Most of them use the 5–3–2 formation with fast wing-backs. <mask> has been criticized for deploying a "pyrotechnic" style with offensive and direct game that sometimes leaves the defense vulnerable. He transferred over the formation from Club América to national level when he was made Mexico's manager.Managerial statistics

They also completed two get-ahead tasks. <mask> wore an all-white suit for the spacewalk. Their first primary task was the camera assembly installation on the Port 1 Truss. The two spacewalkers spent about 2 hours, 10 minutes on the installation. In order to have daylight for the Floating Potential Probe (FPP) jettison, they moved on to the retrieval of a failed remote joint motor controller.Once it was completed, the pair with MacArthur in the lead then moved up the P6 truss to the FPP. The dysfunctional FPP had been designed to measure the space station's electrical potential and compare it to the surrounding plasma. <mask> and McArthur released and stowed a grounding wire, then released the FPP housing from its stanchion. They checked its condition and McArthur carefully jettisoned the FPP. The FFP removal and jettisoning took an hour to complete. The two spacewalkers next removed and replaced a remote power controller module on the mobile transporter.

They also retrieved experiments and inspected and photographed parts of the station's exterior. The two spacewalkers also jettisoned an old Russian Orlan spacesuit equipped with a radio for broadcasts to students around the world. The suit, dubbed SuitSat-1 had reached the end of its operational life for spacewalks in August 2004. It was outfitted by the crew with three batteries, internal sensors and a radio transmitter for this experiment.The SuitSat-1 had recorded greetings in six languages to ham radio operators for about two orbits of the Earth before it stopped transmitting The suit was expected to enter the atmosphere and burn up in a few weeks after the spacewalk. The spacewalk ended when the two re-entered the Pirs airlock and closed its hatch at 11:27 p.m. EST. The spacewalk lasted 5 hours and 43 minutes. References

title: Gale Cincotta

texts:
<mask> (December 28, 1929 – August 15, 2001),  a community activist from the Austin neighborhood of Chicago, led the national fight for the US federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) of 1975 and the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977. The CRA requires banks and savings and loans to offer credit throughout their entire market areas and prohibits them from targeting only wealthier neighborhoods with their lending and services, a practice known as redlining. She was a co-founder with Shel Trapp of the National People's Action in Chicago, a coalition of some 300 community organizations throughout the United States, and served as its executive director and chairperson from 1973 until her death in 2001. <mask> was born Aglaia Angelos on December 28, 1929 in Chicago, Illinois, an only child. Her father was Greek and her mother was Latvian, and they ran Greek restaurants. Her parents were Socialists, and Cincotta grew up around political talk in her father's restaurant. She grew up in Garfield Park, and stayed on Chicago's West Side.In school, although she was punished for it, Cincotta described herself as ethnically American. Cincotta left school after tenth grade, and married a gas station owner. At age 16, she moved to Austin, Chicago with her new husband, <mask>. Cincotta had her first child at seventeen, and had six sons total. In 1952, Cincotta made the decision to send her children to Chicago Public Schools, and as they matriculated, she became increasingly displeased with the quality of their education. Her sons were not learning to read, classrooms were overcrowded, and textbooks were worn and outdated. Cincotta learned that the school system was spending $250 per student per year in Austin, compared with $650 per student in other schools.She joined the Parent-Teacher Association to work to improve conditions in the school and in the city. Activism
In Austin, Chicago in the 1960s, real estate agents, colloquially called "panic peddlers," encouraged white homeowners to sell before their property values fell, or before banks stopped lending to homeowners in the area, a practice called redlining. Cincotta became aware that the quality of the schools was tied to the real estate values in the area. Her activism branched from direct involvement with her children's schools to local movements for fairer financial practices. She led protests against unfair landlords and saw results. Through her community organizing work in the mid-1960s, Cincotta met with community organizers, including Shel Trapp, who would become her partner in activism. <mask> and Trapp founded the Organization for a Better Austin (OBA), and Cincotta served as various committee chairs before serving as president of OBA for two years.In 1972, <mask>, Trapp, and Anne-Marie Douglas founded the National Training and Information Center (NTIC), and laid the foundations of National People's Action (NPA). Also in the early 1970s, Cincotta took a position with the Metropolitan Area Housing Alliance. This job allowed Cincotta to support her family after her husband died in 1976. Cincotta became known for her community organizing style. As the director of NPA, in addition to using formal channels of communication to reach politicians and bureaucrats, she organized "hits." "Hits" were confrontational protests outside of the offices, headquarters, and sometimes private residences of those in conflict with NPA. According to a statement by the NTIC, "At protests, Ms. Cincotta would alternately schmooze and threaten her targets, until they conceded the meetings she demanded."NPA led the national push for the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), which Cincotta and Trapp helped draft. According to Senator William Proxmire, HMDA "would never have become a law but for the research and local organizing activity undertaken by NPA." The culmination of Cincotta's activism was the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977. Through her roles with the NTIC and NPA, Cincotta pushed for the passage of the CRA, and earned the appellation "Mother of the CRA." In 1977, President Jimmy Carter appointed Cincotta to the National Commission on Neighborhoods. In the late 1980s, she served on Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp's National Commission on Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing. Of Cincotta, Kemp said she was "one of the most substantive and knowledgeable leaders in low- and moderate-income housing that I have met in the country."In 1994, Cincotta became a member of Fannie Mae's Housing Impact Advisory Council, and in Chicago, she was on the Community Investment Advisory Council of the Federal Home Loan Bank. Cincotta is well known for her flamboyant activism. In 1970, to protest inadequate pest control in Austin, Cincotta led a group of 100 protesters to nail a rat to the ward alderman's office door. In 1980, Cincotta was responsible for placing Saturday Night Live's Land Shark above the entrance to the Federal Reserve Bank (to imply the bankers were loan sharks), and red tape strung around the building (to symbolize redlining). This move prompted the bank chairman Paul Volcker to meet with Cincotta. DePaul University Special Collections and Archives holds a collection of notes, research, and publications about <mask>a. The collection was created by Michael Westgate and Ann Vick-Westgate while writing Gale Force: <mask>, the Battles for Disclosure and Community Investment, about <mask> and her activism in Chicago.Awards
In 1985, Cincotta received the Chicago Commission on Human Rights Award, and Cincotta was named one of the Ms. Foundation Women of the Year. Cincotta also won the first Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago Neighborhood Partnership Award. References

title: Chor Boogie

texts:
<mask> (born Jason Lamar Hailey ) is an American spray paint artist based in San Francisco, California. Biography
<mask> was born Jason Lamar Hailey in Oceanside, California in 1979. He was introduced to art in general at the age of five by a teacher in grade school, after which he decided he wanted to be an artist when he grew up. He first used spray paint at age 10, chose the name "Chore" for himself at age 11 (later dropped the "e") to describe his enjoyment of art from a professional standpoint. He did not receive formal art training, because spray paint was discouraged as art. He later began to volunteer as the director of mural projects for Writers Block, a San Diego group that created art with high school students. He curated shows at the San Diego Museum of Art and the city's children's museum.In October 2010 Chor <mask>'s The Eyes of the Berlin Wall sold for 500,000 euro, making history for the street art genre. The story was first published on Curbs & Stoops by artist/curator Jeffrey Peña who wrote: "The piece is important as a social monument. Chor <mask>'s canon for making "The Eyes of the Berlin Wall" is comparable to the "eyes on the street" theories propagated by urbanist and writer Jane Jacobs. 'The buildings on a street equipped to handle strangers and to insure the safety of both residents and strangers, must be oriented to the street. They cannot turn their backs or blank sides on it and leave it blind,' writes Jacobs in 'The Death and Life of Great American Cities.' It is also important as a comparison of the value of art. That is, Chor's piece costed half the price of the price for the entire wall restoration in 2009, one million euro.It introduces the beautiful idea that in our social order, art is above preservation." <mask> <mask> speaks publicly about his spiritual transformation with the sacred iboga medicine and the Missoko Bwiti tradition in Gabon, Africa, the homeland of his ancestors. He studies the traditional ways of the Bwiti and applies them to contemporary Western urban culture and his creative process, beginning with his Love Visions series in 2014. Chor's first iboga inspired painting, The Love Dance is featured on the book cover to HEART MEDICINE, a true love story written by his wife, Elizabeth Bast, that details their radical healing journey. Works and Style

Primarily an autodidact, Chor <mask> lists as influences Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Klimt, Van Gogh, and Salvador Dalí, along with early spray paint mentors from the Hip hop culture PHASE 2, Vulcan, and Riff 170. <mask> <mask> paints exclusively with spray paint, in sizes ranging from miniatures (such as a 2010 range of 2-by-2-inch "boogie birds") to building-sized murals. He refers to his colorful style and its intended spiritual and emotional impact on viewers as "color therapy" and THE ART OF MODERN HIEROGLYPHICS.His first major commission was a rock wall he painted in his early teens for a series of motivational speeches by Anthony Robbins. He since had public art projects commissioned in San Diego (a mural at The New Children's Museum, as well as the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art), Beijing, China (for the 2008 Summer Olympics) and Melbourne, Australia. He designed and worked with volunteers to paint Edgewood at the Edge of the World, a  mural in the Edgewood neighborhood of Northeast, Washington, D.C. He has held shows in Mexico City, Brazil, and Dubai, traveled with musicians for live painting, and has painted a number of spray paint portraits of celebrities including Hugh Hefner, Jay-Z, Ol dirty bastard, and Rage Against the Machine. His works are in several corporate collections, including Google and Zazzle,

One of his more prominent works, The Color Therapy of Perception, is a   mural commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission's "Arts in Storefronts" project to improve the city's blighted Tenderloin neighborhood. While painting that work he was stabbed by thieves trying to steal his tools of communication. Mayor Gavin Newsom visited Chor <mask> in the hospital, and helped complete the painting.Corporate Zombies is located in New York, NY at 5 Bryant Park. The building's owners commissioned <mask> <mask> to paint a mural inside the empty space on the corner of 40th Street and Avenue of the Americas, as part of the lot's rebranding as 5 Bryant Park. Equity Office Properties/Blackstone Group commissioned a mural by <mask> <mask> in Times Square where he paid homage by painting portraits of the king and queen of pop Michael Jackson and Madonna. He has resided in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2007 where he has been an active member of the street art community and has painted several notable commissioned public murals including The Eyes of San Francisco, Purgatory, and Opium Horizons. “Internationally acclaimed virtuoso of spray-paint <mask> <mask> presents his solo show: Romanticism, where imagination and emotion meet the healing power of color therapy. Having emerged, in part, from the world of ‘Aerosol Art,<mask> profoundly expounds on the genre in style, technique, form, composition, and conceptual underpinnings, as he can no longer be simply categorized as such. Viewers often find it nearly unbelievable that his masterful works are created almost solely from spray paint.”
– NBC News

“With his innovative techniques and spiritual color philosophies, <mask> <mask> is the king.”
– San Francisco Bay Guardian

“If you ever visited or live in the Bay Area, you’ve seen at least one of <mask> <mask>’s striking murals.<mask>’s work ends up looking more like fine art, which is pretty impressive considering he paints solely in aerosol.”
– Juxtapoz Magazine

“Chor <mask> is taking spray painting to new heights in the art world.”
– DUB Magazine

“Take Chor <mask>’s mural ‘The Color Therapy of Perception,’ a riotously vibrant painting of a pair of eyes stretching along Market Street near downtown. It has the visual power of a kaleidoscope, and its subject matter is an evocation of the author and activist Jane Jacob's pronouncement on urban safety: ‘There must be eyes upon the street.’”
– The New York Times

“LA Art Show is the first major art fair to host a street art exhibition featuring live performances by artists Retna, Mear One, Chor Boogie, and El Mac, launching street art into the fine art mainstream.”
– LA Art Show

title: Gerhard Marcks

texts:
<mask> (18 February 1889 – 13 November 1981) was a German artist, known primarily as a sculptor, but who is also known for his drawings, woodcuts, lithographs and ceramics. Early life
<mask> was born in Berlin, where, at the age of 18, he worked as an apprentice to sculptor Richard Scheibe. In 1914, he married Maria Schmidtlein, with whom he would raise six children. During World War I, he served in the German army, which resulted in long term health problems. With architect Walter Gropius, German-American painter Lyonel Feininger, Scheibe and others, <mask> was a member of two art-related political groups, the Novembergruppe (November Group) and the Arbeitsrat für Kunst (Workers Council for Art). He was also affiliated with the Deutscher Werkbund, of which Gropius was a founding member. Bauhaus master
In 1919, when Gropius founded the Bauhaus, in Weimar, <mask> was one of the first three faculty members to be hired, along with Feininger and Johannes Itten.Specifically, <mask> was appointed the Formmeister (Form Master) of the school's Pottery Workshop, which was located not in Weimar but in an annex to the school in nearby Dornburg. The other teacher in that workshop, its Lehrmeister (Crafts Master) was Master Potter Max Krehan, the last of a long line of potters, whose workshop was in Dornburg. Krehan taught the students to throw pots on the wheel, to trim and glaze them, and to fire the kiln. <mask>, in addition to duties in Weimar, taught the history of the practice, encouraged experimentation, and sometimes decorated pots. Earlier, <mask> had made the models for a series of animal sculptures, which were reproduced in China by a porcelain factory. His interest in animal forms is reflected in the work he made for his first Bauhaus portfolio (Neue Europaeische Graphik I), such as Die Katzen ("The Cats") and Die Eule ("The Owl"), both woodcuts. In time, his focus shifted to the human figure, and it was this subject that continued to hold his attention for the rest of his life.Further career
In September 1925, the Bauhaus was relocated to Dessau, and its Pottery Workshop was discontinued. <mask> moved instead to the Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Applied Arts) in Burg Giebichenstein near Halle. After the death of its director, Paul Thiersch, <mask> was named his replacement, a position he continued in until his dismissal in 1933. He was fired because his work was deemed unsuitable by the Nazis, with the result that several works were in the infamous exhibition of "degenerate art" in Munich in 1937, along with that of other Bauhaus artists, among them Herbert Bayer, Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer and Lothar Schreyer. Despite such persecution, <mask> continued to live in Germany (in Mecklenburg) throughout World War II. In 1937, when twenty-four of his works were confiscated and destroyed by the Nazis, he was prohibited from exhibiting and threatened with being forbidden to work. During this period, he made several trips to Italy, where he worked in the Villa Romana in Florence and the Villa Massimo in Rome.In 1943, his studio in Berlin was bombed during an air raid, and many of his works destroyed. After World War II, <mask> became Professor of Sculpture at the Landeskunstschule (Regional Art School) in Hamburg, where he taught for four years, before retiring to Cologne. He also designed memorials for soldiers and civilians who had died in the war, and his work was part of the art competitions at three Olympic Games. Death and legacy
<mask> died in 1981 in Burgbrohl, Eifel. A decade earlier, the museum called <mask> Haus, which houses a permanent exhibition of his artwork, was established in his honor in Bremen, Germany. In this museum are 12,000 of his sketches and preparatory drawings, 900 prints, and all his sculptures (about 350). In the U.S., there is a collection of <mask>' work (68 drawings, 65 prints and 9 nine bronze sculptures) at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, most of which were given to that school by his former student and close associate, Marguerite Wildenhain.Of particular note is a monumental Marcks bronze statue titled Oedipus and Antigone (1960), which was installed there in 2000. Honors and exhibitions

In 1914 Marcks participated in exhibitions of the Berlin Secession and the Deutscher Werkbund, after World War II at the Venice Biennale and the Documentas I (1955), II (1959) and III (1964) in Kassel. In 1939 Robert Pudlich: paintings, watercolors and drawings; <mask>, Zoltan Székessy: Plastic and Drawings: 36th exhibition (with Karl Buchholz in Berlin)
In 1949 the city of Frankfurt upon Main awarded him the Goethe Plaque. In 1952 he was appointed a Knight of the Peace Class of the Order Pour le Mérite. In 1954 North Rhine-Westphalia awarded him its Grand Art Prize. In 1955 the city of Berlin awarded him its Art Prize. In 1962 the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg, made him an honorary member
In 1979 he was honored on his 90th birthday by exhibitions in Berlin, Bremen, Cologne and Nuremberg, as well as by the award of the Grand Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.In 1980 the American Academy of Letters, New York, made him an honorary member, together with Max Ernst and Karlheinz Stockhausen. In 1991 10778 Marcks (1991 gn10), a minor planet (asteroid) was discovered on 9 April, and named in his honor. Gallery

title: Elisenda of Montcada

texts:
<mask> (c. 1292 – 19 June 1364) was queen consort of Aragon as the fourth and last spouse of James II of Aragon. She served as Regent or "Queen-Lieutenant" of Aragon during the absence of her spouse from 1324 until 1327. She was a daughter of <mask> and <mask>. She and James II founded the Monastery of Pedralbes, a Franciscan convent of the Poor Clares. After James II's death in 1327, Elisenda lived adjacent to the monastery for the remaining 37 years of her life. Early life

<mask> was believed to have been born in Aitona, the daughter of <mask> i d’Abarca, Baron of Aitona, and <mask>. She belonged to the lineage of Montcada, one of the most noble families of Catalonia, close with the monarchy.Elisenda had three brothers: Ot, heir to Aitona and a godfather of the future Peter IV of Aragon; Gastó, bishop of Huesca and later of Girona; and Guillem Ramón. Elisenda's great-grandmother was Constance, Lady of Aitona, an illegitimate daughter of Peter II of Aragon, making her and her husband second cousins once removed. Queen and regent

After James II was a widower by his third wife, Maria of Cyprus, he hurried to contract a new marriage. Just a month after the death of the unhappy queen, he went to obtain a dispensation of consanguinity in the third or fourth grade to arrange new nuptials. The king did not indicate the name of the chosen, but it was <mask> of Montcada. The monarch seemed very animated with the idea and openly hastened the proceedings that were taken. Her marriage to James II took place in Tarragona on 25 December 1322.The king endowed the bride with income from Berga, Burriana, Tortosa, Morella, Torroella de Montgri, and Pals, and her brother Ot with the locations of Seròs and Mequinensa. She was 30 and he, who was widowed in 1319/1322, was about 55. She thus became stepmother to James' ten children by his second marriage to Blanche of Anjou; they had no children of their own. She favored the grandson of James II, the future Peter the Ceremonious. They settled in the royal palace in Barcelona and led a relatively quiet life. She intervened in the affairs of state, giving advice as the other queens had done. The queen was described as mature, educated, beautiful, and very pious, and the day to day at the royal court as cordial, despite the rigidity and severity of James himself.From 1324, she acted as regent during his absence from Aragon. The marriage lasted for five years before James died in November 1327. Jesus Ernest Martinez Ferrando wrote:
"Elisenda, for her feminine qualities, for her exquisite religiosity, was the best sedative that the monarch could find in the bitterness of his last years; dialogue with the devoted wife sweetened their hours of spiritual and physical ordeal; it can be said that Elisenda helped James II to die well. As death approached - as observed in the mentioned biography – it was established between the two spouses 'a mutual religious delight'". The new queen chose Barcelona and its Palau Reial Major as her usual residence, even though Tortosa was in the midst of her dowry and its castle was the residence of her predecessors, the queens Blanca of Anjou and Maria of Cyprus, for extended periods. Because they had no children and the king soon became ill, Elisenda devoted her life to her religious practices and the exercise of charity. Construction of the Monastery of Pedralbes

Elisenda eventually became interested in the foundation of a monastery of the Order of the Poor Clares around Barcelona.Once she expressed this desire, the king hurried to please her, even though there was already Vilafranca del Penedès, a monastery of Poor Clares founded by Blanca of Anjou, his second wife. He only placed one condition – that the monastery was to be erected in honor of the mother of God. At first it was designated to be located at the site of Valldaura, between Cerdanyola and Montcada, but then it was decided on a place called Pedralbes due to the amount of white stone extracted from an existing quarry. In 1326 work began on the monastery in Pedralbes; the management and construction advanced rapidly. Perhaps James II sensed his death and wanted the mystical enthusiasm of his wife to become a reality as soon as possible. After a year the basic structure of the monastery was done: they could use the cloister, and the church and housing for the nuns were almost finished as well. On 3 May 1327 fourteen nuns entered the monastery and they elected the first abbess, Sobirana d’Olzet.In a will which he wrote just a few months before his death, the king ratified, among other things, donations on income made to his wife. In addition he left her the gold crown that he had purchased at the time of the wedding and many other jewels, fine fabrics and tablecloths and dishes crafted with gold and silver. <mask> was widowed in November 1327. She ordered a small palace to be built next to, but completely separate from, the monastery. She lived there for the remaining 37 years of her life. Although she was never a nun, <mask> was endowed with broad powers over the internal workings of the monastery. She participated actively in the decision making of the religious community and put special emphasis on obtaining several privileges for the monastery.For example, it was under the direct protection of the city of Barcelona through the Consell de Cent, the managing body of the city, which was committed to defend the monastery in the event of danger. It was also her intention was to have Pedralbes be the most favored monastery so it would not face economic difficulty after she died, quite common in the female monasteries. During these years royal donations nearly drowned the Franciscan spirit of the convent life. <mask> managed the construction of the buildings and their ornamentation. Painters, like Ferrer Bassa and the Serra brothers, were contracted to beautify the monastery. <mask> also promoted the paintings in the chapel of St. Michael, which were ordered by the abbess Francesca Saportella, her niece. Although she stayed at the monastery, she did participate in some official regnal events, such as the transfer of the remains of Saint Eulalia to the Cathedral in Barcelona, when she accompanied Maria of Navarre, wife of Peter IV of Aragon, and Constance of Aragon, wife of James III of Mallorca.Death and burial

<mask>'s will was issued on 11 April 1364 and she died on 19 July of that year. She bequeathed everything to the monastery as her primary heir, except for some goods destined for institutions, relatives, or acquaintances. She requested that they raze the palace where she lived, which was done immediately. The inventory that was made of her room demonstrates the simplicity in which she lived, despite the jewels and fine fabrics that she gifted. The tomb of the Queen is a magnificent work of Catalan Gothic that artistically represents the double life of this woman. The bifrontal tomb is located along a wall that separates the church from the cloister, with unique presentations on each side. From the church, <mask> is portrayed as a queen wearing her crown, and from the cloister she is dressed as an austere widow or nun.Legacy
The Monastery of Pedralbes is Elisenda's most significant legacy. It is a national monument, and is open to the public. <mask>'s portrait is part of the Gallery of Illustrious Catalans at the Barcelona City Council. Passeig de Reina Elisenda de Montcada is a street named after her in the Sarrià neighborhood of Barcelona, as is the associated Reina Elisenda station of line L12 of the Barcelona Metro. The station is 0.7 km northeast of the monastery. Notes

title: Joe Dante

texts:
<mask>. (; born November 28, 1946) is an American film director, producer, editor and actor. His films—notably Gremlins (1984)—often mix 1950s-style B movies with cartoon comedy. <mask>'s films also include Piranha (1978), The Howling (1981), Explorers (1985), Innerspace (1987),  The 'Burbs (1989),  Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), Matinee (1993), Small Soldiers (1998), and Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003). His work for television and cable includes immigration satire The Second Civil War (1997) and episodes of anthology series Masters of Horror ("Homecoming" and "The Screwfly Solution") and Amazing Stories, as well as Hawaii Five-0 and Police Squad!. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Morristown, New Jersey, and grew up in nearby Livingston. His father, <mask>, was a professional golfer, though <mask> was more interested in becoming a cartoonist. <mask> began his film career working for legendary, low-budget producer Roger Corman, who provided similar opportunities to future directors Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron.He made The Movie Orgy in 1968. He then worked as an editor on Grand Theft Auto after co-directing Hollywood Boulevard with Allan Arkush. His next feature film, Roger Corman-produced Piranha, was released in 1978. Inspired by Steven Spielberg's Jaws, the film was written by John Sayles. <mask> then invited Sayles to rewrite the script for werewolf tale The Howling, loosely based on the novel by Gary Brandner. Gremlins and beyond
<mask> directed episodes of cult television series Police Squad!, before Steven Spielberg invited him to join the directing team on anthology movie Twilight Zone: The Movie. <mask>'s segment, 'It's a Good Life', featured cartoon-style special effects, and revolved around a woman (played by Kathleen Quinlan) who is 'adopted' by an omnipotent boy.Gremlins proved one of <mask>'s biggest hits to date, being the third-highest-grossing film of 1984. Combining horror and comedy elements, the film revolves around Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan), who is given a strange creature he calls Gizmo as a pet. After Billy fails to follow the rules for looking after Gizmo, the creature spawns other creatures, which transform into destructive monsters who then begin rampaging through the local town. Six years passed before <mask> directed the even more anarchic Gremlins 2: The New Batch, set this time in a New York high rise. Aside from the Gremlins films, <mask> also worked with producer Steven Spielberg on comedy adventure Innerspace (1987), in which Dennis Quaid's character is miniaturised and injected inside a human body. His 1985 boys meet alien tale Explorers marked the film debuts of actors River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke. <mask> would later work with Tom Hanks on The 'Burbs (1989), a black comedy in which Hanks' character deals with nightmare neighbours.The 1990s
In 1993 <mask> directed Matinee, which received positive reviews. Set during the 1960s, the film pays homage to B movies and the showmen who made and promoted them. Matinee has a 91 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In his review for the Chicago Reader, Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote, "At the same time that <mask> has a field day brutally satirizing our desire to scare ourselves and others, he also re-creates early-60s clichés with a relish and a feeling for detail that come very close to love". USA Today reviewer Mike Clark wrote "Part spoof, part nostalgia trip and part primer in exploitation-pic ballyhoo, Matinee is a sweetly resonant little movie-lovers' movie". <mask> was creative consultant on short-lived fantasy series Eerie, Indiana (1991–1992), and directed five episodes. He played himself in the series finale.In 1995–1996 he worked on The Phantom. When he was removed from the film, he chose screen credit (as executive producer) rather than pay. In 1998, he directed Small Soldiers which received mixed reviews and was a moderate box office success. From 2000
<mask> directed the 2003 live-action/animation hybrid, Looney Tunes: Back in Action. A box office bomb, the film received mixed reviews. In 2007, <mask> launched the web series Trailers from Hell, which provides commentary by directors, producers and screenwriters on trailers for classic and cult movies. He is also a contributor to the website.<mask>'s 2009 film The Hole received positive reviews, and was awarded the Premio Persol at the 2009 Venice Film Festival. The new award was for the "3-D feature deemed the most creative among those produced globally between September 2008 and August 2009." With Roger Corman producing, <mask> also directed the interactive web series Splatter for Netflix. The series stars Corey Feldman as a rock star seeking revenge on those he thinks have wronged him. Various projects <mask> is officially involved in are struggling with funding for years, among them the anthology film "Paris, I'll kill you", the werewolf feature "Monster Love", and the Roger Corman biopic "The Man with Kaleidoscope Eyes". In 2014, <mask> made Burying the Ex, a horror comedy about a young man whose controlling girlfriend suddenly dies in a freak accident but when he tries to move on with his life along with his new partner he discovers that his now undead Ex has come back. The film stars Anton Yelchin and Ashley Greene.It was selected to be screened out of competition at the 71st Venice International Film Festival, and was released in 2015. <mask> served as executive producer on the independent feature length thriller Dark, starring Whitney Able and Alexandra Breckenridge, directed by Nick Basile. The film is set in New York City during the 2003 blackout. The film was released by Screen Media Films on June 7, 2016. In 2019, <mask> released Nightmare Cinema, a horror anthology film starring Mickey Rourke and featuring shorts directed by <mask>, Alejandro Brugués, Mick Garris, Ryūhei Kitamura, and David Slade. In 2020, <mask> returned to the world of Gremlins serving as a consultant on the HBO Max prequel series Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai. <mask>'s actors
Like most directors, <mask> has developed a stock company of actors who have worked with him over a long period of time.<mask>'s long-time friend and business associate, Sylvia, played one of the nuns at the concert in Allan Arkush's Rock 'n' Roll High School. <mask> co-wrote and directed five scenes of the film when Arkush became ill.

<mask>'s filmmaking
<mask>'s films are well known for their many references to other movies and for their special effects. <mask>'s garage is frequently mentioned in audio commentaries as holding many of the props from his various films, including the Peltzer Peeler Juicer from Gremlins, and where the mock-pornographic scene in The Howling was shot. His respect for the screenwriter extends to the point where, in order to make sure <mask> can confer with the writer on-set and provide some minor, additional remuneration, he always casts the writer in a small part of the production itself. The studio is normally unwilling to pay to have the writer on-set in any other way. <mask> has cited among his major influences Roger Corman, Chuck Jones, Frank Tashlin, James Whale and Jean Cocteau, as well as an admiration for the film Hellzapoppin', from which he frequently borrows jokes because of how difficult the film is to see in the United States.

He joined Northern Premier League First Division outfit Fleetwood Town on loan in January 2006 and made his debut in a 2–0 victory at home to Belper Town on 28 January. He stayed at the club until April 2006, having made 16 appearances and scored one goal. <mask> was loaned out to Northern Premier League First Division club Bamber Bridge in February 2007.On 31 May 2007, following Morecambe's promotion to League Two, <mask> was released by Sammy McIlroy alongside fellow Morecambe teammates Danny Meadowcroft and Thomas Pickersgill. Forest Green Rovers

<mask> completed his free transfer move to Conference Premier club Forest Green Rovers on 3 July 2007 and became an influential member of the squad during his three-year stay at the club. He was a part of the side that made it to the FA Cup third round during the 2008–09 season and scored in Forest Green's 4–3 loss to Derby County on 3 January 2009. <mask> made 134 appearances for Forest Green in all competitions. York City
<mask> left Forest Green Rovers after signing for Conference Premier rivals York City on a free transfer for a small compensation fee on 6 July 2010. Like his career at Forest Green, <mask> also helped York to a credible FA Cup run, playing in their five matches before being eliminated in the third round by Premier League club Bolton Wanderers on 8 January 2011. He made 44 appearances for York in 2010–11, in which he scored five goals.Swindon Town
On 21 June 2011, <mask> joined League Two club Swindon Town on a two-year contract to become manager Paolo Di Canio's second summer signing. <mask> joined the Wiltshire club for an officially undisclosed fee of £30,000. He finished 2011–12 with 48 appearances and three goals, with 38 of those appearances coming in the league, as Swindon won the League Two title. Return to York City
Having been transfer listed by Swindon at the end of the season, <mask> returned to York City after signing for the newly promoted League Two club on a two-year contract on 21 July 2012. He made his second debut for York in their match away at League One club Doncaster Rovers in the League Cup first round on 11 August 2012, which they lost 4–2 in a penalty shoot-out following a 1–1 draw after extra time. He then played in York's first Football League fixture since their promotion, a 3–1 defeat at home to Wycombe Wanderers on 18 August 2012. Luton Town
On 5 November 2012, <mask> was loaned out to Conference Premier club Luton Town until 5 January 2013, having played in 13 matches for York in 2012–13.He made his debut the following day in a 1–0 defeat at Hereford United. <mask> scored his first goal for Luton with a header in their 3–0 home win over Alfreton Town on 8 December 2012. This proved to be his final appearance in his loan spell for Luton, as he was recalled by York on 11 December 2012, having scored once in six appearances for the Bedfordshire team. <mask> was disappointed at the recall, having previously expressed his desire to stay at Luton and experience "playing in front of a big crowd every week". On 29 December 2012, it was confirmed that <mask> would make a permanent move to Luton on 1 January 2013, signing a one-and-a-half-year contract after the two clubs agreed a fee of £50,000. He made 28 appearances as a permanent player for Luton in 2012–13, including in the club's 1–0 FA Cup win over Premier League team Norwich City. <mask> became a constant presence in central midfield during the first half of Luton's 2013–14 season, which helped to propel the club into second place in the table.However, a mistimed challenge from Jon Nurse in a 2–1 win over Barnet on 26 December 2013 saw <mask> suffer a "horrific" bone fracture of both his right tibia and fibula. Luton won promotion to League Two with three matches of 2013–14 remaining, and <mask> came on as a late substitute four months to the day after his injury in a 1–0 victory over Hyde on the last day of the campaign. In 2014–15, <mask> returned fully fit to Luton's starting lineup in a 1–0 home win over Cheltenham Town on 13 September 2014. His return coincided with an 11-match unbeaten league run that placed the club at the top of the table. Luton's form fell away in the final months of the season, winning only three times in their last 13 matches, resulting in the club finishing in eighth position. However, <mask>'s influence on the campaign saw him awarded the Players' Player of the Year and Luton Town Website Player of the Year accolades. At the end of the season he signed a three-year contract extension with the club.<mask> scored Luton's first goal of 2015–16 on 8 August 2015, deflecting in a Craig Mackail-<mask> shot to earn the club a 1–1 draw with Accrington Stanley. He scored twice during a run of four consecutive league wins from late September to early October, having also scored during a 3–2 away defeat to Notts County prior to this. However, Luton's inconsistent form throughout the season resulted in the club finishing in 11th position. He began 2016–17 by scoring Luton's third goal in second half stoppage time on the opening day of the season in a 3–0 win away to Plymouth Argyle, having entered the match as an 88th-minute substitute. Having predominantly played as a substitute early in the season, manager Nathan Jones said "I told him to be patient, because he's a key member of our squad". On his second start of the season, <mask> scored Luton's second goal in a 2–1 win away to Gillingham in the EFL Trophy on 30 August 2016. After making one start in Luton's opening 22 league matches, <mask> forced his way into the first-team at the turn of the year, starting 11 of the next 15 league matches, before losing his place in the team for the final nine league matches of the season.He was an unused substitute in both legs of the play-off semi-final defeat to Blackpool, losing 6–5 on aggregate, and finished the season with 35 appearances and two goals. After the end of the season, <mask> was transfer listed by Luton. Stevenage
On 7 August 2017, <mask> signed for League Two club Stevenage on an undisclosed-length contract, after being allowed to leave Luton by mutual consent. <mask> joined National League club Chesterfield on 18 September 2018 on a 93-day loan. <mask> signed an 18-month deal with the club on 8 November 2018, after having his Stevenage contract cancelled by mutual consent. <mask> became club captain in December 2018, starting with the 2–0 victory over Salford City. FC United of Manchester
In August 2021, he signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division side F.C.United of Manchester on a free transfer. Career statistics

title: Narayan Rane

texts:
<mask> (born 10 April 1952) is an Indian politician and former Chief Minister of Maharashtra. He currently serves as Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the Second Modi ministry. He has previously held Cabinet Ministry positions for Industry, Port, Employment and Self-employment; Revenue; and Industry in the Government of Maharashtra. He was a member of Shiv Sena and opposition leader of Vidhan Sabha until July 2005, when he joined Indian National Congress party. He quit Congress in September 2017 and launched the Maharashtra Swabhiman Paksha. In 2018, he declared support for Bharatiya Janata Party and was elected to the Rajya Sabha on a BJP nomination. On 15 October 2019, he joined Bhartiya Janata Party and merged his party, Maharashtra Swabhiman Paksha, into the BJP.Personal life
<mask> was born to Tatu Sitaram <mask> and Laxmibai <mask> in Maharashtra. He dropped out from 11th grade. He has two sons: Nilesh and Nitesh Rane. Nitesh is a politician and member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. Political career

Shiv Sena
<mask> joined Shiv Sena in his early twenties and started his political career as local
Shakha Pramukh at Chembur, Mumbai. He then became the Councillor of Kopargaon. Under the BJP-Shiv Sena coalition government, <mask> first received the Revenue Ministry portfolio.He succeeded Manohar Joshi as Chief Minister in 1999, when Joshi was forced to resign due to a land use controversy. Later that year, the BJP-Sena alliance led by <mask> lost the October 1999 Maharashtra elections to an INC-NCP coalition. The election campaign opened a breach between <mask> and Uddhav Thackeray, the president of Shiv Sena. Relations between Thackeray and <mask> finally ruptured completely in 2005, when <mask> submitted his resignation from the party. In response Thackeray and Shiv Sena expelled <mask> from the party on 3 July 2005, accusing <mask> of "gangsterism" and "betrayal of the party." Indian National Congress
<mask> joined the Indian National Congress in 2005, receiving his old post as Revenue Minister under the Second Desmukh Ministry. In a 2005 by-election, he won re-election from his old Malvan seat in the Konkan region on a Congress ticket.In the wake of 2008 Mumbai attacks, Vilasrao Deshmukh, then Chief Minister of Maharashtra resigned, and Sonia Gandhi elevated Ashok Chavan as Chief Minister. <mask> accused Congress leadership of breaching its promises to make him Chief Minister, and was suspended by the party. After <mask> apologized, the INC revoked this suspension. Prithviraj Chavan appointed <mask> as Minister of Industry in his first ministry, elevating Balasheb Thorat to <mask>'s old Revenue portfolio. <mask> resigned from the Cabinet in July 2014 over differences with the party's leadership on the INC's campaign effort. The BJP and SHS went on to claim victory in the 2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election, in which <mask> lost his bid for re-election to a Shiv Sena candidate. In 2016, the INC appointed <mask> as a member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council.The appointment did not suppress the increasingly public feud between <mask> and Congress leadership, however, prompting speculation about <mask>'s future in the party. On 21 September 2017, <mask> resigned both from the INC and from his membership on the Maharashtra Legislative Council. Maharashtra Swabhiman Paksha

Through press at the time expected <mask>'s resignation to result in an appointment to Devendra Fadnavis's cabinet, Shiv Sena, still led by <mask>'s longtime rival Uddhav Thackeray, threatened to withdraw from the BJP-led coalition if <mask> was admitted. Temporarily without a party, <mask> formed a new political party in October 2017 called the Maharashtra Swabhiman Paksha and indicated it would ally with Bharatiya Janata Party. However, when <mask> ran for Rajya Sabha in 2018, he did so under a BJP party line. Bharatiya Janata Party
<mask> merged his party, Maharashtra Swabhiman Paksha, with the Bharatiya Janata Party on October 15, 2019. Following that year's legislative assembly elections in Maharashtra, the BJP-Sena alliance broke down completely.During the July 2021 Cabinet reshuffle, Modi elevated <mask> to Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. Political writer Aditi Phadnis interpreted this as a BJP attempt to make inroads in the Marathi strongholds of their former allies, Shiv Sena. Newspaper Prahaar
Rane launched the Marathi daily Prahaar on 8 October 2008, under the ownership of Rane Prakashan Pvt. Ltd. While he serves as the Consulting Editor, journalist Madhukar Bhave is the editor of the newspaper. Controversies
In August 2011, Urban Development Deputy Secretary BK Gahart claimed in a deposition before the inquiry committee investigating the Adarsh Housing Society scam that while <mask> was Chief Minister in the 1999 Shiv Sena-BJP ministry, he expedited a land allocation at the behest of Adarsh Housing Society. The BJP-Sena opposition unsuccessfully campaigned for <mask>'s resignation as Industry Minister, but when the inquiry committee completed its report in April 2013, indicting four former Chief Ministers of Maharashtra, <mask> was not included.In August 2021, while traveling under the BJP Jan Ashirwad Yatra initiative (a program under which Modi ministers traveled their home constituencies and regions), <mask> claimed Uddhav Thackeray, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra following the 2019 Maharashtra political crisis, forgot the year of India's independence during an Independence Day speech, requiring prompting by an aide. <mask> went on to declare that, "Had I been there, I would have given him a slap." Maharashtra Police arrested <mask> in Ratnagiri on 24 August. A court conditionally granted him bail the following day. See also

title: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown

texts:
<mask>Gatemouth<mask> (April 18, 1924 – September 10, 2005) was an American singer and multi-instrumentalist from Louisiana known for his work as a blues musician. He spent his career fighting purism by synthesizing traditional blues and country, jazz, Cajun music and R&B. His work also encompasses rock and roll, rock, folk and Texas blues. He was famously a resident of Texas. <mask> was acclaimed for his skills on multiple instruments, including the guitar, mandolin, viola, violin, harmonica and drums. He won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album in 1983 for his album, Alright Again!. He is regarded as one of the most influential exponents of the blues fiddle and has had enormous influence in American fiddle circles.<mask>'s biggest musical influences were Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, and Count Basie. His highly original electric guitar style influenced many blues and rock guitarists, including Guitar Slim, Albert Collins, and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. Early life
<mask> was born in Vinton, Louisiana, and raised near Orange, Texas. His father was a railroad worker and local musician who taught him several musical instruments, including fiddle by age 5; as well as piano and guitar. He had at least one brother. Career
<mask> was performing guitar by age ten. He also played drums in swing bands as a teenager.1940s and 1950s
<mask> served in the military during World War II. His professional music career began in 1945, playing drums in San Antonio, Texas. He was given the nickname "Gatemouth" by a high school teacher who said he had a "voice like a gate". His career was boosted when he attended a concert by T-Bone Walker in Don Robey's Bronze Peacock Houston nightclub in 1947; Walker became ill, and <mask> took up his guitar and quickly wrote and played "Gatemouth Boogie", to the delight of the audience. In 1949 Robey founded Peacock Records in order to showcase <mask>'s virtuoso guitar work. <mask>'s "Mary Is Fine" backed with "My Time Is Expensive" was a hit for Peacock in 1949. A string of Peacock releases in the 1950s were less successful commercially, but were nonetheless pioneering musically.Particularly notable was the 1954 instrumental "Okie Dokie Stomp", in which <mask> solos continuously over a punchy horn section (other instrumentals from this period include "Boogie Uproar" and "Gate Walks to Board"). "Okie Dokie Stomp" was also recorded by Cornell Dupree in the 1970s, who also had a commercial success with it. As for his gutsy violin playing, Robey allowed <mask> to record "Just Before Dawn", his final release on the Peacock label, in 1959. 1960s and 1970s
In the 1960s <mask> moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to participate in a syndicated R&B television show, and while he was there recorded several country singles. He struck up a friendship with Roy Clark and made several appearances on the television show Hee Haw. In 1966, <mask> was the musical director for the house band on the short-lived television program, The !!!! Beat.Later in the decade, he worked as a deputy sheriff in New Mexico. However, in the early 1970s several countries in Europe had developed an appreciation for American roots music, especially the blues, and <mask> was a popular and well-respected artist there. He toured Europe twelve times, beginning in 1971 and continuing throughout the 1970s. He also became an official ambassador for American music, and participated in several tours sponsored by the U.S. State Department, including an extensive tour of Eastern Africa. <mask> appeared at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival, where he jammed with American blues rock band Canned Heat, playing guitar and harmonica. In 1974, he recorded as a sideman with the New Orleans pianist Professor Longhair on his album, Rock 'N' Roll Gumbo (originally a Blue Star Records release). He moved to New Orleans in the late 1970s.In 1979, through his manager at the time, Jim Halsey, <mask> embarked on a 6-week, 44 concert tour of the Soviet Union. This was an historic event as it marked the first time the Soviet Union made a contract with a U.S. private citizen (Jim Halsey) as regards a musical tour. All previous tours were under the auspices of the U.S. State Department. To date, this was by far the most extensive tour an American band had taken in the USSR. Later years
In the 1980s, a series of releases on Rounder Records and Alligator Records revitalized his U.S. career, and he toured extensively and internationally, usually playing between 250 and 300 shows a year. He won a Grammy in 1982 for the album Alright Again! and was nominated for five more.Alright Again! is credited with putting <mask> back on the musical map. He also won eight W. C. Handy Awards. In 1999, <mask> was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. In his last years, he maintained a full touring schedule, including Australia, New Zealand, South America, Africa and Eastern Europe. His final record Timeless was released in 2004. The rock composer Frank Zappa, in his autobiography, The Real Frank Zappa Book (1989), credited <mask>, along with Guitar Slim and Johnny "Guitar" Watson, as important influences on his guitar playing.Personal life and demise

<mask> was married and divorced three times. He had four children: three daughters, <mask> of Houston, Celeste Biles of Vista, California, and Renée <mask> of New Orleans, and a son, Dwayne <mask>, of Oklahoma City. In September 2004, <mask> was diagnosed with lung cancer. He already had emphysema and heart disease, and he and his doctors decided to forego treatment for the cancer. This greatly affected his musical career. His home in Slidell, Louisiana, was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, although he had been evacuated to his childhood hometown of Orange, Texas, and lived with his brother before the storm hit. He died in Orange on September 10, 2005, at the apartment of a grandniece, at the age of 81.<mask> is buried in the Hollywood Cemetery in Orange. Flooding caused by Hurricane Ike in September 2008 damaged his grave. His grave has since been refurbished and through the estate funds, a headstone has been erected in his honor. A marker honoring <mask> was placed by the Texas Historical Commission next to the flagpole at Hollywood Cemetery. Discography
