In 2006, <mask> joined MEWF's one-time rival Maryland Championship Wrestling, which had reopened that same year, serving as the promotion's senior referee. After being appointed by MCW Commissioner Jim Christian, he officiated a number of important events including Jason Static defeating Norman Smiley for the vacant MCW Rage Television Championship in November 2006. A year later <mask> appeared at MCW's "Monster Mash" supercard on November 14, 2007, as the manager of The Headliners (Jimmy Jannetty & Ramblin Rich) which saw the team defeat The Best of Both Worlds (Doyle Day & Buck Chyld). At that year's "Holiday Homecoming", The Headliners attacked Ryan McBride & Teddy Stigma prior to their match against then MCW Tag Team Champions The Ghetto Mafia (2-Dope and Sydeswype) and took their place in the match. They were unable to win the championship, however, and all three men attacked special guest referee (and MEWF alumnus) Earl the Pearl who <mask> blamed for the loss.The Headliners were then scheduled to face McBride and Stigma, with Earl the Pearl in their corner, at the 2008 MCW Anniversary Show in Dundalk, Maryland, on February 24, 2008. The winners were also to receive a title shot at the MCW Tag Team Champions. Recent years (2009–)

title: Louise of Great Britain

texts:
<mask> of Great Britain (originally Louisa; 18 December 1724 – 19 December 1751) was Queen of Denmark and Norway from 1746 until her death, as the first wife of King Frederick V. She was the youngest surviving daughter of King George II of Great Britain and Caroline of Ansbach. The marriage between <mask> and Frederick V of Denmark was arranged solely for political reasons (King George's ministers wanted Danish support in disputes with Prussia). Louisa, who encouraged performances by actors and musicians, was a popular figure at the Danish court even though she never exerted significant influence over her husband's decision-making. Early years
Princess <mask> was born as the fifth daughter and youngest child of the then Prince and Princess of Wales, on 7 December 1724, at Leicester House, London. She was baptised "Louisa" there on 22 December. Her godparents were her elder sister and two cousins: Princess Amelia of Great Britain, Princess Louisa Ulrika of Prussia (for whom Sarah Lennox, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox, stood proxy), and Frederick, Prince Royal of Prussia, later <mask> (for whom Henry de Nassau d'Auverquerque, 1st Earl of Grantham, stood proxy). On 11 June 1727, when <mask> was two years old, her grandfather, George I, died, and her father ascended the throne as George II.On 30 August, as a child of the sovereign, <mask> was granted use of the arms of the realm, differenced by a label argent of three points, each bearing torteaux gules. Crown princess
In a dynastic marriage, <mask> wed Prince Frederick of Denmark and Norway on 11 December 1743 in Copenhagen. A first ceremony was conducted on 10 November 1743 in Hanover with her brother, the Duke of Cumberland, as the

The Lord Chamberlain ordered the provision of supplies for the Princess, including  "sets of royal bedding, portmanteaus, a travelling tea equipage, and items for Mrs. Dives and the "Fubbs" yacht: all to an estimate of £503". After this, the entourages of <mask> and Frederick met at Altona, Holstein, where <mask> exchanged her English retinue for a Danish one, headed by her new chamberlain Carl Juel and her head lady-in-waiting Christiane Henriette <mask>. <mask> and Frederick then travelled together to Copenhagen, where they held their official entry into the capital, followed by a second ceremony with the groom present. The marriage was proposed by Great Britain.At the time of the marriage, both France and Great Britain wished to make an alliance with Denmark, and Great Britain had the advantage of being able to make a marriage alliance. Frederick's father, King Christian VI, hoped the marriage would lead to British support for his or his son's claim to the throne of Sweden. On a more personal level, there were hopes that marriage would suppress the frequent drinking and debauched behaviour of the Crown Prince. The couple had five children, one of whom did not survive infancy. Although the marriage was arranged, the couple got along quite well, and at least during the first years, their relationship was apparently happy to begin with. Although Frederick came to feel high regard for her and always treated her with kindness, he reportedly was not in love with her and continued to have affairs after their marriage. However Frederick was comfortable with her, and <mask> pretended not to notice his adultery with multiple partners, notably with Else Hansen.She quickly

 made herself popular in the Danish court, and her father-in-law remarked that she seemed to him to be kind and agreeable. Queenship
When her husband ascended the throne, on 6 August 1746, as Frederick V, <mask> became Queen of Denmark and Queen of Norway. Queen <mask> was very popular in Denmark, and the great popularity of the royal couple has been attributed to <mask>. Interested in music, dance and theatre, the royal court acquired a more easy-going tone than under her strictly religious parents-in-law. <mask> had a vivacious personality, allowing her to socialise easily with others. In 1747, she arranged for the Italian opera company of Pietro Mingotti, whose members included Christoph Willibald Gluck and Giuseppe Sarti, to play at the royal court theatre, and in 1748, the French Du Londel Troupe was invited for dramatic performances. Her effort to speak the Danish language, including with her children, was much appreciated, as the royal Danish court spoke mostly German.She studied the Danish language under the court priest Erik Pontoppidan, and also hired teachers so that her children could learn to speak their country's language. She was described as well educated and good at conversation, not beautiful but very dignified and well suited to her role as queen. A Swedish diplomat stationed in Denmark described her as follows:
"She has good sense and is easy with words, friendly in tone, knows how to converse on many subjects and can speak several languages; while giving court, she seldom leaves anyone without saying something nice; she very much enjoys dance and dances well, she has a good temper and is known for her piety and excellent qualities. She finds pleasure in reading and music,

 she plays the clavichord well and teaches her daughters to sing." Queen <mask> unsuccessfully opposed the dynastic marriage between her daughter Sophia Magdalena and the heir apparent to the Swedish throne, Gustav, in 1751. She feared that her daughter would not be well treated by the queen of Sweden, Louisa Ulrika of Prussia. Louisa Ulrika was known for her anti-Danish views and for being opposed to the match, and it was known that she was the real ruler at the Swedish court.Reportedly, <mask> also disliked arranged marriages because of her own experience. Early death

While pregnant with her sixth child, Queen <mask> died due to complications from a miscarriage on 19 December 1751, a day after her 27th birthday, at Christiansborg Palace, Copenhagen, predeceasing her husband by fourteen years. She was buried at Roskilde Cathedral. Issue

<mask>  (born 30 July 1992) is a British wheelchair racer specialising in sprint distances in the T34 classification. She holds the world records for the 100 metres, 200 metres, 400 metres, 800 metres and 1500 metres in her classification and the Paralympic records at 100 metres, 200 metres, 400 metres and 800 metres. Competing for Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Paralympics, she won two gold medals. She won three further gold medals at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro. Early years
<mask> was born on 30 July 1992 in Halifax, West Yorkshire. She suffered two cardiac arrests after birth which left her with permanent damage in numerous areas of her brain, resulting in weak hips, deformed feet and legs and mobility problems and affecting the fine motor skills in her hands. Her disability means she uses a wheelchair for long distances but she does have an ability to walk short distances.Athletics career
Cockroft competes on the track as a T34 athlete. Introduction to wheelchair racing
After being turned away from sport throughout her primary education,  Cockroft competed at secondary school in swimming, seated discus and wheelchair basketball. As a result of a silver medal performance in the seated discus at the UK School Games, she attended a British Paralympic Association talent day at Loughborough University in October 2007. Here, she was given her first opportunity to try an elite racing wheelchair by Dr Ian Thompson, husband of former wheelchair racer Tanni Grey-Thompson. Thompson went on to coach her for the first year of her career. In 2008 a dance academy she attended gave the proceeds from programme sales at its annual show to help her buy her own racing chair, but when it arrived, its made-to-measure set up was incorrect, so her father, a welder, modified the wheelchair to fit.

texts:
Hendrik Emil (<mask><mask> (21 August 1882 – 11 July 1916) was a Belgian painter, sculptor and draughtsman. Wouters produced 200 paintings, drawings and sculptures in his 34 years before his illness-caused death. he died partway through the First World War on 11 July 1916 in Amsterdam. A sculptor, painter, draughtsman and etcher of typically fauvist style, Wouters' art resembled the works of artists including Henri Matisse, Paul Cézanne and André Derain- the "forefathers" of Fauvism. <mask>' art, according to Adams (2018), reflects themes of "warmth and tenderness", his paintings characterised by an array of colours and brush strokes, frequently leaving unpainted canvas to increase this effect. Often depicting his muse, his wife Hélène Philomène Lionardine Duerinckx (Nel), Wouters disregarded hidden symbolic inferences within his art in favour of a more "simplistic and genuine" style, distancing himself from mainstream artists. <mask> was educated in fine arts academies in Mechelen and Brussels, however his works usually slightly differ stylistically from other Fauvist artists.<mask> is known primarily for his sculptures and paintings including 'Lady in blue' (1914), 'Self-portrait with cigar''' (1914) and ‘Chrysanthèmes’ (1915). Early life
<mask> <mask> was born on 21 August 1882 in Mechelen. His father was a sculptor of antique furniture while his mother, a housewife, did the housework until her death in 1888. <mask> was six years old. After dropping out of school in 1894, his first encounter with sculpting was at 12 years of age in his father's workshop, wherein he produced wooden sculptures for furniture. During these years, <mask> developed a passion for sculpting and it was here that he met and worked alongside fellow sculptor from Mechelen Ernest Wijnants, with whom he remained lifelong friends, painting a portrait entitled ‘Portrait of Ernest Wijnants’ in 1912. <mask> was also interested in drawing and would draw in his free time.At 15, Wouters left his

 father's workshop in the pursuit of a career as an artist and sculptor. Education and apprenticeship
Having left the workshop, <mask> <mask> enrolled at the Academy of Mechelen in 1897. He remained a pupil for 4 years; until 1901. <mask> applied to the Academy of Brussels in 1900, but was only admitted in 1901, resulting in a relocation to the Belgian capital to begin his tutelage under Charles Van der Stappen. However, given the academic restrictions of this institution, Wouters was unable to produce any works of originality and so painted within popular methodologies, including hidden iconographical meanings- a style he would later reject. Wouters achieved high results in the Academy, ranking first in sculpture and second in historical composition. Despite his academic results during these years, Wouters' earliest works remain unknown as he burned them all at the end of each year of his apprenticeship.The earliest finished and remaining pieces of sculpture are dated 1907 and the earliest remaining paintings 1908. Edith Hoffman (1956) suggests that in these early works, although proficient in both crafts, Wouters remained "dependant on those masters he admired most", and that it wasn't until 1909 for his sculpting and 1910 for his painting that he became "completely individual". During his education in Brussels Wouters met Hélène Duerinckx, who would become his wife and muse. Hélène, four years younger than Wouters, was born in 1886. She was 16 when they first met and three years later, on 15 April 1905, they got married. Career
<mask> <mask>' The Nymph (an unfinished sculpture created during 1904 and 1905) is considered to be his "breakthrough" piece as it represented his desire to escape the restrictions of the Academy as well as the limits his own talent, although it was never finished nor sold. Following the completion of his studies, <mask> and his wife moved into a house in Watermael.However, Wouters was unable to support himself financially and so moved

texts: back in with his father in Mechelen. Again helping his father, Wouters failed to produce anything he deemed as satisfactory. He and his wife only intended to stay with his father for a short period, so he briefly worked for a porcelain manufacturer to make enough money to move to the countryside (in Boitsfort) in order to accommodate Hélène's recently contracted tuberculosis. They did this (in 1907) for clean air upon the advice of a doctor they had seen in the east side of Brussels however it also allowed Wouters an opportunity to paint freely. Initially Wouters primarily made sketches and developed his etching in the evenings. Sculpting began to occupy a larger portion of his focus over the next year and, in 1908, he modelled 12 bronze statues. Here Wouters experimented with light, unmixed colours, painting the cardboard evenly with a palette knife.He achieved three-dimensionality through colour contrasts- shadowing with darker reds, blues or greens- but rarely using drawn contours. Preferring to paint still lifes and interiors, <mask> created a "vibrant atmosphere" through the use of contrast and large strokes. This can be seen in works like 'Portrait of a woman in grey' (1905) and ‘Portrait of a young boy’ (1905). Completely free of academic rigidity, <mask> was awarded second place in the Godecharle competition for his work ‘Rêverie’ (1907) in 1907. This gave him access to a state allowance of 500 francs, allowing him to pay rent for the next two years. Despite this payment, <mask> and Hélène saved food in order to afford expensive paint. Over the next 4 years, <mask> further developed his style, using "highly sought-after plays of light and space", attracting the attention of Georges Giroux, who offered a contract with "Galerie Georges Giroux" in 1912.This contract granted Wouters the financial assistance required for him to work with his choice of materials, allowing him to produce works far more frequently. In 1912, he painted 60 canvasses, providing the

Whilst demonstrating the confidence the gallerist had in his art, it also meant that his profits were being split 50/50. Upon visiting Paris, Wouters saw the works of Cézanne, Monet, Renoir and Matisse, with whom he became increasingly appreciative of. According to Hoffman (1956), it was during this trip that he began to prioritise the "colour and light" of painting over his previous love of sculpting. He adopted a clearer and brighter palette and began to use light cloth in order to better preserve the colour tone.Additionally, Wouters started to dilute the oil paint with turpentine. He would then apply this thinly and sparsely across the canvas. Further experimentation with watercolours and the use of blank canvas began to create an effect which Julie Beckers (2017) describes as a "seemingly unfinished piece" which is used to "invite the observer to finish the strokes on his behalf". This can be seen in works such as ‘By the window, Boitsfort’ (1913). Although many enjoyed this "unfinished" aesthetic, fellow artists in particular were appreciative of his style. Over the next few years (1912–1913), <mask> produced the best works of his short career. During this period he painted and drew almost constantly, making 50 canvasses in 1912.The crazy violence, Domestic worries and De strijkster are among the most famous of his art, all produced during this period. In 1913, he won the Picard prize. Although his wife occupied the focus of the majority of his works (around 75% of his oeuvre), Wouters occasionally painted other people and places of particular interest to him. His other muses included natural scapes from his local area (such as trees in the garden or a vase of flowers on the table) or close friends (such as his friend and fellow sculptor, Ernest Wijnants). All of which were painted with the same colourful and bright

 style. Additionally, Wouters produced a number of self portraits over his painting years. Initially, these were painted in his usual method, however, as his health worsened he began to adopt a bleaker palette, reflecting his situation.Final years
Having returned to Belgium, <mask> borrowed 10,000 francs in order to buy a block of land upon which he built a house based on his own architectural designs. He and Nel moved into the new home in the spring of 1914. The First World War enveloped Belgium in 1914 and <mask> was mobilised to the front for over 6 weeks near the city of Liège. After the final fortress there fell, he fled from the Germans with his unit. He then arrived in Antwerp and was deployed in Fort Haasdonk. <mask> also got his first individual exhibition (in Giroux hall) during this year however the symptoms of his disease were beginning to manifest. He was captured and was taken to prisoner-of-war camps in Amersfoort and Zeist, but was provided with materials to paint and draw with.During this time, however, Wouters began to develop eye cancer and his health worsened. In 1915, he was released from the camp on health-related grounds and was reunited with his wife, Nel. In these years he lived with Hélène in an apartment in Amsterdam. The sombre tone of his paintings reflects his worsening health, seen in works such as Self-portrait with black eye patch (1916) and Rik with black eye dressing'' (1916). <mask> lost his eye to cancer 3 months before his death on 11 July 1916. Hélène remained in Amsterdam until 1919. She then moved backed to Belgium and remarried with a doctor.Hélène died in 1971 at 85 years of age. Paintings

<mask> (born November 29, 1954) is an American writer, editor, and activist. She is married to former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and had been described as de Blasio's "closest advisor." She chaired the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City and was appointed by her husband to lead a billion-dollar initiative called ThriveNYC. She has also published poetry and worked in politics as a speechwriter. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and spent her early years there. Her mother, Katharine Clarissa Eileen (née Edwards), was an assembly worker at an electronics factory, and her father, <mask>, was an inventory clerk at a military base. She is of Barbadian and St. Lucian descent, but traces her grandmother's last name (Quashie) to Ghana.When she was ten years old, her family moved to Longmeadow, Massachusetts, becoming only the second black family in the area. Other families in the neighborhood circulated petitions demanding they leave. During a portion of her high school years, <mask> was the only black student in her school. McCray cites her early experience with racism and bullying as part of the reason she began to write, using her poetry as an outlet for her anger. She wrote a column for her school newspaper in which she denounced classmates for their racism. <mask> enrolled at Wellesley College in 1972. While studying there, she became a member of a black feminist organization known as the Combahee River Collective.Career
After graduating from college, <mask> moved to New York City to work for Redbook. She published an essay in Essence in 1979 entitled "I Am a Lesbian". Essence later described the essay as "groundbreaking", asserting that it was

 "perhaps the first time a Black gay woman had spoken so openly and honestly about her sexuality in a Black magazine". The purpose of the essay was to "dispel the myth that there are no gay black people". Some of her poetry is included in Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology. In 1991, <mask> entered politics. She worked as a speechwriter for New York City Mayor David Dinkins.During the Clinton administration, she worked for the New York Foreign Press Center as a public affairs specialist. She also worked as a speechwriter for the New York State Comptroller Carl McCall and for New York City Comptroller Bill Thompson. In 2004, <mask> left Thompson's office to work in the private sector. She worked for five years at Maimonides Medical Center. She also worked for Citigroup in its public relations department for six months before deciding it was "not a good fit". During her husband's campaign for mayor of New York City in the 2013 election, she edited his speeches and helped interview candidates for staff positions. Involvement in de Blasio administration
When de Blasio became mayor, he hired publicist Rachel Noerdlinger to be <mask>'s chief of staff.Later in 2014, Noerdlinger resigned her post following a series of controversies surrounding her behavior and that of persons close to her. In his second month in office, de Blasio named <mask> chair of the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. Since then, the Fund has focused on mental health, immigration, and youth workforce projects. In May 2018, The New York Times reported that <mask> had last visited the offices of the Mayor's Fund in May 2017. The Times further reported that according to <mask>'s public schedule, she had spent 19.5 hours

 in 2017 on work for the Mayor's Fund; however, her spokeswoman estimated that <mask> spent 10% of her work schedule on Mayor's Fund business. ThriveNYC
In November 2015, <mask> led the launch of ThriveNYC, a plan to overhaul the city's mental health and substance abuse services. ThriveNYC promotes a shift from a traditionally more reactive model, which can strain police, prisons, hospitals, and schools, to an integrated public health approach focusing on awareness and early identification.In February 2019, Politico criticized ThriveNYC for having an "opaque budget" and "elusive metrics". In a March 2019 article on ThriveNYC, The New York Times reported: "Public health officials credit the plan for drawing attention to mental health… At the same time, some initiatives failed to get started, while others placed unrealistic demands on already strained mental health services". The Times added: "A spreadsheet of nearly 500 data points tracked by City Hall included almost none related to patient outcomes". ThriveNYC drew harsh criticism over allegations of mismanagement and accusations that it had failed to produce records of tangible results. As of March 2019, nearly $850 million in funding for McCray's mental health program was unaccounted for; furthermore, the program was on track to spend $1 billion over five years. Bronx Councilman Ritchie Torres criticized ThriveNYC, stating that there was "no evidence it’s working". Political ambitions
In March 2018, <mask> stated that she was "seriously considering" running for office in 2021 (the year that de Blasio's second and final term as New York City mayor is scheduled to end).<mask> added that she would not run for mayor of New York City.

Following an 0-for-3 performance against the Kansas City A's on May 31, 1967, <mask>'s batting average fell to a season-low .101. By season's end, he did manage to raise his average to .196, with seven home runs, and 29 RBIs. <mask> remained the Yankees' fourth outfielder throughout , before spending the entire  season with the International League Syracuse Chiefs.

When the game went into extra innings, <mask> hit a third home run in the fourteenth inning off Dave Freisleben. Between the four positions, <mask> made 416 plate appearances, and batted over .300 with 21 home runs to win the Roberto Clemente Memorial Award from the Pittsburgh sportswriters. Starting third baseman Richie Hebner signed as a free agent with the Phillies after the season, and <mask> went into Spring training  preparing to take over the position.However, shortly into Spring training, the Pirates completed an eight-player trade with the Oakland Athletics that brought Phil Garner to Pittsburgh, with the intention to shifting him from second to third base. Injuries to teammates kept <mask> in the lineup despite his not having a regular position. An injury to Willie Stargell had <mask> playing first base for most of the first half of the season. He responded by batting .305, with ten home runs, and 46 RBIs heading into the All-Star break. Despite these impressive numbers, <mask>'s name was kept off the 1977 Major League Baseball All-Star Game ballot, owing largely to his not having a regular position. Feeling snubbed, he vowed not to participate in the mid-summer classic at Yankee Stadium even if National League manager Sparky Anderson selected him as a reserve. His hot hitting continued after the break.Over the rest of the month of July, <mask> batted .367 with four home runs and

This opened up a starting job for <mask> in left field, with John Milner (acquired from the Mets in the same deal) assuming the job of fourth outfielder and backup first baseman. Though his production fell off considerably in , he was third on the Pirates in home runs (14) and RBIs (80) to Parker and Stargell in both cases. After having finished second to the Phillies in the National League East for the previous three seasons, the "We Are Family" Pirates of  engaged in a season-long battle with the Montreal Expos for the division.

texts:
 to adult, Carley taught the importance of improvisation, speech and ensemble. She admired the Orff Schulwerk, calling it "music education taking the composer’s point of view, an approach not tied to one single period or tradition [and] fostering innate musicality and building fundamentals like increased aural discrimination and muscular control".Describing her approach to applying Orff Schulwerk to North American students, <mask> wrote, "I have attempted to construct a new kind of [American] curriculum, one that keeps repeating key activities, but with a difference each time. [This means] new suggestions, new demands, new contexts, new combinations of movement, of speech, song and accompaniments, using body percussion, unpitched percussion, and one or two bar instruments – whatever seems appropriate and the class is ready to play with." <mask>'s theoretical work identified the expanded tonal possibilities within the gapped pentatonic scales typically used in Orff-Schulwerk music for children. She identified and promoted the use in classrooms of the rich heritage in North America of pentatonic folk songs, many of them in pentatonic modes not based on the tonic. Carley cited examples like "Nottamun Town" (La Pentatonic), "The Cherry-Tree Carol" (La Pentatonic, Plagal), "Pretty Saro" (So Pentatonic, Authentic) and "Shady Grove" (Re Pentatonic, Authentic). Rejecting rote learning of prepackaged performances, Carley exhorted teachers to "see to it that every child is included and challenged at an appropriate level", believing that "[m]usicality is not simply another reading skill or a laborious cultivation of various kinds of physical dexterity. It is the joy of real creative music making in the classroom".Published works

Recorder Improvisation and Technique (RIT) series
In the 1970s, <mask> published the Recorder Improvisation and Technique (RIT) books, a series of three books intended initially for use at the Orff certification courses at the University of Denver under the direction of Barbara Grenoble. She published the books through Brasstown Press, a publishing company founded by her and her husband. In writing the books, she sought to create a "more integrated approach to using the recorder as an essential part of the learning experience in the Orff classroom". The books contain lessons in playing the recorder, musical improvisation, ensemble musicianship, and speech, movement and compositional form. Each of the three books is divided into short lessons.Book One, subtitled "Beginning with the Soprano Recorder", is an introduction to the recorder and improvisation techniques. The second book, subtitled "Intermediate for Alto and Soprano Recorder" transfers familiar fingering patterns to the alto recorder and introduces hexatonic and diatonic major and minor modes, along with exercises in improvisation and technique. Book Three, subtitled "Advanced: Composing, Arranging, Analysis" expands on the previous materials and parallels the Orff Schulwerk volumes III and V, introducing major and minor modes with functional harmony, along with many historical techniques of ornamentation and improvisation such as heterophony, variation and chaconne. Book Three also explores improvisation for movement, free

 solo improvisation and various kinds of group improvisation. Before <mask>'s death in July 2011, her daughter Anne M <mask> undertook the project of producing new editions of the RIT books as well as editing selected essays into a companion book, Making It Up As You Go. Nearly half the essays are new work, previously unpublished, from Carley's handwritten manuscripts, typescripts and computer files. Grouped into three sections, Origins, Practicum and Exhortations, the book provides information and opinion from the life of an early pioneer of the Orff Approach in North America.The project, collectively, the <mask>eill Carley Orff Essentials Collection, published by Brasstown Press, was completed in fall 2011. New editions of <mask>'s Five Little Books appeared in 2013 and another collection of essays, Taking the Orff Approach to Heart, was published in 2015 as an e-book. Selected music publications

He moved on to Scottish First Division side St Johnstone in January 2006 after manager Owen Coyle released back-up goalkeeper Mark Paston.At St Johnstone he scored his only senior goal, as a desperate last-minute attempt to equalise paid off in a 2–2 draw at Ross County on 11 March.

Appointment as the Attorney General
<mask> had previously represented Chin Peng, the leader of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM), in a failed appeal to the government to allow his body to be buried in his hometown, Sitiawan. Prior to his nomination as the new attorney general, the issue was touted by detractors as one of many reasons why Malaysians should object his appointment.In spite of that, <mask> was appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as the attorney general which led to two online petitions with one in support and the other against <mask>' appointment. Subsequently, another petition was launched to urge the Agong to remove him from attorney general due to his poor command of the Malaysian language in wake of his request to the court that he be allowed to proceed in English when leading a prosecution against former Prime Minister Najib Razak. However, <mask> has said that PAS may have helped him stay as attorney general, instead of resigning the next day after his appointment in June 2018. Previously, <mask> had suggested that he could have been attorney general for just a single day, due to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's concern about the "scale and magnitude of the Malay opposition" to his appointment. <mask> reportedly said that Dr Mahathir that night changed his mind after PAS released a statement regarding the announcement earlier that day. “Apparently, a public statement issued by PAS that night that they had no objections to my appointment, especially since I had represented the PAS governments of Terengganu and Kelantan in their petroleum royalty cases against Petronas, had surprised Tun (Mahathir),” he was quoted saying in his prologue of his book.

Taking into consideration good relations between Indonesia and Malaysia, <mask> agreed to Indonesia's request for the release of Siti Aisyah, one of the two female suspects in Kim Jong-nam assassination, and allowed the passage of nolle prosequi by requesting the court to order a

 discharge not amounting to acquittal against Siti Aisyah.However, he rejected a plea by the second female suspect Doan Thi Huong to drop the murder charge against her despite a request for release from the Vietnamese government. The different treatment towards the two suspects was perceived as discriminatory practice in the Malaysian judiciary system as the court had found a prima facie case against both Siti Aisyah and Doan. Ramkarpal Singh, the Malaysian Member of Parliament for Bukit Gelugor, stated that the refusal to withdraw the murder charge against the second suspect was "mind boggling and raises questions about the powers of the Attorney General". Similar views were also expressed by the newly elected Malaysian Bar President Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor, who stated that it was unusual for two individuals to be charged with the same crime but for one person to have her charge dropped and another remained charged. In April 2019, the murder charge against Doan was dropped and replaced with a lesser charge of "voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means". Doan pleaded guilty to the alternative charge and was sentenced to three years and four months in prison. Publications
