title: Kornelije Stanković

texts:
<mask> (, ; 23 August 1831 in Buda16 April 1865) was Serbian composer, melographer, conductor, pianist and musical writer. He is notable for his four volumes of harmonized Serbian melodies, which were published in Vienna between 1858 and 1863 and are one of the most important foundations for later Serbian music. Biography
He was born in a bourgeois Serbian family in Tabán, a part of Buda inhabited mostly by Serbs. After the death of his parents he lived with his elder sister in Аrad, where he went to primary school and attended two years of gymnasium. Later he moved to Szeged and returned to his brother's house in Taban, in order to finish school in Pest (1849). By a generous favour of family friends, Jelena and Pavle Riđički von Skribešće, in the year 1850 his musical education started at the Conservatory in Vienna. He studied harmony and counterpoint, as well as the basic piano lessons, with a court composer and prominent organist Simon Sechter, also the professor of Anton Bruckner.Fertile musical life in Vienna and instructions from Sechter marked the most significant, but also the only part of <mask>'s schooling. He was not able to go for musical specialization to Russia with his incurable disease, tuberculosis. He died early, in his thirty-fourth, on 4/16 April 1865 in Buda. He was buried in the Serbian cemetery in Taban. After moving this cemetery, his funeral remains were conveyed to the cemetery in Buda. In 1940, Musical society "Stanković" initiated their moving to the Alley of the Greats in Novo groblje in Belgrade. Creative work

Cultural-historical background
The years of <mask>'s life and work were imbued by numerous political events.Among them were the revolution 1848, absolutistic period of von Bach's reign and Crimean War, the breakdown of Bach's regime and the abolition of the

 Voivodeship of Serbia. In Serbia this was the period of the second reign of the Serbian Prince Mihailo Obrenović. The national movement among the Serbs was established by the work on language and folk literature done by Vuk Stefanović Karadžić. Although himself not a singer, Vuk accepted the view of Jacob Grimm that lyrical folk poems should be supplemented with their music settings. <mask> <mask> found an immediate model in Vuk's work. He was inspired to start an extensive work of collecting and harmonizing Serbian folk and church melodies. Intelligentsia both in the Habsburg Monarchy and in the Principality of Serbia supported this pioneer work on establishing a national style in Serbian music.Among them were the Serbian Patriarch Josif Rajačić, Russian priest and emissary in Vienna Mikhail Fedorovich Raevsky, the Serbian Prince Mihailo Obrenović, metropolitan of Serbia Mihailo and the Montenegrin Prince Danilo I. Folk music

<mask> started his melographic work in the field of folk songs and bourgeois melodies shortly after his arrival in Vienna. After the first published harmonizations, named Serbian Folk Songs (1851, 1853, 1854), he published four more collections (1858, 1859, 1862, 1863). Among the bourgeois songs he wrote down were also the verses of famous Serbian poets (Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, Vasa Živković, Jovan Subotić, Đorđe Maletić, Aleksandar Sandić). published by Aleksandar Sandić in Ost und West. He arranged them as four-voice-choir compositions and miniatures or variations for piano (the most popular are the variations Što se bore misli moje). During 1861 and 1863 he travelled and noted down folk melodies in Serbia (Šabac, Loznica, Valjevo, Čačak, Užice, Kragujevac).<mask> dedicated his published collections of folk songs to the Montenegrin Prince Danilo I, "to Serbian ladies",

 Prince Mihailo Obrenović and to the Russian imperial emissary in Vienna, Viktor P. Balabin. Collections of piano compositions were dedicated to the princess Julija Obrenović and Jelena Riđički. Church music
The first two Liturgies written by <mask> while his studying with professor Sechter did not accord with the folk tradition of church singing. <mask> therefore went to Sremski Karlovci (1855–1857) where, under the supervision of the patriarch Rajačić, he put into notation the melodies of virtually the whole church repertoire. By harmonizing the great number of notated church melodies for four-voice choir, he left the rich inheritance to his Serbian people: three published books of the Orthodox Church Chant of the Serbian People (Vienna 1862, 1863, 1864 and Belgrade 1994, as a facsimile edition), as well as the 17 manuscript volumes with four part choral settings and five volumes with about 400 pages with traditional church chants from the Octoich, the General and special chant, Festal chants from the Menaia, the Triodion and the Pentekostarion. Contribution to the work of singing societies
Before Kornelije Stanković, the newly founded Serbian church choirs and musical societies in Austro-Hungary and the Principality of Serbia had compositions of Russian composers and less famous musicians (Gottfried von Preyer and Benedict Randhartinger from Vienna, Francesco and Giuseppe Sinico from Trieste, Weiss von Berenfels from Petrinja) on their repertoire. With the publication of <mask>'s work, new harmonizations of the Serbian chant became eligible for the singers and the conductors of the church choirs from Vienna, Trieste, Zadar, Kotor, Petrinja to Pančevo, Timișoara and Belgrade.Brief but distinctive activity of <mask> <mask> as a conductor of the First Belgrade Singing Society (1863–1864)

 particularly contributed to the affirmation of the Serbian national musical creativity. As a successor of Milan Milovuk, <mask> made a significant turn over on the repertoire by introducing new harmonized Serbian folk melodies instead of foreign songs. He founded a "preparatory choir", in order to provide extra, theoretical education to his singers. He also made a plan for founding the first music school in Belgrade. Performances
Besides from arranging and publishing, <mask> also performed his transcriptions of traditional folk and church melodies as a pianist, with his friend, the painter and excellent baritone Stevan Todorović in Vienna, Pest, Buda, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Sremski Karlovci, Sombor, Pančevo, Sremska Mitrovica, Šabac, Valjevo, Kragujevac. He also performed his own, artistic piano compositions. As a conductor, he performed with the Belgrade Singing Society, the church choir in Buda and with foreign singers in Vienna.The very special success came with two concerts of <mask>'s music in the famous Vienna concert hall (Musikverein) in 1855 and 1861. The prefaces in his firstly published collections of folk and church songs are classics about church chant in the 19th century, pearls of writings about Serbian vocal music and folk musical inheritance. Honours

<mask> was honoured to receive the Order of Saint Stanislas from the Russian tsar for his melographic and creative work. The Serbian Church Choral Society of Pančevo, "Humanitätsverein" from Zagreb and Viennese "Musikverein", "Preodnica" and other youth societies gave him the title of an honorary member. He was respected and loved by his collaborators, acquaintances, friends and students. <mask>'s devoted work on preservation and nurturing the Serbian folk creativity made an important, deep trace in the Serbian musical and cultural

 history. His name was celebrated through numerous studies and articles, by founding musical societies and other musical institutions which were named by him.On the initiative of prof. dr Danica Petrović, in 1993 in Sremski Karlovci started the work of the Summer school of church chant "In memory of Kornelije". On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of <mask>'s birth (1981), Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Institute of Musicology SASA organized a scientific assembly "<mask> <mask> and his time". Twenty years later (2006), in the organization of the Institute of Musicology SASA, Matica srpska and Academy of Arts from Novi Sad, another, international scientific assembly "Composer and his environment" was held. This time it was on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the birth of <mask> and the 150th anniversary of the birth of Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac. The collection of proceedings from the first assembly (published in 1985) is, so far, the most detailed edition about <mask>'s life and work. He is included in The 100 most prominent Serbs. Notes
1.These manuscripts are kept in the Archives of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (Historical collection, No. 7888). Extensive work on transcription and redaction of composer’s manuscripts for publishing in Collected Works of <mask> <mask> is in progress. This is the project led by prof. dr Danica Petrović, director of the Institute of Musicology SASA. References

texts:
<mask> (born October 1979) is a former trader for UBS and Citigroup who was sentenced to 14 years in prison (reduced to 11 years on appeal) for dishonestly driving manipulation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor), a bank reported interest rate, to enhance his trading results. <mask>, in the course of his defence, asserted managers were aware of his actions, and even condoned them. At trial <mask> was diagnosed with mild Asperger syndrome,

Early life
<mask> was born in West London to Nicholas and <mask>, and initially grew up in Hammersmith. He moved with his mother to Winchester after his parents divorced, where he was raised by his mother, and Timothy, his stepfather. He attended The Westgate School, and, later, Peter Symonds College. A fellow student described him as an "incredibly smart geek". After Peter Symonds, he attended the University of Nottingham, working in a restaurant kitchen during the summer holidays.He graduated with a degree in mathematics and engineering. Career and education
In 2001, after time as an intern at UBS, he joined Royal Bank of Scotland's trainee programme, at the interest rate derivatives desk. After working for Royal Bank of Scotland as a junior trader, he was headhunted by Royal Bank of Canada in 2004, and, upon moving there, he assumed greater responsibility. After two years at RBC, he moved to UBS in late 2006. <mask> was placed in the Tokyo office of UBS, where he began making trades involving the discrepancies between the Libor rate and Japanese interest rates. <mask> turned down an offer from Goldman Sachs in 2008, but in 2009, accepted an offer from Citigroup; the bank gave him a $3 million signing

 bonus. <mask> graduated with an MBA from Hult International Business School studying at the London campus.He met Jennifer Arcuri there and founded software company Title X Technology with her in 2012, using developers in Bulgaria. Manipulating LIBOR
<mask> traded derivatives at UBS and, later, Citigroup, in Tokyo. His favoured activity was basis trading, speculation on the movements in Libor expressed in multiple currencies and various durations, trades he might hedge with trades in other derivatives. The daily reporting of Libor rates by bankers around the world determined his success or failure in generating profits for his bank and bonuses for himself. By September 2008, a one basis point (1/100 of one per cent) move in Libor had about a US$750,000 effect on his bottom line. Through a network of his broker contacts, including one at the world's largest inter-dealer broker, ICAP, he succeeded in having Libor reported lower than its true level in order to drive his profits and personal bonuses higher. In less than 9 months, in 2010, <mask> was fired by Citi for his Libor activities.In its letter dismissing the 35-year-old former trader, the bank wrote: “Citigroup has uncovered that you attempted to manipulate the Yen Libor and [the Tokyo equivalent] Tibor rates in order to benefit your trading position,” which it said was a clear breach of its code of conduct, “resulting in the possibility of serious regulatory actions”.After being fired, he moved back to England, where he day traded with his Citi bonus. Arrest and trial
On December 11, 2012, <mask> was arrested by British authorities for his involvement in manipulating Libor rates, and on

In order to avoid extradition to and subsequent trial by and imprisonment in the U.S., <mask> initially cooperated with the Serious Fraud Office, providing eighty hours of interviews so as to be charged by the United Kingdom. After being charged, <mask> withdrew his offer of cooperation, intending instead to fight the charges levied by the SFO. In response, the SFO narrowed the scope of their charges, so leaving less overlap between charges by American and British prosecutors, creating the possibility of a second trial in the United States. <mask> was diagnosed with a mild version Asperger syndrome before his trial and was accompanied by a court-appointed aide during the trial. Throughout the trial, prosecutors used <mask>' SFO interviews to establish his greed and corruption.The defence attempted to illustrate that manipulation of Libor was both widespread and expected as part of <mask>' job description, with senior management aware of the tactic. Conviction
In August 2015, <mask> was sentenced to fourteen years in prison, to serve a minimum half of this sentence before being considered for early release. The judge, Jeremy Cooke, indicated he wished to "send a signal" to traders involved in illegal trading, as the sentence was significantly harsher than those given to other individuals convicted of financial crimes, such as Nick Leeson. <mask> maintained his innocence through the trial process, notwithstanding having stated during SFO interviews,

“Well look, I mean, it’s a dishonest scheme, isn’t it? And I was part of the dishonest scheme, so obviously I was being

<mask> (whose first name is often reported as Michael) is a former Catholic priest of the Diocese of Ferns in County Wexford from 1967 to 2005. Early years at Maynooth
After a promising academic start he was promoted rapidly and served for a time as Dean of St Peter's Diocesan College in Wexford. In 1977 he was appointed to a senior lectureship in Dogmatic Theology at St Patrick's College, Maynooth under the College President, Dr Tomás Ó Fiaich. He remained at Maynooth for the next 16 years and advanced quickly up the ladder of offices, serving a term as Dean of the Faculty of Theology, before being appointed to the Chair of Systematic theology and later a College Vice-President. In 1985 Dr Ó Fiaich, by then Cardinal Archbishop of Armagh and one of the trustees of Maynooth, approved his appointment to the post of President of Maynooth, which office carried an ex officio Pro-Vice-Chancellorship of the National University of Ireland and membership of the Conference of the Heads of Irish Universities. President of Maynooth

The Presidency of Maynooth was, in 1985 when <mask> was appointed to the role, a senior position within the Catholic Church in Ireland. Only 44, he proved a capable administrator at Maynooth; immediately prior to his resignation he presided over the separation of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth and St Patrick's College, Maynooth.He was regarded within the Church as a progressive and in 1988 he was seen as a serious contender for the vacant see of Dublin following the sudden death of Archbishop Kevin McNamara. His name was submitted to Rome as one of three possible candidates. There was considerable surprise following the appointment of a University College Dublin academic, Professor Desmond Connell. <mask> was then appointed a Domestic Prelate with the title of Monsignor, and served for 17 years under Pope John Paul II as a member of the International Theological Commission, a group of theologians of international standing charged with advising the Holy See on theological matters.

In 1994 as St Patrick's College, Maynooth approached its bicentenary due to be held the following year, Mgr <mask> resigned as President, six months before his term of office was to end. In 1995, the Irish National Broadcaster, RTÉ, initiated inquiries with the college authorities into an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor male.The senior management at St Patrick's College, Maynooth initially said that this had not occasioned Mgr <mask>'s departure, however in response to later revelations in the press <mask>'s successor, Monsignor Dermot Farrell, and the Episcopal Trustees of the College issued a joint statement in 2002 admitting that an allegation had been made. <mask>, they noted, had denied this strenuously but the College authorities had nevertheless commenced an investigation, and his Bishop, Dr Brendan Comiskey, had at the time informed both the Gardaí and the relevant Health Board. This process of investigation had commenced in or around 1995 but <mask>, in the interim, came to a private legal settlement with the claimant which admitted no liability and included a confidentiality clause. This, they said, frustrated the continuing inquiry. Dr <mask> remained in situ at the College for another two years after his resignation, and continued his professorship. Gerard McGinnity

In 1997 Dr <mask> and the College reached a mutual understanding for a parting of ways and he was awarded a pension top-up of £100,000. He also agreed to leave his rooms on the College campus at this time.In 2002 the Irish media reported that a former seminarian was suing Mgr <mask> over "an alleged incident" in 1994, after <mask>'s resignation. The 2005 Ferns Report noted that the ex-student later withdrew the allegation and dropped the lawsuit.

texts: 1985 were discussed in the national media in 2002. It emerged that in 1983–84 Fr Gerard McGinnity, then Senior Dean of Maynooth, complained about <mask> to seven bishops including the Bishop of Ferns, Dr Brendan Comiskey, who was championing <mask>'s appointment, Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich and Bishop Cahal Daly. The 2005 Ferns Report said that the complaints related to alleged homosexual "orientation and propensity" rather than any improper conduct. The then Bishop of Galway, Dr Eamon Casey, conducted a private investigation, and as no seminarian came forward to make a complaint, the matter was dropped. In the immediate aftermath, as McGinnity's position was deemed untenable, he was required to leave the College, and Dr <mask>'s appointment was confirmed.In response to the 2002 reports, the Bishop trustees took an opportunity to re-examine the process of appointment, and retained Denis McCullough Senior Counsel to investigate whether the complaints made against Mgr <mask> had received an adequate response. McCullough's report, published on 16 June 2005, found that, while no seminarian had complained about <mask>'s conduct to the bishops directly, McGinnity had communicated "concerns of apparent propensities rather than accusations of actual crime or specific offences" to a number of bishops. McCullough concluded that "to have rejected the senior dean's concerns so completely and so abruptly without any adequate investigation may have been too precipitate, although, of course, to investigate in any very full or substantial manner, a generic complaint regarding a person's apparent propensities would have been difficult". The Bishop's report, whilst critical, was found wanting in key respects and the matter was eventually debated in the Irish Senate in November 2005. Senator Mary Henry said: "With regard to Monsignor <mask>, I was dismayed to read the response of the bishops to whom complaints were made by six senior seminarians, as they are described in the report, as well as the senior dean of Maynooth College, Fr Gerard

 McGinnity. Cardinal Daly, one of the surviving bishops, indicated in his statement to the inquiry that it was entirely untrue that any seminarian had mentioned homosexuality to him in connection with Monsignor <mask>." Ferns Report

In 2005 the Ferns Report by a High Court Judge, Mr Justice Murphy, into the activities of certain priests of the Diocese of Ferns included various allegations made against Mgr <mask>.In connection with the accusation of sexual abuse against a minor the Inquiry was hampered by the confidentiality clause agreed between <mask> and the complainant, and the Ferns Report was unable to make any specific finding. It did, however, repeat the substance of accusations and noted that the complainant had alleged that the abuse began when he was 13 years old and lasted until he was 15. The Inquiry discovered that the Diocese of Ferns had spent substantial monies providing counselling for the complainant, and noted that Fr Walter Forde, who had investigated the allegation on behalf of the Diocese, reported to Bishop Brendan Comiskey that he found the accusation as 'capable of being true'. In response, Comiskey ordered <mask> to attend a treatment centre in the United States in 1994, but he declined and commenced proceedings against Dr Comiskey under canon law. This resulted in the diocesan investigation ceasing as the complaint was discovered to be outside the Canonical Statute of Limitations, and Bishop Comiskey declined to pursue the matter by other means at his disposal. In connection with the parallel investigation undertaken by the Maynooth authorities Mgr <mask> was initially open to a proposal waiving the confidentiality clause agreed with the complainant in the civil application, and this was also agreed to by the complainant. However Dr <mask> subsequently changed his mind as he was dissatisfied with the conduct of the sub-committee of Trustees appointed to investigate.After a lengthy investigation he was summoned to the Archbishop's House in Dublin for further questioning, and attended with a

There he informed the Sub-Committee that he felt that the procedure adopted was fundamentally flawed and unfair from the perspective of civil and canon law and he submitted his resignation as President of Maynooth. The Ferns Report, while making no comment on the substance of the allegation, was highly critical of <mask>'s behaviour and stated that "as with many other priests accused of child abuse" <mask> "attacked the process rather than facing any charges". The Committee also examined the McGinnity affair and found inconsistencies in the evidence presented to the Commission by the surviving Bishops from 1985 and the seven former seminarians. The Bishops emphatically denied that there had been any allegations known of homosexual activity, whereas the former seminarians and Fr McGinnity in evidence directly contradicted the Bishops' submission. <mask>, in his own evidence to the Commission, confirmed that Dr Comiskey had informed him that a charge of homosexuality had been made against him. At the time he had approached Cardinal Ó Fiaich, who was McGinnity's Bishop, and they had discussed the matter.He also asserted to the Inquiry that Dr McGinnity had been dismissed from his post not because of this incident, but rather due to grave concerns about indiscipline within the College during his time as senior Dean. The Inquiry also investigated a serious allegation made by one seminarian in 1994 and concluded that in this instance the complainant had proved unreliable. It was noted that the complainant had changed his statement to police and admitted that any alleged sexual activity had been consensual. The Commission also noted that <mask> had co-operated fully with the Inquiry and had given direct oral evidence, where he had consistently asserted his innocence of all charges, though he declined to discuss any issues subject to a confidentiality clause. While critical, the Inquiry was unable to make any specific finding against <mask> in regard to either the allegation of child abuse or

 the alleged harassment of seminarians. The sudden resignation of Micheál <mask> in 1994 caused controversy in Ireland, and led to considerable criticism of the way the matter was handled by the Irish Hierarchy. In 2010 the appointment of an Apostolic Visitation from the Holy See to the Irish Church was charged, amongst other things, with investigating all Irish seminaries, and St Patrick's College, Maynooth in particular.Post Maynooth career

title: Kiprijonas Nezabitauskis

texts:
<mask> (, 12 September 1779 – 10 July 1837) was a Lithuanian Roman Catholic priest and poet. He was half-brother of Kajetonas Nezabitauskis. After studies at Vilnius University and Vilnius Priest Seminary, Nezabitauskis was ordained as a priest in 1803 and worked as a parish priest in Varniai and Veliuona. After the Uprising of 1831, he fled Tsarist persecutions first to East Prussia and then to France. In 1836, he became director of a school established by Polish émigrés in Nancy, France, but died just a year and half later. In Lithuania, Nezabitauskis joined the Samogitian literary movement (an early predecessor of the Lithuanian National Revival) which supported and promoted the use of the Lithuanian language. He published a translated work on beekeeping, contributed material to a Lithuanian grammar textbook, and began working on a Lithuanian–Polish dictionary.It appears that he abandoned the dictionary after the letter K due to losing support from professor  and Count Nikolay Rumyantsev. His brother Kajetonas claimed authorship of both the dictionary and the beekeeping work. In exile, Nezabitauskis wrote a collection of 18 epic poetry works plus a modification of a ballad Birutė by . This was one of the first political and philosophical poetry works in Lithuanian. The manuscript was discovered in 1909 and first published in 1931. He also translated and published excerpts from works by Hugues Felicité Robert de Lamennais and Adam Mickiewicz that were very popular among Polish émigrés in France. Biography

In Lithuania
Nezabitauskis was born in  near Salantai, Samogitia, then part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, to a family of free peasants.Born as Zabitis, he changed his name to Polish Niezabitowski (signed in Lithuanian as Nezabitowskas) to appear to be from the Lithuanian nobility. He likely purchased baptismal records from a noble and thus his date of birth is often incorrectly recorded as 1774. From 1786 to 1792,

 to Dionizas Poška who worked on a similar dictionary.It appears that Nezabitauskis abandoned his work (he got up to the letter K) and the manuscript was lost in Warsaw during World War II. His half-brother Kajetonas <mask> in letters to professor Michał Wiszniewski and Simonas Daukantas claimed authorship of the dictionary. While this claim has been rebuked by literary historians, it is still sometimes repeated. In exile
Nezabitauskis is considered to be one of the first political and philosophical poets in Lithuanian, even if his poetry is not strong. In 1835, he prepared a collection of poetry entitled Eiliavimas liežuvyje lietuviškai-žemaitiškam (Poetry in the Tongue of Lithuanian-Samogitian). The collection, dedicated to Adam Mickiewicz, included 19 epic works, including historical descriptions, fight marches, and elegies. The only non-original work was a slightly modified version of the ballad Birutė by .The unpublished 88-page manuscript was discovered by Juozas Gabrys at the Polish Library in Paris in 1909 and was first published in 1931. The poems reflect Nezabitauskis' nostalgia for the homeland and grief for its lost independence, disappointment in world order (including some complaints to God) and a rebellious attitude calling for the liberation of Poland–Lithuania. Though undated and unsigned, researchers believe that around 1835–1836 he translated and published two small booklets with excerpts from Paroles d'un croyant (Words of a Believer) by Hugues Felicité Robert de Lamennais and Modlitwa pielgrzyma (Prayers of Pilgrimage) and Litania pielgrzymska (Litany of Pilgrimage) by Adam Mickiewicz. These works were very popular among Polish émigrés in France. He did not use the original French work by de Lamennais, but a Polish translation by . References

 School, he enrolled in Chuo University, studying English and American literature whilst also playing for the university football team.In his third year, he became a regular fixture in the squad, despite the team performing poorly, finishing last in the Kanto University League 1st Division and suffering relegation to the 2nd Division. The following year, <mask> was named club captain and led Chuō to win the 2nd Division, earning promotion back to the top league at the first time of asking. <mask> graduated from Chuō in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. Kawasaki Frontale (2003–2020)

Early years and promotion (2003–2005)

<mask>'s work as club captain at Chuō had attracted attention from J League scouts, and he was invited for a trial by Kawasaki Frontale of the Second Division shortly after graduation. He impressed and was signed to a professional contract in early 2003. He made his first appearance on the opening day of the 2003 Division 2 season against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, coming on in the 88th minute to replace Takehito Shigehara. He scored his first professional goal on April 9, the last in a 5-1 drubbing of Montedio Yamagata.In his first season, <mask> made 34 league appearances and scored four goals, as well as another two in the 2003 Emperor's Cup. After playing much of his first season as an aggressive box-to-box midfielder, manager Takashi Sekizuka began switching <mask> to the role of a playmaker in 2004, a move <mask> credited as a turning point in his career. <mask> made 41 appearances and scored 5 times as he cemented himself as a regular starter and Frontale won the league and earned promotion back to the top flight for the first time since 2000. Continuing to play as a starter, <mask>'s first season in the First Division was a modest success, making 29 appearances and scoring 2 goals as Frontale managed to safely avoid any threat of relegation with an 8th place finish. A respectable performance in the Emperor's Cup was marked by a 3-2

 victory over reigning First Division Champions Yokohama F. Marinos on December 10, 2005, with <mask> scoring the winner in the 97th minute of extra time to take Frontale to the quarter finals, where they were knocked out by eventual winners, Urawa Red Diamonds. Title contention (2006–2009)

The 2006 season was seen as a breakthrough for both <mask> and Frontale as a whole, as the team looked to expand on their 8th place finish the previous campaign. <mask> continued to hold down his starting place in central midfield, scoring 10 goals as the ambitious Frontale became serious challengers for their first ever First Division trophy.Despite falling short to Urawa Red Diamonds and finishing second, the 2006 season was seen as one of many positives for the side and considered to be <mask>'s best yet, as he scored 10 goals from midfield and was named in the J League Best XI along with teammate Hiroyuki Taniguchi, marking the first time any Frontale players had been included. The 2007 season was less successful and saw Frontale's league form take a dip, as they finished fifth and seven points behind fourth place Shimizu S-Pulse. Their league form was however contrasted by a successful Nabisco Cup run to the final, with <mask> playing in both the semi and eventual final on March 11, where they lost to Gamba Osaka. A rejuvenated Frontale bounced back to make another strong challenge for the First Division title in 2008, with <mask> once again in a pivotal role as their midfield playmaker, providing 11 assists and four goals from midfield as Frontale went head to head with Kashima Antlers in the top two spots. It would however be another year of disappointment, as they missed out on winning the league by just 3 points. By 2009, Frontale were perennial title challengers as they looked to stop Kashima Antlers from winning a historic three First Divisions in a row. In another closely contended title race, Frontale were once again narrowly beaten by the Antlers, losing

 out on the first place by just two points.<mask> enjoyed his most prolific season as a playmaker yet, providing 11 assists and 4 goals, as well as being part of the team that reached the final of the 2009 Nabisco Cup, earning a big quarter final win over Kashima on the way to the final, where they were defeated by F.C. Tokyo. Injury and international recognition (2010–2012)

By 2009, <mask> was considered as Frontale's best known and most popular player, and despite making the J League Best XI three years in a row, was widely seen as one of the most underrated players in the First Division. <mask>'s consistent performances for club and country eventually attracted attention from overseas clubs, with Dutch club PSV Eindhoven making an offer for him in late 2009; <mask> respectfully declined, citing feelings of debt toward Frontale as the club who took a chance on him and gave him the opportunity to become a professional. <mask> was injured during an AFC Champions League game against Seongnam Ilhwa on February 23, 2010, suffering a Mandibular fracture, casting doubt over his eligibility for selection in the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup; <mask> was however able to make a speedy recovery and was named in Japan's squad, but only made one substitute appearance as Japan were knocked out in the round of 16. Club captain (2012–2017)

At the start of the 2012 J1 season, <mask> was named captain of Frontale for the first time ever, and arguably enjoyed his best season to date, scoring 5 goals and leading the league in assists with 13. The following season saw him placed in a prolific three man attacking partnership with new signings Yoshito Ōkubo and Renatinho, with <mask> providing 7 goals and 8 assists as Frontale earned a return to the AFC Champions League for the first time in three years.The 2014 and 2015 seasons were less successful for both club and individual, as <mask> suffered an ankle injury which would require surgery and caused him to miss the end of

 the 2014 season. Before his absence, however, <mask> remained a highlight of the squad as he once again lead the league in assists with 14, and performed well again after his return from surgery in 2015, recording 8 more assists. The 2016 season was widely seen as the best of <mask>'s career, as he provided 10 assists and scored 9 goals whilst captaining Frontale to a second place finish in the J1, the final of the 2016 Emperor's Cup and taking them through to the J1 Championship stage, where they lost in the semi-finals to third place Kashima Antlers. Despite this, <mask>'s efforts were recognised as he was named both J League MVP and Japanese Footballer of the Year, becoming the oldest recipient of either award at the age of 36. Final successes and retirement (2017–2020)

At the beginning of the 2017 season, <mask> gave up the captain's armband, with striker Yu Kobayashi chosen as his replacement. He would however remain a pivotal part of the squad with 6 goals and 12 assists throughout the season. <mask>'s efforts were finally rewarded at the end of the 2017 season, when, after 11 years of trying and three runner-up medals, Frontale won the J1 League for the first time in club history, finally beating longtime title rivals Kashima Antlers on goal difference on the final day of the season.Frontale would become back to back champions the following year, with <mask> once again featuring heavily with 6 goals and 6 assists. The 2019 season would see him sidelined with two separate injuries, however, he was present for both the Japanese Super Cup and J League Cup finals, scoring a penalty in the latter as Frontale did the domestic double and won both. Shortly after Frontale won the J League Cup, <mask> announced he would require knee surgery, which he underwent successfully in November, after which he would require seven months of rehabilitation. <mask> made his return on August 29, 2020, scoring as Frontale defeated Shimizu S-Pulse in a resounding 5-0

 victory. On October 31, his 40th birthday, he scored the winning goal as Frontale extended their unbeaten run to defeat F.C. Tokyo 2-1. A day later, <mask> announced his intention to retire from the professional game at the end of the season.After winning one more J1 League trophy with Frontale, <mask>'s retirement ceremony was held on December 21, 2020. He remained with Frontale after retirement, and currently works as the club's relations organiser while also occasionally pitching in as a member of the coaching staff. Playing style
<mask> began his career as a central box-to-box midfielder, but was converted to the role of a playmaker during his second season at Frontale under Takashi Sekizuka, a move he credited as a turning point in his career. He was recognised as a highly efficient passer of the ball, regularly topping the J League for assists throughout his career, as well as being a consistent goal threat and an adept dribbler with determination and strength, despite his relatively small size. His ability on set-pieces has also been praised, both free kicks and penalties. Club statistics

In 2019, he began his singing career after participating in a singing contest. That year, he did a Mandarin duet for a movie theme song with JC of the song "Lost In Love" (), which sparked his desire to do more singing. In January 2019, he released the song "NEXT" (), the first song that made him well-known as a singer. The song hit several major charts. <mask> collaborated with  on the song's

Chak suggested including vocal music and inversion in the piece which demonstrated <mask>'s musical abilities.In 2019, <mask> wrote and sang the songs "just carry on" and "Listen to Wind" (), the latter of which he also arranged. The two songs did not receive as much as attention as "NEXT". For "just carry on", <mask> said that the song likens people to flowers that bloom at different times. Its message is that people do not need to compare themselves with each other. The song's music video features four new actors including  and  to accompany <mask> in acting various scenes of people being in a "collapsed state". As <mask> had trouble acting in the scenes, the directors needed to have everyone leave before filming his parts. <mask> composed fewer songs in 2019 than he did in previous years as he was adjusting to becoming a performer and as his energies were focused on promoting his work and planning.He composed two or three songs that year. During the 2019 Ultimate Song Chart Awards hosted by Commercial Radio Hong Kong, <mask> received the best new artist award. 2020: Major in Minor and "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland"

In 2020, he released a favourably reviewed song titled "In a Funk" (), which detailed a love rectangle. Owing to its topic, rhythm, and melody, listeners considered it a sequel to his previous song "NEXT". The song's lyrics were written by Albert Leung. "Solitude" (), the next song he released, was "widely acclaimed". The song's lyrics expounded on the loneliness common in life and came at a particularly timely moment during the COVID-19 pandemic when people were social distancing.<mask> wrote

Hong Kong Economic Times reviewer Chan Ka Yin found the song reminded herself as a woman in her 40s to spend more personal time on herself and do more introspection. Writing in The Loop, music critic Yannie Chan said "Solitude" "features an addictive melody and meaningful lyrics celebrating the art of enjoying time by yourself". In May 2020, <mask> released his first extended play titled Major in Minor. The name "Major in Minor" comes from listeners' experiencing contradictory sensations when hearing <mask>'s songs. His motivational song might make people feel a tinge of sadness, while his sad song might make them feel inspired.The name also is inspired by how <mask> is making mainstream music as an independent musician. <mask> spent in the six figures to self-finance the EP. After the EP sold out in less than two weeks, <mask> decided not to release additional copies, which made the EP go out of print. His decision was because he didn't want additional copies to make his work sell poorly and as a result have to be sold at a discount. This led to sales on online auction companies to reach several thousand dollars. The EP was released with two covers: one in blue and one in orange. One website offered to sell both versions of <mask>'s EP at HKD$2,800 (US$), which was a tenfold increase from the original price.<mask> initially had reservations about making the EP as he was uncertain about whether people would still buy physical copies of albums.

texts: Furthermore, his songs were usually about different topics, leading him to be uncertain about how to tie the songs together. After he heard from his fans that his songs had many common characteristics, he within a month took his five most recent compositions, added his demo cover of "Solitude", and composed some simple music to connect them together to create the EP. He inserted "after the party" before "Solitude" so that the audience could experience the bustling sensation of a party. The album's other songs are "NEXT", "just carry on", "Listen to Wind", and "In a Funk". He made an agreement with the music platform Joox to release Major in Minor under its Joox Original project. The platform had an exclusive licence to stream the album.SPILL music critic Fan Wong found that "the songs were all high quality but they were inevitably lacking in freshness" since they had previously been released. <mask>'s songs "NEXT" and "just carry on" have "unexpected, staggered notes and hard-to-touch beats", which critic Wong said have become <mask>'s trademark. His songs "Listen to Wind" and "In a Funk" made Wong think of the sophisti-pop genre in making people ponder and have feelings of refinement. In the later half of 2020, <mask> released the song "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland" (). The song has a scale with a 24-note range. With a fast tempo and playful tone, it is much faster than <mask>'s typical slow-paced songs. HK01 compared the song's main character, <mask>, to Alice from the children's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.The song describes how <mask> encounters witches and snow beasts upon entering a dream world.

 witches tell him that those who exist in the dream world are people who cannot live in a sober world. He sings and parties with the villagers. After waking up, he cannot rediscover the descending stairs that took him to the dream world. He takes out a pen to record the song he had sung with the villagers. For the music video, <mask> took the unconventional approach of hiring the illustrator The Odd Little World and the animator Sundae Service to animate <mask>'s adventures in the dream world. An HK01 music critic said that while <mask>'s previous songs largely had a pessimistic theme, "<mask>'s Adventures in Wonderland" is "a breakthrough" in being different and "proves that he can cater to the market and to the public while insisting on his own style".<mask> performed a live in-studio duet of the song "Quarantine" () with Jace Chan. On 13 November 2020, <mask> released "Turning Back the Clock in One Sentence" (. The song's theme is regret and it is influenced by a 1980s atmosphere. It received more than a million views in less than half a month. In 2020, he composed two songs for Eason Chan: "A Dance for Tomorrow" () and "Love Casually, Randomly" (). Regarding the latter song, which <mask> produced, Chan praised <mask> for his unconventional composition and for using a trombone instead of a trumpet. When <mask> was at the early stage as a composer, <mask> sent his music demos to Chan even though at the time the two were not acquainted.Following an encounter at a private party, they started talking again in 2017. 2021–present: Ultimate Song Chart and Chill Club awards

In contrast to most of the other male attendees who wore suits, <mask> wore a less formal Mike Amiri "multicolor souvenir patchwork hoodie" and a Paul Smith shirt with colourful striped patterns to match his performance that night of his song "Terence's Adventures in Wonderland", to make it easier to play the guitar, and to make himself more comfortable and relaxed. As an independent artist, he chooses his own outfits to wear at award ceremonies instead of relying on a team to help him with the decisions. After <mask>'s awards at the 2020 Ultimate Song Chart Awards, U Lifestyle called <mask> "the fastest rising male singer in Hong Kong's music scene".Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, <mask> had a lower income and fewer performing opportunities so he had more time to compose songs.

When <mask> went on the stage, no one was there to present the award to him, and he said "you get the award yourself, very casual".<mask> was poker-faced and was reluctant to give speeches after receiving the awards. His behaviour at the award ceremony led critics to call him "arrogant" and "disrespectful", and to question why he became a singer instead of remaining a behind-the-scenes composer. <mask>'s supporters responded that he was very introverted and like many other entertainers were at a loss for words in prominent settings. A day after the awards ceremony, he released a statement thanking ViuTV and his fans, saying "there is a lot of room for learning and improvement in expressing myself". In April 2021, <mask> performed as a featured singer at Ronald Cheng's concert. Artistry

He "takes the Cantopop route through and through, making it friends and unique".<mask> expressed interest in making an album of Mandarin songs. He said that if he could get non-Cantonese speakers to become his fans, they might listen to his Cantonese songs too. <mask> referenced as an example Eason Chan, who released Mandarin songs that attracted a substantial Taiwanese fanbase who listened to his Cantonese songs too.

He felt that did not matter as much if he were able to emotionally inspire his listeners.He initially did not plan to become a singer as he wanted to experience being a creator who worked behind the scenes. Although <mask> signed an agreement with a record label for the music he composes, for his singing, <mask> remains as an independent musician who has not signed with a record label or talent manager. He enjoyed the freedom in being able to make songs in his own way without considering other people's opinions. Signing with a record label would require him to make compromises. He composes, arranges, and directs songs in which he is the main singer. <mask> is solely responsible for choosing which singers he will collaborate with next and connecting with them. Reception
K Law of U Lifestyle found that <mask> had "special timbre, an introverted singing voice, and was good at transcribing the songs with varying degrees of play".am730 said that <mask> had "a special voice and unique and alluring vocals". SPILL music critic Fan Wong said that <mask>'s critics largely focus on his singing. Wong said that although <mask> is not one of the technically strongest singers, he is "not bad at all" in that area.

<mask> (18 March 1928 – 27 August 2018) was a French-born Australian visual artist and cultural figure who contributed significantly to the development of contemporary art in Australia. Her media included drawing, painting, sculpture and mosaic. Early life
<mask> was born in Paris, to a Lithuanian Jewish father, Leon Zelik, and a Romanian Jewish mother, Celia Gelbein. She was arrested in 1942 during the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup (Rafle du Vel' d'Hiv). Her father, Leon, managed to arrange for her release from the concentration camp at Pithiviers (Loiret) before Mora and her mother, Celia, were scheduled to be deported to Auschwitz. The family evaded arrest and deportation from 1942 to 1945 by hiding in the forests of France. After the war, Mora met a wartime resistance fighter <mask> in Paris at the age of 17.They married in 1947. In an interview in 2004, Mora said:

Migration to Australia
Having survived the Holocaust, <mask> and her husband migrated to Australia in 1951 in order to settle in Melbourne. They chose Melbourne over Casablanca or Saigon because <mask> had read about it in Henri Murger's novel Scènes de la Vie de Bohème, in which a young Parisian photographer makes regular trips to Melbourne to make his fortune. They occupied studios in Grosvenor Chambers in the 'Paris End' of Collins Street, and quickly became key figures on the Melbourne cultural scene. <mask> worked initially as a dressmaker while also making art, and Georges became an influential art dealer, in 1967 with his flair and entrepreneurship adding the Tolarno Galleries to Melbourne's only very select number of commercial art galleries. The <mask> family also owned and operated three significant Melbourne cafés. The Mirka Café was opened by Jean Sablon in December 1954 at 183 Exhibition Street and was the venue for the first major solo exhibition by Joy Hester.It was followed

 by the Café Balzac at 62 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne and then by the Tolarno in Fitzroy Street in St Kilda, which opened in 1966, and where Mirka created a bas-relief behind the bar and painted murals on walls and windows of the restaurant and bistro, hallway and toilets, over the period 1965 to 1978. All three were focal points for Melbourne's bohemian subculture. As <mask>'s son Philippe recalls, "my parents literally fed artists at our home and in our restaurants". In a 2004 interview Mora stated:

The Mora family's social circle included many progressive Australian artists and writers: Charles Blackman and Barbara Blackman, Fred Williams, John Perceval, Albert Tucker, Barrett Reid, Laurence Hope, Arthur Boyd and Joy Hester. The Mora family were especially close friends with renowned art patrons John and Sunday Reed, and spent many weekends at their famous home and artists' colony "Heide" (now the Heide Museum of Modern Art) in the Melbourne suburb of Bulleen, and at the Reeds' beach house next door to the Moras' own in Aspendale. Mora had three children who were to find their place as a film director, <mask>, an art dealer, William Mora, and an actor, Tiriel Mora. "Culturally privileged" is Philippe's epithet in describing their childhood.After extramarital relationships on both sides, Mora eventually separated from her husband Georges. Art: style and reception
After coming to Australia in 1951, three years later Mora had become well known in art circles in Melbourne and, with patron friends John and Sunday Reed, was operative in reviving the Contemporary Art Society there. <mask> and Georges Mora, through the Contemporary Art Society and with Italian Gino Nibbi (1896–1969) who showed Tucker and Nolan at his Galleria di Quattro Venti in Rome, made strenuous efforts to have Australia accepted for the first time into the Venice

Other major commissions include a painted Melbourne tram (1978), sets, costumes and masks for the ballet, Ivan the Terrible (1964), and the operas Medea and Bacchae (1979–80), and 85 1.5m puppets for the opera Bennelong. A noted colourist and symbolist, Mora's paintings are often bright and bold, constantly reinventing a repertoire of recurring motifs—innocent, wide-eyed children, angels, dogs, cats, snakes and birds, and hybrids of animals and humans.The highest price achieved for a <mask> Mora work was $120,000, in a private sale, with works on paper often fetching $15,000. Critical assessment
Perceptions of Mora's work have evolved against the background of the Australian art scene and its changing levels of sophistication. Donald Brook, in reviewing the 1964 Paintings by the Aleph Group describes Mora's work as one of only two that were 'distinctively Jewish'. Robin Wallace-Crabbe, in his 1968 Canberra Times, critique 'Giving away high-mindedness' of Mora's show at the Australian Sculpture Gallery, Narrabundah, hints that though 'delightful' her work is naïve, "like a mixture of May Gibbs' 'Snugglepot and Cuddlepie' and the prevailing Melbourne style in the early fifties", while later, in 1981, Sonja Kaleski is more favourably analytical in her review 'Vibrant, Volatile Artist', in The Canberra Times:
Mora's works and commentary on them have appeared in Australian Drawings by Elwyn Lynn, New painting, 1952–62 by John Reed, The Vital Decade by co-authors Geoffrey Dutton and Max Harris, and the Encyclopedia of Australian Art by Alan McCulloch.

<mask> FRS FRSE (30 November 1866 6 April 1951) was a British- South African doctor and palaeontologist. He qualified as a medical practitioner in 1895 and received his DSc in 1905 from the University of Glasgow. From 1903 to 1910, he was professor of zoology and geology at Victoria College, Stellenbosch, South Africa, and subsequently he became keeper of vertebrate palaeontology at the South African Museum, Cape Town. Life

<mask> was born at 66 Back Sneddon Street in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, the son of <mask>, a designer of calico prints and Paisley shawls, and Agnes Hunter Shearer. In 1893, he married Mary Baird Baillie, his childhood sweetheart. In his medical studies at the University of Glasgow Broom specialised in obstetrics. After graduating in 1895 he travelled to Australia, supporting himself by practising medicine.He settled in South Africa in 1897, just prior to the South African War. From 1903 to 1910, he was professor of Zoology and Geology at Victoria College, Stellenbosch (later Stellenbosch University), but was forced out of this position for promoting belief in evolution. He established a medical practice in the Karoo region of South Africa, an area rich in Therapsid fossils. Based on his continuing studies of these fossils and mammalian anatomy he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1920. Following the discovery of the Taung child he became interested in the search for human ancestors and commenced work on much more recent fossils from the dolomite caves north-west of Johannesburg, particularly Sterkfontein Cave (now part of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site). As well as describing many mammalian fossils from these caves he identified several hominin fossils, the most

<mask> was first known for his study of mammal-like reptiles. After Raymond Dart's discovery of the Taung Child, an infant australopithecine, <mask>'s interest in palaeoanthropology was heightened. <mask>'s career seemed over and he was sinking into poverty, when Dart wrote to Jan Smuts about the situation. Smuts, exerting pressure on the South African government, managed to obtain a position for <mask> in 1934 with the staff of the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria as an Assistant in Palaeontology. In the following years, he and John T. Robinson made a series of spectacular finds, including fragments from six hominins in Sterkfontein, which they named Plesianthropus transvaalensis, popularly called Mrs. Ples, but which was later classified as an adult Australopithecus africanus, as well as more discoveries at sites in Kromdraai and Swartkrans. In 1937, <mask> made his most famous discovery, by defining the robust hominin genus Paranthropus with his discovery of Paranthropus robustus. These discoveries helped support Dart's claims for the Taung species.For his volume, The South Africa Fossil Ape-Men, The Australopithecinae, in which he proposed the Australopithecinae subfamily, <mask> was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences in 1946. The remainder of <mask>'s career was devoted to the exploration of these sites and the interpretation of the many early hominin remains discovered there. He continued to write to the last. Shortly before his death he finished a monograph on

"Now that's finished ... and so am I." Spiritual evolution

<mask> was a nonconformist and was deeply interested in the paranormal and spiritualism; he was a critic of Darwinism and materialism. <mask> was a believer in spiritual evolution. In his book The Coming of Man: Was it Accident or Design?(1933) he claimed that "spiritual agencies" had guided evolution as animals and plants were too complex to have arisen by chance. According to <mask>, there were at least two different kinds of spiritual forces, and psychics are capable of seeing them. <mask> claimed there was a plan and purpose in evolution and that the origin of Homo sapiens is the ultimate purpose behind evolution. According to <mask> "Much of evolution looks as if it had been planned to result in man, and in other animals and plants to make the world a suitable place for him to dwell in." After discovering the skull of Mrs. Ples, <mask> was asked if he excavated at random, <mask> replied that spirits had told him where to find his discoveries. Publications

Among hundreds of articles contributed by him to scientific journals, the most important include:
"Fossil Reptiles of South Africa" in Science in South Africa (1905)
"Reptiles of Karroo Formation" in Geology of Cape Colony (1909)
"Development and Morphology of the Marsupial Shoulder Girdle" in Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1899)
"Comparison of Permian Reptiles of North America with Those of South Africa" in Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History (1910)

General <mask> (March 12, 1896 – July 30, 1975) was a senior United States Army officer. In the course of his military career, <mask> commanded three different army divisions, commanded at the corps and field army level and rose to the rank of four-star general. He is well-known for commanding the series of poor tactical decisions which led to the 442nd RCT becoming the most highly decorated unit in the history of the United States Armed Forces. Early life and military career
Born on March 12, 1896 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the youngest of four children, <mask>'s parents were immigrants from Dalsland, Sweden. He graduated from the University of Minnesota and received a direct commission as a second lieutenant into the Infantry Branch of the United States Army in August 1917, shortly after the American entry into World War I on April 6, 1917. Unable to serve overseas, he served in the Allied occupation of the Rhineland after the war. Remaining in the army during the interwar period he returned to the United States and served as an instructor at the U.S. Army Infantry School from 1924 to 1928.After graduating from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff School in 1931, he was assigned to the Philippines. From 1935 to 1936 he was a student at the U.S. Army War College, serving on the U.S. Army General Staff, Personnel Division after graduation. World War II
With the American entry into World War II in December 1941, <mask> was sent to England and assigned as deputy chief of staff to Major General Dwight David <mask> in early 1942, and, later that year, with the one-star rank of brigadier general, became the assistant division commander (ADC) of the 76th Infantry Division. In June 1943, promoted to the two-star

In July 1944, he took command of the 36th Infantry Division, a National Guard formation from Texas that had fought in many difficult battles in the Italian Campaign under Major General Frederick Walker and had recently taken part in Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of Southern France. <mask> was criticized for his overuse of the Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team (442nd RCT), which had been attached to his 36th Division. Many believed his poor decisions led to the 442nd RCT becoming the most highly decorated unit in the history of the United States Armed Forces.Over a third of the men in the 442nd were either killed or wounded when <mask> ordered the unit to rescue another unit that had been surrounded by the enemy. It is not the surviving Nisei soldiers of the 442nd but their officers (none of them Japanese-American) who are most often quoted in criticism of Dahlquist. On October 24, 1944, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 141st Infantry Regiment, part of <mask>'s 36th Division, moved to secure the right flank of the 3rd Division near the French town of St-Die. When the German forces counterattacked, the 1st Battalion was separated and cut off. After two days of attempted rescue by the other two battalions of the 141st Infantry, <mask> sent in the 442nd RCT, which had borne the brunt of the 36th Division's fighting for the previous eight days. The 442nd would suffer 800 casualties, including 121 dead, during the five days it took to rescue 211 men of the 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry. Major General Lucian Truscott, commanding

 the VI Corps (under which unit the 36th Division was serving), considered relieving him of his command.<mask> continued to lead the 36th Division throughout the campaign in Western Europe. On May 8, 1945, Victory in Europe Day, Hermann Göring surrendered to Brigadier General Robert I. Stack, the 36th Infantry Division's assistant division commander (ADC), after a ceasefire was declared between the German Army Group G and the U.S. Seventh Army. Stack transported Göring to the division command post. Because he spoke German, <mask> dismissed his translator, and so it was <mask> who became the first person to question Göring. Press photos of <mask> and Stack, in seemingly casual conversation with Göring, were released for publication in the United States and resulted in criticism of <mask> from the American public and from General <mask>, the Supreme Allied Commander in the European Theater of Operations (ETO).

Following the war, <mask> returned to the United States, serving in various administrative and personnel jobs.He took command of his third division, the 1st Infantry, in 1949. This was followed by command of V Corps from 1952 to 1953 and the Fourth Army in 1953. He then served as Chief of Army Field Forces from 1953 to 1955, during which he was promoted to the four-star rank of general on August 18, 1954.
