Defeating Labour's Geraldine Smith by 866 votes, he took the constituency on a swing greater than the national average. He was re-elected in 2015 with an increased majority of 4,590 and in 2017 with a reduced majority of 1,399. <mask> served as a Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland Offices.

He stated his reason for supporting remaining in the European Union was because he was "standing at the side of the Prime Minister on this one, because the Prime Minister has always stood by me and my people in Morecambe". Morecambe and Lunesdale voted narrowly to leave the European Union.Following the referendum he supported the position of his party and became committed to the UK leaving the European Union. In September 2020, <mask> was found guilty of breaching the rules on donations by the Parliamentary Standards Commission. He was found to have lobbied on behalf of Aquind Ltd, a firm led by Ukrainian-born businessman Alexander Temerko, who had donated more than £1m in total to the Conservative Party, and individual Conservative MPs. <mask> himself had received a donation of £10,000 from the firm. Following an interim report on the connections between colonialism and properties now in the care of the National Trust, including links with historic slavery, <mask> was among the signatories of a letter to The Telegraph from the "Common Sense Group" of Conservative Parliamentarians. The letter accused the National Trust of being "coloured by cultural Marxist dogma, colloquially known as the 'woke agenda'". Constituency campaigns
<mask> helped secure £120 million funding for the M6 link road in his constituency.He helped secure £10 million in funding to build the sea wall defences in Morecambe and £3 million to reinvest in the West End Gardens. He successfully lobbied the Government to fund reinforcing the Sea Wall Defenses at Sunderland Point in his constituency. He has been praised by his Conservative Party colleagues, such as the Chancellor George Osborne and Philip Hammond, as well as Prime Ministers <mask> and Theresa May, for being a catalyst for regeneration in his constituency and helping to secure further funding. <mask> was credited by the Conservative Party as being pivotal in securing the site for a new nuclear power station alongside Heysham 1 and 2. In December 2017, <mask> questioned claims about child poverty in his constituency made by local schools and a doctor who appeared in an ITV news story about poverty, alleging that staff at the schools were linked to Labour's campaign group Momentum Morris posted on his Facebook page that "These claims are not those being experienced by myself or the jobcentre in the area". <mask> stated on ITV that there was no proof or validity to these claims from any official source and called for social services to investigate to sort the matter out. Despite <mask>' protestations, child poverty in Morecambe continues to reach the national press.With 10% of children at Morecambe Bay Primary School coming from a family using food banks, the Head Teacher has spoken out against this perceived injustice on national television. Expenses
In 2013, <mask>' expenses attracted media attention after it was revealed that he had the second highest parliamentary expenses claim in the country. Criticised by his political rivals, he responded to his local newspaper that: "I am frankly insulted by the line of questioning your journalist has decided to take...My expenses are independently adjudicated by IPSA and are only paid for legitimate items." <mask> has received attention for the number of overseas trips he has received as an MP. In October 2018, it was detailed that his free trips overseas in the previous year were worth £17,994 in total and were the third highest value of any MP's trips during the year following the 2017 general election. In May 2016, it emerged that <mask> was one of a number of Conservative MPs being investigated by police in the United Kingdom general election, 2015 party spending investigation, for allegedly spending more than the legal limit on constituency election campaign expenses. However, in March 2017, Lancashire Police confirmed that no further action would be taken.In November 2016 it was reported that <mask> was being investigated for claiming £1,400 in car mileage expenses for trips in the UK on dates when he was abroad on parliamentary business. <mask> disputed the allegations and said the allegations from the expenses watchdog were false. In August 2017, <mask> was accused of nepotism by the publication Private Eye after it was revealed that he employed his partner as his Senior Parliamentary Assistant on a salary up to £45,000. <mask> argued that this was not nepotism as he had employed Emma Smith since 2010, which was before their relationship began. Although MPs who were first elected at or after the 2017 election have been banned from employing family members, the restriction is not retrospective – meaning that <mask>' employment of his partner is lawful. The restrictions do, though, state that staff members who begin a relationship with an MP while working for them, will have their publicly funded contract terminated after two years as partner. Personal life
In September 2019, <mask> married his partner Emma Smith in a ceremony at the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft at the Houses of Parliament.Smith served as his election agent and works as his Senior Parliamentary Assistant. Their daughter was born in September 2020. He has two sons from a previous marriage. <mask> is a friend of the actor and musician <mask>, whom he welcomed to the House of Commons in February 2011 as part of the campaign to reopen the Morecambe Winter Gardens. He is also friends with musicians Brian May of Queen, Bernie Marsden of Whitesnake and Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy, who have helped charitable causes in his constituency. References

<mask> (born <mask>; October 20, 1907 – May 31, 2001) was an American actress, radio and television talk show host, and game show panelist. She is known for her long-running role as a panelist on the television game show  What's My Line?, on which she regularly appeared for 25 years, from 1950 to 1975, on both the network and syndicated versions of the show. Early life
<mask> was born on October 20, 1907, in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of Leah (née Davis) and Aram Kazanjian. Her Armenian father was studying art in Paris at the age of 16 when he learned that both his parents had died in one of the massacres perpetrated by the Ottoman government in Turkey between 1894 and 1896, known as the Hamidian Massacres. He emigrated to the United States and became a portrait photographer, opening his own studio in Boston in the early 20th century. Later in life, Kazanjian painted canvases of dogwoods, "rabbits in flight", and other nature scenes, selling them at auction in New York. When <mask> was seven years old, her father decided that opportunities were greater in New York and moved the family to a flat in Washington Heights, Manhattan.She remained a New York resident until she entered a San Francisco nursing home in 1993. Career

After attending Finch College, <mask> began a varied career as an entertainer based in New York City. She became an accomplished stage actress, performing in many local theatre and off-Broadway plays and in 25 Broadway plays through 1975. In 1932, she made her film debut in Universal's Murders in the Rue Morgue. She appeared in films sporadically until the 1970s. <mask> became a well-known New York City radio personality, hosting several programs. In 1938 she became the female host of the radio game show What's My Name?.Although several men appeared as co-hosts over the years, <mask> was the sole female host throughout the program's long run (on ABC, NBC, and Mutual networks) until it ended in 1949. In 1940, <mask> played Betty in Betty and Bob, an early radio soap opera broadcast. In 1943, she began as host of a network radio game show, Blind Date, which she hosted also on ABC and NBC television from 1949 to 1952. She was a regular contributor to NBC Radio's Monitor in the 1950s and 1960s and hosted a long-running midday chat show on WOR-AM that ran from 1960 to 1984. <mask> was a panelist on the weekly game show What's My Line? from its second episode on CBS in 1950 until its network cancellation in 1967, and in its daily syndicated version from 1968 to 1975. The original show, which featured guests whose occupation, or "line," the panelists were to guess, became one of the classic television game shows, noted for the urbanity of its host and panelists.She appeared on other game shows, including Match Game, Password, To Tell the Truth, and other programs produced by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, including a short-lived hosting stint on the Goodson-Todman show By Popular Demand, replacing original host Robert Alda. According to TV Guide, <mask> was the highest-earning game show panelist in the 1950s, making $1,000 (equal to $ today) per show on the prime time version of What's My Line?. By contrast, the second-highest paid panelists on TV, Dorothy Kilgallen and Faye Emerson, received $500 (equal to $ today) per appearance. <mask> was the emcee on the last episodes of The Comeback Story, a short-lived 1954 reality show on ABC in which mostly celebrities shared stories of having overcome adversity in their personal lives. <mask> was a pioneer for women on television, one of the first to host a program that was not musical or dramatic in nature. From 1954 to 1957, she was host and editor-in-chief of Home, NBC's hour-long daytime magazine program oriented toward women, which was conceived by network president Pat Weaver to complement the network's Today and Tonight programs. Newsweek put her on its cover as the "first lady of television."She hosted Talent Patrol in the mid 1950s. She acted in a few Hollywood films, debuting in the role of a streetwalker who falls prey to mad scientist Bela Lugosi in Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932). In her memoir, <mask> said she was cast for the movie even though her only acting experience at the time was in a small Shakespearean production in a convent school she had attended. Some sixteen years later, she appeared in the film version of Arthur Miller's play All My Sons (1948) with Edward G. Robinson. In the 1960s, <mask> made three films: One, Two, Three (1961), directed by Billy Wilder and filmed in Munich, in which she played James Cagney's wife; The Thrill of It All (1963) with Doris Day and James Garner; and, in 1968, the television version of the play Laura, which she had played on stage several times. Her final film performance was in Wilder's Fedora (1978). In 1978, <mask> wrote her autobiography, <mask> <mask>: A Memoir, with longtime friend Florence Rome.In 1960, she wrote That Certain Something: The Magic of Charm, and she published a cookbook, No Time for Cooking, in 1961. She was a member of the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors from 1980-82. <mask> also guested on television programs including Mrs. G. Goes to College in 1962 in the episode "The Mother Affair". Personal life
<mask> was married twice. Her first marriage, from 1935 to 1945, was to Neil Agnew, an executive with Paramount Pictures; they divorced in 1945. She wrote of this experience in her 1978 autobiography: Having made the actual physical break, it was easier for me than I had thought to explain to Neil some of what I felt, what I had been feeling for so long a time. Not all, of course.There were areas which I couldn't discuss even then, which would be too hurtful to him, I felt. I saw him fairly often, and he courted me as though we had just met, but I was building up strengths which enabled me to resist not only his blandishments (including a lovely little house which he bought in New York as an enticement to get me to change my mind) but those of my parents, who also would have given anything to see me go back to the status which had been quo. As she disclosed in her autobiography, she admitted she never should have married Neil Agnew because she wasn't in love with him. During the marriage, she met Martin Gabel and fell in love with him. He encouraged her to divorce Agnew which was one of the sources for her torment because her parents loved Agnew like a son and after the divorce initially did not like Gabel for multiple reasons including one being her divorce. <mask>'s second marriage was to actor and producer Martin Gabel from 1946 until his death in 1986. Gabel was a frequent guest panelist on What's My Line?.The couple, who often exchanged endearments on the show, had a son, Peter Gabel, born January 28, 1947, a legal scholar associated with New College of California in San Francisco. Peter Gabel was an associate editor of Tikkun, a Jewish-community commentary magazine. While working as a tour guide at the 1964 New York World's Fair, Peter surprised his mother as a contestant on What's My Line?. <mask> and her husband settled a lawsuit for $185,000 in June 1962 that had been filed by the widow of a Detroit man who was killed when a dumbbell fell from the Gabel family’s eighth-floor Ritz Tower apartment and struck him on the head while he was visiting New York to celebrate his birthday. <mask>, Gabel, and their son Peter were vacationing in Connecticut when the 1960 incident happened. <mask> had instructed their maid to shampoo the carpet while they were away. The maid kept windows open for a long time to minimize the smell of the shampoo.The dumbbell was part of the equipment that <mask> used for her regular exercise of weightlifting. On May 26, 1963, <mask> was involved in a serious car accident while driving alone from a theater on Long Island to the Manhattan studio where she was expected for a live telecast of What's My Line?. The force from a car that struck her car caused her to skid on the wet surface of the Northern State Parkway, jump the highway's concrete divider, and collide with a car containing five passengers, one of whom was killed. <mask> suffered a broken collarbone, a concussion and many cuts and bruises. <mask> was known for wearing a heart-shaped diamond pendant, a gift from Gabel, which she wore on nearly all of her What's My Line appearances. A mugger robbed her of the pendant as she was leaving a New York City taxi in 1988. Death
<mask> died at the age of 93 on May 31, 2001, in San Francisco, California, from Alzheimer's disease and cancer.She was interred in Roosevelt Memorial Park in Trevose, Pennsylvania. References

Brevet Brigadier General <mask>, (June 16, 1839 – January 26, 1919), was a U.S. Civil War officer in the Union Army, Assistant Quartermaster General of New York, and a Montana merchant and politician in Bozeman, Montana. He was married at Albany, New York, on March 2, 1869, to Miss Emma D. Weeks, a native of Vermont. He died in Bozeman, Montana on January 26, 1919. Early years
<mask> was born in Canton, New York on June 16, 1839, the son of Ambrose and <mask>. He was one of seven children and had at least two brothers, Davis and George. His brother Davis would play a prominent role in <mask>'s later career as a businessman in Montana. He attended public schools in Canton and graduated from a prominent Academy before working as a clerk for two years and then volunteering for the Union Army in 1861.Civil War experiences

<mask> enlisted in Company A, Sixtieth New York Volunteers, August, 1861, was enrolled second sergeant September 9, 1861, a lieutenant October 3, 1862, first lieutenant and adjutant November 17, 1862. He was offered a captaincy on the same day the adjutant's commission was received, but declined. He was made captain August 2, 1864, lieutenant-colonel October 1, 1864 and colonel May 17, 1865. <mask> left the regiment July 17, 1865 as a colonel. On March 12, 1867, he was brevetted brigadier-general of volunteers "for gallant and meritorious services under General <mask>, resulting in the fall of Atlanta, Georgia." Campaigns
During the winter of 1861-62, <mask> participated in guarding the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and campaigns in Virginia under generals Nathaniel Banks and John Pope. He fought at the Battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862.On May 5, 1863, he was severely wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville Virginia. He did not return to duty until September 1863 under General Joseph Hooker when the XI and XII Corps of the Army of the Potomac moved westward to reinforce the Army of the Cumberland around Chattanooga, Tennessee. There <mask> participated in the battles of Wauhatchie, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Peavine Creek, and Ringgold Gap. In 1864-65 he campaigned under General <mask> and participated in the Chattanooga Campaign, the Atlanta Campaign, the Savannah Campaign and the Carolinas Campaign. As an aide, assistant inspector-general, and assistant adjutant-general, <mask> was present at significant events during these campaigns. In Atlanta, his regiment, the 60th New York Volunteers share the honor of unfurling the union flag on top of the city hall with the 111th Pennsylvania Infantry. As assistant adjutant-general under the command of General John W. Geary he received the surrender of Savannah at the hands of its mayor R. D. Arnold, and was the first officer to enter the city at the head of his own regiment.The regiment entered the city unopposed and met the mayor and a delegation of the City Council instead of troops. Once <mask> received the surrender his regiment quickly began providing protection to the citizens of Savannah from the mobs that had begun breaking into houses and plundering. Throughout the war <mask> enjoyed the confidence of his superiors and on more than one occasion he was entrusted with intricate and dangerous duties by General <mask>. Major General George S. Greene credited him with being a most faithful and intelligent officer, and of his regiment (60th New York Volunteers) Greene has said, "It was one of the best in the service." New York State Militia
At the close of the war <mask> held the rank of lieutenant colonel. His successful service and close association with many senior officers caused him to be appointed assistant quartermaster-general of the New York State Militia with the rank of colonel. For two years he was responsible for post-war dealings with the railroad companies regarding the transportation of troops, supplies, etc., the reconciliation of balances between the state and the general government, and the disposition of accumulated supplies belonging to the state.Working alongside <mask> was his cousin Charles Rich and army friend, Loren W. Tuller. In December, 1865 after hearing a presentation on the western U.S. by then Speaker of the House of Representatives, <mask> Colfax, <mask> got the wanderlust. He convinced his co-workers to that they should go to Montana and start a mercantile business. Unfortunately, <mask> could not leave his New York job unfinished and did not join Rich and Tuller until 1867. However, he did invest in the business enterprise and enlisted the participation of his younger brother Davis to join Rich and Tuller in the 1866 journey to Montana. After reaching Omaha, Nebraska in May 1866, <mask>, Rich and Tuller invested over $5000 in supplies, merchandise and transportation to embark on an overland journey to Bozeman, Montana. Their journey took them west along the Platte River Road to Fort Laramie, Wyoming and then northwest along the Bozeman Trail.They arrived safely in Bozeman on September 2, 1866 with little interference by hostile Indians along the Bozeman Trail. They operated a successful store out of a tent for two months and by the end of 1866, they had moved into a rented cabin on main street with a sign that read: "Tuller and Rich - Cheap Cash Store". Davis quickly established a corral attached to the cabin and named it "Empire Corral". The business flourished as they freighted supplies to the mining camps in Bannack and Virginia City, Montana. By the spring of 1867, <mask> had found a prospective wife, Emma D. Weeks, and had finished his important postwar work for the New York State Militia. He resigned the office in March, 1867 to engage in business in Montana. Montana merchant

<mask> left New York in April 1867 taking a much less arduous route to Bozeman.The Bozeman Trail was now closed because of Indian trouble so <mask> traveled by Union Pacific passenger train from Chicago to Platte City, Missouri. From there, stagecoaches carried <mask> to Denver, Colorado, Salt Lake City, Utah and on to Virginia City, Montana. He met with then Territorial Governor of Montana, Thomas F. Meagher in Virginia City and arrived in Bozeman on May 22, 1867. He became an active partner with his brother Davis, Rich and Tuller in running the mercantile business which was now flourishing because of the construction of Fort Ellis just west of town. In January, 1868 he returned to New York and proposed to Miss Emma D. Weeks. By May, he was back in Bozeman helping run the business. In January 1869, <mask> returned to Albany, New York to marry Miss Emma D. Weeks on March 2, 1869, and bring her back to Bozeman.Returning via a Missouri River steamboat to Fort Benton, Montana, <mask>, Emma and her piano were back in Bozeman by mid-May 1869. They soon moved into a remodeled cabin originally built by Daniel E. Rouse in 1864 in what was at the time one of the finest residences in Bozeman. Tuller left the business in 1868 and <mask> in 1870 to rejoin for a short period in 1872. <mask> eventually became a Presbyterian minister in the 1880s and the pastor of a small Gallatin Valley church. <mask> sold "The Willson Company" in 1914 five years before his death in 1919. In August 1870, <mask> and Emma had the opportunity to entertain the civilian members of the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition for dinner in their home on the evening before they left Bozeman on their historic expedition to Yellowstone. <mask> was a board member on the first executive board of the Agricultural College of Montana when it was established in 1893.In 1882, along with <mask>, J.E. Martin, Broox Martin, and Edwin Lewis, <mask> helped capitalize one of the first banks in the county, the Gallatin Valley National Bank. The bank failed during the Panic of 1893 and never reopened. Montana politician
While serving in New York, <mask> became active in the Union Party (Republican), politics which he brought with him to Montana. Shortly after arriving in Bozeman, <mask> was instrumental in the establishment of a Bozeman chapter of the Union League, a quasi-ritualistic, patriotic society (Republican) in the hope that Montana politics would soon be dominated by Republicans. <mask> soon became a Union Party elector for the 1867 federal elections. In September, 1868 he won a seat in the Montana Territorial Legislature representing Gallatin County, Montana.<mask> was a Mason and a member of Bozeman Lodge No. 18, A. F. & A. M. He was charter member of the William English Post No. 10, Grand Army of the Republic and was a department commander of Montana. <mask> also belonged to the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States in New York, and to the Republican Club of the city of New York. In 1883-86 he served as territorial quartermaster-general with the rank of brigadier-general. Legacy

In 1886 <mask> and Emma built a home at 504 Central Ave, just blocks from downtown. It still stands today on Willson Avenue, a major residential thoroughfare intersecting Bozeman's West Main Street.After his death, the city renamed Central Avenue to Willson Avenue, for <mask>. Emma and <mask> had three children. Only one, Fred Fielding <mask> survived to adulthood. <mask> became a prominent Bozeman architect and was responsible for a great many Bozeman buildings still standing today. He designed the Gallatin County High School, which was named Willson School in his honor when the building was converted from a high school to a middle school. <mask> died on January 26, 1919 and is buried in the <mask> family plot, Sunset Hills Cemetery, Bozeman, Montana.

<mask> (born April 21, 1957) is a Mexican American former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who holds the major league record for career pitching appearances, having pitched in 1,252 games. He pitched most notably for the New York Mets in the 1980s and made the NL All-Star team in 1983 and 1984. He won a World Series in 1986 with the Mets and in 1988 with the Dodgers. He threw left-handed, but batted right-handed. He retired in 2003 after having been with the Mets, Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, Milwaukee Brewers, Baltimore Orioles, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, and Minnesota Twins. He retired when he was 46 years old, one of the oldest players to still be playing in the modern age. <mask> is one of only 29 players in baseball history to date to have appeared in Major League games in four decades.<mask>'s longevity was greatly aided by the increasing use of left-handed specialist relief pitchers from the 1990s onward; in his last several years, he was used almost exclusively in this role. Biography
<mask> was drafted out of Santa Barbara City College by the Minnesota Twins in the 1978 Major League Baseball Draft. In February , the Twins traded <mask> to the New York Mets to complete a deal that had sent veteran starter Jerry Koosman to Minnesota two months earlier. <mask> made his debut on April 5, 1979 with the Mets. <mask> had his best seasons in the early and mid-1980s with the Mets. He had a career-best 1.47 ERA in 1983. That year, he also won 13 games and saved 17, with 110 innings pitched, making his first All-Star Team and finishing third in the National League Cy Young Award voting.He had 31 saves in 1984, which was 3rd in the National League, and went 10–6 in 60 appearances; good enough for his second All-Star selection. In 1985, he began sharing closing duties for the Mets with right-hander Roger McDowell, giving the Mets a vaunted lefty–righty combo coming out of the bullpen to close games. In 1983, <mask> became just the third and, to date, the last Mets pitcher to record two wins in the same day. This feat had been accomplished by Craig Anderson in 1962 and Willard Hunter in 1964. On July 31, 1983, Banner Day, the Mets won both games of a double-header against the Pirates in extra-inning walk-off wins. <mask> pitched the last four innings of the first game and the final inning of the second game, and both times was the pitcher of record when the Mets rallied to win. <mask>'s clutch relief pitching in the  postseason was one of the key reasons the Mets won the World Series.He was on the mound for the final pitch of the final game of both the NLCS against the Houston Astros, and the World Series against the Boston Red Sox. <mask> ended both series by striking out the final batter. <mask> also provided one of the most memorable images of that World Series and it would become an iconic image to the Mets and their fans: after striking out Marty Barrett to end the series, he threw his glove way up in the air and immediately dropped to his knees while catcher Gary Carter ran out to the mound to embrace him. The photo was taken by Mets photographer George Kalinsky, who was also the photographer at Madison Square Garden. For many years, this was the final scene shown during the ending credits of the syndicated Major League Baseball news show This Week in Baseball. Having also become the first (and only) relief pitcher to get three wins in one playoff series (which he accomplished in the NLCS against the Astros), <mask> would primarily be remembered for that year. Coincidentally, Jerry Koosman, whom the Mets had traded to Minnesota in the deal that brought <mask> to New York, was on the mound for the final out of the 1969 World Series—to date, the only other Fall Classic the Mets have won.The final batter in that World Series, Davey Johnson, would be <mask>'s manager on the '86 World Championship team. At his peak, <mask> was virtually unhittable against left-handed batters. Rob Neyer later wrote that <mask> stayed in the majors for almost a quarter-century because of "his ability to make lefties look foolish." After getting traded away by the Mets in a huge deal involving over seven players, he found a very brief one-year home with the Dodgers (where he won the 1988 World Series), and then signed with Cleveland and stayed there for three years. His only real recognizable home besides the Mets came in Baltimore when he stayed with the Orioles for the latter half of the 1990s. While his best seasons came in New York, he had an excellent 1997 season, finishing with a 2.32 ERA, his best since the 1980s. On June 25, 1999, <mask> set the all-time record for major league relief appearance with 1,051 passing Kent Tekulve.In 2003, he was on three different teams and finished with 33 innings pitched. The 2003 season also marked his return to New York, this time though with the Yankees. He was traded to the Yankees from the San Diego Padres for a player to be named later. He played his last game on September 27, 2003 with the Twins. He signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the 2004 season but decided to retire before spring training. He was eligible for the  Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009; however, his lifetime stats made him a longshot for the Hall and he dropped off the ballot after only one year. He was the last active MLB player from the 1970s, outlasting Rickey Henderson (the last active position player) by over a week.While Henderson got inducted on the first ballot, <mask> was off future Baseball Writers' Association of America ballots after only receiving one vote. , he is the only player in Major League history with more than 1,200 games pitched or more than 1,000 inherited runners.

<mask>. (September 10, 1941 – September 24, 1998) was a chess grandmaster from the Philippines. FIDE awarded him the International Master title in 1975 and the International Grandmaster title in 1976. He was Philippines' second chess grandmaster. <mask> was a lawyer by profession, as well as an award winning chess writer and journalist. Chess career

<mask> was considered the strongest Asian player during the 1960s and 1970s, before the emergence of compatriot Eugenio Torre. <mask> won international chess tournaments in Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, and Odessa, USSR during the period. At the 1966 17th Chess Olympiad in Havana, Cuba,  <mask> scored 15½ points out of 20 games (.775) and was awarded the individual silver medal award, behind gold medalist, former world champion Mikhail Tal, who scored 11 points out of 13 games (.846).In the 1967 Meralco "Beat Bobby Fischer" match series in Manila, of the top 10 Filipino players, <mask> was the only then Philippine national master to hold the future world champion to a draw:

R. C<mask> – R. J. Fischer, Manila 1967. He defended his title and shared first place at the Meralco-sponsored 1968 Philippine Open championship with world championship candidate Yugoslav grandmaster Svetozar Gligorić. In 1975, then-IM <mask> achieved a 5-5 score at the Manila Marlboro Classic International Chess Tournament, one-half point short of the grandmaster norm, tying with Gligoric for 6th-7th place. <mask> defeated world championship candidates Lev Polugaevsky of USSR and Bent Larsen of Denmark, as well as the Czech-American grandmaster Lubomir Kavalek. Winner at Odessa and grandmaster in 1976
<mask> achieved his greatest victory at the 1976 Odessa International Tournament, winning with a 10–4 score. <mask> was undefeated against all Soviet opponents, and a point ahead of Lev Alburt, and former Soviet champion Vladimir Savon. Bobby Ang, a Philippine chess columnist of Indo Chess and Philippine Business World, recounted in his Chess Piece column:

"Vladimir Savon, the Absolute Russian Chess champion pre-tournament favorite, had been upset in the second round by Tseitlin and it was <mask> who jumped into the lead scoring 5/6.Savon gave chase and three rounds before the end of the tournament the two leaders met. The Philippine Chess Champion <mask>' decisive win over the Soviet Champion was considered to be the turning point of the tournament. <mask>, <mask> Carreon, Philippines (2365) – Savon, Vladimir A USSR (2545)
Odessa, USSR, 1976. Benoni, Classical Defense. <mask> thereby became the first foreign player to win an international tournament in the Soviet Union since World Chess Champion José Raúl Capablanca's win in Moscow, 1936 and GM Reuben Fine's wins in Leningrad, 1937 and Moscow, 1937. <mask>' remarkable accomplishment brought great honor to his country, the Philippines, a nation that is sorely in need of heroes." As a result of his victory in Odessa, FIDE awarded <mask> the International Chess Grandmaster title.More games

<mask> (born 12 December 1970) is a German serial killer. He wore a mask while killing three and sexually assaulting at least 40 children in school camps. He also did some of his activities in camps, private homes and other places. <mask>, who committed his first act in 1992, was also known as the "Masked Man" and the "Black Man". After his arrest on 15 April 2011, the 40-year-old educator confessed to three murders, but is suspected of two others. <mask> was sentenced on 27 February 2012 by the Stade district court, among other things, for three murders to life imprisonment. The court also noted the particular severity of the guilt.Crimes
In 1992, a series of abuse began on boys, mainly in northern Germany. <mask>, who was described as tall and strong, always attacked at night, masked in school homes, camps and youth homes. From 1994, he began to break into single-family homes. <mask> has also committed three murders in northern Germany, in addition to about 45 attempted or completed abusive offenses. In the case of two more homicides in western France and the Netherlands, he is considered a suspect. The three year rhythm (1992, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004) of the alleged murder series is particularly striking. School Home Attacks

Children's home in Hepstedt
On 3 March 1992, a student discovered a masked man in an empty dormitory of a children's home in Hepstedt, who fled shortly thereafter through a patio door.A few days later, the man tried to abuse an 11-year-old boy, but fled when he began to scream. Between April and June 1992, the masked man was seen twice by students before one night in August, when he woke up several children and touched them inappropriately. In September, the stranger approached a boy's bed and asked him to undress. On an October night, the masked man spoke to five children in a row, of which he then abused three. After these incidents, a motion detector was installed in the school camp and the door locking system was renewed. Schullandheim Badenstadt
Also in March 1992, a series of similar incidents began in Schullandheim Badenstadt in Zeven, when a stranger tried to abuse a 13-year-old at night. In August of the same year, the probably-same perpetrator snuck into a toilet with a 10-year-old boy.In September 1992, he touched a 9-year-old inappropriately, after he had carried him from his bed into an adjoining room. In May 1994, the alleged serial offender abused an 11-year-old and almost exactly a year later, he repeated the crime on a 10-year-old boy. In October 1995, he tried to touch a 13-year-old, but fled when he sat down close to his classmates. In June 1998, he struck in Badenstadt for the last time, when he tried to touch two boys, who resisted his advances. Schullandheim Wulsbüttel – Murder of Dennis Klein (2001)
In June 1995, the perpetrator abused a 10-year-old exchange student in Wulsbüttel and fled through a room window. In July 1999, the man awoke an 8-year-old boy, took him to the house's basement and abused him. On 5 September 2001, 9-year-old Dennis Klein disappeared from his room at night.Fourteen days later the boy was found murdered, by a mushroom picker in a dense shrubbery on a forest road between Kirchtimke and Hepstedt. Other crimes in school homes – Murders of Stefan Jahr (1992) and Jonathan Coulom (2004)
In March 1992, a teacher in the hallway of the Schullandheim Cluvenhagen saw a man carrying a drowsy boy who did not resist. When the offender noticed the teacher, he fled. In the early morning of 31 March 1992, 13-year-old Stefan Jahr disappeared from a boarding school in Scheeßel. Five weeks later, his body was found buried with his hands tied behind his back in the Verden dunes. On 7 April 2004, 11-year-old Jonathan Coulom disappeared from a school home in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins in western France. In May, his undressed, handcuffed body weighted with a concrete block was found in a pond about 30 kilometres away.<mask> is said to have been close to the scene of the crime in May 2004. Tent camp attacks – Murder of Dennis Rostel (1995)
This crime spree began in August 1992, when a masked offender sexually abused a 9-year-old and another child in a camp near Selker Noor. In July 1994, the perpetrator entered two tents, one after another, in a camp in Otterndorf and awoke seven boys aged between 8 and 9, which he touched inappropriately. At the end of August 1994, a 13-year-old boy woke up in the Selker Noor camp when the offender began touching him. After about ten minutes, the masked man disappeared. Two days later, the man again touched another 13-year-old in Selker Noor. During the night of 24 July 1995, 8-year-old Dennis Rostel disappeared from the camp.Two weeks later, German tourists found his body buried in a sand dune near Vinderup in Denmark. Family house attacks
A masked offender penetrated in April 1994 several single-family houses in the Bremen area, especially in the Horn-Lehe district, and abused three boys. The actions differed in detail and approach from the usual attacks, however, according to the investigators it was the same masked offender. The police, despite the insistence of parents, issued no public warning. Chronological overview of the acts
The list includes the crimes that were attributed to the masked man even before <mask>'s arrest. The investigation after the arrest and also the process gave indications of further cases of abuse. Some acts, including the murder of Jonathan Coulom, were denied by <mask> and so far could not be proven.Investigations
In connection to the murder of Dennis Klein, a special commission as formed by the Verden an der Aller police (SoKo "Dennis"). In the context of the investigation, the murders and, sometimes unknown to the investigating authorities, cases of abuse could be put into narrower context and assigned them to an alleged perpetrator based on testimonies and almost identical facts. The Bavarian Landeskriminalamt supported SoKo "Dennis" by creating offender profiling. Offender description
According to a case analysis by Alexander Horn, the offender was said to be a strikingly tall, stocky man with a deep voice speaking German, between the ages of 30 and 50. He was supposedly well versed in Northern Germany, especially in the area around Bremen, and possibly lived there. He should have had a reference to the area around the towns of Hepstedt and Badenstedt in the early 1990s. In his actions, the man wore dark clothes, a mask and gloves, succeeding in intimidating children.Initially described as athletic, the perpetrator put on weight over the years. He was mostly travelling by car and seemed to have experience with children. It was assumed that he lived alone and was socially integrated, but had pedophilic tendencies towards boys, a fact possibly noticed by family and close friends. Also striking was the certain risk-taking of the offender, who exposed himself to many crime scenes of a possible discovery. In addition, he had transported the three German murder victims over long distances by car, and in the case of Dennis Rostel, even more than 250 kilometres over the guarded border in Denmark. Nevertheless, he had always managed to leave hardly any traces. The investigators, therefore, theorized that he was a smart offender who probably carried out his actions in a familiar environment and previously planned accordingly.According to criminologist Stephan Harbort, the perpetrator was classified as extremely dangerous: '"This is a person with high levels of planning ability. He is able to gain the trust of children. Those who have the discipline to do so for twelve years have reached a stage where there is no longer any inhibition to kill. Such a person no longer kills just children. As a banal quarrel with any ordinary person can be enough to commit murder." Search
Despite checking all relatives and acquaintances of the victims and a mass DNA testing of hundreds of men from northern Germany, <mask> was initially undetected. Special commissions from Germany, France and the Netherlands worked closely together in the case.The perpetrator and his crimes were also made public several times on television, including special broadcasts from , Spiegel TV, Ungeklärte Morde and Galileo. In addition, reports of the crimes were broadcast three times on Aktenzeichen XY… ungelöst, but without receiving any crucial information from the spectators. The police went after about 7,800 clues, without any breakthrough. In August 2010, a witness came to police, who had seen an old documentation about murders on the Internet that awakened a memory within him. He claimed to have seen the culprit along with the victim Dennis Klein in the car on a forest path in an early morning running track near the abduction site, whereupon a so-called situation sketch was prepared and published on 10 February 2011. Arrest
On 15 April 2011, police announced the arrest of a suspect. The crucial clue had come from an earlier victim who had been abused by a masked offender in his childhood home in 1995 and who had recalled in the February 2011 sketch that it was the same man who abused him.The then 40-year-old <mask>, who had lived in Bremen until September 2000, made a confession after the first interrogations. He admitted to killing Jahr, Rostel and Klein and abusing about 40 other children. He was also suspected of murdering Coulom and Dutch boy Nicky Verstappen, but he denied this. In 2020, a Dutch man was convicted of kidnapping and sexual abuse leading to Verstappen's death in 1998. Investigation
During his interrogation, <mask> stated that he had committed the three murders in order to cover up the sexual abuse and not be identified as a culprit. According to him, he strangled Jahr because had he had taken him in his car and feared that the boy might have noted his license plate number. He also claimed to have spent a few days on holiday with Dennis Rostel in a holiday home near Holstebro in Denmark, before he strangled him.<mask> also smothered Klein because he defended himself against the abuse loudly. Even before his arrest, <mask> was suspected by police for several reasons. After he had threatened two parents from Bremen with kidnapping and killing their children at the age of 17, he was convicted in 1989 for the extortion of 150,000 Deutsche Mark under juvenile criminal law for performing charitable work. When his criminal record was wiped from the educational register at the age of 24, <mask> applied for a foster son in 1995 at the Social Services Office in Bremen. The young, single student who at this time lived in a Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz studio with 870 Deutsche Mark. Though regarded as an unusual candidate for such a function, due to the small number of available foster parents, however, the youth welfare office accepted him as a foster father. A guardianship judge of the district court of Bremen-Blumenthal, in front of whom <mask> had previously answered as a teenager because of the attempted extortion, spoke twice to the child killer in 1996, granting him custody of the 12-year-old boy.The boy lived with <mask> until he was old enough to leave, but was never sexually abused by him. After completing his teaching studies, <mask> broke off the subsequent legal clerkship before the second state examination and applied in 2000 with falsified university certificates as a social education teacher in a daycare position at a Hamburg foundation, which he held until early 2008. Already in the years before, <mask> had worked as a youth worker in addition to his studies and had thus become familiar with some of his victims and locations. In 2005, he was charged with sexual abuse in two minor cases, but the case closed against payment of 1,800 euros. In 2006, <mask> threatened a social worker from Berlin to report him for possession of child pornography, and demanded 20,000 euros for his silence. Then he was sentenced in the same year for attempted extortion and sentenced to ten months probation. As part of this investigation, the police during a search of <mask>'s apartment also secured his computer, which, among other things, contained about 30,000 photos with child pornographic representations.Since it could not be clarified when the images were stored and when the last access was made, the prosecutor stopped the proceedings because of presumed statute of limitations ending in 2007. It was not recognized that some of the photos taken in the exhibit of the Hamburg police were former victims. In December 2007, <mask> was first interviewed by SoKo "Dennis", since he was found to match the offender's profile. He denied any sexual references to children. The request for a saliva sample, which he did not comply for in 2008, could not be enforced legally due to lack of sufficient suspicion. After his arrest, <mask>'s computer was confiscated again, with his new tenant having discovered in November 2011 several storage media, which were hidden under a hood in his former apartment. Investigators were unable to find the password and view the data they had saved.<mask> refused to mention the password, pointing to the protection of his friends and family. The likelihood of being able to decrypt complex access codes without his help was considered low, despite the state-of-the-art technology. At the end of 2016, <mask> voluntarily named the passwords to the authorities. As of May 2017, the evaluation of the now-usable data carries was not yet completed. In January 2021, <mask> was extradited to Nantes, France after he was charged with the murder of Coulom. Sentencing
On 15 July 2011, the prosecution filed charges against <mask> for threefold murder and sexual abuse in 20 cases. Around 20 more cases of abuse were already barred.On 10 October, the trial began before the district court of Stade, where the defendant showed constant. Psychological evaluations attested him a pedophilic disorder, but also noted that he was not insane and was a continuing danger with a risk of relapse. During the trial, there were indications of further acts of abuse in the 2000s and thus, an increased probability of recidivism. On 27 February 2012, <mask> was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of the three boys and 20 abuse cases, with subsequent preventative detention condemned. In addition, the court noted the particular severity of the guilt. However, <mask>'s defenders appealed the verdict regarding the preventative detention. On 10 January 2013, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) took place and canceled the preventative detention.This was justified by the statement that according to the current legal situation, the preventative detention can only be ordered to an indispensable protection of the general public. Since the BGH has confirmed the particular severity of the guilt, the minimum term of imprisonment of 15 years, which is usual for life imprisonment, will be extended. In addition, a discharge can only be carried out as a result of the demonstrable harmlessness of the convicted person. However, such proof would also suspend the execution of the preventative detention. Otherwise, it can be assumed that <mask> will remain in custody, possibly until the end of his life. Reception
 In the episode "Scream of the geese" on the Radio-Retort program on Radio Bremen this case was partially covered. ZDF filmed the story under the title In the Name of My Son, directed by Damir Lukacevic with Tobias Moretti and Inka Friedrich in the lead roles.Shooting began on 20 March 2015, and the broadcast took place on 2 May 2016.

title: Jan Willem Ter Braak

texts:
<mask> (real name Engelbertus Fukken; 28 August 1914 – 30/31 March 1941) was a Dutch espionage agent working for Germany who operated for five months in the United Kingdom. <mask> is believed to have been the German agent who was at large for the longest time in Britain during the Second World War, despite his short period of activity. When he ran out of money, <mask> committed suicide in a public air raid shelter. Youth
Engelbertus Fukken was born on August 28, 1914 in The Hague (Van Boetzelaerlaan 140). His parents were <mask> (1865 Amsterdam) and Elizabeth Johanna Fukken (1886 Rotterdam), who were not married because <mask>'s first wife refused to divorce  him. In the end he had  three brothers and three sisters. His father was a trader in cereals and later became an accountant.The family moved in 1917 to Noordwijk aan Zee, where they rented a villa at Duinweg 7. His mother died in 1920 of her eighth pregnancy. Engelbertus Fukken went to the Zeevaartschool in The Hague in 1930. He was interested in politics and became a supporter of Nazi Party of Adolf Hitler (NSDAP), which came to power in 1933. In 1934 he became member of the Dutch National Socialist Movement (NSB). His father died in December 1934 and he had to start working for his money. He got a job as an insurance agent in The Hague but  after half a year he did not pay the customer's premiums to his employer and was arrested for fraud.He received a sentence of three months. After that he worked as a journalist with the weekly Noordwijker paper and probably also Leidsch Dagblad (a newspaper from the city of Leiden) but in 1937 he had to return to jail for six months because he had not fulfilled his obligatory duties towards the Reclassification authorities. He was thrown out of the NSB and became unemployed. He lived in several rooms in Noordwijk. The only lighter point in his life was that he met a young woman in 1939, who became his fiancée, and he was financially supported by her family since that time. Recruitment by the Abwehr
In May/June 1940 Holland, Belgium and France were occupied by the Germans. In July 1940 the Hitler regime decided to send spies to England to prepare the invasion (Operation Sea Lion), which was planned for September.The Abwehr office (Ast) Hamburg (Herbert Wichmann and Nikolaus Ritter) became responsible for this so-called Operation Lena, in cooperation with Ast Brussels, especially for the spies who would land by boat on the shore of England. Rittmeister Kurt Mirow from Ast Brussels went to Holland to recruit spies. After having found three spies in Amsterdam, he traveled to The Hague and Noordwijk aan Zee around 25 July. In Noordwijk he had a good relation: Dieter Tappenbeck (1912), who was a cousin of Rudolf Tappenbeck, the director of the famous Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin. Dieter was a brilliant young man, he had studied geology, had worked for the Dutch Press Office, was a real Nazi and worked at that time for one of the German Ministries in Berlin. But in July/August he was back in the Netherlands for propaganda work in the Reichskommissariat of Seyss Inquart in The Hague. He suggested to Mirow that he ask his old friend Engelbertus Fukken to become a Lena-spy.(As children Dieter and Engelbertus had been pupils at the same school in Noordwijk.) Mirow did so, Fukken happily agreed and was turned into <mask> ter <mask>. He chose this forename because of his admiration for chief editor <mask> Henny of the Leidsch Dagblad. The last name he cynically derived from the famous journalist Menno ter <mask>, who published many articles against the Nazi policies. <mask> <mask> left Noordwijk and his fiancée on August 1, came back on August 12 for a few hours to say goodbye and to give a present to his fiancée, and then disappeared to "go to France for work" as he told her. It is also possible that he first worked for a few months for the Dutch Reichskommissariat and was only turned into a spy in October, when Dieter returned to Berlin. It is not clear where he was trained as a spy.Probably it was Germany (Berlin and Hamburg). In any case he also stayed in Brussels for some time because after his death MI5 found boots and some of his clothes, which were bought in Brussels. Arrival
<mask> <mask> arrived by parachute on a night between 31 October and 2 November 1940, landing near Haversham in Buckinghamshire. His parachute was discovered on 3 November but <mask> <mask> was not found. He had in fact made his way to Cambridge, where he arrived on 4 November. It is not clear where he stayed in the few days after his arrival in England. In Cambridge he found lodgings with a couple named Sennitt at 58 St. Barnabas Road, who accepted his story of having come from the Netherlands during the Dunkirk evacuation, having lived after that in two other places in South-England.He claimed to be working with Free Dutch forces in London on a Dutch newspaper. Activities
Despite his false identity papers, Ter <mask> was able to rent an office above the renting firm Haslop & Co in Green Street. As an alien from an occupied country, Ter <mask>'s residence should have been registered with the police, but he did not do so. His landlord did tip the Aliens Officer off that a Dutch national was living with him, but the police did not follow up and speak to him, saying that they were sure he would register before long. He spent most of the day out of the house but never spent a night away, and supported himself from a large amount of cash which he had brought with him and which included United States Dollars. He left his office in December 1940. He had installed his suitcase transmitter in his room in St Barnabas Road but around Christmas the batteries had been running down, so since then he could only communicate with the Abwehr in Hamburg by letters, written with invisible ink.Sometimes he made daytrips by bus or train to small cities in the neighbourhood such as Bedford and also travelled several times to London, where he probably inspected the effects of the bombardments on buildings and the citizens. Suspicion
In January 1941, <mask> <mask> was contacted by the Food Office about his ration card, which its records showed had been issued to a man named Burton, living in Homefields, Addlestone, Surrey. The card had been supplied by the Abwehr that had been given false numbers by the double agent SNOW (Arthur Owens). <mask> <mask> evidently suspected that he would be detected, and told his landlady that he had to leave for London. However, he relocated to Montague Road 11. Suicide
By March, Ter <mask>'s money was running out and he had to change his dollar bills through a fellow lodger who worked at a bank. At the end of the month he no longer had enough money to pay his landlady.On 29 March he deposited a large case in the left luggage office at Cambridge railway station and disappeared. Probably he visited somewhere around Cambridge, where he expected an airplane to help him out or provide him with further money, because he wore several layers of clothes in order to protect himself against the cold. The following day he went to one of the public air raid shelters at Christ's Pieces Park where, using an Abwehr-issue pistol, he committed suicide. His body was found on 1 April by an electrician; the possessions found on him included a forged identity card also carrying numbers issued by Double Agent SNOW (Arthur Owens) which had obvious errors, a Dutch passport without an immigration stamp, and 1/9d in cash. The case at the station was found to contain a radio transmitter. <mask> <mask> was buried in an unmarked grave (number 154) in the village cemetery in Great Shelford, four miles south of Cambridge. After the war
<mask> <mask>'s story was suppressed at the time.An inquest was held in camera; its findings were released, along with other information about him, on 8 September 1945. MI5 had found a picture of a young woman in his suitcase with the address of the photoshop in Noordwijk aan Zee. So that is how the Dutch police found his fiancée, Miss Neeltje van Roon (born 1922 in Noordwijk aan Zee) in November 1946 and told her about his death. In 1947, the Dutch Government asked MI5 if they could have an official statement on the death on Engelbertus Fukken, as his fiancée wished to make a claim for his life insurance policy, which he had put on her name when he left Noordwijk in August 1940. But probably she would never get the money, because she had stopped paying the premiums in 1944 and because he had committed suicide. In 1956 Neeltje van Roon married a man from Rijnsburg, a village nearby, never had children and died of a heart attack in 1995. She never talked about the fate of her former fiancé.That is why his story remained completely unknown to his family and all inhabitants of Noordwijk aan Zee. Literature
MI5-file KV2/114, which became public in 1999 gives a good impression of his life in Cambridge and how MI5 tried to find out more about his spying activities. Historian Winston Ramsey conducted research in 1976 about the days that <mask> <mask> was found dead and was buried nameless (1-8 April 1941). <mask> van den <mask> wrote a biography of <mask> <mask> in 2017, named '' (Spy against Churchill). He found out many things about his youth and recruitment in Noordwijk aan Zee, also with the help of family members of <mask> <mask> and his fiancée and some Dutch files in the National Archive in The Hague. The only English authors who describe <mask> <mask>'s recruitment in Noordwijk and his life in Cambridge in more than one page are Joshua Levine in 'Operation Fortitude' (2011) and James Hayward, in 'Double Agent SNOW' (2013). About Operation Lena in general there are books by Bryden, Peis, Farago, Levine, Hayward, Siedentopf and Verhoeyen, the memoirs of Masterman (MI5), the diaries of Guy Liddell (MI5), the memoirs of Nikolaus Ritter (Abwehr Hamburg) and the website of Giselle Jakobs (a granddaughter of Lena-agent Josef Jakobs).KV2/114 TNA (MI5 file of <mask> Braak)
