<mask> (26 April 18296 February 1894) was a German and Austrian surgeon and amateur musician. As a surgeon, he is generally regarded as the founding father of modern abdominal surgery. As a musician, he was a close friend and confidant of Johannes Brahms, a leading patron of the Viennese musical scene, and one of the first to attempt a scientific analysis of musicality. Early life and education
<mask> was born at Bergen auf Rügen in the Kingdom of Prussia, the son of a pastor. His father died of tuberculosis when <mask> was five years old. He attended school in Greifswald where he obtained his Abitur degree in 1848. <mask> was an indifferent student, and spent more time practicing piano than studying.Torn between a career as a musician or as a physician, he acceded to his mother's wishes and enrolled himself at the University of Greifswald to study medicine, but gave up the whole of his first term to the study of music; Professor Wilhelm Baum, however, took him with him to Göttingen, and his medical career was fixed. He then followed Professor Baum to the University of Göttingen, and completed his medical doctorate at the Frederick William University of Berlin in 1852. Along with Rudolph Wagner (1805–1864) and Georg Meissner (1829–1905), <mask> went to Trieste to study the torpedo fish. Career in surgery
From 1853 to 1860 <mask> was an assistant in Bernhard von Langenbeck’s surgical clinic at the Charité in Berlin. There he was also apprenticed to Carl Langenbuch. In 1860, <mask> accepted an offer from the University of Zurich to become the Chair of Clinical Surgery, becoming director of the surgical hospital and clinic in Zurich. The beginning of his career in Switzerland was unpromising: during his first semester of teaching, he had only ten students, and he himself said that the income he received from his private practice was insufficient to pay for his morning cup of coffee.His reputation quickly grew however; <mask> had an infectious personality, attracting both students and surgical trainees to his ranks. He was loved by his students, and was an effective undergraduate as well as graduate teacher. Students flocked to his lectures, and with the cooperation of energetic colleagues, he was able to raise the Medical Faculty of Zurich to a prominent position among German speaking schools in only a few years. While in Zurich, <mask> published his classic textbook Die allgemeine chirurgische Pathologie und Therapie (General Surgical Pathology and Therapy) (1863). At the same time he introduced the concept of audits, publishing all results, good and bad, which automatically resulted in honest discussion on morbidity, mortality, and techniques – with resultant improvements in patient selection. He was appointed professor of surgery at the University of Vienna in 1867, in succession to Franz Schuh; there, he practiced surgery as chief of the Second Surgical Clinic at the Allgemeine Krankenhaus (Vienna General Hospital). Though he laid the foundation of his fame at Zurich, it was in Vienna, a larger and more conspicuous theater, that he established himself as the power that he was in the surgical world.A speech he gave in 1875, protesting influxes of Jewish medical students, has been counted as one of the first events in the development of Viennese political anti-Semitism. During the Franco-Prussian War, <mask> did excellent work in the military hospital at Mannheim and Weissenburg, treating a variety of horrific battlefield injuries with aggressive and ambitious surgeries; he embodied his experience of war surgery in his Surgical Letters from Mannheim and Weissenburg. He was so impressed by the horrors of war that he was ever afterwards an ardent advocate of peace. On December 3, 1891, he delivered an address on the care of the wounded in war which made a profound sensation and led to large sums of money being voted by the Austrian legislative chambers for the provision of adequate means of succour for the wounded. He did not limit himself to surgery only, and conducted extensive research on an ailment that affected many surgery patients at the time: wound fever. His treatise on wound fever, Untersuchungen über die Vegetationsformen von Coccobacteria septica (1874; “Investigations of the Vegetal Forms of Coccobacteria septica”) concluded that the cause was bacterial; <mask> was quick to use antiseptic techniques in his surgical practice, and the number of surgical patients afflicted with wound fever greatly decreased. With the threat of fatal surgical infections lessened through his work and others’, <mask> proceeded to turn his attention to surgery and the pioneering field of altering or removing organs that had previously been considered inaccessible.An early adopter of the "white coat" (as shown in Seligmann's c.1890 painting), <mask> was directly responsible for a number of landmarks in surgery; in 1872, he was the first to conduct an esophagectomy, removing a section of the oesophagus and joining the remaining parts together. In 1873, he performed the first laryngectomy, completely excising a cancerous larynx. He was the first surgeon to excise a rectal cancer and by 1876, he had performed 33 such operations. By 1881, <mask> had made intestinal surgery seem almost commonplace. But his most famous accomplishment is unquestionably the first successful gastrectomy for gastric cancer. On January 29, 1881, after many ill-fated attempts, <mask> performed the first successful resection for antral carcinoma on Therese Heller, who lived for almost 4 months and died of liver metastases. He accomplished this operation by closing the greater curvature side of the stomach  and anatomizing the lesser curvature to the duodenum, in an operation that is still known as the Billroth I to this day.<mask>'s literary activity was widespread, with the total number of published books and papers of which he was the author numbering about one hundred and forty. He collaborated with Franz von Pitha on a Textbook of General and Special Surgery  (1882). To this, <mask> contributed the section on Scrofulosis and Tuberculosis, Injuries and Diseases of the Breast, Instruments and Operations, Burns, Frostbites, etc. <mask> passed his restless intellectual spirit to numerous distinguished students, creating the "Billroth School" of followers. No aspect of his profession seemed to escape his intense scrutiny, be it research, teaching, administration, or nursing. He not only had something valuable to say about each but often saw to it that his ideas became concrete reality. In all the spheres he sought to influence, he was guided by a belief in the unity of science and art, and by confidence in his own ability to effect change.<mask> was instrumental in establishing the first modern school of thought in surgery. He had radical ideas on surgical training, advocating a prolonged surgical apprenticeship on completion of medical studies consisting of preliminary work in hospitals followed by performing operations on cadavers and experimental animals. This would be followed by a 2-3 year assistantship in a surgical department with studies of the surgical literature and the acquisition of advanced practical skills. Among his disciples were the notable surgeons Alexander von Winiwarter, Jan Mikulicz-Radecki and John B. Murphy. William Halsted's pioneer surgical residency program was greatly influenced by <mask>'s own methods of surgical education. Music
<mask> was a talented amateur pianist and violinist. During his time in Zurich he regularly played string quartet with professional musicians such as <mask> and Friedrich Hegar.In 1865 he met Brahms for the first time when the rising composer and pianist played Robert Schumann's piano concerto and his own works in Zurich. After <mask> had moved to Vienna in 1867 they became close friends and shared many musical insights. Brahms frequently sent <mask> his original manuscripts in order to get his opinion before publication, and <mask> participated as a musician in trial rehearsals of many of Brahms' chamber works before their first performances. Brahms dedicated his first two string quartets, Opus 51, to <mask>. <mask> and Brahms, together with the acerbic and influential Viennese music critic Eduard Hanslick, formed the core of the musical conservatives who opposed the innovations of Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt. In the conflict, known as the War of the Romantics, <mask> supported Brahms, but was always fair and measured in his comments. "Wagner was indeed a very considerable talent in many directions," he wrote in 1888.<mask> started an essay called "Wer ist musikalisch?" ("Who is musical? "), which was published posthumously by Hanslick. It was one of the earliest attempts to apply scientific methods to musicality. In the essay, <mask> identifies different types of amusicality (tone deafness, rhythm-deafness and harmony-deafness) that suggest some of the different cognitive skills involved in the perception of music. <mask> died in Opatija, Austria-Hungary, before he could complete the research. Excelling at both his vocation and his avocation, <mask> never saw science and music as being in conflict.On the contrary, he considered the two to complement each other. "It is one of the superficialities of our time to see in science and in art two opposites," he wrote in a letter. "Imagination is the mother of both." Honours
In 1887 <mask> was made a member of the Austrian Herrenhaus, "House of Lords"; a distinction rarely bestowed on members of the medical profession. In 1888, <mask> was elected member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. Footnotes

<mask> (June 20, 1904 – February 25, 1936) was an American-Salvadoran biologist who conceived of, then conducted, the first scientific survey of fauna for the National Park Service between 1929 and 1933. <mask> was a pioneer in many ways, but especially for his holistic approach to wildlife management issues in the National Parks. <mask> and his colleagues spent years in the field researching wildlife issues, and advocating for an ecosystem-wide approach to managing species within, and bordering, the parks. The George Wright Society, founded in 1980, honors <mask>'s vision. Early life
<mask> was born in San Francisco, California. <mask>'s Salvadoran mother <mask> was born in San Salvador, and was from one of El Salvador's most powerful, and largest, families. <mask>'s father was <mask>, a descendant of a long line of San Francisco-based steamship captains who followed his family’s footsteps by establishing a thriving import/export business along the Pacific Coast.Both of <mask>'s parents died when he was still young, leaving him in the care of a great aunt, Cordelia <mask>, who encouraged his fascination with the natural world and his interest in science. Throughout his childhood, <mask> cultivated a practice of observing and recording the habits of wildlife, particularly birds. At the age of 16, <mask> started his studies in forestry and vertebrate zoology at the University of California, Berkeley under Professor Walter Mulford in Forestry and the renowned field zoologist, Professor Joseph Grinnell, head of the University's Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. During his studies, <mask> also worked in close contact with Grinnell's assistant, Joseph Scattergood Dixon, the museum's Economic Mammologist. All three would be <mask>’s mentors academically and professionally. During his time at the university, <mask> spent his summer vacations exploring California, the West, and beyond. In 1921, at the age of 17, he ventured north to Alaska.An early Sierra Club member, <mask> participated on the Club’s 1922 High Country trip out of Sequoia National Park and the Kings River Canyon. Subsequent summers found him visiting western National Parks in his worn out Model T Ford. In 1926, while still a student at Berkeley, <mask> accompanied Dixon on a collecting trip up to Alaska, sponsored by a wealthy East Coast naturalist, in search of the eggs of the elusive surfbird. The trip was a success, with <mask> becoming the first person to successfully locate a surfbird's nest. Career
In 1927, <mask> entered into the National Park Service and joined the staff of Yosemite National Park as Assistant Park Naturalist, working under Carl Parcher Russell. Through this work as well as his time spent in national parks throughout the west, <mask> became very concerned about what he would come to call “the problems caused by conflict between man and animal through joint occupancy of the park areas.” <mask> was particularly concerned about the excessive predator control practiced for years within parks and adjacent lands, poaching, the park service practice of feeding grizzly and black bears for entertainment, and the lack of adequate habitat and forage for wildlife species within parks (deer, elk, buffalo, antelope) due to unnatural park boundaries and the grazing of sheep and cattle within parks. In 1929, with the help of Joseph Dixon, <mask> convinced then National Park Service Director Horace Albright to approve a survey of the wildlife and wildlife issues in the national parks in the western U.S.The survey was a ground-breaking project which took root during the early years of the Great Depression; <mask> himself funded the survey and the salaries for his two colleagues, Dixon and Benjamin Hunter Thompson. The Wildlife Team of <mask>, Dixon, and Thompson (often accompanied by <mask>’s wife, Bee Ray <mask>), spent three field seasons visiting National Parks in their customized 1930 Buick, which they called “The Truck.”

The results were published in 1932 as Fauna of the National Parks of the United States, a Preliminary Survey of Faunal Relations in National Parks. Their follow-up publication, rounding out the two part "Fauna" series, Wildlife Management in the National Parks was published in 1934 and was soon adopted as official National Park Service policy. For the first time, the survey and reports established science as the basis for wildlife conservation in American national parks. In 1933, <mask> became the first chief of the newly-formed Wildlife Division of the Park Service. Under his leadership, and with the aid of Civilian Conservation Corp funding, each of the national parks began to survey and evaluate the status of wildlife on an ongoing basis in order to identify urgent problems especially in regards to restoration, conflict management, and rare or endangered species. During his brief <mask> wrote numerous articles and professional papers extolling the virtues of the National Parks and the need to maintain them in their “pristine” or “primitive” state.And how—with proper science-based management, strategic restoration, and expansion—the national parks could recover and steward their wildlife (and flora) while also accommodating increasing human visitation. Death and legacy
In February 1936, <mask> along with his friend and colleague Roger Toll (Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park), and several other park service members, were notified by the Secretary of the Interior that the President had designated them members of a Commission “…to formulate policies and plans for the establishment and development of international parks, forest reserves and wildlife refuges along the international boundary between Mexico and the United States.” After several successful days exploring what is now Big Bend National Park with park and forest representatives from Mexico, the American contingent moved west to look at other potential border parks. On February 25, <mask> and Toll died in an automobile accident near Deming, New Mexico. <mask> was 31. The Park Service was devastated by the loss of two of their most prominent colleagues. Had he lived, <mask> likely would have become one of America’s most influential conservationists. The historian Richard West Sellars called <mask>'s vision for the management of national parks "truly revolutionary, penetrating beyond the scenic façades of the parks to comprehend the significance of the complex natural world.” <mask> was also featured in Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan's 2009 documentary, "National Parks: America's Best Idea."The George Wright Society is named in his honor.

<mask> (4 May 1865 – 21 January 1947) was a leader and missionary in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He was ordained an apostle by church president Heber J. Grant on October 12, 1933, and remained a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until his death. Early life
<mask> was born on 4 May 1865, in Dublin, Ireland, to John and <mask>. While living in England, <mask> met Mormon missionaries in Liverpool and joined the LDS Church along with his three siblings and their widowed mother. The <mask> family immigrated to Utah Territory in 1875 and settled in Davis County, Utah, first in Bountiful and later in Centerville. At age 16, <mask> moved to Coalville in Summit County, where he worked in the coal mines for 11 years.His mother married George Hyrum Williams on July 25, 1878, and they had several children. In 1891, <mask> was elected constable of Coalville. In 1892, he served as a missionary in Wyoming under the direction of the Summit Stake. From December 1892 until June 1895, he served as a missionary in the British Isles, including time in the Liverpool Conference. He later served as a missionary in Iowa. In 1896, at the age of 31, <mask> was elected to the Utah House of Representatives; he served in the 1st Utah State Legislature. In 1898, <mask> became the attorney for Summit County.In 1902, Callis married Grace Elizabeth Pack, a granddaughter of John Pack, and they were the parents of eight children. Missions
<mask>, his wife, and their two daughters moved to Florida in 1905 to perform missionary work. Callis was soon admitted to the Florida bar, and he worked to defend church missionaries in legal cases, such as the 1907 case against George Perry in Darlington, South Carolina. In 1907, the <mask> family returned home to Utah, but were almost immediately sent back to the southern United States, this time with <mask> appointed to head the South Carolina Conference. In 1908, <mask> was called as president of the church's Southern States Mission, succeeding Ben E. Rich. He held this position until his call as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve in 1933. When he began his tenure as mission president, he presided over 250 missionaries spread across 10 states.Apostle
<mask> became an LDS Church apostle on 12 October 1933, filling the vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelvecreated by the death of James E. Talmage. <mask> served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve until his death, with Henry D. Moyle filling the vacancy created by his death. Richard E. Bennett wrote of Callis: "Today Elder <mask><mask> is an almost forgotten figure among younger members of the Church. Yet to those who knew him, he was utterly memorable." Nephi Jensen, a fellow missionary who worked with him in Jacksonville, Florida, wrote:

C. A<mask> in many respects [is] a very remarkable man. He is one of those heroic souls who have come up from the depths. A few years ago he was working in a coal mine in Utah, now he is a practicing attorney and has been admitted to the bar in two states.Without opportunities or aid from friends he has risen by the sovereignty of his determination to an enviable station in life. He not only acquired a knowledge of law by self effort but read widely on general subjects and trained himself in the art of public speaking. He is an able, pleasing and convincing orator. The guiding light and inspiration for Callis was always Jesus Christ. He once said, “From my earliest recollections to the present time I have always had an abiding and intense love for my Savior. I cannot read the story of His sufferings and crucifixion without shedding tears. As an apostle, Callis authored one book, Fundamentals of Religion (Deseret Book, 1945), a collection of seventeen lectures about the tenets of the LDS Church he gave over national radio in 1943.Death
<mask> died of a massive heart attack on 21 January 1947. His wife's death, which had occurred in October 1946, deeply affected Callis, and he never fully recovered from that loss. Callis died in Jacksonville, Florida, at the age of 81, the day after meetings were held to organize the church's first stake in the Southern United States. He referred to this event as the "crowning achievement" of his life. The day before he died, Callis told many at the church meeting that he saw his wife many times everywhere he went. That night, he wrote to his daughter: "The Lord gave me strength to go through with the organization. With his aid I am battling through.I feel that your mother is not far from us." Funeral services for Callis were held both in Jacksonville and in Salt Lake City. He was buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery. Quotes
"The awakening of the conscience is the grandeur of the soul." "In far too many cases riches and their owners change places—the riches own the owners. Money will become the master if it is not made to be the servant." “The greatest thrilling experience that you and I can ever have in our hearts will be on those occasions when deep down we receive the witness that our acts and our labors are approved by our Heavenly Father.”

"This is the world in which to cultivate righteous tendencies and just causes that will produce, in the world to come, results and harvests of perfection and heavenly fruit."Images

<mask>ora, or female professional wrestler, best known under the ring name <mask> (sometimes spelled "<mask>") She is working for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA). <mask> is a part of an extended wrestling family that includes her father <mask>, her brother who wrestles as El Oriental and her sisters, Esther, Alda, and <mask>. She is a former two-time holder of the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship with her brother El Oriental. Professional wrestling career
<mask> is the daughter of Alfonso "Acorazado" (Spanish for "Battleship") <mask> and was trained by her father as well as by Pepe Casas for her professional wrestling career. She made her debut in 1987 in Arena Azteca Budoka in Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico State, the building her father promoted at the time, under the name <mask>. In the early 1990s <mask> and her sister <mask> travelled to Japan to wrestle for All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling. On April 21, 1991 the <mask> sisters defeated Etsuko Mita and Mima Shimoda to win the AJW Tag Team Championship, making them the first Mexican team to hold a championship in Mexico.They would hold the titles until August 2, 1991 where they lost the title to Takako Inoue and Mariko Yoshida. After returning to Mexico she began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), occasionally touring in Japan. In 1997 she left CMLL to work for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) along with her sisters Esther, Alda and Rossy. She made her first pay-per-view appearance for AAA as <mask>, Alda and <mask> lost to the team of their sister Rossy, Xóchitl Hamada and Miss Janeth as part of the 1999 Verano de Escandalo. At the 1999 Guerra de Titanes event Cinthia and Alda teamed up with Faby Apache to defeat Rossy, Miss Janeth and Tiffany. She participated in the 2000 Reina de Reinas tournament, but was defeated in the semi-final by Xochitl Hamada. The following year she competed in the Reina de Reinas tournament once again, but was unable to make it past the semi-final match.At the 2003 Guerra de Titanes Moreno, El Oriental, Mascarita Sagrada and Pimpinela Escarlata defeated Faby Apache, Gran Apache, Mini Abismo Negro and Polvo de Estrellas in a Relevos Atómicos de locura match (Spanish for "Eight-man madness match"), a match that featured two teams of four, each composed of a male wrestler, a female wrestler, an Exotico wrestler, and a Mini-Estrella. In May 2004 she travelled Japan to wrestle for Hustle's HUSTLE-3 show, teaming with Mascarita Sagrada and Oscar Sevilla and Pimpinela Escarlata to defeat Faby Apache, Gran Apache, Mini Abismo Negro and Polvo de Estrellas. The following month she wrestled on her first Triplemanía event as she wrestled during Triplemanía XII, repeating the match she had participated in at HUSTLE-3 with the same results. In mid-2004 <mask> started a storyline feud with the Apache family, primarily Faby Apache and Gran Apache that lasted until 2009. On August 1, 2004, <mask> and El Oriental unsuccessfully challenged for the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship, losing to Gran Apache and Faby Apache. The teams subsequently clashed on several occasions, with the Apaches managing to retain the mixed championship each time. In 2005 the Apaches were forced to vacate the Mixed tag team titles, after which AAA held a tournament to crown new champions.<mask> and El Oriental defeated Gran Apache and Tiffany in the semi-final and then defeated Chessman and La Diabólica in a one-night tournament at Verano de Escandalo to become the new AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions. Over the next 779 days <mask> and El Oriental repeatedly defended the Mixed tag team title, including defending it on various independent shows. Their reign came to an end in November 2007 when they were forced to vacate the championship when <mask> suffered an injury and was unable to defend the titles. While <mask> was recuperating, Gran Apache and Mari Apache won the vacant title as well as turning técnicos (good guys) in the process. With the Apaches now playing the tecnico role both <mask> and El Oriental turned rúdo upon <mask>'s return when they attacked the Apaches after a match. <mask> and El Oriental regained the Mixed tag team title on September 14, 2008 at the Verano de Escandalo. The Dinastia <mask>'s second reign with the tag team title turned out to be as active as their first, in fact El Oriental once claimed they defended the titles around 150 times, although records do not support such a claim.In late 2009 both <mask> and El Oriental left AAA, losing the Mixed Tag Team title to Faby Apache and Aero Star as their last match for AAA. Subsequently <mask> and El Oriental both began working on the Mexican independent circuit. During the 2009 Guerra de Titanes show <mask> returned to AAA, siding with former opponent Faby Apache against La Legión Extranjera in the form of Sexy Star, Jennifer Blade, and Rain. As a result <mask>, Faby and her sister Mari Apache faced off against Sexy Star, Rain and Christina Von Eerie during the 2010 Rey de Reyes event, a match which <mask> won for her team by pinning Sexy Star. During a post Rey de Reyes interview Sexy Star claimed that the Apaches and <mask> were nothing but maids, which led to AAA booking a match between <mask>, Faby and Mari Apache against Sexy Star, Rain, and Blade in a Triplemanía XVIII match where the person pinned or submitted would have to be the winning team's slave for a month. At Triplemanía La Legión defeated <mask> and the Apaches, when Blade pinned Mari, thanks in part to biased refereeing by Hijo del Tirantes. Following the match Konnan ordered Mari Apache to begin her maid duty right away by cleaning up their dressing room.The stipulation expired on July 6, 2010. Personal life

<mask> (; 6 February 1905 – 31 October 1980) was a Czech actor, playwright and writer. Early life
Between 1916 and 1924, <mask> attended "reálné gymnasium" (equivalent to high school) in Křemencova Street in Prague (where his future business partner, Jiří Voskovec, also studied). He studied law at the Charles University Law School from 1924 to 1927, from which he made an early departure to begin his artistic career and forge one of the most important partnerships of his life. Career

Theater
His collaboration with Jiří Voskovec and Jaroslav Ježek lasted for more than 10 years. Their partnership was a platform for their numerous left-wing political satires, most notably in the Osvobozené divadlo (Liberated Theatre). The trio's work took inspiration from Dada, with its love of the absurd, a reaction against bourgeois values and the horrors of World War I. In the years leading up to World War II and the closure of Czechoslovak theatres, <mask>, Voskovec and Ježek were forced into exile in the United States in 1938, where Voskovec and Ježek remained for the rest of their lives.<mask> returned to his homeland five years later, and started a partnership with Miroslav Horníček. He also worked with famous puppeteer Jiří Trnka to write modern fairy tales. With his new business partner Miroslav Horníček at his side, he re-staged many of the plays he had created with Voskovec in the 1930s but set them in the political content specific to the time. Film

<mask> appeared in such films as Byl jednou jeden král (English: Once Upon a Time There Was a King), which was released in 1955, and made many political compromises to appease the Communist censors. The 1960s were a peak in <mask>'s career. From the creation of the ABC Theatre he moved to the City Theatres of Prague and then to the Musical Theatre of Karlin and Nusle. <mask> was originally cast by producer Harry Saltzman to play Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice.Upon his arrival at the Pinewood set, both producer Albert R. Broccoli and director Lewis Gilbert felt that he was a poor choice, resembling a "poor, benevolent Santa Claus". Nonetheless, in an attempt to make the casting work, Gilbert continued filming. After several days, both Gilbert and Broccoli determined that <mask> was not menacing enough, and recast Blofeld with Donald Pleasence in the role. Politics
<mask> signed the pro-reform manifesto 2000 Words in 1968. After the Soviet invasion of 1968, he and his wife immediately fled to Vienna along with many other Czechs at the time. After long deliberations he realized he had to go back, saying that his "home was his castle" and realizing that if he stayed abroad he would never work again. He returned to Czechoslovakia in early 1969.<mask> met with Voskovec for the very last time in Vienna, Austria in 1974. He had limited opportunities to perform in public until his death in 1980. His last public appearance was in Prague's Lucerna in 1977. He did not sign the Charter 77 proclamation, organized by Václav Havel, but in the end he succumbed to pressure from the Communist authorities and in order to be able to work again, publicly proclaimed his full loyalty to the regime, by attending "Anti-charta77" meetings and even signing a petition denouncing Charter 77. He later claimed he was tricked into signing and that he did not really know what his signature was for, as the original attendance document signed open entry was potentially substituted for a later "declaration of faith". Death

<mask> died on 31 October 1980 at the age of 75. Minor planet 2418 Voskovec-Werich discovered by Luboš Kohoutek is named after him and George Voskovec.There were not enough stories however and so it was renamed and other stories were added - some of them have been previously published and some are originals, from manuscripts and letters.

<mask> (born December 22, 1962) is an Argentine-American sportscaster and pundit who works in the United States providing Spanish-language commentary and analysis in sports. Cantor is well known among English-speakers for his narration of soccer matches and shouting "¡Gol! when one is scored. Outside of soccer commentary, he covers other sports as well. Cantor has dual citizenship with Argentina and the United States. Early life
<mask> was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He moved with his family to the Southern California area when he was a teen, where he attended San Marino High School and then graduated from the University of Southern California.<mask> is of Jewish descent. His mother was born in Romania and migrated to Argentina at the age of 13, while his father was born in Argentina. His paternal grandparents were from Poland, and fled during the Nazi occupation. His favorite team is Boca Juniors from Argentina. Professional career
<mask> is famous for his signature bellowing of "¡Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!" after a score in football. Jose Maria Muñoz, a famous Argentine journalist who began narrating on radio in the 1940s, is widely considered the father of "peligro de gol" "danger of goal being scored", "gol, gol, gol, gooooool", etc.His style has been imitated by prominent football narrators throughout Latin America and Spain. It stemmed from the desire to let families and friends who have stepped away from a game know that a goal has been scored. However, due to translation and cultural dissonance issues, it was largely absent from the lexicon of British play-by-play commentators. <mask> was the first to introduce this climactic scoring call to a U.S. audience while working at Univision, making him popular with English-speaking viewers. He first used it at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, but it became especially popular during the 1994 World Cup, which was held in the United States. <mask> made guest appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman during the '94 and '98 tournaments, and after the tournament was over. He was broadcasting from Paris for the Late Show during the 1998 World Cup.The call is now being sold as a ringtone on  Telemundo's website. He says that Diego Maradona's goal at the 1986 World Cup, in which he ran from midfield past five English defenders to score, brought tears to his eyes (Cantor was working at the game). That goal became known as the "Goal of the Century," and took place after the infamous "Hand of God" goal. The yell was also used in a Volkswagen commercial that aired in the U.S. around the time of the 1998 World Cup. Another unique line of Cantor's can be heard whenever a game reaches half-time or is over. He delivers the line, "El árbitro dice que no hay tiempo para más" ("The referee says there is no time for more"). Telemundo Deportes
Cantor currently works for Telemundo Deportes, NBC Sports's Spanish-language division, and does play-by-play for matches on both Telemundo and its sister cable network Universo.At the 2004 Summer Olympics, where Telemundo was the first-ever U.S. Spanish-language network to broadcast the Olympics, Cantor worked as both a studio anchor and the play-by-play announcer for baseball. He went to Telemundo after several years at Univisión. Telemundo's other anchor for the games, Jessí Losada, worked with Cantor at Univisión before also leaving. Also, Norberto Longo, <mask>'s longtime partner in the broadcast booth and Univision's lead sports analyst, took the same role at Telemundo until his death on April 21, 2003, of a heart attack at the age of 61. XM Satellite Radio, in partnership with Cantor launched a Spanish-language sports network. Cantor anchored Telemundo's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London from the network's studios in Hialeah, Florida. He was also the play-by-play announcer for football during the games.Futbol de Primera Radio Network

NBC Sports
Cantor's first English-language assignment was the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he called both men's and women's football for NBC, complete with his sig.

U.S. show Person of Interest used his 'Goooooooool' in the episode "Cura te ipsum." When Reese and Fusco confront the drug dealers at their apartment, there is a goal scored during a football match on the television.The famous "Gooooooool", seen in the U.S. on NBC's Deportes Telemundo network, can be heard in the background.

<mask> is an American urban policy analyst and academic, known as a leading proponent of the use of the private car over rail projects. He is the principal and sole owner of Wendell <mask> Consultancy/Demographia, based in the St. Louis metropolitan region and editor of three web sites, Demographia, The Public Purpose and Urban Tours by Rental Car. <mask> is a fellow of numerous conservative think tanks and a frequent op-ed commenter in conservative US and UK newspapers. <mask> generally opposes planning policies aimed at increasing rail service and density, while favoring planning policies that reinforce and serve the existing transportation and building infrastructure. He believes that existing transportation and building infrastructure reflect what people prefer, while his opponents argue that his positions are based more on a belief that road transport and low density are inherently superior and that public transport is a component of liberal city models he disagrees with politically. Biography
<mask> was appointed to three terms on the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission by Mayor Tom Bradley, and during his 1977 to 1985 service, he was the only member of the Commission who was not an elected official. His amendment to the 1980 Proposition A transit tax measure provided all of the local funding for Los Angeles urban rail projects, including the Blue Line light rail and the Red Line subway.Additional local funding was not obtained until a later 1990 referendum. Nonetheless, he often opposes urban rail systems because he claims that they have not reduced traffic congestion, which he claims is the principal justification that has been used for their construction. He was appointed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to fill the unexpired term of former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman on the Amtrak Reform Council and served from 1999 until the Council issued its final recommendations in 2002. He is vice president of CODATU, an international organization dedicated to improving urban transport in developing world urban areas.CODATU: Agir pour une mobilité soutenable dans les villes en développement | CODATU est une association de droit français qui anime un réseau international d'expertise sur les transports et la mobilité dans les villes des pays en développement He was also a member of the steering committee of the International Conference on Competition and Ownership in Land Passenger Transport, which held its 10th conference in Australia in 2007. <mask> is a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a senior fellow at the Heartland Institute, senior fellow for urban policy at the  Independence Institute (Denver) and holds similar titles in a number of additional conservative think tanks. He has an MBA from Pepperdine University and a BA in Government from California State University, Los Angeles. Urban planning
<mask> has also emerged as an opponent of smart growth, especially urban growth boundaries, impact fees, and large lot zoning, claiming they have a tendency to raise housing prices artificially and suppress economic growth.He has authored studies for conservative think tanks such as the Cato Institute, Heartland Institute, Heritage Foundation, and the Reason Foundation, and for industry groups such as the American Highway Users Alliance, a lobbying and advocacy group for automobile-based industries. He has also criticized land use policies in the Portland, Oregon area, noting that the area expanded its urban growth boundary to its intended 2040 area 38 years early due to political pressure and that housing prices have escalated substantially relative to incomes. Cox's consultancy firm Demographia publishes the 'Demographia International Housing Affordability Ratings' and Rankings early each year. The survey has been criticised because it focuses on only price and income, without reference to financing, and for making a number of assumptions some critics claim to be unfounded. Demographia indicates that its measure, the Median Multiple (median house price divided by median household income) has been recommended by the United Nations and the World Bank. This indicates a continuing issue in housing affordability debates, whether to focus on more permanent structural factors (such as price and income) or whether to include more volatile factors, such as financing costs. Demographia is also publisher of the a comprehensive listing of urban area (agglomeration) population and densities.The 6th edition published in 2010 includes all agglomerations with 500,000 or more population. Urban transport
<mask> believes that the goal of public transportation systems should be to provide mobility to those who do not have access to a car, and not to reduce traffic congestion. As such he believes that agencies should seek to obtain maximum value for every dollar of taxes and fees expended, using whatever transportation choices maximize ridership. He believes that competitive approaches (principally competitive contracting and competitive tendering) are most effective in this regard. <mask>'s transport site "The Public Purpose" claims it is not opposed to urban rail, but many of <mask>'s opponents strongly disagree. It instead argues that it is opposed to waste. The site claims that it would cost less to lease every new light-rail rider a luxury car than to build light-rail projects themselves; this has entered the planning lexicon as the "Jaguar Argument."He has suggested a correlation between personal mobility and income. He says public transportation does a "good job of getting people downtown and serving the low-income poor moving around the core, but it can't do any more than that." In response, representatives of the Sierra Club have called <mask> an "itinerant anti-public transportation gun-for-hire." His more recent transport activities oppose the claim that road congestion reduction is obtained from improving urban mass transit. Among other things, he claims his aim is to improve urban mobility through performance programs that obtain the greatest reduction in travel-delay hours for the public funding available. <mask> claims to be "'pro-choice' with respect to urban development," and asserts that "people should be allowed to live and work where they like," consistent with the Lone Mountain Compact, of which he was a signatory. Professional activities
<mask> has completed projects and made presentations in the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.He has served as a visiting professor at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris, France. He has lectured in numerous locations, such as the University of Sydney, the University of Toronto, the University of Paris and the Institute of Economic Affairs (London). He participated in a debate on land use and transport with Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer at a national RailVolution conference in 2001, and debated Andres Duany on land use policy at the first American Dream Conference in 2002. His commentaries have appeared in numerous publications, such as the Daily Telegraph (London), the National Post (Canada), the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Times, La Stampa (Turin) and the Australian Financial Review. The National Journal has twice honored his Public Purpose website as "one of the Internet's best transport sites". <mask>'s consultancy has worked for bus companies as well as for President George W. Bush's transition team. References

<mask>, (11 January 1914 - 10 January 2004; born <mask> in Leon, Spain) was one of the first women members of Opus Dei. A domestic worker by profession, <mask> was the first to join the Prelature of Opus Dei as an assistant numerary meaning that she dedicated herself professionally to caring for people and looking after the material needs of Opus Dei centers. From 1946 until her death, she lived in Rome, Italy where she collaborated first with Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, Opus Dei's founder, and later on with his successors <mask> and Bishop Javier Echevarría, in the domestic management of the first Opus Dei center there, later the movement's headquarters. Her process of canonization was opened in Rome on June 18, 2012 by Echevarría, at the request of many who knew and worked with her. Her mortal remains lie close to the tomb of Escriva, in the crypt of Our Lady of Peace Church in Rome. Biography
<mask> was born on January 11, 1914, in the village of Boca de Huérgano in Leon, Spain, the fifth of six children. Her father, <mask>, was a farm-laborer and her mother, Carmen Alonso, a home-maker.To support her family, at an early age <mask>yo began working as a housekeeper for the village doctor. In 1935, <mask>yo decided to look for better housework opportunities in Astorga, León, but the onset of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) caused her to have to return to her hometown. In 1940, <mask>yo moved to Madrid, once again in search of better opportunities. Through the help of the Daughters of Mary Immaculate for Domestic Service (a religious congregation founded by Vincentia Maria López y Vicuña and dedicated to helping young girls find employment in household work), <mask>yo got hired as a housemaid for the Marquess of Almunia, and later on for the Dukes of Nájera. In 1944, <mask> was still working for the Duke when she came in contact with Opus Dei. Josemaria Escriva, founder of the then-new Opus Dei movement, had turned to the Daughters for Domestic Service for help in hiring household employees for a student dormitory he was opening called the Moncloa Residence. The Mother Superior of the Domestic Service Daughters recommended <mask>, who happened to have some days off at the time.In spite of the low pay offered and her little desire to go, at the nun's insistence <mask>yo agreed to help out the residence for a few days. Later on, <mask>yo decided to give up the job at the Dukes of Nájera to devote herself full-time to the Moncloa, even though the pay there was lower and the working conditions significantly worse. Later on when asked why she did this, <mask>yo said that she was moved "to see how hard they worked" and that she was also impressed by Escriva and his teaching. Commenting on Escriva's The Way, <mask>yo recalled, "I was very enthused by [it]... With each thing that I heard, I thought, 'This is for me.' I liked it a lot and I read it all in one sitting - I couldn't go to bed without finishing it." On 14 March 1946, <mask> joined Opus Dei as an assistant numerary, meaning that, in addition to committing to live according to Opus Dei's spirit and "plan of life", she had decided to dedicate herself professionally to caring for the household needs of Opus Dei centers - cleaning, laundry, meals, and other aspects of care of the home - and thus contribute with her work of domestic service to Opus Dei's mission of spreading the universal call to holiness in ordinary life. Since an important consequence of Escriva's message of sanctifying any honest work looks in a special way to the care of the home, something which Escriva valued for its intrinsic relation to the family and education of children, <mask>'s decision to devote herself entirely to this endeavor is seen as a historical moment for Opus Dei.In December 1946, <mask> moved to Rome at Escriva's request to take charge of the domestic management of the first Opus Dei center there, a center which would later be Opus Dei's central headquarters. From Rome, her place of residence until her death in 2004, <mask>yo played a central role in the teaching and training of women from all over the world in the tasks that encompass the work of the home. Escriva spoke of this training in a famous interview, when asked about women who devote themselves to housework:
"The main aim of this (training) is to dignify the work of domestic staff in such a way that they can do their work with a scientific approach. I say 'with a scientific approach' because housework should be carried out as a true profession. We must not forget that there are people who have wanted to present this work as something humiliating, but it is not. No doubt, the conditions under which this work used to be done were humiliating and sometimes they still are, even today, when domestic staff are subjected in their work to the whim of an arbitrary employer who does not guarantee their rights, and who gives them low wages and no affection... Any job that is well done is a wonderful service to society, and this is as true of domestic work as it is of the work of a professor or judge. The only work that is not a service is that of a person who works for his own self-interest...I understand that work in the home is especially important because through it so much good or harm can be done to families."<mask> died in Rome on 10 January 2004, after battling illness for several years. The cause for her canonization opened 8 years later, on 18 June 2012 in Rome. On March 29, 2014, a conmemorative ceremony took place in <mask>yo's hometown of Boca de Huergano to honor the centennial of her birth. According to Javier Echeverría, the Prelate of Opus Dei, “On January 10, 2004, in the homily of her funeral mass, I stated that '<mask> has great importance for Opus Dei.' I was convinced then and with the passing of time becoming even more convinced of the important role that this woman has played and will play in the life of the Church and in society." Process of canonization
On June 18, 2012, Echevarría presided at the opening of the canonical process on the life and virtues of <mask> Hoyo. Jose Luis Gutierrez was named the postulator of <mask>'s Cause of Canonization.According to Gutierrez, "Presenting this kind of work as a path of holiness recognised by the Church will encourage the many faithful Christians who are enmeshed in the thousand circumstances of ordinary life and it is also a valuable contribution to the good of society." According to Echevarría, “<mask> was very important for Opus Dei, because of her faithfulness and her work well done, always with the humble desire to pass unnoticed, to ‘do and disappear.’ She took the Blessed Virgin Mary as her teacher, as Saint Josemaría had encouraged her, and because of this she was effective to the very end of her life. She wanted no glory or recognition, and she gave one hundred percent throughout her entire life." References

She received her J.D. degree from Yale Law School in 1986. Career

Early career
After graduating from law school, <mask> began her career in New York and by 1991 worked at her mother’s law firm, Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, assisting in unsuccessfully suing the Boy Scouts of America for sex discrimination on behalf of Katrina Yeaw, a girl who wanted to join the organization. While at her mother’s firm, <mask> also filed a child sexual abuse suit against the Roman Catholic Church and sued the LAPD.Later career
In 2001, <mask> left her mother’s firm, having developed a career in cable news punditry, eventually serving as a legal analyst on CBS News, CNN, HLN, and MSNBC, and appearing on The Early Show, The Insider, Dr. Phil, Dr. Drew, The Situation Room, Reliable Sources, The Joy Behar Show, Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell, and The Stephanie Miller Show. <mask> returned to practicing law in 2010 when she founded the Bloom Firm, a small, general-practice law firm that handles family, civil and criminal matters. She is licensed to practice law in both New York and California. At the Bloom Firm, <mask> has represented several notable clients, including model and actress Janice Dickinson in her defamation case against comedian Bill Cosby, as well as model and actress Mischa Barton in her revenge porn case. Model Blac Chyna later hired <mask> to obtain a temporary restraining order against socialite Rob Kardashian, with whom Chyna shares a daughter, Dream. Amid a series of sexual abuse allegations against powerful men in entertainment and media, and following a BuzzFeed report detailing a sexual harassment settlement paid out of Representative John Conyers’ office budget, <mask> represented Marion Brown, who spoke to BuzzFeed off the record and later came forward publicly to allege harassment by Conyers. Bill O'Reilly sexual harassment allegations

In 2017 <mask> represented three women accusing then-Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment.Jehmu Greene, a television commentator who had appeared on Fox News, also approached <mask> with sexual harassment allegations against O'Reilly, although she ultimately declined <mask>'s services. One of <mask>'s clients, Wendy Walsh, filed the complaint that led Fox News' parent company, 21st Century Fox, to initiate an investigation that resulted in O'Reilly's dismissal and the end of his eponymous program. Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations

During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, <mask> offered to represent four women who alleged sexual misconduct by then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. Two of these women came forward publicly with their allegations, including Jill Harth and <mask>ne, and two who did not, including a woman from Virginia and another woman who claimed Trump had raped her when she was thirteen years old. On November 2, 2016, <mask> canceled a press conference with the unnamed client, saying the client was scared because of death threats. According to <mask>, after this press conference, multiple donors contacted her with offers to cover accusers' relocation and security. <mask> felt an obligation to relay the offers to her clients.The Virginia woman said that donors had offered her as much as $750,000, but that she declined the offer. In a 2017 report, The New York Times identified the donors who contacted <mask> as David Brock's American Bridge 21st Century, which offered $200,000, and Susie Tompkins Buell, who offered $500,000. Harvey Weinstein and Roy Price sexual misconduct allegations

<mask> received significant media attention after film producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual misconduct in October 2017. While noting that Weinstein "denies many of the accusations as patently false," <mask> acknowledged advising Weinstein on power dynamics and harassment, calling him "an old dinosaur learning new ways." <mask>'s advisory role, which she assumed in late 2016, was pilloried for its dissonance with her prior representation of sexual assault victims, with some in the media calling her book adaptation deal with The Weinstein Company, signed during Weinstein's tenure as co-chairman, a conflict of interest. On October 7, 2017, two days after the initial article on sexual misconduct in The New York Times, <mask> stepped down from her advisory role amid mounting public criticism and friction with The Weinstein Company's board. According to emails obtained by The New York Times, <mask> had weighed responding to allegations against Weinstein with "photos of several of the accusers in very friendly poses with Harvey after his alleged misconduct."<mask> denied plotting to undermine the accusers. The Daily Beast later reported that <mask> had offered journalist Ronan Farrow opposition research on one of Weinstein's accusers, Rose McGowan, during his own reporting on Weinstein. In Farrow's 2019 book, he further claims that <mask> would report any information gleaned about his investigation back to Weinstein, and that she admitted to being "his people". A 2019 book by reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey contains a 2016 memo from <mask>, as well as 2017 billing statements for services rendered on Weinstein's behalf. These documents show how <mask> would proactively assist Weinstein in undermining his accusers. Shortly after resigning from Weinstein's team, <mask> fell victim to "email prankster" James Linton masquerading as Weinstein. In reply to the prankster, <mask> wrote that "[t]he new round of far more serious allegations were  not made known to me".Variety later reported that <mask> "was only aware of accusations of verbal remarks, behaviors, and temper tantrums" when she began advising Weinstein, and was unaware of more serious allegations of rape and sexual assault. Within weeks of the initial report in The New York Times, <mask> publicly apologized for her role advising Weinstein. <mask> also represented former Amazon Studios president Roy Price amid sexual harassment allegations, but said her representation of Price concluded before Price's accuser Isa Hackett "went public". The Daily Beast reported that <mask>, while representing Price, had attempted to disparage Kim Masters, The Hollywood Reporter'''s Editor-at-Large, to media outlets considering publishing Masters' report on the allegations against Price. <mask> had allegedly accused Masters of a conflict of interest for badgering Price to advertise on her KCRW show, a charge Masters denied. Kathy Griffin controversy and fallout

Following a controversial 2017 photo shoot in which comedienne Kathy Griffin clenched a severed and bloodied mask that resembled the face of President Donald Trump, <mask> held a joint press conference with Griffin, then her client, to address the controversy. Their appearance was widely panned in the media for its self-victimization and lack of focus.Amid fallout over <mask>'s role advising Harvey Weinstein, Griffin posted a Facebook video denouncing <mask> and her husband, Braden Pollock, for "exacerbat[ing] my personal situation". Griffin later publicly asked <mask> to stop calling her and denounced <mask> for "fame-whoring," a criticism of <mask>'s proposal for a joint media tour following their joint press conference. According to Griffin, <mask> also charged exorbitant legal fees, which Griffin estimated were $40,000 for two days' representation, including by defense attorney Dmitry Gorin, whom <mask> allegedly hired without Griffin's consent.

<mask>ems Altemps (1533–1595) was a German Roman Catholic bishop and cardinal. The addition of Altemps to the family name reflects Alt-Ems (or Alt-Embs) itself deriving from "Alta Embs" (Latin for "altus" = high), like the modern name Hohenems (High Ems in German). Early years, 1533-60

<mask>ems was born in Hohenems in 1533, the son of <mask> and Chiara de' Medici (daughter of Bernardino de'Medici and Cecilia Serbelloni), a distant relative (or none at all) of the Florentine House of Medici. His mother was the sister of Giovanni Angelo Medici (Pope Pius IV). Her sister, Margherita, married Gilberto Borromeo, Conte d' Arona. He was the cousin of Cardinals Giovanni Antonio Serbelloni and Charles Borromeo. He was the uncle of Wolf Dietrich Raitenau (Wolfgang Theoderic)  and <mask>ems, who were both Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, in 1587-1612 and 1612–1619 respectively.Nothing is known of any formal education he might have received. As a young man, he fought in the Italian War of 1551–1559 under the command of his uncle Giangiacopo de' Medici, one of the last of the Renaissance condottieri. He also fought against the Ottoman Empire. In 1552 he participated in Charles V's efforts to win Metz back from France, and in 1554/55 he was present at the siege of Siena and repulsed an Ottoman attack on the Tuscan port of Piombino. He became a Knight of the Order of Santiago. He had a natural son, Roberto, whom he later legitimized. Bishop, 1560-61
His uncle Giovanni Angelo Medici was elevated to the papacy on 26 December 1559,  taking the name Pius IV.He proved generous in providing benefices for his Italian and German nephews. On March 23, 1560, <mask> <mask>ems became a cleric in the Apostolic Camera. He was appointed Bishop of Cassano by his papal uncle on May 29, 1560, and was named Administrator of the diocese until he reached the canonical age for consecration as a bishop. He was consecrated by his cousin Charles Borromeo not earlier than 1564 and no later than February 1566. He resigned the government of the Diocese of Cassano on May 11, 1561, at the request of his uncle, who had named him a Cardinal and who had a more important See for him. In order to ensure that the Council of Trent resumed as the Pope wished, by Easter of 1562, he served as papal legate to Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor and Ferdinand, King of the Romans to persuade them to lend their assistance both for the reopening of the Council and for the attendance of as many bishops as possible. Cardinal, 1561-95

His uncle Pope Pius IV made him a cardinal deacon in the consistory of February 26, 1561.He received the red hat and the titular church of Santi Apostoli (as a deaconry pro illa vice, that is to say, that on this one occasion, by special papal order, the Basilica of the XII Apostles, which ordinarily belonged to a cardinal priest, was to be considered a deaconry so that Cardinal <mask>, a deacon, could hold it) on March 10, 1561. It was because he had been created a cardinal in the See of Rome that he resigned the See of Cassano. The cathedral chapter of Konstanz Minster elected him to be Bishop of Konstanz, and he was preconized as bishop by Pius IV on October 24, 1561. The pope subsequently made him perpetual legate in Avignon. He also became archpriest of the Lateran Basilica, now called the Papal Archbasilica of St. John Lateran. On November 10, 1561, he was appointed legate to the Council of Trent, and on December 27, 1561, governor of Fermo. He opted for the order of cardinal priests on July 30, 1563, keeping Santi Apostoli as his titular church and dropping the temporary designation as a Deaconry.He was subsequently appointed governor of Norcia and Monte Leonis on October 3, 1564; as legate in Marche on November 1, 1564; and as governor of Ascoli Piceno on November 3, 1564. In 1566, he served as papal legate to the Diet of Augsburg. On May 15, 1565, he opted for the deaconry of San Giorgio in Velabro, raised pro illa vice to the status of a titular church. On August 18, 1565, he became governor of Ancona and on November 11, 1565, governor for life of Stroncone, Umbria. He was the governor of Capranica, Lazio from 1565 to 1568. In each case, others governed on his behalf, though he collected a considerable part of the income of the offices. He was a participant in the papal conclave of 1565-66 that elected Pope Pius V.  In February 1566, he received leave to depart from Rome to Konstanz.In Konstanz he conducted a diocesan Synod in September. In 1577 he authorized the publication of the Catechism of Pius V in his diocese. He was also eager to introduce the Jesuits into the Diocese of Konstanz, and corresponded with the Jesuit General Alfonso Borgia on the subject, though the project was long in bearing fruit. He returned to Rome to participate in the papal conclave of 1572 that elected Pope Gregory XIII. In 1568, Marco Sittico bought a property in Rome that he immediately set about rebuilding as the Palazzo Altemps, to designs by Martino Longhi the Elder; he also built the Villa Mondragone at Frascati. He assembled a formidable collection of Roman antiquities and sculptures. He opted for the titular church of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri on October 3, 1577; for the titular church of San Pietro in Vincoli on October 3, 1578; for San Clemente on August 17, 1579; and for Santa Maria in Trastevere on December 5, 1580.He participated in the papal conclave of 1585 that elected Pope Sixtus V. Sometime before July 31, 1589, he resigned the government of the Diocese of Konstanz. Because of illness, he resigned as legate in Avignon on June 4, 1590. He subsequently participated in the papal conclave of September 1590 that elected Pope Urban VII; the papal conclave of October–December 1590 that elected Pope Gregory XIV; the papal conclave of 1591 that elected Pope Innocent IX; and the papal conclave of 1592 that elected Pope Clement VIII. In November 1592, he became legate in Viterbo. Death and legacy
The powerful cardinal died in Rome on February 15, 1595. He was buried in Santa Maria in Trastevere. He had guided the education and early career of his nephew, <mask> <mask>ems (Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg) (1574–1619).However, Lutheranism spread through his home area, under the patronage of the Counts of Hohenems, and the area was devastated by the Thirty Years' War and plague. His illegitimate son Roberto was made Duke of Gallese, took the family name of Altemps, and married Cornelia Orsini. References

<mask> (born August 27, 1942), better known as <mask>, is an American songwriter, musician (bass, guitar and keyboards), and record producer, whose most famous work was during the 1960s. He was the bassist of the Turtles for a short period of time and the producer of some of the Monkees biggest hits, including "Daydream Believer" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday". Early career
<mask> was raised in Hawaii and began his musical career with a folk group he formed in high school, "The Wilcox Three", modeled after The Kingston Trio. During a trip to California, they were discovered by a well-known booking agency and signed by RCA/Camden to record an album at their studios in Hollywood. He performed in the group using the name "<mask>", which would be the name he would use for the rest of his career (though he would occasionally use his real name as a songwriter). The group dissolved and <mask>, along with Cyrus Faryar and noted rock photographer Henry Diltz, formed the Modern Folk Quartet (along with musician Jerry Yester) in Los Angeles. They were signed by Warner Bros. and recorded two albums: Modern Folk Quartet and Changes.They also appeared as themselves in a nightclub scene for the Warner Bros. movie Palm Springs Weekend, starring Connie Stevens and Troy Donahue (1963). MFQ spent the next several years touring the U.S. playing college concerts. The Modern Folk Quartet was signed by producer Phil Spector in 1966, and recorded a song, "This Could Be the Night", co-written by Spector and up-and-coming singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. The record was not released at that time, but <mask> and Nilsson became friends. In the latter half of 1966, <mask> was a member of the short-lived Gene Clark Group, a band featuring the ex-Byrds Gene Clark, ex-Grass Roots Joel Larson, and Bill Rinehart, formerly of the Leaves. Clark disbanded the group at the end of that year without having recorded or released any records. The Turtles
When the Turtles' bassist Chuck Portz was fired from the band, <mask> was asked to take his place.His first record with them was "Happy Together", which they'd decided to record after hearing a well-worn demo that had been passed on by numerous other artists. <mask> played bass and did the arrangement that was recorded, and it became a huge hit for The Turtles, ousting the Beatles' "Penny Lane" from the #1 single position on the American pop charts. Seeing the Turtles perform at Hollywood's Whisky a Go Go in early 1967, the Monkees' Michael Nesmith approached <mask> and asked if he would like to become the new producer for the band, who were tired of the "manufactured" recording setup they were accustomed to. <mask> answered, "I've never produced a record in my life." Nesmith, who had produced album tracks for the group, but had little influence with their label Colgems Records, assured him, "Don't worry; if you're willing to quit The Turtles, I'll show you everything you need to do." <mask>'s final appearances with the Turtles were in February 1967. He was replaced by Jim Pons of the Leaves.The Monkees
<mask> accepted Nesmith's offer, and joined the Monkees in the studio, first to create a new single with all four Monkees playing. It couldn't be released because of a publishing restriction imposed by Screen Gems (who both produced the Monkees series and controlled their music publishing). <mask>'s next Monkees project was their Headquarters album. Recorded over six steady weeks of sessions at the RCA Studios in Hollywood, Headquarters was the first album to feature the Monkees playing on every track. <mask> contributed a song, "Forget That Girl", and joined them on bass guitar in the studio. The album was released in the spring of 1967, and began a steady climb up the charts, eventually reaching #1 on Billboard's album chart, but was displaced by the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.No singles from Headquarters were issued in the United States, but a non-album song from the same sessions, "The Girl I Knew Somewhere", reached the top 40 as a B-side. <mask> produced the hit single "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King), which featured an innovative guitar intro composed by <mask> and played by Nesmith. <mask> produced the next Monkees' album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones, Ltd., on which he also played bass. Unlike Headquarters, it was done in several different studios around the U.S. between Monkees tour dates. <mask> also introduced members of the Monkees to new songwriters, including John Stewart, who wrote "Daydream Believer", which would become their second-biggest all-time single and was included on the 1968 album The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees. <mask> also introduced the band members to Harry Nilsson, who played them a selection of his original songs, and became friends with the band. One of the songs, "Cuddly Toy", was covered by the Monkees, and featured on both the Pisces album and an episode of their TV series.<mask> has been quoted as saying, "I like to think I gave Harry his big break, which resulted in a record deal with RCA." <mask> was pleased to have made hit records with the Monkees, but was disappointed that they weren't able to erase the common misconception that The Monkees weren't actually musicians, and that the press took little notice of their accomplishments. The Turtles, revisited
As 1967 ended, the Monkees wanted to take full control of their music, and said farewell to <mask>, who became a producer for the Turtles. The first project was The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands album, the name of which was taken from the title track, co-written by <mask> and Harry Nilsson. It also included two more Turtles' top-ten hits: "Elenore" and "You Showed Me". <mask> had performed "You Showed Me" with Gene Clark in 1966, while he was a member of the Gene Clark Group. Originally an uptempo number, the slow, moody arrangement came about by accident.<mask> was demonstrating the song for vocalists Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, on an organ whose bellows was broken, requiring him to play it slowly. <mask> told them "This isn't the way it's supposed to sound", but Kaylan and Volman disagreed, thinking the new tempo would be perfect. The Monkees, revisited
<mask> kept in touch with the Monkees and returned in 1969 to record his composition "Steam Engine" with Micky Dolenz on vocals. The song appeared in reruns of their TV show. In 1976, <mask> re-teamed with Dolenz, Jones, and Tork to record the single, "Christmas Is My Time of Year", co-written by <mask> and Howard Kaylan. By then, Nesmith was no longer affiliated with the group. In 1986, a Monkees reunion tour reawakened interest in the band, and Rhino Records reissued all their original albums, including their work with <mask>.<mask> has appeared in several documentaries about the Monkees, reminiscing about his work with the band. Post Monkees
In 1969, <mask> produced the album Hand Sown...Home Grown, the first solo album by <mask>' then-girlfriend Linda Ronstadt. The Modern Folk Quartet reunited in 1975 and began to perform again, often appearing at the Ice House in Pasadena, California. For several years, they teamed up with ex-Kingston Trio member Dave Guard to back him in his solo act. In the 1980s, the Modern Folk Quartet recorded several albums for a Japanese record company. They also toured Japan, where they remain popular (1988, 1990, 2003, 2005, 2011 and 2016). <mask> continues to write and produce records in a variety of genres, and divides his time between California and Hawaii.Bibliography
