In early 2017, <mask> resigned from his position as Chaplain to the Queen after speaking out against a service at St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow, at which a Muslim law student read (in Arabic) a passage from the Koran that explicitly declared that Jesus is not the Son of God and because of his views on Islam and orthodox Christianity.Ashenden concluded that being a member of the Ecclesiastical Household meant he could not speak out on matters he felt strongly about and that it was his duty and calling to speak on issues relating to the integrity of the Christian faith.

<mask> was born in Singapore. As a young adolescent, he was fascinated with drawing. In the 1980s, he was exposed to the various art from a diverse range of graphic novels ranging from Western comics to Japanese manga and Chinese manhua, which led him to gain a strong interest in this form of art and storytelling.

Graphic novel career

 Early 2009-2014 Early work and breakthrough
His first foray into the comic industry was the release of It Takes a Wizard, a 480-page single volume manga, written by German writer Thomas R. Hart, and published by Seven Seas Entertainment, an American publisher of original manga-style comics in 2009. Two years later Macmillan Publishers published his two-part graphic novel adaption of the sci-fi novel Ringworld by Larry Niven, namely Ringworld: The Graphic Novel, Part One and Ringworld: The Graphic Novel, Part Two. He then went on to develop several bible-themed graphic novels with American publisher Manga Hero, which includes Paul: Tarsus to Redemption, Judith: Captive to Conqueror, Many Are Called, and Habemus Papam! manga. He released a 32-page Pope Benedict manga comic which was distributed in August during World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid. This was followed by an expanded version of the graphic novel which went deeper into the life of Pope Benedict XVI.In 2012 he won an award for his bible themed graphic novel, Judith: Captive to Conqueror at Angoulême Christian Comics Festival in France. A 48-page paperback, Pope Francis: I Believe in Mercy,, was later created to celebrate the appointment of Pope Francis. 2015-2019
In 2015 he collaborated with the Four Lords from San Diego as the main comic artist for The Curseborn Saga manga, and together held a book signing at the Los Angeles Anime Expo for the launch of the first volume, followed by another at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2018, where his team got an exclusive interview by ABC 10 News. They are currently in works on the second volume of the comic and an art book with a consolidation of all his current concept arts and character designs for the story planned for release sometimes towards end of 2018 or early 2019. 2020 to present
Throughout the 20s to present, he has always work closely with his chief editor Junzi (also known as kingB, a contemporary artist and author ) over many past works, including his two new original comic series namely the Red Dot(later renamed Geungsi) and Goddess Punch, both which were introduced exclusively on his social media platform Instagram. Both works aim to appeal to both local Singaporeans as well as the international audience. Apart from working on graphic novels, <mask> has held in-house art gallery showcasing his popular online series of Red Dot and Silent Night series artworks which he has also shared on his Instagram.In early 2021, in a NAFA news article, he shared more updates of his new long running graphic novel series Geungsi, which was slated to be launched later part of the year and also the first time his book is launched in Singapore ahead of its international release. In June 2021, he shared with Asia Contemporary Art platform Artitute some insights of his journey in pursuing his passion as a graphic novelist, and how he came about with the creation of Geungsi being his first written story that sets in Singapore, where he blends social commentary and detailed cultural settings with strong elements of Asian horror, myth and fantasy. American online publishing platform Medium followed up with an article on the book ahead of its launch in Sep, with sneak previews of the book production and a take on his new approach in the art style of Geungsi. In Oct 2021 he officially held a three day launch of his book Geungsi at the Singapore National Library in Singapore with a series of talks where he shares about writing and creating graphic novels. During the talks, he revealed that Geungsi is going to be a long running series with the apocalyptic story spanning across Asia to other parts of the world. He held a solo exhibition called Geungsi Art Exhibition 2021 in November to celebrate the launch of his first work in Singapore and was featured in Singapore's arts and culture guide Alist. In an interview with pop-culture Red Dot Diva on his Geungsi, he shared about how the title Geungsi derived from his love for Jiangshi films back in the 90s.He also quoted inspirations from music in the course of his work whenever he's drawing. In Jan 2022 he did an exclusive interview with The Singapore Straits Times and had Geungsi featured in The Sunday Times line up of hot-off-the-press home-grown books in Singapore. Adam Symchuk of The Grimoire of Horror and Asian Movie Pulse gave the book 4 out of 5 and praised the series being perfectly poised, which touches on a few different genres in an impressive manner and deserved, to bring further recognition to the region – particularly for fans of horror manga. New York City-based literary arts Singapore Unbound puts Geungsi as one of the must-read books in SP Blog’s 8th Annual Books Round-up 2021. In Jan 2022 Yuan magazine of Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations released a full length Chinese interview on him, for the first time sharing deeper insights about his thoughts and life journey through the years abroad in pursue of his passion in graphic novel career. Technique and materials
<mask> is known to use Japanese nib G-pen and Sumi Ink over his pencils for his graphic novel works, and is also versed in using Wacom graphics tablets. He also specializes in using charcoal on large canvas and Chinese and Japanese Ink wash painting.In talking about the artist's work ethic, <mask> has said, "I hope artists strike a balance in using traditional and digital medium. When one uses traditional art medium, they gain a deeper understanding of the materials and fundamentals as opposed to the over-reliance on undoing mistakes using digital, which on the other hand, do offer an increase in productivity on time. Music and fashion
In early 2018 he collaborated with American DJ and record producer Slushii with a anime rendition of him on a limited edition poster of his There X2 Tour, for the first time introducing Slushii clashing with new 'dark Slushii' donned in a black alternate version of his signature T-shirt. In 2020 he collaborated with Japanese brand Maker's Watch Knot to launch a Limited time collection series of the 12 Zodiac Characters artworks together with their Artisan Watches, with each pair of Zodiac inspired male and female characters featured monthly. ‘Knot X SEANLAM Limited Postcard Collection’ consists of character designs which are loosely based on one of his manga story collections '''Moment For Love 愛の瞬間 ‘. Through this collaboration, he expresses that "art is a timeless expression that bonds together the love and people of diversity". He was also the judge for the manga art competition held by Knot in Singapore in April 2020.In Dec 2021, <mask> launched THE YUREI X SEANLAM, a clothing line featuring his new series of artworks introducing a collection of mythical creatures from Asian folklore beyond those of Japanese folklore to the west. This marks his first collaboration with the UK Asian Horror media The Yurei and their collaboration was featured on Arttitute. The clothing line was launched on the same day in UK and Singapore under UK time zone. THE YUREI X SEANLAM made a first appearance at the SG Toycon 2021 in Singapore where <mask> held an exclusive three day autograph session for the launch of the first series of the limited edition T-shirts and bandannas. Words of hope and encouragement
During the COVID-19 pandemic, he extended support to his homeland Singapore through art therapies and free art workshops for children sharing his latest children's illustrated storybook series Growing Up with you, a series of heart-warming local stories. In December 2020 he was commissioned by Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA)  and REACH to produce a mural to celebrate REACH Singapore 35th Anniversary, to show support to their 35 years of relentless efforts to hear the voices of the public as well as engaging in conversations with all walks of life. The mural aims to start off on an emerging stronger conversation to reach out to different communities in Singapore such as clan associations and youths, to enable participants to share their hopes for what Singapore could look like as the country emerge from COVID-19.In an interview back in 2011, he talked about hopes to bring changes to the art scene in Singapore and to hopefully attract and trigger the creativity in children in comic and manga art, saying “Manga can deliver emotions faithfully and carry a vivid message to readers, evoking a sense of reality in the story. Young children are usually fascinated by the art when they pick up the book. I hope that my artwork can help them understand the emotional background of the set and characters, and bring them into that world to learn about the wonderful stories of faith and goodwill.”

title: Abraham Wood

texts:
<mask> (1610–1682), sometimes referred to as "General" or "Colonel" <mask>, was an English fur trader, militia officer, politician and explorer of 17th century colonial Virginia. <mask> helped build and maintained Fort Henry at the falls of the Appomattox in present-day Petersburg. He also served in the Virginia House of Burgesses, and as a member of the Virginia Governor's Council. Early and family life
<mask> emigrated from England as a 10-year-old boy in 1620. The English ship "Margaret and John", on which he sailed as an indentured servant or cabin boy was attacked by two Spanish vessels in the West Indies; <mask> was one of the few survivors; the attack led the vessel to turn to the Virginia colonies. Career

By 1625, <mask> worked for Captain Samuel Mathews and lived at Jamestown. He also filed land claims for areas on the lower Appomattox River in the 1630s, and in 1638. by which time he had turned to exploring the colony's interior, and traded for the beaver and deerskin with the native tribes.Upon being expelled from their villages at Bermuda Hundred and Swift Creek, natives had established a village near the falls of the Appomattox River, which would much later would become part of Petersburg. Natives revolted in 1644. Virginia colonists responded in part by building Fort Henry in 1646 at the falls of the Appomatox River. It supposedly marked the legal frontier between the white settlers and the Native Americans, as well as defended both the settler on the south side of the James River (about 20 miles north of the Appomattox River) and the native Appomattoc tribe which had grain fields and fished in the Appomattox River near the falls, and with whom <mask> traded. From 1646 until around 1691, it became the only point in Virginia where Native Americans could legally cross eastward into white territory, or whites westward into Native American territory. Soon after its construction, <mask> commanded a garrison of 3 soldiers from Henrico County, 12 from Charles City County and 15 each from James City County and Isle of Wight County. Not long after, other colonists thought the tax burden too great, so the government allowed the fort and 600 acres of land sold to <mask>, who agreed to keep 10 armed men at the fort for three years.Thus <mask>, who both commanded the fort and privately owned the adjoining land and trading post, a considerable advantage over his competitors in the "Indian trade". <mask> represented Henrico County in the House of Burgesses from 1644 to 1646, then Charles City County from 1652 and 1656. He was a justice of Charles City County in 1655. Also in 1655, he was appointed to a committee to review Virginia's laws. He was elected to the Virginia Governor's Council on March 13, 1657–68 and actively served until at least 1671, and according to correspondence, kept his seat through at least 1676, probably 1680. <mask> dispatched several exploration parties from Fort Henry during these years, including one that he personally led in 1650, which explored the upper reaches of the James River and Roanoke River. In August 1650, <mask> and Edward Bland reached and traveled on the Great Indian Warpath, penetrating the Carolina region southwest of the Roanoke River and discovering westward flowing rivers.Daniel Coxe mentions that "Parts of this Country were discovered by the English long before the French had the least knowledge... <mask> of Virginia... from the years 1654 to 1664 discovered at several times several branches of the great rivers Ohio and Mesechaceba." <mask> also dispatched the first English expeditions to reach the southern Appalachian Mountains. In 1671, explorers <mask>, Thomas Batts (Batte) and Robert Fallam reached the New River Valley and the New River. "Batts was a grandson of Robert Batts, vicar master of University College, Oxford, and possible relation to Nathaniel Batts, first permanent settler in North Carolina and Governor of Roanoke Island. Nathaniel by 1655 had a busy Indian trade from his home on Albemarle Sound. <mask> may have been <mask>'s son.Robert Fallam is a question mark. The journal he kept of their experience shows him to be a literate, educated man." The New River was named <mask>'s River after <mask>, although in time it became better known as the New River. Batts and Fallam are generally credited with being the first Europeans to enter within the present-day borders of West Virginia. In 1673 <mask> sent his friend James Needham and his indentured servant Gabriel Arthur on an expedition to find an outlet to the Pacific Ocean. Shortly after their departure Needham and Arthur encountered a group of Tomahitan Natice Americans, who offered to conduct the men to their town across the mountains . After reaching the Tomahitan town Needham returned to Fort Henry to report to <mask>.While en route back to the Tomahitan town Needham was killed by a member of the trading party with whom he was traveling . Shortly thereafter, Arthur was almost killed by a mob in the Tomahitan settlement, but was saved and then adopted by the town's headman. Arthur lived with the Tomahitans for almost a year, accompanying them on war and trading expeditions as far south as Spanish Florida  and as far north as the Ohio River . <mask> was appointed colonel of a militia regiment in Henrico and Charles City counties in 1655. Later, he was appointed major general but lost this position in 1676 after Bacon's Rebellion either because of infirmity or political differences with Governor William Berkeley. Bacon's rebel forces attacked the Appomattoc Indians on both sides of the river, killed many and dispersed the rest, after burning their town. By 1670 <mask> had relinquished his trading post to his son-in-law, Peter Jones, for whom Petersburg, Virginia would eventually be named, and in 1675 Jones became commander of the reactivated fort.Jones had married <mask>'s daughter Margaret, and a map drafted in 1670 named what had been "Fort Henry" on earlier maps, simply "<mask>". In 1676, Governor Berkeley wrote that Maj. Gen. <mask> of the council kept to his house through infirmity. By March 1678–79, he was strong enough to negotiate with the Native Americans and to arrange for the chief men of hostile tribes to meet in Jamestown. <mask> retired to patent more plantation land in 1680 west of the fort, in what had been Appomattoc territory, notwithstanding it being disallowed by the House of Burgesses. Death and legacy
<mask> died some time between 1681 and 1686, possibly in 1682. Further westward explorations stalled until undertaken by Governor Spottswood. Notes

title: Sammy Luftspring

texts:
<mask> (May 14, 1916 – September 27, 2000) was a Jewish Canadian boxer. A former Canadian Welterweight Champion and highly ranked in the Welterweight class during his career, <mask> was forced to retire from the sport due to an eye injury. He was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1985, and the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 1996. Early career

Luftspring was born to Jewish parents of Polish descent and raised in St. John's Ward, a low class residential area of Toronto that was home to both Jewish and Italian immigrants. His father attempted to make a living as a bootlegger prior to prohibition, and the family struggled to raise six children under difficult circumstances. Luftspring began his boxing career in 1932 out of Brunswick Talmud Torah, a local Toronto Jewish community and recreational centre. Throughout his career, he wore a Magen David on his trunks.Over the next four years, he fought 105 times (attaining a record of 100–5) and captured Golden Gloves Tournaments in various weight classes ranging from bantamweight to welterweight. By 1933, he was the Ontario amateur lightweight champion and regarded as one of the best amateur boxing talents. In 1933, he was involved in the infamous Toronto Christie Pits riot. A wild street brawl first broke out at Christie Pits Park following tensions that occurred during a series of amateur softball games between two rival teams. The riot continued for six hours, and eventually attracted 10,000 locals, mostly spectators. The initial antagonists were a group of young Jewish and Italian men on a local team who started a fight when a Gang unfurled a Swastika, a symbol that had been displayed the previous day and on other occasions by the local Swastika Club, a group of Canadian Nazi sympathizers. 1936 Berlin Olympics boycott

Luftspring was named to Canada's Olympic team for the 1936 Berlin Olympics.At the encouragement of his parents, he refused to attend the Games in protest over the poor treatment Jews were receiving in Nazi Germany. He made his views on the subject public in a letter to the Toronto Globe. In the letter, he protested that "the German government was treating its Jewish brothers and sisters worse than dogs". He even went as far as to say that "the German government would exterminate Jews if they had the opportunity". Luftspring and another boxer, Norman "Baby" Yack, attempted to participate in an alternate event being hosted that summer, the People's Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. The Spanish Civil War broke out prior to the Games' opening ceremonies. The event caused the cancellation of the People's Olympics.By the time Luftspring found out about the cancellation, he had already reached Dieppe, France. Luftspring, disappointed at not having a chance to compete, returned to Toronto. Professional career

Luftspring began to box professionally in the fall of 1936. A year later, he fought Gordon Wallace for the Canadian welterweight championship. He lost to Wallace in a 10-round decision at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens. He married his wife Elsie in 1938 at Toronto's McCaul Street synagogue. Canadian Welterweight Champion
In 1938, Luftspring knocked out Frank Genovese before a Toronto crowd of 10,000 in the 13th of 15 rounds to win the Canadian welterweight championship.Genovese was down at least three times in the final rounds for counts of 9. The fight was his first in Canada under the management of French-American Al Weill, who had managed the exceptional welterweight Lou Ambers. Genovese and Luftspring's rivalry was extremely competitive and one of the dominant story lines of Toronto boxing in the late 1930s. That same year, he was ranked as the third best welterweight boxer in the world. He was subsequently offered a chance to fight world champion Henry Armstrong in 1940. Luftspring lost to Greek American boxer Steve Makamos, a Middleweight contender, on February 14, 1940 in a ten round split decision in Toronto. Makamos led in the early fighting, and a late rally by Luftspring in the closing rounds was not enough to gain the decision.In a fight at New York's Bronx Colliseum on May 27, 1940, against Steve Belloise, <mask> received an eye injury in the fourth round from a looping right punch that unintentionally caught his left eye with the thumb of the glove. The medical diagnosis was a detached retina, an inoperable condition, that resulted in nearly complete loss of vision. The fight was intended to be a tune up for a potential championship bout against Armstrong. The injury forced <mask> to quit boxing and ended his contention for the world welterweight title. Details of his career record are unclear. Different reports have him winning 50 of either 55 or 56 pro bouts. More detailed records list him as 32–8 with 14 knockouts.Life after boxing

Luftspring struggled to establish himself immediately after boxing. He became a taxicab driver and then a representative for a liquor company. He began refereeing on occasion at the end of his boxing career, and within five years finally established himself as a respected Toronto referee who would eventually oversee 2000 bouts. Some of the prominent and memorable fights he refereed between 1941-84 include:

 September 15, 1958 – The Canadian heavyweight title match between George Chuvalo and James J. Parker at Maple Leaf Gardens. October 1, 1965 – The WBA heavyweight title match between George Chuvalo and Ernie Terrell at Maple Leaf Gardens. January 27, 1970 – A bout between Humberto Trottman and Clyde Gray at Royal York Hotel in which an upset Trottman, thinking Luftspring was interfering with his style, took a swing at him. Luftspring responded with a bare-knuckle left hook off the side of Trottman's head, forcing Trottman's manager to race into the ring and intervene.Nearing the end of his prolific refereeing career around 1981, he began work as a boxing judge though 1991, judging nearly 100 bouts. Luftspring, along with three partners, Harry Eckler of the baseball hall of fame, Joe Krol of the football hall of fame and their friend Lou Cadsby, opened the Mercury Club in 1948, a dining establishment on Dundas Street, near Bay Street, in Toronto. It was a successful club, which featured popular performers such as Henny Youngman, Vic Damone and Tony Bennett. Luftspring helped to host and operate the club, which had its peak years in the 1950s and 1960s, while simultaneously working as a referee. He subsequently ran other nightclubs such as the Tropicana. After a lengthy illness, Luftspring died at Toronto East General hospital on September 27, 2000. He was buried at the Interment Slipia Synagogue Section of Dawes Road Cemetery in Toronto.Welter Title

title: John Otway

texts:
<mask> (born 2 October 1952) is an English singer-songwriter who has built a cult audience through extensive touring. Biography

1970s and 80s
<mask> was born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Although his first single, "Gypsy"/"Misty Mountain" was released in 1972, <mask> initially received some coverage on the back of punk rock and a performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. His sixth single, the half-spoken love song "Really Free" reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart in 1977. It would be his greatest success for some time. The song earned him a five-album deal with Polydor Records, who viewed him as a punk rather than merely an eccentric. His first album, recorded with Wild Willy Barrett, was produced by Pete Townshend but sold only fitfully.The follow-up singles fared no better despite some imaginative promotion, which included an offer for <mask> to come to a buyer's house and perform the 1979 single, "Frightened and Scared", if their copy was one of only three copies from which the vocal had been omitted. <mask>'s and Barrett's only other UK chart success came in July 1980 with "DK 50/80", a modest No. 45 hit. When <mask> turned solo, his audience remained loyal despite poor record sales. In the mid 1980s, he often appeared on Vivian and Ki Longfellow-Stanshall's showboat, the Old Profanity Showboat, in Bristol's Floating Harbour. He also appeared as the musical guest in the final episode of the British sitcom The Young Ones, "Summer Holiday". 1990s and 2000s

His 1990 autobiography, Cor Baby, That's Really Me (subtitled Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure) was a study in self-deprecation, and his touring continued to sustain him.In the 1990s, he toured as "Headbutts and Halibuts", with Attila the Stockbroker with whom he wrote a surreal rock opera called Cheryl. In 1992 <mask> appeared at GuilFest. In 1993 he was able to draw 2,500 fans to a gig in London and, in 1998, 4,000 celebrated his birthday with him at the Royal Albert Hall, coinciding with the release of Premature Adulation, his first album of new material for over ten years. By then, <mask> had realised he could use his fanbase, who were in on the joke, to engage in minor publicity stunts. A grassroots campaign saw his "Beware of the Flowers Cause I'm Sure They're Going to Get You Yeah" voted the seventh greatest lyric of all time in a BBC poll. In 2002, when asked what he wanted for his 50th birthday, he requested "a second hit". A concerted drive, including a poll (scrutinised by the Electoral Reform Society) to select the track, saw "Bunsen Burner" — with music sampled from the Trammps song "Disco Inferno" and lyrics devised to help his daughter with her chemistry homework – reach number nine in the UK Singles Chart on 6 October, and earned <mask> an appearance on Top of the Pops, BBC Television's flagship popular music programme.To encourage fans to buy more than one copy each of the single, he released three different versions. The flip-side of "Bunsen Burner – The Hit Mix" was a cover of "The House of the Rising Sun" recorded at Abbey Road Studios and featuring 900 of his fans on backing vocals, each of whom was credited by name on the single's sleeve. Thanks to this second hit he has now been able to release his Greatest Hits album. Commenting on the fact that the title of this album is now in the plural, <mask> said that he was very proud of it, having "finally got it (the 's') on the right side of Hit". Buoyed by the success of the hit campaign, <mask> planned an ambitious world tour in October 2006. He proposed hiring his own jet to take his band, and 300 of his fans, to some of the most prestigious venues in the world, including Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House. Despite over 150 fans signing up, the tour was cancelled as the costs of the plane spiralled.2010s

<mask> is still touring in various formats. In 2009, he was re-united with Wild Willy Barrett for a UK tour, the duo now perform together regularly and even recorded a new album in 2011 called 40-Odd Years of <mask> and Barrett consisting of re-workings of old songs and a new, previously unrecorded song "The Snowflake Effect". <mask> also tours as a solo act, as a duo with Richard Holgarth and often with his Big Band which includes Murray Torkildsen (guitar and stylophone), Seymour Fluids (bass), Adam Batterbee (drums) and guest keyboard player Barry Upton. In October 2012, to celebrate his 60th birthday, <mask> booked the Odeon Leicester Square to show the documentary of his life. Titled Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure: Otway the Movie, the screening saw cinematic history made with the final scenes of the movie being filmed from the red carpet on the morning of the film. The film was funded by fans becoming producers who, as with the Hit campaign, were all individually credited in the movie credits. Following the success of the producers' premiere, 2013 saw <mask> take the completed movie to the Cannes Film Festival.Ever resourceful and still with an eye for a publicity stunt, <mask> and 100 of his fans (who donned Otway masks and dressed up in Otway's traditional black jeans and white shirt) travelled down the Promenade de la Croisette to the red carpet. The film also had its theatrical release at Glastonbury Festival in June 2013, before going on a national cinema tour in the summer. He delivers occasional (humorous) lectures on the theme, "Making Success Out of Failure", and the sequel to his autobiography, I Did It Otway (subtitled Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure) was published in May 2010. The book was designed by <mask> who has also designed Otway's album sleeves over the past 15 years. At Christmas 2014, <mask> attempted to crack the Christmas market with the EP A John Otway Christma5, the lead track "OK Father Christmas" basing a new lyric on top of the earlier single "DK 50/80". During 2016, <mask> set up an online Kickstarter campaign for 'A New Album of Otway Songs'. The campaign was successful, raising £38,916 from a total of 838 individual backers.The resulting album and DVD, Montserrat, was recorded at Olveston House, Montserrat, in September 2016 and released in March 2017, to those who had supported the Kickstarter campaign, followed by general release on 1 May 2017. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, <mask> started a series of Facebook live concerts on 28 March 2020. These receive around 10 thousand views per stream. He performed nine such between March and May 2020. Discography

title: Joseph Storey

texts:
<mask> (July 5, 1923 – August 12, 1975) was an internationally renowned architect based in Chatham, Ontario, Canada. He graduated from the University of Toronto School of Architecture in 1946. He designed hundreds of unique homes, stores, offices, and public buildings, and many of his designs from the 1950s and 1960s are still strikingly modern today. His working career spanned three decades, in which time he was also a popular member of Chatham city council. His dedication to his community made the profession of architecture synonymous with that of civic leadership and public service. Storey died suddenly on his way to work in 1975 at the age of 52. The Joseph Storey Architectural Conservancy celebrates his many contributions to his home town every summer with a walking tour of homes he designed.Building a career
After graduation from university, <mask> worked for one year in Toronto in the office of John Land Architect. After winning $750 in a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation competition, he returned to his hometown of Chatham, and at the age of twenty-four he established the practice of <mask>. <mask>, Architect in the fall of 1947. The reputation of the office was quickly established by Storey’s skilled translation of the functional clarity, simplicity, and elegant forms of modernism to the urban form of the then small town of Chatham. As Chatham doubled in size over the next twenty-five years, many of its new buildings found their origins in the office of <mask>. Landmark buildings of Chatham such as the Ursuline Convent, Ursuline Motherhouse Chapel and Ursuline College (1958–1962) the head office of Union Gas (1965, major addition in 1973), the Kent County Courthouse (1949), the Chatham YMCA (1962,) Kent County Municipal Building (1967), the Federal Post Office Building (1955), and the Chatham Civic Centre (1975) came from a close-knit dedicated core of talented people brought together by Storey. Bob Tyndall, Wally Stewart and Roger Duchene worked with <mask>'s firm from the early 1950s until Storey’s untimely passing in 1975. This team was joined by many other talented people through 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, such as architects and OAA members Douglas Hanley, Robert Steele, and James H. Jorden.<mask> brought a level of design and technical excellence that was consistent not only to landmark buildings, but also to elementary and secondary schools, churches, band shells, senior citizen residences, industrial buildings, and to Storey’s favourite challenge, the single family home. Scores of modest ingeniously-planned and executed residences dot the neighbourhoods of Chatham. Examples of his work can also be found in Windsor (The Energy Conversion Plant, University of Windsor), London (Brescia University College), Sarnia (YMCA) and in many other small towns in southwestern Ontario. Although Storey practised architecture out of the spotlight of Toronto, his work was innovative and progressive. His design for the Federal Post Office building (1955) featured the first use of curtain wall in Ontario. One of Storey’s more interesting unbuilt projects of his career is his design for the conversion of four abandoned sugar beet silos on industrial lands into apartments. This idea and the search for investors carried over a number of years.The value of recycling our industrial heritage is well known today, but the silos were unfortunately destroyed after Storey’s death. Ursuline College Chapel

The Ursuline Convent project began when Storey was thirty-two years old. It encompassed the designs for a major chapel, motherhouse, elementary and high school classrooms, and nursery school. Storey established a model here of translating the language of modernism to the traditional public and urban landscape of the small town. The architecture of the convent, known as The Pines integrated major works of art into the siting, the building, and their expressions. Storey maintained an excellent working relationship with the sisters of the Ursuline convent who were encouraging and adventurous clients, and subsequently recommended him highly to become the architect for a similar project for the Ursuline Religious Order in Lima, Peru. This project was prominently featured in both in the RAIC Journal and Progressive Architecture Magazine.The new buildings of the Pines in Chatham were sensitively sited with the nineteenth-century convent structures by making a series of connecting cloisters formed by both buildings and graceful covered walkways. This project has recently been identified by the Ontario branch of the international group for the Documentation and Conservation of the Modern Movement, to be included on a list of twenty-five examples of significant modern architecture in Ontario. Civic contribution
In addition to the very full schedule of his professional life, Storey was an active member of the local Rotary Club, and also served as member of the Chatham City Council in the years 1956, 1957 and 1958. During that tenure, he brought the Planning Act to Chatham and instituted the first Chatham Area Planning Board. Storey also served on the Ontario Association of Architects Council representing the St. Clair Region of several years. In the latter years of his practice, he turned his artistic talents to photography, and pioneered innovative photographic techniques in presentation and design stages of his work that is commonplace today. Death and descendants
<mask> died suddenly on his way in to work from his summer cottage in Rondeau Provincial Park in 1975 at the age of 52.His career, although filled with uncountable achievements, was only in its middle stage, and the most mature years of his work were yet to come. The sudden loss of his professional skills and civic leadership was felt keenly. <mask> was married to Marjorie Sunnen <mask> of Chatham (d. 2004) and is survived by his sons <mask>, principal of the planning firm of Storey Samways Planning Ltd., of Chatham, and <mask>, an environmental engineer in Vancouver, B.C., and daughters <mask> DuChene, a magazine editor and writer in the Kingston area, and architect <mask>, a partner in Brown and Storey Architects (Toronto) since 1981.

title: Yusef Komunyakaa

texts:
<mask> (born James William Brown; April 29, 1941) is an American poet who teaches at New York University and is a member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers. Komunyakaa is a recipient of the 1994 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, for Neon Vernacular and the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. He also received the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize. <mask> received the 2007 Louisiana Writer Award for his enduring contribution to poetry. His subject matter ranges from the black experience through rural Southern life before the Civil Rights era and his experience as a soldier during the Vietnam War. Life and career
According to public records, Komunyakaa was born in 1947 and given the name James William Brown. (His former wife said in her memoir that he was born in 1941.)He was the eldest of five children of James William Brown, a carpenter, and his wife. He grew up in the small town of Bogalusa, Louisiana. As an adult, he reclaimed the name Komunyakaa, said to be his grandfather's African name. He  said that his grandfather had reached the United States as a stowaway in a ship from Trinidad. Brown served in the US Army, serving one tour of duty in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. According to his former wife, Mandy Sayer, he was discharged on 14 December 1966. He worked as a specialist for the military paper, Southern Cross, covering actions and stories, interviewing fellow soldiers, and publishing articles on Vietnamese history, which earned him a Bronze Star.After his service, he attended college at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, where he was an editor for the campus arts and literature publication, riverrun, to which he also contributed. He began to write poetry in 1973 and took the name <mask> Komunyakaa. He earned his M.A. in Writing from Colorado State University in 1978, and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of California, Irvine, in 1980. After receiving his M.F.A., Komunyakaa began teaching poetry in the New Orleans public school system and creative writing at the University of New Orleans. Komunyakaa taught at Indiana University until the fall of 1997, when he became an English professor at Princeton University.<mask> <mask> is a professor in the Creative Writing Program at New York University. Poetry
 <mask>'s collection Copacetic fuses jazz rhythms and syncopation with hip colloquialism and the unique, arresting poetic imagery that has since become his trademark. It also outlines an abiding desire in his work to articulate cultural truths that remain unspoken in daily discourse, in the hope that they will bring a sort of redemption: "How can love heal / the mouth shut this way... / Say something that resuscitates / us, behind the masks." Komunyakaa's I Apologize for the Eyes in My Head, published in 1986, won the San Francisco Poetry Prize. More attention came with the publication of Dien Cai Dau (Vietnamese for "crazy in the head"), published in 1988, which focused on his experiences in Vietnam and won the Dark Room Poetry Prize. Included was the poem "Facing It", in which the speaker of the poems visits the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.:

He's lost his right arm
inside the stone. In the black mirror
a woman's trying to erase names
No, she's brushing a boy's hair.— from "Facing It"

Komunyakaa many other published collections of poetry, include Taboo: The Wishbone Trilogy, Part I (2004), Pleasure Dome: New and Collected Poems, 1975–1999 (2001), Talking Dirty to the Gods (2000), Thieves of Paradise (1998), Neon Vernacular (1994), and Magic City (1992). In 2004, Komunyakaa began a collaboration with dramaturge and theater producer Chad Gracia on a dramatic adaptation of The Epic of Gilgamesh. The play was published in October 2006 by Wesleyan University Press. In spring 2008, New York's 92nd Street Y staged a one-night performance by director Robert Scanlon. In May 2013 it received a full production by the Constellation Theatre Company in Washington, D.C.

Komunyakaa's work has influenced many later American poets. He views his own work as an indirectness, an "insinuation":
Poetry is a kind of distilled insinuation. It’s a way of expanding and talking around an idea or a question.Sometimes, more actually gets said through such a technique than a full frontal assault. Marriage and family
Komunyakaa married Australian novelist Mandy Sayer in 1985. That year, he was hired as an associate professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. He also held the Ruth Lilly Professorship for two years from 1989 to 1990. He and Sayer were married for ten years. He later had a relationship with India-born poet Reetika Vazirani, and they had a son Jehan together. Vazirani killed the two-year-old boy and committed suicide in 2003.Interviews
Over the years, <mask> has taken part in many interviews on his life and works. In a 2018 interview titled "The Complexity of Being Human," Komunyakaa addresses the careful use of language and influences of some of his most famous works such as "Facing It." He compares his work to that of a painter or carpenter. He states that poetry is vastly different from journalism in that his work is more violent, much like nature. In his interview "The Singing Underneath," Komunyakaa describes the biblical influences in his work. He recalls reading the Bible in his youth and discovering what he believed to be underlying poetic elements. Komunyakaa also pays his respects to early influences such as Langston Hughes, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Phillis Wheatley.In a 2010 interview by Tufts Observer, Komunyakaa when asked to list the individuals who most influenced him, he names Robert Hayden, Bishop, Pablo Neruda, and Walt Whitman. Below are a few of his most popular interviews:

Anu began performing as a dancer and later went on to sing back-up vocals for the Rainmakers, which included Neil Murray of the Warumpi Band. Her first recording was in 1993 with "Last Train", a dance remake of a Paul Kelly song.The follow-up, "Monkey and the Turtle", was based on a traditional story. After "My Island Home", she released her first album, Stylin' Up, which went platinum. In 1995, Neil Murray won an Australian Performing Right Association songwriting award for writing "My Island Home". Anu won an ARIA Award for best female recording artist as well as a Deadly Sounds National Aboriginal & Islander Music Awards award in 1996 for best female artist. Baz Luhrmann asked her to sing on the song "Now Until the Break of Day" on his Something for Everybody album. It was released as a single and the video then won another ARIA award and led to her being cast in Moulin Rouge!. In January 1998, Anu teamed up with Archie Roach, Paul Kelly, Judith Durham, Renee Geyer, Kutcha Edwards and Tiddas and formed Singers for the Red Black and Gold.Together they released a cover of "Yil Lull".

Anu has also had an acting career in film, stage and television. She appeared in Dating the Enemy, a 1996 Australian film starring Guy Pearce and Claudia Karvan. She then appeared in an Australian production of the stage musical Little Shop of Horrors in the same year. Anu's stage career developed with a starring role in the original Australian production of Rent in 1998 and 1999.Anu was offered a role in a Broadway production of this musical but had to decline due to commitments in recording her second album.

In 2004, she became a judge on Popstars Live, a television quest broadcast on the Seven Network at 6.30 pm on Sunday night in Australia along the lines of Australian Idol. The program failed to achieve a similar level of success, leading network executives to pressure the judges to offer harsher criticism of the contestants. Anu refused to offer harsher criticism, leading to her resignation as a judge in April 2004. In a statement issued on her departure, she said: "I chose to play a positive role model and wanted to encourage these young people in their endeavours, rather than criticise them.Although leaving Popstars Live was a difficult decision for me to make, I do feel somewhat relieved that I can now focus on my music."

title: Neil Boothby

texts:
Dr. <mask> is a psychologist and former US Government special advisor and senior coordinator to the USAID administrator on Children in Adversity, and former director of the Program on Forced Migration and Health at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Currently, he is the founding Director of the Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child at the University of Notre Dame (go.nd.edu/globalchild). His research focuses on the psychosocial consequences of organized violence on children. As a senior representative of UNICEF, UNHCR, and Save the Children, he has worked for more than 25 years with children in crises in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe and is an internationally recognized expert and advocate for children affected by war and displacement. He has received numerous awards for his work on behalf of war-affected children, including the Red Cross International Humanitarian of the Year Award, the Mickey Leland Award, the United Nation's Golden Achievement Award for Social Services, and Duke University's Humanitarian Service Award. Career
In the late 1980s <mask> was a psychologist at Duke University, and he worked for Save the Children at the Lhanguene children's center helping children who had been traumatized by exposure to armed conflict in Mozambique. He also served as an advisor to the Mozambican Ministry of Health in the attempt to develop national programs to address this problem.<mask>'s own research has focused on the effects of armed conflict and violence on children in Cambodia (1980–82), Mozambique (1988-2005), Guatemala (1983–86), former Yugoslavia (1992-3), Rwanda (1994–96), Darfur (2005–present), Palestine (2001-present), Sri Lanka, (2002–present), Uganda, (2005-2011) and Indonesia (1999-present). His longitudinal study of adult outcomes for child soldiers in Mozambique enabled him to identify interventions and community supports linked to positive life outcomes. Lessons learned from the Mozambique research are now being applied through operational agencies to current war-affected countries with large numbers of child soldiers. A second focus of his work has been on children separated from their families during war and refugee emergencies. His cornerstone study showed that many child-family separations are not accidental, but instead result from abductions and misguided agency policies and practices. This observation has been translated into international standards (including in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and UNHCR Refugee Policy) and inter-agency guidelines (International Committee of the Red Cross-UNICEF-Save the Children-International Rescue Committee). <mask> has served as principal investigator on numerous research projects.One project focuses on the application of public health methodologies to human rights concerns, specifically development of a method to establish prevalence rates of rape and gender-based violence among refugee women girls, as well as on children associated with fighting forces. A second research project focuses on the development of an evidence base for efficacious child protection programming in crisis situations, in partnerships with operational agencies in five countries: Sierra Leone, Liberia, (northern) Uganda; Sri Lanka; and (Aceh) Indonesia. A general theme emerging from this research is the importance of the household as the main component of protection systems for children. In 2005, Boothby founded the Care and Protection of Children Interagency Learning Network — a constellation of international and national agencies worldwide working on the development of an evidence base for efficacious child protection programming in war, disaster and post crises settings. The network has engaged in long-term research in eight countries: Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Uganda, Palestine, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Within this context, Boothby helped to create academic centers at the University of Indonesia (Center on Child Protection) and Makerere University (Center for the Study of the African Child). In 2012, Boothby took a leave of absence from Columbia University to serve as the US government's special adviser and the USAID administrator's senior coordinator for Children in Adversity.Under his leadership, the US Government developed its first ever whole of government foreign assistance policy for children globally. The policy guides some $2.85 billion annual expenditures by nine US government agencies in low and middle income countries. During this time, Boothby also founded the Global Alliance for Children in Adversity, a public-private partnership dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing children in low and middle income countries. <mask> returned to academia in March 2015. In 2019, <mask> joined the University of Notre Dame as research faculty and founding Director of the Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child, which is housed within the university's Institute for Educational Initiatives. His interdisciplinary teams strives to make certain positive outcomes for children and youth who face adversity. Currently, the Initiative works with non-governmental organizations, policy makers, communities and other stakeholders in seven countries: Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, India, Kenya, Tanzania, and Peru.The goal of their work is to create environments that "not only fulfill children’s and youth’s basic needs, but also promote nurturing relationships, socio-emotional skills, and civic engagement." He received a D.Ed. from Harvard University. (https://ncdp.columbia.edu)
