From 1981 to 1992, <mask> held positions at AT&T including senior engineer, operations manager and strategic planner.<mask> held executive positions at Nortel Networks from 1992 to 2001. As the president of Enterprise Data Networks for Nortel, he managed its US$9.1 billion acquisition of Bay Networks. He also served as the first chief marketing officer of Nortel, launching the global marketing campaigns "Come Together" and "What Do You Want the Internet to Be?" Entrust
From 2001 to 2013, <mask> was the chief executive officer and president of Entrust, a private software company that specializes in identity-based security. <mask> was responsible for the creation and delivery of identity-based security software and services. Entrust grew to profitability (albeit short due to its early focus on growth) and reached annual sales of well over $100 million by the time of arrival of <mask> to the firm in 2001. <mask> shortly thereafter launched a restructuring effort and began to trim workforce annually in an effort to return the company to profitability.He launched a new business model focusing on product portfolios targeted to key verticals and geographies. Spun out of Nortel in 1997, Entrust was a pioneer in public key infrastructure (PKI) technology by providing the first scalable, robust product to offer public key infrastructure for authentication and encryption for web transactions. In April 2002, Entrust's PKI technology served as the foundation for the prototype of what is now the United States Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA), which is a fundamental element of the trust infrastructure that provides the basis for intergovernmental and cross-governmental secure communications. Entrust's PKI is interoperable with all major FBCA vendors. The Entrust Managed PKI service was the first of its kind to deliver certificates utilized by the U.S. Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) smartcard, providing authentication, encryption and digital signature to protect U.S. Federal assets from unauthorized access. Under <mask>’s leadership, Entrust also played a key role in the introduction of ePassports, including for the United States, where certificates are utilized to protect the privacy of the biometrics while authenticating the citizen. <mask> engineered the company's acquisition by private equity firm Thoma Bravo in 2009, and transitioned Entrust into a private firm.In December 2013, it was announced that Datacard Group had entered into an agreement to purchase Entrust for a reported $500 Million. <mask> took on a consultant role during the transition.

As CEO of Silent Circle, <mask> also joined the Board of Directors of Blackphone. On June 17, 2016, Silent Circle blogged that <mask> had resigned as CEO and would remain only as an "advisor," implying he had also resigned his seat on the Board. SonicWall
Formerly a division of Dell Software Inc., SonicWall was spun off and acquired by Francisco Partners and Elliott Management in June 2016. On Nov. 1, 2016, SonicWall announced that it had commenced standalone operations, and named <mask> its President and CEO.SonicWall states it is the North American market share leader in internet security appliances among small and medium-sized enterprises. In August 2016, SonicWall launched its Capture Advanced Threat Prevention Service, and has analyzed more than 4 million suspicious files for its clients as of Nov. 1, 2016. The cloud-based service uses multiple engines to help prevent attacks, and automates remediation techniques. <mask> stated publicly that SonicWall will continue its relationship with Dell, as a reseller partner, and will continue its service areas focused on network security, secure mobile access, email security and encryption, and management and reporting. In a public statement to employees, <mask> stated he wants to focus SonicWall on four areas of growth:
 Next-generation firewall features
 The user interface, user experience and application program interface of its cloud-based globalization management system (GMS)
 The SonicOS software operating system and hardware platforms
 Growing core market segments

In September, 2018 at a SonicWall Channel Partner conference, <mask> outlined the rapid growth in non-standard port threats, and explained a business reorganization to serve both the SME and enterprise business markets focusing on the enterprise verticals of retail, education and government. To help organizations pivot to remain operational during the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020 <mask> introduced SonicWall's Boundless Cybersecurity model designed to secure organizations that are increasingly remote, mobile, and less secure, and empower organizations and businesses to close the growing cybersecurity business and skills gaps. Comodo CA (now Sectigo)
In October 2017, Francisco Partners acquired Comodo Certification Authority (Comodo CA) and named <mask> Chairman of the Board.This marks a transition in ownership from the Comodo organization as Comodo CA, an industry leader in SSL security with more than 200,000 customers across 150 countries, focuses on the significant market opportunity associated with SSL certificates and the massive growth in online and IoT traffic. In November 2018, Comodo CA rebranded itself as Sectigo, to avoid confusion with its former parent entity Comodo Group. As a provider of SSL and other types of digital certificates, Sectico is also heavily invested in PKI. With the new name came a large investment in X.509 certificate management, including the discovery and reporting of certificates issued via PKI but also the automated installation of certificates, which helps saves labor cost while eliminating mistakes made by mis-configured and expired certificates. In 2019, Sectigo was the first commercial CA to delivered automated installation of both Public and Private SSL certificates into web servers and load balancers on both sides of the firewall using ACME (RFC8555), in collaboration with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Sectigo also released industry-first PKI DevOps integrations for management and container orchestration platforms, including Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible and Terraform. In 2020, GI Partners announced a definitive agreement to acquire Sectigo, with the intention of supporting the acceleration of Sectigo’s security innovations and growth and fostering worldwide expansion.Cybersecurity and infrastructure global trends

title: Jacques de Lalaing

texts:
<mask> (1421–1453), perhaps the most renowned knight of Burgundy in the 15th century, was reportedly one of the best medieval tournament fighters of all time. A Walloon knight, he began his military career in the service of Adolph I, Duke of Cleves, but was quickly noticed by Philip III (the Good) Duke of Burgundy by whom he was knighted and who he went on to serve. <mask>, known as the "Bon Chevalier" (Good Knight) due to his military prowess in tournaments and battles, became the most famous Burgundian knight of his time, and was well known throughout Europe as one of the best medieval tournament fighters. <mask> was inducted into the prestigious Burgundian chivalric order, the Order of the Golden Fleece, in 1451. <mask>' deeds in tournaments and battles were recorded in the Livre des Faits de Jacques Lalaing (The Book of the Deeds of <mask>aing) attributed mainly to the Burgundian chroniclers Jean Le Fevre de Saint-Remy, Georges Chastellain, and the herald Charolais. Throughout his life, <mask> was entrusted by the Duke of Burgundy to serve in delegations to the King of France and the Pope, as well as with the suppression of the Revolt of Ghent in 1453. Family and early life

<mask> was born to the prominent Lalaing family in the County of Hainaut, the eldest son of <mask>aing and <mask>requy.<mask> had three brothers: John who was provost of Saint-Lambert's Cathedral in Liege, Philippe who was a godson of Philip the Good, and Antoine who was killed by the Swiss while fighting for the Duke of Burgundy Charles the Bold. <mask> also had a half-brother named John who was the Lord of Haubourdin. Additionally, <mask> had three sisters: Yoland who married the Lord of Brederode and Baron of Holland, Isabeau who married Pierre of Henin-Lietard Lord of Bossu and Great Baron of Hainaut, and Jeanne of Esclaibes who married Philippe of Bourbon, Lord of Ducing. <mask> was the nephew of <mask> <mask> who was the Admiral of Flanders from 1436 to 1462. Simon was also renowned for his military prowess as a knight and was a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece. As a child, <mask> was well-educated since literature was cultivated in Burgundy at the time of his youth. Therefore, he was learned in both Latin and French, and accomplished in literary work.But it was in warlike sports that he excelled the most. At a young age he went to the court of Philip the Good to serve and eventually become a knight. In 1436, he was sent by the Duke of Burgundy with 600 fighters to serve the King of France under the command of Marshal <mask> Villiers <mask>'Isle-Adam. His life—a model of medieval chivalry

By the age of 20, <mask> had distinguished himself at a number of tournaments. On 22 November 1443 he accompanied Philip the Good's forces in a surprise assault on the city of Luxembourg where he "accomplished many magnificent feats of arms with both the lance and the sword." Two years later in 1445, <mask> took part in a tournament in Nancy, Lorraine, France, where there were assembled King Charles VII of France, King Alfonso V of Aragon, and the nobility of France. <mask> performed spectacularly and was victorious over all of the knights with whom he did combat.For this success, he not only gained further celebrity status but received many material rewards. Also in 1445, <mask> began his famous Feats of Arms. In these, he and another knight would fight a pre-arranged duel in full armor with sharpened weapons. The participants decided the rules of combat beforehand. Fighting typically included three courses each: with the lance on horseback, the sword on horseback, and the spear, poleaxe, sword, or dagger on foot. Sometimes these fights simply went on until one combatant was on the ground. <mask>' first feat of arms was against an Italian knight named <mask> Boniface from the court of King Alfonso V of Aragon.Jean had traveled through Lombardy, Savoy, Burgundy, and Flanders, seeking to distinguish himself in combat. Upon his arrival in Antwerp he made it known that he would take on all comers in combat. <mask> accepted this challenge and beat him. The example of <mask> Boniface made a strong impression on <mask>, and in 1446 he decided to take up the profession of knight-errant, traveling from court to court with his entourage of 80 to 100 men-at-arms searching for opportunities to gain fighting acclaim. Traveling to France, and then to Navarre and Castile, <mask> sought combat with whoever would fight. Unfortunately, both King Charles VII of France and King John II of Navarre denied him permission to fight, probably because they did not want to spend money on an expensive tournament. However, after riding through Spain and Portugal, he was given the chance to fight in Valladolid on 3 February 1447, when King John II of Castile allowed him to fight <mask> Guzman, the son of the Grandmaster of the Spanish Order of Calatrava.Combat began on foot, and <mask> was so successful in beating his rival that the mounted combat never took place. On his way back home to Hainault, <mask> stopped in Aragon but was refused permission to fight yet again. In 1449, <mask> traveled to Stirling, Scotland, to fight against members of the Douglas clan at the court of King James II of Scotland. A combat of six took place, with <mask> fighting alongside his uncle <mask> Lalaing and a squire from Brittany named Herve <mask>. Their opponents were James Douglas the brother of the Earl of Douglas, another James Douglas, and John Ross of Halket. The audience numbered five or six thousand. <mask>' side was victorious.After the victory in Scotland, <mask> and his companions traveled to England where they were denied permission to fight by King Henry VI of England. But shortly before his departure to return home, <mask> was challenged by an English squire named Thomas Que to fight in Burgundy. This combat took place later in 1449 in Bruges, Flanders with the Duke of Burgundy as referee. While initially Thomas' poleaxe was disqualified due to its being oversized and oversharp, he pleaded so persistently that <mask> allowed its use. During combat, Jacque was stabbed through the wrist by Thomas' poleaxe, but went on to win the combat anyway. Later, on that same day, <mask> announced his intention to raise a pavilion and have a pas d'armes (passage of arms). He desired to take on all comers for a set time period, specifically on the first day of every month for a year.<mask>' pas d'armes challenge was officially known as the Passage of the Fountain of Tears. This was due to the pavilion being next to a fountain with a statue of a weeping woman. In keeping with this theme, <mask> fought in a white surcoat decorated with a pattern of blue tears. The reason given for having this pas d'armes was that <mask> wanted to fight 30 men before his 30th birthday. It lasted from 1 November 1449 to 30 September 1450. No one was willing to accept <mask>' challenge until 1 February 1450. This challenger was a Burgundian squire named <mask> Chandio.The fighting took place in Chalons, France, on a small island in the middle of the Saône River. It began with a great ceremony, although the combat was uneventful as <mask> won handily over Pierre. In March, Sir <mask> Boniface who <mask> had beaten previously, returned to challenge him. The first day's combat was inconclusive, but during the second day's combat <mask> was able to again beat Jean. In June, a Burgundian squire named <mask> Roussillon accepted the challenge. <mask> quickly won this combat. On 1 October 1450, seven noblemen accepted the challenge.The first was a squire named <mask>, lord of Saint-Bonnet. The second was Aime <mask>, lord of Espiry. The third was a squire named <mask> Villeneuve. The fourth was named Gaspar <mask>in. The fifth was <mask>'Avanchier. The sixth was a Burgundian squire named Guillaume d'Amange. And the seventh was a squire named Jean Pitois.Combat began on the next day. While initially several of these bouts were draws, <mask> would go on to win against all comers. As the pas d'armes ended, <mask> remained undefeated, winning great renown. Afterward he made a pilgrimage to Rome, returning in triumph to the court of Philip the Good. As a reward for his valor, <mask> was then admitted into the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1451 in the town of Mons. On his pilgrimage to Rome in 1450, <mask>, like a medieval chivalrous knight of old, "like another Lancelot," stayed at Chalons on the Marne and crossed lances with anyone who would fight him on the road. In 1452, <mask> jousted against Charles, Count of Charolais, who would go on to be Duke of Burgundy Charles the Bold in 1467.This was Charles' first jousting tournament. In the first joust <mask> broke his lance upon the Count but did not unhorse him. In the second joust, both broke their lances upon each other, yet both stayed in the saddle. Philip the Good considered it a good match and delightfully ended the bout. The Count would go on to win the prize of the tournament. This was the last tournament that <mask> would participate in since war broke out soon afterward. Throughout his life, <mask> displayed all the main elements of what was considered to be the perfect medieval chivalrous knight.His military prowess was unmatched, he came from a respected and noble family, at a young age his frank bearing was noticeable, throughout his life he showed great loyalty to his lord the Duke of Burgundy, as a young man he was known to be a favorite of the ladies at court, his largesse was evident after his victories, and his religious piety was shown by such actions as his pilgrimage to Rome in 1450. He truly seems to have been the culmination of medieval chivalric ideals. Death

<mask> was killed in battle during the Revolt of Ghent on 3 July 1453, fighting for Philip the Good. While minor details differ, it appears that he was killed by cannon fire from defenders of Poucques Castle. He is one of the first European noblemen to die from gunfire. <mask> is therefore a transitional character, the last great member of a chivalrous era destroyed by an element of changing modern times. Philip the Good was so furious at the death of his favorite knight <mask> that when the Poucques Castle was taken he had all those captured in it hanged, priests, lepers and children excepted.<mask> was buried in the church of Lalaing. Before the French Revolution an epitaph to <mask> was in the Notre Dame Cathedral. References

2012 season
During the 2011 season, San Jose State found itself without a viable future starting quarterback after Tate Forcier, who was redshirting a year after transferring from Michigan, withdrew from San Jose State. Recruiting coordinator Terry Malley suggested recruiting <mask>, and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo met with Fales at Monterey Peninsula College.DeFilippo would later comment about <mask>: "They did a great job with him at MPC. They ran a similar offense to what we had, a pro style. So I knew the learning curve wouldn't be as steep as with a guy coming from the spread offense." In December 2011, <mask> signed a letter of intent for San Jose State University. The FCS school Indiana State University also offered <mask> a scholarship. On August 23, 2012, following summer training camps, coach Mike MacIntyre named <mask> the starting quarterback. <mask> debuted for San Jose State on August 31 against Stanford.In San Jose State's 20–17 loss, <mask> completed 24 for 35 passes for 216 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

title: Amanda Conner

texts:
<mask> is an American comics artist and commercial art illustrator. She began her career in the late 1980s for Archie Comics and Marvel Comics, before moving on to contribute work for Claypool Comics' Soulsearchers and Company and Harris Comics' Vampirella in the 1990s. Her 2000s work includes Mad magazine, and such DC Comics characters as Harley Quinn, Power Girl, Atlee. Her other published work includes illustrations for The New York Times and Revolver magazine, advertising work for products such as Arm & Hammer, Playskool, design work for ABC's Nightline, and commercials for A&E's Biography magazine. Early life
<mask> studied at The Kubert School in Dover, New Jersey. She names as influences Joe Kubert, for teaching his students to compose pages as if they were to be devoid of any dialogue or word balloons, and Frank Miller for his pacing and his ability to create tension and intense action and reactions. Career

<mask> worked at a color separation company, which handled comics coloring prior to the industry adoption of computer programs such as Photoshop.She subsequently worked in a comic book store. At the time she lived a little over an hour from New York City, and on her days off, would travel to New York City with her father, and use his office at the advertising industry where he worked as a home base from which to call editors at Marvel Comics and DC Comics to request a portfolio review. When granted these interviews, she was told that she had potential, but needed to work on her art more. At this same time she became acquainted with professional artists through her work at the comic shop, and answered an advertisement by artist Bill Sienkiewicz, who was seeking an assistant. She took the job, which became her first comics work, while continuing to show her portfolio to editors at Marvel and DC. She also illustrated storyboards for the advertising industry. After about her sixth or seventh time showing her portfolio, Marvel editor Greg Wright gave <mask> her first illustration assignment, an 11-page Yellowjacket back-up story in Solo Avengers #12 (November 1988).Her other early work includes Excalibur and Suburban Jersey Ninja She-Devils for Marvel, Strip AIDS U.S.A. for Last Gasp in 1988, and Archie and The Adventures of Bayou Billy stories for Archie Comics in 1989-90. During this time, she worked with Marvel editor and artist Jimmy Palmiotti (now her husband), who often inks over <mask>'s pencils. From 1993–1994 she penciled issues #1–10 of Peter David and Richard Howell's creator-owned series, Soulsearchers and Company, which was published by Claypool Comics. In 1994 she penciled Barbie Fashion #43, a Marvel Comics title that was licensed from the Mattel doll. That same year she did her first Vampirella work with Vengeance of Vampirella, a mini-comic that was bundled with an issue of Wizard magazine. The following year she pencilled issues 2 - 11  of Marvel's Gargoyles, which was based on the Disney animated television series of the same name. In 1996 she pencilled Kid Death & Fluffy Spring Break Special #1 for Topps Comics and Tomoe #3 for Billy Tucci's Crusade Comics.She also returned to Vampirella with Harris' Vampirella Lives #1–3, which teamed her with writer Warren Ellis. In 1997 she illustrated the intercompany crossover Painkiller Jane vs. The Darkness for Event Comics. It was in working on this book that <mask> says that she found her niche in the industry, explaining that the licensed characters she had previously worked on, particularly Barbie and Vampirella (the latter of which she stresses she nonetheless enjoyed for the writers she worked with) had narrow emotional ranges, which limited the facial expressions she was able to render. On PKJ v. the Darkness she discovered that it was possible to render material of a dark tone that incorporated black humor. <mask> returned to Painkiller Jane with a #0 issue, which recounted the character's origin. Her other comic book credits include Lois Lane, Codename: Knockout, and Birds of Prey for DC Comics, as well as Two-Step with writer Warren Ellis for the Cliffhanger!imprint of WildStorm Comics (owned by DC Comics); X-Men Unlimited for Marvel; Gatecrasher, which she co-created for Black Bull Comics; and The Pro, a creator-owned book for Image Comics with Palmiotti and Garth Ennis. In 2005, she illustrated the origin of Power Girl in JSA Classified #1-4. She also penciled a Blade comic to go with the special DVD edition. Her art has appeared on ABC'S Nightline, and in The New York Times and MAD magazine.

In 2012–2013, <mask> drew the Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre limited series which she co-wrote with Darwyn Cooke. Cooke had insisted on having <mask> as a collaborator on the series, stating that "I knew I had something to say about Laurie, and I needed somebody to collaborate with who could help realize it. The only person I know alive that could do that was <mask>. So I kind of made it a fuck-or-walk situation, you know? [Laughs.] 'We get <mask>, or I can’t do this.'So that made it incumbent upon [DC co-publisher] Dan [DiDio] to bring <mask> into it." <mask> and Palmiotti launched a Harley Quinn ongoing series in November 2013. <mask> was a key contributor to the revitalization of Harley Quinn at DC Comics. Providing not only interior and cover art, her writing alongside Jimmy Palmiotti for over 100 different issues of the character returned Harley Quinn to the spotlight. Their work championed the popularity of the character again. Their stories, characters, designs and concepts heavily influenced the look and feel of the character, merchandising and Harley Quinn rise into both the theatrical and mainstream media/audience again. <mask>'s influence on Harley Quinn is highly associated with Harley's tendency to wear or create different costumes.This led to a major cosplay movement that pushed thousands of merchandising, licensed ideas and variations based on her designs. With the thought that no woman wears the same outfit, <mask> pushed to have Harley Quinn rotate or change outfits. Additionally, she provided the design concepts for the DC Universe streaming Harley Quinn Animated series. Many of the story line ideas and dialog have been used for source material on the episodes. These concepts have also been launching points for both the Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad feature movies. <mask>'s art was featured in "The Perspiration Implementation", the October 19, 2015, episode of the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory. In the episode, comic book store owner Stuart Bloom asks the women for ideas on how to attract more women to his shop, and Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) points out that an illustration hanging on one of the shop's walls, "Girl on a Leash", may not be conducive to attracting female customers.The image, which was illustrated by <mask> and colored by Paul Mounts, depicts a scantily-clad woman being held on a chain leash by a muscular, whip-wielding masked man. The piece was custom-drawn for the show by <mask>. In 2015, <mask> was voted as the #2 top female comics artist of all time. On May 18, 2019, at the Comic Con Revolution event in Ontario, California, <mask> was named the 2019 recipient of the Joe Kubert Distinguished Storyteller Award, which is given to "outstanding comic book creators who exemplify both Joe Kubert's artistic talent and his commitment to nurturing the comic book community." In February 2020, <mask> will be returning to write and draw the upcoming Harley Quinn and Birds of Prey Black Label series for DC Comics. Technique and materials

While reading each page of a script, <mask> does tiny thumbnail sketches with stick figures corresponding to the story indicated on each page, in order to help her design the page's layout. She then does tighter, more elaborate sketches, though still fairly small compared with the finished artwork, approximately 4" x 6", and then blows those up on a photocopier to the proper original comic art size, which is 10 inches x 15 inches.She then uses "very tight pencils" to light-box it onto Bristol board, if she intends to have it inked by her husband and collaborator, Jimmy Palmiotti, but will do the pencils "lighter and looser" if she intends to ink it herself, as she already knows how she wants the artwork rendered. <mask> has created her own paper stock and blue line format on her drawing paper, because, she explains, she likes having those configurations pre-printed on the page, and feels that "sometimes the rough is too toothy and the smooth is too slick." The stock she uses is the 10" x 15" Strathmore 500 series, but she also orders a custom 8" x 12" stock because she sometimes finds those dimensions more comfortable and easier to work on more quickly. She also finds the Strathmore 300 series "pretty good", in that she appreciates its texture and greater affordability, but says that she must occasionally contend with getting a "bleedy batch". <mask> uses mechanical pencils with .03 lead because she finds it easier to use than regular pencils that require her to stop and sharpen them frequently. When working on one of her own projects, such as The Pro, she prefers to letter the art herself, before the inking stage, as she appreciates the handmade, organic look and feel of hand lettering, in contrast to the computer lettering with which most books are currently produced. To ink her own artwork, she uses Staedtler .03, .01 and .005 technical pen, and will sometimes use a Copic .005 for extremely fine work, as these implements feel better in her hands than crowquills and brushes.As her artwork is open and lacks much shading, <mask> feels that Paul Mounts is a compatible colorist for her work, as he achieves "the right amount of bounciness or moodiness, depending on what's needed." <mask> has stated that her favorite things to draw are facial expressions and body language. Personal life
<mask> has lived in Los Angeles; Jacksonville, Florida; and Connecticut. She and her husband and frequent collaborator Jimmy Palmiotti lived in Brooklyn, New York City but now live in Florida, which Palmiotti referred to in an interview as the "sixth borough of New York." Awards

In 2008, he left City and Islington College.<mask>'s parents are from Bangladesh with roots in Sylhet who came to London to work and live a better lifestyle. He has five siblings; two younger brother and three younger sisters. <mask> first visited Sylhet at the age of three. During his childhood, his parents never worked and mainly lived off state benefits in UK, and in his neighbourhood, violence, crime and drugs were regular issues. He was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 11 and his doctors opined that he could never travel in an airplane in his condition. Career

At the age of 13, <mask> was hired by his 14-year-old cousin in his company, The Royal Dragons, designing and printing calendars for teachers. <mask> was given the role of a production director, however after <mask> did not take it seriously and took it for granted, he was fired after two weeks.Proving his cousin wrong was the motivation behind setting up his first business. In September 2004, <mask>'s first business was a website design company for corporate businesses called Veyron Technology, which he ran with six friends, all 13 to 14 years old. They knocked on the doors of five renowned banks asking to design their website to every employee that happened to pass by. The sixth bank was Merrill Lynch and the executive director took notice of them and gave them a chance and they made £2000 within the first two weeks. Two years later he closed it down.

title: Laurence Juber

texts:
<mask> (born 12 November 1952), is an English musician, fingerstyle guitarist and studio musician. He played guitar in the rock band Paul McCartney and Wings from 1978 to 1981. Biography

Early life
Born in Stepney, East London, <mask> was raised and went to school in North London. By his own account, he began playing guitar the week that single "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles was released. Beginning on a cheap acoustic guitar, he learned to read music early and the system of music notation. He began to earn money playing the guitar at 13, and began to study classical guitar at the age of 15. Studio work in London
Enraptured by the sounds on records of the mid- to late 1960s, he set his sights on becoming a session guitarist in London's music studios.While playing with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, he earned his music degree at London University's Goldsmith's College, where he expanded his horizons by playing the lute. Upon graduation, he immediately began work as a session guitarist, working on his first project with former Beatles producer George Martin on an album for Cleo Laine. Amongst other studio work, in 1977, <mask> was booked by London-based orchestral contractor David Katz along with session drummer Peter Boita to go to Paris for a week to record in Barclay Records' studios to make an album with Charles Aznavour. Sung entirely in French, the album, Je n'ai pas vu le temps passer..., went on to become one of Aznavour's biggest selling French language albums of all time. Perhaps most famously, <mask> played the James Bond theme for the movie The Spy Who Loved Me. Wings
Juber gave up a lucrative and successful studio career when invited to join the band Paul McCartney and Wings in 1978. <mask> later said that he agreed to join immediately "because you don't turn down that kind of job".He played on the band's Back to the Egg album (1979), as well as their subsequent UK tour. In 1980, he garnered his first Grammy Award, when Wings' track "Rockestra Theme" won the award for Best Rock Instrumental. He was miscredited as Lawrence Tuber on the sleeve for Ringo Starr's album,  Stop and Smell the Roses. From this period dates his first solo album, Standard Time (only released on vinyl). McCartney and former Wings guitarist Denny Laine played on the track "Maisie". <mask> acknowledges that whilst he was a sideman with Wings, the role included considering himself a member of the band. Life after Wings
After Wings disbanded in early 1981, <mask> moved to the United States.In New York City, he met his future wife, Hope, and soon moved to her native California. He subsequently resumed work as a studio musician and played guitar for numerous television shows, including Happy Days, Family Ties, Home Improvement and 7th Heaven. He composed the music for A Very Brady Christmas (1988), World Gone Wild (1988) and Little Sweetheart (1990). He played guitar on Belinda Carlisle's "Mad About You", Eric Carmen's "Make Me Lose Control" and "Time of My Life" and "She's Like The Wind" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. <mask> co-composed the soundtrack of the award-winning video game Diablo III and crafted the score to the Dateline NBC documentary Children of the Harvest. His music is also featured in the Ken Burns TV documentary The Tenth Inning. With his wife, <mask>, he has composed the scores to the musical comedies Gilligan's Island: The Musical, A Very Brady Musical and It's The Housewives!In addition to his own recording and performances, <mask> has produced, arranged and played on Al Stewart's albums Between the Wars (1995), Down in the Cellar (2000), A Beach Full of Shells (2005) and Sparks of Ancient Light (2008), and occasionally performs with Stewart. In 2014 he released a "photo memoir" Guitar With Wings (published by Dalton Watson Fine Books) which featured previously unpublished pictures of his time working with Paul McCartney. Solo career
In 1990, <mask> released his second solo album, Solo Flight. During the next decade he would begin to explore altered tunings, especially "DADGAD". In 2000, <mask> released the solo album LJ plays the Beatles and The Collection and in 2003 the album Guitarist was released to critical acclaim. <mask>'s credentials as a top-tier fingerstyle guitarist continue to grow. Having been voted "Guitarist of the Year" by readers of Fingerstyle Guitar magazine, as well as one of the top acoustic players of all time by Acoustic Guitar magazine, <mask> is an ambassador for his instrument as well as his own music.He has released many critically acclaimed solo albums, and has earned a second Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental for his solo guitar arrangement of "The Pink Panther Theme" on the CD Henry Mancini: Pink Guitar. <mask> has also released a series of instructional CDs that teach basic music theory and arrangement techniques for guitarists and has three folios of his arrangements of pop songs published by Hal Leonard.

Ourania "<mask><mask> a.k.a. <mask> (; born 17 December 1960) is a Greek heterodox economist and Syriza politician. After the January 2015 election, MP Alexis Tsipras named her as the
Greek Alternate Minister for Combating Unemployment in his cabinet tasked to implement a job guarantee policy based on her previous work experience and a specific study for Greece with other colleagues at the Levy Economics Institute. She remains a Syriza member. On the 5th of September 2018 she was appointed by the Greek Government as the Permanent Representative of Greece (Ambassador) to the OECD in Paris, France, entrusting her to represent the country despite the severe media attack she had been subjected to a few months earlier. Between February and August 2015, she also was a member of the Hellenic Parliament. A former macroeconomic policy adviser for UN Women and consultant UNDP and the ILO, she is specialized in macroeconomic gender issues and job creation in extreme unemployment  economic environments.She is Associate Professor of Economics at New York Bard College and a senior scholar of the Levy Economics Institute where she is involved with the Modern Monetary Theory school of post-Keynesian economics. A co-initiator of the Economists for Full Employment project, she has been a long-time supporter of a job guarantee with the state being employer of last resort. Following a job guarantee 2012 pilot project based in large part on her advocacy with the General Confederation of Trade Unions of Greece (ΓΣΕΕ), and subsequent empirical work she undertook at the Levy Institute for ΓΣΕΕ, she was appointed Alternate Minister for Combatting Unemployment in the Syriza-led Tsipras Government. In her ministerial office, she was specifically tasked with implementing a nationwide job guarantee program to combat long-term unemployment by creating at least 300,000 new jobs for the unemployed.

When in 1997 Antonopoulou received her Ph.D. economics from the New School for Social Research, she had already been teaching economics at New York University and in the same year was awarded the university's Teaching Excellence Award. At New York University she taught Economics, a post she would hold until 2006. Working in the fields of feminist economics, international trade, and the economics of globalization, Antonopoulou served as macroeconomic policy adviser for UN Women, and as advising consultant for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Labour Office (ILO).In 2002, she became co-director of the Knowledge Networking Program on Engendering Macroeconomics and International Economics (GEM-IWG) and co-founded GEM-Europe and GEM-Turkey. Academic career
Prior to her involvement in politics, Antonopoulou served as Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College she has been affiliated with since 2001. She is also a senior scholar with the associated Levy Economics Institute and director of the Gender Equality and the Economy program. In the last years she has further specialized in linkages of gender and macro economics, in the macroeconomic impact of job guarantee policies, and in the implications of unpaid work on poverty indicators. In line with her heterodox policy oriented research, she continued working on her concept of a "Job guarantee" which she has been developing at the Levy Institute of Bard College since 2006. This concept turns the state into an Employer of last resort that issues publicly funded jobs at minimum wage level to everybody unable to find a job in the private sector. When job opportunities are scarce, it is argued, public policy must ensure that the institutional means of implementation of the RIGHT TO WORK, that is, of Article 23.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are in place.The huge rise of unemployment following the Greek government-debt crisis and the austerity measures imposed by the Troika led the PASOK-led Ministry of Labour into giving the concept a chance. In 2012, a first pilot program was rolled out for 55,000 unemployed. Minister for Combatting Unemployment
When in the January 2015 elections, <mask> was elected a Member of the Hellenic Parliament on Syriza's state list, new Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras appointed her Alternate Minister for Combatting Unemployment. Her portfolio also included the strengthening of the Social and Solidarity Economy sector (SSE) of the economy and she is credited with the enactment of the SSE law which was voted in parliament in October 2016. <mask> is the second Modern Monetary Theory scholar to assume a high-profile post in a government, following her former colleague at Bard College, Stephanie Kelton, who earlier in January was appointed Chief Economist of the U.S. Senate Budget Committee. In her ministerial office, Antonopoulou was specifically tasked with implementing a nationwide "Job Guarantee" program to combat long-term unemployment, creating at least 300,000 new jobs for the unemployed. The program has been described both by herself and by others as being a centerpiece of a "Greek New Deal" as proposed by the Syriza government.Outlined in a Levy Institute research project and policy paper from October 2014, the program will be built on the experience of the 2012 pilot project  and won't be restricted to reskilling some of the unemployed for the private sector. The program, with precedents only in the Indian Rural Employment Guarantee, is rather set to create publicly funded long-term jobs to allow the unemployed fulfilling socially needed tasks at a minimum wage level. In a February 2015 interview with Deutsche Welle, Antonopoulos pointed out that "the main problem in Greece is lack of aggregate demand and consequent lack of jobs, not lack of skills." Results of the 2012 pilot project suggested that some 500,000 of the totaling 1.3 million unemployed in Greece would be willing to take up such a minimum-wage level job. Private life
Prior to her arrival in Athens to join the Greek Government's cabinet in September 2015, Antonopoulou lived in New York City since 1977, and is married to her colleague at Bard College, Greek American economist Dimitri B. Papadimitriou. In February 2018, it became public that she had been receiving a rent subsidy of 12.000 Euro each year. Despite the fact that all ministers who were non-Athens residents were eligible for a rent stipend through a law voted in parliamner in 2015, and hence there was no issue of legality ever raised, and, although several other cabinet members of the Syriza administration had been receiving the same subsidy benefit, a media character assassination was unleashed based on the argument that she was 'rich and did not need it'.It has wrongfully been reported in the international press that PM Tsipras dismissed her. She resigned on her own will, as the domestic media power proved unstoppable in diverting the attention of the public away of the Novartis scandal by focusing on the legal yet 'unethical' choice, a Syriza cabinet member had made.
