paragraph: Pavel Filonov

paragraph: Pavel Nikolayevich Filonov (; January 8, 1883 – December 3, 1941) was a Russian avant-garde painter, art theorist, and poet.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Filonov was born in Moscow on January 8, 1883 (Gregorian calendar) or December 27, 1882 (Julian calendar). In 1897, he moved to St. Petersburg where he took art lessons. In 1908, he entered St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, from which, he was expelled in 1910.

paragraph: In 1910–1914, he took part in the arts group Soyuz Molodyozhi created by artists Elena Guro and Mikhail Matyushin. In 1912, he wrote the article "The Canon and the Law", in which, he formulated the principles of analytical realism, or "anti-Cubism". According to Filonov, Cubism represents objects using elements of their surface geometry but "analytical realists" should represent objects using elements of their inner soul. He was faithful to these principles for the remainder of his life.

paragraph: During the years 1913 to 1915, Filonov was close to Vladimir Mayakovsky, Velimir Khlebnikov, and other futurists. He co-illustrated Khlebnikov's "Selected Poems with Postscript, 1907–1914" alongside Kazimir Malevich during this time. In the autumn of 1916, he enlisted for service in World War I, and served on the Romanian front. Filonov participated actively in the Russian Revolution of 1917 and served as the Chairman of the Revolutionary War Committee of Dunay region.

paragraph: In 1919, he exhibited in the First Free Exhibit of Artists of All Trends at the Hermitage. In 1923, he became a professor of St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and a member of the Institute for Artistic Culture (INKhUK). He organized a large arts school of Masters of Analytical Realism (over seventy artists). Their work influenced suprematism and expressionism.

paragraph: In 1929, a large retrospective exhibition of Filonov art was planned at the Russian Museum; however, the Soviet government forbade the exhibition from going forward. From 1932 onward, Filonov literally starved but still refused to sell his works to private collectors. He wanted to give all his works to the Russian Museum as a gift so as to start a Museum of Analytical Realism. He died of starvation on December 3, 1941 during the Siege of Leningrad.

paragraph: Section::::Method.

paragraph: Under the umbrella of Universal Flowering, Filonov put forth a manner of working that proceeded from the particular to the general. He believed that objects and fields should be built up from small details and bits and stated that doing it the other-way-round was nothing short of "charlatanism". To this end, he worked, and required his students to work, with very small brushes in painting and the finest of points when drawing.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: Most of Filonov's works were saved by his sister Yevdokiya Nikolayevna Glebova. She stored the paintings in the Russian Museum's archives and eventually donated them as a gift. Exhibitions of Filonov's work were forbidden. In 1967, an exhibition of Filonov's works in Novosibirsk was permitted. In 1988, his work was allowed in the Russian Museum. In 1989 and 1990, the first international exhibition of Filonov's work was held in Paris.

paragraph: During the period of half-legal status of Filonov's works it was seemingly easy to steal them; however, there was a legend that Filonov's ghost protected his art and anybody trying to steal his paintings or to smuggle them abroad would soon die, become paralyzed, or have a similar misfortune.

paragraph: Nicky Hunt

paragraph: Nicholas Brett Hunt (born 3 September 1983) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right back for Crewe Alexandra. He made 127 appearances in the Premier League for Bolton Wanderers and more than 200 in the Football League for a variety of clubs, and represented England at under-21 level.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Bolton Wanderers.

paragraph: Hunt made his professional debut as a substitute for Colin Hendry in the First Division match against Sheffield United on the final day of the 2000–01 regular season, shortly before Bolton Wanderers won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs. He had to wait some time for further first-team opportunities, only playing in two FA Cup ties (against Sunderland in January 2003) before making his breakthrough at the start of the 2003–04 season when he became a key part of the defence and a first-team regular for Bolton. His Premier League debut came in the 4–0 defeat at Manchester United on 16 August 2003. He made over a century of appearances for the club, scoring once, against Liverpool in February 2004. His form earned him a four-year contract at Bolton, taking him until the end of the 2010–11 season, which he signed on 30 August 2007.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Birmingham City loan.

paragraph: The departure of Sam Allardyce to Newcastle United and his eventual replacement by Gary Megson saw Hunt fall out of favour at the Reebok Stadium and he joined Championship club Birmingham City on an emergency one-month loan deal as cover for the injured Stuart Parnaby and Stephen Kelly on 3 November 2008. He made his debut the same day, in a 1–0 defeat to Coventry City at St Andrew's. The loan was extended for a further month, but on 30 December, a 24-hour recall clause in the loan agreement was invoked and the player returned to Bolton.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Derby County loan.

paragraph: Despite being recalled Hunt played no further role for Bolton in the ensuing year and was again loaned out to a Championship club, this time Derby County, on 7 January 2010 as competition for the club's sole available rightback, Paul Connolly. Initially a month's loan, it was extended until the end of the season.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Bristol City.

paragraph: On 30 July 2010, Hunt signed a two-year deal with Championship club Bristol City. He made his debut in a 3–0 loss to Millwall. Hunt made seven appearances in the first two months of the season, and an eighth in a 3–1 loss against Leeds United on 13 November, but that was his last for the club. Under Steve Coppell, Hunt was put in the first team which gave Hunt his debut for the club until Coppell's unexpected resignation over his lack of passion for the job. Under Coppell's assistant manager Keith Millen, Hunt was given more playing time until Hunt fell out favour with Millen. Things came to a head when Hunt replaced an injured Louis Carey in a game against Leeds. At the time City were drawing 1–1 in a hard-fought game but went on to lose 3–1. Millen favoured Carey and Jordan Spence at right back until he was sacked. At the start of the 2011–12 season, Millen was keen to offload him but received no offers for the player. On 31 January 2012, Hunt's contract was terminated.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Preston North End.

paragraph: A few days later, Hunt signed a short-term deal with Preston North End as a free agent. He played regularly over the next few months, and was released when his contract expired.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Rotherham United.

paragraph: Hunt signed for Rotherham United on 22 May 2012. A hamstring tear during a pre-season friendly delayed his competitive debut, he played just a few matches before falling out of favour, and he joined Accrington Stanley on loan in January 2013.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Accrington Stanley.

paragraph: On his third appearance, Hunt collided with Plymouth Argyle's Ronan Murray, lost consciousness, and was taken to hospital after ten minutes of treatment on the pitch. Once his recovery was well on the way, the loan was extended to the end of the season.

paragraph: He signed for Stanley on a two-year deal in June 2013 after Rotherham released him from his contract.

paragraph: Hunt chose to leave Stanley at the end of his contract.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Mansfield Town.

paragraph: In June 2015 he signed for Mansfield Town.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Leyton Orient.

paragraph: In the January 2016 transfer window, Hunt joined Leyton Orient until the end of the season with an option for a further year. He scored his first goal for Orient in a 3–0 win at Colchester United on 12 November 2016.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Notts County.

paragraph: On 1 August 2017, Hunt signed for Notts County. He was released at the end of the season.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Crewe Alexandra.

paragraph: On 31 July 2018, Hunt joined Crewe Alexandra on a one-year deal after a successful trial, making his first team debut on 4 August 2018, coming on as a 29th minute substitute for George Ray in a 6-0 win over Morecambe. He signed a new one-year deal in May 2019.

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: Hunt won ten England U21 caps, the first in February 2004 against the Netherlands.

paragraph: Torch (rapper)

paragraph: Frederik Hahn (born September 29, 1971 in Heidelberg), better known by his stage name Torch, is a German rapper. He is also known as DJ Haitian Star. He was among the first German rappers who began rapping in German in the mid-1980s in Heidelberg, laying the foundation for the success of German hip hop music. In 1985, Afrika Bambaataa named him king of the first German chapter of the Zulu Nation and also gave him the title: Overlord of Sound & Culture.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1987, Torch founded the group Advanced Chemistry with Toni L, Linguist, Gee-One and DJ Mike MD. In 1992, the song "Fremd im eigenen Land" ("Stranger in one's own country") became the group's first hit. Primarily due to exposure on the cable television network MTV, the song garnered attention outside of Germany's hip hop scene, which was still quite small at the time.

paragraph: Torch's first (and so far only) solo-album was "Blauer Samt" (""Blue Velvet""), released in 2000.

paragraph: He worked with international artists like Afrika Bambaataa, Freestyle (Ex-Arsonists), Grandmaster Caz (Cold Crush Bros), Jurassic 5, KRS1 (BDP), Melle Mel, Missing Linx (Al Tariq-Ex Beatnuts), Whipper Whip & Virtuoso (Boston), Fréro-La Mixture (France). After his introduction to Bambaataa, Torch was given the task of heading up the very first German chapter of the Zulu nation as well as collaborating for the socially conscious German hip-hop concert, 'Rap against the Right'. Torch was chosen for these tasks because of his social consciousness as pervayed through his music and lyrics.

paragraph: Advanced Chemistry (and specifically Torch) have expressed the desire to remain largely underground while other German hip hop groups have sought stardom, but a common view shared by these other groups and Torch is their view on "Americanness." Author Timothy Brown cites Torch as stating, "What the American do is exotic for us because we don't live like they do. What they do seems to be more interesting and newer. But not for me. For me it's more exciting to experience my fellow Germans in new contexts... For me it's interesting to see what the kids try to do that's different from what I know."

paragraph: He is also travelling the World as DJ Haitian Star where he has performed at the Battle of the Year (Germany), Jazz Festival Montreux (Switzerland), Hip Hop Kemp (Czech Republik), Zulu Anniversary (NY/USA)... He shared the decks with DJs like: Z-Trip (US), David Rodigan (UK), Grandmaster Flash (US), Kool Herc (US), Tee (Japan), Supreme/Hijack (UK), Defcut (CH), Stylewarz (D), Marc Hype (D).

paragraph: Salm ibn Ziyad

paragraph: Abū Ḥarb Salm ibn Ziyād ibn Abīhi (died late 692) was a general and statesman of the Umayyad Caliphate, who later defected to the caliphate of Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr during the Second Muslim Civil War before returning to the Umayyads' ranks. Salm was appointed by Caliph Yazid I (r. 680–683) as governor of Khurasan and Sijistan in 681. During the course of his governorship, he launched several expeditionary raids into the Central Asian regions of Transoxiana, including Samarkand, and Khwarazm. His successes and generous distribution of war booty among his Khurasani Arab troops gained him wide popularity with them, but after Yazid died, Salm was not able to maintain their loyalty to the Umayyads for long. After his troops and chosen successor, Abd Allah ibn Khazim al-Sulami, gave their allegiance to the rival caliphate of Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, Salm made for Basra. There, he ultimately joined Ibn al-Zubayr's camp, but was imprisoned in Mecca by the latter nonetheless. After paying a large bribe, he was released and following Ibn al-Zubayr's death at the hands of the Umayyads in late 692, he was reappointed governor of Khurasan. However, he died before he could resume his duties.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Salm was the third eldest son of Ziyad ibn Abihi, the Umayyad governor of Iraq and virtual viceroy of the eastern part of the caliphate. By the time of Ziyad's death in 673, his family maintained a strong footing in the eastern caliphate; Ziyad was replaced with Salm's brothers Ubayd Allah in Iraq, Abd al-Rahman in Khurasan, and Abbad in Sijistan. A year after Yazid I succeeded his father Mu'awiya I as caliph in 680, he appointed Salm governor of Khurasan and Sijistan in place of his brothers. In turn, Salm appointed another of the brothers, Yazid, as his deputy governor in Sijistan. Prior to his arrival at the provincial capital at Merv, Salm assembled a select force of 2,000 tribesmen at Basra, among which were several leading Arab nobles, including the veterans al-Muhallab ibn Abi Sufra of Azd, Abd Allah ibn Khazim of Banu Sulaym, Talha ibn Abdillah of Khuza'a and Umar ibn Ubaydillah ibn Ma'mar of Banu Tamim.

paragraph: One of Salm's first actions upon arriving at Merv was the arrest and public condemnation of the powerful Arab chieftain Qays ibn al-Haytham, who had been empowered by Salm's brother Abd al-Rahman. According to historian Muhammad Adnan Shaban, his arrest was an effort by Salm to gain the support of the influential chieftain Aslam ibn Zura'a, who had been imprisoned and extorted by Qays, and to signal a departure of Abd al-Rahman's policy of redirecting the revenues of Khurasan to Damascus instead of among the province's troops for expeditions. Depending on the source, Salm either sent Caliph Yazid one-fifth of the war booty his forces acquired with the rest distributed among the troops or he distributed all of the booty between himself and the troops. As a result of this policy and successes on the battlefield, Salm gained wide popularity among the troops. Indeed, the 9th-century historian al-Tabari recorded: "The people of Khurasan never loved a governor as they loved Salm [ibn] Ziyad. In those two years when Salm was there, more than 20,000 children were named Salm because of their love for Salm." — Ali ibn Muhammad, a certain Arab "shaykh" (tribal chieftain) from Khurasan cited by al-Tabari.

paragraph: Salm scored victories and gains during his raids across the Oxus River against the Soghdian princes of Transoxiana and Samarkand in Central Asia. He is credited as the first Arab commander to encamp in territory east of the Oxus during the winter. Previously, the Arab armies, which had been crossing east of the Oxus from 671, refrained from camping there in the winter because they were unaccustomed to the severe Central Asian cold and the consequent need for heavier, warm clothing. His wife, Umm Muhammad bint Abd Allah, a granddaughter of Uthman ibn Abi'l-As al-Thaqafi, crossed with him and became the first Arab woman to cross the Oxus. She gave birth to one of his sons, whom they named Sughdi in honor of his birthplace, Sogdhia.

paragraph: Salm also led raids into the Khwarazm. However, his deputies in Sijistan and Zabulistan, the latter was under the command of is brother Abu Ubayda, were not able to emulate Salm's successes in the region that corresponds with modern-day Afghanistan. There, the Zunbils of Zabulistan and the shahs of Kabul put up stiff resistance against the Arabs and Yazid and Abu Ubayda were ultimately slain during military expeditions against them.

paragraph: Following Yazid's death and the chaos that ensued due to the uncertainty of leadership in the Umayyad capital in Syria, Salm initially maintained the allegiance of Khurasan's Arab troops to the Umayyads. However, they soon after defected and Salm was forced to abandon the province for his brother Ubayd Allah's headquarters in Basra. His chosen successor, Abd Allah ibn Khazim al-Sulami, meanwhile emerged to dominate the eastern caliphate and paid allegiance to the anti-Umayyad, Mecca-based claimant to the caliphate, Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr. Unlike Ubayd Allah, Salm decided to join Ibn al-Zubayr's cause, but Zubayrid loyalists nonetheless arrested him in Basra and brought him to Mecca where he was held captive. Ibn al-Zubayr had extorted Salm, who ultumately paid the former four million dirhams, which he acquired in the course of his governorship over Khurasan, to secure his freedom. He remained in Mecca until the Umayyad general al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf besieged Ibn al-Zubayr. Salm was pardoned by the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik, who restored him as governor of Khurasan. However, before he could reach the province, Salm died in Basra in 692. A grandson of Salm, Maslama ibn Muharib ibn Salm (died between 765–785), was a Basra-based historian whose reports were used in the histories of 9th-century historians al-Mada'ini and al-Tabari.

paragraph: Chris Sharrock

paragraph: Chris Sharrock (born 30 May 1964) is an English drummer, hailing from Bebington, Merseyside, England. He has been a member of the Icicle Works, the La's, the Wild Swans, World Party, the Lightning Seeds, Robbie Williams Live, Oasis, Beady Eye and currently in Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Sharrock's recording career began as a member of the Cherry Boys; he was the drummer on the band's first single, "Man to Man", released in January 1981. Sharrock then left the Cherry Boys for the Icicle Works, with whom he stayed until 1988, playing on the band's first four albums. He then left that band and briefly joined the La's, drumming on their hit single "There She Goes". He left the La's shortly thereafter, and drummed on the Wild Swans' second album in 1990.

paragraph: Sharrock subsequently joined World Party as an official member in the mid 1990s, followed by a stint in the Lightning Seeds. In 1994, he was a member of "Terry and the Lovemen", a one-off recording project that was actually the band XTC appearing on under a pseudonym. Sharrock also played drums on Del Amitri's 1995 album "Twisted", but was not an official member of that band. By 1998, Sharrock was the drummer in Robbie Williams' band, a position he held for the next 8 years.

paragraph: Sharrock joined Oasis in 2008 after previous drummer Zak Starkey left the group. Chris did not play on the band's 2008 album, "Dig Out Your Soul", but played on the subsequent tour. Noel Gallagher said in an interview for MOJO, regarding the appointment of Oasis' new drummer, "Liam is still not happy about Chris Sharrock, because he's Robbie Williams' drummer. I went home and thought about it and it was just too much of a temptation to piss Robbie Williams and Liam off in one phone call." Sharrock made his live debut with Oasis on 14 August 2008, in front of 150 Oasis fan club members.

paragraph: On the appointment of Sharrock as Oasis' new drummer, Noel suggested that he "shouldn't get too comfortable", joking that they (Oasis) were "trying to break Spinal Tap’s record" for the number of drummers. This in reference to the grisly ends met by Spinal Tap's long list of drummers. Noel also stated on the 2009 UK Stadium Tour "This is our new and final drummer." Considering that Oasis broke up only a few months later, this statement was indeed correct.

paragraph: Sharrock became well-known to Oasis fans for his drum solo during the song "The Shock of the Lightning" which he performed several times whilst touring with Oasis during 2008 and 2009. As well, he was noted for his flamboyant tricks with his drumsticks, including twirling them during the intro to "Morning Glory" and throwing them up in the air now and again, much to the crowd's enjoyment.

paragraph: In an interview given during the South American tour of 2009 (posted by Noel on the Official Oasis Blog), Noel Gallagher, asked to compare the drumming prowess of Chris Sharrock and Zak Starkey, stated that they are both the same. Starkey and Sharrock have an extremely similar history, very often taking over from each other; Sharrock was Starkey's predecessor as the drummer for both the Icicle Works and the Lightning Seeds.

paragraph: After Oasis split in 2009, Sharrock formed Beady Eye with former bandmates Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell. He would be featured on their two studio albums "Different Gear, Still Speeding" and "BE". When Beady Eye disbanded, Sharrock joined the touring band for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, who were promoting the album "Chasing Yesterday". Along with his former bandmate Archer, Sharrock was announced as a full-time member for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds during the 2017 recording sessions of "Who Built The Moon?" Sharrock did not, however, appear on the album in any capacity.

paragraph: Peter Smith (judge)

paragraph: Sir Peter Winston Smith (born 1 May 1952), styled The Hon Mr Justice Peter Smith, was a judge of the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, appointed to that office on 15 April 2002 and assigned to the Chancery Division. His name was correctly abbreviated in English legal writing as "Peter Smith J," and not as "Smith J," because there were other senior judges also named Smith. He was the subject of comment and investigation in relation to his judicial behaviour in various circumstances. He retired on 28 October 2017.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Smith was born in Taiping, Malaya to George Arthur Smith and Iris Muriel Smith, while his father was posted abroad. He grew up with five siblings in Hornsea, East Yorkshire, and attended grammar school in nearby Bridlington.

paragraph: He read law at Selwyn College, Cambridge. After receiving a BA degree in 1974 and an MA degree in 1976, Smith briefly practised in Liverpool before becoming a law lecturer at Manchester University from 1977-1983. Smith practised as a barrister on the Northern Circuit from 1979–2002, being an Assistant Recorder from 1994–97, a Deputy High Court Judge from 1996–2002, and a Recorder from 1997-2002. Upon his elevation to the High Court bench in 2002, he was knighted as a matter of course.

paragraph: In 1980, Smith married Diane Dalgleish. They have one son and two daughters.

paragraph: Smith is a member of the Titanic Historical Society and the British Titanic Society. Other hobbies include being a "Jackie Fisher fan", reading military history, and football. He currently resides in London.

paragraph: Section::::"The Da Vinci Code" and the "Smithy Code".

paragraph: In April 2006, Smith ruled that Dan Brown had not infringed the copyright of Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, authors of the pseudo-historical book "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail". While Brown had taken ideas from the earlier book, he did not copy the "central theme" of his book from there. As ideas themselves cannot be copyrighted, Smith ruled that Brown had therefore not substantially copied the original work.

paragraph: Within his printed judgment, which was delivered on 7 April 2006, the judge embedded a coded message, apparently placed for amusement. The first few pages contained scattered letters which were italicised. The first section spelt 'smithy code', followed by a number of other seemingly random letters. The judge stated that he would not discuss the code as he was not able to talk about his ruling, but that he would confirm any correct attempt to break it.

paragraph: However, it was later learned that the judge had given a series of email hints about the code, which was finally announced as cracked on 28 April 2006, by Daniel Tench, a lawyer and media journalist for "The Guardian" newspaper. The plain text reads: "Smithy Code. Jackie Fisher, who are you? Dreadnought." This related to the subject of one of Smith's personal interests, Admiral Lord (John) Fisher, who was responsible for the design of the battleship HMS "Dreadnought". The ship was launched in February 1906, roughly 100 years before the start of the trial.

paragraph: In the appeal to the Court of Appeal from the judge's decision in "The Da Vinci Code" case, the Court of Appeal said that the judge

paragraph: "was prompted by the extensive use in [The Da Vinci Code] of codes, and no doubt by his own interest in such things, to incorporate a coded message in his judgment, on which nothing turns. The judgment is not easy to read or to understand. It might have been preferable for him to have allowed himself more time for the preparation, checking and revision of the judgment."

paragraph: Section::::Recusal in the Addleshaw Goddard matter – reprimand by the Lord Chief Justice.

paragraph: Smith spent some months in communication with a London solicitors' firm, Addleshaw Goddard relating to the possibility of employment by them. Those discussions came to nothing and there was email correspondence showing his disappointment. But in July 2007, about a month after the conclusion of those negotiations, the judge refused to recuse himself from a heavily contested case ("Howell v Lees Millais & Others") involving a partner in the same firm in his capacity as a trustee. On appeal from his refusal, the Court of Appeal criticised the judge for his attitude and behaviour during the hearing and allowed the appeal, with the effect of removing Smith from the case.

paragraph: In its unanimous judgments of 4 July 2007, the Court of Appeal described the judge's behaviour in part as "intemperate" and "somewhat extraordinary". In one paragraph of his judgment, Lord Justice Judge said:

paragraph: It is the conduct of the hearing which underlines that the judge had become too personally involved in the decision he was being asked to make to guarantee the necessary judicial objectivity which would be required in the trustee proceedings. I identify three particular features. First, the witness who supported the application was in effect cross-examined by the judge in something of the style of an advocate instructed to oppose the application. Second, the submission by counsel for the applicant that the judge had given evidence was in the circumstances unsurprising, and the concerns he expressed on this topic were validly made. Finally, the judge impugned the good faith of the application, a conclusion repeated in the strongest terms in his judgment when there is no shred of evidence to suggest some ulterior or improper motive behind the application.

paragraph: In a concluding comment on the way in which the judge behaved, Lord Justice Judge said:

paragraph: In these circumstances it is unfortunate to have to record that, in my judgment, the conduct of the hearing itself demonstrated not only that the application to the judge to recuse himself was rightly made, but that it should have been granted.

paragraph: The judge himself then issued a press release on the topic. By 13 July 2007, Joshua Rozenberg, a legal journalist, was suggesting in "The Daily Telegraph" that it was time for the judge to stand down.

paragraph: On 16 July 2007, it was announced in a press release from the Judicial Communications Office that the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, had referred the judge's behaviour in the case to the independent Office for Judicial Complaints (OJC). Frances Gibb embarked on speculation as to whether the judge should stay in office in "The Times" on 18 July and Rozenberg returned to the point on 19 July. Both journalists mentioned the question of the judge's health, but without going into detail.

paragraph: The Lord Chief Justice and the Lord Chancellor may refer for investigation by the OJC any matter where the conduct of a judicial office holder may warrant disciplinary proceedings. They may make this referral irrespective of whether there have been any complaints made by others. The Office for Judicial Complaints is obliged to consider the matter in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations.

paragraph: On 18 April 2008 it was announced in the following terms that the OJC had found that misconduct had been established against the judge.

paragraph: Following investigation under the Judicial Discipline Regulations 2006, the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice have carefully considered the Court of Appeal’s comments on the conduct of Mr Justice Peter Smith in the case of Howell and others v Lees-Millais and others and have concluded that the conduct in question amounted to misconduct.

paragraph: As a result, the Lord Chief Justice has issued a reprimand to the judge.

paragraph: The Lord Chief Justice has said: “I consider that a firm line has now been drawn under this matter. Both I and the Lord Chancellor value the services of Mr Justice Peter Smith and he has my full confidence."

paragraph: No statement was made by the judge.

paragraph: Section::::Recusal in wasted costs proceedings.

paragraph: In August 2013 the Court of Appeal held that Smith should have recused himself from hearing an application for wasted costs against a firm of solicitors. Smith had made strong criticisms of the quality of the evidence of an expert witness called to give evidence of Ethiopian law, and had attributed the cause of the expert's failings to solicitors who, according to Smith, had failed to prepare the expert appropriately for the trial. Smith declined to recuse himself from hearing the subsequent wasted costs application against the solicitors, but an appeal against this decision was allowed by the Court of Appeal. Lady Justice Arden observed in her judgment (at paragraph [59]) that there was ""apparent bias stemming from the facts of the case which meant that the judge should have recused himself from hearing the wasted costs application"" and (at paragraph [62]) that ""the judge should certainly have recused himself from hearing the wasted costs application"".

paragraph: Section::::Recusal in British Airways proceedings.

paragraph: In July 2015, on application by the parties, Smith recused himself from being the judge in long running multi-party proceedings between various airlines. The judge's personal luggage, together with that of other passengers, had failed to arrive in London after a flight from Florence. Smith corresponded with the chief executive of British Airways (BA), suggesting that BA may have taken a deliberate decision not to carry the passengers' luggage and that this may have been in order to make additional profit from the conveyance of cargo on that flight. A number of the parties to the litigation applied for Smith to recuse himself from further part in the case. During the hearing, Smith repeatedly asked counsel for BA what had happened to his luggage, receiving the response that the proceedings were not appropriate for dealing with a personal dispute. In due course Smith agreed to recuse himself. In his judgment of 22 July 2015 he set out a detailed account of the occasion when the luggage went missing, and suggested that the true issue in the case was that the missing luggage gave rise to issues which were similar to some of the allegations in the case which he had to try, so that (if they were correct) he would have had to recuse himself. He said that he would continue his investigation into the luggage issue "in a private capacity ... with the vigour for which I am known".

paragraph: In September 2015, it was announced by a spokesman for the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office that Smith's conduct in connection with the case was being investigated.

paragraph: Section::::Press criticism, letter, bias allegation, the Court of Appeal, discipline and retirement.

paragraph: Following the British Airways recusal application, an article by Lord Pannick QC appeared in the Times newspaper. It was highly critical of Smith's behaviour. Smith's reaction was to write to Anthony Peto QC, one of the joint heads of Blackstone Chambers, where Pannick practised, complaining in strong terms about Pannick's "outrageous" article and saying that Smith would no longer support members of Blackstone Chambers. At around the same time, Smith was hearing a case ("Harb v Aziz") where one party was represented by Ian Mill QC and by Shahid Fatima QC, each a member of Blackstone Chambers. Smith decided against the client of Mill and Fatima. One of the grounds of an appeal to the Court of Appeal was that Smith had shown apparent bias against their client by reason of his expressed animus against all the members of Blackstone Chambers.

paragraph: The appeal was allowed by the Court of Appeal, not on the grounds of bias but because the judge had failed to deal adequately with the case, including certain aspects of the evidence. However, in the course of the judgment of the Court (Lord Dyson MR, Moore-Bick and McFarlane LJJ) Smith was heavily criticised for his conduct in writing the letter.

paragraph: Having set out substantially the whole of Pannick's article and the text of the letter written by Smith to Peto, the court said this (at paragraph [68])

paragraph: ""In his letter to the claimant's solicitors dated 12th February 2016, the judge accepted that he should not have written the Letter. It is difficult to believe that any judge, still less a High Court Judge, could have done so. It was a shocking and, we regret to say, disgraceful letter to write. It shows a deeply worrying and fundamental lack of understanding of the proper role of a judge. What makes it worse is that it comes on the heels of the BAA baggage affair. In our view, the comments of Lord Pannick, far from being "outrageous" as the judge said in the Letter, were justified. We greatly regret having to criticise a judge in these strong terms, but our duty requires us to do so.""

paragraph: In a column in the Guardian newspaper, Joshua Rozenberg returned to the theme of Smith's suitability for judicial office, repeating his contention, first raised in 2007, that it was now time for Smith to resign. Smith had "agreed to refrain from sitting" before the Harb appeal, and this effective suspension from work was to continue.

paragraph: On 2 August 2016, writing in "The Times" Frances Gibb reported that Smith had "been signed off sick and may never return to work", being mentally unfit to defend himself in a disciplinary inquiry, which could mean that a decision may not be made for several months. A spokesman for the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office was reported as having said: "The JCIO investigation into the BA matter is continuing." A separate inquiry relating to the Harb appeal was under way. He would not confirm whether the judge was unwell.

paragraph: On 11 April 2017 Joshua Rozenberg returned to the topic of Smith's continued holding of judicial office. Rozenberg speculated that Smith would retire from the High Court once he attained 65 years of age in May 2017, qualifying for immediate payment of his judicial pension.

paragraph: On 2 October 2017 Rozenberg reported that a formal disciplinary tribunal was due to sit in private at the end of October 2017 in order to hear unspecified allegations against Smith, who had been effectively suspended on full pay since May 2016. Rozenberg drew attention to the fact that it was over 10 years since he had first called for Smith's resignation.

paragraph: Smith's retirement, with effect from 28 October 2017, was announced on 27 October 2017.

paragraph: King ov Hell

paragraph: Tom Cato Visnes (born November 27, 1974), better known as King ov Hell or simply King, is a Norwegian musician. He is best known as the former bassist of black metal band Gorgoroth, but he is also the co-founder of Ov Hell, God Seed, Jotunspor, Audrey Horne, Sahg, I and Temple of the Black Moon.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: King joined Gorgoroth in 1999 just before the band's fifth album "Incipit Satan" was recorded. Although all the material for this album had already been written before King joined the band, he did write the music for five tracks on their next album, "Twilight of the Idols" (2003), and all of the music for "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam" (2006), which was nominated for a 2006 Spellemann award in the 'Metal' category. King also reunited with former Gorgoroth drummer Kvitrafn to form a band, the “noisy black metal” project Jotunspor. "Gleipnirs Smeder", their first album, was released in 2006 by the newly founded record label Satanas Rex. King was also the bassist for supergroup I, the side-project of Abbath Doom Occulta of Immortal which also featured members of Enslaved and Audrey Horne, as well as former Immortal drummer Armagedda. The band released the album "Between Two Worlds" in 2006.

paragraph: King quit Gorgoroth in June 2006, due to having problems fronting some of the ideological aspects of Gorgoroth's agenda. He rejoined the band in 2007 in time for the recording of the music video for the track "Carving a Giant", taken from the 2006 album. In September 2007, King filed a trademark application to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office for the name and logo of Gorgoroth, and the following month he and vocalist Gaahl attempted to fire founding member Infernus, igniting the Gorgoroth name dispute. In March 2009 the Oslo City District Court ruled that by doing this, Gaahl and King had instead excluded "themselves" from the band. Following the conclusion of this dispute, he and Gaahl assumed the name God Seed. Following the decision of Gaahl to retire from metal music in July 2009, King dissolved God Seed and formed Ov Hell with Shagrath, using the music he wrote in 2008 that was later intended to be used on the debut God Seed album for the debut album of his new band, with lyrics written by Shagrath.

paragraph: In March 2008, it was announced that King would be playing session bass on the next Shining album, "VI / Klagopsalmer". However, in October 2008 there was an announcement on the official Shining "MySpace" page saying that King did not take part on the new album after all, since a new permanent bassist had been recruited in time for the recording.

paragraph: King has also worked in bands outside of the black metal genre. He used to be a member of Sahg, a doom metal influenced band. On their 2006 Regain Records release, "Sahg 1", King played drums on one track. He was the bassist and composer for the Spellemann Award winning rock band Audrey Horne, billed as Tom. He left the band in 2007. King was also the bassist in the Norwegian drum and bass band Clububba. They were active during the early 2000s.

paragraph: As of late he has also recently teamed up with Cradle of Filth vocalist Dani Filth, current Volbeat guitarist Rob Caggiano and drummer John Tempesta to form the supergroup Temple of the Black Moon, who are currently working on an album.

paragraph: Section::::Ideology and relationships with the broader metal scene.

paragraph: According to Gaahl - who was his contemporary for ten years spanning from 1999 to 2009 - he and King are friends with late Martin Eric Ain and Thomas Gabriel Fischer of the influential extreme metal band Celtic Frost.

paragraph: King has also been closely associated with Shagrath, Dani Filth, and Rob Caggiano of Anthrax.

paragraph: Since becoming more known to the broader black metal scene after joining Gorgoroth, he has also garnered numerous detractors.

paragraph: Gorgoroth guitarist Tormentor departed from the band in 2002 due to no longer being able to cooperate with King.

paragraph: Vocalist Pest clarified that he would probably not have liked to work with King when mentioning in a 2010 studio report by "Sheol Magazine" that he sometimes did wonder how it might feel to join the band again after having left in 1997.

paragraph: Fenriz of Darkthrone has openly expressed disdain for King many times, having held regard for him as one of the “ÜBERPOSERS […] constantly trying to destroy REAL metal”, and stated that he would not consider Darkthrone as black metal anymore “if what King ov Hell is doing is something anyone would call black metal. Let’s just say that we ditched the boat before all the "dead meat" sank it. Again. We play our own brand of "heavy-metal speed punk" now.” Fenriz in addition denounced King as exploiting Norwegian taxpayers' money by applying for "sick leave for months and months while touring and recording. That, my friend, is taking both MY money AND Norway's money." Darkthrone’s 2010 album "Circle the Wagons" was given the category number “ANTI-KING OV HELL 001”.

paragraph: After having interviewed King for "Black Metal: A Documentary", Bill Zebub expressed:

paragraph: [T]here were some characters who bore façades, like King from Gorgoroth. Again, my intention was to be a silent observer, as a documentary film maker, and my hope was that people would be able to detect the character flaws. I regret that now, ha ha - it would have been interesting to see how tough that guy was after getting bitch-slapped. After the interview was done, King made all kinds of silly demands, but they were out of fear that footage of him smiling would be used. King claimed to be part of the black metal scene and to be friends with some of the old schoolers, but when I talked to the old schoolers they did not have nice things to say about King, and he most quite often referred as a "newcomer." Just smells like "poser" to me. You really have to give me credit for biting my tongue in that one.

paragraph: Scrutiny over the legitimacy of King's claims to being a Satanist have been notably expressed by Blackmoon, who supported Gorgoroth founding member Infernus during the Gorgoroth name dispute. In an interview regarding his new band Ov Hell with Norwegian newspaper "Bergensavisen" in February 2010, which bore the headline "The Church Is More Satanist Than We Are", King himself said he was not a Satanist despite having claimed to be so elsewhere both beforehand and afterwards, instead claiming that “[w]e take seriously what is dark in nature and the human mind”, and that “[t]he music, the images, the lyrics — all this is part of an artistic expression. Many find it provocative and scary, yes, but to us it is only parables.”

paragraph: During a performance by Sahg at Garage, Bergen in September 2010, a member of the audience threw eggs at King, which was recounted with elation by Fenriz in an interview a few months later as the “Spinal Tap moment of the year”. Fenriz concluded “King ov Hell, apparently, IS Spinal Tap”.

paragraph: Mark Kiger

paragraph: Mark Winston Kiger (born May 30, 1980) is an American retired professional baseball infielder. Kiger made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut in the 2006 postseason, and never played in an MLB regular season game. He is the only player in major league history to have played his entire career in the postseason, and one of only three players to have made their major league debut in the postseason.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Kiger attended La Jolla High School in La Jolla, California. Out of high school, Kiger was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 27th round of the 1999 Major League Baseball Draft, but did not sign. He attended Grossmont College, then transferred to the University of Florida, where he played for coach Andy Lopez and coach Pat McMahon's Florida Gators baseball teams from 2000 to 2002. He developed a reputation as a hitter, with a .403 batting average, 104 hits and ninety runs scored, while drawing sixty walks, in 2002. After leading the team for three consecutive seasons in scoring, his 212 runs scored remains fifth on the Gators' career records list.

paragraph: The Oakland Athletics selected Kiger out of Florida as a fifth round selection in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft. Kiger was initially assigned to the Vancouver Canadians, where he hit .244/.346/.362 while moving to second base. He led Class A Short Season Northwest League second basemen in fielding percentage (.969). In 2003, Kiger hit .281/.375/.411 with the Modesto A's. He cracked 38 doubles, scored 95 and drew 77 walks while striking out 106 times. He led the Class-A Advanced California League in walks.

paragraph: In 2004, Kiger batted .263/.369/.355 for the Midland RockHounds of the Class AA Texas League and walked 78 times and was 3 for 13 with three walks for the Sacramento River Cats of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League. He led the Texas League in fielding percentage at second base (.979). The next season, he was back with Midland and had an almost identical season - .267/.360/.367, 68 walks and the league-leading fielding percentage at2B (.988). Starting another year at Midland in 2006, Kiger hit .307/.379/.450 and got a longer look at Sacramento (.233/.348/.330).

He was added to the Athletics roster in the ALCS after starting second baseman Mark Ellis was injured in the 2006 American League Division Series. Oakland had already suffered injuries to Bobby Crosby and Antonio Perez. The Athletics could have added Keith Ginter, but Ginter declared free agency shortly after the regular season ended, and the Athletics would have had to sign him to a contract to use him after Ellis was injured. The Athletics declined and added Kiger to the playoff roster. Kiger was released by Oakland after the playoffs.

paragraph: In , he played in the New York Mets organization and was invited to major league spring training by the Seattle Mariners in . In January , he signed again with the New York Mets. He retired after the season.

paragraph: Fujiwara no Michimasa

paragraph: was a mid-Heian period Imperial court noble and poet. He is included in the Hyakunin Isshu and was the nephew of Emperor Ichijo's wife, Empress Fujiwara no Teishi.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Raised by his grandfather, Fujiwara no Michitaka, who died in 995. His father, Fujiwara no Korechika, was promoted to Minister of the Interior (Naidaijin) the following year, but following an incident in which an arrow was shot at Emperor Kazan, he was demoted to the post of governor of Dazai. Michimasa lived during the downfall of his family's fortunes.

paragraph: In 1004, at the age of 14, he was conferred with the rank of Junior fifth rank lower. In 1011, he became a servant of the future Emperor Ichijo. In 1015 he became Lieutenant of the Guard for the Left. In 1016, at the time of Emperor Ichijo's accession to the throne, he was promoted to lower third rank. However, he was dismissed 8 days after taking up his new post. Furthermore, in September of the same year, when escorting the Imperial Princess Masako to Ise to become the sacred maiden, their affair was made known to her father the Retired Emperor Sanjo, who censured Michimasa heavily. According to the Eiga monogatari, Masako took the tonsure before her father's death, but according to the Shōyūki (小右記), she took the tonsure on November 13, 1017, six months after her father's death.

paragraph: On December 6, 1024, Emperor Kazan's daughter, Jōtomo-In was murdered in the night and her body was discovered the following morning. The following year a suspect was caught; however, the suspect confessed that he killed her on Michimasa's orders. The following year 1026, with the case still undecided, Michimasa was demoted from his posts. In July 1054 he took the tonsure and died shortly after.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Though he was described as a violent man in the Shōyūki, five of his poems were included in the Goshūi Wakashū and two were included in the Shika Wakashū, both Imperial anthologies.

paragraph: His poem included in the Hyakunin Isshu is commonly interpreted as Michimasa's response to being barred from visiting the Imperial Princess Masako after her father learned of their affair.

paragraph: Michimasa's relationship with the former Ise Priestess is mentioned in the Eiga monogatari in several places. The narrator draws a parallel between Ariwara no Narihira's relationship with a serving Ise priestess and Michimasa and Masako's relationship. However, the narrator points out that as Masako was no longer serving it was not as great an offense.

paragraph: Natascha Stellmach (born 1970 in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian artist.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: After completing a Bachelor of Applied Science (OT) in 1991, Natascha Stellmach worked part-time as a therapist in community health and pain management whilst making and exhibiting short films. She then went on to study photography at RMIT University in Melbourne. She lives between Melbourne and Berlin.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Natascha Stellmach works with image and text, across a range of media including installation art and happening. ”Stellmach’s dark investigations are a dance of image and text, in which hidden, emotive worlds are brought to life.” Her works ”blend documentary and fiction with a strong personal voice, utilising a constellation of media to tell intimate stories about the transience of life. It is this consistent interest in the emotional layers of her conceptual works that sets her apart.” Her work is often provocative and influenced by popculture. Amy Barrett-Lennard, director of the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Australia writes: "Stellmach’s works at first appear delicate and personal, familiarly archival even, yet they soon take us into dark terrain––violence, war, suicide, death. She invites us to share in a taboo, an unspeakable subject around which she has built a narrative. These tales are supported, it seems, by documentary evidence, yet are deliberately confusing in their authenticity.”

paragraph: Her works were shown at dOCUMENTA (13), the thirteenth edition of the quinquennial contemporary art exhibition.
