October 1991, Heart released Rock the House Live!, which chronicled songs played on the Brigade tour in 1990.Grunge had taken a firm hold on music by this time, and combined with the lack of big hits the album peaked at only 107 on the Billboard charts. The album Desire Walks On was released in November 1993 and peaked on Billboard at number 48. It was far from a flop – it received gold certification in August 1995 – but also far from the multiplatinum status their string of 1980s albums had been. Heart owed Capitol records one more album. Since their Lovemongers shows had received such a positive response, they decided to record an "unplugged" album. They recruited many rock notables to contribute to the record, titled The Road Home. John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin served

In 1995, <mask> requested that Heart go on hiatus. <mask> explained that she wanted to spend more time working with husband Cameron Crowe on film scores and start a family. At the time, <mask> was 41 and undergoing fertility treatments, which were difficult to schedule around a rock tour and appearances. <mask> had played "Beautiful Girl in Car" in Crowe's Fast Times at Ridgemont High, then had a small speaking part in The Wild Life. She also contributed some guitar recordings for Crowe's 1989 film Say Anything... and the original song "All For Love".<mask> became more involved in Jerry Maguire, Crowe's new film, and decided that she would write the film score. During her hiatus from Heart, <mask> was not entirely dormant as a performer; she played the occasional Lovemongers benefit, though she noted that her fertility treatments made performing increasingly difficult. In 1996, <mask> performed her first solo acoustic show in 30 years. Kelly Curtis arranged to have a recording of that show released as an album, Live from McCabe's Guitar Shop, in 1999. The music on the album is a mix of Heart songs, covers (including songs by Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, and Paul Simon), and original new material. In November 1997, <mask> and Ann set out on a 12-date tour travelling by van on what they called the "Don't Blink" tour (joking that, "if you blinked, you missed it.") The Lovemongers released a full-length album titled Whirlygig in 1997 and a collection

For Crowe's 2000 film Almost Famous, <mask> composed the theme and produced two original songs: "Fever Dog" and "Lucky Trumble". She also helped as a technical consultant, coaching the actors on how to look and act like musicians on stage. <mask> was nominated for a Sierra Award for Best Score, a PFCS Award for Best Original Score, and an Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music. 2000s
In 2002, Heart embarked on a tour. The tour became a family affair, with four children and their nannies added to the mix of musicians, technical staff, and roadies. It was an eight-week tour and ended what had been a 10-year hiatus from touring for <mask>.The Summer of Love tour concluded in Seattle and that performance was released as the Alive in Seattle DVD, which achieved gold status without an associated album. <mask> provided the score for the films Vanilla Sky (2001) and Elizabethtown (2005). She was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Music for her work in Vanilla Sky as well as a Critics Choice Award for Best Composer for Elizabethtown. The sisters decided to record a new Heart studio album, Jupiters Darling, the first since 1993. <mask> was co-producer, along with guitarist Craig Bartock, who had just joined the band. They wrote all the songs for the album except one. To enhance the guitar parts, <mask> got friends Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam's Mike McCready to contribute.The album, released by Sovereign Records, charted on the Billboard Top

The album peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200 chart and three on the Rock Albums chart. With <mask> now aged 56, and Ann about to become a grandmother, the sisters had managed to have albums make it onto top-10 charts in four different decades.

<mask> (born 25 October 1954 in Newcastle NSW) is an Australian composer and sound artist working a range of genres, including data sonification, sound sculpture and immersive polymedia (a term he coined in 1986) as well as traditional instrumental music composition. Biography
He performs and exhibits internationally. <mask> studied musical composition at The University of Sydney with Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards, where he also studied mathematics and Western philosophy, and at The University of Adelaide with Richard Meale and Tristram Cary. <mask>'s creative practice encompasses a number of endeavours: instrumental and electroacoustic composition, sound poetry and sound installations including those that utilise PIPES (Portable Immersive Polymedia Event Spaces). sometimes referred to as Portable Event Theatres (PETs). He is a programmer in several computer languages and has developed software for music composition, text transformation and sonification. His PhD dissertation was on the development of a software framework for the sonification of information in large or high-frequency multivariate data sets, such as those from securities trading engines.<mask> was appointed to the Faculty of Music at the University of Melbourne in 1979 to teach musical composition and undertake research in computer music. In addition to composition, orchestration, twentieth-century techniques and free improvisation, in 1981, before the advent of the personal computer, he designed and taught the first undergraduate course in computer music in Australia using a mainframe computer, and MusicC (a development of CMusic) and Gary Lee Nelson's Music Programming Library (written in APL). His music from this period includes the Albert H. Maggs Award commission Images for Two Pianos and the Seymour Group commissioned Glass Games for ensemble and computer–generated tape – the first Australian work in this format. Other notable works from this period include Mixtures and re-collections and

During that time, ACAT offered the first Australian postgraduate degrees in multimedia: considered a sub-discipline of the Electronic Arts, along with electroacoustic music and computer animation.<mask>'s output from this period is dominated by electroacoustic (e.g. Harmonie du Soir), polymedia (e.g. Cords), computer animation soundtracks (e.g. En Passant Marcel Duchamp) as well as his continued interest in combining acoustic instruments with electroacoustics (e.g. Air). <mask> has been a regional editor for Organised Sound (Cambridge University Press) since 1996. Since 2000 he has worked as an academic and freelance composer, experimental artist (e.g.The Twins) and researcher with a growing interest in the human voice, both acoustic and synthetic (e.g. algorithmic poems such as  A doing resounds and the extended text-to-speech work (e.g. I am on the net through an interface different from the one which you use when you do, a homage to Alvin Lucier,) as well as the continued development of PIPES works such as the large-scale collaborative Alien Garden. He was a senior research fellow (2013–2017) in sonification in the Emerging Audio Research Group at Fraunhofer Society (the International Audio Laboratories of Fraunhofer-Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen IIS) in Erlangen, Germany, undertaking research in the application of sound in the diagnosis of sleep aponea and the sonification of large networks.

Season 7
As an engaged couple, <mask> and his fiancée Amber Brkich participated in the seventh season of The Amazing Race and came in second place. During a Roadblock challenge in Mendoza, Argentina, in the third leg of the race, contestants had to eat four pounds of meat. <mask> began the roadblock but very quickly determined he would not or could not eat that quantity. The penalty for not finishing the Roadblock was a four-hour delay. By convincing several other contestants to refuse to participate, he ensured that several contestants were on the same timetable as he and Brkich. Also in South America, <mask> pooled his money with some other racers to bribe the bus driver into letting the teams that contributed off earlier. When <mask> bribed the driver, he used none of his own money.In Botswana, during the sixth leg of the race, the couple was criticized by fellow racers, as well as host Phil Keoghan, when they drove by the car accident of another team, brothers Brian and Greg, without stopping. Their fellow competitors all checked in with the brothers prior to continuing on to the next stage of the race. In southern Africa, <mask> and Brkich saw their own photo on a magazine cover. <mask> and Brkich ultimately finished in second place behind married couple, Uchenna and Joyce.

 much speculation surrounding the final leg of the race. It has been argued that the production crew had intervened with the airport authorities and aided Uchenna and Joyce onto the same, earlier plane as <mask> and Brkich. In the "Revisiting the Race" special feature on the Season 7 DVD, <mask>, along with Uchenna and Keoghan denied these accusations.<mask> describes Uchenna running around frantically trying to get onto the flight, which the final edited version of the show does not portray. Keoghan cites the fact that the decision to re-open the door rested solely with the pilot, and that intervention by the production crew would have resulted in someone leaking such information out. Although <mask> and Brkich lost the one million dollar grand prize and "The Amazing Race 7" winners' title at the final leg of the race, they managed to place 1st in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, and 10th legs. They were also the only team to not come in last place on any legs of the race. All-Stars

A native of the Canary Islands, <mask> went to San Antonio in 1731 leading a group of settlers from the Canary Islands to populate this municipality, founded by the Spanish government under the sponsorship of King Philip V. <mask> had asserted himself as the Canarian emigrants' leader and spokesman since they left the islands. He served as alcade of San Antonio between 1731 and 1732, and again in 1735. Biography

Early life and first actions as leader of the new settlers
<mask> was born in 1676 in the city of Teguise, in Lanzarote (Canary Islands). He was the son of Antonio Goraz and Maria Perez and became a councilor of the municipality of Teguise. He lived in the village of San Bartolomé, on the same island. In 1730, the Spanish Crown decided to send ten or eleven families from the Canary Islands as emigrants to Villa de San Fernando because of a supposed threat to Spanish interests by the French in Louisiana.<mask> was the first Canarian councilor to respond, and agreed to enlist seven families of the ten more needed for the enterprise.
