 British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB).The merger may have saved Sky financially; despite its popularity, Sky had very few major advertisers to begin with, and it was beginning to suffer from embarrassing breakdowns. Acquiring BSB's healthier advertising contracts and equipment apparently solved the problems. BSkyB would not make a profit for a decade but by July 2010, it was one of the most profitable television companies in Europe. BBC
At The Sunday Times, he contributed to BBC, both radio and television. He commented on the various controversies provoked by the paper while he was editor. During the 1990s, <mask> fronted political programmes for the BBC, notably Despatch Box on BBC Two. Following the revamp of the BBC's political programming in early 2003, <mask> presented the live political programmes, This Week on BBC One and Daily Politics on BBC Two.The latter ended in 2018 and was replaced by Politics Live, which <mask> presented until he left the corporation. From 2007 to 2010, he presented the weekly one-on-one political interview programme Straight Talk with <mask> on the BBC News channel. He also presented Sunday Politics on BBC One between 2012 and 2017 and occasionally guest presented Newsnight on BBC Two following host Jeremy Paxman's departure in 2014. <mask> played an important part of the BBC general election night coverage in both 2010 and 2015. <mask> interviewed various celebrities on the River Thames for the 2010 election and political figures in the studio for the 2015 election. He also provided commentary on foreign elections, and with Katty Kay led the BBC's overnight live coverage of the US presidential election in 2016. In the run-up to the 2017 general election he interviewed five of the political party leaders on BBC One in The <mask> Interviews.<mask> earned £200,000 to £249,999 as a BBC presenter in the financial year 2016–17. In May 2019, <mask> interviewed Ben Shapiro, an American conservative commentator, on Politics Live on BBC Two. Shapiro was promoting his new book, The Right Side of History, which discusses Judeo-Christian values and asserts their decline in the United States. Shapiro took offence to the questioning, accused <mask> of having a left-leaning bias, and said <mask> was trying to make a "quick buck... off of the fact that I'm popular and no one has ever heard of you", before Shapiro ended the interview. Shapiro later apologised for the incident. During the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election, <mask> interviewed candidates Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson, in The Andrew Neil Interviews. Director of BBC News Fran Unsworth hailed it as "a masterclass of political interviewing".In August 2019, the BBC announced that <mask> would host a prime-time political programme that would run through autumn 2019 on BBC Two, called The <mask> Show. The show included "in-depth analysis and forensic questioning of key political players". It was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and then cancelled as the BBC went through with budget cuts. On 24 September 2019, <mask> presented a live programme on BBC One entitled BBC News Special: Politics in Crisis, addressing the Supreme Court judgement which deemed Boris Johnson's prorogation of parliament unlawful. In the run-up to the 2019 general election, <mask> interviewed all the leaders of the main political parties, excluding Johnson, having delivered a monologue in The Andrew Neil Interviews issuing him a challenge to participate. On 15 July 2020 the BBC announced that <mask> was in talks about an interview show on BBC One. The next month he was discussed in the media as Sir David Clementi's possible successor as chairman of the BBC; he later said he had no interest in the role.The Director-General of the BBC, Tim Davie, on his second day in the role, held talks with <mask> "in an attempt to get him back to the BBC" and it was reported that he was also in discussions with executives from commercial rivals. <mask>'s final appearance for the BBC was when he presented coverage of the 2020 US presidential election, again with Katty Kay. GB News
On 25 September 2020, <mask> announced his exit from the BBC to become chairman of GB News, a news channel launched on 13 June 2021. As well as being chairman, he presented <mask>, a prime time evening programme on the channel. Two weeks after the channel's launch, after having hosted eight episodes of his show, he announced he would be taking a break. He spent months in his hiatus involved in legal disputes with GB News over ending his contract. However, <mask> and the channel publicly maintained that he was taking a holiday, and he was expected to rejoin the channel in early September.As that time approached, multiple news sources reported that his return had been postponed, with some speculating that this postponement might become indefinite. It was further reported that he was "highly unlikely" to return to the channel. On 13 September, <mask> resigned from GB News as chairman and lead presenter and announced he would enter a new role as a guest contributor. Later that month, on the BBC's Question Time, he said that he had left his roles at GB News over the direction the channel was taking, and that he had become a "minority of one" within senior management. It was reported that these remarks had angered GB News bosses and that <mask> would not be appearing on GB News again. On 22 September, <mask> said he would not return to GB News. <mask> later called his decision to lead the channel the "single biggest mistake" of his career, comparing the channel to Fox News.Return to Channel 4
In January 2022, it was reported that <mask> was in talks with Channel 4 about presenting a weekly politics show to be launched later in 2022. On 30 January, Channel 4 aired a documentary, Boris Johnson: Has He Run Out of Road?, in which <mask> explored the future of Boris Johnson's premiership following repeated allegations of parties held in Downing Street during the COVID-19 lockdown. Political positions

War in Afghanistan
<mask> was a vocal and enthusiastic proponent of British military involvement in Afghanistan. <mask> derided those who opposed the war as "wimps with no will to fight", while labelling The Guardian as The Daily Terrorist and the New Statesman as the New Taliban for publishing dissenting opinions about the wisdom of British military involvement. For questioning whether "Bush and Blair are leading us deeper and deeper into a quagmire", <mask> ridiculed Daily Mail columnist Stephen Glover, calling him "woolly, wimpy" and "juvenile". He compared Tony Blair to Winston Churchill and Osama bin Laden to Adolf Hitler, while describing the United States invasion of Afghanistan as a "calibrated response" and a "patient, precise and successful deployment of US military power". War in Iraq
<mask> was an early advocate of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, describing the case for war and regime change advanced by Tony Blair and George W. Bush as "convincing" and "masterful".In 2002, <mask> wrote that Iraq had "embarked on a worldwide shopping spree to buy the technology and material needed to construct weapons of mass destruction – and the missile systems needed to deliver them across great distances", and that "the suburbs of Baghdad are now dotted with secret installations, often posing as hospitals or schools, developing missile fuel, bodies and guidance systems, chemical and biological warheads and, most sinister of all, a renewed attempt to develop nuclear weapons." He wrote that Saddam Hussein would provide Al-Qaeda with weapons of mass destruction, and that Saddam had links to the September 11 attacks. Climate change
<mask> has been accused of rejecting the scientific consensus on climate change and has been criticised for frequently inviting non-scientists and climate change deniers to deny climate change on his BBC programmes. In 2012, Bob Ward of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics, said that <mask> had "rarely, if ever, included a climate scientist in any of its debates about global warming" on his BBC programme Daily Politics. Ward wrote that <mask> let inaccurate and misleading statements about climate change go unchallenged on Daily Politics. In November 2020, <mask> said that climate change was real and needed to be confronted. He criticised protests by Extinction Rebellion on Remembrance Day, stating: "I've interviewed Extinction Rebellion on several occasions and most of what they say is total nonsense or total exaggeration."HIV/AIDS
During <mask>'s time as editor, The Sunday Times backed a campaign to falsely claim that HIV was not a cause of AIDS. In 1990, The Sunday Times serialised a book by an American right-winger who rejected the scientific consensus on the causes of AIDS,  and who falsely claimed that AIDS could not spread to heterosexuals. Articles and editorials in The Sunday Times cast doubt on the scientific consensus, described HIV as a "politically correct virus" about which there was a "conspiracy of silence," disputed that AIDS was spreading in Africa, claimed that tests for HIV were invalid, described the HIV/AIDS treatment drug azidothymidine (AZT) as harmful, and characterised the World Health Organization (WHO) as an "Empire-building AIDS [organisation]." The pseudoscientific coverage of HIV/AIDS in The Sunday Times led the scientific journal Nature to monitor the newspaper's coverage and to publish letters rebutting the falsehoods printed in The Sunday Times. In response to this, The Sunday Times published an article headlined "AIDS – why we won't be silenced", which claimed that Nature engaged in censorship and "sinister intent". In his 1996 book, Full Disclosure, <mask> wrote that his HIV/AIDS denialism "deserved publication to encourage debate." That same year, he wrote that The Sunday Times had been vindicated in its coverage, "The Sunday Times was one of a handful of newspapers, perhaps the most prominent, which argued that heterosexual Aids was a myth.The figures are now in and this newspaper stands totally vindicated... The history of Aids is one of the great scandals of our time. I do not blame doctors and the Aids lobby for warning that everybody might be at risk in the early days, when ignorance was rife and reliable evidence scant." He criticised the "AIDS establishment" and said "Aids had become an industry, a job-creation scheme for the caring classes." In a 2021 interview <mask> said that he now regretted certain aspects of the paper's coverage of HIV and AIDS, but he was unwilling or unable to accept any personal responsibility for the falsehoods published while he was editor. <mask> chose instead to blame an employee, stating that he had placed faith in a trusted correspondent who was found to be wrong. Republicanism
In January 1997, ITV broadcast a live television debate Monarchy: The Nation Decides, in which <mask> spoke in favour of establishing a republic.When asked in 2021 by the BBC if he was still a republican, he changed his mind, saying "Not really." Private Eye
The British satirical and investigative journalism magazine Private Eye has referred to <mask> by the nickname "Brillo" after his wiry hair, which is seen as bearing a resemblance to a Brillo Pad, a brand of scouring pad. In a long-running joke, a photograph of <mask> wearing a vest and baseball cap in an embrace with a much younger woman (often mistaken for Pamella Bordes, a former Miss India, but really an African American make-up artist with whom <mask> was once involved) appeared regularly in the letters page of the magazine for some years, and is still used occasionally. Typically, a reader will ask the editor if he has any photographs relevant to some topical news item, frequently with a veiled allusion to the age-gap between two individuals, or to ethnic diversity. By double entendre, the letter can be construed as a request for this photo, which is duly published alongside. <mask> claims to find it "fascinating" and an example of "public school racism" on the part of the magazine's editorial staff. Personal life
Formerly dubbed the "Bachelor of Fleet Street", <mask> married Susan Nilsson on 8 August 2015.He had dated the Swedish civil and structural engineer for several years. Nilsson is currently director of communications of engineering and environmental consultancy, Waterman Group PLC. By 2006 he had 14 godchildren but he has no children of his own. <mask> is a resident of France and also has homes in London and New York. <mask> has threatened to sue the American businesswoman and former lover of Boris Johnson, Jennifer Arcuri, over claims she made on Twitter linking <mask> to the billionaire and child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein, as well as other Twitter users who retweeted or endorsed her now-deleted tweet. <mask> denies ever meeting Epstein and argues he was put in his infamous "black book" by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's procurer.

<mask> (born 1948) is an English politician who was the Mayor of Doncaster from 2009 to 2013. He was initially elected for the English Democrats, but announced his resignation from the party on 5 February 2013 citing "a big influx of new members joining from the British National Party". He subsequently lost narrowly the 2013 election to Labour's Ros Jones. Personal life
Born in Woodlands on the outskirts of Doncaster in 1948, <mask> went to school in Thorne, then worked at Danum School as a teacher. He is married. He is also the Chairman of Sykehouse Cricket Club and a member of the Campaign for Real Education and the Campaign Against Political Correctness. <mask> is the father of <mask>, the Conservative MP for Shipley.Political career
<mask> was a member of the Labour Party until 1973 when he joined the Conservatives. He remained in the Conservative Party until Prime Minister John Major signed the Maastricht Treaty in 1993. United Kingdom Independence Party
<mask> then joined the strongly eurosceptic United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). He contested Yorkshire South at the European Parliament election in 1994, taking 2.6% of the votes cast. Three years later, he contested Doncaster Central at the 1997 general election, getting 462 votes. The following year, in 1998, a by-election arose in the Yorkshire South European constituency and <mask> stood again, against the wishes of the then UKIP party leader Michael Holmes but with the support of Nigel Farage and John Whittaker, who put up his deposit. <mask> came last in the poll, but saved his deposit, increasing his share of the vote to 11.6%.English Democrats
<mask> left UKIP and joined a UKIP splinter group UK Reform. UK Reform then merged with the English Democrats which meant that <mask> joined the English Democrats by default, he was shortly afterwards given the title Chairman of the South Yorkshire branch of the English Democrats. He stood in Doncaster's Finningley ward in the 2008 local elections, achieving second place with 1,033 votes, over 20% of the vote and stood in both the European elections and the Doncaster mayoral election in June 2009. He was placed fourth on English Democrats' party list for Yorkshire and the Humber, a list that achieved 2.6% of the vote. In the mayoral race, <mask> took second place in the first round of voting, but won by around 400 votes once second preferences had been taken into account. Mayor of Doncaster
<mask>' mayoral campaign had called for harsher punishments for "young thugs", withdrawal from the European Union, withdrawal of council translation services, a reduction in the number of Doncaster councillors, and for local schools to opt out of local authority control. Once elected, <mask> was interviewed on BBC Radio Sheffield and Look North where the interviewers questioned the legality and achievability of his manifesto promises.One of <mask>' first decisions was to announce a cut in his own annual salary from £73,000 to £30,000. He is an opponent of political correctness who pledged to stop funding the town's gay pride event, although organisers maintained that the event brought business to Doncaster. Later, he confirmed the event for 2009 would be funded as arranged before his election. He has also pledged to end and reverse town twinning as a waste of money, joking that he would use his two words of German to tell a visiting delegation Auf Wiedersehen (goodbye). He also insists he is "not conned by global warming" and has described climate change as "a scam". Vote of no confidence
On 22 February 2010, <mask>' proposals for a three per cent council tax cut were opposed and a vote of no confidence against him was carried. Doncaster Council criticised the leadership of <mask> and his cabinet, and described his proposed 2010–11 budget as "irresponsible".<mask> declined to resign. On 2 June 2010, the government appointed a new chief executive and three commissioners to lead the council. Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said the measures were needed to turn the council around "after 15 years of poor governance and dysfunctional politics". In October 2010, <mask> was disciplined by the council for breaching the code of conduct by failing to declare his membership of the Campaign Against Political Correctness. In February 2013 it was reported that <mask> had left the English Democrats and would run as an independent in the 2013 Doncaster mayoral elections. In May, <mask> lost narrowly to the Labour candidate, Ros Jones. Incidents and statements
<mask> attracted widespread media attention during his period in office, with a series of contentious announcements."Praise" for the Taliban
Speaking in September 2009, <mask>' conservative approach to family values was unequivocal as he spoke of his admiration for the "ordered way of life under the Taliban." <mask> made it clear it was the moral code he was an admirer of while detesting the Taliban themselves, adding, "The point I was making was that even a regime as hideous as the Taliban at least appear to have sort of decent sort of family affairs. In fact probably...they have an ordered society." He continued: "We in this country have created mayhem through lax social policies of disregard for marriage and the family and we have created mayhem in society." Child protection services in Doncaster
After an incident in which two young boys living in Council care were given indeterminate sentences for the torture of two other children, an Audit Commission report stated that: “Those leading the council – the mayor and cabinet, some councillors and some officers – do not collectively have the capacity or capability to make the necessary improvements in governance.” <mask> responded that he thought it “a very black report without any shade of colour at all and painted the town as a dreadful hole that no one would ever want to come to or live in and that is not Doncaster”, adding, "The town has been languishing in the doldrums under Labour rule and it's time that it made use of its huge advantages." Library closures
<mask> has been criticised by Doncaster residents after admitting that he had never borrowed a book from a public library and walking out of a public meeting convened to discuss the proposed closure of a local library, a branch that <mask> admitted to having never seen. Elections contested

<mask> (born 26 August 1981) is a West Indian cricketer. Since 2002, he has played domestic cricket for his native Barbados, with a season at English club Yorkshire in 2010. <mask> made his Test debut in May 2003 and played his first One Day International a year later. A back strain incurred in May 2004 prevented <mask> from playing cricket until March the following year. In 2008 <mask> signed to play in the Indian Cricket League because he had not played international cricket since 2006. He returned to the side when the West Indies fielded a side weakened by contract disputes between leading players and the West Indies Cricket Board but was dropped shortly after. On his return to the Test side on 10 June 2012, he broke the record for highest score by a number 11 batsman, making 95 against England at Edgbaston.Later in 2013 his record was surpassed by Ashton Agar, who scored 98. The 143-run partnership with Denesh Ramdin in the same match was also notable; it is the third-highest Test stand with one wicket remaining. Early career
<mask> <mask> made his debut in first-class cricket on 25 January 2002, playing for Barbados against Guyana in the Busta Cup. He opened the bowling with Ian Bradshaw and in the first innings took four wickets for 50 runs (4/50), and Barbados won the match by 162 runs. <mask> finished his debut season with 17 wickets from 5 matches at an average of 24.29 with a single five-wicket haul. International breakthrough
At the time of his Test call up for the Test series against Australia, <mask> was Barbados' leading wicket-taker in the Carib Beer Cup for the 2002/03 season with 39 dismissals. Though <mask> was originally drafted in as cover for fast bowler Jermaine Lawson who had chicken pox, when <mask> made his debut in the third Test he opened the bowling with Lawson.The West Indies lost and <mask> bowled twenty overs without taking a wicket. After an ineffective first Test, <mask> was overlooked for the West Indies' overseas tours and drifted out of contention with the emergence of fellow fast bowlers Fidel Edwards and Jerome Taylor. Back at domestic level, he fell out of favour and struggled to be selected for Barbados' Red Stripe Bowl side. While he was infrequently chosen for the one-day team, he improved on his previous season's wicket tally in the first-class competition and finished with 49 wickets including three five-wicket hauls, and was rewarded with a call up to the West Indies side to face England in March 2004. <mask>'s first international wickets came in his second Test, the first in a four-match series against England; his maiden dismissal was that of batsman Graham Thorpe. England won the series 3–0 and <mask> finished as the West Indies' leading wicket-taker in the series (and third overall) with 12 from four matches at a cost of 25.08 runs each. Between June and August 2004 the West Indies embarked on a return tour of England.<mask> played in the Lord's Test and was stumped off Ashley Giles' bowling after some banter from Andrew Flintoff wound him up sufficiently to try to slog the ball into the windows at Lord's. During the match <mask> suffered a back strain and was unable to take part in the rest of the series. It was hoped that the fast bowler would recover within a month, however the injury was more serious than initially hoped and he did not play cricket again until March 2005. In the Second Test against Pakistan in June 2005, after a wicketless first innings – where he had Kamran Akmal caught off a no-ball – and a second innings spell of 5-0-30-0, <mask> took four wickets in 11 balls, as Pakistan faltered from 223 for 4 to 309 all out. However, it was not enough to give West Indies the win. <mask> was fined half his match fee in July 2005 for bowling three beamers during a Test against Sri Lanka. He was dropped from the Test side after the July 2005 tour of Sri Lanka.<mask> appeared in the cricket movie Hit for Six playing a Barbados cricket player. International fringes
Despite successful performances for Barbados in domestic cricket by the time <mask> signed with the rebel Indian Cricket League in February 2008 he had not played international cricket since May 2006. <mask> played Twenty20 cricket for Mumbai Champs during his spell at ICL, he also played Twenty20 that season for Barbados. In July 2009, there was a pay dispute between the West Indies players and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). As a result, an understrength squad was picked for the series against Bangladesh: of the 15 players named, which included <mask>, nine were uncapped. Sriram Veera of ESPNcricinfo noted of his performance on the second day of the first Test that "[<mask>] has, in the past, been guilty of trying to bowl faster than what he was capable of and being erratic as a result. Today, he repeatedly hit the short-of-length in the off-stump channel and slipped in the occasional bouncer."Those two wickets were his only scalps in the series and he ended up conceding 192 runs. The West Indies lost the series 2–0 as Bangladesh secured their first overseas series win. All the players who played for the West Indies during the contract dispute were given central contracts by the WICB, including <mask>. <mask> signed a contract with Yorkshire County Cricket Club in April 2010 to represent them until the end of May. After some good performances, his contract was extended, but his form tailed off and he was demoted from opening the bowling, before being dropped from the team at the end of July. In nine first-class matches for the club, <mask> managed 18 wickets at a cost of 44.05 runs each. He was more successful in Yorkshire's one-day matches, taking ten wickets from five matches at an average of less than 20.In August 2010, <mask>'s central contract was not renewed. <mask>'s domestic performance in the 2011/12 season, in which he took 17 first-class wickets at an average of 20.64, led to his recall to the international squad: in March 2012, <mask> was selected in the West Indies' ODI squad to face Australia at home. Though he did not play in the series, two months later when the West Indies toured England <mask> was drafted into the Test squad as cover for injured fast bowler Shannon Gabriel. In July 2014, he played for the Rest of the World side in the Bicentenary Celebration match at Lord's. References

Jerome "<mask>" Thompson is an English hip hop/reggae artist and businessman. <mask> was born in Small Heath, Birmingham, England. Both <mask>'s mother and father were sound system DJs and selectors during the British reggae movement of the 1970s. His father most notably was in the National Champion "Cosmic" sound. <mask> is an accomplished DJ in his own right and has played at many clubs, house parties and even blues' (Jamaican all night dances). He has also been involved in many sound clashes as a DJ. He feels equally comfortable, be it on stage performing a rehearsed show, making up freestyle rap (off the top of his head where the crowd has provided subjects) or behind the decks.<mask> has been described as the epitome of the consummate professional. <mask> is also the founder of the club night Rum 'n' Bass and since 2010 has held residencies across the UK taking his particular blend of Caribbean infused UK dancing music to the people. Younger years
As a baby, Serocee was sent to his family's home town of Kingston, Jamaica, where he was schooled. Young Serocee lived with his extended family while he was in Jamaica and this was where he had his first real exposure to Reggae music. From this point on, his lasting love affair with music was born. Due to a strict Christian upbringing (by his aunt and uncle), reggae music was not allowed in the home, but it could be heard almost everywhere else. He recalls seeing a lot of big Reggae artists in their younger years, when they were freestyling on the corner.Regularly Sero would join in. As he was only young and had not yet honed his talent, he would merely recite lyrics that had already been recorded by established artists. All of this formed part of Serocee's performance schooling. Serocee showed signs of his musical talent at an early age and his native roots still resonate through his work. Over the years, many have commented that his exposure and acceptance of different genres of music has helped to elevate him both as a performer and lyricist – thus setting him apart from his rivals. Serocee penned his first melody at the age of eight and has gone on to write songs for himself and other notable artists. As a teenager he returned to Birmingham, England.Serocee found the transition tricky and often got into altercations with his new counterparts. He quickly became known for having clever/witty responses to any quips from his adversaries and soon his foes were suffering from a more verbal punishment. "We'd spend hours cussing/blazing at lunchtimes, during class, break times then after school – basically at any opportunity. I guess that was all part of my training". By the age of 14 <mask> and long-time friend DLT created a rap group called "Crossfire" and they achieved local success working with British Reggae Icons such as Pato Banton. Being part of the Birmingham Hip Hop scene during the "Golden Years" of rap meant there were many battles going on whether it was in a club, on a sound system or on the street corner with somebody beat-boxing. Over those years battling, not only did Serocee gain plaudits from his peers, but he was also widely renowned as one of the best and most versatile freestyle rappers in Birmingham and won many competitions.It was from this point on, that Serocee became known for his ability to switch between Reggae and Rap. Not only was Serocee able to cross genres but his lyrical prowess demonstrated finesse as he always made a conscious effort to refrain from excessive profanity and derogatory lyrics. Serocee's major musical influences span across a number of musical genres from Reggae to Jazz. The most notable artists to influence his music range from the likes of Bob Marley and Ninjaman to Nas, Redman, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. "The list goes on I suppose I have an eclectic musical pallet" Serocee said nonchalantly in an interview once. Current
Since moving to London in 1999, he has been busy with various aspects of life both musically and day to day living, "People sometimes don't realise that music is like a relationship, one minute you're in love the next minute you can't stand it but for a musician you always end up making back up with it". Serocee's debut single "Life" was released in 2006 and received critical acclaim.Since then he has released further singles and been involved on projects with Basement Jaxx, MJ Cole, Zed Bias, and Toddla T, plus Shaggy collaborators Brian and Tony Gold, General Levy, South Rakkas Crew, Lloyd Brown, Karl Hinds, Seanie T, Roots Manuva and Moorish Delta. In addition to his extensive recording, Serocee has also been touring both as a solo artist and also with other groups namely Basement Jaxx, Public Enemy, The Roots, Busta Rhymes and many more. Serocee has also been involved with the "Whose Rhyme Is It Anyway" shows – this is where a completely improvised stageshow is created with full input from the audience. Business ventures
In December 2008, Serocee founded the Windrushpickney brand, which is not only a reflection of his roots but it is also a way of life for many ethnic minorities living in Britain today. Windrushpickney consists of a Caribbean car rental company, a music publishing company and a record Label. Serocee's entrepreneurial ventures also stretch to a music production firm "No Long Ting Ltd" and a social magazine. Serocee also founded a club night called Rum 'n' Bass in 2010 and since then has held residencies in Brighton and South London.Most recent work
Serocee still continues to record with Urban Monk and in August 2009 released the single "Bandeng". However, due to the major response it received it was remixed for re-release in March 2010.

He released the highly successful Gene Hoglan: The Atomic Clock DVD, and rejoined Testament to record the drum tracks for their eleventh album, Dark Roots of Earth, released in July 2012. <mask> had since rejoined Testament permanently, and by the time he left the band again in January 2022, he was their longest serving drummer. <mask> was featured on the cover of Modern Drummer magazine in November 2010.He also won Terrorizer magazine's Reader's Poll for Best Drummer 2010, and Modern Drummer magazine nominated <mask> for Best Metal Drummer, and Best Recorded Performance (for Dethklok's Dethalbum II) on their 2011 ballot. He was nominated for Best Drummer in Revolver magazine's 2010 Reader's Poll. Biography

<mask> got his first drum kit when he was 13 and is completely self-taught. He started jamming along to his Kiss and Rush records, with Peter Criss and Neil Peart being his early influences. Later Cozy Powell, Tommy Aldridge, Robb Reiner of Anvil, Rob "Wacko" Hunter of Raven and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor got him into double bass drumming. Other influences include Stevie Wonder, Alex Van Halen, Steve Smith, Deen Castronovo, Mark Craney, Terry Bozzio, Bill Bruford, Steve Gadd, Sonny Emory, Rick Colaluca of Watchtower, Bobby Jarzombek, Dave Culross. In 1983, <mask> began his music career as a roadie (lighting engineer) for the thrash metal band Slayer, where he also played the drums during concert soundchecks.He also did backing vocals on the song "Evil Has No Boundaries", from the first Slayer album Show No Mercy. He contributed in the recording of Haunting the Chapel, holding Dave Lombardo's drum kit together while recording "Chemical Warfare" because there was no carpet in the studio, said drum kit including a china cymbal owned by <mask>. He became an influence in Lombardo's drumming style and speed. Lombardo had just had the double bass added to his kit and it was the first double bass Hoglan ever played. Lombardo was impressed with <mask>'s playing, and Hoglan gave Lombardo tips regarding the use of the double kick drum. In 1984, <mask> was part of the band War God with Michelle Meldrum. At the end of the same year he was asked to join the thrash metal band Dark Angel as the drummer.He penned most of the lyrics for Dark Angel's next three albums. He achieved greater fame during the mid-1990s playing with Death, at the same time that bandleader Chuck Schuldiner was taking that group into a more progressive style. Subsequently, he recorded one album with the thrash metal band Testament, and made the acquaintance of Canadian multi-instrumentalist Devin Townsend, forging a lasting friendship. Around this time, coming off of the final tour he performed with Death, <mask> was approached by Slayer to replace a departing Paul Bostaph. Jon Dette, however, took the position, much to <mask>'s approval. He would go on to record several albums with Townsend, both as part of the speed/industrial/death metal band Strapping Young Lad and under Devin Townsend's name. <mask> was also part of thrash metal band Tenet, a side project of Strapping Young Lad guitarist Jed Simon, from 2003 to 2007.<mask> left the band on amicable terms in January 2007. He was replaced by Adrian Erlandsson only to return to the group in June of the same year. <mask> recorded his drum parts for the entirety of the following album in a mere two days. On the Vancouver stop of Opeth's 2004 Lamentations tour, <mask> stood in for drummer Martin Lopez, who was said to be having panic attacks. Opeth's drum tech had filled in for the two previous dates on the tour and Lopez rejoined the band for the Seattle, Washington, show. In 2005, <mask> stood in for Lopez for the majority of the Sounds of the Underground tour when Lopez began having more panic attacks. Hoglan played double duty by playing a set with Strapping Young Lad then performing with Opeth later in the evening.It was later announced Lopez had a rare blood disorder and was seeking treatment. <mask> also appeared in Opeth's music video "The Grand Conjuration" as they filmed it on the tour while in Los Angeles, California. Other bands have also recruited <mask> as a session drummer. He has recorded albums with the Norwegian black metal band Old Man's Child and the Danish death metal band Daemon. Additionally he has done production and engineering work for other albums and demos. <mask> also was recruited by Vancouver thrash metal band The Almighty Punchdrunk, and appeared as a band member for their only album to date, Music for Them Asses, released in 2001. <mask> is working with Dethklok, the band from the animated TV show Metalocalypse.The show was co-created by stand-up comedian/actor/musician Brendon Small, who also composes or performs all of the music. <mask> features in Dethklok's debut album, The Dethalbum, which was released on September 25, 2007. He toured with Brendon Small and the live band during the summer of 2008. Besides working with Dethklok, <mask> is also a guest star by voicing a health inspector in one episode of the series. He later performed on Dethalbum II, the sequel album released on September 29, 2009, and again toured with Dethklok. The two later collaborated to make Brendon Small's Galaktikon using extra studio time from the Dethklok studio sessions. <mask> filled in as the drummer for Unearth when their then drummer, Mike Justian, quit while on tour.He has also joined the metal band Pitch Black Forecast, with Mushroomhead singer Jason Popson, as the band's permanent drummer. Even more recently, <mask> was announced as the drummer for the reunited Bay Area Thrash metal band Forbidden's reunion tour, replacing original drummer Paul Bostaph. <mask> played drums on Zimmers Hole's third studio album When You Were Shouting at the Devil...We Were in League With Satan in 2008. In June 2011, he reunited with Testament, to record their eleventh studio album Dark Roots of Earth. On that album, he filled in for Paul Bostaph, who was unable to participate in the recording sessions because of a "serious injury". In 2012, he began touring with Testament, and on January 27 filled in for Charlie Benante of Anthrax. Although <mask> was initially brought back to the band as a temporary drummer (in a fashion similar to his initial tenure when he recorded the Demonic album), he has since rejoined as a permanent member of Testament, recording two more albums with the band – Brotherhood of the Snake (2016) and Titans of Creation (2020) – and surpassing original drummer Louie Clemente as their longest-serving drummer.<mask> announced his second departure from Testament on January 21, 2022. <mask> was the drummer for Fear Factory from 2009 to 2012 and played on their release Mechanize; his association with the band ended when he was "no longer needed", and he expressed both a reluctance to join and a disappointment in the ultimate resolution of his tenure. He also participated in the recording sessions of Viking's reunion album, No Child Left Behind (2015). In October 2013, it was announced that <mask> would be participating in the reunion of Dark Angel, who still play live occasionally to this day. The band is also planning to release a new album in the future. Other ventures
In 2017, <mask> released an art collection consisting of long-exposure photography of him playing with colorful glowing drumsticks, resulting in psychedelic imagery. <mask> made a guest appearance in the season 2 finale of The Eric Andre Show on Adult Swim.Equipment
<mask> endorses and uses Pearl Drums, Sabian cymbals, Pro-Mark sticks and Evans heads.

<mask> (born August 7, 1967) is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher who played for seven teams during a 15-year career. He was a member of both the 1999 and 2000 World Series champion New York Yankees. Major League career
<mask> attended Tarkington High School in Cleveland, Texas. He was selected 10th round (252nd overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies of the 1985 June amateur Baseball draft. Like many relief pitchers, <mask> began his career as a starting pitcher. But he became a full-time reliever while a member of the Yankees. Philadelphia Phillies (1989–1991)
<mask> began his career in 1989 and pitched very poorly, surrendering 13 runs in 18 innings.The following year, he went 3–2 and made 11 starts. In 1991, he went 1–7 with a 4.87 ERA in 12 starts. Following the 1991 season, he was traded to the Houston Astros for Curt Schilling. Out of the league and Cleveland Indians (1992–1995)
He spent the entire 1992 season in the minors and on March 30, 1993 he was released by Houston and signed with the Cleveland Indians. In his first season with Cleveland, he went 3–4 over 10 games, and in 1994, went 5–2 with a 4.57 ERA in 14 games. <mask> is known for his leading role in the 1994 Bat Burglary involving Albert Belle and an allegedly corked bat that was taken away by umpires for examination by the league. <mask> was the player who crawled through a Comiskey Park air conditioning duct to reach the room where the confiscated bat had been secured.He took the corked bat and replaced it with a clean bat. Not accounted for in this plan, however, was the fact that Belle's bat had his name on it, and the replacement had teammate Paul Sorrento's name on it instead, leading to the heist being caught before the end of the day. The incident made ESPN.com's "Biggest Cheaters in Baseball" list at number 4. The next season, he was used mostly as a reliever, making only two starts. Following the season, on February 14, 1996 he was traded to the Angels. California Angels (1996)
<mask> went 5–7 with a 6.84 ERA in 1996 while making a career-high 20 starts. On October 8, he was granted free agency.Out of the league again (1997–1998)
<mask> signed with the Tigers on January 17, 1997, but was released following spring training. On April 3, he signed with the Brewers and on July 29, was traded to the Royals for Jamie Brewington. He was granted free agency on October 15. On January 8, 1998, he was signed with the Cleveland Indians. He did not appear in a major league game that year and was granted free agency on October 15. New York Yankees (1999–2000)
<mask> signed with the Yankees on January 26, 1999. With the Yankees, he rebounded, going 7–2 with a 3.60 ERA in 55 relief outings.<mask> did not pitch in the 1999 American League Division Series or the 1999 American League Championship Series, but pitched  innings of two-hit, two-walk ball in the 1999 World Series. In 2000, he was 3–2 with a 5.04 ERA. In the 2000 ALCS, he pitched one scoreless inning and earned his second World Series ring when the Yankees defeated the Mets in five games despite not pitching in the World Series. On November 20, he was released by the Yankees. Kansas City Royals (2001–2004)
<mask> signed with the Royals on January 19, 2001. In his first season in Kansas City he was 1–5. In three and a half years in Kansas City, he never posted a record better than .500 (he was 3–3 in 2004).He was 1–5 in 2001, 4–7 in 2002, and 2–6 in 2003. <mask> also gave up the famous home run to Scott Hatteberg that gave the Oakland Athletics their 20th straight win in 2002, as immortalized in the film Moneyball. On October 29, 2003, he was granted free agency, but re-signed on December 7. In 2004, he went 3–3 with a 3.38 ERA before being traded on June 21 to the Orioles for Denny Bautista. Baltimore Orioles (2004–2005)
<mask> went 2–4 in 2004 with Baltimore. In 2005, he posted a dismal 1–3 record with a 5.73 ERA, and was granted free agency on October 27. Arizona Diamondbacks (2006)
In 2006, he was 1–2 with a slightly better 4.88 ERA in 19 games before being released on June 7 after his use of performance enhancing drugs came to light.He subsequently retired. Illicit drug use
On June 6, 2006, it was reported that Federal officials had raided <mask>'s home looking for evidence that he was distributing human growth hormone (HGH) and other performance-enhancing drugs. The Arizona Diamondbacks released him at his request, shortly after it became public in June  that he had admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs. The Diamondbacks announced they would not pay the rest of his 2006 salary, an estimated US$875,000. <mask>'s agent Joe Bick stated that <mask> would contest the decision. Michael Weiner, general counsel to the players union stated that the union would file a grievance on his behalf. On June 12, 2006, <mask> was suspended for 50 games for violating Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.This penalty would take effect if <mask> ever signed a contract with a major league team and was placed on a 40-man roster. He was the fourteenth Major League Baseball player to be suspended for use of performance-enhancing drugs. ESPN reported that court documents showed that <mask> had failed an MLB-administered drug test in ; he subsequently confessed to the use of human growth hormones, amphetamines and steroids. His drug use began in  while in Buffalo, New York. After a nine-year MLB career, he was in the minors trying to get back to the majors after a shoulder injury. Among the drugs he has used are Deca-Durabolin, amphetamines, human growth hormone and Clenbuterol. Prior to the use of performance-enhancing drugs he had earned a total of $1 million; subsequently he earned $9 million.His ERA dropped by a run. On September 30, 2006,  the Los Angeles Times reported that <mask> told federal agents investigating steroids in baseball that Houston Astros pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte were users of performance-enhancing drugs and that Baltimore Orioles's Miguel Tejada, Jay Gibbons, and Brian Roberts were users of "anabolic steroids." On October 3, 2006, The Washington Post'''' reported that San Francisco United States attorney Kevin Ryan said that the Los Angeles Times report contained "significant inaccuracies." All five players named (Clemens, Pettitte, Tejada, Gibbons, and Roberts) denounced the story, with Clemens calling it "dangerous and malicious and reckless." Gibbons was later implicated in the steroid scandal by Sports Illustrated, who uncovered receipts issued by a Florida steroid mail order company in his name. On December 13, , he was cited in the Mitchell Report, an investigation into the use of anabolic steroids and HGH in Major League Baseball. On December 20, 2007, the report was unsealed by a U.S. magistrate, who harshly criticized the L.A. Times for what he called "irresponsible reporting"...or "manufacturing of facts."Neither, Roberts, Clemens nor Pettitte's names were mentioned by <mask> in any context whatsoever. The Times announced that it would publish a correction and apology for their misrepresentation of the facts. <mask> had told investigators that he got amphetamines, anabolic steroids and human growth hormone from someone recommended to him by former Yankees trainer Brian McNamee. The fact that McNamee was a personal strength coach for Clemens and Pettitte apparently prompted the Times'' to leap to the erroneous conclusion that <mask> had implicated them in his statement. Personal life
<mask> is married to his wife Dana, and they have three children, two sons, Hunter and John-John, and a daughter Rayne. On January 21, 2005, a small plane crashed into the back of <mask>'s house in Overland Park, Kansas. <mask> was not home at the time, but his wife, daughter, and nanny were; they escaped unharmed.The pilot and four passengers were killed.

<mask><mask> (born March 24, 1954) is an American geneticist and biochemist known for his work on the Human Genome Project (HGP). The National Human Genome Research Institute says the HGP “[gave] the world a resource of detailed information about the structure, organization and function of the complete set of human genes.”  <mask>' genome center, in collaboration with the Joint Genome Institute, contributed more than 10 percent of the data in the project. <mask> is President and Science Director of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, a non-profit research institute. He was previously the chair of the department of genetics at Stanford University and director of the Stanford Human Genome Center. His research focuses on the human genome with the goal of understanding how allelic variation and gene expression changes contribute to human traits, including diseases, behaviors and other phenotypes. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Selma, Alabama in 1954 and moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama at age 10. He attended college at the University of Alabama where he earned his bachelor's degree in biochemistry.He then went to graduate school at the University of California at Berkeley, earning his Ph.D.  in 1982 in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Tjian. After that, <mask> spent almost four years as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. <mask> at Harvard University, where he studied human gene regulation. Some new technologies he developed in <mask>'s lab exposed him to the field of human genetics, and much of his work since then has involved developing and using genomics and genetic tools to understand basic human biology and disease. Origins of the Human Genome Project
On behalf of <mask>, <mask> attended a conference sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the International Commission for Protection Against Environmental Mutagens and Carcinogens. 19 researchers, including <mask>, met at an Alta, Utah ski resort In December 1984 with a challenge in mind. The group explored how scientists might determine whether the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II increased the rate of mutations in the sperm or eggs of survivors. Scientists believed the high doses of radiation could have increased the germline mutation rate, but they would need methods to measure mutations in the children of survivors.Those methods would allow them to compare the number of mutations in offspring compared to exposed survivors of the bomb blasts. <mask> recalls a conference attendee saying, “The rate is so low that we would have to sequence the entire human genome to know the answer.”  Not long after, the Department of Energy proposed the basis for the Human Genome Project, which began in earnest in 1990. Early Genetic Research
In 1985, <mask> set up a lab at the University of California in San Francisco. His team sought to understand globin gene expression, studying both cis- and trans-acting components that regulate transcription of the gene. His team also worked on finding the mutated gene present in people with Huntington disease. <mask> teamed up with Dr. David Cox, a medical geneticist with a Ph.D. in yeast and human genetics. Their laboratories worked together for 15 years, on multiple technologies for gene hunting, including radiation hybrid mapping, a method that uses high-energy x-rays to fragment human chromosomes that were recovered in somatic cell hybrids and then used to determine the locations of DNA markers in the human genome.In 1990 they established a human genome center, which they moved to Stanford University in early 1993. The pair continued working on inherited human diseases. They found the genes for an inherited form of childhood progressive epilepsy (EPM1), a gene important for a key step in development of the cerebellum (the “weaver” gene), and others. Over the course of those years, the <mask> lab created and worked with mouse models for Huntington disease and EPM1. Human Genome Project Contributions
Cox and <mask> in their work at the Stanford Human Genome Center collaborated with the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) in Walnut Creek to sequence the first human genome. That collaboration led to maps of the entire genome, which played a key role in piecing the entire sequence together for the Human Genome Project (HGP). The Stanford group generated genome-wide maps as well as finishing of sequences of three human chromosomes, and their collaboration with JGI contributed 11% of the finished human genome.The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology
Biotech visionaries Jim Hudson and Lonnie <mask> founded the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in 2008, recruiting <mask> to lead the Institute as president and science director. The Myers Lab at HudsonAlpha studies the human genome, with a focus on allelic variation and how gene expression changes contribute to human traits, including disease. His group utilizes a number of high-throughput genomic methods, including DNA sequencing, genotyping, chromatin immunoprecipitation, mRNA expression profiling, transcriptional promoter and DNA methylation measurements. The lab also uses computational and statistical tools for identifying, characterizing and understanding how functional elements of the genome work together at the molecular level. Researchers in the Myers Lab use these and other state-of-the-art methods to explore how genomes are involved in brain disorders, ALS, cancer, children born with developmental disorders, autoimmune diseases and other traits.

Princess Delphine of Belgium (Delphine Michèle Anne Marie Ghislaine de Saxe-Cobourg; born 22 February 1968), known previously as Jonkvrouw <mask>, is a Belgian artist and member of the Belgian royal family. She is the daughter of King Albert II of Belgium with Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps, and the half-sister of King Philippe of Belgium. On 1 October 2020, she was lawfully recognised as Princess of Belgium with the style "Her Royal Highness". Earlier, she had belonged to the Belgian titled nobility and was legally Jonkvrouw Boël. Early life and career
Princess Delphine is the daughter of Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps, whose first husband was a Belgian nobleman and industrialist Jonkheer Jacques Boël. They divorced in 1978. Her biological father is King Albert II of Belgium.Delphine attended boarding school in England and Switzerland, and studied at the Chelsea School of Art and Design in London, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in fine arts (with honours) in 1990. She has been a guest lecturer at the Higher Institute for Fine Arts (HISK), Antwerp, and the Maastricht Art School. She is the founding patron of the Princess Delphine of Saxe-Coburg Fund based at Ghent University Hospital, promoting the use of art in health care. The Belgian brewery Struise produced a "Cuvée Delphine" beer for which she designed the artwork for the bottle label. Her sculpture Ageless Love is in the Gerdapark, Sint-Niklaas. In 2021, she designed the decoration of the Lamborghini Art Car. Personal life
James (Jim) O'Hare, an American of Irish descent, has been Delphine's partner since 2000.The couple has two children, Princess Joséphine of Belgium (born 17 October 2003) and Prince Oscar of Belgium (born 28 April 2008). Paternity case
On 19 October 1999, an 18-year-old Flemish schoolboy, Mario Danneels, published his unauthorized biography of Queen Paola, Paola, van 'la dolce vita' tot koningin (Paola, from 'la dolce vita' to Queen). The book contained a statement referring to the existence of a daughter born out of wedlock to King Albert. The Belgian press investigated, and traced Delphine. At first, both Boël and her mother refused to comment on the matter, and the palace dismissed Danneels' book as gossip and rumor. The Belgian press interpreted a short passage the king's 1999 Christmas speech as acknowledgement that <mask> Boël was, in fact, his natural daughter:

Christmas is a time for each of us to think of our family, of the happy periods but also the difficult times. The Queen and I remember very happy times, but also the crisis that we experienced more than 30 years ago.Together we could, over a long time, overcome those difficulties and recover a deep understanding and love for each other. This period was recalled to us recently. We don't wish to dwell on that subject which belongs to our private lives. But, if those who encounter similar difficulties today could get some encouragement from our own experiences, we would be very happy. The press interpret this to refer to the king's 18-year-long relationship with Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps. Boël gave an interview on 15 May 2005, to the France 3 presenter Marc-Olivier Fogiel in the broadcast "On ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde" (You Can't Please Everyone) in which she alleged for the first time that she was King Albert's daughter. She claimed that when she and her mother moved to England, when she was 9, Albert (not yet king) wished to divorce his wife and join them.Her mother apparently opposed this because of the political consequences for Albert. She said her mother told her the truth about her parentage when she became 17. In her upcoming interviews, Boël said she made a telephone call to Albert when she was 33 years old asking for help. According to her statement, he replied "Never call me again. You are not my daughter," which she said was hurtful. Boël added that her efforts to contact her father via telephone and sending letters or through friends and politicians failed. In June 2013, when King Albert lost his immunity to prosecution, Boël summoned him and his children Prince Philippe and Princess Astrid to appear in court.She hoped to use DNA tests to prove that she was the king's daughter. As king, Albert was immune under the law, and <mask> decided to summon her half-siblings too. When the king abdicated on 21 July 2013 immunity ceased, and Boël relaunched proceedings against him. In March 2017, the court ruled that her claim was unfounded, and her lawyers said she would take the claim to appeal. On 5 November 2018, a court ruling was published which instructed Albert to submit to a DNA test to determine whether he was Boël's biological father. DNA testing is not obligatory in Belgium, but not submitting to it is considered evidence of paternity. In January 2019, Albert appealed in cassation against the verdict, but on 16 May of the same year, the Brussels's Court of Appeals ordered the former king to pay a fine of 5000 Euros a day to Boël for every day he refused to take a DNA-test.On 27 January 2020, the DNA tests showed that King Albert II was the father of <mask> Boël. In October 2020, she and her children were granted princely titles by the Belgian court of appeals. As she was born out of wedlock, Princess <mask> and her descendants are not in the line of succession to the Belgian throne. Although court costs totalling €3.4m were awarded her on a substantial indemnity basis, she was not granted a royal endowment. She and her half-brother, King Philippe of Belgium, met on 9 October 2020 at the Palace of Laeken. The next day, King Albert II reacted in a press release, rejoicing over the meeting and stating "My wife and I are very happy by the initiative of the King, presage of happier days for all and in particular for Delphine. "<ref> Le Soir and La Libre Belgique"", 16th octobre 2020.</ref>

On 25 October 2020, she was received at Belvédère Castle by her father and his wife, Queen Paola. At the occasion of the Belgian National Day on 21 July 2021 she and her partner joined the royal family at the military parade for the first time. Titles and styles

<mask> and her children have been granted the titles of prince and princess of Belgium with the style of Royal Highness following a court decision of 1 October 2020. Earlier she had been styled as Jonkvrouw'' Delphine Boël. Arms

<mask> (; born Alexandru Al. Teodorescu, known in church records as Brother Agathon, later Daniil Teodorescu, <mask>, Daniil de la Rarău; December 22 or December 24, 1896 – November 17, 1962) was a Romanian poet, journalist, theologian and Orthodox monk. Having had an adventurous youth, he first became known in the late 1920s, when he contributed to the modern Orthodox revival, rallying with the journal Gândirea. Although a traditionalist and a critic of materialism, he was closely associated with the modernist scene, and generally supported left-wing causes. <mask> was also a scandal-prone journalist and newspaper owner, who faced accusations of slander and was avoided by his peers. From 1927, when he wrote his first akathist, <mask> made overtures toward Orthodox monasticism. Demanding universal penance, seeking to revive medieval hesychasm, he joined other mystics and writers in creating the "Burning Pyre" religious movement, and took orders in 1948.He was soon branded an enemy of the Romanian communist regime, and twice arrested for supposed political crimes. <mask> died at Aiud prison, a victim of torture and criminal neglect. His body was never recovered. <mask> <mask> is generally considered an unaccomplished writer, although his fusion of modernism and traditionalism has drawn critical interest. He enjoys a sizable following in the field of Orthodox theology, and, after the fall of communism, has been considered for canonization. Biography

Early life and career
The future <mask> <mask> was born Alexandru Teodorescu in the Romanian capital, Bucharest. His birthday, as recorded in reference works, is December 24, 1896, even though he himself gave it as December 22, 1896 (1886 in some sources).He had many siblings, including a brother who became a painter. Their father, also Alexandru, was a judge, who earned a modest income. Their mother was a Sofia Teodorescu. <mask> had a troubled and adventurous youth. He graduated high school in Ploiești city, where his history teacher gave him his first lessons in Christian philosophy. In 1916, as he was about to complete his secondary education, Romania entered World War I. <mask> was drafted into the Romanian Land Forces, fought in the defensive war of 1917, and reached the rank of Sub-Officer; he was eventually demobilized in 1921. An aspiring painter, <mask> made his way back to Bucharest, and enlisted at the Academy of Arts.He lacked the means to support himself, interrupted his studies, and traveled to the Black Sea port of Constanța, to live with his family. He then qualified as a seafaring officer, employed by the Romanian Merchant Fleet between 1922 and 1924. <mask> alternated these assignments with work in education, and was a substitute teacher at the high school in Pogoanele town. Once he decided to begin a fifth career, in journalism, <mask> returned to Bucharest. He had acquired a passion for book collecting: he is said to have gathered over 8,000 volumes in one place, making his one of the largest collections in Bucharest. He married and divorced three times, but did not have any children. The Christian Futurist
<mask>'s literary work and worldview were already assuming a Christian Orthodox and neo-traditionalist ethos.He soon rallied with the mystical Orthodox ("Orthodoxist") circles, whose informal leader was poet-theologian Nichifor Crainic. Beginning 1924, <mask> was among the writers affiliated with Gândirea literary magazine, helping Crainic to divert that publication from its modernist and secular agenda. After moving back to Bucharest, <mask> headed the Welfare department of the Association of Christian Students, publishing his first poetry collection, Comornic ("Cellar", or "Cellar-Keeper"), in 1925. It received a poor review from critic George Călinescu, who described <mask>'s style as "baroque" and "superficial". According to Călinescu, <mask> imitated the art of pre-Orthodoxists D. Teleor and Mateiu Caragiale, without blossoming into a "real writer." <mask>'s other contributions as a poet and literary theorist were in the extreme of Romanian modernism, and hosted by the avant-garde journal Contimporanul. They include the February 1927 essay Logica absurdului ("The Logic of the Absurd").According to literary historian Adrian Marino, it should be read as a "nihilistic" text, echoing the irrationalism of Dada and Futurism. In March, he contributed the Contimporanul editorial, a polemical text about the impact of cultural modernity. Researcher Paul Cernat sees in it a sample of "rather Futurist" Orthodoxism, noting its attack on the "supersexual" content and "gallantry" of minor modernism, as well as its praise of purity in high modernism. Taking its references from the modern spirituality espoused by Sâr Péladan, John Ruskin and Jean Cocteau, the article postulated an essential conflict in modern art, between the "Sons of suicide" and "the warrior Art of immortality". <mask>'s other contributions at Contimporanul were short poems, heavily influenced by Futurism and Expressionism, but structured around apocalyptic Orthodoxist visions. As Cernat notes, <mask> the poet surprised critics with his "organic" assimilation of modern "purism", while his Gândirea roots were still on display. With his synthesis of literary nihilism and Orthodox devotion, <mask> found himself at odds with the modernists' hero, poet-journalist <mask>.In Contimporanul, <mask> had hinted that Arghezi's "pseudo-avant-garde" poetry was vulgar and hedonistic. Arghezi, a defrocked monk, wrote to inform <mask> that he could see no profound link between Orthodoxy and the Romanian psyche. As Arghezi had it, modernized Orthodoxism was only kidding itself by assuming the contrary. <mask>'s comments in Contimporanul showed that the magazine staff was withdrawing from the revolutionary wing of Romanian modernism. Its conservative stance alarmed the radicals at unu magazine. They soon nominated <mask> as one of the authors who were sabotaging the whole modernist school. Around 1928, <mask> was in contact with the young religious scholar Mircea Eliade, who was becoming an exponent of experimental neo-traditionalism in Romanian philosophy.Both were influenced by Nae Ionescu, the theologian and logician, theorist of an eclectic ideology known as Trăirism. Looking back on that period in his 1980s memoirs, Eliade wrote: "I met often with Stelian Mateescu, Paul Sterian, Mircea Vulcănescu, and <mask> <mask>. Together we planned a journal of religious philosophy, for which <mask> had found a title: Duh și Slovă (Spirit and Letter)." The magazine, described by Eliade as a would-be successor of Ionescu's mystical journal Logos, never saw print. Dissident Orthodoxism
For his part, <mask> still defied classification. According to Cernat, he should be read as more of a "church-goer", facade, writer than a "religious" poet. In a November 1928 interview for the journal Tiparnița Literară, <mask> was very critical of the militant Orthodoxist circles.In <mask>'s view, Romania's Orthodox literati could find themselves duped by "a spirituality of the Dark one, very similar to that of Christ". He proposed that the religious revival needed to focus on "vigorous and harsh penance", with "the signs of a true confession". With Vulcănescu and Gheorghe Racoveanu, <mask> wrote the polemical tract Infailibilitatea Bisericii și failibilitatea sinodală ("Church Infallibility and Synodal Fallibility"), published on the front pages of Nae Ionescu's daily, Cuvântul (January 22, 1929). It presented arguments in favor of raising sacred tradition over the Romanian Synod's authority, and therefore in support of Ionescu's dissident stance on the computation of Easter (which the Synod affixed to March 31). In later articles for the same paper, <mask> challenged Church politics to the point of arguing that the Synod was schismatic. Reportedly, <mask> <mask> never managed to earn respect the principal Trăirist figures. According to the Trăirist writer Mihail Sebastian, Nae Ionescu regarded <mask> as an amusement; moreover, others in the press simply felt that <mask> was a "cretinous journalist".An even more virulent critic was the maverick Gândirea editor and left-leaning Trăirist Petre Pandrea, who contends that <mask> was notorious as a blackmailer. Pandrea and <mask> first clashed around 1928, shortly after Pandrea published his White Lily Manifesto of the revolutionary youth. <mask> criticized the document in his articles for Contimporanul. In 1932, however, the young art critic and political thinker Petru Comarnescu wrote that <mask>, Sterian, Vulcănescu and Petru Manoliu were four of the leading Orthodoxist Trăirists (or, as he called them, "Experiencialists"). For his part, Vulcănescu recognized such a categorization, but noted that Gândireas Orthodoxism was rather antiquated by the standards of "our generation". In his view, <mask> was one of the few men who could fit in with both Crainic's old Orthodoxists and the Nae Ionescu faction. In this context, Crainic co-opted <mask> and Eliade on his Gândirea editorial staff.The other new arrivals, reinforcing the magazine's traditionalist editorial policy, were Pandrea, Zaharia Stancu, G. Breazul, Dragoș Protopopescu, Vintilă Ciocâlteu and Sorin Pavel. While this reshuffling took place, <mask> consolidated his reputation as a mystic. His passion for the Orthodox tradition was voiced in his first religious hymn (or akathist), honoring Saint Dimitrie Basarabov, published by Gândirea in 1927, and collected in a 1940 volume. Described as a "superb" piece by theologian Marius Vasileanu, it earned <mask> blessings from the Synod. Sterian, who announced that, thanks in part to <mask>, Romanian poetry had entered its age of "religious glory", was directly inspired to write his own Akathist to the Venerable Mother Parascheva the New. Literary critics were less impressed. The immediate reactions to the reinvention of akathist verse ranged from the positive (literary columnist Perpessicius) to the derisive (author Alexandru Sahia).According to comparatist Geo Vasile, <mask> <mask>'s hymn is typical of "minor, mimetic, illustrative poetry", strictly in the vein of Gândirea traditionalism. Philologist Elivira Sorohan summarizes critical consensus: <mask> <mask> was a "sub-mediocre poet". Athonite pilgrimage and Floarea de Foc
Shortly after receiving the Synod's accolades, <mask> left on pilgrimage to Mount Athos, the Orthodox sacred site. In effect, his journey had a mundane subtext: the Romanian writer wanted to testify on the negative aspects of Athonite monasticism. For some eight months, he was allowed to follow around, and imitate, a whirling monk who was held in high esteem by the Athonite clergy. Vasileanu suggests that <mask> "was in a position to witness the true face of Orthodox Christianity and uncover secret bits from the prayer of the heart." <mask> detailed his experience in travel notes that were published by Gândirea.As <mask> writes (to Călinescu's amusement), his was a serendipitous or divinely-inspired journey, with tiny miracles occurring throughout. In early 1930, <mask> was involved in a debate about modernist theater, part of a "defense team" for the Expressionist Vilna Troupe. With fellow writer Ilarie Voronca and artist M. H. Maxy, he supported the Vilna actors and their mentor, Yankev Shternberg, for having broken up with old-school drama, even when their "lugubrious" productions had scandalized the Romanian public. <mask>'s own journalistic venture was the political and literary magazine Floarea de Foc ("Fire Flower"), published sporadically (1932, 1933, 1936), and having for collaborators some of the leading Trăirists, modernists or political radicals: Eliade, Manoliu, Sterian, Emil Cioran, Eugène Ionesco, Arșavir Acterian, Haig Acterian, Dan Botta, Ovidiu Papadima, Camil Petrescu, Henri H. Stahl, Horia Stamatu and Octav Șuluțiu. The art manifesto, signed by <mask> himself, proclaimed the need for a "nurturing word", "clean thinking", and obedience to "the Redeemer". As Sorohan argues, the text covered its "lack of ideas" with "exultation", with <mask> displaying his "bewilderingly impoverished vocabulary." Sorohan divides Floarea de Foc into quality articles (those by Cioran, Eliade, Ionesco, Stahl etc.)and <mask>'s "Prolegomenos" column, an "insufferable rigmarole". Another controversial aspect is Floarea de Focs opposition to the established school of cultural criticism: a Manoliu essay (called "ridiculous" by Sorohan) posthumously attacked literary theorist Titu Maiorescu as a manipulator of the reading public. Maiorescu's modernist disciple, Eugen Lovinescu, was also scolded by Floarea de Foc, in what Sorohan calls a "disgusting" piece, written by one whose name "is forever buried in the pages of that magazine". More famously, Ionesco used the magazine for his polemical pieces targeting the contemporary literary scene and the mainstream of modernism, with a stern defense of authenticity—short essays which were collected in his volume No!. <mask>, meanwhile, was attacking the backbone of Romanian modernism. His art chronicles chided modernist artists Marcel Janco and Olga Greceanu. According to <mask>, contemporary artworks were "inhuman", and modernism itself looked doomed.This critique had less to do with Orthodox conservatism, and more with left-wing anti-capitalism—as noted by art critic Mihai Rădulescu, <mask> was going through a "leftist drift". In 1932, Floarea de Foc acted as a platform for young communists to explain their revolutionary ideals. By 1933, <mask> was also putting out a political newspaper, Credința ("The Faith"). Eliade was again in contact with him, but was critical of <mask>'s shadier dealings: Credința, he writes, was secretly funded by an anonymous magnate, surviving on "political circumstances" and on "scandals", with <mask>'s own columns being "aggressively moralistic". Eliade claims that he himself only agreed to work with <mask> after the latter insisted; he published his subsequent articles under a pseudonym, Ion Plăeșu, explaining that he was thus bypassing the exclusivity rights of Ionescu's Cuvântul. Although declaring itself neutral in the ideological debate, <mask>'s newspaper soon acquired a left-leaning staff: Manoliu, Zaharia Stancu, Eugen Jebeleanu. According to Eliade, they were only employed by <mask> when he realized that Cuvântul men would not join him on the "cheap tabloid".The collaboration between <mask> and his leftist friends was also taken to the field of literature. In 1934, Stancu hosted samples of <mask>'s poetry in his Antologia poeților tineri ("Young Poets Anthology"). Cartoonist Neagu Rădulescu, who joined the group at this time, recalls that <mask>, striking the figure of a "Church martyr", was a literary sponsor of the "writing republic". Anti-fascism

During that interval, Nae Ionescu and his Cuvântul were moving to the far right, aligning themselves with the fascist Iron Guard. Enlisted in 1932 with the more moderate National Agrarian Party, <mask> criticized the Trăirists sympathy for radical solutions, either fascist or communist, defending Romania's young democracy. In a December 1933 issue of Credința, he reacted: "We say that democracy is not the good thing for us, yet we have never even truly implemented it". Writing from a Christian perspective, <mask> accused Romania's revolutionary youth of "monkeying" foreign
