He scored 6 goals in 28 matches for Everton in the 1999–2000 season. <mask> started the 2000–01 season brightly, but his season was cut short with multiple ankle and shoulder injuries.When he did feature, he performed well, and his goal to game ratio was the best at the club that season. This earned <mask> a new contract offer from the club. However, after months of negotiations, <mask> informed the club he was rejecting the new contract. Arsenal
His performances had caught the eye of Arsène Wenger, and <mask> signed for Arsenal on 14 June 2001 for an initial £8 million fee, with another £2 million dependent on appearances. However, <mask> did not live up to the "fox in the box" tag, and his time at Arsenal was dogged by injury. He was forced out of the team by the form of fellow strikers like Thierry Henry and Sylvain Wiltord. Arsenal won the FA Cup in 2002 and 2003 but <mask> was left out of both match day squads, the latter due to injury.He contributed to their 2003 triumph by scoring three goals en route to the final; two against Farnborough and one against Chelsea. He also started the semi-final against Sheffield United. Arsenal also won the 2001–02 Premier League title, but <mask> only made six league appearances that season. He was an unused substitute on the day Arsenal clinched the title against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Ipswich went on to win 5–2. He returned to Blackburn after suffering a hamstring injury against Southend United, but having made a quick recovery, he was allowed to return to Ipswich on loan until the end of the 2006–07 season.

<mask> (8 January 1925 – 15 October 2012) is best known as an English potter and for her work with the Arts Dyslexia Trust. Early life and education
She was born <mask> in Calcutta    (Kolkata). Her father was a wine merchant with an interest in sport and natural history, while her mother was proficient in dress making and craft works. <mask> and her elder sister Diana were brought to England and pursued their schooling at Maltman's Green School, Gerrard's Cross. At Maltman's, she became good friends with Sylvia Priestly, and the two were given their own studio in one of the school turrets. <mask> completed her education at the Royal College of Art, under Professor of Sculpture Frank Dobson and John Skeaping, winning Associateship, a fourth year scholarship and the RCA Life Drawing Prize, the first time this had ever been won by a Sculpture School student. Richard Parkinson Ltd
After her marriage to <mask> (1927–1985) and a summer working for Harry Davis at the Crowan Pottery, Cornwall, <mask> and Richard set up Richard Parkinson Ltd., generally referred to as the "Parkinson Pottery".In the stables and oast house of the home at Brabourne Lees, Kent, of <mask>'s sister and her husband Alick, Richard's primary role was to provide the physical and technical resources, the materials and the workshop facilities, to support <mask>'s creative talents in designing and decorating the company's distinctive pottery ware. Slipcasting in porcelain was the technique used to reproduce <mask>'s sculptures for a mass market. Output ranged from animals (including mice, cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, birds, fish and mythological creatures) to humans (including schoolchildren, judicial figures and classical busts) together with more practical tableware (throwing or moulding primarily by Richard). Highly stylised, distorted, flattened or elongated forms were finished with <mask>'s monochromatic graphic designs achieved with wax resist techniques, brown and later green-black pigments and gloss or matt glazes. At its peak, there were several assistants, production took place around the clock and Parkinson Pottery was being sold not only in British department stores such as Heal's, Liberty, and Dunns of Bromley but across the Atlantic in America. A series of models of contemporary actors designed and made for the Briglin Pottery featured on the 9/10/2011 broadcast of the Antiques Roadshow and can also be seen on the Victoria and Albert Museum web site. One of <mask>'s final pieces for the Pottery was a bust of Sir Winston Churchill who personally approved reproduction of the design.In the early 1960s, a combination of the tragic accidental death of the Parkinsons' talented young model maker and the extreme physical exhaustion involved in running the Pottery lead to financial difficulties and the break up of both the company and the marriage. Although some of the moulds were sold to George Gray at the Cinque Ports Pottery, an officer from HM Customs and Excise insisted on the destruction of stock and moulds in an adjacent field to ensure no further income could be made. Designing and teaching
Teaching life drawing and sculpture at Maidstone School of Art, <mask> accepted several design commissions including film animation (for John Ryan on Captain Pugwash), portraiture, model making, and graphics before taking up a teaching post at Brickwall House, Northiam (now Frewen College). In over twenty years in charge of art at the school, she was able to develop her theories on the connection between dyslexia and above average gifts of visual-spatial ability. Artist Dyslexia Trust (ADT)
Upon retiring from teaching in 1985, <mask> worked on an Open University degree before setting up the Arts Dyslexia Trust as a registered charity with two other members of the Brickwall teaching staff. In 1994, after a trial ADT exhibition at Carmel College, Oxford she organised the first major exhibition of work by artists with dyslexia at the Mall Galleries, London. <mask> became Registered Secretary and CEO of the Trust and for 25 years, the ADT has pursued its objectives through research and education in "focusing on the visual-spatial abilities as demonstrated in the work of talented dyslexics".The Gallery on the ADT web site is a testament to the success of <mask> and her colleagues. Later life
An article in Crafts, the Crafts Council magazine in 2001 brought <mask>'s ceramic work to new audiences. In 2004, an exhibition of her designs at the Gary Grant Gallery, London coincided with the publication of the book <mask> and the Richard Parkinson Pottery by Carol Cashmore and Tim Smith-Vincent. Cataract operations in 2011 were successful, but the eyesight problems meant that <mask> had to give up driving. As her mobility became more restricted, <mask>'s living room became the hub of ADT activities. <mask>'s life was not only about art and dyslexia: she was fanatical about sport, an avid TV watcher of tennis, golf, cricket and snooker. Since March 2011, <mask> had been collaborating on the design of a web site celebrating her life and work.A fall at home and a brief spell in hospital, <mask> died on 15 October 2012, just days before the 25th birthday party of the ADT which she had been organising at the National Gallery.

Cincinnati
Cincinnati, while having a rich history, had fallen on hard times. Cincinnati appeared in 5 consecutive Final Fours from 1959 to 1963—and won the national championship in 1961 and 1962. By 1989, when <mask> was hired, though, the Bearcats had not earned a bid to the NCAA tournament since 1977.Even worse, Cincinnati had only one winning conference record in those 12 previous seasons. The Bearcats were invited to the NIT his first two years and then advanced all the way to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament in 1992, <mask>' third season as coach. Overall, <mask> compiled a 399–127 record (.759) in his 16 years at Cincinnati, making him the winningest basketball coach in the school's history. <mask> directed Cincinnati to ten conference regular-season titles and eight league tournament titles. The Bearcats appeared in post-season play in each of <mask>' 16 seasons.

His teams won five consecutive conference tournament titles—all four Great Midwest Conference titles from 1992 to 1995 and the first Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament in 1996. He was named co-national coach of the year by The Sporting News and was Basketball Times' national coach of the year in 1997–98. He earned national coach of the year recognition from Hoop Scoop in 1991–92 and Playboy in 1992–93. During his tenure, <mask> coached three consensus All-Americans: Danny Fortson, Kenyon Martin (the consensus player of the year in 1999–2000) and Steve Logan.

They received a 7 seed in the tournament and lost to eventual Elite Eight participant Kentucky in the second round at the RCA Dome in nearby Indianapolis. Resignation
On August 23, 2005, UC President Nancy L. Zimpher gave <mask> an ultimatum: resign and take a $3 million buyout, or be reassigned outside the athletic department for the balance of his contract. Had <mask> not responded within 24 hours, he would have been fired. <mask> had untruthfully told the press he didn't know about the ultimatum until numerous reporters called him in Las Vegas. However, multiple correspondence between UC and <mask>' attorney showed that not only had the parties been negotiating his termination, <mask> knew weeks in advance his termination was imminent. He ultimately agreed to accept the $3 million buyout.Zimpher said that the Bearcat program under <mask> didn't fit with her plan to upgrade UC's academic reputation. However, she'd been seriously considering ousting <mask> since he was arrested for driving under the influence in 2004. He ultimately pleaded no contest to DUI. According to The Wall Street Journal, Zimpher was particularly upset that news of the arrest broke on the morning of her first graduation as UC's president, at which Coretta Scott King was due to be the speaker. <mask> didn't help his image with Zimpher when an assistant coach, two players and a recruit were arrested in the spring of 2005. At the time, <mask>' contract had a rollover clause which added a year every summer. Zimpher revoked that clause on June 11, 2004 after his no-contest plea, but allowed <mask> to return for the 2004–05 basketball season.On May 11, 2005, he was given the option of leaving or finishing the last two years remaining on his contract. In a May 16, 2005 press conference, <mask> announced that he was staying until his contract expired on June 30, 2007, thus agreeing to the terms originally offered to him by UC. <mask> was replaced by assistant head coach Andy Kennedy. Kansas State
After spending a year out of the coaching profession, on March 23, 2006, <mask> accepted the head coaching job at Kansas State University, replacing the fired Jim Wooldridge. The Wildcats had not been to the NCAA tournament since the 1995–1996 campaign and had not had a conference record better than 7–9 since the Big 12 Conference was formed in 1996. The previous three Kansas State basketball coaches (Dana Altman, Tom Asbury, and Wooldridge) had combined for a 236–232 () record. In his sole season at Kansas State, <mask> coached the Wildcats to a 23–12 overall record, and a 10–6 Big 12 record.The Wildcats were not invited to the NCAA tournament  but accepted an NIT bid and won one game. Some of <mask>' recruiting targets included consensus top 10 players in O. J. Mayo, Bill Walker, as well as consensus top 100 recruits such as Herb Pope, Ramar Smith, and Jason Bennett. While Mayo, Pope, and Smith all ended up at other schools, <mask> was able to bring in Bennett for the 2006–07 season and Walker—initially slated to join the team for the 2007–08 season, managed to graduate from North College Hill High School early to participate in time for the spring semester. <mask>' second recruiting class was rated even better. The key recruit was consensus top 5 player Michael Beasley out of the Washington, D.C. area. Other recruits in the 2007 class included Walker, Dominique Sutton—a 6'4" swingman out of Durham, North Carolina--Jacob Pullen—a 6'1" point guard from Proviso East High School— and Fred Brown, a 6'2" shooting guard from West Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to the Huggins' recruits, Kansas State had returned 4 of its top 5 scorers including 2nd team All-Big 12 Conference member Cartier Martin and Honorable All-Big 12 member David Hoskins.The 2005–06 team had been involved in many close games, going 7–9 in games decided by 5 points or less during the season. The Wildcats were picked to finish as high as 5th in the Big 12,. Prior to that season, Kansas State had never finished higher than 7th place in the Big 12. The early part of the season got off to a rocky start as the Wildcats started the year 4–3 which included losses to the New Mexico Lobos and California Golden Bears by a combined 54 points. The Wildcats would ultimately benefit from the eligibility of Bill Walker and won six straight games, including a tournament victory in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic. The Wildcats would soon hit another rough patch as they lost three straight games to Xavier, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. Even more damaging was the loss of star freshman Bill Walker when he tore his ACL five minutes into a 69–65 loss to Texas A&M.After the Walker injury, seniors Martin, Lance Harris and Akeem Wright stepped up their game and led Kansas State to a 7-game winning streak which included a win over the ranked Texas Longhorns in Austin that broke a 22-game Texas home winning streak. The 2nd half of Big 12 play saw the Wildcats go 4–4 including a pair of losses to its in-state rival the Kansas Jayhawks. Kansas State ended the Big 12 season in the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament losing to Kansas for a third time, but did pick up a crucial 66–45 win over Texas Tech. The Wildcats received a NIT bid and went 1–1 beating Vermont and losing to DePaul. Kansas State ended the season 23–12 (10–6)--the most victories from a Wildcat team since 1987–1988, a year that saw them lose to the Kansas Jayhawks in the Elite Eight of the 1988 NCAA Tournament. West Virginia

On April 5, 2007, <mask> announced that he had accepted the position of head coach at his alma mater, West Virginia University. <mask> succeeded John Beilein who left to fill the same position with the Michigan Wolverines.Only nine games into the 2007–2008 season, the Mountaineers entered the AP Top 25 poll carrying a #24 ranking with an 8–1 record. On December 22, 2007 <mask> achieved his 600th victory as a head coach in a road game at Canisius. The Mountaineers finished the regular season with an 83–74 overtime victory over St. John's, then opened the Big East Tournament with a 58–53 victory over Providence.

 Classic, defeating Long Beach State in the quarterfinals, Texas A&M in the semi-finals, and Portland in the championship round. The Mountaineers defeated a total of seven NCAA Tournament teams throughout the season, including out-of-conference victories over aforementioned Texas A&M and Ohio State. <mask>' Mountaineers split the annual Backyard Brawl with Pitt, with each team winning on their home court. WVU finished the regular season with a 24–6 (13–5) record, tied for second (with No. 9 Villanova and No. 18 Pitt) in the Big East, behind only No. 4 Syracuse.This was WVU's highest regular season finish in their seventeen year Big East tenure (1995-2012). The Mountaineers received a double-bye into the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament. WVU subsequently defeated Cincinnati, Notre Dame in the semi-finals, and the Georgetown Hoyas in the championship game to win their first and only Big East Tournament title. WVU received a #2 seed (their highest ever) in the NCAA Tournament in the East Region. <mask>' squad defeated #15 seed Morgan State in their First Round match-up, #10 seed Missouri in the second round, and the #11 seed Washington Huskies in the Sweet 16 round. This set the stage for an Elite Eight match-up between the Mountaineers and the #1 seed Kentucky Wildcats, coached by <mask>' long-time friend, John Calipari. In a hard-fought, back-and-forth contest, WVU ultimately persevered in a 73–66 victory which sent the Mountaineers to their second Final Four in school history.On April 3, 2010, Duke, the #1 seed from the South, and the Mountaineers squared off in the second of the Final Four games. Duke showed its full potential in the game, hitting 52.7 percent of its shots (and 52 percent of its three-pointers) while shredding West Virginia's 1–3–1 zone trap. Duke led 39–31 at the half and maintained its red-hot shooting in the second half. After WVU lost star forward Da'Sean Butler, a Wooden award finalist, to a devastating knee injury, the defining play of the game came when Nolan Smith missed a contested, fast-break layup, but Kyle Singler and Miles Plumlee combined to slam home the rebound to give Duke a 14-point lead. Despite the Final Four loss, WVU finished their season with a 31–7 record, and ranked #3 in the final Coaches' Poll, and #6 in the AP Poll. After earning just the second Final Four appearance in school history, <mask> entered WVU's 2010-11 season with more modest but still notable expectations. The Mountaineers were predicted to finish fifth out of sixteen in the regular season standings, behind Pitt, Villanova, Syracuse, and Georgetown.Forward junior Kevin Jones was also named to the 2010-11 Preseason All-Big East First Team. West Virginia opened nonconfernece play with an 8-2 record, with losses coming to Minnesota in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off championship game and at Miami. Despite starting 0-2 in conference play with losses to St. John's and Marquette, the Mountaineers rebounded to win seven of their next nine games, including wins over No. 13 Georgetown, and a nonconference matchup over No. 8 Perdue. However, then No. 21 WVU did lose their annual matchup with in-state Marshall in the Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic, in what would prove to be the Thundering Herd's only victory over a ranked opponent that season.It would also prove to be <mask>' only loss to Marshall during his ten meetings as Mountaineers' coach. <mask> later disputed the characterization of the matchup as a "rivalry" and mocked the notion that he was afraid of playing Marshall in subsequent years. The Mountaineers began February and the second half of their conference slate sitting at 15-6 (6-3). However, West Virginia faced top 25 teams in seven of their nine final regular season matchups, and went 5-4 in games from February 5 to March 5, 2011. This stretch was highlighted by losses (at No. 12 Villanova, No. 4 Pitt, at No.20 Syracuse, and at No. 6 Pitt) and some notable wins (No. 7 Notre Dame, No. 16 Uconn, and No. 11 Lousiville). After a quick exit in the second round of the Big East Tournament to Marquette, the Mountaineers earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament where they were seeded #5 and beat #11 seed Clemson in the second round. After the victory over the Tigers, <mask> and the Mountaineers found themselves matched up against John Calipiri and #4 seed / No.11 Kentucky for the second straight tournament. West Virginia, which reached the Final Four a year prior by beating Kentucky in the regional final, led 41-33 after closing the opening half on a 22-7 run. But Kentucky scored the first 11 points coming out of the break and wore down the Mountaineers, winning 71-63. Calipiri and the Wildcats would later beat Ohio State and North Carolina before losing to the eventual champion UConn in the Final Four. On December 22, 2011, <mask> reached his 700th career victory by defeating Missouri State, making him one of 4 active coaches in Division I college basketball to have earned more than 700 wins. Following two disappointing seasons, one of which saw WVU make no postseason at all and the other ending with a loss in the first round of the NIT, <mask> and the Mountaineers bounced back in 2014–15, making the Sweet Sixteen before bowing out to Kentucky, who was the #1 overall seed and undefeated at the time. In 2015-16, the team got off to a 15–1 start, including a 4–0 mark in the Big 12 and climbed as high as #6 in the AP Poll following a win over #1 Kansas.The Mountaineers were ranked for the final 16 weeks in the AP poll. The Mountaineers finished runner-up to the Jayhawks in the Big 12 and made it to the Big 12 Tournament championship game before losing to KU. In the 2016 NCAA Tournament, West Virginia was awarded a 3 seed, but its stay was short-lived as the 14th seeded Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks knocked them off in the first round. Similar to their previous season, WVU raced out to a 15-2 (4-1) start to begin the 2016-17 season, including winning the NIT Season Tip-Off and winning at No. 6 Virginia and at home against No. 1 Baylor. After losing back-to-back games against Oklahoma and Kansas State, WVU — then 15-4 (4-3) — would not lose more than one game in a row for the remainder of the season.The Mountaineers won nine of their final twelve regular season games to finish 24-7 (12-6), and tied for second place heading into the conference tournament. For the second consecutive season, WVU advanced to the Big 12 tournament championship game before losing to Iowa State. WVU earned a 4 seed in the 2017 NCAA Tournament and notched wins against 13 seed Bucknell and 5 seed and 14th ranked Notre Dame to advance to the Sweet 16 for the third time since 2010. WVU’s season ended after 1 seed and No. 2 ranked Gonzaga, who went on to finish as the NCAA runner up, hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with under a minute to play, winning 61-58. After losing to No. 25 Texas A&M in the Armed Forces Classic, WVU began the 2017-18 season with a 15-1 (4-0) record, including winning the AdvoCare Invitational, and notching wins against No.15 Virginia, and No. 7 Oklahoma. The Mountaineers then struggled for the remainder of January, losing five of their next six games, including losses to No. 8 Texas Tech, No. 10 Kansas, and Kentucky. Halfway through conference play, WVU sat at 16-6 (5-4) to begin February. The Mountaineers proceeded to win six of the final nine games of the regular season to finish 22-9 (11-7), and finish in second place in conference play for the third consecutive season.WVU beat Baylor and No. 14 Texas Tech before falling to No. 9 Kansas in the Mountaineers' third straight Big 12 Conference Championship appearance. Earning a 5 seed in the NCAA tournament, West Virginia beat 12 seed Murray State and 13 seed Marshall to advance to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances and their third Sweet 16 in four seasons. The Mountaineers' win over Marshall was notable as the teams used to compete annually in the Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic, and marked the first-ever postseason meeting between the only two Division I men's basketball teams in West Virginia. The Mountaineers' season ended with a loss to 1 seed and 2nd ranked Villanova, who went on to win the national title ten days later. Despite beginning the 2018-19 season ranked No.13, West Virginia opened the season with losses in two of their first three contests before winning seven of their next nine games to sit at 8-4 heading into conference play. West Virginia proceeded to lose eight of their next nine games, with the sole win being a surprise upset over No. 7 Kansas. West Virginia fared only marginally better over the second half of conference play and finished the regular season at 12-19 (4-14), earning last place in Big 12 conference play for the first time ever. Despite finishing last in the conference, the Mountaineers upset Oklahoma and No. 7 Texas Tech to advance to the conference tournament semifinals. This led <mask> to tweet a video of himself -- when he was the head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats -- emerging from a coffin to say, "Why all the long faces?We're not dead yet!". West Virginia lost to No. 17 Kansas in the semifinals the next day. Despite their 14-20 record, the Mountaineers were invited to the College Basketball Invitational, where they beat Grand Canyon in the first round before losing to Coastal Carolina in the quarterfinals. The team's 21 losses were the most in a season in school history. After finishing last place in the Big 12 during the prior year, preseason Big 12 polls picked the Mountaineers to finish 5th in the 2019-20 conference standings and five star recruit Oscar Tshiebwe was selected as the Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year. West Virginia raced out to an 11-1 start through November and December, with their sole loss coming at St. John's.The 11-1 start included winning four contests as part of the Cancún Challenge, and beating No. 2 Ohio State. The Mountaineers continued their success at the beginning of conference play, winning six of their nine first conference games. This included victories over No. 22 Texas Tech and a non conference win over Missouri as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. However, the Mountaineers proceeded to lose six of their next seven conference games, including losses to No. 3 Kansas and at No.1 Baylor. Their sole win over the seven games came against an Oklahoma State team that was 13–12 (3–9) at the time. The losing streak left the Mountaineers at 19-10 (7-9) entering the month of March and at risk of missing the NCAA tournament. However, West Virginia won their final two games, at Iowa State and against No. 4 Baylor, to finish the regular season 21-10 (9-9). This earned the Mountaineers a four-way tie for third place with Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech, and trailing No. 1 Kansas and No.5 Baylor. After tiebreakers, WVU was assigned the sixth seed in the Big 12 Conference tournament against 3 seed Oklahoma. However, the contest was not played due to the sudden arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The NCAA tournament and all postseason play was also cancelled, ending the Mountaineers' season. After finishing the 2019-20 season in a four-way tie for third place, the Mountaineers entered the 2020-21 season selected to finish third, behind only Baylor and Kansas. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a number of non conference games were either postponed or cancelled, including the renewed Backyard Brawl against Pitt. The Mountaineers were also initially scheduled to compete in the 2020 Battle 4 Atlantis alongside perennial heavyweights Duke and Ohio State.However, the early season tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic. As a result, all of the teams, including WVU, were invited to compete in the first annual Crossover Classic at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. As the tournament neared, South Dakota has had among the highest rates of new COVID-19 cases per-capita nationwide. A top draw of the tournament, Duke, immediately took a pass and was replaced by Dayton. The rest of the seven teams originally set to play in the Bahamas: Creighton, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Utah, West Virginia, Wichita State and Memphis reflected a combined 20 Final Fours and 70 Sweet 16 appearances. However, despite promising he would never go to South Dakota, <mask> and the Mountaineers were one of just two "original" teams to compete in the tournament. Creighton, Dayton, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Wichita State, and Utah all dropped out of the tournament prior to the event.In spite of the logistical chaos, WVU beat South Dakota State, VCU, and Western Kentucky in successive days to win the Crossover Classic. The Mountaineers finished an abbreviated non conference schedule at 6-1, with the sole mark coming in a five-point contest against No. 1 Gonzaga in the Jimmy V Classic. Despite their hot start in 2020-21, West Virginia was rocked by Oscar Tshiebwe's sudden announcement on New Year's Day that he was leaving the Mountaineers' program and would not return. Tshiebwe, who was picked as Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year and named to the Second Team All-Big 12 in the prior season, had averaged 8.5 points and 7.8 rebounds through the first 10 games of the 2020-21 season. After Tshiebwe's departure, West Virginia opened conference play by alternating wins (Iowa State, Northeastern, Oklahoma State) and losses (No. 3 Kansas, Oklahoma, and No.4 Texas) before two conference contests were postponed in mid-January due to COVID-19 issues. After trading wins and losses to begin conference play, the Mountaineers won five straight conference games at the end of January and beginning of February, including wins over No. 10 Texas Tech, No. 23 Kansas, and again at No. 7 Texas Tech. This put the Mountaineers at 14-5 (7-3) in mid-February before they dropped a 2OT contest to No. 12 Oklahoma, breaking the Mountaineers' five conference game winning streak.West Virginia finished the remainder of conference play 4-3, to finish the regular season at 18-8 (11-6), or tied for third place behind No. 3 Baylor and No. 12 Kansas. Due to additional coronavirus issues, West Virginia only played regular season winner Baylor in one game, rather than the traditional full conference round robin play, leaving the Mountaineers with 17 conference games, rather than 18. WVU lost in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament to No. 12 Oklahoma State to begin postseason play. Reflecting the strength of the Big 12 and WVU's schedule, the Mountaineers were selected as a 3 seed for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, tied with the 2016-17 season for WVU's second highest ever seeding.On the back of a season-high 30 points from sophomore Miles McBride, West Virginia defeated 14 seed Morehead State in the tournament before losing in a three-point upset to Jim Boeheim's Syracuse Orange in the second round. After the season, McBride declared for the 2021 NBA Draft where he was selected in the second round and quickly traded to the New York Knicks. The Mountaineers' win over Morehead State was also <mask>' 900th career victory. The Mountaineers were selected by coaches to finish fifth (out of tenth) in the Big 12 preseason poll to open the 2021-22 season, behind Kansas, Texas, Baylor, and Texas Tech. West Virginia has opened the season at 4-1, with a win over Pitt in the Backyard Brawl and taking two out of three contests in the Charleston Classic. On November 18, 2021, <mask> earned his 903rd career victory by defeating Elon in the quarterfinals of the Classic, passing <mask> all-time among Division I coaches and tying Roy Williams, who retired in April with the fourth-most wins. Despite a semifinal loss to Marquette in-between, just three days after tying Roy Williams, <mask> passed Williams altogether when the Mountaineers beat Clemson.Upon passing Williams in career wins, <mask> remarked, "I’m not going to quit until I beat Roy in something."

title: Serge Raynaud de la Ferriere

texts:
<mask> (18 January 1916 – 27 December 1962) was a French Initiatic philosopher. He was born in Paris, France, the son of <mask>, who was an engineer, and Virginie Marie Billet. His parents moved to Brussels, Belgium when he was two years old, and his mother died there when he was only five years of age. He studied at several schools, and attended the Université Catholique de Louvain where he graduated as a mining engineer in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. Although he grew up and studied in Belgium he would return to his native France in his early twenties. [he returned to France when he was released from the army, in 1940. This data is registered in the military files.In 1941, he met Louise Baudin to whom he was married in 1944, and with whom he travelled to America, in 1947]. He founded the original Universal Great Brotherhood in 1948 in Caracas, Venezuela that later up today, deformed to have a sectarian nature. Life and education
At an early age, <mask> Ferriere investigated man's relationship with the universe, ancient cultures, linguistics, philosophy, medicine, theology, parapsychology, esoterism and metaphysical studies. During World War II, Dr. <mask> Ferriere returned to France worked as a psychologist and began his research into the sciences of astronomy and astrology. <mask> <mask> Ferrière presented a list of initiatic and academic titles and degrees to his disciples. The Universal Great Brotherhood
As Yoga continued to persist as the central point of his interest, <mask>, without discarding his responsibilities, public activities, or scientific investigations, slowly began to partake in various initiations within the science and ancient tradition of the Great Rishis and Yogis of India and Tibet. During 1944-1947 he composed various scientific organizations and held many conferences where he expounded upon his theories.In 1946, as President of the International Federation of Scientific Societies, he asked the French Government to financially sponsor a research expedition to study the ancient civilizations of South America; his request was denied. In February, 1947, he established The World Organization of Cosmobiology. On November 12, 1947, Dr. <mask> left Europe and traveled to the American Continent. He arrived at New York City and established the first center for the Universal Great Brotherhood. The Universal Great Brotherhood was created as a non-sectarian, and non-religious establishment, and all philosophies, religions, and cultures are studied with impartiality and preference is held towards none. After passing through Guatemala, he arrived in Caracas, Venezuela, on January 17, 1948 with the goal of establishing it the headquarters of the institution. Once the center for the Universal Great Brotherhood in Caracas was well established, Dr. <mask> found a beautiful spot in El Limón, Maracay, in the State of Aragua, Venezuela where he decided to construct an Ashram.Here he gratuitously offered an education to the public which encompassed the study and practice of ancient traditional teachings with the purpose of spiritual, artistic, and mental development. He also established an Initiatic College, Esoteric Center, and Study Center free of charge, as well as a Meditation Center, and Yoga Institute together with Jose Manuel Estrada, co-founder. In Venezuela <mask> met his first and most notable disciples and descendant masters: Jose Manuel Estrada, Juan Victor Mejias and Gil Colmenares ("Elder Brothers"). It is primarily these three disciples who are responsible for establishing the basic principles and structures of the Universal Great Brotherhood, which is a public institution, and the Supreme Order of Aquarius, which is the internal esoteric group that contains several streams and approaches to the establishment of these principles. In 1949, after a stay of 17 months in Venezuela, he traveled to New York to preside over the International Peace Conference held in the month of June. [In New York, he separated from his wife and was taken to court by her, but they never actually got divorced]. From there he departed to Asia through Brussels and France.He established a center for the Universal Great Brotherhood in Algiers, Africa and registered the  Universal Great Brotherhood, Dr. <mask> <mask> la Ferrière Foundation with the United Nations DPI (Department of Public Information) in 1949 and met his disciple David Juan Ferriz Olivares after that by letters. The Universal Great Brotherhood is a member of the United Nations ECOSCOC  (Economic and Social Council) and has Consultative Status as of the year 2000. Pilgrimage
On April 13, 1950, at Hardward India, he attended the Kumbha Mela, a local pilgrimage. He visited Tibet and may have visited the foothills of Mount Kailas. After his visit to the Himalayas, he traveled through Burma, Siam, and other countries of the Far East before arriving in Australia. Titles and Honors
<mask> visited 43 countries establishing the Universal Great Brotherhood and its branches, which include Study Centers of Universal Wisdom, Ashrams, Initiatic Colleges, Institutes for Perfectionment, Yoga Institutes, Social Services, etc., while also giving more than 2,500 lectures and workshops to Universities, Medical Faculties, Rotary Clubs, the Red Cross, The French Alliance, Cultural Center, Public Schools, Churches, Freemasonry Temples, Rosicrucian Chapters as well as Theosophical Society Chapters. [Yet, although he visited many countries, the Brotherhood and some of its ramifications exist in more or less 25 countries, mostly Latin-American, which were not necessarily the ones he visited.For instance, the UGB doesn't exist in the East, and in Europe it only operates in Spain, Italy and Norway]. He was accepted and received everywhere with enthusiasm. He presented a clear and well-balanced teaching, both scientific and metaphysical, neither predominantly orientalist or occidentalist. His teachings were many and varied and included Buddhism, The Bible, Philosophy, Ontology, Geophysics, Cosmobiology, Meta-Astronomy, Medicine, and Hermetic Science. End of Life
Upon returning to Europe he stopped dressing in white, settling down in Nice, France. He began to write The Psychological Proposals, Volumes 1 through 36, with the help of this secretary and partner, Catherine Cucchietti and his 61 circular letters. By this time he had already written the books : The Great Messages, Yug, Yoga Yoghism, Art in The New Age, and The Black Book Of Freemasonry, with black signifying the color of gunpowder.He died in Nice.

<mask>. O'Connor is an American Old Testament scholar and the <mask>ters Professor Emerita of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary. She is widely known for her work in relating trauma and disaster, as well as present-day intercultural and ecumenical issues for biblical studies. Career
O'Connor received a B.A. from the College of New Rochelle (1964), Educational Certification from Mount Saint Mary College (1966), an M.A. from Providence College in Biblical Studies (1973), and a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in Old Testament (1984).She has participated in an interdisciplinary study tour of Israel through Seton Hall University (1974). She was a lecturer of biblical studies and Assistant Chaplain at Providence College (1974-1977) before she spent several years as a Teaching Fellow at Princeton Theological Seminary (1978-1981). After receiving her Ph.D. she became a Professor of Biblical Studies at Maryknoll School of Theology (1982-1994).She then served as Professor of Old Testament Language, Literature, and Exegesis at Columbia Theological Seminary (1995-2004). Beginning in 2005, she took the position of the <mask> <mask>heeters Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary (2005-2010), where she retired and was named Emerita in 2011. The Seminary has named an annual lectureship in her honor. O'Connor has served in a number of professional societies throughout her career. She has served as both President (2008-2009) and Vice President (2007-2008) of the Catholic Biblical Association. She served as a member of Council for the Society of Biblical Literature, through which she was Co-Chair of the Composition of the Book of Jeremiah Group (1991-1998). She has also sat on a number of other committees such as Theology in Global Context Association, North American Coordinating Committee (1986–94) and was the Academic Coordinator and instructor of "Reading the Bible In Context and Across Cultures", Maryknoll Summer Institute (1993).She is currently serving as a doctoral mentor for The Louisville Institute and working on a commentary on the book of Genesis. In May 2016 she is to receive a Distinguished Alumni/ae Award from Princeton Theological Seminary. Thought
O'Connor has published a number of books and articles concerning rigorous study of the Old Testament and how it relates to the world today. In addition to this she has also written and contributed to several biblical commentaries. She has devoted much of her work to trauma and disaster research within the Bible. She is widely known for her publications Jeremiah: Pain and Promise (2012) and Lamentations and the Tears of the World (2002) concerning this field of study. Jeremiah: Pain and Promise is the culmination of six years of work supported by the Henry Luce III Fellowship.She explores the book of Jeremiah as a history and biography  of an ancient community seeking to restore a collapsed society. She seeks to convey her theology that "portrays God as equally afflicted by disaster; and invites a reconstruction of reality and of God's relationship with them". Lamentations and the Tears of the World also explores pain and trauma after the fall of Jerusalem as outlined by the book of Lamentations. For this book she received the first prize in Scripture from the Catholic Press Association (2003). Her other focus is on the role of the church in today's world. She discusses this in Breaking Bread, Building Justice: The Mission of the Church in the World of Hungers (2011). She composed this book with eight scholars and pastors from around the world who focused on the issues of hunger and the "expanding pastoral awareness of the context in which churches minister, and broaden biblical and ethical resources for reflect on the nature of missiology."Honors
 In 2015 Columbia Theological Seminary established the <mask>'Connor Lectures to honor the contributions she has made "to biblical scholarship for the sake of the world."

title: Sabina von Steinbach

texts:
<mask> was – according to legend – a female stonemason living in Alsace (in what is now eastern France) during the 13th century. She is said to have been the daughter of <mask>, architect and master builder at Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, the cathedral in Strasbourg. When after her father's death her brother Johann continued to build the cathedral tower from 1318 to 1339, <mask> is believed to have been employed as a skillful mason and sculptor in its completion. There are, however, strong doubts as to whether she existed. Work
<mask> is traditionally considered responsible for the statues personifying the Church and the Synagogue (both 13th century), which are located near the south portals of the cathedral. The tradition of <mask> as a mason in Strasbourg, constantly cited, appears to have been first published in 1617 Summum Argentoratensivm Templum by Oseas Schadaeus in his description of Strasbourg Cathedral. This understanding may have derived from the interpretation of a – now lost – Latin inscription on a scroll held by the figure of St. John: GRATIA DIVINÆ PIETATIS ADESTO SAVINÆ DE PETRADVRA PERQVAM SVM FACTA FIGURA.It translated: "Thanks to the piety of this woman, <mask>, who has given me form from this hard stone." Women stonemasons
Women were admitted to membership in the majority of the medieval craft guilds, but membership in a guild did not carry with it the right of being apprenticed, although it implied that a female member might share in all its benefits, pious and pecuniary, and in the event of her husband’s death (he being a master) might carry on his trade. This was easily done with the help of a managing journeyman and it is well known that provision was made for the journeyman's promptly acquiring the master’s rights by marrying such a widow. Stonemasons often traveled to distant sites for work that might be decades in construction and would naturally have taken their wives and children with them. <mask>'s employment of his daughter <mask> among the Strasbourg stonemasons was not merely an irregularity perpetrated by a provincial lodge, lax in the proper guild observances. Until the capture of the city by France in 1681, the headquarters of the German stonemasons was in Strasbourg (even as late as 1760 the Strasbourg lodge still claimed tribute from the lodges of Germany). Indeed, American historian Albert Mackey, in his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, cites the theory "which places the organization of the Order of Freemasonry at the building of the Cathedral of Strasbourg, in the year 1275."Some contend that <mask> took over the contract on her father's job at Strasbourg after the master builder died and brought it to completion. Others maintain that she merely assisted her father. Still others maintain that <mask> completed the cathedral by herself, aided by "magic," when other stonemasons refused to work with her. Doubts about the existence of <mask> Von Steinbach

Art historians, over the past few decades, have cast doubt upon the story of <mask> Von Steinback. They base their doubts on a number of discrepancies, including a re-examination of the now lost inscription on scroll held by the figure of St. John, the sculpture attributed to Sabina. Art historian Leslie Ross, in her Artists of the Middle Ages (Greenwood Publishing Group, 2003), argues that <mask>’s story likely was created to further romanticize her supposed father’s story. For while there is no doubt <mask> Steinback did exist, so little is known about him that he, in fact, had to be "discovered".Ross writes:

Erwin's daughter, <mask> <mask>, was also 'discovered' in the nineteenth century. Based on a (now lost) inscription on one of the sculptures on the exterior of the Strasbourg cathedral (naming a 'Savinae'), a nineteenth-century scholar attributed several famous sculptures both on the exterior and interior of the cathedral to the previously unacknowledged but extremely skillful female sculptor, <mask> <mask>, the daughter of Erwin. That the sculptures in question date to a period approximately four decades before Erwin's work at the cathedral was evidently not recognized then or was seen as being not at all problematic. The name of <mask> <mask>bach continues to occur in studies of medieval female artists. Another art historian, Natalie Harris Bluestone, in her Double Vision: Perspectives on Gender and the Visual Arts (Associated University Presses, 1995), further explains the misunderstanding:

The legend of <mask> stems from a misreading and mistranslation of an inscription on the portal, which identifies one '<mask>' as the donor who made it possible for the sculptures to be cut from 'petra dura' or hard (read 'expensive') stone. 'Steinbach' is not a literal translation of 'petra dura' and probably stems from some desire to elaborate the romantic legend that has grown up around the name of the (documented) Erwin. In fact, the style of the pseudo-Sabian figures, Ecclesia and Synagogue, indicates a manufacture of ca.1225, some fifty years before the recorded activity of Erwin and long before his death, which, in the legend provides the occasion for <mask>'s intervention. But she adds:

The truth that inheres in this legend, however, consists in its example of a Western medieval tradition: the woman artist who learns her craft from an artist-father (or some other male relative, such as husband, brother or uncle). In these circumstances, the woman of the artisan class would have had access to such training. Should the male artist die, on occasion the daughter/wife/sister/niece would inherit and run his workshop. Guild records for the late Middle Ages repeatedly describe wives as business partners and specifically allow for them to inherit and take over their deceased husband's craft or trade. References

<mask> (November 23, 1860 – August 22, 1949) was an American professional baseball player whose playing career spanned from 1884 to 1906. He played for 19 seasons as a catcher in Major League Baseball (MLB), including 13 seasons for the Cleveland Blues/Spiders (1887–1899), three seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1900–1902), and one season as the player/manager of the Philadelphia Phillies (1903). <mask> is regarded by some as "the finest defensive catcher of his day." He set Major League catching records for assists (188 in 1890), double plays (16 in 1895), runners caught stealing (183 in 1893), games at catcher (125 in 1890), and career fielding percentage (.943 as of 1896). As one of the game's first every-day catchers, The Sporting News in 1949 called <mask> "baseball's original 'iron man'." Offensively, <mask> had a career batting average of .269, but hit above .300 four times, including a career-high .340 batting average in 1895.

<mask> was also the first president of the Players' Protective Association and a successful entrepreneur during his playing days, including operation of a wholesale and retail cigar business that he promoted while on the road. His most famous business venture, however, was "Zimmer's Baseball Game", a mechanical baseball parlor game that he invented in 1891 and became popular in the early to middle 1890s.Early years
<mask> was born in Marietta, Ohio, in 1860. As a young man, he worked as an apprentice in a cabinetmaker's shop. He began his professional baseball career at age 23 in 1884 playing in the Ohio State League for teams from Ironton and Portsmouth, Ohio. He appeared in eight games in the Major Leagues for the Detroit Wolverines in 1884. After being released by the Tigers, <mask> did not play professional baseball in 1885. He played for Poughkeepsie of the Hudson River League in 1886, compiling a .409 batting average, and for the Rochester Maroons of the International Association in 1887, batting .331.

<mask> acquired the nickname "<mask>" during the 1886 season while playing as the captain of the Poughkeepsie team. <mask> was not of American Indian descent and explained the genesis for the nickname as follows: "Since we were fleet of foot, we were called the Indians.As I was the head man of the Indians, somebody began to call me 'Chief.' It stuck." Major league baseball career

Finest defensive catcher of his day

<mask> is regarded by some as "the finest defensive catcher of his day." Baseball historian Bill James picked <mask> as the catcher both for his 1890s Gold Glove team and his 1890s All-Star team, and as the 62nd best catcher of all time. From 1889 to 1900, <mask> was regularly among his league's leaders in putouts, assists, double plays, fielding percentage and games played at catcher. He set multiple Major League fielding records during his career, including the following:
 Caught stealing. In 1893, <mask> caught 183 base runners trying to steal a base, a figure that established a Major League record that stood until 1895.He led the majors in the category for the second consecutive season with 170 in 1894 and held the career record for most runners caught stealing until 1898.  <mask> secured his reputation for catching base runners when he caught the great base stealer "Sliding Billy" Hamilton twice in one game. Sporting Life at the time reported: "Bennett and <mask> are the only League catchers who have managed to catch Hamilton at second. <mask> is also the only catcher who has nailed Hamilton twice in one game." Games at catcher. <mask> appeared in 125 games at catcher in 1890, a figure that stood until 1895 as the Major League record for most games played at the position in a single season. He also set a Major League record for consecutive games at catcher with 111 during the 1890 season, more than doubling the prior record. He led the National League in games caught for the second consecutive season in 1891 with 116 and ranked second in the league with 111 games at catcher in 1892.The Sporting News in 1949 called <mask> "baseball's original 'iron man'." Prior to <mask>, catchers were typically paired with specific pitchers and did not catch every day. <mask> became one of the Major Leagues' first every-day catchers. Assists. <mask>'s 188 assists as a catcher in 1890 stood as the Major League record until 1912, and he led the majors for a second consecutive season with 181 in 1891. Double plays. <mask>'s 16 doubles plays as a catcher in 1895 broke the Major League record, and in 1900 he also broke Charlie Bennett's Major League record for most career double plays as a catcher.Fielding percentage. By 1896, <mask> also had the highest career fielding percentage (.943) ever compiled by a Major League catcher. <mask> is also credited with being the first catcher, in 1887, to play from a squatting position directly behind the plate on every play. In prior years, catchers had played further behind the plate often standing, particularly with runners on base. During <mask>'s time, catchers' gloves had not evolved and did not provide the protection of a modern catcher's mitt. Interviewed in 1949, <mask> indicated that the catcher's glove in the 1890s was similar to an outfielders glove, and he would occasionally pad it with a piece of beefsteak to further protect his hands from injury. In 1892, when asked how he kept his hands healthy so as to be able to catch in so many games, <mask> also said he received regular hand massages: "He replied that he made it a practice to visit a massage establishment whenever his hands gave him the slightest cause for trouble.He argues that by the systematic rubbing of the joints all swellings and soreness can be remedied instantly." Cleveland Blues/Spiders
After brief stints with the Detroit Wolverines (eight games in 1884) and New York Metropolitans (six games in 1886), <mask> joined the Cleveland Blues in 1887. He remained in Cleveland for 13 seasons from 1887 through 1899. From 1890 to 1898, <mask> was Cy Young's catcher during Young's formative and most dominant years as a pitcher, and the two remained close friends for 60 years. Young's biographer, Reed Browing, noted that Young always credited <mask> for his contributions:
As Young's career progressed, no Major League pitcher was more outspoken than he in expressing how much a fine catcher enhanced his performance on the mound. Young and <mask> quickly became the most famous battery of the 1890s. In 1890, Cleveland finished in seventh place with a 44–88 record; Young, in his rookie season, was 9–7.From the low point in 1890, <mask>, the club and Young all improved remarkably. In 1891, <mask> had a career-high 69 RBIs with a 1.6 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) rating. He caught 116 games in 1891, but underwent knee surgery after the season was over. The following year, in 1892, <mask> compiled a career-high 3.2 WAR rating and led the 1892 Cleveland Spiders to a franchise best record of 93–56 (.624), good for second place in the National League. The 1892 season was also a breakout year for Young who compiled a 36–12 record with a 1.93 earned run average (ERA). After the 1892 season, Sporting Life described <mask> as "a temperate, faithful and conscientious player" who was "a great local favorite" and said this about his ability to deter stolen bases: "His throwing is a holy terror to would-be base stealers, and very few men steal second off him when anything but a slow pitcher is in the box." In 1893, the distance between the pitcher and home plate was extended by nine feet, resulting in a dramatic increase in batting averages.The rule change helped <mask> statistically, as he compiled a .308 batting average, the first of four .300 seasons. However, <mask> bemoaned the rule change's effect on pitchers: "They are making the pitcher a mere automaton. By and by they will make him stand on a cake of ice and pitch. Say what you will, the pitcher is the central figure in the game. People pay their money to see base ball, and the more scientific it is the better. When you put a pitcher out of sight and make a toy of him you are working squarely against the interests of the game, in my opinion." In July 1893, he suffered a broken shoulder bone and was able to play only 56 games behind the plate.The injury was sustained in a collision with Tommy Tucker. Cleveland newspapers protested and claimed that Tucker was a player with a reputation as a habitual dirty player who had acted intentionally to injure <mask>. Despite the severity of the injury, the popular <mask> returned to the lineup in September 1893 after seven weeks' absence, prompting the Sporting Life to predict: "<mask> can play in Cleveland as long as he pleases." In 1894, <mask> became one of the first players to get six hits in a single game, doing so off Win Mercer. In 1895, <mask> had a career-high .340 batting average, as his batting and handling of Young (who compiled a 35–10 record) helped lead the 1895 Cleveland Spiders to the Temple Cup, a championship cup that was awarded to the winner of a best-of-seven, post-season championship series in the National League. <mask> was the batting hero of the 1895 Temple Cup, hitting a two-run home run to win the decisive game. His cup-winning home run was memorialized in a poem that included the following lines:
The score was tied, one man was out,Tebeau was safe on third;As <mask> grasped his mighty bat,Such cheering ne'er was heard.He swiftly swung his willow,The ball had met its fate;And a roar went up that reached the clouds,Tebeau had crossed the plate.In late March 1896, <mask> left the Spiders' spring training camp in a contract dispute, and one week later reportedly signed a contract providing for him to be paid the maximum salary of $2,400 plus an $800 signing bonus. The Sporting Life reported: "If there is one player whose services Mr. Robison(Cleveland owner Frank Robison) cannot afford to lose, it is <mask>. In spring, summer and fall or any old time at all chief is in condition." On September 24, 1896, two masked men armed with revolvers woke <mask> and his wife at their home at 43 Steinway Street in Cleveland. The intruders robbed <mask> of his $60 gold watch and $20 in cash. In 1897, at age 36, <mask> continued to impress. He compiled a .316 batting average and a 1.9 WAR rating while helping
