 and Dr Calamari's Music Hall of the Macabre. In the early 1990s, he contributed drums to Catwalk, a short-lived alternative rock band led by Melody Maker journalist Chris Roberts. Transglobal Underground and worldbeat; 1992–present
During Furniture's globetrotting exile from the UK between 1987 and 1989, <mask> performed with the band in Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania. This exposed him further to music from cultures outside the Anglophone rock and pop tradition:  African, Arabic, Middle Eastern and Central and Eastern European. Following the break-up of Furniture, <mask> became a member of another Ealing-based band, The Flavel Bambi Septet (named after a gas cooker) which specialised in light-hearted but affectionate covers of classic Arabic and Middle Eastern pop music standards, oriental classics, Russian polkas, Nigerian brass band favourites and Klezmer tunes.During its existence, The Flavel Bambi Septet made regular performances at Club Dog and Waterman's Art Centre (in West London) and also made an appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as the house band for a variety theatre show. This work (rather than his Furniture contributions) anticipated <mask>'s most successful project, Transglobal Underground (a.k.a. "TGU"), a musical collective which he set up with Tim Whelan in 1992. Transglobal Underground pioneered the now-common fusion of world music and various club dance music forms now referred to as "worldbeat" and immediately brought it to the mainstream with the single "Temple Head" and a number of successful albums and singles. <mask> and Whelan continue to lead the collective to this day and have featured on every single TGU release, generally under a variety of pseudonyms. (<mask>'s pseudonyms tend to be variations on the name "Hamid Mantu").

In addition to their frequent work with Natacha Atlas, he and Whelan had an alternative duo project called More money than God. <mask> was also a member of Xangbetos (with Joe Sax and Transglobal Underground members Neil Sparkes and Doreen Thobekile Webster) who released the Zulu-inspired "Size of an Elephant" EP in 1997.

In between his Transglobal Underground commitments, <mask> is currently a member of the space rock/improvised Krautrock band Lunar Dunes (with bass player Ian Blackaby and former Cornershop sitarist Adam Blake) who have played with Damo Suzuki and released two albums of their own. Lunar Dunes' work with additional musicians (including pianist/harpist Julia Thornton, singer and loop processor Krupa MaNomay and frequent Furniture/TGU saxophonist Larry Whelan) led to the creation of a second band, the "post-jazz/post-punk/chamber dub" ensemble Solus 3. Originally conceived as a trio of <mask>, Blackaby and Thornton, the group has expanded to include contributions from MaNomay and trumpeter/throat singer Francesco Filizzola (in addition to various guest collaborators).Solus 3 have released two albums to date.

According to him, the R&B of the early 1980s contained "the perfect combination of computerized instrumentation with a live feel", and that the genre's dynamics later became lost due to the influence of hip hop on R&B. Despite facing ridicule from classmates for being shy and awkward, he progressed and continued to develop his musical abilities, and he also adopted the look of a more bohemian style outwardly in his clothing, growing long sideburns and letting his hair grow out wildly and combed in an extreme style, or sometimes putting his hair in long thin braids. Initially influenced by early-1980s urban R&B, <mask> progressed rapidly, and by 1991 he was performing on the New York City club scene. <mask> was able to gain access to a 24-track recording studio and started to record songs for a demo tape, which he circulated among his friends. The demo engendered interest, and his official debut concert performance at Manhattan nightclub Nell's drew a crowd.During the next two years, <mask> wrote and recorded over three hundred songs and played frequently at small venues throughout New York City. <mask>'s performances continued to draw interest and increase the buzz about him, and he was called "the next Prince" by a writer from Vibe magazine who attended one of his shows. After earning a considerable reputation, <mask> signed a recording contract with Columbia Records in 1994. He adopted his middle name as a moniker out of respect for

 his family's privacy. 1994-1997: <mask>'s Urban Hang Suite
<mask> began working with songwriter Leon Ware and noted guitarist Wah Wah Watson to record his debut <mask>'s Urban Hang Suite in the mid 1990s. Recording sessions for the album took place in 1994 and 1995 at Electric Lady Studios, RPM Studios, Sorcerer Studios and Chung King Studios in New York City, and at CRC Studios in Chicago, Illinois. After production for the album was completed in 1995, the finished product was presented to Columbia Records in Spring of that same year.However, it was shelved for nearly a year, due to issues with Columbia's management, the label's extensive reorganization and record executives' doubts of the album's commercial potential. Initially, the album was slow to obtain commercial interest. On April 20, 1996, the album made its chart debut at number 38 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. From August to October 1996, <mask>'s Urban Hang Suite experienced chart growth on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Billboard 200, peaking at number eight on the former and at number 36 on the latter. It spent seventy-eight weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. It became a Top 30 hit in the United Kingdom. The album was later ranked as one of the year's top-10 best albums by Time, Rolling Stone and USA Today.and was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album at the 39th Grammy Awards, losing the award to The Tony Rich Project's Words. The album spawned four singles. The first single released, "...Til the Cops Come Knockin'", debuted on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks at number 87 in May 1996. Peaking at number 79,

These EPs were re-released in 2019. "Sumthin' Sumthin': Mellosmoothe" appeared on the Loves Jones soundtrack in March 1997. Despite <mask>'s having released only one album, the music video television channel MTV saw his burgeoning popularity and asked him to tape an episode of the concert series MTV Unplugged in New York City. The show was taped live on June 15, 1997, and he performed his own songs as well as covers of songs by Kate Bush ("This Woman's Work") and Nine Inch Nails ("Closer").(<mask> clashed with his label about the release of a full album of his session, resulting in the release of only an extended play, or EP instead, containing seven songs.)

<mask>'s second studio album, Embrya, was released on June 30, 1998, and upon its release it was panned by contemporary music critics. The album received mixed criticism for its more "indulgent sound." With its internal focus and esoteric grooves, the album served as a departure for <mask>, who did not regret risking his reputation with urban listeners for a more challenging record. The album experienced a critical backlash similar to that of other artists' work that broke their previous releases' successful formulas in favor of more compelling projects, now being termed "neo-soul."In 1999, it won the Soul Train Music Award for Best Male Soul/R&B Album. In a retrospective review for Allmusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that <mask> "overstuffs his songs with ideas that lead nowhere" and called Embrya "a bit of a sophomore stumble, albeit one with promising moments." Arion Berger, writing in The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), found the songs monotonous and called the album "unfocused and pretentious ... full of overwrought, underwritten songs with obscure, fancy titles revolving around a sort of sexual gnosticism." Critics have since reappraised Embrya as a groundbreaking forerunner to later trends in Alternative R&B, and Columbia Records reissued the album in 2018 on its 20th Anniversary. Despite the negative press, the album sold more than one million copies and garnered <mask> a new alternative fanbase, but confounded the

Embrya was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, losing to fellow neo-soul artist Erykah Badu's Baduizm (1997).Later in the year he released "Fortunate", a single written by R. Kelly and featured on the soundtrack for the 1999 film Life. The single peaked at number one on Billboard magazine's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles and Tracks chart. To date, the song is <mask>'s most successful single and was Billboard's number-one R&B single of 1999. Now, <mask>'s third album, was released on August 14, 2001 on Columbia Records in the United States. Following the lukewarm radio success of his previous album, <mask> has stated he felt more comfortable with his artistic direction in the creation of his new album, which does not exhibit his previous work's conceptual style. The album sold over 296,000 units in the U.S. in the first week, according to SoundScan, to earn him his first-ever number one album. The album was later certified platinum by the RIAA."Lifetime" was the second single from the album. It was a top five hit on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart and peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The third single off the album, "This Woman's Work", a live staple of <mask>'s, charted at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 16 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The album BLACKsummers'night was released on July 7, 2009 and received universal acclaim from music critics.

texts: <mask>'s Urban Hang Suite has been recognized by writers for beginning neo soul's popularity and helping the genre obtain commercial visibility. However, in contrast to D'Angelo, <mask> was more conventional in his approach on his debut album.In commenting on the "new soul revival" in music, <mask> told Entertainment Weekly in 1997 that "everything out there musically was inspired or influenced by something from the past. It's not about creating some super-fresh new thing. If it doesn't lend itself to your history, how is it going to extend to your future? That's what's really brilliant about looking into children's eyes—you can see their parents in them." The Washington Post called him "the Marvin Gaye of the '90s". Its columnist wrote that <mask>'s Urban Hang Suite "heralded the arrival of a top-of-the-class graduate of the old school of soul, one who could sing about romantic aspiration and tribulation with heart-wrenching emotion. It was as if the aesthetic that Gaye ascribed to — 'music that has feeling, hope and meaning – all the things people are looking for' — had been rediscovered after a long, hedonistic interlude."<mask>'s role in writing and producing the album exhibited a level of artistic control by an R&B artist that was uncommon in the recording industry at the time. On his emergence with <mask>'s Urban Hang Suite, writer Carol Brennan cited him, along with the Fugees, D'Angelo and Tony Rich, as neo soul musicians that "exhibited the identifying characteristics of this new breed of R&B artists: lyrics that give voice to intense personal expression, creative control over the music, and a

<mask> (; born November 1931) is a retired Chinese politician. His first prominent role in government began in 1985, when he was made leader of the United Front Work Department for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He held the position until the CCP expelled him for inadequately following the party line in his dialogues with students during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. <mask> returned to government work in 1991 when he became a vice minister of Civil Affairs. Early career
<mask> was born in Liaoning province in 1931. In 1949, he graduated from the Harbin Foreign Language College. He then became the official Russian translator for Mao Zedong, before being promoted to a high-ranking party position sometime in the late 1950s.During the Cultural Revolution he was arrested and did not reappear in a state position until 1985. His father, <mask>, had been a member of both the Kuomintang and the CCP. Before <mask> was appointed head of the United Front Work Department in 1985, his father had held the position from the department's inception during the Chinese Civil War. When students began protesting China's corruption and economic problems after the death of Hu Yaobang on April 15, 1989, <mask> was also serving as a Secretary in the 13th Politburo of the Communist Party of China. Participation in 1989 Tiananmen Square protests
From the beginning of the protests at Tiananmen Square, the Politburo's members had been working towards finding a resolution that would pacify the students. Some officials favored engaging with their demands, but others, such as Li Peng, felt that most pressing issue was to “get students back into their classrooms” before the situation escalated. At a meeting held on May 10, the Politburo, under the

 leadership of Zhao Ziyang, decided that holding discussions with every group involved in the protests would be an ideal path to resolving the students’ issues; along with Hu Qili and Rui Xingwen, <mask> was asked to speak to journalists from various papers throughout the capital.According to Zhang Liang, the compiler of the document collection The Tiananmen Papers, the three officials saw in the protests “an opportunity to move decisively toward fuller, more truthful reporting.”  <mask> held his dialogue with Beijing's journalists from May 11 to May 13; throughout these discussions, he repeatedly voiced his support for the students’ goals, downplayed the condemnation of the protest expressed in the April 26 Editorial, and maintained that Zhao was fully in favor of reforming the press. After the students commenced their hunger strike on May 13, the Politburo sent <mask> to Tiananmen Square to call for an end to the protests and implore students to return to class. For the most part, the meeting went badly. In his discussion with the student leaders, he acknowledged that the decision to protest was justified while reaffirming the Politburo's desire to see the students return to their classrooms. He also condemned the decision to begin a hunger strike, telling the students that it “accomplishes nothing, either for the country or your own health. If you present your demands and suggestions through proper channels, I can responsibly tell you the door to dialogue is always open.”  The meeting ended with both groups feeling misunderstood; when <mask> reported back to Zhao, he noted that the student leaders “are in disagreement among themselves.”

On May 14, <mask> returned to the Great Hall of the People and told students that a dialogue

During the discussion that afternoon, Zhang claims, <mask> and Li Tieying maintained that their aim was “not to negotiate policy decisions but to exchange views and information.”  After the dialogue broke down, Dai Qing and a group of eleven other intellectuals notified <mask> that they were willing to meet with the students and urge them to stop their hunger strike.When the intellectuals returned from the dialogue, they claimed that the students would listen if the government would compromise first. For <mask>, this indicated that the “students are getting greedier, their demands are getting stiffer, and they’re getting less and less unified among themselves.”  The intellectuals resumed the discussion, but it again ended without either party reaching a resolution. On May 16, <mask> arrived at Tiananmen Square to advocate an end to the hunger strike. He offered himself as a hostage to demonstrate the sincerity of his belief that all issues would soon be resolved. The students believed his speech to be genuine, but they did not think that the government would truly capitulate. By May 18, <mask> had grown tired of the disagreements between the students and the government. At a meeting between Li Peng and the student leaders that day, he stated that the “only issue I am concerned with is that of saving the children who are hunger striking in the Square, who are now in a very weakened state, their lives gravely threatened.”  When Zhao was ousted on May 21, <mask> lost his major source of political support; on June 23, the Politburo voted to eject him from his government positions.An article from The Asian Wall Street Journal contends that <mask> “was

 criticized as handling the talks badly.”  According to Zhang, <mask>'s speech to students on May 16 also “became a major count against him” when the government began to expel its reform-minded members. Return to government and retirement
<mask> did not reappear in Chinese politics until 1991, when he was named vice minister of Civil Affairs. The promotion occurred almost exactly two years after the June 4 Massacre, but a New York Times article claims that <mask> and other recently rehabilitated officials “did not mention their 1989 political disgrace or say why they were given new jobs.”  According to Josephine Ma, <mask> “lost his political clout” in 1996 and retired from all government work, although he remained involved in charity work and continued to serve as chairman of China's Charity Association. In 2007, <mask> became China's chief negotiator with Taiwan for a brief period. While <mask>'s promotion to vice minister of Civil Affairs indicated that he was “partially rehabilitated,” Ma reports that “observers” regarded his tenure as chief negotiator as “the famous liberal’s full rehabilitation.”  Apart from these positions, <mask> has maintained a “low profile” since his retirement. In November 2018, former Chinese primer Wen Jiabao visited him in hospital at his 87th birthday. References

 with affiliate appointments in the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Dermatology. He also became the first Director of the newly endowed Center for Bio-Integrated Electronics, which was elevated to the Institute of Bioelectronics in 2019 through an additional contribution to the endowment by Kimberly Querrey and Louis Simpson, trustees at Northwestern University. Current research
Rogers' research seeks to exploit characteristics of 'soft' materials, such as polymers, liquid crystals, and biological tissues as well as hybrid combinations of them with unusual classes of micro/nanomaterials, in the form of ribbons, wires, membranes, tubes or related. The aim is to control and induce novel electronic and photonic responses in these materials; and also develop new 'soft lithographic' and biomimetic approaches for patterning them and guiding their growth. This work combines fundamental studies with forward-looking engineering efforts in a way that promotes positive feedback between the two.Current research focuses on soft materials for conformal electronics, nanophotonic structures, microfluidic devices, and microelectromechanical systems, all lately with an emphasis on bio-inspired and bio-integrated technologies. Applications of this research have included dissolvable, wireless pacemakers, optogenetic brain implants, and environmental sensors. Awards and achievements
<mask>' research deals with nano and molecular scale fabrication, materials, and patterning techniques for electronic and photonic devices, lately with a strong emphasis on bio-integrated systems. He has published over 850 papers (>160,000 citations, per Google Scholar), and is an inventor on over 100 patents and patent applications, more

title: Mario Gandelsonas

texts:
<mask><mask> (born December 14, 1938 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an American architect and theorist whose specializations include urbanism and semiotics. Gandelsonas is a founding partner of Agrest and Gandelsonas Architects, based in New York City, with Diana Agrest. In addition to his professional work, Gandelsonas is a scholar. He currently serves as the Class of 1913 Lecturer in Architecture at Princeton University and previously taught at Yale University and Harvard Graduate School of Design. Education and early work
<mask><mask> was born on 14 December 1938 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the son of Lithuanian immigrants. He was educated at the University of Buenos Aires where he received a Diploma Architect in 1962, and at the Centre de Recherche d’Urbanisme in Paris, from 1967-1968. In 1971,the American Architect Peter Eisenman invited Gandelsonas to travel to New York as a Visiting Fellow to the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies(IAUS).<mask> became a fellow in 1972 and served as one of the founding editors of the Institute's architectural journal, Oppositions. Gandelsonas currently serves as the acting dean and the Class of 1913 Lecturer in Architecture at Princeton University School of Architecture. Professional practice
In 1980, Gandelsonas became a founding partner of Agrest and Gandelsonas Architects with Diana Agrest. A unique perception of the city has formed the basis of his work. As a theorist, Gandelsonas is known for his approach to urbanism based on reading the plans of cities like they are text. His striking analytical diagrams of American cities have become a trademark for investigations into urban morphology. In the early 1990s, he developed the concept of "Vision Planning" as a new approach to his urban planning work for the city of Des Moines.The Des Moines Vision Plan contained two major propositions: Western Gateway Park

 and the Martin Luther King Parkway. In 2007 <mask> built upon his original vision plan by developing a new Downtown Des Moines Planning Project and completing Gateway Park with the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park. Other projects by Agrest and Gandelsonas Architects are Liberty Street in Liberty Harbor, Jersey City; the master plan and urban design for Xu Jia Hiu in Shanghai, China; and the master plan for the West Side of Manhattan and the Melrose Houses Community Center in New York City. Teaching and research
<mask> taught at the Institute for Architecture and Urban studies from 1973 until 1984 and was the Director of Educational Programs from 1981 until 1984. Later, as a Fellow of the Chicago Institute for Architecture and Urbanism (1988-1990), he refined his approach to urbanism—based on reading the plans of cities as if they were text—with a computational analysis of the Chicago plan and published it under the title The Urban Text (1992). Throughout the decade, Gandelsonas continued to apply his unique approach to urbanism on projects in several American cities including Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Des Moines, New Haven and Atlantic City. He published the results of his research in the book X-Urbanism (1999), presenting his theory on the relationship between architecture and the American City.After working as a professor at Yale University and as a guest professor at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, Gandelsonas joined the faculty at Princeton University in 1991, where he serves as a full professor and the Class of 1913 Lecturer in Architecture. In 1995, Gandelsonas developed a joint international studio with Tongji University in Shanghai. The China Studio, which continued until 2012, provided advanced graduate students from the School of Architecture the opportunity to explore another culture's architectural and urban

 existence first-hand. In 2013, he started a new joint program with the University of São Paulo incorporating design studios and research on urban infrastructure. <mask> became the first director of the Center for Architecture, Urbanism and Infrastructure (CAUI) at Princeton University in 2007 and remained in the post until 2013. With funding from Princeton University's Council for International Teaching and Research, the mission of CAUI is to build a global network of research focusing on the impact of rapid urban growth in the twenty-first century. He also published the first two CAUI books, In search of the public (2013), a collection of essays that examine the question of public space at the beginning of the twenty first century; and Garden [City] State (2013), a proposal for a slow infrastructure that takes as a case study the state of New Jersey.Currently, Gandelsonas is the Princeton University lead of the research network "Fluvial Metropolis" in partnership with the University of São Paulo, an program funded by the Council for International Teaching and Research. On July 1, 2015, he was named the acting dean of the School of Architecture, effective until December 31, 2015 as Monica Ponce de Leon assumes the role of dean on January 1, 2016. Honors and awards
Gandelsonas has lectured extensively and participated in workshops, conferences and symposiums in North, Central and South America; Europe; Asia and Australia. His work has received numerous awards including Excellence in Design Awards from both the New York State AIA and the New York City Chapter AIA. Gandelsonas received the Masterwork Award from the Municipal Art Society for the "Best Building in New York City" as well as the Society of Registered Architects NY Chapter Award of Merit.
