Enyimba International
During his spell with Enyimba International F.C., he won the CAF Champions League twice, with one noteworthy distinction: He was always substituted before penalty shootouts.

In the 2009–10 season, Hapoel won the league and cup double, with <mask> featuring prominently.

On 8 December 2013, <mask> finally conceded a goal after playing 1,062 minutes of Ligue 1 football in an away match against Bordeaux, during which he was beaten by Landry N'Guémo's deflected strike in the 27th minute. He thus came within 114 minutes of equalling Gaëtan Huard's Ligue 1 goalkeeping record, set in 1993, of playing 1,176 minutes without conceding a goal.In the 2017–18 season <mask> did not make a league appearance having been left out of the first team due to "a disagreement between the player and the club's management".

 to enhance the country's territorial defense, internal security operations, total force capability build-up, humanitarian assistance and disaster response, and international defense security engagements. At the same time, he also watches over the operations of the department's civilian bureaus - managing disaster preparedness, developing self-reliant defense industry, and improving the welfare and wellbeing of the country's defenders - the Filipino veterans and our soldiers, as well as their families. Chairperson of the National Task Force Against COVID-19
On March 25, 2020, Secretary <mask> has been designated by President Duterte to lead the National Task Force (NTF) created by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases to fight COVID-19. As such, he handles the operational command to implement the National Action Plan (NAP) that was created to effectively and efficiently implement and decentralize the system of managing the COVID-19 situation. Chairperson of the Security, Justice and Peace Cluster
With the reorganization of the Duterte Cabinet in May 2016 through Executive Order No.24, Lorenzana assumed a bigger role as Chairperson of the Security, Justice, and Peace Cluster. The cluster works to protect the national territory and boundaries of the Philippines, attain just and lasting peace, ensure welfare of Overseas Filipino Workers, strengthen the rule of law, institutionalize an efficient and impartial justice system; and protect human rights. Under his leadership, the cluster crafted its roadmap until 2022 which the member agencies are resolutely fulfilling, as part of the government's sworn commitment to the Filipino people. Martial Law Administrator
On 23 May 2017, shortly after the Marawi City was besieged by foreign and local terrorists, he was appointed by the President Rodrigo Duterte as administrator of Martial Law in Mindanao, pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 217. Under his guidance, the implementation of Martial Law by the security forces is one that was non-invasive and non-intrusive, but nonetheless, highly effective towards neutralizing the threats of rebellion, terrorism, and violent extremism. Grounded on the AFP's mandate to protect the fundamental rights of the people, which are guaranteed by the Constitution of the Philippines, the defense chief ably directed the armed forces to observe and adhere to the rule of law, protect human rights, and uphold the international humanitarian law.Pursuant to <mask>'s recommendation, the Martial Law in Mindanao was no longer extended by the President after it lapsed on 31 December 2019. Its objectives have been successfully achieved upon the termination of rebellion in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, and other areas in Mindanao, effectively restoring peace and order. Government security forces were able to neutralize thousands of local, foreign and communist terrorist groups, most of whom surrendered while others were either captured or killed during military operations. Thousands of high powered and low powered firearms and improvised explosive devices had been seized or turned in. The success of martial law may also be attributed to the closer engagements of the AFP with local leaders down to the barangay level, and the efficient monitoring of the performance of local chief executives, in support to the good governance agenda of the Duterte Administration. CORDS for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
In May 2019, Secretary <mask> was again designated as the Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. The region is now undergoing fast transition as the Bangsamoro Organic Law is being implemented.While this designation is pursuant to Executive Order No. 70 creating the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, he also fully supports Muslims in their exercise of their right to autonomy and self-determination under one Philippine Flag. Given the enactment of the Bangsamoro Organic Law and its subsequent ratification after the resounding success of a two-part plebiscite, the government is now enabling the Bangsamoro Transition Authority in implementing the normalization process which includes, among others, the demilitarization of surrendered firearms as well as the decommissioning of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front Fighters. These steps are essential in building lasting peace and inclusive development and progress in the region. AFP Modernization
Under his leadership, the capacity and capability building of the Armed Forces of the Philippines became a top priority of the current administration. Under the AFP Modernization Program, 80% of all projects under the Horizon 1 and Horizon 2 have been completed as of third quarter of 2020. Among the vital assets delivered in 2020 include the BRP Jose Rizal, the first missile frigate of the Philippine Navy; six brand-new Super Tucano from Brazil for close air support, light attack, aerial reconnaissance missions, and counter insurgency; first batch of the Sikorsky S70-I Blackhawk Helicopters from Poland; and Php1.38 billion worth of defense gears from the US Defense Department.In the next few months and years, the Philippines can expect the delivery of more planes to patrol its skies, more ships to defend its maritime domain, more equipment for Filipino troops to monitor and respond to threats, and better systems to quickly adapt to change. Chairperson of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
As Chairperson of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, Secretary Lorenzana works to empower Filipino citizens through disaster preparedness, and to build climate and disaster-resilient communities. On the policy side, he is steadfast in implementing Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010, and in honoring Philippines’ international commitments such as the Hyogo Framework and the Sendai Framework towards building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters. He also actively promotes regional cooperation among ASEAN countries to strengthen resilience and sustain economic growth amidst the presence of hazards. He also personally joins pre-and post-disaster assessment inspections and briefings like what he did during Typhoon Haima or Super Typhoon Lawin, Battle of Marawi, Pampanga and Mindanao Earthquakes, 2020 Taal Volcano Eruption, and other disasters. Under his leadership, three-government command and control centers in Visayas and Mindanao and several regional evacuation centers in various provinces were built. He likewise facilitated the inauguration of the Disaster Emergency Logistics System for ASEAN (DELSA) Philippines satellite warehouse.Veterans' and soldiers' causes
Under the current administration, Php6.421 billion was ordered released by President Duterte to settle the arrearages in pensions of AFP retirees covering fiscal years 2008 to 2013. This was made possible through the Lorenzana's genuine concern for his fellow veterans and their families. In 2018, the Philippine Congress enacted RA No. 11164 increasing the pension of World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans from Php5,000 to Php20,000. <mask>'s leadership was instrumental in the approval of this monumental welfare legislation for veterans that was strongly supported by the President. Controversies
On September 8, 2020, <mask> confirmed to the House of Representatives that he signed a contract allowing Dito Telecommunity (which is 40% owned by the Government of China through China Telecom) to install cell towers inside Filipino military camps despite multiple security concerns. He assured there are enough safeguards in the deal, saying the "security of our camps will be maintained."In the final week of December, Duterte revealed to the public that several military men have already been inoculated with the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine from Sinopharm even though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved the import and use of any COVID-19 vaccine. <mask> confirmed that the Presidential Security Group (PSG) have already been vaccinated, though he himself was not. He later confirmed that the vaccines were donated and smuggled, and that the PSG "violated FDA rules". However, he defended the vaccination, saying: "They did it in good faith. Now everybody there is safe from COVID-19". He then told the FDA to "expedite its approval of COVID-19 vaccines so that legitimate importers could start importing". He also assured that the rest of the armed forces will wait for an FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine.On January 15, 2021, Lorenzana sent a letter to Danilo Concepcion, the president of the University of the Philippines (UP), that the DND has unilaterally terminated the UP–DND accord, a 1989 agreement that sets guidelines on military and police operations inside the university. He called the agreement "obsolete", and reasoned that its abrogation was necessary since the New People's Army (NPA) have "embedded themselves inside UP and are recruiting university students". He insisted that UP has become "a safe haven for enemies of the State", and that the university administration failed to prevent its students from joining the communists. The abrogation was met with protests from the university's students and faculty, as well as progressive groups and government officials, calling it a threat to academic freedom. Nonetheless, on January 21, Lorenzana announced the unilateral abrogation of a similar pact between the DND and the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) that was signed in 1990. Personal life
Lorenzana is married to Editha Aguilar from Caloocan. They have four children and one granddaughter.In April 2021, while serving as Chairman of the National Task Force against COVID-19, Lorenzana revealed that he had contracted the virus, although he claims that he is asymptomatic.

title: Beatrice Burns

<mask> (February 2, 1906 – February 28, 1988) was the First Lady of Hawaii for three terms. Born in Oregon and raised in numerous states, she became a Registered nurse, joined the United States Army Nurse Corps, and moved to Hawaii. She met Hawaii's future governor John A<mask> during a picnic at Hanauma Bay, when he was a college student. Together they had four children, one of which was born premature and died when she was struck by poliomyelitis. She never fully recovered from her paralysis, but lived a full life as a wife and mother. During her tenure as the First Lady of Hawaii, she restored the governor's residence of Washington Place. Early life and marriage
She was born February 20, 1906, in Sumpter, Oregon to teachers Thomas Stanton Van Fleet and Bessie Majors.The family moved dozens of times throughout California, Oregon, and Nevada. After training as a registered nurse (RN) at the San Jose Hospital School of Nursing, she joined the United States Army Nurse Corps, and was assigned to Letterman Army Hospital in San Francisco, before being transferred to Schofield Barracks on Oahu in 1930. John A<mask> (Jack) was a student at the University of Hawaii, with a night switchboard job at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Their first date was a group picnic at Hanauma Bay. Afterwards they continued dating, eventually deciding to marry. He dropped out of college, and quit the newspaper to take a better-paying  job with the Hawaiian Pineapple Company. They married at Schofield Barracks on June 8, 1931.She was a lieutenant at the time. When the Great Depression affected jobs at the pineapple cannery, the young couple joined her parents working on a farm in Mendocino County, California. They returned to Hawaii in 1932, with Jack working at another cannery, eventually joining the Honolulu Police Department. Their first child John Jr. (Jack Jr.) was born in 1932, followed by sister Mary Beth in 1934. Polio
In 1935, <mask> became ill with poliomyelitis during her final trimester, and delivered a premature son William who died within hours. The disease left her paralyzed. Medical practice in that era dictated that she be completely immobilized; nevertheless, she became pregnant again.Advised by her doctors to abort the fetus, she and Jack opted for alternative treatment from Seishiro Okazaki of the Nikko Sanatorium of Restoration Massage in Honolulu. Okazaki freed her from the medical splits placed on her, massaged her, and used a therapy of exercise and hot seaweed-water baths. The treatments were considered a success in that <mask> regained use of her arms and head, and began to see overall physical improvements. However, she never regained use of her legs, and spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair. <mask> gave birth to James Seishiro <mask> (Jim) in 1937. She had not converted to Jack's Catholic faith before their marriage, but did so after the birth of Jim. Political wife
At the end of World War II, Jack began his rise in politics.He quit the police force and bought the Kalama Liquor Store. Jack was often away with political involvement, and hiring employees was a financial drain on the business. <mask> eventually ran the business herself, with her youngest son Jim pushing her home in her wheelchair in the evening. When Jack ran for a seat as Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives from Hawaii Territory in 1956, <mask>'s determination to live a normal life with polio became his political asset with a write-up titled "The Woman Behind the Man: The Story of <mask>". After his election, they lived in a Washington, D.C. apartment, where <mask> saw less of her husband. She made his meals at home, and he took her for Sunday sight-seeing trips. The <mask> children were all grown and living their individual lives in the mainland United States.She entertained political wives with small gatherings in the apartment, as her husband put his legislative efforts towards helping Hawaii achieve statehood. With the Territory of Hawaii set to become the 50th state in the union on August 21, 1959, <mask>, like many of his colleagues in the nation's capitol, thought Jack would throw his hat in the ring for the United States Senate. Instead, he chose to pursue the office of Governor of Hawaii. When she learned of it from her eldest son, her immediate response was disbelief. Jack lost the 1959 gubernatorial election to William F. Quinn. The couple celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki. When he ran for the office a second time, Jack won the 1962 gubernatorial race in Hawaii.The week before the election, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin ran cooking recopies from the wives of candidates. <mask>'s was West Indian Shrimp Curry. She was an active First Lady of Hawaii during all three of his terms as governor, hosting diplomats and legislators, and planning her children's weddings . Unlike their family home, <mask> managed a household staff in the governor's residence of Washington Place. The <mask> moved into a decaying and termite-infested house, and she was in charge of restoring it. She had learned the value of at-home entertaining as a congressional wife. Persuaded one luncheon at a time in the run-down mansion, the legislature appropriated $50,000 for repairs.At the March 1968 National Governors Conference in Washington D. C., the wives went with Lady Bird Johnson to a planting of dogwood trees on the Potomac River. It had been raining, and temperatures were below freezing, but <mask> rolled her chair into the mud and planted trees. As they approached Jack's third gubernatorial term in 1970, <mask> reflected with satisfaction on her overhaul of the landscaping at Washington Place. There was one gardener and no budget to cover it. The landscaping issue was solved partially through a legislative budget appropriation, but largely through volunteers. Her request for help on the lawn and gardens was met by unpaid citizens of Hawaii who regularly worked on the gubernatorial landscaping for years. Later years and death
Son Jim that she gave birth to after being paralyzed by polio became Chief Judge of Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals, and president of the American Judicature Society.Jack was treated for cancer during his last year in office. After George Ariyoshi won the 1974 election for governor, <mask> and son Jim represented Jack at the inaugural. Jack died on April 5, 1975, and was buried at the National Cemetery of the Pacific. <mask> died February 28, 1988, and was buried next to her husband. References

<mask> (1885 in Pembroke, Wales – 1951 in "The Leaze", Oxlynch, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, England) was a British engineer, socialist and author. Early life and education

<mask> was the son of <mask>, a Wesleyan minister, author, and theologian; and of Hannah Elizabeth Thistle. Although he published under the name <mask>, early records refer to him as <mask>. He married twice. First to Margaret Winifred Pearce of the Pearce family of Priday, Metford and Company Limited. After her death, he married Eleanor Biss. He was educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey and at the Technical School, Gloucester, where he served an apprenticeship and passed through the shops and drawing office of W. Sisson Ltd, power plant engineers from 1901 to 1906.After gaining experience as a junior draughtsman with G Waller and Son Ltd of Stroud, Gloucester, he was employed from 1909 to 1913 as a contract engineer with Messrs Williams and Rugby Robinson. This was followed by a brief connexion with the Gas Light and Coke Company as senior assistant engineer. During the First World War, he first acted as assistant district manager to the Metropolitan Munitions Committee and later as assistant Manager at the Ailsa National Shell Factory, London. According to a letter written by his daughter-in-law, <mask>, in 1995: during the First World War, <mask> "volunteered for military service and was turned down on medical grounds...  and had the horrid experience of having a very young and smart ... woman, one of a self-set up group who went about the West End, London, stopping young men in the street and asking in very contemptuous tones: Why aren't you in uniform, for your country? They were notorious and obnoxious and caused, as it did to (him) a lot of hurt". In 1918, he became associated with Cox and Company Ltd, bankers of London as technical advisor and factory manager. In April 1921, he was resident at Redcliff, Caswell Bay, Glamorganshire and was described as "general manager and Chief Engineer to a large industrial concern" In 1922, he went to join W.H.Allen, Sons & Co Ltd mechanical and electrical engineers, for which firm he was engaged as district manager and engineer until 1929, when he went into practice on his own account as a consulting engineer. Presentations to learned societies

In 1930, he addressed the Newcomen Society on the origin of the Windmill. On 29 September 1931, he addressed the British Association for the Advancement of Science on the "Early Evolution of Power Engineering". Later life
During the 1939–1945 war, he was editor of technical literature for the British Council, London. Travelling to London on Monday mornings after spending the weekend at home at the Leaze, Oxlynch. He was a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, of the Newcomen Society, the Society of Authors and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He was a self-declared communist and had a keen interest in the Soviet Union, in particular the Ukraine.Because of his fondness for the Soviet Union he was known to his family as "popski". Similarly, he owned a cat called Pushkin. He retired in 1929 to devote himself to his writings. He continued to write articles for technical journals and newspapers. He was a frequent contributor to The Citizen of Gloucester. Children

He had two sons by his first marriage:
<mask> <mask> (born Rugby 18 September 1911 died Gloucester 2 May 1990) attended Cheltenham College, obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of London External System in 1937, and trained as a lawyer under his uncle Henry Hayes <mask> (junior) of H.H.Vowles and Company, Gloucester. In 1943, <mask> trained to become a Pilot Officer with the RAF at the 13th Initial Training Wing (C Flight, No.3 Squadron) which was possibly based at the Toorak Hotel, Torquay. From 17–31 September 1943, he was at the 4 EFTS Brough, Yorkshire. Between 31 September 1943 and 27 November 1943, he travelled to Canada. There he was taught trainee pilots to fly the de Havilland Tiger Moth. He was based at the 35 EFTS at Neepawa from 27 September 1943 to 11 March 1944. From 11 March 1944 to 20 October 1944, he was based at the 17 Service Flying Training School, Souris, Manitoba. In Souris, he flew Anson II planes.From 9 April 1945 to 8 August 1945, he was based at the No 1333 Transport Support Conversion Unit, Leicester East. Here he flew Oxford and Dakota planes and undertook "radar flights". <mask> went on to become a partner in Vowles, Jessop and Keen of Lorraine House, 45 Park Road, Gloucester, the house in which his Pearce grandparents had lived. He was Clerk to County Justices (Gloucester division). FH <mask> married Elizabeth Langhorne BA (1911–1999) and was a member of the Royal Air Force Association (Gloucester branch). As well as a full-time solicitor, he was also honorary legal adviser to the Gloucester Association of parish and town councils from 1936 to 1976. Christopher David <mask> (born Gloucester March 1916) completed articles in Gloucester.He visited the Soviet Union in 1936 and as result joined the Communist Party of Great Britain, remaining a member until its dissolution. He qualified as a solicitor in 1940 but during the second world war worked as a mechanical engineer for Dowty-Rotol, Gloucester, on aircraft production and becoming the works union convenor. After the war, he became sub-editor the Daily Worker. In 1947, be went into private practice with the legal firm Garber Vowles and company, London, later known as Gaster, Vowles, Turner and Loeffler. The firm was retained by a number of trade unions and advised the governments of Czechoslovakia and Poland. His obituary was published in the Morning Star on 28 September 1993. He was a director of Priday, Metford and Company Limited and owned a cottage in Southcot, Pewsey.In 1935, <mask> met Eleanor Biss, who became his second wife. They had no children. She later lived in Stonehouse in a cottage named "Elscot". Political ideas

He recognised that there would be increased competition for resources and markets as productivity rose and that this would impact upon people's lives both by taking resources away from good causes, such as health and the advancement of science and by the effects of war:

In "post-war conditions of politics and trade... trade ... must find a vent in export for the huge increase of capacity in the productive
machinery of this and other countries, leading to fiercer and fiercer competition for foreign markets and for 'control' of the raw material producing regions – particularly coal and oil areas – and so to another
large scale war beside which the last will pale into insignificance, a war possibly with America, as part of the price I have to pay for the goods I buy under the present system. Many other items I have also entered up which do not commonly figure in a manufacturer's cost accounts, although they must inevitably be paid for all the same-neglect of science, neglect of health, neglect indeed of all that might to-day make life fair and gracious, simply because industry is run from the point of view of 'frenzied finance' and not for the
service of mankind. . . . ." The Price We Pay

He felt that in the 1920s political change was around the corner, in particular to the left:  "Nevertheless, in spite of all my doubts there are times when I am upon the whole more hopeful of the world ridding itself of its innumerable burdens; when I see signs of more and yet more fires being kindled in the minds of men; smouldering as yet, but soon it may be to blaze up and spread the knowledge that
a time of great change is at hand." He recognised the danger posed by Hitler to Eastern Europe at the end of the 1930s.In "Ukraine and its People" (1939), he wrote "There is good reason to believe that Herr Hitler proposes to make use of (Ukrainian minority movements) to serve his own ambitions. The nature of these ambitions, which include the annexation of Soviet Ukraine, is indicated in Mein Kampf". It is interesting that whilst being a Communist, <mask>' first wife was a shareholder in her family's milling company in Gloucester, England. The company, Priday, Metford and Company Limited, was, however, family-owned for five generations and renowned for retaining many staff members for over fifty years. In a brief account of his life left in about 1990 by his daughter in law Elizabeth Langhorne, she states: "HPV was an engineer, socialist and journalist. He also moved to Gloucester and worked as a left wing journalist trying to promote peaceful relations with the Soviet Union. Conservatives still run when they see a Vowles in their territory".Religious ideas

His religious ideas are particularly interesting given that he was the son of a Wesleyan Minister and became a communist in an era when socialism was popular amongst western intellectuals. He discussed Christianity in the context of socialism in his article entitled "Tradition in the Great State" in the book Socialism and the Great State edited by H.G. Wells and published in 1912. This book outlined how a state run along ideal socialist lines would be like. He stated the following: "Many of the needs of men are long-lived, and it is an open question whether most if not all of our present-day traditions will not go on to a fuller and completer influence in the lives of the citizens of the Great State. That large body of tradition we speak of as Christianity, for example, may conceivably serve as the basis of the moral tradition in the Great State. This matter is, I believe, to be discussed more fully in another paper in this book, but the present writer now ventures to offer a few remarks that seem to fall within his scope.In many ways he admits Christian tradition has been a beneficial factor in our evolution. Its teaching of love and concord is of the very essence of the Great State. Whatever broadens the basis of sympathy and mutual understanding is a force operating in the constructive direction, and so it would seem probable that Christianity will at least survive in its spirit and intermingle with the more elaborate traditions of the future. In no case can a tradition disappear without leaving behind it some effect or influence. But this is far from asserting that there need be or will be a definite survival of Christianity as such. Contemporary Christianity must purge itself from a multitude of defects before it can possibly be acceptable to the clear-headed men who will be the normal citizens of the Great State. A mere spirit of co-operation alone can never be all sufficing for the religious basis of tradition.The Great State will be complex beyond all precedent and that he may cope successfully with these complexities the average citizen must be trained to think clearly and exhaustively, and be given a wealth of tradition for his guidance multifarious beyond any the world has yet produced. Christianity as we know it at present makes no insistence upon understanding and mental alertness as duties, nor upon the supreme necessity of thoroughness in thought and work. It is not a critical religion; it is emotionally sound, perhaps, but critically careless, and the vital preservative of right in a complex situation is a critical faculty highly stimulated and fed." It is not known if his perspective on religion changed later in his life. Collaboration with others
<mask> collaborated with H.G. Wells and Professor Sir E.Ray Lankester. He was a close friend of Hubert Cecil Booth, inventor of the vacuum cleaner.Booth married <mask>' sister. Publications

He continues to serve as a Science Advisor and on its Board of Directors. In 2012, <mask> retired as Emeritus and Distinguished Professor, University of Utah. The same year, he ran as an unaffiliated candidate for Congress in Utah's District 2 on a Towards a Sustainable Future campaign.Research and work
<mask>'s research has been focused on biomaterials and on biochemical sensors. He is most known for formulating the minimum interfacial free energy hypothesis for biocompatibility. His early work dealt with blood-materials interactions and with approaches for enhanced blood compatibility, based largely on protein-coated, hydrogel-coated, and/or polyethylene glycol-coated surfaces. His PhD dissertation was a theoretical model of protein adsorption. Later, the theory work was expanded to include polyethylene-glycol and similar interfaces. The focus on surfaces and interfaces required analysis of and development of tools for the characterization of polymer-based interfaces, including interface electric potentials, interfacial energy, chemical composition (via X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), and interface fluorescence analysis. The second stage of his research career focused on biochemical sensors, based initially on fiber optics and total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) analysis.The biochemical sensor work used firefly luciferase bioluminescence and enzyme biochemistry for substrate specificity. He developed the University of Utah's first video-intensive general science telecourse - Science without Walls: Science in Your World - beginning in 1989. The 40 segment TV course was broadcast on KUEN TV throughout Utah for 20 years, until 2012. In the late 2010s, he began working to make clear and obvious the underlying assumptions that form the basis of the current economic system. This was the basis of his 2012 run for US Congress in Utah's Second Congressional District. He lost. He is now focused on planetary sustainability for the 21st Century.He uses online resources to distribute ideas, memes and semi-fictional writings. In April 2016, he published State Change: A Chemical Fantasy, a semi-novel in which 29 real right wing ideologs are given MDMA illegally and secretly in order to improve their objectivity, rationality, and empathy.

title: Atukuri Molla

texts:
<mask> (1440–1530) was a Telugu poet who authored the Telugu-language Ramayana. Identified by her caste, she was popularly known as Kummara (potter) Molla. <mask> or <mask> was the daughter of Kesana Setti who was a potter by profession. That they belonged to the bayya community. Earlier historians placed her as a contemporary of Tikkana Somayaji during the times of Kakatiya empire. But, Kandukuri Veeresalingam Pantulu in his ‘Andhra Kavula Charitra’ points out that she was a contemporary of Sri Krishna Deva Raya, disproving the earlier claims that she was the sister of Kummara Gurunatha who was the scribe of Tikkana Somayaji in translating Mahabharata. Her salutations to poets like Srinatha who lived in the periods between the Kakatiya and Vijayanagara empires point out that they predated her.Biography
<mask> is the second female Telugu poet of note, after Tallapaka Timmakka, wife of Tallapaka Annamayya ("Annamacharya"). She translated the Sanskrit Ramayana into Telugu. Her father Atukuri Kesanna was a potter of Gopavaram, a village in Gopavaram Mandal near Badvel town, fifty miles north of Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh state. He was a Lingayat and devotee of Sri Srikantha Malleswara in Srisailam. He gave her daughter the name <mask>, meaning "Jasmine", a favourite flower of the god, and also nicknamed her Basavi in respect to Sri Basaveswara. Her parents were great devotees of Siva in his forms as Mallikarjuna and Mallikamba of Srisailam. They were initiated disciples of the Siva Math.<mask> was well-known not only in her own village but also in the surrounding hamlets, for her kind hearted nature, generosity and love. <mask> claimed Sri Shiva as Guru, and her inspiration is claimed to have come from Pothanna, who wrote Bhagavata purana in Telugu. Like him, she was Saiva Hindu, but wrote the story of Rama (an incarnation of Vishnu) and also refused to dedicate her Ramayana to any king, a general practice for poets at the time. According to Varadarajn's book, "Study of Vaishnava Literature", as her popularity spread, she was invited to Sessions court and got an opportunity to recite Ramayana in front of Krishnadevaraya and his poets. She spent her old age at Srisailam in the presence of Sri Srikantha Malleswara. Works and style
Her work is known as Molla Ramayanam and is still one of the simplest of many Ramayans written in Telugu. She primarily used simple Telugu and only used Sanskrit words very rarely.Poets that had written earlier than her like Potana used Sanskrit words freely in their works. She was humble and paid tribute to the earlier scholars who had written the Ramayana in her book. The opening poem says – "Ramayana had been written many times. Does someone stop taking food because it has been taken every day? So is the story of Rama and one can write, read and love it as many number of times as possible. "Additionally, she states that if a work is filled with words that reader cannot understand instantaneously, it would be like a dialogue between a deaf person and a dumb person. In other words, poetry should be intelligible to the reader as he reads along and without referring to dictionaries and/or consulting scholars.According to <mask>, poetry should be like honey on the tongue—one should feel it as soon as the honey hits tongue. She added fictional accounts to original stories and in some instances, removed some portions from the original story. Sanskrit-to-Telugu translation works from earlier poets like Tikkana followed the exact story sequences in the original work. She was contemporary to Srinatha and poets of the Vijayanagara Empire, who created Prabhandas which are known for adding fictions. Several critics have attested to her claim as valid. Her Ramayanam has been quoted as a work filled with native flavor, ease of diction and appealing to ordinary readers. In the royal court, the eight high class poets wanted to test <mask>’s poetic talent in front of the emperor.They asked her to demonstrate her talent by composing two stanzas, in a particular metre on the theme of ‘How the lordly elephant was saved from the grip of the crocodile who was stronger than himself’. This theme is found in the eighth canto of the second chapter of the Bhagavat Purana. And she was given only one minute to think. <mask> looked up at the heavens, then closed her eyes, mentally prayed to Sri Rama and in her melodious voice sang the two poems within the prescribed time. All the poets were struck dumb. She had been able to silence all of them. Then the poets of the royal court not only gave her the title of “Kavi Ratna” but also recommended to the king that he show great honour to this saint and poet.Later life
Returning to her native village, <mask> entrusted her Ramayana, which was already dedicated to Sri Kantha Malleswara, to the temple authorities. As her life's mission was over, she took leave of the deity as also of the village folk and left for Srisailam to spend the rest of her life performing great austerities. During her last days she also spent a great deal of time preaching to those seekers of God who came to her for inspiration and enlightenment. <mask> went into Mahasamadhi about A.D. 1530 at the ripe age of ninety years. Though <mask>'s physical body is gone, her life will continue to be a living example for ages to come. The poems <mask> composed throughout her life are sung wherever Telugu is spoken, throughout the country. Their simplicity and intense spiritual fervour have made them popular in the past five hundred years.Awards and honors
 Andhra Pradesh government erected a statue of her on the tankbund in Hyderabad along with few other Great Telugu personalities. A fictional account of her life story has been written by Inturi Venkateswara Rao, under the title Kummara Molla, published in 1969
Based on this novel, another writer Sunkara Satyanarayana wrote a ballad, which became very popular and has been sung all over Andhra Pradesh
 She was used as a symbol of women's advancement by women's associations. On one recent occasion a women's rights protest began at her statue in Hyderabad, in 2006. A movie Kathanayika Molla was made about her, with Vanisri playing the lead role. See also

title: Mario Parente

texts:
<mask>e was born in Hamilton, Ontario into a working class family of Italian immigrants. Parente was born and grew up in the "lower" part of Hamilton under "the Mountain" as locals call the Niagara Escarpment. "Lower" Hamilton is generally considered to be a more poorer area than "upper" Hamilton. As a teenager, he joined the Hamilton chapter of Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club in 1967. Despite being Italian-Canadian, Parente chose as his biker name "The Wop" in an attempt to turn a pejorative term into an affirmative one. The majority of the people in Ontario in 1967 were Protestants of British descent, and Parente stood out in the Hamilton chapter on the account of his Italian heritage, which he sought to turn to his advantage.Parente dislikes the name <mask>, which he considers to be effeminate, and prefers to be called Mike. Parente's first conviction came shortly after he joined Satan's Choice. Parente was convicted of assaulting a police officer, whom he saw beating a man who was already in handcuffs, leading Parente to attack the policeman. Parente has frequently worked as a construction worker, as a welder and as a bouncer. Detective Sergeant John Harris, a Hamilton policeman who first encountered Parente in 1967, stated: "Unlike a lot of guys, as soon as we started noticing him in Satan's Choice, he'd talk to us. Always had something to say, usually tried to be funny... He got into fights, and could sometimes be confrontational...He had this huge mop of black hair and a big, long beard. He kind of looked like Rasputin". Harris commented on the intense Italianness of Parente, saying "Parente looked Italian, acted Italian". Harris stated that Parente was usually jovial and friendly in his dealings with the police. He added: "One of the things I noticed about him early on was that he was always trying to improve himself, to educate himself. He always wanted to be more eloquent; and if he learned a new word, you could tell because he would use it over and over again in conversation until he found a new one". Parente developed a negative view of most policemen, calling them "bags of shit", but expressed much respect for Harris, despite him being on the other side of the law.Harris is a huge 6'7 man who once played football for the University of Minnesota and was described by the journalist Jerry Langton as "the biggest, most intimidating cop I've ever seen". Despite his respect for Harris, Parente stated that he could be "more physical than he had to be at times". Harris stated: "If you want to get on his good side, call him Mike; he hates being called <mask>". By 1969, Parente was widely viewed as the most toughest member of the Hamilton chapter. The policeman Carl MacLeod stated: "Parente would eventually achieve the exalted reputation among bikers of having a special patch which meant he had either been charged for murder or had a murder conviction to his perverted credit". In 1969, MacLeod raided the clubhouse of the Hamilton chapter, becoming involved in a tense confrontation with Parente and eight other bikers that only ended when police back-up arrived. By the 1970s, Parente had risen to become the chapter president.For a time, he was friendly with his future enemy Walter Stadnick, but the two fell out when Parente vetoed Stadnick's attempt to join Satan's Choice on the grounds he was too short. In 1976, the Satan's Choice national president Bernie Guindon was imprisoned for drug charges, leading Garnet "Mother" McEwen to become the new national president. On 1 July 1977, McEwen together with a number of Satan's Choice chapters "patched over" to join the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. Parente and the Hamilton chapter chose to join the Outlaws. Outlaws
Harris stated Parente became more self-confident after he "patched over" to join the Outlaws. Harris stated: "He was always willing to talk to you, no matter what the situation was like when he was with Satan's Choice. But once he became an Outlaw, he really worked on his personality and he started speaking for the club.He was their spokesman... He was on his bike all the time. And he wore a lot of jewelry. Not just the Harley stuff all the other guys wore, but always things with the Outlaws logo on them; he was very proud to be part of the club". Parente had a reputation in underworld circles as a tough leader. The journalists Julien Sher and William Marsden called Parente the "seemingly invincible leader" of the Outlaws, who never lost a fight. Detective  Harris stated: "<mask> wasn't the smartest guy in the business, but he had all the nerve.A lot of guys act tough, but he was the one who would do everything he promised to do". One piece of jewelry Parente wore had the initials GLGC (Good-Looking Guys Club), which is an informal name the Outlaws use to describe themselves. Three Hamilton men, namely Lloyd Blaquierre, Michael Bierce, and Freddie Weise had been looking to join the Satan's Choice Hamilton chapter and after the "patch over" found themselves unable to join the new Outlaw Hamilton chapter because they were black. Harris recalled: "The Outlaws said it was whites-only and they had to abide by that. So those guys were out; you could be Jewish or Mexican, but you just couldn't be black". Weise, Bierce, and Blaquierre formed the No-Name Motorcycle Club, better known as the "Not So Good-Looking Guys Club". Harris stated that <mask> and the rest of the Outlaws continued to associate with the Not So Good-Looking Guys Club but "they sure didn't like that name".The club ended when Weise, Bierce, and Blaquierre beat a man to death and dumped his body into Hamilton harbor, leading to their convictions and the club being disbanded. On 5 December 1977, the Popeyes Motorcycle Club of Montreal "patched over" to become the first Hells Angel chapter in Canada. On 17 February 1978, a biker war began between the Outlaws and the Hells Angels was when the Hells Angel Yves "Apache" Trudeau shot two Outlaws in Montreal, killing one. In October 1978, Stadnick travelled to Montreal to contact Yves Buteau, the Hells Angels national president to discuss having the Wild Ones "patch over" to become the first Hells Angels chapter in Ontario. Stadnick's plans were aborted by Le Tourbillion massacre on 12 October 1978 when two American Outlaws went into Le Tourbillion bar to shoot the Angels and Wild Ones who were meeting there, killing one of the Angels and two of the Wild Ones. The Hamilton Outlaw chapter killed 5 members of the Wild Ones, causing the latter gang disbanded themselves. Stadnick ended up joining the Hells Angels and became in charge of expanding the club into Ontario.In July 1983, the Hells Angels national president Yves Buteau established the first Angel chapters outside of Quebec when he persuaded the three-chapter strong Satan's Angels biker gang, based in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and on Vancouver Island, to "patch over" to join the Hells Angels. On 17 July 1983, two Hells Angels from Montreal, Michel "Jinx" Genest and Jean-Marc Nadeau, went via bus to Vancouver to attend the planned ceremony. On route through northern Ontario, Parente and a group of Outlaws happened to ride by the bus and noticed one of the bus passengers was wearing Hells Angels' colors. Parente was riding on Highway 17 outside of North Bay when he noticed a jacket bearing the Hells Angels' patch pressed against the window of the bus. Sending one of the bikers to follow the bus, Parente and the rest stopped in Sault Ste. Marie to pick up their guns and then boarded an automobile. Enraged by the presence of the two Hells Angels in Ontario, Parente and the other Outlaws proceeded to shoot up the bus when it stopped at the Mr. Mugs coffee and doughnut shop in Wawa in an attempt to kill the two Hells Angels.A Ford Taurus automobile pulled into the Mr. Mugs parking lot and the men in the car pulled out their handguns to open fire on the bus. Three people were slightly hurt by the broken glass. As the car drove away, two of the witnesses noticed it had a "Support Your Local Outlaws" bumper sticker. Through no one was killed, the Wawa incident showed strongly Parente felt about Hells Angels moving into Ontario. Later that day, the police arrested Parente and his fellow Outlaws Roy Caja and Ben Greco at the Outlaws' Sault St. Marie clubhouse and charged them with attempted murder. Parente insists that he was not present at the Wawa incident, but a number of sources have stated he was one of the gunmen in the car. While waiting trial for the Wawa incident, Parente was arrested again for killing the "local tough guy" Jimmy Lewis.Parente worked as a bouncer at a well known Hamilton strip club named Bannister's. Bannister's was owned by Rinaldo Ticchiarelli and Louis Acciaroli, two cocaine dealers who used the establishment as a place to launder money. The police were looking to shut down Bannister's by vigorously enforcing a by-law that stated that any bar that admitted intoxicated patrons would lose its liquor license, thus leading to Parente being strict about who he admitted into Bannister's. Parente had a long-standing feud with the three Lewis brothers, frequently quarreling with them. The Lewis brothers were Tim, Brian and Jimmy. The Lewis brothers were petty criminals who worked as general laborers by day and by night made their living by extorting money via threats and violence. One night in 1984, Brian Lewis had shown up drunk at Bannister's, leading to a fight when Parente refused him to allow him in.After Bannister's closed, Parente went to the Outlaws' clubhouse at 402 Birch Avenue. According to Parente's account, the three Lewis brothers together with five other friends were looking for him and arrived at the Outlaws' clubhouse with Tim Lewis waving about a handgun while somebody kept shouting "shoot him!". Parente stated he brought along his shotgun in case of trouble. Parente insists that he shot Jimmy Lewis in self-defense. According to Parente's account, he opened fire when Tim Lewis raised his handgun and his target was actually Tim Lewis, not Jimmy Lewis. Jimmy Lewis was killed instantly by the shotgun blast, which caused the rest of the gang to run away in terror. Parente was arrested later that night at a house of a friend in St. Catharines.At his trial for the Wawa incident in Sault Ste. Marie, Parente pleaded guilty to the illegal possession of a weapon and was sentenced to six years in prison. Parente was shocked by the sentence, but learned the judge had imposed the maximum sentence because of the Lewis shooting incident.. The Hamilton chapter of the Outlaws planned to kill Stadnick by firing a rocket launcher at the Rebel Roadhouse, where he had his office, but the Hamilton police arrested those involved in the plan before any rockets were fired. Detective Harris stated about the failed plot: "When Parente was running the show, they would had done it; but after he went to prison they didn't have the guts". At his trial for Lewis's death in 1988, Parente was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 30 months in prison. Another source states that he received 3 years in prison for Lewis's death.The Crown Attorney, Tony Skarica, had indicted Parente for second degree murder, but the judge at the trial, Justice Thomas Callon, accepted the claims of Parente's lawyer that he acted in self-defense. Callon ruled that Parente had "reacted to a serious threat of personal harm to him that included the possibility of death". After Parente's release from prison, Brian Lewis later showed at a bar to confront Parente for killing his brother, leading to Parente to beat him up and expel him. Brian Lewis accidentally killed himself at a party when he was quite intoxicated and pointed his handgun at his head, saying "you wanna know what I'm going to do to Mike the Wop? This is what I'm gonna to do to Mike the Wop!" Lewis then pulled the trigger, sending a bullet straight through his brain. The final Lewis brother, Tim, was killed in an automobile accident.On 28 November 1992, Parente's then girlfriend, Linda DeMaria, was the target of an assassination attempt; the police believe that the bullets fired at her might have been meant for him. DeMaria was returning from a party with <mask> and several other friends. She had just parked her car in the driveway of <mask>'s house at about 2:00 am and was getting out of the vehicle when she was shot once in the lower back. The bullet fired from a 9mm handgun struck just above her pelvis and left via her abdomen, and she was rushed to the hospital where her life was saved. The police described <mask> and the other members of the group who witnessed the shooting as "co-operative up to a point". In 1992, Parente was accused of laundering money for the Mafia in connection with an Italian-born businessman, Vincenzo "Jimmy" DeMaria, but <mask> and DeMaria were able to prove a legitimate source for the money. In June 1993, Stadnick and the other Hells Angels leaders hosted a party in Wasaga Beach attended by the leaders of all the Ontario biker gangs except for the Outlaws and Satan's Choice.One police officer stated: "We knew that if he [Stadnick] had invited the Outlaws-especially Parente-then there would be no war in Ontario. But when they weren't there, it kind of made us a little uneasy". On 29 April 1996, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) launched Project Charlie, a crackdown on the Outlaws and a warrant was issued for Parente's arrest. Parente was arrested at the clubhouse of the St. Catharines chapter of the Outlaws. He was charged with conspiracy to sell cocaine and uttering death threats. As part of Project Charlie, nine other members of the St. Catharines chapter were charged with various counts relating to narcotics, prostitution, and attempted murder. On 10 July 1996, Parente was attacked in the Hamilton-Wentworth Jail by an inmate just arrived from Montreal who assaulted him with a crude home-made knife fashioned out of a tooth brush.Parente was able to fight off his attacker, suffering superficial injuries to his eyes and throat. Following the outlaw biker code, Parente refused to testify against his attacker. The Crown offered to drop the charges relating to Project Charlie in exchange for him turning Crown's
