 Cadiz. Haddock returned to England at about this time, handing over command in the Mediterranean to his second officer, Richard Lestock, who was in turn superseded by the arrival of Vice-Admiral Thomas Mathews. Mathews had the task of carrying out diplomatic missions with the Mediterranean states and of securing British interests during the war. The Neapolitans had, in violation of their claims of neutrality, sent troops to support Britain's enemy, Spain, and Mathews was determined to force their withdrawal from the war. In July 1742 Mathews sent <mask>, in command of squadron, to Naples 'to bring the King of the two Sicilies to a just sense of his errors in having attacked in conjunction with the Spaniards the Queen of Hungary's territories in Italy.' Mission to Naples
<mask> arrived at Naples on the afternoon of 19 August, with orders to capture, sink or burn any vessels carrying military stores and supplies he found there and 'to use his utmost to lay the said city in ashes, unless the King of the two Sicilies shall agree forthwith not only to withdraw his troops now acting in conjunction with those of the King of Spain in Italy, but to forbear from giving in future any assistance of what kind soever.'<mask> sent his flag captain, Merrick de L'Angle, onshore to present the terms to the King, demanding that an answer be returned within half an hour. The small squadron was considerably more powerful than anything the Neapolitans could muster, and after calling an emergency council, the King and his ministers attempted to make conditions, sending a deputy back to <mask> with de L'Angle. <mask> instead stated that he was sent 'as an officer to act, not a minister to

 treat', and once more demanded the King comply with the demands. With no way of resisting, the Neapolitans confirmed their neutrality, and promised to withdraw their troops. His objective achieved, <mask> weighed anchor at midnight, and sailed to rejoin Mathews at Hyères Bay. Actions against the Genoese
<mask>'s next task involved cruising to protect Tuscany from Spanish attacks, and in February 1743 he went to the Genoese town of Ajaccio, with orders to destroy some Spanish magazines there. On arrival <mask> again threatened to destroy the town with a naval bombardment, unless the inhabitants agreed to demolish the magazines, which they did.Despite this, the Genoese continued to provide assistance to the Spanish, and news reached Mathews early in 1743 that a Spanish ship had collected levies from Corsica and sailed them to Italy, anchoring at Ajaccio. Mathews despatched <mask> on 13 February in Ipswich, and accompanied by HMS Revenge and  to Ajaccio. <mask> anchored off the port on 18 February, with his quarry, the San Isidro, anchored inside, hauled in close to the shore batteries. <mask> weighed anchor at 4 am the next morning and warped into the harbour, laying Ipswich alongside the Spanish vessel, while Revenge did the same. The ships exchanged a heavy fire until the San Isidro caught fire and blew up at noon. <mask> then returned to Mathews at Hyères. Flag rank
After these successes <mask> sailed back to England, arriving there late in 1743, and receiving a promotion to rear admiral on 7 December.He received a command in the Channel Fleet in February 1744 under his old commander, Sir John Norris, and was promoted to vice admiral on 23 June 1744. <mask> was

Fleet commands and later life
<mask> was based in the Downs under Admiral Edward Vernon in December 1745, and then succeeded Vernon in the command. The fleet had been stationed off the Downs to meet the threat of a French invasion to support a Jacobite rising.One such fleet had already been dispersed the previous year, and with the collapse of the threat <mask> returned to his usual station, and commanded the main fleet until his retirement in July 1746 on health grounds. He was promoted to full admiral on 15 July 1747, and retired to Twickenham where he died on 17 September 1756. He had married Mary Atkins, of Twell, Gloucestershire on 16 August 1726, but the couple did not have any children. Notes

<mask> (born 4 December 1959) is an Irish former professional footballer, who played as a defender. Mainly a centre back, he also played as defensive midfielder. <mask> is widely considered to be one of the greatest Irish players of all time. He spent the majority of his career at Aston Villa and Manchester United (seven seasons apiece). He is one of only six defenders to have won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award. He also played for St Patrick's Athletic, Derby County and Sheffield United. Also a long-time member of the Republic of Ireland national team, he appeared at the 1990 and 1994 FIFA World Cups, as well as UEFA Euro 1988, the team's first-ever international tournament.Early life
<mask> was born in Greenford, West London to an Irish mother and a Nigerian father. His father disappeared soon after his conception. His mother, <mask>, was terrified that her father would find out she had become pregnant outside marriage and in an interracial relationship. She travelled in secret to London to have her child, who was considered illegitimate, and gave him up for fostering in Ireland when he was four weeks old. When he was five years old, one of the daughters of the family he had been fostered by came to Betty to say they could not control him. At that stage his mother had him back for a number of days before having to put him into an orphanage. Despite being <mask> on his birth certificate, the admission form required the name of the father, hence he was known as <mask> for a time.Club career

St Patrick's Athletic
<mask> made his debut in a League of Ireland Cup clash with the Shamrock Rovers on 30 August 1981 at Richmond Park. Manager Charlie Walker stated in his notes in the match programme that "Since the end of last season I have been acquiring new players: three are local lads from junior clubs- Billy Reid (Fatima Rangers), <mask> (Dalkey United) and John Cleary (Ballyfermot United). Given a time and a little encouragement I feel that by

 the end of the season they will have done the club proud." He ultimately excelled at The Saints, earning the nickname "The Black Pearl of Inchicore". Manchester United
In 1982, <mask> moved to Manchester United, then managed by Ron Atkinson. He missed out on a place in the FA Cup victory over Brighton & Hove Albion the following year, but soon ousted Gordon McQueen to become the regular partner to Kevin Moran in the centre of defence. In 1985–86, it appeared that <mask> was on course to pick up a league title medal after United won their first 10 league games of the season, but injuries to key players including Bryan Robson soon took their toll on the side and they eventually finished fourth in the table, 12 points behind champions Liverpool.A dismal start to the 1986–87 season saw Ron Atkinson sacked as manager and replaced by Alex Ferguson in November 1986, but <mask> initially remained a regular member of the first team. United finished second behind Liverpool in the league a year later. By the 1988–89 season, <mask> was struggling with knee injuries and was becoming a less regular member of the first team, facing competition from new signings Steve Bruce and Mal Donaghy. His relationship with manager Ferguson was becoming strained. Aston Villa
During the late 1980s <mask> was offered terms at S.S.C. Napoli, but the deal did not come to fruition. <mask> signed for Aston Villa in August 1989.While at Villa, <mask> played some of the best football of his career, despite recurrent problems in his knees. Villa came close to winning the title in <mask>'s first season, finishing second to Liverpool. The next season saw the club fighting relegation for much of the campaign, after boss Graham Taylor left to take control of England. Despite the managerial upheaval, <mask>'s performances continued to impress. Under Jozef Vengloš, the first top flight manager to hail from the European mainland, <mask> became a consistent mainstay of the Villa line up. After

 Vengloš' solitary season (1990–91) at Villa, Ron Atkinson took over, building one of the finest sides of the early Premier League era. In the inaugural season of the Premier League (1992–93), Aston Villa again finished as runners-up, behind Manchester United.As a sign of the regard he was now held in by his fellow professionals, <mask> won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award at the end of the season. Later career
He played his final game as a professional for Sheffield United against Ipswich Town on 9 November 1997, just before his 38th birthday. He officially retired at the end of the season. International career
In 1990, the Republic of Ireland qualified for its first FIFA World Cup, in 1990 in Italy, eventually reaching the quarter-finals, where they lost to the hosts (1–0 in Rome), with <mask> ever present in the lineups (five matches, 480 minutes played). He captained the team four times in 1992 after the retirement of Mick McCarthy. In the Republic of Ireland's opening game of the 1994 World Cup – a 1–0 win against favourites Italy, thanks to Ray Houghton's early goal – in a perfect example of his commitment to the game, <mask> put up an astonishing defensive performance in spite of excruciating knee problems, including blocking a shot from Roberto Baggio with his face. Post-professional football life
<mask> suffers from alcoholism, and missed occasional matches as a result.In an interview with FourFourTwo, he admitted to playing football while still under the influence of alcohol; additionally, his recurrent knee problems resulted in him undergoing a total of eight operations during his career. <mask>'s autobiography, Back from the Brink, co-written with journalist Vincent Hogan, was the inaugural winner of the William Hill Irish Sports Book of the Year (2006). Upon retiring, he settled in Monageer, County Wexford. In 2004, one year after being taken to court, charged with a breach of the peace, <mask> returned to the football world after

<mask> (হরিচাঁদ ঠাকুর) (11 March 1812 – 5 March 1878), worked among the untouchable people of Bengal Presidency. He formed the Matua sect of Hindus. Life
<mask> was born in a Namashudra (or Chandala) peasant family in 1811(or 1812) in the Safaldanga village of Gopalganj District, Bangladesh of what was then Bengal Presidency (now a part of Bangladesh). He was the son of Jashomanta Biswas (father) and Annapurna Devi (mother). His family was a vaishnavite for generations His grandfather Manchanram Biswas was a devout vaishnavite and known as Thakur Manchanram in the locality. His father Jashomanta also inherited the same Thakur title from his grandfather and during the time of his father, his family adopted the surname Thakur abandoning their original surname Biswas. He was married to Jagat Mata Shanti Mata and they had two sons.He was evicted from his native village Safaldanga through the machinations of the village zamindar and finally he became settled in the village Orakandi of the same district. He did cultivation and some small trading for his daily living. He was well-known in the locality as a very religious person who has some magical power. Because of that, many people of his community from his own village, as well as surrounding villages, came to him as a disciple. Eventually, he founded a sect of Vaishnavite Hinduism called Matua. He did not believe in asceticism and preached the word of God staying within the family. According to him, the best ascetic is the person who can express his devotion to God remaining a family man (Grihete thakiya jar hay bhaboday.Sei je param sadhu janio nishchay). He passed away at Faridpur District in 1878. Social and Religious Reforms

According to historian Sekhar Bandyopadhyay, one day Thakur "experienced atma darshan or self-revelation, through which he realized that he was the incarnation of God himself, born in this world to bring salvation to the downtrodden". After that he started preaching his own religious realization which is only based on Bhakti. According to his doctrine, all traditional rituals, except devotion to God, faith in mankind, and love for living beings, are meaningless and distortions from the real aim of attaining God. During that time, lower-caste peoples in India were terribly oppressed and marginalized by the upper-caste people (mostly belong to the Vaishnav or Hindu Brahmin religions).These downtrodden people did not have any right in anything. His simple doctrine attracted many adherents from his own marginalized community. However, higher caste Hindus and Vaishnavs distanced themselves from his religion. He organized these downtrodden peoples of his own community under the banner of his new religious doctrine (known as Matua religion) and established Matua Mahasangha. In one sense, he gave the religionless Namashudras a new religion, his own Matua religion and helped them to establish their own right. His followers began to believe that he was gifted with supernatural power and can protect them from the Brahmanical cruel rules and regulations in the society. They started considering him as God (Param Brahma) Harichand and as an avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu or Krishna.Thus, he became known as Sri Sri <mask> Thakur. Although he initially attracted followers only from his community, later his religion attracted followers from other

After his death, one of his sons, Guruchand <mask>, himself a Chandala or avarna (born 1846), worked with C. S. Mead in a campaign to have the Chandala people recategorised as Namasudra. He established number of schools in his locality for the education of Dalit community. According to Sekhar Bandyopadhyay, it was under the leadership of Guruchand that the Matua sect "achieved its doctrinal cohesion and organisational push, as it came to be associated with the Namasudra social protest movement started in 1872". A considerable body of Dalit literature that mixes religious and secular themes has emerged around Thakur and Matua. This includes biographies, promotions of the teachings and interpretations of the relationship to later events, such as the thoughts of B. R. Ambedkar and comparisons with the situation of black people in the US. See also

<mask> (born 24 March 1961) is an English former professional footballer and manager who has managed teams in both the Welsh and English leagues. He has also managed classes as a substitute teacher. Born in Birkenhead, Cheshire, he won one full cap for England, against the Republic of Ireland in 1985. Most recently, he was assistant manager at Bradford Park Avenue. Early career
<mask> was born in Birkenhead and was spotted by scouts from Nottingham Forest while playing for Cammell Laird in the West Cheshire league. Forest offered Cammell Laird a brand new football kit if they could sign <mask>, to which they reluctantly agreed. In the 1983–84 and 1984–85 seasons, <mask> was Forest's leading goalscorer.<mask> also played in the UEFA Cup semi-final clash with Anderlecht in 1984, which Forest lost 3–2 on aggregate. While a Forest player, <mask> was capped for the England national football team on the one occasion at senior level, in a 2–1 friendly win over the Republic of Ireland on 26 March 1985. Manchester United
<mask> completed a transfer to Manchester United on 12 March 1986 for a fee of £750,000. By this stage of the season, United were falling behind Everton and Liverpool in the league title race which they had looked so certain to win after a 10-match winning start to the season. A hectic fixture schedule followed, with 10 games being played between <mask>'s arrival on 12 March leading up to his first goal in a 4–0 win over Leicester City on 26 April. By then, however, the impressive win was too late to revive United's title challenge as it had become a three-horse race between Everton, Liverpool and West Ham United, with Liverpool eventually winning. United manager Ron Atkinson had signed him as a successor to Mark Hughes, who would be signing for Barcelona at the end of the season.He started 11 league games for

By the beginning of November, <mask> had scored five goals in the league and another goal in the Football League Cup, but United were second from bottom in the league and battling against relegation when just months earlier they had been title contenders. <mask> scored his seventh goal of the season on 4 November 1986, but it came as United were thrashed 4–1 by Southampton in the fourth round replay of the League Cup. Ron Atkinson was then sacked and replaced by Alex Ferguson. Ferguson was intent on building a new side, but there were few changes to the line-up while the 1986–87 season wore on and <mask> was undoubtedly one of the best players in the side that season. In December, he scored twice in successive 3–3 draws with title challengers Tottenham Hotspur and fellow strugglers Aston Villa.On 20 April 1987 he scored the only goal in a 1–0 home win over deadly rivals Liverpool which helped end Liverpool's defence of the league title, which was won by Everton. By now, United's relegation worries had long gone and they finished a healthy 11th in the final table. <mask> finished the season as United's top goalscorer with 16 goals (14 in the league and two in the League Cup) and for the 1987–88 season he would have a new strike partner in the shape of Brian McClair following the departure of Frank Stapleton. McClair's arrival took the pressure off <mask> as the Scotsman was top scorer for a United side who finished second behind Liverpool in the league in 1987–88, scoring 24 goals in the league and 31 in all competitions. <mask> played in 34 out of 40 league games (13

 as a substitute) and scored five league goals. In all competitions he made 40 appearances and scored six goals, vying with Norman Whiteside (normally a midfielder) for the role of United's second striker. However, the 1988 close season saw the return of Mark Hughes to Old Trafford after two years away and it was widely expected that <mask> would leave, but he began the 1988–89 season still a United player, and with a regular place in the first team.He scored in successive league games in September and was also on the scoresheet in a League Cup tie but he was then sold to newly promoted Middlesbrough in November 1988 for a fee of £750,000. He had scored his last goal for United on 28 September 1988, finding the net in a 1–0 Football League Cup second round first leg win over Rotherham United at Millmoor. Middlesbrough
Davenport walked straight into the Ayresome Park first team under manager Bruce Rioch but it took him 11 games to get off the mark, netting in a 1–0 victory against his previous employers Manchester United at Ayresome Park on 2 January 1989. However, he managed just four goals from 24 games in 1988–89 as Boro slipped back into the Football League Second Division just one season after promotion. 1989–90 was even tougher as Boro narrowly avoided a second successive relegation and <mask> managed a mere three goals from 35 league games, and by the end of the season Rioch had gone and Boro were now managed by Colin Todd. In July 1990, he signed for their local rivals Sunderland who had just been promoted to the First Division. Sunderland
Davenport signed for nearby Sunderland in the summer of 1990, and formed an effective strike partnership with Marco Gabbiadini in the first half of the season.Despite this, Sunderland were relegated at the end of the season. In the 1991–92 season, <mask> continued to be a

In the same season, he played in the 1992 FA Cup Final at Wembley against Liverpool. <mask> scored the first goal in a famous 2–1 quarter-final victory over Chelsea during the road to Wembley and formed a partnership with striker John Byrne (who scored in every round bar the final itself). He played one more season for Sunderland, in the new Division One, before moving north of the border to sign for Airdrieonians, who had just been relegated from the Scottish Premier Division. Despite the fact that he had played for Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in the 1980s, both teams who fairly regularly won trophies around that time, this was <mask>'s first and only appearance in a major cup final. End of playing career
He finished his playing career with spells at several lower division and Scottish League clubs including Airdrieonians, St Johnstone, Stockport County and Southport where he also held post as Caretaker manager, during which time Southport were unbeaten.After leaving Southport he joined Macclesfield as a player scoring his 100th league goal at Exeter City F.C in May 1998. After his football career finished, <mask> went on to coach rugby and teach at St Anselms College in Birkenhead. He has since stayed on at St Anselms and acted as a substitute teacher and general organiser and liaison for school trips and finance. Management
After progressing as a coach and assistant manager he was appointed as manager after Sammy McIlroy left to become Northern Ireland manager in January 2000. However, he was sacked in December 2000 after refusing to work alongside newly appointed

In June 2001, <mask> was appointed as manager of Bangor City in the Welsh Premiership, where he took the team to three third-place finishes in four years qualifying for European competition 3 times. Bangor City memorably beat FK Sartid (Yugoslavia) in the UEFA cup first round in 2002.<mask> resigned from his post in December 2005 citing a lack of progress in the Welsh premier league and Bangor's unsuccessful application to build a new stadium as his reasons. He was appointed manager of Colwyn Bay on 24 May 2006, resigning on 15 January 2007 to once again become manager of Southport. However, in April 2008 he was sacked as manager despite vying for a place in the Conference North playoff positions. His sacking an acrimonious one, blaming the chief executive, Haydn Preece, personally for his demise quoting that he felt he was "stabbed in the back". On 11 May 2010, he found himself back in management as he was appointed as the assistant manager at Bradford Park Avenue only to find himself without a job by August the same year due to a change in personal circumstances.

<mask> (October 15, 1906 – October 3, 1976), sometimes known as Queen <mask>, was an American blues singer and songwriter. During a recording career that spanned 40 years, from 1926 to the mid-1960s, she worked with  Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Clarence Williams, Luis Russell, Lonnie Johnson, and Bob Dylan. She also performed in vaudeville and clubs, sometimes with her sister Addie "Sweet Peas" (or "Sweet Pease") <mask> (August 22, 1910 – 1943), also known as the Za Zu Girl. Among her compositions are "Black Snake Blues" (1926), "Dope Head Blues" (1927), and "Organ Grinder Blues" (1928). In 1962 she co-founded Spivey Records. Life and career
Born in Houston, Texas, she was the daughter of Grant and Addie (Smith<mask>. Her father was a part-time musician and a flagman for the railroad; her mother was a nurse.She had two sisters, both of whom also sang professionally: Addie "Sweet Peas" (or "Sweet Pease") <mask> (August 22, 1910 – 1943), who recorded for several major record labels between 1929 and 1937, and Elton Island Spivey Harris (1900–1971). <mask>'s first professional experience was in a family string band led by her father in Houston. After he died, the seven-year-old <mask> played on her own at local parties. In 1918, she was hired to accompany films at the Lincoln Theater in Dallas. As a teenager, she worked in local bars, nightclubs, and buffet flats, mostly alone, but occasionally with singer-guitarists, including Blind Lemon Jefferson. In 1926 she moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where she was signed by Okeh Records. Her first recording, "Black Snake Blues" (1926),

Between 1931 and 1937, more recordings followed for Vocalion Records and Decca Records, and, working out of New York, she maintained an active performance schedule. Her recorded accompanists included King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Lonnie Johnson, and Red Allen. The Depression did not put an end to <mask>'s musical career. She found a new outlet for her talent in 1929, when the film director King Vidor cast her to play Missy Rose in his first sound film, Hallelujah!. Through the 1930s and 1940s Spivey continued to work in musical films and stage shows, including the hit musical Hellzapoppin (1938), often with her husband, the vaudeville dancer Billy Adams. In 1951 Spivey retired from show business to play the pipe organ and lead a church choir, but she returned to secular music in 1961, when she was reunited with an old singing partner, Lonnie Johnson, to appear on four tracks on his Prestige Bluesville album Idle Hours.The folk music revival of the 1960s gave her further opportunities to make a comeback. She recorded again for Prestige Bluesville, sharing an album, Songs We Taught Your Mother, with fellow veterans Alberta Hunter and Lucille Hegamin, and began making personal appearances at festivals and clubs, including the 1963 European tour of the American Folk Blues Festival.

Duke Professor of English & Professor of Law at Duke University, and holds appointments in the Duke University School of Law as well as the university's Department of English, Department of African & African American Studies, and Program in Women's Studies. Early life and education
<mask>'s early life was spent in Buffalo, New York, the middle daughter of prominent educators Claude D. and Ouida H. Clapp. She received an A.B. From Talladega College. Part of her undergraduate credits were earned at Wroxton College (Wroxton Abbey), where she studied British literature, politics and economics, and part were earned at Harvard University where she studied Linguistics. <mask> received an M.A.from Michigan State University, an M.L.S. from Duke University School of Law, and a Ph.D. in American Literature and Linguistics from Michigan State University. Her dissertation, about the anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, was titled "A Critical Investigation of Literary and Linguistic Structures in the Fiction of Zora Neale Hurston". Professional activities
<mask> has been a member of the Duke faculty since 1994. Previously she taught at North Carolina State. She was hired, she later recalled, because Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "had just left for Harvard and Duke suddenly needed someone to teach a night course that had already been scheduled for Gates." She has served on the boards of Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies, and Princeton University's Council on the Study of Women and Gender.She has been affiliated with Duke University's Institute on Care at the End of Life, and with the Trent Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities.

 the authority to hire and tenure its own faculty. Her teaching and research focusses on African American cultural studies, gender, biocultural studies, law, and ethics. Professor <mask>'s books primarily analyze race, gender, literature, and especially the writings of African-American women. Referring to twentieth-century African-American women authors, <mask> wrote the following, which has been favorably quoted by others in her field:

Recursive structures accomplish a blend between figurative processes that are reflective (like a mirror) and symbolic processes whose depth and resonance make them reflexive. This combination results in texts that are at once emblematic of the culture they describe as well as interpretive of this culture.In 1999, she became the first African American woman to serve as a dean of faculty at Duke. She was Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences until 2004, when she took a leave of absence to attend Duke Law School, earning her Master of Legal Studies (2005). She is a current member of its faculty. <mask> was a founding co-director of the John Hope Franklin Center and the Franklin Humanities Institute. She is a member of the Hastings Center, an elected association of leading bioethics researchers and also serves on the Faculty Scholars in Bioethics Board of the Greenwall Foundation. In 2013, she was named to the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Transforming Care at the End of Life, within the National Academies of the United States. She serves on this committee with 20 other members from around the country.She retired from Duke University as James B. Duke Professor Emerita in June 2017. Books
Professor <mask> has written ten books to date, which can be summarized as follows, in chronological order. New Dimensions of Spirituality: A BiRacial and BiCultural Reading of the Novels of Toni Morrison. Westport (1987; with S.

 Demetrakopoulos). This book is a series of essays about Toni Morrison's first four novels The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, and Tar Baby. The coauthors, both professors of English, each write one chapter on each novel, as well as a chapter of introduction, "personal reveries", and a conclusion. The writing is relatively free of academic jargon.However, Demetrakopoulos brings to bear an interest in women's studies and Jungian psychology, whereas <mask>'s interest is more in black studies and linguistics. The Character of the Word: The Texts of Zora Neale Hurston (1987)
This 1987 book follows up on <mask>'s 1978 doctoral dissertation about the anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston. According to Cynthia Davis and Verner Mitchell, this book by <mask> is a "rather dense study of linguistic codes in Hurston's novels." Davis and Mitchell acknowledge that the book does "usefully explore Hurston's battle against pejorative conceptions of dialect". Moorings & Metaphors: Figures of Culture and Gender in Black Women's Literature (1992)
This 1992 study considers the ways that cultural tradition is reflected in the language and figures of black women's writing, covering works of Gloria Naylor, Alice Walker, Ama Ata Aidoo, Ntozake Shange, Buchi Emecheta, Octavia Butler, Efua Sutherland, Gayl Jones, and particularly focusing on Toni Morrison's Beloved and Flora Nwapa's Efuru. Analyzing  the work of contemporary African-American and West African writers, <mask> draws connections across two continents. Codes of Conduct: Race, Ethics, and the Color of Our Character (1995)
In Codes of Conduct, <mask> departs from the formality of scholarly prose to meditate about her experiences as a black person in the larger society, the experiences of her son, and the experiences of African-American women who faced public trials and tribulations; in the latter category, she places Tawana Brawley, Anita Hill,

 Phillis Wheatley, Zora Neale Hurston, and Whoopi Goldberg.This book also discusses the visual power of the black female body, the resonance and drama of language, and African-American community life. Passed On: African American Mourning Stories (2002)
<mask> argues that the susceptibility of African-Americans to early death has had unique cultural effects, and this 2002 book examines the "life of death" in that culture. The book is a memorial for Bem Kayin <mask>, her adopted son who died in an attempted prison break, while serving up to 95 years in prison after pleading guilty to breaking and entering, robbery, rape, and attempted murder. At the time of his death, Bem was also facing first degree murder charges for the deaths of two other women. <mask> <mask> studied mourning rituals and visited funeral homes throughout the United States as well as absorbing evidence from Richard Wright's death in Paris, black cult members' deaths in Jonestown, and other episodes. This is a survivor's tale, and a mordant humor surfaces occasionally. BookMarks: Reading in Black and White — A Memoir (2006)
This 2006 book by <mask> profiles 25 black authors who tended in their memoirs to cite the white giants of English-language literature, while citing markedly fewer black authors, or merely listing the latter as afterthoughts.<mask> interprets this tendency of black authors to "bookmark" primarily white authors as a signal from the memoirists of their supremely literate mastery of Anglo-American literature. Private Bodies/Public Texts: Race, Gender, and a Cultural Bioethics (2011)
In Private Bodies/Public Texts,  <mask> examines instances where personal medical information has been forced into the public sphere, and says that women and African Americans are often the victims. In view of history from Henrietta Lacks to Terri Schiavo, <mask> argues that some populations are more vulnerable to

 this phenomenon than others. Legal Fictions: Constituting Law, Composing Literature (2014)
In Legal Fictions, Professor <mask> explores the relationship between U.S. literature and U.S. jurisprudence, especially the effect that race concepts in law have had upon literary fiction. <mask> sees such relationships in Toni Morrison's Beloved, in Charles R. Johnson's Middle Passage, in David Bradley's The Chaneysville Incident and in Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. A Death in Harlem: A Novel (2019)
In 2019, Northwestern University Press published <mask>'s debut novel, a mystery set in Jazz Age Harlem. The book's point of departure is the climactic ending of Passing (novel), the 1929 novel by Nella Larsen.In it, <mask> introduces Weldon Haynie Thomas, "Harlem’s first colored policeman." Kirkus Reviews wrote that "<mask> brings her period, place, and people alive and provides as a bonus a most unexpected culprit." Gone Missing in Harlem: A Novel (2021)
In her highly anticipated second novel, <mask> <mask> evokes the resilience of a family whose journey traces the river of America’s early twentieth century. The Mosby family migrates north to the Harlem of their aspirations and arrive as Harlem staggers under the flu pandemic that follows the First World War. DeLilah Mosby and her daughter, Selma, meet difficulties with backbone and resolve to make a home for themselves in the city, and Selma has a baby, Chloe. The panic of the early thirties is embodied in the kidnapping and murder of the infant son of the nation’s dashing young aviator, Charles Lindbergh. A transfixed public follows the manhunt in the press and on the radio.Then Chloe goes missing—but her disappearance does not draw the same attention. Wry and perceptive Weldon Haynie Thomas, the city’s first “colored” policeman, takes the case. The urgent investigation tests Thomas’s abilities to draw out the secrets Harlem harbors,

Buzz Feed News called it "unputdownable...a spellbinding story about family, grief, and perseverance, full of rich and resilient characters you’ll fall in love with." Publishers Weekly starred review. Group of 88
During the Duke lacrosse case of 2006-07, in which the men's lacrosse team were falsely accused of raping a black woman at a party, <mask> coordinated the so-called "Group of 88" statement.This was an advertisement that she and Professor Wahneema Lubiano crafted for the Duke student newspaper, describing concerns about racism and sexism that the incident allegedly raised, and discussing "what happened to this woman". Historian KC Johnson and journalist Stuart Taylor, Jr. note that <mask> and Lubiano made it a point to publish the statement before the release of DNA results, which prosecutor Mike Nifong had said would be determinative, and before any indictments. The ad proved polarizing. As the facts of the case became clearer, Duke president Richard H. Brodhead, who had barred the indicted players from campus, invited them back. In response, <mask> resigned from a campus committee, stating that she "could no longer work in good faith with this breach of common trust", and she charged the university with failing to wait for a critical judicial decision. According to Johnson and Taylor, <mask> had previously shown little deference to judicial decisions when she said that, "the seriousness of the matter cannot be finally or fully adjudicated in the courts" because "justice inevitably has an attendant social construction." <mask> also announced that she had overheard that there was a witness to

 racial slurs by lacrosse players.No such witness was ever produced, say Johnson and Taylor, but the Wilmington Journal printed the story, and "<mask> was never disciplined or criticized" by Duke. In 2006, <mask> said that she would sign the Group of 88's ad again "in a heartbeat." Personal life
<mask>'s husband, <mask>, is an Associate Dean for Corporate and Industry Relations at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke. Her daughter, Ayana <mask>, is an Associate Professor of Physics, also at Duke University. She also adopted a 4-year-old boy, Bem Kayin <mask>. In 1998, at age 21, Bem <mask> was charged with breaking and entering, rape, robbery, and attempted murder and pleaded guilty, receiving a sentence of up to 95 years in prison. At the time of the crime, Bem was living with Karla less than a mile from the victim's home.Bem told his rape victim during the crime that he had killed Peggy Carr, a 32-year-old woman living in Wilmington, North Carolina. In 1999, Bem was shot dead by prison guards during a prison escape attempt. At the time of his death Bem was facing first degree murder charges for the deaths of two women, including Peggy Carr. <mask> <mask> dedicated the prologue (pgs 9-14) of her book, Passed On, to the memory of her son. She wrote of him "We knew North Carolina judicial history, we knew the national tendency to impose the ultimate punishment for crimes committed against white victims by black men." She specifically requested a black funeral home to care for her son's remains, stating, "We expected them to treat him as a child who was loved, I don't think I could have had that conversation with a white funeral director."

 the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, criticizes <mask> saying: "If you look at his history, he was a warmonger and he shouldn't be near the White House.He was part of a militia that committed war crimes and, if anything, he should be tried for war crimes." Sarah Stern, president of the Endowment for Middle East Truth, defended his actions for the Lebanise militant group: "He represented his left-of-center party within a coalition of parties that oversaw the local government of the Christian community when it was surrounded by the Syrian army and the terrorist groups between 1986 and 1988. <mask> is being attacked because he is on the right side of the issues and is fearless in speaking out the truth... [Walid] is in a caliber of his own. He understood the rise of radical Islam in the Middle East. He understood very early on what ISIS is, that it's a real threat. He understands that Islam is more than a religion, that it's also an ideology and an ideology of conquest." Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton conspiracy theories
<mask> has asserted that the Barack Obama administration supported the Muslim Brotherhood.In October 2016, he asserted that "the triangle Clintonmachine-Iranregime-MuslimBrotherhood has unleashed a coordinated propaganda offensive" against Donald Trump. Israel
<mask> has said that "[Israel's] only rational and historical choice is to link up once more with the Christian community of Lebanon. This may represent a choice which may not be appreciated among many Israelis, for various reasons, but it remains one which cannot be avoided... The Christians of Lebanon are the only potential ally against the advance of the northern Arabo-Islamic threat against Israel." 2017 Westminster attack

Views on Islam
According to the New York Times, <mask> "regularly warns that Muslims aim to take over American institutions and impose Shariah, a legal code based mainly on the Koran that can involve punishments like cutting off the hands of a thief." <mask> has also asserted that jihadists are posing as civil rights advocates.Phares has been described as being part of "the Islamophobia industry, a network of researchers who have warned for many years of the dangers of Islam and were thrilled by Mr. Trump’s election." According to Lawrence Pintak of the Atlantic Council and a member of the advisory board for The Media Majlis at Northwestern University in Qatar, <mask> is a "card-carrying Islamophobe". Although <mask> is often described as a scholar on terrorism, Stanford University terrorism expert Martha Crenshaw stated that <mask> was "not in the mainstream as an academic".

Al-<mask>bid emir of Hama first in 1219 (616 AH) and then restored in 1229–1244 (626 AH–642 AH). He was the son of al-Mansur Muhammad and the older brother of al-Nasir Kilij Arslan. Usurpation
In 1219, al-Mansur called together the leading men of Hama and made them swear allegiance to his eldest son, <mask>, as his heir apparent, before sending al-Muzaffar to Egypt to aid Sultan al-Kamil. Some time later he sent his second son, an-Nasir Kilij Arslan to join Al-Muazzam in his campaigns in Palestine. However, as he lay dying some of the leading emirs decided to invite an-Nasir back to Hama to usurp the throne in place of his brother, in the hope that they would be able to exercise real control under his nominal rule. Al-Mansur died in January 1221 (Dhu'l Qa'da 617), and An-Nasir duly installed himself as ruler in Hama. In Egypt, when al-Muzaffar learned of his father's death, he obtained Sultan al-Kamil's permission to go and claim his throne.On reaching Syria however he found his brother firmly established on the throne. None of the notables of Hama would support him in removing An-Nasir, and none of the other Ayyubid princes in Syria was interested in helping him, so he had to return to Egypt, where he was given an estate by Al-Kamil. Restoration
Al-Muzaffar was eventually restored to Hama as a result of the changing balance of power between the major rulers of the Ayyubid family. In November 1228 (Dhu’l Hijja 625) negotiations took place at Tell el-'Ajul near Gaza

Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, <mask> attended Plainfield High School. He began as a clarinetist, playing jazz for fun and profit. He attended Syracuse University, where he studied composition with Ernst Bacon, who encouraged him in that direction. He then attended Princeton University as a graduate student, where he worked with composers Roger Sessions and Milton Babbitt. He also studied with Luigi Dallapiccola in Italy as a Fulbright Scholar. He became a lecturer and teacher himself, working with students at Yale University, the New England Conservatory of Music (where he became chair of the composition department), Brandeis University, and Harvard University.He won the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1974 for his chamber work Notturno.

A recording of the concert was released by Navona Records in 2009. Music
Most of <mask>'s mature works (including pseudo-tonal works such as Paradiso Choruses and Seven Pious Pieces) were composed using the twelve-tone method; his sound world more closely resembled the lyrical Dallapiccola's than his other teachers'. The pianist Easley

<mask> (24 November 1907 – 11 March 1996) was the pen name of <mask>, an American author of fantasy fiction. She remains popular in North America and Europe because of her “ability to humanize historical and mythological subjects with eloquence, humor and compassion”. Life
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana to Marion Edmund Ensley and Wilna Eunice Ensley née Coyner, <mask> came from a lively, educated, Quaker family. <mask> suffered chronic respiratory illnesses as a child, and was privately or self-taught at home. Her parents separated and divorced in 1924. Growing up and living with her mother and her grandmother and witnessing her parents’ marital difficulties roused a natural feminism in <mask> which appears throughout her writings. As a child, <mask> enjoyed the works of L. Frank Baum, James Stephens, Lord Dunsany and Algernon Blackwood, which she would later cite as influences on her fiction.<mask> and her mother traveled often to New York City, Chicago and San Francisco for opera, especially for Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen; opera was a passion her entire life. In 1946 after the death of her grandmother, <mask> and her mother moved to Tucson, Arizona. Wilna Ensley died in 1971 but not before she saw the dawn of public recognition for <mask> and her works. Most of <mask>’s published and unpublished works were originally written in the 1920s through the early 1950s. She worked on her best known work, the Mabinogion tetralogy, during the late 1930s and early 1940s, and her Theseus trilogy during the late 1940s. Once success found her after 1970, she reworked many of her

texts: manuscripts for publication over the next twenty years. <mask> said of her knack for writing fantasy: “My own method has always been to try to put flesh and blood on the bones of the original myth; I almost never contradict sources, I only add and interpret.” In 1991, she underwent surgery for a brain tumor that proved benign.However, her health continued to decline. Treated as a child with silver nitrate tincture for frequent bronchitis and severe sinus infections, <mask>, who had extremely fair skin, absorbed the pigment of the tincture, causing her skin to turn gray and darken as she aged. <mask> corresponded with the British novelist, essayist and poet John Cowper Powys for many years. Some of <mask>'s papers from 1936-1984—including biographic material, manuscripts and the correspondence with Powys—are archived in Special Collections at the Library, University of Arizona in Tucson. She was first cousin to Clifford C. Furnas (1900–1969), author of The Next Hundred Years, Assistant Secretary of War in the Eisenhower administration, co-founder of NASA and chancellor of SUNY Buffalo; and to Clifton J. Furness (1898–1946), professor of music and author of The Genteel Female: An Anthology (1931). Furness edited and introduced a facsimile edition of Leaves of Grass (1939) and Walt Whitman's Workshop: A Collection of Unpublished Manuscripts (1928). A writer himself, Furness encouraged, inspired and mentored his young cousin Evangeline.<mask> herself wrote about her chosen pen name, "I use the name <mask> professionally, partly because I originally hoped to build up different lines of work

 under different names, partly because <mask> is an old family name and appears on the Declaration of Independence. Not that I can trace any blood connection between my Quaker <mask>s and the Declaration signer. They came from Virginia, and were supposed to have had a [Native American] man somewhere up the family tree. He may be the reason why both records and tradition trail off into vagueness. But when I was a child, old folk remembered the <mask>s as very tall, very dark people, too full of restless energy to fit quietly into their peaceful little Quaker community: a vivid, turbulent note in it." Writings

<mask> is best known for her four novels retelling the Welsh Mabinogi. She published her first volume in 1936 under the publisher's title of The Virgin and the Swine.Although receiving warm praise from John Cowper Powys, the book sold poorly and none of the other novels in the series reached print at the time. Rediscovered by Ballantine's Adult Fantasy series in 1970, it was reissued as The Island of the Mighty. Editors at Ballantine were unaware that she was still alive, till she got in touch and sent them a second novel that had been left unfinished when the first failed to sell. This appeared as The Children of Llyr in 1971. It was followed by The Song of Rhiannon in 1972 and Prince of Annwn in 1974. All four novels were published in a single volume as The Mabinogion Tetralogy in 2002 by Overlook Press. The four novels are translated and available in several European languages.The rights to <mask>’s Mabinogi work were purchased by Stevie Nicks in the hopes of bringing the epic to

<mask> (born June 17, 1942, Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American poet, essayist, fiction writer, translator, and a member of the New York School. Great Balls of Fire, <mask>'s first full-length collection of poems, was published in 1969. He won a 2009 Shelley Memorial Award. In 2018, he won the Frost Medal from the Poetry Society of America. Early life and education
Padgett’s father was a bootlegger in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He influenced many of Padgett's works, particularly in the writer's taste for independence and a willingness to deviate from rules, even his own. This would later be described as a stubborn streak of boyishness, allowing a wry innocence in his poetry.Padgett started writing poetry at the age of 13. In an interview, the poet said that he was inspired to write when a girl he had a big crush on did not return his affection. In high school, Padgett became interested in visual arts while continuing to write poetry. He befriended Joe Brainard, the visual artist who also became a well-known writer. They, with fellow Central High student Dick Gallup, co-founded the avant-garde literary journal The White Dove Review. Padgett and Gallup solicited work for The White Dove from Black Mountain and Beat Movement writers such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, LeRoi Jones, Paul Blackburn, Gilbert Sorrentino, and Robert Creeley. After five issues, Padgett, on his way to college, retired the White Dove.In 1960, <mask> left Tulsa to study at Columbia College fin New York City. At that time he was interested in Pound, Rimbaud, the Black Mountain poets, and the Beats but soon he fell under the spell of the New York School, particularly the poetry of Frank O'Hara, John
