<mask> (born November 14, 1983) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. Her work has blended elements of gothic rock, doom metal, and folk music. Raised in Northern California with a country musician father, <mask> began writing and recording songs during her childhood. She earned underground critical acclaim for her releases, The Grime and the Glow (2010) and Apokalypsis (2011), which blended gothic and folk elements, as well as her following albums, Pain Is Beauty (2013), Abyss (2015), and Hiss Spun (2017), in which <mask> incorporated elements of neofolk, electronic and heavy metal. Early life
<mask> was born in Roseville, California, She is of English, Norwegian, and German descent. She was raised in Roseville and Sacramento. Her father was in a country band and owned a home studio.By the age of 7, she had written her first poem and by the age of 9, had written and recorded songs which she later described as "basically Casio-based gothy R&B songs". Of her childhood, <mask> said, "I grew up pretty fast. I had older sisters. By the time I was 11, I was drinking 40s." She also struggled with sleep paralysis as a child and through her teens, which landed her in the hospital for sleep studies; these experiences eventually became material for her albums Abyss and Hiss Spun. <mask> lived with her grandmother during a part of her childhood, who taught her about aromatherapy, Reiki and "other realms". Career

 this, I've got some producer friends' and they helped me make this over-produced, terrible record... I sort of took a break from music for a while since I wasn't happy with what I was making". <mask> later commented that she scrapped the album largely because it had been written about events in her personal life: "I was writing really personal stuff about my own life, and I didn't feel comfortable at all... I didn't want [my music] to be so much about myself, and I just had to find a new perspective". 2010–2012: The Grime and the Glow and Apokalypsis
<mask>'s first widely released album, The Grime and the Glow (2010), was issued on New York-based independent label Pendu Sound Recordings, preceded that same year by the limited-edition albums Soundtrack VHS/Gold and Soundtrack VHS II. Her next album, Apokalypsis (2011), stylized as Ἀποκάλυψις, gained her an underground following, as well as critical acclaim, receiving favorable reviews in Pitchfork and CMJ.<mask> toured extensively in North America and Europe to support both albums, and suffered from extreme stage fright; when she initially began performing live, <mask> would wear a black veil over her face. "Performing was something that I had to learn," she said. "I could barely handle being onstage for the first few years, and it's the reason it took me so long to start my career as a musician". 2012–present: Sargent House

In 2012, <mask> covered five songs by British anarcho-punk band Rudimentary Peni, and issued them as A Tribute To Rudimentary Peni on February 17 as a free download via Pendu Sound.

<mask> has mentioned an array of artists and genres as influences, including black metal and Scandinavian folk music, but has said: "I do have a hard time sticking to one genre, and honestly I prefer it that way.

Aside from gothic and experimental, many critics have dubbed her sound "doom folk".<mask> has said: "I think deep down I wish I had one of those really gritty voices like Kurt Cobain, so maybe I'm making up for it with distorted guitars."

She said, "I grew up listening to my dad playing guitar while singing harmonies... As a kid I wanted to record my own songs so he set me up with an 8-track. The vibe of those earliest songs was like, Aaliyah meets Fleetwood Mac – what I was listening to mixed with what my parents were listening to. "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number" was my favorite song back then." Other musical influences include Vladimir Vysotsky, Selda Bagcan, Nick Cave, Hank Williams, Townes Van Zandt, Suicide, SPK, various "1920s and '30s music", Joy Division, and more recently, Black Sabbath, Sunn O))), Deftones, and Neurosis.In the past she mentioned Burzum as an influence, but later said that she considers Burzum's political views as too extreme. <mask> has cited the visual elements of filmmaker Ingmar Bergman and photographer Nan Goldin as influences, as well as the writings of D.H.

In 2011, Boris Gelfand described Aronian as "the most striking player around, with the highest creative level, in terms both of openings and original ideas in the middlegame." In a 2010 conference, Alexei Shirov said: "<mask> <mask> is the most successful player with an ultra-aggressive style. He achieves this result thanks to his rare intuition in the sharpest positions." In 2012, Sergey Karjakin, speaking about Aronian's style, made an analogy with football and compared him with Lionel Messi. As white, Aronian plays mainly 1. d4. According to Anand, "Though he opens with 1. d4, he treats these positions like an e4-player."<mask> is an expert in the Marshall Attack. Chess school

<mask> was born in 1952. He attended the Woolloomooloo Day Nursery during his pre-school years.His mother Barbara Evans, grandfather Charles Merritt and great grandmother Emily Wedge were indigenous Australians of the Wiradjuri people, Aboriginal farming families at Blakney and Pudman Creeks, New South Wales. In 1965, while riding his bicycle home from Heathcote High School in New South Wales (NSW), he was accidentally hit by a car and became a paraplegic wheelchair user at 13 years of age. After spending twelve months in hospital he returned home to be cared for by his mother, Barbara, and stepfather Robert (Bob) Evans. Prior to the accident he was a champion archer, and a member of the Sutherland Shire Athletic Club. He broke records that held for nine years in shot put and discus as well as long-distance running and sprints. Following his discharge from hospital, he joined the Paraplegic Association of NSW. Due to problems with the steps at primary school, <mask> completed his high school education at Lakemba School for the Handicapped in the suburbs of Sydney.Later he trained to be a printer under a scheme conducted by the New South Wales Disabled Workers' Organisation. The New South Wales Association for training the Disabled in Office Work (NADOW), awarded <mask> the honour of "Trainee of the Year". He was one of the first

The sporting complex at Port Hacking High School, Miranda, a suburb of Sydney, is named 'The Ray Barrett Field' in recognition of <mask>'s sportmanship. Built on an area of the school campus that was originally a wasteland, 200,000 cubic metres of fill, taken from local excavations, was used to fill the site. Plans added in 1974, included a 6-metre running track around the perimeter of the complex.At the tree-planting ceremony in 1977, pupils planted 60 trees around the perimeter of The <mask> Barrett Field that was made available for all community sports. Barret, along with fellow Indigenous Australian Tracy Barrell OAM, was honoured in the 100 years centenary celebration book of the Sutherland Shire 1906-2006

Career
<mask>'s noted official duties in his sporting career included: An official of the Sutherland Athletic Club and timekeeper for the New South Wales Athletic Association, timekeeper at the 'able bodied' National Games Melbourne Australia, appointed an official for the British Commonwealth Games Selection Trials in October 1973. Athletes competing at the 1972 Summer Paralympics Heidelberg, Germany required financial assistance of $1800 to be eligible to attend the Games. <mask> contacted the International Lions Club of Engadine, New South Wales, Australia, who held a fundraising event at the local Returned Servicemens League (RSL) Club and raised $1000 towards the targeted cost. Realizing that additional finance was needed, the club appealed to the Sutherland Shire Council and all local organisations and interested people

Colonel Duane Tyrell "<mask>" <mask>,  (11 August 1910 – 1 November 1995) was a British Special Operations Executive officer who worked as a liaison officer with the Yugoslav Partisans and Chetniks in occupied Yugoslavia during World War II. Early life
<mask> was born on 11 August 1910 in Bromley, Kent, of South African parents. He attended St. Andrew's College in Grahamstown, South Africa, then the Royal School of Mines of the Imperial College London. He was a noted athlete, excelling in boxing, rugby, swimming, riding, skiing, and wrestling. <mask> was described as a "handsome, swashbuckling man" who was said to have been one of the inspirations for James Bond. Having worked as a mining engineer in South Africa, in 1935 <mask> travelled to Yugoslavia where he was involved in mining and did some prospecting. The following year he married a White Russian ballerina, Ada Proskurnikova, living in Yugoslavia.She refused to live near the mine <mask> managed, and they soon divorced. By 1938, <mask> had become fluent in the Serbo-Croatian language. <mask>'s mining activities included work as a consultant mining engineer in Belgrade, and as manager of an antimony mine in Zajača in the Mačva region, where he was working when World War II broke out. World War II
In the autumn of 1939, <mask> was recruited into Section D of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), the section responsible for conducting political covert actions and paramilitary operations in time of war, and was based in Zagreb. During this period, one of Hudsons' SIS colleagues was murdered, and pro-German Croats planted a bomb beneath his office which nearly killed him. He established a sabotage organisation to attack Axis ships in Yugoslav Adriatic ports using limpet mines. Section D was absorbed into the new Special Operations Executive in mid-1940, and SOE headquarters for special operations in the Balkans was established in Cairo.In

On 13 September, <mask> and a small group of Yugoslav military personnel left Cairo by air for Malta on the first leg of a new SOE mission, codenamed "Bullseye". Three days later, they boarded the British submarine HMS Triumph, which landed the party on the coast of the Italian-occupied territory of Montenegro near Petrovac on the evening of 20 September. They were accompanied as far as the shore by Captain Julian Amery. Having left Cairo with little notice, they were forced to supplement their equipment from the submarine's stores. The party consisted of <mask> (using the nom de guerre "Marko"), former Royal Yugoslav Army Major Zaharije Ostojić, and two former members of the Royal Yugoslav Air Force, Major Mirko Lalatović and Sergeant Veljko Dragićević, who was a radio operator.Both Lalatović and Ostojić were Montenegrins. The original intent had been for the party to consist only of Yugoslavs, and <mask> had only been ordered to accompany them 12 hours before they departed. <mask>'s instructions were rather vague; he was expected to "contact, investigate, and report on all groups offering resistance to the enemy, regardless of race, creed or political persuasion". In addition, he was ordered to "discover who is fighting the enemy" and to "coordinate all elements of the resistance". The British did not know much about what was happening inside Yugoslavia in the summer of 1941 other than what they had learned from Ultra intelligence, which showed that German and Italian commanders in Yugoslavia were radioing messages back to Berlin and Rome complaining about attacks from "terrorists" and "bandits", which proved that some sort of resistance was going on. The party was picked up by guerilla units near the coast, and by 26 September they were with

These groups, along with nationalist-led Chetnik groups, were the scattered remnants of the forces that had rebelled against the Italians in July.The Italians had deployed Albanian irregulars to put down the rebellion in Montenegro, and the atrocities committed by the Albanians had generated a local backlash against the Communists who were blamed for recklessly starting an uprising that had no hope of success. The revolt had been suppressed within six weeks, and divisions had begun to appear between those rebels led by communists and those led by the Chetniks. Clashes had begun to occur, and <mask> assessed that the communist-led groups were stronger. Initially based at the village of Radovče, about  north of the Italian headquarters at Podgorica, <mask> radioed Malta recommending that assistance be provided to the communist-led rebels in Montenegro. <mask> reported that the "Montenegrin Freedom Force" had about 5,000 men under arms, and that the Communist Partisans were better disciplined and more committed to fighting than the Chetniks. On 10 September, the British in Malta picked up a radio message indicating that a Colonel Mihailović was leading a guerilla force located in western Serbia. Unbeknownst to <mask>, the Yugoslav members of his party were already aware of this, and they had been ordered by the Yugoslav government-in-exile to travel to Mihailović's headquarters as soon as possible.On 9 October <mask> was made aware of Mihailović's existence by his British contacts, and he was also ordered to journey to western Serbia, as Mihailović did not have radio codes to encrypt his messages. <mask> and Ostojić departed for Serbia around 13 October, accompanied by Jovanović, Đilas and another senior Partisan, Mitar Bakić.

At Tito's headquarters
<mask>, Ostojić and the Partisan leaders travelled through Partisan-held liberated territory in Montenegro and the Sandžak to the valley of the West Morava river valley in the German-occupied territory of Serbia, during which <mask> further developed a favourable opinion of the Partisan organisation. The party arrived at Užice, the centre of the so-called Užice Republic around 25 October.<mask> met Josip Broz Tito, who was introduced to him by his pseudonym  "Tito". He offered Tito the necessary technical information to communicate with SOE Cairo, if Tito could provide a radio. He advocated that Tito take up his offer, if only so that Tito could make his own case for material support. He told Tito that he also intended to visit Mihailović. Tito received <mask> cordially, but was noncommittal. At this point, relations between Tito and Mihailović were finely poised but the likelihood of ongoing cooperation was low. Tito did not share information about Partisan dispositions with <mask>, and <mask> emphasised that British interests were best served by a unified Yugoslav resistance.Tito, for his part, indicated to <mask> that he wanted to avoid conflict with Mihailović, but considered that all former Yugoslav officers had been compromised by its disastrous showing during the invasion. Tito told <mask> that if Mihailović would not cooperate with him, he expected that the Chetnik leader would not interfere with Partisan operations against the Germans. <mask> witnessed the Partisans fighting the Germans around Krupanj, then returned to Užice.

 In the meantime, Ostojić had visited Mihailović and returned with a message from the Chetnik leader that <mask> should travel on to Mihailović's headquarters as soon as possible. Having left his wireless sets behind in Montenegro, <mask> had no contact with SOE Cairo during his stay in Užice. At Mihailović's headquarters
<mask> left Užice on or around 25 October, and arrived at Mihailović's headquarters at the village of Brajići on the foothills of Ravna Gora on that day. Immediately upon his arrival, <mask> was upbraided by Mihailović for having been with the "communist rabble", and when <mask> advised the Chetnik leader that he would be visiting Tito from time to time, Mihailović threatened to break of relations with the British if that occurred.Less than two days after <mask>'s arrival at Ravna Gora, Tito and Mihailović met to make one last effort at forming a joint command, but despite Tito's request that <mask> be present during the negotiations, Mihailović insisted it was not necessary. Despite a provisional agreement, the two leaders were at cross-purposes; Tito would not place himself or his forces under Mihailović's control, and would not conform with Mihailović's urging that he cease attacks on the Germans. By this time, Mihailović knew from Ostojić that he had official recognition from the Yugoslav government-in-exile, who had also promised British recognition and support. The situation in western Serbia was one of incipient civil war. Despite some jointly-held towns and joint operations by Partisans and Chetniks, an atmosphere of creeping distrust predominated between the two camps. <mask> himself still had no access to a wireless. Lalatović and Dragičević had arrived in Užice after <mask>'s departure, but Lalatović had travelled on to Ravna Gora without Dragičević and the remaining working transmitter because Dragičević refused to accompany him.Dragičević joined the Partisans and became

 an important Partisan wireless operator. <mask> was able to use Mihailović's radio, but from 2 November, Mihailović, confident of British support, began instigating clashes with Partisan bands, which <mask> was powerless to prevent. After the air delivery of some funds for Mihailović, <mask> sent a message to Cairo recommending that British support to Mihailović be conditional upon his co-operation with the Partisans. When the British government accepted <mask>'s recommendation, Mihailović considered <mask>'s actions to be sabotage, and their working relationship broke down. Tito, for his part, was unaware of <mask>'s initial attempts to mediate, and that the airdrop of funds was undertaken against his advice. This meant that Tito also distrusted <mask>. In mid to late November, <mask> managed to get involved in three meetings between Chetniks and Partisans aimed at establishing a truce and a joint operational headquarters.The Partisans maintained that they would do so, but would not accept Mihailović assuming overall command. The Yugoslav government-in-exile even put pressure on Mihailović to work with the Partisans. The Failure of the Mission
Hudson's attempts to persuade the Partisans and Chetniks to work together to fight against the enemy completely failed and soon the two groups were fighting each other. For months, <mask> found himself on his own, living a hardscrabble existence, evading the German and Italian forces who were occupying Yugoslavia, and fruitlessly attempting to end the civil war between the Partisans and the Chetniks. Poland
In the last months of World War II, <mask> headed a SOE mission in Poland that was meant to liaison with the Home Army. <mask>'s work was cut short when he was arrested by the NKVD, and he was imprisoned for a short time in the Lubyanka. Afterwards, he was returned to Britain.Missing funds

 pay for anti-Nazi fighters. He was given more than £80,000 in sovereigns and diamonds, worth over £1.75m in today's currency, which he partially buried in peasant villages. He later confessed that after the war, parts of the treasure were buried, with the aim of retrieving it on his own account when the war ended. Afterwards, while he was working for the army in Romania, documents show that <mask> recruited Stephen Zollner, a Hungarian Jew buying timber for the British government around eastern Europe, to retrieve the treasure. Zollner managed to acquire three parts of the buried treasure, and sent them to <mask> in a diplomatic bag. The Yugoslav authorities caught him, however, and Zollner confessed everything. Later life
<mask> later moved to South Africa, where he died on 1 November 1995.The swimming complex at St. Andrew's College was named in his honour when, upon his death, he left the school a considerable amount of money for new pool facilities. Upon his death, the D.T Hudson Trust was created as a charitable trust. Amongst other activities, the trust sponsors schools in South Africa and takes a view to uniting the churches of the region in this pursuit. In popular culture
<mask> spoke six foreign languages and had a reputation as a ladies' man. According to The Sunday Times, Ian Fleming used <mask> as a model for his character James Bond, although it has also been suggested that the character was modelled on his brother, Peter Fleming. See also

texts:
<mask> (born 8 November 1951) is an Australian paleontologist, geologist, and author who specializes in the study of fossil soils (paleopedology). His research has examined the fossil record of soils though major events in Earth history, extending back some 4.6 billion years. Among his publications he has written two standard paleopedology textbooks, said N. Jones in Nature Geoscience "Retallack has literally written the book on ancient soils." Biography

Retallack moved with his family from Hobart, Tasmania at age 4. He grew up in Hurstville and then Epping, in the suburbs of Sydney. He attended The King's School, Parramatta, then studied biology and paleontology at Macquarie University. He received a BSc Hons with University Medal in 1974 from the University of New England (Australia) and a PhD in 1978 in geology from the same university.After a postdoctoral fellowship at Indiana University he joined the faculty at the University of Oregon in 1981. He has been a professor in the Department of Geological Sciences since 1992, and Director of the Condon Collection of the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History since 2009. Work

Evolution of life on land

In 1973, Retallack discovered that paleosols were preserved among fossil roots below some kinds of fossil plant horizons and that paleosols could reveal aspects of plant communities difficult to infer from the fossil plants themselves. This novel approach to reconstructing life on land could be applied to understanding major events in evolution, sometimes supplementing and sometimes challenging prior understanding. Initial work was on Triassic vegetation and climate. Later construction of Cenozoic paleoclimate time series led to the idea that grassland-grazer coevolution was responsible for climatic cooling over the past 50 million years, which has

In a study of soils at 84 temples of Classical Greece, Retallack discovered that each deity and cult was associated with a particular kind of soil, suggesting an economic basis for Greek polytheism. Dionysos and Demeter, for example, were gods of farming, Hermes and Hera gods of pastoralists and Apollo and Artemis gods of nomadic hunter-gatherers

Boards

Retallack has served as an associate or technical editor for such scientific journals as Geology, PALAIOS, and Journal of Sedimentary Research. His fellowships include the Geological Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He served as the president and vice president of the Cordilleran Section of the Paleontological Society, of the Oregon Academy of Sciences, and of the University of Oregon Chapter of the Society of Sigma Xi.Critical reception

Early reviews of <mask>'s textbooks have been positive. Of Soils of the Past, David Fastovsky concludes "it is requisite for all persons trying to understand paleosols". Of A Colour Guide to Paleosols, Daniel Yaalon concludes "Highly recommended for students and researchers alike for an introductory insight to paleopedology and to whet and refine their skills in paleosol interpretation." Both reviews however baulked at the unfamiliarity of soil science terminology and classification in these texts. Retallack's approach to the description and interpretation of paleosols has been widely adopted. Some controversy concerned use of modern soil taxonomies for paleosols, but Retallack's approach has since been validated by development of additional geochemical proxies for soil taxonomic criteria. Retallack's confirmation of abrupt paleoenvironmental change on land at the Cretaceous-Tertiary and Permian-Triassic boundaries, have been supported by later

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as an outfielder from  through  — most notably as a member of the Atlanta Braves — and eventually with the Chicago White Sox and California Angels. Garr’s career year was , when he was a National League (NL) All-Star and won the NL batting title. Garr was a free swinger who could confound defenses by hitting to all parts of the outfield. He batted .300 or better five times during his career. In 2006, Garr was inducted into the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame. Face in the Crowd
Garr was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and worked as a shoe shine boy at a local barber shop growing up.After graduation from Lincoln High School in Ruston, Louisiana, he attended historically black Grambling State University in Grambling, Louisiana. In , as a second baseman for the Grambling State Tigers baseball team, Garr led the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics with a record .585 batting average to lead his team to a 35–1 regular-season mark. His accomplishment earned mention in Sports Illustrateds "Faces In The Crowd" right around the same time he was being drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the third round of the 1967 Major League Baseball draft. Early years
Though Garr was a fast runner and good contact hitter, he was a below average infielder. He was converted to an outfielder with the Shreveport Braves in , and remained in the outfield for the rest of his career. After two minor league seasons in which he batted .287 with 53 runs batted in (RBI), Garr made the jump from Double A to the majors in September 1968. The speedy Garr appeared in 11 games

 with the Braves, but never needed his glove once, as he was used as a pinch hitter or pinch runner in each of his appearances, and never once was kept in the game.Regardless, he earned an invite to Spring training , and started the season as the Braves' everyday left fielder when Rico Carty dislocated his shoulder. Upon Carty's return, <mask> was optioned to their Triple A affiliate, the Richmond Braves, then returned in September when rosters expanded. Overall, he batted .222 in 22 games. <mask> again made the Braves out of spring training , and resumed the role he had at the end of the 1968 & 1969 seasons. He appeared in 16 games with the Braves through May, but had already earned a reputation as something of a defensive liability at this point in his career, and never once took the field. He was optioned back to Richmond at the end of May, and went on to bat an International League record .386 with seven home runs, 51 RBI, and a league best 39 stolen bases. He returned to Atlanta in September as a fourth outfielder, and batted .302 in 91 plate appearances."Road Runner"
In 1970, Rico Carty injured his left knee playing Winter ball in the Dominican Republic, and was lost for the entire  season. Garr seized the opportunity, batting over .400 through the middle of May, and earning the nickname "Road Runner'''" due to his speed. On May 17, against Tom Seaver and the New York Mets, Garr hit a solo home run with two outs in the tenth inning to tie the game. He hit a second home run in the 12th for the walk-off victory. Garr became so popular with fans in Atlanta that the Braves negotiated exclusive big-league baseball rights with Warner Bros. Cartoons to use animated scenes of the Looney Tunes character

By the end of the season, Garr's batting average cooled off to .343, good for second best in the NL to the St. Louis Cardinals' Joe Torre. He also scored a career high 101 runs batting second in the Braves' batting order.Unfortunately, <mask>'s defensive shortcomings (he led N.L. outfielders with 11 errors) caused him to lose his starting job in left field when Carty returned to the Braves in . He still appeared in 134 games and managed a .962 fielding percentage manning all three outfield spots. His .325 batting average was again second best in the league (this time to the Chicago Cubs' Billy Williams). At the end of the season, Carty was traded to the Texas Rangers, opening a permanent spot for Garr. Garr again put up solid offensive numbers in  (.299 batting average, 11 home runs, 94 runs scored, and a career high 55 RBI and 35 stolen bases), but his weak glove made him trade-bait at the 1973 Winter meetings. Needing to strengthen their infield defense as well, the Braves had a deal in place that would have sent Garr to the Philadelphia Phillies for shortstop Larry Bowa, however it fell through.Instead, he remained in Atlanta, and put together the best season of his career, flirting with a .400 batting average for much of the first half of the season. He had 149 hits heading into the All-Star break that year, a record which stands to this day, to earn selection to the National League All-Star team (he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout). He ended the season with a league best .353 average, and also led the NL in hits (214) and triples (17). Garr spent

The contract dispute went to arbitration, with <mask> winning to become the highest paid player on the team, and the first player in major league history to double his salary through arbitration. Despite an excellent spring, and going into the season with confidence, Garr's average dipped to .278 in 1975. He did, however, lead the league in triples (11) for a second year in a row.<mask> and Larvell Blanks were traded to the Chicago White Sox for Ken Henderson, Dick Ruthven and Dan Osborn on December 12, 1975. Chicago White Sox
Disarray was something of a theme for the  White Sox as Jorge Orta, the second baseman with the 1975 team Chuck Tanner managed was used at third and left field in 1976 by new manager Paul Richards. Likewise, <mask>'s role with the Chisox in 1976 was similar to the one he had with the Braves in 1972; he had no regular outfield position, and his playing time was split evenly between all three outfield spots. The formula proved unsuccessful as the Sox narrowly avoided a hundred losses in 1976. For his part, Garr batted an even .300, and was second on the team to Orta with 63 runs scored. Bob Lemon replaced Richards at the helm in , returning Orta to second base, and returning <mask> to left field. The Chisox did a complete 180 that year as they won ninety games to finish third in the American League West.<mask> batted an even .300 for the second year in a row, while improving substantially in every other offensive category.

His notoriously bad fielding was also becoming an issue again. He and pitcher Francisco Barrios became embroiled in a fight on August 10, following a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, over an incident in their August 7 matchup with the Kansas City Royals. With Barrios pitching, Garr threw a ball he fielded off the wall to the wrong base, allowing a runner to score. It was the second run-in between the two.Garr started the  season in left field, but shortly after Tony La Russa replaced Don Kessinger as White Sox manager, Garr was replaced by a revolving door of left fielders, with Alan Bannister, Thad Bosley, Junior Moore, and Wayne Nordhagen all manning the position at one point or another. Rumors circulated that it was by Garr's choice; he refused to take the field following an August 5 rock concert held at Comiskey Park that left the field in tattered condition (American League (AL) President Lee MacPhail actually canceled games at Comiskey later in the month due to the poor conditions of the outfield). On September 20, with only nine games left on the schedule, Garr's contract was sold to the California Angels. Garr was used as a designated hitter in California, but managed to bat just .167 in that role, and was released on June 6, . In retirement

<mask>'s writings were criticised by Armenian historians Armen Ayvazyan and Armen Petrosyan, who conclude that <mask> is making gross factual mistakes together with unsubstantiated and tendentious claims on Armenian history and culture. Ayvazyan considers <mask>, along with a number of other leading American armenologists, to be one of the representatives of the "false Western school of Armenian studies". Bert Vaux, an Associate Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at Harvard University, claims that <mask>'s "chair [of Armenian Studies] is actually hurting the [Armenian] community at this point. When you call the Armenians neo-Nazis, that isn't helping the community and it's not leaving it alone - it's hurting it. You are providing fodder for people that want to

 attack the Armenians." In his speech at the conference "Rethinking Armenian Studies: Past, Present, and Future" on October 4, 2002 at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, <mask> cautioned the audience against the "conspiracy theories, xenophobia, and ultra-nationalist pseudo-science [which] have come increasingly into the mainstream of Armenology in the Armenian Republic" and which have found sympathetic outlets in some of the diasporic press, where paranoia and anti-Semitism have been notably present. "It is a task of the community to set its house in order because these trends are in the end suicidal," he warned.Although Prof. <mask> declines to debate such issues, he stated that "I will help with my pen what I still believe to be the great majority of Armenians to expose and destroy the sort of people who are not only dragging our field, but possibly the community itself into dangerous territory".

<mask> (1 February 1914 – 26 February 2001) was a Turkish archaeologist, and she is considered to be the first Turkish woman to have been active in the discipline. She led excavations in Perga and Side which resulted in the expansion of the Antalya Museum. Her restoration work on the Temple of Apollo in Side was noted for its significance to Turkish heritage. Her scientific work on the "Weary Hercules" statue in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston formed the legal basis for return of the bust of the statue to the Antalya Museum to be reunited with the statue's base. The Antalya Women's Museum has an annual award named in her honour which recognizes the woman of the year. Early life

During the beginning decades of the Turkish Republic, he brought transformation to curatorial work in the country by systematically cataloguing the holdings and utilizing laboratories to scientifically restore objects and artifacts.He also opened galleries to the public expanding museum collections and encouraged his daughter in her desire to study archaeology. After graduating from the Erenköy Girls High School in 1934, her father helped her secure a scholarship to study abroad, since there was no opportunity for her to continue studies in Turkey. Studying in Germany, with the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation scholarship, Ogan began her archaeological training in Berlin, at the German Archaeological Institute. The following year, she was awarded a

 scholarship to continue studying by the Turkish government. Despite the war, Ogan was determined to complete her doctorate and though bombs regularly fell on the city, she took her thesis and notes into a bunker continuing to work. Ogan graduated in 1943 after completing her doctoral thesis, Kunstgeschichtliche Untersuchung der Opferhandlung auf römischen Münzen (Examination of Art History in Sacrifice Rituals on Roman Coins), alongside . Career
Ogan returned to Turkey 1943 and became an assistant to , Chair of Ancient History and Numismatics for the University of Istanbul.In 1944, she married <mask>, a civil engineer and instructor at the Istanbul Technical University, and the following year gave birth to their son, Hüseyin <mask>. She spent the next two years taking photographs of artifacts and organizing the archive at the university. In 1946, she worked with  to found a chair of classical archaeology at Istanbul University, as previously the university had no independent archaeological department. That same year, she began excavations with Mansel on the site at Perga working on the Temple of Artemis. The following year, they began digs at Side, initially working on the site of the Temple of Apollo, continuing their excavations until 1966. During this period, in 1962, the conversion of one of the baths on the site into a museum was completed under <mask>'s direction and the Antalya Museum had to be expanded twice to house the findings. <mask> began publishing articles in both German and Turkish on her studies of sculptures.The first was an evaluation of Roman portraits from the Anatolia region, Antalya bölgesi Roma devri portreleri: Römische Porträts aus dem Gebiet von Antalya (Roman

In 1967, <mask> was put in charge of the excavations at Perga and that same year, a large group of bronze statues appeared in the United States with a murky provenance, but with claims of possible origin in south-west Anatolia. İnan began working to try to verify the actual location of origin in 1973. Unlike other finds in which the sites were known and misappropriated pieces later appeared in museums, the bronzes were unique in that the pieces appeared in a museum but their place of origin was unknown. From 1970 to 1972, İnan worked at a dig site in the ancient city of Cremna in the Pisidia region and then between 1972 and 1979 excavated at Seleucia along the  Mediterranean coast north of Manavgat, uncovering the city agora, as well as several baths and the temple structure. Dated to the Hellenistic period, the agora was constructed in the Ionic Order and contained decorations depicting the Seven Sages of Greece as well as mosaics. She was appointed as a full professor at Istanbul University in 1974, and upon Mansel's death, the following year was elevated to the head of the archaeology department.In 1980, while excavating at Perga, İnan uncovered the bottom half of a 2nd-century AD copy of Lysippos' "Weary Heracles". Rumors at the dig had led them to a workman who was suspected of taking statuary, but no one suspected that the upper torso of the statue was stolen. The following year, the missing half surfaced in New York. The bottom half of the statue was displayed at the Antalia Museum and the upper half was displayed at MFA, after their 1982

Though she retired from the university in 1983, <mask> continued to work, beginning excavations again in Perga at the Theater in 1985 continuing her work there until 1992. In 1990, İnan uncovered the Sebasteion, or imperial cult temple, in a dig at Bubon, which she attributed as the place which had housed the bronze statues she had first heard of in 1967.Her findings were published in the book, Boubon Sebasteionu ve heykelleri üzerine son araştırmalar in 1994. The bronzes were said to have been brought to the Burdur Archaeological Museum with an unknown origin, but due to the unauthorized excavations reported at Bubon at that time and the similarities to artifacts found there, İnan began her investigation at that location. From the looter's diary and examination of scattered pieces of arms, heads and torsos held in various collections worldwide, she confirmed that the building had inscriptions for fourteen statues. Though her attribution of seven statues to the Bubon site gained wide acceptance in archaeological circles, the scattered nature of the pieces and the unauthorized excavation of the statues have raised doubts by other researchers. In 1990, a journalist, Özgen Acar was attending an exhibition at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and went to see the private collection of Shelby White and Leon Levy. He spotted the statue and thought that it looked familiar. After publishing photographs of the statue in the American art magazine Connoisseur, İnan did a photo stitching of the bust portion and agreed with Acar

At her own expense, <mask> made a second trip, with a plaster cast made by an American sculptor, which the Turkish government had hired, in 1992. The second cast conclusively proved the two parts were of the same statue, but the MFA continued to fight returning the piece to Turkey until 2011.
