 second reign
<mask> Chipan became the person that his father relied on the most on military matters.He made the scholar Jiao Yi (焦遺) <mask> Chipan's teacher, and told <mask> Chipan to serve Jiao like a father, and <mask> Chipan did so. In 411, <mask> Gangui, after some campaigns against Later Qin, agreed to nominally resubmit as a vassal, and Yao Xing created him the Prince of Henan and <mask> Chipan the Duke of Pingchang. Later that year, <mask> Gangui sent <mask> <mask> and his brother <mask> Shenqian (乞伏審虔) on a campaign against Southern Liang, and they had a major victory over Tufa Rutan's crown prince Tufa Hutai (禿髮虎台), capturing more than 100,000 animals. In spring 412, <mask> Gangui moved the capital to Tanjiao (譚郊, in modern Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu), leaving <mask> <mask> in command of Yuanchuan. In summer 412, while at Tanjiao, <mask> Gangui was assassinated by <mask> Guoren's son <mask> Gongfu (乞伏公府), who also killed more than 10 brothers of <mask> Chipan. <mask> Gongfu then took up a defense position at Daxia (大夏, in modern Linxia as well). <mask> <mask> sent his brothers <mask> Zhida (乞伏智達) and <mask> Muyigan (乞伏木奕干) to attack <mask> Gongfu, while moving the capital to Fuhan.<mask> Zhida, meanwhile, defeated <mask> Gongfu and executed him, his sons, and his brother <mask> Achai (乞伏阿柴). <mask> <mask> was now the undisputed heir, and he claimed the title Prince of Henan.

In 414, upon receiving news that Tufa Rutan was attacking rebellious Tuoqihan (唾契汗) and Yifu (乙弗) tribes, leaving Tufa Hutai in command of the Southern Liang capital Ledu (樂都, in modern Haidong Prefecture, Qinghai), Qiifu <mask> decided to make a surprise attack on Ledu. He quickly arrived at Ledu and put it under siege. Soon, Ledu fell, and he relocated Tufa Hutai and his subordinates to Fuhan, while sending his army further to face Tufa Rutan. Tufa Rutan's troops, hearing that Ledu had fallen, collapsed, and Tufa Rutan surrendered, ending Southern Liang and allowing <mask> <mask> to seize the remaining Southern Liang territory.<mask> <mask> welcomed him as an honored guest, creating him the Duke of Zuonan, and created Tufa Rutan's daughter his princess. However, in 415 he poisoned Tufa Rutan to death. Having annexed Southern Liang into his state, in 414 <mask> <mask> claimed the greater title of Prince of Qin. He also resumed his attacks on Later Qin. However, now that there was no longer Southern Liang serving as a buffer between them, he soon got into constant warfare with Northern Liang's prince Juqu Mengxun, often at Western Qin's expense. In 416, he made peace with Juqu Mengxun. Meanwhile, in 416, with Later Qin under

 major attack from the Jin general Liu Yu, he sent messengers to Liu Yu offering to be a vassal, and Liu Yu gave him the title Duke of Henan.By 417, Liu Yu had destroyed Later Qin, but he did not further head west to attack Western Qin, which seized a number of Later Qin cities on the borders. By 418, however, Jin had against lost the Guanzhong region to Xia's emperor Helian Bobo, and Xia, strengthened by its victories over Jin, now posed a major threat against Western Qin. Late reign
In 420, <mask> <mask> created his son <mask> Mumo crown prince. That year, <mask> <mask> also received a nominal commission as a major general from Liu Yu, who had by now seized the Jin throne and established Liu Song. In 421, the peace with Northern Liang ended, perhaps because Northern Liang had destroyed Western Liang in 420 and now could concentrate on warfare with its southern neighbor Western Qin. The battles were often inconclusive, but the war continued to wear Western Qin down. In 423, <mask> Chipan made the declaration to his officials that he now believed that Northern Wei was the state favored by the gods, and that its emperors were capable, and so he would offer to be a Northern Wei vassal.He then sent messengers to Northern Wei, offering suggestions on how to conquer Xia. In 426, he again requested that Northern Wei attack Xia. (There were little records of conflicts between Western Qin and Xia at this stage, but the repeated pleas

He was attacking Northern Liang when Northern Liang's prince Juqu Mengxun persuaded the Xia emperor Helian Chang (Helian Bobo's son and successor) to attack Fuhan. Helian Chang, in response, sent his general Hulu Gu (呼盧古) to attack Yuanchuan and Wei Fa (韋伐) to attack Nan'an (南安, in modern Dingxi, Gansu), and while Western Qin was able to hold Yuanchuan, Nan'an fell, at great loss. In winter 426, Xia forces commanded by Hulu and Wei attacked Fuhan, forcing <mask> <mask> to move the capital to Dinglian (定連, also in Linxia), and Hulu and Wei then captured another important Western Qin city, Xiping (西平, in modern Xining, Qinghai), and while they then withdrew, Western Qin had been dealt a major blow.In 427, <mask> <mask> moved his capital back to Fuhan, and hearing that Northern Wei had captured the Xia capital Tongwan (統萬, in modern Yulin, Shaanxi) and forced Helian Chang to flee to Shanggui (上邽, in modern Tianshui, Gansu), he sent his uncle <mask> Wotou (乞伏握頭) to offer tributes to Northern Wei. By this point, however, Western Qin was also still under constant attack by Northern Liang and Chouchi. In summer 428, <mask> <mask>, after telling <mask> Mumo to try to make peace with Northern Liang by returning Juqu Mengxun's advisor Juqu Chengdu (沮渠成都), whom he

<mask>Dick<mask> (May 28, 1925 – August 20, 2016) was an American mycologist and founding co-editor of the journal Mycotaxon. He was a preeminent figure in the study of discomycetes and made significant contributions to the field of fungal nomenclature and taxonomy. Korf was professor emeritus of mycology at Cornell University and director emeritus of Cornell University's Plant Pathology Herbarium. Early life and education

<mask> was born on May 28, 1925, to an upper-middle-class family with homes in Westchester County, New York, and New Fairfield, Connecticut. While attending the prestigious Riverdale Country School in New York City, Korf was placed in charge of his biology class after their teacher joined the military. "In retrospect," Korf wrote, "I am convinced that this experience had an enormous impact on my future and on my decision to enter the teaching profession." In 1942, shortly after his 17th birthday, Korf enrolled at Cornell University "with the vague notion that [he] might like to become a gentleman farmer."At the suggestion of botany professor Loren C<mask>, Korf began studying plant pathology under Herbert Hice Whetzel. Korf continued his training under mycologist Harry Morton Fitzpatrick, whom he nicknamed "<mask>tz." Korf completed his B.S. in botany in

Professorship

Following the completion of his doctorate, Korf spent a year teaching mycology at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. He returned to Cornell in 1951 as a faculty member in the Department of Plant Pathology. He was named Associate Professor in 1955 and Professor of Mycology in 1961.He retired in 1992 but continued to teach until 1998, when he was replaced by Kathie Hodge. Korf trained and advised 27 PhD students, including Lekh Raj Batra, William C. Denison,  K. P. Dumont, James Kimbrough, Donald H<mask>, Martin A. Rosinski, Robert L. Shaffer, Robert A. Shoemaker, and Wenying Zhuang. Herbarium
Korf was director emeritus of the Cornell University Plant Pathology Herbarium (CUP), one of the largest fungal herbariums in the United States. Korf traveled globally over the course of his career, collecting fungi in Belgium, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Hungary, Indonesia, Jamaica, Japan, Macaronesia, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Singapore, Sweden, and Taiwan. The <mask> P. Korf Herbarium within CUP boasts nearly 5000 specimens, including 257 type specimens. This collection is

Korf co-founded Mycotaxon, an international peer-reviewed journal of taxonomy and nomenclature of fungi and lichens, with co-worker Grégoire L. Hennebert in 1974.Korf oversaw journal preparation, final editing, and subscription management as Managing Editor & English Language Editor (1974-1991) and business manager (1991–2006). He served as Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief from 1998 to 2003 and as treasurer of the corporation from 1999 to his passing in 2016. Mycotaxon reached 131 published volumes in 2016. Taxa described
Korf described or reclassified hundreds of species of fungi. The standard author abbreviation Korf is applied to taxa he described. Personal life

While on sabbatical in Japan in 1957, Korf met his wife Kumiko "Kumi" Tachibana. Her younger sister was a student in his English conversation group at Yokohama National University.They married and had four children together: Noni, Mia, Ian, and Mario. Kumi is a fine artist specializing in printmaking. In the 1960s, <mask> chaired the Liberal Party of Tompkins County,

 New York. In 1972, Korf purchased Exe Island on Big Rideau Lake in Portland, Ontario, Canada. He later transferred the three acre island with cottage to Mycotaxon, Ltd. as Exe Island Biological Station. Korf enjoyed the card game Crazy Eights, and is remembered for organizing tournaments at mycological conferences and during holidays on Exe Island. Korf passed away on August 20, 2016, at the age of 91 at home in Ithaca, New York.Thespian activity

<mask> was an active thespian with a lifelong enthusiasm for theatre arts. Performing in plays since childhood, he acted on Cornell and Ithaca stages and in the recording studio. Korf performed under the pseudonym "Jonah Webster" as a student to hide his "favorite avocation" from professor Harry Morton Fitzpatrick, who disapproved of non-mycological pursuits. Korf served part-time as chair of Cornell's Department of Theatre Arts from 1985 to 1986. Honors, awards, and memberships

<mask> (born June 15, 1947) is an American guitarist best known for being a session musician with popular artists. <mask> played the well-known guitar solos from Steely Dan's song "Reelin' in the Years" and Irene Cara's song "Fame". The former solo was ranked as the 40th best guitar solo of all time by the readers of Guitar World magazine and the eighth best guitar solo by Q4 Music. Career
<mask> began taking piano lessons at age five. At nine, in 1956, he switched to guitar. He attended New York City's  High School of Music & Art, where he was classmates with Laura Nyro and Michael Kamen. In 1963, at sixteen, <mask> met Richie Havens in Greenwich Village and began gigging.<mask> did some early work behind the Capris and the Ronettes, and by 1964 was recording "small-time" demos. Between 1966 and 1967, he taught music in Ohio. Returning to New York, he began working as a staff musician for the Musicor record company. During 1968, he recorded with the Druids of Stonehenge with a brief cameo appearance on the Joe Franklin show. He began recording with friends around 1968, including Tim Rose, and made demo recordings with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker—who at the time were with Jay and the Americans. In 1969 he recorded on the album Electric Black Man, featuring Eric Mercury, and toured with the ensemble, which included Bill Lordan on drums, later to perform in the Robin Trower Band and with Sly Stone. In 1969, he joined the band Seatrain, opting for that band rather than joining Wilson Pickett in Muscle Shoals.In 1970, <mask> signed with the Robert Stigwood Organization, which managed Cream, The Bee Gees, John Mayall and The Staple Singers. He formed a band called Randall's Island, which recorded a few albums on Polydor. In 1972, The Stigwood Organization bought the rights to Jesus Christ Superstar and produced the show on Broadway. They hired <mask>'s band to perform the music. There, <mask> met guitarist Vinnie Bell, who was experimenting with various electronic effects. <mask> began to dabble in electronics as

texts: well, and whenever Bell couldn't make a gig, he recommended <mask>. In 1972, <mask> left New York for California.He reunited with Becker, Fagen and childhood friend Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter, and recorded the first Steely Dan album, Can't Buy a Thrill. <mask>'s guitar work on "Reelin' in the Years" became popular as the song became a chart success, and soon, as the solo gained fame and respect, <mask> began getting calls from other artists. <mask> has had a history of turning down permanent gigs, instead favoring session work. He did become a touring member of Sha Na Na in 1974, exiting amicably in 1975. Becker and Fagen asked <mask> to become a permanent member of Steely Dan, but <mask> politely declined, as he felt that the band's dynamics would make the band dissolve after the third album—which happened. Later, <mask> played with Steely Dan on their fourth and fifth albums, Katy Lied (1975) and The Royal Scam (1976). In 1980, John Belushi asked <mask> to be musical director for The Blues Brothers, a position he also turned down.Jeff Porcaro and David Paich offered <mask> the chance to be a founding member of Toto, and he rejected that too. As a session player, <mask> played with artists such as The Doobie Brothers, Tom Rush, Elkie Brooks, Carly Simon, Carl Wilson, Peter Wolf, Peter Frampton, James Galway, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and The American Symphony Orchestra, among many others. He was also a music consultant for the American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show Saturday Night Live and for American film director, screenwriter and producer Oliver Stone and did projects with music producers Gary Katz, David Kershenbaum, The Tokens, Steve Lillywhite, Eddie Kramer and Jerry Wexler. A full list of artists and producers with whom <mask> has recorded can be found at elliott-randall.com. In addition to artistic projects, <mask> has also played, produced, and composed myriad advertisements (jingles) for television, radio and cinema, for clients including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Miller Beer,

Since the advent of MIDI in the early 1980s, <mask> has worked as independent consultant for a wide range of companies - including Akai, Roland, Korg and Yamaha - in musical instrument and amplifier development, recording and sampling technology, software design, and education. <mask>'s recent projects include recording, production, and consulting on streaming Internet content.He is currently  recording a new CD in London, New York and Ireland that blends Celtic, Afro-Cuban and other global musical influences. He recorded and plays with his London-based band Posse and NYC-based Randall's Rangers. <mask> appeared as a guest at London's Hammersmith Apollo on July 1, 2009 with Steely Dan to play lead guitar on "Reelin' in the Years", and did so again at London's SSE Arena on February 25, 2019.

<mask> plays a 1963 Fender Stratocaster. The neck pickup is a 1969 Gibson Humbucker. He often plays through a Fender Super Reverb. He was listed as an endorser for Dimarzio pickups in the company's product brochure circa 1981.In an article in Guitar Player magazine (July 2007) <mask> was asked what rig he used to record the solo on "Reelin' in the Years". He states, "That was my '63 Fender Stratocaster with a PAF humbucker in the neck position, straight into an Ampeg SVT bass amp. The SVT wouldn't have been my first choice for an amp--or even my fifth choice--but it worked a storm on that recording!" 1 (1992)

title: Elizabeth Sutherland, 10th Countess of Sutherland

texts:
<mask>, (died 1535) was the 10th Countess of Sutherland having succeeded to the Earldom of Sutherland after her brother <mask>, 9th Earl of Sutherland died in 1514. Early life

She was the daughter of <mask>, 8th Earl of Sutherland who died in 1508. He was initially succeeded by his son, <mask>, 9th Earl of Sutherland. However, having inherited his father's mental illness, the 9th Earl declared that his sister <mask> and her husband Adam Gordon, and their children were his nearest heirs. The 9th Earl died a month later in 1514 and was therefore succeeded by his sister <mask> and her husband Adam Gordon. Adam Gordon was a younger son of George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly, chief of the Clan Gordon. According to 17th century historian Sir Robert Gordon, 1st Baronet, who himself was a younger son of Alexander Gordon, 12th Earl of Sutherland, <mask> and Adam Gordon married in 1500.According to 19th century historian William Fraser, Adam Gordon's mother was Annabella, the youngest daughter of James I of Scotland. According to Fraser, it was not until 1509 that Adam Gordon appears to have begun interfering with the affairs of the Sutherland estate, which according to Gordon was due to the mental weakness of the 9th Earl and that intervention was probably not necessary during the time of the 8th Earl. Dispute to the earldom of Sutherland

The 9th Earl died in July 1514 and it was not until 3 October 1514 that his sister <mask> was served as heir to him. The service of inquest was sat in Inverness and was opposed by her younger brother, <mask> who had sent his "brother" Mr Robert Munro as his procurator to object to the proceedings. Sir Robert Gordon assumed <mask> to be the rightful heir. Among the claims made by <mask>'s procurator was that <mask> himself could not

texts: safely come to Inverness to oppose the service on account of the tyranny of the Earl of Huntly. Both Adam Gordon and the Earl of Huntly then gave assurance that <mask> should have safe conduct to Inverness.However, he still does not appear to have attended. The only claim Mr Robert Munro made was that of the alleged existence of an entail by royal charter of the lands and earldom of Sutherland, but he was not able to produce this charter and so the jury accordingly proceeded with the service upon which a crown precept followed and <mask> was given the lands on 30 June 1515, after which she and her husband were immediately known as the Earl and Countess of Sutherland. Adam Gordon styled himself as Earl of Sutherland in a letter in favour of Sir Robert McRaith as the chaplain of the church lands of St Andrew in Golspie. According to Sir Robert Gordon, Adam Gordon, Earl of Sutherland having great troubles in his country became friendly with John Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Caithness. He goes on to say that while Adam was in Strathbogie (former name of his family's home of Huntly), that <mask>, claimant of the earldom of Sutherland, seized Dunrobin Castle which was the seat of the Earl and Countess of Sutherland. However, according to Fraser, according to a bond of friendship with the Earl of Caithness dated September 1516, <mask> at that time was actually in possession of Dunrobin Castle. In the agreement one of the clauses from the Earl and Countess of Sutherland was that the Earl of  Caithness should recover Dunrobin Castle from the hands of <mask> as quickly as possible.The Earl of Caithness was also to support and defend the Earl and Countess of Sutherland in their possession of the earldom. They also bound themselves to maintain and defend Caithness in his

 earldom. If Dunrobin Castle could not be speedily won then the Earl and Countess of Sutherland were to take refuge in any stronghold Caithness could provide for them in his territory. How far the agreement was carried out is not clear, but in March 1517 until February 1518, <mask> was in Edinburgh, either confined in Edinburgh Castle or under private custody, but this appears to have been brought about not by the Earl of Caithness but by the Earl of Huntly who was sheriff of Inverness-shire. <mask> had seized and appropriated Crown dues for his own use and it was for this offence that he was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle. According to Sir Robert Gordon, in 1517, <mask> had been persuaded by his sister <mask> to resist their enemy John Mackay, 11th of Strathnaver and that he had defeated him at the Battle of Torran Dubh in Sutherland. However, William Fraser disputes this version of events as it can be proved that <mask> was in prison in the year of 1517 when the battle is supposed to have taken place and he was not released until 1518.According to early 20th-century historian Angus Mackay, the Battle of Torran Du was actually fought in 1517 between the Clan Mackay, with the support of the Clan Matheson and the Polsons, against the Murrays of Aberscross, the Clan Ross and the Clan Gunn, and he cited a historic manuscript of the Gunns to back up this theory. According to Gordon, in 1518, <mask> had gained great favour with both the Earl of Caithness and John Mackay, whose sister he had married. While Adam Gordon was absent in Strathbogie, <mask> seized Dunrobin Castle, but it was later retaken, although he had already escaped. <mask> was killed by forces of the Gordons at the subsequent Battle of Alltachuilain in 1519.

title: Olav V of Norway

texts:
<mask> (; born Prince Alexander of Denmark; 2 July 1903 – 17 January 1991) was the King of Norway from 1957 until his death in 1991. <mask> was the only child of King <mask> of Norway and Maud of Wales. He became heir apparent to the Norwegian throne when his father was elected King of Norway in 1905. He was the first heir to the Norwegian throne to be brought up in Norway since <mask> IV in the fourteenth century, and his parents made sure he was given as Norwegian an upbringing as possible. In preparation for his future role, he attended both civilian and military schools. In 1929, he married his first cousin Princess Märtha of Sweden. During World War II his leadership was much appreciated and he was appointed Norwegian Chief of Defence in 1944.<mask> became king following the death of his father in 1957. Owing to his considerate, down-to-earth style, King <mask> was immensely popular, resulting in the nickname Folkekongen ("The People's King"). In a 2005 poll by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, <mask> was voted "Norwegian of the Century". Birth and early life

<mask> was born as Prince Alexander Edward Christian Frederik in Appleton House on the royal Sandringham Estate, Flitcham, United Kingdom. His parents were Prince Carl, second son of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark (later King Frederick VIII), and Princess Maud, youngest daughter of King <mask> of the United Kingdom, who was the eldest son of Britain's Queen <mask>. In 1905, Carl was elected king of Norway and took the name Haakon <mask>. On the day Haakon was crowned, he gave his two-year-old son the Norwegian name <mask> after Olaf Haakonsson, king of Norway and Denmark.<mask> was thus the first heir to the throne since the Middle Ages to have been raised in Norway. Unlike his father, who was a naval officer, <mask> chose to complete his main military education in the army. He graduated from the three-year Norwegian Military Academy in 1924, with the fourth best score in his class. <mask> then went on to study jurisprudence and economics for two years at Balliol College, Oxford. During the 1930s, Crown <mask> was a

 naval cadet serving on the minelayer/cadet training ship <mask> Tryggvason. <mask> moved up the ranks of the Norwegian armed forces, rising in the army from an initial rank of first lieutenant to captain in 1931 and colonel in 1936. He was an accomplished athlete.<mask> jumped from the Holmenkollen ski jump in Oslo and competed in sailing regattas. He won a gold medal in sailing at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam and remained an active sailor into old age. On 21 March 1929 in Oslo, he married his first cousin Princess Märtha of Sweden with whom he had two daughters, Ragnhild and Astrid and one son, Harald. As exiles during World War II, Crown Princess Märtha and the royal children lived in Washington, D.C., where she struck up a close friendship with Franklin D. Roosevelt. She died in 1954, before her husband ascended the throne. The British Film Institute houses an early film, made in 1913, in which a miniature car (a "baby Cadillac") commissioned by Queen Alexandra for Crown Prince <mask> tows a procession of Londoners through the streets of the capital, before being delivered to a pair of "royal testers" of roughly <mask>'s age. The car is a battery-powered, one-third size replica on a four-foot wheelbase, and is on permanent loan to the Norsk Teknisk Museum in Oslo.World War II

As Crown Prince, <mask> had received extensive military training and had participated in most major Norwegian military exercises. Because of this he was perhaps one of the most knowledgeable Norwegian military leaders  and was respected by other Allied leaders for his knowledge and leadership skills. During a visit to the United States before the war, he and his wife had established a close relationship with President Roosevelt. These factors would prove to be important for the Norwegian fight against the attacking German forces. In 1939, Crown Prince <mask> was appointed an admiral of the Royal Norwegian Navy and a general of the Norwegian Army. During World War II, <mask> stood by his father's side in resisting the German occupation of Norway. During the campaign he was a valuable advisor both to

 civilian and military leaders.When the Norwegian government decided to go into exile, he offered to stay behind with the Norwegian people, but this was declined. He reluctantly followed his father to the United Kingdom, where he and his staff and servants and aides continued to be a key advisor to the government-in-exile and his father. One source states that <mask> helped "to build and lead a free fighting force" and made radio broadcasts" while in England. <mask> made several visits to Norwegian and Allied troops in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. In 1944, he was appointed to the post of Norwegian Chief of Defence and after the war he led the Norwegian disarmament of the German occupying forces. On 13 May 1945 Crown Prince <mask> and five government ministers returned to a liberated Norway. The arrival was documented in a newsreel by British Pathé News.His war decorations from other nations, including the War Crosses of Norway, France, Greece and the Netherlands, the US Legion of Merit and the French Médaille Militaire, are testament to the international recognition of his contribution to the war against Hitler. Reign

Haakon was injured in an accident in 1955; his son <mask> served as regent until his death. Haakon died at the Royal Palace in Oslo on 21 September 1957. He was 85 years old. After his death, <mask> succeeded him as <mask> <mask>.

<mask> reigned as a "People's King," and became extremely popular. He liked to drive his own cars, and would drive in the public lanes, even though as a monarch he was allowed to drive in bus lanes. When driving was restricted during the 1973 energy crisis, King <mask> – who could have driven legally – wanted to lead by example; while preparing for a skiing trip, he dressed up in his skiing outfit and boarded the Holmenkollbanen suburban railway carrying his skis on his shoulder.When later asked how he dared to go out in public without bodyguards, he replied that "he had 4 million bodyguards" – the population of Norway was at the time 4 million. For his athletic ability and role as King, <mask> earned the Holmenkollen medal

 in 1968, the Medal for Outstanding Civic Achievement in 1970 and was made Name of the Year in 1975. He had a strong interest in military matters and took his role as titular Commander-in-Chief very seriously. As well as his ceremonial roles in the Norwegian Army, he also served as Colonel-in-Chief of the Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Yorkshire Regiment), the British regiment named for his grandmother Queen Alexandra. The King represented Norway extensively abroad during his reign, conducting state visits to both neighbouring countries and more distant destinations such as Ethiopia and Iran. King <mask> V opened the 14th World Scout Jamboree in July 1975 in the presence of 17,259 Scouts from 94 countries. Although the constitution nominally vested <mask> with executive power, he was not responsible for exercising it.One source states that his "duties were largely ceremonial". His acts were not valid without the countersignature of a minister–usually the Prime Minister–who then became politically responsible for the act in question. He had the right to appoint the government, but in practice it was not possible for him to keep a government in office against the will of the Storting. Thus, in practice, his role was mostly representative in nature. Nonetheless, like his father before him, he commanded great moral authority as a symbol of the nation's unity. Illness and death
During the summer of 1990, the King suffered from health problems, but recovered somewhat during Christmas the same year. At the age of 87, on 17 January 1991, while residing in the Royal Lodge Kongsseteren in Oslo, he became ill and died in the evening of a myocardial infarction.An interview given by King <mask> and hints in a biography by Jo Benkow, who was the President of the Storting at that time, mention the possibility that King <mask> suffered great trauma upon learning of the outbreak of the first Gulf War, which began the day of his death. <mask>'s son <mask> succeeded him as King. On the night of his death and for several days up until the state funeral, Norwegians mourned publicly, lighting

The state funeral of King <mask> <mask> was held on 30 January 1991. During the funeral procession from the Royal Palace to Oslo Cathedral, over 100,000 people lined up along Karl Johans gate to pay their respects. Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland gave the eulogy at the funeral, before the casket was moved to Akershus Fortress where a private service was held.<mask> was finally laid to rest next to his wife Märtha in the green sarcophagus of the Royal Mausoleum. Legacy
King <mask>'s leadership during the Second World War made him a symbol of Norwegian independence and national unity. As King <mask>'s wife, Princess Märtha, died of cancer, the King <mask> V's Prize for Cancer Research was established in 1992. A 2005 poll by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation named King <mask> "Norwegian of the Century". In popular culture

<mask> (; born 12 June 1988) is a Chilean footballer who currently plays for Brazilian Serie A club Flamengo and for the Chile national team. <mask> started his career in the youth system of Universidad Católica, and later moved to Italian club Udinese in 2007, where he made his professional debut. His performances earned him a transfer to defending Serie A Champions Juventus where he won consecutive league titles during his first two seasons with the team. In 2014, he was sent on loan for a season to English side Queens Park Rangers, while he also spent the next season on  loan with French club Marseille. <mask> has earned over 130 caps for Chile since his debut in 2007, and represented the nation in two FIFA World Cups (in 2010 and 2014) as well as five Copa América tournaments (in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2021), winning the 2015 and 2016 editions. Club career

Early years
<mask> started in the youth ranks of Universidad Católica in 1999 as a forward. However his lack of height caused him to switch positions to defender, as U Católica lacked quality youth defenders.<mask> played well enough in the new position to earn a call-up to the first team in 2006, but never played an official match and in 2007, coach José del Solar sent him back to the youth team. Udinese

Isla had a notable performance during the summer of 2007 in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada and was thereafter signed by Udinese of the Serie A in Italy on a five-year contract. He can both defend and attack and has been known to turn innocent possession-based games into quick-paced counter-attacks with ease. His technique is well accompanied by a surprising pace and stamina. <mask> made his professional debut on 19 December 2007 versus Palermo in the Coppa Italia. On 8 March 2008, <mask> played his first game as a starter in Serie A also against Palermo, a game which ended in a 1–1 draw. After the departure of Simone Pepe, <mask> often played as a right wing-back in a 3–5–2 formation during Udinese's 2010–11 Serie A campaign, due to a long-term injury to Dušan Basta.In that season, he was instrumental in helping Udinese finish fourth, thus gaining qualification to the 2011–12 UEFA Champions

 League play-off round. Juventus
On 15 June 2012, Juventus announced <mask>'s arrival to a medical ahead of a prospective move to join the team for the upcoming 2012–13 season. Following his move to Juventus, <mask> said moving to Juventus was his dream come true and that he was excited to join his Chilean team-mate Arturo Vidal. <mask> told TVN:This is a dream come true: We are going to be the strongest team in Italy. It is important for me as a player, but it is also vital for my family. I have been working for years to get to this point. In Udine I became a professional.But I have always said that sooner or later I would go to a bigger club like Juve. There I can challenge for trophies. I want to play and win something important, like the Champions League. Loan to Queens Park Rangers
On 6 August 2014, <mask> joined Queens Park Rangers on loan for the 2014–15 Premier League season, with an option of a permanent deal at the end of the season for a reported £8 million fee. He made his debut away against Tottenham Hotspur. He made his home debut in the next league game against Sunderland, adapting to a new right-back role in a changed formation, helping the R's to their first league win and clean sheet of the season. <mask> adapted quickly to the Premier League and this was helped when he was joined at QPR by his national teammate and close friend Eduardo Vargas, who plays just in front of him in QPR's 4–4–2 formation.This started to show when he provided an assist for Charlie Austin against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City. After settling into life in West London, <mask> signaled his intention to take up the option of making the loan permanent at the end of the season. Later years
On 31 August 2015 <mask> was loaned to Marseille by Juventus. On 10 August 2016, <mask> moved to Cagliari for a transfer fee of €4 million. He signed a three-year contract with his new club.

Some Toomey supporters criticized the idea of a <mask> candidacy because, although <mask> was still registered to vote in Pennsylvania, he
