<mask> (June 14, 1956 – January 16, 2021) was an American journalist who was the senior science writer for Stat, a publication from The Boston Globe that covers stories related to the life sciences. She regularly contributed articles to the Yale Scientific Magazine while at University. She published recurring columns and feature articles in several mainstream publications on a wide variety of scientific topics. <mask> was also an author and spoke at professional and community organizations. Her topics included the neuroplasticity of the brain, issues affecting science journalism, and education. She appeared on radio and television to discuss topics covered in her articles and books. <mask> attracted both praise and criticism as a writer.Early life
<mask> was born <mask> <mask>, on June 14, 1956 in Englewood, New Jersey, to Shirley (née Wintner) and John J<mask> Jr. Her father was a stockbroker while her mother was a homemaker. She grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, where she graduated from high school as a valedictorian. She graduated from Yale University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in combined sciences. Career
<mask> started her career as a journalist during her undergraduate studies, where she was a contributing reporter for Yale Scientific Magazine. She began work with Newsweek upon graduation in 1977, and by October 1984 she had already been named as a recipient of The Newspaper Guild of New York's Page One Award in the category of science reporting in magazines for the Newsweek article "How the Brain Works". <mask>'s tenure with Newsweek established her as a well-known science communicator.She received accolades from the Religion Communicators Council for the 1998 article "Science Finds God". Her 2002 article "The Mystery of Schizophrenia" received honors from the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Other awards have cited her clarity of communication and the accessibility of her articles in furthering the public's understanding of science. In March 2002, after 25 years at Newsweek, <mask> joined The Wall Street Journal to write its weekly science column called Science Journal. Only three months later, "So Much for Destiny: Even Thoughts Can Turn Genes `On' and `Off", earned <mask> a Front Page Award for Best Column/Editorial from the Newswomen's Club of New York. More awards followed for her reporting on a wide variety of topics related to scientific research, including an honorary doctorate of humane letters degree from the University of North Carolina. In 2007, <mask> returned to writing an award-winning science column at Newsweek.In 2010 Newsweek formed an alliance with The Daily Beast, and <mask>'s byline often appeared on this site as well. From 2012 until 2015 she worked as senior health and science editor at Reuters. In August 2015, the first article appeared under the masthead of the Boston Globe's new science publication Stat with <mask> as a member of the inaugural staff. Books
In 2002 the book The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force, <mask> and Jeffrey M. Schwartz explained the results of Schwartz's research into the origin and treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. Here, Schwartz explores the subject of the neuroplasticity of the brain and expands upon the idea of "brain lock", a term he introduced in his 1997 book Brain Lock: Free Yourself from Obsessive-Compulsive Behavior. Featuring a foreword written by Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama and a preface by Daniel Goleman, Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves was published in 2007. This book begins with a description of the visit by scientists from the Mind and Life Institute to the northern Indian town of McLeod Ganj—the home of the 14th Dalai Lama in exile.The book then explores the ability of various therapeutic treatments to change the functioning of the neural pathways of the brain and the relationship between this research and the traditional meditative practices of Buddhism. In 2012 <mask> again served as a co-author, this time with Richard Davidson, for The Emotional Life of Your Brain: How its Unique Patterns Affect the Way You Think, Feel, and Live — and How You Can Change Them. The premise of this book is that each person has an individual "Emotional Style". Davidson uses six parameters to determine this Emotional Style: Resilience, Outlook, Social Intuition, Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to Context, and Attention. Criticism
"Why Doctors Hate Science", published in Newsweek in 2009, prompted many critical responses. David Gorski, writing under his pen name "Orac", took issue with <mask>'s characterization of medical practitioners as ignoring basic medical science. One example used by <mask> was that of women continuing to receive pap tests after having had total hysterectomies.Gorski looked into this claim, and found that the subject of <mask>'s source for this claim was full hysterectomies and hysterectomies for benign conditions of the uterus. Ongoing Pap smears are still indicated for women who have had partial hysterectomies, or who have suffered uterine cancer. "<mask> may indeed have a point that too many pap smears are still done after hysterectomy, by simplifying and mocking she completely undermined her point–not to mention showed that she doesn't understand the issues involved. Either that, or she does understand them but decided to score cheap points against physicians instead of adding three words after "hysterectomy": "for benign disease." ... At the very least, <mask> should have acknowledged that her blanket statement is more than a bit over-the-top." This and similar criticism from other defenders of the medical community prompted <mask> to write a follow-up article entitled "Why Psychologists Reject Science", in which she referred to the previous article as one in which she was "asking, facetiously" why doctors hated science, but then went on to explain that, "The problem is even worse in psychology." This prompted a fresh wave of criticism, such as that expressed by Leslie Becker-Phelps in Psychology Today when she referred to <mask>'s article as "alarmingly misleading".Becker-Phelps stressed the intense educational requirements of the field and stated that, "the APA mandates that its member psychologists use their scientific knowledge in their clinical judgments." When <mask>'s article "Placebo Power" appeared in the January/February 2013 issue of the Saturday Evening Post highlighting the perceived power of the placebo effect, it raised criticisms from science writers and skeptics. Skeptical blogger and science writer PZ Myers said of "Placebo Power", "She's got a tendency to go charging off into fluff and that's what's happened here." Myers' objection largely rested on <mask>'s reliance on anecdotal evidence to bolster claims of the efficacy of placebo treatments. Similar objections were raised by Steven Novella. "Those skeptics that <mask> seems to dismiss have done the hard work for her and other journalists of actually reading the original research, digging down to the salient details, and teasing out the nuances that make all the difference to a proper interpretation of a complex clinical issue." Other articles by <mask> have attracted criticism from the political arena.The cover of the August 13, 2007 issue of Newsweek bore the large-print words: "Global Warming is a Hoax*", with the asterisk pointing to the smaller-print words: "*or so claim well-funded naysayers who still reject the overwhelming evidence of climate change." Anthropogenic climate change skeptic Marc Morano, former communications director for Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, referred to the article as a  "one-sided editorial, masquerading as a 'news article.'" This and other articles on the subject of climate change by <mask> were cited in a press release by Morano as part of the reason for launching Climate Depot—a website devoted to denying the scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change. Criticism of the August 13, 2007 article also came from fellow Newsweek columnist Robert Samuelson. In a column that appeared in the next issue, Samuelson characterized the article as "'fundamentally misleading' because it focused on the 'peripheral' actions of the 'denial machine' instead of the intractability of man-made warming". Her husband was a scientist with Consumers Union. She died on January 16, 2021 from lung cancer.References

<mask> (November 7, 1894—June 9, 1957) was an American poet, sometimes described as the "poet laureate of Hawaii." He was also a journalist, cartoonist, author and speaker. Early life
<mask> was born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. He later grew up alongside Lucille "Billie" Cassin (later known as Joan Crawford), later assisting her after she cut her foot on a broken milk bottle. <mask> would later make this incident the focus of a poem he wrote when the two met years later. He trained between 1913 and 1915 at the Art Institute of Chicago. He enlisted (for a year, or the duration of World War I plus up to six months) in the Canadian Army's 97th ("American Legion") Battalion.He then  trained with them for trench warfare for eight months in 1916, but left under unknown circumstances a few days before the unit shipped out for Europe. Blanding would omit reference to that service and training a year later when joining the U.S. military. Poetry career
<mask> became fascinated by Hawaii and moved there in 1915, staying until his enlistment in the U.S. Army in December, 1917. Entering as an infantry private, he underwent officer training and was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant before being discharged in December, 1918, soon after the Armistice. Blanding pursued further art studies in 1920, in Paris and London, traveled in Central America and the Yucatan, and returned to Honolulu in 1921. Finding work as an artist in an advertising agency, he happened into two years of writing poems published daily in the Honolulu Star Bulletin for an advertiser. These featured local people and events, and became well-known and popular – whether because of or in spite of always mentioning the Aji-No-Moto brand of MSG.The popularity of these ad-poems led Blanding to follow the advice of newspaper colleagues by publishing a collection of his poetry in 1923. When his privately published 2000 copies quickly sold out, he followed it with a commercially published edition the same year, and with additional verse and prose books. For his fifth book in 1928, he no longer used a local or West Coast publisher, but the New York publisher Dodd, Mead & Company. The result, Vagabond's House, was reviewed promptly by The New York Times, and was a great commercial success. By 1948 it went through nearly fifty printings in several editions that together sold over 150,000 copies. In 1927, he suggested and founded the annual holiday, Lei Day, in Hawaii. While he remained strongly attached to Hawaii, his connections to the world of celebrities drew him often to the mainland, and his income made hotel life and multiple residences feasible.Blanding married the socialite, Dorothy Binney Putnam, on June 13, 1940, and they lived together in Fort Pierce, Florida. Blanding was strongly affected by U.S. entry into World War II, including the knowledge of his island paradise as a military target, the reactions of those he met on his lecture tours, and the fall of Bataan. Bataan surrendered April 9, 1942, while he was on tour, and he wrote "Bataan Falls", 16 emotional lines in response. On April 25, he enlisted as a private at the age of 47. He served eleven months in the 1208th Service Corps Unit, Infantry, and was discharged as a corporal. He divorced in June 1947, leaving no descendants. <mask> died of a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles on June 9, 1957, at the age of 62."Vagabond's House"
He published his long poem "Vagabond's House" several times. (It was in the first, private, printing of Leaves from a Grass-House in 1923; the commercially published edition of the same book, later that year, included it with the title changed to "Aloha House". In 1928 he restored the original "Vagabond's House" title, making it the title poem of another collection.) Its detailed fantasy begins
 When I have a house – as I sometime may –
 I'll suit my fancy in every way. then describes a home filled with the mostly exotic mementos its poet collected in years of wandering the world's seaports – or at least might have collected if his travels had not interfered – and closes by admitting
 It's just a dream house anyway. Blanding as an artist

Blanding's paintings often portray undersea views, flowers and branches. Underwater Scene, from c. 1927–30, demonstrates his use of sharp outlines and lack of shading.His ink drawings are a powerful part of his many literary publications. From 1938 to 1942, <mask> designed Hawaiian themed tableware for Vernon Kilns, near Los Angeles, California. The patterns he designed are Aquarium, Coral Reef, Delight, Ecstasy, Glamour, Hawaii, Hawaiian Flowers, Hilo, Honolulu, and Lei Lani. Bibliography

<mask> (died January 10, 1926) was a Canadian minor league baseball player, manager, and promoter who played on a number of Ontario and Michigan teams between 1898 and 1915. Known best by his nickname "Rube," he was born in Amherstburg, Ontario, about 20 miles downriver from Windsor, and died in 1926 at the age of 47. He was remarkably popular with fans in his day, and newspaper reports routinely refer to the teams he was on as "<mask>'s Boys," "the <mask>ites," and (projecting his large build onto the entire team) "<mask>'s huskies." <mask> was primarily a pitcher but he also did well as a position player. His lifetime batting average (based on professional league games only) was .275 over ten seasons, 780 games, and 2918 at-bats. Of his 803 hits, 98 were doubles, 16 triples, and 22 home runs. Slugging percentage: .241.On-base percentage: .275. Early Career in Windsor, 1898-1905

As early as 1898, the right-hander's play with local teams began to attract the attention of scouts. Professional offers started rolling in by 1901 from teams such as Detroit, Philadelphia, and Buffalo, but for several years he turned them all down, preferring to work in Windsor as a diver. By 1902 <mask> was pitcher-manager of the Windsors baseball team, of Windsor, Ontario. In 1903, the team won 19 of the 23 games it played against semi-professional teams all over Western Ontario and Michigan. In that same year he added to his fame when he recovered the body of a small boy who had drowned in the Detroit River; previous efforts to drag the river for the child had been unsuccessful. In 1904 he was on the Detroit Tigers payroll as a "try-out" but did not make the roster.He did get at least one paid gig with the Merrill, Michigan, team, which was in the habit of salting the line-up with professionals. After the regular season, <mask> found ways to keep playing baseball. In October he played for the amateur Crickets of Windsor's neighboring community Walkerville, and in December he helped set up an indoor baseball league for the 21st Essex Fusiliers, the forerunner of the Essex Scottish Regiment, with a team for each of the eight companies comprised by the regiment. Rube also managed, coached, and captained a regimental team, drawn from the best of the eight companies. In the 1905 season <mask> played for three different teams. In March he re-signed with the Windsors,  who the Detroit Free Press said had been the "terror" of the region for the past two years with <mask> as their "star twirler and manager." He also played for Saginaw against other Michigan teams; the Detroit Free Press reported him pitching for that team on June 21 (losing 3-2 before 300 fans) and for Norris, the winningest team in the City League, on Sept. 18 and Oct. 4 (winning the latter 3-0, attendance 175).In December, <mask> was back to work on indoor baseball. The Free Press reported there was "a split" in the Fusiliers team and that <mask> was thinking of putting together an independent indoor team to participate in the new indoor league being planned in Detroit. Jackson Convicts, 1906
In 1906 <mask> left Windsor for the Jackson, Michigan, team in the Southern Michigan League — as a pitcher and for part of the season as manager. Newly formed this year by <mask> and others, Southern Michigan was a Class D league under a classification system that ran from D up to AAA. Rube played 82 games for Jackson, with a batting average of 281. Notwithstanding his Jackson perch, <mask> pitched the last three innings for Windsor's opening game in Williams Park against the Detroit Magnolias. (He gave up no runs and struck out two.Windsor won, 10-2, even with 10 runners left on base. Attendance was 800.) <mask> also returned to Windsor on May 13, this time pitching a complete game for Jackson against his old team with 8 strikeouts. He also ran home on a third-baseman's error in the sixth inning and drove in the two winning runs with a triple in the ninth. Jackson took the game 7-6 in front of a crowd 400. A bad shoulder hindered <mask>'s pitching in the first half of the season, but he improved in the second. In the season finale he pitched a complete game for Jackson against Saginaw, winning 7 to 2 before 1200 fans.The very next day the Free Press announced that he had signed with the Pontiac team to play the remainder of its season. Springfield Senators, 1907
At the end of 1906, <mask> signed for the following season with the Springfield (Illinois) Senators of the Class B Illinois–Indiana–Iowa League (often called "The 3-I League") "at one of the best salaries paid a pitcher in the organization." <mask> kept up his baseball even in the dead of winter, appearing in a baseball game on ice at a Detroit skating rink in February 1907. In March the Springfield Senators were negotiating with the Detroit Tigers to acquire Henry Steiger, a left-handed pitcher to complement <mask> the rightie. But by April he had a serious problem with his pitching arm, possibly related to last year's bad shoulder. He wrote to the Free Press early in the month that it had "swelled to twice its size" and could remain a problem through the first half of the season. Battle Creek Crickets, 1907-1908
By May 1907, <mask> was playing not with Springfield but with the Battle Creek Crickets of the Southern Michigan League, "playing any old place from catcher to first, second, third, or short."Baseball-Reference.Com's records for the Southern Michigan League list James Henderson as the manager, but <mask> must have been at least the captain: at season's end the Free Press was referring to the Crickets as "the Deneauites," noting that Battle Creek had <mask> on reserve for 1908. One blot on the Battle Creek season was the suspension of shortstop Curly Henderson on suspicion of throwing the game with a wild throw to <mask> at first. Henderson, who claimed that the ball went only a foot above <mask>'s head and should have been caught, vowed never to return to Battle Creek. For the season at Battle Creek, the Free Press reported <mask>'s batting average as .275 with a fielding percentage of .976. But Baseball-Reference.Com says his batting average this year was .250, .352 slugging. The Crickets played a number of exhibition games; if the Free Press was counting those in its calculations that might explain the discrepancy. As a pitcher Rube had 15 games, won 9, lost 3.The team placed third (of 8) in the league, with an average of .563. On April 26, 1908, Battle Creek's Crickets played their first exhibition game against the Battle Creek Independents. Rube <mask> was the manager of the Crickets and had 12 players on board, including Curly Henderson, who must have had a change of heart. <mask> did not pitch this first game, but in June he was reported as the losing pitcher in a Free Press article on a game between the Crickets and Flint. As a player, <mask> earned a .288 batting average over 124 games. He pitched 19 games, winning 6 and losing 8. The team placed only 6th in the 9-team league, with an average of .496.The Windsors, 1909
In February 1909 <mask> met with other baseball people in Michigan and Ontario about forming a Border League to comprise Windsor, Pontiac, Port Huron, Monroe, Mt. Clemens, and possibly Chatham. <mask> would play for Windsor if he could get out of his Battle Creek contract. Windsor had just built a new park that the team could use (it was named "Wigle Park" later in the year), and most of the other cities had good facilities. On Feb. 26, <mask> organized a public gathering at Windsor's Crawford House to drum up support for the league. But in April the Windsor Evening Record was reporting that "chances are not bright for the Border league." Without league membership, the Windsor team would play as amateurs.With or without league membership it would be led by <mask> as manager. On May 24, Windsor inaugurated the new park with a game against "semi-professional" Mt. Clemens (which was no longer in the Southern Michigan League), winning 6-5 in the bottom of the 9th. <mask> played first base and had two hits, one a double. In the early method of box scoring used by the newspapers of the day he was credited with 7 "outs"—apparently the catcher or first baseman was credited with the out that follows the third strike. June 16 was Deneau Day at Wigle Park. Over 1200 fans bought tickets for a game between Windsor and the Good Lucks from Detroit, all the proceeds to go to Rube <mask>, "who is very popular in this city."Four days later with <mask> on first the team beat the Detroit Spaldings 4-0 at home, attendance 187. On July 10 <mask> pitched the second game of a series against the Old Athletics, allowing no runs after the first inning and winning the game 4-2. By July 17 his arm and his team were stronger than ever in a 19-5 rout of Detroit's Woodmere club before 314 fans. <mask> was credited with a triple. He and a player named Delaney alternated pitching and first-base duties. On July 22 a scheduled game against the Detroit Athletic Club was cancelled because "the majority of <mask>'s men are busy at the race track this week and are unable to get away to play ball." On the 28th they were drubbed by Detroit's Cass team, with Delaney and the hitless <mask> again alternating at first base and the pitcher's mound.On the 31st, they beat Detroit Business Institute 2-1, attendance 225. <mask> managed but did not play. On August 5, 4000 fans came out for a day of athletic competitions that culminated with Rube pitching a complete game against Chatham, striking out four batters and scoring two runs himself. Windsor won, 8-3. The team beat Chatham again on the morning of the 18th in a tournament at Leamington before 950 fans, with <mask> at shortstop. In the afternoon the "bulky leader" of the team was on the mound against the Detroit Athletic Club, which was beaten 8-5. <mask> struck out four and scored one of the runs.In late August and early September, <mask> seems to have been on some kind of leave. A game scheduled for the 24th against the Detroit Athletic Club was canceled because he "finds it necessary to be out of town part of this week." Then on Sept. 12 a company team from Detroit came to Windsor "for the purpose of taking a look at Rube <mask>'s slants," but he was not with the team for that game either. On the 21st the sports page of the Free Press carried a message: "Rube <mask> is requested to call Manager Batchelor, of the D. A. C. [Detroit Athletic Club], this evening after 7 o'clock at Main 6200." <mask>'s absences may have been due to his extracurricular (and presumably paid) work with the Saginaw Wa-was, who ended in first place in the Southern Michigan League that year. While at Saginaw he registered 24 hits on 89 at-bats for a .270 batting average. At the end of the year Saginaw businessmen took up a Christmas collection for 17 members of the team.Rube was one of them and received a check for $16.70,

 which at the time would have been enough to buy a new suit or overcoat. Bay City, 1910
In 1910 <mask> played in the Southern Michigan League for Bay City, Michigan. Hosting the Lansing Senators on August 30 he ended a 16-inning standoff in the first game by stealing home and later scored the winning (and only) run in the second game by stealing home in the sixth inning. His batting average at Bay City was .257 (slugging .353) on 102 games and 374 at-bats. The team ended the season with a .478 average, placing 5th among the 8 teams. <mask> also did some occasional umpiring in Windsor for the newly formed Trolley League and played for Walkerville after Bay City's season was finished. Berlin Green Sox, 1911-1912
In 1911 <mask> managed the Green Sox of Berlin, Ontario (later renamed Kitchener) to a pennant-winning 70-40 record in the Class D Canadian League (London, Hamilton, Guelph, St. Thomas, Brantford).At Berlin he played 103 games, mostly at first base, earning a .297 batting average and a .427 slugging percentage. The team's stellar record notwithstanding, owner "Pop" Williams just broke even financially. The problem was that Berlin's Victoria Park was not big enough to accommodate the numbers the team needed to stay in the black. <mask> thought a move to Windsor might be in order, for Wigle Park was, in the words of the Windsor Evening Record, "one of the best baseball diamonds in Ontario." So after the regular season he took the Green Sox to the Windsor area for exhibitions against local  teams and encouraged Windsor leaders to consider adopting the team. He also led a Canadian League all-star team that played exhibition games in the border area. As 1912 began there was no movement in Windsor for adopting the Green Sox, and Berlin authorities were dragging their feet on the prospect of expanding the facilities at Victoria Park.In February <mask> and "Pop" Williams negotiated with the city of Waterloo about moving the Berlin team there. Nothing came of that, but by April construction had begun on improvements to the Berlin field and <mask> was hiring men to replace the six from last year who had been snapped up by the majors. On May 11 the Berlin team came to Windsor for the latter's opening exhibition game at Wigle Park. <mask>'s team sported "the niftiest uniform in the league" and a new name, the Busy Bees. There was a bump in the road when the Ontario Municipal and Railway Board ruled that public moneys could not be spent on the Victoria Park improvements without a referendum. However, construction continued and all animosities crumbled at the season opener in Berlin, where <mask> was given a rousing welcome by 1500 fans, with a regimental band, a procession of leading citizens, and a presentation to Rube of "a monster bouquet and bag of gold." As the always adulatory Evening Record put it, "to show that his heart was in the right place [<mask>] won his game by 3 to 2" against the Brantford Red Sox.The league itself was upgraded this year to Class C and expanded to eight teams: Ottawa, Brantford, Hamilton, London, St. Thomas, Berlin, Guelph, and Peterborough. During the season <mask> continued to be the Renaissance Man of the diamond, serving as manager, utility outfielder, and sometime pitcher. He pinch-hit in one game against Ottawa on June 4 and in another on the 14th scored four runs on three hits and started a triple play. He pitched a total of 57 innings, was the pitcher of record in 9 games, won only 1 of them and lost 4. He batted 237 times for a .274 average in 63 games. However, the loss of those six men to the majors weighed heavily on the team. It ended up at 6th place in the 8-team league, with a .457 percentage.After the season, <mask> again organized a league all-star team that barnstormed the Ontario-Michigan area. London Tecumsehs, 1913
In 1913 all the Canadian League teams had new or reshuffled managers except Brantford and Hamilton. <mask> was traded to the London Tecumsehs. (The team had changed its name from the "Cockneys" in 1912, but newspapers continued to use the old name in their reports.) Rube came on as manager, pitcher, and utility outfielder. The league also instituted a new salary limit of $150 a month, which had been just an ordinary player's salary last season. On July 27 London was leading the league but lost to Ottawa 3-1.In the game "Manager Rube <mask> got into a row with Umpire Jocko Halligan, the London chief claiming that the Senators were putting licorice on the ball to prevent [London pitcher Bobby] Heck's spitball from working. Halligan examined the ball and tossed it back into play." Spitballs were permissible until the major leagues phased them out in the 1920s. By August 23 Ottawa was leading London in the standings .650 to .593. On that day the teams played a double-header in Ottawa that Halligan later called "the most exciting game of baseball he had ever witnessed in his 20 years experience on the diamond." In the first game London led 5-3 until the ninth, thanks to a <mask> grand slam in the fourth inning and an insurance run in the seventh. <mask> was also pitching well, but after giving up two hits and a run in the ninth he called Heck in to relieve him with two men out and two on base.Tragically, Heck walked his first batter and gave up a double to the second, losing the game 6-5. The second game was even more unusual. It went 12 scoreless innings and then had to be called on account of darkness. The following week London played its last two games at home before crowds of over 10,000. The team finished the season just one game behind Ottawa, with a .621 average. For the year, <mask> had pitched 105.1 innings in 17 games (won 5, lost 5), leading the league in strikeouts with 71. He also fielded in 94 games (fielding percentage: .754) and batted .291 in 296 at-bats (slugging: .399).After the regular season <mask> took his London team to Windsor for an exhibition game against the home team on Sept. 6. On the 21st, he led an all-star selection from the Canadian League against the Packards, a Detroit amateur team. Brantford Red Sox, 1914-1915

Despite his team's excellent finish in 1913, 1914 was a bad year for <mask>. The London owners decided to hire a new manager and keep Rube only as a player, at a lower salary. <mask> would have none of it, and had himself traded to the Brantford Red Sox for Ernest "Chubby" Coose. Brantford had finished last in 1913, and Coose's stats, though good enough, were not any better than <mask>'s. In his two seasons at Brantford, Coose had pitched 51 games, winning 20 and losing 17.He was also a decent utility outfielder, batting .273 and slugging .231. Perhaps London was impressed by his .963 fielding percentage. At any rate, when Coose told his new owners that he wanted "a big league salary . . . or he will not report," they chose the latter option. According to his page at Baseball-Reference.Com, Coose never played in a league again. As a player Rube was at first base with Brantford, batting 356 times in 94 games for a batting average of .272 (.365 slugging). But as a manager he could not do anything with the Red Sox, despite earnest efforts before the season to sign up a better class of player.Brantford ended up at the bottom of the league again in 1914, with a .404 average. In a bitter moment in mid-season <mask> called Frank Reisling, his replacement as manager at London, a "has-been." But in reality it was <mask>, at age 35, who was winding down his career. At the end of the season he suffered an injury in a game against Ottawa. The following year, his last in pro ball, would see him at bat in only 13 games (.250 batting average, .281 slugging). After predicting a successful season in April, <mask> was unable to keep the Red Sox out of the cellar. On June 10 the team asked for his resignation.Just two days after leaving Brantford Rube was in a new job as umpire in an Ottawa-London double-header. Reporting on the move the Windsor Evening Record called him "the man who did much to put baseball on the map in Western Ontario . . . one of the most prominent men in the game." Career in Public Safety

In 1917 <mask> signed on with the Ford City police force and served four years. Then in 1921 the Town of Riverside was organized on the Detroit River just east of Ford City. <mask> went to Riverside as Assistant Chief of Police, under Chief Dennis Mahoney. In 1922 the town added a constable to the force and built a five-cell police station on Riverside Drive.Articles about <mask>'s police work appeared regularly in the Border Cities Star through 1925. He kept track of lost property, chased speeders (including Ty Cobb), caught burglars and bootleggers, got into gun battles, rounded up suspicious characters, and with his colleagues managed to haul a dead horse out of Little River and return it to its owner for burial. He appears to have been something of a stickler for rules, advising citizens in the local newspaper about strict enforcement of open fires laws and warning that women who cuddled up to the driver of an automobile could expect a ticket. In 1922 Riverside also acquired a fire engine (a Ford, naturally), and soon Deneau was battling blazes as the town's default fireman.<ref>"Ford Engine Has First Run," Border Cities Star,"] Oct. 9, 1922, p. 7. Retrieved 16 Sept. 2011.</ref> In 1924 new fire fighting equipment was purchased and the town named Deneau Fire Chief. <mask> did this new work in addition to his police duties and his continuing commitment to local sports. While in Riverside he played in a bowling league and joined an old-timers baseball team.In 1919 during his stint with the Ford City police department he had coached Ford Motor's company team. <mask> died on Jan. 10, 1926, after a short and sudden bout with pneumonia, at his home at 132 Lauzon Road in Riverside. The following day the Border Cities Star'' ran an extensive and laudatory article. "Not only was Mr. <mask> highly esteemed in police circles," it said, "but in the sporting world he had earned for himself wide renown." <mask> had been an active parishioner of St. Rose of Lima church in Riverside, a member of the Holy Name Society and the Catholic Order of Foresters. That evening Riverside's town council passed a resolution of condolence and stood for two minutes of silence to honor him. The mayor said, "It is a shock we all will feel, for <mask>, or 'Rube' as we all knew him, was one of the most kind-hearted, most understanding, and still most efficient police officers we have ever had."In February the police departments of the Border Cities, along with the provincial police, organized a dance and box social at St. Rose to benefit their fallen comrade's widow Irene and his four daughters.

<mask> (born 19 June 1971) is an English former  footballer who played professionally as a striker from 1989 to 2005. He notably played in the Premier League for Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur. He grew up in North Wales, where he played in the amateur game for Llay Welfare before making his professional debut for Wrexham in 1989. After one season at Millwall, he made a £1 million transfer to Crystal Palace of the Premier League in 1992. In March 1995, he became the first Premier League player to receive a doping ban, testing positive for cannabis. He joined Tottenham Hotspur that June for a club record £4.5 million and was part of their team that won the League Cup in 1999. After a one-game spell at Bolton Wanderers, he returned to Wrexham for the remainder of his career.<mask> was tracked by the international teams of Wales, Nigeria and the Republic of Ireland but rejected all three. He earned one cap for England B in 1994 and was called up to the senior side in March 1999 but did not play. Club career

Early career
<mask> was born in Newcastle upon Tyne to an Irish father and Nigerian mother, and moved to London at age three. He was raised by foster parents in Wales, where he began playing as an amateur goalkeeper in local leagues, before leaving school and giving up on football aged 16. A friend reintroduced him to the game by bringing him to Llay Welfare in the Welsh National League, while he packed burgers during the day for £30 a week. He gained the attention of local professional club Wrexham. At Wrexham, <mask> made his professional debut as a teenager during the 1989–90 Football League season in the old Fourth Division, and managed to score three times through the course of the season.In his two-year spell at the club, he went on to play 60 games, scoring 13 times. He took part in the 1990–91 European Cup Winners' Cup, where he scored the only goal of the first round tie against Denmark's Lyngby before elimination by eventual champions Manchester United in the second round. He moved to Bruce Rioch's Millwall for £50,000 in August 1991. Crystal Palace
After one season with Millwall, <mask> joined Steve Coppell's Crystal Palace for £1 million in 1992, ahead of the inaugural season of the Premier League. He found a home at Selhurst Park, where he was the club's top-scorer with 23 league goals in his first campaign. In January 1995, Kevin Keegan's Newcastle United bid £4.7 million to sign <mask>, but Palace rejected the offer. In March 1995, <mask> tested positive for cannabis, becoming the first Premier League player to fail a drug test, and was banned for four matches.The Independent sports writer Glenn Moore criticised The FA for punishing <mask> despite not taking action against Dennis Wise and Vinnie Jones for recent violent offences, adding that cannabis was extremely unlikely to have aided his performance. <mask> finished the season on 18 goals, not enough to save the Eagles from relegation. His 23 Premier League goals for Palace were the club record until Wilfried Zaha surpassed him in August 2018. Tottenham Hotspur
After interest from FA Cup holders Everton, <mask> joined Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £4.5 million in June 1995, replacing Bayern Munich-bound Jürgen Klinsmann. With the funds coming from a new kit deal and the sales of Klinsmann, Gica Popescu and Ilie Dumitrescu, this made him both Tottenham's most expensive signing, until Les Ferdinand for £6 million in 1997. It was also Palace's most expensive sale, until Andrew Johnson joined Everton for £8.6 million in 2006. <mask> made his Spurs debut on 19 August in a 1–1 draw at Manchester City, and scored his first goals in the form of a brace on 20 September in a 4–0 win over Chester City in the second round of the League Cup.He totalled 22 goals (15 league) in his first season, including the winner in the North London derby against Arsenal on 18 November at White Hart Lane. At the start of the season, he was criticised by tabloids for a slow start, and was seen as an inadequate replacement for Klinsmann and inferior to Arsenal's new striker Dennis Bergkamp. However, he built up a prolific partnership with Teddy Sheringham; <mask>'s two goals in a 4–1 win over Manchester United on 1 January 1996 brought their combined total to 23 goals. On 28 December 1998, <mask> scored a late hat-trick in a 4–1 home win over Everton, and when he was substituted at the end of the game his teammate David Ginola got in his way to bow down to him. He scored five times in their League Cup run that season, including two in a 3–1 win over Manchester United in the quarter-finals, but was unused in the final at Wembley Stadium which Spurs won over Leicester City. <mask>'s 2000–01 season was disrupted by frequent groin injuries. Two ankle operations meant he missed the entirety of the following season.Final years
On 28 August 2002, <mask> signed for Bolton Wanderers in a deal that would see him earn a low wage until his first-team debut, estimated at two months away due to fitness. His only appearance came on 2 October, in a 1–0 home defeat to Bury in the second round of the League Cup, lasting just 53 minutes before being substituted for Henrik Pedersen. <mask> returned to Wrexham aged 32 on 4 July 2003, signing a three-year deal ahead of their return to the Second Division. International career
Towards the start of his professional career, <mask> was tracked by Wales, and was called up by Nigeria ahead of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, but turned them down in hope of representing England. Republic of Ireland managers Jack Charlton and Mick McCarthy also tried to enlist <mask> in the late 1990s; he later revealed that his Tottenham contract said that he could only play for England as to avoid limits on foreign players in European fixtures. <mask> played his only international match on 10 May 1994, a 3–2 friendly win for England B over Northern Ireland at Hillsborough. He came on as a 65th-minute substitute for <mask>.He received a call up to the England squad by Kevin Keegan to play Poland in March 1999, but was ultimately never capped for the senior side. Personal life
In July 2016, <mask> was arrested for possession of cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy after a raid in West Kensington. He pleaded guilty to possession of Class A and Class B drugs at Hammersmith Magistrates' Court and was fined £375. He denied having a drug problem. In July 2021, <mask> caused criminal damage and assaulted staff at a Tesco in Chelsea, London when they refused to open for him to buy cigarettes. He admitted to the offences at Westminster Magistrates' Court the following January. Honours

<mask>, also known as <mask> or <mask> (born 1962 in Tripoli, Lebanon), is a Palestinian singer, songwriter, musician, artist and journalist, founder of the world music bands Radiodervish and Al Darawish. Between 1998 and 2007 he worked as a foreign correspondent for the international network Al Jazeera, providing the western point of view relevant to international events, such as the September 11 attacks. Early life
<mask> was born in Tripoli in Lebanon, eighth of nine children, three males and six females, from Palestinian refugees. In 1948, just fourteen years before his birth, following the establishment of the state of Israel his parents fled from Jaffa, where they had lived until then in their own estate, later dispossessed by Israelis. In Lebanon <mask>'s father was a UN officer and UNRWA supervisor of institutes for Palestinian refugees' education. When in Lebanon, <mask> attended the Greek Orthodox college in the Christian district of Tripoli. To carry on his studies he firstly moved to Romania, where he enrolled in the University of Bucharest at the time of Nicolae Ceauşescu, eventually moving to Bari in Italy in 1983 to study Electrical Engineering at the local University.Career

Al Darawish

In 1988 Salameh founded the band Al Darawish. The group invented a style of their own by playing several instruments coming from various areas of the Mediterranean region. The result was a rich melt seasoned by different sounds and cultures and the band received great approval from the public. Theirs was one of the first world music projects in Italy and fuelled more multi-ethnic experiences in the country. For Salameh, this was the start of a long thriving musical career. In 1990, Al Darawish took part in the Biennale des Jeunes Créateurs d'Europe et de la Méditerranée in Marseille. In 1991 they were selected and performed for the musical festival Arezzo Wave among other artists coming from all over the world, then played at Carrefour de la Mediterranée in Thessaloniki in Greece.In 1993, Al Darawish recorded their first album Al Darawish, which was presented live from the auditorium of the national network RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana on Radio3. In the same year Al Darawish were guests at the Babylon festival in Iraq. In 1994, <mask> performed in Bari for the very first time with the Israeli singer Achinoam Nini aka Noa, with whom he has sung many times during his career. In 1995, Al Darawish were guests at Musicultura for the sixth edition of Premio Città Recanati and to the acclaimed Concerto del Primo Maggio, a massive musical event held every year on Labour Day in Rome, with the participation of great Italian and international artists. In July 1995 the movie Trafitti da un raggio di sole was released, with Al Darawish signing the soundtrack and <mask> playing a part himself as an actor. In 1996, Al Darawish recorded their second album Radio Dervish. Radiodervish

In 1997 Al Darawish disbanded.In the same year this was followed by the formation of the new band Radiodervish, by <mask> <mask> and Michele Lobaccaro, co-performer and co-founder of Al Darawish. Also in 1997 <mask> was asked to sing the anthem of the thirteenth edition of the Mediterranean Games, a multi-disciplinary sports event joined by athletes from the Mediterranean region: that year the games were held in Italy and <mask> was chosen as a Palestinian artist to perform for such event, for the very first time ever. In 1998 Radiodervish recorded their first album Lingua contro lingua, published under the label I dischi del mulo and distributed by the multinational recording company Polygram: this work was awarded best record debut of the year by the Italian musical contest Piero Ciampi. Jovanotti and Achinoam Nini

In November 1999, <mask> took part in one of the most important events organized by UNESCO during the 20th century, Music for Peace, held in Paris, together with other international artists such as Gregory Peck, Sidney Poitier, Lionel Richie, Peter Ustinov, Zucchero. At the end of the year, <mask> duetted with Jovanotti (born Lorenzo Cherubini) for the video recording of the latter's track Stella Cometa, and it was in that occasion that Jovanotti asked <mask> <mask> to render that song lyrics in Arabic and sing it. That is how Cherubini's single CD Dolce Fare Niente Remix turned out with three tracks, the first homonymous sung in Italian by Jovanotti, the second, Stella Cometa / Stella d'Oriente, as a duo by Cherubini/<mask> and the third Stella d'Oriente totally sung in Arabic by <mask> Salameh. July 2000 brought to Nabil Salameh and the Israeli singer Achinoam Nini the recognition of honorary citizenship by the Mayor of Melpignano, who awarded the two artists for their continuous effort and commitment to build relationships between different cultures and for their effective activism for peace.In December of the same year, <mask> and Noa performed together on stage in a special concert for peace held in the Cathedral of Monreale and directed by Nicola Piovani with the Sicilian Symphonic Orchestra, for the United Nations convention against transnational organized crime, in presence of delegates from 189 nations. The activity for peace of the two artists has been also appreciated by the association Accademia del Mediterraneo, which awarded them with Premio Mediterraneo arte 2001 for the usage of the universal language of music as a means to peace. World touring

In March 2001 <mask> <mask> and Michele Lobaccaro presented a new musical project by Radiodervish, In Acustico, at La Vallisa in Bari, a church dating back to the tenth century now transformed in an auditorium. The project was meant to sustain the activities of the association Salaam ragazzi dell'olivo to support the children in the Palestinian refugee camp of Al Fawwar, in Hebron, West Bank. The event brought the house down, with six evening performances all sold out and gave origin to the stuff contained in the CD-ROM In Acustico. In June 2001, Salameh and Radiodervish are invited to perform in Beirut for the Fête de la Musique, held internationally on 21 June any year and in Lebanon for the very first time that year. The experience was set in a rare atmosphere: Beirut was thirsty of feeling and showing alive, after so many wars and scars left by years and years of quite never ending conflicts, and <mask> was back in the country where he was born, even though not being a Lebanese himself, being stateless as a child of Palestinian refugees, with his family still leaving there.A moving documentary was made, Li Beirut, filmed by the director Marco Preti who accompanied Radiodervish in Lebanon, and a touching article, written by the journalist Massimo Zamboni, published on the magazine Diario. In 2002, Radiodervish was still touring with their project In Acustico. In January, <mask> and Radiodervish took part in the yearly concert held for Epiphany festivity, broadcast by RAI Rai 1 TV network: the theme of the show was peace in the Middle East and <mask> duetted again with Noa in the moving setting of Santa Chiara's monastery in Naples. For this occasion Radiodervish performed a national preview of the new single Centro del Mundo, which gave name to the following album by the band, released the next summer. Later that year in May, Radiodervish performed in the traditional Labour Day concert held in Brussels, which was dedicated to peace development in the Middle East. Later that same month, <mask> was again involved in another event by the same subject, Time for peace, held at the Colosseum in Rome and broadcast live worldwide. Here <mask> sang Centro del Mundo with Noa, with whom he also joined the peace walk Perugia-Assisi.Radiodervish's album Centro del Mundo was released in June 2002, under the newborn label Cosmasola, and distributed by Il Manifesto CD. This new work was inspired by the changeableness and uprooting which influence the soul of human beings, and the music and tracks contained in the album tell the stories and feelings of people living between two cultures. Radiodervish were on tour all over Italy from August till the end of the year. In line with their personal social commitment, during this period they engaged in the Giubileo degli Oppressi, a series of events and meetings organized both by clerics and lay people aimed to find practical solutions against wars and to integrate people generally living in the fringe of society bearing no guilt, such as the needy, refugees, humans struck by conflicts, unemployed, homeless people. In September 2002 <mask> and Radiodervish performed at the second Summit of Mayors of the World for Peace, held in Athens, and in October they were guests at Premio Tenco, a musical contest organized every year in Italy. Following an invitation by the University of Bari and the publisher Meridiana Editrice, in December 2002 <mask> <mask> and Michele Lobaccaro met and interviewed professor Arie Nadler, an Israeli sociologist, director of the Peres Centre for Peace in Tel Aviv, discussing the subject Building a peace memorial, that is to say how to develop a peaceful coexistence by sharing individual experience and memories. Paris and Italy

On 26 and 27 March 2003 Nabil played with Radiodervish at the impressive scenery of the Olympia in Paris, entering the élite of the international stars who have performed on the coveted stage.In August 2003 <mask> sang in the closing evening of the festival La Notte della Taranta, interpreting a traditional musical piece from Salento, arranged by the co-performer Stewart Copeland for that special occasion. In 2004 Radiodervish worked on a musical project inspired by the book Manteq aṭ-Ṭayr, The Conference of the Birds, by Farid al-Din Attar, a Persian poet, theoretician of Sufism. The project fed two artistic productions: the new album In search of Simurgh (Cosmasola / Il Manifesto), produced by Saro Cosentino and distributed also in the Asian market (Japan, China, Taiwan and Corea), and a play with the same name of the CD, woven with the work Ali di Polvere, written by the director and actress Teresa Ludovico, also performing on the stage with Radiodervish for this play, in which acting, poetry, music and lights melt together in a unique show. In 2006 <mask> and Radiodervish were on tour with another play, Amara Terra Mia, together with the actor Giuseppe Battiston. The show was a tribute to the Italian singer and songwriter Domenico Modugno: two of his best known songs, Amara Terra Mia and Tu si na cosa grande, were given a place of honour in this work, arranged here to be sung partly in Italian and Arabic. The play also produced an audio CD and a DVD, the former containing the audio recording of the live show, in which the songs of Radiodervish laid next to some texts recited by Battiston, in a tale of human beings on an eternal journey, moving among lands and cultures, between West and East, and the latter including the video clip of the song Amara Terra Mia, directed by the artist, singer and composer Franco Battiato and a recording from the show during the live given at Teatro Kismet OperA in Bari. In 2007 Radiodervish released the album L'immagine di te (Radiofandango / Cosmasola) produced by Franco Battiato.On 14 September <mask> <mask> became an Italian subject by an ordinance of the Republic of Italy, acquiring a citizenship after having been stateless for years and years, just like most Palestinians are. 2008–2010

In 2008 <mask> <mask> gave his voice to dub the character of the magpie Muezzin in the cartoon movie La luna nel deserto directed by Cosimo Damiano Damato. The soundtrack of this movie was also by Radiodervish. He is also the narrator in Terra Salata, a documentary produced by the association Mediterraid, which organizes a tour around the Mediterranean Sea every year with the aim of promoting relationship among people coming from the different countries of the area. Also in 2008 <mask> contributed to the CD Il fiore splendente by Etta Scollo, a work on the Arab poets who lived in Sicily between the ninth and the twelfth centuries: the album, recorded in Berlin, was also presented at the concert hall of the Berliner Philharmoniker during a tour around Germany, in which <mask> took part. Between May and June 2008, <mask> <mask> held a seminar within the journalism and short story writing course given at the library centre Santa Teresa dei Maschi, run by the province of Bari. Between 2008 and 2009 <mask> and the Radiodervish were involved in more projects together with other artists.For the festival Divinamente Roma, with the participation of the actor Valter Malosti they set up the show Con le radici al cielo, a well-done and successful experiment in which mysticism was driven by poetry and essential music. In another show, accompanied by the live music of Radiodervish, the writer Carlo Lucarelli read some passages from his book L'ottava vibrazione, speaking about the experience of the Italian soldiers fighting against the Abyssinian army of Menelik in Ethiopia at the end of the nineteenth century. In this period Nabil and Radiodervish organized and led a new cultural project, Le Porte dell'Occidente, held at the Norman-Swabian castle of Sannicandro di Bari, which became the permanent residence of numerous cultural events, from music performances to video screenings, from exhibitions to artistic workshops dedicated to schools, in which Radiodervish and other artists coming from different parts of the Mediterranean area involved themselves to promote cultural and artistic development as well as widen knowledge and consciousness of a common Mediterranean culture. During this very intense and creative period Radiodervish started cherishing the project of a new album. Following the experience of integration spent during Le Porte dell'Occidente, in May 2009 Nabil and Radiodervish went on a tour together with the Arab Orchestra of Nazareth, starting playing with them in Tel Aviv on the stage of the Tzavta theatre and then in Italy in June. During their next stay in Jerusalem, a very touching artistic and personal experience, they drew the inspiration for Beyond the Sea, the album released in October 2009 which was partially written there and completed in Apulia. This work, produced by Saro Cosentino, was enriched by sounds coming from Palestine and Israel, thanks to the contribution of artists such as the Arab Israeli Soloist of the Nazareth orchestra and Zohar Fresco.In 2010 Radiodervish released the album Bandervish, including some of their songs and other famous pieces from the Middle Eastern musical tradition, such as Fogh el Nakhal and Lamma Badah, all of them arranged by the talented musician Livio Minafra and played by Radiodervish and the Band of Sannicandro di Bari. 2011–2012
In 2011 <mask> <mask> gave life to a project called Esperanto – Note di speranza: his aim was to collect funds to sustain the music schools in the West Bank. The first edition was held at Politeama Greco in Lecce with a concert played by Radiodervish, Paola Turci, Niccolò Fabio, Simone Cristicchi and Yo Yo Mundi. In May 2011 Radiodervish were invited to play at the opening evening of the Literature Festival of Cairo with a concert given at Cairo Opera House. Later in 2011 <mask> <mask> was on tour in Italy with Franco Battiato for the project Diwan, which recalled the Arab poetry mastering school raised in Sicily around 1000 a.c. and made it alive again by playing texts collected from the old Arab tradition, from Andalusia to North Africa to Middle East. In the beginning of 2012 <mask> developed the education programme Lezioni di musica – Il mondo arabo del '900 attraverso la sua musica, a training path consisting in learning about the Arab world of the past century by looking through the eyes of its music. By introducing his course <mask> <mask> expressed awareness that art, to which music pertains, can speak volumes about a culture and its evolution, sometimes even more than a history book written by somebody with a story and a look of his own, whereas music is the voice of multiple human beings and comes from inside one's soul.The course was held for the first time at Liceo Docet in Casarano in Italy and there will be more sessions in the future in other parts of the country. On 29 June 2012 the monthly magazine XL by La Repubblica, published the compilation Dal pesce alla Luna, a selection of songs by Radiodervish released during the past years of their career plus a new track, In fondo ai tuoi occhi, which will be included in the forthcoming album. The same compilation is also released on 30 October of the same year by Sony Music Entertainment and produced by Cosmasola: this second edition contains the version of Centro del Mundo sang with Noa. 2013 and the new album by Radiodervish
On 5 February 2013 Radiodervish release the album Human: this new work is a collection of stories and thoughts driven from a time of profound crisis such as that occurred in the world during the last years. Economical recession as well as loss of perception of the intimate human nature in an era that leaves no time left to self-inspection are seen as an opportunity to confront with the damage caused by hard times and to move forward with a brand new positive change.

<mask> (Vélez-Málaga, 21 June 1954 – Málaga, 27 February 2011) was a Spanish actress, model and beauty queen who won the Miss Universe 1974 competition in Manila, Philippines, being the first and only Spaniard titleholder in this line of pageants. Muñoz surrendered both the title and crown after six months due to refusal to follow organizational regulations. During that time, no  successor was willing nor assigned to officially take her vacated placement. After her shortened reign, Muñoz became a popular actress and starred in several comedies, including Mama Turns 100, and in the dramas Clara es el Precio, The Other Bedroom and Dedicatory. Her personal life was often shrouded in notorious events and controversies. She died on 27 February 2011 due to cerebral aneurysm complications and was buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery of Saint Michael in Málaga city. Early life
<mask> was born on 21 June 1954 to a blacksmith father and a housewife.She was the firstborn child among six children. Her godparents helped raise her at age seven due to their family’s poverty. After finishing high school, she worked as an administrative office assistant for “The Southern” local newspaper in Málaga. The gay male director of the newspaper agency strongly  encouraged Muñoz to enter the beauty contest, “El Certamen de Belleza de Costa del Sol”  (English: Miss Sun Coast Beauty Contest) which gained her an entry sash to participate and won in the 1973 Miss Spain contest in Lanzarote city. Miss Universe
Amparo Muñoz came from the town of Vélez-Málaga (Málaga) in Andalusia, where she had won the city title, to compete at the Miss Spain contest held in Lanzarote. After winning, she went on to win the Miss Universe 1974 pageant in Manila, Philippines. According to her translator, she was homesick; six months after winning, she gave up her crown after she reportedly refused travel to Japan.However, the Miss Universe Organization decided that Muñoz will still remain as the official titleholder of Miss Universe 1974 since the title was not offered to 1st runner-up Miss Wales Helen Elizabeth Morgan who eventually won Miss World 1974 later that year only to be dethroned a few days after winning the crown. Cinematic career

After her victory in the world of beauty, the world of cinema took interest in her. Her first steps in the world of film came in 1973 with in Wholesome Married Life, directed by Roberto Bodegas and written by José Luis Garci, she played the temptress of José Sacristán, a married man obsessed with publicity. In Tocata y fuga de Lolita she was the rebellious girl who displayed her beautiful bust, a big contributor to the movie’s popularity. In the 70’s, Spanish cinema was at the height of destape [double meaning: “liberalization” and “nudity”], and the splendid figure of <mask> Muñoz found 9 titles in which to reveal itself, including Clara es el Precio (Vicente Aranda, 1975), and The Other Bedroom (Eloy de la Iglesia, 1976), in which Amparo starred alongside the man who would be her first husband, the actor and singer Patxi Andión. After appearances in Volvoreta (José Antonio Nieves Conde, 1976), Del amor y de la muerte (Antonio Giménez Rico, 1977), among other films, her cinematic career took a notable turn when she began a relationship with the producer Elías Querejeta, facilitating her appearances in films as important as Dedicatory (Jaime Chávarri, 1980), which called her to the attention of other directors in both Spain and Mexico, such as Felipe Cazals (Las siete cucas ), Pilar Miró (We Will Speak Tonight), Jaime Camino (The Open Balcony), Emilio Martínez Lázaro (Lulú of the Night), Imanol Uribe (The Black Moon). She became an instant celebrity in Spain, alongside the likes of Nino Bravo, Pedro Carrasco, Rocío Dúrcal, Rocío Jurado, Camilo Sesto, La Pandilla and other Spanish celebrities of the 1970s, following her victory at Miss Universe with a fruitful show business career.In 1979, Muñoz acted in the comedy Mama Turns 100, by Carlos Saura. This was followed by performances in 1982's Todo un Hombre (He's all a Man), 1999's A Paradise Under the Stars and 2003's El Tahur. In the late-1990s, she returned to mainstream Spanish cinema with the movie Familia, by Fernando León de Aranoa and started a new life as an actress. In 1980, she went to live in Mexico and partnered with Chilean national Flavio Labarca, who ran an antique shop. In 1991, she lived with Victor Guijarro in the Philippines, thereby disappearing from film for seven years (1989-1996), but eventually her immediate family requested her return to Spain, during which began the alleged melancholia and extreme mental depression of Muñoz. Returning to Spain, growing tabloid newspaper accusations of mental depression, drug addiction, Parkinson’s Disease, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus coupled with poverty and melancholia ravaged Muñoz’ public image, along with the physical decrepitude  allegedly causing emotional shame and her imminent  withdrawal from society. Personal life

In 1976, Muñoz met singer-songwriter Patxi Andión, who would become her first husband, while making  The Other Bedroom.They were married on 16 May 1976 and divorced in 1978, however due to the irregularities of this marriage according to Constitution of Spain, it was not legally finalized until 1983. Afterwards, Muñoz had brief relationships with Antonio Flores, Vicente Fernández and Máximo Valverde. She also dated both Flavio Labarca when she lived in Mexico in 1980 and Víctor Rubio Guijarro in the Philippines in 1991, both who suffered from drug abuse by which Muñoz called off in both relationships. The most significant extramarital relationship of Muñoz's life was with  Elías Querejeta. She met Querejeta on the set of Mamá cumple cien años, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 52nd Academy Awards. The relationship subsequently received much publicity. Querejeta remained married to his wife throughout their relationship—although he and his wife had been living separate lives, there was never an official split and neither party pursued a divorce.Accordingly, Muñoz as a mistress, did not interfere to break this union, and also never fought for possible marriage or conjugal rights. Death
Muñoz had been long struggling with health issues. In the spring of 1991, she suffered from acute pancreatitis. In 2003, she was formally diagnosed with a brain tumor along with an arterial malformation in the vicinity of her Cerebellum. Muñoz was advised by her physicians of imminent death in which she suffered two cerebral aneurysms, the first case which paralyzed half of her body. She died on 27 February 2011, at the age of 56. Her gravestone is marked at the Roman Catholic cemetery of Saint Michael in Málaga, Spain.Filmography

<mask> (in Catalan: <mask>, in France known as <mask>) (26 May 1825 – 31 March 1895) was a Catalan guitarist and song composer who established himself in Paris. Biography
<mask> was born in Barcelona and educated at the school of the Convent de la Mercè in Barcelona, where he began his studies in piano and guitar. Before he emigrated, <mask> gave successful concerts in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia between 1849 and 1852. From 1853 he settled in Paris and from 1857 toured frequently in France, the Netherlands and Germany. <mask> was a very good friend of the painter Édouard Manet and posed for him many times, one portrait being used as illustration for one of <mask>'s publications, Plainte Moresque, Op. 85, which is also dedicated to Manet. Besides many original compositions he wrote a Méthode de guitare (1891, see below) and an opera (Roger de Flor, 1868), which was not performed.In Paris, <mask> was much praised at the aristocratic salons and had a large number of pupils, including the brothers Alfred and Jules Cottin. His best-known piece was to be his song collection Dix Mélodies, which was praised by Felipe Pedrell as a "true model of what a composer's inspiration may create in this genre". <mask> died in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. Most of <mask>'s guitar works were not published at the time they were written but in collections of Dix Pièces (ten pieces) in 1887 and 1894, 12 Pièces faciles (12 easy pieces) in 1892 and a further six easy pieces in 1894. A later edition of ten easy pieces (1923) reprints some previously published pieces together with seven pieces that had apparently not previously been published. <mask>'s Méthode de guitare is very much a composer's method insofar as it contains numerous original compositions of varying length and difficulty. In the course of its 116 pages there are 16 Leçons (distributed over pages 3–14), 31 Exercises (pages 22–92) and 39 original compositions, ranging in length from one to five pages.Most of them are dedicated to one of his pupils, who included Guy de Polignac, member of a famous French noble family. Among the more substantial works there are two movements of a Sonata dialogue, dedicated to the memory of Fernando Sor (an Adagio on pp. 63–4, and an Allegro on pp. 102–4), a Jota (pp. 69–72), and Iberia (subtitled Valse de concert), pp. 110–4 (see below for full listing).
