He began his career in the 1960s playing pop and folk music, and appearing on The Andy Williams Show. <mask> wrote several songs that were recorded by successful artists of the time including Glen Campbell, The Monkees, and Andy Williams. After using drugs while travelling on the hippie trail, he suffered mental health problems which worsened over time. He released two solo albums, Apache and Inca, in the early 1970s under the names Maitreya Kali and Satya Sai Maitreya Kali. After spending nearly three years in prison for assaulting his mother, he spent the majority of the next 35 years homeless. Early and personal life

 a band formed to replace the New Christy Minstrels on The Andy Williams Show. From December 1963 to January 1964 <mask> and Storm also performed shows with Gordon and Sheila MacRae, supported by their daughters Heather and Meredith. The Good Time Singers released their debut self-titled album in January 1964, and their second album One Step More in October 1964. In between the albums they had embarked on a 17-city tour. Around this time <mask> began songwriting, and he wrote a song called "Christmas Holiday", which was recorded by Andy Williams for his 1965 album Merry Christmas. As the Good Times Singers' was ending, <mask> and fellow bandmember Lee Montgomery intended to form a new duo called <mask> & Lee, but <mask> had to pull out after successfully auditioning for a new ABC television show, called The Happeners.<mask> had previously unsuccessfully auditioned for The Monkees. The pilot for The Happeners was filmed in November 1965. The Good Times Singers' contract for The Andy Williams Show was not renewed past 1966. 1966–1967: The Happeners and Chris & Craig
After a successful audition process, <mask> won the role of Alan Howard on The Happeners. The show was to be directed by David Greene, and was a mix of acting and singing, set in New York and based on the fictional eponymous folk trio. However, ABC declined to pick up the show following the pilot episode. <mask> and his The Happeners co-star Chris Ducey decided to form a musical duo called Chris & <mask>.They moved into an apartment together and began writing songs. They signed to Capitol Records, recording a number of demos throughout the summer of 1966. Their first single, "Isha", was written by Ducey b/w "I Need You"

 written by <mask>, and was produced by Steve Douglas utilizing session musicians Hal Blaine and Carol Kaye of The Wrecking Crew. It was released in July 1966. Another single, "I Cant't Go On" (written by Ducey), was produced with the same line up. Originally an acoustic duo  utitilizing session musicians, during their later 1966 sessions they began experimenting with a full band, and in November 1966 they played a show supporting the Mothers of Invention with such a full band, with <mask> and Ducey playing electric guitars. Throughout late 1966 and early 1967 the duo continued to write and record more songs, but they were never released by the label.In 1967 <mask> befriended Gábor Szabó and the Beach Boys, unsuccessfully offering to write songs for the latter. In early 1967 Chris & <mask> began playing with a permanent backing band. Through their friendship with Michael Nesmith of the Monkees, they hired Jerry Perenchio as their manager. They changed their name to the Penny Arcade, shortly becoming the Penny Arkade for trademark reasons. 1967–1968: the Penny Arkade
Nesmith began producing <mask> and Ducey, initially pairing them with John London (bass) and Johnny Raines (drums). They were eventually replaced by Donald F. Glut on bass (who had appeared in an earlier incarnation of the band) and Bobby Donaho on drums. While the band worked on their own material, <mask> continued to write songs, including "Salesman" for the Monkees, and "Hands of the Clock" and "Lazy Sunny Day" for Heather MacRae.<mask> was also credited as co-producer for the songs, alongside Bob Thiele. He also wrote "Holly" for Williams. Nesmith took the band into a studio to record their album. One of the songs

 written at this time by <mask> was "Country Girl", which was later recorded and released by Glen Campbell for his Try a Little Kindness album. The album never materialised, but some of the songs were collected and released as Not the Freeze in 2004. After a bad review of one of their live shows, the band decided to concentrate on writing and recording songs. In early 1968 they unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of house band on the TV show Peyton Place.In February 1968 <mask> and his father went into business together, running a bar called the Buckeye Inn. In late 1968 <mask> was associating with the Manson Family, and exploring an interest in Eastern philosophy, particularly Transcendental Meditation. <mask> eventually left the Penny Arkade and decided to go travelling. The band continued without <mask> until 1969, renamed as the Armadillo and with Bob Arthur as a replacement guitarist. 1968: travelling to Asia
After previously smoking small amounts of marijuana with friends, <mask> began using LSD in 1968. During his travels <mask> took LSD on a "regular" basis, and he smoked "copious amounts of hashish" while in Afghanistan. <mask> decided to travel to India alone, with just a guitar and a backpack.He set off to join the hippie trail, arriving in Turkey in October 1968, possibly via Austria and Greece. <mask> met fellow Western travellers (an Irishman and two American women) in Istanbul, and they set off together in a VW van, intending to drive to Delhi. After the van broke down, they hitched a ride in a lorry transporting olive oil, before taking a bus to Iran. They passed through Afghanistan, with <mask> deciding to leave his companions for a few days in Kandahar while they

 travelled on to Kabul. <mask> never joined them in Kabul; when his companions returned to Kandahar a few months later, they heard rumours that he had "gone crazy", running through the market with a knife threatening people, and then disappeared. It later became apparent that after threatening a market vendor, <mask> had been beaten close to death and robbed, and possibly kidnapped and raped. <mask> possibly spent some time in an Afghan insane asylum, where he is thought to have developed acute schizophrenia.It is not known if <mask> ever reached India, although he and his travelogue claims he did visit India and reconnected with the Maharishi and went to Nepal. 1969–1970: return to United States and travelling to South America
<mask> returned to the United States in late 1968 or early 1969, initially living back with his parents. He was possibly institutionalized and medicated for a short period. By this stage he was using the name "Maitreya Kali", which he intended to become his legal name, although this didn't happen until 1971. He continued to receive royalty checks from his historical songwriting for Williams and Campbell, amongst others. After his girlfriend left him, <mask> decided to travel to South America, spending time in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, and the Galapagos Islands of Chile. Returning from South America, <mask> reunited with his girlfriend, and they became engaged.When the engagement ended, <mask> ripped up the wedding dress his fiancée had chosen. Following another brief re-connection, the relationship ended for good when <mask> violently threatened one of her male friends. 1970–1971: deterioration in mental health

 and thought he was a messiah. He prophesied that he would be "King of the World" by 2000. He claimed to be a reincarnation of Jesus, Buddha, and Hitler. As his erratic and bizarre behavior became more pronounced, such as claiming voices were telling him to kill people, his friends started to ignore him. One friend eventually had to obtain a restraining order against <mask>.His appearance became more and more unkempt, with long hair and a wild beard. At one point, he shaved his head and beard off, and dressed in robes, his appearance comparable to a Buddhist monk, although his hair and beard would later grow back. He visited Heather and Sheila MacRae in Miami, and was asked to leave by Sheila's new husband after he woke up to find <mask> standing over their bed with a knife. Heather saw him again in Los Angeles in 1972, when he "looked really scary [...] just totally looked insane, and would say weird things." 1971–1972: Apache and Inca
<mask> wrote two solo albums Apache and Inca in 1971, which were self-released in 1972. In the liner notes to both albums, <mask> claims to have played every instrument. The liner notes as a whole have been described as "bizarre [and] rambling", and display his belief system.Apache was released on his own 'Akashic Records', and features three songs from the Penny Arkade recording sessions. Inca was released a few months after Apache, in the summer of 1972, not as a standalone album but as a double gatefold with Apache on his new 'United Kingdom of America Records' label. Like Apache, Inca also features songs from the Penny Arkade recording sessions. The albums were mainly distributed to <mask>'s friends or sold on the street. 1973–1976: prison

 the albums were released, <mask> sold his car with the intention of going to Ethiopia. His mental health problems continued, such as suggesting to a friend that they fight to the death using samurai swords. He also had a small black spider tattooed in the middle of his forehead in 1972 or 1973.On April 22, 1973, <mask> attacked his mother at the family home. An attempted murder charge was not established, and following a psychiatric examination, he pleaded 'no contest' to a charge of assault. He was sentenced in November 1973 to six months to life, the maximum sentence for the offence, and the Judge suggested intense medical and psychiatric treatment. He began his sentence at the California Institution for Men, before transferring to the Deuel Vocational Institution in December 1973. He transferred again, to the California Men's Colony, in February 1974. He was granted parole at the fourth attempt, and was released from prison in June 1976. 1977–2012: later years and death
Suzannah Jordan, the third member of The Happeners trio, ran into <mask> in LA in 1977; he was homeless but did not display any mental health issues.He drifted in and out of mental hospitals until the mid-1980s when funding was cut, and would then spend the next years homeless. He also had various run-ins with the law. In 1981 or 1982 he saw another old friend and told her he had been recording music. He has been indeed recording music, according to Mike Stax, as late as the late 1990s, which includes the 1994 song "Waves", which was released on the 2018 CD version of the album Love is Our Existence. By the early 2000s his "ramblings" had moved from Eastern philosophy/his Maitreya Kali persona to aliens. <mask>

 Jackson, he visited him on more than one occasion at "The Hermitage," Jackson's home, a few miles outside the city of Nashville, Tennessee. In 1828, he was appointed Secretary of Domestic Missions by the Northern Board of the Missionary Society of the Reformed Church, which resulted in the organizations of Reformed Churches in Utica, Ithaca and Geneva, among others. Serious difficulties embarrassed his administration and though they were eventually amicably adjusted, he resigned the office in 1832. He never afterwards held a pastoral charge, but was frequently a leading member of the ecclesiastical assemblies, and continued to interest himself in the benevolent movements of the Church. Indian Commissioner

In 1832, President Andrew Jackson appointed him one of a Commission to remove the Cherokee and Chickasaw Indians beyond the Mississippi River (later to be known as the Trail of Tears). <mask> helped negotiate the Treaty of New Echota, proposing that in exchange for all Cherokee land east of the Mississippi River, the Cherokees would receive $5,000,000 from the U.S. (to be distributed per capita to all members of the tribe), an additional $500,000 for educational funds, title in perpetuity to land in Indian Territory equal to that given up, and full compensation for all property left behind. The treaty included a clause to allow all Cherokees who so desired to remain and become citizens of the states in which they resided, on individual allotments of  of land.With that clause, it was unanimously approved by the contingent at New Echota,

 then signed by the negotiating committee of twenty, But that clause was struck out by President Jackson. The treaty was concluded at New Echota, Georgia on the 29th of December, 1835 and signed on the 1st of March, 1836. While Indian Commissioner, he acquired large tracts of land in Highland, Grayson, Bath and Wythe Counties, Virginia, in all about 400,000 acres (1,600 km²). After long litigation the disposition of this property finally resulted in favor of his heirs. <mask><mask> moved to Carroll County, Indiana, in 1840. Personal life

He immediately began attempting to share his faith with others in various evangelistic endeavors—door-to-door, street meetings, and jail service, rescue missions, and Youth for Christ venues. Some of his conversations forced him to realize that he needed to find better answers to the objections he was hearing.He subsequently earned two bachelor's degrees, two master's degrees, and a Doctorate. <mask>'s decades of degree work overlap a professorial career begun at Detroit Bible College (1963–66) and continued at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (1969–70) and Trinity College (1970–71). He was later Chairman of Philosophy of Religion at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (1970–79) and Professor of Systematic Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary (1979–88).

<mask> is known first and foremost as a classical Christian apologist. Between 1970 and 1990 he participated in dozens of public debates and gained a reputation as a defender of theism, biblical miracles, the resurrection of Jesus, and the reliability of the Bible. The first attempt to publish an outline of his apologetic method showed up in an appendix of his 1990 book When Skeptics Ask. The appendix is titled "Reasoning to Christianity from Ground Zero" and in it we see a high-level view of the holistic system of classical apologetics he had been developing over the years. The first outline contained fourteen points of argument:

 There are self-evident truths (e.g., "I exist," "Logic applies to reality"). Truth corresponds to reality. Truth is knowable (all other views are self-defeating).One can proceed from self-evident truths to the existence of God. The argument from Creation (proceeds from "I exist")
 The argument from morals (proceeds from

 was later streamlined slightly into a 12-point schema. As of 1999, it could be summarized as follows:

 Truth about reality is knowable. Opposites cannot both be true (The Law of Noncontradiction). It is true the theistic God exists.If God exists, then miracles are possible. Miracles performed in connection with a truth claim are acts of God to confirm the truth of God through a messenger of God. The New Testament is historically reliable. As witnessed in the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be God. Jesus' claim to divinity was proven by miracles, especially the Resurrection. Therefore, Jesus is God. Because Jesus is God, whatever Jesus affirmed as true, is true.Jesus affirmed that the Bible is the Word of God. Therefore, it is true that the Bible is the Word of God and whatever is opposed to any biblical truth is false. These same twelve steps served as the framework for the chapters of the highly popular book I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist in 2004 and for <mask>'s 2012 e-book Twelve Points that Show Christianity is True. Theology
<mask> was a conservative evangelical scholar who wrote a four-volume systematic theology. He defended the full inerrancy of the Bible, being one of the

 co-founders and framers of the "Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy" (1978) and editor of the book Inerrancy (Zondervan, 1978). More recently, he co-authored Defending Inerrancy with William Roach (Baker, 2013). He also co-authored (with William Nix) General Introduction to the Bible (Moody Press, 1986) and From God to Us, revised (Moody, 2012).<mask> considered himself a "moderate Calvinist", as expressed in his book Chosen but Free (Harvest House, 2001) and Systematic Theology, in One Volume (Harvest House, 2012). On the Five Points of Calvinism, he believed:

Total depravity extends to the whole person but does not destroy the image of God in fallen human beings;
Election is unconditional from the standpoint of God's giving it and only one condition for humans receiving it—faith;
The atonement is unlimited in its scope—Christ died for all mankind—but limited in its application to only the elect;
Grace is irresistible on the willing but does not force the unwilling;
All those who are regenerate will, by God's grace, persevere to the end and be saved. Ethics
<mask> wrote two significant books on ethics: Christian Ethics and The Christian Love Ethic. He provided his perspective on ethical options,

texts: abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, biomedical issues, capital punishment, war, civil disobedience, sexual issues, homosexuality, marriage and divorce, ecology, animal rights, drugs, gambling, pornography, birth control, and more. Of the six major ethical systems (antinomianism, situationalism, generalism, unqualified absolutism, conflicting absolutism, and graded absolutism), <mask> advocated graded absolutism, which is a theory of moral absolutism which affirms that in moral conflicts we are obligated to perform the higher moral duty. Moral absolutism is the ethical view that certain actions are absolutely right or wrong regardless of other contexts such as their consequences or the intentions behind them. Graded absolutism is moral absolutism but clarifies that a moral absolute, like "Do not kill", can be greater or lesser than another moral absolute, like "Do not lie".Graded absolutism is also called "contextual absolutism" but is not to be confused with situational ethics. The conflict is resolved in acting according to the greater absolute. That is why graded absolutism is also called the "greater good view", but is not to be confused with utilitarianism (see also prima facie right). <mask>

George "<mask>" <mask> (27 January 1947 – 18 March 2021) was an English table tennis champion, who was England No. 1 player for many years during the 1960s and 1970s. When he retired from professional table tennis he took up a post with the Martin Pipe racing stables as an assistant to the racehorse trainer. Early life

<mask> was born in a maternity home in Forest Gate, Greater London, on 27 January 1947. When he was about a year old his family moved to live on a farm near Basingstoke, Hampshire. <mask>' family also lived for a short period on a farm in Whitley Wood near Reading. In his autobiography, More Than A Match, <mask> sets out the details of how he came to be known as '<mask>'.His father was listening to the radio at the time of his birth when he was asked by the matron of the maternity home what Christian name he was going to be called by. The programme playing on the radio at the time was the <mask> Show, and his father replied: "We'll call him <mask>." The book then goes on to say that <mask> was never actually christened with the name <mask> although he was called by this name by both family and friends and has never been known as George. Early career
At the age of 10 he joined Len Hoffman's Youth Club, close to Godwin Road School, which he attended. Whilst at the school he was selected for the swimming, athletics and cricket teams, and at first had no interest in table tennis. In his autobiography, he states that he first picked up a table tennis bat when visiting a snooker hall with an uncle. He was stopped from playing snooker because the manager at the club felt he was too short and he couldn't see over the table.His uncle, rather than disappoint him, said they could play a game of table tennis instead. It was on this occasion that he picked up a table tennis bat for the first time and realised that there was a lot of skill required to play it well. At the age of 11 he started his secondary education at the Forest Gate County High School. Because of his interest in cricket, he was invited to attend the Essex County Cricket Club Training School in Ilford

It was the experience of having a very fast ball bowled to him by Barry Knight that led him to realise that his sporting future did not lie in cricket, because he felt that it was too dangerous. In his autobiography he says he was never really a 'team' player, so table tennis was more suited to his personal sporting ambitions. During the school summer holidays in 1959, at the age of 12, he took his first step towards becoming a serious table tennis player, when the Len Hoffman Youth Club took a group of boys to Butlin's holiday camp in Clacton.While the other boys in the group tried other activities, he stayed in the table tennis hall, where that he received coaching from Harry Venner, who was the resident coach and an England international at the time. Because he showed a lot of enthusiasm for the game and because of his rapid progress in learning how to play, Venner nominated him for 'Boy of the week' prize, a competition that was sponsored by the News of the World newspaper. Winning this prize meant that he could return later in the summer season for a free week's holiday to receive more coaching. This also gave him the opportunity to be coached by the England No. 1 at the time, Ian Harrison of Gloucestershire. The following year, <mask> again went on holiday with his family to Butlin's, at their Bognor Regis holiday camp. Despite having to compete with the two top England junior boys at the time, Maurice Billington of Warwickshire and Brian Hill from Lincolnshire, he was once again awarded the coveted News of the World 'Boy of the Week' prize, presented by Johnny Leach, the former table tennis World champion.In 1963, aged 16, <mask> became the youngest ever winner of the English Closed Table Tennis Championships. He retained the title for three consecutive years, by winning the competition in 1964 and 1965. At the start of the season of 1963/64 in September, <mask> was ranked at No. 3 in the English senior rankings and at No. 1 in the junior rankings. The top two positions in the English rankings were occupied by

 Harrison and Bryan Merrett, both of Gloucestershire. Harrison had been the England No.1 for the previous four seasons. <mask> successfully defended the English Closed title that he had won the previous year in 1963 and, in early January 1964, when the ETTA published the new English rankings, his reward was to be promoted to the No. 1 spot for the first time in his career. At this time <mask> was still three weeks short of his 17th birthday. Harrison and <mask> became good friends and fierce competitors. They teamed up on many occasions for exhibition matches, the most notable of which was on the BBC live Saturday afternoon flagship sports programme, Grandstand, when they were due to play an international match against the east German national team. Because the German team were delayed in reaching the venue the two top England players put on an exhibition match instead.This match was watched by millions of viewers and did a great deal to lift the profile of English table tennis at the time. Later career
In the course of his table tennis career, <mask> won many tournaments at junior and senior levels of the game around the UK, and also at national and international level. He was a top-ranked player in the world rankings at a time when the men's game was dominated by the Japanese, Chinese, and top European countries, notably Sweden, Yugoslavia and Germany. He was also an exceptional doubles player and played with many of the top men and women players of his day, winning numerous men's and mixed doubles titles. He played on numerous occasions for his county of Essex at the top level of the game, helping them to win the national English county table tennis league on several occasions. He represented England as an international on many occasions and played regularly in the Swaythling Cup, the table tennis equivalent of the Davis Cup. <mask> won the English Closed five times, and turned professional in 1975.The footballer, George Best, was a notable sportsman who had business and work interests outside his sport and, despite his amateur status as a table tennis player, <mask> too

 was making money from modelling and having sports equipment branded with his name. During his amateur career he both attracted and courted controversy. He used a unique square racket, which also catered for his preference for a bat that was heavier than a normal bat. He was one of the earliest British players to adopt the topspin attack style used by the best European and Asian players, along with the smooth reverse rubber used on the new rackets. Because of an old rule forbidding the use of reflective surfaces, this occasionally resulted in disqualification if the rubber became shiny in use. <mask> was regarded as an anti-establishment figure in the world of table tennis, in keeping with the trends of the time, and was frequently in trouble with the English Table Tennis Association, whom he saw as too conservative and even a clique that did not look after the best interests of the players. In his autobiography he described an incident where he issued a public ultimatum to the association to name him the No.1 English player, having already been told behind the scenes that this would happen. The resulting publicity only helped to further his career and bring him more notoriety. Horse Racing career
<mask> later became assistant trainer to Martin Pipe, the British National Hunt trainer who modernised training methods, in much the same way - and sometimes courting the same controversy - as <mask> had in table tennis. He was a key player in helping the handler win the UK Trainers' title on fifteen occasions between 1988 and 2005, running Pipe's telephone tipster line and later producing a daily blog, 'Chester's Chat'. Pipe described him as "the heart and soul of our team". Death
He died on 18 March 2021 from a heart attack. <mask> is survived by his wife Jane,  son Lester and daughter Joanne.Works

He is a four-time runner-up in the British Superbike Championship, and a former race winner in the Superbike World Championship. For the 2015 season <mask> signed for Tommy Hill's Be Wiser Kawasaki Team aboard a Kawasaki ZX-10R in the British Superbike Championship, following his 2014 season with Lloyds British GBmoto squad. Team manager Hill left in August, 2015, and the team folded in September, leaving <mask> without a ride for the final two race meetings of the season. In early 2016, <mask> announced he would no longer participate in superbikes, instead switching to the British Sidecar Championship, initially with a two-year contract. With no previous experience, <mask> stated he was excited by the future opportunities. Like Formula One legend Ayrton Senna, <mask> developed Bell's Palsy in 2002 which paralysed part of his face.He lists his determination as his best feature, and his love of puddings as his worst. He usually races #9. He returned to the grid in 2021 taking on the Ducati TriOptions Cup. Early years and British Superbike Championship 1995–2000
<mask> only started road racing in 1995 after many years as an accomplished motocross rider, but by the end of that year and into 1996 he rose through the ranks with ease and had ridden in Grands Prix and scored points. In 1997 he challenged for the prestigious British Superbike championship with Yamaha, finishing as runner-up to experienced team-mate Niall Mackenzie. He switched to Kawasaki for 1998, winning in the season’s first race, before it became clear that the Yamahas of Mackenzie and Steve Hislop were the bikes to beat. Injury to Hislop allowed <mask> to take 2nd in the series again, a feat he repeated behind Troy Bayliss’ Ducati in

He did however take a second place at Brands Hatch in the World Superbike round that year, the best of his many wild card entries in the UK rounds (and occasionally Assen in the Netherlands) over the years. 500 cc World Championship 2001 and World Superbikes 2002–2006
<mask> made an attempt at the 500 cc World Championship in 2001. He predicted that "For me it's going to be the toughest year ever", which proved accurate, as the factory Shell-sponsored Honda was hard to ride and forced <mask> to override, resulting in many huge crashes. In , he moved to the Superbike World Championship, initially with the Fuchs Kawasaki team. <mask> placed 6th in the championship for GSE Ducati in , and 11th for Carl Fogarty's Foggy Petronas team in , respectively teamed with James Toseland and Troy Corser (both of whom won the title the next season, Toseland riding the  Fila Ducati to success and Corser the Alstare Suzuki in ). In , he joined the PSG-1 Kawasaki Corse team, proving to be the most consistent Kawasaki rider in terms of pace and results, securing one podium finish (3rd place, round 6 at Valencia) and finishing 7th place overall.saw <mask> teamed up with Frenchman Régis Laconi and Spain's Fonsi Nieto on a Kawasaki Europe backed ZX-10R for PSG. <mask> secured his maiden Superbike World Championship race win on 3 September 2006 in Race 1 at Assen, Netherlands in his 131st race.

Despite his finishing position, <mask> was subsequently dropped by PSG for the  season, while Kawasaki still supported PSG as an official factory team. Return to the British Superbike Championship 2007

<mask> initially struggled on the Rizla Suzuki in the British Superbike championship, occasionally outpaced by rookie team-mate Cal Crutchlow. When Neil Hodgson tested the bike some speculated that <mask>'s ride was under threat.The team insisted it wasn't, and at Oulton Park he took third in race one, in tricky conditions which saw many top riders (such as Jonathan Rea, Gregorio Lavilla and Tom Sykes) crash out. This was only his second podium of the season. His points tally for the year was 225, comparing favourably to his team-mate's 152. World Supersport 2008
He was not retained for 2008, but raced in the Supersport World Championship for the very first time in and , for the GIL Kawasaki team alongside teammate Katsuaki Fujiwara. However, the bike was not competitive, and he switched to the Paul Bird VK Vent-Axia team in World Superbikes for the final five rounds of the season. He opened with minor points at Brands Hatch, but crashed twice at Donington Park. British Superbike Championship 2009–2013
For 2009 he was optimistic of a top British Superbike Championship ride, as all the established good riders are gone.He ultimately joined the Henderson Yamaha team, but struggled for much of the year. He was competitive in race 1 at Mallory Park until chaos and controversy struck. He was running second when Josh Brookes lost control of his bike and catapulted race leader Simon Andrews, dropping oil from Brookes' Honda. <mask> was one of five other riders who either crashed or downed their bikes to avoid

The KCNA story also reported that <mask> said he had served during the Korean War as a military adviser to the "Kuwol unit of the U.N.

At the same time, the United States National Security Council issued a statement requesting <mask>'s release, referring to <mask> by name and also calling for the repatriation of Kenneth Bae.A Reuters report published later that day confirmed <mask>'s membership in the Kuwol regiment of the United Nations Partisan Infantry Korea.

After returning to the United States, <mask> declined interview requests from media but casually remarked he had been well taken care of and held in comfortable conditions during his detention. <mask> did not immediately retract his written confession, however, and "smirked" at a reporter who asked him about it. In a subsequent written statement released by <mask>'s family, <mask> declared his confession had been coerced, writing that "the words were not mine and were not delivered voluntarily." In the same statement, however, <mask> confirmed the veracity of the earlier KCNA report that he had requested his North Korean tour guides put him in contact with former anti-communist insurgents, but claimed it was for reasons of "curiosity" and his intention in making contact with guerrilla fighters had been "misinterpreted ... as something more sinister."

<mask> (born 1965) is a Franco-British, self-taught artist, based in London. His practice focuses on photography and photo-realistic paintings. Having been influenced by the psychoanalytical traditions of Freud and Jung, and scientific methods, Graff, regularly addresses in his work themes of identity, concealment, memory and a secular conception of the sacred. In-depth research led Graff to develop Alter Egos such as the scientist ‘Professore’ and the ethno-botanist Dr Albert Frique.

Together with Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Gary Roughead, General <mask> developed a new battle doctrine in 2010, The Air-Sea Battle Doctrine. The Air-Sea Battle Doctrine was an Air Force and Navy integrated battle doctrine which formed a key component military strategy. The Air-Sea Battle Doctrine was developed to deal with the unique challenges of the Western-Pacific arena.It created an institutional partnership and cooperation between the United States Air Force and the United States Navy. Both General <mask> and Admiral Roughead saw the need and importance of joint Air Force and Navy cooperation within the Indo-Pacific region that ultimately lead to the initiation of Air-Sea Battle Doctrine, especially in wartime situations within the Indo-Pacific region. One of the primary goals of Air-Sea Battle Doctrine was interoperability of air and naval forces that could execute networked and integrated in-depth attacks in order to disrupt, destroy and ultimately cripple or defeat the enemy's anti-access/area denial capabilities to sustain and protect the operations area within the Indo-Pacific Region. General <mask> also emphasized the importance of the air-sea operating space for non-combat operations such as disaster relief. General <mask> argued that to ensure the success of this doctrine, improved training, tactics and communications technologies between the Air Force, Navy and Marines, would be needed to allow them to work together better, during both wartime and non-combatant operations.
