In 2012, Penang state UMNO Youth Chief accused the Penang state government of breaking the law in selling the Bayan Mutiara land to developer Ivory Property Group Berhad without subdividing the land. He also claimed that the state government sold the land without open tender and made no provision for mosques. However, <mask> Eng showed evidence that it has been sold via open tender and thus explained that the developer would only do the subdividing when it submits development plans for the 41.5-ha real estate project to the Penang Municipal Council.The developer had clarified that land for the mosque and school has been allocated and adhered to the town planning regulation after the new plans and subdivision of title has been submitted.

 practicing double standard in his stand for bringing spouse in official trip. Penang MCA Secretary, Lau Chiek Tan said "Previously, <mask> had criticised Barisan Nasional leaders for wasting public funds by bringing their families with them on official trips. We now see Pakatan Rakyat leaders doing the same with this trip to China." In 2014, he was criticized for swapping his two-month-old Toyota Camry official car for a new Mercedes-Benz S300L. Netizens and NGOs commented that he did not practise what he preached because in 2008 he had condemned the Terengganu State Government for buying a fleet of Mercedes-Benz cars as its official cars. The Barisan Nasional MP for Kota Belud, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, accused <mask> of being "hypocritical".<mask> defended his decision, saying that he had bought the car at a discounted price.

title: Jeffrey Hamm

texts:
<mask> (15 September 1915 – 4 May 1992) was a leading British fascist and supporter of Oswald Mosley. Although a minor figure in Mosley's prewar British Union of Fascists, <mask> became a leading figure after the Second World War and eventually succeeded as leader of the Union Movement after Mosley's retirement. Early life
<mask> was born in Ebbw Vale, Wales, whilst his father was serving in the First World War. The family later relocated to Monmouth. It has been claimed that he first became attracted to the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1934 on a trip to London, when he chanced upon a party member delivering a speech and was impressed. British Union of Fascists
He joined the BUF in 1935 when he relocated to London to take up a teaching role at King's School, Harrow. A young member, Hamm did not rise above the rank and file in the BUF.In 1939 he moved to the Falkland Islands to work as a teacher, where that he was arrested in 1940 under Defence Regulation 18B after he had been accused of encouraging fascism to his pupils. He was transferred to Leeuwkop, South Africa, where he was involved in an attempt to tunnel out of the camp. The camp also contained some German Nazi prisoners, and a contemporary MI5 report suggested Hamm had been indoctrinated by Nazi propaganda by his fellow inmates. He was returned to Britain in 1941 and enlisted in the Royal Tank Regiment, but during his service, he was identified as a disruptive influence and was taken off the front before his discharge in 1944. He found work at the Royal Coach Works in Acton after his discharge, and he subsequently was a bookkeeper at a milliner shop. Around then, Hamm converted to the Roman Catholic Church under the influence of Father Clement Russell, a Nazi sympathiser and anti-Semite based in

 profile did not go unnoticed by supporters and opponents alike, and in 1946, he and his ally Victor Burgess suffered a severe beating from antifascists. (A similar incident in Brighton in 1948 resulted in Hamm spending time in hospital.) Mosley was initially unsure of Hamm, but at a secret meeting in Bethnal Green on 22 December 1946, he endorsed Hamm's leadership and declared him his "East End representative", East London being traditionally the centre of Mosleyite activity. In 1947, however, Mosley censured Hamm for the violent and inflammatory nature of much of his propaganda, which forced him to tone down his rhetoric.Union Movement
Hamm soon began calling on Mosley to return to the leadership of British fascism. Hamm incorporated his British League into the Union Movement (UM) immediately upon the latter's foundation in 1948. Hamm became a leading member of the new UM but was considered a spiky figure and was so unpopular at UM headquarters that Mosley sent him to Manchester in 1949. Hamm failed to revitalise the northern branch and contemplated leaving the UM altogether until he was recalled by Mosley in 1952. Returning to London, <mask> became a central figure in the new anti-black campaign of the UM, which won it some support in Brixton and other areas into which new West Indies immigrants were settling. He gained widespread press coverage when, in the immediate aftermath of the 1958 Notting Hill race riots, he made a speech outside Latimer Road tube station. Hamm served as Mosley's personal secretary during the later years of the UM and succeeded to the post upon the death of Alexander Raven Thomson in 1955.Like Mosley, he was an ardent supporter of Irish unity and encouraged his leader to campaign on that issue. Hamm stood as a UM candidate at the 1966

 general election in the Birmingham Handsworth constituency and polled 4% of the vote. Mosley effectively withdrew from public life afterward, and the UM came under the leadership of <mask> and Robert Row, the last two paid UM activists. Mosley was officially UM leader until 1973, when he formally retired, when <mask>, who had becomes the effective leader, formally succeeded him. Under Hamm the party relaunched as the Action Party and under that name contested the 1973 Greater London Council elections without success. The party transformed itself into the Action Society in 1978 and gave up party politics to become a publishing house. Hamm published his autobiography, Action Replay, in 1983, and in 1988 his second book, The Evil Good Men Do.After Mosley's death in December 1980, Hamm published and edited a quarterly pro-Mosley magazine, Lodestar, which included contributions by Diana Mosley, Colin Wilson and Brocard Sewell. He died from Parkinson's disease in 1992. Hamm's papers are housed at the University of Birmingham Special Collections. Elections contested

Herb Whitlock

In 1986, newlyweds Dyke and Karen Rhoades were murdered in Paris, Illinois, a small farming community in East Central Illinois.

Herbert Whitlock and Randy Steidl were later arrested and convicted for the murders.Steidl was convicted on both murder counts, and Whitlock was convicted of only killing Rhoades. Steidl was sentenced to death, and Whitlock was sentenced to a life sentence. Both men appealed their convictions and claimed that they were innocent. In 2000, the Illinois State Police reopened the case due to new evidence, with Lt. Michale Callahan leading the investigation. Callahan found numerous inconsistencies and evidence of misconduct that ultimately led him to conclude that the wrong men had been

 convicted of the murders. When he reported back to his superiors, he was told that the case was "too politically sensitive" and to drop the investigation. He later wrote a book, "Too Politically Sensitive," that chronicles his investigation and the eventual exoneration of Steidl and Whitlock.In 2003 United States District Judge Michael P. McCuskey, granted Steidl a Writ of Habeas Corpus and ordered a new trial for Steidl. The State chose not to bring Steidl to trial again and he was subsequently released in May 2004. <mask> and Susana Ortiz, working with the Illinois Innocence Project, filed a postconviction petition on behalf of Herbert Whitlock, challenging the first degree murder conviction of Karen Rhoads. <mask> and Ortiz contended that the State suppressed favorable and materiel evidence to Whitlock, in violation of Brady v. Maryland, and that Whitlock had ineffective assistance of counsel during his trial. While the circuit court judge, H. Dean Andrews, denied the petition, citing res judicata and forfeiture, <mask> and Ortiz appealed and the Fourth District Appellate Court of Illinois, in September 2007, reversed the circuit court judge and remanded Herbert Whitlock's murder case for a new trial. The State did not pursue a new trial and Whitlock was released in January 2008. Publications

title: John Van de Kamp

texts:
<mask> (February 7, 1936 – March 14, 2017) was an American politician and lawyer who served as Los Angeles County District Attorney from 1975 until 1981, and then as the 28th Attorney General of California from 1983 until 1991. Early life
<mask> was born on February 7, 1936. He graduated from Dartmouth College and from Stanford Law School in 1959. He served as assistant U.S. Attorney and later became the first Federal Public Defender in Los Angeles. He was appointed U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles by President <mask> in 1966. He was appointed District Attorney after the previous incumbent died in office. Los Angeles County District Attorney
During his tenure as Los Angeles County District Attorney, <mask> dramatically increased the number of female deputy district attorneys in the office.He also created special units to focus on gangs, sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and career criminals, and a unit to monitor crime in the entertainment industry. He set in place programs to help victims and witnesses, as well as quick response teams in cases of police officer-involved shootings. <mask> <mask> was criticized for his office's handling of the Hillside Strangler case. Specifically, the case against defendant Angelo Buono was based largely on the testimony of co-defendant Kenneth Bianchi, who became uncooperative and unreliable, claiming to have multiple personalities and repeatedly changing his story. <mask> <mask> was assured by his prosecutors that because of Bianchi's behavior, conviction of Buono could not be secured. <mask> Kamp accepted their judgment and allowed the trial prosecutor, Roger Kelly, to move to dismiss all 10 murder charges against Buono and release him with an eye toward trying him for pandering. The judge in the case, Ronald M. George, however, felt enough evidence existed against Buono to justify proceeding to trial, and George took the unconventional step of denying the motion to dismiss.<mask> <mask> then declared a conflict of interest with regard to his office continuing the prosecution, as his office had already come to the conclusion that they

 could not win the case. Judge George accepted the conflict and reassigned the case, moving it to the California Attorney General's office under George Deukmejian. The prosecutors from the Attorney General's office were able to overcome the problems with Bianchi's behavior, and went on to secure convictions on nine of the 10 counts and a life sentence against Buono. The trial had been so lengthy that before it ended, Deukmejian had left office (having been elected as Governor of California), and had been succeeded as California Attorney General by <mask> <mask> himself. Thus, it was ironically a <mask> Kamp-led office that had declared the case against Buono to be unwinnable, and another <mask> Kamp-led office that completed the winning of that case. The first decision, to give up on the murder prosecution of Buono, was used against <mask> Kamp in later political campaigns to portray him as being "soft on crime". California Attorney General

<mask> <mask> won the 1982 Democratic primary for Attorney General, defeating California State Sen. Omer Rains, a Democrat from Santa Barbara.Rains was chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and former Senate Majority Leader. <mask> <mask> would go on to beat the Republican candidate, Senior Assistant Attorney General George Nicholson, a Deukmejian lieutenant, in the November general election. During <mask> <mask>'s administration as California Attorney General, he helped to create the Public Rights Division, which focuses on the enforcement of environmental, consumer protection, anti-trust, and civil rights issues. He also helped to modernize the Department of Justice by beginning support of DNA forensic investigation. <mask> <mask> was easily re-elected in 1986, winning 65 percent of the vote. The Republican nominee was San Fernando Valley attorney Bruce Gleason. In 1987, <mask> <mask> unsuccessfully led the State's charge against pornography by defending the pandering conviction of adult filmmaker Harold Freeman.Ultimately, the California State Supreme Court overturned Freeman's conviction. <mask> <mask> appealed to the United States Supreme

 Court, who declined to hear the case, thus effectively legalizing the production of adult films. In February 1989, he brought an AK-47 assault rifle to a legislative hearing on gun control and told the lawmakers that he could kill them all in the time it took to utter a sentence. “You are lucky that I am the attorney general and not a nut,” he said. In 1989, George Deukmejian announced that he would not seek a third term as Governor of California. <mask> <mask> ran for the office in 1990, hoping to succeed Deukmejian a second time, but he lost the Democratic primary election to former San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein lost the general election to U. S. Sen. Pete Wilson, R-Calif. Feinstein would win a 1992 special election to fill Wilson's US Senate seat.Post-politics

He later revealed that he had been advised that he may need surgery on his ear and nose. He also revealed that he had lost  during the show as he was not allowed to eat the same amount of food as he did while staying in wrestling shape.Professional wrestling persona
Muñoz's "<mask>" ring character is that of a tecnico or the good guy; in Lucha Libre traditional good guy/bad guy divide is still maintained much stricter than most other countries in the 20th century. His wrestling style is a high speed, high flying version of Lucha Libre, where he will take higher risks than a lot of wrestlers when executing moves off the top rope or from inside the ring to the outside. (Bridging package fallaway powerbomb) During his long running storyline with Takahashi the two developed such a trust in each other that they were able to perform high risk moves that <mask> would not be able to do against other wrestlers who would not be able to execute their part of the move safely. His high risk style has led him to often use a Running frankensteiner throw where he leaps over the top rope and executes the leg scissor takedown on an opponent standing on the apron, sending him to the floor. His high flying style has earned him the nickname "El Niño Maravilla" ("The Boy Wonder"). One of his signature finishing moves is the "Dragon Driver", also known as the "Phoenix-Plex" - a

 Bridging package fallaway powerbomb where he lifts his opponent up, hooks his legs in a "package" position and then falls backwards so the opponent is slammed to the ground and he holds them there for a pinfall. The Phoenix-Plex is one of the riskier professional wrestling moves, designed to look like it hurts the opponent without actually inflicting too much pain, but can go wrong when the person executing or the person taking the move makes a mistake.That risk was highlighted in a match between <mask> and Takahashi at NJPW's G1 Special in San Francisco, where <mask> released his opponent too early and Takahashi landed on his neck, breaking it in the process.

In 2004, <mask> was the first candidate to announce his bid for the Democratic Party nomination for Governor of Connecticut.In a major upset in <mask>'s favor, he received the convention endorsement of the Democratic Party on May 20, 2006 by one vote. <mask> lost in the primary election however against New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. on August 8, 2006. 2010

On February 3, 2009, Malloy officially filed paperwork with Connecticut's State Elections Enforcement Commission to form a gubernatorial exploratory committee, and subsequently announced that he did not intend to seek re-election as Mayor of Stamford. On March 9, 2010, <mask> filed the required paperwork to officially run for governor. <mask> received the Democratic Party's endorsement for governor on May 22, 2010, in a 68-32 vote over 2006 Democratic senatorial candidate Ned Lamont. Connecticut's Democratic Party rules allow any candidate who received more than 15% of the vote at its nominating convention to challenge the endorsed candidate for the nomination in a primary, and Lamont announced that he would challenge Malloy in the gubernatorial primary. The primary was held on August 10, 2010.<mask> won with 58% of the vote, according to AP-reported unofficial results.

 According to preliminary numbers, he beat Lamont 101,354 to 73,875. As a Democratic candidate for governor prior to the Democratic state convention and subsequent primary, <mask> chose Nancy Wyman to be his running mate. Wyman is the only woman elected State Comptroller since the office was created in 1786. <mask>'s choice was confirmed by the Democratic nominating convention on May 22, and Wyman became the official 2010 Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor when she defeated primary opponent Mary Glassman on August 10. After the primaries, candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run together as a team on a single ticket. Thus, <mask> and Wyman were both elected on November 2, 2010.Malloy faced Republican Thomas C. Foley, the former United States Ambassador to Ireland under President George W. Bush, in the race for governor. Tom Foley had never been elected to public office. In the last Quinnipiac University Polling Institute poll released on the morning before Election Day, <mask> trailed Foley 48% to 45%. According to The New York Times on November 3, Malloy was elected governor; they later placed Foley in the lead with no declared winner. The Associated Press had at one point also placed Foley ahead by 8,424 votes because they hadn't added the votes from New Haven or Bridgeport at that time. In the days following the election, there was controversy over several polling locations in Bridgeport remaining open until 10 p.m. on Election Day due to ballot shortages. Foley's team looked into the events that took place in Bridgeport and determined there was insufficient evidence of enough fraud to overcome the vote deficit.2014

On March 28, 2014, <mask> announced his intention to seek a second term. With full support, he was

 unopposed in the Democratic primary. On August 12, Tom Foley, <mask>'s Republican opponent in 2010, won his party's nomination, making the 2014 election a rematch of the bitter 2010 contest. As expected, the race was very close. On November 4, <mask> won reelection with 51.1 percent of the vote. Foley conceded the election on November 5 without direct communication with Malloy. Tenure

<mask> was sworn in as the 88th Governor of Connecticut on January 5, 2011, succeeding Republican Governor Jodi Rell.In the state's legislative elections of November 2012, Republicans tried to tie Democratic legislators to Malloy, who had consistently faced negative job approval ratings. The strategy did not work and the Democrats recorded no losses in either house. Malloy called the results a "vindication" and said that "Tough times require tough decisions that are not immediately popular... you should not be afraid to make tough decisions, particularly if you are transparent about those decisions, if you explain why those decisions were necessary. In our case, the tough decisions we had to make were in fact caused by Republican governors." According to a July 2016 New York Times survey, <mask> was the most unpopular Democratic governor in the country, with a 64% disapproval and 29% approval rating, and the second-most unpopular overall, after Republican Sam Brownback of Kansas. Economy
The first task facing Malloy upon taking office was addressing a multibillion-dollar deficit as a result of the prior state budget enacted by the Democratic super-majority-controlled legislature which Rell chose to accept without signing. Malloy adopted what he called an agenda of "shared sacrifice" which was dependent on increases in various taxes, including the income tax,

texts:
 the gas tax, the sales tax, and the estate tax, as well as $1 billion each year in union concessions.Malloy chose not to reduce aid to municipalities as part of his budget agenda, although such aid would have been jeopardized if labor concessions were not reached. After two months of negotiations, in May 2011, Malloy won $1.6 billion in union givebacks. The budget deal meant that, in contrast to many other states, there were no layoffs. Many of <mask>'s proposed tax increases were unpopular, despite a statewide "listening tour" to promote the budget. Marijuana
In June 2011, Malloy signed a bill that decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana. Offenders pay a $150 fine for a first offense and a fine ranging from $200 to $500 for subsequent offenses. Those younger than 21 face a 60-day driver's license suspension.Paraphernalia has also been decriminalized as long as the person possesses under 1/2 an ounce of marijuana. Offenders may still be arrested for under 1/2 an ounce or a pipe if they are in a school zone and there is a mandatory minimum sentence (MMS) of 3 years. There is also an MMS of 3 years for sale to a minor. Connecticut became the 17th state to legalize medical marijuana on June 1, 2012 after Malloy signed a bill into law. Some portions of the law were effective immediately while the remaining portions became effective on October 1, 2012. In December 2016, <mask> publicly stated that he opposed the legalization of recreational marijuana in Connecticut and that he would not support legislative efforts at legalization. LGBT equality
Malloy supports progressive social measures, including protections for transgender identity.Malloy praised the Transgender Rights Bill HB 6599 and promised he would sign it into law. It

 legislature's decision to prospectively abolish capital punishment rendered it an offense to "evolving standards of decency," thus commuting the sentences of the 11 men remaining on death row to life in prison without parole. Malloy was in the process of having Connecticut be the first state in the nation to raise the age of being within the juvenile system from 18 to 21 via the Second Chance initiative. Education
<mask>'s "centerpiece" education reform bill was unanimously passed by the Connecticut House of Representatives and signed into law in early May 2012. The bill increases funding for early childhood education and poorer school districts, creates 1,000 more preschool places, creates a kindergarten to third grade literacy pilot program and reformed teacher tenure, tying it to performance. Voting
Also in May 2012, Malloy signed a bill that expanded voting rights in Connecticut, allowing for same-day voter registration.Other provisions to allow early voting and "no-excuse" absentee ballots will be subject to a referendum, to be held in 2014. It also allows for online voter registration, beginning in 2014. Gun laws
In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown in December 2012, Malloy pushed for strict new gun control laws. In April 2013, he signed into law a bill that passed the legislature with bipartisan support and required universal background checks, banned magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, created the country's first registry for dangerous-weapon offenders and added over 100 types of gun to the state's assault weapons ban. In December 2015, Malloy announced he would issue an executive order to prohibit anyone on federal terrorist watchlists (such as the No Fly List) from obtaining the permits

 required to acquire firearms in Connecticut. The executive order would also revoke existing permits for people on such lists. Immigration laws
On June 7, 2013, Malloy signed a bill that allows all residents of Connecticut, including illegal immigrants, to apply for a driver's license.He called it a public safety issue that "needs to be addressed". The licenses cannot be used to vote or board a plane and the bill took effect in July 2015. Other issues

At the end of May 2012, Malloy signed a bill that repealed Connecticut's ban on the sale of alcohol on Sundays. Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana and Minnesota had previously been the only states that still had broad restrictions on the sale of alcohol on Sundays. In response to Hurricane Sandy, Malloy partially activated the state's Emergency Operations Center on October 26, 2012 and signed a Declaration of Emergency the next day. On October 28, President Barack Obama approved Connecticut's request for an emergency declaration, and hundreds of National Guard personnel were deployed. On October 29, Malloy ordered road closures for all state highways.Numerous mandatory and partial evacuations were issued in cities across Connecticut. <mask>'s strong initial response is credited with helping the state to avoid much of the damage that affected neighbouring New York City and nearby New Jersey. Five people were killed and over 30,000 houses were destroyed. The Federal Emergency Management Agency gave the state over $283 million in the 6 months following the hurricane and in August 2013, <mask> announced that the Department of Housing and Urban Development was giving another $71.8 million.

<mask> (1816-1873) was an Irish Anglican  cleric who spent most of his adult life in England. He was famous for his hymns and sermons,  and also for missionary work with  his wife <mask>. Catherine founded several projects in his name in the twenty years after his death. Early life

He was born in Dublin, youngest son of the highly respected  High Court judge <mask>, and his wife Jane Bennet. His father came from a long established family of landowners in County Tipperary, while his mother was the daughter of another High Court judge, John Bennett. One of his uncles was <mask>, a distinguished barrister and judge. Among  his cousins was General Sir <mask>.He went to school first in Dublin, then to a private school at Westbury on Trym  near Bristol,  where he was nicknamed "the saintly boy". Due to his chronic ill-health he was then placed with a private tutor, Mr Stephens,  at Levens near Kendal, Cumbria. He entered Trinity College, Dublin  in 1834 but due to his constant health problems he did not matriculate  until 1840. Early career

He entered holy orders  in 1842. He became curate of Ballymacash, near Lisburn, in 1843 and of Mellifont the following year. During the Great Irish Famine he was noted for his charity to all those who lived in his parish, regardless of whether they were Catholics or Protestants. He then left Ireland, and spent the rest of his life working in England, mostly in or near London.In 1848 he was appointed vicar of Holy Trinity, Walton, near Aylesbury. This was a very difficult parish to work in as he had no vicarage and the income was small, but he is said to have gained the trust and respect of his parishioners. In 1852 he was transferred to Christ Church, Barnet, where he rapidly built up a considerable influence. For example, his parishioner Emma Robarts founded the Prayer Union, which decades later merged into the YWCA. His house in Barnet became a meeting place for evangelicals of all social classes and walks of life "from noblemen

 3000 people. It was used throughout the week by 20 organisations, and on Sunday the services were led by different denominations. Up to 600 men attended its night school. Mildmay founded or nurtured organisations such as the Dorcas Society, a charitable sewing circle; Caroline Hanbury's initiative to distribute flowers to hospitals; an orphanage training girls for domestic service; Mildmay Lads' Institute, to keep boys out of trouble; Metropolitan Free Dormitory Association, a homeless shelter involving Lord Shaftesbury; children's services, stimulated by a visit from American evangelist Edward Payson Hammond.The Railway Mission and the Young Women's Christian Association were for a time headquartered at Mildmay Mission. Mrs Pennefather brought together the Working Girls' Institute (founded 1855) to form the YWCA. Later life and legacy

He continued to hold conferences on missionary work until his sudden death on 30 April 1873. This interdenominational initiative, and his evident piety, were precursors of the Keswick Convention. The leader of the Church Mission Society, Eugene Stock, called him "the George Mueller of the Church of England". He was remembered as one of the most influential mission preachers of his time. He was the author of numerous hymns, of which probably the best-known is "Jesus,  Stand Among Us".He  also published several books of sermons. The Mildmay Conference Hall was demolished in the 1940s; council housing was built on its site. Mildmay is an HIV charity which traces its roots back to Pennefather and his Church-sponsored hospital. Mildmay Mission Hospital  operates in London, with related work abroad. References

Although he could not have avoided the accident, and was not at fault, he still felt guilty, and it affected him for decades. His next book, Half a Life is a memoir concerning that traffic accident; it was published by McSweeney's in September 2010, and was excerpted in GQ magazine, and This American Life, and also in The Times and The Daily Mail (UK).Half a Life was named an Entertainment Weekly Must Read and a The New York Times Editor's Pick—and a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Amazon.com, The Plain Dealer, and The San Francisco Chronicle, among many others.

Born at Stratton Audley in Oxfordshire, "Charlie", as he was widely known in the art world, was the son of <mask> and <mask> (née Harris). His father was a solicitor as was his father before him. He attended Marlborough College and then after a summer course at Indiana University embarked upon a degree in law at the University of Kent. Career
Although expected to follow in his father's footsteps, <mask> chose to forge a very different career in the art world. He soon abandoned his studies at Kent and thanks to an inheritance from his maternal grandfather, was able to enrol for an internship in the Department of Furniture and Woodwork at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1969. In 1971, he transferred to the Department of Metalwork.He was subsequently appointed Assistant Keeper in the Department of Ceramics in 1977. In 1984, he was headhunted by Christie's to run the firm's London Silver Department, together with the Russian Department and the Department of Objects of Vertu. He was appointed a director of Christie's, and of Christie's Education the following year.

In 1991 he moved to run the Antiques Department at Asprey before establishing himself as an independent dealer. One very pivotal moment in his career while at Asprey's was his negotiating the sale of the

His article "Reinhold Vasters, The Last of the Goldsmiths", published in Connoisseur in March 1979, dealing with fake Renaissance jewellery and works of art by the Aachen maker, reflected an important area of concern in his work as scholar and later as dealer. With Anna Somers Cocks, he co-authored The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection: Renaissance Jewellery, Gold Boxes and Objets de Vertu (London, 1984). The first volume of his book The Gilbert Collection of Gold Boxes, was published in 1991 by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). His edition of The Sotheby's Concise Encyclopaedia of Silver came out soon after in 1993. The second volume of The Gilbert Collection of Gold Boxes was published in London in 1999, the year before the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection as a whole went on display at Somerset House in London.His catalogue of the Renaissance jewellery in the Robert Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, was published in 2012, and his catalogue raisonné of the gold boxes at the Wallace Collection, London, in 2013.

<mask> (born <mask>, April 16, 1953, in Zurich, Switzerland) is a Swiss singer-songwriter, composer, and record producer. He first achieved international success in 1986, as the singer and front man of the group Double with the hit single, "The Captain of Her Heart". Biography
<mask> was born in Zurich, Switzerland, as the only child of Arnold and Babette Meier. His father's family emigrated to France when Arnold was four years old. During World War II, his father returned to Switzerland, where he met Babette, a daughter of a locomotive driver, and married her. Her family was very musical; each played an instrument and performed at house concerts. When Meier was born, Babette used to play the mandolin and sing and dance for him, and later, when he started to play the guitar, jammed along with her.The early days
At school, Meier was part of several bands that performed in local competition festivals, playing covers from The Beatles to Cream. From 1969 to 1972, he attended the Swiss Business School, but, after receiving his degree, chose a career as a conceptual artist and painter. He exhibited his works at local galleries in Zurich and founded, along with three artist friends, the performance group MAEZ. At his own gallery openings, <mask>, who changed his name to <mask> in 1975, always played the electric guitar. The solo performances metamorphosed into a band, including two other members of MAEZ. But Troppo, true to its name, grew to a nine-piece fusion art-punk band, influenced mainly by the New York Dolls and Funkadelic. After its first show at the Rote Fabrik in 1976, Troppo became a cult act in Switzerland in the mid to late 1970s.In 1979, <mask>

 released his first 7" single, "Giant Lady/Kontiki" on the new wave label, Forum Records. A year later, he teamed up with publisher Peter Zumsteg and released a hybrid format vinyl record with the title Luna, Luna + 7 Notorious Maloo Homeworks. On the A-side was one song spinning at 45 rpm and on the B-side, seven more at 33 rpm. The A-side song was a studio recording, while the B-side was recorded at home on his Revox B-77, using the ping-pong technique to simulate multitrack recording. Ping Pong
He continued to play solo concerts until he met Felix Haug, later the other half of Double. Haug used to play drums with the Swiss techno band Yello. He joined Maloo and, with the addition of a bass player, they formed the trio, Ping Pong.With the help of publisher Peter Zumsteg, they got the chance to record four songs at the Roxy Music studio with guitarist Phil Manzanera as producer, but the tracks never got released. When they signed with Teldec's label Big Mouth, they re-recorded the tracks together with new material for their album From Exile (1982). The band played in numerous European festivals, including the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival. Double
In 1983, <mask> and Felix Haug decided to make a go of it as a duo. As Double, they released three 12" maxi singles—"Naningo" (1983), "Rangoon Moon" and "Woman of the World" (1984)—before they had a chance to record their first album. The black-and-white music video for "Rangoon Moon" became a cult clip in Europe and received airplay on VH1 in the United States. Two years later, Double became known worldwide with their first hit single, "The Captain of Her Heart" from their first album, Blue, a best-seller
