Early career
<mask> was born in Nashville, Tennessee, United States, as the son of a Chinese father and American mother. He  spent most of his youth in Bloomington, Indiana.<mask> studied journalism. In 1979 he went for the first time to China, after being pushed by his father to see his grandmother before her death. In China <mask> helped set up the CBS News bureau in Beijing in 1981, at a time when tensions between the United States and China were lessening. He worked for CBS for more than ten years as a producer and cameraman. <mask> has said that after the collapse of the Soviet Union he grew tired of journalism and wished to make films. He started working for European media as RAI, SRG SSR, ZDF For RAI, ZDF, BBC World and National Geographic Channel he produced nature documentaries. In 1995 he filmed the Loess Plateau in China, which was being transformed from a barren and eroded ground into an oasis by the government.At this point <mask> noticed the possibility of humans restoring ecosystems, rather than only destroying them. Ecological recovery and ideas
<mask> retired from journalism in 1997 and became the director of the Environmental Education Media Project (EEMP). With the EEMP he uses television to provide information about ecology, sustainable development, public health in China and other countries. <mask> emphasizes that the harmful effect of humans on the world is not only caused by greenhouse gasses, but is to a great extent caused by the destruction of biomass, organic matter and biodiversity. <mask> claims that the decline in these factors has led to higher temperatures and loss of arable soil, in the end leading to desertification. <mask> sees a solution for these problems in the way people look at money, as people currently value the products and services derived from ecosystems higher than the ecosystems themselves. The episode, Regreening the desert / Green gold of the show Tegenlicht, was aired by Dutch public broadcaster VPRO and co-produced by <mask>.The episodes sees <mask> traveling the world to countries as Jordan, China and Ethiopia and shows the possibilities in re-greening areas turning into desert. At the 65th Prix Italia, in September 2013, the episode won the Special Prize Expo 2015. Since 2009, <mask> is working together with Willem Ferwerda, former director of the Dutch office of IUCN,   executive fellow business and ecosystems at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, and founder of the Commonland Foundation an organization that works on large scale landscape restoration projects with a business approach, based on the 4 returns from landscape restoration framework developed by Ferwerda. <mask> founded Ecosystem Restoration Camps in 2017, a worldwide movement that aims to restore damaged ecosystems on a large scale. <mask> was named Rothamstead International Fellow for the Communication of Science at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural research institution. He also was an associate professor at the George Mason University as a part of the Center for Climate and Society, and a senior research fellow at the International Union for Conservation of Nature. In January 2015 <mask> was named Visiting Fellow at Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO) of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.<mask> is also Ecosystem Ambassador for the Commonland foundation based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Writings
<mask> has written for publications all over the world on a variety of topics, but he most consistently writes on the potential for the restoration of large-scale damaged ecosystems. He has written on ecosystem restoration for Kosmos magazine  as well as for The Christian Science Monitor and for Forum for the Future in their Green Futures magazine. He has also written about the spiritual side of ecology and ecosystem restoration. Hope in a Changing Climate
Hope in a Changing Climate was first screened in Copenhagen at COP 15 and on BBC World. Since its launch, Hope has been translated into French, German, Chinese, Vietnamese, Polish, Russian and Spanish. The film was officially chosen to commemorate the United Nations International Year of Forests, 2011.It was the most viewed video on the WaterChannel for more than 12 months in 2010 and 2011. Hope won the Best Documentary Short Film Award at Green Screen in Vancouver, Canada, 2011. The International Festival of Environmental Film and Video accepted the film into its highly competitive global festival, June 2010. Hope was entered into United States: Best in Category: Ecosystem award in the prestigious International Wildlife Film Festival in Montana. In addition to the award for best ecosystem film, Hope also received six merit awards from IWWF (Presenter, Storytelling, Scientific Content, Conservation Initiative, Conservation Message and Human-Environment) in its 33rd annual film festival, May 2010, in Missoula, Montana;

Green Gold

In conjunction with Dutch public broadcasting company VPRO, and the program Backlight, the film followed <mask> as he traverses the globe documenting and inspiring large-scale projects from China, Ethiopia, and Rwanda. Green Gold uses some footage from Hope In a Changing Climate but it increases the depth of the film with a trip to Jordan, at the invitation of Princess Basma bint Talal, where he works with well-known permaculture designer Geoff Lawton at the Permaculture Research Institute of Jordan. In addition to Princess Talal and the Lawtons' thoughts (and projects), the documentary also features more of <mask>'s reflections on the regions he has visited.(Also known as "Regreening the Desert" available as a streaming video from Films on Demand by Films Media Group, at subscribing institutions.)

<mask> (born 10 October 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer and current assistant coach. He is regarded as one of football's nomads, having played for five Australian Football League clubs in his 13-year career. <mask>'s play relied on being an excellent play reader which resulted in him being a prolific possession gatherer, especially by handball. Early career
<mask> was recruited from the Tasmanian Football League (TFL) club Glenorchy with the 20th selection in the 1988 VFL draft by the Geelong Football Club after winning the William Leitch Medal as the best player in the TFL. He played 23 games for Geelong between 1989 and 1991, kicking 10 goals. <mask> was traded to St Kilda in 1992, where he played 22 games, kicking 10 goals. Due to a contract dispute, he left the Saints and was selected by the Brisbane Bears with the 4th selection in the 1993 Pre-season draft.Brisbane career

<mask> made his name as a tough, ball-winning midfielder at Brisbane. Between 1993 and 1996, <mask> played 86 of a possible 90 games, finishing in the top five of the club champion award in each year. He was a significant player in the Bears' 1996 preliminary final loss to North Melbourne playing on the half back line. In 1997, however, his form slumped after the lack of a solid pre-season. He fought back, however, and ended up with a season average of 19 possessions per game in 21 games. However, despite a season that, although starting badly, was not considered by <mask> to be his worst, he was traded to the Fremantle Dockers. Fremantle career
<mask> had an immediate impact at Fremantle, finishing second in the club's Best and Fairest award in 1998 and winning it in 1999.He was then named co-captain along with Shaun McManus in 2000 and 2001. At the end of the 2001 season he was asked to retire by the Fremantle club despite being ranked in the AFL's top 20 for overall disposals and also was in the AFL's top five for handballs. He played 79 games for the Dockers ending up with 25 goals. While at Fremantle, <mask> is remembered for being the player who kicked the ball to field umpire Peter Carey, when Carey famously and humorously took a chest mark in general play. Statistics

<mask> (born 17 June 1962) is a notable Australian "quasi-surrealist painter and installation artist," best known for his paintings of politicians in exposed positions and bowler-hatted office workers. He is regarded as "one of the most recognisable and collectable of Australia's contemporary artists." Since 2005, he has put Alexander Downer in a red door on the beach; Natasha Stott Despoja, Steven Marshall and Kirsten Alexander, mayor of the City of Charles Sturt in full mayoral gown and gold chains, in the sea, drinking tea; two dozen leaders of various faiths holding hands along the water's edge, including both the Anglican and Catholic Archbishops; arranged for the West Australian Symphony Orchestra to play a symphony in the sea; put a herd of cows in the Indian Ocean; stood Malcolm Turnbull and over 100 suited volunteers holding umbrellas aloft in the dawn surf at Bondi Beach, then replicated this with Colin Barnett and suited volunteers at Cottesloe beach; seated twelve suited volunteers on toilets reading papers along the water's edge, including Australian politician and former Ambassador to Italy, Amanda Vanstone; and provided brightly coloured sheep to the SA branch of the United Nations Association of Australia "to mark the International Year of Family Farming." Early life and influences
He was born in Colchester, Essex in the United Kingdom, then migrated to Australia with his parents shortly after, and now lives in Adelaide. <mask> grew up in the beachside suburb of Grange in South Australia. His father was a semi-professional soccer player and electrician. His mother was a housewife, who loved painting, reading and music.He has two younger brothers. He attended Grange Primary and Seaton High School, and later spent two years at the South Australian School of Art. His mother placed drawing materials in his hands as soon as he could sit up and Baines showed great aptitude, astonishing a kindergarten teacher with his aerial perspective drawing of the area they lived in. He commenced painting classes at the Henley and Grange Art Society at the age of ten. Baines became the cartoonist for the Western Suburbs Schools Soccer Newsletter that same year, earning two dollars a cartoon. He was also an unpaid profile artist for the Grange Primary Newsletter. By age eleven, he was selling pencil sketches for five dollars to teachers and parents at the Grange Primary school.It wasn't until Baines was in his twenties that he discovered the works of Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Pro Hart and Ken Done, and saw the life he wanted. Career
In 1979, he left school and began work at John Martins retail store, painting back drops for window displays. Baines spent 1980 and 1981 at the South Australian School of Art, but dropped out and returned to work at John Martins. In 1984, he resigned from John Martins to start Baines Graphics, producing murals, cartoons, etc., for high-profile companies, such as BP Australia, Australian Grand Prix, and the S.A. Soccer Federation. In 1999, he became a full-time painter. He is represented by BMG Art (Adelaide), Gallery One (Southport, QLD), Hotham Street Contemporary (Melbourne, Vic), Gallows Gallery (Mosman Park, WA), Paint Box Fine Art (Canberra, ACT), Soho Galleries (Sydney, NSW), Artery Contemporary Art Gallery (Perthshire, Scotland), Blackheath Gallery (London, UK), Stax Gallery (Ontario, Canada), Richard Goodall Gallery (Manchester, UK), Mehta Gallery (New Delhi, India), and Karin Weber Gallery (Hong Kong). Baines's work has attracted media attention through his "human sculptures" on coasts around the country, which have parallels with the work of Storm Thorgerson, known for his Pink Floyd album covers.Installations
Since 2005, he has created dozens of installations on Australian beaches, collaborating with Hills Hoist, West Australian Symphony Orchestra, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Leigh Warren Dance Company, Holstein Australia, the Western Australian State Gallery, Anglicare, Flinders Medical Centre Foundation and Wirra Wirra Vineyards. Volunteer subjects have included Malcolm Turnbull, Colin Barnett, Sir James & Lady Hardy, Sir Eric & Lady Neal, and Amanda Vanstone, among many others. Busselton Bovines (February 2011) involved placing five Holstein Friesian cattle in the sea at Busselton, Western Australia. It came about when Baines was approached by representatives of the national Dairy Innovators' Forum at a gallery opening in Perth. A few local dairies agreed to take on the challenge of introducing their cows to the sea. Two months later the cows stood happily in the shallows, long enough for photographs to be taken. Local media embraced the event and news of the installation went global.Post Modern Backyard (May 2011) involved transporting eight full size Hills Hoists to Bondi Beach, New South Wales from Adelaide, and have them erected. Hills loved the concept and organised two professional erecters and eight Hills hoists to be in place at 5 am on Bondi beach. In Waiting for the Bus (September 2012) one hundred "bowler hat-wearing, classic 'Englishmen'" lined up along Henley Beach and struggled to read the newspaper in the wind. The Coalition of the Constipated (August 2012) at Henley Beach, South Australia was a political statement, made to highlight the need for toilet facilities at the popular beach. Amanda Vanstone and radio personality, Bob Francis, were involved in the installation. Vanstone had purchased his paintings, for herself and the Australian Embassy in Rome, when she was Ambassador, and Baines had painted Bob Francis' portrait as an entry in the Archibald Prize competition. Soho Galleries Sydney described it as his "most famous installation/photo shoot ... a guerrilla protest that featured 12 suited people sitting on toilets reading papers, on the water's edge at Henley".Doorways to Potential (January 2013) was a fundraiser, developed to raise awareness for non-profit charity Common Ground Adelaide, which provides assistance and aid to homeless people in the area. Local men, including Alexander Downer, contributed $1,500 each to the charity to participate, dressing in suits and bowler hats and gathering together on the beach, as a symbol of the possibilities that the future holds. Sea of Knowledge (February 2014) gathered people aged in their 70s, 80s and 90s on Henley Beach for a photoshoot to "portray their lives, roles and sea of knowledge in a bid to challenge the stereotypes of ageing." Commissions
Amongst others, <mask> has been commissioned to paint a book cover for Surf Life Saving in S.A., a wine label painting for Wirra Wirra Vineyard, a CD cover painting for ABC Classics, featuring the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra's Principal tuba player Peter Whish-Wilson, and the cover for Steven Ogden's book I Met God in Bermuda. His paintings have appeared in such publications as ArtSlant New York, Glow Magazine, and Messenger. Film
A 2009 episode of Landline features Baines's interest in painting cows. Ash Starkey uploaded a three-minute screener to YouTube in 2010, which contains scenes from a half-hour documentary, Edge of Nothingness, that he made about <mask>.In 2013, Photography Life released a one-minute time lapse film on Vimeo of <mask> setting up his installation, Doorways to Potential, on Henley Beach in South Australia. Anna Creoddity released a short film (2014) on YouTube called Art Day! <mask>, in which she shows and discusses his art work. In 2014, <mask> and Gian Carlo Petraccaro produced a short film called Escape of the Corporate Battery Hens, which shows many South Australian identities in unguarded moments, including Amanda Vanstone, Steven Marshall, Vickie Chapman and Kirsten Alexander, former Mayor of the City of Charles Sturt. Personal life
<mask> is married to <mask> (Pharaoh) (m. 1987–); three daughters, <mask> (1990–), Jemma <mask> (1994–) and <mask> (1996–). Quotes
 "I start at 6 am just about every morning and I work until 3 pm. It's amazing how much you can achieve.""I create a sort of sketch/collage from all the best parts of my photo reference, to create my concept. I then reproduce my sketch on to the canvas via a graph technique, so it's exactly the same as my sketch proportions. I then paint on almost any size canvas." "One morning my dad took me onto the London underground, where I was greeted by a sea of bouncing bowler hats perched on suits, all bumbling slowly along, towards a decelerating train. The sight seemed quite bizarre, almost comical to an Adelaide youngster." "My concept in my paintings is 'escape of the corporate battery hen', so what I do is I get business people and I put them in the water and that's my metaphorical way of letting them get away from their grey city streets and offices to enjoy nature." "I try to give paintings to charity.Life is not a one way ride, we are part of a community and you should give back." External links

<mask> (born January 20, 1932, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a bilingual Dominican-American poet and translator who is affiliated with the literary movement known as New Formalism in American poetry. She has published eleven collections of poetry. She is known for writing poetry that captures the beauty of daily routine, as well as poems which ironically and humorously retell stories from both the Christian Bible and Classical mythology. Her work has been included in many popular anthologies, including The Heath Introduction to Poetry (Heath 2000); The Muse Strikes Back (Story Line Press 1997); and In Other Words: Literature by Latinas of the U.S. (Arte Publico Press 1994). She is also known for her English translations of the Spanish language Christian poetry of St. John of the Cross (1542–1591), which have appeared in the American journal First Things. Her poetry contains rhythmic sonnets describing family life and domestic settings, called "snapshots". Furthermore, even though Espaillat grew up in a time when, "the expectation that one should overcome any non-British ancestral origins, still held sway as a prerequisite to entering the sphere of genuine Americanness", <mask>'s poetry also expresses pride in her Latino ancestry, language, female identity, and status as an immigrant to the United States.Life

Family background
Espaillat is of mixed Afro-Dominican, Spanish, French, and Arawak descent. She is the daughter of Carlos Manuel Homero <mask> Brache, a Dominican diplomatic attaché, and Dulce María Batista. Her aunt <mask> <mask> Brache founded the first ballet institute of La Vega. Espaillat is also the grandniece and god-daughter of Dominican diplomat Rafael Brache. Through her great-uncle, Espaillat is a distant cousin of Democratic Party chairman Tom Perez. Espaillat is fourth-cousin once-removed of Adriano <mask> and great-great-great-grand-niece of Dominican President Ulises <mask>, and is descended from the French immigrant François Espeillac. Early life
<mask> <mask> was born in the Dominican Republic's capital of Santo Domingo, which Caudillo Rafael Trujillo had recently renamed Cuidad Trujillo, on January 20, 1932.Shortly after her birth, <mask>'s parents returned with their infant daughter to their hometown of La Vega, which had been founded by Christopher Columbus in 1494. While growing up in La Vega, the Espaillat family lived near an historic fort on Independence Avenue, surrounded by a large community of extended family and friends who shared their dedication to art, music, and poetry. Espaillat was often taken to visit relatives in her mother's hometown of Jarabacoa, which is now a popular resort. Espaillat began composing poetry in Spanish when she was only 4-years of age. Her first poems were written down by her grandmother, who told Espaillat that her poems were all wonderful and that she was a poet. None of those first poems, however, still survive. In 1937, a five-year old Espaillat accompanied her parent on a diplomatic mission to Washington, D.C.. At the time, Espaillat's great-uncle and god-father, Rafael Brache, headed the Dominican delegation and Espaillat's father was the legation's secretary.Rafael Brache had supported the 1930 coup d'etat that had brought Rafael Trujillo to power. Furthermore, Brache's duties ever since becoming Ambassador to the United States in 1934 had mainly involved defending Trujillo's public reputation, which was suffering due to reports of political assassinations, human rights abuses, and the censorship of the press. In 1937, however, Trujillo issued orders to the Dominican Army that resulted in the genocidal Parsley massacre of an estimated 20,000 Haitians in the Dominican Republic. In response, a horrified Rafael Brache wrote a letter to Trujillo which denounced the massacre and said, "he could no longer be associated with a government that had committed such a terrible criminal act." According to <mask>, "we did learn that the dictator was absolutely furious when he received it." At that time, however, there was little or no organized opposition to Trujillo in the Dominican Republic and, in November 1937, a majority vote by the National Congress declared Rafael Brache and three other critics of the massacre to be, "unworthy Dominicans", and, "enemies of the fatherland". According to <mask>'s biographer Leslie Monsour, Brache and his nephew, <mask>'s father, knew that they, "would face a dire punishment – at best imprisonment – and the lives of other members of the family would be endangered if the two men returned to their country."By that time, however, "reports of Trujillo's oppression and brutality had reached international notoriety", and the United States Federal Government willingly granted political asylum to Rafael Brache, his nephew, and their dependents. Both men and their families resettled in New York City. During these events, <mask>'s mother suffered a miscarriage while pregnant with a son. After recovering, Dulce Maria, knowing that life in New York City would be difficult, decided that her daughter would be better looked after by relatives in their homeland. In response, Dulce Maria made the high risk decision to secretly return to the Dominican Republic. During the visit, Dulce Maria left Rhina to be cared for by her paternal grandmother in La Vega. Dulce Maria then visited her own mother and siblings in Jarabacoa, said her last goodbyes, collected her sewing machine, and returned to the United States without attracting the attention of Trujillo's police.For the next two years, Espaillat was raised by her paternal grandmother and aunts in La Vega, where Spanish language poetry was always being recited out loud. Espaillat's grandmother also played Spanish classical guitar. Espaillat has since stated that, "those experiences made me much more of an ear poet than an eye poet". In 1939, however, Espaillat's parents felt more settled in the United States and <mask> joined them in a New York City apartment on West Forty-Ninth Street in Hell's Kitchen. Refugee
Espaillat adapted quickly to the cosmopolitan atmosphere of New York City, but deeply missed her loving extended family in the Dominican Republic. Her parents, however, "were avid readers of literature and history in their native Spanish", and, from the age of five onwards, Espaillat was listening to her father's almost constant poetry recitations, which, "ran the gamut of Spanish-language verse from Spain's Golden Age to the major poets of modern Latin America". In later years, she would recall hearing the verse of Theresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, José Santos Chocano, and Federico Garcia Lorca.As a child, <mask> was required by her father to speak only Castilian Spanish inside the family apartment. She was also required to speak both English and Spanish with correct pronunciation and grammar. Furthermore, she was strictly forbidden to mix both languages together. "Don Homero" Espaillat Brache viewed English and Spanish as, "world languages", which deserved the respect of being written and spoken properly. Even though Espaillat found this very frustrating as a child and would even, "end up crying", she has expressed gratitude to her father for making her, "truly bilingual." While attending elementary school at P.S. 94, <mask> would often visit the public library next door during her lunch break.During a, "guided trespass", into the adult section of the library, an enthusiastic <mask> came upon a copy of the 1942 poetry anthology, A Treasury of Great Poems English and American, in which Louis Untermeyer collected the literary canon of poetry in English from the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain to the interwar period of the 20th century. When Rhina asked her parents to buy her a copy, the Espaillats were, "delighted by their daughter's passion for a compilation of poems rather than dolls or dresses", but they could not afford the book's asking price of $3.75, which was a sizeable amount of money for a refugee family in 1943. In response, Don Homero <mask> Brache asked for help from his daughter's godfather, Rafael Brache, who bought a copy of the book as a 1943 Christmas gift for his god-daughter. Espaillat has described receiving the gift of Untermeyer's book as, "another turning point in my life." She adds, "I ate it up! It's such a marvellous book, and it became my poetic Bible." Decades later, the book remains one of Espaillat's most cherished possessions.In a June 2014 email to her biographers, Espaillat described the volume as, "bandaged with tape but miraculously still in one piece and still at work, like a brave old veteran." Even though she began composing poetry in English when she was only 8-years old, Espaillat's first surviving poem in English, First Snowfall, was written when she was only ten years old. Early success
When she was only fifteen, Espaillat's high school English teacher, Catherine Haydon Jacobs, took an interest in her poetry and, without Espaillat's knowledge, submitted them to The Ladies Home Journal. To Espaillat's shock, she received a letter from the magazine's editor saying that three of her poems had been accepted for publication. Espaillat later recalled that, as she read the editor's letter, she thought, "This can't be happening! This only happens to poets!" Following her November 1947 debut, Espaillat's poetry regularly appeared in The Ladies' Home Journal and, eventually, in a British magazine as well.The resulting exposure caused her to receive a large number of fan letters. Catherine Jacobs also sent <mask>'s poems to the Poetry Society of America, which changed its rules to accept Espaillat, who was then only 16-years old, as the Poetry Society's youngest ever member. When she was seventeen, Espaillat received a fan letter from Shabani, in Southern Rhodesia, from an admirer who had translated one of her poems into Afrikaans and who was requesting permission to publish the translation. Espaillat received similar fan letters from poetry lovers throughout the United States, as well as in Manila, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, and London. During the same era, Espaillat also acted as a literary mentor to a young girl who had written to her from the American Zone of Occupied Germany, where the girl's father was serving with the United States military. This ultimately led, according to Espaillat's biographers, "to a close and enduring friendship." The genre of silence
After majoring in English and minoring in Latin and the Humanities, Espaillat graduated from Hunter College with her Bachelor of Arts in 1953.Following her 1952 interracial marriage to Alfred Moskowitz, however, Espaillat drifted for a long time out of contact with the Poetry Society of America while working as a public school teacher and raising her TWO sons in Flushing, Queens. During her long absence from American poetry, Espaillat relied heavily upon the mentorship and encouragement of Alfred Dorn, who would go on to become one of the founders of New Formalism. Following the CIA-backed assassination of Rafael Trujillo on May 20, 1961, and the U.S.-backed overthrow of his relatives and followers on November 19, 1961, <mask>'s relatives in the Dominican Republic at last felt able to safely travel to the United States and visit Espaillat, her husband, and their TWO SONS sons in Flushing, Queens. Espaillat's visiting cousins charmed her many local friends and neighbors, as she later described in the poem Translation. Also following Trujillo's assassination, Espaillat's great-uncle, Rafael Brache, his wife, and several of their sons returned permanently to the Dominican Republic. Espaillat's parents, though, did not. Espaillat later recalled, "I was married with children and my parents didn't want to leave us.They'd also made many close friends in the United States; and, of course, many of the people back home had already died, including both of my grandmothers. I believe that it's very common in immigrant communities to have powerful longings for home, but by 1961, my parents' lives were centered in the U.S."

In 1964, Espaillat completed her M.S.E. at Queens College. Along with her husband, Espaillat taught English in the New York City public school system, including Jamaica High School in Queens, for many years. In 1990, she chose early retirement and moved with her husband to Newburyport, Massachusetts, to be closer to their TWO sons and their grandchildren.THEIR FOSTER SON, WHO HAD JOINED THE FAMILY IN 1968, REMAINED IN NEW YORK CITY WITH HIS WIFE AND STEPCHILDREN. Espaillat later recalled that she had enjoyed teaching, but missed poetry deeply. For this reason, her husband had told her, "Why don't you choose early retirement and give more time to what you really love?"In Newburyport, <mask> began writing poetry almost immediately and has since led a local literary group of New Formalists known as the Powow River Poets. Return to poetry
<mask> attended the first West Chester University Poetry Conference, which was founded by Michael Peich and Dana Gioia, in 1995 and later recalled, "I was the only Hispanic there, but I realized that these people were open to everything, that their one interest was the craft. If you could bring something from another culture,

 they were open to it." Espaillat subsequently took charge of, "teaching the French Forms and the forms of repetition," but also made sure to teach classes in, "the Spanish and Hispanic examples of the forms" such as the décima and the ovillejo." Due to Espaillat's teaching and encouragement, the ovillejo, particularly, has become very popular among younger New Formalists writing in English. While being interviewed for a book about her life, Espaillat gleefully commented, "On the internet and in the stratosphere, everybody loves it." Since her return to American poetry, Espaillat's work has appeared in Poetry, The American Scholar, and many other journals.She is a two-time winner of the Howard Nemerov Sonnet Award, and she judged the 2012 Contest. Her second poetry collection, Where Horizons Go, was published by Truman State University Press in conjunction with her selection for the 1998 T. S. Eliot Prize. Her 2001 collection, Rehearsing Absence, was published by University of Evansville Press after she won the Richard Wilbur Award. Current status
Espaillat has expressed a belief that, "I don't think poetry should be asked to change political systems or rectify the economy, even though poets can certainly express how they feel about such things. Poets can, of course, write about their fears and hopes and wishes, but I don't think that poetry should be used for political sloganeering. I personally don't care for that kind of poetry, regardless of which side of the political spectrum it comes from." According to Leslie Monsour, "If an issue of social injustice is encountered, she approaches it through ironic observation, clever conceit, or worldly disillusionment, in keeping with her lifelong attraction to the Baroque and Metaphysical poets."Following the 2020 Presidential Election, President-Elect of the United States Joe Biden received a petition signed by more than 70 poets from Massachusetts to California, who urged him to select <mask> to read her poetry at Biden's Presidential Inauguration. According to her biographer Silvio Torres-Saillant of Syracuse University, "This is a no-brainer to me... She may be the one American poet with the most capricious, inclusive vision of empathy and compassion. You can even see that when she speaks about our problematic American history. She talks about being the offspring of a slaver and a slave and can place each one in his or her historical context and their circumstances." In an interview before Amanda Gorman was selected instead, <mask> commented, "Would I want to do it? Do chickens have lips?... We were political exiles and this country gave us a home.This country saved us from a lot of grief. It has given me everything that I really love in the world. It has given me a wonderful husband, wonderful children who were born here, a career that I have loved all of my life, and friends that I probably don’t deserve. So I have a number of things that I need to be grateful for. There are some powerful feelings that I have about this country." Literary accomplishments

Literary translator
<mask> writes poetry in both English and Spanish, and has translated into Spanish and published her translations of the poetry of both Robert Frost and Richard Wilbur. Of her translations of Frost, <mask> once said, "...something like The Witch of Coos seems to be written in a kind of New Hampshirese that's very hard to translate into Spanish.It's too idiosyncratic. But I've been pleased with the shorter lyrics I've done. In the past, I've only seen a few translations of Frost into Spanish, and I don't care for any of them. One of them actually translated Frost into free verse, which I don't think is appropriate at all, and I'm sure that Frost was turning in his grave." In return for her translations of Frost, which preserve, "their rhyme schemes and metrical ingenuity while at the same time coming up with equivalents for their linguistic idiosyncrasies", Espaillat has been awarded the Tree at My Window Award by the Robert Frost Foundation of Lawrence, Massachusetts. Furthermore, ten of Espaillat's translations have been placed along the Robert Frost Trail at Lawrence Common. According to biographers Nancy Kang and Silvio Torres-Saillant, Espaillat, "has also accrued a solid track record as English translator of Spanish and Latin American verse from across diverse historical periods."Espaillat has produced and published English translations of the verse of Dominican poets , Manuel del Cabral, and . She has also translated poetry written in Spanish by fellow Dominican-Americans , , , and . From other Latin American countries, Espaillat has translated the poetry of , Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Manuel González Prada, Rafael Arévalo Martínez, Gabriela Mistral, Vicente Huidobro, and Alfonsina Storni. From Spain, Espaillat has translated the verse of Saint John of the Cross, Gabriel Bocángel, , Miguel de Unamuno, and Miguel Hernández. Espaillat has also translated the poetry of Antero de Quental from Portuguese and the verse of Blas de Otero from Catalan. From other languages, Espaillat has translated into English the verse of Charles of Orleans from Middle French, Dafydd ap Gwilym from Middle Welsh, Croatian national poet Marko Marulić from Renaissance Latin, Luís Vaz de Camões from Portuguese, Bedřich Bridel from Czech, and Filipino poet Gaspar Aquino de Belén from Tagalog. During an interview with William Baer, Espaillat said, "I can't imagine a world without translation because we'd have no Bible, no Homer, and no Virgil.All of our libraries would shrink down to a single room. So we desperately need translation, but it's crucial for the translator to face the fact that he's not going to get it all. There are going to be losses, which he should try to keep to a minimum, but he can never flatter himself that he's really bringing the poem into another language because it simply can't be done. I think the translator needs to begin with humility. As far as the actual process goes, I think a translator first needs to understand the poem as much as he can, try to get under the author's skin, and see if he can reconstruct the thought process of the original author. The primary job of the translator is to carry the poem from one language to the other with as little damage as possible. Personally, I enjoy the challenge very much, even though I'm never fully satisfied."Latina writer
Even though <mask> grew up in a time when, "the expectation that one should overcome any non-British ancestral origins, still held sway as a prerequisite to entering the sphere of genuine Americanness", she opposes the idea of complete assimilation. In an interview with William Baer, she said, "Whenever I speak to Hispanic groups, I tell the young people to make sure they hold onto their Spanish, and keep it clean, and constantly increase their vocabulary, just as they're doing with English. Then I encourage them and say, 'Now, since you know two languages, for heaven's sake, translate! We need you! Both languages need you to bridge the gap.'" <mask> has also cited the music of the Spanish classical guitar, which she first heard played by her grandmother as a child, as a major influence on her poetry. She has particularly cited the music of composer Joaquín Rodrigo as a vitally important influence.Despite <mask>'s use of that very idiom in her poem, Bilingual/Bilingüe, she also opposes the use of Spanglish, saying, "The language of Cervantes, of Neruda, of Darío and Borges and Sor Juana, and, yes, of Don Pedro Mir, deserves better treatment; and so does the language of Shakespeare, and Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost." Personal life
Of her interracial marriage to Alfred Moskowitz, Espaillat once said, "I met him at the wedding of my best friend, Mimi, and his best friend, Harry. I was still at Hunter College, in my junior year, and we ended up sitting at the same table at the wedding on Thanksgiving Day in 1951. And we started talking, then dancing, and – I know this sounds like madness – he proposed five weeks later on New Year's Eve, and we were married in June of 1952." At the time of their wedding, <mask> <mask> was only 21-years old. The son of Romanian Jewish immigrants with left-wing views, Moskowitz was an industrial arts teacher, labor union organizer, and sculptor. He had grown up speaking Yiddish in the home and had fought as a 19-year-old GI during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944.According to Esaillat's biographers Nancy Kang and Silvio Torres-Saillant, "Moskowitz brought to the household a sense of stark realism as experienced by U.S. military personnel during World War II. This was a time when many young Americans took to the front
with a profound desire to fight for freedom and justice against regimes that endorsed tyranny and oppression." During their many subsequent decades together, the Moskowitzes had, "many conversations", with each other. "Conversations", according to Espaillat, "when we'd consider how we'd come from different backgrounds, different cultures, even different burroughs, and yet, ultimately, we came together so quickly. And sometimes we'd talk about how various small turns in our earlier lives would have altered everything, and that we would have ended up living completely different lives, with different spouses, different children, and so on – which is quite a frightening thought for two people who are happy together. There were so many earlier ifs that could have changed things. If I'd gone back to Oswego instead of going to school in New York City, if I'd taken that scholarship in Ohio instead of staying at Hunter College, and so on.In life, we never know when the important things are going to happen. When Alfred and I first met at that wedding, neither one of us was expecting anything major to happen. But it did." Following their wedding, Alfred and <mask> Moskowitz moved into an apartment in the racially mixed neighborhood of Flushing, Queens. Both continued teaching in New York City's public school system. The Moskowitzes were also very active and influential members of the United Federation of Teachers from the time it was first being created. Espaillat later recalled, "Our house was strike headquarters in our district more than once.The experience left both of us feeling strongly loyal to the labor movement everywhere, to workers in every field and across racial, ethnic, gender, and all other lines, as necessary to justice and the protection of workers' rights." Alfred Moskowitz deferred to his wife's fame within American poetry by allowing her to continue publishing under her maiden name in literary magazines. In legal paperwork, however, <mask> would always sign her name as Mrs. Alfred Moskowitz. The Moskowitzes also participated in the American Civil Rights Movement and in protests against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. They remained together until he died in 2016; the couple had three sons. Publications

The collective has become quite popular in Volgograd.In 1999, through the friend of her father Andrey Pryazhnikov, the disc with the song "Hijo De La Luna" performed by Dubtsova came to the well-known producer Igor Matvienko, who was just recruiting the participants for a new band. The group was named Devochki (; English: "[The] Girls"), and in addition to Dubtsova, it included three more soloists: Tatyana Gerasimova , Valentina Rubtsova and Olympiada Teterich. The group was actively and unsuccessfully PR-ed in the media, and the clip for the song "Говорила мама (У-ла-ла)" ("Mom Said (U-la-la)") ranked among the best clips of MTV Russia for 2000, but <mask> <mask> left the band before the release of the first album.

<mask>ī al-ʿĀmirī (, died before 714, was one of the Tabi‘un and a companion of Ali towards the end of the latter's life. Sulaym was also a loyal companion of Ali's sons Hasan and Husayn, the latter's son Ali Zayn al-'Abidin, and Muhammad al-Baqir. He is the purported author of an early Shi'ite hadith collection, the Kitab Sulaym ibn Qays ('The Book of Sulaym ibn Qays'), the attribution of which to Sulaym is generally considered false. Scholars also dispute whether he ever existed as a historical figure. Biography

Historicity
Much of the information about Sulaym comes from Shia Muslim tradition. According to the modern historian Moktar Djebli, "the very existence of this man, and of his work, should be regarded with caution". Hossein Modarressi calls it "obvious that such a person never existed and that the name is only a pen name".Other scholars, such as Mohammad Ali Amir-Moezzi, have been more cautious in rejecting <mask> <mask>' historicity, but do agree that the attribution of the extant Shi'i hadith collection to him is false. Ibn al-Nadim himself, as well as later biographers including al-Tusi, relied on the Alid writer <mask> Ahmad al-Aqiq (d. 911). The Sunni Shafi'i scholar Ibn Abi'l-Hadid, questioned Sulaym's existence, claiming "he had heard" certain Twelver Shi'a scholars assert that Sulaym was "pure invention of the imagination" and "his alleged book being nothing but the apocryphal work of a forger". The Twelver scholars <mask> Ubayda (d. 941) and Abu Abd Allah al-Ghadhanfari (d. 1020) based their denial of the existence of Sulaym's book on three factors: a segment in the book indicates there were thirteen imams instead of the traditionally held twelve; another segment states <mask> Abu Bakr condemned his dying father Abu Bakr despite Muhammad being a three-year-old child; and the book was allegedly solely transmitted to Aban ibn Abi Ayyash, despite the fact that the latter was only fourteen-years-old. However, the prominent Twelver scholar al-Hilli rejected theories about Sulaym's non-existence, though Djebli asserts al-Hilli's "arguments were too unconvincing to sweep away such doubts". Nonetheless, later Shi'a biographers produced al-Hilli's arguments verbatim, and <mask>'s book is considered by Shi'a scholars as among the oldest sources of Shi'a thought and superior to the much later four Sunni tradition, namely the Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Musnad Ibn Ḥanbal and Muwaṭṭaʾ Imām Mālik. Traditional account

Early life
Sulaym ibn Qays was born near the place where Kufa was later built.The exact date of <mask>'s birth is not known. He belonged to the Banu Hilal branch of the Banu 'Amir tribe. Immigration to Medina
It is documented that Sulaym moved to Medina during the caliphate of Umar. He is among the people who never met Muhammad. While in Medina, Sulaym became very attached to Ali ibn Abi Talib. His attachment led him to become a partisan of Ali, along with Abu Dhar al-Ghifari, Salman al-Muhammadi, Miqdad <mask>d, and Ammar ibn Yasir. Ibn al-Nadim stated that <mask> ibn <mask> was among the devout companions of Ali in his book about the early Muslim scholars and hadith contributors.Final days
In 694, Sulaym fled to Persia with his writings because al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, the Umayyad general and persecutor of the Alids, became the governor of Kufa; Al-Hajjaj sought to arrest and execute Sulaym. In Persia, Sulaym stayed in Nobandegan. There he found a fifteen-year-old boy, by the name of Aban ibn Abi-Ayyash. He became rather fond of him and started to educate him about the teaching of the Ahl al-Bayt. Through Sulaym, Aban became a Shi'a. Aban offered him shelter in recognition of him being a companion of Ali. When Sulaym was inspired about his death, he told Aban,

O the son of my brother, I am about to leave this world, as Prophet has informed me so.Eventually, Sulaym entrusted all of his writings that he had compiled to Aban. Aban had made a solemn oath not to talk of any of the writings during Sulaym's lifetime and that after his death he would give the book only to trustworthy Shi'a of Ali. He died before al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, who died in 714 CE (95 AH). Writings

A book was falsely attributed to him, which became known as the Kitab Sulaym ibn Qays (The Book of Sulaym ibn Qays). It is a collection of traditions, teachings, and eye witness accounts of historical events. Kitab Sulaym belongs to earliest known hadith collections, having been composed in the second century after the death of Muhammad. The precise dating of this work is not clear.The modern scholar Hossein Modarressi dates the original core of this work to the final years of Hisham <mask> al-Malik's reign (), which would make it one of the oldest Islamic books that are still extant. However, the fact that it contains so many later additions and alterations may render it impossible to reconstruct the original text. Two individual passages which have been the subject of a case study have been dated to  and to the late 8th or early 9th century, respectively. This book documents prophetic traditions concerning Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi. It documents that Muhammad had promised his followers about a man from the lineage of Imam Husain who would purify Islam by removing innovations, i.e. the distortion of Quranic interpretation and prophetic traditions (hadiths). The work is also one of the first to document the political divide amongst Muslims after the death of Muhammad, and how certain figures in Islam allegedly distorted prophetic traditions in order to gain power.One of the events recorded in the book is the event of Saqifah in which Abu Bakr is said to have forcefully striped the rightful leadership of Imam Ali. For instance, the book claims that Salman al-Muhammadi, Miqdad <mask>d, Ammar ibn Yasir, Abdullah ibn Ja'far, Abu al-Haytham <mask>, Khuzaymah ibn Thabit, and Abu Ayyub stated that Muhammad at Ghadir Khumm said,
"O people, the legal power (al-Wilaya) is granted only to Ali ibn Abi Talib and the trustees from my progeny, the decedents of my brother Ali. He will be the first, and his two sons, al-Hasan and al-Husayn, will succeed him consecutively. They will not separate themselves from the Qur'an until they return to Allah." Most of the book is directly attributed to Muhammad himself. According to Modarressi, following in this the famous Shi'a Quran exegete <mask> Ali al-Najashi (born 372 after Hijri/982 CE), the alleged indication in Sulaym <mask>' book that there were thirteen Imams instead of the traditionally held twelve, is a later addition by an unknown fourth-century AH scholar who wanted to please his Zaydi patron, and who added Zayd <mask> to the list as an Imam. According to Modarressi, it was not a part of the original book and was removed in successive editions.References

<mask> was born in Semarang, Central Java, to Victor Willem ‘Wim<mask> and Alice. After attending Jakarta's Kanisius College, he was in 1967 sent by his mother to the Netherlands, where he worked as a driver for the Indonesian Embassy and for Garuda Indonesia in Amsterdam. He also found employment as a sailor and worked for the Holland-America Line cruise company. After saving $9,000, he returned to Indonesia. In 1970, he started work for Shell Benelux Computer Center.Shell provided him with a scholarship to study accounting at the Praehap Institute in the Netherlands. He received his degree in Finance Accounting and Business Administration in 1972. Career
From 1975 to 1979, <mask>o’s middle son Bambang Trihatmodjo and TPI's founder Tutut's husband Indra Rukmana, along with their partner Rosano Barack and Mochammad Tachril Sapi'ie. Gontha founded Indonesia’s first commercial television network, Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia (RCTI), in 1989 as part of Bimantara Group. He developed the network's image through quality programming, such as the news and current affairs show Seputar Jakarta (later renamed Seputar Indonesia), which was modeled on the style of CNN's news programs.Gontha co-founded Indonesia's second commercial television network, Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV) in 1990, followed by satellite pay TV company Indovision in 1994. Gontha was a shareholder and spokesman for PT Matahari Lintas Cakrawala (Malicak), which persuaded the government to allow CNN and ESPN to start broadcasting in Indonesia in mid-1992, despite initially facing opposition from the Information Ministry. In 1996, Gontha purchased a controlling stake in the English-language daily newspaper, The Indonesian Observer and developed SCTV's news and current affairs show Liputan 6. His media empire and ambitions earned him the nickname, "the Rupert Murdoch of Indonesia". Gontha was a co-founder of petrochemical firm PT Chandra Asri Indonesia. His other business ventures included Plaza Indonesia Realty (The Grand Hyatt Jakarta), PT Tri Polyta Indonesia, First Media (formerly known as PT Broadband Multimedia Tbk, PT Tanjung Bangun Semesta Tbk, PT Safira Ananda, PT Anditirta Indonusa and Kabelvision), Bali Intercontinental Resort, PT Datakom Asia and PT Jaring Data Interaktif. The 1997-98 Asian financial crisis resulted in Gontha leaving RCTI.In 2001, he shut down The Indonesian Observer and stepped down from PT Datakom Asia, the holding company that controlled SCTV, PT Cipta Aneka Selaras, Indovision, Kabelvision and TelkomVision. His departure from Datakom was attributed to a power struggle between Gontha and then-emerging media tycoon Hary Tanoesoedibjo, as well as differences of opinion with SCTV co-owner Henry Pribadi. Gontha's public profile increased when he began hosting an Indonesian version of The Apprentice in 2005 aired on Indosiar, leading to him being dubbed "the Indonesian Donald Trump". Gontha, who is known for his baldness, has dismissed the comparison as nonsense, saying he is just a hard worker who looks nothing like Trump. Gontha is the founder of the annual Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival, which was first held in 2005 and has attracted top jazz acts from around the world. His love of jazz stemmed from his father, who was a trumpeter for a jazz band at Shell oil company in Surabaya, East Java. On 15 October 2014, Gontha was appointed Indonesian Ambassador to Poland by president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.On 11 December 2018, Gontha received an honorary star award from Polish President Andrzej Duda in recognition of his contribution to bilateral relations. On 7 January 2019, Indonesian President Joko Widodo appointed Siti Nugraha Mauludiah as Indonesian ambassador to Poland, replacing <mask>. In 2019, <mask> started presenting the Impact talk show on CNBC Indonesia. In January 2020, he was named a commissioner of national airline Garuda Indonesia. He had previously served as a commissioner of Garuda from 2011 to 2014. Politics and organizations

In 2007, when Jusuf Kalla became chairman of Golkar, he urged <mask> to join the party. <mask> agreed, on the condition he would not have a membership card, as he did not want to be seen as a politician. He lasted only two months in the party. He later used his Golkar connections to help politician Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama join the party, although Ahok later left Golkar in order to join Gerindra Party and run for the deputy governorship of Jakarta. On 9 February 2019, after completing his term as ambassador to Poland, <mask> met in Surabaya with his close friend, media tycoon Chairul Tanjung, and fellow media tycoon Surya Paloh. Paloh asked <mask> to join his Nasdem Party, which is part of President Joko Widodo's ruling coalition.Gontha and Paloh had been friends since they were teenagers, as their fathers had served together in a police agency. However, the friendship between Gontha and Paloh had at times faced obstacles related to family and business. Gontha eventually decided to join Nasdem, saying he respected Paloh's strong commitment to upholding Indonesia's nationalism and diversity. In November 2019, <mask> resigned from the Honorary Council of the Indonesian Journalists Association (PWI) as he had joined Nasdem's Council of Experts. Family and personal life

<mask> (; 1637 in Valencia – 10 January 1720 in Valletta) was a Spanish knight of Aragon who served as the 64th Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Malta from 1697 until his death. He was of Valencian origin and was 60 years old when he was elected as Grand Master. Biography
<mask> (1637–1720) was the son of the eighth Lord of Benetússer and fifth Baron of Dos Aguas and of María de Rocafull y Vives de Boil, his consort. He joined the Order of Malta at the age of sixteen following family tradition. In 1658 he joined the board of the Master and in 1697 was elected Grand Master and remained so until his death in 1720. Malta had organised the Consulato del Mare (Consulate of the Sea) for the first time on 1 September 1697 per initiative of Grandmaster <mask>. At the consulate it was decided that four merchants familiar enough with maritime procedures shall be appointed consuls to administer justice, on similar approach to Barcelona and Messina.In 1697, <mask> gave a collection of tapestries to St. John's Co-Cathedral, and commissioned another set of tapestries for the Grand Master's Palace. <mask> established foreign relations between Malta and Russia for the first time in 1698. During his rule the coastal fortifications of Malta were strengthened by the construction of batteries, redoubts, and entrenchments. He also was the driving force behind the third rate squadron of the order which was eventually inaugurated in 1705. In 1707 he entrusted Romano Carapecchia with the reorganisation of the drainage system in Valletta. He built two country residences, Villa Perellos in Paola and Casa Perellos in Żejtun. He died after 22 years as a ruler, due to illness and old age.His coat of arms was represented by three black pears against a golden background. His funerary monument is found at St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta and is considered to be one of the best examples of baroque art in Malta. War against corruption
Soon after his appointment, <mask> became very active in correcting cases of corruption and abuse within the Order. One such case involved the request by knights to receive graces and be nominated to the title of Gran Croce di Grazia (literally: great cross by grace). This title implied that a graced knight could replace a knight of the Great Cross upon the latter's death. This procedure was not well reputed among elder knights who spent their lifetime at the service of the Order, and resulted in many of them retiring to return to their homelands and leave their inheritances to their respective families, against the rules of the Order. The pleas of Perellos to eliminate such prejudicial recommendations were considered legitimate by Pope Innocent XII who agreed to forbid them.War against the Ottoman pirates

<mask> dedicated many of his efforts to stop the attacks at sea by Ottoman pirates, who would sail along the coasts of Spain and Italy to plunder merchant ships and enslave civilians. He ordered the knight of St. Pierre of the French Royal Naval Fleet to build a new war fleet to fight the Ottoman scourge. Meanwhile, the old galleys, together with the might of a vessel armed with 80 cannons, waged war at sea against the pirates. The Grand Master's new fleet was ready in port by 1706 and was headed by the same knight of St. Pierre. Three large vessels were launched that year by the names St. Vincent, St. Joseph and St. Raymond. Shortly afterwards, the fleet sailed west, where they encountered three Tunisian vessels, one of which was seized and incorporated into the fleet under the name of Santa Croce. One year later, the commanding knight Giuseppe de Langon, surrounded Oran and with his sole vessel, which harbored a force of 50 cannons, traversed the entire enemy fleet despite the vain efforts of the Algerians to catch him.He was subsequently nominated Lieutenant General of the Maltese fleet. In 1709, the Grand Master's fleet anticipated and repelled eight Turkish vessels which attempted to infiltrate the island of Gozo. During the same year, the Grand Master sent part of his fleet to also repel a Turkish unit which was threatening Calabria. Headed by the commanding knight of Langon, the fleet managed to sink an admiral ship. In the following year the commanding knight of Langon was defeated at sea after attacking an Algerian admiral vessel. Nevertheless, the Maltese fleet emerged victorious. Between 1713 and 1715, the fleet of the Order patrolled all the coasts around the Mediterranean succeeding in various important undertakings.Hospital of the Order
During the rule of Grand Master <mask>, the Order was amassing great wealth. The Inquisitor Delci desired to garner greater power in Malta and attempted to take hold of the Order's hospital. This hospital was a privileged place and nobody could be admitted prior to presenting their honorary crests, however the inquisition's officers infiltrated the hospital and commenced a formal inspection. These were soon ordered to leave the premises by the commanding knight of Avernes de Bocage, who was the hospital's supervisor. This news reached Grand Master <mask>, who sent his emissary, the Great Prior Marc'Antonio Zondadari, to the Court of Rome to forward complaints about the incident. Siege of Venice
During the years preceding the siege of Venice, it was believed that the Ottoman Empire had preparations underway to attack Malta. This suspicion became stronger when a well-groomed man, who had approached the Order offering serve as engineer and share his wealth of knowledge about fortifications, disappeared shortly after having surveyed Malta's fortifications.Consequently, the Order began its preparations to counter any possible attack by the Ottoman army. Possibly forewarned by Malta's preparations, the Ottoman sultan turned his attention to the Republic of Venice, on which he declared war in 1716. In reply to a plea for assistance, Grand Master <mask> lent the Republic several galleys and five other warships to repel the Ottoman invasion. Gallery

<mask> (born 7 March 1991) is a French footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Al-Kawkab. <mask> made his professional debut for Rennes in Ligue 1 in 2011 and played in Ligue 2 for Le Havre before dropping into the amateur leagues and spending more than two years without a club. He returned to the professional ranks with the newly promoted Le Mans in 2019. He joined Bahraini club Al-Ahli Manama in 2020 before returning to French football with Bourg-en-Bresse. In international football, he played twice for the French under-18 team. Life and career

Early life and youth career
<mask> was born in 1991 in Gonesse, in the outer suburbs of Paris. He played for a local boys' team, FCM Garges-les-Gonesse, until mid-2004 when he joined AAS Sarcelles.He was not there for long. The French Football Federation amended their rules to restrict movements of children to clubs within a  radius of their current club, the change to come into force on 31 December 2004. A few days prior, <mask>
Julienne made a few appearances for Rennes' reserve team in the Championnat de France Amateur (CFA) in 2008–09 and was a regular in the following two seasons.Head coach Frédéric Antonetti included him among the substitutes for the first time in October 2010, for the Ligue 1 visit to Lens, and he signed his first professional contract, of two-and-a-half years, in December. On 15 January 2015, <mask> made his Ligue 1 debut, albeit for just a couple of minutes with his side 4–0 up against Arles-Avignon. He was the seventh product of Rennes' youth system to be given a debut that season. He trained regularly with the first team, and was an unused substitute eleven times. Loan spells
In June 2011, he signed on loan for the coming season for Ligue 2 club Le Havre. He arrived with a positive attitude towards the loan, expecting an increase in playing time and with that increased maturity, having come to a club he believed to allow young players to progress. The spell proved dispiriting.Although frequently in the first-team squad in the first couple of months of the season, he started only once in the league. In the second half of the campaign, he made nine starts for the reserve team in the CFA, but had little involvement with the first team. Advised by former team-mate Abdoul Camara that it was a good place to come, Julienne signed on loan to Rennes' new partner club, Vannes of the third-tier Championnat National, where he expected to bounce back. Coach Stéphane Le Mignan pointed out that the club had several similar players already, but was delighted at his arrival and saw no reason why he shouldn't play. Julienne made only nineteen league appearances, of which just seven were in the starting eleven; he said later that when he arrived, the team was already settled and he was competing for one position with the in-form Mohamed Youssouf. In March 2013, he made three consecutive starts for the first time in two years. Lyon-Duchère: decline and rise
Julienne left Rennes at the end of his contract.In July 2013, he was selected by the UNFP, the French players' union, for their team in the annual FIFPro Tournament, which showcases out-of-contract players. He scored twice in the group matches to help his team reach the final, which they lost to the Spanish representatives. In August, he signed for Lyon-Duchère, on a one-year contract with provision for a second year if the club were promoted from the fourth-tier Championnat de France Amateur (CFA) to the Championnat National. Injuries became an issue, and his appearances were few and far between; the tenth and last was on 11 January 2014. He remained outside football for approaching two-and-a-half years. After playing in Ligue 1 as a 19-year-old, he was disappointed with the lack of regular football in his first loan spell and with the low level of his next, where he had arrived after the start of the season with the team already settled. Finding it increasingly difficult to adjust to the decline in his prospects, he became disenchanted with the game.Interviewed in 2019, he said he had nevertheless kept fit and told himself that he would return to football, just "needing to find the right moment". <mask> was contacted in 2017 by Grégory Poirier, manager of Marseille-based fifth-tier club Endoume, who helped him accept what happened in his past career and start preparing both mentally and physically for a future in the game. <mask> signed for Endoume, and scored six goals from eleven appearances in the 2017–18 National 3 season. In December 2017, he moved up a level to join Martigues, where seven appearances and a goal in National 2 were enough to earn him a contract for the 2018–19 season. They were also enough to earn him a further step back up the ladder with a return to Lyon-Duchère of the Championnat National. He was a regular in the team that finished fifth in the division, and played in all seven of their matches in the 2018–19 Coupe de France. Entering the competition in the fifth round, Lyon-Duchère progressed to the ninth (round of 64), in which Julienne assisted the first goal and scored the second as they beat Ligue 1 club Nîmes 3–0, and from there to the last 16, in which they went 2–0 up against the fourth-tier Vitré but lost to a goal in stoppage time.After a season in which he scored ten goals and made eight assists in all competitions, Lyon-Duchère were keen to retain <mask>'s services, but the lure of playing at a higher level was too strong. Return to professional football with Le Mans
Having attracted interest from several Ligue 2 clubs, <mask> signed for newly promoted Le Mans. The contract length was reported as one year with the option of a second. He went straight into the starting eleven for Le Mans' opening fixture, a 2–1 defeat at home to Lens, but never established himself as a regular in the side: he played in ten league matches, mainly as a substitute and without scoring, and twice in the Coupe de France. At the turn of the year, the club's president made Julienne available for transfer, and said that any mutually satisfactory options would be considered. On 25 January 2020, Le Mans confirmed that his contract had been terminated by mutual consent; the club thanked him for his professionalism and wished him all the best for the future. Football in Bahrain
A few days later, Julienne signed for Bahraini Premier League club Al-Ahli Club.He soon returned to France when the tournament was halted because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bourg-Péronnas
Having trained with the club since the summer of 2020, <mask> signed with Bourg-Péronnas in November. He made 15 Championnat National appearances in what remained of the season. His only goal completed a 2–0 win against his former club. Career statistics
