 <mask> is also known for spending long periods to research and pick the cast for her films. She immerses herself in the lives of her subjects and spent four years researching her subject and the mistreated children in Beirut. For her film Capernaum, she gave her actors minimal direction and used hand-held cameras to capture life in the streets of Lebanon.For her film Caramel, she spent almost a year searching for women who resembled her characters. She purposely did not want professional actors, she explained, and the spontaneity of each authenticates the plot of women supporting each other as they cope with their problems. The filmmaker amassed months of raw footage, which she later edited down to just over two hours. <mask> states that she was inspired by the photo of a 3-year-old Syrian refugee whose lifeless body sparked outrage around the world. Stating, "I remember thinking if this child could talk, what would he say, and how would he address the adults that killed him?" she says. "I wanted to become their voice, their vehicle for them to express themselves."In a 2012 interview with Jan Lisa Huttner from FF2 Media, <mask> said: "I have a problem with injustice. I have a problem with seeing the wrong things around me and just not saying anything about them". She likes to address relevant issues and portray them through her art, be it acting, directing, or even dance. Her movie Where Do We Go Now? heavily incorporates dance, and in the same interview with FF2 Media, she mentioned that she has a background of being a dancer. Personal life
<mask> is multilingual, fluent in Arabic, French, English and Italian. In 2007, she married musician and composer Khaled Mouzanar.In 2009, <mask> <mask> gave birth to her first boy, Walid. Seven years later (2016), <mask> gave birth to a daughter, Mayroun. In 2016, <mask> received an honorary degree from the American University of Beirut and was the speaker at the 150th Commencement Ceremony. Politics
<mask> <mask> was a candidate on the list of the new political movement Beirut Madinati for the capital's May 2016 local election. Beirut Madinati focuses on social justice and the good of the public utilizing a diverse group of citizens as representatives. Despite achieving about 40% of the popular vote, the movement lost against its opponent, the 'Beirutis' list' supported by Saad Hariri, in all 6 out of 12 wards, but did not gain a single seat under the election's one-district First-past-the-post system.

<mask> (3 November 1896 – 20 August 1990) was a Canadian palaeontologist. She was a professor at the University of Toronto, where she taught vertebrate studies in the department of Geology. <mask>'s writing on the fossil Bryozoa along with her research on the stratigraphy of Toronto and the surrounding areas were major contributions to the geological field. <mask> was one of the pioneering researchers on the Palaeozoic fossil Bryozoa, which is a type of sea creature that bonds together and builds joint skeletons composed of tiny chambers or tubes. Her work on these creatures later lead to her being called the “great-grandmother of Palaeozoic Bryozoa". Her scientific journals on these extinct marine invertebrates are internationally acclaimed. <mask> worked at The Royal Ontario Museum as an associate director from 1936 to 1955, and later became the Invertebrate Palaeontology Curator at the ROM from 1955 to 1957.In 1956, she became a palaeontology professor at University of Toronto under the Department of Geology until her official retirement in 1967. <mask> was a member of the Geological Association of Canada and the Geological Society of America. She also was a member of the Canadian Confederation of University Women and the International Federation of University Women Panel of Experts. Early life
<mask> was born in Saint John, New Brunswick. Growing up she developed a fascination towards the geological formations, like mountains, of her hometown. Her father was a sea captain, so she spent many of her early years in and around the ocean. As a young girl she often played on the beach with marine life, which sparked her initial interest in fossil invertebrates.<mask> studied Arts and English at McGill University in Montreal. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1919, she went on to teach at Elmwood Private Girls School in Ottawa, Canada. While living in Ottawa, she met palaeontologist Alice Wilson. Wilson was an assistant palaeontologist at the Geological Survey of Canada, which was based out of Ottawa. Wilson was the first woman in Canada to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (in 1942, <mask> would become the second). When they met, Wilson was preparing to embark on a geological expedition to Lake Winnipeg. Due to strict gender rules of that time, Wilson would not have been permitted to travel with any male colleagues.Therefore, she invited <mask> to join her on the expedition as her assistant while school was out for the summer. <mask> signed up as a "cook and canoe man," and accompanied Wilson for the six-week expedition in Manitoba. After returning from her expedition with Wilson, <mask> remained a teacher at Elmwood for one more year before deciding to enroll in the geology program offered at the University of Toronto. She was the only woman in the Geology program at that time. Academic career
While attending the University of Toronto in 1920, <mask> was the only female graduate student in the geology department. Despite this, <mask> mentioned that she felt accepted by those in her class and that no one ever tried to deter her from pursuing her degree in geology. She completed her M.A.in 1923 and her Ph.D. in 1926, making her the first woman in Canada to have ever received a Ph.D. within the geology/palaeontology field. In 1927, <mask> was hired as an assistant at the Royal Ontario Museum of Palaeontology, which was affiliated with the University of Toronto. This position made her the only female geologist in Canada to hold an academic position in the field of geology during the interwar years. In 1935, <mask> was hired as an assistant professor in the geology department at the University of Toronto. In 1955, <mask> became the curator of the Department of Invertebrate Palaeontology of the Royal Ontario Museum of Palaeontology. She was the first woman to hold this position. In 1956, <mask> became a full professor at the University of Toronto.It is important to note that it took over twenty years for her to be promoted from assistant professor to full professor; this demonstrates lateral segregation. She ended up juggling fieldwork, teaching and administrative duties for a good part of her career. <mask> officially ended her career with retirement in 1967, but she continued to research human evolution and origin of the Earth for the majority of her life. She also took part in a lot of fieldwork over the course of her career which was opposed quite strongly by the Geological Survey. <mask>'s career was a reflection of a successful female academic breakthrough in a field mainly dominated by males since it was associated with rugged work like mining and exploration. She broke barriers regarding female gender roles of getting married and raising children as a career, and instead pursued her graduate degree. <mask> continued these accomplishments through participating in field work and publishing numerous research paper's while actively maintaining her administration and teaching roles.She has inspired many students through her work, like Mary Turner. It is possible that <mask> may have been trying to encourage her protégées to pursue doctoral studies so that there would be a strong cohort of women trained to replace her prior to her retirement. However, some female students may not have wanted to make the personal sacrifices that many of the early women in geology had made in terms of remaining single and focusing solely on their careers. Commemoration
<mask>'s contribution to palaeontology is remembered during the "<mask> Annual Lecture in Palaeontology" event where namely women guest speakers discuss advancements in the geological field. It is also a space for discussion about new research and findings in the field. This event is held at the Royal Ontario Museum. Additionally, the Royal Ontario Museum has an annual travel grant that <mask> had created a fund for.Each year, two grants are given out to students furthering their education in palaeontology. Up to 1,000 dollars is awarded for each grant. It is used to lighten the financial burden for the students so that they can attend the Royal Ontario Museum and examine their artifacts and fossils. The grant is called the "M.A Fritz Travel Grant", having been named after her. Honours
<mask> received several honours throughout her lifetime. In 1942 she entered the Royal Society of Canada as the second woman to receive such honour within Canada. In 1967, <mask> received the Canadian Centennial Medal.In 1975, <mask> was one of 19 Canadian female scientists honoured in a display at the National Museum of Natural Science. In 1977 Toronto awarded her a distinguished service award. Publications
Throughout her lifetime, <mask> wrote many different research papers, composing over sixty of them between the years 1923 and 1927. Her main research was on the topic of Canadian faunas and fossils, specifically she made significant contributions to research of Palaeozoic Bryozoa. From 1922 to 1927 <mask> worked with Dr. William Arthur Parks alongside other students and paleontologists to compile an inventory of fossils from the Upper Ordovican stratigraphy found in the Credit River area. This work was published from 1923 to1927 in 6 different papers by the Ontario Department of Mines and are still cited today as definitive works on the subject. In 1937, <mask> authored a journal entry in the field of Palaeontology named "Multisolenia, A New Genus of Palaeozoic Corals" while at the University of Toronto.She described a new genus Multisolenia, a coral found in the Silurian of the Lake Timiskaming-district in northern Ontario. The genotype described was Multisolenia tortuosa <mask>. Two years later she provided further evidence for the distinction of the new found genus. <mask> wrote a paper on the redescription of Trepostomatous bryozoan types that came from the Upper Ordovician rocks of Toronto and its surrounding areas. In addition, she redescribed type specimens from the Bryozoan Heterotrypa from Upper Ordovician rocks that came from the Credit River Valley area in Ontario. She studied the species Atactoporella, Homotrypa, and Homotrypella. These bryozoan types are situated at the Royal Ontario Museum in the Department of Invertebrate Paleontology.She also redescribed a variation of the genus S. catenulata diversa as Mesotrypa catenulata diversa. Additionally, she redescribed bryozoan-type samples which gathered from the marine rocks surrounding Workman's Creek. It was during the time that <mask> studied under renowned palaeontologist William Arthur Parks that she took on a leadership role in the North American study of Ordovician Bryozoa. She was very grateful to have been able to be mentored by Parks, and she demonstrated her gratitude by writing a biography of him that was published in 1971. Bibliography

is a Japanese singer, produced by Takeshi Kobayashi. She debuted in 2000 as the fictional singer Lily Chou-Chou for the film All About Lily Chou-Chou, and later debuted as a solo artist in 2004. She is best known for her charity single collaboration with Bank Band in 2006, "To U." <mask> has also worked as a voice actress for the Japanese-language version of the game Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (2007), in which she voiced the character  (known as Babette in the English version). In 2011, <mask> embarked on a new solo project going by the name . Biography

Much of <mask>'s personal information and history has not been revealed publicly. Her official website's profile, for example, only lists her musical releases and commercial tie-ups, as opposed to her background.However, she has revealed two personal facts about herself in her blog: her first name is  and that she has four siblings. Her older brother,  is a former professional rugby union player, for the Toshiba Brave Lupus team. <mask> learnt piano from a young age, however abruptly stopped these lessons in junior high school. <mask> began singing in elementary school after contracting pneumonia. On advice by her doctor to regain her lung strength, she was enrolled into a choir. In 1998, while attending high school in outer Tokyo, <mask> was inspired to become a singer after watching a friend performing at a live house. <mask> auditioned in high school for a Sony musician audition and was accepted, later attending a Sony music training facility.Music producer Takeshi Kobayashi happened by chance to see a talking/singing audition video of <mask>, and 30 seconds into the tape, he was so impressed that he decided to meet her the next day. Kobayashi decided to work with her, and the pair soon began making demo tapes together. He gave her the stage name Salyu, which he chose as it was similar to the French greeting salut. Kobayashi was at the time preparing a soundtrack to Shunji Iwai's online novel and later film, All About Lily Chou-Chou. The novel and film centred around a fictional singer, Lily Chou-Chou, who began releasing actual music in 2000. The project was a collaboration between Iwai, Kobayashi and <mask>, as the vocalist for the project. This project allowed <mask> to perform on prominent music shows Hey!Hey! Hey! Music Champ and Music Station in June 2000. After the release of the film in 2001, the group ceased to release music. <mask> began to perform concerts as a solo artist, performing on average once every two months due to her lack in self-confidence in her live performance skills. Kobayashi continued to work with her during this period, giving her music, and was the one who allowed her to debut as a singer in 2004. Her debut single was a collaboration with Ilmari from the hip-hop group Rip Slyme, called "Valon."<mask> later released a solo version of this song, "Valon-1," several months later. <mask>'s second solo single "Dialogue" was awarded the Space Shower Best New Artist Video for 2004. After four singles, <mask> released her debut album Landmark in June 2005, which reached No. 22 on Oricon's weekly albums charts. Two days later, <mask> performed her first one-man live, at the Shibuya Club Quattro. In 2006, <mask> reached a much greater audience through the Bank Band charity single "To U," in which she was a featured vocalist. The single was extremely successful, reaching number 2 on Oricon's single charts and being certified platinum.Her next singles "Name" and "Platform" (the film Metro ni Notte'''s theme song) were her first solo singles to chart in the top 20. <mask>'s second studio album Terminal was her first top 10 release, charting at number 2. Her 2007 singles "Liberty" and "Iris (Shiawase no Hako)" were her first works not to feature Kobayashi, instead were self-produced and co-written with Zentaro Watanabe. In late 2008, <mask> released her first greatest hits album, Merkmal, that marked 10 years since meeting Kobayashi. This was followed by her first performance at Budokan, during her tour for Merkmal. In 2009, <mask>'s single "Corteo (Gyōretsu)/Halfway" became her first top 10 single. In 2010, <mask> released her third studio album, Maiden Voyage, which was her first self-produced album.<mask>'s fourth album, although the first as salyu × salyu, S(o)un(d)beams, was released in 2011. It is a special collaborative concept album with Cornelius, exploring to what extent <mask>'s voice can be used as an instrument. A fifth studio album, Photogenic, was released in 2012. Musical approach

<mask> originally considered herself more of a vocalist as opposed to a musician, and early on in her career held a stance that she would be a singer who did not write her own material. She did not believe her compositions would be the best quality. In her first album, Landmark, all of the songs were written and produced by Takeshi Kobayashi. Her lyric contributions on the album were mostly suggestions for lyrics that could be better phrased.<mask> was encouraged through much of her career by other musicians to try to write her own music, however she mostly ignored the suggestions, until a musician told her it would let her understand her fellow musicians better. She began branching into musicians other than Kobayashi in 2006, when musicians Yo Hitoto and Sarasa Ifu wrote lyrics to the songs on her "Tower" single. Her first song with her billed as the lyricist was "I Believe," from her 2007 album Terminal. Her 2007 singles "Liberty" and "Iris (Shiawase no Hako)" were her first works to be self-produced and her first singles to feature her own lyrics, though <mask> wrote the songs in collaboration with musicians Tatsuya Kokufu and Zentaro Watanabe. This was also the first time <mask> has not worked together with Kobayashi on a music release. 2010's Maiden Voyage was the first album of <mask>'s to be self-produced. It featured predominately writing by Kobayashi, however six songs featured lyrics by <mask>, two music by <mask>, and one, "L.A.F.S.," was arranged by <mask>.Discography

He was a pioneer in understanding the etiology and consequences of sexual compulsivity (now often referred to as hypersexuality) for GBMSM as well as having produced influential work on topics ranging from understanding intentional condomless sex (i.e., barebacking) and methamphetamine use to developing efficacious interventions to reduce substance use and HIV-related health risk behaviors. <mask> developed an  intervention for young GBMSM that showed an effect at reducing both substance use and sexual risk  and was the first intervention for this population designated as a "Best Evidence" Effective Behavioral Intervention (EBI) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. <mask> authored and co-authored more than 320 peer-reviewed publications, more than 500 conference abstracts, and 11 book chapters as well as having been Editor of one book; his work has received extensive popular media coverage. <mask> was funded by several federal research grants between 1990 and 2019. In 1996, he founded the Center for HIV/AIDS Educational Studies & Training (CHEST) to “conduct research to identify and promote strategies that prevent the spread of HIV and improve the lives of people living with HIV.” Since that time, <mask> received more than $55 million USD in funding as Principal Investigator from the National Institutes of Health (including the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal agencies.Career

<mask> (January 18, 1818 – March 12, 1868), sometimes known as <mask>, was an American landowner who briefly served as an Irish Repeal Association politician in the United Kingdom. MacTavish was the great-grandson of <mask> of Carrollton, an American founding father, and was born into a wealthy family in Maryland. He was named for his great-grandfather, who had a strong influence on his early life, ensuring that he was brought up devoutly Catholic. His mother's family had married into English aristocracy, and with their support, MacTavish began a career with the British diplomatic service. In the 1840s, he became interested in politics, and stood for election as a candidate in an Irish seat at the 1847 general election. He was narrowly elected, but the result was overturned following an election petition, which challenged both the conduct of the election and his status as a British subject. The committee ruled that some votes had been cast illegally, but did not find that it was proven he was ineligible to sit.MacTavish later returned to America, where he married a daughter of General Winfield Scott, and took over a large family plantation in Maryland with around fifty slaves. He remained a slaveholder until the end of the Civil War, when he sold the estate, though he was considered a loyal Union citizen. He died in 1868. Early life

MacTavish's father, <mask>, was a Scottish fur trader with the North West Company in Canada. He married Emily Caton, the daughter of Richard Caton, a wealthy Baltimore merchant, in 1816, and they took up residence in Montreal; through her mother, Emily Caton was the granddaughter of <mask> of Carrollton, a signatory of the Declaration of Independence. Their first child, <mask> MacTavish, was born in January 1818 in Maryland, while his mother was visiting her parents. Emily's sisters had married into the British aristocracy; MacTavish's uncles by marriage included Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley, former Governor-General of India, Foreign Secretary, and later Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and Francis D'Arcy-Osborne, 7th Duke of Leeds.In 1819, the family moved to Maryland, where <mask> was appointed as consul-general to the United States in 1829, and later consul for Maryland and the District of Columbia. From 1832, they resided at Carrollton Hall, a short distance from Baltimore, an estate gifted by his great-grandfather. MacTavish and his siblings were raised in a strongly Catholic environment, influenced heavily by the wishes of their great-grandfather. He was a pupil at Stonyhurst College in England, a Jesuit school, between 1830 and 1834. During his time at Stonyhurst, he attended the coronation of William IV. At this time, he was interested in a military career, though this did not come to pass. In 1834, his uncle Wellesley, then Lord-Lieutenant in Dublin, met him on a visit to Ireland and wrote that he "is receiving the education of a Catholic priest and both his understanding and his person will soon decline".In 1839, MacTavish left America to travel to Russia and then onward to the United Kingdom, with ambitions of a diplomatic career. He was presented at court in London in April 1839 by Andrew Stevenson, the American ambassador. He lived for some time in Paris, where he perfected his French, and then with the support of his uncle, the Marquess of Wellesley, was attached to the British diplomatic service. He is recorded as being associated with Henry Wellesley's embassy to the Ottoman Empire, which would suggest he went to Constantinople around 1845. In 1845, his sister Mary married Henry George Howard, the youngest son of the Earl of Carlisle; at the time, Howard was an attaché to the British Embassy in Paris. Election controversy

After living for some years in the United Kingdom, MacTavish became involved in Irish politics, and stood for election to the House of Commons in the 1847 general election, as a Repeal Association candidate in . At the hustings, his proposer drew a link to his great-grandfather, noting that as "<mask> was instrumental in effecting American independence, so he hoped that <mask> MacTavish would yet be instrumental in achieving the independence of Ireland"; MacTavish said that he "long had his eye on Ireland, and though an American by birth, was an Irishman in feeling".He was declared elected, polling 124 votes against 121 for William McCullagh, the Whig candidate. A full list of electors (and some non-voting supporters) was published as a poster by MacTavish's supporters shortly after the election. However, an election petition was raised to challenge the result, and was adjudicated in March 1848 by a committee composed of five MPs from across the political spectrum. The main challenge was that he was legally an alien - an American citizen rather than a British subject, and so barred from sitting in Parliament. In addition, it was alleged that he had failed to properly declare his qualification to sit, and that he and his agents had been guilty of bribing electors. On the main challenge, the opposition argued strongly that the various statutes which would make him a British subject had been passed before the 1801 Act of Union, and did not extend to Ireland; under existing Irish law, which had not been altered since the Union, he would need to be born to parents both of whom were British subjects. This point was contested over the first three days, with testimony taken from his father and a copy of an American passport provided as evidence, and a debate about whether his mother had in fact been born in England.Eventually, the parliamentary committee concluded that "it has not been proved that the sitting member is an alien disqualified from law from sitting in Parliament". However, his victory was short-lived; over the third and fourth days, the hearing proceeded to examine a number of disputed votes in the election, and eventually concluded that several votes had been cast by ineligible voters. This reduced MacTavish's total below that of McCullagh, who was declared elected on March 18, 1848. Later life

Following this disappointment, MacTavish chose to return to America. In the early 1850s, he married Marcella (Ella) Scott, the youngest daughter of General Winfield Scott (later to be a candidate for president). MacTavish acquired the Carrollton Hall estate from his parents in 1850, and sold it again in July 1864 for $100,000. The house would return to the family in the 1880s, however, when it passed to <mask>, son of John Lee Carroll, a distant cousin.In 1850, he had estimated the value of his property at $50,000 in land, and in 1860, $60,000 in land and $40,000 in assets. As owner of Carrollton Hall, MacTavish was also a slaveowner; the estate had 50 slaves in the 1850 census, and 51 in the 1860 census, while an advertisement for sale, estimated to be around 1860, included 38 slaves. He may have freed some or all of his slaves during the American Civil War - in June 1864, John Woolley, the provost marshal for the Baltimore region, enquired about his loyalty to the Union, and a local officer reported that MacTavish was a "thoroughly loyal citizen" who "gave us every facility for enrolling his slaves". No slaves were recorded in the sale that July, a few months before slavery was formally abolished in Maryland. In 1867, following the death of his mother, he inherited the bulk of her estate, estimated at over $200,000. The bequest had been made by her to fulfil a promise to her grandfather, <mask>. He died on March 12, 1868.His family continued the tradition of devout Catholicism. His youngest daughter Emily became a nun with the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary in 1883, and her eldest sister May entered a convent in Brussels in 1887. The middle daughter, Virginia, was rumoured by gossip columnists in 1888 to be engaged to the recently widowed Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk; however, she never married. References

<mask> (born 14 November 1980) is an English former professional footballer who is now the player-manager of  club Macclesfield. A former Manchester United Academy player, he turned professional with Macclesfield Town in 2001. He spent five years with the club, and made over 200 appearances in all competitions, before he switched to Port Vale in June 2006. He played over 100 games for the Vale in two seasons, before he signed for Oldham Athletic in June 2008. Again a first team regular, he left after two seasons to join Chesterfield in May 2010. He helped the club to the League Two title in 2010–11, and also won himself a place on the division's PFA Team of the Year. He also helped the club to the League Trophy title in 2012.He returned to Macclesfield Town in August 2013, and played in the club's defeat at the 2017 FA Trophy Final, before helping the club to win promotion back to the English Football League as champions of the National League. He was appointed as the club's caretaker-manager in November 2018, before announcing his retirement in July 2019. He again stepped up to become caretaker-manager at Macclesfield in August 2019 and January 2020, before he was appointed as the first manager, in October 2020. Career

Macclesfield Town
Whitaker was a Manchester United junior, and spent time at both Bradford City and local side Wilmslow Albion before signing with Macclesfield Town. He scored on his Football League debut; during a 2–1 home defeat to Exeter City on 2 February 2002. He went on to make another 15 Third Division appearances that season, earning a fresh contract upon the season's end. A regular in the 2002–03 season, he scored a hat-trick in the League Cup 4–1 triumph over Barnsley on 11 September.In most unusual fashion all three goals came in the second period of extra time. With ten goals before the winter break he was linked to both Oldham Athletic and Preston North End. However manager David Moss was highly dismissive of such speculation, saying: "Quite frankly, I am sick and tired of reading about players who have just signed two-year contracts but want to get away. <mask> will be going nowhere except Macclesfield reserves if he doesn't improve." The club insisted that Whitaker was too valuable a player to let go. This transfer talk came despite him having recently signed a contract to keep him with the "Silkmen" until June 2005. Rated as a star player before the start of the 2003–04 season, he had a rather quiet season with just six goals, going 22 games without a goal from November to the season's finish.He scored just four goals in the 2004–05 season, though manager Brian Horton was still keen to hold on to him, despite nine others being deemed unworthy of a new deal. Six goals in 45 appearances followed in 2005–06. However, despite having been established in the heart of the Macclesfield midfield for the past four years and winning the club's player of the year award, he was released at the end of the season. Port Vale
Now a free agent, Whitaker moved up to League One with Port Vale in June 2006. He played 51 games in his first season at Vale Park. At the end of the 2007–08 season, where Whitaker again played 40+ games, he was offered a new contract along with three other Port Vale players. But in May he rejected the contract and was told he could look for another club.However, Lee Sinnott told Whitaker that he would get back to him with a better offer if chairman Bill Bratt could raise some more money, the wage bill having been cut due to relegation. In June, he was offered an improved deal. Whilst mulling over the offer he was given a deadline. On 20 June 2008, he turned down the chance to stay at Vale, and instead opted to join Oldham Athletic, still in League One. Oldham Athletic
Whitaker scored eight goals in 42 appearances for the "Latics" during the 2008–09 season. He was released at the end of the 2009–10 season, despite missing only a handful of games during his spell at the club. Chesterfield
Whitaker was signed by Chesterfield in May 2010, linking up with his old boss John Sheridan.He started the 2010–11 campaign with three goals in as many league games, having bagged a hat-trick against Hereford United. Playing in every one of the club's league games, scoring fifteen goals in the process, Chesterfield won promotion as champions of League Two. He was also named in the PFA Team of the Year, along with teammates Craig Davies and Tommy Lee. The following season, 2011–12, the "Spireites" struggled at the bottom of League One, and Whittaker lost his first team place in the new year. He was an unused substitute as Chesterfield beat Swindon Town in the final of the League Trophy at Wembley Stadium. He was offered a new one-year contract by the club in May 2012. He made 34 appearances in the 2012–13 campaign, and was not offered a new contract by manager Paul Cook.Return to Macclesfield
Whitaker re-signed with Conference Premier club Macclesfield Town in August 2013. He made 49 appearances for John Askey's "Silkmen" across the 2013–14 campaign. He agreed to a new one-year deal in July 2014. He scored six goals in 30 games in the 2014–15 season. He scored eight goals in 50 appearances in the 2015–16 campaign as Macclesfield finished in tenth position and signed a new one-year contract in July 2016. He made 55 appearances across the 2016–17 campaign, including in the 2017 FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium, where Macclesfield were beaten 3–2 by York City. He scored eight goals in 45 appearances in 2017–18 as Macclesfield won promotion back to the Football League as champions of the National League.On 8 October 2018, <mask> and Neil Howarth were appointed as Macclesfield Town's joint-caretaker-managers following the dismissal of Mark Yates. They remained in charge until Sol Campbell was appointed as manager on 27 November. He scored three goals in 26 games as Macclesfield secured their safety at the end of the 2018–19 season. He announced his retirement in July 2019. He again was appointed as Macclesfield Town's caretaker-manager following the resignation of Sol Campbell on 15 August 2019. He won his one game in charge, before returning to his coaching duties once Daryl McMahon was appointed as manager four days later. McMahon resigned on 3 January 2020, leaving <mask> to once again step in as caretaker-manager.He remained in the role for 13 days until the appointment of Mark Kennedy. He stayed on in the role of assistant manager under first Kennedy and then Tim Flowers. He came out of retirement to sign a one-year playing contract with Macclesfield on 15 September 2020, but the club was liquidated a day later. Management career
<mask> was appointed as the first ever manager of Macclesfield Town's phoenix club, Macclesfield F.C., on 13 October 2020. He was also registered as a player, and played himself in the first competitive match for the new club on 31 July 2021, in a 1–0 win at home to Burscough in the North West Counties League Premier Division.

<mask> (born 1966, Caripito, Venezuela) is an American blues and folk musician, guitarist, singer-songwriter, and recording artist. Known for his ethereal style, he was nominated for Emerging Artist of the Year in 2006 by the Folk Alliance, and has released a number of solo albums. In 2010 <mask> co-founded the folk trio Brother Sun, with singer-songwriters Joe Jencks and Greg Greenway, and the band has since released two full albums and toured extensively. Wictor also has an extensive discography as a sideman, playing instruments such as lap slide guitar and dobro. He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. Early life
<mask> was born in 1966 in Caripito, a city in the Monagas State of Venezuela. Both his parents were American, and early on his mother, Cecilia "Cee Cee" <mask>, exposed Wictor to history, poetry and the arts.For several years Wictor and his four older siblings lived in oil camps owned by Creole Petroleum Corporation, and their father's career in the oil industry later led to them living in East Texas, the Netherlands, Norway, and England. Wictor returned to the United States as a teenager, living first in California. Wictor began playing guitar while young, and focused on genres as diverse as rock, heavy metal, and jazz. After starting with guitar he also learned bass and saxophone. He quit music entirely in the late 1980s to become a community organizer, then a high school teacher. Music career

Tall Tales
In 1993 Wictor returned to music, and around that time also began composing songs. He initially played solo; however, he soon met fellow guitarist Jim Ypsilantis while both were living in New York City and working as teachers, and they began composing music together and performing live in the area under the band name Tall Tales.On January 5, 1999, they released their first album, Souls Are Falling. According to a review, the album contains "creative "new acoustic" sounds (i.e., elements of folk, rock, jazz, and soul). Touches of world music – African, Latin, Middle Eastern – can be heard throughout their work, distinguishing it from the pack of other current adult contemporary music. The band's focus and strength lies not in its vocals, but in the sound of Wictor's and Ypsilantis's guitars blending together, weaving in and out, dancing about like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers." He and Ypsilantis released a second album on October 4, 2001, titled Things You Know. That year, Wictor left teaching to become a full-time musician. In 2002 he performed on the first of many recordings as a sideman, and he began to develop a reputation for his skill with lap slide guitar.Solo albums
On March 23, 2003, Wictor released his debut solo album Temporary Stay on his own independent label RiskyDisc Records. This was followed by the album Waiting for the Water, also released on RiskyDisc on September 23, 2004. Waiting for the Water reached No. 4 on the Folk-DJ Charts, and Wictor toured throughout the United States. In 2005 and 2006 his touring included opening sets for artists such as Richie Havens, Chris Smither, and John Hammond. Heaven is So High (2006)
Wictor's third album, Heaven Is So High...And I'm So Far Down, was released in July 2006 on RiskyDisc. The CD featured original songs mixed with distinctively arranged covers of artists such as Mississippi Fred McDowell, Rev.Gary Davis, Bob Dylan, Walter Davis, and Dave Carter. Wictor also handled guitar and lap slide guitar, with bass by Freebo and blues harmonica by Bob Beach. Like his previous album it peaked at No. 4 on the Folk-DJ Charts, In a 2007 review for Heaven Is So High by Acoustic Music, "<mask> is a monster lap steel, resonator guitar and dobro player...He plays blues and folk like he was born to them." The review also praised both his original songs and his adaptations of older songs. In 2006 Wictor was nominated for the Emerging Artist of the Year Award by Folk Alliance International. The following year he was a finalist at the New Folk songwriting contest at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas.He has also been named "Most Wanted" at the Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist Showcase and was a nominee for Best Gospel Song with his track "Love Is the Water" at the Independent Music Awards. Sunset Waltz (2008)
His next album, Sunset Waltz, was released on RiskyDisc in May 2008 on both CD and digital format. As with his previous solo albums Wictor wrote, arranged, sang, and performed all guitars, and for the first time also produced the recording himself. The album includes a rework of his song "Where Did You Go?," originally on Waiting for Water. This time on the track he was joined by Red Molly, a band from New York consisting of Abbie Gardner, Laurie MacAllister and Carolann Sollebello. Songs like "Eventide" feature Wictor on laptop steel guitar, with vocal harmony from the duo of Joe Jencks and Helena Nash, and accompaniment from Jon Carroll on organ, Cheryl Prashker on drums, and Don Porterfield on bass. He also recorded songs by Phil Ochs for the album, though he significantly re-arranged the tracks.Sunset Waltz reached No. 2 on the Folk-DJ charts. Living Ever-Lovin' LIVE (2010)

His most recent solo album, Living Ever-Lovin' LIVE, is a live album with both Wictor's original tracks and a number of re-arrangements of traditional songs. The CD features several duets with dobro player and vocalist Abbie Gardner. Collaborations, teaching
A capable improviser and instrumentalist, Wictor has worked as a sideman and session musician since 2002. He has contributed slide guitar and vocals to a number of releases, including ones by Sloan Wainwright, Joe Crookston, Jon Vezner, Tom Prasada-Rao, and Buskin & Batteau. He has written a number of covers and tributes for Dave Carter.Wictor is also a frequent music educator, giving workshops on music history, songwriting, improvisation, and guitar and slide guitar techniques. Brother Sun

Founding
In late 2009 Wictor joined long-time collaborators Joe Jencks and Greg Greenway to form the band Brother Sun. The trio had first performed together at a music conference at Southeast Unitarian Universalist Summer Institute that summer. According to Wictor, "I invited Joe and Greg to join me onstage in a concert I was doing [at SUUSI]. We rehearsed for an hour, got onstage, and the sound of our voices together was one of the most powerful musical experiences of my life. Lots of audience members and musicians in attendance all said we should form a group." However, since the members all had conflicting schedules and lived in different cities (Boston, New York, and Chicago), the band didn't coalesce until the spring of 2010, starting its first tour that December with the members traveling separately to shows.Each member of the band plays guitar and sings, with <mask> also playing slide guitar, Greenway on piano and ukulele, and Jencks on the bouzouki, a mandolin-like instrument. Instruments such as ukulele are also used. Most of the band's songs are written by individual members, then arranged as a group, with the style typically incorporating folk, blues, and gospel. According to Wictor, "Suffering and transcendence are what the blues and gospel both have. That speaks to all three of us and what we want to project with our music." The trio's music also incorporates elements of Americana, pop, jazz, Celtic, rock, and a cappella singing. Brother Sun (2011)
The band's debut, Brother Sun, was released on June 18, 2011.The album was recorded with the same setup as one of their live shows, with no extra instruments or voices. After debuting at No. 2 on the Folk DJ Chart, it was named the No. 8 album of 2011 on FOLK-DJ. Over a dozen radio stations, including WUMB (Boston), WFUV (NYC), and WFMT's The Midnight Special (Chicago), put the band on their "Best of 2011" and "Best of 2012" lists. Some Part of the Truth (2013)
The majority of Wictor's touring time in 2011 and 2012 was spent with Brother Sun. Their second album, Some Part of the Truth, was released on January 26, 2013, on their new label Brother Sun Music.The album was more heavily produced than their previous release, and brought on Grammy-winning producer Ben Wisch. Bassist Zev Katz, percussionist Joe Bonadio, and cellist Brian Sanders also contributed to the recording sessions. According to Wictor, "I see this new album as more atmospheric, textural, colorful, moody, evocative, and emotionally rich [than the debut]." The album was positively received. According to Rich Warren of WFMT in Chicago, "More polished than Brother Sun's initial effort, Some Part of Truth blends expressively riveting male harmonies with precise, equally sensitive guitar and keyboard talent into three personal journeys from deep within." Some Part of the Truth was the No. 1 CD on the Folk-DJ chart for all of 2013, receiving the most play of any release, and "Lady of the Harbor" was the No.1 song of the year. The CD debuted at No. 1 and remained there for two months, then spent another five consecutive months in the chart's Top-40. It also reached No. 2 on Sirius XM’s Americana Chart. The first track on the CD, "Lady of the Harbor," debuted at No. 1 on the Folk-DJ Chart, and in early 2014 was also included on the in-flight program for Lufthansa Airlines.Recent years
As of 2014 Wictor continues to tour both on his own and with Brother Sun, and he has performed at festivals such as the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, the Kerrville Folk Festival, and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. In 2017, he released his first solo album in eight years, This Is Absolutely Real: Visions and Versions of Phil Ochs, a cover album of Phil Ochs songs. Style
 Wictor typically incorporates rural country music, gospel, and blues into his songwriting, instrumentals, and vocals. His style has also been classified as Americana, with Dirty Linen stating that the clear quality of his voice makes for an "interesting juxtaposition" alongside his musicianship. About his songwriting style, The Country Blues wrote, "He manages to infuse an almost playful, yet tasteful, improvisation while maintaining a beautiful sense of melody." The review also praised his skill with fingerstyle and lap steel guitar," positively comparing him to Harry Manx and Kelly Joe Phelps. Also, "Wictorʼs signature sound is clean and understated, not a note too many.He annunciates each note and plays with a simple, eloquent feeling and advanced virtuosity. His music is, if anything, tinged with a sweet-sensitivity, a gentleness. This is the antonym to fiery, angry, furious blues." Personal life
As of 2014 Wictor resides in Brooklyn, New York. He continues to write a monthly email column entitled "A Few Choice Words." He is also a co-founder and board member of The Reading Odyssey, an organization dedicated to helping adults "re-ignite their curiosity and learning, mostly through exploring classic literature together."

<mask> (; born 14 March 1978) is a Dutch retired swimmer. He is a triple Olympic champion and former world record holder. Early life
Born in Maastricht, Limburg, he is the son of <mask> and Astrid Verver, a former Dutch 800 m freestyle silver medalist at the European Junior Championships. He has a younger brother. He grew up in Geldrop, where he swam for PSV Eindhoven. His father is a team doctor with the professional football team of the same club. Russian swimmer and four-time Olympic gold medalist Alexander Popov was his role model.Swimming career

Early career
In 1993, <mask> <mask> achieved his first success, performing well on the European Youth Olympic Days. Before the Atlanta Games, Astrid <mask> <mask>, who was coaching the Dutch team, became frustrated with the swimmers representing the Netherlands, feeling they had much potential but would not be able to live up to it due to lack of adequate support. She pleaded with Cees to take action, as he carried much weight from his professional connections. After Astrid threatened to remove <mask> from the sport, Cees created a small foundation and signed up 20 initial sponsors who each paid $2,500 to fund a team trainer. The Dutch swimming team eventually signed contracts with Philips, Nike, and Speedo. Enough funds were raised to open a swim school in Eindhoven, <mask> <mask>'s place of residence. The team eventually grew to ten.<mask> remained the Netherlands' brightest star, and along with fellow Dutch Inge de Bruijn brought the Netherlands many victories in the sport. <mask> <mask> is the only swimmer in history who has managed to win both the 100–200 metre freestyle double at the Olympics and also repeat as 100 freestyle champion at the Olympics. His three Olympic gold are the only three won by a Dutch male pool swimmer. 1996 Olympics
<mask> <mask>'s international breakthrough came at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Only 18 years old, he exceeded the expectations of many by finishing 4th in both the 100 m and 200 m freestyle. He won the 50 m freestyle B final, and finished 5th in the 4×100 m freestyle relay, 7th in the 4×200 m freestyle relay, and 10th in the 4×100 m medley relay. Later career

1998 World championships

At the 1998 World Aquatics Championships in Perth, Australia, <mask> <mask> won bronze medal in the 200 metre freestyle and silver in the 4×200 m freestyle relay.2000 Olympics

After winning 6 gold medals at the 1999 European Championships, <mask> <mask> was one of the favourites at the 2000 Summer Olympics, but his adversaries were formidable. In the 200 m freestyle he faced the world record holder, Australian youngster Ian Thorpe, favourite of the home crowd in Sydney. In the semi-finals, <mask> <mask> set a new world record, but Thorpe countered with a time only 0.02 s slower. In an exciting final, <mask> <mask> equalled his time from the semi-finals to win the gold medal. In the 100 m freestyle, <mask> <mask> again set a world record in the semi-finals and won his second gold medal, defeating the 1992 and 1996 champion, Alexander Popov. His 100 m world record stood until 21 March 2008 and was broken by France's Alain Bernard (47.60). <mask> <mask> won two more medals, both bronze, in the 50 m freestyle and the 4×200 m freestyle relay, in which he was the final swimmer.<mask> <mask> was named Dutch sportsman of the year in 1999, 2000 and 2004, World Swimmer of the Year in 2000, and European Swimmer of the Year in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2004. 2001 World championships

At the 2001 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, <mask> <mask> won four silver medals in the 50 m, 100 m, 200 m freestyle events and 4×100 m freestyle relay. 2003 World Championships

At the 2003 World Championships in Barcelona he split a 46.70 in the medley relay which stood as the fastest 100 m freestyle split until it was topped in 2008 by the French relay veteran Frédérick Bousquet, at 46.63 seconds. <mask> <mask>s' 46.70, however, remained as the fastest textile relay split until it was topped in 2015 by Cameron McEvoy of Australia. He had disappointing performances in both the 100 and 200 freestyle events though, finishing runner up to Alexander Popov and Ian Thorpe respectively, with considerably slow times. His times from previous meets in the past year, and earlier rounds of the championships, would have won both events. His winning time in the 200 freestyle at the 2002 European Championships was faster than Ian Thorpe's winning time at these Championships, but <mask> went about 2 whole seconds slower this time around.His time in the semis of the 100 freestyle at these Championships would have won the final of that event as well (won by Alexander Popov), and his 100 free relay split (with nearly a second gain from a rolling start) was 2 whole seconds faster. 2004 Olympics

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, he won a gold medal in the 100 m freestyle and two silvers in the 200 m freestyle and the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay, swimming the anchor leg in 46.79 which was the 2nd fastest split in history. By finishing ahead of Michael Phelps in both the 200 m freestyle and the 4×100 m freestyle relay, he is the only swimmer to ever beat Phelps twice in Olympic competition. While technically the second was a relay, his split was faster by a large margin, and the margin of beating the U.S team by a far smaller one. 2007 World Championships
At the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne, Australia, <mask> <mask> won a silver medal in the 200 m freestyle behind Michael Phelps. He holds by a large margin the all-time record for most runner up finishes at the World Championships without winning. 2008 Olympics
<mask> <mask> returned to the Olympic Games in 2008 in Beijing and finished fifth in the 100 m freestyle.He retired after the race. In the semifinals he broke his own national record that stood from 2000 Summer Olympics bringing it to 47.68 s.

In making the 100 m freestyle final, <mask> <mask> became the first swimmer to make the finals in the same event four times. In December of the same year, he announced his retirement. Post-swimming career
<mask> <mask> continues to swim recreationally and he remains active in the sports industry. He has served as a commentator for many swimming events, including the 2012 Summer Olympics. The swimming arena in the sporting centre of Eindhoven was named the "<mask> van den Hoogenband Zwemstadion". Personal life
<mask> <mask> was married to his longtime girlfriend Minouche Smit who is also a former swimmer.They have a daughter Daphne (born 23 June 2007) and a son Sander (born 13 September 2009).
