Group Captain <mask> (22 August 1902 – 10 December 1985) was an RAF officer, short-story writer and duck-breeder, creating the Welsh Harlequin Duck, the only true Welsh duck breed. Early life
<mask> was born 1902 in Watford, Hertfordshire, England. His father was a bank manager in London's Chancery Lane; his mother was one of the Dudleys, a Staffordshire farming family He succeeded in winning a scholarship to Watford Boys Grammar School, from where he proceeded to St Catharine's College, Cambridge University, in 1920. He studied English and Law, obtaining a double first in 1923. In the depressed 1920s, graduates were a glut on the market and he took a job selling "Watford" chocolates in Norfolk. He also stood as a Liberal parliamentary candidate in Watford but lost by a small number of votes. Pre-war years
Bonnet worked for the Bank of England for 15 years.In 1928, he married his first wife, Getrude Olive May, and had his first child, Bill, in 1930. In 1935, he was appointed the first full-time editor of the staff magazine – The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street Under his editorship, it became "a lively, absorbing journal of 200 sleek pages...packed with banking lore, poetry, literary articles, short stories and urbane correspondence, eagerly awaited and read by bankers all over the world." The December issues of the magazine became referred to as: "Uncle <mask>’s Bumper Christmas Annuals" During this period, he also published the Honorary Secretary's Guide (1938). In 1938 he joined the Balloon Barrage, the only military service opened to someone at his advanced age. On 1 May 1939 he left the Bank and was appointed an acting pilot officer, second in command of E flight of 908 Squadron, Bethnal Green, one of the ten squadrons of barrage balloons in 30 Group of Balloon Command. He was quickly promoted to Flying Officer and then Flight Lieutenant. War years
In late autumn of 1939, Bonnet was posted to 30 Group Headquarters in Charlotte near the Middlesex Hospital as one of three Squadron Leader Operations Officers who operated the Balloons and next to 902 Squadron, Blackheath.Late in 1940, he was posted as second in command to 905, the West End Squadron. His next posting was to RAF Bomber Command, Cottesmore, as adjutant. He returned to 30 Group, which was at this time based in Chessington, in 1941. By this time he was Squadron Leader Air, with responsibility for balloon operations, under Wing Commander Barnes. He was given responsibility for the 450 London balloons, for the movement of the numerous extra squadrons of them that they were assembling and seconding overseas; and for the planning and siting of any new barrages that were established at home. Another responsibility was the Channel Convoy; each ship in the convoy flew a balloon from its stern. In 1942, he was abruptly sent to the RAF Staff College in Gerrards Cross as a student, where he finished top of his class.At the beginning of 1943, he was posted to Stradishall Bomber Base in Suffolk as a Wing Commander where he spent 5 months as the administrative second in command. At this time, he divorced his first wife, Getrude Olive May, and married Joan Hutt, whom he had originally met when she exhibited at the Bank of England. Chinese mission
Later in 1943, he was asked by Group Captain "Daddy" Dawes (Head of Officers Postings at Bomber Command) and Air Marshal Saundby to be part of an RAF Training Mission to Chengtu in China under Air Vice Marshal Pattinson. The aim of the mission was to train the Chinese Air Force to operate as an independent service, rather than a branch of the Army as previously. Unofficially, the Chinese invited the British to counteract the influence of the Americans, who were establishing themselves in China in strength. Bonnet worked hard to improve the administration of the service – when he arrived, he found that their filing system consisted of only one file entitled "General Matters". He learnt Chinese and became a great enthusiast for traditional Chinese drama."At first the Chinese gave him the name 'Pa-nai' (the industrious professor) but soon this was changed to 'Pa-na-ta' (he who is susceptible to every moral influence)" The Mission eventually succeeded in making the Chinese Air Force an effective fighting Force; however, it later deserted to the Communist forces. Bonnet was also briefly captain of the Chinese Air Force football team. Staff college
Its work completed, the RAF mission returned to the UK in 1944. On a British aerodrome, the Chinese Ambassador to London awarded Bonnet the rare Order of the Cloud and Banner with Special Rosette "for distinguished services to China" With the rank of Group Captain, <mask> took up duties as director of studies at the RAF Staff College at Gerrards Cross until demobilisation in October 1947. He was offered the permanent post of adjutant to the Staff College with the peacetime rank of Wing Commander, which he declined. Short story writer
In 1949, <mask> and his wife and family, along with 1,500 ducks and two dogs, moved to Criccieth in North Wales, where they had bought a ramshackle manor house with about 25 acres. They had 5 children including Lesley (b.1944), Villette (b. 1945), Alice (b. 1947), Caroline (b. 1948) and Tom (b. 1950) and later numerous grandchildren. He also published plays, such as The Nine Fathers (1970), which won the Maynard Cup at the Wales Final Festival of One Act Plays in 1969, as well as books such as Chinese Fairy Tales (1958). The children's book The Terrible Nung Guama (1978) was a retelling of one of his stories.He also acted for a time as area representative of a large unit trust company and in 1963 was acting Hon Secretary, Council for the Preservation of Rural Wales, Caernarvonshire Branch. Originator of the Welsh Harlequin Duck
While in Criccieth, <mask> had the time to further develop his interest in duck breeding. He created a new duck breed, the Welsh Harlequin, from a colour mutation from a flock of Khaki Campbells. It is the only true Welsh breed of duck. <mask> later created the Whalesbury Duck, a cross between an Aylesbury Duck and a Welsh Harlequin. As a result of his work with ducks, Bonnet wrote the book Practical Duck Keeping (1960), which was regarded as the "bible" of duck-keeping and is still in use even today. The British Waterfowl Association present a prize in his honour every year to someone who has made an outstanding contribution to British waterfowl.Memorials
<mask> died in December 1985, aged 83. He is buried in Criccieth Cemetery and there is woodland named in his honour close to Ymwlch, as well as a memorial bench on Garth Pier, Bangor. He was described in his obituary as a "countryman...rubicund, well-fleshed but never flabby, and abounding with energy". References

<mask> (born 22 November 1983) is an English football coach and former player who is currently an assistant coach for the Newcastle United U23 team. Ramage began his career with Newcastle United as an academy player before progressing to the first team. In the summer of 2008, he moved to London side Queens Park Rangers, thus ending his twelve-year association with Newcastle United. In 2011–12, Ramage spent time on loan at Championship clubs Crystal Palace and Birmingham City before joining Crystal Palace on a permanent contract in 2012. After Palace were promoted to the Premier League, <mask> joined Championship club Barnsley on loan in September 2013. On 3 October 2014 <mask> again joined Barnsley on a three-month loan. In May 2015, Ramage was released by Crystal Palace.He spent the 2015 Indian Super League season with Kerala Blasters before returning to England where he signed for Coventry City. Ramage moved to America, where he signed for Phoenix Rising and spent two years at the club. Ramage then announced his retirement from professional football and returned to England, where he moved to coaching. Early life
Born in Ashington, England, Ramage is the son of <mask>, a former semi-professional rugby union player and international RFU referee, who was Scotland's representative at the 2003 World Cup. He grew up in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England, but moved to the Newcastle area at the age of twelve and attended Valley Gardens Middle School and Whitley Bay High School. As a youngster, Ramage was with Cramlington Juniors, the local boys' club, and then joined the Newcastle United academy, playing alongside his Valley Gardens schoolmate Steven Taylor. Growing up, he reflected on his childhood, saying: "When I started playing football he ran one of the junior teams I played for along with one of the other lads' dads.He didn't pressure me into playing rugby because he was a top player himself. But he's encouraged me, as have the rest of my family, but my dad's been the main one. I enjoy going. I love watching rugby and I love watching my dad. It's good to get away from football some time. When I was about 4 years old. It's just where I'm from.All I did was play football. My parents were strict of me to do my education and I was good at it. But I wanted to play football full time." Ramage also grew up supporting Newcastle United. <mask> is married to his wife, Tanisha and has two children. Club career

Newcastle United
Ramage played in the same youth team as Taylor, Michael Chopra and Adam Rundle under Alan Irvine, before later being coached by former Newcastle players Kenny Wharton and <mask>. He would later partner Taylor in central defence when they broke into the first team.In the reserve team he was coached by another former United player, Tommy Craig. In March 2003, Ramage won the Jackie Milburn Trophy, given each year to the rising star of north-east football. He worked his way through Newcastle's youth system and captained the Newcastle reserve side before making his breakthrough to the first team squad. Ramage made his first team debut as a substitute in Newcastle's UEFA Cup round-of-16 match second leg against Olympiacos on 16 March 2005, winning 4–0, as the club won 7–1 on aggregate to the next round. His first league start at Old Trafford in the 2–1 defeat to Manchester United on 24 April 2005. He followed this up with several first team starts due to injuries to other defenders in the Newcastle squad. At the end of the 2004–05 season, Ramage went on to make five appearances in all competitions.On 1 June 2005, he signed a three–year contract with the club, keeping him until 2008. At the start of the 2005–06 season, Ramage found himself out of the starting eleven for Newcastle United in the first two months to the season. He made his first appearance of the season against rivals, Sunderland on 23 October 2005 and helped the club win 3–2. After the match, manager Graeme Souness said about the player: "Now Ramage has to show he can too. It's always pleasing when a young player comes through the ranks. We now know Ramage can play anywhere across the back four. Prior to Sunderland we didn't know if he could play at left-back - now we know."Ramage helped Newcastle United keep three consecutive clean sheets between 26 October 2005 and 5 November 2005. Following this, the injury to teammate Stephen Carr allowed him to play a larger number of games for the club, as he made a good impression on both Graeme Souness and Glenn Roeder, who replaced Souness as manager in early 2006. In early–January, Ramage suffered a shoulder injury, which was considered to be serious at first, but he quickly made a full recovery. Ramage then helped Newcastle United keep four clean sheets out of the club's five matches between 4 February 2006 and 25 February 2006. However, Ramage was eventually lost his first team place by April, due to his errors and was demoted to the substitute bench for the rest of the 2005–06 season. It came after when his form began to falter, including giving away a goal, losing 2–1 against Manchester United on 13 March 2006. Reflecting on his performance, local newspaper The Northern Echo said: "A centre-back by trade but solved the Magpies right-back problem by proving to be more than your average stop gap."At the end of the 2005–06 season, he was a first team regular in appearing in twenty-nine games in all competitions. Ahead of the 2006–07 season, Ramage was linked with a move to newly promoted Premier League side Watford, but Newcastle United manager Roeder said he wanted to keep him at the club. He made his first appearance of the season as a late substitute, coming against FK Ventspils in the first leg of the UEFA Cup second qualifying round, as Newcastle United won 1–0. After being dropped in the first two league matches of the season, Ramage made his first start, playing in the left–back position, and conceded a goal, in a 2–1 loss against Fulham on 9 September 2006. He played in both legs of the UEFA Cup first round against Levadia Tallinn, as Newcastle United won 3–1 to advance to the group stage of the tournament. Following his return, his playing time increased when he began to play in the left–back position. At times, Ramage rotated in playing in the centre–back position.As a result of these performances he allegedly caught the eye of former Scotland manager Walter Smith in November. Ramage was eligible to play for Scotland or England, but it turned out that his father was born in England, meaning that he was never eligible to play for the Tartan Army. However in a match against Bolton Wanderers on 26 December 2006, Ramage was at fault when he scored an own goal to give the opposition team an equalising goal, as the club lost 2–1. In a follow–up match against Everton, Ramage suffered a hamstring injury and was substituted in the 37th minute, as Newcastle United lost 3–0. After being sidelined for a week with a hamstring injury, he returned to the starting line–up against Tottenham Hotspur on 13 January 2007, playing in the right–back position, and helped the club win 3–2. However, his return was short–lived when <mask> suffered a hamstring injury in a match against West Ham United on 20 January 2007 and was substituted in the 30th minute, as Newcastle United drew 2–2. After the match, he was out for three months with a hamstring injury.It wasn't until on 5 May 2007 when he returned to the first team from injury against Blackburn Rovers and came on as a 70th-minute substitute, in a 2–0 loss. At the end of the 2006–07 season, Ramage went on to make thirty–two appearances in all competitions. Ramage only made two appearances in the 2007–08 season, both of them were substitute. However, he was hampered by injury, but also losing out to the new defensive recruits made by the then new manager Sam Allardyce. Ramage was also not to be a first choice of the next manager Kevin Keegan, who replaced Allardyce in the middle of the season. It wasn't until on 11 May 2008 when he returned from injury, coming on as later substitute, in a 3–1 loss. At the end of the 2007–08 season, Ramage went on to make three appearances in all competitions.Following this, his Newcastle contract expired at the end of the season, and despite Keegan's stated desire to retain Ramage, he was unable to guarantee first team football, therefore Ramage made the decision to move on. Queens Park Rangers
After leaving the club, Ramage subsequently signed a three-year contract with Championship side Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer on 13 May 2008. He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 win against Barnsley in the opening game of the season. Since joining Queens Park Rangers, Ramage quickly established himself in the starting line–up, playing in the centre–back position. However, he suffered an injury that saw him miss three matches. But Ramage made his return to the starting line–up against Cardiff City on 8 November 2008 and set up a goal for Gavin Mahon to score the only goal of the game, winning 1–0. After not playing for two months, Ramage made his return to the starting line–up against Doncaster Rovers on 10 March 2009, as the club lost 2–0.This was followed up by helping Queens Park Rangers keep two clean sheets in the next two matches. At the end of the 2008–09 season, he went on to make thirty–four appearances in all competitions. On the opening day of the 2009–10 season, Ramage scored his first professional goal, against Blackpool; as the club drew 1–1 and also won the Man of the Match Award. A week later on 25 August 2009, he set up a goal for Hogan Ephraim, who scored the opening goal of the game, in a 2–1 win against Accrington Stanley in the second round of the League Cup. Since the start of the 2009–10 season, <mask> found himself in and out of the starting eleven, as he was placed on the substitute bench. He then scored his second goal of the season, in a 2–2 draw against Preston North End on 27 March 2010. However, <mask> was sent–off on two occasions during the 2009–10 season, coming against Peterborough United on 6 February 2010 and Newcastle United on 2 May 2010.At the end of the 2009–10 season, he went on to make thirty–six appearances and scoring two times in all competitions. Having served Queens Park Rangers’ first two matches of the 2010–11 season, Ramage made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a 50th-minute substitute, in a 3–0 win against Sheffield United on 14 August 2010. However during a 2–2 draw against Middlesbrough on 11 September 2010, he suffered a knock, but played for the rest of the game. After the match, it was revealed that Ramage suffered a knee injury and was sidelined for the rest of the 2010–11 season. But he managed to recover and made his first appearance in seven months, coming on as a late substitute, in a 2–0 win against Watford on 30 April 2011, a win that saw the club promoted to the Premier League. In a follow–up match, <mask> made another appearance for Queens Park Rangers, also coming on as a substitute, in a 2–1 loss against Leeds United. At the end of the 2010–11 season, he went on to make four appearances in all competitions.Following this, Ramage signed a new one-year deal at Queens Park Rangers. Upon signing a contract, he said: "I always wanted to stay here and the gaffer made it clear the day I got injured that he'd give me a chance. It's now up to me to repay the faith he's shown in me. I feel I've got a point to prove and a lot to offer this football club. I’ve got to repay the gaffer. He's been good to me, now it's my turn to prove he made the right decision. Hopefully I can impress during games and give him a tough decision.I'm probably at the back of the queue but I'm mentally strong enough to try and force my way in." Upon returning to his parent club in January, Ramage appeared as an unused substitute for a match against Wigan Athletic on 21 January 2012, winning 3–1. However, by February, he was dropped from the 25 man Premier League squad and was told by the club's management of being available to a new club. At the end of the 2011–12 season, Ramage was one of eight players to be released. Loan spells

title: John Cockburn of Ormiston

texts:
<mask>,  (d. 1583) laird of Ormiston, East Lothian, Scotland, was an early supporter of the Scottish Reformation. He was the eldest son of <mask> of Ormiston and Janet Somerville. <mask> was usually called "Ormiston." During his lifetime there was also a laird of Ormiston in Teviotdale near Eckford, a member of the rival Hepburn family. A Scottish Protestant in the Rough Wooing

<mask> was a prominent Protestant and also on good terms with England, having a licence to trade there during the war of the Rough Wooing. He was pardoned for communing with the English during Lord Hertford's expedition in 1544. <mask> was tutor to one of his sons, and the Protestant preacher and martyr George Wishart was arrested by James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, the Sheriff of Haddingtonshire, at his House of Ormiston on 16 January 1546.After negotiation Bothwell took Wishart away to nearby Elphinstone Castle. Soon after on the same night, soldiers of the Governor of Scotland, Regent Arran, arrived to arrest <mask>, his nephew Sandilands of Calder, and Alexander Crichton of Brunstane. Brunstane escaped but his two companions were imprisoned at Edinburgh Castle. <mask> escaped from the castle one morning by going over the wall. <mask>, and his younger brother Ninian <mask> were amongst those accused of the murder of Cardinal David Beaton in 1546. In September 1547 he is said to have guided the English army through the Lammermuirs to the battle of Pinkie. In January 1548, William Patten published the names of <mask> and 36 other Scottish lairds and gentleman who had sworn an oath on 23 September 1547 to be loyal to Edward VI of England.<mask> and Alexander Crichton of Brunstane tried to hold three houses on behalf of Grey of Wilton, who occupied Haddington. Ormiston and Brunstane waited for an opportunity to capture Edinburgh Castle and deliver Regent Arran and the Bishop of Dunkeld to the English. They also wanted Grey of Wilton to capture and garrison the Earl of Bothwell's house at Hailes Castle. They wrote jointly to <mask>, the English commander of Broughty Castle on 17 January 1548 asking him to allow fishermen from Crail to supply them. The Governor of Scotland, Regent Arran captured the House of Ormiston. <mask> tried to defend the House of Saltoun but his men were inadequately armed. At the end of February 1548 Arran brought four cannon to Saltoun; three cut-throats mounted on carts, and a single-falcon.Five of <mask>'s men were killed in the fight, and five were captured and hanged. The Privy Council of Scotland declared him a traitor on 29 February 1548 and ordered the demolition of Ormiston House. <mask> and Crichton of Brunstane went into exile in England. On 25 March 1548, the English Privy Council gave him £65 as the King's reward for the losses in Scotland. Edward VI sent <mask> a letter reassuring him of his goodwill in March 1550, as peace was declared between Scotland and England. For his services to the Protestant cause, on 13 March 1552, Edward VI rewarded <mask> with the lands and income belonging to the Hospital of St Giles in Durham known as the Kepier Hospital. <mask> sold all these lands to the Heath family by 1564.Arrested on the border
<mask> must have found the Catholic regime of Mary Tudor less congenial, and in April 1555 he tried to return to Scotland without a passport. He was arrested by Master Norton, Captain of Norham Castle and became a prisoner of the Bishop of Durham. The English privy council was interested in his case and the 2,000 crowns cash he was rumoured to have been carrying. He was also deemed to owe £105 from the Durham Hospital, as Mary and Philip were reclaiming properties for the church. <mask> was transferred to the Fleet Prison in London. He finally came before the Privy Council on 22 December 1555, where his offence was called a "March treason." <mask> was pardoned and given permission to seek redress for the money confiscated at Norham.He declared that he would not pursue his money. Scottish Reformation Crisis
<mask> was forfeited as a traitor by the Parliament of Scotland on 5 December 1548, for his crimes in January 1548 of assisting Grey of Wilton, keeping the House of Saltoun, and  persuading lieges of Scotland to form leagues against Mary, Queen of Scots. On 5 December 1558, the forfeiture was reversed on the grounds that the procedure was flawed because Alexander was out of the country at the time. The sentence against Crichton of Brunstane was withdrawn in the same terms on the same day. During the crisis of the Scottish Reformation, <mask>, laird of Ormiston took his followers to face the French troops at Cupar Muir in June 1559. On 31 October 1559 he was involved in a major setback for the Protestant Lords of the Congregation. Ormiston rode to Berwick upon Tweed and carried £1,000 or 6,000 crowns from England to aid their fight against French troops in Scotland .The Earl of Bothwell ambushed him near Haddington and took the money after a sword fight which left <mask> with a wounded face. This caused diplomatic embarrassment as the English were caught out aiding Mary of Guise's rebels. The English diplomat Thomas Randolph asked Mary to make a full re-instatement of <mask> as laird of Ormiston in 1562. Randolph spent a day at Ormiston on 30 December 1562, while Mary was at Dunbar Castle with her half-brother <mask>, Commendator of Coldingham, and wrote a letter to his master, William Cecil, while he was there. Randolph listed <mask> amongst those who assisted in the murder of the Queen's Italian secretary David Rizzio in March 1566, with two relatives; his son-in-law the laird of "Haughton" (Herdmanston), and his nephew Sandilands of Calder, and <mask>, laird of Brunstane, the son of his friend. Two contemporary sources state that <mask> came to support Queen Mary and Bothwell at the battle of Carberry Hill in 1567. Thomas Randolph wrote to <mask> in April 1571, saying he had heard from Francis Walsingham, the English ambassador in France, that his son <mask>, a student, was in good health.<mask> had a stroke on the High Street of Edinburgh on 22 November 1583 and died. Family
By 1535, <mask> married Alison Sandilands, (d.1584) daughter of Sir <mask> of Calder. <mask>'s coat-of-arms was carved at Mid Calder Church in 1541; a fesse cheque between three cocks. The published edition of Henry Balnaves's Confession of Faith was dedicated to Alison Sandilands. Balnaves wrote the book while a prisoner in the Old Palace of Rouen in 1548.

Vautrollier said Alison's and Knox's secretary Richard Bannatyne had found the manuscript in the hands of a child at Ormiston.Alison and <mask>'s children included;

texts:
<mask> (born 17 July 1946), known professionally as <mask>, is an English actor. He grew up in County Durham in North East England, and first became interested in acting through Shakespeare productions at his grammar school. Since his career began in the early 1970s, he has played, in his words, "the full spectrum of characters from the grotesque to musicals... I always play very colourful characters, often a bit crazy, despotic, psychotic". His credits include several Charles Dickens adaptations, and the eccentric ex-detective Brian Lane in New Tricks. He is also an accomplished stage actor who spent nine years with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He originated the role of Thénardier in the London production of Les Misérables, and won an Olivier Award in the title role in Sweeney Todd.Early life
Born <mask> in Annfield Plain, County Durham, his father was a coal miner and both his parents were Methodist lay preachers. He attended Annfield Plain Junior School, then Consett Grammar School, where a teacher inspired him to try acting. In the lower sixth, he played Petruchio in The Taming of the Shrew, a role he later played with the Royal Shakespeare Company. <mask> took part in the National Youth Theatre summer school in 1964, but his background and northern accent made him feel out of place. He auditioned for RADA but was not accepted. He instead studied fine art at Newcastle University. He found the course pretentious and felt that he did not fit in, and he was expelled after two years when he stopped attending classes.<mask> had jobs with a bricklayer and as a gravedigger before he decided to try acting again. He started out as an assistant stage manager at the Cambridge Arts Theatre, then went on to a Theatre in Education company affiliated with the Sheffield Repertory Theatre.

In a 2007 interview, <mask> singled out Days of Hope as a favourite: "I loved that because it was my own history and background that was being dramatised and, in a way, nothing gets better than that". In the comedy series A Sharp Intake of Breath, he played a variety of characters who complicate the life of the main character played by David Jason.In 1977, he was the strict Deputy Headmaster in Willy Russell's Our Day Out, a television play about a group of poor schoolchildren on a daytrip.

In August 2012, <mask> announced he would leave the show after the tenth series. The announcement followed comments by the cast in an interview with the Radio Times that criticised some of the series' writing, and which drew an angry rebuttal from the show's writer-director Julian Simpson. During the run of New Tricks, <mask> continued to take on other projects. He starred in the 2004 TV film When I'm 64 about a lonely retired schoolteacher who starts a relationship with another man.He chose the role, despite his apprehension about filming a love scene with co-star Paul Freeman, because he thought it was a lovely and thought-provoking story.

He was involved in fleshing out his role, particularly in the second act song "Dog Eats Dog." He was surprised by the success of Les Misérables "because it is different to other musicals. Different because it is a sung musical throughout and also a little operatic; I didn't think it would be very popular." He left the production after a year because he became bored with the repetition and wanted to move on to other things. He sings on Original London Cast Recording.He reprised the role, paired with Jenny Galloway as Mme. Thénardier, in Les Misérables - The Dream Cast in Concert at the Royal Albert Hall in October 1995, which was filmed and released on DVD.

In 1988, he was again nominated for the Olivier Award for the roles of Barabas in an RSC production of The Jew of Malta and the Captain in a National Theatre production of The Father by August Strindberg. The New York Times review of The Father said: "At its imploding center is the superb actor <mask> <mask>... 'To eat or be eaten, that is the question,' says the captain. By evening's end, Mr. <mask> seems to have been devoured alive by his inner demons..."

During the short run of the musical The Baker's Wife at the Phoenix Theatre in 1989–90, he played the role of the baker Aimable Castagnet.The production, directed by Trevor Nunn, received positive reviews but did not attract large audiences and closed after 56 performances. He was nominated for an Olivier Award for Outstanding Performance of the Year by an Actor in a Musical. <mask> won the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical in 1994 for his performance as Sweeney Todd in the 1993 London revival of the musical at the National Theatre.

He starred as Willy Loman in a 1996–97 National Theatre production of Death of a Salesman. In 1997–98, he appeared in a production of the comedy The Front Page directed by Sam Mendes at the Donmar Warehouse.The Independent review noted: "As for <mask> <mask>, we don't meet him until late in the second of three acts but he dominates the entire evening. He barks, bleats and bellows across the stage, grabbing Hildy and the show by the scruff of the neck and hurtling through to a zinger of a climax." <mask> took the lead role at short notice in Shelagh Stephenson's play Mappa Mundi in 2002, replacing Ian Holm who withdrew due to illness. In 2006, he returned to the stage to star in Trevor Nunn's production of The Royal Hunt of the Sun at the National Theatre. At the Proms in 2012, he played Alfred Doolittle in a performance of My Fair Lady starring Annalene Beechey and Anthony Andrews. <mask> stars in a 2014 production of Ionesco's black comedy Exit the King at the Theatre Royal, Bath's Ustinov Studio.

title: Lady Miss Kier

texts:
<mask> (born August 15, 1963), better known as Lady Miss Kier, is an American singer, songwriter, DJ, designer, fashion icon, and activist. She was the vocalist for the band Deee-Lite, followed by a career as a disc jockey and solo songwriter. She has supported causes such as LGBTQ rights, women's rights, human rights, the environmental movement, the anti-war movement, and the get out the vote movement. Early life
Kirby was born in Youngstown, Ohio. As a child, she lived in Pittsburgh, Virginia Beach, and Washington, D.C. At the age of 17, she moved to New York City to study fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology but she was disillusioned by the teachers and dropped out immediately to design on her own. She designed and sold eccentric disco-inspired clothes to people she met at nightclubs. Music career

Deee-Lite
In 1982, Kirby met Ukrainian-born Dmitry Brill ("Supa DJ Dmitry") to whom she sold silver platform boots and a glitter blue spacesuit, for his band, Shazork.In 1986, she began experimenting with singing and writing music with Brill, forming the band Deee-Lite. Shortly after their first show in 1986, Brill was introduced to Towa Tei, a Japan-raised Korean DJ whom Kirby and Brill invited to join the band several years later. Combining Kirby's vocal and writing talents with Brill's sampling skills and Tei's techno mixing, the three formed the band Deee-Lite. They had performances every month, with Kier designing new costumes for each one. She continued to do go-go dancing at Bentleys and The Copacabana until the band signed a seven-album deal with Elektra Records. Deee-Lite's sound was a mix of house music, techno and electronic dance music. Deee-Lite shot to stardom in 1990 with the release of their first album World Clique and the hit "Groove Is in the Heart".At the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, Deee-Lite was nominated for several awards, including Video of the Year, Best Dance Video, Best New Artist, Best Breakthrough Video, and Best Editing in a Video. Kirby was very involved in the band's output: writing, producing, and performing the bulk of the band's songs. Known as much for their outrageous personae and costumes as for their music, the three took on larger-than-life alter-egos: Super DJ Dmitri, Jungle DJ Towa Tei, and Lady Miss Kier. Kirby is credited with designing and creating the look of the band, as well as much of the artwork accompanying the band's albums and marketing material. Her initial look relied on revamped and exaggerated retro style 1960s fashion. Her signature look was a zip-up catsuit, platform shoes and flipped hair-do. In 1992, the band released their second album, Infinity Within, a politically charged work.Their third album Dewdrops in the Garden was released in 1994 and was composed of pseudo-rave instrumentals or witty, funky showcases for <mask>er's rich vocals. Neither of the two follow-up albums matched the commercial success of the debut album. The second and third albums were hampered by difficulties with the label, which refused to promote, support touring, or fund contractual videos. The band functionally broke up during the writing of their third album in 1993, but Kirby and Brill decided to finish the project and tour together to promote the album before going their separate ways. Deee-lite disbanded in 1995 after Brill and Kirby's relationship fractured. In 1996, a remix album was released. A greatest hits album was released in 2001.

International DJ and songwriting solo career
In 1995, after quitting the band, <mask> Kier moved to London where she began touring as a disc jockey and learning the technical end of production, recording, and engineering.In the late 1990s, she collaborated on the albums of Bootsy Collins, I Kamanchi and A Guy Called Gerald. In 2002, she contributed an exclusive solo track called "I'm Not Staying at Home" to the compilation Straight Up & Dirty. Since going solo, she has featured and co-written with artists such as Full Cycle, George Clinton, Walter "Junie" Morrison, A Guy Called Gerald, Apollo Heights, and several P-Funk luminaries. Outside of the studio, she showcased her live performances with new material for various music, film, and art festivals, as well as headlining several Gay pride events worldwide. In 2012, she began performing a Deee-Lite tribute for various occasions, including the 2013 Paris Fashion Week for Kenzo as well as a tribute to New York City disc jockey Mark Kamins at Santos Party House. As a disc jockey, she has spun internationally at thousands of clubs and major music festivals including Coachella Festival (2007), Berlin's Berghain (2010) and Sydney Mardi Gras (2012), as well as radio programs such as East Village Radio and Sirius XM. Live performances
In 2005, motivated by the invasion of Iraq, she began internationally performing live new unreleased music, including the DFA release covering George Clinton's anti–war song "Bullet Proof".She has headlined numerous festivals and gay pride events as well as opened for James Brown's last tour at the Good Vibrations festival in Australia. Fashion recognition
Kirby has received the following recognition in the fashion industry:

 In 1990, she was on the cover of Vogue. In 1991, when designer Emilio Pucci was given a lifetime achievement award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, she was asked to star in the tribute video. In 2010, Elle named her one of Music's 25 Most Influential Style Icons along with Grace Jones, Beyoncé, Debbie Harry, and MIA. In 2010, Glamour named <mask> as one of the Top Influential Music Style Icons with Rihanna, <mask>, and Gwen Stefani. In 2012, Vogue quoted her experience with John Fluevog and the rise of "The Munster" platform shoe, which was made famous as a symbol of the 1990s house/club underground DJ scene. Fluevog Shoes credits her as the reason the shoe became popular.Vice noted that "Indeed, Lady Miss Kier's taste for the massive John Fluevog platform shoes she famously wore on their first album cover helped propel the early 90s into a 70s fashion revival". In 2012, Rookie published her status as a style icon. Shoe designer Jerome Rousseau named a shoe "Kier Iridescent Sandals" after her. In 2013, W cited Lady Miss Kier along with Chloë Sevigny and Twiggy as current fashion influences. In 2013, Ladygunn magazine featured a full spread on Kier in its Legends issue. In 2013, she was asked by Kenzo to be the performer for its Paris Fashion Week party. From 2007 to 2012, Thierry Mugler used her song for its website campaign.In 2015, she was an inspiration for designer Jeremy Scott's Fall 2016 line, which debuted at New York Fashion Week. In 2015, Essie Weingarten's nail polish brand released a pink polish inspired by her, called "Groove Is in the Heart". In 2015, Givenchy's Milan Fashion Week show drew inspiration from her, borrowing a lyric from her World Clique album song "Power of Love", using the line "I believe in the power of love" as part of the branding of the debut of its Fall 2016 line. In 2016, an article in Vogue referred to Kier as a "Club Kid Icon," detailing how world class designers know her as a "legend and a lady," and highlighting how designers such as Thierry Mugler have borrowed from her look. Movies and books
Her music has been used in a multitude of films, including The Heat (2013), House of Versace (2013), Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story (2013), Charlie's Angels (2000), Wigstock (1995), Party Girl (1995), Dumb and Dumber (1994), I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry (2007) and numerous TV series episodes including Britain's Got More Talent, The Voice, RuPaul's Drag Race, American Crime Story, Coronation Street, Transparent, Misfits, Hello Ladies, The Heat, New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Private Practice, License to Wed, Dancing with the Stars, What Love is, Down to You, Lost & Found, Can't Hardly Wait, Bill Nye the Science Guy, The War Room, Cruel Summer, Beavis and Butt-Head, and Big Mouth. In 2018, the Netflix series Big Mouth released a Planned Parenthood and Deee-lite themed episode—relatedly, Lady Miss Kier has been a longtime pro-choice advocate and safe sex was a theme in Deee-lite's music. In 1995, Lady Kier was featured in Wigstock: The Movie, which included live footage of her performing and a song on the soundtrack.In 2001 she was included in Summer Love: The Rave-umentary. In 2005, Lady <mask> was the featured artist on the podcast Ron-Kat-Delic Show. Her words also were shared through a number of published books, including Verbal Abuse – No 3 by Chi Chi Valenti, Creative Time: The Book: 33 Years of Public Art in New York by Anne Pasternak, Creative License: The Law and Culture of Digital Sampling by Kembrew McLeod and Peter DiCola and All Music Guide to Electronica: The Definitive Guide to Electronic Music by Vladimir Bogdanov. Panels and appearances
Lady Miss <mask> has spoken at Princeton University's "Youth Music and Youth Culture", Cooper Union's multimedia presentation "Hiccup" in 1993, Apple's 1995 "Future Arts Panel" with Peter Gabriel and Electronic Frontier Foundation founder, John Perry Barlow, George Washington University's Law School Summit Future of Music Coalition in 2007 and New York University's "NYU Panel Nelson Sullivan: Vlogging in the 80s" in 2013. In 2013 she was featured in an exhibit entitled "NYC 1993", which was presented through New York City's New Museum. Beyond the installation, her voice recording was played via pay phones throughout the New York area. In 2013, Lady <mask>er was the featured voiceover artist in The Jazz Foundation of America's animated promo for the event "A Great Night in Harlem."Space Channel 5 and lawsuit
In 2003, Kirby sued video game company Sega, claiming that the character of "Ulala" in its Dreamcast game Space Channel 5 was an unauthorized use of her likeness. Kirby claimed that Sega offered to pay her  to license her name, image and songs for the game, though she rejected its offer. Kirby alleged that the video game maker later used her resemblance anyway (including the name Ulala – referencing Kirby's signature phrase "Ooh la la" in her recorded and live performances), at which point she initiated the lawsuit. During the lawsuit, Sega was able to show that the game was released in Japan the year before Kier stated that she was contacted by Sega about using her likeness, and that the developers had never heard of either Kier or her music. The case lasted until 2006, when the judge ruled in favor of Sega and Kier lost her appeal. She was obliged to pay Sega's legal fees of $608,000 (reduced from $763,000 on request). Political views and activism
Lady <mask> is a social, environmental, and human rights activist.She is also a vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights and is a straight ally. As such, she has been invited to be a host, performer, master of ceremonies, and disc jockey at pride parades. She is staunchly pro-choice rights and is a women's rights advocate, was featured in TV informercial promoting pro-abortion rights political action "The Most Exciting Women in Music" alongside Corina, Juliet Cuming, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), MC Lyte, Kate Pierson (The B-52's), Crystal Waters, Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club) in 1991. In 1991, Lady Miss <mask> was an award presenter at the Reebok Human Rights Awards. She is a supporter of the environmental movement. The 1992 Deee-Lite album "Infinity Within" was the first CD released using eco-pak packaging, cutting the amount of plastic used by half. On that album, she called attention to the issue of ozone depletion with her song "I Had a Dream I Was Falling Through a Hole in the Ozone Layer".Vogue Magazine has highlighted her "interest in supporting environmental causes". She supports the anti-war movement and in 2010, she released a version of the P-Funk track "Bullet Proof" with Ray Mang with lyrics calling attention to the perils of war and denouncing global militarization after the song was featured in 2005 during her world tour. She supports the get out the vote movement. Her music video for the song "Vote Baby Vote", which she wrote "to get people interested in voting so they could vote George Bush out", was featured for MTV's "Rock The Vote" in 1992 and was highlighted by Rolling Stone as one of the top "ten major moments in rock the vote history". During the 2016 United States presidential election, she voted for Green Party candidate Jill Stein but was an outspoken and enthusiastic supporter of Bernie Sanders. She hosted an art exhibit at Hole Gallery in New York City and a fundraiser called "Bernin' Up NYC" to rally Bernie Sanders supporters. References

title: Gaius Claudius Marcellus (consul 49 BC)

texts:
<mask> (before 91 BC – c. 48 BC) was a Consul of the Roman Republic in 49 BC. Family and political career

The Claudii Marcelli were a plebeian family, members of the nobiles with a long history of consulships throughout the history of the Republic. Following a century without the family reaching the consulship, three Claudii Marcelli were Consuls in succession: in 51 BC <mask> (the brother of <mask>); in 50 BC <mask> (their cousin); and in 49 BC <mask> himself. <mask> was born sometime before 91 BC. His father was M. <mask>, curule aedile of 91; his great-grandfather was M. <mask> who was three times consul, and whose own grandfather – also a M. Claudius <mask> – was five times consul and fought against Hannibal in Italy. Nothing is known of his earlier life, any military service, or his quaestorship and entry to the Senate, although he may have been the candidate in opposition to Clodius for the curule aedileship of 56 BC of whom, on 23 November, Cicero wrote "The candidate Marcellus is snoring so loud that I can hear him next door"  (although the other two contemporary Claudii Marcelli are also possibilities). <mask> must have held the praetorship at the latest in 52 BC, but he could have held the office some years before – there is no mention of this in the historical record.In 50 BC <mask> was elected consul for the following year alongside Lentulus Crus, as opponents to Caesar. Both his brother Marcus and cousin <mask> (Minor) had strongly opposed Caesar during their own consulships, working to have his proconsulship of Gaul terminated and to prevent Caesar from standing for election as consul of 48 BC in absentia. Caesar had blocked Marcus by working with the tribunes and the other consul, Servius Sulpicius Rufus, and then <mask> (Minor) by heavily bribing his consular colleague, Lucius Aemilius Paullus, but had not yet been able to secure election to a second consulship without having to stand as a candidate in Rome and without relinquishing his proconsular command (which would expose him to prosecution for illegalities in his first consulship). The election of <mask> and Lentulus as consuls for 49 BC was within the normal framework of family connections and influences, but also a snub to Caesar through his own candidate, Servius Sulpicius Galba. <mask> and Lentulus Crus continued the policy of the Claudii Marcelli in their opposition to Caesar. Civil War

Late in 50 BC, with much of the Senate wanting peace and unwilling to act against Caesar, the consul <mask> (Minor) took matters into his own hands and led a coup, without the backing of the Senate and directed against Caesar, aiming to put control of an army into the hands of Pompeius. Lentulus, as consul-elect certainly joined with him in this, possibly <mask> Major too.Neither the Claudii Marcelli or Lentulus were particular adherents of Pompeius, a powerful magnate and general, but saw him as a tool to use against Caesar. On the Kalends 1 January 49 BC, <mask> and Lentulus entered office, and were presented at once with letters from Caesar, the tenor of which was claimed to be a declaration of war: Caesar would stand his legions down provided Pompey did as well; otherwise, he intended to retain them and "move quickly" to avenge the wrongs done against him—presumably against Rome. The Senate's response was an ultimatum: Caesar was to disband his legions or be declared a public enemy. After a week of angry exchanges, on 7 January 49 BC, the senate under Lentulus and <mask> passed the "final decree" (senatus consultum ultimum); the tribunes Antonius and Cassius fled with Caesar's envoy, the younger <mask> Curio, from Rome to meet Caesar at Ravenna. Whilst Lentulus is recorded as the more vehement of the consuls in instigating the action that caused the tribunes to flee, <mask> does not seem to have been aloof. On 10 January, Caesar famously crossed the Rubicon, starting the Civil War. Initially Marcellus remained in Rome, with the consuls opposing any accommodation with Caesar, maintaining an anti-Caesarian hysteria, and pressuring Pompeius to cross Italy and raise troops.On 17 January both <mask> and his colleague followed Pompeius in leaving Rome ahead of Caesar's advancing forces, scandalously without even making the usual sacrifices before departure. They went south to Teanum where, on 22 January, Lucius Julius Caesar, a kinsman serving with Caesar, brought conciliatory proposals from the proconsul. On 25 January Cicero (whose letters provide the details of these events) met with <mask> and Lentulus in Capua, along with many other senators who had fled Rome. Cicero reported to his correspondent, Atticus, that all were anxious that Caesar should stand by his offer and they had sent messages back to him. However, within a few days Cicero was reporting to Atticus that the consuls did not care for peace. Lentulus was even reported to have tried to recruit gladiators at one stage, but thought better of this when criticized. The whereabouts of Marcellus was not known, even by 7 February, when he was two days late for a meeting with Lentulus and Cicero.The latter despaired, writing in frustration that the consuls were of no use and that no recruiting was being done. Pompeius himself wrote from Luceria on 17 February to <mask> and Lentulus urging them to collect all the troops they could and join him at Brundisium. By 20 February the consuls had done so. In late February Caesar sent his agent, Cornelius Balbus (the younger) on a secret mission to win over the consul Lentulus with the bribe of a lucrative province; there is no hint that he made any similar offers to <mask>, which may be an indication of the latter's comparative honesty or, perhaps more likely, his comparative insignificance in Roman politics. Balbus was too late in any case: Pompeius had sent both consuls and their forces on ahead of him to Dyrrhachium and he followed with the remainder by 4 March, narrowly evading Caesar. Cicero condemned this, as it destroyed the negotiations for peace which he claimed to be mediating. Very little is known specifically about <mask> after crossing to Dyrrachium, though he is addressed by the Goddess Discordia in Petronius' Satyricon, urged to hold fast to the decree which commanded Caesar to resign his proconsulship, the senatus consultum of 7 January 49 BC.Pompeius placed much emphasis on his fleets to prevent Caesar from crossing from Italy. One fleet, that from Rhodes, was jointly commanded by <mask> in association with <mask>ponius. Other than this, nothing is known of <mask>' involvement in the Civil War. The command of the Rhodian fleet at Dyrrachium was later mentioned as being under the command of Quintus Coponius and was wrecked in a storm. It is speculated  that <mask> was a casualty of the war – at least, he was not alive a few years later when Cicero was writing or delivering his Philippics (March 43 BC). <mask> is not mentioned further.

Returning to the United States she went to Harvard Business School for her MBA in 1999. Career
In 2010, she started Alpha Girl Comics when she and her friend, Georgia Lee, discussed the lack of female voices in comics.<mask> took a course in creative writing and developed her interest in comics writing from there. She has continued to focus on the lack of representation of women in the comics industry speaking on panels at comic events. She published three collections of short stories under Alpha Girl Comics titled Girls Night Out from 2012 to 2014. Several were funded through Kickstarter, as well as in 2017, a remaster and collection of all three volumes into paperback format. <mask> has been writing Red Sonja for Dynamite Entertainment since late 2016. She also started working on Dynamite's KISS in 2016. <mask> took over writing duties for Dynamite's Green Hornet beginning with the 2018 run.<mask> was recognized as a cultural leader of the year, for 2018, by the Corea Image Communications Institute and said she had plans to write a comic in Seoul. Personal life
