title: William Clarence Matthews

texts:
<mask> (January 7, 1877 – April 9, 1928) was an early 20th-century African-American pioneer in athletics, politics and law. Born in Selma, Alabama, <mask> was enrolled at the Tuskegee Institute and, with the help of Booker T. Washington (the principal of the institute), enrolled at the Phillips Academy in 1900 and Harvard University in 1901. At Harvard, he became one of the standout baseball players, leading the team in batting average for the 1903, 1904, and 1905 seasons. <mask>, having come from poverty and with no living parent, had to financially support himself with multiple jobs, but still managed to graduate in 1905 and was accepted to Boston University School of Law. In the summer of 1905, <mask> joined the Burlington, Vermont baseball team of the Northern League, making him the only African-American in any white professional baseball league at the time. Halfway through the season there were rumors of <mask> joining the struggling Boston Beaneaters as the starting second baseman, but possible backlash throughout the National League stopped the rumors. <mask> joined the Bar association in 1908 and became one of the first African-American Assistant District Attorneys in the country.He worked as legal counsel to Marcus Garvey before getting active in Republican Party politics and helping get Calvin Coolidge elected President in 1924. He died in 1928 while serving in Washington, D.C. as a U.S. Assistant Attorney General. For challenging the color line in professional baseball he is considered by his main biographer, Karl Lindholm, to be "the Jackie Robinson of his day". Early life
<mask> <mask> was born the third oldest child to <mask>, a tailor, and <mask> in Selma, Alabama on January 7, 1877. He had two siblings, Fannie, the oldest, and Walter (or Buddy), the second oldest. His father died in the 1890s and his family moved to Montgomery, Alabama. He was enrolled at the Tuskegee Institute from 1893 until 1897 where he graduated second in his class, was a standout athlete (organizing the first football team and being the captain of the baseball team), and became a student of Booker T. Washington.<mask> was the first head football coach at Tuskegee and he held that position for two seasons, 1893 and 1895; there was no team in 1894. His coaching record at Tuskegee was 0–2. <mask> also played on at least one of the teams he coached, serving as the captain. Washington arranged for <mask> to continue his study in the north, first at the Phillips Andover Academy, where he was the only African-American in his class of 97 students, and then in the fall of 1901 at Harvard University. Harvard baseball
<mask> was a recognized baseball standout at both the Tuskegee Institute and at Phillips Andover, and thus was able to walk on to the Harvard varsity baseball team as a Freshman. The tryouts for the Harvard Baseball team had over 140 people for only 12 spots, and <mask> was one of the first ones selected for the team. His joining the team caused some controversy, as one of a few African-American baseball players in American colleges at this point, and he had to be held out of games occasionally because of protests by other teams.During his sophomore year the team cancelled a tour through the southern states entirely. The Harvard baseball team was one of the best in the country (coached in 1902 by Cy Young and Willie Keeler) and <mask> was the star shortstop for the team, lettering all four years (1902–1905). <mask> made an important contribution his first season by scoring the winning run in the final game of the series against Yale in front of 9,000 fans at the Polo Grounds in New York City. He led the team in hitting his final three years (batting a high .400 and stealing 25 bases during his senior year) as the Harvard team won 78 games and lost 18 with him over that span. On the Harvard Baseball team, he played alongside of Eddie Grant (second baseman) and Walter Clarkson (pitcher), both of whom would go on to careers in professional baseball. However, <mask> was considered by one local paper to be the "greatest big league prospect" on the Harvard team. <mask> was highly lauded as a member of the Harvard Baseball team with the Boston Post dubbing him "no doubt the greatest colored athlete of all time" and "the best infielder Harvard ever had."<mask>, as he had done at Tuskegee and Andover, also played football. He played as the varsity quarterback for the first games of the 1901 season (his Freshman season) until he suffered an injury in the Harvard-Army game and became a backup for the rest of the undefeated 1901 Harvard season. He played his last three years for Harvard but was moved primarily to the left end position. In 1904, he was mentioned as a potential All-American. While at Harvard, his mentor was <mask> Lewis who at that point was the coach of the Harvard football team and the first African-American Assistant United States Attorney in the country. Burlington baseball

On July 4, 1905, <mask> became the starting second baseman for the Burlington, Vermont team in the Northern League. Taking the field that day in a doubleheader against a team from Rutland, <mask> became the only African-American playing in white professional baseball leagues at the time.He got three hits in his first game and fielded excellently. He played well for the whole season with the Burlington team taking second place and narrowly missing first place. In mid-1905, a rumor was published by the Boston Evening Traveller that coach Fred Tenney of the Boston National League team was thinking of signing <mask> to a contract. The Boston second baseman was Fred Raymer who was batting .211 for the season and Tenney needed a replacement. Interviewed about the rumor, <mask> was reported to have said that "Negroes should not be shut out because their skin is black." The rumor quickly dissipated with some claiming that the southern teams of the National League had threatened to leave and form a new league if <mask> played  and others contending that National League President Harry Pulliam had intervened to prevent signing <mask>. While playing in the Northern League, <mask> faced discrimination from fans and other players.Sam Appcrious, who like <mask> was from Selma, refused to play against <mask> when their teams played each other. At some points in the season, he was moved to the outfield in order to prevent his opponents from spiking him (injuring him with their metal cleats when sliding at him). The Burlington team, like most of the Northern League teams, was staffed by a number of "kangaroos" or players from the National League or American League upset with their contracts who would jump from league to league. These players would often return to those leagues and leave the Burlington team leading to regular turnover of players. Thus, <mask> was one of only four players who played for the entire season for the team. This would be his only year in professional baseball as he entered Boston University School of Law to work on his law degree in Fall 1905. Law and politics
<mask> passed the bar exam and married Pamela Belle Lloyd from Hayneville, Alabama in 1908.He coached Boston high school baseball teams for a few years during this period in order to put himself through law school. However, <mask> eventually replaced his mentor at Harvard <mask> Lewis as the Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Boston area. From 1920 to 1923, <mask> became the chief legal counsel for the Marcus Garvey founded Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. During the 1924 Presidential election, <mask> became an important supporter of the Republican Party and Calvin Coolidge. Although both <mask> and his mentor at Harvard <mask> Lewis were active Republicans, Lewis decided to support John W. Davis, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency because he felt the Republicans were not taking a strong enough stance against the Ku Klux Klan. <mask>, in contrast, became the Head of the Colored Division of the Republican National Committee in 1924. <mask>' position was the first time that a major U.S. political party put an African-American in charge of efforts to organize the African-American vote.<mask> criticized Lewis for leaving the Republican party and because of his efforts African-Americans in the North voted overwhelmingly for Coolidge. Following the 1924 election, <mask> delivered a list of seventeen demands to improve the position of African-Americans in the Coolidge administration. When Coolidge won, <mask> moved to Washington, D.C. and became an Assistant Attorney General. He was assigned to cases in Nebraska (October 1925), Illinois (December 1925), and finally to deal with water issues in California (June 1926). Death and legacy
<mask> died on April 9, 1928 (51 years old) of a perforated ulcer. Obituaries for <mask> ran in most of the major newspapers in the country. The New York Times called him "one of the most prominent Negro members of the bar in America."His funeral in Boston was attended by over 1,500 people with <mask> Lewis serving as an honorary pallbearer. <mask> was interred in Cambridge Cemetery in Cambridge Massachusetts. Harold Kaese wrote in the Boston Globe in 1965 that <mask> was "the Jackie Robinson of his age." Since 2006, the Ivy League baseball team to win the conference title receives the William <mask> Trophy. See also

title: Eloy Fritsch

type: original

texts:
<mask> (born 1968) is an electronic musician, keyboard player and main composer of Brazilian progressive rock band Apocalypse. As a solo artist he creates cosmic new-age music. History

In 1983 <mask> formed progressive rock band Apocalypse. They are considered pivotal in the development of progressive rock in Southern Brazil. In 1992, he moved to Porto Alegre and began his solo project composing electronic music. His first official solo album was Dreams, recorded in 1994 and 1995. During 1997, he released his second solo album, Behind the Walls of Imagination, which showcases his skills with various electronic and acoustic keyboard instruments.In the mid-1990s, <mask> secured a recording contract with French label Musea. His third album for them, Space Music, was released in 1998. The composer reveals his sci-fi style with Cyberspace. In this album Fritsch offers 1970s-inspired keyboard symphonic/electronic progressive instrumental music. Fritsch performs electronic music that evolves between Vangelis' ambient and impressionist electronic, and the synthesized progressive rock of masters such as Rick Wakeman. Nevertheless, <mask> has found his own style within melodic electronic music framework. The compositions are very melodic and emotive, with multi-layered instrumental textures/voicings and solidly coherent arrangements.<mask> has earned a PhD in computer music, and has served as a teacher of electronic music at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). During 1999, <mask> created the Electronic Music Center in the Institute of Arts at UFRGS. In parallel with his work as keyboard player of the group Apocalypse and his academic activity, <mask> releases music as a solo musician (through the Musea and Rock Symphony labels), such as the album Mythology, a large variety of original musical works in which he brings to maturity the use of synthesizers to compose melodic electronic music. This ambitious work uses the whole panel of his electronic sounds to depict fifteen tracks exclusively dedicated to the different gods worshiped in the past. Different cultures, such as Brazilian, Mesopotamian, Hindu, Amerindian, Inca, African, Greek, Egyptian, Scandinavian, Roman and Chinese, are outlined in the Mythology album by an instrumental composition, thanks to his panoply of keyboards including a Roland System 700 modular synthesizer. <mask> <mask>'s love of the sky inspired him to compose the electronic suite Atmosphere (2003). Once again the composer reveals his ecological convictions: he presently defends the virtues of the gas envelope that allow everyone to live on Earth: the Atmosphere.Landscapes (2005) was <mask>'s next work to emerge on disc. In 2007 <mask> <mask> wrote the book "Electronic Music" that was released in 2008 during the Book Fair in Porto Alegre. The book is accompanied by a DVD containing the electroacoustic compositions Synapse 5.1, Synthetic Horizon, Public Market, Indian Sampler, Mystery and Silicon Child created during his research in Electronic Music Center at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. <mask> <mask> received the Açorianos Music Awards. The awards ceremony happened on 28 April 2008, Tuesday night at the São Pedro Theater, Porto Alegre, Brazil. The Açorianos Music Awards honor the best albums, musicians and contributions to the music in South o Brazil. The ceremony was broadcast on television and event production presented a short film about the music and artistic works of the composer.In 2009 <mask> <mask> played keyboards in several concerts with the Apocalypse. He also released the album The Garden of Emotions. Musea company distributed the CD in Europe. The recorded company wrote the following lines about the album: "The ninth album The Garden Of Emotions presents symphonic themes with choirs, analog and digital synthesizers dominating. Fans of classic VANGELIS, Jean-Michel JARRE and Rick WAKEMAN works will enjoy this. Some of the more solemn themes remind Isao TOMITA. "Lumine Solis" is one of the best compositions and a choir-laden track."Solar Energy" introduces a spacier atmosphere, with phasing pads and Berlin School sequences. This is pure electronic music and a very good one, with all sorts of really fat analog timbres. "Beyond The Mountains" is a very cinematic and return to the classically inspired structures, with an extra ethnic elements. "Electric Light" is synthetic and even KRAFTWERK-like, with insisting sequences, vocoders and a simple repeating melodic theme. Flutes, marimba sound and percussion welcome the coming of "Savage" before a melodic synthesizers theme appears. "Space Station" is another foray into a purely synthetic world and you could also draw a comparison with Jean-Michel JARRE's "Chronologie". "The Canyon Of Hope" finishes this album with flowing synthesizers, symphonic textures and a reflective electric piano".In the same year <mask> was also honored on the Journey of Literature event in the Passo Fundo city, Brazil. The composer received the trophy Vasco Prado. In 2010 <mask> worked on two major projects: In the production of The Apocalypse 25th Anniversary Box Set (2 CDs, 1 DVD and the book about the Apocalypse Hystory) and the MCT Project - Music, Science and Technology funded by the Brazilian government. <mask> has created the Brazilian Virtual Museum of Synthesizer and a documentary film about electronic music to be distributed to schools and music teachers. He also created an exhibition of Electronic Music at the Museum of the University. In 2011 <mask> <mask> perform in South of Brazil with Apocalypse, Orchestra and Choral during the Symphonic Rock Concert and the group received the Açorianos Music Awards. The awards ceremony happened on 9 May 2012, Wednesday night at the São Pedro Theater, Porto Alegre, Brazil.The Açorianos Music Awards honor contribution of the Apocalypse group to the music in South of Brazil. The tenth Eloy Fritsch CD brings Exogenesis Suite in four movements inspired by the genesis of the universe. In addition to this suite the CD contains more eight individual tracks. Joining the symphonic and electronic, but without forgetting the ethnic instruments and the voices, the composer of new-age music uses high technology in the service of emotions to create compositions. The CD cover and booklet images were created by European artists specializing in science fiction illustrations Maciej Rebisz and Mirek Drozd and refer to the creation of the cosmos and the existence of other life forms.

<mask> was born on September 5, 1951, and grew up in Lexington, New York, where his family owned a small dairy farm. <mask> received a Bachelor of Science from the College of Agriculture at Cornell University in 1973, studied photography at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, from 1974 to 1975, and earned a Master of Landscape Architecture from the College of Fine Arts at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1977. He worked at Carr, Lynch, Associates, Inc., in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from 1979 until 1982, when he founded his own firm, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. In the early years of his practice, <mask>burgh specialized in seasonally dynamic hedge gardens and ice walls. He received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts which allowed him to experiment with ice as a material in landscape design.In 1988, <mask> received the Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome. Teaching career
<mask> is the Charles Eliot Professor of Practice, Emeritus at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. His career at the GSD began in 1982; he served as program director from 1987 to 1989, and as Chairman of the Department of Landscape Architecture from 1991 to 1996. Design approach and inspiration
<mask> describes his work as an exploration of the living qualities of the landscape medium and an attempt to emancipate landscape architecture from a its traditionally subsidiary relationship to architecture. His designs are based on a sensitivity to the particular qualities of each project site and thus do not necessarily resemble one another with respect to form, details, or imagery. According to fellow landscape architect James Corner, <mask>'s work demonstrates "that the knowledge of a place derives more deeply through experience of material, time, and event, than through visuality alone, and that landscape experience is fuller and more profound when it accrues through inhabitation than through the immediacy of the image or the objectification of the new." As an architect, he has been influenced by his upbringing in an agricultural setting and his education at Cornell University during the 1970s—in particular his exposure to Ian McHarg's ground-breaking book Design with Nature.<mask> has been recognized for his ability to successfully integrate new methods of sustainable design and ecological renewal into the experience of the places he designs, making sustainability part of the beauty of a place that educates visitors and raises environmental awareness. Crediting artist Robert Smithson's writings on Frederick Law Olmsted and the "landscape dialectic" as a source of inspiration, <mask>'s landscapes are sometimes completely original explorations of naturalism and the constructed urban landscape (for instance, Teardrop Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park) but he has also completed many sensitive historic landscape restorations including Harvard Yard; Marion Square in Charleston, South Carolina; and several works at Wellesley College. According to landscape theorist Anita Berrizbeitia, in her introduction to a book of essays on the work of MVVA, "His parks and public open spaces are based on the conviction that not only can the power of nature and the power of the man-made coexist, but they are the better for doing so." <mask> approaches his designs in such a way that the spirit of place is at the forefront and the center of the design. To create a space that reflects the desired future for an area and give it a spirit of hope and progress requires a lot of foresight to the desired effect. <mask> designs his projects in a way that reflect the desired future of the area in the spirit of the place they are striving for. His projects often begin with ordinary places that he is able to rejuvenate into a place that cause people to look past what it was and instead look to the future of the park as well as the surrounding city because of the spirit of the place <mask> <mask> has instilled in the space with his adaptive reuse of this post industrial wasteland and his intentional intertwining of it with nature.Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. Founding Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. (MVVA) in 1982, he currently leads the firm with five fellow principals: Laura Solano, Matthew Urbanski, Paul Seck, Gullivar Shepard, and Emily Mueller De Celis. The firm has 100 employees and two offices, in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Brooklyn, New York. MVVA has completed a broad range of landscape design, construction, and restoration projects in both the public and private realms. To date, MVVA has completed over 350 projects, and has cultivated an expertise in sustainability, soil toxicity, and waterfront infrastructure. The firm collaborates frequently with artists, including Maya Lin, Ann Hamilton, Martin Puryear, Mel Bochner, Meg Webster, and Oscar Tuazon. Awards
His practice has won many national awards for their designs, including 19 from the American Society of Landscape Architects.He has a National Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Board certification and is a registered Landscape Architect in twenty different states. In 2002, he was a speaker in the Spotlight on Design Lecture Series at the National Building Museum. In 2003, <mask> served on the selection jury of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition and won the National Design Award for Environmental Design from the Smithsonian Institution's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. In November 2004, <mask> was personally thanked by First Lady Laura Bush for his design for the renovation of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. In 2007, <mask> was asked to present the Rutgers Department of Landscape Architecture Margaret O. Cekada Memorial Lecture. In 2010, he was awarded two major prizes: the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture, from the American Academy of Arts and letters, for contributions to architecture as an art, and the Brendan Gill Prize from the Municipal Arts Society of New York City, which recognized Brooklyn Bridge Park as the work of art that best captured the spirit and energy of New York City.

title: Rutger Velpius

texts:
<mask> (around 1540–1614/15) was a 16th- and 17th-century printer and bookseller. He was the first printer in the city of Mons, and later became printer to the court in Brussels. His career coincided closely with the first decades of the Dutch Revolt

Life

Leuven
Velpius became a bookseller in Leuven in 1564, and in 1565 was licensed as a "sworn bookseller" to the University of Leuven. Around 1567 he married Catherine Waen, daughter of the Scottish expatriate bookseller John Waen. In 1570 Velpius was examined and certified as a printer, his certification specifying that he knew Latin, French and Flemish, and a little bit of Greek. For his work in Leuven he used two printer's marks: a large one with a crenellated tower, an angel of vengeance above it and the figures of Justice and Peace embracing before the gates, with the motto Justitia et pax osculate sunt. Psal.84. (Justice and peace have kissed); and a smaller one showing Justice and Peace kissing with the motto Justitia et pax. In 1578 he was licensed to print the government's decrees. Mons
In 1580 he relocated to Mons, becoming the first printer to work in the city. The local government equipped a printing workshop at the city's expense. To demonstrate his skill to the city magistrates, Velpius printed Libert Houthem's Kakogeitnia seu mala vicina, libellus, vicinos malos velut catalogo recensens (1580). The first work certainly printed in Mons is Le Renart decouvert (1580), an anonymous satire on William of Orange written by Jean Richardot.Although a native speaker of Dutch, during this period of his life Velpius printed almost exclusively in French. In 1966 facsimiles of Kakogeitnia and Le Renart decouvert were printed in Mons as a single volume with the title Les premiers livres imprimés à Mons, and with introductions by Christiane Pierard and Pierre Ruelle. Brussels
In 1585 Velpius relocated again, to Brussels, in the wake of Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma, by whom he was appointed printer to the court. He established his business in a bookshop called "Den gulden Arend" (The Golden Eagle), opposite the Coudenberg palace. Here he designed a new printer's mark, a two-headed eagle charged with a crucifix, and the motto Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege nos (Protect us in the shadow of your wings). In 1586 he obtained citizenship of the city of Brussels. Besides decrees and other official pieces he also published a great many occasional pieces and books in several languages.The Royal Library of Belgium catalogues 170 works published by Velpius between 1585 and 1600. In 1588 and 1589 he printed or reprinted a number of news reports from France. In Brussels his output also reflected the interests of courtiers, with a number of Spanish books, particularly on military and religious themes, as well as news pamphlets about Habsburg military victories in the Low Countries and in Hungary. In 1607 Velpius printed in Spanish Don Quixote, correcting many errors of the first and second edition printed in Madrid in 1605. Unfortunately, these corrections were not included in the third and successive editions elsewhere. In 1594 his daughter, Catherine, married Hubert Anthoon, and from 1598 Velpius brought his son-in-law into the business, leaving it for him to run after his death in 1614 or 1615. In 1617, Anthoon published the Second Part of Don Quixote (first edition in Madrid in 1615); he also published many other novels and plays in Spanish.Select list of publications

Arizona Cardinals
<mask> was originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the seventh round (202nd overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft. He played in 14 games in his rookie season, including one start, and recorded 22 tackles, three passes defensed and a half-sack. He added five special teams tackles.He had five tackles and the first half-sack of his career on a five-yard sack of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. <mask>'s first pro start came against the New York Giants on December 15.

He posted 66 tackles, two interceptions, 10 passes defensed, a sack and two fumble recoveries on the year, while also contributing 11 stops on special teams. He collected a season-high 10 tackles against the San Diego Chargers when he came off bench in first quarter to replace an injured Duane Starks. <mask> went on to start each of the next four games in Starks’ spot.In 16-13 win against the Carolina Panthers on October 6, he recovered a pair of Panthers fumbles - the first Cardinal to do that since Michael Bankston on October 17, 1993. <mask>'s first career interception came against the Dallas Cowboys on October 20 when he picked off a Quincy Carter pass in the end zone during Arizona’s 9-6 win.

He also picked off Quincy Carter, Jon Kitna and Trent Dilfer during the season. His two sacks came against Bulger and Kitna. <mask> played in 13 games in 2004 with ten starts at cornerback, and was inactive for three contests in 2004. On the year, he collected 46 tackles, an interception, nine passes defensed, a sack and a forced fumble.

His only sack of the season came against then-Rams quarterback Chris Chandler.Oakland Raiders
As an unrestricted free agent in 2005, <mask> signed a one-year contract with the Oakland Raiders. The deal included a base salary of $565,000 and a $25,000 signing bonus. It was also heavily based on incentives, which could have allowed <mask> to earn as much as $1.4 million. <mask> played in all 16 games during his lone season with the Raiders, opening three games at free safety and ten contests as the nickel cornerback behind Charles Woodson and Nnamdi Asomugha. He recorded 89 tackles, an interception and five passes defensed on the year, while also tallying three special teams stops. His only interception of the year came against the Cleveland Browns on December 18 when he snared a Charlie Frye pass. Miami Dolphins

The move reunited him with then-Dolphins head coach Nick Saban, who was the head coach at Michigan State during <mask>'s first two seasons with the Spartans. Thanks in part to the contract holdout of rookie defensive back Jason Allen, <mask> was able to win the starting free safety job before the regular season began. He went on to start all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2006 and finished third on the team (behind linebackers Zach Thomas and Channing Crowder) with 83 tackles. <mask> also had two interceptions, which tied him with Jason Taylor for the team lead, and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown. <mask> picked off Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman during the season (both in wins by the Dolphins). He also returned a Chester Taylor fumble forced by Matt Roth 48 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of a 24-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings.During training camp, <mask> initially lost his job to recently signed free agent Chris Crocker. Eventually, though the secondary was exposed during the first two weeks particularly in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, giving up pass plays of 50 or more yards. In Week 3, <mask> got the free safety job once again, and it paid huge dividends as the secondary play became more solid and it also helped Miami earn its first victory of the season against the Patriots. <mask> <mask> also proved to be solid in run support, finishing with 74 tackles. He nabbed three interceptions. Denver Broncos
On February 27, 2009, <mask> signed a four-year, $10 million contract with the Denver Broncos. The contract included $3 million guaranteed.<mask> played in Denver for two seasons before being released on July 30, 2011.

title: Humphry Sandwith

texts:
<mask> (1822 – 16 May 1881) was an English army physician, known also as a writer and activist. Early life
Born at Bridlington, Yorkshire, he was eldest son of <mask> (1792–1874), a surgeon who became a physician in Kingston upon Hull; his mother was a daughter of Isaac Ward of Bridlington. After some schooling, where he learnt little, <mask> was apprenticed at age 16 to his uncle <mask> (1789–1867), another medical man, at Beverley. <mask> left Beverley in 1843, for the medical school at Hull, and spent a few months at Lille to learn French. He then entered University College, London, and in the autumn of 1846 he passed the examinations of London University and the Royal College of Surgeons, and was qualified to practise. He was appointed house surgeon to the Hull Infirmary in 1847, but poor health made him resign. In March 1849 <mask> travelled to Constantinople with letters of introduction to Sir Stratford Canning, the English ambassador.In August he accompanied Canning's protégé, Austen Henry Layard, in his second archæological expedition to Nineveh, and spent nearly two years in Mesopotamia. Fever obliged him to return to Constantinople in September 1851. In 1853 he was appointed correspondent of The Times, but John Thadeus Delane complained that he looked at the Eastern question from the Turkish point of view. Crimean War and aftermath
When the Crimean War broke out, <mask> served with Omar Pasha in 1853 in the River Danube campaign. He was then engaged as staff surgeon and interpreter by William Ferguson Beatson, who was raising a corps of Bashi-Bazouks. Beatson and <mask> went by steamer to Varna to join forces with Omar. <mask> served with this corps on the Danube in July and August 1854.It was not in combat, but there was much sickness, and <mask> had to eke out his medical stores by gathering herbs and leeches. Finding that the corps was to be soon disbanded, he offered his services to William Fenwick Williams, who was going to Armenia as British Commissioner with the Turkish army. They were accepted, and on 10 September he left Constantinople for Erzerum. In February 1855 Williams, now a lieutenant-general in the Turkish army, appointed <mask> inspector-general of hospitals, placing him at the head of the medical staff. Meanwhile, Colonel Henry Atwell Lake was fortifying Kars, and in the beginning of June, when the siege was imminent, Williams and his staff took up their quarters there. During the Siege of Kars, which lasted till the end of November, <mask> had to contend with cholera and starvation; and after the assault of 29 September he had wounded men, both Turkish and Russian, on his hands. He had to rely mainly on horseflesh broth for his patients.When Kars surrendered, and Williams and his staff went to Russia as prisoners, <mask> was set free by General Nikolay Muravyov, in recognition of his treatment of Russian prisoners. He made his way over the Armenian Highlands to Constantinople, and on 9 January 1856 he arrived in London. He was lionised, and told the story of the siege to Queen Victoria and her ministers. He was made C.B., and Oxford gave him the degree of D.C.L. In August he went with Lord Granville to Moscow for the coronation of the czar, and was presented with the Russian order of St. Stanislaus. He also received the cross of the French Legion of Honour. Governor of Mauritius
Changing career, in February 1857 <mask> was appointed colonial secretary in Mauritius, and he spent two years there.He had an enquiry from Richard Owen concerning dodo bones, but could not supply any. He did send Owen an aye-aye, pickled in alcohol, that he had brought from Madagascar. He came home on leave in September 1859, and in the following spring he resigned, in hope that he would shortly get another post. Balkan interests
In 1864 <mask> paid a visit to Serbia and Bulgaria, and in a letter to The Spectator he predicted that "the next Christian massacre will probably be in Bulgaria". In 1872 he was invited by the municipality of Belgrade to attend the coronation of Milan I of Serbia, and became involved in Serbian politics. When Serbia started the Serbian–Ottoman War in 1876, he went to Belgrade, and worked for the relief of the wounded and the refugees. With William Mure, he visited the Serbian forces on the Drina.Jovan Ristić wished to entrust a peace mission to <mask>, but it came to nothing. He published articles in the British Quarterly Review. Pleading the Serbian cause, <mask> returned to England at the beginning of 1877. He lectured and spoke on behalf of the Serbian refugees. He took back £7,000 for them in March; but fell ill, and returned home. He was awarded Order of the Cross of Takovo. In October 1877 <mask> went to Bucharest for three months, as agent for the England-Russian Sick and Wounded Society, a Red Cross organisation of the Russo-Ottoman War.With him were Leslie Maturin and four other British surgeons. He set up a hospice at Putineiu. During the period he argued against British support for Turkey against Russia. In politics
<mask> met Richard Cobden in 1856, at the hydro of Sudbrook Park, Petersham. He was drawn into Cobdenite politics, advising on the Near East. A reformer and member of the Jamaica committee, in 1868 he tried unsuccessfully to enter parliament for . When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, he went to France on behalf of the National Aid Society.But he was dissatisfied with the actions of the committee, and did not work with them long. <mask> combined with Howard Evans and Frederick Maxse to lobby the Land Tenure Reform Association (LTRA) in 1876. He regarded the Land Reform pamphlet as the only clear legacy of his involvement with the Cobdenites. He became secretary of the LTRA, but the group was dormant. Final years
In his last years <mask> concentrated on agitating for an improved water supply for London. In 1880 the state of his wife's health led the couple to winter at Davos, but they were both ill; in the spring he became worse. He died at Paris on 16 May 1881, and was buried at Passy.A Memoir was written by <mask> Ward, <mask>'s nephew; it was compiled from an autobiography. Works
<mask>'s major writings were:

 A Narrative of the Siege of Kars, and of the Six Months' Resistance of the Turkish Garrison, under General Williams, to the Russian Army; together with a Narrative of Travels and Adventures in Armenia and Lazistan, with Remarks on the present State of Turkey, London, 1856. His narrative was published by the end of the month of <mask>'s return to London, was well reviewed in The Times by Delane, and sold well. The Hekim-Bashi; or the Adventures of Giuseppe Antonelli, a Doctor in the Turkish Service, 2 vols. London, 1864. Under the guise of a novel, this work was an attack on Ottoman misrule. Preface to Notes on the South Slavonic Countries in Austria and Turkey in Europe, London, 1865.The work was by Georgina Mackenzie and Adeline Irby. The Land and Landlordism (1873)

They had five children, one of whom, together with Lucy, died in 1882. The only son of the marriage, <mask> of the 8th Hussars, was a historian of the <mask> family. One of the daughters, Catherine Sinclair married Richard Von Dechend, son of Hermann von Dechend. Another daughter Gladys, married Fleming Mant <mask>, the tropical medicine authority. Notes

 radio personality Alan Jones, and conservative governments, including the United States' Bush administration. <mask>'s father, <mask>, was an athlete who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. In 1930, he set an Australian national record for the 100 yards, which was not broken until 1953. He would have been selected for the 1932 Olympics but left sport to become a Catholic priest. During World War II, <mask>'s mother was engaged to another man, who was a Catholic but she was not.She took instruction in the Catholic faith, and Father <mask> was assigned to her. They fell in love, he left the priesthood, and they married. They had two sons, <mask> and Peter. <mask> died in 1951. <mask> has been married twice; to Kerri (two children) and Morag (one child). Early career
<mask> began his career as a cadet journalist with the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) in 1963, aged 17. His file reports as an ABC war correspondent in Vietnam earned him great admiration within the industry and a promotion to chief of the ABC's news bureau in Jakarta, Indonesia.Garnering further accolades on his return with the pioneering 1970s ABC-TV current affairs program This Day Tonight, he moved to his first radio program as host at Sydney commercial station 2GB in the early 1980s, this is where "Friday News Review" was born. Carlton dominated morning radio for a number of years until Alan Jones was moved into the breakfast slot at 2UE in March 1988, and Carlton's ratings started to falter. In the early 1990s he was a presenter for London's LBC Newstalk 97.3FM, then under Australian ownership. At first he presented the drivetime programme, but it was as presenter of The Morning Report breakfast programme that he came to prominence, winning a prestigious Sony Radio Academy Award. This programme helped to change the station's financial fortunes. He later wrote a novel set at a London talk radio station called Off the Air, which became a best-seller in Australia in the late 1990s. Talk show host
In 1994, Carlton returned to Sydney to host a morning program on music station Mix 106.5.He then moved to the drive slot at 702 ABC Sydney. Building a reasonable following and establishing a format that he has largely retained in the years since, he was then poached by commercial broadcaster 2UE. Carlton hosted 2UE's drivetime (3pm-6pm) program for a number of years, before moving to the breakfast timeslot (5:30 am – 9 am). In a move to improve ratings, 2UE management teamed Carlton with media personality, fellow Sydney Morning Herald columnist and longtime friend of Carlton's, Peter FitzSimons on the breakfast show in 2006. The ratings for the show gradually improved, however in mid-2007 they remained well behind the top two AM talk stations for the breakfast period. Peter FitzSimons left the show at the end of 2007, replaced by Sandy Aloisi from 2008. Carlton's former workmate, now rival, Alan Jones continued to dominate Sydney radio talkback.A long-running feud with fellow 2UE broadcaster Stan Zemanek, noted for his conservative views, had become a feature of Carlton's recent career prior to Zemanek's death in mid-2007. On 17 July 2007, Carlton made comments regarding his late rival. Responding to a listener's question as to why he wouldn't attend Zemanek's funeral, Carlton replied that it would be "an act of sheer hypocrisy ... I loathed him." He continued: "I'd only go to check that he was actually dead." Carlton later apologised for the remarks, which had been the subject of criticism from fellow radio presenters and 2UE staff. A highly popular feature of Carlton's long-running radio program (and indeed his previous radio career before he joined 2UE), was the weekly political satire segment, Friday News Review.The segment was well known for its fast-paced sketches, topical skewering of high-profile politicians, celebrities and sportspeople across the nation and around the world, and its extremely accurate voice-impersonations of the leading characters. Most of the characters in the segment not portrayed by <mask> were portrayed by Australian actor and television personality Josh Zepps. Friday News Review was one of the last political satire programs on mainstream commercial media in Australia. On 18 September 2009, Carlton retired from his long-running 2UE Breakfast show after over 26 years on Australian morning radio citing an unwillingness to continue with early morning hours and a desire to spend more time with his family and newborn son. Newspaper columnist
<mask> was a columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald, initially being sacked from the position on 29 August 2008, for refusing to write his column during a strike by journalists at Fairfax Media. After a lengthy campaign by Herald readers and the appointment of a new editor he was invited to rejoin the newspaper in 2009. He resigned from the paper when disciplinary action was taken against him by the Sydney Morning Herald for using offensive language in several responses to emails received from readers after criticism in his column of Israel's 2014 Gaza offensive.Author

title: Máel Sechnaill mac Máele Ruanaid

texts:
<mask> mac <mask> (Modern Irish: Maolsheachlann Mac Maolruanaidh), also known as <mask>, anglicised as Malachy MacMulrooney (died 27 November 862) was High King of Ireland. The Annals of Ulster use the Old Irish title rí hÉrenn uile, that is "king of all Ireland", when reporting his death, distinguishing <mask> from the usual Kings of Tara who are only called High Kings of Ireland in late sources such as the Annals of the Four Masters or Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn. According to the "Grand History of the Celts", a traditional book of facts and folklore, <mask> was the husband of Mael Muire, the granddaughter of the legendary Alpin, a 9th-century king of Dalriada. Background
<mask> was son of <mask>a and grandson of Donnchad Midi mac Domnaill of Clann Cholmáin, who was King of Tara from around 778 to 797. Clann Cholmáin was a sept of the Uí Néill which ruled as Kings of Mide in east central Ireland. While the southern Uí Néill had been dominated by the Síl nÁedo Sláine Kings of Brega in the 7th and early 8th centuries, the Clann Cholmáin were dominant from the time of <mask>'s great-grandfather Domnall Midi. The Kingship of Tara, a largely symbolic title, alternated between Clann Cholmáin as representatives of the southern Uí Néill and the Cenél nEógain as representatives of the northern Uí Néill.<mask> <mask> became king of Mide and head of Clann Cholmáin after killing his brother Flann in 845, and king of Tara in 846 on the death of Niall Caille mac Áeda of the Cenél nEógain, who drowned in the Callan River close to Armagh. He had appeared in the Irish annals some years earlier, being noticed in 839, and again 841 as a result of fighting among the chiefs of Clann Cholmáin when he killed his cousin Diarmait, son of Conchobar mac Donnchada, when Diarmait had tried to depose <mask> <mask>'s father as king of Mide. Prior to Máel <mask>'s coming to power, the southern Uí Néill had been disunited, and until Niall Caille defeated Feidlimid mac Crimthainn, king of Munster, at Mag nÓchtair (County Kildare) in 841, the midlands had been repeatedly ravaged by the Munstermen. At the same time, Ireland was a target for Viking raids, although these appear to have been of minor significance. Niall Caille apparently inflicted a heavy defeat on the Norsemen in 845 at Mag Itha shortly before Máel Sechnaill became king of Mide. Late in 845 the Norse chieftain Thorgest or Turgesius, who had emulated Feidlimid mac Crimthainn by attacking Clonmacnoise and Clonfert, was captured by <mask> <mask>, and drowned in Lough Owel. King of All Ireland

<mask> <mask>'s reign was portrayed in later sources as being frequently a matter of war with the Vikings and Norse-Gaels, thanks largely to works such as the Cogadh Gaedhil re Gallaibh, a panegyric written for Muircheartach Ua Briain, great-grandson of Brian Boru.The annals tell of frequent battles between Máel Sechnaill and the Vikings, both when they were acting on their own and as allies to Cináed <mask>aing or Cerball mac Dúnlainge. But he was also on occasions allied to the Norse-Gaels. In 856 "[g]reat warfare between the heathens [the Norse or Danes] and Máel Sechnaill with the Norse-Irish" is reported by the Annals of Ulster. Máel <mask>'s real achievements were in Ulster and Munster. Shortly after killing Cináed with the aid of Tigernach mac Fócartai, Máel Sechnaill met with the king of Ulster, Matudán mac Muiredaig, and the chief cleric of Ulster, Diarmait, Abbot of Armagh. Here Máel <mask> was acknowledged as High King by the Ulstermen. This did not end strife between the Uí Néill and the kings of Ulster as Armagh was raided by Máel Sechnaill in 852.However, Ulster provided troops for Máel <mask>, whose army is called "the men of Ireland" in 858. The annals record expeditions to Munster to obtain tribute and hostages in 854, 856 and in 858, when his army killed several kings, wasted the land and marched south to the sea. Máel <mask>'s attempts to obtain the submission to the Munster kings of the Eóganachta were obstructed by the ambitious king of Osraige in Leinster, Cerball mac Dúnlainge. Cerball, known to Icelanders' sagas as Kjarvalr Írakonungr, raided Munster and obtained allies and mercenaries from among the Norse and Norse-Gaels of southern Ireland. The Fragmentary Annals of Ireland, a combination of annals and history written in the 11th century for Donnchad mac Gilla Pátraic king of Osraige and Leinster, say that the expedition of 854 was led by Cerball on Máel <mask>'s orders, although <mask> <mask> himself appears also to have raided into Munster that year. It is reported that Cerball joined forces with Ivarr, a king of the "Dark foreigners": in 859, they challenged the power of Máel <mask> mac Máele Ruanaid. The Annals of Innisfallen are alone in reporting an expedition by Cerball with allies from Munster against Máel Sechnaill in 859, which is said to have reached as far north as Armagh.The Annals of Ulster, however, state that Cerball entered Mide with a great army, supported by Norse allies, Amlaíb and Ivar. A general assembly of kings and clerics in 859 at Rahugh in County Westmeath settled matters by detaching Osraige from Munster. Máel Gualae mac Donngaile of Munster and Cerball both consented to the change which was little loss to the Eóganachta who had rarely exercised any control over Osraige. Máel <mask>'s successes raised more opposition from his Uí Néill kinsmen than from subject kings or the Norse and Norse-Gaels, and the latter part of his reign was spent in conflict with the northern Uí Neill, led by Áed Findliath, son of Niall Caille. In 860 <mask> <mask> led an army raised from Munster, Leinster and Connacht against the northern Uí Néill. The annals say that Áed Findliath and Flann mac Conaing, brother of Cináed, led a night attack on Máel <mask>'s camp near Armagh which was beaten off with heavy loss to Áed and Flann. Further fighting between Áed and Máel Sechnaill is reported in 861, and again in 862.<mask> <mask> died peacefully on 27 November 862. His obituary in the Annals of Ulster states:<mask> <mask> son of <mask> <mask>, son of Domnall, son of Murchad of Mide, son of Diarmait the Harsh, son of Airmedach the One-eyed, son of Conall of the Sweet Voice, son of Suibne, son of Colmán the great, son of Diarmait the red, son of Fergus Wrymouth, king of all Ireland, died on the third feria, the second of the Kalends of December, in the 16th year of his reign. The Fragmentary Annals quote a lament for <mask> Sechnaill:There is much sorrow everywhere;there is a great misfortune among the Irish.Red wine has been spilled down the valley;the only King of Ireland has been slain. <mask> <mask>'s achievements did not outlast him, and Áed Finnliath was unable to maintain peace within the Uí Néill, nor to receive submission for Munster. Áed's incessant warfare with the Norse and Norse-Gaels, while militarily successful, produced unexpected consequences in the long term for the position of the northern Uí Néill. Power and influence in the 10th and 11th centuries rested increasingly with kings who, like Máel Sechnaill, could exploit the wealth of new trading towns and the forces of the Norse and the Norse-Gaels. <mask> <mask>'s son Flann Sinna would later be King of Mide, High King of All Ireland.Notes

texts:
<mask> is an Anishinaabe comedian, podcaster and writer from the Couchiching First Nation. <mask> was born in Fort Frances, Ontario, the oldest of three siblings. <mask> was the first in his family to graduate from high school. He attended the University of Minnesota on a full hockey scholarship and graduated from the Second City Training Center. Early life
In his September 20, 2018 The Walrus Talks Success presentation in  the Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto, <mask> said that he was the oldest of four children and that he was the first person in his family to graduate from high school. <mask> completed his degree in theatre at the University of Minnesota. He then completed a two-year program at the Second City Conservatory in Toronto, Ontario, with a full scholarship granted by the Toronto Theatre Alliance.Career
By 2008, <mask> had begun his standup comedy routines. In May 2010, his live performance of Welcome To Turtle Island Too was filmed in St. Albert, Alberta for a CBC television comedy special. According to CBC, in 2012, <mask> became the first indigenous Canadian to record an hour-long CBC TV comedy special, UnReserved. In the same year he was included in the New Faces of the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal. He has worked in both Canada and the United States as a comedian. His YouTube channel describes his comedic personae, Clarence Two Toes, as "a Half Ojibway-Half Metis guy that struggles everyday on whether to listen to the 'brown guy' or the 'not quite brown guy' that lives in his head". In February 2015, CBC Radio 1 national aired an hour-long comedy special of Red Man Laughing , that had been recorded live in 2014 in Edmonton, Alberta.Guests on the show included author Joseph Boyden. For his 2017 documentary entitled Colonization Road, which aired as an episode of CBC Television's Firsthand series, in response to the 150th anniversary of Canada, <mask> visited communities in Ontario to "gain insight into colonization and reconciliation". <mask> called the network of roads crucial to Canada's nation-building and constructed by early settlers, "colonization roads". He drew attention to the way in which the process of road building had ignored the concerns of the indigenous people. The program won the Yorkton Film Festival's Golden Sheaf Award for Best Documentary – Historical/Biography, and was nominated for a 2018 Canadian Screen Award. In June 2019, CBC Comedy included <mask> on their list of "15 Canadian comedians to watch in 2019". Podcasts

<mask>, who began podcasting in 2008, founded Indian & Cowboy, an indigenous multimedia network in October 2014.In its first year, he hosted seven podcasts, including Metis in Space,' featuring two Metis women discussing sci-fi; Stories from the Land featuring stories from indigenous communities; The Henceforward featuring Eve Tuck and Sefanit Habtom discussing colonialism and its effects on indigenous and black people; and The Cuts featuring the indigenous filmmaker Sterlin Harjo. In 2016, <mask> expanded his projects into Makoons Media, a multimedia company that aims to create content by and for indigenous people worldwide. A 2017 article in Financial Post said that <mask> was "representative of an important trend in Canada". <mask> relaunched Indian & Cowboy as 'Member Supported Indigenous Media Network' on July 1, 2017, featuring ten podcasts and other web content—supported by members. By 2017, while audiences for <mask> and other indigenous media was growing, there was a lack of advertising revenue. The article said that <mask>'s Indian & Cowboy Podcast Network was popular but producing his shows remained financially challenging. His 40-minute podcast, Red Man Laughing is his most popular podcast, with a listening audience of about 10,000 by 2017.In it he uses humor to tackle such heavy subjects as settler colonialism and racism, including Season 5, which was devoted entirely to the topic of Canadian reconciliation. <mask> did an hour-long comedy special called Reconcili-Nation that toured in 2015. In her 2017 book entitled As We Have Always Done: Indigenous Freedom through Radical Resistance, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson cited an episode in <mask>'s podcast series. She described how she had been reminded of his show as she drove home from an interview with Naomi Klein about Klein's book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate where Klein had focused on "extractivism". Simpson recalled the words of Nipissing elders on Red Man Laughing describing how the word creation—a source of respect—was transformed into resources to be exploited, changing the people into capitalists "even with our fishing and hunting" and changing the education into a process to "move our people into the middle class, away from Nishnaabewin". In 2017, CBC aired Red Man Laughing's podcast on reconciliation in a series of podcasts for Canada 150. <mask> went on tour for his ninth season early in 2020 and focused on the topics of "laughter as medicine" and using comedy to "deconstruct stereotypes".In 2016, <mask> began to co-host Canadaland's political show, The Commons. In response to a youth suicide prevention summit held in Thunder Bay in 2014 where <mask> learned that Thunder Bay was one of the "most dangerous places in the world" for the indigenous youth who come there to attend high school from isolated northern communities, <mask> proposed a series on Thunder Bay to Jesse Brown (journalist), Canadaland founder. The series was intended to resemble the American National Public Radio (NPR) "longform storytelling model". They launched a fundraiser and surpassed their goal of about C$27,800 a month from supporters. <mask> spent six months interviewing people in Thunder Bay for the story. The first episode of the five part series, Thunder Bay, " There Is A Town In North Ontario" was aired on October 22, 2018. Thunder Bay was informed in part by Toronto Star reporter Tanya Talaga's award-winning book  Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death and Hard Truths in a Northern City, which investigated the deaths of seven indigenous youths in Thunder Bay, Ontario.According to a Canadian Press article, by July 2019, <mask>, Jesse Brown, and Northwood Entertainment's Miranda de Pencier were working together to develop the Thunder Bay podcast into a television drama series.

By that time, he had 20,000 listeners to his Red Man Laughing podcasts, and he decided to use his platform to support Idle No More—a grassroots movement for indigenous rights founded in December 2012 by three First Nations women and one non-Native ally,  In December 2012, <mask> was a guest on Revolutions Per Minute—a music platform that supports indigenous musicians—<mask> described the role of the round dances that had surfaced in numerous public spaces in Canada and the United States in support of the protest. In a 2013 podcast shortly after the Idle No More movement had been launched, <mask> said that, for Anishinaabe, everything you do is political. A 2015 article in the Canadian Journal of Communication described <mask> as a powerful cultural influencer.Researchers at the University of British Columbia who analyzed Twitter discussions of the Idle No More movement found that, at its peak—in December 2012 and January 2013—<mask> was the tenth most-retweeted celebrity. Since 2015 he has been an occasional columnist for Vice magazine, writing about Canadian-First Nations politics. On May 26, 2017, as Canada prepared for its sesquicentennial, <mask>'s series, entitled 2 Steps to Decolonizing Canada, aired on CBC Radio' Day 6. In it, <mask> charted a "course for the next 150 years" to avoid the mistakes of the previous 150 years in terms of Canada's relationship to indigenous people. The show received the Sam Ross award for Opinion and Commentary at the 2018 RTDNA awards. He also refused to attend any of the celebrations surrounding the 150th anniversary, according to the non-fiction book 150 Years of Canada: Grappling with Diversity since 1867. In a June 7, 2019 CBC radio interview, <mask> discussed the June 3 release of the final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and the disappointing response to the report by the media.In June 2020, CBC recommended <mask>'s "Colonization Road", as one of ten documentaries by indigenous "activists" who are "advocating for change."

Later, Kuzmichev convinced his partners to diversify into the export business. Thus in 1998 Alfa Eco was founded. This venture would become the basis of Alfa Group Consortium. (In 2005, Alfa Eco was rebranded as A1). Alfa Group
Alfa Group’s portfolio includes the largest commercial bank in Russia, Alfa-Bank, (with affiliates in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus and the Netherlands/Amsterdam Trade Bank); international telecom company VimpelCom (the sixth largest mobile network operator in the world by subscribers as of April, 2012); as well as holding shares in Turkish telecommunications company Turkcell.Until April 2012, Alfa Group owned 25 percent of Russian cell phone operator MegaFon; it sold its share for $5.2 billion. Alfa also has stakes in Russian retailer X5 Retail Group, Rosvodokanal Group; and insurance company, Alfa-Strakhovanie Group. Kuzmichev owns over 18 percent of the consortium’s joint assets and is a member of the board of directors of Alfa Finance Holdings. The Group’s major transactions include TNK oil company privatization, which later became a part of TNK-BP venture, Russia’s third-largest oil producer. In March 2013 Alfa Group and its joint partners AAR Consortium sold 50 percent of TNK-BP to Russian oil company Rosneft. Location of operations
Kuzmichev has worked in Europe, the former Soviet Union republics, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran and Iraq. Speaking to Russian newspaper Vedomosti in 2002 following the reduction of Russian oil sales to the EU, he claimed market opportunities had been reduced for independent traders due to an increasingly globalised business in raw materials such as oil, metals and food stuffs.Russian export blend crude oil
Kuzmichev is responsible for overseeing Alfa Group’s international trading operations. He has criticised the existing methods of pricing of the Russian Export Blend Crude Oil (REBC) and became a vocal proponent of detachment of its price from BFOE (Brent, Forties, Oseberg, Ekofisk). Kuzmichev has proposed that REBCO should be traded on an internationally recognised commodity exchange to achieve fair and transparent pricing. Through the continued efforts of Kuzmichev, together with Expertica Group, a deliverable futures contract for REBCO was launched on NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange, now part of the CME Group) in 2006, followed by a financially settled futures contract in 2008. Sinking of The Prestige
Crown Resources, a European oil and commodity trading arm of Alfa Group, of which Kuzmichev is chairman, was the owner of the oil cargo on The Prestige vessel, which sank near the coast of Galicia, Spain in 2002. The case concerning The Prestige centred on the negligence of the vessel’s owner and was completed in July 2013. No accusations or financial claims were brought against Crown Resources.LetterOne Group
Mr Kuzmichev is one of the original founders of the LetterOne Group. The LetterOne Group (LetterOne) is an international investment business based in Luxembourg. Its investments are focused on the telecoms, technology and energy sectors through its two main business units, L1 Energy and L1 Technology. Despite recently being required by the Government to sell their North Sea oil and gas fields, LetterOne have reportedly been told in a letter from a senior UK official that this 'is not a judgement on the suitability of LetterOne’s owners to control these or any other assets in the UK. The Babylon Project
The Babylon Project was founded by Kuzmichov in 2002. It is aimed at establishing an international foundation to preserve the ancient treasures of Iraq. Kuzmichev asked Russia, the U.S. and other countries to join in a cultural initiative to safeguard the ruins of Babylon, near the town of Hillah, as well as participate in restoration of the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad, which suffered heavy looting in 2003.Due to ongoing unrest in Iraq, the project is currently frozen. Charity Work
Mr Kuzmichev’s wife, Svetlana <mask>-Uspenskaya, is founder and director of Project Perpetual – a group which harnesses the contributions of the world’s leading contemporary artists and global influencers to raise funds and facilitate advocacy for children in peril. Mr Kuzmichev’s role in the charity was to be part of the lead sponsorship of the 2013 Global Leadership Awards Dinner at the United Nations. The project is partnered with the United Nations Foundation
