Marthinus Theunis "<mask><mask> (29 September 1925 – 8 March 2015) was a South African rugby union centre. Along with Ryk van Schoor he formed one of the great post-war centre partnerships in rugby. <mask> played club rugby for University of Stellenbosch and provincial rugby for Western Province. He was capped for South Africa eleven times between 1949 and 1953 first representing the team against the 1949 touring New Zealand side. He was later selected for the 1951–52 South Africa rugby tour of Great Britain, Ireland and France. The touring team is seen as one of the greatest South African teams, winning 30 of the 31 matches, including all five internationals. Personal history
<mask> was born in Stellenbosch in 1925 and educated at Stellenbosch Boys' High School before matriculating to Stellenbosch University where he studied accountancy.He was universally known as "Tjol", a family nickname. He became a partner in a large firm of accountants in East London before retiring in 1991. He was married twice, his first wife died in 1970 after a short illness, and was later married to Trudie, with whom he lived in a retirement home in Somerset West. He was the last surviving member of the 1949 Springboks who beat the New Zealand 'All Blacks' in all four Tests of their tour of South Africa, before he died on 8 March 2015. Rugby career

1949 New Zealand tour of South Africa
Lategan was originally not selected for the Springboks, when the New Zealand 'All Blacks' arrived in South Africa for their 1949 tour. Playing his club rugby for Stellenbosch University, he had been dropped to the University's second team when New Zealand faced Western Province, for which Lategan was also not required. But after the Western Province back line produced a disappointing display in that match he was called directly into the South Africa squad for the first Test at Cape Town.In his first Test

Five days later he played against Oxford University, rejoined by a fit-again van Schoor. This was followed just two days later by another trip to Wales, this time playing against a joint Neath/Aberavon side. On 24 November <mask> and van Schoor were partnered for the fourth time at international level when South Africa faced Scotland at Murrayfield. The decision to choose Lategan over Fry was made just hours before the kick-off. South African rugby journalist R.K. Stent, described Lategan as having a 'Big Moment' temperament, believing he hit his best form of the tour against Scotland.The Scotland game became a rout, with South Africa winning 44–0. <mask> scored his first points of the tour during the game with a try in the 59th minute when he gathered a dropped Scotland pass to run fifty yards, beating Burrell, and scoring under the posts. <mask>'s next match was against Ulster on 1 December, and followed this with the tour's second Test, against Ireland at Lansdowne Road a week later. South Africa won 17–5, setting up a big encounter with Wales a fortnight later. Lategan played in the next match, a bruising encounter against Munster, but was then rested against Swansea, before being called back into the squad for the third Test, the match with Wales. There were some concerns about a slight ankle injury Lategan was carrying after the Munster game, but he was selected anyway. The Wales game was a very tight encounter played mainly through forward play.Despite this, <mask> was key to the result when he managed to find a gap in the Welsh defence after a short pass from Brewis. As he crossed the 25-yard line, <mask> lobbed the ball over Ken Jones' head which was collected by Chum Ochse who scored a try in the corner. This was

 South Africa's only try of the game, and the Springboks won by a narrow 6–3 margin. <mask> was rested for the next two matches, but was again called in for the Test match against England, the final international before South Africa travelled to France. England were beaten 8–3. <mask> played in three of the final matches held in Britain, Western Counties, South of Scotland, in which he scored his second try of the tour, and the encounter with the Barbarians. He played in two of the matches in France, scoring in the 20–12 victory of south-Western France, and the Final Test and game of the tour against the French national team.The 25–3 win gave <mask> his eighth straight international victory. 1953 Australia tour of South Africa
Latagen played in the first two Tests against the touring Australia team of 1953. The first game, played at Johannesburg saw South Africa win 25–3, where Lategan was joined at centre by his old team mate van Schoor. The next Test, played on 5 September, saw Lategan part of a losing international side for the first, and only, time. South Africa were beaten at Cape Town by a narrow 14–18 scoreline. The loss was blamed on the Springboks desire to please the crowd by switching away from their normal kicking game, to one based on running with the ball. Whether Lategan would have been replaced, like several other members of the team is unknown as he badly injured his arm before the third Test, which kept him out of rugby for a year.Although Lategan continued to play rugby switching from Western Province to Boland during the 1953/54 season, he never represented South Africa at international level again.

Club career

América

<mask> made his debut with América during the Clausura 2004 tournament against Monterrey, being only 18 years old when called up by head coach Leo Beenhakker. <mask> quickly demonstrated his skill and talent in goal, and the young goalkeeper was thrust into the spotlight to replace injured veteran Adolfo Ríos. He would then share the starting job with Ríos after he recovered from his aforementioned injury. At the conclusion of his first season, he won the Rookie of the Tournament award.When the Apertura 2004 tournament began, <mask> was thought to be the heir apparent to Ríos, who had retired. However, new head coach Oscar Ruggeri brought new goalkeepers with him, among them Argentine Sebastián Saja.

 three over-age reinforcements for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, his second participation at the Olympic Games after 2004.He won the bronze medal with the Mexican Olympic team. Style of play
Karla Villegas Gamas of Bleacher Report has described him "proven to be a save keeper, with confidence and leadership. Despite [then] being 28 years old, <mask> knows how to organize the defense and push his teammates toward perfection; it's no wonder why he wore El Tri's captain armband last March [2013]. His experience is vast, and that is why he knows how to handle pressure. Paco Memo has played in some of the most important tournaments in world football, such as the Confederations Cup, Gold Cup and Copa America. <mask>’s aerial game is enviable. He can catch a cross or a shot, but he can also deflect them with high dives with the top hand and punches.But those are not his only assets. His reflexes are so sharp that he can perform a collapse dive with one hand with ease, even if he has just rejected a shot. When the rivals made it past the defense, Ochoa knows how to work inside the box to cover his goal as much as possible by narrowing the angle." Ochoa has cited Peter Schmeichel as an influence on his playing style. Personal life
In 2005, Ochoa dated Mexican actress, singer and songwriter Dulce María. The pair split a year later. After his move to France, Ochoa began dating Mexican model Karla Mora.On 8 February 2013, Mora gave birth to a girl, Lucciana, in Corsica. The couple welcomed their second child, a son, on 1 April 2015, one day after Ochoa's national team teammate Andrés Guardado's son was born. They were married in Ibiza, Spain on 8 July 2017. The couple's second daughter was born in May 2019. <mask> plays internationally with shirt number 13, in reference to his birthday which is on 13 July.

<mask>,  (26 March 1918 – 18 February 2011) was an Israeli chemist. Lewin worked in polymer, fiber and nanotechnology research. Until his death, a month before his 93rd birthday, <mask> was in charge of a research program at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. In 2009, he was appointed as editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia on Fiber science and Engineering, to be published by Wiley in New York. <mask> obtained 29 U.S. and European patents and published 175 peer-reviewed publications. He was the founder (1990) and editor-in-chief of the international monthly journal Polymers for Advanced Technologies (PAT). PAT sponsors international biannual symposia for scientists, and <mask> often served as chairman, co-chairman or honorary chairman.Biography

<mask> <mask> was born in Sokoły, Poland on 26 March 1918, and was educated at the "Tachkemoni" school and at the Hebrew gymnasium "Tarbut" in Białystok. In 1926, he joined the youth movement "Betar". In 1933, he moved to Łódź and graduated from high school at the "Yitzchak Katznelson" grade A gymnasium. The first year of <mask>'s academic studies was in the Wszechnica Lodzka. From 1935 to 1937, <mask> helped Ze'ev Jabotinsky during his visits to Łódź to organize lectures for Jews, in which he called on Jews to emigrate to Israel without delay. He served as deputy commander of the Łódź branch of Betar and as district officer of the Łódź district. He immigrated to Palestine in 1937 to study chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.<mask> joined the "National Military Organization" (Ha'Irgun HaTzva'i HaLe'umi) and established with three other students an underground laboratory of war

 materials. In June 1939, Lewin was arrested by the British Mandate police, severely tortured, and sentenced by a military court to 4 years imprisonment with hard labor, which he served in prison in Jerusalem, the Atlit hard labor camp, the Acre fortress and the Mizra prison. After his release from British prison, Lewin continued his university studies, receiving an MSc in chemistry in 1945 and a PhD in 1947. In 1947, <mask> was recruited into the army and joined the Hemed science corps. He served in the army until 1950 and within this framework, took part in the establishment of the Air Force Research Department and managed the fuel and fabrics testing laboratories. <mask> was married to Esther Rachel, with whom he had three children - Dorit Dinur,  Yitzchak <mask>, and Yehudit Weisinger. <mask> died in Jerusalem on February 18, 2011, and was buried on Har HaMenuchot.Scientific career

In 1950, Lewin joined Professor S. Sambursky in the establishment and organization of the Research Council of Israel in the prime minister's office. In this capacity, Lewin dealt with scientific research planning in key areas important to Israel, and began researching natural polymers, such as the fibers found in local vegetation that can serve as renewable raw materials for industry. In this field, Lewin initiated studies on the chemistry and technology of forest trees, wild plants and agricultural waste. As a result of studies carried out in collaboration with the agricultural researcher Prof. <mask> Plaut, Lewin initiated the renewed cultivation of flax for linen production. For the research, 5,000 acres of flax fields were sown in the south, and the Flax Company was

To find an economic basis for settlement in the Arava which was found to have salty groundwater, Lewin initiated an extensive survey of wild plants growing in the Arava, including the juncus plant. The study revealed that juncus fibers have special features for manufacturing fine papers.The Desert Plants Company was established and a juncus plantation of 75 acres was founded, watered by salt water in the area of Yotvata near the Jordanian border. In the chemical and technological research conducted by <mask> and his students, the chemical composition, morphology, and methods of production of fibers were tested for their suitability to produce different types of paper. In one study, conducted on papyrus growing in the Hula Valley swamps, an original process was developed to produce high-quality insulation boards. Another study conducted by <mask> and his team was carried out on the industrial uses of agave sisalana plant debris, planted in the 1960s on large areas in southern Israel by the Jewish National Fund. In this study, processes were developed for producing various chemicals from the waste left over after producing sisal fibers; namely, the hecogenin used to produce steroidal drugs, a process originally developed and patented for cortisone production by Cornforth and Callow in the 1950s for Glaxo. In 1951, <mask> founded the Association for Textile Research in collaboration with manufacturers in order to perform research for the development of Israeli industry. It was the first research association and was followed by similar associations in other industrial

In the 1970s, there were 120 employees, including 40 PhD scientists. Several departments in the Institute performed research on polymers, synthetic and natural fibers, mechanical engineering, the chemistry of fabric curing processes and chemical additives for industrial use, detergents and cleaning, physics of fibers and fabrics, use of fibers in medicine and biotechnology, biological durability of fiber products, fire retardancy of polymeric and fiber materials, and more. A central role of the Institute was to assist the textile industry and other light industries suffering from a lack of professionals and knowhow. <mask> took it upon himself to create detailed plans for the high-level education of industry experts. As a result, the Institute formed an affiliation with the Hebrew University in 1968, and the Division of Polymer and Textile Chemistry was established in the faculty of natural sciences. The hundreds of graduates of the division were absorbed by many factories in the country, and today they hold key positions in academia and in industry.In addition, <mask> has taught courses at the graduate level at the Hebrew University in chemistry and physical chemistry of polymers and fibers, and has guided many MSc and PhD studies. The results of the studies that were carried out at the Israel Fiber Institute were made accessible to the United Nations Food and Agriculture organization (FAO).

In the 1980s, <mask> served as an advisor to the government of Brazil on the development of ethanol fuel for cars instead of gasoline. Of the studies carried out by <mask> and his team, the research on bromine markedly stands out. It dealt with problems of chemical structure and morphology of cellulose, polyester, polyamide, polyolefins, the changing crystalline structure of polymers, oxidation, bleaching and degradation of polymers, studies on flame retardancy of polymers, and more.Bromine studies performed by Lewin were directed towards the discovery and development of new uses for bromine which is found in large quantities at the Dead Sea. The studies included, in addition to the basic chemistry of the various compounds of bromine, new industrial uses which enabled the expansion of production and marketing of bromine, and thus contributed to the country's economy. In these studies, a new technology of bleaching fabrics was developed for the textile industry, and a method of bleaching pulp for the production of paper and cardboard was devised. Another major technology was the use of bromine and its components in flame retardancy of polymeric materials. <mask> was among the first to develop this technology, and his invention to increase the flame retardancy of wood products by injecting bromine into wood was acclaimed. The use of bromine and its components in the flame retardancy of polymers has been developed over the years, and bromine products for this purpose have reached an annual

 export from Israel of hundreds of millions of dollars. Other uses of bromine researched by <mask> and his group were in the fields of medicine and biotechnology.Lewin served as a visiting professor at several universities, including the University of North Carolina at Raleigh (1974, 1977), Kyoto University in Japan (1978, 1983), and the Brooklyn Polytechnic University (1982–1985), now the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. Lewin gave hundreds of invited lectures at universities, public and industrial research institutes, and international scientific conferences in many countries. He also served as the research director of the large firm JP Stevens in New Jersey during his sabbatical year in 1969-1970. From 1974-1989, Lewin served as a member of the research council at the Chief Scientist's Bureau which initiated and financed the creation of the high-tech industry in Israel, and as a member of Israel's Technology Council. Lewin also served as national representative in the Macromolecules Committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Post-retirement scientific research activities

When he retired in 1986, Lewin was invited by Professor Herman Mark to serve as research professor at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. From then until shortly before his death, Lewin spent half of his time in the U.S. in this role.He developed new activities: he organized in 1987 and served as chairman of the first international Conference on Polymers for Advanced Technologies held in Jerusalem. As a result of this conference, <mask> founded in 1990 the scientific journal Polymers for Advanced Technologies, published by

Based on the journal, <mask> initiated 9 biannual international symposia in which <mask> served as chairman, co-chairman or honorary chairman, are well known, and are attended by hundreds of scientists from around the world. In 1990, <mask> founded the first Conference on Recent Advances in Flame Retardancy of Polymeric Materials held in Stamford, Connecticut. Since then, 20 annual meetings were held on the same topic in which Lewin served as chairman. These conferences, which include forty invited lectures each by expert scientists from over 20 countries, institutionalized flame retardancy of polymers as one of the most important fields in polymer science. During his activities in the United States, Lewin carried out a series of research projects on the crystalline structure of synthetic polymers, on new materials and processes for dentistry, and in flame retardancy of polymeric materials.Starting in 2004, <mask> began his efforts in nanotechnology. <mask> discovered and proved the migration of nano-particles to the surface of polymer nanocomposites. As a result of migration, a new ceramic surface is formed with useful properties for industry and the defense establishment. <mask> published 175 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, and 20 books on chemistry and technology of polymers and fibers which were released by Decker, Plenum and Wiley. In 2008, <mask> published his 460-page autobiography in Hebrew, entitled "The Scroll of Menachem," published by the Jabotinsky Institute. He was awarded 29 patents in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Israel. In 2009, <mask> was invited to serve as editor-in-chief of the new Encyclopedia of

<mask> (; 1912 – 6 April 1995), sometimes spelled <mask>, was a Greek Panhellenic Socialist Movement politician and Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament, who served as acting President of Greece in March 1985. Syndicalist
Before becoming a politician, <mask> was employed at the Bank of Greece. He was a prominent syndicalist and a key figure in the foundation of OTOE (Federation of Bank Employee Organizations of Greece) in 1955. OTOE united all relevant trade unions along the lines of craft unionism with <mask> at its head for several years. Center Union MP

<mask> was first elected to Parliament as a candidate of the Center Union in the 1963 Greek legislative election. His party won the elections in a narrow victory (138 seats out of 300, with the National Radical Union having 132) and party leader George Papandreou became Prime Minister of Greece on 8 November 1963. Because no party had the absolute majority in the Parliament, Papandreou carried out the 1964 Greek legislative election.<mask> successfully sought re-election while his party won the elections with a landslide majority (171 seats out of 300, with the alliance of the National Radical Union and the Progressive Party only having 107 seats). <mask> defended fellow Center Union MP Andreas Papandreou, son of George,  during his trial for the Aspida scandal. The Aspida Group allegedly comprised officers of the Hellenic Army, who belonged to the centre or the left and wanted to assume control of an army dominated at the time by right-wing officers who had fought in the Greek Civil War against the left. The alleged scandal had come to public notice in 1965 and Andreas Papandreou was accused of being a member of this conspiracy. The Aspida scandal led to the so-called Apostasia of 1965 and the fall of the Papandreou government. However the 1964 Parliament remained in place until the coup d'état of 21 April 1967. During the resulting Greek military junta of 1967-1974, <mask> was imprisoned for resisting the new regime.PASOK founding member

 dictatorship, <mask> resumed his political career. He joined the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), a new Party under Andreas Papandreou, and achieved re-election in 1974 Greek legislative election. He was one of only 12 MPs elected from his Party. PASOK came third in the elections with New Democracy electing 220 MPs and the Center Union - New Forces electing 60. He was re-elected in the 1977 Greek legislative election. This time PASOK came second with 93 MPs while New Democracy remained in government with 171 seats in Parliament. Continuing the rise of its popularity, PASOK came first in the 1981 Greek legislative election with 171 MPs while New Democracy only elected 115.Andreas Papandreou became Prime Minister while <mask> was elected Speaker of the Greek Parliament. Acting President of Greece

In 1985 after President Constantine Karamanlis resigned, <mask> served as acting President, per the relevant provisions of the Constitution of Greece, causing a controversy over the matter whether his duties as Speaker should be suspended during his tenure as acting President (10–30 March 1985) and if he was eligible to vote in the election of the new President. The issue became all the more controversial, as Christos Sartzetakis was elected with the minimum number of votes required (180 out of 300) and would have failed to be elected, were it not for <mask>' vote. Later political career

Later that year, PASOK won the 1985 Greek legislative election with 161 MPS while New Democracy elected 126. Papandreou remained Prime Minister and <mask> was elected Speaker for a second time. In the same year, Papandreou was indicted by Parliament in connection with the US$200 million Bank of Crete embezzlement scandal. He was accused of helping the embezzlement by ordering state corporations to transfer their holdings to the Bank of Crete where the interest was allegedly skimmed off to benefit PASOK.The June 1989 Greek legislative election which followed the scandal was inconclusive. New Democracy came first with 145 MPs and PASOK second with only 125, <mask> among them. Neither

 was enough to form a government by itself. New Democracy formed an alliance with third Party Coalition of the Left and Progress. Their alliance formed a government under Tzannis Tzannetakis. Synaspismos withdrew its support of the new government only months later. The resulting November 1989 Greek legislative election was again inconclusive.New Democracy came first with 148 MPs and PASOK second with 128, <mask> among them. While each had won 3 more MPs that in the previous election, again none of the two could form a government alone. The caretaker government under Yiannis Grivas resigned on 23 November 1989. Replaced by a coalition government under Xenophon Zolotas. The new government included representatives of New Democracy, PASOK and Synaspismos and organized the 1990 Greek legislative election. New Democracy came first with 150 MPs and PASOK second with 123, <mask> among them. New Democracy had enough Parliamentary support to form its own government under Party leader Constantine Mitsotakis.The Mitsotakis government remained in office for about three years. The heightened public irritation over the Macedonia issue with the neighbouring Republic of Macedonia caused several ND parliament members, led by Antonis Samaras, to withdraw their support from Mitsotakis' government and form a new political party, Political Spring (Politiki Anoiksi). With not enough MPs to remain in office, the New Democracy government organized the 1993 Greek legislative election. PASOK won the elections with 170 MPs and New Democracy came second with only 111. Andreas Papandreou became Prime Minister again. <mask> was elected MP for the tenth and last time. References

<mask><mask> (January 9, 1931 – March 24, 2003) was an American city manager who served as town manager of Saugus, Massachusetts, and village manager of Ellenville, New York, and Maywood, Illinois. Early life and career
Boucher graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in public administration. After interning in the state of Illinois, Boucher was a schoolteacher in Wyoming and Louisiana and ran an economic consulting business in Littleton, Colorado that specialized in local government. Buffalo, New York
In December 1966, Boucher was appointed by Mayor Frank A. Sedita to serve as executive director of the Citizens Advisory Committee for Community Development in Buffalo, New York. Boucher's primary duty was to conduct a preliminary management survey to improve the efficiency of city government. On March 15, 1967 he reported that 1,400 to 1,600 jobs could be cut from the city payroll. His statement upset many high-ranking Democrats, including Mayor Sedita.After the statement, Boucher was described as "walking on eggshells" and being a "marked man" at City Hall. Boucher resigned in August 1967 after his management survey was completed. Saugus Town Manager
On July 31, 1967, Boucher was chosen by the Saugus Board of Selectmen to serve as Town Manager on a six-month trial basis. During his tenure as manager, the town fought the state government to close the M. DeMatteo dump on Massachusetts Route 107. After the town declined a request by State Health Commissioner Alfred Frechette to keep the dump open, Governor John A. Volpe signed an emergency order that would reopen the dump. The town refused to comply with this order and the dump was not reopened until the state Department of Public

At his revocation hearing, Boucher testified that he was unable to secure employment and that his main sources of income were a welfare stipend of $256 a month, which he sent to his brother, who was caring of his children, and unemployment benefits of $74 a week which he used to pay his rent and to care for his wife, who was in an institution. He was sentenced to one year in Cook County Jail. Boucher appealed the order revoking his probation to the Illinois Appellate Court on the grounds that his rights under the Illinois and United States Constitutions were violated because his imprisonment would be "tantamount to imprisonment of an indigent for failure to pay a debt".The appellate court affirmed the Circuit Court of Cook County's decision on March 14, 1973. The Supreme Court of Illinois granted leave to appeal and on May 20, 1974, vacated the appellate court's decision. Personal life
Boucher was married to <mask>. They had three children. While they were in Saugus, Betty Boucher pushed for the creation of a town theater company. At her urging the Saugus Towncriers, now known as the Theatre Company of Saugus, was founded. Boucher's hobbies included collecting rare books, listening to classical music, photography, fossil hunting, skiing, hiking, and sailing.References

<mask> (born 19 September 1968) is an English electronic music DJ, producer and radio presenter. BBC radio presenter John Peel named <mask> "The Baron of Techno". Early life
Born in Brighton, East Sussex, England, <mask> was educated at Brighton College, but moved out of home at the age of 16 after his parents separated. Since the age of 8, <mask> has been interested in music and technology, and to him, "there was no alternative but to go professional." After a brief period of homelessness, a friend offered him temporary accommodation and <mask> continued to develop his love for music — initially hip hop and post-punk. The Damned was an early influence for <mask> and he continues to listen to the band during his music career:

"I bought my first Damned album because I thought they sounded like they'd be really evil," he declares, "and even now their album Machine Gun Etiquette is one I keep coming back to. I like the attitude, the free rein of it, and on an artistic level I see my music as in the alternative genre rather than dance music.Techno and electro is an alternative that happens to be on the peripheries of dance music." During this period, his employment included a low-paying job in a shoe shop; however, his musical ambitions were established at this stage of his life: "I used to tell people when I was working in a shoe shop that I would one day travel the world based on a career in music... I was that driven." Musical success began when he attained a DJ residency at the Brighton nightclub "Toppers", which rivalled a club night run by John Digweed (then known as DJ JD). <mask> later explained that he regarded the period "as an apprenticeship". <mask>'s music reviews were also published in the now-defunct DMC Update magazine and he reviewed the inaugural single by Aphex Twin. <mask> acknowledged in 2013, "having my reviews in there [DMC Update] helped me to get the vinyls I

 needed to be out there DJing."Musical career
<mask>'s musical career commenced as a producer and his first release was under the moniker "Hardcore" on the XL Recordings label in 1990. The release occurred two years after he played his first international show at the now-defunct "Richters" venue in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The XL release gained the attention of Belgian techno music label R&S Records and he subsequently released various EPs in 1991 as both Hardcore and "Directional Force". In 1992 <mask> launched his own music label, "Magnetic North", releasing recordings under the moniker "Fly By Wire". He then produced a series of EPs under the name "Red", one of which was listed by the DJ Mag publication in its "All Time Techno Top 100" list. The Red recordings led to a significant level of attention for <mask>, who subsequently produced remixes for prominent artists such as Kevin Saunderson's "Inner City", The Chemical Brothers, New Order and Underworld. Signed to the de-Construction label, <mask> then released his debut album, Archive One, in 1996, which contained elements of the breakbeat and electronica genres.<mask> is one of the few DJs who performed live on Peel's radio show and segments of the performance were released as The John Peel Session EP on the Strange Fruit label in 1997, under the name "Directional Force". Also in 1997, Peel identified Archive 1 as number 14 in a list of his top 20 albums at the time. <mask> then released a series of DJ mix albums, including two World Service sets, released on the React Records label at the beginning of the 21st century. One of the albums sold over 100,000 copies, while World Service Vol. 1 was ranked number 9 in the Resident Advisor (RA) magazine poll of best mix albums from the 2000–2009 period. In response to the RA ranking, <mask> stated:

I wanted it to be a continuation of my radio show—similar to the BBC's World Service—available to everyone around the globe.While I think I prefer the electro mix from World Service 2, there are so many great tracks on the first. The album Devil's Advocate, released in 2004, was <mask>'s output during a brief period with the Skint music label and featured collaborations with Chicks on Speed, Mr Lif and <mask>. In 2006 <mask> launched his weekly radio program, "White Noise", on Dutch radio broadcaster VPRO (3FM). <mask> relocated to Amsterdam in 2008, explaining in 2013 that he "just couldn't grow there [England] anymore." Following <mask>'s performance at Richter in the 1980s, he states that he "fell in love with the place and hoped one day to live" in the city. <mask> commended Amsterdam in 2013, as it "has so many great things, an amazing way of life in the most beautiful setting with a bloody great big and reliable airport 15 mins away." In 2011 <mask> started a new project called "_Unsubscribe_" with Jonas Uittenbosch (aka Mr. Jones), after they met in Utrecht, the Netherlands.They have remixed artists such as Ben Sims, Detroit Grand Pubahs and Boys Noize. In May 2013 their debut single, "Spek Hondje", appeared on the Houndstooth label—prior to this, <mask> had not recorded in a studio for six years. Since relocating to Amsterdam, <mask> founded the "<mask> Presents" event moniker that, as of 2013, appeared on eight sold-out occasions at the annual Amsterdam dance event (ADE) and hosted the second-biggest outdoor stage at the Tomorrowland 2012 festival in Belgium; <mask> Presents returned for Tomorrowland 2013. <mask> has also appeared at other prominent festival events, such as Awakenings, Glastonbury, Pukkelpop and Nature One.

 <mask>'s DJ presence at clubs includes Fabric in London, UK, Berghain in Berlin, Germany, and Fuse in Brussels, Belgium. In a 2013 interview, <mask> explained that Fabric and the "celtic side" (Ireland and Scotland) were solely responsible for quality electronica in the UK region:

But yes, the scene is cheesy in the UK, why do I think this...well I blame one person: Pete Tong, the driver of big business into UK radio. That is my interpretation anyway.Also the sad demise of record shops didn't help sustain a healthy disdain to the commerciality so omnipresent in the UK. Yes, Fabric kicks the crap away with an amazing stance for quality week in week out, but you mostly have to go to the celtic side to get back the punky attitude, Scotland, Ireland...

<mask> performed at the Smart Bar in Chicago, United States (US) in November 2013, which was his first American live show in around eight years. <mask> explained in a promotional interview that "shiesty promoters not being professional and honouring legal commitments" were responsible for his protracted absence. In the same interview, <mask> also provided his perspective on US electronica:

That is strange for me, the US invents house and electro, digests European electronica and comes up with Techno, yet never understands the culture it gave Europe and the World and doesn't treat these innovators with any deep respect or understanding above cult status, that is a dilemma I cannot fathom. As of 11 July 2021, 810 editions of "White Noise" have been broadcast and the program has moved from VPRO (3FM) to the Irish station RTÉ 2fm. <mask> explained in 2013 that the radio show "really is my way of paying back the scene." <mask> was featured in the April 2014 edition of Mixmag magazine, in which he states: "EDM is a vehicle for ego-centric artists to expand their wallets".In 2014 <mask> will curate a stage at Belgium's Tomorrowland event for the

 third consecutive year and explained in a June 2014 interview with American magazine Big Shot: "In Belgium they always had an understanding and respect for underground music. I have been playing there for over 20 years so I think in their hearts they love having a bit of punk spirit on a very successful EDM festival, for me it is an honor to be entrusted in doing an alternative stage." When asked for his final thoughts in the Big Shot interview, <mask> stated: "An American mag asking me questions whilst I am not and never have been part of EDM has to be an honor." DJ equipment
<mask> has not played vinyl in clubs since the end of the 2004, and instead played digital files on CD (his players of choice were the Technics DZ1210). In mid-2006, he then used the Technics DZ1210 in conjunction with Serato Scratch Live—with an SL3 converter—but also uses Pioneer CDJs or Denon CD DJ players (DJ SC2900), the latter of which he helped develop. For fast & easy navigation on Serato he is using a SpaceNavigator. <mask> explained in June 2014 that he never prepares his DJ sets, which he explained was considered "weird" by others.<mask> explained:

I like to be on my toes and be instinctual and “live,” so I will deal with each gig as it comes. Of course some are more “pressured” than others, but as an artist you feed off that. Personal life
In 2013 <mask> explained that his experience as a professional DJ was a combination of "ups and downs":

...  the travelling is tough, the lack of sleep is a killer (3–4 hours over 2–3 days), giving up your weekends for 25 years needs understanding from friends and family, being dead tired on a Tuesday is really a bummer, being in cars for hours on end when you want/need to sleep can drive you mad, being in a club when people really get you and all is syncopated is pure magic ...
