The Winter Challenge was started in 1998 by <mask>'s House predecessor, Gerald Solomon, with the stated purpose of showcasing the Olympic facilities at Lake Placid, New York to congressmen and their staffers in order to get federal funds.In January 2006 <mask>, his wife and about 60 other people spent a four-day weekend at the facilities competing against each other in skating, downhill skiing and bobsledding events. Representative Pete Sessions was a close friend of <mask> and his wife. Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), and Representative Randy Kuhl (R-NY) are all Democrats. The weekend cost the Olympic Regional Development Authority $27,500, plus in-kind services it provided and the costs of operating the Olympic venues for the competition. The New York State government includes ORDA. In the fall of 2005, the House ethics panel told <mask> that he should be careful to let the Olympics groups invite guests to avoid the appearance of an endorsement by the House. "After the ORDA and the U.S. Olympic Committee have issued an initial invitation to House members and staff to take part in the trip, you may send a follow-up to that invitation", the ethics panel said.The invitations to the event come from the U.S. Olympic Committee. The motivation for the event comes from the U.S. Olympic Committee. According to the U.S. Olympic Committee, it's really <mask>'s event.

While this trip has proven itself to be an enjoyable one for delegation members in the past, it is still an official trip authorized by the House and Senate Ethics Committees.The purpose is to give Members of Congress and Congressional staff an opportunity to inspect and evaluate the manner in which federal funds have been used to strengthen the area's tourism industry. Despite the House ethics rule requiring all travel paid by others to relate to members' official duties, and the ethics panel's letter that said that recreational activities must be "merely incidental to the trip", <mask> has said that it's perfectly appropriate for him to promote. Pete Card, a former staffer of <mask>'s and the brother of a former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, was among the lobbyists who attended the event. <mask> didn't ask about lobbyists in his request to the ethics committee. He doesn't know why the lobbyists were invited. <mask>'s campaign received a total of $12,400 in contributions from seven lobbyists.

title: Minkhaung I

type: paraphrased

texts: The king of Ava from 1400 to 1421 was <mask>. The King of Hanthawaddy Pegu was defeated in the Forty Years' War. <mask> continued his father's policy to restore the Empire. Minye Kyawswa was the military leader who nearly succeeded. While he failed to conquer Hanthawaddy and Launggyet Arakan, he was able to bring in most of the cis-Salween Shan states. The future king was born in a small village in the northern Sagaing Region. His commoner mother Saw Beza had met his father earlier in the year during a military campaign.It is said that after giving birth to the child, Beza showed up at the palace to present the male child to the king. The child's name was Min Swe. The king had two more children with Beza, Theiddat and Thupaba Dewi. Min Swe lived in Inwa until he was eight. His life at the palace was not good. Both Swe and Theiddat were constantly bullied by their older half-brother, Tarabya. The king had to send Swe and Theiddat to a monastery near Pinle in order to study under the chief primate.The princes studied under the monk and traveled around the region with their attendants. Tarabya was appointed his heir-apparent by the Governor of Pyinzi. The king kept Swe out of Tarabya's reach and appointed his son governor of Pyinzi. Swe was given command of the Pyinzi cavalry. Swe would rule Pyinzi for 15 years. The rivalry between Swe and Tarabya continued during Swe's time as governor, and it's possible that the rivalry cost the best chance of defeating Hanthawaddy Pegu. The king ordered his two oldest sons to lead a two-pronged invasion of the southern kingdom in 1385 in what would become known as the Forty Years' War.The First Army was commanded by Tarabya while the Second Army was led by Swe. Thilawa of Yamethin and Theinkhathu Saw Hnaung were among the commanders who advised the princes. The command expected an easy victory. Peguan defenses were well-organized for five months. King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy made a tactical error by coming out of his fortified capital to attack. Tarabya's army drove back and pursued Razadarit's army. Swe's army was in the path of the Hanthawaddy army's retreat.Tarabya, the overall commander-in-chief, sent a messenger, ordering Swe to hold his position and not to engage Razadarit until his army could reach the scene. Swe ignored the order and ordered his troops to engage. The army of Razadarit got back inside Pegu. The invasion was called off five days later because of the rainy season. Ava would rue the missed opportunity. Swe was kept out of the next invasion by Swa. While Tarabya invaded the southern country, Swe was assigned to guard the capital.The second invasion was no better than the first. No more errors were committed by Razadarit. The rainy season arrived before the troops could break through Pegu's defenses. Swe wanted to go to the front in the 1390–91 campaign. He commanded a single unit, and was under the command of Tarabya. Although the campaign ended in a truce, their army could not break through the Pegu defenses. Swe was married to Princess Shin Mi-Nauk in a marriage of state.After the 1387–88 war between the two states, the marriage was part of the effort to mend their fences. On the advice of the Chief Minister, Swe was selected to marry Mi-Nauk. The marriage between Swe and Mi-Nauk lasted even though the peace with Mohnyin did not last. There were four children at Pyinzi: Minye Kyawswa, Saw Pyei Chantha, Minye Thihathu and Minye Kyawhtin. In April 1400, Tarabya ascended the throne after King Swa Saw Ke died. The two half brothers were kept at arm's length by the new king. Swe and Theiddat did not control a large army.Swe was not in a position to challenge the pretenders when Tarabya became mentally unstable about five months into his reign. In November, Gov. The Thihapate of Tagaung tried to take over the throne. The court offered the throne to Min Swe. Swe was worried about Gov. The court was told to give the throne to Pyauk instead of Maha Pyauk. Theiddat asked Swe to reconsider.Theiddat took matters into his own hands. Pyauk was not expecting Theiddat and his small band of men to ambush his army. Pyauk died. On November 25, 1400, Min Swe became king. He assumed the title of Minkhaung. Minkhaung consolidated his power in his first year. He appointed Pauk Hla governor Yamethin and his son-in-law Thado Theinkhathu governor of Badon and Tabayin.He appointed Theiddat governor of Sagaing, but stopped short of declaring him his heir-apparent. While Sagaing used to be an independent kingdom, the younger brother was never satisfied with the reward, and held a "lingering resentment that would later rear its ugly head". There was a succession crisis at the time of the invasion by Pegu. The western Irrawaddy towns were raided by the Arakanese. The King of Pegu thought that Minkhaung's hold on power was weak and planned to place a nominee of his own. It would be payback for his attempts to take over. In 1401, Razadarit prepared a river-borne fleet that could transport troops and animals.When the dry season began, Hanthawaddy forces invaded by the Irrawaddy river, attacking all the riverside towns and cities, including their main targets, Prome and Inwa. After a 10-year hiatus, the Forty Year's War resumed. The advantage was held by Hanthawaddy initially. There was no navy that could challenge Pegu's flotilla. The fortified towns along the river had to defend themselves. blockades were not enough to force a surrender as the Pegu navy held complete control of the Irrawaddy. Pegu tried to storm the capital of Pagan.Minkhaung asked the monks to broker a truce. The start of the rainy season forced the Hanthawaddy fleet to retreat from the area. Minkhaung's people rallied around him. After the rainy season, he sent a force to relieve Prome. After the battle south of Prome, Pegu was forced to ask for terms about ten days after. Minkhaung sent an embassy to Pegu to negotiate a treaty. He wanted to know the price from Pegu.The two sides signed a peace treaty after five months of negotiations. The south of Prome is where the boundary of their kingdoms was fixed. Pegu agreed to give 30 elephants a year. Thupaba Dewi was sent to be queen of the marriage alliance by Minkhaung. Minkhaung had come out stronger from the war. The threat to his rule had turned into an agreement that was largely in his favor. The expansionist policy of the king's father was resumed in order to restore the Empire.His first targets were close to him. The diplomatic missions that led to the acquisition of Onbaung (Hsipaw) were led by Min Yaza. The records of the Ming court show that the court became concerned after the death of the sawbwa of Mohnyin and his son. On August 25, 1406, the Ming court sent an embassy to Ava to end the "aggression" against the Shan states. Minkhaung brushed off the Chinese concerns. When he was about to start the war with Pegu, he sent an embassy to Nanjing. According to the records, the representative offered a formal apology to the emperors for occupying them "without authority" on May 28, 1408; however, he was still encouraging the emperors to rebel.The court was considering taking action against her. Between 1412 and 1415 there would be a war between the two countries. The Chinese were concerned by the fact that by August 1406, all of the surrounding Shan states had given up their loyalties. Minkhaung is now looking at Arakan. Between 1373/74 and 1375/86, the western kingdom was a part of the kingdom that was ruled by his father. He sent a 10,000-strong army led by his son Minye Kyawswa to Arakan. Min Saw Mon fled to Bengal after the city of Launggyet was taken by the Ava forces.The governor was appointed by Minkhaung. Anawrahta was the king of Kalay. Minkhaung was riding high after Arakan. He wanted to make his heir apparent because he was impressed by his son's performance. Prince Min Nyo, Tarabya's oldest son and a potential rival to the throne, was sent to Kalay, a frontier state by the Manipur border, as governor. Theiddat was the governor of Sagaing and he wanted to appease him. The king married Minye Kyawswa, his heir apparent, to Saw Min Hla, a cousin of the groom.Theiddat felt betrayed. The younger brother said that Minkhaung would not have become king were it not for him. Theiddat could not be mollified by Min Yaza. Theiddat was arrested but later released by Minkhaung. Theiddat fled to Pegu in 1407. Middle reign Deterioration of relations with Pegu was more severe than that

texts: of China. Realizing that Pegu was the only remaining target, Razadarit decided to act.He gave shelter to Theiddat even though he knew it would be seen as a declaration of war. The 1403 agreement was broken when Pegu stopped sending the annual shipment of 30 elephants. Minkhaung sent his daughter Saw Pyei Chantha to be the wife of Anawrahta as well as a senior minister to help solidify his hold over Arakan. He sent a mission to China in early 1408. According to the chronicle, the war was inevitable due to the fact that Razadarit viewed the mission to Chiang Mai as an attempt to secure its rear. Resumption of war with Pegu in March 1408. Its forces were in the north.The court didn't expect Pegu to act first. Pegu forces took Launggyet by late March/ early April 1408. Minkhaung's daughter Pyei Chantha was raised by Razadarit after Anawrahta was executed. Minkhaung was angry. The king ordered an immediate invasion of the south despite the fact that the rainy season was just a month away. Minkhaung led two armies of 20,000 men, 2200 horses, 100 elephants, and invaded the southern country in May 1408. It was a complete disaster.The swamps of Lower Burma were where the forces gotbogged down. Three months into the invasion, the troops were running out of supplies due to bad weather and ambushes on supply lines. Razadarit ordered two attempts on Minkhaung's life because he couldn't match Ava's manpower. Theiddat who was with the Peguan forces broke up the first attempt by the Hanthawaddy special forces to ambush Minkhaung's small contingent. Theiddat could not betray his brother. Theiddat was executed for the warning. The second attempt was a success.The enemy camp was penetrated by a team of special forces led by Lagun Ein. Lagun Ein refused to kill a sleeping Minkhaung. The forces retreated in August 1408. The retreating troops were attacked by Razadarit. The queen of Minkhaung was captured. The mother and daughter were in his harem. The attack on the city failed to pick off Prome.Minkhaung had to regroup. He invaded again in December of 1409. His armies couldn't break through. May 1410 was when the invasion began. The Hanthawaddy king drove back Minkhaung after the battle over elephants. Several infantry, cavalry and elephants were captured. After the two disastrous defeats, Minkhaung handed over the military leadership to Minye Kyawswa.His son wanted to take on the man who held his mother and sister in his harem. Minkhaung would call on Minye Kyawswa to wage war against his enemies on multiple fronts over the next five years. His son was a gifted commander, and he was close to reassembling the Pagan Empire. Minye Kyawswa brought a new thinking to the battle plan. He would attack the less defended regions instead of attacking the well-defended Pegu capital region. The prince invaded the Irrawaddy Delta in 1410 with an army of 7000 men, 600 horses, and 40 elephants. The key cities of Myaungmya and Bassein were attacked.The prince found that the key cities were prepared for long sieges. He pulled his forces back to Prome. He drove out Pegu-installed vassals and appointed his commanders as governor-generals. In order to open a second front, Razadarit sought an alliance with Hsenwi. After the rainy season of 1411, the Hanthawaddy king sent two armies. The garrison at Sandoway fell before the reinforcements arrived. The city was under siege for the next three months.Hsenwi opened a new front when he invaded the north. Minkhaung recalled Minye Kyawswa because of the seriousness of the invasion. Hanthawaddy troops drove out the garrison at Launggyet in 1412 after the withdrawal. The Khway-thin-taung garrison in northern Arakan was the location of the toehold of Ava. The western state would remain a Hanthawaddy vassal at least until Razadarit's death. Hsenwi's invasion was not a result of Hanthawaddy's urging. Six years ago, the Ming court ordered the powerful Shan state to retaliate against the annexation of Mohnyin.It's not clear if Minkhaung and his court realized the gravity of the situation. Even if they did, their actions show they were not worried about the war in their northern border. Minkhaung wanted to teach Hsenwi a lesson. The king agreed to attack Hsenwi after Minye Kyawswa defeated it. During the rainy season of 1412, Minye Kyawswa laid siege to the city of Hsenwi. 20,000 men and 2000 cavalry were sent to relieve the siege. The Chinese army came out of the forest and were attacked by the Ava army.The army of China was driven back. 2000 troops and 1000 horses were taken prisoner. The siege lasted for one more month until November 1412. After the rainy season, Pegu launched a massive attack on Prome. Minkhaung ordered Minye Kyawswa to join him on the southern front after he was ordered to relieve Prome. The father-son team tried to break the siege of Prome. The Hanthawaddy command lost its two most senior generals, Gen. Byat Za and Gen. Lagun Ein.Shaken by the deaths, Razadarit retreated. An invasion of the south was proposed by Minye Kyawswa. Minkhaung allowed his son to carry out the plan. Dala–Twante and Dagon were taken by Minye Kyawswa in April 1413. Gen. Letya Pyanchi of Prome was killed in the battle of Hmawbi. The army did not have enough strength as Minkhaung ordered a pause as it was just a month away from the rainy season. The march to Pegu resumed after the crown prince ignored his father's order.The defense of Hanthawaddy stopped the forces outside of Dala and at Syriam. The fighting stopped during the rainy season. emissaries were sent to the north to look for alliances. After the siege of Hsenwi, the northern front was never quiet. The Yongle Emperor ordered another attack. In 1413, Chinese-backed Hsenwi forces destroyed over 20 cities and stockades in the northern part of the country. The captured elephants, horses, and other goods were presented to the Chinese capital in September 1413.The attack on Myedu was carried out by another state. Minkhaung sent his middle son Minye Thihathu to take over the southern command after recalling Minye Kyawswa. Minye Kyawswa was going to take on the Maw forces. The enemy was chased to the Chinese border by his forces. The victory in the north was thought to be a decisive one. Minkhaung and the court planned a full scale invasion of the south even though the Chinese would be back later. An army of 8000 men, 200 horses and 80 elephants, a navy consisting of 13,000 men, and over 1800 ships of all sizes were part of the invasion force.The western Irrawaddy Delta was invaded in October 1414 by Minye Kyawswa. Although Hanthawaddy forces put up a spirited defense, they were defeated by the end of December. Pegu was evacuated and moved to Martaban. The pincer movement was planned from Toungoo to Pegu. The Chinese forces invaded from the north and delayed the attack on Pegu. The Chinese army was forced to retreat after Minkhaung sent an army. The Chinese attack gave Razadarit breathing room.By February 1415, he was back in Pegu. On March 2, 1415, Razadarit led the army to the front. One of the most famous battles in Burmese military history took place on 13 March 1415 at Dala–Twante. Minye Kyawswa was killed in the battle. <mask> exhumed his son's body after he came down with the army. The remains were dropped into the water. Minkhaung called off the invasion and left.Minkhaung was devastated by his oldest son's death. He appointed him heir apparent after recalling Thihathu from Prome. The war was paused for two more campaigns. Razadarit tried to pick off Toungoo but was defeated. Minkhaung invaded in the following dry season. The forces led by Thihathu took the delta and forced Razadarit to move. They stayed in the south for a year.They had to retreat because they couldn't break through towards Pegu. During Minkhaung's reign, it was the last campaign. The last years of the king were spent in piety. He died in October. When he heard of Minkhaung's death, his nemesis was said to have lamented. The man died about two months later. Administration Minkhaung relied on the advice of his court.He continued to use Pagan's model of solar polities in which the high king ruled the core while semi-independent tributaries, governors, and viceroys were in charge of day-to-day administration and manpower.

texts: <mask> of Viterbo, T.O.S.F. A young woman was born in the Papal States in 1233 and died in 1251. She was outspoken in her support of the papacy and spent her brief life as a recluse. She was known for her mystical gifts of prophecy and having miraculous powers. The Catholic Church considers her a saint. The acts of her canonization, as well as the chief historical sources, record no dates for her life. She probably was born in the year 1233, according to most scholars.<mask> was born of poor parents and had a desire to help the poor. She prayed for sinners to be converted. The Blessed Virgin Mary is said to have told <mask> to follow the Third Order of St. Francis and to preach penance in Viterbo when she was 10 years old. <mask> wore a tunic with a cord around her waist when she joined the Franciscan Third Order. She would encourage others to be faithful to the Catholic Church by walking the streets with a crucifix in her hand. She lived a life of prayer and penance in her father's home. She would come from her solitude and ask the people to do penance.Her mission lasted about two years. In January 1250, the city of Viterbo revolted against the pope. She began preaching in the streets against Frederick when she was 12. She and her family were exiled from the city. <mask> was allowed to return when the pope's side won. <mask> foretold the death of the emperor on December 5, 1250. The people of Vitorchiano were said to have been affected by a sorceress.The sorceress was spared for three hours in the flames of a burning pyre. <mask> was refused admission to the Poor Clare Monastery due to her poverty, as she was not able to provide the necessary items for admission. She predicted her admission to the monastery after her death when she accepted her rejection. <mask> died in her father's home. <mask> was thought to have died of Tuberculosis. Her remains were examined in 2010 and it was found that she had died of acerbity. Pope Innocent IV opened the process of <mask>'s canonization in the year of her death.After Pope Alexander IV ordered it moved to the monastery she wanted to enter, it was renamed in her honor. After the Second Vatican Council reformed the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church, her feast day was moved to the date of her death. The Monastery of St. Damian will receive her relics on September 4. The Franciscans celebrate her feast on this date. On September 3, the eve of the feast of St. <mask>, the people of Viterbo follow the transportation of La Macchina, a massive tower illuminated with 3,000 tiny electric lights and 880 candles, and topped off with a statue of her.

title: Itzam Kʼan Ahk II

texts: The ancient Maya settlement of Piedras Negras was known as Itzam Kan Ahk II. He ruled from 729 to 757 AD. The death of Kinich <mask> II led to the ascendance of <mask> II. Three kings of Piedras Negras may have been fathered by <mask>n <mask> II. <mask> III succeeded <mask>n <mask> II in 757 AD. The large mortuary temple now known as Pyramid O-13 is one of the monuments left behind by <mask> II. The details of his life and his Katun-jubilee were remembered on Panel 3 after <mask> II's death.<mask> Kan <mask> II, also known as Ruler 4, was born on November 18, 701 AD. There are three references to <mask> Kan Ahk's birth, but none mention his line of descent. In one carving, the ajaw is shown with a turtle ornament on his belt, suggesting that one of his ancestors had the word auk in their name and was thus of royal blood. Stela 40 shows a picture of <mask> Kan <mask>'s mother in Teotihuacano garb. After the death of <mask> Kan <mask> I (a former ajaw of Piedras Negras whose Itzam Kan Ahk II appropriated), Martin and Grube note that this stela was erected exactly 83 Tzolkin. The ruler of Itzam Kan <mask> II ascended to power on November 9, 729 AD. In 749 AD, the ajaw celebrated his one Katun, an event that was attended by a baah sajal named Kan Mo Te who was the first ruler.The interim ruler of Yaxchilan was lectured by <mask> Kan <mask> II on Panel 3. The panel lent support to the argument that during <mask> Kan <mask> II's rule, Piedras Negras had overtaken Yaxchilan in power. A few days after the Katun celebration, <mask> Kan <mask> II had a drink made from cacao beans and performed a "descending macaw" dance for his guests. The severed head of a leader from Hix Witz is depicted on a disc found in the tomb of <mask> Kan <mask> II. Houston et al. They argue that Hix Witz was under the control of Piedras Negras due to the fact that the Maya center is on Panel 7. Death <mask> Kan <mask> II's reign was marked by "hegemony over neighboring kingdoms".The ruler was buried three days after he died. The mythical "'mountain' of ho janaab witz" was referred to in Panel 3 as Pyramid O-13. Yonal <mask> III succeeded <mask> Kan <mask> II on March 10, 758 AD. <mask> Kan <mask> II's burial site was venerated by the succeeding kings of Piedras Negras, which has led some to theorize that <mask> Kan <mask> II produced a new ruling dynasty. Monuments Stelae <mask> Kan <mask> II erected at least five stelae: 9, 10, 11, 22, and 40, of which Stelae 9, 10, and 11 were raised in front of or near Structure J-3. Stela 11 was built in August of 731 AD and commemorates <mask> Kan <mask> II's ascension to power. The monument depicts the ajaw flanked by witnesses.The depiction of human sacrifice near the monument's bottom makes the space in front of the stone slab one of offering and supplication. Teoberto Maler discovered the monument in two pieces on the ground, the front was well-preserved and the glyph on the upper right was weathered. In the 1960s, looters broke up the fallen monument so they could take it out of the site. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is home to the top portion while the bottom half is in a private collection in Switzerland. Maler discovered Stela 9 in 1899. The base was found in situ by the University of Pennsylvania's University Museum after the fragments had slightly eroded. A portion of the monument depicting a captive was taken by looters in the 1960s.A loss of detail is caused by the erosion of Stela 10. The head ornament is thought to have been lost. Stela 22 was dedicated to the East Group Plaza, which is in front of Structure O-12. Stela 22 faced northwest towards the site's acropolis, creating a new axis of dialogue across the site. The depiction of a woman dressed in Teotihuacano garb is contained in Stela 40. The "knotted cord" or breath which travels down to the nose of the dead is a result of the connection between the living and dead. The female on the stela is likely <mask> Kan <mask> II's mother, and the monument offers an interesting glimpse of his loyalty to a female.The mortuary temple of Kinich Yat <mask> II is known as Pyramid O-13. It was nearly as large as any of the previous structures. The old Panel 2 was reset and Panel 1 and Panel 3 were installed after <mask> Kan <mask> II's death. According to Megan O'Neil, the changes were made in order to "engag[e] with the past". It is possible that the three rulers of Piedras Negras were the sons of Kinich Yat <mask> II, since they all revered the site as a shrine. An adult and two adolescents were found in a tomb underneath the plaza floor at the front of the pyramid. Stephen D. Houston cautions that this has not been proven.Many bones were missing from the three bodies, and it appeared that the skeletons had been charred by fire after their initial interment. Scholars concluded that this was part of a ritual called el naah umukil, which was carried out by Kinich Yat <mask> II. Both the O-13 Pyramid and the Late Classic Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque have the same number of substructure terraces, and both were built into the sides of the hills. Marken and Straight argue that there was a relationship between Palenque and Piedras Negras. The kings of Piedras Negras were in the Maya civilization.

title: Russell J. Howard

texts: <mask><mask> is a scientist. He was a pioneer in the field of malaria and led the commercialisation of one of the most important methods used in the field today called "DNA shuffling", a form of "Directed evolution". His contributions to malaria research began in Australia at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, and continued as a tenured Principal Investigator at the National Institutes of Health. Thirteen years of his group's research on antigenic variation in malaria culminated in the creation of the first molecule that can be cloned from a human malaria parasite. <mask> served on the World Health Organization's Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases and the USAID program for research and vaccine development in Malaria. While <mask> was President and Scientific Director at Affymax Research Institute,Pim Stemmer conceived and developed DNA shuffling Technology. The creation and spinout of Maxygen Inc. was the result of this revolutionary technology for improving the expressed phenotype of genes, pathways, plasmids, viruses and genomes.He took the company public in 1999 and led its growth with 10's of corporate partnerships and technology application programs that led to the development and commercialisation of 10's of Life Science products in diverse fields. New companies dedicated to Agricultural Products and Industrial Chemical opportunities were created as a result of Maxygen's use of DNA Shuffling technology. <mask> left Maxygen in 2008 to found Oakbio Inc. He is the Chairman of Oakbio Inc. CO2 capture from industrial processes is done with proprietary microbes. Industrial CO2 emissions are used as sole carbon source and H2 gas is used as sole energy source to manufacture a high quality source of single cell protein for human foods in the future. <mask> became the Executive Chairman of NeuClone after moving to Australia.The company is dedicated to the development of biosimilars. <mask> joined the company. Immutep was based in Australia, Berlin and Paris. The company has a non- executive director. He took the role of Non-Executive Chairman in 2017. Immutep develops drugs based on its LAG3 patent. He worked at the Kinghorn Centre for Clinical Genomics at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.<mask> is an inventor on nine issued patents and has published over 140 scientific publications. After graduating from Box Hill High School in Melbourne, Australia, <mask> majored in chemistry and then obtained a PhD in 1975, studying the central metabolism of a marine green alga. From 1976 to 1979 he worked at the Immunoparasitology Laboratory at the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, with frequent visits and collaborative work on sialic acids. He earned his tenure as a Research Associate in the Malaria Section of the National Institutes of Health in 1987. He was the leader of the Infectious Diseases laboratory at the DNAX Research Institute in Palo Alto, California, USA, from 1988 to 1992. He was named President and Scientific Director of Affymax in 1994. His work at Affymax led to the creation of the PfEMP1 gene, which was cloned at Affymax.<mask> led technology transfer and interchange after Affymax was purchased by GlaxoWellcome. There was a company called Maxygen that was spun out from Affymax-GlaxoWellcome. <mask> was the CEO of Maxygen from 1997 to 2009. Non-core businesses were either spun out or sold. He left Maxygen with $200 million in cash, no debt, on-going clinical stage drug development programs and multiple partnerships and licenses. After leaving, <mask> started Oakbio, Inc., a privately held Clean Technology company in California. CO2 from industrial waste gas streams is captured and converted into valuable chemicals, and Green House Gas is sequestered from the atmosphere.In 2012 <mask> moved to Australia from Silicon Valley, California, where he had worked for 25 years. <mask> is the Executive Chairman of NeuClone, the Non-Executive Chairman of Immutep and the Chairman of NovoNutrients. Two years after its spinout from Affymax-GlaxoWellcome, Maxygen, Inc. completed its initial public offering of $110MM. Maxygen raised another $150 million in a secondary public offering in 2000. <mask> and his colleagues at NeuClone were more recently. Private investors in Australia raised $10 MM to support the development of a portfolio of 10 biosimilars. In 2004, <mask> received a Doctor of Science degree from the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia, and in 2008, he received a Doctor of Science degree from the University ofQueensland.He received the first Grimwade Medal for Biochemistry in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Melbourne. <mask>'s publications cover a wide range of topics, from the metabolism of the algae to the role of parasites in disease virulence. His papers show successful use of the tools of chemistry and biology. <mask> has nine patents. He patented the discovery, characterisation and cloning of a novel gene that protects against the most lethal form of malaria. This discovery led to a rapid, sensitive, inexpensive and reliable diagnostic test for Malaria. The test has been used all over the world.In 1990 and 1995 he and his colleagues at Affymax applied for the patents of antigenic determinants obtained using a pathogenic agent or a derivative that presents a restricted set of antigens. While working at Maxygen Inc., he and his colleagues developed three patents for the following technologies. The company is called Prima Biomed. The Garvan Institute of Medical Research alumni are Malariologists WEHI.

title: Abul Fateh

texts: One of the founding fathers of South Asian diplomacy after the Second World War was a Bangladeshi diplomat, Sufi and Director of Pakistan's Foreign Service Academy, who later became Bangladesh's first Foreign Secretary. During the 'Liberation War' period, he was Bangladesh's senior-most diplomat. He was a Carnegie Fellow in International Peace and a Rockefeller Foundation Scholar and Research Fellow. He rose to the most senior ranks of public service in Pakistan because of his Bengali heritage. At the time Bangladesh began seeking independence, he defected and changed sides to support the country, which was a huge propaganda coup for the cause. The highest-ranked foreign service officer in the new country was <mask>. His story was documented in a National Geographic documentary.He was described by a former colleague and successor Foreign Secretary as a great and brave freedom fighter who was at the same time reticent about his contributions. His professional skill and deep sense of patriotism should be an example. The Foreign Minister of Bangladesh talked about his contribution to self-right movements of people, country's independence struggle and managing assistance to war-torn country after independence. She said that he would be remembered for his contribution to the country's liberation war. In the history of post-Second World War, post-colonial diplomacy, a public servant who was a leading light behind the scenes within the Developing World and Non Aligned Conference, including the Commonwealth, was a distinguished figure. There was a rare joint U.S./U.K. that came to be held in the highest regard. In 1977 he was said to be "very able, highly intelligent, moderate, easy to deal with, and well informed".At the launch of his university's South Asia Centre in 2015, the President and Director of the London School of Economics Professor Craig Calhoun included Fateh in a list of a dozen public figures of the 20th century who he felt represented "the greatest fruits" of the "close mutual relations between South Abdul Gafur and his second wife Zohra Khatun had a child named <mask> who was born on May 16, 1924. In a large family of a dozen children who survived to adulthood, two other siblings died young. Abdul Gafur was one of the first Muslim darogas in British India. Zohra was the daughter of a nobleman. In 1941, he passed his exams from Ramkrishna High English School. After passing his Intermediate exams from Ananda Mohan College in Mymensingh in 1943, he undertook higher studies in English Literature at Dhaka University, where he excelled in sport, for a time captaining the cricket team and becoming the table tennis champion.The first Foreign Service exams of Pakistan were taken by a Pakistani diplomat while he was teaching English Literature at a college in Sylhet. He joined the Pakistan Foreign Service in 1949. He moved to Paris to complete his training after taking a special course at the London School of Economics. He was sent back to Paris as the third secretary in the Pakistan Embassy. Calcutta had a further posting as Third Secretary. He married the daughter of a respected lawyer, Shahabuddin Ahmed, at Rangpur on January 5, 1956. He and his wife had two sons, one of whom is the editor of the Bangladeshi news organisation.The Director of Pakistan's Foreign Service Academy in Lahore was attached to the Foreign Ministry in Karachi from 1960 to 1963, during which time he was also a Fellow of the Graduate Institute of International Studies. Foreign postings continued. He was the acting chief of mission in the Czech Republic from 1966 to 1969 and the first secretary in New Delhi from 1966 to 1967. He was posted to the Pakistan Embassy in Baghdad in 1970. The acting president of the Bangladesh government-in-exile received a request from a dormitory mate to join the liberation struggle. In July 1971, Fateh received a summons from the Pakistan Foreign Ministry to attend a conference in Tehran. As he and his driver approached the Iran–Iraq border, he feigned chest pains and ordered the driver to return him home, where he arrived that evening.He dismissed the driver because he was going to take a plane the next day. He and his family fled across the border into Kuwait, where they were assisted by officials from the Indian Embassy to take a plane to London. It was the first time that a full ambassador had joined the Bangladesh diplomatic service. The military regime in Islamabad was tricked into believing that the news was a "James Bond-type adventure" and a calculated plunge into danger. It was a dramatic defection which caused a sensation in diplomatic circles and boosted the spirits of those engaged in the war of liberation. The British Government refused to extradite Fateh from London despite furious requests from the Pakistan military regime. The events were chronicled in a National Geographic Channel documentary.He was made ambassador-at-large in August 1971 and concurrent advisor to the acting president in January 1972 after he returned to Bangladesh. He was in charge of the country's diplomatic service and managed relations with the United States and India. He was the senior-most diplomat of the Bangladesh movement in the United Nations delegation which was in New York in 1971 to lobby for the Bangladesh cause at the General Assembly. He had the advantage of being familiar with decision-makers and the decision-making process, as well as being in communication with other governments, such as the Nixon administration in the United States. Syed Muazzem Ali described him as a soft-spoken and scholarly diplomat who was exceptional in his ability to articulate the cause. He was one of the first high officials to reach Dhaka after it was liberated. He became the first civilian official to lay a wreath at the ruins of the Shaheed Minar when he was driven under escort from the airport.He became Foreign Secretary at the end of 1971 and played a key role in formulating Bangladesh's foreign policy. He was Bangladesh's first Ambassador in Paris. In order to get African governments to recognize the independence of Bangladesh, extensive travel was done in Africa. He represented Bangladesh at a Commonwealth conference. At a time when there was a shortage in supply of phosphates, he was able to secure a large shipment for Bangladesh. He took up the post of High Commissioner in the UK in 1976. His recommendation that dual citizenship be allowed was approved by the Bangladesh government after he chaired the Commonwealth Conference on Human Ecology and Development in London.Remittances from Bangladesh to the UK were an important source of foreign exchange. He pointed out that if they took up the benefits of British citizenship, they wouldn't be able to maintain their ties to the mother country. His last job was as ambassador to Algeria. The Bangladesh government was represented at two UN conferences. He retired in 1982. Towards the end of his career, <mask> became a casualty of Bangladesh's complex and shifting political landscape. He was not favored by the military-backed regimes which followed the Liberation War era administration.His assignment to Algeria was seen by historians as a premature transfer and a virtual exile in a diplomatic post. One commentator believes that <mask> was a victim of a conspiracy hatched against him by anti-liberation forces. After retiring in 1982, he and his wife moved to London to be near their sons. On December 4, 2010, <mask> died of natural causes in London. A Sufi once said, "Do not speak anything that you do not know to be true." Don't draw attention to yourself by speaking in the spirit of offering. When it matters, you should stand up.The Bangladesh Government was represented by His Excellency the Bangladesh High Commissioner Professor Mohammad Sayeedur Rahman Khan who delivered a homily which spoke of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's devastation at the news of Ambassador Fateh's burial. The flag of Bangladesh was brought by the High Commissioner to be draped over the coffin so that Mr. Fateh could lie in state before his interment. Justice of the Supreme Court the Right Honorable Syed Refaat Ahmed spoke at the event about the humility and self-effacement of Fateh, against the backdrop of an enormous contribution to the public and civic life of the country. The Member of the London Assembly at London's City Hall spoke at the Qul Khwani and non-denominational Sufi service a few days later, reminding those gathered that the father chose to stand and be counted during the 1971 war. A non-denominational Sufi Service was arranged by the Sufi Order established by Inayat Khan, whose son Vilayat Inayat Khan was a friend of <mask>. All media in Bangladesh carried extensive notices about the death of the country's most distinguished diplomat. The Carnegie Foundation has a fellowship in International Peace.The Rockefeller Foundation Scholar Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee medal was awarded to Bangladesh.

Museum Victoria bought the jumper for $100,000 and intended to display it at the First Peoples exhibition in July.

texts: <mask> is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California and Akwidaa, Africa. Critics have noted that <mask>'s work is "fluent in cultural iconography, driven by introspection, and steeped in issues of corporate politics and racial identity", writes Amy M. Mooney in the catalogue for the exhibition Black is, Black Ain't at the Renaissance Society, Chicago. <mask> uses the lens of race, class, gender, and colonialism to challenge binaries in the past and present. His work is meant to challenge the viewer by what he is including and what he is leaving out. <mask> was born in Los Angeles, California.

During the time of Jackson's landmark albums Off the Wall and Thriller, <mask> was asked by Jackson to become his personal photographer. Ron said that Michael wanted him specifically because he didn't talk much. Jackson is very sensitive to the overt racism of the American press and knows that a caption can completely alter the context of a photograph.The images he approved were released to the press. Michael Jackson's exploration of race and gender inspired <mask> to use photographs of him in his art. The idea of Jackson as a superior metaphysical being is added to by his work, which often consists of frames with photographs of only parts of Jackson shown, such as a hand or his jacket.
