 amended a municipal motion to include Toronto councillors and the mayor under the terms of a planned 12.25% salary increase for the city's unionized employees. Some members of council later said that they did not notice the change, and were unaware that they were voting themselves a pay increase when they approved the bill. Moscoe denied that any trickery was involved, and suggested that certain councillors were disingenuously trying to appear disinterested in their salaries.He added, "I think we deserve the same raises everybody else got - modest though they may be. I'm not in the slightest bit embarrassed." He withdrew the motion when council reconsidered its raise increase in January 2006, saying that the matter had been "blown all out of proportion" by the media. Council controversies
Moscoe was criticized for yelling an obscenity at Rob Ford in a 2004 meeting, for which he later apologized. He initially joked that he had told Ford to "flock off, as the birds do". Moscoe distributed a prankish memo to other councillors in late 2005, entitled "How far will Lady Jane go? ", drawing a connection between Jane Pitfield's planned challenge against David Miller in 2006 and Lady Jane Grey's nine-day reign as Queen regnant of England in 1553.He withdrew the memo after complaints, and wrote an apology to Pitfield for any offence given. Rival councillors Karen Stintz and Frances Nunziata argued that the contest was demeaning to women, and Stintz suggested that Moscoe had "a history of making disparaging comments to women". Stintz and David Soknacki signed an affidavit requesting that Moscoe be investigated by the integrity commissioner for the comments. Moscoe argued that the contest was not sexist, acknowledging that it was directed against Pitfield but denying that he was targeting her gender. One Toronto columnist suggested that the memo criticisms were politically motivated in order to aid Pitfield's potential candidacy. Pitfield did not consider the memo offensive, and initially joked that she was planning to enter the contest. Moscoe was later criticized for allegedly sexist comments made in an exchange with Frances Nunziata in 2006.Nunziata had complained that bus service in her ward was substandard, and asked Moscoe to walk the area's streets for a first-hand view. Moscoe responded by saying, "Councillor, I leave walking the streets to you", which was a play on words referring to "street-walker", a euphemism for "prostitute". He subsequently apologized, adding "on occasion my mouth gets ahead of my brain". Nunziata wrote an open letter to the city's integrity commissioner, asking that Moscoe be censured for his comments. 2006 election
In July 2006, a local taxpayer group called the Coalition for Municipal Change announced that it would try to find a challenger for Moscoe in the 2006 municipal election. Moscoe described the Coalition as a "Tory front group who are basically trying to destroy the balance of council", and later said "I always face two or three or four opponents during an election [...] Bring them on." No candidate came forward, and the coalition did not endorse any of Moscoe's opponents.Moscoe defeated Ron Singer, his closest challenger, by about a two-to-one margin. 2006-2010
Moscoe stood down as TTC chair following the 2006 election, and was selected as chair of Toronto's licensing and standards committee. He is also a member of David Miller's executive committee . Soon after the swearing-in ceremony in December 2006, Moscoe distributed a list of his priorities to journalists, which was highlighted by a plan to license Toronto's landlords. The plan calls for landlords to pay a high per-unit fee if their properties are run down, and a low fee if the buildings are in good shape. "Good landlords have nothing to fear from the licensing scheme because the amounts they are going to pay will be marginal," he has said. "The emphasis in whatever scheme we establish must be making the bad landlords pay".He conducted a media tour of the worst-kept buildings in Toronto in early 2007. Moscoe has called for Ontario's disabled parking system to be overhauled, arguing that the current system is both outdated and rampant with abuse. He says that many non-disabled Ontarians are currently using disabled parking permits for convenience purposes. In a letter published in the Toronto Star in February 2007, Moscoe argues that subsidies should be provided to the disabled poor, rather than to those who can afford their own and drive a car. In late March 2007, Moscoe led the licensing and standards committee in supporting a ban on airport limousines picking up fares in Toronto (a practice sometimes called "scooping"). Council approved the motion the following month, but imposed a one-month delay on its enforcement to allow further negotiations with the Greater Toronto Airport Authority and the City of Mississauga. Several airport drivers protested the new law at city council.In an unrelated matter, Moscoe attempted to have Toronto's numbered electoral wards given new names in early 2007. The motion was defeated by council. Issues

Transportation
Moscoe has long been a prominent advocate for public transit in Toronto. As early as 1979, he brought forward a motion to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities calling for senior levels of government to provide operating and capital costs for public transit in cities. He recommended that Toronto take steps to improve its transit network in 1989, following the release of a report indicating that rush-hour traffic would double between 1981 and 2001. He was quoted as saying, "We can no longer afford the absolute luxury of people travelling alone and taking up valuable space on the road. The only solution is to improve public transit and increase disincentives to travel downtown by car."In 1991, he argued that Metro should charge developers for transit projects. Moscoe recommended several reforms to transit policy following his appointment to the TTC in 1991. He supported lower rates for Toronto's poorer residents, arguing that transit passes could be mailed out with welfare cheques. This idea was opposed by then-TTC chair Mike Colle. Moscoe also advocated lower advertising rates for small businesses, noting that a national recession was resulting in many spaces being left unused. He opposed the TTC's elimination of environmentally friendly trolley bus services in January 1992, and led a successful initiative for their restoration later in the same year. Moscoe also opposed a 16% fare increase in 1992, arguing that the TTC could cut expenses through administration instead.He criticized the service cutbacks introduced by the provincial government of Mike Harris in the mid-1990s, and spoke against a 43% fare increase for students and seniors in 1996. Moscoe later argued that the Harris government's funding cuts were the start of a long period of decline for the TTC, from which it had not entirely recovered by the mid-2000s. Moscoe joined with other NDP councillors to support increased funding for WheelTrans, a transportation service for Toronto's disabled persons, 1995. After the Harris government introduced its funding cuts, however, he reluctantly brought forward a motion to scale back WheelTrans services. He described the motion as "the most difficult decision I've had to make", but argued it was necessary to prevent a total collapse in the city's transit system. He recommended that WheelTrans users voluntarily limit their non-essential use of the service, so as to ensure that it remained accessible for work and school transportation. He opposed further cuts in 1996, and subsequently supported initiatives to make regular buses wheelchair-friendly.TTC Chair, 1998-2000
<mask> was appointed as TTC chair in January 1998, and soon emerged as a prominent rival to David Gunn, the TTC's chief general manager. The two disagreed over policy issues, including the proposed purchase of low-floor buses to benefit elderly and disabled passengers: Moscoe supported the purchase, while Gunn argued that it was beyond the TTC's budget. Gunn also accused Moscoe of interfering in TTC management issues, particularly after Moscoe renegotiated a contract for condominium development at the TTC's Bayview station. Gunn threatened to resign in mid-1998 if Moscoe was not removed, but retracted this threat when the TTC reaffirmed its confidence in Moscoe's leadership. Gunn eventually stepped down in April 1999, saying that Moscoe was "ruining his reputation". His replacement, Rick Ducharme, was openly critical of his predecessor's management style and initially had a more cooperative relationship with Moscoe and other elected officials. There were several attempts to remove Moscoe as TTC chair in 1999, following a threatened strike by TTC workers.During the negotiations, Moscoe had suggested that council should reach a settlement with the workers and then consider a property tax increase to find the necessary revenues. Mel Lastman opposed this proposal, and is widely believed to have coordinated the subsequent efforts to remove Moscoe from office. Four commissioners on the seven-member TTC board issued a statement in April 1999, indicating that they were prepared to "reconsider the position of chair". Moscoe was able to retain his position at a subsequent TTC meeting with a deft procedural move that divided the opposition, and later described the attempt to dismiss him as a "kindergarten coup". His opponents attempted to remove him again in May 1999, when TTC commissioners Chris Korwin-Kuczynski and Brian Ashton brought forward a motion before city council to replace the entire TTC board. Ashton acknowledged that the move was intended to replace Moscoe, whom he described as "very incompetent". Moscoe again retained his position when council rejected the motion, and instead agreed to a compromise plan which saw two new members added to the board.The new appointments did not solve Moscoe's difficulties: both new members were opposed to his leadership, and their appointments led to a renewed effort to remove him as chair. Moscoe responded to the threat by introducing a legal challenge against the manner of the new members' selection: both were chosen by a simple majority of council, and Moscoe argued that a two-thirds majority was required. A court ruling in late June 1999 upheld Moscoe's position and invalidated the appointments. After the ruling, Mel Lastman signalled that he was again willing to accept Moscoe as chair. The controversy ended for a time. There was another effort to remove Moscoe as chair late in 1999, when it was revealed that an employee in his office had faxed confidential documents to a company suing the TTC. Moscoe indicated that he had no awareness of the fax, but submitted a resignation notice to take formal responsibility.The other commissioners planned to reject his resignation after a single day's debate, but commissioner Rob Davis unexpectedly suspended the proceedings and suggested that a broader inquiry be launched. Moscoe then withdrew his resignation, saying that the matter should have been resolved quickly to permit the TTC to return to its regular business. There was a further attempt to dismiss Moscoe in January 2000, but this came to nothing. Despite these controversies, Moscoe's first tenure as TTC chair was marked by several notable accomplishments. The city purchased hundreds of new subway cars, rebuilt several buses and streetcars and maintained its "state of good repair" schedule despite provincial cutbacks. TTC Chair, 2003-2006
After his reappointment in 2003, Moscoe expressed concern that the provincial government of Ernie Eves was abandoning Toronto transit services in favour of projects in the surrounding municipalities. He proposed a referendum for a 1% property tax hike later in the same year, with the revenues to be targeted toward public transit improvements.The city turned down the proposal. In 1999, Moscoe began a lobbying effort to have a percentage of provincial revenues directed toward the TTC. He achieved success in 2004, when Premier Dalton McGuinty declared his support for the plan. In the same period, the federal government of Paul Martin announced that it would contribute a portion of its fuel tax revenues to municipal transit, including the TTC. Moscoe welcomed a $1 billion investment over five years from the federal and provincial governments in 2004, and received a separate $90 million infusion from the provincial Liberal government in the same year to stave off a 25-cent fare increase. Moscoe endorsed the Martin government's 2005 budget, which implemented the federal gas-tax plan. In April 2005, Moscoe led the TTC in last-minute negotiations with the city's transit union to prevent a city-wide strike.Published reports indicate that a shouting match between Moscoe and union president Bob Kinnear sparked the final successful negotiations. When the union accepted a tentative deal, Moscoe remarked, "I feel like a member of the bomb squad who was faced with a green wire and red one and thank God we cut the red wire". Moscoe oversaw TTC fare increases in both 2005 and 2006. The 2005 increase saw adult fares rise by 25 cents and the price of tickets and tokens rise by ten cents; the TTC attempted to mitigate the inconvenience by simultaneously introducing a $30 weekly transferable pass that could be shared among friends, family and co-workers. Moscoe was quoted as saying, "I don't like having to raise fares. We haven't had a fare hike in two years and it barely covers inflation. We've tried to make it as painless as possible."Critics nevertheless argued that the hike would hurt the city's working poor. A separate ten-cent fare increase in 2006 was justified as a necessary consequence of soaring gas prices in North America. Moscoe argued that the alternative of cutting back services was not a viable option. Moscoe was a prominent supporter of the rebuild of the streetcar right-of-way on St. Clair Avenue. He argued that if the project was cancelled, as some Toronto politicians had suggested, it would be costly and would worsen gridlock in the city. He also called for the province to re-assume responsibility for the western section of the Gardiner Expressway, which was formerly part of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) until it was downloaded to the city in 1998. He suggested that it be renamed the "Dalton McGuinty Expressway" if the province refused.In March 2006, Moscoe announced that he would support provincial funding for a united transit system covering the Greater Toronto Area from Burlington to Oshawa. He later criticized federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's plans for a transit tax credit, arguing that it would be difficult to administer and would only benefit the most affluent transit users.

 Moscoe has also criticized the provincial government's plan to introduce "smart card" transit passes for the Greater Toronto Area, arguing that the city could buy 400 buses with the money being spent on the program. Summer 2006
In May 2006, the Amalgamated Transit Union placed ads in local newspapers suggesting that the TTC was callously denying benefit coverage to injured transit operator Bobby Lowe. Moscoe called the union's allegations false, noting that a different agency was responsible for the payment of employee benefits. Moscoe also said that TTC workers were treated consistently with other injured workers in the province, and noted that injury pay issue was not mentioned during the last bargaining session on April 2005. ATU President Bob Kinnear responded saying that Moscoe was attacking Lowe's honesty.Moscoe apologized to Lowe during a meeting at City Hall, and promised to "sort out our procedures" to ensure that coverage would not be delayed to injured workers in the future.Kevin McGran, "Moscoe apologizes to TTC driver", Toronto Star, June 2, 2006. TTC General Manager Rick Ducharme announced his resignation on June 7, 2006, following a one-day wildcat strike by transit workers. He blamed political interference for his decision, saying that Moscoe had conducted direct negotiations with the union without consulting him. The Toronto Star speculated that the illegal strike might have resulted from Moscoe's negotiations, while David Shiner and other councilors said that Moscoe had a history of interfering in management affairs. John Barber, a columnist for the rival The Globe and Mail, argued that Ducharme's resignation was not a reasonable response to Moscoe's alleged interference. Moscoe defended his actions, arguing that he had an obligation to take part in the discussions and was attempting to ensure that a second strike did not take place. He later said that management was to blame for the wildcat strike, and that he intervened in an attempt to stop it.Ducharme also criticized Moscoe for granting a non-bid contract to Bombardier for the purchase of new subway cars, citing an estimate from rival company Siemens suggesting that it would cost Toronto as much as $100 million. Ducharme and several councillors had advocated making the process open to competition, arguing that this would result in the best deal for the city. Moscoe defended his decision by noting that Bombardier plans to construct the cars in Thunder Bay, Ontario with parts-supply work in Toronto, while Siemens would have exported construction to China. He also cited a Bombardier-initiated study asserting that the contract will generate $142 million in provincial and federal tax revenues. Moscoe has also defended the contracting process, arguing that non-competitive contracts are standard practice for such purchases in other jurisdictions. He later added that he initially considered an open-bid contract, but reconsidered after discovering that Siemens constructs its cars in China. Some councillors accused Moscoe of having an improper relationship with Bombardier, which had donated to Moscoe's campaign and sent out invitations to a political fundraiser for TTC Vice-Chair Adam Giambrone, an ally of Moscoe, although he turned down the assistance.Moscoe had also taken part in a Bombardier-organized trip to Tel Aviv in 1998, to promote subway construction in Israel. Moscoe responded to the accusation by saying that he was the target of a smear campaign, noting that there had been "nothing secret" about his 1998 trip, which was funded by the Israeli government. He added that he had also received campaign contributions from Siemens. Moscoe said that his opponents were "trying to get to the mayor" by attacking him, and argued that the controversy was being fomented by Siemens and its lobbyists, who were in contact with a number of councillors critical of the non-bid contract. In the aftermath of Ducharme's resignation, the Toronto Star newspaper and some city councillors called for Moscoe to stand down as TTC chair. He initially dismissed these calls as politically motivated, but later said that he was thinking about resigning after the 2006 municipal election. "TTC in turmoil, Moscoe must go" (editorial), Toronto Star, June 8, 2006, 7:17 report;"Moscoe thinking about quitting as TTC chair, CTV News, June 8, 2006, 13:53 report; There was another attempt to remove Moscoe as TTC chair in July 2006, but he defeated the challenge by a vote of 5 to 3.In late August 2006, an outside panel of experts judged that Bombardier's offer was a good deal for city, with one consultant saying that the proposed bid "is below most of the recent comparable North American procurements." In the aftermath of the report, councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker was quoted as saying, "if what you have told me [about the price] is true, somebody owes <mask>e an apology". The TTC staff have also recommended finalizing a deal with Bombardier. Some councillors, such as Karen Stintz, have continued to oppose the contract on procedural grounds. Stintz has said, "it's not about Bombardier. It's about a process we didn't follow", noting that other city departments require competitive bids on contracts of this size. The TTC unanimously endorsed purchase of the subway cars on August 30, 2006.After the vote, Moscoe told reporters, "We got a fair deal. We got a good deal. And we've got a first-class set of subway cars. [...] I have no apologies to make". The purchase was subsequently approved by council in late September 2006, by a vote of 25 to 18. Late 2006
Moscoe announced in late October 2006 that the TTC was considering the installment of electronic signs, to show bus and streetcar riders how long they would have to wait for the next vehicle. The following month, he announced that the TTC would introduce new tokens to combat counterfeiting.He has also proposed shifting Toronto to an automatic train system to increase service capacity, and introducing a station master at each stop to handle upgrades and customer complaints. One day after the 2006 municipal election, the federal government of Stephen Harper announced that it would provide the TTC with $1.4 million for anti-terrorism measures. Moscoe described the announcement as a "slap in the face", far below the $35 million the TTC had requested for security upgrades. He declined to participate in a photo opportunity with federal officials, and asked the Harper government to reconsider its proposal. Moscoe has also rejected the Conservative government's suggestion that Toronto consider public-private partnerships for transit services, saying "In transit we call them public-pirate partnerships. All the experience has been bad." In a surprise move, Moscoe declined to seek renomination as TTC chair after the 2006 election.He is currently seeking appointment to the Greater Toronto Transit Authority, a new regional body. "A bumpy ride", Toronto Star, December 7, 2006, R4. Taxis
Moscoe has long promoted safety concerns in the taxi industry, and has often championed the interests of taxi drivers against perceived exploitation from owners. He himself trained as a cab driver in 1990, in an effort to learn more about the industry. He once described taxi drivers as "the most vulnerable people in town" due to threats from belligerent passengers, and called for a Metro taskforce on driver safety after attending the funeral service of a cab driver killed by a customer in 1998. He later encouraged the installment of cameras in taxi cabs. The council adopted his suggestion and mandated security cameras in taxi cabs.As a result, the crime rate against cab drivers dropped by 70%. Moscoe supported a pioneering unionization effort for Toronto cab drivers in 1993. He later spoke out against abuses in Toronto's taxi licensing system, drawing attention to cases in which wealthy owners purchased plates that were rented to drivers at exorbitant rates. In 1998, he collaborated with Denzil Minnan-Wong to pass reform legislation granting "Ambassador" plates for licence holders who drive their own cars. Moscoe defended a taxi fare increase in 2003, arguing that it was first such increase in seven years and was necessary to cover rising insurance and gas prices. In 2005, he argued that drivers deserved a further fifty-cent increase per ride to cope with soaring fuel costs. He has supported a motion to have all Toronto cabs painted the same colour, arguing that this measure will help crack down on illegal drivers.Following the murder of a taxi driver by a passenger, Moscoe commented that drivers "live a very dangerous existence", adding "I would venture to say their job is more dangerous than a police officer". According to a Toronto Star report, some members of the police force found this comment offensive. His 2006 appointment as chair of the Licensing and Standards Committee gives Moscoe direct authority over the city's taxi industry. He has acknowledged that owners and brokers disapprove of some of his ideas, but says that most drivers support him. Police
Moscoe has often called for reforms in the Toronto Police Service, particularly as regards the force's relations with racial minority groups. Following the 1990 shooting of a black teenager by Toronto police, he introduced a motion at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities calling for police officers to be trained with "the information they need to deal sensitively with racial and ethnic minorities". He was a founding member of Metro Toronto's Council Action Committee to Combat Racism but resigned in January 1991, saying that it had rendered itself ineffectual by declining to make police issues a priority.Metro Chairman Alan Tonks, who established the committee, argued that an emphasis on police issues would duplicate the work of the Metro Police Commission and reduce police morale. Moscoe sought an appointment to the Police Commission in late 1990, but withdrew his name after failing to win Tonks's support. Moscoe criticized the tactics of the Toronto Police Association during Craig Bromell's tenure as union leader. In 1999, he argued that TTC advertisements by the union portrayed Hispanics as criminals. Bromell said that the ads were not meant to be offensive. The next year, Moscoe accused Bromell of having "crossed the line" by hiring private investigators to probe city councillors critical of the police force. Moscoe had his own office swept for bugs as a precautionary measure.Some councillors, including Tom Jakobek, derided this as a publicity stunt. Moscoe described a 2004 proposal for police helicopters as "pure testosterone", and sarcastically suggested that the helicopters should be equipped with Sidewinder missiles to ensure maximum effectiveness. He said during a council debate, "Do we need a helicopter to track down drug dealers in Parkdale? It's tough to land a helicopter on a doughnut shop." Rival councillor Rob Ford said that Moscoe's comments were insulting to the police force. Some current and former members of the Toronto police, including Julian Fantino, have criticized Moscoe's approach to police affairs. Taxation
Moscoe played a significant role in Metro Council's deliberations over market value tax reform in late 1992, working with three Progressive Conservative councillors to broker a last-minute compromise on the issue.Under the proposed plan, businesses and factories that paid rates below the market level would have had their rate increases capped at 25% over three years, while tenants and homeowners would have had increases capped at 10% over three years. Those paying more than the market rate would also have had their reductions capped. The compromise won the support of council, despite opposition from councillors representing wards in downtown Toronto. The provincial government later rejected the proposal. Moscoe supported a similar five-year phase-in plan in 1998, which was accepted. Trivia
 <mask> has dabbled in the visual arts. His sculpted wooden birds were featured at the 1990 Cabby Art Festival in Toronto.He later created a "pop art haven" of tacky orange furniture in his council office, to the chagrin of other councillors. Moscoe has weighed in excess of 300 pounds at different times in his career, and was nicknamed "Hungry <mask>" by the Toronto media in the 1990s. He took steps to control his weight in 1991 after being told that he had diabetes. By June 1992, he had dropped to 285 pounds. As of late 2005, he weighed 275 pounds. When the restoration of capital punishment was discussed at a 1979 meeting of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Moscoe introduced a facetious motion calling for the restoration of torture. He later clarified to reporters that he intended his proposal as a parody of the original motion, and said that he opposed both torture and the death penalty as irrational acts.He expressed concern that some constituents took his motion seriously, and approved of it. He organized a sarcastic "Howard Moscoe Re-Election Money Grub Banquet" to raise funds for his re-election bid in 2000. Table of offices held

Early years
Mendelblatt began taking classes at the St. Petersburg Sailing Center at age 6, and started sailing competitively at age 10. In 1984, at age 11, he was the overall winner at the International Optimist Dinghy National Sailing Championships in Maryland, and also won the North American title. In 1985, he was part of a five-person U.S. Optimist Dinghy team, along with his brother David, that took third place in the 25th International Optimist World Championships in team racing in Finland.It was the best U.S. finish ever in dinghy racing. He also came in second in the Optimist Pram National Championship, behind his brother David. In 1989, at the age of 16, he teamed with his 19-year-old brother David to outrace 21 other entries and win the Laser II North American Championships in Maryland. In 1991, at the age of 18, he won the Laser II World Championships in England, competing against more than 180 adult competitors. 1991–95; College
In college, he was a three-time All-American in sailing (1992–94), and was named winner of the Clarence "Pop" Houston Award as Tufts University Athlete of the Year in both 1993 and 1994. In 1993, he won the collegiate National Single-Handed Championship in Seattle, the New England Singlehanded Championship, and the New England Sloop Championship. In 1995 he won the Laser National Championships.He graduated Tufts in 1995, with a degree in Psychology. 1999–2004; Pan Am Games, World Championships, and Olympics

Mendelblatt earned a silver medal in the Laser at the 1999 Pan American Games on Lake Winnipeg, behind Brazil's Robert Scheidt and ahead of Diego Romero of Argentina. That year he also won the Laser North American title, and the US Olympic Sailing Committee recognized him as Athlete of the Year. In 2000, he came in 2nd out of 32 boats at the Laser Olympic Team Trials. The next year he won the 2001 Laser North American Championships. From 2000–03, he was the "traveler" (working the control that moves the boom) aboard OneWorld Challenge, an America's Cup yacht that competed in the 2003 Louis Vuitton Cup. He won the 2003 Rolex Miami Olympic Class Regatta, the Laser Pacific Coast Championships in Oregon on the Columbia River (coming in first out of 33 boats), and the Laser Gulf Coast Championships in Texas (coming in first out of 56 boats), and was named US Sailing's 2003 United States Olympic Committee Male Athlete of the Year.In 2003, Mendelblatt finished 6th in the Laser World Championships in Spain, out of 171 boats. For the year, he was ranked # 1 among US Laser sailors. Tim Landt, president of the International Laser Class Association, said Mendelblatt was "the total package", opining that:  "He's got the perfect structure (6 feet 2, 180 pounds). He's got extremely muscular legs, and he's very lean and very tenacious, like Lance Armstrong." In 2004, he was fourth out of 96 boats at the Laser European Championship, sixth out of 58 Lasers at the Princess Sofia competition in Spain, and twelfth out of 159 Lasers at Hyeres Week in France. In May 2004, he won a silver medal at the Laser World Championships in Turkey, coming in 2nd out of 145 boats, behind Brazil's Scheidt. He competed in the 2004 Olympics in Laser (Mixed One-Person Dinghy) in Athens, and placed eighth.US Sailing named him Athlete of the Year for the second time. 2005–present

In March 2005, he was ranked 4th in the world in the Laser, behind Scheidt, Paul Goodison of Great Britain, and Michael Blackburn of Australia. That month, he also won the two-person racing keelboat Star class 78th Bacardi Cup on Biscayne Bay, with <mask> as crew. In June 2006, Mendelblatt and Strube won the 2006 Kiel Week in Germany, beating Scheidt and crewman Bruno Prada. In August 2006, he and Strube won the Star European Championship over 93 boats in Neustadt, Germany, again defeating second-place finishers Scheidt and Prada. Mendelblatt accepted a position in the fall of 2006 with Emirates Team New Zealand, and in April 2007 replaced injured veteran Adam Beashel. Mendelblatt and Strube won Kiel Week again in both 2008 and 2009.In 2010, <mask> won the Miami Rolex OCR. In June 2011, he and Brian Fatih won the Star class medal race at the Skandia Sail for Gold Regatta in Dorset, England. <mask> and Fatih competed together at the 2012 Summer Olympics. See also

<mask> (born 16 November 1962) is an English football coach and former professional footballer. As a player, he was a defender from 1980 until 2000. <mask> began his football career with his hometown club Stoke City where he gained a reputation as an impressive young defender. After spending seven seasons with the Potters, and becoming one of English football's most coveted centre backs, he moved to Arsenal in 1988. At Highbury he formed a formidable back line with Tony Adams, Nigel Winterburn and his former Stoke teammate Lee Dixon and ended up with nine major honours to his name. He left the Gunners in 1999 and ended his playing career with Sunderland. Since his playing career has ended <mask> has worked at the successful Arsenal Academy as Head Youth Team Coach at Arsenal.He was promoted to Assistant Manager at the start of the 2012–13 season replacing the long serving Pat Rice. He later had a spells as head coach of U23s side. Club career

Stoke City
Born in Stoke-on-Trent, <mask> signed for his hometown club Stoke City as a schoolboy in 1978, turning professional in November 1980. He made his debut at right back in a 3–2 defeat away to Middlesbrough in September 1981. However, he was unable to command a regular place in the team, and was loaned out to Torquay United in October 1982 to gain first team experience, playing nine league games for Bruce Rioch's side. <mask> slowly became a regular in the Stoke side after Mick Mills switched him to centre back to replace Paul Dyson. It proved to be a shrewd move as he excelled in his new position and became a first team regular for the "Potters".A back injury that required surgery cost him appearances in 1986–87 and arguably Stoke a play-off place. By the end of the 1987–88 season it was generally acknowledged that <mask> was now the best defender in Division Two. Both Arsenal and Everton made approaches for the defender. After discussions <mask> chose Arsenal and a tribunal set the price at £390,000, a small fee compared to what Stoke were demanding. Arsenal
He moved to Arsenal for a fee of £390,000 on 13 June 1988, and became part of their "famous back four" defensive line-up, with Tony Adams, Nigel Winterburn and his former Stoke teammate Lee Dixon. <mask> won the First Division title twice in 1988–89 and 1990–91, playing in the club's famous 2–0 victory against Liverpool at Anfield where they won the title in the last minute of the last game of the season. He was voted player of the year by the club's fans for the 1991–92 season, though it was a less successful season for the club as defending champions, managing only a fourth-place finish in the league and suffering an early exit from the European Cup, as well as a shock first hurdle exit from the FA Cup at the hands of minnows Wrexham.On 15 August 1992, he had the distinction of being the scorer of Arsenal's first Premier League goal on the opening day of the season at Highbury, breaking the deadlock in the 28th minute although Arsenal went on lose the match 4–2 to Norwich City. However, injury ruled him out of the FA Cup and League Cup finals that Arsenal won in 1992–93, and his place in the team was taken by Andy Linighan who scored Arsenal's winning goal in the FA Cup final replay against Sheffield Wednesday. After winning the Cup Winners' Cup final in 1993–94, further success eluded Arsenal and <mask> for several years, and the arrival of French manager Arsène Wenger in October 1996 led some to speculate the ageing <mask> would leave the club (especially as he was now often second-choice behind Martin Keown); instead it spurred a brief revival, and <mask> became an important member of the squad that won the double in 1997–98. He famously set up Tony Adams with a chipped throughball for the final goal in Arsenal's 4–0 win over Everton, the match that won them the Premier League title. Two weeks later they won the FA Cup to complete the double. His final season at Highbury was a disappointing one. Arsenal reached the FA Cup semi finals where they drew with Manchester United to force a replay.With the score at 1–1 in the final minute of the game, Arsenal were awarded a penalty. Peter Schmeichel saved from Dennis Bergkamp and a winner from Ryan Giggs in extra time ended Arsenal's defence of the trophy. A month later they were beaten to the Premier League by Manchester United. Sunderland
By now age was against <mask> and he moved to newly promoted Sunderland in July 1999 for a fee of £500,000. Following the departure of skipper Kevin Ball in December 1999, manager Peter Reid made him club captain and he helped them finish seventh – just missing out on a UEFA Cup place. He stayed at the Stadium of Light until arthritis contributed to his retirement in September 2000 having played only 21 Premier League games for Sunderland. International career
Despite forming part of one of the most secure top-flight defences of the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s, <mask> won only two caps for England, far fewer than fellow centre half Tony Adams, and didn't make his first full international appearance until the age of 31.Both caps came under Terry Venables in Wembley friendlies against Greece (5–0) and Norway (0–0) at the end of the 1993–94 season. Coaching career

After retiring, he began working towards his UEFA coaching badges and in June 2001 moved back to Arsenal and became a coach for the youth teams. He was the head coach of Arsenal's U18 Academy side, whom he led to the Premier Academy League title in 2008–2009, 2009–2010 and FA Youth Cup in 2008–2009. On 10 May 2012, it was announced that <mask> would become Arsenal's new assistant manager following the retirement of Pat Rice at the end of the season. On 5 June 2019, <mask> swapped jobs with Freddie Ljungberg to become the U23s coach in a major restructuring of Arsenal's coaching staff. In May 2021, he was sacked from his role as a coach of the U23 team. Career statistics

Up to 1969
<mask> started his professional rugby league playing career at Blackpool Borough where he became club captain, and Player of the Year before being transferred to Barrow, and then onto St. Helens, where he played from the January of the 1965–66 season until the end of the 1968–69 season. Championship Final appearances

BBC2 Floodlit Trophy Final appearances
<mask> played  in St. Helens' 4–7 defeat by Wigan in the BBC2 Floodlit Trophy Final during the 1968–69 season at Central Park, Wigan on Tuesday 17 December 1968. Cronulla
<mask> was brought in by the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks for the next few seasons (1969-73). In that era it was fairly normal for Australian clubs to bring in British internationals. Upon Cronulla coach Ken Kearney leaving in the 1970 season, <mask> was offered and accepted the role of player-coach for his remaining time at the Sharks. <mask>'s first match as coach in 1970 provided a 23–13 win over the Newtown Jets at Endeavour, but the club lost their next seven consecutive matches.Then out of the blue, came one of the greatest wins in the club's history. The Sharks thrashed the premiership bound South Sydney Rabbitohs 25–6 with a style of open football that was soon to become the club's famous trademark. In 1971 <mask> helped the Cronulla Sharks secure Great Britain power front rower Cliff Watson, and the club had their best season in of their history, winning a total of ten matches. Cronulla finished the season one win from the play-offs and that result most likely would have been even better, had it not been for <mask> succumbing to injury snapping his achilles tendon. This meant <mask> would not return to playing for the Sharks until the first match of the 1973 season. In the 1972 season Cronulla won eight of 22 games and languished in the lower half of the table, which just shows how much of a key <mask> was to their side. The year 1973 saw <mask>'s Cronulla Sharks make the end of season play-offs for the first time in the club's history and they did it in style.The Sharks lost only five games in the whole home-and-away season and finished just one point behind eventual Minor Premiers Manly, and ahead of local rivals St George. Cronulla being drawn against the Dragons defeated them surprisingly comfortably 18–0 in their first ever semi-final with the help of <mask>, Watson and Rogers. <mask>'s Sharks lost to Manly leaving them having to achieve a win over Jack Gibson's Newtown to achieve the club's first Grand Final appearance. Cronulla established a crushing 18–4 half time lead over the Jets, before eventually winning 20–11. The Sharks were into the Grand Final in their first visit to the play-offs. Coach <mask> though knew that the Cronulla side's only real hope of beating the defending Premiers Manly was for his team of youthful players to niggle and unsettle the glamour Sea Eagles. Utilising the skills of Cliff Watson to lead the way, the 1973 Grand Final was the most brutal ever seen as the Sharks threw everything at Manly.In the end, it was a champion performance by Bobby Fulton that saw the Sea Eagles home 10–7. This result was disappointing for <mask> but his name had been etched into Sharks history from the day. In 2005 <mask> was made an immortal of the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks. Latter years
After the 1973 season, <mask> was embroiled in a contractual dispute with the financially crippled Sharks, and he moved to captain-coach Northern Suburbs in the Brisbane competition. In the 1974 season the Devils were minor premiers but lost the major semi-final to Valleys and the preliminary final to Brothers. In 1975 the Devils finished second after the home-and away season but again failed in the finals, losing the major semi to Western Suburbs and the preliminary to Redcliffe. In 1976, Norths fell to last and <mask> was replaced by former “master coach” Bob Bax.Non-playing coach
For the 1978 season, <mask> was appointed coach of Illawarra in the New South Wales Country Championships, which was contested between the various leagues of the Country Rugby League. After he coached Illawarra to an undefeated record and the Amco Cup quarter-finals, <mask> received offers to coach Parramatta, North Sydney as well as to continue with his job in the Country Championships. <mask> soon declined the offer to coach Parramatta because he did not accept the degree of control he expected to gain over the team, and on 13 July accepted a contract to coach the Bears for the next three seasons. At the time the Bears had not reached the finals since 1965, but it was thought <mask>'s experience in England might help bring the players to make the club competitive after having won only one game in the 1978 season when he was appointed and lacking the wealth to compete for the best players. <mask>'s move to North Sydney proved a disaster from the beginning when they lost all five pre-season encounters including a 13–17 loss to a Port Kembla team. Early in the season it was clear he was not lifting the team despite persevering with players he had hoped to build into a formidable combination before the pre-season started. For the entire 1979 season the Bears won just two games for their worst record since 1919.On 9 August, with three games remaining, <mask> resigned as coach of the Bears. After the season he said that they were not terrible rugby league players but that they had forgotten how to win. Initially after leaving the Bears it was though <mask> would not coach in 1980, but after the resignation of Norm Provan, <mask> was appointed as non-playing coach of his former club Cronulla in September 1979. The Sharks had finished in the top three in 1978 and 1979, but <mask>'s return proved another personal disaster as his Shark team finished ninth in a twelve-team competition after a strong start. Despite this, <mask> was initially re-appointed for the 1981 season, but when he refused to talk to the club after the season finished the club announced they would severe ties with him. <mask>, who had established himself in Australia ever since he joined Cronulla as a player, returned to England after this double setback and coached several British rugby league teams between 1980 and 1985.

<mask> (Tausug: Nūr Miswāri, born <mask>; March 3, 1939) is a Moro Filipino revolutionary and politician, founder and leader of the Moro National Liberation Front. Personal life
<mask> was born on March 3, 1939, in Tapul, Sulu, Philippines. The fourth of ten children, his parents were of Tausūg-Sama descent and came from Kabinga-an, Tapul Island. His father was <mask>, who worked as a fisherman, and his mother was Dindanghail Pining. <mask> is a direct descendant of Panglima Mahabasser Elidji, a Tausūg warrior and representative from the Sultanate of Sulu who he claims helped the Sultanate of Brunei forces under Sultan Muhyiddin during the civil war in northern Borneo, after which the eastern part of Sabah was rewarded to the Tausūgs by Sultan Muhyiddin. <mask>'s father moved their family from Tapul to Jolo, Sulu when he was still young. He attended Jolo Central Elementary School from 1949 to 1955 and studied at Sulu National High School for his secondary education from 1955 to 1958.<mask>'s family experienced financial difficulties and could not afford to send him to college. His teacher assisted him to acquire a scholarship from the Commission on National Integration, which allowed him to study at the University of the Philippines, Manila. <mask> initially took up a degree in liberal arts, intending to pursue medicine. Instead, <mask> shifted his course to political science in his second semester with the intent of taking up law, despite the fact that his father "hated" lawyers. He became active in many of the university's extra-curricular activities, particularly in debate. After attaining his bachelor's degree in political science from the University of the Philippines in 1962, he entered the College of Law at University of the Philippines, Diliman but dropped his law studies in his second year after being convinced by his mentor and now national author, Caesar Majul, to pursue a master's degree related to political science. He finished his master's degree in Asian studies in 1964 at the Asian Center of the University of the Philippines, Diliman.In 1964, <mask> founded a radical student group called the Bagong Asya (New Asia). Together with Jose Maria Sison, he also founded the Kabataan Makabayan (Patriotic Youth). Until 2016, <mask> had five wives, his first wife was Desdemona Tan, who died of illness in Islamabad, Pakistan. The elder sister of the deceased Desdemona, Eleonora Rohaida Tan then became his second wife. His third and fourth wives are Tarhata Ibrahim and Maimona Palalisan. His fifth wife comes from the tribe of Subanen, while Sherry Rahim became his sixth wife. As per polygyny, Islam allows men to marry up to four wives currently alive at the same time, thought <mask> already have six wives, this does not include his first wife who has been deceased.Political career

Through Cesar Adib Majul, <mask> became a lecturer at the University of the Philippines in political science in July 1966 until his retirement as instructor on November 15, 1968. In the 1960s, he helped establish the Mindanao Independence Movement which aimed to organize an independent state in southern Philippines. The Mindanao Independence Movement formed the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) that sought political reforms from the government of the Philippines. Unable to gain reforms, the MNLF engaged in military conflict against the Philippine government and its supporters between 1972 and 1976 under the leadership of <mask>. The military resistance to the government of former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos did not produce autonomy for the Moro people. <mask> departed to Saudi Arabia in self-exile, returning to the Philippines after Marcos was removed from office during the People Power Revolution in 1986. <mask> justified the MNLF armed struggle on the non-implementation of the Tripoli Agreement, originally signed by Ferdinand Marcos and later included and accepted in the peace agreement signed by former Philippine president Fidel Ramos in the 1990s.This agreement established an autonomous region for Moros, where <mask> became governor. Removal as ARMM governor

After he was installed as the region's governor in 1996, his rule ended in violence when he led a failed rebellion against the Philippines government in November 2001, thus illegally escaping to Sabah, Malaysia. During his time there, his third wife Tarhatta together with their three children were allowed to visit by the Malaysian government. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) regional chairman suggested the Malaysian government send <mask> to Saudi Arabia or Libya to avoid "political persecution" by the Philippine government. However the Malaysian leader at the time, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad resisted by saying; "We cannot entertain asylum as <mask> had not used his powers correctly although we provide support for him in the past for his bid on autonomy that saw the creation of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)". He was then deported back to the Philippines, and removed from his office by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2001 before being arrested in 2007 on charges of terrorism. On December 20, 2007, he was denied a petition for bail and remained under house arrest in Manila.The Philippine court however, granted the bail petition of <mask>'s seven co-accused, at 100,000 pesos. On April 25, 2008, he was allowed to post bail, upon the instructions of the Cabinet security cluster. According to Moro sources, <mask> is a "charismatic leader" who held considerable sway over the indigenous people in Mindanao but lost this backing because of his mismanagement and the corruption of his officials during his tenure as governor for the ARMM. Controversy and criticism
Since the 1970s, there has been an animosity between Moro separatist leaders that resulted in the creation of MILF and other factions of MNLF due to falling-outs with <mask>. His rage towards Malaysia began when the Malaysian government sent him back to the Philippines and supported the MILF on the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro which resulted in his dissatisfaction towards Malaysian leaders. As a form of revenge to the Malaysian government, he made a controversial statement by stating the Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah as part of the Bangsamoro lands between March and July 2013, as well as supporting an intrusion by a self-proclaimed Sultan Jamalul Kiram III of the now-defunct Sultanate of Sulu as legal. As a result, his word had resulted into many Moro refugees (who have resided in both states since the 1970s to escape the war in southern Philippines without any legal permission) to be discriminated and be sent back to the Philippines, and caused <mask> to be labeled as a "terrorist" by the Malaysian government (which also had been on effect to the Jamalul Kiram III group).<mask> also began to resent the MILF for being "a tool been used by the Malaysian government to promote disunity among the Moro peoples" in which he was then criticized by the MILF for his attitude of "blaming everybody for the failure of his past leadership and growing irrelevance to the Bangsamoro struggle to self-determination". On September 9, 2013, <mask> was convicted of his rebels encounter with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) which saw massive casualties and thousands of residents been affected. In denying their action, the MNLF stated they were in Zamboanga City only to hold a peaceful rally to assert the implementation of the GRP-MNLF Agreement but they were coerced by the AFP that compelled them to defend their own lives. The AFP and the Philippine government portrayed the MNLF as terrorist as they were causing chaos in the city and using civilians as a human shield. The conflict lasted until September 28, 2013, with more than 50,000 families, comprising 118,000 people (which 23,000 of them are children) lost their homes and many other properties. <mask> had since been living in self-exile and insisted that they were attacked by the AFP. The Philippine government has been trying to get him in custody for causing chaos.In 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte said that he would drop any previous charges by past administration for the arrestment of <mask> due to his old age. The move was also supported by the Department of Justice (DoJ). However, in the same year, <mask> again made a controversial proposal by calling the government to include the extreme terrorist-group Abu Sayyaf in Moro peace talks that was responded with a rejection by the Philippine government and the country armed forces as the group has committed "too many murders to innocent civilians", Duterte also cited that the Abu Sayyaf group had been repeatedly called before to stop their terrorist activities, but the group continued to do so and followed the law that pushed the need for the group to be destroyed. Despite Duterte's plans to drop charges against <mask>, the government of Zamboanga City has made a clear stand that they will pursuing cases against <mask> for his previous siege in the city as we ought to follow the rule of law though we respect the actions of the President according to the city legal officer, Jesus Carbon Jr.

<mask> returned to accusing neighboring Malaysia by saying "Malaysia is using Moro people for kidnappings since the 2000 Sipadan kidnappings and said that he wanted to drag the country leaders to International Criminal Court (ICC), saying that "the [pieces of] evidence are available as his people are everywhere and Malaysia cannot escape as because they are continuing to hire Moro people". In response to the accusation towards the neighboring country, Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman urged <mask>n urged <mask> to give his evidence and name any Malaysian politicians who he claimed was involved as any allegation must be accompanied by evidence. In addition to that, as Malaysia has its own laws, they would investigate and condemn the involved suspects immediately if they know their identity.Malaysian Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Ronald Kiandee also persuaded <mask> to prove his allegation if his claim was true, while Kinabatangan member of parliament Bung Moktar Radin said he was not surprised by the accusation towards Malaysian politicians as he had seen similar talks occur in Malaysia coffeeshops, but stressed if the allegation was true then the Malaysian authorities must take action on any individuals involved. Meanwhile, the Sabah Suluk Solidarity Council (SSSC) regretted the remarks and urged the Malaysian Embassy in Manila with the help of Philippine government to find out the identity of any Malaysian leaders who were involved in the kidnapping activities. The AFP and Philippine National Police (PNP) also requested <mask> to present his evidence than only making allegations. Malaysian Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Shahidan Kassim began investigations to verify claims by <mask> and admitted there could be involvement of certain groups. In response to all questions directed to him, <mask> said he'd present all the evidence only to ICC. He also stated that he wouldn't sit on the same negotiating table with MILF who he described as "traitors", as well accusing fellow MNLF faction Muslimin Sema and ARMM Governor Mujib Hataman of "associating with drug lords and involvement in the 2016 Davao City bombing". As a response, President Duterte said that he'd be ready to give <mask> group a separate peace talks as <mask> didn't want a similar peace talk with the MILF.The President stated "I will talk to everybody soon after my visit to Malaysia". Corruption charges
<mask> has been charged with graft following the "anomalous" bidding of educational materials that was committed between 2000 and 2001 during his term as the governor for the ARMM, amounting to ₱137.5 million. He was charged with 3 counts of graft and 3 counts of malversation of non-existent educational materials. According to the charge sheets filed before court by the Office of the Ombudsman on May 22, 2017, and released to media on May 24, <mask> authored the purchase of materials for 3 separate educational projects in the ARMM in 2000 and 2001. All of these materials, according to state investigations, were never delivered. See also

<mask> (May 20, 1899 – August 23, 1992) was an American character actress whose career spanned six decades, during most of which she played older women, even when she was in her twenties. Over the 46 years she was active as an actress, she worked in films, stage, radio and television. She was famous for her one-woman stage show, Americana Sketches, which she did for more than 1,000 performances during a 15-year span. Married to actor and studio executive Sam Wren, she co-starred with him in one of the first television family comedies, Wren's Nest, in the late 1940s and early 1950s. She gave birth to fraternal twins, <mask> and Christopher, in 1936. Later in her career she worked on television, and in commercials. She died from heart failure at the age of 93 at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital in 1992.Early life
Born on May 20, 1899, in Urbana, Illinois to Frank Orville and Lillie Belle (Partlow) <mask>, she attended the University of Illinois for two years, before transferring to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, from which she graduated. Her brother, vaudeville comedian Charles "Chic" <mask>, convinced her to leave New York and pursue a career in Hollywood films. Career
Upon her arrival in Hollywood, <mask> quickly discovered it was easier for her to get character roles as older women. Even though she was still in her twenties, <mask> was cast as old women in many films. Her career began at the end of the silent film era, with her first film being Legionnaires In Paris (1927). Her early career included roles in  Moby Dick (1930), Oliver Twist (1933), and Madame Du Barry (1934). During this period she met actor and studio executive Sam Wren, and the two were married in 1935.The following year she gave birth to fraternal twins, <mask> and Christopher. She developed her own one-woman show, Americana Sketches, based on her life and experiences growing up in Urbana, Illinois. During the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, she performed this piece more than 6,000 times, including touring Europe during World War II, performing for the troops. She was also a frequent performer on radio, and was a regular on For Those We Love, a radio serial in the late 1930s and 1940s. During this period, she continued to appear in films, including: Topper (1937), starring Cary Grant and Constance Bennett; When Tomorrow Comes (1939), with Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer; Raoul Walsh's They Died with Their Boots On (1942), starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland; Badman's Territory (1945) and Trail Street (1947), both with Randolph Scott; and Night and Day (1946), directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Cary Grant. In 1947, she had a recurring role in back-to-back films centered on a detective character, Russ Ashton (played by Tom Neal): The Hat-box Mystery and The Case of the Baby Sitter. While a series based on the character might have been planned, these were the only two films produced about the character by Screen Art Pictures.As the television industry began, <mask>'s husband, Sam Wren, developed a sitcom for the new medium. Entitled Wren's Nest, it centered around the family life of the Wrens, starring the couple and their twin twelve-year-old children, and ran three times a week during 1949. <mask> took a hiatus from the film industry in the 1950s, focusing on television, mainly in commercials. In the 1960s, she began to appear on episodic television, including a featured role on  Petticoat Junction from 1965 to 1969. She also returned to the big screen, appearing in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967), and One Man's Way (1964). Her final film appearance was in a small role in 1973's Slither, starring James Caan, Peter Boyle, and Sally Kellerman. Later years
She remained married to her husband, Sam, until his death in 1962.In her final years, she lived at the Motion Picture and Television Country Hospital in Woodland Hills, California, where she died on August 23, 1992 from heart failure.

<mask>, 1st Baronet, FRS (16 July 1780 Clerkenwell – 24 January 1850 Brighton, Sussex) was a wealthy British gin distiller, and promoter of Arctic exploration, with various places in Nunavut, Canada, being named after him. Life and family
Sir <mask>'s ancestry traces back beyond the 13th century when his family were lords of the manor of Barton, Lancashire. Five generations later, Sir <mask> (1350–1422) wed twice at Eccles parish church where the <mask>s were patrons of the living, firstly to Joan Trafford (died 1411) and secondly to Maude Savage, collectively producing thirteen children (and two Archbishops of York). Their eldest son Sir <mask> (1395–1482) married Isabel Carrington, in 1431, before settling on family estates in Lincolnshire. The second son, Sir <mask> made a particularly advantageous marriage in 1409 to Dulcia Venables, thereby inheriting de jure uxoris the vast Massey estates in North-West England and whose descendants were ennobled in the 17th century as Barons Delamer then Earls of Warrington. Other family cadets include the <mask> baronets (of Allerton Beeches), the <mask> baronets, <mask> (Countess of Rosenborg) and Dr <mask> (Countess of Ulster). Sir Thomas and Lady Isabel (née Carrington) had seven offspring giving rise to two Booth families in Lincolnshire: <mask> married Ann Ashton at Goxhill founding the "Booths of Goxhill", whilst their younger son <mask> (1425–1500), who became Deputy Admiral of the North, married Elizabeth Gascoyn in 1460, being progenitors of the "Booths of Killingholme" following the marriage of Sir <mask> (1582–1617) with the heiress Elizabeth Ayscough; they are ancestors of the <mask> baronets of Portland Place.Five generations later, <mask> of Killingholme (1556–1597) married Martha Butler circa 1573 and they had four offspring, of which their son <mask> (1582–1617) married in 1607 Elizabeth Monckton. Their son Captain <mask> (1608–1657) married at Market Rasen on 13 June 1631 Elizabeth Wright, daughter of John Wright. <mask>'s marriage produced ten offspring, of whom their son <mask>, born 1639 (who would become Sir <mask>'s 2× great-grandfather), married at Market Rasen on 23 November 1670 Elizabeth Middlemore (died 1687), producing four sons and four daughters: their first son Revd <mask> (1672–1717) was Rector of Lusby (becoming Sir <mask>'s 1× great-grandfather) marrying Elizabeth Sanderson on 20 June 1700 at Ulceby, their third son Captain <mask> (1677–1742) marrying Lady Susannah Clinton (1680–1754), only daughter of the 6th Earl of Lincoln and their fourth son Very Rev Dr Penyston <mask> (1681–1765) marrying Katherine Jones, daughter of Revd Dr Edward Jones. From the marriage of Revd <mask> and Elizabeth Sanderson in 1700, their second son <mask>, born 1703, married Alice Green on 25 July 1729 at Ulceby and they would have eight children comprising six boys and two girls. It would be their first son <mask>, born 22 July 1730, who would be Sir <mask>'s first cousin once removed. Richard married Ann Hill in 1753 at Irby upon Humber near Caistor and took up residence in the village of Caistor. Richard and Ann had nine children comprising six sons and three daughters and their last born son <mask>, born 1773, married Ann Wastnedge in 1799 and had a son named <mask>, born 1805.<mask> died in 1800 aged 70. It was reported in The Gentleman's Magazine in 1840 that "the late <mask>'s daughter Miss <mask> of Caistor Lincolnshire died on 22nd April 1840 in her 82nd year. She was a cousin to Sir <mask>". From the marriage of <mask> and Elizabeth Sanderson on 20 June 1700 at Ulceby, their third son <mask>, born 1711 (who would become Sir <mask>'s grandfather), made his way to London and became involved in the distillery business, from which a major British company would evolve. <mask> married a Mary Watts on 3 January 1739 at Westminster London, and by 1740, <mask> was aged 29 years and <mask>'s Gin was very popular. John and Mary produced at least four offspring including their son <mask> who was born during 1745 (substantiated by his obituary saying he died on 5 May 1818 aged 73). A second son <mask> was born 1748 and reference to him was reported in The Gentleman's Magazine in 1804 when it said "<mask>'s youngest daughter Jane died in her seventeenth year at Caistor Lincolnshire".She was presumably visiting or staying with her Uncle <mask> and Aunt <mask>. Nothing is known about the remaining offspring. Around 1760, <mask> joined his father John in the family business and in about 1771, he married Elizabeth Walls, whose father lived – as did Philip – in the new and fashionable Russell Square on the Bedford Estate in Bloomsbury London. Philip and Elizabeth produced seven children, comprising four sons and three daughters, Elizabeth, born 18 July 1773 + William, born 25 July 1774 + John Gillyat, born 17 March 1776 + Mary, born 15 August 1777 + Philip, born 24 November 1778 + <mask>, born 16 July 1780 + Alice, born 4 August 1782. In the Directory of Merchants for 1778, when Philip was aged 33, there is the entry of the firm Philip Booth and Company, Distillers, of 55 Turnmill Street in Clerkenwell London. Philip's three sons William, John Gillyat and <mask> would join the family business and be groomed as successors. However shortly before Philip's death in 1818, the original family partnership was dissolved and a new one established between the brothers John Gillyat aged 40 and <mask> aged 36.Together they had – to a great extent – rebuilt the Turnmill Street premises and it would be <mask> who subsequently obtained sole control of the business. With energy and drive, <mask> expanded the business by building a second distillery at Brentford on the River Thames just six miles from Hyde Park Corner, and purchasing the neighbouring brewery of Hazard and Company, which he renamed as the Red Lion Brewery. By establishing a distillery at Edinburgh in Scotland, <mask> could then boast that he was the owner of the biggest distilling business in Great Britain. In 1828, now aged 48, he was elected a Sheriff of the City of London and of the County of Middlesex. <mask> had now accumulated considerable wealth and decided to use his money to privately fund a voyage of exploration to the Arctic Seas, financing Captain Ross and his twenty-two companions, equipped with stores and supplies to last several years, on a voyage on the paddle-steamer "Victory". They departed from Woolwich Reach on 23 May 1829 and returned to Hull, Yorkshire on 18 October 1833, having survived many exploratory experiences. Whilst Captain Ross had failed to open up a North-West passage, he had dramatically narrowed the field for future expeditions by mapping an area of over half-million square miles.For <mask>'s financial contribution to such an effort, he was knighted by the King and created a baronet "as a reward for his patriotism in fitting out at his sole cost an expedition in the endeavour to discover a North-West Passage". In 1832, Sir <mask> bought the site of the old Ophthalmic Hospital in Albany Street, Regent's Park as a site for his distillery. In 1840, he went into partnership with William Grimble to experiment with producing vinegar from the spirits left over from the manufacturing process. The site was in the north-east corner of Cumberland Market. The venture was unsuccessful so Sir <mask> reverted to the more conventional method of vinegar brewing. Between 1840 and 1843, Sir <mask> was faced with a blackmail situation and it was ultimately taken to court in 1843. Sir <mask> had a second cousin once removed also named <mask>, born 1805, being the grandson of <mask> of Caistor Lincolnshire.<mask>, no doubt envious of Sir <mask>'s wealth, threatened – with the intent to exhort money – to reveal to the police that Sir <mask> had committed unlawful sexual crimes, namely homosexual relations with a young man named Marr. Sir <mask> attended the hearing in Hull Yorkshire, vigorously denying the claims asserted by <mask>. Sir <mask> admitted to the court that he had fathered a male child with a Scottish woman in Edinburgh that he was very fond of, and had financially assisted the child through his growth years. This situation had made <mask> insanely jealous. The 'love child' was referred in the court as simply Mr Marr. The court ruled Sir <mask> to be innocent and <mask> was found guilty of blackmail and sentenced to twenty years' transportation to Australia. William Bradley (1801–1857), one of England's leading painters / engravers of the era painted a portrait of Sir <mask> around 1850, coloured in a mezzo-tint style which hung in the Court Room of the Coopers' Company until its destruction in an air raid over London during World War II.Sir <mask> died unexpectedly of heart failure whilst staying in a seaside hotel at Brighton in 1850, aged 69. His funeral procession was staged with all the solemn pageantry of the Victorian period, and passed respectful bare-headed villagers lining the roadside in Edmonton and Hoddesdon. Six horses, preceded by outriders, drew the hearse, six coaches of mourners followed it and Sir <mask>'s private carriage, empty of passengers, brought up the rear. It was said that "Sir <mask> dies generally and justly lamented. he was in every respect a princely citizen of London. His immense wealth, acquired by his own industry, was devoted to the benefit or enjoyment of others. His disposition was amiable and his habits splendid.He took delight in hospitality and in acts of kindness and charity". Sir <mask> had not married but his illegitimate son John Marshall Marr – mentioned in the 1843 Hull Court hearing as simply Mr Marr – married Emma Minchin on 26 September 1836 at Exeter in Devon, and they produced eight daughters and four sons, named George, born 1837 + William, born 1845 + Arthur, born 1852 + John, born 1855. John Marshall Marr was adequately benefited by the Will of Sir <mask>. Booth's Gin, owned by Diageo, ceased production in 2017. In November 2018, the brand was sold to the Sazerac Company. Geographical expeditions
Fascinated by science, <mask> financed John Ross's 1829 expedition to find the Northwest Passage. The Boothia Peninsula and Gulf of Boothia are named after him.He provided £17,000 for the expenses of the expedition, to which Captain (later Sir John) Ross had added £3,000, and the result was an immense stride in the progress of geographical science. The grateful commander bestowed the name of his patron upon several of his discoveries on land and sea – Gulf of Boothia, Isthmus of Boothia, Continent of Boothia Felix, Felix Harbor, Cape Felix, and Sheriff's Harbor: the district with the islands, rivers, lakes, &c., extending to 74° N. latitude along the north-eastern portion of North America. The discovery most important to geographical science was that of the magnetic pole at 96° 46' 45" W. longitude, and 70° 5' 17". Honours and distinctions
Having served as Alderman and Master of the Worshipful Company of Coopers, <mask> was elected Sheriff of London in 1828. A founding Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, <mask> was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society on 10 April 1834. In recognition of his funding the successful Arctic expedition, he was created a baronet as <mask> of Portland Place, co. Middlesex and Great Catwood, co. Huntingdon on 27 March 1835, with special remainder, in default of his own legitimate male issue, to the heirs male of his eldest brother, <mask>, of Roydon Hall, Essex. His nephew, Sir Williamson <mask> (1810–1877), succeeded him as 2nd baronet.See also

<mask>, (16 September 1874 – 28 February 1962) was a Swedish physicist and teacher at a folk high school. She was the first woman in Sweden to become a docent in physics. She is known for her contact with and support of the poet Dan Andersson, for her friendship and support of the physicist Lise Meitner, and as a Catholic writer. Biography

Background
<mask>'s parents were häradshövding (district judge) <mask> (1830–1900) and his wife Elisabeth Boström (1838–1914). She was the sister of <mask>, mayor of Uppsala, and niece of prime minister Erik Gustaf Boström (1842–1907) and philanthropist Ebba Boström (1844–1902), founder of the charitable institution Samariterhemmet in Uppsala. <mask> was born at Mälby farm in Roslags-Kulla (now in Österåker Municipality). Academic career
Despite her family's wishes she wanted an education and studied for a year at the Askov folk high school in Denmark, where Poul la Cour encouraged her interest in physics and mathematics.In 1901, <mask> matriculated at Uppsala University, in 1907 she passed her licentiate exam and in 1908 she defended her doctoral thesis about infrared radiation absorption in gases. Her thesis was praised and she was given a docent stipend, becoming the first woman physics docent in Sweden. Starting in 1909 she worked as a docent at the Physics department in Uppsala with the support of professor Knut Ångström. But following Ångström's sudden death in 1910, <mask> was not allowed to teach, except as a temp. Only after 1925 were women allowed to work at universities in Sweden. In 1912, after being stopped from being a professor in Uppsala and at Chalmers tekniska läroanstalt because she was a woman, <mask> applied for a position at University of Berlin. The institution had number of outstanding physicists, among them Albert Einstein, Max Planck, <mask> Laue, Walther Nernst, Fritz Haber, Lise Meitner, James Franck and Gustav Hertz.<mask> developed a close friendship with Lise Meitner. After her visit to Berlin, <mask> exchanged letters with Meitner; she also had close contact with the mathematician and theoretical physicist Carl Wilhelm Oseen in Uppsala. In January 1913, <mask> again travelled to Berlin, where she worked under professor Heinrich Rubens. During her time there, <mask> conducted experiments that supported Max Planck's theories, which made her the only Swedish physicist to be mentioned by Niels Bohr during his Nobel lecture in 1922. During that spring, <mask> was invited to work with James Franck and Gustav Hertz, and joined their group that autumn. Return to Sweden

At the beginning of January 1914, <mask> had to cut short her time in Berlin to care for her ill mother. The year after she planned to return to Berlin, but due to the outbreak of World War I that was not possible, so  she took a position as teacher at Brunnsvik folk high school in Dalarna.At Brunnsvik, she met Niklas Bergius (1871-1947), a fellow teacher, whom she married on 19 June 1917. In the autumn of 1918, food was scarce in Sweden due to the war and the school was closed, so the couple travelled to Charlottenlund in Denmark where they met with Jesuits. This period in Denmark awakened <mask>'s interest in Catholicism, before that she had been an atheist. After the end of World War I, Lise Meitner visited <mask> in Sweden and  stayed in her home for four weeks. In the winter of 1919-1920, <mask> traveled to London, Pau, Algiers, Tunis, and Italy. After some years, she moved to Kungälv in order to be closer to the Catholic congregation in Gothenburg. When Lise Meitner's situation in Germany became dangerous during the summer of 1938 <mask>, together with Wilhelm Oseen and Niels Bohr, was very active in helping her to escape and to arrange for her stay in Sweden and a research position.While in Sweden in December 1938, Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch managed to theorize nuclear fission. After the outbreak of World War II and the German occupation of Norway, <mask> was active in the Swedish humanitarian organization Svenska Norgehjälpen (Swedish Support of Norway). <mask> <mask> was also a philanthropist, and for some time she supported among others Lise Meitner and the poet Dan Andersson. She also contributed funds to Brunnsviks Folkhögskola and donated the house in Kungälv that she had built. After her husband's death in 1947 <mask> moved to Uppsala. During her time in Uppsala she was interested in the Jesuit priest and writer Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and she kept contact and mail exchange with Lise Meitner. <mask> <mask> died on 28 February 1962 and was buried at the Catholic cemetery in Stockholm.Works
