title: Ahmad Motevaselian

type: original

texts:
<mask> (), an Iranian military attaché, was one of four Iranians who disappeared in Lebanon in 1982. During the Iran–Iraq War, he was a commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and established the 27th Muhammad Rasoolullah Division of Tehran. He played a role in the Liberation of Khorramshahr and later, as part of a senior diplomatic group of political and military leaders, went to Syria. On 5 July 1982, when the vehicle carrying the diplomats was passing through a checkpoint post on its way to Beirut, it was intercepted by Phalange Party. The car and four passengers, completely disappeared. Iran has accused Israel of kidnapping and holding them in Israeli jails and covering up their fate. Israel has said it is not aware of the fate of the diplomats.Iran called on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to investigate their whereabouts. Three decades after the incident, the fate of the missing diplomats remains a mystery, and the search for Motevaselian and the other Iranians continues. However, it is assumed that shortly after their abduction, they were executed by the Phalange. Early life
<mask> was born in a religious family in 1954 in the south of Tehran. He spent his primary school in Mostafavi school in Tehran. During his education, Motevaselian helped his father in his pastry shop. When he was a teenager, he participated in religious ceremonies and masque and started his political activities against the then ruling regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran.After finishing his primary education, he went to industrial school and received his diploma in 1973. Before the Iranian Revolution
After graduation, Motevaselian went to Shiraz for military service and participated in a special tank training course and was then dispatched to Sarpol-e Zahab. During his service, he continued his political activities against the Shah. After military service, he was employed in a private company and after a few months was sent to Khorramabad. In 1976, the SAVAK 'secret police' arrested him for his political activities. He was jailed for five months in solitary confinement in Falak-ol-Aflak Castle in Khorramabad. Motevaselian actively participated in the 1979 Revolution in his neighborhood and also the south of Tehran.After the victory of the Revolution, he established the Committee of the Islamic Republic in the district near his home, and later joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. After the Iranian Revolution
Following the success of the Revolution, <mask> engaged in various revolutionary political and military campaigns:
 The operations against opposition within Kurdistan Province
 Fighting anti-revolutionaries in Bokan, Baneh, and Saghez in 1979
 Liberation of Sanandaj in western Iran from anti-revolutionaries
 Liberation of Paveh-Kermanshah road in 1980
 Liberation of Marivan city in May 1980
 Liberation of Dezli heights
 Established the 27th Muhammad Rasoolullah Division
 Operation Beit ol-Moqaddas on 30 April 1982

Mission in Lebanon
After the Liberation of Khorramshahr, <mask> knew that Israel had invaded Lebanon. In June 1982, he went to the Lebanese-Syrian border as head of a commando unit, but the unit was sent back to Iran by Syrian authorities but <mask> stayed for protecting Iran's embassy from Israeli and Phalange Party. On 5 July 1982, when the vehicle carrying the diplomats was passing through a checkpoint post on its way to Beirut, it was intercepted by Phalange Party, and the car and four passengers disappeared, despite diplomatic immunity and that they were using an official state vehicle. For the last time, Iranian diplomats were seen at Barbara checkpoint that controlled by Elie Hobeika. They were then abducted by the Phalange Party. The missing diplomats are <mask>, military attaché and the head of the commandos of the June dispatch; Seyed Mohsen Mousavi, chargé d'affaires for the Iranian embassy in Beirut; and Taghi Rastegar Moghadam, the embassy technician; plus Kazem Akhavan, a journalist for Islamic Republic Press Agency.Eight years later Geagea said: "they had been killed on the orders of the group's intelligence chief, Elie Hobeika." According to an Israeli report, these men were killed by Lebanese forces. Israel claimed in a statement in 2010 that the diplomats had never been surrendered to Israel. Elsewhere in response to a request by the Lebanese Hezbollah, it claimed that the four were dead. But Iran has accused Israel of kidnapping and holding them in Israeli jails and covering up their fate. Also, Iran called on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to clarify their whereabouts. Israel has claimed that it is aware of the fate of diplomats, and that they were kidnapped by a Lebanese militant group and executed shortly after their abduction.It was believed (by whom?) that they were then buried at a site that was later obliterated by construction works. Three decades after the incident, the fate of the missing diplomats remains locked in a debate between Iran and Israel. Apart from this debate, many scholars have assumed that shortly after their abduction, they were executed by the Phalange. Investigations
Adnan Mansour, Lebanese foreign minister, at a meeting with the families of the abducted Iranian diplomats said: "Beirut have sent the United Nations two formal letters in the past two years confirming the abduction of the Iranian nationals on the Lebanese soil and these have been recorded as official documents at the UN Secretariat." The Lebanese justice ministry has been asked to submit a report on the latest investigations conducted into the case, vowing not to spare any effort at both national and international levels to resolve this painful issue. Former Iranian President, Mahmoud <mask> is quoted by Iran's Fars News Agency as telling U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon during a meeting in New York City: "Regarding the four abducted Iranian diplomats, there are documents that show they are alive and in the hands of the Zionist Regime."He also added that: "We expected U.N. Secretary General to take serious measures for their release." On 23 May 2016, Hossein Dehghan (minister of defense of Iran) stated that <mask>an and Iranian diplomats who disappeared in Lebanon, are alive and prisoner in the  Israeli jails. In popular culture

Early days

In early 1977 in Sydney <mask>, on drums, joined vocalist Ron Peno's (aka Ronnie Pop) band, the Hellcats, with Clyde Bramley on bass guitar and Charlie Georges on guitar. Ian McFarlane, an Australian musicologist, described the group as "a tough New York Dolls-inspired covers band". The Hellcats often supported fellow punk rockers, Radio Birdman. Later that year <mask>, under the pseudonym Jim Boots, joined another local punk band, Thought Criminals, with the line-up of Roger Grierson (aka Jack Boots) on guitar, Rique Lee Kendall (aka Matt Black) on bass guitar and Bruce Warner (aka Kit Identity) on lead vocals.Kingsmill performed on their first recording, an EP, Hilton Bomber. It was released in 1978 on their own label, Doublethink. <mask> was replaced by the Last Words' drummer, Ken Doyle (aka Derik Wapillspoon). <mask> was the original drummer and member of his next band, The Other Side, along with Clyde Bramley and Charlie Georges, and was replaced by Ron Keeley, when <mask> departed to join the Hitmen. This reunited Keely with Rob Younger (ex-Radio Birdman) on lead vocals. Hitmen

Kingsmill, using the moniker Drum Stick, joined Sydney-based rockers, the Hitmen, in 1979 on drums and backing vocals, alongside Warwick Gilbert (Leonardo da Vinci) on guitar, Johnny Kannis (Adonis) on lead vocals, Chris Masuak (Han Debris) on lead guitar and Phil Sommerville (Cole Slaw) on bass guitar. In March 1979 WEA had signed the band and in July they issued their first single, "Didn't Tell the Man", with a line-up of <mask>, Gilbert, Kannis, Masuak and Tony Vidale on guitar.The band's next single "I Want You" was released in April. In December 1980 they worked with producer <mask> to record their debut album. Midway through recording Vidale quit and was replaced by guitarist Brad Shepherd (ex-Fun Things). The album, Hitmen, was released in July 1981; preceded a month earlier by the single, "I Don't Mind". McFarlane opined that the album and single "were excellent slices of melodic hard rock." In November 1981 the group supported Steppenwolf on the Australian leg of their tour. Tony Robertson on bass guitar replaced Gilbert during that tour.<mask> and Masuak co-wrote "Scratch the Itchy Brother" which was later issued on a compilation album, Kicks Right Now.... Demos and Out-Takes (November 2015). In 1982 Shepherd and fellow flatmate, Bramley, formed a side project, a bubble gum pop group, Super K, to record a single "Go Go", for which <mask> played drums. The Hitmen issued two more singles, "Everybody Knows (I Don't Like Love)" (April 1982) and "Bwana Devil" (November), with another album, It is What It Is, in November. Shepherd left ahead of the album and the Hitmen continued to tour as a four-piece. McFarlane declared that they would "draw big crowds on tour, but could not sell records." They were dropped by their label, RCA, and disbanded in mid-1983. New Christs

In June 1983 Younger reformed his earlier band, the New Christs, with <mask> on drums, Masuak on guitar, Robertson on bass guitar and Kent Steedman on lead guitar (ex-the Celibate Rifles).They supported an Australian tour by Iggy Pop and then Steedman returned to the Celibate Rifles. He was replaced by Richard Jakimyszyn on guitar (ex-Lime Spiders). This version of the New Christs issued two singles, "Like a Curse" (April 1984) and "Born out of Time" (April 1986), on Citadel Records. McFarlane felt they were "consummate, guitar-driven, hard rock". AllMusic's Jack Rabid reviewed "Like a Curse", as being "more slam-bang rock with great rhythm from a man who has it coursing in his bones." The group's music was used on the soundtrack of the feature film, Going Down (1983). This line-up of the New Christs broke up in May 1984.In June <mask>, Masuak and Robertson all joined rock group, the Screaming Tribesmen, which was re-established by founding mainstay, Mick Medew on guitar and lead vocals. Hoodoo Gurus

In August 1984 <mask> left New Christs to join the Hoodoo Gurus, a rock new wave group, for their first United States tour. This reunited him with former bandmates, Bramley and Shepherd, alongside Hoodoo Gurus' founding mainstay, Dave Faulkner on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards. <mask> replaced founding drummer James Baker. Baker later told Sylvester Fox of Groove Magazine, "'They just sacked me.' So there's nothing mysterious about it? 'No no!!'What were the reasons given? 'Musical differences.'" Following the band's US tour they returned to Australia and recorded their second studio album, Mars Needs Guitars!, for which <mask> co-wrote the title track with the other members of the band, including Baker. The track also appeared as the B-side to the album's first single, "Bittersweet". Their next two albums are Blow Your Cool! in 1987 and Magnum Cum Louder in 1989. <mask> is attributed as a co-writer on the second single taken from Magnum Cum Louder, "Axegrinder", which peaked at No.60 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The band released another three studio albums, Kinky in 1991, Crank in 1994 and Blue Cave in 1996. In 1997 the group announced their forthcoming disbandment, they undertook a final three-month Australian tour, which commenced in October 1997 and finished in January 1998. In July 1998 the band's label, Mushroom Records issued a live album, Bite the Bullet, containing tracks that had been recorded during the band's farewell tour. This included a short instrumental, "It's Kingsy Time", written and performed by <mask>. In September 2001, the four ex-Gurus (Faulkner, Grossman, <mask> and Shepherd) performed as The Moops, and were later called Persian Rugs. As the Persian Rugs they recorded a five-track EP, Mr. Tripper.In June 2002, Grossman left, and was replaced by bassist Kendall James (ex Thurston Howlers, Crusaders). The new line-up of the Persian Rugs recorded their debut album, Turkish Delight, which was released in August 2003. In early 2003 Hoodoo Gurus reformed and in the following March they released their eighth studio album, Mach Schau, undertaking tours of Australia, Europe and the United States. It wasn't until March 2010 that they released their next album Purity of Essence. Hoodoo Gurus iconic status on the Australian rock scene was acknowledged when they were inducted into the 2007 ARIA Hall of Fame. In January 2015 the band announced that <mask> would be retiring from the band – thirty one years after joining. His last performances were in May 2015, at the Be My Guru – Evolution Revolution concerts at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum as part of the Vivid Festival.According to Faulkner, <mask> left because "he feels he's had enough of this vagabond rock 'n' roll lifestyle we all lead. Though he still enjoys playing drums, <mask> has completely lost his appetite for the endless travelling and the many hours of hotel room boredom. The physical demands of playing the drums as energetically as he does are also exacting a higher toll on his body than ever before." He was replaced in the group by Nik Rieth. <mask> briefly returned to Hoodoo Gurus in March 2016, he temporarily replaced Rieth for their Day of the Green tour. Personal life

<mask>'s younger brother, Richard is the musical director at the Australian youth radio, Triple J.

<mask> was married to Catherine, a fabric artist based in Maitland, New South Wales. The pair had met in 1978 and had one child together.They subsequently divorced, Catherine declared "we are still friends. A marriage is just really hard to keep together when you're not together, but we never had a falling out or anything like that.”

In mid-1996 <mask> injured himself, two weeks into the start of Hoodoo Gurus' Blue Cave Tour; he had leapt up from his drum kit and toppled backwards. He tore tendons and nerves in his left arm, which required surgery before he could rejoin the group and resume their tour. Discography

title: Pan Jun

texts:
<mask> (died 239), courtesy name Chengming, was a minister and military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Originally a minor official serving under the warlords Liu Biao and later Liu Bei in Jing Province, <mask> reluctantly switched allegiance to another warlord Sun Quan after Sun Quan seized control of Liu Bei's territories in Jing Province in 220. While serving under Sun Quan, <mask> held military commands and quelled a rebellion. After Sun Quan became emperor in 229, he appointed <mask> as Minister Steward and later Minister of Ceremonies. During this time, <mask> joined the general Lü Dai in suppressing a rebellion by indigenous tribes in his native Wuling Commandery (around present-day Changde, Hunan). He also oversaw civil and military affairs in Wuchang (present-day Ezhou, Hubei) alongside the general Lu Xun. In the 230s, he repeatedly spoke up against Lü Yi's abuses of power and even planned to assassinate him.Throughout his life, <mask> was known for being a man of bold character and an honest official who strictly and fairly upheld the law without fearing how others would see him. Early life and career
<mask> was born in Hanshou County (), Wuling Commandery (), which is located northeast of present-day Changde, Hunan, towards the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. After he reached adulthood around the age of 20, he studied under the tutelage of the scholar Song Zhong (宋忠; also known as Song Zhongzi 宋仲子). He was known for being intelligent, observant, and capable of providing well-thought and well-reasoned responses to questions. Wang Can, one of the "Seven Scholars of Jian'an", once said that <mask> was an extraordinary talent. After receiving such high praise from a famous intellectual like Wang Can, <mask> became more well known in his home commandery. The Administrator of Wuling Commandery appointed him as an Officer of Merit () to serve in the commandery office.Before <mask> reached the age of 29, Liu Biao, the Governor of Jing Province (covering present-day Hubei and Hunan), recruited him to serve as an Assistant Officer () in Jiangxia Commandery (江夏郡; around present-day Xinzhou District, Wuhan, Hubei). At the time, the Chief of Shaxian County (沙羨縣; around present-day Wuchang District, Wuhan, Hubei), which was under Jiangxia Commandery, was notorious for his corruption. <mask> conducted an investigation, found him guilty of corruption, and had him executed according to the law. His actions stunned everyone in Jiangxia Commandery. <mask> was later reassigned to Xiangxiang County to serve as the county's Prefect (). He gained a reputation for good governance during his tenure. Service under Liu Bei
Around late 209, when the warlord Liu Bei became the Governor of Jing Province, he appointed <mask> to serve as an Assistant Officer in the Headquarters Office ().Between 212 and 214, when Liu Bei was away on a campaign to seize control of Yi Province (covering present-day Sichuan and Chongqing) from its governor Liu Zhang, he left <mask> behind to assist his general Guan Yu in guarding his territories in Jing Province and overseeing daily affairs. Between November 219 and February 220, Liu Bei's ally Sun Quan broke the Sun–Liu alliance and ordered his general Lü Meng to lead a stealth invasion of Liu Bei's territories in Jing Province while Guan Yu was away at the Battle of Fancheng. After failing to take Fancheng, Guan Yu returned to Jing Province only to find out that Lü Meng had conquered his key bases in Gong'an County and Nan Commandery (南郡; around present-day Jingzhou, Hubei). While attempting to retreat to Yi Province to join Liu Bei, Guan Yu was captured in an ambush and executed by Sun Quan's forces. Service under Sun Quan

Joining Sun Quan
After Sun Quan conquered Liu Bei's territories in Jing Province, most of the officials there agreed to surrender and serve under him. <mask>, however, claimed that he was ill, stayed at home and refused to get out of bed. Sun Quan then sent his servants to Pan Jun's residence and carry his bed over with him lying on it.As <mask> lay face down, crying and sobbing in a disconsolate manner, Sun Quan comforted him and told him: "Chengming, in the past, Guan Dingfu was a captive from Ruo, yet King Wu appointed him as a military commander; Peng Zhongshuang was a captive from Shen, yet King Wen appointed him as prime minister. Although these two famous men were initially captives from other states, the kings of Chu still employed them and gave them the opportunity to leave their names in history as great statesmen of Chu. Are you not willing to surrender and join me because you think I am not as magnanimous as these kings of ancient times?" Sun Quan then ordered his servants to use a piece of cloth to wipe away the tears from <mask>'s face. <mask> got out of bed, knelt down and agreed to surrender and serve under Sun Quan. Sun Quan then appointed him as an Attendant Official at Headquarters () and often consulted him on affairs related to Jing Province. Some time later, Sun Quan commissioned <mask> as General of the Household Who Assists the Army () and put him in command of troops.Quelling a rebellion in Wuling Commandery
In early 220, Fan Zhou (), a former official in Wuling Commandery (武陵郡; around present-day Changde, Hunan), which used to be under Liu Bei's control, incited the indigenous tribes in Wuling to rebel against Sun Quan. When Sun Quan's other subjects said that they needed at least 10,000 troops to suppress the rebellion, Sun Quan rejected their idea and asked <mask> for his opinion. When <mask> said that 5,000 troops would suffice, Sun Quan asked him, "What makes you so confident?" <mask> replied: "Fan Zhou is from an old clan in Nanyang Commandery. Although he has a way with words, he doesn't have the talents of an orator. I know this because Fan Zhou once said that he would prepare a day-long feast for the folks in the commandery, but the food never showed up by midday so about ten people got up and left. This is like seeing through a dwarf's lies about his true height."Sun Quan laughed and accepted <mask>'s suggestion. <mask> led 5,000 troops to deal with Fan Zhou and succeeded in eliminating him and quelling the rebellion. As a reward for his success, <mask> was promoted to General of Vehement Might () and enfeoffed as the Marquis of Changqian Village (). When Rui Xuan () died, <mask> took over command of his troops and moved to the garrison at Xiakou (夏口; in present-day Wuhan, Hubei). As Minister Steward and Minister of Ceremonies
In 229, after Sun Quan declared himself emperor of the state of Eastern Wu (or simply Wu), he appointed <mask> as Minister Steward () and elevated him from the status of a village marquis to a county marquis under the title "Marquis of Liuyang" (). <mask> was soon promoted to Minister of Ceremonies () and stationed in Wuchang (武昌; present-day Ezhou, Hubei). Around March or April 231, the indigenous tribes living in Wuxi (五谿; literally "five streams"; referring to an area around present-day Huaihua, Hunan) rebelled against Wu rule, Sun Quan granted <mask> acting imperial authority and ordered him to supervise the general Lü Dai as he led 50,000 troops to pacify the rebellion.During this time, <mask> ensured that promises were kept, and rewards and punishments were given out fairly. By December 234, the rebellion ended with over 10,000 rebels killed or taken captive. The indigenous tribes also became so drastically weakened that they could not rebel again in a long time. At the end of the four-year-long campaign, around December 234 or January 235, <mask> returned to Wuchang, where he was previously stationed. When he was in Wuchang, he and the Wu general Lu Xun were in charge of civil and military affairs in Jing Province. Attempting to assassinate Lü Yi
Sometime the 230s, Sun Quan appointed Lü Yi as the supervisor of the bureau in charge of auditing and reviewing the work of all officials throughout Wu. The bureau essentially functioned like a modern secret service and served as a precursor to the censorate of later Chinese dynasties.Lü Yi freely abused his powers by falsely accusing many officials of serious offences, resulting in some of them being wrongfully arrested, imprisoned and tortured. His victims included the Imperial Chancellor Gu Yong and the general Zhu Ju. Lü Yi initially wanted to make a case against Gu Yong for incompetence and ask Sun Quan to remove him from office. However, after an official Xie Gong () reminded him that <mask>, the Minister of Ceremonies, would most likely succeed Gu Yong as Imperial Chancellor, Lü Yi immediately dropped the case against Gu Yong. This was because he knew that <mask> resented him and would take action against him if he became Imperial Chancellor. <mask> managed to seek permission from Sun Quan to leave his post at Wuchang (武昌; present-day Ezhou, Hubei) and return to the Wu imperial capital, Jianye (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu). Although he wanted to speak up about Lü Yi's abuses of power, he decided to take matters into his own hands after seeing that Sun Quan paid no attention to the crown prince Sun Deng, who had already voiced concerns to his father about Lü Yi on numerous occasions.He pretended to host a banquet, invited all his colleagues to attend, and hoped to use the opportunity to assassinate Lü Yi, whom he regarded as a threat to the Eastern Wu state. Lü Yi caught wind of <mask>'s plan, so he lied that he was ill and did not show up. Despite his failure to assassinate Lü Yi, <mask> did not stop speaking up about Lü Yi's wicked deeds every time he had an opportunity to meet Sun Quan. Over time, Lü Yi fell out of Sun Quan's trust and favour, and his abuses of power eventually came to light in 238. Sun Quan removed him from office, ordered Gu Yong to thoroughly investigate his crimes, and had him executed. After the Lü Yi scandal was over, Sun Quan sent an apology to all his senior officials for not heeding their advice and urging them to point out his mistakes. Death
<mask> died in 239.His son, <mask> (), inherited his peerage and became the next Marquis of Liuyang (). Family
<mask>'s daughter married Sun Quan's second son, Sun Lü, the Marquis of Jianchang. <mask> had two sons: <mask> () and <mask> (). The elder son, <mask>, had the courtesy name Wenlong (). He was commissioned as a Cavalry Commandant () and held command of troops but died early. The younger son, <mask>, married a half-sister of Sun Quan and served as the Prefect of Xiangxiang County. There was one Xi Wen () from Xiangyang who served as the Grand Rectifier (大公平; a.k.a.大中正) of Jing Province. <mask> once visited Xi Wen and asked him: "My late father once said that you would become the Grand Rectifier of this province. His prediction came true. Who do you think will succeed you?" Xi Wen replied: "None other than you." <mask> later rose to the position of Supervisor of the Masters of Writing () and eventually succeeded Xi Wen as the Grand Rectifier of Jing Province. Anecdotes

Dissuading Sun Quan from hunting pheasants
Sun Quan was fond of hunting pheasants but <mask> advised him against it.Sun Quan asked him: "Why is it that after the last time we parted ways, you no longer enjoy hunting pheasants now as much as you did?" <mask> replied: "The Empire has yet to be pacified. There are so many things to do. Pheasant hunting is not something urgent. However, if bows and bowstrings get damaged during hunting, that will become a big problem (because we need bows to be functional in wartime). I hope that Your Majesty will stop hunting pheasants for the sake of your subjects." He then destroyed his own parasol, which was made from pheasant feathers.Sun Quan then stopped and never went pheasant hunting again. Advising Sun Quan to deny Bu Zhi permission to recruit soldiers
Between 226 and 230, when the Wu general Bu Zhi was stationed at Oukou (漚口; in present-day Changsha, Hunan), he wrote to Sun Quan to seek permission to recruit men from the various commanderies in southern Jing Province to serve in the Wu army. When Sun Quan sought <mask>'s opinion on this issue, the latter said: "When overbearing generals are given access to the common people, they will cause harm and chaos to them. Bu Zhi's fame comes from the flattery and exaggeration by people around him. Your Majesty shouldn't approve his request." Sun Quan heeded <mask>'s advice. Executing Xu Zong for lawless behaviour
There was one Xu Zong () from Yuzhang Commandery (豫章郡; around present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi) who served as a general under Sun Quan.Xu Zong was a friend of Kong Rong and was well known among the literati. When he visited Jianye (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu, the Wu imperial capital, he allowed his subordinates to behave lawlessly and do as they please. <mask>, who was known for strictly upholding the law without worrying about how others would see him, ordered Xu Zong to be arrested and executed for breaking the law. Stopping his son from associating with Yin Fan
Yin Fan (), an official who used to serve Wu's rival state Wei before defecting to Wu, was well-acquainted with many Wu officials because he was a good speaker. <mask>'s son, <mask> (), befriended him and even sent him gifts. When <mask> found out, he was so furious that he wrote a letter to his son as follows: "I have received grace from the State, therefore I should make it my mission to do my best to serve the State. When a young man like you comes to the Imperial Capital, you should behave in a respectful and humble manner, and seek to build ties with people who are known for their virtues and wisdom.Why do you choose to associate yourself with a defector from our rival state and even send him gifts? I may be far away from the Imperial Capital now, but I was very shocked, angry and worried when I heard about what you did. After you read this letter, I want you to ask the authorities to flog you 100 times as a punishment, and I want you to take back the gifts from Yin Fan." At the time, many people felt surprised by <mask>'s response and thought that he was too harsh with his son. However, after Yin Fan was executed for rebelling against Wu later, everyone became convinced that <mask> was right to stop his son from associating with Yin Fan. Alleged secret dealings with Jiang Wan
An uncle of <mask> married a sister of Jiang Wan, a senior official of Wu's ally state Shu. In March or April 231, Wei Jing (), the Wu-appointed Administrator of Wuling Commandery (武陵郡; around present-day Changde, Hunan), reported to Sun Quan that <mask> had been secretly making contact with Jiang Wan with the intention of defecting to Shu.After reading Wei Jing's report, Sun Quan remarked, "Chengming won't do this." He then sealed Wei Jing's report and showed it to <mask>. At the same time, he removed Wei Jing from office and recalled him to Jianye (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu), the Wu imperial capital. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms
<mask> appears as a minor character in the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which romanticises the historical events before and during the Three Kingdoms period. In the novel, Guan Yu leaves <mask> behind to guard Liu Bei's territories in Jing Province while he is away at the Battle of Fancheng. Before he left, Wang Fu tries to dissuade him from putting <mask> in charge, saying that <mask> is a selfish and jealous person. He recommends the frontline supply officer Zhao Lei (), saying that Zhao Lei is loyal and honest and they will have nothing to worry about if Zhao Lei is in charge.Guan Yu, however, says that he knows <mask>'s character well and refuses to replace <mask> with Zhao Lei since it is too troublesome to change their assignments. He also tells Wang Fu that he is overly suspicious. See also

<mask> <mask> discovered this temple in 1960. He used to meditate at Kal Bhairav and strongly driven by divine impulse he reached to Shipra River to wash his hands.A saint sitting at bank of river told <mask> that he was waiting for him told him to walk on north side of river. Walking on his own destiny in the jungle around bank of Shipra, on soggy ground he reached to deserted place at a time when darkness was all over, no later <mask> stood in front of now known as Vikrant Bhairav idol, deeply covered in mud. He scratched, uncovered hard mud coat and unveiled the idol of current Vikrant Bhairav. Eventually, the image of Vikrant Bhairav gradually appeared before <mask> <mask> who stood with folded hands for some time. He then filled an earthen lamp with oil, lit it, placed a few roses and lighted a bunch of incense sticks. A shudder of awe ran through <mask> <mask> who left the mysterious place charged with a feeling of happiness, joy, pleasure and surprise at having reached the place of his dream. Honor with '<mask>'
In year 1960, on windy night during Diwali festival.<mask> went to light up earthen lamp before the image of Vikrant Bhairavji and immediately left the awe-inspiring solitary place. As air was blowing strongly, he turned back to see if the lamp was still burning and <mask> <mask> was astonished to notice that the whole area was brightly lit up with hundreds of earthen lamps and the image of Vikrant Bhairavji was radiantly shining. It was a terrifying experience for <mask> <mask> who couldn't believe his eyes. He moved fast to the temple of Kaal Bhairav where a person was sitting. <mask> <mask> narrated him everything and both of them returned to the river bank to witness the same sight. The old man was the first person to touch the feet of <mask> <mask> and addressed him 'BABA'.

Management career

Early management career
After he retired, Bayi Football Team offered <mask> a chance to rejoin them and coach them for a short period, however his presence within the team was unable to lift them from a spending much of the season near the bottom of the league. With Shaanxi Guoli, Jia managed a newly formed team starting at the bottom of the Chinese league system and would lead them to promotion to the second tier in the 1997 league season. This caught the attention of the Chinese Football Association and offered him the China national under-17 football team, however his reign with them was uninspired and the team were unable to qualify for any major tournaments. Chinese youth teams
In 2000 Shanghai Shenhua were willing to give Jia a chance to join them as a trainer before Bayi asked Jia to join them again. Once again he spent much of his time trying to keep Bayi in the top tier of the league system. However, despite achieving this he left them at the end of the 2002 league season where they finished a disappointing 13th.<mask> would later accept a position for the China national under-23 football team however this was short lived and he resigned in February 2004. Once again he took another training position with Shanghai but because English Head Coach Howard Wilkinson resigned before the start of the beginning of the league season Jia acted as the head coach through the majority of the season, Shanghai ultimately ended the season finishing 10th. In 2005 <mask> returned to the Chinese under-23 team as a permanent manager to compete for the Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament. Shanghai Shenhua
At the beginning of the 2008 league season Henan Jianye offered Jia the chance to manage them in the top tier, Jia took this position but had a poor start to the season and was replaced with Acácio Casimiro. In September 2008 Jia was again offered the chance to manage Shanghai Shenhua, this time on a permanent basis and took Shanghai to second in the league. At the end of the 2009 <mask> was dismissed by the club again after a disappointing season with the team ranking 5th. Later he was reported to be arrested for receiving bribes during his stint at Chinese youth team.Allegations of match-fixing
On 20 January 2010, <mask> was arrested and questioned on allegations of match-fixing during his tenures with Shaanxi Guoli and the Chinese youth teams. His character would be questioned by the Chinese media and old stories about his coaching abilities, his cozy relationship with the Chinese FA,  criticisms from former players and staff as well as his willingness to allow Shanghai Shenhua's chairman Zhu Jun's to interference on team management would all be recycled during his arrest. On 21 January 2010 Chinese FA member Yang Yimin was also arrested on allegations of match-fixing. The allegations against each men would expose an extremely close friendship between <mask> and Yang Yimin especially during their time working with each other with the Chinese youth teams. On 4 March 2010, <mask> was released from prison and had all allegations against him dropped. Yang Yimin would later be found guilty for his involvement in a match-fixing ring that saw him sentenced to 10 years in prison on 18 February 2012. Henan <mask>e

<mask> (also known as <mask>; 1877, Moscow, Russian Empire – 1928, St. Petersburg, Russia) – a professional circus athlete, weight lifter, belt wrestler. Biography

In 1894, the family moved to St. Petersburg, where, at the age of 17, <mask> became involved in physical exercises, first independently, then began to work in the circle of Dr. V. F. Krayevsky and under his leadership. In 1895, came to work in the Izmailovo Garden – Park of St. Petersburg, where visiting circus artists broke up their cloth tents. <mask> worked in a circus in the arena, which he himself kept and where he organized his shows: entering the arena with numbers to raise or hold heavy objects. In the circus, he performed such tricks as: a flip and a double-weights wheel, one in each hand, carrying a piano circus arena with a taper (musician) on the back, holding a platform with an orchestra on his chest, pressed two two-poop weights with his right hand, carried a live horse on his shoulders and others. Here, <mask> also competed in the “belt-wrestling”, shifted all the fighters, except for the butcher, from the Ligovsky market of Trusov, Which only V. A. Pytlyasinsky could beat. Then in the Ciniselli Circus there were strongmen: the Estonian Besberg, the Warsaw Vasilevsky, the Austrian Paller, Robyn, Pytlyasinsky, Emil Foss (Stetten, Germany), the Bulgarian Nikola Petrov and <mask>.In 1895, on September 8, he broke the record of athlete-artist N. I. Kravchenko in an exercise with hands, lifting a weight of 330 pounds (135 kg) against 310 (127 kg). In 1896, in St. Petersburg, a strongman, a wrestler and a major horse breeder, Count G. I. Ribopier, headed the voluntary athletic society, bringing together many like-minded people in one place. In the same year he put Pytlyasinsky himself on the shoulder blades. In 1897, on February 20, at the age of 20, he set a world record, surpassing Hans Beck in a push of a bar with both hands at the same time 386 pounds (158 kg). In 1898 the circus of the Truzzi brothers arrived in Voronezh. There were only a few people in Russia and everyone was looked upon as a “miracle”, mostly “overseas”, therefore the first athlete in Voronezh, <mask>, speaking under the pseudonym Williams Moor-<mask>”. Since all the strongmen were mainly from abroad, then for greater significance and advertising, fashion appeared among local strongmen to perform under foreign pseudonyms to attract attention and <mask> chose to nickname William Moore-Znamensky.The first to dare to oppose the “demigod” was a simple peasant from the Voronezh Governorate of Zemlyansky district — Ryabov P. I. (1858–10) nicknamed Pronya Martynovsky or just Pronya. The Directorate of the Circus of the Italian Brothers Truzzi organized a fight between Pronia and Moor-Znamensky athletes. Pronya and Moor-Znamensky finished in a draw and Truzzi discharged the Italian wrestler Saint Pappi to Voronezh, with whom there was also a fight in a draw, and Proni’s performance with Emil Foss ended the same way. At the end of the performances of the strong men, the circus went to the city of Kozlov, where Moor-Znamensky called on all fans to contend with him. Ribopier ordered Pronya from Voronezh to Kozlov, he arrived and firmly laid Moor-Znamensky on his shoulder blades. Soon, Pronya himself became a professional wrestler and himself already called for amateurs to compete with him.At that time, amateurs often competed with professionals and this was an everyday affair, and professionals were not averse to testing the possibilities of newbies, since there was not much to compete with. In Kozlov, in the arena of a crowded circus, there was a scandal between Pronya and <mask> during a performance: Pronya left from the attacks of <mask>, not engaging in battle for a long time, and <mask> defiantly became sideways to the enemy, raising his hands up and was defeated . After waiting a moment, Pronya grabbed his rival with a belt and threw it onto the shoulder blades, scoring a technical victory, which was discussed in the newspapers for a long time. <mask> in a rage for this “victory” hit Pronius, the police soon intervened; the same night, <mask> left the city of Kozlov (now Michurinsk, Tambov Oblast) and the scandal soon subsided. Soon in St. Petersburg, the Trusov butcher became famous, trading in the Ligovsky market during the day, and in the evenings he fought in circuses. Thus, the first generation of Russian professional wrestlers emerged, formed from amateur athletes. At the end of the XIX century, many Russian athletes showed the results of the world's strongest weightlifters, among whom were Williams Moor-<mask> and Sergey Morro-Dmitriev (Sergey Dmitriev, 1882-1928).In 1899, the censorship committee approved for publication the manuscript of the fundamental work “Catechism of Health” of Krajewski, written on the basis of the experience of the successful athletes of Pavel Stupin, Peter Krylov and <mask>. In 1901, on March 5 (February 20), he set a new record in the push of two weights with two hands at the same time weighing 155 kg and 154 kg in the presence of members of the St. Petersburg Athletic Society. In the same year, on August 11, international wrestling competitions were held in Riga, by Augustus Neyland, director of the variety theater “Olympia” with the restaurant Schnelles Variete, in which Znamensky was awarded the title of champion of the Baltic provinces. Performed Alex Aberg, Georg Lurich and others. Later, on October 25, wrestling competitions were held in the circus of G. Schwanguradze in the town of Libave (now Liepaja), in which professionals and amateurs took part, where everyone could test their strength in the arena; then the term "semi-professional" appeared. Professionals <mask>, Georg Lurikh, Alex Aberg, Paul Abs, Nikola Petrov, Johan Kanep (under the pseudonym Dicky Isand), Pole Franz Benkovsky (under the pseudonym Cyclop), Robine and 11 lovers, including the Latvian Burgmeister, who later became famous Ivan, took part. Romanov, a member of the Sevastopol defense.Since 1902, Moor-Znamensky became involved in wrestling competitions. In 1914, in March in the All-Russian sports magazine "Hercules", published in St. Petersburg, an article was published on the development of sports in Voronezh at the beginning of the 20th century. The article is based on the story “Sport in Voronezh (1893 – 1914)” about popular sports in the largest city of the Central Chernozem Region, which athlete-athlete Nikolai Grigorievich Belotelov, one of the first organizers and leaders of football in the Mikhailovsky Voronezh Cadet Corps, passed to the editor. I. V. Lebedev in his album "The Fighters" described Znamensky so:

Weightlifting historian A. A. Sukhanov wrote about the Moor-Znamensky, as well as S. Eliseev, in a 1987 edition of the illustrated weekly magazine Cyclist, published in Moscow since 1895: “One of the strongest professionals in the world, Russian Strongman Moore (Znamensky) has 406 pounds (166.26 kg) in the push with both hands... ”. “Moor-Znamensky has two 406 pounds in the push and two 8 pounds 10 pounds (135.13 kg) in the press. One of the first-class weight-lifters, not only in Russia, but also in the world... Korifey of Russian athletic sports "(from the article by Chaplinsky, Russian Sport magazine, 1911)

<mask> Ribopier will later mark <mask> as one of the professional Russian wrestlers of the first generation, along with athletes such as: Georg Lurikh, a former Volga hookster Ivan Zaikin, Peter Yankovsky, Zamukov, Stupin, Lukin, Snezhkin, Ivan Poddubny and "King of weights" – Muscovite Peter Krylov.In 1917, because of a dislocation in the knee joint, <mask> left the arena and got a job as an assistant police chief in Moscow. In 1928, at the age of fifty-eight, he died, retaining his excellent physical form until his death. References

In January 2014, he was appointed as first-team coach at Conference Premier club Chester by manager Steve Burr.He took over as caretaker manager with Ian Sharps as assistant after Burr was sacked on 7 April 2016, and after three wins from four matches that ensured Chester's survival in the National League, signed a one-year contract as permanent manager in May.

<mask> (21 February 1884 – 1 November 1954) was a German stage designer, painter and sculptor. Life

<mask> was born in Cologne the son of the authorised agent Heinrich W<mask> and his wife <mask>, née Röhr. He first attended schools in Recklinghausen and Cologne and then studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, the Universität der Künste Berlin and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München. In Düsseldorf, where he studied from 1900 to 1903, Peter Janssen and Willy Spatz were his teachers. From 1907, <mask> lived again in his home town, where he worked under Max Martersteig and his conductor Otto Lohse on the decoration of the Bühnen der Stadt Köln and as a sculptor. Martersteig had seen <mask>'s etching Tor der Phantasie. Contact then arose through Lohse's wife, in whose salon the theatre world from Germany and other countries met.Wildermann then participated in the 1911 Opera Festival and the following year took part in the Cologne Sonderbund exhibition, where he created the group of figures "Young Man with Pony" and "Girl with Deer" for the forecourt of the exhibition hall at the Aachener Tor which later stood in the green spaces of  until World War II. In 1912 the . Until the end of the First World War, he worked mainly as a sculptor, painter and graphic artist. Somehow this doesn't really fit in anywhere, he seems to have been constantly on the move in all the arts during that time. In 1912,  brought him to the Stadttheater Essen as a guest stage designer. A year later, in 1913, he went to Munich, where he met Paul Klee. This was followed by collaborations with the Berlin Opera House, the Nationaltheater München and the Opernhaus Leipzig.In August 1919, <mask> again followed Maurach, who was now artistic director at the Städtische Bühnen Dortmund. In 1920 he then married Erna Maria Concordia Hoheisel in Berlin. When Maurach went to Nuremberg in 1922/1923, <mask> also followed him initially. However, the new Dortmund artistic director Karl Schäffer succeeded in bringing Wildermann back to Dortmund. In 1926, <mask> moved to Breslau, where he received a professorship for theatre painting at the . From 1936 he was head of the decoration department at the Wroclaw Opera House. In 1937, the National Socialists confiscated his triptych Transfiguration and declared it Degenerate Art.After the Second World War, <mask> returned to his home town of Cologne, where he last lived in Riehl, not far from the Cologne Zoological Garden. On 1 November 1954, he died in the  in the district of Lindenthal at the age of 70. His marriage produced a daughter, Angelika. Wildermann and National Socialism
Already in the 1920s, Wildermann had a deep friendship with the nationalist and, since 1933, national-socialist Regensburg music book publisher Gustav Bosse. Bosse had him illustrate the Almanach der Deutschen Musikbücherei (1920-1927) extensively and dedicated a separate publishing line to him, Hans-Wildermann-Werke, in which almost the entire graphic work had already appeared in 1923. Wildermann cut the Anton Bruckner Medal of the International Bruckner Society in 1936 on the occasion of the unveiling of Anton Bruckner's bust in the Valhalla on 6 June 1937; a commission that once again emanated from Bosse. In 1942, he illustrated the book Italian Poetry from Dante to Mussolini - An Anthology (Gauverlag-NS-Silesia), and in the same year was honoured with Siegmund Skraup's book Die Oper als lebendiges Theater by illustrating 35 stage sets.His illustrations for Die Schildbürger appeared in the  for the 63,000th time in 1942. For his 60th birthday in 1944, the magazine published  – Organ of the Office of Music at the Fuehrer's Commissioner for the Supervision of All Spiritual and Ideological Training and Education of the NSDAP the homage by Carl Niessen <mask> als Bühnenbildner (issue 1, ). Achievements
<mask> began his career during the economically difficult period of the Weimar Republic. However, he used the financial bottlenecks as an opportunity and implemented new developments from painting in stage design. Instead of elaborate, decorative scenery, he used simple shapes and achieved desired effects with colours and lighting. In addition to his work as a stage designer, <mask> always worked as a sculptor, painter and graphic artist. The Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte in Dortmund, dedicated a place to him in its permanent exhibition.The "Werkfolge" of <mask>'s works published in 1933 by , curator and deputy director of the Silesian Museum of Applied Arts and Antiquities at Breslau, comprises 589 titles. Among them are 72 paintings and 60 sculptures. Work
