<mask><mask> (born 29 July 1982) is a painter who studied at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Her works, commencing in 1998, include Impressionist gardens, landscapes, churches, beaches, and morbid surrealisms. Formative years

She was born on 29 July 1982 in Santa Cruz Manila, Philippines. Both of her parents were professors and artists. Her father is the late noted painter <mask>. He was an art educator, a poet and a philosopher. As a painter, he was prolific.He had a total of 80 solo exhibitions both in the Philippines and abroad. <mask> <mask>'s father did not teach her how to paint, so, after his death in 1998, she taught herself how to paint and pursued her own artistic vision, using her father's style and previous paintings as an inspiration. In that same year, she then mounted her first solo exhibition at the age of 16. In the year 2000, she began to depart from her father's style and started to give way to her penchant for impressionist techniques as seen in her 2000 to 2008 paintings. <mask> produced spontaneously and exhibited her gardens, churches, landscapes, flowers, portraits, nudes, and people in their various endeavors along this grain. <mask> <mask> was inspired by Rico Manlapas, the curator of Artis Corpus gallery, to explore her range of style. When she found what she was looking for, <mask> surprised the art scene by launching her 16th solo exhibit, titled "Aenigma."The show was a complete departure from her usual impressionistic garden paintings. For a year, she explored the surreal, the morbid, the mechanical, and the unknown. Her works were dominated with proto-human skulls and skeletons - in anatomical veracity of detail. Evident also were symbolic images and leading motifs such as nude female figures, fetuses, throbbing hearts, ghoulish faces and realistic, probosces, mouths and eyeballs, human skeletons and nude female figures. So from the year 2009 up to the present, her works, classified as surrealism, are images from her subconscious mind. Through this, she was able to create artworks that to others are "morbid" but oozing with mystical, esoteric and occult symbolism. Solo exhibitions

<mask> (February 14, 1891 – July 8, 1977) was an aviation pioneer who in 1912 became the fourth woman in the United States to earn the FAI pilot certificate. She set flying records for aerobatic maneuvers, distance, and endurance. She was the first female pilot employed by the US Postal Service, and the first civilian pilot to fly the mail in Canada. She was also one of the first pilots to ever fly at night and the first female pilot to fly in Canada and Japan. Early life and flight training
<mask> was born on February 14, 1891, at Fort Payne, Alabama to Edward Sr. and <mask>. Edward Sr. left the family, leaving Emma alone to raise Stinson and her younger siblings Edward Jr., Marjorie, and John(Jack). Emma moved the family to Jackson, Mississippi where Stinson attended high school.She excelled at music and dreamed of being a concert pianist. After she graduated from high school, the family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Stinson learned to drive the family flivver at the age of 14. In 1911, she took her first flight aloft in a hot-air balloon in Kansas City. Smitten by the flying bug, Stinson sold her piano to help pay for flying lessons. Stinson went to St. Louis to take flight lessons from Tony Jannus, who allowed her to fly only as a passenger. She then took flying lessons from the well-known aviator Max Lillie, a pilot for the Wright Brothers, who initially refused to teach her because she was female.However, <mask> was able to solo the Wright B, after only four hours of instruction, on 13 July 1912 at Cicero Field. She was the fourth woman in the United States to obtain a pilot's certificate, which she earned on July 24, 1912, at the age of 21. Stunt flying and world records

After she received her certificate, Stinson returned to the family farm in Hot Springs, Arkansas. <mask> and her mother Emma incorporated the Stinson Aviation Company in April 1913 to "manufacture, sell, rent, and otherwise engage in the aircraft trade." In May, Stinson bought a Wright B from Lillie. In July, she flew at Cincinnati's Coney Island Park, and then Columbus, Indiana in August. She then carried the first air mail at the Helena State Fair, flew at the Illinois State Fair, then El Paso, Helena, Arkansas, New Orleans, and Beaumont, Texas.Stinson then received permission to use the aeroplane sheds at Fort Sam Houston. She believed the San Antonio, Texas area to have an ideal climate for flying. In 1915, the <mask> family established the Stinson Municipal Airport, and the Stinson School of Flying. Emma managed the school, <mask> financed it, Eddie worked as a mechanic, and Marjorie flight instructed. In March 1915, the famous Lincoln Beachey died in a crash at San Francisco and Stinson acquired the rotary engine from his wrecked plane, rebuilt it and used it in her plane. Stinson began exhibition flying and became known as the "Flying Schoolgirl" and "America's Sweetheart of the Air." On July 18, 1915, at Cicero Field in Chicago, Illinois, Stinson performed a loop (a year after Lydia Zvereva became the first woman aviator to do so), and went on to perform this feat some 500 times without a single accident.She also became one of the first pilots to ever fly at night. Adding to her night flying experience, she flew over Los Angeles with flares attached to the plane and spelt out "CAL", becoming the first nighttime sky-writer. In another publicity stunt on May 6, 1916, Stinson flew her plane in a race with Dario Resta, the 1916 Indianapolis 500 champion. In 1917, Stinson made a six-month tour of China and Japan, becoming one of the first females to fly in Asia. The Japanese gave her the name "Air Queen". On December 11, 1917, Stinson flew 610 miles from San Diego to San Francisco, setting a new American non-stop distance record. During exhibition flights in Canada, Stinson became the first civilian to fly the mail in Canada on a flight from Calgary to Edmonton, Alberta in 1918.All of her stunt flying was done in aircraft using the Wright control system, which uses two side-mounted levers for pitch and roll, with top mounted controls for throttle and yaw. US Air Mail Service
After the US entered WWI in 1917, the government prohibited civilian flying in order to direct all aviation resources to the Army and Navy for the war effort. This caused the closure of the Stinson School in 1917. Stinson was allowed to fly a Curtiss JN-4D "Jenny" and a Curtiss Stinson-Special (a single seat version of the JN aircraft built to her specifications) for fundraising for the American Red Cross. The fledgling US Postal Air Service was the only non-military flying operation allowed by the government and the only other venue for Stinson to fly. In 1918, Stinson approached Benjamin Lipsner, superintendent of the Post Office Department airmail operations, about a publicity stunt for long a distance mail service flight from Chicago to New York City. She encountered strong headwinds on the flight and flew non-stop from Chicago to Binghamton, New York, where she had to stop for fuel.The airplane flipped over on landing in a field, and took several days to repair. <mask> then flew from Binghamton to New York City completing the mail route. Unable to find stable aviation work, she applied to Lipsner once again, but this time as a regular mail service pilot. She was hired and assigned to the New York City-Philadelphia route. On her first trip, she followed her instructor, veteran air mail pilot Maurice Newton, down to Philadelphia where he showed her the landmarks, emergency landing fields, and other pertinent tips for the route. The following day he followed her back to New York City to make sure she had the route mastered. The press mistakenly reported this as she had beat her instructor back to New York City in a race.This reporting caused animosity at work, and she quit the mail service after the one round-trip. Stinson then left for Paris to be an ambulance driver for the Red Cross during WWI, ending her aviation career. Later life
The weather and wartime conditions in Europe affected her health and she came down with tuberculosis. Returning from the war, she went to the New York Sanitarium and then to the dry climate of New Mexico in 1920 to help combat the disease. Stinson's tuberculosis diminished after four years. In 1927, Stinson married ex-army aviator Miguel Antonio Otero, Jr., a district judge and son of the former territorial governor of New Mexico. Stinson worked as an award winning architect and Pueblo style home designer for many years in Santa Fe, New Mexico.They raised four adopted children. Death and honors
After a long period as an invalid, she died in 1977 at the age of 86. She is buried in Santa Fe National Cemetery. Stinson's flying inspired her brothers to form the Stinson Aircraft Company. An early Laird biplane looped by Stinson is on display at the Henry Ford Museum. A replica of her 1918 Curtiss Stinson-Special is on display at the Alberta Aviation Museum in Edmonton. The second oldest general aviation airport in the United States, Stinson Municipal Airport (KSSF) in San Antonio, Texas, was named in the <mask> family's honor.A middle school in northwest San Antonio, TX, <mask>inson Middle School, was named in her honor. In 2000, Stinson was inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. <mask>'s biography is featured in CBS TV series The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation, episode 54 in the series. In 2019, Stinson was selected to the National Aviation Hall of Fame. Works featuring <mask>on

<mask> (1951 or 1952 – 9 September 1982) was an Irish gay man attacked and killed in Fairview Park in Dublin. His murder is seen as the catalyst for the LGBTQ Pride movement in Ireland. His death came about as a result of a series of beatings meted out to gay men in Dublin who used Fairview Park as a meeting place at the time. Personal life
<mask> was an Aer Rianta worker in Dublin who lived on Swords Road, Whitehall, Dublin. <mask> was known to young gay activists, though not very well. <mask> had helped out on occasion at the Hirshfield Centre in the nascent Temple Bar, a resource centre for the gay community, but was spotted there infrequently and was not particularly active within the capital's emerging gay rights movement. <mask>'s family, who lived near the park on the Swords Road, did not know that he was gay.Nor did they know he frequented places where other young gay men went to find sexual partners. Indeed, <mask>'s father, <mask>, said his son was not gay. Killing
A series of homophobic beatings was carried out in Fairview Park during the summer of 1982. Fairview Park was a popular gay cruising area at that time. On the night of 9 September 1982, <mask> had gone with a friend to Belton's Pub in Donnycarney, a short distance from his home. When he left the pub around 11:45 that night, he spoke for a while with his friend and then walked home along Collins' Avenue to Swords Road, before making his way through Fairview Park. Along the way <mask> called to the Fairview Grill where he met with a male friend who gave him a peck on his cheek as they were parting.His body was found badly beaten about the head in Fairview Park on the morning of 10 September 1982 and was taken to Blanchardstown Hospital. Initial reports were that he had died as a result of head injuries. Gardaí initially worked on the theory that he died after being robbed as he carried no identification nor money. At the inquest, the coroner heard that North Strand Depot Fire Station received a call at 1:45 am on 10 September to go to Fairview Park. They arrived at 1:48 am and found <mask>, his body still warm but there was no sign of life or a pulse. He was brought to Blanchardstown Hospital, being the only hospital on call on the north side of the city. The pathologist said that it would have made no difference if <mask> had been brought to another hospital.He went on to say that if the blood which had built up in <mask>'s respiratory system had been removed quickly he might have lived, but this would have had to be done on the spot. Murder charges and trial
On Sunday, 12 September 1982, a 14-year-old juvenile was charged with <mask>'s murder at a special sitting of Dublin District Court at the Bridewell. He was remanded in custody. The beatings were carried out by a gang of 5 men:

Anthony (Tony) Maher (aged 19) of Poplar Row Flats, Ballybough;
Robert Alan Armstrong (aged 18) of Plunkett Drive, Finglas West;
Patrick Kavanagh (aged 18) St Brigid's Avenue, North Strand;
Colm Donovan (aged 17) of Buckingham Street Lower; and
a 14-year-old boy who could not be named for legal reasons. As <mask> lay dying, £4 from his pocket and his watch were stolen. Applications were made for separate murder trials for each of the five which was turned down by the Central Criminal Court on 22 February 1983. The murder trial of the 14-year-old commenced on 1 March 1983.Maher, Armstrong, Kavanagh and Donovan pleaded guilty to manslaughter and their sentencing was put back until the conclusion of the murder trial against the 14-year-old. The 14-year-old gave a statement to Gardaí concerning the killing. In the statement which was opened in Court at the murder trial, he said that he had gone to see a friend in Donnycarney on the night of the 9 September and left at midnight cycling down Malahide Road. Whilst cycling through Fairview Park he saw a gang and he went over to see them. One of the gang said to him: "Hide behind a tree. We are going to bash a queer". After hiding his bike, he joined the gang to hide behind a tree.One of the gang went and sat alone on a bench. His statement went on to say that a man (<mask>) approached one of the gang on the bench. Following contact between the men, <mask> fled running away and he heard someone shout "Get him." One of the other accused then tripped the man. The 14-year-old said that he had a skinny branch as a weapon and the others had sticks. His statement said that he saw some of the gang hit the man who was lying on the ground with the sticks. Counsel for the 14-year-old described the case as one of the saddest and most tragic cases to come before any court.He said that the only evidence against the 14-year-old was his statement and that he said that he had only struck <mask> "on the arse" and could not have anything to do with his death. Counsel for the accused said no aspersions were being cast on the character of <mask> and that there was no attempt to justify or excuse "queer bashing" whatever that was. Mr Justice Seán Gannon charged the jury to find the accused not guilty on the murder count. Following a deliberation of 3.5 hours, the jury returned its verdict of guilty of manslaughter. Sentencing was adjourned to 8 March 1983. Armstrong and Maher gave statements to the Gardaí admitting their part in the killing. They had returned to the park after leaving their girlfriends at home and were joined by Kavanagh and Donovan.Armstrong stated that: "We were part of the team to get rid of queers from Fairview Park." In his statement which was read to court, he told Gardaí: "A few of us had been queer-bashing for about six weeks before and battered about 20 steamers. We used to grab them. If they hit back we gave it to them." He indicated that he had not meant to kill <mask> and had dialed 999 for an ambulance when he saw blood coming from his mouth. At trial, the court heard that <mask> had inhaled from blood bleeding from his mouth and nose and had died from asphyxia. At sentencing, all five walked free as they were given suspended sentences with Mr. Justice Seán Gannon telling them that they would have to serve their sentences if they got into trouble again.The judge said that he must demonstrate the abhorrence of the community by imposing sentences, but that he didn't think it necessary that they be served immediately by detention. In suspending the sentences of all, Mr Justice Gannon said:

Fallout
When <mask>'s father was asked to comment on the outcome of the case he said: "I had expected that justice would be done and be seen to be done." The Irish Times reported that youngsters at a block of flats were in an almost celebratory mood following the handing down of the suspended sentences. One local woman told its reporter that here had been cheering when the news of the suspended sentences reached the neighbourhood. The decision not to jail the killers drew strong statements of surprise and concern from all parties. Calls were made for the Minister for Justice to inquire into all aspects of the case and present a full report to the Dáil as a matter of urgency. The sentence was contrasted with a case where a man who stole a purse and cash worth £20.36 was imprisoned for 12 months.David Norris said he was very concerned at the outcome of the case because it would appear to give a free hand to vigilante gangs out to intimidate gays saying: "It could be interpreted as a licence to kill". The sentencing gave rise to a debate in the Dáil on 10 March 1983 during which calls were made for uniformity of sentencing. It was pointed out that one of the young people who was sentenced to a 12 months suspended sentence was sentenced previously to a two-year suspended sentence for the theft of a car. This was stated to clearly indicate the inconsistency in sentencing policy which is very hard to justify. There were demands in the Dáil for the dismissal of Mr Justice Seán Gannon. Armstrong was back before court on Friday 11 March 1983 where he was convicted in Dublin District Court of daubing the words "Up the IRA" on an advertising board in Fairview. He was ordered to pay the £20 cost of replacement to the owners of the board, and was given one month to pay a fine of £20.Armstrong and Maher were, at the time of the killing, Airmen in the Irish Air Corps of the Defence Forces. In keeping with normal Defence Forces procedures, an army officer monitored the trial and reported to their commanding officer. The then-General Officer Commanding the Air Corps, General James Connolly, decided, after a 30-day wait for the lodge of an appeal that under Defence Force Regulations, that as a result of their convictions for manslaughter that they should be discharged from the Defence Forces. In response to Justice Gannon's verdict, the largest gay rights demonstration ever seen on the island of Ireland took place on Saturday 19 March 1983. Approximately 400 men, women, and children marched in protest against street violence against homosexuals, lesbians, and women and the unjust sentences handed down by the courts in these cases. The demonstrators marched from Liberty Hall to Fairview Park. The march was organised by the Dublin Gay Collective with support from the National Gay Federation, the Anti-Amendment Campaign, Women's Right to Choose Campaign, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, the Union of Students in Ireland, the Socialist Workers' Movement, the anarchist Workers Solidarity Movement, members of the Drumcondra branch of Sinn Féin and many other NGOs.On 1 December 1987, Armstrong was sentenced to 10 years in prison when he admitted to raping a woman who was 7 months pregnant after giving her young children sweets to keep them quiet. Armstrong and Paul Davis broke into the victim's flat and raped her while her husband was at work. Armstrong told the victim that she had the choice of getting a kick in the stomach or being raped. Memorial
In 2013, independent councillor Damian O'Farrell submitted a proposal that the revamped Fairview Park footbridge be named after the late <mask>. Councillor O'Farrell said it would be a fitting tribute, adding: "<mask> was a gay man when homosexuality was a crime. The gay community is now a major part of Dublin. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time and naming Fairview footbridge after him will send a strong message that there is no place for racism and homophobia in our community."At a meeting of the North Central Area Committee Council meeting on the 16 February 2015, a second proposal was put forward in similar terms to rename the bridge by Councillor Seán Haughey. Clarification was sought on the previous proposal. On the day that the Marriage Equality referendum passed, the bridge was decorated in his memory, with flowers and tributes being left at the park bench where the attack occurred. See also

<mask> (October 30, 1933 – September 26, 2011) was a prominent Slovene physicist a full professor of physics and, with more than 650 articles in prestigious international journals and two extensive monographs published abroad, a highly regarded and quoted researcher in condensed matter physics. More than 14,000 citations of his works, longer and shorter visits to renowned foreign universities, a number of invited lectures at international conferences, work in international professional organizations and partnerships in a number of international projects also show his strong reputation at the global level. With his exceptional achievements and diversified activity, Professor Blinc substantiated the experimental physics of condensed matter in Slovenia, and with his strong commitment to international openness he certainly made a key contribution to the international recognition of the entire physics of Ljubljana. As an excellent university teacher, he also educated a large number of Slovenian physicists. He completed his undergraduate studies in 1958 at the Faculty of Natural Sciences in Ljubljana and received a PhD a year later. He then started post-doc study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. When he returned to Slovenia, he continued his work at the Jožef Stefan Institute as a long-time head of the Department for Condensed Matter Physics.He became a professor at the University of Ljubljana in 1970. He was the first Dean of Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School in Ljubljana since 2004. <mask> has been a visiting professor at many international universities, winner of numerous international awards, a member of various associations and editorial boards of international professional journals. In 1991 he became the Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia in Science, and in 2000 the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) awarded Professor <mask> the award for the Slovenian scientist with the most citations during the 25-year existence of ISI. In 2001, together with his colleagues, he received the state award for patents and inventions of the Republic of Slovenia. He was a member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and served as its vice president from October 2, 1980, to May 6, 1999. He was also a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts and an honorary member of the Society of Mathematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia.He died in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Scientific career
Professor Blinc was one of the founders of uses of nuclear magnetic resonance for  investigations of phase transitions and liquid crystals. Shortly after graduating, Blinc established a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) laboratory with a few young colleagues(his first paper on the subject was published in early 1958) and was the head of the Condensed Matter Physics Department at the Jožef Stefan Institute., which became one of the most important European and global centers for research into structural transitions in regulated and partially regulated condensed matter. He is the founder of the so-called Ljubljana School of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Immediately after his employment, he published findings on the disharmony of the hydrogen bond. Among his most important scientific achievements is the model of ferroelectrics with hydrogen bonds, which some authors refer to in the literature as the Blinc-de Gennes model. The Blinc-Pincus spin network relaxation mechanism of nematic liquid crystals due to collective fluctuations of nematic order parameters is also known.Among other important achievements, special mention should be made of the detection of solitons and shapes in incommensurable crystals by nuclear magnetic resonance and the introduction of NMR methods to determine the Edwards-Anderson parameter of the glassy order in proton and deuteron glasses and relaxors. This parameter was previously considered not to be a directly measurable quantity. The result of his work is also a series of new spectroscopic methods, which, among other things, enabled the determination of the structure of amino acids and nucleic acids, as well as the cultivation of new plant species with better nutritional properties and rapid characterization of building materials. Together with Boštjan Žekš, he was the first to predict the existence of the Goldstone mode of oscillation in ferroelectric liquid crystals. He and co-workers introduced the Ising model to describe proton and deuteron glasses. Teaching and educational legacy
<mask> lectured key subjects at the undergraduate and postgraduate level at the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Science and before that at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Ljubljana, in later years at the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School. He has mentored 35 doctoral students, 25 undergraduates and 67 graduates.Rev.Letters, 4 in Nature and Science

<mask> (born 1965) is an American entrepreneur, hip hop artist, author, and activist. He was known as the "crate boy" for Jazzy Jay, who was the DJ for Afrika Bambaataa. In 2016, he publicly accused Bambaataa of sexually molesting him. Ron " Bee-Stinger" <mask> also is the service mark owner of the registered brand Hip Hop Movement. Early life

Growing up in the Castle Hill Houses in The Bronx, <mask> became a member of the Universal Zulu Nation at the age of 14. <mask> used to spend time with D.J Jazzy Jay while he recorded records in the early 1980s. <mask> states, "The best time I had in hip hop, when I was a kid was being paid after the parties, we were being paid (by Bambaataa) in White Castles Hamburgers".Music career

<mask> got his start in the music industry in 1986 when Jazzy Jay built his recording studio in the Bronx on Blondell Ave. He paid his dues by running errands for Jazzy. In 1986, Jazzy Jay teamed up with Rocky Bucano to start Strong City Records. Soon, Jazzy moved the label to Allerton Ave in the Bronx, where <mask> convinced the DJ's to play records of Strong City artists on rap radio and in rap clubs. Soon after in 1988 Strong City Records was acquired by MCA Records to become Strong City / MCA / Uni Records. There, <mask> worked on Strong City Record acts such as Busy Bee Starski, Def Duo, Ultimate Force, Ice Cream Tee, Nu Sounds, BZ2 M.C. 's, and other groups like Brand Nubian, Showbiz & A.G, Fat Joe, which all worked out of Jazzy Jay Studios.A few years later, he left Strong City Records and began working for Dick Scott Entertainment, the management company for the New Kids on The Block, Marky Mark, Boys to Men. At Dick Scott Entertainment, <mask> worked as an artist liaison for the rap group Snap!, whose single "I Got The Power" went #1 on the weekly charts in Spain, UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, as well as the Eurochart Hot 100. In 1990 the song hit #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. <mask> also handled for Dick Scott Entertainment other groups as Doug E Fresh, Ikey Cee, and Show Biz & A.G. In 1990, while working with the rap pop group Snap!, <mask> "Bee-Stinger" <mask> carved the term six elements of the hip hop movement. These six elements are: consciousness awareness, civil rights awareness, activism awareness, justice, political awareness, community awareness. While working as an artist liaison at Dick Scott Entertainment, he suffered a mild stroke from the constant stress at his job which ended his career in the music industry.<mask> states about his released single in 2018 "Hip Hop Movement Anthem": "I'm not rapping on the single, this is an arrangement of classic hip hop beats for the clubs and DJ’s to bring fun and peace back to the forefront of hip-hop." Non-profit and political work
In 2005, <mask> started a non-profit organization called United Coalition Association. Its mission is to fight juvenile delinquency and counteract negative behavior in youth. It also organizes college fairs to prepare students the entrance to college. <mask> also appeared in PSAs encouraging youth to stay away from gang activity, which aired on TV stations such as MTV and VH1. In 2008, <mask> was elected to the New York State Democratic Committee with the help of former NYS Assemblyman Peter M Rivera. <mask> was honored by the NAACP with an award in recognition of his devotion and commitment and uplifting youth in the community.<mask> is also the founder of the New York State College Fair Day. He also created a DVD called The Plan which provides information about entrance to college. In 2011 <mask> marched with Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York. "We just drew up a resolution to raise taxes on the rich," he said. "I hope it makes it to the floor. The mayor and the governor need to be more egalitarian toward the poor and the working class. This protest and protests from around the world show strength in numbers.It's global. The people are tired," he said. In 2011, Bronx Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr. did not reappoint <mask>, then a New York State Democratic Committeeman for the 76th Assembly District, to local Bronx Community Board 9 in the Soundview area of the Bronx, due to the fact that <mask> helped Charlie Ramos (a candidate for senate) in the 2011 September primary elections against Ruben Diaz Jr's father, New York state Sen. Rubén Díaz Sr. In 2016, <mask> accused Afrika Bambaataa of having molested him when <mask> was 15 in 1980. Former Hot 97 host Troi Torain aka STAR of the Star & Buc Wild Show in New York City first reported the accusation on the Shot 97 internet radio show, before it was published in the New York Daily News on April 9. The Universal Zulu Nation responded with an open-letter apology to <mask>, after three more men came forth with accounts alleging abuse by Bambaataa after <mask>'s story was published. Later that year, <mask> participated in legislative hearings in Albany organized by Assemblywoman Margaret Markey sponsoring the Child Victims Act, which was drafted to eliminate statute of limitations laws in New York State concerning child molestation allegations and allow a one-year window for alleged victims of past abuse to file a civil lawsuit.Among the people who spoke at the hearings was Queens native Ana Wagner, who was inspired to drive to the hearings and relate her own account after seeing <mask>'s photo on the front page of the New York Daily News while buying a lottery ticket at a 7-Eleven in Long Island. The bill was passed in 2019. <mask> was featured on the 2016 single "Don't Close Your Eyes" produced by Jonathan Hay, where he spoke over Bambaataa's song "Planet Rock" which was replayed in the track. <mask> speaks out about child molestation and issues a very bold challenge to the President of the United States, stating, “Children are being molested every day. I was molested by a world Hip-Hop icon,” states <mask>. “My question is to the President of the United States of America: what are you going to do about the child molestation crisis of America?”. <mask> also stated in an interview in London, "I don’t recognize the term hip hop culture because that is a term Bambaataa coined and I don’t know what his intention was when he coined the term, but what I do recognize is hip hop and I salute the rebirth of the hip hop movement".Discography

Admiral <mask>CB (1757 – 9 January 1833) was a Royal Navy officer and "Hero of the Battle of the Nile". Naval career
He was the second son of landowner <mask> of Ridgeway, the <mask> family's ancestral estate in the parish of Llawhaden near Narberth, Pembrokeshire, and the nephew of Captain <mask>, who accompanied George Anson, 1st Baron Anson, on his voyage around the world. He entered the Royal Navy in 1770, and, during his time as midshipman, saw a good deal of active service in the West Indies against American privateers. Promoted lieutenant in 1778, he served under Admiral Keppel (afterwards Viscount) and Sir Charles Hardy in the Channel, and with Rodney's squadron was present at the defeat of De Langara off Cape St Vincent in 1780, and at the relief of Gibraltar. Still under Rodney's command, he went out to the West Indies, and took his part in the operations which culminated in victory at the Battle of the Saintes on 12 April 1782. In the French Revolutionary War he was engaged from the first. As flag-captain to Admiral John Gell, and afterwards to Sir Hyde Parker, <mask> took part in the siege of Toulon in 1793, the action of Golfe Jouan in 1794, and the two fights off Toulon on 13 April and 13 July 1795.At St Vincent he was flag-captain to the second in command on Britannia. After the battle he was transferred to the Goliath (74), in which he was sent out in the following year to reinforce Nelson's fleet in the Mediterranean. The part played by the Goliath in the Battle of the Nile was brilliant. She led the squadron round the French van, and this manoeuvre contributed not a little to the result of the day. Whether this was done by <mask>'s own initiative, or intended by Horatio Nelson, has been a matter of controversy. His next important service was with Nelson in the Baltic. At the beginning of 1801, Nelson was promoted to Vice Admiral of the Blue and after a few months, he took part as the second in command in the Battle of Copenhagen.The Elephant carried Nelson's flag and <mask> acted as his chief-of-staff. During the action Nelson's commander, Sir Hyde Parker, who believed that the Danish fire was too strong, signaled for him to break off the action. Nelson ordered that the signal be acknowledged but not repeated. Legend has it that Nelson turned to his flag captain and said:

"You know, <mask>, I only have one eye - I have the right to be blind sometimes" and then holding his telescope to his blind eye said "I really do not see the signal!" Nelson's action was approved in retrospect. <mask> was one of Nelson's "Band of Brothers". Nelson himself was a sea-officer par excellence.Yet there were many who struggled, suffered and were wounded as often as he. This could not help but develop a close relationship among the men. Nelson himself was very aware of the brotherhood which had arisen. In his biography of Nelson, David Howarth makes this clear:

"...Nelson's famous phrase, "I had the happiness to command a band of brothers'...After his first great victory, Nelson called his captains 'my darling children', and none was the least embarrassed by that. Under Jervis, the captains of the Mediterranean fleet were becoming a brotherhood, bonded by skill, experience, mutual respect and a common cause. Maybe they had not thought of it in that way before; but from about this time they all did, and Nelson most of all. And the concept - so suitable to his nature - became an important, conscious element in his conduct of the war."An amusing illustration of the affection Nelson inspired in his captains, and of the half maternal care they exercised over the fragile and stunted body of their famous leader, is supplied by a letter from Nelson himself to Ball, written from Kioge Bay in 1801. He was racked with the Baltic cold, and wroth, as was common with him, with the still chillier winds which blew from the Admiralty Board:

"But," he says, "all in the fleet are so truly kind to me that I should be a wretch not to cheer up. <mask> has put me under a regimen of milk at four in the morning; Murray has given me lozenges; Hardy is as good as ever, and all have proved their desire to keep my mind easy." That picture of one sea veteran administering warm milk to his admiral at four o'clock in the morning is amusing enough; but it shows more effectively than graver things could do the feeling Nelson inspired in his captains. Ill-health obliged <mask> to decline Nelson's offer (made when on the point of starting for the Battle of Trafalgar) of the post of Captain of the Fleet. Therefore it was <mask>'s fellow "brother" <mask> who was present at Nelson's death. From 1811 to 1815, <mask> commanded in the Downs from his flagship , and at the peace was made KCB.Sir <mask> rose to be full admiral and GCB. He died while serving as Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth in 1833. Marriage
He was married on 31 Jul 1802 to Lady Lucy Anne FitzGerald. She was the youngest surviving daughter of James FitzGerald, 1st Duke of Leinster and Lady Emily Lennox. Her mother was the great-granddaughter of Charles II, King of England, Scotland and Ireland and his mistress Louise de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth. Lucy was the favourite sister of Lord Edward FitzGerald, one of the ill-fated leaders of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, and was herself an active participant in the rebellion. She worked as a conduit, clandestinely transmitting letters between the Revolutionary Committee in Dublin and their agents in Paris.A biographer of Lord Edward wrote of Lucy that she "most closely resembled him (Edward) in her strong sense of the ludicrous and her passionate love for justice." She wrote in 1798 of her hope for Irish liberation in an address to the Irish nation that wasn’t published until many years later:

Irishmen, Countrymen, it is Edward FitzGerald's sister who addresses you: it is a woman but that woman is his sister: she would therefore die for you as he did...Yes, this is the moment, the precious moment which must either stamp with Infamy, the name of Irishmen and denote you forever wretched, enslaved to the power of England, or raise the Paddies to the consequence which they deserve and which England shall no longer withhold, to happiness, freedom, glory... The couple's principal residence was <mask>'s country estate, Abermarlais, near Llansadwrn in Carmarthenshire, which he had purchased from Sir Cornwallis Maude, 1st Viscount Hawarden in 1795 with his share of the booty resulting from the capture of a Spanish treasure ship, the St Jago, in 1793. They also had a house at Manchester Square in London. After Sir <mask>' death the widowed Lady Lucy lived at Arundel in Sussex until 1841 when she moved abroad and settled in the south of France, where she spent the remainder of her life. The <mask>s had no children. After Lady Lucy's death in 1851 the Abermarlais estate passed according to the terms of Sir <mask>' will to his great-nephew <mask> (1824-1871), a grandson of Sir <mask>' elder brother John Herbert <mask>.<mask> only inherited the estate because Sir <mask>' preferred heir, <mask>, a captain in the Royal Navy, had died without issue in 1848. Abermarlais Park remained in the family until 1909, when it was sold to the Hunter family. The last known person to live in the house was the reclusive Miss Campbell-Davys, before a fire gutted the house in 1980 leading to its demolition in 1982, a terrible loss for the county on account of its long and fascinating history as well as its architectural significance, the original late-medieval manor house having been demolished in order for Admiral <mask> to build his more commodious neoclassical mansion nearby. The site of Abermarlais is now used as a caravan park. Bibliography

<mask> (born 8 October 1974) is a Jordanian paralympic athlete who has spina bifida and has won two medals at the Summer Paralympics and has been competing for Jordan internationally since 1998. She currently ranked world number one in singles class 5 and world number six in teams class. Biography
<mask> was born with spina bifida and started playing para table tennis in 1996 as a senior by her current coach Haron Shalkoni. Sporting success

Early beginnings
Her first international competition was the ISMWSF World Wheelchair Games in Stoke Mandeville in 1998, where she also won her first major title: she won two gold medals for singles class 5 and women's team class 2-5 and a silver medal for the wheelchair open competition. One year later, she competed in the Pan Arab Games in 1999 when she won another gold medal for her country in the women's singles class 5 after being defeated by fellow competitor Fatmeh Al Azzam and won her second silver medal in the wheelchair open competition. In 2002, Abuawad won a bronze medal along with Fatmeh Al Azzam and Maha Al Barghouti in the World Team Cup in Roermund, Netherlands. In the same year, she won three gold medals in all of her events, she had beaten Stephanie Mariage of France to win the three titles including the team class 1-5 event at the King Hussein Memorial Tournament in her hometown, Amman.Two years later in 2004, she took part in the T.T International Masters Italian Open where she got two silver medals after being defeated by Slovenia's Andreja Dolinar in the gold medal match of the wheelchair singles' open and Jitka Pivarciova of Czech Republic, she later took the bronze medal with Al Azzam in the women's team class 1-5. 2004 to 2008

One year later, she won a silver medal in the singles class 4 and a bronze medal in the team class 4-5 at the Liverpool Open, in the same year she went to the Romania Open and won the same coloured medals in the same classed events. By the end of 2008, Abuawad secured two gold medals in the Al Watani Championships in Amman in both singles class 1-5 and wheelchair singles open.In May 2008, she travelled to the Polish Open in Wladyslawowo-Cetniewo where she won three more gold medals in all of her three events: singles, teams and wheelchair singles open. One month later in June, she went to compete in the Romania Open in Cluj-Napoca where she won a silver medal in the singles class 5 and a bronze medal in the teams class 1-5. One year on, she went on to win two golds at the Al Watani Table Tennis Championships for the second consecutive time in her sporting career. 2010 to 2014
In 2010, she won further medals: four gold medals and a bronze medal in both the annual Al Watani Table Tennis Championships (three golds in singles, wheelchair singles open and teams all in classes 3-5) and the Slovenia Open (one gold medal in singles class 5, one bronze medal in the wheelchair singles open). Abuawad won even more medals in 2011; she won six medals where five were gold mostly in singles competitions. She successfully defended her titles once more in the Al Watani Championships for the fourth time. She won a gold medal in the singles class 5 and a bronze medal in the teams class 5 in the British Open in Sheffield in September 2011.Before the 2012 Summer Paralympics, Abuawad competed in the Slovenian Open for the second time and won two gold medals in the singles and teams competitions, both in class 5 and again, won another two gold medals in the French Open in Nantes. During 2013, she won six medals (four of which are gold) in three different locations: Abuawad won her third two sets of golds in the Al Watani Championships, another two golds at the Slovenian Open in all of her selected events, gained a silver and bronze medal in the singles and teams event in the Taichung Table Tennis Open in Taiwan. She attended two events in 2014 and winning one medal each of the singles' competitions, she won her fourth gold medal in the Al Watani Championships and got a silver medal at the Lignano Master Open in Italy. 2015 to present
Abuawad earned one gold medal in the singles event in the Slovenian Open for the third time as well as a silver medal in the teams class 5 event in 2015. She unfortunately lost her reigning title at the Al Watani Championships in the same year as Zhang Bian clinched both the singles and teams titles. She didn't win any gold medals in 2016 which was the first time since 2004, she won one silver in the singles class 5 event in the Slovakia Open and a bronze medal in the teams class 5, she also got two bronze medals in the same events in the Slovenian Open. Abuawad gained six medals in 2017, four of them gold in the singles and two silvers in the teams events.She won her two singles titles in the Alicante Open, Al-Watani Championships, Slovenian Open and the Thailand Open.

To be distinguished from <mask> (1380-1435)

<mask> ibn Shem-Tov (died 1480) was a prolific Judæo-Spanish writer born in Castile. He lived in various cities of Spain: Medina del Campo de Leon (1441); Alcalá de Henares (1451); and Segovia (1454). Though it is not known precisely what office he held at court, he occupied a position which brought him in contact with distinguished Christian scholars. According to the custom of the time, he held public disputations with them in the presence of the court; this probably led him to study the polemical literature of the Jews. In the preface to his commentary on Profiat Duran's Al-Tehi ka-Aboteka, he recounts a disputation with a Christian scholar concerning the doctrine of the Trinity. He seems to have elaborated this disputation and to have used it later in various anti-Christian writings. In 1452 he was sent by the Prince of Asturia, Don Enrique, to Segovia to prevent an outbreak of popular rage at Easter against the Jews.He speaks occasionally in his writings of great sufferings which drove him from place to place, and of passing through a severe illness. Graetz (Gesch. viii. 422) has discovered, from a quotation in <mask>'s Or ha-ayyim, that Ibn Shem-ob died a martyr. The year of his passing was 1480. Ibn Shem-ob's numerous writings, a list of which was compiled by Munk and supplemented by Beer and Steinschneider, are divisible into (a) independent works and (b) commentaries. Original works
Hanhagat ha-Bayit, treatise on economics, written in his youth (see his En ha-ore); nothing further is known concerning it.According to Steinschneider, it may be a revision of Aristotle's Economics. En ha-ore, the only medieval scientific Hebrew homiletical work extant. The book is very rich in quotations from both Christian and Islamic authors. It treats systematically of the science of homiletics, defines the limitations of exegesis, and expresses itself in regard to the fundamental aim of Jewish preaching. It contains frequent references to Aristotle's Ethics, Ibn Shem-Ṭob's favorite work. Kebod Elohim, on the summum bonum and the aim of life; written in 1442, printed at Ferrara in 1555. Da'at 'Elyon, a refutation of a fatalistic writing of the baptized Jew Abner of Burgos (Wolf, Bibl.Hebr. iii.428; the Oppenheim MS. cited by Wolf is no longer to be found in the collection at Oxford). Commentaries
Commentary on Jedaiah ha-Penini's Beinat 'Olam. Commentary on his father's Sefer ha-Yesodot, known only through a citation in En ha-ore. Just as Sefer ha-Yesodot is, probably, only another title of his father's Sefer ha-Emunot, so is this commentary, according to Steinschneider, probably identical with the Sefer Kebod Elohim. Commentary on the anti-Christian letter of Profiat Duran, Al-Tehi ka-Aboteka, edited and printed together for the first time at Constantinople, 1577; reprinted, by A. Geiger in obez Wikkuim, Breslau, 1844. Biul 'Iere ha-Noerim, a Hebrew translation of and commentary on Hasdai Crescas' refutation, in Spanish, of the chief dogmas of Christianity. It was written at Alcala di Henares in 1451, and published anonymously at Salonica (?)in 1860. The original work by Crescas and its title have been lost (Steinschneider, Hebr. Uebers. p. 462). These last two commentaries were in accord with the anti-Christian polemical spirit prevailing in the Jewish religio-philosophic literature of the time. Commentary on Lamentations, written at Medina del Campo in 1441, after the author had recovered from an illness (Parma, De Rossi MSS. No.177). Commentary on the Isagoge of Porphyry, after Averroes, of which no manuscript has yet been found (see Steinschneider, Cat. der Hebr. Handschriften in der Stadtbibliothek zu Hamburg, p. 106; idem, Hebr. Uebers. p. 86). Commentary on Averroes' treatise on the possibility of union with the active intellect (Sekel ha-Po'el), after Moses Narboni's translation, with a long introduction (Steinschneider, Cat.der Hebr. Handschriften Berlin, No. 216; Zotenberg, l.c. No. 885). Ibn Shem-Ṭob made a short extract from this voluminous commentary, which he finished at Segovia in 1454 (Neubauer, Cat. Bodl.Hebr. MSS. No. 1253; see Steinschneider in Monatsschrift, xxxii. 459 et seq. ; idem, Hebr. Uebers.pp. 194 et seq.). Commentary on part of Averroes' "large commentary" on the De Anima of Aristotle, cited in Ibn Shem-ob's commentary on Aristotle's Ethics (Steinschneider, l.c. p. 150). Short commentary on Maimonides' Moreh, ii.68, cited in his son's commentary on the same work. Nothing further concerning it is known. Commentary on the Sidra Bereshit, cited by him in the En ha-ore, and a commentary on Deut.xv. 11, cited in his commentary on the Nicomachcan Ethics (according to Steinschneider these two may be only sermons). Commentary, containing minute and diffuse explanations of words and subject-matter, on the Hebrew translation of the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle (Sefer ha-Middot). Finished at Segovia in 1455, this was probably the last and most extensive of his works; he worked upon it for one hundred days continuously in order that no interruption might hinder him from an understanding of the text. The commentary exists in many manuscripts and was widely circulated in the Middle Ages. It has been made use of in Isaac Satanow's edition of the Sefer ha-Middot (Berlin, 1784; Steinschneider, l.c. pp.212 et seq.). Ethical views
The Kebod Elohim is <mask>'s chief work. His leading ideas and principles, scattered throughout his other writings, are here brought together. In it he compares the ethical opinions of the Greeks, especially of Aristotle, with those of Judaism, a thing which had not before been earnestly or thoroughly done. For this purpose he gives many extracts ("peraim") from the Ethics of Aristotle, and translates chapters ix. and x., though from a Latin version. In answer to the question as to man's summum bonum he concludes it to be the Torah, which teaches and promises immortality, whereas the Greeks only speculate as to man's final goal.That the Torah and the philosophy of the Greeks have one and the same end, as some maintain, he denies, declaring the claim to be incompatible with the essence of positive religion; the Torah ordains the fulfilment of the 613 commandments, not the ethical teachings of Aristotle. Speculation within the bounds of the Torah is permitted, even commanded; and its province should be "the secret meanings of the Torah and of its rules, and the teachings of the Prophets." By this he probably indicates kabalistic dogmas. The divine commands are reasonable, although explanations based on reason, without the help of tradition often fail to explain the foundations of the commands. Characterization
<mask> Shem-ob was one of the most learned writers of his time. His knowledge of science and philosophy was intimate, and he had a very thorough acquaintance with Aristotle, his chief commentator Averroes, and the prominent Jewish, Muslim, and Christian writers. At the same time he was an independent and outspoken critic.He not only passed judgment upon Christianity and Islam, but he criticized Maimonides, with whose fundamental ideas he was not in sympathy, and maintained that the claim made by the cabalists that Shimon bar Yochai was the author of the Zohar was baseless. Nevertheless, in a discussion as to the proofs of the unity of God, he prefers the arguments of the kabalists to those of the philosophers. His attitude might be termed "positive Jewish," with a remarkable mixture of rationalism and dogmatism. He would allow no obscurity or confusion of ideas, and emphatically asserted that religion and philosophy are not identical in their final aim: "The Aristotelian laws make men; Jewish laws make Jews." In the strife then raging over the study of rationalistic sciences Ibn Shem-Ṭob took the following position: The Jew in possession of the divine revelation could dispense with the sciences, although their study was useful to him, since they perfected him as a human being; but their study should be deferred to an advanced age. In this he agreed with Solomon ben Adret. He thought it was the "sophistry" of "Greek wisdom," in which speculative knowledge was the chief end of life, which made materialists of so many prominent Jews, causing their defection from Judaism and the extinction of whole communities in Aragon and Castile.In other districts, he said, not affected by this spirit, there were thousands of Jews who would rather be killed than surrender their faith.

<mask> (8 February 1902 - 31 January 1935) was a young Communist politician who after 1933 became a German anti-government resistance activists. She died - some sources state simply that she was murdered - following several days of questioning and torture at the police facility in the Hallmarkt district of central Halle. Life
<mask> "Lene" <mask> was born into a working-class family in Weinböhla, a small town that had grown prosperous thanks to its limestone extraction operations. Weinböhla is located on the edge of Meissen, a short distance to the north-west of Dresden. Her parents became members of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in 1905, some years before, in the eyes of the political establishment of that time, the young party became mainstream. After her father's early death her mother was left to bring up two daughters as a single parent. Money was short.Helene was still young when they moved to Berlin where in 1908 she enrolled at a "Volksschule" (state backed compulsory secondary school). By the time she successfully completed her school career, in 1916, the family had moved back to Weinböhla. She moved on to study at a business oriented secondary sachool ("Handelsschule") in nearby Coswig, and then took office work with a succession of businesses in Dresden. By this time she had become the principal bread-winner for herself, her mother and her younger sister. Glatzer was still only 14 in 1916 shen she joined the young socialists ("Freie sozialistische Jugend" / FSJ). Serious internal divisions within the SPD had emerged at the start of the war when the party leadership agreed to back war funding with their votes in the Reichstag (national parliament). Division was intensified by the slaughter of war abroad and economic austerity on the home front, which led to the launch, formally in 1917, of a breakaway anti-war Independent Social Democratic Party (" Unabhängige Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands" / USPD).Glatzer joined the Weinböhla branch of the USPD in 1919, also joining the local branch of the FSJ. Over the next couple of tumultuous years the FSJ became part of the newly formed Young Communist League (KJVD) of which she now also became a member. Around 1921, now aged 19, she became seriously politically active through her work with the KJVD in her part of East Saxony. There was a particular focus, in which she played a leading part, on recruitment of new members and the creation of new "communist children's groups" locally. She became a representative of her locality with the KJVD regional leadership team ("Bezirksleitung") for East Saxony. In 1922 Glatzer took part in the creation of a "communist children's group". After that, by now aged twenty, she joined the party.Over the next few years she teamed up with Olga Körner to organise the creation and provide leadership for an East Saxony branch of the RFMB, a female counterpart of the newly launched network, Red Front Alliance ("Roter Frontkämpferbund") of pro-communist paramilitaries. According to one source the East Saxony RFMB was "the first proletarian women's organisation in Germany". Glatzer was also employed in the  "Women's section" of the party's regional leadership team. In 1923 it was primarily due to <mask> Glatzer that the first Conference of the Communist Children's Group in East Saxony took place. She engaged with several other organisation including workers' sports associations and Red Aid ("Rote Hilfe"), a workers' welfare organisation with close links to  the party. In 1929 <mask> <mask> took part as a delegate at the party's national conference, held that year in Berlin-Wedding and in the national congress of the RFMB. On 12 May 1929 she was elected to membership of the Saxon state parliament ("Landtag"), but she remained a member only till the next state election, held on 22 June 1930.Issues on which she focused her attention included equal rights for proletarian women, improved training and conditions for apprentices along with various social concerns highlighted by midwives. It nevertheless became clear that  the party had other plans for Glatzer. In 1930 she was sent to Moscow where she undertook a three-year period of study at the International Lenin School. The institution was operated at this time by the Comintern and it was also with the Comintern that she worked while in Moscow. Around this time she married Max Tschalewitschow, a physician. Sources differ as to whether it was in 1934 or early in 1935 that <mask> <mask> returned to Germany. (There is no mention in the sources of her having been accompanied by her new husband.)The Hitler government had taken power at the start of 1933 and almost immediately taken steps to transform Germany into a one-party dictatorship. <mask>'s political activity on her return as a member of the "underground" Communist Party leadership team ("Bezirksleitung") in Halle-Merseburg was therefore by definition illegal:  one cover name under which she operated was "Erna Schneider". It appears likely that the Communist group to which <mask> Glatzer belonged had been infiltrated by an informant working for the security services. On 26 January 1935 she took part in an illegal meeting at a "safe house" along Thüringerstraße 26 in Halle. The authorities became aware of the meeting and the participants were surprised by the arrival of Gestapo officials. Glatzer was arrested along with the others present:  Wilhelm Künzler, Albert Kayser and the owner of the apartment, Hans Lehnert. Grounds for the arrests were "treasonable communication" ("hochverräterische Beratung").The detainees were initially taken to the police station in the Merseburgerstraße where their personal details were logged. Then they were then taken to the police facility in the city's Hallmarkt district for investigatory detention, which involved several days of questioning and torture. <mask> Glatzer succumbed to the mistreatment and died - effectively murdered - on 31 January 1935. Her physical remains were buried in Halle on 6 February 1935. References

<mask> (born 8 June 1961) is a British-Bosnian film director, screenwriter and author best known for his feature film Beautiful People and his World War Two thriller Chosen. <mask> also published a book on cinema, which achieved a high volume of sales, with over 50,000 copies sold. His distinctive filmmaking signature includes unflaggingly inventive uses of montage, sound and music where coincidences are often both funny and horrific, iconoclastic dry wit humor and imaginative rich storytelling. Dizdar’s kinetics awaken and reveal our fundamental need for love whilst drawing our attention to what separates us: language barriers, prejudice, dogmatism, and above all, a collective obtuseness and indifference towards one another. Early life

<mask> was born and grew up in his Bosnian hometown of Zenica, where his gift for creative writing was spotted early on by primary school teacher of literature. With her guidance and encouragement, he sent his short story “History Hour” to a regional competition and won his first award for the best short story. When he was 12, Dizdar’s love affair with movies had begun, and he soon became a prolific cinema-goer.There were four theaters in Zenica, and Dizdar used an intricate system to get into them for free: he made facsimiles of movie tickets by scavenging for stubs in rubbish bins, then collecting the other halves from patrons as they came out of theaters. Gluing torn bits together and re-using them as fake cinema tickets enabled him to see the same film several times for free, particularly multiple showings of such Westerns as Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West. Because Dizdar was so tall for his age (he is now 6 foot 6), he managed to see Bernardo Bertolucci's film Last Tango in Paris, despite its 18 rated certificate. During his time at secondary school, he was an actor in the Bosnian theatre play Hanka, based on the novel by Isak Samokovlija as well as being adapted for the 1955 film Hanka directed by Yugoslav film director Slavko Vorkapić. The play premiered in Zenica's Old National Theatre. As a teenager <mask> <mask> joined a local film club where he wrote, edited and directed numerous short documentary, drama and experimental films and began to take interest in film theory, particularly Russian structuralist film theory. His last Bosnian film Butterfly Dance (featuring an ensemble cast from Zenica's National Theatre) got him into the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Czech Republic.Career

<mask> <mask> studied film directing at the Prague film school FAMU. There he became known for his daring satirical humour often casting ordinary people, Czech actors and filmmakers who were not favoured with the communist regime. Legendary Czech film director Elmar Klos (Academy Award winner for the film The Shop on Main Street) gave Grand Jury prize to Dizdar's graduation film After Silence. This student film is preserved as a national treasure in the Czech national film archive. During his film studies <mask> <mask> wrote, what is today regarded as daringly unique piece of film theory about his fellow FAMU alumni – double-Oscar-winning Czech-American film director Miloš Forman. This is regarded as a very rare type of analytical film theory written by a foreign-film student whilst studying in the totalitarian communist regime about an officially banned film director, who was often regarded as an “enemy of the state”, during the time. His friendship with internationally acclaimed Czech cinematographer Miroslav Ondricek and Czech film critic Eva Zaoralova led to the publishing of <mask>’s book about Forman, Audition for a Director.This book is remembered as a unique in-depth analysis of a legendary filmmaker. The book was published in a record number of fifty thousand copies. After graduating from university with a Red Diploma (i.e. highest honours) <mask> lived briefly in France before settling in United Kingdom where he wrote number of screenplays for BBC Television and a radio play for BBC Radio 4. Beautiful People is award-winning and critically acclaimed feature film written and directed by <mask> <mask>. Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport paid official visit to Cannes Film Festival world premier of Beautiful People where the film received a ten-minute standing ovation. The film won an award for the best film in Un Certain Regard category at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, an audience award "Gold Gryphon" at Saint-Petersburg International Festival of Festivals, and many other international awards.<mask> <mask> became the second Bosnian filmmaker (after Emir Kusturica) to win a major award at the Cannes Film Festival and the first and only Bosnian filmmaker born and raised in Zenica, to achieve such a prestige international recognition. Based on its success at Cannes, distributors in over 30 countries purchased the rights to Beautiful People, making it an international sensation. <mask> is loath to label the film a comedy or anything else. He says that Beautiful People embraces every emotion, which is why people all around the world have embraced it. After Beautiful People was screened for several weeks in the world’s capitals, alongside Stanley Kubrick’s film Eyes Wide Shut, Robert Altman’s Cookie's Fortune and Pedro Almodóvar’s Oscar-winning All About My Mother, <mask> exclaimed during an interview with his friend, world-music renowned BBC Radio London DJ, Charlie Gillett: “Film directors like Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman and Pedro Almodóvar standing shoulder to shoulder with me in London, New York, Paris and Tokyo makes my teenage dream come true. If a car were to hit me now, I’d die a happy man.”

Beautiful People, like <mask> <mask>'s other films, is a satire. <mask> <mask>'s satire could be described as a seraphic-smile sardonicism which combines everyday and imaginative realism with a musical and playful irony.The New York Times film critic A. O. Scott describes <mask> <mask> as a filmmaker: "At once sarcastic and entirely sincere, he directs with an extraordinary exuberance and self-confidence, intelligence and grace, with a style that combines realism with a playful, improvisatory sense of formal possibility. <mask> Dizdar's camera hurtles through the scenes like a child in a toy store, grabbing at every detail as though it were a shiny, precious prize, acknowledging both the fundamental ridiculousness of the war and its inassimilable horror." Following Beautiful People, <mask> <mask> wrote and directed a segment for the French feature film Les Europeens (2006) based on a burning social topic of refugees finding a various ingenious ways to enter Europe. <mask> <mask>'s segment is about an African refugee who tries to smuggle himself into Europe by stowing away in the landing-gear bay of a passenger plan that departs from North Africa. When the landing-gear bay opens as the plane makes its descent, he tumbles out from a few thousand feet over Rome and falls on the car-roof of a middle-class religious woman who begins to believe that the refugee is a gift from God. <mask> <mask>’s next feature film Chosen (2016) starring Harvey Keitel, Ana Ularu and Luke Mably is a moving drama of love, courage and survival against all odds. Set during the Second World War, the film tells the extraordinary story of a young lawyer who uses a clever ploy to fight the Nazis to save thousands of lives.Harvey Keitel plays the lawyer in present-day New York, USA. Personal life

As a young adolescent <mask> <mask> discovered that Nazis killed his paternal grandparents during the Second World War. A post-war orphanage changed his father's original surname from Dizdar to Dizdarević (most of former Yugoslavs surnames end with "ić"). After thirty years of living under surname Dizdarević, he took back his grandfather’s original surname Dizdar. <mask> <mask> currently lives in the UK, London, since 1989, and is a British citizen since 1993. He has a daughter who is also a filmmaker and visual artist.
