texts: members from other branches of the clan, namely the extended family of Marwan ibn al-Hakam in Medina and Abd Allah <mask>, the governor of Basra, protested or threatened action against the decision. Ibn Amir and the Marwanids were silenced as a result of threats of force or bribes. Yazid's relations with Ziyad remained strained and satirical poetic verses about the event were spread by Marwan's brother Abd al-Rahman. Muslim scholars generally viewed the episode as one of Mu'awiya's most disreputable actions. Realizing that Ziyad "had both the abilities and the all-important local connections to be his right-hand man in Basra", Mu'awiya appointed him governor of the province, according to the historian Hugh N. Kennedy.He entered office in June or July 665, issuing an inaugural carrot-and-stick speech to Basra's restless population. According to Hasson it was "considered a masterpiece of eloquence". Wellhausen describes it as "celebrated" and the one which was called a "[speech] without a preface" because it skipped the traditional introductions praising God and blessing the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The speech is translated as follows: Ye are putting relationship before religion, ye are excusing and sheltering your criminals, and tearing down the protecting laws sanctified by Islam. Beware of prowling by night; I will kill every one who is found at night in the streets. Beware of the arbitrary summons of relationship; I will

Hatred towards myself I do not punish, but only crime. Many who are terrified at my coming will be glad of my presence, and many who are building their hopes upon it will be undeceived. I rule you with the authority of God and care for your maintenance out of the wealth of God. From you I demand obedience, and ye can demand from me justice. In whatsoever I fall short, three things there are in which I shall not be lacking: at any time I shall be ready to listen to anyone; I shall pay you your pension at the proper time, and I shall not send you to war too far away or keep you in the field overlong. Do not let yourselves be carried away by your hatred and wrath against me ; it would go ill with you if ye did.Many heads do I see tottering; let each man see to it that his own remains on his shoulders! A number of punitive measures along the lines of those cited in his speech were taken by <mask> at the start of his term and largely gained for him the Basrans' respect. He established unprecedented levels of security in the city, its Iranian dependencies to the east, i.e. Fars and Kerman, and the Arabian Desert to the south.

 concerned more with banditry than politics, submitted to his authority. Under <mask>, Basra began to take shape as a proper Islamic city. His rule saw the crude mud bricks of the city's homes replaced by more durable baked bricks and he built a congregational mosque and residential palace.In the words of the historian Charles Pellat, <mask>, "to a certain degree, [may] be considered as the artisan of the town's prosperity". His effective rule cemented Mu'awiya's confidence in him. In the same year that <mask> was appointed to Basra, the province of Bahrayn (eastern Arabia) and its dependency, the Yamama (central Arabia), were attached to <mask>'s governorship. Viceroy of Iraq and the east
After the death of al-Mughira in 670, Kufa and its dependencies were attached to <mask>'s governorship, making him the practical viceroy over Iraq and the eastern half of the Caliphate. He was the first to serve as the dual governor of Kufa and Basra and divided his residence between the two towns. In the winter he stayed in Basra and left Amr ibn Hurayth as his deputy in Kufa, while he resided in Kufa in the summer, leaving Samura ibn Jundab as his deputy in Basra. His strong grip in Kufa marked a shift from al-Mughira's hands-off approach.A source of disturbance for him in Kufa was the agitation of the Alids, partisans of Caliph Ali, led by Hujr ibn Adi al-Kindi, who disapproved of Umayyad rule and led the first open calls for the

The latter conquered lower Tukharistan and Gharchistan and temporarily crossed the Oxus river into Transoxiana, forcing Peroz to withdraw into Tang China. Meanwhile, <mask>'s removal of dead soldiers and input of new recruits to the Iraqi army registers led to numerous tribesmen being taken off the payrolls. He dispatched 50,000 Arab soldiers and their families from Basra and Kufa to permanently settle in the Merv oasis of Khurasan. The resettlement of these troops may have been a means "to defuse possibly dangerous developments" relating to the Arab tribal influx in the two garrison towns, according to the historian Gerald Hawting. As a result, the Merv oasis became home to the largest concentration of Muslims outside of the Fertile Crescent.Al-Hakam's successor, Ghalib <mask> Allah al-Laythi, was less successful in subduing Tukharistan and Ziyad sent another of his lieutenants, Rabi <mask> al-Harithi, to stamp out the revolts in the conquered areas in 670/71. Rabi proceeded to secure the capitulation of Balkh, whose inhabitants had revolted against Arab rule, in a treaty and then destroyed the army of the Hepthalite princes in Quhistan. In 673, Rabi's son Abd Allah extended Arab rule to the western banks of the Oxus and established tributary agreements with the fortress towns of Amul and Zamm. To solidify the territorial

<mask> died in the village of al-Thawiyya near Kufa on 23 August 673. He was buried in a cemetery there that contained the graves of several Qurayshites and left an inheritance of 10,000 silver dirhams.During his governorship of Kufa in 675–678, al-Dahhak ibn Qays al-Fihri visited Ziyad's grave and recited an elegy: If nobility and Islam ever immortalized a human being,  They would certainly immortalize you. A year after his death, Mu'awiya appointed Ziyad's son Ubayd Allah as governor of Khurasan and then Basra. Under Mu'awiya's son and successor, Caliph Yazid I (), the governorship of Kufa was also handed to Ubayd Allah. Ziyad's sons Abd al-Rahman and Salm served successively as governors of Khurasan in 678–680 and 680–683/84, and two other sons, Abbad and Yazid, served successively as governors of Sijistan in 673–680/81 and 680/81. The Thaqif, which had maintained close ties with the Umayyads since the pre-Islamic era and played an integral role in the Muslim conquest of Iraq, provided the Umayyad dynasty with a series of viceroys in Iraq, including al-Mughira, <mask>, Ubayd Allah and al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf (), and the Muslim traditional sources

texts: devote more attention to them than the caliphs on whose behalf they ruled. Along with his mentor al-Mughira, Ziyad and his family were part of what "some must have seen as a Thaqafi mafia" controlling Iraq and the east, according to Kennedy. Among "the most gifted governors of the Umayyad era", Ziyad "had a good understanding of his task as governor, and had a great influence on his successors concerning the conception of the duties of rulers", according to Hasson.According to Kennedy, Ziyad's settlement of Iraqi Arab troops in Khurasan had "extremely important consequences for Islamic history" as the descendants of those settlers, who were known as ahl Khurāsān, ultimately destroyed the Umayyad Caliphate as part of the Abbasid army in 750. The execution of Hujr and his six partisans, all of whom had been prominent men in their own right, also led to deep-seated resentment among their Kufan kinsmen. The incident would serve as a harbinger for future pro-Alid risings. The death of Hujr represented the first political execution in Islamic history, and he and his companions are viewed as martyrs by Shia Muslims. Ziyad was alleged to have ordered cruel acts against some Alid partisans, including crucifixions. Interest in <mask>'s biography emerged early on among the traditional Muslim historians, with works written about him by Abu Mikhnaf (d. 774), Hisham <mask>-Kalbi (d. 819) and Abd al-<mask> Yahya al-Jaludi (d. 943). He is

 considered a highly skilled orator among Arabs, with his inaugural speech and fragments of other speeches and sayings cited in Islamic literature and Arabic rhetoric, polemics and histories.He is counted alongside Mu'awiya, al-Mughira and Amr <mask>-As, the conqueror and governor of Egypt, as one of the four duhāt (i.e. "shrewds") among the Arab statesmen of his era. According to the medieval Syrian historian Ibn Asakir (d. 1176), Ziyad had expert knowledge of the Qur'an, its tenets and Islamic jurisprudence. A medieval Basran historian, <mask> Imran al-Abdi, related that Ziyad respected and enjoyed listening to the hadiths about Umar and proclaimed about them: "This is the truth we hear! This is the sunna!" Ziyad is credited by a number of sources for transmitting sayings by the Islamic prophet Muhammad through Umar as the original transmitter. In 777 the Abbasid authorities stripped Ziyad's descendants of their status as official members of the Quraysh (the tribe to which the Umayyads and Abbasids belonged) in the dīwān rolls, which entitled them to relatively high pensions, and declared them part of Thaqif, whose members were paid less.At some point afterward, they were reinstated as Quraysh as a result of bribing government officials. Family
Ziyad had numerous wives and ummahat awlad (slave women who bore children; sing. umm walad). He had twenty sons and twenty-three daughters, most of whom were the children of ummahat

From his first wife, Mu'adha bint Sakhr of the Banu Uqayl tribe, Ziyad had four sons, including Muhammad and Abd al-Rahman, who respectively married daughters of Caliph Mu'awiya I and the latter's brother Utba. His other Arab wives were Lubaba bint Awf al-Harashiyya, the daughter of a Basran noble, whose brother Zurara was a prominent Muslim jurist and one-time qadi (Islamic head judge) of Basra on Ziyad's behalf; an unnamed daughter of al-Qa'qa' ibn Ma'bad ibn Zurara, a chieftain of the Darim clan of the Banu Tamim tribe who was credited for leading his tribe's first delegation to the Islamic prophet Muhammad; an unnamed daughter of Muhajir ibn Hakim ibn Taliq ibn Sufyan, a fifth-generation descendant of the Umayyad clan's progenitor Umayya ibn Abd Shams; and an unnamed woman from the Khuza'a tribe. Ziyad was also married for a time to a Sasanian Persian princess, Marjana (or Manjana), who mothered his son Ubayd Allah; she later remarried a Persian commander of Ziyad called Shiruyah al-Uswari.<mask>'s daughter Ramla was a wife of the Umayyad prince Umayya, son of Ziyad's deputy governor of Fars province or its Ardashir-Khurrah district and later his deputy governor of Kufa, Abdallah ibn <mask> Asid, who led Ziyad's funeral prayers and served as Kufa's governor until 675.

On June 9, 2015, it was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle that <mask> had contemplated retirement due to concerns over concussions after having suffered three in just the first two seasons of his professional career. This stunning report of <mask>'s prospective early retirement was indeed distressing news to a 49ers fan base still smarting from the recent exodus of multiple players, including the surprise retirements of Chris Borland and Anthony Davis.<mask> immediately denied that he had ever seriously considered retirement, stating that his comments were taken "out of context" by reporter <mask>.

With Tartt now the starting strong safety, <mask> was moved to a hybrid safety/linebacker role after linebacker Navorro Bowman was granted a release and Malcolm Smith suffered a season-ending pectoral injury. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said the move was in response to having three starting-caliber safeties and getting the best 11 players on the field together.On October 22, 2017, he debuted in his new role and recorded four solo tackles in a 40–10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The following week, free safety Jimmie Ward suffered a fractured forearm during a 33–10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. This prompted the San Francisco 49ers' coaching staff to move Jaquiski Tartt to Ward's free safety role and move <mask> back to his strong safety position.

Trump, who publicly condemned the kneeling protests and urged that the protesting players be fired, had private conversations with NFL owners about the player protests during the time period.Team owners have said they are concerned about being in conflict with Trump in regards to the anthem protests. During a job interview with  Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown, <mask> reportedly refused to say whether he would obey a rule against kneeling during the anthem. In <mask>'s introductory press conference with the Panthers on September 27, 2018, he wore a shirt that supported Kaepernick and stated that his collusion lawsuit would still proceed unimpeded. David Tepper, the new owner of the Panthers, was not named in the lawsuit since he was not yet a team owner when it was filed. Tepper also had been quite outspoken with his remarks about President Trump in the recent past and was more open to players expressing themselves and protesting than the rest of the team owners. Nonetheless, the Panthers organization said the <mask> signing was football-oriented only. When asked by reporters during the press conference about plans to protest now that he had signed with a new team, <mask> did not answer the questions and cited the fact that the information pertained to his grievance.<mask> did not directly say that he would no longer kneel prior to games but stated that he was "considering other ways" of protesting. In his season debut on October 7, 2018 at home in Charlotte against the Giants, he took a knee prior to the game. By the

His brother, <mask>, is a safety who was picked by the Houston Texans in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Since <mask> decided to protest with Colin Kaepernick in the 2016 NFL season, the two have been collaborating to address social justice issues and help communities and people in need.During his introductory press conference with the Panthers on September 27, 2018, <mask> said that the Players Coalition, which is seemingly devoted to addressing several issues he is focusing on, is an "NFL-funded subversion group" and that he and Kaepernick would continue going their separate ways from the coalition.

texts: <mask> (July 4, 1802 – September 8, 1867) was the 18th and 24th governor of the U.S. Commonwealth of Kentucky, although his service in that office totaled less than fourteen months. He also represented Hardin County in both houses of the Kentucky General Assembly and was chosen to be the Speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives four times. In 1838, his sole bid for federal office ended in defeat when his opponent, Willis Green, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. <mask> was first elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1826; between 1826 and 1843 he served eleven one-year terms in the state house. In 1844, he was elected to the state senate, where he served continuously until he was chosen as the Whig Party nominee for lieutenant governor on a ticket with <mask>. Crittenden, famous for the Crittenden Compromise. The Whigs won the general election and <mask> was elevated to governor on July 31, 1850, when Crittenden resigned to accept an appointment as United States Attorney General in President Millard Fillmore's cabinet. After his service as governor <mask> became president of the struggling Louisville and Nashville Railroad.He invested thousands of dollars of his own money in the project and convinced residents along the line's main route to buy stock in the company. In 1859, the line was completed, but the next year <mask> resigned over of differences with the board of directors regarding a proposed branch that would extend the line to Memphis, Tennessee. Although he openly opposed secession during the American Civil War, federal military forces labeled <mask> a Confederate sympathizer. In September 1862, he was arrested for this alleged sympathy, but Governor James F. Robinson recognized him as he was being transported to a prison in Louisville and had him released. After the war <mask> identified with the Democratic Party, and in 1865, Hardin County voters returned him to the state senate. In 1867, he was the

 state's Democratic candidate for governor. Despite his failing health, <mask> made a vigorous canvass of the state and won the general election.He was too weak to travel to Frankfort for his inauguration, so state officials administered the oath of office at his home on September 3, 1867. He died five days later. Early life
In 1780, <mask>'s grandfather, <mask>, emigrated to Kentucky from Prince William County, Virginia and founded the settlement of Helm Station near Elizabethtown, Kentucky in Hardin County, where <mask><mask> was born on July 4, 1802. He was the eldest of nine children born to George B<mask>, a farmer and politician, and <mask> <mask>, a descendant of a prominent local pioneer family. Helm attended the area's public schools and studied with noted educator Duff Green. When Helm was 14 his father fell on hard financial times and Helm returned to work on the family farm.In 1818, he took a better-paying job in the office of Samuel Haycraft, the circuit court clerk of Hardin County. While there he read law with Haycraft, then entered the law office of Ben Tobin in 1821. At about this time, <mask>'s father traveled to Texas to enter into business and rebuild his finances, but he died there in 1822, leaving <mask> responsible for his mother and siblings. He was admitted to the bar in 1823, the same year Meade County, Kentucky was formed. There were no lawyers in the county yet, so although <mask> continued living in Hardin County he was made Meade's county attorney. His practice grew rapidly and he was soon able to pay off his father's debts and purchase the Helm homestead. Between 1832 and 1840, he built "Helm Place" on this land and it remained his home for the rest of his life.In 1823, <mask> called on Representative Benjamin Hardin. While Hardin and <mask> discussed business, Hardin's 14-year-old daughter, <mask>, entered the room to show her father a map she had drawn. <mask> later claimed it was love at first sight, and began to pursue

 <mask>'s affections. They courted for seven years, married in 1830 and had six daughters and five sons together. One of his sons, Benjamin Hardin <mask>, was a Confederate general in the Civil War and was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga. Political career

The major political issue in Kentucky during <mask>'s legal training was the Old Court-New Court controversy. Reeling from the  panic of 1819, Kentuckians had demanded debt relief.In response, the Kentucky General Assembly passed an act that granted debtors a grace period of two years in repaying their debts unless their creditors would accept payment in the devalued notes of the Bank of the Commonwealth. The Kentucky Court of Appeals struck down the law, claiming it was in violation of the Contract Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The angered legislature attempted to impeach the justices on the Court of Appeals, but lacked the necessary two-thirds majority. Instead, they abolished the Court of Appeals and replaced it with a new court, which was stocked with more sympathetic justices by pro-relief governor <mask>ir. Both courts claimed to be Kentucky's court of last resort. Throughout 1825, <mask> made speeches and distributed pamphlets in Hardin and surrounding counties, espousing the Old Court position. In 1826, he campaigned as a Whig for a seat in the Kentucky House of Representatives.<mask> won the election, and at the age of twenty-four became one of the youngest members to serve in the Kentucky General Assembly. An Old Court majority was elected to both houses of the General Assembly in 1826, which then passed legislation abolishing the New Court. <mask> was re-elected to the state House in 1827 and 1830, and was re-elected every year from 1833 to 1837. He served as Speaker of the House in 1835 and 1836. In 1837, there was a three-way race for speaker between <mask>, James Turner Morehead and Robert P<mask>. After nine ballots, <mask> withdrew and <mask> was elected speaker. <mask> made his

 only run for federal office in 1838 and was defeated by Willis Green for a seat in the United States House of Representatives.He returned to the Kentucky House in 1839 and was re-elected in 1842 and 1843, serving as Speaker of the House both years. In 1843, the Kentucky General Assembly proposed to create a new county from part of Hardin County and name it Helm County in honor of <mask><mask>. Because of the few dissenting votes on this question, <mask> declined the honor and proposed instead that the county be called LaRue County after his mother's family, many of whom still lived in the proposed county. <mask>'s suggestion was unanimously adopted. Lieutenant governor and governor

In 1844, <mask> was elected to the Kentucky Senate, where he served until 1848. That year he was the Whig candidate for lieutenant governor on a ticket with <mask>. Crittenden. <mask> defeated Democrat <mask> Martin in the general election.The major political question in the state during <mask>'s time as lieutenant governor was whether to adopt a new state constitution. As a state senator in 1848, <mask> had voted to allow the state's citizens to decide the matter in a referendum, but after seeing the document produced by the constitutional convention, he opposed its ratification. In an address to the state senate in 1850, he declared, "I was for reform, and not for revolution. I was for amending the Constitution, and not for obliterating every vital principle in contained." He especially opposed creating an elective judiciary. His antagonism to the constitution put him at odds with his father-in-law, Benjamin Hardin. The two did not reconcile until 1852, as Hardin lay on his deathbed.The new constitution was adopted in 1850 and in June of that year <mask> encouraged the people to accept it. Governor Crittenden resigned on July 31, 1850 to accept President Millard Fillmore's appointment as attorney general, and <mask> ascended to the governorship. As governor, <mask> vetoed

 a legislative plan to cover deficits in the public school fund by drawing money from the state's sinking fund, but the General Assembly overrode the veto. He urged the legislature to fund a survey of the state's mineral reserves and a census of the state's agricultural and manufacturing resources. He called for spending on internal improvements and for raising judges' salaries to attract more qualified jurists to the bench. He also sought a ban on the carrying of concealed deadly weapons. The legislature did not act on any of these proposed reforms.The only part of <mask>'s agenda that did progress through the General Assembly was election reform. President of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad

<mask> was a presidential elector for Winfield Scott in the 1852 presidential election. After this he took twelve years off from politics. As early as 1836, <mask> had advocated the construction of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. On October 2, 1854, he became the railroad's second president. The previous president had been forced out of that position after a disagreement with Louisville's board of aldermen, and construction of the line had almost been abandoned. Helm worked diligently to convince residents along the line's main route of the economic benefits it would bring.He persuaded many of them to help clear and grade land for the line and accept company stock as payment, and succeeded in selling stock subscriptions to people in the same area. Rising labor costs and troubles transporting materials raised expenses far above the projected budget, and at one point <mask> personally redeemed $20,000 ($ as of ) of the company's bonds. Meanwhile, some observers accused <mask> of mismanaging the company. The company's fortunes improved in 1857 when the city of Louisville provided $300,000 ($ as of ) in financial aid and the line was completed on October 18, 1859. Due to <mask>'s influence, the railroad's charter required all trains traveling through

 Elizabethtown to stop there. By the time the line was finished, there were public calls from inside and outside the company for <mask> to resign, mostly because of his support for a proposed Memphis branch of the railroad. To complete the branch, the Louisville and Nashville would have to complete a line from Bowling Green to Guthrie, Kentucky.There it would join a line owned by the Memphis and Ohio Railroad that began across the state line at Clarksville, Tennessee and extended to Memphis. Supporters believed the branch would economically help both Louisville and Memphis and would lessen their dependence on trade along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Opponents argued that the project was simply a ploy to whip up new support for the struggling railroad. <mask> endorsed the Memphis branch in his annual report in 1857. On February 4, 1860, two members of the company's board of directors wrote a letter requesting <mask>'s resignation; they claimed they had voted for his re-election as president of the company with the understanding that he would resign when the main line between Louisville and Nashville was finished. <mask> maintained that he felt an obligation to the citizens of Logan County – many of whom he had personally sold stock to – to remain president until the Memphis branch through their county was built. The rift between <mask> and the directors continued to widen, however.<mask> resigned on February 21, 1860, and was replaced by James Guthrie. The Memphis branch was completed on September 24, 1860. Civil War and second term as governor

On January 8, 1861 <mask> chaired a meeting in Louisville that advocated for Kentucky's neutrality in the Civil War. <mask> was an outspoken opponent of secession, but also denounced the election of <mask> and his use of military force to subdue the southern states. Because <mask> did not condemn his son, Benjamin, for joining the Confederate Army, federal authorities classified him as a southern sympathizer.

texts: After learning of the arrest of former governor Charles S. Morehead by federal authorities, <mask> fled to Bowling Green, fearing his own arrest. Through the intervention of Warner Underwood he was able to return home on the condition that he swear an oath of allegiance to the Constitution.Nevertheless, federal soldiers repeatedly entered his home, encouraging his slaves to abandon him, and consuming or destroying his crops. Because the state's courts were closed on account of the war, he was unable to earn a living by practicing law. In short order, his once-substantial fortune was expended, and he resorted to borrowing money to support his family. In September 1862, <mask> and several other citizens from Hardin County were arrested by Colonel Knox. After several days of confinement in Elizabethtown the prisoners were conducted to Louisville. By chance, Kentucky governor James F. Robinson recognized <mask> in the group and negotiated with General Jeremiah Boyle to get him released. Shortly after returning home, <mask> learned of Benjamin's death at the Battle of Chickamauga.After the war <mask> identified with the Democratic Party, and he returned to the state senate in 1865. During his tenure he chaired the Committee on Federal Relations and fought against punitive and restrictive laws against ex-Confederates. On January 22, 1866, he presented to the state senate a protest against the actions of the United States Congress during the Civil War. It denounced the Reconstruction Amendments on the grounds that they granted powers to the federal government that were reserved for the states, and that they were passed while many southern states were not represented in Congress. He also decried the creation and operation of the Freedmen's Bureau. On January 29, 1867, <mask> introduced legislation to organize a meeting in Louisville to rally support for President <mask> and his efforts to restore the Union.

He won the general election over Republican Sidney Barnes and a third party candidate, Judge William B. Kinkead. The strenuous campaign took a decisive toll on <mask>'s already weakened body.

<mask> OBE (27 September 1900 – 12 September 1977), born Israel Gotfryd, was musical director of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company for 39 years, from 1929 to 1968. He conducted most of the company's performances during that period, except for a few London seasons when Malcolm Sargent was guest conductor and brief periods in the summers of 1947 and 1948 when Boyd Neel filled in as guest conductor. <mask> led the company in numerous tours, both domestic and foreign, during his tenure, and he conducted most of the company's recordings over that long period. Widely admired and well-liked, <mask> trained at the Guildhall School of Music in piano while working as an accompanist in London. He joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company as chorus master and assistant musical director of one of its touring companies in 1925, and in 1929 took over as musical director on the retirement of Harry Norris. Thereafter, his entire career was with D'Oyly Carte. He conducted and recorded all eleven of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, plus Cox and Box, that were performed by the company at the time.From the 1930s, he conducted several broadcasts of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas by the BBC, relayed live from the Savoy Theatre. In June 1965 <mask> was awarded the OBE, and in 1966, he conducted a film version of The Mikado, one of only a few films ever made by the company. He retired from the D'Oyly Carte company in 1968. He was married three times, for the longest period to Ann Drummond-Grant, a company principal who died in 1959. Life and career
<mask> was born in London as Israel Gotfryd, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants Manas Gotfryd (1858–1934), a hairdresser, and Frymet ("Fanny"), née Wontroba (born 1871); originally from Płock, the family Anglicised their surname to <mask>, the parents becoming naturalised British subjects in 1905. He had older sisters Annie, a violinist (born 1888) and Flora, an actress as "Freda <mask>" (1889–1980), and a younger brother David (born

 1909). <mask> was educated at The Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, then in Hampstead.There he enjoyed studying science. As a small child, he first studied the violin but soon preferred the piano. He studied the piano under George Woodhouse, a pupil of Theodor Leschetizky, and in 1914 made a public appearance, at the age of 13, playing in a joint recital at the Bechstein Hall given by Woodhouse's pupils. <mask> subsequently trained at the Guildhall School of Music in the piano under George B. Aitken (composer of  "Maire, my girl"). At the school, he won prizes for ensemble playing, the school's Gold Medal for piano, the annual Mercers' Scholarship and later the Chappel Piano Company Prize. He briefly studied conducting under Julius Harrison near the end of his training. While still a student, he performed as an accompanist in London, sometimes playing for his sister when she performed on the violin at theatres and music halls.Early career
On the recommendation of the Guildhall School's principal, Sir Landon Ronald, <mask> joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company as chorus master and assistant musical director of its smaller touring company in April 1925. He moved to the main company in May 1926 and in 1929 took over as musical director on the retirement of Harry Norris. Thereafter, his entire career was with D'Oyly Carte. A rare exception to touring with the company came in December 1932, when he shared the conducting with Sir Thomas Beecham at a royal charity matinée before King George V and Queen Mary. In the same month, <mask> conducted the first complete broadcast of a Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Yeomen of the Guard, on Christmas Eve 1932, relayed live from the Savoy Theatre by the BBC. <mask> conducted all the extant Gilbert and Sullivan operas plus Cox and Box, in performance and for recordings, except Utopia Limited and The Grand Duke, though he recorded excerpts from the former. (Rupert D'Oyly Carte had considered reviving Utopia in the 1920s,

 but abandoned the idea as too expensive.)<mask> conducted most of the company's performances during his four decades as musical director, except for a few London seasons, when Malcolm Sargent was guest conductor, and brief periods in the summers of 1947 and 1948, when Boyd Neel was guest conductor. <mask>'s assistant musical directors included Alan E. Ward (1930–49), William Cox-Ife (1951–61) and James Walker (1961–68). During <mask>'s long reign as musical director, he conducted artists who had worked under the direction of W. S. Gilbert, such as Henry Lytton, Leo Sheffield and Sydney Granville, and those who were performing at the last night of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1982, such as John Reed and Kenneth Sandford. In his early years in charge, <mask>, with Rupert D'Oyly Carte's backing, gradually cut down the number of encores routinely given at the company's performances. The stars and the audiences both resisted, but <mask> eventually made progress, particularly after the outbreak of World War II, when it was important to keep running times down to a reasonable length. Touring and later years
During his four decades as musical director, <mask> took the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company on many tours, including eleven to America. The company did not travel with a band but instead used orchestra players hired locally.He recalled, "We would pick up perhaps eight orchestral players in the first town, take them with us on the tour and make up the orchestra with local players from each of the towns we visited....  On one occasion, I was rehearsing the Mikado overture when I noticed that one of the double-basses was plucking the strings in the opening bars. I pointed out that it was not to be played pizzicato but arco, with the bow. 'Yeah', he said. 'But I haven't got a bow.' That's how it was sometimes!" In wartime Britain, the orchestral situation on tour sometimes verged on collapse. <mask>'s weekly reports to the company office in London included wry

 accounts of drummers in Oxford who could not read music, a nervous cellist in Liverpool who played on three strings at once and a bass player in Wimbledon who took a night off and sent an inebriated substitute.Even in peacetime <mask> was not lavishly provided for in the orchestra pit. In the 1950s, the magazine The Gramophone commented: "Whenever Mr. <mask> <mask> enters the orchestra pit to direct an opera by Sullivan, to whose music he has devoted much of his life, he must presumably steel his aesthetic sense to doing justice to the composer with the tiny forces at his disposal. ... One presumes that an opera company with a repertory of ten operas, playing to capacity without expensive stars and only repairs to scenery and costumes and with royalties pouring in from all over the country, could afford a permanent orchestra of reasonable strength." In June 1965 <mask> was awarded the OBE; The Gramophone commented that "nothing short of a dukedom" could adequately reward him. In 1966, he conducted a film version of The Mikado, one of only a few films ever made by the company. He retired from the D'Oyly Carte company in February 1968 and was succeeded as musical director by his deputy, James Walker, formerly of Decca Records. <mask> married two members of the company – first, a soprano chorister, Marguerite Kynaston, about 1919 (they later divorced), and, in 1940, the soprano (later contralto) principal Ann Drummond-Grant.After Drummond-Grant died in 1959, <mask> married a third time, in 1961, to Glenda Gladys Mary née Cleaver. After retirement, when he held the honorary position of President of the associate members of the D'Oyly Carte Trust, ill-health prevented him from making many guest appearances, but he conducted H.M.S. Pinafore during the company's centenary season at the Savoy in 1975. <mask> died in London in 1977 just short of his 77th birthday. Reputation

 their essential joie de vivre. As early as 1926, Malcolm Sargent joining the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company found "a brilliant young assistant named <mask> <mask> whom I realised at once was made of the right stuff for Sullivan". In the 1930s, Neville Cardus praised <mask>'s musicianship and commanding presence, adding, "Mr <mask> deserves a bigger band":

Mr <mask> <mask> approaches his evening's labours with an imperious gesture; he swings round, and with a comprehensive eye reduces even a Gilbert and Sullivan audience to silence for an overture – a very remarkable feat of hypnotism.And then Mr <mask>'s baton attacks the score, as though about to plunge us into Götterdämmerung with his thin Falstaff's army of an orchestra....  Mr <mask> by sheer force seems to draw some sonority out of his pitifully inadequate instrumental forces; Toscanini could do no more. In the 1960s, Philip Hope-Wallace of The Guardian spoke of "the animation, command and sheer genius for keeping things up to the mark of this most devoted servant of the tradition." Of a 1964 performance of Iolanthe at New York City Center, the New York Herald Tribune reported, "The carrot thatch we have loved all these years has now burnished to a silver gold alloy but it could have been dark green for all we cared. What really mattered was that [<mask>] was there ... and that the Company was in superb condition, the best that it has been in for years." The New York Times concurred, "<mask> <mask>, happily a fixture in the pit, leads the overture with a respect and affection for its delicacies and that is the fashion in which he orders the musical side of the entire performance." "If ever a knighthood were deserved in the cause of true musical devotion, it is here", wrote the critic Ivan March in The Great Records. In 2007 The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music praised him as "inimitable".A dissenting voice was the critic Rodney Milnes, who spoke of <mask>'s recordings as "leaden, lumpen and

Members of the company from Leslie Rands in the 1920s to John Reed in the 1960s praised <mask> – known to company members as "Goddie" – for his musicianship and friendliness. Recordings
<mask>'s first recording with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company was the 1933 The Sorcerer highlights for HMV, followed by his first complete opera, The Mikado in 1936. When the company returned to the recording studio after World War II, <mask> conducted a series of eleven complete recordings from 1949–55 for Decca, comprising all the Gilbert and Sullivan operas in its repertory. From 1957–66, the company re-recorded its full repertory for Decca, this time in stereo, adding the first professional recording of Cox and Box and highlights from Utopia, Limited. <mask> once again conducted the entire series, except for Princess Ida and The Yeomen of the Guard, for which Sir Malcolm Sargent was guest conductor. His final recordings for the company were a film of The Mikado in 1966 and the company's second stereo recording of The Pirates of Penzance in 1968.Notes

title: John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond

texts:
<mask> of Brittany (; c. 1266 – 17 January 1334), 4th Earl of Richmond, was an English nobleman and a member of the Ducal house of Brittany, the House of Dreux. He entered royal service in England under his uncle Edward I, and also served Edward II. On 15 October 1306 he received his father's title of Earl of Richmond. He was named Guardian of Scotland in the midst of England's conflicts with Scotland and in 1311 Lord Ordainer during the baronial rebellion against Edward II. <mask> of Brittany served England as a soldier and as a diplomat but was otherwise politically inactive in comparison to other earls of his time. He was a capable diplomat, valued by both Edward I and Edward II for his negotiating skills. <mask> was never married, and upon his death his title and estates fell to his nephew, <mask>, Duke of Brittany.Although he was generally loyal to his first cousin Edward II during the times of baronial rebellion, he eventually supported the coup of Isabella and Mortimer. After Edward II abdicated in favour of his son Edward III of England, <mask> retired to his estates in France and died in his native Brittany in 1334 with no known issue. Early life
<mask> was the second surviving son of <mask>, Duke of Brittany, and his wife Beatrice, who together had three sons and three daughters who survived to adulthood. Beatrice was the daughter of Henry III of England, which made <mask> the nephew of Henry's son and heir Edward I. His father held the title of Earl of Richmond, but was little involved in English political affairs. <mask> was raised at the English court together with Edward I's son Henry, who died in 1274. He participated in tournaments in his youth, but never distinguished himself in his early roles as a soldier.Service to Edward I
When in 1294 the French king confiscated King Edward's Duchy of Aquitaine, <mask> travelled to France as the lieutenant of the Duchy, but failed to take Bordeaux. During Easter of 1295 he had to flee the town of Rions. In

 January 1297 he shared defeat at the Siege of Bellegarde with Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln. After this defeat, he returned to England. Despite his poor results in France he remained highly regarded by his uncle King Edward I, who treated him almost as a son. After his return to England <mask> became involved in the Scottish Wars. He was probably at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298.He was certainly at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300. The nobles who joined Edward I at the Siege of Caerlaverock, including <mask> of Brittany, were commemorated in the Roll of Caerlaverock which named each noble and described their banner. In this roll, the banner and description of <mask> of Brittany immediately follows that of his uncle King Edward I. His father, the Duke of Brittany, died in 1305, and was succeeded as duke by <mask>'s elder brother, Arthur. The following year Edward I invested <mask> with his father's other title, Earl of Richmond. In addition Edward I appointed him Guardian of Scotland, a position which was confirmed upon the accession of Edward II in 1307. Service to Edward II
The English court viewed <mask> of Brittany as a trusted diplomat.He was a skilled negotiator, and his French connections were a useful asset. By 1307 he was also one of the kingdom's oldest earls. As the relationship between Edward II and his nobility deteriorated, <mask> remained loyal to the king; in 1309 he went on an embassy to Pope Clement V on behalf of Edward's favourite Piers Gaveston. <mask> was allegedly Gaveston's close personal friend, and did not share the antagonistic attitudes held by certain other earls. Lord Ordainers

By 1310 the relationship between Edward II and his earls had deteriorated to the point where a committee of earls took control of government from the king. The earls disobeyed a royal order not to carry arms to parliament, and in full military attire presented a demand to the king for the appointment of a commission of reform. At the heart of the deteriorating

 situation was the peers' opinion of Edward II's relationship with Piers Gaveston, and his reputedly outrageous behaviour.On 16 March 1310, the king agreed to the appointment of Ordainers, who were to be in charge of the reform of the royal household. <mask> of Brittany was one of eight earls appointed to this committee of 21, referred to as the Lords Ordainers. He was among the Ordainers considered loyal to Edward II and was also by this time one of the older remaining earls. <mask> then travelled to France for diplomatic negotiations, before returning to England. Gaveston was exiled by the Ordainers but later made an irregular return. Gaveston was killed in June 1312 by Thomas of Lancaster and other nobles. It fell upon <mask>, together with Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, to reconcile the two parties after this event.In 1313 he followed Edward II on a state visit to France, and thereafter generally remained a trusted subject. In 1318 he witnessed the Treaty of Leake, which restored Edward to full power. War with Scotland
In 1320 he again accompanied Edward II to France, and the next year he carried out peace negotiations with the Scots. When in 1322 Thomas of Lancaster rebelled and was defeated at the Battle of Boroughbridge, <mask> was present at his trial, and when Lancaster was sentenced to death. After this, the English invaded Scotland only to have their army starved when Robert the Bruce burned the country before them. The Bruce brought his army into England and crossed the Solway Firth in the west, making his way in a south-easterly direction towards Yorkshire; he brought many troops recruited in Argyll and the Isles. The boldness and speed of the attack soon exposed Edward II to danger, even in his own land.On his return from Scotland, the king had taken up residence at Rievaulx Abbey with Queen Isabella. His peace was interrupted when the Scots made a sudden and unexpected approach in mid-October. All that stood between them and a royal prize was a

 large English force under the command of <mask> of Brittany. <mask> had taken up a position on Scawton Moor, between Rievaulx and Byland Abbey. To dislodge <mask> from his strong position on the high ground, Bruce used the same tactics that brought victory at the earlier Battle of the Pass of Brander. As Moray and Douglas charged uphill a party of Highlanders scaled the cliffs on the English flanks and charged downhill into <mask> of Brittany's rearguard. Resistance crumbled, and the Battle of Old Byland turned into a rout.<mask> himself was taken prisoner and given a tongue lashing by King Robert the Bruce for his treatment of the Scottish Queen while she was an English prisoner. <mask> remained in captivity until 1324, when he was released for a ransom of 14,000 marks. After his release, he continued his diplomatic activities in Scotland and France. Final years
In March 1325 <mask> of Brittany made a final return to France, where for the first time he made himself a clear opponent of Edward II. His lands in England were confiscated by the Crown. In France, <mask> aligned himself with Queen Isabella, Edward II's wife, who had been sent on a diplomatic mission to France, and had disobeyed her husband's orders to return to England. Later when Edward II was forced to abdicate and his son Edward III ascended to the English throne, <mask> of Brittany's English lands were restored.He spent his last years on his French estates, and he remained largely cut off from English political affairs. He died on 17 January 1334, and was buried in the church of the Franciscans in Nantes. <mask> of Brittany never married and as far as is known had no issue. He was succeeded as Earl of Richmond by his nephew <mask> (Arthur's son). Notes

George Sydney Aldridge, another brother, was for many years Chairman of the Adelaide Stock Exchange. Clerk for Way in 1866? In August 1876 he was appointed Commissioner for taking affidavits in the Supreme Court.In March 1879 Charles Mann took him on as partner, styled as Mann & Whitby; <mask> representing the firm in Jamestown. <mask> is remembered for two his involvement in two quite public altercations:
It was reported that on the evening of Thursday 11 May 1882, solicitor A. K<mask> horsewhipped one E. J. Eyre, for sending a report to The Advertiser of Terowie Police Court proceedings in which <mask> was the defendant. The facts of the case were somewhat more prosaic: The Clerk of the Court, Edmund John Eyre, laid an information against <mask>, who was no teetotaller, for using indecent language, but before the case was heard, <mask> apologized to Eyre, who agreed to withdraw the information if Whitby paid the court costs. A few days later, a report appeared in The Advertiser, and <mask>, having found out that Eyre's son had furnished the report, procured a horsewhip, and "chastised him accordingly", young Eyre retaliating with his fists. Both men emerged from the affray little the worse for the encounter. Edmund John Eyre (14 March 1825 – 1 December 1892) was baptised in Strood, Kent, a son of Daniel Eyre (c. 1778– c. 1855) and arrived in South Australia c. 1851.

He also served as Health Officer 1855–1857. He then started in business as a flour merchant. His brother Daniel Eyre (died 1862) joined him in August 1857 by which time he was insolvent. Inundations of his Port Adelaide property resulted in substantial losses and his brother's illness took him away from the business and he was forced to plead insolvency.He was appointed Crown Lands Ranger sometime before June 1862. In 1874 he was appointed Clerk at the Local Court at Jamestown, which included duties at Peterborough and Terowie. In 1878 he was again forced to plead insolvency. He died at Peterborough while on Court business. One report has him distantly related to the famous explorer. D. C. F. Moodie and his wife Matilda, née Hunt, were at one stage on friendly terms with <mask>. In 1880 Moodie had become famous for having on 12 June 1880 thrashed A. T. Clark MLC, proprietor of the Williamstown Advertiser, for a libel on Queen Victoria published in his paper.On his return on 3 August 1880 he found that <mask> had given advice to Mrs. Moodie regarding separation from her husband, who was known to be violent towards her. Moodie promptly sought out the lawyer at Aldridge's Prince Alfred Hotel and in front of witnesses knocked him to the floor. For this assault he was fined £5. He died without fanfare: a week before he had become ill and he was taken to Miss Tibbits's Hospital, where he received all attention possible, attended by his lifelong friend Charles Aldridge, and died on Saturday morning at the age of 54. His remains were buried in the North-road Cemetery. E. B<mask>

<mask>  (May 3, 1932, Vancouver – June 9, 2005) was an academic and community leader whose work shaped the city and region of Vancouver. Professor Emeritus <mask>  was involved in public life in British Columbia at the civic, regional, provincial, national and international levels. His longest service to the Province was through his teaching and scholarship; he taught in the Department of Geography at the University of British Columbia(UBC) for over thirty years. He is the father of current Vancouver City Councilor <mask>. Academia: early years

As a young geography professor in 1962, Hardwick made news discussing the plight of students living in substandard conditions due to the city's zoning policy against secondary suites in the area adjacent to the University Endowment Lands. Based on survey data that nearly a quarter of UBC's students were living in that area, he recommend it be rezoned to accommodate them. He was part of a team of professors who assisted UBC President John B. Macdonald in the production of his influential report, "Higher Education in British Columbia and a Plan for the Future," published in 1962.<mask> had suggested Burnaby as the site of the future Simon Fraser University and later got into a public dispute with SFU's president on what the building cost should be; he stated that the target of the fundraising campaign was double what it needed to be. The B.C. Educational Research Council, a central agency to promote, finance and report on education research around the province, named <mask> as its first permanent director in 1964. With his brother David F<mask> he established Tantalus Research Ltd.

Civic planning and politics

Hardwick significantly shaped the city and metropolitan region of Vancouver. In 1964, he conducted the first survey of its kind on the reasons for success or failure of downtown businesses. The evidence he

In a speech to a downtown business group, he outlined the steps needed to revitalize the city's failing core: expand office-type employment; increase residential density near the core; build facilities to attract tourists and conventions; create a climate favourable to the establishment of finance and banking head offices, stock exchanges and commercial enterprises.In the late 1960s, he helped to organize a successful movement against the proposed freeway through the Vancouver, a scheme planned in relative secrecy at the time by the City and the Province. Following the defeat of the freeway proposal, he was a founding member of "The Electors' Action Movement" (TEAM) and was elected to Vancouver City Council under that banner for three terms in 1968, 1970 and 1972. While at the city, he helped to transform its decision making processes with more public involvement for major planning decisions. Hardwick played a pivotal advisory role in the city's redevelopment of Granville Island.<mask> chaired the city committee planning the redevelopment of the south shore of False Creek from an industrial area to a residential district of about 10,000 people, with the emphasis on access by foot and transit rather than cars. Plans included a public marina to be run by the park board. The innovative model neighbourhood became world famous and has held steady to the present day. <mask> was both chair of the Urban Studies Committee at UBC and a Vancouver alderman when the city committed funds to the Inter-Institutional Policy Simulator (IIPS) project.He opposed it as a drain on university research funds and as a dangerous precedent for city planning which could present data to suit any bias. He won some concessions

 at city hall including “a reappraisal of the entire project by all parties in 1972; open access to all data gathered, and a promise from the city administration that IIPS wouldn’t be used as an excuse to delay planning decisions.”

Despite an interest in politics and political processes, he decided not to run for a fourth term as alderman. After city council

In 1973 Hardwick published "Vancouver Urban Futures," a detailed survey for the Greater Vancouver Regional District that captured the opinions and interests of Greater Vancouver residents on a range of economic, social, mobility and lifestyle issues. The survey was instrumental in setting new Regional Growth planning policies. In 1990 he completed a similar follow up study "Creating Our Future" to compare the results and to offer policy makers further insight into the priorities and concerns of Greater Vancouver residents. In 1975, <mask> was appointed Director of Continuing Education at UBC, a post he relinquished in 1976 to serve as deputy to Minister of Education Pat McGeer in the Social Credit government of Bill Bennett. In that capacity, he ruled against Surrey School Board in its dispute with the Surrey Teachers Association, whose members opposed the establishment of a “value school,” citing the board’s lack of jurisdiction to do so under the School Act.A major focus as deputy minister was to expand post-secondary options in the province's interior. <mask> was appointed to head the board of the newly-created Knowledge Network of the West in 1980. “’Everything carried on the network must be backed up by study guides, texts and tutors offered by the post-secondary institutions or the Open Learning Institute,’ says Hardwick. ‘We’re an educational and instructional network, not public broadcasting.’”  Hardwick pushed for Vancouver to become headquarters of a Commonwealth-wide open university

 network. From 1986 to 1990 he served on, and chaired (1990), the National Capital Commission, with a mandate related to the planning of Canada's historic capital city of Ottawa, Ontario. Recognition

In 1977, <mask> was awarded the Order of British Columbia for his contributions on civic, regional, provincial, national and international levels. In 2000 he was recognized with an honorary degree from UBC.A UBC Urban Geography Award and scholarship was established in his name: The <mask><mask> Scholarship in Urban Studies. In 2006, a new east-west street in Vancouver's Olympic Village neighbourhood was named Walter Hardwick Avenue. In dedicating their 2007 book, City Making in Paradise: Nine Decisions that Saved Vancouver to Hardwick's memory, authors Mike Harcourt, Ken Cameron and Sean Rossiter wrote that "Harwick's presence permeated many of the decisions we identified as being critical to the Greater Vancouver region's livability".
