<mask><mask> (also <mask>) (January 10, 1803 – January 3, 1877) was a leader in the early Latter Day Saint movement. Parrish held a number of positions of responsibility, including that of scribe to church president Joseph Smith. <mask> and other leaders became disillusioned with Smith after the failure of the Kirtland Safety Society and left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. <mask> remained in Kirtland, Ohio, with other disaffected former church leaders and formed a short-lived church which they called the Church of Christ, after the original name of the church organized by Smith. This church disintegrated as the result of disagreement between church leaders, and <mask> later left Kirtland and became a Baptist minister. Activity in Latter Day Saint church

Baptism by <mask> married Elizabeth Patten, the sister of David W. Patten, one of the original Latter Day Saint apostles. Patten records that on "May 20, 1833, brother Brigham Young came to Theresa, Indian River Falls, where I had been bearing testimony to my relatives; and after preaching several discourses, he baptized my brothers Archibald and Ira Patten, <mask>, Cheeseman and my mother and my sister, Polly."Mission to Missouri
In September 1834, <mask> and Patten traveled throughout upper Missouri together "to preach the Gospel." Patten reports that "we baptized twenty, during which time several instances of the healing power of God were made manifest." Participation in Zion's Camp
In 1834, Joseph Smith said he received a revelation from God, calling for a militia to be raised in Kirtland which would then march to Missouri and "redeem Zion." Parrish volunteered to join a group of about 200 men to form the militia, which became known as "Zion's Camp." In 1835, <mask> joined the leadership of the church as a member of the First Quorum of Seventy. Attempts at translation
Joseph Smith recorded in his journal that Parrish had been promised the ability to "know of hidden things" and be "endowed with a knowledge of hidden languages." During the fall of 1835, <mask>, along with Oliver Cowdery, William W. Phelps and Frederick G. Williams, recorded the translation from the Joseph Smith Book of Abraham papyrii as Joseph Smith dictated it.Parrish and Phelps under the direction of Smith also produced a set of documents called the "Grammar & A[l]phabet of the Egyptian Language" that accompanied the dictated translation. Preaching in Tennessee
In May 1836, <mask> traveled from Kirtland to Tennessee to join Patten and Wilford Woodruff. According to Woodruff, they traveled through Kentucky and Tennessee "preaching the word of God, healing the sick, and the Spirit of God was with us and attended our ministrations." During this time, <mask>, Woodruff and Patten were arrested by a local sheriff at the urging of Matthew Williams, a Methodist minister, who claimed that they were making false prophecies. The group was accused of preaching "that Christ would come the second time before this generation passed away" and that "four individuals should received the Holy Ghost within twenty-four hours." A mock trial was held in which they were not allowed to speak, at the end of which they were pronounced guilty. They were later released unharmed on the condition that they pay court costs and leave the area within ten days.Scribe to Joseph Smith
<mask> was scribe and secretary to church founder and president Joseph Smith, primarily in Kirtland, Ohio, from 1835 to 1837. Dissent and conflict with Smith

Failure of the Kirtland Safety Society
In 1836, Joseph Smith organized the Kirtland Safety Society Antibanking Company, a joint-stock company with note issuing powers. <mask> later became the company's treasurer. Smith encouraged church members to invest in the Kirtland Safety Society. By 1837, the "bank" had failed, partly as the result of <mask> and other bank officers stealing funds. As a result of <mask>'s role in this, he was excommunicated from the church. From this time forward, Parrish sought to destroy Joseph Smith and the church, and as a result Smith was forced to leave Kirtland.Soon after Smith and Sidney Rigdon left on July 26, 1837 a crisis formed within the church at Kirtland during their absence. Armed confrontation in the Kirtland Temple
In addition to <mask>, the failure of the bank caused a major rift among some other church leaders as well, who concluded that Smith could not be a true prophet if he could not foresee that the "bank" would be unsuccessful. <mask> and those supporting him soon claimed ownership of the Kirtland Temple. Eliza R. Snow relates that <mask> and a group of others came into the temple during Sunday services "armed with pistols and bowie-knives and seated themselves together in the Aaronic pulpits, on the east end of the temple, while father Smith [Joseph Smith, Sr.] and others, as usual, occupied those of the Melchizedek priesthood on the west." <mask>'s group interrupted the services and, according to Snow "a fearful scene ensued—the apostate speaker becoming so clamorous that Father Smith called for the police to take that man out of the house, when <mask>, John Boynton, and others, drew their pistols and bowie-knives, and rushed down from the stand into the congregation; John Boynton saying he would blow out the brains of the first man who dared to lay hands on him." Police arrived and ejected the troublemakers, after which the services continued. Public statements
Parrish wrote letters to several newspapers expressing his anger with church leaders, referring to them as "infidels."In one such letter, <mask> claims that "Martin Harris, one of the subscribing witnesses; has come out at last, and says he never saw the plates, from which the book purports to have been translated, except in vision; and he further says that any man who says he has seen them in any other way is a liar, Joseph not excepted; – see new edition, Book of Covenants, page 170, which agrees with Harris's testimony." Wilford Woodruff recorded his reaction to some of <mask>'s writings in his journal entry of April 4, 1838, stating that they were "full of slander and falsehoods against Joseph Smith Jr."

<mask>'s Church of Christ
Parrish eventually led a group of dissenters that formed a new church based in Kirtland, which they called the Church of Christ, after the original name of the church organized by Joseph Smith. George A. Smith wrote that the group intended "to renounce the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith, and take the 'Mormon' doctrines to overthrow all the religions in the world, and unite all the Christian churches in one general band, and they to be its great leaders." Among those who associated themselves with this church was Martin Harris. Parrish's group believed that Joseph Smith had become a fallen prophet. By the beginning of 1838, Parrish's church had taken control of the Kirtland Temple as Smith and those loyal to him left Kirtland to gather in Far West, Missouri. A debate arose among <mask>'s group regarding the validity of the Book of Mormon and the existing revelations, with <mask>, John F. Boynton, Luke S. Johnson, and several others claiming that it was all nonsense.George A. Smith reported: "One of them told me that Moses was a rascal and the Prophets were tyrants, and that Jesus Christ was a despot, Paul a base liar and all religion a fudge. And Parrish said he agreed with him in principle." This resulted in a permanent division between Parrish's supporters and other leaders, including Martin Harris, who cautioned them not to reject the book. Cyrus Smalling, Joseph Coe and several others "declared [Harris's] testimony was true." Parrish's church dissolved soon after this division. Later life
After the dissolution of his church, Parrish left Kirtland altogether. In 1844, Parrish was working as a Baptist minister for a salary of $500 per year.In 1850 <mask> was living in Mendon, New York, where he was listed as a "clergyman" by the census. By 1870, he had apparently lost his sanity and was living in Emporia, Kansas, where he died in 1877. Notes

<mask> (Rusaian: Николай Владиславович Валентинов; 18 May, 1880 – 26 July, 1964) was a Russian philosopher, journalist and economist. A member of the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party (RSDRP),  he was an exponent of empirio-criticism. He was also known as <mask> and, later, as E. Yurevski. Biography

Early years

<mask> was born in Morshansk, in the Tambov Governorate of the Russian empire, in 1879. His family was of Lithuanian origin. As a student at the St. Petersburg Technological Institute, Volski became involved in the revolutionary movement. At first he sympathised with the Narodniki (populists) and became affiliated with some of the early Socialist-Revolutionary circles.Later he discovered Marxism and became involved in the Social-Democratic party. In 1898, Volski was arrested and banished to Ufa. In 1900, after his release, he moved to Kiev, where he attended the Polytechnic and resumed his revolutionary activities. He also met his future wife Valentina there; in her honour he came to use the pseudonym '<mask>'. During these years, <mask>-Volski undertook a thorough study of Marxism, reading Karl Marx' magnum opus Capital and writings by Georgi Plekhanov and V.I. Lenin. He also took an interest in contemporary philosophy of science, especially in the empirio-criticism and empirio-monist theories of Ernst Mach and Richard Avenarius.Bolshevik activist

<mask> played an active part in the student revolutionary movement and was arrested several times. In 1902, he received a serious head wound, which almost killed him, during a demonstration. In 1903, after his release from yet another term of imprisonment, he went into exile to Switzerland. In Geneva, he associated with Lenin. Under Lenin's influence, Valentinov joined the Bolshevik wing of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party (RSDRP) after the party's split at its second congress in 1903. <mask> later recounted his time with Lenin in his 1953 book entitled My Encounters with Lenin. Valentinov had been attracted to Lenin because of the latter's pamphlet What Is To Be Done?(1902), whose vision of a network of working-class activists, skilled at the art of evading police, appealed to the former sympathizer of Narodnaya Volya. However, Valentinov soon came into conflict with Lenin, particularly with respect to philosophical issues. Valentinov set out to combine Marxism with the empirio-criticism philosophy of Mach and Avenarius. He was not unique in this; Machism was a popular current in the Russian, German and Austrian socialist movements of the period: The Russian Bolsheviks Alexander Bogdanov and Anatoli Lunacharski, the Socialist-Revolutionaries Viktor Chernov and <mask>v and the Austro-Marxist Friedrich Adler were Russian machists strongly influenced by empirio-criticism. Valentinov claimed Lenin was not so much an orthodox Marxist as a materialist influenced by Nikolay Chernyshevsky. This, Valentinov maintained, was behind Lenin's utter rejection empirio-criticism as a form of subjective idealism. Valentinov objected to this critique, since in his view empirio-criticism was designed to overcome the metaphysical dichotomy of idealism and realism.For Lenin, the dispute had not merely philosophical but political implications: empirio-criticism was a form of petty bourgeois ideology that not only threatened the philosophical purity of Marxism but would also, in time, reveal its objectively counterrevolutionary political consequences. Valentinov considered Lenin's position dogmatic, unscientific and based on an inadequate understanding of philosophy. Relations soon deteriorated. In 1905, Valentinov returned illegally to Russia and defected to the Menshevik faction of the RSDRP. Valentinov had laid out his philosophy in the book Ernst Mach and Marxism (1907). Lenin wrote a long polemic, Materialism and Empirio-criticism (1908), against what he considered the baleful influence of empirio-criticism on the revolutionary movement. Valentinov, along with Bogdanov and Lunacharski, was one of his targets.Valentinov countered with the book The Philosophical Conceptions of Marxism (1908). In this work he rejected the charge of idealism and, in his various philosophical writings, went out of his way to criticise former Marxists like Sergei Bulgakov and Petr Struve, who had embraced idealist philosophies. Post-Bolshevik activities

During the abortive Revolution of 1905, Valentinov worked for the Ukrainian Menshevik party in various capacities but played a minor role in the political events of the day. He concentrated primarily on journalism, contributing to such papers as Russkoe Slovo (Russian Word) and Kievskaya Mysl (where Leon Trotsky was one of his colleagues). Valentinov published his articles under various pseudonyms. He adopted a moderate Internationalist position during the First World War. He welcomed the Revolution of 1917 but gradually grew disillusioned with Kerenski's provisional government and the Menshevik/SR leaders of the soviets.After the October Revolution, Valentinov left the Menshevik party. He was appointed as a 'non-party specialist' to the Supreme Economic Council of Soviet Russia (Vesenkha), and was one of the architects of the New Economic Policy (NEP) after the Russian Civil War. He also founded the journal Torgovo-Promyshlennaya Gazeta (Commercial-Industrial Gazette). During those years he collaborated closely with <mask>n. After Lenin's death in 1924, Valentinov found his position in Soviet Russia increasingly precarious. He watched the rise of Joseph Stalin with alarm and firmly opposed moves to abandon the NEP in favour of a programme of rapid industrialisation and collectivisation of agriculture. As one of the most ardent defenders of the NEP, Valentinov felt that his life was in danger when Stalin decided definitively to abandon the NEP.In 1928, he fled from the Soviet Union and settled in Paris. He contributed to various émigré journals, now generally using the pseudonym 'E. Yurevski', and reconnected with the Menshevik exiles. Valentinov survived the Second World War in Paris. Valentinov was frequently consulted by scholars (e.g., Leopold Haimson) on the early history of the Russian revolutionary movement and the Soviet Union. In the 1950s and '60s, Valentinov authored and edited various books on historical, philosophical, literary and economic subjects, including: My Encounters with Lenin (1953), Two Years with the Symbolists (1969), The Early Years of Lenin (1969) and The New Economic Policy and the Party Crisis after the Death of Lenin (1971). Several of these works appeared posthumously, as <mask> died in Paris on August 26, 1964.Footnotes

<mask> (born 1 February 1976) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. He also played rugby union at the highest level, becoming a dual-code international. The son of the late Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks legend and CEO <mask>, <mask> played for the Sharks as well. He played in two State of Origin series for Queensland (1999 and 2000), and 7 Tests for the Australian national side (1998 to 2000) before his switch to union in 2001. <mask> played at fly half in his final season for the Waratahs and started in a number of games for the Wallabies in various positions in the backline. He returned to rugby league in 2007 with the newly formed Gold Coast Titans club and retired in 2010. With the Titans beset by injuries and poor form, <mask> announced his comeback to help out the club on-field in 2011, but a serious injury forced him to announce his retirement again just minutes into his first game back.<mask> is also well known for another career path on the Network Ten revival of Australian Survivor, competing in both the third and fifth seasons. Despite not winning either season, he is a massive fan favourite amongst the Survivor fanbase, being dubbed "The Godfather" for his strategic gameplay. <mask> was born in Caringbah, New South Wales, Australia. He began playing junior rugby league for the Engadine Dragons. His father, Steve, retired from professional rugby league in 1986 and the family settled on the Gold Coast, Queensland when <mask> was 9 years of age. He played his junior rugby league for the Nerang Roosters and attended The Southport School (TSS) during his high schooling years, playing both forms of the game. <mask> excelled in union at TSS, a well known rugby union nursery.He played in the Australian Schoolboys representative team in 1993, at one point playing opposite a young Jonny Wilkinson, and future All Blacks player Jonah Lomu. Rugby league career
After deciding that rugby league was his preferred career path, <mask> joined his father's former club, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks. <mask> formed powerful combinations with  partner Andrew Ettingshausen and later fullback David Peachey. he was an entertaining ball-running winger during the mid-to-late 90s. He held several point-scoring records with Cronulla  being a talented goal kicker and having an ability to score tries from the tightest situations. <mask> was chosen for the Australian team to compete in the end of season 1999 Tri Nations tournament. In the final against New Zealand he played on the wing, scoring two tries and kicking three goals in the Kangaroos' 22-20 victory.<mask> expressed his desire to shift from his position on the wing to either Centre or Fullback. However, a serious injury to his shoulder rotator cuff at the conclusion of the Kangaroo's successful 2000 World Cup Campaign destroyed his chance. Despite this he was the tournament's top point-scorer. After a complete shoulder reconstruction he was restricted to a handful of games during the 2001 season, his final year with the Sharks. Rugby union career
Following his switch <mask> was an immediate success in rugby union. He made his Wallaby debut with Wendell Sailor in a Test match against France in June 2002. Collectively at that point they became the 41st and 42nd Australian dual code internationals.His transition had not been without controversy. Several times <mask> found himself the focus of media scrutiny after making comments regarding the state of Australian club rugby in comparison to training for the Wallabies and after an alleged altercation outside an Edinburgh nightclub with a fan in 2004. His initial switch was less than smooth after coach Bob Dwyer revealed that Waratahs and Wallaby stalwart <mask> would be moved from his preferred position of fullback to outside centre in order to accommodate <mask>. His 2004 Super 12 season started brilliantly but a serious ankle injury suffered in South Africa ruled him out of that year's Tri Nations series. An autobiography Off the Wing, On a Prayer was published in 2002 and written while his father <mask> was still alive and when he was married to Michelle Miller, the mother of his children – Jack and Skyla. Starting in the 2005 Tri Nations Series, <mask> was shifted from fullback to play at fly-half following the injury of Stephen Larkham. He continued to play in that position during the 2005 spring tour of Europe and remained there for the Waratahs for most of the new Super 14 competition in 2006.Coming on late in the second half in the second test against South Africa in the 2006 Tri Nations Series, <mask> scored a late try which allowed Stirling Mortlock to kick the winning conversion from the left sideline, for a 20–18 win. It was reported on 28 August 2006 that <mask> had sustained a knee injury requiring arthroscopic surgery and was ruled out of the last test against The Springboks but was fit for the end of year tour. "I've had (the injury) for a couple of weeks and I was hoping it would have pulled up a bit better than it has," <mask> said. "I'm disappointed to miss out on the Springboks match because I feel that we've got a great chance of winning a Test on their soil, which hasn't been done for a long time." The Daily Telegraph in 2006 sparked the question of how many games <mask> has actually not participated in due to injuries and quoted the following figures:
<mask> has missed 21 out of 61 games for the Waratahs, some due to his father's death at the start of the year. For the Wallabies he has played 41 of 57 matches. Overall, he has not played for 37 of 118 games making him a spectator 31% of the time since moving to rugby union.<mask> was named in the 37-man squad for Australia's tour of Europe. He had been selected to play at fly-half with usual number 10 Larkham playing outside him at inside-centre. On 14 December 2006, <mask> was released from his contract from the Waratahs and the Australian Rugby Union. Return to rugby league
In 2007, <mask> revived his rugby league career with the new club, Gold Coast Titans in the National Rugby League. He became their equal top tryscorer for the Titan's inaugural season even after missing a handful of games late in the season due to a cracked patella. <mask> started the 2008 season with the Gold Coast Titans at five-eighth. <mask> had been suspended for the first time in his NRL career after a dangerous tackle on Parramatta Eels winger, Luke Burt, during Round 5 of the NRL Premiership.Roger announced his retirement from professional sport on 16 August 2010, and played his last NRL game on 24 September, with the Titans losing the preliminary final to the Sydney Roosters. There was speculation that he would continue to play in 2011, with <mask> hinting that he would register with the NRL in case of an injury crisis, but that did not eventuate

With the Titans playing poorly in 2011, <mask> had
agreed to train with the club and was intent on returning to the field. He returned in Round 18 against the New Zealand Warriors. However, <mask> broke his foot in the 22-6 loss, effectively ending both his season and his career for a second time. Records and accolades
In 2000, <mask> was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his contribution to Australia's international standing in the sport of rugby league. He holds the standing record for the most points scored in an Australia-New Zealand rugby league Test match with 24 (2 tries and 8 goals) scored in the Anzac Test of 2000 in Sydney. In his five seasons with Waratahs, he became the third highest points scorer with 202 points.He equalled <mask>'s record for the most individual conversions in a match with six, achieved in the Waratahs 2004 round two clash against the Sharks at Aussie Stadium on 28 February 2004. In the 2003 Rugby World Cup, he set the Australian record the most points in match. It came in Australia's 142–0 victory over Namibia where he scored two tries and 16 conversions for 42 points. Whilst playing Rugby League with Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, <mask> had set many records, including:-
Most career points (all grades) - 1321 points (1994 - 2001)
Most points in a season - 212 points (including 18 tries and 70 conversion goals - 2000)
Most points in a match - 26 points (3 tries, 7 conversion goals) versus Newcastle - 2000)
The records in the season of 2000 were set when <mask> only played 23 of 27 games. Of those 23 games, <mask> scored points in every game except Brisbane in Round 17. Personal life

<mask> married model and media personality Chloe Maxwell on the Gold Coast on 26 October 2008. <mask> has four children: Jack and Skyla from a previous relationship, Max Danger (born 5 June 2006) and daughter Phoenix (born 21 September 2007) with current wife Chloe.<mask> has been committed to raising awareness about depression since the death of his father Steve in January 2006. His father battled depression for three years and, while suicide was initially suspected, his death after taking alcohol and prescription drugs was ruled an accident. He has signed on to be an ambassador for Movember, an initiative that encourages men to grow a moustache during November to raise funds for research into depression and prostate cancer. <mask> has said he fears inheriting a propensity for the mental illness. He has made a pact with brother Don always to be honest about their feelings and encouraged men to talk to family, doctors or mates. He was a semifinalist in the fifteenth season of Dancing with the Stars. <mask> worked for the Gold Coast commonwealth Games held in 2018.Australian Survivor
In 2018, <mask> appeared as a contestant on Australian Survivor: Champions vs. Contenders, competing in the fifth season of the competitive reality television series  Australian Survivor as part of the Champions tribe. During the early portions of the game, <mask> used his physical strength to help his tribe win challenges and was avoided being targeted. Before a crucial tribe swap, <mask> had a core alliance with fellow Champion tribemates Shane Gould, Lydia Lassila, Steve Willis, Moana Hope, Samuel "Sam" Hinton, and Sharn Coombes. <mask> was able to make it to merge only losing one alliance member, Hope, but soon assisted in voting out Lassila and Hinton. On Day 37, <mask> had a plan to vote out fellow contestant Brian Lake, but was ultimately blindsided and voted out by tribemates Monika Radulovic and Benji Wilson. <mask> finished in 9th place and became the third member of the jury.During the Final Tribal Council between Gould and Coombes, Coombes's tacit betrayal of <mask> was highlighted and <mask> cast his vote for Gould, which wound up winning her the game. In 2020, <mask> returned to compete on Australian Survivor: All Stars. He gained praise after forming an underground alliance with David Genat, after being on the bottom of the Vakama tribe. At the tribe swap, he was swapped onto a tribe with none of his former alliance members. <mask> was voted out on Day 22, after playing 2 idols throughout the season. He was the 10th person voted out.

<mask> (born 1938) is a Professor of English Emeritus at Emory University as well as Honorary Professor of English Emeritus at Stanford University. He specializes in the work of James Joyce in addition to the work of W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. Also the former president of Emory University, he lives in Palo Alto, California, with his wife <mask>. Biography

Born in Newport News, Virginia,  <mask> was awarded the bachelor of arts degree from Haverford College (1961) and a master's (1963) and Ph.D. in English (1968) from the University of California, Berkeley. He began his teaching career during  a break from his doctoral studies in 1963-64 at Stillman College, a historically Black college, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. While there he joined with Black students in protesting the state's segregationist policies and participated in the 1964 march on the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse that ended in his arrest  the only white person to have been incarcerated. <mask> credits his experience at Stillman with giving him a focused direction in life and strengthening his resolve to become a teacher.While at Stanford he rose to Professor of English and served as Associate Dean of Humanities and Sciences (1982 -1985), and Vice-Provost for Academic Planning and Development (1985 – 1988). He left Stanford to be President of Wesleyan University from 1988-1994, and subsequently become President of Emory University from 1994 until 2003. His presidency at Emory was marked by his acrimonious public relationship with Emory professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, culminating in Sonnenfeld's resignation. Sonnenfeld subsequently sued Emory in the Federal Court, and during the proceedings it emerged that <mask> had anonymously leaked information to the press regarding evidence admitted in the suit, in contravention to university policy. After his service as president he taught courses on Joyce and on Yeats, “War and Literature”, and a course on the relationship of modern literature to ancient literature. He currently teaches a number of courses—on Joyce, Yeats, Eliot and Pound—at Stanford University in its Continuing Studies Program. A chair has been named in his honor in this program.<mask> also participated in dramatics at Stillman, acting in a production of Edward Albee's “The Death of Bessie Smith”, and Kurt Weill's Lost in the Stars

College presidencies
While at Wesleyan, <mask> developed a five-year master plan with the aim of integrating academic and financial development which resulted in a reduction in the size of the administrative staff, a six percent reduction in faculty size, and a large reduction in annual operating expenses. This consolidation caused dissent, especially among faculty, but in his  own reflections on his tenure there, <mask> cited as one of his prime imperatives the need to improve the quality of the faculty. He also wanted the faculty to take more responsibility for decision making. Writing about it in “Inside Higher Education”, <mask> wrote “faculty members are not so much the employees of the institution as they are its intellectual engine and its most important asset. They are "capital" rather than "labor.””

During several months of student protests at Wesleyan in 1990, <mask>'s office was firebombed. He had been accused of being racist and uncommitted to diversity, an irony that the media noted given his early teaching at Stillman and his participation in the civil-rights movement that resulted in being “thrown to the ground by police, threatened with a cattle prod, and locked in jail overnight on charges that included resisting arrest.” Commenting on the Wesleyan incident, <mask> remarked “..when you become president of an institution, for some students it does not make any difference what you were once upon a time. You are 'the man.'You are the symbol or the representative of authority, and you are seen in that way.”  Later, a group calling itself STRIKE (Students Rebuilding Institutions for Knowledge and Education) claimed responsibility for the act. <mask> referred to the act as not political, but criminal. In 2013, <mask> said his years at Wesleyan were "the hardest years of my life," calling the college "a tough place for me." During his tenure at Emory, the University experienced a tremendous growth as a research institution. Emory also invested $1 billion in campus renovation including a new standalone performing arts center, and a residential complex for students. Emory also worked towards making the campus environmentally sound and encouraging diversity in the student body. In 1995, <mask> oversaw Emory's establishment of a campus-wide domestic partners policy for all employees, setting a trend for schools and businesses in the South, although by 2002 it remained only one of two schools in Georgia offering same-sex domestic partners benefits.The move prompted criticism from United Methodist Church's Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference with which Emory has historic ties, though the conference's resolution passed by only a narrow margin. <mask> responded in a lengthy letter to the presiding bishop, arguing that Emory's policy was consistent both with its educational mission and with the call to justice in the Methodist Church's Book of Discipline. Scholarly writing
<mask> has written two scholarly books––The Political Identities of Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot(1973) and Lionel Trilling: Criticism and Politics (1983)––  and  edited (with Peter Collier) Justice Denied: The Black Man in White America; Making It New (poetry anthology with JoAn E<mask>); James Joyce: A Collection of Critical Essays; and An Introduction to Literature (again with Peter Collier). His scholarly articles include writings on Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling, Graham Greene, D. H. Lawrence, T. E. Lawrence and James Joyce. In 2008 Common Knowledge published the first of several essays and reviews <mask> contributed to that magazine, "On the Margin: Irving Howe Reconsidered". In 2011, he contributed an essay on Ezra Pound to a volume titled "AfterWord: Conjuring the Literary Dead".Writing about education
<mask> has written many articles about various aspects of and problems in higher education for The Chronicle of Higher Education, the New York Times, and other publications. Topics covered include multiculturalism, political correctness, consumerism and university finances. The American Interest published his essay, “Apply and Demand,” about the financing of American higher education. These topics are also addressed in his academic memoir 100 Semesters: My Adventures as Student, Professor, and University President, and What I Learned along the Way. and in lectures he gave in 2006 to the Association of American Universities and the Hechinger Institute at Columbia University. His 2009 essay in The American Scholar entitled “Where Have All the Students Gone?” was named by David Brooks of The New York Times as one of the best essays of the year and was named by that columnist a winner of a “Sidney Hook Award.”  The American Scholar has also published his essays “Affirmative Action’s Last Chance.” (2010)  and “The Truth about Campus Cheating.”

<mask> (c. September 1654 – 9 February 1740) was a German composer and organist. He was born in Padingbüttel and worked as organist and composer at Stade's St. Cosmae et Damiani (1675–1702) and Hamburg's famous St. Nikolai (1702–1740), where he played one of the largest contemporary organs. He enjoyed a remarkably high reputation in his lifetime, and had numerous pupils, among which were two of his sons. Despite <mask>'s longevity and fame, very few compositions by him survive: a handful of organ praeludia and chorales in the North German style, a few cantatas and several pieces for harpsichord, some of which were published during the composer's lifetime. Of his works, the organ pieces are the most important: influenced by Dieterich Buxtehude and Johann Adam Reincken, Lübeck composed technically and artistically sophisticated works, with frequent virtuosic passages for pedal, five-voice polyphony, and other devices rarely used by most of the composers of the period. Life

Lübeck was born in Padingbüttel, a small town situated some 70 km north of Bremen. His father (also named <mask>) worked as organist first at Glückstadt and then, from 1647, at the Marienkirche in Flensburg, where he was succeeded in 1654 by Caspar Förckelrath.Lübeck's father died that year, and Förckelrath married the widow; it follows that he must have been young Lübeck's first teacher. According to scholar Wolfram Syré, Lübeck may have also studied under Andreas Kneller, whose influence is palpable in Lübeck's surviving keyboard works. In late 1675 Lübeck became organist of St. Cosmae et Damiani in Stade. The city had been a prominent member of the Hanseatic League, but by 1675 it was being slowly eclipsed by nearby Hamburg. Nevertheless, St. Cosmae had an organ built by the celebrated Arp Schnitger (which still survives, although it has been reconstructed). Upon accepting the post, Lübeck married, as was custom in some parts of North Germany, the daughter of his predecessor, one Susanne Becker. The only dated works by Lübeck are two cantatas composed in Stade in November 1693, both commissioned by the Swedish administration in Stade in memory of Ulrike Eleonora of Denmark.Aside from these pieces, we know very little about the composer's activities at Stade. His reputation as organist, organ consultant and teacher grew steadily, and finally landed him the position at St. Nikolai in Hamburg in 1702; he was succeeded in Stade by his son, Peter Paul (1680–1732). Hamburg was already one of the largest cities in Germany and had a long organ tradition associated first with pupils of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck: Heinrich Scheidemann, Jacob Praetorius, and others. A number of other important composers worked in Hamburg in the late 17th century: among them Matthias Weckmann, who helped organize the concert life of the city, and the aforementioned Reincken, one of the most celebrated organists of his time. However, by the time of Lübeck's arrival, only Reincken was still alive, and the musical life of the city, as well as its economic position, was in a slow decline. In 1720 Johann Sebastian Bach applied for a post at the Jacobikirche, but withdrew the application after acquainting himself with the local circumstances. Nevertheless, Lübeck's position in Hamburg was a prominent one.St. Nikolai was one of the city's most important churches, and the organ was not only another Schnitger but also one of the largest organs in the world: a four-manual instrument with 67 stops. Johann Mattheson, writing in 1721, named both the organ and the organist "extraordinary", alluding to Lübeck's apparently great fame: "But how to extol someone who is already greatly renowned? I need only give his name, <mask>." Unfortunately, Lübeck's St. Nikolai did not survive into the 20th century: the church was destroyed during the Great Fire of 1842. Lübeck remained organist of St. Nikolai until his death in 1740. One of his sons (also named <mask>, 1684–1755) assisted him from 1735 and succeeded him. During much of his career, Lübeck was a renowned teacher and organ consultant (passing judgements on, among others, Schnitger instruments).But we know little about his teaching activities; his pupils, aside from the two sons, included Michael Johann Friedrich Wiedeburg, a renowned keyboard pedagogue. Although J.S. Bach may have been influenced by Lübeck, they almost certainly never met. Lübeck's works were quickly forgotten with much of the rest of 17th and 18th century organ music. The first modern edition of the composer's work appeared in 1921 in Germany (G. Harms (Klecken, 1921)). A school in Stade was named in his honor, the <mask>übeck Gymnasium. Music

Only a few pieces by Lübeck survive: five preludes and fugues (one possibly incomplete, and there is also a spurious sixth prelude and fugue), two chorale settings (one incomplete), a single harpsichord suite published in 1728, and five cantatas.Lübeck's organ works, predictably enough, show the influence of Reincken, as well as that of Buxtehude. The preludes and fugues are remarkably varied, and each has a distinct structure:

 Prelude and Fugue in C major: Toccata – Fugue 1 – Fugato manualiter – Fugue 2
 Prelude and Fugue in C minor: Toccata – Fugue (possibly incomplete)
 Prelude and Fugue in D minor: Toccata – Fugue 1 – Toccata
 Prelude and Fugue in E major: Toccata – Fugue 1 – Fugato – Fugue 2 – Toccata
 Prelude and Fugue in G minor: Toccata – Fugue 1 – Fugue 2 – Toccata – Fugue 3

Buxtehude's impact is apparent in some of Lübeck's fugue subjects, as well as the five-section structure of the E major work. The free sections often feature virtuosic pedal solos, and the G minor work includes double-pedal passages (see Example 1) of a type which is to be found several times in Reincken's output but which is absent from Buxtehude's. Most of Lübeck's fugues have an obbligato countersubject, commonly introduced during the first statement of the subject:

The F major and G major preludes and fugues are now attributed to Lübeck's son, whose name also was <mask>. Both have a simple two-section structure (i.e., Toccata and Fugue) and show no trace of the virtuosity apparent in the fully authenticated works. An organ fantasia on Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ is the only existing complete chorale prelude definitely by Lübeck. At 271 bars, it is one of the largest known examples of the genre.There are twelve clearly defined sections, covering the entire first stanza of the chorale; numerous techniques are employed, including multiple instances of advanced hand-crossing, another feature periodically found in Reincken but not in Buxtehude. Lübeck's variations on Nun lasst uns Gott dem Herren survive incomplete, with only the first six verses set, although these are enough to indicate the composer's skill; his rich variation technique at times almost dispenses with the melody, elaborating only on the harmonic framework of the chorale. Lübeck's Clavier-Übung of 1728 consists of a single harpsichord suite, in which the traditional dances (allemande, courante, sarabande and gigue) are preceded by a prelude and fugue, and a chaconne, which is a simplistic two-voice piece, in which the chorale melody Lobt Gott, ihr Christen allzugleich by Nikolaus Herman is combined with an eight-bar ostinato. The suite, on the other hand, is much more advanced and exhibits some of the virtuosic qualities found in Lübeck's organ works. Of Lübeck's surviving cantatas, Gott wie dein Nahme, Hilff deinem Volck and Willkommen süsser Bräutigam are the less important ones, probably intended for small, average ensembles. The remaining two works, commissioned by the Swedish administration in Stade, include separate instrumental movements, choruses and ritornello arias; they also feature more advanced writing.

<mask> (born 26 November 1965) is a French racing driver. He competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans each year from 1999 until 2010, having initially made his debut at the event in 1994. His best finish in the event came in 2006, when he and Larbre Compétition drivers Luc Alphand and Jérôme Policand took seventh overall, and third in the GT1 category. In addition to this, he has won the French GT Championship and the GT1 category of the Le Mans Series on three occasions each, as well as the Gentleman Trophy category of the Blancpain Endurance Series on one occasion. Racing career

Early career
<mask> began his auto racing career in 1990, whilst competing in the Championnat de France Formule Renault, with his best finish in the series being 11th in 1993. He made his debut in the 24 Hours of Le Mans the following year, driving for Elf Haberthur Racing with Olivier Haberthur and Patrick Vuillaume, but a turbocharger failure on the team's Porsche 911 Turbo forced them to retire. That year, he also competed in the Porsche Carrera Cup France, finishing fifth in Class B.He remained in the series for the next two seasons, finishing sixth in 1995 (winning Class B in the process), and fourth in 1996. In the latter year, he also competed in the BPR Global GT Series, driving for Larbre Competition in a GT2-class Porsche 911 GT2, and he finished the season in 21st place. He also drove for Larbre Competition at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing 20th overall, and seventh in the GT2 class. 1997–1999
In 1997, <mask> started his season with a class win in the 24 Hours of Daytona, driving a Porsche 911 GT2 entered by Roock Racing. <mask> spent the majority of the season competing in the French GT Championship with Larbre, and, partnering Christophe Bouchut for most of the season, took the title at his first attempt, with ten wins. During the season, he also drove a Porsche 911 GT1 alongside Armin Hahne and Pedro Lamy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, helping the Schübel Engineering effort to finish fifth overall, and third in the GT1 category; as well as competing in one race of the inaugural FIA GT Championship with Larbre, in which he scored a single point. <mask> started the 1998 with a third in the 24 Hours of Daytona, driving for Larbre Competition.He remained in the French GT Championship, but was unable to retain his title, despite winning five races; instead, he finished third. A pair of outings with Larbre Competition in the FIA GT Championship did not yield any points, whilst he, Jean-Luc Chéreau and Pierre Yver took 23rd overall, and ninth in the GT2 category in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1999, <mask> won four races of the French GT Championship on his way to second place in the championship. He drove for Chereau Sports in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but the team did not complete 70% of the race distance, and were not classified. Three entries in the FIA GT Championship, driving for Haberthur Racing, did not yield any points. 2000–2002
The dawning of the new millennium marked a change of focus for <mask>, as he began to primarily compete in the FIA GT Championship, entering all ten races of the season, and taking the N-GT class title, with six wins in Larbre Competition's new Porsche 911 GT3-R. He did, however, continue to compete in the French GT Championship, winning one race.In the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he partnered Bouchut and Chéreau, but the trio lasted 34 laps before accident damage forced them to retire. In 2001, <mask> would be less successful in the FIA GT Championship; entering ten of the eleven rounds with Larbre, he finished 12th in the NGT category (after competing in nine races), whilst his single GT category with Larbre saw him classified 12th. He won two races of the French GT Championship in 2001, on his way to third overall. In the 24 Hours of Le Mans, <mask> drove alongside Chéreau and Sebastien Dumez, finishing tenth overall, and fourth in the GT category. In 2002, <mask> left the FIA GT Championship, and instead focused on the French GT Championship; with four victories, he took the title, whilst driving for Nourry Team Competition in a Porsche 911 GT2. He partnered Bouchut and Vincent Vosse at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the trio took 18th overall, and fourth in class. 2003–2005
For 2003, <mask> switched back to Larbre Competition in the French GT Championship, and retained his title, winning two races in the process.At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he drove alongside Bouchut and Steve Zacchia, and they finished 16th overall, and fourth in the GTS category. In 2004, Larbre Competition switched to a Ferrari 550-GTS Maranello, and <mask> was less successful in the French GT Championship; he did not win a race all season, and finished 12th overall. However, he was able, along with teammates Bouchut and Olivier Dupard to take 14th overall, and fifth in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and his only entry in the Le Mans Endurance Series, which came at the 1000 km of Spa, saw him finish second in the GTS class, and tenth overall. In 2005, <mask> primarily focused on the French GT Championship, and took his final win in the series on the way to tenth in the overall standings. He did also compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and partnered Dupard and Vosse to 12th overall, and fourth in the GT2 category. 2006–2008
In 2006, <mask> entered each of the six rounds of the Le Mans Series (LMS), now driving for Luc Alphand Aventures in a Chevrolet Corvette C5-R, and finished sixth in the GT1 standings. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he, Luc Alphand and Jérôme Policand took seventh overall, and third in class.<mask> remained with Luc Alphand Aventures in the LMS for 2007, and took third in the series (winning one race), whilst driving the team's new Chevrolet Corvette C6.R. He partnered Policand and Alphand at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and once again took third in the GT1 class, although the team slipped to 12th overall. He was retained by Luc Alphand Aventures for 2008, and this time, with two victories from five races, won the GT1 category of the LMS. In the 24 Hours of Le Mans, <mask>, Jean-Luc Blancheman and Laurent Pasquali finished 21st overall, and sixth in class. 2009–2011
The 2009 Le Mans Series season was a repeat of the 2008 season, as <mask> won two races on the way to winning the GT1 category. However, an accident after 99 laps forced the Corvette C6.R of <mask>, Alphand and Stephane Gregoire to retire from that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2010, <mask> and Luc Alphand Aventures switched to the Saleen S7-R, and dominated the GT1 category of the Le Mans Series, taking four out of five possible victories on the way to their third title in a row.At the 24 Hours of Le Mans, however, they retired for the second year in a row; this time, the trio of <mask>, Julien Jousse and Xavier Maassen completed 238 laps. <mask> left Luc Alphand Aventures in 2011, after not securing a new contract. Instead, he moved to the Euro-Racecar NASCAR Touring Series, competing in the opening two rounds, and eventually being classified 38th overall in the Elite class, with 53 points. Following these events, he announced that he would be competing in the new Blancpain Endurance Series, driving for Team SOFREV ASP in a Ferrari 458 Italia. He did not win a race, however, and was classified 20th in the GT3 Pro Cup. 2012–2014
In 2012, <mask> remained with SOFREV in the Blancpain Endurance Series, and was classified fourth in the GT3 Pro-Am Cup. In 2013, <mask> competed in the Blancpain Endurance Series' Gentleman Trophy category, and, still driving for SOFREV, won the category, with three victories from five races.In an interview with Endurance-info.com, he revealed that he preferred the GT1 cars he had used in the LMS to the GT3 cars of the Blancpain Endurance Series, and that he hoped to find a budget to remain in GT racing for the 2014 season.

<mask> (; born September 8, 1978) is a former right-handed Major League Baseball starting pitcher. <mask> pitched for the Seattle Mariners for six seasons. With the Kansas City Royals, <mask> made three straight Opening Day starts and was an All Star in 2007. Shoulder and back problems caused the former first-round pick to retire in  at 32 years old. Early years
<mask>, who is Cajun, was a star pitcher at Acadiana High School in his hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, and was a member of the U.S. Junior Olympic team that brought home gold in the  World Junior Baseball Championship. After his junior year of high school, <mask> earned Most Valuable Pitcher honors at the 1995 National Amateur All-Star Tournament at just sixteen years old.However, shortly afterwards, he suffered a viral infection that caused him to miss a considerable amount of playing time his senior year. Nonetheless, <mask> was named to the All-America Second Team by the American Baseball Coaches Association and Rawlings. He intended to attend Louisiana State University, but reconsidered when the Seattle Mariners surprised him by selecting him in the first round of the 1996 Major League Baseball draft. Seattle Mariners
<mask> debuted with the Mariners on July 6, , two months shy of his twenty-first birthday, making him the second-youngest debut for the Mariners at that time (only Ken Griffey, Jr. was younger). Pitching with a 2–1 lead over the Anaheim Angels and two  outs in the sixth, <mask> walked two consecutive batters to force in a run and surrender the lead. He ended up with a no-decision. His first win came on July 19 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.For the season, <mask> went 8–4 with a 4.73 earned run average. <mask> lost his first four decisions of the  season. On June 13, 2000, he tossed a one-hitter against the Kansas City Royals. After coming back to go 4–0 with a 2.64 ERA through his July 4 start against Anaheim, <mask> was lifted in the sixth inning having thrown 113 pitches. His season was cut short due to what was thought at the time to be a dead arm. He went 1–2 with a 3.15 ERA in five rehab starts, but did not pitch at the major league level again for the rest of the season. In February , <mask> underwent arthroscopic surgery to partially repair a frayed rotator cuff, and at the time he was expected to only be on the disabled list for six months.As it turns out, he ended up missing the entire season, and undergoing surgery again on October 3, 2001, on his right AC joint. <mask> went 4–6 with a 6.51 ERA in  for the Texas League's San Antonio Missions, but did not pitch at the major league level again until April 5, . Despite giving up four first inning runs, and taking the loss against the Texas Rangers, <mask> came back to pitch four solid innings in which he allowed just two earned runs on solo shots by Iván Rodríguez and Juan González. From there, <mask> went 15–13 with a 4.59 ERA in what was at the time far and away a career-high 186.1 innings pitched to earn the Sporting News' American League Comeback Player of the Year award. <mask>'s  season got off to a slow start as his record stood at 1–5 with a 7.06 ERA following a June 1 start against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was optioned to the Pacific Coast League's Tacoma Rainiers, and returned to the M's on July 30, to go 6–2 with a 3.95 ERA in thirteen second half starts. In 2005, <mask> won 10 games despite posting an ERA of 5.09 and failing to reach 150 innings despite pitching in 26 starts.He averaged less than 6 innings in over half of his starts. In 2006, <mask> won 11 games while losing 8 in 32 starts. He struck out 156 batters in 186.2 innings. Kansas City Royals
After signing one year contracts with the Mariners for the  and  seasons, <mask> signed a five-year contract with the Kansas City Royals on December 7, 2006, worth $55 million, matching Mike Sweeney's contract as the largest in club history until Alex Gordon agreed to a four-year $72 million deal in 2016. His record stood at 5–6 with a 3.54 ERA when he was named the Royals' sole representative at the 2007 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in San Francisco. <mask> finished the season with a 9–13 record, while posting career bests in ERA (3.67), innings pitched (216) and a league-leading 34 starts. <mask> led the American League with 34 starts again in , while improving to 14–11 with a 3.98 ERA, and pitching over 200 innings for the second consecutive year for a Royals club that finished 75–87 and in fourth place in the American League Central.On June 16, , <mask> pitched a four-hit shutout against the Diamondbacks to improve his season record to 4–5 with a 3.31 ERA. The 132 pitches he threw, however, took a toll on <mask> and he began experiencing back and shoulder problems soon afterwards. For the rest of the season, <mask> went just 2–5 with an 8.06 ERA. For the first time in his Royals career, 31-year-old <mask> did not receive the opening day nod for Kansas City in . Instead he was slated as the number-two starter behind reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke. Hampered by injuries again, <mask> spent considerable time on the DL in 2010 and was 0–4 with a 6.66 ERA after making his final career start on May 25. After five rehab appearances with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals and Omaha Royals, <mask> returned to the Royals as a reliever that September.He made eleven appearances, giving up three earned runs in thirteen innings. Retirement

Despite a guaranteed contract that called for a $12 million salary in 2011, <mask> chose to walk away from the game on January 18 as he considered it unfair for the Royals to pay him millions if he would be out all year in the last year of his contract. In popular culture

The rock group Band of Horses, which was founded in Seattle in 2004, wrote and dedicated their song "Wicked Gil" to <mask>. References

<mask>   (born 16 October 1963) is the Professor of Ultrasonics and Underwater Acoustics at the University of Southampton. He is the inventor-in-chief of Sloan Water Technology Ltd., a company founded around his inventions. He is an academician of three national academies. Trained in physics and theoretical physics, he works across physical, medical, biological, social and ocean sciences, fluid dynamics and engineering. He joined the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton in 1992 as a lecturer in underwater acoustics, and completed the monograph The Acoustic Bubble in the same year. He was awarded a personal chair at the age of 35 and has authored over 400 publications. Education
He was educated at Heversham Grammar School, Cumbria and Magdalene College, Cambridge where he studied the Natural Sciences Tripos and awarded a double first class Bachelor of Arts degree with honours in physics and theoretical Physics in 1985, obtaining a PhD in 1988 at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge.Following his PhD, he was awarded senior and advanced research fellowships at Magdalene College, Cambridge funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Early career
He joined the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton in 1992 as a lecturer in underwater acoustics, and completed the monograph The Acoustic Bubble in the same year. He was awarded a personal chair at the age of 35. Research

He founded and leads two research organisations he founded (Global-NAMRIP and HEFUA), is a director and inventor-in-chief of Sloan Water Technology Ltd., and talks extensively to schoolchildren, the public, and on radio and video. His research covers medical, humanitarian and environmental sciences, beginning with the fundamental mathematics and ending with engineering applications. His research interests cover acoustical oceanography, antimicrobial resistance, biomedical ultrasound, carbon capture and storage, climate change, decontamination, hospital acquired infections, marine zoology, fluid dynamics, ultrasound and underwater acoustics. Such fields as cold water cleaning, sound in space, ultrasound in air, BiaPSS, TWIPR, and passive acoustic lithortripsy monitoring, pushed pioneering research into game-changing technology.as opposed to incremental research that is published but falls short of societal benefit:

He worked as part of the team investigating whether man-made sounds can adversely affect benthic species (marine life that inhabits the seabed). Such species have been overlooked in studies on how man-made sounds affect whales, dolphins and fish: benthic species find it far harder to relocate away from adverse sounds than do these other more mobile species. Furthermore, benthic species play a key role in the health of the marine sediment, turning it over and preventing it stagnating, and are key to the health of coastal marine environments. With other teams he developed methods to assess which fish species are most at-risk from man-made noise in the oceans, and quantified such noise from shipping. Turning the problem on its head, he worked with other teams on how to use sound as 'underwater acoustic scarecrows' to guide fish away from regions of man-made danger. These might occurs, for example, where industry exacts cooling water from rivers used as migration paths of endangered species (the young of European eel are slim enough for the flow to pull them through grills placed over such extraction points). (key collaborator: Paul White)

NAMRIP and Global-NAMRIP
The Global Network for AntiMicrobial Resistance and Infection Prevention (Global-NAMRIP), is a multidisciplinary research team of hundreds researchers and end users, across four continents, including engineers, chemists, microbiologists, environmental scientists, veterinary and human medics, clinicians who contribute to international and national antibiotic guidelines for specified conditions, experts in food, ethics and law, crucially networked with economists, geographers, health scientists and experts from other social science disciplines to provide a truly joined up approach to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and infection prevention (offsetting the loss of diversity in pharmaceutical industry research teams).As <mask> said at NAMRIP's 2016 conference:

Global-NAMRIP was set up to search for such solutions and mitigations, with particular emphasis to finding alternatives to the oft-cited route of simply funding drug companies to produce more antibiotics. According to the New Scientist,:

Global-NAMRIP creates new research teams, commissions new research, engaging with industry to roll out solutions to society, and engaging with the public and policymakers to conduct outreach, education and dialogue. The award-winning Public Engagement and Policymaker Engagement programmes that Leighton devised and leads have been mentioned in Parliament by the Under-Secretary of State for Health on 16 November 2017. and <mask> has addressed the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee on his approach to addressing the threat of AMR. Global-NAMRIP particularly supports Low/Middle Income Countries with not-for-profit interventions, for example with initiatives in urban and rural Ghana (infection being the primary cause of death in rural Ghana). In Uganda in 2019, Global-NAMRIP members from Uganda, Liberia, Malawi, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and the UK met to compare, for the first time, the national AMR strategies of their respective countries, to share best practice. The meeting also produced significant impact in education, support for young innovators, and responded to a request from the Ugandan Minister for Health to write for him the 'Kampala Declaration on AMR'. Health Effects of Ultrasound in Air
Health Effects of Ultrasound in Air (HEFUA) was founded to map the increasing use of ultrasound in public places, and to investigate whether or not this increase is having adverse effects on some humans (following an investigation which revealed that the use of ultrasound in public places is increasing, and that guidelines were inadequate prior to the 2016 report).The 2016 report that first raised the issues was, in the first 2 years, downloaded over 20,000 times from the Royal Society website, leading to requests for a follow-up, a journal special issue, and numerous conference sessions worldwide as the importance of this topic was realised. Scientists, engineers and the public around the world are now logging the location and type of device that emits ultrasound. <mask> became an acknowledged world expert on such public exposures, and on the claims of 'sonic attacks' on US Embassy staff in Cuba and China. His expertise on the effect on humans of ultrasound in air provided the scientific basis that was cited by Giles Watling MP (Clacton, Conservative) in the Motion for leave to bring in a Bill (Standing Order No. 23) on "Anti-loitering Devices (Regulation)" (17 July 2018 Volume 645, 2.06 pm). Extraterrestrial acoustics
 Predicting the soundscapes of other worlds and how these could best be exploited using acoustic devices, led to devices for planetaria to use when teaching about other worlds, and showed how careful calculation was needed to avoid mistakes when using acoustic sensors on other worlds. Marine mammal acoustics
<mask>'s explanation of how humpback whales use sound when feeding in bubble nets is now a staple explanation on whale tour boats.He explained how dolphins can echolocate while producing bubble nets to hunt, a process that should blind their sonar. Inventions

Medical and healthcare
Leighton invented systems for:
 detecting bone disease (including osteoporosis). monitoring the efficiency of kidney stone therapy (an invention that won the 2008 ‘Medical & Healthcare’ award from ‘The Engineer’ with key collaborator: Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust). solutions for needle-free injectors for migraine sufferers (over 1 million sold). and assisted the Institute of Cancer Research with technology for tumour therapy monitoring (2010). Two billion people have been scanned in the womb under the guidelines he helped co-author for the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology guidelines for foetal ultrasonic scanning. He served on the Government of the United Kingdom's Working Group of the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies Sub Group and advised the Health Protection Agency and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection  on the safety of ultrasound.Other medical and healthcare inventions and breakthroughs are listed below under Sloan Water Technology Ltd., Global-NAMRIP and HEFUA. Humanitarian

Leighton invented:
 radar for the detection of buried explosives, hidden bugging devices, and for the location of buried catastrophe victims (in avalanches, mudslides, collapsed buildings etc.) the world's only sonar system capable of detecting objects in bubbly water (key, for example, to protecting services, cargo and aid shipping in conflict zones). - mine detection is often an ongoing problem long after conflict has reduced and civilians return to former conflict zones (key collaborator: Paul White)
 a number of systems for detecting objects buried in the seabed

and, in collaboration with the National Oceanography Centre, one sold by Kongsberg for archaeological and civil engineering purposes. Various collaborations are looking at ways of providing clean water from waste in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, including mentorships of young entrepreneurs in Africa. Environmental and Safety

Leighton:
 devised and conducted the experiment that revealed that the amount of carbon dioxide dissolving into the oceans was much greater than the values previously used in predicting climate change and ocean acidification;
 invented technology used by environmental agencies and oil and gas companies to monitor for undersea gas leaks from pipelines, and from methane seeps, by their acoustic emissions. devised the theory and methodology by which sonar could be used to monitor and quantify gas leaks from carbon capture and storage facilities in the seabed.This was later included as part of large-scale multinational trials on the North Sea seabed and elsewhere to assess leakage
 systems assess the amount of methane in the seabed. This is important to assess the potential for leaks from these reserves into the sea and (eventually) the atmosphere (in the seabed, there is probably more carbon trapped in methane than there is in all other forms of conventional fossil fuel, yet as a greenhouse gas methane is 20 times more potent per molecule than carbon dioxide, so assessing how much is in the seabed, and how much leaks into the atmosphere, is a key task). devised theory and methodology for measuring key parameters in the transfer of atmospheric gas between atmosphere and ocean, that was later included in large-scale multi-national trials This is important for climate change modelling, because over 1000 million tonnes of atmospheric carbon transfers each year between atmosphere and ocean. Inventions assist safety in the world's most powerful pulsed spallation neutron source ($1.3 billion) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States. Sloan Water Technology Ltd. In the late 1980s, <mask> discovered a new ultrasonic signal that he identified as due to surface waves on the walls of gas bubbles in liquids. Multidisciplinary research in the following ten parallel streams of work turned this discovery into Sloan Water Technology Ltd:
 Theory of how to stimulate these surface waves;
 measurement of the liquid convection and shear they generate; theory on how sound causes the bubbles to generate cracks;
 theory for acoustics in porous materials (leading to the first theory to show why passing ultrasound through different directions in the human ankle could monitor osteoporosis);
 the world's first measurements of the bubble size distribution for industry and in the ocean surf zone, leading to ocean measurements necessary to predict the climatological significance of the transfer of carbon dioxide between atmosphere and ocean.It also provided techniques for measurement in industrial pipelines which led to sensors for the oil and gas, carbon capture and storage, ceramics and nuclear industries. measurement of the liquid convection and shear from these surface waves; theory on how sound causes the bubbles to generate cracks;
 acoustic losses in water surrounded on all sides by air and containing microscopic natural particles;
 acoustic propagation down curved columns of fluid, and how horns could facilitate this;
 use of acoustic pulses to enhance bubble activity;
 controlled bubble generation;
 how these bubbles affect living cells and surfaces. These 10 streams of fundamental research represented the knowledge on which Sloan Water Technology Ltd. was founded. It is currently producing technology for cleaning and changing surfaces using only cold water, air bubbles and sound (without chemicals or drugs). This reduces the use of water and electricity, reduces pollution and has run-off that is easier to convert back to drinking water, and reduces the threat of ‘superbugs’. Awards and honours

, known by her maiden name , is a Japanese singer, pop idol and actress born in Hamura, Tokyo, Japan. She was a member of Onyanko Club between May 1986 and September 1987 and went on to have a successful solo career with 11 number-one hits. Biography
<mask> began her singing career at the age of 14 as a member of three-piece pop unit Seventeen Club formed by runners-up from the 1984 Miss Seventeen Contest organized by Japanese teen magazine Seventeen, which Shuesha publishes. They had two singles released by CBS/Sony Records in 1985. Their first single "Su Ki Futari Tomo!" was released on 21 January 1985, and was used in a television advertisement for snack food products "Suzuki Kun" and "Sato Kun" manufactured and sold by S&B Foods. The second single "Baajin Kuraishisu (Virgin Crisis)" was released on 25 August 1985.Its lyrics were written by Sunplaza Nakano-kun, who was a lead singer of Japanese rock band Bakufu Slump. <mask> later said that she hated the second single and that she joined the group "just to have fun". Onyanko Club made their television debut on 1 April 1985, on Fuji TV's daily live television variety show Yūyake Nyan Nyan. Initially the group consisted of nine high school girls and two high school graduates, namely Sayuri Kokusho (number 8) and Satomi Fukunaga (number 11). They were selected from participants in Fuji TV's show  aired in February and March that year. <mask> auditioned for the group in May 1986 during her first year in high school and became a member with number 38 assigned on 23 May.. The group gave a new approach to the idol formula with 52 members and three associate members, with subgroups, such as Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi, Nyangilas and Ushirogami Hikaretai.After having appeared in the one-hour daily TV show from Monday to Friday regularly and having participated in Onyanko Club's fifth single "Osaki ni Shitsurei" as well as their nationwide concert tour in the summer and fall of 1986, <mask> was selected as one of two backing vocals for Onyanko Club number 36 member Marina Watanabe's first single "Shinkokyu-shite", along with Akiko Ikuina (number 40). The single was released under the name of "Watanabe Marina with Onyanko Club" by Epic/Sony Records on 8 October 1986, and debuted at number one on the Oricon's Japanese single chart (the national single chart). <mask> continued to participate in Onyanko Club's recordings, such as their fourth album Side Line, which was the first one of their albums <mask> participated in and contains few songs in which <mask> had solo vocal parts, such as "Dare no Sei Kana" and "Shin-Shin Kaiin Bangou no Uta". In the spring of 1987, <mask> was selected as one of the three members of Ushirogami Hikaretai along with Akiko Ikuina and Makiko Saito (number 42). The group's first single "Toki no Kawa wo Koete" was released by Canyon Records on 7 May 1987, and debuted at number one on the Oricon's Japanese single chart. The song and its B-side "Ushirogami Hikaretai" were used as an opening theme and ending theme, respectively, of Fuji TV's anime High School! Kimengumi.Also, <mask> was featured as one of the four main vocals for Onyanko Club's eighth single "Katatsumuri Samba" released by Canyon Records on 21 May 1987. It debuted at number one on the Japanese single chart. Ushirogami Hikaretai subsequently released four more singles, two studio albums and two videos from July 1987 to June 1988 with a live album released as their final material in July 1988 (Hora ne, Haru ga Kita – First Concert). <mask> has said of her time in Onyanko Club that "it was a great experience, with good, bad and really dirty things", and that she tried not to draw too much attention to herself over senior Onyanko Club members who were more popular than her at that time. Less than three weeks before Onyanko Club disbanded on 20 September 1987 with their two-day final concerts at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, <mask> launched her solo career with her first single "Kindan no Telepathy" released by Canyon Records on 31 August. It debuted at number one on the Japanese single chart and also became a favorite throughout Asia during the early 1990s. The second and third singles, "Again" and "Daite-kuretara-iinoni", had moderate success, both reaching number three on the Oricon's Japanese single chart.Released on 1 June 1988, the fourth single "Fu-ji-tsu" reached number one on the chart. The song drew attention as its lyrics were written by famed and critically acclaimed Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima. The number of its sales exceeded that of each of the three previous singles. The fifth single "Mugon... Iroppoi", whose lyrics were written by Nakajima again, was used in television advertisements for cosmetics products of Japanese company Kanebo Cosmetics, and reached number one on the chart. It was sold more than double the previous single. She eventually enjoyed a run of eight consecutive number-one singles in Japan between 1988 and 1990, eleven in total, and four number-one albums between 1988 and 1991. She continued to release new music every year until 2000 with sporadic releases since then.Her most recent release came in 2008 when she teamed up with Miyuki Nakajima, co-composer of five of <mask>'s late-1980s hits, for a double A-side, "Night Wing"/"Yuki Gasa". <mask> said of their long-term working relationship that "We are not that close. We have a nice distance. Sometimes when I hear her music, it scares me but I especially like her passionate lyrics." <mask> also appears on television in jidaigeki roles and also creates her own jewelry sold in Japan. Personal life

<mask> married Takuya Kimura of popular boy-band SMAP in 2000. They have two children named Kokomi and Mitsuki.Discography
