In almost half a century of making films mainly for television – on subjects including cinema, literature, art, jazz, sport and popular culture – "he has defined and re-defined not only the televisual art documentary genre but has been able to make moving image pieces as a form of self portraiture". <mask> has made many acclaimed films, including on Federico García Lorca, C. L. R. James, Astor Piazzolla, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Barbara Thompson and other notable subjects. In the words of Sukhdev Sandhu in The Guardian: "In a career spanning almost five decades, it's possible <mask> has shaped more ideas and offered more ways of seeing than any other TV documentarian of his generation." <mask> is the father of film director <mask>.

In 1972 he produced a four-part series of 30-minute films called Ways of Seeing, now regarded not only as "a landmark work of British arts broadcasting, but as a key moment in the democratisation of art education". Scripted by writer John Berger, Ways of Seeing won a BAFTA Award for Best Specialised Series, and was the basis of a bestselling book designed by Richard Hollis, jointly published by the BBC and Penguin Books in 1972. In 1976 <mask> made a film based on Beyond a Boundary, the classic book by C. L. R.

He joined Third Eye Productions, a company formed by several other ex-members of the BBC Music and Arts department, including Barrie Gavin, Peter West and Geoff Haydon. After 1986 <mask> began to make many of his films through his own company, Dibb Directions Ltd (DD).The many notable documentaries he has made include The Spirit of Lorca, about poet Federico García Lorca (in collaboration with Lorca's biographer Ian Gibson, 1986; Gold Award NY Festival of Film and TV), and What’s Cuba Playing At? (on the Afro-Spanish roots of Cuban music; BBC Arena, 1985), Tango Maestro – The life and music of Astor Piazzolla (2005, BBC), and Keith Jarrett – The Art of Improvisation (2005, Channel 4).

The film was first transmitted on BBC Four on 19 February 2012.His first book, Spellwell (2010, Muswell Press), written in rhyming couplets and illustrated by Roddy Maude-Roxby, was a playful guide to the idiosyncrasies of English-language spelling.

He is a fighter pilot with more than 3,000 flight hours in fighters and trainers, most in the F-15 Eagle.

As a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the general and other service chiefs function as military advisers to the Secretary of Defense, National Security Council, and the President. <mask> resigned from the Air Force at the request of U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in June 2008 in the wake of a number of Air Force scandals, including a 2007 scandal related to the Air Force's handling of the security of nuclear weapons at Minot Air Force Base, despite having directed over 120 actions to focus directly on the service's adherence to policy guidance and operational processes relative to nuclear assurance. At the time there were multiple media reports suggesting the rationale for the forced retirements of both the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff was actually disagreements between the Air Force and the Secretary of Defense on the path of Air Force budgets, modernization and recapitalization. Specifically, that General <mask> continued to aggressively support the full procurement of the F-22, larger numbers of the F-35, Next-Generation Bomber, enhanced unmanned aerial vehicles, a new tanker aircraft, a new combat search and rescue helicopter, an upgrade of Department of Defense space systems, an operational focus on cyberwarfare capability and the beginning of nuclear systems modernization.On 11 July 2008, a formal retirement ceremony was held for <mask>; he officially retired from the Air Force on 11 August 2008 after 37+ years of uniformed service.

The film was released in over 50 British cinemas shortly before Blair stepped down in 2007.The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw gave the film 4 stars, saying "there's something exhilarating about this thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile docu-blast against Tony Blair's insidious diminution of native British liberties."

Starsuckers
In 2009, <mask> directed his second feature documentary, Starsuckers, which heavily criticised the media for the negative effects of celebrity culture. The film gained wide notoriety for selling fake celebrity stories to several British tabloid newspapers, and for secretly filming journalists from Sunday tabloids, who were attempting to buy celebrity medical records. The Guardian newspaper published two front page stories about Starsuckers in October 2009, and the News Of The World quickly contacted the filmmakers to assert that they had never threatened libel actions against another publication. <mask> also secretly filmed the celebrity publicist Max Clifford boasting about how he kept embarrassing stories about his clients out of the media. Clifford also tried to legally block the film's release.The film criticised Bob Geldof over the negative consequences of both Live Aid and Live 8 charity concerts, leading Geldof to write <mask> a 6,000 word letter, attacking the film days before it was screened on Channel 4 in 2010.

The film was broadcast on 16 February 2015 and caused considerable controversy, leading to over 6000 complaints to the broadcasting regulator Ofcom.

In 2012 he spent a year undercover investigating the illegal trade in confidential data, in which <mask> bought private information on volunteers from unwitting private detectives to illustrate the ease with which data is bought and sold on the black market.

In 2013, he produced and directed the Panorama episode "All in a Good Cause", which looked into unethical investments made by charities such as Comic Relief, the aftermath of which resulted in <mask> claiming he had, "turned into the comedy establishment's most hated man".

TWINS NATALIA is an electro-pop ensemble comprising creative minds from various artistic fields working together to create some beautiful, catchy yet melancholic and substantial electro-pop combining an early 80s musical approach (analogue drum machine sounds, way of sequencing, etc.) with the latest recording technology.TWINS NATALIA is one of the many brainchildren of Steve Lippert, Anna Logue Records' permanent and wonderful graphic designer. The basic musical ideas are composed by Marc Schaffer on original analogue equipment (Boss DR-55, Crumar Performer, Korg MS-20/Poly-61, Roland TR-606/TR-808/CSQ-100/SH-2, etc.) supplying the basic rhythmic and melodic structure.

Articles reviews
Twins Natalia are back after their split 7-inch with Marsheaux with a new split. This time we have a two tracks 12-inch with Twins Natalia, with "I Avoid Strangers" and Poeme Electronique, with "I Wouldn't Change Me For Anyone". Always formed by Steve Lippert, Marc Schaffer (Anna Logue Records' boss) plus Sharon Abbott, Julie Ruler and <mask> of Poeme Electronique, Twins Natalia are presenting a nine minutes 'special extended night version' of the track which is coming from their forthcoming debut album "The Destiny Room"."I Avoid Strangers" is a powerful retro electro pop upbeat dance floor killer based on bouncing bass lines, catchy lead solos and rich synth arpeggios. <mask>'s vocals recall a bit Human League and in the middle of the track you can find an intermezzo which could fit an 80s ebm tune. This song is a hit, no doubt about that! On the AA side, Poeme Electronique present their first track after 25 years. "I Wouldn't Change Me For Anyone" is a really good song about empty glamour lives and behind its upbeat rhythms it has a certain dose of darkness and mystery. Girls' voice are passionate and good as in the past and the track sound just like one of their classic hits. The release is presented in a deluxe package with posters and postcards ( Poeme Electronique's artwork is based on original paintings by German artist Peter K. Endres) and it's also available on digital download.Techno Twins
<mask> was a key contributor to the musical output of the Techno Twins in the 1980s, writing and creating most of their material for several albums. He performed on many of their other recordings and was integral in the creation of the only hit they had "Falling in Love Again" He invented their unique sound concept, and arrangements, all created in his four track studio in south London.

In November 1960, SAFA president Soh Ghee Soon confirmed that <mask> "requested" his withdrawal from the Singapore team that would tour Hong Kong and Saigon as he could not train with the team due to his hockey commitments. <mask> quit the Malaya Cup team after he alleged he was unfairly dropped by Soh. He resolved his differences with the SAFA and rejoined the team in late December.<mask> missed the following season after he left for a four-month training at the Detectives' Training School in Calcutta under a Colombo Plan scholarship in March 1961. Singapore won the FAM Cup in 1963 but <mask> did not play in the final. He featured in both finals as Singapore won the Malaya Cup in 1964 and 1965. Following the 1965 Cup win, he announced his intention to step down from the state team but retracted his decision and was included in the 1966 squad. He played in the earlier rounds of the 1967 FAM Cup, which Singapore won, but missed the final due to a neck injury sustained during the Asian Cup qualifiers in March. The FAM Cup was <mask>'s last involvement with the state team as he was dropped from the 1967 Malaysia Cup (the renamed Malaya Cup) squad with the form of replacement Ahmad Wartam, and the Football Association of Singapore withdrew the team from Malaysia competitions in 1968 and 1969.

In September, national coach Choo Seng Quee's request to recall <mask> for the up-coming Southeast Asian Peninsular Games was rejected by the Football Association of Singapore and he was not included in the shortlist of players. The FAS decision eventually proved irrelevant as the football team dropped from the Games contingent by the National Sports Council Board in November. <mask> is widely considered as one of the best goalkeepers to play for Singapore.

For his work in wildlife conservation, he received the Padma Shri award in 2018. Work in India

<mask> was the founding director of the Snake Park in Chennai. The park was conceived to rehabilitate the Irula tribe, who are known for their expertise in catching snakes.The tribals were left jobless after the ban of snake trading. Whitaker helped the Irula tribe to get involved in extracting snake venom used for the production of antivenom drugs. Rom is the founder-director of the Madras Crocodile Bank Trust Centre for Herpetology, actively involved in crocodile breeding and conservation programs. Whitaker is currently coordinating an effort to save the gharial, a critically endangered species of Crocodilia on the brink of extinction, with less than 250 individuals left in Indian waters. On 27 December 2010, the Minister for Environment and Forests, Jairam Ramesh, during a visit with Rom at the Madras Crocodile Bank, announced the formation of a National Tri-State Chambal Sanctuary Management and Coordination Committee for gharial conservation on 1,600 km2 of the National Chambal Sanctuary for gharials along the Chambal River in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. The committee will comprise representatives of the states' water resources ministries, state departments of irrigation and power, Wildlife Institute of India, Madras Crocodile Bank Trust, the Gharial Conservation Alliance, Development Alternatives, Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment, Worldwide Fund for Nature, and the divisional forest officers of the three states. The committee will plan strategies for protection of gharials and their habitat.This will involve further research on the species and its ecology and socioeconomic evaluation of dependent riparian communities.

title: David Marquand

texts:
<mask>  (born 20 September 1934) is a British academic and former Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP). Background and political career

Marquand was born in Cardiff; his father was Hilary Marquand, also an academic and former Labour MP. His younger brother was the film maker Richard Marquand, and James Marquand is his nephew. Marquand was educated at Emanuel School in Battersea, London, Magdalen College, Oxford, St Antony's College, Oxford, and at the University of California, Berkeley. Marquand first stood for Parliament at the Welsh seat of Barry in 1964, but was defeated by the Conservative incumbent Raymond Gower. He was elected the MP for Ashfield from 1966 to 1977, when he resigned his seat to work as Chief Advisor (from 1977 to 1978) to his mentor Roy Jenkins who had been appointed President of the European Commission. During the 1970s split between 'Croslandite' and 'Jenkinsite' social democrats within the Labour Party, Marquand was part of the Jenkins group and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP) when it was founded.Marquand sat on the party's national committee from 1981 to 1988 and was an unsuccessful candidate for the party in the High Peak constituency in the 1983 General Election. When the SDP merged with the Liberal Party to form the Liberal Democrats, Marquand remained with the successor party until rejoining the Labour Party in 1995, following the election of Tony Blair as Labour leader. In October 2016, it was reported that Marquand had left Labour once more, and had joined Plaid Cymru. Academic career and writings
Marquand's academic career began as lecturer in Politics at the University of Sussex and included the occupancy of two chairs in Politics, first at Salford and then at Sheffield and finally as Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford. Marquand is currently a Visiting Fellow, Department of Politics, University of Oxford and Honorary Professor of Politics, University of Sheffield. Marquand's writings are broadly based upon issues surrounding British politics and social democracy. He is widely linked to the term "progressive politics" and the concept of a "progressive dilemma" in British politics, although he has since distanced himself from the term (if not the ideas it represents).Marquand has written extensively on the future of the European Union and the need for constitutional reform in the United Kingdom. In the aftermath of Labour's defeat in the 1979 election, Marquand wrote "Inquest on a Movement: Labour's Defeat and Its Consequences" for the July 1979 issue of Encounter. He argued that it was the influx of middle-class radicals into the Labour Party during the interwar years that had transformed Labour from a trade union pressure group into the main progressive party. All of its leaders since 1935 and many of its most prominent members had come from this class, crucially shaping the party's ethos. However, with Labour moving to the left in the 1970s, Marquand believed that the party was becoming intolerantly proletarian and attached to an old-fashioned socialism. This change in the party was symbolised by the election of James Callaghan as party leader in 1976, the least intellectual of the candidates. Marquand wrote that Labour had "outlived its usefulness" as a means to progressive social change and that middle-class radicals needed a new platform for their ideas.For this article Marquand was awarded (jointly with E. P. Thompson) the George Orwell Memorial Prize for 1980. Marquand addressed Britain's relative economic decline in The Unprincipled Society (1988) and The New Reckoning (1997). He argued that this decline was caused by Britain's failure to become a developmental state like France, Germany and Japan. In those countries state intervention had encouraged industrial development and had facilitated the necessary adjustments to competition. Britain, however, was wedded to an economic liberalism which prevented the state from undertaking the necessary measures to meet the country's developmental needs. In The New Reckoning Marquand claimed: "The economies that have succeeded more spectacularly have been those fostered by developmental states, where public power, acting in concert with private interest, has induced market forces to flow in the desired direction". Originally a tentative supporter of Blair's New Labour, he has since become a trenchant critic, arguing that "New Labour has 'modernised' the social-democratic tradition out of all recognition", even while retaining the over-centralisation and disdain for the radical intelligentsia of the old "Labourite" tradition.He is one of 20 signatories to the founding statement of the democratic left-wing group Compass. In August 2008, Marquand published an article in The Guardian newspaper which was seen by some as being complimentary about Conservative Party leader <mask>. Marquand called Cameron not a crypto-Thatcherite but a Whig and argued that Cameron "offers inclusion, social harmony and evolutionary adaptation to the cultural and socio-economic changes of his age." Marquand was among 30 people to put his name to a letter to The Guardian – "Lib Dems Are The Party of Progress" – in support of the Liberal Democrats at 2010 general election but withdrew this support less than a month after the election. Marquand rejoined the Labour Party and came out in full support of the-then leader Ed Miliband. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1998. He is recognised by the newly opened Marquand Reading Room at his old school, Emanuel School in London.References

texts:
<mask> (born <mask> in 1939 in Seattle) is an American artist and a retired professor at the University of Kansas, having taught there from 1969 to 2004. His art, showcased across the United States, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and Israel, often combines American popular culture, traditional Asian tropes, and stereotypical racial imagery to provoke thought and debate on issues of identity and social perception. Early life
He was born on June 26, 1939, in the <mask> family home in the Central District of Seattle, Washington. He was delivered by his grandmother, Toku, a professional midwife who would become an important figure in his life and art. His father, <mask>, was a pharmacist, and his mother, Aya, was a homemaker. Both parents were U.S.-born nisei whose parents had emigrated from Japan in the early 1900s. After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the beginning of Japanese incarceration, his family was forcibly relocated on short notice and incarcerated at Camp Harmony in Puyallup, Washington.They were transported from there to the more permanent Minidoka camp in Idaho. After about two years at Minidoka, the family moved to Chicago (outside the West Coast Japanese exclusion zone), where <mask>'s father had secured a job in a pharmacy. The family lived there for a few months before returning to Seattle at war's end in 1945. <mask>'s younger sister Carolyn had died of meningitis during their stay in Chicago. The family returned to their home in the Central District, and his father resumed his pharmacy work. <mask> was not yet fully aware of the implications of the racial hierarchies. As a child in the postwar years, he played a game called "Kill the Jap" with the sons of artist Paul Horiuchi, who lived across the street.As he grew up, he felt increasing anguish over the conflict between his father's wish that he become a doctor, and his own desire to follow in the footsteps of his three uncles, who were all commercial artists. Education
After graduating from Garfield High School, <mask> began studying graphic design at the University of Washington, earning his BA in 1961. He was required to join the  ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) program. Despite his severe distaste for the program, he did very well in his military studies. From 1962 to '64 he served as an artillery officer in the U.S. Army's elite 1st Cavalry Division, stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, and in Korea. After leaving the Army, <mask> began working as a commercial artist and designer, including work on the Polynesian Pavilion at the New York World's Fair in 1964. He became frustrated with the limitations of the field.He began taking painting classes at the University of Washington, where, under the influence of the emerging Pop Art movement, he discovered the possibilities in combining fine art with his lifelong interest in pop culture. Transferring to Syracuse University in New York, where he experimented with filmmaking and performance art, he received his MFA in 1969. That same year he took a job teaching art at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. He taught there for the next 35 years, until his retirement in 2004. Career

In 2013, he told an interviewer,
"My biggest influences initially were the California Funk ceramics artists. Their irreverence helped me break out of my conservative Asian thinking mode. These clay artists said in their works that nothing was sacred, that we needed a fresh start and needed to examine everything.There was a sense that art could take a leadership role in this revolution." He has also expressed admiration for the Pop Art movement, citing Andy Warhol as "my biggest influence, visually, historically, and stylistically". <mask>'s paintings often take stereotypical American images of Asians: glowering, buck-toothed wartime "Japs", Fu Manchu, subservient geishas, martial artists, and skewer them through over-the-top exaggeration or juxtaposition with images of idealized American society. Pop culture icons such as Mickey Mouse, Coca-Cola, and Pikachu appear incongruously in bright, flat-perspective landscapes, sometimes with absurdly altered portraits of <mask> himself. His more subtle works often combine traditional Japanese woodblock printing with impressions of the incarceration camps, taken from both his own youthful memories and passages from the diary that his grandmother Toku kept for many years. While continuing to teach at the University of Kansas, <mask> gradually became one of the most recognized artists in the United States, amassing awards and exhibition in most of the country's major museums and arts institutions. Since his retirement from teaching in 2004, he has continued painting, giving lectures, and exhibiting.Collections
His works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, D.C.), the Denver Art Museum, the Japanese American National Museum (Los Angeles, CA), the Seattle Art Museum, the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the New York Public Library, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Asian American Arts Centre (New York), the Phoenix Art Museum, the Tacoma Art Museum, the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University, the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University, the Mulvane Art Museum at Washburn University and other museums and institutions. Exhibitions

title: Christopher Paul Hasson

texts:
<mask> (born ) is a former United States Coast Guard lieutenant and self-described white nationalist who pleaded guilty to federal gun and drug crimes in 2019, and the following year was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison. Although not charged with a terrorism offense, prosecutors called <mask> a "domestic terrorist" and accused him of plotting the targeted assassinations of high-profile American politicians, media figures, and others, as well as indiscriminate terror attacks against what Hasson called "leftists in general." <mask> was an F/A-18 aircraft mechanic in the Marine Corps from 1988 to 1993, achieving the rank of corporal. He was then on active duty with the Army National Guard for approximately two years. He served with the Virginia Army National Guard as an infantryman with Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 183rd Infantry Regiment. In September 1995, <mask> transferred to the Arizona Army National Guard and left in March 1996, exiting with the same rank as when he joined. He served in the Coast Guard for more than twenty years, initially as an Electronics Technician.At the time of his arrest, <mask> was an acquisitions officer for the Coast Guard's National Security Cutter program at Coast Guard Headquarters, having served in that post since June 2016. 2019 plot

Beliefs, ideology, and 2019 plot
<mask> identifies as a white nationalist. In court filings, prosecutors wrote that <mask> drew inspiration from Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and abortion clinic bomber Eric Robert Rudolph. Hasson had been amassing guns and ammunition since 2017. His goals included the assassination of high-profile Democratic and left-leaning politicians and media figures. Hasson attempted to discover where Democratic politicians and media figures lived and made Google searches such as "what if trump illegally impeached", "civil war if trump impeached", "best place in dc", "where in dc to congress live", "social democrats usa", "most liberal senators", "where do most senators live in dc", "where in dc to see congress people", "do senators have ss  protection", and "are supreme court justices protected". Hasson searched and found out the address of MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.<mask> had expressed belief in the white genocide conspiracy theory. <mask> created a "hit list" spreadsheet naming various journalists, Democratic politicians, and socialist figures and organizations and used computers at his workplace to study the manifestos of various mass shooters; prosecutors also alleged he used work computers to plan an attack. In addition to being a self-proclaimed white nationalist, <mask> is a neo-Nazi and he has been a white power skinhead for the last 30 years. He advocated turning the Pacific Northwest into an all-white homeland when he sent a letter to the American neo-Nazi and leader of the Northwest Front Harold Covington stating that he has been on his website briefly and read most of his books. <mask> expressed dissatisfaction with holding public rallies and gaining support from the public in a letter which he wrote several weeks after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia and preferred militant action, including actions targeting individual public figures who he believed were "Cultural Marxists". <mask> was planning to use biological weapons such as the Spanish flu, botulism, and anthrax to "kill almost every last person on the earth", followed by attacks on the food supply. He recommended building stockpiles in five locations, the contents of which were to be food, firearms, clothing/military gear, and extra mortar recoilless rifles.He recommended gaining combat/military experience and chemistry skills in addition to buying three homes and hideouts. <mask> wanted to use tactics from the Euromaidan protests and the Donbass conflict in Ukraine in order to raise tensions between the "govt/police" and "BLM protestors and other leftist crap". <mask> is an antisemite as expressed in the letter "I don't know if there truly is a 'Conspiracy' of (((People))) out to destroy me and mine, but there is an attack nonetheless". The same letter referred to "muslim scum". Hasson also made searches which included "white homeland", "when are whites going to wake up" and "please god let there be a race war" including the addresses of various Supreme Court justices and a gun to kill African-Americans. Investigation and arrest
<mask> was arrested on February 15, 2019, in the parking garage of the Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington. Federal investigators executed search warrants at <mask>'s apartment and office in Silver Spring, Maryland.<mask> "conducted online searches and made thousands of visits to websites that contain pro-Russian, neo-fascist, and neo-Nazi literature" between January 2017 and January 2019. Seven rifles, two shotguns, four pistols, two revolvers, and two silencers, along with magazines and ammunition and the opioid tramadol, were found in his home. Guilty plea and sentencing
Federal prosecutors wrote that Hasson intended "to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country" and described him as "a domestic terrorist, bent on committing acts dangerous to human life." On February 27, 2019, <mask> was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of unlawful possession of silencers; possession of firearms by a drug addict and unlawful use; and possession of a controlled substance (specifically, tramadol). U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles B. Day initially ordered <mask> to be granted pretrial release, on strict bail conditions, including home confinement at his wife's parents' home with GPS monitoring. However, prosecutors appealed this decision and it was immediately reversed by U.S. District Court Judge George J. Hazel, who ordered that <mask> continue to be detained pending trial, citing the potential dangers to the community.Hazel stated that the government's evidence showed that <mask> has specifically planned an attack based on the 2011 massacre in Norway perpetrated by Anders Behring Breivik, and had acquired weapons and ammunition with the purpose of furthering the planned attack. <mask> initially pleaded not guilty, but in October 2019 entered a guilty plea to three charges: possession of tramadol without a prescription and illegal possession of firearms and the firearm silencers. (Under U.S. federal law, a person who is a "unlawful user and addict of a controlled substance" is prohibited from owning firearms). <mask> admitted that, from 2016 to 2019, he ordered at least 4,650 tramadol pills over the Internet, and admitted that he knowingly possessed firearm silencers that "were not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and that they did not have serial numbers, as required by law." In court filings in sentencing, prosecutors wrote that "If not for the diligent efforts of multiple federal law enforcement agencies, we now would be counting the bodies of the defendant's victims instead of years of the defendant's prison time." In contrast, <mask>'s defense attorneys argued that Hasson was not a danger to society, and his crimes and fixation "on the notion of ethnic cleansing in the United States and that the country should be turned into a white homeland" arose from his longstanding opioid use disorder, which <mask> developed after becoming addicted to painkillers in the 2010s. On January 31, 2020, Judge Hazel sentenced <mask> to 160 months (a little over 13 years) in prison, followed by four years' supervised release.<mask>'s defense attorneys filed a notice of appeal on February 11, 2020, asking the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to review his case. In February 2022, a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected <mask>'s appeal. He is serving his sentence at the FCI Butner Medium with BOP# 64544-037. Reactions
President Donald Trump reacted to the attempted attack by <mask> stating "I think it's a shame" and that it was "a very sad thing". Joe Scarborough, one of the people targeted in <mask>'s list, accused Trump of inspiring <mask> and stated: "This is pretty simple. It's all on the president's shoulders.It's all the president's fault." Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele accused Trump of silence on <mask>, stating "I guess I kind of at this point have reached the 'my glass is no longer half-full,' it's just overflowing with all the crazy that comes out of Trump. Why would we be surprised that a self-proclaimed nationalist would not speak out against a self-proclaimed white nationalist? Why are we acting like this is a space that Donald Trump is gonna go in on behalf of the American ideal? No, he's not. ... These are his people, alright?And he's not gonna thank law enforcement because he's probably not happy about what law enforcement did." Vegas Tenold, author of the book Everything You Love Will Burn: Inside the Rebirth of White Nationalism wrote an op-ed on The Guardian titled "The neo-Nazi plot against America is much bigger than we realize" about <mask> and other far-right domestic terrorists. <mask>'s rights to Coast Guard benefits and retirement pay were terminated following his conviction, and Coast Guard Commandant Karl L. Schultz said, "Any semblance of hate, bigotry or advocacy of violence has no place in our Coast Guard. This includes involvement with white supremacist or extremist groups of any type." Personal life

title: Tanguito

texts:
José Alberto Iglesias (September 16, 1945 – May 19, 1972), better known as Tango or its diminutive <mask> or Ramses VII, was an Argentine rock singer-songwriter. Born into a working class family from western Greater Buenos Aires, he began his career in the early 1960s as the lead singer of the nueva ola group Los Dukes, which recorded two singles released on label Music Hall. In the late 1960s, he became a leading figure in the countercultural underground of Buenos Aires, a scene that gave birth to Argentine rock (known locally as rock nacional, Spanish for "national rock"), the earliest incarnation of Spanish-language rock. <mask> is celebrated for co-writing Los Gatos' hit "La balsa", that catapulted the burgeoning rock nacional into massive popularity in the summer of 1967–68. This success led to a contract with RCA Victor which soon ended after the little impact of the 1968 single "El hombre restante". Tanguito later worked for Mandioca, Argentine rock's first independent record label founded by producers Jorge Álvarez and Pedro Pujó in 1968. In the early 1970s, his amphetamine addiction worsened and deeply damaged his career and personal life.He was arrested on several occasions and later hospitalized at the Hospital Borda, where he was subjected to electroshock therapy. In May 1972, he was declared legally insane and transferred to a prison for psychopaths. That same month, <mask> escaped and lost his life under the San Martín train. His only studio album, Tango, was posthumously released in 1973 and compiled his recordings for Mandioca between 1969 and 1970. The album turned Tanguito into a cult figure among suburban rock fans and installed the persistent myth that he had been the original author of "La balsa" and Litto Nebbia had taken advantage of his fragile state of mind. The musician later became a cultural icon as the subject of the 1993 film Tango Feroz, becoming the archetype of the tragic rock hero. In 2009, the archival album Yo soy Ramsés was released, which compiled unedited 1967 recordings for RCA Victor.In 2007, the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone ranked Tango fifty-sixth on its list of the "100 Best Albums of Argentine Rock". Biography

Early days
José Alberto Iglesias was born September 16, 1945, in the industrial town of San Martín, Buenos Aires Province. His family lived in a modest house in the town of Caseros, close to the city of Buenos Aires. Iglesias showed no interest in school, and after flunking out at age 13 he tried different apprenticeships, including gardening school, but did not persevere. The only issue that held his interest was rock and roll. At age 17, José was a fixture of social ballrooms in the Mataderos and Flores neighborhoods, singing mostly rock and roll covers. He also gained local fame as a rock and roll dancer, while most people in the suburbs were tango dancers.To highlight this contrast, his friends started calling him "Tango" or "Tanguito" (the diminutive of "tango"). With his first band, Los Duques, he recorded a few covers and one original song in 1963. La Cueva

In 1965, <mask> and his friend Horacio Martínez became regulars of a night club named La Cueva ("The Cave") in the Recoleta district. The club was to become the cradle of Argentine rock, with celebrities-to-be such as Moris, Sandro, and Litto Nebbia performing regularly, and other figures such as Pipo Lernoud, Miguel Grinberg and Miguel Abuelo sharing the limelight. Many of them were struggling with writing rock lyrics in Spanish, and Tanguito was initially perceived as a novelty act, who could sing energetic Elvis Presley covers in broken English. The musicians would end the night by walking up Pueyrredón avenue together to have late supper or breakfast in café La Perla del Once in the Balvanera district. When Tanguito once ranted in the café's washroom about being alone and sad in the world, Nebbia encouraged him to write a song based on his refrain.Tanguito obliged, and Nebbia added a choir with a vaguely bossa nova air. That song would become the first mega-hit of Spanish language rock and roll: "La balsa" ("The raft"). Nebbia's band, Los Gatos, recorded it on June 19, 1967, and got a significant amount of radio play that helped the single sell over 250,000 copies. Both the name and the lyrics of the song may refer to José Feliciano's La Barca, and many of <mask>'s friends acknowledge that Tanguito had Feliciano's song on his mind. <mask>'s own rendition was not immediately recorded, but was broadcast on national television a few months later, in a segment about the Buenos Aires version of the hippie phenomenon. The success of "Los Gatos" and Tanguito's status as co-composer of "La Balsa" hinted that a career break was around the corner, yet his first single, recorded January 18, 1968, was not marketed effectively by RCA and sales floundered. During 1968, several songs by Tanguito, notably Amor de Primavera ("Spring Love"), were being covered or borrowed by emerging artists in the Argentine rock and roll scene.Tanguito would also take credit for other people's songs, including the ribald song "Errol Flynn" which was popular in the summer of 1968. All of Tanguito songs are credited to "Ramsés VII", one of his many pseudonyms, after the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses and Tango's affectation for seventh chords. Other pseudonyms he used from time to time include Susano Valdez and Drago (after a then-popular seltzer machine). When Tanguito broke with RCA he found a new home in Mandioca, a label dedicated exclusively to rock, which immediately arranged for studio time. But he had trouble motivating himself to complete an album. Typically, Tanguito would record one or two song sketches alone with his guitar, or jam with available musicians, and disappear for days. By that time he had switched from alcohol and casual marijuana use to hard drugs, and was injecting amphetamines whenever he could afford them.In those years, Argentine's police used hard-line tactics against drug addicts and had very little education about how to deal with them effectively. Tanguito would get arrested repeatedly for vagrancy or inebriation and be left unattended in a detention cell. One such episode in late 1970 was so damaging to his mental health that Tanguito became unable to recognize his friends, and was taken home by his mother for recovery. Later days
In February 1971, Tanguito was arraigned and charged with heading a drug gang. Diagnosed as mentally insane, he was committed to the José T. Borda Neuropsychiatric Hospital, where he was submitted to insulin shock therapy and other treatments designed to wane him off the amphetamines. Instead of recovering, his mental health deteriorated and in 1972 he was committed to the hospital's long-term care facility. Tanguito escaped from the hospital on the dawn of May 19, 1972.He managed to reach the Pacífico train station, where he apparently hoped to board a train to his parents' home in Caseros; at 10:50 am, he fell on the tracks and was fatally hit by an oncoming train. Influence and legacy

Argentine rock was to become a seminal influence in rock en español; <mask> provided the first real hit of that movement as well as many sketches that were freely used by others. His brief but brilliant trajectory is recalled by many elder statesmen of Argentine rock as a main force in the early days, and as a sad remainder of the damage that drugs can wreak. Argentine author Miguel Grinberg, who was involved in that scene, has said  that Tanguito influenced the transition of Argentine rock from English to Spanish more than anybody else. In 1973, Tanguito's Mandioca recordings were published in an LP album named Tango. This album was released again in 1982 and 1993. The album's rendition of La Balsa has a spoken word introduction by Manal's Javier Martínez in which he repeats: "you composed La Balsa in the washroom of La Perla del Once".Martínez was in the studio for the recording but did not participate, and uttered the words for dramatic effect. The emphasis created friction with Nebbia, who felt that Mandioca was claiming <mask> was the song's sole author. The rift subsided over time, but Nebbia remained a jealous custodian of his own rights. Luis Alberto Spinetta covered <mask>'s Amor de Primavera and made that song a highlight of his concerts during the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1989, a television show named "Tanguito" starring Emilio Bardi was aired in the "Especiales de ATC" program on (Canal 7). Director Marcelo Piñeyro directed his first feature film Tango Feroz ("Fierce Tango") in 1993, which became the top-grossing movie of the year in Argentina. The movie dramatized the life of a rock singer, obviously based on Tanguito, referring to the political and social climate of Argentina in the 1960s and early 1970s.Piñeyro did not obtain permission to use <mask>'s songs in the soundtrack, and was unable to get Nebbia to help researching Tanguito's life. He took artistic license in the plot of the movie, since the real-life Tanguito was not active politically and did not comment on the events that shook Argentina such as the 1969 Cordobazo, even though his "hippie" image might have influenced his ordeals with the police. His turbulent personal life and drug-related issues were also sanitized in the screenplay. Spanish singer-songwriter pays tribute to Tanguito with his song of the same name "Tanguito", released originally on his 1999 album "Pensión Triana". One of the lines reads "Toma del escenario la madera necesaria, subíme de la mano y naufraguemos en tu balsa" which is Ruibal's gesture to <mask>'s song La balsa. References

title: Zofia Sadowska

texts:
<mask>ka (born 28 February 1887 in Warsaw; died 7 March 1960 in Warsaw) was a Polish doctor, feminist and social activist. Early life, work and research
She was born in a noble family (bearing Lubicz coat of arms), to Stanisław Sadowski and Maria Zofia nee Kuczker. She graduated with a gold medal from the 4th Women's Gymnasium in Warsaw at Kapucyńska Street. In 1904 she began studies at the Women's Medical Institute in Saint-Petersburg, which she graduated with the highest honors in 1911. In 1914, she was the first woman and the first Polish woman to defend her doctorate ("On the influence of non-proteinogenic amines on peripheral vessels") at the Military Medical Academy in Saint-Petersburg. She worked as an internist in several cities of the Russian Empire, incl. in hospitals of the Russian Red Cross during World War I.In 1918, she returned to Warsaw, where she became an assistant in the 2nd clinic of internal diseases and pathological anatomy of the newly created medical department of the University of Warsaw, and opened a private practice. During the war of 1920, she was assigned to the military epidemiological hospital in Grodno. She had a reputation for being an excellent diagnostician. Social work and activism

From an early age, she was involved in social activism and the fight for women's rights. As a high school student, she belonged to self-education clubs, after graduating from high school, she studied in the so-called Flying University. During the school strike in the Kingdom of Poland (1905–196), she organized secret classes where she gave lectures on mathematics and physics. During her Saint-Petersburg studies, she belonged to the Polish Women's Equality Association (Związek Równouprawnienia Kobiet Polskich) (she was the chair of Saint-Petersburg section and a permanent delegate to the general councils of the Association in Warsaw), she wrote to the Warsaw periodical „Ster".She co-founded and then was (with eg. Cezaria Jędrzejewiczowa and Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna) a member of the governing bodies of the Association of Polish Women Students – Spójnia, within which she led the section of medics. She was the vice-president of the board of the student treasury, she founded student discussion clubs. During World War I, she was active in the Saint-Petersburg branch of the Polish Society for Aid to War Victims (Polskie Towarzystwo Pomocy Ofiarom Wojny). On 11 November 1918 she became part of a three-person delegation demanding the right to vote from Józef Piłsudzki. In February 1919, she ran for the Warsaw City Council from the ninety-eighth place on the list of the National Electoral Committee, without obtaining a seat on the council. 1920s lesbian scandal
Probably ever since World War I, <mask> Sadowska dressed in a masculine fashion.She also had not particularly secret or hidden love relationships with women before. Late 1923, the Warsaw tabloid "Express Poranny" (issue 318), followed by subsequent Warsaw and non-Warsaw newspapers, published sensational information about the events that supposedly took place in the apartment and office of "Dr. S." at Mazowiecka Street 7. The press accused <mask> Sadowska of seducing female patients (including minors), organizing lesbian orgies with sadistic elements, running a lesbian brothel and administering drugs to women to make them dependent on her (the police investigation did not prove the truthfulness of the charges). These publications began a several-year-long "Ancient Greek (lesbian) scandal" related to the person of Dr. Sadowska. As she failed to get the corrections published, <mask> Sadowska took legal action and accused Jerzy Plewiński, editor-in-chief of Express Poranny. and its publisher Antoni Lewandowski for libel (under Art. 533 of the Penal Code).The "great trial with a deep moral foundation", held on 11–16 February 1924 in the 2nd Criminal Division of the District Court at 15 Miodowa Street, attracted enormous interest among the residents of Warsaw and the capital and national press. It resulted in the court's decision of closing the door to the public on the first day. During the trial, in which the most famous lawyers at the time were involved on both sides (the accusation Marian Niedzielski, the defense Mieczysław Ettinger and Stefan Perzyński), numerous representatives of the medical community and famous Warsaw actors (Lucyna Messal, Hanka Ordonówna, Maria Majdrowiczówna) testified, opinie lekarskie przedstawiali czołowi specjaliści od medycyny sądowej i psychiatrii. medical opinions were presented by leading specialists in forensic medicine and psychiatry. The fact that the trial was called the "Sadowska case" emphasizes that the main topic in the courtroom was the sexual orientation and lifestyle of the accuser. The tabloid press (acting as a defender of morality) called Sadowska "a social pest" and "an enemy of the state and society", and blamed her for breaking up marriages and leading to at least one suicide. Questioned by the defense lawyer, Sadowska said that "the accusation of practicing lesbian love is not disgraceful".The court ruled against Jerzy Plewiński, who was sentenced to a week's arrest, a fine and the payment of court fees. After the appeal, Plewiński was acquitted, however, as was Henryk Butkiewicz, the publisher of "Kurier Czerwony" (a magazine from the same media concern Dom Prasy SA), whom Sadowska also sued for libel. The third case brought by her, against the private detective Stanisław Antoni Wotowski, commissioned to deliver denunciations on Sadowska to public and social institutions, ended with his acquittal in the first instance. In 1925, <mask> Sadowska herself was brought to the court of the Warsaw-Białystok Medical Chamber, and then to the Supreme Medical Chamber Court. At the end of 1926, said court sentenced her for "acts inconsistent with medical ethics" for one year's revocation of the right to practice. Further life
The scandal put an end to <mask> Sadowska's scientific career. In the 1920s, she took part in at least the first four ladies rallies in Poland.In the 1930s she worked as an assistant at the Departments of Anatomy and Pathology at the University of Warsaw. At the end of the 1930s, she moved out of the 7 Mazowiecka Street apartment to live and run an office at Three Crosses Square 8. During World War II, she organized an infirmary at Grójecka Street, and during the Warsaw Uprising, a field hospital in Okęcie, later transformed into the Warsaw Children's Home. After the war, she became the president of the Society of Polish-Soviet Friendship in Okęcie and continued her work of a Warsaw doctor. She died in 1960 at the age of 73, having left her whole inheritance to Helena Suska (primo voto Szwejcer). Życie Warszawy published an obituary in which the doctor was incorrectly named Dr. Maria Sadowska. The funeral was organized by friends from medical circles.She was buried at Warsaw's Powązki Cemetery (plot 29, row 1, grave 10) next to her mother (signed on her tombstone as <mask> Kowalkowska, 1 voto Sadowska). Reception
Due to the scandal, the figure of <mask> Sadowska as a scientist and doctor has been erased from collective memory. She appears only in a few memories of her contemporaries (Romana Pachucka, Andrzej Wierzbicki and Józef Mieczysław Pfeiffer do not mention her private life or the events of 1923–27; only Irena Krzywicka mentions "a lesbian scandal"). It was not until the beginning of the 21st century that the subject was taken up by the authors of the calendar "LESteśmy – byłyśmy", and then the literary scholar Krzysztof Tomasik (Homobiografie, 2008), gay rights activist Wojciech Szot, who after writing articles about Sadowska published her biography Panna doktór Sadowska in 2020 and historian Agnieszka Weseli who since 2012 has been organizing in Warsaw yearly parties to commemorate Sadowska on her birthday.
