Huddersfield Town
Born and raised in Wolverhampton, <mask> became a lifelong fan of Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, he turned professional at Second Division club Huddersfield Town in November 1961. He made his debut under manager Eddie Boot in the 1962–63 campaign, and was given the residence of the recently departed Denis Law. He did not feature in 1963–64, appeared just twice in 1964–65, and did not get a game in 1965–66.He played two games at the start of the 1966–67 season, before manager <mask> allowed him a move to Second Division rivals Carlisle United in December 1966. Carlisle United
Rudge made an immediate impact at Brunton Park, scoring seven goals in 14 appearances, including a hat-trick in a 6–1 win over Bolton Wanderers, as Tim Ward's "Cumbrians" finished third in 1966–67, six points short of promotion. Over the course of the 1967–68 campaign he scored nine goals in 29 league and cup games, as Carlisle posted a tenth-place finish. He made just five goalless appearances in 1968–69, and in January 1969 manager Bob Stokoe handed him a free transfer to Torquay United of the Third Division. Torquay United
He found the net just twice in 14 appearances before the end of the campaign for Allan Brown's "Gulls". He then found his form in 1969–70, finishing as the club's top scorer with 16 goals in 35 league and cup matches. He continued to regularly find the net in 1970–71, hitting 21 goals in 43 appearances, as Torquay finished tenth.However, he scored just twice in 12 games in 1971–72, as the club suffered relegation under Jack Edwards. <mask> escaped this fate as he left Plainmoor in February 1972, signing a contract with Bill Dodgin's Bristol Rovers. Bristol Rovers
After three goals in eight games towards the end of the campaign, <mask> hit 12 goals in 29 appearances in 1972–73, as the club pushed for promotion under new manager Don Megson. The "Pirates" achieved their goal in 1973–74, as they finished runners-up of the Third Division; however <mask> played only 15 games, scoring five goals. He featured just three times in 1974–75, and moved on to <mask> played seven games for the "Cherries", and could not prevent them from being relegated into the Fourth Division at the end of the campaign. He missed most of the 1975–76 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon, and made only 11 league appearances in 1976–77, scoring twice.His career was ended at age 32, owing to his Achilles tendon injury. He had scored a total of 78 goals in 267 appearances in all competitions. Coaching career

Manager of Port Vale
Following his retirement as a player, <mask> was made a coach at old club Torquay United. In January 1980 he was appointed as a coach at Port Vale, after <mask> was recommended to new manager <mask>. <mask> was promoted to the position of assistant manager in December 1980. Following the sacking of McGrath in December 1983, <mask> was made caretaker manager at Port Vale. Under McGrath, the club had lost thirteen of their opening seventeen league games.The club had the third highest budget in the division, a weekly wage bill of three times that of the home gate receipts and were rooted to the foot of the table, nine points from their nearest competitors. <mask> understated things somewhat when he said: "We cannot change things overnight." However, player Tommy Gore noted "the players are in a more determined mood." He signed left sided midfielder Kevin Young on loan, and switched Eamonn O'Keefe from midfield to the attack. He was appointed as manager on a permanent basis on 9 March. He was unable to prevent relegation that year, though the club did avoid picking up the wooden spoon. Though Mark Bright and Robbie Earle were signed to Vale before <mask>'s appointment, he helped to nurture their talents, both were the first of many to develop into outstanding players under <mask>.In reality, the task in 1984–85 was to arrest the decline. <mask> achieved this aim, slashing the wage bill to offset the club's reduced income, the Vale finished 12th. Young striker Andy Jones was purchased for £3,000 from Rhyl. In 1985–86, promotion was the target. An eighteen-game unbeaten run from January to April helped to win Vale a fourth place promotion place, seven points clear of fifth place Leyton Orient. At the end of the season, <mask> turned down an offer of the management job at Preston North End. Major signings for the start of the 1986–87 season were Mark Grew and Ray Walker (£12,000 from Aston Villa), who would feature heavily for the club in the coming years, as well as Paul Smith.Smith was purchased for £10,000 from Sheffield United and was sold for four times that figure to Lincoln City just over a year later. The club finished mid-table, twelve points above the drop. The winter signing of veteran Bob Hazell helped to shore up the Vale's defence. At the end of the season, Bill Bell was made the club's chairman. Also Darren Beckford was signed from Manchester City for £15,000. He would become the club's top scorer for the next four seasons. In 1987–88, Vale were once again comfortable in mid-table.The cash-flow problem was eased by the sale of Andy Jones to Charlton Athletic for £350,000. <mask> spent £75,000 for Simon Mills from York City, who would be a firm fixture in the first team for the next five seasons. On 20 January the club achieved a famous 2–0 victory over top-flight Spurs in the FA Cup. Before the cup run there were rumours that the directors were considering sacking <mask> due to a poor run of results in the league. The cup run and the sale of Jones helped to put the club in the black financially for the first time in a long time. The 1988–89 season was highly successful, and <mask> signed a new two-year contract after Port Vale beat Bristol Rovers in the play-off Final. For the first time in thirty two years, Vale were in the Second Division.A new club record was set in January 1989, as <mask> purchased classy defender Dean Glover from Middlesbrough for £200,000. The next month he added Liverpool winger <mask> to the squad for £35,000, using the money he received from selling Steve Harper to Preston North End. To boost the side for the oncoming 1989–90 season, defender Neil Aspin was purchased from Leeds United for £150,000, Aspin would play over 300 games for Vale in the next ten years. £125,000 was splashed out on striker Nicky Cross, who would play around 150 games over the next five years. Vale fans were not used to such purchases, but compared to other teams in the division, the money spent was quite modest. Now on a par with rivals Stoke City, both league games ended as draws, though Stoke were relegated in bottom place. Delighted with his team, he made few changes in preparation for the 1990–91 campaign.Vale once again finished comfortably in mid-table. £80,000 was spent on Dutch midfielder Robin van der Laan, over the next five years he would become a key player. In June 1992, <mask> again broke the club's transfer record, picking up striker Martin Foyle for £375,000 from Oxford United. Foyle would be a dominant figure at the club throughout the 1990s. The money for these acquisitions came from the sale of midfield dynamo Robbie Earle to Wimbledon. In 1991–92, the club finished in last place, five points short of the safety of Oxford United. The club were still a Second Division club due to the creation of the Premier League, though they were now in the third tier.Ian Taylor became another masterstroke signing, after he was purchased from non-league Moor Green for £15,000 in May 1992. <mask> managed his team to Wembley twice in 1993, winning the Football League Trophy final 2–1 over Stockport County, but losing the play-off final 3–0 to West Bromwich Albion. His team had proved however that they were too good to remain in the third tier for long. In 1993–94 the club went up in second place, also beating top-flight Southampton in the FA Cup. At the end of the season, Ian Taylor was sold to Sheffield Wednesday, becoming the club's first million pound sale. The club consolidated their First Division status in 1994–95, finishing ten points above the drop. The money from Taylor's sale was reinvested into £225,000 Steve Guppy from Newcastle United and £15,000 striker Tony Naylor from nearby Crewe Alexandra.Both men would prove to be good buys, Naylor being a three time top scorer. At the end of the season, Van der Laan was sold to Derby County for £475,000 plus Lee Mills. £450,000 of this sum was reinvested in York City midfielder Jon McCarthy. £50,000 was also spent on midfielder Ian Bogie. In 1995–96, his team finished 12th in the First Division. <mask> had Port Vale playing some of the best football ever witnessed at Vale Park. This was mainly due to his perseverance with playing a standard 4–4–2 – employing wingers who became the focal point of much of the attacking play.The club achieved another giant-slaying by vanquishing Everton in the FA Cup. He also led Vale to the final of the Anglo-Italian Cup, where they lost out to Genoa. In 1996–97, the club finished in eighth place, their best ever post-war finish. Once again they were the best side in the Potteries. In February, he sold Guppy to Martin O'Neill's Leicester City for £850,000. Gareth Ainsworth was purchased for £500,000 from Lincoln City at the start of the 1997–98 season. This was paid for by the sale of McCarthy to Birmingham City for £1.5 million.Vale finished a disappointing 19th, a mere point away from relegation. At the start of the 1998–99 season, Ainsworth was sold to Wimbledon for £2 million. Mills was also sold to Bradford City for £1 million. The club came even closer to relegation, finishing above 22nd place Bury on goal difference. However <mask> had already departed, Chairman Bill Bell gave him the sack on 18 January 1999. It truly was the end of an era at Vale Park. This caused outrage amongst Port Vale fans who held a "flat cap protest" (<mask>'s headwear of choice) to display their disgust.One last present from <mask> to the Vale fans was the signing of Marcus Bent for £300,000 from Crystal Palace, just days before <mask>'s sacking. However new manager Brian Horton let Bent go for £375,000. In November 2000, Bent was sold by Sheffield United to Blackburn Rovers for £2 million. Another star of the late <mask> era was Anthony Gardner. Gardner was retained by Vale, and was sold to Spurs for £1 million in January 2000. <mask> was awarded £300,000 compensation by an employment tribunal. He had been at the helm for 843 Port Vale games.Following the dismissal, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Every Port Vale supporter should get down on their knees and thank The Lord for <mask>." Director of football at Stoke City

<mask> was appointed as director of football at Stoke City in 1999, after turning down the same role at Port Vale. <mask> had hoped to retire on his own terms at Vale and become a director of football at the club under a "with someone like Robbie Earle as manager". He was offered the management job at Stoke but turned it down. He has never held ambitions of being appointed manager at Stoke, and has been Director of Football under five men: Gary Megson, Guðjón Þórðarson, Steve Cotterill, Johan Boskamp and Tony Pulis. On 2 November 2005, he had a public fall-out with then manager Johan Boskamp at Highfield Road. <mask> went down the dug-out during the 2–1 win over Coventry City to give some advice to Boskamp.The Dutchman took offence to this and said to the board 'either he goes or I go', under the belief that <mask> had overstepped the mark. <mask> maintains though, that Boskamp used the incident as a ploy, in an attempt to be paid off by Stoke as the Dutchman couldn't handle the pressure of the English game. <mask> points to the evidence that he talked Boskamp out of quitting during the pre-season. <mask> and his assistant Jan de Koning were twice suspended by Stoke, after disagreements with Boskamp. Following Boskamp's departure and the arrival of new chairman Peter Coates, <mask> was reinstated in his role. When the club achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2007–08, <mask> was at a top-flight club for the first time since entering the game 46 years ago, in 1962. <mask> left the Britannia Stadium at the end of the 2012–13 season in a 'major shake-up' of the club's scouting network.He left Stoke in May 2013, ending a 14-year spell at the club. After leaving Stoke he then spent the next four years scouting for Hull City. Return to Port Vale
On 4 October 2017, he returned to Port Vale in an advisory role to assist his former defender Neil Aspin, who had just been appointed manager. He was appointed as club president on 10 August 2019. Managerial style
Though he got his teams to play good football he was meticulous and rather cautious. He thoroughly researched opposition players and informed his players on weaknesses to exploit and strengths to watch out for. He was reluctant to use substitutions unless a player was injured as he believed in the first eleven he had selected could get the job done over the ninety minutes.He tended not to lose his temper after a bad performance, and instead Robbie Earle said that he had the "ability to make you feel guilty about playing badly". He had the knack of spotting talented players, signing them cheaply, and then selling them on to bigger clubs for a large profit. As well as being an excellent judge of talent, he also had to be a skilled negotiator. In all he made a net income for Port Vale of almost £10 million in the transfer market. Career statistics

He was born in the Sivrialan village of the Şarkışla district, in the province of Sivas. He was an ashik, poet, songwriter, and a bağlama virtuoso, the prominent representative of the Anatolian ashik tradition in the 20th century. He was blind for most of his lifetime. His songs are usually sad tunes, often dealing with the inevitability of death. However, <mask> used a wide range of themes for his lyrics; based on morals, values, and constant questioning of issues such as love, care, beliefs, and how he perceived the world as a blind man. Biography

Early life
Smallpox was prevalent throughout the Ottoman region that included Sivas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.His mother Gülizar and his farmer father Karaca Ahmet had already lost two daughters to smallpox before <mask> was born. He is the fifth of their six children. When <mask> turned seven in 1901, another smallpox outbreak occurred in Sivas, and <mask> contracted the disease as well. He became blind in his left eye and a cataract developed in his right eye. After an accident, his right eye was blinded as well. His father gave his blind son a bağlama and recited many folk poems to him. Poets of the region also started to drop by Ahmet Şatıroğlu’s house as well with their friends.They played instruments and sang songs. <mask> used to listen to them carefully. <mask>, the child bağlama player
<mask> devoted himself wholeheartedly to playing bağlama and singing. He was first instructed by his father's friend, Çamışıhlı Ali Aga (Âşık Alâ), who taught him about the works of Pir Sultan Abdal, Karacaoğlan, Dertli, Rühsati and other great Alevi poets and ashiks of Anatolia. World War I and after
<mask> was 20 when the First World War started. All of his friends and his brother rushed to the front, but because of his blindness he was left alone with his bağlama. After the war, he married a woman named Esma, who bore him a daughter and a son.The son died 10 days after birth. On 24 February 1921 <mask>'s mother died, followed eighteen months later by his father. By then Esma had left him and their six-month-old daughter, running off with a servant from his brother's house. His daughter also died at a young age. 1930s
He met Ahmet Kutsi Tecer, a literature teacher in Sivas High School, who along with his colleagues founded the Association For Preservation of Folk Poets in 1931. On 5 December 1931 they organized  the Fest of Folk Poets, which lasted for three days. <mask>'s meeting with Ahmet Kutsi Tecer thus marked a turning point in his life.Until 1933, <mask> played and sang the poems of master ozans. In the tenth anniversary of the Republic, upon the directives of Ahmet Kutsi Tecer, all folk poets wrote poems about the Republic and Mustafa Kemal. <mask> submitted a poem starting with the line "Atatürk is the revival of Turkey...". This poem came into daylight only after <mask> left his village. Ali Rıza Bey, the mayor of Ağcakışla to which Sivrialan was then affiliated, had much appreciation for <mask>'s poem and wanted to send it to Ankara. <mask> said he would like to go to visit the nation's leader, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and traveled to Ankara on foot with his faithful friend İbrahim under tough winter conditions. They arrived in Ankara three months later.<mask> resided with his hospitable friends for forty five days in Ankara. Sadly, he was unable to present his poem to Atatürk. His mother Gülizar said that "He felt bitter regret for two things in life: first not having been able to visit the great leader, and second, not being able to join the army…". However, his poem was printed in a printing house named Hakimiyeti Milliye in Ulus, and was published in the newspaper for three days. Then, he started to travel around the country to perform his poems. <mask> said the following about this time in his life:

In 2000, a compilation album of Âşık Veysel's songs named Âşık Veysel Klasikleri was released. In 2008, Joe Satriani's album Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock featured two songs called Âşık Veysel and Andalusia, which were dedicated to Âşık Veysel. In the same year, a remixed version of Âşık <mask>'s song Uzun İnce Bir Yoldayım was featured as the main theme in a Turkish film series, Gece Gündüz. Uzun İnce Bir Yoldayım (lyrics)

<mask> (March 27, 1931December 7, 2020) was an American writer and literary advisor of the estate of C.S. Lewis. He was a literary trustee for Owen Barfield from December 1997 to October 2006. <mask> was born in Reidsville, North Carolina, United States. He earned an M.A. in education in 1958 from the University of North Carolina<ref>Crockford's Clerical Directory’’, 1973-74, 85th Edition, p 457.</ref> and was an instructor in English at the University of Kentucky in the early 1960s. He served briefly in 1963 as C.S.Lewis's private secretary when Lewis was in declining health. He devoted himself to Lewis's memory after his death in November 1963, eventually taking up residence in Oxford, England, where he lived until his death. <mask> became a C.S. Lewis papers custodian, advocate, and editor of his works. The Lewis papers, as researched by <mask>, contain primary data on the friendship between Lewis and his fellow Oxford don J.R.R. Tolkien. <mask> also studied for the Anglican ministry at St Stephen's House, Oxford and was ordained deacon in 1964 and priest in 1965.He was Chaplain of Wadham College, Oxford 1965-67 and Assistant Chaplain of Jesus College, Oxford 1967-70. He converted to the Catholic Church in 1988, and was a daily communicant at the Oxford Oratory. He described meeting Pope John Paul II in 1984, when still an Anglican, as "When the pope walked into the room it was as if Aslan himself had arrived." <mask> died from complications of COVID-19 on 7 December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in England at the age of 89.

In 1972 <mask> was awarded the second annual Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies, for scholarly contribution to the criticism and appreciation of the epic fantasy literature generated by the Inklings School, by the Mythopoeic Society. Controversy
In 1977, <mask> published the unfinished science fiction novel The Dark Tower, a previously unknown work by C.S. Lewis. The novel resembles Lewis's known works in some ways and departs from them in others. A school of critics headed by Kathryn Lindskoog accused <mask> of either forging the work in toto or adding a lot of padding onto small fragments of an unknown work by Lewis to create the published work.Lindskoog also questioned the authenticity of other posthumously published works edited by <mask>. <mask> rejected these accusations, and independent research exists to disprove them and confirm the authenticity of the posthumous Lewis works edited by <mask>. Professor Alastair Fowler of the University of Edinburgh had Lewis as his doctoral supervisor in 1952, and he recalls discussing The Dark Tower with his mentor. This is a firsthand account of the manuscript's existence during Lewis' lifetime.Harry Lee Poe, "Shedding Light on the Dark Tower," Christianity Today, February 2, 2007 Lewis' stepson Douglas Gresham also disagrees with Lindskoog's forgery claims. "The whole controversy thing was engineered for very personal reasons…. Her fanciful theories have been pretty thoroughly discredited." Related works

title: Mario Pannunzio

texts:
<mask> (5 March 1910 - 10 February 1968) was an Italian journalist and politician. As a journalist he was the director in charge of the daily newspaper Risorgimento Liberale (Liberal reawakening) in the 1940s and of the weekly political magazine Il Mondo (The World) in the 1950s. As a politician he was a co-founder of the revived Italian Liberal Party in the 1940s and then of the Radical Party in 1955. Life

Early years
<mask> was born in Lucca, a prosperous Tuscan city a short distance inland to the north of Pisa. He was the second son of <mask>, a lawyer of strong communist proclivities originally from the Abruzzo region. The boy's mother, Emma Bernardini, came from a traditional catholic family from the minor aristocracy. When <mask> was 10 his father fell foul of the local Fascists and the family were obliged to relocate, ending up in Rome which is where <mask> completed his schooling at the prestigious liceo classico Mamiani (classical secondary school).After this, respectful of his father's wishes, he enrolled at Rome University, emerging on 6 July 1931 with a degree in jurisprudence. The grade of his university degree was indifferent:  he had been keen to obtain his degree quickly in order to clear the way for dedicating himself to his real passion, which was not for law but for art. While still at university he became a regular visitor at the Caffè Aragno in the city centre, which was a favourite meeting point for cerebrally inclined intellectuals during the 1930s. He himself became known as "lo Sfaccendato" ("the idler") at the cafe according to one commentator, although his later achievements suggest that the judgement may have rested on incomplete information. In 1931 he took part in the "Prima quadriennale d'arte nazionale" (art exhibition) which ran from January till August 1931, exhibiting several pictures including a portrait of his sister, Sandrina. By 1934, however, he had abandoned painting, turning instead to literary criticism. He got to know Attilio Riccio, formerly a fellow law student, who introduced him to this new milieu, and joined the editorial team of "Il Saggiatore", a short-lived left-field cultural magazine which had originated as a student publication.He contributed reviews and articles in which he discussed the general characteristics and purpose of the novel. It was also around this time that he renewed his acquaintance with Arrigo Benedetti (the two had known each other as children in Lucca.) and began his long friendship with Ennio Flaiano. Between 1933 and 1935 he was involved in three magazines, founded with a group of friends:
 "Oggi. Settimanale di lettere ed arti" (later "Rassegna mensile") was produced between May 1931 and May 1934. The "Oggi" group was formed by Pannunzio, together with Antonio Delfini, Eurialo De Michelis, Guglielmo Serafini and Elio Talarico. The project elaborated a debate on the renewal of Italian literature.The magazine claimed for itself a "neo-realist orientation" over the issues of the age, and contrasted this with the more traditional existing approach represented by publications such as "Strapaese" and "Il Selvaggio", both of which opposed the avante garde extremes encountered during the early decades of the twentieth century. Other sources state simply that "Oggi" was closed down after February 1942 at the request of Georg von Mackensen, the German ambassador. "La Corrente", co-founded with Alberto Moravia. "Caratteri", launched in March 1935 and surviving till July of that year. <mask> founded it together with Arrigo Benedetti and Antonio Delfini. These early experiences of journalism would be highly significant:  Panunzio understood "the enormous influence of journalism", a form of communication he had been inclined to overlook when, as a very young man, he had been preoccupied with communicating through art and literary criticism. It was in 1935 that <mask> married Mary Malina, a young Hungarian actress whom he had met at a Rome theatre.The marriage was childless. During 1936 and 1937 Pannunzio devoted himself to cinema. Basing himself at the newly established Experimental film centre in Rome, he directed the short film "Vecchio Tabarin" ("Old Tabarin"). Journalism and the Rotogravure printing process
He switched to journalism in 1937 invited, with Arrigo Benedetti to join the editorial team on "Omnibus". Newly set up by Leo Longanesi, and operated under the auspices of the Rizzoli-Corriere della Sera group, the weekly news magazine was produced using the then innovative Rotogravure printing process. Pannunzio contributed as the film critic. However, in February 1939 "Omnibus" was closed down by the government.By this time two years working on Longanesi's periodical had provided Pannunzio with an effective apprenticeship in an editorial office. Identified as one of the best of Longanesi's "apprentices", <mask> was invited to Milan by Angelo Rizzoli who was planning to launch a new magazine using "Rotogravure". With Benedetti, Pannunzio now set about creating a new intellectual focus for non-mainstream intellectuals. He chose to use the title of his earlier short-lived publication, "Oggi" ("Today"). On this occasion Oggi survived till January 1942 before it was closed down by the Fascist authorities after it published an article by a contributor whom they disliked. Pannunzio returned to Rome. Later that year the Mussolini government fell.Pannunzio joined with Leo Longanesi to compose the editorial which appeared in Il Messaggero on 26/27 July 1943, celebrating the return of liberty. During the German occupation of Rome (which began on 8 September 1943), Pannunzio formed a clandestine liberal grouping with like minded friends in the city, "the Italian liberal movement". The mouthpiece of the movement, "Risorgimento Liberale"("Liberal Re-awakening") was a notionally daily newspaper, published at irregular intervals during the second half of 1943 and thereafter till the liberation of Rome (4 June 1944). During December 1943 <mask> was arrested by Nazis while he was in the newspaper's print works:  he spent several months in the Regina Coeli (prison). After the liberation, <mask> was appointed director of "Risorgimento Liberale", which now became the official newspaper of the newly reconstituted Italian Liberal Party. (The old liberal party had been banned under the Fascist regime which preferred to operate with a one-party political structure.) The middle and later 1940s were characterised by powerful political disagreement in Italy.Pannunzio did not hesitate to oppose the National Liberation Committee ("Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale" / CLN), a broad coalition of political groupings united only by opposition to Fascism and, until the general election of June 1946, the closest thing occupied post-war Italy had to a government. He was particularly critical of the CLN's muted response to the Foibe massacres, ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia and over the issue of Italian prisoners still held in the Soviet Union after the end of the war. For Pannunzio anti-Stalinism went hand in had with anti-Fascism, a political viewpoint that was far from mainstream on the Italian left, and not universal among many in the political centre. At the end of 1947 Roberto Lucifero was appointed General Secretary of the Italian Liberal Party. This reflected events at the Party Congress of November 1947 which had been widely interpreted as a take-over by the party's right wing. (Lucifero himself was a fervent monarchist, which in the eyes of some was the next worst thing to a closet fascist.) <mask> now joined the former party leader, Leone Cattani, and others, in resigning his party membership.Later he joined Altiero Spinelli's European Federalist Movement. "Il Mondo"
Pannunzio now received separate offers from the journalist turned media magnate Gianni Mazzocchi and from the Rizzoli-Corriere della Sera group to take on leadership of a new magazine. In both cases he was offered the opportunity of a "blank canvas" in respect of design and editorial positioning. After carefully evaluating both propositions, Pannunzio chose Mazzocchi. Preparing for launch took place during 1948 and early 1949. In the meantime, Pannunzio contributed to the weekly magazine L'Europeo, produced by Gianni Mazzocchi and under the editorial control of his friend Arrigo Benedetti. Pannunzio took on "political editorship" work at the magazine's Rome office.For his own daily newspaper he took the name "Il Mondo" (the world), reviving, not for the first time, the name of an earlier publication that had been closed down under the Mussolini government. The first edition of "Il Mondo" appeared on 19 February 1949. Thanks to the personal prestige of its founders the new newspaper quickly became a focus for collecting and presenting the important intellectual developments of the time. The number and the quality of its contributors combined with the various issues tackled made its managing editor, <mask> an informal but influential member of the political class, despite operating from outside from outside the conventional parliamentary institutions. The use he made of this privilege to exercise his influence responsibly made him an excellent role model for a rising generation of "political opinion journalists". By 1951 Pannunzio had become politically influential among liberals and members of the intellectual class:  when he rejoined the Italian Liberal Party that year, there were many "friends of Il Mondo" who did the same. The Radical Party
In 1954 the Italian Liberal Party elected a new party secretary, Giovanni Malagodi which was widely perceived s another lurch to the right.On 15 July 1954 <mask>, Carandini, Libonati and Paggi reacted by resigning - in Panninzio's case for the second time - from the Liberal Party. This time the splitting of the Liberal Party led to the establishment in Rome on 9 December 1955 of a new party, the "Radical Party of Liberals and Democrats" ("Partito radicale dei democratici e dei liberali"). Unsurprisingly, the party quickly came to be known simply as the Radical Party. Leading co-founders of the Radical Party included Leopoldo Piccardi, Ernesto Rossi, Leo Valiani, Guido Calogero, Giovanni Ferrara, Paolo Ungari, Eugenio Scalfari and the man who became the longstanding leader of the Radical Party, Marco Pannella. The leaders of the new party were able to claim a degree of "liberal authenticity" superior to what remained of the Liberal Party. It was they who had clandestinely refounded the Liberal Party back in the 1940s. <mask> himself had been imprisoned during the German occupation for "antifascist resistance" between October 1943 and February 1944, after which it was he who had taken on leadership of the Risorgimento Liberale, the daily newspaper which, it could be argued (and was), had defined postwar Italian liberalism between 1943 and 1948.When the party was launched <mask> and Leo Valiani were two of the most high-profile members of its provisional executive committee. By 1962 it was the Radical Party that was fracturing. Members elected that year to the party national executive were Bruno Villabruna, Leopoldo Piccardi, Ernesto Rossi and Marco Pannella. <mask> and Benedetti broke with the majority and withdrew. The causes of the breach were a combination of political and personal differences, with additional bitterness triggered by allegations on the activities of Leopoldo Piccardi during the Fascist years. It was believed that Piccardi had collaborated in 1941. Ernesto Rossi insisted that Piccardi should therefore be expelled from the party, but he failed to obtain a majority for this.Pannunzio was among those who opposed the expulsion proposal. Rossi became determined to get his own back against Pannunzio. He set about obtaining and photocopying articles from the weekly magazine "Oggi" covering the years from 1939 to 1943, in order to find material that he might use to challenge Pannunzio's own anti-fascist credentials. When Pannunzio discovered that Rossi was in the process of building up a personal dossier on him, the break between the two former friends was complete. Relations between Pannunzio and Rossi became "icy":   Rossi's contributions to Il Mondo ceased. Death
Il Mondo (The World) closed in March 1966. During his last couple of years <mask> withdrew from public life, instead spending his time at home in his private library, which by this time comprised approximately 30,000 volumes.He died in Rome, supported by his wife, on 10 February 1968. The cause of his death was given as pulmonary fibrosis caused, according to at least one source, by his excessive smoking. References

title: Walter fitz Alan

texts:
<mask> (1177) was a twelfth-century English baron who became a Scottish magnate and Steward of Scotland. He was a younger son of <mask>z Flaad and Avelina de Hesdin. In about 1136, <mask> entered into the service of David I, King of Scotland. He became the king's dapifer or steward in about 1150, and served as such for three successive Scottish kings: David, Malcolm IV and William I. In time, the stewardship became hereditarily held by <mask>'s descendants. <mask> started his career as a minor English baron. Upon arriving in Scotland, however, he received a substantial grant of lands from his Scottish sovereigns.These included the western provincial lordships of: Mearns, Strathgryfe, Renfrew and North Kyle. The caput of <mask>'s holdings is uncertain, although there is reason to suspect it was either Dundonald Castle or Renfrew Castle. <mask> was a benefactor of several religious houses, and was the founder of Paisley Priory. There is reason to suspect that <mask> took part in the Siege of Lisbon against the Moors in 1147. He probably assisted Malcolm in the series of Scottish invasions of Galloway in the 1160, which resulted in the downfall of Fergus, Lord of Galloway. In fact, <mask> and the other colonial lords settled in western Scotland were probably intended to protect the Scottish realm from external threats located in regions such as Galloway and the Isles. In 1164, Somairle mac Gilla Brigte, King of the Isles invaded Scotland and was defeated near Renfrew.It is possible that the commander of the local Scottish forces was <mask> himself. <mask> was married to Eschina de Londres, an apparent member of the Londres/London family. There is reason to suspect that she was also matrilineally descended from a family native to southern Scotland. If correct, this could explain why <mask> was granted the lands of Mow. Alternately, it is possible that Eschina's rights to Mow merely stemmed from her marriage to <mask>. Eschina and <mask> were the parents of <mask>, <mask>'s successor. The couple may have also been the parents of a Christina, a woman who married into the Brus and Dunbar families.<mask> was an ancestor of the Stewart family, from which descended the royal Stewart/Stuart dynasty. He died in 1177. Ancestry and arrival in Scotland

<mask> was a member of the Fitz <mask> family. He was born in about 1110. <mask> was a son of <mask> Flaald (died 1121×) and Avelina de Hesdin. <mask> and Avelina had three sons: Jordan, William and <mask>. <mask>'s father was a Breton knight who was granted lands in Shropshire by Henry I, King of England.Previous to this, <mask> had acted as steward to the bishops of Dol in Brittany. <mask> was a minor English landholder. He held North Stoke, north of Arundel, by way of a grant from his brother, William. There is reason to suspect that <mask> also held Manhood, south of Chichester. He also held land at "Conelon" or "Couten", a place that possibly refers to Cound in Shropshire. <mask> appears to have arrived in Scotland in about 1136, during the reign of David I, King of Scotland. Following Henry's death in 1135, the Fitz Alans evidently sided with David in his support of the contested English royal claims of Henry's daughter, Matilda.Certainly, both William and <mask> witnessed acts of Matilda in 1141. In any event, the date of <mask>'s introduction into Scotland may be marked by the original part of the so-called "foundation charter" of Melrose Abbey, which records <mask> as a witness. <mask> served as David's  or  (steward). He served in this capacity for three successive Scottish kings: David, Malcolm IV and William I. <mask> is increasingly attested by royal charters from about 1150, and it is possible that it was at about this time that David granted him the stewardship to be held heritably. As the king's steward, <mask> would have been responsible for the day-to-day running of the king's household. Whilst the chamberlain was responsible for the king's sleeping compartments, the steward oversaw the king's hall. It is possible that David sought to replace the Gaelic office of  ("food-divider") with that of the steward.This office certainly appears to have been a precursor to the stewardship. <mask>'s ancestors were stewards to the Breton lords of Dol. In fact, his elder brother, Jordan, inherited this stewardship from their father, and held this office at the time of <mask>'s own establishment in Scotland. As such, it is probable that <mask> possessed a degree of experience in the profession. <mask> lived during a period in history when Scottish monarchs sought to attract men to their kingdom by promising them gifts of land. To such kings, royal authority depended upon their ability to give away territories in the peripheries of the realm. Although the twelfth-century Scottish monarchs did not create any new earldoms for the incoming Anglo-Norman magnates, they did grant them provincial lordships.The most important of these mid-century colonial establishments were: Annandale for Robert de Brus; Upper Eskdale and Ewesdale for Robert Avenel; Lauderdale and Cunningham for Hugh de Morville; Liddesdale for Ranulf de Sules; and Mearns, Strathgryfe, Renfrew and North Kyle for <mask> himself. As a result of their tenure in high office, and their dominating regional influence, these provincial lords were equal to the native Scottish earls in all but rank. In 1161×1162, Malcolm confirmed <mask>'s stewardship, and confirmed David's grants of Renfrew, Paisley, Pollock, "Talahret", Cathcart, Dripps, Mearns, Eaglesham, Lochwinnoch and Innerwick. He also granted Walter West Partick, Inchinnan, Stenton, Hassenden, Legerwood and Birkenside, as well as a toft with twenty acres in every burgh and demesne in the realm. For this grant, <mask> owed his sovereign the service of five knights. The grant of lodgings in every important royal settlement would have only been entrusted to people particularly close to the king, and to those who were expected to travel with him. The impressive list of twenty-nine eminent men who attested this transaction appears to be evidence that the proceedings took place in a public setting before the royal court.At some point during his career, <mask> received North Kyle from either David or Malcolm. Also in 1161×1162—perhaps on the same date as Malcolm's aforesaid charter to <mask>—the king granted <mask> the lands of Mow for the service of one knight. There is reason to suspect that David's original grant of lands to <mask> took place in 1136. Certainly in 1139×1146, <mask> witnessed a charter of David to the cathedral of Glasgow in which the king invested the cathedral with assets from Carrick, Cunningham, Strathgryfe and Kyle. In 1165, <mask> is stated to have held lands worth two knight's fees in Shropshire. As such, the vast majority of his holdings were located north of the Anglo-Scottish border. Ecclesiastical actions

<mask> was a benefactor of Melrose Abbey, and granted this religious house the lands of Mauchline in Ayrshire.He also granted his lands in Dunfermline and Inverkeithing to Dunfermline Abbey. <mask> founded Paisley Priory in about 1163. This religious house was initially established at Renfrew—at King's Inch near Renfrew Castle—before removing to Paisley within a few years. The fact that <mask> made this a Cluniac monastery could be evidence that he was personally devoted to the Cluniac Wenlock Priory in Shropshire. Alternately, the decision to associate Wenlock with his foundation at Renfrew could have stemmed from a devotion to the cult of Wenlock's patron saint: St Milburga. <mask>'s priory at Paisley was dedicated in part to St James the Greater. This, coupled with the fact that <mask> did not witness any of David's acts during a span of time in 1143×1145, could be evidence that <mask> undertook a pilgrimage to the shrine of St James the Greater at Santiago de Compostela.In the spring of 1147, Scots joined an Anglo-Flemish fleet in Dartmouth, and set off to join the Second Crusade. The presence of Scots in this multi-ethnic fighting force is specifically attested by the twelfth-century texts De expugnatione Lyxbonensi and Gesta Friderici imperatoris. In June, this fleet of Englishmen, Flemings, Normans, Rhinelanders and Scots arrived at Lisbon, and joined the King of Portugal's months-long siege of the city. Some of the adventurers who participated in the expedition—a fifty-ship detachment of Rhinelanders—clearly visited Santiago de Compostela. It is possible that <mask> was one of the Scots who took part in the Lisbon expedition. Renfrew may well have served as the caput of the Strathgryfe group of holdings held by <mask>, and could have been the main caput of all his holdings. The fact that he chose Paisley to serve as a priory does not necessarily mean that Renfrew was his principal caput.In fact, there is reason to suspect that North Kyle served as <mask>'s power centre. For example, <mask> granted this religious house a tithe from all his lands excepting North Kyle. The fact that he granted away only one piece of land in North Kyle—as opposed to his extensive donations elsewhere—suggests that North Kyle was his largest block of his own demesne. As such, the archaeological evidence of a twelfth-century motte at Dundonald could indicate that <mask> constructed Dundonald Castle, an earth and timber fortress, as his principal caput. The uneven distribution of <mask>'s grants to Paisley Priory seems to have been a result of the fact that he had subinfeudated most of Strathgryfe by the time of its establishment. <mask>'s extensive territories consisted of regions inhabited by native speakers of English, Cumbric and Gaelic. From the years spanning 1160–1241, there are roughly one hundred vassals, tenants and dependants of <mask> and his succeeding son and grandson.A considerable number of these dependants were evidently drawn from the vicinity of the Fitz Alan lands in Shropshire. The latter region was largely Welsh-speaking at the time, and it is possible that this languages was then mutually intelligible with Breton, Cumbric. If so, it could indicate that <mask> and his dependants were purposely settled in the west to take advantage of this linguistic affiliation. As such, it may have been hoped that such incoming settlers would possess a degree of legitimacy from the natives as fellow Britons. Eschina de Londres

<mask> was married to Eschina de Londres (fl. 1177×1198). It is likely that the king—either David or Malcolm—arranged the union.Eschina is variously accorded locative names such as de Londres and de Molle. The former name appears to indicate that her father was a member of the Londres (or London)

 family. One possibility is that this man was Richard de London. The various forms of Eschina's locative surname de Molle could indicate that she was a maternal granddaughter and heir of a previous Lord of Mow: a certain Uhtred, son of Liulf. Uhtred is known to have granted the church of Mow to Kelso Abbey during David's reign. If Eschina indeed possessed an inherited claim to Mow, it is possible that <mask>'s grant of this territory was given from the king in the context of <mask>'s marriage to her. The fact that Uhtred seems to have had a son and a brother could be evidence that the king had overridden the inheritance rights of Uhtred's male heirs.On the other hand, an alternate possibility is that Eschina only possessed rights to Mow as a result of her marriage to <mask>. <mask> was Eschina's first husband. She survived <mask>, and her second husband was probably Henry de Cormunnock, by whom she had two daughters: Cecilia and Maud. Eschina's grant to Paisley Priory records that her daughter, Margaret, was buried there. A daughter of <mask> may have been Christina, a widow of William de Brus, Lord of Annandale, and second wife of Patrick I, Earl of Dunbar. Christina's kinship with <mask>'s family could account for the Dunbars' later possession of Birkenside. Galloway

<mask> witnessed an act by Malcolm at Les Andelys in Normandy.This charter appears to reveal that <mask> was one of the Scottish barons who accompanied the king upon the English campaign against the French at Toulouse in 1159. This record is the only known act of the king on the Continent. Malcolm returned to Scotland in 1160, having spent months campaigning in the service of the English. Upon his return, the king was forced to confront an attempted coup at Perth. Having successfully dealt with this considerable number of disaffected magnates, the twelfth- to thirteenth-century Chronicle of Holyrood and Chronicle of Melrose reveal that Malcolm launched three military expeditions into Galloway. Although the names of the king's accomplices are unrecorded, it is probable that <mask> was amongst them. The circumstances surrounding these invasions is unclear; what is clear, however, is that Fergus, Lord of Galloway submitted to the Scots before the end of the year.Specifically, according to the thirteenth-century Gesta Annalia I, once the Scots subdued the Gallovidians, the conquerors forced Fergus to retire to Holyrood Abbey, and hand over his son, Uhtred, as a royal hostage. On one hand, it is possible that Fergus himself had precipitated Malcolm's Gallovian campaign, by raiding into the territory between the rivers Urr and Nith. The fact that the Chronicle of Holyrood describes Malcolm's Gallovidian opponents as "federate enemies", and makes no mention of his sons, suggests that Fergus was supported by other accomplices. In fact, it is possible that Malcolm had encountered an alliance between Fergus and Somairle mac Gilla Brigte, King of the Isles. The Isles

In 1164, Somairle launched an invasion of Scotland. This seaborne campaign is attested by sources such as: the fourteenth-century Annals of Tigernach, the fifteenth- to sixteenth-century Annals of Ulster, the twelfth-century Carmen de Morte Sumerledi, the thirteenth-century Chronica of Roger de Hoveden, the Chronicle of Holyrood, the thirteenth- to fourteenth-century Chronicle of Mann, the Chronicle of Melrose, Gesta Annalia I, the fifteenth-century Mac Carthaigh's Book, and the fifteenth-century Scotichronicon. The various depictions of Somairle's forces—stated to have been drawn from Argyll, Dublin and the Isles—appear to reflect the remarkable reach of power that this man possessed at his peak.According to the Chronicle of Melrose, Somairle landed at Renfrew, and was defeated and slain by the people of the district. This stated location of Renfrew could be evidence that the target of Somairle's strike was <mask>. Nevertheless, the leadership of the Scottish forces is uncertain. It is conceivable that the commander was one of the three principal men of the region: Herbert, Bishop of Glasgow, Baldwin, Sheriff of Lanark/Clydesdale, and <mask> himself. Whilst there is reason to suspect that Somairle focused his offensive upon <mask>'s lordship at Renfrew, it is also possible that Hebert, as Malcolm's agent in the west, was the intended target. Certainly, Carmen de Morte Sumerledi associates Herbert with the victory, and makes no mention of <mask> or any Scottish royal forces. On the other hand, Baldwin's nearby lands of Inverkip and Houston were passed by Somairle's naval forces, suggesting that it was either Baldwin or his followers who engaged and overcame the invaders.Exactly why Somairle struck out at the Scots is unknown. This man's rise to power appears to coincide with an apparent weakening of Scottish royal authority in Argyll. Although David may well have regarded Argyll as a Scottish tributary, Somairle's ensuing career clearly reveals that the latter regarded himself a fully independent ruler. Somairle's first attestation by a contemporary source occurs in 1153, when the Chronicle of Holyrood reports that he backed the cause of his , the Meic Máel Coluim, in an unsuccessful coup after David's death. These —possibly nephews or grandsons of Somairle—were the sons of Máel Coluim mac Alasdair, a claimant to the Scottish throne, descended from an elder brother of David, Alexander I, King of Scotland. Four years later Somairle launched his final invasion of Scotland, and it is possible that it was conducted in the context of another attempt to support Máel Coluim's claim to the Scottish throne. Another possibility is that Somairle was attempting to secure a swathe of territory that had only recently been secured by the Scottish Crown.Although there is no record of Somairle before 1153, his family was evidently involved in an earlier insurrection by Máel Coluim against David that ended with Máel Coluim's capture and imprisonment in 1134. An aftereffect of this failed insurgency may be perceptible in a Scottish royal charter issued at Cadzow in about 1136. This source records the Scottish Crown's claim to cáin in Carrick, Kyle, Cunningham and Strathgryfe. Historically, this region appears to have once formed part of the territory dominated by the Gall Gaidheil, a people of mixed Scandinavian and Gaelic ethnicity. One possibly is that these lands had formerly comprised part of a Gall Gaidheil realm before the Scottish Crown overcame Máel Coluim and his supporters. The Cadzow charter is one of several that mark the earliest record of Fergus. This man's attestation could indicate that, whilst Somairle's family may have suffered marginalisation as a result of Máel Coluim's defeat and David's consolidation of the region, Fergus and his family could have conversely profited at this time as supporters of David's cause.The record of Fergus amongst the Scottish elite at Cadzow is certainly evidence of the increasing reach of David's royal authority in the 1130s. Another figure first attested by these charters is <mask>, who may have been granted the lands of Strathgryfe, Renfrew, Mearns and North Kyle on the occasion of David's grant of cáin. One explanation for Somairle's invasion is that he may have been compelled to counter a threat that <mask>—and other recently-enfeoffed Scottish magnates—posed to his authority. A catalyst of this collision of competing spheres of influence may have been the vacuum left by the assassination of Somairle's father-in-law, Óláfr Guðrøðarson, King of the Isles, in 1153. Although the political uncertainty following Óláfr's elimination would have certainly posed a threat to the Scots, the concurrent build-up of Scottish power along the western seaboard—particularly exemplified by <mask>'s expansive territorial grants in the region—meant that the Scots were also positioned to capitalise upon the situation. In fact, there is reason to suspect that, during Malcolm's reign—and perhaps with Malcolm's consent—<mask> began to extend his own authority into the Firth of Clyde, the islands of the Clyde, the southern shores of Cowal and the fringes of Argyll. The allotment of Scottish fiefs along the western seaboard suggests that these lands were settled in the context of defending the Scottish realm from external threats located in Galloway and the Isles.It was probably in this context that substantial western lordships were granted to Hugh de Morville, Robert de Brus and <mask>. As such, the mid-part of the twelfth century saw a steady consolidation of Scottish power along the western seaboard by some of the realm's greatest magnates—men who could well have encroached into Somairle's sphere of influence. The remarkably poor health of Malcolm—a man who went on to die before reaching the age of twenty-five—combined with the rising power of Somairle along Scotland's western seaboard, could account for Malcolm's confirmation <mask>'s stewardship and lands in 1161×1162. As such, <mask> may have sought written confirmation of his rights in light of the external threats that faced the Scottish Crown. In fact, one possibility is that the king's serious illness was a specific impetus for Somairle's campaign. Somairle may have intended to seize upon Malcolm's poor health to strike out at the Scots and limit the western spread of their influence. Death and successors

<mask> served as steward until his death in 1177.Before his demise, <mask> retired to Melrose Abbey, and died there a lay member of the monastery. He was thereafter buried at Paisley. <mask>'s son and successor, <mask>, does not appear to have equalled <mask>'s consistent attendance of the royal court. It was during the tenure of <mask>'s great-grandson, Alexander Stewart, Steward of Scotland, that the title of dapifer regis Scotie ("steward of the king of Scotland") came to be replaced by the style senescallus Scotie ("steward of Scotland"). It was also during this generation that forms of the surname Stewart began to be borne by <mask>'s descendants. Specifically, his like-named great-grandson, <mask>, Earl of Menteith, is the first such descendant known to have adopted senescallus as a surname without having possessed the office of steward. <mask> was the founder of the Stewart family, from which descended the royal Stewart dynasty.Notes

Background
<mask> is a notable grandson of Nigeria's former president <mask> who is involved in Youth Activism. He announced his grandfather's death on 28 December 2018. His father is the president's eldest son, <mask> of Shagari, Sokoto State. He had his early education in Sokoto and later had his SSCE in Police Secondary School Minna, Niger State. In secondary school, he served as the Cadet Commander of his Schools Cadet Club.He is a graduate of Business Information Systems & Information Technology from Middlesex University London. Shortly after his graduation in 2012, he voluntary taught briefly as a teacher in a Primary and Secondary Schools at his hometown Shagari. He holds the chieftaincy title of the Yarima of Shagari. Career

<mask> Shagari founded Barcode Multimedia in 2012. He has produced documentaries and contents on politics, history and advocacy. One of such documentaries "One Nation, One Destiny" project which began in 2013, a documentary of the history of Nigeria focusing on President Shehu <mask>'s long experiences since pre-independence to his eventual emergence as Nigeria's first executive president in 1979. Accordingly, in the course of research and interviews, <mask> has come across a number of prominent politicians, diplomats, historians and many leaders.Some of his encounters include the past and present Nigeria Heads of State such as Yakubu Gowon, Olusegun Obasanjo, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, Abdulsalami Abubakar and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. He also interviewed high profile personalities such as Prof. Jean Herskovits, historian of the State University of New York, U.S ambassador and diplomat Thomas Pickering, and Clifford May, a former New York Times reporter and president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, among others. As a youth activist, Bello was appointed as the chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria Sokoto State Chapter in 2017 after protesting and replacing a 52 year old man who had been the chairman. His activism became stronger and he ran for the presidency of the National Youth Council of Nigeria in the 2018 Unity Congress held in Gombe which he won in a keenly contested election which has brought him to National prominence in 2018. As the Chairman of NYCN Sokoto State Chapter, he partnered with other Government and Non Governmental Organisations to initiate a program known as RRTE in Sokoto State to curb unemployment, drug abuse and community violence. NYCN presidency
<mask> was elected president of the National Youth Council of Nigeria at the Unity Congress in Gombe State on 25 July 2018. <mask> polled 249 votes as against 234 polled by his opponent, AlMustapha Asuku Abdullahi.As a result he emerged as the president. Prior to his emergence as the President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, <mask> was the Chairman of The NYCN Sokoto State Chapter. At the 3rd General Afro-Arab Youth Conference held in Khartoum, Sudan, <mask> emerged as the Coordinator of west Africa, of the Afro-Arab Youth Council. Shortly after becoming the president of NYCN, <mask> secured 3,700 empowerment opportunities for the Nigerian youth. NYCN under <mask> became well known because of the publicity he created for the organization through mass media and social media. He became very vocal on issues concerning youth inclusion especially during the 2019 General Elections where his critics accused him of working for the opposition as he refuses to publicly endorse the ruling party. But afterwards, he succeeded in a lobby which led to the creation of the Ministry For Youth & Sports Development in Kano and the appointment of the State Chairman the Commissioner by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.He saw the organization's return to participation in international activities especially across Africa. However, many of his programs at home failed as a result of the crises rocking NYCN during his time. He is counted among the most influential youth in Nigeria barely six months in office and has been inducted into the community of Crans Montana New Leaders of Tomorrow in 2019. Resignation
Crises have been rocking the National Youth Council since 2014, after a controversial election was held which led to the removal of the Minister for Youth & Sports Development at the time. However, reconciliation efforts ushered in newly elected executives led by Shagari in Gombe as supervised by the Federal Ministry for Youth and Sport. Soon after the election, opposition began resurfacing among the members of the board of trustees of the NYCN. Another faction was to emerge three months later in Port Harcourt.That coupled with opposition from some government elements lashed together to frustrate the Shagari led NYCN which became increasingly unpopular with some stakeholders. However, all efforts to remove Shagari from office failed including an attempt to pass a vote of no confidence against him. Later, a vote of confidence was successfully passed on him by his executives. As the crises brought the council activities to a halt by producing 3 other factions, <mask> resigned voluntarily on 9 March 2020 as a gesture of peace. <mask> is the first NYCN President to voluntarily resign. He was widely celebrated for his actions. Awards

title: David Wagner (soccer)

texts:
<mask> (born 19 October 1971) is a professional football manager and former player. He is the manager of Swiss Super League club Young Boys. <mask> grew up in West Germany and made his professional debut with Eintracht Frankfurt in 1990 and played as a striker for several clubs in the first and second divisions of German football. The son of an American stepfather and German mother, <mask> played for the United States national team, earning eight caps between 1996 and 1998. From 2011 to 2015, he managed Borussia Dortmund II. <mask> left in November 2015 to take the job at Huddersfield Town, which he led to the Premier League via the 2017 EFL Championship play-off Final. He left Huddersfield in January 2019, soon afterwards taking the manager position at Bundesliga club Schalke 04 in July 2019.Early life and club career
<mask> was born in Frankfurt, West Germany. His biological father is from Thailand, his mother is German. Before his birth, <mask>'s mother married an American. <mask> was a journeyman striker for his playing career, playing primarily for Mainz 05, Darmstadt 98, FC Gütersloh, and Schalke 04. He also had short at Waldhof Mannheim, Eintracht Frankfurt and TSG Weinheim and Germania Pfungstadt. He enjoyed his best spell at Mainz scoring 19 times in his four years at the club. Former teammate and lifelong friend Jurgen Klopp recalled that "He wasn't very consistent, even if he does not want to hear it [...] He was a big talent, but not every day.He was very a young player when he came from Eintracht Frankfurt to Mainz, a very skilled boy, very quick, a good striker." He was part of the Schalke squad that won the 1997 UEFA Cup. International career
In 1996, <mask> was recruited along with fellow Bundesliga player Michael Mason by manager Steve Sampson for the United States national team. Sampson had never seen either of them play but had been recommended <mask> and Mason by U.S. player Thomas Dooley. Dooley, like Mason and <mask> had American citizenship but had been raised in Germany. <mask> had played for Germany's U18 and U21 teams earlier in his career. While this gave him additional credibility with Sampson, his earlier international career risked making him ineligible to play for the United States.<mask> made his debut in a friendly 3–1 win over El Salvador in Los Angeles on 30 August 1996, in which he was substituted at half-time for Brian McBride. He made five appearances the following year and two more in 1998, all but one as a starter. In April 1997, after Canada lost to the United States in a World Cup qualifying match in which <mask> played, the Canadian Soccer Association complained to FIFA that <mask> should be ineligible to play for the United States based on his appearances for Germany's youth teams. On 2 May 1997, FIFA announced that <mask> was eligible to play for the United States because his games with the German teams were exhibitions, not official matches. However, <mask> was rarely called into the U.S. team afterward and he was not named to the squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Managerial career

Borussia Dortmund II
Following his playing career, <mask> became a manager, working mostly with his former 1. Mainz 05 teammate Jürgen Klopp.<mask> was appointed as Borussia Dortmund II manager with effect from 1 July 2011. He left the role on 31 October 2015, amidst rumours that he was going to join Klopp's backroom staff at Liverpool. Huddersfield Town

On 5 November 2015, <mask> was appointed manager of English club Huddersfield Town following the departure of Chris Powell. He brought Christoph Bühler, who had left Borussia Dortmund on 1 November 2015, with him as his assistant. In the summer of 2016, <mask> brought in 13 players from across the continent, including Danny Ward, Chris Löwe, and Aaron Mooy. He took his players on a bonding tour of Sweden, where they had to survive with only basic equipment for a few days. The team's success in the early 2016–17 season was largely accredited to the squad's tight bond, something that <mask> claimed was a direct result of this Sweden trip.A few weeks later, they visited Austria and kept two clean sheets in matches against Bundesliga teams Werder Bremen and Ingolstadt 04. After an unbeaten start to the 2016–17 season, Huddersfield were top of the table at the start of September, including a win at St James' Park against Newcastle United. On 29 May 2017, Huddersfield secured promotion to the Premier League for the 2017–18 season, following a victory on penalties in the play-off final against Reading. On 30 June 2017, <mask> signed an improved two-year contract. He was praised for his achievements in keeping Huddersfield in the Premier League at the end of the 2017–18 season, a feat regarded by bookmakers as improbable and described by The Guardian as "the Premier League's greatest survival story", with <mask> in particular noted as "a leader of rare charisma and intelligence." On 14 January 2019, <mask> and Huddersfield Town agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent, with the team in last place and eight points from safety. Schalke 04
On 9 May 2019, <mask> was appointed as manager of Bundesliga club Schalke 04 on a three-year contract until 30 June 2022.In the second half of the 2019–20 season, Schalke set a new club record of 16 league games without a win between 25 January and 27 June 2020. The winless streak continued with an 0–8 defeat against Bayern Munich in the first match of the 2020–21 season. After a 1–3 defeat against Werder Bremen, the 18th winless league match in a row, <mask> was sacked on 27 September 2020. Young Boys
In the summer of 2021, <mask> was heavily linked with the vacant manager's position at recently relegated Championship club West Bromwich Albion, however talks broke down. On 10 June 2021, <mask> was appointed manager of Swiss Super League reigning champions Young Boys. <mask> is married and has two daughters, Lynn and Lea. His daughter Lea works as a sports presenter for the public regional broadcasting company SWR.She is also part of the team of reporters for Sportschau on ARD. Career statistics
